Spellbinding Ponies: Unicorn Way

After registration is being processed and their wands and spell decks have been distributed, our heros crossed the Rainbow Bridge and headed to the gate of Unicorn Way, where a guard is blocking the way.

Guard: None shall pass! 

Rainbow Dash: What do ya mean none shall pass?

Twilight: Are you Private Stillston? 

Guard: Yes but you all need to go back to your dorms. Unicorn Way is off limits, there are ghosts everywhere, much too dangerous. 

Twilight: We don't have dorms, but we have a letter from the Headmaster.

Twilight, then gave with the waxed seal to Private Stillston. He then read it intently, then gave it back to her and moved aside.

Stillston: Looks legit. I'll let you pass, but be careful. Show this letter to Private Connelly, he should be the first guard you see.

Twilight: Thank you. 

Private Stillston, then switched a lever thus opening the gate, and our heros went through the tunnel. Stillston was absolutely right, there was a guard at the very front of Unicorn Way. They then walked up to the lone guard. 

Twilight: Private Connelly?

Connelly: Yes that's me. What can I do for you?

Twilight: We have this letter to show yous, sir.

She then levitated the letter with the wax seal to Private Connelly. 

Connelly: Ah, a letter from the Headmaster. You're here to help with the cause am I right?

Spike: That's us, sir! Reporting for duty!

Connelly: Well, your arrivals are a blessing. We need someone to chase off all the Lost Souls floating around. I could do it, but we're short on men and I need to stay at my post. 

Rainbow Dash: We'll help out!

Fluttershy: Um.... actually, can I sit this one out? I'm not comfortable about this.

Rarity: And I wouldn't dare fight something undead, where's the sense in that?

Rainbow Dash: You realize you need to fight at some point. All right it's me, Twilight, Applejack, Spike, Pinkie are you fighting? 

Pinkie: NOT YET! I gotta watch first, I wanna see how fun it is before I join in on the fun.

Twilight: Then it's settled, Me, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Spike will take out the Lost Souls, deal?

Rarity, Fluttershy, & Pinkie: DEAL!

Applejack: All right then, let's get to it!

They all walked up the path and spotted dozens of ghosts floating around the place.

Rainbow Dash: This looks like our guys.

Applejack: How do we fight em anyway?

Twilight: Follow my lead.

The 2 ponies and the dragon did what their princess said and followed her lead, preparing for the worst. But suddenly a battle circle appeared below them, they took position in the side Twilight was on. They took out their wands and spell decks, and engaged in battle.

Fluttershy: Congratulations, guys. You did a good job fending off those creatures.

Twilight: Thanks, Fluttershy. Now then let's head back to Private Connelly.

Immediately after the fight, our heroes went back to Private Connelly for the status report. 

Connelly: Did you finish them off?

Twilight: We did, sir. Those Lost Souls won't bother anyone anymore.

Connelly: HOO-HAA! We may actually have a fighting chance now, thanks again wizards!

Suddenly a strange feeling occurred in our hero. It's almost like...their strength increased, feeling stronger out of nowhere. 

Pinkie: Ooooh that must've been a doozy!

Applejack: Now that ya mentioned it, I did feel a bit funny outta nowhere. 

Connelly: You all must've leveled up. That's natural to all enrolled wizards.

Fluttershy: Leveled up?

Connelly: When you level up enough, you'll be able to learn more spells.

The 7: Ohhhhhhh.

Twilight: That is....actually a useful system.

Connelly: It is, and I'm sure you'll learn allot more from the Headmaster. As of now we need to deal with the task at hand, we need to find out the source of all this madness. By the gazebo you'll find a young wizard by the name, Ceren Nightchant, he may know what's going on.

Pinkie: It must be the gazebo other there then!

Twilight: Then, let's go.

Twilight and the group, then headed off to the gazebo they passed by before, and saw a young human boy dressed in green.

Fluttershy: You must be Ceren Nightchant, right?

Ceren: That's me! Professor Moolinda Wu sent me here to research the happenings of the fairies, but the guards stopped me from going forward. But they haven't stopped any of you yet.

Rarity: They haven't stopped us yet.   But we've been told that you might know what the trouble is, on Unicorn Way. 

Ceren: I've been hearing rumors, that the fairies on the street have been corrupted. I wanted to see for myself to see if it was true, but as I said before, the guards stopped me from going any further.

Fluttershy: Oh, those poor fairies! 

Twilight: Maybe we can investigate if it's true or not.

Ceren: Would you? And then come back to me? If they are corrupted then I can do what I can.

Rainbow Dash: Uh-

Fluttershy: Of course we can! Anything to help free those poor fairies.

And with a groan from Rainbow Dash, our heros steered to the path of the sidewalks and navigated through the streets to find the subject at hand.

Unfortunately, Ceren was right. To their surprise, and to Fluttershy's distraught, they came across a path teeming with fairies with hate in their eyes.

Fluttershy: This is terrible! Those poor fairies, I know they don't mean to be mean, but someone is making them cause havoc! 

Twilight: We're gonna have to fight them. Who knows? Maybe if we defeat them, they might turn back into normal.

Fluttershy: It's worth a shot. Who's going with me?

Rainbow Dash: Woah, you're gonna fight?

Fluttershy: Anything to help them, including violence if I have to.

Applejack: Ah could go for a round 2.

Pinkie: Me too!

Twilight: I'll join.

