Load Full StoryNext Chapter

       Long ago from the past of Equestria existed a being cloaked in "RED" with the power to bend reaitly with it's own bare hands to the ponies it was known as the "Red Phantom"...      It was symbol of fear and yet it was also a symbol of hope because creatures like it are feared because of their power and the way it effects them turning them into monsters... But the reason why the Red Phantom is also hope is because of the Entity that seek to destroy both Equestria and time it self....  At the time all of Equestria truly knew they were enemies for such a long time because from time to time again half Equestria would be in ruins from the fights between the "Entity" & the "Red Phantom"...    But in lands of Equestria every pony feared both of them because no other pony dare to face neither of them in person. The Entity was a shadowy mass with with many memories, personalities, and appearances that these Entity could just be anyone....

But the Red Phantom was the most feared in all of Equestria because no pony ever knew what it was from the start when it first appear in forest near Equestria ... The "Entity" was the reason why the Red Phantom became hope for the ponies of Equestria... Because it sacrificed itself to spare every pony from the wrath of the Entity..   Even the daughters of King Cosmo and Queen Galaxia who only feared it's power especially against Entity who is  equally as powerful as the Red Phantom...

But king Cosmo and queen Galaxia never truly feared the Red Phantom because it some how inspirate other ponies it stand for what's right for others. Celestia was fascinated with the red phantom, while Luna was afraid  that the phantom would appear above her bed staring at her with it's yellow demon eyes and disappear into the night, taking her from these only family she has..

But Celestia always told Luna that ther is nothing to be afraid,

Celestia said"  The Phantom maybe scary because the way it appears to most as some would say a "Monster" but to me, I see it as our  protector who watches over us... risking it's life so that yours and mine are spared from harms way.  "

The Entity remained in the lands of Equestria haunting it's every grounds taking what ever happiness that remained in the hearts of ponies and replacing it with fear...        There were ponies who believe that the Red Phantom is a menace because if the Entity were destroyed then it give the Red Phantom an  opportunity to take over Equestria while other ponies believe the Red Phantom is a gaurdian angel that descended from a other world, send to Equestria to protect it from the forces of Darkness... But as time went on, it was all quite one day in the Equestria and all was normal as it could be, but then question on every pony's mind was "For how long?" but the day went on without so much of an  appearance from the Entity or the Red Phantom...

All was normal for two days until on the 3rd day when King Cosmo and Queen Galaxia hosted a festival of  Athletic hooves day where any pony competed to take home the grand prize. There was racing, jousting, frisbee toss, weight pulling, and more. Until it came to pony hooves wrestling it was there that two colts were ready to get this competition under way.

Then the announcer said" Ladies and gentle-colts I am please to welcome you to the... HOOVES!! WRESTLING!!! COMPETITION!!!!!...." The crowd roars with excitement as the  competition comes under way

then the announcer said" So ladies and gentle-colts... Give a round of a applause to our Runner-up "Sapphice twist"..." Then he said" And Now ladies and Genlte-colts... Give a BIG welcome back... OUR Grand champion "Bison Hooooooooves"..."

And crowd go wildy with excitement as both Sapphire twist & Bison Hooves went up to the table and was ready for this competition to begin.But just as they got to the table and began the competition there was sudden earthquake with evil cackling  laugh coming from the center of arena even as a shadowy mass began to form itself in the center of the arena, the crowd watch with fear as the shadowy mass form into the Entity of Equestria.

The Entity spoke to the crowds and said" I must apologize for I am late to this party..."

Then King Cosmo said" how dare you  intrude on this festival of families and friends."

the Entity said" I don't mean to intrude anything but if you wish to assume otherwise then that's your problem."

And then it said" so I'll make this short I simply wish to for fill my purpose I set out to do."

Then the King asked" what is the purpose you wish to for fill exactly?"

It said to him" well since you ask my purpose is to stop the future from ever happening for it is my only goal."

And King Cosmo asked"what do you mean by the future exactly?"

Then these Entity raise and pointed it hand towards the king's daughters and it smiled crookedly. In that moment the  The king and queen were afraid for their daughters lives. But then another earthquake suddenly began the shake these entry arena and a voice  began to arise roaring into the horizon and echoing throughout the lands of Equestria.

The ponies watch in horror as a bright burst of red light appear in the center the arena. The Entity turn to look behind itself to find it's nemesis standing there with it red flaming aura surrounding it body, the Entity turn around and look at it's enemy dead in these eyes.

Then Phantom said"you're not supposed to be here now leave or I will make you"

the Entity replied with"well I made sure my invitation was fully checked by the  guards themselves and sure you weren't invite so I suggest..."

But then the Phantom  interrupts and says" enough of your shenanigans I had it up to here with the lights of you so I end this here or you will leave now!"

Entity then only says" well aren't we rude today, I see we've forgot our manners but I think it matters not for I won't be leaving because this time you surely will be dead this time."

They stood there glancing each other the look ready to kill,

then the Phantom says" very well but don't think mercy will be on my mind if I should kill you here and now"

then pose it's fighting stance and that when the Entity says"well I have no doubt and you should already know I'll just kill you anyway so hope your prepared to die."

