Purity and Corrupt

It began to rain as Battle began in skies over ruble of the Canterlot’s outer city, Celestia tried her best to dodge attacks while trying to figure out what she say to him, while she was under the drug’s influence near a year ago.

“Discord, you have to believe me, whatever I said that day was not my words, somepony else was controlling me that day,”

“NO, more lies, that all you are Celestia is a liar, you call me a freak of nature, an Abomination against life,”

“Discord, I would never say such things, you have believe me”

“No just more lies!”, Discord stated hatefully.

“You have been lying to me since the first day you saw me,”

With a twist in her heart, as Princess Celestia spoke her mind, and said, “But, Discord you did not know, but the truth is I……….…….. I………….. I…….. I Lo—“

“YOU HATE ME, YOU DESPISE ME!!!!”

“I even told myself once that the only reason you ever came to see me on those weekends was to find out more about Starswirl the Bearded, and at first I didn’t care about what you were really after, as long as I got to spend time with the most lovely, beautiful, and gorgeous pony in the whole world, and that’s why I never told you the truth, because I thought you run away and never want to see me ever again,”

“But it don’t matter now anymore……… You once ask me why I had been living in Starswirl’s cottage, the reason I stated I had live there for centuries is…………. Because……….. I.......……. I……………… I am Starswirl the Bearded!!”

Celestia stood there in shock of what she had just heard, was it true, was he truly Starswirl the Bearded, and if so why did she not figure it out sooner.

Celestia just stood there hovering, as Discord flew away from her to destroy more buildings. The words replaying in her head over and over again. Until tears ran down her face. The Ancient Wizard she adored, and Draconequus she loved, were one in same, it was the happiest and saddest things she had ever heard.

Meanwhile, Luna and Rex trying their best dodge attacks from Redsting, it turned out that it would harder than they thought,

“Are you okay Luna,”

“I am fine Rex, he just tougher then I remember,”

“Yes indeed I am Luna,”

“How can this be we are the best warriors in the Kingdom,”

“Yes Rex you two are the best, the training you received from Luna proves that.”

“But did she ever tell who train her,”

“I was told that Luna was trained by King Morpheus, King of Dreams,”

“Yes in magic, and dream walking, but in not swordsmanship, that was me.”

“So even if you two are the best I know both your moves inside and out”

They knew now that they were out matched when came to swords, but swords were not the only reason that they considered to be best warriors in the kingdom, they also had magic, so Luna flew in to the sky spinning though the rain storm, while Rex use his Crystal Magic to Impale Redsting tail with a tall crystal gem,

“What are you doing?”

“Turn you into a Lightning Rod,”

“What?!!!!”

“Luna NOW!!!!”

Just then Luna pull down a massive Lightning Bolt, as Sir Redsting head on. The explosion was massive launching Luna and Rex to the wall thirty feet landing just ten feet from each other, but the resulting blast also cause ruble to fall on Rex’s hind legs “Ahh!!!!” Rex yelled out. “Are you okay Rex,” Luna cried out,

“No I think my hind legs are broken, what about you,”

“Of Course, you are worried about me, I am………. fine, I am stuck under a pillar”

“What about Redsting, do you think he survived,”

“It doesn’t look like he did”

“OH, REALLY”

Luna and Rex were shock to hear that voice,

“How did he survive, I hit him head on with the biggest lightning bolt I have ever created,”

“If it’s any consolation you did over cook half me.” Redsting stated as walk out of the smoke revealing that half his body had been burnt black.

“But I guess it is more fitting to my name “Sir Redsting Blacklist” that half my body be RED, and half my body be BLACK I suppose it is ironic,”

******

Redsting walked towards them, “You know I have been telling you all of Luna’s secrets, so how about I tell Luna your secrets,”

“I have keep no from secrets her,”

“Oh really!!”

“Then I will just tell her what my Informants found out about the destoyed orphanage where Starswirl found you as a foal.”

“Rex what is he talking about,”

“Oh so you haven’t told her yet, well then let me just tell Luna for you,”

“No don’t—”

“Silence Rex, if you two are going to be wed, then there should be no more secret between you two.”

“Luna should know that I am not the only monster who like to tear apart ponies, like you did to those cruel bullies at the orphanage,”

“No that wasn’t me that was the Shadows that kill them, that wasn’t me that was the Shadows!!”

