Chapter 5: To catch a pony!

Yo! All you readers out there! When reading Fairy Tail, make sure you are in a brightly lit area and in a comfortable position while reading okay?-Natsu


"Previously on Fairy Tail!" Happy addressed

"Princess Celestia has created a portal to Earth Land!" Twilight explained

"But Discord has broken free from his prison and performed a nasty spell of disasters!" Rainbow Dash said "Equestria was unharmed but Earth Land certainly was! From humans, they turned into ponies!"

"Are you sure that it was this Discord and not your Princess?" Lucy asked

"She Pinkie-Promises!" Pinkie answers "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

"An' Rainbow, or any of us will never break it!" Applejack guaranteed remembering what happened when she broke a Pinkie Promise.

"Anyway! Everypony in Fairy Tail is still trying to cope with these pony forms even though everyone's magic is unaffected! For me, I like this body!" Gray admired "Faster, stronger and temperature wise, cooler!"

"That because you don't have to wear clothes anyway!" Natsu taunted

"Natsu darling, ponies from our world do wear clothes for special occasions." Rarity corrected "Besides, you're wearing a scarf!"

"Anyway! That's when the 6 native ponies and baby dragon enter our world, offering allegiance." Carla continued

"I guess our welcomes aren't that nice all the time" Wendy said embarrassingly

"After a few friendly chats, Master Makarov has some news and a large job for us! We are going to round up some ponies invading our world and the Mane 6 are willing to join us!" Erza concluded

"Of course, you have to watch "our" show first." Fluttershy piped in "Frankly, I really don't know how our adventures got here again. I'm truly sorry!"

"Hey..." Spike questioned "Why do you Earthland Ponies talk about what happened in previous chapters?"


The East Forest. A forest east of Magnolia, it contains many animals and plants and has a warm climate with a good amount of moisture. Two of the teams are dispatched there, Elfman, Wakaba, Macao, Fluttershy, and Twilight and the triple Ls

To catch a pony!

"Umm, Mr Strauss, Mr Conbolt and Mr Mine, where are we?" Fluttershy asked

"We're in the forest East of Magnolia, I thought ponies would like to hang around here so it would be a great place to start." Macao explained

"Actually, our ponies have civilised tastes so they would normally be in the town." Fluttershy corrected "However, I don't mind searching here for- what is that?" Fluttershy gasped as she ran over to a little polka dotted creature with a leaf on its body.

"Oh! That's a goblin, they are cute little buggers." Wakaba answered as Fluttershy started nuzzling the goblin who also nuzzled back after finding her friendly. "But that's not all. Apart from cute creatures, there are also dangerous ones in the forest like the-" Wakaba was interrupted as a Forest Vulcan jumped out of a bush with a roar.

"Ooh!! More ponies! I'm going to get you!!!!" The Forest Vulcan said and ferociously stomped on the ground sending the ponies flying. Everyone landed in a crumpled heap except for Fluttershy who was flying in the air. She let the goblin go free to keep it safe from the massive vulcan standing before her.

"Why! You rude monkey!" Wakaba cursed and using his unicorn magic, covered the smoke pipe he has in his mouth until a large magic circle enveloped the hole of the smoke pipe.

"Smoke Crush!" Wakaba chanted and blew into his pipe to shoot smoke that struck the Vulcan square in the face.

"W-wait! D-don't hurt it!" Fluttershy piped up but the other wizard ponies weren't listening,

"Purple Rain!" Macao yelled and multiple purple fireballs erupted from the purple magic circle created by his horn. It struck the Forest Vulcan neatly.

"Ooh! Now I'm really mad!" The Vulcan yelled reeling from the pain and threw a massive boulder at the four.

"If you are a stallion, then take the punch for others!" Elfman addressed "Beast Leg: Iron Bull!" And at that response, his two hind legs magically transformed into the legs of an iron beast. Elfman turned around to prepare a strong buck and lashed his hind legs out at the boulder shattering it into pieces. Fluttershy was amazed at this monstrous strength.

"W....Wow..." Fluttershy whispered. The Forest Vulcan was annoyed that he was no match for the three ponies so he decided to throw a massive punch at the shy pegasus.

