The Burning Traveler

by Dramize the Salamander


The Orchard Part 1

While the colts and Fillies were we're in the proving ground a mob of pony parents were in friendship castle asking their hero's the main six to help them get their foals home safe. Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow looked at Twilight who was going to agree when spike ran in with a letter from the princess which she picked up with her magic and looked over before looking at the other castle the towns ponies had started to call castle violence with worry.

"What's wrong Twilight?" Applejack asked as everypony started looking at the kirin's castle with their princess.

"The leaders of world are coming together and Celestia want the meeting place to be here."

"Well that makes sense but what's got you so worried about them."

"She asked me to convince Absolute and Larverida to join in."

"They said no to her."

"From what's on the letter Larverida said something about their titles and only seeing queens of power as her equal and those are the only being she considers and Absolute just flat out said no.

"I see well then lets go." Pinkie said with a new look in her eyes.

"Really Pinkie so soon?" Rarity asked a little shock in her voice.

"Well it's the obvious conclusion and do you really want to try to taking the foal back without his permission considering he said we would take the kirin curriculum this is probably part of it and Absolute seems like one to bring punishment down quickly." Pinkie got up from her throne and leapt over the crowd and was about to run out the door but the everypony heard a horn blast so loud they could have sworn the floor was going to crack.

"WHAT IN TARTARUS WAS THAT!" Rainbow yelled removing her hand from her ears.

"It sounded like a warning siren from the kirin castle." Twilight flew up to look out one of the windows that pointed towards town. "What the?" Twilight said in confusion as she saw kirin in teams of three uprooting trees from around town and carrying them off at an blinding speed. Twilight teleported outside. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!" Twilight yelled magically enhancing her voice getting every kirin's attention for a second before they went back to work as if she wasn't there she was about to yell again but Frozell stopped her.

"Yo Twilight where's Applejack?"

"In side." Twilight answered Frozell was about to fly in but Twilight grabbed her shoulder. "But first what was that horn, where are you taking the trees and why do you need Applejack?"

"We really don't have time but I will tell you this we are trying to save every plant that would matter in the town.

"From what?" Twilight asked only for defeat to suddenly appear on Frozell's face as she looked at sweet apple acres twilight turn to the farm to see the orchard turning gray. "Frozell what is going on?"

"She here were to late." Frozell whispered to himself.

"WHO? WHO IS DOING THIS?"

"Nagative Demonic the famine."

"Twilight what's going on?" Applejack said leading all the other ponies outside.

"Applejack I am so sorry we couldn't find you in time."

"What are you talking about Frozell?"

"Well theirs no reason to hide it from you, come with me." Frozell held out her hand which Applejack took with out hesitation.

"Show me I'm the element of honesty I can't be afraid of the truth." Frozell pulled Applejack in and took off for Sweet Apple Acres and after a few minutes Applejack her new worst nightmare every tree in her orchard turned to stone. "Who did this Frozell?" she ask seething.

"Nagative Demonic the famine."

"Frozell are you talking about me behind my back I thought you were better than that." Frozell stiffened before turning around and jumping back to dodge a katana welded by a kirin with black scales around her forearms light red fur, she had black folded dragon wings sticking of the green jacket she wore and a light green and purple mane match her lose pants. She had long curved black horns and two tails with dagger on their ends.

Frozell gave a sharp whistle and Fenrir came running leaving small patches of frost in his wake stopping next to his master. "Fenrir take Applejack and get out of here." Fenrir whimpered at Frozell shaking his head. "Don't worry boy I will meet you as soon as I'm done here. Now go." Frozell rushed at Nagative mist pouring from her mouth as she said. "Angelic Chaos." Two giant wolf heads made of ice appear next to her with open mouths. " heat and cold in one to rain judgement. Divine howling devastator." Both wolf head fired a sonic blast so powerful that some of the stone trees shattered and Nagative was sent flying into a stone tree where she was buried under more stone. Frozell was panting as she looked over at the pony and dog that was still their. "Why are you still here? RUN I CAN'T BEAT HER!" Applejack looked at Fenrir who looked back at her before both of them walked next to Frozell.

"Maybe not alone but I'm here to help." Applejack said getting into a fighting stance. "And beside she has got to pay for doing all of this."

"Your both fools you realize that." Frozell said with a smile. "Fine then but I need you at my level so say this nidhogg."

"Oook nidhogg." Fenrir ran into Applejack turning into a bright blue ball as he hit her square in the chest sinking in then ice rose up from the ground entombing her only to shatter a second later revealing her kirin form. Blonde mane turned stark white and light blue scales now ran across her now blonde golden fur along with thicker silver ones the ran down her legs. Silver blue horns curved back from her head and long mace like dragon tail replace her old pony one. "This feel amazing." She said closing her fist before looking at the shifting rubble which exploded at them revealing an uninjured unamused Nagative.

"Oh I looks do get to have some fun." Nagative said reading her blade.
