//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 - New Ponies and Old friends // Story: Friends across worlds // by Hydreigon_Omega //------------------------------// It has been several months sense dark Matter's Defeat Hydreigon thought, I haven't had this much free time in over 9,000 years, After seeing his friends in Lively Town, the way they were acting made him remember something, or in this case some-ponies. And then, an Idea struck him. Has it really been that many years sense the last time I saw them? Hydreigon thought, Maybe I should send a note first so they know that I am coming their way. So Hydreigon took a quill in his right hand mouth and started to write in equestrian, which he wasn't the best. As as you can expect not practicing another language for several thousands of years, he made many spelling mistakes, but he managed to fix most of them before sending the final one. Dear Celestia and Luna I regret that I haven't written to you two for a few years, because we never the prophecies would take place withing 40 years of each other. But I am making this letter as short as possible because I forgot how to properly write in equestrian. Sense the dark powers from prophecy heave been defeated, I was thinking about visiting the two of you and get back together. Sincerely, your EX-Royal advisor Hydreigon His eyes changed from a red to gold and the letter disappeared into green flames. A few days later he managed to get a reply back from the royal sisters. To my our friend Hydreigon We would love for you to visit us. But there have been a few complications, Our Niece Cadence just got married, and there was an impostor Cadence who almost got away with marrying the bridegroom, Shining armor. And we fear that they may be a little paranoid after that happened.Though they usually are a nice couple, they will be frightened by your intimidating appearance. On a side note, If you want, we could re-employ you as our royal advisor. From HRHs Princess Celestia and Luna P.S. A small reminder that we got a new castle from the last time you visited, So we've list the new coordinates for the new castle. E377B1 So Hydreigon made sure use these coordinates to go to the right place. He packed his supplies: A prism looplet, 3 perfect apples, 10 max elixirs, 10 Oran berries, 5 reviver seeds (just in case), 2 reusable TMs (Hyper voice and Tri-attack), and 10 heal seeds. He decided to try and use that same spell which accidentally sent him to Equestria 9,000 years ago.. And in the blink of an eye he vanished. A moment later he heard a big crash, it was him. "9,000 years" Hydreigon said as the dust began to settle,"9,000 years and I still need to fix that spell." After a few moments noticed a large crowd of ponies gathering around. "A dragon!" a purple unicorn exclaimed, "I have to write to Princess Celestia about this. Spike start writting a letter." Then her little dragon friend started to get out a blank letter. “And I presume you are Twilight Sparkle?” Hydreigon said. “How did you know my name?” Twilight asked “‘Tia wrote to me when you made it into magical kindergarten.” Hydreigon said, ”She, and her sister, are great friends of mine. And in her letter, I could tell that she was excited to have such a gifted unicorn to teach.” Twilight’s mouth hung open. “Spike, forget the letter” Twilight said. ”Could you pass me my bag?” Hydreigon asked, ”It has some of my stuff in it.” as he he’s gestures to the bag that he dropped. ”sure” Twilight said as she levitated the bag over to him. ”Thank you” Hydreigon said as he took the bag in his right hand mouth. With his other mouth he pulled out an oran berry and ate it.”That’s better,” He said as he got off his back and started to fly off the ground."Which way is the castle, I apparently teleported to the wrong location." "The castle should be somewhere over that direction." Twilight said gesturing towards the mountain. "Thank You," Hydreigon said,"Well it was nice to meet you Twilight, but I might as well get going. Good bye." He said as he took flight and started his way towards the castle. He had been flying for about half an hour, until he notice two pegasi, flying together. The two of them together seemed that they were enjoying conversation. The one on his left was a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane, and the one on the right was a yellow pegasus with a pink colored mane. "Excuse me," Hydreigon said startling them, "Could you tell me which way the castle is. I am horrible with directions." "EEP!" the yellow mare exclaimed, "A dragon." she said as she hid behind the cyan pegasus. Hydreigon could sense the fear in them, he hated being feared for his intimating form, but if he changed it to much he was scared that his friends may not recognize him. "Please don't be scared of me," Hydreigon said, "I am visiting some friends at the castle and I think I lost my way there." "How do I know your not going to eat the princesses." the cyan pegasus said with anger, "As far as I know, you could be lying about having friends at the castle." "Look, I am not lying I just what to know-" Hydreigon was cut off by a punch to his stomach. He looked down to see the cyan pegasus, with her hoof still in his stomach. There was remorse in his eyes when he opened his mouth to speak, "I'm sorry about this. Dark pulse." A blast of dark energy came from his left mouth as he blasted away the pegasus, knocking her out instantly. She was falling down to the ground, Hydreigon purposefully only used about 10% of it's power not to harm her to badly. When he noticed that she wasn't waking up, Hydreigon started to fly down after her, and if you got close enough you could hear him swearing in ancient equestrian under his voice. It was a race against gravity, every second the two of them going