The Elements of Disharmony

[SpikusFyre 486]

@

Spikus rolled to the side to avoid being cut by the blades that Façade had drawn on him. A thought occurred to him that there were two ways to handle the situation and both were equally dumb. {I could either take him head on with brute strength or I could try mind games via insults. Either way there is a high likelihood that I could get a blade to the anywhere... Lets do this!} Spikus flew into the air to where it would be easier to maneuver away from the weapons that the other pegasus wielded and a smirk formed on face. "Wow for someone who's modus opperandi for a long period of time was lying you blew your cover pretty early on like an idiot, but then again what should I have expected from somepony who can't even keep their mouth shut to avoid suspicion." he said as he thought to himself {I'm probably going to not be very in tact after this... I'm still going to do it anyways!"

[DarkHaert 277]

"Ha! For I have revealed anything? Lies are an art, something which you do not understand simple pony! I am trying to save you and your idiocratic lot. But yet, you resist! I lie for your benefit, and yet you stand doing nothing! Is there a mind in that supposed skull? Or does constant violence cause yours to rot?" Façade launched up into the sky and spiraled down, and then kicked Spikus in the head, following up with a hard slap with a flat of his blade.

"C'mon Spiky! I know you can do better! You have skill!" Façade knocked Spikus's hooves from under him, and then pointed the blade at his throat. Façade stared at him, hard. Façade's eyes started to show red flecks, showing his anger. Façade held the blade at Spikus's throat. He knew he could very well kill Spikus, but Façade was not going to kill someone who was just as confused as he had been.

[SpikusFyre 486]

Spikus was dazed from being kicked in the head and knocked over but upon being called Spikey his anger reached it's peak. He bit the blade and tore it away from Façade bringing his hoof up to knock Façade off of him. Spitting the blade out he exploded toward Façade like a rocket smashing into him headfirst and slamming him to the floor. He repeatedly punched(?) Façade in the face while yelling. "Never call me Spikey!"

[DarkHaert 277]

Façade was being pounded on, and then Façade remembered the purified howlite. "How's a little purification, Spikey?" Taunted Façade and he stabbed Spikus in the chest with the howlite, and watched it start to drain away the element of cruelty out of Spikus. "It has a peculiar effect on the Elements of Disharmony Spikus, I wonder what will happen to you?"

[BrineBlade 28]

"Finally," I muttered, noticing I was almost back in Ponyville, "It may have taken three days, but I was able to get the sapphire requested." It was'nt much longer that I saw Ponyville, and as the train got off, I saw what appeared to be a burn mark on the train station. I breathed a sigh of comfort, "Same old Ponyville, attracting the attention of anypony wacky." As I got off the train, I noticed that Sugarcube Corners was cleaning up from another rainbow bomb. I chuckled, wondering how the prankster was able to do it. I stopped in to see if they had any chocolate chip muffins. Buying a blue muffin with yellow chips, I munched on it while walking home. I then got to work making a coating for a metal table, getting the engravings on the cover just right. After I finished making the table, I used the extra sapphire to continue with an idea for a new type of armor for the Royal Guard.

Spikey! Over here!

As Alpha still had the invisibility spell on himself, he floated around taunting Spikus, as he quickly whipped his head around, not knowing where it came from... Alpha chuckles, and muttered to himself Wow! I never knew making other ponies mad was so fun! Alpha opens a portal, a small stone falls out, and into Alphas hoof, and he enchanted it. He flew to Façade and whispered to him, while still invisible Hey, it's Alpha, I enchanted a sound stone to repeat his name really loud, and it should keep his guard down, he sure looks confused, I sense a srong presence in ponyville, I must check it out!

@,

 

"Alright" Façade took the stone. Façade threw the stone into a bush, and flew away to find Fuchowa. Façade saw Fuchowa, and landed before him. Façade was terrified, he felt his blood run cold before the Dark Prince. "Fuchowa! What we are doing here is wrong. I shall not help you."

 

Fuchowa grinned with his back to Façade, and then whipped around, his black ether mess of hair becoming jagged and more energized. "I knew you were a liability, Façade, but an idiot? Not so much, what gave such stupid courage to face me? You are but a simple piece, easily replaced." Fuchowa's horn glowed a dark purple-black and threw Façade against a tree, and he summoned a portal to who knows where and threw Façade into the portal. Closing it Fuchowa summoned the Elements of Disharmony. The time to destroy the Elements of Harmony and the Princesses had come. He smiled, a terrifying visage, and remarked, "A thousand years of planning coming to fruition." Fuchowa send a jolt of energy into the Elements of Disharmony, instantly giving them what their deepest want. "Come to me my Elements, the time is at hoof!"

Alpha quickly felt a magic surge, even from the cave, dazing him. When he regained consciousness, he quickly sensed for everyponies aura, ok, I think I know where everypony is... Wait, where'd façade go? Dear Celestia, could it be? as he quickly gasped. Now it was even more important to accomplish their mission, now his friends need me...

