  1. @Samurai Equine

    Kronos’ eyes widened with disbelief. His own employer, one of the two leaders responsible for this town, dares to retreat!?

     

    The nerve of this coward!!! his voices interject, Lost cause!? Our kingdom was built out of ruins and rubble!! How could this possibly be a lost cause!?

     

    As he stood there, Kronos looked at the Dark Stone Buster sword. Then at Mayor Black. He went up to him and swiped his amulet away from him. He presses it a few times and then gives it back. It injected syringes into Mayor Black’s chest, extracting some blood and minerals from his body to produce a replica soldier made of blood magic. 
     

    “This soldier will protect you until you reach your destination,” Kronos explained, “Afterwards, it will dissipate and reabsorb into your body, but not before branding you with the shameful Brand of Cowardice. As of right now, you are considered a traitor to Friendshire. My spirits could sense this mark within a 1000 mile radius. If you so much as breathe within Friendshire’s outskirts, I’ll hunt you down and charge you with treason of the highest degree under your brother’s command. You can pay me to wreck havoc to the town square, but you cant pay me to abandon a place i swore to defend with my life. Farewell, Mayor Black. My contract with you is forfeit.”

     

    He then returns to the town walls, barely in time to give orders to defend the town. Buster sword in hand, he orders “OPEN FIRE!!!” He then proceeded to charge straight into the group of paper assailants and began to cut them down group by group and occasionally leapt into the air to spin fires around the sky to burn down groups of flying attackers. 
     

    Damn, he thought, There’s so many of them. We have to burn them to ashes to really finish them off. I hope the others are okay. 
     

    He then performed a rather spectacular combat spell. He raised his hand up in the air and quickly swiped it down shouting “STARFALL!!!!” And a large fireball shot from the atmosphere into the ground, incinerating more aerial attackers and leaving a large area of the field burnt asunder. This fight continues on for Kronos repetitively.

    “Only this, sir.” He produced a holographic projection of the map of Friendshire with the surrounding area littered with the paper ninjas he saw. “Apparently, according to Samurai, there was some paper ninja thing that was going to cause problems. Someone had a premonition that this town was going to be attacked in a full-scale invasion. My scouting drones confirmed this suspicion. I predict, without proper preparations, casualties and deaths could number in the hundreds if not thousands from both sides and this town would be reduced to ruins.”

    He then hears Mayor Black’s proposition.

    ”That would be perfect,” Kronos replied to Mayor Black while bowing, “Thank you sir. I’ll get things mobilized right away.”

    Kronos proceeded to go over to the shop that sold hunting supplies. 
     

    I could refurbish these into some lethal stuff, Kronos thought, I just need their cooperation.

    ”Hey,” Kronos tells the shopkeep, “Im the one Mayor Black said needs your help.”

    He now awaits the shopkeep’s response.

    Kronos made it back to Mayor Black’s office. He gave him his report.

     

    ”Sir, there’s trouble brewing in the outskirts. And it’s not pretty. There’s an army of ninja that intend to destroy this city, and I doubt they’ll take prisoners. Im not asking to mobilize a militia, that’s too impractical. Im asking you to evacuate the citizens to a secure location while i hold off this imminent threat looming over the horizon. Please, sir, I’ve never asked for anything from you until now. Evacuate your citizens to ensure the future of your town lives on.”

    Krux was sniffing at Kronos’ arsenal box, which was a virtually bottomless box that held a whole bunch of weaponry, yet still remained light as air. Bewildered, Kronos looked back at the box and selected “Recent” on it. There, he saw a weapon he forgot was there, Samurai’s sword. The Dark Stone blade. 
     

    “Hmm,” Kronos lamented, “The combination of magic nullification from both my Eternium armor and Samurai’s Dark Stone Sword, we may just have a chance at something here.” He gave the buster sword a few swings. While it was a buster sword that was almost unwieldy for most ponies, Kronos has enough strength to wield it single handedly. He swung the sword with fluid grace and felt a surge of power emanate from the sword as it seeped into his armor. 
     

