Talion in Equestria
Chapter 28 relesing discord pocket dimensions and saving ponies
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt has been a few weeks since our little camping experience and the bounty hunters and I heard Applejack had a family reunion and she saved Spikes life at one point and Celestia called out to the edge of town and we saw her flying in a chariot in the distance and I saw another chariot but I couldn't see what's inside.
“What do you think Celestia call us out for?” Pikie asked jumping up and down.
“No idea.” I said and they got closer and I saw what was in the other chariot and I was seething with rage when I saw the statue of discord.
After they landed and Celestia stepped out out the chariot and Twilight stepped forward. “With all do respect princess HOW COULD YOU BRING DISCORD HERE your majesty.” She said yelling the last part and the princess tried to keep her smile but she knew they were scared of discord after he nearly killed them.
“I am aware that the last time he was here he caused havoc and injured you and your friends.” She said.
“If you mean havoc you mean nearly killing us and her shot off a few of our limbs in the process.
“Yes I know but I have use for Discord’s magic if it can be used to serve good instead of evil that is why I brought Discord here because I believe you girls can help him do just that and with Talion here he won’t try anything because of their last encounter and he has gotten even stronger since then.” She said looking at me and she handed the girls the Elements of Harmony.
“Well I guess we can use the we can use the elements again if he causes trouble.” Twilight said as the other nodded in agreement.
So who will look after the varmint?” Applejack asked.
“I will.” Fluttershy volunteered and they powered up the elements and the rainbow beam hit the statue of Discord and it turned back to flesh and he yawned and stretched out
“Well it’s about time somepony got me out of that prison block.” He said as he steacted his lion paw and snapped his fingers transforming a squirrel into a larger more buff squirrel.
“What are you doing?” Celestia asked as she looked at him with a angry scowl on her face.
“Why stretching of course.” He said. “Being stuck in stone can really get someone cramped up.” and he snapped his fingers again and he did the same thing to a bunny.
“Discord stop this.” Celestia commanded.
“He’s cute as he is and I think it’s vut that you think you can actually reform me.”He said as he laughed and I walked up behind him and drew Frostmourne and held it beside his neck as he looked to his shoulder and then to me with fearful eyes.
“Ether turn them back or i’ll make you.” I said and he snapped his fingers and turned them back but I didn’t notice he used his tail to make fingers and snap them.
“Well I know where i’ll be crashing while i’m being reformed.” Discord said.
“How do you know that?” Twilight asked.
“Just because I’m in stone does not mean I can’t hear.” He said as he pulled off his ears and they played back that Fluttershy volunteered and he put them back on.
After Celestia left we walked to Fluttershy’s house and I had a idea. “I have a idea where you could live.” I said and he raised an eyebrow and after we reached the house I cast a spell on a nearby tree and a door formed in the the middle of it and it had runes in the frame. “Now can you focus some of your chaos magic in it?” I asked and his hand glowed as the runes glowed as well and it dimmed but still held a faint glow and I opened the door to reveal a pocket dimension made of chaotic magic.
“I think this will give you suitable accommodations.” I said and he stepped in and looked around and he stroked his beard and he had a grin on his face.
“The runes on the door create a pocket dimension based on the magic they are infused with so when you infused your magic in it and it create a dimension accordingly.” I explained and he walked inside the house and we walked outside the door and closed it.
“Hey Talion where did you find that spell.” Twilight asked and I frowed.
“I found it a few minutes ago and tried it and I didn’t like what I saw in my dimension.” I said and they had curious looks on their faces and I created another door and focused some of my magic in it and they glowed red and I opened the door and we walked inside and the girls looked around to see a wasteland.
“So this is your dimension.” I heard behind me to see discord was floating around.
“Where the sun this place is dreadful.” Rarity said.
“There isn’t one.” I said.
“But that impossible their can’t be life without a sun.”Twilight said.
“You forget this dimension was and is created by dark and undead magic and ruled by it.”I said as she looked around.
After I said that I heard snapping behind me and say discord. “What are you doing?” I asked.
“Trying to make a sun to brighten things up but I can’t.” He said.
“But why don't you like this place it just a wasteland it's not that bad.” Rainbow Dash.
