Declaration of War

Chapter One: Declaration of War

As everyone was ready, they were putted into the carriages and were in Canterlot within several minutes. As they all got to the Castle of Canterlot, they saw that Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were waiting for them in the The throne rooms. So was Princess Cadance with them too.

"Hello my dear Ponies, Please come with me." Princess Celestia went to the gardens and the Ponies followed her.

"We should both stay behind.." Princess Cadance whispered to Princess Luna.

"That seems wise." Luna said.

As they were all guided by Princess Celestia, she then showed the place where they held Discord, seeing that he was gone, they all gasped.

"How did.. he escape?!" Twilight asked.

"I do not know, but I have felt that there is tension in the world now causing Discord to be free once again." Princess Celestia said.

"So ya want us to stop 'im?" Applejack said.

Pinkie Pie growled and snarled.

"That big, dumb meanie!" Fluttershy yelled.

"Another time..?" Rarity grumbled.

"Alright! another chance to smack that pufferface into tommorow!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I'll be happy to help." Silent Wind said.

Princess Celestia smiled at vigorous spirits of the Mane six and Silent Wind. She noddded.

"Then come with me." Princess Celestia said.

Once they got to the Tower which held the Elements of Harmony, She stopped for a moment.

"Why'd we stop?" Rainbow Dash said.

"I wanted to explain to your dear friend, Silent Wind about who exactly is Discord." Princess Celestia said.

"Hm?" Silent Wind raised an eyebrow.

Princess Celestia took a big sigh and began to speak.

"Discord is a Draconequus, He is also the spirit of disharmony and has cause havoc around Equestria for as long as I can remember. A millennia ago, Discord ruled Equestria in a eternal Chaos and cause pain and sadness for Earth Ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi alike! He freed himself a second time but thanks to our Six dear friends here, they all binded together and stopped him again. But now, he is free once more. We will make sure he doesn't free himself this time!"

Silent Wind was silent for a moment and closed his eyes. Everypony looked at him with a small stare. He then opened his eyes.

"I see that you want him to be immobilized, but this Discord seems very dangerous. Even I already have my own problems. But, I will help anyway I can. That's the Courageous way. You said this Discord a Draconequus?" Silent Wind questioned.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Princess Celestia asked.

"It's just that there's not much Draconequus' anymore. Discord may be the last Draconequus on Equestria, don't you think?"

"Yeah, I've always thought of that." Twilight said.

Silent Wind nodded.

"Anyways, lets get the elements of Harmony and defeat Discord, We'll defeat him in no time!" Silent Wind exclaimed.

"Yeah!" The Six mares said in unison.

Princess Celestia smiled at Silent Wind and the Mane six.

"Your courage gives me a smile and it also gives me hope."

Then all the sudden, there was another voice on top of them.

"In this world, there is no such thing as hope.."

The voice made Silent Wind's head look up and he saw his own Father with his dark-grey fur and his White mane wearing pitch-black robes. Looking at them upside down.

"You, what're you doing here?!" Silent Wind asked.

"Who the hay are you!?" Rainbow Dash said.

"I'm the Leader of The Silentblades, Void Silentblade."

"So you're the founder of the Silentblades?!" Twilight yelled.

"No, The Silentblades is actually a Family bloodline, not to mention 'tis also a Family business also. The real founder is Shadow Moon Silentblade, the first one to be the Leader of the Silentblades."

"Enough talk! Why are you here!?" Princess Celestia said.

"Oh forgive me, I am here to talk a negotiation."

"A negotiation?" Rarity said.

"Yes, a negotiation. But first, a small history if you please." Void said.

Princess Celestia glared at Void Silentblade with anger.

"Long ago when the Silentblades were established, The Leader was given a power usually powers to help him or her in battle. They passed on from son to grandson and so forth.. the power usually bearedd a small monster inside to help the power work but there's a small catch.."

Everypony was silent.

"Since the power has a monster controlling it, they can control the host also but the host can try to fight back it's will. The monster controlling the power is called Shade. This power is indeed risky seeing that using these powers come with a cost."

Silent Wind's eye twitched.

"Everytime the power is used, It seemingly has a deteriorating effect on the user. While using their powers, they'll eat away at your body causing the hosts to feel pain after using the powers and will cause enough damage to the body to kill them or otherwise, the monster inside will overwhelm the host and the body will forever be the monster's body."

"Is that all because you're boring me." Silent Wind said.

"So, what is this Negotiation you talk about?" Princess Celestia said.

"Oh, it's quite simple really. Hand over Silent Wind."

"Wh-What?!" Twilight said.

"Like I'd want to go back!" Silent Wind said.

"What do you want with him..?!" Princess Celestia said.

"I guess he's never told you.." Void said.

