Chapter 6: The violent night of the Goddess and the king.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCelestia and Tavo, the now formally known as the Beastking stood at each end of the table away from each other, both glared at each other. silence flowed through out the hall as the six watched in horror-stricken anticipation, who would attack first? they Thought. What they feared most however was who would survive after the battle. Suddenly two guards flew by the Princess towards Tavo, but he reared up with both front hooves stretched out and caught both guards and pinned them down.
He looked at the princess with his large, creepy, serrated teeth smile and immediately crushed the panicking guards chest's breaking through rib cages and eventually flattening the organs. the Blood curdling screams broke through the silence as more ponies in the room began to shriek in horror while a few fainted. Celestia's eyes widened, as the blood spread over the floor, and she noticed the creature that used to be a pony growl, a sign that only points to one outcome, death.
Upon witnessing the act, Luna used her magic to open all the doors in the room "Leave the castle grounds!" She yelled out and they did as commanded and ran out, "That goes for you six as well." said Luna to the six ponies Twilight spoke up "But we can't just-" she said before being interrupted by Luna "I said now!" Not wanting to have the situation escalate they did as they were told and ran out.
Before closing the doors Luna watch her Sister and the familiar monster. She hoped for her sister that to survive and closed all the doors.
The Battle has begun.
As soon as the doors closed The Beastking used his psycho lightning and dashed off towards the table. He picked it up held it above him and flung it at the princess. She dogged it and let fly out the window behind her. Her horn suddenly glowed and released a rapid stream of scattered energy at him. He smashed his hooves down and pulled up a chunk of the floor and used it as a shield. He then chucked it at her but before it made impact she fired a large amount of magic and shattered the rock to pieces. However she did not see the Beastking run up behind the rock and before she could react she felt the force of an earthquake strike her directly in her chest and send her soaring upwards towards the ceiling. But she did Hardened her bones Before the battle even though the impact might have caused a crack. She stayed on above the ceiling thinking she has an advantage over the monster. But the Beastking suddenly bent his legs and using his strength he leaped high into the air, grabbed Celastia front Legs and dropped her down hard. As she laid on her back, the Beastking stood over her and reared up.
But before he could crush her Celestia charged static electricity in her hoof and Struck his chest Where his heart was and caused him to fall over and snarl in a spasmodic fashion. But what should have killed him Only angered him. He stood up, growled at Celestia and charged for her but as he was about to slam into her she disappeared in a large puff of smoke that Blinded him. As he searched for his enemy, he twitched hearing the sudden sound of buzzing. he turned left to right then all of the sudden a large Sphere of magic flew in and landed a hit on the Beastking sending him crashing onto the wall. After that Celestia Shot out hundreds of powerful spear shaped solar beams directly at the fallen beast. After the barrage of heat ended Celestia Exhaled feeling as if the battle is over. But as she was About to rest the monster ran out howling his demonic roar and tackled Celestia on to the ground hard enough to crack the marble floor. Continuing to hold on tightly to her body, he reared up, stood on his hind legs and slammed the Princess into a wall knocking her breath out. He then threw the Princess across the room and she slid across the floor. She staggered trying to stand up and coughed a little blood out, and the Beastking still smiled through out the battle and snarled as she tried standing up. But the princess suddenly grinned "Is…..is that…..the best you got?" she said as she stood her ground. The beastking Growled loudly and stomped a hoof on the ground.
Luna was already in the courtyard watching the panicking Ponies run back home. The battle could be heard from the highest peak in the castle where the room was. A few minutes ago the table flew out the window and crashed into pieces as it hit the ground. Explosions could already be heard from their as puffs of smoke and streams of light escaped through the broken windows. Twilight and her friends approached the Princess who stood watching the battle in the castle. "Luna, what's going on, why did Celestia attack Tavo, and why did he turn into some kind of monster?" said Twilight in desperation, Luna turned her head "well….it's a little more complicated than it seems Twilight." Said Luna she couldn't tell them the truth about what happened years ago.
blood had begun pouring from Celestia's four head and mouth from receiving a blow from his head to her face. Tavo had bleeding holes spikes protruding form his right shoulder from metal spikes the Princess summoned yet he still smiled. Celestia was already growing tired from the fight; this presented the perfect opportunity for Tavo as he growled. In between breaths she lifted herself up unaware that behind her was a window towards a 50 story drop. Before she could muster up any more magic, the Beastking leaped forward and tackled her wrapping his front legs around her waist, sending them both flying out the window.
