//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Boris Possessed! // Story: To Kill A Young One // by JusSonic //------------------------------// Chapter 2: Boris Possessed! At the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom, Tao and his family were discussing and chatting together about their times after they had been through the visiting and touring around the area. This family had a great time! Unknown to them, Twilight and her friends guided Andrew to the kingdom castle. They can't wait to reunite Andrew with his own family! Spike and Phobos were about to opened the door. Andrew breathed deeply. Twilight, noticing, ask, "Mr. Andrew? Is there something wrong?" Andrew sighs, shaking his head as he explains, "I'm not sure of how they react to me." "Hey, I betcha they missed you big time." "Twilight's right; just give it a chance." Nyx said to Andrew with a smile. "I know they would be happy to see you again." "Right, they are family after all." Rarity adds in agreement to the conversion. If the white unicorn hadn't seen her family in ages, she knows that they would be happy to see her again as well. "Come on, let's go on in!" Rainbow insists to Andrew with a smirk. "We got your back!" Andrew smiled, saying, "I hope so..." Spike and Phobos pushed the door open, entering the castle. They all saw Tao and his family were looking at glass portraits of Twilight and her friends defeating Tirek. Twilight cleared her throat. Tao and his family turned to her and her friends, seeing the group coming into the castle. "SURPRISE," Pinkie exclaims as she moves aside to reveal, to the shock and surprise of Tao and the family, Andrew who trot forward, smiling. "Brothers; Nephews; Son," Andrew exclaims as if happy to see his family for the first time in ages. Tao gasped before groaning angrily, "CHU HU (GET OUT)!" The Mane Six's group suspects that something is wrong. Mystic Hard nodded his head angrily. Dragon Kick turned to the front; ignoring his own father. Mama Heart and Mighty Heart groaned angrily. The Teenage Ninja Ponies Four looked up, without looking at him. Jade looked confused. Twilight and her friends look shocked, confused or concerned. "Weird." Fluttershy said puzzled. "They acted like they aren't happy to see him." "Yeah, Ah mean when it comes 'mah cousin Tough Apple, something is always wrong." Applejack admits to her friends in bewilderment. "Right, but these ponies look like they really hate Andrew fer some reason." Apple Bloom remarked, looking concerned. Her friends look bewildered as she is. Why is Andrew's family not wanting to even look at him? "Uh, Dragon Kick? Tao, ponies?" Twilight ask in concern, making some of the family turn and glaring angrily at Andrew. "What's going on?" "Right, at least answer us." Ben said, wanting some answers to this sudden change of behavior. Dragon Kick, not looking of course, was the first to speak, snapping furiously at Andrew, "What are you doing here?!" "Are you and others upset about... things?" Andrew asks his son calmly as if he had deal with this before. "I'm not. I'd say you're a cool uncle, Uncle Andrew." Roughstrike said, much to the chagrin of two of his brothers. "Rough! Don't encourage him! You're making him worse or making Dragon Kick upset!" Twintwist snaps to Roughstrike in annoyance. "But still, Uncle Andrew is an awesome uncle." Funlaugh said with a shrug, not seeing the point of this problem. Techno sighed, "For being a troublemaker, of course." Mama Heart huffed angrily. Mighty Heart sighed in concern. Mystic Hard glared at Andrew. Dragon Kick snarls, "Yes, I am still upset," He turned and glared at Andrew, "about things!" "You never learn and changed. Not even one bit." Tao said sternly to Andrew as if knowing something that Twilight and the others doesn't seem to know. Andrew sighed lightly and upset. He thought for the moment, then smiled before speaking, "I have some way to get my upset nature off; my fist!" To the Equestrian ponies' surprise and confusion, Andrew thrust his fist at Dragon Kick, who quickly blocked it on his right. He then jumped and kicked Andrew's chest right back. The father shook his head. He jumped up and punched at Dragon Kick, who dodged to his left before he jumped kick over his head. Andrew dodged down, and swiped his leg against Dragon Kick's. The son jumped up before landed down and punching on him, Andrew dodged the attack and punched back. Dragon Kick punched back again and dodged the attacks from Andrew. The gang looks