//-------------------------------------------------------// Destiny 2: journey Act 1 -by Flip_The_Table- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The darkness spreads //-------------------------------------------------------// The darkness spreads Europa one of Jupiter's moons cold and abandoned. A ship comes out of orbit and that is your ship. You are a Warlock a guardian that was reborn in the cosmodrome and killed gods. And some of the people call you the hero of the red war which is something you can never forget. But going back to the topic you just left Europa and well you don't feel right. It like Zavala's said "you must be careful fighting fire with fire" the darkness is now your power and well it made you ghost worried. "Well now that Eramis is gone and we have the dark gift what should we do now?" Your ghost asks. You think for some time but not think of anything you look back at your ghost and shake your head. "Well maybe-" ghost was interrupted by the vanguard channel going off. "Guardian this is commander Zavala I have a side task for you," Zavala said. You push the button "yes commander?" You said "Osiris is needing assistance at the moon he clams that the hive is getting powers from a hive God I need you to go and help him get out of there" Zavala explained. Your ghost gets in front of the radio "we're on it commander" he said "Good I'll see you back at the tower," the radio then goes quiet. You adjust your grip on your ship controls and set courses to the moon. [=================================] About a couple of minutes, you draw near the moon, you put the ship on autopilot, and head to the back of the ship. You grab your shotgun the chaperone and gnawing hunger your auto rifle. "Getting close," your ghost said "drop me off now and bring the ship back to orbit," you said, and soon you teleport off of the ship and landed on a hive knight killing it instantly. As you landed more hive begin shooting at you. 'Here we go again' you think to yourself as you hide behind a rock and kill off some thrall that tried to charge. Soon after the outdoors was clear you head straight into the temple. "Guardian thank the light you've made it I'm in the shrine of oryx I was doing my research before Xivu arath's minions killed sagira" Osiris said "Don't worry we'll handle it just sit tight" your ghost said. You continue heading deep until your radio goes off "Hello anyone there?" A voice said sounding like a ghost. "Hello, Who is this?" Your ghost says before you jump down and hide behind a rock "oh the guardian my name is Glint I was sent to help Osiris get out" "You mean you and your guardian," the ghost said. This Guardian was a new light clearly due to the ghost but that didn't bother you it brings memories of when you were reborn but you needed to focus on the mission you look overseeing more hive blocking the way 'this never gets old' you think to yourself charging up your void power making a nova bomb. [================================] "Not too far away from Osiris," your ghost said as you enter the shrine of the taken king. You look around the area looking where Osiris is "guardian over here" Osiris said you make your way and there you see him next to a taken portal "that hive knight that killed my ghost went in this portal" he said looking inside. But with some force, it begins to pull him into the portal. "Let's move," he said Your ghost cones out and flies over to the portal "Osiris wait. remember that you're lightless" your ghost said looking back at you. You slowly walk-in and see new ascendant planes this one different but it is huge but just an empty valley with nothing "what hive killed this many guardians to just make an empty valley?" Your ghost said looking around but then stops to see a moon symbol in the sky and Osiris who was looking at it with winder. "Whos pocket dimension belongs to too?" He said looking around hoping to find something. You walk up to him "we better head back" you said putting a hand on his shoulder "We have no idea who did this and-" you were interrupted by the moon breaking into shards something in the middle makes a shape of a horse and had white eyes and soon after five more eyes appeared who were also horses. "I think we should leave like uh now!" Your ghost said. Osiris nods and makes his way back to the portal "you ready?" You said. Your ghost looks at you "always" he said before disappearing. You grab your shotgun and point at the horse who has stayed in one place but they glow brighter. You walk up slowly grabbing your auto rifle and aim at them. But just anything could happen a big beam of light comes charging after you. "Look- AHHHHH!" The beam hits you directly at your chest and the burning pain gets worse and you feel blackout. But you aren't going to stop and the only way you believe that there is no other way so instead of feeling warm you feel cold. Ice begins to form around you and a spear begins to form. You burst your dark power breaking the beam you use your spear and throw an ice bomb at the five horses it hits all of them "time to end this" you say before bursting your power breaking them into millions of peace. You raise your left hand and your ghost appeared "you alright?" You asked "I think so I can't tell on what power that was but..." he stops and looks over at the ice shards "you used it again" you nod and look away "Still no matter what I will still be by your side," your ghost said looking back at you. You nod and slowly get up you left arm took most of the hit and well it hurts a lot. As you turn you see that the portal that Osiris went in was gone "what where did-" you stop and look back due to the world breaking "we need to go now!" Ghost said. You look around hoping to find something but up ahead a bit away from where you are you see the other taken portal "that is a ticket out of here in" ghost said. Soon to quickly summon your sparrow and dive fast into the portal. But a rock gets in the way and you hit it and launched directly into the portal. [=================================] Twilight has been working on portal spell magic that she found in the library and now she has been trying for the last three days but now she is determined that she can do it "alright test number 32 go" she muttered before charging up her power and slowly a crack begins to form until I big black hole forms and a thing crashed right in the library. "What was that?" She said quickly running outside "My poor tree," she said looking at the damage but then stop by a thing that was out cold was lying on the ground out cold "Who are you?" She said giving the thing a good look. But she was interrupted by groups of ponies coming up on it and muttered to each other. "Twilight!" Spike shouts running out of the library and giving her a tight hug. "Spike?" She said getting his attention making him look at the thing. He backs away scared of what he is seeing "what is-" he was interrupted by a tiny glowing floating rock coming out of nowhere. "Wha- where... Guardian!" The thing said flying to the thing guessing known as a guardian. "Hang on I'm here," it said glowing blue and bursting its power. [================================] You slowly get up and hear a group of gasps. As you look around you see is... Ponies. You look to your left and see a purple pony with a horn you