Shadow Knight: An Untold Legend

The last time we left your heroes. Shadow killed King Sombra and has ran off to find some pony. The Mane Six, are about to aid Princess Luna. Who is Shadow Knight looking for and is a raid on Nightmare Night just the beginning? Lets find out.

It was morning, when Twilight and her friends had just arrived to aid Luna, who was lying on the ground not responding, "What are we going to do?" Pinkie Pie asked. Then Rainbow Dash thought of something, she dashed over to a herbal stand where there was some smelling salts. She took a bag and dashed back to Princess Luna she place the bag in front of her nose and opened it. It instantly woke her up, "Oh by the stars! My nose is burning!" Princess Luna shouted. She looked around only to see The Mane Six. "What happened? Where's Shadow Knight?" Luna asked. "He killed King Sombra and said he had to find some pony. Then told us to help you." Twilight said with seriousness.

Luna sighed and said, "I see, Celestia is not going to be happy about this. Thankfully every pony is safe. We need to get to Cantorlot now! You Six need to stick close to me." Luna commanded. She preformed a teleportation spell that sent them into the middle of the Cantorlot Castle Throne Room. "Luna! Twilight! What is going on?" Celestia asked. "Sister! Shadow Knight has killed King Sombra and has fled to the east." Luna said. "Oh great! A body to clean. Same old Shadow Knight. Twilight, I need you to go find Shadow Knight and tell him to return to Camtorlot as soon as possible."
Celestia commanded. "But how will we find him?" Applejack asked.

" He is heading to where the sun sets. Dragon territory of the East, Lui Mien Yo. The City of The Moon." Celestia said. "I can send you close to its location, but after that you need to be careful, Dragons aren't as friendly as us." Luna said. "No! Me and Twilight should go. He is our teacher, Don't worry we'll find him and get him to return." Rainbow Dash said. "Very well, good luck and farewell. I'm afraid this might be bigger than all of us." Celestia said. Luna then made a circle of magic with her horn and then poked the center. A portal opened and the two ponies jumped inside. "You four stay here with me and Luna. We can protect you ,while the others return with Shadow knight." Celestia said.

Rainbow and Twilight were launched on to rocks and unforgiving ground. It was hot and dry, they found themselves in The Land of Dragons. "How are we going to get to this City of The Moon?" Rainbow asked. "Well, fly up to get our bearings." Twilight suggested. Rainbow flew up and a dragon spotted her. It let out a roar and tried to attack, luckily she had her armor and sword. She flew at the dragon and sliced its right wing causing it to fall near Twilight, who was ready with a dagger. "Wait stop! Please!" The Dragon pleaded. "Why you attacked us first!" Rainbow said with her sword still drawn. "Please, I mean you no harm, can't you let an old dragon be left alone." The dragon cried. "Alright fine, but we need directions to The City of the Moon." Twilight said in authoritative way.

The dragon smiled said, " That's where I came from, it's just a few miles that way. It's the town with the crescent moon on one of the buildings. Now can you please fix my wing?" Twilight looked at the dragons wing and used her magic to heal the wound. "Thank you my friends. An old dragon like me can't heal as fast as he use too." The dragon said before flying off. The two ponies began walking til, they found a half burnt sigh that was in dragon text. "Devink nortok convech dova." "What does this gibberish mean?" Rainbow asked. "Here lies The Red Dragon." Twilight read. They looked at their hooves to see flowers and other various things. They jump out of its way and walked around it.

They continued to walk on and found an oasis. A drink sounded refreshing to the both of them. They walked over and were surprised with an shape in the water, it was big and coming up fast. It sprang out of the water and landed on shore. It was a water dragon and he didn't look happy. "Who dares trad into my territory?" The dragon demanded. He unfrowned when he saw the scarred ponies. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize you two were ponies. You two look thirsty, here have some water." The dragon said as he scooped some water with some coconut shells. "Why thank you." Twilight said while handing Rainbow the other shell. "What brings you to The Land of Dragons?" The water dragon asked. "Well, we are looking for a friend ours. He is heading for the City of the Moon." Twilight said. "Oh that place your not to far actually. It's just past here and over that mountain." The dragon pointed out. Both Twilight and Rainbow Dash were about to faint while looking at the high mountain.

