Princess Celestia was sitting quietly in her throne. Filling out papers and documents. She sighed. Celestia has been very bored all day. It was the same, old same old. Then all of a sudden, a small, green smoke rushed through her window. She watched it in surprise as it formed the letter right in front of her."That's weird. Twilight already send me a friendship report yesterday. Well, let's see what we've got here". She opened the scroll and began to read.

Dear Princess Celestia,

We need your help princess. Something awful just happened. Some kind of creature came to Ponyville and attacked to guards. It's on it's way now to Canterlot. I fear that it may cause more destruction than it already has. Me and my friends will be there soon to assist you.

Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle

Celestia dropped the scroll. That same creature she sent two guards out to investigate, just attacked them and is now on it's way to her. She immediately got up from her throne and quickly went to the castle hall."Luna? Luna, are you here"? Celestia tried to find her younger sister. Then with a bright blue flash, her sister appeared in front of her.

"I am here Tia. What bothers you"? Celestia gave her sister a serious face. One of those that meant there was danger around the place.

"Twilight contacted me. She said that some kind of dangerous creature is on it's way here. We need to be ready". With that, she started to trot down to the castle gate, with her sister following her.

"Do not fear Tia. This creature must be foolish if it thinks it can take on the two of us". Even though Luna was confident about her and her sister's powers, Celestia was still a bit worried but ended up agreeing.

"You are right sister. We should be able to stop it". Luna only nodded. They reached the castle gate where Celestia ordered the guards to hold up the doors. She was going to the main Canterlot gate where she could meet her student and her friends."Sister listen". Celestia stated to order Luna."I need you to stay at the castle garden just in case something happens".

"It will be done Tia. Although don't let me miss to much fun". Luna smirked as she flew the opposite direction Celestia was going who only grinned before continuing her trot.

"So Twilight, what's up with this creature you keep talking about"? Rainbow dash asked Twilight as they were on their way to Canterlot.

"It nearly killed two guards and it's believed to be heading for the princesses". Twilight spoke up as she looked out the window, seeing how far they were.

"She's right Rainbow". Pinkie started."I even said I was gonna through him a party, but instead just goes all loco like that. What a meanie"! pinkie was also frustrated.

"Oh, I hope I don't have to go near that thing. It scares me just when I talk about it". Fluttershy said quietly while hiding behind Applejack.

"Ain't no reason t' fret sugarcube. I'ma sure that t' princesses will take care of things". Applejack tried to calm her shy friend. To bad it didn't work.

"Girls please". Rarity was the last to speak up."I'm sure whatever this horrible creature is, Celestia will banish it to the moon". They were almost there.

"Were almost there girls. Let's just hope this thing didn't cause to much trouble yet". Twilight spoke as their train reached it's destination.

The train stopped. Corvo had finally reached the city."Thanks for the ride". Corvo told the conductor before grabbing him by the neck, and choking him out. He then stepped out of the train. This was weird. He was in front of the main gate but no guards. He looked around to insure there was no trap. Corvo pushed the giant, double doors open, only to be surprised.

Dozens of guards were in front of him. All of them giving corvo mean looking faces. And in the middle was Celestia. That was the one. The one Corvo saw in his vision. Or at least one of them. They were all looking at him. Corvo just stood there. In a fighting stance, expecting something to happen. He immediately took out his blade and crossbow, intimidating everyone there but the princess.

"Back down creature". Celestia stated."I'm sure what ever your going through, we can he-"... She was cut short as Corvo pointed the crossbow straight at her. All the guards froze. He pulled the trigger, sending an arrow fly through the air and into Celestia.

With quick reflex, the princess's horn began to glow as she knocked the arrow out of her sight using magic. Corvo's jaw nearly hit the floor under his mask. Celestia had a huge angry expression on her face."ATTACK". Celestia shouted, clearly threatened that the creature just tried to kill her.

All the guards started to attack. As one of them got close to Corvo, he blinked right behind him, only to put his arms around the guard's neck and snap it. As the dead guard fell to the floor. Four more came from all directions. Corvo jumped, avoiding  them. As he was in the air, he swung his sword and slit a pegasus guard who was flying towards him.

Corvo then ran up to more guards. they all through punches, but he dodged. With one he bashed him in the skull so hard  that Corvo was sure he was dead. Two other guards came from opposite sides with spears to attack him. He just jumped, grabbed one of them by the shoulders and kicked in the back towards the other guard. They both ended up stabbing each other.

Another guard came from behind Corvo to try and stab him with a spear. But he just turned around, blocked it, elbowed the pony in the nose and stabbed him in the stomach. He yanked out the blade and let the pony fall dead.

Then, a bright magical blast shot Corvo straight through the chest, sending him flying. He landed on his back, clearly injured."HOW DARE YOU CAUSE DANGER TO MY SUBJECTS"! Celestia screamed, using the royal Canterlot voice.

Corvo tried to get up, but while on his knees, several more guards were in front of him."Time to end this". Corvo said to himself as his mark started to glow. He was charging up his mana. Feeling threatened, all the guards charged at him, all of them carrying spears.

With one quick swing, Corvo shot out a huge blast of wind. On impact, all the guards were blasted back. Some broke through walls while some just were thrown off really far and got knocked out. At the last second, Celestia conjured up a magical force field around herself. But the blast broke the the barrier and even knocked her back a bit.

