Episode 5: Skipping class

Previous on Equestria's Heroes:

The school of friendship has offically been opened.

Our heroes soon meet the students from the other kingdoms and soon become great friends with them.

However things take a turn for the worse as the EEA rules make things stressful for everyone.

What will happen next?

https://m.

Our heroes were currently seen walking in the halls with the six students. You see after what happened, they were feeling really bored so they weren't really in the best mood.

"Is this what boring is?" Silverstream asked. "Am I bored?"

"This is what boring is, Silver." X answered her.

"Ugh, please." Smolder groaned. "These are the heroes of Equestria?"

"Not really sure because we've only know them for about four weeks." Yusei explained.

"Though, it is a lot of time to know them." Hibiki said as Yusei shrugged.

"Listen, these ponies saved all of us from the Storm King!" Sandbar reminded them.

"How, by boring her into surrender?" Gallus asked sarcastically.

"I guess they can't say "Death" in this world." X whispered to Shinji who nodded in response.

"Well considering how peaceful this world is I'm not really surprised." Shinji commented.

"Our teachers are a little different than I expected." Ocellus said.

"They're not that bad." Shinji said.

"Ugh, pony school waste of time!" Yona complained. "Yak school teach how to braid yak hair! Braiding yak hair is best!"

She then tripped on her braids and rolled into Smolder.

"You ok Yona?" X says as he ran and helped up Yona who nodded in response."

"Is there anything in Yakyakistan that isn't the best?" Smolder asked with annoyed look.

"Yes!" Yona quickly replied before realising her mistake. "Wait. NO! Yaks best."

"No claws, no wings, no fire." Smolder said invading Yona's personal space. "What is it exactly you're proud of?"

"Whoa, cool it!" Sandbar said, as he could tell its getting tense "No need to harsh Yona's love for her heritage, kay?"

"Yeah, everyone should be proud of their heritage." Hibiki said.

"Aw, are we not being sweet and friendly enough for you two?" Gallus asked sarcastically before glaring at Sandbar and Hibiki.

"Wow, rude much?" X muttered while sweatdropping.

"That was sarcasm, right?" Silverstream asked. "Cause you weren't being sweet or nice?"

"Everything just has to be exciting to her..." Shinji said sweatdropping.

"Maybe dragons and griffons are just too tough for friendship". Smolder said as she and Gallus did a fist bump.

"Yaks tough, just not nasty." Yona said glaring at Gallus.

"Who you calling nasty klutz?!" Gallus said.

"Okay, break it up!" Rainbow appeared and getting between them. "BREAK! IT! UP!"

Applejack lassos Gallus as Starlight pulls up Yona back with her magic.

"What is going on here?!" Starlight asked.

"Just a friendly discussion about the magic of friendship amongst friends." Gallus replied sarcasticly.

"Everypony... I mean, everyone go to your next class!" Applejack said firmly as the students left. The heroes were about to leave but Applejack stopped them. "Not you four. Tell me what happened?"

"Well we just got out from Rarity's lesson and it made us feel stress." Yusei explained. "We were trying to have a normal conversation but as you saw, things got out of hand."

"I can't believe it, fights breakin' out when they're supposed to be learnin' friendship?" Applejack said.

"Things definitely aren't going as by the book as Twilight planned." Starlight said.

"That's because we're terrible teachers!" Rainbow said. "Face it: this school isn't gonna work."

(Later)

The heroes and other of the mane 7 met up with Twilight at her office, but they were talking at the same time and Rainbow showed a drawing her with her cracked open.

"I get it, things are getting off to a rougher start than expected." Twilight said. "But it's okay!"

Spike then climb on to her desk and went up to her face.

"Who are you and what have you done with Twilight Sparkle?" He asked as Twilight pulls him away with her magic.

"Every school in Equestria follows these rules." She said bringing out the book again. "As long as we do too, we'll be fine."

"Maybe we should... try something new?" Starlight suggested.

