“Oh dear…” Fluttershy, Rarity and Cadance could do nothing else or reacting and differently by simply gasping in a both awe as well in a slight terror by seeing an X-Ray printed images being fixed on a large vintage X-Ray light board.
The high council consisting on Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Shinning Armor along with the Elements of Harmony, Peter, Twilight along with the rest of Harmony Avengers like Felicia, Sunset, Spike and even Spitfire, though with an exception and absence of Logan himself and Chrysalis, who was along with her Changelings a way too busy to re-establish their new hive, were all assembled within the quarters of a throne room of the Canterlot Castle on a special meeting as they all observed the X-Ray.
Although the reactions varied, everypony just shared a mutual awe by seeing on their very eyes on the X-Ray image of Logans entire, though a little changed ponyfied, equine like skeleton now being and as it had been mentioned more than several times by Peter, literally coated with a strange and unknown metal alloy. His skull, ribcage, shoulder bones, pelvis, including joints all over, everything was coated with it.
And then, they could also see and stare right on Logans very infamous adamantium claws, each pair being hosted on the mutant cannon hoof bones, yet strangely, there were something like holders like spurs on their other blunt edges, somewhat connecting the blades to his bones.
“Wow….” Rainbow Dash exhaled, yet her tone being wavering with a both slight excitement and uncertainty as well, finding herself staring. Even Princess Celestia and Luna, two Royal Sisters who had lived for more then several eons and seeing lots of different, unique and unusual things didn’t help themselves but being quite amazed by Logans Adamantium lacked skeleton, like they would never seen anything like it before.
“By stars….” Both Celestia and Luna simultaneously gasped with their voices being nearly above of a whisper by sharing their mutual awe, both having their royal violet and ocean blue eyes eyes centred right on the X-Ray images.
“Princess Celestia, Princess Luna.” Shinning Armor spoke off, addressing both Royal Sister with an utmost respect yet he had his eyes filled with curiosity fixed on X-Ray images of interest. “You have lived for eons and experiencing lots of unusual things. Have you ever seen anything like this?”
“Never.” Princess Celestia responded in a very dully like manner as Luna merely shook her head, sharing her sisters dismay.
“See it? Beauty, isn’t it?” Peter stated in a somewhat casual like way, being obviously just as amazed like his friends, yet young stallion cleared his throat a little bit by turning into a more professional side and stepping closer to the light board, having his hazel coloured eyes fixed on X-Ray images. “As you can all see and I also may repeat myself…The metal is an alloy called as Adamantium, supposedly indestructible. Being coated on Logans entire skeleton. Literally.”
“Yeah. We can see that, partner.” Applejack dully noted, yet blonde couldn’t react any differently in awe as the rest of everypony within the throne room.
“Yet….The alloy also appears to be perfectly matching and being perfectly aligned with every single of his joints and bones, so it doesn’t anyhow disables or limiting Logans movements. A promising work, I got to say. If it even can be said like that.” Twilight declared with her voice sounding low as she trotted her way to the light board joining Peters side, yet being filled both with awe and slight fascination alike.
“But then…..” Spitfire by carefully taking in and figuring out the whole case trailed off in a somewhat casual like way. “It makes Logans bones virtually….unbreakable.” The Princess of Loves offhanded statement though earned a couple of collected gazes from otherpony around.
“Yup.” Peter somewhat dully and offhandedly confirmed captain of Wonderbolts theory being actually right. “And more to the point, the Adamantium also weights up the blows and dramatically increasing Wolvies own strength. And I know…What I am saying, guys.” Peter muttered a bit offhandedly by recalling an unfortunate experience, when Wolverine once manged to land a sucker punch and temporarily even making a web-slinger dazzled before though casually blinking over Wolverines adamantium claws hosted on each of his cannon hoof bones.
“And eventually, there they are…..Logans infamous adamantium claws of course. Also being coated with Adamantium, therefore further having their razor-sharp edges enhanced and aside from being practically indestructible, these badboys are capable of cutting virtually any substance, from wood, other conventional material like metal and even stone.”
“Say, Peter…” Rainbow Dash though nearly squeaked quite with an interest and zipping over to the light board, having her violet eyes fixed on X-Ray metal blades of interest. “I have been wondering…..How does Logan actually controls them? I mean, that he just let his claws out and in anyway?”
“You know, Dash…..That is quite a good question.” Peter murmured by considering Pegasus by the way a very good statement indeed cautiously. “Yet though I just cannot be too sure, if I have to guess….Logan arguably must have a combination or special muscles as well as veins within his arms that somehow allows him to control his claws.” Young stallion though replied somewhat hesitantly, like actually not having much of an idea about Logans case with his claws.
