private The Other Ponies

[Samurshy 708]

Blaze was much too weak now. He didn't want to, but he eventually collapsed on the ground. Much too wary to do anything.
so is this it? is this what I fought so hard to achieve? is this the end of the great tale of Blaze Phoenixtear? Blaze thought. do I succumb to the same darkness as my father before me?

"NO!" an echo exclaimed in blaze's mind. It was not his voice but the voice of his father.

"you are the light that binds your friendships together, Blaze. You are their hope."

Blaze's was shocked, but his father was right. Blaze gathered the rest of his strength up and stood once more.

"I have just realized. That my element was never fire, I simply utilized fire but it was never a part of me. No, my element goes much deeper than that. My element..."
Blaze closed his eyes for a breif moment to concentrate.

"IS LIGHT!" He exclaimed as he opened his eyes to reveal pure white, glowing eyes.

Light began to radiate from Blaze's body casting a warm glow upon everything. The light was benevolent, and began to heal his wing. 

Blaze broke the bandages off of his wing by extending them. He could feel the power of the light within him shine outwards, and it felt amazing.

[Chickey 383]

Hypno sighed as he walked, knowing that this day couldn't end well for him at this point. He continued on and felt a bright magical presence in the direction they we're going. He hoped that Blaze and Carrick were doing okay still, and this particular presence felt odd compared to what he usually sensed on the two.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

(Blaze creates new element of harmony->Light. Please, welcome the newly awakened alicorn, Blaze Pheonixtear.)

 

Quickly blinked and stopped like he hit a brick wall. "Of all the blasted moments to reach ascension, he has to do it when I'm looking right at him," he spits, covering his eyes. After a few moments, he uncovers them and moves forward squinting. He puts on his blue-tinted flight goggles, then continues.

[Samurshy 708]

"I always thought that fire was destructive and that it was to be used to harm others" Blaze said out loud in the direction of Ice Star.

"But you see, I was wrong. The purpose of fire is to bring light and warmth to this world. Fire is light, and so am I," Blaze exclaimed!

[Chickey 383]

Shadow looked more uncomfortable than normal as he sensed the light. He looked over at Sapphire for a moment before he heard Clocks mutter "My bloody eyes... You gots anymore of those goggles Quickly boy?" As the two walked, Midnight was slightly chuckling from behind the two.

 

Hypno continued on, ignoring the three of his acquaintances. "What's going on in there?" He asked as he looked over to Quickly since he seemed to know what was happening.  

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Blaze realized he's not tied to fire, and decided that he therefor shouldn't be affected by cold," Quickly replied. "But you should be able to see that with your normal vision, seeing as Blaze is illuminating the whole cave." He pointed at the scene in front of them, developing quickly.

[Chickey 383]

"Would be easier if I could see anything." Clocks complained from the back, as Shadow then gave him a angry look, telling him to shut up.

 

"Fair enough." Hypno said as he continued to follow. He felt his vision was slightly distorted for some reason. As if he wasn't seeing things right anymore. He almost looked afraid as he scanned the scene. The only thing that seemed to appear correct to him was Blaze's light.

[NinjaCPU 270]

Muttering under his breath, he felt his mind reach out of unconsciousness. The chill all over his body was calmed by a light that he was couldn't find. The light was blinding, his eyes shut and his body still weak from his struggles. All he could muster to saying was "Keep...it down." His breath slow and shallow. He wanted to sleep, but his mind was pushing against those thoughts...he knew he was out there. Hearing the sound of Blaze. Carrick concluded that the light must be coming from him. The detective tried to regain his senses and tried to do...one...last push.

 

Ice Star, annoyed by the light. Turns his head away from the light that Blaze's create. Ice Star felt a presence of the detective's strength grow. Ice Star closed his eyes and turn to Blaze, "They say that when a pony is at his lowest, they will know how strong of a stallion he'll be. You don't seem to surrender..." His tone sounds more annoy than anything. "Nevertheless, you should know that unless your 'light' can do something other than just heal and being a nuisance to my eyes, than this little upgrade of yours will be futile." Ice Star said.

[Samurshy 708]

Blaze realized Ice Star was right. His light was more of a nuisance than anything. So how was Blaze supposed to use this to his advantage. It was then that his years of schooling kicked in and he remembered. LIght was a form of visible radiation, all Blaze had to do was focus it. 

"Light may be benevolent, but benevolence has it's offensive capabilities as well" Blaze said.

He pointed his horn at Ice Star and focused. Light particles from the room began to accumulate at the tip of his horn until there was no light in the room save the dense glowing ball of light that amassed at the tip of his horn.

 

"Taste Celestia's Fury!" Blaze exclaimed as he released the energy in a beam of light which was about a foot in diameter, toward Ice Star.. 

[Chickey 383]

Hypno kept walking towards where he sensed the light, his scared look slowly forming into an odd grin. A blue aura flowed out of Hypno's eyes as he started to chuckle out a rather odd laugh. He looked around, begining to hallucinate, and started seeing things that weren't really there. 

