He slowly opened his eyes to see glimpses of two ponies staring at him. He passed out, to weak to continue on. Mrs. Cake said, "Oh dear, we better get this one to a hospital right now or he is a goner!!" Mr. Cake nodded, "Yes dear! Help him into the cart, the poor thing must have been a shipwreck survivor." The two kind ponies pulled him off the beach and onto their wagon cart. His eyes slowly pulled themselves open, as he glanced lazily around a hospital room. His jolted awake as he gasped, panting for breath. He was shocked to be still alive, but the big shock was about to come walking in the door. The door flew open as a yellow stallion came in, looking to be some kind of doctor. Leon gasped again, "Your a pony!!!" The doctor laughed, "Of course... You must have hit your head or something.." He held his head as small memories of a hellish place came back to him, he felt a hoove through his hair instead of a hand. His eyes widened more, as he discovered a unicorn horn on top of his head. He grabbed a mirror, and it was true, he was unicorn, only reacting with a gulp. The doctor opened the curtains to a magical world, that Leon never thought could exist. Ponies with wings, flew through the air, and unicorns and regular ponies walked in all direction in a ginger bread style town. His eyes widened to the point of popping out, nothing in his entire life could ever measure to the shock of the sight. The doctor smiled, "Yes, your quite the lucky chap! When that nice couple Mrs. and Mr. Cake brought you here, you were half dead as it was. Your lucky to be even alive, now you might have a slight bit of memory loss, but that's ok, it will come with time. Meanwhile, the mayor of ponyville has offered you a place to live and all. Your quite the talk of the town, Well your all healed now, so get out of here you silly pony!!' The doctor and the nurses rushed him out of the hospital, as he pushed out the door. He gazed up at the sunny day as pegasus ponies flew over head. He got up off his flank and started to trout along the dirt path into town. He smiled big as this magical world had opened its doors to him, he looked around feeling a bit of peace and happiness wash over him. He looked to see a couple of mares, a yellow pony with orange mane and tail and a carrot marking on her flanks. And, a white mare with redish rosey hair and a rose on her flanks for markings. He looked puzzled and looked to his flank to see a yin yang symbol, it was interesting. The girls waved to him, smiling wide, he lifted his eye brow in confusion. They blushed and giggled to themselves, as he walked along not sure what that was all about. He bumped into a grayish with a brownish coat mare, and a scroll for a marking. She shook her head and looked at him, "Are you ok? You should really watch where your going?!" He shook his head and rubbed it, "Sorry ma'am!! I am just new here, so much to look at..." "Are you that Unicorn I heard was washed up along the shoreline a few miles away from here?" she asked him. "Why yes, I am actually," he smiled. "Well by the half of ponyville," she smiled and spoke in her smooth commanding voice, "I, Mayor Mare, and all ponies of ponyville welcome you to our little town!" He nodded, "Thank you so much." She smiled and began to walk away looking back to him, "Come let's get you settled in.." He followed her to a large ginger bread house and pointed inside. He walked in and looked around, it had everything a super intellegent race of ponies could ever need or want. And, strangly it seemed to be so homely, like he belonged here. He looked back to see the Mayor give a quick smile and walk off to let him settle in. He didn't know what to eat though, and his new horse stomach cried for food. But, what do horses eat, he had an idea, apples. He found some apples on the table and digged in, never had apples tasted so good. His new body was so large though, he seen other males, but he was quite bigger then them. He didn't know if that's a bad or good thing. He ate his fill and went to the window up the stairs. He opened his window and looked out, a bit of saddness crept in his heart, as he whispered, "I wonder who I was?" He sighed and spent the rest of the day trying to remember as horrible images of his former life flashed in his head. A girl reaching out to him in blackness, a horrible monster destroying the world, a universe torn by war. He clenched his eyes and head with his hooves, the images are just too horrible. He watched the sunset in the distance, not sure if he will ever get home, when he saw her, a beautiful flying white horse with a unicorn horn. Her mane and tail flowed like water in the air as she elegantly flew over the sunset. Her mane and tail was multicolored and truly amazing. He gasped and smiled wide as she brought a rainbow in the wake of her arch, like saying goodbye to the sun. Then another one showed, a black and blue mare, almost like her yang, flew over head as day slowly turned into night with her passing. Leon couldn't believe his eyes, true harmony and unity, night and day dancing in the sky. He put his head on his hooves and watch the two beings dance and play in the sky. If this was what heaven was like, then he should have died alot longer ago. He sighed as he grew tired and went to his bed, crawling in. He quickly went to sleep, finding his small measure of peace, that we all seek, but few find. He has a dream, though, "Leon Kitsune," a man smiled, covered in robes, "You have come so far, and yet, achieved so little." He felt a sharp pain in his stomach as the white robed unknown man stabbed him in the stomach. He coughed up blood, as he heard a girl he never saw before scream out, "FATHER NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" His eyes widened as he screamed awake. He quickly realised it was morning, and that was comforting. "It was only a dream," he smiled. He got out of bed and headed down to eat some more apples, then headed out into the streets. Ponies everywhere, it was comforting as well, he was finally, in a place where he felt like he belonged. He trouted off toward the center of town to explore, when he noticed a little candy store known as 'Sugar Cube Corner.' He proceeded to walk in and he noticed the couple he only caught a glimpse of the other day. They gasped and dropped, literally what they where doing and looked at him. "Uhm.." he smiled, "Hey ya'll?" He smiled wide, feeling awkward, they smiled back, too. "We are happy to see your..." Mrs. Cake began.. "The doctor said you wouldn't last the night is what my wife was saying..." Mr. Cake interupted, "I am Mr. Cake and this is my sweetums Mrs. Cake." "Thank you for saving my life," he smiled, "I owe you big time, how may I repay you?" 