open Bangcolt Arena! (Fighting/Sol) (RP)

@,@, @@Orion Caelum,

 

Twilight heard knocks at the door. She was on the upper floor of her library so she couldn't get to the door instantly. Sure, she could of just used magic but she didn't. She first had to put away her book that she was reading; "Daring Do; Crusade for The Lost Mark"

 

Once she had returned the book to its original place she began walking down the stairs of the library while she was about halfway down; she peeked around to see three ponies who had just broken into her Library.

 

"Hey! I get this is a public library but this is also my home so if everyony could please be a little bit more considerate then I'd appreciate it very much. What do you all need?" Twilight asked.

 

She then looked over to her door, "I swore I locked it." she thought. "Wait a minute...", she then noticed that her lock had been magnled.

 

"Wait, everypony. I want to know who did this," she asked inquisitively, interrupting the others.

 

Wilhelm waved uncomfortorably. "Eh, not my fault. Crazy stallion with the tattoos did it. Anyway, we're here because we need to search for something rather important that, if not obtained within the next four minutes, may result in Rarity getting killed, tortured, or having various other unspeakable things done to her, by some insane assassin who has obviously no idea how to actually murder people." Wilhelm paused for a moment. "Erm, sorry for the rant and obvious too much information time."

 

Wilhelm began to edge further into the library, aiming like a guided missile subconsciously towards the astronomy shelves. "So, if you don't mind, Miss Sparkle, we'll just be obtaining this item and we'll be off, hopefully with a not-unspeakable-things-done-to-her-Rarity at the end." Wilhelm bolted towards the shelves, looking through all the books. He couldn't find anything in the massive library, but then a idea suddenly struck him with only a minute remaining. "Letters than a post office... History of the Equestrian Mailpony Service!" He picked up the book off the shelf and rummaged through it, finally finding the recorder, which he threw to IB. "Got it!"

"hm? well, for one, we do kinda fight like in the arena. only more...controlled. you know, stopping the blade before it hits something serious, and whatnot. and theres weights to make it harder to move, and the padding is for...i dont know."

 

he grinned. "have you ever had a spar with somepony, before?"

 

it was a simple sand pit, around 50 meters in diameter, with soft sand to land on. it was a couple feet deep into the ground, but not that deep. inside the sand dune, there was some racks and chests surrounding the edges, stacked with equipment, and supplies. even some first aid, for the non-serious wounds. above the sand pit, there was a fence surrounding it, to ensure no-one fell in, and more importantly, the fences were enchanted so that any kind of magic, or force, was contained inside, and didnt hit anyone who happened to be walking by.

 

there was one gate on the fence into the pit, and caliber opened it, and jumped in.

 

(is that good?)

(Alternate realities don't count, so no she's never sparred)

 

I honestly had not, and it was a good idea to be honest. "Nope, I haven't." I looked around some more. Besides the training equipment outside the gate, the stuff inside was pretty interesting too. "This little arena place makes me wish I was an earthbender with all this sand. What kind of sand is it? Is it ferrous?" I paused after that, thinking I might use a less scientific word. "Is it made of iron or another kind of metal?" Sparky came into the little arena at this point.

 

"So how do we start? Should I put on weights? You know I'm all magic right? You swing your sword with your magic too?" I asked him, moving over to the weights and reading off to myself how heavy they actually were.

You swing your sword with your magic, too." I asked him

"This sand is imported here from beaches, if that answers your question." caliber said, "and to answer your other question, well,"

 

he unsheathed his sword, and stood on his hind legs. "does this answer your question?" he asked, grinning. "i was trained like an earth pony, so..."

Wilhelm laughed in a way akin less to mirth and more to choking. "The Great and Powerful Trixie. I would have said EWS, but the Bears talk clinched it. Ursa Major is literally Large Bear in Equestrian Latin. It must be in either her living quarters or her shop, and I doubt he would have had access to her living quarters." Wilhelm clapped his hooves together in a way that, if done by a human, would be like cracking his knuckles. "So, who's ready to go ransack another shop?"

Trixie's door opened up on command as Ice Blizzard called her name. As the door opened, a cheesy voice could be heard calling out from an automated tape recorder.

 

"Welcome to THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Trixie's shop, where all of our spells and scrolls are GREAT AND POWERFUL- guaranteed!"

Blizzard raised an eyebrow at Trixie for a moment before entering her shop, "Uh...ok. Anyway, Will and I are looking for something important here, but uh no time to explain. Only got 4 minutes!" he began feverishly looking around the shop, trying his best not to knock anything over. "Lemme know if you find it Will!"

@Orion Caelum, 

"Heh. Name's Applejack, and if I hadn't spent more than enough apologies already, i'd give you one more for not telling you that from the start. Now you-whatsit?!"

 

She turned rapidly at the commotion, only to see the same blue pony that she had kicked out of her bar the other day bolting in through the door and rummaging through her stuff. followed by a well-dressed pegasus baring a dangerous expression.

 

"I ain't even gonna question it," she said to the griffin "sometimes it's just better that way.". Over her shoulder, she yelled "if y'all break any of my stuff, i'm breakin' you, ya hear?!"

 

She turned back to the griffin.

 

"So, where do you plan to go from here?"

