At the Castle of Friendship, Twilight, her friends, and the ninja team were leaving it, as Leo spoke, "Explain to us again why we have to go to Canterlot suddenly?"
"It's a surprise, Leo." Twilight winked.
"And we need to pick up somepony before we go." Applejack added.
"Where do we have to meet this pony?" Fugitoid inquired.
"Not far. Right over there." Pinkie motioned up ahead.
The group looked ahead and saw Rockhoof; the Pillar of strength sitting under a tree while many of the students form the school were gathered around listening to him.
"Hey, it's Rockhoof!" Casey cheered.
Sunset gasped, "That's really Rockhoof?"
Rocksteady marveled, "He look very strong like me."
Bebop gasped, "Yo ain't he one of those Pillars you talked about?"
"That's right," Twilight confirmed, "He along with Starswirl and a few others were the ones who banished Stygian and the Pony of Shadows to Limbo along with themselves."
"Until we helped rescue them." Mikey put in.
"What's Rockhoof doing in Ponyville?" Karai asked.
"It's quite a story," Twilight began, "After we saved Stygian and banished the Shadow to Limbo, Starswirl decided to travel Equestria to broaden his studies and learn more about Friendship. While the others decided to return to their homelands and such."
"Many of the Pillars adapted quickly into this new time and found new callings in life." Starlight explained.
"Such as?" Shini wondered.
Twilight spoke, "Well, Starswirl had been traveling Equestria making new friends and broadening his horizons. Flash Magnus went to Canterlot and became a drill sergeant of the Royal Canterlot Guards. Mistmane moved to the Crystal Empire and became the official Royal Landscape Artist. Somnambula returned to her homeland and became a motivational speaker. Mage Meadowbrook returned to the Hayseed Swamp to expand her clinic making elixirs and medicines for ponies and other creatures."
"And what about Stygian?" Leo asked.
"He became a best-selling author by writing stories about his past experiences." Twilight answered.
"Sounds like they all adapted well in Modern Equestria." Donnie said.
"Well, Rockhoof didn't start out so well." Applejack admitted.
"What do you mean?" Raph wondered.
"Rockhoof's home had more or less become an excavation site and therefore couldn't stay there anymore," Twilight explained, "And the Mighty Helm had been long since disbanded. We tried to help him by offering a teaching position at the School of Friendship, but he couldn't stop breaking things, unintentionally of course. We tried to get him other jobs in town but with no success."
"He then wanted Twilight to turn him into a statue to be preserved until they could find something for him to do." Spike added.
"What?" the ninjas asked.
"He wanted to be turned to stone?" April asked in disbelief.
"That's cold." Mikey gasped.
"Luckily, the students at the school helped Rockhoof see he had a place in Modern Equestria by telling him how much they enjoyed listening to his stories of his experiences in The Mighty Helm. So Rockhoof decided to become a storyteller."
