Old Storm
Storm Massacre
Previous ChapterNext ChapterHmm, it seems like my landing was a success as I am now in what looks like a forest, for now I need to accustom myself with the surroundings before coming into contact with the inhabitants, and to do that I would need to absorb a part of this forest. The reason for that is that I can somehow feel what I absorbed, both living and dead, so if I absorb a part of this forest, then I can feel accustom around here.
But there’s a problem because I need to be in my destroyer form to do that, I tried to ask the command block to make it without the requirement of being in a destroyer form but it seems like it would be impossible as the command block only regulates my life energy as well as transporting me wherever I can’t go with my current powers. For some reason, it only wants to do what it wants so I can’t really order it to do what I want, even if we are forever connected.
I don’t really mind turning into my destroyer form, but as the name implies, I destroy and I wouldn’t want that to happen to the inhabitants that I’m desperately trying to befriend, the only way to destroy without the inhabitants fearing me, is to destroy what they loathe.
As if the Supreme Beings that created everything were trying to help me, I noticed that the local capitol was being attacked by some kind of invaders, the unimaginably not detailed information I got from the command block states that Canterlot, the current capitol, is being invaded by Storm creatures that is led by Tempest Shadow, a mare under the Storm King, the ruler of the Storm creatures.
From the bit of information I have, I suspect the Storm King to try and overthrow the current rulers and take their energy, “magic” in the local term, and to do that he use a staff that can control the weather it seems.
Now I have my target of destruction as well as a mean of having information through absorption and having the kingdom indebted to me, what a lucky Mob am I. As for my entrance, I guess I could just go from this Forest directly to where the invasion takes place so that the Everfree Forest would be the first place the inhabitants would look into, now, how should I go?
I’m asking this because I have multiple forms formed after many many eons of evolution, and because of this, I don’t really know which form I should take. The forms of a stellar scale should obviously be out of the question, but then again, all of my forms takes a humongous space to fit in and a planet wouldn’t be able to hold any of them… Wait, there’s one… but, it’s my second evolutionary stage, the very first form of the “destroyer” stage, but it is still very unstable and I don’t know if I would be able to hold the absorption that happens when in this form.
Well, I’ll try to hold the absorption until I arrive at Canterlot, at least I can let out the absorption effect when I come across one of these Storm Creatures in the way, for now I should unable the tractor beams and the absorption.
Now it should be fine, let’s start the transformation.
Third Person’s POV
Everfree Forest…
The Everfree Forest became very active since the arrival of this newcomer from the sky and above, every animals and even beasts that were living near the crash site were very curious about what was happening, for the first time in the Everfree Forest, every animals and beasts alike were at the same place without blood spilling on the floor.
As for why none of them dared to raise a claw at each other was because of the uncomfortable and fearful feeling that the being at the center of the crash site gave off, this was a new feeling for each forest dwellers present here, their instincts told them to run away as far as possible, they even screamed to leave the forest for another habitat but none of them listened to the instinct that saved their lives so many times before.
There in front of them was a single pony, it’s true that it was taller than the strongest pony existing but did it matter to them? No, because they had an Ursa Major to their side and they all thought that it was enough to not listen to their instinct, then, the pony started to move and all of a sudden, an earthquake started and a cloud of purple and black smoke started to rise from below the pony.
At this moment, all of the Forest dwellers knew now why their instincts screamed at them to flee even if the pony seemed harmless, it was because this pony was not a pony at all, in fact it was something none of them knew about but they all had the same word to describe this… Monster.
It’s true that the majority of them were called monster, but they weren’t as threatening and monstrous as the being in front of them right now, in fact they would call themselves cute in comparison to this monster.
An entity of pure destruction stood before them, no, flew before them, it was so big that it was covering the whole sky, the poor animals, instead of seeing the warm embrace of the sun, now saw only the despair and hopelessness of the shadow that covered the forest, the only light visible were three orbs looking down at them, these were eyes of a beast that feared nothing, that respects nothing, that cared for nothing and that destroys everything, beams of unknown properties were shot through these purple eyes as mouths with teeths so sharp that it could rip the very fabric of reality started to appear below these unholy eyes.
