Chapters chapter 1, awake the sleeping beast
It was night time over the peaceful land of Equestria, everypony has went to bed and the nocturnal animals have came out of their dens to rule the night. Princess Luna watched over the land, smiling she retreated from her balcony to her royal bedchambers for the night. The bedchamber was relatively new and it had took a while to redecorate, since it was an old storage tower, but, in the end, it looked almost like the Luna princesses' old tower, what was destroyed soon after her transformation. The ceiling was black and had Quartz spheres dotting the black myrtle-ebony wood representing the night sky, the walls, like the rest of the castle had a tall line of gold, but the rest of the walls where a dark blue, similar to the blue Luna was when she was released from her hate.
The interior was nothing to special to look at either, there was a vanity mirror, a large, round, purple bed, with matching velvet, blanket, a large, pair of navy blue doors, the same color as her walls, a rug, that also represented the stars, on top of a simple, oak floor, and a few cabinets, and a large oak chest, with gold trimming. satisfied of her nights work, she would now roam the dreams of her subjects, she took of her breast plate, and slipped out of her hoof-plates, and sighed, Equestria was so different than it was one thousand years ago, it was simple, and the only piece of technology that was rarely used, was an abacus, oh she missed the simple times, she laid on her bed, and sighed, she eventually thought it was time to see what her kingdom where up to in the slumber, so she got comfortable in her large, round bed and focused on her realm of dreams, and was deep inside of her dream land within seconds.
Over in the Everfree, the ‘Eye of nightmare,’ what remained of the mare in the moon silhouette, that disappeared over a year ago, believed to be the essence of Nightmare Moon, that the Elements Of Harmony created by expelling princess Luna's past hatred, and banishing it to the moon, shimmered through the leaves of the canopy of the mysterious forest, reaching towards an opening, near a dark castle, overrun by the forests' foliage, the castle of the royal pony sisters.
The blob sprouted four stumps on its lower-half, and a larger stub, out of its upper-hemisphere.
The skeleton then covered itself in layers of red muscle tissue. It then sprouted two; sharp, white spikes on its side, which also had a layer of muscle. More spiked appeared on the main spider leg-like spike, the rest of the body then covered itself with a thin layer of light-grey skin.
The two holes on the front of the head grew two white blobs, with a slight shade of red; the left adapting a black slit, and an orange iris, and a black pupil in the centre of the white and orange blob, the other red tinted circle glowed brighter, a pinkish, jagged, scar line emerging though the eye. A dull grey-blue skin stretched across and filled the gap between the jagged, grey, spikes, creating a large pair of grey bat-like wings with a red trimming.
Large, red, metallic armor, with an orange trim sprouted on the figure, connected by chain-mail. The armored thestral-unicorn’s hooves touched the ground, he wore a similar helmet and hoof-plates to the fallen Nightmare Moon, except he had a large chip on the right of his helmet, and he wore full-body armor, his mane and tail where like the two reigning princesses, except it was a dark purple, and it had an orange trimming. A grin emerging, revealing his dagger-like fangs, he looked at his surroundings, noticing the moon, without a silhouette, his smirk, turned into a devilish grin, he took a deep breath in, then laughed, his entire body adapted a dark, blood-red aura. “yes, at long last, I am free from that cauldron of a prison, and that, wasteland that once held my foalish moron of a sister” his voice reeked of anger and was saturated with a hatred growl “Fear me Equestria, for your king is back, and he is bringing back the death penalty” his twisted laughter continued, his horn glowed a large, orange aura, and an even larger, red aura.
“for I am Theia (Fay-a) Eclipse,” an impossibly large, orange, magical charge of energy, with an orange spiral, gushed out of his horn, the beam of magical lightning attracted a hoard of storm-clouds, they engulfed the entire sky for at least a 500x500 km area around him. Theia’s maniacal roar of a laughter echoed across the seemingly endless sky of clouds

Chapter 2, you could have chosen better
I shot out of my bed, my eyes wide with shock and my vest covered with sweat. I strained every fiber of my body, trying not to scream. I mentally kicked myself after realizing where I was, the 2x3 bedroom of my apartment. My pupils shrank to their regular size, and my heart rate returned to normal. I looked at my bed, even though I wear glasses, I could tell it was a shipwreck: the pale-grey blanket looked like a rabid dog shook it with its foaming maw, and my mattress was showing in many locations, and my pillow looked like it was dragged through a hedge backwards, it was battered worse than a car after a demolition derby, and the insides where spewing out.
