Flash, Twilight, and Shining were on a boat with star swirl but were about to flyaway on Scale When Star swirl said "before you go I have some things for you" he then pulled out a pendent "Twilight this pendent contains water from the spirit spring it has special healing property's don't lose it" then handed Flash a box and said "Flash these scrolls will help you master water bending" he then turned to shining "and Shining here" as he handed him a sword "Its just a sword I notice yours was looking dull".
The three of them thanked him and left on scales back then flew off for clouds dale to start Flashes air bending training and as they took off Twilight said "Say hello to grandmother".
One day later they arrived but were shocked to see the city had been taken over by the earth kingdom and Flash said "oh no this is not good".
Shining then said "It looks like Canterlot is the only air city left that hasn't been taken by the Earth kingdom".
Twilight then said "looks like were going to have to find another air bender to teach you Flash".
Flash then said "Twilight this isn't about finding a teacher this is about finding my friend".
Later they were down the cliff at a capt tunnel and Shining said "a secret entrance why didn't we just use this last time?"
Flash the popped the cap off and slime came out on Shining and Flash said "That answer your question?"
They Went through the slime and made it to the end of the tunnel.  Meanwhile a young woman was headed for the air nation and she said "Hmm I can't bring an army with me to much weight what I need is an elite team time to visit some old friends".
Back in clouds dale a young woman with orange skin and fiery hair was walking through the city and she said "There is no word to describe how much I hate this place".
Then a woman said "Sunset your father was chosen as governor were like royalty here be happy enjoy it".
While they were saying this air benders above said "we've got them In our sight take them out".
Sunset then said "I thought my life in the earth kingdom was bleak but this place is unbearable nothing ever happens".
Then arrows were shot at them and Flash who was nearby shot fire and burned them the woman saw this and said "the resistance".
Then Sunset threw knives at them and they started ruining with her chasing them but they got away and she sighed and ran into the resistance. Meanwhile the young woman from before was at a circus when she found who she was looking for and said "night glider could that possibly be you".
Then night glider who was upside down said "Gloriosa" then got back on her feet with back flips then hugged her and said "Its so good to see you".
Gloriosa then said "please don't let me interrupted... whatever you were doing tell me what is the daughter of a nobleman doing here our parents didn't send us to earth capital academy for girl to be in places like this" as she looked at a platypus bear "I have a proposition for you you see I'm hunting a trader you remember my uncle right?"
Night glider then said "oh ya he was a card".
Gloriosa then said "how would you like to accompany me".
Night glider then said "oh um i'd love to but I'm actually really happy here I mean my aura has never been this good".
Gloriosa then said "I'll take your word for it I wouldn't want you to give up the life you love to please me".
Night glider then said "thank you".
Then Gloriosa said "but before I leave I'm going to catch your show".
Night glider then said "oh um okay".
Back in clouds dale Flash was talking with the resistance and said "so is magnus with you guys is he leading the resistance?"
Then a guy said "of course not the day of the invasion we readied our selves for battle we were ready to fight for our city to defend our home but before we had the chance magnus surrendered".
Then Flash said "I guess the best option is to leave this clouds dale your putting up a good fight but your out numbered you can't win now is the time to retreat so you can live to fight anther day".
The guy then said "maybe your right but how do we get out?"
Then Shining said "We take the secret exit".
meanwhile Ring tail was in the main building and saw some nuts then went eat them when a toddler saw his tail and went too play with it but then when she grabbed the tail it pulled and she went with it out the window and into the tunnels. Meanwhile at the circus the ring master said "we are honored to have the princess of the earth kingdom with us if there is anything we can do to make the show more enjoyable please tell us".
She then said "I will". A few minutes later Night glider was on the high wire and Gloriosa said "incredible will she fall?"
The ring master then said "of course not".
Gloriosa then said "than remove the safety net".
Then the ring master said "oh um okay" and did so.
Gloriosa the asked "oh what kind of dangerous animals do you have"
The ring master then said "Oh too many to name".
Then Gloriosa said "release them all". Night glider was terrified.
Outside Clouds dale the resistance had managed to escape and then a guy said to Flash and the others "You need to know we just did a head count and have a problem".
Twilight then said "oh no was someone left behind".
The guy then said "actually no we have an extra" as he pointed to the toddler girl still following ring tail and they looked stunned.
Back in clouds dale sunsets mother was crying because of her missing daughter with Sunset standing nearby her father then said "the resistance is clever they managed to kidnap my youngest daughter there just like that master Magnus"
A guard then came up and asked "what are your orders sir?"
Back at the circus Night glider met up with Gloriosa and said "you know what I think its time for a career change maybe I will join you".
Back at the camp were the resistance was the toddler was in Twilight's arms and she said "oh your so cute".
Then a hawk came in with a message and Flash went to read it and said "Its a promise for an exchange from the governor If we bring back his daughter he will give us magnus".
The next morning In the city Gloriosa arrived with Night glider then met up with Sunset who said "I hope your here to kill me" then laughed.
Gloriosa then said "Its good to see you sunset I have a mission and I need you both".
Sunset then said "count me In anything to get out of this place".
Later Gloriosa met up with the boss and he said "forgive me princess you have come at a difficult time you see we are making a trade later today to get pumpkin back".
Gloriosa then said "Yes I heard about your problem I will over see the trade".
Later they met up were a statue was being built were Flash and the group had the toddler and Magnus was being lowered down on a crane and said "hey everyone".
Sunset then said "do you have my sister?"
Flash then said "Right here ready to make the trade".
Gloriosa then said "you a thought just came to me were trading a toddler for a powerful air bending master doesn't seem like a fare trade does it?"
Sunset then said "your right the deals off" then she started walking forward while they lifted Magnus back up.
Flash then yelled "Magnus" and ran over Gloriosa tried to stop him but he fire bent his way up.
Gloriosa then said "the avatar my lucky day" and she went after him.
Flash then landed on the box holding Magnus and he said "Flash were did you come from".
Flash then said "hang on I'm going to get you out" then started heating the chain with his fire and had water ready.
Back on the ground Twilight said "we have to get the baby out of here".
Shining then said "way ahead of you as he pulled out a whistle and blew into it".
They tried to run but Night glider and Sunset attacked Twilight was water bending to get them. Back with flash he was about to cut the chain when Magnus said "Flash stop for a minute".
Then Gloriosa appeared and bent a metal blade at them but cut the chain instead and they fell onto one of the delivery tracks but Gloriosa jumped into one of the carts and followed them Flash then said "just like old times".
Magnus then said "Flash I need to talk to you".
Then Flash said "Its good to see you too".
Then Gloriosa appeared on the track next to them and she was using her metal wires to try and grab them then they were on the same track and she was right behind them. Back with Twilight she was putting up a good fight until Night glider gave her a few jabs in her side then she couldn't bent and Sunset said "how are you gonna fight without your bending?"
Then a boomerang hit her and went back to shining who was riding Scale and he said "I seem to manage" then Scale hit them with his tail and knocked them back.
Then they were Flying after Flash but Gloriosa was still following them and was about to shoot a big rock at them when magnus saw this he shoot a powerful air blast that destroyed the rock and sent Gloriosa flying Flash then said "you could air bend all along?"
Then Magnus said "well they didn't cover my face" then he used air bending to slow them down and stop.
Flash then said "I don't understand why didn't you free your self why did you surrender when Clouds dale was invaded what is the matter with you magnus".
Magnus then said "Flash let me tell you something there are ways of fighting called gings".
Flash then said "yes there positive ging when your attacking and negative ging when your retreating".
Magnus then said "And neutral ging when you do nothing".
Then Flash said "Wait there are three gings?"
Magnus then said "Well to be honest there are 85 but lets just focus on number three Neutral ging is the key to air bending always waiting and feeling for the right moment to strike".
Flash then said "so thats why you surrendered isn't it?"
Then Magnus said "yes that is why I can't leave now".
Then Flash said "well I guess I need to find someone else to teach me air bending".
Magnus then said "yes you must find someone who has mastered neutral ging someone who waits and feels the air before striking goodbye Flash I will see you when the time is right" Magnus then air bent himself back up.
Then Scale appeared with Twilight and Shining on his back. Over with Gloriosa She was talking with her friends and Sunset said "so were tracking down your brother and uncle?"
Night Glider then said "It will be interesting seeing Timber again wouldn't it Sunset".
Sunset then looked away with a smile and blush Gloriosa then said "Its not just Timber and Stygian anymore we have a 3rd target now".
Later that night Flash went up to a building top were Sunsets parents were on a balcony with there backs turned Flash then went down and placed Pumpkin behind them then went off when the two turned around and saw them the woman said "Pumpkin" and they both went over and hugged her with Flash watching on a nearby roof then left.

> The swamp
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Timber and Stygian Were In the woods they had recently discovered want posters with there faces on them so they were hiding Stygian was looking at a blue bush with a white flower he found growing nearby when Timber came out of nearby bushes and said "ugh I can't live like this I wasn't meant to be a fugitive" then noticed Stygian and said "uncle what are you doing?"
Then Stygian said "Your looking at the rare blue dragon bush its leaves make a tea so delicious its heart breaking that or its the blue joke which will make something weird happen".
Timber then said "We need food not tea I'm going fishing".
After Timber walked away Stygian said "Delicious tea or weird poison".
Over with Flash and the group they were flying on Scales back over a swamp and Flash was lowering into it then Twilight asked "um Flash is there a reason your getting lower to the ground?"
Flash then said "oh sorry I didn't realize I was Its just I feel like the swamp is calling to me".
Shining then said "maybe you should ignore it we have to find an air bending teacher and we don't have time to stop".
Flash then said "maybe your right yip yip".
Then a twister appeared behind them and followed them Shining saw this and said "um you might want to add anther yip in there".
Flash looked behind just as the tornado caught up to them and threw them into the swamp when they landed Flash said "where's Scale and Ring tail" he went up to the tree tops and called them but nothing happened.
Flash came back down and Twilight asked "you didn't find them?"
Flash then said "no and the tornado its gone".
Meanwhile in the swamp Scale was caught in vines and Ring tail was nibbling them to try and free him when he did Scale tried to fly but just got stuck in more vines and ring tail started nibbling them again. Back with Timber he was heading back to his uncle with no fish and Stygian said "Timber remember that plant that I thought might be tea leaves".
Timber then said "you didn't".
Stygian then said "I did" then turned around and reviled his face had turned upside down "and it wasn't tea leaves". Timber was freaked out then Stygian said "but look what what I found" as he held up a branch of strange berries "ying berries able to nullify it the poison or they could be yang berries that will only make it worse".
Timber then grabbed the branch from his hand and threw it saying "enough with these plants thats it we need to find help".
Stygian than said "you are right but were to get it If we go to the air nation we could be seen as criminals but If we go to the earth kingdom we would be locked up forever".
Then Timber said "so air nation".
Stygian then said "air nation indeed" as they started walking to it.
Back in the swamp Shining was cutting throw plants with his sword and said "we need to speed things up".
Flash then said "Shining I don't think thats a good idea".
Shining then said "what should I say please and thank you we have to find Scale and Ring tail so we can get out of here".
What they didn't know is that someone was watching them in the shadows. Over with Scale and ring tail they were walking threw the swamp when they stopped to take a break. Back with Flash and the group Shining said "Its no good they can't see us and we cant see them we need to set up camp".
Twilight then said "I don't know this place gives me the creeps"
Then Shining said "don't worry Twilight there's nothing out of the ordinary here"
Then there was a loud scream and the huddled up together till they saw it was just a weird bird nearby and Twilight said "nothing out of the ordinary hu".
Shining then said "I think we should build a fire" then went to collect fire wood.
Flash then said "Shining I still don't think thats a good idea".
Then Shining said "don't worry nothing bad is gonna happen".
Later they fell asleep but when they woke up they found them selves separated. Over with some native living in the swamp they were looking at a trail and one said "What you think made them tracks Braeburn?"
Braeburn then said "Don't know shill something long with scales".
Shill then said "leaves a nice trail to follow".
Braeburn then said "you know whats at the end of that trail?" Shill shook his head no and Braeburn said "dinner".
Back with Timber and Stygian they had found an air nation village and went into medic building were a nice lady brew a herbal bath for Stygian and she said "you to must not be from around here you should know better than to touch the blue joke let alone make it into tea and drink it what are your names".
Timber than said "Oh my name is spirit and he's my uncle um... ghost".
The woman then said "You two look like you could use some help why don't you stay for dinner?"
Then Stygian said "we would love to".
Later after dinner they were getting ready to leave and did so but first the lady said "hold on" as she went into the barn and came back out with an ostrich horse "here we bred ostrich horses so I'm sure It will help you".
Timber then said "thank you" as he climbed onto its back then his uncle climbed up and they took off.
Back at the swamp Twilight was looking for the others when she saw someone and recognized her "mom?! mom!" then ran to her "how is it..." then when she got there she found it was just an old stump.
With Shining he was looking for the others but then saw a light out the corner of his eye and turned to see it then said "Fleur ? okay its just your head playing tricks on you".
Then Fleur said "Shining why didn't you protect me?" then she disappeared.
With Flash he was looking but then he heard a laugh an looked to see two girls an older one and a younger one the older one had sky blue skin and rainbow colored hair and the younger one had orange skin and purple hair both of them were wearing white dresses and flying next to them was what looked like a turtle with wings Flash then asked "hey who are you two?" Then they giggled and jumped away Flash tried to fallow them but they disappeared.
Over with Scale some guys in boats came up to him and Shill said "come on now fellas nothing to worry about we just want ta eat ya".
Scale then turned around and ran away and Braeburn said "why'd you say that!?"
Shill then said "we are right".
"Well you don't have to tell them that".
"how was I suppose to know they'd understand me".
"Lets just follow them".
Shill then got up and started water bending to move the boat and chase after them as did others in the boats.
Back with Flash he was running to try and find his friends when he ran into Twilight then they tumbled down a hill into Shining and Then Shining said "Where were you guys I've been trying to find you".
Then Twilight said "I was looking for you guys".
Flash then said "I was chasing a couple of girls in white dresses".
Twilight then said "wait what? thats weird because I thought I saw mom".
Shining then said "okay we must be getting tired and thats why were seeing things".
Twilight then said "wait you too?"
