Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Princess!" Twilight gasped, bowing. The others quickly followed suit.
"Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student. I felt the magic surge, and came as quick as possible. You could tell who that magic belonged to also couldn't you?" Celestia asked Twilight.
"Yes, Princess, I did. It belonged to Nightmare Moon." Twilight said, trying to keep her voice steady. The others gasped.
"Nightmare Moon? But how? I thought we defeated her." Rarity said. Celestia sadly shook her head.
"No, you didn't defeat her. You only weakened her." she said, "Whatever these things are, Nightmare Moon brought them here for a reason. I can't be sure, but we have to be careful." Then to Artemis and his group she said, "I'm sorry, but until we figure out why Nightmare Moon has brought you here we must take you into custody."
--
"Princess!" exclaimed the purple one as she bowed down. Good, thought Artemis, someone who's in charge. But then the conversation quickly went downhill, and they mentioned someone by the name of Nightmare Moon several times. Apparently this Nightmare Moon is their enemy, and they think we're in league with him, thought Artemis, not good.
Then, when he thought things couldn't get any worse, when the Princess said that she would have to take them into custody, Holly's gun hand was instantly rearing, and before he could do anything, three wide bore shots knocked out all the armored ponies. The alicorn reared up in surprise. "Very well then, I didn't want to resort to this, but I shall have to use force." she said charging her horn with magic.
--
It all happened so fast, that the Princess didn't have time to blink. Suddenly some kind of beam knocked out all of her guards. Twilight and her friends let out loud gasps while the Princess reared back in surprise. She hadn't wanted it to come to this, but it had.
"Very well then, I did not want it to have to come to this, but I shall have to resort to force." she said, charging the magic in her horn for a knockout spell. She pointed her horn towards the creatures, and released the magic. What happened next would be burned into all the ponies memories.
--
Oh my, thought Artemis, this is not good. Just as the Princess released a beam of magic, though, N1's runes started swirling as his eyes started to glow, and a beam of his own shot out, colliding with the Princess's. For a second they looked like they were evenly matched, but then N1's beam started to push her's back.
There were sparks flying everywhere, and all in all it looked like some cheesy movie effects. After a little bit of fighting the Princess grew tired, and gave out. When the beam reached her it surrounded her, picking her up 3 feet off the ground. "That's good N1, put her down." Artemis told him.
N1 returned back to normal as he set her down on the ground, panting. "Now," Artemis said, brow furrowed in annoyance, switching to Gnommish, "I believe this can be solved in a diplomatic manor. Are you willing to listen to us?"
--
Their relief that the Princess was here turned into pure horror as they watched the scaly creature create his own beam of magic which counteracted own beam. It escalated to pure terror as the creature overpowered her, and levitated her with it's magic. They were sure something terrible would happen when the black maned one said something to the scaly one.
The scaly one set her down gently, and she let out a breath of relief. Then suddenly the black maned one spoke, in Equestrian no less, "I believe this can be solved in a diplomatic manor. Are you willing to listen to us?" Even Celestia was partially surprised at this. They had shown to be capable of talking, but not in Equestrian. She reluctantly nodded.
