Chapter 12
That's not my name.
Goodbye Raider
A Race... Your Joking Right?
Dogs Howls in The Night

Princess Celestia and myself where flying back to Canterlot. The sun was sitting on its own we'll at least I thought it was, I realized the suns own movements weren't really the suns. The sun was draining my magic supply to rise and lower itself on its own. That's annoying.

"So Celestia what happened to you after you used that spell? I was for sure you had... died, but I'm glad I was incorrect." Celestia chuckled in agreement. "I'm glad you where wrong as well! As for what happened after I used the spell I do not know I must've blacked out? I only awoke because I heard someone calling my name, once I woke I found myself in Manehattan I'd lost a whole day I had no initial clue of how I got there? I actually only made it back cause I detected your spike in power." Don's blinked eyes in amazement. "Wow! That's incredible... what's Manehattan like!"

"That's not the point, Donathan!" Don's eyes widened wondering how she knew that name. "What did you just call me?" I felt a sudden feeling of remorse over take me. "Donathan that's your real name isn't it?" Don turned starring off into the sunset. "No! Donathan is my... fathers name." "My mother named me after my father because he had died in battle, so I'm told." Celestia realized by the look om Don's face she should've kept her mouth shut.

"So No Celestia, Donathan isn't my real full name my name is... Don Eran Aaron." Celestia immediately attempted to change the subject. "It's a lovely name." Don looked over to Celestia wondering who's she was talking about. "Who's mine... its nothing special." I was beginning to lose my balance in mid air my magic was dangerously low and depleting fast.

"Don look I can see the castle from here... Don?" Celestia turned to Don to see he was falling. "Come on, come on don't give out on me now!" I tried reaching for clouds as I fell, but I didn't even have enough magic to grab a hold of one of them. My hands just slipped right through unfortunately. I was closing in on the ground I braced myself for a final impact. When suddenly I felt like something was tugging at my jacket.

I looked up to see Celestia holding me up by my old dirty jacket... I didn't tell her that though. "Thanks!" Celestia unfortunately opened her mouth dropping me without realizing it only to say. "No problem, don't mention it!" I quickly barrel rolled before I landed on the ground to further reduce the damage I would've took. "Whoa that was close! I do kinda wish I had wings though, I wouldn't have to rely on magic all of the time. Even though I don't now!"

Celestia landed on the ground she walked over to me. "Oh my gosh! Are you OK?" I turned to Celestia. "I'm fine, but could you give me a lift." "Sure I don't mind get on!" I felt a little weird getting on the back of a Princess. Then riding her all the way back to Canterlot. Princess Celestia leaped into the air with me on her back she spread her rather large wings wide and flew. This was the first time I actually got a good close up look at them they were beautiful.

"Wow is this as fast you can go it's pretty amazing." Celestia quickly shook her head in disagreement. "Not really I'm not even going fast." "Oh wow you must be like the fastest in Equestria." A look of defeat dawned down on Celestia's face. "...Actually I might not be the fastest." Don almost choked. "What are you saying of course your the fastest! You can't have the title Princess for nothing."

"You realize Don they aren't called the Wonderbolts for nothing there Captain Spitfire is probably faster than me!" Don shook his head. "Wait, wait, wait you mean Spitfire the Pegasus I talked to before, the brightly colored one!" Celestia nodded in confirmation. "Yes she might be faster!" "Dang no wonder Rainbow Dash wants to meet her!"

"Looks like we are here. Oh Don I have one more question I have to ask before we land." "I saw you in a forest well I didn't see, see you, I dreamed about you. You where protecting a young filly from ferocious beasts. I saw something in your eyes that frightened me. Or it wasn't something I saw or rather something I didn't see. Don I couldn't see your hope!"

"I know... I seem to have a problem. I may have not of displayed my hope, but I didn't need to I knew I was going to save the young filly and myself. I do not believe in hope, I do not need it!" Celestia felt uneasy listening to Don's words. "By the way that young filly her name is Rainbow Dash I realized while spending some time with her that's she's incredible. She's the one who created the so called Sonic Rainboom that you so plainly stated days ago. You know she may be faster than you." Celestia scratched her chin. "Rainbow Dash... Huh!" Princess Celestia thought about Rainbow Dash for a moment before landing.

Princess Celestia landed on the balcony of her room it was a mess on the inside. "Whoa what happened here?" Celestia turned her head to face me. "Don I have a great idea!" I got off of Princess Celestia my legs felt numb it was hard to stand. "Yeah what is it?" Celestia backed up away from Don as she took a breathe. "Why not a race!"

