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

[Chivalry Knight 161]

A cloaked pony had arrived at the stadium. An extremely long sheath strapped around his body looked as if were holding an equally long blade. He also had a necklace with a silver insignia (a circle with two blades crossing each other in the middle, and four points heading north, south, east, and west in small arrows outside of the circle.) The cloaked ponies muzzle was a visible crimson red hue, his tail could also be shown to be a long and straight silver color; the cloak was brown and rather ragged as well. He had another cloaked pony following him as he entered the stadium gates. The pony following him had a pack of tarot cards strapped to her side and a large crystal ball hanging from a thin gold chain around her neck.

"Alright, we are here just like you requested. This seems to be a fine place for you to hone your skills, then you will be ready to go back to Killik." The cloaked pony wearing the crystal ball said. She had a mares voice, and she spoke quietly. "I will take my leave, then I shall come get you when you are ready." With that, the mare left the stadium and left the crimson red pony alone.

The crimson pony grunted and walked around the stadium hallways. His blade almost touching the floor, just barely off the ground with every step he took.

Chivalry was also walking through the hallways, "Man what a battle, that was really intense. He's a good fighter but I bet I could've beat him if he hadn't stopped the fight like that, hmph..." He said to himself. He saw the cloaked stallion walking towards him, and for some reason, Chivalry suddenly felt a chill through his entire body. As the stallion walked closer, and as Chivalry walked closer to each other, the chill became more and more intense. He had stopped talking, and swallowed a bit of saliva down his throat.

They both walk past each other, neither of them batting an eye. The chill was most intense when they were both side by side, as if time itself stopped for 5 whole seconds. Then time continued as if nothing had ever happened. Chivalry keeps walking forward, not daring to look back at all. Then, suddenly the sounds of footsteps from the cloaked stallion stopped.

"At ease Killikian Guard." He said.

Chivalry quickly glanced back, but to his surprise, the cloaked stallion disappeared. 'Who... was that?!' he thought to himself. Chivalry turned his head back to where he was walking 'I-I'm probably just seeing things. I really need to get some sleep.' He though to himself before finding a place to rest.

It was a strange feeling, having your mind being torn from your body. Sleight Mist floated in... wherever, as her now multi-colored body started to drift away from itself, pieces at a time. The parts that were still attached began to spontaneously shorten, widen, elongate, and stretch in impossible shapes and angles, while space continually fluxed between too much and not enough, sometimes crushing her, sometimes pulling her apart. Insanity began to wash over her like a flash flood.

 

Perhaps this had been a bad idea.

Twilight nodded upon hearing Lektra Bolt's name, taking mental note to remember the mare the next time they met. She also nodded at Sparky, though she put quickly put aside her curiosity at the machine so she wouldn't become distracted. She listened to Lektra Bolt's every word. 

 

"Friends." she said in a slight deadpan once the mare had finished. She didn't comment further on that note, just turned to Trixie, who was still wrapped in the barrier. In a somewhat less angry tone, she talked plainly to her. "Trixie, your turn. Is what Lektra Bolt is saying true?

 

Just like before, it took tremendous effort on Trixie's part, but she nodded her head yes.

 

"Yes, we are," she acknowledged, "and i'm... sorry. For any damages I may have caused," she was quick to add, hoping to save at least the tiniest bit of face in all of this.

 

Twilight once again stopped and stared at the two for a second. She wanted to run her hoof through her mane in exasperation at this entire scene, but several months of etiquette training as a princess had informed her that that would be a bad move. Instead, she gently moved Trixie down to ground level before she released the spell with a pop, leaving her standing on on solid ground.

 

"You're... letting me go?" Trixie said in slight confusion. The uni...alicorn never ceased to surprise her.

 

"I'm letting you both go," Twilight replied back. "Normally, a fight on this level would be grounds for immediate dismissal from the arena, for the both of you. But, it doesn't look like anypony was hurt, and I think i'd be interrupting something important right now if I took you two in. So, you're both off the hook, provided this doesn't happen again. Got it?"

 

Trixie nodded her head rapidly, wincing slightly as she did so. At the same time, Wilhelm landed, walking over to Twilight and bowing deeply, to her embarrassment. She still wasn't comfortable with that.

 

"Wilhelm, you don't have to bow to me, we're friends. And, if you could call me Twilight..." she said, rather awkwardly. She remembered the pegasi fondly, even though when working with him, she had often found herself buried in extra work trying to correct his more wayward theories. It took her a second to notice his burnt muzzle, and a quick look of concern fell over her face.

 

"Hey, need help with that?" she said. "I'm not the best with healing magic, but I did learn some basic stuff from Celestia."

Electron Wave Storm decided to wreak straight up havoc, "I'll show them, *gathers dark clouds* I will show you all!!!! EEEYYYAAH!" EWS used the clouds along with his light speed flight to send lightning bolts in every random direction at everypony he passed, "HAHAHAHAHAH!"

 

Blizzard noticed him fly past, "That dudes as good as dead this time. But he's not my problem." Blizzard continued to read.