Hi, my name is Zachary Anderson, and no I am not a Brony, but my roommate Shaun is… it drives me mad, but the only reason he's here is so he helps pay the rent. I've seen a few episodes -by force- before which where… that's not the point! Now why do I have to do this again? I mean, the forth wall is only for movies, or TV, I'm just talking to a wall, Pinkie. yea, I'm not buying this Pinkie, I need to go to the throne room, remember? Oh… Kay then
*Twenty five minutes later*
"Welcome, students to 'returning of biology'. Today we will be-" Dr. Marshall said, his attention suddenly drawn to me, "Ah Zachary, nice to see you got out of bed early this morning, stay here after class." He said, blackly. The rest of the class started to snicker, and a few of them burst out laughing. Dr. Marshall turned to the rest if the class, pointing at them,
"Hello?" I said, waving my hand in front of Dan Taylor's head, the stone teen holding the scalpel, still with the cap off, like he was going to stab someone. I patted his head, and put the scalpel, which was the only thing I could see that was not tinted grey, in my left pocket, and stood up and started to walk. I walked towards the front of the room, and stopped in front of the stone doctor. I thought I would play a little and I prodded him with my right index finger, he did not move even a fraction of a millimeter. This time I placed my entire right hand on his chest and pushed hard on his cold stone-like ribs, to the same conclusion, bored, I flicked his large nose and walked to the door on the right side of the classroom. I gripped the Handel with my left hand and tugged, no reaction, panicking, I put both hands on the Handel and put my right foot on the wall and pulled with all might, still to no avail. I ran to the other door and did the same action I did to the other door, still no response.Zachary Anderson " she bellowed, in the regal, royal Canterlot voice "Come with me, for I am in need of your services " She finished, stretching her left wing towards me.I will explain later, now get on my back! "me ? And through there is-Equestia, yes, now get on my back, I have already wasted one equestrian month trying to find a warrior, now obey me, AND GET ON MY BACK! " She yelled, stomping her hoof on the grey floor of the biology lab.
I complied, and climed onto the back of the suppost to be fictional, and mythical, creature.'hold on' , what do you not understand about that?" she said, flatly, "You better have a better grasp when we are several hundred hooves in the air.(1)
I gulped, and dug my hands deeper into the armour, and pressing my body closer to hers. The coal alicorn then streached her wings, and galloped staight into the shimmering portal.SSSSSHHHHHIIIIIIIIII - My shouts where drowned out, as I was dragged out of my world to the next.

Chapter 3, a plan to smite a god
I prepared myself for entering the portal, by holding on to Nightmare Moon's coat and closing my eyes. I felt the blue mass of goo trickle through my fingers and slide up my arms, it felt like water with fairy liquid in it, all wet and weird. I felt the last of the gelatin substance run down my leg, I opened my eyes, and gaped in awe. Below me was Equestria. But something was different?
"Err... Nightmare Moon, what happened here?" I asked.
"Get off" Luna said, I complied and slid of her back. Luna shook herself, she lit up her horn, then she engulfed herself in a strange, glowing, white aura. After a minute the aura disappeared, revealing the younger version of Luna, her coat was a bright blue, and her mane was a slightly darker shade of blue. She walked towards the door, her horn glowing a dark blue, she walked up to the door, and tapped the door with her horn five times, every time the door rippled with a purple shimmer.
Princess Celestia also looked different as well, she looked smaller, and her mane was short and pink. Twilight stood up from her chair,

Chapter 5, Awake and Recovery
I opened my eyes, I was in a dark room. I tried to move my let hand, but it was strapped to some metal bars, tiny tendrils digging into my arm. I looked at my right arm, it was encased in some sort of smooth rock. I tried to move my body, but it was tied down by a thin, but soft material. I tried to wriggle out of it, but my hip and right leg was was trapped in the rocky substance.
I head a beeping sound, coming from my left, I looked at it, and saw a tall, slender pole, with a large box attached. It made four short beeps every second. It had a thin tentacle, feeding through the cuboid, the other end lodged into the left side of my chest, where my heart was.
I panicked and tried to reach it with my left hand, causing the tentacles to tare off. I tried to wince, noticing my jaw was wired shut, by a large metal brace, holding my jaw together, a thin snake-like appendage, slithering down my gullet. I brutally, yanked the tendril, out of my chest, wincing, the box-thing on left emitting an annoying, constant noise.
