Westernfields Twilights pov: In front of us stood five giant ghosts, a cruel shaman with strong dark magic, Two witches of the dark arts, behind us a shield with ponies and Buffalos and further behind us a town wich was to defend, and next to us our friends and our current teachers, breathing hard and short, from exhaustion. The poorest condition one can have in a fight, and to make matters worse, did we know like no real battle magic at all. “Listen Twillight, it´s important to hear the souls, you need to listen to them, feeling and understanding there pain, especially the ones of the Guardian spirit, each one of them has 1 different Guardian spirits inside of them, expect Gangyro, Gamble also has one, your task is to find them in the Babble of voices of the lost souls, its gonna be difficult but I am sure that you as an Alincorn will be able to get through to them Twillight Sparkle, you too Fluttershy, these ghost are now a mashup of souls , try to find the soulwaves with the strongest power, aura and the brightest heart, talk to them, try with them to find a way to communicate with them, they are souls of animals so its going to be rather easy to differ them from the souls of the damned and lost pony-souls!” Floraya said, as she began to rise up again, she took her sword of nature. “We going to distract them , while you search for them, when you find them think of the place and tell it over telekinese to Shockwave, he will tell us and so we can free them, got it?” She asked as we nodded , we crowded in a circle, while Floraya and her siblings gave us back up. “Alright girls, we have to help them, no matter what, we need to find a way to communicate with the Guardian spirits, in order to free them, the ghost gonna get a lot weaker without them but they still will be very strong, so be carefull, remember on what Jacky and Floraya have told us, move but concentrate, let the one side of your brain scanning your surroundings , while the other half is going to do the spells, got it, if yes , are you ready?” I asked. “Ah am not sure , sugarcube,I never tried that before but I will try mah best, I promise!” Applejack said. “I don´t really know how its going to help , but I am all in for it!” Pinkie said in her cheerish manner. “Well I will try as good as I can, I guess!” Rarity said. “Sure thing, lets free some good ghosts!” Rainbow Dash said enthusiasticly. “Yes lets do it!” Fluttershy said with the fire of friendship in her eyes. “Alright here we go!” Jacky shouted as the Fallen angels raced for attack, while we focused our mental force at the ghosts. “It is so loud, I can barely make out one single helpful thing!” Fluttershy whined. “By me too!” I said as I covered my ears. “Girls remember what Floraya said, not only the voice but also the aura and the power of it is important!” “Its easier when you are an alincorn, not!” Rainbow Dash said, grumbling as she tried both, to focus on the souls and to dodge the blows of Dyssidia, Venturios managed to throw her back, before getting hit by Goba, and crashing in a nearby rock, knocked out. “Venturios!” I saw how Rainbow dash raced over to him, forgetting her task. “Rainbow dash, we need you, concentrate on the ghost!” I yelled. “How can I concentrating, when my love is getting crunched by the opponent!” she shouted angrily back, after Arriving at her hurt coltfriend. “Get your flank back here, he is an Alincorn, he has gotten worser injuries, this is nothing!” I shouted back, and I could see that I went too far, I was just so angry that she forgot all of her mission, just because of her love, getting injured in a fight, hello he is an Fallen angel, he is a warrior, this do is nothing. “Ah and how do you think you know this, just because you are now since three Years an Alincorn, you think you know everything about them, well you are wrong , you know nothing about an Alincorn, you never have, you may have wings now, but you are just the same nerd you were when you still were an unicorn, you think everthing can be explained when you just read a book, well no, not all things, can be explained, you know nothing Twillight, not over Alincorns and especially not over Love, good they may be Immortal, but you have heard Jacky, Immortal doesn´t mean not Injureable!” Rainbow dash fired back, her eyes had the fire of big anger, and I knew she was right, I do have asked many question on either Luna, Cadence, or Princess Celestia, I even read books, but none of them could tell me , in three years by now, what exactly makes an Alincorn out, what for forces they have, why they are so strong and , how it comes that I simply had become an Alincorn by my mentors will. “Ahm Sorry, Rainbow dash , you are right!” I mumbled, I remembered at yesterday evening, as I by accident overheard Jacky and the others talking together about us, when most of us were asleep. Flashback: “I still can´t belive it, I mean why did Tia did this, she may be strong but instantly crowning her to a princess and making her an Alincorn, sorry but it just don´t get in my head, even when she isn´t a real one at all!” I heard Jacky saying as I was about to fall asleep. “Who, do you mean Twillight?” Derpy asked. “Yes, I mean, she is, strong, no question, but she isn´t ready for it, since three years now she lives like an Alincorn in the Palace of Canterlot and sometimes back in her Library, she has many books there, that for sure, but what has she learned, nothing, just the essentiel what Cadence or Luna teached her, nothing about the Duties of a Royal Alincorn , nothing about how to behave to fight or about practically anything, I bet with you she doesen´t even know how she became an Alincorn, I am sure that Celestia doesent even teached her on how to truly fight with the elements, she is strong, compared to an normal unicorn she is of course, since she is Twinlights Reincarnation but it isn´t enough for being an Alincorn, less a true princess, no wonder Tia did it behind our backs, the whole ceremony normaly can´t been maken when we don’t attend her, I really ask myself how Tia managed to get the spells, she didn´t wanted to wait I guess, but thanks to her we now have to teach them everything, I ask myself quite sometime now what they would say, if we tell them that they don´t even have the true Elements of Harmony yet, but only the Crests of Frienship and Unity, I bet in the Book twillight always has to hoof or hand, is only a fully edited version of Celestia to hide the truth, she can say from Luck , that the Crests of harmony, changes with every new Generation, but the Full Elements, they still don´t have yet!” I was shocked, our Elements of Harmony, aren`t what they are supposed to be. “I too can´t belive that Celestia let this out, I mean she let them totally in the dark about all of their true powers, is she fearing that Twillight may overcome her, does she really think that the same what has happened to Eclipse, will happen to her, even after she has practically almost raised Twillight!” Venturios asked, who in the world was Eclipse. “Possible, I mean it was after all, Eclipse`s younger Brother which was in the end her greatest foe, what had happened that time is something I don’t even wish most of my opponents, to get betrayed and to be forced to watch how an entire race is getting erased by the betrayer, your own Brother, your family, dishonored to the deepest of hell, what Gormaria has done to Eclipse was the worst I ever had heard about!” Floraya said, wait so Gormaria and this Eclipse were siblings, I was quite shocked, that such a cruel Pony even was allowed to have siblings. “You´re right, Floraya, and it doesent get better that it was Eclipse which had to kill Gormaria in the end, she gave him the last beat, after wards I heard that she did suicide, it were Celestia and Luna which found her , they managed to kinda save her but since that time, Celestia became much more fearfull of betrayment and rebellion against her, and as Luna, forced by Nightmares will, set the war of Sun and Moon in motion, Celestia saw everything which had happened to Eclipse happening to her now, but the thought of killing her sister was so wrong in every sense of the sentence that she simply send her to the moon, with a weakening spell, 977 years she resisted to go in any kind of deeper relationship with anypony beside Mortis, Discord´s awakening and the rampaging under Nestrells influence, from 25 years ago, was the drop wich brought the bottle to overflow, but then came Twillight, a cute little unicorn filly with a hunger for knowledge which you never has seen before, her magical font and force, the way she acted and danced when being extremly happy, reminded Celestia much on the times when lulu was little, she warmed up and with time this little filly, Twillight, managed to melt a good part of her frozen heart, but the Fear of Betrayal always was constant and possible, so she tried to held her as happy as she could be, so that she wouldn´t come on the thought of revolting and betraying her, she told them six that they have found the Elements of Harmony and that