Shining then said "I thought I saw Fleur de lis but hey I think about her all the time and Twilight you think of mom a lot as well".
Then Flash said "what about me I saw two girls I had never met".
Then a giant creator made of vines with a strange mask came out of nearby water and tried to grab Shining Twilight cut it with water bending but more vines came up then when she cut it again Shining noticed something and said "There's someone inside that thing he's bending the vines".
Then Flash fire slashed threw the mask and the thing came open and a guy came out then Flash said "hey why did you call me hear if your just going to attack us?"
The guy then said "I didn't call you here".
Flash then said "But we were flying over head and I heard a voice calling me you see I'm the avatar".
The guy then said "Come with me" he then lead them to a large tree in the middle of the swamp and said "This swamp Is said to be a spirit I gained enlightenment meditating under this tree it called me just like it did you you see everything is connected". 
Then Twilight said "But what did our visions mean?"
The guy then said "In the swamp we see visions of people we loved, people we lost, people who we think are gone but the swamp says there not were still connected to them".
Flash then asked "what about my vision it was two people I had never met?"
The guy then said "what do you think?"
Flash thought for a minute and said "wait was that someone I will met?"
The guy then said "bingo".
Shining then said "Sorry to interrupt but we still need to find Scale and Ring tail".
Then Flash said "I have an idea everything is connected" then placed his hand on a vine and saw them being attacked by natives then said "oh no we have to hurry".
They quickly went there and Twilight said "What are you doing?"
Then the swamp guy appeared and Shill said "hey its you how you been".
Later they talked and later they got ready to leave and Flash said "Well it was nice meeting you but we need to get going" then they took off on scales back.

> The blind sisters
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flash and the others were in town and Shining was looking at an air nation bag for sale and said "hmm Its pricey but I really do like it".
Twilight then said "then why don't you buy it?"
Shining then said "I don't know its really pricey".
Then Twilight said "well then lets move on".
They walked away but then Shining came back and said "what the hey I'm buying it".
Later they overheard a guy say "you hear a new air bending team is here to take on the champions".
Then the guy next to him said "Are you kidding they will have to take on many other great air bending teams just to get to them".
Flash then when up to them and said "hey sorry to interrupt but where is this the competition?"
The guy then said "on a cliff at the east side of town why?"
Flash then said "Just wondering".
Later they arrived at the stadium and took seats Flash then said "you know its funny the air nation use to be so strict in there traditions but now there fighting for fun".
Then the show started and a guy jumped into the stadium and said "welcome to twister rumble six I'm your host 
Fire streak".
Twilight then said "This is just going to be a bunch of people shooting wind blasts at each other isn't it?"
Then Shining said "thats what I paid for".
Fire streak then said "The rules are simple just knock the other guys over and out of the ring and you win now our first match the wonder bolt duo, Fleet foot and Spitfire vs the Vapor Stinger, Sky stinger and vapor trail". Sky then blew a strong gust while Vapor jumped and tried to knock them off balance but Spitfire jumped as well but not as high she then blew a strong gust at vapor and blew her out then Fleet foot blew Sky out as well. Later they got to the final mach "now the moment you've all been waiting for Wonder bolt duo vs the blind sisters" as two girls came out one with rainbow colored hair and the other with purple hair.
Twilight then said "there not really blind are they?"
Then Flash said "actually I think they are".
Then shining said "I think they are going down".
Then Fleet foot said "Really were going to fight to blind girls that one looks like she's only thirteenth".
Then the older blind girl said "whats the matter you scared?"
The younger blind girl then said "ya scared to fight a couple blind girls".
Spitfire then said "well lets do this".
Then both blind girls said "Whenever your ready losers" then they both laughed.
When Flash heard them laugh he remember that time in the swamp. The battle then started Spitfire and Fleet foot were about to blow strong gusts at them but first the older blind girl waited and felt there moments so did the younger then right before The wonder bolt duo shoot there attacks both blind girls shoot air down which moved along the ground and pushed them off there feet then they shoot more air and threw them out of the ring and Fire streak then said "the winners and still champions The blind sisters".
Twilight then said "how did they do that?"
Then Flash said "they waited and felt the air".
Then Fire streak said "to make things more interesting I'm offering this bag of gold to anyone who can defeat the blind sisters" then no one said anything "what no one wants to take on the champions?"
Then Flash said "we accept" as he and Twilight went into the ring.
The older blind girl then said "well this should be easy".
They tried to blow them out but flash heated up the ground and then they jumped off it where flash then pushed them out. Then Fire streak said "Well what do you know the champions have been defeated".
The two girls then started walking away Flash tried to stop them but they started running and got away later Flash and the group were walking threw town and Shining said "you know now I'm glad I bought the bag It matches this belt perfectly".
Flash then said "we need to find the blind sisters let look around town for clues".
Then they ran into the guys from earlier and one said "hey your that guy who beat the blind sisters".
Flash then said "do you know where they live?"
Then the guy said "sorry but the blind sisters are a mystery no one knows where they live".
Twilight then said "hey Flash you said they looked like your vision in the swamp was there anything else that might be helpful?"
Flash then said "well they were with what looked like a turtle with wings but I don't know what that means".
Then a guy came up and said "did you say turtle with wings?"
Shining then said "you heard of it?"
Then the guy said "well the symbol of the wealthy hot hoof family is a flying tortoise but I also heard how you looking for the blind sisters you see the hot hoof family doesn't have any daughters I mean there was a rumor that they tried a couple times but it didn't work out".
Flash then said "well we should go see".
Back at the stadium Spitfire was talking with Fire streak and said "I'm telling you I saw it those two shoot no air blasts at all the sisters must have faked defeat and spit the money with them".
Fire streak then said "no one scams me and gets away with it".
Over with Flash and the group they made it to the Hot hoof mansion where they climbed over the wall and hid then an air blast sent them flying then hit the ground and the sisters from before came over only now they were both wearing white dresses and the older one said "what are you guys doing here how did you find us?"
Then Flash said "well an old friend told me I needed to find an air bending teacher then I had this vision in the swamp..."
Then Twilight said "what Flash means is he's the avatar and he needs to master the elements to save the world".
Then the younger girl said "not our problem".
The older one then said "now get out before we call the guards".
Then shining said "look please we all have to do our part to win this war and your part is to teach Flash air bending".
Both girls then turned around and the younger one yelled "guards come quick".
Flash and the others manage to get away before guards arrived and when they did one asked Rainbow, Scootaloo what happened?"
Rainbow then said "We thought we heard someone we got scared".
The guard then said "you two know your father doesn't want you two wandering the grounds wandering the ground unsupervised".
Later Rainbow and Scootaloo were inside with there parents and her father said to a guy in there "I'm glad to hear that both my daughter's lessons are doing well Zephyr but I want to make sure there not doing anything to dangerous".
Zephyr then said "not at all"
Then a butler came over and said "excuse me sir but you have a visitor".
The father then said "who thinks they are important enough to come to my home unannounced".
The butler then said "um the avatar sir" when Rainbow and Scootaloo heard that there head jolted up a little.
Later they were having dinner with the avatar and his friends and later when they were in guest rooms Rainbow and Scootaloo came in and Rainbow said "hey lets call a trues okay". Later they were all outside "even though we were both born blind we have never had a problem seeing you see we can see threw air bending kinda like seeing with our bodies we feel the movements of air".
Then Scootaloo said "we can feel everything you that tree even those bees".
Flash then said "incredible".
Rainbow then said "our parents don't understand they always treat us like were helpless".
Flash then said "is that why you became the blind sisters?"
Scootaloo then said "ya".
Then Flash said "then why stay here where your not happy?"
Then Rainbow said "there our parents where else are we suppose to go?"
Flash then said "you could come with us".
Then Scootaloo said "I don't know".
Then Rainbow said "wait were being ambushed".
They ran across the yard but ran into a trap then fire streak appeared and said I believe you kids have my money".
Later there parents along with Twilight and Shining found a note on a sword and Twilight read it aloud "If you want your daughters back you must pay me five hundred good coins sighed Fire streak".
Then Windy whistles said "oh my Rainbow and Scootaloo must be terrified".
Later at the stadium Rainbow said "you guys think your so tough".
Then Scootaloo said "why don't you come up here and face us for real?"
Then Fire streak said "Quite both of you"
Then bow hot hoof came in and yelled "Rainbow, Scootaloo".
Then shining said "here's your money now let them go" he threw the bag at them then signaled for them to open the cages which they did but only two of them opened and released Rainbow and Scootaloo who ran to there parents.
Twilight then said "what about Flash?"
Fire streak then held up a want poster and said "I think the earth kingdom will pay a nice price for the avatar now get out" as all his competitors from before came in.
Then a strong gust of wind blew them off balance Shining and Twilight looked and saw Rainbow and Scootaloo and Rainbow said "leave this to us".
Meanwhile there Parents were watching with fear. They blew all of them away and then took the keys and freed Flash afterwards Zephyr said "your daughters are more skilled than I thought"
Later back at there house Rainbow and Scootaloo explained everything and there father said "clearly I didn't have enough eyes watching you two you are never to leave this house".
Flash and the group would have said something but he had them leave. Later they were about to takeoff with Scale but then Rainbow shouted "Wait were coming with you".
They looked and saw Rainbow and Scootaloo coming over and Flash said "what about your dad?"
Scootaloo then said If we know our dad he will probably sent someone to find us but we can give him the slip every time".
Twilight then said "well then climb up before he discovers your gone".
They did and Scale took off later at the house Bow was speaking with both Zephyr and Fire streak and said "I know you two are very different but I have notice one thing you have in common" as he opened a chest of gold "you see the avatar has taken both of my daughters I wan't you guys to find them and bring them home".

> The Chase
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Timber was talking with his uncle and he decided to go alone Stygian then said "Are you sure?"
Timber then said "yes I need to find my next path" as he mounted on the ostrich horse and took off.
Stygian then said "I know this will not end well".
With Flash and the group Rainbow and Scootaloo got down and Rainbow said "hey you guys I don't now about this campsite".
Scootaloo then said "Ya there are a lot of rocks here"
Then Shining said "those aren't rocks Scale is shedding... Scales".
Twilight then said "gross".
Then Flash said "Its not gross its spring Flowers bloom and scale gets a new set of armor".
Then scale sneezed and dropped more scales and Twilight said "oh grate".
Then Shining said "oh get over it Twilight".
Then Flash came over and said "ya its not so bad".
Twilight then said "I am glad we have more girls in the group now because you to are unbearable sometimes".
Then Rainbow and Scoots came over and Rainbow said "hey anyone have a brush because my sister has some dirty scales" as Scootaloo turned and revealed her back covered with some of the scales. Then everyone laughed but Twilight thought it look weird before laughing with everyone else.
Later that night they were setting up camp then Twilight noticed Rainbow and Scootaloo off to the side the went over to them and asked "hey aren't you two going to help out as well?"
Then Rainbow said "hey we carry our own weight we have our food and everything but were probably going to sleep in a nice tree tonight".
Then Twilight said "oh well still you should pitch in a little".
Then Scoots said "um were going to get some shut eye" as they both jumped into a tree.
Twilight then said "Fine".
Later they all went to sleep but Rainbow and Scootaloo woke up and Rainbow said "guys there's something coming something big".
Then Twilight said "what is it".
Scoots then said "we don't know but it coming fast we need to get out of here".
They all climbed onto Scales back and took off but while doing so they saw a large moving thing and Twilight said "what is that thing?"
They later arrived at a new campsite and set up to rest while Rainbow and Scootaloo got in anther tree Twilight then said "really you guys should try to pitch in".
Then Rainbow said "we carry our own weight Twilight" and Twilight groaned.
Later they were sleeping when Rainbow shouted "Its back we need to move!"
Then Shining said "oh far is it maybe we can just close are eye for a few minutes".
Flash looked and saw smoke coming up then said "I don't think so Shining".
They then mounted Scale and flew off to a cliff Shining then said "Forget about setting up camp I'm finding a nice soft pile of dirt and getting some sleep".
Twilight then Said "Thats fine because Rainbow and Scoots weren't going to help anyway".
Then Flash said "come on guys were being chased and we don't even know by who".
Twilight then said "It could be Timber we haven't seen him since the north pole".
Then Scoots asked "who's Timber?"
Shining then said "Just an angry earth bending freak who tracked us all over the world".
Then Ring tail was freaking out and Flash said "no how did they fin us?"
Twilight then said "lets get out of here".
Then Flash said "I think we should face them"
Then the machine came close and opened reviling Gloriosa, Sunset, and Night Glider riding big lizards. Twilight then said "oh no those are the girls we fought back at Clouds Dale".
Then Rainbow said "we can take them three on four".
Shining then said "um Rainbow There's five of us".
Then Rainbow said "I know I just didn't count because you don't bend".
Shining then said "What!? you do know that two of them aren't benders ether".
Then Scootaloo said "wow this should be easy".
Rainbow and Scootaloo tried to blow them away but the lizards had a good grip and Shining said "okay we wanted to know who they are and now we know lets get out of here".
Sunset threw daggers but they got away and Rainbow said "I still think we could have taken them".
Then Twilight said "are you kidding If the crazy lava bending and flying daggers aren't enough back at clouds dale one of those girls did something that took my bending away it was scary".
Then Shining said "oh no the sun is rising and we've been up all night with no sleep".
Then Flash said "Shining we will be fine".
Shining then said "are you sure I've never not slept before".
Twilight then said "every time we land those girls are there we just have to keep flying"
Flash then said "we can't keep flying forever".
Back on the ground Timber was following the tracks made by that machine. Over with Flash they started falling and Twilight said "Whats going on?"
Then Flash said "Scale fell asleep wake up buddy".
Scale did wake up but It was a ruff landing and Shining said "okay we've put a lot of distance between us and those girls right now we need to follow Scale's example and get some sleep".
Twilight then said "you know we could have gotten sleep earlier if Rainbow and Scoots didn't have such issues".
Then Rainbow yelled "what!?"
Flash then said "hey everyone is extremely tired lets just get some rest".
Then Scoots said "no we want to hear what Twilight has to say".
Then Twilight said "I'm just saying maybe if you two had helped us set up camp we could have gotten some sleep".
Then Rainbow said "your blaming us If anyone's to blame its big lizard over here" as she pointed to Scale.
