Chapter 4: The Black Stallion

Previous Chapter

Twilight’s travels for friends had lead her into a Dark forest that had almost been wtihout any sunlight. Traveling through the leaves that had fallen from years past were right underneath her hooves as she continued traveling. Out to the distance though Twilight heard Metal clashing on Metal. It was two swords clashing against each other. Eager to see the battle herself she kept galloping until finally the two stallion who were fighting had come into her view.

She sat there and looked bedazzled at the battle that was going on, a black armored Earth pony stallion, which she can see that his coat and mane matched his armor, was fighting an earth pony stallion with green armor, who under it she can tell he had a dark green coat while his helmet had made it impossible to tell what color his hair was. The two were fighting back and forth, the black stalion was using a sword he manuevered with his hooves gracefully, while the green earth pony was using a blade in it’s mouth that he swung with great force at the “black knight” that Twilight had officially dubbed the blacked stallion.

The fight had raged on for sometime now, it had looked like the green earth pony’s brute strength would prove too much, however a well placed low blow from the black unicorn almost sealed the green pony’s fate. As the green pony was writhing in pain the black unicorn tried to swing his sword down, but at that moment the green pony rolled away and grabbed for a flail which swung wildly at the obvious battled tested black stallion. The green pony then decided to pick up his blade and make one desperate charge at the black stallion. However this act would prove to be the demise of the poor green pony as the black stallion simply threw his blade right into the green ponies left eye skewering through it. The green pony was defeated and his consequences for losing was his life.

Twilight enjoyed the battle very much and then went up to congratulate the black knight and ask him to join her. “You fought so bravely Sir Knight”

The knight said nothing and just stood there with his sword pointed downwards vertically and his hooves on the hilt.

Twilight looked at the knight curiously and continued to ask “My name is Twilight Sparkle, I am Princess Celestia’s prized pupil and the voice of the princess herself. She has tasked me with making friends”

Again, the knight said nothing and just stood there.

Twilight blinked and continued “Brave knight you have proven yourself worth to me and I’d be ever so happy to have you in my friendship circle, what do you say?”

The Knight stood there

Twilight continued “You’d be a very valuable and strong ally to have, we could have great adventures, good times, and losts of laughs, Perhaps even have benifits” She said to the knight shaking her flank.

The Knight stood there.

Twilight’s ears flattened and she gave a sigh “I hate being rejected, but I know a lost cause when I see one” She said as she had begun to make her way past the knight when suddenly he blocked her path

The knight spoke for the first time “NONE SHALL PASS”

Twilight sparkled bewiledered respondd “Excuse me sir?”

The Knight spoke with more ferocity in his voice “NONE SHALL PASS”

Twilight Continued “I am sorry sir but I don’t want any trouble but I have to cross this forest to get to my destination

The knight said threateningly “Than YOU shall Die”

Twilight got angry and tried to use her power to move him “By the voice of Celestia I command you to move aside sir knight”

The knight didn’t hesitate with his next line “I move. For no pony”

Twilight looked down for a moment, and then at that instand all of her Telekinetic sword fighting training swifted back into her mind as her horn glowed enveloping the great-sword that was on her side placed carefully as well as the weight on the other side to balance her out. In one quick motion she detached the weight and drew out the sword simultaneously. It was this motion that told spike to run and hide and so he did getting off of her and running to a nearby tree to get out of the way “So be it sir knight, you will rue this day.” Twilight had remembered her training to put enough concentration to maneuver the sword gracefully, but not so much to render her completely still in combat

The knight responded drawing out his sword as well. The fight between Twilight and the Black Knight had begun. Twilight knew from her training that it is always unwise for the fragile unicorns such as herself to ever attack and waited for the black knights attack. He had responded exactly as she had expected him too and thrash the sword sideways at her and she dodged it gracefully. Parry and parry happened as twilight’s sword and the black knights connected towards each other twice, however during the last parry twilight had stood up on her hind legs while the black knight was down on his knee. Twilight took this opportunity and struck the top of the knights head with the butt end of her sword the sound of it echoing and the impact dazzling the black knight temporarily. Spike had to hold back a chuckle at this as he thought this was hilarious. Afterwards another parry, graceful dodge, and parry from Twilight and then she saw an opportunity and she took it. She swung her sword downwards at the black knight’s left foreleg and cut it clean off.

