//------------------------------// // Chapter 9: Discussion between siblings // Story: The Oddyssey of Sunlight Blaze, rise of a hero, Volume 1: Meet Sunlight Blaze // by Justafanfictioner //------------------------------// Sunset Shimmer had invited Sunlight in her chamber so he and her could talk to each and learn more of each other. Sunlight began, sit on a chair to talk. “I was raised in Canterlot, he said. My parents were member of the high society and they were rich, they had no difficulty to find for me the best schools. I attempted first the school of magic when Celestia discovered that i was special. But that was short lived when my parents wanted me to make other things than magic.” He took a pause of 1 minute, then continue “They wanted...i mean, my father wanted me to learn sciences and enrolled me in mechanic and technology classes, which were very interesting. Then, my mother wanted me to learn the fashion and enroll me in designs and sewing classes, that was not so bad and when i learned that Rarity, one of my idols, was a fashionista, i really gave my 100%. Then, i chose in the same time to take art martial lessons in karate and judo. But in secret, i was still learning magic, that passion never died. Then i persuaded my parents to send me at the school of Friendship. I stayed here for a long time, until a crazy pegasi named Cozy Glow tried to steal the magic of Equestria. Worried for me, my parents take me out of the school and for the next years, i decided to take cooking classes to pass the time. Until i get old enough to leave them. So my first thought was to attempt again the school of Friendship and i made a lot of cool friends. I spent one week here, but that was the most beautiful week of my life. Then i received the mirror from Cadence as a gift and you know what came next.” “Wow, she said. Lucky you, my life was not easy as your one. First, my parents were harsh and demanding, they exploited my gift for magic for their own gain. When Celestia told them i could became a princess one day, they immediately sent me to her school. They were always putting pressure on me and more the time passed, the more my anger and hatred toward them grew, So, i had enough, i wanted to punish them for what they did and for that, i had to became a princess. But Celestia saw the hate and the anger in my heart, and how they were affecting my mind and thoughts. So one fateful night, she surprised me trying to cheat and was deceived. She sent my in this world, hoping i would one day, come back to her changed. But this is not what happened, instead of becoming good, i followed a path of darkness, and soon became the Big Meanie of C.H.S, during 3 long years. I knew the portal would open again and i had prepared a plan to take my revenge on Celestia and my parents. But you know what happened next, if you followed all of Twilight’s adventures...” “I didn’t knew that, he said. I knew about the crown being stolen, but not what happened next” “Really, she asked? So, i suppose i will have to explain it to you. She followed me in this world for mission to take the crown back. I was supposed to get the crown directly but Fluttershy gave it to principal Celestia, who decided to gave it to the girl who will be elected Princess of the Fall Formal. I made sure to make everyone vote for me, but then Twilight arrived and also decided to run for the title of princess. I used horrible means to prevent her from winning the crown, but none of them worked and she finally won at the end. I decided to go radical to get it and after a little battle. I got the crown, but it corrupted me, transforming me in a raging she-demon who enslaved the students of the school. But Twilight, with the help of her friends in this world, also incarnating the 5 elements of harmony, beat me. After that, i redeemed myself when i saved the school from 3 mythological creatures from Equestria called the Sirens.” “Wait, he said. You mean you and your friends faced them in your school? I heard their legend and that they were terrifying, and you defeated them?! You are awesome!!” The compliment made her blush. She continued by telling him what happened next: Crystal PREP and Midnight Sparkle, Camp Everfree and Gaia Everfree, Juniper Montage, Wallflower Blush and the Memory Stone, Equestria Land and Vignette Valencia, The Cruise and the Storm King magic and finally Starswirl Festival and Post-Crush. “...And this is everything me and me friends faced, she said. All that in a year... So, what do you think?” Sunlight was voiceless. He was stupefied to see that she lived his dream. “You are the lucky one, he said. You had the chance to live all these adventures? Fighting all these threats?! Do you know how much i would gave to be at your place? Sure, i lived the childhood you didn’t have but you lived the adventures i always wanted to live!!” “Guess the fate decided that we would live the ideal lives of each other, she answered. Now that we talked about our past, let’s talk about us.” Sunlight show to Sunset the relics he bought from Starswirl. “Like you, i have a gift for magic, he said. But not any sort of gift. I discovered that my body is bounded with the fire element.” “What? She asked. Bounded with fire? What does that mean?” “I should show you instead, he answered. Do you know where i can find a source of fire or heat somewhere?” “Hum, i have the kit to start a fire, she answered. Follow me.” She brought him outside and used a pile of wood to start a fire. Sunlight told her to stay away and at her total surprise, walk ed in the fire. “What are you doing?! Are you crazy!!?” she yelled. But then, she saw his body absorbing the fire in less than a second. That let her stupefied. “You...You just absorbed the fire..., she said. What the hay?!” “I do, he said. Fire is the source of my energy.” They then returned in Sunset’s chamber and during the way, Sunlight explained everything about his special ability, including the good and bad sides. When he had finished, he asked to Sunset a place where he could stay. “Well, I know one place where you could live, she answered. One of