Chapter 8

“Siege on Canterlot part 1.”

Pine, Ash and Ember flew over the north eastern coast here they found the hordes of changeling gathering themselves in front of a portal then Pine came down with Ash and Ember they both raised their wings and with their fiery breathes combined started to ignite the changelings below. They screamed in terror some even started to fly to their boats. Others flew back across the sea.

        Then the queen a large but dark looking changeling with dark green eyes shouted, “We will not fall to you.”

        She then flew at the portal with her army of thousands following behind. Ash came down and crashed upon a whole regiment of them then as they all watched as Ember came down with Pine. As he lands, he raises his crossbow.

      He then said, “If any of you want to live I suggest fleeing.”

      They all stared to fly away then he said, “That was too easy.”

       Ember then said, “Look the portal!”

They turned to the portal, which was gone now, Pine swore,

       Ember then said “Well looks like were flying to Canterlot.”

        Ash landed next to the two then said, “Pine I guess it was coming here first though.”

       Pine nods then said, “It’s going to take us at least a day of non-stop flying to get to Canterlot.”

      Ash then said “What are we waiting for then?” Then the three take to the air and head south.

The shadow of the clouds that soon came over was like something the ponies of Canterlot have never seen before. The clouds rumbled and a storm was well underway. North Star was in the courtyard with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna helping them perfects their spells when he saw the ominous clouds.

       Princess Celestia then said, “It’s time.”

       North Star then said, “Necro wants to make a spectacle.”

      Princess Celestia then said “North Star go help Lance set up the guard Luna and I will fly up and ready ourselves.”

      North Star nods then he teleports to the front of the palace where Lance is herding the entire populace.

Lance then went to North Star and said, “Every civilian has been escorted within the palace and as we have expected Necro is coming.”

        Shade then came over with Core and Obsidian. Shade wore his white cloak and his array of knives and daggers within its folds. Core wore heavy armor and had his great axe ready. Obsidian wore light black plate armor and took out his double edge sword and Lance wore his light blue plated armor and had his lance at the ready. Hail was in his white light plated armor his grey coat reflecting the oncoming attack. Dark wind in his slick black coat and his black armor matching his coat and his brown eyes full of intensity.

         Core then said, “North Star we won’t allow a single changeling though these doors.”

        Shade then said, “Core is right North Star were with you until the end like we always have.”

       Obsidian came forward then said “North starI swear my sword to Canterlot’s defense and will fight until the very end.”

         North Star then said, “I thank all of you for supporting with me and helping me defend Canterlot. I also want you to know that for the last week before I found that blasted scale it has been the best week of my life. Talking with each of you spending time with you going to Lance’s wedding. All of that meant more to me than all the magic I can learn. I want all of you to promise me one thing. Don’t die.”

        They all saluted then North Star returned the salute.

       Lance then said “alright Hail, Dark wind let’s fly.”

       He then lifted his wings and carried himself in the sky. Then he came upon his regiment of fifteen pegasi all ready with their spears in their hooves with Princess Celestia and  Princess Luna in the front. Core, Shade, Obsidian, and North Star with the rest of the guard were in front of the palace. The moments ticked on as they waited watching the black cloud coming towards them.

        Lance then turned to his pegasi then said, “I created the wonder bolts as a contingency of the best fliers in Equestria for a reason. When it comes down to it, we are the first line of defense for Canterlot and that if we were ever attacked we can use our flying ability to outmaneuver and destroy our enemies. This is the day all your training will be put to the test.”

       Then out of the cloud poured hundreds of changelings.

       Then Lance shouted “Remember they can shape shift whatever you do don’t break formation stand together.”

       The Changelings then attacked with ferocity Lance sent a wave of electricity as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were caught by surprise as a great beast came down from the clouds and in a craze attacked them sending hundreds of spears that materialized out of thin air. Luna created a shield and the spears evaporated as they touched it. Princess Celestia flew into the sky and came down with a lightning bolts and the creature tried to pursue here but then Princess Luna attacked from behind as the two met together they both attacked him with an energy from their horns sending him down to the earth.

Lance was still keeping the main front of the changelings at bay. He had his pegasi use small but intensifying lightning strikes at the enemy keeping them from the castle.  On the ground North Star watched then he saw,

       Necro appear he teleported into Canterlot with a hundred or so changelings.

       He then said, “Kill them all.”

