open The Brigade Of Celestial Light

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Caras: "Fire."

 

5000 high powered orbs of magic started their barrage upon the city. Each impact tearing apart the landscape and disintegrating almost all of the archers caught in the air. Building where destroyed and hundreds of Divines died. The ones that survived had moral shaken. They where physically shaking. Once the attack was over, the 10000 elite troop with Caras started to make their advance, while the other 10000 from Hell Above to the north of the battle, started to walk away.

Niruna: "Onii-Chan? Do you feel that aura. It feels like love. It makes me feel a little sick. It's strange. Not physical sick but, just not a good feeling sick. I don't want to go near it."

 

Simple: "It's ok. This is one of my friends, belive me, she won't hurt you. It's best that we go to her. She can protect us, can you please just try and put up with it?"

 

Niruna: "Okay Onii-Chan. Let's go."

 

Simple and Niruna made their way to the spire where Chrysteel was producing her aura. "Hey, Chrysteel. How's it going?"

 

Niruna was hiding behind Simple, just poking her head out from behind him. She was looking at her with mixed fear and curiosity.

Chrysteel was holding onto the connecting posts to the spire. Her aura shifts to be more encourageing then loving. "A hope to drive away fear! May my hope fill your hearts."

 

After she gave all she could for moral and hopes to bring this battle to a close she releases herself. And hovers a moment before touching down. She looks to the young princess and bows to her. She says, "Fear me not, little lady. I am a friend. I seek what he seeks, peace. Your heart I have detected before and the Love you feel shouldn't harm you. It is a mother's love. A love you should be familiar with."

 

The devil girl can tell the aura wasn't ment to harm. She can also tell it is all around her.

 

Chrysteel looks to Simple and asks, "All is not well. Caras has launched a greater attack of magic against the city. I feel his anger and his rage but I can't seem to calm him. I wish peace and if I can obtain my final evolution, we might be able to obtain it. A flutterling only wishes to see a love grow. It is neither good nor evil in heart."

 

The devil girl can see the sadness of current events on Chrysteel's face. "So many will die for something that is missing. Something doesn't sit right with me. What did you discover about Hell Above? If I understand both sides we can probably make this a stalemate."

Resistance was minimal. The Divines in their strength stood no chance against the power that the elite troops had.

 

Caras: "What a slaughter. Where is the challenge. Tempest Sol? Where are you? Trying to stop me is your thing. Don't tell me you got cold hooves."

 

Sword: "I shall be your opponent today you vile beast. The sword of the Goddess does not lose to scum like you. Go back to Hell in pieces you Shit."

 

Caras: "You can just die right now."

 

With a single slash, Caras cut his blade through the air and shot a large beam of solar magic. Cutting the buildings in front of him in a clean cut. And sword was caught right in the middle of the slash, cutting of his front and back right hooves. Swords body fell to the ground almost limp. "You Shit. Killing me will anger the Goddess. The wrath of the divines will be brought down On you like your fire rains upon the mortals."

 

Caras: "I happily await that day." Caras grabbed Sword at his neck and tore his head clean off his body with his bare hooves. "A bloody kill. Beautiful."

Simple: "I discovered that the Devils are actually quite a misunderstood race of beings. The aggression is as natural to them as food is to us. They cannot help it. I also learned a bit of their past. As it seems, Devils carry an extreme amount of honour in their names and are often blinded by pride. They know this as a species and recognise it as a weakness. And millenia ago, the Divines and Mortals resented their violent instincts and crushed their honour. They cannot find it in themselves to forgive the world. It's simply impossible. If we want peace, we can have it. We simply have to stop resenting them, and they need to be able to forgive the world. The second part is much more difficult. But as Niruna shows, possible."

 

Niruna: "Sorry. But your aura makes me feel sickly Inside. I don't mean to insult you, but it's simply the way we exist. Your aura of light and love is not the nicest feeling, but I do feel the motherly love coming from you. And that's nice. Sorry, my name is Niruna Lucifer. Daughter of the Devil Lord Itsuki Lucifer. Please to meet you."

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest cut through any demon that was foolish enough to attack him as he heard Naga's voice. "Thank you." He said as he slammed the blades of his swords into the ground, causing spikes of aura to impale any demon within a five foot circumference of him. "Caras, I'm coming for you."

 

Xena smirked and laughed a bit. "Knowing Tempest, he should be fine." He said. "He's gone through hel and back, and that was without his full strength."

 

Dawn saw Caras kill Sword and shot multiple arrows at him. As far as she was concerned, he was the cause of all of this.

Please to meet you."

Chrysteel's aura sifts to a more Neutral state. its power is neither light nor dark but still love is there. "I apologize. I was only doing what i can to keep a neutral aura near him. His shadow is a dark one and if not properly held, can be a dangerous one to friend and foe alike."

