Huntik: Titans Of Equestria
Chapter 11: Chapter 11 rise of Discord
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt has been an entire two weeks since I attack the fortress and I looked through all the information this black pony was not the leader of the Nemesis order not even close he was only a recruiter and I also found out that several of the nobles and guards work for them though it never said any names and I am still debating whether to let Celesta and Luna help me or not and I had to answer them soon or next time I meet them in my disguise they might attack me.
And also me and Applejack had a few days off so we went on a few dates and we were growing closer.
“This is boring.” I said as I finished a few papers that needed my attention there we not many but they were annoying and some of them complicated I haven't even had time to look through the bag of titans the clones gave me and maybe now I have a little time to look through them.
I put all the papers in a drawer in my desk and I opened another one and grabbed the bag and opened it up it only had three titans inside one of them I knew the others I would need to scan but I had to be very careful they said they were fire titans and Cavalier was hard enough to bond with.
The one I knew was Albion[amulet] he was the most loyal among all the titans and he was very skilled in combat in close and long range.
Now for the other two I summoned the Cypherdex and left them bag over it and turned it upside down left the amulets fall out onto it and it was caught in the scanner and floated in the air.
“Volcana[amulet] attack 7 defense 6 type yama-titans sorceress size average special ability flame control.” It said then it moved onto the next.
“Balenpyre[amulet] attack 4 defense 3 type Litho-titan scout seize colossal special ability magnetic fluid.” It said finished scanning and this was going to be very painful first i bonded with Albion then I took a deep breath and grabbed both of the titans and my body feels like it was submerged in magma and I felt out of my chair and a fiery aura engulfed my body and rage washed over me I could feel my body twist and contort and then my body felt numb and my vision started to fade and everything was red but then a blue light started to over take the red that surrounded my body.
The aura around my body began to fade as the light suppressed it and disappeared and my vision was returning but my body still felt like it was burned to a crisp and I closed my eyes and just slipped into unconsciousness.
[unknown amount of time has passed]
I suddenly sat up and was breathing heavily and I remembered what happened.
I opened my hands and saw the two amulets and I pocketed them and got up it was dark outside and it was a little too late for me to sleep right now I had too much on my mind and I think I made a decision on the let the princesses help I would let them but there would be conditions.
I summoned Shifter and I put him on and I used slipstream to get to the castle right out of the throne room. ‘Ok then I should make this dramatic so let’s see what I can do.’ I thought to myself as I peeked inside Luna was sitting on the throne and at her side her two bat ponies and she might likely want to talk to the leader of the order of the golden cross so what should I do.
[Luna’s POV]
‘Boring so boring’ I thought as I waited for someone to come through that door Grand Facade said he would talk to the leader of the golden cross and me and my sister have been waiting for weeks.
“Princess you feel that?” One of my guards asked and suddenly I could feel a large presence just outside the door and suddenly from the beam near the roof connecting the pillars two golden armored warriors descended.
“Princess run we will fight them.” My guards said as they drew their swords and so did the warriors.
“Stop.” I ordered and they hesitated before lowering their swords and the golden warriors stabbed their swords into the stone floor before resting their hands on the hilt they said nothing as the presence grew and the door began to open two more golden warriors were opening the door and in between them looked to be their leader and heavy footsteps were heard as he stepped inside.
The two golden warriors stayed just behind them after he entered and stopped just in front of the throne.
“Grand facade told me you wanted to meet me.” The leader said and his voice carried power and authority as the two other warriors were now like the two that were already here.
“Are you the leader of the golden cross?” I asked and he nodded.
“You want to help us fight the Nemesis order when you don't even know you already have spies among you.” He said and I could feel my eyes widened.
“Where did you get this information?” I asked him and he pulled out a few pieces of paper form his armor.
“The information Grand facade brought me.” He said and stuffed it back in his armor. “While you still have spies among you we can not tell you much so I suggest if you want more information you must purge the spies among you but we did not get any names it only said nobles and a few of the guards.” He explained and I could feel my sister awaken and hse was heading this way she could likely feel this one's presence in the castle.
“If it wasn't for your newest knight we wouldn't have found that fortress.” He said and my sister rushed in and she was ready to fight the warriors drew their swords from the ground.
“Sister wait he is the one we were waiting for.” I said and filled her in on what he said so far.
“How did he lead you to the fortress?” Celestia asked.
“When he showed up with his titans he caused quite a sture we didn't know if he was with them or not so we kept tabs on him and when he flew over the everfree we followed him and we found the fortress as we decided to head back.” He told us.
“If there anything else you can tell us?” I asked and he shook his head.
“Not until you find the spies goodbye.” He said and he and the warriors left and his presence vanished into thin air.
“What now sister?” I asked.
“Now we need to find the spies he talked about we can't do anything until they are dealt with.” She said and I agreed.
