Huntik: Titans Of Equestria
Chapter 20
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI woke up before them again I always woke up early for some reason but I didnt mine it keep me from being dog piled when I woke up and I walked into the living room Sorcerel and Sabriel were up as well and they smiled when they saw me and they walked up and hugged me before letting go.
'At least these two aren't clingy or aggressive like the others.' I thought and kissed them both real quick.
"Lets go down stairs and get something to eat." I said and they nodded so we left the tower after after grabbing something to eat we went to the training yards to watch the guards.
they were all fairly skilled but it seems with the thousand year of peace seems to have dulled the guards training but it was still surprising they were still this skilled I guess I should show them how its done and I summoned Gybolg.
"Lets show them how its done." I said with a grin and they nodded and we walked out to a empty part of the yard.
"Lets do this." I said and Sabriel charged me and I summoned my Khopesh and she sung her sword and I blocked it and pushed her back by using dragonfist and I looked behind her and Sorcerel fired two bolts of blue energy simpler to cindlestrike form her hands and I used to sword to cut through them and Sabriel jumped and held her sword over her head and I moved out of the way before she could swing then it was Gybolgs turn while the other two kept me busy he made 10 Calbolgs and I used Nibblefire and I cut them to pieces and I ran towards Gybolg and he lifted his giant blade and swung it nearly hitting me and it hit a wall causing it to crumble.
"Cindlestrike." I said and the beam pierced through him sending him back to his amulet and both of the remaining titans.
"SandStorm." I said and the sand engulfed the area we were in and I pulled my mask form my jacket pocket and put it on and sneaked around Sabriel and Sorcerel stood back to back a smart move in this situation.
"Rippleburst." I said as I pointed a finger at them and it hit right between them sending them flying and I stood between the and the sand storm and both my hands were pointing at them.
"Well I guess I win." I said as my voice was a little muffled by the mask and they nodded and when I turned around all the guards were watching us and so were the princesses and my other titans.
"Hey just doing my morning training." I said and the princesses nodded and walked towards me.
"We thought about what you said when you first came here and we wont you to talk to he prisoners and try to get names out of them and we want you to talk to the one that attacked the gala first.
I nodded and we walked in to the castle and I asked.
"So has their been any progress with the research I gave you?" I asked and they looked at me as we walked.
"They are preforming a few test today we had a few tons of sand delivered to one of our labs." Celestia said.
"How many tests?" I asked.
"Around three today another two tomorrow if they don't get much results they found out a lot about that spell and it complexity and they managed to fill in a few gaps." She said.
"What do you mean gaps I spent years doing research on this." I said and I realized I was almost yelling.
"We know but our ponies are much more experienced in magic then your world we have not hidden our magic and it has allowed us to make many spells over the last few years." Celestia said and she handed me a few papers it was my research with many changes to it and I gave it back to her from now I am doing my own research.
after getting to the dungeon we reached a cell that had the black pony in it. "Here he is do what you have to." Luna said and I walked in and I saw he was restrained.
"Well lets get started first I am going to ask you who are the nobles and guards that work for you and if you don't you wont like the consequences I have not been having a good day." I said as I sat in a chair that was in front of him.
He just looked at me and said. "Buck you." He said and orange lighting sparked between my hands and some of the bolts struck him and he screamed in pain.
"Ready to talk or do I have to make you experience what your own burning flesh smells like." I said and I popped my knuckles.
He said nothing and I sighed and I pulled out Volcana and summoned her.
"And what is she going to do?" He said laughing.
"Sekhmet's do you mind holding his arm in place." I said and he stopped laughing and they walked in and held his arm even though he resisted he did not have a chance against their strength.
"Now then Volcana why don't you show our friend here how friendly you are." I said and she nodded and flew over to him and he struggled to get away form her and she grabbed his restrained arms and it started to burn and he continued to scream and after a minuet she left go and his arm and it fell limp at his side and I was nearly throwing up at the smell but I held it in.
"Ready to talk or do we have to move on to the other limbs." I said threateningly.
He said nothing hen I asked the Princesses. "Can you heal acid burns or recover limbs melted by acid? I asked and the looked at each other and nodded.
"Sekhmets hold his left leg out." I said and they did what I asked.