“Like with felines for instance.” Fluttershy though intervened and despite her voice sounded awkward and shy as ever, a kind-hearted Pegasus sure had something promising to say. “Um….You see, cats along with tigers or lions have retractable claws. They just attach them into special housings within their fingers via an elastic ligament and in order to unsheathe them, their muscles within their fingers will pull the tendons back and expose their claws. And I believe, this just might be in Logans case as well.”
“You know, Fluttershy….You actually might be on something….I guess.” Peter praised Fluttershy for her very own logical statement, yet though sounding little promising, young stallions own demeanour didn’t turned any more positive much.
“Judging from your tone my friend, you sound somewhat sceptical about this thing about Logans Adamantium, don’t you?” Luna declared concerned, sensing and being aware of her best friends considering and somewhat uncertain demeanour.
“Well what would you know?” Felicia also added a little sceptically. “A pony with a large brain actually don’t have any idea.”
“Let just all keep it discrete.” Princess Celestia declared with her trademark polite and calm demeanour without losing her patience, exchanging quite a cautious look with Felicia before shifting her royal violet eyes to Peter. “What did you have on your mind, Peter?”
“You see…” Peter murmured and massaging his chin with his hoof. “In Logans case, this whole thing with Adamantium is little complicated.”
“Yet…” Twilight though spoke off by unwillingly interrupting her husbands speech as an idea sparkled within young alicorns mind like a firework rocket. “As much as this all looks pretty strange yet also fascinating alike….This still however, doesn’t quite explains, how exactly all that Adamantium got into Logans skeleton at the first place?”
“I conquer, Twilight.” Sunset Shimmer could do nothing but agree with Twilights pretty good and rather million dollars question. “It just….Cannot be that he actually could already be born with or like that. Its just…Impossible, both logically and naturally.”
“Gesundheit!” Spike scoffed yet somehow completing both mares point.
“By surgery.” Peter stated very offhandedly yet giving the best logical explanation he could, earning a couple of collective gazes of others. “I mean, that all that Adamantium, somehow, must have been surgically crafted into his entire skeleton. I don’t know any other logical explanation.”
“What?!” Rarity literally gasped in quite a horrified manner and placing her hooves over her mouth, her voice slightly wavering. “You mean….Like the work on the operation table, surgeons, scalpels and things like that, darling?”
Unfortunately, much for Rarity prolonged horror, Peter dully nod his head in agreement, confirming fashionistas theory right. “My theory is…..Whoever did this to Logan, they must have done serious job. First, they must have melt the Adamantium into a liquid like state and then, by keeping it under high temperature….Somehow injected it on Logans bones.”
“Oh come on! Who would ever want to do such thing?” Pinkie Pie offhandedly and rather obliviously called off, which by the way was a good point that also could be mention later.
Yet though, young stallions demeanour much for everyponys, including his wifes rather dismay somewhat darkened as an unfortunate and rather unpleasant thoughts came into Peters mind. “However….There is one thing for sure guys. And I am really sorry for saying this….NO ONE on earth would ever survive this. Not only the molten Adamantium would burn through and damage the tissue, but from what I have also heard, its highly poisonous, so inside the body….”
Peter would go even further with his explanation which by the way started look more like a spooky story, only to see his friends around him bearing both baffled and also slightly creeped out like expressions alike, with Spikes emerald lizard like eyes being as wide like two saucers, Rarity on the other hoof seemed to be even more paler then she usually as and Fluttershy was literally cringing with terror on the floor.
“And I guess I have already said more than enough.” Peter chuckled sheepishly, yet being obviously as disturbed like everypony else as well as knowing not better going any further with his theory as Twilight gently patted her husbands hoof, also prompting him not to do so.
“How could HE possibly survive the procedure like that?” Cadance dared to ask, yet the Princess of Love sweet voice sounded rather cautious.
“Via his accelerated healing factor of course, Cadance.” Peter replied cautiously, yet trying to turn a little bit about the subject and to explain further. “With his natural uncharted ability to heal rapidly and more effectively than ordinary human – I mean…Ponies from virtually any form of injury.”
“That….Might actually make a sense.” Sunset muttered with her voice wavering and being filled with uncertainty.
Young stallion paused a little bit before going on. “Yet….This also makes his age impossible to determine. Yet…It may sound ridiculous and it actually might, he could very well be older than Granny Smith herself.”