{Next morning Noah POV}
I woke form I tried my best to sleep and I did have a little sccues and I took my pills and got out of bed and then letter appeared.
Dear Noah your presence is requested in canterlot along with the elements please come as soon as you can
After I read the letter I put all my amulets except my Sekhmet's the undergolems and Thornment.
I ran to the train station to see the girls were already there.” Hey did you get the same letter.” I said and showed them and they nodded and we boarded the train and they told me about all the strange phenomenons they were going through in town cotton candy clouds chocolate rain and the strange apples.
“We will get to the bottom of it.” I said and the girls were not to sure about it but I did not lose hope as we headed for canterlot.
After getting there we headed for the castle and headed to the throne room and we burst thourhg the doors.
“Princess Celestia we cam as fast as we could.” Twilight said as we ran up to her.
“Thank you everyone.” She said.
“Is this about the weather and the animals strange behavior? what's happening out there why isn't my magic working?.” Twilight said before Celestia raised her hand and she told us to follow her.
“ I brought you all for a matter of great importance it seems an old foe of mine someone I thought I had defeated long ago has returned his name is discord.” She said as she lead us through a hall of stained glass and we heard Fluttershy scream when she looked at one that I assumed to be discord and she hid behind me.
“Discord is the mischievous titan of disharmony.” She said and I stopped her there.
“Wow wow wow titan.” I said and she nodded.
“Yes he is a titan and an extremely powerful and he has been able to sustain himself out of his amulet which we have never been able to find and likely never will.” Celestia said.
“If he is as powerful as you say he is likely a legendary titans so he dies not have an amulet but a ring.” I said and they were confused.
“Legendary?” Celestia asked.
“Legendary titans are unique among titans ans their power but them is a completely different category than other titans almost no normal titan can face them alone.” I said and Celestia inlucked a door and pulled out a box and she opened it.
“The elements are gone!” She shouted and everyone was panicking.
“Stop panicking this is excepted wouldn't you want to get rid of the only thing that can defeat you .” I said and then there was laughing that echoed through the room.
“Well look at the know it all.” We heard and the voice echoed through the room and Celestia looked pissed.
“Discord show yourself!” She shouted herself and we looked around and he stained glass that Flutterhy was looking at started to move.
“Did you miss me Celestia I missed you.” He said as he began moving from stained glass to stained glass. “It’s quite lonely being turned to stone but you won't know because I don't turn ponies to stone.”” He said.
“Enough what have you done with the Elements!” Celestia yelled in anger.
“Oh nothing just borrowed them for a bit.” He said with a grin.
“You’ll never get away with this discord.” Celestia said and she stomped her hoof on the floor.
“I forgot how grim you can get it is quite boring.” He said and Rainbow yelled something and flew towards the stained glass crashing into it and not leaving a single crack on it.
“Oh you must be rainbowdash famed for her loyalty the element you represent.” He said as he enlarged himself on the glass.
“That right I will always be loyal to my friends.” She yelled in his face and he vanished
“Well see about that.” He said .
“Why are we wasting out.” Time Rarity said and discord reappeared.
“And the gorgeous Rarity Element of Generosity,” he said and continued to list of the other of the girls.
“You cant win discord.” I said and he appeared in the glass closest to me.
“And who are you?” He asked as he floated in the glass.
“I am Noah Casterwill knight of Equestria. “ I said.
“A knight how boring.” He said and I got angry as I summoned Nordrake and he breathed ice towards the glass window he was in.
“But a knight with titans not so boring.” HE said as he snapped his fingers and the ice melted.
“Tell us where he hid the elements!” Celestia yelled.
“Fine but I will only tell you my way.” He said and he cleared his throat and said.
“To retrieve your missing elements just make sense to this change of events twists and turns are my master plan then find the element back where you began .” He said and the glass returned to normal and Twilight went into thought.
“The maze they have to be there” She yelled and we ran there and I hid mt titans if he sees them he might take them so I will have to use them sparingly.
After we got to the maze Twilight said.”It will take forever to search everywhere.” She said then Rainbow said
“It won't take long as long as I have these I will get them in no time.” She said as she pointed to her wings then flew off and as soon as she went a few feet in the air her wings disappeared and she fell to the ground and Twilight and Rarity lost their horn and Fluttershy her wings.
“Nah nah ah.” Discord said as he appeared.
“Have give us our horns and wings back.” Twilight demanded.
“You will in due time just making sure you can't cheat you see this is the first rule of our game no flying and no magic.” Discord said.
“First rule?” Rainbow asked.
“Second rule is everypony has to play or I win.” He said with a grin.
“Good luck everpony.” He said laughing as he vanished and the girls rushed into the maze and I followed but was blocked by a force field at the entrance.
“Noah come on.” Twilight said.
“I cant something is stopping me!” I yelled and the root burst out of the ground and formed discords head.
