The Equestrian Guardian

Chap 45

David's heart beat inside his chest. He was staring at a monster that he had only heard of. "Radious… the destroyer." He mumbled as he drew both of his swords from their scabbards.

"Radious!! I am the Guardian of Equestria! I demand you surrender to me at once." David shouted up to the massive being. The creature's three heads slowly turned and looked down at him. David did his best to hide his fear from the creature, its large tentacles flowing behind it and eyeless heads growling at him was not making it easy however. "I said. Surrender!!" He repeated again using every bit of his voice that he could muster.

He was shocked however to hear the creature laugh at him. The laugh was cold and deep, emotionless. "Radious surrenders to no mere mortal." It said loudly. "I am invincible. I will drain this planet of any power it has, and then move on to another." It growled. "YOU'RE MAD!!!" David roared. "I won't let you get away with that!" David shouted letting his energy flow into his swords. "FOOL! I am RADIOUS!!! The power of this world will be MINE!!!!!!" The creature roared releasing dark waves of shadow like energy that caused the castle to collapse around him. "If you think I'm gonna let you hurt all these innocent ponies, then I'm afraid you're about to have a very PAINFUL wakeup call!! NOW DIE!!!" David shouted as shot off the ground like a rocket and flew right toward Radious's chest.

His pulse raced as he drove both swords direct into where he was sure the beast's heart was, but nothing happened. "What?! Why didn't that work?!" David shouted. "You're foolish weapons are nothing to me." Radious said as small dark tendrils came out of Raidious's skin and began latching on to David. "Now… you will be the first to be absorbed." "I don't think so!!!" David yelled as he pushed off of Radious's body with his feet and landed about 20 yards away. "Here we go! No holding back!!" David said as he began running toward the monster's legs.

"SPEED BREAK!!!" Light surged through David's body as he began to glow a light gold and zoomed between the monster's legs at full speed. As he ran past however deep gashes began appearing where he had just run. "Blink and you'll miss me Radious!! Can you keep up??" He shouted as he began running back and forth slashing at Radious. He jumped up in the air and drove his swords into Radious's back and began running up his spine toward its heads pulling the swords with him. The gash stretched across the monsters body as David continued running at full speed toward his goal, the monster's heads. "MEDDELING MORTAL!!!" Radious roared as his tentacles shot toward David. "SOLARIS!!" David shouted. There was a flash of light as the mighty alicorn's spirit appeared beside David. "Buy me some time!!" David said as he continued sprinting toward his target. "Of course!" Solaris responded as he changed into a massive being of energy and began attacking the tentacles.

David quickly reached his target and removed his swords and began sprinting up Radious's neck. He quickly reached the top and leaped high into the air. As he did Solaris flew by and flew into David's body. "My wings are yours Guardian." He whispered as massive angelic wings sprouted from David's armor. "Thank you Solaris. NOW!! GUARDIAN AND DARKNESS BLADES GO FORTH!!!" He roared as he hurled both swords into the left and right heads of Radious. The beast roared in agony as he flew by the middle head. "LIGHTNING STREAM!!!" David yelled pointing his finger toward the ceiling of the castle. As he did two massive bolts of lightning fell from the sky and struck both of the side heads of the massive creature. Electricity flowed through both of them as they shook and shuddered only to fall limp as the lightning faded.

"NOW FOR YOU!!!" David roared as he began combining his element powers in his hands. Despite losing his element bracer, now that he was the True Guardian he didn't need the bracer to support his powers. They were now stored inside him. Energy flowed from his body into his left and right hands. In the right hand there was a bright red sphere about the size of a basketball and was radiating a warm feeling. In the left hand there was a bright silver sphere, but this sphere was letting off a small breeze. "I'm ending this now!" David roared as he slammed the spheres together. The sphere combined and changed into one basketball sized pure white sphere that was radiating massive amounts of energy.

