A Wolf Among Ponies
Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Mission in Zebrafrica and a Birthday
Previous Chapter Next ChapterBoth Rage and I were tossed out of the portal and we skidded along the ground I immediately got up and ran back to the portal but it closed just before I could reach it. I stared at the empty space in silence before I let out a cry of anger and punched a wall cracking it before I leaned my back against the wall and slid down it.
"Damn you Ethen!" I yelled.
"He did the right thing after all Ash. We didn't need to go to their world and help them and yet we went and did it but this wasn't our fight this was theirs we just gave them support," Rage said.
"Yeah...Yeah I guess you're right I just hope those two will be alright," I said as I stood up.
"They're gods Ash I'm pretty sure they can handle a few nukes," Rage as he stood as well.
"True maybe I'm just being paranoid," I said.
"My thoughts exactly now come along you're son said his first words today and there's a party being made we don't want to miss it," Rage said.
Rage walked out of the room and I grabbed the map before I followed him. We walked down the hallways and we were told by some dwarves that there was a party outside Dream Castle. Rage and I found Dream Castle and the place was filled with all kinds of fantasy creatures like trolls sprites and a dragon or two while everyone was having a blast. Faust also introduced some friends she knew when she lived here and as the party continued I gave a toast to both Ethen and Evo and enjoyed myself.
A little while later while I was sitting down enjoying the party I felt a strange pulling sensation. It was like a small light tug I looked around but no one was tugging me but I could still feel it. I stood up and looked around and felt the tugging was pulling me away from the party so I followed the tugging and took to the air and followed it till it led be back to the dead forest we were in earlier. I landed on the ground and let the tugging guide me till it stopped and I saw I was in a large empty clearing. The only sound around was my feet treading on ashes as I walked into the centre of the clearing before I sent out a pulse of energy and found something beneath me buried in the ashes. I crouched down and cleared away the ash and discovered a small group of glowing gold and green spheres no bigger than my palm. I picked one up and scanned it feeling life come from the sphere indicating the sphere was an egg and from my memory I saw this egg was hope for a supposedly extinct species.
I then summoned a large satchel and placed the eggs inside of it carefully before I sent out another pulse of magic and scanned the area for more eggs and I soon had enough for a village. But I had to carry three satchels and as I was digging up the last one when I saw another egg only this one was black and lifeless as if all of the life inside its shell had been sucked out of it. I then heard a familiar shriek I hadn't heard in a while and looked around the clearing and summoned Whispering Wind and placed a shielding spell over all three of the satchels. Suddenly, a large hoard of creatures appeared and saw they were same creatures from the abandoned fortress where I rescued Faust. They were about half my size and skinny and had beady little yellow eyes and long ears and they were charging at me. I then remembered they hate light so I made my right arm become angelic and the holy cross appeared on my arm causing the creatures to stop
I then then flew upward but the creatures also grew wings out of their backs and followed. I then saw a lot of them had also flown ahead of me and made a wall to try and stop me so I added some speed and held the cross in front of me and smashed into the wall incinerating some of the creatures while others were knocked out of the sky. But the creatures behind me were still following so I charged some energy into my hand and when I was ready I air skidded to a stop as I turned around to face the creatures. Once I was ready I unleashed a beam of holy magic on them burning many and causing the rest to flee.
"Good riddance," I said.
I then turned around and flew back to Dream Valley and once I arrived I saw the others looked like they were saying goodbye.
"Ash where have you been?" Luna asked as I landed.
"I'm sorry Luna but something grabbed my attention that I had to check out," I said causing Luna to nod at my words.
"Ash Blade,"
I looked around and saw Jaghoki was walking over to me with the portrait of me and my family only it was wrapped in cloth for protection.
"I hope you didn't plan to leave this behind you're highness," Jaghoki said.
"That wasn't the plan but thank you and I told you to call me Ash," I said before I took the painting and hugged the dwarf king.
"I hope you find the answers you seek Ash," Jaghoki said.
"Thank you for all your Jaghoki may your years be good ones," I said before I let go of Jaghoki.
The others then gathered around me and we waved goodbye before I teleported us back to Canterlot High and when we arrived instead of being exhausted I still felt full of energy.
"Ash shouldn't you be out of energy after that?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah but for some reason I feel like I can do that for years and still not get tiered," I said.
"Perhaps it's because of your Hellish Booster you're full of energy," Faust said.
"Hellish Booster?" I asked.
"To put it simply when you were last here you activated you're Eclipse Breaker think of it as when you've broken a seal to unlock more power then you have now. The next seal you unlock will be either your Hellish Booster or Heavenly Booster. But once one is unlocked you cannot unlock the other," Faust said.
"So my Heavenly Booster is now completely dormant forever?" I asked.
"I'm afraid so Ash," Faust said.
"Dang my mom would be disappointed," I said.
"Do not fear your highness the Demonic Booster isn't a bad thing you can actually do a lot of good with it," Amalthea said.
"Heh if my fight with Lucifer and Lilith was any indication then yeah," I said.
"I'm just glad I got to hit Lucifer in the face," Jabir said as he held Lucifer's mace.
"Just don't go bragging to anyone about it otherwise they'll think you're crazy," I chuckled.
"Noted," Jabir said.
"Hey Ash," Eli said.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"If you're heading to find out where those crowns came from in Equestria you'd better take us along as well," Eli said.
"He's right we want to be there for you we are like a family when you think about it," Rebecca said causing me to smile.
"Yeah I guess you guys have earned it. Alright I'll take you but we're not going now I...I need to rest and get my head together so I'm prepared for this," I said.
This worlds group's nodded in understanding before we said our goodbyes to each other and we walked through the portal and once we were back in the library Twilight shut down the portal.
"Well that was incredible a trip to an ancient land we once lived in and meet creatures there that are still alive after who knows how long. Ash turning into a massive dragon with incalculable amounts of power a map of the multiverse is there anything else today can give us?" Twilight asked.
"Plenty," I said.
"Um excuse me Ash but what is wrapped in that cloth?" Octavia asked.
"Oh here I'll show you," I said.
I walked over to a table and placed the portrait on it and began to unwrap it. Once I did I heard the others awe at it before I felt a strange sensation in my shoulder and rubbed it before the sensation went away.
"Oh my the detail is absolutely divine," Rarity said.
"Oh look how cute baby Ash is," Fluttershy said causing the others to snicker while I blushed.
"The frame is a work of art as much as the picture is whoever made this was talented," Celestia said.
