inFAMOUS Displaced
Chapter 6
Summon Sora

I held up the keychain to my eye level. “Okay buddy, let’s see if this works,” I said before I raised it above my head and called out, ‘SORA! I call for thy aid!’

A flash of light filled the room, vanishing as quickly as it had come and leaving a brown haired young man looking around. “Wow, this place is a dump.” He looked over to me and extended his hand. “You must be the one who called. Sora, Warrior of Light. Nice to meet you.”

I waved his hand away. “Delsin Rowe, Equestrian Eagle, love to stand and chat, but I need to knock somepony’s head around and being trapped in stone for a thousand years doesn't help,” I said in almost one breath.

“Ah.” Sora crossed his arms and nodded sagely. “A thousand years can be tiring for those not used to it. Here let me help.” Another flash of light caused a keyblade to appear in his right hand, one whose teeth looked like some sort of green hourglass. He pointed the blade at me, muttering “A basic Cure should do. No need to waste power when you just need an energy boost.” Green energy surrounded me, and the weakness in my body was washed away. “So, who are we knocking around? Just got done herding a swarm of Berry Bubble clones, so I think I’m ready for just about anything.”

“A Nightmare,” I said as I stretched again, testing my regained flexibility. “And not the Dream Eater type.” I allowed smoke to cover my arms as I moved to find my way to the tower. “And by the way, who's Berry Bubble?”

“You might know him as a mare named Pinkie Pie,” said Sora. “So, what exactly do you mean by, ‘a nightmare’? I might be able to fight it better if I know what we’re up against.”

“Celestia and Screwball never really gave me all the details,” I said.

“Celestia again, huh?” muttered Sora. “I’m starting to think that that’s the norm. He’s Prince Solaris in my world.”

“Interesting detail,” I mutter, “Could you get a smoky fire started? I feel a bit empty.”

Sora raised a questioning eyebrow before shrugging and ripping some vines off the wall as they passed. He grabbed a plank of wood, wrapping the vines around one end. “Fire.” With a point of his keyblade and a word, the end of the makeshift torch burst into flame, giving off a stream of black smoke. “This should burn for a good bit,” he said, holding out the makeshift torch. “Not sure what you need the smoke for, though.”

“Observe,” I extended my hand towards the torch, but didn’t take it. Taking a deep breath, the smoke began to flow from the torch to my hand. I then began to feel a bit more energized. Looking to Sora’s questioning face, I tossed a Sulfur bomb at his feet. After it went off, Sora began coughing uncontrollably for a minute before I reabsorbed the smoke.

“Okay,” said Sora, coughing a few more times. “Just got finished with a gun happy Venom, so that isn’t the strangest power I’ve ever seen. Hope you know how to use it in a fight.”

‘I fought in a war with that power,’ I projected into his mind.

Sora glared at me, pointing his blade at my feet. “Blizzard.” I found myself falling flat on my face as my feet were engulfed in a block of ice. “Only one being is allowed in my mind,” Sora said, kneeling down next to my head. “And you aren’t her. Got it?”

I freed myself with a Smoke Dash, knocking Sora down in the process. I then commanded some smoke to hold him down. “FYI: my telepathic abilities can only do communication and surface emotion reading. If I was to invade your mind, I would need to have my hand to your head.”

“Don’t care,” he said, not even bothering to struggle. “Last time I got involved with an empath, it ended badly. Very badly. I’d prefer to keep my mind and my emotions to myself.” Blue spikes burst out from Sora’s body, severing the smoky binds before retreating back through gaps in Sora’s clothes. He blinked and looked down at his chest in shock. “Okay. Maybe hosting an empath isn’t so bad, but only because I know he’s entirely on my side. Thanks, Rave.”

“I’m not going to question your distaste for mind games,” I said, glancing out the window towards the tower the ponies went to. ‘But if we are to survive the fight against the Nightmare, we’re gonna need it. Got it?’

“Fine, fine. But I’ll stick with talking, myself. I only go mind to mind with those that I sleep with, and you’re not my type.” Sora followed my gaze, staring out towards the tower. “Huh. Getting a weird sense of deja vu. Where did you say we were again?”

“First off, I didn’t say,” I said in exasperation, “Second off…”

‘The Elements have appeared!’

“The Elements have...KARMA!!!” I fired off a Cinder Missile in the bird’s direction, barely missing her.

‘Are you going to get up there and watch or keep playing down here?’