 

(Think Sombra's magic eye aura deal-y.)

[Glaceon 793]

Starbolt walked down the path with the others remaining silent. Then a flash of light flashed through from the cave temporarily blinding her. She continued to walk forward and towards the light, but it quickly dimmed.(As Blaze got all the light for his attack.)
"Let's go, hurry." She called to the others picking up her pace and readying her magic as she ran.

 

Fae flew straight, she wasn't really bothered by the light but the magic coming from it was extremely strong.

 

Sapphire was taken off guard by the bright light, she stumbled for a bit but quickly regained her balance. "What the hay was that."
She nodded to Starbolt. "Agreed let's go." She picked up her pace and readied her spear for combat.
 

[Chickey 383]

Hypno continued, following the light while giggling every once in a while on the way. It looked like they we're about to reach the fight itself. His stability was slowly lessening by the second as he walked.

 

Shadow, Clocks, and Midnight still trailed behind the rest. Clocks still looked irritated by the light and Shadow still looked uncomfortable by it. 

[NinjaCPU 270]

A magical shield was produce, blocking Blaze's attack. He seemed unimpressive by his attack, until...

 

A small crack appear by his shield, he rose an eyebrow. Unsure of how much magic is in this attack. He took a deep breath as he reinforce the shield, to be sure. Another crack appears, seeing how strong his power actually is.  He still gives a smug look, "Is this all you can bring up? Surely your powers as an alicorn can be much stronger than just a mere unicorn." He taunts him, he wanted him to suffer as much as he could. All of them, every single pony.

 

 

Corpus noticing the sounds of the ponies coming closer, he takes the initiative of preparing himself for battle. He didn't want any of these ponies to stop Ice Star's duel.

 

Come on, keep going body....this isn't over. I need to....finish this. Carrick struggle to get himself up, he glances around at the mares around him. These six ponies that were still controlled by this demi-god of sorts, he starts contemplating a plan of sorts. Maybe we can get out of here...at least...some of us.

[Samurshy 708]

It was no doubt that blaze's newfound power was potent, but it came at the cost of an immense expenditure of MP. This spell was consuming too much MP too fast. Blaze knew that this wouldn't last and had to think of what to do next.

What does light do? Blaze thought Sure it could be used offensively to burn, and it's benevolence could be used to heal but what else can it do to help me in this situation? Light awakens.... light warms... WAIT! LIGHT REVEALS! Blaze exclaimed in his head. Maybe if I can use my magic in the right way... Blaze looked around at the other six ponies they risked life and limb to rescue and saw their look of disdain and anger If I could use my magic in the right way, maybe i can reveal their true self's memories.

Blaze stopped using his laser spell, the natural light returned to the room. Blaze started amassing some MP for a final spell

"Believe me, Ice Star, that is not the extend of my power" Blaze said 

"Carrick!" Blaze said, noticing that Carrick was slowly but surely waking "I think I can save everyone here. I just need some time. Do you think you can buy me some time?" Blaze asked

[NinjaCPU 270]

Save everyone? Carrick's mind starts to move into overdrive. Still trying to stay conscious from his last daring move. He needed to think and fast. He took a few glances around this room, six ponies that surround him. While Corpus still stares out into the abyss, knowing that if he did any type of actual movement, he'll be caught with his magical grip. Then there's Ice Star, there wasn't much of a chance he had against him a physically stand point. Even with Carrick being an earth pony, he's still pretty weak against anyone who uses the dark arts and can be called a demi-god.

 

There's only one he can do, the one thing that's made him stay alive all this time. For better or worst, it's life or death.

 

"Ice Star." Carrick speaks to Ice Star.

 

Ice Star seems amused by Blaze's desperation. He wasn't one to see much of a problem with any of his attacks. He still holds his magic shield and look at Carrick, his attention turning to him. "Yes, Carrick?"

 

"I'd like to ask a few questions..."

[Samurshy 708]

With Carrick holding Ice Star's attention, Blaze focused on pouring every fiber of his being into this spur of the moment spell pooling a well of magical energy into his chest and doing this until he had enough to cast the spell he wasn't even sure he could cast. Blaze knew this was an act of a desperation, a do or die moment. So he decided to make sure that he used every bit of MP he had before casting the spell. This was endgame and whether or not they lived resided on this decisive moment.

 

Cloaked in a aura of light as he charged his MP, Blaze only hoped Carrick could buy him enough time.