my friends want a roommate, the advantage is you will have to paid half of the rent and him, the rest. Do you have money on you?” “My parents gave me 10 000 bits, he said. But i doubt your world use that monetary device...” “Hum, Bits are made of gold, no?” she asked. “Yes” he answered. “Gold is something very valuable in this world and can be converted to money, she explained. I need to know the weight of one piece!” “Every bits have a weight of 100 grams, said Sunlight. I have 10 000 of them, so that made in total 1000 kg of gold.” She used her laptop and a calculator to determine the total value in money. “Holy fucking shit!!! She said. You have actually the equivalent of 50 000 000 dollars in that purse!!” “By your reaction, i must deduce that is a lot” he said. “A lot? Are you motherfucking kidding me? You are a fucking millionaire!! Only a few number of peoples have that amount of money on them!! Wait, how do you carry 1 ton of gold on you?” “With a...Magic Purse!!!, he said, talking like a guy in a commercial. Magic Purse, you won't lose your bits anymore!!! You can put any amount of bits and nopony can access it except you!!! This revolutionary purse use a pocket dimension to stock your precious coins!! You can have yours today for the amount of 500 bits, but that's not all!! You will also give a free ticket to Chaos Land if you are in of the 1000th first to command one!! 100% guaranteed satisfaction!! Uh... Sorry, i had to do it, Discord gave me one at the condition i said that at least 1 time. They are able to contain unlimited amount of bits!! I just have to ask for a certain amount of bits and it will give them to me. He also told me that he had the intention to commercialize it. And to be honest, his idea doesn't sound so bad..." “If we want to convert your gold into money, she said, we have to go at a bank. I know someone who have many banks but i am not sure if he want to see me!” She took her car and told Sunlight to get in. They arrived after 30 minutes to the only bank of Canterlot called Filthy Investments Inc and entered the building. But at the moment she entered, she was welcomed by Mr. Rich himself. “Well well, he said. Sunset Shimmer! I Didn’t forgot what you did to me last time we saw each other. But you know what, you saved me from an economic disaster!! I instead decided to built my Spa Center somewhere else.” “I imagine that after the Gaia Everfree event, no one would have come to you spa anyway.” she said. “Not only that, but that would have gave a bad reputation to me, said the investor. I realized that your camp was too important emotionally for the town. This is why i bought instead a spa already in bankruptcy and changed his name. But let’s talk about something else. So, what can i do for you, Miss Shimmer?” “This is for my brother, she said. He is a treasure hunter and found a lot of gold in his last adventure” “We talk of how much gold?” he asked. “How about 500 kg of pure gold?” said Sunlight, who knew exactly how to deal with investors, thank to his father’s lessons “Are you kidding me? He said, seeing it nowhere on him. Where is that gold?” “In my purse, answered Sunlight. You’ll see it when you will convert my gold into money, and open an account.” “Follow me, he said, First, we will begin by opening you an account, then, my employees will convert the value of your gold on the most profitable currency, then the money will be added to your account” The owner of the bank led Sunlight to his office and told to one of his employees to open an account at the name of Sunlight Blaze. When that was done, Rich brought Sunlight to is underground gold vault. “Now, show me that gold” he asked. Sunlight told to the purse he wanted 5000 bits and soon after, the 5000 pieces of gold fell on the floor in front of Filthy’s stupefied face. “Don’t ask, said the young man. You wanted the proof, so there it is...” Filthy called his financial agents and told them to immediately begin the procedures. “Now, that will take a few minutes, he said. Let’s return to my office.” The two siblings headed to his office and waited patiently. 15 minutes later, one of the employees called Mr. Rich to tell him that the money had been transfer to his account. Before Sunlight left, Rich gave him 1000$ in liquid (from Sunlight account) Then the code to access to his account and his own credit card. “That was a pleasure to make affairs with you, Mr. Blaze, said Filthy Rich. Know your money his in good hands! And just so you know, you have actually 25 millions$ in your account. And with the fluctuation of the gold value, it could get higher!” The two siblings left the building and returned in direction of Sunset’s apartment. “So, now that i have the money, asked Sunlight. Where is the place you told me about?” 20 minutes later, she knocked on the door of someone. The door opened and a guy with blue hair welcomed them. “Ho, hi Sunset, said the guy. What bring you here?” “Hi, Flash, she said. You know, when you told you wanted a roommate, well, there he is! Wait, why are you not at school today?” “Hum, well, you see, today i was not feeling so good, he answered. So, i decided to not going in classes” “Whatever, this is my brother, Sunlight Blaze. Sunlight, this is the friend i talked about, Flash Sentry” “So, you are her brother! He said. I didn’t know you have one, Sunset.” “Long story, she answered. So, do you have a roommate yet?” “Nah, answered Flash, Your brother is welcome, if he have the money to pay the your 500$ rent.” Sunlight showed the money to him. “Good, he said. So just gave it to uh...The owners of the place.” The owners in questions were his parents, to who Flash presented Sunlight. They explained to him the conditions and the rules. At the end, They each gave 500$ to them. “Now that you have a room, said Sunset, I want to present you to my friends. You will love them!!” She took him by the arm and ran in direction of the school where her friends were certainly waiting for her. "Faster Sunlight!! she said to her brother out loud. Last to the school is a loser!!" "Why we don't take your car, instead?!" he asked.
