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

Cloud smirked with interest at the sword, starting to wonder where she might get herself one. It'd look pretty cool on her own back.

"Alive?" She asked, craning her neck closer to it, "Why do you say that?"

"it's kinda difficult to say. I don't know everything about the sword yet. I do know that whenever I use it, my energy and emotions seem to flow through it, making it more powerful. It also seems to react violently to thieves..." Lightning pause before chuckling to himself. "Like for example, a group of diamond dog "bandits" that once thought it would be a good idea to try to take it. I don't think they ever be stealing again any time soon."

 

Lightning then thought that it would probably be polite to ask Cloud about her, as so far they had just been talking about him and his sword."But, how about you? Did you bring anything for the arena? Anything besides your wings, that is?"

[Unicorncob 5,689]

He blushed at her snicker, for an instant flashing back to his old school room in front of the class for show and tell, with only an old potato.  

 

'Ahem yes. I did. I didn't get very far, and after everyone who was thinking about following was convinced otherwise, I may have blustered more then I should have... I could have had it... if I was patient, and maybe a bit more moderate. Or kept my future polices on a down low," he sighed "I don't know, I failed and was run out of town, so yes I tried.

 

It was a wild dream, that should perhaps die...but never will." he laughed sadly 

 

"Never say never," Starlight assured him, an almost mischievous glint in her eyes, "You've learned from your mistakes...who's to say you couldn't try again in a while?" She winked.

 

 

The carriage bounced lightly on the stone road "  So how is the school doing?... As I recall, they told me that their mail room was in disarray... Last time I sent a set of my poems and an offer as an arts tutor... Seems to happen often over there..." he was on the verge of suspicion. But surely they wouldn't ignore him, a royal personage after all?

 

Indus felt a twinge of amusement in his chest at Blueblood's accusation. He had heard around the school staff room about the Prince's insistence to teach there, and their obvious exasperation in response to it.

 

"Yes, one of our younger students accidentally cast a spell in the mail room," He explained, taking a sip of wine, "causing letters, supplies and all sorts of equipment to come to life. It's still being cleaned up."

 

A cheeky smirk escaped him. "But other than that, the school is doing rather well."

"it's kinda difficult to say. I don't know everything about the sword yet. I do know that whenever I use it, my energy and emotions seem to flow through it, making it more powerful.

Cloud nodded, understanding but not exactly. This sword seemed to be some kind of 'trouble detector'. She giggled internally at the idea. "Sounds like you really taught them!"

 

At his question, she blinked and looked down at her wings, giving them a small self-conscious ruffle. "Well, I used to take hoof-to-hoof combat classes, so if I fight, I can try using that."

Celestia left the hospital, though only first after accepting the care of Nurse Redheart. Rather, she hadn't seemed to have had a choice; the auspicious Earth pony had refused to let her leave without checking her for injuries. Having found none, save a few so small they would naturally heal on their own she discharged Celestia, who immediately began the walk back to her quarters. She shifted to her unicorn form; small, jet black mane, and a cutie mark with three smiling suns.She walked slowly and unassumingly, so as not to draw attention; with rest would come morning, and the return of her powers, but she couldn't be too careful until then.

@J.R.

Twilight took the path through the air, unfolding her plan above the others as she took short flaps to stay aloft.

 

"Okay. So what we know is that none of this is a coincidence. Someone breaks into the deepest part of the royal Canterlot archives and steals an artifact that's capable of taking alicorn magic, and now Cadence takes a walk and suddenly loses her power? That's too much common relation to ignore. There's only one conclusion; somepony's out there looking for alicorns. And I don't know what they're going to do with the magic they've taken, but its nothing good."

 

Twilight sped up slightly, causing Sunset Shimmer and Trixie to trot to keep pace.

 

"Now, the plan is simple; we cause a ruckus, while at the same time fooling whoever the thief is into thinking i'm alone and vulnerable. When they come to take my magic, we surround whoever it is, and we stop them." Explanation finished, Twilight continued to fly forward at a steady pace towards the forest.

"We could... but I don't think we'd learn much from it. I'm not that good with hoof-to hoof fighting myself." Rain Shadow took a small sigh, grinned, and rubbed the back of her head awkwardly; it'd been ten minutes, and she'd already let somepony down. "Sorry I couldn't be that much help to you. This traveling business sounds pretty important."

"Woop!" Pinkie Pie ducked under the pile of boxes as soon as Ash finished. She slid the massive pile down onto the small of her back perfectly, despite the nearly impossible dimensions, and smiled at Ash as she walked forward; the boxes didn't even tilt as she moved.

 

"You see! Real friends help you share the load! And this is one ginormous load you've been carrying. Now, one of us could carry the whole thing by ourselves and be tired and sore and grouchy, Or..." Pinkie put up a wide grin. "We could split it, half and half, and be awake and not sore and not grouchy. Whadoyousay, Ashy?" She grinned; the strain didn't seem to bother her at all.

Luna stood alone in the darkness of the World of Shadows. She looked around, peering at the walls and ceilings of chains, and the shadowy borders, before she exhaled deeply.

