starsteel sweep
chapter one
Load Full StoryNext Chapter: This is a fanfic of my little pony; I usually like to do anthropomorphism, but considering that I am starting a new then why not my online experiences as well. I will try to do it without anthropomorphic ponies, and then I will try it with if I am not impressed. I do not think I’ll succeed in leaving the blood out so... This is the first official work I have done in years so I will first lay claim to my creations… ahem! :
My little pony and its universe are not my copyright but of Lauran Faust. Starsteel, Blackheart, Tricky and trickster, Shaman, and T-biscuit, are my intellectual property, as well as the nobodies.
: Okay now where do I begin? … oh and I may have typed Starsteel throughout a section of the story, it is Starsteel but I may change it later. :
Once upon a time in the land of Equestria, there was a yellow pegasus pony with pink hair, her name is flutter shy, she un sleeping restlessly under her covers.
In her dreams she is only a foal; the scene is of a shattering canyon side as heavy gales muffle the screaming as she is trying to communicate over the voices of everyone else. The scene is turned to a black stallion, practically a young teen, as he is looming over the princess of Equestria. Celestia the white allicorn with the cool colored rainbow hair bays a spell that over encumbers the chaos. As time stands still everypony is whisked away as chains hold the young stallion to the ground.
His wail in despair and anguish is heard as his cutie mark is clearly visible in her eyes. The wing with the star and chain over top is what she sees when she comes to.
She thinks in a nervous tone, and then she utters a name.
Fluttershy=Starsteel, why?
The Sun rises on Ponyville, a small and early western town which seems to bend around its capital building. The light shines through windows and roosters crow as the morning bids a temporary farewell to the soothing blanket of night. The purple unicorn, twilight sparkle, lies in her bed surrounded by books wakes then hops out of bed revealing her cutie mark with sparkles galore, for the sound knocking on the library door; she heads down into her large library still a slight mess from all the studying. She opens the door to see a white unicorn diamonds on her flank, with her stylish blue/velvet hair and tail; her name was Rarity, with a look of concern on her face.
Twilight yawns inviting the concerned mare inside as Rarity begins to speak” Do you know where Fluttershy might be? She is not home and her animals look worried.”
Twilight grabs a cup of tea and takes a sip as she ponders” she has been a little restless I’ve noticed.”
“I know… let’s get the others and start looking for her.”
Twilight and Rarity step outside and look around the awakening town, with a nod Rarity walks off” I’ll find Rainbow Dash,”
“Then I will get Applejack.”
Meanwhile at Sweet Apple Acres orchid, three ponies are moving baskets of apples Twilight approaches.
The smallest lemon yellow one has a bow in her red hair Apple bloom, and the red eldest blond brother Big Macintosh continue to work while the middle one orange also blond and wearing a cowgirl hat with apples for her mark meets her in the middle.
“Howdy twilight, you don’t look so hot.”
“It’s Fluttershy she is missing; we need to look for her.”
She nods as she goes to talk to her brother.
Zipping through the sky, a blue pegasus with rainbow hair and tail mark being a cloud with a rainbow thunderbolt, Rainbow dash spots Rarity who seems to be yelling to her from the ground below.
“I wonder what she wants.”
As she comes within hearing range she hears Rarity” Fluttershy is missing we need to find her!”
She gives a nod and a wave before beginning her search.
As they take off around town a pink pony with poufy hair walks in front of twilight, they are talking as a strange orb approaches them from a few blocks away.
The pink pony Pinkie Pie nods and walks away while yelling for the yellow pegasus.
Twilight looks down the road with suspicion” are we being watched?”
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Meanwhile, in the mountains in an abyssal canyon where no light can reach, Fluttershy is scared; the shadow reflects the dark blue color of the stones, but still continuing through the hazardous rocks. She catches eye of a giant bird, a rauk had perched above it. Fluttershy peaks up at the monstrous bird” um… h-hello Mr. big bird.”
She is approached with the bird’s predatory gaze as she starts to panic, the bird ducks as it opens its mouth and a voice is heard.
