Dear disloyal fans, I apologies once more for the long delay in updates, I had some bad writers block. At least I’m posting chapters 10, 11, and 12 in one day, right? So... yeah. On with the chapter

Chapter 11

Terra/Lumos’ POV

As I flew towards the… odd explosion, I noticed it unclenching its fist, and trying to swat me away. I dodged easily with simple up and downward movements at first, but then the hand exploded again, knocking me out of the sky and sending me spiraling to the ground. As I fell, a single shout escaped my lips: “FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU---”

*whump*

Oh, I’m sorry ground, I didn’t see you there.

I rose slowly, trying to heal myself while calling forth my dark armor with white half spheres sticking out of the palms, AngelBane, and the rest of my arsenal, all my weapons -which were fully condensed to their minimum size which was only a little bigger than a switchblade- all hanging at my side, I immediately reached for my spear.

A scream of pain erupted from my mouth as I obtained an extremely painful headache, and a pair of broken ears, which I gripped as I fell to the ground again. This time, I looked around carefully before I got up, still trying to heal myself, with my ears as my top priority. I saw a man standing over me, he had a black bandana over the top of his head, wore a short sleeve black shirt, with blue jeans. He had eyes which… wait, are those ripples forming in his eyes? Oh right, descriptions, the “white” of his eyes were a pitch black, the irises were a sea blue, and finally, the ripples on his eyes, which started at his pupils, as well as the pupils themselves, were both white as a perfect cloud. Also his body was a sort of thin, bony build, but his muscles were obviously underworked, and were sagging a little bit.

I reached for AngelBane again, only for him to open his mouth, which created such a loud noise that my ears nearly broke again, I quickly grabbed my ears once more, and began to scream in pain, my vision was turning red from the blood flowing from my ears into my eyes, my screams began to dull as I healed my ears with my light, which is when the man spoke.

“Well, now that you’re done with the screams, I suppose I might as well tell you this: you’re going to die here. You see, the death of one of our kind is required to awaken the great one, and I’m not letting this chance pass up!”

My mind then went nearly into overdrive, asking and trying to answer its own questions ‘who the fucking hell is this guy? Who is the “great one”? Oh right, he must be the one trying to awaken Discord. What is this guy’s power?’ But all that made it out was “Who…?”

The man simply shook his head slowly, and said “I might as well grant you that,” Oh hey, no accent! That’s odd actually… oh wait he is still speaking, “my name is Carlos, and I am a sound master, and I could hear you coming from miles away, after all, with power over sound, one has great hearing, and a great VOICE!!” Shouting the last word so loudly that I believe it would have given the royal equestrian voice a run for its money, immediately breaking both my ears again.

This time, I didn’t heal the wound. Instead, I dulled my pain and stopped the bleeding with my light, hardened my dark armor, drew AngelBane, and charged, shouting “Onward and forward, to victory, and DEAAAATH!”

I charged forward, with AngelBane in one hand, a shield of light in the other, and a full outfit of dark armor. My first strike was aimed at his legs, but he opened his mouth, and my arm felt a sudden pain, and I could swear I would have heard a loud crack had my ears just now not broken. I made my dark armor hold the sword in place while I used my light to mend the bones as fast as I could while dulling the pain. My blade made a cut in his lower left thigh, almost all the way through, the man just grinned, and said something, but I couldn’t hear it with my broken ears, even if they weren’t, I probably wouldn’t have listened, I swung my blade again, only for him to knock it out of my hands, I then gripped my mace, and swung at the man’s jaw, knocking him to the ground. While he was down, I gripped my mace as hard as I could in my hand, and held it above me, ready to stop the man who had nearly awakened Discord. Only for another blast of pain to occur in my gut, only this time, it was a bit of a sharper pain, followed by a wet sensation covering my skin. I looked down to see… AngelBane coming out of my stomach, a warm liquid came up my throat, out my mouth, and flowed down my jaw. I then proceeded to fall on the other man, the blade impaling us both. I managed to convert all of the light energy in me into healing the wounds after dissipating AngelBane from me, starting with my life threatening wounds, then my arm, and finally my ears. A bolt of lightning struck nearby, and it began to rain… chocolate milk? As the rest of my strength left me I heard a maniacal laughter coming from above me.
________________________

Clare’s POV:

The chocolate milk rain stung my eyes as I flew toward Canterlot. ‘Ok, let’s see, ‘ I thought as I mentally mapped out escape routes and how I would hide if I am seen ‘if I’m caught by the guard, I will likely be either tortured, or dissected for the sake of science, so I think I’ll take as much of an advantage as I can, ok, maybe… well fuck me…’ That last part was my reaction to what I saw in the garden, Lumos was lying on top of another person, a sword made of light stabbed through him, and a certain deity of chaos floating over him, laughing.

