I hit the atmosphere of Equis without much turbulence, but scream in pain as the air resistance burns at my shield.

I manage to keep my shield up long enough to keep from burning to a crisp, and drop it once I was inside of the atmosphere safely.

I see that there is a layer of clouds covering Equis, and I unfurl my wings to fix that.

I close my eyes before flapping as quickly as I could to speed up as swiftly as possible.

Opening my eyes I can see the rainboom forming in front of me. I move my hooves in front of me to break the barrier, and retract my wings.

I squint at the wind, and watch the clouds get closer rather quickly.

Just on the edge of a Sonic Rainboom, I hit the clouds. The boom happens right in the center of the cloud cover, and I splay my wings, and slow down before pulling out of my extreme dive.

I keep my speed up to about 600 mph, and head towards my destination of Maripony crater.

The shockwave of my rainboom was just a few meters behind me, and I was screaming through the sky with a huge grin on my muzzle.

My rainboom faded away after a few minutes of flying, and I was nearing Maripony crater.

Putting on a burst of speed I climb back up through the clouds, and immediately dive to create another boom.

Another sonic rainboom followed behind me as I now flew at top speed to the crater that was before me.

Before I could get much closer I see a sky wagon leaving the crater, so I decide to follow it.

Still ahead of my second shockwave I flair my wings, and slow right up next to the small Pegasus mare that was glowing bright green. I quickly put up a shield from the radiation she was producing, and smiled to her.

She smiles back to me, and I see that she is a mutated pony, telling me that she was alive before the war.

“Do you have a unicorn named Little Pip?” I ask her. She nods, and points to her wagon.

I nod and ask, “May I speak with her?” Her head shakes before pointing up ahead to a covered wagon with four other ponies near it.

I look back to the mutated Pegasus mare, and see she is holding up a chalkboard with writing on it.

‘Wait over there, and talk to her friends.’ The board read.

“I shall be there then.” I answer before speeding ahead, and landing at the small camp that Little Pip’s group was at.

I ruffle my feathers, and adjust my armor before extending my wings, and looking at the group of four before me.

I see that they all have weapons pointed at me, well save for the Zebra, who was looking at me in terror.

“I am not a foe.” I say before folding my wings to me side. The group before me gasps from my words.

I lay down, and let my shield that I had up fall. This gets the attention of Velvet Remedy the most.

“Who are you?” She asks me.

“I am the Prince Artermis Eclipse, and I come bearing great news.” I tell her. I look to the metal golem.

“Relax, I have no ill intentions for any of you.” I say to it before I look up to the sky, and smile.

“You may want to cover your ears.” I say to them before my rainboom rushes over us all. The clouds being cleared away by the force of my shockwave.

I smile even more as I look to see that they were all looking up to the sky in wonder.

“A gift.” I tell them. The zebra looks to me in shock.

“You did this?” She asks me. I nodded.

“Yes, Equestria has been covered for far too long, and the fastest way to clear the sky-” I am interrupted by Calamity.

“Is with a sonic rainboom. Now, who are ya really?” He asks me with his battle saddle aimed at me.

“I have already told you who I am, but if you wish to know more then you will have to wait for Little Pip to arrive with the mutated Pegasus mare.” I say before standing up, and looking for the small wagon.

“Little Pip is alive?!” Velvet asks me.

“Yes, and she is going to be here soon.” I say before I am tackled to the ground by the metal golem pony.

“Tell me one good reason why I shouldn’t kill you right now?” It asks me.

“Get off of me and I will.” I answer with anger in my voice. Who I now recognize as Steel Hooves, growls before getting off of me.

“You’ve got 10 seconds.” He says with his cannons pointed at me. I sigh as I stand up again.

“I watched as the mega spells destroyed the land two centuries ago. I waited to be released from my prison, that I was wrongfully lock into, so that I could come back to Equestria, and heal what is now poisoned. I am the only true alicorn left, and I have come to help Little Pip in her quests to save this land from the darkness that has fallen on it.” I tell him. This seems to placate the golem pony, as he returns to his previous spot.

“I don’t believe you, but you haven’t given me a reason to kill you.” Steel Hooves says before sitting back on his metal haunches.

“Wait, if you’re an alicorn, then what ‘ave we been fightin’?” Calamity asks me.

“Magically mutated ponies that took the shape of alicorns. They were nothing close to the actual power of an alicorn though.” I tell him as I see the wagon carrying Little Pip land nearby.

“They’re here.” I say as I start on my way to the wagon. The others rush past me as I calmly walk to the Pegasus mare.

