private A Quest into Tartarus (RP)

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

What's this? A black Alicorn! And it's a stallion! But how could that be!?!? No don't tell me...It's the ruler of Tartarus! *he drew his sword clutching it firmly with both hooves and pointed it at the black alicorn* I fear no evil creature! Not even you! ECLIPSE!!! *he shouted heroically* My armor, my shield and my blade have all of the blessings of righteousness! All of Cielo is on my side! With all the blessings of light on my side I am completely impervious to dark magic! Whatever you try against me will be completely useless!

Very confused and only conforming, Sinusoid repeatedly launches zombies to the wall with many high-amplitude infrasonic pulses, their bodies coming apart on impact. As the zombie fighting abruptly stops, he turns around to address the scary voice, which he steps backward from at the sight if the alicorn.

[P-Jay 1,987]

"how about a punch to the face?" eclipse asked. silver sword charged, and eclipse punched him square in the face. silver went flying into a wall, and caliber jumped up. "hey, thats my friend!" he shouted, as he, too, charged eclipse. eclipse dodged the first strike, and kicked him. caliber, too, went flying and hit the wall. eclipse looked around. "anyone else? no? good. listen up. the amulet is mine." silver and caliber were both on the ground, struggling to get up. "no, its not. amulet belongs to celestia." caliber said. eclipse growled, and walked over to caliber "the. amulet. is. mine." caliber looked up at him. "its celestias." eclipse picked caliber up with magic, and threw him across the room. then picked him up again, and slammed him on the ground. "how about now?" eclipse asked. caliber didnt say anything, as he was knocked out. "good." eclipse dropped him, and walked to the exit. "let him be an example." he said, as he began to walk away.

[Sinusoid 37]

Sinusoid, suddenly enraged at his teammates being taken down, concentrates again without any signification as the alicorn walks away. He focuses a dangerously loud an high-pitched sound wave directly on the alicorn's eardrums, increasing the the power to a point that could cause them to burst.

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

GAH!!! What kind of monster is this!?!?!? *he got up and pointed his sword at Eclipse* No matter who you are...No matter what power you have...And no matter what form you take Eclipse...You will never defeat the side of righteousness! I will reclaim that Amulet! Even if I die trying!

 

[P-Jay 1,987]

"please." eclipse said, "celestia was only able to beat me by hitting me with the sun. how can you amount to that?" he was walking towards silver sword. "i should kill you right here and now, for thinking you alone can take me. i've seen that kind of armor, before...luckily, i have this." he pulled a pure black blade out of his shadow. "ah, night-steel. how you serve me so." he looked at silver sword. "how can you hope to beat me?" caliber was stirring. 'what the...?' he thought, 'was i just beaten? that cant be...' he got up, to see that now he had a sword. so, he raised his own. "now, what did silver say his name was? oh, right, eclipse." he walked over to silver. "we got this." he said, "lets charge at the same time."

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

W-What sort of monster are you!?!?!? Well I'm not alone! My comrades are here with me! *Silver looked at Caliber and nodded* Right! We will attack him together! *Silver put his sword to his face standing on his hindlegs. The sword glowed bright golden yellow as a fiery orange aura surrounded and enveloped it* Sword of Righteousness!!! Hear my plee!!! Grant me the power to vanquish this evil abomination!!! *Silver charged doing a team attack with Caliber at Eclipse*

[Sinusoid 37]

Noticing that his spell is not working, Sinusoid stops and contemplates why; "The force that I just used to vibrate his eardrums was enough to cause deafness..." he thinks; "Is this alicorn immortal? Does this not work? No, it must..." With this thought, he searches for the correct frequency, and tries again, more effectively.

[Dust and Memories 557]

Wilhelm, meanwhile, was studying the alicorn quite carefully. Then, he spoke, in a clear and carrying voice that paused the battle in its tracks. "King Eclipse. Originally responsible for the sun and moon before your children, Celestia and Luna, overthrew you. How...entertaining. Immortal, powers include teleportation, basic elemental control, and skill in swordplay and magic yet unequaled except by your daughters, now grown into their powers." Wilhelm walked straight up to Eclipse, staring him down with a face almost like it was composed of steel- unflinching and utterly merciless. "You see, 'King Eclipse', you may have met the other ponies-but you have never met me. And you will never meet my like again. I have brought untold enlightenment into this world. I have formed the Order of the Panopticon. I see all, I know all, and there is nothing you can do to stop us from achieving our goals." This was delivered in a strident voice, underlaid with tones of anger and utmost scorn for the pony he was speaking to. Wilhelm almost seemed to tower over the alicorn through some feat of projection, and his eyes were locked on the other pony's. "In short, Eclipse, you have no idea what you are dealing with. Let me educate you as to the depths of your blunder." In a blur of movement, he back hoofed the other pony across the face, sending him skidding along then soil of Tartarus. From Wilhelm's saddlebags, he drew a sword made completely of silver interlaced with gold, and inscribed with runes in a unknown language. The sword almost seemed to shimmer with a darkness all its own. "I assume you know what this is?"

