//------------------------------// // Tempest Shadow and Metal Spike // Story: Skylanders X MLP // by Skylander545 //------------------------------// As the battle rages on and efforts to keep the city from being a frozen wasteland grows thin, Spike, Starlight and Sunburst are in a standoff between this new pony, Tempest Shadow and a robotic version of Spike himself. The robot was built to look like him, but it doesn't speak like him. It also became clear that this robot can shape-shift into others, which explains how it was able to infiltrate the tower and destroy the Crystal Heart. Spike knew for certain that these two were here to stop them from restoring the Heart. Spike gave Flurry Heart to Sunburst, “We’ll handle them. Keep her safe and perform The Crystalling. Let me know when it's time to merge with it.” The stallion nodded as he ran to the shards of the artifact as the Dragon and Unicorn went into a fighting stance as Tempest Shadow chuckled, “What fools, you think that you can stop us?” Spike shook his head, “We don't think, Tempest. We KNOW that we will stop you and Malefor. That's what Skylanders do!” Tempest gestured to her partner, “Metal Spike, time for your duel.” The robot curled up in a ball and charged at Spike as the dragon used an Earth Shot which blasted his robot counterpart back as Metal Spike slammed his claws down causing a bunch of crystal spikes to emerge from the ground. But the dragon dodged them before they could hit. Spike retaliated by firing his electric breath as the Metal Spike dodged as fast as it could. It left it open for Spike to do an electric cyclone which caused the robot to scream in pain as the electricity shocked him. Which left him open to a series of melee attacks from wing strikes to claw strikes. Despite his foe being a robot, it took damage from the attacks as a tail strike knocked him back. Metal Spike regained his functions as the shock wore off, he stared at Spike and said, “You may be strong, but I can do better!” At that instant, Metal Spike vanished as the real Spike looked around to see where he went, only to get hit in the face by a metallic wing. He was pushed back from that attack as he looked around again with his guard up until he was hit by a surprise tail strike. The impact threw the dragon to the ground as Starlight yelled, “Master Spike!” She was about to aid him, but he said, “I’m fine! You need to deal with this bot’s handler!” Starlight understood this as she turned towards Tempest Shadow and shot a magic bolt at her. The broken horned unicorn dodged the bolt and fired a magic bolt of her own - a black magic bolt. Upon seeing this, Starlight focused her abilities and formed a shield to block the bolt. As it deflected, she felt the shield ripple as she recognized the type of magic that her foe used, “Dark Magic!?” Tempest grinned, “I’ve learned a lot from the Dark Master. Let’s see how much you learned from yours.” Starlight stated, “What you fail to realize is that, I didn’t have just my Master, I had multiple teachers!” Starlight slammed her hooves to the ground as several flashing lights caused the broken horn mare to get thrown into disarray, followed by a magic bolt which struck Tempest. The dark unicorn growled as she fired multiple dark bolts as Starlight used her duplication spell as her phantoms took each hit. Starlight retaliated from Tempest’s attack by using a special power that she’s been trying to master. She focused her power to her core as her eyes started to glow green as her horn released a flash of green energy, similar to an Earth Shot. The shot hit Tempest as she was blown back by it. Meanwhile on Spike’s side, he managed to anticipate when his doppleganger would attack and began to avoid most of his attacks and countered with a Wing Strike followed by an Electric Breath. It caused Metal Spike to scream in pain as it was stunned by the attack as the dragon used this opportunity to strike with a headbutt which knocked the robot into the air as he did a combo attack which struck him three times before kicking him to the ground. The impact caused the left foreleg to break off of the robot as it said, “You...you are stronger than I predicted.” Spike said to his robot doppelganger, “You should have done your homework. But still, not bad for an imposter.” Metal Spike’s red eyes glared as his wings opened up, revealing the missiles, “I would kill you right here and now!” The missiles fired as Spike used his time stop power and redirected the missiles back to his doppelganger as the impact of the missile blew off his right foreleg and damaged his chassis. The robot knew that the dragon had the upper hand on him when he blew off his forelegs as the machine resorted to using his wings to support himself. The robot stared at the dragon and flung a series of razor sharp discs at Spike. Spike used his abilities and skills to dodge the discs and send a few back to his robot doppelganger which did more damage to his chassis. The robot glared at Spike as it became clear to the dragon - It wasn't giving