“ I said everypony I have something else for you.” He said and the roots began to grow and blocked the entrance.
“What do you want discord.” I said.
“Well first it had been so long since I have seen my own kind so show me your titans.
“Sorry can't invoke them all dont have the power.” I said with my arms crossed.
“OK have many do you have right now?” He asked and I didn't really thinking laying was the best option.
“About 28 I think.” I said and he frowned.
“I can tell when people are lying.” He said and a hand formed about to snap.
“Ok but he is not a usable titan no matter what I do he does not listen I don't even know what he is.” I said as I showed him the ring and he nodded.
He snapped his fingers and suddenly dozens of Harlekins surrounded me.
“What is this!” I yelled and he laughed.
“Aren't they wonderful Titans of chaos the titans I created while I deal with theses ponies I will leave you with your own playmates goodbye.” He said and the roots died and the Harlekins charged laughing wildly and I had to go big.
“Undergolems Kilthane Kunoichi Sekhmets.” I said and they appeared and they charged the Undergolems were the first to attack as they hit the ground knocking the Harlakins off balance.
I felt weak summoning these titans I think it was because I barely slept last night Kilthan and the Sekhmets stayed by me and Kunoichi was cutting down titans left and right but they kept coming.
“Sekhmet’s you have to join in they can't beat them alone Kilthane can protect me till I recover.” I said they looked at each other and ran towards the fight I had gathered Enough strength to summon another titan.
“Albion.” I said and he appeared wielding his large sword ans standing at 7 foot 2 and he threw it skewering three titans and he pulled the energy rope and it came back to him and he stayed by me with Kilthane and the Harlekins overwhelmed one of the Under Golems and as he returned to his amulet left I saw Rainbow flying away from the way and she looked different she looked grey. But i did not have time to be distracted as the Harlekins were now trying to target me and the army of titans seemed endless as they kept coming and the other Undergoelms was overwhelmed by numbers.
All of my remaining titans retreated back to me and formed a circle around me.
I looked around to see them trying to swarm us and many of them were ignore the and trying to get to me and one of their claws dug into my side just before he was defeated by Alibion and I got an Idea.
I told Albion what to do. “Everyone duck.” I said and Albion grabbed the energy thread that connected to os sword and started to swing in around in a circle and it began to spin above him and my titans ducked as Albion bwgan to spin himself as he lowered the rope and it was killing all the titans around us and they seemed t stupid to care they would die if they stepped forward and they kept charging us only to be cut down by the spinning blade.
After an entire minute it ended and I was bleeding badly all except Albion who lifted me up when I fell to the ground because of the blood loss and he ran me towards the castle and burst through the doors the guards were about to intervene before they saw me and made way to the medical wing of the castle and when we got there the doctor took me out of Albions arms and he was covered in my blood.
I was put on a bed and they hooked me up to an IV and I was slipping out of consciousness.
{Third person POV}
“Get some stitches!” The doctor yelled and was trying to stop the bleeding.
“It's not safe to give him pony blood.” Another doctor said as a nurse tried to hook an IV with blood in it and she took it away and let the two doctors do their thing.
“We have to stop the bleeding or will never stabilize him I need an examination please.” The doctor trying to stop the bleeding said and the other doctor light up his horn and an aura enveloped Noah’s body and then faded.
“His kidney is shredded and a bone fragment is penetrating his left lung it not deadly right but if we leave it there it could tear a large hole and his lungs will fill with blood.” The doctor said and they didn't have much time.
“What’s going on here.” Celestia said as she entered the room and she saw Noah and Albion.
“What happened to him?” Celestia asked and as she asked that the door burst open and two Harlekins and they were rushing towards Noah and Albion stepped in between them and Noah he threw his word and killed one of them and when the titan got close he grabbed him by the throat then retracted his sword and slammed the Harlekin on the ground and then grabbed the hilt with both hands pointed the sword down and stabbed his sword in its chest and he disappeared.
“From what we just saw I’m guess those things attacked him.” I doctor said as he continued to press on the wound.
“We can't stop the bleeding and if i try to heal him the bone fragment in his lung would only rip open his lung right after we finished healing this wound.” The doctor said and Celestia didn't want to believe it even thought she had only known him for a short time she thought of him as a dear friend.
“It can’t be.” Celestia said as she sat down in a nearby chair.
“There is nothing more that we can do.” the doctor said and he took his hands off Noah and they both sat down as well never before in their careers have they had a death on their watch they thought their magic could heal everyone but know it seems they were wrong.
They all sat down in defeat and they could only wait for him to breath his final breath.
Celestia closed her eyes and something was agitating her something was shining through her eyelids almost like a blue flashing light.
“Can someone stop flashing that light.” Clestia said and the doctors looked around.
“It’s not us.” They said.