shocked and concerned, with Pipsqueak asking in worry, "Why are they fighting like this?!" "Yeah, it's like they got years of aggression and anger to give out here!" Button Mash exclaims in agreement. "Hey, hey, watch it!" Spike exclaims as the two Mystic Ponies were close in breaking stuff in the house. "We just got this place redecorated!" "Stop punching holes in my home!" Twilight exclaims frantically to the father and son. "Stop it, please!" Fluttershy exclaims in a panic. Dragon Kick kicked Andrew's chest hard to the back. Tao and Mystic Hard jumped up and punched Andrew's head hard, making him turned back. They quickly punched on his chest. Andrew swipes their punches on both sides, before punching and pushing Tao and Mystic Hard's chests hard back. They did the routine for about three times before Tao jumped and kicked on Andrew's head while Mystic Hard swiped down on the ground. Andrew jumped in the middle while spinning himself. Andrew turned to the front. Dragon Kick punched his chest and head for about three times. Tao and Mystic Hard galloped and kicked Andrew to the wall. Dragon Kick came and held his father to the wall hard. This match is about to end right here. Andrew smiled while commentating, "I see you had trained well since I introduce you to Martial Arts." Dragon Kick groaned in anger. Andrew looked on his right and smirked. "But there's one thing, you are still lacking." "And what would that be, dad?!" Dragon Kick snaps angrily to Andrew. "Strategy." Andrew took Rainbow's Magical Nunchucks, and slammed on Dragon Kick's head, making him yelp in pain, "Ow!" "Hey?! How did my nunchucks get to there," Rainbow asks in shock as she searches herself, finding her nunchucks missing. Did Andrew take them off of her without the Pegasus pony realizing it like he did with Rarity?! Dragon Kick, letting go, rubbed his head gently, while looking away from him. Andrew smirks while asking, "Isn't it marvelous, son? Just like old times." "If this is one of old times, you would have stolen something." Hard said sternly to his brother. Tao nodded as he demands, "Put them back!" Andrew shrugged. "Put both Undine Ring and Rainbow's Magical Nunchucks back!" Andrew groaned in annoyance, taking out both Magical Nunchuks and Undine Ring, which he also swiped during the battle, from his straw hat. He passed them to bot Twilight and Rainbow Dash. The two looks bewildered and concerned. "Tao, Dragon Kick, Hard, what the hay is this about," Twilight ask the mentioned ponies in concerned. "Right, what's your problem with Andrew all of the sudden?" Pinkie asks with a pouty look. "When we brought Andrew here, we thought this was going to be a great family reunion, not a grudge fest!" Phobos remarks with a frown. "At least give a reason for wanting to kick his flank!" "Right, we want answers!" Nyx exclaims, wanting answers as well. Tao sighed, "I hate to say this but I had no choice. My friends, this is our younger brother and Dragon Kick's father and Jade's ancestor: Mystic Andrew Thief." "'Mystic Andrew Thief'," Twilight and her friends ask in shock and surprise upon hearing the game. "Thief is his last name?" Sweetie asks, turning her head a bit in confusion and concern. "Thief isn't just a name, but also his hobby, occupation and excusable ambition! Andrew is nothing more but a thief, smuggler and conpony." Hard snaps angrily, glaring at his brother for his thievery and whatnot. "And he is leaving!" Andrew gasped, "You wouldn't do that?! I won't last a day!" "Wait a minute! Tao said you're a thief?" Twilight ask in shock and disbelief. Now the Alicorn realize why the Dark Mystic Ponies could be after Andrew earlier. "Then, that means -!" "You stole something from them?! What did you steal?!" Ben demands to Andrew in suspicion. Andrew insists innocently, so to speak, "Nothing! I just merely sold a priceless jade statue to them, but not exactly real. But worth my effort to earn monies." "What were you thinking?!" Tao ask his brother in shock and disbelief. Bad enough that Andrew would trick and deal from mortals but doing the same thing to Dark Mystic Ponies is suicide! "Tricking the mortals was one thing, but tricking Dark Mystic Ponies or something dangerous could get you into trouble!" "Hai (Yes)! And especially the enemy we had hated the most in our lives! He or they could have killed you!" Hard exclaims in agreement. While he may be upset at his brother, seeing him get killed is something that the two brothers prefer not to happen. Andrew