"Fluttershy! Watch out!" Macao warned and Fluttershy flew away from the range of the punch with ease.

"Mr Monkey! There there! Don't be so angry!" Fluttershy said to the Vulcan, the Vulcan was about to punch her out of anger but Fluttershy rubbed her face on his fist to show that she was friendly. The other three wizards are amazed

"Is she trying to tame the Vulcan?" Macao questioned

"Well" Wakaba answered "We do know that she does have a way with animals"

"Fluttershy's a stallion to brave the Vulcan!" Elfman complimented "But I'm not sure Vulcans would be easy to tame..."

"Is there anything wrong?" Fluttershy questioned kindly, the Vulcan stared at the little eyes of the yellow pegasus and started to show some tears at something cute. The vulcan then retracted his arm pointing at Fluttershy, there Fluttershy smiled happily until the Vulcan's other hand grabbed her when she was off guard.

"I have no problem little pony!" The Vulcan babbled "I just want more cute ponies for my collection! And you'll do!!!" Then the Vulcan started trudging away.

"Fluttershy!!!!" Elfman cried as he and the other two gave chase with fear.


In another area of the dense forest, Lucy was leading the team with Lisanna tagging behind, Twilight trailed third while reading a history book of Fiore while Levy was reading a history book of Equestria.

"Thanks for giving me this book Twilight!" Levy thanked "It was kind for you to send a letter to your Princess to ask for one! I'll promise to give it back as soon as I'm finished"

"Don't worry about it!" Twilight replied blushing "There are tons of copies so you could keep it as a memento! It's better to read a book over and over again to understand it."

"Aye... Books, books and books." Lisanna grumbled "Can't these two ever stop talking about books?"

"Well Lisanna..." Lucy replied "At least Levy is glad that she has someone that's like her! There is one thing that's bugging me about Twilight though."

"What's that?" Lisanna curiously asked

"She sounds really familiar, but I can't put a finger on who it was..." Lucy wondered for a bit until her thoughts are interrupted by some screaming.

"There's some commotion going on over there!" Lucy said and they charged off to the direction of the screaming. Once they reached a clear path, they saw coming towards their path the Forest Vulcan with Fluttershy in its hands.

"Is that a Forest Vulcan?" Lisanna asked remembering the time when a Forest Vulcan grabbed her when she was a child and wanted to marry her.

"And that looks like... FLUTTERSHY!!! Oh no!" Twilight exclaimed

"Don't tell me Elfman, Macao and Wakaba got beat up!" Levy exclaimed in shock

"Rubbish!!! Elf-nii would never lose against a Vulcan!" Lisanna retorted in hope.

"In that case" Lucy said "We'd better stop it! And I know a good trap master for that!" With her magic, she pulled out a spirit key.

"Gate of the Maiden, I open thee!!! Virgo!!!" She chanted and a massive spell circle appeared with streams of magic pouring outwards. A Earth Pony lept out of the circle spinning around with her front hooves across her barrel, she had a pink body with a pink mane and tail sporting a maid outfit designed for ponies and her front legs had a shackle each. The pony than landed gently on the ground and bowed to Lucy

"Is it punishment time Princess?" Virgo asked

"Wha??? You're also a pony!? Why are you a pony!?" Lucy blurted shocked at the fact that her human celestial spirit has turned into a pony.

"I could say the same thing for you too Princess" was Virgo's calm response. "But I can say that in the Celestial Spirit World, all human-like Celestial Spirits have been changed into ponies as well, save Sagittarius."

"Wait... Why him?" Lucy asked confused

"Its because in the constellations, Sagittarius is half-horse and half-man." Twilight explained but which for some reason spurred Virgo into shock

"This is impossible! It can't be!" Virgo cried

"What? No way!" Twilight was also shocked too much to the confusion of the other three mares until it finally hit Lucy

"Oh! Now I see!" Lucy concluded relieved but worried

"Princess," Virgo asked solidly for Lucy's attention pointing her hoof to Twilight "Is this unicorn of any trouble to you? Its because it definitely seems to be trouble for me!"

"Nononono Virgo!" Lucy tried to explain "She's part of the team! She's not an enemy."