I couldn’t properly respond to that. I quietly projected to Sora, ‘That bird sometimes. She’s only five hundred years old and she’s already acting like a b****.’

Sora shook his head, chuckling to himself. “Ah, a master and his familiar. Truly a wonderful relationship.” He turned his attention to Karma. “You mentioned the Elements appearing. Strange. In my world they were lost until the new Bearers found them to fight…” Sora trailed off, eyes widening in horror. “...Nightmare...”

He took off, running down the hallway and around the corner out of sight. I took off after him after I noticed he was gone, with Karma flying close behind me. I managed to catch up with Sora and looked past him into the room. There, the Elements were placed on the ponies as I had seen in my vision. As the Elements were about to fire off, a blast of shadow knocked the Akomish unicorn out of place, causing the Element’s magic to fizzle out.

“You foals,” The Nightmare cackled. “You thought you could defeat me as I hold this power!” Shadow began to flow around her hooves.

As she began to charge an attack, I exclaimed, ‘Holy Crap! She’s a Conduit!’

The shadow burst forth, streaming towards the Elements in a series of spikes.

“REFLEGA!”

A barrier of light burst into being around the Elements, deflecting the spikes of shadow and sending them curving back to strike the dark alicorn who had summoned them. Sora stood before the Elements, keyblade pointed forward and a cyan shield on his arm. ‘I’ll guard the Elements while they get ready.’ I nearly jumped, hearing Sora’s voice in my mind. ‘Nothing will get past me. As for that twisted, parasitic mockery over there…’ Sora’s shield lowered enough for me to see the loathing burning in his eyes. ‘Delsin. Take it down!’

I Smoke Dashed forward and delivered a flying kick to Nightmare’s face. ‘Give me support as I do it. If she tries to blindside me, or I run low on ammo, do your magic.’ I unraveled the chain on my wrist and waited for Nightmare Moon to rise, having learned a few things about respect for one’s opponent in a fight.

She rose up and looked at me. “Delsin Rowe, The Equestrian Demon,” she said with venom in her voice. “I has been too long.”

I swung my chain at her, catching her in the face and knocking her down. “Perhaps not long enough.” I Smoke Dashed forward and restrained her to the ground. “Now, what happened to Luna!”

Nightmare dissolved into shadow and reappeared a few feet away in front of me. “They are safe. Locked away from sight and sound.” Shadow flowed from her hooves, and a variety of clones appeared surrounding me. I Smoke Dashed out of the circle and began to fire off as many Smoke Shots and Cinder Blasts as I could to clear the clones out.

“Fira!” A circle of fire appeared in the middle of the remaining clones and rapidly expanded, striking them down and engulfing the real Nightmare as well. She screamed in pain as the air was filled with the smell of burned feathers and singed fur. “Aeroga! Magnera!” A whirlwind appeared around me as a yellow aura surrounded Nightmare. ‘That cyclone should deflect all projectiles. The spell on the abomination will make any projectiles curve in to strike her.’ “Fire!” A ball of fire was launched from Sora’s keyblade. It was off target, aimed to hit somewhere to Nightmare’s left, but it curved around in midair to strike her in the chest, blowing her back.

‘Good shot!’ I said as I Smoke Dashed forward towards Nightmare. I dropped a Sulfur Bomb at her hooves, and Smoke Dashed away. The Bomb went off and Nightmare Moon began coughing. ‘Any chance for a spell to launch me into the air?’

Sora smirked. ‘You asked for it.’ He pointed his keyblade at my feet. “Firaga!”

An explosion went off at my feet, launching me into the air. Forgetting to curse, I wrapped my chain around my hand and superheated it. As I came down, my arm was engulfed in fire and smoke. I arrived at the ground a few feet from Nightmare and slammed my fiery arm into the ground, causing a smoky shockwave that knocked Nightmare to the center of the room.

‘Hey, Sora!’ I shouted out. ‘Got a Limit up your sleeve?’

Sora cocked his head to one side. ‘You know, I’ve never tried. I guess it makes sense that I would be able to, though. Let’s try it out!’ His keyblade began to glow, the light spreading to cover his whole body. “Oh yea,” he said, grinning. “This is going to be good.” I felt a warmth spreading out from my chest and found myself wrapped in a similar glow.

I tossed an end of my chain to Sora for him to catch. He caught the end and I pulled hard on the chain and began to flail him around, hitting the Nightmare several times before slamming him feet first on the ground, causing a shockwave of light knocking her aside. Sora then let go of the chain and began a series of rapid strikes and slashes with his keyblade. He jumped aside briefly, allowing me to lob a series of explosive fireballs. Both seemed to take their toll on her.

