open The Town That Friendship Forgot

“Trust me, a hovercraft is way more fun than a zeppelin or balloon...better yet, you gotta try a fighter jet. Those things are insane. I’ve flown one curtesy of my military friend and boy, you get so many g forces on those things.” Thundy explained as he arrived at a dirt path. He took the path.

Chelsea soon went through some foliage and arrived at the sandy beach. The tide was nice and mellow. “Well here we are.” Chelsea said as she walked towards the water. “Please don’t be nervous. It’ll be okay.” Chelsea said nuzzling Pencil comfortingly. 

[ExplosionMare 18,063]

@C. Thunder Dash

Despite how weird it was to unexpectedly get nuzzled, Pencil thought it was kinda nice. Chelsea was only trying to comfort her, anyways. Feeling a little more confident than before, Pencil exclaimed,

“I’m ready for this adventure!”

As she reached the foliage, she let little grains of sand cling to her fur. She let her hooves sink in further until she could barely see them. The feeling was quite soothing, but Pencil knew she would have to stand back up to avoid getting stuck. The sand crunched beneath her weight as she stood, the holes she previously stood in quickly filling back up. When Pencil lifted her hooves up, there was so much sand on them that her hooves almost looked brown instead of purple.

Shaking off the sand and turning her attention back to Chelsea, Pencil curiously asked,

“So, what do you wanna do first? It’s your adventure, so you can lead the activities if you want,”

As Pencil waited for Chelsea’s response, she turned her attention back to her hooves and tried to shake the remainder of the sand off. She shook each hoof vigorously but could not get more than a few grains off at a time. Oh well, she thought. She would just have to wait until she got into the water.

As they arrived at a dirty path, Dynamo raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What's a fighter jet and what's a g force? I'm sorry for all of the questions, but I've never really heard of those before. Seeing as how we might not have those in Equestria. I guess the expression may have been used, but only by my dad. He loved to race and always worked on tracks. Well, it was mostly for quick racing down the track, or to complete a number of laps to see who's the racing champion. He even knew some of the Wonderbolts as they would appear from time to time to participate in racing."

The library worker tries to continue her job, but she notices the artifact is missing. "Huh? Where did..." She sees the breezie has it. "...Should I?" She gets up, about to ask for it back, but returns to her desk. "I'll wait til she's done with it." The mare says to herself.

Beryl got up and flew to the mare "Sumone tore da pages!" She flew back to the book showing the missing pages. Between the start and end of the 4 page prophecy in the book.

”A fighter jet is a special type of aircraft that is able to travel faster than the speed of sound. It is equipped with duel rocket thrusters pushing power of over 10,000 horses. Because of the speed, what is called g force is exerted. G force is short for gravitational force. It is basically a multiplier.” Thundy said as he slowed the raptor down to a complete stop. “Now that we’re not moving, we are exerting 1 g, or 1 unit of gravitational force. When I start to move...” Thundy said as he accelerated the raptor a little, “...the gravitational forces increase.” Thundy explained.

Chelsea slowly got into the ocean waters waiting for Pencil. 

[Kronos the Revenant 1,971]

With the new day dawning on him, Kronos went to work in solitude. He replaced his explosives with mild fireworks in his Nest of Bees. He then went around jumping from rooftop to rooftop with his stealth systems engaged. He changed the look of his armor to make it difficult for others to recognize him. He finally found a good perch near the town square and set his rocket launcher on his shoulder. 
 

Time to wreck some HAVOC!!!! his voices said to him. 
 

He scanned the area to find places that’ll cause minimum casualties but maximum collateral damage. He found a few spots that looked public and promising, making for a very awesome display. He decided to target the wide town square, very large with ponies widely spread out to meet his criteria. He snapped his claw to make some sparks that ignited the fireworks. One by one, in rapid succession, they flew out of the pod and landed randomly on the town square, even coming into contact with a few buildings. Kronos wildly swung around the pod to ensure maximum chaos gets spread across the town. 
 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! his voices rejoiced, RUN COWARDS, RUN!!!!!!!

