Chapter 2: Chapter Two
Previous Chapter Next ChapterShadowstep took one last look around the tent before leaving. He saw Princess Celestia had walked away from the table and walked over to another person. She had light blue hair, wore a similar type of armor to her sister, Princess Celestia, and had a short sword at her hip, and sitting in a chair.
Shadowstep walked out of the tent. There was a crowd of people all surrounding the entrance to the tent.
“So when are we going to war?” one of them asked.
“We aren't. The only ones marching to the Royal Palace into the Everfree forest.” Shadowstep answered.
“But with everyone here won't there be a chance of ambush?” someone asked.
“Yea but as Elemental Lords me brother Lightblade will accompany the princess to fight Discord.” He replied.
Princess Celestia come out of the tent followed by Princess Luna and Lightblade. The entire army was on nerves end.
“My faithful soldiers I is my honor to have so many defending the right to live in peace and harmony but it is not your right to die for our fight. This fight is between the Alidores, Elemental Lords , and the Dragorns. So return to your homes and do not worry for by tonight this war will be over for better or for worse.” she said.
The crowd started to disperse and went into different camps and started to take them down and pack up. Some of the soldiers were muttering about how this wasn't right, how by making this choice the Princess have chosen a execution sentence. There was words of fear and hope circling around the camp. Shadowstep placed his hand on the axe on his belt and pondered what magic Princess Celestia had hidden up her sleeves. The only magic that could rival Discord's Chaos magic was the Princess's Elements of Harmony. However they haven't been able to unleash the full power yet and without the full power they would lose a duel with Discord. However if Lightblade and Shadowstep could empower the elements they might stand a chance.
“Well Shadowstep today the war will be over. I know it has been hard on you, your brother, and Bladebreaker.” Princess Celestia come up behind him and said.
“We're the last of the Elemental Lord's. This war has decimated the Alidores and Elemental Lord's. There is no turning back. We been together since the start. Only fitting that if we die we die together” Shadowstep said coldly.
“Once this war is over you are welcomed to stay in Canterlot. There will be a position on the Lunar Guard for you once this is over.” Celestia responded in a warming tone.
“Thank you Princess but I think I have seen enough bloodshed for one a longtime after this war.” Shadowstep said.
“It is time.” Celestia said.
Shadowstep took the helmet from underneath his arm and placed it on his head. There was a crack of thunder and he looked to the sky just in time to see a bolt of lightning strike him.
Shadowstep fell backwards off his chair and slammed his head on the hard stone floor. A dream shadowstep thought to himself. He dusted himself off and looked at his clothes. He wore a task force uniform, a short sleeved shirt that instead of a crescent moon on the heart it bore a full moon starting that he was commander of a task force, olive green cargo pants, and black military boots. He looked around to see if anyone saw him fall. The room was a standard Guard office in Manehatten. Only one other person was in the room and that was Bladebreaker, Shadowstep's right hand man. He was dressed in the basic Lunar Guard outfit, a basic blue short sleeved shirt with a crescent moon on the heart of the shirt, black and blue camo pants with pockets on the legs, and black military boots.
“Fell asleep again didn't ya?” Bladebreaker asked.
“Not only that but I had the same dream” Shadowstep replied as he cracked his knuckles.
“The one where your fighting against Discord or the one in the camp?” he asked as he pulled out a knife from his desk and threw it at the wall.
“The camp dream.” Shadowstep answered as he picked the chair up off the ground. He set the chair back up right and sat back in it. Bladebreaker got up and pulled the knife out of the wall.
“How much longer do we have to wait?” He asked.
“Congo said he would be here by 1pm.” Shadowstep answered. He looked at the clock, it was already 12:50pm. He knew Congo since he was a kid. Hell Congo taught him almost everything he knew now, how to fight, how to steal, and how to kill. Congo picked up Shadowstep when he was an orphan abandoned by his father when he fled the city with his younger brother Lightblade, after the city officials began to use their power for themselves. They arrested anyone who defied their command and took the money that was meant for the betterment of the city. They didn't care who got hurt and when anyone went to try to get help they ended up in the city square, broken and with a warning. Congo found Shadowstep stealing from the trash and taught him the tricks of the trade. Soon even the gang lords started to fight each other for what little profit that could be made. It was Congo who was the first one to stand up to the corrupted politicians. He started having his gang steal priceless artifacts from the rich and hiding them all over the city. Soon he started calling the gang the Diamond Dongs. He was only 15 when he took control of the gangs and used them for the peoples betterment. He even helped take the city from the corrupted politicians. He even sent word to Princess Celestia and Luna when the city was retaken. Princess Celestia and Luna personally came to Manehatten to over see the changing of control of the city. Congo when underground at that point but Princess Luna had noticed that Shadowstep had a type of magic that hasn't been seen for ages. It was at that point that Princess Luna took Shadowstep from Manehatten and placed him into the Royal Academy.
Five years later Shadowstep was placed in a special task force. The Magic Hunter Task Force was a force that hunted down dangerous objects that held great magics capable of destroying cities. He found out once he returned that Congo ran the entire underground trade at Manehatten. He came back in contact with Congo and promised immunity from the law for assistance with hunting of the dangerous artifacts.
He heard the door of the office open and a voice say “Its been awhile Shadowstep.”
“That it has Congo” Shadowstep said.
