Fallen Valkyrie

And with thet our adventurers gone to sleep. Morning sun have risen slowly over this lifeless town. It also reviled couple of centimetres of cold, white snow. Sky was clear and sun could be seen ower the white planes, but even so it was not giving anny warmth to our adventurers or anny other residets of this strange Island.

Tyars and Blizzard contineu to hit the shild with there mighry swings and becauae of this, Scarlet was un able to hear what our heroes were planing, even so they were talking about there plans in a normal voice just a couple of metars away from here. But even so she could not hear there voice she could see there mouth moving, she waa not good at reading the words from the lips so she could not understend noting from there planing. But this made here even more angry. "You know, it is roude to whusper in company!!" she said to our heroes.

Ticktock charged his wind atack, and after small delay in casti it. Wind started to pick up in the room, but insted of destrying the litle robot, this atack stoped the robot from projecting the hologram and now this robot become juat another useless thing thet was drawing energe from main generator thet was under Scarlet shiled. Tyra and Blizzard charged towered the main generator thet was found under Scarlets shield. This two were not able to pass true the shield, and so the moment they reached the shield they atacked it in a way they planed to atack the generator. Tyra gone beserker on it, and Blizzard kicked it. This atack did not show much hints of been succesful. "Just give up allready." Scarlet said to Tyra and Blizzard.

Blizzards boomerang glided true the air towered one of remaining two robots, but because this wepon was wery similar to onces Radiant used , robot simply moved and dodged it with easy and after thet he contineu to power up the hologram. But unlike Radiant flying wepons, Blizzard boomerang revarsed its projectory and started heading backwords, this time it was sucesfull and it destoryed one more robot. Blizzard boomerang started to slowly melt, and because of thet when it destoryed the robot his boomerang got charged with electirsty. And like thet, big cold electifid projector it contineu to fly backwords towered our heroes. Our heroes were sucefull in stoping most of Scarlet's holograms and now onli one had remaind, and like this it was almost imposible for him to raise temperature of the room all on its own. Scarlet was not happye because her hologram have falled, but even so she smailed as she lowered her head and her mane falled ower her eyes. True the sinister grin on her face she spoke with heavy voice "You still dont get it do you....I triumphed here, you are just delaying the inevitable...." As Scarlet was speaking all the engergie thet have gone to power thos litle robots around the room returned to generator because six out of seven robots were destoryed. And now, onces again power output into the drill gone up to sixty seven percent. Life less voice could be heard true the speakers onces again "Drill will reach its destination in T minus thirty two minutes." (Just whant to remaind you guys scarlet is still behaind her shiled)

Tyra charged at the robots with her wolf and her axe. As soon as she reached the frst litle robots she tok a swing with her axe and slamed one of remainding three robots on the flore, and destroyed it. But in the process as soon as her axe toched the robots electrisity, thet robots used for self defanse against mele oponents, gone true her axe and striked her body with full power. Blizzard charged onces again at the robots with just his hooves. When he reache the litle robots and toched him with his bare hooves, he ended up geting electrifidy, and pushed back with out much of sucess. Two litle robots remainded in battle, they were not thet strong but they could still keep hologram stable and because of thet robot contineu to charge his heat wave atack.

After Blizzard's massive hammer slam, crystaline ice spikes made holes into the flore of the room, and allowed new, cold air entered this gian roam of Scarlet airship. But even so, all of his ice he created and with thos holes he created, he was not able to complitly stop the Hologram heat wave, but he was able to lower the temperature of the room significantly. This time almost non of our heroes fokused the real trouble - Litle robot's. Radiant started to spin his swords around his with great speed and force, and charged true the hologram. As he got closer to hologram he could feel masive diferance in temperature because our heroes never complitly stoped heat wave of the hologram. Ssords the Radiant spined around him forced robots to move around, but because he spining his swords with big force and incredible speed one robot was not able to move on time and was destroyed by this spin sword charge. Other three robots regruped and contineued what they started moments ago - creating an heat wave thet would stop our heroes Dead in there tracts, but now with just three robots left this process was much slower then before, and because of holes Blizzard created cold air was cinstanly flowing inside the room.