they have great magical power now, unknow to them she was always there by every fight, hidden in the shadows, watching and observing them , helping them when ever they seemed to being conquered, she made everything for them, she completely fixated herself more and more on them, until she practicaly was their hidden slave, while her Land began to slowly sink in chaos, if we werent there, or at least the Disciples of Babylon, then this Land would have been long sin. Even that time as she let Luna returning still under Nightmares weakened influence, it needed just a spell to seal the darkness temporarily away, so she was able to turn Luna back to herself, she then later showed up , for Twillight and her friends , out of Nowhere, she instantly spoke with Luna, after taking her with her back to the Castel, she instantly told her about her plan, on giving her protegée some extra Missions beside the friendship reports, so that they will become soon famous and that she wont come too quickly at the thought of revolting, beating her, conquering Canterlot and becoming the new princess of the land, so she let Luna creating an illusion of Discord, which they could defeat, later she told Cadence on creating an illusion of Sombra trying to taking back the power over the crystal empire, if Twillight would know that the Crystal empire is nothing but kind of another Illusion in this world, since it is the Mirror picture of Tartarus, and only created after what really has happened in the Iceland Valley in the Frozen North, and that the Crystal ponies, in real are the souls of dead ponies, im sure she would be shocked, she probably want to deny it, but its true, the crystals in the Empire, they work on every sense, Tia was so occupied with creating illusionary tasks for Twillight , that she didn´t even managed to watch, let alone to truly rule over what was happening in and outside of her land in reality, I mean or else she would have know this with Gamble, and the Massacres here in the Desert, since 30 years, or the sudden reinforcment of the Changelings, the rise of the Ice- Kingdom, the new race of Diamond wolfes, the Harvoc running of the Timberwolf, the Case on Lumen, all those cases in which dark forces had their handsinside, she simply ignored them, she completely forgot what it meant to be the Princess of the land, the savior and leader of Millions of Ponies. And now she made Twillight , again out of bloomed paranoia, to one of the Princesses of Equestria, so that she has all she ever would have asked for, without a need of revolution against the crown, serisously , when Eclipse would see this , she would cry bitter tears, that her own Little sister has gone paranoid and that the paranoia creates such high waves of insanity, I bet she would turn around in her Grave if she truly were dead, I mean , doesen´t she can try to give Celestia some piece of mind?” I saw how Jacky shaked his head in disbelief, but it didn´t bugged me, but I was shocked , more than everything. “Gormaria was Princess Celestia`s older Brother!” I wisphered in shock, I wished I didn’t heard this, really. “The Royal Family of Canterlot, is responsible for the death of an Entire Race and hundreds and thousands of ponies!” I whispered in pure disbelief. “Yeah, but don´t we losing the point, fact is , they know nothing about real fighting, they might were able to fight the Changelings because they were in a weaken state, but you saw on how they struggled with Iris, and this was even one of the easiest fights, what when we need to fight against the other Elements of Chaos, this will not be easy, that’s for sure, we cant always hold our powers back, we need to teach them in fighting with the Elements before they begin to always trust just on the magic of Friendship, they need to learn the true powers, it doesn´t matter what Celestia thinks, they are coming with us, in the most dangerous places, and we don´t have much time anymore, good thing is that we use since last week only 5 % of our power, or else we would ran out of time way too quick, if what Esteel is saying is right, then we will have much more difficult fights, down in Equuigea (Pangea) in wich we do could need there support, but in the current state the best option for them is to go back home and to give the task of becoming the Mystic Knights of Equine-Torog , that’s for sure. We cant always watch over them, if I am right , and I think we can agrre, I am, will such an army like the Twins are building up right now, be even stronger the closer we come to Nestrells prison, till now they only will make us running out of time, but the closer we come, the more they will try to completely stop us, or even to kill the girls!” Venturios said, and I was shocked. “Yes I mean no one wants them on the dark side or dead and used as a death-marionette, or can you imagine to kill one of them if they get infected and driven to the dark side?” Derpy asked. “No, I can´t imagine to do one single Harm at Rainbow dash, she may be strong in her own measurement but she is still so fragile, and what would it be for a pain for you Floraya, just imagine if Fluttershy would getting brainwashed and joins the dark side?” Venturis said. “I would rather kill myself than injuring Fluttershy, when I am by all my senses!” Floraya said derterminded. “So its set then, since we have no real time to train them in a proper and safe way, we have to go with it for now, best experience is still field experience anyways, but we for sure must teach them the different forces, regardless of what Celestia says, they have a right to know what and who they really are, even Twillight, she needs to see that an alincorn isn´t just someone with wings and horn but a person with the will to sacrifice the own life for saving a thousand others, a pony who use its power to protect others, to be there for them in good as in bad times, an Alincorn is a pony on wich other ponies always can count, a mighty warrior in the name of Justice, not just an attraction or somepony you can call princess, or a pony everpony should know, we will show them how they truly become like the Disciples of Babylon, the best trained and strongest warriors of Equestria, only receiving orders from us and only subordinated under us, they have the full power of a King, from Earth pony over Pegasus to unicorn, even two Tarakena Guards, the strongest stallions and mares, The current leaders of the eight Clans of the Crimson Saber Order and Junglebeat!” Jacky said and the others nodded. “The first force to teach them is the Shaman force, for this they need to go through the same as Fluttershy had gone , and they need to get their Animal spirits, like Fluttershy has Gingorias, a Guardian spirirt which is able to fully protect them , if they become them , even we will be able to finally gear up our powers from 5% to 25%, I tell you Westernfield will never be what it once was, but for the moment we stay in 5 %, until they have their Guardian spirit, when we have them we use our force instantly to 25 % , faking like we are about to giving in, that will take Gamble and Miasmaria and Miastaria by surprise, its time to go hunting for witches, let´s pull a good act okay!” Jacky said as he chuckled a bit. “That for sure, well then , on some good hardcore training, Cheers!” Venturios laughed. “On a good glass of fresh Alcohol free Cider!” Derpy laughed . “So Lumena , how is it to be soon mother of four Kids!” Floraya asked with a chuckle, I began to tone out the voices to get some good long thinking about the heard. So what we are using are only the Crest of friendship, okay that can be , in the books has never been an explicit graphic of the Elements of Harmony, no one knows how the old elements have been looking, and according to the heard, there must be more than one Level of the true Elements of Harmony, the next force to learn is the Shaman force. Flashback end: I don’t want to dissapoint them, so we have to go through this new torture. “C´mon Rainbow dash, Venturios wouldn´t have you to leave you friends on their own, we need you, I beg you Rainbow dash!” I shouted. “Okay im coming over, Venturios is okay, but we have to hurry, their force is about to run out!” Rainbow dash shouted, but I knew better. “Not their Energy but their life force and their strenght to held back their laughter, the Clock is ticking without mercy!” I murmured. “Alright I think I have something, is one of them by Chance I giant Bull?” Applejack asked, I asked Chief Great Chariot over telekinese. “This is , Yugorius, the steel-Bull, a very strong Guardian spirit!” I said as I received the answer from the Chief. “Like he were made for me then!” Applejack exclaimed. “Now how do we get him out, and what are we even going to do if we get him out, I mean won´t they going to get instantly sucked back inside the ghost?” Applejack asked. “Pull the act, you have to play along with Jacky and the others!” I thought to myself. “We have to somehow bind them on us, making them our Guardian Spirits, since we have no other shaman, or even a shaman of their former follk