The Chronicles of Light 1: The ultimate crossover
Marc's secret skill
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs the girls walked down the hall following Marc they noticed him go into Celestia's office, wondering why he went in there, they sneaked to the door and listened closely.
He locked the door behind him and the girls heard Him say: "Report agent Day, what is that you have that's so important that I can't get to know the Seven warriors?" Marc asked extremely, deeply, truly annoyed.
"Sorry, Head of Council, but our spy in Crystal prep just called in. He just verified the rumor, it seems the enemy also has a sleeper there as well." Celestia reported from behind the door.
"Do we know her name, or why Nebulon sent a spy to CPA?" Marc asked, keeping to the point.
Celestia shook her head.
"We only know she's a new student, we don't know the details, yet agent Shadow does and is following protocol," Celestia said.
"Tell agent Shadow to look into why she is in CPA," Marc ordered as Celestia nodded. "Anything else?"
"Yes, it seems CPA wants a rematch of the Friendship Games," Celestia said. "No doubt the work of the new student/sleeper agent."
"I assume agent Change and agent Frigid want to meet in light of this news? " Marc asked.
"6:00. Sugar cube corner. They'll brief you on the rest." Celestia said. "Good day, Marc."
"Good day, Celestia and may the Light guide you," Marc replied.
He went to unlock the door and the girls broke into a run in down the hallway, and round a corner, but turned their heads around it to watch what was gonna happen next.
They saw Marc leave the office with a silver laptop in his arms with the Assassin logo on it.
When Velvet saw the all too familiar laptop she went after Marc.
"No, Velvet, Don't!" The girls whisper-yelled after their friend but she ignored her friends. If there's even a chance that Marc stole that laptop she has to get it back from Marc and see what new secrets are downloaded on it.
She sprinted after Marc now a left round one corner. A right round another. He's heading for the front entrance.
'First mistake' Velvet thought, she could take care of Marc there without any witnesses.
Then, Marc caught on to Velvet following him somehow and broke into a run, she attempted to copy him, and follow him exactly as he ran, yet it was strangely difficult.
Whoever Marc really is, he is skilled.
When she exited onto the courtyard with wrist blade drawn on her left hand. Knife in her right. Fully ready for a death battle, one where she wins.
As she neared the what's left of the Wonder Colt statue, she felt a strange breeze tickle down her spine. She suddenly felt cold which was quite strange because of the fact that she's wearing two jackets, one from Sunset Shimmer, and the other was a trademark Assassin brotherhood white jacket with a red scarf tied around her waist.
Then just as suddenly as her chill, the laptop was at her feet. She was surprised to see it there at her feet. Naturally, at first, she was skeptical.
'No doubt it's a bomb.' She thought at first.
She used her eagle vision to look for an explosive of, yet she found none.
Then suddenly she heard a wrist blade out unfurl from under a sleeve.
And just as sudden as death itself young Velvet Breeze was as defenseless as a civilian.
A wrist blade to her liver, and a pen to her neck.
‘Wow, deja vu.’ She thought at the pen trick.
Then she heard the voice of her captor speak.
"Now, now, young ex-Assassin, I don't know what you wish to accomplish by killing me." Velvet Breeze was surprised, confused, and a little bit impressed by the fact that the one skillful enough to successfully take an ex-Assassin like her hostage was none other than the cryptic new kid, Marc Wayne Kurtzman. "But, let me tell you that those more skillful, and more dangerous than you have tried. And let me tell you, and that did NOT end well......for them."
"More dangerous than me? who?" Velvet asked faking offense.
"Wolfgang, Templars, Ebony wings, Changeling spies, speed gods, demons," Marc answered flatly.
"Ebony Wings? As in the actress that plays Daring Do?" Velvet asked trying to distract him.
"She's secretly Queen Chrysalis of earth, and personally I prefer Indiana Jones to Daring Do, but the point is I've Killed people more kick-butt than you, young ex-Assassin, minus Ebony."
"If you're such a good fighter why don't you kill me? Keep your secret?" Velvet asked, this time a little afraid.
"Because I already told you this, I trust members of the Brotherhood, and followers of the Creed, and thus, I trust you. At least enough to give you back your laptop." Marc told Velvet. "Now, I already downloaded all the files on that computer onto my mobile phone, but you can look through the laptop if you wish. Everything and more is still on it, but my more, sensitive secrets, are hyper encrypted in ways only I can solve, everything else is yours to read though, now I have somewhere to be." And with those words, he neck pinched Velvet, but conveyed three psychic messages: Nebulass, Nebulon, and Pandorax and ran off just as the Mane 7 came to check on Velvet.
"Is she.....?" Fluttershy began to ask as Twilight checked her pulse and Sunset used her telepathy to see what happened here.
"Alive, she's alive," Twilight said with a breath of relief taking a sweat build up off her forehead.
"I can't believe it. I just can't." Sunset said in shock at what she saw.
"What is it, darling?" Rarity asked in concern for her friend.