Alpha quickly remembered the scroll, not the one he gave to Missklang, but the one he enchanted through the portal, and quickly sent it to façade, along with a magic quill to him...(OOC: Darkhaert, basically I gave you a mini Sunset Shimmer book, you write on the scroll, I get it and see it, and vise versa)

Oh, I hope Façade is ok, where ever he is

Façade woke up, and his shoulder was bleeding, his head pounded, and his hears rang. He looked about and saw Equestria, though everything had moving shadows coming off it. He then saw it, it formed out of the shadow of the Tree of Harmony, the large shadow creature, the grass died where it's two feet touched the ground. Façade looked up at the creature, it was over 6 meters tall, spikes adorned it's head and shoulders. It's body coalesced of pure shadow and cold. It regarded the Façade for a moment, it's eyes white flames. It spoke in a voice that radiated malice and anger. "I created the Elements of Disharmony to oppose the Elements of Harmony when they came to this world. Not to destroy, just to be equal. And now the balance is broken, I know of your struggle Façade, you were darkness, but now you're part of the light. Not easy. Highly Unstable." The Shadow paused, and then said "there is a message to you. Write back, do not let Alpha know where you are."

 

@,

 

Façade scrawled, "I'm shaken, but safe, a little preoccupied now..." And the scroll burned up.

 

The shadow looked over Façade, "I propose a trade, Fuchowa for your freedom. Simple. Here's a a token of my goodwill. But you will be tainted with shadow magic until you deliver Fuchowa, and so will Alpha and Missklang. Your coat will be darker, and your eyes will have shadow streaming off them, your pupils white. You will be a Nightwalker for a short while.

After drawing up the prototype, showing how it could be effective, I wrapped up the prototype and stopped, grabbing a sculpture I had made from gold and silver, depicting Celestia and Luna as best as possible. I decided to send them as separate packages. Accompanying the shield was a letter better describing the shield and its abilities, whilst the sculpture I sent directly to the princess with this message:

 

Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle,

Included in the package is a sculpture I handcrafted depicting Princess Celestia and Princess Luna for their memoriam. I'm sorry if this brings your day down, but I hope you can forgive me if so. In any case, I hope that this can be given to them. I will understand in case you do return the package. Either way, I hope you have a good day.

- Salt Slice

 

I attached the letter to the package and shipped both packages.

The thing that Facade had attached to Spikus shorted out and fell away while the sound stone quit speaking leaving Spikus in the cave at maximum anger. The Element of Cruelty around his neck was pulsating causing his eyes to glow with the intensity of his rage. Raw unrefined power seemed to be emanating from him cracking the ground with every step he took. He had become that which he had perceived himself as... A being of pure hatred. However, with this rage came a cost... Spikus rushed from the cave back towards Ponyville leaving destruction in his wake. He ran through anything in his path cracking boulders in half and tearing trees from their roots only one thing seemed to be on his mind. Raze the peaceful town of Ponyville.

Ponyville, Soikus's Rampage.

 

The shadows moved from everywhere in town and were absorbed in a writhing black mass of shadow. The shadow calmed and opened it's eyes. They were white after all. Façade looked over the town and saw what Spikus was doing. Façade knew Missklang and Alpha would probably experience the adverse effects of the Nightwalker very soon. Façade found Spikus and shouted, "SPIKUS! WHERE IS YOUR DARK MASTER!?!?!? FOR I HAVE A DEBT TO SETTLE!!!!!" Façade's voice sounded like a demon, and he noticed a mare, whose breath could be seen in the air and was shivering, Façade spoke quietly in a hushed tone, "Evacuate Ponyville, Spikus has a lot of power, and even now as I am, I might not be able to take him. So go!"

[BrineBlade 28]

Glancing out the window, I noticed what looked like... well I don't know exactly, destroying buildings and harming people. I quickly grabbed my sword before stepping out, trying to figure out where the creature was. After hearing the booming roar of what looked like some Nightmare creature, I sighed, "Spikus, whatever you are, show yourself!" I belted before holding my sword in a defensive stance.

[DarkHaert 277]

Nightwalker Façade saw the pony with the sword, and he moved over to him. You're an Element of Harmony correct? If so, then you need to find Missklang and Alpha, they are setting up a trap. They will need your help!" Façade noticed how scary his voice sounded and hoped the lad wouldn't get scared. "I'll hold off Spikus, for Fuchowa is coming!"

[BrineBlade 28]

"Element of Harmony? Missklang? Alpha? I have no idea what you're talking about, but if you say you can take this Spikus, then tell me where Missklang and Alpha are, so I can hold them off." I said to the Nightmare creature, still defensive in case of Spikus.

[Missklang 1,053]

@,@@BrineBlade

Boom!

Missklang appeared between the two ponies. He was dark as night, with glowy white eyes. His mane was glowing white too.

"Ok! Here's the plan. I already teleported everypony from here. He is the last one, when I teleport with him, I will put Poninville in a local time loop, bound to you and Spikus. This means while you are alive, you will be stuck at this moment forever. When one of you is either unconscious or dead, the spell will break and you will be able to come out. For you, time will pass, for us, you would be absent for a minute. Even if you passed years fighting. So good luck. And also, feel free to destroy everything. Once the spell is broken, Everything except you two would revert to pre-time loop state. And by the way, nice glowy magic."