"Believe it or not Celestia a Draconequus was the one who made this he went by the name of Leonardo da Fuzzybrow," Faust said causing everyone to snicker or look at Discord and Eris in surprise.
"Nope absolutely not we Draconequuses are known to be trickster's not painters," Discord said folding his arms on his chest.
"That's not what mother said Discord," Dream Catcher said.
"Ahem," Faust coughed causing the two to stop their bickering.
"Faust I know this may seem strange but I'd like this to hang in the halls of Canterlot," I said.
"But Ash this belongs with you," Faust said.
"Faust what good is a picture if no one can see it if it stays in my home no one will see it. Honestly it's not like we get many visitors anyway besides art like this is meant to be seen," I said.
"*giggle* As always Ash you are right I have it hung in the castle's gallery in the most likely place to be seen the public are allowed to view it and also it will be well protected," Faust said.
"Thank you Faust," I said as I handed the painting to Faust.
"Yo Ash what's in those satchels cause you didn't have them when we left," Thunderlane said gesturing to the three satchels I was carrying.
"Oh right you guys are not going to believe this especially you Faust and Amalthea," I said as I placed the satchels on the table carefully.
I opened a flap and pulled out one of the eggs and showed the others causing both Faust and Amalthea's eyes to widen before they backed away.
"Mother what's wrong?" Chrysalis asked.
"Ash where did you find those?" Faust asked.
"That dead forest we appeared in when Amalthea teleported us," I said.
"How many were there?" Amalthea asked.
"A lot but the ones here are the fortunate ones. The others I’m sad to say didn't make it but I managed to grab enough for a small village," I said.
"Wait hang on a second what are you three talking about?" Vinyl asked.
"These are Flutterpony eggs and these little guys are the last hope for their species they were lucky I came along. Otherwise those damn creatures I saw when I saved Faust would have done something terrible," I said.
"Ash this fantastic but I'm a little worried as to why they haven't hatched yet," Faust said.
"I think I know why cause when you created Equestria you made everyone immortal and Spike said they couldn't reproduce. It was like they were frozen in time and when I remembered that I figured that these guys hatching was also frozen. So I thought about it and figured to help them grow we had to take them away from the time field and to here that way we can watch over them. However, since they're still eggs and because of the world crossing I don't know how it will affect them when they hatch because they were quadruped ponies and not well like you guys and they also have thicker coats of fur and butterfly wings and antenna," I said.
"Perhaps it won't do anything Ash but right now we must discuss what to do with them?" Faust asked.
"Why not leave them with Slendermane?" I asked.
"Slendermane do you honestly trust that thing?" Rainbow asked angrily.
"Damn right I do skittles aren't you forgetting he was the tree spirit in Dream Valley and he also lived among the Flutterponies for years protecting them. He knows them better than anyone here also where he lives is isolated and no one will dare venture that far into the Everfree to harm these creatures. Also he helped us he didn't have to but he did so yes I do trust him," I said as I put the egg back in the satchel.
"Ash is absolutely right again Slendermane cared deeply about the Flutterponies so I second his decision I'm just surprised he's here though," Amalthea said.
"Very well Amalthea and I will take these eggs to Slendermane it will also give us an excuse to catch up with him," Faust said.
"Great," I said as I got that feeling in my shoulder again and rubbed it.
"Something wrong with your arm Ash?" Mac asked.
"No idea what's going on but it's being annoying," I said before I removed my jacket and rolled up my right sleeve and looked at my arm to see my cutie mark was glowing and showed the others. "That's never happened before," suddenly I felt something grab me and begin to drag me before there was a bright light and I hit my head on something hard. "Ugh what just happened?" I asked as I rubbed my head and looked around and saw Twilight was looking over the map which is what I hit my head on. "Care to tell me what crawled up your skirt?"
"Just have a look at this," Twilight said pointing to the map.
I stood up and looked at the map and saw nothing out of the ordinary till I saw my cutie mark on the edge of the map in the south. I then swiped my hand over the map and followed the mark till it came over Zebrafrica and I saw two of my marks were in two different places. One was moving while the other was still and when I looked for any landmarks I only saw dessert. I zoomed in on the mark that stayed in place and saw what looked like a camp of some kind and when I looked at the moving cutie mark I saw it was a convoy and it was heading towards the other mark.
"Okay what's going on here?" I asked.
"You tell me your mark is on the map," Twilight said.
"But I'm not an Element Bearer Twi," I said.
"What's going on?"
I turned around and saw the others had come running in.
"Have a look at this," I said as I zoomed out and showed them the two marks.
"Ash's mark is on the map and in two separate locations ok I think it's safe to say the map is broken," Rage said.
"Rage this is Harmonic Crystal it doesn't have any flaws if it's doing this it must have a purpose but it's only designed to be for the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. As for why it's doing this I don't know unless...," Faust started.
"Unless what Faust you're killing us over here," I said.
"Ash at any point in since today and when this map appeared have you cut yourself on it?" Faust asked.
The question took me off guard but I gave it a thought and remembered.
"Now that I think about it before we went on vacation I accidently pricked my finger on a crystal," I said.
"Yeah Ash is right I was there when it happened," Twilight said.
"That explains it then," Faust said.
"Explains what?" I asked.
"Ash when you were born the doctors needed to take a blood test to make sure you were healthy so with the aid of a blood wielder they removed a small sample of blood its how they discovered your immortality but there was more," Amalthea said.
"More?" I asked.
"To put it simply Ash there was an unknown power in your blood it was small and hardly noticeable and it wasn't killing or hurting you in anyway so we didn't think on it too much. But apparently that something in your blood is indeed important," Faust said.
I then looked at my right arm and flexed it before I gave some thought.
"This isn't the first time something like this happened. When I placed my hand on the pedestal in front of the Tree of Harmony it drew my blood and then there was the time in the knight's tomb my blood was a key. Also the casket that held your body Faust and finally when I went to help my world at the Friendship Games I cut myself on the pages of the book that links our world and a portal opened," I said.
"It appears your blood may be like a skeleton key to unlocking different abilities in objects Ash," Faust said.
"A skeleton key?" Rainbow asked.
"It's basically a key that can open any lock Rainbow," Rage said.
"Ok that shit is just insane," Gilda said.
"Language!" Luna scolded while gesturing to our sons.
"Talk about a handy trick," Vinyl said.
"Yeah no doors can hold you now," Daring said.