A light came to life above me, the sound of doors opening followed. I looked around, seeing mint curtains surrounded me. The curtains ruffled, and large shaddowes appeared. The curtins slid open, my heart was pounding my ribcage, my pupils that the size of pinpricks.
The figure stepped out, and I mentally shot myself in the foot. A unicorn stallion entered the room, he was a light brown, with a darker mane, his eyes were blue, and he wore a doctors jacket, and a green tie. His face was soaked with fear
I was utterly mortified, how was I still alive? How close was I to dying?
After two minutes of waiting and wincing at the returning pain in my body, the final screw and brace was removed,a lot of fan letters to go through." Chuckling as he placed the small bags back next to a small, oak table, with numerous items scattered on it
I turned back to the similar sounding doctor, but he was gone. I decided to do as the Doctor said, and began to rummage through the first bag. Inside of it where small recangular cards. I took out about five and looked at them, the first one, was a light purple, with a dark pink trim, on it was a thick human stick figure, drawn with a grey crayon, it was sitting on a black stick figure of a horse. I looked to my left, then to my right, I sighed and looked back at the card, on the top of the card, was golden glitter, spelling the word 'Hero ' I smiled and looked inside. It was hard to read, because the writer used used a purple crayon or something and the writer had scribbly 'hoof' writing. By the looks of it, it was supposed to be a sort of thank you. I looked at the other side, in a silver glitter, spelt the name 'Dinky'.
I smiled, then my eyes widened, "Wait, did he say two weeks? Have I been in a hospital bed for two. Flipping. Weeks? " I thought outloud. I then put the cards and letters to the side, and looked around the bed. I settled my eyes on a small chair on my left, on top of it was a newspaper. I placed the small article on my lap, and looked at it.Alien warrior in hospital '?" I looked at my arms, and wriggled my fingers, "Well, I guess that's true." I said, chuckling.
I heard a slight groan, coming from the curtain from my left. I sat up, wincing as my spine clicked in several locations. I reached for the curtain, but as my hand approached the mint barrier.do not bring a party cannon to a Hospital ward!' "Twilight ," moaned a loud voice, "He is ill, and party cannons make ill ponies laugh."god !" A forth voice said.
My eyes widened, as my back clicked in several places, and my eyes drifted to the right, where the noise of the ponies emitted. I fell back onto my bed, trying to not look suspicious. As I covered my torso, with the mint blanket. The slightly open curtain, was forcefully yanked wide open, light racing in, like a rock through a window.SURPRISE! " yelled a blurry, pink mass of fur. I cringed, and blocked my eyes and ears from the onslaught of light and sound. A slight "Eep" was heard as the sound of squeaking wheels echoed down the hallway of the hospital.
I put my arms down in curiosity, and instantly regreted it. a mass of pastel confetti, streamers, and baloons pushed me three inches into my matress and pillow. it felt like I said to Mike Tyson "Give me your best shot, pigeon-boy!" while I flipped the bird at him with one hand, and punched a pigeon with the other.
"Pinkie!" Yelled Twilight, stopping Pinkie from pulling the cord again, "do you know how many ribs he has already broken?"please get an explination to what the hell is happaning?" I groaned, picking off stray confetti from the mint-green hospital robes.
"Oh yea," Twilight said, stroking the back of her head with her lavander hoof, "Well, now that you are not in a coma, we wanted to see how you where doing, and ask you more questions before your big heroes party tommorow." She finished, with a squee.
'This is going to be a long day', I thpught to myself, as I was about to face an endless aunslaught of questions.
This it tak'in forever, Ace!" A blue, unicorn stallion with yellow mane and eyes yelled at a larger Pegasus stallion, with a red mane and darker blue coat, "We have been search'in for two bloody weeks , and we still have not found that stupid body yet!" He continued his rant.Princess Celestia herself, to find the body of her brother, who put the other two princesses, prince Shining Armour, and some alien samurai in the hospital! Now shut up, work harder, or we don't get paid!"
The Pegasus walked over to a another pile of rubble, and hit it with the spade(1) wrapped between his wings.
Before Ace gave up, he saw a sticky, purple residue, ooze from the black rock,
The dark purple slowly turned red as it entered the stallions vains, replenishing itself, as more of it filled the stallions body.complete !" His voice was deper, and brung the sound of death, which shattered the young unicorn's spine.
