“What is happening, sister, why is the sky look so... angry?” Luna asked as she and her sister, Celestia stood by a window, looking at the once clear sky turn into something more chaotic than when Sombra attempts to take over Equestria.
“I don't know, Luna” Celestia said “but I'm sure this strange phenomenon means trouble”
Luna became worried “Whatever is doing this, we had to stop them from destroying Equestria and our subjects”
Celestia was about to say something when green fire appeared from nowhere and a scroll emerged, landed on Celestia's horn which glowed yellow and the scroll.
Dear, Princess Celestia
I was just looking at the sky when storm clouds gathered and the sky turn red. The ponies in Ponyville haven't panic yet but i'm they'll soon will as they are now confused and began to ask questions. Rainbow Dash arrived in my castle just as Spike was writing this letter. She said that she couldn't move the clouds which was very confusing. I believe this is caused by a magic spell, if not, then it could be something else or worse the possible return of King Sombra. I will gather my frineds inside my castle.
Your most faithful student and Princess, Twilight Sparkle
“I believe all of was written by Twilight Sparkle is what you are about to say, Tia?” Luna said, looking at the letter.
Writer Rhyme hit the wall behind him when the monster formerly Windy Breeze tossed him. He was slumped on the wall behind him as the monster gave him a lifeless cold stair. It spread Windy's wings, revealing blades made of out bones covered with blood of the former Wonderbolt. The creature lunged at the stallion, who quickly shut his eyes, knowing the monster will give him a 'bad treatment'.
However, the 'treatment' never happened and what he never expect is to hear a familiar voice.
“Writer Rhyme, I finally found you!” he slowly open his house. He found himself wrapped in a hug by the monster. No, this is not a monster, this is still Windy Breeze.
“Windy... is that really you?” he said. Windy clocked her head.
“Are you asking me like if the sky is blue? Then yes, I am Windy Breeze” Windy said, there was a little change with her voice, her voice had a hoarse now compare at the previous days when her voice was clear of it. She didn't even seem to notice her mutations.
“Windy... look at yourself” he told her.
“What are you talking about? What's wrong with bo-” she stopped as she finally notice her body changes. Her eyes widened at the sight of her new fleshy mutilated forelegs. “Ah... Ah... Ah...NO!” she kneeled in horror and disbelief. She put one of her blade to her... Bloodstained uniform “Spitfire is gonna teach me a lesson to this!” she yelled, earning a facehoof from her friend.
“The uniform is a problem later but your new appandeges and new body parts are the problem right now. You can't just out with two new hooves hanging out of your stomach!” Windy gaze at him, then at her stomach. Indeed there are two new hooves hanging out of her opened stomach. Windy poke her new hooves with one of her blades.
“I didn't feel any pain from that. Strange”
Writer rolled his eyes “If Ponyville even had town guards, they would already call you 'abomination from Tartarus' and immediately start attacking you, then the news about you will spread throughout Equestria and beyond, surely the Wonderbolts will hear the news” Windy cringed and her ears fall flat at the thought of Spitfire and the other Wonderbolts, reading a newspaper about her.
“So, what do you think should I do?” she asked.
“Stay in your house. I'll do the cleaning while you stay in your bedroom. I might even get help from Twilight, we both know she's one of the most trusting ponies here in Ponyville and out of the Main Six, just behind Fluttershy” Writer explained, going out of the bedroom. He slumped on the bedroom door and moaned “Ugh, why me, why do I have to deserve this?”
After 2 hours of cleaning, Writer sat on the couch which he fixed by using tapes (he injured himself when he tried knitting) he then yelled for Windy.
“Hey Windy, you can come out now!”
As if a cue, a blade suddenly jut out of the door, it tried to remove itself from the door but was unable to do so. Suddenly, Windy bust through the door, shattering it to pieces, much to Writer's dismay, as evidenced by his grumble.
“Windy,” he said “Another one to fix?” the mare smiled sheepishly.
“Sorry, I just can't to get the door open with my new forelegs” she said, looking at her 'forelegs' “Maybe I should use my wings”
“Oh no, your wings are just the same. One hug can seperate a pony from their limbs” he told her, pointing at her wings. Windy looks at wings, then unfurled it, revealing 4 sharp blades covered in dried blood.
