At the Dark Forest, Hak Xing was inside her own camp. While magically meditating and levitating in midair, she was reading couple of books as well as chanting darkly yet calmly. She was preparing, mastering and perfecting her dark magical and gravity powers. She wanted to be strong and powerful whenever she encounters and face her enemies.
The camp's entrance was opened and revealed her trusted lieutenant. She revealed herself to be a bluish colored Dark Elf with crimson eyes, spiral ram horns-like and dark shorty purple hair worn a halves of black and white colored Chinese Sorceress robe with dark purple colored Elite Guard aluminum armor. She bowed to the ground.
"Lady Hak Xing…" The Elite Guard Warrior spoke firmly and calmly.
"Ah, Mowu…" Hak Xing greeted warmly before descended to the ground. She turned and looked at Mowu. She approached to her subordinate, whom she gave her a warm and passionate kiss by lips. Departing from it, she continued, "What brings you here?"
"It is time, sister…" Mowu reported.
"I see…" Hak Xing said calmly and proudly.
Hak Xing and Mowu departed and left the camp. They're all headed off to the war council camp, where the rest of her cousins and 4 Demon Lords were gathered. They found Ripper was checking and trying to solve Pan'ku Box to open and reveal the location.
"You're late," Drago snarled.
Hak Xing growled, "Unlike you, I have good excuse such as sharpening and mastering my power should the time has come."
Drago scoffed, "Whatever. You're next."
Ripper has just solved and activated Pan'ku Box. It opened and revealed the map, pinpointing the next location of Demon Lord's portal. It revealed the name of 'Tso Lan' in the map. She clenched her fists tightly and firmly while showing firm and serious looks.
"My time has come…" Hak Xing said firmly, "It is time to free my father. Mowu?"
Mowu nodded firmly, "We're ready, milady. Awaiting your command."
"Let us got now…" Hak Xing said firmly.
Hak Xing and Mowu arrived at the Everfree Forest's entrance, hiding behind the bushes while peeking on Ponyville.
"How should we proceed, milady?" Mowu asked calmly, "Should I send the Shadow Razors and Dark Elves to terrorize them as distraction, buying you more time to search and locate it?"
Hak Xing hummed thoughtfully, "No. I have a better idea." She began her transformation through dark mist, "I will use my disguise to find it. Once I do, launch the attack this town and buy me enough time to escape with my father."
Mowu nodded, "Understood. I wish you luck, milady."
A month later since the Hearts and Hooves Day, Spike and Ember are officially dating while Rarity and Shorty are married. Things have gone smoothly and normal. And yet, surprisingly, there were no sign of Dark Mystic Ponies or even they tried to invade their homeland again. Despite that, everyone enjoyed the peaceful moment for now.
From the Castle of Friendship, Metalgear and Nyx emerged out from the lobby's entrance. He passed both school bag and lunch box to her. She headed off while waving goodbye to him. He waved back to her.
While on her way to the school, Nyx came across to a mysterious cyan-colored Unicorn filly with purple-colored long mane in ponytail worn a dark blue-white Chinese Noble Maiden's robe, who just left the water fountain.
"Oh! Hey there!" Nyx greeted warmly, "You must be new in this town?"
Chinese Unicorn nodded, "Yeah. You could say that. And you are?"
Nyx smiled, "I'm Nyx. And you?"
"Starfire," Starfire answered calmly, "Where are you heading now?"
"Ponyville Schoolhouse! Ms. Cheerilee said that she has the special announcement. I can't wait to find out," Nyx said happily, "You coming? You are new to school, right?"
Starfire nodded happily, "Yeah, I'm new to this town especially school. I enjoyed studying."
Nyx giggled, "Cool!"
Nyx and Starfire are heading straight to the Ponyville Schoolhouse, where almost everypony including her friends have just arrived and entered the school now.
"Who's this new filly?" Sweetie Belle asked curiously.
Nyx smiled, "Girls, I'd like you to meet Starfire."
Cutie Mark Crusaders warmly greeted Starfire. She smiled, "Ah, you must be Nyx's friends. She told me all about you fillies."
"Ooh! Can't wait to get to know you more." Scootaloo chatted happily.
While the classmates continued chatting and playing around for the moment, Nyx introduced Starfire to her friends, who were surprised and happy to meet and befriend her. Cheerilee arrived and entered the classroom. She stomped her hoof on her table, getting her students' attentions.
"Okay, class, settle down!" Cheerilee called calmly. The students quickly took their seats while facing and looking at her. She continued, "I've got an interesting news for you all."
Sweetie Belle gasped, "You're getting dancing job?"
"You're getting married?" Apple Bloom asked excitedly.
"You're getting fired?" Scootaloo joked teasingly.
"No. No. Not that kind of surprise," Cheerilee said dryly, making Scootaloo squeaked meekly. She cleared her throat, "But before I get to that, we have a new student here today. I'd like you all to meet Starfire."
Starfire stood up from her seat as she greeted, "Hello, everypony. I just moved here, and I hope to make new friends."
Everyone greeted warmly to Starfire. Cheerilee smiled, "For the surprise. We're going to have a field trip!"
The students gasped in surprise before cheered out wildly and happily about the latest news. Another field trip for them.
"So, what kind of fieldtrip?" Alyson asked curiously.
"I'm sure you all will like this one. The moment you all have been waiting for." Cheerilee said warmly with smile. The students looked at her curiously yet excited, wondering of what surprise is it. She cheered, "The School of Friendship!"
The students gasped happily before the loud cheers and applauds about it. They all wanted to go and visit the School of Friendship, or at least be part of it for a while. They never thought they would the chance to go to that place.
"Wow. Never thought this would happen," Nyx commented in surprise. She sighed, "Mummy never let me or my friends in because we have school here."
"What's this about?" Starfire asked curiously.
Nyx smiled, "You'll see, Starfire."
"So, Ms. Cheerilee, when is our field trip?" Sweetie Belle asked excitedly.
Cheerilee smiled, "Starting on Monday. It'll be one week to spend time and work together with the School of Friendship students. They'll show you what friendship is all about. It'll be one week before the final exam by end of the week."
"So, awesome…" Scootaloo commented happily, "I wonder what kind of partner I'm gonna have."
"Yeah. We're gonna learn more friendship from them!" Alyson said hopefully.
Cheerilee giggled a bit, "Don't worry. The Guidance Counsellor and Admission Recruiter will handle that. Just make sure you bring some necessary stationary stuffs and books for Monday because it's important to take some notes of what you need to do."
"Yes, Ms. Cheerilee," The students answered calmly and firmly.
On Monday now; Twilight, Spike and Nyx were waiting at the School of Friendship's entrance, waiting for Ms. Cheerilee and the students. Nyx was happily bouncing and hopping as she was excited for today's fieldtrip.
"Ooh! I can't wait to start!" Nyx cheered.
Spike scoffed a bit, "Someone's excited for this."
"Who could blame her?" Twilight teased playfully while patted her daughter's mane, "You and your friends were really looking forward for this, aren't ya?"
Nyx nodded, "Yup! We wanna learn more about friendship! I wonder who's gonna be my partner."
Twilight giggled playfully, "Don't you worry, Nyx. I've got a special plan for you and your friends." She then spotted Cheerilee and her group. She gasped, "There they are!"
Nyx approached to greet and chat with Cutie Mark Crusaders and even Starfire. They all chattered excitedly sand happily about the fieldtrip.
Just arrived, Cheerilee approached and met up with Twilight, "Princess Twilight! It's good to see you again!"
"Good to see you too," Twilight said happily as she shook Cheerilee's hoof, "Glad you and your students make it."
Cheerilee smiled, "Well, we did say we want to make a joint school between us."
"Close enough I would say," Twilight joked. She and Cheerilee laughed a bit. She sighed, "But still, I'm glad that School of Friendship received some good reception and able to get some visits from other schools."
"Yes, I read the newspaper. Your school did well so far." Cheerilee said calmly She gave some concerns, "However, I'm more concern with Chancellor Neighsay. He kept on sprouting more terrible insults to your school. He might do something drastic to you and your school. Are you gonna do anything about it?"
"As far as I can tell, Lord Azure has already made a serious threat to him if Chancellor Neighsay dare to sabotage my school. Trust me, Miss Cheerilee, Lord Azure is not type of Councilpony you should mess with. Chancellor Neighsay knows it."
"I see. Well then, I don't have to worry now," Cheerilee said calmly, "Shall we?"
Twilight nodded, "Yup. The event is about to start. Let's get in."
Twilight turned to the entrance, where she knocked the door hard. Signaled, the entrance doors are opened in two by Starlight and Sunset. Everyone marched into the school, where they found other school also joined in for fieldtrip such as Manehattan, Fillydelphia, Appleloosa, Sacred Light and Peace Nature Guardians. Twilight, Spike, Starlight and Sunset moved to the stage, where the teachers were gathered and stood before them.
Starlight smiled, "Everypony, welcome to the School of Friendship!"
Sunset nodded calmly, "Hope you all enjoy it!"
The students chattered and muttered happily and excitedly about School of Friendship. They all can't wait to start it.
Standing on the stage, Twilight continued speaking with her speech, "Thank you all for coming here. Now, we're moving to a special activity – the Friends' Partnership Week Program." The students cheered happily. She continued, "You all will be pairing with one of our Friendship Students for this week. And together, both partners will work together to understand and solve the Friendship Problems throughout the event and daily life. By the end of the week, all of you will be facing the tests. This requires trust and teamwork. Now I'll leave it to Lockdown to sort this out."