Ah he uttered those words, the flesh of the unicorn bubbled, like it was in a vat of acid, and the muscles melted away, revealing a bone of charcoal, all the while the yellow mane unicorn cried, and tried to retaliate from his tourture.want from me?" He tried to say, as boiling blood dripped down his muzzle.horn !" The words where still ice, tearing at his flesh.
As the rest of his hind legs melted, another bloody tentacle formed on the possessed pony's other hoof. it bent itself, until it was the shape of a sword. He smirked as the blade cut the flesh of the unicorns scalp, slowly reaching the magical core of a unicorn. He then jerked it to the right, tearing the bone from the cranium. By then, the hornless unicorn fell into unconsciousness, and his lower torso was dissolved.
The severed horn was picked up in more red tendrils, it was them placed on the scalp of the Pegasus, spiraling tentacles attaching it in place, the rest of the pony was dissolved, leaving only the stained skeleton. The blank eyes, and the horn, of the technically-an-alicorn, glowed red, with an orange tint, the eyes of the skeleton doing the same, scratchings in its bones pulsing with a red fluid.
"Soon my army will be rebuilt, AND I, THEIA ECLIPSE, WILL DESTROY THE WORLD, AND ALL WILL BE DUST! " Theia laughed a devils cackle, as the sky darkened, and all chance of hopes salvation, dust

Chapter 6, fall of the crystal empire
"Question twenty five," Twilight said flipping through her notebook, "How long is your species' lifespan?"one hundredth question.no way that I am going to answer that!" I said, trying not to sound too harsh.science !"finally! " she groaned, walking besides me, "Soo, Zach, dose your planet have anything that can fly?" She asked, stretching her wings,
Rainbow Dash shook her head, and looked me strait in the eyes, her eyes seemed irked and confused.
I looked down the page, seeing some odd names here and there;these ?" I finished, giving her back the notebook. Twilight looked at the last the last ten or so names, her face looked irked,Prince Blooblood " she finished, her, and rarity's face wore a sour expression.died to save Equestria, and other nations! and they treat you like some alie- I mean wild animal, or dirt!" Rarity yelled, hitting her hoof against the polished floor of the hospital.hit him with the flat of his larger sword, in the groin!" he finished, trying to still sound like a mixture of professionalism and insanity, with a hint of Irish.
Twilight's eyes started to well, as she heard of the injuries to her beloved brother, who lost his leg, his job, and nearly his own, and wive's life.
Theia walked down the streets of the Crystal Empire, eagerly anticipating that bloody flag to be torn from its post, and replaced with the bodies of its rulers to make sure there are no rebellions from the other nations that wanted him dead. As he walked past another street block, another horde of earth pony guards, with pointy sticks approached him,
The other pony guards where lifted in the orange and crimson aura, and with a smirk of Theia's twisted lips, the steel armour melted, the manes, tails, and flesh of guards' burst onto an array of orange flames, like Calcium to water, their screams like sweet nectar to Theia. And as the flames died down, and the scorched skeletons of the guards' set in mounds of metal, Theia continued is stroll down his burning hell, that he called 'memory lane .'
"Where exactly is he now?" I asked the doctor, he looked at the clipboard in his blue aura,
What was beyond the curtain was a sight, with no way to explain in the form of text or words. On the bed, was the not-so-regal, and shattered body of Princess Luna, but most of her body, and her head, where in a thick cast, two inch of her horn was surgically attached to the rest of the bone with metal bars, her left eye, muzzle, and half her torso where all the you could see, and running down her shaved torso, was a humongous gash, held tight with stitches, stretching from shoulder blade, to rump. A thick tube from a machine, went through her mouth, exposing many of the teeth that were missing, showing off her blood-drenched gums. Her right hind leg, was held up in the air, pools of the crimson life fluid, coated the cast.
Everypony, and me, in the room looked mortified, no word to explain their faces, but a mixture of sorrow, horror, shock, and depression,
Cadence looked perfectly well, apart from the raised leg, with a cast around it, and the bandage around her chest. Beside her, on the bed-side table, was a pile of books, and a white card, with the insignia of a dark purple shield, with a lighter, almost pink, purple star cresting the centre of the shield. She was awake, but her bloodshot eyes, and her cheeks, where soaked with tears, and sorrow, and she was staring blankly at the ceiling.
