Chapter 5: Pony Training with Nate

Back with the gang in Ponyville we see Nate and his friends with the Main Six at an empty field where they will begin their training on mastering their skills as earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi.

"Okay guys. Since you're going to be staying here in Equestria we need to get you situated with the talents that we ponies possess. So we'll start with Nate, Francis and Jenny practicing your unicorn magic." Twilight said.

"Ok Twilight. Cause I'm not sure how to control this unicorn magic." Nate admitted.

"Don't worry Nate. That's why were gonna help you train in this situation so you can get used to it." Twilight said has she got a few rocks and placed them on the ground. "Ok. Now tried and use your magic on these rocks."

So the three closed their eyes and Nate, Jenny and Francis were concentrating on a rock each that was on the grass. Twilight instructed them, "Focus, guys. Remember to levitate something you must put yourself into it. You become one with the rock and it becomes one with you."

They started to relax a little and Nate, Jenny and Francis continued to concentrate, until their horns started glowing with a magical aura. Jenny's magical aura was purple like, Nate's was a yellowy-orange like and Francis's was a green aura. Suddenly the rocks they were focusing on became enveloped within their magical auras and were slowly lifting off the grass. Twilight watched feeling impressed, "That's it, guys. All right. Now try and move them closer to you."

The three concentrated, and started levitating the rocks away from the grass and in their direction slowly. The rocks were about half way to them, before their magical auras vanished and fell to the floor with a thud, "Oh man, and they were almost close to us." Nate said in frustration.

"It's okay. You did good. Just keep at it and you'll get better." Twilight encouraged.

"Okay. I'll try again. And I will see not to let the magic control me. I'll become one with the magic." Nate said as he close his eyes.

"Me too. I'll be one with the magic." Jenny added.

"Me three. Be one with the magic." Francis finished.

Then once all three closed their eyes and their horns engulfed in their magic auras and the rocks begin coming in their direction once more. Then they all raised their hands in the air and the rocks followed it. Then finally they did a few moves while using their magic to send the rocks in the directions they want to go. After 30 minutes they gently placed the rocks down and took a deep breath and opened their eyes seeing Twilight so impressed.

"Well done you three. You mastered the talent of using unicorn magic. Now let's move on to earth ponies. Applejack?" Twilight instructed.

"Gotcha Twi. Now Dee Dee. Lemme show you how to use your earth pony strength." Applejack replied as she went to an apple tree. "You just lift your legs up, and give it a good ol' buck!" the tow bucked the trees and falling into several baskets were all the apples in the trees.

"Wow. That is cool." Dee Dee gasped.

"Now you give it a try." Applejack insisted.

Dee Dee went up to a tree and did exactly what she did, but only a few apples fell from the tree and landed in a basket, "Not bad, but next time put a little more force into it." A.J suggested.

"Ok, here it goes nothing." Dee Dee did another try with adding more force in his buck, and suddenly the rest of the apples fell from the tree and into the basket.

"Now that's more like it!" Applejack smiled.

"Whoa! I didn't know that I can do that! Lemme try that again!" Dee Dee said happy.

She went to a few more apple trees and bucked them so hard that all the apples fell down. And each one she kicked she yelled too. Then Applejack laughed a little and got Dee Dee to calm down.

"Ok Dee Dee. You got the training down. Now all that's left his getting Teddy and Chad used to flying in the air. Rainbow?" Applejack asked.

"On it! Alright you two. Ready to fly to the sky?" Rainbow asked them.

"We sure are! But are you sure you know what you're doing in the sky?" Chad asked.

"Of course. Now spread your wings and follow me in the air." Rainbow instructed.

Teddy and Chad spread their wings and waited for Rainbow to give the signal. Once she flew in the air the two took off and followed her. As the hours progressed, the guys continued to practice with the girls. Nate, Jenny and Francis were getting better and better at using their unicorn magic, preferably the levitation spell. Dee Dee was doing all sorts of work with the Applejack, and was currently pulling a plow through a field at her farm. Rainbow had started teaching Teddy and q some impressive aerial stunts in the sky, just in case they were to run into any obstacles while in mid air. Then they all regrouped and everyone was fully prepared now.

"Oh yes! Nate's got magic and ready to show them that it's awesome!" Nate replied.

"Ok Nate don't get ahead of yourself. Besides everyone here did amazing too." Rainbow reminded him.

"Sorry. I'm just so excited to finally master this unicorn magic and use it for the greater good." Nate said.

"It's ok." Twilight smiled. Then suddenly they saw Spike coming towards the group carrying a message.

"Twilight! It's from Princess Celestia!" Spike replied.

She took the message from Spike hand and opened it to see what it says.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

I heard that you are training some new ponies here and are helping them get situated with our town. Well you certainly couldn't been more perfect. We received word from a pegasus named Brad Gunter that we should meet them and see if they're ready to help us stop an ancient evil that is lurking in Equestria. Please come to Canterlot at once.

Your mentor Princess Celestia.

"Ok everyone! Were heading to Canterlot at once! Cause someone named Brad Gunter informed them of Nate and his friends being here and are wanting to see if they are ready." Twilight instructed.

"Brad Gunter?! He must have been watching us train! Come on! Let's go to Canterlot! We got a threat to vanquish!!" Nate declared.

So everyone headed straight to the train station and made their way to Canterlot. However in the Frozen North in an eerie looking dark castle was the trio watching the group through a huge crystal ball. Sombra got interested seeing Nate and his friends.

"So this is Nate Wright huh? And I see he's with those six puny ponies." King Sombra said.

"Yes. The little troublemaker that caused so much trouble over the years. But once we catch him and his friends we'll show them real trouble and they will be all locked away in detention forever!!" Mrs Godfrey yelled.

Randy heard that and was really starting to have second thoughts. He needed to do something but that would mean that he needs to escape. So he schemed something in his head.

"Um Sombra? Can I go take a walk? I need to clear my head real quick." Randy lied.

"Alright. But don't be out for too long." King Sombra answered.

So Randy left the castle and ran fast as he could til he was far away from the place.

"Ok. You know what? I can't do this. I may be a bully to Nate but I should take responsibility for my actions. And I will not let Godfrey and Gina catch him and lock him up in detention forever. I gotta find him!" Randy said determined.

So he spread out his wings and flew straight in the sky in hopes of finding Nate. What is Randy planning on doing? And is he changing his ways?
