//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: Search Party and Wish Granted // Story: Big Nate: New Life and New Fears // by Big Imagination E //------------------------------// Back in Nate's hometown there was a boy looking all around. Reason why is he too was trying to find Nate. His name is Artur. Now Artur is a male exchange student from the Republic of Belarus and one of Nate's all-time frenemies until Nate became friends with him. He is a member of Enslave the Mollusk, the Timber Scouts, the chess club and the Doodlers. Artur is said to be very intelligent. Nate was definitely annoyed with the fact that Jenny likes Artur instead of him and Artur's ability to defeat Nate at chess, taking away his title of number one player on the Chess Club. Anyways he kept looking for Nate but so far he can't find him. "Oh where is he? I hadn't seen him in a long while. I hope he's ok." Artur hoped. He kept on trying to find Nate and looked everywhere. He searched high and he searched low. He looked everywhere. But he can't get one sight of him. Then after a few hours he reached Nate's house. Maybe he was home. Artur wanted to believe that he was so he went to the house and knocked on the door. When it opened it revealed a man with a small beard and wearing a red shirt. He was Martin Wright and commonly known to his children as "Dad",he is the absent-minded, albeit well-meaning father of Nate and Ellen Wright. He is also known to be a non-skilled golfer, and uses Nate as his caddy, often requesting him to fish out his played golf-balls, occasionally the club as well, and from the course's ponds frequently embarrassing them both in front of other people. He saw Artur and smiled a little. "Oh hey Artur. How's it going?" Martin asked. "Not good. I'm looking for friend Nate. No one has seen him for a while. Do you know where Nate is?" Artur answered. "Sorry Artur. I haven't seen him for two weeks now. He hasn't come home and I'm starting to get worried about him." Martin replied. "Well I say we let the twerp be missing. Because now he won't be messing up my dates anymore." A female voice said. Coming down the stairs was a teenage girl wearing a magenta shirt and has blonde hair in a ponytail. This was Nate's sister Ellen. Now Ellen can be known as self-absorbed, and obnoxious, though only Nate seems to think she is obnoxious. She is surprisingly mature and obedient for her age, although she is annoying to Nate. This, however, is not always the case. In the later years through their life, the two seemingly get along fine with each other and are hardly seen arguing with each other. She is also a good student, admired by several teachers at P.S. 38. Apparently she really enjoys karaoke. Still, she dislikes anyone outside her comfort zone. Martin frowned at what she said and gave her an angry look. "Ellen. I thought I said not to disrespect your brother like that. He's missing and we need to find him. Now quit being self absorbed and let's go. Artur you are more than welcome to join the search." Martin offered. "I do wanna find him. I'm coming too." Artur said with confidence. "Got room for one room?" A voice asked. Everyone turned and saw a car pull up and parked in front of the walkway on the road and out came as the brother of Martin: Theodore Wright or Uncle Ted. Now Ted is overweight and seems unconcerned about hygiene. He also has a very unicorn-like haircut, and he wears very messy clothes. When Martin saw him we was a bit surprised. "Ted? What are you doing here? Don't tell me your wanting another lottery ticket?" Martin said annoyed. "No not this time. I saw the news that Nate was missing and I thought that maybe I should help you find him." Ted replied. "What a surprise! We are also trying to find friend Nate. If you wanna help then the more the merrier as they say. Welcome to the team Theodore." Artur smiled. "Oh you can call me Ted. Now Marty. Let's go find Nate!" Ted suggested. Martin nodded and everyone headed off to find Nate. They started looking at P.S 38 to begin but in each classroom they looked Nate wasn't there. And for that matter Principal Nichols hasn't seen him. Then they tried looking at the bookstore where Nate went one time when trying to cheer Ellen up after a devastating breakup but he's not there. Next was each of his friends houses where they loved to hang out. But the parents didn't see him or their kids either. So far they were not having any luck finding him. They continued looking for Nate but after a couple of hours the sky started setting and everyone was tired and had to sit down on the curb. "This is hopeless. We looked everywhere for Nate. But he's not anywhere to be found. Maybe he disappeared and never returned." Artur worried. "Well that settles it. I'm going home. I have a date to plan." Ellen said bluntly. But before she could leave Martin grabbed her by the collar and made her sit down. "You are not going anywhere! You're staying right here til we find Nate whether you like it or not. Stop the whining and I don't wanna hear anymore complaining from you missy. Do you understand?" Martin stated. Ellen looked at him nervously and answered. "Yes