EIOSES Saga
Chapter 34: Ken, Taken!
Amazing how time goes by, seemed like yesterday the two twined saiyan human hybrids were enjoying hearths warming eve and Lyra's best attempt at making a Christmas. They were amazed on how Lyra even got a tree in the house, unknowingly to them Lyra knew of this particular holiday thanks to her dreams of humans she had before little Ken and Kira came into her life. They had some presents, like new toys to play with which they were grateful, some more clothes with tail places, or markings in case Ken's ever grew back.
Now it was months later, Ken and Kira didn't participate in the Winter Wrap up because one; it was work, and two; it was really cold still. Now, it was spring, around mid-late March, and summer break was beginning to draw near in a month or two. For now, school had ended for the week, and the little saiyan hybrids were playing about.
Our twin heroes, along with their three pony friends, the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Were playing tag in the park, chasing each other down and yelling "Tag your it!" continuously, currently Ken was it.
"I'll get you!" Ken yelled playfully, he looked around trying to spot his friends, or sister.
He spotted them over the hill, and gave chase. The group spotted him running towards them and screamed in joy, scattering about trying to avoid his hands.
Ken closed in on his sister, and attempted to tag her, only to see an afterimage.
"Hey! Afterimage is cheating!" He pouted
"You never said anything about using it in the rules!" Kira countered in the distance, she ran away from her brother giggling with joy, her tail wagging about.
Kira noticed a red ribbon, around a building corner, he grinned and said. "Here I come Applebloom!"
He gave chase, running back up the hill and turning, entering the corner of the building, only to suddenly be surprised by a large golden net go over him.
"What the! Hey!" He yelled in surprise, still having a smile on his face at his friend's antics.
"Haha, very funny guys!" He said as he tried to get out of the net. Only to realize it was much stronger than he anticipated.
"Uh, guys? Sis?" He looked up only to see white coats, his eyes widening as he finally knew this wasn't his friends or sister. His efforts to get out of the net increased.
"Tch, no, we wouldn't want that." The white thing, or whatever it is said, and a magical aura spread through the net, Ken suddenly begin to feel sleepy. Knowing this Ken continue to fight, he started to pump Ki into his muscles to keep them awake, but slowly they were falling asleep on him.
Then he called for aid. 'Kira, sis! Help!' Hopefully, his twin sister was nearby.
'What's wrong Ken?!' He heard her ask him concernedly.
'This bad guy caught me in some sort of magic net! I can't get out and it's starting to make me sleepy!' He mentally told her, he then felt his Ki start calming down, which was bad because if it did his sister wouldn't be able to sense him!
'Where are you? I can't sense you anymore!' She called to him.
Ken's vision started to become blurry, his eyelids started to drop. Why is this affecting him so much, he was stronger than this! He fought against the tiredness, calling to his sister again.
'Kira, I'm next to a... Uh, blue building, nearby where you after-imaged!' And after he said this, sleep claimed him, his Ki hidden and the unicorn teleporting the both away.
Kira felt her brother's Ki signature vanish, and right when she reached his location she saw a unicorn teleport him away.
"Ken!" She yelled, her hand stretched out toward where he was. She ran to where Ken was, looking around frantically.
"Ken! Ken!" She called out to him. Her Ki aura burst into existence flying her into the air. Kira scanned the town looking for her brother, calling out his name in worry.
'Ken, where are you!' Kira telepathically messaged, but no response came.
"Kira!" A voice called out to her, but not Ken's.
"Mommy!" She flew down toward Lyra, and embraced her in a hug. "Mom! They took Ken away!" She cried out.
"What? Who took Ken!?" Lyra exclaimed, her voice teething with anger and concern.
"The bad white coat unicorn! He trapped Ken in a net and, and... I don't know where he took Ken!" Kira hiccuped, tears still flowing down her cheek, she continued to say. "I tried to get there to help Ken, but the bad guy teleported using magic! I was so slow!" She then hiccuped again.
"Shh, Kira, it wasn't your fault. We'll find Ken and bring him back." Lyra calmed down, and reassured Kira. But Kira still continued crying.
"Kira, Kira look at me." Kira looked back up from the ground. "It wasn't your fault dear, it was that bad unicorn's fault. We'll get Ken back okay?" Lyra said.
"Okay... " The little girl said in a near-whisper, she wiped her tears and stood up. New confidence filled her as a new resolve came in her mind.
"We'll find Ken and bring him back! He protected me, and now it's my turn to protect him!" She shouted with courage and confidence.
"Alright, but we need help. We can't do this alone... " Suddenly her ears popped up. "That's it! Ms. Sparkle will help us!"
Following her adoptive mother, Kira soon arrived at the Tree library, where Twilight Sparkle and her assistant Spike resided in. The two entered the library to be greeted by the purple unicorn, but Lyra instantly started to tell her about the recent events that just transpired.
"I thought something was wrong when those wolves appeared in Ponyville!" The purple unicorn exclaimed, she turned to our young heroine with a caring face.
"Don't worry Kira, we'll get your brother back." Twilight then did a complete one-eighty, turning to Spike.
"Spike, take a letter!" She requested of her assistant.
"Yeah, sure!" The young dragon instantaneously whipped up a quill and scroll.
"Dear Princess Celestia, something horrible has happened! The human child Ken-"
"Uh, how you spell human?" Spike interrupted.
"H-u-m-a-n." Spike wrote it down as she said.
Twilight cleared her throat and continued. "The human child Ken was kidnapped earlier today by a unicorn pony with a red fur-coat wearing a white-lab coat, I believe this is related to the earlier season of winter's Bull Winter Wolf attack..."
Inside Canterlot, approximately twenty minutes later...
"Yours sincerely, faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."
The white Alicorn, goddess of the sun, raised her head from finishing the letter. Celestia looked toward her lunar sister, Luna. Who was having a mix of emotions which concluded of shock, anger, sadness, and concern.
"Someone has grown to like those kids I see." Celestia said, taking notice of Luna's emotional stance.
"They... Remind me of times before the Nightmare." Luna replied.
Celestia nodded, before turning to a serious tone. "We have to rescue Ken Heartstrings, he's done so much for us, and so much for Equestria already. And we don't know who this enemy is, but I figure them to be an evil scientist."
"If that's the case, should we bring along the Elements?" The moon princess questioned.
"Yes, I think that is best. I feel we might need them. Come, let us go."
The two Alicorns then made their way toward the storage holding the Elements of Harmony, on the way Princess Celestia began writing a reply letter.
