Chapter 12: When In War Darkness Will Prevail

Silver arrived in canterlot faster than she expected. She she sprinted into the throne room of the castle to see Luna and Celestia standing in the middle of the room talking about something. "Princess Celestia, Luna the time has come to defend our homeland........ Discords army approaches...." Silver said with a stern, militaristic look on her face. "we don't have much time until they arrive, Twilight Sparkle and the others are evacuating Ponyville and everyone is headed to the City of Canterlot right this moment. we have around four hours until Brock awakens and about three and a half to three hours until discord reaches ponyville. we must move every soldier available into ponyville and set up a blockade between the City of canterlot and the mountain across the valley. I have already ordered every possible man in ponyville be trained to fight and remain in ponyville with the soldiers to fight off Discord. the body of the Comatose Brock will be placed on the balcony of my training hall surrounded by a barrier that can only be broken from the inside. Brock will be protected until he awakens and we will hold off Discord long enough to give him time to awaken." Silver said to the two. "and why is it that we cannot stop Discord?" Luna asked. "Because princess Luna, you know not the ancient language in which to activate the strongest spell in the history of existence. it was created by your parents four hundred years before your time. Dusk and Dawn used it to create life on barren wasteland planets like this one once was. but it was also used to destroy life....... it is called "Kael Hormar O Ragnarok" which translates to "The Hands Of Annihilation" or as it was used by your parents "The Hands Of Existence". Silver said as luna held a hand over her mouth. "it is the greatest spell to ever grace the universe..... but it is also the worst. Your father used the hands of annihilation to wipe planets clean of life and your mother used the hands of existence to create new life." Silver said with a sigh. "such a beautiful and painful process... i wish you would have been there to see it for yourselves...... many alicorns once walked this world long before your parents. i was one of them, my name was Shadowmare. i was trying to bring about everlasting night to overthrow the prince of the ancient land we stand on now. his name was Fire Storm, and he was my brother..... he had a dear friend he loved like a brother and i took him from him.... we were at war at the base of this very mountain and it was his army against mine. i had finally found my way to him when i was about to kill him, his friend jumped into the way of my shadow blade. it pierced him through the heart and faded into his body like a shadow and poisoned him........ the last words that Lightning Striker spoke before leaving his death were these: Thank you for the best life a man could ask for Fire..... but now it is time to go.......... Loyal to the end....... my King........" Silver stopped and started crying. she stopped herself and looked back at them. "Fire Storm closed his eyes and let a tear escape from it. he uttered the words "how many lives Sister? is one life enough..... or will thousands fall before you are satisfied?! he stopped and looked at me. his eyes were white with rage as he floated into the air. he screamed into the night sky: "THE NIGHT WILL RULE EQUESTRIA NOOO MOOORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" as he did a white light flashed from his body and he was gone i never saw him again... but i was not left to rule as i was sent adrift in time for five hundred years until i broke the spell. i was released the same night nightmare moon was created." Silver stopped as The two princess's gasped and looked at each other and then back at her. "yes it is no coincidence that Nightmare was created the same night i was released. i possessed luna to fight against the sun once more. i had only been through the thousand years i was alone with Luna that my memories bonded with hers and i changed from Shadowmare to Nightmare Moon. i am sorry Luna but we will have to discuss this matter later right now we have a planet to save!" Silver said as the three flew out the window to alert the army.

about two and a half hours later the men of ponyville had been trained and were awaiting the army of day and night to arrive. the whole town was arriving in Canterlot just a few moments ago. the elements of harmony and balance stood at the barrier that separated the two armies. behind them stood the men of ponyville with armor and any weapons they could use to bring some real hurt on others. just as the army of Chaos approached they stopped and looked at their foes as the army of day and night approached from behind the residents of ponyville. Silver, Dusk, Dawn, Celestia, Luna, and Starfire all sat flying high above their army. "DISCORD!! HEAR MY CALL!!" Celestia screamed. "IF YOU WISH TO SURVIVE THIS DAY YOU WILL CALL YOUR ARMY BACK TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL AND RETREAT WHILE YOU CAN!!!" Celestia continued to scream. "Me? Retreat? HAAAAHAAHAAHAAHAHAAAAA!!!! oh Celestia you always tell the funniest of jokes. now lets get this show on the road already!" Discord screamed back to her. "so be it....... everyone!! our two armies approach one another!! A time of war is upon us!! if we fail in this battle only one thing awaits us..... should we fail, RAGNAROK APPROACHES!!!!!" Celestia screamed to her army. "NOW MY ALICORNS INTO THE SKY!!!!!!! TO WIN, OR DIE!!!!!!!!" Celestia screamed as her and the other alicorns flew into the air. "FOR THE PRESERVATION OF EQUESTRIA AND PEACE, ATTAAAAACK!!!!!!!!" Dusk and Dawn shouted in unison. both armies charged one another smashing into each other with excessive brute force. an army of pegasi sat flying above the army of night and day firing arrows at Discords army. his army returned fire with their own arrows. "keep fighting everyone!! we have to hold them back for a half hour more and this fight will be ours!!" Luna screamed. both armies held each other so well that the battle came to a standstill in area movement terms. it had taken about twenty minutes for Dusk and Dawn to call for a retreat back to canterlot. everyone was falling back as the sky archers held the Chaotic army at bay. everyone had reached Canterlot on foot or through the