Sunlight was in the middle of the ocean, fighting a giant, Kraken that appeared out of nowhere.
“Yesterday, it was a giant reptile that came out of nowhere, said Sunlight. And now, this abomination!! And if that wasn’t enough, i had to prevent dozen of natural catastrophes from striking highly populated cities. Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, Heat waves, Forest fires, Meteors and Floodings. It only the span of a week! It’s definitively caused by magic, but where does it came from?”
The Kraken tried to hit Sunlight with a tentacle that the hero dodged nimbly.
“I’m done playing with you, he said. I’ve got an anime to watch”
Sunlight did a cutting movement with his left hand.
“Tempest Slicer” he said, calmly.
The monster was sliced in half, from head to waist. The ocean was also splitted in half by the sheer power of the wind blade. Sunlight then burned the two halves of the creature to ashes.
“6 months ago, i would have never been able to beat that thing, said Sunlight. It’s crazy how much stronger those elemental gems made me. Oh well, i should probably contact my friends to see if they are okay!”
2 months ago
Sunlight was lying down on his back in the middle of a field.
“I’m so glad this is over!! He said. It took me 4 painful months of intensive training, but i mastered every element!!”
“You insisted on doing it the fastest way possible, said Celestia. I’m glad you had the will to go through it.”
“Well, i have no equal when it comes to magic, said Sunlight. My learning capabilities are incomparable.”
“That is true, said Celestia. Your intelligence is remarkable, on par with Twilight Sparkle. I’m glad you didn’t use it for evil...”
“Thank your student for that, said Sunlight. She and her friends exploits encouraged me to follow the path of good. Had it not be the case, i would probably have took a more violent path to stardom.”
“And i’m sure someday, said Celestia, you’ll inspire someone to follow the same path. Now, Discord, bring the elemental gems”
“Wait, already? He said. Fine...I guess you are ready to connect with them...We’ll go one by one.”
“What’s supposed to happen when i merge with them?” asked Sunlight.
“To be one with an elemental gem, said Discord, you must tame the beast inside. Only then, you’ll acquire the gem power”
“How do i tame them?” asked Sunlight.
“It will depend, said Discord. Each elemental beast have it’s own personality. Taming them with force is one way, but i would propose befriending them instead.”
“Let’s do this!! Said Sunlight. I’ll begin with the Fire gem...”
Back to the present
Sunlight was heading for the location where Sunset Shimmer was currently at, when he was caught by a tentacle and pulled underwater. The Kraken he supposedly killed earlier looked at him with angry eyes.
“You again? Asked Sunlight. I left you a chance to retreat, now, i’m going to get rid of your stupid face for good...Maelstorm, Spirit of the water...Take over my body and eat that monster!!”
Sunlight turned into a giant mutant Shark. The Kraken got scared and tried to flee.
“You’re not getting away, pal!! Said Maelstorm. I’m hungry, and your my meal!!”
Maelstorm swam at sonic speed at the monster and chomped it’s body in half with his gigantic jaw. He then swallowed the two part whole.
“Well, thank you for the meal, Sunlight, he said. Call me again if you need my help!!”
Sunlight body returned to normal and he headed to the surface. He then looked at the Fourth Wall
“You must all be wondering how i can turn into a giant shark, said Sunlight. The answer is magic, of course. It would be hard to explain, but to summarize it, it’s a transformation. During it, the elemental spirit take over my body, using it as a vessel to manifest in the physical world. What about my mind, you ask? Well, my spirit take the beast’s place in the gem, until it decide to return my body to me. They trust me, and i trust them, Friendship can really do wonders”
The voice of Aeria, spirit of the Wind gem, spoke to him in his mind.
”Sunlight, she said. I sense a massive change in pressure in the atmosphere!!”
“It’s the sign of a mega hurricane, he said. This one gonna be bigger than the ones i stopped before, way bigger. I might need you to intervene personaly with it.”
”Heck yeah!! She said. I mean, of course, count on me...”
A massive hurricane formed quickly a few miles from his location.
“Aeria, spirit of the Wind, Queen of the sky!! Said Sunlight. Take over my body and stop that huge-ass hurricane!! Transformation!!”
Sunlight’s body turned into a massive and elegant falcon. Aeria flew in direction of the hurricane. Once she arrived, she started flapping her wings slowly, creating a wind so strong than in less than 5 minutes, the hurricane was no more.
