The Dark vs. The Light

[Strong Hooves 289]

It has been 15 years since Princess Luna has been freed from the Moon, and peace and harmony have reigned in all of Equestria. The Elements of Harmony are now little more than the old mare's tale that they used to be, and life for the Mane 6 and the other residents of the quiet town could not be more pleasant.

 

However, if there is one known truth in Equestria, is it that peace and happiness cannot be eternal. A messenger from a long forgotten tale--the Elemental Equines--appears in Town Square by way of a bolt of lightning, bringing with him news of a dark unicorn that seeks not only to do away with him, but to rend the tapestry of Equestria's order into rivens, shattering the peace that Celestia and Luna have worked hard to preserve.

 

Now, this stallion, who goes by the name of Static, is seeking others to help him to retrieve a buried part of Equestrian folklore that is their only hope against this coming destroyer of worlds. The time between the start of their journey and the dark unicorn--Darkstrike's--appearance is waning quickly; every second matters to keep all of Equestria from becoming a barren wasteland, ripped apart from the very core of the ground itself. Will they be able to find the Amulet of Light in time, or will Darkstrike's evil wishes become the ending of life as the inhabitants of Ponyville know it?

(Gotta thank Sunrise Song for this awesome thread pitch!!)

Ive got to get out of here! FAST!, Was all that ran through Static's mind as he sped through the air, behind him a dark shadow was quickly gaining on him. Static knew he was no match for the being that followed him, especially in his weakened state, he ran through escape options in his head, an idea finally came up, Itll sap whatever energy I got left, but Its my only choice... Static closed his eyes and concentrated as he picked up speed, sparks of electricity flashing on his forehooves, forming a cone of electricity around his body, Come on... just a little more... BOOM!! A ring of lightning exploded where he previously was, his body changed into a lightning bolt, which sped off into the distance, far from the coming danger, and speeding to a small and unsuspecting town as the sun began to rise...

Rainbow Dash sped up until she was no more than a blur, racing through the clouds at incredible speeds. "Whee-yeah, this is the life," she cheered as she tore post Ponyville, the wind whooshing through her wings. Expertly braking to a halt, she looked behind her to see the seven clouds that she had flown through all disintegrate into dust. "I'll be a Wonderbolt in no time," she exclaimed happily. "I just gotta keep practicing. And again..."

The sunlight slowly crept over the blinds of a small shop near the end of Ponyville. The rays of light formed around the room, giving depth to the objects inside of the room. Flowers lined the wall across the room, covering every part of the space. As the light reached the bed that was in the room, it passed over the cream colored mare that inhabited it. The light bathed her body in the warm glow, slowly moving towards her head. The light hit her violet shaded mane, which made it seem almost red. Once the light hit her eyes, they fluttered open, slowly revealing her green eyes to the world. Yawning loudly, she stretched across her bed, throwing her blanket off. She smiled as the blanket fell, following with her stepping off of her bed with her hind legs. With time to spare, the mare walked over to the door at the back of the room, which was revealed to be her washroom. After waking herself up, she trotted over to her bedroom door, showing the stairs that led to the first floor.

 

Slowly stepping down the stairs, Rose saw her beautiful arrangement of flowers that she put on for sale. Ranging from Sunflowers to her favorite, roses, the mare enjoyed what she did for life. Whispering out loud she said,

 

"Time for another day of work Rose..."

"Fat chance, Rainbow Dash! You call that fast? Let me show you my definition of fast!" Sunrise Song laughed, zooming past the rainbow maned pegasus as she was standing on a cloud, resting for a minute. The morning had been wonderful for Sunny, his mare Artiste back at their small little cottage on the outskirts of Ponyville. After sending Snow Blossom, Bell Ringer and Symphony Star to school at Ms. Cheerlie's, Sunny had spent the morning working on one of his pieces of music, gave her a kiss and then took to the skies. Even at his older age, he hasn't lost an ounce of speed. Keeping up with his filly and colts kept him in shape.

Colt woke up and slid out of bed, he made himself some breakfast, once he was done eating he put on his jacket and hat and opened the front door, but something felt wrong, he realized he forgot his sunglasses he ran back in and put them on and stepped out side his house "today will be a good day" he thought to him self

[Aureity 3,055]

"What?!" yelped Rainbow Dash. "Oh, it is on," she said with a bit of a challenge in her voice, fluttering her wings and taking after the unfamiliar pony. As she raced against the wind, she couldn't help but think about what her friends were doing at the moment. I'll go pay them a visit, she thought to herself. After I show him who's the fastest flyer in Equestria! Catching up to the unfamiliar pony, she yelled out tauntingly, "Who's the slowpoke now?" as she zoomed ahead towards Sugarcube corner, where she hoped her friends would be.