"I'd rather be careful with this guys this power is dangerous," I said.
"Agreed but Ash this power you have we never got around to discovering what it can truly do and I'd like to run a few tests on it. For good reason's I assure you and I will do nothing that will make you uncomfortable and will keep you in the loop if something comes up," Faust said.
"Well Faust before we go doing that may I suggest we focus on what this all about?" I said gesturing to the map.
"Oh right I'll get in contact Queen Amara see if anything is happening in her country but until then I suggest you all rest," Faust said.
It's been three days since we came home from Dream Valley and now the mane 6 the royals Rage myself and the Immortals and Zecora were on a train cutting across the country of Zebrafrica. Zecora was here along with us because when I went to take Pip to his lesson with Zecora I mentioned there might be a problem in Zebrafrica so she's coming along to check on her hometown and family.
"I see well it is quite surprising that the old tales of the Demonic Angels are actually true. My mother told them to me when I was but a foal yet even after all this time I still love the stories," Queen Amara said after Faust told her of who I am
Amara was sitting across from the princesses and her guards were standing behind her while Rage and I stood in random corners of the room in our armour and weapons along with the Immortals. The girls (minus Twilight) and Zecora were in a car near the end keeping their eyes on Flurry Heart, Midnight and Pipsqueak while we talked.
"I just find it incredible that the Zebra's still know of them do you have old books detailing them?" Twilight asked.
"A few Princess Twilight but some we cannot decipher because that knowledge only belongs to the Demonic Angels. But for the ones we do know are of great battles against battles many of them were told as bedtime stories for foals some have named them guardians or protectors others call them gods," Amara said.
"You hear that Ash you're a god here," Rage chuckled.
"Indeed but to stand in the mere presence of the prince of such great civilization is more than one could ask for," Amara said.
"The words are kind Queen Amara and I am flattered you and you're subjects have put me and my people in such a high position but I will say I'm anything but a god," I said.
"I understand but now why exactly have you requested an audience with me you're highnesses," Amara asked
"Well to put it as simply as we can Ash has been summoned by and enchanted map that indicates if there is a problem in our world and...," Twilight started.
"She means to ask has there been any trouble in your nation as of late you're highness," Faust said.
"Hm not that I can think of except there have been a few missing ponies from random villagers," Amara said.
"Doesn't seem that strange," Rage said.
"But's that's just it we didn't think there was a problem either but then we saw a pattern always the same number of zebra's go missing in one village every five months. We set up guards patrols to keep an eye out in the villagers but ones who are doing this are crafty and always manage to get away and those that see them and follow show up on a random doorstep the next day dead," Amara said.
I looked at the royals and saw they were processing what Amara said and as I looked away I saw one of the Zebra guards looked nervous and after a while of talking the guard looked at his watch and left. But, seeing a suspicious guard never sat well with me so I followed him but kept out of his sight and when he checked to see if anyone was following I turned invisible. We arrived in the carriage before the one the girls, Zecora and the foals were in and saw him place a device next to the door and pushed a button before he hid it behind a curtain with that done I revealed myself.
"What's that do?" I asked.
The guard then spun around and began to sweat like crazy at my presence and backed away slowly but I rested a hand on Salvation.
"I'm not going to ask again," I said.
The guard then seemed to grow a backbone and pulled out a knife and ran at me but I just sighed and stepped to the side as he tried to stab me and held my leg out tripping him over causing him to drop the weapon. I then grabbed him by the back of his uniform and picked him up before I used my magic to grab the devise he placed and walked him into the room where the royals were and pushed him to the floor.
"Ash what's the meaning of this?" Celestia asked when I entered.
"Ask him he planted this in the car before the one the foals, element bearers and Zecora are in when I found him," I said as I showed them the devise.
"He's wearing the armour of honour guard but I don't recognize him," Amara said.
"Neither do I and I know everyone in the honour guard now that I think about it I don't remember seeing him in the ranks before today," a zebra guard said.
"Ok pal start explaining who are you and why did you place this back there?" I asked.
The Zebra's response was him just spitting on my foot I looked at the others and gave them a one moment gesture before I grabbed the Zebra's mane and pushed his head through a window. I then pulled him back in showing shards of glass in his face while he let out a cries of pain.
"Let's try that again now what is this devise for and why did you activate it?" I asked as I grabbed his right forearm in my left arm.
"It's a transmitter I was using it to register the royal foals location," the Zebra said.
"And why was it doing that?" I asked.
"So the others could kidnap them," the Zebra said before I let the words sink in. "Sir please understand it's just a job."
"Oh shit," Rage said.
"Just...a job...just a job?" I growled before I crushed the Zebra's arm as if it was dough forcing the Zebra to scream and fall to his knees before I let go of his arm and used my other hand to wrap it around his throat and squeezed. "That 'job' involves both my sons being kidnapped and you're saying it's just a job...boy do want to know what happens to those that push my temper to that limit?"
"Ash please put him down," Faust said calmly.
Doing as requested I dropped the Zebra while he whimpered in pain and held his limp arm and the real zebra honour guards placed a cuff on one arm and attached it to a railing that went around the car.
"Excuse me you're highnesses," a Zebra guard said as he entered the car before us.
"What is it?" Amara asked.
"We are seeing vehicles approaching from the southwest," the guard said.
I walked over to the broken window and saw large dust clouds approaching us.
"Looks like the rest of the group are coming," I said.
"What's the play boss," Lightning Dust asked.
"I've got a few ideas," I said as I used my magic to pull the transmitter to my hand.
I then gestured for the team to follow me towards the back of the train and I placed the transmitter back where the Zebra first placed it. I then got everyone out of the back cars and told the others the plan.
So we all in agreement," I asked.
"I like it simple but effective," Rage said.
"Yeah but there's a problem with the plan no one here knows how to drive," Quick Shot said.
"Actually I can," Nocturnal Shadow said.
"Seriously since when?" Storm Cloud asked.
"Dude you'd be surprised what I do in my down time," Nocturnal said.
"Alright Nocturnal drives Quick Shot you're on the gun rest of you pick up a weapon get on and shoot whatever comes into you're crosshairs," I said before I summoned the Knight XV Ethen left behind for us with a mounted gun on it.
"Rage summon Bone Rattler you, me and Shadow Ranger and these guys are going to tear shit up," I said.
"Done," Rage said before he let out a whistle and his bike Bone Rattler materialized with a demonic shriek before him next to the Knight.
