My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Starlight, Starbright

Chapter 29

Blast from the Past

The gang ran out to see the ground below the village had split open by a violent earthquake. “How the heck did that happen?” Pound exclaimed. “This place isn’t know for earthquakes.

The loud roar from before echoed, splitting into more split, menacing howls. “What was that?” Pumpkin asked in worry.

Chaos recognized the howls, As did Starlight. Near death experiences tend to do that. “Timberwolves.” he said.

True enough, a Timberwolf climbed over a building and roared at them. Starlight went wide-eyed and gasped in fear. This one had a scar over it’s right eye, in exactly the same spot and in the same shape. This was the same one that attacked her when she was 4.

“You okay, Star?” Bass asked. “You look like you saw a ghost.”

“She probably did.” Chaos commented. A loud and painful yell from Erys reached them, making some cover their ears. This is just a crummy situation; Goldie’s crippled on the verge of dying and being taken over by a sliver of Nightmare Moon, Erys is having a bad case of split personality with her old Draconequus self trying to get out, and they got Timberwolves. Crap.

More Timberwolves climbed over the buildings and snarled at them. Glade spread his wings and powered his magic.

One of the Timberwolves howled, then the pack charged at them. Shadows spread on all it’s claws, making Chaos nervous. One of the wolves lunged at Starlight, who was still in shock seeing that what threatened her as a filly was still alive. The entire pack was blasted back by Chaos, crashing into one of the huts and turning into pieces.

“Focus!” he yelled to the stunned mare. She heard him and shook her head. Chaos returned his attention to the wolves, who were starting to glow green and black and hover up from the ground. They used shadows. Did his master give his powers to them? Is he that desperate?

The timbers and logs moved to one spot and start to connect. “OH, that cannot be good.” Golden Day gulped.

“oh, Mom told me that enough of them were ‘destroyed’, they can combine into one single large Timberwolf.” Peppy said.

True enough, that’s what the wolves were doing. The logs and timbers combined into one large frame.

“Well, shit.” Bass said.

Sombra watched the event on his screens with a evil smile. “This is going better then I expected.” he used his magic to summon up 7 tubes, each one filled with a living being, or what will be mindless living beings. “and when you’re all created, my compatriots will thank me for thinking of a way to take out those pitiful humans. Heh heh heh heh heh.”

He got up and went away, leaving the tubes to do their work. Names are printed on the top of each of the tubes. The first one read ‘Re-Clone.’ the tube next to it said ‘Au-Clone.’, then ‘Ba-Clone.’, ‘So-Clone.’, ‘Ja-Clone.’, ‘As-Clone.’, and ‘Sa-Clone.’ give you 7 guesses what each one is about.

“Still…” shadows swirled around Sombra to where only his red eyes could be see. “Better throw my hat into the ring.”

Combined magic blasts from all the magic users in the group sent the forming from of a large Timberwolf down over the side and to the ground below. It crashed into cliffs as it and the hovering pieces of timber fell.

Cotton wiped her head and panted. She was never a powerful magic user. “That do it?” she asked.

The ground shook, followed by a loud roar, giving them all their answer. “that answers that question.” Soarin’ said with a mutter.

Born to Survive - Last Ranker OST.

A single large paw extended up from below and crashed down onto one of the huts. Another came up and crashed into the ground. A LARGE Timberwolf head extended up from below. It turned it’s head down to them and roared. The gust of wind it generated sent several members of their group flying backwards.

“This is going to be a problem!” Glade exclaimed.

“You think?” Chaos remarked.

Starlight backed up out of fear of both the giant monster and her fear to Timberwolves in general. Ever since that incident when she was a filly, she was scared stiff of Timberwolves.

Chaos looked the monster over, trying to find a weakness, when he noticed something. There were 10 wolves in the pack, yet only 9 were used in this monstrosities construction. Where’s the 10th?

