Armor of Heroes Part 10: Old Tricks, New Fighting Styles

Author's Note:

Finally, I was able to work on this story again.

Ponyville

Princess Twilight, and some of the police forces were skimming through some pictures, before they found a match, to the man in the picture Spike had found during their last scuffle.

"Bloodshot!" a pegasus cop read. "Bounty hunter, and a meta human!" he gasped at the last part.

"That's not the worst part," a minotaur cop added. "It says here, he specializes in the use of Hematokinesis"

"Hema what?" a griffon asked.

"Hematokinesis!" Twilight as she explains, "It's the power to manipulate the bloods of oneself, or their enemies." Twilight then scratched her chin with her hoof, as she thought, 'Which would also explains the bloods found all over the halls, when we came.'

"And this guy's got one heck of a shopping list!" another cop noted. "And he does it all, with that power of his!"

"Doesn't matter!" Twilight said in a commanding authoritative manner. "He tried to kill Spike and our friends! He broke into my castle! And he'll be brought to justice!"

"So, what do you want us to do in the meantime, princess?" one of the cops asked.

Taking a deep breath, Twilight began, "Send a letter to Princess Celestia! I'm sure she'd know what to do, when there's a meta bounty hunter going after Spike! In the meantime, we should post some guards around Ponyville, in case that meta human ever tries to come back."

"Yes, your highness," the cops bowed their heads.

"That won't be necessary," a voice called, as the cops and princess turned to the source. "Might I suggest another kind of approach?" the figure said, holding out a scroll.


Meanwhile, back at Friendship castle, Fleur had finished retelling her, Spike, and their friends' recent adventure in Griffonstone, via her Motion Pictures Spell. At first, everyone, besides the heroes in the movie, were all watching in awe, seeing the actions being played, as well as laughing at the part where Spike accidentally attacked Starlight Glimmer, thinking she was a Shadowbolt. However, at the part where Sunburn came into the picture, needless to say, the boys couldn't help but look at the demon girl in arousal. Well, all except for a few.

"RAYNARE!!" Button Mash screamed, as he leapt into Spike's arms, and screamed like a little girl. "Oh save me, Spike, please! Don't let her get me! Spike, please! Don't let her get me! Please!"

Rolling his eyes, Spike shook his head, "Get a grip on yourself, Button!" Spike berated. "Raynare only exists in the manga."

"Yeah, this ain't like one of your Japanese manga, or anime," Rumble added.

"Oh, of course not," Button began in sarcasm. "Spike having a harem of girls, fighting monsters, bad guys, and sexy she demons is so not like in any manga or anime, I know."

"Ok, Button," Spike began. "First off, the girls aren't in a harem. Never had that idea!" Unknown to Spike, the girls couldn't help but blush, while feeling somewhat sheepish about the idea.

"You say that now," Button continued. "But sooner or later, this story is going to feature you with a harem. NOW PUT ME DOWN!!" Button yelled at the last part, to which Spike gladly complied, dropping the nerd to ground. "But not that bad."

Seeing the Spike wanted to change the topic, Fleur resumes her spell, before they reached the end.

"Well, Sugarcubes," Applejack smiled. "You fellas have had quite the adventure there."

"Definitely!" Fluttershy agreed, before she looked at Spike, grimly inspecting his leg. "And thank goodness you're okay, Spike. That was some hit you took from Sunburn."

"It's nothing," Spike replied, trying to brush it off. "Besides, Peewee took care of it with his tears?"

"Definitely. That's another wonderful thing about phoenixes like Peewee," Fluttershy smiled. "Their tears have healing powers, and can cure just about everything."

"Too bad they don't cure worlds of evil, like the Shadowbolts," Ember said, grimly. "Cause then it would save us all the trouble of fighting for our lives, and others."

"Well if it were that simple, that would put heroes like us out of the job," Button smirked.

"Um, how are you guys heroes again?" Gilda asked. "I mean, it's not like you helped rescue some griffons from their cages or anything."

"True," Rumble replied. "But we did fought with honor to save our buddy from the Shadowbolts, when he was going through his metamorphosis."

"Oh yeah, we forgot to tell you guys about that!" Pinkie said, to Ember, Gilda, Gabby, Mina, Starlight, and Trixie. "It was a blast! Spike was turning himself into a jade dragon statue in order to grow wings, horns, and whiskers, when he came to rescue us, and when the Shadowbolts tried to catch him again. But then, the Knights came and helped us fight the Shadowbolts off, like the team of heroes we are!"

