Chapter-17 The heat of battle[Un-Edited]
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs Celestia finished sealing the guards and Night in her magic barrier all of the ponies began to shove for the barrier not caring for their fellow guards. The unicorns began using what ever spells they knew in an attempt to break free from the barrier. A few even attempted to teleport out but Celestia had put an enchantment that would instantly teleport anyone who tries to escape in such a way back inside the half sphere. In a moment of desperation a few earth ponies had attempted to dig their ways beneath the barrier but they couldn't do it fast enough as the constant shoving would relocate them every few seconds and they would have to begin again from noting.
It truly was madness and as Celestia observed her ponies she couldn't help but wonder if she had made a huge mistake. What if her ponies got hurt or if the unicorns decided to use their magic on Night? Her barrier wouldn't allow her interfere for at least 5 minutes after the fact as she had put on enchantment upon enchantment to make sure that there was no way other den digging underneath it and even then you would need to dig for a mile downwards before attempting to go under the barrier or it would simply stretch in a straight line to wherever there was an absence of solid matter. And so Celestia Began undoing her barrier hopping that her subjects wouldn't hurt themselves or Night in their state of panic.{Why are enchantments so hard to dispel when they are so easy to cast?}-Celestia asked as she did this.
As Night observed the horrified ponies all around him, monkey wrench in his right hand he thought that he could let them tire themselves and then it would be an easy victory. He was forced to abandon such thoughts when he saw a pony being pushed to the ground and barely avoiding being trampled. Even if he didn't do the actual hurting he doubted that any of the two princesses would show mercy if any of these ponies were killed in this panic. It was him after all who asked that they be prevented from escaping. He had to act fast and subdue them before something bad happened and he was either imprisoned and chained or straight up killed.
Once Night had come to this conclusion he began walking towards the pony that had fallen.
As soon as he had taken the first step a volley of spears flew straight at him from the direction he was heading. They weren't well aimed or even had any real force put behind them. As the first spears were being thrown Night quickly turned and ran to his left stepping only on his fingers. It was a simple technique that increased his running speed while sacrificing control and stamina. Whille doing this he used the back of the wrench to send any spear headed for him off course and slamming into the spears that were aimed at where he was.
While this prevented him from getting hurt he didn't know how long he could keep it up. Ever since that night a few days ago he had noticed that his muscles had reverted to what they were many years ago, but it wasn't just his muscles as the scars of his punishments and training had all disappeared as well. He was remedied of his worries and forced to focus on the situation at hand as a spear flew straight at his left arm. He barely managed to shift his weight so that he would avoid being hit and as the spear passed him he grabbed it and slammed its head into the ground using the steady point to turn left again while continuing to run. Losing momentum would cause him to be hurt. The spears might not have been aimed but their sheer numbers more then made up for that fact. As he turned he yanked the spear he was holding off the ground he would need it again for turning once he got face to muzzle with a pony. Night repeated the process of turning 3 more times all the while deflecting any spears with the monkey wrench or the spear in his left hand depending on which would require less effort. Night then stopped and looked at the ponies as they were now cowering on the ground realizing what a foolish idea it was to throw away their only defence. Some were crying and some had straight past out of fear.
With this sight around him Night spoke in a booming commanding voice.
"All of you without weapons if you wish to surrender gather the guards who still have them and bring them within the square of spears."-As he finished saying this Night stabbed the spear he was holding to snap them into action. Instantly the ponies began moving. They had a chance to survive. Sure it wouldn't be pleasant to watch their fellow guards fight this monster but they had weapons perhaps they could escape by loosing only a hoof or two while the unarmed ponies would surely die.
The unarmed ponies were outnumbering the armed once roughly 9 to 1and it wasn't long before 13 ponies were thrown into almost full square of spears. Once the unarmed ponies had done as they were told they stepped away and waited laying on their belles and shivering in fear. The 13 ponies were all carrying swords most likely the reason they still had their weapon.
At this point Celestia had stopped trying to undo her spell after seeing that most of her ponies were now standing still. She was glad since they wouldn't hurt themselves but it might take a long time for them to sleep soundly at night it was her fault. She would make sure to pay for their psychologists later. But for now she and Luna were mesmerized by Nights fighting he had moved as swift as the wind not paying attention to any of the spears that flew centimetres from him only deflecting the ones that would have hit him. And finally he had used his enemies fear of him as just another weapon.
Night looked at the frightened 13 ponies before him and stepped towards them as he began to speak.
"L"-was all that he got out before one of the ponies screamed and charged at him on 2 hooves,sword held in the air in one hoof. The pony attempted to stab Night. Night instantly jumped back and answered the stab with a swing of his right arm with the monkey wrench. In the next moment Night had captured the sword and held it in place by pushing down on the monkey wrench. Then he spoke again.
"Lay down your weapons or I will break them."-to emphasise his point he pushed even harder on the sword and it broke in two.
"We wont die without a fight."-Another pony of the 13th shouted and they charged at Night as the one who had his sword broken layer on the ground resigned to his fight.
Night could only block as he stepped backwards. These ponies were at least at a novice level as they had strong grips on their swords despite using their hooves. He had tried to knock their swords away by putting more force into his swings but it had no effect other then the pony slightly loosening balance. Because they were 12 the attacks were relentless and Night didn't have the range to launch a counter attack as his weapon was a lot shorter. Night kept backing away steadily making sure to block of any attack that was aimed at him. He then reached the spear he had stabbed into the ground. As soon as he was close enough Night let out a lout yell.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"- as his enemies were frozen from the sudden noise he turned jumped towards the spear barely escaping a sword swing and gripped the end of the spear with his left hand pulling it out of the ground and sending chunks of earth at his opponents. Before the ponies had a chance to regain their balance and resume their attack Night swung the spear and hit one of the ponies with the side of the spear sending it flying into the other 11 ponies. As the ponies were attempting to get up Night walked towards them and pointed the spear at the eyes of one of the ponies.
"Surrender"-He said in a commanding voice with a look on his eyes that said death would befall any who disobeyed.
At this the ponies stopped moving. It was another 2 minutes before Celestia undid her barrier and declared Night the winner of the challenge. 2 Minutes in witch not even one pony dared to move.