    Huh? Kronos thought, Could it be that the magic nullification properties of both the blade and my armor create some sort of synergy?

  5. Kronos awakens as the first exposure of the morning sun makes contact with his armor. The heat emanating through minute gaps in his armor permeated and went onto his skin, giving him a calming emergence from his stasis. As soon as his eyes open, however, his spirits immediately manifested. 
     

    Danger is imminent. They told Kronos. 
     

    “I know,” he replied, “That damn paper gazelle thing or whatever the hell it was warned us. Samurai entrusted me as the new guardian of this town. I will due my damnest to keep these civilians safe. We may have to break a few self-imposed rules to do that, however; but, if push comes to shove, we might have no other choice.”

     

    You dont mean....

     

    ”Yes,” Kronos answered, “We may have to resort to our ancestors ancient traditions of destruction magic. The results would be cataclysmic, but it could bring a swift end to what’s coming. But only as a last resort. Otherwise, the most we can transgress our self-imposed restrictions is implementing our full arsenal.”

     

    You mean our condensed photon mass drivers?

     

    Our weapons that fire projectiles made of condensed light that shatters and burns into its target without leaving an exit wound? 
     

    We all agreed that was against our morals here: Dont use technology far beyond these ponies capabilities. It gives us an unfair advantage and might give us undeserved reverence. 
     

    “What other choice do we have!? Do you think there are plenty of other capable fighters amongst these civilians? Remember, we’re not in Ragnarok anymore. Most of these ponies probably dont know how to wield a sword properly, let alone a projectile weapon. We are their best shot at warding whatever the hell is coming. And if we cant do that, then this city is lost. If we have to resort to desperate measure, we damn well better commit to those measures.”

    ”I could be asking you the same thing, stranger,” Kronos replied to the changeling, “I’m only gonna ask one more time: who are you and what’s your business here?”

    His suit visibly hissed out some air as he went from tense to relaxed at regular intervals, seemingly ready to strike at a moment’s notice. 
     

    This one looks skilled, a voice told Kronos, We best exercise caution.

    As he patrolled the city, Kronos’ sensors detected an anomaly. 
     

    Unknown presence detected.

     

    Kronos immediately went to investigate. 
     

    Upon reaching where his sensors told him, he saw what looked to be a changeling performing some sort of swordplay. 
     

    A performance of some sort? his voices asked.

    Perhaps, Kronos replied. He then turned his attention to the changeling. 
     

    “You there,” he called out to the changeling, “How did you get in? Identify yourself.”

    He kept his sword at the ready, cautious about his approach.

    ”Hmm,” Kronos said out loud to Finn, “I dont know, depends on what they think. Guys?”

    His four spirits manifested themselves to Finn. 
     

    “Alright alright,” Kaiser said, “I’ll behave myself.”

    ”Good,” Gabriel told him, “We dont want to put this child’s life in danger again.”

    ”So kid,” Ajax said, “We all have our own fields of expertise. So, to narrow it down, lemme tell you who specializes in what: Kaiser is the most ancient of us all. Any information you want to learn about you inquire him. I am rather knowledgeable in defensive magic. Gabriel is adept in light and healing magic. Krux is a master close quarters combatant. He and Kaiser can also teach you a little bit about blood magic.”

    With Finn on his shoulder, Kronos went on to the town and said “Welp, alright, kid, let’s see what there is to do.”


    He first takes Finn over to the Town Square, where he explains some things that he did there. 
     

    “A while ago, the folks here were having a festival and there was a stage right over there. I actually performed music there one time. Also, and dont tell anyone this but,” he proceeded to whisper this into his ear, “I may or may not have caused a little bit of chaos around here by unleashing a bunch of flash bees around here. But you didnt hear this from me, kid.” 

    On the way to the next significant destination, they passed by Daring Decor, where he whispered to Finn, “Dont let the owner of that place try talking you i to anything. He’s a con pony.”