"The EEA will be here this afternoon for Friends and Family Day!" Twilight said. "They need a school that follows their guidelines!"

"Look, I understand this is important to you Twilight." Yusei began. "But you're making this place seem less of a school and more of a prison."

"Yusei!" Twilight gasped in shock. "What makes you say that?!"

"Well, considering that fact we're right here complaining to you." X replied.

"Can't you just change the rules a little bit?" Hibiki asked.

"No. We have to make sure to use the exact guidelines the EEA wants us to follow." Twilight replied.

"Even if those guidelines aren't working?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well then, we have to try harder and make sure they do." Twilight said firmly.

The heroes and the rest of the mane 7 were unsure of this, and Twilight was starting to sound like a EEA member. But before any of them could refute the school bell rang.

"Another morning, another chance to inspire our students!" Twilight said as the heroes and girls soon left with sad and annoyed looks.

(Later)

Meanwhile Sandbar was on his way to class but then he saw Smolder and Gallus heading the opposite direction off their class which confused him.

"Hey! Professer Dash's class is this way." He said, pointing the right direction.

"Where are you going?" Ocellus asked as she, Yona, Silverstream, Hibiki and Shinji appeared before gasping.. You're not...skipping, are you?"

"That's exactly what we're doing." Smolder said fist bumping Gallus.

"But friends and family is-" Silverstream tried to say.

"Is after class." Gallus said cutting her off. "Relax, this is just a quick...mental health break."

Ocellus, Silverstream and Yona looked at Hibiki and Shinji.

"What do you two think?" Ocellus asked.

Hibiki and Shinji thought about it. While they would get into trouble for skipping class, the days of school were nothing but torture. And since it would only be once, they decided why not?

"Ok, but let's make sure its quick." Shinji said.

"That sounds legit!" Silverstream said before looking at Smolder and Gallus. "We're in!"

"I guess I'll tag along too." Sandbar said with an uneasy look. "Make sure you don't get into... trouble."

They began to head down the hall, but when they got to a turn they heard a familar voice.

"This way, Angel!"

"Professer Fluttershy!" Silverstream cried. "We're busted!"

"Any ideas?" Hibiki asked.

Ocellus then turns into Rarity just as Fluttershy appeared.

"Oh my!" Fluttershy said seeing them. "What are you all doing? Aren't classes that way?"

"Ah... A generosity field trip, daaaaarling." Ocellus said pretending to be Rarity. "I'm taking the students to the lake to look at our divine reflections."

The others were completely shocked. Both of her turning into Rarity, and it's probably working.

"Oh, that sounds nice!" Fluttershy said. "Have fun!"

As Fluttershy leaves, Angel was suspicious off what's going on.

When they were gone, Ocellus turns back.

"Great! Now we can get out of here." Hibiki said as he and the others ran off.

"I take back everything I said about you!" Smolder said. "That was cool!"

"Thanks!" Ocellus said and realize something. "Wait, what did you say about me?"

(Meanwhile)

Rainbow Dash entered her classroom with a tired look.

"Hello class, we-" She stopped mid-sentence as she looked in shock to see that Yusei and X were the only ones there. "Where are the others?!"

"We're not sure." Yusei replied.

"Yeah, we were the first ones here and no one else showed up." X explained.

"Well we got to go look for them!" Rainbow shouted. "Twilight said the EEA would be here this afternoon!"

Realizing the situation, Yusei and X followed Rainbow to find Hibiki, Shinji and the students.

(Later)

Sometime later, Twilight and Starlight were at the courtyard.

"You sure sticking to the book is gonna work?" Starlight asked.

"My friends can handle anything." Twilight reassured. "They'll have these problems turned around before we know it."

"Problems?" Neighsay asked stepping out of a portal behind them.

"Chancellor Neighsay! you're here!" Twilight said surprised.

"Yes. And you seemed unprepared." He said. "If there are problems..."

