open The Looming darkness

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest sighed as he took a short break from his training. "I believe it's time to return to Equestria, Luminos. I don't want to let my friends have all the fun." He said.

 

The spirit nodded and smirked. "You are ready to fight and defeat Caras, Tempest Sol." He said. "I'll prepare the portal to Equestria now." A few moments later, a portal appeared with a aerial view of Canterlot.

 

The cyan pegesus smirked and stood on his back hooves, facing away from the portal. He then fell back and dove towards Canterlot.

 

Dark glanced out a window to noticed that a storm was brewing. "This can't be good." She thought.

[~Sole~ 852]

Discord was happy that he was finally freed from his prison, but he could sense caras as clearly as caras likely could him. He wanted to kill him so badly, he wanted revenge for celestia... And for everyone else he's hurt. Sole sensed the anger building in his father, and put a talon on his shoulder to calm him down. "It's alright... We'll get him." He said calmly.

[Minath Khalsi 195]

@, @, @@Child Of Darkness, @@Alex Kennedy,  ((In no particular order))

 

Minath followed Rambler to the room, where everyone was gathered. Se felt a snag in one of Celestia's magic tendrils, like a spider feels when a fly has landed in it's web.

 

"I do believe Tempest Sol has returned. And Discord," Minath said, then turned to the god of chaos and spoke "I do not believe we have been properly introduced. I am Princess Minath Kidemonas, the captain of the Canterlot Guard, Slayer of Kings, Usurper of Tyrants, and most importantly, the legacy of Celestia." Minath added lastly, her eyes flashing the pink color of the late Princess' eyes. "You may not know me, Discord, but I know you. Everything Celestia knew is now in my possession. I am not threatening, but warning."

 

Minath then turned to Luna.

 

"You will open the letter that will arrive soon, and read it aloud. Am I clear, Luna?"

 

I hope I know what I'm doing. I will do anything to protect those I love... even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice.

[Child Of Darkness 285]

@, "Very well then, it looks like a letter has just arrived, I will read it out for you all to hear.

 

'Dear everyone,
It is quite clear to me that Discord has been released from his stone imprisonment. I trust you are all as eager to see me as I am to see you all again. It has been a slow month without you all to get in my way.'

 

"I can sense that there is something else is written, but I cannot see what it says. Minath, can you see anything else?"

 

Luna held out the letter to Minath.

[Drago Ryder 641]

As Tempest fell, his aura surrounded him, making him look like a black comet. "This is my beacon of hope to my allues, and a sign of the end to my enemies." He thought. The cyan pegesus then crashed through the roof of the Canterlot palace, and make a small impact crater on the floor. When his aura subsided, Tempest stood and looked at the others. "Well, this a sight for sore eyes."

 

Dark noticed Tempest and smiled slightly. "It's good to see you to, Tempest." She said.

[Minath Khalsi 195]

@@Child Of Darkness,

 

Minath took the letter from Luna, her slate magical aura piling on top of the gold magical aura she inherited from Celestia.

 

Minath tensed up as she read the letter, and quickly shielded her thoughts.

 

I am sorry Rambler, but if he captures you I must disregard both of our lives. If he holds you hostage, I will charge in anyway. The need of the many outweighs the need of the few. If Caras captures you, I will search for you, but it will not drive me mad as it once did. ((That was completely to herself))

 

@@Alex Kennedy,

 

You are not to leave my side. At all.

[Child Of Darkness 285]

"Luna, it is time, execute your part of the plan, then I will do mine."

 

Luna listened to what Caras had to say, and began to put her plan into action. She looked around to make sure that most of the ponies where near by before she spoke up.

"She tell me, all of you. What makes you think you can win this fight. All your efforts so far have turned out for the worse. So what makes you think that you can change this around now. You fighting a lost battle, all of you. Clinging on to what hope you have left of being able to save Equestria. You are all fools, and there is no place for fools in the new world."

 

Luna then used her mind to transform into nightmare moon, and pulled out a large scyth, and fired a bolt of magic out of the roof, alerting Caras to make his move.

