This story is a sequel to Flash Sentry Chronicles: The Movie
The Storm King is beaten, Equestria saved and the world our ponies know of has expanded. With the Friendship Map growing more complex, Twilight has realized the Magic of Friendship can't be protected by her and a handful of friends. To help spread the Magic of Friendship, she decides to open a school, and invites creatures of all different shapes and sizes. Changelings, Dragons, Griffons, Hippogriffs and Yaks are only the first few creatures that'll be attending with the ponies of Equestria.
But Twilight and her friends will soon discover that learning about friendship and teaching it are two very different adventures. And when a force of arrogance threatens to close the school unless if conforms to their way of teaching, Twilight's dream will soon be put into serious jeopardy.

Oh boy… Season 8, we here… that season is divisive to say the least… here go nothing.
Let's hope Young Six are more developed than their canon self, especially Ocellus… I can't remember one episode that focus on her.
Here's highlights
Ha! Springer is like ready for a long break from taking care of his kids!
They may hang out with Young Six but at least, Heart and Soul don't forget about their first non-adult friends.
That's the true friendship.
Smolder, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Silverstream and… hey, where Sandbar?
I love when Iron, Grand and Lightning are like "Don't jinx us, Springer!" cause they are probably tired of anyone saying things that would get jinxed.
Season 8... Boy... I'm really hoping you can do this season better more than any other season. I have opinions about this season and... 96% of them are NOT in this season's favor... All I'll say further is, fuck, this, season. This was the one. This was the season that broke me. I was just done after this season. I could forgive Season 6. Season 7 I thought was pretty meh. But Season 8 was it. It was the straw that broke the camel's back and made me quit being a fan because after bad episode after bad episode with only a few good ones, I was absolutely done.
Apologies for the rant, I just... I really hate Season 8.
Truth be told the first episode of season 8 wasn't my favorite.
It was a good idea for the School of Friendship, but to have someone like Neighsay in the mix, i felt like i really wanted to kick him in the privates for what he did and said.
I'm surprised Celestia didn't fire him because of what he did.
back to school
Alright, Season 8 is finally here! I've heard some people say they dislike this particular season for a variety of reasons, but personally, although it is not without a few flaws, I love this season and feel it is under-appreciated and over-hated.
The school of friendship might sound silly on paper, but in the setting it actually works, and I think the Student Six were the biggest highlight of the season that offered a brand new area of possibilities. My personal favorites were Ocellus and Silverstream, but I came to like Gallus a lot more than I thought I would, and the rest are of course fun too. I know that several of them have gotten small cameo appearances throughout your series so far, including Sandbar, Smolder, and of course Silverstream, but I look forward to when their group is officially introduced next chapter. I'm also excited to see what new adventures and developments you have in store for them.
Ouch, poor Heart. I knew it would take awhile for a wound like that to heal but I hope he'll be okay soon.
Interesting to have Heart, Soul, and the Jakhowls join the school. Ace and Mira make sense since they would add more culture diversity to the school, but I hope Heart and Soul will still have time for their friends.

You want my advice, keep such a negative opinion off the story comments. Otherwise it would detract potential readers from reading it.
And we're here at S8, while this season has been divisive and a few episodes where less than stellar I liked it! (especially since it introduced 2nd best sister dragon to the show!
) Here's hoping that the Young Six get a much better treatment here than in canon & also that a certain bigoted unicorn gets wrecked by *do-nothing* Celestia at the end of it! (not holding my breath at that last one
)
Aha here's my school supply list : pens, papers, ruler, Highlight list...wait what? :
And Twilight hits the ground running with twilighting already, off to a great start!
Yes thank you Flashboy!
Ah and the bigoted one makes an appearance, just lovely!
Another good point, thank you Flash!
No touchy Heart!
lol sorry Ace, no getting out of this one!
*picks up receiver* Hello Murphy, just letting you know Springer requested your presence at a place called *School of Friendship*? You'll be there around next week? Sure, I'll let him know!
