Magic: the Gathering, Friendship is Magic -I think?-
Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Magic, Tokens, and Two Moons.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIf anyone read a book or know of a story that has teleportation in it and it says that whoever came out of a long distance teleport fine are fucking wrong! As I came out of my teleport I was on my knees with one hand on the ground and one to my head as if I got hit with a flipping sledgehammer, you see this is why I hate long distance teleportation they make you sick and make you see stars and it's annoying. Now I know what your going to say 'Didn't you use teleportation in Celestias castle, you were find then.' if so let you on something that I picked up on over the years, what I used was some short range teleports. They last about a half of a second and take little to no mana to use, which is why some asshole called that spell 'Blink' very useful to get to one place to another quickly. Now teleportation is something different but yet the same to the blink spell, to keep it short it's like blink but you can go much farther, there's two down sides to it one is that depending on how far you want to go is how much mana you use, in other words the father you go the more you use, like I can go from the top of the world to the bottom whenever I want but it will use a fuck ton of mana to use the spell. The other is that it takes longer to go from point A to point B, and for some reason I get ether a bad headache on the up side or I have to throw up on the bad side. Also here's a tip keep your eyes close when teleporting unless you like to go through a drug trip.
After doing of heavy breathing I stood up to get a good look around if I hit my mark with the teleport and it looks like I did since I'm now in the castle of the two sisters, I still remember it when it looked like a castle but for some reason it looks better as a ruin has that spooky hunted look to it. I went off to Luna's old room to see if my staff is still there, it took me a bit to find the place but I did and found my staff. Luna must of put some spells on it to keep it good because I see no dust or mold on it.
I took a bit to look around to find the tower where the main six will go to find Nightmare Moon, after that was done I went to the old library to do some reading as I wait for them to show. As I'm walking I look down to my left arm to see how much mana I have left, since I used my white mana pool to do a jump the gem was a little dimmer but still bright and shining as ever, the green gem slowly got brighter as I go and I also see the black gem slowly get a shine going , the red and blue gems are still dull so I have to go find a pond or go to the ocean to get some blue mana and to the mountains to get some red, maybe to a swamp for more black as I'm at it. I found the library and look for a history book that was both old yet not old to see if I can find out what happened over the past thousand years.
As I do that I will also tell you all how my magic works and the 4th wall can go to hell for a few minutes as I talk. You see I use the magic from the Magic: The Gathering game, you know that card game that your parents or older brother play at some points of their life or something like that, if you know how the game works great! if not well here's a crash course of how the whole magic works in the game, you get cards that are called land to build your mana pool which is one or more of the five colours Red, White, Blue, Green, and Black, a little more on those later, now as you build your land/mana pool you can use the land cards to summon minions, 'cast' spells and whatnot, and that how it works in the human world, my home but here it's different.
Here in Equestria magic is a real thing and so does the mana, and so does my spells. I can use my mana to cast spells and summon minions, like I can summon a elf if I want to or a Magma giant if I want to, but like the teleport spell the bigger the minion the more mana I get. At first I got here it was hard to use but after some time to learn and some time later with the help of good old Starswirl, I can summon stuff just by thinking it like a group of goblins 'Poof!' I have a group of goblins, elfs same thing, a big ass turtle, yup it will work. Stuff like a angels, big demons, giants, dragons that I have to put more mana I have to picture it and for like Really big stuff like a 'Skaab Goliath" I have to picture it and say or yell it's name out load. Spells are a little easier, from what I can do they all into three groups that work here, instant spells, sorcery spells, and enchantment/ aura spells, the first group are your fast damaging/ counting spells like lighting bolt, and well counter. The second is more of your bigger spells that take some time to cast like a fireball. The last group are more long lasting spells that ether take a lot of mana or not so much, spells that make you faster, stronger, or weaker, or slower are in that group. With the help of Starswirl I can also use Equestria spells with my mana such as blink, teleport, some heals, and some freaking laser beams!
Anyway that all I wanted to say now let's get back to me in the library, now were was I? Oh yeah this is the part were a weird ass voice came out of no were.
