Chapter 74: Spa day off: season finale tireks rampage part 1
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIn life, war is a harsh decision for all to face. It’s even more dangerous when the war is right outside our own home.
*miles off unknown location*
Far off mile away, darkness looms around as only the sunlight from a dim light hole in the roof shines down. Underneath the light, one figure sat idling by. Centuries have passed by and still the world is like how it was... disgusting yet so full of... delicious magic.
“Pay attention you all,” the figure said in a raspy voice full of hunger as his cloak hid his face. Before him, in this small dark room were his six dependable subordinates, wearing cloaks that matched that of their superior. Even with their hoods on, each of the figures’ eyes glowed from within the darkness around, some bared their teeth while smirking as they stare down at the cloak figure.
“We’ve had just about enough of Grogar taking his sweet time obsessing over a single monkey while keeping us locked away in Tartarus for so many years...” he went on. “The humiliation of being underestimated has tortured us long enough...!”
The glowing eyes shone even brighter as the cloaked individuals listened to their lord. None of them dared to talk over him, as nothing mattered more to them than their lord’s ambition.
“We swore fealty to him by choice, but if he’s willing to disregard our power so easily and lock us away like animals... we’ll regain his attention by force when we use Equestria’s power to strip him of his own...”
Most of his subordinates started cheering, but one didn’t because of what concerned him. “My lord... what about those who in strange armor. Can we use them to our advantage” the subordinate asks more concern as despite their magic being primitive their weaponry isn’t like they have ever seen.
The cloak figure sighs deeply as his subordinate is right. While their magic is there to be taken, however , they are not like him or his subordinate. When this is over only one rule will take over. It’s only a matter of the time. “Don’t worry i have them under our control before then be patient”
As they sit around waiting for the moment in the shadows another figure sits back as he smirks. “That's what they think….. Commence attack level alpha” the figure smiles.
*your POV*
You let Celestia’s sun do its job in forcing your heavy eyes open. While it’s been a few months, you still had to get used to having a new resident in your home after the whole Japony situation, namely Misty Hour, who was already making plans to build her new inn. The location has already been picked out and, of course, you knew what material you would need to build the inn and make it feel like home to Misty.
Taking your time down memory lane, you smiled, thinking back to this year’s Nightmare Night. How adorable Sunny Peach looked in her pumpkin costume, wondering what was going on. You were sure she would flash that same blank look for this year’s Hearth’s Warming Eve.
Now that you were starting to wake up, you found it weird to realize that your face wasn’t enveloped in either Celestia or Luna’s bust. Usually, they were here to tell you good morning, followed by an early quickie. But this morning you weren’t woken up by a flirtatious lover, but... by something landing right on your stomach. Actually, someone.
“DADDY WAKE UP!” Night had stormed into your room to crash land right on top of your stomach. You cringed, having long come to terms that your firstborn wasn’t a baby anymore. If it was of any comfort, she at least wasn’t Nightmare Moon — you remembered that the demon owed you some cracked ribs the last time she dogpiled you.
“Come on Daddy, wake up!” Night shouted again as you finally sat up. You rubbed your eyes and groaned, figuring this wasn’t going to be the last time your daughter would break into your room. Nonetheless, you reached over to mess with your pride and joy’s hair.
“Morning Night... Are your siblings awake too?” you asked wondering what time it is. Since it was your day off you saw fit to exploit it to spend time with your little ones with a trip through town.
You didn’t need a verbal answer, as soon enough, Sonic, Chocolate Cake, Serenity, Solar Ray, and Zodiac climbed onto your bed as well.
“Daddy don’t forget your promise…” Sonic pouted.
You smiled as you had not forgotten your promise. “Lil ones, Daddy hasn’t forgotten his promise. He just lost track of time.” you stood up on your bed as night gets off yoru stomach. “Give daddy a chance to bathe and i’ll take you all to the park.”
Your little ones all cheered as cherry comes in. “hello…. Everyone breakfast is ready come get some pancakes before you head off”
“PANCAKES!” all your foals cheered as cherry grabbed the sun twins and they all headed out to get some pancakes. You thank her as you stood up and over. You carefully move your feet over as hehwuti who loves to sleep beside you wakes up and pants happily.
“Hey honey. Had a good sleep?” You petted her head, getting a happy bark. You told her to go and get some breakfast, as you had to take a shower before you joined in. She understood the command and obeyed after you heard her stomach start to growl.
You smiled as you stood up and popped a few joints before retreating to the bathroom.
Few miles in the everfree forest several trees moved as a few critters scury away in fear. Deep in the forest several large trucks move through the forest as they parked just inches from the town. They await within the shadows for the orders to move in.
*your pov*
After finishing your shower and putting on some clean clothes you headed down to grab some breakfast. But something was off. For most part only a few ponies were around such as trixie, amira and of course your little ones.
You do asked maidenline on where the mane 6 and the princesses are which she informed you they had to leave to canterlot for some business. Hearing that you do wonder what is going on as technically you are their husband…… and you dislike being kept out of the loop if something is wrong.
"Why didn't they tell me?" You asked however maidenline only shrugs as that only cause you to grow more worry on what's happening today.
Maidenline didn't like to keep you in the dark but even she hadn't been fully informed of why they were summoned.
Your worry grew so much hehwuti walks behind you and taps your back. The lil pups all circle around as they tried to comfort you by tugging on your pants or pawing on your legs.
You break out of your worry and playfully pet the lil pups. Moony your eldest lil puppy playfully nibbles your hand as you use the other hand to pet their mothers head.
"Don't worry little ones. Let's eat up and we'll go to the park" you announce as you had not forgotten your promise.
Your little ones all cheered as even the pups and their mother bounce happily. Guess they really like the park. They eat their breakfast as you joined them despite almost everyone was is gone you at least can enjoy the day with your family. Still you still have a unnerve feeling in your gut as you tried to stomach some of the pancakes cherry has made.
Once you calm down and enjoy your breakfast you stopped as misty joins in. she smiles as she wore her favorite kimono. Cherry walks beside as misty takes a seat beside you and sets a plate of fresh pancakes for her.
She thanks her as you asked how mistys day coming along.
Misty smiles. “Oh it’s been splendid. The constructors approved on the plans and have found the perfect location right facing the mountain side.” she smiles as she digs into her plate. You smile as you were glad everything is settle.
“Well i’m glad you got everything settle. Let me know when you ne-” you were quickly interrupted as without warning misty brings your head close. Smushing it right on her breasts she makes sure you were engulf in how soft her fur is. Like feeling two soft feathery pillows you blushed as misty holds your head and smiles.
“Oh honey you given to much to me. But I can handle a bit of paper work from here.” she hugs you tighter as she lets you go. Your face already turning red as misty giggles. Once you regain your color back to your face you both resume eating your breakfast. While you do offer her some forks to eat her pancakes you can see her sticking to her prefer ways. Using some chopsticks you had bought for her she makes use of them as you all finished your plate of pancakes.
Misty does stop as she looks at you. “I do hope you won’t mind but i asked some of my relatives to send us some pieces of home. It will take some time but I hope this would give our new customers a chance to see what's life like in a different part of the world."
You smile. “No worries let me deal with the payment shipment in bringing in what you need for your inn” you offer as you want to make sure her inn gets what they need to feel like home away from home. She thanks you again as she leans in and kisses your cheek.
Your foals being so young all stick out their tongues in disgust.
“Eeeewwwwww cooties” sonic gag as you give your foals a flat stare.
‘Yeah should have expected this but i’m not looking forward to them wanting to start dating when they are older.’ you grumble a bit.
After you finished breakfast and helped Cherry clean up, you and the foals made sure the puppies were leashed... Well except 1 as night prefers to run beside moony. Misty still had some work needed to be done so you and the foals went to the park with the pups and their mother.
*meanwhile in Canterlot*
In canterlot Twilight and her friends had just learned of what Celestia, Luna and Cadence had in store. She is shocked beyond words by what it is they asked of her.
“Are you... Are you serious?”
Celestia lowered her head. “Yes my dear Twilight... I'm afraid this is the only way as of right now...”
*back to you at the park*
Arriving at the park was easy as it wasn’t more than a five to ten minute walk from the mansion and Hehwuti helped by carrying some of your foals easily on her back. Night, however, was fully capable of walking.
"Alright everyone. Stay in the playground area okay. Don't wonder off" you announce your foals as they agreed.
You stayed in position as you watched your foals have fun. For the twins and Zodiac, you remained close as they were still too young to climb over the playground castle and you weren’t going to let them try.
As you had your share of fun with your foals, miles in a few houses, several figures all began to gear up. With body armor and weapons all cocked and ready, their leader only takes a deep breath before putting on his mask.
*Few minutes pass*
It was no good to just sit on a bench and watch your little ones play it safe. You were inspired by a few licks to get off your butt and throw a ball for Hehwuti and her pups to chase after. First come first served. However you learned quite well why these wolves are such a powerful race. Even though you tossed a ball, one of the pups brought in something else.
Not sure why but their were some concrete decorations around and without warning from a birdbath had a few round concrete balls surrounded it. In instant one of the pups pulls it out and brings it to you.
‘I’m afraid to even ask...’ you thought. The lil pup, which you decided to call ‘Hercules’, gave you a happy bark.
After giving the pups some exercise, you then gave give hehwuti a chance to have some fun. Grabbing a large stick you later find out the mother is way more powerful as of her pups.
Instead of getting a stick... Hehwuti came back with an entire tree. ‘F@#K! SHE’S GOT A STRONG JAW!’ You were awe dropped as your foals all stare in amazement at how strong she is. She lets out a loud howl
Night began clapping, as did Sonic and Chocolate Cake.
Slapping back to reality you sighed a bit as you thought why not see how fast she is. You figured a dash to and back wouldn’t hurt as you do need the exercise.
“He hehwuti want to have a race” you asked getting another bark. She had accepted your challenge.
Night and her siblings got another show as you got down on all fours and slowly transform. Though going full werewolf is a bit much you decide to change your legs. Making them bipedal your eyes and ears changed as you awaited for the run. Your eldest foal counts down as you and hehwuti waited for her signal.
“READY, SET, GO!!!!” she screams out
Instantly you and hehwuti took off. Running normal is easy however the moment your werewolf form takes over running on all forms you can see why and how easy for dogs to run this way. It’s stil difficult for you as you rarely use this form to run in such speed but….. You are opt to learning new ways.
The race only lasts a few seconds but surprisingly hehwuti wins easily as you congratulate her. She gives you a few playful licks on the face as you let her rest a bit. Her cubs sat beside her as the rest of your foals take a break beside hehwuti.
You take a break on a bench as return back to normal.
“So i see your werewolf abilities are more tamed then before master assassin” a familiar voice echoes from behind.
Turning back you smile as your mentor antique stands behind you. Taking a seat beside you he watches your foals all playfully pet the puppies as he smiles at how peaceful they look.
“They look to be having fun,” Antique smiled, and you were inclined to agree.
You frowned, however, and let out a small sigh, as Antique usually only came out of the clan if he was searching for you and before you had left you had sent a feather to antique. You awaited for any news whether good or bad. You didn’t expected it to be so fast however your assassins are good….. Real good.
“I’m afraid i have some grim news master assassin” he starts trying to keep it low. He did not want to draw attention as you figured he would have some.
You listen as your assassins have found out from canterlot that the princesses had summon the mane 6 for some grave news. A creature named Tirek had escaped Tartarus and was still at large. You weren’t an expert on him, but the ancient texts from the royal archives said he was a fierce warlord that was tasked with absorbing all of Equestrian magic to take over the land.
Leading a small group of warriors, he was a fearsome and heartless creature that was disowned and cast off by his own kind after he tried to steal equestria magic. He even went behind his families back by going to war. It was later on his brother who begged the princesses for a lesser punishment however it was later on him spending centuries in Tartarus.
Other texts that were discovered said that a few years the homeland of the centaurs which name has been long forgotten from the world. The race of centaurs was destroyed as only a few live in this world. Reasons are unknown but some speculate the reason is grogar had taken this race to tarturas as many had worshiped him. Those who didn’t were the lucky ones.
You remember grandmaster yama and bloodshot are the only centaurs you’ve seen so far. If tirek was the one who wished to start a war with equestria you figure he must be way worst then bloodshot.
“There’s more” antique sighs a bit.
You listen as antique has word that some of his hawks spotted some movement coming from the forests. Normally its not much as wild animals roam the forests however the hawks sense something much larger is being moved through. They even spotted something else moving around however they can’t tell what as they only sit there waiting. For what your not sure as one of the assassins had said sense some strange power coming from within the forest.
You had a sinking feeling in the pit of your gut as to what was going on in the Everfree. You could feel something coming and you feared for the worst.
“We need to act fast. If something is reported in the forest, then our best way is to evaluate the citizens. But we have to do so without causing panic” you stated as you know the safety of the citizens comes first.
Antique agrees as he too feels something is coming and they need to act fast.
You pondered a bit before an idea came to mind. You remembered that the old castle that was once Tia and Luna’s home was only a few minutes away and with the help of the guards, you could get the citizens to use it as a safe haven. You’ve used it before during the heat season, and even though this idea would mean your shelter would be exposed, you were willing to make the sacrifice since you placed your ponies’ safety before your own.
You told Antique about the old castle. While it’s had its share of centuries, it was still stable enough to house the citizens. You knew that the pegasi could cover the top areas and the earth ponies could help move some of the debris out of the way. As for the unicorns, they could protect the outside from predators and assist the earth ponies with the debris if necessary. While the castle already had some safety measures, you know that with the help of the other races it would become a better hiding spot.
Antique agrees as he can start having some of the assassin move in and fortified it when given the orders.
You agreed as you look back at your children. So young and so innocent you don’t want to feel any fear as their safety too is your main priority along with your lovers. Though being in canterlot you will go find them once you get the town to a safe zone.
“Antique….. I want you to take my foals to the clan house. Please” you asked as antique smiles.
“Do not worry. I’ll get your little ones to safety. But how do you wish to put our plan to motion?” he asked, desiring something more of an order than a suggestion.
Thinking hard you first priority is to convince the citizens to leave their homes and come with to a safe location. You know some won’t but you suggested they take shelter then. Whether in basements or cellars as most of the older homes have a cellar or basement. Or at least take shelter in a fortified area.
While this would cause some panic you want your citizens to know you will have everything under control till the smoke clears. Trust is major in growing a community and you want to show those who chosen to live here in harmony know you will protect them at all cost.
You begin to instruct antique in having some of your assassin convince some of the folks around to move to the castle. Although not necessary you want some to refrain from using mind control spells as you don’t want to cause they to fear more then what the situation is going.
Antique understands and is ahppy at your response. While it’s dangerous to use mind contorl spells he was glad you would refrain from using it. Like you said before trust is a must to gain confidence from the citizens.
While you think of more plans as well as to what they need to make the safe journey to the castle you both stopped as you hear a familiar voice.
“DADDY LOOK!” you heard the echo of a cheerful voice. It easily broke you out of your thoughts as you turned around.
You didn’t notice until now that your foals, along with Hehwuti and her pups, were staring at one of the trees a few inches from where you sat. Looking up, you can see your eldest foal on top of the largest branch on the tallest tree.
“Look Daddy! I made it without fl-” Night started dancing on top of the branch, but losing her grip, she didn’t react fast enough as she slipped and fell off.
You gasped in horror as your eldest foal falls right off the branch. You quickly race up as night hits a few of the branches down. You were too late as night hits the ground hard.
You race over as fast as you can hoping she was to hurt. Racing up you do stopped just an inch from your foal. Although she was in pain and she let out a small groan something else surprises you.
She doesn’t cry….. No wails or screams as she slowly gets up, only a few ows and ah’s escape her lips but no tears were shedding. Getting up from her spot you can see few scraps and scratches but she doesn’t react to them. In fact she only dusts off her clothes as she looks up at you.
Although her face had a few scratches she only gives a small smile on her face.
“I’m okay, Daddy... Sorry for messing up my dress,” she said in an ever so happy voice.
You smiled back as you got on your knees and picked up your beloved daughter. “It’s okay honey. Let daddy clean up those cuts and scrapes” you smile as you brought your daughter to the bench. Before you left you did brought your bag which had a few supplies in case of emergencies. You can never be careful as you apply some disinfect ointment and some bandages.
Antique, who was also shocked to see Night crash to the ground, could only smile as she recovered from such a horrible fall. ‘Like father like daughter,’ he said in his mind as you cleaned up Night’s wounds.
Meanwhile on a rocky terrain a lone unicorn in a white hoodie looks up in the sky. A dread feeling can be felt thorugh in the air as he can feel something is amust.
“Hmmmmm i can sense something brewing is going to happened.” he sighs a bit as he grabs his backpack and puts it behind. Once he is ready he figures he should get back home asap. After his adventures he was glad to see his home just a few miles off form the distance.