When Celestia looked back, she saw Twilight and her friends had just arrived."Princess"! Yelled Twilight, making Corvo turn around. He saw six colorful ponies. All of them looking scared.

"We must go now"! Celestia ordered as her horn started to glow. In one big flash of light, she and the other six ponies were gone.

"Goddammit". Corvo swore out loud. Just when things couldn't get worse, he noticed that many other guards were flying his direction."Time to bale". He started to run through the main gate into the city.

Luna was waiting patiently in the garden, waiting for her sister to return. Then in a bright flash, Celestia and the elements of harmony appeared right in front of her."Sister you are back. Let me guess, you stopped that thing in it's tracks right away". Luna said smiling. But Celestia had a very serious face, which only took Luna's smiling away.

"This is very bad sister. Not only did that creature kill over a dozen guards without even trying, it's on it's way here". Luna was shocked. She hasn't seen her dear sister worry like this in over a thousand years.

"Sister". Celestia spoke firmly."I need you to go to the castle and get as many guards as possible and meet back here". Her sister only nodded before she took off. Celestia then turned to Twilight and her friends."Twilight, I need you and your friends to get the elements of harmony. You will find it in my chamber".

"You can count on us princess". Twilight reassured. And with that, the princess took off, leaving Twilight and her friends to aid her subjects in the city."Alright girls, listen up". She got her friends' attention.

"Rainbow Dash, I need you and Fluttershy to go and get the elements".

"Yes m'am". Rainbow saluted and took off, only to be stopped. Fluttershy was to scared to move."Come on Fluttershy, we need you". Rainbow then pulled on her tail and dragged her to the castle.

"Applejacck and Pinkie Pie, I need you to go and help princess Luna get as many guards on patrol as possible". Twilight ordered.

"You can count on me Twilight". Pinkie said before dashing off.

"Yeehaa, let's do this". Then Applejack spoke as she followed her pink friend.

"Rarity". Twilight turned to her friend."I need you to stay here with me and patrol this area".

Rarity nodded."As you wish darling".

"Oh, I really hope we and the princess can stop this thing". Twilight thought to herself while worried. But she was confident with her friends.

Corvo was running on the roof tops with many flying guards on his trail. He kept blinking from building to building, but in every corner, there was a guard."You there". Corvo turned his head to see a guard yelling at him."Stop, in the name of Ce-"... Corvo just took him out with an arrow. He watched the guard fall down then continued running.

"I gotta hide somewhere fast". His mark started to glow, and with a single thought, time stopped. He kept running until he found a dark alley. He quickly jumped down, falling onto the floor and hide in the shadows. Time continued.

All the guards around the area were confused. the creature just vanished. Ad they searched the place, Corvo found a large pipe that led to the sewers."Well, I've been in worse scenarios". He thought as he jumped in, landing in the filthy water."Alright, I'm out of sight, now to get to that castle". He was in a large tunnel.

As he continued to walk, he couldn't get a thought in his head. These ponies he was trying to kill weren't fake, they were real. And with every death he causes, more and more chaos is washed upon this world. Corvo couldn't help but feel a bit sorry. But that wasn't his concern. He wanted to get back to Dunwall. And if it meant taking out two leader, it would be done.

As he wandered through the waste, he saw a couple of rats pass by."Hm, nostalgia came early today".

--

"All right, we are all back". Twilight was at least satisfied that Luna and her friends were back with many guards around the garden, and the elements of harmony.

"Got them right here Twilight". Rainbow said as she held the golden box with her shy friend.

"Let's just hope this works". Twilight levitated the elements out of the box and placed them all on her friends' necks. She also placed her crown on her head."Alright girls, get ready for whatever comes". All of her friends nodded before lining up.

As Luna sended her guards to different parts of the garden, she turned to Twilight."I hope my sister comes back. In times like this, we need all the hope we could get".

Then when things couldn't get any worse, a piece of the floor just exploded. Making dust go every where."What in tarnation just happened". Applejack spoke up as she used her hat to blow away the dust,

When it finally cleared, they were all shocked. Standing in front of a giant hole in the grass, was the creature. It scanned it's eyes around, but locked them on Luna. Corvo began to walk up to Luna, only to be stopped as he noticed many guards were surrounding him.

"Foolish creature". Luna insulted him."Do you really think that you can just walk in here and do any thing". Corvo didn't respond. And Luna just kept looking at his emotionless face. he then turned slightly and noticed those six same ponies were all growling at him. But they were each wearing something. They all wore necklaces, but the purple one wore some kind of crown. He then turned back to the princess and took a step forward, only to have all the guards surrounding him move closer.

The mark began to glow, and with that, time stopped. With amazing accuracy, he shot all around him. Shooting sleeping darts at only the guards. When time resumed, Luna found all the guards began to fall to the ground. Even Twilight and her friends were scared."You were saying"? Corvo taunted Luna who only replied by giving him a stare filled with daggers.

"That's it". Twilight yelled out loud."Girls, it's time to show this thing what we've got". And with that, they all closed their eyes as a big glow formed around them. Luna just gave an evil-like smile, knowing what Corvo was in for. Next Chapter: Desolation Estimated time remaining: 47 Minutes