“get out of my domain pegasai!”
She starts to run” But I have to see him!”
“No you don’t!” hollered the bird as it catches her in its beak.
She lets out a wail and kicks for her life; she manages to kick the giant bird in the eye. It releases her in pain dropping her into the abyss, she manages to fly up and into a decorated cave covered with bones; The bird barely able to squeeze through gaining on the fleeing mare.
She flies out of the other end of the tunnel; the bird is caught and unable to turnaround as she glides over the underground abyss. The giant dome under the mountain has a smaller structure, it’s castle appearance is complemented by its many gargoyles.
“I think I turned the wrong way, I must have let it chase me into a different area.”
She sees a small hole as the bird squawks breaking past the thin tunnel and into the giant dome. The pony flees into the small tunnel hundreds of feet down the abyss. She escapes once again into the canyon. But it looks different, it was just as her nightmares described, the heavy storm and the gales left the scene as if trapped in time, like another universe hidden from Equestria by the deadliest storm. The winds stole her breath as she struggles over to a pile of rocks leaning against the limestone cliff bottom. Her best bet being to hold her breath and cover her face as she approached the rubble; through the tiny crevices she saw a black stallion barely six years older than her. The pain filled her eyes as they made contact with his through the cracks of rock.
She walks back toward the cave to catch her breath, she sits in the entrance” Starsteel… you’re alive.”
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Pinkie pie, the pink pony with balloons on her flank is searching frantically for her under every rock when suddenly her whole body goes mad, twitching and squirming like she had been possessed. The other four run up to her in concern as she stands back up” I have-twitch! –no idea what happened.” as she continues to go on with her twitching twilight is trying to calm her” it must be your pinky since.”. Rainbow dash gives her a light slap calming the pink pony.
Rainbow dash exclaiming” what is wrong with you?”
Pinky in an unbelievably calm tone” either the bakery blew up and the fire is spreading throughout town or Fluttershy is in a very bad kind of peril.”
Twilight looks down from the road at Sugar Cube Corner, the bakery pinkie works at, and says” can you try applying that sense to finding her?”
“Sadly no.”
Apple jack gets an idea” I know! Winona might be able to trail her, I’ll go get her.”
Twilight=And I will go to her house and find something with her scent.
The other three ponies continue their mad search for it had been hours. Their minds were full of concern for their friend.
Meanwhile Fluttershy is still in the mountain, she tries to take a last breath before starting to move the rocks, every rock she kicked off of the pile seemed to send chills down her spine, she gazes at one of the chains holding him, the light emanated through the rocks, a beautiful and eerie glow started to fade as she hears a moan, a tone that cuts into her mind stirring acid in the pit of her soul. An indescribable fear suddenly overtakes her causing her to gasp, the high wind steals her breath as she struggle back to the cave. Finally able to breath she starts to hear a voice. She can barely understand it.
She rushes out at full speed; her teary eyes are dried by gales as she delivers a powerful kick to the hook holding the uncovered bind. An angry pulse, a heavy shockwave of negative energy sweeps the kingdoms; all of the Ponyville citizens suddenly feel a despair that wreaks havoc on the once cheery hearts and minds. The other five look in terror as some of the ponies even faint and get sick. The five heroes get weaker as they struggle to meet.
Applejack unable to hold in the negativity forcing out the tears of sorrow the cowgirl could not hold back, she tries to call, Winona the Border collie that had just went nuts and took off.
They gather unable to speak through the sudden fear, sorrow and doubt that overwhelmed them.
She faints unable to breathe while unconscious, though the sounds of breaking metal she manages to stay awake enough to see a shadow, with his free leg thrashing the metal and rocks. She fades as it approaches.
A voice is heard before passing out” what have you done, it was for you I was sealed…”
………………………………………………………………………………………………..
The sky lights up as a large allicorn with a crown from earlier, Celestia with a look of anger and concern approaches the five” where is Fluttershy!?” the cluelessness of the five and the chaos going on around them filled her with fear.
Twilight steps forward” she is gone.”
She looks at the sobbing purple mare” no… she must have been contacted by HIM.”
