	Sky was sitting in his base one day, when Ty came in. "Hey man." he said, throwing his budder axe on the crafting table. "Sup." Sky said. 
"Ty. I'm bored." he said staring at the ceiling.
"Hmm.." Ty said, rubbing his necklace. Ty smiled. "I have an idea." he said.
Sky looked at him. "What is it?" he said. 
"You'll see. But first we need to go get Bajan and Husky." 
Sky and Ty ran out of the base to the Hunger games arena. "Bajan? Where are you bro?" Ty yelled. 
Bajan jumped out of the bushes. Ty and Sky both jumped. "Hey guys!" he said. 
"Hey Bajan! Come with us dude." Sky said. 
"Why? I'm in the middle of Hunger Games!" Bajan whined.
"But this is an awesome surprise!" Ty said cheerfully. Bajan rolled his eyes and followed them with Betty in his hand. 
Husky was sitting in a pond relaxing. "Hey fish." Sky said as they walked up.
"I'm Not a fish!!!" Husky said.
"Then why you swimming fishy?" Bajan joked. 
They laughed and Husky jumped out of the pond. "Watcha need?" he asked. 
"Come with us." Ty said. Ty led them to an open field. "Sky you know what the surprise is?" he asked. Sky shook his head. 
We're going......To Equestria!" he said happily. They all perked up. 
"Yeah! we haven't been there in a while!" Husky said. In fact, they hadn't been to Equestria in almost three months. 
"Sky? You ready?" Ty asked as he pointed his necklace at Sky. Husky and Bajan did the same.
"Yes." Sky replied. Sky then tapped his amulet and it began to glow. The other necklaces shot a beam of light at his amulet. Then, a glowing dark purple portal appeared.
"It worked!" Ty said. "To Equestria!" Sky and his friends then jumped into the portal leading to Equestria. When he opened his eyes, Sky found himself a budder colored pony again, and his friends were ponies again too.
"Alright!" he said as he flexed his wings. "These bad boys are for sure one thing I missed about this place." he said. Ty nodded and his horn began to glow. A cookie appeared out of nowhere and he munched on it. 
"Hey! Let's go say hi to Twilight and the Ponycraft gang!" Husky said. The others nodded in agreement. So, Sky, Ty, Husky and Bajan walked to the library. Once they got there, Ty knocked on the door and waited.
After a minute, Twilight opened the door. "Hello?" she said. She gasped at the sight of them. "Guys! Your back!" she said.Twilight then grabbed the colts and squeezed them. "Come in! Come in!" she said waving them inside. "Where have you been guys? I haven't seen you for months!" she said smiling. 
"Yea, we've been really busy lately." Sky replied. 
"I never got a chance to see your element necklaces. Can i check them out?" Twilight asked eagerly. One by one, the colts pulled their necklaces off and showed them to Twilight. 
"We also got cutie marks from going on that adventure." Bajan said, looking at the picture of betty on his hip. "Ah. Betty." he mumbled. 
Ty and Husky snickered. Twilight giggled. "Well, these sure are something." she said, admiring the charms. Twilight levitated them back to the colts. "Be careful with those. You never know who may try to steal them." she warned. The colts nodded. "So what have you guys been up to?" Twilight asked, motioning for them to sit down. 
"Well, its summer vacation now, so we might stay for a while." Sky said happily. 
"Cool!" Twilight said eagerly. "If you do decide to stay, i can have the pony construction workers build you a house." Sky smiled. 
"Thats awesome, but we'll probably just stay with Jason and Seto." he said.
"Ok! well have fun, I have to get back to my studies!" Twilight said, climbing the stairs. The colts let themselves out of the house and headed in the direction of Team Ponycraft's house.
"Sure is nice to be back in Ponyville" Ty said as they walked.
"Yea i missed all the bright colors, and the cheery faces." Husky replied. Suddenly, a small orange pegasus with a bright purple man came riding towards them on a little wooden scooter. 
"LOOK OUT!! SCOOTER OUTTA CONTROL!!!" she yelled as she headed straight for the guys. 
Sky flew up, but the others weren't so lucky. The little orange pegasus ran right into Ty, knocking him over onto Husky, which knocked him over onto Bajan. 
Sky laughed. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! Pony dominoes!!!" he said. 	
The little pegasus got up and shook the dust out of her mane. "Whoa. Sorry about that." she said as the colts scrambled to get up. Then, two more little ponies, a white unicorn with a pink and purple mane, and a yellow earth pony with a red mane that was tied up at the bottom like Applejack's ran over. 
"Scootaloo! you ok?" the white unicorn asked. the orange pegasus nodded. 
"Wow! you were going mighty fast back there!" said the little earth pony. She had a cute southern accent. 
"Sorry about that sirs. Scootaloo here lost control of her scooter when she started going too fast." said the little unicorn. "My name is Sweetie Belle, and this is Apple Bloom." she pointed to herself then to the yellow filly.
"Nice to meet you." Ty said, dusting himself off. 
"Well, we gotta go." Scootaloo said, picking up her scooter. "Cutie Mark Crusaders! Away!" the three fillies yelled in unison, then ran away. 
Sky landed and helped Bajan up. "Those kids were crazy." Sky said jokingly. Ty and Husky nodded. The colts continued walking to the Team Ponycraft house, looking at the shops along the way. 
"I wonder how Jason and Seto have been." Bajan said, looking at the clouds as he walked. Soon, they got to the house. Sky knocked on the door and was answered by a lime green pony with 3-D glasses on. On his hip, there was a picture of a watermelon, and his mane was lime green and dark green stripes.
"Sup." the colt said, looking at the room behind him.
"Hi!" Sky said, looking at him. He seemed familiar, but Sky couldn't put his hoof on it. 
"Sky? Is that you?" the colt asked. Sky knew that voice.
"Bashur?" Sky asked.
"Sky! Ty! Husky and Bajan! Wassup guys!" Bashur said, waving them inside.
"Hey Bashur, we're here on vacation. Mind if we stay here?" Ty asked.
"Dude! you guys are always welcome here!" Bashur replied. 

The Adventure Continues with Sky and the gang! Join them for many adventures in Equestria! 
To Be Continued!
> Apple Bucking Season
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Sky woke up in a a bed with budder covers that had a picture of a budder sword on it. He yawned and sat up in the bed, stretching his wings. Sky got up out of bed and walked over to the calendar. Husky had taken the liberty to put all of Ponyville's important events on the calendar. Sky scanned his hoof over the calendar until the found the date. In the box the words "Apple Bucking Starts. Go To AJ" were scribbled. 
"Ok, so AJ must be Apple Jack." Sky said as he walked over to the dresser. He pulled open the top drawer and grabbed a gray and black shirt with golden highlights and pulled it on. Sky then grabbed his shades off the top of the dresser, pulled his head through the chain of his necklace, and looked in the mirror. "So Majestic!" he said happily. Sky then trotted out of the room, shutting the door behind him. Sky's room was on the second floor, and he could smell a sweet aroma coming from the kitchen. "Yummy..." he mumbled as he hovered over to the stairs. 
Once at the bottom, the sweet smell completely filled his nose. Sky rushed into the kitchen to see Huskymudkips in an apron cooking pancakes. He yelped as Sky zoomed into the room. "AAH!" Husky yelled. Sky snickered. 
"Nice apron Ms. Husky..." he said between uncontrollable snickers. Husky rolled his eyes and pulled the apron off. "Happy?" he said as he turned back to the stove. 
Sky calmed himself and tried picking up a fork. "I forgot how to use these hooves dude." he said, struggling to get a grip. "Just don't think about it." Husky said as he levitated a plate of pancakes over to Sky. 
Sky's eyes widened. "Wait- did you just.." he said. "Did i just-" Husky said, equally surprised. Husky looked up and saw a turquoise horn poking out of his mane. "No wonder my head hurt so much last night." he said. 
"Cool.....you can use...DA MAGICZ!!" Sky said staring at the horn. Husky smiled a rolled his eyes. "Better hurry up and eat before Bajan comes down. You know how much he eats." and with that, Sky started shoveling pancakes into his mouth, stopping every once in a while to take a sip of orange juice. 
Soon, Sky and Husky heard hooves coming down the stairs. They looked to see Ty and Bajan trudging into the kitchen. Ty's mane was a mess, and his headphones were around his neck. Bajan's plaid over shirt wasn't on him, just his white tank top. The colts stopped and saw the mountain of pancakes on the table. Ty and Bajan looked at each other and ran to the table. They started shoveling in pancakes, as if they were in a competition. Sky and Husky stared in disbelief. "Wow." Husky said. After a while, Ty and Bajan stopped eating. 
"Dude you are a whiz in the kitchen Husky!" Ty said. "Yeah, well thanks." Husky replied. "Whoa!" Bajan said, pointing at the horn on Husky head. "When'd you get that?" he asked. "I think last night. My head started to hurt as i went to bed, but i thought it was just a migraine." Husky chuckled. "Well, you guys ready for Apple Bucking season?" Husky asked. Sky and Ty nodded, but Bajan looked confused. 
"What's that?" he asked. "I put a notice on your calendar." Husky told him. "I know, but that doesn't explain what it is." Bajan said, rolling his eyes. "Oh. Well, AppleJack says that every year these special apples, called Zap Apples, appear on the trees. They have to be picked before the end of the third day of they all disappear." Husky replied. "And, today is the third day." he added. "I'm ready!" Ty said enthusiastically. "Me too." Sky said. "Ok. Lets go to Sweet Apple Acres!" Bajan said, rushing out the door. Bajan then ran back in and zipped up the stairs. He came back down three minutes later with his plaid shirt on. Ty shook his head and pulled his head phones onto his ears. Then, the colts walked out of the house and towards Sweet Apple Acres. 
When they got to AppleJack's farm, they heard the clanging of pans. Inside the house, an old green mare was banging them together. The colts ignored it and went to look for AppleJack. Sky saw the rustling of leaves on a tree, so they went to it. There, they saw AJ bucking trees with her hind legs, and rainbow colored apples with zigzag stems fall into buckets. "Howdy partners. Mind lending me a hoof and helping me buck some apples?" she asked as she kicked another tree. "That's what we're here for!" Ty said cheerfully. 
"Good. You colts can cover half of the west field, Big Mac'll cover the South fields, I''ll do the north, and Apple Bloom'll help you guys do the other half of the west field." AppleJack said, shoving a bunch of empty barrels their way."Wait- Apple bloom? Isn't she just a filly?" Bajan asked. "Yep, but she usually does the entire west field, so i think she'll be glad to split the load with you." AJ replied. 
Applejack then went back to bucking, after pointing the way to the west fields. When Sky and the gang got there, they saw some of the trees had already been bucked. Beside one of them, kicking a bunch of times, was Apple Bloom, the yellow filly with a red mane. "Howdy Misters! Nice to see you again! You ready to help me get this west field? Maybe the faster we get this done, the faster i can go play with the cutie mark crusaders!" she said with glee. 
The gang nodded and walked in. Bajan's eyes started to twitch. Husky saw and went over to him. "Dude? You ok?" he asked. "Betty..Betty wouldn't like me hanging around trees.....B-b-betty..." he mumbled. "Its ok. Just think of how awesome the apple pie will taste after we're done." Husky told him. Bajan started to calm down. "Yeah. Apple Pie." he said, his mouth watering. 
Soon the colts got to work, bucking apples, picking apples, plucking apples. Soon, the entire field's trees were empty. Panting and sweating, the colts sat down against the barn. "Dude. That was hard..." Bajan said, trying to catch his breath. 
It was sundown, and AJ called them into the house. "Well fellers, congrats. you picked the entire west field of Zap Apples. For your hard work, i'd like to give you these." Apple Jack said as a big red colt walked in the room. He handed them a five layer cake with white icing and little rainbow apple slices around the layers. On top, there was a little icing budder sword. Sky gasped. "Its So Majestic!!" he said happily. 
"Eeyup." the big red colt said. "Oh yeah! this is Big Mac. The strongest of the Apple Family." Applejack said, and Big Mac smiled. He set the cake on the table and Ty picked it up with his magic. "Ooh. This is harder than i remember." he said, struggling. Husky used his magic to help him pick it up. "Thanks man." Ty said. "Thanks for the majestic budder cake!" Sky said as he followed them and Bajan out of the house. 
It was dark when they got back to the house, but Bashur greeted them friendly. "Welcome back guys! How was Apple bucking?" he asked. "Hard." Bajan replied. Ty and Husky levitated in the cake and put it on the long table in the dining room. "But, we did get a cake." Bajan continued. 
"Cool! Can i have some?" Bashur asked politely. "Sure." Ty said, cutting him a piece. Husky and Ty then cut everyone else a piece, including WeedPony, BluePony, Jason, and Seto. After everyone was done, Ty, Husky, and Bajan were dragged by Sky upstairs. They went into the meeting room, which was full of beanbag chairs and had a water cooler. The center of the room had a big oval table with a bunch of chairs around it. Husky, Ty, and Bajan each took a seat, while Sky shut and locked the door. 
"Ok. so what did you think of our first day back in Ponyville?" Sky asked, sitting at the end of the table, in a big budder chair. "Loved it!" Ty said. "I missed this place." said Husky. "Me too." Bajan chimed in. 
Just then, the portal appeared out of nowhere. "What?! But I didn't tap my amulet!" Sky said confused. Ty and Husky looked at each other in confusion, and Bajan stared at the portal weird-like, The colts didn't get sucked in, but instead, a tan colt popped out. The colt had a black suit and some red and black sunglasses on, and his cutie mark was a music note. The colts looked at each other. They knew exactly who it was.

> A New Recruit
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	The colts jumped for joy. They knew exactly who had been sucked into the portal. It was Captain_Sparklez! Sparklez opened his eyes and saw he was lying on a table. "ugh...last time i jump into a random portal.." he moaned. 
Sparklez shook his head and looked around. He saw four bright colored ponies staring at him. Sparklez yelped and sat up. he tried punching them, but his hands had been replaced with light blue hooves! "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" he screamed, looking at his hooves. "I'm a bucking horse?!?! Did i just say bucking?" What the hell is going on here!?!?" Sparklez yelled in confusion. Sky looked at him. It was definitely Sparklez. He snickered and decided to have some fun. Sky said in a dark, gloomy voice; "CAPTAIN SPARKLES. YOU ARE HERE IN THE FAR FUTURE. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE THE WORLD." he said. 
Ty gave him a sour look. "Sky. Shut up." he said. Sparklez looked at tan pony in the white shirt with headphones. His voice was very familiar. "Sparklez. It's fine. We're not gonna hurt you." Ty said, giving him a reassuring look. "W-w-h-o-o are you guys?" Sparklez stammered. "Dude, its me. Ty! And Huskymudkips, BajanCanadian, and Sky!" Ty said, pointing to the colts as he said their names.
Sparklez looked confused. "What? Why are you guys horses? How did you get here? Why am i a horse?" Sparkles asked. Sky rolled his eyes. Sparklez just noticed that Sky was a budder pegasus, Ty and Husky were unicorns, and Bajan was a regular horse. They all had weird tattoo things on their hips. Bajan had Betty on his hip, Ty had an ender eye, Husky had a fish with an X on it, and Sky had a budder ingot. "Whoa." he said. "Calm down dude. We'll explain everything." Husky said, patting him on the back. 
After an hour of questions, answers, and Sky getting bored, everything was explained. "So you guys have these weird amulet things and they let you travel to this Ponyville place?" Sparklez asked. "Yes. And we're staying here for vacation. Your welcome to join us if you like." Bajan replied. "Sure i guess..but i'll have to see this place for myself." Sparklez said wearily. 
"There's even a team PonyCraft here, and there are some of the members we have on our team." Sky said. Sky then flew over to the door and opened it. In front of him was WeedPony and Jason, wrestling on the ground. "Give it back! It's mine!" Jason said, trying to grab something from Weed. "No! I have to show Sky!" Weed yelled back. They both saw Sky and scrambled to get up. WeedPony held out a golden necklace with a dark blue star in the middle. "I found this on the couch. Jason said its his but i don't think so." he said, giving it to Sky. Sky handed it to Jason and he put it on. "Thanks dude." Jason said. WeedPony gave Jason a sour look. Sparklez poked his head out from behind Sky as they walked away. "was that Jason and WeedLion?" he asked. "Yea, although here they're called WeedPony and well Jason." Ty answered. "Oh.." Sparkles said. 
"We'll show you around town, and if you like, maybe you can stay with us over vacation." Sky said, leading them to the stairs. "I don't know Adam, i really have to get back to my music..." Sparkles said, rubbing his head with his hoof. "Dude, Ponyville is in some desperate need of your musical talent. There's lots of inspiration here too!" Ty said. 
Once the colts got down the stairs, they headed for the door. Husky stopped. "Wait just a sec!" He said, running back up the stairs. Husky came back two minutes later with his amulet on, with Bajan's and Ty's in hand. "You never know when we may need these bad boys." he said, handing them out. The colts nodded and walked out. 
Sky lead the group through downtown Ponyville, where lots of ponies greeted them. "Hi Sky!" Welcome back guys!" "Nice to see you Ty!" "How are you Husky?" these were what Sparkles heard as he walked beside his friends. It seemed they were famous here just like in Minecraftia. 
Soon, a little brown colt with a orange-ish red mane wearing a green propeller hat ran up to them. "Oh my gosh! Its team Ponycraft! I love your videos! i play a bunch of games so i can be just like you guys!!" he said. 
"Cool kid. Whats your name?" Sky asked. "My name's ButtonMash. i love your videos!" he said. Button pulled a little sketchbook from out of nowhere. "Would you please give me your autograph?" he asked, holding it out to Sky and the gang. 
The colts chuckled and each stamped their hoof print in a different page of the sketchbook. Button soon got to Sparklez, and looked at him. His eyes got really wide. " Oh. My. Celestia!!!! Its PonySparkles!!!!! I love your music!!! its so awesome!!!" he said holding the book out for him. Sparklez stamped his hoof print and smiled. ButtonMash gave him a huge smile and ran off to some other fillies and showed them. 
The group continued walking until they got to a new store. "I've never seen this place before." Ty said tilting his head. The shop was white with lots of neon lights around it. There were big neon music notes over the door. The giant neon sign in front of the shop read: "Vinyl Scratch's Best Beats!" 
"Lets go check it out. They must have built it while we were away." Sky said as he walked through the glass doors. The floor was lit up with different colored lights, the walls were black with neon paint splashed on them, the DJ's booth was state of the art, there were leather booths, a bar, and a disco ball. 
In the DJ's booth, a white unicorn with a choppy blue mane was wearing big headphones. She was nodding her head like a rocker, holding one hoof in the air, and one hoof on her headphones. She played the music loud and awesome. Sparkles immediately fell in love. 