"Really?" Ember asked, as she looked at the Knights. "The five of you, no magic and all, simply jumped into the fray, just like that?"

"Well, we've been getting lessons from Scorpan," Rumble replied. "But yeah, magic or no magic, we fight with honor, besides Spike."

"Spike's our friend too, y'know," Button began. "Just like how Mario has Luigi, Batman's got Robin, Alfred, and Batgirl, or Jackie Chan had Jade Chan, Uncle, and the rest of the J Team, Spike's got, well you girls...."

"Ahem," Thorax cleared his throat.

"And changeling," Button added. "But still, he's also got us. Spike's our friend. We're friends for life!"

At that exact moment, both Rumble and Button found themselves surrounded in a shimmering aura of lights, "What's happening to us?" Rumble asked.

"Button? Rumble?" Spike began. "Are you alright?"

"I don't know," Button looked up, and sees the nearby display case, where the armor's pieces were stored, suddenly started to shake, and the Sword of Honor, and Helmet of Wisdom, came flying out, heading towards the boys.

Everyone in the room all watched in anticipation, as the helmet dons itself onto Button's head, and the belt on the sword's scabbard tied itself around Rumble's waist.

"Whoa, what gives?" Rumble asked, looking at himself and Button.

"I don't know," Button replied, as he checked himself out in one of the castle's reflective walls. "But I look kinda good."

"Call me crazy," Applejack began. "But I think those pieces chose you fellas to be their bearers."

"It's possible," Ember added. "I mean, Rumble, you seem to be all big on the concept of honor and everything. And Button, despite being rather, eccentric, you did say a lot of good words when it comes to making a big talk on fighting, and unity."

"Fascinating," Rumble replied, as he checks out the sword.

"Who'd thought, these were meant for us?" Button remarked, as he looks at himself in the mirror.

"Perhaps a friend of Starswirl would've known," a voice called out.

Everyone looked, to see Twilight, standing in the doorway, with Scorpan, wearing a brown dusty satchel around his shoulders, before he quickly changed back in human form, in a flash of yellow aura.

"Uncle Scorpan!" Spike exclaimed, as he ran up to his surrogate uncle, and hugged him.

"It's good to see you again, young dragon," Scorpan replied, as he returns the embrace. "And thank goodness that you're okay, considering you just had your first battle with a metahuman."

"Oh, you heard about-" Spike stopped, as he questions, "Metahuman?"

"Oh thought those guys only existed in DC Comics," Button said, before it hits him. "Oh wait, Spike, you're kinda like a metahuman. No wait, what am I saying? You are a metahuman! I mean, sure you were already born with superpowers. But after you got struck by Somnambula's lightning, your powers remain dormant for a while, until we got captured by those thugs, was when they were reawakened! Am I right? Or am I right?"

There was a long pause of awkward silence, before Twilight was the first to break it, "Something like that."

Wanting to get back on topic, Spike turned to his uncle, "So what brings you here, uncle?"

"Let's just say I got back from an important business trip," Scorpan replied, as he reaches into his satchel, pulling out a series of dusty scrolls, each with a pin that bears the mark of swirls, and stars. "Mako had informed me of you and Fleur's quest to finding the pieces of the Armor of Heroes. So I decided to do a bit of research on my part, to aid you in your mission."

"Thanks uncle. We'll need all the help we can get."

The heroes all crowded around the man, as he unravels some more scrolls, "I recognize these writings!" Twilight squealed. "This was written from Starswirl the Bearded! These are his scrolls! Where'd you get these general?"

"Where I got them is not important," Scorpan replied, as he unrolls some scrolls, depicting stick figures performing various techniques, be it magic or physical. "These will be most helpful in your fights against the Shadowbolts, or any other forces of darkness out there, waiting for you young heroes," Scorpan turned to the Knights, as he unravels another scroll, which is about the Armor of Heroes.

"According to Starswirls, the Armor of Heroes was created, using a sample of magics, from the Tree of Harmony. In other words, the armor's pieces are the siblings of the Elements of Harmony."

"So how does that explain why the helmet and sword chose Button and Rumble?" Pipsqueak asked.