Everypony in the court yard gasped when they saw the princess and the beastking falling from the window. Luna was dumbstruck at how fast the battle was turning, she was sure she would win this time. The six were silently watching in horror their princess and their friend falling from that height.
Celestia was caught in his hold and couldn't pull him off. She tried flying away but he was strangely heavy, in fact extremely heavy. His body felt hard too like some kind of metal. She tried thinking of a way out of his hold and noticed the holes she made in his shoulders, she than infused Physical magic into her left hoof giving her a boost in strength and began beating his right shoulder. After several beatings he released his hold on Celestia, just before hitting the ground. As she flew up in the air she hoped that the fall might have killed him, but as soon as the dust settled, her hopes were dashed as she glared at the crater made from the impact and the stallion in it still disturbingly smiling.
She jerked her head facing the ponies behind her she yelled to them "leave the castle!" as the ponies were panicking and fleeing the scene, Tavo breathed in deep and let out a demonic roar so loud it went for miles across Equestria. For a moment the echoes could still be heard and silence roamed throughout the city. Then In a second the entire city was in an uproar of panic. The beastking smiled contently as he gazed at the panicking city. Celestia gritted her teeth and begun building up energy in her horn. She pointed it at the king and shot out a wide beam of heated energy.
This brought the king to his knees and Celestia kept pouring more and more magic on as she lowered down and close got closer. As she neared the weakening king she kept expelling more blazing magic onto her downed enemy. But suddenly he jolted back up and with booth hooves grabbed the princess's head and head butted her. Disoriented with ringing in her ears she couldn't see Tavo turn his body and deliver a powerful buck, sending her towards a wall.
She laid there dazed and clutching her body against the wall. She watched the Beastking as he growled and snarled as if he were thinking. He cocked his head gawking at something in the distance. Suddenly he dashed off and disappeared from view. Celestia suddenly realized where he was heading. "oh no!" she whispered.
Luna and the six had caught up with Celestia. Her eyes had widened and she looked terrified. "what happened Tia, and where's the beastking?" Asked Luna
"Luna, retrieve the Elements and meet my at Ponyville at our old hideout!"
"why? What happened?"
"There's no time, just go before it's too late!" she said before taking a running start and leaping off into the air and flew towards Ponyville.
Tavo sprinted towards Ponyville through the mountain and entering the forest grunting and panting as drool and blodd dripped from his mouth. All the while an eerie tune kept playing on repeat in his emotionless head: "Time of dyeing is upon us, time for killing is nigh. Everyone will fall, everyone will say goodnight, for the life shall be done."
/////////
Luna and the six had got on the first train they saw which was the last one leaving and stayed in the empty car. Luna was watching out her window hoping to find Tavo running by.
Amidst the uproar Twilight realized that she had forgotten to show the book to Celestia. She then also realized that Celestia had said she knew him years before, but Tavo had only arrived five days ago. How could she possibly know him if no one in Canterlot had heard of him until the news was released. She began thinking to herself but couldn't think of one, but she knew who could.
Luna was in thought and having a "conversation" with with her inner voice Nightmare Moon.
"Eventually he will kill all those innocent ponies."
"your wrong, I know Celestia can beat him, this time."
"don't lie to yourself. Neither you, Celestia nor that changeling queen could beat him years ago, what makes you think she can this time?"
"because this time we have the Elements of Harmony and with the our combined powers we can defeat him this time."
"well you better be right because you know what happens if he gets a taste of flesh."