[P-Jay 1,987]

eclipse stared at caliber and silver rushing him. "sigh, when will you creatures learn?" he flew upward, and cast a spell made out of pure darkness. it was wide enough to engulf caliber and silver sword. silver's armor and shield took the brunt of his blast, caliber wasn't so lucky. "oh?" eclipse said, as his blast hit caliber. "my, my. it appears this one has darkness in his heart. let me just amplify that...huh?" his ears twitched. "what the...pain?" he saw Sinusoid. "ah, a spell that causes intense eardrum vibration." he flew over to him. "i must say, that hurt quite a bit." he smiled, and hit him with his hoof, crumpling the lesser pony. "now, back to-AHHH!" silver had plunged his sword into his back. he turned, yanking the sword out of his grasp. "oh, right, i forgot. enchanted armor protects you, blah, blah, blah..." he punched him, harder this time. broke the wall he hit. don't forget your sword." he threw Excalibur at the pony, who was struggling to get up. "where was i..." he said,as he walked towards caliber. "yes, that's right! you have the spark of insanity, don't you?" caliber looked up, and swiped his sword across his face. "so what if i do?" caliber said. eclipse growled. then said, "then it will make it so much easier to do this." his horn glowed, and caliber started twitching. "hey, what are ya...doing..." caliber muttered. eclipse smiled. "ah, yes. this is better. your master orders you to attack the one with the enchanted sword!" Rebilac got up. looked at wilhelm, and started walking towards him, his sword at the ready. "yes, i know what that sword is." eclipse said, "the question is, how well can you wield it?

[Sinusoid 37]

Being hit with force, Sinusoid falls to the ground somewhat easily. As soon as he could catch his breath again, he says weakly, "Wow... I'm even terrible at what I do best. I should note that alicorns have figuritive eardrums of steel." With a habit of pointing out the obvious, he says quietly and abstractly, "Yeah... ow... that hurt..."

Gwah!!! *Silver got up and picked up his sword feeling a bit dizzy* That was too close...My armor and shield were the only things that saved me...Huh? Caliber!!! Caliber are you ok? *Silver notices a difference in him* Huh? Caliber what are you doing!? Stop!!! Stop this madness at once!!!

"yes, i know what that sword is." he said, "the question is, how well can you wield it?

Wilhelm winked at Rebilac. "Rather well, Caliber dearie." He spun the sword in a hypnotic pattern, drawing Rebilac's eyes to the blade. However, mid-spin, he flipped a fallen sword off the ground into his hoof, and then threw it directly at Rebilac. In the time it took him to parry it, Wilhelm was already on him. The sword battle turned into a whirlwind of swirling fog of red and black, Sparks and chips of metal being thrown off into the cloud, and the weak light of Tartarus making both swords shine in a unnatural manner. Finally, with a deft parry, a feinted kick to the left leg, and a actual movement of the sword to Rebilac's neck, it was over, and Wilhelm had barely begun sweating. "Yield."

[P-Jay 1,987]

rebilac growled. "you should yield, not i." with that, he reversed his blade to strike him, which he dodged. he began a series of attacks, and moves that make his sword barley visible. "you should yield while you still can..." he said, as he began landing small blows on his legs, torso, and face. then, he tried for a bold move. he swung his sword with one hand, as hard as he could. when wilhelm blocked the overhand strike, rebilac punched him in the throat. wilhelm backed away, coughing. "its your move." rebilac said, darkly

By the gods! That was amazing Willhelm! But don't kill him! Though he has been tainted by an unspeakable evil he is still our comrade! We must defeat him and return him to his normal state but not kill him!

OOC: I really hope you guys have PMed the owners of the OCs you don't control before oneshotting them cuz otherwise that could cause a rather rude dispute...

Wilhelm cocked an eyebrow. "King takes queen." With a cold and mirthless smile, he began his Attack-or not. He simply edged around Rebilac, all with that same smile on his face. "You've made a unbreakable promise to the ruler of this land, the goddess-princess. Does this magic give your word no meaning?" He waited for Rebilac's response, sword hanging at the ready, tip pointed at Rebilac's heart at such a angle that, if Wilhelm lunged, it would puncture Rebilac's heart, lungs, and come out the other side.

 

 

OOC: Battle BGM!

rebilac looked dazed. "i...i promised?" he looked at wilhelm, his eyes lightening. "promised..." he looked conflicted. "i...dont remember...i think i...cake." he looked at wilhelm. "you gave me cake." he sat down. "and i attacked you...why...didnt i..." his eyes rolled to the back of his head, and he collapsed. eclipse gave a tsk-tsk. "such a shame. i really wanted to see you dead." eclipse said, and looked at a non-existent watch. "and would you look at the time? i need to get out of here before another monster takes the amulet for himself. toodles." he said, as he disappeared. caliber began to snore.

[Dust and Memories 557]

Wilhelm sheathed his sword in disgust. "Just the second circle, and yet we find all of this?" He gave a deep sigh and, for a brief moment, looked like he had all the world upon his shoulders. "It's a straight ride through here down to the Seventh Circle, though, through that tunnel." He gestured with one hoof.

@@Orion Caelum, You did it! Well done! Onward troops! To victory!  *Silver pointed his sword forward leading the way through the tunnel waiting for the others to catch up*

OOC: I gotta go to bed for now. Night guys. Gotta get enough sleep to recover from my illness. Later guys.

IB had cuaught up with the team and witnessed the aftermath, "What in Tartarus was going on here?! I check behind you guys for a couple minutes and all Tartarus breaks loose?! Dear Celestia!!" He then inspected the area, "Bloodshed! Everywhere!!! *Breathing deeply to stay calm* Ok...*puts his hooves together* Will which way do we go next?"

Fey was following taking notes of everypony's abilities and skills, while they fought the alicorn. 'I could of climbed up and leapt form the wall or ceiling on to him.... But... They can handle them selves.'  She thought seeing the battle ending as she kills a few zomponies near her with her new found sword, healing her as she drew blood and a slight giggle comes from her "Ah.... So much fun killing things, now to ponder about the heros and the amulet she wants. Knowing they are the key to getting it.

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

You must hone your senses and maintain your guard at all times my comrades! To lower your guard for even a moment could mean certain and sudden death! Now then I'm not really a tactician but by my calculations we should be nearing the center of Tartarus.

You were being mind controlled for a bit but we saved you. Wilhelm is really the one you should be thanking though.