Princess Celestia and the Mane Six raised an eyebrow at Silent Wind.

"He's the current host to Shade, the monster."

"What?! but he isn't a Leader of the Silentblades!" Twilight said.

"She's such a fool and you love this Mare?" Void said to Silent Wind.

"Watch your mouth..!" Silent Wind snarled.

"So tell us! What are you intentions for Silent Wind?!" Princess Celestia said.

"Simple, I'll take out Shade from within him and extract it into me."

"He is no longer your's anymore. He is one of us. The right kind of Ponies." Twilight said.

"Hmph, Silent Wind is still mines. Afterall, he's my Son afterall." Void said.

All of them were extremely shock to hear the Silent Wind was actually a Son of a Silentblade Leader, Silent Wind cursed under his breath.

"What?! That has to be a lie!" Rainbow Dash said.

"What an' tarnation?!" Applejack yelled.

"Damn it..." Silent Wind whispered.

"I am simply taking back what's the property of the Silentblades. Since Shade is part of Silent Wind's soul, he'll die instantly if I take the power of the Monster, Shade out of his body. But if I insert Shade into me, I'll be stronger than Celestia. And I'll take all of Equestria."

"We won't let you take him.. his is now one of us, and we all look after one another!" Princess Celestia said.

"Foolishness. Fine then, I have warned you. I now declare that the Silentblades will declare War on Canterlot." Void announced.

"What? War?! are you crazy!?" Twilight said.

"I thought I was indeed crazy, but this is quite perfect. Now I must go now, next time we meet, we will greet each other within three days with weapons and magic and I will not be so talkative." Void then teleported out the tower and left a small feather of his wing.

"I'm very sorry for all of this.." Silent Wind muttered.

"Don't be, I do not know why this thing is inside you. But we will fight for you because we will not lose to such scum as your father." Princess Celestia said.

"You can bet on that with apple cider on top!" Applejack said.

"We'll punch 'em so hard, they won't know what hit 'em!"

"I..I..I don't know.." Fluttershy whispered.

"You are a dear loved one of Twilight's I will indeed join to protect you." Rarity said.

"I'm gonna throw so much cake at them!" Pinkie Pie snickered.

Twilight went up to Silent Wind's face.

"You mean a lot to me. I won't let somepony take you and see you die. I'll make sure that never happens!" Twilight hugged Silent Wind. Twilight began to tear up.

Princess Celestia then moved up to Silent Wind too with a serious face.

"If we are to do War with the Silentblades, then so be it. I feel that you carry something important with you and that is courage. We will all fight for you so that I may Equestria in eternal peace. I will not stand to see my Faithful Student's loved one die! It is you who carries the fate of Equestria in your hooves. You die, and the hope of Equestria with die with you."

"I promise not die, you can count on that!" Silent Wind smiled and so did Princess Celestia.

"You smile brings courage and hope to all."

"I see ya made some friends, mate." A feminine voice said.

Silent Wind's eyes went open as He knew who it was, It was Golden Shot. An old friend of his.

"I couldn't help but hear that y'getting ready for War. That right?" Golden Shot said.

"Yeah so what?" Silent Wind said.

"Well the Civil War down south is done, mind If I bring my boys to help ya?" Golden Shot said.

"That'd be awesome." Silent Wind grinned.

"Great, I'll see ya next week for the party!" Golden Shot flew up into the air and left.

Everypony was very confused who was that. And Silent Wind saw that they were a bit confused who was that.

"Uh.. who in tarnation was that, Silent Wind?" Applejack wondered.

"Oh, an old friend who helped me after I left the Silentblades. She's a real tough Mare when you get to know her."

"She looked mean..." Fluttershy said.

"Don't worry, she looks mean but she's actually got a good heart."

"I hope she has many men.." Twilight said.

"Are kidding? that Mare looked like she had kingdom of men!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Her hairstyle was a bit messy." Rarity said.

After finding their rooms inside the Canterlot Castle guest rooms, Twilight talked to Silent Wind and wanted talk to him in Private out in the Gardens. They both went to the gardens and saw that it was sunset.

"How perfect." Silent Wind thought.

Silent Wind then focused his attention on Twilight who was looking at him a bit strangely.

"Silent Wind, I need to talk to you." Twilight said.

"Oh, yeah. What's up?" Silent Wind asked.

Twilight took a deep breath.

"How did you get this.. "thing" in you?"

Silent Wind raised an eyebrow and putted a hoof on his chin.

"I don't really know, I guess you can say I was born with it." Silent Wind explained.

"But didn't your father say that the power is given family to family member?" Twilight said.

"He did. Then it's strange then.." Silent Wind said.

Silent Wind then figured something out.

"Twilight, do you think that.. my mom had the power but.. somehow passed it to me?" Silent Wind said.