Cadence sat on her crystal throne, even though she wanted to help her people with her husband. The argument still ringing through her head.
"Please, this is my kingdom as well!" Cadence pleaded to her beloved husband, "No, it is too dangerous, he will kill you!" the armored unicorn replied, trying walking towards his wife, his spear held tightly in his purple aura. "But he will kill you too, and, and pl-please, I want to help, and he-he has- "Cadence, I know I might die out there, but you know what? I will die for you!" He finished, brining his alicorn wife into a passionate kiss. "Goodbye, sweet prince," Cadence whispered, as the last trace of his husband left the throne room, her cheeks drenched with tears. AND THIS! " yelled a deep, muffled roar, another, but less load *thump* echoed through the not-so-crystal chamber, as blood trailed underneath the door, and obsidian arteries spiraled into the room, breaking the door hinges, and a red and white blob flung into the room.
Cadence complied, and galloped to her throne, which is now entwined obsidian veins of corruption, and with her little magic that was left, she jerked the amethyst from the throne, the seat of the throne opening, reveling a tunnel. Cadence looked back one more glance at her dying husband, then the god that tore his leg off.escape, and leave Shining, or fight, and die? 'Escape? 'Fight! '
Cadence was spitting blood, as she crawled towards the balcony, all the feeling in her lower torso left her.mother ' Cadence thought, as the world slipped away from her, and she slumped into unconsciousness.
"Cadence? " Twilight said, softly, putting her lavender hoof, against the soft, light salmon-pink fur of her princess foal-sitter. Cadence instantly snapped out of her trance, and jerked her head towards Twilight, and she slowly turned her head to the rest of us,Thank you, Zachary " she said, softly.
"Oh, where is Shining?!" Cadence blurted, franticly looking in other directions for her beloved crippled husband.technically be back on all three soon." The doctor jokingly reassuring the pink alicorn.
"Hay princess?" I asked, "I have a question; when you got knocked out, why did Luna call you her 'daughter '? Wouldn't she be on the moon at that time?" I finished, everypony in the ward gawping, even Cadenza, though her expression also contained some nervous facial expression.alicorn , she must make it out of magic!"mother ." Wheezed a weak and tired, but regal voice, coming from the bed to my left.
Everypony looked at the battered princess of the night, unaware of her consciousness,space chimp back to the zoo yet?" He continued, entering the ward.prince Blueblood, nephew of princess Celestia, I can banish you in a-brute ! Isn't that right everypony? What is it? PAY ATTENTION TO ME, SIMPLETONS, I AM YOUR PRINCE! Everypony?" Blueblood finished, looking at Celestia, who looked like she was just impaled.
"MUM!" Cadence screamed, the attention directed towards princess Luna, who was clutching her chest with her one free hoof and foam formed in her mouthPrincess! " yelled a royal guard, galloping into the solar monarch, "Are you alright, we have urgent news from the Crystal Empire!" He said keeping the slightly shrinking princess standing, her mane now short, and light salmon pink.Ggghhhh what is the problem, commander!" Celestia moaned, gritting her teeth,the empire hast been evacuated!" Luna said, looking how she did when the elements redeemed her,from the dead !"

Chapter 4, to kill a thestral king
I soared through the air at the speed a bullet train would have had a problem keeping up with, on my trusty steed, Nightmare Moon. We were flying low, a few meters above the frozen wasteland of the north. I wore my glowing armor, goblet, and necklace, and Luna wore her blue armor and saddle.
I sat on Luna's back trying to make sense of the situation, I put my right hand on the sobbing monarchs' shoulder. Luna shot her head up, her face damp, her sobs replaced by screams of anger, she stood up, and shot her brother a glance that could stab a dragon though its titanium scales,
The barrier that one held us melted into hot lava. Her colours inverted; her coat looked bleached, her mane a bright golden brown. Her serpent eyes glowed an unnatural shade of red, which would put Tartarus to shame. And her armour exploded in heat, as the gates of hell where blown off in her tempest of anger that could consume anything and everything in its path.
Theia smirked and threw the helpless body inside the black-rock castle. He then flew towards his raging sister. The glowing 'Luna' did the same and they both flew together at a speed which could almost break the sound barrier . Theia, drifted hazily to the left, letting his spiked spike on the tip of his wing collide with his storm of a sister, and leaving a meter-long gash on her side. Luna, (with me on her back) spiralled into the walls of the castle, screaming like a Windigo.