“What is he in tarnation supposed to be? Ninety?” Applejack blurted out totally dumbfounded, with a great part of the farmpony refusing to believe that Logan, who by the way looked like somewhere in his mid-thirties could actually be a way older than her parental grandmother or even Aunt May. Though, unbeknown, even Princess Celestia and Luna, two Royal Sisters alicorns who both lived for several eons seemed to be quite taken aback by Peters odd mention of Logans age, wondering yet also deciding to keep for themselves.
“But then…..” Fluttershy murmured incoherently, her shy tone wavering with uncertainty. “If that Adamantium is really poisonous as Peter puts it, how come that Logan….Can actually live with it within and without suffering any consequences?”
“I believe that Logans healing factor also might be the case, Fluttershy….” Twilight deducted logically by massaging her chin, despite her own town sounded rather hesitant. “By boosting Logans metabolism, his immune system must also be preventing the Adamantium from poisoning him.”
“As usual, your reasoning is totally correct, honey.” Peter praised Twilights logical reasoning as well as planting a soft kiss on mares cheek. “Yet as you mention it, Logans healing factor also grants him an absolute immunity to most toxins, viruses, diseases and drugs, though with an exception of those with extreme doses. For example….Its extremely difficult for him to get intoxicated from alcohol.” Peter stated somewhat offhandedly, chuckling sheepishly to see sceptical faces of others landing on him by Wolverines immunity mention. “Well….Really.”
“I don’t like this in the slightest.” Luna proceed cautiously with her demeanour usually so stoic and collective demeanour slightly darkening. “It….Its almost like someone would actually be experimenting on Logan….Just like that, without even considering our friends wellbeing.” The iron clad maiden stated with a cautious and somewhat apprehensive tone.
“Who did this to him?” Princess Celestia who already managed to recollect her senses a bit asked and closing her gap between herself and the lightning board a little bit, yet royal alicorns usually so gentle and deliberated voice was slightly wavering and having her royal violet eyes fixed right on the X-Ray images in awe.
“I don’t know, Princess Celestia.” Peter dully stated, shrugging his shoulders by having no idea, yet a more odder thought filled the knights mind. “Yet, what is funny or rather weird, Logan neither. According to Xavier, nor he doesn’t remember anything about his life before it ever happened.”
Once again, Peters odd mention earned him a couple of baffled looks from others. “Just what exactly….Or more likely, who is that Logan anyway? Besides that he is a superhero and the member of the mutant superhero team called the X-Men back then on Earth?” Shinning Armor asked a little confused.
“Yeah. Just like….What is his story anyway?” Rainbow Dash added, being frankly as curious as Shinning himself and the rest of her companions within the throne room.
“Where did he come from?” Pinkie nonchalantly added on rising questions.
“Hey, Peter.” Spike spoke off, addressing Peter with his voice sounding quite a hopeful. “You knew Logan well when you still were back on Earth?”
“Indeed, Peter.” Twilight completed Spikes point yet addressing her knight somewhat supportively. “You and Logan sure have been through a lot and you both have a history. You sure know at least something about him?”
Considering and confirming his wifes and baby dragons assumption, Peter dug deep into his mind by trying to reminisce his old good times back on Earth, as he and Wolverine teamed up on more than one occasion, together experiencing a lot, both good and bad and having a rather complex, sometimes tenacious and sometimes decent friendly relationship.
“You know guys…eghm…Princess Celestia…..” Peter though cleared his throat, addressing his friends and bowing to Princess Celestia with respect before trailing out. “There are lots of different superheroes with special and unique abilities, like Ironman with his high-tech armour, Captain America the super soldier, Incredible Hulk the strongest hero there is, Thor the prince of thunder…..But…..No one of these guys is like Wolverine. Literally. And yet further, when it comes to superhero origins, Logan might be rather totally way out of league in that case.”
“What are you saying, Spider?” Felicia asked, failing to quite comprehend with her partners statement.
“I am talking about Logans background.” Peter explained yet his tone turning into a rather thrilling one, like being about to narrate a fantasy story of sorts. “You see….Logan had always been rather odd and mysterious individual.”
Peters rather hesitant explanation once again left everypony standing around quite affected. “A mysterious you say, Peter?” Princess Celestia murmured, the confusion vocally present in her gentle voice.
“How much mysterious?” Twilight asked, by sharing her former mentors thoughts exactly.