 

She shifts her stance, "Love is neither light or darkness. Love is a balance. It is a pleasure to meet you Lady Niruna. My name is Chrysteel Amorè Chrysalis. Now before this area in over ran by furious others. I think we need to make haste northward. I wish to see your home and how you live. If they try to harm either you or me, then they will find a mother's furry is their problem now."

 

She suddenly looks east. "He is gone. Sword...." Chrysteel looks saddened, her colors drain from her coat, tail, mane and carapace.

@@Drago Ryder, Caras caught the arrows being shot at him in a telekinetic grasp and fired them back at Dawn, while also launching himself at her with his sword drawn and killing intent behind his helmet. No one was going to stop him now, the battle is already won. And if they continue to fight much longer, it will only hurt themselves more than the Devils. Once he was within striking range of Dawn, he slashed at her with his sword in its extended form, burning at temperatures equal to the fires of Hell in which it was forged.

 

@@Midnight_Aurora, 

 

Zecz: "Lady Niruna! How many times must you be told not to run off like that. You had us worried that something might have happened to you. Thank the Lord Below that you are safe. Next time, don't let her run off like that Simple."

 

Simple: "Sorry."

 

Zecz attention was drawn to the Changeling who was draining of all colour, an odd sight indeed. "Excuse me? Ma'am? Do you require any assistance? You seem down."

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

"He is Gone. One hope for a chance at peace." Chrysteel looks to the one called Zecz and says, "Lost one hope but many remain and new ones come into view." Zecz can feel the sadness of Chrysteel's aura but also the Love a mother has for her children and hope that even the most frightful of beings tend to shy away from. She then says, "We Changelings are very emotional beings, when hit with a strong enough emotion. I was just hit with overwhelming sadness. May I help escort the Lady back to Hell Above? I am no threat and will honor and resprespect your laws and traditions. But be warned, any who harm those two or myself and underestimate me will be left hurting." She sits up. The sadness looks to be remaining for a while but she looks well enough. She awaits his answer.

Dawn screamed as a burning pain coursed through her body. The alicorn also found herself unable to fly due to the pain and tried to soften her landing.

 

Tempest heard Dawn's scream and saw her falling. He quickly caught her and set her on the ground. She was barely alive, but he could feel a faint pulse. At that moment, the bat pony growled in anger and turned to face Caras. There was a look of pure hatred for the demon within his eyes. Caras had crossed the line by hurting Dawn and he wasn't about to stop without a fight. "Caras! You want me, well here I am." He roared. The aura around the pony became more erratic as two separate tails sprouted from his body. His teeth sharpened into fangs and his very body began to shift into that of a wolf, more specifically, Xena. His fur became matted and bones could be heard as they broke, grew, and healed. The bat pony then fired multiple aura spheres at Caras. He wasn't going to hold back.

[Child Of Darkness 285]

@@Drago Ryder, "A battle between us with no holds barred? You do remember who I am right? I am your worst Nightmare. Or at least I will be. I've picked up a few new tricks since we last encountered each other. Allow me to show you one." Caras dissipated into smoke to hide himself from vision and protect him from physical damage, while increasing his ability to dodge attacks. What he did next, was cast a spell onto Dawns near dead body. One of his new Nightmare techniques that twist the mind of a pony, making them see things not as they are, and Caras made her see and hear Tempest as a Demon. "You can fight and kill me, but can you kill the one you love?"

 

(You can still control her while she is in this state)

 

@@Midnight_Aurora, Niruna: "I have one last thing I want to do before I leave. I want to see how Caras is doing. I'm worried about him, he does some reckless things sometimes and he needs someone to tell him no. Can we go and find him, please?"

 

Simple: "Niru, I don't think that is a good idea. Caras will be fighting the leader of this place. You'll get hurt. He seems like the sort who can handle himself. Let's get you home Niru."

 

Niruna: "No!" She jumped from the building and took off into the sky, looking for Caras. It was nit long before she found him and hid away from sight, watching him do battle with a monster.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel says, "He is fighting with Tempest. He has hurt one who tempest cares for and they will not be holding back. Their rage is not one to be taken lightly."

 

Chrysteel stands shakingly and makes to follow. She watches what's comes next, her aura nearly fully surpressed.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest took a second to realize what Caras had done and dodged out of the way of an ice spike that shot out of the ground. He looked back to see Dawn slowly standing up, but something was wrong. Her eyes were glazed over, but there was no indication that the spell had failed. "No." He muttered as he felt an arrow pierce his leg, causing him to wince in pain. "Naga. If you have any ideas, now would be the time.

 

Dawn growled as she fired multiple ice spikes at the demon she saw Xena as, seemingly ignoring Caras. "You will not take this city." She said, seemingly in a daze. The alicorn's aura then surrounded her.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel looks even sadder. "Two who love eachother shouldn't fight like this. I must act."