air but everyone was safe except for the large number of soldiers that were injured. very few people had actually died in the battle's and they would be remembered by everyone as the hero's of the first Equestrian war in five and a half thousand years. "KEEP ATTACKING HIM!!!" Silver shouted as the alicorns and her attacked Discord directly. Discord activated a spell and knocked Dusk and Dawn out cold. they plummeted to the earth landing in the training hall after breaking through the roof. he attacked Celestia and Luna and threw them to the ground at the entrance of the Castle. "Four down, two to go......" Discord said as he turned to face Starfire and Silver. Silver pulled out her dual obsidian Blades and hid her son behind her. she charged him and cut off his right hand and shoved a blade through his side. both hit's sending a deep poison shooting through his body as he grabbed her by the throat and threw her down to the ground in Ponyville. "i've waited soooo long for this day." Discord said as his hand regrew and ha walked towards Starfire. he pulled out a sword from thin air and held it above his head and was about to drop it on Starfire when he heard a noise. Brock's eyes shot open and he looked to see Discord. "NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" Brock said as he warped in front of Discord. Discord slashed at Starfire but was blocked by Brock's arm. Discord gasped as he saw brock floating in front of him. he was wearing a full pitch-Black set of armor covered from head to toe in armor made from pure Darkness. he held two swords at his sides made of Darkness as well. Discord was scared of the man that stood before him. but what scared him the most was his eyes. Discord looked into Brock's eyes and moved backwards some. his eyes were not the same as they were normally a bright turquoise color with a sky blue outline an dragon shaped pupils. now they were all pitch black except for the pupils. the pupils were the only thing that made them look like eyes, they were pure white. Brock's hair was also a bright white color as he looked into Discords eyes as if he was staring into his soul. Brock pushed away Discords sword and raised his right hand to his left shoulder and smacked Discord to the ground with lightning speed. Brock just sat there floating in mid air as the smoke from the crash cleared. he turned to face his son and hugged him. he looked into his eyes and warped him and all of the other alicorns onto the balcony of the training room so they would have a perfect view of this once-in-a-lifetime event. they all awoke violently and watched as Brock stared at Discord. no one moved, not the alicorns, no one. even both armies were still with fear at the sight they were witnessing. "haha Brock well done, you sure know how to pack a punch don't you?" Discord said as he moved his arm and leg back into place. he was then pinned to the ground by bars of steel that impaled the ground around him and held him in place. "Discord, you are here to be tried for crimes against harmony. you are tried with the crimes of reeking chaos, Threatening The lives of royalty, Bringing war in a time of peace, attempting to destroy peace in equestria and all of the world, and attempting to murder billions of people all at once. do you deny these charges?" Brock asked calmly. "do i DENY these charges? of course not!" Discord said with a laugh. "then by law of the true King and Queen of equestria, Dawn Shine and Dusk Breeze, i have no choice but to sentence you to immediate execution by any means necessary." Brock said as his hand began to ignite with fire. his body started sparking with electricity as a fire ball appeared in his left hand and a lightning ball appeared in his right. he held them together until they became one. "Kein pal Korack santaros maferock ill pein ko sulyek talnor interos amletoras korol ansatores emlenoren keal pon kalovnera neyek pon sulyek intero contros intarno krein yol Kael Hormar O Ragnarok!!!!!!" Brock screamed as he pulled his hands back behind his back and held them together. everyone watched in awe as the light disappeared from around equestria and the sun and moon disappeared. suddenly, everyone was blinded by a bright yellow, orange and black light spiraling through the air until it combined into one pitch black beam of light that was so bright it could be seen in the pitch black darkness. it flew through the air, ripping apart the sound and speed barriers as it struck it's target. for about five minutes all that could be heard were the screams of the god of chaos. "NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT CAN'T END LIKE THIIIIS!!!! IT JUST CAAAANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Discord screamed as he started to evaporate into dust. his skin began to burn to pieces and he tried to escape but was held down. he suddenly burst into flame and disappeared into the darkness. the black beam disappeared and the sun and moon reappeared. Brock just sat in the air holding the bottom wrists of his hands together as his hands smoked after firing the beam. he pulled his hands back and looked to see the other alicorns standing at the head of the army of day and night along with the elements of Balance and Harmony. Brock's wings flapped ever so slightly as he landed on the ground in front of Celestia and Luna. he held his right hand up to his left shoulder again but this time he spun around and fired a similar beam of energy all across the army of Chaos, evaporating them on the spot. he turned and faced Celestia and bowed. "thy holy princess of light......." Brock stopped and looked up at her with a hand on his chest. "tis done....." he whispered and then looked back down only to warp away to where no one could find him. "What just happened to him Silver?" Luna and Celestia asked in unison. "that was something i hoped i would never have to witness again......... it is a shift for the guardian of Nightmare called "The Wrath Of Eternal Darkness" it is activated when the guardian sees someone hurt me." Silver said as she picked up the helmet Brock had worn. "does anyone know where he might have gone?" Silver asked and no one replied. she cast a tracking spell on the helmet. she gasped and dropped the helmet and started crying. there was no hope of Silver finding her husband...... he had not only left canterlot, he had completely vanished from existence......