“A pretty mystery man, actually.” Peter dully noted before going on further. “Inquiries into his past and his own persona serves only to raise more questions, a problem that leaves many puzzled as to exactly judge who or what he really is. Actually, sometimes he could even be considered a mystery to himself.”
“That much so?” Rarity murmured and shaking her head dismissively by hearing Parkers explanation that by the way was somewhat getting more and more thrilling about Logans so mysterious past.
“And what about Logans career or profession?” Spitfire though declared, her tone sounding somewhat hopeful.
“Good point there, Spitfire.” Twilight acknowledged and shared a respectful glance with the Wonderbolt captain before shifting her amethyst eye back to her knight. “Peter, there sure must have been some mentions or records about his professional back from Earth? Isn’t it?”
“Yeah.” Applejack confirmed quite promisingly, yet deep down a farmpony wondered slightly uncertain. “Whatever in tarnation this tough guy ever wanted to be when growing up?”
“That’s kinda weird, guys….” Peter stated dully yet not sounding much promising anyway. “Logans professional life as well as career is also shrouded in mystery. Though evidently….Judging from his trademark dog tags over his neck, he arguably and sometimes in his life, must have been serving in the army, as well as being somehow associated with various government agencies.”
“Something like a special or government agent of sorts?” Sunset asked.
“Exactly, Sunset.” Peter pointed fiery maned unicorns guess correct. “Yet and though I have never actually been curious, there was virtually no info about him in any database throughout the country, as well as his identity appearing to be secret to a local public.” Young stallions demeanour darkened further. “I am not even sure that Logan is his actual true name….”
“What does it mean?” Pinkie asked and titling her head on the side.
“I mean that his actual full name isn’t actually full at all. No surname. No titles. No ordinal name either. There is and always have been, only Logan.” Peter stated and dully shrugging his shoulders in no idea like gesture.
“More unusual things….” Princess Celestia murmured considering every single detail about Logan, her tone though being above the mere whisper as a steadily rising confusion was brewing within royal alicorn.
“Where did Logan originally came from on the first place, Peter?” Considering the matters cautiously, Twilight asked Peter about Logans possible origins at the first place in an attempt to find at least something about gruff stallions past.
“Yeah. Being the member of those X-Men, his teammates sure must have at least known something about him, right?” Applejack added, farmponys voice sounding both promising and hopeful.
Considering his wifes and his adoptive sister sensible leads, yet Peters thoughtful demeanour didn’t seem to enlighten much. “Well let me think…..If I remember correctly….Xavier along with some of his X-Men members found and saved Logan back then in the middle of snowy Canadian wilderness. He was just nothing but a wanderer, wandering from place to place and living up from participating from cage fighting.”
“A wanderer you say?” Fluttershy meekly exhaled by Peters mention of Logan being apparently a homeless wanderer.
“And…Cage fighting?” Rarity exhaled also in a slight horror with her lower lips quivering. “You mean, like those old days gladiatorial tournaments back in Canterlot? How barbaric!”
“I kinda like the sound of that.” Rainbow Dash exhaled quite joyously yet unwillingly earning combined glares of both Rarity and Twilight alike. “What? I think that this quite suits him.”
“Though….” Peter went on with his narration yet his voice, lacking any humour and turning into a more and more sceptical. “Where exactly Logan came from and being a wanderer…..It even appears that that guy just emerged out of nowhere and without nobody expecting it.”
“However….” Peters so far thrilling like tone filled with tension seemingly reached its top then strangely “What is rather the weirdest about this all, that even Logan himself has a few, well if even no idea of where he ever came from.”
“What are you saying, my friend?” Luna asked with her voice sounding nearly strained, finding it hard to believe what she had just heard.
“And that’s exactly why Wolverine is sometimes a mystery to himself, guys.” Peter slightly deadpanned. “Sure, Charles Xavier along with Jean Grey and Emma Frost, who by the way are on the Earths the most powerful telepaths were looking into Logans head, scanning his mind properly, but no matter how hard or how many times they tried, Logan left them all baffled with his origins as they found absolutely nothing. No info or something that could lead to Logans early life or anything.”
“Its like…..He wouldn’t even exist.” Peter finished up in a very casual manner only to see a couple of collective/bewildered gazes of others.
“Odd….?” Twilight along with both Princess Celestia and Luna all gasped simultaneously like out of empathy, all being amazed yet also more than confused, baffled about as Peter put it about Logans rather murky and shady past.
“More like quite creepy would be more appropriate.” Felicia dully noted, yet a silver maned mare also somewhat lacked her usual surety.
“How….How is that even possible that he just cant remember?” Fluttershy muttered.
