Back with the ponies...
"Princess Celestia!" Twilight said, running to the chariot and then stopping within two feet from the chariot, with me and the group following...
Soon enough, Princess Celestia, a white, regal (Pegacorn? Unisus? ... I'll just call them Winged Unicorns...) Winged Unicorn, wearing gold regalia, along with her sister, Princess Luna, a midnight blue, regal Winged Unicorn, wearing platinum and black(?) regalia, before Princess Celestia smiled and said "Twilight Sparkle, my prized pupil..."
"Hello, Princess Celestia. Hello, Princess Luna." Twilight said, bowing, with the ponies bowing as well, before I looked to Mystery, Arthur, and the Dead Beats, who shrugged, before I shrugged and got on one knee, with the others following suit, except for Mystery, who bowed like Twilight was, and the Dead Beats, who didn't have legs at all...
We then all stood up, with Princess Celestia saying "So lovely to see you again, as well as your friends."
"Indeed, it is lovely to see you all again." Princess Luna said, smiling, as well...
"The pleasure is ours, your majesties." Rarity said, smiling...
Princess Celestia nodded, before she turned to me and her eyes widened so bit, before she asked "Twilight, who is your new friend?"
Twilight looked to me and said "Oh, that's Lewis... he's the one who, along with his friend, Mystery," before she pointed to Mystery with her hoof, who waved, "stalled Discord long enough for us to use the Elements on him and seal him back in stone... if it weren't for him and Mystery, Discord would still be free."
Princess Luna looked to me and said "Hmm... you look very odd to be a skeleton, evident by the skull... how are you doing that, though?"
I gave her a questioning look, before she rephrased the question and asked "How is your skull floating above where your neck would be?"
I realized this, before I thought for a moment and said "I... don't know. I only know my name, Lewis Pepper, my species, which was originally human, now a Poltergeist, and that I can control fire and do other ghostly things..."
They flinched at the sound of my voice, clearly surprised from the sound of it, before I said "Sorry."
I then looked to Mystery, who said "It is an honor to meet you, your majesties. My name is Mystery, and no, I'm not just a dog... I'm a Kitsune.", before he turned Kitsune, now at the same height as the Princesses...
The Princesses were shocked to the core, before Princess Luna shook out of her stupor and said "... We were not suspecting this."
I chuckled at this, before I said "Well, the yellow haired human with the mechanical/robotic arm and hand is Arthur and the purple ghosts with the yellow hearts on their chests are the Dead Beats."
The Dead Beats let out a chorus of "Hello!"'s, as Arthur smiled sheepishly and said "H-Hello."
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna smile and nod, before I notice a white pony with black stripes running towards us, as I ask "Excuse me, Princesses, but, do you know who that is?"
They looked in the same direction I was looking and Twilight then said "Zecora!"
"Ah, Twilight! It is good to see that you are alright!" The white, bla-no, ZECORA, said, as she smiled and ran up to us...
Twilight ran to her and hugged her, as did the others (Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie, and Spike), but me, Arthur, Mystery, the Dead Beats, Princess Luna, and Princess Celestia just raised our eyebrows in confusion... or, in me and the Dead Beats case, raised our nonexistent eyebrows in confusion...
Zecora finally noticed me and the others, before she said "Hmm... it looks like I'm not the only one that discovered something within the Everfree Forest... and I am guessing, as well, that these 8 aren't tourists."
We raised eyebrows at this, with me and Mystery starring at the Princesses, with them starring back at us...
"What do you mean by that, Zecora, darling?" Rarity asked.
"New monsters have arrived in the forest that is my home, but these do not carry the Destructive Syndrome." Zecora explained.
This just made them more confused, and with Twilight asking "Wait, new monsters? And they aren't destructive?"
Zecora nodded and said "Indeed, Twilight... but, I do not believe they will drop down from a fight if one gives them a hostile fright."
This made them all tense up, before Lewis said, floating forward "Ms. Zecora, when did you meet these monsters?"
Zecora looked to Lewis and said "10 minutes ago, my friendly Spectre, but they do not seem to be wreckers."
"The ones that confronted me were a short skeleton and his human girlfriend, but with the Human's, Frisk's kindness and the short skeleton's, Sans', puns and rhymes, we became quick friends." Zecora explained, chuckling a bit...
This alone made Lewis all the more intrigued, before he asked "Would you mind bringing them here?"
Zecora nodded and said "Of course, but I will need some extra help, if you have the resources... just, don't be too hostile, as they need our remorse."
"Why is that?" Lewis asked.
"These monsters were trapped underground for thousands of years by seven human mages... they may have been trapped since the Dark Ages." Zecora explained, making them all gasp in shock and surprise...
Lewis then regained his posture and said "Mystery, Dead Beats, go with Zecora and help her bring the Monsters here."
They nodded and Zecora said "Follow me, Spectres and Kitsune, we must be there soon!"
Zecora then began to lead them to the Monsters, Mystery and the Dead Beats following close behind...