"A race... Really... Is now really the time I mean you do realize what's going on outside your little bubble here in Equestria don't you." Don stopped to take a breathe. "Raging forces could be preparing to slit our throats and you want to have a race." Celestia gave Don a cold fully aware stare. "Yes Don I fully realize what's happening around us better the reason we have this race." Don was totally confused.

"Every pony will be frightened the terrifying news could cause a panic to break out, but if we have this race and pretend everything's OK then they'll think it's OK too!" Don scratched his head pondering that. "I see, but what I wanna know is can I participate in this race." Celestia responded immediately in a crude tone. "No! You can't!" Don's arms instantly fell to his waist. "What? Really why not?" Celestia chuckled loudly. "Of course you can participate, I just had to pull a fast one on you."

"Oh very funny! So when will we hold the race, and how far will it go, who all will be participating?" Celestia starred off the balcony to Cloudsdale in the distance. "I do believe I'm going to make it a world wide race." Don's eyes widened. "You mean... all the way... around the world, that hardly seems fare... I don't know my way around this place... I still get lost in Equestria." Celestia sighed. "Deal with it, I've decided!" Don crisscrossed his arms. "Geez fine! I'll just have to think of some super secret awesome trump card to help me win..." Celestia cut him off. "No! You won't no magic this is going to be a fare race of true flying speed." Don's mouth fell hanging open. "But then how will I fly?" Celestia instantly realized Don doesn't have wings. "Oh yeah right you use magic to fly don't you I forgot about that! Fine you can use magic to fly but nothing else." "Got it, this should be good."

"I think I'll host the event in forty eight hours." Don's eyes widened wide. "WHAT! But that's only two days I'm not even sure if I can recover in time for that." Celestia closed the doors to her balcony with magic. "You'll be fine Don, it's not like your going to be fighting or anything your just flying try to relax loosen up a little." "I am loose!"

Suddenly Cadenza and Twilight waltzed right in on me and Princess Celestia. I turned to Twilight and Cadenza "So what's up you two!" Twilight ran to Princess Celestia she was relieved to see her again. "Twilight Sparkle my pupil how have you been while I was away." Twilight starred up to Celestia. "I've been fine, but what about you Princess what happened to you I was so worried." Celestia looked above Twilight to see Princess Cadenza standing over by the doorway. "Well Twilight I'll tell you all about that in a moment, but first!"

"Ah Cadenza it's been far too long since we last seen each other how have you been." Princess Celestia walked over Princess Cadenza. They haven't stood face to face in a few years. "Celestia why the need to be so formal like I tell every other pony just call me Cadenza." Celestia nodded her head in agreement. "Yes I've tried to before, but I'm just to used to all of the formalities for you I will try."

Twilight looked around to see Don was suddenly gone. "Where did he go, he left without saying goodbye... again!" Twilight used magic to open the glass doors before her she walked out on to the balcony starring up into the sky to see the bright somewhat glowing blue full moon. "Strange I've never seen the moon glow like that before."

"Celestia I need to ask you, have you noticed anything strange like a feeling in the air I've been feeling it for months now." Celestia slowly closed her eyes giving them a brief rest. "I've noticed it Cadenza I thought it was just nothing for a while, but very recently I've been persuaded to believe otherwise." Celestia's eyes shot open in realization. "I believe something dark is brewing, so in the near future I need you to be ready."

"Cadenza I have one more super huge spectacular favor I hope you can do for me, I would like your assistance in training Twilight Sparkle." Cadenza backed away from Celestia in fear. "What her I don't think you need my help, but if you insist." Celestia starred into the ground. "Well I don't what you to train her so much as watch over her while I'm not training her. I will be far to busy to train or even keep an eye on Twilight so could you..." Cadenza cut Celestia off. "You mean be a body guard..." Suddenly Celestia's bedroom door slammed open.

Cadenza and Celestia glared at who ran inside so crudely without knocking. "Princess's we've lost contact with Raider!" Both of there mouths hit the floor. "What? How?" They both demanded in unison. "Ma'am we believe Raider has been... well killed!" Cadenza and Celestia's eyes widened in fear. "How do you think he was killed, I doubt Raider would go down so easily his really strong you know that's why he's leader of the Guardians."

"But Princess we found the jacket he was wearing it was dripping wet with what we believe is his blood there's almost no way he's still alive." Celestia marched past Cadenza and the guardian. "Quickly Cadenza do the job I've assigned to you! I'm going to investigate this." "Yes Celestia!" Cadenza walked off to the balcony to collect Twilight. Celestia slowly turned to the guardian pony. "OK! take me to Raider's bloody jacket I want to see it. Now!"

