The Elements of Nature
Book 2: 土 & 雷 (Earth & Lightning)
Chapter 3, The Blind Bandit

On Azula’s ship, she is consulting with her two assistants, Li and Lo. Both of them are old Earth Pony twin mares. (key, Li bold, Lo italics, Li and Lo both) “When tracking your brother and uncle, traveling with the royal procession may no longer be an option.

May no longer be wise.

If you hope to keep the element of surprise.

“You're right.” Azula said to them. “The royal procession is dead weight. If I want to catch my prey, I must be agile, nimble. I need a small, elite team. It's time to visit some old friends.”

==================================================================

Later at a traveling circus in Geo Firma, Azula is looking for a pink earth pony with a light brown mane and tail with a high-wire set up for a cutie mark. Azula finds her and sees she's standing on the tip of one hoof. “Ty Lee, could that possibly be you?” Azula said to her.

She then opens her eyes and smiles when she sees ... “Azula!” Ty Lee breaks her stand and spins around in a graceful twirl and bows down before Azula. She then runs forward to give Azula a hug. “It is so good to see you!”

“Please, don't let me interrupt your ... whatever it is you were doing.”

Ty Lee, still smiling, does a back flip and ends up lying on her chest with one leg stretched out over her head and the other straight up to the sky.

“Tell me, what is the daughter of a noble mare doing here?” Azula said as she glances around to try to figure out why Ty Lee is with this circus. “Certainly our parents didn't send us to the Royal Academy for Mares to end up in ... places like this.” She said when she sees a Komodo Dragon lay a few eggs. Azula is completely disgust and turns her attention back to Ty Lee. “I have a proposition for you.” Ty Lee then looks at her wondering what it is. “I'm hunting a traitor.” Azula then casually looks at her hoofs. “You remember my old fuddy duddy uncle, don't you?” Azula asked.

“Oh yeah. He was so funny.” Ty Lee said while giggling while resting on her chest and elbows, but now with her both of her back hoofs resting on her head.

“I would be honored if you would join me on my mission.”

“Oh... I ... uh ... would love to.” Ty Lee said as she stands up in a fluid and elegant movement. “But the truth is, I'm really happy here.” She then smiles sincerely. “I mean, my aura has never been pinker!”

Azula quickly raises her hoof before Ty Lee could explain further. “I'll take your word for it. Well, I wouldn't want you to give up the life you love just to please me.”

“Thank you, Azula.” Ty Lee then bows in respect and returns to her stretching.

“Of course, before I leave, I'm going to catch your show.” Azula said while walking away.

Ty Lee's then accidentally breaks her stance, as she gasps in panic. She then continues her stretch and the expression of panic changes to one of worry. “Huh? Uh ... yeah ... sure ... uh ... of course...”

==================================================================

Later that night, at the Fire Nation Circus, two Chinese dragon's costumes are dancing while the circus master stands in the circus's main ring, addressing to the crowd. “We're deeply honored to have the Fire Lord's daughter at our humble circus.” He then points to the back, where Azula is in a high box with two guard. “Uh ... tell us if there is anything we can do to make the show more enjoyable.

“I will.” At the circus ring a net is spanned under an acrobat who's balancing on a rope, high up in the air on one hand. The acrobat is Ty Lee, who's wearing very colorful clothing. “Incredible. Do you think she'll fall?” Azula asked.

“Of course not, Princess.” The circus master said.

“Then wouldn't it make it more interesting if you removed the net?” Azula asked as she looks directly at the circus master.

“Uh ... the thing is ... the performers...” The concerned circus master began to say.

“You're right, you're right. That's been done.” After a short pause, she continues on with her voice showing dark pleasure. “I know. Set the net on fire.”

“Of course, Princess.” With a worried look upon his face, the circus master leaves the box. He takes a torch and sets the net aflame. Ty Lee looks down with concern at the consuming flames beneath her as she continues with her act.

“Brilliant, just brilliant!” An ecstatic Azula said. She then looks down at the circus master. “Ooh, what kind of dangerous animals do you have?” She asked happily.

The circus then master looks up, hopeful that he can change the subject to the animals and save Ty Lee from her burning peril. “Well, our circus boasts the most exotic assortment...”

Release them all!” Azula interrupted. The circus master is utterly shocked by Azula's command while Ty Lee still has a worried face while balancing on one hoof above the flames. The animals are then released, causing Ty Lee to yelp in fear.