She broke through the one-meter wall of the castle, I cringed as the large chunks of obsidian slammed into my armour, leaving gashes of skin showing. Luna broke through the next wall, this one was a quarter of a meter thick, but it was still painful as more off the shards pierced Luna and me. I broke the enchantment on the saddle and jumped off the alicorn, as she hit another wall, this time she created a large crater and slumped onto the hard floor.
Is stood up and cringed with pain. I looked at my right shoulder pad, it had a large dent which grinded at my bone. I grabbed it with my large goblet, and tore it off, it was like taring paper, and it came off easily. I heard a weak groan from behind me, I turned around,cryfilly ," he said, grinning, "She will live, as long as you can stop me, or until the last of her blood oozes onto my clean floor, because you could not save her! Ooh the sorrow is just simply delectable ," he sighed with happiness as he then spread his wings.bitch " I yelled, as I drew my katana. Theia smirked at that remark, he then lit up his horn, and two swords appeared next to him, one blade was three meters long and a quarter of a meter wide, the other was a dagger compared the first, but it was double sided and each blade was a meter long.
Theia smirked, and then lunged his great sword at me. I rolled to the side, dodging his blow, Theia, on the other hand, saw it coming and bucked his hind leg, kicking me in the pelvis. I grunted and swung my sword to the left, hooking it onto the chain mail that kept his boot to his leg armour. I twisted the katana, and dug it down, and pulled the sword towards me. Theia gritted his teeth at the sword cut into his lower-leg. I kicked the armour, digging the sword deeper into his leg.
I twisted the katana again, breaking off the armour. Theia screamed in pain as a chunk of his flesh slumped onto the floor. He swung his thick sword again, and it lodged it into my left shoulder pad. He hit the hilt, causing it to pop off.
I looked up at him, and grabbed his horn with my goblet. I jerked his head to the left, then hit his face into the wall. He blindly lunged with his double-sided sword, I ducked, and it hit the wall, snapping the blade in two, I smirked and hit his face again with my fist. He cursed through his clenched teeth, as he jerked his head to the right, and hit me in the back of the head with the flat of his great sword.
I flew to the right and slammed into the wall, beside Luna. I looked to my right, and looked at Luna's face, she was still breathing, but slower than before, I looked at the gash across her side and hind leg. I looked forwards, noticing Theia was walking towards Luna, his great sword grinding on the black floor.worthy opponent, looks like little Lulu is not going to make it." His lip quivered and his good eyes' pupil enlarged, he snickered again revealing his large fangs, I lifted my right hand, only to be stopped by half of the double-sided blade,this ?" I asked, kicking him in his groin, causing Theia to scream, his blade fell to the floor. I seized the opportunity, and grabbed the blade, and ran towards himEnough! " Theia shouted, blasting a wave of energy, knocking me backwards several meters, my armour falling to pieces. I tried to get up, and yelped in pain as a large, throbbing pain came from my arm. I grabbed my arm and looked at the god, he held a golden dagger connected a chain necklace with a gold and amethyst gem inside, hanging on the end. I looked at my chest, seeing that my magic dampening necklace was gone, I looked back at Theia, his dagger glowing a bright orange, and the necklace burst into flames. He smirked againsisters' tricks?" He asked his dagger glowing again "Looks like Lulu's light just burned out " he said, a large ball of energy emitting from his dagger, aiming it at Luna. I was too far away to intercept the blast, so I looked around me, and saw my battered chest plate. Theia's dagger shot the flaming ball of energy at the heavily wounded princess, I grabbed the still glowing metal and ran towards Luna, and threw the chest plate in front of the princess.
The two objects collided, destroying both of them in an explosion, shards of steel and gold flying in all directions. I took the chance and darted to a closer cover to Theia. I looked around, to see if there was an object of any use, I only found scraps of armour… and the bow I dropped when crashing through the walls. I picked up the glowing object, an arrow materializing in my right hand. I drew he bow, the arrow catching fire, I crouched next to the obsidian wall, a large blast of energy tearing off more chunks of the volcanic rock. I took a breath in, and leapt out of cover, doing an aileron roll, before firing a flaming arrow at his grotesque leg, that was missing a chunk of flesh and muscle.
