private The Other Ponies

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

It took all of two seconds after Quickly heard this to draw a knife and place it gently on his hoof, "My offer still stands Hypno~" he practically sang, "You can chow down over here."

She sighed, and said nothing, preferring to stand near Clocks. She knew if she absolutely needed a drink, Quickly had survival gear. And cookies.

 

(Horay for snow days, in which I have to write a paper and shovel snow. Wahoo, I guess)

"Vampires have different preferences for blood Quickly Boy. Alcohol is not one of mine though." He said with a slight chuckle as his voice slightly changed. "To be honestly Quickly, id rather die an honorable death before I take offered blood from a vampire hunter..."

 

"You afraid of Midnight or somethin?" He asked her rather confused. 

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

He sighed, "I am not a vampire hunter. I do not discriminate so loosely. Besides, have you ever actually seen me kill anything?" he asked, rolling his eyes. (The only thing he's actually killed is a seal when he was teleported to the Arctic. I just realized that.) "Besides, I've been excommunicated so many times from the Order it isn't funny. I serve Princess Luna, not the Nighthunter council," he said. It was surprisingly easy for him to renounce the Council he'd lived with his entire life.

 

Lyth gasped, "Things finally make sense," she murmurs to her hooves.

[Chickey 383]

Hypno sighed with a grumble. "It doesn't matter if you kill something or not. You were part of a group that probably hunts my kind daily. Taking blood from someone like you is absolutely pathetic." He said  "I favor Discord over your pretty princess..."

 

Clocks looked even more confused "What are you talkin' bout?" He asked with one eyebrow up

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"So, if actions from the past mean everything," he counters, "You must be weaker than regular Hypno. After all, he managed to suppress you for a very long time. And you also let me see the inside of your shattered head. Come on, it's not like biting me ill kill you."

"Think Clocks, what is a Nighthunter even doing here. Nighthunters answer to Celestia. Even if she did send him, she would have to REQUEST him. The Council not only hates Quickly Point, they hate him so much that they've excommunicated him twice, and will probably do it when we're don with this. And if Luna is so busy with Tartarous that she can't do her normal duties, why would she specifically help him. Quickly Point is not a Nighthunter. He was, once, probably. But now? Now he's something else. I guess you could consider it a collaborator. I believe the learned term was something along the lines of Lunarian, Do you know the term?"

[Chickey 383]

"That all depends on what your definition of weak is." He said with a shrug as he voice went back. "Hypno abides by common morals and emotions. I ignore such petty emotions that restrict true power." He explained. "I took control with brute force and magical energy. Hypno lacks such things."

 

"Uhhh, no, i'm not sure is I know dat term very well." Clocks said still confused. 

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly raised an eyebrow, "By lacking morals, you lose some of your emotions. Emotions blind, but also fuel. The path you're walking is not only double-edged, but destroying you. But you won't listen," he said, as he reached through his pack. Trading out his goggles for a blue bandanna with a white half moon surrounded by a triforce of stars, he began to drink a water bottle.

 

Lyth looked at him, "Now that I think about it, the faction is called Lunaris. They are like Luna's special forces. I'm sure Sapphire would no about them. Their day-time counterparts, and rivals, the Solaris, work with guards on occasion. They aren't hunters, more like recon," she clarified.

[Chickey 383]

Hypno slightly laughed off Quickly's words as he turned away from him. "Quickly, look where emotion's got regular Hypno? It got him in a even worse condition. It got me in charge." He explained

 

Clocks shrugged. "Alright." He said. "But why are you telling me this exactly?" He asked 

Shadow seemed to eye Hypno very carefully. He knew something was strange past the double personality. He felt something was worse, but he couldn't detect it. He found it odd that he didn't seem to worry at all even with the condition he was in. As if Hypno knew something Shadow did not, and that irritated him.

Hypno looked back over to Corpus. He looked slightly anticipating what was going to happen next. "Did Snow tell you something about me before you wiped her mind?" He asked. "I'm quite curious as to how you knew I had feelings for her." He explained as he waited.  

[NinjaCPU 270]

It's simple really. I asked her about how you react to her. You just take two and two together and finally see what you were. How you try to comforted her and how you seem to be pretty close in such a considerable amount of time. How you react when you sniffed her... Corpus explained to Hypno. He knew it would effect him. He wasn't trying to fight him so he kept his attacks to a bare minimum.

[Chickey 383]

"And she just told you?" He asked looking slightly put off by his response. Now he wondered just how much she knew about him. "Vampiric instincts are quite a pain when it comes to fitting in though." He said as he thought about what Corpus had just spoke about. "You're a smart stallion, keeping tabs on us..." He said

 

As Hypno waited for a response, he looked quite uncomfortable. He didn't understand why he was taking this reaction to what Corpus said. But he guessed it was because how he really felt, and not what his negative counterpart thought. His face then turned to a look of slight anger towards Corpus. 