I then let out my own whistle and my bike Shadow Ranger appeared on the other side of the Knight and let out a horse like whinny.
"Hello beautiful miss me?" I asked the bike receiving a happy neigh from it. "Same."
I climbed on the bike and realized I was too heavy while in my armour causing massive discomfort for Shadow Ranger. I quickly snapped my fingers so I was dressed in my casual clothes with my bike jacket and helmet but kept Whispering Wind and my pistols on me.
Sorry about that girl I gotta remember that my armour is heaver then I make it look," I said as I patted the side earning a snort from the bike. "Epsilon I'm going to need to know when those cars get close."
"Understood Ash," Epsilon said.
I then began scrolling through my songs for a song but then discovered something that has eluded me up till now a file that read 'to my hero' so with that I pressed play.
"Hey Ash it's me Noah from when you lost your arm I wanted to give a present to say thanks for saving me so I picked out a song from one of my favourite shows it's really good for when you're going fast anyway thanks again bye,"
I looked at the other song before I smiled and selected it before I placed my IPod into the IPod dock in the bike before I pressed play.

As I hit play Epsilon gave me a signal about the cars and the Knight XV roared to life and spun its back wheels around before it launched through the wall and out of the train car and onto another trucks driver seat crushing it right as the lyrics started. Rage then drove out and I wasn't far behind I remembered the terrain was made of sand. So with but a simple thought the shadows clinging around the tyres changed them from dirt tyres to sand tread tyres and I presume Rage did the same with Bone Rattler. Rage then drove to the other side of the train to take care of the other vehicles and the Knight XV was tearing a large truck apart with its mounted gun. I then finally noticed the enemy vehicles looked a lot like the ones in the Mad Max movie Fury Road which caused me to smirk.
I was suddenly boxed in by four cars the one in front of me and to my left were covered in spikes like a porcupine. I then used my magic and the chain I got from the last heat season coiled up my arm like a snake before I then flung it at the car ahead of me. The chain wrapped around the bumper and I gave it a flick and the chain lifted the car into the air before it came down on the car behind me. I then got the chain to let go of the car before both cars exploded the two other cars on either side of me then tried to crush me. But, I hit the brakes and dodged the attack before I was crushed and used the chain to grab the car and fling it into the other causing both to explode.
I then saw a Zebra on top of what looked like a Humvee was about to shoot the Quick Shot But, I climbed onto the seat and Shadow Ranger slowed down and got on the Humvee's side knowing what I was about to do before I then leapt onto the roof and grabbed the Zebra gunner and threw him away. I then jumped inside and saw about four Zebras in the car I saw one start to pull out a gun but I punched him in the face and that caused all the Zebras minus the driver to start trying to beat me up. But, I was able to handle it till one jumped on my back and pushed me into the front seat and then pulled me into the passenger seat. The driver then pulled out his gun to shoot me but I managed to pull out a feather blade and threw it at the driver's head killing him. I then went to push the Zebra on my back into the door to throw him off but I accidently pushed too hard and ripped the passenger door off. The Zebra on my back began to strangle me and another car drove up and the driver leaned out the window to shoot me.
I then hooked my foot into the steering wheel and gave it a jerk causing the car to go into a barrel roll. I managed to use my foot to pull myself back inside the car and elbowed the Zebra on my neck in the rib causing him to let go before I pulled myself to the driver window and noticed I was upside down. I quickly grabbed the edge of the window and pulled myself out of the window and flipped myself to land on my feet and let go of the Humvee just as it sailed overhead and I skidded to a stop while still maintaining my balance. I then watched the Humvee continue to barrel roll till it came to a stop and I gave a nod before I heard a horn behind me and saw a spiked truck coming towards me with a saw on the front.
"Ok," I said with a grin.
I began to walk forward and summoned my armour and began to jog and speed up till I was sprinting. I saw the saw line up with me but when it came in contact it broke and I slammed into the truck causing it to flip over me and crash upside down with an imprint of me in the crushed engine.
"Guess I'm tougher," I said.
I heard Shadow Ranger whinny as she came up next to me I then removed my armour before I got on her and drove to catch up with the train. And when I did I saw the Immortals and Rage were mopping up the last of the vehicles and I then created a magic ramp that led back inside of the destroyed car. Once everyone was on board I sent the Knight XV and Shadow Ranger home and Rage did the same with Bone Rattler and when that was done we walked back into the room where the others were.
"And that was without a single flap of my wings," I said as fluffed my wings.
"Dude that was nuts the one where you escaped that situation where you were inside the car was awesome. And Rage the way you used your chains to slash through the cars like butter was awesome and you guys it was like you were in a tank with that thing," Rainbow exclaimed.
"Truly impressive from all of you and I have good news we interrogated the Zebra and he's a member of the group that are abducting civilians and the base of operations is where you have described. He was also kind enough to give us some more information like guard patrol times and convoy deliveries," Amara said as she gestured to the captured Zebra.
"Alright then looks like we have a mission team," I said to the Immortals and Rage.
The team and I were waiting in the in the sands half buried for camouflage and to escape the heat while Lighting was hidden in a dessert cloud above us. We were waiting for the convoy to come past and we had set up a trap for it but now we just had to wait suddenly I felt vibrations and heard an engine I had a look and saw the convoy was approaching.
"Alright everyone game time," I said mentally.
We watched as the first car and the cargo truck passed but that's when Rage pressed a button that activated some road spikes that blew the tyres out causing the car to stop along with the other vehicles. The guards then went to check out the problem but the spikes had already disappeared back into the sand. I then saw most of the guards protected the cargo truck while two inspected the tyres.
"Alright Lightning let's cut their line of sight," I said mentally.
Lightning then then flew close to the ground and flew in circles around us while Rage and I camouflaged her from the convoy guards. Soon sand began to pick up and with a little help from me a sandstorm rushed over the convoy and I gave the signal. The Immortals, Rage and I stood and entered the storm but we kept our eyes open and senses sharp and I could see the faint outline of the convoy and the guards scrambling around to escape the storm. I made sure I got close to the convoy I saw a guard was struggling against the wind I walked up to him and when he finally noticed me it was too late because I had him in a sleeper hold and knocked him out.
I saw the others were handling the guards quietly and I saw the two guards take cover in the busted car. I walked over to it and ripped off the door surprising the two Zebra's before I aimed my pistols at the two I then shot the two with stun rounds causing them to fall asleep. I then cuffed them to the car because Amara wanted as many of these guys alive as possible alive. I then got okay's from the others telling me that they have taken care of their guards and I gave the okay for Lightning to stop which she did and the sand settled.