Flash then said "wait your blaming Scale".
Then Scoots said "The reason they keep finding us is because he's leave a trail of scales wherever we go".
Then Flash said "how dare you blame Scale you say you carry your own weight but your wrong Scale was carrying you 
two all night".
Then rainbow said "well looks like were done here" and she and Scoots left.
Then Flash said "oh no now I lost both my air bending teachers".
Twilight then said "were just trying to get use to each other I was so mean to them".
Shining then said "ya you two were kinda jerks".
Twilight then said "thanks Shining".
Shining then said "your welcome".
Then Twilight said "we need to find Rainbow and Scootaloo so we can say sorry".
Shining then said "okay but what are we gonna do about the large tank filled with powerful ladies trying to capture us".
Flash then said "I have an idea" later Scale was in the water as Twilight and Flash were using water bending to wash off all the loose scales "Rainbow and Scoots were right his scales were leaving a trail but now that the loose scales have bin washed off we should be fine".
Twilight then said "are you sure he's okay to fly?"
Flash then said "as long as we leave his saddle and our stuff here were fine I'm going to use some of these scale to make a decoy trail and throw the tank off course". Twilight and Shining then took off riding scale and broke off some tree tops while Flash took off in the opposite direction.
Meanwhile Rainbow and Scootaloo were walking threw the woods when they both felt something and they both blew air at it behind a nearby bush then went there where Stygian was knocked down and he said "ow that really hurt my back".
Back at the river Gloriosa and the others saw scales in the water and sunset said "bunches of dirty dragon scales".
Then Night glider said "ya your right".
Sunset looked and said "the trail goes this way".
Gloriosa looked at broken tree tops and said "it seems the avatar is trying to throw us off you two head in this direction and keep an eye out for the dragon I will follow this trail".
Flash flew until he ran out of scales in a small abandon town he was about to fly back but found he was to tired and just sat down. Back with Twilight and Shining they were flying over head and Shining said "Rainbow and Scoots couldn't have gotten far" then Ring tail went to the back and growled "what is it ring tail... oh no!" as he looked down and saw Sunset and night glider.
Twilight then said "how did they find us".
Then Scale started dropping and Shining said "oh no Scale is to tired but looks like we just need to make it across that river".
Twilight then said "come on Scale just a little farther" Then Scale crashed on the other side of the river "you did it Scale".
Then they looked and saw the lizards they were riding swim across the river really fast Twilight tried to water bend them away but they both jumped and landed on the other side were they started fighting Night glider tried to block Twilight's bending but she moved out of the way then Night glider hit shining and knock both his arms out she tried to hit again but hit his head and shook her fist like it hurt then said "ow what is your head made of?"
Shining then said "brains and brawn's".
Over with Twilight she was over by a tree she tried to water bend but Sunset then threw knives and hit her sleeves trapping her hands then Shining walked over and fell down Sunset said "you know I'm a little disappointed I thought when we finally got to you It would be more of a challenge" as night glider came up next to her but then they were knocked into the water by Scale's tail.
Shining then said "Thanks Scales I don't know what we would do without you".
Farther down river Sunset and Night glider came out of the water and Night glider said "was it just me or was he kinda cute?" Sunset then rolled her eyes.
Back at the abandon town Flash was watching as Gloriosa came into view and Flash said "alright you found me now spill who are you and what do you want?"
Gloriosa then said "you mean you don't see the family resemblance?"
Flash then said "So what now?"
Gloriosa then said "Now its over your to tired to fight and you have nowhere to run".
Flash then said "I'm not running".
Over with Rainbow and Scoots Stygian then gave them some tea and said "you to seem a bit to young to be traveling alone".
Rainbow then said "you seem a bit to old".
Then Scootaloo said "Besides were not alone we have each other".
Stygian then said "true and maybe I am to old".
Rainbow then said "we know what your thinking that we can't handle anything on our own".
Stygian then said "I was not thinking that".
Scootaloo then said "you wouldn't let us fix our own tea".
Then Stygian said "I fixed your tea because I wanted to and no other reason".
Rainbow then said "people see us and think were weak they want to take care of us but we can take care of ourselves and each other as long as were together".
Stygian then said "you sound like my nephew thinking you need to do things on your own but you do welcome help from each other there is nothing wrong with excepting help from others".
Scootaloo then asked "were is your nephew lost?"
Stygian then said "you could say that his life has changed and he is going threw a difficult time he is trying to figure out where his life is heading and he left".
Rainbow then said "so now your following him?"
Then Stygian said "I know he doesn't want me around but if he needs me I will be there"
Scoots then said "your nephew is very lucky even if he doesn't know it thank you what you said seems to have helped us".
Rainbow then Said "yes oh and your nephew maybe you should tell him that you need him as well".
Back at the town Gloriosa then said "do you really want to fight me?"
Then Timber rode in on his ostrich horse and said "stand down Gloriosa the avatar is mine".
Flash then said "Timber".
Gloriosa then said "I was wondering when you would arrive brother".
Then Flash said "brother? Oh now I get it family resemblance".
Then they started fighting Gloriosa shot a metal disk at Timber who barely blocked it and it sent him flying back Flash then shot fire at her but she pulled up a boulder to block it later She had Flash cornered in a building when Twilight appeared a started fighting as well then Rainbow and Scootaloo also appeared. Then Stygian walked up to Timber Who said "Uncle?"
Stygian then said "get up" then they all started fighting her and had her cornered.
Gloriosa then said "What do you know enemies and traders all working together" then she hit Stygian with a big rock then pulled up a boulder shield as they attacked when it cleared out she was gone.
Shining then said "were did she go?" Then they noticed Stygian was hurt and Twilight tried to help but Timber told them to leave and they did. Later they landed in a forest and finally got some sleep.

> The library
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flash and the group were resting then Flash got up and said "alright today is the day I finally learn air bending after so long looking for a teacher".
Then there was a strong wind blowing and Rainbow and Scootaloo came down from a tree as rainbow said "good morning student".
Flash then said "so where do we start?"
Rainbow then said "follow us" then they lead him to an area with rectangular fans made from strong sticks and big leaves "now this is were we start you have to get your movement's right you need to get threw these fans as there spinning".
Flash then asked "Spinning?"
Then Scootaloo blew a wind gust and they started spinning fast Rainbow then held a leaf and released to then said "the key is to be the leaf and flow with the wind you have to be able to change direction at any time".
Flash then said "Okay" as he went in and believe it or not he was doing great moving perfectly with the air flow then came out at the other side.
Rainbow then went over to him and said "not bad for a beginner lets move on to something bigger blow an air blast".
Flash then said "alright".
Scoots then said "okay now feel the air and then focus and push the air".
Flash tried but nothing happened and Rainbow said "keep trying you'll get it" and Flash keep trying.
Meanwhile with Timber he was talking with his uncle and said "uncle its only a matter of time before we run into Gloriosa again I need to learn more advanced earth bending to face her now I know what your going to say she's my sister and I should try to get along with her".
Stygian then said "no she is crazy and needs to be taken down time to resume your training".
Back with Flash he was starting to get the hang of it Rainbow came over and said "well done Flash your doing pretty well".
Flash then said "thanks".
Back with Timber he was training and Stygian said "you must learn to better stance your self feel the heat of the rock and increase it to create a pool of lava" Timber did so and it was working great.
Back with Flash Scoots said "well your doing well".
Later Shining was hunting and tried to catch a bird but it got away and he said "man it got away".
Flash was still air bending training with rainbow said "Jump" and he did "spin flip and land" flash did and landed perfectly.
Scootaloo then said "Well done your an air bender but you still need training".
The next day they saddled up and left then found themselves flying over a desert and landed at an oasis with a small town then went into a drink store and Shining said "why don't we have a drink while we figure out strategy".
Then Flash walked into a guy and his drink spilled on Flash and Flash said "oh sorry good thing I dry easily" as he fire bent himself dry.
The guy then said "you are a living relic a fire bender right in front of me I am quibble a master of ancient relics".
Then Flash said "good to meet you".
Shining then said "hey quibble you seem well learned do you have a map ours is a little out dated". Quibble then nodded and took them to a table were he rolled out his map Shining looked at it then said "What no earth kingdom doesn't anyone have a map of there land?"
Twilight then said "wow looks like you've made several trips into the desert".
Quibble then said "all in vain I'm afraid I've found many lost civilizations in the desert but never found the crown jewel The great library of Hedwig".
Then Scootaloo said "you've spent years walking throw the dessert looking for some library?"
Quibble then said "This library is more valuable than gold it is said to contain a vast amount of knowledge and knowledge is priceless".
Rainbow then said sarcastically "sounds fun".
Quibble then said "oh it is legend says the great spirit Hedwig build it with the help of his wolf knowledge seekers you see they collected books from all over the world and put them on display for man kind to read so we can better our selves".
Shining then said "If they have books from around the world do you think they have information on the earth kingdom a map maybe?"
Quibble then said "If there is such a thing its in Hedwig's library".
Shining then said "looks like thats where were going next".
Quibble then said "of course there is the matter of finding the library I've made several trips into the desert and almost die every time".
Flash then said "Quibble would you like to see our dragon?"
Quibble then said "what you have a dragon?"
They showed scale to him then they got on its back and took off one hour later they spotted a tower coming out of the ground and went to see it Twilight then "said this can't be it this drawing is enormous then they heard something and looked to see a wolf go climb the tower and enter threw a window.
Then Shining said "wait this is the library look its completely buried".
Quibble then said "well time to start digging as he pulled out a shovel".
Twilight then said "why don't we just go in threw a window like that wolf did?"
Then Rainbow said "you guys have fun".
Scootaloo then said "ya were going to wait out here".
Twilight then said "okay we'll go ahead".
Once they were inside Quibble marveled in its glory and said "Its incredible".
Then they heard something coming and went to hid then a giant owl came threw and said "I know your back there".
Quibble then went over to him and said "hello I am Quibble an expert in ancient artifacts".
The owl then said "you should leave the way you came if you don't want to become a stuffed head on the wall".
Then the others came up and Shining said are you the spirit who brought this library to the real world?"
The owl then said "yes I am Hedwig the wisest spirit and you are obviously humans" 
Flash then asked "why do you have a grudge on humans?"
Hedwig the said "humans only bother to learn things defeat there enemies a few years ago an earth bender came here looking for a way to do just that now why are you here?"
Shining then said "um knowledge for knowledge".
Hedwig then said "If your going to lie to an all knowing spirit you should put some effort into it".
Shining then said "no lies were here with avatar the bridge between our worlds".
Hedwig then said "very well I will let you study my vast collection on one condition to prove your selves as learners you must tribute some knowledge".
Quibble then went up to him and pulled out a large book and said "Will this do?"
The Hedwig then said "very well" and took it under his wing.
Twilight then went up and said "I have an ancient water bending scroll".
Hedwig then said "good good" and took it under his wing.
Then Flash came up and pulled out a scroll and said "This Is a scroll wrote by avatar mist mane I found it at one of the temples".
Hedwig said "that will do nicely" and took it under his wing .
Then finally Shining went up and pulled out a small shield with inscriptions on it and said "this shield was given to me by the chief at the north pole it has inscriptions of water tribe history".
Twilight then asked "where do you keep that?"
Then Shining said "thats not important".
Hedwig then took it under his wing as well then said "enjoy the library".
Later they were looking around and Shining was finding maps and placing them in his bag then saw something under glass and read it aloud "the earth kingdoms darkest day it has a date at the top but nothing else".
He then slipped it out and placed it in his bag as Flash said "hey Shining where are you going"
Shining then said "to find out what happened on the earth kingdoms darkest day It sounds promising". But when they found the earth kingdoms section it was destroyed "no I need to know what happened on the earth kingdoms darkest day" 
Then one of the wolfs appeared and Quibble said "I think It trying to assist you".
Shining then said "can you help us" The wolf then nodded and lead them to a special room and saw it was a machine showing what happened on particular days.
Twilight then said "Shining set the dial to the date on the scroll". Shining did so and then it was night but red Twilight then said "what happened to the moon its turned red".
Flash then said "Its a blood moon".
Shining then said "of course earth benders lose there bending during a blood moon" later they tried a few other dates between then and Sombra's commit and when they found anther blood moon only a couple months away Shining said "yes a blood moon we have a way to stop the earth kingdom".
Then Hedwig came in and said "so you were looking for ways to win the war I new it all humans are the same thats it for this library time to go back to the spirit world".
Back outside rainbow and Scootaloo were siting on the sand when the library started sinking then they used air bending and together they were able to slow its sinking but as they were doing so sand riders appeared and captured Scale and they could not do anything about it Scootaloo said "sorry Scale as they dragged him away".
Back in the library they had made it to the tower part and started to climb out Twilight then yelled "quibble come on we have to go".
Quibble then said "Sorry but I'm staying".
Then they got out just as the library went down Flash looked around then asked Rainbow "were's Scale?" 
(TO BE CONTINUED)
> The desert
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flash and the group were in the desert and Flash said "How could you let them take Scale why didn't you stop them?"
Then Rainbow said "we couldn't the library was sinking and you guys were still in there".
Flash then said "well one of you could have come and get us I could have saved him".
Twilight then said "Flash were all worried about Scale but if were going to find him we need it get moving".
Flash then said "Fine but I'm going to find Scale" as he took off then the others started walking.
Over with Timber he and his uncle were riding on there ostrich horse when a bunch of strange men appeared out of the bushes riding giant lizards then Stygian said to one of them "oh its you guys nice to see you again".
Then Timber said "You know these guys?"
Stygian then said "they are the the ruff rhinos each one is an expert at a different weapon, they are also a skilled singing group".
Then one of them said "were not here to sing a song were here to apprehend fugitives".
Then Timber made the ground shake around them and knocked them off of there lizards then they were riding away threw the dust Stygian then said "nice to see old friends".
Then Timber said "To bad you don't have any old friends that don't want to hurt us".
Stygian then said "old friends that don't want to hurt us? thats it".
Back in the desert they had been walking for an hour and Scootaloo said "Twilight can I have some water?"
Twilight then said "sure but we had better conserve it" as she water bent a drink of it into all there mouths.
Shining then said "were drinking your bending water you used it on the swamp guy".
Rainbow then said "I thought It taste swampy".
Then Twilight said "sorry but its all we have".
