Skywalker runs through a burning Ponyville, all around him ponies where being attacked by those black creatures. Suddenly, Skywalker's feet came to a halt as he saw his closes friend broken and defeated at the feet of a tall humanoid dressed in a black cloak, two blue orbs shining from under his hood. "Don't you turn your back on me, Skywalker. I want you to look at me when I kill you. I want to see the light leave your eyes.".
A loud thud woke Skywalker up from his nightmare, a cool breeze from the open window stroke over his naked chest, only the blue sheets of his bed covering his naked lower half. Rubbing his eyes, he saw the naked form of Korra sitting on the side of his bed. "Could you keep it quite down there?", Skywalker asked as a baffled Korra looked up to him.
Standing up, Skywalker easily picks Korra up by her arm and makes her stand. Korra nearly falls over, but he wraps a arm around her torso to keep her up. "Ease up, you kind over did it with the beer yesterday..." he told her as he gently sits her down on the edge of the bed.
Korra bobs her head bit as she nod weakly, "I thought beer didn't have much alcohol....", rubbing her face, the headache feeling a lot worse.
Skywalker pats her back, "Eh, was this your first time?", but Korra apply her palms to her face. "Hey Jason, did we?...", the young avatar began, as Skywalker shook his head. "We made out but we just fell asleep.", he admitted scratching the back of his head.
Meanwhile in Ponyville Park, Sutakira was sitting on one of the benches deep in thought. "How am I going to make 250 bits before next week?", Sutakira muttered to himself.
"Maybe I can be of assistance(your name)" a sudden voice said making the young man jump in surprise. Turning around, he saw Lyra grinning at him. "Oh morning Lyra. You can help me?", Sutakira asked as he stood up. Lyra nodded excitedly, having overheard what Sutakira was pondering about. "250 bits, I can hook you up.".
Sutakira did a back flip out of sheer joy, "Really? Are you serious?.... Wait a minute. What's the catch? Your not going to give me 250 bits just like that.", he asked suspiciously as Lyra giggled.
"Smart as ever, Sutakira! All you have to do is help me study the human body.", she unicorn explained as the young man pondered he request. "I've always been interested in learning about humans, and while I've read a lot of books on human anatomy, I think it'd be great to do a hooves-on study.", she explained as Sutakira studied her body language. Her intentions seem genuine enough, but Sutakira can't help but ask, "What's the catch?".
"No catch at all. In fact I'm willing to make things as comfortable as possible for you. If you ever feel uncomfortable, just say the word.", Lyra assured him. After thinking it over a few more seconds, Sutakira agreed to do it. "Alright! We'll do it at my place. It's across the street from the Carousel Boutique. And don't worry, I'll pay you every bit once you show up. How does tomorrow at noon sound?", Lyra asked excitedly as Sutakira thought about it for a moment. "I don't have anything to do tomorrow, as far as I know. Sure, sounds good.".
Lyra's face brightens up. "Great! See you tomorrow, Sutakira.", she said as she waves at him.
A few hours later, after giving Korra a ride back to Republic City and after spending some time with his friends there, he received a letter from Cadance and Shining Armor, inviting him to the Crystal Empire to help train some new recruits. After saying goodbye, Skywalker was riding his motorcycle towards the Crystal Palace. As he arrived, the voice of Shining Armor called out to him, "Ser Skywalker! Come and join us!", his voice echoed throughout the crowded courtyard. Turning off the engine, and placing the helmet on the steering wheel, Skywalker walked up to them, "Good morning Shining, everyone.", he greeted them as he arrived. The recruits smiled, stared, and gazed in awe at Skywalker, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
Looking over the recruits, the one thing Skywalker noticed was that most of them where female, "Leave it to Shining Armor to pick a class made up mostly of novice girls... Who did I piss off in a past life?", Skywalker thought to himself as the recruits greeted him.
"Are there any questions for Ser Skywalker?", Shining Armor addressed his recruits, looking down the line. "Please call me Skywalker.", Skywalker said to the recruits with a warm smile. A caramel brown unicorn with blond manes raised his hoof, Shining Armor nodded allowing the recruit to ask his question. "Can I fight him?", the unicorn named Bright Shield asked.
Shining Armor looked over at Skywalker, who nodded. "I guess so. He is the Knight Of The Wind, so are you sure?", Shining Armor asked Bright Shield. The unicorn recruit nodded arrogantly, "He doesn't look like much. I'm sure all the tales of his prowess are the result of him putting his tongue to the Princess's hoof."
Before anyone could blink, Skywalker crossed the distance between him and Bright Shield in an instant and glared at him.
Shining Armor began to sweat as he felt his friends power grow. A quick look behind him saw the novices come close to falling to their flanks, some near fainting. Bright Shield quickly backed up a pace, nearly tripping over himself in his haste to put some distance between him and the Skywalker.
