//------------------------------// // Chapter 60: Don't You Dare Harm My Friend! // Story: Quest For Equestria // by Skyguy626 //------------------------------// It had been a day since they had set Discord free and suprising to them, Discord hadn't turned Ponyville into 4chan yet. At the moment, McGrath, Big Mac and Sutakira were sitting in the living room of the guys. The three were discussing different topic's but soon they got to the topic of Applejack's birthday. "You know my sis birthday is next week, right?", Big Mac asked as he downed his beer. The other two nodded, "Yeah. When I asked her if she wanted to do anything, she said she didn't really have anything planned." Sutakira answered, "I'm sure there must be something she'd want to have for her special day.", the young man said as he leaned back into the sofa. "Oh, there is. But she probably doesn't want to be a bother to anybody.", McGrath replied as he downed his own beer, before opening another one. McGrath and Big Mac were both startled by Sutakira's sudden outburst. "That's ridiculous. Your birthday is one of those days where you're entitled to be a bother!" Sutakira said as he stood up. "There must be something she wants!". "Well..." Big Mac started gaining the attention from the blue haired one, "AJ's been wanting a motorbike for a while now, but money's been mighty tight lately and she couldn't put any bits aside." "How many bits are we talking here?", Sutakira asked, as the red stallion informed him that a motorbike in Equestria cost around five hundred bits. "Damn, that is a lot," Sutakira laments as in his head he went over different scenario's to try to think of a way to help Applejack out. "Excuse me for a second. I have to go to the bathroom.", he said as he left the two. On the way to the bathroom, Sutakira peeked into the kitchen to see a troubled Skywalker baking cookies. Suddenly Sutakira got an idea on how to solve the Applejack's bike issue. "Skywalker! Just the guy I was looking for!", Sutakira said walking into the kitchen as his friend looked up. "Oh hi, Sutakira.", the young knight as he cut out different shapes from the cookie dough. "What's cooking, good looking?", Sutakira started gaining a suspicious look from his friend. "What do you want?", Skywalker said as Sutakira let out a nervous chuckle. "I was wondering if you could do me a favor.", he started before taking a deep breath and give it to him straight, "I'm gonna need five hundred bits in a week.", Sutakira was not expecting the response he got. "Oh no. I was hoping this wouldn't happen. I know you're worried, Toshiyuki, but have you and the mare considered putting the kid up for adoption? I know abortion seems like the only way out, but...", Skywalker started. A blushing Sutakira interrupted him, "Skywalker, what are you talking about? I didn't get anybody pregnant! It's for AJ's birthday!". Skywalker let a sigh of relief, "Oh, thank Yoda! Toshiyuki Sutakira, you scared me half to death!", he said as he placed his cookies in the oven. "Anyway, I want to get AJ a motorbike for her birthday.", Sutakira explained as Skywalker folds his right arm over his chest while propping his left elbow up on it and placing a hand on his chin. "Alright, I'll pay, but only half. You'll have to pay for the other half yourself.", Skywalker said as he uncross his arms. "I will pay the first 250 bits but you need to get the rest on your own deal?". "Okay deal.", Sutakira said as he left to go for the bathroom. Just as one of his friends left the kitchen, another one entered. Though she was easier on the eye than the other one, tomorrow would be the day Korra would be returning home. "Hey Korra.", he said as his friend greeted him before bending over and looking what Skywalker was cooking. "So Korra, tomorrow your leaving. So wanna go get something to drink?", he suggested as his friend got a blush for no reason. "You... and me? Alone? Like a date? I don't know...", she said as he blush got worse. Skywalker gave her an odd look, "If it makes you feel better don't see it as a date. See it as... Two friends who are getting a drink together.". Suddenly Pinkie Pie peeks her head through the door, giving a quick look around the room, "Have you guys seen Phoenix anywhere? We were supposed to play pranks.", the pink pony asked. "Hey, yeah where is that crazy red head? I haven't seen him all day.", Skywalker said. Meanwhile over at Arendell, huge torrents of fire and ice were razing across the mountain. The fight had been raging for an hours now and just now the queen was feeling the strain on her muscles. Jayden charged an lightning blast towards her, Elsa using her ice could just narrowly dodge the lightning arcs. Mizuki sended another torrent of fire, which Elsa dodges with difficulty. They had been fighting for so long now and neither showed any sign of slowing down. Elsa jumps behind Mizuki to avoid an attack and counters by arching her back to throw