“It’s not the waste;and I don’t like I can live with that it’s something else follow me.” I said and they followed me and we walked up and saw a abandoned village and we walked inside and I stopped them.
“Fluttershy you should stay here you don’t want to see this.” I said and she stayed their and we walked further into town and the girls gasped when we turned around the corner to see skeletons everywhere and many of them looked like family trying to shield each other from something and I saw discord was even disturbed by this and we walked threw the streets to see more skeleton and we saw a school as we passed by and only Rainbow Dash was brave enough to look inside and she came out with tears in her eyes as she flew away and I saw her go through the door and leave and we walked into a bar and it was empty and I grabbed a bottle of alcohol and poured myself a drink and I gave the others water and their hands were shaking.
“We should go?” I said and we left the bar and meet up with Fluttershy and walked through the door were Rainbow Dash was sitting on a stump waiting for us and I noticed my staff was missing and I saw I dropped it in the wasteland so I walked back inside and picked it up and when I heard a terrible screech and screaming and I ran on top of a hill to see what was going on there shouldn't be anything alive here.
After I got to the top I saw figures running in the distance they were ponies and I watched them running for a few minutes and I managed to get a good look at them and looked scared like they were running from something and then I heard the screeching sound again and I looked to the horizon and saw movement and a lot of it but I couldn't see them clearly but I had to get them to safety and I lifted my staff and red lightning sparked from it and it struck the ground and magic appeared everywhere creating undead wearing black armor and they formed ranks the first line were spearman carrying tower shields and the next three lines were spearmen carrying regular shields after them were five lines of archers and the next 50 lines were swords and axe men and they marched forward and i noticed something was different normally I would be tired after something like that but I’m fine actually I felt stronger than before.
“What's going on” I heard behind and I saw everyone even discord and when they reached the top of the hill they saw the ponies running in the distance and the figure behind them.
“I heard screeching and screaming over here so when I got to the top of this hill I saw them and I saw the figures behind them.” I said and looked to the figures again and I saw it was a army and they were monsters the first line of them were some kind of demon and there front legs were like shields and the rest were some skeleton like monsters made of wood, there were some kind of plant like monster that looked like it grew from a skeleton, there were figures wearing a mask and had a axe on their back and there were many undead but the did not have armor and had poorly made weapons and towards the middle of the army I saw what looked like their leader and he had bodyguards that looked like demonized minotaures with four arms and my army was about to reach the ponies that were running away from them.
Scared pony POV
“We have to keep running or they'll catch up.” My husband said as I held our daughter's hand we kept running and I looked behind me to see the monster chasing us over the horizon and and I bumped into somepony and fell down and I sat up and my daughter hugged me and I could see tears in her eyes as I looked forward and I saw a undead army approaching and whatever warrior had left among us were already in front of us with swords drawn and were ready to fight even though they could barely stand and I held my daughter and closed my eyes and I knew what was going to happen but I heard not fight or sword getting metal and I opened them again to see the undead moving around us but not even looking at us as they split when they reached us and joined back when they got past us.
“What's going on why aren’t they attacking us?” One of the warriors said as he stuck his sword into the ground and walked up to one of them but he was ignored as they walked past him not even reacting to him or us as more ponies walked up to them and they did nothing but walk past us and to the monster behind us and we we saw figures on the hill but two of them weren’t ponies and I saw a hooded figure that looked familiar and he lifted his staff as red lighting shot through the sky and it stuck the ground in front of us as another undead appeared and he looked like a general and he walked towards us and the warrior were holding their weapon at him and he stopped and looked at them and he held out a skeletal hand and it was enveloped in a red glow as their weapons disintegrated.
“There’s no need for that.” He said as he put his arm back under his cape. “I’m here to help I was sent by my master to escort you and the others out of here the undead army will hold off the monsters as long as they can I will take you somewhere they can’t get you.” He said as he stepped to the side and held out his hand to the undead and they made a path through their army to allow us through I was the first one to step forward and my daughter was holding my hand as we walked through and everpony began to follow us and the general lead the way as we left the army behind and we walked up to a door and he opened it and a forest was on the other side I hadn't seen a forest since I was a small filly I said and many of the ponies were rushing past us and ran through the door and to the other side and we entered as well and we were really in a forest.