for that!” I said and she nodded. “Alright, jacky , there is a Bull Spirit next to Dyssidia´s Eye!” Applejack shouted. “Roger!” Jacky said as he jumped up to a giant Dyssidia wich tried to grasp him to put him in her mouth. “Fuck you, i´m no food!” Jacky said as he doged the grasp, since they are so huge, their motion have slowed a bit down but were now even stroger and powerfuller than before. “Come to me!” Dyssidia said. “Nuh huh!” Jacky made, as he suddenly transformed in his giant-form. “Give it to me!” he said as he ripped her eye out. “AAAAAAAARRGGGGGHHH!” Dyssidia let out a giant scream and fell backwards, after the eye left her head. “How did that taste Bitch!” Jacky laughed as he tranformed back to his tiny form, dropping the eye right infront of Applejack. “Woah be carefull, you can kill someone with this thing!” She shouted. “Can not, since it’s a giant ghost eye after all!” Jacky fired back. “Sigh , yeah you´re right , why do I even care to argue!” Applejack facehoofed. “So and now what am I doing now!” Applejack asked, I wanted to answer, but Fluttershy flew over to her. “You need to find the Spirit!”she said as they searched. “Here, I have it!” Applejack said as she pointed on a particular place. “I can see him, wait , okay, oh my he is injured , that must have happened when those evil witches took you out of your shaman, oh you poor , come here , Fluttershy will make it go away, you know I have there a friend wich would love to get to know you!” Fluttershy soothed , like it seemed, the spirit, though I couldn´t see a thing from here, I was anyways too occupied with concentrating on the aura of the Guardian Spirits, but it just wouldn´t work, I have so much questions in my mind right now. “This here is Applejack, and she comes from a farm , she is very strong you know, and a really hardworking mare, she can buck an appletree so that the apples will fall by one singel hit, she is always honest, and she loves to sing from time to time!”Flutershy said, she wanted to go further with the praise, but... “ Honestly I am most thankfull of all this praise, Fluttershy, but arent we missing something, I mean I still need to somehow becoming his shaman , or else he will be soon back as a part of Dyssidia´s armor!” Applejack said. “Oh okay I will try my best, dear mr. bull , I know , we have not much time for introducing, or for any kind of ritual , but like you well know, we have here some problems, and you are one of it, the power you unwilling by given to Dyssidia, is still strong, you may be only what is left of your former self, and your force may be in this Gamble pony, but I can assure you that Appleack will not harm you, she will take you in and give you new force , I hope you would accept, but even when you want to test her , please do it quickly , we have not much time!” Fluttershy said. “He accept the offer, but want he to quick test you!” Fluttershy said to Applejack. “Just do what is necessary!” Applejack said, sighing and shrugging it off. Suddenly a bull climbed out of Dyssidias eye, and trotted to Applejack. Applejack´s Pov: “My Name is Yugorias, and I am the Guardian spirit of the Okul Hamen Ikiri, the Folk of the Mountain, up here in Equiis, I feel a strong power coming from you, but also something other, I feel the heart of my old Friend , Lord Gaia , the Element of Stone, do you stand in any relationship to him, I want an honest answer!” The Thundering Voice of the bull sounded. “I am his Granddaughter, from his marriage, with my Grandmother, Anabelle Applepie Smith-Apple, I am Applejack Apple-Earthhammer, Grand-Niece of Shockwave , Lumena, Venturios and Floraya, daughter of Jonas Gold Apple-Earthhammer and Pink Ladisa Oakshield!” I said , and he could here the Truth and the force with that i said it. “Correct , you proved to me that you are worth to be Guarded and defended by me, since I give your granbfather a promise , I promised him that whenever one of his Children needs help, and meets me, that I will help him or her, and I amk not going to break that promise, so here we go, prepare yourself, do you have something that I could use as a medium, something what is holy to you?” The bull asked me. “My greatest and holiest treasure, is this Hat, the Stetson of my Father, he said he had him from his father, so that means it’s the one from Gaia, and no one touches it as long as I don’t want!” I said with determination “That will do it I think, well then , Dear miss Applejack, grand daughter of Gaia, do you allow me to use your Head as a Medium for myself!” The Bull asked me and bowed infront of me. I put my hand on its head. “Yes, I allow it to you, do it, become my Guardian spirit so that I can make my Grandfather proud!” I said, it was my wish since I know that Lord Gaia was my Grandfather, I wanted to show him that I am a respectable and strong mare, and not a fragile snappy porcelane doll, just because I am his grand-daughter. “Then its set , here we go!” And so Yugorias combined his force with my Stetson hat, it felt funny, like a comfortable little breece on my head , after a day in the burning desert sun. “Wow I was right, you sure are powerfull, I feel how my wounds are healing and how my force begins to come back!” Yugorias said. “Told you, I am the Granddaughter of one of the strongest stallions in Equuis!” I chuckled. Alright, lets kick some ass. “Hey I think I have also found two, its seems to be an Aligator and a Kangaroo , oh gosh wich one should I take, I mean the Aligator does remind me of Gummy while I really would like to see what it is to sit in a Kangaroos body bag!” Pinkie whined. “Well if that is so , just take the Kangaroo and Twillight will take the Aligator!” I said to her, looking at Twillight who shrugged. “Yeah why not, so Spike has a scaled friends beside of Dragan!” Twillight said, not seeing a point in big arguing of wich of us takes wich Guardian spirit. “Right so , so lets go on!” Fluttershy said. “Floraya, Venturios, we have found two others, one is in Kogaras mane, the other one is in Gobas Chest!” Twillight´s Pov: Pinkie shouted, I saw how the two of them nodded, and also turned to their Giant form, punching, kicking and beating their way towards the needed place, Venturios managed to cut of Kogaras mane, while Floraya, chained goba down on the ground with a lot of thick roots, completely paralyzing him. “You Bastard, how could you do this to my mane, I will get your soul for sure, just you wait!” Kogara yelled as she attacked Venturios, who let out a beam of electricity, shooting right through kogara which let out a pained yell, and feel backwards. A few miles away, in a shielded town did a very excited but in the same instant, also afraid little colt the exactly same, with a minor version just accidently burn a hole in the roof, as much as they later said. “Okay I got mine, and what now?” Pinkie asked as she stood by a still motionless growling Goba, which face has been planted in the sand. “I will help you, do you have something to bind the Kangaroo at yourself?” Floraya asked. “Not really that I know, I only have my saddle bag with me, and my Element of Harmony!” Pinkie said, I could hear it clearly ,even when I was 10 meters away, yes the ears of an Alincorn are really practical. “I guess the saddlebag will do its thing, what are you thinking Kangoora?” Floraya asked the suddenly appeared Kangaroo. “ Hi I am Kangoora, from Nah ka Ebeget, the Folk of Oasis, well I think this will do , since there is nothing else to slip into, though I rather whould have something cooler but , why not!” He said getting a glare from Pinkie. “Hey you, watch out , this is not an ordinary Saddlebag, i got this one from Fluttershy got it, it´s special to me, so you better be damn lucky that I use it as your medium, but if you really want , then take this here, this wristband is from Fluttershy, this one from the cakes, this from my Family, this earrings shall be the one my birthmother had worn before she died, together with this, this is the cake knife wich my mother had before she died , it’s the only thing I ever got from her, she died by my birth and it was all she had with her that time, after she run away from home, pregnant with me, I never knew even her name, but then I got adopted by the Pie family and my life brightend up again, but this knife is a gift, the only heritage I have from my birth mother, take these few special things as your medium, I bet this is good enough!” Pinkie said, and I was shocked, never, never in all this years since I knew her did she ever told us about this, that she was adopted, I never knew, again I was shocked of not knowing something, like this, such an important information. “Okay I guess this will do, im sorry but I rather thought about something to punch with!” Kangoora said. “Sigh okay , whats with this, I got it one time from Mr. Cake but never used it before!” Pinkie said as she took out a pair of tiny boxing hoof glows. “Yes this will be okay I guess!” Kangoora said, as he slipped itself into the hoof glowns and an other part of him in the earings and the