//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Princesses of Power // by BronyBoy98 //------------------------------// The Best Friend Squad had split up to stay with Twilight and her friends until Darla could be fixed. Glimmer decided to stay with Twilight in her castle, Bow was staying with Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Entrapta were staying together, Swift Wind went to stay with Rarity, Scorpia was staying with Applejack; and Adora and Catra were staying at Rainbow Dash's place in a city called Cloudsdale. The next day, Glimmer was reading in Twilight's castle library when Twilight walked in. "Do you like to read a lot?" Twilight asked. Glimmer looked away from the book she was reading. "I'm not much of a bookworm, I mostly spend my days sitting on a throne and teleporting everywhere." said Glimmer. "I use my magic a lot too," said Twilight, "but I'm usually getting called away to different places to help anyone in trouble." "Yea, it's like everyday is a new exhausting adventure." said Glimmer. "So I don't think we have the materials you need to fix your ship." said Twilight. Glimmer sighed. "I had a feeling that would happen," Glimmer said, "Etheria is very different from this place." "Well maybe we can't repair your actual ship, but we can still find a way to get you back to your world." said Twilight. "I hate being here" said Glimmer before looking at Twilight. Twilight looked at Glimmer and Glimmer realized what she had said. "I mean," Glimmer said trying to find the words to use, "I appreciate what you've done for me, for all of us; but you didn't have to offer for us to stay, we didn't want to be in your way." Twilight smiled. "You and your friends are not in anypony's way," Twilight said, "We wanted to help, so we did. And nopony deserves no help at all. Even ponies from another universe." This time Glimmer smiled, "Thank you Twilight." Glimmer said. "So, how do you think the rest of your friends are doing with my friends?" asked Twilight. "Knowing them, they're all probably being like how we are." said Glimmer. "IT'S NOT CUTE!" Catra and Adora were in Rainbow Dash's home where they were talking. Catra did not seem to be enjoying the stay at the moment. "Aww, you're just a cute wittle kitten." Rainbow Dash teased. "Ugh, I'm not cute. That was one time." Catra said. "Try three." Adora said with a laugh. "It was magic pollen, it was touching my nose." Catra said. There was a knocking at the door. "I got it." Rainbow Dash said flying to the door and opening it. Applejack and Scorpia entered the house. "Hey AJ, what are you doing here?" Rainbow Dash asked after she and Applejack did a hoofbump. "Well, Scorpia helped me finish my chores and apple picking, she's really good at kicking trees." said Applejack smiling up at Scorpia. Scorpia was bigger than Applejack. If anything, Applejack thought Scorpia looked like her big brother, Big Mackintosh even though Scorpia would've been bigger than him. "Yea, it felt really good, and those apples we picked are delicious." Scorpia said with a smile. "While you're here Scorpia," Catra said, "can you please tell these two that I'm not cute." "No can do, kitty." Scorpia said while Adora and Rainbow Dash were trying to hold in their laughter. "Oh please no, don't call me that." said Catra. "Ok, ok, I'll stop." said Scorpia. "You should hear what Rainbow calls me." said Applejack glancing at Rainbow Dash. Suddenly loud thunder erupted from outside. "Was that thunder?" asked Adora. "That sounded like it was coming from directly outside the house, but it doesn't storm here; and there wasn't a storm scheduled for today." Rainbow Dash said. The group of ponies ran outside Rainbow Dash's home and looked up in the sky. Dark clouds had formed above Rainbow Dash's house, striking lightning all around it. There were strong winds blowing making each pony tremble. A lightning bolt flashed and hurtled to the ground right where Applejack was standing when Scorpia pushed her out of the way so they both wouldn't get hit. "Is there anything we can do to stop this?" Adora asked Rainbow Dash. "I could try but it looks too intense for one Pegasus to handle, we would need way more." said Rainbow Dash. "Stand back, I think I can handle this." Adora said. "What're you gonna do?" Applejack asked. "I don't know yet." Adora said looking up at the clouds. Adora took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She thought about the danger her friends were in, she thought about how much they meant to her, she felt how much she loved them; and then Adora opened her eyes. "For The Honor of Grayskull!" she shouted. Suddenly, Adora's whole body began to glow. Adora then rose into the air as a white bubble surrounded her. Adora could feel her whole body changing, she felt her whole body growing and she could feel a weight appearing on her back. Adora could also feel wind blowing through her hair and felt like electricity was running through it. Adora felt herself on the clouds again and saw Scorpia, Catra, Rainbow Dash and Applejack staring at her shocked. Adora had transformed into a tall white Alicorn with a big flowing blonde mane and tail; bearing her She-Ra insignia on her flank and on her body as armor. Adora also wore her crown on her head and above that was a long horn. Adora looked to her back and saw she had grown big wings. She-Ra was now in Cloudsdale.
