Huntik: Titans Of Equestria
Chapter 5
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe next morning I woke up and got up and I grabbed alI my titans including the new ones I make sure I could control them and I wanted to test them out and see how they fight I walked to the dining hall to get some breakfast and as I walked down the halls I heard talking in the dining hall.
“HAHAHA you have to be joking no one can control titans even if there would have been havoc by now we all know all those that have wielded titans abuse their newfound power.” Said one voice then I could here Celestia speak.
“There were a few that did not abuse the titans power like Starswirl, he wielded a titan and instead of abusing it he used it to help others.” She said then a new voice announced itself.
“Let’s see what he can do first then we can decide what to do.” This new voice said and I entered the room to see three figure sitting near Celestia and Luna except for one right next to Luna the one sitting right next to Celestia was a griffin he had scars over his body his feathers were brown except on his wings with the tips of the feathers being white his fur as brown as well.
The one next to griffin was a dragon[dragons can alter their size when the fully mature but it can make them uncomfortable] and next to him was a minotaur he horns had cracks in them he also had scars on his body and next to him was a staff and he stood at 7 feet tall.
I sat next to Luna and she smiled and the minotaur said.” So your the titan wielder.” The minotaur said.
“Seeker and yes I am.” I said and it looked like none of them were convinced so I looked for a approtatte titan to prove it and I found Lunar and Nordrake I guess they could work.
“Come Nordrake and Lunar.” I said as I held their amulets and they appeared in a flash of light with Lunar flying in the air and Nordrake standing behind me then Lunar landed and stood beside me.
All of the other at the table except Luna and Celestia were shocked and the minotaur almost moved to grab his staff but halted when Celestia said something.
“It’s alright they are under his control.” She said then I noticed she looked away from them and at Lunar beside me then I looked at her her eyes were sparkling as she looked at something and I followed her gaze to what looked like three pieces of cake in front of Celestia.
“Why are you having cake for breakfast?” I asked
“After Luna was gone I had to find something to comfort me and I found comfort in cake and I have been stressed recently.” She said embarrassed but still looked at Lunar and where she was looking and she quickly gave in as she put a piece of cake on another plate with a fork and slide it over to Lunar and she took it and sat on the floor as she began to eat the piece of cake with a huge smile on her face and we continued.
“So what Celestia said was true there is someone that can command the ancient titans.” The griffin said.
“Well I believe introduction are in order This is Noah.” Celestia said gesturing to me.” The griffin next to me is king Arthur he rules the griffin kingdom the dragon is the Dragon lord Torch he rules the dragon kingdom and the last one is Artemis stonefist leader of the minotaurs there are here to see what the titans can do.” Celestia explained and I nodded.
“So how will we do this?” I asked.
“Your titans will be put up against some of my guard as well a few griffins and minotaurs Torch did not bring any of his dragons so it will just be them.” She told me and a waiter gave me a menu.
“I will just have some bacon and scrambled eggs.” I said.
“So your a carnivore?” Arthur asked.
“Omnivore.” I conformed and we all ate after Lunar finished her piece of cake she had chocolate all over her mouth so I gave her a napkin.
“So I guess I follow you?” I asked Celestia and she nodded and I followed her and the other rulers to what appeared to be a training yard it was a opened area with a lot of weapon racks targets and other training equipment and scatter around the place were soldier of the mintoures ponies and griffins and I saw a doctor walking towards us.
“Hello I am the doctor that is opersing your condition and we already have the sample we got from the hospital and we found out a few things on how it spreads.” He told me.
“What condition?” Asked the rulers and Celesta explained what happened in the tunnels and the hospital.
“But back to what I was saying it seems to absorb attributeless magic the magic that flows in the air.” As he said that my watch started beeping and I took out my pills.
“Anyone have any water?” I asked and the minotaur king pulled out a flask and gave it to me and I took my pills and drank the water then gave it back to him and put my pills away.
“Ok everypony has a attribute like Celestia is better with fire magic than with water magic that kind of stuff but it seems it can only take the attributeless magic so getting magic from others should be fine.” He said.
“That is good so I guess this will work.” Celestia said and I looked at her.
“I want you to summon of our titans but I knew you didn’t have the power to summon them all.” She said and I understood and I grabbed all of the amulets Nordrake and Lunar were already out and behind me.
“Ok focus of magic in my and I will summon them.” I said and both Celestia and Luna but a hand on my shoulders and I could feel their power ready to help me.
