Clash of the Titans

Previous Chapter

Dusk, Noctis, River, and Sivera all sat around a fire. The weather was slowly turning colder and their house still needed repairs. The day they arrived Dusk sent Comet to collect a series of stones that could hold the chaos energy, today he would be returning. Being one on the safe side he sent Eclips, Slash, and Echo to escort him in.

That was hours ago, now another thunder storm was staring and it was well late into the night. While sitting he turned to the left overs from their party. Adagio yold him that these kids were idiots, but holy flock of sea turtles they were dumb. He got them drunk and in a party mood so that they wouldn't notice. The whole thing went by quicker than any of them realized and he had to cut his time with Adagio short. And that song brought them under the sirens spell rather quickly. The only threat they faced was the rainbooms. And they handled that perfectly. A titan next to each Rainboom with a corn knife. That shut them up for the show. And Fluttershy went so pale he thought he might be able to see through her if he tried hard enough. Dusk was smiling to himself when his ring flashed. That only meant two things. It was observing chaos energy or another one of them were close. The sirens went home a long time ago so that meant the other titans were back.

Noctis felt it to because she stood up so fast River and Sivera realized something was up. Dusk tasted the sir with his Dragon senses and realized something. Noctis tasted the air and glanced at a tree behind them. The two Titans looked at the tree for a second before turning towards each other. In front of them Comet came crashing out of the woods with a black duffle that looked stuffed. On his face was one of their black face shields.

Comet looked out of breath as he started walking towards them before spinning around. Behind came Eclips and Slash with matching black face shields. The two Titans  were half fighting half dragging a big guy into the clearing. One look and Dusk knew that it was Bulk Biceps, but why was he here? From the look of things, Bulk Biceps was tired. A spider web of blood on his right side looked like the cause of that. He knew it was from his guys because of Slashes bloody corn knife.  Bulk Biceps did something. Without a second thought he walked up to Bulk Biceps and rammed his fist into his gut. Bulk Biceps let out a shriek as he collapsed into the ground. Noctis was slowly circling around to the tree they both glanced at just before the other Titans came.

"What happened? " Dusk asked.

"Eclipse and I were looking for Comet just like you said to do. When we found him we saw this one sneaking up on him. After thay we followed at a distance until the brute tried taking the duffle. That's when we charged in and gave him a thrashing." Slash said while cleaning off his knife.

"Anybody see you?" Dusk asked.

Before they could answer another set of people could be heard. They all turned and saw Echo coming out of the woods while dragging out a kid in a purple uniform with light gray skin and white hair.

"The trouble maker," River said.

Bulk Biceps looked astonished at the sight of the other kid

Then it turned to dread as he realized that they were caught spying and tried stealing from the Titans. His suprise only got worse when Noctis reached behind the tree they glanced at, a second later she threw Sunset Shimmer into the clearing. The fiery haired girl was as surprised to see herself get caught as the rest of the people besides Dusk and Noctis.

Seconds later Noctis and Echo stood in front of her. River was behind her corn knife in hand as Dusk, Echo, Noctis, and Comet huddled together. Eclips and River stood next to the two boys with corn knives at the ready.

"How did you get caught Stone Wisp?" Bulk Biceps asked the other boy.

"After you tried grabbing the duffle and got jumped, I knew I seen enough to go to the police or maybe even celestia. It was only when I was down the street did I notice a shadow right behind me. When I turned I saw the big one with the gray hair standing there with those big knives hey carry. At that moment I tried running, but he was so fast it seemed like a blurr. Gave me a good slash across the chest and held it to my thoat. From then he quickly dragged me after you guys." Stone Wisp answered.

"Why didn't you call for help?" Bulk Biceps asked.

"He said that if I did then he would cut my throat and he would destroy my body. How fast he moved I didn't want to try him." Stone Wisp answered. Bulk Biceps nodded understandingly.

"What should we do with them?" Comet asked.

"Threaten them? I don't really want to kill them." Echo said.

"We might just have too," Noctis announced.