Rainbow dash=who?!
Celestia= we must find Fluttershy, she no doubt is in the durance of hate, there was an evil sealed that currently is breaking free. I will explain when you return; and grab the elements.
The five ponies are directed to the mountains, as they run to them they hear her voice” pray you are fast young ones, for the evil in there is unlike any force you should ever know! I can’t go with for the magic there repels my very being! Follow the clouds!”
As they fade pinkie waves as they vanish.
“I ignored this mistake for far too long”
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Hours later they show up at the base of the mountains, they see a boat floating gently down the river. As it docs by them they rush to the boat to find a sleeping Fluttershy, she was covered by a few snakes, they hissed as the other five approached the boat. The pony in the boat wakes up with her smile assuring the snakes that they were good, they slithered away.
The depressed pony is hugged by the other five, as they all talked at once she busts into tears. They back up from her as twilight responds” what’s the matter, what happened?”
The troubled mare looks up in shame” I wasn’t thinking, I was weak but curious, I heard who I thought was a loved one from long ago, but instead it was a monster. Something compelled it to save me I just know it.”
As she explains her story , her words ran like a river as her eyes got wider and wider, she gets louder as rainbow dash places a hoof on her shoulder” it’s okay, let’s go back.” The scene switches over to Celestia who had gathered a few soldiers.
Celestia is marching back and forth” alright men I have hired a few detectives to go with you to see what is there to deduce what happened. This is top secret and no one is to leave or enter the town.”
As they salute there attention is drawn towards the rauk the giant bird crashes, it becomes lifeless as Celestia gasps” Magus!” she rushes over to the bird” my old friend!’ she mourns as the soldiers leave to meet the main six.
Meanwhile in Canterlot, a lustrous capital city holding Celestia’s domain, the once beautiful city is now a darkened domain filled with weak and helpless ponies as the black figure, slightly taller than Fluttershy, but with the same complexion and eyes, his mane is a grey haze; as he enters the palace entrance. The doors were kicked down and the grand hall, banners hanging as the darkness stole color from the scenery visible only by the moonlight, were the soldiers were all unable to move, some had met the grim collector from there shock from the negative emotions provided by the shadows.
The dark room started to glow with the moons light, a smaller allicorn, Luna blue with a nightly aura for a mane and tail approaches. He cocks his head to see her, he stomps his front hooves, and she readies herself for the unexpected. Upon raising his front hooves, the wingless entity bays, the energy finishes off all those within a few hundred yards, Luna feels the negativity as she fires a lunar energy beam at the foe.
The shadow disappears with amazing speed, he meets her with his back hooves only to be gouged with the horn and carried into the ceiling. Luna drops him with her front hooves dropping him to the ground. He vanishes in the same speed and they lock hooves in battle.
Luna=HOW DARE YOU INVADE MY HOME!
????????=You clearly never heard of me!?
She endures another wail while pushing the dark stallion back into a wall” I don’t care who you are, you will not get away with this!”
A flash of light makes way for Celestia who feeds energy into her horn blasting him into a wall; the light reveals the ghastly demon within.
“Luna run, go help the six!”
“BUT!-“
“Just do it I can’t help them, I will slow him down, he will only get stronger from the negativity!”
Upon seeing the fear in Celestia’s eyes Luna takes off to help the six, and the soldiers sent to find any help at the site Fluttershy went to.
………………………………………………………………………………………..
Meanwhile the five are arguing at the base of the mountain in the forest rather to scale the mountain to find the durance of hate, or too take Fluttershy back into town.
Twilight is sitting in the middle as she tries to resolve the situation.
Applejack=well whatever scared the tarnation out of Wynona can’t be good for us, and besides look at Fluttershy.”
Fluttershy is looking around the forest then turns back towards the mountains.
Rainbow dash= look! If the cause is up there and it is bad then we cannot wait, we have the element of harmony let us go kick it’s flank before some pony gets killed!
Pinkie pie= let us agree at least that it is not entirely evil.
