Chapter 51: Struggle

The fire was consuming the air, its heat was burning everything in the near. The trees and the wooden walls were lit in a bright and horrifying fire. The heat was making the soldiers, that Shining Armor commanded, already sweat in their armors. Fire and Pegasus’s don’t go together, as the feathers on their wings are an easy target for the fire. However, these were crystal ponies, crystal ponies are way more resistant to heat, frost, electricity and other dangerous elements than normal Equestrian ponies.

Sauron, he simply with his hand swept the fires away from his way, by moving his hand gently to the side he became the new lord of the raging fire caused by the dragons. He looked up, and with lighting speed he could change his gaze from one dragon to another changing his target with unreal speeds. He took the fire, by concentrating it in sphere of fire. His hand lighted up in orange and looked ethereal in some degree, while his orange magic poured down. It circled around his arm all the way to his elbow while his orange eyes gave a tiny spark.

Sauron held his hand forwards as if he was trying to summon a weapon by using telekinesis. Fire from behind him and from the front, from all direction. Flew and passed beside him and formed the before mentioned sphere. In cyclones or simple rays it accumulated into a decently sized fireball that was powered up by his own magic, by pure energy he channeled into the fireball making it more powerful, he didn’t want to use other elements for now, as he has fire at his disposal.

Using fire around, is way different the using his own energy manipulating skills to create fire. It requires more concentration, he needs to take down at least two dragons to later finish them on the ground. When the fireball, that was shrunk by Sauron’s wills weight formed, a powerful wave of wind followed from where Sauron stood vanishing any smaller fires around him in great degree. The soldiers who took their bows and swords, almost fell from the wind.

It gave him great attention, as the dragons prepared for another attack, the unicorns were ordered to be scattered around the camp and when the dragons come cast shields to defend from the fire and potential physical contact. Sauron simply released the sphere from his telekinetic grip, the fireball shoot forwards and seemed to go diagonal.

The Maia’s hand stopped giving its orange glow, the fireball moved so fast it was barely visible when it shoot forwards. It left a big cloud of dust and Sauron was hidden in it. It looked like the fireball moved at speeds a normal eye can’t detect, but there was a small weird orange, maybe yellow, hard to tell orb that turned oval and it was seemed to be right before the dragons already!

A small light appeared in the sky, and the wind was hit by the sheer force the energetic attack had in itself. An explosion appeared, a great explosion equal to the size of a medium sized factory, or a very big mansion could be seen. The explosion seemed to be so close yet the wind and the sound was very weak. The shockwave eventually met with the ground and send small pieces of the ground flying forwards towards them and Sauron.

The soldiers thought it is a potential danger, so they ran to the unicorns who cast weak shields meant for such circumstances. The Soldiers, who were here for some time now, were not as scared of what was happening, and their morale was way higher than that of the recruits who arrived. The Soldiers morale were brief, and very weak.

Prince Shining Armor knew that, he hoped that Sauron might be a additional factor that might boost the morale. It seems he might be, his power is amazing. A non-pony you don’t want to recon with. Shining cast a shielded himself, shielding twenty ponies from the wind. He cast the spell down as soon as the wind and the earth pieces flew by.

Shining still looked for his dear friend New Order, he didn’t see him yet, and he fears he might have sadly… died in the fire. If that’s the case he will avenge him! The pure thought of New Order dead, together with the teachers was horrifying, although knowing New Order, he probably teleported and the quick teleport mixed with shock teleported him somewhere where he didn’t want to teleport!

The Dragons, that were hit by the attack, many of them escaped the fires claws and heat that had the right to hurt them as it was powered up additionally by magic and energy Sauron mixed in. Three dragons however, fell down from the cloud of smoke that was now becoming one with the clouds. Some fire still raged inside of the smoke and would later heat up the rain.

Three simply lost their conscious, they were falling on the barracks. Shining Armored ordered one thirds of the army in the camp to retreat to the city. The best possible way would be to go thru the woods and choose the passages he and many other didn’t use for quite some time. They needed more space, it was too tight in the camp for such an battle.