crouch down and look at it "what in the name of the traveler are-" you were interrupted by the other group of ponies screaming and running away all except for the purple one who has a terrified look on her face. "Umm hello" she muttered You till your head to the side and stand up. You walk away from the pony and look around but then stop. You hear humming which makes you look around "do you hear that?" You asked "No, I don't hear anything," the pony said. You look back at the pony but then look away "I hear it too" your ghost said appearing "scanning the source of the sound... There! from that Castle on that mountain" ghost said "Canterlot?" The pony speaks again You look back "take me there," you say getting in front of her. "LEAVE HER ALONE!!!" Screamed another pony. Your tracker blinks red from the left side without looking you shoot an ice wall blocking the pony path. You then hear the ice break looking to see a blue pony with rainbow mane and tail was on the ground knocked out. More ponies come out and all screamed "Rainbow!" They screamed. You look back at the purple pony "take me there" you say. She gulps a lump in her throat "okay we're going" she said before helping the other pony. [=================================] Logbook Okay so things were normal until a portal opens and now I'm in a world with a bunch of ponies that can talk I should be careful who knows how strong there are but my ghost believes that humming is a source of light and that is something we can not just wait for we need to get there as soon as I can. Now I'm on a train heading to this place many of these things are getting on my nerves but in the meantime, I'm going to meditate. //-------------------------------------------------------// Light and darkness //-------------------------------------------------------// Light and darkness As these ponies continue to talk you had no other thing to do other than meditating. Come to think of it you've not done this since the red war happened so maybe meditation will help at a time like this. You cross your legs and begin to float the other ponies look at you curiously but you didn't mind. Then very soon your light charges around you and soon you close your eyes and looking down. As you feel the world change you feel yourself on a rock. You slowly open your eyes and look around slowly. You see your ghost on another rock doing the same. You then look to your right seeing your light taking a form of a hawk. It chirps at you and you nodded at it. Then soon you close your eyes again and enjoy your calm- *shrieked* You open your eyes and look at your light getting aggressive for some reason. You then hear another noise-making you look to the left to see another rock with a dark blue boar there snorting walking left and right. You see your light flying up continuing its shrieking and the darkness begins to run making an ice path running directly at your light. Your light does the same and as they crash into each other you gasp. You open your eyes seeing yourself in the real world again panting heavily. You then feel something touch you "Hey, are you okay?" The purple pony asked You do nothing but getting up "fine" you said walking to a seat and looking out the window. Your ghost appeared again next to you "that thing was that-" "The darkness" you interrupted Ghost looks down thinking something but then a pink hoof pokes him "Hey cut that out," your ghost said flying over to the ponies. You look back at them who stand back getting intimidated by you. You look at the purple pony then your ghost "how are we holding on supply?" You asked "Fine for now," he said disappearing. The train then stops and the doors open. Grabbing your stuff you make your way to the castle. "Uhh, why do you want to go here?" The purple pony said walking next to you. You say nothing this is none of her business she just needs to guild the way there. As you get close to the doors you see two guards waiting at the front "ghost word line zero" you say soon the sword appears on your back you take it off and grab a holding the purple pony. She yelped at the sudden movement "TWILIGHT" the ponies screamed. You run closer to the guards and just before you swing the sword that teleports you into the castle. You hear the loud thump coming from the door. As you continue you drop the pony quickly turning you freeze the door with the dark gift. "Why did you do that?" She asked Still, you don't reply and continue but then your ghost appeared "We're close," he said [=================================] "Princess Celestia we will send the letter to her about the celebration," one of the guards said making their way to the door. But the door opened by a thing standing next to twilight. Shining armor who was standing next to Celestia turns around seeing the beast. "Guards!" He shouts And soon two guards come out holding spears come running to the thing. As they get close- "STOP!" The thing said pushing both guards back with what looks like lighting magic. Celestial stands up and looks at the thing. "That magic... How did you..." [=================================] "Listen to me and my guardian doesn't want to waste any of your time but we need help getting out of this world," your ghost said. You look at the bigger pony who was sitting it's thrown thinking. "How did you use that magic?" She asked You can think of something then got it using your arc power you feel the power come out of your fingertips a square made out of your power floating and slowly spinning around. "This is the light we were given by the traveler" "Traveler?" She muttered "But that does not matter right now we need help getting home" Ghost said She thinks for a moment then got an idea since her student is here she asks "my friend we can help you with your problem but we are having a problem too" Celestia said. You look at your ghost and nod "What problem?" He asked "One of my guards say that changeling our scouting around ponyville. "changelings?" Ghost said "Yes bug-like ponies that shapeshift into anything," she said You nod understand what this thing could look like but don't care "well handle them your highness" ghost said disappearing. "As for now twilight, please help our dear friend find a place to stay help him if he needs anything," Celestia said to her student. She nods in agreement "yes Celestia" she said before leaving. "Hold on just a second my friend may I speak to you before you leave?" "Yes?" You asked walking back in looking at her "I can't tell but what you did with that magic but I can feel something from you" You wonder what she is talking about but you let her continue. She walks up to the window and looks out seeing her land "I feel at first warm and powerful but now you feel powerful but cold and alone and-" "Darkness" you interrupted her. She looks at you and nods "yeah that's it... You are not used to this power, aren't you?" It was your turn to nod "yes" you muttered. She then looks at one of the windows that show her sister hugging her with Twilight and the others around her. "I'm sure that soon both will work together," she said. You nod again in agreement. You then turn and leave heading back with that pony by the name of Twilight who was trying to open the door "come on open- whaaa!" You kick the door breaking the ice and her falling to the ground. She gets up