They all look at her
“well it let Fluttershy go, and on top it protected her on the way down with those snakes.”
Rarity” just long enough to gather more supplies, the energy lifted but the clouds are still there, obviously if is either gone or sleeping. Either way it left something behind.”
Twilight approaches Fluttershy who is eerily quiet” so Fluttershy, about what you told us.”
Fluttershy looks up at her” he was named Starsteel, he was an earth pony… but… he… walks on clouds.”
The pegasus looks up through the canapé and starts to tear again” yet he couldn’t fly, you see he always made it up and down from Cloudsdale. He loved me and my mother though he pushed us away, afraid to ask of his father…”
Twilight and Fluttershy exchange looks as her eyes start to become nostalgic” he never felt love, everyone hated him but… me and mommy he was barely a teen. And… I was barely old enough to remember him, or what happened.”
She starts to tremble, twilight lays a hoof on her shoulder” that’s enough for now. Twilight walks to the others” Fluttershy needs to rest, Rarity, rainbow dash. I need you two to watch her. AJ pinkie and I will look for answers. Anyone older than us must know what happened.
Meanwhile the guards watching the town were most alert as they watched several and two detectives walk into the forest.
The two detectives were earth ponies with silver bodies and blue manes, as they entered the forest below the mountains they intercept the six.
Twilight gestures for the other five to go as she walks up to the detectives.
“go guys… we have Fluttershy, we are going to find some answers, some villagers may know.”
Detective#1= that’s great of you, we are going to take a look at the scene following this map to see if the creature left anything, we’ll keep in touch.
They continued on their way to Ponyville.
Upon entering the now guarded city Fluttershy sees her bunny angel, hopping up to Fluttershy. They are in the library twilight lives in as Rainbow dash and Rarity are spending time with the stricken mare.
Applejack and pinkie pie make their way home for some rest sure to meet them later on.
In the nightly clouds Luna is watching over the six” I was on the moon for so long. What such calamity so great as to be hidden from even I?”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Midnight and the guards enter the gorge the black stallion was buried in. the guards enter the area behind the two detectives. The wind and storm is gone with only thunder clouds above their heads. The guards start to get dizzy as the detectives drop there dusters and hats and walk to the rocks. One of the guards notice two question marks like blades over a star on one of the flanks, and on the other is the same but in reverse; like a yin/yang.
The guards start to get up as the closest guard yells to them” tricky! You are in prison!”
The concerned guards try to run at the male horse as the female floats away. The two silver horses were none other than two guns for hire Tricky being the sister, the brother trickster stomped on the ground bringing translucent silver wind spikes into the undersides of the unit. Tricky laughed as she meditated in midair; the last few seconds of life in their eyes bared witness to the wings and horns emerging from the two earth ponies.
The two siblings with an evil laugh use there horns magic to quickly brush off the rocks, this revealed the pentagram. The glowing star with chains and the illustration of a black horse holding the chains adding to a bazaar 3D effect.
Trickster= okay sis, destroy the pentagram, but do not let any blood land on it.
Tricky=yes I am aware of that!
The head of the guards’ squadron lying on the ground next to his fallen comrades manages to lift a hoof throwing his blade at the distracted villains. They dodge but trickster is cut slightly enough as to let a spot of crimson drip from the thigh and onto the edge of the pentagram.
They both stare in shock as the star lights up. A vortex shoots to the sky as a dark chant is heard; the vortex dissipates revealing a black stallion, with white hair and a familiar cutie mark.
The star and chain in a realistic depiction overlapping a wing sparks the concern in the two twins’ eyes
Tricky=well this is bad.
Trickster=were allicorn remember? Let’s kill this one then go.
The white irises of the hell stricken black horse sent chills down there spine as he vanishes, trickster using the strange power they got dissolves the ground around him and turns the dissolved material to create four flying swords” you can’t beat our conversion abilities!”
A black and grey streak catches him off guard knocking him into tricky, as they both gain there balance they hear his voice” you sold your soul to a false profit for an imaginary power. Just then he charges the two allicorns. As trickster locks hooves the black stallion, he counters trickies’ behind attack with a buck to the neck.