Shining ordered the pegasi to fly with the dragons and make them come closer the ground, maybe even damage their wings so that regular soldiers may fight them on the ground. Pegasus formed squads of ten and fifteen while regular soldiers were like a swarm of ants constantly moving in random direction.

The Unicorns shoot simple and short rays of pure magic, no longer then twenty or more centimeters. Different colors and different sizes. These bolts were supposed to scare the dragons and give them a sign, that they are organized and are ready to kill. The stress among the soldiers of course didn’t help in the aim.

A few Pegasi were hit by friendly fire and lost their balance, they begin to fell down. A few Pegasus were strong enough to fly somehow with one wing, and only a small portion stopped to help the wounded, who themselves risked getting hit and die from the fall. Prince Shining Armor yelled to concentrate, as he himself was horrified by the damage done by friendly fire.

Sauron just looked at the soldiers who were retreating back to the city and at the remaining force. He would send of half, not one thirds of the army back to the city. They need more space, and he doubts the dragons will come close to the ground, they seem to be young, therefore they lack experience and faith in their strength.

Sauron turned back, the dragons were preparing to execute another napalm, while the pegasi tried to get at least a few of the down on the ground. The horses should have aimed at the visible blood vessel in the dragon's wings, it’s the softest spot when it comes to that place. The Dragons of this world however don’t have a slimy belly like the ones in Middle Earth.

The Unicorns stopped their firing and the normal foot soldiers begin to make lassos to catch the dragons. The lassos were very long and the end of each lasso was pinned down with a large screw that in the ground. Where did they get them? Tents won’t be needed in a long time, and some unicorns knew spells capable of making certain objects way bigger.

The Dragons charged at their positions, the pegasus’s tried hard to make a few dragons fall, but it was hopeless. The Dragons opened their mouths, at the same time behind of Sauron a loud thumping sound of something hitting wood could be heard. These were the dragons shoot earlier by him that feel right now and impacted with the barracks.

The Pegasi concentrated their force on two dragons instead of all of them. A blond Pegasus with creamy coat and emerald green yes managed to stab one of the dragons in the wing, it seemed that it hurt the dragon horribly. The dragon's wing folded from the pain, and the dragon let out a powerful scream of pain, the dragons behind ignored him and continued with a gaze full of their hellish ire.

Sauron was resistant to almost everything, lighting, chaotic weird magic Discord uses, water and insane heat. He is incredibly resistant to anything that might hurt him. He decided to take on the fire the dragons were about to breath on him without sweating or even getting a scratch. His palms gave a blue light mixed with some orange energ, his hands colored the very air around him. It wasn’t smoke, it was in fact air that took a light blue color.

He was ready to respond with some, unhealthy amount of pain and magic. One of the dragons, fell down and rolled on the earth leaving a track in the ground. The pegasi left him and flew to another target. The Dragoons tried to hit them with the wind their wings made, or their tails but the pegasi were good fliers even for their amateur rank in the military.

Of course there were casualties, a Pegasus was indeed hit by a Dragons tail, the impact was horrifying, the Pegasus hit the earth, he broke his spine, his front legs and suffered from internal bleeding. No magic known to normal ponies may fix the damage.

The Dragons let out their fires, and the fire spread itself fast just like the legs of a prostitute, it was an amazing sight of dragon cooperation and force. But a deadly one aimed at no other than them. The fire swallowed Sauron who stood in the fire and didn’t feel any pain, but uncomfortable heat he wanted to go away. As the Dragons flew by the Dark Lord released his magical attack.

The fire died instantly, the attack splattered the fire left and right while a blue glow was all that could be seen coming from both Sauron’s hands. The dragons were pushed by some sort of invisible force, one dragon hit the other and they fell on the ground. However that was not all, the Dragons that fell, on both sides. Have been covered in strange mist that looked as if made out of light.

The dragons cried, put their hands on their heads and screamed in pure agony from pain the magic was causing to them. They saw visions, of their known dead, with heads ripped off and the eyes used as a decoration to some sort of a cave to look like flowers. Sauron managed to drag one bigger dragon down while the rest were younglings, together four dragons were hit by his attack.