clearing her throat "oh okay then so Celestia wants me to help you get you home and you find changelings" she said "Yes," you muttered not caring but focusing on what she said 'how did she know maybe ghost is right maybe she is a shard of the traveler but whoever these ponies are I'll have to help them with there problem just so I can get home' you think as you follow them back to the train station. "Uh hey uh light thing," the pink pony said calling you ghost. He appears "yes?" He asked looking at her "so how many Gods have you killed?" You stop in your place. "How- how did you-" "She's pinky pie she just knows," the rainbow pony said flying to your level. You say nothing but chuckle 'maybe they aren't so bad' you think as you enter the train heading to this ponyville. logbook#2 Well I've had my talk with I guess the shard of the traveler her word are wisdom something I guess the speaker would say but even then she needs help I need help this world need help and since I'm trapped here until they find a way ill be helping to give serves if they need anything. But putting that aside I'm going to think about my powers it seems that both light and dark don't want to work together I'm going to have to find a way to fix this this pony twilight does live in a tree maybe that could help. Ps. I found a letter on my back and it talks about a wedding ill have to give it to Twilight. She is taking me to this picnic so I guess that should be the right time. //-------------------------------------------------------// A crimson bond //-------------------------------------------------------// A crimson bond Well, that's something that you will forget after showing Twilight the invention she started to sing and all that stuff you don't sing it's stupid. But she is now heading back to see her brother she offered to come with her. You turn down the offer and just have a look around ponyville. As you make your way around the place you can't shake the feeling about those changelings. 'They could be anywhere I have to think about this' but then you think about that wedding too. Just thinking of someone else makes you a bit sad it gets your ghost's attention. "What's wrong?" He asked You look around and spot a bakery "let's talk about it in that bakery" you said making your way in. As you enter in you see pinky pie at the front counter "oh hello guardian" she said. The whole room goes quiet as they spot you. You don't mind and just walk to a seat and sit down. Pinky comes up holding a notebook "what would you like to order?" she asked. You didn't answer but just think about someone special. "Hellllooo," she said in a sing-song voice making you look at her "water," you said "okay one glass of water," she said before dashing into the kitchen. One of the colts who look at you with curious "You alright their partner," he asked "Just fine I'm just thinking of someone," you said. Your ghost appeared again "oh her" he said looking down. "Oh, you got someone special! who is she?" Pinky asked looking at you You can't help but chuckle "Well, we don't go by a special someone but goes by a crimson bond it all started..." [=================================] Years ago today this week was the crimson days a day to work together with your bond and never leave them. Shaxx had a game called crimson days. But you aren't in the mood for his games you and your bond Ratchet. But you were on a vanguard mission with her. Finding a vex conflux that has data on the vanguard secret protected by fallen. You drop the edge looking at the base and you hear someone landing behind you. Looking back you see Ratchet walking up holding a dreg by the leg dragging it. "Well hello, your highness" you joked. She giggled "oh stop it," she said sitting by you "What do we have?" "It's a nest down there thousand of them waiting for us and oh I got you something" you smiled and pull out a detonator "Oh I love you," she said grabbing it. You look back seeing both you and Ratchet's ghost talking about something "Hey, love birds we got work to do!" You shout. As they both look at you they bump into each other and chuckle before disappeared. You then look at Ratchet and nod. She chuckled and pushed the button and half of the camp exploded. Then soon you both jump down making your entrance. Fallen cone out of the smoke looking at you and roars with hatred and form a circle around you and Ratchet you look at her and she does the same. Both of you nod before you and her use the power. You went with nova bomb and she went with the fist of havoc. After the explosion, you grab your shotgun and run into battle with your crimson bond. As you continue on your objectives you hear the sound of vex communicating. "Ah, stupid robots" you muttered getting behind a wall and quickly reloading your gun. Now done reloading you turn to... Nope there dead already Ratchet stands on top of them "to slow lovely" she said jumping down. You chuckled and shake your head. "She's good," your ghost said. You say nothing but continue jumping down catching up with her. You soon enter a chamber full of dead fallen and vex. "What happens here?" Ratchet muttered picking up a vex body. You walk up and see "my God there building a nuke," you said looking at the missile that was done and ready to launch. But then soon a huge harpy come out of the ground spitting out a goblin. You and Ratchet point your weapons at the abomination "I'll handle this get that missile," you said walking up to the thing that begins to eat another goblin. [=================================] You were badly hurt but you can still fight "ghost how are we holding?" You ask as you hid behind the creation. You've tried everything and nothing works "ratchet have you stop the rocket yet?" You asked "Almost," she said You grab your shotgun reload and point at- "oh shit!" You were then launched into a wall it breaks part of your armor and your gun and it's hard to see. The abomination spawns a harpy and eats it again and soon it begins to glow. "Ratchet detonate missile," you said "What!?" "Y-you heard me" you grunt "No, I won't let you!" she said You get up and limp towards the monster but then were grab by Ratchet being thrown by her. "Ratchet?" You said before landing out "ratchet NO!" You say as you get up and limp towards her. She looks back and takes her helmet off. Her blond hair falls and she smiles pushing a button. And soon a vex shield forms blocking you to get to her. You place a hand on the shield "no... open the door" you said looking at her. "This should keep you safe from the explosion," she said calmly walking up putting a hand where yours is. "I love you," she said before she begins to cry and pushing the button. [=================================] "She died saving thousands of lives... After her death, I did only one thing I kept fighting... Fighting for my crimson bond for her" you say looking around seeing almost all the ponies crying especially pinky pie who had her hair down. "I'm sorry for your loss," she said You nod before remembering "I did fond one thing that belongs to her" you say pulling out a neckless from your pocket "this was hers when I first met her" you say looking down smiling behind your helmet. You pick up the water and walk out "thank for the water" you say leaving the building heading to Twilight's home. As you enter you