    He then went over to the luxurious looking hotel that Mayor Black works at. 
    “This is where my current employer works at. The only other pony besides yourself that knows i work for him is a friend of mine named Samurai. He used to be the guard of this town until some paper ninja thing showed up. Now his duty is passed down to me.”

     

    He then went to the place where he wrecked Samurai’s car in the Kart Race. He climbed up the hillside and looked around. The construction ponies did a good job renovating the landscape back to its original form. “And this is where we once had a Go-Kart race. This is the last place i remember being at before—uhh...I’d rather not talk about what happened then.”

     

    The next place he went to was the arcade as he explained “And this is the arcade where this WHOLE town got stuck in temporarily inside a virtual world until half of them got released halfway through the adventure. This is also where Kaiser expelled himself from my body until he found you. You can probably guess what happened after that.”

     

    ”So, besides that,” Kronos concluded, “The only other places I know of are a few restaurants and the place i stay at. Is there anything in particular you wanna do?”

    Kronos’ eyes were nearly dozing off as he seemed to be the quiet and distant type amongst the group; that is until the little pony asked him a question and he snorted himself awake. 
     

    “Huh, what?” he asked in sudden confusion, “Oh, yeah, sure.” He noticed that the little colt wanted to ride on his back. He picked up the little colt and placed him on one of his suit’s pauldrons. “So, what do you want to check out first, kid?”

    ”My people fought for conquest,” Kronos answered, “Although, according to the stories of my ancestors, we used to be a massive jumble of disorganized cities. We still had our clans, Argent, Stromhelm, Urvex, and Reaver, clans named after the four original generals of Ragnarok. I hailed from the Reaver clan. We all sought expansion of our lands, initially for honor but it soon turned to a battle royale for power. Eventually, the Reaver clan came out on top. We went back to our tradition of conquest until we suddenly stopped. That was until my sister and I were born and were told stories of our ancestors. It really inspired us to try to recreate the glory our ancestors once had. The short end of that sub story was she was physically powerful beyond belief. I was a technological savant. Together, we multiplied the landmass of our kingdom ten times in a matter of a few years. After that, the only time that there was any fighting was usually pacification and quashing coup attempts.”

  12. @Samurai Equine @ExplosionMare @Dynamo Pad

    In the aftermath of the chaos, everyone was clearly mixed with relief and confusion. 
     

    After regaining Kaiser, Kronos went to answer some questions. 
     

    “Yes,” he first answered Dynamo, “That was the same Kaiser from the game world. That old soul couldnt stand losing, even if it’s just a game. The other spirits usually keep him in check, but i guess something about the video game world prevented that from happening. Dont worry, it’s all good now.”

    He then answered Pencil, “How did i acquired this soul? Well, in my culture, once every generation, a being known as The Vessel is born. The Vessel is destined to be granted the powers of the greatest ancestors my people have ever had. I turned out to be The Vessel of my generation, much to the dismay of my sister. They technically do a form of possession of me, however, since Finn is not the True Vessel, he can’t manifest or manipulate these spirits the same way i could.” He then brought out the spirits, Kaiser included, to properly introduce them. 
     

    “Greetings,” the blueish white spirit greeted, “I am Gabriel, Archangel of War and Vanguard of Justice. I serve to ensure proper balance in the morals of society.”

     

    “He honestly has no business in that, but he does himself,” the reddish spirit retorts before introducing himself, “‘Sup, name’s Krux, the Devourer. I am a savage warrior with insatiable bloodlust. Simple as that.”

     

    ”It takes the combined efforts of myself and Ajax to prevent him from simply killing everything in sight.” Gabriel commented. 
     

    “I am Ajax, the Aegis of Ragnarok. I ensure that no harm comes to my people in times of war. Now that i possess this Vessel, i ensure no serious harm comes to Kronos as well.”

     

    The other three turned towards Kaiser with contempt, who then sighs with a “fuck it” attitude and says, “I am Kaiser, Conqueror of Ragnarok. I’m the most ancient spirit that possesses Kronos. I was one of the first warriors of our history and one of the warriors that established the values and culture of my people.”

