Six wishes for six elements

by Malcolm Merlyn


Chapter 38

It was like falling down a well. Only in slow motion however, as though the air within was like a fluid that slowed one's descent down. Like any fluid, Sanya would find herself floating down on her backside as she stared into the veils of the future. The many visions began to creep within to her mind.

Or rather... the first thing that went into her mind wasn't a vision. It was a noise, and then would Sanya find herself in a massive room.

"Hail Hydra!" A man cried in front of a massive army of armed men with unearthly arms and armor. He would be replied with a thunderous roar of the words "Hail Hydra! Hail Hydra!" many times before he turned around to come face to face with another man who whispered into his ears. Things about "unlimited power".

And this is where she wished Eila was here. She would have easily been able to discern what these visions meant except... wait a second.

"Eila?" Sanya asked with disbelief as she saw her friend standing next to her in the middle of a busy street. A nearby sign would read "Iceberg Lounge" which Eila seemed to be headed to. From out of Sanya's view, another Sanya walked right by her, following Eila into the lounge, the two conversing about "difficulties" and "one man". She tried to follow herself and her friend, but as the door opened, she saw in the middle of the everfree forests, a group of strange men talking.

One of them wore a dark suit that resembled that of an owl. A large O was on his chestplate, the suit clearly being some form of body armor. He was conversing with his associates. One of them was a man cloaked in black with a compound bow and razor sharp arrows. There were a few others.


She tried to listen... listen closer... but she couldn't get close enough. There would be more however as she tried to approach, the cabal of criminals that had been conversing were gone, replaced by an unearthly monster that radiated a vile miasma of power riding at the head of several monstrous creatures of varying size.

There was more. A lot more. Some of them involved people she knew. Erica, Barkhorn and Eila. Others... she didn't know or were rather unfamiliar with.

As the visions began to fade... she was met with one last thing.
A small village by the ural moutains to the east. A familiar voice calling to her. Her father.
"Sanya... Sanya... Sanya..."

And the world went dark.





She gasped extremely loudly when she woke, like someone who had just had their first gulp of air in a long time. Getting up, she realized that she had been on the "grass" and now smelled remotely like strawberry ice cream.

"Wakey wakey! So... did it work?" Discord asked. "Ohh... who am I kidding? Of course it worked!"

"Yeah... it did." Sanya said. "So... are you going to teach me now?"

"Of course!" Discord said as he rubbed his hands together and snapped his fingers.






She practically jolted out of her trance, causing many people and ponies to initially think she was having a seizure. When she breathed... and acted normally, as it turned out, she was fine.

"Hey kid... you alright?" Raynor asked as he took a look at Sanya.

"I am fine! I got it! Feynaltdrog is located at a volcano south of Equestria beyond the badlands and..."

"Slow down kid..." Jim began.

"Oh no..."

"What's wrong now?"

"Feynaltdrog... he's planning to use the elements of Harmony!"

"WHAT?!" Everypony practically all screamed at once.

"I heard him! He's... he's planning to use them to... we have to hurry! If he uses them... he'll become unstoppable!"

"Then... Sanya..." Luna began. "What's going on?"

She stopped for a moment before composing herself and telling the Princess of the Moon of the Dragon's King's plan. Located at a large volcano where he planned to harness the power of the elements to attain what many would call godhood. Speaking of a large volcano....





"Dii drog. .. nust lost nahkiv un mein!" A dragon said as it flew up to it's master at the peak of the volcano.

"Zu'u mindok. dreh ni trun. Fos vis nust dreh wah helt mii?" The black dragon replied, almost bored by the news. "Zu'u dreh ni orin praag verin wah viik niin. Zu'u vis dreh nii naal dimaar!"

"Fos koros fod nust meyz fah mii?"

"Nid trun. Ko daar strunmah, til los ben do mii. .. ahrk nunon rinik lith do niin. Nu ruz. .. Zu'u fen bo nu wah nuviis wah trun do zuk. .. nizraadom."

With that, the large black dragon spread his wings, and flew, to places unknown. What Feynaltdrog didn't know at this time was that Sanya had been listening. What he didn't know either was that now, Sanya understood every word that came out of his mouth. Speaking in his own language would no longer provide him with any more security.






Luna had teleported them back home. Along with all the minerals that Raynor would need for his "project" and more. Not only did she provide them with the minerals, but also with a layout of the mountain. It wasn't too familiar to the princess of the moon for she'd been there a thousand years ago, not because of her battle with the dragon king but because of a slight detour. As a result, knowledge of the ancient mountain would be... limited. But enough to make a plan.

The volcano had a tendency to erupt... quite frequently actually. But what would happen if say... a surprise eruption that not even the dragons were prepared for? Typically, due to poor visibility within the skies and perilous lightning storms, most dragons were not to eager to fly too high during eruptions and sought places to land in any nearby peaks or "safe zones". So what would happen if say... a certain device triggered such an eruption that there would be no place to land?

Death by fire... or death by lightning.

They would go to the mountain, and put an end to Feynaltdrog's army. Then... the king himself for within his conversation, and through a little help of Discord, they knew that he would not return for a long time. To strike now however, would be folly. Under preparation would be a killer. They would have only five days to prepare to take on hundreds of dragons if things went south.

As Raynor built his weapon in the whole he made, he observed as Cap readied his shield, Slade practiced his swordplay with Armin (surprisingly) and Sanya readying the fliegerhammer.

Medic would have a special medi-gun for the occasion.
