//------------------------------// // Chapter: Seven. Let's go to Chaosville. Twilight's portal spell. // Story: My Little Pony: Secrets of the Kitsune tribes // by OtakuBrony47 //------------------------------// Previously on the story, Fluttershy has revealed to Rocky about Discord, and the knowledge that he may know who and what he is and where he comes from. Rocky had to know where he’s from, so he asked his mother if they can visit him, but Discord lives in Chaosville, and there’s no way for them to get there. So, Rocky suggests they go to Twilight’s house, hoping she might know of a way to get to Chaosville. Rocky really wanted to know where he was from. Rocky thought that figuring out where he came from would help shed some light on who he was, and what happened that day that he saw in his nightmare. Well if anybody knows anything about unusual creatures, it’ll be Discord. Walking down the road to Ponyville, Rocky was walking along side Fluttershy, sitting on her back. Rocky was eager to get to Twilight’s to find out if she knew a way to get to Chaosville. The feeling of zealousness and euphoria were hovering over him like mosquitos on a wet surface. “Come on mom, speed up.” he kept calling, “I don’t want to be late!” “Calm down, Rocky. I’m going as fast as I can.” she replied. Rocky was so excited. For the first time in his life, he was going to find out who he was. The feeling of his identity had haunted him, ever since he was 2. He has always had a feeling that he was different from the ponies in Ponyville, and it made him feel different, in a bad way. As Fluttershy was walking down the road with Rocky on her back, she saw Rainbow Dash flying by. Fluttershy looked and waved at the flying, rainbow manned Pegasus. Rainbow looked down below and saw her friend waving to her down below. She smiled and made a quick landing on to the ground. “Hey, Fluttershy. Where you and Rocky heading?” she asked. “To Twilight’s castle.” replied Fluttershy. “We’re goanna see if she has a portal spell so we can get to Chaosville and visit Discord, so he can tell me who I am.” said Rocky with a cheerful voice. Rainbow was surprised and confused at the same time. “Discord? You’re trying to visit Discord?” she asked. “I told Rocky that Discord might know what type of creature he might be.” replied Fluttershy with a sigh. “Huh, why am I not surprised." said Rainbow Dash, "If anyone will about a creature like Rocky, it would be him." "Hm hmm." Awkward silence… “Well, we better get going, can’t be late.” “Of course, no problem, I got some cloud bustin’ to do anyway.” said RD as she flexed her wings and flew a few inches of the ground. “Wouldn’t want you hold you two up. See ya’ Rocky, hope you find what you need.” “Thank you Rainbow Dash.” said Rocky as she took off into in the sky, waving back at him. But nonetheless, RD was right, she had a job to do, and she didn’t want to make Fluttershy late for whatever she had to do. So, Fluttershy and Rocky continued their walk to Twilight’s castle. Wasn’t long before the two finally made it. Rocky got off of Fluttershy’s back and began to make his way to the steps of Twilight’s castle. “Rocky, wait!” Exclaimed Fluttershy from behind. “What is it mommy?” he asked. “Wait for me Rocky, don’t just take off like that.” “Sorry mama.” said little Rocky as he held on to Fluttershy’s hoof. Walking together, the two made their up the steps of Twilight’s castle. Fluttershy slowly walked up to the door and softly knocked. They waited a bit, but no pony answered. Fluttershy knocked again, a little bit harder. Again, a short silence filled the area. As Fluttershy reached out to knock again, but as she did, the door opened slowly. Peeking his head out was Spike the Dragon. Rocky's older friend and Twilight's faithful assistant. "Oh, hey Rocky; Fluttershy." he greeted. "I didn't know you guys were coming over for a playdate." “Not today Spike. Is Twilight home?” asked Fluttershy. “Oh.” said Spike with a hint of disappointment, “She’s upstairs in her library.” “Could you watch Rocky for me?” asked Fluttershy, “I want to talk to Twilight in privet.” “Of course,” replied Spike with a smile. Fluttershy kissed Rocky’s forehead and told him to behave himself while she talked to Twilight. With a nod, Rocky sat on the ground of the castle and waited. Fluttershy smiled happily as she made her way up stairway on her way to the castle’s library. Spike stared at Rocky like a hawk, his eyes fixed to him like glue on a broken vase. Awkward silence filled the room. “So~” said Spike nervously, trying to fill the silence, “You like comics?” “What are comics?” asked Rocky. Meanwhile in her library, Twilight was catching up on some reading. But she wasn’t just doing regular reading. She was searching for an answer to Rocky’s magical powers. Ever since she witnessed them first hand, and trained him to use them, she had been curious about his species and the type of magic he uses. Unfortunately, none of the 200 books she read (out the 3,205,119 in her library) held an answer. “Come on!” barked Twilight, “That’s the 200th book I’ve checked, and no answer to what Rocky is and his magic type.” As Twilight read through the book, Fluttershy slowly walked into the library. “Hello, Twilight?” Fluttershy called out. “Twilight?” As Twilight was reading through, she began to hear Fluttershy’s voice calling out to her. “Fluttershy? Fluttershy is that you? Where are you?” “Twilight? Where are you, I can’t see you.” “Oh, there you are.” “Huh?” “Up here, Fluttershy.” Looking up, Fluttershy found Twilight waving to her from the upstairs area of her library room. “Wait there, I’m coming down.” said Twilight ash she made her way to the staircase. Twilight walked down the stairs to the lower level of the library and walked towards Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, so good to see you. What can I do for you?" "Well...You see Twilight, I need your help." "With what in particular?" "Well~" As Fluttershy explained to Twilight why she was here and what she needed her to do, Twilight's