To Be Continued...... :D
> Getting To Know You
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Captain_Sparklez thought she was the most beautiful thing he had ever laid his eyes on. "Wait, what am i thinking? It's a horse! I'm a person! this is crazy." he thought. 
And yet, he felt somewhat attracted to the white unicorn. Sparklez walked over to her while the others sat down in a circular booth. Sparklez tried to say hi but the music was too loud. He tried waving his arms around to get her attention, but she was wearing big pink glasses and he couldn't tell if she saw him. 
Sparklez decided it wasn't worth making a fool of himself, so he gave up. He started walking back to the circular booth the colts were at when he heard a girlish voice. "Hey wait! Do you need something?" it said. Sparklez turned around to see the white unicorn behind him. She put her glasses over her horn and showed her pinkish eyes. Sparklez froze. "I..um..uh..i..." he muttered. 
"You ok buddy?' she asked. She seemed like a punk rocker, but gentle and kind at the same time. "My name's Vinyl Scratch. What's yours?" she asked. 
Over at the table, Sky started whistling and Ty hollered. Sparklez shot them a cold stare and they eventually shut up. "My name's Captain Sparklez." he finally said. "Cool name. Can i get you something?" she asked sweetly. "Um..nah i'm fine..." Sparklez said. Vinyl nodded and trotted back to her booth. 
Soon, the music started up again. Sparklez sighed and walked back to the table. Sky made room for him and punched him in the arm. "Ow." Sparklez said, rubbing his arm. "Somepony's got a girlfriend..." Bajan teased. Sparklez rolled his eyes and sat down. Soon, a light green unicorn with a red mane came over to the table. "Hi! I'm CherryPop, what would you like?" she asked, levitating a pen and paper pad next to her. 
"Budder Juice." Sky said. The waitress scribbled something on her notepad. "MountainMare" Ty said. "Milk!" Husky cheered. "Lemonade." Bajan said. The waitress scribbled all of them down then looked at Sparklez. "And for you?" she asked. "I..um...Dr. Pepper?" he said. She gave him a weird look. "What?" she asked. "He means Dr. Colt" Ty told her. "Oh. ok." she said, writing it down. Cherry then trotted away, levitating her notepad behind her. 
"Dude. You gotta at least try to act like you belong here." Ty said, looking at Sparklez. "Sorry, i don't know pony drinks." he said. After a while, Cherry brought out their drinks. The colts slurped them down and payed them some coins which Sky told Sparklez were called bits. 
The colts started wandering around the town, looking for something to do when a white with a curly purple mane came running up to them. She was panting really hard. "Sky! Ty! Darlings you have to come help me!" she said. "Rarity! Whats wrong?" Ty asked. "Its Sweetie Belle! she and her friends were trying to earn their cutie marks by renovating, but now they're trapped! Oh please come help me!" she said. Sky and Ty nodded and ran after the unicorn. Husky and Bajan followed, and Sparklez followed them. 
The colts came to a big white building with a little carousel on top. "This is the carousel boutique by the way.." Rarity told them as she was running inside. Once in the living room, the colts heard some high voices. "Help! We're stuck!" one said. "I would get them out, but i cant find them!" Rarity said, looking through the broken boards, sheets, dust, plaster, buckets, boxes, tools, and broken glass scattered about. Ty's horn started to glow, as well as Rarity's and Husky's. 
Soon, planks, glass and debris hovered in the air, as the unicorns searched for the fillies. Sparklez picked up boards and flipped stuff over searching as well. Sparklez ran into the other room, which seemed to be the kitchen, and heard the voices again. "Help us! Please!" one said. Sparklez flipped over a big board to show three little fillies, tucked into balls. They stared at him. He stared back. 
Suddenly, the fillies cheered and pounced on him. "Thank you thank you thank you!" the little unicorn said. "You saved our skins!" the pegasus said. "Thanks mister!" the pony said. The three fillies hugged him and ran into the other room. Sparklez turned to see Sky, Ty, Rarity, Husky, and Bajan standing in the doorway. Sky smiled. Ty looked at Husky and Bajan, and they all smiled. Rarity gasped and flittered her eyes. "Oh my hero!" she said dramatically. The colts chuckled. 
They went over to him and patted him on the back. Sky patted him so hard him glasses nearly came off. "Thank you so much boys. I will never be able to repay you. But thank you." she said, herding the fillies upstairs. "Now its time for you girls to get a bath." she said, and the colts heard groans as they walked out the door. 
Soon the went back to the house where Sparklez had gotten sucked into the portal. The colts walked in and Sky and Ty went and sat on the couch, Bajan went upstairs, and Husky went into the kitchen. 
Sparklez was left alone at the door to think. "Should i stay here? What if i cant get back? But i really want to see that pony again... Wait. No. Your a human. not a horse." Sparklez shook his head. "Sky can i see you for a sec?" he said, waving him over. Sky trotted over to him. "I'm not sure about this dude." Sparklez told him. "This place is growing on you though huh?" Sky replied. "yeah." Sparklez said, rubbing his head with his hoof. "I think ill stay for a while." Sparklez said, as he and Sky walked over to the couch. 

To Be Continued! :D
> Running Of the Leaves >:)

	The next day, Sky woke up in his budder bed with a piercing loud sound ringing in his ears. "What the buck is that?" he said, rubbing his eyes with his hooves. Next to his bed on the nightstand was an alarm clock ringing. He sighed and covered his head with his blankets. The  ringing continued and eventually Sky couldn't take it anymore. He threw his sheets off of him, walked over to the alarm clock and picked it up. "Shut up." he told it, hitting the snooze button. The clock kept ringing, driving Sky mad. "Ugh! Why won't you turn off?!" he said, throwing the clock to the ground. Sky got so frustrated that he began to stomp on the clock, smashing it to pieces. The ringing finally stopped, and Sky gleamed with pride. Sky turned around to see Ty, Husky, Bajan and Captain_Sparklez staring at him in the doorway. "um...Dude?" Ty said staring at him.
"Heh heh...um...the clock wouldn't shut up and...um...i.." Sky stammered as the colts looked at the broken clock and back at Sky. Suddenly, Husky burst out laughing and rolled on the floor. Bajan and Ty soon followed, holding their guts as they laughed. Sky rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah yeah. Hilarious. Now if you knuckle heads would excuse me...." he said, shutting the door. 
Sky then went through his daily routine. He got dressed, stretched his wings, moved around broken clock parts, and put on his shades. He then walked out the door and down the stairs. Once downstairs, all of Team PonyCraft were gazing out the windows, staring at the outside. "What are you guys looking at?" Sky asked as he walked to the window. The colts made room for him to look. 
Outside, ponyville was buzzing with excitement. All around, the trees were orangish red and yellow. "Whoa. Wait- Wasn't it like just summer yesterday?" Sparklez asked. "Yeah, but it was the end of Summer. Today is the first day of Fall, and the annual Running of the leaves!" said WeedPony, pointing toward Sweet Apple Acres."Whats the running of the leaves?" Husky asked. "Every year, ponies gather to run a huge race around ponyville to knock down all of the colored leaves from the trees, making room for winter to come." WeedPony told them.
"That sounds awesome!" Sky said as he did a flip in the air. "Dude. We should participate!" Ty said cheerfully. The colts nodded in agreement. "OK. Go to town hall to sign up! Good luck guys!" Weedpony said as he headed to the desk. "I'm gonna go animate stuff..." He mumbled as he walked away. So, Sky, Ty, Captain Sparklez, Husky, and Bajan ran to town hall to sign up for the race. 
They waked into the Town Hall building where a tan pony with a gray wavy mane greeted them. "Hi! Would you like to sign up for the running of the leaves?" The mare asked. The colts nodded. The mare pulled out a clip board and they all signed their names on it. "OK. The race will begin in 30 minutes. You signed up just in time." she said. The colts left the building and started walking in the direction of the race. Sky saw a big starting line and flew over to it. The gang followed him. 
Half an hour later, the tan mare with the wavy gray mane and tail came over to the starting line. "Before we begin, any pegasi participating in the race will need to tie their wings to their bodies, to prevent cheating." All of the pegasi, including Sky, had their wings tied to the sides. "Racers On the Mark!" she yelled. "Get Set!" The racers waited in suspense. "GO!!!!" she yelled and shot a pistol with a cork tied to into the air. 
All of the ponies started running, some way ahead, others way behind. Leading the race was Sky and Ty, neck and neck. Husky soon ran up next to them, followed by Bajan. Captain Sparkles panted as he ran after them, trying his best to keep up. He hated running. He soon caught up with them, panting and wheezing. Sky soon shot ahead of Ty and Sparklez, and caught up with Husky and Bajan. Bajan looked behind him to see how far ahead he was, and when he looked back- WHAM! he ran into a tree. Dazed, Bajan rubbed his head and began running again. Sky and Husky were neck and neck when suddenly Ty came running up behind them, with a fainted captain Sparklez on his back. "Hey...*Pant* guys...Sparklez...*Pant* fainted..." he said running. 
Soon, two pegasi flew down to the racers and lifted Captain Sparklez off Ty's back as he ran. Ty felt a surge of relief as the weight got pulled off of him. Bajan had finally caught up with Sky, Ty, and Husky as they were approaching the final section. Sky's heart was pounding, and his lungs were wheezing, but he made himself run as fast as he could. Sky pulled ahead of his friends by literally by a nose.
Bajan couldn't see straight. Ever since he ran into the tree, his vision had become blurred and crooked. He felt like Ssundee when they were having the Team Crafted race. Bajan shook his head really hard, and his vision improved a little bit. Things weren't fuzzy, but they were crooked. Bajan kept running as fast as his hooves could go.
Ty's head was full of thoughts. "Gotta beat Sky...I hope Sparklez is ok...I can do it....i wonder whats for dinner tonight? Cheat. Its the only way to win. No. I'm not gonna cheat." he shook the thought from his head and sped up. Husky was out of breath. His chest hurt and he was getting light-headed, but he continued to run. Sky could see the finish line in the distance, and ran even faster. Ty ran faster too, as well as Husky and Bajan. Ty and Husky pulled up even with Sky, and Bajan followed. The colts ran across the finish line in a cloud of dust. It was a photo finish! 
Once the dust cleared, the other racers started to show up. What they saw were four dusty, sweaty, tired colts, tied up in a knot on the ground. A light gray pegasus with a yellow mane and tail with bubbles for a cutie mark brought the pictures over to the judge. The judge tapped the microphone on stage with her hoof. "Ahem. Everypony! We have a winner!" she said. "Well, actually, we have four winners!" she said. 
The ponies stomped their hooves on the ground and cheered. "Would SkydoesPonycraft, Ponylox, HuskyPonykips, and BajanPony please come up to the stage?" she asked. The colts had untied themselves from the knot thy were in and walked on stage one by one. Four mares greeted them and put a gold medal on each of them. "Mares and gentlecolts! Your Running of the Leaves Champions!" the judge said, pointing at the group. After all the excitement, the colts went back to the Ponycraft base. 
Once they got there, they were greeted by Captain Sparklez. "Hey guys! I heard you won the race!" he said cheerfully, patting them on the backs as they walked in. "Yeah, how are you feeling?" Ty asked him. "I'm good, i just needed a rest." he said. "I'm beat. I'm gonna go to bed. See you guys in the morning!" Sky said as he flew up the stairs. "I think i'll join him and hit the hay." Husky said, climbing up. Bajan nodded and followed them. "I'm gonna go outside for a few." Ty said, and walked out the door. Sparklez noticed that Ty looked a little upset. 
Outside, Ty sat down on a bench near the house. "I don't feel so good...." he moaned and held his head. Captain Sparklez secretly followed him outside and hid behind a tree. Ty moaned and held his head. "Whats....going...on...." he groaned. Ty fell to the ground. he moaned louder. "My head.....ow ow ow!!!" he said. 
Inside Ty's head, something was stirring. The voice had come back. "Ty. Don't fight it. Let me take control." it said. "NO. I won't let you be in control again!" Ty yelled, not realizing it. Sparklez jumped at this sudden outburst. Then, Ty collapsed. A dark purple aura surrounded him. There was a flash of bright light, and then it was gone. Ty quickly got up. When he stood, he now had light purple bat wings, his ears were pointed, and his eyes...they were no longer brown. 
They are a luminescent lime green. Ty chuckled. "Heh heh heh. Good. Stay down. Let me be in control for a while...." he said in a deep voice. Sparklez couldn't believe what he saw. Ty turned his head in Sparklez direction. He smiled a sharp-toothed smile. "If you know whats good for you Jordan, you will keep your mouth shut, and Not. Breath. A Word......"

