open The Keeper

[SørenWolf 227]

The trio heard voices behind them. "Oh no, more guards!" Aura said. Rift went inside the warehouse as Aura and Loro followed behind him. Rift then suggested 2 options: either stay in the warehouse and wait for the guards to pass by or find another way out. Aura was thinking about what to do until Loro started to speak up and say that he'd distract the soilders. "What!?!?" Aura said somewhat shocked "And leave you behind?" "No way am i leaving a friend behind." she said shaking her head totally against the idea. She turned to Rift. "What do you think Rift?" Aura asked. "I vote we stay here until the guards pass," "Then you can lead the way to a safer place for us." she added.

 

"Alright that sounds like a plan." He settled down on the ground and looked at his two new companions. The trio waited for some time, until the noise outside died down. "Ill go scout around. he told the dragons." Rift looked up and saw a small balcony near the roof. He unsheathed his claws, tore into the spatial realm and stepped up onto the balcony. The street below was empty. He stepped back through the tear and sealed it. "It should be safe to go now."

Loro nodded, and braced himself, tensing up as they prepared to leave. He hoped that his armoured form would look inimidating to the guards, even if only from a distance. Without speaking, he moved to allow his friends some room to move, sticking a couple of steps behind them. If there was any fighting, then he didn't want to get in the way of his team-mates. Following at a distance, Loro waited for their commands, silent, in fear of irritating them. There would be time for information later, for now it was about surviving. The tiny ore dragon only wished that he was strong enough to fight with them, and prove his worth. Maybe if he did something brave...

[Flying Ace 142]

Silmor approached Quickjet, well, the encased statue of Quickjet. His horn glowing,he slowly freed him, letting him stumble to the ground in exhaustion. Silmor gave him a solid kick to the gut before instructing the guards to carry him to the courtyard with haste. They had so little time left to act, the rebellion had to be halted.

 

The guards tossed the colt into the centre of the courtyard, all around him stood hundreds, nay, thousands of soldiers armed to the teeth. The Lord Silmor now stood by Quickjet's side, nudging him to stand up. He let his horn glow as he began the next stage of the ritual.

 

"Today we march to war, today we eliminate those who have stood before us! The plane between reality is weak, weak enough for us to gain access. The link has been made, our armies ready!...   Will you stand with me!?"

 

A loud cheer came from the ranks of soldiers as they readied themselves for war.Silmor turned to Quickjet, an evil grin on his face. The amulet around the colts neck began to glow as Silmor commanded it.A searing pain ran through Quickjet's body as it gained power.

 

"The Alicorn Amulet; a weapon crafted by my father, now a tool to end the war!"

 

Silmor looked to the suffering colt, confident of victory this day.

 

"I bet your wondering what I'm going to do to you. Oh don't worry, you will live to see this land burn. I merely needed your magical link to your partner, a link that I amplified to send thousands of troops into the heart of the enemy.You have done this Empire a great service."

 

A portal began to open around Quickjet, becoming bigger each second until the entire yard was engulfed in a searing bright light. Seconds later the army was gone, leaving no trace of them being there other than a large scorch mark.

 

 

As Skye turned to see the source of the noise, she was greeted with the malevolent glare of Silmor, tossing her and another strange mare aside with his horn. He was soon followed by thousands of soldiers, begging to let out cheers of war. Silmor raised his hoof and let forth his vassals. They began to destroy everything in their path,leaving no home untouched. The guard were too slow to respond, instantly overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

 

"Thank you, Skye. This would have been impossible without you."

 

The necklace shattered around Skye's neck, leaving pieces of crystal scattered on the cobblestone. Quickjet appeared behind Silmor, staggering forward in hope that he might reach her.

 

"Spend your moments wisely, for they will be your last."

 

Silmor gave one last glare as he walked back to rejoin his forces. The scourging of the city had begun.

Ace was being held by thousnads of soldiers that appered out of the portal followed by Silmor. "Oy, YOU THE NIGHTMARE MOON WANNABE YEAH IM TALKING TO YOU!" Ace said both fear and anger taking him as Silmor glared at him. "So this was your plan? Using somepony to take us by surprised?"

(OOC: I dont know if thats correct but I saw yyou said that anyone around Skye was being attack so I thought to continue it)

[The-Master 1,176]

Silmor was to say the least surprised by the display of courage. But courage was a sign of stupidity, and stupidity must not be tolerated in the new world. The Dark Lord turned to face him, giving a growl of anger yet amusement. He would make sport of this resistance.

 

"Boy, you know not of who you address. Hold your tongue lest you lose it."

 

His horn glowed and violent red, the room seeming o crumble ans the walls began to shake. This flew off shelves and items shattered on the ground. Ponies stumbled in some attempt to keep their balance. Suddenly from his horn burst a whip of flame, lashing out across the room as it set it alight.