The students cheered out happily and excitedly as they all can't wait to start their partnership with SOF students on solving the Friendship Problem.
"Quiet, ponies. This is not rock-n-roll concert!" Lockdown said firmly and seriously. Everyone became silent. He continued, "Alright, then. As Headmare Twilight has said, I'll be sorting out on whom you'll be partnering and working with. When I call the names, come and get your star badge before you can find and meet up with your partner. Let's get started."
Twilight smiled while winked happily, "Hope you all enjoy it."
Lockdown cleared his throat, began calling out the students while pairing with SOF students before giving the different kind of colorful star badges. Most of the students looked excited and happy about the partners they're working with.
"Oh! I'm so excited for this!" Apple Bloom said happily, "If it were to me, I'd be partnering with Sandbar! I heard he's a nice and friendly guy. Or maybe, Yona! She must be a strong yak!"
"I hope it's Gallus, Smolder, Leo or maybe Aero!" Scootaloo commented excitedly, "Rainbow told me they're the best!"
Sweetie Belle smiled, "I would sure like to meet Ciel and Melody Bubbles. I was told that they're smart and cute. Not to mention, Ciel is my sister-in-law now. That makes us sisters!"
"Yeah, right." Jade disagreed, "If you ask me, I'd prefer the Dark Sacred Knights or at least, Solflare. They're the fierce fighter."
Alyson hummed thoughtfully, "I hope I can get the chance to meet smart ponies or creatures like DECK and Mano."
"Were they really great?" Starfire asked.
Nyx nodded, "Yeah. They are. Mine is Arcee, Ocellus, Silverstream or maybe Solflare. Better not be Heatwave. I heard he's a pervert and womanizer."
Starfire hissed, "I don't think I wanna know."
"Hey girls. I need to talk with you," Twilight called out while she and Cheerilee approached to Cutie Mark Crusaders. She continued, "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but… You won't be partaking this program."
Shocked and disappointed, Cutie Mark Crusaders sighed while looked down. Sweetie Belle asked, "Why not?"
"I thought we're supposed to be partnering with SOF student for solving Friendship Problem for a week," Scootaloo asked in confusion.
Twilight nodded understandingly, "Yes, but you already know all about helping ponies in need and being there for each other. So, you don't need the partners to solve the friendship problem."
"Come on, Twilight," Jade begging, "Can't you just give us a chance?"
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaase?" Cutie Mark Crusaders pleaded with pouty looks.
"And I'm kinda new here too," Starfire added in concern.
"Who's your new friend?" Twilight asked in surprise.
Nyx smiled, "Mummy, this is Starfire. She's the new filly at my school."
Starfire bowed humbly, "It's an honor to meet you, Princess Twilight. Nyx told me everything about you."
Twilight smiled, "An honor to meet you. New member to CMC?"
Nyx nodded, "Yeah. She maybe a new, but she doesn't know much about friendship."
"So, why not let us partner with SOF Student?" Alyson suggested.
"Now, girls. Stop pestering the Headmare," Cheerilee said sternly yet calmly, "she has already given her answer."
Cutie Mark Crusaders sighed in disappointment. Nyx sighed, "I thought you said you have something for us. Guess this is it."
"Now, hold on. I didn't say that," Twilight said calmly, surprising Cutie Mark Crusaders. She continued with a smile, "I really got something special work for you."
"Really? What is it?' Alyson asked hopefully.
Jade scoffed while shrugged, "Hopefully, something excited as this one."
"Don't worry, you won't regret it. Now listen carefully. This is very important," Twilight said calmly yet firmly. Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at her as they listened to her now. She gave the instruction, "Your task is very different from others. I want you to help one of our students. She's having some troubles with the Friendship Studies."
"Huh?!" Cutie Mark Crusaders looked surprise and shocked to hear it.
"Wow! Really?" Jade asked in surprise.
"You're asking us to be some kind of teachers to your SOF student?" Scootaloo asked in disbelief yet nervous.
Twilight nodded calmly. Apple Bloom gulped, "I don't know, Twilight. Aren't we a bit young for being a tutor to someone else?"
"This might be a bad idea," Starfire remarked in concern.
Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement, "They have the point. You really think we can do this?"
"Yes, you can, Sweetie Belle," Twilight answered calmly, "But as I explained before, you all have learned and knew so much about Magic of Friendship from experience and us. I have confidence that you can help her."
"Okay. I did not expect that," Alyson commented in surprise.
After hearing what Twilight has said, Nyx proudly and firmly stood and said, "Don't worry, mummy, we've got this!"
"Huh?! We do?!" Cutie Mark Crusaders asked in surprise.
Cheerilee smiled while clapped her hooves, "Now. That's the spirit, Nyx. Always be there to help those who needs it."
"I'm so glad you accept it, girls," Twilight said warmly and calmly, "If you girls can help her to catch up with her studies, then I have some special gifts for you all. You girls would be proud of it."
"Got it!" Nyx cheered proudly.
"You're serious?" Starfire asked in disbelief.
Apple Bloom whispered, "Are you sure?"
Nyx winked at her, "Hey, we're Cutie Mark Crusaders. We've got this."
Apple Bloom shrugged, "If you say so. But we're in. Right, Crusaders?"
Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded happily. Nyx smiled, "So, who's the pony that needs some help?"
Twilight levitated and passed the student file to Cutie Mark Crusaders. She spoke, "Her name is Cozy Glow. She should be at the Friendship Garden. I'm counting you girls to do it."
"Got it!" Cutie Mark Crusaders saluted.
"You really think we can do this?" Starfire asked in concern, "B-But I'm new to this!"
"Don't worry, Starfire. You got us," Alyson said calmly.
Jade nodded with scoff, "Yeah. While we're helping and teaching 'Cozy Glow', you just watch and learn what we can do."
Starfire was uncertain and worried. Nyx patted her, "Don't worry. We've got this."
Cutie Mark Crusaders headed off to Friendship Garden, where they can find and help Cozy Glow. They're now running through the hallway. Twilight and Cheerilee watched them go and help the other student. Shadow Dragon has just arrived to the scene.
"Wow, Twilight. Didn't expect you to give 'teaching job' to the kids," Shadow Dragon commented in surprise.
"Well, Cozy Glow need some serious help," Twilight explained, "I doubt the top and senior students are best for her. It might make her pressured and nervous around them because of the age. So, I thought of some group in her age could help her."
Cheerilee nodded understandingly, "I see where you're going, Twilight. And you make the right call. Cutie Mark Crusaders will help them out."
Shadow Dragon hummed in concern, "And you really think they're up for this?"
"I don't think, Shadow Dragon," Twilight answered calmly before smiled proudly, "I know they can. After all, they were personally taught by me."
Shadow Dragon chuckled, "Can't argue for that."
After running through the hallway, Cutie Mark Crusaders arrived and entered the Friendship Garden, where they found some ponies were there. Some chattered and discussed about many things. Others were studying and working on their homework and project. A few were playing some boardgame and sports.
"Wow. Would you look at that," Jade commented, "Man, this place is awesome!"
Scootaloo nodded, "Yeah, no kidding. I wanna play buckball in class. I thought if I partner with one of them, I get the chance to play it."
"Well, we're not," Starfire answered dryly, upset Scootaloo. She found Nyx looked at her. She asked, "What? I'm being honest."
"Even so, that's harsh," Nyx said firmly. She sighed, "Still, mummy does have the point. We learn so much of what friendship is all about. I guess we don't need the partner for Friends' Partnership Week Program."
Sweetie Belle awed in disappointment, "I was looking forward to have one. I wanna talk and hangout with one of them."
"At least, we're helping a student with her studies," Apple Bloom said happily, "Plus, we're inside, so we can look around and check this place out. And of course, we might able to talk and hangout with them if we have the problem."
"Oh. Nice one. I get to play buckball!" Scootaloo remarked excitedly.
"So, then we're in, right?" Alyson asked. Everyone chattered in agreement. She asked, "So, who's the student we're supposed to help?"
Looking at the student file, Apple Bloom read out loud, "Her name is Cozy Glow. And wow! She's a filly and young like us!"
"Really?!" Everyone asked in disbelief and confuse.
"No wonder Twilight chose us to do this," Sweetie Belle said in realization, "We're in the same age as her. Plus, we know about friendship."
Alyson nodded, "That make sense. She must have been scared and uncomfortable with grownups or older students. Not to mention, she's alone."
"So, what does she look like?" Starfire asked.
Before Apple Bloom could say anything, she and her friends heard someone's crying in tears. They looked around of their surroundings, searching for the source. They then found a filly sitting down under the tree's shade. She's a pinkish gray colored Pegasus filly with pale, light grayish artic blue and light artic bluish gray mane and tail in swirling and curly with pale yellow ribbons, and has three white freckles on both sides of cheek. She has a bag-pack and couple of books with her. She was crying in tears sadly.
"Don't suppose it's her?" Nyx asked curiously.
Apple Bloom looked at the student file carefully while hummed, "The description definitely matched with her. She must be Cozy Glow."
"And I'm guessing that she's having another Friendship Problem," Starfire joked.
Alyson giggled a bit, "That's a good one. But let's go. She could use some help."
Cutie Mark Crusaders approached to the filly, checking on her if she's alright. The filly was still crying sadly, didn't seem to notice of her. Starfire looked suspicious and serious about her.
Apple Bloom asked, "Hey. Are you okay?"