knife. “Done!” she said. “Finally, so lets see what is in this body bag!” Pinkie said, as she dived inside. “He , stop that , it´s tickling!” Kangoora laughed, trying to get Pinkie back out. Twillight´s pov: “Uhmm, guys, we have better things to do, so now to you, whats your name, if I may ask?” I asked the now freed Aligator Spirit. “I am Razor, the Comodo Varan of Congoroga, the folk of the water-source, and I am a proud guardian spirit, so you better have a good medium for me. “Here take this Twillight, it’s a Necklace made with Gummys lost teeths, I wanted to give you something personal from Me and Gummy for your birthday but then in the end I was too ocupied with backing the cake , that I totally forgot about it, sorry, happy No Birthday!” Pinkie said, as she tossed , out of Kangoora´s Body bag, a necklace of still razorsharp teeths. “Well umm, okay, why not, will this do its thing Razor?” I asked my new friend. “Well this is the best Medium I ever had I must admit, I really like it!” Razor said as he dived right inside of the necklace, I took it back in my hooves and put it on. “Oh wow, it really is nice in here!” Razor said. “Glad you like it, so lets find the other ones!” “I found mine, its in Bloody Marys Tail, the Spirit of a giant bird!” Rainbow Dash said. “Alright cutie, I got this !” Venturios said as he jumped on Mary, he transformed in his Giant form and grabbed her by the tail, cutting it instantly off by the base of her flank. “Aaaaaaaarrrghhh, Fffffffff, I ´m going to kill you!” Mary screamed in hatred. “Try me!” Venturios said as he created a fist storm out of wind, wich holded Mary occupied until he was over to Rainbow dash. “Thumb!” with a loud noise the bundle of tail-hair dropped to the ground , right before Rainbow Dash. “The Tail, you have ordered Madame!” Venturios said with a smug grin. “Well thank you James!” RD joked. “Ha got him, oh wow he looks strong, hey what is your name dude!” Rainbow Dash asked the Bird. “I am Narukara the Garuda, and I like to get called , Mister, instead of, … well Dude!” The Bird said, looked quiet annoyed, which Rainbow Dash instantly mirrored. “You can have this Guy Rarity, he is just as classy, sophisticated and uptight as you sometimes!” She said earning a glare from named mare. “Hey, i´m not always acting uptight got it, and no, I already found my Guardianspirits!” Rarity said in a huff, still glaring as she stood beside two giant Fishs wich floated in a circle. “These are the Fishtwins, Koi and Oik, and they were so friendly to become my Guardian Spirits!” she said with a huff, as she introduced us to the red and the Blue Fish. “Okay , okay, sigh, I guess I get what I deserve, okay mister snooby and uptight Garuda Spirit, care to tell me how you going to become my Guardian spirit!” Rainbow Dash asked annoyed. “Aha, you…, my Shaman , I bet not my dear, never will I, the Great Garuda , Narukara ever become the Guardian Spirit of such a radiant without any niveau!” The Bird said, and you could see the fire in Rainbow Dash eyes. “Take that back, or…!” “Or What, what will probalby happen to me!” the Garuda mocked her, before he suddenly got a fist full of Rainbow Dash. “I told you it will have consequences if you trying to fuck with me!” RD fired. “Sexual intercourse, with you, never in a million years, honey!” “That’s it , you´re so dead!” RD said as she leaped on the Garudas throat, squeezing it tight. Meanwhile over the Badlands, Pipsqueaks Pov; “Yay I feel great, I have a sword , created by Lord Esteel, himself, made, for me, I can´t belive it, this is so awesome!” I squeeled like a schoolfilly. “Yeah we knew, geez its only a sword from my dad, there is nothing that special on it.” Scootaloo stated. “Waaaht, are you loco, this isn´t just a katana, its made by the coolest, awesomest, most honorable Fallen Angel I ever had the big Pleasure and Honor to met, your father is a god for me, he is the very incarnation of an honorable ruler, warrior, Pirate and Samurai!” I said. “Woah, seems like you worship him truly!” Scootaloo said. “Who wouldn´t, he is the very ideal of every strong colt who wants to become a protector, he and Lord Gaia!” I siad, giving a thumb up. “Indeed I need to agree, when I was little I also dreamed to become such a strong warrior like your Father is, dear lady Scootaloo, Lord Esteel, is maybe even one of the most favorite Fallen Angel of them all, then comes Lord Gaia and then Lord Shockwave, Lord Venturios comes on the Fourth place, though is he not to underestimate as soon as he has his Stormcore!” Freyenyo said , holding my side. “There you see, even Freyenyo likes him!”I siad with such a grin plastered all over my face. “And by the mares, wich mare of the Fallen Angels is the most Favourite?” Dinky asked. “Well in my Kingdom did Lady Lumena defently took all the likes, directly followed by Lady Floraya, Lady Jetfire and Lady Tenebra and last but not Least, Lady Aquania!” Frey said. “In my Kingdom was it a little other, the First place actually took both, Lady Lumena and Lady Floraya, afterwards came Lady Aquania, then Lady Jetfire and last but not least Lady Tenebra!” Kuronema said. “Anyways, we are here, under us you now can see, Dragon´s Mountain!” Frey said as we flew over a pitchblack giant lake in wich many little islands were located around one big with a Mountain on it, on the little ones we could see a few dragons who had their Homes their. “Oh hello, I didn´t thought that a few Guest would come to this time!” Suddenly a voice said, we turned to the side to see a dragon flying next to us. “What are Three little ponies and Two giantique birds doing here in Dragons Mountain, no offence but ist rather unusual that someone comes visiting us beside of Lady Jetfire and Princess Celestia!” The Dragon said with a warm smile. “Well we aren´t thought really here for doing some sightseeing, mister Dragon, but we rather came to meet Lady Jetfire for an Urgent Case, since she is probably the only one who can Help us with our problem!” Freyenyo said. “Ohohoho, Mister Dragon, its long time here since someone last called me that way, naaaw, just call me Salomadi, so you want to meet Lady Jetfire, well this is sure a good time to meet her, since she´s here for the Summer, but is the case at all rather difficult, let me tell you that, meeting other ponies, well it would be an understatment to say that Lady Jetfire doesent really like visitors in ponyform, even when it are just twoo little fillies and a little colt” Salomadi said. “yeah we know about aunt Jetfires Attics!” Both Dinky and Scootaloo said. “Aunt, I can´t recall that I ever heard that another of the Lady´s Siblings has children thought, oh well I guess I can bring you to her palace, but , entering and facing doom is your own beer okay?” Salomadi said. "yeah that would be cool, and don´t worry we are certain that she won´t kill us directly!” I said with a little smile. “Well if you don´t mistaken there!” I heard the dragon mumbling. “Yeah , thehehe!” I smiled weakly. It lasted a twenty more minutes before the Palace was in sight. “Down there is the palace, i´m sorry but I rather don´t want to be caught of helping intruders, even as polite and friendly as you are, in here , or else Lady Jetfire will Punish me again, and that can be kinda hard, she´s like my old Teacher in the dragon school, miss Sternwell, uuuh, bad memories, well aynways I will pray for your safety, now go and may the Lady have mercy with you!” The Dragon said as we bid him farewell. “Well then here we go!” Freyenyo and Kuronema gulped as we sank further down towards the Palace entrance. “Hey isn´t there a pony, playing with a few Dragon kids!” Dinky suddenly asked , pointing at indeed a Pegasus, as much as I could recognize, playing with a few Dragonkids. “Probably, Cousin Flamefeather, the Daughter of Aunt Jetfire!” Scootaloo said as we desenced further down, the Kids stopped to play to look at us. “Hey Cousin Flamefeather!” Scootaloo shouted , meeting the Pegasus Halfway in the air. “Cousin Scootaloo, how are you doing, wow, you come with friends, you are courageous, uhmm, do they know, about mothers habits” Flamefeather whispered. “Yeah they know about, Flamefeather meet our newest Cousin, Dinky Hooves, she is Aunt Lumena´s Daughter, and this is my Coltfriend, Pipsqueak El Ponzeleone, and these are Freyenyo the Soulowl and Kuronema the Lightdove!” Scootaloo said. “Oh wow , you already have a coltfriend, man I am somehow jealous, I havent met any nice colt , or even any nice Dragonboy yet, and even when it will probably never work with a dragon anyway!” Flamefeather said. “Naww, I wouldn´t say that, apparently one of my Friends Sister, just happens to be together with a dragon for a few weeks officially now but do they know and like each other already since years!” I said. “Wow oh well maybe, Neldor, or maybe even Quaragi!” Flamefeather blushed, it was cute, even thought that her Mane and her tail were from the colour of fire , her cutie mark was the feather of a Phoenix, maybe ther comes also the name, Flamefeather. “Anyways, Scootaloo sais that you