scoffed while waving a hoof off in dismissal, "But I escaped, didn't I? After all, you are talking to one magnificent, great, cautious and skillful thief in history!" "Which I hated it so much! And I really want you to stop it!" Dragon Kick snaps to his father. Andrew has disgraced the family's name with his thieving like ways way too much! And that isn't the only thing that the Mystic Pony had done. "Stop what?!" "Stop lying! That's what I hate you the most! A liar! A cheater! Untrustworthy! Disgrace! Dishonorable! And above of all... Make up everything about yourself which was not true! Do you have any idea of how much pain and confusion I had as a child?!" Andrew huffed at this, "I assure you that I am not making things up -!" Mystic Hard, Tao and Dragon Kick angrily cut Andrew off, yelling furiously, "GET OUT!" Mama nodded in agreement, pointing his hoof while demanding, "You are nothing but a Black Pony to your family's name. Unlike my son, he hasn't done entirely wrong in his life." Might Heart sighed and spoke softly, "If only you knew it, mommy." If Mama Heart knew of his past, she wouldn't have said that. Andrew sighed in concern. Twilight and her friends look worried and scared. They remembered how Tough Apple was cast out of his family for his bad temper. They don't want another pony from another family to continue feeling like the Earth Pony had once felt. It isn't right. "Tao, Mystic Hard, Dragon Kick, please reconsider." Twilight begs to the mentioned in worry. "Eeyup; It isn't right, Ah mean, 'dis is like how mah cousin Tough Apple used 'ta be treated." Applejack said in agreement with the princess. "Come on; don't cast your brother out! So what he got a Kleptomaniac problem? Some ponies do!" Rainbow exclaims in concern. "Please, please, don't be big meanie pants!" Pinkie said, giving out puppy dog eyes look. Of course, it appears that the trio's decision stands firm. Hard was preparing to leave until Twintwist cries out in worry, "Sensei, wait! You can't do that!" "Yeah! What about the whole brother together thing?" Roughstrike exclaims, reminding the sensei of one important lesson in the training. "Affirmative; Unite we stand, divided they fall. Isn't what you had taught us when we were kids?" Techno ask Hard in reminder as well. "Don't forget, cous. He is your dad." Funlaugh said, pointing out a fact, even if it's a bad one, to Dragon Kick. "Please, Dragon Kick, you can't throw your father out, just because he is a thief." Jade pleads to Dragon Kick in worry. She doesn't want this meeting to end badly just because Andrew made some terrible mistakes in the past. Dragon Kick thought for the moment. He glared at Twilight and her friends before looking at the concerned Andrew. He sighed while giving in, "Fine; One night. That's all." If his dad can avoid stealing and causing trouble, who knows? Andrew smiled, asking Dragon Kick, "How can I thank you, son?" "By leaving as soon as possible!" Tao turned to Twilight and her friends, speaking sternly to them, "I want you and your friends keep an eye on Andrew Thief." The group looks startled and concerned by this request to keep an eye on Dragon Kick's father. Tao continued, "One more thing. Locked all of your valuable and important values and treasures insides tight and secured," He waved to his family while adding, "In fact, Andrew should know that we all heading out for some tourism." "Can I -?!" Andrew was about to ask if he could come along, only for him to get cut off. Tao's family but Jade and the Teenage Ninja Ponies Four snaps sternly, "NO!" They all headed out, leaving despair and upset Andrew. Twilight and her friends look worried and concerned for him. This won't be as easy as one would think it to be at all. -------------- Celestia's son knew that there's only one certain pony to turn to in this moment of crisis. Ben explained everything to Chase about Andrew Thief. Interestingly enough, the mentor look surprised upon hearing this. "Andrew Thief; As in Mystic Thief," Chase ask Ben in shock. "You know him?!" Ben asks Chase in surprise. Chase shook his head, adding, "I heard the story about him. He was known to be the very first Rogue Mystic for stealing bits and artifacts, and even tricking and lying to anyone, even his own family." "Aw man... That's some tough and hard for Tao and his family." Chase sighed, "You had no idea, Ben." Shadow Dragon has never met Andrew Thief at all. He ponders what the thief was even thinking, stealing from the Dark Mystic Ponies