Samurai looks at Fable confused. "Can't smile? Is it a medical condition?" He tilts his head a moment, but then shrugs it off. "Well, that's disappointing, but that's not why I'm doing this." Samurai smiles and looks up into the umbrella they are all sitting under. "I'm doing this because I genuinely want to spend time you. With Pastel, Silver, and with EVERY new citizen that has come into town! I really do find all of you fascinating, and I want to know more. How can I call myself a protector if I don't care or even know the first thing about the citizens I protect? You're all wonderful to me." Samurai admits.

He looks over at Pastel's comments, confused at first. But then he gives a wide smile, reaches over, and pets her head. "What are you talking about, Pastel-chan? I'm NOT alone! I have... you. And Astral, and Dynamo, and Pencil, Fable, Silver, and all the ponies I've made friends with recently. You've brought way more happiness in to my life than you can imagine." Samurai says with a nod.

Samurai listens to everything Silver has to say. "Well, my secondary mission is to protect the town and its citizens. My primary mission is to try and solve the Laronde Box, a magical puzzle box that is suppose to reunite the two mayors of this town. When that happens, hope will be restored to the town. At least that's how the prophecy goes." Samurai says, but notices the other things he has to say. "Well, there is plenty of ponies that could use your help right here. I can't stop you from leaving and going wherever you please. That's up to you. But if you want to start a new life somewhere else, I really hope you consider life here in Friendshire. All the newest citizens are kind of like a collection of misfits. None of us need to be here, but fate has brought us here one way or another, and we're making the most of it. And here in Friendshire, doesn't matter if you're a Kirin, Breezie, Dragon, or even a changeling! If you seek refuge, you're welcome here." Samurai says, giving him the warmest welcome he possibly can.

It takes a moment for everyone to finish the food they are eating, and store away any food they'll save for later. But once this meal is done, Samurai gets up. "All right, everyone! Listen up! This is what I need from you... Pastel, I need your help picking out a nice gift for Dynamo, Pencil, Thundy, Chelsea. Astral too, if you want." Samurai leans in closer so he can whisper to her. "And I've all ready picked out a gift for you, but you'll have to wait til this evening to get it. It's a surprise." Samurai says with a wink. Then he looks at Silver. "And you, Silver. You're going to be helping Pastel. While you're at it, feel free to pick out a gift for yourself. And don't be shy, either of you! No need to limit yourselves to cheap gifts. Pick out the best ones, and let me worry about the price. I'm paying for everything." Samurai says. Let's just hope it doesn't go overboard~ Lastly, he looks at Fable. "Do you want to join them? Maybe pick out a gift for your a friend or a family member? I'd pay for shipping, if necessary." Samurai says.

@Astral Vision

Mayor White Addenbrooks turns to the side and coughs a little before facing Astral again. "I want to believe that the events you and your friends are organizing... Are having an effect on Mayor Black too. I can't say for sure, but I hope it is reaching him. Mayor Black... I see much of myself in him. He is much like the negative side I left behind in life... Full of selfishness, and gluttony, and stubbornness. ... But I know there is more to him then that. He became a Mayor because, like me, he cares." Mayor White gets more comfortable in his bed. "It's nap time. On the way out, ask one of the employees for File 28B. It has pages to the book that you seek." The mayor explains.

@Kronos the Revenant

And it works! No casualties, but lots of panic! Ponies running and screaming in fear, trying to swat away the bees and take cover. Ponies who were all ready running, turning and running in the opposite direction when they see property falling and being destroying before them via explosions and fireworks. Likewise, some ponies actually stay and watch the fireworks, grabbing some popcorn. Though, they occasionally have to stay back and move around to make sure they aren't caught up in any of it. It's havoc and a show!