 

"So begins the rein of Silmor, son of Sombra. It begins from your end."

 

And with these words he teleported from the building, off to conduct the pillaging of the city. The final hammer stroke was abut to fall.

[SørenWolf 227]

The two dragons and the jet black pony had been walking for some time, wandering the streets. the small party heard a rumbling and saw dust rising down two streets over. Rift yelled to his companions "Come on!" He took off without waiting for a response. He took a couple of steps before turning around and running back. he grabbed Loro and tossed him on his back before taking off again.

"No, I don't know who im talking to! SHould I care? Hey where you going?! Uh oh" Ace said as th eroom was catching fire he ran over to Skye to pick her up and looked at Quickjet. "Hi, teh names Flying Ace nice to meet oyu, you know Skye? Thats good lets go!" Ace yelled a little to fast he then ran over to Star Flare. "You ok princess? Cause we need to get uot of here and fast!"

After leaving the warehouse Aura and her companions wondered across the streets of the Crystal Kingdom. Aura felt a little wierded out by both Rift and Loro ,but she felt safe with them nonetheless . After a few minutes of wondering about the streets the group was getting quite bored as nobody  said anything for awhile until they heard ominous sounds. "Uhh what is that?" questioned Aura looking in the direction the voices were coming from. She could barely  make out the shadowy figures beyond the dust.....more guards perhaps. Rift immediately shouted at the dragon pair to run. Without warning Rift turned around and tossed Loro  on his back. "Well thanks for leaving me behind like that." Aura mumbled slightly irritated  that rift got Loro and not her. Aura  took off right behind Rift "So where are we headed now?" She asked.

[SørenWolf 227]

Aura  took off right behind Rift "So where are we headed now?" She asked.

 

"Didn't you hear that crash? Someone needs our help!" Rift took off without looking back at the miffed dragon. he had chosen to pick up Loro because the younger dragon looked like it might fall behind. As he neared the building he could hear the sounds of battle within. There was a small explosion and Rift looked into the building just in time to see several ponies surrounded by a large number of guards.

[N8C8 56]

"No, I don't know who im talking to! SHould I care? Hey where you going?! Uh oh" Ace said as th eroom was catching fire he ran over to Skye to pick her up and looked at Quickjet. "Hi, teh names Flying Ace nice to meet oyu, you know Skye? Thats good lets go!" Ace yelled a little to fast he then ran over to Star Flare. "You ok princess? Cause we need to get uot of here and fast!"

"Hey, wherever you guys are going, I'm coming with!" Swish forced upon this group. "I'm Swish. I can be of use to you. If we run into any trouble, I know how to use this sword. I don't carry it around for nothing!" Swish explained. "You guys seem like my best bet, and visa versa."

Swish looked around the room, as the flames grew more threatening.

"Now, I'm tagging along weather you like it or not, so I don't want to get into a heated argument!" Swish smiled as he pointed to the fire. "Get it?"

[BlueFlame 28]

"No, I don't know who I'mm talking to! Should I care? Hey where you going?! Uh oh" Ace said as the room was catching fire he ran over to Skye to pick her up and looked at Quickjet. "Hi, thh names Flying Ace nice to meet you, you know Skye? Thats good lets go!" Ace yelled a little to fast he then ran over to Star Flare. "You ok princess? Cause we need to get out of here and fast!"

"I'm fine, let's go!" Star said as she stood and started galloping next to Ace. "We need to get back to Canterlot!" Star yelled over the sound of exploding homes "I can stop Silmor and this darkness if we get to the Canterlot library, I can find the spell that can dispell darkness." She said dodging the blade of a solider who stabbed at her. "But I can't exactly use the pentagram again, I'm burnt out on magic...sorry" she half-smiled, trying to lighten the situation, "Also, what's that pony's name" she said gesturing towards the mare laid across Ace's back.

Star saw an opening in the city's wall and yelled "There!" and the small group of ponies jumped through the gap and into the frozen landscape. Once through, Star stopped and noticed the small colt behind them and lit her horn with flame and pointed it towards him,  "Who's he Ace?"

Ace quickly went in front of her "A friend! his name is swift! Hes not here to attack us." Ace said looking at her horn that was on fire. She has control over fire! How does she have control over fire! That-that is awasome there so rare! Ace thought his eyes filled with curiosity.

Rift stepped forward and announced his presence to the group "Why Hello there! I couldent help but notice you seem to be in a tough spot with these guards. Mind if I step in?" Without waiting for an answer Rift fan over to the group and turned towards the guards. "Oh yes and before I forget; those two dragons are Aura and Loro." Rift readied his claws. he was going to enjoy this fight.

[Winona the Dog 1,984]

"Didn't you hear that crash? Someone needs our help!" Rift took off without looking back at the miffed dragon. he had chosen to pick up Loro because the younger dragon looked like it might fall behind. As he neared the building he could hear the sounds of battle within. There was a small explosion and Rift looked into the building just in time to see several ponies surrounded by a large number of guards.

