Shadow Knight: An Untold Legend

It was morning and every pony was back at what they do best. Training or just laying around. As for Shadow Knight, he decided it was time to study his prey. To find his weakness and find out what he has done with Madam Moonblade. He used his powers of the darkness, and began monitoring Emperor Sou Ko Kai. He followed him even to most dangerous locations, he also monitored what goes on in the place. Where guards are located and when they switch in between shifts. Then began formulating a plan on how to save Moonblade and how to help free the ponies of the city. He returned three days later with his findings. "Sir Shadow Knight your back." Bula said. "Yes and I have much to tell. How is everyone doing?" Shadow asked. "Great actually. Twilight is improving on here spells and others have become much stronger than when you left." Bula replied. "Good tell them to meet me in the living room I have plans to discuss with them." Shadow said as he went up stairs. "Right away." Bula said while trotting outside to summon the others. She was happy that she didn't have to sit around in a dusty apartment, like how she use to with Sinco.

"Hey every pony, Shadow's back!" Bula yelled. The others ran inside almost trampling Bula. They all met in the living room and waited. Shadow came back down with parchment, quill, and ink. He drew out an exact replica of the palace. "Alright, listen up. Because this is the part were we leave the fun and games behind us. We put down the wooden swords and pick up the real deal. Now this place is crawling with guards, but there is a weakness to them. Their armor is really heavy and it's hard for them to move as fast as we do. So I want Rainbow Sinco and Angel Wing to cause a distraction. Take out as many guards as you can then meet me and Twilight in the Throne room where The Emperor's Body Guard will be. Will need all of us to take him down, so that we can break into the secret room where The Emperor will be hiding along with Moonblade. If we don't do this right. We kiss the sun we love and the moon we adore goodbye. Any questions?" The team looked scared and didn't say anything. They just stared at Shadow as if to say "Your joking right?" Shadow was now getting wary as well. Rainbow raised her hoof. "Yes Rainbow?" Shadow asked. "I don't think three ponies are going to distract that many guards. Why don't we ask for some big support?" She said as she poked Twilight. Twilight didn't get it at first, but then she remembered. "You mean...?" Twilight said. Rainbow nodded in agreement, but Twilight was wary to say it. "What are you two talking about?" Shadow asked. "Well, while we were trying to find you. We met some dragons along the way. So what we were thinking was maybe they could help us?" Twilight said. Shadow stared at them blankly and then said "That would be brilliant if you can find a dragon to agree to this." "Are you kidding? The Emperor has been stealing at lot of jewels from dragons. What dragon won't want a piece of the action?" Angel Wing said. "Alright, I'll go with you Twilight and Rainbow to find a dragon to help us." Shadow said with a smile.

Off they went out of the city into the wasteland to find a dragon that would be willing to help them on their dangerous mission. They walked what seemed like forever until they found the oasis that the water dragon stayed in. He was sun bathing on the shore with sun glasses, holding a sun mirror. "Hey Lockjaw." Twilight said in a cheery voice. Lockjaw looked over to see the three ponies walking up to him. "Awe! My friends what bring you back to my lair?" Lockjaw said. He then looked at Shadow with curiosity in his eyes. "Is that your friend?" He questioned. "Yep and the reason we are here is because we need a dragon to help us take down the Emperor in City of the Moon." Rainbow said with a smile. Lockjaw thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, but no dragon would want to get tangled in pony affairs that big." "Not even for all the jewels and treasure inside?" Twilight said. "Nope sorry." Lockjaw replied. "Then how about for a lover's sake?" Shadow said with a sorrowful tone. This surprised the dragon with such a tone change he turned to look at Shadow. "Please the only pony I ever loved is been captured by Emperor. I don't know what he wants with her, but I want her back. Ever waking morning and night I spend away from her makes my heartbreak. I cry myself to sleep at night, knowing I can never see her unless I do something. Unforntantely, I can't do it alone; I would be killed before I made it through the door." As he said this a tear rolled down his eye. He sniffed and tried to control his emotions, but the dragon saw the sadness through his tough guy look. He saw the heart of a knight withering on the inside. Lockjaw began to tear up then he finally gave in.

"Oh fish tails and oyster pearls! Me and my big dragon heart can't take it any more. Look, I know a dragon who can help you, but his is going to be a lot harder to convince than I. He lives in the bone yard just west from here, just past that tree and over that hill." Lockjaw said. "Thank you. Lockjaw, I won't forget you." Shadow said with a bow. "Just rescue your girlfriend and we'll call it even." Lockjaw said before descending to into the water. The ponies followed Lockjaw's instructions and in the bone yard they were. They kept walking until another dragon appeared with a dragon skull on his head and a staff with all sorts of bones on it. "I am, Uka Dova! Who is treading in The Bone Yard of Dragons?" The dragon shouted. "Shadow Knight, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Dash. We come to seek help from you." Shadow replied.