The ones who were still harassed by the pegasi, flied up into the air to see what happened, led by the bigger dragons. Sauron stopped his magical offense and changed his tactic. While Shining Armor and his soldiers tied the dragons to the ground that fell on the barracks and held them captive. The Prince ordered them to go, if necessary, kill the dragon taken down by Sauron.

Shining Armor commanded the Unicorns, who to not much of a surprise, were the elite, they could if wanted fly thru levitation, and fight in close combat. In most cases however they were used as simple mages who used magic in order to support regular pegasi and earth ponies. Restraining the Dragons was hard and required harsh force to put their zealous warrior spirit down.

Sauron however approached the dragons, he stood before them and forcefully with his hand he put them down. No, he didn’t kill them, he simply made them paralyzed by his force and his dark nature, that messed with their minds, they lay on the ground, shaking and having weird spasm with their body parts moving, jiggling as if they had the worst legs cramps in the known world. Their wills were strong, but nothing he wouldn’t be able to handle.

He let go, while doing so it seemed the sound around him disappeared when he decided to permanently freeze the dragons with is magic. He saw the approaching soldiers coming with their lines, and equipment meant to imprison the dragon. He simply looked at a spear on the back of one of the soldiers.

The Spear flew towards him, it landed perfectly in his hand. The soldier was confused why did he do so, together with the company send to take care of the dragons. The lines were fireproofed and just in case, one unicorn was assigned with them, to cast a shield that would protect the lines made from industrial hemp.

Sauron placed his leg on the snout of one of the dragons, his hand in which he held the spear flared dark green, and weird energy encircled the spear while the surroundings darkened. Sauron with both of his hands, showed the spear right into one of the dragons eyes. He looked at the dragon before stabbing him, the dragon was horrified, he saw the tear in the eye, he saw the look hoping for mercy yet mercy is just weakness.

He saw himself, in the eye of the dragon holding the spear. Sauron felt that there was, something partially blocking him from doing what he wanted to do, but he overcame this strange feeling. He simply passed over it, ignored it. He knew Killing the dragon is the only way to show might, and force he possesses.

The soldiers who just came witnessed as the dragon let out a humming sound of pain, like a puppy crying. Sauron had his emotionless expression all the time. The blood from the eye burst onto Sauron white snow clothing, making it red. His vesture all the way from his legs to his left shoulder was marked in blood while the dragon tried to break out of Sauron’s weird invisible grip. The other dragons that saw this also tried to do so but failed miserably.

He twisted the spear and it went down deeper in the dragons skulls. The green energy moved inside of the dragon while his other eye changed color to the emerald green slowly and painfully. The dragons nostril were filled with blood, as it poured down on the bare ground. The dark magic begin to kill the cells and the brain tissues making it rotten and swollen. Soon the dragon died as his brain rotted away and maggots appeared from under him, making themselves up his scales to the wound Sauron made.

Sauron’s dark magic, forced the maggots to crawls from the ground all the way to the dragon. It was a call made by the magic, not by Sauron. The blood was slowly beginning to die as Sauron’s dark sorcery fastened the process of the blood becoming stale.

“This, is what you are supposed to do. Not spare them!”

His voice was carried by the wind, and the force of his scream made the nearby ground shook slightly. The next thing Sauron did, was go away and approached another dragon with his spear in his hand. The dragons above that hovered and fought with the pegasi were in rage for the death of one of their friend. They breathed fire and ripped Pegasus apart. The ones who deserted were either tore apart or beaten and thrown down to hit the ground.

The soldiers however didn’t know if they should stop Sauron from his actions or not, they were scared of him as they heard about his feats, they literally saw his power a few moments ago that put three dragons down by a powerful attack. The soldiers didn’t however stand I one place, they continued doing what they were supposed to do, they used their lines and big screws in order to keep the dragons in the ground.

The soldiers tied the snouts of the dragon first, while Sauron approached a different Dragon, he looked at him, and the dragon back with fear. Sauron placed his hand on the dragons forehead. The soldiers continued doing what they were doing while Sauron seemed to…Prepare to kill another dragon, this time using different ways.