"It's possible, yes." Twilight said.

"I have find a bit more about this.." Silent Wind said.

"Okay, I think that's all I have to say.." Twilight kissed Silent Wind.

"Alright then!" Silent Wind began to go back inside.

"Silent Wind, wait." Twilight said.

Silent Wind halted for a moment.

"What is it?" He said.

Twilight closed her eyes and said something.

"Please promise me you'll live. Okay?"

Silent Wind's eye went wide and then went down a little. He then smiled.

"Don't worry as long as I know you're okay, then I'm okay. If you're always by me then you can make me feel better!" Silent Wind said. Those words made Twilight smile.

"Thank you." Twilight caught up to Silent Wind and pushed herself against him. And both of them went inside.

Within the castle of the Silentblades, the Six Elite advisors were talking to each other.

"I wonder how the old man is doing.." Ghost Spectre said.

"He should be fine." Deadly Rose was fixing her strings along her black violin.

"I hope so." Wing Beat said.

"What the Hay are you all doing?" Blood Roar came in with Lancer Pike, Brute and Lily Blade.

"We're planning, you buffoon." Sharp Thorn said.

"Shut up." Blood Roar said.

Sharp Thorn stood up but was told to sit by Magicius. Then they saw that Void was back.

"I see that, your back, Sir." Poison Cloud said.

"The Leaders of Canterlot do not listen... we attack Canterlot within three days. All of you shall prepare!"

"I and the others will gather all of our members. Will you be talking with Chrysalis?" Magicius said.

"Yes, I will. She will listen."

"Hmph, Alright then... we four will lead the members." Blood Roar said.

"Alright then.. we should move." Lily Blade said.

Blood Roar went to Lily Blade and whispered in her ear.

"I know that you still have a small tie to Silent Wind, but you must attack him on sight. You hear me?" Blood Roar whispered.

Lily Blade simply nodded.

"Let's go, you two. Geez!" Lance Pike said.

"Alright! sheesh, you're freaking impatient." Blood Roar ran to the other two.

Lily Blade followed the others. On her mind, she thought of Silent Wind and what they went through with him and his brother.

"Silent Wind.."

Finding Allies - Part One

Chapter Two: Finding Allies - Part One

Silent Wind opened his eyes, a bit groggy in the morning. He looked around and saw that Twilight and her friends were gone. He quickly got up and panicked and wondered where everyone went. He then saw a small note on the door. It was from Twilight.

Silent Wind, I went with my friends to the cafe to get brunch. Princess Celestia said she wanted to see you once you get up, Love you.

-Sincerely, Your Marefriend

Twilight Sparkle

Silent Wind then folded the paper and sighed, he went out of the guest room and down the stairs. He felt that Princess Celestia would be in the throne room. Waiting for him. He quickly went to the throne room and saw that Princess Celestia was indeed in the Throne room.

"Oh! good morning, Princess Celestia." Silent Wind bowed down to Princess Celestia.

"Hello there, Silent Wind. I need your help in this time of need." Princess Celestia said.

Silent Wind wondered what Princess Celestia needed from him. He spoke up so that he could know what Princess Celestia wanted from him.

"What do you need?" Silent Wind asked.

"I need you to go to a certain location."

"And I'm going to ask where is this location?" Silent Wind wondered.

"It's to the west of here. Have you heard of a place called the Horn-Magi University?" Princess Celestia said.

Silent Wind knew it but never went there. He went there when he was quite young and during that time, was with the Silentblades.

"I know it but never went there. It's a University for Unicorns who want to unravel secrets that are related to Magic. Am I right?" Silent Wind said.

"Yes, I hope they can help us in this War we will soon fight within three days. So, we must muster all of the support we can get." Princess Celestia explained.

Silent Wind understanded the situation they were in. He knew that battling the Silentblades and the Changelings would not be easy. But, inside of him. He knew he had to do this so that they could get all of the Allies they could get.

"Alright then, I'll go there. I'll be back!" Silent Wind flew out of one of the balconies and moved toward to the Horn-Magi University.

Before he left, he quickly flew around Canterlot to find Twilight to inform her that he would be gone for this afternoon and back tonight. He soon saw her with her five friends, coming back from the Cafe. He flew down and Twilight was startled for a moment.

"Hey, Twilight. I'm just here to tell ya that I'm gonna be going to a certain University that Princess Celestia told me to go to get more Ally support and I won't be back till nighttime, sorry about that." Silent Wind said.

Twilight simply nodded at Silent Wind and gave him a quick kiss before He flew back up into the air and then concentrated on getting to the University that Princess Celestia told him to go to.

"I wonder what's going to happen once I get out there.."

