I ran towards the center of the maze, anger growing with each paw leap. After everyone met up, they started talking about some strange stuff...
"I don't feel that way!" "I thought you were all dead!" "My sweetie belle!" "You girls didn't like my party." "SILENCE!" Every pony looked at her, even I did.
"You have found me, so as I promised, your Celestia shall be returned." And with a flash, she appeared laying on the ground next to her, groaning.
The ponies went to help her, she began to laugh again, with the Elements over her head. "Well, now that this is over, now its time for ANOTHER GAME!"
We were all listening. "Its simple, its called Hide and seek, you find the elements, and if you don't find them by..oh lets say...an hour! I will destroy them and THE NIGHT WILL LAST FOREVER!"
And with that the Elements are gone and she laughed again, then I rushed at her and began to strike at her. She flew up before that could happen.
"Forget I have wings? They are either at Ponyville, or Canterlot...Or both!" And with that she disappeared, leaving us.
"Alright, I want answers." I slowly walked towards Celestia. "Explain to me how it is you got banished to the sun, when you should be stronger than Nightmare Moon?" I thought about what to say next, but Celestia had put a hoof on my shoulder. She still had her smile, even though she looked a little bit groggy. I had a bad feeling of what she was going to say.
"You have done well, just take a moment to rest." Her words relaxed me, and I don't know why. "It's what I do." And she can read my mind, can't she? "Yes." Lovely... She let out a snicker before continuing. "Hold on for a moment, I need to contact two ponies." Her eyes closed and her face changed into a more focused form. Soon after, she relaxed and spoke. "They should be here shortly." And as if on cue, two alicorns dropped from the sky.
I scanned them over, especially the copper one. His mark was...A crosshair? Not to mention something on his back, it was too thick and long to be a sword. I then realized what it was. "I didn't think you had guns, Celestia. Being peaceful and all." She turned to me, a look of surprise. "Where I come from, they're common tools. Anyway, care to explain the two before us?" She looked over the two alicorns, then the mane 5, and finally back to me. "They are just some ponies here to help." Now I am not as dumb as you think, Celestia. But fine, I'll buy it for now. She gave me a nod and trotted over to the two alicorns, whispering something to them. Due to my enhanced sense, I could hear every word she was saying. Problem was, it was all gibberish. Right, alicorns have telepathy... The copper one looked straight at me, most likely trying to read my mind.
Good luck, buddy. Just cause Celestia can, doesn't mean I don't have my methods of blocking you out. He shook his head at me and went back to Celestia. I turned to the mane 5 with a worried expression. "Even if we find the elements, there is still one issue." They all looked confused. "You're kidding me? You don't notice the lack of loyalty?" They looked around frantically for Rainbow Dash. Then it hit me. "Son of a...I should have guessed it sooner." They all looked back at me. I turned to face the alicorns. "Nightmare Moon did something to Rainbow. I can think of a few things to do to her right now, but I won't due to the fact that the alicorns can read my mind...For now."
Turning back to the mane 5, let's just say my face made them look a little afraid. "I'll go to Ponyville with Twilight, the rest of you look through Canterlot. Tonight is Nightmare Night, right?" They told me I was correct, which made me a little bit more angry. "She could have hidden them anywhere then. It'll take a miracle to find them..." Another thought came to mind. "Or an alicorn or two..." I shifted around to find the copper one staring me in the face. He was the same height as me, but the gun makes the difference on power. "Alright, you already heard my plan, what were her orders to you?"
He grinned at me, "First things first, we need to get introductions out of the way." He said as the other alicorn moved up next to him. "My names is Aces, you can call me Spade. This here is Shadow," she made a polite bow. "Who we are and what we do I cannot tell you, any of you." He said addressing all of us, "But what I can tell you is that we will help you all find the Elements of Harmony."
"Call me Zin. I can tell you more about myself when this whole ordeal is over." I gave him a smirk as I finished the sentence. I took the guitar off my back and started to inspect it as I heard Spade's voice. There was a small button on it. That wasn't there before. I pressed it and the back of the guitar shifted from a backwards V into a sword, real blades and everything. "That's new..." I looked back up at Spade and Shadow, to see confused expressions. "Uhhh...Carry on." I felt a little awkward at this point. I slung my guitar...Sword....Thing on my back. Spade looked over us before speaking, changing the already made plans.
"Here is what the plan will be." His vision stopped on me. "Zin and I will head over to Ponyville and using my magic, will locate whatever Elements that Nightmare Moon might of hid there." Next to speak was Shadow, who looked over the mane 5. "You five and I will stay here in Canterlot and using my own magic will search for any of the Elements that she may of hid up here." They all nodded except for me. Spade looked dead on at my eyes. He gave a nod to me, which I returned. I got the feeling that he didn't trust me, or at least not my kind. This could be interesting, working beside an alicorn. I just hope Rainbow Dash is safe...