> The Origins Of Enderlox
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	It had been a few weeks since Jordan had seen Enderlox. He had warned Sky like he was told, and Sky told him not to worry. But he couldn't help but worry. This week was the last week of winter, and Husky said Winter Wrap up would be coming soon. 
Jordan was in his room thinking about Enderlox when he heard a knock on his door. "Sparklez? You in there?" it was Sky. "Come in." Jordan said. Sky opened the door and walked in along with Husky, Bajan, and Jason. "You still worried about Enderlox bro?" Sky asked. Jordan nodded. "Who..or What is Enderlox?" he asked.
Sky sat down on Jordan's bed. "Ok. You guys wanna know?" he asked. The colts nodded and sat on their haunches. "Ok. Well, take a seat, cause this is a long one. It all happened on a warm Sunny day. This was way before Team Crafted was ever formed. Anyway, me and Ty were walking around, looking for pigs when we saw something that caught our eyes. It was a cave made of obsidian and Bedrock. We ran over to it and started breaking the obsidian. 
Once in the mine, we dug deep down until we came upon a weird looking portal. it looked like a nether portal but it was made of bedrock. We were skeptical at first, but eventually we jumped in. The portal disappeared behind us. On the other side of the portal was a palace. Well, a palace made of Bedrock. At the end of the room we were in was a majestic budder throne. Me and Ty ran to it because it was the only familiar thing there. 
Suddenly, the torches on the walls flickered and blew out. It was completely dark except for two white glowing eyes. It hit me. We were in the lair of Herobrine. The torches flickered back on ad Herobrine laughed maniacally. He had a deep voice and spoke to is slowly. "Adam my son. You have betrayed me. The time has come for you to perish." He said. "No dad! I'll try harder! Please!" i yelled, because i really did want to please my dad. Herobrine shot a beam of energy at me. Ty saw this and jumped in front of me, absorbing the blast. 
He groaned in pain as a dark purple aura surrounded him, lifting him into the air. Enderdragon wings ripped out of his flesh, making him scream in agony. A tail grew from his back, spikes tore out of his back, and his teeth became sharp. Ty roared in pain as his fingers grew claws and his ears became pointed. It hurt me to see my best friend go through such pain. The aura faded and Ty fell from the air. He landed with a *Thud* on the ground. I ran to Ty and kneeled next to him. "Ty! Buddy! Speak to me dude! Please! I need you..." i said. 
Ty opened his warm brown eyes and looked at me. "I-i'm sorry Adam. He's...he's taking over...." he said weakly. "Who buddy! Who!" i asked him. "E..End..Enderlox..." and with that, Ty fainted. I stepped away from him, not wanting to believe what was in front of me. Ty opened his eyes, but they were no longer brown. They were a terrifying bright green. Enderlox had taken over my best friend. He flew up and laughed. "MWAHAHAHA!!! Adam! Your friend is gone. He can no longer help you. Prepare to be......Destroyed!" he yelled, and began to dive-bomb me. I prepared to be obliterated. I stood there waiting, my hands covering my face, and eventually looked up. In the air, Enderlox was twitching and spinning around. Ty was fighting back! I cheered for him. "Go Ty! You can beat em!" I yelled. 
Suddenly, the dragon tail vanished from his back, the spikes and wings went back into his flesh, the horns gone and his teeth and ears back to normal. The claws disappeared and Ty fell from the sky. I ran to catch him and slid on my butt. I caught him in my arms, but he was out cold. I ran back to the base, with Ty in my arms, and gathered my friends at the time. Husky, Bajan and Jason, this is why you did this. Anyways, I had them gather the thing they cherished most and combine them. I had Seto enchant the items into two amulets. 
One, the amulet i always wear, and the other, Ty's amulet. He hides it under his shirt, but its always on him. The amulet was the only thing keeping Enderlox imprisoned when Ty was too weak to fight him." Sky finished his story. Husky gasped. "The amulet must have fallen off during the race!" he said. "I saw something shining in the road when Ty had picked me up, before...well, before I passed out." Jordan said, blushing and rubbing his head with his hoof. "Then we know where to look." Sky said, running out the door. The colts followed him as he ran into the streets. The colts searched the entire length of the race track before they found the amulet,  with the gem cracked and the chain muddy and broken.
Sky picked it up and examined it. "Good. Still kinda in one piece." he said, and shoved it into his shirt pocket. Just then, the colts heard the trotting of hooves down the road. A orange earth pony with a yellow mane was pulling a bid wagon full of apples. "Howdy boys!" she said. "Hi Applejack." Husky said. Bajan smiled and Jordan waved. "Hey AJ, have you seen PonySorcerer lately?" Sky asked. "Um.. last time i saw him he was at Twilight's checking out some spell books." she replied, pulling the apple cart away. Sky ran to Twilight's, followed by the colts. 
He burst through the door to see Seto checking out four different books about spells. "Seto...err....i mean Pony sorcerer! I need your help dude!" Sky said. He pulled out the amulet and showed it to Seto. "Can you fix it?" he asked. Seto sighed. "Bring it to the house. I'll see what i can do." he said, levitating the stack of books by his side and walking out the door. 
Once the colts got back to the house, Seto and Sky walked in his room. Sky set the broken amulet on the table in his room. "Ok. Now go. Magic is very hard to control and i don't want you getting hurt." Seto said, pushing him out of the door. Sky sighed. "Well, the only thing to do now is wait." 

To be Continued!
> Winter Wrap Up
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Sky didn't see Seto for a couple of days after he gave him the amulet. Sky was sitting at the table eating cereal, when he heard hoof-steps coming down the stairs.Sky leaned over in his chair to see who it was. It was Seto! 
Sky got out of his chair and ran to him. "Did you fix the amulet?" Sky asked him. Seto nodded and levitated it to him. Sky tucked the amulet into his pocket and went back to the table. Soon he heard more hoof-steps coming down the stairs. It was Husky, Bajan, and Jason. They were dressed in scarfs and hats. Sky snickered at their appearance. "Guys what are you wearing?!" he said, choking on his cereal. "We're dressed for the cold. It's Winter Wrap Up day." Husky told him, levitating some warm garnets over to him. "Whats Winter Wrap up?" Sky asked, putting his bowl in the sink. Husky sighed and told him. "Winter Wrap up is when the ponies of Ponyville clean up Winter to make way for spring." he said. "And We're gonna help!" said Bajan. 
Husky levitated the garnets closer to Sky. Sky backed up. "Ok, but i'm not wearing those stupid looking things." he said, bumping into the corner. Husky smiled evilly and forced them onto Sky. After he was done, Sky groaned and Bajan and Jason snickered. Sky rolled his eyes and took off the hat. "I'm not gonna mess up my mane." he said. "Come on, we don't want to be late" said Husky, walking out the door. Bajan and Jason followed, with Sky walking slowly behind, grumbling under his breath. 
The scene before them was magnificent. Snow littered the ground making perfectly white fluffy mounds on the ground. Up in the air, Pegasi were clearing the clouds out the sky to make way for the sun to shine. Everypony was either waking up animals, clearing snow off of things, or putting up decor around the town. 
Everypony also had on a colored vest. "Ok. Sky and Jason, your going to be helping the pegasi clear the clouds, Bajan, you will be helping to clear and plow the fields, and I will be waking up animals." Husky said, handing them each a different colored vest. Sky's and Jason's were blue with a little cloud on them, Bajan's was green and had a plant on it, and Husky's was tan with a paw print on it. The colts nodded, putting on the vests, and went to do their jobs. 
Up in the air, the Jason and Sky were greeted by Rainbow Dash, who was kicking clouds left and right. "Sup guys. Here to clear the air?" she asked, giving a cloud a hard kick, making it completely disappear. They nodded. "Ok, well we pegasi also guide the southern birds back up here for spring. Since you don't know your way back, you can just go clear the clouds over Sweet Apple Acres. Sky and Jason nodded, and flew off to AJ's farm. 
Down on the ground, everything was hustling and bustling. Bajan went over to talk to AJ, who was over-seeing the field workers. "Hey AppleJack! Can i help with the plowing?" he asked. "Why sure sugar-cube! Just go grab a plow and start moving!" she said. So, Bajan trotted over to a plow and pushed as hard as he could. The plow started to move a little bit, but not much. Bajan started to get frustrated. He pushed harder and the plow went a little faster. He kept this up until he picked up a fair speed, grunting as he pushed. He was moving slow, but still getting the job done. 
Over on the other side of Ponyville, Husky and Fluttershy, as well as some others were waking up animals out of their dens. Fluttershy gave him a bell and told him to ring it and be sweet to the animals when he woke them up. Husky walked over to a little den and rang the bell. A little ferret poked it's head out. "Hi little buddy." Husky said. The ferret stuck it's nose up high and paraded back into its den. "What?!" Husky said in disbelief. 
In the sky over Sweet Apple Acres, Sky and Jason were having a fun time. They bounced from cloud to cloud, after finding out that they could stand on them. Sky would kick a cloud, causing it to disappear every once in a while. Jason would run head first into them, completely obliterating them. After about an hour, they had the entire sky above Sweet Apple Acres cleared. Sky and Jason looked around for any stray clouds, but found none. So, they decided to go check how well Bajan was doing.
Behind the plow, Bajan was sweating and panting, pushing with all his might. Suddenly, he heard a *thud* on the top of the plow, and it became much heavier. "Just my luck." he said, grumbling to himself. Sky poked his head down from the top of the plow, making Bajan jump. "Watcha doing?" he asked. Bajan rolled his eyes. "I'm TRYING to push this plow. It doesn't really help that your making it heavier." he said. Sky and Jason flew up off of the plow, and Bajan started to move a little faster. "Thank you." he said irritated. "Need any help?" Jason asked, floating beside him. "No I'm good. Why don't you go see if Husky needs any help." Bajan replied. So, Sky and Jason flew off to find Husky. 
Husky was started to get pissed. He tried to be kind, but the animals didn't like him. "This is NOT how i wanted this to go..." he mumbled as he shuffled to the next den. Husky plastered a smile on his face and rang the bell. "Whatever little animal is in there, its time to wake up!" Husky said as sweetly as possible. Just then he heard a hissing noise. Husky looked into the den to find three cobras slithering out. "AAAAAHHHHHH!!!! SNAKES!!!!!" Husky yelled as he ran away from the den, shrieking. Husky ran into something and fell to the ground on his butt. "Ow." he said as he looked up to see what he had run into. Husky heard snickering and realized who it was. "Sorry Sky, didn't see you there." he said, rubbing his head. Husky got off of his butt and dusted himself off. "It's cool dude. But, what were you running from?" he asked. "Snakes." Husky said. 
Sky's eyes widened and jumped into the air. "Snakes??!!?" he said. "Yeah, but they're gone now." Husky replied. "And there's no way i'm gonna wake up any more animals. Are you guys done?" he asked. Sky descended and put on a poker face. "Yeah we finished." Jason said, looking at Sky. "What about Bajan?" he asked, and if on cue, Bajan came strolling up the road, whistling. "Hey guys. Finished plowing the fields!" he said. Sky, Jason, and Husky exchanged looks. "You got somepony to finish it for you huh." Jason said. Bajan's head sunk. He nodded slowly and the colts bursted out laughing. Once they composed themselves, they started going back to the house.
However, they were stopped dead in their tracks by something strange. Something.....Creepy. Something............Evil. They were stopped by the sky suddenly turning to black, clouds forming in the air, and purple lighting cracking in the air. Suddenly, there was a flash of bright light, and Enderlox appeared. Bajan and Husky froze. Jason's eyes widened. Sky growled. "Well Well Well. What do we have here.........."
	
> The Enderlox Battle
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Sky gritted his teeth. Enderlox saw this and laughed maniacally. "Whats the matter Adam? Afraid to fight your best friend...." Enderlox said with a devilish smile. This made Sky even angrier. Sky looked in his shirt pocket to make sure Ty's amulet was still in there, and sure enough, it was. Sky breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he would be able to change his friend back to normal.
Enderlox noticed this sigh and got suspicious. "You seem relieved that I'm going to kill you." he said. Sky smiled. "No. I'm relieved that i'm going to beat you." Sky pulled out a small budder dagger out of his shirt. Enderlox cackled with delight at the thought of a fight, and flew up into the air. Sky followed him up into the clouds. Jason was about to burst into the air when he felt a hoof on his shoulder. "No. Jason, this is Sky's fight." said Husky, looking up at the clouds. "He has to do this himself." Jason lowered his wings and eyed the sky, looking for signs of trouble. 
Up in the air, Sky had his dagger in his mouth, and was looking for the dragon menace. "Come out and fight me coward!" Sky yelled, putting the dagger in his hoof. Suddenly, Sky felt a sharp pain in his back, and turned to see Enderlox had shot a poisonous barb into his back. Sky's back swelled up in pain, as he threw his dagger at Enderlox. The dagger clipped his wing, causing him to fall onto a cloud. Enderlox looked at his wing, and it started to ooze purple blood. He growled and pounced onto Sky, sending them spiraling out of the air. Jason saw them falling and leaped into action. 
He flew up to Sky and bucked Enderlox, allowing Sky to catch himself before hitting the ground. "Thanks man." Sky said, and flew up back into the clouds. Sky looked around, the night air cooling his skin. It was quiet. Too quiet. It made Sky uneasy, and he started to panic. Suddenly, a purple fireball shot through the clouds, missing Sky by just inches. Sky looked up at the hole in the clouds that the fireball made, and saw Enderlox cackling before flying off. Sky shot up through the hole and above the clouds. He strained his eyes looking in the darkness for Enderlox. Sky heard the soft beating of wings, but he didn't see anything. "Figures." he mumbled, starting to descend. He was stopped by a deep voice.
"Leaving so soon?" it said. Sky growled. "What do you want with Ty?" he said, clutching his dagger in his hoof. Enderlox laughed. "Oh your friend? I just want to control him. After that amulet fell off, I was just biding my time until i could escape." Sky's eyes widened. "Oh, sure, he tried to fight it. But without that amulet, he has no power against me." Sky felt his heart sink. Was Deadlox really gone? 
Enderlox laughed. "Of coarse, he's still in my head." he said, knocking on his head. "I mean, I couldn't survive without his body, so i have to keep him alive." Suddenly, Enderlox started twitching and straining against himself. He spoke, but Deadlox's voice came out. "I'm ok Sky! But hurry! He's getting stronger!" he said, then his voice faded. Enderlox was back, and looked like he had a sour taste in his mouth. "Keep Quiet you." he snarled. Sky filled up with rage. He wanted his friend back, and he was going to do whatever it takes. Sky dove down into the clouds below them. Enderlox followed, laughing evilly. Sky flapped his wings as fast as he could, trying to put space between them. He darted left and right, trying to lose Enderlox, with no luck. Finally, Sky decided to do something risky. He flew to the ground as fast as he could, and told the guys to follow him.
They ran to the house, and into Seto's room. "Seto! hurry i need you to do the thing!" Sky said, waking up from his sleep. "What?" Seto said, rubbing his eyes. "I need you to do the thing." Sky said, looking at him seriously. Seto's eyes widened and nodded. He got out of bed and waved them over to a container. Seto opened it, pulling out some vials. He then handed each of the colts a vial. They looked at them in confusion, and then at Sky. "What are these?" Husky asked. Sky rolled his eyes and popped the cork off of his golden vial. He then chugged it, getting every last drop. "Just drink it." he said, wiping his mouth.
So, each of the colts did, getting every drop. "Ok. Now lets go." Sky said, running out. Sky ran out of the house, his friends following him. He looked in the air, and saw Enderlox's shadow in the clouds. "Ok. They should kick in any seco-" Sky was cut off by the glowing coming from his hooves. He was then enveloped in a magical aura, and with a flash of light, it disappeared. His friends looked at him in confusion. Sky then took off his glasses to show them what had happened. They gasped. 
Sky's eyes were no longer blue, and they no longer had a pupil or iris. The were pure white. "Sky?" Bajan asked, looking at him. "Its ok guys. Its a spell to turn me into Skybrine." he said, the colts flinching at the name. "Its not permanent." he said, seeing their fear. Sky then sat on a bench, and waited for each spell to take its course. A few minutes later, the group had transformed into WitherMu, EnderSparklez, BajanPigman and Creeperkipz. Sky' friends checked themselves out, and Sky chuckled. He teleported between them, scaring each one of them. "Good. Ok, we only have until morning until the spell wears off. So we need to beat Enderlox Tonight." Sky said, setting his watch. 
Sky motioned for Jason to follow him into the clouds. Sky nodded and Jason shot a head in the air. This caught Enderlox's attention. As he flew down, Sky sent Jason to the ground. Sky slipped on his glasses and smiled. "Lets Do this." he said. Enderlox appeared out of the clouds."Looks like i found you." he said. Sky laughed. "Why do you laugh in the face of death?" Enderlox asked. Sky removed his shades. "Oh, No reason." he said, shooting him a glance. Enderlox saw his eyes and fear came over him. "No. No no no no no." Sky smiled and flew at Enderlox. Enderlox reacted and ducked, causing Sky to fly over him. He would have crashed, but Sky teleported right before he ran into the water tower. 
Sky teleported right next to Enderlox, causing him to jump. "How did you teleport? Your not a unicorn." he growled, stepping back. "Three words dude. Descendent. Of. Herobrine." In a split second, Sky pulled out the amulet and shoved it onto Enderlox. Enderlox froze, expecting to be defeated. When nothing happened, they were both confused. Soon, Enderlox started to laugh. "Ha! Your stupid trinket is no match for my power!" Sky's heart sank. That was supposed to bring Ty back. It was supposed to work. While Sky was thinking, Enderlox took his chance and shot him with a beam of pure energy. It knocked Sky off his hooves and sent him falling out of the air.
Instead of falling on the ground though, he landed on something leathery. He looked to see what he landed on, and it was in fact Jason. "I gotcha buddy." he said, carrying him to the ground. Sky's friends gathered around him. "It didn't work." Sky said, lowering his head. "Ty...Ty's gone. Enderlox has taken him over completely." the colts gasped. "I..It was all my fault..." Sparklez spoke up. The colts looked at him with confused expressions. "How?" Husky asked. "I..I...was the one who fainted, and he lost his amulet trying to help me. Its my fault." The group gathered around him. 
"No. Its not." Sky told him, and put a hoof on his shoulder. "Enderlox has been inside of Ty for a long time. It's my fault for not getting rid of him when i had the chance." Sky said, looking at the clouds. "I'm not gonna make that mistake again." Sky then shot up into the air with a burst of speed. Sky called out to Enderlox. "Thats it! You are not going to get rid of my friend and get away with it!" he yelled. Enderlox appeared out of the clouds. "What are you going to do." he asked mockingly. "TY!! IF YOUR IN THERE GIVE ME A SIGN!" Sky yelled. Enderlox twitched. That was enough of a sign for Sky. "Ok. Lets do this." Sky said, and flew right at Enderlox, slamming into him, causing them to plummet towards the ground. Sky noticed around him that the sun was starting to come up. "Come....on...." Sky mumbled as he pushed Enderlox closer to the ground. They slammed to the ground with a loud *CRASH*. The sun showed in the horizon, and the colts turned back into their normal selves. 
Sky was on top of Enderlox, pinning his wings to the ground. Enderlox's horn began to glow, but was stopped by Sky putting his own amulet on Enderlox. He connected the amulets like a puzzle, and they started to glow. Enderlox was lifted into the air and started to spin. Sky started to feel dizzy, and his dad's words echoed in his head. "Don't let this happen again. You will not survive next time. Amulet or no Amulet, I won't have the power to keep you alive." Sky's vision must've began to fail him, because it looked like Ty was running towards him. Sky's knees buckled, his vision became spotted, and his ears numb.Then, he blacked out. 
When Sky woke up, he was in a bed with white sheets, and he was hooked up of lots of monitors and machines. Then, he realized where he was. He was in the hospital. Sky's head was pounding, and he ached all over. He heard the door opening, and pretended to be asleep. Two ponies came in, one a nurse and the other Sky couldn't make out. "We're not sure if he'll wake up mr.." "Deadlox. Just call me Deadlox." Sky felt a wave of relief come over him. Ty was back to normal. "I don't know why you wanted to put that amulet on him, but it seems to be helping him. "yeah its um....his good luck charm." Ty said. "Well, i'll leave you two alone, and i'll be back in ten minutes. The nurse then walked out and shut the door behind her. 
Ty pulled a chair up next to Sky's bed. "Hey buddy. I don't know if you can hear me, but i wanted to thank you. You risked your life just to save mine. I'm just sorry you had to go through that. I'll always appreciate it. I wish i could know if you've heard any of this." he said. "Why don"t you just ask?" Sky said, blinking open an eye. Ty gasped. "Sky? Dude! Your alive! Oh my god! Dude!" Ty said, jumping up and down. "Yeah. Where's everyone else?" Sky asked, looking around. "Oh! Their waiting in the hall." Ty then whistled and the colts walked in. 
They gasped when they saw Sky was awake. "Your back!" Bajan said, smiling. "Yep." Sky replied. Sky looked at Ty, and Ty smiled. Why don't we get out of this hospital." Sky said, and got weird looks from the colts. He calmed them down. "My amulet heals me really quick. I'm already fit as a fiddle." he said, getting out of bed. Sky unhooked himself from the machines and walked out of the room, the cots following him, chuckling.
They walked out of the hospital as a gentle breeze blew over their coats. Sky took a deep breath and sighed. "Even with all of the stuff we've been through, this place is still more peaceful than Minecraftia." this got a chuckle out of the group. So, they decided to go mess around in Ponyville. 

