It’s been a day since the group had their meeting. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Soarin, and Coach Iron Will were with Jack in the family garage, waiting for the others to arrive to work on Ms. Shimmer’s car. Flash and Thunderlane were to bring the replacement parts, while Sunset and her mother were to bring the car. With nothing much they can do about the main problem, it was business as usual. But that didn’t stop some of them from thinking about it. Applejack and Iron Will were two of them, and Jack was able to catch on to them.
“Coach, something on your mind?”
“Yea. The Tree of Harmony. What purpose does the Dark Star Organization have for wanting it if it’s in a realm that no one can get to?”
“That’s a good question,” replied Jack. “It’s strange enough for me to enter that realm with Sunset, but how is it possible to enter there through dreamscape?”
“Let’s hope that Twilight and the others have an answer about that,” said Applejack.
“We’ll find out soon enough,” replied Jack. “But I can sense that there’s something on your mind as well.”
Applejack let out a sigh. “It’s about that realm as well. If it’s a bridge-way between here and where people die, I’m just wondering if…”
“You would be able to talk to your parents again,” replied Jack.
“Yea.”
“I doubt it. It’s supposed to allow the souls of those who have the same gift that I have to be reborn, or so I think,” explained Jack.
“So it’s possible that there are others that have powers like you out there?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“That looks like it. And so far, we can guess that two more masters could have been reborn, but we don’t know who or where they are.”
“How come you never brought up about these masters at the meeting yesterday? Maybe Dark Star already got to them,” said Soarin.
“I doubt that. Besides, Master Luna wants to talk to Master Blades before adding that to the long list that we already have, if we can enter the realm of souls through dreamscape.”
“You still sticking to this master thing, right?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“She’s earned the right to be called master and take Jack in as her student. I think it is best to respect that,” explained Iron Will.
“Well, maybe it be best to keep the master stuff on the low end around school. No sense bringing more attention on yourself like you already have,” explained Applejack.
“Noted.”
Just then, they could hear someone drive up. Jack went over to look through the garage window to see who it was. He could see a tan car pull up to the curb and two people coming out of the car.
Applejack asked, “Is that Ms. Shimmer?”
“No. It’s…Mrs. Harshwhinny and…Gilda?” replied Jack.
Rainbow Dash let out a chuckle. “Figure she wouldn’t pass up something like this. Gilda was always into cars. Wanted to customize her own one day.”
“Too bad that she couldn’t focus on school work to make that happen,” replied Applejack.
“Yea, yea. I’ll go and check on them and see if that’s why they’re here.” Rainbow Dash left the garage and went to the living room.
In the living room, Mrs. Candle Heart was waiting for Ms. Shimmer to show up, hoping to have a nice conversation again since the last time they met. Whiteblaze was in the corner of the room, resting, but perked up when he hear the sound of the doorbell. Mrs. Candle Heart went to the door to see Mrs. Harshwhinny and Gilda at the door.
“Mrs. Harshwhinny! This is an unexpected surprise.”
“Forgive me for coming unannounced, but I figure this would be a good time for Gilda here to do some community service for the school, after what she did weeks ago.”
“I figure that was the reason for you coming here,” Rainbow Dash said as she walked in. “Gilda! Garage! Now!”
Gilda followed Rainbow Dash’s orders and made her way to the garage with her.
“I’m sure everything has been fine over here?” Mrs. Harshwhinny asked Mrs. Candle Heart.
“After what happen at the championship game, it’s nice to see things calm down. But seeing Whiteblaze here was a bit unexpected when me and my husband came home. I never thought he would have bonded with my son so soon. It does add some security to the home.”
“I’m sure he’ll be fine here. And thanks for letting us use your home to celebrate our school’s victory. After all the drama unfolded, we figure that the students would need some time to recover before celebrating,” Mrs. Harshwhinny explained. She knew the real reason for having the meeting there, but needed an excuse to make it happen.
Mrs. Candle Heart asked, “Would you be joining me and Ms. Shimmer when she gets here?”
“Thanks, but I need to keep an eye on Gilda and make sure she does her part.” Mrs. Harshwhinny made her way to the garage to join the others.
“So the reason you’re here is because you have to do some community service before you can return to school next semester?” asked Applejack.
Gilda sighed and replied, “Yes. Because of the damage I did to the school, I have to help out at Mrs. Harshwhinny’s request.”
