Chapters A Storm turn into a breeze
I saw many things, felt everything, ate everything, and met other things. I remember the time I was born, where I was just a mindless beast whose intent is to end the world, I remember that there was once a species who resembles the Gods, the Creators. A species I ended with my very being.
I remember that I wasn’t “normal”, that I was an anomaly, the proof is that my “heart” is not supposed to exists in the realm of mortals, in fact, I heard that it is called a “Command Block”.
Command… It was a word that I knew the meaning off, the true meaning of it. For some reasons, I knew what the creator of my “heart” was thinking, his mind was overflowing with unknown language, but a word always repeated itself… “Command”.
At first, I thought that it was just the basic meaning of “ordering something”, but then I realised that what the Creators were ordering, was the world itself. They were commanding the world, making it shape and shift to their will, so I thought that if I had a heart whose name has “Command” in it, I would be able to do the same thing.
So the first thing I tried after being born, was to test the “Command Block”. At first, it wasn’t very effective as it only changed my attacks so they became imbued with fire, but then, the world started to come to me, it started to protect and feed me, so I continued using it to eat and eat everything that the world gave me.
The species that created me with the command block knew that something bad would happen, so they tried to destroy me, but the world was protecting me as an armor of the hardest material the world has formed around my normally weak body.
I quickly became drunk of its powers, constantly eating what the world gave me, never returning my debt to it, and the worst of it is that I didn’t stop and I wasn’t sentient at the time and beings that are not sentient always do everything to survive, and to survive, I ate everything I saw and use it to build an armor that would be unbreakable.
I became a monster, it’s true that I was born a monster, but I became a monster worse than anything, a monster to everything even monsters. It took me several millenium to achieve sentience and finally be aware of my unholy doings, but it was to late, the world was dead, nothing remained besides me the very thing that ate the world.
Too find salvation for my sin of gluttony, I traveled through the universe and beyond to save world in need, I even was worshipped by many world inhabitants as their “savior” or “God”, it’s true that I could become a deity, but I am not perfect, even if I seem to be forgiven for my sins, I still feel the guilt of what I did to my original world.
I wandered for many billions of years through the world, but my gluttony never ended, from times to times I would end up being a rival to black holes, entities that I could sympathise with if not for their cruelty, anger would find me everytime those I saved and cared for died because of the actions of others, when these times came, I would become something that even Supermassive black holes would run away from if they could.
So I decided to leave my universe to go to another and find peace in one of its planets as one of its inhabitants, that way, I would never give to my endless gluttony.
To cross between dimension, one has to attain certain properties regarding their mass and electric charge, one has to travel faster than light but because it is impossible by normal means, then one has to travel across wormholes, tunnels that leads to places faster than light.
But to achieve something like this is to command space itself, luckily, I have a heart that can command everything and I am glad that I practice with it for the last one million years, yes, it takes a long period of time to understand something that can be called “the language of Gods”.
Once the coordinates are set beyond the universe, I just need to will the command block to enable the command, even my heart has a will on its own so it is not something that can be ordered around frequently, it is good that I lived with it since I was born.
As for where I will land, it is the command block to decide and for me to experience.
‘Until this happens, I should at least know what kind of inhabitants awaits me’
I asked the command block, it replied by showing me images of the world I would land in, I saw what looks like ponies, very intelligent ones too; There’s not only ponies, many other beings are here, all sentient, even the animals had sentience in them. Overall, it looks like a peaceful world even if battles happens every millennia.
‘Nice pickup, so could you turn me into one of these ponies? I wouldn’t want them to feel threatened by my current appearance.”
I asked the command block again, yes I am greedy to ask so much from a Supreme Entity, but it is necessary if I want to rest in peace in this world as I can’t be killed any longer now. The command block replied by changing my obsidian body into a smaller one that looks more like a pony, because my size was into a stellar scale, my body was taller than most of the ponies in the world.
To match the “cutie marks” that represent oneself, I had a round mouth with pointy teeth, it was inhaling many things while giving of an aura with the color of my tractor beams, this was my cutie mark that represent my gluttony.
