This story is a sequel to Flash Sentry Chronicles: Our Town
Flash Sentry has come along way from his days as a street rat. He's trained with the best, learned from the wisest and fought against the most wicked. He's met many amazing friends in his adventures, both pony and non-pony, and has helped save Equestria from disaster many times. So why is he so nervous about finally getting the chance to become a Royal Knight, his dream?
Could it be that Flash doesn't feel he's ready yet, or is it something else.
And what of the mysterious ability that Flash has unleashed several times? Will he ever learn where it came from and why he was given it? Will he ever be capable of properly controlling it?
Only time can answer all these questions.

A great way to start a new chapter in the Flash Sentry Saga. Man...Flash must've picked up a bit on Twilight in terms of freak outs. But given that this is a big thing for him, makes sense.
And Cold Steel finally makes his true debut to the others. I'll admit that I liked his entrance. Super cool. Now I'm excited for the Trial to commence.
And yes! We're finally getting some answers to Flash's strange Light Powers!
Love the interaction of the Knights, Cold lives up to his name, but with reason.
So what secrets have Flash's parents uncovered about Flash?
It seems a bit simple to me for a Royal Knight in this story to be tested merely in combat. I presume then there's going to be a test within the test.
And Cold Steel, I can't help but think to my character in The EK with the exact same name. As for his voice, due to my personal use of the name, I either hear Clive Dunn (Corporal Jones from Dad's Army), with the line "There his is. " which I initially mistook for "He is here" I'm also imagining Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield. And again with Tolkien, due the word Wanderer in his title, I can hear Sir Ian McKellen as Gandalf, what with his Elven nickname of Mithrandir meaning the "Grey Wanderer".
Hopefully, we'll get some explanation of Flash's powers. Whether they'll be satisfying or make some sense is another matter.
We are here at least for flash's big moment and I think him and Twi are going to get together.

Oh and the guy who should by Cold should be Peter Stormare

I want to agree with most of the ideas, but with a few addendums.
I think Sunburst would be part of the rescue party with Starlight, Thorax, Discord, and Trixie... just saying...
During this it is shown that one of the reasons Cozy is able to attend The School of Friendship because being sperate the EEA there is no cross-reference to other schools in Equestria (set up that maybe Neighsay is not entirely wrong, but not for the reasons he thinks)
The two (Flash and Twilight) show Star Swirl, Star Swirl then by himself shows the evidence to Neighsay, Neighsay revokes the school's accreditation, citing clear misappropriation of funds and blatant price gouging. (Set up that Neighsay is reformable)
Not sure how to feel about the pregnancy sub-arc, but I do like the idea of a FlashLight marriage, I don't think Star Swirl should be the one to officiate, but not much else.
Oh boy, this is it! I can't wait for the test to begin. If this version of Cold Steel is just as good a fighter as your Yugioh version is a Duelist then Flash might have a hard time. Hopefully it doesn't take Flash three tries to beat him this time.
I am curious about the circumstances of Flash's birth and his mysterious powers. If he can master them quickly, or at least understand what they are, they could give him the edge he needs to beat Cold. He probably could have beaten Tirek with his powers if they hadn't failed on him at the last moment.