I looked around at the scene and nodded the group and me then tied/cuffed the Zebra’s to the car and I made sure to cut off any communication these guys may have along with chances of escape before I placed a beacon on their car for someone to come pick them up. I then looked at the cargo truck and gestured for everyone to stack up on it and when we were ready I gestured for Rage to open the door. And when he opened them ten mare and stallion zebras from inside jumped at Rage causing the rest of us to pull them off him.
"Hey, hey, hey it's alright were not your enemy were friends were here to help," I said as I calmed two zebra's down.
"Who are you ponies," a stallion asked.
"Were an elite team in the Equestrian forces known as the Immortals," I said.
"Immortals as in the ones from the Diamond Dog kingdom?" a mare asked.
"The very same," Storm Cloud boasted.
"We are here on a mission to rescue kidnapped civilians which is where those guys were taking you," Nocturnal said gesturing to the group of unconscious Zebras behind her.
"Well you have our gratitude is there something we can do to help you with?" the stallion asked.
"As we said we're heading to the same place as those pricks were taking you but we need you to come along so we can free more civilians," I said.
"Wait go into the lion’s den so to speak," a mare asked.
"I know you lot don't like that idea but if we drive this there without you guys we'll be busted and won't save anyone besides it’s a long walk to almost anywhere out here," I said.
The group of zebra's then huddled together to talk before they looked at me.
"Very well we will accompany you our trust is in your hands," the stallion said.
"Thank you," I said.
The Zebras climbed back inside along with the Immortals while Rage and I climbed into the front seats after I grabbed a zebra guards ID tags. I then managed to shape shift into a perfect copy of him before I then drove us all the way to their camp and Rage camouflaged himself. I then showed the ID tag and drove the truck inside the parking bay I then climbed down from the driver seat and was met with a single guard.
"Hey Zephier just need to go through with the search again for bugs so you know the drill," the zebra said.
"Of course," I said as I held my arms out while the zebra searched my body.
"So what happened with your escort?" the Zebra asked.
"We were being followed so they went to take care of the problem should be back soon though," I said.
"Pah let them come it's not like they can get inside with all the hostages and I don't mind living here hell with all the milk those mares produce in their fat tits it's enough to make my mouth water not to mention the fact we can screw em how we please it’s what were here for eh," the guard said.
"A breeding station huh oh you lot are so lucky I'm taking you in alive," I said mentally.
"Alright just need to look in the cockpit for anything and then we can look at the new batch," the guard said before he looked inside the cockpit and looked at me again. “Alright seems you’re clean."
"Wait didn't the other guy look suspicious?" I asked.
"Other guy?" the guard asked.
The door to the truck suddenly closed and hit the guard in the head and knocked him out before Rage revealed himself and hopped down and handed me my weapons.
"Y'know I was really tempted to kill this guy," Rage said.
"I know the feeling but you know we have to keep them alive," I said as I turned back to normal and summoned my armour and put on my weapons.
I then got the others out of the back and told the captives to go hide before I led the group over to an office and saw a map showing the guard patrol routs and lunch break schedule where all the guards go on break. This made things all too easy as if they wanted us to break in. We then walked into the main area and saw six rectangular towers around five stories high with small rectangular prism wire cages stacked on top of one another. Each one was filled with one Zebra either a stallion or a mare and all of them were naked and being treated like animals.
"Sweet Celestia," Swift Spear muttered.
"I'm getting a nasty itch to kill now," Lightning growled.
"I'm aware everyone feels it I feel it too but you know our orders are to take them alive for the queen's punishment lethal force is last resort option only and that's an order," I said.
"Understood sir," everyone said.
Suddenly the lunch buzzer rang and all the guards left causing me to nod.
"Alright Lightning Dust, Nocturnal I need you both in the surveillance room and sabotage the cameras keep their eyes off us. Holy Light, Swift Spear there is a lever that electrocutes the cages to prevent riots from the prisoners sabotage that and we don't need to worry about the prisoners getting hurt or used as leverage. Quick Shot you're our eye in the sky let us know if something changes. Rage find their commander we're going to take him in personally and 'alive'," I said.
"Yeah, yeah," Rage said.
"Storm Cloud you and me are going to visit the mess hall and knock out some guards," I said.
"Yes sir," Storm Cloud saluted.
We each went off to complete our separate objectives Storm Cloud and I flew over to the mess hall that was in the west of the compound. I did a scan of the building indicating all of the guards were inside and I then told Storm Cloud to find another opening and seal it shut before I went and did the same for another door. We also made sure the windows wouldn't open before Storm Cloud returned with a salute indicating that he had finished his task. I gave a nod before I shut off the ventilation in the room and tossed in some smoke grenades that were filled with a sleeping smoke and barred the entrance again. I heard the guards shouting and desperately searching for a way out of the room and it continued until there was but silence.
I then got word that the others had completed their tasks and I gave the word to start freeing the prisoners before I called in our evac. We then went to the task of opening the cages and freeing the prisoners and helped them with basically whatever they needed till the Pale Horse arrived. All the former prisoners were placed on the deck of ship and given proper attention and we placed the Zebra guards and Zebra in charge in the holding cells of the ship. I then told the Immortals and Rage that if any of them tried anything they had the ok to go fuck them up and before we knew it we arrived at the Zebrafrica capital.
We unloaded the prisoners (some beaten badly) and victims and Queen Amara gave our team medals for our heroism before we left for home which was a quiet trip back. And when we arrived outside my place it was midnight and The Immortals, Rage and I shared a quick drink and toast. The Immortals and I then disembarked the Pale Horse and the ship left along with Rage and I waved goodbye to the others before I went to bed.
I woke up and saw Luna wasn't around and when I looked at the clock I saw it was 10 am so I got up complete my morning routine and then went to fix myself some breakfast because Silver Tray and Feather Duster weren't here. That's when I realized I was the only one in the house. I was confused about what was happening till I saw a note on the table so I set down my breakfast and picked up the note and read it.
Ash
I'm writing you this cause your presence is requested at Ponyville Park today so when you are able to can you come over
With love
Luna
I was confused as to I was requested in Ponyville Park but I figured I'd find out when I got there. So I finished my cereal and washed my dish before I stepped out of my home and saw it was absolutely quiet and that there were no ponies around. I was a little confused and a little worried as to what was going on but I just calmly walked through the streets of the town. I soon got a bad feeling in my gut the only sound was the wind blowing through the streets which unnerved me and when I got to the park I saw it was just as abandoned as the town.
