The Crystal empire part three

Previously on the Sword of Harmony

Now:

Your pov:

The train had managed to reach to a stop which when we walked out we saw a nice green field with some big crystals poking out of the ground, which was pretty beautiful, especially with the shiny flowers. Standing in front of us was Shining Armor. "Shiny!!" Twilight yelled as she ran up to him and they hugged. "Hey Twiley!! Spike! Everyone!!" He said to us.

"Where's Cadance?" Twilight asked him. "She's back at the empire." He tells her. "So what's the empire like?" I asked him. "Oh! It's something you have to see to believe." He said. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Rainbow said. "Hold on!" Aj stopped her. "Why?!" Rainbow groaned. "I don't think you noticed but we are not at a station and we do have bags to carry." Rarity told her.

"Where are we?" Sunset asked him. "Well the train tracks are still not complete, so this is the Checkpoint till it is done. As for your stuff, I have some ponies ready to put them on a carriage and they will take them to your rooms." Shining told us as we began to follow him to the empire. After a few minutes of walking we saw the Empire in all its glory.

(Imagine that there are some tall silver looking buildings with a gear shaped windows. Basically the place is if  the Crystal empire is mixed with Azoth kingdom from the movie "Pokémon: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel")

"Woahhhh!!!" We all said in awe as we entered the empire. "I was not expecting this." Twilight said. "Look at all the crystals!" Rarity said in awe. "It's sooo beautiful/Delicious!" Both Rarity and Spike said. "Your drooling." Trixie told the both of them which they quickly wiped the drool off their mouths while Me, Trixie, Sunset, Rainbow, and Pinkie were holding back a laugh.

"Why are there skyscrapers in a city literally made of crystals?" I asked. "From what we can tell the crystal ponies were master engineers back in the day. But they don't appear to work for some reason?" Shining explained as we walked to a castle. "Look at the gorgeous castle!" Rarity said in awe as we walked under it. "It's just some old castle?" "Just some old castle!? This castle is made of crystals and you call it old!?" Rarity yelled.

"Ummmm...." "So what's the inside like?" Twilight quickly said. "No clue? The inside is locked and we can't get inside?" Shining said as we walked past the castle. "Really? Any reason why?" I asked. "I wish I know. But the strangest thing is that there are several locked doors that seem to go underground and we're not sure what is inside them." He told us.

"Looks like we have some things to figure out." Sunset said. "So how are the ponies here?" "Well like I told to Celestia. They don't seem to remember what happened before Sombra or what made the Empire vanish? Me and Candace had thought a faire would be nice and maybe it could help with their memories." He told us.

"A Faire!! Can I help!?!!" Pinkie yells as she was now in front of Shining. "Uhhhh.... Sure?" He said as we reached to a small building. "This is where we'll be staying." He told us as we entered the building. It was nice and there were ponies working around the place but they don't seem.... In to it.... What I mean is that they just don't seem to be..... there.

"Uh, hello.... Welcome to the.... I think this is called the crystal hotel? But I can't remember?" The pony said in confusion. "Uhhhh.... Thank you?" Rainbow said unsure on how to respond to her welcoming. "Let me get your keys." She said as she left. "I think I can see what you mean when you said your putting on a faire." I said. "Yeah..... it's sort of a mess and we're trying our best to help with the memory loss. But I'm not sure if it will work." He told us.

"If that's the case.... Pinkie, Sunset, Trixie, Rainbow, Rarity! I need you guys to help with the faire. Meanwhile the rest of us will see if we can find any info about restoring memories." Twilight told us the plan which we nod as the pony came back with our keys.

Time skip

Me, Twilight, and Spike were walking through the city until we stopped at a certain building. "So what building is this?" Spike asks. "The library, hopefully we can find a history book that could help us." She told us as we groaned before we walked in to see how huge the library was.

Twilight gasps at the sight of how big the place and I could see stars forming in her eyes. "This..... is the greatest..... (sniff) library.... That I have ever seen." She said with tears of happiness falling from her eyes. "Twilight Focus!" I yelled which snapped her out of her starstruck stance. "Errr, right. Hehe..... let's split up." She said as we split up to look at a huge supply of books from the past.

Pinkie pov:

"This is gonna be great! I have never thrown an entire faire for a city before!" I yelled as I was skipping around the booths that are being set up. "Pinkie slow down! I can't keep up!" I heard Sunset call out as she was running up to me and she was trying to catch her breathe. "Hehe... sorry. I'm just too excited! I'm throwing a faire and soon I'm gonna be a mom with two awesome ponies and it's gonna be in a new city!" I yelled in happiness.

"That's nice, but you still need to slow down. You are still carrying and I can't face the wrath that Twilight and (y/n) would do to me if I let something happen to you and the unborn kids." She told me. "Finnnneeee...." I said in annoyance as I saw a stage. "Oooo!! Do you think there's gonna be a live performance!?" I asked "Maybe? Although if given the chance. I would totally rock the stage if they let me play." She said with a smirk. "Maybe you caaaaaaaAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

"OH MY GOODNESS!! ARE YOU-" "Ah no. Just a false alarm. Lalalalalala-" I said as I skipped on as I heard Sunset sighs.

So I stumbled these images on YouTube and they are just adorable 🥰.
