Kung-Fu Equestria 3

Tirek Attacks

The morning sun shone through the window of Shining Armor's home. The white unicorn stirred awake before removing himself from his bed. Yawning, he moved through his home before peeking into his daughter's room. Shining Armor smiled as saw the alicorn sound asleep with the Rainbow figure in her arms.

Shining moved to the room holding his long lost sister. However, inside, the unicorn only found a made bed and an empty room. Shining almost panicked, before noticing a series of books on the nightstand. Immediately Shining realized where his sister was.

"Library," Shining stated before putting on a shirt and pants before leaving for the villages library.

Inside the library, Shining saw a mountain of books with Twilight sitting on top. Her nose was buried in a book, and her brow was furrowed in frustration.

"Spike, have you found anything?" Twilight called out.

"There are three books that mention Chi," Spike called out, holding three books in his arms. "But none explain how to channel nor master it."

"Have you guys been up all morning?" Shining asked, grabbing their attention.

"They've been here all night," The village librarian called out from behind her desk; a unicorn mare with a light yellowish gray coat, red hair and tail with purple highlights, purple eyes, and hair tie of a crescent moon and three stars.

"All night?"

"Yes, please ask them to leave," the unicorn pleaded. "They've gone through almost every book in the matter of hours! They are not normal."

"Don't worry Moon Dancer," Shining said assuredly with a smile. "I'll get them away for a few hours."

"Thank you Shining," Moon Dancer said in relief.

"Hey guys," Shining said, but only Spike heeded his call.

"Hey Shining," Spike greeted. "Hang on, let me get Twilight's attention."

Spike lifted one of the books in his hand and hurled it at the Celestial Warrior. Shining almost screamed... but Twilight grabbed the book without so much as a glance.

"What is it Spike?" Twilight asked nonchalantly, pulling herself away from her current book.

"You think you could spend some time with your brother," Shining asked.

"I will, once I find the book that reveals how to channel my chi," Twilight replied.

Shining grimaced, before an idea came to him. "You won't find it among these books," Shining insisted. "It's been handed down in our family."

Twilight paused, before jumping down from her pile of books. "Where is it?"

"In a secret place," Shining replied coyly, stepping out of the library and grinning as Twilight followed. "A secret place you can't access until you're ready."

"Shining," Twilight argued. "I need to master Chi in order to stop Tirek."

"I'm sorry Twilight," Shining said. "But until you're ready, I can't teach you."

"She saved Luna's son and defeated King Sombra," Spike stated to the unicorn. "How much more 'ready' can she get?"

"Regardless of what my sister has accomplished, she is still not ready." Shining said as he walked through the village. "Dad didn't learn how to channel Chi until he was well into his forties."

"Shining, I don't have that long," argued the Celestial Warrior. "I need to master chi and stop Tirek!"

"You're not ready Twilight, and that's final!"