“Hello,” I called out
"SURPRISE!"
I almost leapt ten feet into the air when I saw the town appear out of thin air along with confetti raining down around me along with some streamers. I then saw a banner hanging above saying in big colourful letters HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I then saw all my friends from Equestria were here along with the mane 6 from Earth Jabir, Rosa, Akachi, Eli and Rebecca were here as well.
"WereyousurprisedwereyawereyawereyaFaustcamealongtwodaysagototellusthatyourbirthdaywastodayandthatgotmeultrasupermegaduperexcitedbutthenIrememberedyou'veneverhadarealbirthdaybeforeonyouractualbirthdayandthatmademesoverysadsomeandmyothermedecidedtothrowyouthebestbirthdaypartyforyouever," Pinkie said.
"Wait my birthday as in MY birthday?" I asked.
"Of course silly do you really think I'd allow you to miss your own birthday? Faust said.
I was in shock about what was happening that when I came back to reality everyone was pulling me to the table were I saw a massive spread of food laid out on it and in the centre was a massive cake that rivalled Rainbow's on her birthaversary. Except mine had grey and blue frosting and a small statue of my Cutie Mark on top along with some sparklers and all along the top of the layers were candles and written on the sides it said HAPPY 10,000,000,000,000th BIRTHDAY ASH!
"That's my age damn," I said feeling flustered at my words.
"And for a party like this Ash I had to call in some help," Pinkie said.
"You call in some help Pinkie that's not like you who's this pony that you brought to help?" I asked
"That would be me my good man."
I spun around and saw a tanned yellow coat and brown poofy mane and tail like Pinkie's and he had a yellow t-shirt and blue pants and he had a cheese filled sandwich that looked like it was being used as an accordion on his shirt indicating it was his cutie mark.
"Cheese Sandwich I didn’t know you were in town," I said.
"Howdy Ash my cheesy sense was a tingling telling me some kinda party was going down here and I also got a call from Pinkie Pie for some assistance and when I heard the details I just couldn't turn this down," Cheese Sandwich said.
"Hey why are you standing around here for you have a party to enjoy," Pinkie said before she pushed me onto the dance floor while she got on stage and began to sing a song and Equestria's mane 6 became the backup dancers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWoA91t-HIs
The party went on well into the evening and I enjoyed everything about it. I was grabbed by earth's Pinkie Pie who had showed me variety of things that was organised for today like a miniature roller coaster a massive balloon of me which I knew came from Cheese Sandwich. I also saw spotlights that had my cutie mark on it and the same went with the lights I also saw Cheese Sandwich's cannon was firing ponies into a massive punch bowl willed with...well punch. But, I decided to stay away from that for so many reasons and I also saw a massive ice sculpture of my cutie mark.
I then saw Cheese was balancing plates on a massive wheel of rolling cheese and I saw a massive pizza that would be twice my size which brought up the question how could they cook such a thing of that size. I also saw a piñata in the shape of my cutie mark and I saw a roller blade derby along with an ice rink probably made with the help of Snowdrop. But to put it all in short this party was epically off the hook.
I then decided to do some roller blading I got both Rainbow Dashes to follow and we both put on some roller blades which wasn't a problem for earth Rainbow cause the skates were shaped the same way as human skates to help support ponies. I then lined up with the two speedsters and we were off in a flash I was easily beating both Rainbows and those two were neck and neck with each other. I skated close to the edge and held out my hand slapping the hands of spectators as I passed. After a few laps and I crossed the finish line I skidded to a stop and heard the crowd applaud me while my opponents finally passed almost out of breath.
"Better luck next time you two," I said I rolled passed them.
I then saw Luna skating on the ice so I decided to go and join her I walked over to the ice rink and put on some ice skates and gently and gracefully skated my way over to Luna and watched her skate like a ballerina with her eyes closed. I then skated up behind her and gently grasped her outstretched hand and placed a hand on her waist causing Luna to almost stumble over in surprise. But, I held her carefully and when she saw me she smiled I then spun Luna around so she was facing me and we just circled the rink like we were ballroom dancing. I then let go of Luna and began to skate backwards with my hands behind my back all the way around the rink and Luna just folded her arms under her bust and gave me a smile
I continued this until I overlapped Luna and gave her a quick peck on her cheek and matched Luna's speed till I then heard the sound of someone stumble on the ice. I looked and saw it was Ruby and she appeared to be struggling to skate. I gave Luna a one moment gesture before I skated over to Ruby and helped her up.
"First time skating kiddo?" I asked.
"Um yeah," Ruby admitted sheepishly.
"Okay its easy just use your favoured leg to push forward while you use your other leg to steer where you want to go before you switch," I said as I propelled myself forward a bit before I stopped. "Now you try."
Ruby did as instructed and moved forward a bit before she smiled and began to skate with me I congratulated the ghost foal and watched her stick her tongue out in concentration before she started taking big pushes. As we skated I asked her how things have been and was glad to hear she and Mitta have been doing well and once we finished our talk I skated back over to Luna to enjoy more skating with her and after that we had cake and enjoyed more partying till it was time to go.
All my friends from earth left back to their world and Daring Do, Fancy Pants and his family along with Snowdrop left while the rest of us walked back to my place. When we went inside my friends led me into the family room where the CMC, Akachi and Ruby handed me a large card that reminded me of the heart they made for Ms Cheerilee on Hearts and Hooves day. I opened it up and had a look to see it was filled with glitter and a massive kids drawing of me in my armour and roses by my feet.
To Ash Blade
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE HERO OF EQUESTRIA
From
The class at Ponyville Elementary, Miss Cheerilee, Ruby and Akachi
"Oh ain't that cute," Rage said as he looked over my shoulder.
I then crouched down and put the card on the side before I opened my arms for hug but the five foals and ghost filly charged at me and knocked me onto my back. But that didn't stop me from hugging them all and when the foals had finished trying to hug the life out of me the others gave me their gifts. Caramel told me that his decision wasn't easy cause I was a guy who had everything he needed and I couldn't agree more with him. None the less his gift was spectacular as was every other gift from the others.
"Hey Ash it's time for you to open Octy's and my gift," Vinyl said.
"Alright let's see what you've got for me?" I said.