“And this is just the first of several tasks,” Mrs. Harshwhinny said as she walked in the garage. “Plus, we need to get you up to speed on what we’re dealing with. I’ve only explained the basics yesterday.”
“It better be worth it,” replied Gilda. “I just gave up my gang to another girl, and now they have to take part in this…mission in secret.”
“As long as you follow her lead, then it will be worth it,” replied Jack.
I wasn’t long before they heard a loud squeal outside, as if someone had bad brakes on their car.
“I’m guessing that’s them right now,” said Applejack.
Jack walked over to the garage door opener and pressed the button, opening one of the doors in front of them. Right there was Ms. Shimmer’s car. And just pulling up was Flash’s car, which parked on the other side of the driveway. Jack motioned Ms. Shimmer to pull her car inside, which still squealed when she applied the breaks inside. Once the engine was turned off, both Sunset and her mother got out of the car. Flash and Thunderlane got out of the other car and went to the back to get the parts that were needed.
Gilda checked out the car and was surprised. “Wow! A Supra Mark II. And in dirty brown too. Can’t believe you still have something like this still running.”
“Well, it’s all I have for a ride.” Ms. Shimmer took a moment to remember who the girl was. “Gilda, right?” Gilda nodded. “You gave my daughter a hard time a few weeks ago.”
“Sorry. It’s just-”
Mrs. Harshwhinny placed her hand of Gilda’s shoulder. “There was some communication issues between her and the school. I’m trying to make sure she makes up for the damages that she has caused.”
“As long as my daughter doesn’t have to suffer again, I’m OK with that,” replied Ms. Shimmer.
“Mother, I’m going to be fine this time,” replied Sunset. “Besides, I have Jack with me now.”
“I know, I know.”
“By the way, my mother’s waiting for you in the kitchen,” said Jack.
“Oh good. It’s been a while since we talked. Are you going to be OK here, Sunset?”
She sighed and said, “Yes mom.”
Ms. Shimmer nodded and made her way into the house.
Jack was able to remember something. “Sunset, you told your mother about Whiteblaze?”
Just then, there was a scream from inside the house.
“Guess that answers your question,” replied Applejack.
Sunset sighed and said, “I got this,” and made her way inside the house.
In the living room, Ms. Shimmer had her back to the wall while Whiteblaze was nearby being friendly to her. Mrs. Candle Heart was trying to reassure Ms. Shimmer.
“It’s OK. He’s gotten along with my son.”
“B-B-But that’s a w-w-white tiger you have t-t-there,” Ms. Shimmer nervously replied.
As Whiteblaze walked closer to Ms. Shimmer, Sunset walked in and yelled, “Whiteblaze! SIT!!!”
Whiteblaze did what he was told and sat in place.
“Sunset, how-”
“Sorry mom. I forgot to tell you about him,” explained Sunset. “He’s close to Jack, and I think he’s gotten used to me as well so fast, since I’ve been with Jack often. Whiteblaze! Go to Jack’s room.”
Whiteblaze did what he was told to and ran up the stairs and into Jack’s bedroom. Ms. Shimmer tried to catch her breath after what she just experience.
“How about we talk about it over some tea,” said Mrs. Candle Heart.
“That…that would be nice,” replied Ms. Shimmer.
Both of them walked to the kitchen while Sunset returned to the garage.
“Everything OK?” asked Jack.
“Oh, just my mother freaking out. That’s all,” replied Sunset.
“I know I would freak out if a tiger just showed up out of nowhere,” Flash said as he was bringing in some car parts.
“At least this one is on our side,” Thunderlane added as he was bringing in some tools.
The guys placed the parts and tools on the work table, while the others started to prep the car ready for repairs. As Jack was about to close the garage, he started to sense someone coming. He went up to the doorway and saw someone on a motorcycle riding on up the road. The others could hear the motorcycle and joined Jack to see who it was. As it was coming up to the driveway, they were able to make out the signature goggles over the eyes.
“Is that Indigo Zap?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“Looks like it,” replied Soarin.
Once the motorcycle pulled up and parked on the driveway, The girl took off her helmet and lifted her goggles over her head.
“Yep, it’s her,” replied Rainbow Dash.
“Hey, am I early?” asked Indigo as she was walking into the garage.
“You’re just in time,” replied Jack.