From Sauron’s right hand, on which his ring was. A orange glow could be seen, strange like energy seemed to do something with the dragon whose eyes were dark pink. They received a orange tint, while Sauron palm was burning itself in the dragon's scales leaving a visible mark, on the Dragons forehead.

Steam escaped the dragon's nostrils, that strangely, had a orange color to it, Sauron’s own very eyes were glowing orange. Shining Armor watched from the ground as bodies of Pegasi were flying down, massacred, with their limbs gone, their head smashed, their hearts and internal organs flying out and hitting the ground, in a squishy splash of blood.

Shining’s Unicorns felt sick and disgusted many looked away and breathed heavily even Shining who was prepared for such images to never leave his mind again. Shining Heard a loud roar of the dragons and they flew towards them, shooting balls of fire in green, in yellow, pink, red and normal orange like fire is supposed to look like.

The Unicorns fired their beams and destroyed the incoming fireballs with ease, while regular archers shoot their arrows at the incoming dragons. The arrows did little and only angered them, the archers didn’t stop and aimed at their eyes, noses and mouths as they breathed, to hurt them any way possible. Wings were also the target of some archers.

Two bigger Dragons flew towards the small company that took care of the dragons Sauron took down while the rest charged at them, archers moved back to the Unicorns who cast their shields before the fireballs the Dragons spitted out. The fireballs were powerful enough, to break the shields of a few unicorns, Shining Armor watched as one shield broke, and the fireball exploded, cooking alive the unicorns and the archers that were protected. Casualties were quite heavy. The fire didn’t die down and the Dragons used their claws to damage the shields who cracked, more unicorns joined and channeled their magic to the shields.

Shining Armor was a specialist when it came to force fields and other magical boundaries like those. He managed to hold out however the fire raged around, creating smoke that blurred the vision around. While the dragons landed, and in a fury used their fists to break the shields of other unicorns. There were too many ponies, and some unicorns attacked from the behind the dragons who encircled the prince and other soldiers.

The soldiers took their bipedal positions with their swords up and ready to fight with the dragons. A yellow scaled dragon with gray eyes and spiky horns, came from behind the fire and smoke slamming himself into Shining’s shield. The Prince had to use more magic to fight against the dragons fists and strength. As hit after hit the dragon attacked the shield slowly begin breaking.

It almost seemed hopeless for Shining to continue his defense, but from behind the dragon he could see ponies using their lassos and pulling the dragon away. Shining Armor dropped the shield and breathed heavily, the fire burned brightly while around roars, cries and yells of anger, agony and victory could be heard.

The Prince let out a roar and ponies around who heard the roar charged forwards, some threw their spears, some attacked with their swords. While the remaining pegasus’s who managed to flee tried to blind the dragons with the swords they had. Unicorns shoot their beams, in masses at the dragons burning their scales and making them bleed, while other focused on putting out the fire.

The dragons pulled the lassos and columns of earth ponies flew forwards into the air, to later be smashed brutally with horrifying speeds into the ground. Ponies flew into other ponies, taking them down with themselves, some already died, some had their hoofs broken. The dragons freed their brethren the ponies captured by cutting the ropes. The dragons stood up and roared so loud, the ponies ad to cover their ears.

The dragons attacked from behind breathing fire, the ponies screamed in agony while unicorns casted their shields, to fast enough to defend all of the ponies from the fire. Shining Armor watched horrified by the gore and death, the burning flesh of the ponies, the boiling blood that was on the ground in small ponds from the casualties.

He pointed his horn at one of the dragons, and started to fire a lightning bolt. His horn gave a flick of his magic, and Shining Armor released the offensive spell. The Lighting could be heard by Everypony and dragon. It hit one of the dragons in the back, making him fall on his knees and scream while ponies near him watched up for the sparks.

The dragon breathed heavily, while covering his body with his wings, the dragons got into a furry, unicorns saw this as an sign of using heavy spells, and dangerous ones. Soon small fireballs, and regular but more powerful bolts of savage and pure magic were shot by the unicorns, while other unicorn mages simply fired small yet in great numbers rays of magic.

