	Soarin
I woke up on some sort of paved walkway with a consistent texture. This was after Dash and I jumped through the mirror with the others to find Boss and Twilight. Turns out Shining figured out who that guy that took Boss’ soul was. And he was going to attack in… a couple hours. I tried to stand up but something felt off about my hind legs… it felt like there was more to them… wait… I got a good look at myself and tried to adjust my posture to the… Human I’d become, which ultimately landed my back on the pavement again.
“Come, now Soarin,” Ven said. “You’ll have to try better than that!”
“Right, sorry,” I got up again, this time holding myself against the side of the statue that I apparently came through. I looked at Ventus, the Viridian falcon with light shaded tendrils rolling over his wings. His very presence had given me a sense of security as of late, ironic since he was a spirit of Chaos. “Let’s find Tenebrae and Boss!” I said as soon as everyone was up.
“I doubt we’ll find one with the other,” Ignus said. The Crimson Lizard with orange runes running around his scales and coming up in flames was always by Ironsparks’ side. “Our job is to follow the one with the soul of the Guardian of Chaos, if that’s the case, Tenebrae would be with Dreamheart.”
“So, Flash ain’t a guardian anymore!?” Ironsparks yelled.
“Buck me…” Applejack responded.
“What about Glacius, we find him we find Glacier Storm, and we find Glacier, we find Flash right?” Pinkie asked.
“That Logic is actually sound, Pinkie Pie,” Ven said. Everyone looked amazed at Pinkie. “Yes… I didn’t think I’d ever say that either. But allow me.” Ven collapsed his wings over the space in front of his body, what he usually did when contacting another Spirit of Chaos through Telepathy. We waited the better part of a minute before we were told to go five miles west… and Ven and Ignus turned out to be our best transport there.
“Ah didn’t know ya’ll could do that!”  Ironsparks exclaimed when looking at his reptilian styled four wheeled vehicle with huge wheels, about up to my elbows when they’re at my sides. Ignus said he had room for five in him.
“What about you, Ven?” I asked.
“As long as Rainbow Dash holds on tight… I’m sure I can handle carrying the two of you.” We got on put on our helmets and rode off west.



Master Chief Flash Sentry
Everything was fine, I didn’t even notice Tenebrae was missing until I heard his voice… right as I was stabbed in the chest with Sinhunter. I managed to avoid every slash from that sword but Tetsuya was in the water, leading me to climb the cliffs and fight him on the edge of the one closest to the ocean.
Dreamheart pulled me in closer, looking me in the eye… “Be grateful…” he said. “You get your soul back.” He pushed me away and I felt Sinhunter slowly sink further and further into my torso… from both sides. It was agonizing, but bearable somehow.
“You’re not dying on me yet Flash Sentry.” I heard a familiar voice. I looked up to the Obsidian Hellhound that acted as my guide for leading the Guardians of Harmony. “You have too much to live for.”
“Where’ve you been Tenny?” I joked with a nickname I remembered one of my past lives calling him.
“Following Jetstream…” he pointed with his tail to Dreamheart. “At least we know that he’s Shining Armor’s Unborn son and that he’s mad because you ‘betrayed’ his father…”
“What are you talking about?” Dreamhe-Jetstream asked.
“I dug into your memories… I saw a look of pain of Flash’s face and the words ‘I’m sorry’ on his lips as he killed your father.”
“I’d never kill Shining!”
“You had to… he was being forced to fight you… by-“
“I’ve had enough of your lies!” one more slash and I was over the cliff or bleeding out on it. He drew his own sword wildly and out of desperation I jumped. Falling. Wind. Crashing waves. Falling. I regretted that choice to jump. I was now falling head first for the ocean… if I could only fly… Fly… FLY!