Fluttershy: All right then.(gulps) Let's do it.

The battle circle appeared below them, and the battle to save the fairies began.

[Dark Fairy 4 is Defeated]

Fluttershy: Those poor fairies.

Twilight: Don't worry, Fluttershy. We'll set things right in Unicorn Way.

Applejack: Let's head back to Ceren, already. 

They followed Applejack, and went back to give the dire news to Ceren Nightchant back near the gazebo. 

Ceren: So, Unicorn Way IS being overrun by Dark Fairies? They've been corrupted,just as I feared. And you couldn't  change them back by fighting them? Oh that's really bad!

Fluttershy: What do we do?

Ceren: This needs to be addressed to Lady Oriel, the keeper of the Hedge Maze, and savior of the fairies. If anyone can help them, she can.

Rarity: Well, that's fantastic! Uh....where is she?

Ceren: The Hedge Maze is located at the end of the streets.

Twilight: I think I saw it during out fight with the fairies. Follow me, I think I know where it is.

As Twilight led her friends to the area she saw during their battle, they finally came across a large building at the end of the streets with the words "Hedge Maze" engraved on the top.

When they entered, they confronted a seraph in white, in the middle of the maze. They concluded the fact, that this maybe Lady Oriel.

Lady Oriel: Oh praise the stars, someone has finally come at last. You have come to save my fairies, yes?

Fluttershy: We are ma'am

Lady Oriel: Wonderful, simply wonderful! We must I do not know who is behind it all, but to do so, I must have a sample of dark fairy dust.

Pinkie: Here you go!

Pinkie Pie then gave Lady Oriel a bag of dark fairy dust, and immediately, she took the bag from Pinkie. 

Twilight(whispered): Where did you get that?

Pinkie: I snagged a bag when no one was looking, rather then going to another battle montage, I saved us the trouble and took some dark fairy dust. 

Twilight: Uh....

Lady Oriel: Oh no...

Everyone then turn their eyes to Lady Oriel, who looked like she saw a ghost or something . 

Lady Oriel: It's just what I feared. The dark force doing this is doing this, by trapping my fairies in bone cages, thereby corrupting them with a sinister magic within it.

Rarity: Well then, odds are there are fairies still trapped in the cages.

Lady Oriel: Then you all know what must be done. Free the fairies being held hostage in the cages. You'll find them throughout the streets.

Rainbow Dash: Consider it done!

The heros then split up and searched around the streets for any, bone cages. They all spotted cages of their own with a total of 6. Without any hesitation, the Mane 6 opened the cages letting out green balls of light each. 

After all the fairies have been freed from their prisons, our heroes went back to the Hedge Maze to meet back with Lady Oriel, when suddenly they heard a small voice. They looked around and found that the voice came from a freed fairy.

Fairy: Thank you for freeing me and my friends!

Applejack: T'wernt nothing.

Fairy: We did not mean to attack you, the cages made us all do bad things.

Fluttershy: That's what I thought too!

Fairy: Now we can all sing freely around for all Unicorn Way to enjoy. Thank you, wizards!

Fluttershy: Oh, you're welcome, little one. We'll get to the bottom of this.

Lady Oriel: We thank, young wizards. Thanks to your brilliant efforts, the fairies are free from their boney prisons. As a reward, I beseech to you, a new spell. This spell will allow you to summon one of my fairy friends when you are in dire need of health. Remember to put it in your deck, so you won't lose it.

Lady Oriel, then gives each the group a card of a fairy. Fluttershy's card however is a little different. Lady Oriel, then turns to Fluttershy.

Lady Oriel: You are a life wizard my friend. The card I gave to you will heal your friends rather than yourself. Use it with caution and care, Fluttershy. 

Fluttershy: I will, Lady Oriel. 

Then everyone then put their new spell card in their deck.

Lady Oriel: Now then, we must deal with the fiend causing this mess in the first place. My fairy friends spoke of a mysterious being whose bones cackle when he walks.

Spike: Bones cackle? Must be a skeleton. 

Lady Oriel: I may not know who it is, but Ceren Nightchant may have a clue of to who it is. He knows Unicorn Way more than me.

Applejack: Then let's book it back to Ceren.

As so they did, our group headed back and told Ceren Nightchant the situation on who's behind this.

Ceren: Lady Oriel said the one behind this placed the fairies in cages to corrupt them? Hmmm, I suspected it was Lady Blackhope, but even she couldn't pull this off.

Twilight: Spike thought that a skeleton maybe behind this. Any skeletons come into mind?

Ceren: Skeleton? OH-OF COURSE! Who could it be, but Rattlebones!

Spike: Rattlebones?

Ceren: When I first came here, I wanna baffled on to who was behind this. But now, there's no doubt about it, Rattlebones is the true culprit. Twilight, Rattlebones put in a death globe around my friend Delia's tower. I examined you guys closely and came to the conclusion that you, Twilight are the only death of your group. You're going to have to fight Rattlebones alone.

Twilight: Alone? But my friends-

Rainbow Dash: Will be safe with Ceren. 

Rarity: You need to go on and stop him.

Fluttershy: We know you can do it.

Pinkie: And we'll be cheering for you! 

A grin of relief and confidence came to Twilight. Sure she may fight him alone, but with her friends near, she won't fail.

Twilight: Thanks guys. Now, let's do this.

Twilight sped off like a bullet and flew to Rattlebones, for the fight for the fairies.