"Perhaps you can put my tales to rest. Come.", Skywalker told him and leaped into the ring and walks to the center. Bright Shield looked at Shining Armor, silently pleading for him to get him out of this, but his commander gestured with his head to the ring, a grin on his face. Bright Shield entered the ring and stood a distance away, nervously shifting from hoof to hoof.
Skywalker respectfully bowed his head, though Bright Shield clearly did not deserve it. Bright Shield charged, conjuring his yellow magic blade to preform an overhand slice. He smirked as he began the slice, his blade arcing towards Skywalker's unprotected head.
As the mares gasped, Shining Armor hurried forward, conjuring his own blue magic blade, intending to stop Bright Shield's blade. They all froze at the new sight in front of them. Skywalker hadn't even drawn his lightsaber, he side stepped the attack and threw a punch, knocking Bright Shield back several steps. Dazed from the blow, Bright Shield momentarily forgot about his attack, Skywalker not allowing Bright Shield a second to recover, used the same arm to snap an elbow strike into his opponent's jaw and then punched him with his left, leaving him to fall flat on his flank, knocked unconscious.
Shining Armor shook his head at his friend as Skywalker turned to address the rest of the recruits, "Your body, when used correctly, can be one of the most effective weapons. Any questions?".
Ten minutes later, the novices were practicing simple disarming techniques. Shining Armor was circulating, pointing out flaws, adjusting stances and movements, and giving guidance on proper technique. Skywalker had paired himself with on of the recruits, since Bright Shield was still unconscious and there were an odd number of newbies left.
"When I attack, step forward, throw a punch at the jaw, grab the wrist with your left hoof and use your right to break his elbow. From there, pull the weapon out of his hand.", Skywalker instructed while he demonstrated the action against an imaginary opponent. The young light blue with blue mane Pegasus, named Spear Strike nodded, "May I try? I think I understand it now.".
Skywalker nodded, "Let's see." taking his fighting stance. The novice dropped into a standard attack stance, waiting for Skywalker's next move.
Skywalker stepped forward, swinging a practice sword down and across, as if to slice the female novice shoulder to opposite hip. She stepped into the attack, throwing a punch to his jaw as she blocked the sword arm with her fore hoof. Her hoof stopped a millimeter from his face, close enough to feel the power behind the blow. Grabbing his wrist, she pulled her arm back and slammed into the underside of his arm. If Skywalker hadn't moved at the last second, she would have made his elbow exceed one hundred and eighty degrees. From there she pulled the sword out of his grasp and quickly stepped out of arms reach, returning to her attacking stance.
Skywalker clapped slowly, "Good. Very good.", he complimented making Spear Strike blush as she tossed the sword back. "Again?", She asked shyly making her remind him of a certain other Pegasus. Snatching the practice sword out of the air, Skywalker replied with a, "Sure.".
Two hours later, the drill was over. Despite the two hours of exercise, Skywalker and Shining Armor stood side by side at the center of the arena, as if they hadn't done anything. "What do you think, Skywalker?", Shining asked at the man who he had come to see as a younger brother of sorts. Skywalker shrug his shoulders as he said, "Adequate.".
"That's all? Adequate?", Shining asked as his friend turned away from him. "They've only trained for one year. I've trained my entire life.", Skywalker explained as the two walked towards the castle.
Meanwhile over at Sweet Apple Acres, the Apple siblings were doing their jobs around the farm as a voice called to them, "Hallo, everybody!", turning around they saw that it was Neville who greeted them. "Mister Neville! Good to see ya again!", Applejack shouted as she trotted towards the human who was leaning on the fence, happy to see the man who had saved the farm. "I hope everything is going well?", the young man asked, gaining a nod from Big Mac and Applejack. "Good, if there is any problem, anything at all, my contact information is on the deed I gave you.", he added with a smile, which send a warm blush over Applejack's face. "Would you like to come inside and have something to drink?", Big Mac offered, but Neville was forced to decline. "I'm sorry, but my boss, who happens to be my little brother, ordered me to check up on you and then report back to him at the office.", Neville explained as Big Mac understood.
"I'm sure your brother is a perfectly reasonable guy.", Applejack tried to convince him, but the young man shook his head. "Actually he is kind of a douche. A little moody douche.", Neville said a hint of amusement and obviously affection in his voice, "But only I'm allowed to call him that.", after saying his goodbyes to the Apple siblings, Neville took his leave but unbeknownst to him, Applejack was following him closely behind.
Not ten minutes later, Applejack had successfully followed Neville to the Main Square, where the young man walked into a recently build building. As fast she could without being detected, the young mare followed him into the building. Fortunately for her, the building wasn't in business yet as the lobby was abandon, behind the front desk, the words 'MC Enterprises', could be seen. She could see Neville walk up the stairs, slowly sneaking after him she saw him enter a large oak wooden door, written on it were the words 'Boss's Office'.
