My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Of Ponies and Humans

Chapter 15

Hurry!

47 Days after Zero Hour

After receiving the letter from Cadence; Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Halo, Zilver, Shadow, Derpy, Requiem, Aura, Ash, Jax, Bahamut, Spike, and Sora left for the Gryphon Kingdom to find the Reversal Spell for the human-turned Ponies. What they don’t know is that this journey is going to be a lot tougher then it sounds.

They arrived in the kingdom with no trouble but are informed of a curfew in place due to the impending threat of a slave trade going on. They are to meet with the king tonight and find out where the reversal spell to this predicament is.

There, Dash had a very brief reunion with Gilda and met back up with her friends from her foalhood. Also, Twilight finds out she’s gonna be a aunt when Cadence reveals she’s pregnant… and was for 3 months prior to the Changeling’s botched invasion. Guess even Ponies can’t resist the call of the wild when it hits, huh?

Now, after many days of waiting and searching, the location of the Reversal Spell is about to be revealed, and with Trixie, Fluttershy, and Marble on their way, this is gonna get worse before it gets better.

Upon meeting with the king Zaltan, who’s very laidback for a ruler, and who‘s daughter who summoned them who turned out to be Gilda, informs them of a fortress Nightmare Moon had in the area during her uprising. Hopefully, there’s a reversal spell inside that can change them back. And soon cause it turns out this spell has a side-effect. In 50 days, the affected will die by a brain tumor. It’s been 48 days and Derpy’s starting to feel the effects.

They have no time to waste.

Derpy panted heavily and shivered as pain continued to engulf her body. She had been replaced from the throne room to a nearby hospital where they were trying to lessen the pain, but…

“oh, Derpy. What’s wrong with ya?” a worried Whooves asked.

“do whatever you can for her, doctor. King’s orders.” Armor said, producing a note. The doc nodded and flew off. Armor looked inside to Whooves and walked on “don’t worry. This place has the best care in the city. She’ll be fine.”

“will she?” Whooves hopefully asked.

Armor didn’t want to make guaranties. He knows that things can go south in a second. “at the very least… we can make her comfortable.” Armor walked out of the room, leaving the relatives behind.

He walked into the waiting area where Cadence, Vinyl, Octavia, and Gilda were waiting. Gilda was dragged by her father to come so she just stood in a corner.

“well? How is she?” a worried Cadence asked.

“Don’t know. She’s still in pain. They’re doing everything they can to make her better, but… they’ve never seen anything like this.”

“I really hope she pulls though. Don’t want Dinky to be raised be her own.” Vinyl said.

Gilda was curious by what the DJ said. “Dinky?”

“Derpy’s daughter.” Vinyl explained. “Lost her father about a couple months before Req and her friends came. And if she loses her mother…” Vinyl shook her head. “I know what it was like to raised without parents. I can tell you it ain’t nice.”

Unfortunately, Gilda also knows what it’s like to live without a parent. She looked into Derpy’s room. Her condition wasn’t getting better.

A orb of white light hovered over the curvature of the tower, the image of a certain grey Pegasus in it‘s center. It’s owner, the mystery man, sat beneath a lightning rod, the hood off and revealing his head. Looks like he’s 30 years old with pink spiky hair.

“Tick tock, on the clock. Better hurry till her time is up.” he with a feminine rhymed as he looked though a deck of cards.

His hair changed to green and his voice a deep baritone. “why are you rooting for them?”

Hair changed back to pink. “why not? It’s fun to toy with the simpletons once in a while.”

Hair changed to blue and the voice is more wily. “you know, I never thought I’d say this, but she’s right.”

Hair changed to white and voice a bit cold. “of course you would.”

Hair changed back to blue. “and what is that supposed to mean?”

Hair changed to black. “ENOUGH!” he yelled with a dark sinister intent. “either way, Lady Kyra wants them dead. And what she wants, she gets. Understand?”

Hair went down a rainbow route. “yes sir.” a multitude of voices said out of the one mouth.

