//------------------------------// // Scroll VII // Story: Path of the Six Ponies // by Prismfire Productions //------------------------------// They all appeared on the other side of the portal in the Golden Oaks Library all in a pile and hit the floor with a thud, waking Spike in the process. "What is this this place?" The curious shinobi asked in unison. Twilight smiled. "This is the Golden Oaks Library. I work on my studies and live here. If anypony wants a book, they come to me. That reminds me, Rainbow Dash the latest Daring Do book came in yesterday and I need it back in 3 weeks." She then handed Dash the book, which sent her into a happy crazed dance. "Alright! I've been waiting for 2 months for this to come in! You will have it back before it is due, since you know when it comes to Daring Do, once I open the book, I don't put it down until I finish it. Heck, I might take this to work to finish it quicker and I promise you that you will have it back in ten days flat." Dash replied. "Oh I know that I will have it back then and that you will take really good care of it. I was just simply reminding you of the deadline, that's all" Twi said in a librarian manner. "Umm. Twi? I hate to interrupt, but am curious, what exactly is that thing?" Ino asked while she pointed towards the corner. "Oh that is my dragon friend Spike. He is my magic assistant, but he also helps around the library, and sends letters between me and Princess Celestia." No sooner than Twilight said that, Spike, who was in such a state of shock and confusion he thought he was still sleeping, burped and a royal letter was produced and stunning all the ninja. Twilight snatched the letter with such speed it impressed Rainbow Dash and then proceeded to read the letter outloud. Dear Twilight Sparkle, I have sensed that you and your friends have safely returned to Equestria. I also have picked up on some kind of new energy, so both me and my little sister Luna are wanting to investigate. In order to avoid a public panic, we will be coming to you as we are also eager to know where the portal leads and what adventures the six of you had while in the other world. We would also like an update to see if there is a threat to all of pony kind, and if there is, what kind of action must be done to defend ourselves. We both look forward to our meeting and should be arriving shortly after this letter. Sincerely, Princess Celestia Twilight's mane fizzed and her eyes widened in shock as she went into a panic. "THE PRINCESSES ARE COMING HERE! Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Suddenly, there were 100 Twilight clones in the room. "We need to clean up, you know what to do clones. We cannot disappoint the princesses so I want this place spotless." "I would love to see her again." Both Minato and Kakashi thought to themselves as they watched Twilight's clones putting on a show in front of them by getting in each other's way. "Now we get to meet her sister as well." As soon as a clone put the last book in place and she deactivated the jutsu, a bright flash engulfed the room just as Twilight calmed down and returned to normal. When it subsided, there stood the two royal ponies. All of the ponies bowed and, to Luna's shock, two of the humans did as well. Those two gave a hint to the other humans to do the same, which they all did. "'Tia, how did those two know to bow to us? 'Tia? Sister? CELESTIA PLEASE ANSWER ME!" She said that last part in her royal Canterlot voice, making the Mane 6 cover their ears and the ninja cower in the corner. Celestia ignored Luna and just stood there like a deer in headlights. "Min...Minato? Is that you?" She asked completely stunned. "Yes it is Celestia, it truly has been awhile." She smiled slightly at his answer then turned to the other shinobi that bowed. "Your presence feels familiar...Have we met before? You seem like an old friend." "I am indeed an old friend..my sister is your student." He slyly replied. Celestia's jaw dropped so much it would have hit the floor if it wasn't held in place. "Kakashi? Is that really you? You have aged so much since the last time I saw you." "Yes Princess it is me, and it has been about 50 years Kohona time, that is why I'm so grown up and aged." "Looks like you got your wish after all my old friend. You wanted to visit Equestria before you died. I told you then that I would not make any promises and yet here you are. I sensed back then that wouldn't be the last time I saw you, and I was right." She then turned to her sister. "Lulu, please introduce yourself to my guests of honor. Kakashi and Minato are honorary citizens afterall...or did you forget?" Luna's eyes widened and she slightly gulped at being put on the spot. "I'm sorry sis, but I did forget... I have been preoccupied with my royal duties afterall." She turned to the shinobi and slightly bowed. "I'm sorry for my manners and for startling you with my voice, my name is Princess Luna and I am the Princess of the night and am in charge of raising and setting the moon. Pleased to met you all." "And for those who do not know me, my name Is Princess Celestia and I am the Princess of the day and am in charge of raising and setting the Sun. I am the older of us two sisters." All the ninja then introduced themselves, completing the greetings, afterwards Twilight spoke up. "I am sorry teacher, but for the best protection I could give you, Luna, my friends, and all of Equestria, I have been keeping a secret hidden. In light of the current situation at hoof, however, I am going to reveal it now. Hidden technique: CHAKRA CLAN LIMITBREAK JUTSU!" Both Luna and Celestia were shocked at the shear power the little unicorn possessed. Twilight then explained her secret training and what that jutsu did. She was surprised when the sisters thanked her instead of being mad. "Thank you Twilght for making us stronger, now it is time for a secret of ours to be reviled as well." They said in unison. A flash took up the whole room, and when it died down, everyone was stunned. There, on Twilight's back, was a pair of Pegasus wings. "Congrats my dear student, you are now Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship. I knew all along this would be your destiny, but I was just wait for the right time to tell you." Everyone bowed to her, but Twilight got upset. "I do not want to be treated any differently than how I already was. The only thing different about me is that I now have a set of wings, so do not bow to me." Everyone in the room then immediately apologized. Celestia admired her student's compassion before speaking again. "Oh, before I forget, would all you ninja come forward please." They all stood up and bowed in front of the two princesses. "In order to prevent any public disturbance, I am going to make you all pegasi. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy will teach you how to use your wings and even you Twilight could learn from their lessons. Now stay right where you are while I cast the spell." Her horn started glowing a soft green and in just seconds, the ninja were turned into pegasi and after a few hours of training, which left most of the ninja bruised and Twilight having to heal a broken wing, a stomach was heard. After a few minutes of hoof pointing, they found out it was Luna's. "Guess I'm getting a little hungry." She chuckled. "I think we all are, and right now I got a sweet tooth." Twilight said. "Also, since you were the last one through the portal, you have to pay Tsunade. Celestia, Luna, would you be joining us for a snack?" "We never pass up a free meal and we can talk more over it." They said in unison while grinning. "Good, and since now that is settled, everypony follow me, I know just where I want to go." Twilight then lead the group out the entrance while Spike was left in a daze. "Man this is some dream. I hope I remember it when I wake up so I can tell Twilight about it, then again she probably won't believe it when I tell her. Oh well, I am going to tell her anyways." He muttered then drifted back off to sleep dreaming about Rarity.