see the baby dragon Spike who's reading a book "oh hello guardian" he said leaving a bookmark and putting it back on the shelf. "Would you like anything?" "Yes the history books, please," you asked He nods then gets a laser and grabs two books "here you go" he said. You gab them by magic and begin to float in the air reading about the world. logbook#3 So I told the story about my crimson bond and well when I think about her I'm pretty sure that she's looking down at me and smiling. But then now I'm reading the textbook to understand the world and how things work. But still, I miss her she was everything to me but I'm not here to share feelings in these logs I just need to explain on what is happening that's it. PS Twilight will be home soon I'll have to ask some questions about these elements? //-------------------------------------------------------// The wedding draws near //-------------------------------------------------------// The wedding draws near It's been five days since you've arrived here in the land called Equestria. You've also learned that Twilight and her friends shear a power together called the elements of harmony. Power of friendship something that you can't get over 'friendship Magic?' You first think about hearing that from Twilight. But anyway you are right now enjoying your reading on this star swirl the bearded. As night approaches you feel a chill up your spine making you look around. You grab your shotgun from your back and walk out. It's a cold night but this feeling is colder and it is leading you to sugar cube corner where Twilight is talking about that wedding. As you draw near you see pinky pie enter in so you decide to go in. "So do any of you have any-" Twilight stopped seeing you enter "oh hi guardian I thought that you did not want to come," you say nothing but look around. She sees you with your shotgun "is there something wrong?" You feel it colder when you look at Pinky. Aiming you the shoot her right in her head exploding everywhere, they all scream Fluttershy past out along with rarity and Applejack and Rainbow begin to charge at you "Stop look," you say They do and look at pinky... No, it wasn't it was well what remains of a changeling scout "see it not pinky pie" you say disintegrating the body leaving its green blood. And just then Pinky walks in "oh hello Guardian did you have a green soda and was drinking with your helmet on silly," she said grabbing a mop "Yeah silly" you muttered "Uh, should we tell-" "No" you interrupted your ghost. You look at them and give them an apology and head back to the library. It also looks like you need to tell Celestia as well. But there is one thing you want to try again meditation. As you sit in the middle of the room you begin to close your eyes behind your helmet you feel the world-changing into your spot that you did last time and as you see your light, your ghost, and that boar and a dark blue pony. "Do not be alarmed, my friend" she said You just look at her 'is she also a shard? How is she here?' Clearing your head you get up and your ghost flies over to her "how did you get here?" He asked "what my magic can do it allows me to help ponies in their dreams if they are having a nightmare," she said "So you're not here," you asked. She nodded sitting down and looks at your light sitting on a branch making a defense stand. You then sit back in your pose and wait for questions. "So your here because we dreaming?" Your ghost asked "I've entered your dream because of how you are feeling" she answered "Feeling what?" "Wisdom and anger," she said looking at your ghost. You are thinking and she is correct you do feel anger but from who? Looking down for a moment you then see the handle of the black hand cannon on your waist. You still hear both of them talking but you continued. *GUNSHOT* They both look at you see you standing up and using ace. You sit back down also seeing your light and darkness look at you as much you don't want to use the gun she asked why you hold your anger "what is that?" She said getting up looking at the gun "This is the ace of spades a gun that belongs to an Exo named Cayde-6" ghost said flying over to you. "I see now," she said "I never got your name," you asked. She looks at you and smiled "Luna" she answered "It is nice to meet you," you said. She gets up and sees your light and Darkness, are getting ready to fight. "I must wake up now we can continue to talk when we meet again... Goodbye," you say slowly before disappearing. [=================================] As you woke up you sit back down on the ground along with some book that you were reading. Putting them away you hear Twilight walking in. She says nothing but looks at you but then she looks away "questions" you blurt. She nods using her magic to bring a chair for her to sit on "how did you know that was a changeling?" The truth is you had no clue you just trusted the feeling. You say nothing looking away then back at her "just feeling" you say. She says nothing but thinking "The question is why are they licensing to a wedding meeting?" Ghost said She nods "well changelings have love as their food source," she says as she looks at a book. "Hmm that does explain a lot... wait a minute" you Stop getting up grabbing the invitation it explains about Captain Shining Armor and princess mi amore cadenza. You look back at Twilight "who is your brother marrying?" you asked. "Ohh her she is Cadence the... Princess of love... Oh, I see now" she slowly said realized. You grab you weapons and head out "Hey, where you going?" She said catching up to you "we need to drop the news" you say calling your sparrow. Twilight back up seeing the vehicle spawn "I'll be back" you say before speeding up. It was tuff making your way to canterlot but you do see the train. You change your course and head for the train landing on top of it you hear some ponies scream in surprise but you don't care. As you enter the train some of the ponies that were left panicking seeing you enter in but then soon they began to calm down. You take a seat and wait until you get to the castle. [=================================] As the day slowly begins you've made it at the right timing. As you leave the train you notice that some of the guards are looking at you funny but putting g that aside you continue on your path and soon both guards let you in to go see her. As you enter the throne room you don't see her but you do hear that humming again. You walk around the room and look at the tapestries one shows them with Celestia and the blue pony Luna. Speaking of Luna you still are wondering how she got in your meditation she did say that she help ponies in their dreams. 