Fallen angels
from on high
Previous ChapterNext ChapterApple jack and rainbow dash ran, they ran for their very lives, who was pursuing them was still unknown, but it didn't matter, what mattered now was protecting their kin, whether blood or adoptive.
"*Huff* we'll make it, we'll survive *huff*" applejack assured her sister who clung to her back, frozen with shock and fear.
Apple bloom said nothing, but instead she looked up at the sky as a ray of sun appeared on the horizon, but instead of the sun approaching, it was a women who's hair seemed to be living fire.
"COME OUT, COME OUT WHERE EVER YOU ARE APPLEJACK, YOUR JUDGMENT IS WAITING!!!" she said, her voice booming over the city as they ran through alley's, staying off the streets hoping that she wont think to look.
The noise didn't go unnoticed as many of the residents looked out their window's and saw her there, most of the parents took their youngest and hid in the lowest parts of their houses, while the oldest got out their phones and were desperately called the only ones that they were sure could protect them, except for two adults, they took to their car, ready to defend their students.
It didn't take long for Celestia and Luna too reach the women almost made of fire, swerving their car too a stop as the building nearest too them blew outward, a massive plume of fire sending searing chunks of brick and mortar everywhere.
"WHO EVER YOU ARE, STOP THIS!!!" Celestia called out, getting the gods's attention.
"so, this is who I look like here, but it doesn't matter, because you wont stop my mission, neither you or the sad excuse for Luna." Daybreaker said, eyeing the two women up close.
"Lame excuse," Luna said indignantly, before puffing out her chest "I am Luna, i did not copy anyone else!!!" she said before a hand came from behind and spun her around to look into the vibrant green eyes of a women who had on armor that was so dark it seamlessly blended with the shadow's that spun around her.
"I beg to differ, for i am Nightmare moon, Sister of Celestia/Daybreaker, and we're here to avenge her student, WHO YOU HELPED KILL!!!" Nightmare moon said, roaring the last sentence as Daybreaker glowed with hate.
"We did not help kill anyone, in fact Twilight is very much alive....." Celestia said tapering off, as Daybreaker's hands tightened into fists as she spoke, until she was literally quivering with renewed rage.
"You lying bitch, it was Sunset shimmer, the girl who I believe helped stave off the sirens and did her best to change, who heeded my teaching's, only to be betrayed by some impostor who insults me by wearing my visage and throwing my teaching's back into her face." Daybreaker spat, venom dripping in her words.
"wh- what, we didn't betray her, in fact, if you wait she should still be here."
"that is a lie and you know it, you saw that she felt alone, yet you did nothing, you knew that she was hurting yet you shut her out, never once did you ask what drove her, you only saw the evil, and because of that, she is dead in a world that she believed didn't want her."
"Your not innocent either, you messed up with her too, your the original reason she was here to begin with so don't pin her death on me completely, you abandoned her worst then me, I merely was waiting for her to come to me for support, I didn't know that she feared you no matter who had your face, even though we're different, so don't pin your failure on me." Celestia said to Daybreaker, the mask of courage crumbling as she let her anger come through.
"So, you did care, congratulations you earned reprieve from our wrath, so we suggest you pack up and leave, because we wont spare many, but get in our way, we'll make sure you live to regret meeting us, by the way though, the Luna doppelganger is spot on." Daybreaker said, turning away from the two, taking flight to the sky, leaving the two torn between leaving and letting the gods do what they wanted or evacuating the students who they believed wont be targeted, in the end though, though they did with heavy hearts, they went home, packed up their most valuable possessions, and left for their niece's, Dean cadence's house.
"Sister, their head start is almost up, we should get ready, because its almost time too play, and im itching to find them." Nightmare moon said too Daybreaker.
"patience sister, we'll have our vengeance, but first let make a show, we said that the doppelgangers who wears the faces of Twilight's friends faces would get a head start, but we never said that the others would, lets show these mortal's why you never make a god angry." Daybreaker stated as she took her sisters hands and flew up, past the clouds, past the blue sky, and into the near void of space, drawing in the power of the Sun, as nightmare moon, she absorbed the power of the light reflecting off the moon and stars in space as the dark void filled her with magic.
"are you ready sister?" Daybreaker asked, as she felt the magic in her reach its max.
"Its time." Nightmare moon answered with a wicked grin.
They flew back down, back down to the remains of canterlot high, as both Heart Breaker and Midnight Sparkle met, they didn't need to say anything as the sisters forms glowed, Daybreaker brought her hands forward and fired a beam of Burning Light, across town and into the space beyond as thousands of miles of earth was scorched, the ground turning to glass, as even the ocean was flash steamed.
Nightmare moon instead, simply raised her hands and then brought them down, in a few seconds, showers of stars fell too earth, in the distance, there were explosions, as even cities far across the ocean were pelted by stars burning with magic, but the nearest were pelting Sweet apple acres, miles upon miles of trees ruined by the magical fire, but not before the boutique went up in flames, as well as all the gathering places of many students, the magical fire catching most building around them on fire.
"well that was fun, but i believe that their head start is over." Daybreaker said, as she touched the ground.
"Indeed." nightmare moon said, as she turned to the horizon and shouted with a voice that put her nightmare night royal counter lot voice to shame.
"LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!"
