As Trixie and Nova travelled the road, Celestia's trackers were currently speeding ahead of the duo on the train to Manhattan.
After a brief stop at Crossroad, they arrived just to find three earth ponies badly hurt and passed out on the ground, after taking them to the local doctor, they only managed to get one of them to wake up and recount the events that took place.

"All right, lets do a short re-cap." The Captain said. "From what we were able to get from that drunk, we have been able to assume that it was Nova that attacked them."
"Although our witness was the first to be struck, he seemed to stay conscious long enough to see what happened to his friends, first, Nova struck him with what he described as, an invisible sword, although I doubt this is what it actually was, any ideas?" The captain asked his soldiers.

A young Female guard raised her hoof before responding.
"Sir, as a unicorn myself, I have a idea of what the attack might have been." She said, the captain nodded at her, singling for her to continue.
"In magic combat training, we are taught a simple spell that we are only to use in extreme cases, to describe it, the user created a concentrated amount of magic into a thin line and strikes the enemy with it, the spell however, is usually fatal, as its like striking someone with a sword that can cut through anything." She concluded, only to have the guard sitting next to her cut in.

"Hang on there, it doesn't entirely fit the description of the wound." The pegasus Guard said, reading over the notes the doctor provided on the victims.
"Although you got the cutting part right, it also seems that the stallion had burn marks were the wound was, not only that, but it seems it was actually this burn that closed the wound as well, keeping the stallion from bleeding." He finished correcting, the Captain thought on this for a moment, before shrugging.

"It's to hard to discern whether this was intentional or not, not only that, but the spell doesn't exactly match anything we know, lets move on for now." He said, quickly clearing his throat.
"The second victim was reported to have suffered extreme blunt force trauma to the top of his head, correct?" He asked, The Pegasus nodded.
"According to the first victim, a rather large, golden hammer suddenly appeared above his friends head, fell, and exploded onto his head, what was the extent of the damage?"

"Sir, according to the notes, not only was the victims skull was cracked, but it appears that his brain was slightly fried as well, although the doctor said that the way those stallions drink, the difference would be hard to spot." The pegasus summarised.
"However sir, the one that has me worried is the third victim, according to the witness, an explosion of light shot OUT from his friend, and he just fell over." He said, looking down to his notes.
"The notes say that the victim is lucky to be alive, most of his insides were seared and damaged, not only that, but the stallion's mind seems to be broken as well."

The captain stretched out on his seat, looking out the window of the train. "Thankfully, before the first victim passed out, he saw our target heading out the road leading to Manehatten, hence why we are here now." He concluded.

The mare raised her hoof again. "Permission to speak sir?" She asked, her captain nodding. "Why are headed to Manehatten by train anyway, wasn't our task to track Nova, rather than ambushing him?" She asked, confused on her captain's motives.

"Our objective hasn't changed, we will not be ambushing our target, rather, I have decided it would be best not to attempt to track him at this time, the area from Crossroad to Manehatten is mostly flat, grassy plains, he would see us from ages away." He began to explain.
"Instead, we will be getting ahead of our target and setting up wanted posters everywhere we can, this will hopefully prevent any more incidences and make it harder for our target to move about." He finished, the pegasus filling in the rest.

"That way, all we have to do is wait for our target to arrive, making our job easier in the long run, no one will question a small group of ponies leaving the city the same time as him." The mare nodded, finally understanding their goals.

"For now, I order you to relax and enjoy the train ride, because as soon as we arrive, we have an entire city to warn."

(Ponyville)

Twilight quietly hummed as she once again re-arranged the books in the library, her assistant Spike was busy in the kitchen washing up after breakfast.
Although it had been a few days since the incident, Twilight was starting to feel the effects of Nova's rebounded Elements of harmony ware off.
However, her fear had only increased over that time.

Each night, she would have the same recurring nightmare, it always started out simple. Twilight would wake up on her couch, hearing a strange noises outside her door, slowly getting off the couch, she made her way over to the door, and upon opening it, she found herself in an empty, lifeless field.

Trying to turn around and go back inside, she would see nothing behind her, she looked down to the ground, the grass was brown and and earth muddy.
Then the noises started again, only this time they were clear enough to hear, the sounds of metal meeting metal, yelling, screaming and the sounds of death suddenly surrounded her, yet there was nothing there to see.

Finally, Upon turning around once more, a colossal figure towered over her, entirely made up light energy, it stared at her, seeing everything Twilight was and will be, then it slowly reached for her.

Twilight snapped out of her memory, almost dropping the books she was floating, sighing, she went back to sorting her books, reminding herself to talk about this nightmare with her friends.

(Road To Manehatten)
The journey to Manehatten was long and tedious, Nova had constantly fiddled and shifted in his seat, changing positions and twiddling his thumbs, he had thought about speeding up the trip, but he was worried he might accidentally blow up the wheels if he tried.

It was then that he remember he had his Ipod in his pocket, quickly pulling the small device out, he placed one of the headphones in his ear and pressed Play.

Trixie, noticing the small device in Nova's hand, stared in curiosity as he placed the headphone in his ear, she coughed to get his attention.
"Trixie was wondering what that little thing you have is, is it a weapon of sorts?" She asked, genuinely curious.

Nova blinked, surprised by just how far behind ponies appeared to be technology wise. "This little device is called an Ipod." He started to explain.
"An Ipod is a electronic device that uses soundwaves to play music through these headphones, it can store thousands of songs, and other things."

Trixie stared at the small device, a confused look on her face. "That little thing has the ability to store Thousands of songs?" She asked, getting a nod from Nova.
"How is this possible, Trixie has never head of such a device before, and something like that would not go unnoticed by one as great as me." She said.