Hair changed to black. “Good. Now, I think I thought of a good way on how to get rid of them” he pulled a card out of the deck. “by giving them a blast from the past.” he flicked the card out. It glowed as it flew on out.

The group ran into a large marsh which stretched from the city all the way to the mountain.

“Really wish we found out about the tumor thing earlier. Could’ve saved us a lot of trouble!” Twilight exclaimed as they ran on though.

“you know, she has a point.” Aura whispered to Sora. “why keep this hidden?”

“and it’s also like he knew this would happen. He’s hiding something.” Sora whispered back.

“Which way is the quickest way though, Jason?” Ash asked.

“Well, if you all could fly, we’d be on the other side by now.”

“if we had Orion, we’d be there and already have the spell.” Jax muttered to herself.

“how about less talking and more running!?” Spike exclaimed.

“he’s right.” Req said. “more time we spend lollygagging, the less time th--”

Black Powder - Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

Something suddenly burst out of the ground beneath them, sending everyone falling onto their back’s and inadvertadly picking Requiem and Jax on it’s back.

The beast shook it’s back and let loose a familiar trumpet-like roar that Aura instantly recognized. “wait. Is that…”

The monster roared yet again as the dirt, water, and muck that covered it stripped away. It’s 6 eyes opened and it’s wings opened wide as it let loose a 3rd earth-shattering roar.

“Green Death?!?” a very surprised Aura exclaimed.

“you know that thing?” Dash asked.

“……… you could say that.”

The Green Death roared as it reared it’s head back and got ready to breath fire. Something dove out of the sky and clawed it’s eyes out, temporarily blinding it as it breathed fire into the sky.

The mystery man, who’s eyes were glowing and hair was red, was surprised by that turn of events, only to dismiss it with a slight chuckled.

“not gonna work.” he said with a slight evil chuckle. He held out his hand, which began to glow with the same color as the hair.

“not cool! Not cool!” Jax exclaimed as she and Req slid down the dragon’s back and right towards it’s club-tail.

“this is gonna hurt!” Req yelled, covering her face.

The same thing that dove out of the sky flew over and picked them up before they could become pancakes.

Req and Jax opened their eyes and saw they were off the dragon and that something was pulling on their shirt collars. “what the?” they looked behind them and saw “Gilda?”

“Don’t take this the wrong way, okay?” she coldly said. The monster roared, getting their attention. “So how do we deal with ugly?”

Requiem summoned her wings, prompting Gilda to let her go. “well, we obviously can’t use the same plan we did on Berk; he’ll probably remember it.” Req muttered.

Jax looked over the battlefield and came up with something. “I have a idea. And it is a SHOCKER.”

Ash fired his pistols at the monster but all it was doing was making it mad. It snarled as it’s mouth started filling with gas.

“now would be a good time to run!” Aura exclaimed as he bolted for the mountain. Everyone followed suit, not wanting to become barbeque.

The Green Death breathed it’s fire and slowly turned it’s head, following them.

“Please tell me you beat this thing before!” a desperate Zilver asked.

“we did. Well, actually, Hiccup and Toothless did. I was just a diversion.” Aura explained.

A uncomfortable silence fell on them as they ran. “you don’t know how to beat it, do you?” the ponies asked.

“me? No.” everyone groaned in despair, knowing that their goose was fully cooked.

The Green Death roared and took to the air. It wasn’t in the air for more then a few seconds before being dragged down by something.

“Oh no you don’t.” Jax grunted as she stopped the monster from going farther up with Bind.

Req flew towards the right wing while Gilda headed for the left. Both zigged-zagged on thought the wings, punching big holes in them.

Once down, Req flew up above it, her sword glowing green. “time to go back down to earth!” she swung her sword, creating a giant gust of wind that hit the monster in it’s head, sending it crashing back to the ground.

Jax’s chakrams glowed brown as a glyph appeared under her. She grabbed one of them and slammed it into the ground while yelling ; “GROUND POUND!”

A big crater opened up, big enough for ugly to fall in and still have enough room for 2 more.

The other Chakram glowed blue as she tossed it up into the air, yelling; “TORRENT!”

