//------------------------------// // Chapter Six // Story: The Return of The Terror // by Vanilla Mocha //------------------------------// Wind slapped against bat pony Breeze's face as she flew through the air. "Aww, yeah!" She flew faster. The hyper pony had always loved the feel of cold air pressing against her fur. Looking down, she spotted a tree. Deciding to land on it, she pulled out a notebook piece of paper. "Alrighty, gotta get... Who?" She mumbled to herself. Quillton and Sunset had put together a list of ponies for Breeze to talk to. They were also some of Mocha's close friends, and if they knew anything or wanted to help, these ponies were the most likely candidates. "First off..." Breeze whispered to herself, "Thunderbolt Sentinel." Folding the paper and putting it back where she got it from- where ever that was -she launched back into the sky. "Hey, I know him!" Breeze darted off. The yellow pegasus was trotting through town on his way home from work. He is one of Princess Twilight Sparkle's guards. Breeze landed in front of him, causing the stallion to jump back from surprise. "Woah! Hey there, Breeze!" "What's up?" Breeze grinned. Before Sentinel could reply, she jumped up and did a loop in the air and shouted, "Me, of course! Hey, you know Mocha, right? 'Nilla Mocha, that mare that drinks all the coffee?" "Yeah, why?" The guard asked. Breeze flapped her wings. "Um, you see... There's been a lot of drama. I'll explain on the way there. "On the way where?" "To the next pony on the list! Just flap those wings and follow." Breeze took off. Curious, Thunderbolt followed her. ~~~ "What?" Pony Pint asked. Pint is a pale yellow unicorn mare with red and orange hair for her mane and tail. She looked at Breeze. "I want to know what's going on, too." Thunderbolt rolled his eyes. "Wait," A red stallion with brown hair and eyes asked, "If this means protecting one of my marefriend's friends, can I come along too?" "Sure, I guess. Uhm, what's your name?" Breeze asked. "Thunder Knight," the earth stallion replied with a smile. "Great. Hey, is your sister's name Redrose Heart?" Breeze glanced down at her list, then back up at Pony Pint. "Yeah, why?" The unicorn responded. "We need her, too." ~~~ "So that's why I gathered ya'll, okay?" Breeze tiredly huffed as she walked down the road to Galaxy's house. The six ponies behind her nodded. A red mare earthling, named Jinx Parody, was found next. She has a black and white striped mane and tail with her left eye orange and her right one green. Then the five had found Film Reel, a blue unicorn stallion with blue eyes, and red mane and tail, and glasses. "Great... Now... Galaxy..." The batmare knocked on the door. Quilton answered it. "Gala- oh, hi Breeze." "Galaxy... Yes... Where?" She could barely keep her eyes open. Sighing, the stallion replied, "Still at Valerium's, I presume." Looking past her, he saw the six ponies and smiled. "Hello, I'm Quillton Brooks. Please come in." The six ponies entered, leaving Breeze outside. "Can I clock out now?" Breeze wheezed. Brooks chuckled. "Sure." "Thanks, oh, and I explained to them what's happening." Breeze flew off. "Thank you, dearie." Quillton shut the door behind the last pony in. Turning around, he looked at the group. "I am afraid that there's even more unfortunate news that Breeze didn't tell you, mostly because she probably didn't know." Quillton told them the theory of Mocha being behind her whole attention-seeking shenanigan, but then followed up by stating he personally did not believe it to be true. "Not to mention Valerium." Crystal Harmony spoke up. Frost nodded. "Yes, and Joy." Sunset sighed. "The Summer Sun Celebration is coming up soon. We need to get all of this drama out of the way as soon as possible. I came back from my other world to celebrate it with my coltfriend, Quillton. I don't need Mocha messing this up, or Joy, or whoever." Everypony nodded. "I will do my best to help." Redrose smiled. "So will I. I talk to Mocha a lot, and she's not mean like that theory says." Film Reel added. "I know how to use the Force. Being taught by Master Yoda, I will try to maintain peace unless fighting is a complete need." Jinx commented. "Alright, sounds great!" Quillton smiled. However, if he had known what was about to happen, he would have been shaking due to the confused state of being in both fear and excitement.