The Dragons rage was something he didn’t ever see. The dragons became, savage, the dragons were breathing fire and dashing forwards killing and harming as much ponies as possible with their attacks. The Unicorns tried to create a magical prison made from one big shield yet the dragons were powerful enough to break it. Shining Armor fired a long and thick ray of magic pushing one of the savage dragons back.

Regular earth ponies aimed at his legs to stab him and make him fall, they tried to damage his ankles and knees. While avoiding the dragon's tail and big foots. Not every earth pony was lucky to get away from the dragons. The dragon Shining attacked, breathe fire around himself while making a whirling movement. Soon the dragon created a layer of pure fire that protected him from the ponies near him who had to escape because of the heat.

The Unicorns however focused their magic together and started to form a small tornado, they used their telekinesis to move the air around and also heat it up. Seven unicorns were working on it. They send the tornado to the dragon, and the fire was sucked into the tornado raveling the Dragon, while pushing him back and making him fall on his back. Shining Armor saw this and galloped forwards.

He galloped fast, before the Dragon could stand up again, however there was a problem. His dragon friends appeared and slammed their fists into the ground sending a shockwave that pushed the ponies away, while the others breathed fire. The ponies staggered, Shining Armor cast an oval shield only around himself and the fire didn’t touch him, this couldn’t be said by the ponies that fell down because of the earlier dragon attack.

The prince ducked under the legs of one of the dragons, going under him, the prince rolled to the side and jumped landing directly on the fallen dragons chest, Shining didn’t waste his time. His horn gave a white light, and he touched the forehead of the dragon with his horn, Shining shoot a powerful bolt of magic, that went thru the dragons head all the way meeting the ground that resolves in an small explosion.

The explosion send dirt around the dead corpse of the dragon, Shining Armor was pushed off the corps by the dirt that hit him, he grunted under the weight of the ground and stood up. However his front left hoof hurt him, he could walk and the pain wasn’t bad, yet still it was making him less efficient in the battle.

He could hear, while in the dusty cloud, the cheers of ponies, the dust settled down and he saw before him the dead corpses of the ponies that just burned alive, unicorns and earth ponies that dominated the field. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he looked at the corpses, he didn’t believe it, that he literally saw death, because of a conflict. A conflict, that just started, a potential war with the dragons!

The ground was mixed together with the blood, the hot blood boiling that was still dripping from the bodies he saw before him. Small rocks have formed because of the dirt and blood getting mixed, crimson in color. Shining Armor used the body of the killed dragon as something he could support himself with.

The dragons he passed, looked at him with widened eyes, full of hatred, they opened their mouths and prepared to breathe fire on him. Other Dragons around continued their slaughter of his soldiers that started to deal significant damage and made the Dragons bleed from their wings, wrists, ankles, chests.

Shining Horn lit up, while casting a shield on himself, he could see with his right eye that newbies begin to run towards hi in order to defend him. The dragons fire was coming dangerously close, Shining Armor casted his shield and closed his eyes in hope for the best. He could hear the fires impact and he could feel the force e had to fight with, but it wasn’t for long.

He heard some sort of a thump and a small yell, Shining awaited for the fire to die out and to dispel his shield. He used additional magic to make the shield put out the fire around and he cast the shield down who splattered the fire. He saw before himself something bizarre, he saw one of the dragons, tackling with a dragon. They fought on the ground beating themselves, kicking and slamming their heads, even biting!

The dragons struggled for Dominance, for unknown reason a dragon that attacked them was now on their side. While Shining was Looking in disbelief he could feel a powerful presence, that was dark and very angry, warm and unpredictable. He looked into the direction the strange aura was coming from, he saw no other than Sauron, coming towards them while the ground around seemed to be heated dangerously while he was lacing his steps.

Sauron had his hand burning with orange magic, he simply made movement extending it, and pointing at one of the dragons in the fields. The next he knew, something like an bolt of weird energy, somewhat electrical hit the dragon in his shoulder,, piercing the scales and hitting the muscles, making the dragon fall on one of his knees and screaming in pain.