Trickster hooves him in the face but is countered by a grab, the black stallion throws the brother at the sister. They both send summoned swords at the horse; the black stallion grabs all eight blades and sends them back.
“you think that with a power for intellectuals that you would at least train first.” The two allicorn are sobbing in pain as the blades lift from their bodies. They grab the sword in there hooves as the black stallion grabs two crystals sitting in the ground. The two allicorn swing frantically unable to out speed his counter attacks. After a crystal to tricksters face they fly away.
Trickster” we will return mule!”
As they fly away they are weakened by a wicked wail that forces their wings and horns to retract, causing them a rough landing and trip down the mountain.
They guard left alive is barely awake as the black stallion approaches” where is blackheart? And most importantly my sister?”
The guard is barely alive as it is; the black stallion lifts him onto his shoulder. The guard utters a small phrase” she is sorry Starsteel.”
……………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Memories dig out from the subconscious of everypony’s mind as the town became restless. Luna is in the library with twilight as they go through their books.
Luna=this is most recent, the shadow being did not seem no older that you, in his mid-twenties perhaps.
Fluttershy is outside talking to her bunny ,angel, as pinky pie walks up” you know I brought up that stallion you called Starsteel and you know what, everyone seems to get exited!”
Fluttershy=exited?
“Yah! They are breathless and they get really wide eyed!”
“Um… pinkie pie, you should sit down-“
Before she could finish pinky pie sits leaning on the shy pegasus” okay I’m ready!”
Meanwhile sweat apple acres, Applejack is bucking the apples out of trees as Big-Mac walks up to her with empty baskets ready to fill. The mare with a quiet tone looks to Big-Mac” hey Mac.”
“Eeyup” said the red stallion as he put a piece of wheat in his mouth.
“Do ya by any circumstance know a starsteel?”
With that Big-Mac swallows the wheat with a look of concern in his eyes” where did you get that name from?”
Applejack= he was buried that’s all I know, flutter shy knew him well but…”
“Let’s talk inside” they walked to the barn as the red stallion appears to be holding back emotion.
Rainbow dash and Rarity come are on their way to the library when they see a black stallion carrying a guard.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Fifteen years ago, the scene in Fluttershys’ dreams real as the Pegasus is being held back by the tremendous wind and Celestia is barely standing. His wail is heard as the canyon collapses, chains hold the blackheart back as Starsteel sinks into the earth in an attempt to bring him with. Everyone is fleeing as the crying foal Pegasus struggles to break free from a very young Big-Mac.
Five days before that, princess Celestia is asleep in her well decorated throne, her dreams of a black stallion with the star, chain, and wing on his flank ready to smite the princess wake her. She gazes at her clock, she hears a knock, and she heads down the giant halls of the castle into her throne room. There she beholds a very old and ominous zebra, with his Swahili accent invites her into a circle.
She sits in front of a bowl where she places s few strands of hair and a part of her hoof” please tell me what my dreams mean to me.“ forgetting the introductions the shaman summons fire from the bowl, in it the dreams that plague her sleep.
“on the turn of the twenty eighth year, A sword of death will grow very near.
Upon the stone the mad king shall rise, To bring the tyrant to her demise.
As the curse of the tainted heart brought to light before the final countdown.
Don’t rest my queen upon her return a twin shall rise, and then peace ever grown”
The princess looks in awe as her vision reveals the black stallion with six wings, each a different color and of each one holding an element of harmony. She thinks about it” what does this mean may I ask?”
The shaman replies” it is your future, you tell me.”
“thanks shaman, I hope to see you soon.”
Meanwhile in Ponyville there is a very young Big-Mac, he is running through the orchids, a very young colt, with the cutie mark from the dream, was gaining on him. As Big-Mac turns around he runs right into the black horses hoof” tag.”
The black horse then turns and runs away.
As they chase each other a blonde unicorn is looming over a very young yellow pony, the two males jump over her and the baby mare aggravating the unicorn.
She grabs them with her magic. As they try to keep running away she turns them around.