I quickly fell into the bushes, and began editing the gravity in the air around Discord, who immediately stopped laughing, and squeaked as he fell to the ground, leaving a two foot deep hole in the ground, in that way that’s shaped exactly like the character in a cartoon or something. I then floated him up again, and pulled his body in five directions with as much force as I could. Discord screamed with pain as his skin, flesh, and bone tore into many pieces, his grey blood flowing all around the area, covering Lumos and the other human, who were right below… wait a second…

‘Where is that sword, the one that seemed to be made of light? And that dark stuff that covered Lumos?’

I ran over to the body pile, and was shocked by what I had found.

I barely recognized Lumos. He had extremely long, Shiny silver hair, but that wasn’t what shocked me, he had two pairs of wings coming out of him, a large pair of angel wings out of his upper back, and a smaller pair of his white, and black tipped batwings coming out of his legs, folded in so they looked like a design on his pants. He also had his horns and tail, but his normal skin, and both white and black energy arced over his body in random places, but mostly around his head and chest, speaking of which, it had an odd symbol on it. His nails were Pitch Black, and about two inches long, like claws. I wonder, was he always this fit? He also seems to have grown a couple inches… height wise, not his… how do I put it… member, you perverts. Damn, why am I blushing now? I should hide him and the other guy, before the guard gets--

“Stop right there, criminal scum! Nobody breaks the law on MY watch.” (A/N: couldn’t resist lol)

--here… ‘Well fuck me…’ I was surrounded a matter of seconds. In response, I opened up a tunnel that went almost strait down underneath the bodies by forcing different particles of dirt and whatever this pavement stuff is away from each other, and jumped in behind them, closing it behind us to buy time. I then increased the gravity on myself to fall faster, and got in front of the other two, grabbing them, and then changing the direction of the tunnel to head at level directly forward. I wouldn’t have been able to see if Lumos hadn’t been glowing somehow. I don’t remember him doing that before, maybe it’s because he is in a pitch black environment… eh, whatever. I then proceeded to charge for the exit of the mountain.

Aqua’s POV:

-_ Meanwhile in the lost woods cave_-

My thoughts raced while I waited for the return of Both Lumos and Shade ‘I wonder where Lumos is right now? I saw him running full speed out of the cave, but where did he go? Not only that, but it was also right after I went to go out to get food, and now we have no way of cooking it, and he’s been gone for HOURS, I guess I will settle for jerky for now but still… ow! Bit my tongue… Why did Shade follow him? Should I have followed? No, no, it’s a good thing that I didn’t, after all, if we all went, who would watch the cave?’

A couple hours later, Shade returned with a rather fat badger slung over her shoulder, and told me she was nearly the “toy,” of a kappa, (A/N: if you don’t know what I mean, then for the love of your sanity, don’t look it up, I’m not mentioning that kind of shit here. If you DO look it up though, you might as well also look up the Popobawa [yes that is spelt correctly], and imagine if you met both at the same time what would happen to you. The least explicit way I can say it is it’s a real pain in the ass) at which I laughed, only to get a glare and a punch in the chest, damn she’s strong. Man, I hope that Lumos returns soon, it’s nearly been the whole day, normally he only leaves for a couple hours at most. May Luna guide you back to us, Lumos...?

OMFG I FOUND A WAY TO USE CLIFFHANGERS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CHAPTER!!!! Oh, right, the authors notes, here they are -v

A/N: First off, nice going Lumos, you did almost nothing to stop Discord, though you did stop that mysterious guy from living through it. On a semi related note, just because Discord has died, doesn’t mean he’ll never me mentioned again, even if he was but one bump in the road in the Tales of Illumination… Yes, that’s what I’m changing the name to, also I’m editing the description as well, and it’s not that accurate right now.

Lumos’ new shape is a plot device I do plan on using, how? Lol, I’m not telling you! On the other hand… still no

I apologize for my low writing ability; I will try better in whatever future there is for me.

Also in case you haven’t guessed it yet, Clare’s power is true gravity manipulation, she can make things heavier, lighter, condense objects, change the gravitational pull on objects, change the direction of gravity on herself and other things, causing flight (sort of), and in combination with Lumos’ darkness manipulation, can create a black hole, from which even light cannot escape.

Anyway, I will be posting this chapter, as well as 12 at the same time if I finish both before my vacation is over, thereby finishing part one of this story. In other news, I am no longer using my Fanfiction account after I finish posting chapter twelve on both, to those who have given me advice for what I need to fix, who sadly amounted to about 3 people on Fanfiction.net, and I think one of Fimfiction, I thank you for it, I will give names in the next chapter. MaDmAN12435/Cloud Nova falling out!