Hypergriff's here, sweetness!
Good first chapter Banshee, till the next one!
Okay, why does this story already have 5 down votes? Like seriously? It only just began.

Guys guys let's not fuss or fight or dislike what we have to say in the comments let's just respect each other's opinions and not be a Chancellor naysay or worst this guy

Okay okay, point made.
Neighsay isn't wrong here, if the Equestrian Military, including the Royal Knights, was halfway to competence, the invasion would have been beaten back shortly after it started.
Not much else to say right now, only that I hope that Banshee portrays Neighsay with nuance.
Interesting, Flash teaching the students the teamwork, and yup, its gonna be really hard.
And I think that Smolder is going to be the most difficult because of her attitude, well, the change in the dragon culture is just beginning, but I hope that she has a better development here than in FiM
Very interesting that Flash got his own class which is a training room which could help Young Six or Eight for Season 8.
Sound like Young Six or Eight are long way from becoming friends to each other, especially Smolder. (I going to blame her brother, Garble on that
)
Here's highlights
Good point!
A callback to Dragon's Awakenings.
*spits drink*
BURN!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Hopefully it won't be like The Castle Labyrinth.
Don't get cocky, Smolder.
he sure was right about how well courage goes with the other elements, tho the first lesson could have been better he exxplained things well.
A very rocky first lesson for Flash teaching the Young Six (especially Smolder) but at least they are willing to learn! Also sweet pair-ups in terms of roommates for the Young Six/Sibs/Jackhowls, we'll see how they get along as things move forward!
Well played with having a secret training room built into the classroom!
Ok class! Your first assignment is to review these Highlights! :
Heart seriously, stop digging yourself deeper into that hole before you end up on the other side of the world!
lol maybe put a sticky note on it with the whole info Heart?
I see her big brother's influence with that attitude, glad she grew out of it & became awesome later on!
Sneaky way of getting this put in pass Twilight there Flash!
Ooooohh not looking good there Smoldy!
Well said Flashyboy, well said!
Good first class all around, course will take a nosedive with all of *by the book* changes that are coming soon!
Till the next chapter Banshee & keep up the great work!
Nice start to the school year. We finally have the official introduction of the Student Six and we get to see who is bunking with whom. It was cool we finally got to see Sandbar again after his brief cameo way back in Season 4, and got confirmation of Smolder's cameo from Dragon's Awakening (though she clearly doesn't like being reminded of it). I also liked how we got to see Flash's class and how he teaches everyone. We didn't see much of classes at the school in canon, so getting to see how Flash handles class was interesting.
Though it is clear the students, or at least the main ones, have a long way to go, not just with friendship but learning to work with others. But once they succeed they'll do great.
Boy, you're in for a long story Silverstream.
Let's get down to business.
Whoa, Twilight fired Flash, that was something i didnt see coming.
And of course Derpy could be a good teacher in courage, she had the courage when she saved Twi in the movie.
Well… I honestly didn't expect Ace and Mira being the one to be bonded with Young Six and got more screen time than Heart and Soul which is rather refreshing considered they have a small role in the movie.
Although, Twilight's stay by the book attitude will backfire on her for sure on the next chapter.
And we got our introduction to probably the most controversial villain: Cozy Glow.
Here's highlights
Here's come our little troublemaker, Miss Cozy Glow.
Uh no! I don't like this!
Of course, Twilight.
Yup! He did foreshadowing that!
I imagine Flash would tell Twilight after this little event. "I told you so."
Hope Twilight makes it up to Flash.
Glad he still supports her.
Wonder if the others know. Part of me thought his classes would cause them to get in trouble instead it was firing him.
Seriously Twilight, this is exactly what they've been trying to tell you, but you're always so obsessed into pleasing others.
Stop thinking about what they want and start thinking about what you want.
And you should listen to Flash, I mean if it weren't for him you would've screwed up, big time.
Princess of Friendship huh, more like the Princess of Dumb Ideas.