Luna felt something tap her shoulder and the conversation abruptly ended. It was Twilight who tapped her shoulder "Princess Luna, what did Celestia mean when she said she had first hand experience dealing with Tavo?" asked Twilight, This Peaked the curiosity of the other five. "well, like I said it's complicated." Replied Luna "why?" she asked, Luna suddenly got nervous "because….well um.." she muttered , suddenly all eyes were on her "Well?" asked Twilight suspiciously. Luna sighed she knew they would eventually find out "Something happened years ago, when we first ruled Equestria, it was a secret that only she can say, I'm forbidden to ever speak of it unless she allows it." said Luna. the six sighed in disbelief Twilight was now even more confused why would the princess keep something a secret and what does it have to do with Tavo Luna noticed "we can ask her about it when we all this is over." Said Luna. "If she survives?" Nightmare Moon silently added in Luna thoughts.
Fluttershy was looking towards the sky. She was thinking about what had happened to Tavo. She thought about the smile he showed at the party and the smiling monster she saw in her head. They weren't the same. Somehow she knew that whatever he transformed into, there was something worst inside.
///////////
"What do you think that was?"
"I don't know but it sounded angry."
Derpy, Lyra, BonBon and Carrot Top were in the park enjoying the day. Derpy brought her Daughter with them to play with her friends when all of a sudden a loud roar was heard across Ponyville. It scared the fillies and made the mothers nervous. After a while things went back to normal and the day continued. "so Derpy what Did you think of Tavo when you met him?" asked Lyra "oh, well he looked kind of sad so I wanted to cheer him up, but I crashed….again." said Derpy "But he was really nice, he didn't make fun of me because of my eyes." She added. Lyra, BonBon, and Carrot Top exchanged looks then Carrot Top turned to her friend "so you weren't scared of him at all?" she asked.
"No, why should I?" Derpy asked "oh, no reason." Carrot Top replied. After a few minutes the ground suddenly shook. It was light but they could feel it. The Shaking got stronger and stronger and then they started feeling the ground tremble. Then it stopped, but as soon as the ponies thought they were fine there was an unearthly howl that shook them. Dinky ran over to her Mother terrified "mom what was that?" she asked hiding under her mother. Before Derpy could reply, a giant scarred grayish blue stallion leaped out of the forest. As mares, stallions, fillies, and colts alike ran from the giant, the four automatically recognized him but were confused and terrified of his new found smile. He violently jerked his head towards them and growled loudly.
They were frozen in terror by his smile and blackened eyes that showed no light that they didn't notice the blood on him. He began trotting towards them. Derpy was scared not for herself but for her daughter. "Lyra, Bon Bon take Dinky back home and take care of her, I'll hold him off!" without questioning, Lyra Picked up the Little Filly and they galloped off while dinky was calling out to her mother. The only one who stayed behind was Carrot Top "what are you doing run!" said Derpy but Carrot stayed "I'm not gonna let you go off and fight a giant stallion by yourself you might cause another fire." said Carrot Top Derpy smiled and Carrot smiled back. Side by side they faced the Beastking showing no fear "you won't hurt our friends!" Derpy yelled to the king. He reared up, but They didn't back down. But Derpy knew she wouldn't survive so under her breath she said "Goodbye Dinky."
But before he could bring his giant hooves down, three steel rods pierced his legs and chest. He lowered himself giving Derpy and Carrot Top a chance to give him hard buck's to the face and run off. As Derpy was flying she yelled out "Don't worry muffin Mommys coming home!" and flew at the direction they took her with carrot Top running behind.
The beastking pulled the rods out of him and faced the princess levitating more rods around her. She glared "you will not bring harm to my Beloved subjects on my watch!" she yelled.
When they arrived in Ponyville they were already too late. The whole town was in an uproar. The train stopped and they ran off. In the distance they could hear a battle continuing. From out of nowhere a steel rod flew and almost hit rainbow Dash had Pinkie's pinkie sense hadn't saved her.
Steel rods flew by the Beastking yet he evaded them all. Celestia grew more and more fatigued, then she came up with a new strategy. She pointed all her rods up and launched them in to the sky. Steel rods rained down on the beastking at high speeds, puncturing him everywhere except his head. Instead they just bounced off and scratched him. Yet he still lived. In raged she did the last thing she thought she would do. First she froze the beastking's legs to the ground making the ice as thick and hard as possible, once he couldn't move she began gathering massive amounts of magic. The magic buildup was so powerful she was lifted from the air as light surrounded her. The ground itself began trembling. She aimed her horn at the beastking's head, breathed deep, and fired.