After several hours of Flying west, he finally got to the University. He saw that it was quite nice as he saw it. Once he saw the University with his eyes, he landed near the entrance but was halted by a young mare who was wearing Horn-Magi University robes. To Silent Wind, He saw her as a senior here in the University.

"Excuse me, but what is your purpose here at the University?" The Mare said.

Silent Wind saw that she was very respectful so he told her his true intentions.

"I'm from the royal city of Canterlot. I've been asked by Princess Celestia herself to ask the University to help us in a large issue that is turning into a War. May I speak with your Head Wizard?"

"If you are sent by the Princess herself, then you may past. But can I see you wrists for a moment of your time?" The Mare said.

"Oh, uh sure." Silent Wind putted out one of his wrists. The Mare then pulled off his leather bracer and saw a slim steel bracer inside which a long, white, exquisite, and special blade. She smirked and brought her head up to Silent Wind's.

"I see you noticed it. Nice magic you used there." Silent Wind took off both of his blades on his wrists and gave it to the Mare.

"Thank you. Oh, please forgive me. My name is Sunfire. Your name is..?" Sunfire questioned.

"Silent Wind."

"Alright then, Silent Wind please follow me." Sunfire said.

As Sunfire was taking Silent Wind to the Head Wizard, he took a look at the environment around him and saw that many leaves were falling. He had forgot it was fall and it usually rains a bit more than other months. He then realized, that it's going to be a rainy war.

"Our Head Wizard is Spirit Arcano, he's was the son of the Soul Arcanis who was the Master and Head Wizard here of Horn-Magi University many years ago. The old man has a very respectful heart and is quite obsessed with unraveling the secrets of the Amerdian Seal which was made by Tarelina Mephalia who made over 200 magic seals."

"And you're telling me this because..?" Silent Wind asked.

"Oh I just thought that you'd know our Head Wizard's name and a little history." Sunfire said.

"Oh, thanks for that." Silent Wind thanked.

Once they both were inside of the Wizard's Quarters, Silent Wind saw an amazing set of books inside that were filled within shelves. He saw that some of them were a bit worn out and some were freshly new. Once they got to the top which had the Head Master's private study room, Sunfire knocked on the door and then the door opened. The door was opened by an elderly man in blue robes with a satchel on his back. Silent Wind then saw that the man was Spirit Arcano, the Head Wizard who look like he was in his 60's. The elderly man looked at Silent Wind.

"Hmm, who is this my dear?" Spirit said.

"This here, is Silent Wind. He comes from the royal City of Canterlot and has been sent here by Princess Celestia. He has come here to talk to you." Sunfire explained.

"It's nice to meet you, Sir." Silent Wind said kindly.

Spirit Arcano simply laughed at Silent Wind's respect for him.

"I see that you are very respectful. Please, come in." Spirit said.

Silent Wind came into his study room, Sunfire said that she had to train with the apprentices with their magic and teach them. She left the two alone. As Silent Wind went into the room, He saw that there a desk that had many scrolls scattered on top of it. There was also large shelves of books and saw a book which said, "Theories of the Amerdian Seal". Sunfire was indeed right when she said he was a bit obsessed with the Amerdian Seal. Silent Wind sat on a stool near his desk and Spirit sat on his rocking chair behind the desk. He then saw that there was also a nice balcony.

"So, you were sent by the Princess to talk to me?" Spirit said.

"Yeah, I'm here to ask you something in need of this time."

"And what might that be, young stallion?" Spirit asked.

"Your help for a terrible war we're going to be in. We need your support, all of Canterlot would be grateful if you'd help us." Silent Wind said.

Spirit Arcano simply had a small frown on his face. He never did like to be involved in those kind of politics.

"I am sorry, but no I cannot." Spirit declined.

"What? Why not?!" Silent Wind yelled.

"My days with violence are over, I have already promised somepony dear to me that I would no longer use my subjects or myself for violence." Spirit explained.

Silent Wind's eye opened wide when he heard that he promised something to somepony. He somehow related that to him and Twilight, seeing that he promised her that he'd stay alive. Silent Wind took a deep breath and then said something to him.

"I know that you promised somepony something. I have a Mare I love too, I know that everypony just want's peace in their life, Wouldn't your Special Mare want you to live in peace in your remaining days? I'm sure she'd want that. I'll do anything to make me and My Marefriend happy. I'm sure your Special Mare would want that." Silent Wind smiled.

Spirit Arcano smiled and looked at Silent Wind with a certain kind of feeling seeing how the Stallion too had somepony he cared for.

"You're right, I wish only to live my days in harmony and complete my days." Spirit said.

"So what is your decision..?" Silent Wind said.

Spirit closed his eyes and thought for a moment, pondering what shall he do now.

"I accept, who are your enemies?" Spirit asked.

