The Warrior From Azeroth

With their gear set, the ponies set out towards the Crystal Mountains to reclaim their friends sword and put a stop to whatever the cultists were planning. Rarity had given Pendragon a cape which she fashioned from the shipwrecks flag while making a few winter outfits for her friends as well and they would need them soon.

The winds howled violently atop the mountain making it nearly impossible to see even as Twilight and Rarity used their horns to illuminate the mountain path.

"The cave is just ahead!!" Daring shouted while leading the way. Spike had nearly fallen off the cliff until but was saved thanks to Applejacks lasso and quick reflexes.

"You alright little fella?"

"Yeah, thanks applejack!"

As soon as they reached the cave, the group set up a small camp and covered the entrance in case they were followed. Pendragon lit a small fire to warm them up while lighting a torch as he went to inspect the rest of the cavern.

"You sure this is the spot?" He asked daring while peeking around a few corners.

"Yup. Even the cultist don't know about this section."

For a while the explorers sat around the fire while trying to come up with a plan to sneak past the cultists and escape with the sword, Rainbow Dash suggested they simply swoop in and grab it but Daring explained the swords magic prevented any from holding it and on top of that, there were cultists filling out the entire cave system.

"I don't know if this is such a good idea after all." Fluttershy said quietly knowing the slightest noise could echo in the cavern. A feint sound of chattering was heard when Daring quickly doused the fire while listening carefully to what sounded like chanting.

"A ritual."

"They must be trying to break the spell on the sword...we're running out of time!" The paladin reached into his travel bag to pull out a shortsword and shield that left the others a bit stunned.

"How did..." Rainbow cut her sentence short while looking in the bag as Rarity showed off one of her own design.

"Oh Pendragon was kind enough to show me one of his tailoring manuals from his home. They really do make excellent travel bags and if you wish miss Do I can make you one."

"Sounds good."

"Alright, enough chatter! We're going in and we're going in hot." Pendragon lead the way out of the cavern towards a glowing green light as the sound of the chanting grew louder. The ponies were afraid and they had reason to be, not since the Canterlot Wedding had they faced so many enemies at once and now the group they faced wielded powers of the undead but Pendragon showed no fear or hesitation in fact he welcomed the challenge.

"In Lightbringers name!! HAVE AT THEE!!" The paladin leaped into the fray, sword swinging to and fro making a path for the others to enter.

"Is he always like this?" Daring asked Rainbow who simply shrugged before joining the fight, the cultists were easy to deal with thanks to the narrow space of the cavern and the combined speed of Rainbow Dash and Daring do as they zipped around picking them off one by one. Amidst the fighting Pendragon could see his sword just out of reach and began cutting through the enemies standing in his way when out of nowhere came a green flame that struck him into the wall followed by a blue smoke cloud that slowly took the form of Nightmare moon.

"Well well Grogar, you were right." The dark alicorn said as Grogar removed his hood with a smug grin.

"What do you expect? These humans are predictable, if they see a chance to claim power they'll take it." With a wave of his hoof, the necromancer began draining Pendragon of his magic while Nightmare Moon went to deal with Twilight and her friends.

"I believe we have some unfinished business." The dark Princess grinned as the ponies prepared to fight.

"Shame you don't have the elements. You'll need them."

"Oh yeah?" Rainbow Dash took off like a shot to deliver a double heeled kick when the alicorn instantly vanished from sight.

"What the?!?"

"Boo." With one push, Nightmare moon sent the Pegasus crashing through several pillars of ice covering her in cuts and bruises.

"RAINBOW!!" Twilight instantly gre furious and began blasting Nightmare non stop with her magic but the dark mare seemed bored as she easily blocked each one with her wings.

"Too easy." Nightmare frowned before blasting Twilight with her own magic only to have Spike block the attack with his shield. Twilight gasped as her friend was knocked out cold from the impact and for Rarity that was the final straw.

"HOW DARE YOU!" The white mare shot at the evil alicorn with everything she had but was quickly defeated leaving Pinkie, Applejack and Fluttershy along with Daring Do to face her.

"No...girls stop!" Pendragon pleaded as he tried to rush to their aid but Grogar kept him pinned down with his foul magic and grinned at how helpless the human was before him while watching Nightmare Moon toy with his friends and as the last of them fell she began to boast.

"These are the Guardians of Harmony? Pathetic! I only hope Celestia will be more of a challenge as she was a thousand years ago." The alicorn huffed while marching towards the exit.

"Finish the human, you can do what you want with the others." Nightmare Moon then vanished in a flash of light, leaving them to their fate. The necromancer grinned as he felt the life essence of the human entering his body, giving him more power while the other ponies helplessly watched after being weakened from their fight with Nightmare Moon.

"It's over." Grogar said triumphantly as he prepared to drain the last of Pendragons magic when suddenly the paladin rose to his feet with a fierce gaze and the sword began to shine more brightly. Grogar began to feel his hold over the human weaken and struggled to keep him pinned.

"Give me your soul mortal!!" Grogar shouted as he felt the magic he stole flow back into the human and with a mighty shout Pendragon broke the necromancers hold over him and sent the evil ram flying.

"NEVER!!" At that moment, the runes on the blade shined with such intensity that the others were almost blinded while undead minions cringed in fear. As Pendragon approached the sword it became surrounded in a golden flame that began pulling the human closer as if welcoming him.

"Recognize one of your Knights!" He spoke with determination as he grabbed the hilt firmly with both hands. The flames slowly consumed the humans body as the blade was pulled from the rock and before their eyes the ponies saw their friend bathed in a glorious light. With his newfound power, Pendragon used the light to restore his friends strength before confronting Grogar once more.

"Twilight what happened?" Rainbow asked still groggy from her injuries while her friend just stared in awe of Pendragons new magic.

"I think...this is Pendragons true power..."

All were stunned at the humans transformation, he had become something powerful, godlike and deadly as the very ground he stepped on became scorched by fire as intense as the sun.

"Now necromancer. Feel the might of The Silver Hand!!"

"KILL HIM!!" Grogars minions swarmed Pendragon from all sides but their superior numbers were no match for the might of Quel'Delar as the blade reduced them to ashes with each swing, the necromancer grew frightened as the human began cutting a straight line towards him eyes filled with determination and fearlessness he was witnessing the true might of a paladin.

"For Azeroth!!" Pendragon gave out one last cry as he focused his magic into the sword for one powerful strike.

"FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!"

With one last swing the paladin blasted the necromancer out of the caverns while blowing a hole in the mountain side and the minions that remained fled for their lives, as the dust settled Pendragon saw that Grogar had managed to shield himself from the blast but was badly burned all over and one of his horns had snapped off from the impact.

"This isn't over human! The scourge will triumph over this land!!" The wounded ram declared while preparing a teleportation spell.

"Not so long as I stand Grogar!" Pendragon replied as Grogar vanished in green fire, for a moment things were quiet until Rainbow Dash blurted out.

"That...was...AWESOME!!" The others began congratulating their friend on this victory and headed for home with the sword now in their possession.

Naxxramas

Grogar stumbled through the halls of the necropolis, still wounded from his encounter with Pendragon until he arrived in the main chamber where a dark figure gazed upon him with two blue eyes.

"Forgive me master, I have failed. The human now has the sword."

"It matters not." The voice replied in a cold tone.

"Do you still have his magic?"

"Y-yes of course!" Grogar reached into his cloak to pull out a crystal orb containing the magic he stole from Pendragon, the figure the reached out with a skeletal hand to claim it and gaze upon it with malice through two eyes of blue fire.

"You have done well Grogar."

"Thank you, Master."

End.