Well not only we got introduced to evil little filly this chapter
but we also got Flash to stand his ground this time around regarding the *by the book* crap Twilight gets obsessed with, even though he got fired for it at least he didn't let bookhorse run all over him! (unlike the movie
)
Also been enjoying Ace/Mira getting to hang out & actually bonding with the Young 6 (or Young 8 at this point?
) Course things will go downhill next chapter with what happened at the end here, I really hope Flash don't let Neighsay trample all over him like he did with Twilight & puts him in his place! 
Okay gotta review these Highlights! :
And the evil one makes an entrance (dun dun dunnnnn) beware Heart!
Doggone it Twilight!!!
lol Flash you sneaky genius!
lol not bad, not bad at all!
And the sparks started flying!
*sigh* Denial, more than just a river bookhorse!
Heck yeah Flash, stick it to the man....er mare!
lol well can you blame them for thinking that!
Still looking out for Twilight, even when she's being dumb!
Oh boy, that sure went pear-shaped quickly!
Can't wait to see the fallout from it & how Flash handles it (especially against speciest horse
) till the next one!
Wow, I have to admit, I didn't think Twilight would actually be stubborn enough to fire Flash. The fact that the students enjoy his class the most out of all of the others by that point should have spoken volumes. Though at least he didn't hold it against her. That shows he is still loyal to her, despite her mistakes. One thing is for sure, Twilight is going to deserve a big fat "I warned you!" from Flash after this, and she is going to have to apologize to him for not listening to him.
I like how Ace and Mira are interacting with the Student SIx and becoming part of the themselves. I don't know if there is room for Heart and Soul in their group too, especially if they bring their old friends with them, but who knows what could happen.
But the one other major development of this chapter was Cozy Glow's early appearance. Though it seems like her dark side has a lot more obvious signs earlier on than compared to canon. Her backstory of having multiple foster homes might be something that helps explain her eventual villainy, assuming she is even telling the truth.
I am suddenly very worried for Heart and what Cozy has planned for him. Her helping him with his itchy cast seemed nice on the surface, but it is most likely just her starting to manipulate him like all her other attempts at so-called "friendships".
I admit, Derpy might not be the first choice for a teacher if you go by normal standards, but I think she has more than proven herself to teach a class on courage. Just look at her actions during The Movie when she tried to save Twilight.
I found that part really funny. I know Springer himself said he doesn't want the two of them thinking of him as their dad, since then that would mean they would see each other as siblings and ruin his plans for them to mate and restore the Jakhowls. But it is honestly a bit hard to not view the three of them as a family at times.
11237207
If they add Fire Heart and Shining Soul then they can make it a nice round 10.
I’m looking forward to how you portray Cozy Glow in your series. Out of all the villains she is the one with the least amount of backstory
And how's your guidance and consoling going? At least Brighteyes doing her job.
As much as everyone wants to hark on Twilight, she's actually in the right for firing Flash. And on that subject when Neighsay shuts the school down, denying it accreditation he's actually in the right, in fact, he would be charged with dereliction of duty if he didn't, same is true for Twilight if she didn't fire Flash. And while it is an unpopular opinion, it's based on the facts and the lore.
I really like the fact Flash speaks with the true to Chancellor Neighsay, reminds me when he scold Starswirl for all the mistakes he make.
Good News: Flash got his job back and he and Twilight reconcile with each other.
Bad News: The five non-pony students are missing and it could creates a massive war between 5 non-ponies race.
I am still surprised Ace and Mira got more screen time than Heart and Soul, although it makes sense since Heart and Soul did have big roles in the Movie while Ace and Mira spend most of their time as statues.
I can't help but wonder if Heart is going to have a ship tease with Cozy since he's not annoyed with her compare to other female characters he interact with and is saddened by her departure than non-ponies students (But I had a bad feeling that he will be even more devastated when he find out about the truth about Cozy Glow, although, that may change if Banshee do with Cozy in his version)
Here's highlights
Sound like Flash had enough of Neighsay's shit.