"They're the Changelings and a Guild called the Silentblades, both of them are dangerous and are bound to destroy Equestria."

"They both sound like much more fools than me." Spirit grogged.

Silent Wind laughed at the old man's humor. He then went toward the door to leave and go back to Canterlot.

"Possibly, I must be going now. I need to report to her. Will you bring your subjects to Canterlot within three days?" Silent Wind said.

"Yes, you can count on it, young stallion. But can you give a promise to a old man?" Spirit said.

"Oh sure, what is it?" Silent Wind questioned.

"This Mare you love, how important is she to you?" Spirit said.

Silent Wind slight blushed but kept a straight face to tell him how important Twilight was to him.

"Well, she's the most important thing to me right now. Everything important I once had is gone from me now. I'll do anything to make her happy and most of all, protect her." Silent Wind explained.

Spirit Arcano simply smiled at him.

"Promise that you'll protect and care for this Mare. I for one, could not do that.." Spirit began to frown.

"I'm very sorry to hear that." Silent Wind said.

"Thank you, now you should get going now. I must get back to reading my books." Spirit said.

"Okay then, I'll see you nexttime. Sir." Silent Wind then opened the door and ran out of the room.

Once he got out of the Wizard Quarters, Silent Wind flew up and saw that it was Sunset and flew back to Canterlot. When he got back, it was already midnight. He silently went to his room and when he opened the door, He saw that Twilight was sitting on his bed with the light on. Twilight was waiting for him the whole time he was gone.

"Hey, Twilight. Why aren't you in bed?" Silent Wind asked.

Twilight made a small embarrassed face.

"I.. had a nightmare." Twilight admitted.

Even though Silent Wind knew that Twilight was his Marefriend, he couldn't help but smile and laugh.

"I'm sorry.. that's just so.. childish!" Silent Wind laughed more.

"You don't get it, Silent Wind! It was a much more of a fear I've had for a few days." Twilight said.

And with that, Silent Wind stopped laughing and had a worried look on his face. He was very concered and curious about what Twilight's Nightmare.

"Tell me what you saw. Please?" Silent Wind asked.

"Oh, okay then.." Twilight began.

"I saw a vision of you fighting with what seemed like your father. And it seems that in the end, you died.." Twilight said.

Silent Wind couldn't say anything to that, he just looked down. He knew deep down that he was unable to beat his own father. He then looked at Twilight.

"Do-Do you think that could happen..!?" Silent Wind exclaimed.

Twilight shakingly nodded. Fearing it.

"I'm really worried about what could happen to you. You don't have to fight in this war, Silent Wind." Twilight said.

Silent Wind frowned.

"I have to. This is my mess, it doesn't matter if I die or not." Silent Wind said.

Twilight had a shock of surprise and had a small look of anger at Silent Wind. Silent Wind saw that Twilight was getting upset.

"So you don't care if you throw your life away?!" Twilight yelled.

Silent Wind took a deep breath.

"I couldn't save my brother, I don't care about me. As long as you live, I'll be happy in the end, even after I die." Silent Wind said.

Twilight eyes went wide when she heard those words from Silent Wind's own mouth.

"Till then, I'll keep a smile on my face just for you!" Silent Wind putted a smile on his face.

Twilight tackled Silent Wind with a hug. Silent Wind smiled and closed his eyes for a moment.

"Thank you, for everything.." Twilight began to frown and tear up.

Silent Wind pushed Twilight away from him. And kissed her. She kissed back with full force and soon after, they both broke it.

"I should thank you for bringing me in from the start. Anyways, I have to go to sleep." Silent Wind took off his cloak and putted on the door knob. He layed his head down but his shoulder was tapped by Twilight.

"What is it, Twilight?" Silent Wind questioned.

"I'm still a bit shaken, I wondering If I could sleep with you tonight.." Twilight asked.

Silent Wind nodded and took off the blanket. Twilight layed on the bed and then Silent Wind layed on the bed and then finally putted the blanket on both of them. Twilight snuggled up to Silent Wind and so did he. After several minutes, She fell asleep. Silent Wind thought of what would happen to him and her.

"I might die.. yeah, that'd be bucking unfortunate. I just have make sure Twilight lives unhurt." He then got a bit comfortable with Twilight and went to sleep.

At the Silentblade Castle, Ghost Spectre, Poison Cloud, Deadly Rose, Sharp Thorn, Wing Beat and Void Silentblade were planning their battle plans with Celestia's forces.

"We should make our Unicorns go to the left and right flank so they can ambush Celestia's forces.." Ghost Spectre said.

"I will use my Grenade propeller arm to attack them with gas..." Poison Cloud said.

"Me and Magicius will stay behind in the Kingdom to bring more further orders." Deadly Rose said.