Well, the leader wasn’t far. It slowly snuck up on the group though the shadow, baring it’s teeth. It had one target in mind and his pack were going to provide a perfect distraction. “… Star… Light…” it gutturally growled.

The massive Timberwolf roared again at them, trying to intimidate them. It worked on some of the mares but the rest were keen on trying to fight this thing. “We’re gonna die, aren’t we?” Season asked.

For once, Season sounded like he made sense. “Yep. We’re gonna die.” Soarin’ replied.

Starlight wanted nothing to do with this. She thought them all dead, but to have them back… It’s too much for her already fragile psych to bare. She turned to run back to the tent where Erys and Pound were when she was suddenly pounced by the pack leader. The mare yelped as the 2 fell over the side and down the cliff.

Bass said this and ran to the edge to try and futilely fail to catch her. “STARLIGHT!” he yelled.

“Bass, look out!” Windancer yelled. Bass looked and quickly jumped back from the larger one’s falling paw. It struck where he was, sending rocks falling. The large one got in his face and roared. The force sent him rolling back, crashing into Marian. The wolf snarled and roared into the sky, baring it’s claws.

Starlight and the Timberwolf pack leader bounced and fell down the cliff under the village, landing hard on the snow 45 feet below.

“AGH!” the mare yellow, feeling a few broken bones in her left wing. The pack leader, being made of wood, got up and charged at the Alicorn. It got to her before she could notice, pinning her to the ground.

The large Timberwolf roared and swiped it’s right claws at them. The group dodged it. One of the claws cut though the tent, leaving a big rip in it.

Pumpkin, fearing her brother got hit, powered up her magic and fired into the monster’s eye. It didn’t hit the eye but the flare from it did leave it temporarily blinded. It roared in agony as it swat at air, hoping one of it’s swipes would hit someone.

One such swipe dug though the rock and snow, sending mountains of rubble towards them. Glade and his guards quickly summoned up a barrier that blocked the rock and snow, but not the force. The gust and earthquake caused by it caused the unicorns and earth ponies to fall down.

Chaos flew over the bubble, powered up his magic, and blasted a beam to the monsters eyes. It hit the right, piercing and destroying it. The Timberwolf roared in pain as it’s eye gushed out… whatever it is eyes have inside them.

“HA! How do you like that!?” Chaos proudly exclaimed.

The wolf closed it’s left eye and snarled angrily.

“I don’t think he likes that very much.” Sweet Song commented. “In fact, I think he wants revenge.”

The powerful force of nature does and opened it’s mouth wide. He lunged forward and bit down on Chaos, or rather where Chaos was. The Dark Alicorn had teleported behind the monster, his horn glowing at the tip. Time to become a monster hunter.

The pack leader lowered it’s head down at the whimpering Starlight. She was powerless and couldn’t move. The wolf snarled, baring it’s teeth with a evil growl.

“No… not like this…” Starlight whimpered.

The wolf pulled it’s head back, still snarling like the evil force he is. It aimed for her jugular and lowered it’s head onto her neck. The mare closed her eyes, fearing the end.

In the nick of time, Bass slammed into the wolf, forcing it off of her and sending the two of them rolling in the snow. The wolf was the first to get up. It turned it’s attention to Bass and lunged at him.

Bass saw him, quickly ducked, then bucked the wolf in the chest, sending it skyward. Bass rolled back, got up, jumped, and kicked the wolf again, this time in the face.

The wolf spiraled in mid-air thanks to the kick and fell into a snow drift. Bass ran over to Starlight, who had just opened her eyes.

“Thank goodness. You’re all right.” Bass panted as he ran over.

“Bass…” she got up and hugged him. “Thank you.”

The moment was short-lived as the leader burst out of the snow drift and rammed into Bass. The two fell again into the snow, this time the Pack leader was on top and lunged his head at Bass’s throat.

“NO!” Starlight yelled. She wasn’t going to let him die, not after he just gave her a kiss. Her Cutie Mark began to glow.