Shining then spotted a cactus and said "not anymore" he ran over to it cut it open with his sword and drank its insides.
Twilight then said "Shining you shouldn't eat strange plants".
Shining then said "there's water trapped inside these and it very thirst quenching" then his mind blurred "drink cactus juice it will quench you its the best".
Twilight then grabbed it from his hand and said "ya I think you've had enough".
Then Rainbow said "can we get some of that cactus?"
Twilight then said "I don't thing thats a good idea".
Shining then said "Who lit Scoots on fire?" as ring tail drank some of the cactus juice and Twilight then face palmed.
Flash was flying over the desert yelling Scales name but found nothing he then yelled "no!" as he stomped his foot making fire go everywhere.
Back at the oasis Zephyr and Fire streak were talking with someone and he said "yes two blind girls one with rainbow hair and one with orange skin passed threw here a while back".
Zephyr then said "which way did they go".
The guy then said "into the desert chances are they didn't survive".
Fire streak then said "thats alright there wanted dead or alive".
Zephyr then said "thats not true I'm pretty sure there father wants them alive".
Then Fire streak looked at a post board and said "look earth kingdom want posters".
Zephyr then said "so?"
Fire streak then said "so look who just showed up" as he pointed at two guys entering a drink shop and they were the same guys on the poster.
Back in the desert the sun was going down as Flash came back to the others Twilight went over to him and said "Flash I know its hard but right now we need to focus on getting out of the desert".
Flash then said "how do we do that?"
Twilight then said "guys you got any ideas?"
Then Shining said "why don't we ask the circle birds?" as he pointed up at the buzzard wasps circling them.
Twilight then said "that's It Shining let me see the stuff you took from the library maybe they can guide us out of the desert" as she took his bag and pulled out a star map "will rest during the day and travel at night when its cooler" then noticed they were laying down "just try to get some sleep will try again later".
Back at the drink shop Timber said "no one here is going to help us there all just dirty wanderers".
Stygian then said "so are we" then saw someone with a pai sho board and said "aha I think we may have found our friend" then walked over to him.
Meanwhile Fire streak and Zephyr were watching them and Fire streak said "lets take them now".
But Zephyr grabbed his shoulder and said "wait this place is full of desperate people if they learn we are collecting a bounty we might have to fight to keep our prize just wait".
Stygian went over to the guy and said "may I have this game?"
The guy then said "first move belongs to the guest" Stygian then placed a white lotus in the middle and the guy said "I see you favor the white lotus gambit not many still do".
Stygian then said "those who still do can always find a friend".
They placed more peaces down and formed an image and then the guy said welcome brother the white lotus opens wide to those who know its secrets".
Timber then said "what are you old guys talking about?"
Stygian then said "I told you pai sho is more than just a game".
Fire streak then said "I'm not waiting all night I'm going to get those two" then walked over to them and said "Its over you two fugitives are coming with us"
The guy then said "oh so you think your going to capture them and collect all that gold".
Then everyone heard them and they had to fight them but when they finished the two disappeared. Back in the desert they were on the move when rainbow tripped on something and said "ow what was that?"
Scoots then said "lets dig it up and see" as she and rainbow air bent it up.
Twilight then said "Its a sand glider the air benders use and look its got some kind of compass on it we can use it to get out of here Rainbow and scoots can air bend it forward and I'll guide you".
Later they were gliding throw the desert and ended up at a big rock and found caves on it Shining then said "I think my heads starting to clear out the cactus juice then saw something on a wall and tasted it then said "uh! it taste like rotten penguin meat!"
Twilight then said "you've been high on cactus juice all day and then you lick something you found stuck in a cave!?"
Shining then said "what can I say I'm the adventures type".
Then Flash said "do you hear buzzing".
Scootaloo then said "ya your right it sounds like oh no we have to get out of here".
Right as they ran out buzzard wasps flew out and started to attack they tried to fight back but there were to many when a super strong wind blew them away and they saw the air gliders the leader then said "what is going on here you appear to have a sand glider from the looks of it you stole it from our camp".
Twilight then said "we didn't steal it we found it lost in the desert our dragon was stolen and were trying to get to Canterlot".
One of them then said "you dare accuse us of stealing while you are traveling on a stolen sand glider".
The leader then said "calm down son no one accused us of stealing they need help and we will give it to them".
The son then said "alright father".
Rainbow then said "I know that voice the son he's the one who stole Scale".
Shining then said "are you sure".
Rainbow then said "I never forget a voice".
Flash then said "you took Scale where is he what did you do to him?"
The leader then said "what did you do?"
Flashes eyes started glowing and a ring of fire appeared around him as he said "Wheres my Dragon?"
The son then said "I had no idea he belonged to the avatar I sold him to some traveling sales men hes probably in Canterlot by now they were going to sell him there".
Twilight ran over and hugged Flash trying to calm him down.
(TO BE CONTINUED)
> Journey to Canterlot part one the serpents pass
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

With Timber he and his uncle were headed for Canterlot to hide. Over with Flash they were swimming when Shining said "okay I've found our path from the looks of it there's only one path called the serpents pass".
Rainbow then said "are you sure thats the best way?"
Shining then said "Its the only way we have to get to canterlot".
Then a man called "excuse me but your going to canterlot as well?"
They looked and saw a couple and Twilight said "yes so your going to?"
The man then said "yes my name is Sunburst and were trying to get there before my wife Starlight has her baby".
Shining then said "great we can all travel threw the serpents pass together".
Starlight then said "the serpents pass!? why take that deadly path?"
Flash then asked "do you know anther way?"
Sunburst then said "you should come with us to the hidden port they take people to canterlot on boats and its hidden so the earth kingdom can't find it".
Twilight then said "that sounds great".
Later they were in the hidden cave and Flash went up to the lady at the desk and said "excuse me we would like five tickets for the boat to canterlot".
The lady then said "passports please".
Flash then said "no one said we would need passports".
The lady then said "no passports no tickets besides" she said looking at ring tail "no animals on the boat".
Rainbow then came up and said "stand aside my name is rainbow dash and I will need five tickets please" as she placed a document on the desk.
The lady then said "oh the golden seal of the winged tortoise it is my honer to serve anyone of the wealthy dash family".
Rainbow then said "It is your honer you see my sister and I are both blind and these three are our escorts".
The lady then said "but the animal".
Scootaloo then said "Is our seeing eye ferret".
Then the lady said "usually its only one ticket per passport but this document is so official I guess its worth five tickets" as she stamped them and gave them to Rainbow.
As they walked away Shining said "man we scammed her good".
Then Shining was grabbed by a female guard who said "passport and ticket please".
Shining then asked "did I do something wrong?"
The guard then said "oh I know your type handsome, makes muscles at himself in the mirror, and travels with the avatar".
Shining then raised an eyebrow and asked "have we meet before?"
The guard then said "you don't remember me well maybe you will remember this" then she kissed him.
Shining then said "Cadence! its you".
Cadence then hugged him and said "Shining its great to see you again".
Later when they meet up with the others and had Cadence up to speed Sunburst and Starlight came over and Sunburst said "Avatar! Please you have to help us!"
Flash then said "Whats wrong?"
Starlight then said "someone just robbed our tent we lost everything our money, our passports, our tickets everything 
its all gone".
Flash then said "Well there's no way that lady will help so there's only one option we will guide you though the serpents pass".
Later Shining said "I can't believe you sold our tickets".
Scootaloo then said "I cant believe your still complaining about it".
Then Cadence ran over to them wearing her makeup and Mist mane warrior dress and said "wait I'm coming with you guys".
Shining then asked "are you sure you want to Cadence I mean the serpents pass is incredibly dangerous I mean I know your a skilled warrior but only if your up for it".
Cadence then said "of course I'm up for it".
Later they arrived at the pass and Shining said "so this is the serpents pass I thought It would be more bendy like a serpent I guess they misnamed it".
Meanwhile on a boat headed for Canterlot Stygian said "I never would have thought I would return to the place of my biggest military failure" then he brightened up and said "as a tourist" as he put on a hat.
Timber then said "look around were not tourists were refugees" he then slurped soup from a bowl he had then spat it out "ugh I'm tired of eating rotten food and sleeping in the dirt".
Then a voice said "aren't we all?" Timber and Stygian turned around and saw a guy with yellow skin and blue hair "my name is Comet tail and these are my freedom fighters Dinky and Cheese sandwich here's the deal I hear the captains eating like a king while us refuges have to feed of of his scraps".
Stygian then asked "what kind of king is he eating like?"
Comet then said "the fat happy kind so you want to help us liberate some food?"
Timber looked at the the paper bowl he was holding then threw it in the water then said "I'm in".
Back with Flash and the others they were walking along the pass when Shining looked to the side and said "hey aren't those earth kingdom ships what are they doing here?"
Then Cadence said "from what I hear the earth kingdom has control of the east side of the river and that they don't want anyone finding out about something big there working on over at the other side".
Then some rock gave away and fell into the water Twilight then said "they spotted us run" as they started shooting lava rocks at them Flash used his air bending to blow the lava back.
Later at night with Timber he and Comet had made it into the captains quarters and had snatched chickens and pies then they got out quickly on a line that cheese shot up later they had given some of the food out and then started to eat Stygian then said "so your Dinky right I can't put my finger on it but that name sounds like I have heard it before".
Dinky then said "Okay".
Back with Flash they had set up camp and were resting but the next morning they were on there way again then they came up to a gap in the pass Twilight then said "Flash give me a hand" as they started to water bend a bubble and walk under water with everyone then right as they made it to the other side something came out of the water.
when they saw it Shining said "I Think I know now why they named it the serpents pass".
Flash then said "everyone run!" and they did so as Flash was shooting fireballs at the serpent.
Then Later everyone had gotten away and then they could see the mountain top city of Canterlot but starlight then got down in pain and Shining said "what's wrong?"
Starlight then said "the baby's coming".
Shining then said "what right now that's not good".
Twilight then said "don't worry I've helped my grandmother deliver many baby's back home Flash, Shining we need towels and warm water, Rainbow, Scoots see if you cane pitch a tent Cadence give me a hand".
Later it had happened and Rainbow said "So do you want to go see the baby or just sit around out here?"
Then Shining said "sure" as they went inside.	
Then they all went in and when Flash saw the baby he said "I have to say I've been having a hard time lately but you've made me hopeful again".
Starlight then said to Sunburst "I now know what to name our baby Sunlight Hope".
Sunburst then said "A beautiful name for a beautiful girl".
Later Cadence was heading back and Shining said "Cadence your leaving?"
Cadence then said "I only came to help you guys get through the serpents pass but now I need to get back o the other mist mane warriors also Shining I have to tell you..."
Shining then stopped her and kissed her full on the lips at first her eyes were open but they soon closed at the kiss over with Flash he said "well I'm gonna go ahead and look for Scale".
Twilight then said "good luck".
Flash flew up to the mountain then looked over and said "oh no" as he saw a giant machine with huge legs climbing the mountain "looks like scale will have to wait a little longer"
(TOBE CONTINUDE)
> Journey to canterlot part two the climber
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flash flew back to the others and Twilight said "Flash what are you doing I thought you went to find scale".
Flash then said "something came up come on".
Then they got to the mountain and Flash Rainbow and Scootaloo used air bending get them up there and Shining asked "so what so big that scale has to wait?"
Flash pointed to the climber and said "that".
Then Starlight said "we made it to Canterlot and were still not safe no one is".
Then a guard saw them and said "hey what are you doing here".
Flash then said "I'm the avatar take me to who ever is in charge here".
Over in the climbers cockpit the war general said "this climber is a great a great achievement in technology the city of Canterlot lays out of reach no more" he then turned around to gloriosa "once we reach the city you can claim the city in the name of your father".
Then night glider said "what about those air guys" as she looked threw a para scope.
The general then said "nonsense no air bending can damage the climber".
Gloriosa then said "understandable but just to be safe Night glider, Sunset you take them out".
Sunset then said "finally something to do".
Back with flash and friends they took them to the boss and he said "welcome avatar but your help is not needed"
Then Flash said "what?"
The boss then said "you see I already sent a team of skilled air benders to deal with it come see" as he walked over to the edge.
Air benders were trying to blow the climber off the mountain but then night glider came out and chi blocked them, shining then said "do you want the avatars help now?"
The boss then said "yes".
A couple minutes later Flash said "so how will we beat that thing?"
Then they all looked at Shining who then said "um why are you all looking at me?"
Flash then said "your the idea guy".
Meanwhile Timber and Stygian had arrived and the lady at the counter said "so Mr. Lee and Mr. Mushy"
Stygian then said "Actually its pronounced Moshi".
The Lady then said "okay well here" as she stamped there passports and handed them back to them.
Over with Comet he said "I think we could use a guy like lee on our team what do you think cheese?" Cheese looked then Comet said "I can respect that".
Back with Flash and friends Twilight was water healing one of the air benders and said "what happened to you?"
The air bender then said "we were attacked by a girl she didn't look dangerous but she gave me a few quick jabs and suddenly I couldn't air bend".
Twilight then said "Night glider she doesn't seem dangerous but she knows how the body works and can disable bending by hitting certain weak spots".
Shining then said "that's it will stop the climber the same way Night glider stopped these air benders".
Scootaloo then said "by hitting its weak spots".
Then Flash said "will take it down from the inside".
A few minutes later they were on the side of the mountain and Rainbow said "once Scoots and I create some cover you wont be able to see so stay close to us" then they blew up dust and the team ran into it.
Back in the cockpit Night glider saw the dust cloud throw the para scope and said "wow look at that puffy cloud".
The general then said to Gloriosa "no worries princess I'm sure its nothing".
Flash's group then got under the climber and Shining said "up there" as he pointed to an open panel they climbed in "Rainbow, Scoots come on".
Rainbow then said "there's now way were going in there".
Then Scootaloo said "Were gonna try and slow it down out here".
Shining then nodded and they started to blow huge gusts to try and knock it down inside the climber shining said "I need some kind of plans you know blue prints of how this thing works".
Then Shining took his sword and cut a pipe witch made the room fill with steam and Twilight said "Shining what are you doing someone could catch us".
Then Shining said "I think a machine this big would need engineers to run it so if something brakes".
Twilight then said "then they come to fix it".
