//------------------------------// // Reunion with Princesses and Mutant // Story: Equestria Ninjas: Friendship School // by Wildcard25 //------------------------------// At the Castle of Friendship one afternoon, the ponies and ninjas were busy cleaning the place up. Reason why was because they were expecting important company today. Twilight was walking around inspecting all her friends hard work, "Looking good, everypony." "At this rate, we'll be done in no time." Leo said, as he was sweeping up. "Yeah. And we can finally stop for a rest." Keno said, as he was looking exhausted. "What's wrong, Keno? Can't keep up?" Casey teased him. Keno frowned, and picked up the pace with cleaning the walls. April spoke to the hockey mask wearing vigilante, "Way to give a guy a push, Casey." Casey shrugged. Bebop was zipping around the castle above on his energy streams cleaning the ceiling, "Whoo-hoo! Yeah, baby! I'm not missing a spot!" Rocksteady lifted some of the furniture up with ease, allowing Fugitoid to vacuum up any dust or crumbs that were underneath it, "Thank you, my friend. All clean." Fugitoid said. "I should get job as furniture mover." Rocksteady said, as he flexed an arm. April and Rarity were using their magic to straighten the tapestries and curtains, "Perfect." Rarity approved. "Yay to teamwork." April smiled. Soon enough the castle was all cleaned, "And we're done." Donnie said, as the brothers fainted. "And I thought cleaning the lair was a chore." Mikey panted. They heard a knock at the front door, and Twilight got excited and beamed, "They're here!" She galloped to the doors and opened them. Standing right outside the castle were Celestia and Luna while accompanied by Blade Swipe, "Princess Celestia! Princess Luna! Blade!" she embraced her fellow princesses followed up by giving Blade a friendly hug, "Please come right in." she showed them inside. Twilight's friends stood lined up, as her Equestria friends bowed their heads followed by the ninjas, "Good afternoon, my little ponies." Celestia greeted. "And to our ninja friends as well." Luna greeted the group. "Good to see you all." Blade greeted. "Blade, what up, brah?" Mikey asked as the two high fived. Leo approached Celestia with Sunset, "It is good to see you again, Princess." Leo began. "And the same to you and your family, Leonardo." Celestia winked at Sunset who smiled. Keno looked at the royal sisters in shock, "Aren't they Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna from back home?" Fugitoid spoke up, "Actually, Keno, in Equestria, they are princesses. And instead of being heads of a high school, they are the monarchs of Equestria." "Wicked. So does everyone back home at CHS and such have a counterpart from here?" "Just about." Fugitoid answered. "There wouldn't happen to be an Equestrian version of Indigo Zap would there?" Keno asked curiously. "Not that any of us are aware of." the Professor answered, much to Keno's dismay. Sunset brought her former mentor, her sister, and Blade over, "Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Blade, this is a friend of ours from New York and extended ally of the ninja team, Keno." "Uh, nice to meet you your royal ones'." Keno bowed his head awkwardly. "Any ally of Sunset Shimmer is a friend of ours." Celestia greeted. "And a comrade as well." Blade added. "And of course, you know Bebop and Rocksteady." Sunset reintroduced them. "Hey, Princesses." Bebop waved. Rocksteady took notice of Blade, and spoke to Bebop, "Comrade Bebop, he is mutant just like us." Sunset introduced them, "This is Blade Swipe, and yes he is also a mutant like you guys and the turtles. But he's actually native to Equestria." "I was captured by the Kraang decades ago where they experimented on me and turned me into a mutant." Blade explained to the duo. "After that he went bad and tried to destroy us when we first met." Mikey put in. "Mikey!" Raph growled. "It's all right, Raph," Blade calmed him, "I have no qualms about my former life before mending my ways." "It's nice you could all come here what with your busy schedules." Twilight thanked them. "We could never miss out on a chance to see our old allies." Celestia spoke. "Especially since you wrote about the problem you most recently faced in your letter." Luna added. "You said you fought with alternate versions of the enemies you know as Shredder and Krang?" Blade inquired. "It's all true." Fugitoid confirmed, as he used his eyes to project a holographic image of the ponified Shredder and Krang. "Unlike our worlds Shredder, this one isn't as threatening and can barely fight us all on his own." Karai explained. "The counterpart of Krang on the other hand is actually one of the Kraang who was banished by the hive mind to another dimension." Sunset added. "He partnered up with the Shredder of that dimension and fought our counterparts from that world." Leo put in. "Yeah, you know the other set of green ponies you saw along side us that one time?" Twilight asked, while remembering the awkward run in when they were trying to stop Krang and Subprime from blowing up the Pony Dimension. Celestia recalled, "Ah, yes. I remember. So they have come to Equestria and I am to assume are looking to conquer it?" "That pretty much says it all." Donnie confirmed. "They ain't no laughing matter, yo." Bebop said in worry. "Da, they came close to destroying world." Rocksteady put in. "Which you two helped them pull off." Raph reminded them, much to their irritation and guilt. "Shredder may not be a big threat, but Krang is smart and his technology can be dangerous." Donnie warned them. "Are they really since they don't have a technodrome?" Casey asked them. "They got here and captured us, Casey." April reminded him. "Yeah. I can't believe we fell right into their trap." Applejack said feeling embarrassed. "I know." Rainbow agreed. "Well, should they make themselves known again be sure to let