 

"HAHA! All of you have nothing on the air Superior of ELECTRON WAVE STORM! HAHAHAH! *bam!*" EWS wasn't paying attention and had flew into a flagpole and was knocked out cold.

sleight was starting to visibly tremble, and caliber growled. she was losing. he wanted to smack some sense into her, but she wouldn't even feel it, given where she is. 

 

"she's reacting rather badly." daria commented, eating an apple.

 

"but will she make it?"

 

"probably not. iv improved it."

 

"what?"

 

daria chuckled. "iv improved on it. its more effective."

 

now fully concerned with her sanity, caliber looked back at sleight. 'c'mon...your a strong one...you can do this...' he thought.

Wilhelm sighed. "It's a formality, nothing more. And..." Inwardly, he cast doubt on the friends issue, but merely continued with "Yes, friends. Certainly." At her look of concern and offer of treatment for simply singed fur, he would have cast his eyes to the heavens if it wasn't obvious that she wouldn't have known that he'd had worse. While Wilhelm and Twilight did share a amount of time together, it wasn't as if he'd told her about his service in the armed forces, much less that period in Saddle Arabia. No one knew, much less the undeniably att..nope, no no no no absolutely not, Wilhelm, we are not going into that again, he reminded himself. He had entertained such thoughts in the past, Wilhelm had to admit, but 1) they were never going to have the faintest glimmer of being fufilled; mares were unconducive to pure logical behavior, and 2) wasn't she dating the idiot Royal Guard who couldn't tell his buttocks from a gravitational field tensor? Realizing how long he had been immersed in his thoughts, Wilhelm said, slightly quicker than usual, "No, I'm fine. I'll merely consider it a reminder of the dangers involved with being anywhere near Lightning Girl when she's fighting." At this, he smiled wryly, as if he knew full well what he was going to have to do in the next few matches; never mind the one where he was actually going up against the mare who could crush him with a massive pillar of metal. His thoughts began to drift off into his ideas for high-strength reinforced ceramic weaponry and then abruptly halted as Wilhelm marshaled his thoughts back to the conversation at hand.

 

 

OOC: I'm assuming that for this RP, they're roughly the same age. Twilight's around 26, I would think; definitely somewhere in the lower end of her twenties if you consider how established she is in her life in canon.

Lorec smiled once again, and proudly yelled in excitement. " Then it is settled! Tonight, clan Shatterhoof and clan Krin drink until we stumble home, haha!"

 

Walking together, the two sure did look like a strange pair. After all, Lorec was tall, especially among his own brethren. And of course, Tyra was smaller than most ponies her age. Were it not for the weapons, the two would probably be mistaken for a traveling circus act. Lorec spoke aloud once more, this time in a solemn, thankful voice. However, it had a tinge of another emotion in it, but just barely.

 

" You haven't the slightest clue how much it means that you befriended Sifana. It's hard enough for a Taurette her age to make friends here, especially after everything she has been through. Looks like Ren isn't her only friend now... Hopefully, you'll be a better influence."

 

He said, slightly laughing to himself. " as a token of my thanks, allow me to buy the drinks. And feel free to even order the fancy stuff, if you like. I have the bits for it, so do not worry."

 

He said in gratitude. Lorec had been meaning to ask Tyra about something, but did not know how to ask it in a manner that had no possibility of coming off as offensive. He prayed that this did not offend her in any way.

"Aye!" Tyra agreed, throwing a hoof up in the air, then began walking alongside Lorec.

 

"I am honoured to have you and your daughter as friends," she smiled up at the minotaur, and then nodded, "I would be honoured to accept. I shall buy the next round!"

 

She smirked proudly as she shook her head at his question.

"Certainly not! My clan's blood grants me the strength of over five fully-grown workhorses! My axe has never given me trouble!" She glanced back, looking at it proudly. "I have been training to wield it since I was a filly. It was crafted by my ancestor, you see, and its blades hold pieces of my ancestors' warrior essences, up to my father's!"

Blizzard was getting a bit bored after having sat reading for so long. He tapped his hoof impatiently on the ground, "*sigh* I wonder what everypony else is doing. Probably off on their own doing their own things. I wish my power level was as good as theirs. I mean what, I beat SM with my only dynamic super move. I don't have any other super moves besides my DINE and it's still has charging risks. I think I better take a walk." Blizzard got up and began to walk slowly to take time to think about his abilities.

Lorec looked at the axe in fascination. The spirits of her ancestors? Really? It is said that powerful Tauric shamans are capable of raising the souls of the dead into their respective bodies to fight, but for a binding of souls, especially pieces of multiple souls, was thought to be all but impossible. Of course, there was Lorec's sword to consider, but that was a different story entirely.

 

" So you never fight alone? Neither do I, really. " he said smiling. If she were to ask him about the sword, he would tell her, but would not showboat rudely witn his own blade.

 

To the right, about fifty feet from their path, sat Lorec's favorite watering hole; The Riven Innards. A fine place to drink, with some liquors that could floor a pony in a single shot and make their insides feel like they were burning in Tartarus. Surely, this tavern had earned its name.
