Huntik: Titans Of Equestria
Chapter 8: Chapter 8 attack on the Gala
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThis was the first time coming here waking up without having a bad dream and I was happy about that I still missed my dad but I ow he would be happy that I’m safe here and I don't have to worry about things like he did and now I can live peacefully here with my new friends.
I got out of bed and went down stairs I decided to take the biggest bedroom I could find after getting to the first floor I went to the kitchen to make everyone dinner then I remembered I didn't have any food yet.
“I guess I need to go to the market today.” I told myself and all the girls were awake now and they had brought food of their own and they were all eating as I made a list of things to get from the market.
“Hey Noah can Titans eat?” Twilight asked me.
“Yes they can Lunar ate a piece of cake.” I said.
“Lunar?” Fluttershy asked and I should them all my new titans and Fluttershy loved Silver Hunter it was kind of funny when he rolled on his back and she rubbed his belly I guess he is a just a very big lap dog.
“Well you guys have fun I will leave the titans out so maybe you can make friends and I will go to the market to get what I need for my house.” I said as I left the house to go to the market.
After getting to the market I looked around I saw fruits vegetables and no meats until I saw a Minotaur selling fish I grabbed a few fish and a little bit of everything I started to head back as I walked back I looked around town to see what else was here I came up to a shop and it gave off a creepy vibe and I walked it to see what was inside.
When I walked inside I was weapons armor items imbued with magic and books with strange writing the ring tried to translate but I looked away for before it could take effect and I continued to looked around for anything that caught my eye and I found something strange it was a hilt with do blade and I heard a voice.
“That piece of metal is an interesting weapon.” he said and I turned around to see a pony standing behind a counter.
“What is it?” I asked him and he answered.
“It is a mana weapon it is a weapon that changes its form based in what the user wants whether it be a whip sword dagger or anything only downside is it takes a lot of control to use and I a lot of ponies that want weapons want something easy that they can use without much practice but you look like someone who is not afraid of a challenge.” He said and I looked at the hilt it was made of gold and it felt good in my left hand so maybe I can dual wield with my Khopesh.
“How much?” I asked and he thought about it and waved his hand.
“You can keep it it not worth anything around here not even collectors want it.” He said and I thanked him and walked out to go back home and after that I decided to try the new weapon I held it in my left hand.
“So how does thing work exactly?” I asked myself and guess I just had to focus my power in it and think of what I want.
I could feel the hilt take some of my energy and I thought of something simple a curved dagger and form the hole in the hilt a sand colored energy formed the curved dagger and from my excitement that it work on the first try I stopped thinking and it vanished and I saw a light at the bottom of the hilt and there was a green light on the circle at the bottom of the hilt and it went all the way around.
“Is this a battery that useful I think I guess I have to keep thinking of what I want to keep it out.” I said to myself as I thought of the dagger again and it appeared .
After testing it I tried to put it down and suddenly it disappeared like my Khopesh when I un summon it and I thought it was like like my word so I tried to summoning them both.
“Double Spell BladeCall.” I said and they both appeared the hilt in my left my sword in my right then I unsummened them both and I walked down stairs and put everything away that I bought.
I walked out the dining room after everything was done and saw Lunar holding a pie dish and her face buried in an apple pie.
Kunoichi was eatin what looked like cupcakes take small bits at a time Hitokiri was just staring at his cupcake as it sat on his plate and his mask made him look like he was glaring at it or some odd reason.
Silver hunter was just sleeping in a corner of the room with Fluttershy resting her head on his fur.
“Hey Noah. i heard beside me and saw Applejack with a worried look on her face.
“Yes is something wrong?” I asked.
“Yes but I need to talk to you alone for a sec.” She said and I followed her to an empty room and I closed the door.
“What's wrong?” I asked her as I held her hands.
“I need money for the farm.” She said,
“That's not a problem but why do you need it I thought since the house was no longer cursed you would sell better.” I said.
“Yes news has already spread across town about that but taxes have been a problem lately and we have been barely been able to keep food on the table just to pay all of them.” She said with tears in her eyes.
I hugged her and said.” You can have all the bits you need and I will talk to Celestia at the Gala and see what is going on ok.” I told and she rested her head on my shoulder and after a few minutes of just standing there we separated.
“Let’s get ready for the gala you should go to rarity I already have a suit that Rarity made for me so I will wait for you girls to return.” I said and she nodded and left the room and I went upstairs and put my suit on and grabbed my ticket and put it in my pocket.
