Episode 6: Double Trouble

EPISODE SIX

Titan had come up with a plan of his own to help weaken the seal round his planet faster, increase his powers quicker, and possibly cripple Starfleet, and neither he nor his minions would even have to create a monster this time.

“What are we gonna do?” asked Rep Stallion.

Titan explained that from what they knew, of all the Starfleet members so far Lightning was the one who always delivered the finishing attack that destroyed all their monsters. This made his minions catch on fast. “So it’s Lightning we must focus on the most.” said Dementia.

“Yes” Titan said “Without him, his Starfleet unit should be easy to overpower. Not to mention the astonishing might he possesses would make a fine increase to my own power.”

The minions prepared to leave and capture Lightning, but Titan said “No! I have a better idea.” he said. The minions were confused “But my lord, what other possible course of action should we peruse then?” Mysterious asked.

He viewed images of Krysta. The minions caught on with Titans plan, and everyone shared a malicious laugh.




It was another typical day in Unicornicopica, and Lightning and Krysta had gone back to the Library to catch up on their studying and research. Krysta, however, looked pretty glum about something as she looked through many, many books. “You are troubled, Krysta?” asked Inquerius “Is there nothing I can do to help you find what you seek?” Krysta simply smiled and said, “…It’s alright.” and then she would flutter off to search for another book.

Inquerius could still feel Krysta’s sadness and decided to ask Lightning about it. He was over at a table with most of his friends, Buddy Rose, Artie, Rhymey; even Starla was with them, all catching up on their studies, research, or just leisurely reading. “Lightning, have you not noticed Krysta seeming rather sad today?”

Lightning hesitated for a moment and then finally told them that this was normal for Krysta “She usually gets a little blue from time to time because she’s homesick.”

“Homesick?” asked Buddy. “Well, why doesn’t she just go visit her home then?”

“That’s just the problem…” Lightning said “She doesn’t know where her home is. She doesn’t remember what planet she came from or what her life was like before she met me. I don’t know where she comes from either. That’s why she sticks with me. We’ve been combing through the archives but we haven’t been able to find a thing about Fairies like her. Apparently they’re very scarce and not easy to come across to study around these parts.”

The others all felt very concerned.

“Being lost and forgetful is really bad.
It’s no wonder Krysta looks so sad.” said Rhymey.

“Lightning… how did you and Krysta meet anyway?” asked Artie. Hearing that made Lightning look pretty down and blue. “Lightning, are you okay?” asked Starla.

“I’m alright…” Lightning answered “It’s just… I really don’t like talking about this, it brings back horrible painful memories to me, but I guess I should tell you anyway.”

The others listened carefully as Lightning began to explain. “First off, you know that Unicornicopia isn’t the only place where ponies like us live.”

The others knew this all so well…


Unicornicopia was the birthplace of the original ancestors of Space-Alicorns, and the main base of Starfleet, but regardless, the planet had often suffered from the potential danger of becoming overcrowded, but all was not lost. The Grand Ruler had ultimately decided that as they were Space Ponies, and Space fighters, it was time to live up to their true name.

“The time has come for many of us to grow up and leave our cradle behind; to go forth and claim our place in outer space. There is a whole universe waiting to be explored, and we won’t discover it just by staying put.”

So, several Starfleet forces and civilians who were normal astronauts set off to explore the vast regions of dimensional space, locating other planets suitable to live on, or to explore and observe. By doing this they met other races of creatures. Some were bad and some were nice, some to help and some to fight.

By expanding their horizons, the space ponies found new allies with friendly races and helped to protect them from evil forces, and other Starfleet fighters would seek out the home planets of potential evil forces, and be ready to stall them if attempted to cause any danger. This way, if any chaos was to commence, at least it would not spread so easily throughout the galaxy and harm innocent planets. It wasn't always easy.

Still, some Space ponies preferred to live in peace and quiet, away from all the fighting. So they would live on their new worlds in quiet, live their lives and raise their families. Starfleet would often come to provide watch over these vulnerable worlds in case of enemy attack, but only if the people desired so. They would not be held against their will. Most planets were protected, while very few were not.