Heard someone's talking to her, the filly wiped her tears and looked at the company. She answered, "Thank you for asking. But no. I'm having real trouble with-!" She sniffled while looking at her books, "-the School of Friendship."
This confirmed their suspicious. Scootaloo spike, "You must be the student we were looking for. Cozy Glow, right?"
Cozy Glow looked surprise as she asked, "Huh? H-How did you know?"
Jade smiled, "Twilight told us. She sent us here to help you out."
"Really?" Cozy Glow asked in surprise yet hopeful.
Apple Bloom nodded, "Yeah. I'm Apple Bloom. This is Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Alyson Joy, Jade Adventure, Nyx and newest member – Starfire. We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders."
"It's very nice to meet you," Cozy Glow greeted warmly. She then looked at her books, "but I don't know if I'll stay long. I'll probably flunk out. I'm having so much trouble with my friendship lessons. Even though I was in Headmare Twilight's class, it's too hard."
"That can't be that hard," Alyson said in disagreement.
Cozy Glow sighed, "Well, I just moved here to go to school, but everything's so new and different. I don't know anypony."
Jade smiled confidently, "Well, you do now. Us."
"We can help with those!" Sweetie Belle said happily.
Nyx nodded, "We know all about friendship!"
"And studyin' with you would be almost as good as bein' partners with SOF Student!" Apple Bloom added confidently.
"But why would you help me? What's in it for you?" Cozy Glow asked suspiciously.
Alyson smiled warmly, "That's how friendship works. When you give from your heart, you don't expect anything back."
"Well, golly, if you really mean it…" Cozy Glow said in uncertain yet relief tone. Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded happily. She took out the pictures of three that has Bon-Bon, Mrs. Cake and Lance. She explained, "I could use some help with my homework. I have to do something nice for each of these ponies. But I don't know anything about them. And it's so hard to talk to ponies you've never met."
Apple Bloom smiled, "Well, you're in luck, 'cause we know all of those ponies!"
"Get ready for a friendship A-plus!" Scootaloo said happily.
Cozy Glow looked so happy and excited about it. Cutie Mark Crusaders and her headed off at once now. Starfire moved close to Nyx for discussion.
"Don't trust her," Starfire said seriously and firmly.
"Huh? Why? Why would you say that?" Nyx asked in confusion.
Starfire gave her serious looks, "Because she's not who she seems to be."
Scootaloo was scooting off, straight to the market street, bringing Jade and Cozy Glow along with her via using and riding her scooter. They're now hiding behind the barrel of pears. They were now spying and looking at Bon-Bon, who was looking at Roseluck's plants, wondering what
"That's Bon Bon." Scootaloo explained, "If you wanna do something nice for her, first you gotta figure out what she needs."
"Well, how am I supposed to do that?" Cozy Glow asked.
Jade smiled while looking at Bon-Bon, "Just pay attention. Friendship is about listening to others."
As three fillies continued watching and spying on the event, Bon-Bon bought the cactus from Roseluck, who packed it up in the bag. Upon receiving the package, she began walking out, but at the same time, she felt some pain from its spikes. It's quite painful to her, and yet she continued walking to home.
"Uh-oh. That cactus keeps pricking her every step she takes." Jade said in concern.
Scootaloo hummed thoughtfully, "Hmm, if only there was something to protect her from those spines."
Just as three fillies were thinking, the Cozy Glow noticed Jade's scooting helmet, giving her the idea. She quickly grabbed it before flew off to meet Bon-Bon. The Earth Pony put the bag down as she was rubbing her face off from the cactus's spikes. She flew and approached to her.
"It looks like you need help carrying your cactus," Cozy Glow said nervously with a bit of laughter while putting the helmet on the cactus, "so here's a safe way to take it home."
Bon-Bon was surprised yet happy as she thanked her, "Thank you! That's so thoughtful."
Bon-Bon picked up her bag before moving out, without feeling pain from the cactus poking her due to helmet covered it. Cozy Glow became very happy about it. She returned to Scootaloo and Jade.
"I did it!" Cozy Glow cheered.
"Good job!" Scootaloo congratulated. She continued, "But, uh, next time, maybe don't give away her helmet."
Realize of her mistakes, Cozy Glow yelped, "Oopsie."
"But what the heck?" Jade joked, "No big deal. I can buy a new one."
At the Sugarcube Corner; Sweetie Belle and Cozy Glow were sorting out the colorful sprinkles to their respective sprinkle shakers. At the entrance door, Alyson was keeping her eyes out for Mrs. Cake via using her Magical Sense of her movement. Both ponies managed to sort them out.
Sweetie Belle sighed, "Whew. Sorting all those took longer than I thought."
"You really think Mrs. Cake will like these new sprinkle shakers?" Cozy Glow asked.
"Mm-hmm. Now she won't have to use rainbow sprinkles all the time." Sweetie Belle nodded while levitating the sprinkle shakers inside the present box before tying it up, "She can just pick the color she wants!"
"If you ask me, I don't think she really mind about using rainbow sprinkles. After all, it's her favorite sprinkle," Alyson joked. Her Magical Sensor detected Mrs. Cake's movement, she spoke, "Everypony, into your position! She's coming!"
Alyson regrouped with her friends as Mrs. Cake has arrived and entered her bakery shop. Just before she does anything, she spotted three fillies on the ground.
"Ooh! I'm sorry, I was out to lunch." Mrs. Cake said in surprise, "Were you fillies waiting for me long?"
"No. Um, these are for you!" Cozy Glow said happily as she passed the present box to Mrs. Cake.
Putting the present on counter table, Mrs. Cake found the sprinkle shakers in it, "Oh, well, what a lovely surprise! I can't wait to try them out!" She started shaking them on her cream Cake. She showed it to the fillies, "Look! I made rainbow sprinkles! Aren't they wonderful?"
This shocked and surprised Sweetie Belle and Cozy Glow. Alyson smiled playfully, "Told ya."
"But… she… I…" Cozy Glow asked in disbelief.
Sweetie Belle cleared her throat, "At least she likes her present? Thoughts count, right?"
Cozy Glow sighed, "Uh-huh…"
Inside the Castle of Friendship, Lance has just cleaned his bedroom. He grumbled and muttered in frustration about cleaning the whole castle due to Metal Ponies are now in recharge mode. He then emerged out from it. And to his surprise and amazement, the whole castle was completely cleaned and sparkled.
"What the…" Lance asked in surprise while looking around of his surroundings. He then heard whistling. He turned and looked at his left – Cozy Glow, Apple Bloom, Nyx and Starfire were standing. He asked, "You guys did this?"
Nyx smiled, "We sure did."
"Wow! Thanks a lot! Owe you a lot!" Lance said happily, "But seriously, Nyx, you don't need to overdo it."
"Hey. What are siblings for," Nyx said happily, "Better get going. Don't wanna miss your date."
Lance smiled, "Fine. See ya."
Lance exited out of the Castle of Friendship's entrance, where Shiroi was waiting. Both of them laughed happily and warmly before heading off for their date.
"Golly. How'd you know that would make him so happy?" Cozy Glow asked.
Apple Bloom smiled, "Friendship means pitchin' in to help others' chores go faster. 'Specially when their special somepony's waitin' for 'em. Just like Lance and my big brother."
Nyx nodded, "Yeah. We help each other a lot. I know my brother behind my back."
"You shouldn't trust her," Starfire said firmly. Nyx looked at her. She continued, "I'm telling you. She's up to no good."
Nyx hummed in uncertain, "As far as I can tell, she hasn't done anything bad."
"I can assure you that she can't be trusted," Starfire said seriously, "She's not what she seems."
Nyx looked doubtful yet concern of what she has said. She has a hard time to believe that Cozy Glow is bad. And at the same time, Starfire gave her serious and stern looks while thinking of a way to convince her. She gave a sly smirk as she has the idea.
Mowu was hiding in the Everfree Forest, watching and observing ponies doing their daily life. She awaiting the command from Hak Xing, who is nowhere in sight with her. She hummed thoughtfully yet concern for her mistress. Suddenly, the communication portal appeared before her as it revealed Hak Xing's face.
Mowu bowed and asked, "Milady! Were you successful?"
"Not quite," Hak Xing said calmly, "There's been a change of plan now. I require some assistance from you."
Mowu nodded, "Whatever you require, I will make it happen."
"Good. Time to use our little 'friends' for our advantage."
"Understood. I will make it happen. They will be put to good use now."
Mowu chanted calmly and firmly as she summoned two clones. They then transformed into two different beings. They listened to what Hak Xing has said, making the shapeshifting clones laughed amusingly and sinisterly about it. They can't wait to start it.
After completing the tasks, both Cozy Glow and Cutie Mark Crusaders have made and deliver the report to Twilight. And on the next day, they were summoned to her office, where she's giving the result of her homework. Shadow Dragon and Spike were there as well. The fillies looked very nervous and worried about the result.
"After checking on the report," Twilight said firmly yet calmly. She smiled, "Well doe, Cozy. You got an 'A' on your homework!"
The Cutie Mark Crusaders and even Cozy Glow cheered out happily and excitedly about it. Twilight smiled proudly that the fillies were happy about it.
"Nice goin'!" Apple Bloom cheered.
Cozy Glow smiled, "And I never could have done it without your help!"
"No problem!" Sweetie Belle said happily.
"Guess that we're done with helping her, right?" Scootaloo asked with little bit of disappointment, "We just wish we could have done more."
"Actually, you can," Twilight said calmly, surprising the Cutie Mark Crusaders. She continued, "Remember, the Friends' Partnership Week Program still continues until the big test at the end of the week. And since I made you girls to be her tutors, you can still continue teaching her with the studies."