A few minutes later worker came in holding a wrench and blueprints but then Twilight used her water bending on the steam to freeze him then Shining grabbed the blueprints from his hand and said "Thank you" as they ran out.
When they looked at the plans Flash said "so what's the plan".
Shining then said "It looks like the climber is made of two main parts the inner mechanism were we are now and the outer shell the inner part and the outer part are connected by these braces if we cut through them the whole thing will collapse".
Then Flash said "lets do it".
Back With Timber he and his uncle were sitting waiting for the train then Comet came over to them and said "so do you have plans for once your inside the city?"
Then a man came by and said "get your hot tea here best tea in Canterlot".
Stygian then said "oh jasmine please" the man then gave him a stone cup and poured the tea into it then walked away stygian took a sip then spit it out and said "coldest tea in Canterlot is more like it what a disgrace".
Then comet said to Timber "hey can I talk to you for a second" they walked over to the side and he said "you and I have a much better chance of surviving in the city if we stick together you wanna join our team?"
Timber then said "thank but I don't think you would want someone like me on your team".
Then Timber walk back to his uncle and Comet said "fine have it your way" Then saw stygian had hot tea and grew mad as he turned around and walked away.
Then Timber nocked the tea out of stygian hands and said "what are you doing lava bending your tea for a wise old man that was a pretty stupid move".
Stygian then said "I know you should not cry over spilt tea but its just so sad".
Back with Flash and friends they made it to the area with the braces and shining said "well you two should probably start cutting".
Twilight then pulled the water out of her canteen and she and Flash started to cut through after an hour they got through but Flash said "this is taking to long we need to think of something wait I know back when I was young my fire bending teacher told me you shouldn't use up all your strength at once you need to weaken your opponent then send in the final blow come on".
They started cutting them almost all the way then after an hour they cut through ten more up in the cockpit the general said "yes Canterlot will soon belong to the earth kingdom".
Then someone came on the radio and said "general one of the engineers was ambushed and his blueprints for the climber were stolen".
Then the general's jaw dropped when another one came on and said "general the support brace on the starboard side has been cut clean threw".
Gloriosa then said "come on girls lets go deal with this".
Back with Flash and friends they had just cut the final one they needed when lava when flying past them they looked up and saw Gloriosa and her friends and night glider said "you were right gloriosa it is the avatar and his friends".
Flash then said "come on lets get out of here" then they ran "you guys find a way out I'm gonna go give the final blow".
Twilight then said "Wait" as she tossed her canteen to him "you need this water more than I do".
Then they ran out Gloriosa said "you two follow them the avatar is mine".
Twilight and Shining then came up to a hatch and Twilight said "what's this?" as Shining opened it.
Shining then said "Its water it must be how they cool the engine it means our way out" as they both jumped in.
Then Sunset and Night glider came over and saw them in the water sunset then said "eww smells like motor oil".
Night glider then said "you heard Gloriosa we have to catch them".
Sunset then said "she can throw all the lava she wants to at me I am not getting in that stink water". Night glider then jumped in after them and sunset closed the hatch.
Twilight and Shining the came out the water release at the back of he climber then Night glider almost made it but twilight used her water bending to hold her up there then said "try blocking my chi now circus freak".
Shining then said "Hey Twilight keep that up the presser will build in the climber and when Flash gives the final blow it will be ready to pop".
Flash had just reached the top and said "well I better get started" as he bent the water out of the canteen and started cutting.
Back with Twilight and Shining Rainbow and Scootaloo came over and Rainbow said "need some help"
Twilight then said "girls use your air bending to help me" Rainbow and Scootaloo then blew air into the pipe pushing the water and night glider further in.
Back with Flash he had made a big enough dent to for the next part and said "now I just need to do one more thing" then a big rock landed next to him and he said "that could help" he the used air bending to push the rock over to the hole he made and used the water to cut it into a stake shape then used fire bending to fly into the air then rocket down just as gloriosa came out she tried to stop him but he was to fast he pushed the rock in and Gloriosa went flying away as the braces inside the climber broke apart.
Back with the others Rainbow then said "here it comes" as she and scootaloo used air bending to fly them out of there and the water came poring out with Night glider the climber then stopped and started falling of the mountain all the earth benders and other got out of the climber with parachutes and the air benders blew them away. Gloriosa then met up with Night glider and Sunset and sunset said "we lost".
Back with Timber he and Stygian were getting on a train into the lower city with Comet and his friends Dinky then said "Comet relax so the old man had hot tea what's the big deal".
Comet then said "he heated It himself those guys are earth benders".
On the train Stygian was sitting next to starlight and her family then said "what a beautiful girl".
Starlight then said "Thank you".

Flash and his group were on a train heading into the city when Twilight said "don't worry Flash will find him".
Then Shining said "hey don't jinx it we might be attacked by some kind of earth kingdom fork or something".
Rainbow then said "you haven't been doing cactus juice again have you?"
Shining then said "hey weird stuff tends to happen to us" then a big guy sat between them while sucking on a pineapple.
Then Flash said "Its a big city he could be anywhere".
Shining then said "he's a giant dragon how could they hid him" then they got to the upper part of the city and when Shining saw how big it was he said "oh never mind".
When they arrived at the station Scootaloo said "what do ya know were back in the city".
Twilight then said "what's wrong with that".
Then Rainbow said "its just a city of rules you will get sick of it soon".
Flash then took out his dragon whistle and blow it then said "I'm coming for you buddie" then twilight walked over and put a hand on his shoulder and he said "he's here I can feel it".
Then a woman with a creepy smile came up to them and said "hi I am Angel wings I will be your guide while you are here you must be the avatar along with Twilight, Shining, Rainbow and Scootaloo".
Shining then said "Good we need to talk to the air leader right away we have important information about the earth kingdom that he needs to see".
Angel wings than said "great lets begin our tour then I will show you your new home" then turned around.
Shining then said "maybe I wasn't clear we have to see the air leader about the war".
Angel wings then said "your in Canterlot now everyone is safe here" Later they were in a carriage and Angel wings said "this is the lower city were the newcomers live and also were the blacksmiths and carpenters live people that work with there hands".
Twilight then said "why are all these poor people blocked off from the rest of the city".
Then Flash said "this is why I never came here its so different then what the elders taught me".
Over with Timber his uncle came up next to him carrying flowers and said "I just want our new place to look nice incase someone brings home a lady friend".
Timber then said "I don't want to make a life here".
Stygian then said "life happens wherever you are now come on I got us some new jobs and we start later today".
A little ways behind them was Comet and he said "look at them earth benders living under everyone's nose's we have to do something".
Then Dinky said "I thought we were starting over".
Comet then said "we are and that is why once I have the evidence I need I will alert the authorities and let them handle it".
Dinky then said "well okay".
Back with Flash Angel wings said "this is the upper city home of the shopping center and university".
Shining then said "ya we met a guy Canterlot university he took us to a giant library where we got information that the air leader has to see!"
Angel wings then said "isn't history fascinating look this is on of the oldest building in the upper city town hall".
Then Shining said "is that woman deaf she seems to only hear ever other word I say".
Scootaloo then said "its called being handled get used to it".
Back with Timber he and Stygian they were at there new job and the guy who owned the place said "well you both look like tea servers how do you feel?"
Stygian said "we feel great".
The boss then said "well then here have a cup of tea while I get thing ready" as he poured tea into two cups then went to the back.
Stygian took a sip then winced and said "this tea is nothing more then hot leaf juice".
Timber then face palmed and said "uncle that's what all tea is".
Stygian then said "how could a member of my own family say something so horrible" then he grabbed the tea pot and said "we will have to make some major changes around here" as he dumped the tea out the window but didn't notice comet was watching them.
Back with Flash Angel wings said "this is where the more important people live".
Twilight then said "what's behind that wall?"
Shining then saw strange guys in black robes and said "and who are those guys?" as he pointed to them.
Angel wings then said "inside is the royal palace and those people are agents of the shadow bolts the authority of Canterlot".
Flash then said "ya can we see the leader now".
Angel wings then said "oh no one doesn't just pop in on the air leader". Later they arrived at a building and Angel wings said "here we are your new home" later inside the building she said "isn't it nice I'm sure you will enjoy it here".
Shining then said "we would enjoy it more if we weren't staying so long is there anyway we can see the air leader sooner".
Angel wings then said "the air leader has a lot on his hands running the finest city in the world but he will see you as soon as time permits".
Later at night with Timber he and his uncle were at there new apartment and stygian said "would you like a pot of tea?"
Timber then said "we worked in a tea shop all day I'm sick of tea".
Stygian then said "what being sick of tea is like being sick of breathing now where are our spark rocks to light the coal and heat up the water".
Outside Comet was watching them and said "there not there old man your going to have to lava bend".
Stygian then walked away for a minute then came back and said "the neighbors let me borrow there's very nice people as he lit the coal".
The next morning with Flash Twilight had walked outside to get the morning paper when she looked at it she saw something that gave her an idea then ran inside and said "guys I know how were going to see the air leader according to this paper the air leader is having a party for his pet bear".
Flash then said "you me platypus bear?"
Twilight then said "no it just says bear".
Scootaloo then said "you mean armadillo bear?"
Then shining said "or skunk bear?"
Rainbow then "gofer bear?"
Then Twilight said "it just says bear".
Rainbow then said "this place is weird".
Twilight then said "the palace will be packed we can slip in with the crowd".
Scootaloo then said "won't work".
Then Twilight said "why not?"
Rainbow then said "well no offence to you simple country folk but a real society crowd would spot you a mile away you've got no manners".
Twilight then said "what I've got no manners nether of you two are lady fancy fingers".
Scootaloo the belched then said "we learned proper manners and choose to leave them you never learned anything and its a little to late".
Then Shining said "but wait you learned it maybe you could teach it to Twilight you three can slip in there then let me and Flash in".
Rainbow then said "meh what the heck its worth a shot".
Later at night Back with Timber Comet was watching from outside when Dinky and Cheese came over and Dinky said "you know I think you going overboard with this".
Then Comet said "if you don't want to help me I will get the evidence on my own".
Inside the shop Stygian and Timber were serving tea when comet came in and said "I'm tired of waiting these two are earth benders!" as he pulled out his hook swords "your going to have to defend yourself".
Then Timber pulled out twin katanas and said "you want a show I'll give you a show".
Back with the others Twilight, Rainbow, and Scootaloo were dressed for the event and at the entrance and Rainbow held up her family document and said "I believe this will do".
The guard then said "no invitation no entry step out of the line please".
They did so Then Twilight saw a guy who looked important so they went up to him and Twilight said "excuse me sir but our family is already inside but my cousin here lost our invitation she and her sister are both blind can you help us".
The guy the said "I am honored come with me" when they got inside he said "its beautiful isn't It by the way I am Caballeron I'm a minister now where is you family I'd love to meet them".
Twilight then said "oh I don't see them yet but I'm sure will run into them soon".
Then Caballeron said "please it would be dis honorable to leave you three young ladies without finding your parents first".
Outside Shining said "where are they looks like we need a backup plan".
Flash then said "how about we slip in with those guys" as he pointed to men and woman going in with food.
Shining then said "good idea".
Back with Timber he was fighting Comet who said "you must be getting tired using those sword come on earth bend"
Then Stygian said to Comet "son please think about what your doing".
Then Timber kept on battling him.
Back with Flash Shining said "keep an eye out for the leader".
Flash then said "I don't know what he looks like".
Then Shining said "you know tall and regal looking"
Rainbow then said "Wow you guys made it".
Flash then said "Rainbow how did you find us?"
Then Scoots said "we know your breathing anywhere".
Then Twilight came up and said "Guys".
Shining then said sarcastically "Thanks for letting us in".
Twilight then said "sorry but the guy who escorted us in wont let us out of his sight"
Shining then asked "what guy?"
Twilight then looked and saw he was gone then Angel wings came over and said "what are you doing here you have to leave now or we will all be in big trouble".
She then tried pushing them but Shining said "now until we see the leader".
Angel wings then said "you don't understand you must go" as she pushed them again causing Flash to spill tea on a lady.
Flash then said "sorry let me help" as he air bent her dry his sleeve ripped and she saw the mark on his arm.
The lady then said "No one said the avatar would be here then many people in the crowd looked and Angel wings frowned.
Shining then said "you keep there attention while I look for the leader".
Flash then said "watch this everybody" as he fire bent him self into the air and on to a table where he water bent drinks into the air everyone was in aw.
Back with Timber the shadow bolts had arrived and one of them said "stop drop your weapons".
Comet then said "arrest them there earth benders".
Stygian then said "this poor boy is confused we are just refugees".
The owner of the tea show then said "this man trashed my tea show and attacked my employees".
Then one of two nearby guards said "its true sir we saw the whole thing he attacked the best tea maker in the city".
Stygian then said "oh your to kind" Then they arrested Comet. 
Back with Flash they carried in the air leader on a large covered chair but then the shadow bolts got Flash and his friends and took them into the back where the saw Caballeron who said "you know it was a bad idea getting into the party Angel wings take them home".
Then a woman who looked nothing like angel wings came in and twilight asked "what happened to angel wings?"
The woman then said "I'm angel wings".

> Scales lost days
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Flashback)
After the sand riders took Scale the leader said "ransack his saddle who knows what valuables are in it" they did so and found nothing "the guy then said no problem will still make a good bit when we sell him to those merchants".
They took him to the merchants and one of them said "hmm we I'm someone in Canterlot would pay nicely for him" then handed the leader a chest with there payment.
Scale tried to fly away but they shoot him with darts that knocked him out and the other merchant said "we have to get rid of this one he's to wild".
Later Scale woke up in a cage at a circus and the tamer said "wow its amazing whoever your first owner was they had no idea how to tame you but when I'm done you will brake later scale was alone trying to get a bale of hay the a kid walked by and saw it so she went over pushed the hay over to him so he could eat then she left as scale ate the hay the tamer then walked in with the ring master and said "he's not ready I need a few more days".
The ring master then said "a few more days we don't have that kind of time I want the fire lizard to preform tonight" as he walked out.
The tamer then said "you had better behave tonight or you will regret it".
