Shadow Warrior
Ch.2 - The Void That Fills My Mind
Previous ChapterNext Chapter'This sucks.' I thought after being stoned for six whole minutes.
'Celly and Lulu left me here alone, as well. They're so irresponsible.' Celestia and Luna had left me here, so now I have nothing to appreciate but the bland tree and rock.
'I dub thee tree, Treexie, and I dub thee rock, Mr. Rockington!' I didn't expect to go cazy after 10 minutes.
After what seemed to be forever, I heard something coming... too bad I couldn't see it. It soon got louder and I assumed the princesses sent out guards to retrieve me. Why I assumed this is because they made it painfully obvious. I was soon able to hear them clearly now.
"ALRIGHT MAGGOTS, THE PRINCESSES TOLD US TO RETRIEVE THIS STATUE AND RELOCATE IT UNDER THE CASTLE TO SECURE, ANY QUESTIONS!" Yelled one of them, who sounded very familiar.
"Um, yes, why are we-"
"BUCK! YOU! MAGGOT!" Oh... my... god... please let that be Spaz.
"I just had a question, Captain Spaz!" This just got much more interesting!
"I SAID DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I DIDN'T SAY YOU CAN VOICE THEM!" Sergeant Spaz and Captain Spaz would get along well, I think.
"..." He learned well.
"NOW ANY QUESTIONS!" No one had the balls. "GOOD, NOW LETS GET THIS BUCKING STATUE IN THE BUCKING CASTLE!" Meh, I'm not mad that he talked to me that way, he's motherfucking Captain Spaz.
'Wait relocate...' *mental gasp* 'TREEXIE! MR. ROCKINGTON! NOOOOOOOO!'
I was then teleported into what looks like a dungeon.
'I'll never forget you Treexie and Mr. Rockington.' I soon forgot them through sheer boredom.
1 year later
'672,548,826,192 somethings on the wall, 258,602 somethings on the wall, take one down pass it around, -562,082,601 somethings on the wall!' I gave up singing it the correct way. Besides, I find this all too amusing.
Another year later
'And I say hey! Yeah yeah yeah yeah hey yeah yeah I said hey' If you couldn't tell, I'm getting desperate.
One more year later
'I don't give a shit, I don't give a fuck, I don't give a shit, I don't give a fuck, though if I give a shit, I might just give a fuck, but I don't give a shit, so I don't give a-'
CRASH
'What was that?!'
I could clearly hear a battle going on upstairs, which sounds intense. For some reason I could feel something, not physically but- I'm not sure how to explain but it's there and it feels dark. Then it hit me... um, the thought, not the small rubble.
'Seems like Luna just turned into Nightmare Moon.' I was pretty sure I was correct about this mostly because I can't think of anyone else who attacked the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters.
After a while I assumed it had ended. Celestia has sent Nightmare to the moon...
'Looks like I have a 1000 years left...'
why don't you train in your inner mind
'Oh goodie! You're back... why didn't you tell me this sooner?!' I was sort of pissed that it FINALLY decided to give me this helpful piece of advice.
'Wait... how do I enter my inner mind.'
just focus, you'll know once you're there, you have plenty of time
'Oh haha... focus huh.' I began my suppose to be tedious task. Why I say 'suppose to be' you may ask? Well I already know that I must empty my head, that's a given.
After six days... SHUT UP! It was hard... anyways. After six days, I finally enter my inner mind which is... pretty empty.
"It's empty because neither of us has gave it a form." An all to familiar voice has informed me.
I turn around to finally see who it is that has been giving me all this advice, only to find myself, but... but looks more serious.
"So... who are you exactly?" I question myself who isn't myself but is myself to some extent meaning it has to be myself and at the same time is myself. I hope I confused you, if not, I'll get you later.
"I am you, created from nothingness" He answers, showing no emotion at all... strange.
"Nothingness?" Now we're heading to some deep shit.
"When you were being transported here, didn't you feel immense pain?" That question alone brings up the pain I felt.
"Please don't remind me. It felt like I was being taken apart." I hope I never have to go through that again.
"You were also being rebuilt." I gave him a quizzical look, hinting him to continue. "While your body was being torn apart it was quickly filled up by nothingness. Because of this you have a connection to the void."
"What does that mean exactly?" I was very curious now. Being connected to the void? Made of nothingness? "Does this mean I don't exist now, being made out of nothingness?"
"To answer your second question, yes, you exist but at the same time you don't." Now that's confusing. "As for the first, it means you can pull power from the void making a realm of possibilities."
"So... I have infinite power?" He looked at me... and I couldn't tell if he was thinking or trying to give me a deadpan look. He shook his head thankfully.
"You can 'borrow' power from the void but it will return once you no longer need it. Though you may only tap into this power when you are on the brink of death." I understood what he was saying and then I decided I've gotten enough information.
"Alright, I got it. Now then you said I could train in here right?" I was ready to master this power.
"First off, we will begin by scanning fights we have seen in your human life."
"What? Why? I thought we will begin training not sit down and watch."
"Your copy cat eye" He pointed to his left eye. "You'll be copying fighting styles you have seen."
"Oh... sweet!" I get to do awesome stuff like in video games now!
"But be warned, when you choose someone to copy, we will be in their world but we won't be able to do anything, but watch. Doesn't sound bad? Well when we are in their world, the void will begin picking out a villian for you to fight, but it will take time to make." A villian for me to fight... thats something.
"Wait why does the void do that?" I thought being made from it will make us bros.
"You see, there are many others like you with different powers, hero or villian." That was a surprise. Others like me. "They are misplaced or what others like you call it, displaced. Because of this the void wants to destroy them by sending their respective opponents to defeat them. But the void really wants to destroy you for being made from it."
"Alright I get it." Then it occured to me. "Wait! Does that mean my friends are out there?!" I hope so, I would love to see my best friends again.
"Yes, they are indeed displaced like you."
"How do I contact them?" I was so happy to hear that my friends are out there too.
"With what the displace call a token, it is something that represents you and holds a message of whatever you want it to say. You can make one right now, but no one will get it until you have escaped your stone prison."
'Hm, make my own token... what would represent me.' Just like that I've gotten an idea.
I then put out my tight hand in front of me and started concentrating. I smirked triumphantly when I felt it appear. What appeared was a keychain shaped like a black diamond. Next step was to make a message. Call upon me and I'll make your foe fear their own shadow... unless you want to hang.
"Alright I finished, what now?" He put his hand out so I gave him the token.
"Like I said no one will obtain it until you have escape our stone prison. Once you are out I will send it to the others and you'll most likely gain some tokens too."
"So then, who am I copying first?"
Right as I said that the terrain began to change into some sort of wasteland. I then heard a voice that made me froze.
"Fancy meeting you here." Than another voice spoke.
"You knew I'd come." This just got very interesting.
"Raiden and Jetsream Sam... this is gonna be awesome." I said as they continue there little conversation.
1000 years later
My meditation was interrupted by the sound of someone, no... somepony teleporting into my chamber.
"Hm so this is the dark being that defeated both princesses? He should prove to be very useful." I didn't bother to look, I already knew it was Nightmare Moon. "I know you can hear me. Just so you know I'm here to let you out of your stone prison. In return I expect you to be 100% loyal to me."
'Hmph she thinks she can place a leash on me, how cute. I already know the outcome. So I mind as well have a little fun.
I can feel her pumping magic into the stone prison and soon I start to hear cracks.
'Heheh, she'll be in for a suprise when I decide to backstab her.'