 

@Drago Ryder

Chrysteel's horn glows. Tempest feels a new presence on his mind. Chrysteel says, 'Tempest get close to her and I can help you. Love will show the truth.'

 

Chrysteel fidgits uncomfortablely in the air, as she waits for the mental reply from Tempest.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest nodded and dodged another arrow. The bat pony knew he had be to quick on his feet and galloped towards Dawn, dodging ice spikes and arrows. A few managed to graze him or simply pierce his skin, but he had to ignore the pain to save the one he loved. He then quickly disarmed Dawn and surprised her with a tight hug. "Ok, Chrysteel. Do it." He thought as Dawn struggled to break free. His body was covered in wounds that didn't want to heal and was bleeding a bit. His body was also slowly returning to normal.

A pink blur can be seen as it gets next to the two. Niru saw Chrysteel suddenly dive towards the combat. Her speed must have been affected by the now pink look she has. That love feeling much stronger.

 

As Chrysteel touches the two the Love between them glows into the aura. "May True Love's Gift Show With True Sight."

 

(Tempest Love's Sight shows only the truth. It like a love counter spell.)

What a scene, they're trying to hard to save her. Their will be no better time to strike. Caras flew behind Dawn in his smoke form and solidified in motion with his sword drawn, and thrust is through Dawns back, which simultaneously stabs Tempest through the Stomach in a non fatal wound. He slightly raised the temperature of his sword to cause some major burns within the wounds, sealing them and preventing blood loss. "Was this all it takes? How weak have you gotten? I almost feel sorry for you. You have fallen so far, and you can't even stop me. It makes me sad, I was wishing for a good fight like the old days."

 

Niruna was hiding behind Simple Who was holding her to protect her from what was going on nearby.

 

Niruna: "I take it back. I want to go home. Please take me home." She started to cry while being held by Simple.

 

Simple: "Let's go." The two of them turned to leave the city and started to head north to Hell Above.

Naga spoke into Tempest's consciousness. Tempest was heavily wounded, that much, Naga could tell.

 

' Tempest, we knew we would lose this city! It's only a matter of time before we are overrun! Take dawn and the others, and flee if you can! Use the third eye of awakening that i grant while connected to you! Use it to temporarily ignore the pain and increase the vectors of your abilities! A full retreat is what we are In need of! If you take anymore damage... I don't know what will happen since I'm in here with you! My Vetala instincts could override your mind and then... You don't want to know. Run Tempest! Get Dawn, and Run! Collect Cheysteel as well! We cannot best him in our current state!"

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel's aura suddenly turned Dark towards Caras. "You know nothing of the true love shared by these two! Now Back off, before a mother becomes your worst nightmare demonlord. The damage you can do, I can heal faster."

 

As if to prove her point, the aura had already stared to affect the two he stabbed. Chrysteel grabs his sword, and with a surprising amount of strength pulls it from them. She now stands between them and him. "Love is my life. Love is my purpose. I only honor those who show love and honor in return. You dishonored a loving couple today Caras. Do not expect to earn my trust anytime soon."

 

With a flash of blinding pink light, Chrysteel teleported the two away and appeared next to the princess. "Simple, let's take the princess home." She then began walking calmly with the two. "I am sorry Princess. I didn't wish for you to see me in that state. To hurt a love is one of the many things that will make me madder then a dragon frenzy."

With a flash of blinding pink light, Chrysteel teleported the two away and appeared next to the princess. "Simple, let's take the princess home."

It was not hard to follow where everyone had been teleported to, but Tempest and Dawn have been dealt with. His problem now was that Chrysteel's aura was coming from the same location that Niruna was. After what just happened, this was something he was not going to accept. Caras teleported to Niruna's side and gave a glare at Chrysteel. "Step away from the Girl. I've got enough troubles to deal with right now, and you're square top of my list." Caras formed an Orb of fire in one of his hooves. "So back away, because I will kill you."

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel says, "To you I have no trust for harming a loveing couple. To her I will trust. She holds a key you do not. Should any attempt to harm her, I will make them wish they never existed. This is my promise to her."

 

Chrysteel's aura is fully surpressed and her presence and strength becomes an unknown factor. She doesn't leave her but she isn't a threat either. She stands as a protective mother over a youngling.

 

She looks to Caras and says, "Only by her request will I leave. Kill me and you will not know why I didn't attack you, when you angered me. I showed compasion. In a manor of speaking I still showed you a form of respect. By not attacking I chose to remain Neutral. I never once hit you. Not even my aura delt damage."