 

Shadow watched Hypno more seriously now. He knew Hypno was expecting a fight soon, or at least seemed to somewhat oddly wanted one.

 

Clocks walked up from behind Shadow and gave a gesture of confusion. "Why is he still talking, if that Snow pony or this guy here were to attack him seriously he could be toast."

Shadow looked over to Clocks. "Tell me, do you remember the last time Hypno was desperate in a fight?" Shadow asked. "Sure, in this state he is out of energy for his usual magic or lesser black magic spells. But then he would be forced to use his reserve magic." He explained. "But this is different, he's not acting right, obviously." He said still looking like something was seriously wrong.

If there was one thing that Blaze was good at, it was knowing when someone had hit rock bottom. Even though Ice Star didn't show it on his face, his disposition completely changed from his cocky arrogance, to defensive and pleading. Blaze took the question that Ice Star had offered to him and dissected it. Sure Carrick was out of the game now, and Blaze was no longer the magical colt he used to be, but it didn't change the fact that Ice Star was probably not able to complete his ritual now. And Blaze decided on his course of action.

 

Blaze grinned, "well well, where is your pompous attitude now? It sounds to me like your plan has been foiled, or at the very least delayed. So, let me ask you this, what would you do in my position? I think I will stand my ground."

 

Blaze assumed combat stance with his body crouched like he was ready to pounce. His horn aglow. "You know, my father had this saying.", Blaze said, "'When deprived of oxygen a flame is snuffed out. But when a flame is deprived of oxygen is when the smoke is most thick. And used in the right way, smoke can be just as deadly as fire.' I know now what he meant, because like the flame in the adage, I have been snuffed out, but even so I can still be powerful if I play my cards right." Blaze smiled and hoped he was right.

"I suppose you can see that beyond my guise i'm really quite soft and lonely." He said to Corpus looking incredibly irritated. This slowly went away and back to a calm state "But is that all you got? The fact I gotta soft spot for one of Ice Star's goons?" He asked, knowing that might be all he needs. "You're probably gonna need a bit more..."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Oh-oh say can you see," Quickly sang softly to himself, "By the moon's silver light, what so proudly we hold, for the sunrise is coming. In the moon we shall stare, till her presence is here, for the moon is our light, and it's gallantly gleaming." He sighed, as an MP overwash came through his senses. He grinned, "Party time," and shot a bolt towards Corpus. (Eh, I figure, what the heck.)

[Glaceon 793]

Sapphire saw Quickly's attack and she pulled out a dagger from a sheath and threw it with her magic towards Corpus. She then readied her spear and took up a defensive position.

 

Starbolt watched the attacks against Corpus. She stood there the liquid she drank earlier still gave her a light headedness. She concentrated and fired a bolt of magic. The magical bolt that was released was stronger than usual, the magical energy of it at least thrice the normal strength.

 

Fae followed up the attacks by conjuring several vines to go and snare Corups in an attempt to snare him.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Selythria took out a dagger not unlike Quickly's and called to Starbolt, "Can you blow a hole in the roof? I need a connection to the moon." She took something from Quickly's bag, it looked like water, and began to drink it, nibbling on a cookie. In case certain ponies don't remember, Quickly's cookies aren't normal, and blessed water is like drink alcohol without, you know, getting drunk. So it,'d be like fueling Blaze, without making him incoherently crazy.

[Chickey 383]

(Aren't the anti-magic runes still up though?)

 

As the first sense of violence, something in Hypno changed abruptly, his eyes flashed black and red a few seconds before going back to normal. His magical presence switched from being slightly corrupted to a different pony completely. He spawned a large metal mace and posed it on his shoulder. "Finally" He said with a twisted voice and a grin. He levitated the mace and pointed it towards Corpus. A black ball of dark energy formed in front of it as he channeled it, then fired with a loud bang that rang through the room and towards Corpus.

 

Shadow was about to start attacking, but looked confused when he noticed the weapon he carried. "Wait.... that's.... not possible..." He said looking into his book, flipping pages until he found what he wanted, a picture of the same mace he carried now. "He's not suffering a duel personality, he's being possessed." He commented.

[NinjaCPU 270]

(No, they just need to activated by Corpus or Ice Star)

 

Corpus gritted his teeth, the lighnting bolt was quickly blocked by a magic shield. Though the first bolt cracked the bubble, the second bolt by Starbolt broke the shield into various pieces. He realize it....she had gotten stronger...with the aderline coursing into his veins he was unable to know how strong. As these ponies went for a attack.