“My master has requested you stay here till he deals with the problem and returns.
Talion POV
“Ok now that the ponies are safe we can fight without restraint.” I said and I heard eating behind me and I saw discord sitting on a floating chair eating popcorn and I stared at him and he stopped eating and I raised an eyebrow as he swallowed a mouthful of popcorn and I just decided to ignore him and went back to what I was doing.
3rd person POV
The two armies we marching towards each other when they stopped and the leader of the monsters was furious.” Why did you stop keep marching.” He yelled as he made his way to the front of his army and one of his bodyguards followed him.
“It appears there is a undead army ahead of us.” The bodyguard said.
“Probably they need to be ordered again they have always been useless.” The leader said as they reached the front and faced the undead. “Get back to work toy useless piles of bones.” He yelled but they did not move. “I said get back to work.” He yelled again and they lowered their spears and and secured their tower shield in the ground and a few of the front spearmen cleared a path and a hooded figure stepped through the gap.
“They won’t listen to you I am the one who created them and the ponies are already out of your reach.” He said and the leader of the monster created a huge fireball and launched at him only for him to knock it away and he grabbed the ground and pulled up lifting a massive boulder and launched it at the monsters taking out a few dozen of the monsters and the archers fired there bows taking out hundreds but the frontlines were protected by the demons and the leader yelled for them to charge and the hooded figure walked back in the gap and the undead formed a perfect line of shields and their spears were pointing forward as the monsters charged.
Talion POV
‘Now that I have his attention they get get through the door safely.’ I thought as I teleported to a good vantage point to use a sonar spell to get a good estimate of thier numbers and after i cast the spell I had a rough estimate their were over 30 thousand and but my forces were a mere 10 thousand but for some reason I wasn’t worried a bit normally I would be thinks how would I stop all of them and what would happened if they found the doe to the real world but I fell none of that so I decided to just watch the battle as they were about to collide.
Erd person POV the battle field
The monsters were about to make contact with the undead army and we they did most of their front lines were run through by the spearmen but many made it through and started fighting as more monster and undead started to fight and the undead the monster fought alongside with started to act strange as they looked around to see their own kind fighting the monsters and then to each other and one of Talions undead warrior walked up to them and held out a hand and they looked at it and took his hand and they were now fighting with Talions army and against the monster and now Talions army increased by 5 thousand but they were still outnumbered but the were holding their ground as they fought and the tide began to turn as the undead and monsters were equal and then the leader of the monster joined the fight and started to destroy undead left and right as the as the scales were now tiping in the monsters favor again and Talion jumped from his vantage point and joined as well equalizing it again.
Talion POV
‘I have to find their leader’ i thought as we walked through the dead bodies of the battlefield and the undead were protecting we so I could save my energy and I spotted their leader and he was running towards we cutting down the undead around me as I jumped up to dodge his blade.
“Looking for me?” I said and I heard him growl as he charged me when I landed and I frew frostmourne and switched to my warrior armor as our blade collided and the shockwave blast the monster and undead around us away and we started out battle.
Twilight POV
“Can anypony see what is going on?”I asked and every could not see the battle clearly because we were so far away and it wasn’t safe to get any closer.
“I’m going to check on the ponies that went through the door.” Fluttershy said as she flew away and walked into the door to check on them.
“Well this is fascinating he power here seems to have increased and is only grow since he walked through the door.” Discord said as I looked at him and he eyes were binoculars.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“Well I guess i'll just tell you do you remember when Talion said that this world is ruled by death and darkness.” He said and I nodded. “Well somehow he is subconsciously drawing that magic into himself but when he leaves this place all the power he gathered into himself will disappear and return to where it came.” He explained and it was very possible since the world was created by his magic and after he finished the ground began to shake and crake appeared on the ground and red magic leaked out of them. “Ah this is a prime example the magic in the ground is be draw towards him but because of the massive amount of magic be moved it is causing tremor and it has only just begun.