a ice blast, knocking down Mizu. Elsa charges toward Mizuki, but is knocked off by a lightning blast. She cushions her fall with ice sloop , preparing for another attack, but was struck by Mizuki on her right and Jayden on his left. She dodges barrages of attacks by Mizu and Jayden, though she was knocked down. As the Marc's Followers surrounds her, she braces herself up, having difficulties to stand from all the damage she had caught and the exhaustion was finally catching up to her. She protects herself in an ice sphere, but is blasted against a wall by a fire blast from Mizuki. She props himself up, her dress badly tattered and his face bruised. "Give up. It's over.", Mizuki mocked at the defeated queen. She had no idea why her master wanted control of this insignificant World, but if her master wanted it, she was damn sure he would get it. "As long as I'm breathing, it's not over.", the queen stated as she strikes out with another ice blast, but misses. Mizuki charged up and send a large torrent of fire at the queen. Elsa thought about how when your about to die, you see your entire life flash before your eyes. She didn't see that. All she saw was her loved once, her sister and her boyfriend, Olaf. Last but not least, her crush, the red headed young man who helped her understand her powers and saved her Kingdom. She regretted that she hadn't got to know him better, never admitted her crush to him. She closed her eyes waiting for the fires to swallow her, but they never did. Opening them, she saw the one who had saved her kingdom once before, bending the torrents around the two of them. As the fires died down, Phoenix gave her a ensuring wink before giving the duo a death glare. "Don't you dare harm my friend, Bellatrix!", Phoenix shouted as he conjured a flame in his palm, ready to fight. "Bellatrix?", Mizuki asked not knowing what he meant by that, turning her head to her companion who shrug his shoulders. "You know, Bellatrix Lestrange? From the Harry Potter novels? You make your master sound like he is Voldemort and your is most faithful follower.", Phoenix explained as his opponent still didn't get it. "She was played by Helena Bonham Carter in the movies!". Mizuki finally got it, "Oh her...", suddenly she became offended, "My teeth look nothing like that!". "Oh my god, she is almost as big as an Cloudcuckoolander as I am!", Phoenix thought to himself before Mizuki snapped him out of his train of thoughts. "How did you know your friend was in danger, Phoenix?", Jay asked as he charged yellow arcs of lighting around his arms. "Simple! I... Wait a minute how did I know?", Phoenix responded as he scratched the back of his head. "It doesn't matter, Its good your here.", Mizuki said as she took a step forward, "Our master has taken notice of you Element Wielders, Little Chick. Join us and we can find a place for you and your friends.", Mizuki said smugly, she was utterly convinced that anyone would be glad to join them. So his reaction was a total surprise to her. "I will never join you! And I will protect Arendell for as long as I draw breath! This I swear for as long as my name is Kyle Yveltal Phoenix!", Phoenix declared as he pointed towards Mizuki with his index finger. Mizuki's eyes widen for a moment, how did he knew that name? Her surprised expression turned to rage as she launched herself at Phoenix, tackling him to the ground. Unlike what he had expected, she didn't use her pyrokinisis, she balded her hands into fists and started to punch his face in. "Don't. You. Dare. Utter. That. Name!", she said with every word, she connected a punch. "How do you know that name! Is there a spy in our Order! What more do you know!", she demanded to know. Mizuki was kicked of Phoenix as he gave a swift kick into her guts. Mizuki was about to send a fire blast at him, but she felt the air being knocked out of her as a ice bolt struck her right in the stomach. Looking up, Phoenix saw that Elsa had regained her composure. Suppressing his grin he stood up, ready to fight for her. "Don't worry, I've got your back.", the queen said, a slight hint of happiness in her voice. Enraged for the attack of his friend, Jay used his advanced speed to close in on the two, and tried to strike them with his fist charged with lighting. The duo dodge the attacks by jumping in the air, as he landed back on the ground, Phoenix send his own torrent of fire against the lightning bruiser as Elsa joined in as send a torrent of ice. Quickly gathering electricity in his legs, Jay launched himself up in the air, just as the fire and ice clashed and caused a large explosion. A large torrent of fire was launched by a recovered Mizuki as Phoenix stood his ground redirecting the torrent back at its sender. "You take that lightning guy, I'll take care of Bellatrix!", Phoenix said as his friend gave a quick nod before creating a wall of ice, just in time as Jay came crashing down with a lightning kick. Regaining