Starsteel=before you speak T-biscuit let me explain.
T-biscuit=no! no excuses! You could trample young applejack here!
They both stare at each other than at a laughing baby applejack.
Starsteel=enough of the look!
He points jokingly at applejack who starts to get up and walk over to him. Big-Mac starts to giggle at T-biscuit” I think sees fine, he can’t hurt applejack, or his adoptive mother in the clouds.”
The three foals carry applejack into the barn, before entering Starsteel turns around” I got to go my brother senses are tingling.”
He runs off and vanishes in no time; the unicorn hands applejack over and then leaves to” I have to get home.”
As the sun sets he runs into a clothing store, from outside” yes… yes, yes- hello to you to rarity- yes! dank you thid vill come in handy!” he storms out into the street then releases a powerful jump taking him into the air, soon he lands on a cloud, with a special blanket in his mouth, the throws it on top of two mares, a baby Fluttershy and a similar looking mother.
“you’re back, a zebra was looking for you. What did you do?”
“n-n-n… actually nothing this time. It’s weird usually I do something bad… very bad-but by mistake! but not today.”
The next day young Mac wakes up with T-biscuit and Starsteel looming over him.
As they stare at each other Mac grins” searching for the Slithery Dee?”
“the reptile that comes from the sea when children are near with no adults around?” said the two” Yes!” they yelled as the three bolted out the door.
Later they are by the lake, T-biscuit standing by herself as the other two wait patiently with a net. Mac has his eyes on the lake, and Starsteel on T-biscuit.
Mac whispers over” try singing!”
“um… The Slithery Dee came out of the la-err sea, and ate all the children but did not eat me?”
As they wait and grow impatient t-biscuit walks away from the lake. Mac spots a bazaar creature, like a bird but with a serpent body and humanlike teeth jutted from the lake.
From on top of a cloud a hooded figure is watching as the tiny unicorn is paralyzed with fear and the two males rush at the creature.
Starsteel bucked the creature, but not before grabbing the mare in its jaws. The buck makes the hideous creature yelp as she falls into its gullet, the horn sticking out far enough to be severed with a spine chilling snap. Screams are heard from inside the creature as Mac drops the net and grabs a sharp stick” spit her out!”
The creature swallows him next, as the horror overtakes Starsteel, he runs into the creatures gullet biting onto the uvula, this in turn forces the monster to throw up the two other foals. Still holding on the creature inhales, the black foal kicks off his horseshoes, with the nails still attached to the round metal the creature breathes them into his throat. As the creature squirms Mac picks up the unicorn, with the severed horn in his mouth and watches Starsteel walk out of the creature.
Mac=you beat it!
Starsteel=HOSPITAL NOW!
The two run back into town with T-biscuit over their shoulder.
……………………………………………………………………………………..
Big-Mac is in the modern day with Applejack as he becomes more nostalgic” once we got her to town I continued as he was side tract by the villagers who saw the mark on his flank, the town was informed to watch out for a great evil force with the mark on his thigh. The villagers ridiculed him for endangering his friends; they then proceeded to surround him.”
The scene switches over to Pinky and Fluttershy, who are both outside the doors library. Fluttershy is crying as she tries to control herself.
“It was not his fault, his sign means something good. But when the authorities took him to the police station to hide him from the crowd, he started to panic unable to see his friend. They drug him into an armored room.”
Back in the past there is a light looming over him, his memories of his mother in emotional pain haunting him, he could tell how he was born and was amazed on how she still loved him dearly. The chief of police a pegasus in a black duster walks in with shaman.
Shaman points the chief out.” what’s your name child?”
“Starsteel… what about…”
“She is fine now, she can’t use magic but she may learn to cope.”
“Did they find the beast by the lake?”
“No, the creature was a manifestation of repressed negativity and rumor.”
As they sat and waited his mother came in, he ran over to her crying” mother what’s going on this zebra and a chicken in a black coat and the town is mad at me…”
“No my child, they are just afraid, it was a rumor and a myth, they are overreacting.”