Later the show started but when the ring master called him out scale shoot fire at him and flew away but still had chains on his arms and legs, Scale went back to the desert where It last saw Flash but the library was gone so after awhile he flew off again and felt hungry but then smelt something in a cave on a rock then flew in then came out chased but buzzard wasps which he chased away by breathing fire at them, then he licked the stuff off of his claws. Later at night he found an old barn and went inside where he found a barrel of water which he drank and a pile of hay that he ate then fell asleep and dreamt about how he met Flash. As a young dragon he was with his siblings and mother and fire benders were near Smart was there and she said "choose carefully a dragon is a companion for life" as she handed the young fire benders fish for the dragons.
Flash then went up to Scale and gave him the fish which scale ate and then licked Flash and Flash said "I guess this means will always be together".
Then Scale woke up to a guy screaming "AAA its some kind of monster" as he held up a pitchfork.
Scale then roared and flew threw the roof of the barn later he flew over a boat and stygian saw him and gasped Timber then woke up and said "uncle what is it did you see something?"
Stygian then said "no just go back to sleep".
Scale then landed near a cave and laid down but then a large animal with quills came out of the cave and attacked him which Scale then chased away by breathing fire but he had quills in his body and could not remove them himself so scale flew up and rested in the cave for three days later the Mist mane warriors were collecting fruit when one of them found some scales on the ground and said "wow must have been some fight".
Then Cadence saw what she was holding and said "wait Amethyst let me see that" as she handed it to her then Cadence looked around and said "no it couldn't be" she the climbed up a hill and gasped when she saw him in the cave "Scale oh no" Scale then got up an backed away cadence then said "its gonna be okay Scale I have to leave but I'll be back soon with help" as she left some food on the ground for him. She went back and got the other Mist mane warriors and brought them there "now be careful he's been lost for a while and looks like he's hurt he might be a little scared approach him gently".
Then one of them said "I can't believe you found the avatars dragon didn't you see the avatar a few days ago".
Cadence then said "yes so he can't be to far away returning Flash's dragon to him may be the most important mission we've had yet" when they all went up there Scale backed away in fear "give him some space Scale its me Cadence I want to help you" then Scale finally calmed down.
Later they got the chains and quills off of him when suddenly a lava disk flew over and hit a tree making it fall then Gloriosa and her friends came up she held up a scale and said "your just to easy to find".
Then The mist mane warriors pulled out there fans and shields and Cadence said "what do you want with us?"
Gloriosa then said "who are you the avatars fan girls?"
Night glider then said "oh I get it good one gloriosa".
Then cadence said "If your looking for the avatar your out of luck".
Sunset then said "Ugh I told you this was a waste of time".
Gloriosa then said "no avatar that's fine any friend of the avatar is an enemy of mine" As she started to shoot metal cables at them they tried to fight back but couldn't beat them.
Cadence then said "Scale you have to get out of here" Scale was hesitant but then flew off.
Scale flew all the way to the eastern fire city where he had flash backs of it then saw someone meditating and went up to lick him but didn't recognize him the guy then said "hello I am guru Sandal wood" then Scale backed up and he said "I know I am no who you were hoping to find but I was not expecting to be licked by a giant toing life is full of unexpected things" he waited until scale fell asleep then got up went over to him and placed a hand on him "oh dear you've been through so much recently hmm your still full of love but fear has moved in were trust should be I have been expecting you and the avatar for a long time I have been living here waiting for you" The next night Scale went over to him and he said "I have prepared a message for Flash may I tie it to your horn?" Scale the turned his head so the guru could tie it there then after he did he said "you and the avatar have an unbreakable bond your spirts are connected with this I can help you find him" as he placed his hand on scale and saw where Flash was "I will see you again my friend then scale Flew to Canterlot where he thought he heard Flashes whistle but when he got to the source he saw it wasn't Flash then a fire proof net fell on him and a trap door opened below him.

> Lake Laogai
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shining, Rainbow ,and Scootaloo were sitting around when Twilight and Flash came in and Twilight said "guys we found a printer for the lost Scale poster".
Shining then said "well lets do it".
Later Flash was flying over head dropping flyers while the others were putting up posters. With Timber he and his uncle were working in the tea shop and then one of the costumers said "so your the genus behind this incredible brew I hope your boss pays you well".
Stygian then said "good tea is its own reward".
Then the guy said "but it doesn't have to be the only reward how would you like to have your own tea shop?"
Stygian then said "my own tea shop this is a dream come true for me".
Then the owner of the shop came over and said "what's going on are you trying to take my tea maker?"
The guy then said "sorry pal but that's business for you" then Looked at stygian and said "The tea shop is yours to do whatever it is you like compete creative freedom and I'll provide you with an apartment in the upper city".
Stygian then said "I even get to name the shop" he then handed the tea pot he was holding to the boss and shook hands with the guy then looked at Timber and said "nephew did you hear this man wants to give us our own tea shop in the upper city".
The guy then said "that's right young man your life is about to change for the better".
Timber then said sarcastically "excuse me while I try to contain myself" then walked outside and found one of the flyers Flash was sending out.
Later with Flash he had returned to the house they were staying at and he said "I just finished dropping the flyers has anyone come with news about scale".
Twilight then said "Well its only been a day you need to wait a little longer".
Flash then sat down and two minutes later there was a knock on the door Flash went over and opened it to see it was Angel wings who said "hello Flash, Twilight, Shining, Rainbow, and Scootaloo".
Shining then said "what happened to you did the shadow bolts throw you in jail?"
Angel wings then said "jail no the shadow bolts are our protectors I simply took a short vacation to lake laogai"
Twilight then said "but they replaced you with a woman who also said her name is Angel wings".
Angel wings then said "I'm Angel wings".
Flash then said "why are you here".
Then Angel wings took out one of there flyers and said "handing out flyers and putting up posters is not permitted within the city not with out clearance".
Shining then said "we can wait around for permission on every thing".
Angel wings then said "you are forbidden by the rules of the city to put up more posters".
Then Flash got mad and said "We don't care about the rules and were not asking permission we are going to find Scale on our own and you should stay out of our way!" as he slammed the door.
Shining then said "that might come back to bite us".
Flash then said "I don't care from now on we do whatever it takes to find Scale".
Then Scootaloo said "ya lets brake some rules" than she and Rainbow broke three windows with air bending.
Later with Caballeron he said "I'm upset with your work with the avatar and his friends Angel wings I had hoped you would be able to control the situation".
Angel wings then said "I'm sorry but they don't trust me anymore I don't think I can keep working like this".
Caballeron then said "Angel wings The air leader has invited you to lake laogai".
Then Angel wings eyes grew and she said "I am honored to accept his invitation".
Caballeron then said "good now go await further orders" she then left "if the avatar continues to search for his dragon it could disrupt the balance we worked so hard to achieve It could even cost us control of the air leader".
One of the Shadow bolts then said "shall we take care of them".
Caballeron then said "no its much to dangerous to confront him directly lets see if we can still handle this quietly".
Back with Timber his uncle was packing things and he said "I was thinking about names for my tea shop how about the Jasmin dragon its poetic and has a nice ring to it".
Then Timber show him the flyer and said "the avatar is here in Canterlot and he's lost his dragon".
Stygian then took the flyer and said "we have a chance for a new life here but if you stir up trouble you will ruin all the good things happening to us".
Timber then said "good things that are happening to you have you ever thought that I want more than to live in an apartment and a job serving tea".
Stygian then said "there is nothing wrong with a life of piece and prosperity I suggest you start thinking about what it is you want from life".
Timber then said "I want my destiny".
Stygian then said "what that means is up to you".
Back with Flash the group was putting up posters and Shining said "will spilt up and cover more ground Rainbow, Scoots why don't you two just come with me".
Rainbow then said "why you think we cant put up posters" she then took the brush put glue on the wall then slapped a poster on then said "its upside down isn't it will just go with shining".
They spit up and Twilight was putting posters on a wall when comet came and said "twilight" She then looked around and saw him with a gasp and he said "I think I can help you" Twilight then attacked him with water bending but he said as he pulled out his hook swords "twilight I've changed" as she pushed him into an ally.
Twilight then said "tell it to some other girl Comet" as she threw ice at him.
Comet blocked the ice with his hook swords and then said "I don't want to fight you I'm here to help" then he put down his hook swords and reached behind his back but Twilight then trapped him with ice shards.
Then the others came up and Shining said "Twilight what is it?"
Twilight then said "Comet is back we can't trust anything he says".
Then Shining said "But we don't even know why he's here".
Twilight then said "whatever it is it cant be good".
Comet then said "I'm here to help you find Scale" as he reviled he was holding one of there flyers.
Flash then said "Twilight we have to give him a chance".
Comet then said "I swear I've changed I was a troubled person and I let my anger get the better of me but I don't even have the gang now I've put all that behind me".
Twilight then said "your lying".
Then rainbow went up to him and placed her hand on his chest then said "he's not lying".
Shining then said "how can you tell?"
Rainbow then said "when someone lies there heart rate and breathing increase Scoots and I learned how to sense these changes he's telling the truth".
Flash then said "Twilight we don't have any leads if Comet says he can take us to scale we have to trust him".
Twilight then sighed and said "alright but were not letting you out of our sight".
Later he had lead them to a large building and he said "this is the place I heard about".
Flash then said "there's nothing here".
Then Twilight said "if this is a trap".
Comet then said "I told you I work nearby I heard some guys talk about how they had some big fiery lizard I figured it must be Scale".
Scootaloo then said "he was here" as she held up a dragon scale.
They went to her and Flash said "we missed him".
Then a guy with a broom said "they took that thing yesterday shipped him out to some island bout time I've been cleaning up scales and various droppings all day".
Flash then said "What island?"
"Forman said some rich royal type bought him on whale tail island probably for a zoo or something or could be the meat be good".
Flash flinched and said "we have to get to whale tail island um where is that?"
Then shining pulled out a map and said "far very far" he put down the map and said "here it is its near the south pole almost all the way back home".
Twilight then said "Flash it will take us weeks just to get to the tip of the air nation then will have to find a boat".
Flash then said "I don't care we have a chance to find Scale we have to try".
Then the guy with the broom said "must be nice to visit an island I haven't had a vacation for years".
Twilight then said "don't you have more droppings to clean up".
He then said "okay I got it no more need for old sweepy".
Twilight then said "your right Flash right now we need to find Scale".
Shining then said "okay lets get moving"
Comet then said "I'll come with you".
Twilight then said "we don't need your help".
Later they were walking down town when Dinky and Cheese came out behind them and saw them then Dinky said "Comet!"
Twilight looked back and saw them then said "I thought you said you didn't have you gang anymore".
Comet then said "I don't".
Dinky then hugged Comet and said "we were so worried how did you get away from the Shadow bolts?"
Twilight then said "The Shadow bolts!?"
Dinky then said "He got arrested a week ago".
Comet then said "Why would I be arrested I've been living in the city peacefully".
Then Rainbow and Scoots put the hands on there chests then gave each other a confused look before Rainbow said "this doesn't make sense there both telling the truth".
Twilight then said "but that's impossible".
Shining then said "no its not Rainbow and Scootaloo can't tell who's lying because the both think there telling the truth Comet has been brain washed".
Later at night a Shadow bolt was walking through town when someone in a blue mask ran into he chased after him into an ally then thought he saw him so he air bent so hard it nocked the head of but he saw it was just a scarecrow then the real guy in a mask dropped behind him and held a sword at his neck then said "if you don't want to end up like that guy you will do what I say".
Back with Flash they were all in a room and Twilight said "The shadow bolts must have sent comet to mislead us and that janitor was part of there plan to".
Flash then said "I bet they have Scale here in the city maybe he's in the same place they took Comet were did they take you".
Comet then said "I don't know what your talking about".
Flash then said "we need to find a way to jog his memory".
Then Twilight said "try to think of something from your pasted that triggers you emotions like the earth kingdom remember what they did to your family".
Comet tried but then said "I can't its to painful".
Twilight then said "maybe this will help" as she used her healing abilities on his head he then remembered.
Comet then said "yes I remember they have a secret base at a lake".
Then Shining said "wait remember what Angel wings said she went to lake laogai".
Comet then said "yes that's it lake laogai".
The next morning they arrived at the lake and shining said "so now what" as he leaned on a tree branch but the branch then moved and then a rock moved reviling a tunnel.
Flash then said "nice work shining".
They went in carefully and Comet said "come on I think there's a room up ahead big enough to hold Scale".
With Scale the door to the room he was in opened and a guy in a mask came in and said "now I've got you".
Then stygian walked in and said "what do you know the blue spirit I wonder who's behind that mask Timber".
Timber then took off the mask and said "what are you doing here".
Then Stygian said "I could ask you the same thing so you captured the avatars dragon what do you plan to do".
Timber then said "I will use him to find the avatar its my destiny".
Stygian then said "is it your destiny or a destiny someone chose for you?"
Timber then said "stop it uncle I have to do this".
Stygian then said "I'm begging you prince Timber its time to look inward and begin asking yourself big questions who are you and what do you want?"
Back with Flash they reached a big room but there was nothing in it until Caballeron appeared and said "you have made yourselves enemy's of Canterlot capture them".
Then many Shadow bolts appeared and attacked but they fought back Caballeron tried to get away but Comet and Flash chased after him. When they had him cornered he snapped his fingers and comet started to attack Flash and Flash said "Comet what are you doing?"
Caballeron then said "he doesn't have a choice attack him".
Flash then said "comet I'm your friend look into your heart".
Caballeron then said "take him out" but then comet stopped and broke free from his control then threw one of his hook swords at him but he moved out of the way and shoot a strong gust of air at him that sent him flying into a wall then he ran away.
Then the others came in and Twilight tried to heal him she said "this isn't good".
Dinky then said "you guys go find scale will take care of Comet".
Then Twilight said "We can't leave you here".
Then cheese said "there's no time just go will take care of him he's our leader".
Then they ran out and found the room were Scale was but he was gone then shining noticed something about the chains they weren't opened they were broken by a metal bender they got outside but were soon trapped by Shadow bolts then Flash noticed ring tail was acting weird and said "Ring tail what is it" ring tail then pointed to a shadow coming from the sun and they saw who it was "Scale!" Scale then shoot fire and took out most of the air benders then Caballeron said I can handle you my self as he jumped up to kick him but Scale got his leg in his teeth and throw him into the water then spat out a shoe then the gang when up and hugged him Flash then said "I missed you so much buddie".
