Land of the Fogotten, Cry of the Moon Princess

Being Captain of the Royal Gaurd, and Prince of the Crystal Empire, Shining Armor wondered how he got here; suspended in air by magic chains in the middle of the hall of the Throne Room, being forced to watch his wife get abused and violated by this monster. There must be something he could do to get out of this. His magic didn't work either because the chains were sucking the magic out of him. Luckily, he knew that his wife was alive... As well as Celestia, but soon this monster, Spiritus he heard the shadow-lings say before, would know as well, for a doppleganger to last the few days it has is quite impressive, goes to show why she is ruler of the land, but not even Celestia herself could sustain a doppleganger for much longer... This "Spiritus" just won't leave!

"Reihmhad! Come forth to your master!" Spiritus had been sitting in the center throne for quite some time, pondering something. Shortly after he called, Shining Armor had watched the shadow of the blue skinned, antlered creature begin to rise out of the ground. When it finally came, it too a good look around and laid down as if it had a mind of it's own, where as the other shadow creatures seemed to have no will, and did only presicely what he asked and nothing more or less. "I've sent an army of the shadowlings of yours to another gate to have it destroyed, but not before those ponies use it again... I have one concern though..."

"Whhhaaat, pressssssicccely, issss your... conccccern...?" The shadow spoke with a hissing, spitting sound that sounded more like a mix between a snake and a cat. Spiritus had looked Reihmhad in the eyes for a short while, staring, pondering, planning. Then without warning, he ran his shadow through with his antlers. Upon breaking the ground where his shadow was, he looked quickly at Reihmhad to see any kind of reaction, and there was to his concern. Reihmhad had a large gaping hole in his chest where Spiritus had stabbed his shadow. Reihmhad looked down at the hole and looked back to Spiritus blankly before collapsing to the ground.

"Huh. That's a stupid weakness to have, am I right, Mr. High-and-Mighty-Prince?" Spiritus walked up to Shining Armor, and all though he was being held a good many meters off the ground, his face was level with the creatures smooth, perfect face. No, not perfect... Was that a scar? Shining Armor was looking directly between the monsters antlers, and through them, saw Princess Celestia's doppleganger disappear, along with his wife. "Surprised I actually have a scar, young prince? It's from a creature I fought with, one whose name was... Oh what was it again? Oh, yes... this scar was from a dragon. He went to the right and went into his bag, grabbing out a parchment and unrolling it for Shining Armor to see.

"What in the name of Celestia!? I've never seen a dragon like THAT!" Shining Armor was now terrified of this Spiritus creature, no, monster.

"I have another one on my back from a Wendigo. One from very long ago, that I don't like showing any other living creature. I was maybe only one thousand years old?" He spoke as he turned to show Shining Armor the enormous gash across his back, takin up most of it. "I'm showing you because you will be dead before long, those chains not only drain your magic but your life force as well." Spiritus only after saying this took his eyes off of the captured prince and looked foreward to where Celestia and Cadence should have been, and where they weren't. "WHERE ARE THEY!?" He whirled back around and was, once again, face to face with Shining Armor, this time with an intensity that made Shining Armor start to shake in fear. Then he started to laugh. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY!? "

"Those were just dopplegangers... You never killed Celestia or even touched my wife." Shining Armor was glad to be able to say this. Spiritus lowered his head and a small ball of energy started to appear in-between his antlers. The ball grew bigger and bigger, creating this increddible, intimidating pressure.

"You... will... TELL ME!" A translucent wall of pressure and dark blue magic appeared around him, making him look like a slightly distorted shadow, eyes glowing a deep green. The magic and it's pressure were so intense the entire castle started to shake, parts of the ceiling falling all around them, then floating like magnets being pushed apart. The ball between his antlers had grown so large, it took up most of the space between his head and the ceiling, then all at once disappeared; all of the pressure and magic leaving for only a moment. Then a beam of magic shot straight upwards through the ceiling, causing even more intense pressure than before as quick as it had left, and Shining Armor could only stare in utter shock and horror as it felt like he was being crushed by a boulder in every fraction of his being. This monster really could take on Celestia... And win... Not even Tyric was this powerfull. He even went toe to toe with Twilight when she held the magic of all Alicorns in all of Equestria, the power of Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and herself. Tyric was by far more powerfull then anything they had ever encountered, and this monster, Spiritus, made Tyric look like a child's toy! Spiritus let out a feral scream, wriled with anger, and as the beam grew thinner his scream quieted and ceased to exest all together, his breathing deap and heavy.

