Chapter one: Weapons, War, and…Siblings?

Canterlot Castle 2 days after attack

Celestia walked down the hall with Twilight, and Luna, making their way to the castle's war room to discuss the new threat. It had been two days since the mysterious alicorn attacked Canterlot castle, luckily no one was hurt physically. Luna and her guards pride were knocked down a level by the attacker, but they would live. In response the attack Celestia sent out letters to the alicorn hierarchy, Shining armor, and Discord to meet at the castle for an emergency meeting.

The three alicorns reach the end of the long hallway stopping in front of a wide, iron, and wooden double door. Celestia reach out her magic and opened up the door revealing the small war room they were entering. A large circle table sat in the middle of the room a large magic lamp hung above the table. Thirteen seats placed around the table with small gold head plates that showed the names of each poney.

The alicorns could only guess at the amount of chaos that was happening before they opened the door, papers laid strayed on the ground and the table, ponies that must have been rushing around sharing information between each other, on what had happened two days prior, were now frozen to the spot at the sight of their rulers.

As the three alicorns entered the room it fell into a silent mess of shuffling hooves and the stacking of paperwork as poneys moved to there respective places. Luna, Celestia, and twilight walked to the back of the room taking the three large seats at the ‘head’ of the table next to Captain Shining Armor and Cadance who had arrived only a few minutes earlier.

Celestia looked to Shining Armor asking “is everyone that needs to be here present and accounted for?” Shining who was sitting to the left of Cadence replied in a militaristic fashion “all are accounted for except Discord, your majesty” Celestia not surprised by this statement signaled for Shining Armor to continue.

Shining Armor now receiving the go ahead stood up and began to talk “As of now the briefing has started anyone without the proper clearance is to leave now and is to wait in the hall for further instructions” Shining stop for a brief minute as the ponies that didn't have the proper clearance left the room leaving only seven ponies left in the room himself, Luna, Celestia, Twilight, Cadence, General Lance of the EAF (equestrian armed forces), and Picard head of foreign affairs.

Looking around the room to make sure that all the pony in the room had clearance Shining begin to speak “all information now shared in this room is deemed above classified and if shared to anyone, without proper clearance, is subject to banishment or death without trial”

Suddenly in a bright flash of light discord appeared in the empty seat next to Picard his face dead serious as he spoke “oh bla bla, I showed up to this meeting late so I could skip all this formal stuff, I just want to know why I could get through his spell barrier! Alicorn magic is not that strong. He look to celestia “what did you do?, what are you hiding?!”

Celestia looked down in shame as she began to answer Discords question “Discord the reason that the alicorn was so strong is because he is using a combination of Draconequus and Alicorn magic”

Discord floated up in a instant anger showing in his voice as he responded “impossible there hasn't been an alicorn that could use Draconequus magic since the war, and even then it was rare”

“He is right sister” Luna said “ I might have been young but is still remember some of the war, all the alicorn that use Draconequus magic have died, it has gone completely extinct”

Celestia shook her head again as if trying to shake away a bad memory “you don't understand he wasn't born an with the power we’d given it, built it, he was a weapon” Celestia's face had a scale of rage as she spoke “ the alicorns were desperate at the end of the war and the final plan ,we created a monster, to fight back against your kind”

It was silent for a second before twilight broke the silence “I hate to ask Celestia but what are you talking about?”

"There is a is a story that you must know before we tell you what you are up against."

"The story dates back 2556 years when I was just a filly and the war between the Draconequus and alicorns was nearing its end”

*flashback*

“It was 500 years before the wars end when a alicorn filly, by the name of Akmar ,was born that had great power, his magic was greater than any alicorn we had even in his infant age. So the alicorn council made a great risk” Celestia took a deep breath before she started to speak again “we replaced all the blood of the filly with that of a Draconequus hoping it would allow and make him stronger in the art of magic. It was something that was never done before because of the dangers but the council was desperate for a turn in the war, and it worked the alicorn filly was given a boat in his magic, it made his alicorn magic go to a level that was never thought possible why he was given full control over his Draconequus side¨

Celestia looked around at the gasps that came from the ponies around the room and continued “mine and luna’s father was a user of Draconequus magic and our mother a very strong user of the alicorn magic had ‘adopted’ the filly so that they could train him in the ways of using magic so that he could end the war”

Celestia put on a happy as she continied talking “he was a very kind pony, like a brother, he tough me somany thing in the field of magic that our parents or even Star Swirl wouldn't teach me. Everything was going great and to their plan, his powers grew and grew until it seemed like he could actual stop this war that we were fighting.”

taking a breath she continued “then one day he went mad, I don't know what caused it. I have my theories one of them being that he found out what we had done to him or that he may have just went mad with power and wanted to control everything.”