[Chickey 383]

Hypno continued to walk, his posture slowly changing to a more careless and tired looking one, though he still kept a slight grin. A trail of magic flowed from his eyes as he summoned a hat for himself, It was a modified traditional military peaked cap that seemed to match Hypno's own colors. Judging by the magical trail flowing out of his eyes he seemed to be getting ready for a fight. And his hallucinations didn't seem to be showing any sign of stopping.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly sighed, "Alright Hypno. Or what's left of you. I need you to do me a bit of a favor. Take care of rune-jerk over there. I'm sure you can do it." He turns and grabs Lyth around the waist and throws the teledust over himself again. Eyes squeezedd closed, he drops her behind Blaze. "Pray for MP, Lyth, and feed it to Blaze," he manages before he finds himself back in his previous position without Lyth.

 

Lyth blinks away some confusion and draws her knife. "In the name of the Everlasting Night, I call to the; Luna hear my prayer. I ask of you on this night to bring to us the winding magic of the moon's shine, to fill this alicorn's horn. Please, lend me your strength." She pulls her knife acros her hoof lightly, causing it to bleed, and swipes it along Blaze's flank. She seems to enter a trance, and slow ammounts of mana seem to trickle back to Blaze, growing stronger until it was a steady, but strangled, stream.

[Chickey 383]

"All by myself? You flatter me Quickly boy." He replied back as he looked towards Corpus. He spawned what seemed to be a staff with a black gem at the end of it. He grabbed it with his magic and twirled it around a few times before it pointed towards Corpus. The gem glowed a magical purple as he used it to conduct his own magical energy. It fired abruptly with a loud bang, slinging an explosive blast of chaotic energy straight towards Corpus.

 

Shadow seemed to simply watch for now at a distance.

[NinjaCPU 270]

"Well, Mister Murphy. I see no reason why I shouldn't answer these questions. Shoot away, dear detective." He continue his smugness. Noticing the beam of light coming from Blaze's horn, but unwilling to even fathom it being strong enough to defeat him.

 

"You seem to care about the want to create some utopia with the powers of the universe, is that so?"

 

"Of course it is, Dear Detective. I'm not here to meddle with the affair of this universe any longer. This place is full of sick ponies. Regardless of whatever happens today, I'm more than willing to carve it into a place where it can finally be at peace."

 

"A utopia? That seems so clichè even for you, Ice Star."

 

"I'm not hear to care about your opinion, Detective. I care about only thing one, taking care of this universe and when I'm done with all of you. Soon, it'll all be here and I will become a god." 

 

---

 

Corpus hears the sound of explosion pop out. He takes action as he teleports away from the blast and towards Hypno and the group. His horn glows as another pack of rocks starts appearing around his foes. He took his time with each rock as he try to avoid any misfires towards Ice Star.

[Chickey 383]

Hypno didn't seem to mind the rocks just yet, only focusing on hitting Corpus as he charged up another bolt and fired it, his power in his strikes slowly growing more destructive as he went on. 

 

Shadow sighed as he created a energy Shield around him, the rocks seemed to just disintegrate as they touched the barrier around him. He slowly saved up energy as he silently watched.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly took a quick opportunity shot at Corpus and reloaded. He was more actively looking for Corpus's runes so he could destroy them before completion. His magic sight was ready for action.

 

Lyth was continuing her trickle, trying to give more. In this task, she was completely focused and unable to defend herself.

[Samurshy 708]

Blaze continued to build up his magical energy, unsure if he could do what he thought he could. Only time would tell, and only Carrick could buy him enough time. As Blaze amassed his energy his mind drifted off to his marefriend Daeva and all the time they spent together. His mind even drifted off to the physical romance he shared with Daeva. He realized that his mind drifted off to some more risque experiences he shared with Daeva, and he began to blush.

As his mind drifted off his focus on the task at hand started to waver. So he stopped thinking about such things and refocused on the task at hand, amassing enough energy to do the spell he wasn't even sure he could pull off.

[NinjaCPU 270]

Carrick gave a faint sigh, "Wouldn't that be boring? To able to create everything?"

 

"Perhaps, but already having certain powers...who cares? God means anything can happen. I can be whatever I choose to be or whatever I can be. Being so close to create a new world or vanish history as we know it into nothingness is the thing we need."

 

Carrick didn't bother to glance over to Blaze. The detective knew he needed all the distract needed. His exhaustion was getting to him, he could play this game for a while, but he didn't know how long he can keep up with his aching body.

 

--------------

A giant shield formed over Corpus's body. He didn't want to continue this fight, he didn't want to get into Ice Star's way. He kept fire rocks here and there, trying to distract them.

[Chickey 383]

Hypno continued to strike, trying to see if his attacks could put any sort of a dent in his shield before he made any move to put more energy into his attacks. "You disappoint me, I had hoped this would be a bit more entertaining then just wailing on your shield after all the stress you had put me through." He said with a sigh and a slight chuckle. The rocks still didn't seem phase him, attacks seem to make a mark if they were big enough, but any pain didn't seem to register quite yet as he still kept his rather crazy grin. 

 

Shadow knew he might have to wait until the barrier was down before he could use any magical attack that would mean anything in the long run. So he kept quiet and saved up more energy.
