open The Looming darkness

[~Sole~ 852]

Sole didn't attempt to dodge the beam, instead he quickly slashed his sword at it. As he swung it created a slash of chaos magic that collided with the beam and created an explosion. "I already told you... I don't give a damn how strong you are. I'll use this sword... and my chaos magic, to defeat you. For celestia." He said, before sending a large slash of energy at caras from his sword again.

 

((Sorry if that seemed op, but his sword is made from really powerful magic. If you wanna know what the slashes are like, just imagine ichigo's getsuga tensho from bleach.))

[Rascal~ 657]

@,

Stardust took the hit that Tempest shot at her, she seemed to have developed a thing for that. She guessed it did something to her because she felt a little too energetic after that bolt. Though she was slightly wrong about the talk then shoot later thing, Tempest shot first then talked. Though what he said was a little muffled by the violins and cellos and what seemed to be double basses playing in her head. Though she was able to hear the last bit 

 

 

You both die, now.

She got up quickly and shot a bolt of energy at the Pony, she wasn't going to die today. She knew that quite certainly. 

[Child Of Darkness 285]

"ENOUGH"

 

((Fight scene between me and Sole needs to end, The spell I am about to use can only be broken with extreamly advance time manipulation magic))

 

Caras used a spell that made everyone freeze one the spot. All the magic that was being used was frozen in mid air. Only Caras had the freedom to move.

 

"Sole you were a worthy foe, enough to let me consider sparing your life, but I am not going to let you go home free, no chance. Blood must be drawn, and yours will be the first to fall in battle".

 

Caras raised his sword and pierced Soles chest.

 

((Sorry but that scene needed to end, this may seem OP, but Sole can cut through the most powerful magic in the world, and he is not even magic, I am a demon lord with a mastery of all magics. Also sole will not die from this attack)).

[Rascal~ 657]

@, (( Advanced time manipulation magic? Ok ))

Stardust felt time around her freeze. She couldn't move  but she could see what was going on. Caras must have used a time stop spell, so she used the counter spell for it, but she made sure that it only affected her. She didn't want to pony the pony in front of her to get loose or the griffon that Caras had, at that point, stabbed. 

She moved her neck then the rest of her body as the spell unfixed her from time. Something she had learnt a very long time ago. 

"Caras? Were you getting bored with your little fight?"

Stardust felt the need to comment on the sudden use of time magic.

"Yes I was, now then I ask you, do you want to stay and fight tempest, or shall we leave. If you do want to fight Tempest your on your own with that, so what will it be".

 

Caras stood patiantly waiting for Stadust response.

 

((As soon as stardust tells me what she wants to do I will unfreeze time, and Sole and tempest will be able to move again.))

[Rascal~ 657]

@,

"May we? I've had enough of this scene and I need to recuperate."

Stardust moved her shoulder and back as she said that, she really did need to recuperate after that and she needed to control the music in her head. They were making it harder to hear things and she needed to be alert.

[~Sole~ 852]

((Uh... sole IS magic. He was literally made by magic. He's strong with chaos magic like discord's.))

Sole attempted to move and break free, but it was nouse, this wasn't normal ice. *dammit... dammit dammit dammit! I need to break free, I need to stop him! Move!* he thought, as he attempted to charge his magic to melt the ice.

[Rascal~ 657]

@,

Stardust perked when Caras mention that he could go anywhere. She didn't to go to her lair and fix the music in her head before it came too  much and something happened because of it.

"We need to go to the High mountains in the country, it'll probably snowing at this point in the year but  I need to go there."

"very well then, the high mountains It is."

 

Cara's horn began to glow and he dropped the time spell and quickly teleported Himself and Stardust to the location she had specified.

 

"Ok we are here, still don't see why though"

 

((Time spell is gone, Tempest and Sole can move again. Remember sole, I stabbed you)).

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest fell cowards a bit and was then blasted back by the magic. He hit a pillar and stood up as his aura healed him. He then trotted outside and into he forest. His aura was still controlling him.

 

Dark had basically given up on finding Tempest and had returned to Canterlot.