Nova shrugged before responding. "Trixie, You know how you never heard of a human before as well?" He said, Trixie nodding in response.
"Well that's because you will never find another human..... on this world at least." He explained.

Trixie's face did multiple things at this moment, first it was confused, then thinking, shocked, almost laughing, thinking again, then finally curious.
"So, is Trixie safe to assume you are implying you are other worldly, like in those trashy sci-fi books?" She asked, getting a chuckle from Nova.

"You see, this is why I didn't want to bother explaining stuff, its pretty unbelievable, but yes, I am." He said.
Before Trixie could get a word out, Nova reached down and placed the other headphone in her ear, the sudden music making her flinch.

"Wha- what is this? it sounds strange." she asked as her hoof started to tap to the beat.
"That, my dear Trixie, is my worlds music, however its important to note that there are many different types of music, do you have a particular genre you like to listen to?" Nova asked, Trixie thought for a second.

"Trixie doesn't suppose you have any piano music? its fitting for one as great as Trixie." She said, Nova quickly brought up his Ipod and pressed a few buttons, smiling, he found the song he was looking for and clicked play again.

The two of them quietly sat there, listening to the song, Nova closed his eyes and leaned back on the seat, relaxing as it played out, Trixie simply kept pushing the carriage down the road, a small smile on her face as the beautiful melody played out.

As the music started to end, Trixie sighed and looked towards Nova.
"Trixie is still..... unsure if you really are what you say you are, however, she cannot deny that your people make amazing music."

"You could almost say its as great as yourself?" He asked, a sly smile on his face. Trixie let out a small laugh before giving his a slight nudge with her hoof.
"Nothing is as great, or as powerful as Trixie, and don't you forget it!" She stated proudly. Nova simply smiled as the two of the continued to listen to the music.

(Canterlot)

Luna sat in the empty dinning hall, slowly eating her breakfast (and everyone else's lunch) in peace, this was until the door the door slammed open, she flinched as the loud sound caused her head to ache, she sister blushed as she walked into the room.
"Oh dear, I really mustn't take my frustration out on the poor doors." She glanced towards her sister, seeing her rather unwell state.
"Luna, are you all right? I heard you arrived late last night and retired straight to your room, did something happen at the meeting?" She asked her sister as she took a seat next to her.

Luna slowly opened her eyes, looking towards her sister, causing Celestia to gasp at the sight.
"Well, it didn't go quiet the way I had hoped, instead of having a secret meeting of the worlds most powerful figures about our enemy, Nova was privy to almost the entire thing." She explained, worrying Celestia.

"Was Nova at the meeting?" She asked her younger sister, sighing in relief when she nodded.

"Well, it wasn't there physically at least, sister, Nova has found a way to.... spy on my activities." Luna said, causing Celestia's face to pale.
"It seems that, through our constant meetings in the dream scape, Nova found a way to implant a part of his self into my magic, or at least that's how I think he did it." She said.
"Thankfully, he is only able to track me while he sleeps, but since the meeting took place at night...." Luna trailed off, causing Celestia to sigh.

"All right, but that doesn't explain why you look like someone just hit you over the head with a train." Celestia said, causing Luna to laugh awkwardly.

"Yes well, about that, you see, after using me to spy on the meeting, I felt rather humiliated and rather angry, so, as soon as I arrive home, I may have tried to fight him.... in his dream." She nervously explained, Celestia's face slowly meet the table.
"Suffice to say, it was quite the painful experience." Celestia's face lifted up slightly and hit the table again, before sighing.

"Well, at least it seems you took the proper steps to assure you weren't to badly hurt, no wonder the Moon was so...... eccentric in its decent." Celestia said, brightening the mood.
"Well, as long as you are okay, thats all that matters, and thankfully things are finally calming down around the city, so we might finally have time to start our efforts on finding out what happened to the elements, and hopefully, getting rid of Nova's power from yours." She said as a servant brought out her meal, quickly thanking him.

"Indeed sister, I will be eager to start as soon as possible, the thought of that miscreant watching me is disturbing, who knows what evil things he could do with it.

(Meanwhile, with Nova.)
"Ooh Eeh Ooh Ah Aah Ting Tang Walla Walla Bing Bang!" Nova sang terribly out of tune as he danced on the roof, Trixie trying to hold her laughter back, and failing terribly.

Author's Note

Time for an explanation! YAY
Divine Power: A mysterious power that only the most powerful immortal's may use, this power can be used in multiple ways, it can be shapped into different powers, allowing the user to use any type of magic, or it itself can be used as a form of attack or to greatly strengthen the user in different ways.

Although Divine power does have its draw backs, because no mortal body or mind can safely use this power to its full extent, since the power belongs to the gods and other such creatures.

Another is that using too much of this power can slowly whittle away ones body, replacing the lost part with the users power, once replaced, the user can never return it to normal.

Also, as an update: with the map I provided a few chapters ago, it ins't completely accurate. The Map
First, the griffons kingdoms more the the right, and completely move Manehatten the the right side of Equestria, I like to think its connected to the ocean.
Everything past the Mild West belongs to the Diamond dogs and Minotaurs, the Soarched lands and Boarean tundra is were the dragons would reside, exept they are one giant continent on there own, and further away from Equestria.
Also the map doesnt list the crystal empire, which fills the area between the mild west, Equestra, and The griffon kingdoms.
Also note that I have yet to decide if I will be adding other races yet, so feel free to assume that the entire eastern Kingdom in the far right corner is a thing, but its currently unmentioned in the story so far.
