Shining's Rise To Power - Sun & Moon Go To War

“Did it work?”

“Well…”

****

We trotted to the middle of the battle luckily for me Celestia was on the ground so I rushed over to her a shielded her from Luna’s blast. The elements got into formatting and they started to float. Celestia watched with a smile. Thinking we were on her side. She stood and accepted my help to her hoofs. Luna watched helplessly as the rainbow beam flew straight for her as I did she focused her magic a blasted the beam. She tried hard but it was ultimately too much she lost her magic beam and was hit. She went flying thought the air and crashed straight in to a building causing it to crumble in on top of her. The elements then were placed back on the ground as we looked in confusion. She hadn’t been banished to the moon. I fact about a minute later she walked out of the rubble completely unharmed!

She looked at the elements and in rage shot a beam at them. I shield them from the beam and Luna looked at me standing with Celestia in the shield bubble. She then shot a beam at Celestia and me as she did I dissipated the shield and teleported to the elements. I left Celestia unprotect and the beam collided with her but again she was fine a few feathers fell out but they were both fine. Celestia shot a beam at Luna and I covered Luna with a shield and stood next to her allowing the elements to try the power on her instead. Even getting rid of one of the princesses we would have benefited as we could over power the other with numbers. Again the rainbow beam connected to Celestia made her go flying but she recovered in the air and hovered there.

Once the beam had gone I we was aware the princesses understood what we had tried to do and that we was against them both. They didn’t look happy so we all made a gallop for it. Celestia and Luna aimed and fired many beams of magic at us and eventually the hit there marks. Rainbow was flying above me as I looked up I watched (It was like I was watching in slow motion) as Lunas blue beam of magic hit rainbow. She fell of the sky and in front of me a bit I stopped dead. I was frozen. I couldn’t move I was in shock and fear. I managed to get myself to walk to rainbow as I did I saw the damage her wing was clean off no- where to be seen just her bone sticking out of her back. She was lying on her back how she fell. I checked her pulse she was still alive.

I looked up to see Luna starring straight at me, I shield us but the bolt of magic was so powerful it blew me a few feet away. Stunted I watched as she destroyed Rainbow dash with an explosion of magic I heard Twilight scream as she watched her friend be blown to smithereens. Blood, guts and bone flew in every direction as her body was blown up.

I looked up to see the horrify grin of Luna’s face. She landed walking towards me. I was shaking in fear. I stood to meet her gaze as she shot a beam at me I blocked it and shield myself. We then heard a scream from Fluttershy. This had Luna’s full attention and she flew to see what had happened I trotted to her side as I did. Rarity, Twilly and pinkie all came close I place a stable shield up around the 5 of us. She pointed to Applejack. Applejack was trying to walk, she was weak. I went to help her as I went to gallop; I saw a beam shoot down at Applejacks back. A crack was herd as the shot fractured her back legs and the bottom of her spine by her tale. Celestia hit made her unable to walk. She picked her front legs up as If she was walking but in fact only her front legs worked. Her back ones, she didn’t realise she couldn’t feel them. Celestia landed behind applejack furious and angry she landed on applejacks hind legs snapping them further. Applejack didn’t react, I was glad she didn’t know Celestia was behind her. I froze as I caught Celestia’s gaze of hated and bloodlust. Fluttershy was huddled into me shaking. Twilly was begging for Celestia to spare her.

I had seen war before but nothing could describe this feeling. I had watched ponies die. It was hard but to see someone I trusted turn in to a monster and kill ponies who were trying to help the situation for the better of Equestia. It was wrong on so many levels.
We watched as Celestia grasped applejacks hind legs and tale and rip them from applejacks upper half. Twilly looked away and pinkie and rarity screamed. Applejack looked at us with fear and confusion. She then looked where her bottom should have been to find it in Celestia magical grasp. She let out a bloodcurdling scream. I told her we were sorry and that we couldn’t help. I told her I was going to end it for her quickly. She nodded looking at me with tear stained checks.

“We will avenge yours and rainbows death I promise.” I said, before I took a sword one of the guards had dropped and cut her throat.

Ending her suffering and making Celestia even angrier.

I teleported us out of there to library covered in spots of blood.

“All the parents of the foals have gone to ponyville and everyone is accounted for? Were you successful?” As my mother said that we heard another loud explosion.

“If that’s no indication then No we failed and now 2 of the elements are dead…” I trailed off.

“We need a new plan…” Twilly stated

“Oh, shining dear, I have the girls’ necklaces what should we do with them?”

"What will we do without the elements?" pinkie pie said with the worst expression ever. Not happy and cheerful but sad, depressed and her hair seemed deflated.

"Without the element bearers they are no use, the families can have them.as a token of bravery…"

As I said that the elements began to glow and they merged into a golden band with both elements being stars.

Wait… what. What just happened…Twilly?

"I’m not sure, when we became the bearers of the elements they shifted in to necklaces for the cutie mark of that bearer these don’t match any of us bearers, what about your children…"

“My children? Brave has a sword and flurry’s looks like the crystal heart with a snow flack behind it no stars anywhere and Skyla doesn’t have one.”

“Darling could it be you… you have stars above your shield and you’re loyal. You were the one telling us to get those foals to safety.” Rarity suggested.

“Yes brother and even thought you knew we didn’t want to know. You told us that you thought the advisers were against us and they didn’t do anything.”

“Wait you think I’m the elements of loyalty and honesty?”

“We can only try girls formation.”

I place the necklace on with both stars. I stood with the girls and sure enough the necklace linked in a rainbow and then diapered.

“It worked we can go and get those princesses now.” Twilly doesn’t think some times.

“No Twilly going out there after what just happened is suicide we need the upper hand. We need another plan… but at least we have the elements.”