"Well, just like how each of the elements represent a subjective aspect of harmony, the pieces each represents a specific aspect of a hero," Scorpan explained. "Furthermore, they are only activated if their bearers possesses the corresponding traits. All the reasons why the helmet and sword so far chose Button and Rumble."

"But Button's not even wise," Featherweight added bluntly.

"HEY!" Button exclaimed in outrage.

"Yeah," Rumble began with a smug grin. "You sure that's a wise thing to do?"

"Oh, hardy har har," Button grumbled. "Though, perhaps you should try and preserve your honor some more."

"What do you mean?" Rumble looked down to see that Button managed to unbutton his pants, and he was left standing in a white boxer shorts with red chickens. "AH!" Rumble screamed, as he pulls his pants back up, buttons them up, before he stared angrily at Button. "Of course you realize, this means war!"

"You want to get wise with me?"

"I'll get wise with you, when you get wise with me!"

"KNOCK IT OFF, YOU TWO!" Spike shouted, breaking up the fight. "Stay focus. We've got missing ponies that may need rescuing, and more armor pieces that needed to be recovered. Remember?"

"Sorry," the two boys quickly apologized.

"Ooh!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Check this out! Passion boost!"

Twilight levitated the scroll, as she read the said technique, "By focusing on the one thing the user is most passionate about, their powers will be doubled with each ten seconds counting, further increasing their magical and physical prowess," Button was about to say something, when Thorax stopped him.

"Sounds like it can come in handy," Applejack said.

"Yeah? What about this one?" Rainbow asked. "The Thundering Wind Hammer? This looks awesome!"

"Hmm," Starlight mused, as she looked at one of the scrolls. "This one sure looks like it could take out a whole army."

"The Great and Powerful Trixie shall have her powers increased tenfolds!" Trixie declared as she picked up some of the scrolls. "C'mon, Starlight! Let's try some of these out!" With that, the girl and unicorn took their leave, as they left the room.

"Wow," Scorpan began. "She's quite the magic enthusiastic."

The rest of the teens all nodded their heads, while Spike looked back at some of the scrolls, intrigued by the benefits they would have for him and the girls.


Elsewhere in Equestria

Bloodshot was out in the woods, restocking his "weapons," when a hooded figure came up from behind a tree.

"I thought you were supposed to be home, watching over my little girl," Bloodshot said bitterly.

"And I thought you said you were reconsidering on leaving the life you've gotten yourself into!" the figure talked. "Find a real job for once!"

Bloodshot turned to face the figure, "I did!" he said. "I mean, I was. But things have taken a turn, and now I'm being called to hunt the Dragon Prince."

"The Dragon Prince?!" the figure exclaimed. "Are you out of your mind?! You're signing a death contract!"

"Don't try and stop me, Aqua!" Bloodshot spatted. "In fact, why can't you just stop being there for me? You were never there for me, since you and mom abandoned me with dad!"

"We didn't abandoned you!" Aqua shouted. "It was all mom's fault! She forced our separation!"

"Whatever! I didn't need you to live my life! I've gotten along just fine without you!"

"Oh, and this just qualifies as just fine?! Working for the bad guys? Risking the life of you and your daughter for a couple of bits? I mean, c'mon! What were you thinking?!"

"Don't push it, Aqua! You can't leave me and come back, expecting for me to take orders from you, like your little servant!"

"Hey! I was trying to find you! I abandoned mom the same way she abandoned you, just for you! Why do you hate me for that?!"

"And who says I want to be found?! I'm better off calling my own shots so get used to it! Now out of my way! I've got a job to do! And it'll be my last! And you can't stop me!"

With a sigh of defeat, Aqua breathed, "Good luck, Blood. You're going to need it."


Midnight Castle

Inside a room, surrounded by tools used for all sorts of tortures, tied in chains, was Hydia, and her two daughters, Reeka and D'raggle.

"Wow," D'raggle began, staring blankly through an opening in the ceiling. "Look at all those stars."

"Sure hope you're enjoying them," Reeka grumbled in sarcasm. "By the way, how many do you think are up there?"

"Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, two?" Draggle answered stupidly.

*boink*

"TWO?!" Hydia exclaimed in bewilderment. "You think there's two?" Just then, the door flung open, and stepping into the room, was none other but Nightmare Moon, Somnambula, and another figure in dark robes.

"Who are you?" Nightmare Moon hissed. "And why do you interfere with the businesses of my Shadowbolts?"

"Oh," Hydia stammered. "You are the Shadowbolts? Forgive me, I didn't know it was you."