He COULDN'T use those runes. Ice Star had given him to not use the runes. Everything had become more...irritable. With Starbolt new found strength and the others already powerful enough, he had to defend himself until Ice Star would so please to bring her out or be allowed to use those runes. Taking a deep breath he raised his horn into the air as a fog grow deep into the room. He needed no need for vision. He wasn't going to be defeated by any type of ponies. NOT these one, at least.

 

Calling his bluff, he know that he had no choice. His chance for vengeance has officially been ruined by all these ponies. Closing his eyes, he took one deep breath. "You shell of a pony, you think that this is over? I've had enough of this kind of game. If you're so willing to fight even with how weak you've become...so be it. You six," Ice Star had turned to the six ponies he needed and shifted them the corner of the room, next to Carrick. "Don't let Carrick interfere, this is between me and mister Phoenixtear." Ice Star horned glowed as a strong blizzard chill came across the room, "Now it's time for you to see how powerful a real unicorn can be!"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly blinked and shook his head. Lots of magic being thrown around recently. Lots of it coming from Starbolt. Sheild-breaker, time to shoot. He let off on of his arrows, as fog crowded in. Dang it. Now I have to go hand-to-hand, so nopony accidentally moves into the line of fire. Luna only knows the kind of reception that'd get. He drew his knife and advanced on Corpus.

Hypno dropped the mace with a thud and gruffly sighed. He couldn't see anything through the fog as it started the thicken inside the room. He waited with a irritated look for something to happen.

 

In the middle of reading the fog rolled in, blocking Shadow from going through the book. He cursed and put it back, trying to see through the fog as Clocks hung on to him, looking slightly scared.

[Samurshy 708]

Blaze felt an overwhelming increase in magical energy coming from Ice Star. It was so much, in fact, that Blaze was finding it increasingly difficult to stand up straight. It was as if gravity increased 10 fold. To top it all off, Ice Star was cooling the temperature of the room down. Blaze's biggest weakness was the cold. His joints began to lock up, and his whole body started to shake as it went into survival mode, trying to heat itself. 

What am I doing? Blaze thought This can all be over, if I could just muster up the strength I need to beat this guy. Blaze dug deep and pulled out the remander of his strength and managed to stand up straight. His horn aglow, he cast a flame spell on himself. Creating an aura of fire that kept him hot, but also could be used for offensive purposes as well.

Blaze charged Ice Star, he knew he had to be wary of his alteration magic. If he wasn't carful this could end badly. But his body didn't listen to his mind. His body was angry, his body had adrenaline flowing through it. His body was furious for what Ice Star had put them through. For how many lives that had been lost because of him. His body charged in, caution to the wind, and lead with a flaming uppercut. 

[Chickey 383]

"Get off me, you filthy merkin." Shadow said as he grudgingly shoved Clocks off his shoulder. He tried to use his eyes to see through the fog, but couldn't. He cursed again and readied himself for a surprise attack. 

 

Hypno looked around the fog with an entertained grin. "Hide and go seek eh?" He asked with a laugh as he picked up the mace from the ground and propped it up on his shoulder. The spiked mace itself was clearly not made for a pony, something slightly larger than one. 

[Azura 1,107]

Daeva had no idea what she was doing, leaving her friends and her special somepony on a dangerous mission. She quickly hurried outside and started making her way towards the cave Blaze told her about a long time ago.

 

(OOC: I need somepony to tell me how I'll meet up with the others and how stuff is going to go down.)

[Chickey 383]

(I'm not sure, but Hypno and the others are in a room with Corpus that's currently covered in fog. While Blaze and Carrick and further in near the mane six and Ice Star. You could just have to sneak inwards until she reaches the battle against Corpus.)

 

Shadow readied a spell with a smirk. An aura flashed off him and throughout the room once in a wave, allowing him to detect the position of anything in it for a few seconds. Once this finished, he quickly turned and fired a dark beam in the area he detected.

[Glaceon 793]

Starbolt looked around struggling to see past the fog, she fired another magical bolt in the last known location of Corpus. She quickly readied a defensive spell just in case of a counterattack.

Sapphire looked around spear raised and ready, she lacked vision and the cave's shape made every hoofstep echo. Unsure of where the next attack will be coming from she looked around constantly.
 

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly felt a fringe of heat fly past him, and blinked. Starbolts blind firing. This could be bad, especially if she hits one of us. And if ponies would stop flinging spells long enough, I migth be able to see something. Quickly exhales with frustration, gripping his knife tighter. He felt his skin crawl as black magic was used, and followed it to a target. There. "Starbolt, turn 17 degrees towards 9 o'clock. Elevation, 6 notches," he calls into the fog.