"Wow! Really?" Jade asked excitedly.
"You really want us to continue?" Alyson asked in surprise.
"Yup. Can I count on you?" Twilight asked calmly.
Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at each other before nodded proudly and firmly. Nyx answered, "You can count on us, mummy."
Apple Bloom smiled while looking at Cozy Glow, "Yeah. Helpin' you has been even more fun! You can count on us!"
Cozy Glow smiled warmly, "Thank you so much, everypony. I'll go get my books and pencil case ready. I want to be prepared for this week's exam."
Scootaloo nodded, "Okay. We'll meet you at the clubhouse."
Just as Cutie Mark Crusaders and Cozy Glow exited out of the office, they both split up and headed off to their own direction. The fillies are going to their clubhouse for preparation while Cozy Glow's returned to her dorm to get some books. Just as Nyx was about to leave, Starfire held her back.
"Nyx, can I talk with you in privacy? It's important," Starfire insisted calmly.
Nyx looked confuse yet concern of what Starfire's suggestion. She turned and looked at her friends, "Girls, you go on ahead. I need to get something. For Cozy Glow's studies."
Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded understandingly before headed off now. Starfire then guide and lead Nyx away from them. They're heading straight to Cozy Glow's dorm.
"Wait. Why are we going to Cozy Glow's dorm?" Nyx asked in confusion.
Starfire explained, "To find out what that brat's up to."
"Oh, for the love-! Starfire!" Nyx said firmly with groan as she halted her movement, making her new friend to stop. She continued, "I thought I told you already. Cozy Glow doesn't seem to be bad! Why are you so persistent to prove that she is?"
"Because I can sense her aura. She's a threat and cannot be trusted."
"Yeesh. Don't you think you're overreacting?"
"I'm not. I know she's up to no good." Starfire said firmly and seriously, "If you just follow me, then I can show you that she's not who she seems to be."
Nyx was irritated and annoyed before sighed, "Fine. I'll go."
"Thank you," Starfire said happily.
Nyx shook her head in annoyance, "I don't know why you're so obsess with proving that Cozy Glow's bad."
Starfire smiled, "You'll see. And you won't regret it."
Nyx sighed in annoyance, "Somehow, I'm gonna be."
Nyx and Starfire quickly headed off to the east wing, where Cozy Glow's dorm was located at. By the time they arrived, they're now at the corridor of dorms. While searching and eavesdropping on each door to find her, all they heard is the SOF students chatting and talking with her classmates or other schools' students over the Friendship Problem.
They then come across to the last corner room, where they heard two voices – one belongs to Cozy Glow while another was different and unfamiliar yet angry.
"You fool!" The angry voice scolded Cozy Glow. She continued, "You were supposed to fail your homework, not pass! So, why did you get an 'A'?"
Cozy Glow hissed, "Golly! I didn't mean to! But I can't keep this up much longer!"
"Why not?! Chancellor Neighsay didn't send you here to learn and study friendship! He sent you here to fail her school!" The angry voice snapped, shocked Nyx and Starfire. She continued, "So, the world will know that Twilight Sparkle's School of Friendship is nothing but short-sighted, naivety and foolish idealistic due to allowing the creatures to live and study here."
Cozy Glow sighed, "Even so, if I keep up with this, I'll get flunked much earlier before the end of the year. So, I have to pass the exams."
"You useless-!"
"Now, now, I'm not done yet! If I can keep pass the tests and did some favors for teachers, I not only become their favorite student, but I also can become the Friendship Assistant. That allows me access to her school facilities and even the classified information! We can use it against her!"
"Is that so?"
"I know so! It will work! I promised!"
The angry voice sighed in annoyance, "Very well, I shall make a report to Chancellor Neighsay. You'd better make sure you kept your word, Cozy Glow."
"I assure you that I will," Cozy Glow said calmly, "But first, I need to pass the test."
Nyx was shocked and disbelief of what she heard, "I-I don't believe it. How could she…?"
Starfire nodded firmly, "I told you so…"
"We have to tell others now," Nyx said firmly.
Nyx and Starfire quickly left the dorm at once, returning to the clubhouse to warn their friends about it. As soon as they left, the dorm's door opened and revealed Mowu and Cozy Glow. They both smirked sinisterly.
"Good. Everything goes according to your plan, Lady Hak Xing," Mowu commented proudly. She turned and looked at Pegasus Filly. She snapped her fingers, "You have served your purpose well, my illusion clone."
Cozy Glow puffed into smokes. What was that about? Why did Mowu elaborate such conspired conversation? What are Hak Xing and her lieutenant planning for?
Nyx and Starfire were on their way back to Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse. Just as they entered it, they were surprised to see Cozy Glow here earlier. They thought that she was still talking with Chancellor Neighsay's Aide.
"Cozy Glow?! When did you get here?" Nyx asked in surprise, "I thought you were getting some books and pencil case ready."
"I did. I already left like fifteen minutes ago," Cozy Glow answered in confusion tone, "Why did you ask?"
"Well, we thought you were inside the dorm when Starfire and I were getting something from the east wing. We heard you talking about 'getting ready to pass the exam'."
"That was odd."
"Yeah, odd…" Nyx said suspiciously yet concerned.
"Well, it's kinda true, Nyx," Jade said calmly. Nyx looked at her. She continued, "By the time we got out of the School of Friendship, Cozy Glow managed to catch up to us. Boy, she's fast."
Scootaloo nodded while patted Cozy Glow's back, "Gotta say – she's really dedicated to her studies."
Sweetie Belle nodded, "Yeah. So, we made the way back here, waiting for you."
"Either way, should we get started?" Alyson asked, "We only got four days before the test starts."
"Aly's right. Time's wasting! Cutie Mark Crusaders, let's start teaching!" Apple Bloom said happily. Her friends cheered out loud and happily. She noticed Nyx's looks, "Hey, Nyx, are you okay?"
"Uh, yeah. I'm just surprise that she got here so quickly," Nyx said uneasy yet worried, "Still, who was inside Cozy Glow's dorm if she already left so early."
"I'm pretty sure you're a bit tired after some crazy cleaning on Castle of Friendship," Jade joked.
Apple Bloom nodded in agreement, "She does have the point. We were a bit of exhausted when cleaning the big castle after the Metal Ponies just entered recharge mode."
Nyx hummed in uncertain, "I guess so. Anyway, let's get back to topic."
"Right. Let the teaching begin!" Apple Bloom cheered happily, making her friends cheered as well.
And so, Cutie Mark Crusaders helped teaching and preparing Cozy Glow for her upcoming exam by going through some activities and understanding the Friendship Values.
The first activity was about 'Generosity'. Cutie Mark Crusaders were having lunch except Cozy Glow, who lost hers due to Angel eaten everything. Sweetie Belle showed her generosity by providing her carrot and apple to her to eat it. The second activity involved of 'Laughter' during she and her friends were painting the barn's walls. Cozy Glow accidentally knocked the ladder, which Scootaloo and bucket of red paint fell on her friends. Instead of arguing, they all laughed amusingly and happily. On third activity, Cutie Mark Crusaders were cleaning Fluttershy's cottage. Apple Bloom taught Cozy Glow about 'Honesty' when the latter tried to hide the spilled seed underneath the carpet, avoiding getting into trouble. The fourth activity involved of helping and assisting Pipsqueak get his kite down from the tree. Alyson taught her about 'Kindness'. Fifth activity involved of Jade showing her brave and determination by standing beside Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon when they were bullied by bigger pony. She showed her about 'Loyalty'. Finally, Nyx taught Cozy Glow about the Magic of Friendship by staying and spending time together with her friends till the end, despite her reluctance and suspicious.
After four days have passed, Cutie Mark Crusaders and Cozy Glow gathered at the clubhouse, where they're making final preparation. Showing the Elements of Harmony slideshow on the chalkboard, she answered the question with determination and pride correctly. Seeing her managed to complete her activities and passed the quiz tests, they all cheered out wildly and happily for her success.
Nyx and Starfire became uneasy and worried due to Cozy Glow's behavior and tone when she answered the quiz about Elements of Harmony like she was obsessed and wanted them for herself. Nevertheless, they kept quiet, out of respect and care for their friends.
Nyx and Starfire returned to School of Friendship, on their way to report to Twilight about the teachings on Cozy Glow. They also come across to some students, who were in the rush, asked them to deliver their books and files to her as well. They're now on their way to her office.
"You noticed something," Starfire asked.
Nyx nodded, "Yeah. You were right. Something's off about her."
Starfire nodded in agreement, "Yeah. Keep your eyes on her. I have the feeling she's up to no good again."
"I hope not," Nyx said firmly, "I still don't get it on how she met up with my friends when we just arrived and eavesdropped on two ponies' conversation from her dorm at the same time. She's not a unicorn."
Starfire shrugged, "You'll never know."
Nyx and Starfire arrived at the office, where they knocked the door. The Headmare called them to come in. And they did.
"Oh, hey, Nyx and Starfire. Nice of you all dropping by," Twilight said warmly and happily. Nyx and Starfire approached while putting the books and files on her table. She asked, "So, how's the teaching? Did she improve?"
"Yeah, she did. She learned and studied very hard for the test," Nyx answered calmly.
"Splendid. I can't wait to see how good she did with the exams. Thanks to you and your friends. I knew you guys are the right ponies for the job."
"Mummy, can I ask you something?"
"Sure. What is it?"