"Problems? Ha! Of course not!" Twilight said acting calm. "We can't wait to show you around!"

(Elsewhere)

Meanwhile, Hibiki, Shinji and the six students were at the lake hanging out.

"And that's why Griffons breathe fire when we get mad." Said Gallus.

"They do not!" Silverstream said. "Wait! Do they? No! Really?"

"Griffons just full of hot air!" Yona said as everyone laughed at that.

"And yaks are actually good at jokes!" Smolder said "How about that?"

"Yeah, it was pretty funny." Hibiki said before sighing. "Now this is the life. No school stressing us, just peace. Perfect peace."

"You said it." Smolder sighs. "A dragon's life."

"What are dragons good at?" Ocellus asked.

"Yeah? What'd you guys do?" Shinji asked.

"Competition!" Smolder answered and flies up. "Who's up for a race?"

That sparks the others interest though Shinji was a bit relucant to agree onto it.

(Meanwhile)

Rainbow Dash was with Yusei and X searching for the others but no sign of them.

They soon accidently run into Twilight and Starlight who were showing Neighsay around the school.

"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight said surprised. "Why aren't you in class teaching Yusei, X and the others?"

"Because the rest of my students are gone..." Rainbow Dash tried to reply but stopped as she saw Chancellor Neighsay looking up at her. "Somewhere else! Doing a loyalty lesson! And, and I was just going to grab, uh... this pencil! Because I need it. Whatever they are! Which I know, 'cause... I'm the teacher!"

"I see!" Twilight said, laughing nervously. "Well, Chancellor, we have other classes, we can just..."

"Let's follow this professor." Neighsay said. "I'm quite curious about this lesson in loyalty."

Rainbow then knows that she was in trouble.

(Elsewhere)

Hibiki, Shinji and the students were racing as Yona almost tripped, but Hibiki, Shinji and Sandbar caught her.

"Of course, we want to instill a sense of loyalty towards others. We encourage acts of generosity and kindness."

Then Gallus lifts Sandbar off the ground and flies of, Silverstream and Smolder lifted Yona as well. And Ocellus turns into a large dragon and lifts Hibiki and Shinji up.

"Figured we shouldn't be the only ones enjoying the view." Gallus said.

"Wow thanks!" Hibiki said with a smile.

"Oh..." Shinji said, looking at the sky he and others were flying through in amazement.

"Waaaah! Yak non best at flying!" Yona cried.

"And appreciation for the value of laughter"

"Flying is best!" Yona said now enjoying it.

"Congratulations, Yona!" Silerstream said "You are officially the weirdest thing I've seen before!"

"What do you say, Ocellus?" Smolder asked. "Can you be weirder that a flying yak?"

Ocellus smiles and shapeshifts as the others starred in awe.

(Meanwhile)

Twilight and Starlight are still giving Neighsay a tour as Yusei, X and Rainbow Dash followed them.

"... and to always be honest in any situation." Twilight finished.

"Honesty is imperative." Neighsay said getting suspicious. "Princess, are we going circles?"

"Uh, look at the time!" Twilight said bringing out a watch. "We'd better head to the lake for Friends and Family Day. I'm sure all the students and faculty will be there."

And the six walked outside.

(Later)

Outside everyone is having a good time. And getting to know one another. But then Ember sees something.

"What is that?" She said pointing ahead.

They saw Yona being carried by Silverstream and Smolder, Gallus carrying Sandbar, but Hibiki and Shinji were on some sort of ant-eater insect hybrid.

Ponies began fleeing for their lives of what they saw was coming to them.

"Ah! The school is under attack!" Neighsay said covering his head.

"Snap out of it!" X shouted shaking him. "Everything is going to be fine!"

Among the chaos, Gallus accidentally drops Sandbar. And he crashes into Seaspray, Rutherford and Thorax. Then Silverstream, Yona and Smolder fell down crashing into a booth. And a cake hits Grandpa Gruff in the face. Then Ocellus lost control and crashes into the school, causing a tower falling down. But Hibiki and Shinji were there to make sure she landed safely.

