The Last of Pendants

Confrontation

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The light of the morning sun broke through the cheap blinds in the motel lobby, bouncing off a mirror, going straight into Nedak's dark green eyes. It took only a few minutes for it to bother him. He ignored it at first, but then it got to a point where it-

"BURNS!!!!"He screamed at the top of his lungs. With that scream of pain, everyone around him were forced awake in terror of attackers they thought they heard.

"What the hay was that for Nedak!?" a very annoyed Renimcinos asked.

"YEAH!! What was that for?! We were all tryin' to sleep!! Now thanks to you, I can't hear as good!!" Lectured Spark

"Sorry about that. My eyes were experiencing a searing pain just now."

When those last words came out of his mouth, the other four burst into a long and hysterical laugher. This wasn't only because he sounded like an idiot saying this, but also because he was led to believe that the sun going into his eyes was considered an attack. He immediately retorted by saying that they needed to get going to Canterlot anyway. The other four agreed to this while still snickering and went outside to continue the chase against Marcus and his friends.

MEANWHILE

"Well that was a horrible idea following the tracks to Canterlot." Marcus whined," Who knew they'd be waiting for us at the station." Marcus and his cohorts were now riding on a carriage to Canterlot for crime speculation and court trial against the murder of many royal guards. The only way out was to bash the door open, but that was deemed impossible because they were shackled to the cart.

"Let me get us out of here!" Tristen demanded.

After a few minutes of Tristan explaining the plan. Marcus had shyly asked the guards, "Um... Excuse me... Can I get out of this cart? I need to water the porcelain flower."

"Sigh... Fine. Stop the cart Skippy."

The cart stopped and the guards opened the door. When they did, the three convicts were no where to be seen.

"Sir! In the sky! Look!!"

The guards looked up in the sky to see a flaming bolt heading straight for them.

"HIT THE-" it was too late. The guards were burnt to a crisp.

It was nearing sunset when Nedak and co had made to Canterlot outskirts. At this point, every pony was silent from the tension of what might possibly be their last battle. Nedak tried to break the silence that loomed over all of them by saying:

"So...What are we doing now?"

The silence still held on for a few more seconds until breaking completely.

"Simple, we wait For chaos to break loose, we then go in to stop said chaos and send those idiots to the sun." Explained Reni. With that, the five began to set up for the stakeout.

"Rena! Perhaps you can go inside the city to tell us when all hell breaks loose?"

 "That is a great idea Sparky! I'll scout Canterlot for anything suspicious. Let me just get the flare gun ready!" Rena exclaimed cheerfully, trying to make the best out of the dire situation they are trying to stop.

"I think she's had too much coffee." Rainbow Dash pointed out the white pony's clear addiction to caffein as Rena ran off to Canterlot's entrance.

"Tell me about it. It's like someone put twenty nickels in her at once without reading the clear warning." joked Nedak. Everyone had laughed hysterically for awhile. When they had stopped, he had chuckled a little and jokingly followed up that phrase with, "Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all week."

"Who knew you were such a comedian sometimes! Why is your cutie mark not ponies laughing?"

"Excellent question! It actually stands for all kinds of art. For example: theatre, media, comedy, literature, and image based." Explained Nedak.

"That still doesn't account to the fact that i kissed Pinkie Pie."

"Will you quit mentioning that Reni?! It's just as annoying when Nedak tells bad jokes!"

"HEY! My jokes aren't THAT bad!!!"

As the night went on, the four ponies babbled stories of their life and miscellaneous things. At one point, Nedak began to grieve of the horrible events he had to go through before the one fateful day when he was taken to Equestria and life began to show meaning. Every pony else just listened as he rambled on and on. When he finished his lament, they saw the telltale flare go into the air. For added effect, the flare exploded to make it very clear that it's time to end the chaos once and for all.

"Alright! We got the signal! Let's get going!" Spark blankly said, acting more serious than he has ever been before.

"Aright! You two get going! I need to tell Dash something. Also! Spark! Throw me your pendant!" Nedak had needed to make this quick.

