Tyra scowled at Scarlett's question, then to Ticktock's shook her head.

 

"Thankfully, I cannot recall a time I have sacrificed a pony's life," she confirmed, a small grin crossing her face, "I only remember saving the injured ones!"

 

She nodded. "Aye, the ones rescued before were all safe and sound from the attacks on the city."

Ticktock took a deep breath and said "That is false now bring on the next question so we can get out of your little playhouse and save the princess." Ticktock stood bolt upright to show his courage in the face of Scarlett and her sinister games. He then turned to Tyra "Ok I think we are going good now all we have to do is wait for Scarlett to answer."

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

"Corect.." Scarlet started "..3 down one to go." Scarlet moved around the walls and stoped right in front of Ticktock "This one is for you smart guy -Do you have feeling for litle one over ther.- ...." Scarlet pointed at Tyra "Oh soory we dont play thet game,let my say it diferently -You have fellings for her.Truth or False?-." Scarlet moved couple hoove steps away from Ticktock "After all she carried so you dont get killed in Vanhoover,she didnt let you go until you where 100% ok,and then again couple of minutes ago when my shadows pulled you down.And then those small lover fights,so lovely,...hehehe....True young love,ahhhh...."

Ticktock almost lost it "Wait what for one we are just friends and two I feel for Tyra as a friend nothing more nothing less so technically it is a trick question meaning it is both true and false. Also to finish off how in Equestria can you know the answer to that question to know the answer to a question like that you would have to be able to read my mind."

[Unicorncob 5,756]

Tyra cocked her head at Scarlett's next question.

"Lovers? Us?" She muttered, looking between Ticktock and herself, "I do not feel like I am his type. But we are certainly friends, to be sure!"

 

That one came out of nowhere. She liked Ticktock as a friend, but why would she assume they were in love?

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

Scarlet walked outside of the wall,in flesh and blood and walked around Tyra and Ticktock "Denial..he...its not good to be in it for long,embrace it.Evryone around you see it,onli you two dont,young love its so prety." Scarlet then started walking around Tyra "Look at this one,defending her true fellings.Let it go out,let it all go.Be in love when you are stil young." Scarlet was walking around Tyra and Ticktock.

[Skylord Nexus 527]

Ticktock jumped when Scarlett walked out of the wall "Denial I don't think I am in denial I believe I would know if I was in denial" Ticktock didn't like it when Scarlett paced around ponies it always meant she was planning something (Well at least most of the time) "Also what exactly makes you think we are lovers anyway I mean the reasons you said aren't really signs of love."

[Unicorncob 5,756]

Tyra readied her axe and snarled as Scarlett emerged from the wall.

 

"Every word you speak is a lie," she growled, watching her circle around her, "you put countless lives in danger for your own amusement. I will not believe one thing that comes from your mouth."

 

She stood lowered down, prepared to strike.

[Fallen Valkyrie 525]

"Fine be in denial litle one,but love will faind you one day.And then you will remember my...hehe...anny way blablabla you got onli one wrong so pick a dore and go.If I am at your place I would go south,but what do i know righ?" Scarlet looked at Tyra with smail on her face,then walked back  in wall and was gone.

[Skylord Nexus 527]

Ticktock laughed "The only time I will ever remember you is when I look at your grave and remember how much fun I had when I was kicking your flank with my friends." He then turns to Tyra smiles and points over at south door "I don't believe i'm saying this but I think we should listen to her and go south."

[Unicorncob 5,756]

"I will remember you fondly when I take your head off with my axe, witch," Tyra threatened, as Scarlett took her leave.

 

She raised an eyebrow at Ticktock, surprised by his decision.

"But that is where she said to go!" She complained, "This could be a trap, or lead us further away from the Princess!"

 

She blinked. "But...what if that is what she wants us to think...?"

She knew that dwelling on the matter would only frustrate her, so she simply nodded.

 

"Very well, I will follow you," she agreed.

[Skylord Nexus 527]

As Ticktock walked through the south door a thought came into his mind "Am I sure I don't have feelings for Tyra I mean she has been there for me every step of the way and she is kind and awesome and..." Ticktock's thoughts were interrupted by a voice in his head saying "Well Ticky I think you and short stack are a perfect match." Ticktock listened to this but didn't reply he was sure he didn't have those kind of feelings for Tyra he just liked her as a friend.

Icarus followed the two into the next room.

 

------------------------

 

Team B - Blizzard, Caliber, Red

 

The trio entered into the next room, which was rather bland and empty. Except for a familiar figure standing before them. A tall, alabaster alicorn with flowing rainbow mane and tail. She faced away from the team, simply looking straight at the wall. She made not a sound.

 

And then the door behind them closed.

 

"I should have known better," she suddenly spoke up, just loud enough for the others to hear, "trusting the safety of my kingdom of a group of children."

[Little Red 1,529]

Is that... Princess Celestia? She was exactly as Red had always imagined her to be... but why would she be here..? No, this was probably not her. This was probably an illusion like that Nightmare Moon had been. "Are you the princess, or are you an apparition?" Red barked, straightforward as always.

