//------------------------------// // Chapter 12: Special's Finest Hour // Story: My Little Pony: The Great Defenders of Friendship // by specialhoof2022 //------------------------------// I made it back to Ponyville, I ran back to Twilight's old castle to begin the job God gave me and rally the others. I met the foals at the library. "I'm back everypony." I say. "Special, you're back." Ellagant Glare shouted. "Are you feeling okay?" "I'm all better now." I answered. "In fact, I'm feeling like myself again." "You know we like you for being you." said Horseshoe Henry. "Everypony, Twilight Sparkle talked to me again. She took me to Heaven, and I met God, the Lord Almighty." "You were at Heaven?" Fearful Moe asked surprisingly. "Yes. And God helped me feel better and told me how special he made me, all of you, and the whole world. He made everything like the sky, the seas, the land, the sun and moon, the animals, and us. When we know he made us special, we can still be ourselves because he loves us the way we are." "It's true." said Ellagant Glare. "God wants us to stay who we are, so we can be just like him." "And, he wants everypony in Equestria to learn and obey his rules, and how live a good long life his way." "So, God gave you that soft covered book?" Color Carol asked me. "This is actually a Bible. It contains all the stories, lessons, and verses we all need to know about from God." "Nice." said Fruity Tooty. "Anyway, are we back to making a plan of how to save the grown ups from Cozy?" "That just it, God gave us a job to rescue our friends, foil Cozy's scheme, and save Equestria." "Okay, let's get ready everypony." said Daytime Darwin. We all became confident and filled with pride and faith, we believed we could do God's job. So, we began to grab some useful supplies we could use for the rescue and the rest of the quest. Back at the Crystal Brighthouse in Maretime Bay, the 3 Unity Crystals were starting to glow. The door opened, and the crystals started flying towards us, just as God has promised. Meanwhile at the Castle of the Two Sisters, Sunny and her friends were in chains, so they wouldn't escape. Izzy had a chain with magic on her horn, so she wouldn't use her magic on harm. And, Zipp and Pipp's wings were affected by a magic source, so they wouldn't fly. "Well, well, well... If it isn't the 5 heroes from Maretime Bay." Cozy Glow said. "All shackled up and no place to go." "Cozy, you may have us in chains, nut we have company coming soon." said Hitch Trailblazer. "That's what you want to think." said Cozy. "My plan and army is complete at last. Now, that I got all of you, no one can stop me now." Then, Cozy let out her evil laugh as lightning and thunder effects appeared. Although there was no storm tonight, she was just doing it like acting. Before she could order her army for marching, she needed to get all-powerful. One of her thugs brought her the Bewitching Bell and activated it. The magic from the bell made Cozy an all-powered alicorn with a long horn, and bigger wings. She had been unbeatable years ago, she might be unbeatable again against Equestria. Now, that Cozy's ready, she could start her invasion. For me and my friends, we were gearing up for the rescue and fight. Streamer Smooth, Horseshoe Henry, Sharpy Gem, Carver Crafty, Needle Stitch, and Color Carol were designing and making weapons, and crafting some outfits for all of us to wear in the fight. Finally, after 20 minutes, we were all suited up. "Wow everypony, you all look like a big group of warriors." I say. "Yeah, I can't believe I'm really gonna be a hero." Cloudy Carla said excitingly. "Oh yeah, baby!" said Astro Alex. "I can be a shooting star!" "Alright everypony." said Carver Crafty. "All of our weapons are complete." I looked into the mirror and my warrior outfit was the same one I was wearing in God's portrait. I remembered he told me that the Unity Crystals will come and give us special powers soon, all we had to do is wait and see. "Everypony, God also told me the Unity Crystals will come and give us our own powers. But, he didn't say when, so we should wait until they're here." I told everypony. "Special powers?" Ellagant Glare asked. "That's so amazing." "Okay everypony, this is our finest hour. This is our moment to shine, and make our minute to save Equestria. We all know God made us to be who we are, and gave us this quest as a test. We can do our part hoof to heart. For Twilight Sparkle. ARE YOU READY?!?" Everypony cheered as the answer of saying "yes." Then, we all left Twilight's castle and discovered a big glow in the distance in the Everfree Forest. We believe we should follow the light to find Cozy Glow. "Alright everypony, let's ride like the wind!" I shouted. Then, we started galloping to the Castle of the Two Sisters to complete our quest. We were running through the abandoned streets of Ponyville, entered the Everfree Forest, and luckily, we brought lights with to see in the dark. It was taking a while, but we were able to get pass the scary trees, across the river, and then we finally found the ancient castle. "We found the castle." said Constellation. "It's like 1,100 years old." said Sharpy Gem. "Come on everypony, let's cross this bridge and go inside." I say. We were walking on the old bridge to get to the other side.