Yusei and X then ran to their friends.

"Is everyone alright?" Yusei asked as they nodded.

"Then can you explain to us on why you weren't in class?!" X asked sternly.

"Uh, maybe skipping class wasn't the best idea?" Silverstream lamely replied.

"You guys skipped class?!" Yusei and X yelled.

"Look, I know it was wrong of us to do so, but we were stressed." Hibiki said.

"Y-Yeah, we didn't mean to worry you guys." Shinji said.

"Well we're just glad that none of you are hurt." X said.

"Though," Yusei began as he and the others looked at the damage. "I can't say the same for everyone."

"How dare you?!" Neighsay said furiously. "This act of aggression against ponies..."

"I'm so sorry, Chancellor." Twilight tried to explain. "We clearly had some students get a little carried away."

"Those are students?!" Neighsay asked in disbelief as he pointed a hoof to the heroes and the said students. "But you said you were opening this school to protect Equestria! To defend ponies from... dangerous creatures who don't have our best interests at heart!" He pointed to Thorax, Seaspray, Rutherford, Ember and Grandpa Gruff.

"My school teaches for all of us to work together through friendship." Twilight said.

"Then do you know these creatures won't take what they have learned here and use it against us?" Neighsay asked.

"Friendship isn't just for ponies!" Twilight said.

"It should be." Neighsay stated coldly.

"Unicorn thinks yaks no need friendship?" Rutherford said in disbelief. "Maybe yaks no need pony school!"

"Well, perhaps you should return to YOUR kind." Neighsay stated coldly.

"Your kind?!" Ember said in disbelief before becoming furious. "Smolder, let's go!"

"Wait Smolder..." Yusei said.

"Forget it Yusei." Smolder said. "But even though we never talked much, you're an awesome friend. Even by dragon standards."

Smolder then flew off after Ember.

"Queen Novo will want to hear of this!" Seaspray said leaving.

"Well this place seemed lame anyways!" Grandpa Gruff said following his lead.

"Silverstream," Hibiki said holding Silverstream's claw. "Please don't go..."

"I'm sorry Hibiki." Silverstream said sadly. "B-But I have to go back. But I-I enjoyed the time we spent t-together. I'll never forget that. Thank you for being my first human friend."

"Yona don't go." X said. "We're friends..."

"Yona don't wanna leave X..." Yona said sadly before hugging X. "But Yona have to go home now. Yona will not forget X."

Silverstream, Yona and Gallus then followered their elders.

"It's fine." Thorax said despondently. "We know not every pony sees us the way you do. We're used to it."

"Wait Ocellus..." Shinji said.

"I'm sorry Shinji." Ocellus said. "But Thorax is right. Though if it makes you feel better, I wanna thank you for giving me confidence to be at the School Of Friendship. I'll treasure that memory forever."

Ocellus and Thorax then flew away. Shinji fell to his knees as he had tears in his eyes. Hibiki kneels to Shinji and hugged him as the heroes were sad of losing their friends. Twilight was angry as she then walked to Neighsay with a glare.

"Princess Celestia helped me reach out to all the kingdoms!" She said. "And when she hears that you closed the school because..."

"Because you failed to meet the EEA standards?" Neighsay said cutting her off.

"What?!" Twilight said shocked.

"Irresponsible teachers, students skipping class, endangering ponies!" Neighsay said. "Your school is a disaster! Perhaps if you had higher standards for who was admitted, this could have been avoided! Regardless..."

He then pressed his badge, and magically made a huge chain and the door was lock by a magically lock and chains.

"By order of the EEA, I am shutting this school...DOWN!"

"Oh no..." Twilight said in despair.

(Elsewhere)

In a forest, we can see something moving in the dark.

"So it has begun...." It said.