'No no!" Mr. Cake replied, "Just what we do, no need to repay us, and if you feel like you do. Then you can always come by and help if you like?" He nodded and smiled then came in, when he noticed a pink mare walk out of the back room. She was smiling wide and party balloons on her flank. She was bouncing around singing a song about cupcakes, it was a bit of unsettling. But, to why, he did not know, she bounced toward him, and then around him. Her poofy hair bounced in the air as she kept singing over and over, he smiled a bit awkardly. He didn't know weither to be disturbed or scared. She jumped infront of him and sceamed into his ear drum, "CUPCAKES!!!! CUPCAKES!!! CUPCAKES!!!!" He was on the floor, as she stood over him, smiling wide. "Hello there!!" she shouted in her cute high pitched voice, "Are you new?!?!" She bounced more, "I love meeting new people." She gasped as her eyes went wide then she screamed, "Oh my gosh!! I forgot to tell you who I am!!! I AM PINKIE PIE!!! AND YOU ARE?!?!?!" He panted as he nearly had a heart attack, "I-I am Leon..." "LEON!!" she gasped, "That is a super duper awesome name!!!' She smiled bigger, "Hey do you want to meet my friends!?!?!" "Are they all like this?" he asked getting off the floor. "Naw!" she started speaking so fast he could barely undestand a word, "I am the only one who is always happy, and I love to bring happiness to everyone." She gasped again, "I KNOW!! I AM GONNA THROW YOU A WELCOME PARTY!!! COME TO THE LIBARY IN ONE HOUR!!!' She launched out of the door leaving Leon cringing in fear, not even the deepest pit of hell was that shit spewingly scary. He looked around as all the other ponies slowly looked away, realising he was still in reality. He walked out and continued on his marry way, watching out for the terror known as Pinkie Pie. He heard something in air, the classic whistle of a plane about to crash. It got louder as he looked up and saw a rainbow like streak of blurr raging at him. His eyes widened as he hit the dirt and a pony slammed right through a tree behind him. He gasped and raced over to her, grabbing her rainbow tail with his teeth then pulling out the sky blue mare. She instantly took flight in her boyish raspy female voice, "Darn it!! I was so close to doing a sonic rainboom!! Maybe I just need more height this time!!" She looked at him, then came in close, her body angled like she was on two legs, put her hoove to her chin. She looked him over, "Who are you?" "Leon," he smiled, sweating slightly, "Leon Kitsune, you?" "Rainbow Dash!!" she went up higher, being a pegasus and all, "The greatest flyer in all of Equestria!!" She turned and he saw a cloud with a rainbow lightening bolt for her flank marking. "Sounds pretty cool," He replied, "So why are you crashing into trees? If your such a great flyer and all..." She grunted and got in his face, "I WAS TRYING TO DO A SONIC RAINBOOM TO IMPRESS THE WONDER BOLTS!!" "The Wonder Who?" he raised an eyebrow. She gasped, "Have you been under a rock or something?!?! They are only the greatest flyers in all of Equestria!!' "But," he was puzzled now, "I thought you were?" She hoofed, "I am!!! I just haven't been noticed, yet!!" "Hey now!!" he replied, "No need for violence... Look, It was nice meeting you Rainbow Dash. But, I think I better go, I am new here afterall plenty of ponies to meet!!' "Wait you ain't going no where!!" she jumped infront of him, "I challenge you to a race!!" "NO FAIR YOU CAN FLY!!!" he growled. "I can beat you with both wings behind my back!!" she smiled at him. He got in her face, "YOUR ON THEN!!!" They growled at each other and glared, then smiled slightly. "First one to Sugar Cube Corner!!' she smiled, "Loser buys lunch!!' "Your on!!' he replied and they both got ready to race. A near by pony was counting down, she said, "5....4.......3......2.....1...GOOOO!!!!!!!" They both dashed off leaving nothing, but wind behind them. Leon smiled big as he felt so alive, then it hit him he was in a race when he saw rainbow blurr go by. He sped up, slowly catching up to her, she gasped as he ran backwards on two hind legs right beside her. "So you got any money?" he asked her, "Cause I like to eat a big meal!!!!" He laughed and returned to all fours when she pulled on by to his shock. He smiled and narrowed his eyes and raced even faster as the world turned to a blurr. She pulled away again, smiling at him, then sticking out her tongue. He pulled back up to her as she growled, and they were neck and neck the whole way. They saw Sugar Cube Corner up ahead, she stuck out her tongue to him and pulled into the lead. He laughed more, having a crazy idea, they were only yards away. He raced up to her as he looked at her smiling, she raised an eyebrow to him. He smacked his lips with her's, and her eyes grew wide, her cheeks went red as a rose. He pulled away from her lips, leaving her in the dust. She was in a state of shock as he blazed away infront of her and beat her to the finish line. She came dashing at him and tackled him to the ground then pinned him. She screamed at him, "YOU CHEATED!!!" He smiled at her rosey cheeks, "But, you liked it...." She gasped and looked around embarressed. 'Don't worry no one saw, I will won't tell if you don't?" She growled then softly smiled at him, "Sure.." "Come I will pay for lunch," he smiled. "No need to pay Leon," Mrs. Cake said coming out Sugar Cube Corner, "It's on the house today!" He smiled, as they both entered and enjoyed a lovely lunch together. They finish and go their seperate ways, he headed off to the libary to see if he can figure out more about this place. He knocked on the door and a purple mare came to open it, her hair is done a bit different way then the rest, with pink highlights. "Hello?" she smiled at him. "Hello," she was a very cute pony to him, he didn't know if that was his new pony instincts talking or something, though, "Yes, I am Leon and I am here to learn more about this world's culture!!" "Oh you must be Leon?" she smiled more, "Pinkie told me all about you" She opened the door completely, and gasped giving a bit of a blush, "My, your a big unicorn!! You look like my brother Shinning Armor, almost." "Did you say Pinkie!!" he gasped, "IS SHE HERE!?!" "Yes of course!' she smiled, "I am Twilight Sparkle!" Pinkie came racing out and bounced around him before she could finish. Leon gritted his teeth in terror as she sang