'Focus think about her later I need to talk to the Princess'. "Ah Guardian what brings you here," Celestia said putting her pet back in its cage. "I've had new on the changeling" you day walking to her. Her smile fades and she gives a serious look "what do you know?" "I've found one that was following Twilight and her friends. They were giving ideas about that wedding but I did not participate but I had a..." You look at a guard that was at the door standing there and you have that cold feeling. Looking back at Celestia you grab your auto rifle "Allow me to show you" you aim at the guard's leg and shoot a bullet. The guard falls to the ground and screams in pain. Before any other guards reacted you raise a hand to keep them in their place and walk up to the guard and put your gun on his head. "Reveal yourself," you said The guards cursed to himself and closed his eyes and then slowly a green fire surrounds him and shows his true form. [=================================] "You will never forget this!" The changeling said before guards take him away. "It proves everything ill change the guard's schedule for more on the wedding day," she said. You nod with that and finally make your way out your mission is complete. But as you were on your way out you were stopped by Shining armor "Hello, captain" ghost greets appearing. He nods and replies "hello guardian," Shining armor said. "Is there something that you need?" You asked "I do I wanted to ask if you don't come to the wedding," he said. Well, that's surprising why is he asking that? "Why?" You asked tilting your head to the side. "Well I just want to have a normal wedding and Ponies are still scared of you and guards are whispering about you," he said. Looking back you see guards look in different directions when you look at them. Maybe he's right they still look a bit scared of you "I'll let your sister know then," you say walking out. [=================================] Now the guardian gone Shining armor head to his room heading to see Cadence. As he enters the room he sees her standing there with a smirk on her face "so?" "He not coming," Shining said. She nods and chuckles a little "good, good" she said rubbing her hoof on his back "go rest my love" she chuckled. His eyes turn green "yes my beloved" he muttered before laying down n the bed. And as soon he was on he intently went to sleep. Cadence chuckled before a green flame surrounds her and shows a dark tall bug horse with glowing eyes. "Now with that thing gone I can finally come here for what I wanted," she said before laughing very loud. Logbook #4 So I decided to not go to the wedding but who cares I'm not a fan of all that stuff. It did upset Twilight about me not going but the thing is now is that she wants me to make some friends while the wedding is going on and do it in canterlot. It took me a bit to think but then I agreed just to make her happy and all that. But the other thing I'm am curious about is Luna Celestia's younger sister. She well she had a way to be in my meditation I will have to find if there is a shard of the tracker here ill think about that later all I need is to make friends for her. //-------------------------------------------------------// I have a job to do //-------------------------------------------------------// I have a job to do The wedding day is tomorrow and well your not going just like Shining armor said that the pony community is still not used to you yet and you understand. Not even a fan of this wedding in the first place but it did make Twilight upset that you're not going but she did tell you to make some friends and uhh well. You just finished cleaning your gun the chaperon Amanda Holliday's mother gun putting it back on your back you get up and leave the blacksmith cleaning station thanking him and make your way back in town. You notice that some of the ponies are hidden behind their shops when they see you thinking that you're going to rob them or something like that but you don't care but your ghost... "I have a bad feeling," he said appearing next to you. You say nothing but nods. You were then stopped by a light blue filly "hello um human" she muttered looking down. You do nothing but your ghost flies down and looks at the pony "Hello there," he said flying to the filly's level. She let out a *peep* and then back away. Ghost then moves back to you "um maybe try something else" you chuckled "Move aside little light," you joked before getting down on one knee "sorry about that do you need something little one?" You asked The filly looks back up at you and nods "yeah" she muttered before smiling "follow me" she said before running away. You quickly get up and follow close to the young filly that leads you to a tree that has a ball on it "can you help me get my ball?" She said pointing at it. You think for a sec and then grab it out of the branch and hand it to the- wait where is she. "I'm over here Mr.," She said Looking up you see her in front of a dark alleyway standing with a happy smile "throw it to me, please" she said jumping up and down. You look at your ghost then back at the kid thinking "go on" ghost said bumping into your arm. Nodding you hold the ball and then throw it to her. She chuckled trying to get it but it then rolls into the alleyway and she runs in. You and your ghost decided to follow close and give her light but you then stop feeling something cold tingling down your spine "hello- mmpf" your ghost was then gone looking back you look to see- uh oh you see five changelings on holding your ghost in a bag and just before you could do anything you were hit in the head by a rock by someone making you fall on one knee. Now having a hard time to see you look up to see Cadence with an evil glare "take him to the caves" she said a bit different than how she would talk. You were hit n the head again and again until you were out cold. [=================================] The changelings drag the guardian to the cave as best they can but soon stop ad they make their destination "you won't get away with this!" Ghost said still trying to get out of the leather bag. Soon he was the first one to get thrown into the cave and then the guardian but soon as he falls they hear him screaming in pain. She looks back seeing him with a rock stab in this chest showing the blood coming. He raised a hand but it then falls as more blood comes out. She laughs as she walked away along with the changeling as they closed the cave. "Guardian?" Ghost says as he continues to get out. He very luckily does get out and looks around for his guardian he then sees him dead by a rock stab in his chest "Hold on," he said before glowing brighter than exploring light. [=================================] You grunt in pain getting up tubing your head but then look around and see that your weapons are gone. Looking at your ghost you tell him "well since my stuff has been stolen ghost get me Thunderlord, luna's howl, and perfect paradox," you say Ghost nods and disappears and soon the weapons appeared. Grabbing Luna's howl out you begin to explore a way out. Soon hours later you find nothing but more cave to explore you see carts and tracks that lead from place to place. You quickly turn due to the noise of rocks falling and hear movement. Swapping to your shotgun perfect paradox you walk quietly to the source of the sound. You turn to find- 'what the heck?' Princess Cadence? But how or maybe she's one of them. Raising your gun and point at her you shout "revile yourself now!" She does nothing but backs away "No wait I'm not a changeling," she said You're not falling for that but it's now questioning that she's not attacking you lowering the gun down a bit you look at her. She hurt cut everywhere on her body and her mane dirty lowering the gun more you think that she could be her but how? "How did you get down here?" You asked putting your gun on your back. She stays in her place and answers "The changeling threw me down here," she said You think about something "have we met already?" She shakes her head. 