       Then they were all blasted away by an aurora of light then North Star  blasted three thorough the middle then he jumped and teleported behind Necro and blasted him sideways and then the green fire tried to catch onto North Star this time his white aurora  disintegrated the fire. As he teleported himself forward he then ran at Necro who was lying face down then the cloud came over Canterlot and then it began to rain. It was a black rain the water itself felt unnatural and weird. Then Necro got up and with North Star standing over him,

        Necro then said, “So I see you’re using Harmony’s power?”

      North Star stepped forward then said, “I see that you have the Alicorn amulet.”

      Necro chuckled and replied, “So you know its name but I doubt you know its true power.”

     North Star then said, “For most unicorns that alicorn amulet will possess the one who wields it. But for some reason it does not possess you which means only one thing.”

       Necro then said “your right for most this stone is corruption of harmony on a scale even I cannot fathom. However, my soul has agreed with the amulet’s power and we are perfectly bonded in fact I am feeding the stone my life energy to stay alive. It is why my body has decayed if this amulet were to be removed I would die instantaneously it is why it is so protective of me it acts on its own will to keep me it alive. I doubt the amulet has or ever will meet a pony as corrupted as I am.”

         North Star then got up and said “All this death all this power and for what?”

        Necro then said, “You stand there and talk as if you can understand.”

        Necro’s horn glowed then he said, “Your just a pawn to the Alicorns they use you without a care for your life knowing full well that when you die they’ll just replace you with another to take your place. “

        Then he tried to blast North Star with his green fire but North Star jumps then he saw the black rain light up and then he realized it was oil. North Star teleported out of the way then he turned to see Princess Celestia and Princess Luna fighting a deranged beast who was summoning dark energy blasts trying to kill them with pure ferocity.

Celestia jumps back as the beast attacked then as it roared he tried to blast her with a cloud of poisonous gas. He then flew into the air and rain down fire upon them. Luna tried to hold up a shield then North Star came in and with his horn fired off a ray of light blasting the fire away, soon the entire field was engulfed in flame. North Star landed next to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.

       He then said, “You two okay?”

        Princess Celestia got up her left eye was cut her body full of bruises. Luna was standing up breathing hard her body was covered in scars and scrapes.

       Princess Luna then said, “Yeah were fine.”

       North Star turned then said, “What the hell is that?”  

       Princess Celestia then said, “I don’t know, but it’s more powerful than we anticipated.”

      North star turns to see Necro then this green fire light up the ground but North star teleported the group into the sky then with his horn created  a solid ice platform and then Lance came over landed and then he took a breather. Then he saw the beast circling them then he tore at his face again as if he was fighting something.  North Star turned and saw Necro with the Alicorn amulet blazing.

      North Star then said “The amulet he’s controlling the beast with the amulet.”

     North Star then got up then said “Lance can you make it snow?”

     Lance then said, “I can try.”

     North Star then said, “Were going to need you to place it all along the courtyard.”

     He nods and flies into the air and circles the area with clouds as he solidified them then he pounded them and a rush of snow fell onto the ground then north star teleported back to fight Necro as Celestia and Luna flew up to fight the beast. Necro then tried to blast North Star with more flame. However, North Star then used a cloud of snow to block the attack then the teleported above and then he came down with an aurora blast hitting the green flame to block his attack then as he jumped back the snow then formed around him. Then he was lifted into the air and then North Star continued trying to crush him but the green flame was melting the snow faster than he can generate it then he blasted Necro into the wall near the palace and then Necro burst the ground into flame with Alicorn the amulet glowing.

       Lance was continuing blasting away the Changelings as they tried to break through his formation. His lighting cut through them and with the oil, rain tearing them apart. He turned to see the changeling queen.

       She then said, “Lance is it?”

      Lance twirled his spear then said “I’m guessing your their leader.”

       She then said “you fought well, your power is more than I expected.”

      Lance then said, “Why help Necro you know you’re being used.”

     She chuckled then said," You think we came to take over? Oh you’re so mistaken.”

     Her horn glowed then said “Come Lance show me what you can do?”

     Lance then summoned a rain of lightning on her but she dodged the attack and tried to blast him with an intense power her horn continued to fire and Lance kept dodging it she got up and spat on him. The mucus hardened but then Hail came in and with his lance and he cut through the mucus and grabbed Lance from the mucus shell before he hit the ground. Then Hail Flew upward with Lance

      Then Lance said, "Thank you Hail."

      Hail then said, "Don't mention it.”

