With Ice and Blades
Chapter 7: Chapter 6 - (I am a total idiot...)
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“We have to save her” Celestia exclaimed as the other members of the elements of harmony arrived.
“What's wrong?” Rainbow asked confused.
“The Nightmare is after Luna” Twilight said.
“Celestia it could be a trap” Vadik said to the distort Alicorn.
“That's why I am taking the elements of harmony” She said as her horn glowed.
“Wait, what about….” Vadik tried to say before she teleported with the six mares. “Me… fuck” He growled as a bright red flash occurred in his peripheral vision causing him to turn his head see a massive burning sphere where Canterlot was a few moments earlier. “Shit” he muttered before turning to a guard. “You!”
“Yes?” the stallion asked.
“Gather every single guard you can find and meet me at the station in half an hour” Vadik ordered.
“Why? You're not the boss of me” The stallion said crossing his arms moments before Vadik grabbed the stallion roughly by his mane and pulled him close to his own.
“Because you little shit, you serve this nation and your Princess,which now both are in danger so get all of the guard and meet me at the station so we can save both.” Vadik growled causing the guard to gulp before Vadik dumped him on the ground.
“Y-yes sir” The guard stuttered before running off as Vadik returned to Twilight’s castle to retrieve his bag and weapons. Once he arrived at the crystal castle, he was greeted by an Azural Mare in what appeared to be a wizard cloak, Hat and black armour, around her neck was a black amulet with a red gem in the middle and her eyes had red energy pouring from them.
“Well hello short, dark and adorable” The man said crossing his arms as the mare growled.
“The Great and Powerful Trixie is not Adorable” She growled as her horn glowed, forming a black crystal bladed staff in her hands.
“Now Trixie is it? I don't want to kill you” He said resulting in the mare laughing at him before blasting him with a powerful blast, which to her surprise only resulted in the man sliding back a few feet.
“What! HOW!” She shouted.
“Simple, i have ancient Dragon blood running through my veins and Ancient Dragons greatly immune to non elemental magic” He said as he removed the ruined shirt.
“B-but… Trixie doesn't know Elemental magic” She said moments before she let out a scream of pain and dropped to her knees holding the amulet. “P-please Master, Trixie will defeat him” She sobbed and grabbed her crystal staff but was unable to lift it resulting in her looking to see Vadik with his boot holding it against the floor.
“Let me help” Vadik said grabbing the Amulet.
“No!” She shouted out in a concerned tone as Vadik placed his free hand on her chest and tore the amulet from the mare causing her to fall unconscious while a intense pain ripped through Vadik’s causing him to throw the amulet away, not realizing that it hit a wall hard enough to shatter the gem in the trinket and release a ripple of energy.
After a few moments a dark grey Alicorn slightly smaller than Twilight, her mane was a light dusty grey and she was in ruined armour as she panted on her hands and knees. “What hath thou done thou miserable cretin?” the mare demanded as she looked up at the man, who was approaching her.
“Just freeing an obviously controlled Mare from the likes of a who're like you” He said with a smile before raising his armoured boot above her head. “Nothin personal doll” He said as he slammed his foot down, crushing the weakened Alicorn’s head which quickly burnt away along with the rest of her body leaving nothing left save for some ash and her armour. Once he dispatched the Alicorn, he returned to the unconscious mare and proceeded to pick her up and carry her to his room, where he removed her shoes and placed her under the covers before leaving the room to retrieve his gear from the study.
Once he had collected his gear, Vadik returned to the entrance hall and made his way to the train station to find not a single guard but instead found Discord laying on a pink cloud. “It took you long enough” Discord chuckled.
“I needed my equipment, where are the guards?” Vadik asked.
“Hiding with their families” Discord said resulting in Vadik to groan.
“Great, Now what?” He asked.
“Well I can take you and give you something to help separate the nightmare from the ponies” Discord explained.
“What's the catch?” Vadik asked.
“Why do you think there is a catch?” Discord asked slightly hurt.
“You are a Lord of Chaos” Vadik said Simply.
“Fair enough, well I don't want my best friend to be I danger as she has panic attacks.” Discord said.
“okay then why are you not helping?” the human inquired.
“They have a weapon that can kill me” Discord explained “but they don't have anything against you or even known of you.” He explained.
“Comforting” Vadik stated before taking a glance at the burning orb in the distance “Let's do this” He said moments before the sound of party poppers was heard and both Vadik and Discord vanished in a proof of confetti before reappearing in the Canterlot castle’s throne room in the same manner to be greeted with the sight of Celestia under a golden dome which she was sustaining with two of the elements of Harmony with her unconscious along with the mare known as Glimmer Shield contributing to the shield while the Pink Mare known as Cadence held her child close to her form. Looking up from the dome, Vadik was greeted with the sight of a hooded Pony sitting upon holding a interesting staff with a blood red gem in it’s head, to the pony’s flank was a sapphire blue Dragoness in a dirty torn platinum dress with her wings and muzzle bound, to the opposite of the hooded pony was two Alicorns standing tall and smiling at the sun deity’s predicament. The first was a black Mare with a flowing starry mane, her eyes were midnight blue and similar to that of a reptile, she wore Onyx plate armour with a sword strapped to her hip. The white alicorn stallion by her had a red burning mane and wore golden armour and was holding a Battle axe in his hand.
Currently blasting away at Celestia’s defense was a grey unicorn stallion with a blackened crown upon his head, red and black plate armour and strange red and black magic burning from his eyes similar to Trixie when she was possessed by the Alicorn. “Why haven't they noticed us?” Vadik asked.
