Princess Amity
Chapter 9
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Woah, woah, woah!" Amity screams then jumps high in the air dodging the unicorn's charge. Remedy looks up to at Amity and jumps at her wrapping her front hooves around the princess' back legs and bringing Amity down. Amity teleports from the ground and stands over Remedy, "What are you doing?"
Remedy flips over on my back and answers, "We're fighting." The unicorn wraps then twists her right hoof around Amity's left front leg and pulls it to her chest causing Amity to fall on her side. Remedy stands with the princess' leg still wrapped up by her hoof, and says, "You would have gotten your leg broken here."
The unicorn frees Amity who stands up responds, "How would fighting teach me how to control my anger? It seems contradicting."
"Feel my pulse on my neck," Remedy says back and turns her head. "Place your hoof here."
Amity raises her eyebrow and does what her teacher asks and states, "It's barely beating."
"Now feel yours," the unicorn replies. Amity feels her own pulse on her neck and feels that it's beating twice the speed of Remedy's. "It's twice the speed, isn't it? That's because I controlled my emotions and concentrated on moving my body."
"But that doesn't explain how that helps with my anger," Amity responds.
Remedy brushes her hair with her hoof and answersanswer did you feel when I charged at you?"
"I was stressed."
"And?"
"I got...mad."
Remedy smirks, "Exactly. This is something that I only do in all of Equestria with excellent results. This is the ultimate test of how control you really are because fighting brings out one's anger very easily. Now, I understand why because no one wants to get beaten up or lose, but if one has anger problems, there can be...disastrous results."
Amity stays quiet for a short time and responds, "Hm. Okay."
"Now," Remedy says, "you come at me." Amity then walks up to her, raises her right hoof, and throws it at Remedy's face attempting to punch her, but the unicorn moves her head back dodging the attack. Amity tries throwing a left punch, but Remedy ducks dodging the second attack.
Remedy harshly says, "Those were slow."
"I don't want to hurt you," Amity responds.
Remedy rolls her eyes, smiles, and says, "Disappointing. I thought you were a princess." Amity lowers her eyebrows making an irritated expression. "The great daughter of Celestia can't even hit little ol' me. I guess that blank flank really does show that you can't do or be anything."
Amity with a shocked expression starts breathing in and out trying to relax. She then closes her eyes and imagines the lake she and Remedy were at earlier, but her concentration is broken when she hears hoof steps swiftly approaching. She opens her eyes to see Remedy right in front of her, standing on her back right leg, and throwing her left leg at Amity's head, but the unicorn stops the leg barely making contact to the princess' temple.
"You can't do that," Remedy replies. She lowers herself down and stands on all four legs. "I won't hit you. I promise. Now, no mater how much I insult you, don't take it personal. However, you will come across enemies who will be ruthless and will say anything to anger you so you will loose focus. Now, I want you to try to hit me again and don't hold back. We'll stop until you come close." Amity stands up, nods, and prepares by lowering her head and torso down. Remedy hunches her shoulders ready for the first attack. Amity then dashes to her left and longes forward with her horn pointing right at Remedy, but the teacher dodges with ease by moving right and darting backwards. "Well, that's unpredictable. Remember to keep your emotions down. Don't let the adrenaline get to you."
Elsewhere in Canterlot, a team of three pegasi wearing blue suits, flying through dark gray clouds. The leader of the trio sees a massive abandoned city underneath them and shouts to his companions, "We have entered Pandora. We are directly above it. Let's fly down, split apart, and see if any pony has been here. If you do make a thunder sound without the pony seeing you."
The other pegasi shout back, "Yes sir!" The trio separates and flies down towards the city with intense speed. Once they get near the abandoned buildings, they slow down and glide over the buildings and streets. The streets are cracked and show no sign of life. Rust, moss, and plants have consumed the buildings, and there is some debris of building that have collapsed some time ago. Pandora is nothing more than a ghost town. The Pegasi continue to fly over the city and search for any pony but to no avail. Then, the leader of the trio comes across a massive black castle in the middle of the city and sees the entrance doors are open. He flies into the clouds above and kicks on a small clouds creating thunder. The companions rush towards him, and he leads them to the ground where they land in front of the opened entrance. They walk forward with caution but are halted immediately by a scream illuminating from the castle.
A loud voice can be heard and it says, "My city! It's dead! Damn you, Celestia!" Suddenly, the castle starts to crack and pieces of it start to break off. The pegasi fly into the clouds and watch as the castle slowly fall apart. Then, a bright light from the center of the castle can be seen shining through all of the cracks. It glows brighter, then a shock wave of black aura explodes from the inside destroying the castle. The shock wave slices through all of the remaining buildings of the Pandora, and all of them immediately get destroyed like the castle. Dust dominates the landscape and is too thick for the pegasi observing to see anything else.
"We need to inform Celestia..." the leader says but is interrupted when a massive dark blue alicorn appear in front of the trio. The alicorn has with a black mane, a black tail, black eyes, and a cutie mark of a silver crown.
The alicorn smiles and says in a polite tone, "Hello subjects. I'd like to ask you something." Trio of pegasi swiftly fly away but are caught immediately by the alicorn's black aura. The alicorn brings them before him and continues, "That's not way to treat royalty. Now, let's try this again."
"Let us go," the leader of the group shouts.
Still with a polite tone, the alicorn responds, "You don't know who I am, do you? Don't even answer. I am Triton, the true ruler of Equestria. I have returned to reclaim my city, but as you can see, it's..." Triton grinds his teeth while keeping his smile. "gone. I knew you three were here all along but wanted you to see my awesome power. Now, who are you?" The three pegasi stay silent. Then, they feel the magic around their necks squeeze tight, and they can barely breathe. "Let's make a deal. If you tell me, I won't kill you and you can go home and do whatever you please. If you don't I'll kill you right here." The magic around their necks squeeze harder, and the trio are gasping for air. "Well?"
The leader in a weak voice says, "We're...the Wonderbolts...Celestia...wanted us to..." The leader can't finish and is trying to fight off the magic to breathe.
"And?" Triton asks but receives no answer. He then loosens the magic, and the pegasi breathe in heavily and cough. "I guess that's all I need. If you had only told me you were from Celestia, that would have been just fine. I don't like being spied on. I find it very rude. Now, I know you want to continue to admire my magnificent presence, but I have something for you to do, go tell Celestia I will be at Canterlot tomorrow night. She'll know what's to come."
"Why are you telling us this?" the leader Wonderbolt asks.
Triton chuckles and answers, "Why, so I can give my cousin a chance to prepare. There's no chance in Hell of her winning without Luna. I know she's banished to the moon thanks to a new friend of mine. Now, go. Oh, and be sure to tell other ponies that God has returned to Equestria." He releases the trio, and they fly towards Canterlot quickly. Triton however glides onto the ground and is following them by walking. He makes sadistic smile and says, "Dear Princess Celestia, death is upon you."