"You two alright?" The dragon asked. "Yeah we're fine it's just so height and we been walking forever." Twilight said. "No pony walks forever, besides I might know some dragon to help you. Grimus!" The water dragon called. Another bulkier dragon appeared and said, "Yes Lockjaw?" Grimus asked. "Grimus, my friends here would like to get over Mount Dova as fast as possible." Lockjaw explained. "Oh you mean this little ponies? Well I see why not, after all they look pretty tired." Grimus said. "Wonderful, now Grimus is a here is a rock dragon. He can break through just about anything. He'll make a way for you." Lockjaw explained. "Thank you both, this means a lot to us." Rainbow said. "Don't mention it, after all it's not far for ponies to travel in this hot weather. Here's some canteens, just in case you get thirsty along the way." Lockjaw said while giving them tin canteens full to the brim. "Now off you go, you don't want to be walking around at night." Lockjaw explained.

The two ponies thanked Lockjaw and followed Grimus to Mount Dova. It was a long walk for the two ponies. But they just kept on walking for they were not only afraid of being lost in The Land of Dragons, they were also afraid of what is yet to come. "We're here, I'll dig through the mountain so that you may pass." Grimus said with a growl. He swapped his claws in a shoveling motion. The rock acted like dirt, under Grimus' powerful claws. Breaking threw the other side, Grimus motioned Twilight and Rainbow Dash to follow. On the other side was The City of The Moon, it's grand temples and weirdly shaped building made it beautiful some how. "Thank you Grimus. We appreciate it!" Rainbow said. Grimus just nodded and walked back through the mountain.

The two ponies walked through the streets of the city only to find merchant after merchant. "It shouldn't be this hard to find him. His the only pony around here who is black." Rainbow Dash said. "Are you talking about Shadow Knight?" A voice said behind them. They turned to see a mare with white armor and a sword. "You know him?" Twilight asked. "Know him? He kicked my rump at the tournament." The white armored mare said. "Where's the tournament?" Rainbow asked. "It's just past that building, if you hurry you might catch another of his fights." The white mare said while pointing to a small shack like building. "Thank you!" Twilight said before trotting off with Rainbow Dash.

They found an old fashion stadium with small bleachers and a ring. Twilight and Rainbow Dash found a seat close to the ring. An Staillon announcer with a ridiculous mane style come out with a mic and said, "Mares and Gentlecolts. On this side we have Shogun Mech!" A big hulky stallion appeared with heavy body armor and a helm that covered his face. Where the eyes were suppose to be, was some red lights. He stomped the ground and steam flew out of his nostrils. They crowd cheer, but the two ponies just watched in awe. "And on this side is the raining Champion, the master of the shadows, a hero in this fair city. Shadow Knight!" Shadow walked out in his crimson armor and stared at his challenger.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash looked on in terror as the two fighters walked over to speak. "Alright fellas, like to say anything before we begin?" The announcer asked. "Yeah, Im going to pound you into jam when I'm done with you." Shogun mech yelled into the mic. Shadow just stared at him and said with a serious voice. "I like to see you try." The crowd yelled "Oooh." As they returned to their end of the ring. "Well, lets begin shall we? Three, two, one, Go!" Shogun Mech charged at Shadow. Shadow waited for the right moment then strikes with such force it shattered Shogun's Armor into dust. Shogun Mech was a normal stallion with a grey coat.

Shadow then pushed him off the side of the ring. Causing him to fall on his face hard. The crowd cheered as Deciz went back into this small house where they we're containing the fighters. "Come on we need to get in their." Twilight said. The two ponies reached the entrance, but were stopped by two bouncers. "Whoa! Little filles you can't go in if your not on the list." The first guard said. "It's ok Stone Breaker. They're with me." A voice said. The two ponies turned to see the white mare. "Oh Angel Wing. I didn't know they were with you." Stone Breaker said. "Yeah yeah. Just let us in." Angel Wing said. The three of them walked in and Twilight said. "Why are you helping us?" "Because I know knights when I see them." Angel Wing said. Twilight and Rainbow looked at each other and then back at Angel wing.

They reached the fighter barracks, to find every fighter from never and far. Some were small and swift, others big and strong, and some were all around good. "How are we going to find Shadow Knight?" Rainbow whispered to Angel Wing. "Easy, his the only one with his separate room." Angel Wing replied. When Rainbow walked by a big brute of stallion, he patted her rump and said "Nice Armor, sweety." Rainbow bucked him in the jaw causing his jaw to slant the wrong way. "Say that again, puck!" Rainbow commanded. The stallion just coward and held his jaw. Rainbow snorted and followed Angel Wing and Twilight. "I'm guessing Shadow has been training the two of you?" Angel Wing asked. "Well, I'm about to graduate and Twilight is well on her way." Rainbow said. "That's what I thought, I never seen any pony disconnect Bruter's jaw like that."

