OK until stated otherwise I still need an editor for my story also may have pairing up of Cole and a pony I don't know yet. 

(Cole's PoV)
I was walking away from the party because I didn't want to be asked a million questions maybe later I'll answer them but not now. I went into the woods were I fought that bat-lion-scorpion thing, But when I got their I sensed that there was and I found this odd a conduit in the area. I went to see what was up and after a pretty far distance into the woods I saw a hut. The conduit was inside the hut me wanting to see who it is I went to the hut door and knocked. I heard 2 voices one I recognized immediately from Empire City his name is Alden Tate. The other I didn't recognize I waited for the door to open hoping that the pony I see is just sounding like Alden not really him.
When the door opened I was confronted by an old Unicorn wearing an old green trench coat and having scaring across his face. My conduit sense told me that this was the conduit that I detected earlier. Me not wanting to give away that I knew him said, “Hello I’m sorry if am being a bother but I’m lost and I was wondering if you could help me find the nearest town.”
The pony (who I’m calling Alden until further notice) said, “Ho it’s no trouble at all sir come follow me.”  Alden turned his head and said, “Zecora I’ll be back soon.”  Alden proceed to go west as he went down the and into the woods, he motioned me to follow so I did. We walked in silence. I wanted to get rid of the silence tried to start some conversation.
I said, “My names Shock what is yours?”
Alden replied, “My name is Alden Tate, but you can call me Alden.”
I said, “Ok Alden where are we going?”  I now know that he was who I thought he was. 
Alden answered, “We are going to Ponyville it isn't too far from here.”
I nodded in acknowledgment. When we got to Ponyville we were greeted with Twilight and her friends.

Twilight said, “Cole why did you leave the party.” 
I mentally face palmed because of what Twilight said.
Alden looking more displeased said, “Twilight did you say Cole as in Cole MacGrath?”
Twilight replied, “Yes why do you ask?”

Alden turned to me and said, “You lied to me and said your name said Shock. But really you are the one with and Kessler who ruined my life back at Empire City. But you’re not going to do that here!  Now Cole you will die.” Alden’s horn started to glow as he used his powers to make all the Junk in the area start to fly around him and it turned into a giant armored war suite.

Twilight was confused and said to me, “Um Cole What is Alden so mad about?”
I replied, “I’ll explain later, right now go and get everypony out of here and only when I give the signal come back, now go.”