I aim my hand to the floor near to where he was sitting then said. "Poisionfang." I said and a green sludge shot form my hand and hit the floor and the cell floor started to melt then I put my hand on his leg
"Ether talk or your legs melt your choice." I said and he was sweating.
"Posion." I said and he yelled.
"Stop just stop I'll talk just heal me." He said.
"Everheal." I said and his arm was healed.
"He's yours and if her causes trouble call me and Luna do you know where I can find any sand I want to start researching again?" I asked and she reached in her pocket and pulled something out it was some kind of tiny bottle with a cork and it had a silver chain attached to it.
"I made this for when the spell was complete it has a simpler enchantment to your coin purse so it has a limit of 2 tons of sand it is already full." She said and she gave i to me.
"Thank you." I said and me and my titans walked out of the dungeon and back to the tower so I could work and I pulled out my Cypherdex and looked up my research.
"They may have more experience with magic but they know nothing about ours I never should have given them it." I said to myself as I sat down and Dark Dryad got me some tea.
"Thank you I needed this." I said as I took a sip and she also placed a bowl with nothing in it and she point to the bottle with the sand and I understood and I grabbed it and took the cork off and started to pour sand in it until it was half full then I put the cork back on.
"Ok lets look at my last entry." I said and scrolled down until I got to the bottom my last test was a few days before I came here and it provided little results of only moving a few grains of sand.
"Well it least it was something." I said and I looked back at the instructions I used for this one.
'Well with everything I know now I can make a few adjustment and maybe get a better result' I thought to myself and started to make the changes.
"Ok lets try this." I said and I put my hand in the sand and closed my eyes and let my magic flow into the sand I took my hand out.
I tried this in the previous experiment but I didn't have enough power back then to move it much but now I have more than enough.
"Ok lets try this." I said and I lifted my hand and concentrated and the sand in the bowl began to shack and lift out of the bowl and my hand started to shack and then i made my hand go left and it followed with extreme speed.
"Ok lets see if I can change the shape." I said and I lifted both hand and closed my eyes and pictured a horse form my world and when I opened my eyes a small horse made of sand hovered on the air and he ran though the air and when he was above the table the sand fell.
"What it was working!" I yelled and grabbed the sand and I noticed my magic was no longer in the sand and after a bit I found a funnel and put the sand back in the bottle after putting my magic back in it.
"I have to tell the princesses." I said as I left the tower leaving the titans there.
I found them in the throne room and they were alone.
"I already made a great stride in my research." I said aloud and they looked at me.
"And what is that?" Celestia asked.
"Though it was temporary I infused the sand with my magic and I could control it if only for half a minuet but after that it collapsed and my magic was no longer in the sand so I need something more permanent to fuse with the sand." I said and she nodded and she looked at the ground.
"And i am sorry for earlier I know you have worked in this for a long time but if you are willing the scientists can help you." She said then I looked to the side then to the ground and nodded.
"Yes and I'm sorry as well." I said and she nodded and we teleported to a room made of metal and ponies in lab coats everywhere.
Several of them stopped to look at us then one of them walked up to us and said. "Greeting princesses if there a reason you are here you know we are work on sensitive material here?" Asked the scientist and she stepped to the side and said.
"Noah this is the lead scientists on the sand his name his Oliver, Oliver this is Noah the one who did the research I have you." She said and we shook hands.
"So why are you here?" He asked.
"I have made a great stride and but there is a problem and the princesses were hoping we could work together to fix it." I said and he nodded.
"Well what did you find out?" He asked and I poured some sand on the table and put some of my magic in it and I made it fly around till it wore off and it fell back on the table and I explained the problem.
"Well this is defiantly progress but there is still a problem." He mumbled while rubbing his chin.
"Any thoughts?" I asked and he looked at the sand.
"Well the only thing I can think of is finding a way to make your magic self replicate after it enters the sand that is the only way I can see to make it permanent but there is not spell that can do that." He said and we all agreed.
"well at least we know more." I said and he nodded.
"What do you think Celestia?" I asked and she thought about it.
"why don't we use crystals." She said and the scientist snapped his fingers.
"Of course." He said.
"Crystals?" I asked.
"Crystals are used to replicate magic we use it to create electricity by cast a lighting spell inside it." She said and I nodded and he went into another room and when he came back he came back with several clear crystals.