To Be Continued! 
> Canterlot
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Sky was bored out of his mind. He stared at the passing landscape out the train window. Sky, Ty, Jason, Husky, Jordan, and Bajan were invited to join Twilight on her trip to Canterlot. "Are we there yet?" Sky whined, looking at Twilight. "We still have about a two hour ride, so calm down." she said, looking up from her book. Sky groaned and beat his head on the window. 
He then got up out of his seat and stretched. He looked around and saw Ty and Husky....horn wrestling? Yea, they were pushing against each other's horn, almost like hoof wrestling. Sky rolled his eyes and glanced over at Jordan, who was humming a tune and scribbling on some paper every once in a while. "Musicians." Sky mumbled and he rolled his eyes and smiled. Sky walked over to Jason, who was staring out the window. "Hey Jason." Sky said, sitting in the seat across from him. "Sup." Jason said, still looking out the window. "Excited to see Canterlot?" Sky asked. "I guess. But what Twilight makes it out to be, it seems like the ponies there are really stuck up." Jason said with a sigh. "Well, at least we'll finally get to meet this Princess Celestia character." Sky said with a happy tone. 
After about two hours of waiting in the train, the group finally arrived at Canterlot. The colts scrambled out of the train, and Sky flew up into the clouds. He came back down two minutes later, cloud mixed in his mane. "Whew. Feels good to be out of that stuffy train." he said, shaking the clouds out of his mane. "Ok boys, first we are going to make a stop by the castle and meet the Princesses. Then we can explore Canterlot more." Twilight said, putting her book in her saddle bag. Twilight led the colts up to a giant marble castle. It had tons of half yellow, half dark blue flags with a half sun, half moon image in the middle. "Wow." Husky said, staring at the giant structure. "This is where the princesses live?" he asked. Twilight nodded and opened the giant doors. 
They swung open and 2 ponies dressed in golden armor greeted the group. "Hello Ms. Sparkle. Here to see the Princess?" One asked. He was a big dark grey colt with a pink mane sticking out between his helmet. The other colt was white with a golden mane. "Yes. Theses are my friends. They are also here to see the Princess." she said, giving them a smile. The two guards moved out of the group's way and shut the doors behind them. Twilight lead the group down a long hallway, with tapestries and statues on the walls. There was silence while they walked, the only sound coming from the clopping of hoofs on the marble floor. Soon the group came up to a big wooden door with two crowns on the front. "Ok. Here we go. Best behavior guys." she warned as she knocked on the doors. Suddenly, the doores became enveloped in a golden aura and slowly opened. Twilight and the colts walked in the doorway to find two more guards, dressed in golden armor, standing in front of them.
The colts looked oddly familiar to Sky. One was a light brown with lots of fur. His mane was really big and hung over his eyes slightly, and his tail was really long and fluffy. Under his armor he had a black suit on, but only covering his top half. His cutie mark was what troubled Sky the most. It looked like a golden axe. Sky took a double take and saw that it was indeed a golden axe. That could only mean one thing. 
Sky sprinted up the front of the group to get a closer look. "Fluffy!!!" he yelled, tackling the pony. The other guard's expression went from shock, to alert, confusion, then back to shock. The guard Sky had tackled chuckled. "About time you guys found me." he said with a cheerful tone. The rest of the colts recognized their friend and pounced on him. "Dude! How did you get here?" Husky asked, looking at him intently. "Fluffy! We missed you!" Sky said, rubbing on the fluffy colt. "How the Hay did you get here?" asked Bajan. 
"Well, it happened like this. I was walking in Minecraftia, well, in the Team Crafted base to be specific. Anyways, i was inspecting the base boundaries when i heard Jordan yelling. I ran outside to see him getting sucked into some kind of nether portal, but it was made of obsidian and marshmallows. Anyways, i ran to grab his feet, but i got sucked in too. I stabbed Betty into the ground and grabbed onto it, hoping it would keep me from going in any further. Suddenly, i heard a ripping sound. I looked into the portal to see an unconscious Jordan, and his jacket ripping. I started freaking out, and when i freak out, my hands get sweaty. Well, the sweat made the jacket slippery, and i kinda lost my grip. Jordan flew into the portal, and i saw his body change. It was the weirdest thing. He turned a light blue, then got on all fours. His arms and legs shrunk and his fingers were replaced by hooves. His ears moved to the top of his head and he grew a muzzle. a horn came out of his forehead and a hairy tail sprouted from his butt. It was so weird, i started freaking out. Again. I lost my grip on Betty, and was sent right into Jordan. He kicked me in the chest, sending me flying into a different part of the portal. Next thing i knew, i was in the middle of a throne room filled with colorful talking ponies. After chatting with Princess Celestia, she told me about where i was and that i wasn't alone. She told me you guys were here, but she couldn't pin-point where. So, she gave me a job as a royal guard and thats where i've stayed. Until you guys came that is." 
Once Jerome had finished his story, silence filled the room. Sky, Ty, and Husky's jaw had dropped to the ground. Bajan was sprawled on the ground laughing, and Jordan blushed at the fact that Jerome had seem him change into a pony. "Wow." Sky said, patting Jerome on the back. "Anyways, you guys here to see Celestia?" Jerome asked, putting his helmet back on, which had fallen off when Sky tackled him. "Yep! We haven't gotten to meet her, so here we are!" Sky said happily, as if meeting royalty was no big deal. "Ok, well behave guys." Jerome said, returning to his guard position. The colts chuckled as they walked into the giant throne room with two golden thrones at the end. 
In one, there was a huge white alicorn with a long, flowing rainbow mane and tail, and on her flank was a picture of the sun. Sky felt that he knew her from somewhere, he just couldn't name where. In the other throne was a dark blue alicorn with a black chest-plate on her. She she was big, but not as big as Celestia. Her mane and tail were captivating. they looked like they were made of stars, and each one almost shimmered. On her flank was a picture of the moon. Sky was captivated. The two alicorns radiated with beauty. Twilight bowed and motioned for the colts to do the same. Each one of them bowed. "Greetings my friends. What brings you to Canterlot?" Celestia asked. Twilight stepped up. "Hello Princess. I have come to see if i may look in the royal library. I have a subject i want to research." she said. Celestia nodded and stood up. "Come with me and I will take you there myself. I haven't been in the library in quite some time." she said, standing up. Sky noticed that when she stood, she was even taller. He only came up to the top of her leg, and he was quite a tall colt. Princess Celestia hopped off of her throne and lead the group down a long hall way.
After about ten minutes of walking, the group came up to a large wooden door with golden trim around it. In front of the door, two white pegasus wearing golden armor had swords with their mouths. The two pegasi opened the door for the princess and bowed as she walked by. The library was pitch black. Princess Celestia's horn lit up, covering the area in a shimmering golden light. Twilight and Ty followed, adding magenta and lime green light to the mix. Husky did the same, adding blue light. The area looked like a rainbow. The group walked, (or flied, in Sky's case) over marble floors. Soon the group came to a small area with a purple rug and some couches. Sky looked around and saw a lantern sitting on the coffee table. He ran over to it and opened it. The wicker was cold, and Sky frowned. Twilight walked over to him and shot a small beam of magic at the lantern, making the wicker burst into a small flame. Sky smiled and held up the lantern with his hoof. "So, what are we looking for Twi?" he asked. Twilight was busy staring at a bookshelf, but realizing she was being talked to, snapped out of her trance. "Oh. We're looking for books about Earth." she said. Celestia nearly had a heart attack. "What did you just say?" she said, holding her hoof to her chest. Everypony gave her a nervous look. "Oh right..." Twilight said, her cheeks turning pink. 
Jason and Ty helped the princess over to a chair. "You see princess...." Twilight began. She was interrupted by Sky walking over to the princess. He had just noticed she looked oddly familiar. "You....I know you......" he said, looking at her intently. "I...uh...don't know what your talking about..." Celestia stammered. This earned a confused look from Twilight. The Princess never got nervous, so why now? Sky tilted hi head. "I'm sure of it. I know you. I just don't know where." he said. Just then, Ty gasped. The group looked at him as he ran over to Sky. Ty cupped his hoof up to his mouth and whispered something in Sky's ear. Suddenly, Sky's eyes grew wide. His mouth hung open, and he froze. Ty waved a hoof in front of his best friend. No reaction. "What's wrong with him?" Twilight asked. Ty sighed. "He's in shock." he said, reaching into his saddle bag. Twilight hadn't even noticed he had it on. 
Ty pulled out a golden ingot and waved it in front of Sky's face. Sky blinked and pounced on the gold. "...Budder..." he mumbled. Jason and Husky snickered. Ty looked back at Celestia. "It's been a long time Tia." he said. Jason, Husky, and Jordan gave him a confused look. "How do you know the Princess's nickname?" Twilight asked him. Ty gave her an amused look. he was about to speak when Sky stood up. "Because we knew her when she was only a filly." Sky said, looking at Celestia. The princess blushed. Twilight looked at her mentor. Celestia smiled. "This is true." she said.

> Tia
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Twilight was in shock. She stood there, staring at the princess, looking at Sky, back at the princess, back at Sky, until she got dizzy. Twilight looked at his friends for any sign of clarity, but they gave her the same confused look she gave them. Finally, Sky spoke. "Ahem. Yea. Me and Ty knew her when she was a filly." he said, folding his wings to his sides. "But..but..how?" Husky said, taking the words right out of Twilight's mouth. This is when Ty cleared his throat. "Well, you see, this was long before we new Equestria even existed. It was back when Minecraft was in Beta, and me and Sky were only kids. Notch had told us to look around and see if there were any glitches." He said, walking over to a cushion on the floor. 
Ty was about to start again when Sky interrupted. "We were walking around Minecraftia when a big portal, kinda like the one Jordan fell in, appeared. Me and Ty didn't know what to think, and, since we were only 7, decided to jump in out of curiosity. On the other side, we found a town, or well a village of candy colored ponies. We noticed that we too, had been changed into ponies. Not really caring, me and Ty walked up to a light green pony with blonde braids sticking out of her bonnet, and an apple with a ribbon tied to it on her flank. "Why hello little ones. Welcome to our little village. I am Lady Autumn Gold. What brings you two here?" she said. Me and Ty looked at each other in shock. "I...um...I am Deadlox, and this is SkyDoesMinecraft. We um...don't know how we got here, or how to get home." Ty told her. She gave us a sympathetic look and was about to say something, but then she randomly bowed. I looked behind me and saw a little white alicorn, about the size of Scootaloo, with a pink mane. Sitting beside her was a small light blue alicorn with a light blue mane and a large white alicorn with purple and orange hooves and a flowing mane, tail, and wings. They looked like they were made of clouds. Anyways, the trio got out of the golden carriage and the fillies started to run around. The tall alicorn walked up to me and Ty, and her fillies followed." Sky said, playing with his wings. 
Ty took up the story from this point. "Anyways, yea, she and her fillies walked up to us. "Hello. I am Helius. These are my daughters, Celestia and Luna." she said. Her voice was like melted gold-er..budder. I stammered to get words to form in my mouth, whereas Sky acted like he was talking to a friend. "Hi! I'm Sky, and this is Deadlox." he said. Helius smiled. "Hmm. two fillies, a pegasus and a unicorn. How did you two get here?" she asked. Me and Sky looked at each other. "Well, you see, we don't know your Majesty." i said, giving her a sheepish smile. She brought us over to her carriage. Queen Helius crouched down and whispered to us. "I know your from a different world. I just don't know how, or if i should send you back, and if you might stay ponies." she whispered." Ty took a deep breath, if trying to remember more. 
Suddenly, Sky blurted out. "Oh yea! Then, Queen Helius touched her horn to my chest, and it started to burn. Dude, it felt like a thousand fire ants biting me at once. When she was done, I pulled down my shirt slightly to see if there was a mark. On my chest, it looked like she had given me a tattoo." Sky said, and pulled his shirt down slightly to reveal a large, black outline of a sun, with a moon inside it, and in the middle was a sword. The group marveled at the image, including Celestia. "She told me that as long as this mark was on me, a part of Equestria would always be with me. Queen Helius told us that she would be back in a few days, so we should wait in ponyville for her to return. We made ourselves a home, and soon the queen did come back. After trying to figure out if being ponies in Minecraftia was worth it, me and Ty told Queen Helius to hit us with her best shot. The Queen shot a beam of golden light at us, and we were transported home. We woke up with some pretty nasty burns, but we were human again. Over the years, we made new friends, and eventually forgot about Equestria. I guess years in Minecraft is Centuries in Equestria. But, we're back, so that's that." Sky got up and stretched. 
The room was silent, the group staring at Ty and Sky. The colts mouths were on the floor. Literally, their jaws were stretched to the floor. Celestia sat in her chair blushing, and Twilight seemed to be trying to add everything up in her head. "Ok. Um...aren't we here to look for books about earth?" Ty asked. Twilight shook out of her mental state. "What? oh yeah. Ok, um yeah. Look for books about Earth, or Minecraftia." she said, walking over to a bookcase. Sky and Ty walked over to a bookcase, skimming over the covers. "I can't believe how long ago that was." Ty said, levitating a book in front of him. "Yea. But i'm glad we're back." Sky said, and flipped open a book to read.