like that. "Is there any way we can help him? You know... Get him together with his family." Ben suggests hopefully to Chase. There must be some way to redeem Andrew in the eyes of his family. Chase sighed, shaking his head as he answers, "No... It's up to Andrew to make a choice. We can help him, but it was up to him to help himself on the right decision. I'm sorry." Ben sighed, "You're right. But thanks again." It was worth a shot for Chase to help. Ben exited Chase's home. Once he's gone, the so-called good stallion transformed into his Shadow Dragon self. This whole situation is getting a bit complicated now that Andrew's involved. "What are you up to, Uncle Andrew? Are you part of... our enemy: Shredkiller's plan?" Shadow Dragon mumbles to himself with a frown. "If it is, you'd better not involve our family into this. Coz if you do, I will kill you." --------------- The Mane Six and their friends sat at Sugarcube Corner a bit cornered and down. They thought that it would be an eventful reunion between Tao, Hard and Andrew...but it ended up being a bad one indeed. "Wow, and I thought Tough Apple meeting Applejack again was hard enough." Rainbow remarks, shaking her head a bit. "Right, how can one even try 'ta reunite a friend wit' his own family," Applejack asked in agreement with her friend. "We should find a way to reunite those ponies." Fluttershy said in concern. "I don't want the father and son's be broken forever." "Listen, ponies, I got two words." Rainbow said with an eager and hopeful smile, "Theme park." "Rainbow Dash," Twilight said to Rainbow with a frown. Why must her friend insist that a theme park would fix everything? "Come on, Twilight! My theme park is a family-oriented one! I mean, you will make sure nothing's fishy's going on and Discord got anti-theft collars." Rainbow explains to Twilight proudly while holding up some sparkling collar. "When any thief wears on, it will keep him or her from stealing anything." "No offense and I know you're trying to help, Rainbow, but wouldn't that make things worse?" Ben asked Rainbow in concern at the collar. "We're trying to improve relationships, not make things worse by treating Andrew like a criminal." "Yeah, she's right." Spike said with a nod while looking through a notepad. "Besides, the theme park idea is supposed to be fun, not a torture house!" "Yeah, you're right." Rainbow remarked with a shrug, putting the collar away. "But still, we could invite the whole family for some fun and games. Come on, if Andrew could get a chance, this will help!" Twilight did a facehoof at this. Why is Rainbow sticking with this stupid, unnecessary idea? "Rainbow has a point. Tao's family is here for a while, Darling." Rarity said to Twilight with a thoughtful look. "May as well give them and Andrew some fun to help, how to say...reconnect?" "Yes, sounds like fun, come on!" Pinkie exclaims, bouncing up and down eagerly. "Ohhhhh, fine; it's still a stupid, unnecessary idea, but fine!" Twilight exclaimed with a groan; May as well get it over with so that Rainbow will shut up about bugging her to do the idea. "Yes!!!" Rainbow exclaimed as she pumped her hoof. She knew she could convince Twilight! "But after that, Rainbow Dash, I think I found someone to take my frustration and anger out on when I go training my fighting skills." Twilight said in a threatening tone. Rainbow gulped nervously at hearing this. --------------------------- Pinkamena was reading her book before her senses go off as she said, "Gang, I have a feeling evil deeds are coming." The others look at her as Golden Heart asked, "How evil?" "Something very dark, but I have a plan. Let's tell all the foals about the plan fast. Havis Autumn, Sombra, you stay and hold the fort and Goldie, Omega, I think it's time we test out the illusion skills." Pinkamena explained quickly. This must be done before trouble arrives. The others are puzzled but nod as Pinkamena moves followed by Gold Wing, Golden Heart and Omega. She says to the folks watching, "No filly or colts will die in such a way but maybe I will let them think they did die." ----------------- The Mane Six and the CMC begins work on passing out fliers for the theme park tomorrow. Rainbow was excited for this, though still nervous over Twilight's threat. Hopefully, family time will help Tao's family reconnect with Andrew. Unknown to the group, someone is in the shadows, moving eerily and quietly, loading some sort of gun. The mysterious one nods as he aims his gun out