another song, this time about friendship. "PINKIE!!" Twilight growled, "Don't scare our guest!!" She froze then smiled, "Ok, oh the party! Come in Leon!" Pinkie raced inside like the wind as he was in the feddle position. "Thanks Twilight," he said coming up from his feddle position, "She scares me..." "She has that affect, but you learn to love her..." Twilight smiled, "Come in, we have been waiting for you." "We?" he walked in, and saw a whole bunch of ponies. An orange cowboy mare with yellow hair and apples for marking for her flanks. Rainbow Dash, was there floating in the air with a pink haired and yellow coated mare, with butterflies for her flanks. Another Unicorn with a white coat, purple hair, and dimonds for her flanks. Then to his joy, the two mares that he say flying in the sky earlier. The White one who was taller and clearly seemed in charge by the way she carried herself. Her voice was motherly and loving, as she spoke to him, "Welcome, to ponyville. I am Princess Celestia, and your name is?" "Leon..." he gulped and smiled, "Leon Kitsune your majesty." "It is a pleasure to meet you," she smiled deeply, "I hear you survived a shipwreck. If you remember who was on the ship, what ship it was, or how it happened? It would help in aiding the pain of any pony families that had lost someone on that ship." "Oh.." he remembered more of what happened, "With all due respect, I was never ship wrecked. I fell from the sky..." Celestia gasped as her eyes got wide, like she never heard of such a thing. "Well I for one want to know what happened then," the other smaller mare came from behind, "Hello, I am Princess Luna, sister to Celestia, and I demand you not speak such lies." "I was trapped...." he cringed in fear, "It happened so fast.." The memories came back like a wildfire, all the horridness included. So many worlds consumed, the very pit of hell, and that monster he saw in the depths of hell. He did not speak, instead his horse ears folded down, and he shivered. The other pegasus came down to meet him, "Are you ok?" Her voice was like a thousand angels all singing at once. "Yes I am," he looked away, Princess was forced by Celestia to back off him. "I am Fluttershy," she smiled to him. "I am Apple Jack," the cowboy mare came to his left to introduce herself. "I am Rarity," the other Unicorn came to him from his right. "And what is your name," they all asked at once. "I am Leon..." he smiled, feeling comfort, "Leon Kitsune...." "So Leon?" AJ smiled and interupted, "How ya'll liking this here ponyville? You look like you a mighty hard working stallion. If ya'll need some work come over to Orchard and I will find ya some work." He nodded and smiled, "That would be great!" "Oh, and if you ever need anything at all," Twilight came to him, "Just let us know." He nodded as Luna came to him and asked, "So if your from the sky, then that makes you not from here?" "Yes ma'am," he replied. "Well I for one," Celestia smiled and came up to the oppisite side of Luna, "Find him to be quite a charming unicorn. I am happy, on behalf of Equestria, to welcome you to my sister's and I's kingdom. I hope you find everything you wish here among us ponies." She turned to Twilight, "Twilight, I want you to help teach Leon more about magic." Twilight nodded hessitating at first, but she quickly obeyed. "You all been so kind," He said while smiling abit embaressed, "So, uhm, what's next?" "NOW WE PARTY!!" Pinkie Pie popped out of nowhere throwing her arms out in a fit of joy, as streamers magically flew out from nowhere. They all laughed a bit and the party started. Leon laughed and played like the kid he never could be. He danced and laughed for the first time in his life, he was finally happy. The night ended after awhile, and they all went home, including Leon. He yawned as he reached his tiny modest home, unlocked the door and entered. He went straight to bed and smiled in his sleep. > Episode Two: Top Gun > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friendship is Deadly Episode 2 Top Gun Leon softly awoke to knocking at his front door. He opened his eyes lazily and yawned loudly. He stumbled out of bed and knocked over his nightstand, while outside all could hear loud crashing sounds. Shortly followed by a chainsaw sound, then a cat screaming, and finally, with him coming down the stairs. "I AM COMING!!" he yelled. He opened his door and looked up to see Fluttershy softly smiling at him. He looked like a half dead zombie as he narrowed his eyes, "What?" "Oh!" she took flight and covered her mouth shy-like, "I am sorry I disturbed you. I was just wondering if you would like to come out to play today?" He raised his eye brow, "Uhm, its like.." He looked up to see it was barely dawn, as the sun was just teasingly touching the horizon. "Don't you have anything better to do? Like sleep??" She sighed, "No, I just thought you were a nice pony , that's all," She lowered her head and her ears. "NO! NO!" he yelled and flailed his hooves, then slammed the door as more disturbing sounds are heard from inside. Followed shortly by an explosion sending the whole house into the air slightly. Leaving a confused and scared Fluttershy, floating in the air at his door. He came back out panting, "I am sorry! I had to close a demonic time warp portal I most have opened in my sleep with my magic horn!" "A what?" she asked concerned trying to see inside his house. He blocked her as she'd try whatever she could to see inside. Then she looked at him with a puzzled look, "Uhm, so you gonna come play with me then?" He gulped, "Sure," sweating nervously. He joined her as they walked to a hill, and he guessed she wanted to see the sun rise. He sat on his pony rump as she landed next to him, both of them under a tree. He calmed down a bit as they watched the sun rise next to a mountain with a majestic castle perched on its side. He smiled as he looked to see how much Fluttershy glew in the morning sun. "It's magical isn't it Leon?" she turned to him, and her eyes widened to see him staring at her. He stumbled back and blushed, playing with his hooves, "Y-Yes!!! It is beautiful!!" "So I am gonna go and feed my animals," she smiled and lifted off into the sky. He dreamed of why he wasn't a pegasus pony, cause if he was, he would soar through the sky truly free. He saw the familiar pegasus pony Raibow Dash soar by. "HEY RAINBOW DASH!!!" He called out to her and she waved then did a barrel roll to him. She landed infront of him as she smiled brightly. "Hey Leon!!" she yelled, "How is your day going?" "Great!!" he smiled