*few hours passed your pov*
Few hours passed after the meet up with antique and the lil incident with night. Thought your foal didn’t like the stinging feeling of the disinfectant she didn’t complain as you fixed her wounds. Once she’s finished you do let your foals now it’s time to head home.
Although they didn’t want to go home so soon you let them know you had a bit of work to do. They understand as you promise them to take them to the park again on your next day off.
After getting them home, you made haste to summon your guards and some of your assassins. That, of course, included Jade, who was always ready for your orders with a salute.
After giving your guards and your assassins (they were told in the shadows) on your orders they all head out as they commence your plans. Jade and sonic who you hadn’t seen in a while which he explains that he been busy from luna’s orders. You understand as you explain their duties is to protect your foals and the rest of the guests at the safe haven.
Although silo refuses help you did convince her to go with them for the time being.
Sonic and jade both bow in respect as just in time twilight returns home. She looks a bit wobbly as she staggers a bit but she manages to walk alright.
“Twilight you alright?” you asked as I looked to be struggling to walk today. You know you have fun with twilight but you didn't last night.
She staggers a bit but prompts up and smiles. “Yeah I'm alright, I just had some business to attend to in canterlot.” she walks a bit towards you.
She asks how you were as you told her you were busy today and asked what she was doing in canterlot.
“Oh nothing serious love just been gossiping with the princesses you know” she chuckles lamely but you didn’t buy it. She may be an alicorn princess but she still sucks at lying.
You grumble a bit as you are given some documents and begin to read them. Twilight who was finally able to walk stops to wonder what work you've been doing as today was your day off. “So uh what have you been doing? '' she asks, a bit timid as to what you were doing today.
You sigh a bit. “Oh nothing love. Had a good breakfast, took the foals to the park, oh and had my guards evacuate the citizens to a safe location…. The usual” you started with a smile.
“WAIT WHAT WAS THAT LAST ON!” twilight shouts in shock as to what you said.
You sighed as you looked at twilight. “Honey you know i hate being kept out of the loop if something dangerous is coming” you looked at twilight with annoyance in your eyes. Twilight doesn't look at your face as she turns her gaze away. Already she knew you would find something out as the princesses instructed to no tell a soul about what's going on.
You do explain that you have been making plans on evacuating the citizens and preventing them from rioting and panicking as you don’t want to make the situation any worse than it seems. Already the guards are going door to door and many citizens are agreeing while you deal with some of the blacklash already.
“Love as much as i’m trying to do what the princesses are doing you know i don’t like being kept on the loop. Please….. Tell me the truth” you asked, handing the documents to another guard.
Twilight takes a deep breath as she looks up at you. “I’m sorry…… we didn’t know how bad it was till….. We got the information from celestia.`` She takes a deep breath before she begins.
She ultimately explains everything she knows. Most of the information you already know from what the assassin spy your mentor had brought to but despite knowing most of the information you do learned that when cerberus had escaped and roamed ponyville a while back made the perfect opportunity for tirek to escape. How he did you don’t know he had thousands of years to plan his escape it was mostly luck on him executing it. You also learned he’s been busy as after escaping he’s been feeding off the magic from others no matter why type whether earth or unicorn pony he absorbs all but just a bit of magic. His victims were taken to hospital but tirek has been only getting stronger.
You sighed deeply as the situation sounds worse then most but twiight was finished.
“Whats more is….. Hes not alone”
*in Canterlot*
Celestia and Luna sat in their respective thrones while Cadence stood behind them. All three alicorns felt weak now that surrendered most of the godly magic that Tirek was trying to get into his disgusting mouth. They had to entrust it to none other than Twilight — no doubt she would safeguard it with her life.
A massive headache stabbed Celestia as she tried to adjust to the difficult conditions of her now weak body. Her size (and bust) played a huge role in the pain in her back. Luna and Cadence, too, felt weak, but not on the same level as the eldest alicorn. None of them said as they watched the doors, waiting for Tirek to finally arrive.
Like clockwork, they heard several steps from the other side before the throne doors were violently ripped open. Ripped from the hinges, a hulking beast clutched the doors in his horrible looking fingers before tossing them into the throne room. Celestia only glared at the intruder standing before her and her fellow alicorns.
He was bigger than a minotaur, but the cloak he wore did no favors in hiding how disgusting he was underneath. One look at the single eye glowing from underneath his hood and Celestia knew that their ‘guest’ was an ogre. She saw his drool land onto her polished castle floor and a foul odor traveled over to her nose. He was obviously obese, but in spite of his pot belly, he was strong enough to rip open those huge and heavy doors without a fuss.
“Time to eat...” he growled and threw his cloak in the air. The smell grew even worse now that his cloak was out of the way. He moved both arms in circles, making them pop as he loosened his joints.
Since Celestia and Luna were familiar with the chess hierarchy in Grogar’s army, they found it somewhat difficult to take the ogre seriously since he only had a rook earring — the dark lord only considered him a thug.
He had been moving his arms slowly, but his actions and obesity left them vulnerable when he surprised them by rushing over so quickly that he literally disappeared and reappeared behind the throne. Before either of the three could even take a whiff of his odor, he had already tackled Cadence into the wall and then grabbed Celestia and Luna by their horns.
“Me, Bane! One of six soldiers working for mighty Lord Tirek!” he proclaimed, speaking like at a kindergarten level as he held onto the sisters’ horns. They could feel it. The little magic they still had was slowly leaving their bodies through Bane’s filthy fingers.
“If that’s the case of you being one of his soldiers then your master is really scraping from the bottom of the barrel.” she struggles from the monster's strength.
“Y-YOUR MAJESTIES!” a single, brave unicorn soldier appeared in the throne room and observed the predicament. Loyal to the crown, he ran forward without hesitation, but Bane turned around and puffed out his cheeks. In an instant, a wide wave of acid was discharged from his mouth, dissolving the poor soldier into nothing.
“NO!” celestia shouts out as one of her subjects was turned into nothing but a pool of disgusting acid.
“Whoops” the creature laughed a bit. “Sorry about that. Bane has bad tummy problems” he laughs a bit.
Once the sisters went limp from the low supply of magic, Bane lifted them and threw them across the room. Both sisters can feel the force of their bodies hitting the walls with such force they almost lost the wind in their lungs. Celestia slowly regains her breathing as luna luckily still had some strength left.
“You BASTARD!” Luna snarled and since there was still some magic left, she fired a beam of cold magic, which Bane countered with another wave of acid. They canceled each other out with a little bit of steam.
Luna slumps to her knees but she manages to hold herself up.
“Bane tired of partners bullying him for being weakest. Bane will earn praise from Lord Tirek with each piece of magic sent to him!” he said, using his childish and dim-witted form of language again as he rubbed his fat belly.
Closing the distance with his incredible speed again, he picked Luna up by her horn and she screamed from the pain. “Me can break pretty princess’ horn if me wanted to, but Bane will wait until princess is empty.”
Luna was in shock at such speed this potbelly beast had that she didn’t react fast enough. She can feel her horn almost about to break as her magic was slowly begins to drain from her body. Luna lets out a loud scream of pain as celestia finally regains her senses. Looking over seeing her sister in pain memories of before how she ignored or own sisters aguish before her banishment filed her mind….. She refused to let that happen ever again.
A spark went off inside Celestia as her precious little sister continued screaming from having her magic forced out of her. With some incredible speed of her own she grabbed the ogre and slammed him like an old teddy bear several times.
“OW! PRETTY PONY HURT BANE!” bane shouts out as celestia throwns him around despite her magic limited she threw him around before tossing him against one of the throne room walls.
He got back up and cracked his neck. He was so sturdy. Was he really the level of a rook, or was she just weak from her low supply of magic? Either way, she pulled her fist back to strike him again, but Bane leaned down and caught it in her mouth. She was now the one screaming as the ogre applied pressure in his bite.
Luna was weak, but she still had a bit of strength left to stand up. Cadence, who managed to finally regain consciousness after being tackled into the wall watched and gasped as Bane bit harder into her aunt’s arm. Both of the alicorns wanted to help the oldest and most powerful of the three of them, however, Celestia didn’t need it... She got this bastard right where she wants him.
Managing to smile even with the pain of her arm almost about to break, she casted her next spell to ignite her free hand. Bane smirks as he was almost finished absorbing her magic unaware as celestias free hand was lighting up for a major strike dead center. Without warning Celestia manages to pull her hand out, not caring of feeling the bastard's teeth that were embedded into her hand. Without warning celestia brings her other hand under and over right below the ogres jaw.
Blood stained her pure white coat with what happened next. The filthy ogre’s head was literally punched right off of his shoulders. Celestia’s hand still glowed bright as the ogre’s head flies a few feet away before landing, staining the floor with it’s foul blood his body squirted out more as some anded on celestia’s mane and dress.
Tia collapses in exhaustion as the beast did a number on her and she was still weak. With so little magic left, Luna and Cadence joined her side as she resorted to tearing a piece of her favorite dress to cover the bite wound. Her sister wanted to praise her on her victory, but that’s when they heard clapping.
Turning around they found who was clapping. All three princesses glared as the figure sits on the eldest sisters throne.
“Tirek...” Celestia said the bastard’s name under her breath.
“That was quite a show, ladies,” he grinned. “I honestly didn’t think you’d be able to put Bane down in such a weakened state. No matter. He did his job.” reaching out he absorbs the magic the idiot had managed to absorb so far. Though it wasn’t as much, typical as he knew he wouldn’t be much use. He at least no longer had to bare that humiliating wrinkled form and sported an impressive bulk.
“This fool was the weakest of my six servants, just like you heard.” Walking over one of is hooves perches on top of the orge’s head. “Pathetic creature” putting some pressure the head breaks leaving a bloody mess from under tireks hoof.
“Now then... let’s finish what he started. I’m still hungry, after all.” His hand glowed and the three mares were lifted off the floor by their manes and forced over to the centaur.
Tirek smiles as he begins to absorb the last bit of magic they had left. Absorbing as much as possible he stops as something is wrong. The godly magic that the princesses have……. It’s not there.
Only a couple of sparks came out of their horns, and all three of them smiled.
He pulled on their manes harder, practically threatening to tear their scalps open. “Where is it?!”
Celestia doesn’t speak as Tirek tosses her onto the ground. “No matter, I still have plans for you all while I search for your magic.” using his new magic he conjures a special portal behind him. A small smile spreads on his face as he looks at the princesses.
“Have fun in the dark pits of Tartarus. It’s the last place you’ll ever see” tirek walks towards them about to toss them through the portal.
Just before Tirek could reach out he stops to hear glass shattering, followed by something metal hitting the floor. He turns his gaze to see something rolling in front of him. Looking at it closely it looked like a strange metal can. The top part looked like something he had never seen before. The can without warning began to disperse some smoke. Another smash sound echoed as another strange can landed just inches from the first one.
More smoke filled the atmosphere as Tirek began to cough. The princesses cough from the smoke as they feel something grabbing their arms. Being pulled away from smoke, tirek only manages to watch as right in front of them another portal appears as the princesses race through by something pulling them in.
Tirek made the move to grab them, but it was too late. If there was any weakness to this new and bulky form, it’s that it made him slow. Before he could react the princesses were gone and the portal disappeared.
Already enraged, Tirek could only let out a roar of anger as he lost the princesses. The rest of his subordinates appeared wondering why their master roared. They watch their leader seeth before he calms himself.
“No matter equestrian magic will be mine without those princesses' help” he fixes his hair as he begins to wonder where they store the magic.
As the smoke finally clears out he looks down at the two gas cans before he sees something else laying on the floor. He walks over as he uses his magic to pick up the strange white object on the floor from where the princesses were. Turning it around he found it to be a photo of some kind
It was a picture of them and the human Grogar was always talking about. He knows as Grogar has been raging on how the human is ruining his plans and taking out his lower ranks. Tirek knew that not many creatures could make the dark ram this angry as most of the time they are either serving him or dead but somehow this human is working on getting under grogars fur and skin.
An annoying tick he wants exterminated as the photo showed how close he is with them. Seeing he’s not around tirek can guess where the magic is stored.
*back in ponyville your pov*
“Sir please we really believe it’s of your best nature to come with us” you slowly tried to persuade as the elderly of the home you stopped by.
The elderly griffon smiles and only chuckles. While most of the citizens had listened to the guards, you did spend the time talking with a few citizens who refused to leave. Twilight along with her friends all joined in helping with the evacuation.
This citizen who joined ponyville a few years after you became the new king didn’t want to leave his home. Though you tried to persuade for his safety, he only smiled and patted your shoulder.
“Sonny, I thank you for doing a great job for every citizen but…… My time is coming and I know it’s coming. So I want to die with my lover in peace in our own home.” he looks back as his wife sleeps peacefully on her rocking chair.
You looked back to see his wife was sleeping, as you know you can’t move everyone. The old griffon smiles as he turns to you. “Don’t worry about us sonny. We’ll be just fine”
You bowed in respect as you do ask him to cover his doors and windows. He thanks you as he closes the door, you can hear him lock it as well as push something to the door. Before he closes the blinds he waves at you before closing the blinds.
Walking back you can see antique talking with a few assassins hoping to convince the rest. Back home you know that your home is another safe haven as you order jade and sonic to stay and protect your loved ones. Thanks to several powerful unicorn guards they shielded your home as that leaves to the other citizens to help out. Those who still refuse did listen in taking shelter in cellars and basements. Those who didn’t have one you had guards help them escort to stores or other homes that have one. A few did demand what is going on as you tell them you have little answers right now.
You do reassure you want to protect them, which they actually thank you. Some of them fought but you just don’t have all the answers.
Your head feels like a drum as already things are going wrong and you are just one man. While trying to keep the citizens safe and dealing with those who want answers you tried to calm yourself hoping to reason the situation. But it only makes matters worse as one of your guards who still have some energy left had given news on the predicament in canterlot.
You learned from one of the guards that a massive fight had taken place and all the princesses had disappeared. You also learned that your other lovers were all taken by someone you didn’t expect to turn. Eris the goddess of chaos and what you thought was a good friend had betrayed you all by siding with Tirek. Twilight you don’t know where she is now as you and her separated hoping to by some time.
You rubbed your temple as you tried to rationalize the situation. The guard can see the stress you’re obzibiting but he has no words to help.
“God I don't know how they do it but…… I'm already on edge right now.” you sighed deeply as you prayed to whatever god who’s listening for any help.
You took another deep breath and sighed hoping to calm your nerves and assess the situation. You took a few more deep breaths as you start to calm down. “Alright damage control and maintaining some sense of reason. Easy right.” you talked to yourself as you looked around the now empty streets.
“I just need to stay calm and think….. After all, what else can go wrong right now” you asked yourself.
Poor choice of words.
The moment you shrug you immediately were blinded as a blast of magic. You regain your senses as a large ball of magic orb grows bigger before it lands on the ground. Once it grows larger it dissipates in front of you.
You rubbed your eyes to see from within the orb you see someone kneeling down from where the crater the orb had caused.
The figure slowly stands up as you got a good look at who or what it was. The figure you can see is military as their armor looked nothing like what you’ve seen before a sheen light grey metal plate armor with combat boots. Most of the top down the boots was covered in unique armor as a large belt with a strange gem in the middle sat in the front. The head covered in a large shroud as a large metal mask covers it’s face. You can see behind both wings were metallic as the shown they been in battle as well much of the armor itself.
The figure you can guess to be female as the armor curved at the hips but you still wonder who or what it was.
The metal figure looks at you as you take a few steps back not liking the atmosphere as to what she’s giving off.
“Target located” she points out as her wings popped out.
‘Oh shit’ you gulped definitely not liking this one bit and quickly decide your fight or flight situation choice.
Instantly you took off flying away as the metal figure chases right after you. You used al your strength in your wings you passed by twilight who was looking for you. She stops to see you being chased by something as you ran off as fast as you can.
“WAIT UP!” twilight tries to take off after but she stops suddenly as tirek appears n front of you.
“Hello……. Sparkle” tirek smirks as twilight gasps as he stands in front of her. His subordinates all circle around with their hoods over their heds.
“I can sense their magic. The princesses magic….. GIVE IT TO ME!” he screams out trying to absorb the magic but twilight prevents him.
“I won’t allow you to take this magic. Not now.” showing off her wings the magic inside her causes the ground around her to crack as she displays the magic that was given to her.
The air felt tense as twilight and tirek raced towards one another as a fight began.
Back to you already you managed to maneuver and hide behind some of the high buildings you took the time to take a breather. You wonder who the hell was that as so many more questions rang in your head. Hell you wonder what else can go wrong as you don’t want to stick around.
Flying up you took again but suddenly you felt a sharp pain course from your wings. You lose your momentum as you fall straight back to earth. You slam to the ground with so much force that you feel your arm almost dislocated after the fall but you muster the strength to stand up.
