Sora's Hidden Motives

Chapter 2: Recovering

Location: Ponyville Square
Time: a few minutes after impact
POV: Sora's

Everything hurt, my head... my torso.... my legs... and I can even feel my back was aching more than it should be. This was all that I could feel besides the heat from the burning console room.

Voices, soft ones that I could not make out the words to, started to speak. I was too far gone and slowly slipping away, back into unconsciousness, barely noticing the feeling of being lifted up and gently carried in the air, only one thought pierced through the darkness before I fell. Am I....dying?

Location: Library-Ponyville
Time: after hearing the sound of impact
POV: Twilight's

I only stood there, for a few moments at least, before alarms went off in my head and I rushed towards the sound of where the crash sounded, and sadly enough it was right in the middle of Ponyville. Yet when I got there, there were a lot of angry ponies surrounding the crater where their Celestia statue, given to them by the Princess herself,had once stood, wielding pitch forks, and rocks.

"Come out! You're surrounded!" Some of them were saying.

Some others were going for an old school term of, "Surrender yourself at once!"

As they spoke, all I thought of was, GREAT! This is all I need, and angry mob surrounding something that I need to get t-.

My train of thought, and the mob's angry remarks stopped as a weak groan sounded from the crater. From the crowd I could see some of my friends hop into the crater, and one swoop down due to her wings.

The first one down was of course Fluttershy, a nervous yellow mare with a light pink mane and tail. She is a pegasus pony that insists on staying on the ground due to some problems she had during her days in flight school up in cloudsdale. She is a slight push over, but behind innocent blue eyes, she can be a very tough mare, especially whenever her friends are in trouble. She was also one of the elements of harmony's bearers. The element of kindness.

The next to jump in was an orange mare, with a blonde mane and tail combo that were ironically tied at the ends in a ponytail fashion. The mare's green eyes were transfixed on Fluttershy. This mare was Applejack, the well known power house, apple bucking earthpony mare of ponyville, and also as another bearer of the elements of harmony. She was the element of Honesty.

My eyes spotted Rarity, a white unicorn with a purple mane that looked like it belonged to the modeling mare's of Equestria rather than ponyville, and she was slowly trotting down the side, her dark blue eyes searching the ground to make sure she doesn't get mud in her hooves most likely. Despite her constant care for being proper, and being a drama queen she was the bearer of the element, generosity.

Pinkie pie bounced into the crater, she was the element of laughter and then finally rainbow dash, a cyan pegasus with rainbow for her mane and tail, with determined rose eyes dove in. She was the element of loyalty, and well I rushed in myself with a teleportation spell. I was the element of magic, and I would not let my friends face whatever it was alo-

"What in the name of Celestia is this?" Twilight was surprised about the enormous object that was standing before them, a strong site.

Pinkie was suddenly by my side, and smiling excitedly. "Ooooo~! I wonder if it is a ship, but what kind of ship would look like this? I mean ships don't usually look like this, so if it isn't s ship what is it? *gaaaaaaaaaaasp* Maybe it is an aerial ship! Like the ones tha- *she continues to speak even though Applejack put her hoof over her mouth.

"Sugacube, stop talking and help us out with finding where Fluttershy heard that groan. At this, Pinkie nods and starts to bounce around, looking around the ship.

Eventually they would hear the groan again and followed it to a slightly singed cyan pegasus pony with strange clothes, and a light brown mane with tail. On his flank was a strange cutiemark, a sword that looked like a key, or perhaps a key that looks like a sword. Unlike mine that represents magic, rarity's for gems and fashion, pinkie's for partying, applejack's for apple bucking, fluttershy's for taking care of animal's, and rainbow dash's for her incredible speed, this one looked like a mystery.

That is, until we found the same object that was his cutie mark, laying next to him. A silver key shaped sword with a golden hilt, a leather-wrapped, blue handle, and a key chain with a symbol of a mouse on it.

Everpony was distracted for a few moments before I broke first and helped the pegasus onto applejack's back, taking a look at the key shaped thing and levitating it with me.

Location: Streets of Ponyville
Time: several minutes after getting the stallion tot he hospital

After getting the stallion to the hospital, me and the girls headed back to the library, well except pinkie pie, she staid there to see about some crazy, wacko explanation of hers was true again. Also to learn the stallion's name for the party she would eventually throw for him.

I was about to enter the Library when I heard applejack speak.

"So Twi' What ya got dere in yer grasp?" Applejack referred to the item that was in my magic aura.

"This strange object was found with him, the stallion, but i don't know what-" Suddenly a surge of magic erupted form it and it disappeared. "it is...."

The others stared at where it was a moment ago, wondering as I did, Where did it go!?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Hospital of Ponyville
POV: Pinkie Pie

I knew something was off about the pony, and I wanted my friends out of the way so I could ask the pony myself, but first I needed to get some of the hospital cookies! I know they aren't really that sugary and all, but for some reason they always taste so good!

Some groaning and some shuffling behind me stopped me from exiting the room, mostly because it was the sound of the stallion who I wanted to question, and also I accidentally left some party balloons next to the-

"Woah!" After the surprise, there was a sudden crash.

Bed....

"Ow, that really hurt." Slowly the stallion got up and groaned, looking around the room. "Where am i?"

I was next to him and giggling gently. "Well you are in ponyville space boy~"

The stallion jumped and sighed, guessing he had been found out, and turned to the pony, expecting to be greeted by a human face, but was rather greeted by the most pink creature he could ever see.

"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie! What's yooour name?" I asked in my usual bubbly attitude. This caused some of the stallion's tension to disappear before he game me a smile that could even rival mine one day.

"I'm Sora. Nice to meet you Pinkie pie."

Location: Canterlot Castle
Time: upon the initial crash
POV: Princess Celestia.

I was getting worried as of late, my magic was slowly fading around the world, to prevent the heartless form accumulating on the surface of Equestria, and if one of my subjects or Luna's looked close enough, they would see my ethernal mane and tail, both their usual multitude of colors, a bit unkempt, and my coat was so messy compared to usual.

Behind a facade of a smile with bright, purple eyes, she was growing tired and if this kept up, she would give out before the-

A royal guard broke into the throne room before the thought could be finished, much like the time during the Crystal Empire incident and his news brought hope and a considerable amount of my lost strength back. "Princess, news from the 'special patrol' the 'key' is here."

Celestia smiled, not a forced one that even fooled her sister Luna, but a genuine one, that would still be there if the keyblader saved them from the challenges they faced ahead.

Previews of Chapter 3
"Just who the hay are you!?"
"You don't belong on this world."
"I can't tell you."
Pinkie stared off, as if distracted by something.
Distant cries of ponies rang clearly.
In a flash of light the object appeared in his mouth.
"I will fight, and i won't give up."
Power empowers his heart and the connections between him and the others strengthen.
"Do you trust me?" Sora asked in a serious tone.

"We hope to see you there!"
"PINKIE!"