Discord scoffed at what was being said and thrown in his own thoughts into the conversation “For one I am not surprised that he turned on you, from what I observed in the short time that your rase had been around when I was young, you were a rase of proud, arrogant, and foolhardy poney who valued themself over everything. If he did find the truth of just being some lab rat pawn in the scale of larger things I would to lash out against my creators” the last part of Discords speech came off as a little more harsh then it should have but no one seemed to notice or care if they did.

Twilight who had been listening intently the whole time look to Celestia and luna “well that answers who and what he is and why he is so strong but, how is he back and what happened to him for him to be banished?”

Everyone that sat at the table nodded to Twilights question and looked to Celestia for the answer. She sighed and began to speak right where she left off before Discords interruption “It was in the last year of the war when Akmar decided that it was time to rebel against us. It started as talks with my parents about what he was and how he was to stop the war with the Draconequus, then those talks turned into arguments, horrible arguments after a month somthing final snapped in him, one day after one of my a long day of training with my father, I sat in my room playing a game of chess with Akmar like our usual nightly ritual when, in the middle of our game he stood up and said that he had to excuse himself and that he would be back soon, with me Being as young as I was back then I pouted but, the educate lessons that our mother gave us kick in, and I apologize and let him go”

Celestia licked her lips and shift in her seat as she continued “It was only a few hours after he left when swift wing, fathers best friend and trusted adviser came, into my room and told me something had happened to mother and father and that me and luna where now to be the hares to the throne and movers of the sun and the moon respectively, when we had the proper training and magic to do so. We were told that we would be moving castle due to the incedict that had taken place, as we grabbed the luna who was a baby filly at the time I asked if you would get Akmar too, swift wing only gave me a sad look as we flew from the castle that night and it was only two hundred years later that I would find out why. That night in the castle my brother confronted our parents, I was not there myself but from what swift swing told me it didn't stay as a talk for long, soon it was an argument, then it turned Violent. With the war and stress already taking it toll on my parents they could not fight back against him, so they used the last of what life force they had and cast a banishing spell so strong that it should have kept him banished longer but due to the state they were in they only had enough magic and life to trap him for two thousand years,and now that he is back we must not let there sacrifice to be in vain, we have to stop him”

End Flashback

Celestia finished tell the tale tears were silently streaming down her face as all the ponies in the room remained silent, Cadence placed a hoof on Celestia's shoulder “I am so sorry Auntie Celestia, I would have never wished this on you”

Luna who had also moved to comfort Celestia nodded in agreement as she began to speak “the question is now, how are we going to stop him, and what does he want? While we could once weld the Elements of harmony against such foe that is no longer an option” the room was in silence thinking about the question.

General lance broke the uneasy silence “ I believe that we should mobilize the Equestrian army now while we have have the chance and to calm the public if panic should start and spread”

The sound of a hoof hitting the table sounded from Picard as he tried to gain the Generals attention “did I say something wrong Picard” the General questioned

“Yes, we can't just go and mobilize our troops! Do you know the chaos that would ensue? How do you think the Griffin or the dragon territories will react to the mass building of an army from their neighbors, and then when they come over and ask us why we are doing this what are!? we going to reply because it can't be the truth, could you imagine that, oh why are we building up a massive army well it is to defend from an ancient evil that has been released from its 2000 year prison that is threatening Equestra, so don't worry it isn't to invade you, I can-”

“That is enough Picard” luna said “we can see the point you make, I will also agree that massing an army would be a mistake considering the enemy that we are fighting”

General Lancer slammed his hoof down on the table “we cant sit and do nothing as he tears the kingdom apart”

Shining armor stood in defence shouting back at lance “I do not believe she said that we would do nothing and with all do respect General you should watch you tone when speaking to the princess’s”

Luna pushed herself into the argument between the two stallions “the question to ask is not what to do but why he hasn't done anything to us yet, he has more than enough chances over the last to days?”

“Stop it both of you, I expect more from the captain and my general” Celestia shouted at Shining Armor and General lance as they were giving each other dirty looks “we have more pressing issues then to be at each other throats” Celestia said while levitating a letter into the air “I don't know why he has not attacked us directly yet, maybe it is because the banishment weakened him and he needs to regain his power, what I do know is this” she held up the letter “This was the Gift that was left to me by Akmar or, as the letter states his new name Rahu, I am going to read it aloud and hope it may give us a glimpse into what we should expect”

Celestia cleared her throat and began to read

“To my dear sister Celestia……”