“Oh jeez…..” you coughed as the pain coursed through but you slowly stood up. Standing up you use one of the house walls to hold yourself up and assess the damage. While the fall knocked the wind out you felt no broken bones but a sharp pain on your left wing. Looking at your wing you gasped in shock. Just inches from the base you see a medium size hole. Normally arrows would break or be still embedded in it but….. There wasn’t….. You wonder what can cause it before you finally spot what causes it.
You hear several footsteps approaching as a few figures dressed in black military armor….. All carrying guns.
You tried to stand up only for one of the figures to catch up, you felt the whiplash of the bastard's gun hitting you on the side of the face.
Falling to the ground you tried to stand up but the figure holds the barrel of his weapon at your head. You felt your life flashing before as the figure held it right on your temple.
“Got the target sir….. Permission to execute” the figure calls out from his radio attached to his side.
You gulped as only seconds passed before you heard another beep sound.
“Permission granted. No mercy” a voice echoed from within the radio.
You closed your eyes as the figure shoves the barrel further. You can feel your heart beating faster than ever as you pray for a miracle.
You gasped as you heard a loud bang…..
You closed your eyes tight waiting for the immediate hit but….. Nothing. You do hear something thumping beside you. Opening your eyes you look over as the bastard who had you pinned was now lying on the ground. You can see on its helmet a hole still smoking was right center on its temple.
You hear more bangs as you see some of the figures who were running towards all took cover, some were already dead.
“Well now sonny…… sorry for the scare but you alright” a voice echoed above causing you to look up. Standing beside you see a regular size elderly pony with a dark gray coat and light white mane and mustache standing in front of you. His attire was a mixture of modern armor and an old time western look as his favorite hate perched right on top giving him the country mix with modern vibe look. On his belt you can see rows of bullets as two revolvers were in a holster on his side with a third in the middle.
You took a good look as you recognized the stallion. You remember from applejack and big mac his name was burnt oak and he is a friend of their father and their uncle.
Burnt tips his hat as you can see him smiling. “Hope you ain’t broke your highness but we don’t have time to be loligagging” he reaches out for your hand. You grab his hand as he pulls you up. Once he was up pushes you till you were behind him.
“Go get out of here. These bastards i can handle. Your family is in the fields near the west side of town” burnt oak pulls out his revolvers as more military figures appeared.
You gasp a bit at the numbers but burnt oak doesn’t finch. “You’ll die if i leave you to face them”
Burnt oak laughs a bit. Without warning you watch as he fires his revolvers. Instantly they hit their targets as some took cover and returned fire. “Don’t worry about me, I can handle this. NOW GO!” he shouts out, firing back.
You were a bit surprised at the level of aim and stability the old pony as before took his word and raced towards the west side of the fields. While your wing is right now unusable you race towards town. You didn’t stop even as you turned a corner to see more of this military militia entering town.
You can only hope to get there before they find you.
As you ran you don’t notice as another has spotted from his scope he watches you hoping you make it through.
*twilight's friends*
“HOW COULD YOU DO THIS ERIS!” fluttershy shouts in sorrow as to the betrayal she just commited. Eris who only rolled her eyes as she walks around the large cage tirek had place them in. after sucking the magic from twilight's friends eris ended up telling the large centaur of the last member of this little group.
Eris watched gleefully as the battle between twilight and tirek was raging on and she couldn’t wait till he wins.
“What wrongs fluttershy you said to make friends so i was making friends yes it’s a bit extreme but isn’t that the point of making new friends” eris smiles deviously as she remembers the many lessons twilight and fluttershy had given her.
“I THOUGHT WE WERE YOUR FRIENDS!” Rainbow shouts in anger as Eris ignores it. The others stayed silent as rarity comforted shy who was hurt the most compared to the others.
Eris looked shy as she did feel something tingling in her heart as she looked at shy’s crying and covering face, the looks of her other friends didn’t help further the feeling in her own heart. She didn’t know what this feeling is…… and it hurts.
Eris looks away before her attention turns to flapping from above looking up she recognize the figure flying by to be one of tireks subordinates. She didn’t ike them to begin with as they seemed more….. Off the even her and this harpy screams i’m a bitch.
She remembers her name to be called angel like the little bunny fluttershy keeps as a pet but this creature was more like a harpy then normal pegasus. Though unlike regular pegasus these harpys were a mixture more of a hawk and a pony but instead of her wings on her sides like a pegasus her arms are wings and her feet are sharp talons. Razor sharp to turn anything she can get her talons on to shreds.
“So mix bitch tirek says she wants these ponies to be moved further down town. The fireworks are about to start once the master gets twibitches magic” angel smiles deviously as the fight in town was already getting intense.
‘Fireworks?’ Eris wonders what she means as when it comes to fireworks she’s always up for a good show but somehow she was feeling more worry then excitement for whatever tireks subordinates have in mind.
‘Maybe i overstep my boundaries right now’ eris began to question herself now as this seems a bit more than she expected. She watches as angel walks over to the cage, applejack and the others all glared at the harpy as she leans in close.
“Don’t worry sweeties….. We have a special place just for you to watch the fireworks up close. Your lover and friend will join too so don’t worry '' Angel leans in close and her eyes start to swirl around as she stares at the elements. Applejack quickly looks away as something about this harpy seems far more different then just an excellent flier.
Eris dislikes the harpy for most of her name calling but seeing how this bitch has a spell she enjoys messing with only fuels her hatred. Angel grips the ends of the cage and was preparing to transport them to the location only for her to immediately let go as something blasts her away.
Eris was shocked as she managed to see angel being blasted away just a few feet away from where it was flying. She stops herself leaving claw marks against the ground as she stares at her attacker.
Eris turns to where the blast came from. She felt her body freeze as she stared down at the sight of the individual, dressed in strange bizarre armor with a hood and helmet a strange figure stood out. Her hand is smoking from where the blast came from.
Angel looked down at the burn mark on her chest and then back at the figure responsible for the injury. “What is the meaning of this...?!” She unfurled her wings. “I don’t know who you think you are, but who gives a shit? I need to stretch after being locked up for so long! All I need to do is sing a little song and you’ll be obeying. They always do!”
“Angel, don’t-!” Eris tried to say, knowing the stranger was bad news, but her warnings fell on deaf ears.
Flying above the harpy takes a deep breath as she begins to let out a beautiful melody. Similar to sirens some harpy’s lure their victims over to their deaths as her sharp talons would help in tearing the flesh off before devouring.
While she played her melody everyone who listened completely fell into a trance, and even Eris had trouble keeping herself from falling under the harpy’s hypnotic voice as she held her ears. She would no longer be able to try and warn Angel that this was a losing battle. The figure in armor doesn’t even flinch or move as she only stares at the harpy.
The harpy only smirks as she figures she had already gotten her under her trance but…… she stops as to what the figure does next.
The figure tapped the side of her helmet, making sure Angel got the message that she couldn’t hear anything.
‘WHAT IMPOSSIBLE!’ Harpy gasps as the figure taunts her by flipping her off. That sends the harpy over as she hates being taunted. She flys over and aimed her talons at her rival’s head.
The figure manages to dodge the attack as the harpy takes off back in the air. While she isn’t stronger than her other subordinates she was far better than that idiot bane who died so easily which didn’t surprise her. She was so much better than that stone head idiot and she was going to prove it.
Taking back down she sneak attacks from behind and wraps her wings around the unknown figure. While the figure might not be able to hear Angel’s hypnotic melodies, she can feel the bitch was trying to use a leech spell on her. While the figure's armor prevented most of it , she can still feel her magic being stolen.
Enough was enough. The harpy was trying to put her to sleep and drain her dry, and the figure wasn’t having it. She tries to use more of her melody magic only for the figure to finally react.
The figure unleashes a nasty headbutt right on the nose, the force cause the harpy to loosen her grip as her nose scrunches from the force of her face hitting against the figures helmet
A huge surge of power was discharged which was not just powerful, but it was cold too. Freezing, even.
The harpy tries to fly away only for the figure to grab one of her talons. Instantly her talon freezes as the figure's touch was far below zero. The harpy can feel her whole foot already frozen as the figure doesn’t hold back as with a bit of force she breaks the talon.
The harpy screams in pain as her whole talon was broken like glass. The figure still holds what’s left of her talon and throws her right on the ground. Struggling to get free the figure holds the harpy down before moving up to her wings. The same cold feeling courses through sending waves of pain coming from the harpy’s mouth.
Angel screams in agony as everyone could only watch in horror as the strange figure freezes both wings from the base before in seconds ripping them off. The harpy screams so loudly as everyone covers their ears. Seconds later she was silent as the figure grabs her head, without warning her head freezes up. The figure then using some force destroys the head, smashing the head into pieces the harpy’s body flops as bits of frozen blood oozes from where her head was.
“Dammit...! Angel...!” Eris cursed, gazing at the now defeated harpy. It’s been a while since the draconequus actually felt frustrated over something. Now that Angel was out of the way, the figure turned to the goddess of chaos.
The figure dusts its hands off as it walks towards her. Eris was already a bit afraid as this figure showed no mercy to the harpy; she never was one to get into dangerous conflict. In fact she never was a type to fight as she was more mischievous than courageous.
Eris steps away as she tries to snap her fingers to safety but the figure using a concentrated blast hits her hand. The blast doesn’t break her hand but it does numb it to the point she can’t snap her fingers.
Eris tries to run only for the figure to hit her again this time on her back. Eris falls to the ground as she tries to crawl away but the figure stops her. Stepping on her tail eris turns around, her eyes filled with fear as the figures mask shined from the sun above.
Unbeknownst to eris she didn’t know why but she had only one thing to say as the figure kept her in place.
“Wh—--- who are…… who are you?” eris asks.
The figure in armor stops as she listens to eri’s question. Although the figure did wonder on answering it does turn to the cage of friends inside. The figure turns to eris as it reaches over it’s hood and pulls it down.
Once the hood is down the figures mask decompresses as the mask deconstructs in front of them.
Once the figure disappears into the armor, its eyes widen at the sight.
While the figure was female and bared so many scars from her neck to where her broken horn that was supposed to be on her head her hair was buzz cut on one side the other half a beautiful blue and brown locks hang off hiding her right eye.
While her face showed a battle harden warrior eris and twiights friends all can see who the figure was.
“Night?” applejack says breaking the silence.
*your POV*
You were able to make a few detours to your destination but you kept moving towards the west field. While your maneuvering was a bit limited, you began to wonder how characters like James Bond, Tom Cruise and even Sylvester Stallone make dodging bullets and action scenes seem so easy. Then again, those were only movies and special effects.
Reality was so much more terrifying, as you had to dodge so many bullets just to pass a few houses. You were able to arm yourself with some of the tools lying around, and hoped to repay the owners after this was all as you hope to repay them once everything is over.
Walking through you managed to take out a few militia as you made your way. You hoped to make it there in no time.
To bad your luck is running out.
Just on the edge where the train station was you stopped. A mammoth of a minotaur that makes even the princesses dwarf in comparison stood in front of you. He wore strange armor as most of the upper part of his body was bare, showing off his impressive muscles. His horns were gigantic as both arms were wrapped around in strange gauntlets with markings all around the straps and a large symbol in the middle.
He just reeked of arrogance as that large smile spread on his face shows it.
Using your hammer you had with you didn’t have time with this and tossed it right at the bastard’s head. Despite his size he indeed was fast. Instantly just inches from his head he caught the hammer. You were taken back at his impressive reflexes and even more impressed at how strong he is as he crushes the hammers head which was made of steel like cushing an alluminum can.
“Don’t stand in our Lord Tirek’s way of remodeling this rotten land, monkey!”
“If I had a bit every time I heard people call me monkey I’d be a billionaire” you stated which causes the titan to chuckle a bit.
“A comedian huh…… if that’s the case if my lord thinks you’re worth anything you can entertain him better than me”
You stare up before another killing blow as the titan barrels it’s fist down right at your head it stops just an inch from your face. The titan is cofused as something prevents him from moving whatever it was definitnly strong enough to stop his attack.
He tries to move his arm only to feel his body being lifted up. Once the fist was away from your face you stare as the minotaur titan like a doll being thrown away crashes right on the side of a small buisness stand.
You were still wondering what the hell is going on before a voice echoes from behind.
“Heh I know I’ve been gone or a while but I didn’t expect this to happened.” a familiar voice echoes from behind.
Looking back you see a face you hadn’t seen in a whie. In fact you hadn’t seen him in such a long time after he decides to go on his little own expedition.
Dressed in a brown leather jacket that was worn out with signs of adventure and a regular cowboy cap (one you remember applejack gave him) and a large backpack on his back. His pure white coat fur still clean as his once blonde mane now turned a bit darker which gave him a better look for him. He also decided to let his facial hair grow out a bit for a short beard.
“Blueblood?” you said standing up as the stallion you haven’t seen looked completely different then when he left. Especially with the unique blue phoenix that sat on his shoulder.
“Long time no see,” he chuckled and helped you to your feet. He had definitely gotten stronger too.
You smile as he reaches out for a handshake, but you gave him something better. Standing up you hugged him as you welcomed him back, despite what’s going on. That aside, you could feel from this distance that whatever he’s been doing on his journeys, he’s built up a huge level of magical power.
“I want to say it’s good to be back, but I could have never expected I’d be coming to a warzone,” Blueblood shook his head. The phoenix screeched in agreement.
“Yeah, hehe... Today isn’t what I expected either...” you let out a lame chuckle. “I’m sorry for the lousy excuse for a welcome party.”
Blueblood only waves his hand. “No worries i’m just glad i came in just in time before he turned your face into a pancake” he smiles only for another explosion echoes. You both turn to see the mintoaur titan climbing out of the mess without as much as a scratch.
“I have to say tiny pony….. You’re indeed stronger then most of the unicorns my master has leeched of but” he pops a few more joints as he smirks.
Titan began to flex in and kissed one of his veiny muscular arms. “It makes no difference who my opponent is. All the magic in this world will belong to Lord Tirek eventually. All who stand in the way of his ambition to create such a beautiful world must be terminated!”
You grabbed a large axe someone left behind and held it out ready attack but blueblood stops you.
“Go find your family,” Blueblood insisted as he stood between you and the flexing minotaur. He saw the opportunity to test his new tricks on this behemoth. During his journeys, he’s had the privilege of meeting minotaurs, but with the words that just came out of Titan’s mouth, he was a traitor to all the minotaur Blueblood had befriended.
“Be careful,” you advised and ran off to find your loved ones.
Titan and Blueblood were in a deadlock. “I’ll start off lightly...” he said and his horns began to glow. The ground suddenly reshaped into spikes and traveled over to Blueblood. This minotaur... was a stone manipulator.
Blueblood smirked and jumped out of the reach of the stones while his pet phoenix flew away to safety. He landed just as the spikes sank back into the ground.
“Are you underestimating me?” he asked, granted how easy it was to dodge those spikes. “The beasts I’ve fought in the nights I spent camping in the wilderness came much closer to killing me!”
Titan flexed some more. “I am a handsome warrior who serves to cleanse this filthy land in Lord Tirek’s name. A slug like you can’t figure it out on your own, so I’ll tell you...”
Blueblood was as offended as he was confused.
“Take a good look around you!” The ground around Blueblood turned into spikes again and two sections rose up and engulfed him like a Venus flytrap. Titan kissed his muscles. “I’ll say it once more. I am handsome.” He gave the seemingly dead unicorn a thumbs down. “You are a slug, bitch!”
It looked like it was over, but a light shone through the cracks of the spike trap and the walls slowly opened up and cracked. In a mere two seconds, the stone trap was broken apart and Blueblood stood there with his hands engulfed in a magical aura.
Titan smirked. “You’re better than I thought, slug.”
Stepping out of the ashes Blueblood pops his shoulder joint and smirks. "I learned a few tricks while on my adventure. And I'm hoping to test them out on a real opponent" a blue flame shines in Bluebloods eyes as the tips of his hair shines a bright blue color.
They both stare down at one another before both ran forward at each other. The battle begins.
*Twilight’s POV*
Twilight coughed a bit as the fight was getting more intense than she ever anticipated. It started with both sides exchanging regular blasts of magic. Thanks to Rainbow Dash’s flight training, Twilight knew how to use her wings better and succeeded in dodging most of Tirek’s attacks with ease, but she knew she wasn't as skilled a fighter as the tyrant.
She manages to take cover in her own home as tirek was closing in. Without holding back tirek sends another bolt of magic hurdling at her. In a split second she grabs Owlowiscious who was perched beside the window and immediately jumps out the window.
Jumping out she can feel the force of the blast as her body was sent flying a few feet away. She shields Owlowiscious from the blast as her new alicorn strength helps prevent any internal injuries.
Her ears rang from the blast but thankfully she managed to stand up. Looking at owlicious she was happy he was okay. The same goes for twilight as owlicious sees tirek. Not needing to be told owlicious immediately flies away. couldn’t be said for her treehouse, though.
