//------------------------------// // Chapter 10: The Grand Galloping Gala // Story: Elemental! // by MlpHero //------------------------------// The Trio got dressed for the gala. Element Aura remembered the organization the princesses mentioned. MPF Element Aura thought. Were they the ones at the house and on the bridge? “Hey Aura, it’s time,” Crimson Strike said. “Coming,” Element Aura replied. “Who else is coming?” Element Aura asked. “Well Twilight and her friends, Some of the students from school, our friends Gallus the Griffin, Ocellus the Changeling, Silverstream the Hippogiff, Sandbar the Pony, Smolder the Dragon, and Yona the Yak, and a bunch of rich ponies,” Crimson Strike replied. “Oh, nice,” Element Aura said smiling. “Hey you two, it’s time!” Boltfire said. “Alright,” Element Aura replied. The three walked down the hallway towards the gala. There were decorations as far as the eye could see. “There’s Vinyl Scratch,” Boltfire said pointing at a white pony with sun glasses playing the music. “Her nickname is D.J Pon3,” Crimson added. They walked around, greeting everyone and introducing Element Aura to new Ponies. A few more minutes go by and the Princesses walk out. “Look, it’s Flurry Heart,” Boltfire said pointing towards Cadence holding a small filly. “Welcome every creature to the Grand Galloping Gala—“ Celestial was interrupted by sounds from behind the door. “What in tarnation?” Applejack asked. A guard flew through the doors and crash into the wall. “Elemental!” A voice called. A black Unicorn with a red mane walked into the room. “May we help you?” Cadence asked. The Unicorn smiled as he eyed Flurry Heart. “Well, she’s no Elemental, but she’ll do,” the Unicorn said. Element Aura ran behind the throne. The Unicorn teleported towards Cadence and raised his horn to attack. “No!” Shining Armor Yelled running as fast as he could. Element Aura teleported in front of the attack and blocked the attack. The two engaged in horn to horn combat. “You are strong, Alicorn,” the Unicorn said. The Unicorn teleported and he caught Element Aura off guard. Element Aura missed his attack and dug his horn into the ground. The Unicorn lifted Element Aura up with Levitation and threw him into Shining Armor. The Unicorn snatched Flurry Heart away from Cadence. Element Aura got and jumped and shot an Ice spell at the Unicorn, but he teleported away. “Flurry Heart!” Cadence yelled. Everyone froze, Cadence was crying, Shining Armor ordered Guards and Search Parties, and Twilight and her friends were about to leave to go find Flurry Heart. Eventually all the ponies except the Mane six, the princesses, the Guards, Element Aura’s brothers, the student six, Ember, Thorax, and Pharynx, had left. Element Aura saw a map on the ground. He picked it up and looked at it. He looked up to see his brothers tending to the injured Guard. “What’cha got there?” Someone asked. He turned to see six creatures. “Oh, you must be Boltfire and Crimson Strike’s friends,” Element Aura said. “That’s right,” Silverstream said. “We didn’t know there was a fifth princess,” Gallus said. “Oh no I’m,” Element Aura paused, he looked over towards his brothers, Boltfire mouthed “you can trust them. “Can you six keep a secret?” Element Aura asked. “Yes,” Someone said. The group turned around. “Ember,” Smolder said. “Thorax, Pharynx,” Ocellus followed. “Care to tell us?” Thorax asked. “Sure, stand back,” Element Aura said. “Elemental!” Element Aura changed from Alicorn to Earth pony. “I’m Boltfire and Crimson’s brother,” He said. The Creatures awed at Him. He turned his attention to the map he had. “Sorry, I have to go,” Element Aura said. He ran towards Shining Armor and grabbed his helmet off his head. Everyone’s attention turned to Element Aura. He ran past the Mane Six. “Hey, stop!” Rainbow Dash said. He stopped and turned around. “Fluttershy, there are probably more injured guards down the hall, take care of them.” Element Aura jumped out of the window. “Elemental!” Element Aura flew away. “I won’t come back without Flurry Heart!” Element Aura said.