Almost dropping a dish from the sudden outburst, kazas's eye widened as he turned to watch this sudden play of events. When it was over, he would answer Applejack's question.

 

" well now... interesting turn of events... as for where I head afterwards, I'm heading back to the Leovian Embassy to retrieve the proper attire to honor our friend's battle. Afterwards, I'll be heading to outside the arena to conduct the formalities for him and the one he is fighting. However, it will take some time to prepare, so I am more than able to stay and help out longer!"

 

He said with an optimistic grin.

[Lektra 2,341]

"This sand is imported here from beaches, if that answers your question." caliber said, "and to answer your other question, well,"

 

he unsheathed his sword, and stood on his hind legs. "does this answer your question?" he asked, grinning. "i was trained like an earth pony, so..."

I laughed, then scoffed. Then laughed again, then scoffed again. "That looks extremely uncomfortable. Get back down and stand normally." I motioned for him to get down.

 

"I calculate you can only stand like that for a little while, even if you can grip your sword. Like how many times per fight do you have to stand up then back down when you need to move somewhere and drag your sword across the ground? We're 4 legged. Get what I'm saying?" I gave him a second to imagine darting up/down/sideways when hefting the sword around, then attack. "You're a Unicorn and yet you don't use your telekinesis to swing your sword? Here I thought you were going to teach me, but it seems I will be teaching you first." I scoffed again. "Sir Caliber, let's practice your telekinesis. It's an extremely skill every one of our race should know." I pointed a forehoof at his sword. "Let go. Let it drop to the floor first. Focus on it and will it to move. What is your magic color? Have you ever seen it? This should become as natural as having extra limbs. You never really have to use your hooves ever again, and can even swing multiple swords." I said with a grin as I let him process the possibility of that.

 

"Why, I can do this." I materialized six swords out of hard lightning and floated them to demonstrate. "Granted they're not as heavy as yours, but surely you can lift, carry, and swing your one sword?"

"So, how about I take you to Trixie's and afterwards we can go elsewhere and I can show you all sort of neat stuff." She asked. Inside she begged for a "yes" or even better, maybe "Absotively" or something. 

 

Pinkie was very close, in more of a literal sense then anything. Her upbeat enthusiasm would of totally annoyed any other griffon to the point of screaming. Luckily I wasn't the sort who got mad at just anything and besides she offered to help me so that means something right?

"i did!" rune said happily, "now, do you happen to have the 'The Advanced Combinations Guide to Runes and Glyphs' book in your personal library?"

he showed no shame in breaking her lock, and didnt seem bothered she had found out about it. in fact, alls he seemed to care about is that book.

She looked at Rune and raised an eyebrow, then she looked at the door and put the lock back in place by using her magic.

She then turned back towards Rune. "Yeah I think so, follow me." She instructed as she began galloping down a row of shelving. She was muttering the name of the book over and over again until she spotted it on the third shelf. Her horn lit up and she brought down the book and dropped it on the ground.

"Here ya go, anything else you need me to do? I don't want you making a mess in here so let me know if you do."

After he finished with his home security, he cast an enchantment on them making them drift off towards his home, reappearing back infront of his house. In the corner of his eye he noticed a blue unicorn watching him and decided that greeting her would be the best approach.

 

@https://mlpforums.com/user/28184-corona-de-adamas/

He approached her with a slight smile and gave her a short bow, "Greeting ma'am, my name is Aknor Kal'dir, renownd blacksmith, metalbender and earthwarder. I've come here to test my might against the best of equestria's fighters!" He stopped for a moment, realizing how loudly he'd announced himself and asked, "To whom do I owe the pleasure of meeting?" In a quieter voice.

[Dust and Memories 557]

It took Wilhelm several minutes to find the recorder. It could have been anywhere in the shop, but since the previous period of Trixie's life was mentioned in the clue, it would likely be somewhere nearby something that was a reference to her magician days. Therefore, Wilhelm looked in those places, and eventually found the recorder taped behind a faded poster advertising Trixie's traveling magic show. "Got it! Last one!" Wilhelm threw it to IB with only half a minute remaining. When Pinkie came in, though, he nearly cringed away from the walking offense to personal space, order, and everything a pony should respect. "....Hi?"

Trixie cocked her head to the side curiously. He didn't know who she was? She grinned hugely.

 

"You've met none other than Trixie Lulamoon! Equestria's greatest illusionist and stage performer!"

 

She shouted the last words. As she did so, small fireworks shot off from behind her, arcing off into the air before exploding beautifully.

 

"Or at least I was. Sorry, old habits, couldn't resist," she said in a normal voice, giving a wry smile as the lights faded. "As of now, i'm just a large collector of dusty magical items, and a crackshot at imbuing. I own a magic shop a few blocks from here, in fact, which is where I was walking when I found you, burying something in the ground. Curiosity took it from there." she informed him.

"Ahahahah! You actually think I'm gonna tell you where I am?! Oh well, if you're such a big hero you can try."

Her necklace began to glow an ephemeral blue, as gems quite literally ripped themselves out of her bag to move into the air around her. They tightened around her in a semi-circle, where they began to elongate; their points became sharper than swords as they stretched, pointing dangerously in Carmine's direction.
