A Helljumper ending.

Rilik came upon the source of the light as he came upon the last hill, the city in the distance was dark, only illuminated by the bright glow of torches. He moved down the hill and heard a crack of thunder, it was soon joined by the flash of lightning and the sudden downpour of rain.

"How odd, where did this come from?" He thought while he continued towards the town, he came down onto the flat plateau of the land and heard the crash of waves against rock. He had figured this place was on the edge of the cliff, just waiting for the castle to come crashing down.

"How cliche... Rob if you could see this I know you'd be making so many damn old movie references." He chuckled to himself as he walked towards the castle. He sat down on grass and scoped out the town walls with the sniper, they were heavily fortified, guard stations only giving reprieve in a 10 foot gap between them. He noticed the guards moving out of their stations and going down what he guessed to be stairs in the castle.

He unzoomed from the scope and began to stand up, he jogged towards the wall, holding the sniper rifle in his arms. He found bricks out of place and began to climb the mishapen wall, he hears a rustling and climbs faster and pokes his head over the top of the wall and sees a guard arriving.

It was not like the ones he had seen before, it was a dark blue and bat-like wings and it's armor was also a dark black. Once the guard had passed he set foot on the top of the wall, he quickly launched himself over the other side, into the city. He liked this part of the city, barely any visible light for him to be seen in and plenty of alleyways and dakr spots for him to blend in with.

He took a right and head down an alleyway, it was empty but he activated his visor nonetheless, it outlined most of the alley and objects in it. His helmet had static everywhere in his vision, he smacked it once and the static went away, he continued down the alley.

He heard voices as he neared the end of the alley, then a loud central voice became dominant among the others.

"Brothers, Sisters! We must unite and over throw the shackles of the dark-one! He has done nothing but bring upon us war and famine, we need the sun to grow our food! Not the moonlight he so adores!" The voice shouted. Rilik came upon the end of the alley and took cover against the wall and poked his head out, he saw a pegasus preaching to a large crowd that had drawn near. He was inciting revolt amongst the peasants, most of them were wearing straw hats and had pitchforks and farming equipment as weapons.

"If we are to thrive we must over throw him and take back our right to have the sun's rays on our crops! He says the moonlight is the thing that sprouts terror in the hearts of our enemies but all they do is laugh at us with their full stomachs and march on our castles unhindered by the guards to weary and weak to fight back! Our brethren in the other castles are also planning to have their alicorn prince give up the sun and be graced by the moon for sleep! We will have a new age dawn on us full of warmth and brotherhood with our families and friends in the west!" He rejoiced as the crowd started to cheer with him and raised their pitchforks in their hooves.

"Perfect I can just follow the mob until they get to the castle." Rilik thought as a smirk grew under his helmet.

The riot started and guards stood in the street, prepared to fend them off, to only get run over by the angry civilians. The guards converged on the riot with a double effort forming a barricade at the end of the street. The civilians clashed with the guards and Rilik ran amongst the alleys, remaining hidden from anyone who was there, the civilians numbers were strong and they seemed to be winning as the guards were pushed back by the never ending crowd.

As the crowd moved on from the former barricade and toward the castle Rilik took notice of the gruesome scene, guards had picthforks stabbed into them and other various farm tools; the rioters bodies also littered the streets but in greater numbers, spears and sword weapons portruded from the bodies.

Rilik moved behind the crowd at a distance and observed as they made their way towards the castle of the prince of the night. He moved along the shadows as the mob closed in to the castle gates, he saw them lynch a few guards and winced at the horrendous brutality of the equines.

He saw the gates being forced open by the mobs and the ponies starts to flood in like a wave, he moved behind it and snuck into the castle courtyard. He continued to the edge of the cliff, the castle was actually off the cliff and supported by wooden stilts on a narrow ledge of the cliff.

"Well they made my job of screwing them over easier." Rilik thought as he climbed down the rock cliff. He put his foot down on the ledge and began to sidestep towards the stilts. He slowly pulled off his bag and opened it, he snatched out a detonater and 3 blocks of C4, he armed and planted them on the stilts and moved back to the cliff side.

As he approached the cliff he heard rapid hooves against rock and voices getting closer, "Run everyone, their coming, theirs to many for us to fight!"

"We can still try Thunder Clap! We left people behind in their!" Another vocie said as Rilik peaked above the cliff. He saw the rebel equines running in fear and their numbers dwindled since the last time. He saw a grey one with dark blue mane pulling on a black one with a yellow mane, he felt almost felt sorry for these things, almost.

Rilik watched as two flying guards descended on the couple and killed them like animals, the guards' daggers sticking out of the other equines bodies, the guards started to drag the bodies towards the cliff side. Rilik pulled his tranquilizer pistol out and readied for the moment.

The guards tossed the bodies over the edge and chuckled to themselves as Rilik aimed at their throats, he shot twice and they fell to the ground unconcious. He pulled himself over the cliff side and dragged the guards bodies over to the decline, he threw one of and watched as it plummeted towards the water below with a wet smack. He stared and the second body and dragged it to a cliff side that held sharp rocks under it, he threw it over and walked away from the side and heard a smack. He slowly strided to the castle doors and found the prince just behind them, Rilik took note of the equines with paper, pens and scrolls around him, Rilik stopped and gazed at the prince until the royal bastard started to charge him.

"I've seen this before..." Rilik thought as he sidestepped the prince and fired the rest of his tranquilizers magazine into him. The prince tripped as he fell into the effects of the tranquilizer fluid, Rilik dragged the body into the castle stared at the rest of the equines who were cowaring in fear.

"Round everybody or else you all die." He stated coldly as he pointed his tranq towards the paper carrying posse. They said nothing as they ran off into corridors of the castle, Rilik dragging the prince's body by the horn, he made his way into the central atrium of the castle and sat in the throne, the prince's body casually left on the floor.

After a few minutes the equines returned, guards were nowhere and fancy ponies and maids sat in the middle of the atrium. Rilik stood up and looked at the princes body and remembered the revolt and how it ended.

"They call the rich and powerful nobles, but there isn't anything noble about them at all." He thought as he turned his gaze back towards the crowd of equines.

"What is the meaning of this you monstrosity?" An equine had yelled, it was dressed in a fancy tuxedo shirt.

"Who here is a worker, raise your hand..." Rilik asked, his voice icy. No one raised their hooves or moved.

"I said WHO!?" Rilik bellowed as the crowd visibly winced at the outburst, a few raised their hooves, all of them in rags or dirty.

"Leave.... now." Rilik stated as he sat back in the throne, one of the well dressed mares stepped forward.

"Why do they get to leave? Their just peasants, I'll give you all the bits I have if you let me leave." She asked, Rilik scoffed and just ignored the equine, the workers were leaving and the nobles would stay.

"Stay here..." Rilik said as he began to make his way to the door, some of them argued and tried to run, but it was all to late. As the ODST exited the castle he flipped the switched on the detonater, sending the castle careening down into the abyss of water below.

He leaned over and watched as the castle plummeted down the cliff, smashing against the rock wall and landing with a big splash, Rilik smiled, he didn't know why he was but he did. He turned around and saw a face he didn't want to.

Prince Helios'.

The prince had a grin on his face and several guards behind him, Rilik was puzzeled for a second until the coin dropped in his mind.

He was tricked, while he had killed the night prince and the revolt happened Helios and his army would be waiting to strike. He had been played like a fool. He tried to punch the prince but was met with bright hooves colliding with his abdomen, he could feel the sense of gravity pulling him down as he was now plummeting to the water below.