“Good. I figure you could use another pair of hands,” explained Indigo. “Besides, Sugarcoat’s helping out with Twilight on that, what is it, dreamscape stuff?”
“That’s what she’s supposed to be doing,” replied Jack.
“Then how about we put all that aside and focus on my mother’s car. The brakes sound terrible,” explained Sunset.
Jack finally went to close the garage door, and the guys started working on the car. Iron Will went to lift the car with his jack so that Jack and Soarin can place the car stands underneath once that was done, Applejack and Thunderlane went to work on removing the wheels and break pads, while Flash went under the car with an oil pan to drain the oil. Rainbow Dash, Indigo Zap and Gilda went to work on the engine.
As they were working on the car, Sunset was sitting next to Mrs. Harshwhinny, thinking a lot about what has happened in the past months.
Mrs. Harshwhinny looked at her and asked, “You OK?”
Sunset looked back with a worried look on her face and said, “Kinda. I mean, look at what has happened in the past months. I was just a villain when the semester started. Now, I’m supporting one of the biggest stars in our school. Maybe beyond.”
“I wouldn’t go that far,” replied Jack.
“Jack, you’re one of three masters who gave their lives back at that temple many years ago. That’s why you have these powers that made you who you are. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am now.”
“Forgive me for asking, but who are these masters that you’re talking about?” asked Gilda.
Mrs. Harshwhinny explained. “Based on Jack’s report while he was in the Realm of Souls, there was a temple somewhere that housed people who have powers that involve a person’s soul. One day, they were attacked by a group called the Dark Star Organization. Everyone who had this gift were captured except for four. Three of them were masters who died in the attack. The fourth was a student who escaped. Anyone else that didn’t have this gift were killed.”
Gilda asked, “And this person that escaped was…”
“Miss Luna’s master and friend. Master Blades,” Mrs. Harshwhinny responded.
“How come he was the only one who escaped?”
Iron Will explained. “A solider from a black ops group was given sanctuary in the temple after seeing what the Dark Star Organization was doing to kids during the Great War. My father was also part of this same black ops group when he was young.”
“And I’m guessing that there’s no record about any of this since you mention about a black ops group,” Gilda responded.
“You catch on fast,” replied Iron Will.
“Some of the boys like to play Call of Duty at times,” explained Gilda. “I just like to watch.”
“Well there’s a good chance that the other two masters could have been reborn, but we don’t know where to look for,” explained Sunset.
“How come it wasn’t brought up in the meeting?” asked Gilda.
“Yea. Shouldn’t we be looking for them?” Rainbow Dash added.
“You want to go and ask every living soul if they are a master? Be my guess,” explained Applejack.
“Hey. What if Dark Star already has them and is looking for Jack? What then?” Rainbow Dash responded.
“Right now, our first goal is returning to the Realm of Souls,” explained Jack. “Once we’re there, we might be able to get some more questions answered, including the other masters. So for now, let’s focus on getting this car fixed. There’s nothing we can do about it at this time.”
But as they were working on the car, Gilda decided to ask another question.
“I’m just curious, but what can these powers do?”
Jack explained. “It’s called soul resonance. It allows me to detect another person’s soul, or more likely, their feelings. Anger, pain, sadness, suffering. Anything negative.”
“What about happiness, or excitement. Just like that one girl…what’s her name?”
“You mean Pinkie Pie,” Rainbow Dash responded, which Gilda nodded. “I don’t think it works like that.”
“But it can let you detect others that you can’t see nearby,” explained Indigo.
“So it can act like an anti-stealth system?”
“As long as it has a soul,” Sunset responded.
“Yea, but the ones that raided the temple were soulless machines, right?” said Applejack.
“Automatons,” Jack corrected. “And yes, that how the temple fell to them.”
“You mean there were robots back then?” asked Gilda.
“More like magical puppets, I think. And it was a soul eater that controlled them,” explained Sunset.
“Dang. This just keeps getting weirder and weirder,” Gilda responded. “But going back to your powers. What else can you do?”
Jack explained. “Well, with the help of the Soul Arts, I can do things that can’t be normally done by any human. Run faster, become more accurate, enhance strength, even shift my body from one point to another.”
“As long as you’re not dizzy in doing it,” added Indigo.
“Wait, you mean you can teleport?” Gilda responded. “Cool! I bet you can get into any building.”
“Not really. It’s more like traveling at the speed of light for a short distance,” explained Jack. “I can’t go through objects.”
