Chapter 6

The prophecy foretold

The alicorn let out an evil laugh and nodded his head. In that instant the changelings and crystal ponies stormed inside the castle. Celestia stood in front of the other ponies and conjured a protective barrier that divide the entrance from the throne room. Celestia turned and spoke to the ponies.

"It will hold, but not for long. You all must get out of here!" Everypony except for Record nodded. He wasn't about to let this pony get away with taking over the castle.

"Princess... Let me fight!" Princess Celestia stared at him with a stern and serious look.

"No, it's to dangerous my sister and I can take them on. Now leave there's a secret passage out of the castle through my chambers." Record didn't move. His mind was racing with thoughts. Why was this happening? Why couldn't he fight to defend his homeland? Who was this alicorn?

"Do you honestly think that a puny magical barrier can stop my army?" Said the alicorn. His horn glowed an ominous crimson. Again he let out another evil laugh. A sudden flash emitted from his horn and when the light cleared the barrier was dispelled.

"No! How can...that's not possible!" Yelled the princess. She tried to conjure another barrier, but her horn wouldn't even release a spark. "My magic? It's been silenced." The alicorn began walking toward them.

"Right you are princess." Suddenly the changelings started swarming around all the ponies. Many of the guards came to their aid, but there was very little success. The guards fell one-by-one as they attacked the swarm. The changelings drained all happiness from the guards and lost any hope to continue.
Record was amazed by their speed and teamwork. He never saw anypony go this fast, not even butcher and his goons moved this fast when fighting.
All of the guards were inside the castle, trying to push back the swarm. The guards started to take down more and more changelings, but it was little success. For ever changeling fell ten guards had already fallen.
All of the ponies were now huddled by Celestia and Luna. Cyber suddenly got off his hooves and started flapping his wings. As he hovered above the ground he was taking notice of his surroundings. He had gotten an idea.

"Record, I'm going to distract them. Stop that pony!" Said Cyber. Record nodded in agreement to his plan. Cyber punched three of the changelings in the face an took off at full speed.
All of the changeling started chasing after Cyber. Record turned and looked at the alicorn. There was anger in both of their faces.

"You little shits. No matter, I'll make your deaths quick and clean." Record started walking toward the pony. Record was right in his face at the same eye level. Record smirked and chuckled.

"Little shit? Your no taller than I am bitch." The alicorn didn't like that at all. In a flash the black pony punched Record in the face knocking him back.

"You do not know who your fucking dealing with you piece of shit."

Record stood up staggering back. His eyes now filled with hatred. He lunged forward hitting the pony square in the jaw, making the pony fly back about five feet. The alicorn just stood back up as if nothing happened.

"I'm not going to lie that hurt just a little bit. But it won't do you any good."

The alicorn's horn began glowing again. Record started to panic. What was he to do, he had never fought with or against magic before. But he had to defend himself against whatever the pony was going to do. Record concentrated hard and his horn glowed navy blue.

"Ah so you can use magic...I was starting to think this would be to easy." Said the alicorn. Record shuddered but took a deep breath an looked the pony in the eyes.

"I'm not going to lose..." Said Record with determination in his eyes.

"We'll see about that." The alicorn looked at Record with an evil grin and without hesitation the pony shot a black orb at Record. Record closed his eyes because he didn't know what to do. This was the end he thought to himself. A sudden cloud of smoke appeared, rumbling was felt all throughout the castle, granite and stone was heard falling... The orb had made a direct impact with Record. The black pony gave an evil smirk.

"That was way to easy. I should have just told him stand still, it wouldn't have to have been as painful." He turned to look at Celestia and the others. Vinyl had tears in her eyes and was on the verge of crying. But then they all heard a moan from behind the alicorn.
The smoke and dust cleared and a large, deep blue bubble was surrounding Record. Record was on his knees, his breathing was fast paced and he was shaking.

"I won't...give up..." Said Record as he stood up. "I won't give up." The black alicorns expression changed.