carefully...at a certain little colt with Thunderlane. "Hey, Thunderlane; Got a new flier for my theme park!" Rainbow exclaims as he passes a flier to Thunderlane. "Hope to see you there." "Awesome," Thunderlane exclaimed with a grin at the flier. "This looks cool." "Hey Rumble!" Scootaloo exclaimed, calling out to Rumble who came over. "Listen, we're holding auditions for new members of the CMC." "Right, since you got no cutie mark, we figured you could come and join in." Button Mash said to Rumble with a smile. "Can I, Thunderlane?" Rumble asked his brother eagerly. Before Thunderlane could answer, Pinkie began twitching a bit, yelping, "Ooh, oooh!" "Uh-oh; Pinkie Sense," Applejack said in concern, noting her friend's worried look. "What's going on 'dis time, Pinkie?" "Someone is in the shadows...about to strike." Pinkie said, looking around. "And it's coming from...." The figure nodded as he opened fire, firing a rocket right at the CMC...an explosion occurred seen, knocking everyone back. As everyone cleared up, they gasped as remains of the CMC appear to be on the ground, along with Rumble. "No!" Thunderlane gasps in horror. His little brother is gone! "Nyx," Twilight exclaimed, freaking out in horror and outrage. Her baby and her friends are gone! "Who did this?!" Rarity demanded angrily, looking around. "In the shadows," Pinkie exclaimed as she quickly zipped into the shadows. Before the figure could escape, the pink pony head butts him out into the open. "Not so fast, murdering meanie!" The group gasps as the figure got up, revealing to somepony that they once knew: it's Boris! But the villain got up, looking at the good guys in blank eyes. Something's wrong with him but the good guys are too upset to notice. "Boris! You murderer," Rainbow yelled furiously, getting her Nunchuck gun out. "It's okay!" Golden Heart exclaimed as he, Gold Wing and Omega suddenly appeared on the scene. "They're alive. Pinkamena used an illusion to make a switch." "See? They're safe." Pinkamena said as she put down the CMC and Rumble, alive and well. "No foal gets killed on my watch." Hearing this made the ponies, Spike and Phobos sigh in relief. "Damn it! I'd never thought Boris could do such a thing!" Twilight exclaims angrily. She thought Boris would even think of harming foals but now, that villain who lust for her all her life had gone too far this time! "But he won't get away with it!" Boris didn't answer as he grab his sword and is aiming right at Apple Bloom and Pipsqueak. Applejack asks in horror, "Apple Bloom! Pipsqueak! Noooooo!" Boris held his sword up and slammed his weapon right towards both Apple Bloom and Pipsqueak. But before there is blood to be shed for real, Funlaugh appear from out of nowhere and grabbed both of them aside. The pony smirks as he ask, "Miss us?" Sure enough the Teenage Ninja Ponies Four arrive on the scene, preparing to help their friends fight off Boris. Twintwist glances at Boris who appears to be in some sort of daze, asking, "So that's Boris? Man, he's ugly." "Make it, extremely ugly." Roughstrike remarks with a light chuckle. This oughta be interesting. "I know he hates the Earth Pony, but... I'd never thought that he would do such a thing." Techno said, noting Boris's dazed look...as well as familiar cat iris-like eyes, like the ones that Nightmare Moon and her followers either have or use to have. Since when did Boris become a new follower of the cult? It is not around anymore! Boris growled as he roars, causing some Lava Stallions to appear, much to the ponies' shock and alarm. The villain has called in backup to deal with his enemies in his insane plan. "Princess Twilight, you and your friends must stop Boris's Lava Stallions at once. We'll hold Boris for a while." Twintwist said to Twilight in determination. Boris knows how to deal with the Mane Six and their friends but the Teenage Ninja Ponies Four heroes are four that the traitor to Equestria had yet to deal with. "Well, guess what I hate the most; A pony who is very much racism to any kind of ponies. Get smack down, punk!" Roughstrike exclaims, getting his sais out and preparing to take on Boris. Roughstrike jumped and slammed Boris to the ground hard. He punched on the villain's face for ten times. Boris groaned in anger, kicking Roughstrike right off himself. Apparently the villain has gotten a bit stronger. Twintwist and Funlaugh held their weapons: twin swords and twin nunchucks. They swung their weapons against Boris, who quickly dodged and avoided