open Forgotten legend

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Radiant combed through the city, checking every house and every basement making sure no more ponies were still stuck in the city. 

 

As he was reaching the last few houses in the north, he walked up to a cellar trying to open it with his magic and the doors were locked. He tried pulling at the door more and still couldn't get it open. Once he stopped pulling at the door he could hear voices inside. He walked up to the cellar door dropping his hoof on the door breaking the bar that was holding the doors shut inside. He opened the door and could hear every pony panicking down stairs. It was dark so Radiant cast his light spell walking down into the cellar. "Please every pony calm down, I'm here to escort you to an outpost outside the city," he said passing his light over the ponies.

 

There were two ponies with four foals on the far wall. Radiant aimed his light at the floor "So please let's get you all out of here and somewhere where you all can eat and rest." He said staying in the cellar as the ponies walked out of the cellar. Radiant followed them out of the cellar, once outside of the cellar radiant took out a canteen he had filled with water floating it to the six ponies. "Please drink, and ration it fairly." He told the ponies.

 

Before he left the city he checked the last several buidings finding no more ponies. Radiant with the six ponies behind him left the city heading back to the outpost.

[P-Jay 1,987]

Caliber was woken up by a gentle nudge. He looked over to find his sword positively gleaming. That, and he felt well enough to stand. "Thank you!" he said to the filly, taking his sword and buckling it to his back. He walked outside, to find various tents. He looked around, and decided on the most familiar thing. The tavern. "Time ta eat!!" He said, sitting down and ordering a plate that had a tower of food,

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Radiant reached the outpost with the six ponies behind him, he turned back to them "you're welcome to stay here, the refugee tents are over in that direction. They provide trail rations and water to you all as well." He told them.

 

"Thank you so much... we didn't get your name." The colt of the group said.

 

"Radiant Sentinel, and it was no problem at all." Radiant assured the group as the others except the colt begun walking away. 

 

"Well again thank you Radiant," he reiterated trotting off after the others.

 

Radiant continued into the outpost until he found Tyra at the training ground with a training dummies head on the ground and her surrounded by foals. He spoke up standing on the outside of the training area. "So now we're beheading innocent dummies are we, I doubt they provide much of a challenge."

[Unicorncob 5,740]

Tyra perked up at the familiar voice, and looked over to see Radiant standing outside the training area.

She smirked and trotted over to him. "Yes, well, it is always wise to start small when you are re-cooperating."

 

She glanced over at some unfamiliar ponies in rags, heading to the refugee tents.

"I see you were off doing some more heroics," she continued, her smirk unwavering as she looked back up at him, "I suppose that does come with the royal guard position, yes?"

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Radiant looked at her "Pretty much, a never ending job. With a sworn loyalty to Celestia my loyalty almost lies more to the ponies of Equestria. That and knowing how to fight is a necessity, I wasn't made a captain for nothing." He said looking back at the training dummy with its missing head. "At least it seems you're making a good recovery enough to fight inanimate objects," he jeered at Tyra.

[Unicorncob 5,740]

Tyra nodded, understanding. He was certainly a capable fighter, as he showed with glory in the battle at the city.

 

At his last comment, her smirk instantly dropped, and her eyes widened. Was that a challenge?

One of Tyra's most infamous traits was that she never declined a challenge, of any kind, against anypony.

 

Not even a captain of the Equestrian Royal Guard.

 

She glanced up at Radiant, a dark smirk on her face.
"Are you implying something, captain?"

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Radiant reared his head back slightly looking down at her with a small smirk on his face. "Sounds like some pony is taking my words a bit seriously, but perhaps you could use an actualy sparring partner to get your muscles back into it." He said taking his saddle bag off his back setting it beside him.

 

He knew Tyra heard a challenge from his words and knowing what he did of the Shatterhoof clan is that they never back down from a challenge.

 

The foals around the training area heard what was being said "a fight, they're gonna fight. Cool!" They all ran off quickly spreading the word through the outpost.

Blizzard then decided to walk to the tavern for something to eat and sat down with Caliber and teased him, "Looks like somepony has a crush on you...  " Blizzard was referring to the filly he saw running in and out of Caliber's tent. "But anyway it's like we're both famous eh? One colt was amazed at my powers and the fact that I'm an Earth Pony using ice powers. Gotta love the foals right?" he said as he took a bite of a sandwich he had ordered.

"Nah, I got my eyes set on another. But yeah, you save a town, that makes you a legend." Caliber was inhaling food, when he decided to catch up with the others. Taking a to-go plate, (or three) he wandered outside to find Tyra and radiant. That look in their eyes...he knew it too well. Securing himself on top of a log, he called out "now I want a fair sparring match! This will be a test of skill! Meaning no means of defence, radiant! And it's over when a blade it at least an inch or closer to a vital area!" he had no idea if they were going to heed his word's. He wwas just saying how he sparred with others. Ah, this takes him back...all the way to ruk and shen...

Radiant stepped into the training area grabbing all four of his swords from his bag with his magic floating them over to him. The hilts slowly spinning around him as he looked at Caliber "Hey skills are skills and are all available in combat. Although I will refrain from my armor unless needed to make it fair for Tyra," he said with a smirk.

[Unicorncob 5,740]

Tyra's smirk only grew wider. She was right; it was a challenge! And she already knew her answer; the same answer her father, grandfather, and all her descendants would give should somepony dare challenge them.

 

She stomped up close to Radiant and glared up at him, her smirk unwavering.

"I accept."

 

She trotted back into the training area; the circular space would make the perfect arena, in her mind.

She harshly tore off the bandaging around her body, wanting to show no signs of weakness to her opponent. She had indeed been healing, the dark magic burns nothing but small, painless spots.