The large Timberwolf roared and swung it’s tail down right on top of them. A well-placed magic shot from Season sent the tail falling into a frozen stream. The wolf moved it’s head and snapped it’s jaws down on Season.

“NO!” Golden Day and Filigree yelled.

Glade and Chaos launched a joint attack, spiraling into the monster’s stomach. They hit, sending spasms of pain throughout the beasty. It opened it’s mouth and threw up Season, along with it’s lunch.

“Ew.” Fire Ruby said from a safe hiding spot.

“That was disgusting.” Screw Loose added.

The Timberwolf snarled in anger then roared at them.

A bright light imminated from the ground below, getting the wolf’s attention and causing him and the group to cover their eyes.

A glow came from behind, cutting the attack short and causing Bass and the Wolf to look.

Starlight hovered above the ground, her rear-legs crossed and her fore-legs and wings stretched out. Her eyes and Cutie Mark glowed. A glyph reminiscing of a clock face appeared beneath her, stretching out to cover both wolves.

The arms on the clock began to move backwards, which is scaring Bass quite a bit. The spinning increased in speed, up unto the point it was a big blur.

Streams of light shot out of it and into the air. The steams came back down and struck the large wolf. It roared in pain as it compressed in size to the size of a normal wolf.

The clock face flashed, as did Starlight. She flapped her wings once, which was more then enough. A portal opened up behind what was once the large Timberwolf and sucked it in.

The pack leader snarled but knew it’s chances were limited. It turned and ran as far as it could. The clock face flashed again, this time sending out a shockwave that struck the wolf, breaking it apart.

9 separate Timberwolves fell and landed on the ground, each the size of a pup. .knowing they had no shot at this, the Timberwolves ran away.

End Song.

The clock face and the glow went away. Starlight slowly descended to the ground. Upon landing, she instantly blacked out and fell.

Images flashed though her mind, images of war, destruction, and despair, none of them involving her world and humans that don’t look like what her parents told her. One was even a different species, with a dragon face. She recognized one of them; a girl with Silver-Blue hair.

Once the images passed, she opened her eyes with a groan. “Ah.” she held her head in pain. “Ow.”

“Starlight!” Bass ran over to her and helped her up. “Are you okay?”

Starlight groaned and shook her head. “Ah. Y-yeah. Just… just blacked out for a second.”

Bass breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness. I just got a marefriend; don’t want her to die in the same hour.” Starlight weakly chuckled. Yeah… his marefriend. Finally. 17 years of striking out are finally paying off. “So where did you send that… thing?” he asked, referencing to the giant Timberwolf.

Starlight wondered that herself. She had little to no control over her powers at that time so anything could’ve happened to it.

The Timberwolf Starlight sent into the portal opened it’s eyes. Not sure what that mare did to it but it was going to get back at her, even if it takes forever.

It heard the sound of a twinkling stream nearby. Parched from thirst, it got up and headed over to it. It looked around, noticing similarities in the area. Before it grabbed a drink, it stopped and saw what that dark alicorn did to him. It had left a very noticeable scar over it’s right eye. He also can’t see out of it anymore. It then realized it can’t split back into it’s other 9 wolf’s anymore. Damn that mare.

It heard a loud noise and looked up. A large pink portal opened up and a ship flew out of it. Humans… it pieced the puzzle together. That mare sent him back in time. If memory serves, a Timberwolf with a scar approached their old one and took over by killing their leader. It looked back down into the stream. Was it that same wolf?

Another loud boom followed, this one belonging to a dragon of fearsome size. It slammed into the ship, causing it to tilt. It reached in and tore out a large metallic spear 30 feet in length. Once it had that, it pushed off and flew away.

He was sent to the past. That mare knows time magic. No wonder Sombra wants her. If memory serves, that mare Twilight, who would be pregnant with Starlight by the time she and Halo discovers those ruins in Everfree. A perfect opportunity to kill that sniveling mare before she’s even born.

But first, he needs a pack.

