New guy at CHS: The Mystic Realm

Scarlet was seen walking back into the capitol. Her sword in hand, and Twilight waiting on her arrival. She walked past her, but stopped when Twilight said, "I'm surprised to still see you here, even after the discord shown the other day."

"I just had to think about it for a bit..."

-Yesterday-

"Can a world of benevolence be overlooked by hatred and vengeance. The justice and peace that I seek... may not be found here with Cobalt..."

Scarlet rode into the horizon, away from the capitol building, "Where do I go now? I have nowhere else to go...," Scarlet pulled her horse to stop it, "Perhaps I haven't thought this through..."

-Present Day-

"I took some time to recollect yesterday. I knew I had nowhere to go, but I'm just too stubborn. After realizing who Cobalt really was, I just had to comeback."

"I've meant to ask you Scarlet, but how long have you known Cobalt?"

"Well, I only know him a little. I would visit his village a lot since his village specifically specialized in healing."

"Healing? Did you hurt yourself a lot?"

"Yeah, and Cobalt would always be the one to heal me too, and the last time he healed me before he left the village saved me."

"What did he do?"

"I had my whole arm ripped off by a dragon..."

"There's dragons here?"

"Yeah, but they're high up north. One of the nations that are currently under control of Brisk house them. I tried to battle one, and it ended up biting my arm off. I was bleeding out quickly, and my healing factor was going to save me. That was until Cobalt saved me. He made me a new arm and everything..."

"Wow, I didn't know he was good in healing magic. I've never seen him use it..."

"That's because his own healing factor is stronger than the average mystic, yet weaker than Brisk's and Harmony's."

"I see, I never knew that..."

"Cobalt is an interesting person, and I owe him for saving me long ago."

"I see, I just hope we can save Rarity as well..."

"I don't know much about Rarity, but I can tell both you and the others care about her, especially Cobalt. He wouldn't just let her go to Brisk like that. Don't worry, we'll save her..."

The two girls nodded before walking off.

-1 month later-

How long has it been since I've seen my friends? Since I've seen my Cobalt?

As each day pass, I begin to wonder if I'm ever going to be saved...

I've been tagged for some odd reason that Brisk won't tell me. Perhaps I'm one of his concubines. To be brought down to such a lowly level by a horrible man.

No, he does not deserve to be called a man. I do not wish to be here..., and I can't help but feel that this is my fault.

If I had not pestered Cobalt into accepting the duel, I wouldn't be in this situation. I'd still be with my Cobalt.

I'm sorry everyone...

"Well, it's about that time. Let's begin the bidding!" Brisk walked up with his hands in a cold aura around it

"Bidding?"

"Have you not figured it out? I'm selling you to some other mystic that requires your need. Their reasons are beyond my control."

"You're... running a human trafficking ring?"

"Mystic is the better term."

"This... is just horrible. Why would run this even with your level of prestige?!"

"Do you think these invasions are free?! The more equipment and men that are taken from an invasion, we have to pay for. None of this shit is cheap either. We're mystics for crying out loud! I take mystics, specifically girls, and sell them to mob bosses, Corporate Leaders, or human scientists for experiments."

"You're nuts!"

"Sacrifices are to be made in times of war. A few people are a small price to pay for total domination."

"Cobalt won't let you get away with this... I know he won't!"

"That's not going to happen. I pinned him against his only possible ally, killed his parents, and made him go berserk. They'll kill each other off in months time..."

It was then as he said this, a soldier came running behind him, "Commander, Cobalt is leading an army and will soon arrive here."

"What? Damn it, so he took out Helios. Take her and the other prisoners to the other stronghold on Earth and start the bidding there."

"Yes sir..."

Brisk began walking towards the front of the capitol's exterior walls. He saw over the horizon a massive army lead by Cobalt, "Such a large army..."

A rather noble-looming knight walked up to Brisk to gaze at the massive army, "Commander, their army are filled with mystics of talent and valor. Do you think we can handle such at massive army?"

"That doesn't matter. With you, and many other powerful mystics, we can't lose. Spark, I'm counting on you..."

"Wait, is that a fleet coming over the south?!" Brisk turned around to see on the southern wall, "It's Helios! They're attacking too!"