     

    ”There were many flaws to it, obviously, as generation after generation made large amounts of amendments to your manifestos.”

     

    ”They were to ensure no one else would conquer u—AHHH!!”


    Gabriel struck Kaiser with holy light, which shut him up.

     

    ”Anyways,” Gabriel continued, “Again, we’d like to thank you for keeping Kaiser ay bay. If there’s anything you need from us at all, just ask him.” He gestured towards Kronos before all four returned to him. 
     

    “So, yeah,” Kronos said, “Those are the guys that are possessing me. Well, ‘possessing’ is kind of a generic term, so more like they ‘occupy my body with limited control’.”

    Kronos stared straight ahead with eyed widened with revelation. 
     

    He has shown himself, his voices declared. 
     

    “Yes, he has,” Kronos replied, “Time for action.” 
     

    Kronos got back into his suit and leapt from building to building until he saw the whole commotion happening. 
     

    “KAISER!!!” He shouted at the ethereal form. 
     

    “YOU!!” Kaiser growled as he turned towards Kronos, “YOU WERE WEAK. UNWORTHY OF MY ASSISTANCE ANY LONGER. I GRANTED YOU MY WILLPOWER AND YOU SURRENDER TO A RAGTAG GROUP OF LOWLIVES!!”

    Being around Chelsea allowed the other three spirits to manifest visibly.

    ”You do realize that was all just a video game reality, right?” Gabriel replied.

    ”Wait,” Kaiser asked, “How can you do that?”

    ”They remember who their true vessel is, Kaiser.” Kronos answered. He snapped his claws and the other three surround Kaiser. Kaiser attempted to attack, but he was already imprisoned into a set of ethereal chains. 
     

    Gabriel turned towards Chelsea, “Thanks for keeping him at bay. You gave us enough time to track his activities and pinpoint his location. Without you, we might’ve just tried to fight everyone here until Kaiser got drawn out.” Finally, Kronos went up to Kaiser and pulled out a special orb. The orb absorbed Kaiser’s essence into it. In the aftermath of the brief chaos, Kronos inserted the orb into his chest. His left mechanical eye gave a green glow. He floated briefly into the air with a digital aura and a triumphant chorus played from literally nowhere. A holographic textbox appeared below Kronos, and it read “KAISER REACQUIRED. WILLPOWER FULLY RESTORED”

  14. @C. Thunder Dash @Samurai Equine

    Kaiser screamed as the water somehow burned his ethereal form. Somehow, even his host is also able to resist his influence. 
     

    THAT...NOISE...Kaiser strained, CANNOT....DEFEAT...ME!!! Suddenly, Kaiser finds himself yanked out of Finn’s body, but he also somehow managed to gain a physical form as well. He gains the appearance of a giant, hollow suit of armor with Chelsea’s water making up the inner framework of his body. His eyes glowed a fiery red against his watery body. Steam was visibly leaking out of this form of Kaiser with an audible sizzling sound. The water is hurting him, but it’s also giving him a form to maintain. 
     

    “Hmph, fine then,” he declared, seemingly undeterred by the holy water burning him from the inside out, “Of you wont let me possess this body, I’LL JUST TAKE YOURS!!!” He made a mad dash for the griffon with a watery morningstar wielded. 

  15. @C. Thunder Dash

    Kaiser felt the griffon’s grip on him

     

    NANI!? He exclaimed to Chelsea, WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU—HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS WITHOUT HARMING THE CHILD!? RELEASE ME AT ONCE, BIRD WITCH!! IF YOU FORCEFULLY RELEASE ME FROM THIS YOUNG FOAL, HIS SOUL GETS RIPPED ALONG WITH ME LIKE A BEE’S ENTRAILS GOING ALONG WITH ITS STINGER!!!

    Kaiser is really making Chelsea work to release his grip on the young foal. Maybe there’s some way she could bargain for the young foal’s life?
