A Mess of Titanic Porportion

Ten seconds. A fall, for ten seconds. A ten second drop, as it were. However you slice it, we fell, struggling, for ten seconds before we hit the ground. Mason, you are an idiot. The fall didn't hurt, mason landing on me didn't hurt; no, what hurt, was my pride. How the hell did you take me by surprise! "You sir, are an idiot."

"Am I?" He stayed there.

"Yes, I could have landed on you."

"But you didn't"

"True" Really getting uncomfortable now. I reached up, and tried to shove him off of me... He didn't move. I raised my eyebrow at that, "Oh, when did you get this heavy?" At this point, mason just looked down and laughed.

"Oh, predictable Kenny, will you ever learn..." I set my suit to full alert.

"Uh huh." I narrowed my eyes.

"You mortals are all alike." I moved to punch him off... when he caught my fist. Not again... "So you DO remember me."

"How could I forget your ugly mug."

"Spoken like a *fool.***"

"The correct term is idiot. And there is one thing you should know about idiots moldy balls." He cocked his head, "Its that idiots, don't know how to die." He laughed.

"But you forget, even a dog can learn a trick or two." He started to bend my hand backwards.

"Oh, so you can learn a trick or two?" He leaned his face close to mine and whispered,

"Yes, but why would I need to, I already know kill."

"Well then, perhaps I can teach you to... play dead"

"Big talk from someone so small."

"Size doesn't matter, it is how you use it."

"Truly? Doest thou have a mental impairment?" Not. Now. Luna. Seriously, how old are you?

"... A shame, I was hoping to put this confrontation off until later." What?

"Doest there be something that we are not getting? What had occurred with thy voice, emperor?"

"The Emperor has two different minds that inhabit that body. One does not belong there, the other, kind of a dick." She looked confused, then horrified, then angry. Molag turned to me again.

"You are becoming a pain in my side, yet again."

"And you, mine." He turned back to luna,

"Be a dear, and run to your sister. I'll find you when I'm done here." Now is my chance, I could get the upper hand with him distracted. Just don't do anything stupid, luna. What happens next is up to you.

"FOWLEST CREATURE! RELEASE THY GRIP UPON OUR FRIEND, OR FACE OUR WRATH!" ... or you could do that. If I could move my arm right now... You and I are having some words later. Molag raised his head towards the sky and let loose a laugh.

So, you wish to play with the big kids eh? Well so be it." AllDietiesDamnit luna. With molag distracted, I used my other arm and let fly a swift punch to his head... which was also caught. SERIOUSLY!

"Don't think I have forgotten about you." I fired my shoulder cannon at him, which missed. Typical. Just take me now, death. Molag stood up, dragging me to my knees, before throwing me at luna at nearly twenty miles per hour. I hit the wall. Fucking, typical. I dislodged myself from the wall and saw luna fighting molag. Are you suicidal luna? I couldn't fire, I might hit her. Tsk tsk tsk, must I do everything? I gathered my breath, turned on my speaker, and yelled,

"CELESTIA! YOUR SISTER IS IN TROUBLE! AGAIN!" At that moment, the Equestrian military swarmed out of everywhere, followed by it getting really hot, and a ball of fire struck molag. Celestia landed beside me with her horn glowing like the sun, before taking off again and blasting another beam. "Took long enough."

"ENOUGH!" and with that, everyone was blown away, except for me. Celestia flew past me and broke through a window, and luna fell beside me, her back bent wrong. Welp, time for survival plan 11B, unfortunately, I have neither a bulldozer, nor grif, so I must do with plan 1. I turned to a guard that was getting up.

"You evacuate everyone to the crystal empire, they will be safe there." "Everyone?" "Everyone."

Well, best case scenario; I jack a bunch of Equestrian citizens. Worst case; I die or I'm the last survivor. Chances of success: 3.78% With the possibility of painful death. Time to make Kratos proud. Time to turn into a campione. Time to kick ass and kick ass, and I'm all out of kick ass. Time to stop with this nonsense. I aimed all my weapons at him, missiles, cannons, everything; and opened fire. He stood still, and then the shots hit, I continued to fire until my munitions ran out. When the smoke cleared, there he was, behind a clear bluish field of some kind... oh who am I kidding, I know what that is. ITS A FUCKING CHEATING SHEILD! I call absolute bullshit! Molag then charged me. I dodged to the side, and he kneed me just above the belt. Glad to see he still fights fair. There was then a heavy hit to the back of my helmet, which I am pretty sure bent after that, and I fell forward, and rolled away. This isn't working, I need to change up my strategy, if I could get that mace away from him...

(+1 Intellect)

I then aimed and fired what I could at his weapon arm, which he proceeded to put up his bullshit shield again. Fuck that thing. "So the mighty has fallen, and here I thought you would be a threat. I guess I have had enough fun for now." He put his mace on his hip and then raised that same arm and pointed it at me. Damn it, the shield is still up. I need to move. So I did... or at least, I tried. Looking down, there was some kind of, something keeping me from moving my legs... and arms. Now this is just cheating. I charged my chest cannon, but before I fired it,

"Hasta la vista, baby." ...I can NOT believe I just said that, I should have just fired. Speaking of which, I fired. Predictably, he stepped out of the way. OK! SCREW YOU! The stupidity just doomed me.

"So, the old dog CAN learn new tricks after all."

"...I really can not believe I said that I should ha-" I was cut off by a feeling I haven't felt in a long time. I felt a liquid run down inside my armor. I looked down, and saw the end of a crimson sword sticking out at the gap of my armor, just under the chest armor. Smart bugger.

"I would love to stay, but it would seem my next confrontation just found her way to me." Her? Turning what I could around I saw celestia limping out. The WORST POSSIBLE TIME! Molag stuck his hand towards her, and I saw her fall with some kind of glowing... thing, in her side. Well. fuck. I felt the sword in my abdomen twist, before being pulled out. I am going to die. But I will not go alone. If I could only move.

I am... not sure what happened after that.