up. Meanwhile on the battlefield, the Armored Troll’s attention was drawn to Silverstream as it attempted to swat at her as she flew, but it left the giants open with an opportunity to strike the beast as Eye-Brawl used his eye beams to attack the troll, blowing off another piece of its armor - only to reveal a cannon as it pointed to the giants. The hippogriff saw the beast’s new weapon as she knew that the cannon would be used against the army. She had to think fast and her usual slash attacks won’t help - but she had an ace up her claw. She gazed at the bracer on her left fore-claw, which looked like it was made out of steel and coral. She had a determined look on her face, she is determined to not only ensure that the Skylanders win this battle, but to bring her message to Spike. But she silently whispered, “Mom, Dad, Aunt, I hope you understand.”She raised it up and said, “For the honor of Seaquestria!” When she said that, the bracer began to glow as a flash of light consumed her, catching the attention of the Armored Troll as turned to the light which was blinding the other grublins. Both armies watched as the light faded to reveal Silverstream, but she looked different than her usual self. Her wings were larger and had the appearance of a grown hippogriff, her eyes were now glowing blue while her armor was a combination of coral and steel as her bracer extended into a sword as she said in a voice that was different than her own, “I AM CORAL LEVIATHAN!” Silverstream, now Coral Leviathan gazed at the invading Grublins as the Armored Troll aimed its cannon at the hippogriff, but before it could shoot, the hippogriff dashed through the cannon as her wrist sword sliced it to pieces. The troll, angry that its ranged weapon was destroyed alerted the grublins for backup as a new Troll approached. It had the same appearance of a regular troll, but the difference was the glowing yellow helmet that it wore on its head. Tree Rex knew what this was, “An Elite Troll!” Coral Leviathan knew what he meant, “Its attacks will be deadly if we take it head on.” Boom Jet joined in, “Our attacks will have no effect on it.” The hippogriff knew what the Swap Skylander meant, “It's helmet protects it.” The Trap Master, Thunderbolt spoke, “But not against lightning attacks.” He turned to a group of Air Skylanders that were experts in lightning attacks. Among them was the Knight Sensei, Wild Storm and his Imaginator student, Storm Falcon. The Sensei spoke, “Leave the helmet to us, Leviathan. Once it’s gone, you move in to finish it off.” The hippogriff knew that they were specialized in taking down beasts like this, but since she involve herself in this battle, she will fight alongside the Skylanders. She nodded as Wild Storm turned to the others, “Lightning Storm Company, Move out!” The Lightning Storm Company moved in to attack the Elite Troll as the beast laughed believing that their attacks would be futile against it. It raised its shoulder cannon to fire on the team until Storm Falcon got close enough to charge at the troll, unsheathe his twin swords and slashed them at the cannon before throwing one of his swords at the helmet, giving the troll a real shocker before it returned to him. Wild Storm shot out a lightning bolt from his sword and struck the dazed troll while Thunderbolt called forth a lightning storm which struck the Elite Troll as it roared in irritation. But they also noticed a few cracks forming in the beast’s helmet. Lightning Rod summoned a lightning strike followed by a few lightning bolts which caused more cracks to emerge on the beast’s helmet. While the battle for the Crystal Empire raged on between the forces of good and evil, Sunburst was in the background with the newborn foal as he kept himself focused on the task at hand - restoring the Crystal Heart by having the baby undergo her Crystalling. The stallion knew that in order to complete the ritual, it required the baby's power in at least one of the shards and since she has a very unique magic core, a single shard could hold that power. As the stallion worked, he couldn't help but stop for a moment to see how the duel was going. He turned to see Starlight smacking the dark unicorn with a green energy ball that she summoned from her horn. He saw Spike locked in melee combat with his robot counterpart, he noticed that the robot’s forelimbs were blown off and its chassis was damaged as the robot swiped its wings at the dragon which he dodged and countered with a wing-strike of his own. Sunburst noticed that the attack added a frost attack which froze the metal wing in place as Metal Spike glared at the real Spike. The robot swung its tail towards the dragon as its tail tip detached to reveal a rocket drill. When Spike saw this, he used that remarkable speed ability to counter the small projectile and direct it back at its launcher. Sunburst turned to Starlight as his close friend displayed a more tenuous grasp of magic as she shot out a green shockwave which blasted the dark unicorn to a pillar. But her opponent