Edited May 16, 2015 by Midnight_Aurora

[Child Of Darkness 285]

"You have chosen the side you favour. Say you are neutral all you wish, but a pony like you could never sympathise with beings like us. You want peace. I can understand that, but things are more complicated that you may have originally imagined. We have a history with the world that we cannot forget or forgive." Caras was starting to tear up himself, before lowering his magic. "These events are more than just skin deep. I'm trying to protect my race, just as you do. Except our methods are more violent. I don't ask for sympathy For my race. But understand, if peace is possible, I'm all for it. But it cannot be done. Come on Niruna. We're going home."

 

Niruna: "Okay Caras-Oniisama. Can Chrysteel come with us?"

 

Caras: "Fine."

 

Niruna: "Thanks, I love you Onii-Sama."

 

Caras: "And I to you also. Come on."

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Chrysteel follows and says, "The path to peace may hide in Understanding what started all of this. The mortals have all been torn between weather to like or hate your kind. The divines consider you an out right bad and evil thing for the mortal world. Now I wish to see the Devil's side of things. Part of Mother's original path for my kind makes us a more open minded and empathic culture. I wish to learn your side of the story. I feel that the other two sides are missing some very important information."

 

Chrysteel follows them as they get close she asks, "I wish to understand your culture and traditions. Would I be able to experience them? I feel i would better understand your kind by 'doing as you do' or however that old saying goes. But I also seek to better understand the Flutterlings as well. From what I heard the flutterlings were created for the sole purpose of nurturing loves of all kinds and making them grow. As Mother originally wished. However something made them what are now called the Changelings."

Tempest and Dawn, thanks to Chrysteel, landed  a few miles away from the crystal empire. Both ponies were heavily wounded, but that didn't stop Tempest from limping to Dawn. He could see the blood pooling underneath her and felt his resolve begin to break. "No, please. Don't die. I can't lose you." The bat pony said after sitting and holding his dying marefriend close to him. Tempest's aura then flowed around him and began to heal Dawn's wounds.

 

Dawn's eyes slowly opened and she saw the absolute fear on her coltfriend's face. "Tempest, it'll be ok." She said, weak from blood loss. "Just, leave me and go help the others. I'm... not. w..worth it."

 

Tempest shook his head as tears rolled down his muzzle. "I'm not leaving you to die, Dawn. I've lost so much, but I won't lose you." His tone was pleading, as if asking for death not to take Dawn.

 

Both aura beasts watched from their respective holders and tried to help the best they could. Xena gave Tempest his power while Baz used her own to slowly heal Dawn's broken body. "If Nephyer is alive, I'll kill him if he takes her." Xena muttered under his breath, not paying attention to Naga.

"Their is now information that is missing. The Divines know damn well why we do what we do. And they also know how to solve the problems, but they refuse on the grounds that we will cause problems for mortals and cause a shift to balance of power. And on the grounds they say, they are correct. You say you want to learn our culture and traditions. Experiencing them will teach you our ways, but they are quite brutal and a good number die every month. Just hang around in Hell Above for a few days and you'll see our traditions in the street. Battles and competitions between houses, not to mention the Games are tonight between The House of Lucifer and Zecz. A good battle indeed. If you wish to learn, talk to me later, right now let's just get back to the city. Another 5 minutes if we keep pace."

 

Niruna was riding on Caras' back and had fallen asleep.

 

Simple: "She's so peaceful when she's asleep. Such a difference from how she is when awake. Times like this we can see her as just another little girl and it makes not difference between Devil, mortal or divine. We're all all the all the same all the same at out core."

Feeling soon returned to Dawn's body as she recovered from the previous fight. When she managed to muster the strength to look around, she noticed that Tempest was the only one there. "What happened?" She asked, feeling dread creep up in her. The alicorn then tried to stand and felt a bit light headed, but that quickly passed.

 

Tempest sighed as he explained everything that had happened while they were in the crystal empire. "I don't know where the others are, but I believe it is in our best interest to return to Equestria. We can figure out what to do next there." He said, slowly standing up. Dawn protested that he was in no condition to travel, but he simply put her on his back and took off into the air. The bat pony was going into whatever was to come blind and had no plan at all.

Golden Leaf: "Tempest! Dawn! You survived." Golden Leaf came down from the clouds, blood soaked in both her own blood and Devil blood. She was staring to cry seeing the condition the two where in. Particularly Dawn. "I'm sorry. I could not have anticipated their surprise attack. And since we lost Sword, things are looking harsh. More died than needed and it looks like we need to run. Someone may have been following me and it doesn't look like we can fight in this state. Let's keep moving to Equestria. Hopefully we are not being followed." Edited May 16, 2015 by Child of Darkness

Tempest nodded slightly. "It's good to see a friendly face, either way." He said. "And trust me, no one could've known that this would happen. Not all timelines can be seen. Also, Naga has taken residence in my mind for the time being. Do you know what might've become of the others?"

 

Dawn, at this point, was unconscious due to exhaustion. It would be a few hours until she woke, but hopefully it would help.
