The writer and Fluttershy were walking on the road. They just left Ponyville and their aim was Canterlot, where the villains of Equestria gathered up. Their leader was an unknown evil pony called Phantom, who wants to steal the writer’s power, as the other villains do too.
In her cottage, Fluttershy gave the writer some armor and swords. After that, they began the quest to finish the evil ponies and free the princesses from Tartarus.
It was dawn, when they reached the huge field. No trees, no bushes, just grass all around, filled with colorful flowers. In the distance they saw the mountain where the capital city of Equestria was. It seemed so beautiful, yet so inaccessible.
Sometimes Fluttershy left the young boy alone when she flew up and searched for any evil spies, who were able to follow and attack them. When the area was clear, she went back to the writer. The boy wore a medieval armor set with a sword. The book which Twilight gave to Fluttershy was in the backpack the writer brought. it was a fact that the stories written by the writer became reality in Equestria, this time, he can use this ability as a weapon. This is why the villains were hungry to his power.
What could possibly happen if, for example, King Sombra, or Queen Chrysalis could steal his ability and misuse it? Definitely a disaster.
“Shy, can I ask a question?” Asked the writer.
“Of course, what is it?”
“Back on Earth I wrote so many MLP stories. I wrote in my school notebooks and on my computer as well. Did those writings become real too?”
“Yes. Every single word. We had a great time while being inside your writings, even if we didn’t know they were just stories. You have a vivid imagination, by the way.”
“Thanks.”
“Will you still write stories after we finish this quest?”
“Certainly. I’ll write down our adventure as a story. I look forward to write again.”
“When you grow up, do you want to be a full-time writer, like A. K. Yearling?”
“Yeah. It will be hard of course, but I want to write books like other writers.”
“Good luck for that. It’s good to start small, like making short MLP stories.”
“This is what I enjoy the most. Writing about you, ponies and your experiences in the world of friendship.” He stopped for a moment. “If I could, I could write whole books about you and publish them.”
“So you love us, huh? That’s really nice from you.”
“Thank you.”
“I was right, when I said you are a very kind hooman. You’re indeed very kind.”
Suddenly Fluttershy heard something flying above them. She looked up the sky and saw not one, but five shadow silhouettes. they were ponies, but not as colorful. In addition they had insect-like wings.
“Changelings.” Fluttershy said. “Prepare yourself, hooman.”
“Okay.” The writer took the sword and was ready to fight. the five changelings were flying around them, finally they landed on the ground. When they looked at the writer, they opened their mouths and showed their tongue and sharp teeth.
The shapeshifters came to the two wanderers and said: “We bring you the message of our queen, Chrysalis. If you gave yourselves up and come with us, you will survive. Otherwise Phantom makes you prisoners in hell and you’ll suffer for evermore! This is the deal.”
The writer and Fluttershy looked at each other and blinked with a confident smile. They both attacked the changelings with their swords.
The fight began.
Some of the changelings flew up and, some shifted their forms into the form of Fluttershy and the writer. The original duo became confused for a minute. Taking advantage of this, the enemy surrounded them. One of the attackers, who pretended to be the writer, started terrorizing the yellow pegasus, who didn’t hesitated, she finished it with a cut. The fallen changeling disappeared. The other four became more wilder, the writer used his sword and shield to protect himself and his pony friend, but the shapeshifters flying in the air made it difficult. They threw big rocks onto them. Fluttershy dodged them and kicked them in the air. The human boy fought well against the changelings, but he never used swords before. This is why he couldn’t protect himself from biting.
Yes, the changelings got close to him and bit his legs and arms with their poisonous teeth. For the rest of the time the writer felt an unpleasant feeling in his body.
Once a shapeshifter made him fall on the ground. The black, insect-like creature wanted to bite his chest to take his beating heart out and eat it.