The others were all aware of this. “So, you’re from one of those other planets?” Starla asked.

Lightning nodded “I was born on the planet Harmonious.”

“I’ve heard of that planet.” Artie said “It’s supposed to be the most blissful known planets in the galaxy.”

“It was…” Lightning said, and he explained everything…



*Lightning’s POV*

According to my people's history, it all began a few centuries ago.

My family’s ancestors’ normal astronauts who sought to learn more of the Dimensional Universe we lived in. With Grand Ruler’s blessing, they left Unicornicopia to explore, and eventually found distant planet they thought would be peaceful to live in, and for all that time, it was. So blissful, beautiful, and prosperous, it was named Harmonious.

It had lush meadows and fields, and beautiful clear lakes as beautiful as one would imagine. My kind had lived for so long and lived in such peace and harmony, that they even stopped using magic all together, and eventually all the magic within them seemed to seep out of their bodies leaving them magicless, and all their future offspring would be born the same.


*POV Ends*


“So that’s why you can’t use magic. You weren’t born with any.” said Buddy Rose.

“That’s right…” said Lightning “Except for the uniforce and the Rainbow Rod, I haven’t any normal magic like you guys have at all, and I probably never will. That’s why my strength and speed are important to me.”

He continued on with his story…


*POV Resumes*

My life on Harmonious was beautiful and happy. I had two wonderful parents, a kind and caring grandfather who taught me how to fish, survive in the wild, and how to make fires and stuff. I had lots of friends too and I just loved playing with them every day at school, in the playgrounds.

Of course it was strange to me that I had a golden horn when nobody else on the planet did. Still, it didn’t seem to matter to me, or to anyone. Life was wonderful...

(3:40 to 6:00)

But one day, when I was five years old, the planet was suddenly invaded-- attacked by an army of swamp monsters from another world, led by a giant serpent-like monster. She was about twenty feet in length and she had huge teeth, razor-sharp fins, and red burning eyes. That demon tore through the villages as if she were searching for something, horribly demolishing and slaughtering everything in her path.

Sadly, Harmonious was one of few worlds not protected by Starfleet, as our elders believed we wouldn’t need such protections since our world was so blissful. With no magic or forces to defend ourselves, and no way to send for help from Starfleet, my home world was doomed.

I remember seeing all the buildings burn in flames, and the planet itself began to rumble violently. It was going to explode, and the evil serpent and her army decided to retreat while they still had time.

As the planet begun to breakup and combust, Most of the ponies were dead from being slaughtered and the rest were all burning away with the destruction of the planet, unable to get to safety in time. My grandfather and father were both killed, and my mother was badly hurt, but in her dying moments she had just enough strength to send me through a dimensional warp-gate the invaders had left behind.

It cast me off the planet to another planet near ours. I remember begging my mother not to do this and to come with me, but she couldn’t, no one could. There was only enough power for one, and after that, it had vanished.

I found myself flying across space on a magical pathway connecting both worlds. I landed safely on the planet I was sent too, and when I looked up I saw in the outmost horror and heartbreak; my beautiful home planet exploded in a mighty big bang. The force was so strong that is shook the planet I stood on, and when all had quieted down, there was no sign of Harmonious anywhere.

“…NO!!”


*POV Ends*


Lightning’s body was shaking as he clenched his teeth and shut his eyes tightly trying to hold in his emotions, while the others were all totally speechless. “You were only five?!” cried Starla.

Lightning nodded sadly “Yes.”

Buddy Rose and Starla felt like their traumas of losing their families were nothing compared to this. At least they were still given chances, but Lightning-- he had nothing at all! Not a single one of them could imagine how traumatizing it could be to see your whole world blown to dust before your eyes.

Lightning gathered himself together and continued his story…


*POV Resumes*

(Start at 2:50)

And so, I was alone...

I had no home, no family, no friends, and no magic I could use to help me survive.