As Owlowiscious deserted into the sky, Tirek appears in front and smirked. "I must admit your insatiable determination has proven distasteful but I'm barely at my limit." He stops his hooves in annoyance as he stomps towards.
"So why don't you hand over the magic and save yourself from a horrific death"
Twilight stands up, wiping the dust from her clothes, while most were torn twilight still has plenty of energy left to fight.
"I won't give you the magic tirek. Not now, NOT EVER!" Twilight in the heated moment using her magic blasts the evil overlord against one of the larger houses. He slams into the wall as a large scorch mark stings his chest. Tirei ignores the pain as he stomps towards her.
"So be it" tirek growls in anger.
As he stomps towards Twilight he stops suddenly as a familiar subordinate appears in front.
Dress in a special robe similar to some of the other subordinates colors the figure steps in front of her master and twilight.
Tirek smiled as he recognized the subordinate knowing this fight will end soon with her on her side. “So you decided to show up after all, Sloth.”
“Please don’t burden yourself my lord... I’ll finish her off,” Sloth twitched in sadistic excitement and revealed a pair of metal like claws. Twilight felt a bit fearful as the claws looked razor sharp, she confirmed them as the subordinate slashed the ground leaving large claw marks on the ground.
“Hold nothing back in stripping this pony of all her magic. Leave not a trace of her left" Tirek put his hands together.
"As you wish master" sloth turns towards Twilight.
Twilight stares down as sloth only stares at the pony princess despite twilights new magic level her reflex's weren't fast as compared to her friends like rainbow or even her husband.
Twilight was immediately blindsided as sloth pulls her cloak off and throws it at her. Because it was large and heavy twilight was thrown back a bit. She tries to remove the cloak from her face as she can hear metal footsteps coming closer.
Twilight thankfully was able to remove the cloak from her face just in time to dodge a slash coming barreling down at her face.
Bits of her mane and her favorite shirt got slashed off, but she managed to teleport just inches away from Sloth so it didn’t end up much worse. What she saw next surprised her more.
In front of her was once a female diamond dog with what looks like dark grey fur and dark brown eyes. Now though she didn't know if she was anywhere near her formal self.
Wires and various machinery covered most of her body as her head had several tubes protruding from her neck to her back. Her chest she can see inside a glass case was a single beating heart as most of her body was replaced. Her limbs were another story as her claws and back paws her sharp to the point as sloth moves each of them easily displaying them.
'oh Celestias bones…. She's not….' twilight was lost for words at the sight. While this would be a scientific breakthrough to see a living cyborg but at the same time it's horrifying as she must have gone through agonizing experiments.
“Such a pity there’s no time to explain the wonders of the Tartarus science unit,” Sloth smirked.
Lunging forward for another strike sloth was inches from her target before she was thrown back. A tremendous force hits her dead center as she's thrown back from the unknown strike.
Twilight too was spock from the sudden strike as sloth manages to stand her ground. She looks down from where she was hit. On her chest she can see a large dent was made in the center, thankfully the glass showing her heart was made of a special tempered glass it did dent most of the metal around.
Looking further down she can see what caused it. Right between her feet, was a medium size mace, it was a small ball metal mace and looked more like a a baton then a war mace most had.
Wondering where it came from, Sloth looks up as she hears some pony clapping.
"Well seems I pick the right time to join in the party" a familiar voice echoes behind as she walked beside twilight.
Looking beside her she smiles at the mare who saved her.
"Captain jade," she exclaimed.
Jade smiles as she bows in respect. "Sorry for the late response but I couldn't just sit here and watch you fight this battle alone"
Jade smiles quickly turns to a frown as she stares at the hunk of junk subordinate in front of them. "Plus it would be far game if it's 2 vs 1 now would it"
Jade twirls her own mace which is her pride and joy as it serves her well better than her sword. With tirek by her side sloth only laughs.
"Heh….. personally I don't care for fair game. I only wished to have the opportunity to kill a certain dog during this battle but you'll do for now" she states as jade ready herself.
'wait certain dog. Who is she talking about' twilight wonders on who she meant but she immediately stops her train of thought as jade rushes in after sloth leaving her to deal with tirek
*Your pov*
"Almost……. There" you panted heavily as you can see the fields just a mile in a half away from where you took cover.
Dodging more bullets he manages to find some more tools and other items he can use at his dispersed. Using broken bottles, hammers, axes, a teddy bear (don't even ask why) anything you can use to battle these bastards.
Normally you should have use one of the guns given the fact you watch movies and play videogames with guns in them but…… you're practically pretty much brain damage when it comes to firearms.
Hell the moment you tried use one of them against a terrorist it jammed and you instead beaten the bastard to a bloody pulp. And after throwing it on the ground it goes off almost hitting you in the head.
'dammit I should have taken that gun course when my friend invited me back on Earth's you mentally scolded yourself as you remember a friend back home showed you a gun safety and learning course was given to those who wish to learn on gun safety. But because you dislike guns you refuse. Seems it would have been a handy course in this situation.
You took cover behind a stone pillar as you looked around. While most of the battle is in center of town you can see everything was more of a ghost town.
"Okay I'm almost there. Just need to not get jump ag-" you stopped as you hear another gun cock behind you.
'f@#k' you mentally scolded yourself again as you then force on your knees.
Being grabbed by the shirt collar behind you were dragged straight in the middle of town and force to sit on your knees.
"Found the princy bastard guys" the soldier smirks as he drops me in front of several more black op terrorist.
'princy bastard really' you looked at the soldier as he held you at gun point.
"This is foxtrot to general we've got the target orders sir" one of the terrorists speaks through from his radio.
"Wait for further instructions. Keep him there till new orders arrive" the voice echoes from the radio.
'thank god last call was immediately death's you sighed a bit as the rest held their weapons at you.
"Understood over and out" the leader of this group sighs as he pockets the radio.
Kneeling in front of you the leader grabs your hair and pulls it up till you were eye level.
You grunted from the harsh pull but it didn't phase you much. You had worse in bed then what they give you.
"Did anypony told you are such a pain in the ass" the leader asks.
You only chuckled. "Well…. I aim to please and it does get results"
The leader growls in anger before more shots rang out.
Soon several of leaders group soldiers fell one by one.
More fell as each one hits the ground before the leader follows suit.
You were in shock as all the soldiers who had you captured lay on the ground. Each one was bleeding from the head as whatever killed them was fast enough they couldn't react fast to defend themselves.
You slowly stood up wondering if it's a good idea or not but you were more questioning how you managed to survive this shit so far.
Standing up you hear someone landing just inches from you followed by some thick heavy boots.
Walking towards you was greeted by an incredible sight.
Standing in front of you similar to like the dead terrorists around you this figure was dress in black, red and white military armor with a mask and hood covering it's head.
If you agree on this it looked like something your assassin's would wear at the level of details it was put on. Though fashionable it also looks functional as the figure holsters his weapons before standing in front of you.
He removes his hood as the mask retracts without him removing him as he reveals his face.
Who was standing in front you shock you to the core.
"Wolf..." you said in a stunned and dumbfounded tone.
He smirks. "Sorry for the wait, but I’m not having the best day either...” As if to prove his point, Wolf held his chest and coughed out a little blood.
* flashback *
Wolf was grateful that word traveled fast, especially when it was an emergency. With his motorcycle he had acquired courtesy from the terrorist who stashed it away, he had reached the outskirts of what was left of Ponyville before he was confronted by... him.
Standing in front of him dress in tirek colors robe was another of tireks subordinates wolf was informed before hand.
Driving through town he stops, the sound of his motorcycle idling echoes as wolf stares down at the bastard blocking his way.
“You’re in my way,” Wolf said flatly to the cloaked stranger and pulled out a gun.
“Perhaps. But I know I cannot allow such a troublesome puppy into town.” With that, he pulled his cloak off and in spite of all of Wolf’s misadventures and schemes, he had never seen what was in front of him.
The source of Wolf’s annoyance was what looked like a bipedal great white shark. Wolf has heard rumors of walking fish that inhabit countries beyond the badlands but he’s never got acquainted with one.
“I, Malik, of the six knights serving under Lord Tirek will not let you pass!” he declared and struck a fighting pose.
"Do you assholes always act like you have sticks up your asses" wolf comments.
“If you want to make jokes, now’s the time to do it!” He snapped his fingers and a huge flash erupted.
Wolf was immediately swept away as he never expected that nor expected his new location changing. Falling straight out of the sky he looks down as new surroundings were that of a large body of water. Splashing into the pool, wolf switches his mask to oxygen intake as he tries to swim up.
Smelling the water he can smell the salt as the water feels freezing. Thankfully his amro can handle cold temps below freezing.
'Shit how the hell am in the ocean' wolf wonders unaware as he's not alone.
Looking around for a boat or anything wolf suddenly feels his legs grabbed as he's pulled downward. Wolf gasps as whatever grabbed his legs reaches up and grabs his neck.
“I have all the intel I need on you, Wolf. This is where your choice of becoming a chain smoker comes back to bite you in your pathetic ass!” Malik pointed his finger. “I’m about to take you into a world of hurt! And I’ll enjoy every f@cking minute of it!”
He lets wolf go as he swims away. Wolf can hear a small beep in his helmet signaling for oxygen as he tries to swim up. The moment he almost reaches the top. He was slammed back down. Like a torpedo hitting right on target Malik delivered a heavy punch right on the side of wolf's armor.
Wolf coughs a bit as the armor can only cushion some force but he still felt it.
'damned bastard's wolf grunts as he tries to swim back up
“Are you underestimating me?” he scoffed. “Since you obviously need to go up to the surface for air do you think I’ll let you do it?” Wolf would confess he had a point there. “No one has ever beaten me underwater!”
"And there's a good reason why." He screeches so loud as wolf can feel the vibration from the sound compressing all around. “HERE!” he shouted and shot the vibration straight through Wolf’s body.
‘F@#k this isn’t good...!’ Wolf coughs some blood as his organs felt like they were tearing open from the strong vibrations. The pain served to piss Wolf off and he tried to take a swing at Malik, but the shark easily swam to the side.
Malik was amazed as to the diamond dogs determination as that strike mostly kills those and yet he even tried to swing at him
Swimming behind Wolf, Malik shot another burst of energy through his body.
While the first did much damage wolf can feel like his organs were being ripped apart; however he still kept himself from passing out.
Wolf can feel the burning sensation of his lungs begging for air but Malik only prevents him from getting any chance for air.
“I already told you, I won’t let you get even a single breath of fresh air,” he smirked.
'Bastard is persistent on it. I'll give him much" wolf struggle a bit as Malik keeps him down.
Malik grabs Wolf by the shoulder and delivers a solid punch to his damaged stomach. More blood escaped through Wolf’s snarling fangs.
“You know, you’ve wasted so many years trying to bridge the gap between diamond dogs and ponies,” he whispered in the suffering agent’s ear. “It just so happens that we have a diamond dog in our ranks. The poor thing’s name is Sloth and she’s openly admitted that she’s given up on a future of co-existing with Equestria.”
Wolf couldn't speak up as Malik smirks at his predicament.
“She’s long accepted Lord Tirek’s ideals and is now one of her strongest soldiers. Even stronger than I am, though I’ll admit it makes me jealous. Now don't fret now. Once tirek has finished taking out that annoying rulers and killing that monkey king his first order would enslave your kind. Soon their eternal servitude will be his control."
Wolf lowers his head as Malik laughs in triumph. "HA YOU FINALLY GIVE UP DEMON DOG! It seems the legendary hunter those idiots speak up was nothing more than a pannseey"
Malik trails off a bit as wolf looks up. A small smirk spread on his face as a small click echoed in the water. Wolf holds a small device as he releases it in front of him.
Malik heard of these from the troops as he gulped at what he pulled out. He remembers a thing called an emp grenade which sends a static shock to anything electrical. It said it also more hazardous when mixed in water.
Malik let's go of wolf and tries to swim away but wolf keeps him by grabbing his waist.
“Stop it you bastard! Here underwater, it’ll kill us both!” Malik screams out trying to break free.
Wolf smirks again as Malik just stares at the grenade before he knew what he must do. Using his magic he teleports back just before the grenade fully goes off.
Although it was a split second Malik still felt the aftershock from the grenade as both of them rumble out.
Wolf glad to be on dry land takes in the sweet air graciously.once he regains his breathing motions he slowly stands up. "You know….. my kind can be assholes sometimes…. But one thing is for sure is this. We will NEVER follow in your master's footsteps"
Wolf coughs up some more blood but knowing they are on dry land the tables have turned.
Malik can still feel his muscles tense up from the shock but he still managed to stand up. "How are you still standing. I practically destroyed your organs" he question the dog as wolf only shakes his head.
"I'm still standing so guess you didn't. Now" wolf held his fist up ready to strike. "My turn bitch"
Wolf delivered a heavy punch to the side of Malik's face. He stumbled a bit but wolf continued striking at the fish bastard. He continues throwing a few more punches as Malik tries to fight back.
Throwing a haymaker wolf dodges and swings behind his opponent. Seeing the opportunity wolf doesn't hold back as he brings his leg back and with some force he swings up. Connecting right on target, Malik gasps as his pearls are immediately cracked.
Wolf panted a little as Malik gasped from the weak blow. Falling to his knees, Wolf popped his neck. Malik soon went from coughing to throwing up, and Wolf cringed as the vomit smelled worse than what he was used to.
‘Seriously? This asshole put me through Tartarus and he’s complaining about a low blow hit? Talk about pathetic,’
Wolf didn’t want to hear another word from the walking shark. Pulling out his pistol wolf holds him on his knees as he holds the barrel of his weapon right at the back temple of his skull.
Malik looks up at the blue sky as the cocking sound echoes in his ear. 'oh f@#k me'
The last thing echoed was the sound of a bang follow by a thud.
Wolf sighs holding his weapon, the barrel smoked as bits of blood splatter on top of it and part of his hand.
“Hasta luego pendejo,” he sighed as he wiped the blood off his weapon.
After cleaning and holstering his weapon, Wolf coughed more blood. The late bastard’s sonic blasts did a number on him as Wolf can feel some internal bleeding. Preferably not wanting to die so soon wolf pulls out a small injector. Twisting the top he places the injector on the side of his neck and pressed the inject switch.
Feeling the needles insert into his neck he can feel the serum from the injector enter his body. Though the process isn't pleasant wolf can feel the serum starting to work. The pain on his chest subsides as he felt more rejuvenated and ready. He makes sure to take all of the serum before discarding it.
'I hope I'm not too late. That bastard set me back to long' wolf sighs as he picks up his weapon. Once he cocks the charging handle he puts his mask on and continues towards his destination. Hoping to make it on time
*Miles off unknown location*
Time seemed to pass as they had no idea what was going on. It feels like they've been there for hours, however it's only minutes. Princess Celestia had finished bandaging her hand as Luna and cadence sat on some boxes line around them.
They tried their best to understand the situation but most of the pieces were left blank. All Celestia can remember is the fight and later the room filled with smoke before finally ending up here. Where they don't know.
Luna was feeling more tense as despite her being save she worry on her lover and her foals. Her leg twitches as she lets out a low groan.
She looks around as it was just a lifeless empty room with the walls looking like they were made of sheets of metal. Beside her sister and her niece the only thing in the room are a few crates and some oil drums. Nothing in particular as the sisters wonder why they are here. More importantly is their family and friends safe.
As they wonder more on the situation their train of thought was interrupted as the sound of the large metal door slowly creaks open.
They turn their attention to the door as they watch a figure walk inside. Dress in military fatigue the pony in question was surprisingly moving fairly well despite her age. Especially since they knew her due to her age.
"Ms apple Smith?" Celestia says both stunned and surprised.
Granny Smith smiles as she walks into the room, in hand she holds a tray of apple treats and a fresh jug of water. Setting the tray down she pours some water into a few cups and hands them to each princess.
"Now ah know Ilah got a lot of explaining to do but now's not the time" granny states
"Then just tell us if our family is safe then" Celestia insists as they have so many questions but at this time right now isn't the best time.
Granny Smith nods as she begins her explanation. For a while a rogue terrorist group called the black rose which are responsible for many terrorist acts towards both equestrian and other countries. They had finally made an assault on ponyville after months of waiting.
Celestia remembers from the previous threats they had made including bombing a few local areas in a number of cities but she found out later they disappeared after almost 4 years ago. She hoped they were gone for good. Guess she was wrong.
Granny Smith shakes her head. "When word was secretly given to them they immediately sought aid of Lord Tirek hoping to boost their plans." She pours some more water for the princesses as they thank her still feeling the cool water soothe their throats.
"However if tirek thinks he got the upper hand then he'll see as to why they can't be trusted. To them he's their puppet, not the other way round."
Luna bites her lip as another question comes to mind. "What are their plans then. What do they plan to use tirek then" Luna asks fearing for the worst.
Granny Smith only knows a bit of details but she answered the best she can.