“Can I ask you something? What’s it like to soul shift?” asked Indigo. “I can’t remember how it happens except for the fact that it happens.”
“It’s more like time slowing down from my view. At least when I use the soul arts that require a soul shift,” explained Jack.
“So you can control time, right?” asked Gilda.
“I guess,” responded Jack.
“Then do you think that you can control reality itself? I mean make things do what you want to do?”
“I doubt that’s even possible, Gilda,” said Rainbow Dash.
“But think about it. You can rob a bank without getting caught. And you can take down the police when they try to stop you.” Everyone stared at Gilda. She raised her hands and said, “Not that…I would want to do anything like that.”
“Wait. Maybe she’s on to something.” Flash came out from under the car with the oil pan. “Oil’s drained.”
“Good. I can start working on the oil filter. Hand me the oil pan.” Indigo took the pan from Flash and begin working on the oil filter. “Now what is it that you were about the explain?”
Flash explained. “Well, think about it this way. What if you can do something like that. I mean, having that kind of power can be deadly if it was in the wrong hands. Wouldn’t Dark Star do something like that?”
“What? You think they can invade our nation that easily? Good luck with that,” explained Thunderlane.
“But what if they can do that? Remember? Think outside of the box,” explained Flash.
“Look. If they did invade long ago, we wouldn’t be here in the first place,” explained Thunderlane.
“Not really.” Sunset got up from her seat. “Think about it. When the axis group was on the verge of failure, Dark Star decided to disappear. They laid in hiding until the attack at the temple. And right now, they could be tied with Crystal Prep. Maybe with Starlight Glimmer as well.”
“So some of them could have invaded long ago without us knowing it?” Soarin asked Sunset.
“It’s possible. And they could be finding a way to create new soldiers.”
“If they think I’m going to work for them, forget it,” said Indigo.
“You don’t have to,” Sunset responded. “All you need is anyone who would be loyal to Dark Star. Look. I now control the Talons, which means they have to be loyal to me.”
“Be careful what you say,” said Gilda.
“Just go with me on this. The Talons are like Dark Star. You give them powers like Jack and you have the army needed to make it happen.”
“But we know that they have yet to perfect these powers. Long Shot was proof of that,” explained Rainbow Dash.
“That’s where the students of Crystal Prep come in.”
“Of course.” Indigo explained. “With our school being perfect at the time, they would have to believe that it’s perfected. But they need a wider base to test our powers.”
“And that’s where the basketball tournament comes in,” said Applejack. “It’s like the apple farm. You can’t prove that you have the best apples if there are no other apple farms out there. What good would that be to say that you’re the best.”
“And with other schools like in Manehattan and Fillydelphia, Crystal Prep can’t really be the best in the nation unless you face them,” explained Sunset.
“Then I guess we’ll find out when we face them in the tournament,” said Indigo.
Rainbow Dash let out a chuckle. “Well, you’re going to have to get past us first.”
“You think you can beat us? Good luck.”
“Hey. After what our football team did to yours, we can do anything.”
“Really. You can’t have Jack on your team, so how do you think you can win without powers like his?”
Sunset looked at her left hand and saw the scar that was made back then. “Not unless I join the team.”
“Sunset, I don’t want to be rude, but you don’t have powers like Jack’s. And I’m not even sure you can play basketball as well,” explained Rainbow Dash.
“I may not have powers like Jack, but I have played some basketball back in the 8th grade,” said Sunset. “And Flash knows it.”
“She’s right about that.”
“Plus, this might be a good time to learn more about Soul Link,” said Sunset.
“Well, if Sunset plans to try out for the team, I might as well do the same,” said Applejack. “Besides, we need trusted players to help Jack out with his mental training. Who else but the three of us to do it?”
“I was hoping you would finally try out for the team,” said Rainbow Dash.
“Don’t think I’m doing this for you,” Applejack said to Rainbow Dash. “We have bigger fish to fry, remember?”
“Yea, yea. I know.”
“Well, once we enter the Realm of Souls, we can ask Master Blades how it can truly work,” said Jack.
“Let me call Miss Luna and tell her what we just discussed. I think the idea about his powers affecting reality would be something to look into.” Mrs. Harshwhinny got up and left the garage for a moment.
Just then, Jack’s cell started to go off. It was next to well Sunset was sitting at. Sunset went over to look at who was calling.
