Talion in Equestria
Chapter 47
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“All right time for round two,” I said as she fired another beam and I launched my own and as they collided the following explosion caused a massive burst of energy that pushed all the water around us away and created a massive dome of energy around our battlefield she stopped both of our beams by sending another orb in the at the center of the contact of our beams causing an explosion sending both of us off balance with the shock wave.
After I fell to the ground and regained my footing I had to dodge another spell from the demon lord and she was quick to fire another spell this one seemed to create a type of acid I created a shield and the acid coated it but soon started to melt it.
I jumped away from the shield as the acid began to get through and the spell that sustained the shield collapsed.
I created a spear made of black flames and threw it at her, she created a shield to block it but it was not ordinary flame. When it came in contact with the shield it managed to block most of it but the end of the spear managed to get through and landed on her arm and started growing she screamed in pain and she used a water spell to try to put it out only for it to do nothing as the black flame started to spread on her arm she had no choice but to cut it off.
Her arm fell to the ground as the black flames completely consumed it turning it to ashes.” What the hell was that?!”She yelled and I smirked and answered.
“It’s called hell flame it is a fire so dangerous it can burn the very soul of those it consumes and it appears your shield was not able to withstand it so,” I said as spears made of black flames appeared in my hand and her eyes widened in panic as she created more shields most of them were behind other shields clever she thinks if one can’t stop them maybe multiple can.
I threw the spears and they traveled in a right beside each other the shields managed to block them but they barely held the demon lord started levitating all of the coral in the surrounding area and they started to fly towards me at a rapid speed I could not cast a shield that could stop all of them in time so I started charging up my magic and as they closed in a ball of energy formed in between my hands and it exploded sending a shock wave destroying the coral and when I looked at her she had healed her arm but it was limp so it will be some time before she can use it and she may be powerful but her skills are unrefined she must not have had much of a challenge with other demons so she never practiced.
I unsealed some of my speed and in seconds I was in front of her and I punched her in the gut sending her flying and she hit the dome casing cracks to appear and water started to leak in and she cracks started to slowly spread but it was holding for now I have to end this the demon lord regained her balance as she conjured a sword made of magic and it glowed red and I summoned my bound sword and she charged me her first move was a downward slash followed by a side slash I dodged the first one and blocked the next one with my sword she was faster than I excepted but it was no problem to block or dodge her attacks with my new speed she tried thrusting her sword forward but I hopped to the side and swung my sword she tried to jump back but my sword cut her chest a massive cut from her shoulder to her hips it was not too deep but she was losing blood.
“Damn you.” She said as she tried to heal her wound it was very slow but I did not let her have time to recover as I continued to strike at her and she struggled to defend herself.
He back was up against the cracking dome and the water started to soak her as she touched the dome it cracked even more as it spread faster across it casing several spots to break allowing the sea water in and it started to fill up with water it was already waist level I had to end this now she looked at me with pleading eyes not to kill her but I didn't have a choice I ran her through with my sword and he soul went to the orb in Minas Morgul and now I turned my attention to the city and it was being overrun I hurried back and I saw the guard despite trying to fight the demons and the mistmen were holding their ground but they were losing some of their comrades I teleported to Noa in the castle and she nearly screamed when she saw me.
“Get your people to the portal I will alert the guards to supercharge the portal with as much magic as they can so they can all get out my undead will hold them off,” I said and she nodded and alerted the guards and went to get her daughter.
‘Captains,’ I thought telepathically.
‘Yes sir.’ They answered.
‘I need you ro pump as much magic as you can into the portal so we can get everyone out of here and get death knights over here so they can form a dome around the portal with their massive shields.’ I told them and they got to work the death knights were already coming through they were slow underwater though but they were forming the dome only allowing the guards and citizens through the dome into the portal they were climbing on top of each other to form the dome but it was working on blocking the demons new weapons I created more mistmen to hold off the demons and the demons continued to destroy the city and began to break columns that held up several buildings and were now working on the ones that held the castle in place. I teleported to the dome of shields and waited for everyone to get through several mistmen came back carrying children, babies, and wounded adults.