We repeated our attacks for a few minutes before we stopped. I ran towards Sora and leapt into the air, landing on the tip of his blade. He used his keyblade to launch me into the air. I smiled as I flew up above Nightmare Moon. I turned myself upside down and activated my Smoke Thrusters to speed my decent. Sora turned his keyblade on me and I felt as if gravity increased, but I was focused on one thing...where I was going to land.

I soon met the ground, mere inches from Nightmare Moon. With an explosion of smoke and ash, Nightmare Moon landed right in front of the assembled mares, all who had their Elements charged. As I reformed from my Smoke attack, I heard Nightmare Moon mutter something in a younger, more softer voice.

“I just wanted the night to be loved.” The statement itself didn’t shock me. It was the fact that the voice didn’t sound like Luna OR Nightmare Moon. The Elements then launched their attack towards her. Remembering my vision, I ran forward and latch my hands to her skull mere seconds before the attack hit. My mind then entered her mind.

My vision was engulfed in a strange landscape. Looking around, I found that I looked like the surface of the moon. But I also saw something rather strange. I saw two Nightmare Moons, one with a crescent moon cutie mark, the other with a star. If this was the Nightmare’s mind, then I concluded that those two seemed to be fighting for dominance.

I looked around further and I saw Equus in all it’s glory. I saw a rainbow beam come towards the moon. I looked back at the quarreling Nightmares and made a split-second decision. I ran towards them and separated them from each other just as the rainbow beam struck the moon.

Back in the real world, The Elements’ beam struck us, blasting me into Sora and through a wall in the process. I couldn’t see past the bright amount of light that came from what the Elements were doing. After a moment, the light dimmed and the Element bearers were on the floor where they fired the magic from, and they were all unconscious. One thing I notice about them was their arms. They had strange auras around them.

“Always a wall,” Sora muttered from beneath me. “Never a door or a window. Doors are soft and cushion the blow. Windows shatter, taking a lot of the force out. No. It’s always a buysomeapples wall.”

I “accidentally” elbowed him in the face. “Stop complaining. I’ve suffered love while I was in stone. The agony of loving somepony as they are aware I’m alive and in stone and me not being sure if they decide to wait for you.”

Sora shoved me off and gave me a glare that could melt stone. “Fell in love with Luna and she with me. She and Solaris, who I love like a brother, found me while I was in shadow form. They thought I was a heartless who had killed me and used the Elements to seal me in stone. I didn’t even get telepathy. They thought I was dead, and I couldn’t tell them otherwise. Then Luna’s grief among other things turned her into a heartless, and Solaris had to banish his sister for a thousand years. I, meanwhile, am down in the dungeons wondering if I’ll ever get out of there and don’t find out about Nightmare Moon until I’m released. Once I find out, I assume that she was destroyed. So yeah, you don’t get to talk to me about heartache.” He stood up, stretching his back. “Besides, once you’re three thousand you get to complain about things like this.”

Ignoring his come back, I stepped forward towards the Element Bearers and examined their arms more closely. I backed up a bit after I realized something, ‘Crumb Cakes and Icing! The Elements acted like a non-destructive Ray Sphere! They’re now Conduits!’

‘Interesting. Would probably be even more interesting if I knew what conduits were. Also…’ My mind was instantly filled with the image of a wrinkled old green earth pony in a bathtub.

“Gah!” I shouted, trying to wipe the image from my mind. “What the heck?”

Sora shrugged. “Fight’s done, and so is the telepathy. I’ve got plenty more scaring images where that one came from, so stay out.”

“Take a look at their arms,” I state as I pointed out Twilight’s arms, covered in purple electricity.

“Interesting,” he said, looking closely. He stared at Twilight’s arms for several moments before looking back up at me. “What am I looking at, exactly?”

“Are you serious? Have you ever even heard of inFAMOUS?”

“Eenope.”

“Long story short, it involves people that have a particular gene that allows an individual to control a form of matter or energy,” I said. I then pointed to each of the Bearers. “Twilight can now control electricity. Skittles can control clouds. Prissy can control gems. Pink hair, flowers. Cowgirl, wood. Sugar Rush controls...confetti?...streamers?...wrapping paper?”

“It’s Berry, I mean Pinkie Pie. Don’t question it. It’s probably parties. So, basically they all became superheros?”