I also noticed the ticket also said plus one so maybe one of my titans can enjoy the gala with me that will be interesting but which should I bring almost all my titans tower over me and Lunar is like a little child and a messy eater i will have to teach her to eat properly at some point and not like an animal even it was a little funny watching her bury her face in apple pie.
Looking back at that made me chuckle a bit but now I had to decide who to bring with me I guess I could bring Sekhmet and have a few amulets around my neck.
“Cme out Sekhmet.” I said and she appeared and the sword were hanging on her waist I put my fathers Sekhmet around my next along with Shifter Nordrake Kunoichi and Dark Dryad and I told the titans I left in the dining room to return to their amulets and I waited downstairs for the girls to come back so we can go the the train station and go to the Gala.
After waiting for about half an hour I heard a knock on the door and I opened the door to see them in their dresses[just the dresses this is the one one I could find with the dresses].
“Wow.” I said as I looked at them they all looked beautiful and AppleJack elbowed me in the chest to get my attention.
“Come on partner we gotta go.” She said and Sekhmet walked outside.
“Why is she out?” Rainbow asked.
“The ticket said plus one so I thought i could bring one of them along with me so she can enjoy as well.” I explained and they all nodded in understanding and we left for the train station.
{Third person outside Canterlot}
Just outside Canterlot there was a large group of hooded figures of many races ponies minotaurs griffins and others as well and in front of the group stood one pony that had his hood off he was a pony he was a unicorn with black fur and eyes that glowed with red energy and he turned to face his followers.
“Tonight is a glorious night. Tonight we overthrow the false goddesses that rule this kingdom and pave the way for the true gods of this world.” The pony said and all of the hooded figures cheered.
“When we kill the false goddesses the power surge it will cause will open a doorway to the void and allow the true gods to return to the mortal world and destroy the non believers and we will rule his land. WHO DO YOU SERVE!” The pony yelled.
“WE SERVE THE TRUE GODS!” The followers yelled as they held their fists up high and the pony smiled and now all they had to do was wait for the moment to strike.
{One hour later Noah POV train station in Canterlot}
We were now at the train station and were stretching our legs and Applejack walked up to me with a curious look on her face.
“Hey can I ask a personal question?” She asked.
I guess it wasn't really a problem since we were in a relationship now.” Sure.” I said.
“What about Sekhmet made her attractive to you I’m not saying she is ugly or anything I just wanted to ask?” She asked me.
“Well she was one of my first titans and we have been together since I was a child and she is one of my primary titans and I never went to school so I never had any girls to talk to and as I got older my mind tended to wonder and lastly and you really have to look at her to notice this but her skirt looks a little low and me being only being a teenager made my imagination run a little wild but we never did anything.” I told her and I could feel my face heat up a bit and we both looked her Sekhmet and saw she was stretching as well.
“Well when you say it like that it was only naturally for you to she her like that.” Applejack said and she hugged me. “Thank you for telling me.”
“It wasn't a problem we are in a relationship now so there should be no secrets between us.” I said and we let go of each other and she nodded and we all started to head to the castle.
After reaching the castle we had to enter through the front where some guards are going to have to look at our invitations.
“Invitations please .” They said and we each pulled out our invitations and when they saw mine they said.
“The princess wants to see you she said for you to go to the dining room she want to tell or give you something.” The guard said as he took my invitation and me and Sekhmet walked inside and started to head towards the dining hall..
When we got there I saw Celestia and Luna sitting in there chairs and me and Sekhmet walked inside and sat down and a butler immediately walked in and this one was a griffin and he set down a plate with a lid in front of Sekhmet.
“Twilight sent me a letter and it said the Titans could eat even though I already know.” Celestia said it was true she gave a piece of cake to Lunar and the Griffin removed the lid from the plat showing large piece of well done meat and I saw there were roasted chicken legs, steaks, and sushi.
Sekhmet started to eat after sniffing it a bit she seemed to enjoy the chicken legs and I looked towards the princesses.
“What did you want to talk to me about?” I asked.
“We have reason to believe that the Gala will be attacked today we wanted to ask you to keep an eye out just in case.” Luna said then said. “We could not say this in public if we did there would be panic so we had to tell you in private.” She said and I understood.
“And if there is an a attack we would like to knight you.” Celestia said.