 

She snorted at Radiant's comment as she discarded her bandages. A crowd began forming around the area, refugees and guards alike. Some were curious, others were concerned, the others were excited to see the fight. The foals stood with their parents, cheering on their favourites.

 

"If I wanted to make this a fair fight," she called back to him, "I would use only my bare hooves!"

A bit of lighthearted trash-talk always got her pumped.

[J.R. 3,183]

Blizzard followed Caliber to the fighting arena, "Oh no, Caliber! A fight like this was made to fail. I better be on standby just in case anything goes wrong." Blizzard's stress also caused his powers to mess up a little, "Ah man this isn't gonna be good...This is so gonna go bad!"

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Radiant smirked at her comment "If you want a fair fight just say so and I'll tie three of my hooves together... leaving my back hoof free." He teased adding to the trash talk.

 

He used his magic to levitate Tyra's bandages out of the area so no pony got tangled up. He looked back at Tyra manifesting his four blades, shoving two in the dirt. He looked at Tyra with a look of confidence. He heard Blizzard's comment "Don't interfere, tyra won't be able to hurt me anyways." He teased again "mares first" he said gesturing his head to her.

[P-Jay 1,987]

Caliber looked at him. "Dude, chill." (snicker) they know what they're doing. They'll be fine, trust me." he said, intent on watching the spar. ' but if it gets too serious, 'imma have to stop them if ice blizzard can't...' he thought. He doubted he could, maybe he could beat Tyra or radiant, one-on-one. Maybe. But he certainly wouldn't be able to fight them both.

[Unicorncob 5,740]

Tyra scoffed at the comment, reaching back and gripping the hilt of her axe tightly in her teeth.

 

She too had overheard Blizzard's concerns, and she shot him a look that simply said 'Don't get in the way'.

Radiant's next comment, though, had brought her attention back to him.

 

The crowd was beginning to get into the upcoming fight, grinning and some cheering. The foals were going wild, yelling at their favourites to win.

 

"Mares first?" She repeated, then smirked and gestured with a hoof, "Then what are you waiting for?"

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Radiant heard Tyra's comment calling him a mare. He looked down between his legs, "well seeing as to that I would say I'm waiting on you." He said with a smirk sitting down in the dirt waiting on Tyra's first move. 

 

Radiant being a defensive fighter never likes making the first move.

[J.R. 3,183]

Blizzard shudders and then gets serious, "Aah! Hey hey! That's NOT funny Caliber! I'm serious here man I can drop kick the tar out of a bad guy no problem, but an ally? That's a risky situation. IK! *grunts and deploys ice wall between himself and Caliber* How about something like this if things get outta hoof?"

[Unicorncob 5,740]

Tyra's smirk simply grew as she watched Radiant sit on the ground. He was taunting her; baiting her to make the first move.

 

And being the headstrong warrior she was, she fell right for it.

 

She reared down and lunged forward, sprinting straight for her opponent with her head jerked to strike at him, bellowing a cry of battle as she neared him.

[P-Jay 1,987]

Calibers eyes narrowed. Then he sliced the wall in half, and kicked it over. "Dude. We're legendary. I doubt a wall could stop us." his sword arm stung painfully, but He didn't show it. Much. He sheathed his sword. His arm was sore now. Wincing, he turned back,to the fight. "How about you,just,trust them?"

 

(Tyras last insult...saw it coming)

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Radiant smirked at Tyra who was now charging head first at him. He stood up as one of his swrods floated over head when suddenly he dropped the sword right in front of Tyra causing her axe to catch on the blade spinning her back the way she was facing. As she was confused he dragged the backside of his other sword across her back slowly. 

 

"come on now." He said with a grin on his face

[J.R. 3,183]

Blizzard was not giving up, "How about cages? Slides? Trap doors? Tons of snow dumped on them?! Caliber I am not giving up here!" He then noticed Caliber's arm, "Yo, you ok dude? noticed you struggled with yourarm there? Need an ice pack?" he said as he created a small ice block in his hoof.

[Unicorncob 5,740]

Tyra went in for a heavy swing, and her blade caught in one of Radiant's swords, spinning her around to face the opposite direction.

 

She blinked and looked around, trying to get her bearings after the sudden turn.

Her fur stood on end as she shuddered from the blade's tip going up her back.

 

"Your magic tricks will not best me," she growled, turning and pouncing at the captain to prepare another swing.

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Radiant grinned as she came at him with her axe poised to strike at him. He watched the axe quickly returning his swords to him, as the axe came toward his side he clashed her blade with his sword. 

 

The second her hooves touched the ground she spun around swinging her axe for Radiant's other side. He managed to block her strike with the flat of his sword smacking into him, causing him to be pushed back a few inches. "That's what I like to see, come now though I didn't realize I was fighting a foal." He teased through a smirk.

[P-Jay 1,987]

Caliber was watching the battle intently. Taking in every detail on how radiant fights. "Huh? No, I'm good." he said when he heard IB'S comment. "I'm just still sore from the battle, ya know?" the leg he used to kick the wall hurt, too. But his attention was on the battle.

[Unicorncob 5,740]

Tyra snorted through her nostrils, feeling a tinge of pride as she knocked Radiant back a few inches.

 

"That is what I was thinking," she teased back, returning the smirk.

 

She advanced on him and began a barrage of heavy strikes, which he proceeded to deflect with the flats of his swords. Loud powerful CLANGS sounded with each strike, getting the audience more and more excited.

 

"Do you expect, sitting there, and defending all day, will bring you victory?" She snarked, taking pauses for each strike, "Where is, the captain, I fought alongside, in the city?!"