"Our sources say tirek is the bait as they plan to siphon both the lands magic and his own with a special machine they had been building for years"
"Siphon? Why?!" Celestia wonders what the plan is with the magic.
Granny Smith only sighed as she really doesn't want to make the situation worse but at the same time she couldn't lie to the princesses.
Granny Smith sighs a bit. "It's best you don't know your highness"
Tension built up in the air, it felt as though they couldn't breathe right the longer the silence echoed.
Celestia finally breaks the silence as she remembers her previous question.
"What about our foals and our lovers' safety?"
Granny Smith looks at princess Celestia and bows.
"Do not worry as my captain is helping your husband and your foals are in the safety of your guards." Smith reassured them.
The princesses all sigh in relief as they at least are glad they are safe.
"However I'm sorry princesses but right now the battle has begun and we can't afford to have you all in your condition to leave this safehouse"
The princesses gasped as Celestia tried to stand up. "We can't let tirek or those monsters destroy ponyville." She wobbles a bit but as predicted her magic levels are dangerously low and moving only causes her to wince and struggle through the pain.
Granny Smith stops Celestia from moving as she sits back down to catch her breath.
"You all need to be safe. Your conditions aren't in the best sugar cubes. Leave the battle to us" Smith reassures them as she gives a thumbs up.
Although her bravery is honorable, it would prove to be more difficult due to her age as she had to use a cane for longer walks.
"Mrs. Smith, are you sure? I hate to sound disrespectful but you aren't in the best shape. No offense" Celestia admits seeing her old wrinkled body.
Granny Smith smirks as she chuckles a bit. "Oh don't mind this old body." Reaching up at her mane bun she had two pins in her hair that she removed. As she removes the pins her body slowly begins to change. Her once wrinkle face slowly turns to a beautiful young mare as her body straightens out.
The princesses were taken back at the sight as the once elderly mare slowly turned into a beautiful and strong muscular mare. Like an apple she had muscles that show the life of a farmer as her biceps would match her grand daughters. Flexing her muscles gra- no apple Smith pops a few joints as she looks up at the two royal princesses.
“Remember not all is what it seems. And in this day in age our agents are more than just soldiers”
She's an agent? Like wolf' Celestia questions as Mrs Smith grabs her weapon from behind. A large weapon with some sort of handle on the bottom as she pulls it back, a large click echoes as she pulls it back in place.
"I do apologize for the secrecy but….. I'm needed on the battlefield"
She heads out leaving the princesses all stunned at the sudden transformation. As she leaves she presses a button on her radio.
"The princesses are safe. Heading out to rondevu location." She finishes as she leaves the safehouse.
*Back to you*
“SERIOUSLY?! How do I keep getting dragged into all these crazy adventures?!” You raced past some more houses, so close to your desired destination. Wolf had joined in to help you take down more of these terrorists. Thank Celestia his sharpshooting skills were as good as they were.
The fun lasted only a few minutes as you and Wolf managed to take out a few more terrorists before you stopped. After slashing another enemy, you stop to see Twilight flying right above you.
“HEY TWILIGHT!" you shouted hoping to get her attention. You succeeded, but not in the way you expected. Waving as she came your way, you only had a split second to reach out and catch her as she came barreling down on top of you. Now holding your lover, you took in most of the force of the fall, but it could have been worse.
She rubs her head as she looks up at you. While she looked tired a bit scorch on a few parts of her clothes and mane twilight didn't look as bad as you in comparison.
"Honey what happened, what's going on?!" You asked, trying to understand the situation.
"Honey huh? So you are her husband?" A loud booming voice sounded, catching your attention.
Looking at where twilight had fell you turn to see large tyrant. Like the information you were given you see a large centaur like creature with blood red skin and black as darkness color mane. Two large satanic horns sit perched as his new muscular body displays out for the world to see.
You knew from Antique’s tale, which was still fresh in your memory, that he was once the prince of a dying or extinct race. You had wished to speak up against the centaur tyrant, but it was temporarily out of the question as you had to make another split second dodge with Twilight in your arms. Tirek laughed as you narrowly escaped his fireball.
"This will make the conquering much easier with both of you dead" he smirks throwing out a few more fireballs at you and twilight.
After dodging another you and twilight charged at him ready to stop him at any means cost.
*Back to Nocturnal Night*
The imprisoned elements stared in awe at the older version of Nocturnal Night, the eldest daughter of their lover and the queen of the night stood over the draconequus. From such a close proximity, Eris could see the many scars that covered Night’s face and there was nothing but hatred in her eyes.
"F@$KEN BITCH!" Night screams in anger as her left boot slams right on eris stomach.
Eris gasps from the kick but she couldn't react fast enough as eris felt another kick this time right on her jaw. The kicks felt like she was getting pelted by hard cinder blocks as they continued slamming right on her head and chest.
She tries to use her magic but night prevents her as using her own magic she prevents her from snapping her fingers or even teleporting away.
After a few more heavy punches night grabs eris by the neck. Holding her up she tosses her right at the large cage the captives were still in.
The cage shook wildly from the slam and Eris leaned against the bars and slid down. By now her face was badly beaten and swollen. Though she’s seen worse, the beating nonetheless sent her into a state of shock.
The goddess of chaos slowly stood up as a headache formed from the beating. Just as she regained some of her vision, she looked up to see Night approaching her.
"Our world is in SHAMBLES BECAUSE OF YOU!" Night screams out enraged.
Eris begins to cower in fear as nights rage and cold expression was enough to send shivers down her spine.
Applejack and the others could only watch as eris cowers in fear.
"Sugarcube please calm yourself" Applejack shouts out trying to get through to the older night.
"Darling please don't no matter how bad or how much trouble eris has caused killing her won't solve anything" rarity tries to reason as night only walks closer to the cage
"Like tartarus it won't." She points at the cowering draqoniques. "Because of her OUR WORLD IS A CONSTANT WARZONE!"
Twilight's friends all had looks of shock on their faces after hearing that.
"Wait…… what do you mean… What happened to our home? More importantly, what happened to you Night?" Fluttershy asks wondering what happens in the future.
"Yeah what happened to the sweet little star we all know and love" rainbow tries to break the top of the cage, however she was still weak from the capture.
Nocturnal night finally calms herself as despite not informing them they knew she wasn't from this time. She calms her nerves before speaking.
"Times changed. And for me my life has been nothing but a constant battle" she turns to eris who only stares at the future princess.
"Thanks to this bitch….. I had lost so much. My home, my friends, my childhood... and more importantly... my family.”
Nocturnal night stops for a second as she explains to the best of her knowledge.
When tirek had came to destroy ponyville he not only succeeded in stealing all the magic….. he also killed her father and mother during the fight. Her aunt Celestia too was killed in battle leaving aunt cadence, nightmare moon, nightmare rarity, amira and chrysalis to take up in arms as the new rulers of Equestria.
They had hoped to exact justice on Tirek; however, he was betrayed by the very militia that employed him. Using him to siphon as much magic as they can he wasn't much use as he was disposed of once his job was done. Leaving the black rose militia to move in and take over. Thankfully they failed their mission but the war had already begun after the death of the king and queens.
She was just a child as Cadence took in her and her siblings in hopes of keeping them safe. Sadly though the Black Rose were ruthless in their goal of destroying everything Equestria stood for. That included terminating the heirs to the throne. Night narrowly escaped the blast that almost ended her life, but the same couldn’t be said for her brothers and sisters. Soon more bombs took more of her family members and she couldn't stomach it anymore.
Hardened at a young age from how much was taken from her, Night asked Cadence to keep fighting, but she also knew she couldn’t stay with her. She craved justice just as much as the lives they had destroyed.
So Wolf and Jade, her honorary uncle and aunt, took her in as her adoptive parents. For the sake of making it possible for her to survive in the new world, Night had undergo a ruthless training session to hone her magic and combat skills to near perfection. Days turned into weeks, which turned into months, which turned into years as she put her once small body into attack mode. But the war only raged on, and when she was 14, Jade Star met her end in another bombing attack. For years she spent in hiding and survival from the black rose was constantly trying to eliminate her as the last member of the royal family.
Wolf, her godfather and adoptive father, did all he could to keep her safe and they continued with their intense training session until she was ready. On her 18th birthday, the day she officially became an adult, she learned something new that could help end the war and all this pain.
Through a reliable source, she and Wolf had learned of a facility near the dead zone that had been successfully testing some new tech in time travel. The moment before Night actually jumped back into the past was forever burned into her mind.
*Hours before time jump*
Nocturnal Night remembered being in one of the drop ships taking them to their destination. She had just finished strapping her armor as she pats down her chest plate. Though the Youngest of the bunch she was like her father ruthless and determined.
Suddenly a familiar face walks over towards her. He looked older as some greys shown on his face but he was still kicking after years of fighting. Taking a seat beside her wolf pulls out a small cupcake with a bday candle on top. He held it out and lit the candle with his cigarette lighter as Night smiled.
“Happy birthday, Mija" wolf smiles while holding the cupcake.
She smiles as no matter how big or small she knows her dad loves her. Blowing out the candle night hugs wolf.
“Thanks dad." She thanks him as she eats the cupcake.
"How far till we reach our destination?" She asks, wiping the frosting from her bottom lip.
"Eta 40 minutes." Wolf sighs as memories of their lives before this horrible war came back as usual. What a life would they have if he was faster. What if he tried to save his friends and night's biological parents.
He spent years in dread of that fateful day but he refused to sit down and die. Night was all he had left this war had it taken.
“Night... mija... I know I am at fault for your parents' deaths…. But know that I'll always be by your side okay"
Night finished the cupcake and sighs a bit. She knows her dad has always blamed himself for her parents death but she knew it wasn't. It was Tirek, his clan, Eris and the Black Rose militia. But no matter how much she protested, Wolf still blamed himself.
She leans her head on her dad's shoulder. "Dad….. I know you aren't my real father but….. I could never blame you. I love you pops" she smiles holding his arm.
Wolf shed a tear as he had not in a long time. He was always happy that night and looked up to her like a father figure despite how harsh her life has been. They have their little moment before they hear the intercom blared out
"We are approaching the dropzone. Ready up"
Both night and wolf took a deep breath as wolf walked up to the front of the drop hatch.
He turns to the brave mare and stallion who all were geared up and ready. All had looks of both bravery but uncertainty in their eyes.
Wolf takes a deep breath before he speaks.
"Alright listen up. Intel has said that the machine device is in the center of the facility, our goal is to make it there and use it to send someone back in time. We hope this device can help us change the world but we are still uncertain on the location or if it actually works." He pauses for a second before continuing.
"I know….. it's a suicide mission and many of you might not make it back. But we are stronger then those terrorist bastards. We've lost so much because of their so-called ideals but if we strive and work together. We will finally end this war."
Wolf takes a deep breath and shakes his head. "If you however still feel like you can't go through this I won't blame you for staying. But to those who are with me will you stand tall right beside me."
Every mare and stallion cheered ready to fight not for their homes but for the world.
Wolf smiles at the response as the intercom comes again.
"We are over the destination. Opening the cargo shutters now"
Wolf outs on his mask as everyone puts theirs on night outs on her as her mask configuration. Once it's operational the shutters open.
"It's a honor to fight beside strong and courageous soldiers" wolf pats his helmet.
With a loud oorah war cry they all jumped.
Night who joined the jump skydive watched in horror as the once beautiful and colorful land she once called home was nothing but a barren hole riddled wasteland. Bomb's, and gunfire echoes through the sky as the further she fell the louder the bombs can be heard.
Falling further she can see a few soldiers who had jumped were immediately hit by bombs or bullets as the sound of screams echoes in her ears. She phase through it as she's used to it while growing up.
Despite so many bullets flew past her she extended her wings out and landed safely. Once she is on the ground level night pulls out her rifle and races through the wasteland.
"It was a nightmare the moment I touched down. Bullets fly, grenades pop and screams of the dying echoed everywhere." Night monologues as everything she remembers before coming from the future.
"I had to run through several trenches and while gunning several enemies that were once just regular civilians only to be forced to join such a ridiculous cause. I saw those I once called friends getting gunned down, one….. blew up in front of me" night shivers as she remembers the poor soldier who just stood up out of the trench immediately was hit by a mortar. Nothing but blood and a small crater was left.
Finally what felt like hours she finally reached the building. Finding the entrance she can see her father and several other soldiers had made it through.
"MIJA! Wolf reachedqq out happy to see night as after the jump it was pure chaos. Pulling her close he hugs her tight knowing this a bad idea but night refuses to back down.
She lost too much and wanted this war to end. After breaching the doors the rest enter the facility.
The facility was huge once they entered with several long corridors. Debris fell as the building shook from the bombing outside the soldiers kept their guard up the further they proceeded through.
Upon entering one of the labs two soldiers were immediately gunned down as some of the militia were already inside. The fight continued at night and her step dad fought their way through. Exchanging bullets they had to use some equipment in one of the labs.
Nocturnal night remembers they were all cornered with a few of the soldiers in one of the labs. She remembered her father grabbing one of the propane tanks and doing a bit of diy he uses his new makeshift bomb on the enemies. In an instant his father cleared the whole room with a single explosion.
After clearing the room night, her father and the rest of enemies thought they could get a bit of breathing room. Sadly they couldn't.
After taking a breath one of the soldiers that was leaning on one of the tables in the lab was immediately attacked.
The rest of the soldiers watched in horror as something tore into the poor soul, blood and pieces of flesh flew out as whatever tore into him took its time.
Once the soldier stopped twitching and screaming the creature slowly revealed itself. It bared its fangs as the rest of the group aimed their weapons at the beast.
It was a very large and very hungry timberwolf. But this one was far more different than most. This creature was 3 times larger which they figured to be an alpha as they are the only ones that grew bigger than most.
However some parts of its head, teeth and limbs were replaced with both mechanical and rune magic making it more dangerous and more difficult to kill.
As night raises her weapon they couldn't react fast enough as another soldier was being torn apart by another cybernetic timberwolf.
Wolf, night and the last remaining soldier made a run for it. Racing out wolf and night were ahead as the last soldier tried to keep up. But sadly it wasn't enough.. without warning the soldier trips as one of the timberwolves grabs it's leg.
The soldier tries to shoot at it as the other joins in grabbing his other leg.
"F@#K YOU IF IM DYING HERE YOU'RE COMING WITH ME TOO" the soldier screams out as they make their way to his chest. Wolf and night tried to kill the wolves but it was too late.
They watch in horror as the soldier pulls the pin on his last grenade. In seconds it goes off.
Wolf and night covered their eyes as dust l, blood and bits of wood splattered everywhere. Normally night was used to it after so many years seeing those sacrifices for a cause but….. she couldn't understand why she was shocked.
Still in a shock like trance she didn't realize as her father grabbed her arm and began pulling her towards him.
She didn't notice as she was yanking away. More bullets flew past her as she finally regained her senses. Snapping out of trance she scans her surroundings as she somehow was in a bigger lab in the facility.
Looking up she can see many machines line up with several consoles each still working despite the constant debris falling. In the center she can see a large Dome-like device in the middle.
"Father we made it" night smiles as she removes her helmet. She scans some of the consoles. They showed signs of stability as she laughs in triumph.
"Yes it works now we c-" night turns to see her father. She stops mid sentence as she watches her father clutching something.
Wolf takes off his mask with one hand as he was clutching something in the middle of his stomach.
Blood spilled out from his mouth as more spilled out from where he was clutching. Night realized what happened.
"OH MOTHER OF GODS DAD!" Night rushes over as wolf tries to stop the bleeding. He bled profusely as more seeped out.
"Ow….. guess they are using armor piercing rounds" he chuckles a bit as more blood spills out of his mouth.
Night rushes over as he helps wolf stop the bleeding. Taking a seat on one of the lab chairs night helped as much as she could, however the bullet did more damage than she can imagine.
"F@#k some bday huh. I'm sorry Mija It turned shitty" wolf coughs a bit of blood as night tries to stabilize the gunshot.
"Dad please….. save your strength." Night works on stopping the bleeding and bandages up the wound.
As night helped her father wolf face lit up as he remembered something while he was being patch up.
"Oh I almost forgot I've gotten you a present." He laughs as he wonders why he was feeling so heavy. Pulling out night's present she went wide eyed at what was giving her.
In wolf's hand was a medium size silver and black lever action rifle with a large moon and sun emblem in the back stock of the rifle. Ever since she was young she found classic rifles she loved and always wanted one.
Grabbing the rifle she examines it amazed at how beautiful it looked and how easy it was to hold it one hand. She swings the lever as it cocks ready to fire. She smiles as she turns to her pop who too smile.
"Guess I'm getting dementia if I forgot to give you your present" wolf laughs coughing up more blood.
"Thank you dad but let me patch you up before we can continue" night holsters her new rifle as she tries to help her father. However wolf stops her.
He stands up. "No time we may not have another chance if we stop here" wolf fought through the pain as he stood up and walks over to the main consoles. Sadly the mission comes first.
