Chapter 12, Bond of Knowing, Part 2

Still standing on the grass, Equestria Girls Twilight Sparkle paused a minute here, then said, again slowly

"No... We... are... not... doing... that..."

...

Shysage had heard this voice... ...this... ...whole 'persona' before...

It was Princess Twilight... It was the many times she had 'just known', then clearly directed... ...what Equestria wanted...

Shysage realized that the very Realm of Equestria was reaching out...

...across the Portal...

...into Princess Twilight's Twin...

Shysage was amazed...

...

Most of what had been 'done' to rescue Equestria up to this point, was done by Shining Armor, then Shysage himself.

Shining Armor had conducted himself as he had, because of his amazing military might.

Shysage had done most of what he had done, out of simple desperation, trying to rescue his Mare and his girls.

The very realm of Equestria was taking over now...

Shysage's 'best guess' had been 'Twin Fishing'... The Realm of Equestria simply ignored this... Equestria's response would majestically unwind as the day progressed...

...

Again, Shysage was amazed...

He was a people, of course...

Shysage got up, walked down onto the grass, and bowed before Equestria Girls Twilight Sparkle, and said

"Twilight, you are our Princess' Twin... And from beyond the Portal, Equestria is calling out through you... Just tell us what you want us to do..."

By the time he was done, everyone else was bowing next to him too.

Twilight Sparkle was embarrassed, but still she realized the import of Shysage's words.

Twilight said simply "Please arise..." almost without even thinking about what she said...

It was quiet for a minute, as everyone got back up, and just stood close to Twilight. Princess Twilight's Twin was still thinking, or more likely, listening...

Shysage knew it was a short matter of time before Equestria started calling the shots.

Twilight said "Shysage, I want you to go through the Portal, just into the Portal Room, and just look around. Then come back and tell us what you find."

Shysage smiled, then walked over, and took his Mare by the hand. They always went through the Portal together now.

They walked quickly around the school to the Portal wall, and went through the Portal together.


Once through to the other side of the Portal to Equestria, Summer and Shysage both changed from ponies back into 'people', took each other's hand again, and just looked around.

Roderick was there, and he looked at them, but said nothing.

Shysage looked down, and picked up a piece of paper...

"Four Princesses in jail"

Then he took the paper, and he and Summer went back through the Portal.


Summer and Shysage came out of the Portal into the Equestria Girls world, and walked quickly away.

On the way back to the group, Shysage said softly to his Mare "I think our Princess is coming soon", then he smiled.

Summer smiled back at him.

Still, they said nothing as they gave the paper to Equestria Girls Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight read it, then handed it to Rarity, who was closest, so they could all look at it.

Still, she was looking down, thinking... Probably listening still...

"Shysage, was there anything else in the Portal room?" Twilight asked. She was still looking down mostly, deep in thought.

"Roderick, Shining Armor's second in command was there Twilight, and I'm pretty sure he remembers" Shysage replied softly. Still, it took discipline on his part to not say "Princess Twilight"; they were both the same.

Twilight Sparkle thought for maybe two more minutes, then said simply and softly "Shysage, go back, and tell Roderick that the Equestria Girls require Princess Twilight."

Summer and Shysage immediately headed back off across the grass to the Portal.

On the way, Summer said softly "I love you Stallion. You really do have Equestria in your heart."


Shysage and his mare went through the Portal, changed back to 'people', and Shysage again took Summer's hand.

They both walked up to Roderick, and Shysage said quietly

"I have been asked to have you let Shining Armor know that the Equestria Girls require Princess Twilight."

Roderick understood, and said simply "Please wait a minute."

After a few minutes, Roderick said "Princess Twilight will be on her way shortly."

Shysage said "Thank you", bowed his head slightly, then he and Summer headed back through the Portal.


On the other side of the Portal, in the Equestria Girls world, Shysage took Summer's hand again, and then he simply backed up a few steps from the grass area in front of the Portal wall.

Shysage was simply standing still at this point.

After a minute, Summer said "Shysage, should we go tell Twilight? It will be two hours before they get an Air Coach to the Port--"

Princess Twilight cleared the Portal at that point, and Shysage immediately bowed to her, and Summer did too, very amazed...

Shysage rightly assumed that the Portal would fold Time again to help them, to help Equestria. Shysage really didn't understand much more than that.

"Precious ponies, please arise" Princess said, then she hugged Summer, then Shysage.

"Let's go join the others." Princess Twilight then said softly.

They headed off towards the bleachers together.

As soon as the Equestria Girls saw Princess Twilight, they all ran quickly across the grass to her, and everypony immediately bowed before her. They all loved their Princess.

Poor Rainbow... On the way to make a goal, she saw her Princess... She ignored the ball, and ran quickly over and bowed to Princess Twilight with the rest. Rainbow loved her Princess too.

Her team-mates just stood there amazed, but they would get over it quickly. They just kept playing.

Princess Twilight first told her Twin, Twilight Sparkle "Twilight, please do not bow to me any more."

Twilight got up at this, and they hugged tightly a minute.

"The rest of you, please arise. The Equestria Girls are again standing in the gap for Equestria. We thank you all."

Princess Twilight teared up a little, then added "...And I missed you all a lot too..."

Before doing anything else, Princess Twilight asked Twilight Sparkle to summon the Principal sisters on her 'cell', and this was quickly done.

Then Princess worked her way around the group hugging everypony.

They all went back over to the bleachers, and sat in a fairly close group.

The Principal sisters soon joined them, and Princess Twilight hugged each of them tightly. Vice-principal Luna was overjoyed to hear her Twin was fine, and cried for a few minutes.

Princess next had everypony sit and listen a minute or two as she spoke.

Well, Twilight Sparkle stood next to Princess.

"I don't know how much Shysage has told you, but a series of spells has been cast on everypony in Equestria. The worst one is a memory spell that causes everything important to be forgotten.

"A mare in Canterlot is involved in the take-over, but it is clear there is another, far more magically powerful being helping her.

"Since we do not know how much this being can sense around the realm, it is very important to talk as little as possible while we are in Equestria for the moment.

"That is all I have for now."

Princess stopped here and thought a few minutes. Shysage was pretty sure she was 'listening'.

"Well, Shysage, I need you and Summer to take the Principal sisters through the Portal. Tell Roderick to have Shining Armor place them under arrest in Canterlot, and he will know what to do. Then both of you come back here."

Shysage again took Summer's hand and they led the Principal sisters to the Portal.

Shysage sent the Principal sisters through first, then they followed together.


All four of them were soon in Equestria.

Summer and Shysage again changed back to 'people', then Shysage again took Summer's hand.

They walked over to Roderick, and Shysage said quietly "I have been asked to have Shining Armor arrest these two ponies, and place them in jail in Canterlot.

Again, Roderick replied "Just a minute, please."

After waiting a minute, Roderick looked up at the Principal sisters, and said "You are both under arrest! Come with me..."

Shysage was pretty sure that they were now on their way to the Air Coach, and that, within two hours, they would both be 'in jail' with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.

Summer and Shysage went back through the Portal together, and were soon back in the Equestria Girls world.