come from Aunt Lumena, wow, do you have siblings?” Flamefeather says. “Yep two older Sisters, Aurora and Astralia and the third, Starshine, is coming soon!” I siad to her. “Awesome four more to play, yay!” Flamefeather squeeled. “Flamefeather, where are you, it´s soon time for dinner, come inside!” A mighty and Loud voice sounded through the palace. “Oh and bring the other guys too, I would like to meet them, maybe giving them a piece of mind for entering my summer Residence!” The Voice said as suddenly high flames shooted out of the ground right behind us , a few meters away. “Uhh she´s in burn mood, we better obey or else you getting grilled faster than you know, well then follow me!” Flame feather said weakly. “Ready to face doom?”she asked a few minutes later, as we arrived at a door. “I guess so, it was nice to know you Flamefeather, find a strong and good colt, who cares for you and protects you okay, goodbye Freyenyo you are a cool guy, Goodbye Kuronema, don´t be shy, kiss Frey whenever you want, and Goodbye Scootaloo I will miss, you, forever, remember I love you!” I siad as I crossed my self. “Hello there my dears, I have awaited you!” A voice said as we walked inside the hall. “Flamefeather ?” The voice said. “Oh yeah, uhm Scootaloo is here mother, and Aunt Lumena´s current Youngest daughter, together with two of the Holy birds, and a colt wich is apparently Scootaloo´s Coltfriend!” Flamefeather said, to a person which still has her back turned to us, the much of her mane wich I could see , was truly made of fire, much like her tail. She wore a t-shirt, and , much to my surprise pants. “Are you done staring at me young colt, and wouldn´t you guys rather like to help me preparing the dinner, since we have a few guests more than usual, I guess I will make some good ol´ Paela, not Flamefeather, you too Numa!” The Mare said as she pointed at a Young Dragoness, looking much like spike , only that she was green , had red hair and a splitted tail end. “Aww, but I wanted to go play with Alastor!” the named Dragoness said. “You can later if you want, right now we have guests and even when they come rather as a surprise to me, we will treat them like real guest, since too of them are family and the Other two almost, and well the Young colt seems to be nice too, at least no one of them has a killer instinct or some hidden intentions on injuring my family. The Mare than turned, and I must admit, she was beautifull, especially more beautifull than the pictures in my Book of the old times, even though the burnmark on her left eye, wich apparently was flame shaped, gave her some kind of extreme Coolness Factor. “Wow!” Was all I said, before I felt a pain in my neck. “What exactly are you staring at Pipsqueak!” Scootaloo glared and I felt sorry for myself. “Sorry, I got a bit carried away, but hay I met again a Fallen angel, since I knew about them I always thought the only Fallen angel I ever would maybe sometimes met would be your father, but now I even met half of the whole Group, this is so awesome, I mean , Next to lady Lumena is Lady Jetfire my absolute favorite by the Mares of the Fallen Angel, her strenght, her mythical Aura and her Coolness stands on one Level with Lord Esteel, the Coolest duo of the Fallen Angels , and I met them, if now I die I can die happy, seriously!” I said, making not only Flamefeather, Numa, Dinky, and Scootaloo blushing, but also Lady Jetfire herself. “Oh my, you seem to be an mega fan of us!” Lady Jetfire smiled and her smile was cute, damn why do I have to think that, I love scootaloo, and she is definitely way too old and a way too big case for me. “You can say that!” Scootaloo said. “So how are things up here, Aunt Jetfire!” Scooty asked her. “Awwh well it´s going, we had now an longer cold period in Dragons Hill, it froze our portal that’s why we were up here so late, but till now its okay, but tell me more about you and your friends, I think you have met your father?” Lady Jetfire asked. “Yeah quite two weeks ago, we had some problems in our town, and these problems are also the reason of why we have visited you!” Scootaloo said. “problems of wath kind?” “A Zombie Ice Dragon , it has appeared with the Iceking and the Icehell Kingdom, they are trying to take over Ponyville, momentary does Lord Gaia fights against the army, but am i´m sure that even by his strenght and his skill, an Ice Dragon wich is able to freeze everything in 10 meter distance from him , would be too much for him to handel!” I said to her. “You better don´t Underestimate Gaia , he….!” “Oh but of course I do not underestimate him, only a fool would, No Lady jetfire, I have seen Lord Shockwave and the others in Action, only a fool who is tired of living would ever underestimate a Fallen Angel, I have fought with the group of Lord Shockwave and Princess Sparkle, I know their power, even if they that time on Lumen only used 5 % of their full force!” I didn´t knew the effect I let off by this bomb. “Wait what!” The others shouted expect of Lady Jetfire. “Guys seriously do you really thought, that what we saw on Lumen was all what an Fallen Angel can do, c´mon Please, the Fallen Angels have Created Old Equestria as well as our Equuis, of course this was just a minimal piece of their True Power!”I said knowingly. “You seem to know quite much about us, do you excuse me the question , but who are you actually, I know that most of the Ponies on this upper world have completely forgotten about us, but that such a Young colt like you knows so much about us, makes me thought wondering?” Lady Jetfire asked. “Oh where are my manners again, I am, the son of Sir Fieronofear El Ponzeleone, Pipsqueak El Ponzeleone to your Service!” I bowed before her. “Hmm Ponzeleone, there is rigning something but I can´t quite set my hoof on it!” “Maybe you knew my Great great Grandfather, Juan El Ponzeleone?” In asked and I saw how her eyes litten up. “Yes, oh Yes and how I knew him, for this Millenium Juan was my Teenage Love, but it didn´t lost long thought, as the War began from new, I broke up with him, in order to let him go but we stayed friends, I thought didn´t knew that I was that time Pregnant, I knew it later, after he already had his eyes on a new woman, it was your Great Great Grandmother, Jeanne D´arc Vanguard, she was as the very first and also quite last mare in the Royal Guards, she was stronger than every Royal guard that time, and Juan instantly Fall in love with her, after I knew I was pregnant, I wanted to tell him, but I saw how happy he was with her, and after all I wished him just the best, so then I became a good month later Flamefeather here, she is , as much as I know the fourth Child of an Fallen Angel wich is Immortal!” Lady Jetfire. “Wait, the Fourth, I thought there are only 1 so far who is immortal, Scootaloo here, that’s what Jacky said!” Dinky said, and I nodded. “Ah okay now I understand , its probably because Jacky meant the First which isn´t an Alincorn!” Lady Jetfire said. “Then who are the other two?” I asked. “Me and my Sister!” Came the answer , we turned to see Kuronema walking over to us. “A Princess Kuronaka, how are you?” Lady Jetfire asked. “I´m fine, as much as I can be as a Bird!” Kuronema said. “What do you mean , You and your Sister?” I asked her. “Well I told you that I and Princess Cadence are sisters, and well, our Father was Lord Gaia!” Our eyes buldged out. “Lord Gaia, as in Earthhammer Gaia, the very same which currently Fights on Sweet Apple Acres, the Grandfather of Applebloom?” We asked dumbfounded. “Yes , the very same!”Kuronema said. “He and our Mother were together long ago, to be honest more than 4.000 years ago,……., our Uncle was Gormaria, and our Aunts were both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, our Mother was the Twinsister of Prince Gormaria, Archprincess Eclipse and so the oldest of the Four Children of Queen Warm Sun and King Cold Moon. After our Grandparents Death, Mother should become the new Queen Of Equestria, but her brother was Jealous over her, Younger by a few minutes he said that he shall become the King then, but its always the Husband of the Queen wich also become the King, and that was that time, Lord Gaia, our Father and the Uncle of our Mother!” Kuronema said. “Oh well, and what happened then?” We said as we sat down to listen the story, fully forgeting of why exactly we were here. “Well logically our Uncle wasn´t quite happy that our Mother became the Queen and he only the Archprince, so he planned a Complot against our mother, but Prince Mortis , that time still together with Aunt Celestia, 20 years before he came back under Nestrells Influence, found out about the Plan and told so to Aunt Celestia, after Also our mother and our father now knew about the Planned Complot, Uncle Gormaria has been bannished from the Kingdom alongside of his Complices, some of the Lords and the ladys in the Kingdom, which hated our Mother. And well the rest you knew, Gormarias Hatred towards the Alincorn Kingdom Grew, and he then Decided to kill all Alincorns which are in a Mighty position and