A Land That Wrath Never Knew
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAsura was rocketing towards the castle at speeds that not even Rainbow Dash could match. He glanced down to see a rainbow streak under him but soon enough it was gone, lost behind him.He could've sworn he heard her yelling out "HOW!?" as he headed higher up and closer to Canterlot. He stopped his high speed launch over the city and plummeted downward. But sure enough his little drop in wouldn't go smoothly.
"Large unidentified object falling at high speeds towards Canterlot!" someone yelled
"Blow it out of the sky!" Asura heard a much deeper voice yell. A large purple dome surrounded the city. He could guess what that was. Soon after large boulders and bursts of energy were fired out of the dome. Asura quickly decimated any boulders headed towards him and avoided any energy blasts.
"Target seems to be intelligent, what should we do sir?" he heard the voice from before.
"Send in the pegasi." the deep voice said. Sure enough, pegasi of all colors sporting golden armor and spears flew out of the dome towards Asura. He rolled to the side dodging a few and then catching the spear of another troop. He looked the pegasus straight in the eyes before flinging him away. He heard shouts behind him and looked back to see the group from before charging in again. He grabbed a spear in each hand before throwing them back at their other comrade. He was nearing the shield, Asura quickly pulled back his fist and swung it forward before he smacked into the magic dome. It cracked like glass and he fell through, landing right in the middle of a street. He looked up to see Luna and the others galloping towards him.
"Why did you destroy our shield?!" Luna yelled at Asura.
"I was planning to land but didn't expect them to try and block me out." he said back.
"Okay, lets just get up to the tower, the shield will repair over time" Luna said, turning around. Before they could set off for the castle, Rainbow Dash landed near them.
"Asura. That. Was. TOTALLY AWESOME!" she yelled as she jumped and hovered near them. "I never knew anypony who could break a magic barrier with their bare hooves" she looked down to Asura's hand. "Or whatever those are. But as if that wasn't cool enough, you destroyed a barrier made by the Royal Guard, while fighting off those pegasi!"
"I will do anything to save innocent people." Asura responded.
"ahem" Luna got their attention. "We should get going". They entered the castle while still getting strange looks over to Asura. Finally they reached the highest tower.
"Halt, no entry allowed." the guards stepped in front of the door.
"I am Princess Luna and I demand you step aside" Luna said, trying to keep a brave face.
"We apologize princess, but this is a direct order from Celestia herself not to let anypony into here. ANYPONY" the unicorn guard explained. Asura stepped past Luna.
"Well I'm no pony" he said, leaning over the guard.
"No entry allowed" the guards said looking into the pure white eyes of Asura.
"Let me through" Asura growled.
"Is that a threat?" the guard asked.
"If it is?" Asura responded. The unicorns horn lit up pale yellow and so did the handle of his sword. He held it up towards Asura. Asura just continued standing there, waiting for the unicorn to strike. The unicorn swung back his sword over his head and brought it down. Asura struck the blade head on. Slowly, the pale yellow aura faded around the sword before clattering to the ground and shattering.
"W-what?" the guard stepped back into a corner, his eyes dilating into pinpricks as he looked up to Asura. "I spent a decade training my magic a-and you just go and shatter it?" he seemed mortified at the fact Asura did that so easily. "W-what the hell are you?!" he yelled at Asura. The other guard, an earth pony, readied his spear to attack the demigod. Asura pulled back his fist, intent to smash the guards face in. Before either could strike a blue aura lit up the guard and he slid aside before collapsing on the floor, unconscious.
"You shouldn't go around punching ponies." Luna said in a scolding tone before walking towards the door. She pushed it open to reveal the room with that contained Celestia. Inside was a large circular room with windows around the whole room. It had a large painting of the sun on the floor, and in the middle was a large, orange ball of pure energy glowing with the fury of the sun.
"What should we do? Just wait for her to become Solar Flare!?" Twilight asked, very worried about the princess.
"I will not stand for another evil to be brought into the world." Asura said, before charging at the sphere and jumping towards it. He launched his fist forward but before it could hit, the orb exploded launching Asura away. It shattered the last remnants of the vajra metal on his arms. The shards clattered onto the ground before dissipating in the blueish-green light that always accompanied the destruction of something godly. Landing back on his feet he saw this "Solar Flare". Her mane looked like it had been lit aflame, with blood red eyes to match. Her coat was a darker red. Her hooves had some kind of gold guards that matched her chest armor. She was much larger than Luna and just about matched Asura.
"Ah, it has been solong since I got out." she said in a voice that scared almost everypony and pissed off Asura to no end. The last time he had heard that voice was from Deus, he thought he was better than everyone and everything. That those mortals were nothing but a way to become stronger. Before he could do anything, Luna ran past him and hugged Solar Flare.
"Please sister, this isn't you. Come back. Please...." she started sobbing. Solar Flare seemed to calm, her mane started to die down from wildly floating to a smooth wave, her coat seemed to get a slight white glow. Those changes didn't last, Solar Flare had a crazed grin on her face as her horn lit up. Luna was hit with a flaming blast, and slid away from her sister. Solar Flare walked towards her, slowly with her horn still glowing. She stopped in front of her, creating a sword out of that same orange energy that the sphere was made of. She swung it down towards Luna. It was stopped by Asura, holding it up with his now bare arm.
"Is this how you treat your own sister?" he said, pushing the sword upwards and away from the cowering princess of night. "You are not fit to be a sister." pushing the sword farther up, Solar Flare's eyes widened before her horn glowed a darker orange and the sword pushed lower. "You are not fit to be a ruler!" He said with even more anger in his heart. Solar Flare pushed the sword farther down with her magic, the tile floor started to crack and shards were blown away from the sheer force that the two gods were producing. "YOU ARE NOT FIT TO BE GOD! Asura yelled as he swung his free arm back. It was enveloped in a glowing light, when it faded his arm was covered in the vajra metal that it had before. He launched it into the orange blade, causing it to break and quickly disappear.
"You will not stand in my way!" Solar Flare yelled, and orange glow appeared around Asura before he was launched through the roof. Spreading her wings, she quickly followed suit. Asura had angered another godly being, and their fight had begun.