“Yes and no,” I said, and began to explain further. “Karma, the aspect, not the bird, plays a huge part in this. In the inFAMOUS game series, Cole MacGrath and THAT Delsin Rowe are governed by that aspect. The more good karma they have, the more focused they are on other’s welfare rather their own and vice versa. It also affects how the people of Empire City, New Marais, and Seattle see them. They could easily be heroes or Infamous villains.”

Sora looked over the girls again and turned back to me, raising an eyebrow. “Like I said, superheros. I don’t see any of them going villain. Trust me, I’ve met their equivalents a couple of years down the line. They aren’t going villain any time soon unless being all mares instead of three mares and three stallions changes something.”

“The antagonist of the first game, Kessler, was a future version of Cole MacGrath,” I explained. “Although, Kessler’s purpose was actually to shape Cole into the hero he never was.”

“I see. No, wait,” he closed his eyes, opening them to reveal twin orbs of light. He looked over the girls again, smiling. “Now I see. There is darkness in every heart, I won’t deny that. But these are still six of the purest hearts I’ve ever seen.” He turned those freaky glowing eyes to me and stared at me for a moment. “You’re pretty clean, too. But… there’s something there. Not darkness, but potential. Potential for either great darkness or great light.” He shrugged. “Or an even balance.” He then looked behind me. “Eeyup, the Elements did their thing. No darkness in…” His eyes blinked back to normal. “...either of them?”

I turned around and saw what he saw. One was Luna, almost as I remembered her. The other was another alicorn. She was a midnight blue color, deeper in color than Luna was and her mane was pitch black with white highlight patches. She looked younger than Luna and her cutie mark was that of a star. A name sprung to my mind as I looked her up and down. Stella.

I heard the Element Bearers stirring from their unconsciousness. “Oh, my head,” the pony, codenamed Skittles, said.

“Is everypony okay?” Cowgirl asked.

I walked forward to the group. “Thanks to us, you are.”

The Akomish unicorn stood up and asked, “Who are you?”

“I’m Delsin Rowe, Founder of the Akomish, and the Equestrian Eagle.” I point to Sora. “And the keyblade guy over there is Sora, The Warrior of Light. What are your names?”

“I’m Twilight Sparkle, and these are all my friends.” She then pointed to each of her friends. “There’s Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash.”

Sora snorted. “‘Rarity’. Should have guessed. Well, it’s good to see that all of you are alright. Nice jewelry, by the way.”

The Element Bearers looked at their new accessories, finding the Elements on golden necklaces, except for Twilight, who’s Element was attached to a tiara.

“Y’know, Twilight, I thought you were just spouting a whole lot of hooey,” Applejack said. “But I reckon, we do represent the Elements of Friendship.”

“Indeed you do!” We all heard from one side of the room. In a flash of light as brilliant as the sunrise, Princess Celestia appeared in all her glory. Everypony bowed down, except for Twilight and I. She trotted forward to greet her mentor. I could only stand there with tears in my eyes as I watched teacher and student greet each other like mother and daughter. Celestia then noticed me and walked over.

“Tia,” I barely choked out.

“Del,” she choked out before she rushed to me and hugged me for all it was worth. “Is my sister back?”

“That and more,” I said, pointing to the younger of the two night alicorns. “You have a new sister.”

“And she’s so cute!” Sora rushed over, picking up the midnight alicorn and swinging her around, startling her and Luna awake in the process. “Just look at her. She’s the cutest little alicorn I’ve ever seen. Sorry Luna, not even you in that sexy maid uniform compares to the shear levels of adorableness right here.”

Luna, who had also been awakened by Sora’s shout, blushed furiously. “Wh- what?”

“So cute! Hey,” Sora held the alicorn out at arm’s length, looking into her slightly fearful eyes. “What’s your name?”

“Um, uh, S-Stella.”

“...she stuttered. She stuttered! Oh my gosh, you just keep getting more and more adorable! Cute little Stella. Oh, I can’t wait to tell my Luna about you, you cute little star butt.” He looked over to see Celestia staring at him, along with the others. “Oh yeah. Hey there, sun butt. So this is what you look like as a mare. This is going to be weird once I go back home and tell Prince Solaris about you. Hey, could I get a photo of you to take back with me to show him?”

Everyone turned to stare at Celestia who just kept opening and closing her mouth, trying to think of something to say.

“You know,” piped up Luna, speaking for the first time, “I can sort of see it.”