"It's about Cozy Glow. Where did she comes from? Why did she come here for? Does her parents know about it?'
"Hmm… I didn't expect you to ask that kind of questions," Twilight said in surprise before cleared her throat while passing Cozy Glow's student file and letter to her daughter to read. She continued, "About Cozy Glow, Nyx. She came from Las Pegasus. And according to her parents' letter, Cozy Glow is having a hard time at her place and didn't do well with her studies. So, they sent her here instead because they believed my School of Friendship will help and improve her to be better."
"Wow Really?" Nyx asked. Twilight nodded. She then realized something, "Cozy Glow came here by herself? Her parents didn't come?"
"Yes, Nyx. I was shocked and surprised as well." Twilight admitted while looking at Cozy Glow's letter, "But once I read the letter, I found out that they're very rich and prestigious family for handling enterprise, scientific research and philanthropy company as well. Guess they were too busy with their works than spending time."
Nyx hummed, "I see. That explains of her behavior when she answered 'control' and 'intelligence'. She wants to be powerful as her parents."
Twilight nodded in agreement, "Yeah. It's the reason why she failed her homework and exams. She misunderstood the concept."
"Well, it's good thing that we're here to help her out," Nyx said humbly, "Thanks for telling me this."
Twilight smiled, "No problem. Happy to help."
Nyx and Starfire nodded calmly. Just as they turned, they were almost about to leave.
"Nyx, before you go, I want to tell you something," Twilight called out. Nyx and Starfire looked at her. She continued, "I know you and your friends were upset that you all didn't take part in this Program. But I'm glad that you were willing to help the ponies out. And I promised you that tomorrow, I'm gonna give you all the special gifts."
"Wow. Really?" Nyx asked in surprise. Twilight nodded. She smiled, "Thanks, mummy. I'll make you proud."
Twilight smiled, "You already did. But promise me that you tell no one about this. Cozy Glow's very sensitive about it."
"I see. Guess she doesn't like anyone come and befriend her for the bits. She would feel cheated that she's a bank manager."
"Yup. That's about it."
"Got it, Mummy."
"Good girl. Now, run along. Get some break, sweetie."
Nyx nodded happily as she and Starfire has just left the office. Now they're walking way to the School of Friendship's lobby now.
"You're not seriously buying this, aren't you?" Starfire asked in disbelief.
Nyx sighed, "Well, after hearing my mummy's explanation about Cozy Glow, I should give her the benefit of doubt. She doesn't seem bad. And she's learning and understanding about the friendship now."
Starfire shook her head, "Oh, Nyx. You're gonna regret this. She will turn against you. We know her true colors very well."
Nyx looked worry and scared about Starfire's warning, "I hope not…"
Nyx and Starfire exited out of School of Friendship's entrance. And at the same time, Cozy Glow came from the East Wing dorm, heading straight to Twilight's office. She then come across with another pony, making her confused and worried.
"Uh… Can I help you?" Cozy Glow asked.
Mysterious pony gave angry looks, "Yeah. You can. I need you to do something for me…"
During the nighttime, Mowu was waiting at the Dark Forest, where Hak Xing appeared before her. They both hugged each other warmly.
"Were you successful?" Hak Xing asked.
Mowu nodded, "Everything has been set in motion, just as you planned, milady."
"Good. Come. Let us continue our search now while we still can."
"Milady, we have searched in the town for a week. And yet, we found nothing."
"True enough. But there is one place we have yet to locate – the School of Friendship."
Hak Xing and Mowu used their teleportation spell to enter the School of Friendship, which is now closed. In their invisibility form, they were walking down the School of Friendship hallway and corridors, searching and locating for the Demon Portal via magically levitating the Pan'ku Box. Thanks to their spell of invisibility, they won't get detected and found by the ponies especially Mane Six and Dragon Strike Force. Despite that, they have to avoid from getting caught by them or their allies.
They now arrived at the library, which the Pan'Ku Box glowed brightly. While slowly moving the device, it pointed at the far end of library. When they arrived at their destination, they found a floor grate, which Pan'Ku Box glowed brightly.
"We found it!" Mowu exclaimed in surprise, "Let us free your father now."
"No. Not yet…" Hak Xing said calmly, surprising Mowu. She smirked, "I should bring my sister here for our family reunion. Father would be pleased to see her again. After all, you've already set in motion, didn't you?"
Mowu nodded, "Yes, I did. They will turn on each other by Monday for the betrayal. She will be left alone, sad and pain by the betrayal."
Hak Xing smiled in pleasing, "Perfect…"
By the end of the week, the final day of Friends' Partnership Week Program has come. It involved of SOF students and other school students to perform their teamwork capabilities, solving puzzles and riddles, and also doing the exam papers. The activities and exams are based on their partnership and bonding experience and learning during one week program. Though difficult, complex and challenging the tasks are; the SOF students and their partners from five schools worked together to handle them well. This takes for one whole day to complete it.
On Monday, Cutie Mark Crusaders including Nyx and Starfire were sitting outside of School of Friendship, waiting for Cozy Glow to come and meet with. They hoped that she can pass her test. The school bell rang as the SOF students and their partners from other schools emerged out while chatting with each other happily and warmly. Cozy Glow was the last one to come out. Cutie Mark Crusaders approached and asked her.
Cutie Mark Crusaders asked happily, "[Apple Bloom] How'd the test go? [Sweetie Belle] Were there essay questions? [Scootaloo] Did you remember what we taught you? [Jade] Did you do any kind of activities we do? [Alyson] Yeah. Hopefully, it doesn't give you a headache. And normally, I don't because I'm blind."
Instead of happy and proud face, Cozy Glow started to cry in tears before shouted out, "I… failed!"
Cozy Glow cried in tears while running away from the School of Friendship. Everyone was in shock and disbelief of what they just saw.
"But how could Cozy Glow fail her friendship test?" Apple Bloom asked in disbelief.
Jade nodded, "Yeah. We helped her with homework. And she scored 'A', but she failed."
"Ahem." Twilight cleared her throat. Cutie Mark Crusaders turned and looked behind as they found her angrily stood before them. She said firmly, "I'd like to see you all in my office!"
Cutie Mark Crusaders looked scared and worried. When Twilight's angry means she's not happy with the results that Cozy Glow has put.
Inside the office, Cutie Mark Crusaders scared and worriedly stood before Twilight, who was busy looking at the test papers.
"I've got a bad feeling about this," Alyson said in fear, "Even though I'm blind, I can sense how angry she is with us now."
Putting down the test paper, Twilight demanded firmly, "I can't believe you'd do something like this!"
Apple Bloom gulped, "Like what?"
Jade shrugged fearfully, "Yeah. We didn't do anything wrong."
"We just helped teaching Cozy Glow, just like you said," Scootaloo said in fear.
Sweetie Belle nodded in fear, "But we taught her all the right things!"
"I know you all didn't do anything wrong," Twilight said firmly. She sternly turned and glared at Nyx, "I was talking about Nyx!"
"WHAT?!" Cutie Mark Crusaders asked in disbelief.
"W-What do you mean?!" Nyx asked in shock and disbelief, "I don't understand."
"You've set her up to fail. That's what," Twilight said sternly and angrily, shocking her and her friends. She continued, "Nyx, what is going on?! Why would you do this to her?!"
Nyx shook her head in disbelief, "I didn't! Really! I didn't do anything to her!"
"I… I don't understand. Why would you think she did that to Cozy Glow, Twilight?" Apple Bloom asked in concern.
Jade nodded in agreement, "Yeah. There's no way Nyx could have done that without a reason."
Twilight sighed in upset, "I know but I couldn't believe it either. Cozy Glow told me that Nyx threatened her to fail this exam." Everyone and even Nyx was shocked to hear it. She continued with dry and stern looks, "Last Friday, she told me if she dared to pass my exams, you will expose the truth about her to the world."
"No way!" Jade exclaimed in disbelief, "That's gotta be a joke!"
Apple Bloom asked in concern yet suspicious, "Truth about what?"
"What's going on?!" Alyson demaned.
"I really didn't do it! Honest!" Nyx insisted in concern.
Starfire nodded, "Yeah. I was with her. I didn't see her talking with Cozy Glow."
"The exams don't lie, Nyx!" Twilight exclaimed in fury while showing the exams to Nyx and her friends. She continued, "How do you explain about these friendship test answers? All of them are wrong and jokes! All because of you!"
"No way…" Scootaloo said in disbelief.
Nyx stuttered in shock and disbelief, "B-B-But I didn't do it! You have to believe me!"
Cutie Mark Crusaders looked uncertain and worried as they're not sure if they should believe in her or not because the evidence is pointing at her.
Ignored her daughter's pleading, Twilight sighed in disappointment, "I wish I could. But the evidence is here. I never thought you would pull such a mean prank. I'm very disappointed in you, Nyx."
"How could you say that?! I really didn't do it!" Nyx insisted angrily and upset, "I really kept the secret to myself! I never threatened her!"
Twilight firmly snapped, "I don't want to hear this again, Nyx! You're grounded for a year until you really take this responsible of your action, young lady! You're not allowed to hang out with your friends anymore! You're not allowed to play games or watch the shows either. You're not allow to have games and toys as well! Above else, you're not allow to come to this school again! My decision is final!"
Nyx was hurt and upset of what Twilight has said. Cutie Mark Crusaders couldn't believe it either. How could she talk to her like that?!
Nyx cried angrily, "Why won't you believe me?! Mothers supposed to believe in their own daughters! And you didn't!"