[~Sole~ 852]

As soon as they left, and the spell disappeared, sole dropped to the ground. *n- no... get up dammit. I'm not going down that easily!* he thought to himself, as he stood shakily "high mountains huh... I've got you now you bastard." He mumbled, as he took off.

 

((Maybe saying where your going out loud in front of the enemy wasn't a good idea.))

[Minath Khalsi 195]

Minath watched as the ponies left one after another, so she decided to slip away to meet with Chivalry.

 

@, 

 

"Hello...? Chivalry...? Are you out here...?" Minath whispered into the darkness of the Canterlot Gardens.

 

And there is where I snuck into the palace grounds.... I see my training on perimeters has payed off well. That wall is nearly impassable. Though it seems I need to review with them...

[Chivalry Knight 161]

@,

Chivalry heard Minath's voice. "Ah, there you are. I wanted to ask you something, actually two things in particular." Chivalry looked around to see if anypony was listening in, no one was there except for him and Minath. "Alright then, now as you know there is another pony following Caras around. I have fought but sadly lost to this mysterious pony. I- I'll never forget that face, That look in her eye's, Pure Evil, a smile while attacking her opponents. She's sinister, but that's not all. Iv'e also concluded that she has a skilled amount of time magic. She can control the fabric of time, giving her a huge advantage during battle. She can also create a very strong shield with her magic, she has had alot of time to forge the durability of this shield. The only way that it looks like it can be destroyed at the time is with the most powerful of magic. Heck, Caras probably can't break the darn thing. So, the first question i need to ask of you, since you have been embedded with Celestia's magic, can you please... do what I could not. Defeat that time controlling freak, I beg you, you are the only one who can do it, with her out of the way, we can focus all of our strength onto Caras. I also have a battle plan set up for it if you agree. All of us can keep Caras at bay while you kill the time controller, that way, he won't be able to interfere with your battle." Chivalry looks down in shame, but then looks back up again. "Another thing I need to ask of you is something more... personal really. You see, I come from a far away kingdom called Killik in the eastern parts of equestria. However it has been taken over by a changling queen but, I wont get into much detail about that. The important thing i need to tell you is that, while I was in Killik, there were rumors that hidden deep in the Canterlot castle; There lays an ancient sword forged by the best blacksmiths in equestria. It is also said that it had been embedded with both Celestia's and Luna's magic within the blade. It supposedly  sharp enough to cut threw any metal or material. To tell you the truth, before going to the highest tower on the lookout, I uh, snuck away from the group for a while. You know, to go look for the blade. I thought it would probably be in the treasury room. I had to take out two guards but they should be alright by now. They'll probably complain about me later... sorry about that. Anyway, to my surprise, i searched everywhere but I couldn't find it. A lot of time had already passed so I gave up early and quickly went to the tower. So what I'm asking you is, If it is real then... maybe you would know... where it is? I mean, you were Celestia's favorite for a long time, heck you probably still are hehe. If it's not real then, I understand." Chivalry looked at Minath with pleading eyes. If this Ancient Blade was real then he really wants it badly, no his eye's tell you that he needs it.

 

((By the way, sorry for taking so long))

[Rascal~ 657]

@,

Stardust felt the snow on her fur but couldn't feel or hear the any of the silence that surrounded her and Caras. The music in her head was driving her to get home, to fix it before it came too much.

She noticed that they were about halfway up the mountains and she knew that the entrance of her home was up near the peak.

"Caras, we've got to fly for a little bit then walk."

Stardust opened her wings and took off before the demon pony could respond to her. She wanted to get home as quickly as possible and she couldn't fly all the way up there. The air was too thin up there for anything that had wings to fly. As soon as the air had gotten too thin she landed herself onto the path. The snow was falling quite heavy and all her tracks disappeared as soon as she made them. She kept walking until she reached a gaping hole in the pathway. It had looked like the rocks from above had destroyed the path and it was at the exact place where her entrance was. She was getting annoyed at this, she needed to be able to fly in there but the air was way too thin.

She also had to use her magic to open it up because the entrance was hidden. The mountain was laced with the natural magic of Equestria and and was able to keep any trace of magic hidden within its powerful magic. Stardust remembered all the times when she was a filly and was practicing her newly discovered skill of time magic, she made so many mistakes and explosions that if the mountain wasn't laced with the natural magic she was sure ponies from everywhere would be able to see that magic come out of the small vent in the side.