 

"It was my misery that caused this. As it was with the Tantabus. As it was a thousand years ago. As it was here." 

 

She took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.

 

"No more. We bury the past today." Luna concentrated, and dark blue light streamed from her horn, joining together on a spot in front of the bed she had just slept in. When it was finished, and surged back into her horn, there were two gravestones sitting in front of her; one for Nightmare Moon, and one for Eclipse.

 

"My most hated enemy, and my dearest friend. To each of you; sleep in peace, and rest softly." Dark magic started to pool under Luna, dragging her back down through the floor of the black world as she looked silently on.

@@Fractured,

Ice shook his head. The plan seemed too simplistic, and too good to be true, for multiple reasons, as he poke to himself, "Ugh..and I wonder how she expects that to work. What if whoever this is manages to see there's more than one of us? What if they manage to take your magic anyway? How do we know they'll even come for you? Damn, this plan has too many holes in it. But ironically, I'm not being listened to apparently," he sighed, and spoke even quieter, "It's this damn mare-run society isn't it? Ugh..."

 

When they reached the forest, Ice spoke aloud for all to hear this time, "Well, here we are. Take note: We may be out here til morning doing that plan of yours. Oh, and here's a thought: I suggest we trek into the forest a little, and find a clearing," he looked up to Twilight, "That way your grape color will be easier to spot if they're deep in there, while we hide in the bushes,"  he said with a smirk.

 

He looked back at Sunset, and Trixie, "Let's go," and without another word, he walked forward, into the forest.

"Anyway that is the shortened version of Rhetoric Rash, I apologize it isn't very interesting, but not all of us are... so drama inclined" while he didn't mean it to be, it was a bull face lie, he was very dramatic, and was probably one of the reasons he found himself in the messes he did

Chisel was too focused on his grappling techniques to notice what she was doing. When Jade tried to duck out of the way, he caught her yet again. He didn't even know she still had the piece, assuming she'd dropped it. "Not a bad attempt if I wasn't a master in grappling!" Chisel bragged. "I call this one the Banzai missle!" He hoisted her up with his dexteritous hooves and twirled her in a circle above his head before tossing her away onto the stone floor. "You just don't get it do you?

Jade grunted as her leg was grabbed again by Chisel. It was quite a surprise to see a pony of his stature be so nimble!

She couldn't keep ducking and weaving forever; if she wanted to win, she'd have to land a hit. But she'd have to see where he was first!

 

And then she spotted the glow of the wooden piece in her muzzle. Chisel didn't seem to notice it, so how could she?

 

...what if...?

 

While she was lifted above Chisel, she spat the piece of hilt into the gap in the flap made by the stallion's saddlebag, before she was flung away. Using her wings, she rolled herself backward and skidded to a halt across the cave floor.

Yuki nodded in awe. The only other families she knew that were of note were her own, and Tyra's, "That's a big honor. I'm grateful to have met someone like you. It's interesting how pegasi became so good with swords over the years. I'd love to know more about them."

 

She smiled as she spoke again, "It's interesting. My family is the Ice Clan. One of the many elemental clans of thousands of years ago. We always valued love, peace, and forgiveness. Were the Swiftwing any similar?"

yrel blinked. "ummm..." 

 

"the swiftwing family are loyal..."

 

"thats right! loyal to the alicorns!"

 

"powerful..."

 

yrel made a strongman(pony?) pose, "one of the strongest!"

 

"but at the same time, gentle..."

 

yrel laid down, in a sleeping pose. "gentle as a sleeping foal~" she whispered.

 

"but above all...the fastest to help other clans, and even other tribes when they saw their fellow ponies were in danger from various beasts."

 

"our wings grew to be faster an faster over the years!"

 

zenru smiled. "so, yes. in a way, we too valued love, peace, and forgiveness."

@@P-Jay,

Yuki was amazed at the fact that there was another clan that was peaceful, unlike the Clan of Fire, "That's very amazing. From when I was young, I only remember few clans who were as peaceful, and benevolent as yours. Once again, I am honored."

 

She decided to ask a question that had been ringing in the back of her head for a while, "Tell me, exactly ho many left of your family  is there today?"

@J.R.

Twilight floated on into the forest without a pause, while Trixie stopped behind a little, looking over the breadth of the forest. Sunset Shimmer noticed, and stopped as well.

"Look, Trixie, I understand your scared-"

 

"-I'm not scared." She shot Sunset Shimmer a slightly guilty look, then relaxed with a sigh. "Ever since I left Celestia's School for gifted Ponies, i'd been spending most of my time in forests, and it never ends up well. I didn't think i'd be going back for a long time..."

 

She stopped, and took one more look at the forest, before she deflated slightly, and started walking again. Without a word, Sunset Shimmer took up ranks behind her, moving quickly to catch up with Twilight and Ice Blizzard.

 

"...So, since its so dark out here, i'm thinking we can use the environment to our advantage. Color spells; i'll be changing each of your coat colors black so you can blend in better with the surroundings." If Twilight's attention hadn't been focused on Cadence lying in the hospital, and her brother being out in the forest alone, she might have beamed; this plan seemed like it would go off without a hitch so far.