> Sky's 25th Birthday
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Sky's hooves clicked against the cobble road. They made a *clip* *clop* *clip* *clop* as he ran. Sky's heart was pounding out of his chest, his breathing short and shallow. Sky's eyes darted left and right, searching for his pursuer. His brow was sweating, making his mane stick to his face. Sky lifted his left wing, and winced in pain. He had tripped over a log and landed on it. "...Gotta...get...away..." he mumbled, as he heard the rustling of bushes. Sky didn't bother to see what it was. He knew. 
Sky picked up speed as he ran, trying his best to get away. Sky ran to Twilight's treehouse, and pulled on the big wooden door. Twilight stared at him through the window, smiling devilishly. "Looks like your in trouble." she mocked. Sky couldn't believe it. Twilight wanted him to get killed. Sky ran away from the treehouse, searching for a safe place. Suddenly, a dark blue alicorn with a shining black mane descended from the clouds. "Luna! Help me please." Sky pleaded.
The princess stared at him. "Luna?" he asked. "Adam. We apologize for your fear. But this is only a nightmare. We are here to help you." she said in a commanding voice. "But, i've had this dream for so many nights now, how do i make it stop!?" Sky yelled. "You must face your fear." the princess said simply. "But i can't." Sky said. "Then there is no hope for you." Luna told him. Then, she started to fade. So did the land, the sky, and the houses. Sky woke up in a cold sweat, panting and breathing hard. He looked around to see he was in his bed, tucked under his budder sheets. "How do i face my fear, if i soon might become it?" Sky asked himself.
The next morning Sky heard a knocking at his door. "Sky? You in there?" It was Ty. Sky groaned. "I'll take that as a yes." Ty said, and opened the door with his magic. Once the door opened, sunlight flowed into the dark room from the hallway. Sky pulled the sheets over his head and tried to escape back into his dreams. "Sky. It's time to get up. We have a busy day." Ty said, pulling the sheets off of his friend. Sky hissed and rushed under his bed. "Whoa. That was weird." Ty said, putting the sheets back on the mattress. "Sky, if you didn't want to be disturbed, you could have just told me." And with that, Ty walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him. Sky crawled out from under his bed. "Why did i do that?" he asked himself. Sky walked over to his dresser and pulled on his black shirt. 
He was about to put on his silver armor when something stopped him. Sky reached a hoof out to grab it, and the silver burnt his fur. "Ouch!" he said, shoving the burnt hoof in his mouth. Sky shrugged and went over to his closet. "The armor must be hot from the sun." Sky told himself, even thought his drapes were purple and let no light into the room. Sky had just noticed that he had been getting dressed in the dark. "Heh, guess my eyes are really adjusted to this dark light." he said. Sky opened the closet and was about to pull on some budder armor when something caught his eye. In the corner or the closet was some smooth obsidian armor with golden trim. "Ooh. I like this." he said, pulling it on. The armor gave him a sense of power.
Sky then walked over to his mirror to comb his mane. He picked up a brush with his wing and looked in the mirror. Sky stared harder at the mirror, trying to see something. "it must be really dark in here, cause i can't even see myself!" Sky said jokingly. Sky gulped and flicked on the small lamp by the mirror. Sky's eyes grew wide and his brush fell to the floor with a *thud*. Sky backed away slowly from the mirror, his mouth gaping wide with fear. "No. No this can't be happening. Not yet! Dad said it wouldn't happen until i was 25!" Sky told himself. Then Sky realized something. Today was his birthday. His 25th Birthday. "NO!!!!!" Sky yelled. Suddenly, he heard the clopping of hoof-steps up the stairs. "Sky! What's wrong?!?" Husky yelled. "Sky! We're coming!" Bajan screamed. "Adam hold on!" Ty yelled. Sky rushed over to the door and locked it. "D-d-don't come in! I'm not feeling well!" he said, knowing his friends were at the door. "Sky! What's wrong??!" Ty yelled as he banged on the door. Ty used his magic to unlock the door, and tried to push it open. Sky leaned on the door, but with Husky and Bajan pushing as well, Sky was no match. The door burst open and the colts rushed in. 
Sunlight filled the room as Sky lay on the ground. The sun touched Sky's skin and he wailed in agony. "Sky! Whats the matter!?!" Ty yelled in shock. Ty rushed to the aid of his friend. Seeing that the sunlight hurt him, Ty ordered Husky to shut the door. Sky stopped wailing and instead was left trembling. Ty picked up his friend's head. "Sky...talk to me buddy..." Ty said. Sky looked at him weakly. "I...i'm...sorry Ty. I thought it wouldn't happen...but it has.." Sky mumbled. Ty's heart stopped. "No. Sky fight it. Please buddy. No. Please!" Ty said, his eyes starting to water. Husky and Bajan left the two friends alone, not knowing really what was going on. "Tell the gang i'm sorry...Ty...You need to be strong...be...a leader..." Sky said weakly. "Sky. No. Your the leader. Please. Maybe Twilight has a cure. The vampirism hasn't taken over completely has it?" Ty asked hopefully. Sky sat up and rubbed his hoof. "No...but it will...soon.." he said. "Ok. I'll go get Bajan and Husky, and tell them to alert the" Ty was cut off by Sky shaking his head. "No. Nopony can know." Sky said, slowly rising to his hooves. "Ok. But how are we gonna get you outside?" Ty asked. "I'll make and exception to what i just said. Get Jason."
Ty scrambled down the stairs, followed slowly by Sky, which by now had full bat ears. Sky pressed them against his head hoping nopony would notice. Once he stepped down on the wooden floor, he was tackled by Husky, Bajan, WeedPony, Seto, Jordan, and Pinkie Pie. "Happy Birthday Sky!" they said in unison. Sky scrambled to get up. He was lead into the kitchen by the group to a big golden cake. Jordan walked up to him. "Why are you wearing your obsidian armor? You haven't worn that in forever." Sky just nodded and moved closer to the cake. After he blew out his candles, Bajan came up to Sky with a confused look on his face. "Dude. What's up with your ears?" he asked. Sky's ears were still flattened against his head. "I...um...the noise from the party is...uh...making my head hurt." he answered. Bajan rolled his eyes. " Not that, i mean why are your ears kinda pointed?" he asked again. Sky started to stammer and began to back away slowly. Then he turned and dashed up the stairs, leaving Bajan with a confused look on his face. Sky ran into his room and slammed the door. He slid down onto his haunches, breathing heavily. "Get it together Sky." he told himself. Suddenly, his sides started to burn. Sky stretched his wings and saw that they were becoming leathery and webbed. "No! Not Phase 2. Not Bat wings." he said, holding his wings out wide. Sky pulled on his saddle bag to cover his wings. "Ok. good, but that won't fool them for long." Sky said, tightening the strap around him. 
Suddenly, Sky heard a loud knocking on his door. "Sky? You in there?" asked Ty. Sky breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of his best friend. "Did you get Jason?" Sky asked through the door. "Why don't you ask me yourself bro?" Jason joked. Sky unlocked the door and waved them in. Jason's expression changed from cheery to shock. "Whoa. Ty wasn't kidding. You look scary!" Jason said. "Yeah, and it's getting worse. Look." Sky said as he lifted the saddle bag off of his back, revealing the dark blue bat wings. Both Ty and Jason jumped. "Phase 2 already?" Ty asked. Sky nodded. "Ok, so whats the next phase and how long do we have until it?" Jason asked calmly. Sky thought for a moment then spoke. "Ok, so next is Phase 3, which is fangs. Then comes Phase 4, which is the eyes. After that comes Phase 5, which is color, and the final step is the final transformation, where my personality becomes pure evil, and the thirst for blood becomes so strong i can't stand it." Jason gulped. Ty had a look of complete fear on his face. "Ok, so how long until...the final step?" Ty asked. "The phases happen about half an hour between each other. The wings just happened, so we have about twenty minutes until Phase 3." Sky answered. 
Ty and Jason nodded. "But i cant go outside. The sunlight already really hurts, and once the fangs come, it will kill me." Sky said. Ty gave him a sad look which quickly turned to joy. "I know!" he said, galloping out of the room. Ty came back about five minutes later with a black cowl held in his magic. "Perfect!" Sky said happily. Sky threw on the cowl and pulled the hood over his head. Ty walked down the stairs with Sky and Jason behind him. He opened the front door and Sky hissed. Sky shook his head and got ahold of himself. "Get it together Sky. Don't let it take over." he muttered. Ty, Sky, and Jason walked through Ponyville, the occasional "You ok?" or a hiss from Sky, right before him telling himself to get it together.
Eventually, the trio arrived at Twilight's library. Ty knocked on the door, and Twilight answered almost immediately. "Hey guys! What brings you here?" Twilight asked cheerfully. Ty, Sky, and Jason walked into the library. Jason went around to all the windows and started closing the drapes. Ty lit up some of Twilight's lamps, while Twilight sat on her haunches giving them confused looks as they worked. After they had finished, Ty and Jason nodded to each other. "Sky your good." Ty said, sitting on his haunches. Sky then removed the cowl he was wearing to reveal his bat wings, pointed ears, and newly sharpened teeth. "Oh no. Phase 3. Fangs." Sky said. "Twilight, we have a problem." Ty told her. 
After telling Twilight the entire story, Sky was pooped. "That's about it." Sky finished. "Wow." Twilight said. She stood up and stretched her wings, letting her back pop. She sat back down and began to talk. "Believe it or not, Fluttershy's gone through the same thing. She became a vampire pony because of a miscalculation from my spell." Twilight said with a blush. "But she's not a vampire pony anymore." Ty said, looking at Sky with concern. Suddenly, Sky started blinking a lot. Then, his eyes became yellow and slitted. "What just happened?" Sky asked as he stared at his friends with his new eyes. "Why are you guys rainbow?" Sky asked. Twilight gave him a confused look then walked over to her desk and brought back some goggles. She put them on and looked at Sky. "Sky, your seeing in thermal. In other words, your see the pony your looking at's body temperatures, but, since your a vampire, you see where they have the most blood in their body." Twilight said, taking off the goggles. 
Sky blinked a few times and stared at Ty. "Ty's blood is all in his heart." he said. Sky then looked at Twilight. "Whoa. Twilight. Your almost all red." Sky said, his mouth beginning to water. "You look really delicious Twilight..." Sky was stopped by Ty slapping him. "Snap out of it Sky!" he yelled. Sky shook his head. "Sorry. The urge is getting really hard to fight." he said. "I know buddy just try to hold on." Ty told him, putting a hoof on his back. Twilight blushed. "Well, that's because i'm an alicorn, and we usually have more blood flowing through our bodies than other ponies." she said. "Oh. Well Twilight, we were needing to know if you had a cure for...well for what Sky's going through." Ty asked, pulling Sky in to his side a little closer. "Well, Fluttershy got cured using a counter spell, but she was transformed using a spell. I'm not sure it would even work on Sky. It might just make it worse." Twilight said, giving them a sympathetic look. Ty looked upset. 
Sky couldn't stand to see his friend in this condition. "I'm alright buddy...I think...maybe its fading." Sky said, trying to cheer Ty up. It didn't work. "Sky, you, and me both know that its not going to fade out. We have to find a cure." he said. Suddenly, Twilight's face lit up. "I think i may know somepony who can help!" she said cheerfully. "Who?" asked Ty and Sky in unison. "Who's the pony that can help?" Jason asked. Twilight giggled. "Well, its more like some Zebra who can help." And with that, Twilight, Ty, Jason, and a covered Sky ran towards the Ever-free forest in search of Zecora.

> Sky The Vampire (Vampony)
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Sky, Ty, Jason, and Twilight ran through the quiet town. The moon was full and shining beautifully as their hooves hit the cobble streets. Soon, the group came to the edge of town, and to a sign covered in ivy. "The Ever-free forest." Twilight said, panting as she slowed to a walk. "Zecora's in there?" Jason asked. Twilight nodded as her horn started glowing purple. Ty did the same, his lighting up a lime green. The group walked into the forest, Twilight leading them to the zebra's home. After what felt like hours of walking, Sky started to groan. "Ouch..." he said, holding his chest with his hoof. Suddenly, Sky's coat started to change color. Starting at his back hooves, the ominous black color traveled up his hind legs, onto his torso, up his neck, and finally covered his face. Then, his mane became slick, and turned white, same with his tail. 
Ty stared at his friend in horror. "Sky? You ok buddy?" he asked cautiously. "I...i'm...fine..." Sky said weakly. Sky started to wobble, and suddenly fell over. Jason and Twilight gasped as Ty ran to help his friend. Sky leaned one way on Ty, and one way on Jason. Slowly, they continued walking. Soon, the group came to a clearing, where a light could be seen coming from a swamp tree. "There!" Twilight said, rushing towards the tree. "This is where Zecora lives." she told them. Twilight knocked on the door and waited. 
Soon, the door creaked open and a tall zebra with a tribal cutie mark was standing in the door way. "Hello Ms. Twilight, who are your friends? Is there some service that I can lend?" she said in rhyme. "Zecora. We need your help. Sky here is in trouble and we need-" Twilight was cut off by the zebra's hoof in her mouth. "This one's coat is black as night. It seems his teeth are ready to bite. With large bat wings and snow white hair, he will bring much despair." Zecora said, waving them inside. "So you want me to find a cure, to help this colt and make him pure?" she asked. Twilight nodded as Ty and Jason helped Sky onto a cushion. "It won't be easy, this is true. You must find me the bark that is silver and blue." the zebra told them. 
Twilight sent Jason and Ty out to search for the flower, while Zecora and Twilight gathered the rest of the ingredients. Zecora whispered something in Twilight's ear, which sent a pained look to her face. Twilight looked over at Sky, breathing weakly on the cushion he was laying. "Sorry Sky." she whispered, as she lifted a rope with her magic. Twilight walked over to Sky to tie him up, when suddenly Sky's eyes closed. His breathing quickened and his ears twitched. Twilight hurried to tie him in the rope, but he lunged at her, pinning Twilight to the ground. Twilight screamed at the top of her lungs, and Zecora leaped on top of Sky, knocking him off of the alicorn. Twilight recovered quickly and shot the rope at Sky with her magic, tying him up in a few moments. Panting, the alicorn and the zebra looked at Sky, thrashing against the ropes on the ground. "His attitude has made him dark. I hope your friends soon find the bark." Zecora said, walking back over to her cauldron. 
In the forest, Jason and Ty walked around the trees, looking for one that was silver and blue. "I hope we find it soon." Jason said, flying up slightly to get a better view. Ty didn't hear Jason. He was lost in his thoughts. I hope we find this bark. Sky needs it and we have to find it. We just have to. Ty was brought back by Jason pulling on his shoulders. "Ty! I found it!" Jason yelled. Jason showed him the tree, and Ty used his magic to pull off some of it's bark. "Cool. Now we gotta give it to Zecora." Ty yelled, and started running back in the direction of the house. 
Soon, the two colts got back to the cottage, panting and sputtering, trying to regain their breath. "I...think...*pant* we're...out of...shape...*pant*..." Jason said, trudging up to the front door. He opened it and saw Sky tied up on the couch, strangling against the ropes, Zecora mixing her cauldron, and Twilight sitting in a chair, her mane slightly tangled, with some hairs sticking out. Twilight saw the colts and her mood did a 180 degree turn. A big smile came to her face, and she ran over to hug them. "Thank Celestia your safe. Did you get the bark?" Twilight asked, squeezing them tightly. "Yea." Ty said, levitating the bark over to her. Twilight caught it with her magic and brought it over to Zecora. "Good you got the bark. Now the magic can really start." she chanted. Twilight slipped the shimmering bark into the cauldron filled with the bubbling green goop. 
Suddenly, there was a huge puff of pink smoke, as Zecora shooed it away with her hooves. The colts and Twilight were sent into a coughing fit, as Jason ran to open a window. Smoke poured out the windows and into the forest. After a few minutes, the smoke cleared out. Jason and Ty looked around, and heard Twilight scream. The colts spun around and saw the ropes Sky was tied up in had been ripped up and that he was gone. Twilight was sitting on her haunches next to the ropes, tears forming in her eyes. "I should have kept an eye on him. The smoke was his chance for escape, and he took it." she said, tears rolling down her face. "I'm sorry guys. I'm so sorry..." Twilight buried her face in her hooves. Jason and Ty walked over to her and sat beside her. "It's ok. It's ok. We'll find him. He may be a vampire, but he's still Sky. He couldn't have gotten very far." Ty told her. Twilight sniffled and wiped her eyes. "Ok." she said, standing up. 
The colts turned to Zecora, and saw her pinned to the ground by Sky, him snarling at her, saliva dripping off his fangs, her hooves locked straight in an attempt to keep him off of her. Twilight gasped and ran to the zebra, using her magic to pry Sky off of her. Ty levitated the ropes back onto Sky, sending him into a snarling fit. "Here." Ty said, his horn glowing brighter. Suddenly, a chain appeared out of nowhere, wrapping itself around Sky's body. "For extra measure." Ty said. Zecora stood up, with the help of Twilight. "Are you ok Zecora?" Twilight asked. "I am fine my pony friend. But this vampire curse needs to come to an end." she said in rhyme. the group nodded and Zecora walked back over to her cauldron. "This young colt, cursed with the vampire's bite, let him bathe in this, and he'll be alright." she said. 
Twilight and Ty's horns lit up, and Sky hovered in the air. They brought him over to the cauldron and set him in the mixture. Ty and Twilight's magic faded and Zecora pushed Sky's head under. The colts gasped and ran toward the cauldron, only to be stopped by Twilight. "He's fine. Zecora knows what she's doing." Twilight told them. The group watched as bubbles rose from inside the cauldron. The room was silent, as the ponies watched in agony. 
Suddenly, Sky's golden colored head popped up out of the liquid. Everypony cheered at the sight. Sky slowly came to his senses and looked around him. "Where am I?" he asked. "Sky your cured!" Ty said with glee. "Cured?" Sky asked. A smile slowly spread across his face. "Cured! No more vampire! Budder fur! Chestnut brown mane! Yes!" he shouted with glee. Sky's smiled quickly faded as he realized what he was in. "Ew. Gross. This stuff is sticky." he said. The colts bursted out laughing. Sky rolled his eyes. "Twi? Can you help me out here?" he asked her. Twilight smiled as her horn lit up.
Sky was teleported out of the goop, nice and clean. "Thanks." he said. "Well, now that that mess is over with...what do you say we go out for hay burgers?" Jason asked, trying to catch his breath. "That sounds good." Sky and Ty said in unison. The pair bursted out laughing and followed Jason out the door. Sky ran back in two seconds later. "Thanks by the way. I don't remember all of what happened after we got in the forest, but whatever you did worked. Thank you as well Zecora." he said. And with that, Sky and Twilight ran to catch up with the speeding colts, eager to get back to Ponyville.

