//------------------------------// // Season 1: Episode 17 - Eeveelution Hero // Story: My Little Pony: When Friendship Shimmers - Reboot // by RobtheMorpherPony //------------------------------// At Appleloosa, the elements had expected this to be a simple "plant an apple tree and check out a western town" job, but did not expect to get involved in a dispute between the native Buffalo tribe, and the setttler ponies. Attempts to get the two sides to co-exist; even the ones thought up by Sunset; were going poorly, and it was starting to escalate. This is when a masculine voice shouted out. "ENOUGH!" The voice belonged to Throsten of all creatures. "Native Buffalo, as an ally to equestria, I; King Throsten; emplore you to seek peace not violence before doing something you'll end up regretting." Throsten said. "Like we're going to believe anything an ally of a pony says. Even if your an Eeveelution." Little Strongheart said. "Don't pick a fight you can't win." Throsten said, suddenly, he started to glow. "I don't want to do this young one." He added. "Why are you glowing?" One buffalo asked. "Doesn't matter. My tribe wants this land back. And it wants it back now." Little Strongheart said. "So, you are refusing to seek a compromise?" Throsten asked. "There's more of us then there are them." Little Strongheart said. "You think that scares me? You think I'm shaking in my paws because of that? Your nothing. Your numbers are less then nothing to the concept of true bravery." Throsten said before suddenly something flashed on him in a blink-and-you-miss-it moment. "Wait...stand down..." Little Strongeheart told her buffalo tribe. "What the...?" Twilight was confused. "Honestly, I'm just as confused as you are..." Sunset said. "Has evil started to come to the Eeveelution kingdom once again?" Little Strongheart asked Throsten. "I already dealt with it. An Evil Shadow Flareon threated to rule the kingdoms with an iron paw, but I stopped his plans in their tracks, and as such, he tried to summon the spirits of some evil fire dragons which I also put I a stop to." Throsten said. "...Then...then you are the one..." Little Strongheart said before bowing to Throsten. "Forgive me, decendent of the hero." She added. "Wait, you know about the legend too?" Throsten asked. "We buffalo never forgot. Eeveelution hero saved our race from being slaughtered before he saved the kingdom itself." Little Strongheart said. "So when he told us that a descendent would help cleanse darkness from the Eeveelution kingdom should it arise once more, his words were passed down through each chief." She added. "I see. But this does not excuse anything you were trying to do. Surely, you could come to some sort of compromise before you start a war." Throsten said. "Here, maybe you'd like one Applossa's pies!" Serendipity said, suddenly popping up with a pie. "What the--SERENDIPITY, I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STAY BACK WITH THE GIRLS?!" Throsten exclaimed. "And miss the chance to try some of Applosssa's Apple Pies? You must be joking." Serendipity said. Throsten's eye just twitched. "Arceus, why do I bother sometimes with you?" Throsten asked. "Besides, these pies are lip-smacking good. And that's something I would never lie about." Serendipity said. "So try one." She said. "Well...I suppose one wouldn't hurt." Little Strongheart said before doing such. And she found that she loved it. "By the fates, that is the best gosh darn pie I've ever had in my life! Not even mother made such great pie!" Little Strongheart said. "Told you! And it's made from the applies the settlers grow." Serendipity said. "But...I had this one plan involving a dress..." Pinkie Pie said. "Trust me, that wouldn't have worked. This is better." Serendipity said. "...I hate to admit it, but you may be right." Pinkie Pie said. "If these ponies continue making good pie, and provide us with enough space to run around with, then we'll help them from real invaders." Little Strongheart said. "And then again, I am also reminded why you are the problem solver for each of my wives." Throsten said. "By the way, Gloria said to come and tell you that she thinks she'll be delivering soon." Serendipity said. "...MAKE WAY, FATHER TO BE COMING THROUGH!" Throsten shouted as he ran off. "Do you think Throsten's going to be okay being a daddy?" Pinkie Pie asked. "What kid wouldn't want Throsten as their daddy? No one would ever pick on the children of THE Eeveelution hero. Plus, he's like, a super dad now before he even has one child." Serendipity said. "Gotta go." She said before vanishing. "Don't worry Pinkie. I have a feeling Throsten's going to be just fine being a daddy." Fluttershy said. "Do you know something I don't Fluttershy?" Pinkie Pie asked. "I'll tell you later." Fluttershy said. "Besides, I doubt he's even remotely scared. He's going to be one of the greatest fathers ever." She said. "Oooooooo...yeah I'm sensing a doozy in regards to Throsten's linage. But I can't tell what." Pinkie Pie said. "Again? Must be something major then." Twilight said. "Wonder what could be so major?" Rainbow Dash asked. "WHOA! Hold the phone, I've got another doozy prediction. In regards to Throsten directly this time!" Pinkie Pie said. "What? Like what?" Twilight asked. "I don't know. But it's going to be epic looking whatever it is." Pinkie Pie said. "Seems the current hero's quest to stop darkness is not done yet." Little Strongheart said. "That's my best guess. Because I sense something evil stirring." She added. "So, Little Strongheart right? If you want, you can come up to Ponyville sometime. Ah'll make sure you and your tribe are welcome." Applejack said. "That's nice to know." Little Strongheart said.