"You would kill me even if I told you!" Shining Armor was amazed by the steadiness of his own voice, and the calmity of his breathing when he was almost possitive he was going to die.

"Perhaps, but I don't think you realize what it is I have in my posession..." Spiritus turned from Shining Armor and created a hole in the ground, and from this hole came first Pinkie Pie, then Rarity, and lastly Apple Jack. The three of them bound and gagged, being lifted by his magic.

"Don't touch them!" Shining Armor had a thing for Apple Jack a while back, before he was married when he had come to ponyvile on official bussines, and stayed out of sight from Twilight. Apple Jack didn't recognize him though, he'd used a spell to change his appearance and used an allias and ended up having a one-night-stand with her, but he still cared for her and knew that Twilight did too.

"You gonna do something about it?" Spiritus taunted. "Tell me where your precious little wife and Princess are, and I'll let them go."

"Let me down and regain my stregth and we'll see if I'm worthy of being Captain of the Royal Gaurd." Shining Armor had openly challenged him, knowing full well he would lose. On the other hoof though, he knew if he was let down now, he still had enough magic to teleport those three to the edge of the Everfree Forest without their bonds.

"Do you really think, even for a moment, that you could challenge me and escape with your life?" Spiritus had clearly accepted. "Let's see what it is you're made of, 'Captain of the Royal Gaurd'." Spiritus was absolutely sure he could win against such a minor pony as Shining Armor, and slowly the chains holding him up disappeared, lowering him to the ground.

"I will do everything I can for my Princess and for my wife..." Shining Armor's brow furrowed as he readied the spell, he would have to act fast... The second Spiritus took his eyes off of Shining Armor he would act. "And for my friends, and Twilight's as well... the ones I would die for to save!" There it was, as Shining Armor said this Spiritus was turning away from him.

"What do you think you're doing? Tch, idiotic Prince." Spiritus had closed his eyes with his back turned ready to take any blow Shining Armor could throw. After a moment, he opened his eyes, and saw a ball of light hurl past him and hit the three ponies he just brought up, and watched them disappear. "WHAAAT!?" He didn't realize before, but now did, that the spell Shining Armor cast was to teleport them away from Canterlot. He had been made a fool of by such an insignificant pony. "You will pay for that every second that you are alive! What little time you have left will be spent in AGONY!" He whirled around back to face his new favorite torture project, and right there, stabbed him with one single point of his antler under one leg at the joint, forcing it to dislocate and Shining Armor let out a scream that he didn't think he had enough energy for.

"Let's hurry! Spike, are we being followed?" Twilight had tried looking behind her, but couldn't quite see and did NOT want to stop to look, because that would be just waisted precious time.

"Affirmative, Captain Twilight!" Spike said somewhat sarcastically. "They are right at your eight O' Clock, closing in fast!" With this, Twilight turned around for only a moment and shot a blast, taking out the two that were on their tail. "Three more, one at six, one at four, and one at... umm... Upwards!" Twilight had shot a blast straight up, and heard a thud an the ground shortly after. they had to stay flying low still, to not be seen by the Castle. Luna had taken the other two down with one dark, nigt blue laser of magic, cutting right through both of them, leaving them falling with the bodies cut in half and gushing what looked like actual guts meaning they were real ponies, not shadow-lings. the next bunch came from in front, and these were deffinately Shadow-lings, and both Twilight and Luna shot them at the same time, each one falling in pieces or looking mangled and riddled with holes. The shadow-lings really did have guts just like the ponies.

"Wait, what's that!?" Luna had noticed a flash of purple-ish pink and three ponies appeared, looking very confused. One was white with a purple main, one and orange-ish color with freckles and a cowbow hat, and one obscenely pink one with a very messy main. "Twilight, Aren't those some of the friends we were saving?" Twilight looked down to where Luna pointed and saw three familliar faces.