> Easter! Part 1
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Sky woke up in the bed, snuggled up in his beloved budder covers. Sunlight streamed in through his window, filling the room with a golden light. He pulled the covers over his head, and tried to escape back into his dreams. However, the sun was relentless. Sky moaned and threw off his covers, shivering at the sudden coolness. He pulled on his fuzzy budder slippers and yawned. He then walked over to his calendar to check the date.
Sky rubbed his eyes then scanned the calendar for the correct number. "Lets see here..." he said as he ran a hoof on the waxy paper. "Aha!" he said triumphantly. "So it's sunday, but there's a message here. A smile grew on his face. "It's easter!" he said with glee. Sky rushed over to his dresser and pulled out a fresh grey shirt and slipped it over his shoulders. He grabbed some budder armor from the closet and pulled on his shades. Sky was about to step out his bedroom door when he realized something. He looked down at his hooves and saw he was still in his slippers. His face grew red, and tossed them near his bed. Sky then opened the door, letting more sunlight fill his room. 
Sky flew down the stairs and saw his friends all busy getting ready. Jason and Husky were cooking pancakes, Weedpony and Blue Pony were counting eggs to hide, Ty was hanging streamers, and Bajan was out with Fluffy getting a cake. Sky loved Easter. The candy, the confetti, and the annual Team Crafted Hunt. 
Every year Team Crafted, or in this case Team PonyCraft would have a massive egg hunt, but not the normal kind. Some eggs were good, filled with chocolate or snacks, while others were not so good, filled with rotten milk or disguised as a stink bomb. Whoever found the Budder egg won the hunt, and each pony was grouped by pairs. Every pony got eight trick eggs, where they could hide them or use them. If you got hit or found a trick egg and didn't get rid of it, you were out of the game. The pony who found the budder egg won a grand prize. If nopony found the budder egg before sunset, everypony was a loser. Sky won most of the time.
It was Sky's job to hide the Budder egg in a secret place. He could hunt for eggs, but not the budder one. If he told anypony where it was, he got stink-bombed. Sky flew into the kitchen to see Jason and Husky. "Hey guys." he said, watching Husky flip pancakes with his magic, while Jason made batter. "Hey Sky." They said in unison. Sky could tell they were busy, so he left them to work. Sky landed on the wooden floor with a thud and went to get his prized egg. Inside the closet under the stairs, Sky pulled out a small metal box with golden trim. On the lid was a little golden egg engraved on it. Sky pulled a key out of his pocket and unlocked the box. Inside the box was a golden egg, about the size of an apple, sitting in shining white silk. Sky sighed with pride at his marvelous possession.
Sky pulled the egg out with some difficulty, part of the reason being he had hooves, the other being the egg was solid gold. And it was heavy. Once he got the egg out, he closed the box and locked it with his key. Sky rolled the egg onto a handkerchief, and picked it up in his mouth. 
He trotted out of the closet with the egg in the cloth, beaming with pride. Sky set the egg on the table, almost every colt stopping what they were doing to get a glimpse of it. Sky couldn't help but laugh at their antics. Sky unrolled the egg slightly, hearing murmurs and gasps as he did. Sky quickly rolled it back up and grabbed it with his mouth. "Get back to work guys." he told the colts, getting grumbles in return. Sky chuckled and carried the egg up the stairs, being careful not to drop it. 
Once back in his room, Sky tossed the egg on his bed and went in his closet to grab his saddle bags. He strapped them to his sides and trotted back to his bed. Sky scooped up the egg and placed his slowly in his bag, which was filled with straw. "Perfect." he said, closing the flaps. Sky walked down the stairs to find that almost everypony was finished with their job, and were seated around the breakfast table, with some on the couch, munching on bunny shaped pancakes. Sky walked over to his budder colored seat at the end of the table, where a steaming plate of pancakes, topped with a perfect pad of butter, and drizzled in sweet sticky syrup, which made his mouth water.Sky picked up his fork with his hooves, and shoveled in pancakes. each piece was perfectly cooked, with not too mush and not too little syrup on them. 
In only a few minutes, Sky had finished his entire stack, and let out a satisfying burp. Jason and Husky bursted out laughing, while others tried to top him. Ty was at the other end of the table, a smirk on his face. Sky knew what he wanted, without him having to say a word. "So that's how you wanna play it?" he said aloud, still looking at a smug Ty. "Your. On." he said as he took a big drink of milk. Sky swallowed the liquid, and wiped the mustache from his lips. He the table was silent, watching every moment that went on. Sky felt a gurgle in the back of his throat, slowly rising. He felt it build up until he let it loose. Sky let out a loud burp, making everypony's drinks ripple. "Beat that!" he yelled, pointing at Ty. Ty stood up, and took a long swig of milk. "Ok. I will." he said smugly as he wiped his mouth. The colts waited in silence until suddenly Ty let out such a loud burp, Sky had to cover his ears.
Once Ty was finished, the entire table started clapping their hooves. Both Sky and Ty bursted out laughing, thinking of how serious they took the burp battle. "Good match Ty." Sky told him, as they carried their plates to the kitchen. They slipped the plates into the sink and went to finish their work. Sky opened the front door and stepped outside to the warm spring air. It felt like Sky was in a fantasy. Which, he kinda was. The sun was shining, the birds chirping, and everypony was getting ready for the celebration. Sky flew around the town, looking for the perfect spot to hide the egg. Sky could hide it anywhere within the town, because everypony would have a pegasus on their team. Sky spotted the perfect spot at the school house. Sky pulled the egg out of his saddle bag and placed it in the soft hay inside the bell tower. Sky looked at it proudly and made sure nopony was watching him. Sky figured nopony saw him, so he flew off back towards the house to get ready for the event.

To Be Continued! :)
> Easter Part 2
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Sky opened the front door to the house and saw that everypony was finished decorating. Sky looked around to make sure everything was in order, when he realized there was nopony around. "Where is everypony?" Sky asked himself. He trotted up the stairs to check if his friends were getting ready. Sky knocked on some doors, but got no answer. "What the heck?" he asked. Sky walked back downstairs and into the kitchen. "Husky? you in here?" Sky called. No answer. Sky ran into the living room to find that the lights were off. "Where's that dumb switch?" Sky asked, fumbling around in the dark. He finally found the switch and flicked it on, filling the room with light. 
Suddenly, the colts sprang up and out of various hiding places, all shouting in unison, "Happy Easter!" Sky scratched his head. "What were you guys doing in here?" he asked. Ty stepped up with a smile on his face. "We were just having a little fun." he said. Sky rolled his eyes and smiled. "Ok, ok. But really guys, surprise party on Easter?" he said. "Anyways, who's ready to get this hunt started?" Sky shouted to the group. 
The colts cheered and Sky led them to the dining room. Luckily, Ty had set out a top hat. "Ok guys. You know how this works. Everypony has their name in the hat. I'll draw two names at a time, and the names will become a pair. If you are not paired with a pegasus or unicorn, we will make adjustments. Everypony good?" he asked. The colts muttered in agreement. "Ok." Sky said, reaching a hoof in the hat. 
"First pair is...Jason and Husky!" Sky said, as the colts walked up to him. Sky handed them two baskets, along with two jackets. "Here are your uniforms. Team Blue!" Sky told them. The pair thanked him and walked back to the crowd. Sky pulled two more names out. "Ok the next team is...me and Ty." he said, handing a basket to Ty. Ty slipped on a golden colored jacket, as did Sky. "Budder team!" sky said, pulling out the next group.
After about ten minutes, everyone was paired up. "OK everypony, lets go over the groups. "Team blue: Jason and Husky." Sky said, looking for the colts. he spotted them, and Ty checked them off the list. "Next, Team Red: Bajan and Fluffy." the pair smiled and Ty checked them off. "Next, Team green: WeedPony and BluePony!" The pair hoof-bumped as Sky read off the next team. "Team budder: me and Ty, and the final team, Team Silver: Bashur and Jordan." Sky checked to make sure everypony was paired up. "Ok. Looks good. Meet out front and we can begin!" Sky said, grabbing his basket and running outside. 
Once all the groups were outside, Ty pulled out a racing gun. "Ready...set...Go!" he yelled, pulling the trigger with his magic. There was a loud pop, and the teams raced down the road. Sky and Ty trotted behind them, chatting with one another. "Spring here is beautiful." Ty said, looking at the occasional blossoming tree, followed by a colorful flower bush. "Yeah." Sky said, looking around at the busy town. "Well, you wanna find some eggs?" Sky asked, slowing to a stop. "Wouldn't that be cheating?" Ty asked. "Nah, we just don't look for the budder egg. We can find the others." he replied. So, they started searching, Sky going high, Ty going low. 
After about ten minutes of searching, they had found seventeen eggs between them. "Cool." Sky said, shaking an egg. The egg started to beep, and Sky's instincts took over. He jump kicked the egg into the air, where it exploded in a cloud of green gas. "That was close." Ty said, opening a blue egg. Inside it was some chocolate, which Ty ate happily. "Yeah." Sky said, picking up his basket. "Lets keep looking. We still have to take out the other teams." Sky whispered in Ty's ear, them flew up into the clouds. Ty's horn started glow, then he started to fade. "Invisibility is a go." he said, picking up his basket, which turned invisible when he touched it. Sky pulled his shades onto his eyes, and saw Ty run off in the direction of the Town Hall. 
Sky poked his head through a cumulus cloud, which was really good for camouflage. He peered through the clouds, looking for a target. Sky spotted Jordan and Husky, running through the town, trying to be like ninjas. Sky couldn't help but snicker at their antics, watching them roll around on the ground, trying to squeeze into dark spots, and trying to be stealthy. Sky flew his cloud slowly towards the pair, getting ready to strike. Luckily there was a slight breeze, so a moving cloud wouldn't be too suspicious. Sky neared closer to his friends, watching them carefully and cautiously. 
Sky pulled out a yellow egg, marked with a skull, and shook it up. He listened for a moment, and heard the beeping. Quickly, he threw the egg down, hearing it land with a thud. Sky watched his friends walk over to the egg, and before they realized what had happened, it was too late. The egg exploded in a cloud of yellow, blocking the colts from Sky's view.
When the dust cleared, the pair was painted a shiny yellow, the mark of Team Budder. Sky bursted out laughing, beating the cloud with his hoof, causing it to instantly disappear. "Oops." Sky said as he was exposed. Sky flew down to his friends, bewildered looks on their faces. "What was that?" Jason asked, blowing yellow dust out of his nose. "A new egg bomb i made. I replaced every team's stink bombs with color bombs, so we would know who got who. And, I got you! You'r out!" Sky said with glee, motioning for them to hand over their baskets. 
Jason and Husky sighed and emptied their baskets into Sky's. "Thank you." Sky said, flying back into the clouds. Jason and Husky couldn't help but chuckle at each other's appearance, and, since they were out, they decided to go get some hay burgers.
Back in the clouds, Sky flew around, looking for more targets to hit. When he found none, he decided to check up on his budder egg. Sky flew towards the school house, making sure nopony was following, and checked on the egg from a far. "Good. Nopony's found it yet." he said to himself. Sky flew off towards town hall, making sure Ty was still in the game. Sky looked on the ground, and saw a unicorn sneaking up on a green pony and a blue pegasus.








> Easter! Part 3
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Ty snuck around the colts, even though he was invisible. Using his magic, he levitated a yellow bomb out of his basket and shook it like Sky had told him to. Ty rolled the egg towards the colts, who turned when they heard the egg. They paused for a moment, staring at the colorful thing before BOOM! the egg exploded in a cloud of yellow. Ty scrambled to get away from them, because he would be able to be seen. 
Ty got away successfully, and was left there, panting and wheezing. Slowly, the cloud of yellow smoke died down, and what was left in its place were two sparkling yellow colts. Bajan and Fluffy moaned. "What was that?!" Fluffy asked, trying to shake the yellow dust off. "This is going to ruin my fur!!! Get it off! Get if off!" he said, running in circles, trying to use Bajan's shirt to get it off. However, Bajan's shirt was a bright yellow, so it did nothing. Ty bursted out laughing, causing his magic to fail and him to become visible. "BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" he laughed, scrambling on the ground, wheezing from laughing so hard. 
Ty soon composed himself, and walked over to the frustrated colts. "What...*cough* was that?" Bajan asked, choking on yellow dust. "That, my friends, was Sky's new egg weapon. Yea, so instead of stink bombs, Sky put these bad boys in each basket as ammo, so you could protect yourselves, as well as get other players. And you two, are out." Ty said with pride. Bajan groaned. He hated losing, and he hated having to give stuff up. Reluctantly, the pair emptied their baskets into Ty's, and he disappeared in a flash. "Thank you!" invisible Ty said, running away from the pair. 
Up in the air, Sky has watched everything. For a few moments, he thought his partner had been hit with his own bomb, but he breathed a sigh of relief watching Ty running off towards the park. Sky followed him, his basket now twice as full slowing him down. 
Sky eventually found Ty at the park, hiding in a Spiral-fruit bush they had cleared out. There was only one way inside the fort, as the outside was covered in spikes that make you itch. Sky and Ty had dug out a door, cleared out the inside, and went to the hospital four times to make the fort. Sky lifted up the stone that hid the entrance and climbed through the soft soil hole. He covered the rock back on the hole and climbed out into the fort. 
The fort was about six feet around and five feet high. Big enough for two ponies, considering they were only four foot three. Inside was a small wooden table, about the size of Scootaloo, an old mattress, a few buckets, some daggers laying on the floor, a dark lantern hanging from the top of the bush, and a budder sword sitting on a stool. Sky looked around, taking in the place. "It's been a long time since we've been here." Sky said, picking up the daggers. 
Ty said nothing. He was staring at something on the wall, but Sky could see what. "What you looking at buddy?" Sky asked as he walked over to his friend. Ty was staring at an old picture in a frame, with him, Ty, Husky, and Bajan standing there, trying to look cool. "We were only seven in this picture Adam." Ty finally spoke. 
Ty never called Sky Adam, unless he was thinking or serious. "Yea, but that was when we first came here bro. We were only seven." he said. That was the one thing he didn't include in his story about the first time he and Ty came to equestria. They had been stuck there for two years. 
Sky stared at the picture, taking it all in. "Yea. This picture is what helped us keep our sanity, remember?" Sky said with a chuckle. Ty chuckled as well, tearing his gaze away from the photo. "Sky, that's why I didn't want to come back. I was afraid we would get stuck here again." he said, his ears laying back on his head. "Pretty stupid of me huh. If we hadn't have come back, we never would have met Twilight or her friends, and we wouldn't have as much of a grasp on the world as we do now." he said. "But enough phycology crap. lets go find the eggs." he said, picking up his basket. Sky nodded and took one last look at the old photo. He then chased off after Ty.
Ty had gone invisible again, and this time made Sky invisible as well. Sky and Ty walked through town, searching for targets. "We have to be careful though." Sky whispered. "Jordan had the same kind of glasses as me, so he'll be able to spot us." He said, flying in the air a bit to get a better view. "Hmm...that's odd." he said. "What?" Ty asked, walking along. "There's nopony in sight." Sky replied, landing on the ground with a thud. Ty sighed and continued to walk, taking in the fresh air. 
Suddenly, the pair heard a loud boom, and a mushroom cloud of grey smoke. "Jordan." Ty said, racing towards the smoke. Sky shot into the clouds, the cloud's water vapor making him visible. He shot through the air, heading in the direction of the smoke. Sky looked down, and saw Husky, Jason, Bajan, and Fluffy in a pile, while Jordan and Bashur were laughing their flanks off. Sky stared at the pair, chuckling at the sight. Then, Sky heard a familiar beeping noise. 
BOOM! the egg bomb went off and Sky was sent into a blind smoke cloud. "I CAN'T SEE!!!" he yelled, rubbing his eyes. Sky lost his balance, and slipped off the cloud. He was sent spiraling downwards, not knowing he was falling. Sky had finally gotten the dust out of his eyes to see dirt, speeding towards him. Sky spread out his wings, but not in time. He hit the ground with a thud, causing his glasses to crack, his wings to wrap around him, and his vision to go black.