“My wings are numb, now, she said. I’m going to let them rest for some times. Take back your body, Sunlight!”
Aeria returned inside the wind gem, and Sunlight turned back to normal.
2 months ago
Sunlight touched the water gem, after what he found himself in the middle of a big, sparkly ocean. There were no traces of marine life.
”I’ve got to find the water spirit living in this magic gem, he thought. The fire spirit was a dragon, what will the water spirit look like? A giant octopus, a Kraken? A whale? A Sea Serpent? A giant crab? Or a Shark?”
He sensed something big approaching him at high speed. Sunlight instinctively created a water barrier around him and waited to see what was coming at him. His face turned blue when he saw a rad-looking shark twice the size of a Megalodon and tried to swin back to the surface immediately.
“I would have prefered an Octopus!!” he said.
The giant shark charged at him, jaws wide opened. Sunlight propulsed himself out of the danger with a powerful blast of water and landed on the shark’s head.
“Listen to me, you brute, he said. Gosh, i sound like Rarity. Uh-hum, I am not your dinner!!”
“Come on, dude, said the giant shark, i haven’t ate something in forever, i’m hungry!!!”
“And you think something as small as me will satisfy your hunger? Asked Sunlight. And then what after you eat me?”
“Well, uh, answered the beast. What are you proposing, then?”
“One of my friends can probably make you a seafood feast, said Sunlight. But first, you have to accept me as your friend!!”
“Don’t you mean master? Asked the Shark. It is why you’re here, right? To tame me? Make me your slave?”
“I’m not, said Sunlight. Forcing someone to follow you by using fear, violence and manipulation never lead to anything good, in the long term. I want to build a relationship based on respect, not fear.”
“Those are wise words you’re speaking, tiny man, said the giant shark. I’m really sorry for tryin’ to eat ya!! I’ll be your friend if you can keep my stomach full!...What’s a friend, anyway? Is it something edible?”
“A friend is...Well, said Sunlight. A friend is someone you can count on, someone who got your back, help you when things get bad. Friends support each other, laugh with each other, share secrets with each other, share your sadness, anger! Food can fill your stomach, but only friendship can fill the void in your heart. Let me offer you my friendship...Wow, that was a really good speech.”
“So that mean that if i become your friend, said the shark, I’ll get both a full belly and a full heart?”
“Sounds good, right? Said Sunlight. All i ask in return is let me access to the magic of this world.”
“You’ve got a deal, man! Said the Shark. By the way, my name is Maelstorm, but call me Mael. What’s your name?”
“Sunlight, he answered. Sunlight Blaze.”
“Accept this blessing from me, said Mael. I grant you the unique ability to command to sea life!! Might our friendship last for centuries!!”
Back to the present
Sunlight arrived at the location Sunset was at, and saw she was overwhelmed by dozen of giant, magically mutated bugs.
“Hey, Aragon!! Said Sunlight. Want to burn those bugs?”
“You really asking that to me? Asked Aragon. You know i love burning things!!”
“Aragon, supreme master of the fire!! Said Sunlight. I allow you to take over my body, and reduces those bugs to a crisp!!”
Sunlight’s body transformed into a giant dragon. Aragon took over his mind and flew down
“I hate insects!! Said Sunset. Why did it have to be insects!! My psychic powers don’t affect them and i’m too scared to transform!! Someone help me!!”
The insect in front of her was suddenly covered by flames.
“Sunlight?! She asked. Sunlight!!”
“Close, said Aragon. Get on my back!! Young girl!! Let’s burn some vermin!!”
“Who are you?” asked Sunset.
“A friend of your brother, answered Aragon. I’m Aragon, the Fire Spirit of the Flame Gem.”
“Did he sent you to help me?” asked Sunset.
“Yes, you can say that, answered the dragon. Now, stop talking and get on my back!”
Sunset levitated on his head.
“Oh, a psychic!! Said Aragon. Didn’t see one in ages!!”
Aragon tore in half a giant goliath beetle coming at them and burned the two parts to ashes. Sunset laughed and used her psychic powers to manipulate Aragon’s fire breath.
“That’s the spirit, girl!! Said the dragon. Alright, let’s get them all at once! Can you make them follow you?”