"The Power of the Creator flows through me Radious!!! Now feel the power of the Guardian… SOLARIS FIRE HURRICANE!!!!!" A massive storm of Fire and Wind made its way toward Radious. It looked the top of a Tornado of flame flying right toward the monster. The heat from the storm was so strong it vaporized all of the stone around David and set the entire castle on fire as it collided with Radious. David flew as quickly as he could toward the ceiling of the castle and burst through as a torrent of flame followed him nearly scorching him as he flew up and crashed down on top of the castle. He gasped for air, as he lay on his back looking up at the stars. "It's done…" He whispered as tears fell down his face. "I'm sorry Bio…" Tentacles suddenly burst from the ceiling around him and quickly wrapped themselves around David pinning him to the roof.

"WHAT THE HAY!!!???" Radious burst through the roof sending tile and pieces of cement raining down on David. "FOOLISH MORTAL!!! DID YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU KILLED ME??!!" The beast roared as its tentacles began crushing the life out of David. "I can NOT be killed by mere weaponry. To kill me… you would have to kill your Capt. Bio." As the beast said this it's skin and muscles opened up like a double door and revealed Bio inside the creature. Tubes of dark black muscle and veins were stuck inside of him and appeared to be sucking something out of him and into Radious. "He…lp….me….K…i.ll…me….pl…e.a…se" The figure moaned. "NO!!!! BIO!!!! YOU MONSTER!!!!!!" David roared as his blood began boiling inside of him. "NOBODY HURTS HIM!!!!" He screamed as he broke free of the tentacles and force fully yanked his swords out of the monsters heads with his magic. Leaving massive holes in its heads.

"FEEL MY WRATH RADIOUS!!!" David let his anger flow out of him like water out of a fire hose. His anger poured over him, filling his body with a burning sensation. His armor turned a bright red, and he began radiating a blood red aura. "Restrain yourself David. You don't have much time." Solaris's voice echoed in David's mind. "I know. I'll make it quick." David mumbled as he began charging energy in his hands again. "ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE RADIOUS WILL DIE!!!" The monster roared as its tentacles once again shot toward David. "Solaris…" David whispered. "I know…" The alicorn's voice replied. David shot the energy from his hands into the sky. It fired off like a pure gold arrow, and as it did Solaris flew out of David's body and followed it until they were out of sight. A bright flash of light then appeared as Solaris came speeding back to earth surrounded by a golden glow. "SOLAR STRIKE!!!!" Solaris roared as he crashed through Radious's body. The impact tore a massive hole in Radious's body.

Internal organs and body parts flew everywhere as the monster collapsed. Solaris flew back over to David and collapsed next to him. "I'm done… I have no more energy." The powerful alicorn whispered. "It's okay. Take a rest." David murmured as Solaris phased back into his body. David walked over to the gaping hole in Radious's chest where Bio was. "Bio!! Can you hear me??" He shouted. The stallion eyes looked up; they were a hazy glaze and were completely bloodshot. "Bio give me your hoof!! Come on its over!!" David smiled as he reached out his hand. "Radious cannot die as long as I live… you have to kill me to save everyone." Bio whispered. "HE'S DEAD BIO!!! GIVE ME YOUR HOOF, THE FIGHT'S OVER!!!" "No… it's only begun…" Radious's body suddenly lurched as the skin began reforming over Bio. "GIVE ME YOUR HOOF YOU IDIOT!!!!!" David screamed as the skin began sealing up. "BIO!!!!!!!!!" He roared as the opening closed.

Tears burned his eyes as Radious rose to its feet once again. "I grow weary of your resistance." The monster said as it grabbed David again. David tried to break out, but a sharp pain in his body caused him to go into a coughing fit which ended in him coughing blood onto the tentacles holding him. Radious slowly climbed to the top of Canterlot castle and looked down toward the Guardian Army. "BEHOLD THE POWER OF RADIOUS!!!!" The monster bellowed as all three heads began charging energy spheres in their mouths. David's mind immediately connected what he was doing. He was going to attack the army! "SPREAD OUT!!!! RUN!!!!! HE'S GONNA ATTACK!!!!!" David screamed as the monster fired its attack. "RUN!!!!!!!!!!" David's voice yelled as the spheres impacted the ground and created a massive explosion where the army had once been standing.

