Dawn of a New Era

The mysterious person referred to as 'War Lord' started looking around at the many terrified faces of every pony in the Crystal Empire. He saw their injuries that the pressure, from when he came into the world, had caused them, as well as the injuries that the rubble from the destroyed buildings. He saw the terrified looks in their eyes and knew very well that they all wondered what he might do to all of them.

Well he was very well going to show them what he's going to do.

He stretched his right arm out and after he did that storm clouds started coming in. However, instead of rain only lightning came in and struck in any place causing ponies to get shocked and injured while other ponies started running in terror. He loved to hear their screams as they all run for their lives, it made him grin with every bit of suffering they were going through.

Twilight was terrified herself for seeing what was going on right in front of her. Her friends weren't going good with all this either, they tried to run for it, but to no avail since the pressure got to the palace as well. Twilight, her friends, her brother, sister-in-law, and parents huddled together to try and avoid what was going on.

Twilight looked over at the two sisters and saw that from the looks of it that they were the most terrified of them all. Hearing them say 'War Lord' made her realize that they must already know about him.

Celestia started to back away from the scene. "Th-this, this can't be happening." It wasn't long before all them saw the terror in her eyes as well as the terror in Luna's eyes. "How can this be happening?"

"Princess," Twilight spoke up getting Celestia's attention. "do you know who that is?"

Celestia looked back the mystery person. "I'm afraid I do." In truth she really didn't want to know who that was after knowing what he was capable of over the past centuries. One look at him and she realized that since he returned then they are all in for true destruction. "His name is 'War Lord' a being created for destruction." Twilight couldn't believe what she was hearing, she found in hard to believe that someone would be created for destruction. "Twilight do you remember the books that explain entities?"

"Of course I do," Twilight answered. "It explains that entities are immortal beings of different prospects of many worlds." Twilight thought about what she said and why Celestia asked a question like that. After a couple of seconds of thinking this through her grew wider. "You mean that that's a-"

"Yes!" Celestia said interrupting Twilight but at the same time answering her question.

Shining Armor went out to the end of the balcony and looked at the guards. "GUARDS!" Shining yelled at them getting their attention. "ATTACK THAT THING IN THE SKY!" They didn't need a second order to tell them to go as the Pegasus guards flew to the storm and the Unicorn guards started some magic beams in the storm as well.

Luna went over to the balcony to Shining Armor's shock and tried to get the guards to stop. "NO PLEASE!" Luna pleaded to the guards. "WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T ATTACK HIM!"

It was too late for them to stop when some of them attacked the storm clouds War Lord was making and some of them attacking War Lord himself. However, none of them were successful since the storm was too powerful for even the strongest of Pegasi and the magic blasts went through War Lord like it was nothing. This however, did get his attention as he turned to look at who he thought was foolish enough to even try to harm him.

"My turn."

He then raised his arm out and shot fire from it aiming at the Unicorn guards. He didn't bother to attack the Pegasus guards since the storm was doing it for him. In the storm the Pegasus guards were all staring face to face with what looked like a tornado made entirely out of hail that was getting bigger and bigger every second they get closer to it. It wasn't long before a few of the Pegasus guards got sucked into the vortex and the others got hit by the hail and lightning. After all of this they fell to the ground with serious injuries from the hail and burn marks from the lightning. Some came crashing down to the balcony and one look at them made Twilight and every pony have wide eyes.

Flash Sentry was one of the guards that fell to the balcony and it made Twilight rush to him. "What happened?" Twilight said raising Flash's head.

"The storm was too powerful." Flash said struggling to say it without stuttering in pain. "Some of the guards got sucked into a tornado full of hail."

Rainbow Dash found it hard to believe, that was until the tornado started crashing down to the ground. "How is that possible?" Rainbow Dash questioned. "A tornado made out of hail, that can't be right."

Celestia stepped up. "It's because of whose causing it." She looked at the Crystal Empire as the tornado started causing even more damage and even more destruction.

It was at that moment that War Lord looked back at the Royal Sisters and used his power to trap them and all of the others in the crystal of the of palace. He levitated himself near them and spoke in the most creepiest of voices in front of the princesses. "Now you will understand what you have done."

Just being right in front of them made Celestia and Luna want to scream in horror over what was in front of them. Through his cloak they saw his eyes glowing dark red, one of the things that they fear from him.

Twilight saw this and was afraid that he might do something to them. "DON'T YOU DARE HARM THEM!" Twilight screamed.

Her screaming caught his attention. He slowly made his way to Twilight in a menacing way. "No please!" Celestia pleaded to War Lord making him stop, but he didn't keep his eyes off of Twilight. "This isn't about her, your fight is with us not her. Don't do anything to her."

He still didn't look at Celestia but he did respond. "On the contrary my dear princess, this now has everything to do with her." He finally made his way toward Twilight but stopped before he did anything. "All this time I didn't know, but now I see that this has everything to do with her and her power." He reached his hand out to touch her horn only to for him and Twilight to both be shocked by the touch.

Celestia's mood quickly changed from being scared to being angry at what he was trying to do. "You better stop right now." Celestia said getting his attention. "If you want power so bad then why don't you take mine instead."

Hearing all that made him laugh. "You don't understand do you. It is her power that I need." He then turned to face Celestia. "I've figured that out when all the other attempts have failed." Saying that made every pony try to figure what he meant, all except for Luna who much very well know what he means. "All those times they have all failed all because of her. Isn't that right Princess Luna?" They all turned to Luna who was right now looking suspicious. "You mean you haven't told them." They waited for her to respond but Luna didn't say anything. "Very well then I guess I'll have to show them." War Lord's eyes started glowing again and a dark dome of mist appeared around them.
