Nightshade and the girls all arrived in the Sentient palace each landing on the ground on top of Nightshade. Odion stood waiting and staring down at Nightshade and the ponies, "You were successful," he said smiling. Nightshade chuckled as the girls got off of him, "Yes but unfortunately it wasn't very easy," he said.
Looking around Nightshade scratched his head, "Where are the others?" he asked. Odion smiled, "Resting up from the training they had under gone while you were lazying about!" he said. Nightshade smiled, "Well I've got the girls now. Does that mean we're ready?" he asked.
Odion shook his head, "You still haven't mastered your equestrian magic. Star Bright will take you to the training area to test your magic skills till you are ready to go. That and one more step is yet to be taken. Now hurry and find her," he said.
The the mane 6 were about to follow but Odion held up a hand, "I understand your connections but i must say no. This is a test only for Nightshade. Please follow me to the garden to meet the rest of your company in arms. I promise you'll all get along very well," he said.
Nightshade ran back quickly causing the girls to freeze in place from sheer surprise, "I'm sorry. I know that we're on a tight schedule but I need you to hold onto this for me," he said placing a drill shaped pendant in Odion's hand.
The pendant began to radiate with a purple aura, "When it's time for its use you'll know what to do. Just pierce right on through. Catch Ya' Later!" Nightshade said running off towards Star Brights quarters. Odion looked at Nightshade then to the pendant and scowled looked at the pendant curiously, "Pierce through the heavens?" he mumbled reading the text engraved into the pendant's side.
Naruto, Natsu, and Goku were laying against the same tree snoozing while Obi-Wan walked through the garden. Anakin and Sasuke both were chatting about certain fighting styles when Odion stepped into the room, "I trust you gentleman are enjoying yourselves," he said.
Naruto woke up and saw the ponies, "More ponies?" he asked. Odion chuckled, "one moment please," he said turning to the ponies holding out his hands. A green light emitted from Odions hands and a great flash lit the garden. The green light faded and the ponies had turned into humans!
Except for Twilight and Pinkie Pie, the other girls all looked at themselves and screamed. Goku and Natsu both jumped and hit a branch. Twilight turned to the girls, "Calm down girls there's nothing wrong. I'm pretty sure this is only temporary. Right sir?" she asked.
Odion nodded, "My name is Odion Ms. Sparkle, and yes this transformation is only temporary. The transformation should last a half an hour. After that you will be ponies until your human forms are needed once more," he said.
Pinkie Pie started skipping around the room and past Sasuke and Anakin, "You expect us to believe these girls will be able to help us defeat Roark?" Sasuke asked darkly. Odion glared at the young ninja, "These girls have defeated plenty of foes together than you could think Master Uchiha. These girls are the representations of harmony. You and Master Uzumaki are the representations of friendship. Master Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are the representations of Wisdom. Natsu is the representation of Will. Son-Goku is the representation of Hope. Lord Nightshade is the representation of light itself," he said.
Sasuke rolled his eyes, "Let's just hurry up and get this over with," he said. Naruto huffed, "Hey cut it out Sasuke! At least give them a chance!" he said. Obi-Wan returned and saw the girls, "You ladies must be the ones Nightshade left to recruit for our journey. I am Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I come from Master Odions realm," he said bowing.
Natsu smiled, "I'm Natsu Dragneel. I'm a Fairy Tail wizard. I come from Elustar Dragnite's realm," he said. Goku stretched, "My name is Goku. I'm a martial artist from Daro Galaxy's realm," he said. Twilight smiled, "I am Twilight Sparkle. I'm a Princess of Equestria. I'm also the representation of the element magic," she said.
Pinkie pie poked her head out of the tree above Natsu, "I'm Pinkie Pie. Back home I'm an earth pony. I'm the repre-whatever it is of Laughter," she said ruffling Natsu's hair. Pinkie went back into the tree and Natsu chased after her. Rainbow Dash laughed, "I'm Rainbow Dash. Back in Equestria I'm a pegasus. I represent the element of loyalty," she said. Applejack smiled, "I'm an earth pony back home just like Pinkie Pie. I represent the Element of Honesty," she said.
Rarity smiled, "I'm a unicorn from Equestria and I design clothing. I represent the Element Of Generosity," she said. Sasuke rolled his eyes and turned towards the lake. To Odion's surprise the girls all took on the appearances of their human counterparts through Celestia's enchanted mirror.
