Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Twilight! You must come quickly, Celestia is in trouble and- who and what is that?" Luna said, pointing her hoof at Asura.
"That's Asura, he is the stallion who shot that giant magic beam into the sky." Twilight responded. "However, since he hasn't tried to attack us, he is either smarter than what usually attacks or not trying to hurt anypony."
"Very well but WHAT is he?" Luna questioned.
"He is an ummmm... what are you, Asura?" Twilight asked.
"I am one of The Eight Guardian Generals, a demigod." Asura answered.
"So, you are partially a god?" Luna asked, seeming more interested in him than before. Suddenly her horn started glowing a faint blue and Asura felt a slight pressure around his arm. Without him trying, his arm was slowly lifted up with the same aura Luna's horn was glowing. He decided to try and move it around, with minimal effort the blue glow was dispelled and his arm was in his control again. Luna however tried again, her horn glowing a darker blue. Asura felt more pressure on his arm and had to move a bit more to make it dissipate. Luna seemed surprised at the fact that he didn't seem like he was even trying. Finally, her horn glowed a deep blue similar to her coat of fur and Asura felt even more pressure on his arm and felt even more annoyed at this disallowed scrutiny. He clenched his fist and pulled his arm back, instantly destroying the navy blue field around his arm.
"You are quite strong, and you mean no harm to Ponyville?" Luna asked.
"I cannot stand to see innocent people suffer." Asura said, remembering the ruthless murder The Seven Deities had done, all for some "Great Rebirth".
"Very well, I am Princess Luna." she said, holding a hoof out. Asura held out his hand and shook it. "Oh, yes as I was saying Celestia is in trouble!"
"What happened!?" Twilight half-shouted.
"Well, you know how I had Nightmare Moon? This is the equivalent to that, but much more powerful" Luna answered.
"But ah thought that Nightmare Moon was made from you feelin' that nopony appreciated yer' night" The orange pony asked.
"That is right Applejack, however sisters version was formed from her anger and stress, she called herself Solar Flare" Luna said. "Back when we defeated Discord for the first time, Celestia had a lot of extra work. Even though his chaotic creations were undone, their damage was not. It also seemed that Discords magic had affected Celestia. Eventually she snapped, encasing herself in an orange ball of pure energy. It was as hot as the very sun she brought up every day. At the strike of noon it exploded, releasing Solar Flare, she stopped the sun from continuing its regular course. I was barely able to talk her out of it, suffering major burns in the process. This time, it is different before she experienced physical changes such as her coat getting a slight orange tint or losing her patience quicker. At the same time that first burst of magic appeared she ran up to the tallest tower and when the second from Asura was launched she encased herself in the magic orb." Luna finished her story.
"It is getting close to noon now, we better hurry!" Twilight said, looking upward.
"Okay, Twilight, you take Pinkie Pie and Rarity and I will take Fluttershy and Applejack. Rainbow Dash you can fly up to Canterlot before noon, correct?" Luna asked looking over to the flying one.
"Of course!" she replied
"Now, Asura I do not see any wings on you and you are too big to take with. Shall I call a chariot?" Luna asked.
"That will not be necessary." Asura said, looking up to the castle built into the mountains. "That is Canterlot?" he asked pointing up to it.
"That is correct" Luna answered.
"I will be up there, you can go" Asura said. The yellow pegasus, apparently Fluttershy walked over next to Luna and Applejack. While the white unicorn Rarity walked over to the bouncing Pinkie Pie and Twilight. They all disappeared in a flash of purple and blue light while Rainbow Dash flew off. Asura smirked,"Piece of cake" he said. He walked forward, slowly picking up speed until he was at a sprint. He jumped up into the air and slammed his fist into the ground. His godly powers certainly weren't gone. As he tilted his body forward, the mantra flowed into his fist, amplifying his strength as he pushed harder into the earth. Forcing his arm forward even more, he launched off towards the pristine castle in the mountains.