The only thing that kept them from running was the overwhelming feeling of fear and that the beast seems to not be interested in them, until a loud growl mixed with a howl came out from one of it’s terrifying head officially announcing the first and hopefully last running for their lives, the beast itself didn’t mean to scare off the animals, it was just seeing if its voice was like the one it had from eons ago.
“It seems to be working… Let’s head off to Canterlot now.” The three heads of the beast said in unison as tentacles started to sprout out from its monstrous body, the tentacles were pushing away any and all living things from the beast’s way so that no harms may come to them, the ponies of Ponyville who were the first to notice this monster were running around as usual as the beast flew over the town, the tentacles were quite useful to help the ponies that were hurt or stuck because of the panic and those who were saved by them would remember this for the rest of their lives even if none of the inhabitants stopped panicking when the beast was finally out of the little town.
The beast came across two town on its way to Canterlot, the first was Ponyville where everypony were panicking and trying to run away from the beast who actually helped those in need when it came in town, the second however was not as peaceful as Ponyville, it was Cloudsdale, the city in the sky where the air force is mostly gathered here. But they were no match for the passing monster who didn’t pay any attention to the spears and arrows thrown at it, in fact it quite enjoyed itself as the projectiles were only used as food for him, same as in Ponyville, it helped those in need even if it didn’t have to.
As he came closer to Canterlot, he started to notice the invading airship and immediately started to launch multiple wither heads as well as activating its tractor beam to absorb anything that belong to the Storm Creatures, everypony who witnessed this complete massacre were to shocked and paralysed to do anything, the Storm Creature’s settlement were burning, their ships infected with an unknown disease, the tornado created by the Storm King was even absorbed by this monster and every invader were absorbed through the tractor beams.
When all of that ended, the beast retreated back into the Everfree Forest while taking the same path that he came from and the ponies in the way were surprisingly not afraid anymore because they all witnessed what the beast did to the Storm Creatures, so they all just made way for the beast to pass through, colts and fillies even smiled at it but sadly, the beast never looked at them as it knew that the tractor beams would end their lives so the three heads were only looking straight when it returned into the Everfree Forest.
When it arrived in the Everfree Forest, it made a loud howl as well as emitting a blinding purple light that turned him back into a pony.
Everypony in Equestria would talk about this event, saying that “the Everfree Forest Guardian saved all of us” or that “the embodiment of vengeance smitten the Storm Creatures”. This story wasn’t spread to only Equestria but all across the world, naming this event the “Storm Massacre”.
Twilight Sparkle’s POV
Canterlot Castle, 2 hours ago…
Me and my friends were fighting the Storm King, ever since he came, all was ruined but now we had a chance to beat him, if only we could take a hold of this staff! Because of it, a massive tornado started outside of the Castle that is ravaging Canterlot!
“That’s mine!” The Storm King said, it might be his but because he use this staff for evil than there’s no other choice than taking it by force!
But then, the glass where the staff was stuck in broke flinging the staff into the tornado, this left us with wide eyes of shock and horror, no, not the fact that the staff was flung into a tornado, it’s the fact that the tornado itself was stopped when an enormous and monstrous beast came through it, and not only was it powerful enough to withstand AND undo a tornado! It was actually helping us out!
The Beast had extremely long tentacles that he used to help the ponies go into safety, it had three heads with a single eye and a mouth full of terrifying teeths, its eyes were shooting what looks like a tractor beam aimed all around Canterlot, but it surprisingly only attracted the Storm Creatures around the city, not only that but some kind of skull of unknown animal were launched from its mouths all aimed at the Storm Creatures ships burning them down in the process, not only that but when one of the ship was destroyed, all of its materials and component were absorbed by the Beast.
Overall, it was a complete massacre for the Storm Creatures, upon seeing that, me and my friends noticed how gentle it was when it carried the ponies to safety, we could even see what looks like colts and fillies on top of its body with one of the tentacles catching them if they fell. It was really shocking to see such a terrifying beast being so kind and thoughtful towards ponies which would only mean that it was here to help us and get rid of the Storm Creatures.