	Sky opened his eyes and saw faint blue light around of him. "What the heck..." Sky said, staring at the light blue. He sat up and rubbed his head, taking a look around him. Sky tried standing up, only to feel a sharp pain in his leg, and fall back onto his butt. "Ouch."  he said, holding his upper leg. Sky instantly noticed he had on his regular blue jeans, as well as his normal armor. He looked at his hooves, and they were hands. "What!?" Sky said, turning his hands over. 
He looked around him, seeing nothing but white. "Where am I..." Sky asked himself, making sure of where he was at. Sky slowly stood up, wobbling a little, not being used to his legs, and looked around. He stepped forward, trying to find a way out. Each step he took made his leg burn, but he had to find his way out. "How did I end up here from falling?" he asked himself, pulling out his amulet. Sky stopped dead in his tracks at what he saw. 
His amulet had a giant crack in it, going right through the middle. "Oh No." he said, turning it in his hand. Sky tapped the amulet, seeing if the portal would open. It started to spark and buzz, and a dark purple portal opened up. "Thank Celestia!" he said, looking inside it. Sky saw Equestria, with Ty running towards him. "Sky! Dude are you ok?!" Ty said, running towards the portal. Sky tried to jump into it to greet his friend, but as soon as he touched it, a wave of purple electricity shot from it, shocking him. "Ouch ouch ouch!!" he said, jumping up and down.
Ty stopped at the portal and stared at Sky. "Dude, what's wrong? can't you come in here..." Ty said as he reached for the portal. Sky screamed at him. "Don't touch it!" he yelled, making Ty jump. "Ok. but how do we get you out of there?" he asked, pondering for a moment. "By the way, you know your human." Ty told him, looking at Sky with curiosity. Sky rolled his eyes. "Yea, I know." he dead-panned. "Could magic get you out?" Ty asked, his horn starting to glow. "Worth a shot." Sky replied. 
Ty's horn started to glow, as he focused the magic on the portal. Sky crossed his fingers, something he hadn't been able to do in a while. Ty shot a beam of green magic at the portal, sending it through it, straight at Sky. Sky was thrown to the ground as the beam of energy shot him, absorbing into his skin. Sky felt his muscles burning, and his body started to ache. 
There was a flash of light, and Sky was a pegasus again. "Well that was unproductive." Sky said, standing up on all fours. "Wait! Maybe you can get through the portal now that your a pony." Ty suggested. Sky nodded and took a few steps back. He scraped his hoof against the non-existent floor, almost like a bull. Then, he charged.
Sky ran at the portal, full speed, his best friend waiting for him on the other side. Ty started cheering him on, as Sky ran faster. Sky closed his eyes as he made contact with the portal, and Poof! he was in Equestria. "I did it!" Sky cheered, look ing at Ty. Ty's eyes were as big as boulders. "S-S-Sky..." he stammered. Sky stopped cheering for a moment and trotted over to his friend. "What's wrong buddy?" he asked. Ty gulped. "Ty? What's wrong dude." Sky said, feeling the fear in Ty's eyes. 
Finally, Ty spoke. "Sky...your a ghost." Sky stared at the colt, not sure whether to believe him, or send him to a mental hospital with that crazy dog pony. Sky looked down at his hooves and saw that he was almost transparent. "What the..." Sky said as he looked at his body. Ty walked closer to him and ran his hoof through his chest. "Yea. A ghost." he said. "But i'm here, so maybe nopony will notice?" Sky asked hopefully. Ty shook his head. "Dude, they're definitely going to notice." he said. 
Sky sighed. Suddenly, he got an idea. "I got it!" he said. "I got an idea so brilliant, the likes of equestria has never seen!" he said triumphantly. "Whats the idea?" Ty asked hopefully. Sky gave him a bewildered look. "Two words my friend. Alicorn. Magic." Ty thought for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement. "Yeah, and if they can't help, you can always ask you know who." he said. Sky stopped walking. He turned around with a look of pure disgust on his face. "I will NOT be asking him for help." he said coldly. Ty realized his mistake and kept quiet. The pair walked in silence towards the library, their fastest source of alicorn magic.
Once Ty and Sky had gotten to the library, Sky tried knocking on the door, only to fall through it. He landed on the ground, half-way through the door. Sky stood up and shook off the dust, walking inside completely. Ty rolled his eyes and knocked on the door, opening it without waiting for an answer. "Twilight? You here?" Ty called. 
The pair heard hoof-steps upstairs, along with some pencils dropping and paper crumbling. a paper ball bounced down the stairs, and the colts watched it slowly roll to their hooves. "What the-" Sky asked as he started up the stairs, only to have a hoof go through his chest. "Wait Sky, we don't know how Twilight will react to you being a ghost. Let me go upstairs and break it to her." Ty said, motioning for him to come down. 
Reluctantly, Sky walked down the staircase, grumbling to himself. "Good ghost." Ty joked. Sky shot him a sour look, and sat on his haunches on the wooden floor, crossing his arms over his chest. Ty rolled his eyes and continued up the stairs. "Twi? You here?" he asked. Once Ty had reached the top of the stairs, he called out again. "Twilight? Anypony home?" he called. Ty sighed and headed for the stairs when he was caught in a magical field. A purple magical field. 
"Twilight?" Ty asked, trying to turn in mid-air. Twilight came out of the shadows, bags under her eyes, her mane in a tangled mess. "Yes Ty..." She said sleepily. The magical field started to fade, then Ty fell to the floor with a thud. Rubbing his rump, Ty stood up and walked over to Twilight. "Twi? You ok?" he asked. Twilight nodded and sat down at her desk. She ran her hooves through her mane, smoothing it out a bit. "I've just been really busy lately and haven't gotten much sleep." she replied. 
Ty gave her an apologetic look and continued. "Well, um...Twilight, we were hoping that you could...maybe...um..." Ty struggled to get the words out. He didn't want to give her more to worry about, seeing how sleepy she already was. "Spit it out Ty." she said. Immediately she put her hoof over her mouth. "Oh i'm sorry, i didn't mean to be rude. I just..." Ty chuckled. "It's fine. I'd be the same way if i'd gotten no sleep." He replied. Twilight giggled. "Ok, so well, i guess you just need to come downstairs to really understand." Ty finally said. 
Twilight followed Ty down the stairs, leading them to a transparent Sky, sitting with his hooves crossed and sitting on his haunches, pouting. Sky hear the clicking of hooves down the stairs, and his ears swiveled around towards them. He got up and turned around, seeing the shocked look on Twilight's face. "Twilight?..." Sky asked slowly. 
The alicorn's eye twitched, and her mouth hung open. "You-you-you-your a-" Twilight stuttered. Ty sighed. "Twilight, we have a problem. Sky is stuck in this between dimension thing and this is the only way he's able to be in Equestria. So, we were hoping that you could use your alicorn magic to help us." Ty told her. Twilight shook her head, bringing her back to Equus. "I'm good. Ok so a between dimension sort of thing you say?" she asked. Ty and Sky nodded. "Let me check in some of my books." she said, her horn starting to glow.
Suddenly, tons of books flew off the shelves, surrounded in a purple aura, floating across Twilight's view. "No no no no no..." She said quietly, staring at the cover of each book that floated by. Ty and Sky exchanged nervous glances. "Twi? you need-" Ty was interrupted by Twilight. "A-ha! Found It!" she said triumphantly. "What did you find?" Sky asked. Twilight showed them the cover. "Magical Mysteries and Celestial Spells." she read. "So like a magic book?" Sky asked. "...Yea. A magic book." Twilight deadpanned. "Anyways, this should hold the answer to your problem." She said, flipping the page with her magic. "Here we go. Chapter 2. The Dream Void." Twilight cleared her throat then read. 
"In the land of Equus, all ponies live in harmony. Unicorns, Pegasi, and earth ponies work to make their home grand. The king, Helios, and the queen, Themis, are the alicorn rulers of this peaceful society. Helios rules the day and gives sunlight for the crops to grow, while Themis rules the night, and keeps the kingdom in order. Sometimes, Queen Themis would get tired of her nightly rituals, tending to her sleeping subjects, warding off demons that try to sneak into their dreams, and keeping order during the night. So, one night when all was calm and quiet, Queen Themis created a new realm. She could travel to this realm whenever she pleased, and even travel to other dimensions using it. The queen called this new realm, The Dream Void, because a pony would occasionally come there by accident while fleeing from a nightmare. Queen Themis then granted her royal advisor, Flintlock, the ability to travel to and from the Dream void freely, and all of their descendants would be able to as well. However, there are no known descendants of Flintlock." 
Twilight finished reading and set the book down on the table."Wow. So is Themis the alicorn we talked to?" Ty asked. Twilight shook her head. "No, Themis and Helios ruled Equus before Equestria was formed. They are Celestia and Luna's grandparents." she told them. "So what does that tell us about how to get me out of here?" Sky asked. "Well, from the looks of it, your stuck in the Dream Void. You said that you can't get out, but things can come in right?" she asked. "Well, not necessarily." Ty replied. "What do you mean?" Twilight asked. "Well, only magic can pass through." Ty told her. Twilight nodded in understanding. "I see. Let me try something." she said. "Sky, make the portal appear please." she said, her horn starting to glow slightly. "Ok..." Sky said, taping his cracked amulet. 
Suddenly, a dark purple portal appeared out of nowhere, and Sky was sucked in. Sky sighed and put his hooves on the portal, stopped by an invisible barrier. "Great..." Sky said, obviously annoyed. Twilight rolled her eyes as her horn glowed brighter. "Stand back Sky." she warned. Sky stepped to the side as she sent a beam of purple energy into the portal. The magic was sent bouncing off the "walls" of the space, until it finally struck Sky. Sky wailed in pain, seeing how alicorn magic was mush stronger than unicorn magic. Sky fell to the ground, smoke coming from his body. Ty yelled and ran for the portal, his chest glowing. 
Ty bursted through the barrier, and began to change form. His tail disappeared, as did his mane. They were replaced by clothing and short hair. His hooves turned to feet and hands, and he ran on two legs. Ty had barely noticed he had turned human while running to Sky's aid. "Sky! Sky! Speak to me bro!...please...speak to me..." Ty said, lying his head on Sky's furry chest. 
The smoke started to fade, but Sky wasn't moving. Ty shook his friend, trying to get him to wake up. Nothing. "...Adam..." Ty said, tears forming in his eyes. "...Adam please don't leave me...I couldn't be here without you...please Adam...please wake up!" Ty yelled, tears streaming down his face, wetting Sky's coat. Ty laid his head on Sky's chest, felling his warm, soft golden fur against his cheeks. "Sky...please..." he whispered. "Come...back..."

> A Greater Evil
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Ty lied on his friend, his sobbing wetting Sky's fur and matting it to his body. Ty lifted his head up and looked at Sky. "Buddy..." he said sadly. By now, Twilight had gathered the rest of Team Ponycraft, and they were standing at the portal. With tears in their eyes, they watched Ty morn over his best friend. 
Suddenly, Ty sprang up. "Twilight! Come here!" he said, looking at the shocked mare. Twilight pushed through the portal, phasing through it. She was an alicorn after all. Ty sighed. "Twilight, i need you to heal him. You did it when angel bunny was sick, so can you heal his wounds now?" Ty asked hopefully. Twilight didn't meet his eyes. "..Ty...I can't..." she said quietly. 
Tears started to gather in Ty's eyes again. He felt a mixture of anger at Twilight, and sadness for his friend. "Why not?!" he yelled. Twilight gave him an apologetic look. "Ty..." she said quietly. She put her hoof on his shoulder. Ty couldn't take it. He moved his shoulder out of her reach. "Ty...I..." Twilight didn't finish. She turned to leave, but looked at the saddened colt one last time.
Then, a brilliant idea flooded to her mind. "I got it!" she said, running out of the portal. Ty looked up at the group gathered at the portal. "I'm sorry guys..." Ty said. He looked back at Sky, his golden fur shining on his body. Suddenly, the portal started to fade, the group yelling at Ty to keep it open. "I don't know how!" He yelled. Then, it faded completely. Ty was left standing next to Sky, with no way out. Ty called out for anypony who might be able to hear him. "Anypony? Please? I need someone here with me." Ty pleaded. 
The void suddenly went dark, and Ty heard a dark voice. "You wish to bring my son back?" it said. Ty knew that voice. "Herobrine." Ty said with disgust. Herobrine laughed. "Yes. How...smart." he said slyly. "If he's your son, don't you want him back?!" Ty yelled, overcome with emotion.
Herobrine appeared out of the void. His eyes glowed a mysterious white light. "I do not care for this thing. He disobeyed me, therefore I do not care what happens to him." Herobrine snarled. Ty wanted to punch Herobrine where it hurt, but he knew better. Ty sighed. "Then leave." he said. Herobrine didn't expect this. "W-what?" he asked. Herobrine quickly regained his composure.  "Fine. I shall take my leave, but not before a warning. Someone you know is not what they seem. They are wicked and evil, and cannot be trusted. He is coming, using them as pawns, sneaking them into your peaceful pony society, slowly making his move. Be warned, you have a great evil to face. You Must Be Ready. Good-bye dream walker." he said, before disappearing into thin air. "What?" Ty asked, staring at the place Herobrine had been. 
Suddenly, Ty heard hoof-steps, and they were getting louder. Ty sprang into action, ready to defend his friend from further harm. It turns out that the hoof-steps were actually Twilight's, as well as Luna's. Ty looked at them in surprise. "What are you guys doing here?" he asked. Twilight smiled. "I went to get help." she replied. Luna smiled as she walked closer to the pair. "Greetings young one. I am here to help." Luna said in a calming voice. Luna motioned for him to step away from Sky, and he did as instructed. Luna's horn started to glow, and a light indigo aura of magic enveloped Sky. Twilight lit up her horn, increasing the magic. "Ready Ty?" Twilight asked, Ty nodding slowly. Twilight and Luna shot their magic towards Sky, aiming right at his chest.
The amulet around Sky's neck absorbed the blast, making it glow a bright purple light. Slowly, the cracked started to mend itself, until the crack had finally disappeared. The princesses shut off their magic, and Ty freaked. Sweating and nervous, he sat on the invisible floor. "...That was...bright..." he said, rubbing his eyes. "I have never seen that much magic running through a mare before." he said, standing up. Ty walked over to Sky, hoping to find a sign of life. "Sky?..." Ty asked slowly. He shook Sky slightly, trying to get him to open his eyes. There was a moment of silence while Ty tried repeatedly to wake Sky up. "...Sky?..." Ty asked softly. 
Then, to everypony's surprise, Sky moaned. He struggled to move, but remained on the floor. "Sky?...Sky!" Ty said with joy. "Where...where am I?" he asked, opening his eyes slowly. Ty smiled at his friend, relieved that he was ok. "Your in the dream void Sky. You got hit with a blast of magic...I thought...I thought I'd lost you..." Ty told him, helping him sit up. 
Sky rubbed his head with his hoof, his body aching all over. "That magic really did a number on me." he said. Ty chuckled. Sky looked at his friend and had to do a double take. "What the-" Sky asked as he gave Ty a confused look. "What?" Ty asked, seeing Sky's confusion. Sky sat there for a moment, his mouth wide open before he found the words. "Dude. Your inside the dream void. And Your human!" Ty hadn't even realized he had turned human when he entered the portal, he was too worried about Sky. "I guess I am." he said cooly. 
Sky rolled his eyes. "What?" Ty asked. "Go ahead." Sky replied. couldn't help himself, and Sky saw right through his act anyways. Ty jumped up and did a cartwheel, flexed his fingers and popped his back. Luna cleared her throat. "Oh yeah." Ty said, his face turning red. He sat back down next to Sky, who was now sitting up on his haunches. "Sorry about that." Ty said. Luna smiled. "It is fine. We would be rejoicing too if we had been turned into a creature for some time, then changed back to normal.....oh." Luna blushed and rubbed the back of her head with her hoof. Ty had almost forgotten that Luna was once Nightmare Moon. 
"Anyways..." Twilight interrupted. "We still need to figure out how to get you guys out of here. Ty can easily just walk out, seeing how he's obviously the dream walker, but I don't know about-" Ty put his hand over Twilight's muzzle. "Whoa whoa whoa. Dream walker?" Ty asked. Twilight sighed and removed Ty's hand with her magic. "Yea. Dream walker. Remember the story I told you guys about Queen Themis creating the Dream void and only a descendent of Flintlock and Luna can pass freely through here?" Twilight asked, tapping her hoof. 
Ty and Sky exchanged nervous glances. "Yes?" they said in unison. Twilight smiled and gave them a "what am I going to do with you" look. Sky put his hoof up to his chin, and started thinking. "Aha!" he said, his eyes lighting up. "My amulet is fixed now, so that's always worth a shot." he said cheerfully. Sky tapped the amulet and a dark purple portal appeared. "Yes!" he said, gazing into it to see colorful talking ponies.
"Well that fixes that." Ty said. "But Sky, i need to talk to you for a moment. Alone." he said, gesturing for the girls to leave. Thankfully they took the hint and left, leaving the colts alone in the vast space. "Sky, something happened while you were knocked out." Ty said, rubbing his head. "What?" Sky asked, looking up at him. "Well, it's concerning your father." Ty replied. Sky snarled. "...And what did he have to say..." Sky asked, gritting his teeth.
"Well, it was something about someone we know being evil and how some guy was using ponies in ponyville as pawns, and that we needed to be ready." Ty replied, thinking if he remembered everything. He looked at Sky, who had a look of pure fear on his face. "Sky? What's wrong..." Ty asked. Sky swallowed and eventually spoke. "Herobrine may be a crappy dad by all means, but he is always truthful in his warnings. We need to be careful." he replied, standing up. 
Sky shook himself out of his fear and smiled slightly. "Let's not worry about this now. We have an Easter party to enjoy." Sky tapped his amulet, and a dark purple portal appeared, showing the iconic colorful landscape full of magical talking horses that they had come to love. The friends stepped through, Ty transforming into a colt again, and smiled at the beautiful day in Ponyville.