closer and closer to the ground. Hydreigon knew he wouldn't be able to catch her in time. But he still had one last trick "Protect" Hydreigon command as a bubble-like barrier surrounded the cyan pegasus, catching her mere inches off the ground. "Thank Arceus," Hydreigon said, "That was too close." "What in tarnation" an orange earth pony said, "is rainbow alright?" "I hope so." Hydreigon said lowering the barrier, "But, I am running late to meet some friends of mine. See you later." He said as he took off. "what was that all about." She said "I am not sure" The yellow pegasus said. Meanwhile at the castle, Celestia was sitting on her throne. She glanced over at her clock, it was about 6:30 the sun needed to be set soon. For some reason the amount of nobles and officials that wanted her presence was much more exhausting than she thought. She nearly fell to sleep while listening to her nephew, Blueblood, talk about the taxes and how they should be lowered for the nobles and heightened for every-pony else. Until... *Crash* Apparently Hydreigon got distracted while bird watching and flew right into a storm cloud which blasted him down into Celestia's throne room. "AHHH A DRAGON!!" Blueblood said firing a magic bolt at Hydreigon "Protect!" Hydreigon command as a barrier surrounded him and absorbed the bolt of magic. After lowering the barrier, "Oh hello Celestia," Hydreigon said happily,"It is nice to see you again." "Hello Hydreigon," Celestia said wide eyed in surprise, "I wasn't expecting you to be here so soon." "How in tartarus do you two know each other." Blueblood demanded. "Watch your tongue Blueblood," Celestia snapped, "He is an old friend of mine, and my sister." You could see Blueblood started to cower in fear, He had never seen Celestia so angry before. "I'm sorry about that Blueblood. I just don't want you to make a bad impression on my friend." "I am Hydreigon," he said with a bow, "Celestia has told me about you before," "What did she tell you about me." Blueblood asked impatiently, Celestia got a slight bit worried, but kept her composure none the less. "That you have a big heart and you are one of her smartest nobles." Hydreigon lied, and he sense an internal sigh of relief from celestia. "I KNEW IT" Blueblood said as he pranced his way home. He a smile the went from ear to ear, at least by human's standards. It would look quite odd for a pony. "I know honesty is an element of harmony," Celestia said, "But it is better if he didn't know the truth about I wrote about him." "I am aware," Hydreigon said, "Where is Luna? I haven't seen her ye-... Oh there she is." "Hydreigon." Luna yelled as she lunged for the dragon. Which subsequently knocked him over when Luna started to hug him. "My my, how you two have grown." Hydreigon said he moved Luna off him, "Last time we met, you didn't have such magical looking mains." "Princess?" A gaurd pony said, "is everything alr-" He answered his own question internally, when he saw the princesses in deep conversation with the dragon. From his perspective, it seemed as if they had been old friends that reunited after a long time. And they were. Celestia face darkened when she realized something."The sun was supposed to be set 5 minutes ago." Celestia's horn lit up as all three of them were teleported to the balcony. Then Celestia started lowering the sun to make sure nothing went wrong when doing so. "No matter how many times you've shown me you could do that in the past." Hydreigon said, "I couldn't believe it, and I still can't believe it." "Now one last thing I would like to ask before I send you to your new room," Celestia said, "Would you like to resume your title as our royal advisor." "I don't see why not" Hydreigon said as his stomach started to growl, "Looks like I'm hungry. Care for an apple?" Hydreigon said as he pulled out a melon of an apple out of his bag. "Sure, Dinner was only about 2 hours ago," Luna said taking the massive apple in her magic aura, "It was smaller than normal, so we're still a bit hungry." Hour pasted after their not-so-little picnic, Hydreigon was shown to his new room. Where had a bed, Later that night, somewhere in the dream realm. Luna when she noticed a door, it didn't look like the others. In fact it was decorated with lots and lots of flowers and plant life. Where the cutie-mark would've been was the Rainbows of Hope, a sight that was so mythical that it was said to give hope to even the most depressed of creatures. When Luna enter the door, she was greeted with a view that no creature from Equestria had seen before. The Rainbows of hope. Hydreigon sat at the edge of a large hill, looking at the view. "Hello Hydreigon," Luna said scaring the dragon. "How are you in my dream?" Hydreigon said catching himself before he fell off the edge. "Dream walking." Luna said. "I think I understand," Hydreigon said going to sitting back down where he was sitting, "Back home we have ones who also have that power. Care to join me watching the view?" "I believe I have time to spare." Luna said as she sat down beside Hydreigon. In the morning, Celestia was sitting on her throne working on some papers. When a royal guard opened the doors and ran towards Celestia. "News from northern equestria," The pony said, "Your highness." "Yes?" Celestia inquired "I am simply to tell you," He said, "That IT returned." Celestia made a small gasp. "Go and find Princess Cadence, and Shining Armor." Celestia told her guards, "Yes, your highness." The guard said. Celestia wrote a letter to Twilight Sparkle. "Hydreigon." Celestia whispered, "Come here please." Hydreigon started to appear out of thin air, "Yes?" Hydreigon asked, "Did you need something?" "He, has returned." Celestia said. Hydreigon face transformed from his normally happy self, to one of a serious tone.