Shaman=no mam, though they are overreacting… a prophecy was told, and the word got around among the earth ponies. Your son is believed to be a great evil that threatens the princess herself.
The young stallion looks in shock” m-m-m-m-me… ME! I know I hate the higher class but now you are overreacting!”
The mother cradles him in her wing” what will you do?”
“I must conduct a ritual to see if he is a threat. If so then Celestia will decide.”
As she ponders her options she looks at the black stallion” you will be fine, no harm will come to you.”
“Fluttershy let me see her.”
As shaman goes to speak two police colts storm in” sir we have to move a riot is about to form.”
Outside Fluttershy is watching from the clouds in panic as she sees a black cloud leave the building and rush away. The citizens down below blame the young stallion of black magic; as the other half of the city trying to calm the ignorant masses.
The tiny yellow pony jumps down, flapping her wings with all her might to prevent from hitting the ground, after the soft landing she runs after the cloud, Big-Mac sees the young foal then runs after her.
The panicking foal breaks out of the cloud and starts to fall.
Shaman=NO CHILD!
As he hits the ground shaman lands next to him and immediately starts to heal his wounds. He sees a baby Fluttershy and Big-Mac in the distance” no children go back to the town, others are sure to chase you down!
Villagers are heard in the distance; as the young foal awakes the villagers start to surround them. Their minds filled with negativity, the empathic project can be felt coming from Starsteel as the villagers grow angrier at the tiny stallion. As a larger horse knocks shaman over the foal is picked up by a leg, in pain the young stallion lets out the wail that sends every pony running with sudden fear, and those too emotional did not make it.
The trees were turning yellow as the two other foals approached, Fluttershy barely able to talk runs up to him” brother!!!”
Big-Mac= I’ll carry him Mr.!
Shaman= we must make haste, time we cannot waste!
As they make their way through the pass they are in a canyon. They see a glowing light releasing the princess Celestia” shaman what is this madness?!”
She gazes upon her future killer” give him to me I’ll take him to my palace.”
Before he could reply the villagers dark creatures seemed to possess the villagers and they returned.
“Is he possessing the villagers!?”
“No my queen the monster is inside this child!”
The storms build up as the queen is forced to engage the villagers, Fluttershy is being dragged away, and Celestia’s subjects were trying to kill an innocent foal. Celestia could feel a monster from the young stallion as she turns towards the shaman crying” I’m sorry!”
She fires her most powerful spell; the confusion from the young stallion causes him to jump in the way.
Shaman= no! I am the sacrifice to seal your demon!
The young stallion wails again as he is struck with the spell, the villagers are set free from their possession as the winds start to suck out the breath of everypony.
The last ten seconds, shaman grasped the foal following him into the seal; the demon became the new Starsteel and was left alone with Celestia. The monster was still a foal but the real Starsteel was in the seal, the shaman and the foal were not worth it to Celestia. The demon starts hacking away at the queen; the villagers were dying due to the high wind. With her last breath she uses all her magic to slow the wind allowing their subjects to flee.
As she feels the fangs sing into her one last magic was cast, she heard the crying of the foal as chains pull the demon away. The canyon side drops as Celestia flees in terror.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
In the present Celestia is heavily wounded and chained down, her magic bound by seals and her body is laid out waiting for somepony. Tricky and trickster arrive” sir one of the guards set him free.”
Blackheart turn to them” without his mother or sister he may never get out, he is negative, hateful, and resentful of all things. Kill the bearers of Harmony.”
They nod, but before they could fly off” wait! I will go, I leave her in your clutches, ready her for the ritual, I must find them myself.”
Celestia=no matter how powerful or successful a villain may seem there is always a horse with their name on it. Pray that yours is merciful.
Blackheart laughs as he vanishes, leaving them with Celestia.
“You two are allicorn? How?”
Tricky=simple! We were granted a fragment of blackhearts power. You see due to simple biology blackheart, and Starsteel are part allicorn.
Trickster=but because of more complicated stuff he has no horn or wings, but he can run fast in clouds and use low level magic. He is a hybrid like yourself, and the most powerful horse in Equestria.