"Jace Beleren" said the weird ass voice came out of no were, I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard that as I grabbed my staff and per paired a mana blase to fight whoever said that comes out, after a few moments of waiting and that no one came out I went around to see if someone, pony, or thing is hiding. I found nothing and as I was walking back to my spot I heard the voice again,
"Jace Beleren, the displacement summoner....." it said, I looked around to fire at something it said made me think,
"Displacement why did you called me that?" I asked as I raked my brain of where I heard that before.
"A displacement is what you are, and for that you need to make a token....." the voice said, displacement, token, ding ding! We found the answer when I remember that there was stories that what under the 'Displace' tag that a friend sent me, if I'm part of the displacement thing that means......
"So let me get this straight, I'm a displacement and if I want to travel into other Equestrias I have to make a token?" I asked I don't know much of the whole displacement thing but if I'm lucky I can get someone who's know's more about it to tell me,
"Yes now pick something that you are apart of to be a token and make a message so the other displacements know that your one of them and throw it into the void....." as the voice said that a portal opens in front of me, I had to think of what my token is going to be, think think, hmmm oh I know!
I reach back in my back pocket -yes I have back pockets- and pulled out a talisman it was like a coin but it was a big as my palm and it had 5 gems in a star pattern, white on the top, below that on the left was green, to the right blue, below the blue was black and below green red. Now I have a token base all I need is a message, after a minute I lift my token and said out loud "My name is Jace Beleren, Master of the 5 Colour manas, Caller of the elements, The Summoner if you wish for my help in a fight, or just a friend to talk to I will come and help."
After I said that I tossed my token in the portal and watch as it split into millions of the same thing and shoot out to who knows where, after that was done I asked the voice if that was all, it didn't answer so I take that as a yes, after that I looked out to see the sun was somewhat setting meaning the big fight was going to happen soon, so I grabbed my staff and made my way to the tower and waited for the show to come.
(A couple hours later, in the tower)
I almost fell asleep when I heard the sound of a blink spell happened, luckily I cast a spell that made me invisible and I looked out to see Nightmare Moon. As I saw her I couldn't help but shed a tear as I saw her, that was Luna in her darkest hour and here I was doing nothing to help, I know that this had to happen but I don't like that I had to sit here and watch.
As I was turning away I caught something in the corner of my eye, no that wasn't it, I FELT something in the corner of my eye. I looked back at Nightmare and stared at her, no it can't be, Luna can't be one she didn't get the hang of it until she was older, but if it is. I narrowed my eye to see if I'm right or not as I do so I could feel something in Nightmare but I can't be sure, I'm snapped out of it when I hear the doors open and looked over and saw the main 6, I fade back into the shadows and watch as what was happening happen.
(One rainbow beam of FRIENDSHIP!!!!! later)
After I blinked the stars out of my eyes after seeing the rainbow beam I looked up to see that Luna was on the floor wearing a midnight blue dress and not looking all evil 'take over the world' and stuff, I look over and to see the main 6 standing around Celestia as she congratulate them for what happen then walk over to give Luna a hug. As that happen I could hear Luna sobs as a sad smile came to me and shook my head as I slowly and quietly move closer to them, keeping my eyes on Luna if I'm right I could feel it as I get closer and see if I'm right.
As I moved closer and let my senses reach trying to see if it's there, I feel nothing , no spark no nothing, I stop to think this through. Maybe I was wrong maybe I was still out of it after I was in stone for a long time, maybe that was it.
I heard a couple of gasps coming before me as I snapped my head up to see everyone with a shocked face, I didn't understand what was going on until I heard something to my right, I slowly turn my head to see what it was and my jaw hit the floor.
Slowly sitting up was a woman in a black dress, black fur and the same mane as Luna, it was Nightmare Moon, ok what. What the fuck is going on she should be gone, the blast should of taken care of her I know it should I seen it happen. If that was so how in hell is she still here.
When I was thinking that Nightmare started to look around to see what's going on and for a second her eye lock to mine, she had sapphire coloured eyes that looked normal then before but I didn't pay attention to that, what I was looking at, or more like feel made my eye widen, I feel a spark, a spark of magic that I once felt a long time ago, on the day I came to Equestria. I can't believe it, she has the spark, the one of a Planeswalker, that can't be right she can't have that spark she was part of Luna and in hindsight Luna should of have that spark, but Nightmare has that spark and not Luna. My mind went into overdrive of think how this has happen, could Luna made a split personality that over the thousand years became it own spirit? and Luna did try to tap into the 5 manas before hand so that could happen, so much is going on, to many unknowns, if I could find out more..... this is big, very big.