wasn't done yet, she shot several bolts of dark magic at Starlight, but the mare countered with a bolt barrage of her own. Her barrage served her well as she performed a charge attack which hit the dark unicorn, knocking her to the ground. As the fight continued, Sunburst couldn't help but envy Starlight. He went to magic school to learn about magic, but he didn't have the will to cast it. His knowledge made him become scholar, seeking out any books of magical arts. His research in the Crystal Empire was going to be the most important thing in his life. But it was all shattered by the Grublin Attack and yet, Starlight suggested him to find a solution to the Crystal Heart - the very thing he was researching. She believed that he was a great wizard, but he never could cast a simple spell ever since he saved her when they were foals. From what he heard, Starlight lost her faith after he left for magic school and never bothered to send her a letter. She started an Equality Cult, attempted to convert Spike by kidnapping one of the Skylanders, and attempted to change the past by going back in time. Now she is the Apprentice of the Purple Dragon, she had a great grasp in magic and from that display, she would be even better than the stallion ever could. Sunburst soon began to think, “We were friends once, maybe we can be friends again. Maybe when this is all over...maybe we can rekindle our friendship.” As Metal Spike recovered from Spike’s attack, the robot’s chassis sparked as it turned to Tempest who was recovering from Starlight’s charge attack, “Critical Damage sustained to chassis. Forelimbs destroyed. Flight Engines are still functioning. I recommend that we withdraw!” The mare slammed her hoof onto the floor in anger, knowing that they have been beaten. She stood up and glared at the Purple Dragon and his Apprentice, “Don't think you’ve won this, Spike! This isn't over!” Spike decided to be intimidating, “Run back to your Master, Tempest. We’ll be coming for him in the future!” Tempest smiled, “Oh, I’m counting on it.” After saying that, Metal Spike grabbed her with his hind claws and took to the skies, carrying Tempest away from the Crystal Empire. As Spike and Starlight watched as their new foes flee from the battle. Spike noticed that Starlight had her hoof to her head as the energy of her newfound ability became noticeable through her horn. Spike took this in as he said to her, “Chin up, Starlight. We won this fight and you’ve also learned a few abilities with the Earth Element.” Starlight felt proud of herself since Spike notice her first dragon element. She thought to herself, ‘I just learned a dragon element...I don't know what to think, but part of me likes this!’ She looked at her teacher, “Thank you, Master Spike. It was because of your teachings that made it possible.” Spike nodded and stated, “We're going to have Twilight teach you the basics of elemental magic and have Applejack put you through combat training with your Earth abilities.” The mare understood what her teacher meant because of her new powers. As soon as the battle is over, she would have to return to her training with Applejack and magic lessons from Twilight. But the first thing is to wait until the Heart is ready for the ritual. But they soon got their answer when Sunburst called out, “Spike, the Crystal Heart is ready!” They turned to the pedestal as the shards of the heart formed around it as the foal began to glow. Sunburst stated, “After a little bit of research and with the time you gave me, the baby's power has already merged with the shards. Spike, I guess it's time to light this candle!” Spike nodded as the dragon approached the shards as they began to react to his presence. Spike looked at Sunburst and then at Starlight, “You both did a good job. It’s now or never.” Spike soon stood between the shards along with the baby as he generated his powers from the Crystal Heart and the baby as their powers merged together as one. As both unicorns watched this, Starlight looked at Sunburst as the stallion watched in awe of this spectacle. Starlight asked, “Sunburst…” The stallion turned to her, “Starlight…” “There’s something I need to tell you!” They both said it in unison until Starlight said, “You first.” The stallion took a deep breath and said, “I just wanted to say...I’m sorry. I’m sorry for not contacting you all those years ago, I’m also sorry for lying to you. I...I thought if we ever saw each other again…” Starlight asked, “Then you would be a great wizard without the knowledge to cast a spell?” She shook her head, “But Master Spike has a way to tell that you were lying.” Sunburst sighed, “His abilities are more special than I imagine.” Starlight stated, “Spike is a Purple Dragon after all.” The stallion nodded, “You have him as a teacher and I couldn’t even cast a simple spell.” Starlight smiled, “Master Spike would probably tell you to not doubt your abilities. And I’m sorry for the way I acted when you told the truth.” Sunburst understood that, “We’ve all been hard on ourselves since