Children Of Madness
The Fortress Of Pain
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe Main Six hold the new weapons forged with the oils of the Blood blossoms and turned into humans feeling the power of these weapons. Each a blade branded by there marks of harmony. The power flows through them and its strong, but it feels right to them. Twilight teaching the others how to walk on two legs since she has the most practice on them thanks to her friends at Canterlot high. AppleJack looking at Celestia and ask's, " So what do we all do now that we got these here swords? ". Celestia looking at the barrier and sighs. " I am not sure Fear is formidable. It took everything I had to face him and if it wasn't for a good friend, I would not be standing here. ". Celestia says to them.
Luna looks at her and asks's, " Sister there has to be a way to beat him. Fear has power behind him but he is not unkillable. ". Celestia thinks about the last attack by Fear she then remembers what Silver told her about his fight with Fear. Celestia then say's, " Silver he fought Fear and as he was being choked with a broken spear, with the last of his strength made the spear fly into Fears back. Silver said Fear was in tremendous pain and his ghost arm vanished. ". Twilight then goes up and say's, " If that is the case then maybe that's a weak spot? ".
" Not maybe. A major weakness. ". Worst says as he walks in closing his black book. Luna with anger in her eyes ask's, " Where did you go? ". Worst looks at her as he stands before them and looks at Celestia and Twilight. Worst then say's, " I have been questioning our little prisoner in the caves. The back of Fear and every madness child is a massive nerve center. From what Emma has told me a hard enough strike to the back can null the powers and put the child or Fear in mass pain. ".
Twilight looks at the Fortress in the sky in the center of this blood rain. Twilight asks, " Did she say how we can take down that eyesore in the sky? ". Worst nods and say's, " She told me Fear controls where it flies but to take it down you have to beat his Devious Six. ". They look confused and Celestia looks surprised. Rainbow out of the silence asks, " What is the Devious Six? ".
Worst explains to them that the Devious Six are Fear's most powerful children, children who can decimate an army. Worst explains that each Devious six has a symbol that keeps the fortress up and strong. Celestia then says, " It does not matter about that we need to end that monster. ". The others nod all but Worst. " That may be a problem on its own. ". Worst says to them and Applejack looks at him and asks's, " Why? We have the weapons that can actually put a hurting to this varmit. ".
Worst shakes his head and says, " The weapons true give you the ability to hurt them, but it doesn't mean squat if you cant land a lethal blow to him or the Devious six. ". Celestia sighs and says, " Its true Fear is skilled in combat barely anything we threw at him landed on him, and when it did it didn't do a thing to him. ". The Main Six nod as they go to talk with Emma for a plan to go inside the fortress.
They meet Emma outside of the barrier as she looks up at the Fortress. Rainbow Dash looks up at it and says, " So how are we going to get up there? Cause I know me and Flutters cant carry everyone quick enough. ". Twilight then says, " I'm not making wings ever again. ". Emma then motions them to hold on and stay quiet as she puts her hand on the ground and her eyes glow as the ground shakes softly and it rises as they rise on a platform of rock. Emma then brings the rock to the back of the fortress and they enter through a window and now are inside the devil's domain.
The air hot, heavy with so much negative energy flowing through this place. Emma then says, " Wait. I almost forgot to do this. ". Emma then goes to each of them and presses on there for heads and saying something in a language they don't understand, after doing so their heads feel odd for a quick moment then feel fine. " What did you just do to us, dear? ". Rarity askes rubbing her for head. Emma looks at them and says, " This barrier will make sure fathers madness doesn't end up making you kill each other. His madness is powerful just being around him long enough and it will drive you to insanity. ".
They nod and understand as they sneak around this fortress. They pass by Fear's bedroom and Flutter shy hears crying and goes to the rugged stone doors. As she pushes the stone door Emma turns around and watches and is scared and goes to her quick and trying to be quiet saying, " No, don't open that door. ". Too late though as Flutter shy opens the doors and what she finds inside is not a bedroom but where fear is getting more power from. The walls covered with all matters of life being tortured, in cages, chains, or nailed to the wall. Many are dead the others less lucky are in tears and cry out for help.
Flutter Shy cries as what she sees and the other see and they are in shock and horror. Emma has some tears, "I'm sorry I was hoping we wouldn't pass by this horrible place. ". Emma says and Rainbow punches Emma hard and says, " You knew about this and never said anything?! ". Emma holds her cheek and Twilight tries to calm her down. Emma then says, " I'm sorry, this place is horrible but when father is dead they can finally be at peace. ". Twilight looks at her and asks, " Is there any chance to save them? ". Emma with some tears shakes her head and says, " In his Fortress of pain the only way for them to find peace, is if death picks them. ". Emma helps them out and closes the door and says under her breath, " I'm so sorry to all of you. ".
They soon reach the throne room and enter it with caution as Emma can sense Fear's presence inside. They enter and see Fear on his throne his eyes closed, his body motionless. Emma looks and says quietly, " Father is communicating with one of the Devious six. This is our best chance to kill him. ". They nod and softly move so they are all around Fear ready to make him into a pincushion. " You know its very rude to barge into another's home without asking permission. ". They see Fear's eyes open as he says that and he claps and they all go flying into the walls. Fear stands and looks at the Main Six with a grin and says, " here we are again my little ponies. Are we ready for the climax of this war? ". They look confused as Fear chuckles as they are dragged on the wall to the balcony opening and see the barrier cracking and then shatters and Fear laughs.