As our adventruers talked about this village, storm thet was folowing them true out the forest stoped, but the sky was still dark and filled with clouds. And now slowly, a cold wind was picking up. It was like the season changed from thet hot summer day, into the cold winter night. As our adventurers got closer to the ruins of the frst house, they noticed thet this house was not destroyed recantly and thet this house, as well as the rest of the houses in this vilague were destroyed more then couple of months ago. If they were to look closer into this frst ruined house, they could see thet this house was not destroyed by an wepon, or burned but simply colapsed. Most of the houses were complitly colapsed but if our heroes were to look they will find one house thet is still stending and it would give them shelts agaims this cold wind. If our heroes were to look for food, they would find none, and if they wanted to eat they would have to eat food they brought with them.

Five litle robots dodged Radiant swords with eas, they looked like they were learning from there mistakes. And after one of them got destroyed by similar atack just minute ago, they learn how to dodge this kaid of atack, thet is, they learn to dodge 'flying magic sword' atack. But even so, because robots had to move around. To dodge all his swords, they had trouble projecting stable projection of hologram and so hologram slowed with charging his heat atack. Ticktock lighting atack hit the one robot dead on, overcharging it, and destroying it in the process. But all thet electricity the had struck litle robot had to go some were and because robots are geting there electricity from main generator thet is under scarlet shield, most electrictiy has gone right in thet generator. After Ticktock had destroyed one litle robot the lifeless voice said "Generator power incrised by 3%" Temperature of the room thet until now was stedly rising got slowed because of radiant sword atack.

Onces again Scarlet ignored Tyra's taunt. Because Hologram as a thing was just simply a projection, it made almost to noting sound as it moved, but the remaining five robot thet keept hologram stable could be hear flying around the Hologram. For couple of moments it was quait, and onli thing thet could be heard were our heroes talking among them self. But after thos few 'quait' moments hologram, thet was hiding in smoke changed color into the deep purple color thet made him easyer seen in this mist. After it changed color, hologrgram relised an wave of hot air in wery small radius araund him, and because it was small radius our heroes could onli feel light brezze coming from hologram. Soon after, hologram started to relise more and more hot air. It was like Scarlet wanted to burn our heroes alaive at this point. And so our heroes time slowly started to tick down...

Before adventurers started to folow there onli lead to find this 'armor stalion' again, Summer tryed to stop the rain. She was sucefull but onli on a little wail and rain contineu about twenti minutes later. Our litle adventurers were going true north forest, because 'armor stalion' said thet he would go thet way to get back to the millitary outpost. They were walking true this forest for a hour before they finaly comed into the clearing. Onces they finaly were able to see something more then just fifty shades of green, they were greated with an terible sight. Something thet onces looked like a village was now stending destoryed before there hooves. There were no flames or sighs of battle, it was just destoryed like an storm passed true this village and left it like it is now. There were no living sole in sight and no 'armor stalion' anny were. This could wery well mean thet our litle adventurers tok an wrong turn back at the cathedral, or thet 'armor stalion' was lieing to them were he is going, or it could wery well mean thet they are slow adventurers and they reached right place litle too late.

As soon as hologram got traped with in Radian shield, Radiant fired an magic sword towered the small robots, it sucefuly tok out an litle robot. Scarled notices thet this way hologram wont do anny dameg to our heroes so onces again he presed couple of buttons and hologram stoped shoting bolts of elecrisity and its color change back to blue. At this moment Blizard shot ice at them, and he tok out one robot, but after he tok down one others started moving out of the way of other ice projectiles - it was like they learned from there mistakes. Blizzard also jumped to take down an robot with his hooves, but as soon as he toched it, he got struk by electrisity and was forced to relase it. This was self defanse for robots, if annything toches them it will get struck by electisity. And so because most of wepons are made of metal, atacking them in mele range would be point less. After this hologram desapired, litle five robots moved around the room and made hologram appere outside of Radiant shield. This time hologram was green cool. Scarlet pulled an lever and room started to fill up with mist, and in just moment our heroes could lost vision and were able to see onli couple of feet in front of them. And as soon as room was filled with mist hologram started to charge at our heroes onces again, and now thet our heroes vision has been lowered thery would dodge this hologram much harder.

This litle adventurer team made there way back true the tunel, back to catheadral. After there feet were onces again on a surface ground, they could see thet rain was still falling outside and thet it didnot have anny intention to stop. But luckly our litle adventrueres were in thus old, and run down catheadral and so they had at list litle cover from this bad weather. If they were to look around they would find thet evrything was the same as the moment they entered the hole, and onli diferanse was thet big catheadral gate's were open - probably by 'armor pony' thet made his way up north to some military camp.