The two mares then gestured for me to follow them which I did and they led me to the entertainment room. And when we arrived I saw not much had changed except for the karaoke machine and two large speakers at the back which had a ribbon attached to it along with a card from Octavia and Vinyl.
"We figured this room could use something to spruce it up a bit and what's better than karaoke?" Vinyl asked.
"Wow you two I was actually looking for something for this room but you just answered that problem," I said.
"The machine works with your IPod so you can sing to any song you wish," Octavia said.
"Oh can we try please," the foals all begged,
"Now hold on you lot this here is Ash's gift so he shoul-," Applejack started before I stopped her.
"AJ it's a karaoke machine you're its kinda supposed to be used in a group besides I think these guys should have a turn before bed," I said.
The foals cheered before I led them all on stage and set up the machine the foals then agreed that it would be fillies and colts in two teams. We then then did a coin toss and the fillies went first and once all the girls had a mic and were ready I found a song and pressed play.
The fillies sang beautifully especially with how Sweetie Belle was lead singer and Apple Bloom and Scootaloo were backup singers. I could tell their siblings were very proud if the tears were any indication the fillies then walked off stage and the colts Rumble and Pip took their place before I pressed play for another song.
Everyone let out an applause for the performance and whistles and Luna came up and hugged Pip while Thunderlane fist bumped his brother. And with that was done Mitta took the foals bed.
"Oh, oh my turn my turn," Pinkie said after she appeared behind me.
"You want to sing Pinkie?" I asked causing her to nod so I gave a shrug handed her a mic and scrolled through the songs and found the perfect song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wel2Xb1uYvg
Pinkie seemed to be having an absolute blast as she danced and sang to the song I just smiled and when Pinkie ended the song with a wink aimed at Pierce I swear he was about to pass out. The next pony to step up to the plate was Vinyl and I knew the perfect song for this party mare and as she prepped herself I looked for the song and when I found it I waited for Vinyl to give me the okay before I hit play.
I figured this song suited Vinyl well cause she normally has her headphones in and she once told me that when that happens it's like a party is going on inside her head. The next one to come up and sing was Spitfire I thought about what to do for her but then a song came up and I found it easily.
I figured the song would be perfect for her for too many reasons and she also seemed to think so as well cause of how she sang. And when she finished she gave me a fist bump and I heard a teleportation spell go off behind me and I saw Discord. I gave him a mic and scowled through some songs and decided to see what Discord could do with rock music.
Surprisingly Discord really knew how to rock out and after the song ended it was clear the audience agreed. Spike then came up asked for a song he can sing to Nocturnal which I nodded to him before I picked a song.
After the song I could see the mares were impressed but none more so then Nocturnal and Twilight and the next one to come up and to my total surprise was Gilda knowing her I would have thought she would not take part in this.
"Hey Ash mind if I try?" Gilda asked.
"Uh...yeah sure," I said.
"Cool just make sure it's not mushy or anything kay," Gilda said.
Giving a nod I went back over to my IPod and searched for a song for Gilda and found one that was absolutely perfect.
I saw Gilda was having an absolute blast with that song and got every note right and when she finished she gave me a fist bump at my choice and the next one to come up was Faust. I was a little surprised to see her and Faust seemed to want to pick out her own song out so I didn't stop her and once she did I looked at the song and raised an eyebrow at it but shrugged it off before I pressed play.
After Faust finished everyone applauded her cause of how well she did and I would admit that song fitted her to a T. When Faust stepped down Twilight stepped up and I selected a song for her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfrW_wjcXlQ
After Twilight came Rarity and I had the perfect song for her considering her special talent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbT0i07CiyM
After Rarity finished I saw Rainbow come up and before she could make her request I stopped here and told her that I already had her covered and once she was ready I pressed play.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH6atHxFCtE
When Rainbow finished in rock star pose after doing an air guitar I couldn't help but laugh at how well that song fitted her. When Rainbow came over to me she gave me a fist pump and fist bump I then looked to see who was next and saw Celestia stepping up. She gave me a smile and grabbed a mic while I went to work on finding a song and when I found one I pressed play.
I figured this song was a pretty good one for Celestia because it shows after every tough decision in her life she came back stronger. And when she finished and the others applauded her she walked over to me and gave me a hug which I returned I then looked at the next customer and saw Applejack was up
"Hey Ash can ya'll play a song that could get a message to Caramel telling him my love is not something to mess with," Applejack said.
"Has something happened?" I asked.
"Well ah noticed he was looking at a few mares at you're party," Applejack said.
"Ok I think I have just the song for you AJ and if something is going on with Caramel well I can assure you it won't be happening for much longer," I said as I patted Applejack's shoulder before I gave her a gentle push onto the stage before I went to play the song I had in mind for her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8HWEa4i9zc
After Applejack tipped her Stetson to me and I just smiled before I saw Fluttershy nervously make her way up to us. I gave the Pegasus a few comforting words before she accepted the mic I offered her and walked out on stage I then scrolled through the songs and found one that suited Fluttershy well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY9S5a2_W-A
Words wouldn't no could not even begin to describe what everyone just heard Fluttershy's voice was so beautiful with that song it even left Gilda speechless. The room was stuck in dead silence and Fluttershy was looking nervous I then started clapping and the rest followed in an uproar and Fluttershy blushed before she walked off stage. Suddenly, Eris appeared behind me causing me to jump a little.
"Oops did I scare you?" Eris asked in a teasing tone.
"Ha, ha amusing Eris I presume you want to have a turn?" I asked.
"Bingo I don't suppose you have one that matches me do you?" Eris asked.
"Definitely just step on stage and I'll get the song ready," I said.
Eris then grabbed the mic and stepped on stage while I scrolled for and found the song I had in mind.
I smiled at how well the song suited Eris's personality and when she finished she flew at me and coiled around me in a death hug.
"Ugh...I...take it ow you liked...the song," I said as Eris started to squeeze the air out of me.
"More then you know," Eris said as her grip tightened.
"Hey babe can you let my brother go he needs air."
Eris then released me and I saw it was Rage Eris then kissed Rage before she left and Rage helped me with my breathing.
"You alright?" Rage asked.
"Yeah but damn you're girl has got the powers of a 15ft anaconda," I said.
"Yeah but she only does that when she's extremely happy but do you have a song for me?" Rage asked.
"I believe I've got something," I said with a smile before I walked back over to the machine and scrolled through the songs till I found one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqbDRvl59jw
Rage seemed to be liking the song because of how well he was singing it and when he was done everyone applauded him. He then gave me a hug before he left and when he left I saw Chrysalis step on stage and I knew of a good song for her.