“Get them to the other side and return here to help fight,” I said and they did so.
I used a sonar to make sure no one else was in the city except the demons once I was sure I went through the portal and so did the death knights and I cut the connection to Noa former city.
some of the citizens were either getting critical treatment or holding thier loved ones close to them as they cried for the ones they lost in the city.
Novo was just standing there with her daughter with a sad look on her face as she looked at her people and the people here were only a small percentage of them all of the others were teleported to the other cities so there could be room for them all and they could be treated as soon as possible.
“Why did this happen.” Novo as she collapsed on the ground in tears and I went over to comfort her.
“It’s ok you did what you could just be glad we saved who we could, ” I said.
“I didn’t do anything all I could do was watch as my people were slaughtered right in front of me and you risked your life and your kingdom to save us not only you came to warn us right after you found them.” She said and her daughter tried to help her as well.
“It’s ok mother at least the people survived such an attack.” She said.
“You will be given a room in the tower until we can retake the city.” I said and they stood up and Novo just looked at the ground as the guards led them to a room in the tower.” Make sure they are all taken care of.” I told the new guards and they all saluted and went to work.
I went to get dinner ready for everyone I created undead cooks like the ones that I used during the war with Daiin when I had dinner with Hecale and in an hour it was ready and everyone gathered and Celestia and Luna came by they have been busy in Canterlot lately.
Novo and Skystar came in next they all sat down.” Today we are having a Caesar salad with dragon fruit juice.” I said and I was surprised when I first found there were fruits from my world here that is why I decided to add it in today's menu so I could have a taste of home.”For me and Hecale we will have manticore steak with barbecue sauce and with a side of plain salad.” I said and she smiled as her plate was put in front of her and I looked at Novo she was just poking her foot and she got some salad on her fork but she only watched as it slowly slipped off and back into the bowl.
Skystar was taking this better than her mother she was eating her food but still had a sad look on her face there was nothing I could do for now I will talk to them later in private.
After dinner, I asked Novo and Skystar to meet me in the living room and we sat down.
“I would like to talk to you two about what happened,” I said and they looked at the floor.
“Yes I have calmed down a bit but I just can't get rid of the feeling that this happened because I got too confident that they could not reach us,” Novo said as she closed her eyes and relaxed a bit.
“Well, you and your people can stay here as long as you want,” I said and they gave me a small smile.
“Somethings has me thinking about their attacks,” I said and Novo then became serious.
“What is it?” She asked and I pulled out a map and laid it on the table it marks the places they attacked.
“See anything?” I asked and she looked it over and gave me a confused look.
”What is it?” She asked
“They are all evenly spaced between each other if we measure them like this we could figure out where they strike next,” I said as I did the measurement and then found something very bad. “This can’t be,” I said as I doubled checked it and Novo and Skystar looked worried and I started drawing what I thought it was it was a pentagram.
“What is it?” Novo asked.
“It’s a pentagram this is what she is using to get here she has been attacking capitals to create this so she could cross over from Tartarus I need to warn Phaenna and send my undead their immediately,” I said as I rushed out of the room in a hurry and contacted Phaenna and informed her of this new information and of my undead’s arrival to increase her defenses.
Circe's POV
“Goddes there is an emergency.” A low ranked demons as I got dressed from a bath.
“What could be so important,” I said as I fixed my hair.
“Talion has figured out your plan.” He said and I growled in frustration but I had a thought the barrier was between I could send a copy of myself to the world of mortal and learn Talions weakness all I had to do was alter the appearance of my clone to look like somepony else she thought as the demon left and she got to work but with Talions undead now in the griffin capital my demons won't get anywhere near it without dying before they get there it might take a month for the gate to build enough energy to let army that size pass through it but I need to make a convincing back story for my clone.
Talion POV
The undead we now in the griffin capital and were keeping watch for any demons and if they see they the will rush out to meet them I don't know what they do to set the points so the only thing to do is to keep them from even reaching it will hopefully it will stop them.
“Now that we have sent the majority of our undead we must build up our forces again so they don't attack us when our army is away,” I said and the liches started working on creating more undead to protect minas morgul and my other cities the new guards were doing well but they are new and my enchanted armor are not strong enough on their own to fight a demons horde but before I could think of anything else a guard burst into the room.’What is it?” I asked.