Nyx turned and ran straight out of the office's door while crying in tears. Twilight was shocked and hurt to hear what she has said. Cutie Mark Crusaders were worried and concerned for her.
"Some friends you turned out to be," Starfire commented dryly at Cutie Mark Crusaders, "Never stood up for her when she really didn't do it."
Starfire headed off at once, following after Nyx now. Cutie Mark Crusaders couldn't help but feel ashamed of their actions because they did nothing but watch. Twilight felt very bad and upset for threatening her own daughter, despite the evidence has pointed at her.
"I can't believe you talked to her like that," Apple Bloom said in disbelief.
Scootaloo sighed in shame, "I couldn't believe we didn't stand up for her. We stood there and do nothing like idiots."
"How could we?" Sweetie Belle asked, "We don't even know what truth that Twilight and Nyx were talking about."
"I supposed it's true," Jade said in agreement, "But I don't believe Nyx would do this. I mean she never prank on someone else in her life. That's for sure."
Alyson nodded, "Yeah. She's too nice for this. Sure, got tempered when she gets annoyed and hurt to see her friends and family get hurt. But no way she could do this."
"No, she wouldn't," Apple Bloom said in disagreement. She looked at Twilight, "Twilight, I'm sorry but, there is no way she would do such thing! And you know it too!"
Sweetie Belle nodded in tears, "Yeah! I didn't want to say it but I'm scared because you would be mad for helping her with this when we don't know anything."
"Yeah. But we're gonna talk and make up with her," Scootaloo said firmly, "If you had to ban us from coming here, that's fine for us. Nohing is worth than losing your own friends."
Cutie Mark Crusaders turned and exited out of the office without looking back or even talked with Twilight more. This made her gave some thoughts of what she did. Could she have made the mistake?
Shadow Dragon, Spike and Lance entered the office. They looked serious and angry as they wanted to talk with her.
"Twilight, we need to talk now." Shadow Dragon said firmly.
Twilight held her hoof, "Before you demand the questions of what happened just now, then yes, it did happen."
Shadow Dragon slammed on the table, "Twilight, what the hell were thinking?! Accusing and grounding her because of her 'prank' made Cozy Glow failed her exams?! T-That's the dumbest thing I ever heard of! You know she never prank on anyone else in her life! And you accuse her like that?!"
Twilight kept silent. Spike groaned, "I don't believe it. Is this school all you care about?!"
Lance shook his head as he sternly answered, "If this is it, then you're no different from Chancellor Neighsay!"
"Don't you dare compare me to him! Not after what he tried to do to me!" Twilight snapped angrily, confusing them. She sighed, "When Cozy Glow came here, she's been struggling with her studies and exams. When Chancellor Neighsay heard about this, he took the opportunity to slander my school due to my incompetence and other creatures' frightening her. My students were trying to help her but she kept herself away from them."
"And that's why you ask the Crusaders to help," Shadow Dragon asked firmly. Twilight nodded. He sighed, "Should have known. That chancellor really asking for troubles, doesn't he? Political nonsense…"
"Well, what can you do?" Spike shrugged, "Twilight, you should have asked us or Mr. Tao to help us to take care of him."
Twilight sighed, "I did. But I don't want to be so inconvenience to them for dealing with the chancellor. They have other matters to deal with."
"Even so, that's no excuse of you doing to Nyx," Lance said firmly, "You should know that. I don't believe Cozy Glow's bullshit. S'cuse of my language."
Spike nodded, "Yeah. Nyx is nowhere near to Cozy Glow from last Friday. She was with her friends."
Twilight hummed in concern, "That doesn't make sense. Some of my students saw her talking with Cozy Glow. I don't think she would use her Cloning Technique to just talk with her. She wouldn't do that."
"No, she wouldn't…" Shadow Dragon said suspiciously. He then realized suspiciously, "Twilight, this Starfire, did Nyx ever tell us where she came from? Or who's her parents are?"
"No. Why?" Twilight asked in concern,
Shadow Dragon hummed in concern, "Not sure. But Nyx wasn't the only pony know about Cozy Glow's background, right?"
Twilight looked concern and worried, "You don't mean Starfire set this up?! Why?! What's she trying to accomplish for?!"
"Good question," Shadow Dragon said in agreement, "Luckily, I already have sent someone to keep an eye on her now. I've got bad feeling about this…"
Nyx was running through the hallway while ignoring some SOF students, who were just passing her by. She then come across to Cozy Glow, who looked scared and worried, hiding behind the Starswirl the Bearded Statue.
"You!" Nyx snapped angrily.
Cozy Glow yelped while hiding behind the statue, "Don't hurt me! I did what you asked! Just leave me alone!"
Nyx scowled, "How dare you framed me?! After what my friends and I have done for you!"
"Maybe if you hadn't threatened me, then none of this wouldn't happened." Cozy Glow snapped back at her. Nyx growled angrily. She yelped, "Look! I'm sorry what I've done! I can talk with Twilight about this."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah! Can't we just be friends? I promised that I'll be a good girl and help you girls out with other cutie mark problems. I won't cause the problem!"
Nyx growled, "You and I will only be friends the day you stop lying, Cozy Glow!"
Cozy Glow sighed, "Golly. I'm not the liar. You are."
Nyx narrowed her angry eyes, "Whatever liar. Consider yourself lucky that I'm in no mood to deal with you."
Nyx walked away from the lobby as she exited out of School of Friendship. She approached to the large lake, where she's taken the seat on it.
"I thought Diamond Tiara was evil before me and my friends changed her, but Cozy Glow really takes the whole cake! She's like a Changeling who doesn't even need a disguise!" Nyx muttered angrily before hissed angrily, "All the crusading. All those friendship lessons? And for what?! To get ignored?! And it's all because of that liar!"
Starfire arrived and approached to Nyx. She sat closed to her friend now.
"I know how you feel," Starfire said in comfort, "You deserve better."
"Damn it…"
"Just forget about this. In fact, I think I can help you out."
"What do you mean?"
"To get away from this mess. Just follow my lead. You will like it."
Nyx was confused and uncertain of what Starfire was talking about. Whatever the case, she needed to get away from her family and friends for accusing her about threatening Cozy Glow, which she has nothing to do with.
Nyx followed Starfire, who was leading her to the back of School of Friendship. They then headed off to the library, where they come across to the floor grate at the end of corner. They climbed down to the cavern underground, which was covered by the chunks of crystallized shards.
"What is this place?" Nyx asked in shock, "I'd never seen it before. It's kinda beautiful."
Starfire smiled, "Yeah. I just found out from last week. I thought this would cheer you up."
Nyx sighed, "Yeah. I do need this. Where to now?"
"The fun part," Starfire commented, "You'll love this one the most."
Starfire led Nyx all the way to the large crystallized hall-like, which is completely empty but the ceiling, which has strange crystallized roots-like pillars to the ground while the middle of the room has the symbol of Hikari the Mystic Guardian of Light.
"What is this place?" Nyx asked in surprise yet curious. Starfire smirked darkly as she chanted darkly and sinisterly. Dark Magic Chains-like appeared to get a hold on her to the ground. She grunted, "Hey! What's the big idea?!"
Starfire smirked, "Just as I promised, Xiao Yue…"
Her calling that name shocked and surprised Nyx. Starfire's body began transforming into a familiar enemy that she never wanted to come across.
"H-Hak Xing?!" Nyx asked in disbelief.
Hak Xing smirked, "Indeed, I am, sister. My Spell Binding has trapped you at the specific area. Everything has gone according to my plan."
"Your plan?! What's that supposed to be mean?!"
"You'll see. Mowu, did you bring it here?"
"I did," Mowu said calmly as she emerged out from the entrance hole. She smiled darkly while levitating the Pan'ku Box. She smiled, "The time is now for Family Reunion, milady."
"Yes…" Hak Xing agreed calmly and proudly. She turned and glared at Nyx, "All thanks to you, Nyx."
"W-What?!" Nyx asked in disbelief and shock.
Hak Xing smirked, "Yes. You helped me with my plan well, sister. You see. I originally wanted to locate my father's portal, to be honest. When I come across you and the plans for fieldtrip to School of Friendship, I adapted and made some changes to my plan. As such, isolated you from your family."
After hearing what Hak Xing has said, Nyx spoke in realization, "Cozy Glow. You used her against me. You manipulate me to be suspicious and weary of her! You even framed her that she was working for Chancellor Neighsay! You even got the secrets from Twilight! And the worst is you used me to threaten her to fail the exam and turn everyone against me! Because I know about the truth of Cozy Glow."
Mowu laughed amusingly, "Actually, that would be my work, little brat."
"Indeed…" Hak Xing said calmly and amusingly, "You did exactly what I've planned."
"Damn you! You lied to me! You used me!"
"Correction. Manipulation and deception are different. I manipulate and devise strategy and events to turn to my favor. I don't deceive my opponent."
"What's that supposed to be mean?! Damn it!"
"I wasn't lying about Cozy Glow. She's not she seems to be. In fact, she doesn't exist in this world, in this first place."
"I am not gonna fall for the same trick, bitch!" Nyx snapped angrily.
Hak Xing scoffed, "Do as you will. All I can say is that she is one of the three in this school."
Her claim shocked and surprised Nyx as she recalled what Thanatos told her about three troublemakers at the school. Could both of them telling the truth?!
"Well then. Father has waited enough for this. Time to bring him home," Hak Xing said calmly, "Mowu!"
Mowu nodded firmly, "Yes, milady!"