"Your a tough one..." As soon as the alicorn said that, the crystal ponies started casting spells at Records bubble trying to dispel it. Record started screaming. The sound of the impacts of the spells hitting against the barrier made a high pitch noise, that was to painful for Record to endure any longer. He dispelled the barrier himself. His breathing became faster than it was before. He had never used this much energy in his life at once.
The crystal ponies started walking toward him at a slow zombie-like pace. He was cornered on all sides. Record closed his eyes again waiting for his fate to be sealed...but felt a strong gust pass by him. He turned around and looked up to see Cyber hovering just above them all. He then stormed down and moved Record out of the way.
Record looked behind him to see all of the changeling crash into the black crystal ponies. Record couldn't help but laugh. Cyber dropped Record in front of the alicorn.

"You're finished!" Said Record.

"Finished? You're kidding right?" The alicorn sighed. "You know what I'm gonna do you a favor, and probably make this a little less pathetic on your sorry ass, and I'm not going to use my magic." Record couldn't help but chuckle.

"Works for me." Record charged at the alicorn, he was directly in front of him. When suddenly he vanished. Record looked frantically for the pony. He was no where to be found. Suddenly, Record felt three sudden surges through his body at once; one in the back of his neck, one on his loin, and one on the hock of his leg. Record fell over paralyzed. The only thing he could move were his eyes and they were pointed directly at Vinyl, Zee, and his parents.
The black pony walked from behind Record and they both looked each other in the eyes.

"Hmm...I guess you get a front row seat then. Don't worry you'll be the last volunteer, and I'll even perform on stage." The pony smirked and walked toward the others. Everything started to become a haze and Record had passed out.
A few short minutes later Record woke up to the sound of a mare screaming. He opened his eyes but yet he still couldn't move his body.
He saw Zee and Vinyl cowering and in tears. Record was in shock and not moving a muscle, she only had enough energy to let out that last scream. What Record saw next, he understood why his mother screamed like she did.
What he saw was his father. Blood was dripping from his chest and he was in mid-air only begin supported by the alicorns horn. Records father coughed blood and started bleeding faster. The black pony simply smirked and threw Records father to the ground. In one last breath Record and his father looked each other in the eyes. Records father smiled.

"Record, I...love...y-you..." In that very second his father had died. Record had tears in his eyes. He looked back at the alicorn who was in his mothers face. Her breathing was fast and heavy. The pony smiled and looked her in the eyes.

"BOO" said the alicorn. Records mother couldn't take it anymore. Her age as well as all of the stress didn't help. She fell over on to her side and died if a heart attack. "Well now I didn't even have to get my hooves dirty for that one." The pony started laughing maniacally. That was enough.
Record had been pushed over the edge. He stood up slowly as the color in his eyes faded away. His mane and tail grew longer and became silver. His grey coat became white, and his horn glowed blue again except the aura around it was longer and much more focused.

"You killed my mom and dad...I'LL KILL YOU!" Shouted Record as he ran toward the alicorn. Record readied his hoof to make impact with the ponies face. The alicorn just smirked and stood there. BOOM. The alicorn was sent flying and hit the wall. The black pony stood up stumbling.

"Where did you get so much power all of a sudden?" Record didn't answer. Blinded by fury he started hitting him repeatedly. Blood started flying and repainting the walls into a dark red.
Record didn't hesitate and he threw him across the room and suddenly dead silence. Record shook his head and his coat turn back to a light gray. His mane and tail hair reseated back to its original length. The color returned to his eyes, mane, and tail as well. Record fell over and passed out. He heard a lot of commotion and screaming but he couldn't see anything. After a few minutes of screaming he finally heard Celestias voice.

"Sister this is it...what happened today is exactly as the prophecy had foretold so long ago."

"What do you mean 'The Prophecy'?" Asked Zee.

"In time My Little Pony...in due time. First we must attend to Record. Sister get him to first-aid."

"Of course sister." Said Luna. Record could feel his body being lifted off of the ground. What was going on? Nothing was making sense. Record couldn't hold on any longer and he passed out again without another word.
