Silver called to their little sister, who came out from behind the rock slab. "Are they all gone?" Heaven asked. "Yeah, and I doubt there'll be anymore," Raiden said, laying down on the floor. Brian then noticed an alert expression on Stealth's face. "What's up Stealth?" Brian asked. "I can sense more life forms. They don't appear to be as hostile as those wood wolves," Stealth replied, looking towards the door. "How could he notice us?!" a rough sounding voice said. "This guy must have some sort of sixth sense," another, calmer voice said. "Uh, if you guys are peaceful, then you should know we mean no harm!" Silver called. The nine sibling looked in awe at what came out from behind the door. Six ponies of unusual coloring, one with a horn, two with wings, one with a horn and wings, and two with neither. "I don't believe it, unicorns, pegasi, and an alicorn?" Raiden asked. Silver raised his hand, which glowed in a cyan light. "Ok, if I understand this correctly, their names are Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie. They came from the nearby town of Ponyville to investigate something by request of their leader," Silver said. The six ponies stood in shock. "How did you know all that?!?" Twilight asked. "I have psychic powers. They let me read minds, lift stuff, and attack with," Silver replied. "Interesting," Twilight said. "And to answer your question, yes, we caused those pillars of fire and lightning. They were actually caused by Brian and Raiden," Silver added, looking at his brothers. "Let me guess, you read my mind?" Twilight asked dryly. Silver nodded. "Well, I guess its time for our side of the introductions. My name is Silver Fujiyama. These are my brothers, Raiden, Icezer, Francisco, Brian, Heiru, Akira, and Takashi, but the last two would prefer if you called them Stealth and Echo-Echo, respectively. And lastly, this is our little sister, Heaven Fujiyama," Silver said, introducing himself and his brothers and sister, "By the way, where is that other friend of yours? The one named Discord?" Silver asked. "I'm right here!" Discord said, appearing out of thin air. Brian and Heiru instinctively moved their hands in front of Heaven. "It's alright guys. According to Fluttershy, he's a good guy," Silver said to his brothers. Brian and Heiru had skeptical looks on their faces but relaxed their hands. "Anyway, Celestia wanted us to report back when we found the source of a mysterious power she sensed," Twilight said. "You kids better come with us back to Ponyville. Right now, we're smack dab in the middle of one of the most dangerous places in Equestria," Applejack said. The seven brothers gave a questioning look to Francisco. "Francisco, care to explain?" Raiden asked. Francisco froze up, and had an extremely nervous look on his face. "Uh, well, when I opened the portal, I may have gotten a slight headache, that may have thrown off my aim," Francisco replied sheepishly. "And you didn't tell us this, because?" Silver asked. "Well, everything was moving too fast for me to think clearly," Francisco said. "In any case, we should at least check out the town," Icezer said. "Good idea. I don't want to be around if any more of those wood wolves show up again," Heiru commented. "'Wood wolves'?" Twilight asked. She then realized what he was talking about, "Oh, you mean Timberwolves," she said. "Well, whatever they're called, lets just get out of here," Silver said. With that, they left.