Fable chuckled lightly, and shook her head, "It's quite amusing." She said, "How much you sound like my best friend right now. She's quite the protective and caring one as well." Fable mused.

@C. Thunder Dash

Iron Shoal shrugged, bored of the shop talk. He decided to ask a bold question...

"SO, BUBBA! What's your type of girl eh? You like ponies and griffons or both, eh?"

What a swing in conversation...

@Dynamo Pad

Iron Shoal in response to being asked of his dress customs simply removed the turban he was wearing, revealing a maneless bald head, and forced it onto Dynamo's head. 

"LIKE THIS, BUBBA! HAHA! Your long mane doesnt complement it at all! Such a thing would be asking to overheat!"

After having a laugh he finished his beer and just nonchalantly chucked it out the window. Consequences didn't apply to him, apparently. 

"Yes, she is good at putting on a show, is she? More accurately making a scene! HAHA! She'd be a great showpony if she'd focus her energy. Give it a few years and you'll be drooling at her hooves! HAHAHA!"

 

---------------------------

 

@Samurai Equine

Pastel was bewildered. That wasn't at all what she thought he was saying a moment ago, but she decided to drop it and just bounce up, smiling.

"You're super, Sami! Everycreature here is! I'm so happy to be able to meet so many friends and I hope-- no, I KNOW we'll have lots more fun all together! It's a magical girl duty to maintain the harmony of friendship after all! Nyahaha~"

She stood arrogantly and proudly as she said this. She was so chuuni she was pulling magical hammers out of the sun.

She was overjoyed. Gift time!? Gift time! Crimes? Crimes! She started thinking about what to get everypony, what everypony would like. One for herself too? Sami must be rich! She would have trouble thinking of stuff for Thundy and Chelsea, since she just met them... So, gut instinct, she guessed.

She popped and skipped around Samurai, excited to pick stuff out.

"Okay! It's time to Supermarket Sweep this place DOWN! All the best stuff! this will be too SWEET!"

With vigor and a dozen references in one sentence, Pastel raced away in a pink blur to ransack the place for all that good stuff. Estimated public property damage is high.

[GeneralDirection 1,050]

@Samurai Equine @Pastel Heart

Laronde box, huh? Silver thought to himself. Anything involving puzzles was not his forte, so he would leave that to Samurai. The Kirin realizes that no one else can make the decision to stay or go for him, so it’ll have to be something he chooses to do soon. Silver heard Samurai say there were ponies in town who needed his help, and he wondered what he meant by that.

“I appreciate your offer, Samurai. As I said, I will take some time to think it over. I think the best things I can do would be to explore more of the town and meet more ponies who live here.” He said.

Silver finished his food and listened to Samurai’s announcement. It would seem that he was to go help Pastel pick out gifts for…a bunch of ponies who he’d never met. Were they even ponies? Who knew? Certainly not Silver. Once again, Samurai was paying for all of it. Silver didn’t understand why, but figured it was just best to go along with it.

Once Samurai mentioned gifts, Pastel lit right up. Silver couldn’t help but smile at the filly’s reaction.  She may have not been too far off the mark when she said she was magical, though whether it was intentional or not was…uncertain. At any rate, it didn’t take long before she took off to go wreak havoc somewhere. Silver chuckled and threw his garbage away, calling out to the pink filly as she shot off like a rocket.

“Pastel!” He called out as he ran after her. “Wait up for your partner in crime!” Silver had plenty of practice running away from would-be assailants, so he figured catching up to her wouldn’t be too difficult.

Finally shaking the last of the sand off herself, Pencil joined Chelsea in the water. It felt cool against her hide, very refreshing. Pencil kicked her hooves up and down, swimming around in semicircles. She quietly giggled as she truly got a feel for the ocean around her.

“Okay, so what’s the plan? Are we gonna do something magical or something else?” Pencil questioned.