I am pretty sure Banshee once said that Cold would be voiced by Daegan Manns.
Hey, I see this in the featured right now.
You know, Cold Steel reminds me of the admiral from One Piece who possesses strong ice powers.
9747513
Okay
9747511
Thank you for your opinions and tell what you think of these ideas about the episode fan fics not associated with the show but for this fanfic only.
1.Flash and maybe one or two of the royal knights are being body guards for prince trueblood for one day.
2.In Flash hamonry army we get a proper Garble Reformation
3. An Applecarmel story
4. An Lightning Raity story
5.Discord and Iron get a story ending their rivalry
6.More Zebras do something the show never did
7. Have a double 00 7 like story with Flash being a bond parody. But who do you think should be the one to officiate them? And maybe in flutter brother Sorain tell Zephyr to back off his mare.
9747771
I like the ideas of most of them... expect the AppleJackXCaramel story. Yeah there's not much given from the source material to buy the premise of that ship...
9747771
I was thinking Celestia would officiate the marriage
... just saying she did officiated Cadance's...
9747460
Oh about Newbie Dash, as long as Soarin doesn't coddle Rainbow, maybe explain that everyone gets a nick name based on something stupid they did at the start of their offical time as a Wonderbolt and that the best thing she can do is just own her nickname... of course she won't take the advice, but Soarin can't give her special treatment.
9747809
He kinda already did that way back in season 2, on Hearts and Hooves Day. He even said she would probably get her old nickname Rainbow Crash if and when she crashed in front of the others.
9747813
Fair, but to be just, RD needs frequent reminders of certain things
OH COME ON!
Oh my gosh! At long last, we finally get some answers.
Nice HTTYD 3 Reference
9748988
How did I miss that the first time, and I saw that movie a month ago? 
9749967
it happens. I almost didn't even notice it
9749967
I am a bit embarrassed to admit I have not seen that movie yet. What was the reference?
9751259
Well, that was both cryptic and informative.
... Mrs. Velvet, time and place, now's not the time to make accusations ...
I have to disagree, your grace, Velvet started it, Misty was defending herself.
Solid, buddy, sooner or later you're gonna have to face the divide between you and Grand, the longer you make it the more volatile it will be
9757455 So what did you think of what you learned in this chapter? I'm itching to see what the readers think of the Sacred Light.
9757460
I'm gonna hold off and see.
This is nice and how many chapters is in this fic because I'm looking forward on how this ends.
Please say that Flash and Twilight get together at the end?
Also I hope you can develop a rivalry with Flash and King Sombra you know make be the
Luther to his Superman
His joker to his batman
The green goblin to his spiderman
The Shredder to his TMNT
The red skull to his captain america
Mandarin to his iron man
Megatron to his Optimus
and him trying to steal Twilight from him.
I'm getting a Green Lantern vibe from that prophecy that Flash read... so does that make him a Blue Lantern or White Lantern?
For some reason the background of Flash and Scootaloo's parents reminds me of those of Arnold's parents from The Jungle Movie.
9757540
I think you got the roles of Optimus and Megatron reversed for the comparison you are trying to make
9757610
Okay oh and maybe make DBZ abridged references like when Flash face off against Starlight again.
Starlight "Oh you think your beginning cute!"
Flash "Witch I'm adorable."
9757615
I find of hope Flash and Starlight don't clash and Flash like the Cutie Map, is a constant in Twilight's confrontation with Starlight, Starlight on the season 5 finale is Twilight's fight
9757619 Don't worry, Flash won't be facing off against Starlight. He'll have his own problems to deal with.
9757620
Still make a DBZ abridged references please
I get the feeling that if Velvet ever cracks open a Bible, she wouldn't like the story of Samuel very much. For those with access to a Bible, you can find the story in I Samuel 1-3. Spoiler alert, Samuel's parents, specifically his mother, gave him up also.
Oh my god, it all makes sense now! I guess I should have guessed something like this would be behind Flash's powers here since that's more or less how it happened in your Yugioh story too.
So, this strange power is called The Sacred Light. That sounds awesome. Learning about it and its polar opposite, Corrupted Shadow, was interesting. So everything Flash was immune to in the past was because it originated from it. It's interesting that this even includes Poison Joke, Chrysalis, and Tirek. What Flash read about the Sacred Light kinda sounds like an oath or a pledge.
Though, even if this was all interesting it doesn't really help Flash learn how to control his powers, or stop it from failing on him like the times he fought the pirates and Tirek. Hopefully he can figure that out in time for his battle with Cold.
9757620
I am most relieved
9757665
There's also Moses...
This al most reads like the green lantern othe , so is Flash going to be some form of magical lantern.
Oh I'd would also like to see a flashlight and Soraindash double date.
9758121
That sounds like a recipe for disaster. I'm totally down for it.
I think I know what's going on. Velvet feels cheated. She raised and loved Flash along side her own children for over a decade, and then Flash's birth mother enters the picture, and Flash (more or less) welcomes her back with open arms. It's like all the work she did didn't mean a thing. Well, lady, that's love for you. You can't earn or deserve it, only give or receive it. Besides, to paraphrase Mr. Ping, having his birth parents in his life doesn't mean less for you; it means more for Flash, and right now, Flash needs both his moms.
9762015
I disagree. I don't think Velvet feels cheated, she feels insulted that Flash's parents would just...you know, give up their kid. Velvet doesn't have future vision, so she doesn't know the dangers Flash's parents were able to see, so she's being a normal good parent and saying she can't approve of such a thing. Even if you're told why someone does something and they have a reason to do it, that doesn't mean you have to agree with the decision. Its very natural.
9762399
¿Por que no los dos?
9757926
His mother gave him up TWICE, and the second time, she had to personally hand him over to the daughter of her people's oppressor. Can you imagine?
9764325
I think you're missing my point
9764387
Your point wouldn't have anything to do with mothers giving up their children because a greater purpose demanded it, would it?
I was talking about Moses.
9764391
Yes
9764582
Then, I think I got it.