Walking beside her father wolf can see a large belt like device that looks like it can only fit one pony. Another was sitting beside it but it wasn't complete. Wolf grunts as only one would work while the other will have to stay.
Grabbing the belt wolf walks over to night hland hands her the belt. "Night put this on. We don't have much time"
Night stares at the belt as the wheels in her head turned. Already she knows what wolf's plan and she couldn't go through this. She steps back as wolf looks at her in confusion.
“N-n.... No Dad... I...” Even after all that training, Night began to panic as the thought of losing the only family she had left hit her harder. She couldn't do it. She didn't want to lose her father... not again. She clutched her head as she began hyperventilating.
Wolf sighed at the sight of Night’s reaction. Unfortunately, they had very little time for this. Reaching over, he held her tight and began to sing a small lullaby in her ear. It was the same melody he and Jade would sing to her when she couldn't sleep in her younger days.
Night started to calm down as Wolf fastened the belt around her waist.
"Night... Mija... My lil star... You had to grow up so fast in such a vile world. We both know there’s not a day that goes by that I blame myself because of the choices I had to make for you. You should be in school, making friends, and enjoying life to the fullest. Not having to survive every day just repeat it the next day.” He rubbed her head gently, letting his fingers flow down her mane.
He let out a few more tears, and Night broke down as well. “I’m sorry... But I at least know you are strong. Stronger than me and I know you will succeed. Ever since you were small, I could feel incredible power building inside of you. You're a big mare now. You are my cub and I know your biological parents would be just as proud of you as me and Jade are.”
Night wiped some of the tears away. "But…… what if I'm not strong enough?" She chokes through a sob but wolf only smiles, wiping away her tears.
"You are strong I know you are" he smiles as they hear the doors banging. Wolf and night can see a bright flash starting on one of the sides of the large metal doors.
"Shit they are cutting through. We don't have much time" he pulls night over to the center of the dome.
Night stood in the middle as she had to remove her weapons as none will come with her. Wolf sat back as he began inputting some coordinations into the machine. The dome around begins to move as the rings circle around her the belt lights up as night looks at her father.
“I’m inserting the date of the day your father faced Tirek. You must go back and prevent Tirek from ever succeeding.” He gave her a thumbs up. “You got this Mija.”
Suddenly the doors were finally cut down as they fell to the ground. Once the doors were cut through milita stormed in. Wolf dodges a few bullets and returns fire. He finishes his coordinations and returns fire.
The dome rings around night and was moving too fast for any of the bullets to hit her as they turned their attention to wolf. Wolf returns fire only to be hit again.
Night watches in horror as the last thing she sees as her father falls….. was a group of them walking up to his bleeding body. They toss his gun to the side before opening fire at wolf.
She screams her father's name as she returns to the pass.
*Present time night pov*
Nocturnal night finished her tale as she shed a few tears. She had lost everything, and it was all her fault.
After listening to nights story everyone couldn't help but shed tears, eris too as she's never shed tears before. Tears slid down her face as Eris had no words to speak.
"So now you know…. EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT!" Night shouts out in pure anger.
Stomping on Eris’ head, the vengeful princess pressed down as hard as she could. Eris couldn’t do anything but accept her fate. If Night was telling the truth, her plan was all for naught as the destruction of their world was indeed her fault.
Wiping her tears away rarity looks up and using what magic she had left she stops night from crushing the goddess of chaos’ head.
“Darling, please stop...” Rarity begged, as Night was clearly stronger than her.
"SHE DESERVES TO DIE. JUST LIKE THAT HARPY SHE CAUSED NOTHING BUT SUFFERING WHEREVER SHE GOES" Night tried to break free from rarities magic.
Applejack tried her best to break the cage bars with Rainbow there to help out.
“SUGAHCUBE STOP!” Applejack pleads as night eyes were only full of anger and rage. Eris doesn't move nor even teleports as she can feel her magic coming back but so traumatizing by her own actions would not only destroy the sweet and adorable little night life but to millions of others.
"Please….. night…. Stop just for a second, please listen please" fluttershy begs.
Though it's been years in the future since Night heard her lovely aunts’ voices, it felt good but at the same time it hurt to see them scared of her. Even after all the horror she witnessed and how much she hardened her heart from the world, she could see that family was something she could never close her heart to.
She looks down as eris doesn't move She remembers some good memories with her despite her hatred. After her parents death eris disappeared and no one knew where she went. Although part of her had one question for eris as that finally gave her the chance to pull back.
Removing her foot she sighs as she looks at her aunt's in the cage.
Seeing night calm herself fluttershy was the first speak.
"Night….. you must remember why you are here….. you told us you are here to save your dad. Remember" fluttershy reminds her as during the small story she remembers why she was here.
Night pauses and remembers her mission as to why she is here and to what her father and the others who sacrifice in coming here. 'f@#k I almost forgot my mission' she reminds herself of what she was supposed to do.
As Night remembered her duties she turned to the captive alicorns who all sighed with relief when she stopped. Eris stood up on her knees still stunned. Night looked at her back at her family.
"You're right…. I'm…… I'm sorry" night smiles as she uses her magic removing the bars they were happy to be free.
Just as night releases them a loud explosion echoes from behind.
*Back in safezone Celestia pov*
Celestia tapped her finger in a rather irritated manner. Neither she nor Luna could understand how they could do nothing but sit around while their beloved human and student were out there fighting for the kingdom.
While their magic is limited they couldn’t just sit there and do nothing any longer.
“Sister, what are we supposed to do? If tirek gets the msgic he will be unstoppable" Luna speaks out Celestia nods in agreement.
If they couldn't get the chest of friendship open in time then all will be lost however Celestia magic levels are dangerously low and her injuries need time to heal.
Cadence sighed. She, too, was too weak to move.
Time passed by until Luna finally felt something. Her body suddenly grew weary as this sinking feeling only grew worst every second pass. It was so bad she began to puke.
Celestia looks at her Young sister before she too felt the dread feeling too. Both princesses were already feeling worst as they knew something is going to happen and they need find their lover and twilight.
"SISTER we need to go now. I feel…… like something truly awful will happen if we stayed her"
Celestia agrees however they don't have enough magic to teleport. "How can we get there without our magic, our wings are too drained to lift ourselves in the air. We will fall before we even take off." Celestia stated.
Cadence can sense the love and worry in their hearts the longer they stay in the safehouse. Clutching the locket around her neck, a gift from shining during their 5th year anniversary of dating.
Knowing the tension is killing her aunt's she stands up and walks over to her aunt's.
"Not all is lost" she holds her locket as her aunt's look at her.
Her aunt's looked at the beautiful heart locket she was clutching. Holding it out cadence smiles.
"Before we confronted either Tirek or Twilight, I had stored a bit of my magic away into my locket in case of emergencies,” Cadence held the said locket out.
The two sisters could feel the magic inside the locket, but from how powerful the magic is, the locket might break once released.
Celestia can tell the locket means more to her as she didn't want her to break her treasure just for them.
Cadence sighs a bit but her smile doesn't fade. "For my family I'll do anything to help them"
Celestia and Luna do protest a bit but Cadence doesn't listen and using her magic she releases the magic in the locket.
The magic flies out as cadence guides it to her aunt's. Her aunt's felt a bit more better than ever as cadences stored magic helped them. The locket gratefully didn't break as cadence sighs in relief.
As Celestia and Luna feel the magic restoring some movement in their limbs but they quickly turn to cadence who slumps down. They catch her as they let her rest on some of the crates.
"Is she okay?" Luna worries about her niece's condition.
"She is just worn out. I do hope to repay her for the trouble we cause" Celestia reassured her sister.
With new found magic both sisters nod as their horns lit up. Teleporting out they hope they aren't to late
*Your pov*
"Bastard is pissing me off" you shouted in annoyance. After dodging another fire blast the centaur made it his goal to use you as a rag doll. Grabbing your leg, twilight watches tirek toss his lover into various homes.
You managed to stand up despite being thrown around only for tirek to catch you and held your neck. He tries to absorb the magic you have but you weren't giving up that fast.
Kicking him off your foot hits clean against the bastards lower jaw. You swore you knock one of his teeth as you jumped away from the warlord.
"Sorry this magic is a gift from my lovers." You smirk as that sends tirek over the edge.
Looking at you with rage in his eyes you can see you had knocked one of its front teeth out as a bit of blood slid down his mouth.
He blasts his magic at you again but twilight jumps in. She projects a shield to counter the blast.
She held up the shield up as Tirek continued with his assault. You had your own set of spells, but it was situations like this where you acknowledged that you needed more training.
‘Shit... this is bad...! Even with our magic combined, the greedy son of a bitch is still this strong...!’ you grunted.
Tirek stops blasting his magic as twilight keeps her shield up. Suddenly without warning you and twilight were blindsided as tirek rushed towards you. His horns pointed outwards as it connected right at the shield. Like a hammer against glass it shattered easily. The force sends you and twilight flying backwards.
Landing on your back, you didn’t have time to get off your ass as you felt the collar of your shirt grabbed. ‘Seriously... Not AGAIN!’ You screamed out as Tirek again tossed you up and over.
You traveled a far distance and tried to cushion the upcoming fall, but... HOW was the question. You ended up landing right on your right shoulder and rolled around a bit as oain course through your whole body.
You groaned as you tried to stand up. “So now I know how a baseball feels...” you panted.
You don't notice that a few feet from where you landed the rest of your lovers plus night and eris see you lying on the ground.
Your ears only rang as everything muffled around. While the pain courses through you don't notice as Tirek appears in front of you.
“DARLING, GET UP!” Rarity screamed out. Doing so was far easier said than done.
“HEY! DON’T YOU BUCKING DARE!" rainbow shouts as she tries to fly straight at tirek but she's stopped as suddenly her wings are chained down.
As you shake the dizziness from your eyes you finally notice as tirek stood over you.
“Ignorant brats...” his eyes glowed with a hungry yellow color. Suddenly a large sword appears from the ground as tirek holds it out.
"I spent centuries locked up because of that bastard I now have the shame of ever referring to as my master. Centuries in that cold dungeon.”
You scooted away as Tirek stomped on one of your legs preventing you from leaving.
You gulped again as tirek holds the weapon over his head as a small smirk spreads on his face.
“I may not have killed those princesses. But I will enjoy killing a king" he holds his weapon right at your head. "NOW DIE!"
Time seems to freeze as you couldn't move at all at the impending blow. You couldn't do anything but…. Close your eyes. You closed your eyes tight awaiting the killing blow.
All your memories of your family, friends, your struggles and hope flow through as the last thing you see is all your foals who you let down. You only hope the future will be kind to them better than yours.
You didn’t know the half of it...
Your body tensed up as your life flashes before your eyes. Tirek smiles as the killing blow was just inches away. But... it never connected.
Just then, you felt something hit your side with commendable force. You flew away just seconds before the blade hit your chest. You flew a few feet away from tirek as even the warlord was shocked at the speed.
Dust fills the air as you groan in pain again. You cough a bit as the dust settles. Once the dust finally settles you look down as you feel something on your stomach.
Once the dust finally settles you were shock as to what was on you. The unknown figure from earlier was on top of you. The figure's armor on the back had a large slash that reached from the right shoulder down to the belt, blood seeping out parts of the armor.
You slowly turn the figure around as most of the front was untouched but the mask had a large crack. You figure the fall must have been to heavy and the mask cracks.
From parts of the glass that was chipped away from the mask you stare into as you stare at the most beautiful eyes.
Somehow deep inside you have seen those eyes before. She stands up as you follow siit
She stumbled and you moved quickly to catch the unknown figure who had saved your life.
“You uh... You okay there?”
The figure tried to move again but couldn't as you ended up falling to the ground. Falling on your lap you again stare at those beautiful eyes. They were indeed female but…. You definitely had seen them before.
Not sure why but you had to be sure. You reach down and with some help from the figure you removed the mask. Once you finally pull off the mask you grew wide eye at who saved you.
"Night?" You said almost in a whisper as your daughter all grown up was lying on your lap after saving you. Her face had so many scars as you rub your fingers against her cheek.
Your heart ache as to what she must have went through to get all these scars. Her eyes are beautiful and yet you can see the pain and hatred deep inside. Your eldest had suffer greatly.
“The future... hasn’t been kind to you has it?” you said.
Night couldn't help but smile as she stares at her father. Ever since she was young she remembers how much her dad loved her and how it broke her when she learned of her parents death. To see her dad's face she smiles as she accomplishes her mission.
she tears up but keeps her grin. “Hi daddy.”
"Night my lil star. What happened to you?" You asked through your chokes as you began to sob at the pain your eldest must have endured.
Night cries too but she rubs your cheek. "It's okay daddy. I did it. I accomplished my mission. the future is safe and I'll be okay"
You shook your head in confusion. " Mission? What mission? What happens in the future, honey?"
You speak out. Suddenly Celestia and Luna appeared just a few feet away Luna rushes over once she sees you. As she grows closer she stops as she sees who you are holding. Luna eyes widen at seeing who is in your arms.
Just like you, Luna easily recognized her pride and joy, regardless of how many years apart she was.
"My lil star… lil filly" Luna covered her mouth in shock as night looked up. More tears welled up as night saw her mother.
“Mother...” her smile brighten
Just as night looks up at her mother her body slowly begins to dissipate. Losing color your daughter starts to fade away in your arms.
You shook your head again. “Oh no. No no no no no! Night stay with me! PLEASE!”
“It’s futile...” she gasped. “He damaged... my time travel belt... It’s... the only thing keeping me tied to the past...”
You tried to give her a bit of your magic but she stopped your hand. Instead she places her hand on your forehead. Her magic flows in as if you were hit by some sort of spell. You remember from twilight's studies that certain memory spells give the users a glimpse of their life before as it helps those in the field of psychiatry a chance to help them recuperate but this takes years and lots of magic. Time and magic night had plenty to learn.
You had been right. The future has been cruel to your daughter. You saw EVERYTHING. How she was forced to watch you, her mother, and her siblings die. How Wolf and Jade took her in. How she endured terrible training to harden herself in an apocalyptic world.
You learned everything... All of it was Tirek and the rogue militia’s fault.
She casted the same memory spell on her mother next and once it was over, the future Nocturnal Night smiled again as she continued to flicker and dissipate.
“Thank you... All my life... I’ve dreamt of one day seeing you two again...” She turned to Luna, who got down on her knees beside you. Holding your daughter's hand, you gripped it tight as she faded further and further.
“Don’t worry... I’ll be okay knowing you guys are with me...” She reached out and rubbed both her mother’s cheek and yours. “And when I wake up again... I know it’ll be to a future worth living through... See you tomorrow...”
She finally goes limp as you and Luna watch your eldest disappear. You and Luna began to cry as your eldest turns to sparkles and flies off.
‘See you tomorrow...’ you repeated Night’s last words in your mind.
“Blah! How boring. Mother and father…. Side by side watching their little foal die in their arms. It's so revolting,” Tirek spat at you. “I outgrew parental attachment centuries ago! That’s how I got to where I am today! Now then...”
Walking up you and Luna dont move as he holds his swords out. "Now that the reunion is over I’ll kill both of you and the equestrian magic along with the world will be MINE! I’LL CREATE MY OWN FUTURE!”
He swings his sword at you as he awaits his killing blow. To bad he messed up big time
Somehow you don't know or can't explain it but you felt something burning inside you. This strange burning sensation courses through as you can't control your body anymore. Without warning you stopped tireks sword slash with your forearm.
Tirek's smile quickly turns to a frown as you stop his blade with ease. You then push the blade away as you are first to stand.
A dark aura manifested around you, complete with circling black clouds. You had no control as this fury... yes... fury rushed through you. Your hair covered your face, but once you showed your face to Tirek, he finally wiped that smug expression in a matter of seconds. If the unknown magic didn’t disturb him, then your face did.
Engulfed in the black smoke your face changed as two red with black and yellow eris shine in your eyes, your teeth bared out as they were replaced to look more carnivores than your normal eyes. Your hair almost began to smoke it turns ash black with the tips looking like ember tips.Tears still slide down your face as you stare with rage.
‘How... How is this possible?’ Tirek questioned the level of magic the human he had been beating to a pulp no more than five minutes ago had brought out. “This magic... Such a delicious scent...”
Although your own magic got Tirek drooling, he had almost forgotten about the remaining raging parent, who stood up and felt her magic coming back to her on the account of her future daughter’s demise.. All around Luna, an icy cold feeling spreads all around her. The ground, flowers and even where Tirek stood started to freeze and he could see his breath even though the weather was supposed to be warm and sunny today.
Looking at Luna, she too had red pinprick eyes glowing as this new magic feeling coursed through. A gloomy freezing spread around as both parents stare at the centaur warlord.
“That’s the way...” the centaur who was still starving for magic muttered and flashed his fangs. He had succeeded in forcing out your strongest magic. “COME AT ME ALREADY!”