"Now, when you mention 10,000 horses. You're talking as a figure of speech right? There's not actual horses involved." Dynamo pondered as it seemed things were different from Thundy's world compared to Equestria. "It seems that this g force is more powerful than regular flying. Almost as if breaking the sound barrier, or something equivalent to that." He responded as Thundy made the vehicle come to a complete stop. "Um...are we going to be safe? I'm not trying to over worry, but I guess I can be concerned, is all. I'm not sure if this car and a fighter jet have the same aspect in terms of g forces."

Dynamo glanced back over towards Iron, while also wondering about his previous question. "I honestly was expecting to be asked that at some point, but I guess not." He chuckled, before continuing. "If I were to guess, then I would have thought you were with Chelsea. Granted, I would also assume that you two are siblings, but I guess I should ask and not assume." He explained, before watching Iron taking a turban that he was wearing. The gamer pony blinked suddenly as the turban was thrusted upon his head. Some of his mane was sticking out of the turban, while tilting his head. "I guess I can see what you mean. I'm not sure on the whole idea of wearing hats. Unless it's for wearing an outfit that compliments it. I guess there are certain rules or ways of culture that go with the turban you wear." He responded, taking note of Iron's maneless bald head. He used his magic to levitate the turban off of his head, before levitating it over towards the old stallion. "Making a scene is sort of an understatement. We had a race yesterday and she acted as if she was a magical girl. That, and/or trying to use my magic as the cart somehow floated into the air. Thankfully, we had some help with a friend in order to get the situation under control." He sighed, wondering if Bluebell was okay. "Do you think being a showpony is her destiny of sorts? You must have seen moments where she had was in the zone." He almost blushed at Iron's last comment, before shaking his head and chuckling along with him.

"In the world where I am from, humans measure power output in horses. It's called horsepower. A fighter jet has over 10,000 horsepower, so literally, it means it has the same amount of power equivalent to over 10,000 horses combined." Thundy explained. 

@ExplosionMare

"Take a deep breath." Chelsea said as she dove underwater gently taking Pencil with her. Chelsea's gills automatically appeared. Chelsea gathered some water energy and employed it on Pencil. Gills formed on Pencil's sides enabling her to breathe freely underwater.

Dynamo let out a sigh he didn't know he was holding. "That's a relief. I was worried on what you meant, but I guess I thought differently. Sorry about that." He chuckled as he gave Thundy a small, yet sheepish smile. "There's so many different things from what you're telling me. That is rather interesting as it seems like the we ponies can equal that amount of power if by working together. I guess I have a lot to learn if I'm going to understand the things where you've come from. It's still good to know, anyway. I am curious. Have you ever had the chance to go back home to where you're from, or have you ever wished to go back?"

There, I have to time it right to enter the dimension earth is in, which is dimension 1." Thundy explained.

Sundae nodded “Don't worry. While you try to regain your memories, you will stay at my place” she told him. They were now standing in front of a two-storey house, looking as simple like the others. Standing by the front door is a pony wearing a expensive-looking black and white dress. She bowed at Sundae's presence. 

“Welcome home, my lady” Server said. 

Sundae nodded before looking at Boulder “Are you hungry, Boulder?” 

This pony has a servant? in what capacity? Is the servant like an employee or is slavery legal in this reality? This person seemed to be some sort of maid but he couldn't rule out that there was at least some type of indentured servitude going on. He had no familiarity at all with this world or its laws. For the most part they seem fairly modernized but that did not mean they couldn't have slavery. The Diamond Dogs sure had the practice, and none of the ponies batted an eye at the idea of him being enslaved by them. None of the doctors, not even Sundae. So it wasn't so out of the ordinary to be outrageous. He'd have to be mindful of this going forward, though it did make him tense a bit at the thought that these ponies might have the same practices. He wasn't sure if he could escape as easily from the horned ones especially, since he had no idea what they could do. For all he knew they could just be limited to telekinesis, or they could have a wide swath of powers. 