They then escaped on Scale then Timber and his uncle came out and Stygian said "you did the right thing" then Timber took out his mask and Stygian said "leave it behind" and Timber threw it into the water.
(TO BE CONTINUED)
> The air leader
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flash and friends were on an Island in the lake Flash was hugging Scale and said "I missed you more than you would ever know".
Shining then said "Look guys we escaped the shadow bolts we got Scale back we should go see the air leader and tell him our plan were on a role".
Twilight then said "one good hour after a week of trouble isn't much of a role".
Then Shining said "We can build on it If we want to invade the earth kingdom when the blood moon happens we need the air leaders support".
Scootaloo then said "what make you think will get it things don't usually go that well for us".
Shining then said "I know but I've got a good feeling about this".
Then Twilight said "Shining Caballeron still has control over the city his conspiracy with the shadow bolts is to powerful I think we should just keep flying and leave this horrible place behind us".
Rainbow then said "I agree with sweetness I've seen enough of this city and I can't even see".
Then Flash came over and said "but now that we have Scale back there's nothing stopping us from telling the air leader the truth about the conspiracy and the war".
Then Shining said "see Flash is with me its the whole reason we came here in the first place we have to try".
Twilight then said "well if the air leader knew things could change".
Then Scootaloo said "I don't trust the knew positive Shining Caballeron brainwashed you didn't he".
Then they got on Scale and took off to the palace while they were flying Twilight said "Can we please get a new saddle riding bare back is terrifying".
They then arrived at the palace and shining said "okay that whole area is the palace the air leaders place is in the center"
Twilight then said "be careful Caballeron probably warned the leader that we were coming"
Then Shining said "what makes you say that".
Then sharp logs were shot up at them and Rainbow said "look out". They kept avoiding the logs then Flash air bend and blew the guards onto there backs they landed and kept on fighting making there way to the center they made it up into the building and Shining was opening random doors trying to find the air leader while the others were fighting off the guards.
Back with Timber they had returned to there apartment and Stygian said "you did the right thing letting the avatars dragon go free".
Then Timber said "I don't feel right" then he fell to the floor.
Stygian then ran to him and said "Timber".
Back with Flash shining saw a big door and said "now that is one impressive door its got to go somewhere" then tried to open it but couldn't rainbow and scoot then knocked it down with air bending and Shining said "a little warning would have been nice".
Then they got up and saw the air leader surrounded by guards and Shadow bolts and standing next to him was Caballeron and his pet bear. Flash then said "we need to talk to you".
Caballeron then said "there here to over throw you".
Shining then said "no were on your side were here to help".
Then Twilight said "you have to trust us".
the air leader then said "you invade my place lay waste to all my guards brake down my fancy door and you expect me to trust you".
Scootaloo then said "he has a good point".
The air leader then said "if your on my side you will drop your weapons and stand down" they did so but when they did chains flew over and trapped them.
Then Caballeron said "make sure the avatar and his friends never see the light of day".
Then the air leader said "wait the avatar? your the avatar?" as he pointed to shining.
Shining then said "um no he is".
Flash then said "over here".
Caballeron then said "what does it matter my leader there enemies of the state".
The air leader then said "maybe your right" then his pet bear went over and licked Flashes face "but Smokey seems to like him I will hear what he has to say".
Then Flash said well sir there's a war going on for the past one hundred years in fact the Shadow bolts have kept it secret from you its a conspiracy to control the city and to control you".
The air leader then said "a secret war that's crazy".
Flash then said "Caballeron didn't want us to tell you so he kidnapped our dragon to blackmail us and that is the least of his crimes he brainwashed our friend".
Caballeron then said "all lies I've never even seen a dragon frankly I thought they were extinct".
The air leader then said "your claim is difficult to believe even from an avatar".
Caballeron then said "these kids are part of a crime gang my troops have been hunting for months".
The air leader then said "I have to trust my adviser".
Then shining said "wait we can prove he's lying he said seen a dragon ask him to lift his robe".
Caballeron then said "what I am not disrobing".
Then rainbow blow a strong wind that lifted his robe reviling a mark on his leg and Flash said "there Scale bit him".
Then Caballeron said "that happens to be a large birth mark thanks for showing it".
The air leader then said "Well I guess there's no way to prove were those marks came from".
Shining then said "actually there is".
Then they had scale in the room and shown his teeth and then the mark on Caballeron's leg and the air leader then said "yep that petty much proves it but it doesn't prove this conspiracy theory but I suppose its a matter worth looking into".
Back with Timber he was lying in bed and said "I'm really thirsty" then Stygian gave him some water "what's happening to me".
Stygian then said "what you did down there messed up your alignments so now you are at war within your on mind it will not be a pleasant experience but when it is over you will feel great".
Back with Flash they were on a train and the air leader said "so this is what a train is like I didn't know it would be this public".
Twilight then said "so you've never been outside the upper city before?"
The air leader then said "I've never been outside the palace" then pointed out the window at Flash riding Scale and said "now that's the way to travel so may I ask where were going".
Shining then said "lake laogai sir to the shadow bolts secret base your about to see where all the brain washing happens" They got to the Lake but when they moved the branch making the rock move the cave had been collapsed shining then said "oh no they destroyed it".
Flash then said "wait we can still prove it if we go to the bottom of the city".
The air leader then said "I don't know".
Then Shining said "If you come with us you can ride on Scale this time".
A few minutes later he was riding on Scale a little scared and Twilight asked "your first time flying?"
He then said "Its both thrilling and terrifying at the same time you know I have to be honest with you a part of me hopes what your telling me about this war isn't true".
Then Flash said "I wish it wasn't" Later they arrived below the mountain and Flash said "right down there".
The air leader saw it and said "what is that?"
Shining then said "a giant machine the earth kingdom was using to climb the mountain and attack the city".
Later they were back on the outer circle and the air leader said "I can't believe I never knew".
Then Caballeron came over and said "I can explain this my leader this is nothing more than a building project".
Twilight then said "oh really then can you explain why there's an earth kingdom mark on it".
Caballeron then said "well its imported of course you know you can't trust your own technology surely you believe your trusted adviser over these kids".
The air leader then said "Shadow bolts arrest Caballeron I want him to stand trial for all he's done".
They did so and Shining said "ha looks like Caballeron is Caballer gone I've been waiting to use that one".
Later they were back at the palace and the air leader said "I want to thank you kids for opening my eyes all this time we've been at war for one hundred years".
Shining then said "That's why we came to Canterlot sir we need your help to end the war".
Flash then said "we don't have much time a comet is coming soon and it will give the earth kingdom incredible strength".
Shining then said "but there is hope before the comet there will be a blood moon that will render the earth benders powerless we need to plan an invasion".
The air leader thought for a moment and said "very well".
Then a guy came in and said "Sir but we cleaned out Caballeron's office I think we found something that will interest everyone" later they were in his office and the guy said "there are secret files on everyone in the city even you five".
The air leader then pulled one out and said "Rainbow and Scootaloo" as he handed them the scroll.
Rainbow then handed the scroll to Twilight and she read it the said "its from your mother she's in town and wants to see you two".
Scootaloo then said "Caballeron intercepted our letters from home that's just sad".
The air leader then said "Flash seems this scroll was tide to the horn of your dragon".
Flash then said "Its from the eastern fire city there's a guru living there and he can help me master the avatar state".
Twilight then said "is there a letter for me and Shining by any chance?"
The air leader then said "I'm afraid not".
Then the guy from earlier said "but there is an intelligence report that might interest you" as he handed them a scroll.
Twilight then red it "a small fleet of water tribe ships".
Shining then said "what that could be dad".
Twilight then continued to read it "protecting the mouth of chameleon bay lead by night light it is dad".
Later they were talking about what to do and Twilight said "I hate to say it but we have to spit up I'll stay here with the air leader to plan strategy the rest of you do your things".
Later Flash and Shining were on Scale about to head out then a guy came up and said "you should know that great female warriors have arrived here they say they are from the island of mist mane".
Shining then said "those are the mist mane warriors there good friends of ours".
At Caballeron's cell one of the shadow bolts gave him dinner and said "Caballeron you should know the palace guards and the general may be loyal to the air leader but the shadow bolts remain loyal only to you". With Rainbow and Scootaloo they had arrived at the house there mother was at but quickly got trapped in a metal box by Zephyr and Fire streak.
> The Guru
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

With Timber he had just woke up and said "what's that smell?"
Stygian then said "just some stew would you like some?"
Then Timber said "smells great id love a bowl".
Stygian gave him a bowl of stew and then said "you seem different somehow".
Timber then said "we have a new apartment and its the grand opening of you tea shop things are looking up".
Over with Flash he and Shining had just arrived at chameleon bay and Flash said "you haven't seen your father in two years you must be excited".
Shining then said "nervous would be more like it".
Then Flash said "don't worry he will be happy to see you".
Shining then said "what about you are you nervous to meet this Guru?"
Flash then said "not at all I'm ready to master the avatar state I'll do whatever it takes" then Shining got down and Flash said see you in a week yip yip".
A few minutes later shining was down in the camp and everyone was looking then one of them came up and said "Shining good to see you".
Then they moved out of the way of his dads tent and Shining went into it were his dad was looking at a map the guy next to him nudged him and pointed to Shining and he said "Shining".
Shining then said "hi dad" and then they hugged.
Back in Canterlot the air leader said "Look Smokey the mist mane warriors are here to protect us I must say its been a difficult week for me my trusted adviser was a trader".
The lead Mist mane warrior then said "I hard when you can't trust the people closes to you".
The air leader then said "but there is good news as we speak the generals are planning an invasion on the earth kingdom this summer on the night of the blood moon".
The lead mist mane warrior then said "really that sounds like a brilliant plan".
Back with Flash he was flying to the eastern fire city and when he made it he met up with the guru and said "um hello your guru Sandal wood right?"
Sandal wood then said "indeed I was a spiritual brother of your people and a close friend of Smart cookie".
Flash then said "in your note you said you could help me control the avatar state how?"
Sandal then said you must gain balance in your self before you can balance the world and the first step begins with this drink up" as he handed flash a cup of something.
Flash drank it then spat it out and said "ugh taste like grape and lime juice".
Sandal then said "that's because it is" as he drank some "yummy".
Over with Rainbow and Scoots they were in a metal box headed to there parents when rainbow got an idea. Back in Canterlot the mist mane warriors were actually Gloriosa and her friends and Gloriosa said "we have a rare opportunity girls".
Then Night glider said "Sunset gets to were makeup that's not depressing for once".
Sunset then said "very funny".
Gloriosa then said "I'm talking about concurring the whole air nation for one hundred years the earth kingdom has climbed away at Canterlot mountain but now were are at the top and we can take it our selves".
Night glider then said "wow your so confident I like that about you".
Then Gloriosa said "we can take the city the key is the shadow bolts who ever controls the shadow bolts controls the city".
Back with Flash the Sandal said "In order to master the avatar state you must open all the chakras Flash tell me all you know about chakras".
Flash then said "what are chakras?"
Sandal then said "oh I guess we will start with the basics chakras are pools of energy that flow throw the body like this these pools of water but things can fall into the pools blocking the flow but if we open the parts that block it the stream can flow". Later they were in a cave and sandal wood said "there are seven chakras that flow threw our bodies and each one has a certain job blocked by a certain emotion be warned opening the chakras is an intense Esperance and once you start you can't start until all seven are opened are you ready".
Flash then said "I'm ready"
Sandal then said "we will start by opening the earth chakra located in the base of the spine it deals with survival and is blocked by fear what are you most afraid of let your fears become clear". Flash then saw earth king Glad mane and was scared then Sandal wood said "Flash your vision is not real you are concerned for your survival but you must surrender those fears let your fears flow down the creek". Flash then took a breath and opened his eyes and the vision was gone "you have opened your chakra" later they were near a water fall and Sandal said "next is the..."
Flash then said "water Chakra?"
Sandal then said "brilliant maybe one day you will be a guru too this chakra is dealt with pleaser and is blocked by guilt now look into your mind what do you blame yourself for".
Flash then looked back and said "I ran away when I should have stayed".
Sandal then said "except reality these things happen or you will let them cloud and poison your energy if you want to be a positive influence on the world you need to forgive yourself" Flash then took a breath and smiled.
Back with Shining his dad said "this bay leads directly to the bottom of Canterlot mountain and we've been using these tangle mines to stop earth kingdom ships from getting threw".
Then anther guy said "your father invented tangle mines himself".
Shining then said "destructive buoyant and..." he then smelt it "and terrible smelling".
Night light then said "very observant these mines are filled with skunk fish and seaweed when a ship detonates the mine the seaweed tangles up the propeller and the foul smell forces people to jump ship I call it the stink and sink".
Shining then laughed and said "good one dad".
Then the guy from earlier said "you are definitely your fathers son".
Anther guy then came over and said "night light four earth kingdom ships have just been spotted".
Night light then said "Capper, wild you two get these mines loaded the rest of you prepare for battle".
Shining then said "Dad what about me?"
Night light then said "weren't you listening I said the rest of you prepare for battle".
Shining then got up, nodded and went with the other's Back in Canterlot with Timber Stygian said "when we came to the city as refuge's I never would have thought that I would end up having my own tea shop follow your passion Timber and life will reward you".
Timber then said "congratulations uncle you disserve it the Jasmin dragon will be the best tea shop in the city now lets make these people some tea".
Back with Flash Sandal said "next is the fire chakra located in the stomach".
Flash then said "I think my fire chakra would like to eat something other that grape and lime juice".
This chakra deals with willpower and is blocked by shame "what are you ashamed of?"
Flash then remembered how he lost his temper in the desert and said "I hurt people because I got mad".
Sandal then said "you need to stop being ashamed you had no control people get mad all the time" Flash the took a breath "Hmm that chakra less like a flowing creek and more like burping dragon".
Flash then burped and said "taste like grape and lime but strangely something else apples?"
Sandal then shrugged his shoulders Back in Canterlot the shadow bolts were watching the girls while hiding and sunset said "I'm tired of wearing this girly outfit I don't know how anyone can fight in this".
Night glider then said "maybe that's why it was easy to bet the mist mane warriors and take there cloths".
Sunset then said "how much longer do we have to serve the air leader? if I have to clean up one more bear dropping I'm gonna throw up".