As for the looks of my body, well I can’t say it looks beautiful or anything as I always view myself as a monster, but if I take into account the mares taste, I might be targeted to be a mate to them. My mane was a,pure purple, the same purple of my monstrous eyes, it was a fiery fashion like my tail, my body was all the color of darkness and shadow with scars marking the many battles I fought throughout the entire cosmos. My eyes were like those of Endermen, the only entity that could harm me, a piercing purple that anyone who dare to look into them faint from fear, well, that’s an exaggeration.
“Ah, Eh, Oh, Hm, my voice is surprisingly normal.” I said trying to see if my voice was all right because I noticed that the ponies were quite xenophobic when I saw that they imprisoned a young griffin when it crossed their kingdoms borders which is quite harsh, I don’t really mind as long as I have a peaceful life.
“Now we can start the transfer.” I said to the command block who replied by starting the transfer.
For my safety, I made sure to have all the knowledge needed in this new world called “Equestria” or more generally “Equus”. The strongest kingdom which is named Equestria is ruled by two mares whose species is Alicorns, the world has many species and kingdoms but now I just need to live in Equestria as it seems that there’s more chance to be in peace here.
As to where I would end up, it’s better to start in this “Everfree Forest” as not many sentient beings enters here, I learned that ponies are very naïve and sensible species, which is one of the reason as to why they are xenophobic so it should be quite easy to have a peaceful life. I also learned that they use magic, something quite uncommon in my previous universe but it shouldn’t be a problem, for conveniences I ask the command block to turn me into a unicorn as they are the main species that controls magic which is pretty similar with the many abilities I developed.
As for my abilities, because I was born with the command block, I can have what I want when I want as much as I want, but to not abuse this ability, I learned to copy the abilities of other beings, for now I should only be able to perform an Enderman’s teleportation as well as absorbing energy to sustain my body, I don’t really need to absorb to live but it is necessary to sustain the many mortal parts of my body.
Now it should be all for now, so let’s start this new carefree life of mine.
Author's Note
Here's the first chapter, don't expect much destruction as my wither storm is quite against it. Also, the action part will not be quite as often as the title and description might lead you to believe, but this doesn't mean that events would be quite peaceful because, well, his a wither storm I mean it should be obvious that a destructive being like this can't really be "peaceful" in nature.
With that said, I hope you enjoy this story even if you can't really judge a story from it's first chapter. Thanks for reading.
Hmm, 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.
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
Celestia’s POV
Celestia’s room, A week after the invasion
Where is it? It’s been a week since it showed up so why won’t it come out? This thing should not exist, it shouldn’t be here, something this evil and dangerous was vanquished a millenia ago!
Flashback,
??? Castle; 1245 years ago
“Princess! The preparations are done!” One of my loyal guards reported.
It’s been five month since this monstrous beast appeared near the Sacred Forest (Everfree Forest at the time), the Forest itself being known to give birth to peculiar beings, but this time an unimaginable being was released from the Forest. The worst was that it appeared when me and my sister just managed to stop the madness that was spread across the kingdom during Discord’s reign.
The kingdom was just starting to rebuild itself until this monster came out of the Forest and started to wreak havoc in the kingdom, and we couldn’t even use the Elements of Harmony to seal it away because it seems like they need to recover magic to be used again, up until now we couldn’t do anything but try slowing the monster from going forward which was downright impossible as the beast just absorbed any spells thrown at him, not even my teacher’s legendary spells only stopped it for one minute.
“Sister! We art ready to exterminate this foul beast!” Luna said wearing a full obsidian armor, it was thanks to our Alicorn strength that we are able to wear such heavy armors, but it is nothing compared to the weight of the whole kingdom putting its trust on you.
“Calm down Luna, we can’t directly attack this monster, its tentacles wouldn’t allow to do so.” I said wisely to calm down the anger inside Luna, the reason she showed such hatred is because half of the victims of this monster’s action was her subjects the Night Dwellers or more commonly known as the Bat Ponies.
“It doesn’t matter! Thou knows what this foul beast did to thy subjects!” She replied obviously trying to get me to charge mindlessly towards the beast, but it wouldn’t work on me as even I knew that sacrifices were needed for a better end.
“Not now Luna, we need to use the Elements of Harmony carefully, our guards are desperately trying to hold this beast in a stand still, we can’t afford to miss the spell.” I explained to make her stop complaining. Now that she is fully, or at least more composed now, we can finally end this calamity.