Dusk shook his head. "A bit pointless, we can harvest them for our storage stones. And you guys can feed and finally be fed." He explained.

"Can we spare at least one? If we harvest two of them and leave Sunset Shimmer, then we can kill two birds with one stone. Those two will be like zombies and forget about this little charade. And Sunset Shimmer will keep the rainbooms our of our hair,"

Noctis glared at him. "You've always been soft on her. Don't forget that she's more powerful than two of Those rainbows or whatever their called combined. Maybe three, we should just kill her now and be done with it," Noctis said.

"Exactly, she could take us on and only you, me, and Dusk would stand a chance. Even Comet doesn't stand a chance at surviving at his current level of power." Echo explained.

"Your just still chasing a lost dream," Noctis said while storming straight towards Sunset Shimmer.

"She's going to kill us all," Echo said while glancing at Dusk.

"Do what you gotta do, Comet lets take care of these two." Dusk said while walking towards the two boys.

Sunset Shimmer POV

Sunset Shimmer stood as stiff as a tree. Slash was one of the more aggressive Titans. With her eyes closed she hought back to before she was discovered. After the party she left Magnus who was probably under the Dazzlings spell. The Titans began ushering everyone out as fast as they could. It was that hat made her suspicious and hide behind a tree. A decision She now regretted. The Dazzlings said their goodbyes and Adagio gave Dusk a passionate kiss before leaving. After that Eclips, Slash, and Echo went off towards Canderlot. For the next couple of hours Sunset Shimmer stood hidden by the tree unable to move or get comfortable which was really hard with the thunderstorm hitting them. It was so surprising when Noctis reached behind the tree and threw her into the clearing.

While she was thinking she heard a snap of twigs in front of her. She looked up and Saw Dusk and Comet standing in front of the two boys with their eyes glowing red. Each had a hand on the boy's head who had their eyes open in a silent terrified scream. It was hard to tell because of the heavy rain. What worried her most was that Noctis was standing in front of her with glowing red eyes. This time she no longer looked malnourished, but scarecrow still hunted her face. 'Maybe they have nightmares,' Sunset Shimmer thought.

Noctis' s eyes looked angry, but happy as she was slowly stroking the edge of her corn knife. Sunset Shimmers eyes opened wide in realization. Noctis was going to kill her here and now. 'Do something, hit her, run, pony up,' Sunset Shimmer though to herself.

Suddenly the air seemed to shift and Noctis went very still with anger filling her face. The feeling in the air made her think back to that night in Sugar star, how Magnus and his gang talked in their third language. With dread filling her head he slowly inched her eyes to the left.

Echo stood right behind Noctis with cornknife in hand. His jaw was locked as his jaw muscles twitched. He had more right to want to kill her the most. 'Are they fighting on who gets to kill her?' Sunset Shimmer wondered.

The spot above her seemed to spark as River, Eclips, Slash, and Sivera snapped their heads from Echo to Noctis then to Echo again. Sunset Shimmer looked towards Dusk who was watching the two Titans have a mental battle from the corner of his eye. Stone Wisp looked half dead and was whimpering.

After realizing that these guys were the ones responsible for Fluttershy's state she snapped her eyes back towards the two Titans in front of her after the air sparking above her only intensified.

The other four titans watched with worried looks as the two Titans in front of her gripped their corn knives so hard that their knuckles were white. Suddenly their was a more powerful snap in the air as Noctis's face turned to anger and fear as she back stepped several times like something hit her. Echo kept glaring at Noctis who stormed away and straight in front of poor Bulk Biceps and grabbed his face. Comet stepped back a little annoyed, but didn't do anything. Dusk who was holding the duffel actually smirked at Echo before turning towards the Victorian house.

Sunset Shimmer stood frozen as the Titans left her. She wouldn't have believed it if she didn't see it. Echo who was one of the few people in the world who deserved to hurt her just saved her from Noctis's wrath. Now she was alone with two drooling Bulk Biceps and Stone Wisp. The titans were gone.