Odion kept a close eye on the heroes as they demonstrated their abilities and purposes in each other's realms. That is except for Sasuke who remained quiet sitting by the lake watching them. A half an hour had passed and the girls had returned to their pony forms. It seemed Naruto had only been teasing the ponies about their forms but that was only natural due to his past.
Odion smiled, "What a fine set of companions you've made Nightshade," he said to himself. After a longer wait the heroes all settled down and began to rest and enjoy each other's company waiting for Nightshade's return.
Nightshade was on the ground bloodied and bruised panting. Star Bright lay on the other side of the training room panting and steadily walked over to Nightshade and began to heal him. Nightshade coughed and gagged, "You always push yourself to far…" Star Bright whispered. Nightshade was distant and Star Bright knew it was going to take a little longer for him to fully heal.
Nightshade stirred and raised his hand. Star Bright's eyes widened as Nightshade got to his feet as his body began to heal itself without any of his or her abilities active. Nightshade turned towards Star and smiled as he cracked his neck, "That's better," he said.
Star Bright's eyes turned hot pink as she looked into Nightshade's energy stream and noticed his energies mixing together... They were all feeding into Nightshade's wounds simultaneously and she gasped. Nightshade scowled, "What's wrong?" he asked. Star Bright frowned, "It's time…" she said. Nightshade raised an eyebrow as she pulled him into the throne room.
Ceremonial robes had been forced onto Nightshade which he did not appreciate. The heroes Nightshade had gathered stood by the thrones as Nightshade stood in the middle of the throne room on the Sentient Seal.
Odion looked at Nightshade then to Star Bright. "Revan Arrow, The Gallant warrior and representation of light. You have conquered many trials and have done all that is near impossible. Today you we the sentients of the main realms will bless you with our power," he said.
An energy wave blasted from Galaxy hit Nightshade from behind surging throughout his body as two more waves came from Elustar, and Kisashi. "As the heroes unite so shall the sentients. You have proven you are worthy. A leader, a friend, and a true hero. Take your place among us… As The Sentient King," Odion said as waves of energy shot forth from his body and Star Brights.
Naruto began to step forward but Obi-wan and Goku put an arm out, "This is meant to be. Don't interfere," Obi-wan said. Naruto frowned but understood. The energy pulsing in Nightshade was powerful and exhilarating, overwhelming. Nightshade's eyes began to flicker rapidly between his separate forms as the energy began to expand and an enormous flash lit the entire palace.
The Sentients were all on their knees panting and Nightshade stood in the middle his eyes were now silver. His clothing returned to normal but his hair was longer than before, "Well then," he said practicing a couple of movements. Odion and the others rose, "It is done…" he said.
Nightshade turned to the other's, "I guess this means we're ready," he said. The heroes all nodded. Star Bright walked up to Nightshade and smiled, "We believe in you," she said smiling. Nightshade nodded, "First I need to see the elements," he said looking at the ponies.
The ponies all walked up and gave Nightshade the elements, "What are you-?" Twilight was cut off as Nightshade sent forth a silver energy that engulfed the Elements of Harmony. A table now stood between Nightshade and Twilight with multiple weapons on it. The ponies were also turned into their human forms once more but they still had their other pony features.
Nightshade's eyes turned back to normal as he held up a rapier blade, "Behold the Blade's of Harmony. These will serve as your weapons as we go to confront Roark," he said. The girls looked at the blades, "But Nightshade… We don't use weapons let alone know how to use them," Fluttershy said.
Nightshade nodded, "I know you haven't but in the shadow realm you will need to. The blades themselves will instantly give you the knowledge you need to use each of them. They also hold their original abilities when you work together," he said
Each of the blades held a resemblance to each of its wielder. Rarity held the rapier Nightshade had picked up that had three gems at above the hilt but the element of generosity glowed while the other two didn't. Twilight held a long sword with a cross guard that resembled her crown the element of magic at the bottom of the hilt.
Rainbow Dash held a bastard sword with her element in the cross guard. Pinkie Pie held a thick short sword that resembled a piece of candy which she could throw with a rope attached to it. Applejack held a massive flamberge that she could strap to her back. Fluttershy's weapon however was the most peculiar. Fluttershy's blade could separate into two separate blade's that looked like vine's.
As the girls were about to put the blade's away the elements engulfed there users until they were each covered into their own armor decorated with their specific element. "Now it seems we can begin," Nightshade said chuckling. The stars above the palace sparkled and each of the heroes looked to one another each thinking the same idea, *We can do this, and we will succeed. Roark… Your time has come!*