"we are going to ave to grind them up if they are going to fit." I said and he nodded and he brought in a machined and he put them in it and a few very loud minuets later he pulled out extremely small shards of the crystal.
"Wont i have to empty half the sand in the bottle to put the shards in the middle and even if we did do that I would only be able to control it for a few seconds." I said and he was about to argue but went didn't.
"Is there a way to combine the sand and the crystal or maybe create sand from my magic so it is bound to me or something." I said and they looked at each other.
"Well there is a way to turn your magic into sand but it will take a lot of your energy and it might not recover for a while" He said and I nodded.
"Well if my research is correct it wont take much to control the sand anyway." I said and he nodded in agreement.
He took me to a room and their was a huge machine.
"Just insert your arm in the machine and we can begin." He said.
I looked at the machine and their was a hole and I put my right arm in it.
"Their are after effects of the machine first it will drain your magic magic that is forcefully taken take longer to recover than magic you used so it could take days to recover so I suggest resting and only using the titans you already have out to train the guards the other effects is sudden exhaustion at random times so you will need rest and the last one I can think of is maybe blacking out but that is unlikely their are other side effects but they are minor those are the major ones." He said and I nodded.
"Is this going to be hurt." I said and he looked up form his paper and said.
"Yes its going to hurt a lot and how much sand does that bottle hold?" He asked.
"Luna told me it hold two tons." I said and he froze and looked at me again.
"You sure you want to do this?" He asked and I nodded and he walked up to the machine and pressed a few buttons and he took the bottle.
"First were going to have to empty this into the machine then it can begin this might take a bit." He said and climbed the machine and started pouring the sand I could see the top of it so I did not know if their was a hole or a container but he was pouring for what felt like forever before he climb down.
"You will have ten seconds to prepare yourself then after it can not be stop unless we cut your arm off." He said and the Princesses walked in and he told them what the machine would do and they had looks or worry on their face.
I could hear the sound of a count down and I felt something clamp down on my arm and I couldn't move it at all.
Then I could hear the last tick of a count down and then their were loud sound and the hole my arm was in started to glow with a blue light and suddenly it felt like my arm was being ripped apart.
"TURN IT OFF!" I said screaming and they nothing but watch.
The pain only intensified as it kept going for what felt like forever and suddenly was arm was ejected out and I fell to the ground and when I looked at my arm it looked like it was broken in several places and there was blood flowing out of several puncture wounds from bones that were sticking out.
Celestia and Luna were already trying to help me Luna was trying to use her magic to put the bones back in place while Celestia tried to comfort me.
After Luna put mt bones back into place the healed my arm bu I still couldn't move it.
"I cant move my arm." I said and the doctor ran over and cast a spell.
"The nerves in your arm are fried it will take more than just magic to heal and even if you are able to move your arm again you might not have any feeling in it anymore." He said and the princesses held me up and then their was a beep and Oliver ran over to the machine and put the bottle under a small funnel attached to the machine and sand started to funnel into the bottle and the princesses sat me down in a chair and wrapped a cloth around my neck the draped over my chest and put my arm in it.
"That will keep your arm form moving for now." Luna said and after a few minuets another beep came and he took the bottle.
"Here you go 2 tons of magical sand bound by your magic." Oliver said as he put it on me.
"We will leave now he needs to rest hes been though enough today." Celestia said and he nodded and we teleported again.
We were back in the dinning hall and Celestia told the maids to get me something to help with any pain I might have later.
"Lets get him to his room." Luna said and I stopped her for a moment.
"First I want to test the sand." I said and they were about to object but I said.
"I want to see if the pain I went through was worth it before I do anything else." I said and they looked at each other then to me and nodded.
I was getting a little tired of standing and my sand started to fly out of the bottle and flew behind me and I looked to see it was now formed to look like a floating chair and I sat down in it and my feet were not touching the ground as the chair floated next to Celestia.
"Test successful lets go." I said and she smiled and nodded and she lead me to the tower and the chair made of sand floated above the stairs and she opened the door and I flew in and the chair sat me down in a real chair and the sand dispersed and went back into the bottle.
Then the door to my room opened and a sleepy Applejack walked though but she quickly woke up when she saw my arm.
"This is going to take a bit." I said as we started to tell everything that has happened since I woke up