Chrysalis's voice seemed to match the song perfectly it was like she was the artist herself and if the applause from everyone was any indication they loved it. I then turned to see Cadence was up next
"A song for the princess of love to sing oh wow that's gonna be a synch I can already think of two," I said.
"Mind if I have a look at them?" Cadence asked.
I gave a nod before I showed her the two songs and let her pick the one she wanted and once she was ready I pressed play.
I gave Cadence a smirk and watched as she danced and sang and the others were loving it and after her performance I saw Dream Catcher step on stage and I played a song for her.
At first I had my doubts about this song for Dream Catcher but in the end she didn't seem to mind it and sang it with amazing passion. And when she finished the next pony I saw to step up was Mitta and I knew the perfect song for her.
The song seemed perfect for Mitta because she was letting go of her past and starting a new life and that made this song perfect for her. I then felt a tear in my eye as she sang cause seeing her like this made me proud of myself knowing I was able to help someone in that situation. When Mitta stepped of stage she gave me a hug and I then saw Luna step up.
"That was quite a song you picked for her," Luna said.
"I figured it would good one for her thank you for noticing," I said.
"Well I hope you know me as well if not better then I know you," Luna said.
"You leave the song picking to me and all you need to do is sing the lyrics and have fun," I said.
As Luna turned to walk away I tapped Luna on the butt earing a surprised squeak and seductive smile from the mare and when I turned around I saw a tri coloured object disappear from my view behind a curtain. But, I ignored it before I went to select a song only for my IPod to zap me and automatically play a song. And when I saw the song and magic residue I knew this was Cadence's doing and she rigged that I can't change anything till after the song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBVyqK2IW_g
When the song finished we were all as spellbound from when Fluttershy sang the way Luna sang every note unto itself was a must see sceptical. Once the song was over Luna came up to me and woke me from my trance with a full on kiss and when I regained my senses I kissed her back till we broke for air.
"That song was amazing but why did you pick it?" Luna asked.
"Well to be honest I didn't had a certain pink alicorn come back here and rig the machine," I said.
"I see well I must leave the birthday boy to his task while I have a certain mare to thank then kill," Luna said as she turned away and used her tail as a whip to hit my butt.
When Luna left I saw the mane 6's stallions come up along with Shining Armour.
"Hey Ash we were each wanting to sing a separate song for our marefriends," Comet said.
"And we were wondering if you could help," Thunderlane said.
"Sure Caramel you're up first," I said.
"Wha but why should I go first," Caramel asked.
"Caramel remember the song Applejack sung?' I asked.
"Yeah but what's this have to do with anything?" Caramel asked.
"Oh Faust you're an idiot," Comet said with a face palm.
"Caramel that song Applejack sang was directed at you cause she saw you staring at a few mares at the party so is there something you want to tell us?" I asked.
"What that's not true the only reason I was staring at those mares is because they looked familiar to me and I was trying to figure out where I've seen them before that's it," Caramel said.
I stared into Caramels eyes and saw only truth before I gave a warm smile and patted Caramel on the shoulder.
"Ok Caramel I believe you now let's go fix this mess up and I have the perfect song to help do that," I said.
"Ash you're a life saver," Caramel said before he walked on stage and I began to play a song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVynfYN4PA4
I figured this song would be perfect for Caramel to sing because it tells of how he and AJ first met and the way Caramel sang the song any doubts that Applejack had about him were wiped away if the expression on her face was anything to go by. Once Caramel finished I gestured for Soarin to go up before I played another song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ejAMB3g_b8
I figured this song would be best because it wasn't sappy and Soarin once told me that when he first saw Rainbow he felt paralysed with awe and if Rainbow was nodding her head to the beat which she was it was a clear sing she was also enjoying the song. After it finished Shining went on and I could see Cadence was anxious to hear a song from him but I decided to play a song that will both give Cadence a message about how he feels about her along with a little revenge from me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4Z3gtfDUuU
I nodded my head along with the beat and I could see Cadence had a blush on her face but from what I couldn't tell. But, once the song ended everyone cheered and when Luna saw me I gave a simple smirk and this caused Luna to giggle behind her hand. Shining then walked off stage and gave me a fist bump before I got Comet to go next. But, he took a few deep breaths before he walked out and played a song for him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NAjkZbuyGM
Comet sang the song well and I saw Twilight's face was scarlet and when it ended Comet said thanks to me and Shining caught Comet's hand with his in a brotherly fashion. I then got Pierce to go next and I knew the perfect song for him to sing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVxueuInLiQ
Pierce totally stepped out of his comfort zone with this song but didn't seem to care and this song suited Pinkie tremendously and when it finished Pinkie had gone from her seat into Pierce's arms all in one massive leap and peppered his face in kisses. I then helped Pierce out with getting Pinkie off him and helping back over to the side of the stage while Pinkie took her seat. And when I set Pierce down he had a goofy grin plastered on his face before I sent Thunderlane onto the stage and picked a song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a9FmTWxN3g
I figured Thunderlane should sing this because of how his entire self was changed when he and Rarity got together and I can't remember a moment when those two weren't apart since then. I saw Rarity was absolutely speechless when she heard Thunder sing and once the song ended the last one to step on stage was Mac. It took a little encouragement but he walked on stage and I played a song that will help him out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1yJtr6OZ5c
I gave Mac a warm smile and watched him sing the song matched his voice perfectly along with the way he feels about Flutters and when it finished I didn't even see it happen. But, Fluttershy hand launched herself at Mac and was on his lips like a vampire fruit bat on an apple. Everyone was clearly surprised but how forward Fluttershy was with Mac but no one was complaining. When the two broke the kiss Fluttershy noticed where she was before she let out an eep shriek before she hid behind Mac which was adorable.
Mac helped Fluttershy off stage and when I was about to turn off the machine I was pushed onto the stage and I saw Rage and the other males were smirking at me. Mac then tossed me the mic making me understand what was happening and so I gave in and watched Rage pick a song and when I heard the beginning I shot the guys a glare before I took a breath and began to sing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaKr98ktoxU
When the song finished I looked at the others and saw their faces were in blank along with the guys. I then saw Luna fly on stage and stare at me while I got a worried feeling but that feeling vanished when Luna grabbed me and passionately kissed me. The way she kissed me was like I haven't kissed her in ten lifetimes and the only thought that I could feel in my mind was best birthday ever.