“Perhaps he had lost his memory.” Pinkie Pie replied offhandedly only to deserve collective gazes of others landing upon pink partypony. “What? It’s the most logical guess I could come up with.”
“Exactly, Pinkie.” Twilight exhaled for a change in amazement. “You actually might be up to something.”
“It actually makes a perfect sense.” Sunset Shimmer, being also a gifted intellectual just like Peter and Twilight were couldn’t do anything but agree with Pinkies surprisingly logical thinking at times like these, despite party ponies obvious and usual obliviousness.
“I don’t like this. I mean this whole think with Logan anyway.” Shinning Armor though spoke off in a very cautious and serious about the matters at hand with his demeanour slightly and somehow darkening by scepticism, arguably indicating to Logan, yet surprisingly keeping his more humbler side. “I know he is your pal, Peter and that you have a history back from Earth. Not to mention as Twily and Princess Luna his heroic deeds by helping you guys up back on Earth with Osborn, as well as saving Princess Celestia and then facing Lavan. But yet….We don’t know anything about this guy at all.” The Prince of Crystal Empire though snorted quite disdainfully. “Not to mention how he treats others.”
“My words exactly, Shinning Armor.” Rarity huffed in a very unlady like manner. “The way how he just lashed out on us for any reason back in Golden Oak Library as well as making a Little Ben Crying and then just smoking the cigar within my Boutique like he would actually own that place, like nothing but a common brute.”
“And….The way how disrespectfully he just talked and was to my sister early….” Luna scoffed with a slight venom present in her voice.
“Disrespectful?! How disrespectful?” Rarity gasped in disbelief.
“Echm…You wouldn’t like to even know, Rarity.” Spike chuckled sheepishly by recall yet answering in a very uneasy and offhanded like way. “By darling and….Sunshine.” However the baby dragon immediately chiselled for his rather blunt choice of words, not intenting to respect Princess Celestia by himself.
“Wha….What…?!” Nearly all breath left the fashionistas lungs with her deep ocean blue eyes nearly crept out of her pits and her mouth being almost a wide open like a castle gat. Rarity was fidgeting herself involuntarily in both frustration and disbelief, unable to cope what she had just heard and glancing questioningly over Princess Celestia, as a Princess of the Sun merely shrugged her shoulders yet feeling quite very uneasy and embarrassed.
“That dude sure has some nerves to talk like that.” Spitfire huffed in disdain, also not appreciating Logans ruffian and brutish like manners with obviously no respect for higher ranking and authority figures.
“Yeah. Not to mention not actually being enjoying the party we threw yesterday.” Pinkie also scoffed, being both disappointed and vainly alike. “He also rarely smiles, not saying anything nice, it even seems that he actually isn’t cheery about anything.”
“How can we even know we can trust that dude, anyway?” Rainbow Dash huffed, also starting having her suspicious to Logan.
“I guess Logans obvious memory loss might by the case.” Sunset Shimmer spoke off earning a surprised look of others. “I mean, if he had ever struck his head or suffering any other possible injury, I don’t know that caused him the amnesia, it might have also drastically affect his psyche.” Fiery maned unicorn explained, yet her tone was slightly wavering.
“That might be quite plausible. Admirable deduction, Sunset Shimmer.” Luna agreed with Princess Celestias former students sensible theory and patting the tip of her hoof over her mouth. “Its though true that head injury and certain memory loss might at times lead to certain behavioural changes, like confusion, mood swings, though….”
“Whoa! Now hold it guys! Erghm….Princess Celestia.” Peter exclaimed and standing up firmly for Logans defence, yet the knight chastised himself for his rather harsh tone and tuning down by expressing a respect to Ruler of Equestria before clearing his throat. “I know what you may think right now, but just try to get it……Logan, has always been rather complicated, having difficulties and interacting with others and well as being hard to understand. Yet at the end, always meaning well. Urghm….No offence, your highness.”
“You are fine, Peter. I frankly agree with your concern.” Celestia though calmly stated, denying a young stallion a serene smile. “Logan is indeed a complex character. Yet there is still so much about him that we are perhaps not meant to understand yet.” Princess Celestias voice turned into a more solemn one. “Yet, by earning his cutie mark actually showed that there is definitely a way more hiding within him then we could guess and revealing his good inner nature.”
“I have to confess and also strongly believe that there is a good within Logan, Princess Celestia.” Fluttershy strongly yet honestly confessed, yet Pegasus heart being filled with joy. “Today how Harry had a terrible toothache, Logan managed to sense it a tearing the infected tooth out as well feeding and having a literally a wonderful time with him along with other of my animals.”
