Fangs And Blood

Beejay waited for him in his room.

"Yes, Father?"

"Come, we must begin training you if you are destined to defeat those pesky sisters," Beejay spoke.

"Okay, but... what other powers am I supposed to have?" Crusher asked.

"Other than ressurection and inventing, along with vampire abilities, I am not sure," Beejay admitted. "But that's what we're going to learn as we train, ready?"

"I guess so..."

"Good!" Beejay smiled.

"So... what do I need to do first?"

"Let's test out the skills you already know," Beejay set down a dead rabbit on the floor, bloodless.

"Well... I guess I can give this a try..."

Crusher took a deep breath and waved his tires around towards the dead rabbit, magic sparking out. The sparks went to the dead rabbit, again and again until the electricity managed to course through it. It soon turned back to life, blood coming back to it as it bounced up.

"Wow... I haven't done that in ages!" Crusher beamed.

"Good job, son!" Beejay patted his head.

"Thanks. So, what now?"

"We practice your other skills," Beejay grinned. "I heard you were good with inventing…?"

"The best in Axle City! Watch this!"

Crusher's lightning mark glowed as a magic light came. Immediately, a robot appeared in front of them, made by scraps but still functional.

"I say! That is impressive!" Beejay grinned and nodded.

"Thanks, Dad," Crusher smiled.

Meanwhile, Xander was leading Blaze and the group of pegasus fillies through the sky.

"Whoo-hoo!!" Blaze whooped.

"Blaze, this is amazing!" AJ smiled.

"Whoa, but tricky!" Skydance yelped as she struggled.

"I gotcha!" Quizon helped his friend.

"Wa-hoo!" Blaze laughed and helped the Pegasus children a bit.

"Now, let's fly higher, to the moon's light," Xander suggested. "Over the clouds,"

"Okay! Race you!" Camille shouted.

"It's on!"

Xander watched as they took off. He hummed. "Should I explain the altitude is different up there…? Nah, they'll figure it out soon,"

He flew after them, holding his breath for a bit before gasping to the new air above them. Thankfully, him being dead means he didn't need oxygen when it lacks.

"Ugh... it's getting hard to breathe..." Moonbeam panted.

"Altitude... might be the reason..." AJ struggled as well.

"Well, you all figured it out?" Xander sighed. "Come on, back down, below the clouds. Let's do this more properly,"

The others nodded and followed him down.

"So... how can we fly higher than the clouds if we can't breathe well up there?" AJ asked, able to take a breath.

"Hold in all the oxygen you need, but if that doesn't work," Xander held out breathers. "Old school breathers, like the ones in planes,"

"Thanks," Blaze said. "Let's try this again, team."

They took the breathers and went up, up above the clouds. They took it slow and gasped for air as they were met with the moon's light.