"Hallo, Neville.", a familiar voice said from the other side of the door. "What's the status at Sweet Apple Acres?", the voice asked with Neville replied that everything was fine, thought they were a bit tight on money. "I see... transfer some of my funds to the Apple family, AJ and Big Mac have enough to worry about. I...", the voice suddenly stopped, a annoyed groan was heard before the voice said, "You can come in, AJ." as the door opened revealing Neville standing in the door opening. Behind him, she saw McGrath sitting behind a large desk in a big leather chair and a pretty older girl laying down on a sofa.
After explaining what had happened, Applejacks confused look turned into a big smile as she rushed forward to grab McGrath in a big hug, "Oh McGrath, ya saved the farm! I'm just so thankful to ya!", she said as McGrath patted her back. After a minute Applejack let him go, the orange mare standing up and wiping away her joyful tears. "You’re welcome, AJ.", McGrath said as Applejack leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek, making a blush appear on McGrath cheeks.
"If ya'll weren't dating Rarity I'd give ya more than just that little kiss.", she whispered into his ear, making his blush intensify at her words, one hand rubbing the back of his head, "I, uh, it’s my pleasure-ah, I mean..." he trailed off. Neville, Emma and Applejack giggling at his sudden embarrassment.
Over the skies of Arendelle, Phoenix was soaring through the clouds with princess Anna on his back. After clearing out the Corrupted from the city, Phoenix had decided to stay a while and catch up with his friends there. "You know, I think Elsa wants to make a snow angel with you Phoenix!", the strawberry blond princess shouted as he took a sharp turn downwards. "What does that mean?", Phoenix asked her as the two of them landed back in the castle gardens. He had to surpass a chuckle at his friends messy her, which was a total mess.
"She wants to have your chicks.", she explained as she straighten out her hair. Phoenix thought about what she had said but he still didn't get it, "What does THAT mean!? Stop confusing me, Anna!".
Anna burst out in laughter at how clueless her tall red headed friend was, Anna hoped her brotherly figure to ask her sister out soon.
Elsa watched jealously as Anna laughed with Phoenix, she sighed and leaned against a pillar. Elsa fidgeted as she heard her sister laugh again. Her sister was always so lucky. "Elsa?" Phoenix voice asked, making the blond jump a little. "Do you mind if we talk for a moment?". She smiled shyly as she gave him a nod, "Alright, Elsa, pull yourself together. He's just another guy. A handsome... muscular... attractive... smart... man, with beautiful purple eyes that could melt my magic all on its own.".
A little while later, the two were seated at the coast overlooking the sea, just talking, well Elsa mostly talking and Phoenix listening.
"I envy you, Kyle. You'll always be free to do as you please.", the queen said. Phoenix let out a soft chuckle before laying down in the warm grass, "Freedom is overrated. I'd rather buy a nice house some were, retire with the woman of my dreams.", he informed her as it was the queens turn to laugh. "Dream woman, huh? Good thing you've got a vivid imagination. Its weird...".
Phoenix rolled his eyes, "Yes I know the front of my hair looks like a weed plant!", he said in a mock hurt tone, getting another laugh out of the queen. "I meant, I do all the talking, while you listen. So what's under that charming exterior?", she explained.
"Maybe I just didn't want to bore you with personal details. You want to know more about me, ask away.", Phoenix said as he placed his arms behind his head.
Three days later, it was Applejack's birthday and despise not wanting a party her friends sure did. So Skywalker, Twilight, McGrath, Rarity, Big Mac and Fluttershy where decorating the barn at Sweet Apple Acres, they had send the hard working mare on a few errands around Ponyville so they should have plenty of time to prepare.
"My room is not that messy.", Skywalker said to Twilight as the two were inflating some balloons. "It is for my tastes.", Twilight said as she used her magic to levitate some decoration on the ceiling. "That's because you have OCD.", McGrath told her as he was standing on Big Mac's back hanging up a large B. When they are done with that, it will spell out 'Happy Birthday AJ' in bright orange light.
At his responses Twilight gave a questioning look, "Obsessive Cleaning Disorder.", Skywalker, McGrath and Big Mac explained, then they burst out in laughter. "Wow. That was unexpected.", McGrath notted as Big Mac added, "Yeah, we didn't planed that at all.".
"They have a point, darling." Rarity said as she used her magic to lift the next letter into her coltfriends hand before turning to Skywalker, "I can totally relate to you, Skywalker. There’s nothing wrong with a little organized chaos."
Suddenly a loud booming voice was heard, "Did somebody say ‘chaos’?". A puff of smoke suddenly appears out of nowhere, and when it dissipates, they see a draconequus. "Discord!?" the friends shouted as the spirit of chaos greeted them."Hello, everybody! Fluttershy invited me over to AJ's birthday. I thought you might needed some help!".