“What do you mean?” I asked
“I guess it is similar to my chaos magic but his magic is more violent and destructive chaos only does what is wants and makes everything unpredictably while his magics of darkness and death will do.” He went into deep thought a the ground shook again. “Well I don’t know what t will do exactly never seen anything like this before.” He said shrugging
Talion POV
Why won't you just die.” The leader yelled as a fireball out of his sword and I blocked it and I felt the ground shake slightly but I ignored it and keep fighting the undead were overrunning the monsters as they pushed forward and I fought harder as I swung my sword and a wave of ice shoot towards him as his sword lit ablaze and he slicest the ice and the monsters behind him were frozen solid as he charged me again and the ground shook violently knocking us off our feet as it continued and we couldn’t get up and the it suddenly stopped and we got up and looked around and the ground burst open not far from the battlefield and a pillar of red magic shoot towards the sky as it stopped and started to form a giant snake and it observed the battlefield almost like it looking and then it saw it as it lunged towards me and I raised my sword but I was to slow and it was too close to defend now and when it touched me I absorbed it and the rest was being pulled out of the ground and absorbed into me and I felt to the ground and I felt normal at first but then I felt a almost uncontrollable mass of power flow into me as I stood up and I was in enormous pain I had never felt this much power before and I couldn't handle it for long so I had to end this quickly and I faced my enemy and he charged again and I focused as much magic as i could into one attack and a large sphere of red magic gathered in my hands as I shoot it at him but instead of the orb moving it shot a massive beam at him and it not only killed the leader of the monster it killed his entire army and I dropped to my knees and one of my undead held my right arm and one the the skeletons that joined us grabbed my left and they helped me up
“Get. Me. Out. Of .Here.” I said and I could barely speak and they put me and a stretcher and started to carry me towards the door and the others joined us and they looked worried and discord appeared above me.
“Good show.” He said clapping as we walked out we we walked by the ponies that got out and Fluttershy was tending to them as we head for minas morgul and we walked through the gate and the citizen were watching from their homes and the streets as we past and they had worried looks on their faces as we found the hospital were i was put in the emergency room and they looked over me and when they were finished they gave me their finding.
“It seems your body was given more magic than it could handle causing you to collapse and damage was extensive and it has made your magic unstable for them time being and it has numbed your nerves to where it could take days for you to walk again and you magic is very unstable so you won’t be able to use it for awhile.” The doctor said as he rummaged through his notes.
“So how long for my magic to stabilize?” I asked
“I don’t know I have never seen a case like this and you have more magic than anypony I have ever seen o there's no tell when.” He said and he left the room.
“Don’t worry you be better soon.” I heard a feminine and it was almost like it was in my head and I looked around to see no one was here so I thought I was hearing things but it spoke again. “Look at your arm.” It said and I saw a snake tattoo on my left arm and it began to move slowly down my arm as it grew in size as it left my arm and became a real snake and it was at full length 15 feet long and it wrapped around the bed and I still couldn't move and it spoke telepathically.
“Don’t freak out.” The snake said.
“What are you?” I asked.
“Well you could say I’m apart of you” The snake said as it laid its head on my lap. “I was born after you arrived on our world when you first arrived it was only a little but when you summoned the undead army all the magic around the world gathered to you and that much magic can’t be sustain in one place without a consciousness same thing with spirits they are masses of magical energy.” The snake said.
“So you were the red snake that was made of magic?” I asked.
“Yes and not only was I powering you I was also powering your undead as well making them temporarily stronger.” She said.
‘That’s why I wasn’t worried about losing” I thought.
‘Yes your subconscious could tell what was going on and calmed you’ She said in my head and I face palmed that I forgot we were speaking telepathically. ‘So after the battle and you collapsed I was bonded to you and that why I didn’t disappear like the magic you were given and I have my own magic as well’ she told me.
‘You said I was going to get better so what do you mean?’ I asked
“When I am fully bonded t you like when I was a tattoo on your arm I can manage your power and magic so I can heal you from the inside and stabilize your magic so it should only take a day or two for you to get better but you should sleep or now and rest so i can work.’ she said and she put her head on my arm and she was sucked in and she looked at me and winked then went still as I closed my eyes and went to sleep