"Prince Blueblood...?" Sunny Days thought for a moment, before she briskly walked up to him standing outside the door to the princesses quarters.

"Hello. May I ask what you're doing here?"

@@Fractured,

Ice didn't say anything, and simply kept walking. At this point he felt as if he was a walking brick wall. However, he decided not to think that way, as all that mattered right now was the mission, "Alright. We're gettin close." He climbed a tree, and began jhopping from brach to branch, until he stopped, and looked through his ice binoculars at something, and dropped down to the others.

 

When he dropped down to the mares, he began explaining, "We got a clearing up ahead. We can start there. Let's move in, and carry out the plan for 5 consecutive minutes. If whoever stole the magic does not respond, it means they're probably deeper in the  forest than we think, which means we'll need to travel deeper to compensate."

 

After he said his explanation, many nighttime noises could be hear such as crows or frogs breaking the endless silence of the night. Ice then spoke again, "It's right up here. Let's take our positions nearby. Let's keep our ears open, and flanks down," he said with a frown as he walked towards bushes near the clearing's edge, "I don't feel like having a blown cover today."

 

He ducked down near the bushes, and prepared to jump over them at a moment's notice. He wondered if he had spoken a bit harshly, "Just cuz I'm the only stallion of the group doesn't mean I can't assert myself. Plus this is important. So, no fooling around this time for me."

But, those can fail you sometimes, and it ends up being a fighters undoing. Being able to fight means you can rely on yourself. I'm sure you'll do great!"

 

After he had finished talking, Lightning Blade noticed for the first time how much his stomach was growling. He had packed a few snacks, but he had eaten them all on the train ride to Bangcolt.

Sunset Shimmer and Trixie, now fully camouflaged, took their positions on opposite directions, one ducking behind an expanse of trees, the other behind a row of bushes. That left Twilight, alone in the clearing. Her breathing slowed as she began to concentrate, blocking out all other sensations.

 

"Control it..." she began to deep breaths; she could feel the magic surging up from inside, and did her best to only release as much as she needed. Too much could ruin the plan.

 

"Control it..." It began to creep forward; a strange sensation as magic began to leave her wings and body and move directly too her horn. Still she put a cap on it, despite the incredible feeling of raw power, and the slight headache she was getting from storing up so much without releasing it.

 

"And..." Twilight exhaled. All at once, her eyes glowed white, and Twilight let out a gasp as magic ripped itself from her horn in the form of an enormous violet dome. It swept out away from her, expanding as it swept through the forest and passed through everything in its way. When the last wisps of the magic trailed off, Twilight's eyes returned to normal. She stepped back slightly, gasping for air.

 

"That should... do it..."

But instead of shouting his dismissive thoughts, Ice decided to go with something different.

Rhetoric paused and frowned and smiled "Now I'm not so sure. Are you playing me, or are you seriously not egging me on... Either way I believe I've brought this on myself haven't I?"

Indus tilted his head slightly. That would make sense; the mare certainly had an air of a secretary around her, if not a very classic teacher.

Blueblood furrowed his brow, searching his memory for the name "Yes....I believe I've heard of you before. Is Celestia not in? we're on a rather tight schedule." the truth was actually he had no schedule at all, but he always felt more important if he was pressed for time

Mybe something intriguing is laying around on the outskirts. He strolled across Bangcolt a bit, only seeing alicorn Chrysalis just ahead in sight.

He would never thought one day seeing her would come true, even before numerous years listening to the changeling assault events from where he lived. Falza stands closer, ease-dropping of what she's saying.

Rhetoric paused and frowned and smiled "Now I'm not so sure. Are you playing me, or are you seriously not egging me on... Either way I believe I've brought this on myself haven't I?"

 

Starlight tilted her head, raising an eyebrow at the stallion. "I'm not egging you on at all, Rhetoric. I was just trying to make a little joke."

 

 

"You could say that; in a way, I am Celestia's secretary, actually." She turned from Blueblood to Indus, and smiled gently. "As for where she is, the answer is closer than you think. Although, you still haven't answered my question..." She let the statement trail off, and turned back to look at Blueblood.

 

"Also, nice to meet you, Prince Blueblood. I'm Sunny Days."

 

Blueblood furrowed his brow, searching his memory for the name "Yes....I believe I've heard of you before. Is Celestia not in? we're on a rather tight schedule." the truth was actually he had no schedule at all, but he always felt more important if he was pressed for time

 

Contrary to the Prince's growing impatience, Indus politely dipped his head at the mare in greeting. "Professor Indus Moonquill, of Celestia's School of Magic. A pleasure to meet you, Sunny Days."

Axton sarcastically replied with clear boredom, "Pssh, wow. That doesn't sound anything like the actual ruler of the changelings. And I can see that you are walking, ma'am. However, I noticed something different about you."

 

He walked up with her, "Normally, I probably would have seen your  soul as evil, tainted, and probably grounds for taking it to Tartarus. However, you don't seem evil or tainted today. You seem....empty, lonely, and sad. Do you want to calm down, and talk about it, or just make more random threats?" he asked. It was clear that he was offering help. Something he normally never does. But this, was a special case scenario. A pitiful case, but special.