“Knight me why?” I asked.
“Knighting you would also make you a noble and you would oversee Ponyville and Clousdale as for why many of the nobles of been trying to take that position because the elemnt live there and if a noble had them live in a place that was under there care it would give them greater political power and a higher standing than most nobles.” Celestia said,
“I suppose that makes sine and if there was an attack if would give you more reason to give me that title if I help defeat the attackers?” I asked and they nodded and I looked back at Sekhmet and she was finishing her meal she was a fast eater I suppose.
“And also when you talk about your ancestors you said lord Casterwill so we thought you were already part of a noble family.” Luna said.
“Well that is true in a way but we are known in normal society the only ones that would consider us nobles are seekers and our family doesn't really interfere much with other seekers business one time when my father returned from a trip most of the Casterwill’s did not want to fight the blood spiral and wanted to stay out of it it was only after Sophie Casterwill became leader of the elders did they interfere.” I said and they nodded.
“Well let’s join the party you will be announced with us so you should be prepared to get the attention of the nobles.” Luna warned me and Me and Sekhmet got up and followed the princesses to the gala and we stopped at the door and a guard saw us and opened the door and there was a terrace in front of us with stairs that went down all around the room were large window and at the ceiling there was a skylight.
“Now presenting Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!” He shouted and they walked through o show themselves and before they started to walk down Celestia whispered something to the guard.
“Also presenting Noah Casterwill and his plus one Sekhmet!” He also shouted and we walked out and all the nobles we looking at us as we walked down the stairs. Once we got down we walked around for a bit Sekhmet never left my side her appearance since to keep the nobles n edge but it seems two weren't afraid and approached me.
“Hello.” He said and I looked at the two.
“Good evening how are you two?” I said with a slight bow of my head to show my respect for not being afraid.
“We are good I am Fancy Pants and this is my wife Fleur De Lis.” He said with a small bow of his own I liked him already.
“Honestly I thought all the nobles would be scared of by my friend here.” I said using my thumb to point behind me.
“Yes but we don't think Celestia would invite anyone dangerous to the Gala that is why we approached.” Fancy said.
“Well it's nice to meet some of the nobles of canterlot I thought a lot of you would be snobs no offence.” I said and they nodded.
“That is true for some nobles like Prince Blueblood but you wont get that treatment fromme and Fleur here.” He said.
“Well it’s be nice meeting you but it seems we must part hope to see you two again.” I said and smiled and so did they and we went our separate ways and I saw Pinkie trying to talk to the musicians.
“Why can’t you play the Pony Poki parties are supposed to be fun.” She said excitedly and the musicians were getting very annoyed.
“Um Pinkie I think you should stop.” I said and she looked at me with sad eyes.
“But why this music is so dull.” She pleaded and I sighed.
“You call yourself a party extraordinaire don't you.” I said and she nodded.
“Well you have to have the right music for each part you are used to parties that are fun and not very formal this is a formal party where nobles gather mostly to make connections with other nobles and see what opportunities they could take advantage off of course they are some that think this party is fun but you can't just go changing it these musicians have practiced long and hard this this event and they are happy to be here and they are performing the music they were hired to do you can't just change that you didn't make this party someone else did so you should respect the decisions they made.” I said and the musicians smiled and returned to their music and Pinkie looked a little sad but understood my reasoning.
“Thank you for understand now then please try to enjoy the party as much as you can.” I suggested and led her away from the stay and some of the musicians gave me a thumbs up for helping.
After leading Pinkie away a female Noble approached me.
“Hello.” She said.
“Hi.” I said back.
“I heard a few rumore and I wanted to see if there were true.” She said.
“And what are these rumors?” I asked her.
“Well there is one that you are dating Applejack element of Honesty and also Celestia will give the responsibility to watch ponyville and cloudsdale to you.” She said and I didn't know how she heard about the knighting thing even though it is not exactly that.
“Well I am dating Applejack but I don't know about that last part.” I said it is only if the gala is attacked.
“Well I should go find her and see if we can dance see you later.” I said and before I moved to leave she said.
“You have unique eyes.” She said.
“Thank but I must go now.” I said and left to find Applejack she was neardy the concession stand grabbing an apple.
“Hey Applejack.” I said as I hugged her from behind.
“Hey Sugarcube what did the princess have to say?” She asked.