"Sounds good to me." Sharp Thorn said.

"We should bring more plans than this-" Wing Beat was Interupted by a Silentblade Assassin coming in reporting to Void Silentblade.

"Sir, there is an unknown figure at the entrance! We do not know how he found this place!" The Whelp said.

"What? Who is this thing you speak of and what does he look like?" Void questioned.

"He looks like an pony. But with horns.." He said.

Back at the entrance, Magicius encountered the Unknown figure they saw. He began to spark his magic up in case if the figure was some kind of spy.

"Who.. are you, you abomination?" Magicius said.

The figure simply chuckled. And moved foward and all of the Silentblade Assassins drew their weapons. But the figure did not stop. And then the figure stepped out of the darkness that was covering his whole body and revealed himself.

"My name is Discord, I wish to speak with the one who pulls the tweeny, wittle strings here. And please, I am a Draconequus.."

Magicius raised an eyebrow of why Discord wanted to speak with Void Silentblade.

Finding Allies - Part Two

Chapter Three: Finding Allies - Part Two

Magicius simply told all the Assassin's by him to lower their weapons. And he looked to his right and saw that Void Silentblade was by him.

"Who.. are you?" Void said.

Discord simple smiled at him.

"I am the Spirit of Disharmony, Discord. I wish to join in a little fun thing you and your... friends are doing.." Discord said.

Void looked at him with a feeling of Discomfort and confusion. He had no good feeling for the Draconequus and wanted him to leave. But he decided to find more about this Draconequus.

"This war, you mean..?" Void asked.

"Yes, this war are you dumb? I see that you lack numbers. I wonder if I can help just for a teeny while." Discord explained.

"And how can you do that?" Void asked.

Discord chuckled and looked at him with his yellow-red eyes.

"Shall I come in?" Discord said.

Void looked at him and closed his eyes. He did not feel too trustful with the strange looking beast, but he came to a decision once he opened his eyes.

"Hmph, fine. You first." Void said.

Discord smiled and began to walk at the gate. The gates simply opened as he went near them and began go inside. Void went near to Magicius and whispered in his ear.

"Inform the others to keep a watch on the buffoon, we cannot trust him yet." Void whispered.

"Yes, brother." Magicius said and then ordered the other Assassins to go back inside.

Then they both went inside so that they could discuss with what Discord want to talk about the upcoming war they were holding.

Once Discord got inside, he saw that it was very bright inside and saw that there were many halls and a big circle main hall. He wondered where to go first, he then saw that both Magicius Arch-cloak and Void Silentblade were going to the middle hall. He decided to follow them. After going into many hallrooms, he saw that he was in the throne room. It was quite dark and saw six short pillars. He then saw a large throne.

Void sat on his throne and the other six were still on each of their pillars. And they all focused their vision on Discord. Discord still smiled and did not take the situation seriously.

"Now, tell why you are here and give us details." Void said.

Discord conjured a chair and sat on it. And arched his back a little and sat still.

"I only wish to aid you in this War, only because I resent Canterlot. I have quite a bad history if you look it up." Discord chuckled.

"Enough talking, quickly tell us what will you do to help!" Magicius said.

"Alright fine.. but can I explain?" Discord asked.

"That's it, we don't need this guy!" Poison Cloud pointed his launcher and shot a explosive at Discord but it never did hit him.

"Ah, your weapons are so futile." Discord was unscathed and then, the group saw a bearded Unicorn with a pointy hat and cape of blue and stars over it, which looked tattered.

"Where the hay did that stallion come from?!" Poison Cloud yelled.

"Oh you don't know this one? I recently Resurrected him. The one and only, Star Swirl the Bearded. He's the father of the Animorphic Spell. Quite old these days now." Discord laughed.

"Hmm. Ressurecting huh?" Deadly Rose said.

"How cruel and against nature itself." Magicius said.

"Poison, you shouldn't do that again or else.." Void said.

"Hmph, fine." Poison Cloud lowered his weapon.

"Now, like I said... I wanted to show you.. my powers." Discord said.

"Fine, go on." Void said.

"Alright then..." Discord chuckled.

"I want you all to look to your window to your right." Discord said.

Everypony except Discord looked to the opened window. And were shocked at what they saw, they all saw 100's of Silentblade Assassins. The only thing was.. that they were all Resurrected and they were sure they also saw some Royal Guards also.

"What is this?! You scum! you're defiling the bodies of our ancestors!" Wing Beat said.

Discord began to get frustrated.

"I think I know that, but did you know that Celestia's forces are getting more Allies the more we speak? I think I will help. I know that you don't have the numbers to beat them. And don't you all worry, I will put your "ancestors" bodies back."

Void looked down and thought for a moment to make this Draconequus his ally or to just either kill him where he stands now.