He finally shook himself out of those thoughts as he nodded to the question, "Uh, Yes I am actually." He had been given a sandwich and some water in the hospital when he had awoken. No meat to speak of on it, and it was packed with vegetation, but it had tasted surprisingly good on his palate. His former body probably would have found the offering practically inedible considering it had had stuff like flowers in it, but it actually hit the spot at the time. Now however his stomach growled to attention the second the word "hungry" was uttered. 

[Windy Breeze 15,190]

@Buck Testa

“I see” Sundae opened the door with her magic allowing her, Boulder, and the servant to come in. Even though the house look simple in the outside, the living room however is so diffirent. The walls are colored in dark brown which could remind someone of dark chocolate. Their was a light brown couch, a rectangle glass table facing a red chimney on the left by the doorway which leads to the kitchen. Behind the couch is the staircase. The color of the wood remained untouched, but the center of it is covered by a round  blue carpet with red stripes. On the wall opposite to them has a rectangle family frame hanging with several what it seems to be Sundae's family posing for the unseen camera with joyful smiles.

Boulder was surrounding by a raspberry red aura as he was set down on the couch “I'll go make some sandwiches at the kitchen. If you need anything, tell it to her” she said, referring to the servant who shut the door.

Fable might not be able to smile, but getting her to chuckle was a victory to him. She might not be able to smile, but this is close enough, and he'll take it. "Really? You have a friend like me? I'd love to learn more about her." Samurai says.

He and Fable stay back and just walk casually, keeping a distance behind Silver and Pastel so those two have plenty of room to pick gifts for others, and so Silver can pick one for himself. It's all going according to Samurai's make-shift plan. Pastel gets to run wild and find the best gifts for everyone, price be bucked. Silver acts as sort of a chaperone to make sure that she doesn't get into too much trouble. But most importantly of all, the both of them get to spend some time together and maybe Silver might learn a little bit about Samurai's other friends that he hasn't met yet. He wonders what they'll come back with. Maybe some acrylics or copics for Pencil? Maybe one of those mini game systems for Dynamo? Hard to tell.

"I really did need there help, you know. My mind is somewhere else right now... It's better if they pick out the gifts instead. Today needs to be a happy day." Samurai says, thinking out loud. Also, his ear suddenly twitches. He looks around, and even looks through a window, but doesn't see anything.

[ExplosionMare 18,063]

@C. Thunder Dash

Pencil gasped as a set of gills appeared on both Chelsea and herself. It was already weird enough to see them on a griffon, but seeing them on herself was definitely something else. She squeamishly touched them, running over the grooves around her neck with her hoof. It was one of the strangest feelings she’s ever had, but at least she could easily breathe underwater.

“Heh, this is weird! Does this mean if I come back up I won’t be able to breathe air?” Pencil asked, clearly overthinking again. She wanted to shut herself up for saying something so dumb, but the words had already come out. Hoping they were ignored, Pencil dove down a couple feet deeper, absorbing the atmosphere.

Astral's eyes widened in shock; the final pages of the book were minutes out of his grasp, and soon this chapter of his quest would be complete. The blue unicorn stepped away from the old Mayor's bedside, allowing him to drift into a peaceful slumber whilst Astral pondered on his words. He only hoped that Addenbrooks' hunch was correct, because the more positive impact the group's work had on the two the better. Astral slowly exited the medical tent, and came to face Trilby Hatter once more; Astral nodded in thanks, and asked a close by staff member for the file.

"Could I please receive a copy of File 28B, under Addenbrooks' permission?"

As Astral waited with Trilby, a smirk grew adorned on his face.

"You know Trilby, you might just be thinking of this as another job, but I want to sincerely thank you for helping me. You clearly care a lot about Friendshire if you were willing to help me find answers. Plus, I think deep down you also care about all of the town's citizens, even Samurai."

Astral reached into his satchel bag, and soon held held a small ruby; it was clean yet rough in exterior, so it was likely straight from a cave.

