The Tyrant.
Chapter 5 Summer Sun Celebration part 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLeader is currently laying on the ground, a long streak of dirt leading from the town hall being thrown up. Leader was currently frowning on the ground as he stares up at the now empty moon, his clothes slowly repairing themselves from the burns.
'Hmm, this is a familiar feeling." He thinks to himself as he puts his hands behind his head and throws himself back onto his feet. He then works to brush off the dirt that was now covering him. His mask being readjusted back into place, and his cloak being remade around his neck.
After he finishes cleaning himself off, he looks up and sees several guards being launched out of the town hall and a trail of mist shooting out and into the forest. He grins widely behind his mask and quickly shoots after her, his cloak quickly waving and twisting in the air as he moves quickly through the building, and soon the trees.
His form soon starting to blur slightly as he follows after the mist, becoming a black blur and blending into the forest around him until he was almost invisible.
The mist seems to notice him after a while as it starts to move in crazy ways, truing sharply and going up above the trees every once and awhile. Leader never slowly doing however as he follows the movements as best he can, through the woods and on top of the trees. His cloak somehow never being caught on any of the odd branches.
Eventually, Leader's eyes widen slightly as he watches as around twenty dark blue bolts head directing towards him, causing him to quickly jump over them and use a branch to swing onto the next tree. However, after a glance, he sees a dark glow quickly approaching, and he shoots off once again after the mist. The little bolts still following him as quickly as they can.
Deciding he would rather not be blasted once again, he quickly starts to bob and weaves through the trees, allowing the bolts to impact them instead of him. Several of them continue to follow him persistently, others slam into the trees causing them to catch fire and become even more mangled. Yet ever still they follow, even as he rushes through several brushes, they just blast through.
Finally having enough of this little game of keep away, the human spins on the balls of his feet, and slashes forward quickly, a sword seeming to materialize in his hand as there was nowhere he could have pulled it from. The moment the sword comes in contact with the balls they dissipate in thin air as he stands there. Then with a twirl, the blade vanishes once again, the human turning as he once again shoots off after the mist, leaving behind several trees with new cuts on them.
After several minutes of the human tracking down the mist, he finally finds the thing he had been looking for hours ago. A large castle stood before him, broken and old, most of it being destroyed. The cloaked human stands on the edge of a cliff, looking down at a little rope bridge that was broken, and lets out a little sigh. "Of course she would break the bridge." He says sighing, as he reaches a hand up to softly pinch his forehead shaking his head. "Well, lucky her. I have no intention of fighting her."
He looks down the cliff, specifically at a little cave that had a glow coming out of it slightly. He grins a little at the sight, before taking a single step forward and plummeting down into the cavern. He lands with a loud boom, smashing a little crater into the ground, his hand on the floor as he stays in the pose for a moment.
"Ow." He says as he straightened himself up and hops in place a few times, shaking out his legs a few times. "Ya know, sometimes movies are right. That is a killer on the knees." He mumbles to himself as he continues to wiggle his legs around a few more times, sighing to himself as he looks up at were he feel from.
"I probably don't have long before they get those elements awake again, best use it wisely." He mumbles to himself as he crosses his arms, and starts to make his way into the glowing cave with a small hum to himself.
As he enters the cave, he blinks his eyes a few times and looks around, thinking to himself. Then he sees it, the tree that stands in the middle of the cave, letting out a bright glow. "The tree of harmony." He mumbles to himself as he makes his way over to it, avoiding the vines that litter the cave, and ignoring them as they snap at him a few times.
Soon, he stands before the great tree, looking up at it with a small frown as he does. "Ya know, it took a lot of work to get here now." He says, seemingly speaking to himself as he places his hand softly on the tree, brushing it a few times as he stands there. "That was a clever trick with the forest earlier. Made it very annoying to get here, but of course, I found a way." He says grinning to himself as his glove starts to let off small wisps of smoke.
"You see, all I had to do was follow little Luna here, after all, you couldn't very well keep her from the elements, could you? No, you need her in that castle, so she can be purged of that parasite that's attached to her." Leader says, his gloved hand starting to burn not as more and more spoke starts to come from the area his hand was in contact with.
After a while of just standing there, he pulls his hand back and looks at it, to see it had burned through his glove and into his hand. "These are expensive you know?" He asks glaring a little at the tree as he huffs, shaking his head as he shrugs in a what can you do way.
Then he grins as he looks at the tree, chuckling a little as he pats it a few times, causing it to sizzle at every contact. "But look at you! Having a bunch of vines trying to strangle you and destroy you for a thousand years is exhausting, but here you are! Still standing strong. Gotta admire that determination." He says as he spins around a little and starts to pace back and forth in front of the tree, muttering stuff to himself.
After several minutes of doing this, the tree just pulsing softly every few moments, the human finally stops and tilts his head to the tree. "You know they will fail, all before have fallen." The human says walking up to the tree and resting his head against it, the smoke starting to once again sizzle from his mask. "Celestia and Luna failed, what makes you think those six will succeed?" The human asks as he places a hand on the tree with a soft sigh and shakes his head a few times, a frown deep on his face.
The burning feeling is ignored as he continues to rest on the tree for a while, silence being the only answer to his question. At this point, the human lets out a low growl and slams a fist into the tree, causing a slight burst of energy to leave the tree, burning his hand directly through the glove. "You know, it's hard to have a conversation when only one of us is speaking." Leader growls as he takes a few steps back from the tree, just glaring at it.
"Fine then, I don't need your answers." Leader says, his suit quickly repairing the damage that had been done from it, a deep glare almost being felt behind his mask. "I'll do it myself." He growls as he turns and starts to make his way out of the cave, seeing a bright rainbow colored light coming from outside. This causes him to frown and quicken his pace a little, just in case the tree tries something.