"What in Equestria is going on!? We still need to save my brother, Cadence, Discord and Celestia! Let's keep going, we'll get them on the way back. Spike, stay with them and make sure they're safe. Take them to Rainbow and the others to help!" Twilight would not let her brother be forced to watch such horrid things as somepony else forcing themselves on Cadence. She had even gotten stronger since the fight with Tyric, she could probably take him on alone without the other three alicorn's magic. And with Luna beside her, and Cadence going to be freed and get her spirit to fight back, she was confident they could beat this monster.

"Roger!" Spike dipped to the left and went to go take the three to the rest of their group and join in the fight there.

"We will be going over Ponyvile soon, would you like to rest a minute?" Luna offered because she saw Twilight breaking a sweat.

"I'm fine... this is just because I don't fly often enough..." Twilight would rather get there faster... What's faster than flying though? OH! Of course! She could just teleport there, and save sooo much time! "Luna, lets stop a sec in Ponyvile actually." As they both stopped, Twilight had devised a plan with Luna to teleport right into the hall and face off with the creature directly as Luna freed Shining Armor and Twilight would get Cadence after those two were gone. She had more than enough magic after being fully rested, and especially after a night like that with Luna.

"If you wish, I could take on the creature while you rescue both Cadence and your brother." Luna wanted to get revenge for her sister, and also hoped to lose the battle with him, becoming his slave as punishment.

"No. Absolutely not." Twilight put a hoof on her shoulder

"Twilight, I am still your superior, and you will do as-" Luna's voice was cut off by Twilight's tounge appearing in her mouth, and she quietly complied with Twilight, not bringing it up agan. "So... I get Shining Armor, and you will get Cadence?" Luna wiped her mouth and blushed a little, she wasn't prepared to be kissed so suddenly and ended up drooling a little because of it.

"Yes. That iiiiss the plan. We will go whenever you're ready, Luna." Twilight had leaned in, slowly this time, and started kissing Luna once again.

"Alright then." Luna kissed Twilight one last time, then her face was intense, and serious as she stood up-right and looked down to Twilight.

"Then let's go." With a small bit of effort to teleport that far, Twilight and Luna appeared right behind Shining Armor, because when he was let down, he crawled a little foreward so their aim was a little off, and teleporting from Ponyvile to the Castle, it's gaurenteed they will be off mark by at least a little bit. As they appeared and got a look at their surroundings, they saw the monster take a needle and shove it in the end of Prince Shining Armor, Captain of the Royal Gaurd's penis and they both shuttered as he yelled in pain, mostly because the needle was also super heated and red when it was being put in.

"You let the Prince of the Crystal Empire, Captain of Celestia's Royal Gaurd, go!" Luna stepped foreward and looked directly at the creature.

"More of this teleporting crap!? Where the hell did you come from!?" Spiritus looked up from his work on Shining Armor and threw him to the side, the needle slowly pushing itself further into his shaft, his screaming getting louder.

"You did this to my brother... You killed my mentor, friend and ruler Celestia, raped my sister in law Cadence, and locked my friends in dungeons, one of them in Tartarus! I will NEVER forgive you! I will show you no mercy! I will kill you!" Twilight shouted as she slowly walked towards him, a ball of magic on the end of her horn, it slowly growing larger and larger, creating a similar pressure to when Spiritus did this. The only difference was, this wasn't wild, uncontrolled magic, it was calm, and deadly. A wall of pressure and magic appeared around Spiritus once again as he focused his magic energy into one point. Twilight stopped and cocked her head to one side. This creature was more powerful than her, but not by much, and she could out-smart anypony in battle thanks to her quick wit and extensive knowledge. A similar wall of pressure and magic appeared around her, purple, distorting her and making her eyes look a beautiful silver, the two colors complimenting eachother perfectly. The entire battle of these two enormously powerful monster-like beings depended on who made the first move, and they both knew this quite well, but Twilight had something up her sleeve that Spiritus didn't; A very nice torture spell, and an even better death spell that she discovered in the ancient Castle of the Two Sisters in the Everfree Forest.
