//-------------------------------------------------------// Byzantine Power -by Hyperkirbytwo- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prolouge //-------------------------------------------------------// Prolouge ”It seems we are at an impasse” Tirek pauses as he summons up the trapped friends. ”Their release for all the alicorn magic in Equestria.” ”Don’t do it Twilight!” Rainbow yells from inside her bubble. ”We’re not worth it!” Fluttershy cries out from her bubble. ”I have one last idea... let’s hope this works.” The alicorn princess starts summoning up as much power as she can. Tirek’s eyes widen until he catches on ”Very well.” He says as he summons up his own magic for a specific spell. The ground around the to fighter starts shifting as the power starts building up. Two battlecries are heard as the two spells are unleashed for the opponent. The two spells near each other and the two duelists brace for an explosion. But one never came as the two bolts passed right by eachother each one hitting their mark. For the friends in the bubbles all goes white. When their vision clears all that stands left is Tirek. ”I.. I did it! I won! Hahahah-” Tirek keels over and puts a hand to his stomach, his hand gets coated in blood from a hole clear through his chest. ”Damnit...” The lord of Tartarus falls over and shrinks as all the magic gets redistibuted across Equestria. All the bubbles pop and each of the friends are released. ”Whoo! Way to go Twilight!” comes a call from Rainbow. ”I knew you could do it Twilight!” Says Pinkie. ”Speaking of which, where id dear Twilight?” comes a reply from Rarity. Discord speaks up ”Hang on let met identify the spell Tirek last used.” the spirit of chaos snaps his finger and almost immediatly his eyes widen ”Well?..” Urges each of the impatient ponies. ”Well... Um...” Discord hesitates ”Out with it already!” Snaps Rainbow. ”...Banishment spell...” Discord whispers almost inaudibly. //-------------------------------------------------------// Transport Complete //-------------------------------------------------------// Transport Complete A week later A knock comes to the bedroom door. Celestia stirs as she slightly lift her head up off the pillow. ”Come in.” she calls out weakly. The door opens to the expansive bedroom and a pony in a labcoat walks in. ”Your Highness, We have been able to track the location of Twilight’s banishment. I went to tell you right away, but i stumbled across Luna on the way and told her about it.” ”Oh wonderful! Let me just get ready real quick” Came the weak reply from Celestia. She stumbled out of the bed before getting her footing, and quickly headed for the door. ”So, where did she end up?” The scientist jumped slightly at the monarchs question. ”Umm.. Well, The signature looked similar to the test we did on the portal to the human world. All we really know is it’s not that hard to make a teleport t-” He stopped some shrieks came from a room further down the hallway Both ponies rushed into the room ”Calm down my little ponies, what is wrong?” Celestia called out over the mass of scientist assigned to find Twilight. ”She went! She went!” Called out one. ”Who went my little pony?” ”Y-y-y-your sister Luna.” Came the reply. Celestia sighed ”Should’ve known. Set up an expedition and send it as soon as possible.” She stumbled a bit as she stood. ”i need to lie down again, just go make sure my sister is safe.” she said as she stumbled slowly back to her bedroom. ”You heard the Princess get to it!” Called out the lead scientist. //-------------------------------------------------------// Re-Meeting //-------------------------------------------------------// Re-Meeting When Luna woke up she was in a long hallway, decorated with tall arches ever 7 or so meters. Art of the sun and moon decorating the walls. The princess of the moon looked around ”Better start looking for her” She started staggering towards the first door she could see. She looked up to the letters on the doors. ”Library” ”huh, probably in there” She was about to open the door when she heard voice from inside ”...nk you for your generosity and on behalf of all romans i thank you.” came a familiar voice ”It’s a pleasure making agreements with you Empress, but i must be getting back to the embassy to pass your message along.” Came a distinctly ruff voice, most likely from a stallion Luna heard hoofsteps in her direction and hid behind one of the arches. The doors open and a creature similar to Twilight’s description of a human steps out. ”Damn that favour” it mutters under it’s breath and walks away in the other direction. Before the doors could close again Luna snuck into the library, stepping into the shadows. The library was huge, with books covering absolutely every single wall. And every single wall goin up into the shadown of the celeing. On one said of the room was a lit brick fireplace with a mound of pillows, a table, and a couple of chairs. On said pillows was a very large familiar purple alicorn. The purple alicorn sighed ”goddamn americans...” she uttered loudlyand seemingly faceplanted into the pillows. Luna braved out of the shadows. ”Twilight?” she called out quietly. The alicorn’s ears turned to her direction before the face of the alicorn emerged. ”Luna?..” came the very soft reply. ”So empress huh, you’ve done well for yourself.” Luna said with a smirk. ”Luna... you...came...” ”Yes it’s really me, no-” ”At the worst godamn time possible.” followed by a large grunt and a new faceplant into the pillows. ”Well that’s not very nice” Luna said with a frown as she walked over and sat down on one of the pillows. ”So, you gonna welcome me to your ’Empire’ so to speak or should we talk about what you actually did. Twilight looked up and positivly GLARED at Luna ”Fine then.” she stood up to full height ”Welcome to the Byzantine Empire! You’re Highness. The empire i’ve ruled close to fourteen HUNDRED years now.
