The First night (of Equestria)

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Princess Celestia had been thinking about how her encounter with the creature would go, she was thinking of all the outcomes possible as she was riding her carriage. She wondered how powerful the creature could be, Luna may not have been as powerful as her, but she was still a force to be reckoned with. While she was lost in thought she felt a small pull, her internal clock went off, time to lower the sun. "Steel bone, Light flight, can you please steady the carriage so I may lower the sun?"

"Yes Princess," Steel bone said making his flight as smooth as possible.

Celestia began to lower the sun, to her surprise it took less power than normal to lower it, how odd.

Once she was done she looked back at her transport guard, " You may go at full speed once more, and thank you."

" It is an honor princess," Light flight said, smiling and resuming full speed.

With the night slowly covering the small town in it's cool, calm air, the Princess flew off her carriage and landed quietly as she could, she wanted the town to sleep, Celestia began to walk towards the library, time to wake her sister.

Instead of having to wake Spike Celestia teleported up to Twilight's room, where she knew Luna was sleeping. "Wake up sleepyhead," She said with a motherly tone.

Luna shot awake and jumped up at lighting speed, " WHERE IS IT," Luna raged, "WHERE IS THE MONSTER!"

"Calm yourself sister the monster is not near here," Celestia said calming her raging sister, which did very little.

" Where hath it gone then?" Luna asked looking at her sister for answers, " Did thou search for it yet?"

"No but I plan to now, if you will help of course," Celestia teleported away.

"Off to hunt we go," Luna grumbled, teleporting away.

===================================================

Having set up house, Marcus and Pinkie both touched the bed,   SpawnPoint set.    they would sleep later, but for now they had to defend the town from danger. As If on Cue a message appeared on the bottom of the screen.

You feel an evil presence watching you.

"This may be a bad night," Marcus said reading the message, Pinkie looked at him curiously and began to ask.

"But isn't he the easiest boss to beat?" Pinkie pulled out her Mini shark and loaded it.

"Keep in mind that we are in a land that has most likely not seen a monster this evil, yet," Marcus said the last part grudgingly.

" So what do we do?" Pinkie asked, letting the Mini shark down a little.

"Well we don't want to cause too much damage to the city, so I say we face it in the forest," Marcus suggested.

"Ok that makes sense, but what about the town?" Pinkie asked, worried that the town would be overrun, " The monsters would be all over the town."

"Good point,hmm," Marcus thought about it for a second, " How about I take on the eye alone and you protect the town?"

" Nice plan! Ready to go?" Pinkie bounced toward the door.

"Sure just be careful, I don't know if the spawning really works here," Marcus warned, yes it said spawn point set, but this wasn't his world, he had to be careful.

"Okie Dokie lo-," Pinkie stopped bouncing, " That was odd, never said that before."

"Hmm," Marcus stopped, "Well I guess that's a new catch phrase."

"Yeah," Pinkie ran out the door and headed to Ponyville, Marcus ran deeper into the forest, ready to fight, neither them saw a yellow pegasus slip into their house.

============================================

Queen of the Changelings, Chrysalis loved the way that sounded, always did, but she knew hard times were ahead, her children were slowly and quietly draining the love out of nearby towns, all to rebuild the hive. After her failed invasion the wave of magic that had sent her people flying managed to reach the hive, and it destroyed much of her beloved home, especially the nursery. She then had to explain to the high nobles that she had failed, and that did not end pretty.

"My Queen!" A little voice came, getting Chrysalis's attention.

"Ferum my little pupa, come to mommy," Chrysalis cooed as she watched her little filly jump onto her bed and lay next to her.

"How are you feeling dear," Chrysalis asked, knowing that love was not common around her home area.

"Kinda hungry mommy," The filly looked up at her mom expectantly.

"Here you are baby," Chrysalis lowered her head and let her daughter suck out as much love as she wanted, ever since Ferum was born, Chrysalis found that she herself was producing endless love, and she used this new found gift to make sure her little pupa never starved.

"Thanks mommy," Ferum said finishing her meal, she then smiled, "You have the best love mommy."

"Only cause I love you so much dear," Chrysalis said smiling. Suddenly there was an overwhelming feeling of pure fury and malice, Chrysalis nearly collapsed from the amount of anger there was, her filly passed out, Chrysalis attempted to stand and find out what was causing this, but she began to feel dizzy and sat down.