Scarlet ignored Ticktock compliment and Tyra taunt. But she got angry because her charging hologram was not so usefull. And so, she turned around and preses another button, and onces again power thet was going into the drill lowered onces again from 36% to the 32%. After Scarlet pressed the button, hologram thet was now charge true our heroes and was on other side of room turned around and as it turned around it changed color from blue to red, and seven litle robots were still around the hologram as all this happen. After it changed color hologram got an electric aura. And after couple of moments from this, now red hologram, erupced electric bolts thet were aimed at our heroes. This electric bolts were easy to dodge because they were small, but there real power was coming from there number, and if some one is to caunt the number of this fest moving light projectils, they would count thet there was 32 electric projectals thet were heading towered our heroes.

Slow but steay Ticktock moved around the room, from generator to generator. And slowly ship started to draw more and more power to the useless things. After Ticktock finished lifeless voice said "Power output at 42%. Drill will reach lay line in T minus 35 hours." Scarlet lowered her head and smailed. Her chirfull voice thet laughed moments ago becomed low and sinister "Strange.....for some reason I started to see dead ponys." She lifted her hoove and pushed an button, and with its press power output to the drill lowered to the 36%. After the button was presed an blue hologram apered in the one corner of the room. It was double the size of our heroes and by looks of it, it looked like Scarlet in full body armor. Around this figure were flying seven litle robots thet probably keept this hologram stabl. As soon as this hologram apered, it charge true the midle of room, with thos seven little robots still flying around him. Even if this pony was just a hologram, if our heroes were to get hit by it, it would be like they were hit by a train going with full spead.

Blizzard charged at the shield with an ice hammer and as soon as he got close inaf he brought it down on shield but it was not efective. Scarlet looked at Blizzards atack, and laughed onces he got stoped by shield "I thinked I stend just fine against 'all of you'." At this moment she noticed Radiant was talking so her attention shifted from Blizzard to him. She onli noticed lest part of Radian talking, onli noticed the part when he asked her a question. And so she started to speak "Like I said my end goal is to move this ley line to a diferent place so some maniac dont use it for evil." She finished talkimg with an grin, and after she finished, she started to push yome buttons on the control pannel for the drill. At this moment the lifeless voice was heard again "Power output at 98% , drill will reach lay line in T minus 3 minutes."

Tyra and her dog Blizzard charged at scarlet after they seen shild go down for fraction of second, and after thet fraction go up again. And because shild was on onces again, heroes and her companion were met with an un breakable shield. There was a small chance shield would break with them hiting it, but it would probably take lot more time they currently had on there hooves. After Scarlet seen Tyra yelled 'atacks' and onli after couple of steps his charge was stoped she started to laugh, after couple of moments of laughing at gloryes charge of Tyra, she said to Tyra true voice thet was still shwoing thet she was laughing "You know, I would chalinge you to the battle of wits...." she grined at Tyra "....but clearly you are un armed."

Summer looked around but room was the same as the moment they entered, there was onli one exit to this room - same one they used to enter this room. As Summer was looking around, she noticed the detals around the room were the same and onli thing thet was diferent was thet there was no armor on ground - because they used key on thet armour and freed the pony thet swas traped in it. Because of all this, our adventurers had onli one choise - to go back to the catheadral they used to enter.

"Thet was so obvious." Armor pony said to Summer as he roled his eyes. Then he open his mouth to say something, or probably just answer to Flear or Indus question, but before done thet his ears moved and he closed his mouth and smailed. "I can not let me audiance wait for me anny more." He said as he looked in a way of the dore, onli entrance/exit from this room. "There should be an military camp north from here. So, when you get out from this dump, seek me there. I will give you food and shelter." After he finished talking to our adventurers he faced the dore "Looks like the stage is set, and lead role is about to take the centar stage." Armor pony said to him self, as he started to galop towered the exit. As he was galoping his strange and week galoping made him looke like an colt thet is trying to run for the frst time and is going to fall anny moment - but thet did not happen, he galoped out of our heroes view and he got lost in the deep dark hallway our adventureres walked true just minutes ago.