      Then the two turn to the changeling queen .Then Lance flew upwards as high as he could. Then he came down with a shocking speed he flew straight into her then with a giant lightning bolt hit her she screamed and fell to the earth.

     Necro then said, “It seems Orthoptera is in trouble.”

     North Star then jumps back as Necro summoned a giant grave worm from the earth. Its skeletal body moved upward from the ground and rose to its full height. North Star blasted it with his horn then he jumped over the pieces and then lands above Necro. North Star began to hit him in different directions with different attacks using a blast of rocks, a wave of water, shards of ice, and then a jet fire. As Necro teleported to stay away and the green flame appeared to protect him.

       North Star then landed a blow by teleporting above him and slamming him with the power of Harmony as he shouted, “This is for my brother who you corrupted.”

     As Necro fell into the snow North Star then with his magic teleported behind him, then slammed his hoof into his face then said, “That’s for my parents.”

     He then teleported above and kicked him then said “That was for the crystal empire.”

     He then landed into the snow then north star blasted through Necro's green flame and rammed him forward with his horn piercing his body then North Star said “that was for the tower and every pony you killed.”

      He then teleported behind him and then said, “this is for master Silver Beard.”

     He then blasted him into the back and as he fell into the snow. North Star came over and as Necro got up.

      North Star then said, “You’ve seen nothing yet."

      His horn glowed then the ground beneath him churned with a dark aurora. Then the he sent a wave of power into Necro and he crashed into the city below.

      Shade Core, and Obsidian were attacked on the ground the forces were made up of unicorn and earth pony and they fought hard. They used a pony too pony formation using their bodies to prevent them from entering the palace. Shade then said slammed his dagger into one as Core slammed his axe into another and Obsidian cut one down.

      Then one of the guards said “Obsidian look out!”

      He dodged an attack from behind. The changeling changed into lance and one changed into Core and the other to shade he sighed then slammed his sword into the one looking like shade and the other two realized their plan wasn’t working no matter who they changed into the three stood together. Discord’s eyes stopped glowing and the oil rain stopped the ominous clouds faded.

      He then shook his head then said, “Master your powers no longer control me. Now I will destroy you two and claim Equestria as my own.”

     Then he tried to attack the two princesses with a ray of energy. However, Celestia and Luna nod and they fly the elements of harmony high into the air and in a single swift motion they shot a ray of pure light into Discord.

       As he fell his body soon started to petrify he then roared, “Is this it?”

      Then as the stone stared to case over him he then shouted, “I swear I will have my revenge.”

      Then he was completely petrified.

Lance then flew down to see the banged up Orthoptera.

        He laid his lance on her neck then said, “Call of the attack order your soldiers to flee now!”

      She then laughed then as she got up and said,"This was a ruse."

      Then an army came from through the town but the ponies that shambled in were corpses.

           She then said, “We were just the bait.”

        Lance got up then Orthoptera attacked using her blasts trying to take him down he dodged her attacks one by one. She roars then another pegasi flew in and slammed her spear into her side she screamed as she retreated then Lance saw Red wing she wore steel plated armor with a long spear.

      He then said, “Red wing what are you doing here?”

      She then said “You think I was just going to stand by while you fight no Lance were together now no matter what.”

     Lance then said, “Then stay behind me.”

     He turns to the changeling queen as she flew towards them with rage in her eyes.

      Lance then said, “Alright let’s do this.”

      Then the two attack together.

Necro then teleported onto the outer wall of Canterlot as his undead easily burrowed under and came through the ground he then turned to see North Star on the tower above him.

        He then said, “This was your plan?”

       Necro then said, “Now we will see what happens from here my undead army will devour every pony in this city and as each one falls another will be added to my number.”

       He then tried to blast North Star again then Celestia and Luna flew and tried to use their combined powers using the elements of harmony and blasted Necro but the green flame absorbed it.

     Then he said “Sorry that trick won’t work on me.”

       He then teleported down into the market square and then as North star Celestia and Luna surrounded him then North star teleported over.

    Then Necro said, “I have a proposal. I will pull off the attack if Celestia and Luna surrender themselves to me.”

    North Star’s eyes glowed then said, “If you want to battle me fine. But don’t you dare bargain for Princess Celestia or Princess Luna!”

     Necro then said, “You care that much about them?”

     Princess Celestia and Princess Luna stood firm

     Then North Star said, “Alright let’s end this.” Then the three attack.