we’ve seen each other. I made up my wizard when we ran into each other today because I was scared to see you again. I’m not afraid anymore.” Starlight placed a hoof around Sunburst and said, “Maybe after this, we’ll teach you how to cast magic.” The stallion smiled as they hugged. As Spike began to build up his power, he noticed Starlight and Sunburst making up for lost times as they hugged. He smiled at this as he knew that because of his decisions and Starlight’s choices in the time they’ve been there, Starlight and Sunburst have reignited their friendship. But Spike could sense something else, “This will end up being more than friendship.” He noticed that the baby was near him. She hugged his right foreleg as he smiled, “Well, Flurry Heart, you’re not only going to have your Crystalling, but to show everyone that smiling face and your playful personality.” Soon enough, the shards formed around both of them as he felt the heart’s power merge with him, but even with just him, would it be powerful enough to cleanse the city? He soon had an idea as he called out to the others, “Get close to me. Now!” Starlight and Sunburst noticed as they got close to him and his cousin. At that instant, Spike’s core was amplified by both Starlight, Sunburst, Flurry Heart and the Crystal Heart itself. As the wave of powers merged with him, he closed his eyes and began rising up into the air as his wings gained the same blue color from the previous battle. He felt the power from everyone near him build up inside of him, but he also felt through everyone of the feelings of the inhabitants of the Crystal Empire, the Skylanders, his friends and his family. It was at this moment when the combined powers reached their peak as Spike’s eyes shot open as they glew a bright blue as he flared his wings as Sunburst predicted - The Crystalling Fury Wave has been unleashed! At the train station, the grublins were pushing more towards the station while the Skylanders were doing their best to hold them back as Shadow Strike and Tae Kwon Crow used their Fire and Dark elemental abilities and Sky-Chi powers to hold them off. Wolfgang, now a Bowslinger laid down a musical beat to hold the grublins back as his student, Ice Sling laid down a volley storm to keep them at bay. The imaginator was panting at this, seeing that it’s not going to hold them back for long. Wolfgang agrees with the imaginator as the grublins pushed more towards the train station. That wasn’t until they noticed a massive wave of energy heading right towards them. Wolfgang yelled, “EVERYONE TAKE COVER!” They got to cover as the wave passed over them, but the wave didn’t do any harm to those that were out of cover. The grublins however, were not so lucky as the wave disintegrated the smaller grublins while the more larger ones like trolls and Hero Orcs just stood there for a moment until they collapsed onto the ground. The Skylanders saw that after the wave had passed, the open sky and the bright sun emerged from the former clouds as they cheered in victory. At the city gates, Coral Leviathan and the giants took down the Elite Troll as they began to take down the other grublins trying to push through their line. Shining Armor did his best to keep the line defended as he helped the Imaginator, Storm Falcon onto his feet since the imaginator was hurt during the scuffle with the troll. As the stallion was helping him back to the line, he saw a large energy wave heading straight for them. Shining could help but wonder, something caused this wave to be unleashed. But he and Storm Falcon braced as the wave passed through them, but it didn’t harm them. They looked towards the grublin line and saw that the grublins were either disintegrating or collapsing to the ground, even the wyverns were crashing to the ground after getting hit by the wave. Shining Armor looked behind him and saw the sun and the Crystal Tower shining bright over the city. The stallion couldn’t believe it, “We - we won!” Storm Falcon joined him as he raised his hand up, “WE WON!” Everyone in both the Skylanders and the army cheered in victory as they knew for certain that they won. Coral Leviathan soon turned back to Silverstream as the hippogriff looked up at the Crystal Tower where the wave came from. She approached Shining Armor and asked, “Was that?” Shining Armor knew the only one powerful enough for a shockwave like that, “It’s no longer snowing and all the grublins have been destroyed. It’s Spike - He found a way! He did it!” The hippogriff soon remembered why she was here, “Can you take me to him?” The stallion remembered that she was here to find Spike, so he decided, “I will.” He pointed to Tree Rex and Bouncer, “You two, with me. Everyone else, head to the palace.” The giants understood as the Skylanders followed them while Tree Rex and Bouncer followed Shining Armor and Silverstream. As they made their way back into the city, they passed by the train station as the Crystal Ponies started rising up to see the aftermath. Among them to the surprise of Shining Armor were