Before the Queen of the Changelings passed out she saw what she thought was an enormous eyeball pass her tower before heading toward the Kingdom of Equestria, good she would be happy to see whatever that was rip her enemy to pieces, then she was lost in her unconscious mind, dreaming of revenge, and her daughter.

=================================================

Pinkie skipped into town, she was ready for the monsters, as soon as she stepped into the boundaries of the town she saw a tall dark pony land in front of her, with an evil grin on her face, "So who be you? The monsters assistant? YOU WILL FACE OUR WRATH CREATURE!" Luna began to charge her horn when Pinkie interrupted her.

"HEY you must be that princess that Marcus was talking about!" Pinkie walked up and booped the Lunar Princess on the nose, "BOOP!"

Luna stopped and looked at the bouncy pink girl, she didn't know how to react to this, and it stirred up memories, " What hath.... um we.....," she couldn't form a proper sentence, she was lost in the lovely memories that brought, then she spoke calmly, " You remind us of the pink one."

"Pink one? Oh the pony Pinkie Pie?" Pinkie asked, "Yeah I wanted to meet her but you will do. Hi I'm Pinkie, whats your name?"

Luna, obviously still shocked, spoke, " Tis a lie, thou cannot posses the name Pinkie, it belongs to the young pony Pinkie Pie. What is thy real name monster? TELL ME!"

" Jeez calm down, who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?" Pinkie did not like talking to this meanie.

"LIES WE HAD HONEY OATS CEREAL!!!" Luna roared, she hated cornflakes.

"Ok Ok calm yourself, I was only messing with you," Pinkie turned to leave, she had a town to protect. Her effort to leave was stopped, she was floating back to the Princess, "Wha? Hey let me down, I got people to protect!" Suddenly the aura used to hold her froze.

Luna had locked the aura, didn't want this creature to get away, "Thou have done nothing but lie, WE WILL END YOU!" Luna began to suck the air out of the magic barrier.

Pinkie began to feel light headed, not only was she stuck but she felt the air begin to leave, "P-please do...n't," she was suffocating and her health began to decline slowly, she noticed a larger white pony, who she assumed was also a princess, land next to the big blue meanie.

"LUNA STOP THIS YOU ARE KILLNG IT," Celestia yelled, she knew that was not what her sister usually did, "STOP LUNA!"

"NO IT MUST PAY FOR LYING TO US, IT MUST DIE!" Luna Yelled in her royal voice, her eyes glowing.

As the air was nearly depleted Pinkie panicked, she pulled out a handgun she was given and began to fight the aura, she was actually moving.

"Not Possible, how can it do that," Luna gasped, watching the thing actually move it's arm upward.

Pinkie pulled harder and managed to raise her arm faster, she pulled the trigger. The bullet ripped through the aura and before the Princess of the night knew what happened the bullet went clear through her leg and hit the ground, Luna Yelped in pain and fell over, bleeding. The aura disappeared and Pinkie dropped to the ground, choking as the air flooded back into her lungs, she lay there and collected her scattered thoughts.

"What did y-you do to us?" Luna cried weakly, " W-we hath never felt pain like t-this before." Luna continued to lay on the ground and cry, cradling her injured leg.

Pinkie sat up, she was breathing heavy, but she was breathing, " I'm so sorry, I panicked and reacted, I didn't mean to hurt anyone, or pony."

"You were acting out of fear, an instinct to survive, but no permanent damage was done," Celestia said, casting a healing spell on her sisters injured leg, truthfully Luna would walk with a slight limp her whole life, the bullet had hit her joint and shattered her whole joint area.

"I'm still so sorry, I should have known better," Pinkie was letting the fact that she hurt someone (or pony) get to her.

"We will forgive you, if you explain to us what you are doing here," Luna said, not wanting to watch as her injury heal up, she found that not watching it made her feel better.

"Ok, I guess," Pinkie got ready to explain, then she began.

===================================================

Marcus was walking through the forest, cutting down whatever monster dared to challenge him, they were all the first monsters, the easiest of creatures to kill, and the first nightmares he had ever encountered. He found himself thinking of Pinkie, was she safe? and he never let her escape his mind, but he did not want to admit what he knew was true.

"Where are you big boy?" Marcus quietly asked, waiting for the signal to go up, and there it was.

The Eye of Chtulu has awoken.

Finally, he could put this thing back in it's place, the eye floated over him, right into view.

The fight began.