 

 

Rift answered back without looking. "So were going to the sound of the crash?" Aura mumbled to herself running alongside Rift who as carrying Loro. Aura had second thoughts thinking it may have been better that Rift took Loro on his back instead of herself as  he had the look of fear on his face. In a way Aura felt bad for the poor dragon with what he must've been through.Rift all of a sudden stopped near a building and Aura stopped as well. They could hear noises as if there was a battle going on. Just then an explosion came from the building and Aura saw several ponies surrounded against a large number of guards. Rift then walked over to the group introducing himself before turning his attention to the guards. Aura knew this was going to be fierce so she decided to get in front of Loro to protect him if need be. "I got your back...err front Loro." Aura corrected. She then looked at the other group of ponies. Aura didn't know at all who they were but they didn't seem bad and with the guards attacking people at random she thought they were in the same situation. Aura readied her Ice Breathe for any guards that dared to get close to her and Loro.

Loro braced himself for battle; this place was chaos! There was fighting from all around, and it was clear that the little group of rebels wouldn't last long, or at least it looked that way. Every nerve in Loro's body was telling him to flee, and despite Aura's protection, Loro still felt weak and vulnerable. There had to be something he could do... his brothers were all powerful warriors, so why not him? Loro made a decision, and dashed into the heat of the battle, ducking and dodging around the hooves of both sides. It was time to prove himself, and earn more armour!

"HI im Flying Ace, nice to get some backup. SIDESTEP!" Ace yelled moving to the side as a guard tied to knock him to the ground. "So princess how can we get back to canterlot? Any ideas?" Ace asked poking another guard in the eye.

As Flying Ace introduced himself he knocked out a guard who was attempting to knock him to the ground. "Hmmm." Aura thought before coming back to her senses. "Oh, Nice to meet you Flying Ace." Aura said. "My name is Aura and the one behind me is Loro." She added looking at the number of guards . "Looks like you are having the same problems we are huh?" She deducted.

 

 

Loro braced himself for battle; this place was chaos! There was fighting from all around, and it was clear that the little group of rebels wouldn't last long, or at least it looked that way.

Aura turned her attention to some guards that were coming her way and she prepared to use her ice breathe until Loro jumped out from behind her. "Wait Loro!" Aura shouted. Loro attacked them all and was fighting them quite well. Aura was amazed by Loro's fighting capability. "He's brave alright.....a little foolish to jump into battle like that ,but brave nonetheless." Aura thought before deciding to jump into the fray TO support him. Aura expanded her wings to take off into a little into the air so she could reach them with her ice breathe and they couldn't reach her without throwing stuff at her. She prepared an ice breathe and successfully froze a five  of the guards. A lance a guard threw struck Aura on her right wing. "Ouch!" she grunted as she landed back down. She held onto her wing which now in pain. The lance didn't really do much but cause a little bit of pain on her wing. "Ugh just a scratch." Aura mumbled.

"Whoa, hey be careful you can't take those guys on your own!"

 

 

 

Rift nodded towards Ace as he hopped backwards a step. Now wasn't the time for long conversation. With a quick glance he saw that Loro had run into the middle of the guards. I hope you know what your doing kid. he thought. 

Taking a second to size up the situation he saw a unicorn dressed as a guard casting some sort of spell. I dont think so! Witha flash his claws tore through reality as he stepped from one side of the room to the other. The unicorn guard looked confused for a second as his magic failed. looking down the guard saw his horn lying on the ground in several parts. Rift had already stepped back through the portal and sealed it.

[Damien Cremin 50]

The Ore dragons were ancient warriors, combining skill and strength to combat foes in battle. Unfortunately, Loro possessed none of these traits. To put it nicely, he was slaughtered much the same as a rodent fighting a juggernaut, kicked, cut and tossed aside in just a few seconds, Loro was beaten by the barrage of attacks and, as his allies engaged in battle, Loro felt all power leave his body. He lay on the hard cobbles, hurting and watching his friends and the new party fight. Suddenly, something caught his eye. A guard, grinning maliciously, was heading for him. Loro tried as hard as he could to escape, dragging himself along in a futile motion. If the guard had been practical, then he would have quickly dispatched the young dragon with his sword. Luckily for Loro, the guard was much more satisfied with turning, and bucking him across the battle zone. Loro hit the ground, and rolled unconsciously into an open drain, his movements lost in the heat of battle. He had failed everyone... and accomplished... nothing...

[SkyeRibbonPwny 406]

"No, I don't know who im talking to! SHould I care? Hey where you going?! Uh oh" Ace said as th eroom was catching fire he ran over to Skye to pick her up and looked at Quickjet. "Hi, teh names Flying Ace nice to meet oyu, you know Skye? Thats good lets go!" Ace yelled a little to fast he then ran over to Star Flare. "You ok princess? Cause we need to get uot of here and fast!"

