Shadow Knight: An Untold Legend

The battle between Shadow and Sinco was still raging on. Each blast of their energy caused a massive shock wave that shook the cage. "How long will this go on?" Rainbow asked. "Til one of them gives in." Angel Wing said. "I've had enough of this." Sinco said. He then summoned all his energy causing his mane to rise and is coat to change color. For black to blonde, Shadow was not surprised and powered himself to full strength. "Your finished!" Sinco said and let you a massive wave of energy. As did Shadow Knight, but Shadow Knight was anger as it is. He began to over power Sinco, but Sinco wouldn't given in. "No! I can't lose!" Sinco shouted. Shadow got more angry and began pouring more energy into his wave hit finally the stallion and he fell . Shadow won, but he want to see if his opponent was ok. Greenish blue mare jumped from the crowd and ran to Sinco's side. "Sinco!?" The mare said. "I'm fine, Bula." Sinco said. "Need a hoof?" Shadow asked. Sinco looked up and smiled, he let Shadow pick him and they bro hoofed. "Your a great opponent Shadow Knight, I'll train harder next time." Sinco said. "You do that and you might surpass me." Shadow said. The crowd cheered and shouted as confetti flew through the air. The three mares ran up to Shadow and hugged him as the other contests applaud as the group walked away. The tournament was over and the heroes head for the palace. "Are we going to be able to defeat this villain easily?" Rainbow asked. "No, but I'll do anything to get to Moonblade." Shadow said. "Shadow Knight!" A voice behind them said. It was Sinco and his friend Bula. "I heard you were going to try to save Madame Moonblade." Sinco said. "Who told you that?" Shadow asked. Sinco pulled out a scroll and opened it. It showed some writing, it was signed by Princess Celestia. "That's Princess Celestia's hoof writing alright." Twilight said. "Well, since you know of what we are about to do then we might as well get some rest before we head to the palace. "Right. Because I'm bushed." Sinco said. Right you two can sleep with us in a house that I inherited. "Ok, sounds like a plan." Sinco said.

Off they went, to this house of Shadow's, when they arrived the ponies were suprised as how luxurious and big the house was. It was twice the size of the mansion Shadow had in Ponyville and it was trimmed in gold. "Well, enough eyeballing the house. Time for a good meal and rest. Bula is it?" Shadow said while pointing to the mare next to Sinco. "Yes sir?" Bula asked. "Would you kindly help me in the kitchen? The rest of you can enjoy the training center out back if you like or relax in the living room which every you choose." Shadow ordered. "Twilight." Shadow called out. "Yes, Sir Shadow Knight?" Twilight asked. Shadow Knight then got uncomfortable close to her and touch her horn with a his hoof. It sparked out a bit of magic, as Shadow's hoof left her horn. "There, now you can practice spells from the book when I'm not around. Another thing be careful, if you think you ready for a more difficult spell, come get me and I'll drop everything. No need for you to summon something you can't control." Shadow said while looking into her eyes. Twilight nodded in agreement and followed the others. Angel Wing, Rainbow Dash, and Sinco decided to have a post battle. Something small, nothing to drain their energy completely. Twilight on the other had to keep reading the book Shadow gave her. "Short sword, Short sword? Ah ah! Here it is. Looks pretty simple." Twilight said in her mind as she began concentrating. She tried with all her might and suddenly it appeared, it stuck itself into the ground. The odd part is it wouldn't go away after she released her magic from it. "Umm, maybe the book tells me something. Ah, here. The blade will last as long as forty five minutes." Twilight said in her mind. "You know I can hear you Twilight." a voice said. She jumped at first and said, "Shadow?" "Yes, you never broke the link between us when you casted that telepathic spell." Shadow replied. "Now what's wrong?" Shadow asked. "This short sword I summoned stuck itself into the ground and the book said it will be gone in forty five minutes." Twilight said. It was silent at first then Shadow's voice came back. "Sound about right. Have you tried getting rid of it?" Shadow asked. "Yes, but it's not responding." Twilight said. "Odd, try hitting something with it." Shadow said. Twilight lifted the sword and swung it against a dummy, it sliced the dummy in two and the sword disappeared. "Wow! It worked." Twilight said.

"Well done Twilight, your magic is stronger than expended. Keep practicing." Shadow said. Twilight began reading and using spells more. Sinco attacked Rainbow Dash with a high kick. Angel Wing also attack Rainbow with her sword. Rainbow dodged both attacks and swiped Angel Wing out from under her hooves while giving Sinco a quick jab to the ribs with her hoof. The three kept fighting on and on. While Shadow and Bula were cook up a nice meal. "So Shadow Knight, do you have any family or other friends?" Bula asked. "Actually, the ponies in Ponyville are my only friends. Twilight and Rainbow Dash maybe my student; but they treat me like family." Shadow said. "That's sweet, Sinco is my friend, but he acts like a kid brother I never had. My mother and father are living in Manehatten. My father is CEO of a packaging industry, while my mom is always at home; cooking and clean mostly." Bula said. "Sounds nice." Shadow said. Bula just smiled and nodded. Before too long dinner was ready, every pony had eaten, and headed for bed. Meanwhile in the palace, Empire Sou Ko Kai was scheming a master plan for the city he now controls. "Mawahahahahaha! Tomorrow I will rise the taxes on tea, then on paper and sugar! Mawahaha!" "You heartless monster!" A yellow mare said in a loud, but elegant voice. "Oh, but I already have my dear. I have control over this petty city, but with seven more stones. I'll have control over the entire Land of Dragons!" ......... To be continued.