“Is she okay?” I ask the mare. The mutated Pegasus nods before detaching herself from the harness.

“Can you speak?” I ask her. In an answer she drops one of the chalk boards, and writes on it. I read what she writes, and growl at the cruelty she has suffered.

‘Raiders cut out my tongue.’ The board read.

“Hold still.” I tell her before lighting up my horn in a brilliant display of magic.

The mare’s eyes go wide before my magic washes over her. Her glow dies away swiftly, and her form slowly heals back into what it was before she was irradiated beyond her pony form. I left her immortality as it was, and healed the rest back into her original shape.

When my spell finishes healing her, I let go of my magic, and my horn stops shining like a beacon in the night.

I am left breathing hard as the young mare hugs me immediately.

“Thank you so much.” She says into my chest plate. I chuckle before placing a hoof around her, returning her embrace.

“No need to thank me.” I answer before she lets go of me.

“How did you do that?” Velvet asks me in shock. I look to the small group of people nearby, and raise a brow.

“I used one of the high powered restoration spells to restore her form to what it was before it started decaying. She will still be unaffected by radiation, and will still live as long as she wants to live.” I say before looking to the young mare that I had decided to come help.

“Little Pip,” I say to the young mare that was on Calamity’s back, “How are you fairing?”

“I’m hurt, exhausted, and I’ve come into contact with the taint again.” She tells me. I move towards her, and light my horn again, only this time without the big lightshow.

“Be still.” I say as I mend her body, and purge the poison from within. I see that the machine on her leg is fused into her skin, and decide to fix that as well.

My horn gains four layers of over glow as I separate the small device from her leg.

After the last pieces were mended back into place I cut off my magic, and lay down trying to catch my breath.

“There… now you… are better… again.” I say before trying to stand back up again. My legs falter under my weight.

“Rest Prince,” Velvet tells me, “you have done enough already.” She lights her horn, and I lift off of the ground.

“Let me be.” I say with a strong voice. She sets me back down, and I slowly stand up again, my strength already returning.

“I recover faster than anything else on this world, save for a full grown dragon.” I say as I ruffle my feathers again. Before anything else could be said I feel the ground tremor beneath us.

I light my horn again, and take to the skies once more with everyone in my magical grasp. Once we were all in the sky I look down to see a heavily mutated diamond dog burst from the ground.

I shoot a heavy bolt of magic at it, and it falls back to the ground, asleep.

“What was that?” I ask as I set us all back down. I place a shield over the ground that only I would be able to get through.

“That was a Hellhound.” Calamity says before Little Pip slides herself off of his back.

“Okay, who are you and wh-” Little Pip’s words get caught in her mouth as she gazes upon me for the first time.

“Little Pip, I am the Prince Artermis Eclipse.” I say to her as I fold my wings back against my sides.

“P-p-prince?” She asks in a high voice.

“Yes, and I have come back to Equis to assist you on your journey.” I tell her. She seems to be unable to understand this, and promptly faints. I sigh in frustration.

“Hey, we should go.” The grey Pegasus mare says as she points up to the sky.

I look to where she is pointing, and my jaw drops at the huge machine that I see descending from the sky.

“What in the moon’s sand is that?” I ask in awe before I see the giant magical weapons mounted on the huge machine glow with a sick green light.

“WE GOTTA GO NOW!” Calamity shouts before running over to the sky chariot that they had hidden.

“Where!?” I ask him.

“Anywhere that is not here.” Steel Hooves says before picking up Little Pip, and rushing over to the chariot, and jumping inside with Velvet, and the zebra mare.

“Prince, we gotta go.” The grey Pegasus tells me right before the weapons on the massive flying war machine up above us fire. I snap out of my stupor, and raise a shield to stop the magical blasts from reaching us.

“GO, I will take care of this!” I shout to the gold eyes Pegasus. She quickly hooks herself back into her wagon, and flees as fast as her wings could take her.

I look over to Little Pip’s group, and see the take off as well, so I return my focus to the massive flying machine, and launch up towards it with my horn shining with my magic once more.

I drop the shield, and fire my magic in a constant beam, and watch as it cuts straight through the machine’s hull.

I cut the machine in half before turning, and retreating with Little Pip’s chariot.

Looking back to the machine, I see it falling from the sky before it explodes with the magic used to power it.

Seeing this I teleport up next to the two flying vehicles, and wrap them in my magical field before teleporting away from the massive explosion that was now washing over where we just were.