You released a loud howl like a wild animal. Even getting on all fours you charge at him. Luna more tamed then you rushes beside you.
Rushing at him tirek raises his weapon and slashes it at you.
Tirek barely manages to strike as you did the impossible. Just as the blade hit your face you were a lot quicker to react.
Opening your mouth you catch the blade in your teeth. tirek watches in horror as you were face to face with the centaur, the bladed weapon in your teeth as you stare down at the bastard.
With some force you didn't know you had in you snapped the blade with your teeth.
‘Oh buck... this thing... What in Tartarus am I facing now?’ Tirek questions himself as he stares at the demon in front of him. He was starting to lose his confidence. It didn't even help as Luna joins in delivering the first punch
*meanwhile back in Ponyville*
Back to Blueblood and titan he kept his cool as the fight rage on
Aside from Tirek, Blueblood, too, felt the horrible magic in the end as he continued fighting the stone manipulating minotaur, Titan. Blueblood didn't let the bastard get his way as new agility and strength were nothing like his old self was.
Jade also sensed the high level of dark magic as she bled before Sloth. Unlike either Titan, Malik, or Bane, Sloth, unfortunately, was no pushover. Jade was already out of breath and had only managed to inflict minor damage to the cybernetic diamond dog’s steel-hard body.
As for Wolf, he was busy trying to keep the terrorists who were so desperate to take over at bay when he felt the strange new magic. It literally made his fur stand up and he knew that it belonged to the human.
Back to you and tirek he barely manages to dodge the onslaught attacks between the creature and the lunar alicorn.
You howled again. Your speed seemed to increase with each passing minute, as did your anger. Before you knew it, you appeared in front of the huge centaur and slashed across his face hard enough to draw blood and make him yell. He grabbed his face, but when he decided to lower his hand you all saw that his left eye was useless to him now as he sported four new claw marks down the area.
“BASTARD!" he screams out enraged as you licked your fingers. This new form of ferocity terrified you.
Just as you were about to go for the neck next you immediately were stopped, you felt something wrapped around your throat as you were forced to stay in position. You can feel your magic starting to drain but it did not phase you.
“Better late than never... Caesar...” Tirek breathed out. From behind the enormous centaur’s legs stepped out the last... and strongest of the six warriors who pledged themselves to Tirek’s name.
Caesar unlike his other subordinates he was the only a unicorn though despite his size he was the strongest of them all. His curved horn was unique as compared to his black robes which was embedded with various runes to help with his magic
A lone cigarette in his mouth as he takes a puff from his smoke.
As you tried to break the chains Luna joins in the assault only for her to chained.
Draining your magic, Tirek can feel the magic
“A puppy needs to be kept on their leash,” Caesar scoffed. “Although, I’ll confess it’s a drag to keep such a wild beast detained with their magic being beyond anything I’ve seen before.”
You sturggled as ceasar tries to keep you remain. But this relentless pursuit made it difficult to keep him restrained.
"Damned he's like a rabbit animal" caesar grunts as he tries to keep you settled.
“BEHAVE!” He conjured a new chain and brought it down right on top of your back. It was beyond a normal chain, and actually created a small explosion as it hit you. However as the smoke settles you didn't stopped.
Even as tirek absorb more magic the level of rage….. it wasn't anything he ever seen. Even the creatures in tarturas didn't have the level of fury you possess
Ceasar tries to use more chains as he chains your wings though both were broken from battle you didn't even held back. pulling tighter ceasar struggles as you tried to break free.
“YOU FOOL! AT THIS RATE YOU’LL RIP YOUR OWN WINGS OFF!" caesar warned as he puts more effort holding you back.
You responded with a loud roar. The roar sounded as everyone around heard you. It travels for miles as those in town can hear it.
You let out another roar as the feeling of your wings dislocated did not once stop you. You finally roar again before with one sharp yank you did it.
Blood and bits of your feathers flew out as everyone watch in horror as to what you have done.
You ripped your own wings off.
Caesar dropped his own smoke in horror as his eyes were widen to the fullest. Even tirek gasps and stutters at the sight. They weren't staring at a king or a monkey anymore. He was far from that.
“This monkey, my lord... is a true monster...”
Losing focus the chains finally stopped as you charged again.
*back to Ponyville*
“HA! You can feel it, can’t you slug?!” Titan gloated, pounding his fists again. Of course, he was referring to how the dark magic they felt was getting weaker. “I wouldn’t be surprised if that means Caesar has decided to show up! I’ll admit while he’s not nearly as handsome a warrior as I am, he’s the strongest us! Fate is just showing you that it’s Lord Tirek’s destiny to cleanse the filth in this land and make a trophy out of monkey you call a king!”
He slammed his fists into the ground to take control of the earthen materials again. Specifically, the ground around Blueblood’s legs rose up to his knees, trapping him in place. That wasn’t all — Blueblood could feel his magical power being sucked out through the restraints, while Titan’s own magical energy was rising off the charts. No doubt the minotaur traitor was making the preparations for this strongest attack.
“TAKE THIS SLUG!!” Raising his hands, a colossal boulder that made Blueblood look like a puppy in comparison.
Blueblood sighs as he had enough of this. Flexing his arms a bit he forces himself out of the leg hold. Despite his magic being evenly match with the minotaur he also made sure he was physically capable of facing the odds. Magical power was really overrated these days.
Once he free himself Blueblood concentrates his inner strength. After months working with the monks that reside near the Himalama Mountains, he found his inner core. Unlocking it took months upon years of concentration and now he going to show this bastard his new self.
As the boulder barrels right at Blueblood he doesn't move as it was near inches at his head. Time seems to slow down as Blueblood gets into a fighting stance.
Right as he got in his stance, the blue phoenix swirls around him, it absorbed into his body before Blueblood opened his eyes.
Using his new strength he strikes several points on the boulder. The boulder cracks and breaks each strike before one more pressure break seals the deal.
With one more strike the boulder breaks into many large pieces. The force of the unicorn against the large earth boulder sends it straight back to the titan.
Titian watches in shock and horror as the boulder he sent right out is coming back in pieces. He doesn't react as the shock forces him to take each pieces. The force of the pieces causes titans bones to break as titan only screams in pain from each hit. Ribs, legs, arms and his horns broke with ease as the final piece barrels down hitting straight in the head. The force was so powerful his neck snapped back breaking it
Titan falls down as Blueblood sighs and dusts himself off.
“I don’t care if somepony insults me, but if even one nasty comment is directed at the man who saved my life, I won’t forgive them!” he declared. His faithful pet phoenix, Cecilia, finally found it safe to perch back on his shoulder.
“Sorry for worrying you like that, girl. Let’s get moving.” Blueblood smiled as he ran through town, hoping to find you before it’s too late.
*Jade vs Sloth POV*
Jade was slammed into the wall as Sloth continued taking her time in tormenting her. This diamond dog, enhanced by the power of Tartarus science, was one of the strongest opponents she’s ever fought. She hasn’t been fighting her alone, either, as lying around her were several of her most loyal associates in the royal army. Many of them panting from the chances Sloth found to snatch their magic during the fight.
Speaking of which, Jade, whose eyes were getting blurry from the exhaustion and pain, almost didn’t trust her own instincts when she felt the incredible magic begin to drop. However, she found reason to believe what she was feeling when Sloth laughed and said what she did.
“You sure did pick a wimpy bastard to follow, girl,” she scoffed. “I’ve officially found another reason to be glad that I abandoned my hopes of a future with you shitty ponies.”
“Though, I suppose I should give a pegasus like yourself at least a little credit. For all the time you’ve wasted in this backwater kingdom, you’ve built up some remarkable muscle in that pitiful frame of yours, but... I can’t feel it.”
Proving her point, several of Jade Star’s favorite weapons had been smashed against Sloth’s body, which was as strong as steel from all those cybernetic experiments. However, Jade wasn’t vulnerable, nor was she ready to give up especially after hearing Sloth get cocky and insult her king and her homeland.
“You... f@cking... BITCH!!” Jade lost all restraint and equipped her trusty gauntlet to her right hand, and Sloth stayed still and confident as her bat pony rival delivered a solid punch across her cheek.
However, despite how strong and reliable her weapons could be, Sloth didn’t show much pain in the punch. She didn't even react as she spat two of her teeth out.
"I'm through playing games" sloth seeth in anger.
Her eyes suddenly glowed red and she grabbed the arm Jade just punched her with and...
CRACK!
Jade felt the force of the punch as she now was grunting in pain. She pulls back as she didn't need to be told. Her gauntlet falls off as she examines her hand. Yup she sees it.
Her arm was broken.
"Dammit knew it was bound to happen" jade grunts holding her broken arm.
If that wasn’t enough, Sloth flashed her fangs in a sadistic smile and activated one of her many devices to send a strong current of electricity through Jade’s body, making her scream.
“I don’t know what happened to my other associates, but after Caesar, I’m the strongest soldier that Lord Tirek has. What can you expect to do with such a mangled body running on so little magic?”
Jade groans but refuses to fall as she kept her stance. Despite the little magic she has she does have something. Something she doesn't use often and is happy to see.
"I may not have my magic or my weapons but….. you forget I have something else in mind" jade smirks as the diamond dog stares at her in confusion.
"Oh really…. Pray tell what could you possibly have" sloth questions the captain.
“Why don’t you turn around and see?!” Sloth’s ears perked up and she turned around to get a good look at the miraculous sight of the royal pegasi guards having forced themselves to stand back up. But that wasn’t all.(you can do the honors of describing how they create a thunder cloud)
Despite their magic being too limited their will power to continue the fight stays strong. Using the last bit of magic they stored it in one of the largest clouds they could control.
While most clouds are easy to control this one had to extra careful as the thunder cloud lets out several sparks out. This cloud was far too powerful for the pegasus to handle and yet they kept pushing it right towards their target.
Fear actually showed on Sloth’s face when she realized what they were up to. “I DON’T THINK SO!” She opened her mouth, which glowed bright as she fired a powerful laser at the pegasi, but it was too late, as they already did their part and tossed the cloud over to Jade
Using their own strength they push it will all the force, the electricity courses through as both pegasi fell as the cloud flies close to their target.
Once the thunder cloud was over sloth fails to notice as jade hovers overhead. Using the last bit of strength she pulls her leg close and aims on target.
“J-Jade..! WAIT! WAIT!!!” she begged, but to no avail.
With one solid double kick she sends a large bolt of lightning barreling down at sloth. The speed of the bolt was to fast for sloth to move as in instant the bolt slams right on the diamond dogs chest. Thousand of watts of pure magical electricity courses through, frying the circuits in the cybernetic body Sloth had been so proud of.
Circuits and wires fried from the unstable current as several of the limbs short fused and pop. The bolts current was so powerful as the heat of the bolt burns through as the metal in her chest cavity began to melt. Not long after, the bolt burns right through her chest. Inside her only living organ her heart implodes from the amount of electricity coursing through.
Jade finally descends as she watches the cybernetic diamond dog body spark and parts explode. She sighs as the sacrifices of the guards who were disintegrated by Sloth’s laser in their attempt to bring who brought the cloud weren't in vain.
Once the bolt was finished the rest of the diamond dogs body caught fire, leaving the traitor burning jade covers her eyes as another explosion occurs in the head as the rest of the body charred.
Jade sighs. "I need a vacation after this"
*Your pov again*
After losing your wings your new found strength was truly terrifying as you didn't feel any pain at all like nothing would keep you from hunting and killing the bastard.
You do turn your focus on his last subordinate as you swap between both targets. Caesar manages to dodge your attacks as he tries to hold you down and absorb more of your new magic. He finally stops you as one of his chains wrapping around your neck.
“I already told you once to behave in front of Lord Tirek!” Creating another chain, he whipped you across the face.
Tirek crossed his arms. “Very good Caesar. But we’ve entertained such trash long enough. Show them EXACTLY what you can do.”
Gaining some distance with a couple of fancy backflips, Caesar took one last puff of his cigarette before he threw it away and lit his horn. Even in this rage-filled transformation, you could feel how ridiculously high his magic was. As could Luna.
‘Something is coming...!’ your wife told you through telepathy.
Holding his hands out, a bright light flashed between his fingers as it seemed like he was creating another chain. With a loud yell, another light erupted from the end of the chain and Caesar summoned what looked like a huge spinning top covered with blades.
The wind began to pick up as the spinning blade top headed your way, ripping the ground apart as it moved.
You growled in pure rage as the large weapon barrels down at you. Deep inside your subconscious you can hear a small voice echoes in your ears. Everything seems to stopped as the voice grew louder before you finally heard it clear.
'DAMMIT DO I HAVE DO SAVE YOUR SORRY ASS EVERY TIME!' the voice screams as the large killer machine was near inches from you.
In instant the machine stops suddenly as something collides against it. You looked up as the ripper machine suddenly breaks and bends as pieces of it tore apart from something.
Caesar who was smiling triumphantly as his special weapon would end this monsters life immediately turns wide eyed as his weapon was being destroyed by something. The force breaks his new weapon so much it didn't even stop it as a bright light flashes before it swipes pass Caesar. He clutched his side, as it ripped open, leaving a nasty gash in his right arm.
"How is that possible?" Tirek questions himself as he remembers how deadly and indestructible his attack was. Not even the strongest spell could stop it once he unleashed it
“No matter, my lord,” Caesar stood back up, managing to smile despite the nasty wound in his arm. “Look at them, they’re at their limit already. The next attack won’t miss.”
*Eris’ POV*
The goddess of chaos had witnessed what just happened. Oh, how she felt like the biggest fool in all the land as she looked down at the so-called ‘gift’ Tirek had bestowed her in exchange for her service. A necklace that the power-hungry warlord had claimed was a source of great importance since it was given to him by his brother, Scorpan.
She gripped the necklace, thinking back to what the future Nocturnal Night had said. She didn’t need any more proof to know that Tirek had been lying about how important the necklace was. And even though Night didn’t use any memory spells on the draconequus before she perished, Eris understood if that mare never showed up, she never would have realized how much the centaur had manipulated her into taking the elements’ decision to reform her for granted.
*back to you*
You and Luna were panting heavily. You didn’t understand the miracle that made it possible to stop such a ridiculous attack, but as Caesar had said, you were reaching your limit. The unicorn wasn’t done yet as he lit his horn once more — this light was somehow even brighter than the last and supported his claim of how the next attack would be a sure-kill.
His horn almost appeared to melt as he held his hands up again. With another burst of light, another set of chains emerged connected to an enormous spinning blade apparatus that was even bigger than the last.
Tirek chuckled as his strongest subordinate sat on his shoulder. He had a perfect view of you collapsing to your knees, unable to move anymore as the weapon closed in on you.
"Finally it's over. Your time is finally done monster" tirek laughs finally happy it will be over
Or at least that’s what Tirek thought.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU BASTARD!" eris shouts out.
You didn't notice as eris appears beside you using her magic she snaps her fingers. Without a trace the large weapon disappears in front of them.
"WHAT?!" Caesar and tirek both scream out as Eris stands in front of them now done with their so-called new order.
You were still growling in anger as your magic slowly subsides and you slowly regain control. You look up as eris pants a bit as she had to use a lot of her magic to send the attack away.
.
As the dust settles eris lowers her hand as Caesar only stares dumbfounded at what just happened. Both attacks were easily counter as never would he imagine this happening before.
“ERIS! HOW DARE YOU! WE HAD A DEAL-” Caesar wished to say more, but only a light gasp escaped his lips as eris appears in front of him.
She reaches and grabs him by the neck. Caesar gasps as the goddess of Chaos is surprisingly strong despite her frame.
"So you like to show off…. Let me show you my magic then"
"Wait wait" Caesar tries to speak through her grip. "We had deal."
Eris ponders as she remembers the deal of her help for tireks friendship but….. after what's happened. She decided to revoke the deal.
"Buck the deal... You're dead to me..." Conjuring a portal, Eris dragged Caesar inside.
Upon entering the portal Caesar can feel like his whole body being pulled as eris and Caesar fell through.
Already in seconds he can feel his joints straining to their point as eris smiles.
"Oh did I forget. My kind has always been able to jump through these portals. It's our way of visiting new worlds and seek new ways of mischief." They fell further as Caesar starts to scream at the intense force around him.
"However when it comes to other mortals sometimes….. their bodies can't handle to force the portals give out." Eris smiles as in seconds Caesars arms were ripped out.
He screams out as eris travel further through. The ride only lasts a few seconds before eris finally returns.
By the time she returns you had regain your senses as Luna helps you up. Celestia helps to stabilize the bleeding from your wings being ripped out but once she sees they weren't bleeding she still helps you out.
Until now, Celestia had been watching from the side, but could only watch intensely as both you and Luna went berserk. She knows her sister has had a temper before but this...
‘Have you gotten even stronger than me, dear sister?’
She then turned to her lover. She had mixed feelings about you. Part of her felt happy you were safe but at the same time she was horrified on your anger. This wasn't something she's seen you this anger. This uncomfortable anger was out of this world as you were an animal.
