//------------------------------// // Training and Arrival // Story: Ice Dragon in Equestria // by Fullmetal spike97 //------------------------------// Training and Arrival After looking around, without anybody spotting me, I came to a conclusion that I came at the time before the show even started, because when I was looking around Sweet Apple Acres the CMC’s club house wasn't rebuilt, The golden oaks library I saw it was unoccupied by twilight and spike, and when I spotted a calendar through the widow of the Sugar Cube Corner I saw that the summer sun celebration was next week. Which means that I could practice my new abilities and master the enough to protect the mane six when the head to the Everfree forest to look for the Elements of Harmony, but the question is where would I train? ‘Why not In the forest we were just in? It's a suitable place to train; open space, constant danger to help you keep alert of your surroundings and to help with your reflexes plus to help with your bankai training.’ Hyourinmaru made a good point but- wait bankai training? ‘I thought I already had bankai?’ I asked him confused ‘You do but we're going to train you to increase the time you could hold it.’ He explained ‘and you need to learn how to wield me in combat and how to use kido’ He made a good point, in both the anime and manga Hitsugaya he still hasn't completely mastered bankai because he has a limit on how long he could hold it. I also need to master shunpo to where I can use it during a battle and I was super excited to learn kidō, I had memorized most of the incantation that they showed in both anime and manga so this should be easy. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (2 hours later deep in the Everfree forest) OH MY GOD THIS IS SO FREAKING HARD I was currently lying on the ground face first after another failed attempt at doing Hado #31 shakkahō it kept on blowing up in my face. ‘You're putting too much spirit energy into the spell and you weren't concentrating on on your target or the spell do it again!’ ‘Hey Hadō is a lot difficult for me to use I was doing great learning Bakudō spells’ ‘Bakudō is fine when you're trying to capture or immobilize your opponent but you also need offensive spells to damage your enemy during a battle’ Again, he makes a good point but I had enough Hadō training for today, I want to see if I could hold my bankai for as long as in the anime or not ‘Okay but can we drop Hadō training for today I want to improve my bankai’ ‘Very well, we will continue Hadō spells tomorrow, now Increase your spirit energy and release our bankai’ I do as he says until I reached a point I knew I could perform bankai BANKAI, DAIGUREN HYOURINMARU The temperature around me seemed to drop drastically as I unleashed my bankai. Wings and a tail made of ice were formed on my back and lower back, respectively, and my arms and legs were covered in ice to look like dragon feet and claws, and finally three four-petaled ice were floating behind me signifying that I had yet to fully master my bankai ‘Okay time to see what we could do’ After a few more hours of training we decided that that was enough for today and rested for the rest of the day. Luckily I had some snacks in my backpack along with the rest of my things I had brought with me to show my friends- But that's when it hit me I couldn't remember who my friends and family were and I couldn't remember my name or anything before the convention. I was really starting to freak out now ‘You need to calm down-’ ‘How am I supposed to calm down! I can't remember anything before I came here! I can't remember my friend or my family or if I had any! I can't even remember my own name!’ ‘Just take a deep breath and try to calm down' I did as he said and managed to calmed myself and try to think hard on who I was at least remember my name. ‘I can't remember my name. What am I going to do’ ‘Remember we can ask the princesses for help after the summer sun celebration, now rest for the day we'll continue training tomorrow’ Yeah I think that's a good idea, but what will I do for the rest of the day? Then I remembered that my backpack came with me to this world hopefully everything's in perfect condition as I had it before all this happened. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Luckily everything was OK and I was right to bring a solar charger to recharge my phone and computer, everything else I bought from the convention was here as well but the plushy was ruined by timberwolf on the third day I was training thinking it was real and the hollow mask was gone. For the rest of the week it was the same; wake up, find food, train until 7 or 8, find more food, then relax either using my phone or computer to entertain myself either games or shows I save on them, I even found a waterfall bathed, but I was constantly attacked by some of the creatures that live around here, but they back away after I defeated an Ursa Major, who was trying to prove it was stronger than me, with by bankai, now no other monster dared to attack me.and my training was going great I mastered all of the Bakudō spell that I know and most of the Hadō spell, but I still had the crossed shape flowers floating but instead of three I had five of them meaning i can use it for a longer period of time, but i still had some more training to do. Then the day before the summer sun celebration came and i decided to relax until the mane six entered the forest. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (Twilight POV) At the Castle in Canterlot a young mare named Twilight Sparkle was being paranoid. She’s a unicorn with deep violet coat and darker mane and tail with a lighter shade of purple and pink highlight going down both mane and tail. Something has been going on in the forest near ponyville, it was causing some major disturbance in the atmosphere and Princess Celestia, and surprisingly spike, felt a strong, unfamiliar, energy signature coming from there. I tried to convince Princess Celestia to allow me to investigate the weird energy, but she denied it telling me that the energy was coming from the most dangerous forest in all Equestria. Initially I immediately dropped the idea and went to do more researching I then found an old prophecy that Nightmare Moon would return to plunge the world in eternal night on the thousand summer sun celebration, which happened to be tomorrow, I have to warn the Princess about this. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX “I can’t believe that the princess thinks that the prophecy would be a myth. We need to prepare incase Nightmare Moon shows up, not checking up on the celebration” I told spike as we were on a charage going to ponyville for the Summer Sun Celebration. “Relax Twilight, maybe mom’s right maybe it is just an old ponies tale, but remember what she assigned us to do; We’re supposed to check up on the preparation of the festival and she also said you're supposed to make some friend while we’re there” Said spike as he was sitting back on the seat without a care in the world. Spike is a dragon with purple scales and green underbelly and spikes going from on top of his head to almost the tip of his spade tail with emerald eye and he was a year older than Twilight. He also towered over her by a foot They meet when Celestial introduced them after Twilight had to perform her magic capabilities to be accepted in Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns and lost control, after almost giving up on the entrance exam, before Celestia calmed her down, and fixed everything that Twilight changed or destroyed. She then appointed Twilight to be her personal student and to study under her because of the strong magic that she had possessed. She then introduced her to her adopted son, who she hatched a few years ago, and became best friends and with spike assisting her on her studies. “I know but as soon as we finish the preparation for the festival we'll head straight for the library to do some more research” “But she also said to make some friend, remember?” “That can wait. We have to be prepared if Nightmare Moon shows up and decided to throw all of Equestria into eternal night!” She then proceeds to mumble to herself, thinking of ways to help prevent the possible threat that Equestria might face. ‘What am I going to do with you Twi’ Spike thought to himself with a small smile as they neared Ponyville.