While everypony else was focused on the now blushing Celestia, Sora leaned down to whisper in Stella’s ear, just loud enough for me to catch it. “Sorry for doing this so suddenly. You’re basically Nightmare Moon given form, and I wanted to dispel any lingering fears and doubts that might have formed.”

Stella looked up at him, the fear leaving her eyes a bit as she processed what he said. “Um, thank you, I guess. Does that mean you can let me down now?”

“Nope,” Sora replied, hugging her all the tighter. “What I said still applies. You’re still too yaying adorable for words.”

“Dude! I can understand you liking her enough to hug her like that, but put her down now!” I reach over and grabbed one of his arms. As soon as I grabbed, my arm and the arm I grabbed was engulfed in light and I blacked out.

“They’ve broken through the main gate! They’ll be here any second!”

I looked at the green pegasus with the white and teal mane. “Yay it all. Where’s Smart Cookie?”

The pegasus saluted. “Sir! She stayed behind to hold them off. to give us time to get to her.”

“SHE WHAT?” I ran out the door that Private Pansy had just entered through, turning down corridors and leaping down flights of stairs, Pansy and Clover following right behind. We turned a final corner just in time to see a light orange earth pony get over-run by a veritable wall of shadow. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

“Oh Luna no,” whispered Clover, sinking to the ground. “No, not Cookie.”

A flash of light revealed a wicked looking keyblade in Pansey’s hoof. “DIE!” she screamed, leaping into the fray. “DIE YOU MISERABLE MOCKERIES OF LIFE!”

“NO!” I rushed forward, summoning Oathkeeper and Oblivion. “Pansy, don't! You can't fight them all! We need to get back!” I hacked and slashed, but for every heartless I destroyed, three more popped up between me and Pansy.

“It should have been safe here.” I looked back to see Clover just sitting there, staring at the endless sea of black. “My wards were perfect. It should have been safe.”

“Clover, get up!” I shouted. “We need to get going. Pans-” I turned just in time to see five invisibles sink their blades into her flesh. “PANSY!!!”

“Ahh-” Her cry was choked off as a final blade found its way through her throat.

I tore my eyes away, desperate to save at least one of them. “Clover! Come on! We need to move!”

“Both gone now,” she whispered, curled up on the floor. “Cookie gone. Pansy gone. All gone into darkness. All because we stayed. All because we let them find us.”

“No.” I stumbled under the onslaught, barely able to deflect the incoming blows, much less destroy the heartless between me and Clover. “No, it can't be that. It's not…” Did I do this? Did I lead them to their deaths? All because I wanted somewhere to rest my head for more than a month at a time? I looked up from my thoughts to see an invisible floating over to Clover, sword raised. “No! No! Clover! Get up! Run! Ru-” The sword came down. Clover didn’t even scream as her head was severed from her shoulders. “no... Oh Tartarus, no! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

Light exploded all around me, filling the air with keyblades. I grabbed Pansy’s Reaper and my own Ultima and began to slash viciously, the storm of keyblades swirling around and destroying everything they touched. Heartless were slaughtered, and I didn’t stop. Walls crumbled, and I didn’t stop. The ceiling and three floors of fortress fell towards me, and my keyblades just kept on slashing.

Finally, after hours of mindless lashing out, it was over. I knelt in a crater, surrounded only by fading wisps of darkness as I clutched three keychains close to my heart, three cracked keychains depicting the cutie marks of the best friends I had ever known. I knelt there, alone in that crater, and wept like a child.

I stirred from my unconsciousness and looked over to where Sora had collapsed. He was also starting to stir from his unconsciousness. I rolled over, onto my hands and knees, preparing to stand up.

Sora slowly got to his feet, brushing himself off and looking away. “You saw that, didn’t you?”

“Not on purpose, if that’s what you’re asking.” I respond. “I understand your distaste for mind reading, but-”

Sora turned, cutting me off with a blow to the face. I was sent flying back until I slammed into a wall. I looked up to see him standing there, arm still outstretched and breathing heavily. “You’re right,” he said, lowering his arm and turning away again. “You do understand now. After all, you saw it.” He spread his arms, as if showing off to an audience. “Sora, the Warrior of Light, at his finest and most powerful when not a force in the world could stop him!” His arms dropped to his side, and he looked up to the ceiling. “And all of it bucking useless. All of it too late to save three of the best ponies I’ve ever met.” He dropped his head, sighing deeply. “Just give me your token and let me get out of here. I need to go cool my head.”