More then one ball of water appeared, some as large as the monster itself. The Chakram spun though them, popping them and allowing water to fall towards the ground.

The water filled the crater up half-way. The dragon reared up out of the water and roared. Req snapped her fingers. A net appeared over the crater, trapping it within.

“now, Jax!” Req called out.

A big purple glyph appeared under the sorceress as the wind flipped around her and the Chakrams spun wildly. Dark clouds started to appear in the sky as thunder rumbled in them. Lightning shot around the area where the glyph was but the caster paid no mind.

“oh, mighty power of strikes the earth, which cleaves the heavens with such power and majesty…” the Glyph started to get brighter and brighter as the chakrams flew up into the clouds.

“…I call upon thee to strike my foes down so that the world may be cleansed of this evil blight!…” the Chakrams reached the center of the clouds and started spinning around in a circle, quickly gaining speed till they were naught but blurs. It caused the center to swirl around like a Tornado without the Tornado.

“Let this fool and those behind it fall to your mighty ferocity and grace!”

Jax snapped open her eyes as the Glyph disappeared from under her and reappeared in the center of the clouds.

“INDIGNATION!!!”

A massive, and I mean MASSIVE, Lightning Bolt shot down from the sky and hit the dragon dead center. It roared it’s death cry as it disintegrated under the sheer ferocity.

A massive explosion of steam followed that could be seen in the city and felt all the way back to Canterlot.

End Song.

The mystery man flipped though the deck of cards, looking each monster over. The Green Death’s card appeared and slipped itself back into the deck, the picture devoid of all color.

“well… guess I underestimated Melody’s power.” the black-haired version said.

The hair changed to silver and his voice took a Liam O’Brien approach. “you always underestimate the power of others, Tenebrae. That’s why you’re the strongest but not the smartest.”

The hair changed to black again. “shut it, Glacies. You may lead us but that doesn’t mean we have to like it.”

The hair changed to light-green and the voice a more laid-back approach. “come on, Ten. Ease up a bit.”

Hair changed back to black. “Shut it, Ventus. Or should I say, Aero? You are always the one holding us all back.”

Those 2 personalities retreated into the recesses of the mind as the silver-haired personality took over again. “*sigh* here we go again.”

Nothing but steam and smoke remained from the crater. Shadow slowly peeked out from behind a rock. Everyone with him, which was, well, everyone not involved in the fight, peeked out as well.

“whoa…” the ponies all exclaimed in awe.

Jax, standing where she cast, panted heavily as pure power seeped out of her like smoke. “yeah…” she tiredly said, staggering a bit. “that’s what you get… when you… mess with a pissed off lady.”

Dash landed right beside her and peeked into the crater. Nothing was left of the Green Death except the smoldering crater. “that… was… AWESOME!!!” Dash exclaimed. “Can we do it again?”

“I don’t think so, Dash. Unless you wanna die next time?” Gilda jokingly said as she and Req landed.

“Lady Gilda? What are you doing here?” Jason asked.

“what? Girl can’t make spontaneous decisions?”

“with you? No. there’s always a reason, Gil.” Dash smirked.

Gilda started blushing nervously. “I, un… t-t-t-there’s no reason. Just feeling helpful, okay?” nobody was buying. “now aren’t you all running out of time? Aren’t you all slowly being killed by a tumor?”

“Ah. Right.” A.J. said “Well, in that case…” Everypony bolted towards the mountain, leaving behind their figures in smoke. Sora shrugged and ran after them, followed by Ash, Aura, Bahamut, and Req.

Gilda started flapping her wings when Jason and Jax stopped her. “what?”

“you know what, Lady Gilda.” Jason insisted. “I’ve known you since childhood and you’ve never changed your mind without good reason.”

“So spill. What decided to make you help us?” Jax continued.

“there’s no reason.” Gilda blushed again. “I’m just in a helpful mood, like I said.” Gilda flapped and quickly took to the air, quickly flying after the group.

Jax gave a scoffing chuckle while Jason shook his head. “you buying that?” Jax asked.

“nope.”