They reach the other room where they found Shadow Knight staring at his reflection in the mirror. Angel Wing took a step and Shadow had sword at her throat in a second. "Why are you here?" Shadow said in a cruel voice. "Whoa! I'm just here to tell you that your students are here to see you." Angel Wing said. Shadow leaded to she Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. "Sorry, I'm just tired and jumpy." He said while sheathing his sword. "Shadow. The Princess wants you back to discuss the matter at hand." Twilight said. "You mean the fact that King Sombra was killed by my sword?" Shadow asked. "Whoa whoa! Back up! King Sombra? As in The Ex-King of the Crystal Empire?" Angel Wing questioned. "Yes, and No Shadow, she is afraid that King Sombra's return was just the beginning. That their is more evil on its way." Rainbow said.

" Why do you think I'm here. I'm trying to talk to Madam Moonblade. We will need her aid." Shadow said while wiping the blood from his armor. "Why can't you just talk to her at her palace?" Twilight asked. "Because, I have to win this tournament to be granted an audience. Being a hero isn't enough with this new laws going around." Shadow added. "It's true thanks to Empire Sou Ko Kai. Things are staring to get weird around here." Angel Wing said. "Weird how?" Twilight asked. "If your caught dissing or saying rude things about Sou Ko Kai, your sentence to death." Angel Wing replied. "That's sounds like dictatorship." Twilight said. "Yes, and I plan to stop it." Shadow added. "I just have one more fight, between me and this newcomer Sinco." "I've heard he is stronger than all the dragons here and he shoots lasers from his eyes." Angel Wing added. "No matter, nothing is going to stop me from getting the audience." Shadow said.

"Shadow your up!" A stallion with a clipboard said. Shadow assembled his armor and walked out to the ring. Twilight, Rainbow, and Angel Wing looked out the door to watch the fight. Sinco was a black stallion with a goofy mane style and a orange karate gii on. "Fighters ready?" The announcer said. Both Sinco and Shadow nodded. "Go!" The announcer yelled. First Sinco charged at him with a lot of speed. He then yelled and tried to hit Shadow with a hoof chop, but Shadow blocked it with his hoof and countered with a hoof to Sinco's stomach. Sending him flying back. "Excuse me ref? May I take off this armor? Think it's unfair for me to wear this while he is fighting with none." Shadow asked the announcer. "I guess it's ok. I'll give you five minutes." Shadow used his power to levitate his armor back to his room barracks, where the three ponies were watching. "Is he nuts?" Twilight asked. "No he just knew it was unfair to Sinco." Angel Wing replied.

Every pony awed at Shadow's appearance. "Mighty nice of you to do that Shadow." Sinco said while getting back on all four hoofs. "Less talk more action." Shadow said as he kicked Sinco's face repeatedly. He landed on his front hoofs causing him to do a summer salt to gain some ground. "No games huh? Alright then." Sinco said whie sending out a beam from his eyes. Shadow reflected the beams downward to insure the crowd's safety. "Idiot! There are ponies around you!" Shadow said with a buck to the face. Shadow was beginning to get anger and Twilight saw this. She decided to use a spell so that they could communicate telepathically. "Shadow clam down, take advice from your own warning." Twilight said. "Your right, we need to take this slow." Shadow said. Sinco came back with an energy powered hoof waiting for him. He dodged it and bucked Sinco's rump causing him to fall on his head in the ring. "Dang this kid will not given in." Shadow said in his mind. "Ref! Can you put shields up or something so that no pony in the stands gets hurt?" Shadow asked. "Umm, sure. Gary! Magic shield cage!" The announcer said. A unicorn pushed a button causing a contraption to put a magical barrier around the ring. "Now Sinco, give me all you got!" Shadow yelled.

Shadow turned into that familiar misty, glowing eyed stallion. "Alright time to party!" Sinco said as he powered up. Shadow attacked with a black great sword to Sinco's head and Sinco blocked it with a shield of some sort. Everyone was in awe as the two battled on and on. But the question is who will win?