I was forced to wander from planet to planet in search for a new home, but I found no such place. Everywhere I went, I was unaccepted because I couldn’t do magic, or others being scared of me because I had a golden horn, but I didn’t know why at the time. No would give me a chance. No one would let me explain myself, or answer me as to why they were afraid of me. So I pretty much learned how to take care myself, and remembering all the things my grandfather taught me, I soon became adept at fire-making, and fishing. I even taught myself how to properly use my wings and fly.

Two years later, when I was seven, my travels took me to another planet. One day. I was in a forest snacking on some fruit I picked from a tree, when suddenly I heard the sound of a tiny little voice screaming “HELP ME! HELP ME!” I followed the sound of the scream, and I saw a tiny little girl with wings; a fairy, trapped in a spider web and about to be devoured by a huge spider. I acted fast and crushed the spider with a stone, and then I tore up the web, releasing the fairy, and before she could overdramatically thank me, she noticed, “Wow! I’ve seen Alicorns before, but not one like you.”

I didn’t know how to take that, but I asked “What’s your name?”

“I don’t know-- Kry...sta… something… I just don’t remember.”

I noticed the fairy had a small bump on her little head. She obviously had amnesia, and could only remember a portion of her real name. So we were both lost and alone together now, but it became clear that I had made a friend.

Krysta and I wandered between planets together, hoping to find answers her past and a home for me. We did discover that Krysta was able to lift upwards of three-thousand times her own weight, equaling more than 650 pounds! It was incredible that someone so tiny could be so strong.

Then, one day, about three weeks later from whence we had met, we found ourselves on a planet filled with perilous dangers, and fierce beasts around every corner. We tried to run but soon were cornered by a huge gang of monsters. With no hope of fighting them off we would had surely been killed, but that’s when he came. The Grand Ruler, the legendary Tri-Horned alicorn. We watched as he used his powerful magic and warrior skills to drive off the monsters.

Then he turned to face us. He could see that Krysta and I were hopelessly lost, starving and in need of a good home. He also seemed interested in my golden horn and could sense that I couldn’t do magic like he could. He kindly reached out to me and said “Come with me to my world, you’ll be safer there.”

I was skeptical at first, but after he just saved my life and was kindly reaching out to me the way no one else would, I accepted, and we came to Unicornicopia. The Grand Ruler took me into his home in his floating palace. He was like a foster father to me, and I longed to pay him back for being so generous, and said he had decided to take me on his personal and private apprentice. He would train me himself. “A boy like you needs a master. Someone who can guide to a proper path. Let me train you, and I promise you will discover that you are capable of doing far more than you believe you can.”

For several years he looked out for me, he gave me normal schooling, but most of the time he put me hard to work, building up my muscles, working on my speed, dexterity, and other things through rigorous and excessive exercises; much like how I was told they do at the Starfleet academies.

I would dig through the grounds with my bare hands. Jog while carrying heavy solid objects. Go through workouts. I even went through a series of tasks with my master. I had to take a blue flag from his, last fifteen minutes in a spar against him without getting exhausted, chase him through an obstacle course, so many challenges; I felt he was trying to kill me. He even acted hard on me as test of my patience and courage to stand up to him and give me confidence. Whenever I screwed up or complained, he really let me have it!



“Enough, I can’t do it. I just can’t!”

“That’s not the right attitude, you’ll never get this flag from me unless you learn to think more positively and stop reacting to everything I do!”



After a long day of training, I was usually pretty worn out.


“You were slower this time, and your strength is pitiful. You disappoint me, Lightning.”

“I disappoint myself, master.”



Even during meal times, I was so tired and sore I could hard grab my utensils properly, and would try and eat with my hands, but my master angrily slapped plate away scolding me. “If you wish to eat like a dog I will serve you from a trough, but I doubt I am training a dog.”


At times I felt I was losing my patience with his harshness, and there were times I wanted to give up, but strangely there was another part of me that was more determined than ever to prove myself worthy of my teacher and foster father, whom I owed my life to. Krysta gave me confidence too, telling me never to give up and that I was one of the bravest creatures she ever knew.