"What if we refuse?" Void questioned.

"Then I will join this war and fight both you and Celestia. And trust me, I will destroy you so badly, that you will be begging to fight Celestia." Discord angrily said.

All of the Advisors silightly shook at the angry tone of Discord.

"Now can I explain to your big skulls now?!" Discord was getting all frustrated.

Then they all looked at him.

"Go on, we do not have all day." Void shouted.

Discord merely smirked at him and then clapped his hands. Then they saw at least four figures behind him. They all were speechless when the four figures were revealed.

"Th-Thats!" Poison Cloud said.

"It's unbelieveable..!" Magicius said.

Void simply had a face of suprise and shock.

There stood in front of him was his elder son, Silent Whisper which whom was Silent Wind's older Deceased brother, His wife and Silent Wind's mother, Umbra Silentblade. The third one was a renowned Magician also. It was Tarelina Mephalia, the maker of 200 magic seals. And the last one was the one that shocked them the most. It was the first leader of the Silentblades, Shadow Moon Silentblade. All of their bodies were all brand new, except for their clothes which were of course, tattered.

"You.. have quite a nerve to ressurect them!" Poison Cloud said.

"Hm, how disrespectful." Ghost Spectre said.

"This is against our very own nature, you Draconequus!" Deadly Rose said.

"Oh gag, you can save you scowling for now. I need an answer now please." Discord asked.

Void simply thought and closed his eyes. He did not like seeing his deceased wife nor did he liked seeing his deceased son also. He took a quick sigh and opened his eyes and stood up.

"Fine you can join us, but you better keep you nose clean. Do anything funny, I'll make sure I paint your blood in all of Equestria." Void said.

Discord simply laughed.

"Alright then... but I will say something." Discord said.

"And what is that?" Sharp Thorn said.

"Chrysalis, the Changeling queen was wiped out by the Royal Guards and their leader, Shining Armor whom is the Captain of the Royal Guard," Discord said.

"What?! Impossible!" Magicius said.

"That's quite a suprise." Ghost Spectre said.

"Yes, I think I went there to say hello, but it seems that poor old Chrysalis fell to her death. Oh well, She probably was going betray you. You all should know how stupid Changelings are with their power-hungry minds." Discord said.

"Hmph, even though Me and Chrysalis had ties, She never did listen to my plans. Fine, we will join forces to defeat Celestia. But after that, I assure you that you and I will kill eachother." Void said with vigor.

Discord simply chuckled at Void for his foolish personality.

"Sounds good to me. When shall I come?" Discord asked.

"Within one more day, It is already Midnight so you'd best go back to where you came. One more small thing, Discord." Void said.

"Ugh, what now?" Discord grumbled.

"There is a certain Silver-coated stallion, Silent Wind. He is to be captured and not killed. For he is the reason for this war. I assure you that he is important."

Discord walked to the archway which led to the Hallway.

"Fine, just let me do what I can. I will be at the Changeling Castle. Which is now mines." Discord soon after left and the Resurrected four followed.

"Everything is going to plan, Heh.. Once I wipe out Celestia, I will kill the Silentblades. As long as I have these minions by me, nothing can stop me!"

It was near morning at Canterlot, Silent Wind was awaken by Twilight's snoring. And nudged her a few times to wake her up. Twilight soon opened her eyes slowly and Silent Wind saw that she was still tired. She yawned which sounded cute to Silent Wind. He simply smiled.

"Morning, Twilight." Silent Wind yawned.

"Oh, hey Silent Wind." Twilight snuggled up to Silent Wind.

"Are you cold or something?" Silent Wind asked.

"No, your just so huggable." Twilight blushed.

"Oh.. Thank-" Silent Wind was interrupted when Princess Celestia opened the door to his room.

"Buck." Silent Wind thought.

"Good morning, Silent Win-" Princess Celestia gasped at what she saw.

"Oh dear! I am so sorry, I did not know Twilight was in your bed!" Princess Celestia closed her eyes with hooves.

Both Twilight and Silent Wind looked at eachother and saw that their hair were messy and looked at Celestia. Then they realized that Princess was thinking the wrong way.

"Oh! Princess Celestia, it's not what you think!" Twilight exclaimed.

All the sudden Twilight's friends came in and saw the scene and so did Spike. Rainbow Dash was the first to laugh at the scene.

"Oh boy! this is too rich! Princess Celestia thought you two were doing it!" Rainbow Dash laughed more.

"Oh no way!" Spike laughed along with Rainbow Dash.

"Oh my goodness.. Twilight." Fluttershy shivered.

"Well, I'll be! ya'll already sleepin' t'gether!?" Applejack said.

"Why, this is quite a morning to start." Rarity said.