"Don't lie to us," the robed figure said bitterly. "Lest you want a one way trip to the moon, or worse, the sun."

"Do it then!" Reeka spatted. "We'll never tell you anything!"

"Duh, yeah!" Draggle added. "We'll never tell you why wanted the Fucanglong Box!" Draggle realized too late, what she just said. "Oops."

"Fucanglong box?" Nightmare Moon asked. Just then, a bat flew into the room, and chittered in Nightmare Moon's ear, "So that's how they knew of the Helmet of Wisdom!" Nightmare Moon hissed, before she glared at Hydia, levitating the toad witch up close. "And you where there when they got away with the helmet! That must mean, you wanted the Armor of Heroes all to yourselves as well!"

"What? Me?" Hydia asked. "Oh believe me your majesty. I never dreamed-"

"You're a terrible liar, Hydia," Somnambula sneered, as her staff pulsed with dark magic, enveloping Hydia in an aura of black electricities. "NOW TELL THE TRUTH! WHY?!"

Unable to break free from the amount of dark magics, Hydia finally confessed.


Training Dimension

Spike was sitting in a room, Peewee on his shoulder, and a candle at their sides, while looking over one of the scrolls Scorpan had brought.

"Vision Sync," Spike read. "Enables one user to be able to share vision with another user, and vice versa." Spike pondered, his thought on the usage of such technique. He turned to Peewee, "What do you say, Peewee? Think we can give this technique a go?"

Peewee squawked in reply, as the two boys later walked out of the room, and into another room that magically contains an endless sea of clouds, and tall mountains. Reading the instructions on the scroll, before reading the incantations, Spike's eyes glow green, as Peewee's glowed gold. With that, the phoenix took flight through the clouds and circled around the mountains. As the bird flew, Spike was sitting on the mountain, amazed to see it all through the bird's perspective. Wanting to take it up a notch, the two were later in another room, that appears to be a huge maze, with living suits of armors jumping around every corners, trying to catch Spike off guard, which they failed to do so, courtesy of Peewee, being Spike's eye in the sky.

"Wow," Spike panted, as he finishes the last suit. "This is amazing."

"Glad you thought if that way, Spike," a voice called out, which Peewee turned his head, allowing Spike to see, from the air, that Fleur was entering the room.

"Fleur?!" Spike asked in surprise. "What are you doing here? Or better yet, how did you get in here?"

"Same way you got here, of course," Fleur answered. "I saw you walk through the door, back at the castle, carrying some of the scrolls the general brought to us. So I followed," Fleur's horn glowed in a pink aura, as she conjured up one of the scrolls. "I thought maybe we could practice these techniques together. You know, like old times, when we were still young, and when we still go to Princess Celestia's School."

Spike pondered at what Fleur said, while remembering their study sessions with Twilight and Sunset. Spike smiled in nostalgia, "Yeah," he answered. "Let's make up for all those ten years of my absent at school."

"Merci!" Fleur beamed.

"Hey! Don't hog Spike all to yourself, Fleur!" another voice called, revealing it to be Twilight, walking into the room with Sunset, Starlight, and Trixie at her sides. "He's our study partner, too, y'know!"

"Not everyone, Twilight," Trixie added. "This shall be the first he's ever had to study with the Great and Powerful Trixie!"

"And me," Starlight added. "If what Twilight and Sunset say are true, then I must've been an idiot to not study with you girls, all together, during our days at school."

Spike looked to see all unicorn girls, and magician, eagerly exchanging their interests in studying together with him, on the scrolls his uncle brought them. Spike turned to Peewee, who had perched on his shoulder, sharing looks of bewilderment.


[Evening Star - Aloe & Lotus]

For the next few hours or so, Spike, Peewee, and the girls were all looking over the ancient scrolls of Starswirls the Bearded, giving each of the techniques contained a few practice runs, once in a while.

Twilight, Starlight, and Sunset were in a room filled with an endless sea of clouds, as they practiced their teleportation maneuver. Appearing and leaping form mountains to mountains, before they raced back to the door. Later, they were in a room, filled with various objects, and fired their spells, transfiguring the objects into other random objects.

"No!" Trixie's scream was heard, which Starlight went to investigate. "I said tea cup!" Trixie shouted in frustration, as she tried in vain to turn a simple salt shaker into the said object, with her wand. Trixie turned, and noticed Starlight, "Starlight. I need your help. I can't put a trick that's not working into my act. How come it's not working?"