Sweet Apple Acres

Don appeared on the Apple's farmhouse porch he stepped up to the door about to knock when something went through his mind. "Wait a second, I don't remember seeing Rainbow Dash with Cadenza and Twilight." Don instantly turned around he stepped down the few steps into the grassy field he walked as a gentle cool breeze blew past him cooling him off, he began gathering energy to try and detect Rainbow Dash.

"There I can sense Rainbow Dash she seems fine, but should I be concerned. I haven't even gotten the chance to tell her about Spitfire and the other Wonderbolts, and the big race Celestia is planning. I'll just go to see if she's OK I'll tell her about that stuff tomorrow I've generated enough magic to teleport to her and back." Don suddenly disappeared...

Cloudsdale

I fell upside down on to a soft puffy cloud. I felt relaxed immediately I could've fallen asleep right there. I watched from a distance on my little cloud as Rainbow Dash and a few other fillies lined up for what appeared to be a race of some sorts how familiar. Suddenly I heard a soft quiet yawn next to me, I slowly turned my head to see a little filly with bright pink hair she was watching the competition too.

The filly turned to me. I could see she was about scream. I quickly covered her mouth. "MONSTER!" she mumbled through my hand. "Sssshhhh! I'm in hiding little filly and I'm not a monster now if I let go will you promise not to scream." The little Pegasus filly bobbed her head in confirmation. I let go she took a breath. "Monster!" I could barely here it.

"Umm... Your gonna have to be a bit louder than that." I turned back to the fillies it looked as if they where about to begin. "Go Rainbow Dash!" mumbled the filly next to me I turned to her with a smile on my face. "My name is Don what's yours?" I whispered to the filly. I could see my sheer presence was giving the filly the trembles. "That's OK! You don't have to answer your not the first to be afraid of me I'm sure you won't be the last either."

Suddenly I heard... well I thought I heard her say something. "My name is... Fluttershy!" I quickly turned back to her. "Fluttershy... Well that's a lovely name! Nice to meet and may I say that you have a beautiful bright mane!" Fluttershy look up out of her fear to see my smile. "Umm... Thanks!" She sounded different I think she's finally decided to give me a chance.

I turned back to the race it had already begun. The track they raced on was rather small I could run it a thousand times in a minute. "Go! Rainbow Dash! Race the crap out of them!" I listened to Fluttershy's mumbling that I could barely here so I know Rainbow Dash couldn't hear them. "You... Can... Do... It... Rainbow... Dash!" said Fluttershy.

I was on the edge of my cloud they weren't moving that fast, but fast enough to cause me to go cross eyed just trying to keep up. "Wow the young ones of this world sure are talented and fast." Suddenly when my eyes finally adjusted I noticed one of them was planning on cheating it looked as if they where going to trip Rainbow Dash. I aimed my left arm for the race track, I snapped my fingers causing the rope they had hidden in the clouds to disappear.

"Hey... Don... What did you... Just do?" I turned to Fluttershy. "Well Fluttershy they were going to cheat, they were gonna trip Rainbow Dash with a rope that was hidden in the clouds so I just removed the rope." Fluttershy seemed confused. "A rope? I didn't see any rope." "The rope was the same color of a cloud so it blended in!" Don held up a poorly painted rope to Fluttershy. "Oh... I see! How did you remove it?" Don snapped his fingers causing the rope to disappear. "I used magic I used the last of my magic I had left."

The little fillies were moving around the track faster and faster a strong wind began forming the cloud that Fluttershy and I were on moved slowly with the winds. I gripped the cloud tightly afraid I was going to fall through my magic was dangerously low. "Look the race it's almost over!" "I wonder who will win?" I turned to her. "No question Fluttershy I think you know who's gonna win!" The moment I said that Rainbow Dash soared across the finish line she won by a huge lead.

"Ha! Beat you two losers into the ground twice in a week." Rainbow Dash collected her ego enlargements. "I left you two in the dust how did my tracks feel!" One of the fillies chuckled trying to hide his anger and annoyance. "We... knew we wouldn't win... we just wanted to see... where we stood considering you did a Sonic Rainboom is all." The other filly turned to her with an anxious look on his face. "So Rainbow Dash do you think you could do a Sonic Rainboom for us now... please! We wanna see it again!"

"WOOHOO RAINBOW DASH YOUR THE BEST!" Screamed Fluttershy in a loud enough tone to nearly shatter my ear drums. "Gee I hope she heard me." I almost flew off of the cloud, I barely hung on over the edge I clutched my bleeding right ear. "Heard you how could she not hear you I sure as hell heard you... owe my ears! All of Cloudsdale heard you!"