“And the way how he helped out in Sweet Apple Acres harvesting and buckling up the apples from the trees like he would be actually growing up at farm, as well as hanging out together with an apple cider, I think he is just fine.” Applejack spoke off very positively and in a happy go lucky like manner, obviously having no problem with Logan at all.
“He also helped out big time by finding and saving Chrysalis eggs and then also assisting Peter by saving two little Changeling infants back in Changelings hive.” Felicia stated determined, giving her part of support for Logan.
“And how he along with Peter and Spike were having their little eating competition back in Sugarcube Corner, it looks like Logan just adores Equestrian cuisine.” Pinkie squeaked yet ever happy overjoyed mare could help by giggle by recalling Peter, Logan and Spike eating cupcakes, pancakes, donuts and other treats in a very rather eccentric way.
Spike on the other hoof, though not saying a word just smirked for himself, recalling yesterday of being quite anxious and somewhat doubting about his place at the Avenger, yet surprisingly Logan somehow comforted baby dragon in a strange yet father like way with a good and wise like advice and supporting him, very affecting Spike by that.
“So far, Logan has more than earned our trust and asked absolutely nothing from us in return. It just wouldn’t be fair from us to do at least the same for him.” Twilight declared decisively by firmly but honestly giving her full support to Logan.
“Chm. I guess so….” Rainbow Dash murmured somewhat ashamed, repenting her suspicions yet acknowledging Twilights and her friends words.
“He is still an uncouth ruffian nonetheless. How are we suppose to deal with him then?” Shinning Armour though huffed as a part of captain of Royal Guards being still somewhat sceptical about Logan.
“He is on our side and more importantly, our friend. What more do we need to know?” Cadance simply stated by giving her very own support and playfully glancing over Twilight, yet soothingly and affectionately brushing her hoof over her husbands shoulder.
“Still, about Logans amnesia…..”Yet thought Luna cleared her throat by spoking off, with her demeanour though lightening up a little bit and her tone sounding somehow hopeful. “There might be a possibility that memory at times regains by itself or by a special treatment. Yet….Sometimes, the mind just needs to explore itself at times being.”
“Hope so…” Rarity murmured, despite one part of fashionista still not appreciating Logans rather brutish and uncouth manners, yet the second part also hoped for her and others common “friend” to get better soon with his actual memory lose.
Peter however went quite numb to the outside world, brooding within his mind as various thoughts raced through his head, considering yet also feeling somewhat uncertain about the recent events including Logan and once again glancing upon the lightning board with X-Ray images of Wolverines Adamantium skeleton with quite a concern.
Logan was indeed an enigma and one big mystery itself and as Princess Celestia put it, there was so much hidden about the gruff Canadian mutant that he along with his friends were not meant to understand, yet. There was lots of questions that yet needed to be answered about Logan, being a truly a pony of mystery and Peter felt that it was up to him and his friends to reveal a hidden truth and make it right about their teammate and friend.
“Peter?” Twilight spoke of softly, gently patting her knights shoulder and waking him up from his casual self-induced trance, yet young princess felt a little concerned.
“What is on your mind, my friend?” Luna asked gently yet out of empathy sensing that something was plaguing her best friends thoughts.
“Um….Nothing….Nothing, guys….I just….Got thoughtful a little.” Peter being awaken up from his daydreaming corrected his friends reassuringly that everything was just fine, yet deep down, young stallion just couldn’t stop thinking about this whole thing with Logan.
However, only the time would show further…..
Meanwhile, on the east coast of Equestria, the thousands lights of Manehattan, an Equestrian version of New York City, the “city that never sleeps” were flashing the metropolitan city at a calm tranquil night, with a Mare of Liberty statue standing on its post on the island and like a faithful guardian diligently watching over the city as her torch that she held in her hoof was flashing.
However and strangely, the clear bright night sky suddenly clouded by a dark storm clouds. In the instance, a lightning stroke right from the cloud that flashed nearly the whole city, before it started raining with a literally orange sized hail pieces started falling from the clouds, bombarding the city. Furthermore, a fierce wind with a potential and force of a hurricane started blowing, storming the local sea level and rising the waves over several meters.
Yet, something scaly of red colour and having something like an orange fin on its back emerged from the stormy water over half an kilometre away from the Manehattan, which more likely resembled something serpentine or lizard like body part. Though, as fast as it emerged, it also dived again underwater….
To be continued….