“You're right” she lowered her head in sadness. Writer stood up from the couch and went to his friend with a pitiful look.
“I'm very sorry to see you in this kind of state but if we aren't careful, then it could lead not our own downfall but somepony else. I don't want risking you murder somepony by accident” his horn glowed and one of the tips of one the blade that was once the wingtips are engulfed in his yellow magic as he examine it “Too sharp and this could cut a skin even if nudged by somepony” he move to her side and decided to test if his speculation is true. He lowered her wing using his magic and raised his left foreleg. He sofly ran down his limb, the skin making contact with the sharp bony wingtip. He jumped and let out a yelp, looking at his foreleg which now has a long cut and some blood sipping out. “Ugh, this is more painful than i thought it would be” he hissed.
“Are you okay, Writer Rhyme?” Windy asked with concern.
“No, I'm... fine” he gave her an assuring smile “This is just a normal flesh wound” he said “But I don't know what to do with you now especially you had those bony appandeges that could probably slice a pony limbless”
“Writer Rhyme, Eww!”
“Sorry, Windy, i couldn't remove the thought of how much trouble you could cause if the other ponies saw you” he then pondered.
“How about we tell either Princess Twilight Sparkle or Fluttershy, we could get some help from them especially they are the bearers of the elements of harmony” Windy suggested, receiving a bright smile from her friend.
“That's a great idea, Windy” he said, his smile suddenly turn into frown “No, no, just a good idea, Fluttershy might faint or even scream into town as if she thought your a monster and I lured her here to feed you” his smile then returned “But we knew Twilight could help us. Despite not as kind as Shy, she won't panic over seeing a mutated pony” he then went to the front door and quickly open it “Windy Breeze, whatever you do, if I'm not the one knocking on the door, don't open okay?”
“Yes, I won't open the door in all cost” Windy said.
“Pinkie Promise?”
She rolled her eyes “Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my- AHH!” Windy accidentally stabbed her right eye with her blade, earning a horrified look from Writer Rhyme, who immediately closed the door as she glared in his direction.
“Hey, you owe an apology!”
“Okay, did the weather control pegasi messed up the weather or Rainbow Dash slept too late?” Writer Rhyme looks at the sky with Windy's house just behind him. The sky look more menacing as if a storm is about to come but he doubt about that since there are too many ponies wandering outside, all staring at the dark sky above them. “Strange, what could have caused this?” Writer mused as he was walking, not paying attention to where he was going.
I bet he's going to bump to somepony-
“Ow!”
Oh, here we go.
He suddenly collided with someone headfirst, causing him and the other pony to took a step back from each other, both shaking their heads. Writer was the first one to recover and he look infront of him to see dazed Blossomforth.
“Ow, what's the big idea?” she was still unaware that the fact she's talking to the stallion who's heart is after her! Writer had been secretly fall in love with her but couldn't do anything since she was mostly at Cloudsdale and she live at the cloud city, she barely goes to Ponyville.
“Oh, are you okay, miss?” Writer decided to pretend that he doesn't know her, after all this is how protagonist turn into a couple in the books he read “I'm so sorry for bumping to you!”
“I'm fine sir” she look up at Writer and smiled “See? There's nothing to worry about”
“Are you sure, miss?”
“I'm okay, really” she said “Hey, I haven't seen you before”
“Nor I haven't seen you either” he said.
She rolled her eyes “Yes, perhaps an introduction would be great to know each other” she said “My name is Blossomforth. And you are?”
“Writer Rhyme, Miss Blossom” he said casually “So what takes you here in Ponyville?”
“I was going to meet Thunderlane and Cloud Kicker at the gym so we can test our flexibility” she the glance at the sky and frowned “but I think I had to stay here since the weather doesn't look too good”
He lifted an eyebrow “But you're a pegasus and you may be not a member from the weather control pegasi, you can just move the clouds”
“Oh no, don't give me that logic, Writer Rhyme” she said “We pegasi may control the weather but not the more wild ones like those from the Everfree Forest or those that came straight out of the tales of Nightmare Moon” she then look up at the sky again “And this? I'm very clueless about those ones”
“Never seen those clouds before? That's the same for all of us” he move beside her “Well, I better get going and see if Princess Twilight Sparkle had some explanation for this. Have a good morning, Blossomforth”
“Yeah, have a good stormy morning to you too, Writer Rhyme” she waved at him as he leave.