Actually the entrance being hidden was by accident when she was testing out some magic when she was a filly, but it was the best accident that had ever happened to her. The entrance was moved to a different time stream, a bubble of time that she had mistakenly made. It made the entrance not be there, to have never been there and that it would never be there. Though it did exist, but only opened by her magic alone. Nothing could replicate her mindset and energy signature at the same time and still be able to cast the spell, if they knew what it was in the first place. The perfect lock and key.

Stardust had to concentrate, she had to cast the spell that would open the door then jump inside, then kept it open long enough for Caras to come in as well. And she did just that. Stardust jumped straight for the wall of the mountain then used her magic to cast the spell, opening the entrance as she landed inside. 

"Caras, come on. I can't keep it open for long."

 

((Just to note: This is her home, she has mastered that spell of opening the door and it can't be replicated. It had never been able to be replicated ever since that day she did it accidentally. The only way to open it is that you have to be Stardust. There is just too many variables for anyone else to do it. Even if you cloned her so that they would be identical the clone still wouldn't be able to do it. Not even demon ponies or anything of any species can get through. It is snowing quite heavily. you can't see tracks. Just wanted to state this so you guys can't find any loopholes.))

((Wow that is a big post)).

 

"Incredable, I did not know ponies could do this level of magic."

 

Caras walked inside the newly appered cave and observed his suroundings.

 

"How did you manage to do this, I cannot replicate this spell, that should be impossible, unless. I get it now, its unique to you, imperssive."

 

Caras looked over to stardust and felt that her mind was, differant than before.

 

"Stardust, is there somthing on your mind, somthing bothering you"?

[Rascal~ 657]

@, ((my computer crashed twice, that was the summarized version of something that was summarized, you should've seen the first version.)) 

 

Stardust shut the entrance, leaving Caras and herself in the dark. The noise in her head quieten down a bit, the darkness always did that, it always saved her. Stardust did hear Caras's question, and it was inevitable that he would've noticed her change. She just needed to get to one of her silent rooms and then she could get back up and going for their plan.

 

"There's a reason why I'm able to control time magic, why I'm able to control something that is a base for life. I'm damaged, madness is the only thing stopping me from ending everything. It wouldn't be much fun if I killed everything and had nothing to torture. That is why I have that power, because the universe knows that I won't end it all."

 

Stardust lit up the area with the magic of her horn, the light giving her face something that would've scared anypony. It showed her madness.

 

"It's using me to keep everything alive and I have that power for balance, there are the princesses and so many others that are good, while there are only so many on our side Caras. But because of what I am I have to pay a price, the constant noise and music in my head. Thats why we're here, so I can put the music into the back of my mind and then we can go back into the fray."

 

Stardust finally flickered on the normal lighting, though it wasn't much because she loved the dark, just enough to see where you were going and such.

"I have many caverns and rooms in these mountains, they are my home and they are connected with every single mountain in Equestria, with tunnels underground or through the mountains itself. Do not go to far and do not open any doors that are locked."

 

Stardust's horn flashed a little and she heard many locks in her home unlock.

"I'm sure you'll find something useful in one of those rooms, for armor and weapons and such. But I have to take care of the noise now."

Stardust walked away, leaving the demon pony behind.

 

((You have free reign to explore the unlocked doors in her home, be imaginative. She's been to all sorts of times and places so she has quite the collection. It'll better to grab them here than going back to your area since the others can get in there. Just for something fun. ))

((so that's the short verson))

 

"I will have a look around, get used to my surroundings."

 

Caras looked around the caves but found nothing that cought his eye untill he came to the 5th room. Inside it was a set of armour and a sword, they cought his eye because he knew them, he had seen them before. They were his. His most prized and powerful set of armour and sword. Both were quite literaly forged in the fires of hell itself. The powers the sword possesed where un riveled In there power, and the armour was so strong nothing could destroy it, not sword or magic.

 

"Stardust, I need you to come here for a second, I found somthing that belongs to me."

[Minath Khalsi 195]

@,

 

Minath nodded.

