//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: The Keyblader and the Lunar Princess // Story: Sora's Hidden Motives // by khandmlpfan //------------------------------// Location: Sugar Cube Corner P.O.V.: Pinkie Pie Time: An hour after the heartless swarm was wiped out I would be looking at the reader who was reading the fan fic curiously, wondering whether or not I should say hi as I gave sora some free cakes for saving everypony. I mean, come on I have to give him something before I threw him a 'welcome to ponyville' AND a 'thank you for saving ponyville' party. Giggling a bit at My own thoughts, I would bounce out of the kitchen with a chocolate cake with cyan icing with a white icing in the shape of a crown for him. Though after I got to him and set it down at the table with a happy smile, but just like the time with twilight and my pinkie sense, I started to shake uncontrollably for a few seconds then my knees and tail shook at once, then the tip of my mane blew to the right. I gasp as I felt like something was going to happen here in ponyville and it will be unexpected. Well for me, it will be expected, but for all those around me, they won't see it coming. Looking up, I would see Sora looking at me in concern, but I just smiled to him, waving his concern away. "It is nothing Sora, just my pinkie senses acting up. Something unexpected will happen here in ponyville." Sora smiled and then though of it for a second. "So something that normally wouldn't happen will?" At his question I nodded and it seemed to make hims mile a bit. "Well we better hope it isn't another heartless attack." With that I smiled and then walked off into the back, wondering who this pinkie sense prediction was for this time. Though not thinking much of it, I would bounce off and then sends my friends to talk with Sora while I go to the tree house to greet the pony that would be there soon. Location: fields outside of ponyville P.O.V.: Luna Time: moments before the pinkie sense kicks in I have landed outside the edge of Ponyville and I was instructing the guards to search for the heartless and the person controlling them, saying that the pony wore a strange black outfit with a hood on it. Also I told them to be careful since said pony can use magic that for surpassed the unicorns that are alive or have lived to date and that the pony was master of the sword in a way that surpassed even her master swordspony, Flash Kill. The commonly dark colored guards with demonic features all shake at the thought of someone far surpassing Flash kill, a dark blue coated unicorn with one working eye that was blood red and the other, sealed shut after an incident with a hydra. Though they knew that said pony clad in a full body suit of armor was taking this opportunity as a challenge. I would just think over what I have said and nods, sending them out to search the village as I cloaked myself and checks first the student of my sister's house. After all sister did not like it when her student is in trouble, it was a cruel reminder of 'that night'.... fuzzy images pass through my mind as phantom voices that said nothing ring in my ears. Shaking my head of the images and phantom voices, I would walk to the house of Twilight Sparkle and pushes the door open. My magic was ready to slay any of the black creatures if any of them jumped out, but luckily none did, besides that sometimes insufferable pinkie pie. The pink pony bounced in front of me with a grin. "Oh, hello princess, twi and the others are greeting our new friend and talking to him at the sugar cube corner. Come on!" My ears folded back as she forcibly drags me away from the tree house. "I think you are going to like him, he helped with those big mean black creatures that just stopped by here!" At first I struggled against the dragging until I heard of Twilight Sparkle's location, and the bit of information that I was given. Somepony who can slay them is here? And whipped them out by himself? We certainly do need to talk to said stallion. Without a spoken word to Pinkie, I stand up and follows her, wondering what this stallion would be like, if he would be built like Big Macintosh or a bit more athletic like Soaring from my sister's wonderbolts. Though, that was quickly dashed aside as I see some of my guards being shot out the restaurant. A single pony with a black jacket coming out with a spiky, light brown mane with sea blue eyes that has seen more wars, or rather fights than any living pony would in a lifetime. The pony skid to a stop and turned around as two lunar pegasi try to rush at him, and a weapon shines suddenly into existence inside of his mouth, which he used to slash them down without killing them, just knocking them out. The weapon disappears and the pony bolts down the street as Flash kill rushes out of the bakery. He had some icing on his face, and anger shined brightly form his eyes seen past his light blue helmet. "Stop, in the name of Princess Luna you are under arrest! pegasus division, fly up and try to cut off his escape path!" Flash yells out as he runs on after the seemingly ground bound pegasus that ran down the street. The site of Flash so mad made her giggle a bit as she stood there, watching with no interest in helping at all. Location: Sugar Cube Corner P.O.V.: Sora Time: few moments after the lunar guard is dispatched within the city I was feeling a bit odd as I sat there, Pinkie had left all of a sudden, leaving me with a slice of cake and the soft chatter of Twilight and her friends. It felt odd, just being suddenly accepted by them, but I could tell Twilight was the most curious about what happened in the town, since she kept staring at me in curiosity ever now and again. With a sigh, I would exit my thoughts and hears the last bit of the conversation which was a question directed at me. "What do you think about it Sora?" "Hm? Oh, I am sorry. I was distracted by my own thoughts, what was the topic again?" Giving an agitated sigh, Twilight would look to me. "We were talking about those strange creatures and why they all of a sudden show up. They seemed.... terribly brutal for some small things." Thinking I could at least tell them about the creatures, I would look seriously to her and sigh a bit. "They are called heartless, because they are people who have lost their hearts to their dark emotions, and became things running on primal instinct, never with a heart like you or I. And before you ask how somepony can live without a hear,t it is hard to explain... Lets just say... they are void of any interest besides turning ponies into things like them..." "You forgot to tell them that people like you attract them!" Sora spun around to see a sword going for his head, ducking to avoid it, he watches it wiz over his head and in-bed itself into the wall. Moving quickly, sora shoved the cake he had into the face of the pony as three more walk in, two form back and one form the front. The one form the front of the store charges and I would rear up and buck him out the shop before running out after him. Behind you... Roxas' voice sounded and I summoned the keyblade as I turned around. As the kingdom key comes forth from the light, I would smash the blunt end on the back of their necks and watch them crumble to the ground, unconscious. Once I knew they were out cold, I dismiss the keyblade and rushes down the street as a pony within full body armor, the same one that attacked me with the sword, rushes out of Sugar Cube Corner. I didn't bother to listen to him since I was running for my life. Though for some reason I think that my day was about to get even worse.... far worse...