'This has to be her' you think. Giving up you expect that she must not be a changeling "Fine listen to me that wedding that you are supposed to be at is starting soon we need to talk to Celestia," you say turning around. Ghost appeared behind you and scans her body "you are hurt a bit but I'm pretty sure that everything will be alright" he explains. You both continue your walk around hoping to find something but then find... Twilight? Quickly grabbing your hand cannon and point at Twilight "Twilight Is that you?" Ghost said flying by you. She nods "Yeah, it's me Guardian what are you doing here?" She asked. You say nothing but then ghost answered for you "were in the same situation as you are" he said. And soon you finished you and ghost decided to scout ahead you hear he two ponies talking and figuring something but you don't care. Then soon you hear singing? Oh man, it is going to be a long day. LOGBOOK #5 So I've had my first death in the land and luckily the light is still strong. But even then the changeling is in that wedding we need to find a way to get out of this cave I wasted my time hearing the real Cadence sing a song and I don't know what to say. But changing the subject I think how I know something about the enemy when a changeling uses their power early I can feel it. But if they have used their power long ago I can't feel anything it's something I'll have to get used to. Ps I know shining said for me not to go but I have a job to do. //-------------------------------------------------------// Another war part 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Another war part 1 The cave is dark except for your ghost and Twilight lighting the cave still looking for a way out. And as for Cadence, she is still hurt but she won't stop until she gets to her husband Shining but- 'oh shit'... The wedding is today and twilight is not there and a changeling is taking cadence place. You needed to think fast "ghost where are we through the map?" You asked He stops and flies over to you and shoots a map layout with a yellow dot under the middle of a street. Those then zoom in closer on the yellow dot, and you could see a grid next to it. Looking to the left you nod "Everyone stands back," you say before you begin to run in that direction and jump up and you feel the void expanding and getting bigger. Letting go you throw the nova bomb at the wall that soon explodes and shows the sewer system. The cave begins to slowly collapse first Cadence and Twilight we're the first then you. As you all make it out you intently look up to see the grid charging your arc you throw a thunderbolt at it and soon flys off getting up you look back down and pull Twilight and Cadence up and look around. "We need to hurry!" Twilight said Cadence nods and looks at you then back at Twilight "But how? We won't make it on time" she said. You look at your ghost who does the same, you nod and he does the same then summoning your sparrow. The ponies that were gathering around then gasp seeing the vehicle appearing and you getting on. You look back at the two "get on my back and hold on" you simply say. Cadence was the first but as you knew she was having a hard time getting on and also twilight. Thank God for training in the crucible because having two ponies on your back is a pain but you can hold it you just think that they can hold on. Them both saying that there ready you start at a slow past but then begin to go a little faster. The group of the ponies split apart letting you go through and soon then you go fast. Your lucky a famous wedding Is happening because there are not many ponies in the way. As you come closer you have that cold feel go down your spine almost making you stop. "Why are we slowing down," cadence asked You move to give the sign for them to move which they gladly did. You get off and look at the entrance and the source is coming from there. Grabbing both your guns you walk up but only be stopped by Twilight "What are you doing?" She asked You say nothing... 'speechless typical' you hear the words echo. Clearing your throat you look down at her "changelings are up ahead" you say walking past her reloading your hand cannon you continue. As you make your way you see two guards talking to each other to let the time pass. You feel a cold tingle down your spine knowing that they are changelings. "Have you heard the other day that somepony has possibly discovered a Ske-" The guard was shot in the head soon the other guard was about to do something until you wrap an arm around his head and snap his neck. Twilight walks up having a disgusted look seeing the bodies that turn into changelings but as for Cadence, she didn't care she only wanted her husband back. You get up and put your gun away and kick the door down. "Then I pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss-" *gunshot* Everyone gasps as they see you walk in with Twilight "stop right there!" Twilight said. The fake Cadence frowns but then has a surprising look seeing you there. "Still believe that I'm dead?" You said "How did you escape?" She said Twilight smiles "simple. We have a friend from another world," she said looking back at you with a smile. You do nothing but point your hand cannon at the fake "Reveal yourself, changeling," you say The fake Cadence's eyes turn green and she stares daggers at you. A green flame swivels around her making other ponies gasp. And soon the real look was bigger changeling with a mane of dark blue matching her tail with green eyes. Chrysalis laughs walking down "so you finally found out. good for you but it's too late," she said walking up to Cadence. You get in front of her and point your gun at her "Back away now," you say She hissed stepping back but the turns away and laughs "soon all the love in the world will be mine and you too late" "Never you won't succeed not while the dome is still up," Cadence said walking past you. Queen Chrysalis chuckled "Oh the dome will drop right love," she said looking back at Shinning. "Mmmm" he hummed Cadence gasp then runs to him but then was stopped by her. *thump* you hear something not too far you walk to the window and see "shit" you mumble. There you could see nearly thousands of Changelings outside trying to break in and soon other ponies gasp. Looking back you see Celestia on the floor with a burnt mark on her horn 'oh no' you think running up and getting in front of everyone. The queen laughs "oh how hilarious the creature care for them" she said flying up. "guardian" you hear from behind. Looking back you see Twilight and her friends who were in dresses were around Celestia. You run-up to her "Protect Twilight" she mumbled before looking at Twilight "Twilight get the elements and stop the changelings" she muttered before laying on the ground passing out. She gets up and looks at her friends, she nods and they do the same before taking there dress off. You follow knowing what Celestia wanted you to do but as you leave you hear the group say "Rarity," they all say You see the mare that was holding the clothes, but then rolls her eyes and drops them and catches up "You can run but you can't hide!" Chrysalis laughed. As you all make your way this time the thumping sound gets louder and the dome begins to break. And