his own parents. The stallion said in shock, “Mom! Dad!” His parents rushed at their son as they hugged him as he asked, “When did you guys get here?!” Twilight Velvet spoke, “Just before those creatures and that snowstorm delayed our train.” Night Light stated with confusion, “Those things just came out of nowhere, just like that snowstorm. It all stopped when that shockwave appeared.” Shining Armor understood that his parents took shelter at the train station from the cold and the battle. It made this fight even more close to his family if his parents were caught in the crossfire. It wasn’t until he heard his mother ask, “We heard that Spike came here before us. Where is our little dragon as well as our granddaughter?” Shining said nothing as he turned his head towards the tower as his parents realized as his father asked, “He’s there...isn’t he?” Shining nodded, “They are, Dad. We’re heading there now and someone wanted to speak with him.” He gestured to Silverstream behind him as Night Light realized, “A hippogriff? I haven’t seen one in a long time.” Silverstream chuckled, “We don’t have much contact with others.” Shining’s parents understood as they made their way to the castle as the many Crystal Ponies, Skylanders and Alliance forces gathered at the Trail of History gazing up at the tower as they waited in anticipation for something to happen. It wasn’t until they noticed something drop from the tower, there were three that dropped from the tower and were falling fast. The first that dropped kept falling until a familiar pair of wings opened up as the crystal ponies instantly recognized the wings as the purple dragon flew close enough for everyone to see him. The other two were unicorns that descended to the ground by magic as the dragon landed near them with his wings flared and with the giggling filly on his back. One of the unicorns, a stallion Sunburst stepped forward with Starlight taking Spike’s side. They were also different in appearances since they were all shining like the rest of the Crystal Ponies. Sunburst announced to everyone, “Citizens! May I present the newest member of the Crystal Empire!” Spike had the baby in his wings as he held her up high as the crowd stood in awe at the newest member of the royal family. The baby, Flurry Heart giggled at the crowds looking at her in awe. Spike felt happy that she could finally have her Crystalling. After he was finished presenting her to the crowd, he decided to speak, “This has been a decisive moment for us all. Today was not only the day of my cousin’s Crystalling, but the day that we came together to fight an enemy set to ruining this big day. But there’s no doubt that this is a time for celebration for you all. This victory has reminded us of what we are fighting for. We’re fighting for the future, for our children and for a time of peace! Let us rejoice for this moment as we welcome the newest member of the Crystal Empire! Princess Flurry Heart!” The crowd cheered as they knew of the battle that occurred minutes ago. Afterwards, the royal family joined the trio as Cadence and Shining Armor were reunited with their daughter. Spike was also greeted by his family as both Twilight Velvet and Night Light hugged their adopted son. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were also in attendance as his royal family hugged him and were proud of him. They were now in the throne room of the palace as Spike managed to relax after that battle. It wasn’t until he was approached by an excited Silverstream, “Excuse me! Um...you’re him, right?” Spike asked, “Umm...yeah, but I don’t think we’ve met before.” Silverstream stated, “But I’ve heard of you. You’re the dragon that everyone is talking about!” The hippogriff practically gripped him by his neck as his scales returned to normal. Spike asked, although it was muffled, “You were looking for me, miss?” The hippogriff released him, “I’m Silverstream from Mount Aris.” Spike remembered the name from studying Equestria’s map, “The Hippogriff Kingdom?” Silverstream nodded as she said, in a sad tone which was surprising since she was excited, “I needed to tell you something.” Spike, now concerned asked, “What happened?” Everyone in the room was curious to hear what the hippogriff had to say. Silverstream looked sad as she gathered herself and said, “Mount Aris...has fallen.” Everyone gasped at this news and Spike could only guess who took Mount Aris, “Malefor…” The purple dragon knew all too well that Malefor has the Hippogriff Kingdom in his claws. Spike asked, “Does anyone else know you’re here?” Silverstream replied, “Only my cousin knows I’m here. We are big fans of you...I’m not so sure about my parents or worse, my aunt.” Spike asked, “Why is your aunt worse than your parents?” The hippogriff sighed, “She’s very distrustful of outsiders and has somewhat of an ego. She didn’t like how my cousin and I were your fans.” Spike stated, “She’s thinks that the dangers of the outside world will not harm them.” Silverstream frowned until Spike continued, “But if I can