The Lunar Knight
Insurgence
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"God, I never get used to that, even though Luna sent me everywhere like that. Now then, which way is Ponyville." I look around, "Or I guess you could send me inside the building with the most ponies in it. That works." I say as I try and use the shadow walk technique Luna taught me. 'I see why this is meant for pony use, this is taxing work, it must be easier for them to merge into the shadows' I think as I work through exhaustion. It's not easy changing the structure of your entire body from solid, to almost nothing.
"I welcome our great ruler of Equestria." 'Luna!' "Princess Celestia!" 'I mean Celestia, Dammit!'
[Gasp of a large crowd]
"She's gone!" A startled fancy voice says.
"Oh no." An uptight, but smart, sounding voice says.
Mwahahahahahahaha! A dual toned voice laughs, "Greetings my little ponies." 'Ha she said it!' The voice says as it materializes into the shape of Nightmare Moon. "How I've waited so long for this moment, to see your Sun loving faces again." Nightmare says with enough venom to kill a dragon.
"Why aren't you bowing? Is my crown not royal enough for you now that I've been bone the past thousand years. Do any of you know who I am, has nopony seen the signs?" Nightmare questions.
"I did!" Uptight voice says, "You're the mare in the moon, Nightmare Moon." [insert gasp here]
"Very good, and you know what I'm going to do?" Nightmare asks.
"Your going...to.[gulping noise]" Uptight begins.
"That's right. I hope you enjoyed today's light, because now the night will last, Forever!" Nightmare Shouts as she disappears from the room, just as uptight says, "I've got to find the Elements." and she runs off.
"Wait, she knew about the Elements... So, she's Celestia's pupil, a unicorn. Interesting, I call Magic." I say through the shadows.
I move through the streets with ease due to the moon creating a dark shroud of cover. I follow Twilight to this tree, which she enters, along with five other ponies.
"Ah Fuck it, I obey Luna anyway not Celestia, so sorry, if they panic that's their fault." I say annoyed now that I couldn't confront her one on one.
Something about those last few sentences doesn't sound quite right.
I find a dark corner of the main lobby and hide there, biding my time. I was about reveal myself then and there but the blue pegasus, with the gay flag of a mane, was putting on quite the entertaining show.
"And just what are the Elements of Harmony, huh? Are you a spy?!" The blue pegasus accuses.
"The Elements of Harmony, are tools used to purge any being of the darkness in their heart and soul. I say through the shadows.
"Who's there?, and how do you know so much about the Elements of Harmony?" Twilight asks.
"I've seen so much over my lifetime, empires rise and fall, wars breakout, even Celestia's rise to power. Although; I still think my crowing achievement is watching them get used before my own eyes." I say with respectful venom towards the end. I stay hidden for a little while longer.
"Um, excuse me, I was wondering... if you could, maybe, stop scaring me?" *squeak* "That is if you don't mind?" A timid voice says, trying to sound brave, but still full of fear. I take my leave and exit the library, before I re-manifest myself. I put some effort into it as it takes more effort to leave the shadow plain, than to enter it. My hands emerge first, followed by my head and the rest of my body as I pull myself out of the shadows and back into reality. Once I'm out I reach my hands to my hood and pull it off, doing my best to not look intimidating. I knock on the door to the library and wait.
"Look, this had better be important, because we're waiting for some...thing to appear, and I've got to stop Nightmare Moon." Twilight answers. 'Damn, I expected her to be wearing jeans, not a purple school girls outfit, with black tights and shoes. Breasts are a bit on the smaller side, but they fit her.'
"Hello? What are you staring at?" Twilight demands.
"Nothing, but I can help you with your mysterious voice problem, because I'm the voice. Name's Garrett, pleased to meet you. I know where the Elements are at, but you're not going to like it." I say.
"Why's that, I bet we could take on any threat you throw at us!" A brash voice says. I walk into the library, and take a look around to find the voices origin, my search end when the voices owner shoots into my face.
"I can think of one thing you'll be afraid of." I tell the girl with rainbow hair. She's wearing a jean jacket, with a white shirt under it. She's also wearing a pair of sweatpants and running shoes, the only thing I find odd about her is what sounds like fabric stretching and about to break. I don't want to embarrass her by saying it's coming from her measly A-cups, insinuating she's using something to disguise their actual size.
"As if, I'm Rainbow Dash! Nothing scares me!" Rainbow triumphantly declares.
"Everfree Forest." I say flatly, seeing all color drain form everybody present, "The Elements of harmony are located inside of the Everfree Forest."
"So that's where they are, thank you for being so foalish."
Author's Note
So the last chapter was short, who cares about that. All I care about is getting these chapters out in a reasonable manner and fashion. Fluttershy's more challenging to write than she seems. I also have decided to make the ponies human, with a few differences, the unicorns use runes etched into their hands allowing them to use magic. The Earth ponies have runes on their thighs and hands, allowing them to access their strength, and access the magic of the Earth. Finally, the Pegasi, they have runes on their backs and hands, allowing them to fly and control the weather. Of course, the Alicorns have all of the runes, and Garrett, Garrett has no runes. Lunarkinesis is a variant of a self taught fighting skill only humans can learn. Side note; The characters keep their colors from the show.
Now that I'm done with that, and sense this is the second chapter. You may now let the criticisms fly, constructive or otherwise. I won't care what negative things you say, it only helps me know what to change and what not to change.
Also, Cliff Hangers Away!