Starlight chuckled, "It's probably because you're just yelling 'teacup' and not picturing it, in your mind."

"Oh," Trixie replied, realizing her flaw. "Yeah, that could be it."

Starlight then gave some examples, "What does your teacup look like? What shape is it? What color?"

With that, Trixie came up with the answers in her head, as she fires another beam of magic at the salt shaker, only this time, it was effectively changed into a tea cup, as promised. With a whoop of glee, Trixie exclaimed, "Starlight! I did it!" With that, Trixie happily embraced Starlight, before she went into a transfiguring frenzy, and fired more beams of magic, while shouting, "Teacup!"

Just then, Spike and Peewee walked in with a teacup, "Did somebody asked for a teeeaaaaaa!" Spike shouted, as he got hit by the spell, and was transfigured into a teacup poodle.

"Whoops," Trixie blushed. "I guess I pictured a teacup poodle?"

"Geez, I never would've guessed," Spike grumbled, as he was engulfed in a flash of green fire, and turned himself back in human form. After a moment of composing himself, Spike asked, "So, how've you girls been?"

"It's so exciting!" Trixie replied, happily. "This is the first time in my life that I've actually performed a transfiguration spell. Real magic!"

"Besides that," Twilight spoke, on Starlight, and Sunset's behalf. "We've progressed even more on our magic skills with Starswirl's old spells."

"Yeah," Sunset began. "Like the Dragon Chi Sphere Cannon Blast he learned in Dracasia!"

"Or the Mistmane Material Amity spell, from Mistmane," Starlight said in excitement. "And believe it or not, Somnambula's Weather Abjuration spell!"

"Whoa, whoa, wait!" Spike exclaimed. "Are we talking about the same Somnambula? The Somnambula who tried to kill me since day one, and is Nightmare Moon's faithful lieutenant?"

"Afraid so," Twilight replied, as she whips out a scroll. "According to this, it says here that Somnambula was one of the heroes who took part in the creations of the Armor of Heroes, and was an old acquaintance of Starswirls. But so far, that's all it says. It didn't explain what link she has with Nightmare Moon and the Shadowbolts."

Spike, Peewee, and the girls, including Fleur who just came in, all crowded around the scroll of the said sorceress. What's quite the shocker for all of them, was the fact that it depicted Somnambula, not an evil witch, but a pegasus mare, with egyptian themed attires.

"Wow," Spike said in shock. "She's literally a different pony, according to this. I wonder what made her like the way she is now?"

"I'm sure we'll find out some other time," Twilight replied. "Right now, let's get back to training ourselves."

"Oui," Fleur replied, before she turned to Spike. "You know what would make this whole training session a little more, exciting, mon ami?"

"No, what?" Spike asked.

"A good, friendly duel," the mare suggested. "It's been a long time since we've had one. And I'd like to see the skills you have learned, from the past decade of your time on Earth, plus the skills you now know. Oui?"

Spike didn't hesitate, as he dragons up, "Bring it!"


[Trish Thuy Trang - Year of the Dragon]

In another room, Spike and Fleur took positions on a huge platform, while Sunset counted off, "Hajime!" Sunset shouted.

With that, both Spike and Fleur charged at each other, engaging themselves in combat, both using the skills they have learned, over the years. Fleur made the first move as she shot a bolt of magic at Spike, who was able to catch it in his claw, using the momentum to spin into a tornado, before he throws it back at her. Fleur quickly projected a shield, saving herself from the deflected projectile, before she stomped her front hooves on the ground, sending a shockwave in Spike's direction, knocking him off his feet. Spike quickly picked himself up, as he did a flare breakdance, and was back on his feet, taking a few deep breath, as he beckons Fleur to keep coming at him.

Fleur complied, as she broke into a gallop, as Spike too ran towards her. At the last second, Spike did a backflip, while thrusting a leg out, hoping to catch Fleur, with an upper kick, but Fleur quickly teleported in a flash of light, before she reappeared from behind, and thrust her hind legs out, striking Spike from behind. The young dragon caught himself, as he did a flip, and landed on legs. With an inhale, Spike lets out a burst of green fireballs, which Fleur countered with a bolt of magic, colliding with the fireball, resulting in an explosion of smokes. Blinded, Fleur closed her eyes, listening for any movements.