happy face slowly turned into a frown. Once Fluttershy had finished explaining her story, Twilight was in shock. She didn't know how to react. "Well, that's it. What do you say Twilight?" asked Fluttershy. Twilight didn't say a word. "Uh..." "I know I'm asking for something big, but it will really help bring Rocky closure about his identity." "...Um, so...You need me to find a portal spell to Chaosville?" asked Twilight. "Mm Hm." "To visit Discord?" asked Twilight. "Mm Hm." Twilight thought it over for a while. She paced the room, tapping chin with her foreleg. "Hmm." thought Twilight as she walked up and down the room. "So, Rocky wants to know about his himself, and you say Discord is the only one who knows?" she asked. "Yep, In fact, it was Discord who told me about Rocky in the first place." said Fluttershy. "Hmm." thought Twilight. "I don't know Fluttershy. A portal spell is kind of hard to pull off." explained Twilight, "Why don't we just summon him using our elements?" "That would be better," thought Fluttershy, "but no, I think it would benefit my little Rocky if we visit him, personally." Thinking it over, Twilight decided to go along with Fluttershy's request. Twilight walked back up the stairs to the upper level in her library and began to search through the spell book in her library, trying to find a book of portal spells. "Hmm, let's see." Twilight began to herself. "Portal spells. That would be in, hmm, conjuring." Fluttershy followed behind Twilight as she walked down the Conjuring section, looking through each book individually. As Twilight walked by, she began to pick up books with her magic, reading their titles, hoping to find the book she needed. "Hmm. Familiars 101, nope. Conjuring for Dummies, nope. Ah, here it is." said Twilight happily. "Portals to Places and Beyond" Twilight took the book from the shelf and blew on it to dust it off. "Are you sure about this" she asked as she turned to Fluttershy. "I have to Twilight." replied Fluttershy, "For Rocky." "Okay then." said Twilight, "then I'm ready to help." Meanwhile, Spike was showing Rocky his comic books. Rocky was quite impressed, he had never seen books like these before. In fact, it was the only book he had seen before. "Impressive." said Rocky to himself as he was reading along to one of Spike's comics, "I never knew who exciting books are." "Hey Rocky, how are you reading?" asked Spike, "Aren't you 3?" "What do you mean?" asked Rocky, "Can't any pony do this at this age?" "Uh...no." "Oh." At this point Fluttershy walked into the room. "Hey Spike," she called out, "Is Rocky with- Oh, there you are." Rocky smiled at Twilight Sparkle, and waved. "Hi Misses Twilight." he replied. "Were ready to open the portal. Are you coming?" "Okay." replied Rocky. He stood up and fallowed Twilight to the castle courtyard. Does Twilight's castle have a courtyard? I'm goanna pretend that it does. Anyway, the 4 gathered around the Courtyard and waited patiently as Twilight opened the spell book and began looking for the spell she was searching for. Flipping through the pages of the dull brown book, she read out loud the spells that book hold, trying to find the one she needed. "Hmm. I hope this is the one." said Twilight softly to herself. "Hmm, let's see. Tartars. Elysium. Crystal Empire. Crystal Empire!? Why not just take the train." Twilight continued, "Um, Portal to the Moon. Portal to Griffon Stone. Oooh, Griffon Stone. I go to save that one for later. Hmm..." The group waited around, sitting on the grass, waiting for Twilight to finish. It took almost 3 minutes before she had finally found the spell she was looking for. "Ah! Here it is. Portal to Chaosville. Not goanna lie, I thought it wasn't here." She blew on the page, dusting it off and wiped off any smudges the page may have. She looked closely at the book and read the words on the book. "Okay. Got it." she announced as she turned to Fluttershy. "Are you sure you want to do this?" she asked. "I have to Twilight." declared Fluttershy, "for Rocky." "Rocky? Are you sure you want to know where you're from that badly?" Twilight asked Rocky. "I have to Misses Twilight. That dream I had was telling me something. I can't ignore it." Twilight took a deep breath, and smiled. "Then I won't say otherwise." she replied. She read the spell one more time to make sure she would be preforming it right. She took a deep breath in, and slowly exhaled. Twilight closed her eyes, and began to concentrate. As her horn slowly began to glow, every one stared and watch carefully. Twilight slowly began to focus, as her horn glowed brighter. Slowly, sparks began to fly out, and the ground began to glow. Her magical aura began to shape a circle on the floor. Grunting and pushing herself to continue, Twilight began sweating. Rocky and Fluttershy watch anxiously as they watch Twilight trying to keep her power balanced so she can focus on the opening the portal. Twilight struggled to keep it together, but she didn't give up. As she concentrated on her magic, the circle changed color from purple to green and began to fill up with a spiral shaped aura and began to glow as bright as the sun. The gang was in awe, Twilight was nearly half way there. She closed her eyes tightly and her horn glowed brighter and brighter, until finally there was a flash of light. Twilight stopped to let herself relax. She breathed heavily, regaining her strength slowly. Fluttershy walked up to Twilight and asked if she was alright, but something stopped her in her tracks. The giant glowing spirally circle on the ground. It worked, Twilight had opened a portal to Chaosville. "You did it Twilight!" yelled Spike, "You did it." "Yes!" exclaimed Rocky, "Now I can see Mr. Discord, and he can tell me who I am." And so, Rocky and Fluttershy prepared to enter the portal to Chaosville. But little did they know, was that their trip to Chaosville, would soon be sending them on an adventure to a land far beyond Equestria. But before I can tell you this story, you'll have to stay tune for another chapter...
