Flash Sentry
That guy who said he was Chief’s son, Inferno Gateway I think, he told me to go get Twilight (the one I fell in love with not the one I was in love with, there’s somehow a difference), and tell her that we needed her help. I was really not looking forward to the trip, I mean I didn’t know much about Equestria or how it worked, but what really scared me was the portal. Everyone went to their normal thing, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were still a little shaken from that Tirek guy… showing up. I took a deep breath, gathered my few shreds of courage and stepped into the statue of the Wondercolt. It felt like… getting flushed down a toilet with energy instead of water (no I don’t get flushed down a toilet often!).
“Flash!?” I heard a voice. I didn’t recognize it from recent memory. But it did sound familiar… like a little boy. I felt some sort of clawed hand shaking my back before anything else registered. Then I shot up and realized something, I was in a crystal structure. And there was a stained glass picture of a purple unicorn with wings… she looked like Twilight. I looked behind me and saw a lizard walking on its hind legs… it looked like Twilight’s dog.
“Spike?” I asked. “That you?”
“Don’t tell me you forgot me!”
“That was until Chief... Chief!” I ran down the hall looking for Twilight, and fell flat on my face.
“Wait! Where’re you going!” Spike said behind me.
“I need to find Twilight! My girlfreind and Chief are in trouble!”
“Girlfreind…? Wait! You’re not-!”
“No, I’m the Flash Sentry from Canterlot High. I- ugh-we need Twilight’s help! Where is she!?”
“You’re scaring a baby dragon,” it was then that I realized that I wasn’t helping.
“Just tell me where Twilight is. I need her, and it’s not just me!” I guess he figured arguing would be pointless, so he took me to what I assumed was a clinic, all the while reminding me that I had four legs, not two. Twilight was standing next to a bed occupied by Shining while a rag dabbed at his head with some glittering sparkles around it. When the door opened, she didn’t even look to see who it was.
“Did you find out who it was, Spike?” she asked. Shining opened his eyes for just long enough to see me, he would’ve got up too, if it weren’t for the injury to his ribcage. “Shining you have to stay still!”
“Flash…” that got Twilight’s attention. She turned around with shock on her face.
“At least we stopped bumping into each other,” I said.
“Wait… you’re-!”
“Yeah, Chief and Inferno sent me, we need your help.”
“Chief?”
“Master Chief,” Shining said. “It’s a nickname for our Flash so we wouldn’t confuse the two.” He cringed. “How’s Chief now?” he asked.
I looked away, trying to think up away to delicately put it… I found nothing and decided to save an explanation for another time.
“We just need help… and you might not like who we need it from, based on some of the memory I got back from Chief.” She raised an eyebrow.
“Who’s that?” I took a deep breath, exhaled and tensed up in preparation for a yelling.
“Adagio Dazzle…”



Twilight Sparkle
“Adagio Dazzle!? The Siren who almost ruined our relationship!?” I screamed. “Why would I help her!?”
“Because Chief needs my Twilight’s help and she needs Adagio’s help!” Flash said. “And that Inferno guy said that if you don’t help, Chief may never feel love again!” he had to be kidding. Flash (my Flash) not loving me anymore if I don’t help the Dazzlings? That ultimatum… was hard for me to take. On the one hand Adagio almost ruined all the hard work my friends at Canterlot High put into fixing it. On the other hand… Flash was the father of my unborn child, and I loved him more than my own father… the idea that he could not love me anymore… that hurt.
“Fine… I’ll help.” Flash sighed and hugged me. It felt nice to get a hug from him again, but then I remembered I already had another coltfriend. I felt someone getting up from sitting position behind me.
“I’ll go with you,” Glacier Storm said. “I need to find the one I sacrificed so much for.”
“And he needs a new sword.” That was… disturbing.
“What happened to Sinhunter?” I asked.
“Long story. Any idea where I can get one for him?” I did have one… but I didn’t think he’d want to use it.
“Yeah,” I couldn’t lie. “but it doesn’t deserve to be used by him.” I felt Shining put his hoof on my shoulder.
“He needs it,” He said. “Go… I’ll guide Flash to… it.”
“Shining you aren’t in any condition to go anywhere!” I tried to argue.
“I have to do this!” he said. “I can’t sit on my plot and let my friends suffer so I don’t.” something like that… I couldn’t not let him go.