 

"I have Aegis and Bulwark guarding the sword. Celestia showed it to me once, when I was nothing more than a teenager. She told me it came from far away, and it was very dangerous. It had a hilt of solid gold, yes? And words inscribed into the sword itself? Celestia told me I was never to touch the blade, unless it's so dire that the heavens must come crashing down to save us. I think the return of Caras might just be that time. Come, I take you to it." Minath said, and led Chivalry away into the castle.

 

She led him through a maze of corridors until she reached what looked like a wine cellar. There was two guards posted outside the cellar that saluted Minath when she passed and gave Chivalry a wary look. Minath went into the far end of the cellar and pressed her ear against the wall until she found it, the faint buzzing of the generator. she pressed a hidden panel with her hoof, and part of the wall slid to the side, revealing an armory.

 

"This is where we keep the sacred weapons, the ones that could kill ourselves if we do not wield them with respect. I believe the sword you inquire about is right.... here, correct?" Minath said, and held out a sword tucked in a sheath.

[Rascal~ 657]

@,

Stardust hadn't gotten very far before she heard the demon pony cry out. She was darkening the area around her so that they music would be kept at bay and she did really want to go sort it out before it got too much but she didn't wan to the pony to kill himself on something sharp. She had unlocked several doors for him, that had powerful armour and weapons and rooms that held poisons and other such things that be useful in a fight. Though it was weird for Stardust to have so many things when she used none of them herself, many of the things she had required had been gifts from demons and lesser evil beings that wanted to reward her for being on their side.

Things passed down or acquired were usually what she was given and since she jumps in time so many things from the future, past and present ended up here. Even herself sometimes. Though those were rare because of the large space in her home.

 

Stardust turned around and looked for Caras, she found him in one of her gift rooms. She looked at the armor and sword and smiled, she had worked quite hard and many a pony died for a reward like this but it was worth it. Apparently it was forged in hell itself but you don't always believe what a demon tells you.

 

"I heard you call Caras, what do you want?"

"This set, how did you get this, this armour was hidden by my most trusted soldier after I was defeated. I want to know where you found this and how you got it, because this is great, I don't know how I will repay you for finding this armour and sword, this has given us an even larger advantage against thouse who think they can stop is. How can I repay you for finding this and keeping it safe?

[Rascal~ 657]

@,

"Well your soldier wasn't very good at hiding things, it was given to me as a reward. It was during another one of my little adventures, I did a lot of work and won the battle for the demon pony, he gave this to me saying that he found it during a raid at someplace. Something about it being forged in hell itself but I have a lot of other armour as well, swords, and that kind of thing. If its yours I'm happy for you to take it, it may be vital for our battle.  But if you're willing to give me something for keeping it safe then go ahead, I now have somewhere to put it."

Stardust knocked her head to where the set was placed.

"again thank you for my armour, so is there anything you wish for, anything that you have not been able to get for your self, because I am willing to do anything in return for this armour. So what is it your heart wishes for, and it shall be your. I can promise you that."

[Chivalry Knight 161]

@, 

"I- It's amazing, Iv'e never seen such a blade so fantastic. It is said that only the greatest of knights can hold this... Hmm. Minath, do you think... That I am worthy enough to hold such a blade? I mean, I don't at all doubt myself, it's just that, this blade is so sacred. Iv'e only heard about it upon rumors, and I know nothing of it's true power." Chivalry looks up at Minath with a worried face. "What... do you think, Minath?"

Edited August 12, 2013 by ChivalryKnight

[Minath Khalsi 195]

@,

 

Minath nodded.

 

"Being a general of many wars, I think you are worthy. I have seen my stallions fall, and I believe with this blade you may not be one of them." Minath said, then gave a kind smile. "And I know you will wield it with respect and pride. Any pony can unsheathe a sword, but only the wise and humble know when to put it away. I know you can handle it, Chivalry." 

[Chivalry Knight 161]

@, 

Chivalry's eyes widened. 'Minath, without you I... I don't know what I would do. I mean, uh... Th-thanks." Chivalry looked away and blushed. "Anyway uh, the swords holster doesn't seem to have a lock on it. I'll have to make one for it before using the sword itself, that way it wont slip out while I'm fighting you know? Haha."
