Downfall Part 3b: Well this is awkward...
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"..." I was speechless, "I-I have no idea what to say to this."
Luna was just as confused as I was, Sunshine however looked like she was barely holding back back a squee of joy.
"That was supposed to bring out your potential..." Luna finally spoke up.
"BY TURNING ME INTO A MAGICAL GIRL, REALLY LUNA!!" I yelled in embarrassment, "DO I LOOK LIKE A SAILOR SENSHI TO YOU?!!!"
"We admit this was rather...unexpected." Luna hesitated, "Though we are just as surprised you have the Betrayal in your hands."
"So this means what exactly?" I inquired, still not amused at my current get up.
"Well for one that weapon was being used by the Memories Sentiment..." Luna stated, "It is his weapon I believe, please let us examine the weapon for a moment."
I handed Luna the Betrayal, and after a while of examining it with whatever magic she was using she looked grim for a moment before furrowing her brows in frustration.
"Well this is interesting." Luna commented, "It would seem the Betrayal has separated itself from the Element of Loyalty, we would imagine the Element of Loyalty has returned to Rainbow Dash but what we are looking at now..." She trailed off.
"And which is?" I urged her to continue.
"The Betrayal was something of a legend in Equestria, in Cillen's timeline first appeared when he came across the Element of Loyalty." Luna explained, "But it latched on to Cillen as he was the only available bearer at the time, we should also tell you that it isn't the first time the Betrayal has appeared in Equestrain history either."
I raised a brow at this and Sunshine was looking a little lost by Luna's explanation.
"The Spear is it's best known form, but we recall our sister sealing the Betrayal's original from away using the Elements of Harmony a very, very long time ago." Luna continued, "We remember her saying that nothing good can come from something that is of human origin."
"So how did something from the human world end up in Equestria?" I asked.
"We are not sure." Luna answered, "Equestria and the Human world has always had a close connection with each other, the only things we can tell you is that this is the Betrayal's original form and a warning that came with it."
My power brings nothing but destruction and ruin,
Know me as a liar and betrayer,
A Black Spear and a falsehood to those who wield me,
I will choose one who will return me from the end,
And return me to my true self; the soul where I rightfully dwell,
Take heed to my warning, that no matter the hand...
I do nothing but betray.
"The poem warns of the Betrayal's power and intentions." Luna explained, "...Simply put, you Marcia are the origin of the Betrayal which is why the Betrayal has returned to the form it is in now."
As if on cut the Betrayal disappeared from Luna's hand and back into my own, I stared at the Betrayal for a moment and asked myself. "Was this what I was calling on earlier?"
"That blade is part of you Marcia," Luna continued, "So we must warn you...do not use that blade unless you absolutely have to."
"..." I remained silent for moment, "Is this weapon really that bad? I mean how can it hurt me if its apart of me?"
"We are serious Marcia that blade is only capable of destruction." Luna warned, "Take a swing at that ruined pillar at the end of the room if you don't believe us."
I did as I was told, and swung but nothing happened...
"..." I stared at the blade for a moment, "I don't feel anything from the Betrayal, not even any magic."
"That is unusual." Luna stated confused, "When Cillen used it he could swing the Betrayal and it would unleash a shock wave of magic."
"Hmm." I wondered for a moment, "RELEASE RESTRAINT WAVE!!!" I took another swing with the Betrayal at the pillar but again nothing. "I used that earlier, but I guess I still haven't recovered enough yet. Luna you called it the Betrayal Spear earl...wha?"
No sooner had I said those words the Betrayal had turned back into a silver version of the black spear.
"It changes forms?" I questioned, "Betrayal: Bow."
Again the silver spear changed and transformed into a silver bow, though it seemed to be lacking arrows.
"Hmm, we do recall Cillen doing something similar by turning it into a rifle." Luna added.
"Okay let's try that." I replied, "Betrayal: Rifle."
However nothing happened this time, but a slight headache. I winced in pain a bit but the pain quickly left.
"I see," I stated, "The Betrayal will turn into anything I want but a firearm?"
"It can but..." Luna trailed off, "I've never seen Cillen use anything but a Spear and a Firearm, in fact during our time together he was always tinkering with some sort of machine or weapon."
"I get..." I replied, "I can only transform into a firearm because Cillen had working knowledge of those forms, were as I don't so it won't change."
"We suppose that would be the best guess right now." Luna added, "Though it doesn't explain your current attire."
"Mommy was always a big fan of someone called Sailor Moon!" Sunshine piped up, "She lets me watch it with her! It's really awesome! She's a pretty guardian of love and justice!" Luna and I gave each other an awkward look at each other, with Luna returning my embarrassed luck with a raised brow.
Again Luna could have sworn she could hear a certain time guardian laughing again.
"It's a...guilty pleasure..." I muttered under my breath embarrassed.
"She gets her powers from a magical talking cat called...OH MY GOSH!!!" Sunshine stared at Luna with a starry eyed expression. I swear she looked like she was just told she was going to Disneyland.
"...oh god..." I face palmed, "This has just turned into a whole new level of awkward."
"Snrk" Luna was trying hard not to laugh at my embarrassment, "Oh this is going to be fun..." Luna was looking at me with an utterly evil look, "Marcia, we are now appointing you our first official pretty guardian of love and justice! Our first task for you is to find and undo the cause of frozen time in the human world!"
"...you know if I wasn't so embarrassed right now I'd be squeeing like a fangirl, but I'll never admit to that right now." I kept that stray thought to myself.
"We can read minds you know..."