He grabbed Salt Slice and teleported himself and the pony to Twilight (targeted teleportation. He don't know where is she but he teleported to her position).

 

OOC: If you somebody else is in Poniville, they will be stuck in the time loop too.

[BrineBlade 28]

As confused as I was between the teleporting pony and the Nightmare creature, I had no choice to comply as the darkly colored pony teleported us away. As I landed it was hard to make out where we were, never having been teleported before, I asked the pony, "Who are you? And what's this about me being an Element of Harmony?"

[Missklang 1,053]

 

 

"Who are you? And what's this about me being an Element of Harmony?"

 

 

"Don't be afraid. One second..."

 

Missklang's horn glowed, putting him under a visual spell, making him look as his usual self. 

 

"So basically, you are, with six others destined to save Equestria from certain doom. If you fail, millions will die or be enslaved by an Evil tyrant Fuchowa. And the elements are the only weapon that could stop them...This is the short version. Let me explain a bit better:"

 

Missklang, during some minutes, told Salt Slice about everything that happened in details...

 

"...and then I went back in time and brought the elements of harmony to present days. After Facade got in a fight with Spikus and turned into a shadow thing. Transforming me as well. You know the rest..."

[BrineBlade 28]

"Great, a new evil of ultimate power...so where is Princess Twilight? Since we're supposed to be protecting her, shouldn't we be with her?" I asked Missklang, not mentioning anything that Facade had said about this being a trap. "In fact, where are we?" I also ask, still blurry after the teleportation.

[Night Shadow/Daw 170]

Alpha took a small breath, and closed his eyes and flicked on the tv. Sadly, nothing came on, for it was in the zenithian dimension, or in other words a small dimensional plane, very small, and where time passes quite slowly, everything here was made of pure magic, for example, the tv took a few months to conjure, as every day, he added a piece to it. It was a small gift from Discord, who was now strangely missing. ~CLUNK~ a scroll dropped on to the floor.

"I'm shaken, but safe, a little preoccupied now...".

Alpha breathed a sigh of relief and went back to fixing his time wavier, Ok, I'll work on it some more next time, ahhh, how much I love peace and quiet, I should really get going back to the real world. And with that, he teleports to Missklang

Missklang! Who's that with you? And why are you and Façade are weird colored? S this one of your color bomb pranks?

As Alpha finished his questions, he felt a slight ripple in a certain dimensional plane, but quickly ignored it...

[BrineBlade 28]

"I'm Salt Slice, for some reason Facade and Missklang think I'm one of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. Either way, I'm here to help. Guessing by the fact that you used chaos magic, you're Alpha, right? Anyways, we need to get to Princess Twilight, for I fear she is in danger from this Fuchowa that I keep hearing about." I say to them, tensing up just in case this really is a trap.

@@SpikusFyre,

 

Façade saw Spikus, and hoped he had enough power to take him down. Façade walked to the center of the time frozen Ponyville. Façade's hooves had streaming shadows coming off them. "A mere shadow can do more than you think." Façade heard the cold voice of the Nightwalker. Façade decided to summon a blade made of shadow. Façade then waited for Spikus to notice him. Façade pulled out a tape recording of him taunting Spikus using his hated nickname. Façade briefly wondered how it got here. But it would work for his plan. Façade set it to repeat indefinitely, and Façade found a DJ station that had a hook up for the tape recorder. The DJ station blasted the taunts and Façade proceed to wait, sharpening the shadow blade on the fountain in town square.

[Missklang 1,053]

"Hey, Alpha! how are you? Where you've been? How you know I'm strangely colored? Can you see through the illusion I put on myself? Facade is in Poniville. He is going to battle with the element of cruelty... Why do I think he is one of the elements? Let me demonstrate..."

 

Missklang quickly pulled the generosity boulder stone from his bag and dropped it on Salt. The stone make Salt fell on the floor from it weight, but as soon as it touched him, it started to glow purple and the diamond shape carved on it emitted bright light.

 

"Fancy right? Mine glows too when I hold it. But only half as bright, though..."

[SpikusFyre 486]

Spikus payed no attention as the town was evacuated and continued tearing through buildings. Any words spoken to him were lost on him as his rage had slowed his thought processes to a crawl. He turned his gaze to where the continuously repeating sounds were coming from and saw a face that even in his blind rage he could recognize as the pony that had injured him. Steam poured from his nose as he charged towards Facade cracking the ground behind him as he ran. He launched into the air and came crashing down like a meteor directly at Facade.

[DarkHaert 277]

@@SpikusFyre,

 

Façade heard Spikus coming down the street. He looked up and saw Spikus coming, he stepped about a foot to the side and let Spikus crash right into the fountain. Façade walked a safe distance away before Spikus could recover. He remarked simply, "Spikus, you're better than this blind rage. Lay your weapons down." Façade figured out how he was going to make Spikus wake up to see that the Elements of Disharmony. Façade looked at the nice shadow blade and dropped it on the ground. It exploded into shadow and flowed away. Defenseless Façade stood defiant.