wide, "I know what I want to do today! I want to learn to fly!!" She gave him a blank stare, like the stare when someone tells you their pregnent and your the daddy, "You want to fly?" He nodded smiling wide, she was holding something back, he saw her lips trying to gulp it down. Tears filled her eyes, as she bursted out into the biggest laugh he had ever seen. She pointed at him, "HEY EVERYONE LEON WANTS TO FLY!!!! A UNICORN WANTS TO FLY!!!" She rolled onto the ground almost hyper ventilating from the shear laughter. She snorted as she laughed harder and harder, he felt his rage build now. He roared, "I WILL BE THE BEST DAMN FLYER EVER AND I WILL KNOCK YOUR RAINBOW BUTT OUT OF THE SKY!!!" She calmed down and looked to him, "And with what, your horn? I don't think a horn is very aerodynamic!!" She went back to laughing even more. "FINE!!" he yelled, "I challenge you!! I will knock out of the sky if it is last thing I do!!" She giggled and snorted, "Alright I will humor you, cause this is gonna be so hilarious!!" She continued to laugh as his face turned red and he stomped away. He went to Twilight's Libary, he knocked on her door. She came to answer and looked at him, "Morning Leon.." "MORNING!!" he growled and entered. "What is your problem?" she glared at him as he trouted by her and went right for her books. "Me angry!" he mumbled flipping through he books. Spike walked in and noticed the new stallion. "TWILIGHT!!!" he yelled and pointed, "There is a burgalur in our Tree!!" "Oh spike," she trouted over to Leon, "It's just my boy friend Leon!" "When did you get a boy to date you?" he screatched his head. They both looked up at him and then to each other, blushing a bit. Twilight explained, "No silly, he is my male friend!" "Oh," Spike still seemed puzzled picking up his scrolls, "I got those scrolls you asked for!" He rushed down the stairs and placed the scrolls on the table then headed for the door. He smiled, "I'll leave you two love birds alone..." He closed the door, leaving Twilight and Leon to look at each other. Leon smiled evily, "We should totally pretend like we are having sex and see if he is listening in!" She was at that time drinkng coffee, when she spat it out all over her book, "WHAT?!?!?" "Oh nothing," Leon boyishly giggled as he looked for a book on flying and spells to fly. "What are you looking for Leon?" she asked looking over to him. "Looking for something to help me fly!!" he answered. "Oh I have a spell for butterfly wings!" she came over to him. "Ewwwww" he replied, "I want to fly!! Not look like a girl!!" "Well fine!!" she snorted, "That's all I got and I ain't gots no more!!" He grumbled, "Fine!!" He smiled evily, "I will use modern science then!" He still remembered the strange military training on how to build things and was planning to build an air plane. He knocked on Fluttershy's door, and she slowly opened it to see him. She opened her door and came out to see him, smiling of course. She must like when he comes around cause she is always smiling when he is near her. "YOU!! COME!!! NOW!!" he grabbed her and stuffed her in a sack as she shrieked. He lifted the sack over his back and carried the struggling whimpering Fluttershy away to the Forest. He went inside and went into a cave that he scouted out earlier. He let her out of the bag as she shivered and whimpered more. "Please don't hurt me!!' she quivered. "I am not gonna hurt you," he laughed. "THEN WHY DID YOU STUFF ME IN A BAG!!" she yelled as a different side of Fluttershy showed. "Me no want anyone to know my plans!" he explained, "I need your help I am trying to defeat Rainbow Dash in a dog fight as a challenge. And I want to fly, so would you please help me?" "Of course I would," she smiled then that smile dissappeared into rage, "But, if you ever stuff me in a bag. I'll!!....I'll!!!" She roared at him, "SKIN YOU ALIVE AND USE YOUR ENTRAILS FOR JUMP ROPE!!!" She took flight and crossed her hooves, pouting, leaving a scared and shocked Leon, frozen in place. "Yes ma'am!" he looked to her and said. They began to work, Leon rolled out the design of a modern fighter plane, a F-22 Raptor, with a few personel modification. They start building, as Fluttershy welds sheets of high tech steel that Leon had Rarity search out with her mineral scanning ability. He used a miniature ion reactor, like the ones they used in his home world. They toiled through the night building a hangar for their new plane. Leon worked on armaments such as a paintball machine gun, and a real one. He made two kinds of ordinates, heat seeking missles of air to air, air to ground, and cluster. Each one came in live and paintball for safety. Fluttershy was a natural with blow torches and mig welding. Leon handled the science stuff, as the machine was crafted by strangely easy to find alloys. Leon figured ponies don't use them, so their free game in his opinion. The Ion engine was the energy efficient verision, it was easy to refuel. Morning came and they stood outside to set up their advance radar and support options. Leon knew he was going overboard, but he always believed in being overboard, always be prepared. Plus, he wanted to see the look on Rainbow Dash's face when she realised how screwed she will be when he unleashed his attack. They stood and marveled at their creation, a fully functional pony compatible F-22 Raptor with more guns then is physically humane. He climbed in as he put over his space combat helmet on, and it was capable of space flight, and he had no idea why he did that. He just thought is fricking awesome, if your gonna build a plane, you build a fricking rocket he believed. They do alittle dance on top of it, swinging their hips and holding hands dancing around in a circle. They got serious though as they jumped in and strapped in. FlutterShy spoke over the mic, "Leon what should he call this bird?" "We call it the Windigo!!" he started the engines as the machine hummed with the sounds of the engines. Fluttershy got out though and painted a demonic horse on the side with flames shooting from its mouth and flaming wings, as well as it just being mostly on fire. She got back in and smiled as she started up the weapon systems, he looked back and nodded. "All systems green!!" she yelled putting on her space combat helmet. Leon turned on their cyber link helmets, which tap into thought waves, so whatever they think, the plane does. Removed any control failure and reaction times. He brought the engines up to speed as he let go of the manual controls. He felt the plane start to roll , as they moved