“It’s Fleur.”
Jack let out a sigh. “Must be guy problems again. Can you answer it for me? My hands are still dirty.”
“Sure.” Sunset picked up Jack’s cell and pressed the answer button. “Hello, this is Jack’s phone. Sunset speaking.”
“Oh. I sorry. Is Jack busy?”
“He’s helping out fixing my mother’s car. Do you need any help on something?”
“Well…it’s just…”
“Don’t worry. I’m sure I can help you with whatever is on your mind.”
“Well, I’m going out for an early dinner with Long Shot, and I’m trying to figure out what to wear. This is the first time I’ve been out on an actual dinner date and I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of him.”
Sunset showed a look of shock on her face. “That’s your problem!? You really have no experience with guys, do you?”
Jack asked, “What is it, Sunset?”
“Dinner date with Long Shot. Need to make a first impression.”
Everyone in the room let out sighs and groans.
“For heavens sake. You would think she would have it figured out by now,” said Applejack.
“Well, Long Shot is doing better since the big game,” said Indigo. “I’m sure he would want to take her out for dinner before basketball tryouts take place.”
Sunset asked on the cell, “Do you know where you’re going to eat?”
“I don think so. He wanted to make it a surprise.”
Sunset face-palmed after hearing that. “Gosh. I wish Rarity was here.”
“Did someone call my name?”
Sunset looked over her shoulder to see Rarity waking in, with Chrysalis behind her.
“Just finished up some fashion designs and took Coco back home. Decided to do the same with Chrysalis and figure I check up on you girls,” Rarity explained. “So what seems to be the problem?”
“Dinner date with Long Shot,” replied Sunset.
Rarity held out her hand and said, “Hand it over.”
Sunset gave Rarity Jack’s cell.
“Fleur? It’s Rarity. What seems to be the problem.”
“Going on a dinner date, and I don’t know what to wear.”
Rarity sighed “First Impressions. I totally understand. Do you know the location?”
“No.”
Rarity thought for a moment, then placed her hand on the mic. She whispered, “What can you tell me about Long Shot…besides being a health nut.”
“He can be a gentleman, that’s for sure,” whispered Indigo. Rarity gesture for more. “He’s works hard. How am I supposed to know. I don’t get into his personal life.”
Rarity rolled her eyes. She removed her hand from the mic. “OK. Just go with this. Remember what you wore when you tried to get Jack’s attention back then?”
“Yes.”
“Just go with that, or at least something like that in another color. And just be yourself. You don’t need to do anything fancy, OK? He’ll fall for your charm.”
“OK. I understand. Thanks.”
The call came to an end, and Rarity handed the cell back to Sunset.
Rarity raised her hands and shook her head. “Why is it that I have to handle a fashion emergency like that?”
“Because you’re the fashion expert, that’s why,” replied Applejack.
“Oh yea, that’s right. Well, as long as she doesn’t dress sexy.” She realized what she just said and closed her mouth.
Sunset raised an eyebrow. “Sexy? What do you mean by…sexy?”
“Oh, nothing,” Rarity replied quickly.
Sunset got up and looked straight at Rarity.
“Rarity? If you’re trying to hide something from me, I’m going to destroy all of your dresses that you’ve created at school and at home.”
Rarity tried to keep her composer, but broke down and quickly said, “Fleur sent Jack a pic of her in some sexy clothes just to get his attention.”
Sunset grabbed Jack cell again and started to look through it.
“Forget about it. I’ve already deleted it,” said Jack.
“I can’t believe that she would send you something like that,” said Flash.
“Well, we did exchange numbers back then,” Jack explained. “Did you or the others do that?” Flash and Thunderlane shook their heads. “Thought so.”
“Besides, Jack was a bit surprised at what he saw when he got it,” said Chrysalis.
Sunset looked at Jack and said, “Really? And how surprised were you really when you saw it.”
Rarity held up her cell to Sunset, which displayed the same picture of Fleur that was sent to Jack back then. Sunset looked at the picture and her jaw dropped as she was stunned. Jack saw this and face-palmed, remembering that he gave Rarity a copy of it. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Gilda, and Indigo Zap were curious to all of the reactions and decided to go over and look at the picture that Sunset was looking at. And all four of them were in the same state at Sunset.
“WOW!”
The girls looked to see Soarin behind them. Rainbow Dash tried to cover his eyes, saying, “Hey! You can’t see that.”