I Breathed deeply and said.”Prepare for battle Sekhmet’s, Dark Dryad, Thornment, Doberman, Dark Pharaoh, Kunoichi, Hitokiri, Scarabese, Gybolg, Silver hunter, Psikofen!” I shouted and they all appeared shocking those in the training yard Silver hunter stood at 6 foot and 3 inches while Kunoichi and Hitokiri Both stood at a good 6 foot 5.
Silver hunter walked up to me and started to sniff my face. ‘If this guy is like other wolfs he might challenge to be the alpha or something like that I should be careful.’ I thought and I had practiced using powers without saying them but I only managed to get raypluse down the others are proving difficult I put my hands behind my back and I could feel the orange lighting sparking between my fingers.
The other rulers including Luna and Celestia noticed this and Artemis gripped his staff expecting a fight. Silver hunter continued to sniff for a few more seconds before he licked me and the sparks between my hands ended and he lied down next to me and the Scarabese were gathered.
“I was worried there wolf where I came from sometimes times challenge their alphas for leadership.” I said and and they nodded in understanding why I was worried for a moment.
The sliders and the ponies were talking on battle formations against my titans even even though it was pointless with the selection of titans it would be very difficult for them to win and Celestia and Luna raised a barrier and the Scarabese formed Anubian.
“What is this for?” I asked.
“If anyone them suffer any serious injuries they will be teleported out and healed.” Luna told me and I guess I should tell my titans the plan.
“Come on circle around me.” I said and they all gathered with Anubian and Nordak behind them looking over.
“Ok then let’s go over the plan Gybolg you will be in the back making your troops until we can overwhelm them, Thornment, and Psikofen will guard you Anubian, Sekhmet’s and Doberman you will charge their frontlines Kunoichi and Hitokiri I might not know much about you, but I know your fast you two will ship away at their flanks Kunoichi will go right Hitokiri will take the other, Nordrake you will target the minotaurs first then the flyers Dark Pharaoh you will attack the flyers, Lunar you will provide support when needed I don't know how strong you are offensively so do not engage only defend, Silver hunter you will cover her Dark Dryad will try to keep enemies from Nordrake until he is finished with the minotaurs then she will join in defending Gybolg.” I said as I drew the plan in the dirt with a stick it is all I could come up with so soon and it looks like they were ready for the fight as they all lined up ponies were in the front the pegusi and griffins were ready to take to the sky and the minutes were in the back wielding large weapons.
I stepped out of the barrier and stood next to the rulers and watched as the battle was about to begin and I thought of a fun way to make this more exciting.
“Anyone want to place bets?” I asked and they grinned except Celestia Luna was though but it seemed she and her sister would not take part.
“300.” Arthur bet.
“I have more than enough to spare 500.” Torch said
“200.” Artemis said and the battle has begun Gybold stayed in the back plating his seeds with Thornment and Psikofen guarding him Nordrake was breathing ice on the miniatures in the back and they were immediately teleported out of the barrier but there were still a few left Dark Pharaoh was doing well as he flew through the air and fired balls of sand that hit with high accuracy those that got hit ball the balls were teleported out and now the minotaurs were out of the barrier Aunbian was throwing hit opponents into other while the Sekhmet’s expertly swung their swords taking out their enemies and the Doberman was spinning his spear in a very fast motion his spear to stop arrows and any that made it through bounced off his thick obsidian armor.
“Gybolg was now ready with his small army of Calbolg and their lowered their barbed spear and charged forward and my titans opponents were quickly overwhelmed by superior numbers and strength and all of them were teleported out of the barrier and now that I looked over them I didn’t really pay attention there were over a hundred of them.
“So were you guys serious about the betting or were you just saying it for fun because I don't mind if you weren't serious.” I told them because they must have been a little embarrassed that they were defeated without taking out a single titan.
“I’m fine that little won't harm my kingdom.” Arthur said with a shrug and the others said similar things and I relaxed that they weren't angry and then they looked back at my titans and I ordered them all to return.
“So what next?” I asked.
“Now we want to see how you compare to the guards you will face the captain of the guard and then we can see you spar with your titans to see how strong they are.” Luna explained.
“Bladecall.” I said and my khopesh appeared in my right hand and Artemis looked at my sword and asked.
“What kind of sword is that.
“It is a khopesh it evolved from the battle axe it combines the cutting ability of the slashing axe with the penetrating ability in one weapon, that point that’s in line with the wrist allows for the penarative thrust.” I said as I explained what it was and as I said point I gestured to the end of the sword where the blade ended with a sharp point.
“It was made in ancient egypt one of my favorite parts of history.” I said and I heard heavy footsteps behind me and I turned around to see a Unicorn pony.