to the underground run way. He slammed on the throttle as the plane exploded forward, both of them sank into their seats, as the light at the end of the tunnel got closer and closer. They bursted out a mountain side as they hit mach 5 easy, going super sonic with no problem. "Do you have a solid copy on our target?" He asked. "Yes Big Bird!" she smiled as Raibow Dash is seen on screen relaxing on a cloud. "Good!" he yelled and made the plane bank left from its upper atmosphere position, that he had climbed too. He looked back as he spoke over the mic, "That UAV is doing good, worked better then I thought. How is our planetary satellite feeds coming along?" "All systems up and running," she replied, "Ion Cannon fully functional." "I can't believe we built this all in one night!!' Leon laughed, as he turned on some music. Some old heavy earth metal, he found in a device, that hospital said was his. Fluttershy loved it though, as they soared like a majestic hawk, "I like this song!!" "Its a classic!!" he smiled back to her, "You can't go hunting from above without some rock!" He held up his hoove to her, and she was puzzled. "Pound the hoove bro!!" he laughed. She pounded his hoove as they laughed, then it was back to business. Leon did a barrell roll, and then swooped up into a loopy de loop. "Alright enough goofing off, lets go get Rainbow Butt!" he pulled his plane into a hard right and down into a nose dive, at an angle aimed for Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash was completely unaware of the danger that was heading for her, as she took a morning nap. She heard something, like a faint roaring of a plane engine. but to her it was an alien sound. She looked around, then down, but nothing, she noticed a small shadow on the ground from her cloud though. She looked up, but saw nothing, then she looked at the sun, as she noticed something slightly blocking it. It got bigger and bigger as she could see flickering lights and paint balls pelted around her and flew by her. Her eyes widened as she beheld the winged steel beast sceaming at her, at speeds she only dreamed of. She squeeled and took off flying away, all while the plane changed course and darted after her. "I got blue boogie insight!" Leon reported, "Flutter DIe do you have a lock?" "Locked and loaded," she replied and fired a twin volley of heat seekers. Rainbow Dash screamed as she desperatly tried to get away, explosions of paint blow up all around. "Damn she is two small for our heat seekers to hit!" Leon cursed, "Switch to machine gun!" They fired a burage of paint balls at her, she reacted, however, and swooped down through Ponyville. Leon licked his lip as he hunted her down, screaming ponies ran as some are pelted by paint balls. She swooped up in a skyward dash, trying to desperatly get away from him. He did the same, with no trouble at all, she freaked out now. She went so fast she did a sonic rainboom, but it didn't matter, cause he pushed his plane to mach 7. She was screwed, but she kept desperatly climbing for her life. She reached the edge of space, as tears filled her eyes, she couldn't breath and it was so cold. She did a reverse arch and zoomed back down to the ground. Leon made his plane go into its hover mode, as it angled down and blasted after her. He had Fluttershy fire off more missles, all of which she kept dodging. She panicked and right before she hit the ground her wings flung out and she soared straight through Apple Jack's farm. Apple Jack was coming out of the barn with Big Mac, when they both saw a frantic Rainbow Dash racing at them. She zoomed right through the barn, they looked puzzled and heard something coming. They looked and saw the jet raging at them, they both screamed wide eyed, and then leaped for safety. The jet zoomed right through the barn, as AJ and Big Mac where frozen with shock. Leon lost sight of Rainbow Dash, as he turned to his lovely co-pilot, "Get me a thermal scan." She did what he said, as he brought the ship into hover mode and it was like helicopter now, majestically moving through the buildings. Ponies fled in terror as its jets hissed and spat fire to stablize. "AYE!! CAPTIAN I FOUND HER!!" she interrupted the silence, "She is hiding on city hall!!" "Good!!" he banked left and turned on alittle device as the plane became slient, then slowly fadded away into nothingness. It would make a wind as it passed over, but not a sound. It was a special stealth mode he added just for fun. Rainbow Dash could feel her tiny heart almost beating out of her chest, she looked around the corner, nothing. She sighed with relief as she came out of hiding and talked to herself, "I lost that thing, whatever it was?!" She wiped her brow off of sweat, but if she had been looking she would have seen the flickering and shimmering of something that was invisible, creeping up on her. The plane materialized right infront of her, and she felt something drop from behind her, but she didn't want to know what her body just did. Her eyes widened as she waved innocently at the plane and the two pilots waved back. She gulped as she slowly and innocently took flight, the plane's nose turned and followed her. She rounded it, and then took off only leaving a cloud copy of herself. The plane banked and blasted away after her. She flew to Canterlot, meanwhile, Pincess was writing to Twilight. "Dear faithful student," she said to herself as she wrote, "I heard from spike you had a boy friend, how wonderful. I wish to meet your new companion on my next visit by the end of today. I am so proud of you, your loving teacher Princess Celestia." She sent the letter on its way and went away from her writing pedestal to her thrown room. She saw Princess Luna, and they greeted each other, "My dearest sister. "Hello," Luna smiled, "How is your day big sis?" "Fine," Celestia nuzzled her smaller sister, "Your's?" "Wonderful!" she replied, jumping for joy, "Ponies are actually starting to like me and the night I bring." "That is wonderful dearest sister!" Celestia smiled. Suddenly the two sister heard a strange sound. Princess Celestia replied to it, "What in Discord is that sound?" Princess Luna shrugged in reply. Then Rainbow Dash came flying in, looking back and screaming out in terror as she flew through a the other window. The jet came roaring in hover mode, as it panned right and left, but no sign of its quarry. The sisters looked shock, their mouths hanging low. The nose of the plane aimed to the ceiling as the cap of the nose split apart. It reveal a laser cannon . It charge dark red, and fired off a beam red into the ceiling. Debris fell to the ground hard, and the machine rose up through the hole in search of its prey. Leaving, the two ponies deities to wonder what in the name of Equestria just came in their castle. Shinning Armor came busting with a battering ram, "MY PRINCESS'" He rushed to them, and looked at them puzzled. They just held that face of shock as he waved his hoove infront of them. "Oh crap!!" he face hooved himself. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash went into a nearby canyon to try and escape her pursuer. The jet came roaring at her, as the two pilots rocked out to some hardcore music. They head banged and did the air guitar to some death core. They hoove pounded, and Leon took aim, as the desperate Raibow Dash tried to escape. He used his targeting system, when he heard a mysterious male voice say, "Use the horse Leon..." "What the hell is the horse!?!" he yelled out confused. "DAMMIT JUST TURN OFF YOU DAMN TARGETING COMPUTER!!" the voice demanded. "Alright mysterious cameo I will never understand!!" he smiled as he gave his serious face and turned off his targeting computer. "Sir," Fluttershy spoke out, "Your turned off you targeting computer!!" "Its ok!!' he smiled wide and evily, all while Rainbow Dash desperatly tried to escape, "I have you now!!" He saw a flicker from the sun and the Wonder Bolts came soaring in. He looked to his 3 o'clock high and saw them, "OH SHIT!!!:" Rainbow Dash smiled and screamed, "THE WONDER BOLTS!!" They raged at the jet like a comet at, he screamed out, "FLUTTSHY USE THE ION CANNON!!!!!" A beam of blue light came from the sky and the Wonder Bolts are hit by an Ion beam. It dissipates to reveal three burned Wonder Bolts blinking in confusion. They screamed out in terror and flew off into the distance. "Now Rainbow Butt I win!!" Leon laughed as he locked on to her. She panicked and cried out in a deep voice, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Leon fired the missles and pulled away as the missles raged at her. She tried to out run then and out maneuver them, but it was no use. She screamed in terror as they flew right at her and exploded, covering her in red paint. She tumbled out of the canyon and spun to the ground like a fly that had just been swatted. Leon and Fluttershy swooped above her and hovered, they waved and soared off into the wild blue. Later that night, a knock is heard from Twilight's door, she came to open it and it was a dripping red Rainbow Dash. Twilight giggled a bit then bursted out laughing, while Rainbow Dash didn't seem so thrilled. "W-What h-happened!!" Twilight tried to ask. Rainbow Dash used her hoove to swish her hair back then asked, "Do you have any books on how to defeat a flying machines?" "Why do you ask?" Twilight replied. "Let's say.." she sighed, "I am not the only fastest thing in the sky anymore..." "Let me guess Leon?" Twilight asked in response. "Yes..." Rainbow Dash, "So you got anything I can get him back with?" "I been working on something," Twilight smiled and pushed a pulled a book down, causing the sound of heavy machinery to emanate from the floor. A part of the floor slide away, with a staircase leading to an unknown place. Dash gasped, while Twilight lead her down the stairs....... > Episode 3: The Boy Friend > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Frienship is Deadly Episode 3 The Boy Friend Twilight awoke from a deep sleep, and she then, rubbed her head to see spike, "Spike?" "Uhm Twilight?" spike held up a letter to her, "This came yesterday, but I saw you were busy..." Her horn glowed with magic as she proceeded to open the letter, and began reading. As she read, her smile quickly changed to blind terror. She looked at spike and Twilight screamed at the top of her lungs, "DAMMIT SPIKE!!!" She panicked and began going through her books. When she had an idea, "Spike, take a letter!!" "What did I do?" .Spike replied as he got out a scroll and quill. "Not now spike!" she snapped. "Dear Princess Celestia," she began, heading to the window, "I regret to inform you that the whole, 'Boy Friend' thing, was just a misunderstanding. I have only have a male friend that just happens to be a stallion, and I was merely using the correct term for it. I do believe it led to a misunderstanding. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle." Spike took the scroll and went to the window, then set it a fire, sending it when on its way. A few moments later, spike burped up a scroll, and then caught it. "Dear Faithful Student," spike began to read the letter, "I understand your shy about you new stallion. So I am coming to dine with you and your stallion. I want to see the stallion my student had caught for herself. I would have come sooner, but it would appear I had to be treated for shock when a mysterious flying machine wrecked my throne room. Anyway, expect me to be there, and you can send all the don't come letters you want. You have to get over being shy." He stopped reading when he noticed Twilight wasn't moving. He went to the front of her, and gasped, she had her jaw hung low. "Twilight!" spike shrieked and waved his hand in front of her to get her attention. She snapped out of it, "OH BUTT MUD!!! I GOT TO GET LEON TO DATE ME!!!!" She fainted, leaving an emotionally confused and shocked dragon to try and wake her. Leon opened his door as he walked out, dressed in his Sunday best tuxedo. He walked down the streets of Ponyville, as the girls melted in his wake. Other stallions wanted to be him, when he heard a sudden knocking sounds, and his shot awake. "DAMN DREAMS!!!!!: he yelled at the top of his lungs. He came down the steps and opened the door, "Twilight?" She smiled big, as her cheeks are rosy red, "Uhm! Heheheheheehehehe!" She kept giggling unable to talk, as she just kept smiling. "Leon I need your help!?!?" she cried and grabbed his leg, "I need a boyfriend!!!" His eyes widened as he gasped, looking down at the desperate mare. "Uhm actually," he replied as he rubbed the back of his head, "I think I have more feelings for Rainbow Dash.." "Rainbow dash is lesbian..." she lost that desperate face, and it was quickly replaced with a face of annoyance, "Please, I will like do anything." "I don't know Twilight," he looked around at the ponies staring, "I don't want to...." The ponies got closer, as if attracted to them suddenly. They all gave him glares, as if saying, a mob will form if you said no. "Alright Twilight...." he sighed and looked down. She jumped up in the air with