speak with your parents and your aunt and appeal to them, we can take Mount Aris back!” Silverstream smiled at Spike’s courage as she said, “So you will help us?” Spike stated, “We won’t let Malefor get away this time. We’re going to find a way to defeat him. That’s what Skylanders do.” Silverstream felt relief as her idol accepted her plea for help. But she forgot one thing as Spike asked, “Where will I find the surviving hippogriffs?” The hippogriff chuckled, “I kind of left that part out.” She took a deep breath and said, “The hippogriffs fled when Mount Aris fell and are currently living in Seaquestria, the underwater city of the seaponies.” Everyone was surprised, even the Skylanders gathered there as Gill Grunt asked, “Wait, how come we’ve never heard of this place before?” Silverstream stated, “It’s kind of isolated and outsiders are not welcome there.” Spike understood, “So, I’m going to be in for a heated welcome when we get there.” Although the dragon was still confused, “But if you’re from an underwater city, why are you a hippogriff?” She tapped her claw on a pearl necklace that she wore around her neck, “This necklace can make me change from hippogriff to seapony when I enter water.” Then with that in mind, Spike knew that they need to go to Seaquestria and appeal to the rulers. On the outskirts of the city, Tempest Shadow and Metal Spike were overlooking the city as the dark unicorn sneered at the heroes saving the city while the robot installed new forelimbs to himself, regaining his ability to walk normally again. Tempest scoffed, “Beaten by a dragon and his unicorn apprentice, I can’t believe that we lost!” Metal Spike stated, “We may have failed our mission, but we have many opportunities to face them again.” Tempest understood it, “You’re right, we need to return to our master for our next assignment. I will get his friend’s powers eventually.” Metal Spike said with a sinister tone, “More specimens, more powers and more data to copy.” Tempest agreed with her robot companion as she walked away from the city. As Metal Spike looked over the city again, he gave a metallic growl. As he went to join his companion, he stated, “We shall meet again, Spike. The battle may be over, but the war is just beginning!” He gave a robotic laughter as he rejoined Tempest. Somewhere beneath the ocean is the underwater city of Seaquestria, the home of the seaponies. As the seaponies were going about their business, a large number of them were refugees from Mount Aris when those terrifying creatures attacked. Even though they managed to evacuate, their home was lost and hope for the hippogriffs as well. But at the Seaquestria Royal Palace, a light colored seapony with a magenta mane was in the throne room sadly gazing at a photo of her daughter. She was sad and worried that her daughter disappeared on the day of the attack. She asked herself, “Silverstream, where are you?” She let out a tear as she hugged the picture to her chest. She was soon snapped out of her thoughts when another seapony entered the room. She was light colored with a brilliant fuchsia and strong mulberry mane. She also looked like she just got back from a beauty parlor. The new seapony saw her and asked, “Ocean Flow?” She noticed the picture as she frowned, “Silverstream has not been found, I assume.” Ocean Flow nodded, “I just don’t understand. Why would Silverstream run away on the day of the attack?” The seapony sighed, “Skystar and Silverstream have been obsessed with that Purple Dragon from Equestria.” Suddenly, Ocean Flow’s mind clicked as she asked, “Novo, you don’t think Silverstream flew off to find him?” Novo, understanding why Skystar and Silverstream were fascinated by the dragon realized, “She wants his help? Can we really trust him?” Ocean Flow stated, “Sister please, you and Skystar lost your home during the attack. We don’t have that much of an army to fight that horde on the surface and we need help! If my daughter believes that this dragon is our best bet, we should accept him if he comes here.” Novo face-hooved, “The Hero of the Crystal Empire, I know the story. But could we really put the safety of our kingdoms into this dragon’s hands? I still have nightmares of the dragon leading those monsters.” Ocean Flow stated, “We may not have a choice, Novo.” Before this could go any further, a seapony entered the throne room and said, “Your highnesses.” Novo and Ocean Flow gazed at the seapony as Novo asked, “What is it?” The messenger said, “Well, the sages of the Coral Temple of the Elder have said that the power bracer is missing.” Ocean Flow realized, “But, that artifact was to only remain in the temple…” The messenger continued, “But there’s more...the sages reported that the statue of the Elder started to glow.” Novo knew about this, “But if the statue is glowing, that only means…” Ocean Flow finished, “The bracer was activated!” Novo looked at her sister, “But who activated it?” Ocean Flow had a hunch on who activated the bracer as she looked at Silverstream’s picture again, “I may know.”