“I can try! She answered. What’s your plan?”
“You’ll see” said Aragon.
Sunset sent to all the giant bugs a powerful telepathic wave. The monsters got mad and all went after her.
“Okay, i got their attention, now what?!” asked Sunset.
Sunset got cornered by the bugs, she saw Aragon’s signal and sheltered herself in a forcefield.
“Meganova!!” shouted Aragon.
The bugs were vaporized in an instant by the flames, while she was protected by her magic. The flames disappeared as fast as they appeared and she lowered her barrier.
“He’s right, said Aragon. Shouting the name of your attack really make it sound different!! Well, i’m done here, so i’ll just leave him to you!”
He laughed and transformed back into Sunlight.
“Wait, what? She said. You were that Dragon?!!”
“Yeah, i should probably have mentionned this exact detail to you, said Sunlight. Didn’t i told you i could transform into elemental beasts? Well, now you know!!”
“I didn’t felt your presence inside him, asked Sunset. What happened to you while he was out!”
“Oh, i was just taking it chill in the Flame gem, answered Sunlight. Don’t worry, they’re my friends, i trust them and they trust me!! Oh, and sorry i took so long to join you, i had to fight a giant Kraken and stop a mega hurricane on the way. Oh, do you want to meet my friends?”
“You mean, the elemental beasts? Asked Sunset. Of course, i do!!”
Sunlight made the water gem appear in his palm. Sunset hesitated, but Sunlight reassured her. She touched it and found herself in the middle of an ocean. A giant shark appeared behind her and she freaked out.
“Relax, girl!! I won’t eat you!! Said the Shark. So, you’re his sister? Nice to meet you!! My name is Maelstorm, but you, milady, can call me Mael!”
“You’re pretty chill for someone who could eat a building in one go, said Sunset. So, you are the water beast that lived inside the water gem?”
“I sure am!! Answered Mael. I am the master of the seas, the King of all oceans!! And a seafood expert!”
“Well, nice to meet you, Mael, said Sunset. My name is Sunset Shimmer. Do you want to be my friend too?”
“How could i resist to such a cute face like your? Said Mael. You can never have too much friends!!”
Sunset came back to the real world, confused.
“I like him, she said. He’s such a big softie!!”
“Yeah, he’s pretty sweet, said Sunlight. He’s got a heart as big as his stomach.”
He then swapped the water gem for the wind one. She touched it and was immediately free falling. She landed on the back of a giant bird.
“Hi, fellow girl!! Said Aeria. I’m Aeria!! The graceful spirit of the wind!! What brings you here?!”
“Nice to meet you, Aeria!! Said Sunset. My name is Sunset Shimmer! I’m Sunlight’s sister!! He wanted me to meet you!!”
“Well, it sure is a pleasure to meet you, Sunset Shimmer!! Said Aeria. You might wonder what pushed me to follow your brother, right?”
“I would love to hear about it!!” said Sunset.
“Well, it was 2 months ago, said Aeria. Cue the flashback sequence!”
Two months ago.
Sunlight was free falling from the sky, not perturbed at all. He yawned and stopped his fall with blast of winds, then landed on clouds. He only made one step when he saw emerging from the clouds the silhouette of a head. The clouds disappeared and the silhouette revealed to be a giant falcon that was looking at him with curious eyes.
“Oh!! You look tasty, little man!” said the giant bird.
“You look tasty as well” answered Sunlight.
The bird laughed.
“I’m Aeria, Queen of the skies, Master of winds, guardian of the Wind gem!! What brings you in my world, little human?”
“I was hoping you could allow me to use the powers of the gem, said Sunlight. Be reassured, i won’t use violence, nor intimidation. Rather, i’ll use Kindness to tame you!!”
“Like you could land a scratch on me! Said Aeria. You can fly, right? I’ve been so bored, lately, i’m craving for a competition!! If you can beat me in a race, i’ll judge you worthy of my friendship, and the wind gem’s power!!”
Wings appeared on Sunlight’s back.
“This is only for the race, said Aeria. If you can beat me, i’ll allow you to keep them in the real world!! As for the race itself, the first to make it past that giant storm and arrive on top of the Sky Mountain win!! I’m warning you, i aced it at least thousand of times!! So it won’t be easy for you!! Anything goes!!”