I walked forward and placed my hand on his shoulder. “Let me say a few things first.” I pulled back my head and slammed it into his, knocking him over. “That was for interrupting me. I wasn’t finished.” I sighed and rubbed my now sore head. “In inFAMOUS: Second Son, the protagonist, Delsin Rowe, has the ability to absorb the powers of other Conduits and use them as his own. A side effect to the absorption process is seeing a key memory of their life or hearing a monolog summary of a key portion of their life. If I had to guess anything, it made Delsin see an unbiased view of that conduit.” I pointed at him. “When you first arrived and acted all crazy at me about telepathy, I thought you were competing with Karma for the 'Twit-head of the Year' award.” I knelt down to his level. “After seeing that memory, I can see why you won’t allow intruders. You don’t want your facade to drop, exposing you at your weakest.” I looked at him. “But I tell you this, ‘Thy friends do stand by thee, and they shall hail thee again with warm hearts and friendly hooves. Thou art not yet as Job; thy friends do not contend against thee, neither charge thee with transgression, as they did Job. And they who do charge thee with transgression, their hope shall be blasted, and their prospects shall melt away as the hoar frost melteth before the burning rays of the rising sun.’”

All was quiet in the room for a time, until a single chuckle broke the silence. This chuckle was soon repeated by another. And another. Soon Sora was laughing outright, his cries filling the room and verging on maniacal. Eventually, he calmed down enough to speak. “You just don’t get it, do you.” He slowly got to his feet, a little unsteady as he stood. “You think I’m covering for something? That I put on a mask? Who the yay do you think you are? How long have you lived? How many friends have you seen be born, live and die before your eyes? I was a general in Equestria for over a thousand years. I’ve suffered many losses.” He clenched his hands into fists as they shook. “I’ve wept in Luna’s hooves more times than I can count. I’ve spared with Sol in full view of the guard just to get my aggression out. You think that that was the worst loss I’ve suffered? I’ve had to make calls on the battlefield that led to the loss of hundreds of lives. In terms of failure, this one was nothing. But you know what? IT SURE HURT LIKE TARTARUS!!!” Twin flashes lit the room, and Sora was left holding two deadly looking keyblades. The first had a long, thin, silver shaft that looked almost like a metal spine with red tendrils weaving together to form the handle, and 4 scythe blades on the end in the shape of key teeth. The other’s shaft was a deep, dark purple with black and green vines twining around it. The hilt was a light purple in another vine design, and the blade featured a wicked looking curve which was stained blood red. The keychain featured a cracked flower, and Delsin recognized it as Pansy’s keyblade.

“You see,” said Sora, “I don’t push that memory away because I’m weak or afraid or it. I push it away because IT MAKES ME ROYALLY PISSED OFF!!!” He turned and glared at me, his formerly blue eyes now glowing yellow. “I tell my keybladers that even we are not above corruption. That’s as true of me as it is of anyone, and you just found the one button that might send me over the edge if you push hard enough. So I want to get out of here before I do something that I’ll regret. I know it’s stupid to be angry. I know you had no control over it. I know I’ll forgive you and that we might even become friends once I have a chance to calm down. And right now I really couldn’t care less! So give me your token and let me get out of here before I DO TO YOU WHAT THOSE INVISIBLES DID TO PANSEY!!!”

I looked at him with an emotionless gaze as I telepathically spoke with Screwball. ‘Screwball, take two feathers from Karma, one red and one blue, and merge them together. That will be my token.’

‘And your message?’

‘I am Delsin Rowe, The Equestrian Eagle. Should you need aid, or someone to talk to or spar with, call me up.’ I held out my hand and an blue and red eagle feather appeared. I handed it over to Sora, but I left him with a few words.

“Three things to think about when you get home. First, there is a wedding in a few months and I’ll send you an invitation. As much of a twit you are, you’re a good guy. Second, don’t ever call my fiancé ‘Sunbutt’ ever, unless you want me to kick my foot in yours. Third, don’t beat yourself up over your mistakes. I’ve done some bad things myself. I’m not proud of them, but I don’t beat myself over the head because of them.”

Sora stuffed the token into his pocket, both keyblades still out. “Getting lectured by a brat,” he muttered. “Better get out of here before I really do it.” In a flash of light, he was gone. I turned to the assembled group, all of whom had shocked expressions.

“Celestia, take care of Stella, and get this group to the edge of the forest. I need to cool down.” I walked to one of the windows and leapt out of it, not caring if I got hurt or not. Unbeknownst to me, I glowed brightly again and the back of my vest changed to the Champion symbol.