I looked at Nightmare and saw a face of fear as she began to push away to a fallen rock, I didn't know what was going on until I saw a purple light that made me turn to look, and I saw Twilight charging her horn with her magic to do a spell that I know very well and I almost freaked. She going to kill her, she going to kill Nightmare moon and I can't believe it, at first I thought that was kinda badass but that lasted for a second. Oh shit she going to kill her! No I have to stop her I can't let this happen! I pull my hood up and took off my spell hey if I'm going to do this I'm doing this in a badass somewhat scary way, I walk over in front of the to as my spell slowly fade as I said my line in a low anger threatening voice,
"I wound't do that if I was you."
(<Twilight POV> after the blast and seeing Nightmare Moon)
I don't understand, the Elements of Harmony should of got ride of Nightmare Moon from Luna, that should of happened but why is she still here? How is she still alive? I didn't think of that at the moment all I was thinking was that when she get's back up and gets her bearings she's going to attack us and I don't think we can pull off another beam from the Elements of Harmony, so I did the next best thing I charge for a magic blast, if I can keep her on the ground maybe Celestia can get over her shock and help me.
I moved forward as I charge my spell Nightmare saw me and stared to push away from me as I continued I looked at her face, she had a face of fear why? Was she scared of me, is she really scared? No no that's not it she's faking it just so I can lower my guard well that's not going to work, I move a little more forward and I was about ready to fire,
"I wound't do that if I was you." A low voice said out of no where, almost jumped at it and almost lost my spell, it seems that everyone heard because they were looking around for the voice.
"What the hay was that?" Rainbow said, I narrow my eyes to see where it was coming from, I glance over to where Celestia and Luna were standing up, Luna had a surprised look and Celestia didn't look that surprise as if she knew the voice. I looked forward and saw a shimmer of magic that I didn't see before, how?
As the shimmer cleared what stood in front of me was something I didn't know what it was, it looked like a shaved Minotaur with no horns and tail, it had a dark blue clothes on and a hood and cape as well with metal clasps with red symbols on them and a gauntlet with 5 gems in it on its left hand, in his right he holds a staff with a raven on the top of it. He looked at me with bright blue threatening eye's that almost made me lose my spell, what is it? I never seen it before, is it from Nightmare Moon, if not why is it protecting her? I slowly lower my horn to fire my spell and I heard my teacher call out to me.
"No! My student don't do it, he's not the enemy!" that made me stop my spell and I looked over to her with a questionable look.
"What why Princess, why not? Who is he?" I asked her, as she open her mouth she stopped and looked at Luna who was at the point of tears, she walked forward a bit and started to speak.
"That man right there's, he's" Luna choked back a sob, she looked to him with tears falling from her eyes "He's our Uncle!" Luna said as she ran over to him and cried into his shirt.
Next Chapter: Chapter 4: Starting a new path! and it starts with a Magma giant Estimated time remaining: 10 Hours, 48 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
Boom! Luna get's to see her uncle after a couple thousands of years, that's a happy yet sad moment.
But wait! Nightmare is still around and has the spark of a Planeswalker! Holy shit who could of seen that coming!!! I did you asses I writing the dang story so I know!
So yeah chapter 3 has come and now gone and I got to say it took me a bit to write this one, I wanted to get some info out of the way so I can get thing's moving, I know that the first part of this chapter a bit boring but I didn't have any other way to do that, so yeah not the greatest beginning but hey this is how I write shit, sorry not sorry.
Anyway as you can guess I put in how Jace use magic, I know it simple to work but I like it simple, it helps that I don't need to go through a lot of cards for a monster or spell. If your still confused of how it works here's a shorter version of it. Jace can case spells using his mana that he has stored before hand, he can summon monsters that are like elves, beasts, goblins, etc in mass but bigger stuff needs more power.
Anyway what else I got to say.... OH yeah it's a displacement story! and I got his token out there, so if you want him to show up just PM me to ask :)So now that is out of the way I got one last thing to say, since next week is Christmas week I think I got an idea for what I want to do for it, and no it's has nothing to do with story. If you want to know well I shouldn't but well here a little thing I got planed SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Anyway that's all I got for you all, see you in the next chapter! xD