the attacks for a few times. Twintwist swung his blades on his head and chest before kicking at Boris's chest hard. Funlaugh jumped on Twintwist's back, which helped him jumped up. He then swung his nunchucks like a helicopter, kicking at Boris's head for a few times. He gave a final kick onto the villain's head hard. Techno swiped his pole against the legs of Boris, making him fell down. Roughstrike grabbed the mad villain and punched his face for a few and several times. He swung Boris around and around for ten times, before throwing him at both Twintwist and Techno who begins punching on the enemy's face hard. Funlaugh slammed and kicked Boris's head to the ground hard. During this time, Twilight and her friends quickly work on removing any fillies and colt, especially the Earth Ponies ones from the Lava Stallions. Apple Bloom, Button Mash and Pipsqueak screamed in fear and concern. Five Lava Stallions were about to slam their hooves. Andrew slide himself down on the ground and grabbed Apple Bloom, Button Mash and Pipsqueak. He quickly kicked at five Lava Stallions to the ground. He then punched and kicked on two to three Lava Stallions. Twilight, Ben and Nyx, in Battle Mode, quickly uses their magic to blast the Lava Stallions to pieces. Rainbow spins around, making a tornado to send the enemies packing. Pinkie fires pastries to stick it to the Lava Stallions, allowing Applejack to jump in and performs some bucking movies to really smash her opponents to pieces. Rarity uses her diamonds move to absorb some of the blasts and send it back at the lava ones, causing them to blow up. Fluttershy uses her Stare and even her other moves as well. Even Tao and his family who arrived on the scene did not waste any time in using their moves to put the smash down on their enemies. Andrew kicked and punched against couple of Lava Stallions on their heads, chests and limbs to the ground before they disappeared. Twintwist, Roughstrike, Techno and Funlaugh swung their weapons at Boris's head. The villain moaned painfully. They were about to attack but he disappeared in black smoke. Looks like Boris is defeated...for now. "Awww, man," Funlaugh groans a bit in disbelief. "We almost took him down." "Well, good riddance!" Roughstrike exclaims angrily. "If he even shows up again, the jerk's dead!" "Andrew...thanks for helping us." Twilight said to Andrew with a smile. "Right; had yew not interfere, mah sister, as well as Button Mash an' Pipsqueak would've been hurt by those Lava Stallions." Applejack said with a smile, happy that her sister and her friends are okay. "Yeah, thanks, Andrew!" Pipsqueak exclaims with a smile at Andrew's save. "Well, Tao, looks like Andrew did all right." Fluttershy said to Tao with a smile. Tao groans then he sighs, saying, "I admit it. You've done well in your duty. But I'm still angry with you for what you had done!" "Agreed! As soon as you are done here, I want you to get out of here by tomorrow morning!" Hard exclaims sternly to his brother. The Mane Six's group looks concerned. Despite the fact that Andrew had help saved the day for now, his family still doesn't trust him! "Son, you wouldn't..." Andrew said to Dragon Kick, trying to at least get some sympathy or hope. Dragon Kick shakes his head, saying, "It's best of that way, father." "Fine; I understand; Just one night." "Twilight, take him back to your castle. My family and I will be staying here for two days, keeping an eye on him." Tao said to Twilight's group sternly. Andrew sighed and turned left. Twilight and her friends followed Andrew, all the way back to the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom. Scootaloo frowns as she speaks, "Geez, what's wrong with your family lately, Tao?" "Yeah, gotta agree with Scoots, Andrew." Rainbow said with a nod. "Come on, you got to at least tell us what happened that causes your family to driven you out in the first place." "Is it because of your thieving habits?" Twilight ask Andrew, wanting to help him. Andrew sighed, "It's best... not to know anything about it." ---------------- Flare Tiger nodded as she listen to other ponies' complains about problem of theirs until Pinkamena, Golden Heart and Gold Wing trotted into the chamber as Flare Tiger looked up with a smile as she held up her hoof that's she want them to wait for her to finish the solution. Flare Tiger walked over to the ponies and talked with them until they gasped and blushed in shame. Then they're nodded and trotted away. Flare Tiger