glee, "THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!" She kissed him on his lips, as his eyes widened. The crowd did a group, "Awe!" "Meet me at my place for dinner my new boy friend!!' she said excited. She raced off, leaving him with a crowd of ponies in front of his house. He slammed the door and stuck out his tongue, "Ewww, and I don't even like Twilight, now I am dating her!!" He slammed his head into a near by wall over and over, "Must repress memories!!" He kept hitting his head, but it didn't work, "Not repressing so well!!" He grabbed his head and rubbed, looking around the spinning room. "Leon..." He heard an dark and sinister male voice, "Leon...." He looked around and heard nothing, "Come to the mirror Leon...." He went to mirror and saw in his reflection a strange black shadow in the back of his living room. He looked back, but there was nothing. "Oh Leon.." the voice went on and he turned back to it, "I had found you... A new world... FOR US TO DESTROY!!!" The mysterious form took the form of a monstrous black fox, as it broke through the glass. And, he screamed in terror as he shielded his face, but he felt nothing. He looked, there was nothing, but him on the mirror. He shook his head, grabbing his aching head, "Ugh, I hit myself too hard then. That's all.." He went to eat breakfast, and after he ate he went into the living room. But, something wasn't right, and then, right before his very eyes, the room blasted away into the crowded streets of a human city. People were running from an unknown danger, he could not see. As he looked up to the sky, it became clear, a flash of bright light. Then shortly followed by mushroom explosion, slowly roaring and rising in the distance. His eyes could nothing else, but just stare, the city was hit by the shock wave, as people and buildings are torn to ruins. People burst into flames, as they screamed out in terror, cars, buildings, melted in the intense heat of the explosion. Then beams of white light shined down from the sky, as the world turned to glass. "Was it worth it!!!" he heard a female voice speak out from behind, "Was it worth for them to die, I hope your happy. This world burned because you let your anger rule over your actions!" He dared not look behind him, he only merely closed his eyes. He opened his eyes again, the room was normal now. He shivered at the images he just saw, thinking now he was insane. He walked over to the door and left to have fun today. But, today was different, it was cloudy, and as he saw pegasus putting clouds in the sky. He saw Rainbow Dash and called out to her, "HEY RAINBOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!" "Oh hey Leon," she flew down to him and flapped her wings, then punched him in the face, "That was for the other day!!" "OK!! OK!!" he said as was about to be punched so more, "Oh! Twilight said you a lesbian?" "Oh!" she blushed and giggled, "Naw, more bisexual actually. But, anyway you asked what we are doing?" He nodded and she continued, "The schedule said we have rain. So, we got to get the sky ready for some rain..." "What?" he looked at her puzzled, "You mean you make the weather instead of letting it do it naturally?" She gasped and flailed, "Don't say such scary things!! Weather working on its own is forbidden!!!" Leon did not say anything, he saw something in corner of his eyes. "Hey what's that?!" he pointed to something black running behind a building. Dash looked to see, and she saw it, too. They looked at each other, then chased after it. They rounded the corner, and saw a strange shadow run off into the forest. Leon started to give chase, when Rainbow Dash stopped him by jumping in front of him. "Are you crazy?!?!" she yelled, "That's the Everfree Forest!!" "So?" he asked. "It's a dangerous place," she went on, "Not safe for ponies at all!!" He jumped around her, "Come on Dash, where is your sense of adventure!! I will race ya!!" She smiled seriously now, "Oh a race, huh?" She leaped next to him, and yelled, "READY!!! SET!! BYE!!!" She bolted off before he even knew what happened. "HEY YOU CHEATED!!" He yelled and dashed after her. "Just a little pay back for the other day!!" she yelled back to him. The two dashed into the woods, as they gave chase the mysterious figure, that zoomed through the air like a black blanket caught in the wind. It fled about a mile into the woods, when the woods came into a field. It stopped in mid-air and opened up, like a parachute. The two stopped in their tracks and gazed at what it was. It was messed up, the skeleton of a fox, but a bipedal one, and it dripped black liquid as it covered its body like liquid flesh. It roared loudly at them, as its eyes opened into red glowing flames. Its tail was liquidity, but every time it moved it, you could see the black bones. It materialized into a solid form, a full fox on two legs. They heard it speak, a very dark and raspy voice, "I will take your souls and grind your bones into dust!!!" It roared as black flames rose up around them in a massive circle, blocking all chance of escape. The sky shimmered as a black light cased over them in a dome shape. The beast had put a barrier to block any chance of their escape. Dash and Leon growled at the being as it floated gracefully off the ground. Its mouth opened, "LEON I COME FOR YOU!!!" Black whip-like vines shot out like spears at him, he only had seconds to react. He leaped away as the spears slammed into the ground, causing a loud explosion. Dust kicked up as he landed by Dash. It laughed, and then roared into a howl. It floated slowly to the ground as it looked at them with evil intent. "What the Equestria is that thing?!?!" Dash yelled. It had no form as its limps seemed to just dangle like a puppet on a string. "I don't know!!" Leon replied, the beast just kept starring at him. "But, it wants me, not you!!" "Come with me!!" it laughed, "JOIN US AN ETERNAL DARKNESS!!" It rushed at him at super speeds. Leon gasped, for within a blink of an eye, it was in his face with its leg reared behind it. It punted him in the chin with a loud thud, sending Leon flying. It vanished into thin air, and reappeared behind him. It slammed its fist into his back in mid-air. Leon slammed to the ground in horrible pain, he cried out, as tears filled his eyes. He rolled onto his back, when a foot slammed down on his chest. He looked up to see the beast glaring at him, "Your power... It is gone.... What a shame... I was expecting the power of a god, and I get the whimpering of a mortal..." Its arm turned into some kind of cannon, as it then aimed it at his face. He couldn't move, looking death in the eye. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!!" he heard Rainbow Dash yell out. The beast looked up and is instantly kicked away by a blue streak. Leon got back up as he watched her buck the monster into the air above him. He aimed his horn, at the monster, its mouth opened wide upon seeing him. He fired a beam of magic at it, hitting square in the chest. He unleashed even more magic, and the ground exploded up into a pillar, rising at the airborne monster. Dash raced to Leon and joined him on the rising pillar. The two held up their hooves and raced for the beast. They collided as the creature screamed out in pain, feeling their hooves penetrating through its chest. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" It screamed as its heart is pierced through, and it exploded into a black cloud. Dash and Leon broke through the barrier. Dash grabbed Leon and picked him up into the sky. They flew as far away as they could, all the way back to Ponyville. They landed panting hard, looking at each other, then laughed while rolling on the ground. "THAT WAS AWESOME!!" Leon yelled. "Yeah!!" she replied and they pound the hoof. "Did you see the look on that creeps face when I bucked his face in?!" she laughed. "Yeah!" Leon wiped a tear from his eyes, "I bet he won't mess with us ever again!!" He stopped laughing, and then smiled at her. She did the same, and they hugged each other tight. "We make a great team," Leon broke the silence of their hug. "Yeah!' she smiled, "Hey you want to hang out?" He sighed and remembered, "I can't I have a dinner date with Twilight." He hung his head low, wishing this whole thing would end. "Your dating Twilight?" she asked and looked at him a bit sad now. "Yeah," he grunted and looked away. "You don't like her do you?" she asked. "No..." he mumbled, "She is not my type, and I don't want to ruin my friendship with her." "So why are you with her?" Dash asked. "It's cause she begged me to be with her," he sighed, "I don't know... Should I give her a chance?" Dash looked at him long and hard, then a smile krept on her face, she replied, "Leon, I think you should." Leon felt her hoof on his shoulder and he looked back at her. "I don't know why," she went on, "But, I think you should. She deserves at least a chance, a chance at love." Leon smiled, "Thanks Rainbow Dash your a true friend." "Any time you big lug!" she replied and punched his arm with her hoove. "Now go get her," Dash pushed him along, "Don't keep her waiting." He galloped off to Twilight's house, leaving Dash behind. "I may not like mushy stuff," she talked to herself, "But, I feel like I can truly talk about what I want around him." She flew off to enjoy the rest of her day, while Leon headed for Twilight's house. He made it, it was night now, he fixed his mane and tail. He, then, proceeded to knock on the door. Twilight opened the door with a great big smile on her face. "Hey my honey bear," she blushed and nuzzled his chin with her muzzle. "Hey Twilight," he replied and returned the nuzzle. She turned to go inside, and he followed, it started to rain outside. He looked around to see she had been hard at work to prepare the dinner. He sat the table on a wooden chair, while she walked to the kitchen. Another knock was heard at the door, and he looked at the door with surprise. She came out to open it with her magic, and to his shock Princess Celestia and Princess Luna stood in the doorway. They looked at him with a glare, and he smiled with a bit of sweat on his brows. They both entered with their heads held high, and sat at the other end of the table. Twilight soon joined, and then spike came out with the food. Celestia would not stop glaring at him, it was very awkward for him. Celestia broke the chilling silience, "So Leon... Your the lucky stallion to be dating my student am I correct?" Her voice was serious and some hint of anger. "Yes your majesty," he replied and held his head down. He looked to Twilight, to see she, at this point, was freaking out. "So how are you liking our world then?" Luna asked, she seemed to be calm and cheerful. For the first time, he actually wanted to be closer to Luna, then Celestia. He did not know why Celestia was very angry, but it must be bad. "It is lovely," he began, "I love it here and all it has to offer. I think I am staying for good, your majesty." "That is quite the good news," Luna replied with a smile. But, Luna looked to her sister to see her glaring, and Luna's face quickly turned to a frown. "Oh I am sure your enjoying all we have to offer!" Celestia replied. Celestia then sighed, "I am sorry Leon. I am in a bad mood today, I don't mean to take it out on you. It would appear something is going on, I felt something evil in my kingdom. I fear..." "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!" Twilight snapped, "I don't want to be with Leon!!" Everypony gasped at her words, as she pointed at Leon. "I only dating him," she snarled, "Because I am being forced by you Celestia!!" Leon pointed his hoof back, "I am only dating you because you forced me!!" The growled and locked horns as they then looked away and did a the classic sissy slap fight that only nerds could do. Celestia and Luna looked puzzled at them, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, Pinkie Pie burst in the door playing her instruments, and then everypony looked at her even more confused. "What?!?" She smiled and then continued playing. Then out of the clear blue Derpy burst in through the ceiling and smiled derp faced as everypony looked at her. "Hi guys!!" she yelled and flailed her hooves hanging from the ceiling. And then, the Tardis appear in the room by Leon as Doctor Whooves burst out and looked around, as everypony looked at him. He looked up and saw Derpy, "There you are!" She flew down to him as he continued, "Come on the future is in great danger!!" He grabbed her hoof and the both piled into the police box and it vanished slowly into thin air. Celestia and Luna looked at each other then to Twilight. Celestia looked to Luna, "Let's get out of here..." Luna nodded as they both headed for the door and left, leaving Pinkie, Twilight, and Leon behind. "Party time!!" Pinkie yelled and balloons and streams began to fall as the rest of the gang came rushing and danced to the music played by Pinkie Pie. Meanwhile, Celestia and Luna made a bee line for their carriage while in the back ground a a monstrous spike was destroying Ponyville. With the Wonder Bolts zipping around him like flies. To be continued.......