soon the dome breaks and changelings begin to charge down "keep moving" you shout firing your gun. As you make your way up you see thousand ready to fight. "Look like we're going to have to do this the hard way" rainbow said slamming her hooves together before running up to... Herself 'shit' you thought as you see her get pushed back. You get in front of them putting your guns away charging your light "Get to the castle ill handle them," you say creating your neck before you charge your arc and activating stromtrance "Go!" You shout moving straight into the hive. Hundred of the die in seconds not handling your power and soon your light burns out. You soon take your weapons out and begin your firing but soon you feel changelings pile on you making you fall to the ground. But then soon you feel the wight get less making you get up. You see Rainbow dash flying around and crashing into some changelings, Pinky pie is using a cannon firing at Changelings. You see Fluttershy having a hard time but she is helping. Quickly getting up you grab your hand cannon you fire at some changelings that were about to attack her they fall next to her and you help her up "We need to get to the castle to get those elements" ghost said You nod getting up, you see Twilight using her magic running over to you "this way" she said. More Changelings appear and you see ponies running away. "I need to help the ponies," you say Twilight nods looking at her friends and soon make their way running from changelings. You look around seeing ponies run away "get to the train station hid there!" You shout running towards a burning house //-------------------------------------------------------// Another war part 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Another war part 2 You run through town trying to find some ponies a hoping that they got out of the city and into safety. "For the queen!" A changeling shouts charging right at you. You simply raise your hand cannon and fire a round at hit the big right in the head killing it intently. You hear it crash in a building and soon a scream makes you turn and face where the changeling crashed. It crashed in a little house and it was on fire "Hold on!" You shout before running in. You see a blue filly that was looking all over the place until it tripped over the dead changeling. You slowly walk in making the filly whimper "Calm down I'm not going to hurt you," you say calmly before putting a and on her head. She gasped by the hand but calmed down and looks at you. Ghost then appears and flies next to her witch the filly did not flinch at all. He then looks back at you "she's blind" he said before disappearing. Knowing what you need to do you pick up the blind filly and walk out of the building. You see ponies begin to run away and some guards follow close to them. You then follow them "Hold!" You shout getting there attention They look back at you seeing you run up and place the filly on the ground and look back at the guards "this filly needs to find her mother" you say The guard eyes went wide before tears fall out "S-Snowdrop" the guard mumbled before hugging the filly "Daddy!" She muttered before crying into the hug "I-I thought I would not see you again" she said in-between sobs. He pets her mane "it is fine daughter daddy is here" he looks at you and has a smile "thank you" he said You nod and turn around and then run back into the city. It was getting hard to see through this smoke but you said you can see some glowing eyes. Taking your part you grab your hand cannon and charge right in. You missed your first shot but tackle the changeling to the ground "No, wait, please!" Did he mumble before crying? Before you could even do anything another changeling appeared and tackles you "Stay away from my brother!" it said before grabbing the other changeling and disappearing. Not knowing what happens you don't care but get up and run back into town. Fire, smoke, ash, and destroyed building reminds you of home when you were handling the red legion. Taking back your home. This was kinda the same, stop the changeling and save Canterlot. Your train of thought breaks by the sound of a shotgun a very familiar shotgun. Turning the corner you see two changelings messing with your guns before they threw you into the cave. "How does that hold it correctly?" You walk up and grab it and point at them "like this" you simply say before shooting at it. The other screams and tries to shot the ace of spaids at you. You just said your hand holding the chaperone and fired at him and his head exploded like a Fallen but losing its blood. Now happy to have almost all your guns but find your auto rife next to a dead changeling with a single hole on its head 'dumb ass'. Now fully set with your old weapons back you march deep into the city. You don't see any more ponies running away but you can't stop looking for survivors. You think- "no" you let your mind not think about that, it makes you feel cold, cold. You feel darkness craw up to your fingertips 'No no, not now I don't want to use it not here' you thought stopping slowly. You could just feel the hawk and the boar's battle cry before crashing into each other. You want to stop and focus but you can't, you think of Cayde-6 and his death, you think of Ratchet, you feel the light leave you before you were pushed off of the ship and crashing into the ground. You fall to the ground panting but you feel the cold still there. You see changeling appear from the smoke and form a circle around you. You remember the line between light and dark... 'Let embrace the darkness' the boar's battle cry is loud and you scream with it shooting an ice trident out of the ground. You pick it up and look at the army of changelings and get off the ground floating a bit using the power of winter wrath. Throwing ice bombs army some get frozen but then explodes shooting shards everywhere. The screaming cries of pain are like music making you want to laugh but you did not you fall you the ground and pant but not tired no but scared letting this control you. You get up and see some wounded Changelings run away it's a good victory indeed but Queen Crystals do still have Cadence's husband. Thinking on that you look at the castle seeing it as in ruins but still intact you run toward the castle hoping not to see more changelings. You do but when they see you they run away but some still try to fight. It was easy they just say something before running away it very clear to you, you hate changelings. Now getting to the front door you kick it open and find the hallways empty but filled with green slime. Not wanting to know you keep moving to the throne room. Shock to see the six ponies scattered across the room and you even see Cadence trying to get to her lover but talks to the ground. "Weak!" Chrysalis mumbled before looking up at you She glairs at you "so you may have scared my hive but you don't scare me you nothing but being that does not belong here!" She shouts. You do nothing but stand there, you do grab your shotgun tho. The queen soon then walks down "I'll enjoy ending you once and for all!" she said before charging up her magic. You soon then ready your weapons and take your part Twilight had a hard time with her. You won't aloud that to happen, you will end this once and for all. You feel the darkness