When I looked back to see the Storm King, I saw him with eyes full of despair, I admit that even I felt bad for him, I guess it made sense if you see your subjects being utterly destroyed by an unknown monster coming out of nowhere. Speaking of Monster, the beast looked in our direction, no, it looked at the Storm King and had its tractor beam picking up the Storm King directly towards it, we couldn’t see what happened to him as the beast body wouldn’t allow light to reflect.
When the rampage was finished, the beast carried everypony to their respective families so it would mean that it was kind of intelligent. Wait, what am I thinking about? This is HUGE! An unknown beast?! Unknown species?! When it went back it actually went back to the Everfree Forest meaning that this beast was living in the Everfree Forest all that time unnoticed?! I need to tell the Princess about this!
When I turned back to go find the Princesses, I was surprised to see them just behind me looking at what we were seeing for the last twenty minutes, all of them had different expressions, Celestia and Luna shared a look of surprise while Cadence had a look of curiosity.
“Princess! Did you see that?! This Beast just save Canterlot! No, Equestria!” I exclaimed excited of the fact that we were saved at the last minute.
“It seems so, what do you think sister?” Luna said while looking at her sister who just stare in contemplation before finally moving her mouth.
“What we witnessed is something never seen before, we need to make sure that this beast is harmless to the ponies.” She said never turning away from the leaving beast whose growl could still be heard in Canterlot. I don’t know why she has so much hatred towards this being who just save the whole kingdom
“What do you mean auntie? We clearly saw it help your subjects while taking care of the invading forces!” Cadence exclaimed, I understand why she did that as I too couldn’t understand why Celestia had this much cautiousness towards the very being who helped and save the ponies that she loves so much.
“It’s not safe yet, its power is a threat to the whole world, you saw it yourself, it destroyed a whole army as well as absorbing a natural disaster as if it was nothing, we must prepare in case it returns.” Celestia was saying something ridiculous! Sure the beast was powerful enough to wipe a whole continent I’m sure of it, but did it actually harmed anypony?
“Bu-” I stopped when we all heard a powerful roar..? or is it a growl? or a howl? In any case, we heard a terrifying sound coming from the Beast and when we looked at it, we saw it looking at the sky then a blinding purple light covered our vision, when we got our vision back, the beast was nowhere to be found.
“Twilight, we need to cancel the concert, this is a serious matter.” Celestia said firmly before turning away to prepare whatever she was preparing.
“I’ve never seen Celestia like this before, have you?” I asked the two other Alicorns.
“No...well yes, that was when… when I was Nightmare Moon, but even then, she didn’t make a face as serious as this one..” Luna said, that shocked me greatly because that would mean that Celestia sees this beast as more of a threat than Nightmare Moon, meaning that she would use everything she can to seal or destroy it.
“We… we will go rest Twilight, we’re tired.” Rarity said making all the girls nod in agreement, I must admit that I myself is tired from all of this.
“All right, we will talk about that tomorrow then.” I said before heading to my room to sleep. Many many questions were flooding my mind right now. What was this beast? What are its powers? How did it lived in the Everfree Forest unnoticed for all that time? And, how old was it? But now I need to sleep, it was a long day after all.
Author's Note
Here goes the chapter, yep, our boi the unkillable Wither Storm is a pretty convenient public service officer! In all seriousness, I did this because why not? If I change the plot even though I already made Wither boi kind of "docile" it would ruin everything, also, tentacles are convenient, tractor beams are convenient and a body of litteral obsidian is even more convenient.
Also, the destroyer form will only pop up in major events like season 8 finale or season 9 intro and finale... oops, spoilers. Ah, and also don't expect me to describe and mimic the personalities of the main cast accurately because I'm really not good into the omnipotent stuff, I'm only good with my OC so don't expect much when there's the main six and everpony else from the show.
That's pretty much all I have to say so I hope you enjoyed the chapter as well as enjoy the story so far. And for those who still don't know how the Wither Storm works in my story, well I basically make it able to use commands but because it is too op I then made the command block sentient so it doesn't always to what the wither storm wants, also the original wither storm litteraly just eats everything but you can have a better description of it in this chapter, also if you have a name suggestion for it then I'll be glad to see it, well a pony name that would fit the wither storm. Thanks for reading