turned and walked over to Pinkamena, Golden Heart, and Gold Wing. Flare Tiger smiled as she asks, "What's brings ya here? Wait, let me guess, something involved with murdering those children? Well almost." Golden Heart baffled then asks, "How..." He and his sister didn't bring up what happened with Boris just yet! How did Flare Tiger found out just now? Pinkamena giggled, "Nice catchy! By way, is Golden Moon's here?" Flare Tiger nodded and whistle and wait until Golden Moon flew into chamber. Gold Wing's beak is wide open in shock to see Golden Moon when she land on Flare Tiger's front leg, which was held up. Flare Tiger smiled while saying, "Meet mah dear pet, Golden Moon." Golden Heart whistle, "I could see that's a rare phoenix but with a symbol on it's head, that's rarest that I never seen before." Pinkamena giggled as Flare Tiger chuckled, "Well, Look like Gold Wing didn't speak for himself." Golden Heart looked back and saw Gold Wing stare at Golden Moon. She then noticed his shocked look and laughed. Golden Heart smiled while saying to his pet, "Gold Wing, go ahead, ask her out." Gold Wing nodded and chirps to Golden Moon. The female phoenix giggled and chirps back with a blush. Gold Wing flew in whoop circles. They laughed at the scene as Flare Tiger turned and walked over to the meeting. Flare Tiger decided to look back to Golden Moon who looked at Flare Tiger. Flare Tiger smiled while saying to Golden Moon, "Go ahead, ya need it." Golden Moon nodded and flew along with Gold Wing. Flare Tiger head back to the meeting and at the same time, Pinkamena and Golden Heart sigh and trotted to head outside. They started looked out for more danger that may came into Ponyville, especially when Andrew's around. --------------- Boris groans as he got up, holding a hoof to his forehead. The villain got a huge headache...how odd. Boris doesn't even remember what happened a while ago. One moment, he was speaking with T. Moon...the next, Boris is here. "Got to lay off the apple cider," Boris groans a bit as he got up and get some food out of the fridge. "Weird, I feel like I was gone." A knock came at the door as Boris opens it. Trix, Bocolix and Dumbledore came in, looking worried, upset and/or shock, maybe all in that door. Trix demands, "Boris, we must talk." "Can it wait? I got a headache!" "You will get another one after we're done! Where were you?" "I don't remember!" Boris groans to Trixie, his headache's getting worst. "I don't recall, I know that I wasn't out today. I was here like I said I was!" "Shows what you know!" Bocolix chuckles to Boris, much to the villain's puzzled state. "We saw you leave with the Lava Stallions!" "Yeah, you left to shoot down some foals!" Dumbledore laughs stupidly, making Boris gasps in shock. The Alicorn blinks then realizes. "Wait, hang on. That's not good." "It isn't good! Boris, did I hear right?! Did you almost kill some foals today?!" Trix ask upset and a bit hurt over what happene4d. "No! I didn't do such a thing!" Boris exclaims to Trix in shock that she and his minions would eve think that. "It's a coward's move to attack a foal or young ones. I won't stoop to that level; Even if it's Earth Pony filth. I don't fight that way and never did." "I don't understand, Boris. I thought you hated Earth Ponies." Dumbledore said to Boris confused. "I do, Dum-Dum. But killing or hurting innocent ponies, especially young ones and foals, is a shameful act. I have my standards and my honor to protect." "Honor? But you're a dishonest fraud, Boris." Bocolix points out to Boris, reminding the villain of his frauds. "I know that, Boxco! But even a dishonest fraud like me…can have honor. And hurting young ones is the most dishonorable act of cowardice." Boris snaps to Bocolix angrily. "Until today; I don't know what got into you but you did try to harm some foals from what the Lava Stallions told me after you got back!" Trix exclaims angrily to Boris, much to his shock and confusion. How could she still think this way about him?! "Until you admit the truth, I am staying away from you! I can't believe you would be a coward to not even do that!" Trixe storms out of the room, upset by the lies that she is being told. Bocolix and Dumbledore looks concerned then shrugs as they head out of the room, closing the door on the way out. Boris looks bewildered. He can't believe that the trio would think that he himself almost killed some foals! Boris doesn't even remember about the Blessing that T. Moon has given him either...