Sauron was hurt, not too much, he was hurt, he had a small scar going down from his right eye all the way down to his chin and he bleed severally from it. Not to mention his blond hair appeared to be burned and were black. His clothing also was covered in dirt and ash making it dirty, making him look like a escapist from a burning building.

The earth ponies used the moment given by Sauron to furtherly attack the dragon, the unicorns with magic, the earth ponies with what they had, be it lassos, arrows and spears or swords. They did what they could. The Dark Lord was furious, and he didn’t hide it, he extended his hand forwards and then upwards, while one of the dragons was levitated up.

He cleansed his hand into a fist and the dragons bones could be heard breaking inside of his body, while the very heart and his veins were slowly being squished inside of his body by Sauron’s pure will. Sauron then moved his fist down, and the dragon hit the ground, getting slammed into the earth, while grunting and desperately trying to breath.

The dark Lord formed a disc of dark orange energy in both of his hands, and threw it like a Frisbee. The Disc flew right into one of the dragons, there was no explosions, only energy escaping into the world in small particles, like drops of water. The Dragon hit by the attack, started to bleed, the injury was deep and the disc hit the dragon right next to the dragon's neck. The dragon covered the injury with his hands, trying to stop the blood fountain.

From twenty five dragons, fifteen or fourteen are still remaining alive. The Dark Lord stood before the ponies and the dragons who watched him carefully and prepared for an attack while ponies still fought with the dragons, while giving him stares. The Dark Lord noticed the Prince, who has been standing injured before three the Dragons. He was far away, but Shining could swear, on his beloved wife, he felt as if Sauron was in front of him.

“You, lizards...” He started.

The Dragons grunted and threw the ponies around themselves away, the ponies themselves stopped their fighting. Sauron just looked at the dragons, who were to his surprise injured in some degree, he was surprised. The Dragon that switched sides, was the only one who still as doing something, either breathing heavily or moving around ready to attack like a lion.

“Are the most, irresponsible, and weakest dragons. I have ever meet.” Sauron announced.

While doing so, the Dragons got into a fury, they didn’t even speak to themselves or to the ponies in order to taunt them for the entire time. Sauron’s right hand, on which was his ring, shone brightly orange, light seemed to be accumulating into his hand, he put his left hand, on the back of his palm. Strange light, orange and also dark hurt the Dragons eyes and blinded them making them go backwards. While hissing like venomous snakes.

The light, the thing Sauron was doing wasn’t affecting the ponies in any way. It was just blinding, however it wasn’t’ the worst possible thing they could expect. Sauron slammed his hands into the ground, the ground shook and cracks begin to appear. The earth began to shake as Sauron just created a small earthquake. The ponies avoided craters that formed under their legs.

Shining Armor moved away, from the dead corpse of the dragon he killed. The earth was pushed down or up, hard to tell really, what was known to them is that rocks, massive rocks were shoot into the air and the ground under them shook greatly. The whole camp, with the wooden walls and barracks begin to collapse, the trees fell down, the earthquake was very powerful and Sauron used much of his power in order to Cause it. The dragons fell down, some stepped into the cracks and were trapped!

They wanted to fly away, but before they cold, the ground under them collapsed and they feel, ponies tripped on themselves and other massive rocks, Unicorns tried to destroy as many of the boulders as possible from hitting themselves and their pony brothers, while the Dragons were constantly being buried. The earthquake was dying out and the ground, was stopping to shake, the dragon were either on their backs or somehow trapped in the ground with their legs or perhaps hands in the earth, while the rest of their body buried underground.

Many ponies were hit by the ground, the earthquake ruined the whole camp and destroyed all the barracks in the camp. Sauron stood in the field, while the whole camp looked like a field that was freshly loosen. The walls made from wood fell, revealing to Sauron that his earthquake did more than he expected, as trees together with their roots have fallen. How deep into the forest his attack reached? He doesn’t exactly know, but one thing is for sure, he succeeded in trapping the dragons.