It wasn't long, until Fleur's ears perked in a specific direction, "Gotcha!" Fleur shouted, as she fired another bolt of magic in one direction, that knocked Spike at out of the air.

"Nice to know, I'm not the only one who can hear good," Spike smirked, as the smokes cleared up.

"Don't forget, we've trained together when we were kids," the unicorn replied, confidently. "So I knew almost every one of your tricks."

"Then it's time for some new tricks up my sleeves," With that, Spike focuses his power, and channels them into his claws, projecting a green fireball, that grew into the shape of a katana.

In response, Fleur's horn glowed in a pink aura, as she quickly shifted into her battle anthro form, and unsheathes her rapier, "En garde!" she shouted.

With a spin of their blades, the two warriors ran up, swinging their weapons, both clashing upon impact. Using the momentum that followed, the two warriors spin around, before they swung their blades again at the sides, clashing as they did so. After Spike swung his fire katana at her legs, Fleur leapt to the air, and flipped overhead, swung her rapier at the same time, grazing the back of his armor.

"Touché," Spike said, as he and Fleur resumed their sword fight.

Suddenly, Fleur went in to jab her sword at her opponent's chest plate, only for Spike to swing his sword upward, blocking the attack. After swings, and clashes, Spike disarmed Fleur of her rapier. With that, Spike made a quick jab at Fleur, who quickly moved to the side, grabbed Spike's arm holding the sword with her arm, before she spins around, and elbowed him on the shoulder. Just then, Spike swung his tail, snared it around Fleur's legs, and pulled her away from him, and threw her across the room from him. Doing a flip, Fleur caught herself in the air, and landed safely back on the ground.

"Well played, Flare," Spike smirked.

"I'd say the same for you, mon ami," Fleur smiled. "It's almost like you've never left Equestria, for a whole decade," With a glow of her horn, Fleur was bathed in an aura of pink lights, as she shape-shifted in human form, don up in her kunoichi attire. "But now, it's time for good old fashion hand to hand combat. No more weapons. No more magics. Fists against fists."

With smug grin, Spike changed back in human form, in a flash of green fire, "Bring it!" he said, as he and the girl both ran up to each other.

As the two fights continue sparring, the girls and Peewee in the audience all watched, and marveled at their fighting styles.

"Check those two out!" Starlight marveled. "They're really on fire!"

"I know right?" Sunset asked, while petting Peewee, who was perched next to her. "You can't expect less, from both Spike, or Fleur."

"Well, the only differences are the trainings they've gone through," Twilight analyzed. "Scorpan has trained Spike for almost his entire life, through all sorts of martial arts, while Fleur has only learned a few of what Spike knew prior to the Shadowbolts' attack on him, years ago."

"KILL HER SPIKE!!" Trixie cheered loudly, causing the others to look at the magician girl in bewilderment. "Sorry. Caught up in the moment," Trixie blushed.

Meanwhile, the two fighters were also having the time of their life, 'Wow, Fleur's really come a long way,' Spike thought. 'I can see why I'd have her for a partner.'

Fleur, too, was having some thoughts on her opponent, 'Look how far you've come, Spike,' she thought happily. 'I'm proud of you.'

Just as the two were about to land another hit, the door slid open, "Girls! Hurry!" Gabby shouted.

Caught off guard, Spike and Fleur crashed into each other, resulting in Spike on top of Fleur. When the two finally came to, they blushed, seeing the positions they were in, and Spike's right hand, inadvertently on the girl's left breast. The very sight, made Twilight, and the rest of the girls, minus Gabby, envy. Peewee in the meantime, couldn't help but squawk in laughter.

"Uh, you okay, Fleur?" Spike asked, hesitantly.

"Oui," Fleur blushed, slightly turned on, before she looked down to see where his hand was resting on. "Um, Spike?"

"What?" Fleur pointed to his hand, which Spike quickly took his hand off, while blushing a bright she of red, "Sorry," he stammered, as he and Fleur quickly composed themselves. "What's the 911, Gabby? In other words, what's happening?"

"Ember's cracked it!" Gabby replied. "And by that, I don't mean she's crazy. She's the opposite of crazy. She's smart! A little cranky, and edgy, but still she's nice, and-"

"Gabby!" Twilight shouted. "Just tell us, what's going on?"

"Ember solved the next puzzle! The next armor's piece has revealed itself!"