All was quiet as David listened to the sound of the wind, but slowly voices emerged, but they were the voices of those in pain. Cries of "Mother" and "Medic" could be heard from below. The roars of wounded Dragons and the screeches of Gryphons. It was one voice however that shook David's core. "HELP ME!! SOMEONE!!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!!! MOTHER!!! FATHER!!! ANYONE!!! I CAN SEE THE PEGASI ANGELS! DON'T LET THEM TAKE ME!!!!" The voice of this unknown soldier continued until his voice faded only to be replaced by the howl of the wind.

"You see now that no mortal being can stop Radious." The monster growled. David heard none of it… his anger and sadness were becoming too much for him to bear, so he let them explode outward.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" His scream was so loud it echoed across all of Equestria. He burst out of Radious's grip with a fierce glowing light wrapped around him, and fire in his eyes.

"SO MANY JUST DIED!!! YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!! SO MANY!!!!" He yelled with tears in his eyes. "I HATE CREATURES LIKE YOU!!!! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE!!!!!!!" He cried as he zoomed high into the sky, he climbed higher and higher ignoring the ice that was forming on his face. He reached the edge of the atmosphere and dove back toward Radious, his body covered in a bright gold fire. "TIME FOR YOU TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed as he plunged into Radious's body. He tore through the body like a bullet through paper and grabbed Bio's body as he passed through. He blasted out of the creature's back, with Bio in his arms and his armor drenched in a black blood.

The monster stumbled and fell off the roof of the castle and down into a chasm carved in the mountainside. David landed back inside the castle and threw Bio over his shoulders. His body ached with pain and he could feel his heart rate slowing down. His body began to get heavy as he walked out of the castle toward the waiting crowd of soldiers and Princess Celestia. Celestia and the others rushed forward as he stumbled out and laid Bio on the ground. "Will he be okay?" Luna asked. David smiled weakly. "Yeah… he'll be fine… he just needs….. rest..." he whispered as he fell backwards on the ground hearing the gasps and shouts of the others around him. As he felt himself hit the ground, Solaris's voice echoed in his ear. "Time's up. You don't have long. When you wake up… make sure you say you're goodbyes."

David slowly opened the eyes to see the concerned faces of Twi and the others around him. "Twi…?" He whispered. Twi gasped as she looked down at David. She threw her arms around him as everyone else flooded around them. "Ya'll sure took a beatin." AJ said. "He's the Guardian! He can take anything." Dash said in the distance. He smiled. "Not really Dash. I'm not gonna be around much longer." He whispered as he looked at Celestia's and Luna's sad faces. "WH-what do you mean?" Twi asked concerned. He slowly reached up and took Twi's hoof in his hands. "I broke the Guardian Oath. I'm dying…" He whispered as he saw that his hand was beginning to vanish in front of him with a pale yellow glow.

"DIE!!!!" Dash shouted. "Ya'll just saved everyone… you can't leave now." AJ said holding back tears. "I'm sorry… but I..." "DARLING NOT NOW!!!! YOU JUST SAVED ALL OF US!!!!" Rarity wailed. "I have no say in the matter." He smiled as he looked at all of them. "It's okay… I helped make this place safer for all of you… that's all I wanted." He slowly began vanishing from view as the pale light grew stronger. "David… big brother… I love you… why are you leaving me…?" Twi whispered as tears fell from her face onto David's armor. "I'm not leaving…. I'll always be here… this is my home…" "Please no!!! Don't leave me!!!!" Twi begged grabbing his hand. "Goodbye… Twilight… I love you…" he sighed as he vanished and the sun began to rise in the distance. "DAAVVVVVVIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