“Here! The Princesses are finally here! Unicorns! Hold still a little longer!” The current pony in command said, it was Diamond Armor, the current Captain of the Royal Guard. For the last hour we sent countless unicorns to hold the Beast down with their magics.
It took a whole month to finally find that the Beast absorbed our spells only if the spells themselves were aimed directly at its core, but if we aim our magic at the outer layer of the body, it wouldn’t be absorbed. But it still took an unimaginable amount of magic to hold it down for just five minutes, the first time I tried it I realised how strong the Beast was as it broke from my magic grip in just a minute, I was sent to the nearest healing post for magic exhaustion for three entire hours.
So we planned to use as many unicorns as we could to hold it down for at least an hour, thousands of unicorns were sent to do this which greatly broke my heart, these ponies were just recently recovering from Discord’s madness and now they were all sent to battle just after that.
When we arrived at the current Beast’s location, we found countless worn out unicorns, only a few remained to maintain the Beast but they would one by one fall from exhaustion.
“Sister…” Luna said saddened by the sigh before her.
“Don’t worry, we will put an end to this.”
Elements at hoof, we finally stood before the monster, we called it ‘Ruin’ the embodiment of destruction, the monster itself wasn’t really unknown to the world, in fact this monster is often mentioned in books older than ponies themselves, although we couldn’t understand the language, we could clearly see this monster in representation and drawings and the only words that we could translate stated that this Calamity only appeared to end the era or the existence of a species or other entities, it was name ‘The Judge’ or ‘The Embodiment of The End’ in many of those old books.And now we stood in front of such a being to protect our species from The End.
“Heh…” Luna snickered and soon enough we both started to smile, facing this unimaginable pack of raw power with the one I love the most, one would surely smile at this ridiculous situation, but we stopped smiling when we finally got the attention of the Beast, it’s tractor beam aimed directly at us, but we didn’t move, the reason for that is our armor that was fully made from pure obsidian and gold, something this heavy would certainly not give up on any levitation magic.
“It seems like the armor works very well.” I stated as I moved around the area where the beam took effect, the truth is that the levitation cast by the beam only lightens the weight of the armor making it easier to move around. This little play continued on until the Beast finally started to take us seriously by launching its projectiles as well as using its tentacles, at least it tried to if not for the restraining spell casted by the now energetic group of unicorns that regained their strength when they saw their beloved rulers.
“Now!” Luna shouted while starting to use the Element of Harmony, I imitated her by starting to charge them too. When they were fully charged, we fired the full power of the Elements of Harmony to the Beast middle body which was where one of its head was, it clearly didn’t like it as the head literally exploded leaving the fired beam straight into its body where we assumed was its heart, after the beam pierced through the Beast, its whole body started to explode sending countless unknown materials flying all over the area.
We were all shocked at that and more me and my sister because we never expected the Elements to do that to it, they never actually killed or destroyed an opponent before so what did they do it now?
“Hooray! Long live the Princesses!” Said everypony who witnessed this event, but I knew that this should not be recorded as this would only bring destruction, they may only be one book that would record such an event and it would be one of the books that would stay with me until the rest of time, I’m sorry sister, my little ponies but I must do this.
“Suster? What are y-”
I casted a memory eraser spell to all that witnessed this and to all that knew of the Beast’s existence so that none would remember this event…
Flashback End
It never appeared again since that time so I thought that it was gone forever! So what is it doing here at a time like this! And why does it feel so… different?
After the event happened, all of the Beast’s body parts that flew through all of the kingdom were slowly turning to ash until it left nothing behind, I especially made sure that there was no remain so that such an event would ever happen, so why is it here?
“Sister, are you alright?” I heard Luna said from behind me, I can’t tell her what happened so long ago, can I? No I shouldn’t, no one should remember these atrocities.
“Sister, you can tell me what’s troubling your mind, is it that beast?” Luna asked.
“Yes, what if it reappeared and cause havoc in Equestria?” I asked.
“Why would it? You clearly saw that it was helping our subjects no?” Luna replied.
“Yes, but...but.”
“But what? Sister, what are you hiding about this Beast?” Luna asked, this was it, I can’t lie to her when she makes a face like this and when I think about it, it was selfish of me to let at least my sister remember the events that transpired a millenia ago.
“It’s better if Twilight was here too.” I said before going to my bed to sleep, Luna nodded and went to her duty. Tomorrow will be a long day.