"I want you to have this as a token of my appreciation, a little something I picked up from my travels. It should contrast well with your mane if you used it one of your designs."

I know it sounds crazy to ask, but how about a dimension that has video games, anime and such?" He knew it was a random question out of the blue, but he still desired to ask. He tilted his head in wonder as he heard about a flying car. "I guess it's a fair trade off when you run out of power. Such a strong spell or ability like that has to have some drawbacks. I've always heard of the term when pigs fly, but never a flying car. Trying to find the right dimension seems a bit risky, but I guess you've gone through that before, right?"

Iron Shoal chuckled as the griffon ignored his question. Guess he wasn't willing to kiss and tell, he thought. Instead he just let him drive and addressed Dynamo.

"HAHA! THAT'S MY FILLY! SHE WILL SUPLEX THE UNIVERSE ONE DAY!"

He adjusted the turban so it fit perfectly back on his head. He himself has forgotten much about Ponysia since it's been so long, all he did know was that the dress code got him over as a foreign heel 30 years ago.

"Hah! I don't even remember the old customs I've been in Equestria so long! Ponies did like to boo me when I came out saying Ponysia #1 though! A showpony, though... That has a shady ring to it, Pad of the Dynamo! HAHA! I don't think she understands what she wants to do herself, still exploring and finding her place in the world and all that, eh? She's an odd filly, never cared about a cutie mark or destiny, simply living life out. Much like me! HAHA! Though she is more reckless than I am these days! I definitely think she loves feeling like a star, a performer, an "Idol" as she calls it. I think her unwillingness to commit keeps her from seeing what shes capable of, perhaps. I used to work with a Japony wrestler called Wild Thing! That suits my filly as well I believe!"

It would be a bit of a chase, but Silver could find Pastel wrecking havoc through the shelves at a mini store called GAME. Seemed like Dynamo's gift was first. She made quite a mess knocking some merch over but she had stealthily and secretly grabbed something for Dynamo, slipping it into the basket. She waved to Silver as he caught up.

"Heeyy slowpoke!~ you play games? I know Dyny does so I got him like, the BEST thing but should I get something here for the griffons too? I dunno them well. They have talons though maybe they'd be extra good at it! I know what to get Pencil and Astral and Sami! What about you?"

Pastel smiled wide, full of energy as she learned towards Silver inquisitively.

Pencil just nodded to avoid saying anything. As her and Chelsea dove further under the sea, a pretty school of fish swam by. Pencil’s eyes lit up with fascination. If only she weren’t underwater, she would have drawn all of the unique fish.

Pencil tapped her chin thoughtfully and as she studied the school instead. She mentally documented each fish’s pattern so that she could sketch them later. She gazed at them for a while, their scales shimmering like chandeliers. Her commissioner has probably seen fish before, but with a little artistic flair, perhaps they could capture his attention.

Done thinking of her next piece, Pencil swam alongside Chelsea, following her to where-ever they were headed next.

"There may be a gaming or anime dimension out there, you never know Dynamo." Thundy said as he drove through the dirt trail. "And yea, I know a lot of wrestlers back in my world who were complete showoffs. You have this one named John Cena who absolutely took the wrestling world by storm when he debuted, even though he lost his debut match. Then there is Triple H, who was completely hated when he debuted. And then you have Heath Slater. Ugh, I absolutely hated that guy. He had this one series where he thought he could beat any legendary wrestler. He only beat one out of eight legends. I'm like "Way to put Slater in his place."" Thundy stated.

Soon, a beautiful coral reef appeared with many schools of fish swimming about. A giant manta ray gracefully swam towards the two. Chelsea stopped as the giant manta ray approached them. She extended a talon out and the manta ray stopped in front of them. Chelsea gently patted the manta ray. It flapped its wings happily. Chelsea turned to Pencil. "It's a manta ray." She said.