“Nothing you have to worry about because it won't happen.” I said and I feel my senses on high alert and I looked at Sekhmet and it looks like it was the same for her and I signaled her to hid behind a pillar and she obeyed.
“What’s going on Noah?” Applejack asked and I had to say something to her.
“Applejack you need to hid something is coming and you won't be able to help so you need to be out of the way so I can.” I said and she looked conflict but nodded and she ran off somewhere and I grabbed my amulets and got ready for a fight.
I ran over to the princesses and they looked at me and saw I had my amulets in hand and they knew what I was thinking and they looked around to see if they can see where they will come from.
“I don't know where they are but I can feel their murderous intent it very hard not to miss but I don't know who they are after.” I told them and I could feel their murderous intent grow and I could tell they were about to attack and all the windows including the skylight shattered and many cloaked figures jumped through and I could tell there were many different races here.
Guard were bow using the intruders but some of them pulled out something but I couldn't see it clearly.
“Devoir them Lich.” Shouted some of them and the others said.
“Poison them Venomaster.” Some other and I saw many of the did not have titans only about 13 of them had titans and there were a total of 30 of them cloaked figures.
The gurads stopped when they saw the titans many of the fought my titans and knew they were no match for them and not it was time for me to join in.
“Attack Power bounded Sekhmet, Kunoichi, Dark Dryad and Nordrake.” I said and Noradrake immediately jump up and landed on three of the Venomaster crushing them and sending them back to their amulet and the rest of my titand began to fight and my Sekhmet come from behind the pillar and started to fight their seekers.
I ran up to the guards and said. “Go for the others I will deal with the titans.” I said and they smiled and nodded and charged to help my Sekhmet.
Two liches lifted their damaged sword and swung at me and but I summoned both my weapon my Khopesh was used to block their blades while I used the mana weapon to make a mace i I got the two liches they were weak to blunt attacks and they were sent back to their amulets and Venomaster took their blades as he used his snake tail whip to knock my Khopesh from my hand he he spit acidic venom at me and I dodged and the venom started to melt the stone floor and I turned the mana weapon into a dagger and stab him in the gut defeating him and sending him back.
With the combined effort of me my titans and the guards we managed to apprehend all but one of them he was a unicorn and he did not wear a hood.
“You can't stop us we serve the true gods of this world we are the Nemesis order.” He said and he pulled out an amulet.
“Now witness the power of the true Gods Undergolem.” He said and the floor cracked as the 18 foot titan landed and its eyes glowed with reed energy as it yelled and charged.
“Oh no this is bad.” I said and Celestia said.
“What kind of titan is that?” She asked.
“It is an Undergolem they can fight for hours without tiring and it grow stronger as the fight goes on I need an opening.” I said and the Under golems started to destroy everything and suddenly my mind was assaulted by screams and I fell to my knees.
Applejack ran from her dinging place and to my aid as she helped me up.”What's wrong Noah?” She asked me and I didn't know and I saw Celestia and Luna trying to deal damage to the Undergolem.
“Having fun how about another Undergolem.” He said and another appeared and I could see him sweating and the red energy dimmed in his eyes and the screams in my head doubled.
“Save them.” A male voice said through the screams and it said it again and my ring was glowing.
Then I realized the Undergolems were doing this because their seeker told hem two it was because they were being control through some kind of magic against their will.
“ Ok then.” I said and ran towards one of the golems and grabbed my mana weapon I knew how to beat them i made planes for something like this encase I have meet one of these thing.
The Undegolems saw me and one of them threw a punch and his first was buried in the stone floor.
“Findshape.” I said and cast it on the floor trapping the Undergolem and I ran up his arm and turned the mana weapon into a rapier there was one one part unprotected by his stony body his eyes and I stabbed through his left eye and he was sent back and I jumped in the air and towards the pony that invoked them he was too surprised to see one of them defeated that he failed to notice me come at me from above and then I kicked the amulets out of his hands.
“Bubblelift.” I and put the amulets in a blue bubble that floated behind me
Celestia and Luna’s combined power managed to beat the Undergolem and he returned to the amulet.
The pony was furies now. “This isn’t the last you seen of us mark my words.” he sand and teleported away.
I gathered all the amulet they had and cast sorrowbound on all of them and they all had a orange and pink bubble around them.
“What are these bubbles?” Celestia asked.
“This is sorrowbound it severs the bond between a seeker and a titan but can be rebounded if they touch them again it will keep them under control and safe.” I told her and Rainbow spoke up.