"Oh yes, you come to seek my help to over throw the Emporer and save Madam Moonblade?" Uka Dova asked. "Yes that is true." Shadow replied. "Then you have come to the right dragon. Sou Ko Kai has been evading fate for far too long. He has stolen one of my charms in hopes of summoning Kami To Dovako. The Wishing Dragon." Uka Dova said. " Then that's even more proof that he must be stopped." Shadow said. "Yes, but I can't help you myself, but I can give you something that will help you." Uka Dova said. "And what is that?" Shadow questioned. "This bones are restless and wish to rise again to seek vengeance against The Emperor. This bones once belong to Kinvenokai, The Dragon of Justice." "We will accept your offering." Shadow said. "Splendid, I call upon the fires of the old dragons. We wish to arise the dragon known as Kinvenokai to help these ponies and to serve greater justice upon The City of the Moon!" Uka Dova shouted and slammed his staff on a skull. The bones assembled into a dragon skeleton and fire began to in gulf it. Skin and meat began to form around the skeleton, then with a mighty roar. Kinvenokai was once again alive and well. His was green as an emerald and is eyes were blue. "I heed the call to Justice and must bring it upon The City of The Moon!" Kinvenokai said. "Wait! We need you to bring justice, but we also need time to recuse someone can you give us that time?" Shadow asked. "Your wish is my command." Kinvenokai said. He then flew toward the city, Twilight then teleported then back to the oasis. She rested then, teleported then to Shadow's house in time to get every pony ready.

The fight is on and Kinvenokai was already on the scene. He threw the guards around like rag dolls. He was causing a lot of attention. Then Shadow's team took this as a chance to get in unnoticed. They cut down any guards that stood in their way. They reached the throne room to see The Emperor slip into his secret room and his body guard was ready for a fight. The body guard was tall green and had weird armor on. "Ha ha ha! You think, you'll get past me Sinco?" The bodyguard yelled. "You can count on it! You guys go ahead, I know how to handle this creep." Sinco said before running into combat. Shadow busted open the steel door to find another problem, another bodyguard was waiting for then. He was just as ugly as the last, Angel Wing motioned the others to let her handle him. Shadow, Rainbow, and Twilight were the only ones left. Another door stood in their way, "Ugh! I hate all this door!" Twilight said before accidentally letting out a small burnt of magic. "Wow, nicely done. You knock the door down." Shadow said. "Stay back!" The Emperor said. "Your dictatorship is over! Hand over Madam Moonblade!" Shadow commanded. "Never!" The Emperor yelled back. "This will only end badly for you Shadow! One more step and I'll slit her throat!" "Shadow I learned a time stop spell. Let me deal with him." Twilight said telepathically. "No! Use it and get Moonblade out of harms way. I'll deal with Sou Ko Kai!" He commanded. Twilight summoned all her strength and used the spell. She was in a black and white dimension, she didn't stall to study her surroundings. She removed Madam Moonblade from the Emperor's grasp and proceed back to her spot. The spell wore off and The Emperor was now in serious trouble. He yelped at the fact he had no back up plan, no escape route and no way to stop the rampage of an angry knight.

Shadow smiled in twisted way as he then proceed to rip the Emperor to shreds. As Twilight and Rainbow left with Madam Moonblade, they could here the distance screams of The Emporer and the roars of Shadow. Moments later Shadow returned from the scene to the waiting embrace of Madam Moonblade. "Oh Shadow! I thought I never see you again." Moonblade said with tears in her eyes. "I told you I would come back, but now that we are together again. We need to get this place back into shape, because Equestria will need your troops reinforcements." Shadow said. "Is something bad going to happen?" Moonblade asked. "Yes and I'm afraid Equesrtia doesn't have enough forces to drive it back." Shadow replied. Moonblade nodded in agreement to help Equestria. For the next five weeks Shadow began helping Madam Moonblade rebuild her city and reinforce it with health guards. Angel Wing was the commander and chief of The New Guards. Shadow asked Sinco to join the forces, but refused to be a guard. "I'll help Equestria, but being a guard isn't my way. I'm going to back to my master to train again and tell him of Equestria troubles. Maybe he can help me in the long run." Shadow understood and didn't stop him at the least. Twilight and Rainbow returned to Equestria to tell the Princesses what Shadow was planning and agreed that the extra troops were gladly accepted.....to be continued.