his footing, Jay shot another lighting blast at Elsa, who block it with another wall of ice. As the lightning impacted on the wall, a loud crack was heard before the ice wall shattered into a thousand pieces. With a quick hand gesture, the queen stopped the ice shards in mid air and with another gesture, sends them at towards Jay, who had to do his very best to dodge them. Mizuki leaps forward, sending a large blast of fire towards Phoenix, holding out his hand, the fire spreads across the battlefield. It was then that Phoenix noted the difference in fighting style's between the two pyrokinatic's. Phoenix's style was much like himself, calm, cunning and go with the flow. While Mizuki was like a wild fire, trying to do as much damage as possible while overwhelming her opponent with brute force. Mizuki was furious at her opponent, not only was he capable of keeping up with her but show how he knew about her greatest secret. Giving a quick look over her partner, who was more than a match for the young queen. If these two ever reached their level of experience, they could be worthy followers for her master. But Mizuki saw no point in fighting anymore, they had more pressing matters now, Like a spy in their organization. Jay bombards the queen with quick lightning strikes, force her to guard each of his attacks. Elsa kicked the ground, sending a trail of ice spikes to Jay while he himself whips her with a lightning bolt. Elsa dodge his assault and creates a icy gust to her opponent. He dodges, and was about to reveal his true power, something only those in the inner circle of Marc knew, but before he could unleash it the voice of his partner rang in his ear. "Jay! We got to go!", Mizuki ordered, as Jay gave her a annoyed look, he was just having fun. She sends one last fire blast at Phoenix before both she and Jay disappeared into black smoke. "And stay away!", Phoenix shouted before dropping to his knees exhausted. Panting heavily, he looked over his companion, giving her a warm smile before rising to his feet and walking over to her. "You have become strong, queen Elsa Targaryen.", he said as he held out his hand, which the queen accepted. "I think we're past the whole 'queen' and 'your majesty' thing.", the queen said as she looked him deep in his purple eyes. "I know. Let's get you back to the castle, I think your army is done fighting those black creatures." Meanwhile back over at Equestria, more specificly Canterlot City. Skywalker and Korra had walked into a bar... Why does that sound like a stupid joke? Anyways, the two had been there since opening and it was now close to closing time. "How... How did you resist Amon's Blood bending?...", a drunken Korra asked a even drunken Skywalker. Letting out a giggle, "Blood bending doesn't work, when your veins are filled with swag!", he declared proudly even standing up. Letting out a loud laughter, he plopped down back into his seat. "Okay, I'm interested.", his friend said, gaining a questioning look from the young knight. "In sex. With you. Perhaps I'm not being clear? There is a party. Your penis is invited. The party is in my vagina.", she explained. Skywalker tumbled the thought in his head for a minuted, "You know that sounds really... But I'm going with no. Not that your not attractive or anything, your in my top five. But your drunk and I'm drunk. Also I'm 20 and your 17ish.", he told her but he was interrupted by Korra's deep stair. "Are you sulking?", Skywalker asked but Korra shook her head. "Jason Sephiroth Skywalker, I find you positively fascinating. You don't hang out with me out of pity or that I'm the Avatar. You'r not after me for sex. I think you are probably rocking a massive hero complex. Also you have beautiful amber colored eyes. That Fluttershy is a lucky gal.". Skywalker thought about why all those points would make Fluttershy a lucky gal, "She's special to you, isn't she?" Korra added as Skywalker shot a confused look at his friend. "Of course! She's a irreplaceable friend....", Skywalker protested but Korra interrupted him. "You know what I mean.", Korra interrupted him. A little while later, a drunken Skywalker and Korra arrive back at Shoveitupyourass Street 15. In front of Skywalker's bedroom door, the two stopped as Skywalker gave a short bow. "Well... Here we are princess!", he said as the two let out a chuckle. "Oh thank you, my almighty knight.", she responded. The two agreed that they needed to do this more often, as the two gave each other a hug. "You smell nice.", he noted as his friend took a big whiff from his air. "Your hair smells like cotton candy." she said before slowly bringing her lips to Skywalker's, kissing softly and passionately. They enjoy every second of the kiss, as Korra opens the door and they fall back into it and unto the bed. Skywalker uses his force to close it as Korra laughs like a maniac. "Are you the Joker now?" Skywalker's voice said from behind the door.