Tricky=all he did was use his magic to switch some of our DNA strands with a spliced version of his own.
Back in Ponyville Luna is outside the city as the main six run to grab the elements.
Luna walks towards the black manifesting cloud” I knew you’d show up.”
“Round two is it? You and the elements of harmony won’t stop me.”
They step into fighting position as the clouds overhead fade shining light in the moonlit scene.
The smoke haired black apparition fired off his wail, Luna seemed un-phased as she sends a hoard of flesh eating bats at him, as the bats die and turn back to darkness, Blackheart fires blindly through the cloud of defeated bats and hits nothing. Luna comes down with all four hooves on top of his head.
As she is thrown off, they both swing around and their hind legs meet and they bounce off of each other.
Luna fires a lunar beam, blackheart turns to dust letting the beam go through.
Blackheart brings a giant shadowy hand down upon Luna, who in turn displays a giant and powerful aura to shield herself as she charges Blackheart.
They both are now hoof fighting in close quarters. The speed of blackheart allows a near fatal blow mixed with a portion of his shadow power mixed in.
Luna collapses as a beam of light shines from the town and hits the evil being. He is laughing as the six ponies sit in shock as his wounds from the fight heal.
“I feed off of positive magic… I am a greater evil after all.”
Rainbow dash and applejack step forwards” you will not get away with this!”
Rarity and twilight step up” we don’t care how big you are!”
Pinkie steps in front of them” we figured you’d be after Fluttershy!”
Blackheart notices the fleeing pegasus and goes to chase her.
Pinkie starts to sprint” Here goes nothing sugar hi-yah!” she gives a powerful head-butt sending him further from the town. Two rocks from the sides come together on him as rainbow dash and apple jack run up to him.
Blackheart grins as he grabs the incoming kicks from the two athletic mares. He throws AJ up in the air and nails Rainbow dash to the ground. Rainbow dash wails in pain as he catches Applejack, he lays his mouth on hers and starts to drain her life.
Another pink hoof comes at him saving the orange mare; the pink pony is taken down in two fast hits and being sent airborne.
Rarity and Twilight then used their magic to control two axes lying nearby, using them to attack to keep him away from the three downed mares, Rainbow dash manages to pull out the nails, she then ruches him leaving a circular rainbow, charging at light speed she brings a super powerful buck to the neck of the demon.
He was sent flying; Rainbow dash was staggering for she was mortally wounded. Twilight and Rarity were helpless to block from the amazing speed that sent them into a building knocking the two into a building, the building was none other than Rarities boutique.
Through the gaping hole the monster was laughing as Rarity levitates all of her sharp blades, scissors, and needle. They all rain into the side of blackheart as Rarity raises herself with a pair of scissors held like knives in each hoof. Twilight got up with a wooden rod that was the blinds as they rush out through the hole and at the villain.
He releases a wail dropping the ponies. He was going to wallow in victory about to feed on the fallen to heal, but a metal farming plow struck him, the injury forced him to flee as Big-Mac ran to check them. The rest of the town left from hiding to aid the fallen mares.
Blackheart’s wail is heard as the moon starts to turn into what appears to be an eye, Luna was gone, and Celestia was in his clutches too.

Fluttershy was running her fasted meeting up with the surviving guard, he was bandaged; flutter runs up to him” so where is that brother of mine? He needs me.”
The guard points towards canterlot, instantly she runs off to the city. As the black stallion Starsteel enters the castle he feels Fluttershy closing in, he is amazed that she flew to him let alone caught up.
Starsteel slows down as Fluttershy jumps on him” oh brother you’ve been gone for so long and I thought you were gone-“
“YOU RELEASED BLACKHEART!”
The mare steps back as her tears start to build up” I’m sorry, I thought it was you.”
Flashbacks seemed to remind her of the lack of interest he had for anypony in Cloudsdale, her being the only Pegasus that he cared for. He seemed to have lost himself after fifteen years in isolation pondering what he did wrong.
Fluttershy feels helpless as her brother walks away” she’s sorry!”