So I kept on training, and as the years went by I began to improve immensely. I found that the training had made me stronger and faster than ever. I could break solid boulders in my bare hands, fly and faster than a projectile, and even leap great heights and distances without the use of my wings and I could lift up very large and heavy objects that I couldn’t lift before. I even began to succeed in my tasks. I got the blue flag, I lasted more than twenty minutes in a spar, and I managed to keep up with Grand Ruler through all the obstacle courses.

He was very proud of me, and we continued to train on. He even showed taught me how to dance, all kinds of dances; Ballet, tap, step, breakdance. That I really enjoyed, and it helped me to work on my footing and increase my evasiveness.

Then, finally, it had been well over ten years, and my basic training and education were completed. The Grand Ruler decided it was time for me let me start living on my own on the planet below and my new life began.

*POV Ends*



“Now here I am. I have new home, a new life, but no matter what. Krysta and I remained inseparable. I made a promise that I’d help her find her home and help her discover who she really is, and I’ll never give up.”

The others thought that was a very sad, yet sweet story. Still, the others now saw Lightning in a whole new way and felt sorry for his loses, but Lightning assured them it was okay. “I only wish there were a way I could help Krysta more.”

“You do…?
Aw… us too.” said Rhymey, and the others all nodded in agreement.



Krysta was sitting outside on a window ledge. She felt she had searched every book on worlds, locations, and histories, even all the books on fairies she could find, but no information that could tell her what she needed to know. “Who am I?” she asked herself for the millionth time. She began to have that sick feeling of losing all hope to ever finding her home and regaining her memories. She wasn’t really trying to complain or make others pity her. She loved being in Unicornicopia, and she loved being around Lightning and his friends, but sometimes she did feel out of place, being the only fairy in a world of all unicorns. Sometimes not knowing where she came from really got to her…

She felt like singing her blues away...

(Skip to 1:16)

Krysta sighed softly, but then something bright caught her eye. A small glowing ball of light floated softly around here, and said to her, “Do you wish to seek your true roots? Do you wish to know the answers you seek…?”

“Yes… I do.” answered Krysta. “Then follow the orb of light, and you will find what you seek.” With that, the ball of light began to fly away. Krysta couldn’t but feel that voiced sounded so familiar, but did it really know how to help her find her home? Krysta couldn’t’ pass up this chance, and followed the ball.




Pretty soon, the others had finished their reading, and most of the others left to get back to work and home. Lightning and Starla put their books back and looked around, “Krysta...?”

No response!

“…Krysta?”

No response!

“Where is she?” asked Starla

Suddenly, the alarms went off warning the land that there was danger lurking about. Lightning and Starla gazed at each other in shock, hoping Krysta wasn’t involved.

An announcement warned everyone that the danger was coming from Big Brown Canyon, and everyone was to head for shelter immediately while any members of Star Fleet were to investigate to danger-zone. Rhymey, Buddy Rose, and Artie were busy helping the civilians get to safety and told Starla and Lightning to go an investigate the canyon, and they promised to catch up as soon as they could.

“Starfleet Magic!” Starla and Lightning transformed and went on their way.

Big Brown Canyon: a rocky cliff terrain, with caves, mines, and everyone lived in stone houses and cabins. Starla and Lightning couldn’t see any danger as they flew overhead. So they headed land below and that a closer look. “Look at all these caves and mines.” said Lightning. Both he and Starla assumed the danger had to be inside, as Titan and his minions liked dark places. Suddenly, Starla noticed something by her front hooves. “What’s this…?”

It looked like a small map, and recently drawn, it also read…

“If you ever want to see to see your little friend again, enter the mine near where you found this map then follow its directions.”

Lightning’s anger began to show. “Krysta!” he shouted as he ran straight into the mine. “Lightning, wait!” called Starla, but then she heard a small crashing sound. Lightning came back out rubbing his head. “It’s dark in there.” he simply said Starla nodded and they both activated the night vision function on their visors, and Starla made her horn glow softly with magic for more light, and they went inside.

