*Danyelle's POV*


I was wary of the stallion.

I ask "Who are you?"

The alicorn stallion had short black mane, tail and facial hair, while wearing a red headband, white karate pants with a his black belt that has white outlines white wraps all over his barrel, brown martial art gloves on his front hooves, a large single torn reddish brown tarp-like cloth on the left shoulder which reaches through his right waist and the cloth itself was adorned with a large gold ring to keep themselves attached, with tarp-like cloth actually being a kasaya. He was simply training alone, slowly, on his hind legs, as he stretched out his left back leg in a kick position without struggle. He then did an upper punch with his front left hoof, with cherry blossom leaves swirling around it, as if dancing along, before he did a roundhouse kick with his back right leg as the leaves flowed with the kick before he was then standing firm while the cherry blossom moved around him calmly. He readied himself as the cherry blossom flowed past us, while we were speechless as what we were witnessing. We noticed a line cherry blossom leave dancing in the air, around and towards the stallion as he seemed to prepare to unleash an uppercut with his front with hoof before he unleashed the attack, which pushed the leaf upward with the wind of the strike. He then leapt into the air with a spin as cherry blossom energy spiraled upward around him as we saw the sole leaf become engulfed in the energy, taking the form of a cherry blossom-pink Japanese dragon made of energy that roared as it flew higher before dissipating into many cherry blossom leaves, along with the single leaf guiding them. It was like poetry in motion that left us completely speechless and in awe as the alicorn landed on his hind hooves. The alicorn turned around, noticing us as he then faced us.

The stallion asks "Hmm? Can I help you?"

I spoke "We cats of the Alicorn Alliance are looking for an earth pony that's been causing trouble."

Therron nearly fell over at that. “That’s not what I said or meant at all.”

Spitfire spoke "Therron, shut up."

Rebecca spoke "Please teach me."

That left us surprised at what Rebecca said to the alicorn.

I flinch in pain since I had gone into labor.

Emerald spoke "Oh boy…"

I was rushed to the hospital.

Haru spoke "Talk about bad timing."


*Lune’s POV*


“Agreed.” I nodded.

Haru spoke "Just what was Spitfire thinking? Bringing a cat that was so close to her due date to Neighpon was a rather crappy idea."

Spitfire spoke "For Faust's sake, don't pin this on me hairball!"

Haru spoke "Don't make me call Azure."

That immediately shuts Spitfire up.

The stallion spoke "Sorry, I don’t take students. Even if I was a good teacher, my journey doesn’t afford me much training time. That said… Something tells me you’re not the type to take no for an answer."

Rebecca giggles "Heehee! You’re right, I’m not."

The stallion spoke "So go on. Let your fists do the talking."

Rebecca spoke "*Smirk as she readies for battle* Sure thing."

Spitfire spoke "As part of the Alicorn Alliance, I will oversee this fight so that nocreature is injured."

“Outside of the fight, right?” I checked.

Spitfire spoke "Exactly."

“Just checking.” I said.

Haru spoke "But right now, Danyelle's at her weakest since she's alone and in labor... I fear she could be thrown into the TM!"

Emerald spoke "Wait, but Hidzume’s in prison with Barak and Zombire, none of them seem to be doing anything about it."

Haru spoke "Still, Danyelle can't fight back."

“Ben’s probably on his way to her already.” I noted.

Haru spoke "About that... He's back in Ponyville."

I couldn’t help but facepalm at that before Emerald’s compact rang.

Haru spoke "I bet that's him now."

Emerald answered it as a voice asked through it, “Where’s Dany?”

Yep, it was Ben.

Haru spoke "She was admitted to the hospital not long ago since she had gone into labor."

Ben asks "At Ineighba?"

Haru spoke "Hai, Rising Sun-hime is with her."

Ben spoke "I’m on my way!"

The call ended.

Haru facepalms.

Haru giggles "How is that baka going to get here? Rainbow-chan and the rest of the Alicorns of Harmony are off dealing with a friendship mission."

“Run all the way here? Take a lot of rides? Or one of the Draconequi just snapping him here?” I guessed while Rebecca and the alicorn stallion were battling.

Haru spoke "I just realized something... Ben isn't immortal..."


*Meanwhile with the Alicorns of Harmony*

*Unnamed Town*

*Rarity's POV*


Starlight spoke "I knew I shouldn't have come here..."

“Is something wrong?” I asked in concern.

Starlight spoke "If Spottedleaf hadn't tracked me down, I would have stolen the cutie marks from the ponies here."

Sugar Belle spoke "Starlight, I already forgave you for what happened, I’m sure the others will too."

Applejack spoke "Uh Sugar, Starlight didn't get the chance ta rob the others of their cutie marks since Spottedleaf had intervened just after Sunburst had mentioned it."

Big Mac spoke "Eyup."

Sugar Belle spoke "I know, but still."

Twilight spoke "A lot of things played out differently ever since Spottedleaf was reincarnated."

Twilight notices an Abyssinian she-cat with pale ginger tabby fur and leaf-green eyes.

Twilight spoke "I'd better patch through to Leafstar..."

A loud pang was felt in Twilight's mind since two more SkyClan cats had ascended to alicornhood.

Rainbow asks "You felt that too Twilight?"

Twilight spoke "Yeah."

Spottedleaf spoke "Something tells me that it had been Leafstar's two grandkits."

Applejack spoke "Ah got a call from Applebloom, Flintfur's half alicorn now!"

Twilight gasps "What?!"

Haru spoke "*via compact* It came as a big shocker for us though Twilight-chan. And don't get me started on his cutie mark!"

Twilight asks "Huh?"

Applebloom spoke "*in background* Have a look!"

Applebloom held her compact with her magic as she showed the others and I what Flintfur looked like now, cutie mark and all.


I spoke "Goodness! I've never seen a cutie mark like that before."

“I don’t think any of us have.” Twilight added.

Applebloom spoke "*in background* It came as a rather big shocker for the Phantom Thieves, Crusaders and the Abyssinians. It was just before we sensed two more alicorns."

Emerald spoke "*In background* Huh? Seiko said we were more of an investigation team of Ineighba."

Applebloom spoke "*in background* Well you're gonna need a group name though so Phantom Thieves was the first thing I thought of."

But then we heard battling in the background.

Applebloom spoke "*in background* Don't mind the noise, Rebecca's just having a sparring session with Wild Strikes."

Twilight asks "Who?"

Haru spoke "*via compact* He's one of the new alicorns that my group had found."

Applejack asks "The one Therron talked about?"

Haru spoke "*via compact* Yeah."

Applejack spoke "Whoa."

Haru spoke "*via compact* Yeah and he's got a pet Fenrir too! A female at that."

Rainbow Dash asks "Wow! Really?"

Applebloom spoke "*in background* Yeah, but Wild considers her more than that. She’s like a companion."

Haru spoke "*via compact* Yeah plus Koa's embarrassed! Oh, he happens to be Danyelle's pet Fenrir."

Twilight asks "How?!?"

After the problem was solved, the Alicorns of Harmony and their spouses had headed back to Ponyville.