“Noooo!” Screamed Fluttershy, who could not help him, because the other changelings didn’t let her. Before the one, who was on the writer’s chest could bite into his heart, the human clenched his fist and hit the shapeshifter’s face with full power. The black insect pony fell on the ground, but he was still angry.
The writer ran away from him and searched for his bag, where the brown book was. He took it and with a quill he started writing quickly. He knew this will definitely help.
But the fight wasn’t over...
In the darkest minute, when it looked like everything will get worse, an arrow flew next to the writer’s face, it crashed into the heart of the changeling which was trying to stand up. After a second, two other arrows killed two changelings.
It did happen after a moment. A real narrow flew straight into an enemy, followed by two other ones that finished the most of the changelings.
Only one enemy remained. He looked around in confusion and fear. It flew up and tried to escape, but nothing can run away from the faith. The last arrow brought it down. Fluttershy and the writer were safe.
The arrows were coming from the near woods. Unknown creatures were moving among the trees, and one they all showed up. Actually they were quite familiar to the duo.
They were ponies, griffons and dragons: Gilda, Spike, Ember, Octavia, Vinyl, Lyra and the others even Discord showed up...
“Hello, Fluttershy.” Spike greeted her. Spike and the team were coming out of the woods for real.
“Hi Spike!”
He turned to the writer, who was twice as big as him. “Wow. You”re the writer, I suppose.”
“Oh gosh!” Said Gilda and shaked hands with the human. “I’m glad to see you here, Mr. Writer!”
Discord greeted Shy with a hug. “I was so worried about you and the others. I’m happy Phantom did not catch you.”
Then Discord flew next to the writer, like a floating serpent. He shrunk down to a real snake’s size and floated around the boy’s head. “Well, well, well. The writer. A kind from another unknown world. Such an interesting thing to think of.”
“Are you here to help us?” Asked Queen Ember, the blue dragon.
“I am.” The writer said. “And you? Why are you here?”
“We are the Rebellion!” Said Pipsqueak happily. “We’re here to free Twilight and the others.”
“With your help, Phantom and the villains will fall.” Said Derpy.
“Will you join, little boy?” Asked Discord.
“Certainly.”
Fluttershy walked next to Spike. “Then what are we waiting for, let’s go!”
And the team started walking to Canterlot. There were about a hundred warriors behind Fluttershy and the writer. The Rebellion was growing in number, as they came closer and closer to the destination. Ponies from Appleloosa, the Crystal Empire, Yaks, Buffalos and more bigger dragons joined them along the way. The army that will save Equestria was growing nicely.
Once, a blue hood wearing pony slowly walked to the writer. He had long, white beard and as he showed his face to the writer, the human was surprised. "Oh, my! Starawirl, the bearded!" He said. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, too. Twilight told me you were the one, who wrote the story about us finishing Savage Vine."
"Well, it wasn't actually me entirely. Fluttershy helped me with giving me ideas."
"I enjoyed being in it. Also I have a question for you."
"What is it?"
"How do hoomans like you know about Equestria and us? Did hoomans live in here in the past? Or did they travel to here from your homeworld?"
"No, not at all." The writer smiled. "It's difficult to explain."
"Please try. I'm interested in your kind."
"Okay." And the writer started talking about the MLP cartoon series as clearly as he could. He knew ponies weren't as modern as humans, but he tried to tell Starswirl that on Earth the history of Equestria and the adventures of the mane six is a fiction.
"Interesting. A box called TeleVision, driven by electricity, and you say this device works like a projector. You can watch movies in it. And hoomans can watch us doing things in Equestria. And hoomans can write stories about us too. This is so brilliant! Maybe our pony scientists will be able to invent this incredible machine after the harmony will be fixed and the evil ponies will be punished."
He said goodbye to the writer and went back to talk to other ponies, who were prepared to fight. They wore armor, just like Fluttershy. There was an emblem on the armors' flank, a beautiful blue tree. The Tree of Harmony. this emblem reminded the Rebellion to never lose hope.