The Rainbow colored beam of magic shot out from her horn and as soon as it made impact it exploded, in an enormous white eruption of Magic. Celestia was finally relieved, the blast should be able to kill someone as strong as the Beastking, and finally the threat was over.
"where did you say it was?"
"over there by the tree on the hill."
The girls had left the town and headed east of its border to an open field with a single hill and at the top, a single tree. The tree itself looked healthier then most trees even during the night but they had no time to admire a tree. Luna led them there by a secret rout through an old house down a makeshift latter that led to a cave with a little silvery stream that led to down into a pond which led them to an exit out towards the field. "What are we doing out here princess? our friend and Princess Celestia are having a death match and were out here on with this tree?" exclaimed Rainbow Dash as she viewed the lights of magic. "Rainbow's right we gotta go and help the princess, we already got the Elements." said Applejack. They all agreed but Luna hushed them "please understand that we must be here to stop the Beastking?" said Luna hinting a bit of desperation. The girls exchanged questioning glances "why? asked Fluttershy. "well."Luna paused "i'm not allowed to share much of what happened during those years but what i can inform you of is that the Beastking may be unbeatable but he can be calmed and detained." said Luna, they gasped at the thought of a way to stop something that is equal or maybe even stronger then Celestia with out hurting Tavo "How can it be done?" asked Twilight "The Beastking, although being savage will stop whatever its doing when he hears or sees something the other half recognizes and may sometimes completely return to his normal self, I've seen it happen twice." said Luna This spiked Twilight's curiosity from before "When?" Luna surprised to hear almost the same question from before couldn't think of an answer "w-well-" she was abruptly interrupted when suddenly an explosion boomed across Equestria and a white light shined through the night sky where the battle was taking place.
When the dust settled and vanished Celestia was uneasy when she didn't see his body. The blast couldn't have vaporized him or at least she thought. She suddenly heard growls and snarl's but didn't see anyone. She looked around, but still nothing, yet the monstrous growl got louder. Suddenly the growl stopped, and there was nothing but silence. This made her nervous. She then heard the sound hooves and turned around only to be hit by two large hooves which sent her towards a wall. She smashed, back first in to a wall feeling her wings break, then was suddenly struck by a large body and rammed through several houses bringing a few of them crashing down. After about twenty houses were destroyed by Celestia being used as a battering ram, she was then flung to the ground when the last house fell. She tried getting up but suddenly a large hoof stomped on both her legs, breaking them, as she yelped in pain. The Beastking stood over her and stared down at her. She looked into those black eyes of his and saw the same evil she'd seen years ago, bringing back the fear she felt.
When the girls made it to the sight of the explosion, no pony was there. Then Twilight noticed several houses had been destroyed in a row. They followed the trail of destruction, which led to a large figure in the distance standing over another. It took them awhile to realize that the two were the princess and the beastking. They panicked and immediately ran towards their direction. Suddenly he reared up and positioned his hooves over Celestia's horn. Luna, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack with Fluttershy tailing behind them, raced at high speeds towards the two.
The beastking smiled even more evilly at his victim below him, her face expressing terror. With a quick downward motion he brought his two hooves crashing down on to Celestia's horn, shattering it to pieces. The Princesses eye's dilated, and then finally closed shut.
Then all of a sudden a small spark of magic emanated from the broken pieces of her horn forming a sphere of magic. The Beastking stared at the sphere in interest, as it levitated in the air above Celestia's head, then suddenly three of the girls he remembers seeing. one of them he remembers and felt his inside quiver with excitement at his original target.
Luna couldn't believe what she saw when she reached them. she felt her eyes deceive her but knew it was true. Tears streamed across her face as she faced the horrible fate. Her sister Princess Celestia the one she knew her entire life...was dead. she immediately broke down in tears. Rainbow Dash and Applejack gasped when they saw what happened. They couldn't believe what happened, Celestia with all her knowledge and power, was defeated and killed by the thing that took their new friend's body. Luna looked up from her grief and was enraged when she saw the monster's twisted smile and then tilt his head in a mocking fashion. Luna raised her self and began walking over to her sisters killer gritting her teeth all the while "how dare you murder the only being who not only showed you compassion but who also gave you the gift of freedom? "HOW DARE YOU!" she shouted at the monster as dark magic began flowing in her horn. Storms began brewing as Luna's seething rage grew with each step. She stopped and stayed in one spot to and prepared to let all her rage out onto the beast as storms cracked around her.