The walls were dripping with water, and the sounds of the splashes echoed along the walls. It was hard to see. “Starla, are you sure we’re going the right way?”

“No, but we have to be going somewhere.”

Down, down they went, through large tunnels, and down narrow paths. They didn’t even notice that two pairs of eyes were watching them through the shadows. Suddenly, they could see a light up ahead at the end of the tunnel, and they could hear voices. “Let’s go!” whispered Lightning.

Krysta was being held in a cage with crisscrossed bars so she couldn’t try to slip out. She was being guarded by all three of Titan’s minions who kept teasing at her and shaking her cage, Dementia even criticised the way Krysta’s hair was, and the way she was dressed. “Too bad I can’t say the same about you, yuck!” Krysta grouched. Dementia looked as if she was going to explode. “What… did you just SAY TO ME?!” She looked ready to blow the cage to pieces and Krysta with it. “Leave her alone!” shouted a voice. The minions turned and saw at the entrance of the chamber. “Lightning, Starla!” cried Krysta.

“…STAR SHOWER!” Starla shouted as she sent her stars to chase away the minions, but as Lightning tried to make a break for Krysta’s cage, when it levitated up higher. “Krysta!” cried Lightning. “Help me!” his friend shrieked. Then, there was more danger as he appeared before everyone, holding the cage in his ghastly hand. “Titan!” or rather it was another one of his puppets. “Oh, is this yours?” the evil sorcerer teased. Lightning had a look of such fury on his face. “Give me back my friend!” he snarled. “My, such a foul temper.” hissed Titan “There is so much more to you than meets the eye Lightning Dawn. I like that in a creature. So I tell you what; all you have to do is let me take your energy, and I’ll let your little friend go free.”

As if Lightning didn’t see that coming, and Krysta begged Lightning not to do it. “Don’t worry about me… just don’t let him get your power.” Even Starla, who was now being held hostage by the minions begged Lightning “Don’t do it, he’ll kill you!”

Lightning was aware of this, and that Titan would become even stronger and possibly gain all the energy he needed so he could really escape from his prison, and then Unicornicopia and all of the Dimensional Universe would be at great risk all because of him, but poor little Krysta; he would never be able to live with himself if anything happened to her and knowing that he had the chance to stop it and did nothing.

“I judge by your silence you’ve made your decision. Very well then, I shall settle for the energy of your little friend.” Titan hissed as he reached through the bars with his finger glowing softly, and ready to really hurt the helpless fairy. Poor Krysta was whimpering in fear. Lightning felt a small tear of worry for his friend fall from his eye. “ALL RIGHT!” he shouted, his voice echoed throughout the mine “…I’ll do it. Just let my friends go.”

Krysta and Starla were shocked and speechless, but Titan was pleased and sniggered sinisterly. “Good lad, I knew you’d see reason.” He then released Krysta from her cage, and trapped Lightning in a bubble cell. “No!” cried Krysta “Lightning!” shrieked Starla, but there was still nothing that she or Krysta could do. “They do not need to see this.” said Titan “Show them the way out minions.”

The minions bowed and began to drag Starla and Krysta away. “Come on!” snarled Rep-Stallion.

“Get moving!” growled Dementia

That’s when Titan gazed at Lightning inside the bubble. Lightning tried to break free, but his own training proved to be hardly a match for Titan’s magic, which was much stronger than ever thanks to all the energy he had been gathering. “It’s a shame that I must do this.” Titan said “You have been a most worthy nuisance, and I will miss our little encounters.” His hands began to glow and he zapped Lightning. Poor Lightning could feel himself growing weaker. Soon he would be no more. “Grand Ruler… I’m… sorry!” he muttered.

Suddenly, KA-BOOM! A big explosion blasted through the wall near where Titan was standing, causing him to lose concentration, and the bubble magic wore off setting Lightning free. He felt pretty drowsy though after losing part of his energy and lay flat on the ground.

