Nature's Tears

4 - The Plan Of Action

Fluttershy leads the pony all the way to Zecora's house. Fluttershy still got the creeps from the pony, but didn't let them know. ''Here it is, see ya!'' The pony said anxiously and was about to leave, but the pony grabbed Fluttershy's hoove, causing the pegasus to turn around and face the pony.

They had dead eyes, and glared into Fluttershy's beautiful blue ones. ''Thank you,'' they said, and stared deep into 'Shy's eyes, who was slowly getting dizzy.

The pony smirked, and went inside after releasing her hoove.

Fluttershy ran back to the pond, and would wait for Discord to talk about what just happened with her beloved friend.

- Twilight -

''...Twilight, we'll fix it, together. You just need to get yourself together. You are the princess of Friendship. This has been going on for too long. We have to do something before your friendship is over forever,'' Celestia said, earning a nod in confirmation from Twilight.

''So, for now, you can take it easy. We'll later figure something out to get everyone together, alright?'' Luna said, joining the hug.

''Celestia? Luna?'' Cadance began, her eyes widening as she spoke.

''Yeah, we feel it as well...'' Luna said in an ever-so-serious tone.

''The evil is on the move...'' Cadance stated.

''All is going well up until now...'' They said to theirself, seeing their list of items they needed for the plan.

''Tears of Nature'' they read out loud.

Then they grabbed a bottle with some rain they had caught this morning in Sweet Apple Acress.

''Check. Next item... Ah! Poison of a snake... He's getting it now for me if I'm correct...'' The pony said.

''The element of curiosity...'' They then mumbled, looking at theirself in the mirror.

''Check, cake filled with the element of magic sweat, hairs and feathers... If possible, blood,'' The pony then thought about going to Sugarcube corner, and to steal princess Twilight for those items, though that would be a hard job, so they shrugged it off.

''Blood of a pegasus, feathers and if possible, a part of the wing...'' They then read.

''This I didn't write down but... It has to be a special wing. Someone with the element of kindness, otherwise the spell wouldn't be so kind to hand their immense magic to me...'' They said to theirself.

''...Magic of a unicorn...'' They said to theirself.


''Could be easy, there are plenty of unicorns out there...'' The pony said, and read the last item.

''The poisonous, dangerous, rare and creepy apple of Curiosity... I'm going to get that one soon enough...'' The pony said.

At that moment, a male pony entered the base. ''I have the poison of a snake, from Zecora, just like you asked,'' He said.

The other pony nodded satisfied. ''How many time do we have left?'' They asked the male pony.

''Only 5 days left. So, I was going to say, that I have found the perfect pegasus for the wing. She has the element of kindness,'' he said.

''Good. Now, I've made a plan. Tomorrow, I'm going to Sugarcube corner to get the cake. You're going to Sweet Apple Acress to get my beloved apple. Then, with that apple, we're going to a certain unicorn to take their magic. Then, with that magic, we're going to capture that pony. Lastly, we're going to hide, until the blood moon arrives. Then, the element of Curiosity will make its comeback, and show the world they made a big mistake with sealing the seventh element of harmony away...''


''Great idea. Let's wait for now, then...''

- Rainbow Dash -

She was finally done with her job, and went to Ponyville. Just to go and see if Shell was still there. And she was. ''Hey Dash!'' Shell greeted happily.

''Hey Shell! I was wondering if you'd like to hang out tomorrow?'' Dash asked.

Shell thought for a minute. ''Sure thing! I don't see why not!'' She answered happily.

''Cool! So, what do you want to do now? I'm free and-- wait, if you have any other plans, I'm sorry for distracting you!'' Dash said.

Shell violently shook her head. ''No no no! Now is fine! I want you to tell me stories, if you don't mind...'' She said in a sad tone...

''Huh? Why are you sad suddenly?'' Rainbow asked her friend.

''W-Well, I don't think you'd like the question I'm going to ask... The kind of genre of stories I want to hear...'' Shell said.

''Nah! I like to tell any story! Do you want to hear my adventure, or a mystery I solved? Oh! Oh! Or maybe my romantic life, which I don't have! :D O-Or maybe do you want to hear about me working together with Daring Do-'' Rainbow got cut off.

''Mane six,'' Shell simply said in a cold tone, shadows covering her eyes.

Rainbow was puzzled and blinked. ''Mane... Six?'' She repeated questioningly.

''Y-Yes... I've heard you were the six elements of harmony, and that you've... You know... Beaten a lot of enemies... So, how'd you do it?'' Shell asked cautious.

''Well, that's easy. Back when we were friends, we used our ultimate spell, the spell of friendship! We beat our enemies with our friendship, only every single one of the mane six was required to be there. If there was only one element missing, the spell wouldn't work. But since there is peace now, there's no need for us to work together. Besides, it's not like it would work now, since we aren't friends anymore, and it requires a very strong friendship, easy!'' Rainbow said.

Shell smiled. ''Interesting.''

''So, tell me about your ex-friends powers...?'' Shell continued to ask.

''Huh? Why?'' Rainbow asked, suspicion rising.

''Because I would like to have the element of laughter, you know.. To make a new mane six... With new ponies because... I know that this peace won't last forever!'' Shell said with a smile.

''And you need to know their powers because...?'' Dash asked.

''So we can be just as strong as they were, by copying their every magic!'' Shell explained with determination in her eyes.

''Oh, I see! Well, to begin with...'' Rainbow started.

Time went past really quick, and Shell started copying Rainbow's words, so she wouldn't forget them. ''...Thanks Rainbow!'' Shell said after two hours of telling all about the ex-mane six and writing all of it down. She chuckled.

Rainbow flashed a smile. ''No prob!'' She answered.

''One last question...'' The salmon-haired pony started.

Rainbow nodded.


''What are their weaknesses?''