==================================================================

Later that night, Ty Lee is in her dressing room sitting at a desk removing part of her costume, when Azula walks in. “What an exquisite performance. I can't wait to see how you'll top yourself tomorrow.”

Ty Lee just smilies at Azula's reflection in the mirror and says. “I'm sorry Azula, but unfortunately there won't be a show tomorrow.”

“Really?”

Ty Lee then hangs up her tiarra. “The universe has given me strong hints that it's time for a career change.” She then turns around to face Azula. “I want to join you on your mission.” Azula now has a satisfied look on her face.

==================================================================

Later at the Geo Firma City of Omashu, a royal palanquin is being carried up the stairs towards the house of the governor. The silhouette of Azula can be seen through the veils. At the base of the stairs, a lonely pony named Mai awaits the arrival of the palanquin. She has a light tan coat and a black mane and tail, along with a dark red and black dress. She has a shuriken for a cutie mark. The palanquin is then put down and Azula gets out and she and Ty Lee walk over to Mai. Mai puts her hoofs together and bows slightly towards Azula. “Please tell me you're here to kill me.” She said as she looks up at Azula as a smile appears on her otherwise emotionless face. Then both girls start to laugh as Azula then places her hoof on Mai’s shoulder.

“It's great to see you, Mai.” Ty Lee then rushes forward and gives her friend a big hug.

Mai just uncomfortably pats her back a little with her front left hoof. “I thought you ran off and joined the circus? You said it was your calling.” Ty Lee then releases Mai.

“Well, Azula called a little louder.” Ty Lee answered.

“I have a mission and I need you both.” Azula said as she places a hoof on both her friends' shoulders.

“Count me in.” Mai said as she looks annoyed at the house of her parents. “Anything to get me out of this place. So, we're tracking down your brother and Uncle, huh?”

“It'll be interesting seeing Zuko again, won't it, Mai?” Ty Lee teased Mai about, causing Mai to smile slightly about seeing Zuko again.

“It's not just Zuko and Iroh.” Azula said to them. “We have a few other targets also.” Azula said in a series tone.

==================================================================

At Erde City, the group make it out of the Foggy Swamp. They are surrounded by all the brightly colored billboard, sings, and ponies. “This place is huge. How are we going to find the Avatar of Earth here?” Sweetie Belle said. Erde City is the third biggest city in Geo Firma, behind only Omashu and Ba Sing Se.

“I don’t know. But we should get started.” Fire’ said. They then hear a couple of colts talking about a fight.

“I think The Boulder's going to win back the belt at Earth Rumble VI!” One of them said.

“He's going to have to fight his way through the best fighters in the world to get a chance!” The other said.

“Excuse me, but where is this Tournament, exactly?” Firebrand asked as he got closer.

“It's on the island of Nunya ...’nunya’ business!” The colts than laugh and walk away.

Rainbow then laughs and wipes tears of laughter away. “Oh, I got to remember that one!”

“I'll take care of this." Agua said. "Hey, strong guys! Wait up!” She then runs after the students around a corner.

“Why would you want to go to a Tournament, Firebrand?” Twilight asked him.

“Well, if were going to have a chance to find the Avatar of Earth, we need to look for strong fighters. After all, me and Agua are good fighters.”

“That makes sense ... I think?” Rarity said.

“RIght. Besides, we need to find strong allies against the Fire Nation.” Fire’ said. They then see Agua coming back.

“You ready to find the Avatar of Earth? Because we're going to Earth Rumble VI!” Agua said.

“How'd you get them to tell ya, sugarcube?” Applejack asked her.

“Oh ... a girl has her ways.” Agua said while smiling as they head for the Tournament. On the corner where Agua talked to them, the two colts are frozen together at the head, encased in ice at an alley.

==================================================================

Nightfall, and the find the entrance to the location of Earth Rumble VI: a lighted tunnel in a rock face. Ponies enter the tunnel and head down a hall where the competition will be held. A large rectangular arena is located in the middle. The arena has stairs running down to a lower, oval-shaped area. Seats for the spectators start at the same level as the arena. The gang walk into an empty row of seats. “Hey, front row seats! I wonder why no one else is sitting here.” Appel Bloom said as they sit down. Suddenly, a spear is thrown in their direction and it hits the seats behind them, barley hitting Fire’s head.

“I guess that's why.” Agua said as they head further up the seats to where its safe.

A Pegasus stallion walks to the center of the arena and grabs a microphone. “Welcome to Earth Rumble VI! I am your host, Xin Fu!