Yeah, she got a point, Twilight… it was a no-win situation to begin with.
Don't you means She cause Ocellus is a girl.
2 guesses: either she is lying about having guardians to hide her secrets from Heart and Soul or those guardians may take her place as villains of Season 8 Finale.
Don't give in, Heart! Cozy is manipulating you!
At least you get Twilight apologizing to you and admitting you were right about the whole thing.
Ha! I knew it! That's what you get for being a stubborn girl, Twi.
Yeah, still wanna deck Neighsay regardless of consequences!
Don't get me wrong, the students playing hooky & causing damage was no okay but to use that as an excuse to talk down on the other races (especially since it was PONIES that gave the Storm King info on Equestria's Royal Knights & defenses!
) was completely uncalled for! 
Glad that Ace & Mira are looking out for *our wayward students* by getting them to a *safe* place in the Everfree, also double glad Twilight had to eat crow before Flash after the big *I told you so!*
As for Highlights :
Yep, still wanna punch him dead square in the face!
Excuse me, who died and me you Celestia you pompous twat!!!
Oh boy........not sure how I feel about *this one*!
Guess we all know where that is eh?
Here Twilight, have some salt to go along those words you're trying to mumble out to Flash!
*keeps claws crossed in Neighjerk actually trying that*
Yep, here we go!
Looking forward to the resolution and hopefully a verbal/physical beatdown (hey I'm flexible!
) against Neighjerk, till then Banshee! 
Glad Flash and Twilight made up.
also Cozy does not seem to be doing much so far
You know in some ways, I think Neighsay comes off even worse here than he was in canon (which is saying something). He is still racist here against non-ponies, but his comments towards the other creatures hold even less value since Equestria has an official alliance with the changelings, dragons, and hippogriffs here, yet he still acts like they are just waiting to strike. If anyone is to blame for the world nearly going to war it is him. I'd love to see Flash help put him in his place during the climax when Twilight and Celestia tell him off.
I liked the scenes of all the students meeting back up together in the Everfree Forest, and Ocellus leading them to the Castle of the Two Sisters where they will hideout. I already liked the group as they were in canon, but adding Ace and Mira is really sweet. Also, Twilight apologizing to Flash and re-hiring him was both funny but also sweet.
With the climax approaching, I'm guessing we only have one or two chapters left. This is doing a great job so far.
Yeesh. I think we have all had enough of those kinds of politicians.
You know, I wasn't too sure before since their encounter in the last chapter was pretty brief, but now I am pretty sure it seems like Fire Heart is developing a crush on Cozy Glow! Ordinarily I'd find this kind of "puppy love" adorable and be proud of Heart, but unfortunately he literally could not have picked a worse choice for a first crush. But who knows, this kind of dynamic between the two could be interesting to see in Season 8, and what Heart will do when Cozy's true colors come to light.
Huh, never thought of that before actually. If nothing else that explains why they didn't find the students sooner.
I don't know," the mother replied, "What if what happened before happens again? Our son was almost crushed until a tower that another student knocked down."
I think you meant to use the word “under” not “Until”
Okay, considering that Equestria has a formal alliance with three of those five nations in this universe, if Neighsay says what he says in canon, he'll be a bigger bigot than he was canonically.
Oooooh! This was fun, and it feels like something straight out of the show.
Gosh, Flash, you sly dog.
Ooooh, I wonder if Twilight would have been more willing to listen if someone with more teaching experience told her off. You know, the whole teachers being unable to teach effectively due to restrictive guidelines and bureaucracy is a real-life issue if Teacher TikTok is any indication. Why I keep getting recommended videos from Teacher TikTok I will never know.
Nice to see that Celestia is being understanding and reasonable. It's nice that she acknowledges that the current system has flaws and shortcomings that need to be worked around. If media and fiction are in any way indicative of real life, people in power tend to cover up the flaws in a system simply because they're too afraid of the negative effects that might come with trying to fix those flaws.