“And why not? She already tried to flirt with the others except me,” replied Soarin
“Because you’re a guy,” replied Rainbow Dash.
“If I didn’t know better, it sounded like you were jealous,” said Applejack.
“I’m not jealous.”
“I think you are jealous,” said Jack.
“I’m not jealous!”
“I think you really are jealous,” said Sunset.
“I SAID I’M…OK, we’re not going through this again.”
Everyone else laughed.
“See, they really do make a great couple,” said Thunderlane.
“Indeed so,” Flash responded.
“And what do we have here?”
The girls looked to see Mrs. Harshwhinny return to the garage. Rarity took her cell and placed it in her purse.
“Nothing,” replied Rarity.
Mrs. Harshwhinny raised an eyebrow. “Nothing? Looks like someone decided to grow up a bit too fast.”
“Just a misguided mistress that tried to flirt with me back then,” replied Jack. “Nothing more. Sometimes, I wonder why I keep getting caught up in these kinds of messes.”
Mrs. Harshwhinny sighed and said, “They all grow up so fast. And to think, we were nothing but trouble.”
Iron Will let out a small laugh. “Yea. You’re busy fighting for woman’s rights while Iron Will is fighting for our freedom overseas.”
“And then we’re burning bras while you guys are getting drunk. How times have changed.”
“True. But now, we could be on the brink of another Great War. And Iron Will isn’t fit to go into battle again.”
“Then we have to do all that we can to avoid one,” said Jack.
“Then let’s hope that Miss Luna and the others can find some answers for us,” Mrs. Harshwhinny explained. “I talked to her about what we discussed. She’s going to talk to Twilight and Sugarcoat about this theory. But don’t expect an answer soon.”
“Sugarcoat can be a heavy thinker. I’m sure she’ll figure it out,” said Indigo.
“Well, if everyone is doing well, I’ll be on my way.” Rarity started to walk out of the garage, but stopped and whispered into Sunset’s ear. “If you want to impress Jack with something that Fleur has, I’ll be happy to help with that.”
“RARITY!!!”
“Gotta go.” And Rarity left the garage and out of the house.
“I swear, that girl can be trouble at times,” said Applejack.
“Well dud. She’s you friend anyway,” said Rainbow Dash.
“True, but there are time when I wonder what goes through that head of hers,” said Applejack.
“You should know. You tried to pull a few Rarities on me before,” said Jack.
Sunset started to stare at Applejack, to which she reacted.
“Hey, that was before he started to help you out, OK?”
“Fine. Now can you please finish fixing my mother’s car before we get sidetracked again.”
So the guys went back to making the repairs on Ms. Shimmer’s car. When they were done, Ms. Shimmer came into the garage and started it up. It sounded better than before. She thanked the others for what they did and decided to take Sunset home with her. All the others started to pack up their things and left the home, except for Indigo, who was sitting on her bike. Jack was leaning on the wall outside next to the garage door.
“It was nice to do something together, just like old times,” said Indigo.
“Yea. But I have a feeling that there’s something on your mind,” Jack explained.
“I’m just wondering. Having all this power…why would anyone want to do something like this?”
“Experiment on others to find the perfect soldier? I wonder the same thing. What’s the purpose in all this?”
“I don’t know, and I don’t like it. Being some test subject is not how I wanted to live my life.”
“Speaking of which, how’s Long Shot doing? He’s taking Fleur out on a dinner date, so he should be fine.”
“He’s normal, that’s for sure. But as for his powers, I won’t know until I practice with him tomorrow. With tryouts being this Thursday, we try our best to practice together. Did so last year. But with how Principal Cinch has been acting last week, and what you told me about her having another soul, things are getting really tense at Crystal Prep.”
“Well, keep your guard up, girl. You and the others will get through this.” Jack raised his hand in a fist. “Never give up. Never give in.”
“Always fight til the end.” Indigo did the same and fist bump Jack’s. “Can’t believe you still remember that motto.”
“You created it, remember?”
“Yea, yea. I know.” Indigo placed her goggles around her eyes and put on her helmet before starting up her motorcycle. “Well, I’m off. I’ll keep you posted if anything happens.” She backed up to the road, waved back to Jack, and rode off.
Jack looked as Indigo went out of view. Then he looked up to the sky.
“Twilight, I hope you and the others have something that can help us.”
