Alexander Enters Equestria
Chapter 6: So what are you doing here?
Previous Chapter Next Chapter(First person perspectives are done as my OC Zachary. )
I sat down fast, landing hard on the ground as the others rushed over to check on the zebra Zecora. Looking up I glanced at a red unicorn with a fairly wild mane. Appearance wise he looked like a copy of Dynasty Warriors horse Red Hair, only with a large horn and bright brown eyes.
“So… now that that’s over, why don’t you explain to me WHAT exactly you are doing here hmm?” He asks as he glared at me. The bright brown eyes looking like they where trying to rip truth right out of me. Not that id planned to lie or anything. He was not going to like the truth after all… Alex had been used to and around me long enough to know I always had some random gag or trick up my sleeve.
“Honestly? I have no idea. I fell asleep in my bed after typing and playing Castlevania games on my computer... Then I woke up here in the forest.” At first he had the same disbelieving look, until he noted my admission of playing videogames… That fact alone seemed to give me some credibility. “I at first thought I was dreaming up ideas for the story… But most of my dreams don’t have me exploring a forest for hours.” I look around at Twilight Sparkle and all of her pals as they talk to the confused waking zebra. “Tell me... am I really here?”
“Eeyup.” he says nodding as some of the group glares at me. “So, judging from that fight with Zecora, I’m guessing you already figured some stuff out eh?” Alex looks over as I nod. “Care to share your vast knowledge with us?”
“Yeah… the obvious is that Dark Energy has taken over the forest. In my exploration I ran across many Manticores and some weird, snake, chicken type monsters. As I fought them, my swords passed through, only affecting and cutting out negative energy. Judging from how confused they all looked after I freed them, I’d say it’s as if they are asleep. They have no memory of doing anything since they last awoke… I know Zecora from the TV show of this world… and she wasn’t acting right at all. Nor where the manticores, which were slow and only used claws instead of their fangs and scorpion tail.” I reply nodding. “Whatever is controlling them doesn’t seem to really know what it’s doing… Before you ask, ill point out that Nightmare Moon used Princess Luna’s magical power. If something was smart enough to know an Alicorn’s magic I would think they would know to use a poisonous tail or Stone Gaze.”
“Keep in mind Zach... that Luna had been on that moon a thousand years. The Dark energy might be a learning energy or an intelligent force. It might not know how to control things correctly yet. Twilight also mentioned that she thought the energy destroyed by the Elements of Harmony. This gives us two possibilities… 1. Is that the energy is still weak from the attack, and the other is..”
“That it’s not the same force… but a new one. Maybe caused by that Discord dragon thing.” I reply getting a surprised look.”
“I was thinking it might be DARK FORCE.” Alex replies blinking. “The evil controlling energy made by and controlled by the PROFOUND DARKNESS I fought many years ago. Remember how I finished it off?”
I think back and nod. “Yeah, same way as when you beat the Belmont. Tossed into another… dimension… that you...”
“Later wound up on… I hate to say it but its possible its OUR fault Nightmare Moon was made... what if all those years ago, THIS was the dimension DARK FORCE ended up on?” Alex asks in thought. “That would explain why it would come to ARK BASE. Dark force brought it over.
“Would also explain why the Elements of Harmony did so well… Special magic like the Elyseon sword and the Clahim Solais you used before.” I say in thought. “It’s a very logical possibility Alex… but lets see what other info we can find. Uh.. by the way… what are you doing here anyway?”
Alex nods. “We had planned to come over later on. Taking some time to plan when we saw a bright light hit the Everfree Forest when we arrived. Twilight and Fluttershy wanted to make sure Zecora was alright. You know the rest.”
“Knowing my ability for Flashy entrances in other worlds that light was probably me… how many hours ago was that?” I ask curiously as I was sudden aware of the ponies all listening in to our talk.
“A few, we had to run around town to finish the ponies work and chores before we could head here. I’d say about 4 maybe 5 hours estimated.” Twilight comments as Alex nods. “Was all that true? About Dark Force anyway?”
“It’s possible unfortunately. Alex you know it best so why don’t you describe Dark Force for them.” I suggest, leaning against a tree to rest my legs and limbs.
“Dark Force… Where to begin… “Alexander closes his eyes as he thinks. “Its a long story so lets get back some place comfortable.”
Dark Force, a negative energy created on the creation of life itself. A literal Manifestation of Negative Emotion. Existing only for destruction, its goal, being the ending of everything. Covering every part of the world, in Darkness, and Death. Normally this energy manifests and exists in all living beings. However in one place the energy actually became its own being. Its name was the Profound Darkness. An eternal darkness that constantly rose to attempt over and over to destroy the light. Never ending battle, death, and chaos that haunted the System. However, as powerful as the darkness was.. the forces of light where equal and focused, constantly using its defenders to bring peace to the world and push back the Dark Force. I myself ran across and confronted the Dark Force and After Years of constant battle, suffering, pain, and the loss of many of my closest friends, finally destroyed it for what I thought was good. Casting it’s presumed powerless remains into a portal to Suffer in the far reaches of Space. I thought it was over… it seems.. I was wrong..
Alexander closes his eyes.. Memories of the brutal battles haunting his memories and dreams even to this day still... “If… Zach is right… then all those years ago… Dark Force landed here… and began to grow again in power and strength. Eventually, magnifying the negative emotions, of your Princess Luna. As it grows strength.. it gains wisdom and information.”
“But... Princess Luna became Nightmare moon over a thousand years ago.. how can it be this Dark Force?” Twilight asks with wide eyes.
“Simple. At the speed of its approach... and the difference in hours and Days for our worlds. Time is relative, after all. 1000 years in one land is 50 or 2000 in another.” I pointed out. “Besides... Alex is far older than he seems…”
“That’s not important at all right now Zach. My age has no place in this. What we need to focus on is seeing if this negative energy really IS Dark Force or not…” Alex says trailing off in thought.
“Actually I disagree completely. Knowing your thousands of years old may help them understand WHY and how your so powerful now.. as well as how your as wise and foolish as you are.”
[And now to take a break from writing till some people comment. I have done a lot of typing and my fingers and brain kinda hurt ^^. I dunno how many of you guys will get the DARK FORCE references... but everything talked about has happened before in Rp. I really did role play out the Alex vs profound Darkness bit. So yes.. I just crossovered Phantasy Star with my little pony. didn't see that coming did ya? Or maybe the Flowen-sword gave you a clue? ^_^ This chapter I actually typed out in Microsoft word, since it actually worked for once. Not this little bit here.. yeah This is all spur of the moment Babble XD. Anyway, now that I got everything ready possibly defined the main evil. I can relax and let myself think. Enjoy the chapter.. it took a lot of work and thought.]