“There are strange plants invading the city.” He said I knew what the plants were and I looked out a window and saw black plants spreading through the city.
“Get the guards and tell them to get torches and burn the plants and I want undead to get waster to incase any house catch fire with the plants,” I ordered and he left and I could hear screaming from the city and I jumped out the window and landed unharmed on the ground and I started burning the plants with my magic.
The guards arrived and started burning them and I teleported to ponyville to catch Twilight and the others before they entered the forest.
When I saw them it seems Twilight already drank some of Zecora’s potion mixed with her magic her eyes glowed white as she murmured words and cried at some parts and it ended and she looked at Discord.
“You did this you’re the reason Celestia and Luna are missing.” She accused which was true he planted these things.
“Well it was a long time ago and you can’t expect me to remember something that long ago not only that I was trapped in stone most of that time.” He said as he sat in a floating chair and I cleared my throat to get their attention they looked at me in a few seconds.
“From what I have gathered the source of the plants is near the tree of harmony,” I said and they gasped except discord.
“Ah yes the tree harmony,” Discord said as he rubbed his chin.”Its power is what kept it suppressed for so long and with the elements gone it weakened allowing them to thrive,” He stated.
“So the only way for the plants to be destroyed is to return the elements to the tree of harmony,” I said and the girls looked sad.”What’s wrong?” I asked.
“It’s just we might need the elements again and they are what brought us together in the first place if they weren’t here we would have never been friends with each other and you would not be our stallion.” She said and the rest of the girls agreed.
“But the tree of harmony has given you the power to evoke it without the elements so even if they are gone physically they will always be with you in the form of friendship, ” I said and Twilight puff her cheeks.
“Hey giving advice about friendship is my thing,” She said and we all laughed and so did she but now it was time to get serious and we entered the forest discord stayed behind so he could enjoy the chaos that was occurring. We traveled through the forest and got two the tree there were to figures that were wrapped in vines and plants and as the vines tried to grab the girls I burned them and once the elements were back in their rightful place the plants began to wither away and Celestia and Luna were freed.
“Well that was easier than I thought it would,” I said and the others agreed and we left the cave but before I could leave some barrier kept me from leaving I tried using my magic but it deflected off
“Talion what’s going on?” Celestia said as she tried to run towards me only to be stopped by the barrier that prevented me from leaving.
“I don’t know,” I said and the tree of harmony began to glow and started getting brighter and then a flash of light blinded me and when I recovered I found myself in the same void where I meet Faust.
“Hello, Talion.” I heard behind me and I turned around and saw Faust behind me just standing there with a smile on her face.
“Good Evening,” I said as I turned to face her.
“I have good and bad news.” She said.
“Bad news first,” I said.
“The veil has weakened to where Circe can create a clone of herself and send it here it will have nowhere near have the power she has but it is powerful but it won't be her either so she will have to create a personality for it.” She said then she said the good news.”But my power is not as destructive and chaotic as hers so I can come to the human world and be with my daughters because my power is more stable and pure it will not affect the world of mortal like Circe’s would.” She said that was good news for everyone with Faust here we could stop the demons for good.
“So when are you coming?” I asked and she smiled.
“Now when you were blinded by the tree of harmony it opens a pathway to my dimension I will come through shortly.”She said and I was blinded again and I found myself back in the cave and a figure stepped through the tree. She was covered in pure light but it faded quickly as she left the tree it was Faust Celestia and Luna were crying as the looked at her mother and Celestia fell to her knees as she put her hands over her mouth.
“Mother,” Luna said as she wiped away tears from her eyes and they ran towards her and with her here the barrier that once was there vanished and they hugged their mother.
“Yes it’s me and I’m not going anywhere.” She said as she hugged them.
“We should give them some time alone,” I told the girls and we left the cave to give them privacy it was a few minutes before they came back from the cave with Faust.
“Faust will accompany me to canterlot so she can get better acquainted with the world then we will come over and show her the children,” Celestia said as she led her mother out of the forest.
