//------------------------------// // Episode 2: Meeting the Ponies // Story: Equestria's Heroes // by ArmorKamen85 //------------------------------// Previous on Equestria's heroes: Four boys from four different worlds were mysteriously transported to another world that they are not familar with. These boys are: Hibiki Kuze Yusei Fudo Shinji Ikari And X Knowing that they're in the same situation, the four boys work together to find civilization as they end up to a castle and meet a talking pony! What will happen next to our heroes? Our heroes couldn't believe on what was happening. There was some sort of purple pegasus and unicorn hybrid and it can talk. Granteed, they have seen weirder things but they couldn't help but be shocked upon what was happening. However their train of thought was cut off as Twilight spoke again. "Um, are you four ok?" She asked. "U-Um yeah, sorry about that." Shinji aplogised. "Its ok." Twilight said with an understanding smile. "How about you four come inside. You must he tired as it seems you've been wondering. As Twilight entered the castle our heroes looked at each other. "Are you guys sure we can trust her?" X whispered. "I'm not really sure how to answer that." Shinji whispered. "But she seems so nice. And she's really cute!" Hibiki whispered which got the other heroes to look at him weirdly. "Um, forget what I said." "Look, let's just remain cautious and follow what she does." Yusei whispered as the other heroes nodded at that. "Uh, are you guys coming?" Twilight asked as her voice was heard inside the castle. "Coming!" The heroes said before entering inside. (Later) Twilight was busy taking our heroes a tour around the castle. Hibiki and Shinji were amazed as they looked around in awe. X was rather intrigued as he kept getting a closer look at the structure of the castle. Yusei however, despite he was impressed on beautiful the castle looked, he still remained cautious. Twilight then lead our heroes to a room. "This is where my friends are at." She explained. "Would you like to me them?" While our heroes were still cautious about saying yes, Twlight doesn't seem to hold any harmful intentions, so Hibiki spoke up for them. "Sure." He said which got Twilight to smile as he openned the door before she and the heroes entered inside. Inside our heroes saw some new ponies. One was a orange pony who had a blonde main a wore a cowboy hat. One was a cyan pegasus that had a rainbow coloured mane. One was a white coloured unicorn with a purple mane. One was a pink pony with a pink mane, though it was darker. One was a yellow pegasus with a pink mane. The last was a purple unicorn with a purple and cyan mane. "Girls." Twilight said getting the other ponies attention. "We have some new guests. These are...oh, I didn't get your names." "Oh, I'm Hibiki. Hibiki Kuze." Hibiki said. "I'm Yusei. Yusei Fudo." Yusei said. "I'm Shinji. Shinji Ikari." Shinji said. "And I'm X. And its just X." X said. "Well nice to meet you fellas." The orange pony said shaking X's hand. "The names Applejack." "I'm Rainbow Dash!" The cyan pegasus said. "I'm the coolest and fastest pony in Equestria!" "Hi there I'm Pinkie Pie!" The pink pony said. "Do you like parties? Because I gonna throw a big surprise party!" "A pleasure to meet you darlings, I'm Rarity." The white unicorn said battling her eyelashes. "I-I'm...Fluttershy..." The yellow pegasus said as she whispered the last part but the heroes were able to hear it. "Oh, and I'm Starlight. Starlight Glimmer." The purple unicorn said. "Ok, is that all of you?" Yusei asked. "Oh no, there's someone else you need to meet." Twilight said. "Um, who?" X asked. "Hey guys, I'm back with the papers." A voice said. Our heroes turned to look down in shock. In behind there was a small purple like lizard with green spines. But our heroes knew what it was. "DRAGON!" X yelled summoning his Mega Buster and aimed it at that drake who backed away in fear. "X PLEASE STOP!" Twilight pleaded as X lowered his Mega Buster. "He's my number one assistant." "Well you never mentioned about Dragons living here." Yusei said. "They don't." Rainbow Dash said. "This is Spike. He's the only acception because he was raised by Twilight." "Oh." X said disummoning his Mega Buster and kneeled down to Spike. "Sorry about that, no hard feelings?" "Nah, its ok." Spike said shaking X's hand. "So, what brings you four here?" Rarity asked. "Well we were looking for someone, or in this case...somepony?" Shinji said as Twilight nodded in response. "To give us directions on where we are at." "Oh you're in Equestria, to be more spersific, Ponyville." Starlight replied. "Um, what is Equestria?" Yusei asked. "Glad you asked Yusei." Twilight said with a smile. "Equestria is the country of the world where Ponies live." "Country?" X said. "So Ponies aren't the only beings living in this world?" "Correct." Twilight replied. "There are Dragons, Griffons, Changelings, Yaks, Hippogriffs and much more." "Wow! That's so cool." Hibiki excalimed "Ok another question, how come you're the only pony in this room with wings and a horn?" Yusei asked. "Oh, I'm a Alicorn." Twilight explained. "Alicorns are a sign of royalty." "So does that mean?" Shinji asked. "Yes, I'm a Princess." Twilight replied. "I WAS a unicorn but I was able to solve and corrected a one thousand year old spell." "So Unicorns can become a Alicorn if they achieve a huge magical feat?" Yusei asked to which Twilight nodded to. "So, are there any other Alicorns?" "Yes. There are the two rulers of Equestria. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Who have the power to raise both the sun and the moon." Twilight explained. "My sister in law Princess Cadencs is also an Alicorn as she rules the Crystal Empire alongside my brother. My niece is also a Alicorn." "Ok, this is starting to sound like something from a kid's TV show." X whispered to Yusei. "True, but we need to have some information." Yusei whispered back. "So has there been like any evil here?" Shinji asked. "Unfortuently, yes." Twilight said. "But we where able to defeat the villains and ensure harmony to Equestria. Any other questions?" "I got one. Why do you have tattoos on your flanks?" X asked. "X!" Yusei, Hibiki and Shinji yelled. "What?" X said. "You guys want to know that as much as I do." "Oh, these are our Cutie Marks." Twilight explained. "These represent a Pony's talent. They don't appear when a Pony is born, they have to be earned by finding a talent." "Yup, this does sound like a kid's TV show." X thought. "So do Ponies only get Cutie Marks?" Yusei asked. "Yes." Twilight said. "The chance of our creatures getting them is very slim." "I see." Yusei said. "Um, why are your Cuties Marks glowing?" Shinji asked. This confused the ponies for a moment before they looked to see that their cutie marks were indeed glowing. "The Friendship Map is calling us." Applejack said. "Friendship Map? What is that?" Shinji asked. "Oh, it call us to go solve a Friendship Problem." Rainbow Dash explained. "Yup, kid's TV show." X mentally sighed. "Would you like to see it?" Twilight asked. "Sure. Count us in!" Hibiki asked. Then our heroes along with the Mane 7 and Spike rushed to the Friendship Map room.
