//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: Soul Reaper // by cellum95 //------------------------------// The new Soul Reapers, Twilight, Pinkie and Octavia, when they got to their old forms, stopped near the edge of Ponyville itself. "So what are we gonna do again?" Pinkie asked Twilight. "Because we can't risk of anypony being suspicious about us, we need to be swift just for them not to see us." Twilight replied. "So that means we need to use our Flash Steps." Octavia added. "Exactly. Now, let us go home." Twilight said as she, Pinkie and Octavia uses their Flash Steps to go back home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight, the new crowned princess of Equestria, returned home after that encounter. But she was worried that Spike would see her in her new Captain robes. 'I do hope Spike didn't see me like this.' Twilight said in her mind with a growing nature of uncertainty. But when checks on Spike's room, he was fast asleep. Twilight sighed in relief, and she began to trot towards her room. Once there, her eyes began to shut and she is now in a deep sleep. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie got to her home, the Sugarcube Corner. She looked around, trying to be cautious not to alert the Cake couples and their foals. She began to trot towards their room, and she could see them sleeping well. 'Well that's a start.' Pinkie thought as she trotted towards her room. Once there, she goes into her bed and sleep quickly overcomes her. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Octavia got to her house pretty quick, thanks to her new ability, Flash Step. However, she was also mindful that she must not get Vinyl know her secret, so she checks on her room, just to find Vinyl sleeping. 'Well that's a good sign. She will never know my secret.' Octavia thought as she trotted towards her own room, and after a quick check, she falls down to deep slumber -Next Day- Twilight woke up with jolted start. She got used to sleep with her new robes, although at first it was very deeply uncomfortable. 'Well the first thing to do: eat breakfast and meet with the old stallion.' She thought in her head as she trotted down from the stairs. When she trotted down, she was greeted by breakfast, made by Spike himself. "Hello Twi-Whoa! Where did you get that cool robe?" "It's a long story, and I don't want to talk about it." Twilight replied. "Come now. Let's eat breakfast before I would go somewhere else." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie woke up with a smile on her face, knowing now that she could totally hurt the bad guys with her new powers. She got up from bed, and fixed it up. 'Today is a brand new day.' She happily thought as she trotted down to eat her breakfast. But when she is downstairs, she is greeted by the Cake couple. "Hello Pink-What happened to you?" Mrs. Cake asked. "I don't want to talk about it. Anyways, let's eat!." Pinkie said in joy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Octavia woke up, like Twilight, in a jolt. She stand up from her bed and fixed it nice and tighty. Speaking of which, she was starving. She goes out of her room, and trotted towards the kitchen, and finds Vinyl awake, making breakfast. 'What am I suppose to do now?' Octavia thought as she got into her chair, with Vinyl going into her seat, with the breakfast already finished. "Hello Tavi. I could see you have new clothing right there." Vinyl said. "Why thank you. But if you ask me where did I get it, I will not tell you, even though you will force me to. Now, let us just eat our breakfast." Octavia replied. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After eating their respective meals, Twilight, Pinkie and Octavia meet up in front of Twilight's home. "Now what are we gonna do? Although we didn't even divulge any information, we are now having suspicious eyes from anypony." Twilight said. "What are we gonna do?" Pinkie asked. "Let's just get out of here." Octavia suggested. With a nod of approval, they used Flash Step and pray that their friends didn't see that. -Cave- The mares got into the cave, the same cave which they trained first-hoof their Zanpakuto's. Greeting them was the same old stallion. "Greetings. I do hope you didn't have anything to worry about, do you?" "Excuse me Mr., but our friends are having an eye of suspicion at us because of our robes. What are we gonna do now?" Twilight asked the stallion. "Hm...I will think about it later. Right now, I will teach you some Soul Reapers do, using kido spells." He replied. "What are kido spells?" Pinkie asked. "These kinds of spells are very unique, because they don't require normal unicorn horns. Also, they could be use against an enemy." "How do they work?" Octavia asked in curiosity. "Here let me demonstrate." The stallion said, bringing up a life-sized pony doll, in which the mares shiver in fear. The stallion performed first a triangular-shape pattern with his hoof, and said: "Shitotsu Sansen." In an instant, the triangular shape light attacked the pony doll, and it was pinned to the cave wall. "That was awesome! Could you do it again?!" An anonymous voice said. They turned around and could see Rainbow Dash in the cave entrance. 'Oh buck you Rainbow Dash.' Twilight cursed in her head.