Twilight than sighs out of realization. “This is just going to be a bunch of guys chucking rocks at each other, isn't it?”

“Sounds like it.” Rarity said.

The rules are simple. Just knock your opponent out of the ring, and you win!” He then leaps up to a podium above the ring as a bell rings. “First up, The Boulder vs. The Big Bad Hippo!” The Boulder steps up as the crowd goes wild. He has a terra-cotta coat, earth green mane and tail, he also has a dumbbell for a cutie mark. He has a bow and arrow with him, with the arrows having boxing gloves on the tips. The Big Bad Hippo then steps forward. He has a moth that's like a real hippos. He has a yellow coat with a brown mane and tail with a hippopotamus for a cutie mark. He also has a large club.

The Boulder then points to the Hippo. “Listen up, Hippo. You may be big, but you ain't bad! The Boulder's gonna win this in a landslide!

Hippo ... mad!” The Hippo then raises his front legs in anger and stomps one foot. The Boulder fires three arrows that crash into The Hippo, but he doesn't move. He catches one arrow with his mouth, chews on it and spits it out. The Hippo then jumps up and down, causing the surface of the arena to tilt. The Boulder hereby looses his balance.

Unbelievable, mares and gentlecolts! The Hippo is rocking the roof!

The Boulder reaches the edge, but saves himself at the last second. He grabs a large rock and throws it at his opponent, hitting him on the back. As The Hippo turns around to look at him, The Boulder tackles The Hippo and throws him out of the ring. The Hippo crashes in the lower area of around the arena and the fight ends thus in The Boulder’s favor.

The Boulder wins!

“That was interesting.” Rainbow said to the others as the next match begins.

Next match ... The Boulder vs. Fire Nation Mare!

The Fire Nation Mare while happily waving a Fire Nation flag. The crowd boos loudly. “Please, to rise for Fire Nation National Anthem!” She then begins to sing, loudly. “Fire Lord! My flame burns for thee!” Rocks are then thrown at her by a booing crowd.

“Go back to the Fire Nation!” Rainbow yelled out. She then throws a rock that hits Fire Nation Mare’s head. Before she cold recover from the hit on the head, The Boulder grabs her and throws her out of the ring. After a few more rounds, the last round is here.

“I thought this would never be over.” Twilight said.

“Tell me about it.” Firebrand said to her.

“Who do you think this champion is anyway. He must be strong if he beat the Boulder before.” Scootaloo said to the group.

“I have a feeling we’ll find out.” Agua said to her as Xin Fu goes to the center of the stage.

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for. The Boulder vs. your champion ... The Blind Bandit!” Xi Fu said as a mare around the same age as Agua and Firebrand then walks into the ring. She is carrying a scythe with rock patterns on the blade and it has a black diamond where the blade leaves the staff. She has a sand brown mane and tail with earth green streaks, and a earth green coat. Her cutie mark is a mountain. Her hoofs are sand brown with a pattern thats like mountain tops.

“She can't really be blind. It's just part of her character, right?” Fluttershy said with worry in her voice.

“I think she is.” Firebrand said to her. “Theres something familiar about her.”

“This will defiantly be interesting.” Twilight said as the Boulder and the Blind Bandit face each other.

“I can’t look.” Pinkie said as she covers her eyes, only for her to slightly lift one of them so se can watch.

The Boulder feels conflicted about fighting a young blind mare!” He said to the earth green mare.

Sounds to me that you're scared, Boulder!” The young mare said to him mockingly.

The Boulder's over his conflicted feelings, and now he's ready to bury you in a landslide!

Whenever you're ready, The Pebble!” She then laughs. Firebrand then flashes back to his vision in the swamp of a young, blind mare laughing.

It's on!

“I remember now.”

“You do? Where did you see her?” Twilight asked, trying her best to hide the jealousy in her voice.

“In the swamp, from my vision.”

In the ring, the Boulder is throwing large rocks at the Blind Bandit. She keeps dogging them because she can see through the earth, meaning that she can see whats coming before it comes. She then pulls out her scythe and knocks the Boulder out of the ring. “Your winner, and still the champion, The Blind Bandit!”

“How’d she do that?” Apple Bloom asked.

“She used ... earthbending.” Firebrand said.