“What about those two the blue they are in us blue.” She said.
“That is because these two were not willingly bounded will the other ones were and I want to see if I can bond with them.” I said and then Luna said.
“Why down you want to bond with the rest?” She asked.
“Titans choose who they serve and they normally serve those with a similar personality to their previous seeker and if a seeker personality were to undergo a sudden change they can reject them mt nearly changed when I killed those diamond dogs but my titans still accept me and with the vast majority of titans below us have never had a seeker so bonding with them is simple.” I explained.
“The titans in the sorrowbound will be taken below so they will never get them back.” Celestia said.
I popped the bubble and the amulets landed in my hand and when e bond I felt graduated and happiness.
“Well I thinks everything good now.” I said and I looked around to see all of the nobles recovering from what happened and I saw a massive cake on a nearly broken table and I saw Rarity standing next to a unicorn with white fur and a blond mane and she wore a white suit with a rose in the shirt pocket.
One of the table legs broke and everything went in slow motion as I saw him grab Rarity and try to use her as a shield but my body moved without me thinking and my mana weapon turning into a whip and wrapped around Rarity and I pulled her away and the cake landed on the Stallion.
“You ok Rarity?” Rainbow dash asked her friend.
“Yes her prince tried to use m as shield how uncouth.” She said and the prince stood up a he was covered in the cake and he stormed this way and I used my arm to push Rarity behind me.
.”Which one of you did it!” He shouted.
“I only stopped you from using Rarity as a shield.” I said and he become furious.
“Guards arrest him!” He shouted and all the guards stopped and looked at me in fear if the even tried to move to attack me they knew they could die.
“What are you doing!” He shouted and Celestia was about to shout at him but I told her to to wait.
“If any one needs to go to jail it’s you for trying to use her as a shield you have no right to call yourself a prince.” I said and he turn face me.
“She may be a element of harmony but she is still only a commoner and commoners are meant to serve the crown.” He sai with a smug.
“HAHAHA you think you are so special don't you but all the nobles in canterlot cannot amount to a single commoner.” I stated and he threw a fist at me but I dodged and Dark Dryad restrained him with her vines.
“Release me at once!” He shouted me I punched him in the face to shut him up.
“Listen here you spoiled brat most of you nobles are nothing more than parasites on society you think you are so high and might just because you were born in the upper class you try to evade taxes so you can horde money and people of the lower class pay for your greed did you know Applejack’s family can barely keep food on the table because of an increase of their taxes well it is because nobles like you come crying and whining to the princesses the commoners are the ones that truly rule a kingdom they make up the majority of the military they grow the food that is put on your tables and commoners are the ones that cook it as well they clean your messes they protect you they make sure you have a bed to sleep in what are you with out commoners.” I said aloud letting all the nobles hear.
“Nothing you are nothing without them you can't do anything without them but they can do everything without you what have you done for society except horde money and live in paradise as commoners work all day and some work all night just to feed their families you are outnumbered a thousand to one all it takes is one pony to get sick of how they are being treated and that can light a fire that can not be put out it doesn't matter how much money you have it wont protected you I be your guards are commoners do you expect them to fight their families no they will rally at their side against you the nobles who can't even defend themselves so I suggest you think long and hard about what I said because one day you might be at the receiving end of a blade of the people you drove to poverty and despair.” I said and all the nobles started to talk amongst themselves as they left and Blueblood was dragged away by some of the guards.
I turned around to see all the girls and the princesses shocked at what all I said.
“Wow I didn’t think you had that in you.” Rainbow said impressed and Celestia turned to Applejack.
“I am so sorry I didn’t know you were going through hard time because of me.” She said regrettingly.
“It fine princess as long as you can fix it it is fine.” Applejack said with tip of the hat
Then Celestia looked at me.
“And now it is time for me to leave so I can plan for the gathering in the square tomorrow.” She said.
“Why Princess?” Twilight asked her.
“First to announce that there is nothing to worry about and we have everything handled and two to announce the first knight of equestria in a thousand years.” She said and they looked around.
“And who is this knight?” Rainbow asked and Celestia gestured to me and said.
“Noah if it weren't for him they may have succeeded in their attack.” She said and they all got excited especially Applejack and Pinkie Pie.
“You will stay the night and will head home after the announcement and ceremony.” Luna said and they lead us to our rooms and we went to bed.
