Terrarian

Cortez stepped out of bed. The clock showed it was still night. He walked towards the deck that protruded out of the wall of his house. The night was beautiful, but something seemed different. As Cortez swung his head up to look at the moon, it had a shadow cast over it, in the shape of a circle.

His eyes widened, he had only seen that once before, he whirled around to see words engraved into the wall,"THE NIGHTMARE IS COMING SOON!!!" He jumped towards his armour stand, but received a throwing knife to the back. He fell to his knees as one word rang in his ears,"Soon!" Cortez collapsed onto his front the word still ringing in his mind,'soon, soon, soon, soon." Getting slower and softer and softer as he lay on the ground, bleeding.

Cortez awoke, and looked over at the wall, there was nothing engraved upon it,'It was only a dream.' He thought to himself. It was midday, as he got up he felt pain everywhere, he fell back onto the bed,'Guess the healing potion wasn't perfect.'

He reached for another and drank it. The pain subsided almost instantly,'guess I should get my armour to .goblin' he thought as he stepped over to his closet. He flicked the lever to the side of the large door and with a soft creaking noise it swung open.

His closet had close to a hundred mannequins, all holding a suit of armour or set of vanity items. He grabbed a set of spectre armour, as well as goast wings. He put the robes on and soon felt the magic flowing through him,

'I wonder, if I had used that staff with more power, what would have happened?' Deciding it wasn't the best idea, because last time it had teleported him across the galaxy, and he could have landed somewhere without air!

'Just use this armour until my shroomite armour is fixed, then switch back it shouldn't take Sarx to lo to repair.'

He hauled the damaged armour to the forge. He could feel the heat penetrating his skin before he entered.

"Oh hello, I heard about last night, are your alright?" The goblin asked in his odd voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine, but my armour can't take healing potions like I can."

"Oh my, it does look damaged, I should have it repaired in a few days."

Cortez left the heat of the workshop, and flew to Ponyville.

"Have you got so thing good to tell me?" The now queen of the changelings asked.

"Well, I have repaired it so far, but it is no where near ready for usage." The changeling bowed low.

"Show me."

The changeling pushed several levers on the wall, and then connected a few wires, then pushed one final button. The gun began to spin, flashing sparks as it did,"something was found during what happened recently in Ponyville, one of our spies found it." The scientist yelled over the noise of the chain gun.

Three blasts of green were launched our of the barrel of the gun, each hitting the rock in different places. When they collided with it they smashed apart, leaving green flames. A shard of one of the bullets struck a nearby changeling, who immediately screamed as they were consumed by the flames consuming him.

"Impressive, but three shots is not going to help us rule equestria, I need thousands." The queen spoke slowly.

"Yes my queen." Queen Insectum left the room with the other changeling still burning on the ground.

As Cortez zoomed across the dark Forrest, he saw something flying. A dark beam was headed straight towards him, so he jumpted out of the way and saw it hit the ground. Another one struck him and he fell to the ground. Looking up he saw it was a corrupter,"Aguamenti!" The water bolt spell sent bolts of water above him, destroying the corrupter. The spectre armour's life stealing ability healed him within seconds.

Quickly he ran back to buy some purification powder from the dryad, and after he had he ran back to the place that had been corrupted. When he arrived there it had spread, but not enough to be out of control.

As he arrived at Ponyville, he bumped into the Cutie mark crusaders,"Hi."

"Are you the same guy who took down the entire changling army?"

"Yeah..."

"How did you do it?"

"Are you able to stop a force like discord?

"Why is your armour different?"

"Slow down, I did stop discord and its different because my normal armour is kind of broken."

"Can you do magic? Sweetie belle asked.

"Everto falx!" A glinting purple ring formed between Cortez's hands, and slowly sped it's spinning,"verus!" With that word the ring launched itself from his hands. Applebloom ducked although it would not have hit her anyways. It spun faster and faster until it hit the side of a cart. The Demon scythe shattered upon impact, and there was no effect upon the cart.

"Wow! What kind of magic was that, I don't think even Twilight can do that!" Sweetibelle exclaimed.

"Well I already know you can fly, so I'm not even going to ask that." Scootaloo said.

"What other magic can you do?" Sweetibelle asked, interested.

"Rutillus pluo!" A golden arch shot out of Cortez's hands, striking the ground creating golden sparks where it landed.

"You need to teach us how to do those things!"

All three of them yelled,"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS MAGES, YAY!"

"Nope!" Cortez sped away from them.

"Paperwork paperwork, is that all there is to being a princess?" The lunar princess lamented.

"No sister, although it may seem that way these days, there is more to it than that."

"Princess, something urgent has come up!"

"What is it?"

"'It' has returned!"