so he started the Alincorn War, out of this war are now only 16 of at least 1.000 Alincorns still alive, after the war came to an End, Brother and Sister stood together for a Final War in Stallhalla, that time the Maintown of all the Alincorn Kingdoms, right in the Middle of the Land, it was a gruesome Fight wich began to destroy the last remains of the Alincorn Kingdoms, Meanwhile the Alincorn War also the Masters of Darkness, most of the Elements of Chaos, their created Minions and the Legion of Darkness began to Attack the whole world, so that right in the war, Father needed to go to help His Siblings fighting against the Legions of Nestrell, he knew that our Mother was strong and so did she know that our Father has a Responsibility over Guarding not Only the Land of Equestria but also the whole Planet, Equegea. After Our Uncle was defeated and Slain by our mother, she cried , she cried like so many prince, princesses, Lords and Ladies before about all the loss the war brought, but the most about her loss of her Brother which she neede to Kill with her own hands, the Ponies and the Alincorns which remained celebrated her as their savior and their heroine, but Mother couldn´t bear it, no matter what we have done to cheer her up, no matter of how much our father tried, she wasn´t the same anymore, and So was also our Aunt Celestia, she was afraid of what her Brother did to her older Sister, even when she tried to deny it and to not show it, we saw right through her, she was afraid that Princess Luna would do the same to her someday, and as then our Mother killed herself by piercing a Sword through her,…chest, she …she….oh god..!” Suddenly Kuronema broke together crying , holded by Freyenyo, they began to shine and before we knew a beautifull Alincorn Pair stood infront of us. “What has Happnened?” I asked Lady jetfire. “It´s told that when A Legendary Bird is in deep sorrow that he/she transform her-/himself temporary back in their true form!” Lady Jetfire said as she pointed at an Pink Alincorn mare with a blue and Green mane, and a White Alincorn stallion with a ebony black mane and Blue eyes. “Wow they are so Beautifull together!” Dinky said being instantly lovestrucked by all this Beauty of this Alincorn pair. “Is it going Kuronema?” The Stallion asked. “Yes , I guess im good again, its just so painfull to tell this story!” Kuronema said. “Shall I, umm, continue!”Jetfire asked and Kuronema nodded. “So , before Eclipse did her last breath, both of her sisters found her, they then splitted her soul in two pieces and each one of them took one piece in their own body, so it happened that even without a body, Queen Eclipse still lives, in both , the Two Princesses of Equestria, that’s also why Celestia never called or let herself being Called, Queen Celestia, because this title rightfully belongs to her Older Sister Eclipse, after Eclipse died, Gaia lived in sorrow for 300 years, but it then again longed 100 years before he began a new Relationship but none of them hold long enough to build a true family, Anabelle Applepie Smith was the very First , after Eclipse with wich Gaia started a new family!” Lady Jetfire said. “That would be Appleblooms Grandmother, but why her, I mean why did Lord Gaia started only with her a new family?” Scootaloo asked. “I once asked Gaia the same, he said that the two of them, both Eclipse and Anabelle were so much alike, only different by the Social stand, but both have the same energy, and the same apperance, he even once said that he could almost see Princess Eclipse in Anabelle, as if she were the reincarnation of Eclipse!” Lady Jetfire said. “Wow,………,hey aren´t we forgetting something, we still have to save Ponyville from destruction!” I suddenly screamed as I threw myself infront of Lady Jetfire. “Lady Jetfire, great Mistress of Fire, I beg you, please help us with fighting the Dragon, and save our Town from the Destruction!” I begged on knees for it, but Lady Jetfire was still not satisfied. “Okay , let´s make a deal, I will help you, but before you have to do something for me, the last ponies who asked me for help were also the same which later slayed my horn off, and since I sweared to myself to never truly trust anypony I don´t really know , I will something from you in return!” Lady Jetfire said with a stern look at Pipsqueak. “Anything as long as you help us to defend our home Town!” Dinky begged too. “I want you three to go searching for my Dragoncore of Fire, he is down in the Dorogo Dungeon, but beware the Guardian is not easy to defeat, but don´t feel bad by killing him after all he is made out of the magical power of the Volcanocore, so when you defeat him all of his force will return to the Core, this is by every guardian the same!” Lady Jetfire said. “Alright we will bring you your dragoncore but better you keep your promise, after we brought it to you , you will help us got it!” Pipsqueak said determined. “You have my word, now go, and better don´t come back without the Core , if you want to save your Town!”Lady Jetfire said. Meanwhile in Westernfield, Fluttershy´s Pov: “Are you finally done!” I said looking at the two cowering infront of me. “Yes we are Mistress!” Both, Rainbow Dash and Narukara the Garuda, said, bowing infront of me. “Geez we have way better things to do than seeing you two bickering got it!”I said with an stern glare. “We understood, mistress!” the both of them said. “From now on you gonna be the best friends okay!”I said and they nodded. “On good work together!” They said as they fist and claw bumped. “Well was that that bad?” I asked them. “No, actually not!” Both said. “Alright then let´s go!” I siad. “And what exactly are we doing now!” Rainbow Dash asked and it was a damn good question. “I ,…, actually have no idea, not Jacky nor Floraya told me about!” I siad as I looked at our mighty Friends who were about to give soon in, well so I thought. “I guess we can`t do anything but look right now!” I said weakly, but another completely new Voice answered. “But I know somethings you could do!” A voice, totally foreign to me said. “Who was that?” I asked looking frantically. “I am here!” The voice said I looked down but saw nothing. “Sigh, I am in your Sword!” The voice said I then unsheate my Sword of the Forest, only to see Eyes starring back. “Waaaah, what, who are you!” I said as I let the sword fall , afraid almost near an Heartattack. “Hey , don´t you dare to ever do this again, I am not just a piece of metal, I have also my emotion and feelings too, got it!” the Sword rised and floated infront of me, bending to me while now it was me who cowered. “I´m very sorry, I didn´t knew you were in there, excuse me the question but who are you actually and what are you doing in my Sword!” I asked dumfounded. “Ahem, ahem, well my Name is Ophiel and I ruled about 14 provinces of the Forests in Equestria. I was the Supreme lord of Nature. My planet is Mercurya, I was Florayas very First Husband and the Father of Roselake Dryade and so the first Leader of the Chlorophelia Clan alongside of Floraya, and I am here to take you on a short travel in the world of the Shamans, Fluttershy Dryade, gather your Shamanfriends around you together we going on a short journey!” The voice said and I nodded. “Guys come gather around me in a circle!” I said to my Friends, which instantly obbeyed. “Whats the matter Dear?” Rarity asked as all of them gathered around me, Rarity with Koi and Oik , My Beloved Pinkie with Kangoora, Rainbow Dash with Narukara, Twillight with Razor, Applejack with Yugorias, Little Strongheart with Hebraska, RD´s Brother Rainbow beam with Thelaya, Mana with Aquila and Roseluck with Roselake, I stood with Gingorias in the middle. “And what now!” I asked my Sword which I knew must look rather stupid. “Close your eyes and when I say it , open it again!” Ophiel said. “Okay guys close your eyes!” I said and we did as told, a few minutes nothing happened. “You may open them now!” The Voice of Ophiel said , now clearer than before. I opened my eyes to see that we stood at an clearing in a forest. “Where are we?” All of us asked each other but needed to shrugging. “Welcome Shamans and Guardian Spirits, I am Ophiel, the Supreme lord of the Forest and the Lord of the Shaman-afterworld!”, infront of us stood a giant deer with a long antler of at least 12 ends each side. “We are here in the Hall of Begin and End, where the Shaman Clans have been born so long ago, this is Alpha and Omega, the Guardian Spirits of Balance Okura and Aruko!” A White and a Black Hawk appearend on each side of the antler. “They stand also for Life and Death, and guarding the Shaman of Life and Death, the very first and one of the new Shamans, the two of them will now open the gate to Cobalia and we will meet the royal Shamans of the past, the ones who won the last Shaman battles and became the royal Shamans of Equestria, Shaman-Princesses and Princes from all over 4.000 years of Shamanism in Equuis!” We saw how Both the Hawks began to saor while flying in a vertical Circle around, suddenly a Mirror like surface