Hunter opened his eyes and found himself back in the Everfree at the old castle. "This place sure brings back memories." Hunter slowly walked through the hallways. "Wow this place has sure changed in five hundred years."
"Yes it has." A familiar voice sounded from behind. "Quite a lot."
"Hello Starswirl." Hunter said as he turned to greet his grandfather. "It's nice to see you again."
"I would agree if this meeting was under better circumstances."
"Yeah no time for chit chat." Hurricane glided in through a window. "We seriously need to make a plan."
"As much as I hate to agree with Hurricane, he's right." Scalia's voice filled the hall as she walked out of the ballroom.
"Thank you for agreeing with me, Firebreath." Xeroxa taunted.
"Let me guess, if i'm going to stop Enahc I need special training?"
"Correct." Starswirl replied as he opened the door to his private study. "Each of your respective bloodlines have special talents unique to each one. Sadly we were so occupied with teaching you to rule that we neglected to teach you how to use these special talents passed down to you."
"And those are?"
"Fire control and the Treasure Sense." Scalia responded.
"Supersonic speed and Hypersonic reflexes." Hurricane boasted.
"Split Swarm and Telepathy." Xeroxa replied.
"Magic Sense and Channelling." Starswirl answered.
"Split Swarm what is that."
"The ability to split your mind and body into seperate entities but still remain control, it is a radical aproach to solving a problem." Xeroxa explained. "But with each split you gain selective senses from each of your bodies."
"So you're saying I can clone myself?"
"If you dumb it down yes." Xeroxa stated sarcasticly.
"Let's do it."
"No you have to be in the realm of the living to even try."
"Well what can we do now?"
"Treasure Sense." Scalia laghed. "In your face nectar nerd. I can still teach him my stuff in here."
"That may be but I get to leave with him, Buttburn." Xeroxa taunted.
"Oh that's it it's on."
"Um Star I think we need to get outta here fast." Hurricane laughed.
"Agreed. The last time it lasted for weeks." Starswirl chuckled.
"Well that gives us time to train." Hunter simply smiled. "I know the perfect place." Hunter led the two outside into the everfree. "If the castle is here that means my cave should be right about here." He pushed aside some brush and found an opening. "Come in to my humble abode." Hunter led them in. "Or the Mind Realm version."
"Is this where you went all those years ago." Starswirl asked.
"Yeah if you just looked you woulda found me, but the past is past and there's no time to argue."
"Hell on wings Commander Hurricane is ready to kick some ass." Hurricane shouted out of nowhere.
"What the..."
"Think fast!" Hurricane charged at a tremendous speed. Hunter looked at the pegasus, and everything seemed to slow down to a snails pace. Hunter walked over to the almost stationary pegasus. grabbed Hurricanes leg and spun. Time seemed to speed up to normal. Using the incredible momentum Hunter threw his grandfather in the opposite direction. Hurricane outstretched his wings and stopped midair. Hurricane dissapeared and reappeared behind Hunter. "That takes care of that."
"What the hell just happened?"
"Hypersonic Reflexes"
"Okay can I do it out there?"
"Yeah sure I could do it."
"Okay my turn, these skills are easy to learn. Unicorns have an inate ability to sense magic and to channel it through them. Try to channel this into something based on what you sense." Starswirl's horn began to glow white and a beam flew directly toward Hunter. He sensed somthing natural so he focused on that aspect. The magic flowed through him and out his hooves into the ground. "Well?" Grass began to grow at Hunters hooves. "Good job."
An explosion sounded in the distance. "Woah what was that?"
"Looks like you owe me twenty bits Hurricane, pony up."
"Damn dude why does yours always win."
"Just luck."
"Yeah, like I'll buy that."
"You already paid for it go ahead and take it." Starswirl chuckled.
The ground began to shake uncontrollably. "What's going on?"
"Something must be happening to your body."
"I'm goin' back, and I'm takin' Hurricane with me." Hunter closed his eyes and concentrated, when he opened them he found that the train had derailed, Hanek and Jane were under a pile of rubble unconcious.