 

(You saw it coming, and now its here. Luna is evil and corrupted, and she is trying to kill you all.)

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest heard what Luna had said, before turning into Nightmare Moon. "There's an old saying that my parents used to tell me, Nightmare. A light can shine even in the bleakest of times." He said. The cyan pegesus was then surrounded by his aura. He seemed to be more confident of his abilities, and himself. "As for me, I won't hold back."

 

Dark glanced at Nightmare Moon, and decided to get ready to attack.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

@,

 

You say that as if you think I ever would in the first place. You know me better than that.

 

Rambler stood speechless as Luna transformed into Nightmare Moon. Minath had told him she was being corrupted by Caras, but he still hadn't expected anything like this. 

[Drago Ryder 641]

Xena watched from STempest's point of view, and sighed. "Tempest, be careful. Luna is still in there." He said.

 

The cyan pegesus nodded. "I understand." He said. "So, do you have any idea on how to undo this?"

 

Luminos sighed. "To be honest, I have no idea. Caras's magic is strong in this one, so this won't exactly be easy." He said.

[Child Of Darkness 285]

(Sorry about being away for a while, my internet was down.)

 

It took some time but Caras flew to canterlot and stood on the roof of the castle. Looking down, he saw the Luna had become nightmare moon and all the elements of harmony together in one room.

 

"Luna, stand back."

 

Luna stood back as Caras done his thing.

 

Caras dropped from the room to the floor, creating a large cloud of smoke.

 

"It's been far too long since we last done this. Don't you agree?"

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest's aura flared as he saw Caras. "I couldn't agree more." He said. The cyan pegesus's aura then went from pure black to a stunning white. "Caras, you have violated the laws of life, death, and the aura. This is where you die."

 

Dark was slightly surprised by this, but she did notice Caras.

[~Sole~ 852]

((I've had so many distractions and other things I've had to do. Sorry for being gone for so long guys...))

 

Sole and discord glared at caras, and the now evil nightmare moon "what a dirty backstabbing trick... Wouldn't expect anything less from you caras." Discord said bitterly, as sole cracked his neck "everyone else stand down, me and the old man get first shots." He said adamantly "time to pay caras." He said simply, as chaos energy flowed out from both discord and sole.

[Child Of Darkness 285]

"Wait, so you too are going to take me on alone. Petty minded fools. Do you think that a Chaos god and a... What ever you are can defeat me in battle, well let the battle begin."

 

Caras used his magic and equiped his battle armour and pulled out his sword. Ready for the two of them to make there move.

[~Sole~ 852]

Sole was about to attack, when discord stopped him "wait son, you'll need this." He said, as he snapped his fingers and a set of armor appeared on sole and discord "now we can kick his ass." Discord said with a mischievous smile as sole shot forward and punched caras in the face, just as he did discord appeared behind caras and hit him into the ground with his tail.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest smirked as he watched Sole and Discord fight Caras. "This should be interesting." He said, before glancing at Nightmare Moon. He then formed white twin blades and charged at the alicorn.

 

Xena sighed. "If we are to win, we have to work together." He said.

 

Luminos nodded. "Let's do this." He said.

 

The aura around Tempest then turned into a mixture of white and black. It then solidified and formed a set of white armour with black highlights. His wings were also armored. One was pure black and the the other was a bright white. His face and head was then covered by a mask and helmet with the same coloration as the rest of his armor. The cyan pegesus noticed the change, and smirked. "At least those two are working together." He thought.

[Child Of Darkness 285]

(Looks like I will be fighting two battles at once.)

 

Caras fell to the ground, but quickly turned this into an advantage. He turned into smoke upon impact. Caras rematerialised behind discord and landed a powerful blow to the back of his head and then pushing him away with a small magical blast.

 

(Luna time.)

 

Luna was quick to respond to Tempests actions, and quickly put her scyth in his way blocking his attack. The two where now face to face and what was left of Lunas normal mind, managed to utter some words.

 

"Help, me."

