"In the Hawaii Islands off the coast a navy aircraft carrier return back to port. That's when they discovered two new magic users, using their powers to bring up salvage from the sea. The navy personal pick them up and towed their boat back to their base," Spitfire reported to the brass.
Spitfire then brings up the files they made on the two magic users.
Maui Hook a young man named after the legendary hero and demigod of Hawaiian mythology. He is an Earth Pony who has the power of hooks. He wore little armor a metal breastplate, a helmet, a metal kilt and matching pairs of gauntlets and knee high boots. His weapon is a great fish-hook that's more like a grappling hook that is connected to his arm by the right gauntlet and a cable that can lengthen up to a point. He is able to hook just about anything and pull it towards him.
Moana Finder is a unicorn pony and her power is of navigation. She is dress in the same armor as her friend but with a unicorn helmet. Her weapons are a compass that allows her to find any location and a large old fashion telescope that she can use as a club. She was using her power to find sunken treasure and Maui would bring it up.
"With Magnet Rose being flown in by military plane bringing the number of young magic users to 37," Spitfire said.
With the Changeling attacks all magic users are to be found before they're captured by the Changelings. The magic users came out of the wood works after the Changeling attack, and even with the Chinese Government locking down on information. News of their lone magic user captured by the Changelings quickly spread. The lone Changeling Breeder that was captured by Taiwan, has been force to talk and revealed that her orders were to create a hive allowing them to make a beachhead in this world. The China magic user would be use to help create stronger breeds of Changelings. And it seems that the Breeders are what Chrysalis was before the last queen died and the Changelings all follow her. She has an effect on all the Changelings that all queens have that makes all hive members obey her.
Which gave them a plan of attack and put an end to the Changeling threat. As long as Chrysalis is queen the attacks would continue as she would never live in the shadows as the past queens had done. But if she were to be killed the hive would break apart unless a strong and powerful Breeder manages to take power as it was how Chrysalis became the current queen. Without her the hive will just break apart into smaller hives as there is no Breeder as powerful as Chrysalis is to replace her, yet.
The governments have setup their defenses since the attacks and are searching for more magic users. With Spitfire proving that the portals can be sealed by a magic base attack, the other governments are increasing their search for magic users. While the US has the most magic users and the sole train one, the other countries are trying to catch up. As even with invasions from another world the bureaucrats are making power plays using the magic users. People are in a panic with the idea of portals opening and monsters coming out, with only magic being able to seal it. Countries around the world want their own magic users for protection and the ones who do have magic users are keeping a tight hold on theirs.
England lost one of their three magic users, India was force to kill their lone magic user and are now trying to find a replacement using the shard taken from the body. Israeli is keeping their magic user under heavy guard as the other countries around them are in a panic in finding their own. Australia two magic users are also under heavy guard and are learning how to control their magic by video chat with Sunset. The same goes with the three magic users from Ireland. Poland is asking for Lightning Hussar to return to Poland once her training is completed. Most of the countries of South America are searching for the magic girl who is hiding somewhere in the jungle. The other countries are either searching for any magic user or trying to make some with the shards if they have them. The Russians found two more magic users, the Baba Yaga twins. Two powerful Unicorn types with the power of wood and levitation.
Japan on the other hand their lone magic user simply just left because of how she was treated, making a huge impact and how magic users are viewed. Japan having lost their sole magic user because of how she was treated by her hometown because of the traditional values they had. Are now scrambling to fix the bad PR and are trying to get Leaf Wind back, doing just about anything to please her so she would return. They couldn't force her as she is 18 making her a legal adult, going through all the proper channels and gotten a green card making her a duel citizen for both countries. The politicians on both sides are making power plays with Wind Leaf as the ball. And with her power of healing others, is causing much unrest. One trip to Ponyvile hospital had her healing many with some would had died otherwise. Sunset did explain that healing magic can't heal sickness or regrow lost body parts. But the real prize was that Wind Leaf magic can heal cancer, to a point as some people who she tried to heal are just far too gone. Now people are traveling from all over to be healed by Wind Leaf, which some people are using to build up their power bases. (1)
"There is also another matter," Spitfire said to the brass as she brings up another screen. The picture shown is of three children, one a teenager along with a boy and a girl. "This is Megan Williams, with her brother Danny and her sister Molly. They disappeared during the early 1980's from the family farm in the mid-west. From what was discovered, before they disappear there a rainbow that appeared in their farm which disappear the same time they did. Their parents revealed that their children often talk about a magical land of ponies and saving it from monsters. Sunset talk with them by video chat and from the stories she remembers is a prefect match for the stories of the ancient times of Dream Valley. Which is the place the Williams children told their parents they go to by the rainbow bridge or from the tales Sunset remembers the bridge of light."
"The bridge didn't just send them to another world but into the past?" one of the brass ask.
"That's what Sunset thinks what happen. Much of the pony history was lost after the three tribes left Dream Valley. The only one who might know anything would be Discord," Spitfire said as she looks around expecting Discord to pop up.
"Over here," Discord shouted as he appeared in the picture standing in front of the Williams children.
"Do you know anything?" Spitfire ask.
"Nope sorry. This is beyond my time, thousands of years to be a matter of fact. All, I know is that something happen that forced the ponies of that time to leave the valley and its something really horrible that they refused to speak about it or record it so that future generations wouldn't learn what really happen there. And thanks to the chaos magic covering the valley no one can use magic to see what happen in the past, even me. From what I managed to piece together the ponies did something horrible that cause them to bury what they did and what happen to those three kids. The windigos were created from what happen there, and windigos are spirits of cold that feeds on hatred and strife. They turn the entire valley into a frozen wasteland that even my magic can't effect. Something in the valley is allowing them to grow in numbers and keeping the valley frozen. But of course, I have no interest in finding out so, I never bother to learn what happen," Discord explains before disappearing.
"There you have it," Spitfire said.
"Is that all?" one brass ask.
They all waited but Discord didn't reappear.
"Yes looks like that's a much help as we're going to get from him," Spitfire said.