“That is a good question.” Starlight muttered, wondering what could’ve happened to that Timberwolf. She shrugged. “Guess we’ll never know.”

“guess so.”

Nemesis - Fire Emblem Awakening OST

Suddenly, a pillar of dark fire broke thought the ice and up into the air in front of the village. A pair of large red eyes appeared in the fire, which then turned to smoke.

“MWAHAHAHAHAHA!”

All the mares and stallions gulped and backed away in fear. All except Chaos. He stared the monster down with deep seeded anger. “You!”

The monster of smoke and fire stopped it’s mad laughter and looked down at him. “Chaos Gun…” Sombra said, disguising his voice so nobody would recognize it in the future. “how nice for us to meet again? You know, those tubes don’t come cheap.”

“SHUT UP!” Chaos yelled, powering up his magic. “I never asked to be born!”

“And yet, here you are. Funny how life works, don’t you think?”

“Are you the one who made him?” Bass asked, he and Starlight returning to the others just as the fire monster appeared. “Chaos Gun said he was created and you two seem to know each other.”

“Quite perceptive, aren’t you Bass? Yes, it was I who created him, though I didn’t expect a number of things to happen.”

“like him falling in love?” Starlight asked.

Sombra’s eyes moved to look at her. She felt as if it stared though her soul. But it also… felt familiar. “Ah… Starlight Sparkle… the daughter of Twilight Sparkle, the Element of Magic. And… the daughter of…” he stopped there, waiting for Starlight’s response.

“the daughter of who?” she asked, determined to figure out what he’s talking about. “WHO!?”

“Sorry. But I’m not at liberty to divulge… sensitive information. But I do have some use for you. A very important use for you.” Bass snarled like a demon, determined to kill him if possible.

Chaos snarled the same way. He spread his wings and shot up to Sombra. He spiraled around, trying to corkscrew his way though his heart. He missed the body by the mile, not taking into account that Sombra probably wouldn’t have dissolved completely into the monster.

A wisp of smoke shot out of it and tangled itself around Chaos’ entire body. It pulled him back and slammed him into the ground. It lifted him back up and slammed him into the ground multiple times. The first slammed cracked the crystal around his neck while the following slams furthered the cracks.

“Chaos!” Sweet Song yelled.

Sombra took notice of the yell and looked down at her. “Is this… Hahaha. It is. This thing is what caused this whole mess.” Sombra pulled Chaos close to the smoke and fire. “This is the dumb mare who you fell in love with, isn’t it?” he used the smoke to force Chaos’ eyes open and have him look down at her. Sweet Song was stunned to hear that. She was the one he’s in love with? Her? Both she and Chaos couldn’t look at each other. “ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! How positively revolting!” Sombra commented.

“Why… why didn’t you tell me?” a shaken Sweet Song asked. Chaos didn’t answer, hoping she would know at heart. She did. It would’ve been difficult just to even say it.

The smoke constricted around Chaos, making it hard to breath. It also made the crystal crack even further. Chaos felt his sense of self slip away. “Time for little traitors to die!”

The smoke cloud spun around, sending the crippled Chaos Gun into the mountain side. A orb of red light appeared below the eyes and grew in intensity. The beam then fired out towards Chaos Gun, who barely had time to notice and move.

The beam hit and dug in there, Chaos Gun yelled in pain as he seemed to disintegrate. The crystal cracked completely and shattered.

All that remains now is a large crater in the side of the mountain. Everyone was mortified that this thing killed his own creation, Sweet Song even more so. Glade turned his attention to the monster and powered up his magic. “You’re going to pay for that, you creep!” he snarled. He fired a beam up at the smoke monster. It passed right though, not doing any damage at all.

“nice try, Glade. Nice try.” Sombra chuckled. He returned his attention to Starlight, who looked up at him with a mix of fear and anger. “And we will meet again, Starlight. Mark my words. We will meet again.”

The smoke disintegrated into nothingness and was swept away by the wind.

End Song.