"What ya need to tell me rookie?" questioned Rainbow Dash.

"Okay... How else can I say this? Dash, if we end up failing this, I need you to get out of here as fast as you can. Take this pendant and hide on Earth. You'll be safe there. If we ever do come back to find you, you'll know when we find you. The pendant will be set glow brightly when close to the others. If its not us, the pendant will turn a dark red. Wish me luck..." When he finished talking, he immediately pulled her into a long, deep, kiss. It lasted until a large telescope zoomed up to them and projected a booming voice.

"LUNA! The rumors about those two pegasi are true! Get the camera!!"

"Not now Celestia! Can't you see the three criminals coming right for us?!"

After hearing that conversation Nedak had nervously mutter, "Well... That was awkward... Gotta go...." With that, he began to fly towards Canterlot to help his friends end this chaotic war at the source.

TEN MINUTES LATER

The three heroes had arrived at the palace to find both Luna AND Celestia lying on the hard marble floor unconscious. They were shocked that It was that easy for Marcus, Vincent and Tristan to take them down. It was only a matter of time before they issued control over Equestria.

"Looking for someone?"

The three looked up to see none other than Marcus sitting on the throne with a very flashy crown on his head. To his side were Vincent and Tristan smirking at them with a less flashy version of Marcus' crown sitting on their heads.

"If you wanted to stop us so easily, you should have just took us out at the market and ended all of this suffering. Oh wait! We stopped you before you even could lift a finger."

"Why don't you fight fair then?" Retorted Spark. "If you want a challenge, you're looking it in the eye!"

"Fine... We'll play by your rules. You can still use magic... If you even have it." Marcus laughed as he said that last part.

"I'll have your tongue..." Growled Spark. His horn and eyes glowed a bright red as he levitated into the air. Everyone just watched as he was seemingly going mad with power. After a minute or two, he appeared to have launched something at Marcus and his cronies.

"What did you even do just then?" a concerned Marcus asked.

"Heh... You'll see." Grinned Spark.

Just then, a small red orb appeared in front of Marcus' face. By now, the three just stared at it as the orb started flying around their faces like a fly. At this point, they were laughing at Spark. What they didn't notice was that Spark and his friends were nowhere to be seen; Also the fact that red orb is now the size of the stained glass windows behind them. The orb then went hurtling down to the closest thing that was laughing at said orb, who just happened to be Marcus.

"Bahahahahahaha! Wait a minute where are th-" Marcus was interrupted by the massive explosion behind them. The explosion left the palace intact. It only injured Marcus and his cronies.

"How do you like THAT for a spell?" Boasted Spark. He was clearly proud of what happened to them. What happened next was shocking to him.

"I don't see what was so great about it. I didn't even feel anything."complained Marcus,"In other words, your magic sucks."

"Oh that is IT!" Nedak went to kick Marcus, who stepped to the side and instead ended up causing Vincent to be brutally kicked in the face. Vincent immediately kicked him back. The two then took to the air as they began getting into air combat. Renimcinos took this as a sign and Head-butted Tristan in the neck. Tristan retaliated and threw him to the ceiling. And proceeded to beat the living heck out of him. Spark and Marcus kept to the ground, fighting. The only one who seemed to be unscathed was Nedak, that air combat training with Dash was really helping by now. Who knew that black belt wasn't for showing off. Within mere minutes, Nedak, Renimcinos, and Spark were at the top of their level while the Allicorns had everlasting endurance. This everlasting endurance was only achieved through absolute magical ability. They only have this ability through the pure evil in their hearts. If it weren't for that, they would be week and helpless to their surroundings. Marcus then took the opportunity and knocked Spark out cold with a clean blow to the head. As Nedak looked in disbelief, Vincent wrapped his forelegs around Nedak and threw him to the floor. Tristan did the same to  Reni and joined Marcus and Vincent in tying the three to a pole. After that was through, the three returned to their throne... And waited...