[~Sole~ 852]

Discord cursed in annoyance and flipped around in the air to attack, but before he could sole jumped in front of caras and kicked him in the head "I'm still here jackass!" He said, as he and discord created thier own balls of magic and sent them at caras.

[Child Of Darkness 285]

Caras created a magic shield to protect himself and absorb the balls of chaos magic that where fired at him.

"Impresive magic. Let me show you how its done."

Caras cast dark energy balls at the two of them.

"The power of the darkness, is far more powerful than that of the chaos."

Tempest heard Luna's voice and nodded. "I promise, I will save you from this." He said. The cyan pegesus then pushed Nigare Moon back, and tripped her. "I also apologize for any injuries I may give you, though. Nightmare isn't exactly going to go easy on me.Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?"

 

(Is Luna talking to Tempest telepathically?)

[~Sole~ 852]

Sole jumped over them magic and discord used his serpent shaped body to avoid the attack "I beg to differ. Chaos is an all powerful force of wonderful fun!" Discord said with a maniacal laugh. Sole just rolled his eyes and drew his sword, before slashing at cara's back, sending him stumbling into a portal discord had made. The portal closed, before reappearing hundreds of feet in the sky. As caras fell out he was covered in acidic cotton candy and rainbow colored scorpions.

[Child Of Darkness 285]

(Kyurem: No, Luna is not talking telepathicly.)

 

As Caras fell from the sky he focused his magic and when it was fully charged he created a fire sphere around, incinerating everything with a 50 foot radius. Once the spell was over, he was on fire and dived to the ground. Upon contact this created shockwaves and another fire blast to be created.

"Rainbow scorpians. Ok that is funny."

 

Nightmare moon got up from the ground fast and proceded to launching many strikes agains Tempest. One slice got him across the chest. Then nightmare moon followed up her attack by kicking him hard in the face.

"You fool. That pathetic excuse for a princess cannot be saved now. She is gone forever and there is nothing you can do about it."

[Chivalry Knight 161]

@, 

Chivalry stood in front of Daeva, just staring, as if he were staring into an open void. "Heh, heh heh, HAHAHAHA! Wow Daeva, I never realized how ignorant you were until now. Look, like I said, you better beat it or else. Oh and just so you know, I know who you really are." Chivalry raised the Ancient Blade with his magic, and grinned at Daeva. "You see, this sword is not just for show, it's was not made just to look pretty, oh no. Far from it actually, you see. I have trained with this blade for just over a month and I have unlocked most of it's powers. One of which reveals your true form to me. I can see right through your fake mask! Oh, and another thing. I know exactly whats happening at the castle right now. The great battle between foes and allies. How Tempest left for a while and came back, how Discord was brought back to life. I know everything thanks to the power of this blade. I even know about you little master, Dark Heart, also known as DH. I can see her exact location right now. You see, this sword is connected to Canterlot and its castle, especially it's castle. All of that folklore, those old ponies tales. There real, which indeed means that this sword actually does have Celestia's and Luna's magic enchanting it. So tell me, Darkling Daeva, do you really think Caras will win in the end?" Chivalry looked at Daeva with a serious look near the end of his sentence.

((Sorry for being gone for 1000 years...))
 

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest was sent into a pillar from the force of the kick, and stood back up. The cyan pegesus then glared at Nightmare, before simply laughing. "So, let me get this straight. The only reason you tried to revolt against Celestia, was because nopony stayed out at night. Well, I stay out every night, watching your beautiful, star-filled sky." He said. "When I first saw you, I actually admired you." The cyan pegesus was trying to get Luna, back. In case this didn't work, he had a back up plan.

Nightmare moon snarled at the remark and used a spell she had pick up from Caras. A dark magic spell that causes temorary blindness in any pony that was looking her way, and at that moment it was only Tempest. She made sure that Tempest was looking directly at her when she cast the spell.

"Do you like my new magic. A little gift from dark magic. How are you going to fight me if you cannot see."

Nightmare moon took advantage of the situation and stabbed Tempest in his side.
