//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Princesses of Power // by BronyBoy98 //------------------------------// "Adora? Adora??" a voice called out. Adora was lying on the ground when opened her eyes to see a bright blue sky. The sun was shining in her face as she reached to the sky to block the light in her eyes. That's when Adora saw what she was holding up was not a hand but a hoof. "What?" Adora said confused as she lifted her other hand but saw it was also a hoof. "What happened to my.." Adora began before getting up off the ground; but then she felt that her feet had also become hooves. "Oh no, Catra!" Adora panicked, "Glimmer! Bow!" "AAAAAH!" came a scream, Adora recognized it as Glimmer's. Adora ran towards where Mara's ship had crashed. Adora and the ship appeared to be on a clear grassy field in the middle of a forest. As Adora ran, she saw what appeared to be a light purple pony looking at her hooves and backside. "Glimmer?" Adora asked. The pony turned to look at Adora and gasped. "Adora?" asked the purple pony as Adora nodded. "What just happened? Why am I a pony? Why are you a pony? What's going on??" asked Glimmer frantically. Glimmer was a light purple pony with pink eyes, a sparkling pink and purple mane and tail, had a small horn on her forehead and on her flank was a white moon crescent. "I guess going through that portal transformed us, somehow." Adora said looking at herself. Adora was a light beige pony with light blue eyes, light brown mane and tail and had a symbol on her flank resembling her Sword of Protection cutting the symbol of the Horde on a green badge in half. Adora did not have a horn. "Are you guys ok?" asked Bow running up to them. "Bow??" said Glimmer, "You look.." Glimmer couldn't finish what she saying, she was staring at what Bow had become. Bow was a yellow pony with a black mane and tail, red eyes, and appeared to have wings. Bow also had a symbol on his flank resembling a quiver full of arrows inside a red badge. "I know right?" Bow said looking at himself. "Where are the others?" Adora asked. Bow pointed a hoof towards the ship "We landed behind the ship there." Bow said as more of Adora's transformed friends approached. Scorpia had been turned into a big red pony with rose eyes, white mane and tail and had the symbol of a scorpion on her flank; but she didn't appear to have wings or a horn. Entrapta was a snow white pony with rose eyes, a lilac mane and tail and had symbol resembling purple crystal with circuit traces on it. Entrapta did not appear to have wings or a horn. Swift Wind didn't seem that different other than the fact he had become slightly shorter than his previous height and the symbol on his flank was The Sword of Protection. "Has anyone seen Catra?" Adora asked and everyone shook their heads. Suddenly a growling came from the bushes behind Adora as she turned to face them. "Catra?" Adora asked hopefully. Suddenly, something jumped out the bushes and tackled Adora. Adora looked up saw what had her pinned to the ground. It was a orange pony with glowing green eyes, white freckles, fangs, a cedar brown mane and tail, pointy ears and appeared to have dark brown hooves that had orange claws coming out of them. "Catra, it's me, Adora." said Adora looking at her transformed friend. Catra stopped growling and got off of Adora before Adora stood up. "Sorry," Catra said, "That was...weird." Adora looked at Catra and noticed she had a symbol of a black cat with yellow eyes on her flank. "Ok, so we've all been turned into ponies, except Swift Wind." said Adora. "And I still look good." said Swift Wind with a smile. "Entrapta," Adora said, "How's Darla?" "Badly damaged," Entrapta said, "her exterior seems perfectly intact but her interior circuits are fried and she's out of fuel." "Ok, we'll need to find fuel, find help to repair most of the ship, and help anyone here in need. Does that sound like a plan?" "I'm in." said Glimmer raising a hoof. "Me too." said Bow raising a hoof with everyone else. "Ok, let's do it." Adora said, "Together." Princess Twilight Sparkle looked around the big dark cave she was in. "How did I get here?" Twilight thought to herself as she walked. The last thing Twilight remembered was that she was reading the latest Daring Do novel, Daring Do and The Spear of Victory. She had no memory of leaving The Castle of Friendship or taking a walk in the Everfree Forest. Twilight walked around the cave until she reached a big room where she saw a big stone chest in the center. Twilight knew exactly what was in the chest. "Why would I come here to see this?" Twilight pondered. Suddenly she heard laughter. Twilight recognized the laughter immediately. "No, it can't be." Twilight said. Twilight began to hear to thunder and wind howling, Twilight was now more afraid than ever. "No, it can't be you, you can't be here." Twilight said panicking. "Twilight?" a voice called out. "Who's there?" Twilight responded. "Twilight? Twilight!" the voice repeated and then Twilight found herself in her bedroom face to face with Spike. Twilight made a sound of relief. She had just been having a bad dream. "Are you ok, Twilight?" asked Spike. "Yea, I'm alright, Spike." replied Twilight as she got out of her bed. "Are you sure?" asked Spike, "You kept repeating 'Blue Box,' over and over again while you were asleep." "It was just a bad dream." Twilight said while Spike kept looking at her, "I'm fine, really." "Ok, if you say so." Spike said before leaving the room. Twilight then looked out her window to the castle. In the distance, she could see Pegasi pushing dark clouds together. There was a storm scheduled for today, and it was going to be a big one.