Gosh, if Neighsay had done something more explicitly harmful and discriminatory than just badmouthing other creatures, there are two things that could have happened based on how these incidents tend to be resolved in this day and age. One, he could have kept his current job with barely a slap on the wrist, and the people he harmed would have to deal with the fallout on their own without support. Two, he could have lost his job because his actions would reflect badly on his colleagues and superiors. Just my observation.
You know, when I got dismissed from medical school, I actually considered going into teaching. One of my sister's friends actually taught for a few years, and I asked her what that was like. The thing that she enjoyed most about it was getting to inspire and care for her students. The thing she hated the most was dealing with the administration. Gosh, just having to figure out how to communicate effectively with the students would have taken most of my energy. I don't think I could have handled dealing with parents and administration on top of that.
C.S. Lewis once said that courage is every virtue when it reaches a testing point.
I hope Heart and Soul's presence ends up changing Cozy's fate from her canon one. I'm glad things turned out okay for everyone, but now, I'm worried about Flash meeting the terrible destiny Future Fire Heart inadvertently told him about.
Good work, Banshee.
I wonder what directions you have for Cozy since she is very controversial villain but I will wait for it.
Here's highlights
Don't you means him cause Seaspray is a guy.
Well, he got his wish of taking that bandage off but remember the old saying?
Be careful what you wish for, Heart
Ha! Oh Flash you are funny!
I knew he got his scar from the movie! Well, he officially joins the Scars club with Grand Hoof and Flash Sentry (Let me know if I miss any Royal Knights with scars)
Busted!
Oh boy… sound like there's a ship tease for Heart and Cozy but imagine their reaction when they find out Cozy's deception.
So it would be 2 or 3 weeks hiatus? Okay.
11250417
Personnaly, I'm intrigue with what he will do with Cozy. As for Flash meeting this terrible destiny, I'm not too worried, I don't see Banshee killing Flash like that. I prefer to think that Flash will be teleported somewhere before he can be killed and the others didn't know.
Once again, great job with this story, not too many changing but just enough to feel it was a different story.
This was a great story, and great job setting up Season 8! I know there are people that criticize Season 8 for various reasons, but I personally enjoy it, and I think that the Young 6 (or Student 6, whatever anyone prefers to call them) were a big highlight of the season along with the school. You did a great job with them here, and integrating Ace and Mira into their group.
It looks like the future that we saw a glimpse of in Season 7 is slowly becoming a reality. I was really surprised to see Heart now has the same scar as his future self. Plus, Flash has proposed The United Federation of Creatures. The future is looking pretty bright for now, but Flash still has his foretold death to worry about. Let's hope that is the one part of the future that can be changed.
I think that ending scene pretty much confirms it. Heart has a crush on Cozy Glow. I guess there might be a possibility that Cozy could be reformed thanks to his feelings for her, but I think that it might be far more likely that she stays a villain, and poor Heart will end up going through the same kind of broken heart Spike did back in Season 6. There is a lot to look forward to in this new season, and I am excited to get to it in a few weeks.
Dude when will you please release the super hero story
And when will the kamen rider shifter story be released I really want to read it man
11250728
11250730
Dude, be patient. He can only work on so many things at once. Right now he's working on his Chronicles series, which is basically the main story here and the Equestria Girls story, and his Bakugan story. Try being thankful that he puts out as much content as he does already.
11250735
Ok but man I still kind of liked the riders but ok I see what you mean and sorry and also
To build the winning formula you like that to right know that build needs to stop a mirror reflection of one self
that was a good idea Flash had glad they liked it
Well happy B-day to me (and it literally is) I can't get enough of this fan fuc series good luck on making more mister Banshee and good luck.
It was a good start for season 8, it was a cool battle (specially for Spike using his draconic magic) and i like the union of creatures, makes more sense for the season 9 finale.
But Heart's scar maybe suggest a terrible fate in the future.
And i hope Cozy can explain why she is evil in this because there wasnt a backstory for her.