==================================================================

Later, outside the competition, the gang are trying to get some answers about the Blind Bandit, but find nothing. “Any luck?” Twilight asked the others. She got, ‘Nothing’s, ‘Buckets’s, and ‘Nada’s. She also got a, ‘Only a penny’ from Pinkie.

“If we want to find the Blind Bandit, the Academy is a great place to start.” Fire’ said. They then head for the academy and meet with the same two colts from yesterday.

“Oh great, you again.” One of them said.

Agua then glares at them, causing them to back off. “Yeah, I didn't think so.”

“We need to find the Blind Bandit. Do you guys know where she lives?” Fire’ asked.

“The Blind Bandit's a mystery. She shows up to fight, then disappears.” The other colt said.

Agua then places a hoof on Firebrand’s shoulder. “Let me handle this.” She the approaches the second student with a stern look and says accusingly. “You're not telling us everything!

“I ... I swear it's true! No one knows where she goes, or who she really is.” The colt said out of fear.

“That's because we're asking about the wrong pony.” Fire’ realized.

“What are you getting at, Fire’?” Twilight asked him.

"Well, In my vision, I saw a mare, in a white dress, with a flying boar. Know anypony like that?” Fire’ asked the colts.

“Well, a flying boar is the symbol of the Beifong family. They're the richest ponies in town, probably the world.” One of them said.

“Yeah, but they don't have a daughter.” The other finished. “They do have a son.”

“A flying boar is good enough for me. Let's check it out.” Fire’ said as he leaves with the others.

“Yeah, you'd better leave.” One of the colts said quietly.

“Hey, I got my eye on you.” Agua said to them.

==================================================================

Later at the Beifong estate, the gang arrives. “That's the flying boar from my vision. Come on!” Firebrand said.

They enter the courtyard when, suddenly, part of the ground lifts up, launching them into the air. They then see the Blind Bandit in a white dress on the ground nearby. “What are you gays doing here?”

“How did you know we were coming?” Agua asked her.

“How did you find me?” She asked.

“I had a vision in a magic swamp, and -”

“What Fire’ is trying to say is, he's the Avatar of Fire, while Agua here is the Avatar of Water. Were looking for the Avatar of Earth, and we think you might be the Earth Avatar.” Twilight told her.

“Not my problem. Now, get out of here, or I'll call the guards.” She said.

“Terra, who are these ponies, and why are you showing them your earthbending?” Terra then turns around, while the others see where the voice is coming from. Her older brother, Geo, is heading for them. Unlike his sister, he has a sand brown coat and an earth green mane and tail. He has light green eyes, and a horseshoe for a cutie mark.

“They are looking for the Avatar of Earth, Geo.” Terra said to him.

“Really.”

“Look, we don’t want any trouble. Were just looking for the Earth Avatar.” Firebrand told them.

Geo looks at his sister and nods. She then lowers the earth. “Come. Lets head in.” Geo said to them. Later, inside the dining hall, Geo and Terra are talking to their unexpected guests. “Your lucky our parents are away. Avatars or not, they would have you guys beheaded.” Geo told them as they drank tea.

“They would.” Fluttershy said.

“Yeah. Their kind of overprotective.” Terra told to them.

“Oh, grate.” Rainbow said.

“Look. I know my sister here is the Avatar of Earth, but if mom and dad found out, she would never see the light of day again, if you know what I mean.” Geo said to them.

“I understand, but if we have any chance against the Fire Nation, we need all the Avatars.” Agua said to them.

“Say, Terra, when did you first learn about your earthbending?” Twilight asked her.

“Well, you see, one day, when I was little, I ran away and hid in a cave. That's where I met them. The badger-moles. They were blind, just like me. So we understood each other. That's when I learned I can do earthbending, it's not just a martial art, but it's also an extension of my senses. Form them, the original earthbenders, I realized that I was one of the five Avatars. I also learned how they can see. They use seismic sense, with it I see with earthbending. It's kind of like seeing with my feet. I feel the vibrations in the earth, and I can see where everything is. You, that trees outside ... even those ants near Rarity’s cup.”

They look at her cup, and see some ants around it. “Eww.” Rarity said as she moves the cup from the ants and brushes them off the table. The others soon laugh.

==================================================================

Outside in some bushes, Azula, Ty Lee and Mai are watching the group. “Why are we doing this again?”

“To capture the Avatars before they find the other 3, that's why Ty Lee.” Mai said to her.

“Oh yeah.”

“Who are they talking to anyway?” Mai asked.

