Equestria Ninjas: Friendship School

Protect the Star

After witnessing the drama between the Kiican Generals, Twilight and the Turtles were outside a cafe debating on what to do, "Ok. So we got that the map sent us here to help repair the problem between the generals." Twilight began.

"Yeah. We convince Yaotl to destroy the star so they can move on with their lives." Raph said.

"Raph!" Leo scolded him.

"What?"

"That star is an ancient artifact. You can't just destroy it like that." Twilight told him.

"What you heard what the others said. That star not only burdened them with immortality, but Yaotl forced his sibs to watch over it with him. How selfish can you get?"

"Wow, just like Raph to side with the jerks." Mikey scoffed.

"What did you say?!" Raph snapped.

"You always side with ones who make another feel like a loser!" Mikey argued.

"Why you!" Raph was about to attack Mikey, only for Twilight to use her magic to freeze the hothead.

"Enough, Raph!" she scolded him, "You can't fault Yaotl for his decision. Sure it's easy to destroy something, but it's another to preserve something that's been around long before any of us."

"And in a sense they're all right and wrong." Leo added.

"We should talk with them and help try to see things through each others POV." Donnie suggested.

"Good idea, D. I'll go talk with Yaotl," Twilight offered, "The rest of you talk to his siblings."

"Good luck." Mikey said, as Twilight went to find Yaotl.

"Hey, unfreeze me!" Raph yelled while unable to move his jaw. Twilight realizing Raph was still frozen undid her spell allowing him to move.

"Alright, ninjas. Let's go." Leo ordered, as they left.

As nighttime rolled in, Twilight had found Yaotl on the museum roof looking out into the land, "Yaotl?" she asked, as she approached him.

"Beautiful, isn't it? Canterlot." he said.

"Oh, yes. It sure is." Twilight agreed.

"I remember how it was long before the princesses ruled the land. Looking at it now I see just how much time really has gone by."

Twilight smiled in agreement, but decided to cut to the chase, "Look, Yaotl, about your siblings."

Yaotl sighed, "I know they're right. Because of me we're all burdened with immortality. And no such magic exists to remove it. I tried to make the most of a bad thing, but they always resented our immortality. And I only made it worse on them by forcing us to keep vigil over the star rather than destroy it."

"Maybe, but that star has been around since Equestria's founding. And it's not easy keeping something that long so well preserved," Twilight comforted him, "I know your siblings care about you as much as you care them. Maybe if you all tried to look for equal footing on this situation there won't be so much hostility between you all."

"Easier said than done, Princess." Yaotl sighed, as Twilight worried on how the turtles were doing with the other generals.

The bros meanwhile were speaking with the other generals in the security room lounge. Mikey was enjoying a pizza slice, as the others enjoyed some coffee.

"What would you guys have done had you not touched the star to begin with?" Donnie inquired.

"Who knows," Aquila replied, "Probably eventually settle down and start a family. But that'll never happen now."