Twilight spoke towards her seemingly defeated adversary “Now please stand aside sir knight”

The black knight with a serious sound in his voice “Tis but a scratch”

Twilight looked bewildered at this and exclaimed “Wha...but...your foreleg came off!”

The Black Knight responded “Not it isn’t”

Twilight then pointed her sword at the detached arm “What is that then? A log?”

The Black Knight looked over and responded “I’ve had worse”

Twilight spoke angrily “Your a liar”

The Black Knight said again seemingly cocky “Come on ya pansy”

The black knight tried, but slowly swung his sword with his remaining foreleg. Twilight looked at the poor pathetic knight and easily parried every swing the knight had thrown at her. And then the knight took the sword in his mouth and charged straight at her. With the missing foreleg though the knight moved slowly and twilight easily dodged this and with her greatsword positioned, the knight had systematically chopped off his remaining foreleg. The Knight then fell down with the loss of his last fore leg.

Twilight “The battle is mine” Twilight said with a triumphant smile and then she looked up to the sun with a smile on her face as she spoke to it. “Oh Celestia, My teacher and ruler of Canterlot and Equestria I praise this victory in your name for it was your guidance that gave me the ski-”

WHAM

The Knight had kicked her in the head with his hind legs, however not in a bucking matter, luckily but rather in a front kick matter that was so much weaker but had still enough force to knock twilight on her side. Surprised she looked up at the fore legless pony as he spoke to her. “Come on then”

Twilight confused and bewildered only managed to get this much out “Whauhh?”

The Black knight continued to thwack at her, but the kicks seemingly weak towards twilight “Have at you”.

It was then that twilight was able to get up and look at the knight who was groggily standing on his two hind legs. “Listen” She said “I can see that you are a very brave person but this fight is mine already sire”


Black knight quickly replied to her remark “ooooh had enough you little pansy huh?”

Twilight grew in frustration and with malice in her voice she replied to him “Listen you moronic peabrain, your forelegs are gone”

the Black knight once again responded quickly “No they’re not”

Twilight bewildered again responded “LOOOK” She gestured to his non-existant forelegs.

The black Knight said with confidence in his voice “Just a flesh wound” afterwards he continued kicking her with his hind legs frontally and ineffectively.

Twilight spoke up against this “STOP THAT!”

Black knight continued to kick her and insult her as he did “Chicken Chicken Chicky Chicky Chicken!”

Twilight responded threateningly “I will take your leg sir”. Another kick answered her statement “VERY WELL THEN” She said and waited for another kick and clean swiped that leg off, the black knight falling to the ground. Now trying to hobble on the one leg he threatened her again “Right I’ll do you for that.”

Twilight Still confused, perhaps even more than she’s ever been in her life could only respond with this “YOU’LL WHAT???”

The black knight now managed to begin hopping on the one leg helplessly “COME HERE I”LL HAVE YOU”

Twilight responded now collecting herself after her shock of stupidity “What do you plan to do, drown me in your blood?”

The black knight said Menacingly “IM INVINCIBLE!!”

Twilight only shook her head and responded towards this “Your insane”

The Black Knight said with Triumph in his voice “THE BLACK KNIGHT ALWAYS TRIUMPHS” he sloppily threw his body at her not even inflicting any damage as twilight moved to the left. He then said “Have at you” As he began to hobble back up.

Twilight unamused and seemingly annoyed thus far simply just decided to hack off his last leg and he flew around when she did landing on his back with his head facing twilight.

The black knight STILL had cockiness in his voice as he responded towards her “Alright we’ll call it a draw”.

Twilight shook her head and called for spike and then with her telekinetic powers she resnapped the weight and her sword back to her sides in a simultaneous manner. Spike jumped back on her back and began banging the hollowed coconut halves against each other as twilight trotted off. Meanwhile from behind them the black knight was still throwing insults at them “Running away like cowards are ya. COME ON, COME ON YOU YELLOW COWARDS” Twilight payed no attention to the insults oblivious to the loony knight she had just encountered and continued on while he continued “I’ll bite your legs off you yellow cowards. HYAAAAA”