“Who did that?” snarled Titan. “Show yourself!” That’s when a tannish-brown alicorn, poked his head through the smoke, and spoke in a Spanish accent. “You there…” he thundered at Titan “You’re a bad man, you are. No Me Gusta, I don’t like you.” Titan’s eyes glowed with anger. “You dare say such things at the mighty Titan?!” he looked ready to blast the living daylights out of the pony, when suddenly the pony ducked down, and then quickly poked his head through another opening. “Hola, Señor! You are looking for me?” Even Lightning, in his weakened condition was just as baffled.

Titan continued to fire more projectiles, but every time he caught the pony in his sights, he ducked down and then popped up somewhere else. This was causing Titan to miss and hit the walls of the mine, weakening the structures in the process. “Enough of this!” snarled Titan and he fired a humongous blast at the wall collapsing it into a pile of rubble and revealed to his and Lightning’s surprise, there were in fact two identical alicorns.

“Dyno…” said one to the other, “I think we are busted.”

“Si, I agree with you, Myte.” said the other.

Titan growled angrier than before. “You dare to deceive the all mighty Titan with such games?” he roared. “I’ll teach you both some respect!” He was about to blast them both hard, when suddenly, both Krysta and Starla came charging back into the chamber “…STAR SHOWER!”

“Blargh!” groaned Titan as Starla’s attack hit him, although he didn’t really get hurt. When Titan asked what happened to his minions, Buddy Rose, Artie, and Rhymey peered round the corner “They just got too cocky.” snapped Artie

“So we beat them quickly.” rhymed Rhymey

Titan was most annoyed, but suddenly the whole mine began to rumble and shake as rocks began to fall from the ceilings. All the blasting from Titan and the explosion made earlier by the twins had weakened the supports and the ceiling was caving in. “We’ve got to get out of here!” cried Buddy Rose but Titan was not going to leave without at least finishing off Lightning first. He approached the seemingly defenseless unicorn that lay on the ground.

That’s when Lightning gave a twitch. “What’s this?!” snapped Titan.

Lightning was beginning to find his strength again, and gazed at the evil sorcerer ferociously, and managed to slip from his grasp. “You never quit, do you?”

Lightning’s anger grew more and more intense. “You bet I never quit.” He said “I’d never let you harm my friends, and you may have weakened me a little, but you… haven’t stopped me… NOT YET!!” That’s when his golden horn glowed, and his body was illuminated in that golden light again.

“Look…!” cried Krysta.

“He’s doing it again!” added Starla.

The twin gazed in awe.

“No!” roared Titan “I won’t let you get me this time. The power shall be mine!” he reached out to grab Lightning, but he received a horrible shock upon touching him. “ARGH…!”

Lightning, then recited the magic spell…

“I summon forth a mystic power
To aid me in this darkest hour
Casting no upon my foe
I now unleash… this magical glow…!”

Titan got up from being knocked down and Lightning fired the “…UNIFORCE!”

“AA-AAA-AAAAAAHH…!” Titan was hit hard as the puppet spell broke; destroying the faker instantly so once again all that was left was a broken seal and a charred robe. Lighting stopped glowing, and felt really tuckered out now and collapsed from exhaustion. Buddy Rose scooped him up and carried him piggy back. The whole mine was breaking up now, and everyone dashed as fast as they could. “We’ll never reach the exit in time.” cried Starla

“Hey, you follow us!” called one of the twins. “We know a way! Hurry!” shouted the other. Heeding the twins’ word, the gang followed them down a secret tunnel and made it out safely through another entranceway.

“That was a close one.” said one of the twins

“Si, But at least we are all safe.” said the other.




The real Titan was sitting on his throne and feeling rather angry that Lightning Dawn had managed to beat his puppet once again. “No matter, it was well worth it.” Titan simply said as he gazed out at the weakening seal round the dimension. That small amount of energy he had stolen from Lightning and Lightning using the uniforce had expanded it immensely. At this rate, it would only take a few more battles or such to give him what he needed. “Your days are numbered, Lightning Dawn.”