 

(I'll do AJ too if no one claims the rest of the mane six. RD is gonna get mighty lonely alone >.<)

[Strong Hooves 289]

(Thats ok lol. Also, could someone take Celestia? She will be making a short appearance sometime soon)

 

The sun was shining and everypony was ready for a wonderful day, nothing seemed to go wrong. But as the ponies enjoyed the clear sunny day, they were startled by the sudden appearence of a lightning bolt, larger than they had ever seen. It scorched across the sky, before promptly crashing in town square, creating a huge crater...

[Skullbuster 1,906]

after seeing a huge lighting bolt and something crash into town square, all Colt had to say was "what the hay?" he walked over to investigate

[deprecated 199]

Winter trotted over to where the lightning bolt hit.Oh no, she thought, is Lightning playing with clouds again? Winter was wearing a beautiful, dark blue dress and had been showing it off to the townsfolk, but everypony had been distracted by the lightning.

[Skullbuster 1,906]

Colt got to the crator and looked at the size of it "this was no ordinary lightning bolt" he wondered to him self, who would know about this kind of thing?

[Aureity 3,055]

(I was kinda waiting for Sunrise to say something, but SH told me to post something, so yeah...)

 

"Wow, a lightning bolt!" gasped Rainbow Dash as she saw the bolt crash into Ponyville. "That's. So. AWESOME!" Forgetting the race, she veered downwards, eager to check out what had just happened.

 

~~~

"And...that's the last one picked!" said Applejack, watching the last of the apples fall neatly into the basket. "Gee, ah sure hope I'm not hate to the party at Sugarcube corner...there's no telling what Pinkie'll do if I miss it." Gingerly grabbing the nearest basket by the teeth, she set it carefully on top of the bench and paused to take a rest. "Ah think that's enough for today," she panted. An image of Pinkie Pie scowling and yelling "There's no breaking a Pinkie Promise" swam through her mind. "Okay, I'm goin, I'm goin..."

[Skullbuster 1,906]

Colt thought to himself a bit then got an idea "ahha! the librarian would know something about this, what was name, ah yes twilight sparkle!" Colt started heading to the library

 

(can some one play as twilight?)

[Strong Hooves 289]

As the dust settled around the crater, an unconcious Pegasus could be seen lying at the bottom. Sparks of electricity occasionally jumped off his body and his cutie mark glowed slightly

[deprecated 199]

Winter jumped down into the crater, and walked up to the pony inside. "Are you okay?" She whispered in his ear...

[Strong Hooves 289]

As the mare said this, Static's eyes shot open, glowing a bright cyan blue, without a word, he rose to his hooves, looking at the mare.

[Aureity 3,055]

"Hey there!" said Rainbow Dash, zooming down to meet the strange pony. "Wow, that was awesome! That lightningbolt and the crater and everything! You gotta teach me how to do that sometime!" she cheered.

~~~

"Ah guess I'm late again," sighed Applejack, slowly plodding along the roads of Ponyville. "If ah had wings like Rainbow or Fluttershy I'd be there quicker than a mule at hayfest. But oh well, just hope I'm not too late."

She frowned. A crowd of ponies seemed to be gathered around a crater of some sort. "That's an awful lotta ponies. Wonder what's goin on?" All thought of Pinkie Pie's party out of her mind, she galloped towards the scene, eager to find out what happened.

 

(Skullbuster, if you REALLY need me to I could do Twilight Sparkle as well, but I'm already rping two ponies here >.<)

[Skullbuster 1,906]

(i wont need her for long)

 

Colt heard some comotion back at the crater "what is going on over there"

[Strong Hooves 289]

The glow in Static's eyes faded, revealing silver colored eyes, he suddenly looked tired and woozy, loosing his balance and falling onto his knees from exhaustion, he breathed heavily as he did so

[deprecated 199]

Winter grabbed the pony. "You looked injured!" She whispered, worried, "Are you okay? Can you remember your name?" She had a worried look on her face and was searching through her saddlebag for bandages.

[Strong Hooves 289]

Static got up again, waving the mare off, "I-I'm fine... Just... Gotta go... Warn... AGH!" he stammered as he fell again, too weak to stand on his own.

[Skullbuster 1,906]

Colt got to the library and knocked on the door

[deprecated 199]

Winter pulled out some bandages. "Oh, you look awful!" She said, ignoring him, "I could get somepony to carry you! Do you live here? If not, you could stay at my house to heal!" Winter was really worried. She really hoped this pony was alright.

[Aureity 3,055]

"Erm..." said Rainbow Dash awkwardly, looking at the injured pony, the excitedness in her voice gone. "Maybe you should go see the nurse."

~~~

"Oh, come off it Rainbow," sighed Applejack. "A pony's hurt and we don't know what happened." She considered the injured pony. "I bet FLuttershy'll take you in. She always help the injured."

(Someone wanna rp Fluttershy?

[Skullbuster 1,906]

"hmm she must not be home" Colt turned around and headed back to the crater

[Strong Hooves 289]

Static sighed, this mare wasn't going to leave. But he realized he needed rest, especially when he knew why he used so much energy. "Fine... Can you help me to wherever you live? And also, if you can get a message to Princess Celestia, I need an audience with her, it is a matter if utmost importance".