dad." "Alright. Now I don't wanna hear another complaint out of you. Back on the subject. How are we gonna find Nate?" Martin asked. "I wish I knew. If only there was someone out there who knows where Nate is and we can go there to find him." Artur wished. "Well your in luck cause I can certainly make that wish come true." A voice said. Everyone was a little surprised hearing that. Then suddenly they all saw Discord appear and Ellen screamed seeing him. But Discord used his magic to literally zip her lips shut. "Man I would not wanna keep hearing her scream." Discord said. "Who are you? And what kind of creature are you?" Martin asked. "Oh that's right. We haven't met. I'm Discord the mischievous spirit chaos and disharmony. And for your information this creature is a male draconequus." He introduced. "Well what are you doing here? And how did you know about my wish?" Artur asked. "Easy Artur. I overheard you saying that you wanted to find Nate Wright. Well I can tell you this. He's in Equestria with his friends and the Main Six." Discord answered. "How did you know my name? And are you sure that Nate is there?" Artur asked. "Of course he is! And I'm A chaos god. I know many things Artur. But enough about that. Do you wish to see Nate again?" Discord asked. "Yes Discord. Please take us to Equestria and let us reunite with Nate." Ted answered. "As you wish." Discord replied. So Discord snapped his fingers and transported everyone to Equestria. Soon after they arrived like Nate and his friends they too have taken different forms. When they woke up they saw themselves as anthro ponies. Martin was a red unicorn with a tail but no mane. Ellen was a magenta unicorn with the same blonde hair style. Ted and Artur became pegasi. Ted was a light brown pegasus and Artur was a dark yellow pegasus. Now everyone was a little surprised seeing their new forms and Ellen screamed again. Discord made a huge hammer and hit her in the head shutting her up. "Ugh. She's gonna give everyone a headache if she doesn't stop." Discord said annoyed. "What happened to us? Why are we ponies?" Martin asked. "Well your all in a different world so it only makes sense that you all take a form to blend in. But no worries. You'll get used to it. Now lemme take you to Nate." Discord said. So Discord led everyone to Canterlot where Nate should be. Martin and the rest of the crew can only hope that Nate is still there. Meanwhile in the Frozen North Castle we see King Sombra looking at the different memories of Nate and his friends while Gina and Godfrey were trying to think of an evil plan for Sombra to take over Equestria. "So these are the times Nate tried making middle school awesome huh? Quite a thinker and troublemaker at the same time. But also managed to learn from his mistakes. Though it is proven to be quite bad if he's with the Main Six." King Sombra said. "Then we need to do separate him from those ponies. Once we do that then he won't have backup." Godfrey stated. "Yeah. But has anyone seen Randy? He's been gone for a while." Gina wondered. "Oh I know where he is. Look." King Sombra said as they all looked in the crystal ball seeing Randy with the Main Six and getting along with Pinkie. "So he choose to side with Nate did he? Well I should have expected that he lied to me and turned his back on the king." "Ugh! Guess that leaves only the three of us to deal with Nate. But lucky for us I managed to come up with a plan to take Equestria. Me and Godfrey will kidnap the ponies and maybe a few other crushes they have and threatened them to surrender if they wish to see them again. Then King Sombra? You can do whatever and whenever you want to this pathetic Ponyville." Gina explained. "Hmm. That's actually not a bad idea. With them out of the way Nate and his cronies won't be much of a problem and I will rule all of Equestria!! And I think there's room for a queen. Would you be interested Godfrey?" King Sombra offered. "Well. I never thought about being a queen. But after we dispose Nate Wright I'm willing to take the offer. So yeah I accept." Godfrey said. They shook hands and King Sombra smirked. "Good. I think you'll make a good queen. And since we all have enemies to defeat together they won't stand a chance!" King Sombra shouted as he looked in the crystal ball. While watching from the crystal ball he saw some memories of Nate and his friends developing crushes on Jenny and the Main Six. And after when Sombra finished watching the memories of Nate trying to win Jenny's heart he smirked and came up with an idea. "So Nate and his friends have feelings for them do they? Well I think we should pay them a visit and see them in the flesh." Sombra smirked evily. So the trio left the castle and headed straight to Canterlot. Since Sombra was a shadow king his turned into a shadow cloud and summoned two claws to carry them through the sky and make their way to the castle. The villains have something bad planned for the heroes. What can Nate and his friends do to stop them? Will they save the Main Six from Sombra and what will Brad Gunter do to help them get ready for the final battle? Only time will tell.