"There is nothing ahead." He hears multiple voices coming from all around him, causing him to frown and tilt his head to the tree. An odd visage standing in front of it, shifting through eight different ponies. "Your road leads to nothing." The tree speaks to him, causing his frown to deepen slightly behind his mask before he shakes his head and continues. "Continue and there will just be darkness." The trees voice booms louder than ever to him, causing him to flinch slightly and stop.
"Then nothing there shall be." He says as he leaves the cave, the trees visage flickering slightly, before vanishing, leaving the tree to just continue fending the vines off. The human making his way up the cliff and heading to the castle, he thinks it's time for a big entrance.

Back up in the castle of the two sisters, the elements had just finished blasting Nightmare moon. They were all tired from staying awake for almost two days straight, and Celestia and just revealed the big surprise of Luna being her sister. The two were currently softly hugging each other as Luna forgave Celestia and vice versa.
This was all to be ruined however as the sound of slow, methodical clapping could be heard echoing throughout the room. Everyone starting to look around confused, before Pinkie with her every present grin points up onto a balcony above them. Her bouncing slightly in place in excitement, as she giggles a little to herself. "Up there, a spooky wooky!" ~~Idon'tthinkI'mgoodwithPinkie.~~
Everyone quickly turns in the direction she was pointing, and several of them gasp as they see Leader sitting on the edge of a balcony, his mask holding an odd ominous glow to it. Celestia instantly gains a look of horror as she sees him, and Luna gains a look of deep sadness and longing.
"Well well well. What do we have here? Six new elements, and two weak princesses. It would be a terrible time if the final boss suddenly appeared with the intent to kill, wouldn't it?" He asks as he grins down at them all, with a much more menacing look than his usual creepy one. A certain yellow pony with pink hair squeaking and hiding behind her friends.
Celestia quickly stalls herself and her horn starts to glow bright orange as she growls up at the human, an actual growl at that. "You will not harm my little ponies, leave this place. You have no right to be here!" She growls as she grinds her teeth together, Luna looking between the two worriedly, knowing that neither she nor Celestia, not even the elements had the energy to fight the human before them.
"Ya know, that's quite a rude thing to say, Celestia, especially to someone who holds the lives of the elements in his hands." Leader asks tapping his fingers lightly against the railing of the balcony, glaring down at them. Some of the ponies seemed like they wanted to call out in outrage, but were silenced and frozen at a glance, them suddenly feeling like they were being crushed.
"Stop it, your qualms are with me. Leave them alone, understand?" Celestia growls as she stares down at you, her form glowing as her horn continues to glow brightly as she stands there, a deep glare on her face. "How did you escape, you were-" She is cut off, however, as she suddenly feels a sharp pain on the side of her face, and hears the cracking of stone. She glances back to see a deep blade installed into the ground, Leader having not even moved seemingly.
Leader continues to stare down at Celestia as she stares up at him, a small frown on his face as he sits there. "I know very well what you did to me Celestia, and I know very well what you wanted to do. However, I am not as foolish as you seem to think I am, especially if you thought I would stay in that place forever." Leader says as he softly kicks his legs as he continues to sit there on the railing.
"Lucky for you, I have no intention to kill you! Great, isn't it?" He asks, a deep sarcasm in his voice as he talks to her. "For you see, I simply came here to make an announcement." He says grinning as he climbs to his feet and stands on top of the railing, balancing perfectly on top of it, and then throwing his hand out in a very flamboyant way. "For you see, from this day on, Equestria is at war!" He shouts out to the room, pointing at the ceiling with a large grin on his face, not even caring to look down at the looks of horror on every one of their faces. "For you see Celestia, I've recently gathered myself an army, a revolution if you will. One that will throw you off your oh so wicked throne." He says grinning down at them with his eyes wide and his grin even wider.
"You can't!"
"Oh, but I can and have!" He calls out as he grins widely at the shocked looks on his face, spinning on the balls of his feet and jumping back on the balcony. "You better get ready Celestia, and bring your A game, because I plan to." He says casting one more glance back at them, specifically Luna who just fidgeted under his look, a look of sadness, and pity? on her face. "And a pleasure as always Luna, you look well." He says in a slightly softer tone, before vanishing into the shadows, allowing the normal ponies to move once again.
"Hey! You get back here!" Before anyone could stop her, Rainbow Dash shoots after the cloaked human. Vanishing into the darkness, and suddenly a wet cutting noise is heard, and Rainbow is sent flying back and lands on the floor several feet away from her friends. A large bleeding cut on one of her hooves, one she presumably used to attempt to grab him with.
After the human had left, the ponies began to panic over Rainbow, and Celestia quickly cast a healing spell on her, healing the cut slightly and stopping the blood. They all began to ask questions about what had happened after they felt Rainbow was safe and not about to drop dead any second. Celestia stayed silent throughout their barrage of questions, just staring at where the human had left.
"We're heading back to Ponyville. Not one of you is to speak of this, understand?" She asks turning her glare to them, causing them to freeze and nod quickly. After she gets confirmation from them she starts to lead them back through the woods and into the town. Luna was still silent as she follows behind, glancing around worriedly and looking at her sister worriedly.
The day ended with a party Pinkie threw to cheer everyone up, and Celestia allowed Twilight to stay in the town, before rushing off back to Canterlot. She had to prepare her kingdom for war after all. Luna, on the other hand, stayed silent the entire time, looking very sad and worried about both her sister and something else. Leader returned to his base on a train he had jumped on after arriving in the town, highjacking it and sending it on a never-ending course. Him jumping off and letting it continue on without him when he arrived in Manehattan.