creep up your arm and knowing that it wants to be free once more you look up at her and put an arm to the side. The ice soon comes out slowly making a trident you look at it and then back at her. Her magic fades away as she sees the power. You see Cadence behind her slowly crawling to Shining armor but soon a barrier stops her. "Not so fast," Chrysalis said looking back at her but then back at you. She then runs at you and then flies around you you feel magic hit your legs not that painful you then throw some of your dark power at her. She was fast the ice bombs were useless so instead of you grab your guns (Luna's howle) and fire around hoping In getting her. You see her stop for air making you do your part and aim at her and- *click* You're out of ammo 'shit' you thought to yourself. You put your gun away and tell your ghost to give you "the lament" soon the weapon appears on your back. Taking the blade out you give it a look but then take a stand raising the sword. Chrysalis chuckles and flys to the ground and looks at you. You charged screaming at the top of your lungs. You soon hear a clank like a sound that another blade stops you. You see her horn was blocking the attack but her horn was turning dark green. And a loud blast shoots you to the end of the room only for the wall to catch you. Your vision goes blurry you can't feel anything "Guardian!" You hear the six ponies shout running towards you. You don't hear them anymore but only see the game and the boar fighting and have the hawk stand on the boar who was tired. The hawks battle cry makes you feel the arc making you get back up. Which you do and jump up high and raise your hand. The arc forms around it making look like a demonic dragon hand. A big beam of arc leaves your hand and shoots at the barrier that protects Shinning armor. You soon fall to the ground and see the main six around you "Get cadence to him they have a power that would end all of this" you simply say before losing your strength and sit on the ground. You have not used this much power in one day you feel like shit and you need to rest possibly meditate. 'No rest just get my strength back' you thought to yourself. Sitting back and relax for now. Funny you did not realize that They were talking but soon you see Cadence next to Shining armor before they make a glowing pink heart. You feel getting pulled away and you let it. (=================================) It was a victory indeed Twilight and her friends did it. Cadence looks at her husband and they are hugging not seeing each other for a while and happy to see each other again. Twilight looks back at where the guardian would be at but he's not there. 'Oh no,' Twilight thought to herself looking outside to see him next to a rock and blood around him. He does not move "Guardian?" Twilight said Soon the others walk up next to her seeing him there. "Guardian no laying down we won!" Pinky said hoping next to him ... Nothing Pinky looks back at the others and her hair goes down "oh no" she mumbled. They soon we're around him hoping for him to get up but he didn't and they begin to tear up "He didn't get a chance to go home," Twilight said. He was a hero for sure he was- "Oh yeah sorry" his ghost appears next to him and begins to glow. And soon his body floats up in the air and the light brings him back to life. (=================================) Grunting in pain you get up and see the six ponies standing there looking at you with disbelief. You look around and then back at them "Did I do something?" "Guardian! They shout and hug you. Did you miss something, ah you don't care but only stand there and pat one of there heads. LOGBOOK #6 So a victory on against the Changelings, Cadence was married to Shinning armor and all that stuff. Plus also Celestia rewards me for Hero of Canterlot city guards and ponies would bow whenever I'm in the city. Plus also there building a place near Twilight where I can meditate to put my stuff. They also have dropped the news that they might find a way for me to go home I hope they're right. Ps. I'll need to craft ammo for my guns Author's Note Act 1 done now continue with the series just to let you know that there would be some side stuff that would feature the guardian like an episode of mlp that would see him. I would be making side stuff for him. So as for now see you next time //-------------------------------------------------------// New and the old friend and enemies //-------------------------------------------------------// New and the old friend and enemies "Look at them just walking around acting like there's no problem? Oh wrong they are" A robot hand touches the creature's shoulder making him look back at his partner. "We're close done with everything. We just wait for your command my leader" the same creature said. "Good... Very good shut it down and get the portal back up and wait for my mark. Go" The tiny creature nods using magic to summon a black portal and walks in and disappeared. The taller creature looks back at the town seeing the Guardian walk around reading a book. "Oh, Guardian you brought nothing but pain to my family killing them one by one not caring that they matter to me... Oh, Guardian when you were reborn on earth and killed the heart of the black garden, and going to the prison of elder to kill Skolas, and killing the taken king's son and him, also killing a corrupted warmind, to a cabal god, vex god and then a worm God. And then avenging and killing the prince... Oh Guardian you're just a tool to them they use you to kill everything. But now" He pulls out a shard and puts it on his back with six other shards and begins to glows bright blue. "I'll be your worst nightmare ill make sure that you're afraid of your darkness I'll make you want you to kill yourself and never come back... I'll take away everything that you build... Just like what you did to my family" he soon begins to feel the dark ice form around his metal four arms. And the ice makes more arms that make him have eight arms. "This is what true darkness is!" He shouts firing was of ice everywhere then launching it into the sky and clouds begin to form and move slowly toward the town. He laughs loud crossing his arms and looks at the town and then looks at the city of canterlot. "And as for these elements", he puts a sarcastic tone "ill make them suffer for being on the wrong side! They made the wrong choice to go against me," he said before looking to his left to see in the distance to see another feature like him but only orange. "Ah, friend! Good to see you still in one piece" he said "Can't you see it Taniks? everything dying and the Guardian's head on a pike" he said. The orange one named Taniks nods his head slowly walk to the side looking at the town just wanting to destroy everything for the guardian killing him multiple times. "Agreed," Taniks said turning around before looking back "I've mapped out the whole land just like you wanted me to do. But what do we do now?" He asked "Return to the crypt and get ready for this. It would be easy to kill one guardian but for the army of ponies we will handle them" Taniks nod and opens a portal and walks in but turns around "let's move Atraks" Taniks said making him look back and nod "yes" he mumbled before looking back but then heading into the portal. Act 2 is on the way