“Are you the captain?” I asked and he nodded
“I’m shining armor, Twilight's brother.” He told me with a smile and he held out his hand and I shook it and smiled as well.
“So you ready to fight?” He asked and I nodded and then I heard a familiar voice call my name.
“Hey Noah I finished the armor you wanted even though it was trickier than I thought even with the draw out sketch you gave me and I got the new mask enchanted for you.” Said a approaching pony he was the blacksmith he was a unicorn with black fur a blond mane and blue eyes. He was carrying a large case with my new armor in it even though it was mostly made of cloth from what I told him to make it would meet my needs.
He gave me the case and I opened it and put t all on the only things that were really armor were the mask, and the arm and legs guards but I got him to add a few hidden tricks. I lastly put one the mask and Shining asked.
“What enchantment are on the mask?” There were three enchantments on it.
“Well I explained a Dilemma to him and he found a enchant that could work for me se he told me before unicorn magic was as advanced as it was today you guys used words as well as your horns to cast spell and they were called words of power one of the enchantments mute words of power to where they can not be heard and the other keeps anything other than air from entering the mask and finally a enchant that lets me look through the mask as if I was not wearing it.” I said as I explained each one and he nodded.
We walked to the center of the yard where the rulers could see and we got ready.
“Begin.” Celestia said and he charge me straight away he lifted he shield and was about to attack.
He lunged forward with his sword and I sidestepped and struck near the hilt of his sword with my sword in a attempt to disarm him but he will held sword firmly and swun using his momentum to increase his speed and I blocked with my khopesh but it sent me skidding across the ground but I still stood and I fired a raypulse and it launched him as it struck him with high speed and he collided with a wall.
He slowly got back as the orange lighting arked off his armor and a black spot showed where it struck him he took off his armor and dropped his shield and he disappeared in a flash of light I looked around but was to late he reapered beside me and punched me in the face with some kind of magic casing around his fist and he sent me flying.
I collided with a wall and fell to the ground I looked over to Celestia and saw the doctor showing her some kind of tablet and I got back up and I could feel the rush of energy the doctor told me about and I couldn't help but smile I haven’t had a good fight for a while.
“NimbleFire.” I said but my mask stopped anyone else from here and I sped towards him surprising the rulers at how fast I was right now.
“Double spell Iron hand.” I said and both my fist af forearm were coated in the metallic casing and I punched im in the middle of the chest and I think I heard a rib or two break as he launched into another wall with a crater forming behind him as he made contact and the fight was over when Celestia said.
“Enough.” She said as she ran to help shining and the doctor ran to me and he cast a spell that enveloped my body then faded and he wrote something down.
I ran over to Celestia and shining armor and helped him up after she healed him.” Sorry about that I got a little excited.” I said and after a few apologies we decided to take a break for lunch I had not noticed it had been hours since we first walked out here.
After going back in Luna almost stumbled to the ground before regaining her balance.”Something wrong?” I asked.
“No it’s just you summoning all those titans took a little more out of me then I thought.” Luna said and it was true I have never heard of anyone summoning 14 titans at once.
“Well once we have lunch you should feel better.” I said and we got back to the dinning hall and we ordered food it was all good and we decided to have a break before I showed them how I fought titans and I would be able to test of the tricks on this armor and see how well they hold up Shining armor was not bad in a fight but titans are a better matchup for me I’m more used to them.
“I’m going to my room for a bit to do some reading.” I said and they all nodded and I left the dining hall and started walking towards my room and the way to my room I heard Celestia has a nephew who is way on diplomatic issues right now but he will be back when the gala happens from what I heard.
After entering my room I grabbed my father book again and took off my armor for now and I laid on the bed and open the book to see what spells were within they were all easy to understand and i might be able to learn them easily.
I continued to read till I got to the end of the book and and when I was about to close it before the back cover shifted a bit and then I peeled it to see nothing for a second I thought there would be a hidden message from my father but there was nothing and I put the book away and put my armor back on and started to walk back to the dining hall but I was meet halfway by Celestia.
“Oh hey.” I said and she looked behind then back to me and she had a sad look in her eyes.
“I have to tell you something.” She said.
“What is it?” I asked.
“The real reason we wanted you to spar with your titans is because we wanted to see if we could trigger what happened in the caves the other day if we can figure out how it affects you exactly maybe we can help you remove or control this.” She said as she looked down at the ground.
I closed my eyes for a second and sighed then looked at her. “It’s ok I understand.” I said and she looked up.
“Thank you.” She said then added.” Let's go back to the dining hall they are all waiting for us.” She said and we headed for the dinning hall together.