"It was Marc, Marc did this," Sunset said to her friends. Disbelief struck the six other girls.
As Velvet came round she spoke.
"It's true, he gave me back the laptop, but not without knocking me out." Velvet explained.
The girls were a little startled at the sound of her voice but, relieved she was alright.
"The weird part is when he nerve-pinched me I could see a grand heavenly world and in my mind, I could hear a few words," Velvet continued.
"And what were these words ya heard, sugar cube?" Applejack asked.
"Three, uh, Pandorax, Nebulon, and Nebulass." Velvet told the girls. "But I haven't the foggiest of what they mean."
"Nebulon and Nebulass are the names of the two gods in my vision," Sunset said. "But I don't know what Pandorax is, aside from the orb, but that's it."
"Perhaps I can answer that." Said a voice behind them. When the girls turned around, they saw vice principle Luna standing in front of the statue.
Yet this Luna was different for some reason.
Her hair was very flowing and bright. she wore a great, flowing dark blue gown. Yet what really caught Sunset's eyes was the dark silver tiara Luna was wearing.
Then, it hit Sunset like a frying pan, and almost as if it was a reflex, Sunset bowed in front of this Luna.
"Princess Luna welcome to Earth," Sunset said still bowing. Then as the others realized what is happening, they bowed as well. Repeating Sunset's welcome.
"There is no real need to bow, my friends." Princess Luna reassured them "On Earth, I'm not an official Princess, may I remind you."
"If you don't mind my asking ya," Applejack began, getting up and getting back to the matter at hand. "But what are ya doin' on earth, and ya know what this 'Pandorax' is?"
"Indeed, Pandorax is an ancient magical skill, art, spell, and discipline that requires, the perfect harmony of light and darkness to even access," Luna answered. "Very few people in the multiverse can use it fully without killing themselves, and as for why I'm on earth, well that's my business."
"Why does it kill people, Princess Luna?" Fluttershy asked, slightly more scared than usual.
"Because any mere mortal that uses it will be destroyed by its vast power, young Fluttershy," Luna answered. "But that's all I really know, Yang, a friend of mine, is the real expert on it don't know how or why though. Anyway, I must make my leave. I must raise the moon later. Goodbye girls." And with that Luna was gone leaving the girls with more questions than answers.
"What do we do now, ah mean This 'Yang' has the answers, but we don't know who he is." Applejack said.
"I wonder if Marc might know." Twilight guessed.
"What do we do then if he knows?" Velvet asked, "He's as sealed as a Templar vault in Trottingham."
Then Pinkie pie's hand shot up into the air, and everyone in unison said: "Yes, Pinkie."
"The answer is obvious girls, we have a slumber party at AJ's house, then either he'll feel so welcome he tells us everything. Or while he's asleep, Sunset can use her telepathy and find out the answers in his thoughts anyway." Pinkie said.
"That's actually......a good plan, Pinkie Pie." Velvet Breeze complemented Pinkie. "And I'll come to in case you girls need help."
And with that, they each went home to grab their things for the party tonight.
"7:00 on the dot girls, don't be late" Pinkie yelled as she was texting the same message to Marc.
It was about 6:00 when Marc got Pinkie's invite.
'Same old Pinkie Pie, always planning silly, fun parties.' He thought to himself as he sat down at the table where Ivory Wings said to meet her and Frigid Night.
Five minutes passed and still no Ivory Wings nor Frigid Night.
'Not very punctual agents. Are they?' Marc thought as he finished his peanut butter chocolate milkshake.
A few more minutes later Ivory Wings and Frigid Night walked through the doors.
"You're a little late agents." Marc began sternly. "But lateness aside, report."
"It seems we got a name from agent Shadow, that's why we're late, Marc." Ivory Wings said.
"That and a few Blighters tried to get us, but nothing we could not handle." Frigid Night said.
"What's the name of the sleeper?" Marc asked.
"A false name, Crystal List, we believe." Frigid Night said. "Ivory says Crystal List smells familiar."
"She does. She smells like another Changeling, my sister mainly." Ivory Wings reported.
"Alright, this is good, very good. Go into the shadows and wait for my signal, oh, and Psithyra, come by Sweet Apple Acres later in the guise of Mirror Match, I might need you later." Marc ordered knowing that his enemy will send their latest card to kill him or the Seven. "Clear?"
Ivory wings and Frigid Night nodded knowing what to do.
"Good, now if you'll excuse me I have a slumber party to get to," Marc said as he paid the check and began to leave.
But then he looked at Psithyra and said: "Psythyra, The time of the Prophecy is nigh.."
Then Marc left leaving a shocked Ivory.
"Thy?" Frigid asked. "What is it."
"Marc just spoke in fluent Cinnigaran, but he simply said that the time of prophecy is nigh."
"May Nebulass help us," Frigid said scared of what it means.
"I think he just might," Ivory said grinning because she knew the truth that Marc told her centuries ago.