“Oh I have placed us in a parallel dimension, we can see them but they can't see us” Discord said stretching as Vadik nodded before removing his chest plate, Weapons and Rucksack. “What are you doing?” The Chaos Lord asked.
“I am going to use the black star” He said getting onto his knees.
“The what?” Discord asked as a question mark literally appeared above his head.
“It allows me to triple my Strength, Speed, Mana, Endurance, Pain resistance, reflexes, etcetera “ He said moving his right hand over the mark and placed his fingers on each point of the five point star over his heart.
“And how is this possible?” Discord asked curious.
“It drains my life force and soul, each level is triple the multiplier but also triple the drain, also I kind of loose myself the higher the level” he said, the last part near a whisper.
“Okay then, just don't hurt the Black Alicorn Mare or the Dragoness and I shall look for my dear Fluttershy and her friends” Discord said before clicking his fingers as he suddenly vanished along with the rest of Vadik’s that he removed.
“Hey what is that?” the Hooded pony demanded as they pointed to Vadik.
“No idea but why is it half naked?” the white stallion asked as Vadik muttered a quiet incantation before rotation his hand resulting in all of his tattoos to glow bright blue and the temperature of the Hall to instantly shift from room temperature to that of the Crystal Empire.
Vadik didn't say anything as he got to his feet “ Solaris, Nightmare Moon, Destroy it” Hooded pony ordered as the White stallion charged at Vadik only to for the human to grab him by the muzzle and slam the shocked stallion into the ground but before Vadik could do anything further, Nightmare Moon blasted the human on the chest, sending him tumbling away as Solaris climbed to his feet.
“You’re fast and strong you colt of a whorse” Solaris chuckled wiping a little trail of blood from his nose. “But not fast en… “The Tyrant wasn't able to finish his sentence as he discovered a fist connecting with his jaw, Dislocating it moments before he was sent into the throne, shattering it completely.
“You'll pay for that for that Human” Nightmare growled as she drew her sword and took flight at the human, but she was caught off guard as he opened his hand and a massive blinding flash occurred, Blinding the queen of nightmares and causing her to fly into a Celestia’s Force field, knocking herself out completely.
“What? B-but how?” the Hooded pony asked as Vadik chuckled as he walked over to Nightmare and collects her sword.
“I activated a simple leach spell on Solaris when i slammed that white colt into the ground” Vadik said as he stepped over the white alicorn who was holding his jaw and rolling on the groin in pain. “and seeing an Alicorn’s body is strengthened by magic” he said grabbing the scepter in the pony’s grip and yanked It free while the pony was in shock. “I read about it in a book” Vadik stated before back handing the pony with the scepter resulting in him falling off the remains of the throne and for his hood to fall off the reveal a young grey unicorn stallion.
“Okay I give, you win” the Stallion said with a slight smirk.
“That's not how this works” Vadik said dropping the scepter and approaching the stallion, who attempted to stand only do Vadik to punch him in the face, knocking him down.
“Please! I surrender!” The stallion showed as the Dark grey stallion created a black crystal wall between the two.
“Master, the plan has gone wrong, Summon the Nightmare and let's…” the Dark grey stallion was saying until Vadik grabbed his head and slammed it against the Crystal, Shattering the wall and knocking him out.
“Ah I see your plan now” Vadik said as he placed a boot on the stallion’s chest and held him down. “But you shall never Achieve it” Vadik said raising the sword above to plunge into the stallion when he was blasted in the side of the head causing him to cry out before he was grabbed and thrown across the room.
“Princess what are you doing?” a Voice asked as Vadik regained his senses and saw Celestia standing between Vadik and the Stallion with a golden Greatsword in hand.
“I can not, Shall not allow you to kill my pupil Vadik” She growled before glancing at the grey stallion on the ground. “ He can be saved from the darkness, and I won't let you kill him” Celestia exclaimed moments before a door was blown open and black smoke filled the room before fading to reveal a tall red cloaked creature with Sombra over one shoulder and Solaris over the other.
“Master we have to go” the Creature said in an echoed voice before swatting Celestia into Vadik.
“Yes, Thank you Nightmare” The stallion said as the four disappeared leaving Nightmare Moon and the blue Dragoness behind.
“What the fuck has gotten into you, you fool” Vadik said shoving the Alicorn off of him and glaring at her. “I could have ended all of your problems within two days of being here, but now they will be ready for me and this shit will go on for a long time” He growled as he snapped the sword in his hand like a twig in frustration.
“How am I a fool you brute” She hissed back at him.
“Because you are stupid enough to let the man who is the master of all your problems live and also for attacking me” He growled back at her.
“He is my student and I will not let you murder him or anypony else” She yelled back.
“Then why the fuck was I even hired if you didn't want them dead? You know what, don't fucking answer that I am done, if you refuse to kill him and risk your kingdom then that is your own problem” Vadik said as Discord appeared with Rainbow Dash, AppleJack, Fluttershy and Pinkie. “Discord can you teleport me to Ponyville?” He asked.
“Okay” Discord said clicking his fingers before the man turned into confetti and vanished. “Tia mind telling me why our friend was angry?” Discord asked as Celestia sighed.
“It isn't important, Girls it is time to banish Nightmare Moon again” She said as they looked to see where the Alicorn Was only to see she was gone. “Tartarus” Celestia growled.