"Oh yes, We're glad you're here, Discord.", Fluttershy said as she approached her friend, happy to see him again but the same couldn't be said for the others. "Speak for yourself, Fluttershy.", McGrath said as he returned haning up the letters. "Why do you still think I'm evil?", Discord asked as he floated in front of the pale brunette.
"I never thought you where evil, per se, I just think that you're a major troll.", McGrath explained as his girlfriend handed him the next letter, "Which, in my opinion, is way worse. Hopefully, you won't neuk up this party.".
Discord rolled his eyes at this, "Then I'll try my best to not neuk up this party.", he replied in a terrible impression of McGrath's voice.
A few hours later, Applejack had arrived back at Sweet Apple Acres after running her errands, she was currently pulling a cart with a huge cake towards the barn. She was surprised when she found McGrath and Rarity snugging with each other in front of the barn. Upon seeing her, the couple blushed as she got out of his arms.
"AJ! You got the cake for Phoenix's Bar Mitzvah?", McGrath said as Applejack went inside the barn while muttering, "Yeah... Yeah...".
Applejack arrived in barn and was startled by the sudden loud shouts of "Surprise!!!", from all her friend, plus Discord and some blond haired human she had never seen before. "WHa! I didn't do anything!", Applejack shouted as the gang broke down in laughter.
"No, this is your birthday party!", Twilight explained, making Applejack confused. "This isn't Phoenix's Bar Mitzvah?", Applejack asked as the gang let out another laugh. "No! Phoenix is not Jewish!", McGrath said.
"Let's get this party STARTED!", Pinkie chimes in as she turns on the music.
A hour later, the party was in full swing. Skywalker had been standing over at the wall, observing his friends dancing. Fluttershy walked up to him. "Hello Jason, would you like to...", Fluttershy said with a soft voice, but suddenly, Griffifth informed him that they were nearly out of beer so Skywalker went out to buy some more with Discord tagging along for no reason.
After a quick visit to the Night Store, the knight and the spirit of chaos were on their way back to the party, neither had said a word to the other. "Say Skywalker... Hummm...", Discord started gaining the attention from the young knight. "Is he hesitating? This isn't like Discord at all.". Skywalker thought to himself, "Yes?"
"Well. I wanted to say that I'm so-, sor-..." Discord tried to say but after taking a deep breath he finally got it out, "I'm sorry, Skywalker.".
This made Skywalker stop in his tracks, as he gave Discord a surprised look, "Are my ears playing tricks on me? Discord sincerly saying that he's sorry? I can't believe it.", the young knight thought to himself before asking Discord to repeat himself.
"I said I'm sorry. I know I have done things that I can never make up for... I understand if you need time or if you don't want to forgive me. I just wanted you to know that I was sorry and that maybe, one day we could be friends.", he explained as he lowered his head.
"Well that is new. Discord, I forgive you and I would like to be your friend.", Skywalker said with a warm smile making Discord look back up at him. "Really!? You would!? Why!?", he exclaimed in complete surprise, he would never imagine that a human would forgive him after all he has done to them.
"Because I'm impressed by your actions today. Everyone deserves a second chance and besides Flutters thinks your okay so you can't be that bad.", Skywalker explained with a chuckle and when he finished saying that, Discord burst out in cartoon like tears. "Thank you, Ser Skywalker. Thank you! You have no idea how those words made me happy!". Skywalker let out another chuckle as the two shook hands.
As the two continued their walk, Discord finally worked up to nerve to ask him another question, "Ser Skywalker... Did you know you were related to Luna when you and her...".
Skywalker let out a groan of frustration, "How was I supposed to know we were both related? Believe me, if I knew she was family we never would have dated! Should I've gone ahead and propose and get hitched and have kids with eleven toes and move to Alabama where that kind of thing is tolerated? Don't think so.".
After the party, Phoenix and Elsa was leading her back to her castle, moonlight showering down on their faces and glinting off the large body of water that surrounded the city. The romantic pressure was suffocating, "Kiss her... KISS HER ALREADY! DO IT DO IT DO IT", he shouted in his thought. Elsa was waving her hand in front of his face, trying to get his attention. "Phoenix? Are you okay- mmph!", maybe it was the alcohol or maybe he just finally got the nerve, but Phoenix slammed his mouth onto hers, surprising the both of them. Realizing she wasn’t kissing back, he panicked and began to pull away. "S-sorry-", he muttered at her shocked expression which melted into a wide smile and she grabbed his collar, pulling him back so she could reconnect their lips. Their mouths moved in sync and taking advantage of this to explore the inside of her mouth, they found themselves french kissing in the moonlight. "How cliche is this?" Phoenix muttered softly, to which she broke away to laugh.