	"YOU ARE A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A CHANGELING!" the voice yelled. A young colt cowered in fear at the loud voice. 'DON'T GIVE ME THAT PETY FEAR ACT. I HATE THE LOOK OF PONIES. CHANGE FORM BEFORE I SEND YOU TO THE DEPTHS OF TARTARUS!!!" It screamed. 
The young colt did as told, changing form, his skin turning leathery and black, his wings changing to bug-like wings, a horn with missing spaces appearing on his head, his eyes changed from brown to blue bug eyes. His mane and tail disappeared, replaced with short, webbed-like mane and tail. Fangs replaced his flat teeth. "BETTER." the voice echoed through the chamber, making the changeling's ears rattle. "Would you like me to bring you the prisoner..." the changeling asked in a hissing voice. "YES. IF HE HAS NOT AWOKEN, WAKE HIM UP." the voice commanded. 
The changeling did as told, running into the darkness, only to appear a few minutes later with a colt, gaged and tied in ropes, floating in his magical aura. The changeling dropped the colt on his hind-quarters, causing him to make muffled sounds. "Shut up." the changeling told the colt. "REMOVE THE GAG FROM HIS MUZZLE." the voice yelled.  The changeling followed instructions, removing the gag from the colts mouth. 
As soon as the colt's mouth was uncovered, he tok his chance and spit into the changeling's eye, causing it to hiss in anger. "Why you little..." the changeling growled. "ENOUGH." the voice yelled. "Sorry master..." the changeling said, his ears splayed back on his head. The colt rolled his eyes. "Who are you?" he asked. The voice laughed. "WHO AM I?" he asked sarcastically. "I AM THE EMPEROR OF DARKNESS. THE KING OF EVIL. YOUR. WORST. NIGHTMARE." the voice cackled with devilish delight. The colt sneered and rolled his eyes again. "Whatever." he replied. "Sky won't let you get away with this." he said. "SKY? THAT INCOMPETENT FOOL DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING! HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN REPLACED." the voice yelled. 
As it got louder, the changeling flipped a switch, and more light flooded into the room. Sitting in the wooden chair, tied up in thick ropes, was Husky. "I swear to Celestia I'll get you for this!" he yelled, trying to use his magic to loosen the ropes. The voice cackled. "DON'T BOTHER. YOUR MAGIC IS SEDUCED BY THE SHOT MY ASSISTANT GAVE YOU WHILE YOU WERE KNOCKED OUT. THAT WILL STOP YOUR MAGIC FOR THREE DAYS ON ONE DOSE." it yelled. Husky cursed to himself, being so stupid. This had been all his fault. He was too trusting of people and ponies. Husky thought back to the day it happened. 
He and Jason were sneaking around town, looking for the other groups. They had been trying to hide in the shadows, like ninjas. Out of nowhere, an egg had fallen to the ground, and it was making a loud beeping sound. Jason and him walked over to it and it exploded in a cloud of yellow smoke and dust. 
He couldn't see anything, but he felt something go over hi muzzle. He got dizzy really quickly, then everything went black. When he woke up, Husky was in a dark cave with a gag over his mouth, and he was tied to an old wooden chair. His arm ached, now he knew it was from the shot, and he had no idea where he was. A changeling had come in and pinked him up in it's magic, and took him into a larger cave room. Husky shook his head, bringing himself back to what was going on.
The voice laughed again. "GO MY CHANGELING. BACK TO PONYVILLE AND GATHER INFORMATION ON THE SON OF HEROBRINE. BRING YOUR KIN AS WELL." it boomed. "What do you want with Sky!?" Husky yelled. The changeling laughed, changing form. Husky stared at the colt in horror. He had morphed into a perfect copy of Husky. "Sicko." Husky remarked. The changeling hissed then ran into the darkness. Husky sighed. "Be Careful Sky." he whispered. 
Back in Ponyville, Sky and the gang were enjoying a meal at BurgerColt. "This..is really..good." Ty said between bites. Sky nodded in agreement and shoved some fries in his mouth. Jason swallowed his food and looked around. "Hey...had anypony seen Husky or Jordan lately?" he asked. The colts shook their heads. "We thought they were with you." Sky said, licking his hooves. "Well, we were on our way here, but Husky said he forgot something at the house and ran back there. And Jordan said he wanted to see PON-3 again. They've been gone for a long time now though." Jason told them. Sky and Ty started to get uneasy. 
They exchanged nervous glances and Sky started to get antsy. The rest of the group seemed to notice, and stopped eating their meal. "What are you two hiding?" Bajan asked, taking a sip of his drink. Sky started to sweat. He couldn't lie to his friends, besides, he sucked at lying. Ty coughed and pounded his chest with his hoof. "Ahem. Nothing. We um...we're just worried about them, that's all." Ty plastered on a fake smile. A few colts rolled their eyes and went back to eating, but some weren't convinced. "Really. Worried about them. That's all?" Bajan asked mockingly. Ty nodded, his fake smile still on his face. 
Jason stood up. Fluffy and Bajan followed. "Don't make me do this." he said, cupping his hooves around his muzzle. "You. Wouldn't." Ty whispered. Jason smiled. "AHEM. EVERYPONY MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?" Jason yelled. "THIS PONY RIGHT HERE LOVES-" Ty acted quick and jumped on Jason, shoving his hoof into his mouth. "Shut up!" he said, standing up. Jason snickered. "Then tell us what's going on." he replied. Sky stood up and guided the trio behind him, leaving the rest of the group to finish their meal. Sky sighed as they walked. "We'll tell you, but you have to follow me first." Sky said, as he continued to walk. The colts nodded and walked in silence, the only sounds coming from the clicking of their hooves on the road. 
Soon the group came to the park, where Sky stopped and sat on a stone bench. "Gather around my little colts." He said, getting chuckles from the group. "Actually, we need to go to a more secure place." Sky said, standing up. Ty gasped and ran over to Sky. "The place?" Ty asked half-heartedly. Sky nodded and walked over to the spiral fruit bush. He pushed over the stone and scrambled into the hole. The colts followed behind, Ty coming in last. Ty covered the hole and picked up a lantern off the ground. He lit it with his magic, and set it on the small table. Sky cleared his throat and told the group what had happened.
After almost an hour of story-telling, the colts sat on their haunches, thinking. "So, you guys think that one of our friends is actually evil?" Fluffy asked. Bajan and Jason looked at Ty. "Not me! Enderlox is gone. I'm completely scott-free." he said, shaking his head. "That's why we freaked out about Husky and Jordan. We have no clue who could be evil or not." Sky replied. The colts nodded, each still thinking.
Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream filled the air. "Come on! We better go check this out!" Sky said, grabbing a dagger off the table and crawling through the hole. Once outside, Sky couldn't believe his eyes. The clouds in the air were gray. Lightning cracked and ponies were running rampant through the town, looks of terror in their faces. 
Sky ran towards the ponies, looking for answers. "What's wrong?!" he asked as he stopped a young tan mare with curly pink and purple mane and tail. "Ch-Ch-Ch-CHANGELINGS!!!!!!!!" she screamed, running away from Sky. Sky rubbed his ear, it ringing from the mare's scream. He gripped his dagger in his mouth, looking around for the disgusting bug-ponies. 
He was accompanied by Ty and Bajan, as well as Jordan and Fluffy. Sky took a deep breath. "Ok. Jordan and Fluffy, go make sure everypony's alright on the east side of town. Ty and Bajan, go check the west. I'll make sure there's no casualties downtown." Sky commanded, running towards town hall. The colts looked at each other, grinning. "Ok Sky..." Ty said with a grin. The colts smiled an devilish grin, showing their fangs. 
At the trunk of an apple tree nearby, the real colts stared at the scene in horror. They struggled against the ropes, but with no luck. Ty finally managed to get his gag off, but Sky was gone. "This is bad guys. REALLY bad." he said. The colts nodded in agreement.

Ty struggled against the ropes. "We have to get out of here!" he said, trying to chew them off. The colts gave him looks of sorrow. "Guys. We're not giving up! Sky's in trouble and we have to help him!" he said, the anger in his voice rising. "Hey maybe if I stretch my wings out, they can bust the ropes!" Jason said, flexing his wings. 
Jason pushed his wings out, causing the ropes to creak and grow. "Almost...there..." Jason said as he forced open his wings with all his might. Suddenly, the ropes snapped, leaving an exhausted Jason panting on the ground. "...I...did it..." Jason said weakly. He stood up and grabbed a dagger off the ground, using it to cut off the ropes around his friends. 
"There." He said proudly. Ty smiled and looked around. "Ok, so Sky said he was going to check the downtown area, so I'll go there, you guys go make sure those changelings pay for what they did, and don't let them hurt anypony. Got it?" The colts nodded in agreement, then ran off to do their job. 
Ty ran down the cobble street, looking around him for Sky. "Sky where are you..." he whispered, galloping as fast as he could. 

Sky ran through the streets, clenching his dagger in his mouth. He scanned the area around him, searching for the hideous insect ponies. "Where are you..." he thought. Just then, Sky heard a scream. He whipped his head around in the direction of the scream, looking for it's source. The noise had come from a gingerbread house-looking building. "Sugar-cube Corners." Sky said in horror. He leapt into action, his hooves pounding against the smooth cobble, clicking as he ran. 
Sky burst through the bright pink doors, a small bell chiming as he looked around. "Hello? Anypony here?" Sky called. No answer. Thoughts rushed through his head. "I'm going to make those dumb bugs pay for disturbing Ponyville..." Sky brought himself back to reality. He called out again. Nopony answered. 
Sky ran towards the stairs, his anger starting to rise. He galloped up the stairs, calling out as he ran. "Hello? Anypony up here?" Sky finally reached the top of the staircase. "H-hello?" he called, his courage starting to waver. Sky reminded himself of what he'd do the the bug ponies, and anger took the place of the fear. Sky walked slowly around, being careful not to startle anypony if they were up here. "Hello?" he asked. No answer. Sky sighed and headed for the stairs. 
Suddenly, Sky felt a sharp pain in his shoulder blade. "What the-" He looked at his shoulder, and poking out of his golden fur was a little dart, complete with small red feathers. "Sleeping dart?" Sky asked himself as he pulled out the dart. Pain flooded his side, causing him to stagger. Sky spun around, trying to see who had shot him. 
Sky heard a cackling sound, and a changeling emerged out of the shadows. "Help me!" the changeling called in a girlish voice. Sky snarled, and the bug pony snickered. Sky started to get dizzy, and his vision started to fail him. "Night-night son of Herobrine..." the changeling cackled. Then, everything went black.

Ty was out of breath. He slowed to a walk, trying to get air back into his lungs. "I...hate...running..." he panted. Then, Ty's ear swiveled around, and he heard a soft sound. Ty whipped around, and galloped in the direction of the noise. Soon, He came upon a small cottage, with several windows broken. Ty opened the door slowly, making it creak. "Shhh." he told the door. Ty crept around, being careful not to make a sound. 
Suddenly, a crash came from the other room. Ty ran to the room, his horn lighting up. He burst through the doorway to find a changeling on top of a magenta mare with a light and dark pink mane and tail, the mare trying to scream for help. 
The changeling hissed at the mare and sunk his fangs into her flesh, causing her to cry out in agony. The changeling flew off of her and stared. Slowly the mare's eyes changed from an ivy green to a piercing light blue, her pupils disappearing and foam forming at her mouth. Ty shuddered. Her body began to change, and Ty heard the sickening sound of bones cracking as her spine re-aligned itself. Wing bones tore out of her flesh, as leathery skin surrounded it. She screamed as her teeth became sharp and her body changed form. The mare fell to the ground in a smoking pile, breathing heavily. 
What the heck just happened? Ty didn't have time to think about it. He held his dagger firmly in his magic, and launched it at the changeling, the blade digging into it's shoulder. The changeling roared in pain. The bug pony glared at his attacker, hissing and bearing his fangs. 
Ty smiled and pulled out the dagger with his magic, then forcing it back into the changeling in his chest. The changeling hissed at Ty, and started to advance, but suddenly froze. It's eyes glazed over and it fell to the ground, dead as a doorknob. Ty stared at the changeling, green blood oozing out of its chest. "Gross." Ty said to himself, walking over to the mare.
She was breathing weakly and had her eyes closed. She was a complete changeling now and Ty knew what he had to do. He just didn't want to do it. 
Ty sighed and closed his eyes tightly, bringing the dagger up in his magic. He then brought it down and into the side of the mare, flinching when he heard her squeal. Ty's breath was shaky and uneven as he opened his eyes. He stared at the ponied before him, and tears flooded his eyes. "I- I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry." he said, dropping the dagger. 
The knife clattered to the floor as Ty turned and walked down the stairs, his eyes on the floor. Ty walked out of the house, his head down. He wiped the tears from his eyes and looked around, only to find the town ravaged by bug ponies. 
"Sky. Where are you. Your team needs you." Ty pleaded, looking around.