me know." Blade requested. "Of course, Blade. We could never exclude you from a fight." Leo promised. "And we'll make sure the other towns, cities, and kingdoms in the land are warned to keep an eye out for these two." Luna motioned to the hologram of the two villains. "Thank you, your excellencies." Shini thanked them. Celestia looked at the turtles medallions, "Sunset Shimmer informed me and Twilight that the Memory Stone contained the spirits of Clover the Clover's apprentices. When the magic was used on you boys the apprentices magic bonded with you all allowing you to not only destroy the Memory Stone, but defeat your enemy Kavaxas as well." "It's all true." Leo confirmed. "Sorry we didn't bring them with us during the Festival of Friendship, but we had no idea there was going to be an adventure to save the land." Mikey said. "Which is why we've decided to wear them at all times." Donnie added. "Good plan," Blade agreed, "There's still plenty of threats and dangers in Equestria without Shredder and Krang." "No kidding." Sunset replied. "Twilight has also informed me of your new positions at her school," Celestia continued, "I'm pleased to see you all helping her and her friends by teaching the students not only facts about your world, but by also training them in the body and mind." Leo nodded, and answered, "Neighsay may think all non-ponies are a danger to us, but we think otherwise." "So who cares what he thinks." Raph put in. "Well, I hope you'll continue to help my subjects educate the young minds at the Friendship School." Celestia smiled. "You can count on us, your highness." Karai assured. "Plus we're already proving to be awesome teachers," Mikey put in, "I mean our six top students rescued us of course." "But they still have ways to go." April reminded Mikey. "And I know you're just the ones to help them reach their full potential." the Princess of the Sun said. Suddenly whistling was heard, "Ooh, cocoa's done!" Pinkie cheered, as she zipped off. "Would you care for some, princesses?" Twilight asked. "Well, I have come all this way. I could use some." Celestia admitted. "So could I." Blade agreed. "Same here." Luna nodded. As the group started walking, Mikey spoke to Blade, "So, Blade, give it to me straight. How're things going with you and Fizzlepop?" Blade blushed at the mention of her name, and answered, "Actually, all is going well between us. We write each other letters every so often to see how each other is doing?" "And how is she doing?" Shini wondered. "Doing great. She and Grubber have covered just about more than half of the land the Storm King had conquered and let the inhabitants know they're free of him." "That's a relief." Fugitoid said. "And to make it better, she finally made amends with her fillyhood friends." the mutant swords pony continued. "How'd that go?" Donnie asked. "It didn't start off so hot with her friend Glitter Drops. Mostly because to Fizzlepop, Glitter acted so overjoyed to see her after so many years like her abandoning Fizzle after she lost her horn never happened. Fizzle tried to reconnect at first, but was still bitter over her friends betrayal and finally snapped at Glitter over what happened to her." "That doesn't surprise me." Raph replied. Blade continued, "Glitter Drops finally confessed she felt guilty over what happened and that it should've been her to lose her horn instead." "So why wasn't it her?" Karai asked. "Fizzlepop was always the bravest of them, and always thought it had to be her to do anything that was too dangerous. Fizzlepop realized it was wrong of her to hold onto a grudge and the two made amends." "But if Glitter felt guilty over what happened, why didn't she try to reach out to her sooner?" Leo asked. "Yeah instead of just ignoring her." Casey said. "Glitter and their second friend Spring Rain wanted to, but when they watched how unhappy Fizzlepop felt when using her broken horn. They were already ridden with guilt they didn't wanna make her sadder by making her use it. Soon after they both attended Princess Celestia's school for Gifted Unicorns, but much like Starlight's friend Sunburst, they too dropped out from being unable to keep up with the advanced lessons." "Well, guess I'm not the only drop out." Sunset said. "They felt too ashamed to write to Fizzlepop about it, and yet it was something they all shared in common now. Now the three are good friends again." Blade smiled. "At least she's staying out of trouble." Leo said. "And you wanna know the best part?" "What?" the ninjas asked. "It was all set up by Princess Cadence." "What?" they asked. "Yeah. She sent Fizzlepop on a mission during her stay in Crystal Empire with her old friend knowing this was the right opportunity for them to make amends. And it was a success." "Ain't it nice to see how much old enemies are learning new things?" Mikey asked, as everyone had to agree. Meanwhile deep in the Everfree Forest inside a cave sat Chrysalis, Shredder, and Krang, "Chrysalis, you've been keeping Shredder and I in the dark long enough. What do you have in mind to rid us of those bothersome turtles and those puny ponies?" Krang inquired. "At this point I doubt she has a plan at all." Shredder said sounding equally irritated. The former Queen turned towards the two glaring, thus shutting them up. Once she saw they knew their place, she smirked, "Patience, you two. For this plan of mine to work, I need a little something from the ninjas." "And how are you going to get close to them without blowing your cover?" Shredder asked. "You forget already? I'm a master of disguise. And to get close to the four ninjas I need to take on a familiar look," Chrysalis suddenly changed into her old photographer pony disguise. Shredder and Krang looked astounded at her disguise as the undercover former queen spoke, "Trust me, you two, when this is over the Turtles will have met their match." she grinned evilly.