Princess Gloriosa promised we would go back to the earth kingdom as soon as we capture the avatar we just have to wait".
Sunset then said "shush do you want the whole palace to know were from the earth kingdom".
Then the shadow bolts left and Gloriosa came out and said "good work girls I'm sure the Shadow bolts will deliver the message".
Back with Flash Sandal said "the fourth chakra is the air chakra located in the heart and deals with love and is blocked by grief lay all your grief out in front of you". Flash then saw all the people he lost and the disappeared "they have moved into greatness but life is a great form of energy It swirls all around us the fire citizens love for you has not left this world it is still inside your heart and is reborn in the form of new love" as Flash saw Twilight in the vision "let it flow"
Then Flash smiled and said "can I have some grape and lime juice please".
Later Sandal said "the fifth chakra is the sound chakra located in the throat it deals with truth and is blocked by lies the ones we tell ourselves".
Flash then said "I never wanted to be the avatar".
Sandal then said "you cannot lie about your own nature you must accept that you are the avatar" Flash then took a breath and smiled Sandal then said very good Flash you opened the chakra of truth" later Sandal said "the sixth pool of energy is the light chakra located in the center of the forehead it deals with insight and is blocked by illusion the greatest illusion in this world is the illusion of separation thing you think are separate by difference are actually one in the same".
Flash then said "like the four nations".
Sandal then said "yes we are all the same but we live as if divided".
Then Flash said "were all connected everything is connected".
Sandal then said "that's right even the separation of the four elements is an illusion if you open you mind you will see that all the elements are one all parts of the same whole even cold air is still air just thicker".
Back with Rainbow and Scoots they started to blow air and it got colder so cold they were able to brake open a hole in the box and Rainbow said "alright we rule".
Back in Canterlot Twilight said "what do you think ring tail a cup of tea before heading back to the leader" she went in and gasped when she saw who was working there it was Timber and Stygian and she ran back to the palace.
Back with Flash he said "this is the last chakra isn't it".
Sandal then said "yes once you open this chakra you will be able to go in and out of the avatar state at will and you will be in complete control of the it".
Flash then said "lets do this".
Sandal then said "the final chakra is located in the crown of the head it deals with pure cosmic energy and is blocked by earthly attachment what is it that attaches you to this world?" Flash the closed his eyes and saw Twilight sandal then said "now let all of those attachments go let them flow down the river".
Flash then said "what why would I let go of her I love her?"
Sandal then said "you must let her go or you can't let the pure cosmic energy flow".
Back in Canterlot Twilight ran up to the Mist mane warriors and said "thank goodness your here Cadence something terrible is going on the earth kingdom has gotten into the city I just saw prince Timber and his uncle we have to tell the air leader right away".
Then she got up and said "don't worry I'll be sure to let him know". Twilight then saw eyes and discovered it wasn't Cadence right when Night glider jumped over her and chi blocked her "So Timbers in the city to I think its time for a family reunion".
Back with Flash he said "okay I'll try" then closed his eyes and saw twilight disappear then saw a giant version of himself with glowing eyes and the mark on his arm was glowing to he went up to it but while in it he saw a vision of Twilight in danger and came out of it and said "Twilight is in danger I have to go".
Sandal then said "no Flash if you leave now you won't be able to go into the avatar state at all".
Then Flash jumped down onto Scale and flew away back with Rainbow and Scootaloo the two guys taking them heard a metal clanking sound and went back to see a large hole in the box that looked cold and Zephyr said how did they do this?"
Then they were pushed into the box and rainbow said "its not a trick" as she and scootaloo used cold bending to freeze them "We are the greatest air benders in the world don't you to idiots ever forget".
Then they got away on air scooters Zephyr then said "now what do we do?"
Fire streak then said "after our bodies thaw I think we should sent a letter to Mr. bow hot hoof and tell him we quit".
Zephyr then said "agreed".
Back with Shining Night light said "you ready to go knock so earth kingdom heads?"
Shining then said "this means a lot to me dad I will make you proud".
Night light then said "Shining I have been proud of you for years now and I became even more proud when I learn you were traveling with the avatar".
Shining then said "really?"
Then night light said "why do you think I trusted you to look after the tribe while I was gone".
Then they were about to get on the ship but then Scale landed with Flash and Shining said "this cant be good news" Later they were flying back to Canterlot.
Back in the city to shadow bolts were taking Gloriosa to Caballeron's cell and she said "what is going on these two snatch me from my room and drag me here is this anyway to treat a mist mane warrior?"
Caballeron then said "but your not a mist mane warrior are you princess Gloriosa of the earth kingdom?"
Gloriosa then said "what do you want?"
Then Caballeron said "I want to make a deal in return that I regain control of Canterlot and theirs something I need the air leaders trust".
Gloriosa then said "why should I help you?"
Caballeron then said "because I can get you the avatar".
Then Gloriosa said "I'm listening".
Back with Timber they received a letter from the palace stygian red it and said "I can't believe it".
Timber then asked "what is it?"
Stygian then said "great news we've been invited to serve tea to the air leader".
(TO BE CONTINUDE)
> The Crossroads of Destiny
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flash and Shining were Flying back to Canterlot and Shining asked "So what kind of trouble is Twilight in?"
Flash then said "I don't know in my vision I just knew she needed help".
Shining then said "it would be nice if your avatar powers could be a little more clear from time to time" then he saw a large dust cloud heading towards the mountain "what is that" They flew down to it and saw Rainbow and Scootaloo headed for the mountain and Shining then said "need a ride?"
Rainbow then said "sure thanks".
Back in the city Gloriosa was talking to the Shadow bolts and said "the air leader and the generals do not trust the Shadow bolts they imprisoned your leader Caballeron soon they will turn on you and eliminate you taking power today is a matter of life and death this plan must be swift the air leader and the generals must be taken out one at a time Caballeron has placed you in my command while we overthrow the government if I sense any weakness at all I will crush it that is all".
Then Night glider said "nice speech Gloriosa it was very poetic but also scary but in a good was".
Sunset then said "ya I thought you were going to make that one guy pee his pants".
Then Gloriosa said "there's still a few loose ends the avatar and my brother and uncle".
With Timber he and Stygian were at the palace and stygian said "I never thought I would be here like this destiny is a funny thing".
Then Timber said "It sure is uncle".
Back with Flash They were flying into the city and Rainbow asked "so how did it go with the guru?"
Flash remembered what the guru said and then said "fine just fine".
Back with Timber Stygian was poring a cup of tea and Timber said "what's taking so long?"
Then Stygian said "maybe the air leader is just busy".
Shadow bolts then came in and surrounded them and Timber said "Something is not right".
Then Gloriosa came in and said "its tea time".
Timber then said "Gloriosa?"
Gloriosa then said "have you met the shadow bolts there air benders but they an instinct that's very earth bender I just love it".
Then Stygian said "you know I'm going to drink some tea" as he took a sip he then made an earth wave that nocked down the shadow bolts then they busted throw the wall and ran the air benders tried to stop them but couldn't Stygian then jumped out a hole in the wall and yield up to Timber come on jump you will be fine".
Timber then said "no I'm tired of running its time I faced Gloriosa" as he turned around and went back as Stygian ran off.
Then back inside Gloriosa said "your so dramatic what are you going to challenge me to a lava power disc?"
Then Timber said "yes I challenge you".
Gloriosa then said "no thanks" Then Timber Threw lava at her but the Shadow bolts blow it away then threw chains on Timber.
Back with Flash they had arrived at the palace and asked the air leader and he said "Twilights fine nothing to worry about".
Then Flash said "but in my vision I saw Twilight in danger".
The air leader then said "well she met with the generals planed the attack and now she's with your friends the mist mane warriors".
Shining then said "see Flash she's with Cadence I bet there in our apartment right now talking about girl stuff or something".
Flash then said "okay maybe your right".
Then the air leader said "believe me if there were any dangers Smokey's animal instincts would know it".
Down in a crystal mine Twilight was looking for a way out then they opened it and threw in Timber.
Back with Flash They had arrived at there apartment and went in to find no one was there but Ring tail and Flash said "Twilight is in trouble I knew it".
Then there was a knock on the door they answered and saw it was Stygian and Rainbow said "hey its you old friend".
Stygian then said "I need your help".
Flash then said "you guys know each other?"
Then Scootaloo then said "we met him in the woods and nocked him down then he gave us tea and very good advice".
Stygian then asked "may I come in?" Rainbow nodded he came in and told them "princess Gloriosa is here in Canterlot".
Flash then said "she must have Twilight".
Then Stygian said "she has Timber too".
Flash then said "Then will work together to fight Gloriosa and save Twilight and Timber".
Then Shining said "hold on you lost me at Timber".
Stygian then said "I know how you must feel but believe me when I say there's good in him".
Flash then said "Shining Twilight is in trouble we have to help them both all of Canterlot is in trouble its our only chance".
Shining then said "fine".
Then Stygian said "I brought someone along who can help us" as he showed them the Shadow bolt he captured.
Stygian pulled the gag off of him and he said "Gloriosa and Caballeron are plotting to take down the air leader"
Then Shining said "my sister where are they keeping her?"
The guy then said "in the crystal mines beneath the palace".
Down in the mines Twilight said "why did they throw you in here? Oh Let me guess its a trap so when Flash shows up to help me you can capture him" Timber looked at her then looked away "your a terrible person you know that always following us so you can capture the avatar trying to capture the worlds only hope for peace oh what do you care your the earth kings son spreading war and hate over the world is in your blood".
Timber then said "You don't know what your talking about".
Twilight then said "I don't how dare you, you have no idea what this war has put me threw me specifically the earth kingdom took my mother away" as she had tears in her eyes.
Timber then said "I'm sorry something we have in common".
While they were talking Flash and Stygian were digging into the mines Flash said "So Rainbow and Scoots say you give great advice".
Stygian then said "yes what's on your mind?"
Flash then said "well I met with this guru who said in order to master the avatar state I have to let go of someone I love and I just couldn't".
Stygian then said "Perfection and power are over rated I think you were very wise to choose happiness and love".
Flash then said "but what happens if I cant save everyone and stop Gloriosa without the avatar state?"
Stygian then said "I do not have the answers sometimes life is like this dark tunnel it stays dark for a very long time but if you just keep moving you will find light" as the reached the mines.
Back with Shining, Rainbow and Scootaloo they were going to warn the air leader and shining said "look there's the first general" but they hid them selves and then the shadow bolts captured him Shining then said "its happening we have to warn the air leader now" as they ran in the other generals were being captured. 
They ran to the air leader and he asked "hey what going on?"
Then one of the mist mane warriors there said "ya what is going on you cutie"
Then shining said "um I'm kind of involved with Cadence".
She then said "who?"
Then Rainbow blew her away and said "there not the real mist mane warriors".
Then the other girl there said sorry to disappoint you" as she threw knives at them but Scootaloo blow them away.
They fought until Gloriosa came in with a metal blade and grabbed the air leader and said "this fight is over" and they were taken to a cell.
Then Caballeron came in and said "now comes the part were I double cross you Shadow bolts arrest her" but they did nothing "I said arrest her what is wrong with you?"
Gloriosa then said "they haven't made up there minds there waiting to see how this will end you were born with nothing so you had to struggle and claw your way to power but true power to rule is something your born with the fact is they don't know which one of us will be sitting on that throne and which one will be bowing down but I know" she then sat in the throne "well".
Caballeron then got done and said "you beat me at my own game".
Gloriosa then said "don't flatter your self you were never even a player".
Down in the mines Twilight said "I'm sorry about what I said".
Timber then said "it doesn't matter".
Twilight then said "its just been so long since I would imagine the face of the enemy was your face".
Then Timber put his hand on his scar and said "my face I see".
Then Twilight said "no that's not what I meant".
Timber then said "Its okay its just I use to think this scar was my mark the mark of the banished prince cursed to chase the avatar forever but lately I've realized I'm free to discover my own destiny even if I will never be free of my mark".
Twilight then said "maybe you could be free of it I have healing ability's".
Timber then said "its a scar it can't be healed".
Then Twilight pulled out a small bottle pendent and said "this is water from the spirit pond at the north pole it has special properties so I've been saving it for something important but I don't know if it will work" Then Stygian and Flash broke throw the wall "Flash" Twilight then went up and hugged him "Flash I knew you would come".
Stygian then said "go help your other friends we will catch up with you" They Left and stygian said "Timber you are not the man you once were you are stronger and wiser and now you are at the cross roads of your destiny you must choose good".
Then platinum chains wrapped around Stygian Then two shadow bolts came in with Gloriosa and she said "Timber I would have expected this from uncle but not you prince Timber your not a trader are you?"
Timber then said "release him now".
Gloriosa then said "its not to late prince you can still redeem your self".
Stygian then said "the kind of redemption she offers is not for you".
Then Gloriosa said "why don't you let him decide uncle I need you Timber I've plotted every move of this day this glorious day in earth kingdom history and the only way we win is together at the end of this day you will have your honor back you will have everything you want".
Stygian then said "Timber I'm begging you look into your heart and see what it is you truly want".
Gloriosa then said "your free to choose" as the shadow bolts left and she went to look for the avatar Back with Flash and Twilight they were running to get out when a lava disk went flying at the which they dogged they then started fighting Gloriosa as she threw rocks at them then Timber came in and fought them as well.
Back with Shining and the others Rainbow asked "any guards nearby?"
Shining then said "nope all clear".
Then Rainbow and Scootaloo Used cold bending to shatter the door and they ran out the air leader said "I'm not leaving without Smokey".
Later they snuck into the room where the bear was Night glider said "come on its easy you just walk on you front paws instead of your back ones like this" as she did that chains were air bent on to her.
Then They went up to sunset and she said "just take the bear".
The air leader then said "Smokey" Back in the mines Flash saw Twilight in trouble and knew there was only one option as Shadow bolts came in he then created an ice dome and mediated then broke out in the avatar state but then Gloriosa shot an electric metal cable into his back and he started falling Twilight used water bending to get them out of there as Stygian came in and held them off later they were all together Flying away on Scales back Twilight used her spirit water on Flash which saved him the air leader then said "Canterlot has fallen".
Back with Timber Gloriosa said "you did it Timber when we return home you will be seen as a hero of war".