“I don't know, Mai. I can tell there a noble family, but they don’t look like there married, and that mare looks like she’s blind.” Azula said to her. They then see Terra bending a small rock. “That blind one must be the Avatar of Earth.” Azula said upon realizing she just saw her do earthbending.

“Great. We just started the search and we already let them find one of the 3 remaining Avatars.” Mai said.

“There heading outside. We have our chance if we use stealth.” Azula said as the gang leave the dinning hall. Ty Lee then looks at Firebrand before he leaves the room.

“Is it me, or is that Fire Avatar kinda cute.” Ty Lee said. Her friends then stare at her.

==================================================================

The gang, accompanied by Terra and Geo, are walking around outside. “We’ll talk with our parents. With any luck, they’ll listen.” Geo said to Firebrand.

“Good.”

“Say, Terra, why would you go to those tournaments?” Agua asked her.

“Because, I like fighting.” Terra answered.

“Well, your going to like this!” They turn around and see Azula, Ty Lee, and Mai standing by some unconscious guards.

“Aw, crud.” Fire’ said as he and Agua pulled out their weapons.

“I’ll take the Water Avatar, I guess.” Mai said unenthusiastically.

“Oh, oh, I’ll take the Fire Avatar!” Ty Lee said to Azula with excitement in her voice.

“Guess I’ll take the rest. It hardly seems fair ... for them.” They then attack. Ty Lee goes for Firebrand while Twilight backs him up.

“Who’s your girlfriend, Fire Avatar?” Ty Lee mocked.

“She’s not my girlfriend.”

“I’m not his girlfriend.”

“Oh, whatever.” Ty Lee then heads for them. She doges an attack from Firebrand’s sword and goes after Twilight and hits her with several quick jabs on
her front legs. Twilight is surprised by this attack and loses her balance.

“Twilight! What did you do to HER!” Fire’ then slashes a few times at Lee, who keeps dodging the attacks, thanks to her acrobatic skills.

“I just blocked her Chi that leads to her legs. It will wear off soon. Giving me enough time to do this!” She then grabs Fire’ and throws him onto the ground and jumps on him. She then leans in closes and kisses him. Twilight is both angry and shock at what Ty Lee is doing. Fire’ them quickly kicks her off.

“Oh, yuck. I just got kissed by a Fire Nation mare! Blah!” Twilight then gets some strength back in her legs and walks over to him and glares at the pink Fire Nation pony.

“I can’t believe she just did that!” Twilight said, clearly annoyed.

“I can’t believe it either! Not exactly how I pictured my first kiss.” Fire’ said as he gets up.

“Gee, so territorial. And its only our first date.” Ty Lee joked.

“I really don’t like this mare.”

“Me either, Twi.” He then removes his cape and places it over Twilight. “Hear, you need it more than I do now.” Twilight then smiles. Ty Lee then glares at her with a boat load of jealousy.

Meanwhile, Agua and Rainbow are busy with Mai. Each attack they fire, she dodges with relative ease. “I’m so board. Can you two at least make it a little more interesting?”

“I had it with you!”

“I had it with her too, Rainbow.” They then attack again, but Mai jumps out-of-the-way and throws some Kunai at them.

Meanwhile, the others, including Terra and Geo, are having trouble with Azula. “Darn she's good.” Shining said as he got hit by a karate kick.

Back with Twilight & Firebrand, Ty Lee is still giving them trouble. “This mare is really starting to get on my nerves!”

“I know. It’s like she knows when were going to attack.” Twilight said as Ty Lee throws a rock at them that hits Twilight in the leg. “I’m really going to turn her into a cactus if she keeps this up.” She then runs for Lee to use her magic to turn her into a cactus, but lee jumps over her and lands behind her. Lee then wraps one of her legs around Twilight’s neck and places a small dagger near Twilight’s head.

Let her go, now!” Fire’ said in a stern and angry voice.

“Aww. What are you going to do about it? If she even makes a twitch, she is a dead mare. And even if you knock the dagger out of my hoof, I can just break her neck.”

“Firebrand. Help!”

LET. HER. GO. NOW!” Fire’ said as he began to glow.

==================================================================

On a remote island, a small crown that's like Twilight’s tiara, only with a fire like pattern on it, begins to glow in the jungle. It’s right next to a white orb that appears to be alive. "It has begun." A strange, unknown voice said.

==================================================================

At the Beifong estate, Firebrand begins to be cover in fire. His mane and tail become blue fire while the rest of him becomes white fire. His sword and eyes become orange fire. Doth Lee and Twilight are horrified by what just happened to Firebrand. Fire’ then disappears in a flash.

