Chapter 32: 5 years ago

23rd February, 0910hrs, Ponyville, 5 years ago…

Here Logan was standing front of Ponyville about to enter but soon he realized he was going attract attention.

“Hmmm…this is gonna be a little harder than I thought, There’s the past Mane Six, and my father is around so hopefully he doesn’t know I’m his son in pony form somehow, and these wings as well as my horn will attract attention, but I need my magic in case things go screwy. I guess my wings will have to hide for a while”

Logan quickly performed some complex Magic he learned from Twilight and his wings sunk in his body for a while and satisfied he can go in, he did so.

Ponyville looked almost the exact same it did in the present, the same ponies, the same buildings, and even the same weather. It’s almost as if somepony copy and pasted the present Ponyville into the past. In fact in the sky he could see Rainbow Dash flying high in the sky leaving a rainbow trail behind her as usual with no cares in the world…well tomorrow she certainly will have a care.

“Alright Plan:

1. Don’t talk to anypony or touch anything unnecessary!

2. Find out Location of Key

3. Obtain Key before destroyed

4. ???

5. Get the fuck out!

6. Profit!

Sounds reasonable now it's time to find that key!”

Unfortunately no battle plan survives contact with the enemy as he completely forgot about one very important thing: Pinkamana Diane Pie! Her “Pinkie Sense” will pick up Logan no matter how hard he tried and right on cue the Pink Earth Pony came walking up to Logan.

“(GASP!) OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH! NEW PONY!! Hiiiiii I’M Pinkie Pie and Welcome to Ponyville and what’s your name?” said Pinkie excitedly

“CRAPBASKETS! Ummm…quick Logan make a name up! Uh…um….I GOT IT! Blue Fire!”

“Blue fire Miss Pie” said Logan

“That is the worst name for a Pony ever! An guy with no imagination could think of a better name than you!”

“Weird name” commented Pinkie

“I get that a lot” said Logan

“Soooo, you wanna have a tour of Ponyville?” asked Pinkie

“Um…no thanks I’ll get used to the place at my own pace” said Logan

“Okie Dokie Loki! See ya later Bluey! La-la-la-la-laaa!” said Pinkie Pie leaving bouncing up and down

“That was close…and SERIOUSLY BRAIN?! Blue fire? Last time I trust you to make a name for me!”[/i]

Logan decided to walk around acting like he’s all knew and curious about the place and he realized he’s gonna have to make a cover story in a minute.

He looked at the clock and it struck 10 o’clock and he brainstormed for a moment on where he could possibly find the key.

“Hmmm…the key is in Ponyville, just where is it? And where in this peaceful town would you hide a key? I dunno…maybe underground…the Ponyville Sewers!”

Logan went to the nearest Ponyhole and went down it before landing in some murky sewage…

“Ewww…even in Equestria this stuff stinks!” commented Logan

But despite many searches of the sewer and double checking every nook and cranny it wasn’t there but he did get a nostalgia trip from a video game he played once going through these and humming a tune from it. He headed to the surface and quickly dipped himself in water to get the smell off and continued…

“Ok Sewers is out of the Question, where else would I look? The Antique shop? Maybe they found it here and it got destroyed in the fight perhaps?”

But that too held nothing but failure for Logan and gave him some frustration and facehoofed himself once he had the idea to check Twilight’s library. But he had to face Twilight but thankfully it’s not like the library is private or something, ponies can use the books.

So at 10:30am Logan showed up at the library and entered normally like Ponies would and at the desk sat Spike bored out of his mind and he looked smaller than the present Spike and looked cuter than he did in the present too.

“Um…hello” said Logan

“Hello there, welcome to the Golden Oak Library how can I help you?” greeted Spike

“Just browsing on books thanks” said Logan

“Make sure you put the books back or Twilight will murder you” warned Spike

“She doesn’t really do that does she?” asked Logan faking concern

“Nah she really doesn’t, but still don’t mess with her organization and everypony stays happy Mr…uh…” said Spike

“Blue Fire” said Logan

“Weird Name” said Spike

“Pinkie already said that” mentioned Logan

“You met Pinkie already, bet you she went all super happy on you” said Spike

“She did, I’m afraid to get her happy now” said Logan

“Ah don’t worry” snickered Spike knowing what was coming

“Maybe I should worry” said Logan

“Anyway as much as it would be social I must make sure the library stays good until Twilight gets back” said Spike

“Okay I’ll get to it then” said Logan

Logan started searching the books under Myths and Legends because there’s bound to be some record of it and Logan doubted somepony found it as the key wouldn’t of unlocked anything they’d find anyway.

3 hours later…

Logan went through a few books and was on a book called Ponyville Myths and Legends , although Ponyville was around 100 years old there still many legends about the place before it’s existence until Logan finally found a Legend…

Legend of the Purple Key…

Of many stories that are told in Ponyville, none are quite as interesting as the Legend of a Purple Key said to be hidden in Ponyville somewhere.

Legend has it that somewhere in Ponyville, a Purple Key exists that unlocks something. The True nature of this key is somewhat unknown but many theroists agree that the Key is Purple and there must be some reward for finding it.

Some say the Key unlocks some secret Riches, some say it may grant ultimate power and some say it unlocks something of great value hidden in Canterlot by Princess Celestia herself but one theory people have gone on is that the key is only part of a puzzle and other keys are required to get a reward from something.

However, by Searches everywhere in Ponyville such a key has been said to not exist at all or somepony has already found it or perhaps there is another key to finding this key.

Many have claimed to hear voices but only three kinds of numbers were ever heard and they were “3…3…3…9, 0…1…0…6 and 1...9…9…5. But such is assumed as insanity.

Logan looked away and he realized that if he was right, the numbers were a code somehow and that it was hidden somewhere but where? Logan kept writing and a note was pasted on the page and it wasn’t Twilight or Spike’s writing at all

Dear whoever reads this,

Unless you are the Hero of Elements, you cannot grab the key! Tried I have and failed, the key will kill you if you are not meant for it and in my dying breath I warn those who dare go after it, STAY AWAY!

If you are the hero, you should be accepted and enter the code into the Ponyville fountain at the time of Twilight in order to enter!

Something bad is happening soon…I can sense it…

There was nothing left as Logan quickly wrote a note he had writing the code and the location and it seems all he had to do was wait for Twilight time to occur and then he’ll enter grab the key and secure it then the present can be saved.

“I am the Hero of Elements, otherwise Navi would never of chosen me with this task so it must be my duty to defeat the Entity anyway! It Probably always has been!”

To be continued…
