//------------------------------// // Chapter 18: Ponyville, Sweet Ponyville // Story: The Long Life of Breeze Rider // by Tyler-the-Brony //------------------------------// “Well, I did even better than I thought I would. It took me less than a few hours to get here.” I spoke aloud to myself, finally seeing Ponyville in the distance. “I wonder what else the girls have been up to.” I thought aloud again, remembering the article I had read a while before. The article had talked about how 6 ponies from Ponyville had joined together and defeated Nightmare Moon to rescue Princess Luna. I had clearly recognized 2 of the ponies pictured, and remembered 3 of the others after a bit. Who would’ve thought my former students and their friends would grow up to be bearers of The Elements of Harmony? Not me, that’s for sure. I hadn’t seen anything like that in my visions. I had seen the addition of the purple unicorn, Twilight Sparkle I believed was her name, to their group of friends though. They hadn’t made the news since then, but that didn’t mean they weren’t having adventures all their own. “We have a lot to catch up on. On both sides.” I said aloud. Then I stopped, just outside of Ponyville’s farthest limits. An idea had sprung into my mind. Why not make a grand entrance for myself? I immediately set off flying up and over Ponyville, to make a noticeable entrance right in the center of town. I had to start off with our signature Thunder Stream. Once I had established my own Thunder Stream, I began to make large, interlocking oval shapes with it trailing behind me to create the The Culmination Cloud. This move was typically done by 2 or 3 Wonderbolts to save time and make it larger, but any of the Wonderbolts could also do it solo. Once I was satisfied with the size of my Cloud, I began to start using my own moves. I looped up and over my Cloud to use the Hook Kick. This move allowed you to kick the cloud away without dissipating it, which would then play a large part in my own signature move, The Breeze Stream. The Breeze Stream involved pivoting yourself at a very high speed while diving, creating a downward Jetstream. Using the intense speed generated by this move, you can part the Culmination Cloud without having to use the various kicks and moves of most of the Wonderbolts. If all that didn’t give me an entrance, nothing would. As I prepared my Breeze Stream and The Culmination Cloud reached the predicted height I had kicked it towards, I could just see a couple of ponies off to the edge of the town square. I smiled as I recognized both of them, although the umbrella hats were new.