“Huh.” Ty Lee began. “Where did he go...” Before she could finish, Firebrand appears behind her and throws her across the court yard.

“Firebrand? I didn't know you could do that.” Twilight said when she sees his new look.

“I didn't either. I just became so worried about you that this happened.” Fire’ then stops when he realizes what he just said. Thou he is still made of fire, Twilight can still see that he's blushing. She then blushes to.

==================================================================

On top of a hill, an insectoid like creature carrying a samurai sword sees Fire’ and stays in place. The creature is like an changeling, only with white armor that’s like with red spikes coming out of his shoulders. He also has red eyes and is carrying a katana.

==================================================================

Agua and Rainbow are beginning to understand why Mai’s cutie mark is a shuriken. “You two are finally starting to make this interesting. I bet your mothers would bedridden you two for months when I’m done with you.” Mai unenthusiastically said.

At the thought of her mother, Agua becomes extremely angry and she begins to glow, along with her neckless that she brought. “Don’t you dare talk about my MOTHER!” She then begins to turn into water. Her mane and tail become steam while her body becomes liquid water. Her wings and trident become ice. She the fires a blast of water at Mai and it freezes her front hoofs.

“OK. Time to get out of here.” Mai said as she runs to help Ty Lee.

“That was AWSOME!” Rainbow said to Agua.

“I think this has something to do with the Element of Water.” Agua said as she looks herself over.

Azula is about to kill the others when both Mai and Ty Lee show up. “What happened to you two.”

“I think we accidentally helped the Avatars of Fire and Water unlock their true potential.” Ty Lee said as Fire’ and Agua arrive with Rainbow and Twilight in tow.

“Guys! Are you all right?”

“Were fine now, Rainbow.”

“Good, Applejack. Now let's get you up.” Rainbow said as she helps them up.

Shining then turns to Twilight. “So, how was your date with Fire’?”

“Nows not the time for jokes, Shining! Oh, before I forget.” She then uses her magic to levitate Terra’s scythe to her. “Hear you go.”

“Thanks. Now I can do some damage.” Terra then walks beside Fire’ and Agua. Her neckless (which looks like her cutie mark) begins to glow. Her mane and tail become sand while her body and scythe become pure earth and stone. They then get ready for battle.

“Uh, Azula. I think its time of a retreat.” Mai said.

“Good call, Mai.” Ty Lee said.

“Fine.” She then reaches into her saddle bag and pulls out a small ball. She throws it on the ground and smoke envelops them. When it clears, they’re gone. Fire,’ Agua, and Terra then return to their normal forms and collapse.

“Firebrand!” Twilight then runs up to him while the others run up to the others. “Are you all right? Can you get up?” Twilight asked him as she lifted his head.

“Do I have to?” Fire’ said to her. She then releases her hold and he drops. Agua and Terra then get up, followed by Firebrand.

“That was amazing, sis. You finally got a hold on that.” Geo said to his little sister.

“Thanks, Geo.” Terra said.

==================================================================

On the hill where the white changeling is at, he sees them talking about what happened. “Impressive.” He said as he leaves.

==================================================================

Later, it's almost dawn, and Fire’ is walking in the garden along with Twilight. “Shining and Cadence managed to get us a ride out of here. So why the long face?”

“Its that Ty Lee from last night. I still can’t believe she kissed me. And she threatened you. I can’t believe anypony from the Fire Nation is like that.”

“Tell me about it. But the good news is that you can become an inferno whenever you want to now.”

“Yeah. I guess it is a good thing.” He then pauses for a moment. “Twilight, I swear that I will never let something like that again happen again.” Twilight then blushes, but she tries her best to hide it. Some Royal Pegasus Guards from Equestria arrive to pick them up. The group the get into the large chariot being pulled by 6 pegasi.

“Take good care of my sister.” Geo said.

“We will, Geo.” Shining said to him. “Say, how are you going to explain this to your family?”

“I‘ll tell them that I found a school for the blind and I sent Terra there with some guards.” Geo said. The group soon leave, with Terra finally getting her first taste of real freedom.

==================================================================

In a forest near the border of Equestria and Geo Firma, the strange creature from before is walking along a river. He the stops for a moment. “So,” he began, “the Avatar has returned, but in 5 bodies like the prophecy says. But so have I!” He the continues to walk away.