“Okay, I'm here” Writer Rhyme stood just infront of the large doors of Twilight's castle. He had speculated that the princess of friendship is very busy because of the sky above and being an egghead. He smirked at that thought of the princess swimming in a sea of books inside her new library. This thought eased his nervousness.
He knocked on the door several times and waited.
“Coming!” the door opened, revealing Spike “Oh, Mr. Rhyme, what do you need?”
“I want to speak with your sister” Writer said.
Spike looked at him “Wait a minute” the dragon sht the door again. He could hear voices from inside the castle but it was too unintelligible to understand. Finally, after a few seconds, Spike opens the door once again “You can come inside. Twilight is waiting for you at the throne room”
“The throne room? Finally, Twilight acknowledged that she's a princess” Spike rolled his eyes.
“Nah, she haven't yet. The throne room is where she talked to her friends and where they gather when the the map finds a friendship problem” he explained.
“Twilight also has a magical map, huh?” Writer snorted as they went up the stairs “I'm so jealous of her”
Spike leads him inside the throne room. Sitting on her throne is Princess Twilight Sparkle, who was tapping her hooves on a round table as she read a book. The mare brought her gaze away to look at him “So, what do you want to talk about, Writer Rhyme”
“Windy needs your help. She's in trouble and she has to stay inside her house” Writer told her.
Twilight jumped out of her throne, her eyes filled with worry. She levitated her book and gave it to Spike “Spike, can you take the book to my library?”
“Sure thing, Twilight!”
Writer watched as Spike leaves with the book. He then looks at Twilight “Twilight, i want you to pinkie promise”
Twilight raised an eyebrow “For what?”
“Well, I want you to pinkie promise that you won't freak out when he arrived at Windy's house”
“But why would I freak out?” Twilight asked.
Writer rolled his eyes “Oh, I don't know” he mocked, then got into Twilight's face and yelled “Maybe because my friend is morphing into a monsters UGLIER than the monsters from Tartarus!”
Writer Rhyme and Twilight Sparkle soon arrived at Windy's house. Both ponies are very worried that a friend is turning into a monster.
Twilight flared up her horn with her magic as the door infront of her is enveloped by her light brilliant raspberry magic aura. She then looks at the author beside her “So, can you describe me what monster she's transforming into?”
“Well, her forelegs had morphed into... Something I can't describe other than gruesome... gruesome as loosing her lower jaw” Twilight cringed at that part, which stops the stallion from describing the monster lurking inside the house “Her wings had also changed as well”
“Her wings?” Twilight parroted.
“Yeah. The feathers are gone... And in their place are sharp pointy bones that could cut anything it touches”
“This is so serious, we had to tell Celestia la-” before Twilight could finish, Writer puts a hoof to her mouth, his expression morphing into a glare.
“No, I don't the princesses of Equestria and of the Crystal Empire to get involved. this is just between you and me” Twilight tried to remove his offending with her magic but before she could say anything, he covered her mouth again “Do you understand, Princess Twilight of friendship?”
Twilight rolled her eyes. Writer removes his hoof so she could speak.
“Fine”
Writer gave her a thankful smile “Good, but first, I want you to cast a sound barrier spell in the house”
“Okay, I had the spell ready” Twilight told him. She gently open the door, allowing her and Writer inside. They found the living room empty whilst Writer sighed in relief that Windy didn't made any further damage to the room.
“I'm glad she didn't destroy the entire house while i'm gone” he said, closing the door behind them. Twilight looked him and lifted an eyebrow at him “Don't question it”
Twilight looks away from him. She walk towards the couch but stopped. There on the couch is blanket concealing a body of a pony, a blue tail hanging off the blanket. Twilight hesitated before wrapping the blanket with her magic.
“Twilight, wait”either she ignored the yell or it was too late, Twilight pulled the blanket out of the concealed pony, revealing a pegasus, biting it's bloodstained bladed wings. The lower jaw was gone, and the forelegs are heavily mutilated, the mare was still wearing her uniform albeit torn by the process of l the transformation, but what made Twilight sick is there was two new blue legs jutting out of her now open stomach.
As if sensed her presence, Windy opened her eyes, revealing pure red eyes with a pair of red dark orbs, staring into her soul.
