Fallen From The Stars

Fallen From The Stars

Chapter 3: New Friends

As Grievous began to fall to the forest below, he glided to the cliff's wall. When Grievous was close enough, he dug his claws into the cliff wall. He then came to a stop and looked over to the train and watched as it descended into the deep green forest below. As soon as the train hit the ground, the cliff began to rumble. Rocks and boulders started to fall over the cliff. Even a tree fell over the side of the cliff and nearly took Grievous down with it. As soon as rocks stopped falling, he began to clime the cliff side like a spider. He stabbed his claws in the cliff and pulled himself up again and again.

When he got to the top, he took a deep breath. Grievous inhaled the beautiful taste of fresh air. He looked over the landscape and saw the castle that he had just escaped from. He saw a few towns and lot's of different things. But then something cote his eye. He saw a very old-looking castle. It look like it was abandoned. It also looked like it was in ruins. He then decided that this is where he would go. He took a deep breath of air and then began to clime down to the forest below.

When Grievous made it to the bottom of the cliff, he ventured in to the forest. About 15 minutes after entering the unknown forest, he began to have the feeling that something is stalking him. He tuned around and saw some greenish yellow glowing eyes staring at him. Before he could do anything, a four legged, wooden like, wolf, pounced on Grievous. He instantly through the Wolf off of him and before the wolf got back up, he stabbed it in the chest. The wolf cried and howled as Grievous's lightsaber dug into its chest, then it's greenish yellow glowing eyes faded out to black.

Then three more wolves joined the attack. He grabbed his other lightsaber. The three wolves were circling around him as the Wolves snarled at Grievous. He was not intimidated by them. In fact, he wasn't intimidated by almost anything. Then they all pounced on him at once. Grievous then did a quick spin, pointing his two lightsabers at the Wolves. The two lightsabers cut the wood like wolfs in half. They fell to the ground and laid there with their neon green blood on fire. There blood lit like gasoline, their bodies engulfed in flames. The flames exploding from the inside out of the wood like wolves. He then left the dead burning bodies and made his way to the castle.

After an half hour, he finely made it to the castle. All that stood in his way was an very unstable bridge going across a cavern. He stepped on the first plank and it almost instantly broke into two. He stepped back and thought of how to get across. Then he came up with an idea. He took about five steps back and ran. When he was at the edge of the ravine, he jumped up into the air and landed on the other side.

He opened the old door and walked in. As he ventured though the castle, he found a library. The library was very huge and old and dusty looking. He then began to hear voices in one of the rooms on the second level of the library. He made his way up the stairs. The stairs made creaking sounds when he stepped on them. When he was at the top, he found a door. The voices where coming from behind the door.

"It's you're turn." whoever it was behind the door said. It most defiantly a male voice.

"Can we stop playing games and get back to the plans!" this one was female.

"Oh, I see... I guess you are not happy that you are back from the grave then.  I guess I'll just put you back." he said with a chuckle at the end.

"NO! We need to find out WHERE that thing came from. That thing came though a portal that had enough magic to level-down Canterlot and more! If we find where that amount of magic came from, we would be able to destroy anything that got in our way." she exclaimed. Grievous opened the door and spoke.

"I think I would like to know too." Grievous saw a creature with all types of animal parts. He was sitting in a floating chair. On the other side of the long, old wood table, there was a pony with a horn and wings. This pony was as big as Celestia, but her coat was as black as night and had a flowing main that looked like the night stars. They were playing some sort of card game. They looked shocked for a moment, until the creature spoke.

"Well, well, well, I haven't seen you before?" the creature had gotten off of his chair and with a snap of his fingers, the chair disappeared in a little poof of smoke. The creature walked up to Grievous and was looking at him like he was examining him. Grievous was looking at him the same way. Then the black pony spoke up.

"How DARE you interrupt us! HOW MUCH did you hear!" she slammed her front hoofs on the table. She was going to say something else, but was interrupted by the creature.

"Now, now Nightmare, we have a guest here and we have to be nice to our guests." he said with an almost evil and insane smile on his weird face.

"Now, who are you?" there was silence in the room. Grievous broke the silence and said.

"I am General Grievous, commander of the droid army and leader of the Sepratists."

"Well, I'm Discord, lord of chaos and disharmony! And this is my friend, Nightmare Moon." Grievous looked over to Nightmare Moon and said to her.

"I am the thing you have been talking about. *Coughing* I would like to find out where the source of this magic came from that got me here in the first place. *Coughing*" General Grievous was coughing very loudly now. Nightmare Moon gasped that this General Grievous was indeed the thing she was talking about and was right in front of her. Before Nightmare Moon could speak, Discord said.

"Need a tissue?" Discord said this most obnoxiously with a stupid smile. Grievous just stared at him. His eyes were perusing into Discord's soul.

"I'll take that as a no." Discord kept his obnoxious voice, but Discord's best poker face couldn't stop Grievous from seeing the fear in his eyes.

"So you’re the thing that landed in Canterlot?" Nightmare Moon asked, still a little shocked.

"Yes."

"Then do tell me how you got out of Canterlot and ended up here."

"The long version or the short version? *Coughing*"

"The more detail the better." she replied.

" *Coughing* Well when I landed, I awoke and opened up the pod's hatch and got out. I saw the two Princesses."

"What! YOU talked to Princes Celestia and Princes Luna!" burst out Nightmare Moon.

"Yes. *Coughing* And now LET me continue." the black pony shut her mouth and got relaxed in her chair. Discord snapped his finger and his chair appeared. He sat in it sideways and was drinking chocolate milk. Grievous talked about his conversation with Princesses. Nightmare Moon seemed to hate the Princesses. She paid most attention to ever word he had to say.

But Discord on the other hand, was doing the opposite. He did all kinds of things that annoyed Grievous, like playing with his tail, making comments on what he was talking about, and he even drinking the glass instead of the chocolate milk. But what got General Grievous ticked-off was that Discord tried to tell the story of how he got turned into stone by the Princesses. But as soon as he mentioned the six ponies that tried to attack him. Discord stopped what he was doing and Nightmare Moon paid all of her attention on him.

"You really faced the Elements of Harmony!?" asked Discord most surprised.

"Yes and when they began to fire their pathetic rainbow I *Coughing* cut though it like nothing was there."  both Nightmare Moon and Discord gasped.

"Y-y-you defeated the E-Elements of H-H-Harmony!" said Nightmare Moon wide-eyed with her jaw dropped and was now total shock. Discord began to back away in his levitating chair, staring at Grievous to see anything that said to a lie. He found nothing in his snake like yellow eyes.

"Did you kill any of them?" asked Discord.

"No. But I almost did kill one of them. But I got kicked in the head and blacked out before I killed it." Grievous continued to tell them how he got out of Canterlot and how he killed 12 royal guards under a minute. He told them how the train fell and how he killed the Timber Wolfs with his lightsabers. And then told them how he got here. After he finished, Nightmare Moon asked.

"You killed 12 royal guards under a minute? I'm impressed."

"But I am not; those guards are nothing, but a bug under my foot."

"Do you think it is safe to say, Nightmare Moon?" asked Discord.

"I think it's safe to say." replied Nightmare Moon.

"What are you talking about?" asked Grievous.

"We have been looking for an alliance with somepony that is most powerful as us. And you my friend fit the bill." said Discord.

"Welcome to the club!" said Discord.
