the misting peril

Previous Chapter

twilight was fast asleep on a book about the many types of magic from around and afar from Equestria, but her findings turned up nothing about her strange occurrences with the metal nor had it turned up evidence of it ever happening before, but twilight knew that there is something more to it that just what she had done, however she was still searching, however near the Everfree forest a creature and his diamond dog companion just came out and were looking at ponyville from a distance.

"This should be interesting."  Our hooded figure commented dryly

"We might as well get the main panic phase over with." His diamond dog companion said

Soon they entered the town a few hours later and not to their surprise all the sound stopped and soon the ponies were running every which way to get to their homes, but that didn't phase the two until they noticed a emerald green pony with two red eyes staring at them.

"Ah rax and his bitch, rowhen, i was wondering when you two would show up." the figure said

"Gah, i hate you things." Rax cried

"Nice, but there are more of us mimics than there are of you." He said as boxes, bushes, and other objects returned to their normal state

"Damn, i was hoping not to have to use my powers here, but i guess this is a must." Rax said to rowhen

"Dont worry we can take a few mimics, and we may not have to even use allomancy." Rowhen replied as she drew her steel Katana

Rax took this as a cue to draw his twin adamantium sabers, but they had no time to prepare as the first few mimic shape shifted their arms into blades and split into two groups, four were on Rowhen, and three were on Rax, but they still held their own as Rax reached into his cloak pulled out a vial of liquid with pewter, iron, steel, tin, and atium in it and drank the whole thing down, as did Rowhen.

"BE WARY, THEY HAVE THEIR ALLOMANTIC POWERS AT FULL." The commanding mimic shouted as his mimics were being more cautious and not going all in, but they still were going hard nonetheless.

The fight in the middle of the street is not something to be dismissed, because soon it caught the attention of the returning mane 6 to their home, and saw two warriors surrounded by what looked like changelings, but did not exhibit any of their powers, but what caught twilight attention was the bigger one as he pulls out what looks like arrow heads and without using magic, somehow throws them at at least forty five miles per hour tearing a few of the creatures apart, but the interesting thing was that they disintegrated when they died, but soon she was focused again on the two warriors as the bigger one, male probably, was stabbed in the arm, shoulder and leg at the same time, but thanks to his pewter he didn't fall, but merely grunted in pain as he let loose another volley of deadly projectiles, but his companion wasn't fairing better as she was cut along her belly and had multiple stab wounds in her arms.

"Twi, we got to help 'em." Applejack said urgently

"But we don't know them, or why their being attacked." Twilight replied

"Consarnit, we may not know now, but if they die we will never find out, plus i hate watching a fight that is one sided."

"Fine, applejack and rainbow with me," Twilight commanded," and Rarity, fluttershy and pinkie go ready the medical supplies"

the fight was turning out for the worst as the two warriors battle torn and wary were not defending as good as they were at the start nor were they as fast, but they soon got a shock as a big purple flash appeared in front of them and soon three new allies were fighting off the surviving mimics, knowing they were out matched the mimic commander ordered his troops to pull back as they turned into birds as flew away in a good sized flock.

"Alright lets get these two to the hospital and figure out what that was all about." twilight said as she looked at the two mysterious strangers, and summoned stretchers, but she hadn't yet gotten a good look at the faces of the warriors.

~ later at the hospital ~

"We got most of the larger cuts sealed, but the amount of damage they sustained has made many of our unicorn doctors wary" nurse red heart said

"but you got a look at their faces right?"

"hmm, we didn't have the heart to removed the face cloaks they wore"

"when will they be awake?"

"Well judging from the amount of damage they took, about a week."

"well i guess we will have to wait."

"wait, it seems our two warrior have a better constitution than i thought, their already awake," and with that statement the nurse and twilight went to meet the two that mysteriously showed up and turned the square into a battle zone, though twilight has no idea what she wanted to say exactly.

they have figured out that im awake, and the purple one is with, this is good because then i can see, if this is the right place, and if i actually screwed i us over. rax mused as he searched in his pockets and soon came up with a bottle filled with some of the basic metals that gave a allomancer his powers.

"well hello there" twilight said as Rax uncorked the vial, he didn't answer as he pulled down the face mask and drank the entire vial in one go.

"he doesn't talk much to new people, or creatures hes met, it took him 7 years before he even gave me a full sentence" a female voice behind twilight said, soon twilight looked behind her and saw two big yellow eyes on a black diamond dog, and judging from the voice it was female

"who are you two?"

"i am rowhen the diamond dog, and my companion is Rax the Orc, but me and rax are just fine"

"i didn't think orcs traveled that far from their homeland to the east"

"me and him are travelers, we don't usually stay in one place for long"

as twilight was about to ask why the other one look at them with small and serious emerald green eyes, and a face of scars, said "you ever hear about the steel empire from the north?"
