Wanted: The Last Babylonian

by DJ-Photonix


Chapter 3

It came lunch time, and Twilight hasn't returned. This made Tyzander extremely nervous in so many ways. Could Twilight be informing Celestia, or was she just taking her time. This was something that he didn't know the answer too. All he could do was sit in a tree house with a pegasus that he almost killed to get away. Is there enough time to escape? Is there any way he could get out of this without any problems?

So many questions filled his head, it made him angry. Not knowing what was ahead of him was something that he hated more then always running for his life. But knowing he had feelings, it made him truly feel alive. Living through his parents' death, getting shot, twice, stabbed in the leg, starved, and dehydrated he had lived though all of it.

A slight feeling of pride started to fill his heart, but was stopped when there was a knock at the door. Once again Tyzander jumped out of the couch, and bolted behind a chair. Trying his best to be out of sight.

Fluttershy, got to the door, and opened it.

"Oh, it's just you Luna." Fluttershy said.

"Good afternoon dearest Fluttershy, but have you seen a unicorn around here?"

"N-no... why do you...a-ask?"

"Doest you know something Fluttershy? We are looking for a unicorn without a cutie mark."

"I'm sorry...p-princess, b-b-but I don't know what you're talking about."

"Fluttershy, we see the lie your are covering, where is the Babylonian?"

"What's a 'Baby-lion-an'?"

"Ugh! Doest thou try to anger us? Tell us!"

Fluttershy curled up into a ball shaking rapidly. Rolling his eyes, he used a bit of magic to add a small picture to his flank. It looked like a face with a mask covering it partially. Slowly he stood up revealing himself.

"H-hello." He said weakly. He didn't know he used a lot of magic doing what he just did, and shrinking himself.

"And who is this dear Fluttershy? A stallion for your kind heart?" Luna asked. "OH! He's built well." She winked at Tyzander. "Is this what you were hiding?"

"Yeah, we've met just yesterday. She's taking care of a cut that got infected." He said showing his infected leg.

Luna winced at the gross looking leg, and nearly threw up. Luckily she was able to swallow it back down,

"We..." Luna paused trying to regain herself. "We hope you get better, please look for a unicorn without a cutie mark." With that Luna bolted off leaving the door open for another pony to walk in.

Tyzander couldn't keep his magic up for much longer so he had to make it quick.

"Sorry, but Fluttershy is currently having a moment to herself. Why don't you come later?" He asked, with strain in his voice.

"Oh, sorry then. Just want'n to know if Fluttershy is commin to Apple Bloom's party tomorrow? She's supposed to bring her animals so they can play with my dog."

"I-I'll make sure that I tell her. GOOD BYE!" He shouted closing the door.

He turned around seeing Fluttershy had gotten up just in time to catch him in time. He felt weak after using a ass load of magic. More then he was used to. Slowly though he was able to stand.

"Thank you for catching me."

"I didn't know you could do that to princess Luna."

"The goddess of the moon? Oh, y-ye..." Tyzander said,hitting the ground falling unconscious.

Landing on her balcony, Luna had a smirk on her face that could speak a million words. She felt the magical surge like her elder sister had, but this time it was right next to her.

She couldn't help but laugh lightly, but she stopped when Celestia walked out to meet her.

"There was another one, but I couldn't pick up where it was. A more powerful magic blocked its location." Celestia said. "Damn...so close."

Luna chuckled.

"Something funny Lulu?" Celestia asked.

"Its nothing Tia. See, I think we need to wait a bit longer before we catch this one."

"Why?" Celestia asked looking at her sister, and showed a great look of confusion. "Don't you re-"

"I do sister, but something...I don't know what, but something good may come out of us waiting for his capture."

"What makes you think it is a stallion?"

"I don't know," Luna said. "I just think that male unicorns have more power then female unicorns."

"I suppose you're right there Lulu."

"How about we go eat?" Luna asked her sister with a smile.

"Good idea, we've spent half the day looking for the Babylonian."

"And may we spend more of these days," Luna said with a smile wanting to end the sentence there, but didn't want her sister to grow suspicious. "together."

Celestia nodded with a warm smile. "Yes, together..."

"Are you sure?" Asked Twilight as she put her ear against Tyzander's chest. "He just fell over, and passed out after talking to princess Luna? How did she not see though his disguise?"

"Yes, he was talking, then just fell over. Poor Angel, he nearly got crushed by him." Fluttershy said feeding her bunny a couple of carrots.

Twilight knew what happened. Tyzander had completely used up any magic he had in order to hide its true form. Changelings could do this, but would still have a great deal of energy left in their bodies. It was a gift they had.

"He's alright, but it's going to be a good while. He used alot of magic, so he's resting it off." Twilight explained. "It's a good thing I got here in time."

"Wait why?" Fluttershy asked. "Was he in danger or something?"

"Well he's in danger nontheless, but he's not anywhere close to dying by using too much magic."

The mares looked at him, but Twilight stopped to grab her scroll with a quill. "I'm going to take a few notes." She said writing something down on her scroll.

In Fluttershy's eyes, Tyzander looked peaceful while he slept, and she sort of enjoyed watching animals sleep. Watching them breath in then out slowly over and over again until she herself fell asleep along side the animal she would watch. It caused her to spend many summer nights with small squarels.

Twilight was feeling guilty for the moment. Lying to her best friends was the worst thing she could ever do to them. She scanned his whole body. He was running a 104.5° fever, and sweating severely. His infection was starting to move to the rest of his body. Luckily, however, she was able to slowly heal it at best. But it stopped the spread nonetheless, and she knew it more or less taking pride that she was helping. Still though she felt terrible for lying, but it was supposed to be helpful. Maybe the shy pegasus knew he was ill beyond compare.

Twilight stopped writing, and set the things on a desk nearby. She then stood up, and walked out. Though she was stopped before she was all the way out.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"I've found a way to help Tyzander. Just stay here, and watch him okay?" Twilight asked, as she have a look of dread in he eyes, and Fluttershy saw it. The pegasus nodded, and walked back to her home. Stopping before she got back in.

"If I gets to it, I'll make the princesses help..."

"Fluttershy you kn-"

"For once Twilight!" The pegasus shot back. "I think I'm in love! And....and I want to help him!"

Twilight looked at her friend with a look that wanted for her too, but not tell the princesses. "Wait for me to make the call first. If I can't find help, go fly with Rainbow Dash to Canterlot as fast as if you were trying to save her from Discord corrupting her more."

"I'll give you until dinner, so four hours!" Fluttershy said. "Four hours, and I flying to Canterlot."

Twilight nodded, and ran down the path that led back to Ponyville.

"Help... I don't fell well..."

"Please... Wait Tyzander..." Fluttershy begged. "Please Twilight.....hurry."