"What?!" Brisk teleported to see if it was true, and sure enough, it was. A massive naval fleet was arriving from the sea miles from the capitol, "Prepare the defenses, Cobalt prepared for this battle, and he's not going to let up!" Brisk yelled to his men.

It was then a well-decorated strategist walked behind Brisk chuckling, "Brisk..."

"Onyx..."

"If you defeat the armies of both Cobalt and Helios, nothing will stand in your way. You would have realized your family ambitions, and the mystic realm will be yours..."

"No, not quite. My dream has yet to be realized. I do not care about my family anymore. My sister is with Cobalt, and I'm the only one that's left to fend for my family. However, I fight for myself, and only myself. Not only will I capture the mystic realm, but the entire universe!" Brisk then looked at Onyx, "Will you help me in doing so?"

"Of course... my liege...," Onyx slowly bowed before looking up rather devilishly.

"Move to defend! We can't let them past the castle walls!" Brisk ordered around to his soldiers, "Go! They'll be here any minute," He then looked at Cobalt's army on the ground, "No siege weapons? How do you expect to get pass the wall?" He then looked behind him, and sighed, "Thunder! Guard the Northern Gate! Spark, Defend the South Gate! We can't let them past the walls! Got that?!"

"Yes sir!"

Meanwhile, Cobalt gazed at the massive castle wall that separated him, and saving Rarity, "Look at the size of that wall. Getting through that will take some time. Girls, are you ready to save Rarity?"

"Yeah!"

"Good! Everyone, forward!" Cobalt's soldiers charged forward with Cobalt following behind.

On the castle wall, Onyx was giving orders on the North Gate, "Launchers, fire!" A large group of beefy mystics began lifting rocks and throwing them over the wall with tremendous strength, "Archers, release your arrows!" A large barrage of arrows filled the sky, piercing many of Cobalt's soldiers.

"Damn it, we need to get up that wall to take out those archers and launchers. We can't get anything done..."

"Leave it to us Cobalt!" Rainbow, along with a group of other soldiers with wing swords, "We'll get up there to stop them. Just hold out until we take them out."

"Right," Cobalt then looked at Twilight, " Twilight, can you set up a force field around Pinkie and Angel as they try to destroy the wall."

"I'll try my best!" Twilight held her hand up as a large green barrier surrounded Pinkie who was riding Angel again.

"Cobalt, 'Ah don't know how much more our men can take it...," Applejack said as she blocked off multiple arrows, "Can ya' think of something else to ease the arrows?"

"I just can't do much but give orders. Without my powers, I can't do much," Cobalt then looked atop the wall to see a lone mystic standing atop of it, "That can't be who I think it is..."

"Cobalt!" Scarlet yelled as the mystic jumped off the wall, and charged straight for Cobalt. Cobalt looked up as the mystic came ever so closer.

However, the mystic was stopped by both Brute and Applejack. The mystic jumped away from the two. This mystic was extremely buff, even more toned than Cobalt. He looked to be about Brute's size. The mystic wielded a gauntlet blade.

"That's Thunder, a dangerous mystic indeed. Able to strike fear into the hearts of even the most seasoned of veterans," Cobalt looked on as this mystic, now named Thunder, stood before them, "He's much to dangerous to battle one on one..."

Soon, the wall was broken down by Angel, and many of the archers and launchers jumped off the wall.

Thunder attempted to turn around, but was stopped by Brute and Applejack, "Not so fast big guy. Ya' have to deal with us first!"

"Go on Cobalt, we'll deal with youngster. You go save your friend."

"Yeah Cobalt, go on without us! We can handle 'em!"

Reluctantly, Cobalt nodded, "Very well then, be safe you two. I promise your sacrifice will not be in vain!"

"Got, now get a move on!" Cobalt nodded as he charged with the rest of his men into the stronghold.

Brisk watched on as both the North and South Gate were breached, "What are my soldiers doing?! They're letting them through without a fight!" Brisk turned to see a group of mystics behind them, "Take out Cobalt and his group of friends. Don't worry about the peons. Once you take out him and his friends, their morale will fall!"

Lightning stepped forward as the leader and bowed, "We shall complete our duty... Let's go! They all teleported away. This assault will be bloody. People will die..., and yet, they don't even know... that Rarity is no longer in this stronghold...