appeared in the middle of the flewn circle. “This here was the very first Shaman Princess, Roselake Dryade, which was my daughter and is now the Guardian spirit of her Reincarnation, Roseluck Dryade!” Ophiel said, and we saw how she floated next to Ophiel. “Together with Roselake had also Arachena from the Spiderbite Clan won!” A Mare in a traditional Shamandress walked out of the gate right next to Roselake. “Then came my Great granddaughter Harmony, the third daughter of my granddaughter Cobama, the other two are the ones you are fighting right now, Miasmaria and Miastaria, the bannished Witchtwins of the Dryade Clan!” A young mare walked out of the gate and stood next to Ophiel. “Then came Faustus, the Necromancer and the very first not-born Shamanprince!” A young Stallion , a little older than harmony thought, apeared and stood next to ophiel on the other side. “Then Came Lady Starlight Angelwing, Princess of the Kingdom of Wisdom, older Sister of Lady Farora Angelwing and Wife of Lord Reshiro, and Highpristess of Lumen!” Ophiel said as a White Alincorn Mare walked out of the gate, she was a strong warrior that for sure and she did had a few simmilarities with lady Farora. “Next to come is Jiang Shi, he died a year before getting the Chance to take part on the Shaman battle, but his father revieved him with help of necromancy, he is a completed zombie, but has he no intentions of eating souls, due to the fact that he may be dead but his ghost as well his soul still lives in his corpse, the Ofuda on his hat prevents the soul from parting away from the body and the ghost, so its able that he still lives after being dead, logically after he won the Battle he still died but he was happy to be able to win, but after him we took the rule that every zombie is instantly banned from the Battle!” Ophiel said as a blueish gray pony in some very old Ponese clothes, walked out of the gate next to Faustus. “Here comes Magyrus, Shaman and in his time, one of the best friends of Starswirl the bearded in his young years, Starswirl always told him to train hard to one day become the Shaman-prince, and indeed , Magyrus managed to become it!” Ophiel smiled to the young Stallion which stepped next to Jiang shi. “Here we have Mayesto, he was a Mighty warrior before the destiny of becoming a shaman had been decided over him, he is from the Kingdom of Wind, Ava Ventura, as a warriror he knew on how to fight , and with the help of his guardian ghost, Nukem, a mighty Wind dragon ( Chinese styled green Dragon) he won the Shaman battle in a Rush, he hides his face behind a mask made of the Skull of his Dragonspirit, the parts of the dragon which he wears, are his mediums!” a Mighty Warrior stepped next to Lady Farora, wich looked with love in her glance at him. “Then came the next two, Meito and Ryuko are also Shaman princes and best friends wich won the Shaman battle with help of their friendship and their own force of believing, they truly lived their dream!” Two young colts walked out of the Gate. “Now comes Moonshine from the Lumenza Clan, which lived on Lumen before the Alincorn War, she was a mighty Shaman wich became the Shamanprincess because of her ability to camouflage like a chameleon. “And here we have again one of the youngest, Soria, he is a mighty drawing shaman who is able to use his own drawings as weapons, but he loves to fight with a sword, he was the very first Keyblader ever!” Ophiel said ruffling the mane of the now new Appeared colt, who wore a giant key with himself. “And now we have another winner duo!” “Here comes Ichigo, he is a Shaman From Tarakena, son of a Tarakena Guard and an female Exorcist, his former mission was , together with the Guild of the Black Exorsists of the Dark Church, to freeing peoples from possesion of dark souls who dont wanted to go back in hell, or maybe even from Poltergeist´s. he was and is still the Apprentice of Lady Tenebra, in order to become a Shinigami, a minor Version of the Deus Mortem ( Death Gods)!” A Stallion walked out , hand in hand with a young mare. “And this is Soifon, she is much like Ichigo also an Exorsist, and in Ichigo´s Shaman Team, she was his Tag Team Partner, and both won the Battle, but other than Ichigo her parents were former of the Ocean clan from Japonia, as they died Soifon feeled so much sorrow that she followed her Parent´s souls, until she reached The Gate to the Styga, she wanted to go through but Cerberus almost killed her, but the Fairmare of the Styga , and so also the Capitain of the Tarakena Guards, Deathmare Acrusia, had mercy with her and asked Lady Tenebra on being able to adopte and raise her, Soifon was that time like only Five Years old, Ichigo was the one first real friend she had!” Ophiel said as both stepped next to Moonshine. “Next one is Frost, he is a Pegasus of the Ice Clan, and is able to use Ice Magic, a Shaman he became after he fought together with the village ponies against the first Lich King, he heard the cries of sorrow of the dead peoples, the oldest of the clan then took him in and helped him to train his ability!” Ophiel said as a grumbling Stallion with crystal-clear frozen-like wings walked through the gate. “Unfortunalety can´t you meet the next Shaman because she is not existent in this world anymore, her name was Timetwist and she came from the Timemage clan, Tempus!” Ophiel said. “Here we have now Alfonso, he is a mage and Shaman from Steel Mountain Valley, in Lord Esteels hometown, he was one of the workers of the Esteel Manufacturing Factory, and he learned under Lord Esteel to become a Metalmage, after he losed two of his hooves in a battle , he builded himself new ones out of metal and the iron in its blood!” Ophiel said as indeed a Stalion with two metalic hooves, appeared infront of us, the last to come out of the gate were two mares, afterwards the gate closed itself. “And last but not least the earliest addition from 400 years ago, Magola and Nagola Magistaria, the Sisters of the Magistra clan. Two mares appeared, one white the other brown coated, while the with one seemed to be from the wilder sort does the brown coated have a more gentle and shy art but I could still feel big strenght at her. “And we welcome you in the Hall of begin, welcome in the world of the Shamans, my young Friends!” the Deer stepped infront of us, as the old Shamans stood in a circle around us, suddenly all our Guardian Spirits appeared on our side, Razor appeared wrapped on my shoulders, all the little animal spirits, stood, sat or lied in their favourite place, Applejack even got lifted up by the bulls head, sitting on his neck, Pinkie sat in Kangoora´s bodybag, Rainbow beam sat on Thelaya, and so on , all of them stood at our side, while the shamans danced in a clockvise circular motion around singing a song from acient times together with their own Guardian spirits it was like a big Zoo. (Bill Miller Ghost Dance) I want to go where the blind can see I want to go where the lame will walk I wanna see the sick ones clean Where the deaf can hear and the silent talk [Chorus] Where are you going, to a ghostdance in the snow? Are your all, maybe warriors, that are finally coming home I wanna go where the dead are raised Where the mountain lion lays down with the lamb I wanna stand where the Goddness is praised I wanna ride across the plains to the promised land [Chorus] Where I'm going don't need to raise your voice No starvation, have plenty to eat No guns, no wars, no hateful noise Just a victory dance, we'll never taste defeat Where there's nothin' done or said that can't be forgiven Where every step you take is on sacred ground Walk away from death into the land of the living Where all the lost tribes are finally found [Chorus: x2] Twillights Pov: I felt how force run through me, but was it not only my own magic, it was mine and something other, something old and mighty, something powerfull. “Awake as the true shamans you are, and show me your respect to the Shamans of old times, show it to me, Bearer of Thelaya!” Ophiel said. “With the earth in my heart, awaken, Spirit of the Tigeress, unleash your true power!” Rainbow Beam suddenly said, and a transformation played right infront of my eyes, there was a flash, and something other, but it was too bright to see, but in the end RB stood at the same place with completely other clothes, made of the coat of the Tigeress, the half of the head was attached on his head, it looked stylish, creepy and wise at the same time, are these the Clothes of a Shaman. “What is your holy weapon, my dear Shaman of the Stormfield clan?” Ophiel asked. “It’s the Stormsythe!” RB said as suddenly a giant Sythe appeared. “Very well, You are the next, Bearer of Hebraska!” “With the Voice of my soul, awaken, Spirit of the Golden Eagle, unleash your true power!” Also Little Strongheart transformed, with a Dress made out of the Feathers of the Eagle, and the Eagles half head on her own head, suprisingly she also transformed in an Anthromorphic form and I admit she did look hot, wait what is wrong with me, why do I suddenly look at Girls , am I a