Mowu held the Pan'ku Box out. It then activated and opened the portal in middle of the chamber, where Tso Lan emerged out from it. Hak Xing and Mowu bowed before him while Nyx quivered in fear to look at him.
"Hello, father…" Hak Xing greeted.
"Hak Xing, so good to see you, my dear child," Tso Lan said calmly. He turned and looked at Nyx, "Xiao Yue, it's been a while."
Nyx gulped in fear, "Oh no…"
"Indeed. You shall pay for what you have done!" Tso Lan said angrily and darkly with narrowing eyes. His hands glowed magically and darkly, he continued, "First, I will take back that gift! To think that I thought you would accept your heritage! What a fool of me! Hak Xing is the perfect heir I need to continue my legacy!"
Just before Nyx could do anything, Tso Land's hands blasted on her, making scream and squirm in pain. And at the same time, her Teenage Mode flow back to him at once, draining her out of the energy. Hak Xing and Mowu enjoyed watching her to suffer. She dropped to the ground.
"Well done, father," Hak Xing commented with smile.
"Where are we, daughter? What is this place? I smell this place has…" Tso Lan demanded before he growled in disgust, "Good and pure Light Magic. How much I loathed it."
Hak Xing sighed while bowed down, "Forgive me, father. We're underneath Princess Twilight's School of Friendship. This is where your portal was located."
"I see. I shouldn't have known. Disgusted to be in the Realm of Light," Tso Lan said dryly. While looking at Nyx, he hummed thoughtfully, "How intriguing."
"Father?" Hak Xing asked in confusion.
"Since she has rejected my heritage and turned on her kind, Xiao Yue should be punished. What punishment would be fitful for her than to watch her 'family' suffered for her betrayal."
"I see. I know what you mean, father. And you would be pleased with this. I turned her family against her."
"Interesting. Now the family is still heartbroken and wounded by the betrayal. No doubt it's the perfect chance to take revenge." Tso Lan commented proudly and calmly. He turned and glared at Nyx, "Time for you to suffer the pain you have put through on your family, child!"
Before Tso Land could do anything, he and his family got shot and blasted by Hikari Shots. And at the same time, the Spell Binding that trapped and held her down got cut off and dispelled. She was confused and shocked by it. The invisibility spell disappeared and revealed Shiroi and Arcee.
"Shiroi! Arcee!" Nyx exclaimed in surprise yet relief.
"You okay?" Shiroi asked in concern, "You're not hurt, aren't you?"
"No. Just my pride. And I lose my ability to access my Battle Mode now," Nyx grunted in pain and frustration. She sighed, "You two have been following me?"
"Well, your dad was worried about you after what happened," Shiroi answered calmly, "And since you're already angry and upset, we just go invisibility while watch over you."
Arcee glared at Tso Lan and his family. She remarked, "To be honest, we didn't expect your friend to be a bad girl for using you to get her dad out. Good thing we keep on track with you."
"More insects? How interesting yet annoying…" Tso Lan remarked dryly yet annoyingly. He floated in midair, "Tell me now. Did you really think you have the chance against me?!"
Shiroi Bai transformed into Kasai Songbird as she loaded up and armed with her Twin Pistols. Arcee armed with her Katana and Wakizashi. Nyx wanted to fight but got levitated and moved aside.
"Hey!" Nyx exclaimed in annoyance.
"Sorry, Nyx. For your safety!" Kasai said firmly, "You can't use your Battle Form again."
Arcee nodded, "Yeah. Plus, Tso Lan and his family are seriously pissed after what we did. We can hope that we get more helps soon! Now, stay put!"
Nyx groaned in annoyance before moved and hid behind the walls. Tso Lan, Hak Xing and Mowu stood before Kasai and Arcee, who were armed and readied to fight.
"Behold… My master of gravity! And my powerful warriors!" Tso Lan declared firmly and darkly, "ARISE!"
As commanded, the army of Shadow Razors and Dark Demon Warriors emerged out from the shadows. Tso Lan and Hak Xing glowed darkly and magically as they activated their Gravity Powers. Mowu chanted darkly as she summoned her Sorceress's Staff Spear, readied to fight. Their minions charged and attacked Kasai and Arcee.
Kasai accurately fired and shoot down the charging enemies. And at the same time, Arcee bravely and firmly blocked and deflected the attacks while fighting back and defeating them. She also defended and kept her friend safe from danger. And at the same time, they watched each other's back while shooting and repelling the enemies off. Tso Lan and his family remained still while watching the battlefield. Fighting the minions has tired and exhausted both Arcee and Kasai as more of them continued pouring and attacking them. Just as they were distracted of fighting the enemies off, Tso Lan and Hak Xing unleashed the Darkness Beam on them both. Mowu magically levitated and pinned them including Nyx.
"It appears your so-called reinforcement has been dealt with," Tso Lan remarked mockingly, "You're alone now…"
Hak Xing smirked, "Time to finish this, right, father?"
Tso Lan nodded in agreement, "Indeed…"
Armed with his Blackish Blade, Tso Lan approached towards Nyx and her friends as he prepared to finish them off for good. To his shock and surprise, a powerful magical blasted on him. More Chaos Hyper Blast struck and knocked both Hak Xing and Mowu off as well. Nyx, Arcee and Shiroi dropped to the ground. This surprised and confused Nyx and her friends.
Twilight, Shadow Dragon, Lance, Spike and Cutie Mark Crusaders arrived at the scene. Nyx was surprised while looking at them. Cutie Mark Crusaders jumped and hugged her happily and warmly.
"Mummy? Daddy? Guys?" Nyx asked in surprise.
Twilight nodded, "Yeah. We're here. Are you alright?"
"Yeah. I guess," Nyx answered in uncertainty.
"Thank goodness. I know you're still upset and angry with me, but we'll talk later," Twilight said calmly and firmly. She turned and glared at Tso Lan, "Right now. Mummy got a word with Demon Lord of Moon."
Shadow Dragon nodded, "Trust us, Nyx. We're very pissed when someone used our kid for their evil plot."
"Ah… Twilight Sparkle… And Shadow Dragon… An honor to meet you," Tso Lan commented calmly and amusingly, "So I can personally destroy you both for ruining my daughter!"
"Well, we would like to have a word with you too!" Twilight said firmly.
Shadow Dragon nodded, "Yeah. With pain!"
Twilight and Shadow Dragon charged and attacked Tso Lan, who summoned his Blackish Blades to fight back against them. Hak Xing and Mowu were about to assist the Demon Lord of Moon but blocked by Lance, Spike, Kasai, Arcee and Cutie Mark Crusaders. The teenagers were annoyed as they quickly moved and pushed the children aside, making them annoyed. They resumed their fight against them. Lance and Kasai battled Hak Xing while Arcee and Spike attacked Mowu. And at the same time, the heroes also fought and battled against the minions as well.
Armed with her Sorceress's Staff Spear, Mowu rotated and spun it around her while charging and attacking Arcee and Spike, who slowly retreated and avoided the spinning attacks. And at the same time, they also have to face off and defeat some of her minions. Seeing them distracted, she summoned and fired Dark Fire, which they barely dodged and evaded the attacks. She thrust her Ice Spear Strike, which the Mystic Hippogriff deflect the attacks before jumped and swung her kick at her off. The dragon jumped and slammed a punch on her face. He then tried to punched on her. Arcee joined in as well. Hak Xing's Lieutenant firmly and calmly dodge and evade the attacks for couple of times. She then summoned and unleashed her Storm Blast to blow them off. She jumped and attacked them at once. They all dodged and evaded the attacks for couple of times. Mowu again summoned and fired her Storm Blast to blow them off before activating and firing her Dark Fire to blow them off. Luckily, Spike used his Dragon Wing to block and deflect the attacks before Arcee jumped and attacked her. Both of them firmly swung and crossed their weapons at each other for couple of times. Just as they have their blade clashed, Mowu slammed and struck Arcee to the ground. To her shock and surprise, Spike unleashed his Dragon Flames on her. Using her Ice Power to cool off the flames, Mowu regrouped with the rest of her minions. They then charged and attacked Arcee and Spike, who fought back.
Hak Xing chanted darkly and calmly as she fired Dark Beam at Lance and Kasai, who firmly and calmly dodged and evaded the blasts for few times. She then tried to unleash her powerful Night Beam at them. The female unicorn summoned the barrier to block and deflect the blasts before the Pegasus jumped off and attacked her. She swiftly and calmly dodged and evaded the attacks while fighting back with her Blackish Blades. Both of them were swift and quick to attack at each other but only clashing their blades. Kasai ran around and firing her Twin Blasters at Hak Xing, who summoned and used the Barrier to block and deflect the attacks. While busy attacking both of them, she used her Gravity Power to levitate couple of rocks before throwing and struck down on them both. They both barely dodge and evade the attacks. She dashed in as she swung and struck her Blackish Blades at them, knocking both off against the wall. She then activated and unleashed her Darkness Destroyer on them. They barely dodged down before dashed straight at her, where they swung and struck the punches on her back and front before kicking her straight at the wall. Just as she recovered, she found Lance and Kasai charged attacked her. She fought back against them.