The three minions exchanged sinister grins between one another.




Lightning woke up to find he was in one of the houses, with a warm fire roaring in the fireplace. Krysta was safe, and so were all the others and it was all thanks to their new friends.

“Glad to see you are alright, amigo.” said one of the twins.

“You gave us all quite a scare back in the mine.” said the other.

That’s when Lightning remembered everything that happened, including how he summoned the uniforce a second time, because he believed in himself and was determined to save everyone. Perhaps that was the key to how it worked? He would have to study some more.

The two twins introduced themselves.

"I am Dyno Enrico Sebastian La Guava. Code-number: IW8K."

I am his twin brother; Myte Roberto Diablo La Guava. Code-Number: JX9L."

Both from the planet El Mundo, another planet where space ponies lived and was patrolled by Starfleet. “We are the La Guava brothers.” They both said.

“La Guava?” Buddy Rose asked in near excitement. “Are you two, by any chance, related to General Alejandro La Guava?”

“Si, he is our father.” replied Dyno.

Everyone, even Krysta had heard of General La Guava, one of the greatest and noblest of Starfleet fighters ever, but here they were meeting his sons.

Dyno and Myte were the chief mining engineers of Big Brown Canyon, and were quite handy with mining tools, preferably explosives. “We’ve got every kind of explosive on the market, and a few we mixed up ourselves that aren’t.” said Myte.

They had also just graduated from the Starfleet academy and had only to earn their badges from the Grand Ruler for services rendered.

“So it was you two who gave Titan all that trouble and saved Me.” said Lightning. The twins nodded and explained they didn’t like it when others intruded into their mines and used them for no good, especially Titan. “He ever shows his face again…”

“…We blast him good.”

The gang began to wonder if the twins were okay as they seemed a little looney, but still, they were grateful for all they had done.

“And am I grateful as well.” said a voice. Everyone turned to face the door. “…Grand Ruler?!” they exclaimed and immediately bowed to him. They all wondered why he had come. “I heard everything from Buddy Rose.” he explained, and then he cast his gaze at Lightning. “You took a great chance today, Lightning. I must say I am rather surprised that you would surrender.”

Lightning began to feel upset. “Yes sir, I’m truly sorry! Now I’ve given Titan more energy.” His mentor nodded and explained that Titan was indeed growing stronger, and the seal was growing weaker every day, which meant he would have to work harder than ever to keep the seal strong. “I am glad you understand the seriousness of your actions Lightning, but I do want you to know how proud of you as well. For you were willing to give your own life to save your friends. I myself would do the same, just as many before you had.

You are a remarkable warrior, My brave pony.”

Lightning smiled and promised to try and avoid such situations future.

Then Grand Ruler turned to face the twins “And as for the two of you…” he clapped his hands together causing two sparkling waves to appeared and playfully circle around the twins, then flying at their armored vests and giving them official Starfleet Energizers with stars, and enchanting their armor. “You are now officially full-fledged members of the force.”

The twins almost didn’t know what to say. “Muchas gracias, Comandante.” said Dyno as he and his brother bowed to Grand Ruler. “Your excellency, you will find you have not made a mistake.” said Myte.

Grand Ruler nodded in agreement and knew the twins would make him and the planet proud, especially as he wished them to join part of Lightning’s unit, feeling the twins would be of a great help in increasing the teams power.

With Titan growing stronger, Starfleet would need to train harder and become more powerful than ever, and having more members was fine improvement. Krysta, however, felt really bad-- letting herself being lured into Titan’s trap leading to Lightning nearly losing his life. “No Krysta.” Lightning said “I know it looks bad, but I’ll be fine. Besides, you’re my friend. The best friend I’ve ever had, and I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

Krysta blushed shyly, and she pecked Lightning’s check. The two friends were happy to be safe and well, and Grand Ruler couldn’t be more proud of them both for realizing how important their friendship meant to one another, and since he had demonstrated what he learned before his eyes, he decided Lightning could skip writing his report that night.