At that moment everything grew silent as the wind was blowing as the leaves were wrestling and as the trees were creaking the Phantom and the Entity were ready to fight to the death in front of these entry kingdom of Equestria. As the ponies watched in dissipation all of sudden the two figures instantly disappeared without a trace.

Then in a instant "BOOM!", "KA-POW!", "BAM!"  Out of nowhere as if lightning just struck the center of the arena. The ponies continued to watch as they hope to catch a glimpse of one of them in the action against these other but then all of sudden the Phantom appeared just as the Entity did too and that moment the ponies heard the Phantom slowly but loudly

said" Kaaaaa-maamme...Haaaaa-maamme..." and as it did a ball of suddenly begin to a appear in between it's hands then finished with"HHHHhhaaaaaaa!"

The phantom shot it hands towards the Entity and then a beam of pure light came out of it's hands straight at the Entity. Then these Entity was hited but when the smoke cleared and the Entity showed no signs of injuries anywhere on it's shadowy body then

it says"was that it I'm disappointed I thought you were pulled out something better that the little blue light that you call a technique. " as the ponies watch as they heard the...

Entity say" tell you what how about I show you something better than whatever  you just pull out of your sleeve."

Then Entity lift it's hand and to create ball of pure darkness in it and aim it at the Phantom and fire it. But the Phantom  dodged it in a instant as it impact into a Mountain, but afterwords the

Entity says" now that's not fair I stand right in front of your little attack, so I suggest you do the same or else..."

Then Entity charge it's attack again but this time aim it at the crowd and...

said" nobody moves or everybody dies...  Oh and  Red I wouldn't try to make any attempts if I were you so do I as say or else"

The Phantom look to crowds of ponies and the Queen immediately said" leave them alone!, they aren't involved in this!"

The Entity turn it's head towards the Queen and said" oh but they are, because they are watching us as we fight to the death, so are they not...  Because if you didn't want them to be involved then you should've never been here in the first place."

It turn back to the Phantom and said"so red pick your choice your life or their's"

the King & Queen watch with horror as the Phantom was thinking about his choices and then the Phantom knew that must except the Entity's demands and so the Phantom went out of it's fighting stance just stood near the edge of the arena.

The Entity then smiled it's crooked smile said"Good choice there red, but it doesn't surprise me that you're doing this, even the most of steadfast of heroes will fall for a hostage situation."

So the Entity aim it's attack at the Phantom and as it did the ponies watch as their only hope is about to die in front of the eyes of Equestria.The Entity has the Phantom in it's site and it is ready to kill it's nemesis, once and for all. The Entity then fire it's attack and as it went towards the Phantom, the ponies begin to panic as their only hope was about to die. Until all of a sudden the Phantom lunged forward at it and then threw it's hands in front of itself and shock beyond belief as the ponies saw the Phantom hold back the Entity's dark energy attack in midair and they continue to watch as the Phantom flung the energy attack away from the crowds and into the skies above, but

then the Entity said"hey now just cheating right there"

then the Phantom said"  whoever said that life was fair to those Who are cruel to it!"

and the Entity said" cruel to it?! Ha! Why should it concerned me as being apart of life, and plus I'm simply doing it a favor by ending it quickly."

The Phantom says back at the Entity"and that's where I can't allow you to do that at all."

Then the two lunged at each other with their fists coming in contact with these other creating a powerful burst of air that cracked the arena and some of the chairs in the bleachers. As the fight continue King Cosmo was told by one his guards that must leave the area immediately...

but Cosmo said" no because if we do the Entity will stop us if we try to escape, so we must remain here hoping the Phantom can finish it here."

The Phantom flew down into ground on the right side of the arena beaten so bad, every pony wonder if the Phantom could still stand up even after that, then the

Entity said" well Red it's too bad your already down for the count really because I really looking forward to having an actual Challenge for once... But! Oh well if that's all you got then I guest our little game ends here then.."

Then the Entity turn to the King & Queen, but before it could say or do anything the Entity and the crowd heard " It not over until I finished this right here, at this moment... right now."

The Entity turn around to find it's nemesis still standing some how and said"incredible and I almost underestimated you red but I see you are still willing to fight, so tell me red... why do you still stand and fight for?"

As the red Phantom struggled to stay on on it's feet the Phantom said" as long as I live time will continue as long as I stand life  Will continue to exist as long as I live."

Then the Phantom suddenly begin to grow brighter than before and as it did the Phantom suddenly start to yell into the horizon and everything began to shift and creek as if the wind was beginning to pick up at violent rate as the Phantom roared into the sky with it's power growing  intensely by the minute, then it all stop as the Phantom came to a hold and...

then said" Times 100 Kaaaaaa-mammme... Haaaaaa-mammme...  Hhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Then a massive beam of light shot from the Phantom's hands straight at the Entity with a massive impact that the entry stadium was clouded by smoke and dust, nothing happen even as the dust began to settle there was no sign of the Entity or the Red Phantom. On that day it was only battle the ponies ever witness in person and  was the only battle to be ever recorded into Equestria history.
