3. This Is The End

Previous Chapter

I can remember it so well, the cold wind, the sky blacken, my armor weighting on my back, my sword ready for battle. Everypony stand their position, waiting for the Nightmare Force, waiting for the order to chance. We evaluate the citizen to order location to the Crystal Empire, Cloudsdale, anywhere they would be safe. As time passed, a Pegasus reported the Nightmare Force was closing in.

The ponies stood more firmly, cold sweat ran down they head. They were a mile away now. Astro "For Equestria!!!" The ponies repeat his word, then charge to the massive waves of the Nightmare. Swords clash with the creature, shields block their attack, arrows rained on them. The Unicorns use their magic to wipe out many of the Force. The Pegasus was our air support, & use the wind & weather to give us more advantage. Many of us got injure or have fallen, but those of us still alive fought harder for our fallen comrade.

The battle seem to be in our favor, but then Nightmare Force had one last trip. They all gather together into one pile, forming a huge monster of terror. This beast was of Everypony nightmare. With one swing, it took out many ponies. The Earthponies shoot all the boulders launcher, while the Pegasi conjure a hurricane, & the Unicorns unit their magic into one blast. But, they did not work together, their attack was effect less.

The monster seem unstoppable. The battle seem lost. I ran to Astro & Aurora for new plan. Johnathan "My King & Queen, The beast is taking our force down. When need to evaluate Everypony" Astro "Do that as quickly as possible. Tell them to get as far away. Me & the Alicorns will handle the beast, once & for all. Get our daughters deep down into the basement &....... tell them we love them very much." They both have tears in their eyes. Aurora "Johnathan, please take care of our precious little fillies. Their lives are important to use."

He ran to everypony, telling them to flee as fast as they can. With one last glimpse, he saw all the alicorns gather in a circle just like his dream. With all his strength, he ran to the castle. The place was complete lifeless. He ran up to the princesses room, with no princesses. He call their names, they came from the hiding spot.

Celestia "Johnathan what happening?" Luna "I'm scared, where mommy & daddy?" He lead them downstairs to the basement. Johnathan "Celestia, you have to care of Luna & Luna protect your sister as well. Stay here until it's safe. Celestia & Luna, your parents love you both very much. Always remember that."

He lock the door & head for the castle front door. Many of the Nightmare Force was surrounding the castle. He had to fight them back, he had to protect the Princesses. He slash many down with his sword. Many cut his skin. He was blooding badly, it became harder for him to stand. But he couldn't give up, he promise his friend.

Then one stick it's hand to his heart, he fell as the creatures was surround him. He would die, not now. Then a big light flash, it was spreading to the whole kingdom of Canterlot. The Nightmare Force & the Alicorns was disappearing, & so was JohnathanShadow. Johnathan "So this is it." Everything turn black.