Shadow Dragon and Twilight were facing off Tso Lan, who remained calm and firm while glaring at them. Just as the Mystic Pony charged and tried to swing his Darkness Blade at his enemy, the Demon Lord of Moon teleported behind of Princess of Friendship. He fired his Dark Energy Ball to blast her off. She turned and tried to attack but he teleported off to side of Shadow Dragon, whom he levitated and knocked him at his wife. Just as they recovered, they tried to attack him but he kept on teleporting and appearing on different directions while firing Dark Energy Balls and Dark Beams on them. Despite the attacks he has put, two ponies remained firm and determined as they refused to beaten down. While they stick close together, Tso Lan reappeared on top of them, alerting Shadow Dragon to fire his Dark Spheres to blind him. Twilight blasted her Magical Beam on him. Just as he recovered, the Mystic Pony charged and attacked him relentlessly and fiercely before kicked his guts. The princess joined in as she fired her Sparkle Star Burst to blow him off. They both charged and attacked him. Tso Lan quickly summoned and used his Blackish Blades to block it before engaged the attacks on them. They both fought back against him.
Cutie Mark Crusaders continued watching her friends fighting off the enemies. They were worried and scared that the heroes might able to defeat the enemies.
"Dang it! I forgot how scary and tough Tso Lan is," Scootaloo remarked in fear.
"No kidding," Jade agreed, "Tall and dark creepy is gonna creamed them! We need to do something now!"
"Like how?! We don't even have the lotus to banish him!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed in concern.
Alyson groaned, "Tell me something we already know, Sweetie Belle. Got any better idea now?!"
"I have no idea! We have no chance against them!" Sweetie Belle said in concern.
Nyx hissed angrily, "T-This is all my fault. If I hadn't befriend Hak Xing in the first place, none of this would have happened!"
"If you wanna blame ponies, blame us," Apple Bloom said firmly yet sadly, shocking Nyx. She continued, "We're so sorry for not standing up for you. Cutie Mark Crusaders would never let one member to get hurt."
"Yeah. If one member gets hurt, then all of us do!" Scootaloo said firmly.
Alyson nodded, "Yeah. We're the team."
"And also friends," Sweetie Belle added.
"And a family. Don't forget that," Jade said proudly while holding Nyx close to her, "We'll always be friends till the end."
Touched by her friends' words, Nyx sighed, "Thanks guys. I owe you one."
Cutie Mark Crusaders hugged each other warmly and passionately. Unknown to anyone especially the heroes and villains were battling with each other, the whole chamber's pillars-like roots were glowing brightly in Mane Six's respective colors. This shocked and alerted everyone to see it.
Just before anyone could do anything, the pillars shinned brightly while unleashing powerful blasts on Tso Lan and his family. The power has weakened and wounded Tso Lan, Hak Xing and Mowu while the rest of their minions have burnt to crisp. As soon as the enemies have been weakened, the pillars-like roots dispersed the lighting. Everyone was in shock and surprise of what they saw.
"Damn it. The light… It burns me!" Hak Xing screamed in pain.
Tso Lan snarled, "We will meet again, fools!"
Hak Xing summoned the portal. She, her father and second-in-command quickly made their escape before they get caught and destroyed by their enemies.
"Wow. I did not expect that," Arcee commented.
Kasai nodded, "Me neither. What was that?"
"No clue. But glad it's on our side," Lance remarked in relief.
"Glad that's over." Twilight said calmly. She turned and looked at Nyx, who was still upset and angry. She turned and looked away from her. She sighed, "Nyx, can we talk? I didn't mean to hurt you."
Nyx huffed angrily, "You should've thought of that before kicking me out of your school."
"Nyx, please hear me," Twilight insisted in concern. She sighed, "When you and your friends helped Cozy Glow passed her homework, I was confident that she can pass her test as well. If she did, Chancellor Neighsay would back off from slandering my school."
"He slandered your school because of Cozy Glow failed the exams?!"
"Yeah. I got my anger and frustration blinded me because of that. But it's no excuse for what I've done to you. I should have listened more or get more I'm so sorry for what I did. Can you forgive me, Nyx?"
Nyx turned and looked at Twilight, who gave sad sobbing over her guilt and what she did to her. She can tell how much that she really cared for her.
Nyx walked over to Twilight as she gave her a warm hug, "Twilight... No, I mean... mummy... I forgive you."
Twilight sighed as she hugged her daughter back, "Thank you, Nyx."
Inside the School of Friendship's Lobby; everyone, both School of Friendship's and five other schools' staff members and students, have been gathered. Mane Eight, Dragon Strike Force and Lockdown were standing on the stage before their students and other five schools'. Cutie Mark Crusaders stood on the stairs, and surprisingly, they worn the graduation formal suits.
"I would like to thank both our students and other schools for participating and working together on Friends' Partnership Week Program. All of you have proven success and pass the tests and activities we have given. We are all proud of you all with this one-week fieldtrip and partnership with each other. Thank you so much," Twilight spoke calmly yet proudly. Everyone gave the applause and cheers for the program. She continued, "And now, we shall proceed to the most important event. Some students of mine have not only passed some tests and activities we have done from the past, but also proving themselves that they were able to help teaching one SOF student to pass her homework and tests."
Everyone chattered happily yet curiously about it, though Cheerilee and her students especially Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon knew it very much. They were proud and happy for their friends' achievement and success.
"And therefore, they have the right to earn their graduation. They're now officially honorary diplomas," Twilight said calmly yet proudly. She cleared her throat, "May I present you all to our finest students – Nyx Midnight, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Jade Adventure and Alyson Joy. No longer the students, they're now guidance counselors and Friendship Tutors."
Everyone gave the round of applause and cheers. Cutie Mark Crusaders climbed the stairs to the stage, where they received their honorary diploma certificates from Lockdown, who couldn't help but shed tears of joy while trying himself to be firm and calm yet proud to salute to them. They saluted back to him.
Cheerilee sighed, "Well done, girls."
"Congratulation, girls," Twilight said proudly. Cutie Mark Crusaders smiled proudly back to her. She turned and continued her speech, "So, anyone struggle with their homework and studies especially in young age, you all can look for Cutie Mark Crusaders to tutor you with this. But please, don't try to invade their privacy and school activities. They're still children. Set the date and time with them. Then, they will handle it."
Everyone chattered and nodded understandingly and happily about it. They can't wait to get to know more about Cutie Mark Crusaders, and also get some tutoring and lessons from them.
Cozy Glow approached to Cutie Mark Crusaders as she bowed humbly and apolegetic to Cutie Mark Crusaders. She spoke, "This is all my fault. I messed up my test on purpose because of someone who looked like you to threaten me. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Cozy Glow. I'm sorry for accusing you," Nyx said calmly with apologetic tone, though she was weary about her being one of three troublemakers that Mr. Thanatos and Hak Xing have mentioned. She continued warmly, "No thanks to the Demon."
Cozy Glow nodded, "Yes. They're very terrible and mean. We should be very careful."
Nyx nodded in agreement, "Yeah. No kidding. But water under the bridge."
"Agreed." Cozy Glow said in agreement.
After the graduation ceremony; Cutie Mark Crusaders, Lance, Shiroi, Spike and Arcee were gathered inside the library. They were discussing and chatting over the latest situation, which involved of Cozy Glow being one of three troublemakers that Mr. Thanatos and Hak Xing have mentioned. They became uneasy and worried about it.
"What the heck?!" Alyson said in shock.
"Y-You're kidding me?!" Scootaloo asked in disbelief.
"You really think that Cozy Glow is one of three troublemakers in the School of Friendship?" Sweetie Belle asked in concern. Nyx looked down in concern as she's not one hundred percent sure that she's the one. She hummed, "Okay, so what exactly she's really up to?"
Nyx shook her head in uncertainty, "I don't know."
"As far as I know of, she doesn't cause much troubles so far," Spike said firmly.
Arcee nodded in agreement, "Either way, we should keep our eyes out on her and her 'allies'."
"Yeah. She's right." Shiroi agreed as well, "I'm also wondering. What does Hak Xing mean 'she doesn't exist in this world, in this first place'?"
Apple Bloom looked worry as she asked, "You really think Cozy Glow's background is a lie? Why?"
Spike shrugged, "Hard to tell. All we know is that her parents never came and visit her here, or even calling us either. Weirdly enough, we never get a single letter for Cozy Glow. They're so neglectful to their own kid."
"Wow. That is weird," Jade said in shock, "I mean. I know I'm far away when I was a kid but my parents always keep on tabs with me when they're still alive."
"Whatever the case, like Arcee said, we should keep our eyes on her and her two buddies," Lance said firmly, "We have to be very careful now. No telling what they really after."
Nyx nodded, "Yeah. Do you think we should tell Mummy and others?"
Arcee answered, "We don't. We need more evidence and confirmation about Cozy Glow and her friends first before we make the report. That way she won't turn everyone against us."
"Good idea, Arcee." Lance agreed, "So, watch your backs and find anything that has to do with Cozy Glow."
Everyone chattered and nodded in agreement. Just as they exited out of library, they then found Cozy Glow was walking on the hallway.
"Cozy Glow?" Everyone asked in surprise.
Cozy Glow yelped, "Oh! Hey friends! I was just passing by. That's all. Congratulation!"
Nyx narrowed her firm and serious eyes, "Cozy Glow, what's exactly ware you doing here? What are you really after?"
"Gosh. That sounds like accusation and suspicious," Cozy Glow remarked innocently, "Why would you all think like that?"
"I don't know what's going on. But we will find out," Nyx said determinedly.
Cozy Glow smiled amusingly, "Is that so? Well, I wish you luck to do it. I'm looking forward to stay here and pass the tests. It's gonna be fun now…"
Cozy Glow then headed off now while humming calmly. Everyone was suspicious of why she was coming here, but decided to keep themselves. And hopefully, they would uncover the truth behind her and her friends, and their true purpose of coming here as well…
