//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: Sensei Zukko and the Changeling infiltration // by Renamonkasursal //------------------------------// A place near from Ponyville, lies a old monastery where an ancient earth pony lives. Ninjas train there to defend from evil, such as Changelings. All was at peace, for now. “Ah… Nothing better than a cup of tea.” the grey earth pony continued to sip his tea, and then he heard some knocking at the door. “I wonder who that could be?” He walked to the door, and opened it. “Oh hello! I’m the Doctor. I don’t think we met, but my TARDIS just landed near your monastery.” “Tardis?” “Yes, the blue box that is bigger in the inside.” “I heard of the pony in the blue box, the ancient scrolls said many things about it. Does it time travel?” “How did you know that?” “Just a hunch.” “By the way, what is your name?” “Sensei Zukko Majaihko” “Are you the one who wrote the books called ‘The Art of the Muffin’ and ‘How to fight a Changeling’ ?” "Yes. The books are very popular with many readers. Why you ask?" "My companion Ditsy Doo has the muffin book, and she read it to me. But the one about Changelings said that the Changelings once were Flutterponies. I heard of them, but it was long ago.” “I once had a friend who was a flutterpony… I hadn’t heard from him since that day of when Discord changed them all… And, who is this Ditsy? I wish to meet her in person.” “Ditsy! A special pony wants to see you!” A grey Pegasus with yellow hair and derp eyes came out of the Tardis. “I know you! You’re the pony who wrote The Art of the Muffin! Can I have your autograph?” “Sure!” He signed a piece of paper, and gave it to her. The grey Pegasus happily went inside the building. A loud crash was heard. When the two Earth ponies rushed in, Ditsy was near a broken vase. “I think I broke something.” “It’s okay, I was about to get rid of it anyway.” “Sooo… Do you own this place?” “Yes, it was built to train ninjas. It was passed down to me from my father.” “Is he still living?” “No. He died from the war in Canterlot…” “Oh, I’m terribly sorry that happened. Was he any chance perhaps Kinhei Majaihko?” “Yes. I didn’t know how he died. How do you know his name?” “I was in the war, and found Queen Chrysalis attacking him. She mentioned his name, and ranting on about something, something about killing his son, then she killed Kinhei on the spot.” “You could have let my father live!” “I couldn’t, she was too powerful at the time” Zukko cleaned up the broken glass, and then he said, “I believe you should leave. I have a strange feeling that danger is near.” Meanwhile somewhere else, a large Changeling was monitoring the whole thing. She chuckled, and then spoke “Yes, it was I, Queen Chrysalis, who killed your father. I was looking all over for you, searching for the one child. Let me send my welcome gift to help soothe your sorrows. And it will be a one heck of a surprise!” she laughs some more.