Lesbian, wait no way I , can it be that I am Bi-sexual, I mean I know that I also sometimes look at stallions, maybe not that often but still. “What is your holy weapon shaman of the Rock clan?” “It´s the Flute of illusions!” Little Strongheart replied as also a Flute appeared infront of her, it had the form of a Snake. “Exellent, Bearer of Aquila, your turn!” “With the healing Wind in my Wings, awaken, spirit of the Barn Owl, unleash your true power!” Mana said , and after the lightshow also she transformed into her Anthromorphic form. “What is your Holy weapon, Shaman of the Sandstorm Clan?” “It is the Vortex Shuriken!” A giant Shuriken appeared, as Mana took the same in the hollowed circle in the middle. “Good, the next one is you Bearer of Razor!” What to do, what to say, and how to act, I need to know it, or else I will embarrass myself only, I freaked out I knew it. “Twillight Moonshine Sparkle, keep calm and listen to my words, say them and our destiny together will show!” Razor said. “My soul is burning with courage, so is my Body, with the Fire in me, awaken, Spirit of the Comodo Varan, unleash your true power!” I replied after the words wich Razor told me in my mind, I felt how the feeling of might and power I earlier had, began to rise and to grow, I felt how it engulfed my inner self, filling up with magical power, I felt the magic of my Element of Harmony, wait no, I mean the force of my Crest of Magic. I felt how Razor embrassed me. “I am on your side, from now on , and forever until the death will separate us again, I will protect you!” He said , laying his claw on my shoulder, it felt so good I felt so protected and safe in his embrace, though I knew it was for the Shaman ritual it felt just like razor made me a love confession or even a proposion. “I am most thankfull Razor, my wonderfull Guardian Spirit of the acient Fire!” I said and he nodded. “I will stay on your side Twillight!” he said , as the Light faded away I stood in a scaled dress with burning fire coming out of every scale but it was not so visible it was more like the force wich leaks out of the force, I saw that I looked through some kind of Mask, I tried to take it off before I touched something scaled on my face. “Razors Head!” I muttered. “Exellent , what is your Holy Weapon, Shaman of the lost Volcano Clan!” Ophiel asked. “The Flame Ceptre!” I siad as a Ceptre of fire appeared, I took it in my hand and I was a bit surprised it didn´t hurted even though I grabbed the fire itself, I looked it over, it had my star, my Crest of Magic as its top-piece, encircled by burning flames. “This was Exellent for your first Shaman Transformation, next to go is the Bearer of Narukara!” “My wings are filled by the Acient winds, with the Air about me , awaken, Spirit of the Garuda, unleash your true Power!” Rainbow Dash said and I saw how Rainbow Beam looked with high hopes towards his sister. The lightshow also transformed Rainbow Dash, she became covered in a coat of feathers, the garuda head appeared as a mask over her own head, her wings became covered by the Garuda´s feathers and are now even longer and stronger. “Wonderfull, what is your Holy Weapon, Shaman of the Hurricane Clan?” Ophiel asked Rainbow Dash. “It´s the Thunderstorm-Blade-Boomerang!” Rainbow Dash said as said Boomerang appeared, it was a giant thing and it wore her Crest of Loyality and it seemed to be on high voltage I can see little sparks snakeing over it. “ Very Well, next one to go, is the Bearer of Koi and Oik!” Ophiel said looking over to Rarity, wich just stopped to talk to the two Fishes. “Alright, keep calm and go on Rarity!” I heard her mutter. “With the Tides of Faraway, I will swim, with the Water around me, awaken, Spirits of the Fishtwins, unleash your true powers!” we could see how Rarity got circled by the two Fishs and suddenly a fully new dress appeared at her, it was very beautifull, in white and blue , her Cutiemark was attached, as Saphires at the dress sides, her Horn became a new blueish color on the tip, her ears had the same blueish stitch inside and her eyes were also framed from the same blue saphire shine like her Cutiemark. “Wow, it is amazing so fabulous, very thank you, you two!” Rarity said after she stopped spining looking at every angel squealing, she kissed both Fishs on the head, which blushed furiously. “Uhmmm no problem we guess!” The two said. “Ahem, yes its very beautiful anyway, what is your holy weapon , shaman of the Lost Ocean Clan?” “The Ocean-tamer Ceptre!” Rarity said as a Ceptre with blue waves around a Blue Saphire as her Crest of Generosity, appeared out of nowhere like most of this weapons. “Fabulous, so the next one to go is the Bearer of Yugorias!” Ophiel said as Applejack stepped in front. “That would be me!” she said with determinition. “With the fire of the planet, ah will be stronger, with the earth under mah, awaken, Spirit of the Buffalo, unleash your true powers!” Applejack transformed into a warrior , of the old Viking clans, she wore a helmet, with Buffaloo horns, a big Armor she wore and all in all her appearance became much more stronger. “Nice , well what is your holy weapon, Shaman of the lost Earthclan?” “The Mountain-slicer Twin-Axes!” Applejack said, as Two mighty axes appeared out of the ground with Applejacks Crest of Honesty. “Alright, now the next one is the Bearer of Gingorias, I guess this is you dear Fluttershy!” Ophiel said to the said pegasus. “Alright here we go, With the holy force of the Nature, I once called my world, with the forest beyond me, awaken, Spirit of the White Wolf, unleash your true power!” Fluttershy transformed, her body got covered in white fur, it was like her Poncho she normaly also wear, only that the Force of Gingorias finally completely added to her, when she former only took him in the poncho , he now fully make it his own medium, the Poncho created a mask for Fluttershy to wear, it was a Wolfmask made out of Gingorias half head, like by most of us. “Excellent, what is your Holy Weapon, Shaman of the Forestfolk Chlorophelia?” Ophiel asked. “The Dryade-staff of Chlorophelia!” Fluttershy said determinated, as she took out an old looking wooden staff, wich suddenly got filled with Natural energy, it became a Ceptre made of Gold with her Crest of Kindness on top. “Very well, and the last one is the Bearer of Kangoora!” Ophiel nodded. “Uh,uh this is me, Hi im Pinkie pie, and I am ready , ready , ready!” Pinkie said as she jumped up and down. “Alright, haha, then show me your true power!” Ophiel laughed. “Alright, with the Force of Heavy Metal, the mines are my home, with the Steel before me, awaken , Spirit of the Kangaroo, unleash your true power!” Pinkie said, as she tranformed , the armor she became was fully made out of metal, and it let only her Hands free. “Wow, oh well, nice I must say, anyways what is your holy weapon?” Ophiel asked. “The Torpedo-gloves!” Pinkie shouted as suddenly some heavy looking mettalic gloves appeared infront of her. “Wow , this things look heavy!” Ophiel made big eyes as Pinkie simply put them on as if they weren´t heavy at all but light as a feather. “Naw not really its actually really light, here take one!” Pinkie said as she gave one to Ophiel who suddenly was on the ground. “Oh c´mon it isn´t that heavy!” Pinkie said as Ophiel effortlessly tried to pull it high enough, Pinkie grabbed it out of Ophiel grasp causing him to slay his own hooves in his face. “Ow shit, are you crazy, don´t take it suddenly away while I try to lift the thing!” he yelled at her in a slapstick manner, while we all could only shake our heads to both of them. “Oh well I guess my mission is done so far, all I have to do for now is to defend Fluttershy, as my Ex-wife said to me to do!” Ophiel said. Suddenly the other Shamans all bowed before Fluttershy, we didn’t know why we did too. “Fluttershy, this years Shaman-Archprincess, please guide us towards the this years Shaman Battle!” Ophiel said as he too bowed before Fluttershy which was completely buff. “Uh, uhm, …yes!” She said after the overhelming praise sunk in her. “We have our Shaman- Archprincess, now on to see who is worth to be the Princes and Princesses, I know every one of you want to be, so let us win this Battle, got it !” Ophiel said , and we all cheered. “Alright here we go!” The Three older Shamans, held their hands and hoofs together. “The Earth in my heart!” Rainbow beam said. “The Voice of my Soul!” Little Strongheart said. “The healing Wind in my Wings!” Mana Machete said. “I guess this means we shall go next, alright then!” I said to myself. “The Fire in me!” I said determined. “The Air about me!” Rainbow dash said. “The Water around me!” Rarity said. “The Earth under me!” Applejack said. “The Forest beyond me!” Fluttershy said shyly too. “The Steel before me!” Pinkie said too collecting the Circle. “Lets Kick Some ass!” We shouted as we woke all up from our trance we were in, outside of it there were only a few seconds gone. “Well then Here we go again!” I shouted as we launched for the final fight in the Westernfield, so we thought.