“Then who is it?” SHe asked as she opened her eyes and he gaze fell on Noah’s ring it was flashing with a blue light.
:What is it doing?” One of the doctors asked as small blue flames left the ring and traveled up his arm and then cross his chest until it reached his wounds and entered his body.
“What just happened.” The doctors asked and a blue light could be seen in his body right where the kidneys would be and Noah groaned and then the light moved to his left lung and Noah breathing stabilized and then the light moved back to the open moved and left and as they left the wound begin to close and only a scar remained.
After that the flames returned to the ring and the light disappeared.
{Noah POV}
My body felt like it weighed a ton and I slowly began to get up and when I opened my eyes I saw Albion and then I looked around and saw Celestia and some Doctors.
“What happened?” I asked and the doctors told me what happened with my ring.
I looked at my ring and thought. ‘No matter what you always help me even though you never let me summon you or let me learn your name.’ after that thought ran through my had I got up and started walking out.
“Wait there is no your fit to fight you can't go after Discord.” Celestia said as she and Albion chased after me and we got outside.
“Maybe but I can't just stay here and watch I have to do something Nordrake.” I said and he appeared and I got on him and so did Albion.
“I’m sorry but I have to do this I will likely regain some of my power along the way.” I said and Nordrake took off.
As e flew away from canterlot I had a chance to relax and try to get some of my strength.
“Wake me up when we get to Ponyville I have to rest.” I told Albion and I closed my eyes and tried to rest.
I did really know how long I was resting but Albion shook me waking me up and we were descending to the ground and I sat up and we landed and we made out way to the center of ponyville and everything was strange their were floating house dancing buffalo for some reason and cotton candy clouds.
“Where are you.” I said as we walked through town and we got to the center of town and their was discord sitting on a throne and I feel like my power was at full.
“Chaos is a wonderful thing.” Discord said as he filled a glass with chocolate milk and when he drank it the glass is what went down his throat and throw the chocolate milk away and it exploded
“OK it now or ever.” I said and I was about to rush him but then I saw the girls come out from behind some buildings.
“Not as wonderful as friendship.” Twilight said as she stood beside her friends and they all had their elements.
Discord sighed and said with a grin. “Oh this again.”
“That’s right you couldn't break apart our friendship for long.” Applejack said and suddenly discord used his magic to grabbed her element and he was dragged towards him.
“Oh don't lie to me I am the one who made you a liar.” He said and the rest of the girls except Twilight was dragged to him and Twilight teleported to her friends and cast a shield around them that broke his control on the elements and Twilight gave a speech about friendship and how her friends would always stick together.
“Oh fine try to use your little Elements I am missing some excellent chaos and I surprised you girls haven't noticed your other friend is missing.” He said and they looked around.
“What did you do to Noah!?” Applejack yelled.
“Who just left him to be torn apart by a small army of titans I created before coming to Equestria from what I remember they fell under the control of the blood spiral quiet a chaotic group Noah knows them quite well.” He said while laughing.
“What do you mean?” Twilight asked still keeping her glare.
“Oh he never told you he told Celestia thought it was only because she got him angry.” Discord said shrugging his shoulders.
“What happened?” Applejack asked.
“Just before he was sent here the blood spiral attacked Blood spiral facilities including his home where he and his father lived form there his father went to his basement and activated a machined that sent him here but it could only send one person so he his father tricked him and trapped him in glass box with the machine and the bloodspiral broke into a basement and destroyed the control that made the machine work when he tried to save him a blood spiral stabbed him in the back with a dagger and the last thing he said before being sent here was his father dying.” Discord said while laughing and the girls had tears in their eyes but them they wiped them away and angry and they were raised in the air and they eyes turned white and a rainbow came from their elements and Discord grind as the rainbow came within two feet of him the rainbow stopped moving forward and something was intercepting it and he laughed again
“I have been trapped in stone for thousands of years did you think I would not come up with a counter measures against those pesky elements I’m never going back.” He said while still laughing.
“It has to be a shield good thing I have something for that.” I said and I had to use all my power for this.
“Double Spell Shieldbreaker.” I said and the two beams of energy left my hands and hit the shield discord created to block the Elements and cracks started to form all around it and it broke surprised Discord and not leaving him time to defend himself.
After he turned to stone I stepped out from behind the house and my titans returned.
I looked at my clothes and they were covered in blood and my clothes were torn where the Harlekins claws bug into my side.
“Noah.” I heard Applejack say and i turned around and they gasped when they saw all the blood.
“It's not as bad as it looks I am already healed.” I said and Twilight said.
“Is what he said true what Discord said?” Twilight asked.
“Yes everything he said is true.” I said and before they could say anything else I said.
“I am not going to answer any questions now I just can't I will talk to you tomorrow.” I said and I left them and everything was slowly returning to normal and I went into my house to try to forget today ever happened.
