Live or Die
The Death of A Star
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCelestia and Luna (with permission of their parent's) had gathered up Timidthy's friends and now had them in her private study. Celestia had heard from Watch Dog and Shimmer Sword about their kidnapping. And it scared her that such a small figure could somehow sneak into the castle. Knock out two royal guard's and threaten their lives without slipping up and revealing themselves by mistake. It just didn't seem possible! Timidthy was hugging his brother tightly, Blood Bones was blushing madly. (Though it was hard to tell) as he hugged back, Sweet Dreams was wrapping her wing around Timidthy. French Press and Bumper we're holding each other's hooves and finally Crepe was biting his hooves. While Binkey was sucking on one of his pacifiers, Watch Dog and Blood Bones sat we're watching the kid's. As they secretly wrapped their tails around the other one's, the figure may have threatened their lives but now they we're a couple. Luna and Celestia we're in a royal conference talking to other kingdom leader's about what they we're going to do and how they we're going to save their subject's. The group waited for hour's until it became the time for the moon to have raised. But the sun was still up and that was worrying, Timidthy and Blood Bones looked at the sun. And lit up their horns, soon the sun became surrounded in blood-red and dandelion yellow magic. Their horns we're sparking madly as the two young alicorns struggled to lower the sun. The other's watched in amazement as the two lowered the sun very slowly, no sooner did they do that the moon rose. Blood Bones and Timidthy's magic died as all their horn did was spark and sputtered. Their eye's we're pale as they fell over from exhaustion, Crepe and Binkey helped the two up and moved them onto Celestia's bed. The two landed on the bed in a heap and tried to fall asleep and cancel out the worry in their mind's for their mother and aunt. The kid's looked at the guard's with fear and uncertainty in their eye's.
"Whe-Where's Celestia and Luna?" French Press squeaked out, the guard's looked at the kid's and put them into the bed.
"Don't worry I'm sure their fine." Watch Dog said and Shimmer Sword pulled out a magical laser like sword. And held the sword in one hoof as he walked around the bed until it closed into a complete circle. The circle glowed as a large force field surrounded the bed. The kid's stared in amazement,
"Go to sleep. Everything will be fine in morning." Shimmer Sword said and the two watched as the kid's got under the covers and fell asleep. As soon as they all went to sleep the guard's quickly ran out of the room. And got all the guard's to look around for princess Celestia and Luna. Unfortunately the princesses weren't going to be found in the castle.
Luna woke up in what looked to be a dungeon she stood in the center of it as a spotlight shone on her.
"Princess Luna, your know to be the princess of the moon. Or how some ponies remember you as Nightmare Moon. You have one minute to escape the cell you're in, if you fail to. A bomb will go off in your cell splattering you all over the wall's. I apologize your sister couldn't join but she's in another cell. Make your choice Luna. Live or Die." a deep voice said as it echoed across the wall's. And a timer appeared in front of Luna and it counted down from one minute. Luna gasped, she tried activating her magic but her horn wouldn't respond. She ran to the edge of the cell and bucked the bars but they could budge. Luna looked around the room and saw a file on the floor and quickly started sawing the bars. She had managed to weaken five of the bars as she stared at the timer, it read thirty seconds. Luna started hyperventilating as she bucked the bar's. She kept going until the timer read ten seconds, Luna broke down and stared sobbing as put her back against bars.
"I-I'm sorry sister." Luna said as she stared at the timer, it read three seconds.
"I-I'm sorry Timidthy and Blood Bones's." she whispered just as the timer buzzed and a bomb went off. And Luna's flesh, and internal organs got spattered on the walls. A deep voice laughed evilly,
"Looks like Luna chose to die." it said as disappeared to Celestia's cell. Celestia had been startled awake by a loud boom, and she was trying to figure out where she was. But it was hard to do so with a blindfold over her eye's,
"Princess Sun Butt, you are known to be the princess of the sun. Today your going to be tested your cell is wide open all you have to do is walk out. But be careful, there might be some obstacles in the way. You have thirty seconds to get out or.....well let's just say you will be flatter then a pancake." said a deep voice. The timer stated to count down as Celestia felt her heart race. As she tried to light her horn to get the blindfold off, but her horn wouldn't respond because it had been sawed off. It lied on the floor a few feet from Celestia but unfortunately (and fortunately based on how you see it) Celestia gave up and used her sense of direction to find the door as she hurriedly made a path straight towards it. The timer read fifteen seconds just as Celestia was about to get out of the cell. Suddenly Celestia felt indescribable pain shoot through her back hoof. If Celestia hadn't been blindfolded shed had seen that she'd sprung a beartrap and it was now tearing at her flesh and daring to snap the bone inside. The timer read five seconds as Celestia kept going and just as she got out of the cell. The timer buzzed and the wall's slammed shut.
Meanwhile the figure was in a room filled with tv screens. It had been slightly disappointed that Celestia had lived. But Luna's death was entertaining, the figure then looked at one of the screens. And it had Timidthy, Sweet Dreams, French Press, Bumper, Crepe, Blood Bones, and Binkey we're all sleeping in Celestia's bed. It smiled evilly as it pressed a button and the bed the kid's we're in fell apart and the kids fell down a tunnel that was underneath the bed. It laughed evilly, now the real fun was about to begin.