However in her rage she was not prepared for what he would do next. She was unaware at the time of Tavo's limited ability and the Beastking knew it and immediately used it on the blinded Princess. He ran, opened his wide jaws in a surprise turn of events for the princess of the night, felt the sharp, powerful jaws of the Beastking around her neck. In a little more then a second she already felt his Metal teeth rip into her throat, and cause blood to spurt out from her neck and drip out her mouth. As she coughed up blood, The Beastking raised himself on his back legs with the princess in mouth and slammed her onto her back. He then pressed his hoof against her beating chest and with a quick upward motion ripped a chunk of her meat from her throat.
As tears swelled from her eyes as more blood suffocated her upon watching her very flesh was ripped off and swallowed whole by this unholy beast, she fainted from the loss of blood and her knowing of what is to be brought upon by the true demon she unleashed upon a beautiful world.
As the Beastking shut his large mouth and licked his teeth of blood, Fluttershy had caught up with them only to witness the horrid Atrocities committed by what they thought was their friend. Their jaw dropped horror stricken faces were only disrupted When Rainbow Dash Flew Towards him yelling "You murderer!" But during Mid flight the Beastking rammed his head with hers causing her skull to split and bleed. In her daze she did not see his great hoof over her "Rainbow Move!" Applejack yelled but it was to late. his hoof fell hard on to her chest Causing Rainbow Dash to give out one final breath before falling back. Then Applejack ran with the same amount of anger towards him. She stopped, turned and delivered her hardest buck towards the Beastking Jaw. But The Beastking did not even flinch and he immediately bit onto her legs brought her up and over his head and slamming her onto the ground where Luna lie. He repeated the same action over and over until she could barely move, then he flung her through a window of a nearby home. Fluttershy was frozen with unimaginable terror, her eyes were filled with tears towards her friends. She couldnt speak couldnt move couldnt scream for help, she just stood there watching at what this thing did.
Suddenly it turned to her. it began walking over to her while Fluttershy noticed something strange happeing to him. The left half of his face was beginning to bleed randomly. blood dripped from his eye, ear, and mouth as the stiches that dangeld began falling apart. one half of his faces was beginning to rot, then it began opening its mouth and uttered what seemed like words "I....live....again." Now he stood over her helpless body, sensing her fear as fluttershy began seeing that same apparition in her mind becoming reality. But the next thing that happens would not only effect them but the rest of their world as well.
The small white orb that had been released by Celestia's death through her horn had enlarged, and kept growing bigger.
Every single pony in Ponyville stared in amazement at the white sphere that suddenly appeared. They stared at it overwhelmed by how huge it was. Suddenly it started spreading out. The sphere spread wider consuming everything in its path. Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity watched as the mysterious white sphere encompassed everything including their friends who were the first ones to be consumed. the sphere seemed to be enlarging and slowly approaching, as the girls began backing away from it. Suddenly it stopped. It froze in its position, lighting the midnight with its whiteness. the whole town was speechless as this house sized sphere which appeared out of no where and began growing just stopped.
but just as surprising as it stopped it suddenly began vibrating and a dark dot formed, before growing as well and overlapping half of the sphere. Then all of the sudden, it began to rapidly grow and expand, faster then the ponies running from it as it neared the girls. Pinkie Pie was consumed first then Rarity, and finally consuming Twilight before she could even react..
"what's Happening? What's going on?" she said to herself as she her body began glowing in every direction. Suddenly her left hoof began glowing bright, then her other hoof. She looked down and saw that her entire lower body had been covered in a bright spectrum of colors as it made its way up. oh no, whats going to happen? she thought before the rainbow finally overlapped her entire body.
Note: you know what ima try shutting up now and see what happens.