"I know pony cant use all this energy." Scarlet said true smaile "And so am simply going to move this river of magic to the other side." Scarlet laughed "You know, because of safty." Scarlet turned around and because of her leg, she slowly moved toweres conteol panel "Anny how, lets start this. Shall we?" She prssed an button and for fraction of second all lights, as well as her shield got turned off, but after thet fractuon of second evrything comed back online. Onli thing diferent was thet lights were much weeker then before. "Power output has changed." Life less voice said "Power output at 97%. Drill will reach ley line in T minuse 4 minutes."

After Summer finished telling this 'armor pony' evry single detal how they got to this point, 'armor pony' closed his eyes and sighed, right after he said with low and anoyed voice "You talk tooo much dear....simple 'because reason' answer would have been beter." After Summer, Flearia contineued with asking more questions about 'armor pony's' past. To this new question, 'armor pony' answered, with his eyes still closed "Lest thing I remember an scream, some idiot promise and something small and bright. After thet I remember some one crying, and after thet noting more." After he finished he opened his eyes and looked around the room as Indus was talking "I remember an dog, but dont belive she was made out of diamonds." After answering to all this question's, armor pony looked at our adventurers and ask them "So what do you plan on doing next?"

"Well..." Scarlet started "...if you stey you lost anny hope of living. But if you turn your tail and run, you stil have some kaind of hope for future living.So will you run and live, or stey and die?" As Scarlet was talking, lifeless voice onces again true speakers said "Power output at 91%. Drill will reach its goal in T minus 15 minutes."

Scarlet did not drop the grin off of her face as she contineu to talk "Whay should I battle you, when I have already won." She laughed and contineu "You see, there is no way out. I have bested you, but to be fer you have lost the momet you joined this war.But....this victory would not be the same if i have juat gone up againts the Princess. And because of thet I am giving you an option - Turn around and go to vecation. And I give you my word thet I wont chase you down. I heard there was discovered an new, beautifull island some were on the easter seas. What do you say, do we have a deal?"

"My name..." Stalion started as he raised his head "It looks like I am having trouble remembering thet detail. How did thet happen..." He contineued and in moment it looked like he remembered something, because he quickly turned his head around and looked at a broken altar with speak jabed into it. But he did not said annything. After thet he slowly stagered towered the altar and frst looked left, then right and after thet he sighed. "I do belive I am having blank spaces in my memory, so I belive I can not answer to your questions." After thet he smailed, looked tower the top of this strange room and asked an simple question to our adventureres "If Weaver did not send you, who did?"

Our heroes contineu to run down the coridore towred the bridge of the ship, were they thinked Scarlet was. As they runed Ticktock from time to time lightly hit the wall, noting un usual happened. As they were runing they could hear the lifless voice saying true the speakers "Power at 93%, time will reach goal in T minus 17 minutes." Our heroes did not encounter anny guard on there way towered the bridge, probably Scarlet did not expect annyone geting on the ship and so she ordered evry soilder to go onto the ground. After minute or so of runing our heroes entered in an huge, circile shape room. This room was covered in glass windows, with no other exit then the one our heroes used to enter this room. In midle of the room was an circle shape shiled, thet probably did not allowed annyone or annythis enter it, or exite. In this circle shape shiled, were lot of machines thet by looks of it were controling the drille under the ship. In this shield there was an generator thet was controling the shield. And next to all thos machines was an mare. She had short orange mane, thet was burned on ends, her body was covered in scars, but her tail was still looking beautifull orange color - like it did not belong to the rest of the body. If our heroes were to look closer they would also noticed an broken horne in midle of this ponys short main, and a pair od wings on her body. As she walked our heroes could see thet she was draging on of her hoves acros the ground. Around the room, outaide of the midle shield, were couple if generators with panels thet controled diferent parts of the ship. One was controling the light inside the ship, and curently was set on low, but could be turned to medium or high. Next generator was controling the cameras around the ship, and at this point was turned off. Next generator was controling power output to wach-knights, and this generator was currently using most of ths ships power, and so probably was slowing down the drilling proces. Next generator was in charge of teleporting, and because there was no use of teleproting now. Teleporters were turned off. And lest generators was in charge of radar. Curently it was set just to scan this airship. But could be set to scan all of Canterlot. As our heroes entered the room, this pony noticed our heroes and true smaile said "Come in, come in. Main atraction is just about to begine."