"Sorry boys I gotta go!" Rainbow looked over to Fluttershy she thought she saw some pony else as well. "Yeah! hang on Fluttershy I'll be there in a sec." I hid inside the cloud in time hoping she didn't see me I turned to Fluttershy. "Quick Fluttershy listen to the words coming out of my mouth... don't tell Rainbow Dash I was hear OK and don't tell her about the rope either!" Fluttershy was totally confused. "What why?" Fluttershy turned to see Don, but he was gone in an instant.

Rainbow Dash sat down on the cloud beside Fluttershy. "Man I am beat... Hey Fluttershy what are you doing looking over the edge, you better be careful or you'll fall off like last time." Fluttershy slowly turned to Rainbow Dash with a fearful look on her face. "Umm... Yeah! Rainbow Dash that was great! I'd never seen you move so fast."

"Fluttershy you haven't seen nothing yet!" Rainbow Dash strained to hide the pain she was feeling she apparently injured her left wing flying as fast as she could. "Well I'm gonna go home, I'm way too sleepy to stay up admiring the moon." Rainbow Dash faced the moon. "Speaking of the moon Fluttershy have you noticed the blue light it's been throwing off lately!" "Yes I have it's so pretty!" Rainbow Dash quickly flew off for her house in the clouds. "Owe my wing! It hurts! I wish some pony would be there for me when I get home!"

Sweet Apple Acres

I knocked on the door only to see Big Mac open it with his tongue sticking out it looked really swollen like he'd been biting on it or if he got stung several hundred times by nasty bees. I sighed as I reached out and swiped my right hand over Big Mac's swollen tongue. "There how does that feel?" Big Mac licked his tongue he moved it around in his mouth enjoying the relief from the heavy pain he was in. "That feels much better! Thank ya kindly Don!" I scratched my head. "No problem now I was wondering could I stay the night again I'm really tired." Big Mac shook his head in conformation. "Sure thing! You can stay in the same room, nothing's changed your always welcome here Don." I walked past Big Mac feeling really relieved and thankful. "Thanks, you have no ideal how good it is to hear you say that!"

I ran upstairs, a few steps up I realized how late it was and Granny would kill me if I woke Applejack. I walked up the stairs slowly and turned the corner I slid down the hallway to the guest room I was allowed to stay in. I walked in and shut the door behind me I quickly tossed my jacket and pants on the floor and flopped in the soft bed. The feeling of sweet relief loomed over me it was like death, but better I didn't have to die I just had to lie there and play dead. I couldn't sense any ponies presence, I was too tired then suddenly something flashed through my mind.

"I want your power Don! With it I'll finally rid this world of Equestria! It's only a matter of time!" I thought of what Itenza said it gave me chills. Then I remembered the dream I had. "Equestria was burning to the ground could that have been a dream or possibly a vision of the future. Oh I hope it was nothing but a dream!" I shoved my head into the soft plush pillow hoping it would save me from my fears. My fears usually came true. "Oh! Please not this time!"

Canterlot

The moon moved slowly through the skies the night was only half over. Celestia started at the blood soaked jacked that belonged to Raider. "These tears... something with very sharp claws must've had its way with Raider! I would say he's probably alive somewhere, but this just looks to brutal who could've done this and why?" The guardian pony who was standing off to the side trying to keep his distance. "We have no idea we only found his jacket just a little ways from Canterlot." Celestia's eyes widened in fear. "How far away from Canterlot? It could be dangerous for ponies that are traveling at night!" The guardian pony stepped up further holding sweet reassurance. "No! Princess I meant it was on the border of the EverFree Forest, please forgive me."

"Oh... Well it looks like I'm going to have to choose a new leader for the guardians! Great now I'm juggling training with Twilight and plans for the big race now this. I can't deal with this now." Princess Celestia looked to the guardian pony to her left. "Can you handle this for me I'm going to turn in for tonight." The guardian pony sighed heavily. "Yes Princess Celestia! I will you should get some rest you've been gone for far too long!"

Princess Celestia smiled cheerfully she left the guardian to his work. Princess Celestia had gotten all the way up to her room when something finally tore a hole through her brain. Then suddenly it struck the Princess at the core. "The EverFree Forest, and Don he was there fighting... What was he fighting it was something... but what where they... I can just vaguely remember." Suddenly a frightening image just appeared in the Princess's mind. "Oh my gosh those are Mendacore's I thought they didn't exist anymore, this isn't good, no not one bit! So Don was fighting them off how did he do that there immortal only a Mendacore or another immortal being can vanquish a Mendacore." "Or could it be that Don is..."

Mendacore's howled from within the deep parts of the EverFree Forest. Both Princess Celestia and Don instantly detected there presence they both heard the howls. Don sighed loudly as he laid in the bed moonlight glaring through the window into his room illuminating him. "Great how can I possibly sleep with those annoying dogs barking all night." Don sighed heavily in annoyance.