"I'd need to keep an eye of my lover once this is over '' Celestia mumurs to herself. She then kissed your cheek.
Once you were glad to see the princesses safe you turn to see eris who had returned. she had some blood splatter on her clothes but it's what I'm her hand that surprised you most.
Tirek watches in horror as eris holds his subordinate or what's left of him in her hand.
Holding the head up she smiles. "Is there a pub near by?" She mimics the head to talk with her magic.
"I don't know you thirst?" She asks the head.
"Yeah I feel all torn up" she mimics the head and laughs a bit.
You looked at her with an annoyed look on your face. 'seriously eris' your lovers joined in before you all turned to tirek.
An angry aura erupted around Tirek as he examined his situation. Bane’s head had been blown off. Angel’s face had been frozen and smashed. Malik had his brains shot out. Titan had been crushed by his own boulders. Sloth had been blown up from the inside. And finally, his strongest soldier, Caesar, had been completely torn apart by the very draconequus they made an alliance with. All six of his subordinates who had served him over the centuries had been soundly defeated.
“YOU BASTARDS DESTROYED EVERYTHING!” His magic grew as the ground around him began to shake.
Twilight who after being chained up during the fight was finally able to break free once the binds loosen. She arrives just as tirek charges for another attack. You quickly dodged it as your lovers all watched you face the large demon tyrant.
Still have some energy to keep going you and tirek continue to fight as twilight watches you and tirek face off.
"It's no use no matter how much we fight he's still to powerful"
Twilight sighs as she tries to think of something to help you as already you are too worn out to keep this out.
Seeing the destruction and chaos she has caused for everyone, Eris walks over to twilight. With what she has done, twilight lit up her horn fearing for what eris had planned, the blood she was coated didn't help ease her worry.
She walks over as she pulls the necklace she was given by tirek. She remembers the necklace was from tireks brother however given tireks ways and how he sounded to his family it shows he doesn't care anyone no matter if family or friends. He only cares about himself nothing more.
Once she removes the necklace she hands it to twilight. "Twilight I am the last creature who should be asking this but…… I really thought I could…. Change tirek….. try what you all been trying to teach me" she sighs holding the necklace.
"I was wrong. And….. I'm sorry. I can ask if you can forgive me"
She hands twilight the necklace as she hope after everything she can be forgiven if not she knows she deserves none. She only can hold on a miracle.
After everything that has happened, her siding with tirek on helping in taking all of Equestrias magic, betraying the princess and even betray her only friend twilight had mix thoughts of everything that has happened.
It might have been her imagination, but she could have sworn that a bunch of colors invaded her vision in a split second as she processed Eris’ sincere apology. One of the most important areas of the magic of friendship... was forgiveness.
"Eris….. despite what happened….. I should be angry…. In fact I'm more than that after what you caused." Twilight admits as Eris holds her head down.
"But….. you are right you had somewhat good intentions but…. I do forgive you hoping you forgive me for doubting you" twilight smiles causing eris to look up.
Seeing and hearing twilight forgive her they finally noticed a strange glow coming from the necklace.
Seeing the rainbow glow twilight realize what she was holding. It was the final key piece. She then remembered the chest she had store in her ruined home.
"Girls, I think I know how to defeat tirek. Go and get your pieces and meet me back here" twilight shouts out as everyone agrees. Twilight turns to you as you are still facing tirek.
"KEEP HIM BUSY FOR A LITTLE BIT LONGER"
You tried your best to respond as tirek tries his best to try and end your miserable life.
"JUST HURRY!" you scream out as the mane 6 left to grab their items.
Coming back just a few more minutes the mane 6 brought in the items they had with.
For rarity she brought in the rainbow spool she gotten from the fashion contest in Manehattan, for Applejack the bit she earned, a rubber chicken named boneless pinkie pie was given to her new friend cheese sandwich. Rainbow dash brought in the wonderbolt pin she cherished, for shy she brought the small flower she was given from the breezies, and finally twilight brings out the necklace eris had given her.
With the item that helped them understand how important their elements represent each item turns into a rainbow like pattern before all the items turn into keys.
With little time to argue they finally opened the box. As they open the magic inside a large rainbow flowed out as it engulfed the mane 6 in its magic.
Back to you were able to handle tirek but you already felt weak from everything.
Tirek finally smiles as you were feeling tired however he stops as a large wave of pure magic stops him. The magic was so beautiful you awed in amazement. You can feel some of the magic course through you as you turn to 6 beings floating overhead.
"Whoa that's new?" You stared in amazement as the mane 6 all had unique transformation. Their manes were larger as on their limbs have small cutie marks on each limb. Their outfits also were more beautiful as their new magic flowed out
Tirek, already tired of everything, could only throw a few more blasts; however , nothing seemed to work as the mane 6 used their new magic.
In one last heated moment the mane 6 use their new magic against the tyrant. He couldn’t believe how fast everything changed as that huge rainbow dropped out of the sky.
The magic they had flows into you as you can feel your body regain its strength. You can feel the magic flow through as you floated up in the air. Even though your wings are gone you were can still feel like your wings are still there. You floated up in the air as the mane 6 worked on removing all the magic tirek had token.
Quickly the magic tirek had stolen returns to the ponies as you watch them fly back to their original user.
Once the magic has fully been removed you can see the centaur turn into a frailed old centaur as you still had a bone to pick with the bastard.
"Hey bastard. I got a present for you" you swooped down as you dive bomb right at the bastard.
“No.. I can’t tolerate this... I will NOT stand for this...!” The centaur, frail old and hungry once again, tried to crawl away.
"OH SHUT UP!" Without holding back you divebomb straight down as you extended one of your legs at on target.
Flying kick right at tireks face your foot connects right against his cheek, teeth and blood spilled out as the kick sends you several feet into the ground. The force causes him to create a crater. You landed a few feet as you slowly walk towards the defeated centaur.
He tried once again to crawl away, too exhausted by this point to attempt to suck your magic again. “I.. I can’t let it end here... I’m the one who will overthrow Grogar... I’m the one who will inherit everything... That’s MY destiny!”
While you continued beating the shriveled shell of a centaur, the mane six and the royal sisters looked at the chest that had unleashed such an incredible source of power in its tiny form. The show wasn’t over yet, as they watched as the chest sank into the ground after that beautiful rainbow magic returned to where it came from. Just a few seconds later, they watched as in place of the sinking chest, what came out of the ground was a castle of crystal, not unlike the ones in the Crystal Empire.
As the dust started to settle he glanced back, he is now the one cowering as you still had the rage look in his eye. After everything he has caused and would have caused in the future you had just enough. You extended your arm out as you know you had a weapon ready to finally end his miserable life.
Instantly tirek watches as something flies by as the human catches it. He now knows what stopped the first ripper attack Caesar made as the golden blade shines from the sunlight.
'now I know….. he isn't just a monster. He's a true devil' tirek tries to crawl away as you twirl your weapon as it was your turn.
Just as you were about to raise your weapon you were stopped.
He was still injured compliments of Malik, but Wolf had arrived just in time to see the carnage and stop you from giving anything more to your hatred.
"Hey now….. easy there." Wolf stops you as he puts himself in front of you and your target.
"Wolf get out of the way. He deserves to die after everything he's caused" you tried to move around but wolf keeps you away.
“I know that... but not in this condition...” he argued.
He begins to explain on your rage is to out of control and if you start he'd end up like Nero or maybe worse. He knows how rage can affect judgment and he doesn't want you to fall through the rabbit hole. Once he does he tells you won't be coming back.
“FOOLS!” Tirek yelled as loud as his weak lungs would allow. “I am the great Lord Tirek! My legacy will NOT end like this!”
You and wolf ignore him as you finally regain some sense. Tears do fall but wolf comforts you.
"It's over…. Even a soldier knows when it's over and to lower their anger of war" wolf states
Tirek coughs a bit more blood causing both wolf and you to turn to the defeated tyrant.
You looked at each other as wolf sighs. "listen. Let me take care of him. I still got the energy to continue and you need to rest now. To much blood already been shed today and more will come. So please." Wolf persuade you to give him the kill.
You took a deep breath as you all turned to the asshole tyrant.
“You talked up a big game only to lose all that magic you stole in the end,” you stated, smirking now that you were finally calm again. “I wanted to kill you before, but now I’m satisfied to know that you’re already beaten.” You stated
"It’s over Tirek. You're going back to Tartarus, where I’m sure Grogar is waiting to demote you even further.
"Actually….. he's coming with me!"
You and wolf ready your weapons after hearing that deep unknown voice echo in the air.
Suddenly a large black vortex erupts out a few inches where you and wolf stood. You both ready yourselves as a figure walks out from the vortex.
The figure dressed in black cloak as his hood covered his face.
Seeing his clothes you recognize the figure from the past. He was there with your father when the tree of harmony was first made. Wolf was a bit confused as he holds his rifle right at the bastard. Tirek out of the rest was far more terrified then the rest.
“That was quite a show you all put on. Though, I knew the whole time Tirek here wouldn’t get far with his hungry ambitions,” the figure laughed and clapped.
"Who are you?" You demanded as the air around him felt more tense the further he draws close. Even tirek was shaking as he walks towards him.
The cloak figure laughs a bit.
“just an old friend of your father”
'my father. Then he has to be' you contemplate on the idea as if this cloak figure knew your father then….. he's older then the princesses. How is that possible you wonder.
"How you know my father. I thought only alicorns can live for thousands of years"
The figure shakes his head. "Oh my boy….. this world has more secrets then you'll ever know." He turns to tirek as he draws closer.
"Now then I've come to collect what's mine" he states as tirek shakes in fear. He truly had been reduced a shell of his former glory. Nopony would believe at first glance that this shivering centaur, now devoid of any magical power, is the ambitious psychopath whose lust for power made it impossible for him to think twice about betraying his own kingdom.
However his reaction to seeing this guy was way different than when he was facing you or the princesses.
"Where do you plan on taking him?" You demanded. Still a bit skeptical on this figure's true intentions.
Just as you demanded the mane 6 and the princesses finally showed up. They see you and wolf holding your weapons out as tirek lays trembling. They turn to the cloak figure you, wolf and tirek were talking too
Celestia felt a clot in her throat as she stared pinprick at the figure. Chills spread down her spine as she recognized the figure.
The figure sighs as he turns to you and wolf, he doesn't flinch as he stares down the barrel of wolf's weapon.
"Well tirek here has been a thorn on my side for centuries. Me and my associate's have special prison just for him. It's punishment for his crimes"
"Crimes?!" Tirek shouts enraged. "You monster"
The figure sighs. "See…. His kind has always been so rude. Truly disgusting creatures aren't they. Worst then dragons if I say" he laughs a bit.
"AT LEAST THEY ARE ALIVE YOU WIPED OUT MY WHOLE HOMELAND!" tirek screams out.
"Wait….. what" you said in both shock and confusion.
Wolf leans in. "Yeah I heard from others. stories say that in a single day centuries ago the nation of centurion was wiped out. Nobody knows to this day how.
You gasped a bit as you turn to the figure.
He laughs. "Yeah I remember. It was so much easy to wipe out such a pathetic race. Your parents begging for their lives. Even your own brother begged for to spare you" the figure laughs sends shivers down your spine.
Despite who tirek was you couldn't believe what you were hearing. 'the hell? What sicko wipes out an entire race city.'
The figure laughs turned almost maniacal as he holds his hand out. Just as his hand was raised you see something begins to swirl around it. How whole body grew a black mist as this magic….. you can't describe how dark and tense the magic was radiating from him.
A blue mist swirls on his hand as he holds his hand out. Despite how far you are inside the mist you can clearly see inside several faces.
The faces looked like they are in pain as their mouths extended out as though their jaws were broken, the eyes were blank and empty as nothing but black holes showed within.
"Your family were fools. Don't worry you'll be joining soon"
Enraged tirek somehow musters up the courage and strength as he tries to strike the figure. You were a bit surprised at tirek sudden burst of energy as he lunges at the cloak figure.
Just as tirek was inches from the figure you were blindsided as tirek in seconds flew back, flying several feet he lets out a loud wail of pain.
You wonder what the hell just happened, almost instantly you see why tirek was screaming in pain. His right arm was torn off.
Bleeding profusely you turn to the stranger who now was holding the tyrants severed arm.
"Come now tirek…. You are such a pathetic creature"
Tirek tries to crawl with his other arm only for the figure to stop him. In Appearing in front of the fallen tyrant tirek gasps as the stranger holds tirek by the neck. picking the tyrant up in the air he flails and struggles as the stranger holds him up.
You growled as tirek is your kill and this bastard isn't going to be the one to kill him. You rush forward not caring who you are facing. More into wanting to take out tirek first before him.
Wolf tries to stop you as you were already close to the cloak figure. Before you could strike you were suddenly stopped. You couldn't move your limbs like the figure…… holds you in place. You tried to move your head down as you felt something lightly pressed against your chest.
Looking down you stare intensely as you stare at what is preventing you from moving
Using one finger you see the figure doesn't do anything but hold you in place.
The figure face still is difficult to see but you could see something glowing inside. A single purple iris glows as the figure turns to you.
"Please human. Let the grown ups do their business" putting he balls two fingers in and in one flick motion you were sent flying.
The force knocks the wind out of you as you roll away from the figure you catch yourself as you try to regain your breathing. The force of your ribs weren't broken after the fight with tirek and his subordinates then they are now.
'who the hell is this guy' you groan as the pain slowly subsides. Still you were determined to fight. Once you were able to stand you twirl your axe before tossing it right at the hooded figure.
Your weapon twirls right at the stranger but like your first attack it didn't do much. Without even connecting the strangers head it bounces back as it flies away from your sight.
You were shock as even your weapon didn't do much. The stranger lets out a sigh as he lets go of tirek.
"I'll deal with you later." The figure turns to you as suddenly he disappears.
You scan your surroundings for the stranger. You call the axe as it returns to your hand.
"Where he'd go?" You wonder.
"Right behind you" a voice echoes behind startling you.
You quickly turn around as the hooded figure now was right behind you. You notice as he too was armed.
Holding a large scythe you were captivated at how sinister and at the same time mesmerized.
The shaft has a few scrolls wrapped around them as it glowed a light blue color, the blade looked well crafted as and sharp to the touch. The whole thing let out a blast of mist as the figure held it up.
You watch intensely as the figure wastes no time in showing off his weapon. You had to jump away as the figure with one swift swipe of his weapon a light purple wave appears from the slash.
You were able to dodge the slash as you stood ready. You were glad to dodge the attack as your family sigh in relief at your quick reflex's.
"Sorry guess I'm a lot faster than I lo-" you tried to boast on your reflexes, why you're not sure why but your boasting immediately shuts down.
You stopped as you hear from behind as a large rumbling echoed in the distance. Your family all stare in pure horror as to what's happening behind you, even wolf was shocked at what's happening.
You finally turn around to what they've been staring at. Once you see what's happening you too shook in fear.
One of the large equestrian mountains, one of the top parts slowly slide off. Like some slicing a wood with a katana you see the top of the mountain lose a portion of it's mass.
You turn back to stranger who only twirls his scythe before slamming the back hilt to the ground, the force causes the ground to crack.
This level of magic this stranger was off the charts even the princesses were stunned to what this one individual can do. Your voice felt strain as you felt the clot build up in your throat. You muster the courage to speak up.
"What are you?" You speak in a terrified tone.
The stranger lowers his head but he speaks. "Our names is not in you so called books, we are true rulers of this world. We are the skies above, the earth below, the seas and the magic that flows across."
He looks up as suddenly more portals appear behind before more Cloak figures appear all in different sizes.
“You have your elements of harmony……. But we….. are the elements of fate” the figure in the middle speaks up.
"Elements of fate?" You question on the name before your attention was capture as they surrounded tirek. By now tirek had again try to crawl away but it proves futile as they surrounded him
You watch as the figures surround him before a light glow forms around tirek, followed by a loud scream of agony. The magic lasts a few seconds as the leader walks forward.
In hand you can see a small orb with a red glow in the middle. Behind him you see a glimpse of tirek or better yet what's left of him. Nothing but a shriveled up old corpse. Tireks eyes looked like they were ripped out as nothing but black spots in his eyes. Tireks body suddenly turns into ashes as all that remains is the pile of ashes and that orb the leader is holding.
He pockets the orb into his robe and bows. "Well this day was….. eventful. Thank you for helping me out. I guess you are my friend's son."
"You….." you wanted to speak up as you had so many questions but he ignores you. He turns his attention to wolf who held his rifle out.
Wolf who held his rifle out as he was ready to fire, despite seeing him slice off a mountain wolf showed no fear as both him and the stranger stared down.
The figure doesn't move for a few seconds before another portal appears behind him. Holding his hand out he gestures at wolf.
“espero verte de nuevo……. nieto” the stranger speaks out before disappearing through the portal