[J.R. 3,183]

Blizzard clenched his teeth, he knew that this was yet another trick. "Don't look guys! It's a trick! That ain't the real Celestia!" Blizzard did his best to keep his mind straight. The last thing he wanted was to be tricked into thinking an impostor was the Princess.

[P-Jay 1,987]

caliber was already attacking. "its a wachknight!" he called out, before slashing as hard as he could, with every murderous intent in his eyes.

 

he was sick and tired of lies, and these robots. especially after what happened when he first fought one. and he wasn't gonna have it anymore.

[J.R. 3,183]

Blizzard knew the best course of action for a faker robot. "SNOWBALL BARRAGE!" And with that, Blizzard began to fire off snowballs like a machine gun. Repeatedly, they hit 'Celestia', " Ch-h-h-h-h-h-hh-ing! AHa! If that's a watchknight, then the melting snow will short it out!"

[Unicorncob 5,756]

As Caliber closed in on Celestia, she suddenly turned around and grabbed him in a golden magical aura, effortlessly flinging him back across the room. A magical shield took care of the snowballs. All while standing regally and attentive.

 

"SILENCE." She commanded, her voice sending a force which pushed against the trio, "Just as always, brash and disrespectful."

 

She raised a hoof, as if she was directing their attention to something.

"Look at the chaos you have caused," she chided, glaring daggers at the three, "Two cities have fallen. Hundreds upon thousands of lives lost. And now my own sister is being held prisoner, with her magic being siphoned by this place until she drops dead."

 

"Equestria has been brought to its knees thanks to all of you," She growled, her horn glowing gold and her gorgeous wings spread wide, "so I shall do what I should have done a long time ago. I will be rid of you all, and rescue my sister and my kingdom by myself."

[P-Jay 1,987]

"if it weren't for us, millions would've been killed! AND WHAT ABOUT WHAT WE SUFFERED, TO HELP, HUH?!"

 

caliber activated his dark magic, his sword burst into flames, and attacked again, rage fueling him ever further.

 

dark magic feeds on how angry the user is, so caliber was considerably faster.

[Unicorncob 5,756]

As fast as he was, Celestia was still an alicorn princess, so magical superiority was on her side.

Using her wings, she quickly dodged to the side and fired a magical blast at the unicorn.

 

"You have not been forced to idly sit by while everything you love crumbles around you," she growled, glaring daggers at him, "All you lost were temporary things, and possessions. I have protected Equestria for millennia against dark gods, invading forces, and my own flesh and blood. And now, thanks to you all, I am at risk of losing a kingdom, and a sister."

 

Her eyes glowed pure-white with rage as the Royal Canterlot Voice returned to punctuate her point.

 

"DO NOT DARE LECTURE ME ABOUT SUFFERING, BOY."

[J.R. 3,183]

Blizzard had already entered his Maverick thinking pose, and began to think of the best possible course of action. "Think. This may not be the princess, but she still thinks like her. How can I use her thought process to my advantage? Let's see, if there's one thing Celestia values most, it's her subjects. If I can get her to feel who she really is, maybe I can get my opening and strike. Mind over matter, let's do it!"

 

He stood up out of his thinking pose and began to tear up, "*sniff* Princess, how can you do this to us? We're your loyal subjects. We'd never do anything to hurt you." He then stepped closer to her, knelt down, and began to cry some more, "*sniff* All my life I've looked up to you as the pony that keeps us going, you raise the sun and make us feel happy to know you exsist and are watching over us. And the elements of harmony." He then made 6 life sized sculptures of the mane 6 beside him, "They look up to you as well. So I say, as your loyal subject and friend, please stop your attack. "

[Unicorncob 5,756]

Celestia looked down her snout to Blizzard, who practically began grovelling at her hooves to spare their lives.

 

Her expression remained unchanged.

"Too much has happened for me to be blinded by sentiments," she said coldly, using her magic to melt the ice sculptures into large puddles, "I will protect Equestria by any means necessary."

 

She glared daggers as she prepared another blast, aimed for Blizzard. "Anypony who endangers my subjects is no friend of mine."

 

She fired straight for him.

[P-Jay 1,987]

caliber dove in front, and took the brunt of the blast. it hurt, like, a lot. overbearingly so, but caliber managed to start to block it with his sword. "you dont know anything!" he yelled out, "if you are celestia, prove it!!"

 

he had managed to stop the whole 'being blasted in the side' thing, and he was now guarding against it. it was still powerful, though, and he was being pushed back.

[Unicorncob 5,756]

Celestia scowled as Caliber took the worst end of her attack, then smirked as he demanded she prove she was the real thing.

 

"Ah yes, I recognise you, Caliber," she scoffed, fluttering down to the floor, "the one I anointed fourth greatest swordspony in Equestria, if I am not mistaken."

 

Her horn glowed as she prepared another attack. "It is obvious I should have sent for the top three instead."

 

Another shot toward him.

[J.R. 3,183]

Blizzard jumped up, "You're not the real Princess. You know jack sh*t about us, you don't even know me or how much Caliber deserved to be here." He managed to dodge the daggers, "I have a sneaking suspicion that this may not be easy guys unless we get the right opening. We need to think here." Blizzard activated his Barebone style and began to run around to dodge Celestia's vision, "Over here! Nope! Right here!"