“Then how come that day was also the day you received your Obsidian Cutie Mark”

“Rex I thought you received your Cutie Mark because you could form gem pillars with your magic”

“I…………. I…………..”

“No Luna his talent is not making Gem Pillar, it is Mass Murder.”

“That was years ago, I am a better pony now, the Shadows are gone, I got rid of them before I even met Luna”

“Are you sure, they are gone, because I bet if you were force to watch me MURDER your beloved Luna, then the Shadows would certainly stop me right.”

Redsting then charged at Luna with his four blade ready to cut her to ripens, and Luna close her eyes she knew she going to die neither Rex nor her could move

“NO, Luna, if only I could move my legs, DAMN IT, I don’t care what it will cost me, just somepony give me the Strength to save Luna,”

“So be it,” a mysterious voice stated from the Shadows, as bells begin to ring from the Shadows.

Seconds later, Luna felt blood hitting her face, as her eyes open, her eyes widen with Horror, as Rex had stepped in the way of the blades. All four blades were impaled into him, “REX!!!!” she yelled.

Rex began to fall, when the Shadows caught him, hold him up, he then look at Luna, tears going down her face. He then lift the Pillar off of her with the help of the Shadows,

“Luna my love I will love you now and always,”

“Luna when the foals grow up tell them about me and how good of a husband I would have been, and how good a father I would been,”

“What are saying, Rex”

“I am saying this is GOODBYE!!”

Rex stated as he lifted her to a safe distance with his magic, then he turn towards Redsting as the Shadows pull out the blades from his back while halting the blood.

“So you Redsting want to see what to protect the one I love more than the whole world, and what I would be willing to give into for her,”

“Yes I want to see it the talent of a mass murder,”

“No I won’t Murder you, I WILL END YOU!!!!”

Just then he began chant a dark Spell, as blackish beams of light began to shoot from Rex’s wounds and unite into a Blackish Rainbow, the wrap around Redsting Backlist turning him to Stone.

As Rex finally fell, Luna pick herself up and flew down towards him, catching him in her hoofs. Rex look at her as he warped his hoofs around and said, “Luna is he gone,”

“Yes he is gone, but what about you Rex, your bleeding all over the place,”

“The Shadows could not stop the bleeding forever, so I am dying,”

“I need you, the foals need you,”

“No they need just you, my Love.”

“No Rex, don’t go, don’t go,”

Luna as she pull him for one last passionate kiss.

The most painful sound echo though out the destroy courtyard, Rex’s hoof had landed in pool of Blood that surrounded them, as Luna pulled back to see her Beloved dead. A moment pasted, then she finally let out a loud Scream, “REX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

As Luna screamed her coat began to turn Black, her eye change to slits as her mane began to flow like a river though the air warping around them both, as the Nightmare force that had been hidden inside her since her training under King Morpheus King of Dreams when she was foal, finally came forth surrounding them in a Massive tornado of nightmares fill the entire courtyard, and destroying all that was left standing including the Statue of Sir Redsting Blacklist, which got torn to pieces in the tornado

******

Celestia could hear the scream from miles as she turned away leave Discord to do as he wished, while she flew back to the courtyard. Princess Celestia tried her best to fly though the tornado, getting cut up along the way, as she made her way to the center of the tornado, and as she landed she saw the sad site, Luna was holding Rex’s dead body, and crying. Celestia walked to her noticing a piece of one Redsting many legs, she use her magic she place in her bag, then she wrapped her wing around and said, “It’s okay to let him go, I know he is gone but his love will always be with you, little sister,” then Celestia back away as Luna began to revert back to normal and look up as the tornado began to clear.

Just then, she noticed that all of Canterlot began to fall off the Mountain side, she grab her sister with her magic, pulling her away from Rex’s body as one Canterlot’s many tower fell right on to Rex’s body buring him ruble.

Then Celestia while carry the crying Luna on her back flew out of the Castle fell down to mountain floor. She then flew herself and her sister to the one place they could seek refuge, even though Luna despised the place, they flew to the Crystal Empire.

******

In the ruble he walked the Mysterious dark blue Goat, till he finally found what he was looking for, once he arrived he rang the bells on his necklace and then out of the Shadows walked several of his loyal zombie zebra servants, as they lift up the ruble revealing the body.

The dark blue Goat spoke, “Your no good to me dead,” as he stomped his hoof on the ground, he chanted the most evilest of spells. Then blood started to flow again. The pony woke up and said, “Who are you?”

“Who am I? I am Grogar."