"WHAT IS GOING ON!?!?" Levy screamed "We demand to know!"

"This mare sounds like me!" Twilight and Virgo answered at the same time pointing at one another.

"That's something we can all agree on" Lisanna accepted giggling "All I heard was the same voice enhanced in volume!"

"Umm... We can sort that out later!" Lucy remembered "Right now I need you to dig a big enough trap for that Vulcan right here!"

"Understood" Virgo obeyed and began to dive into the ground.

"Woah!" Twilight was stunned "She can dive into the Earth?"

"Earth magic" Levy explained "They can dig into the ground and create holes without the use of a shovel."

After a neat pitfall was created covered with leaves, Virgo went back into the spirit world

"We will settle this another time, Purple Unicorn" Virgo remarked as she was dematerialising.

"Oh yeah? Then remember the name of Twilight Sparkle, because its mine!" Twilight retorted at the disappearing Virgo.

"How can you sound like Virgo?" Lisanna asked after that departing confrontation

"I have no idea." Twilight answered disappointedly

"Shush mares! The Vulcan is coming!" Levy whispered from the bushes huddled with Lucy. As Twilight and Lisanna hid in the bush opposite, the Vulcan started to approach the trap, but with a stroke of bad luck, the Vulcan failed to land a foot into the pitfall and trudged onward. However, something did fall in the trap, and the mares left their hiding spot to see what it was.

"Did we get it?" Lucy asked as they peered into the hole. When the smoke and dust had cleared, the mares were just shocked on what they have caught.

"Oh dear!!!" Levy exclaimed as Twilight levitated the three stallions out of the pit.

"Ouch... What was that for..." Macao said reeling from the pain

"I'm sorry! That pitfall was supposed to be for the Vulcan!" Lucy apologised fearfully

"Elf-nii! Are you alright?" Lisanna comforted

"Ugh... Must save Fluttershy... I promised her... A stallion never breaks his promise..." Elfman stuttered.

"In other words..." Twilight assessed "You stallions were chasing the Vulcan trying to rescue Fluttershy right?"

"That's right." Wakaba answered "plus, I think it said that it's got more ponies stashed to wherever his hideout is."

"Well, let's band together and chase him down!" Lucy said determined then realised, "If anyone's good at tracking footprints that is..." At that moment, the same goblin that Fluttershy cuddled stepped out of the bushes and started sniffing the air until it caught a scent. The goblin started making cute noises to get the groups attention, the goblin started walking the path where the Vulcan ran then turned around and started making noises again pointing at a direction.

"What is that goblin doing?" Levy asked

"I think its trying to lead us somewhere!" Twilight answered

"Hold on! How can we trust that goblin?" Lucy warned "It may be cute, but every animal has its own diabolical plans!"

"Now why would you think that?" Lisanna scolded pointing at the goblin "does its face look like the face of evil to you?"

"Now that I think about it." Macao assessed "that was the same goblin that Fluttershy cuddled."

"It looks like it picked up either the scent of Fluttershy or the Vulcan!" Wakaba exclaimed "It's telling us to follow him!"

"Then let's follow the little bugger!" Elfman addressed "This goblin is a stallion for helping strangers!"

"Or maybe it realised that we were friends of Fluttershy..." Twilight whispered to Lucy who giggled.


Elsewhere, Derpy Hooves was unhappily walking along a large brick building with the symbol of a blue head of a horse surrounded by two large blunt jagged feathers.

"This is my fault" Derpy said to herself "I promised Princess Celestia not to tell anyone. I didn't even want to tell anyone! Then this wouldn't have happened. This is all my fault, I'm really sorry Princess!" And burst into tears, a leg was then wrapped around her body, the leg belonged to a blue unicorn with a messy brownish blond mane

"Are you alright?" He comforted

"I'm a shoulder you can cry on!" A pink blond teenage unicorn came up and put Derpy's head on his back.

"Here are some tissues to help..." A yellow dark spiky maned unicorn just approached levitating a box of tissues for Derpy while he was looking in the opposite direction.

"Wha... What's going on?" Derpy asked confused

"There is nothing to worry about." The blue unicorn answered.