I landed behind another obsidian wall; I got another arrow and drew the bow again, and looked across the room, seeing that the arrow had shattered his fore-right kneecap, and was boiling his blood, causing him to howl in agony,I will slit your throat, like I slit my sister's side! " he screamed, barley holding the dagger. I launched another flaming arrow at him, this one going through the bace of his right wing.
Theia dropped the dagger as he felt a lightning bolt running through his body. He turned to look at his wing, there was a large gash running through it, and it looked like the arrow had torn several nerves, causing him collapsed onto the floor. I dropped the bow and ran towards the dagger. I grabbed the dagger, and aimed it at his barrel. I smirked and the dagger glowed orange, blasting a ball of energy into Theia's stomach.
Theia was blasted onto the balcony, the explosion tearing off his right wing, most of his left, his fore-right hoof, and most of his armour. I walked slowly towards the balcony, stopping only to pick up my golden katana. I stopped several feet away from the squirming god. Upon closer inspection, I saw half of his face was gone, revealing the torn muscle tissue, cracked jaw, and fractured skull. His horn was chipped and cracked, and shards of metal where lodged into his skin. I was a few ribs and bones jutting out of his body. I also saw one of his arteries' where showing, where half of his fore-hoof was before.
He looked at me a face of disgust, and snarled,get... Away from me! " he wheezed, I only smirked in response,rot on this balcony, because you have at least have five minutes before you die of blood-loss, your lungs filled with blood, or your ribs stabbing your heart," I said bitterly, "But, I want the final blow, you, worthless excuse of a god, a king, and a brother, you little. piece. of. SHIT!!" I shouted, aiming the dagger at his face, letting it glow brighter than magnesium in pure oxygen.
He winced as the heat boiled his flesh, I squinted, trying to see his face. I then jerked my arm to the right, shooting where the castle and the balcony connect, causing a gigantic explosion.You fool! " Theia stuttered, "you've kill us both! " I smirked,
Suddenly, I felt a sharp object dig itself into my right leg, snapping my Fibula like a twig. I dropped my sword and screamed in agony. I then felt a charge of energy run though my body, bursting a nerve or two. I fell to the ground, paralysed.
I got onto my stomach, and crawled towards the screaming god. I used the horn to get myself onto my knees, then I chucked, the beaten horn back inside the castle. I turned back to Theia, who was struggling to get onto his three and a half hooves. I stood up, panting, I trudged towards the god. I lunged at him, catching Theia off guard. I landed on his stomach, winding him. I began punching his monstrous face repeatedly. He tried to kick me with his stub, trying to stop my blows with what was left of his grotesque leg.
Theia spat at me, I put my hand to my face. He then whacked his metal hoof-plate on the side of the head. I collapsed onto the floor, Theia rolling on top of he. He then proceeded to punch me in the face with his metal hoof-plate. He then shoved what was left of his fore-right leg into my mouth, attempting to choke me with his blood! I tried to push his leg out of my mouth, the pressure feeling like it would snap my jaw off.
My arms became limp, as my vision blurred. My throat was being stretched as the blood constantly filled my lungs. I was about to give up, water welling up in my eyes, Theia's voice slightly faded, but I could still hear it,
I still felt like I could do something, but I couldn't. 'What, what's that? ' I thought, keeling something in my left pocket. I pulled it out, seeing a metal rod, with a plastic cap,the scalpel! I took off the cap with my thumb. I looked one more time at Theia, closed my eyes, and hit his face with my right elbow, then I jabbed his right eye socket with the scalpel.
Theia screamed, as the blade penetrated his skull. He yanked his leg out of my mouth, and fell over, landing next to the balcony. I turned over instantly, throwing up a large amount of blood. I tried to stand up, the hole in my right leg pulling me down. I limped slowly towards the dying monarch, trying my best to smirk with a busted jaw,
I spat on his corpse, then I walked back inside the castle. I grabbed my katana, and I walked back to the balcony entrance. I looked down at the crack that was separating the balcony from the castle. I held up my sword, and plunged it into the gap, causing the crack to enlarge, the balcony, and its passenger, starting to collapse.
I grinned, then looked back inside the castle.please... Get up ." Tears where flowing freely now, I had no idea what to do,not now " I wheezed, turning to see where Cadence was, my body becoming limp. I shook my head, gritting my teeth, my brain feeling like a train-wreak. My eyelids drooped, and my face lost its look of sorrow as my aching body slumped onto the once again white floor as the entire castle was turning back into its normal state.