“Bring it, birdbrain!! Said Sunlight. I’m ready...”
“The race begin now!!” she said.
Aeria flew at supersonic speed toward South, leaving Sunlight far behind. He smiled and followed her, quickly catching the distance in minutes. Sunlight generated a smoke screen using fire magic to blind Aeria.
“Did you pick that trick from Aragon? Asked Aeria. You’ll have to do better, son!! I know this place like the bottom of my stomach!! I don’t even need my eyes to see where i’m going, i’m feeling the wind!!”
She grabbed Sunlight in her claws, did a full circle and lauched him away. She then continued flying in direction of the storm. Sunlight regained his balance and flew toward Aeria.
“There are lots of clouds in this world, said Sunlight. That gives me an idea!!”
Sunlight turned the clouds into water, that he shaped in a giant sphere.
“Hey, birdbrain!! Said Sunlight, who appeared above her. You need a shower!!”
“Whaaaat? Asked Aeria. What do you mean?”
Sunlight enveloped the giant bird in a water bubble that he then make explode.
“So, i’m wet! Said Aeria. Now what? You think being covered of water will slow me?”
A spark appeared in Sunlight’s hand. Aeris’ eyes widened in fear.
“I’m kidding!! Said Sunlight. I’m not a bad guy!”
He generated sand from his palms that he aimed at the giant bird. Water and sand mixed on her body to make mud, who quickly dried up with the wind.
“That should slow you down, said Sunlight. Well, i have a race to win!!”
Aeris laughed.
“He still have no chance to win against me, even with those tactics, she said. But i have to admit he’s pretty smart...”
Aeria continued flying, covered in dried mud and was catching on to Sunlight.
“Damn, he said. That didn’t even phased her...She’s still very fast!! Alright then, time to rise up the heat!!”
Sunlight created multiple clones of himself.
“Hold her back with everything you’ve got!! Said the original Sunlight. We have to win this race!!”
The Sunlights turned clouds into water and formed it into a prison to stop Aeria.
“Don’t underestimate me!! She said. That is an impressive technique you’ve used, but i’m the master of winds!!”
She broke the water prison and send the clones flying far away. They came back and stuck themselves against various part of her body.
“Get off me!! She said. Your tickling me!! Stop!!”
One of the Sunlights was holding the base of her tail. He saw her butthole and smiled devilishly.
“Don’t you dare!! She said. What are you going to do to it?!!”
The clone entered in the hole made a great quantity of air enter inside, bloating her belly. Aeria became a dizzy and slowed down. The Sunlights disappeared at the same time in an explosion of smoke. Meanwhile, the original Sunlight was already flying through the storm.
“That last one was probably out of place, he said. But she said anything goes!!”
He got past the storm and saw the big mountain in front of him. Aeria finally got her balance back and started flying toward the storm faster than ever. After a few minutes, she saw Sunlight, who just arrived on top of the mountain.
“You bastard! You pervert!! She said, enraged. Have you no respect for a girl’s genitals?!
“My clones have their proper will, said Sunlight. I have no control on what they do...I didn’t expect one to do such a thing!”
He laughed.
“That’s not funny!!” said Aeria.
“Still, i won!! Said Sunlight. So, you have to be my friend. Oh, and i’m sorry for what my clone did, what can i do to make it up to you?”
“First, you’re going to clean my body from that mud!! Answered Aeria. No magic allowed. You’ll do it with a scrubber and a bucket of water!! And no clones!”
“Fine, he said. Well, better get to it, then!!”
Back to the present
“After that, we became friends!!” said Aeria.
“You totally liked having him inside your butt, don’t you?” asked Sunset.
“Maybe, she said, embarrassed. It was so long since someone touched me down here...Thinking about it, it was the first time it happened!!”
“I can hear you, you know!! Said Sunlight’s voice. Don’t get the wrong idea!! I’m a human, you’re a giant freacking bird!!”
“I have more than one form, you know!! Said Aeria. I could take a more human shape if you want?”
“Okay, end of the conversation!!” said Sunlight, who cutted the telepathic link.
Sunset came back to reality.
“You still have it with the girls, she said. Even a giant female falcon can’t resist you!!”
“Shut up, he said. It was my clone who did it, not me”
“Sure, said Sunset. Well, i’m receiving a signal from Twilight!! She need our help pronto!!”