Skye had been unable to move the second his face had appeared. Tears blocked her vision, a fiery pain engulfed her throat, muting her.

QuickJet.

She began to sob, and her mind went numb. She felt her heart mend together with a wrenching snap, hurting her chest. Someone lifted her, but she didn't care. He was alive, he was ok....

 

 

Jet smiled weakly and tiredly at his crying fiancee. He glanced over at the flames, shoving his glasses up to his eyes. He turned to Ace.

"Give her to me, " He said softly. "I'm her husband."  But staring at her, he changed his mind.

Quickjet knew he needed a way to get away from the innocents. He pulled the yellow cord from his shoulder, releasing the catch for his rocket.  It exploded into its final working form onto his back, almost twice his size, and at nearly sixteen hands high, this was nothing to scoff at. A menagerie of hard core machinery and cold metal that was about to become not so cold.

"Who wants to roast some bad guys?" He shouted, snapping the jet around, aiming it at the enemy lines.

Jet reared up on his two hind legs and growled loudly.

"Come at me!"

He grinned at Ace, inviting question as to whether or not he was capable of protecting them.

 

"Thank you, Skye. This would have been impossible without you."

Skye sunk lower into unconciousness as her pain at seeing that Quickjet was alive complimented the pain of the necklace shattering. No feeling was around her, no sight or sound. As long as he was ok.....

But this was her fight, wasn't it? If she hadn't insisted on a wedding in that beautiful empire....

Well darling, that would be quite dissapointing if you blamed all of this dirty mess on your lover instead of showing him all you've got. You've still got a wedding to plan....don't you?

Skye searched within her own mind for the source of the voice, failing. "Hello?!" She screamed. The smooth Canterlot accent faded away with a slight giggle, and SkyeRibbon awoke to see a dangerous QuickJet on two legs who then beamed at the other pony.

She laughed.

"Darling!"

Silmor strode up the stairs to the palace victoriously, flanked by his personal guard. With one beam from his glowing horn he sent the front gates crashing to the ground, the guards falling like flies to the oncoming tide. They put up a valiant defense, but where Silmor went it was quickly extinguished. Confident of victory, the new king took his place upon the highest of thrones. This was his city.

 

The rift between realities was growing weaker, little now separating the material from the abstract. The small warp disturbances went unnoticed till Silmor ripped his way through. Now a wound was dug into reality, anything able to pass clean through. It was now that the Lord of Chaos made his mark. Above the city clouds began to swirl in formation, lightning begin to strike hard. From the sky opened a crack in reality, chaos pouring forth. A strange array of creatures burst forth, beginning to rampage through Royal Guard and Blackcrystal Guard alike. Now came forth its conductor, a beast so maniacal he was the embodiment of hell itself.

 

"Did you miss me Silmor? It's been some time since we last spoke. I've been biding my time till this day, lingering in the far reaches of the south. Now that the walls are broken I am free to do as I wish. First being to take this city."

 

"You traitorous dog! I will rip each deformed limb from your body before you take this city from me!"

 

"I don't doubt that, but you'll have to get through these first. Have fun."

 

He snapped his fingers, summoning forth a number of ferocious animals, all deformed with random limbs not belonging to their species. They were ghastly, yet they were just as dangerous as ever.

 

"Guards! To arms! We are under attack!"

Ace jumped in surprised when he heard somepony behind him he looked on his back to see Skye smiling at Quickjet. "Your aweake! god to see your alright." Ace yelled looking at quickjet. "What.....is that?" Ace asked looking at the streange creation that was on his back he was so distracted he didn't notice the guard wh otackled him to the ground sending Skye off his back.

Skye screamed as she was thrown to Jet's feet. She looked up at him and nodded severely. Quickjet grinned and clutched his wrists around the cuffs of the controls and tugged. Wrapping around his stout abdomen where two barrels of pure flame, scortching all that were sent their way. He chucked his aim over to  the offending gaurd and burnt his face, sending him into unconcsiousness.

Swish looked back to see the colt on the ground, fighting a guard. He unsheathed his sword, and slashed the guard in an "x" formation. He extended a hoof to help the fallen pony up.

"I'm not letting anyone die today!" Swish said as he pulled him up. "Even if you get my name wrong. So, I take it you're Ace?" Swish asked, taking his sheild out.

[SørenWolf 227]

Rift was in his element. He leaped from location to location, taking out guard after guard. The feel of his claws dragging through flesh and bone excited him. Suddenly he stopped. Something was wrong.

 

 

Silmor strode up the stairs to the palace victoriously, flanked by his personal guard. With one beam from his glowing horn he sent the front gates crashing to the ground, the guards falling like flies to the oncoming tide.
