Wars scars run deep

Lizard Wing

The transport had run out of magic, but being out of the forest, Pterosaur knew the Timbre-hounds wouldn`t follow.
"Come on, we`ll walk" he said getting out.

It was still night but the road they were on was familiar, the one Twilight had used to get to the forest in the first place with her friends. Stepping out she looked around, Pterosaur moved the cabinet out of the transport.

"Come on, we better get moving before you start to get missed" he said closing the hatch of the transport.

Both of them started to walk away, when the sky started to turn red and a shockwave echoed from behind them. Twilight stopped and turned, the transport there where in had exploded!

She gulped that could have happen when there we inside! "Come on Ponyville`s not that far away, we can make it before sun raise I think?" she stated taking the led. Pterosaur followed with the cabinet sitting safely on his wings.

The starry night sky glissaded in Pterosaurs eyes, he was used to night full of explosion and fire, not peace and tranquillity, the old soldier simple continued to walk with a frown on his face, as Twilight talked to him about Ponyville and Princess Celestia

"So when we get back to Ponyville, we have to contact Princess Celestia so then we can keep this documents safe, then you can meet everypony, then how about we try and get you out of the suit?" she would have yammered on but Pterosaur spoke.

"The suit doesn`t come of for a reason, I have be deformed the experiments that gave me this suit, also took away the pony who I was, and I don`t want anypony to see him broken like he is" he said not refusing to himself as 'me' but 'he' like before the suit he was somepony else.

"What did they do to you?" asked Twilight quietly

"Took away my face, my past, my family and replaced them with a mask" he said bitterly, hate in every word.

Twilight didn`t speak for a long time after that, as they made there way closer to Ponyville Twilight could see her castle in the distance.

"Pterosaur do you mind if I fly ahead? I need to get everything ready so nopony freaks out about you" she said

Pterosaur simple smiled "Just say hippodatcyl is come by the name of Lizard Wing, it worked before, it normally works again" looking up as Twilight flew away.

Placing the cabinet down he jumped onto it and with a powerful wing beat, took off into the dawn sky, his claws snicking deep into the metal.


Rainbow Dash was still looking at the bridge, about to leave for work when a shadow was cast over her, and a familiar shape passed over her head.
"TWILIGHT DOWN HERE!!!!!" she yield up.

Twilight looked down and landed next to her friend, both of them hugged "Thank Celestia your Ok,!"

Then Dash`s attitude kicked in and her protective nature "Where the hay you have been?!" she said breaking the hug

"In a forest full of Timbre-dogs, and I`ve been trying to get home all night" she retorted

Rainbow sighed "Well as long as your Ok. Come on the other have been waiting for you at Sugar Cube corner!"

Twilight followed her friend to Sugar Cube corner completely forgetting about Pterosaur and the files.

All of her friends greeted the alicorn, with warm words. And a lively and friendly conversation started about Twilight`s night.

"Wait a cottin peckin minute, Timbre-wolves can be tamed?" stated Applejack in confusion

"Darling that seems quiet ridicules"

"Yeah, an that not the half of it I found a ...." Twilight sentence was cut short as somepony in the street shouted

"MONSTER!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!" as a stampede thundered past the window.

Twilight looked at the other girls, all had faces mixed with fear, determination and joy (guess who was happy) on their faces.

Twilight existed Sugar Cube Corner, find the filing cabinet and a voice echoed from above.

"Your bills must be paid in final Princess" as a large shadow was cast over them, Twilight looked up to find the large form of Pterosaur flying about, massive leathery wings, semi transparent, with the sun glowing through them.

Landing the creature folded it wings on his sides and flicked it diamond tip tail. "Princess I don`t believe I have been introduced to your friends"

Twilight nodded "Girls this is Lizard Wing, he helped me escape those Timbre-hounds and get this documents here, Lizard Wing these are my friends"

"I`m Rarity pleasure to meet you darling" said the alabaster unicorn with the indigo mane and tail

"Howdy I`m Applejack, the most dependable of pony and the truest of friends" said the orange farm pony with a stetson.

"Hi I`m Pinkie Pie do you like to party, because I love to party!" bubbled the pink mare, with the cotton candy mane

"Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in all of Equestria" boasted the cyan pegasus with the rainbow mane

"I`m Flutter*murmmer*"

"Argh Fluttershy got it" he said with a doubt, all of them stared at him, he`d not only heard Fluttershy in ultra-shy mode but got her name right.

Rainbow still had problems with that, and some guy that just meet her could heard her better than her, that ticked her off, even if he`d saved Twilight "What the hay are you anyways?"

"I`m a hippodatcyl" he said, his crimson eyes scanning Rainbow Dash`s cerise iris for a moment, then turning to Twilight

"Where`d you want this?" he asked

"In the castle over there" she replied, pointing at the castle.

Lizard Wing smiled and moved over to the cabinet, with his wing he picked up the cabinet and trotted off as if it where nothing.

All of the girls turned to Twilight, Rarity raised an eyebrow "So... hippodatcyl your type?" which in turn got a glare from Twilight which could rival Fluttershy`s stare.
Applejack chuckled slightly at the comment, Twilight glare turned to her, stopping the chuckling Applejack looked away whistling.


Pterosaur wandered along, all the streets bare due to his appearance he assumed or something else but it was likely his appearance. Finally arriving at the castle he was surprised at it size, it seemed builder worked faster than before.

Stopping at the large castle, it looked crystalline in construction, shrugging that off he flapped his wings and took off, with the cabinet solidly in his claws he placed it gently down on the ground, landing behind it he was about to carry it inside when a small cut in the cabinet got his attention, one leading to a secret compartment. With a single file left inside. This compartment however was designed to hold two.

Placing the file cabinet into the castle and closing the balcony door, he gritted his teeth. 'Dam it, a files missing, if something get there hooves on it....!' he eyes shot open.

Within a second he took off a trail of fire spewing from the lump shaped jetpack strapped to his back. Making a beeline for Twilight.