"Hey, Silent Wind and Twilight are sleeping together!" Pinkie Pie hopped.

Silent Wind simply saw that Twilight was losing it, Her face was getting red. He knew that he had to say something otherwise Twilight would break.

"Hey, I gotta dress! can you Mares give me and Twilight some Privacy!" Silent Wind pushed everypony out of his room.

After he pushed everyone out he looked at Twilight. Seeing that she took a deep breath.

"Thank you, Silent Wind." Twilight thanked.

"No problem, I was beginning to get embarrassed." Silent Wind grabbed his Cloak with his mouth and threw in the air and landed perfectly on his neck.

"What are you going to do now? It's the final day before.. you know." Twilight said.

"I don't know, I'll go talk to Princess for some work she'll assign for me." Silent Wind said.

"Oh alright then." Twilight went toward the desk and putted Silent Wind's Amulet on her neck.

"I'll see you soon?" Silent Wind said.

Twilight nodded and went to Silent Wind to lay a kiss. And she said goodbye and Silent Wind ran out of the room and went to the throne room where Princess Celestia would be. Once he got into the Throne room, he saw that Princess Celestia was looking at him with a strange look. Silent Wind simply smiled at her.

"My dear student is quite fond of you." Princess Celestia said.

"You bet. I guess she just really likes me, I like her back also. Anyways, I wonder what you wanted to assign me to today because, well since the War is coming tommorow."

"Actually, there is nothing left to do. We are only double checking our supplies and everything. You have finished your part yesterday. And behalf of Canterlot, We thank you and it seems that you are free today so you may go to Twilight." Princess Celestia said.

"Thanks!" Silent Wind ran back but halted.

"Oh, Princess Celestia. What you saw back there wasn't what you think. Me and Twilight weren't having-" Silent Wind was silenced by Celestia's glare at him.

"Oh.. hahahaha... nevermind!" Silent Wind ran out of the Throne room.

Princess Celestia began to softly chuckle and smiled.

"I have quite a wonderful feeling for Twilight Sparkle and that Stallion."

Silent Wind went back to Twilight and saw that she was about to go with her Friends and Spike also. They all had straight faces as if something was wrong.

"Hey Twilight, Princess Celestia doesen't have anything for me today! I was wondering if I could come with You and your friends." Silent Wind asked.

"Okay then, Shining Armor told Me and my Friends to come to his Captain quarters to talk to him and help him plan a few things. I'd love it if you came with us." Twilight said.

"Shining Armor wants to talk to us..? Alright then, I'll come along." Silent Wind followed Twilight and Her Friends to the Shining Armor's quarters.

A Discussion with Shining Armor

Chapter Four: A Discussion with Shining Armor

Once everypony got to Shining Armor's quarters, they saw that there were two Royal guards in the front. They all began to feel uncomfortable. Rainbow Dash went forward only to get blocked by two wings that were blocking the door. Silent Wind started to get annoyed. Twilight saw that Silent Wind was getting impatient. Then, Shining Armor opened his door.

"Oh, Twily. You brought your friends too, it's all right stallions, they're with me." Shining Armor explained.

The Guards lowered their Wings and The group all relaxed and all of them went in. When they got in, they saw many posters which were bounties and a large table which had many pins on it. Fluttershy was slightly afraid at what she was looking at. Silent Wind on the other hand, he was quite amazed how Shining Armor was dedicated to his job. Shining Armor halted his movement near the Table and the Mane six including Silent Wind, surrounding the Table.

"So, you wanted to see us, Shining Armor?" Twilight said.

Shining Armor nodded and looking at the table. Silent Wind felt a small sense of unbalance, seeing that Shining Armor had a small frown which reflected to Silent Wind as a face of Concern.

"Yes, I have some good and bad news to explain to you and your Friends." Shining Armor said.

Twilight made a somewhat-sad face and go slightly closer to the Table. All the sudden, everyone felt a atmosphere of uneasiness. Spike felt very worried that point and so did everypony.

"Chrysalis has been slain by my stallions and Me." Shining Armor said.

Everypony gasped at that point. And then, Silent Wind smirked.

"That's good right? Just the Silentblades to take out now." Silent Wind said.

"That's the good news, now there's the bad news."

Silent Wind then changed his face from smirk to concern. Shining Armor feared of how the others would react, especially Silent Wind.

"Discord has allied with The Silentblades."

"What?!" Twilight yelled.

"Now, why in tarnation would Discord join 'em? it ain't like that old boot." Applejack said.

"How do you even know?!" Silent Wind said.

"I was given the information by my scouts when we went back, we were going to make the castle a fort. But when we came back, we saw Discord going into it. It's possible that Discord is allying with the Silentblades, but you're right it isn't like him to do this." Shining Armor said.

Silent Wind then had a large theory which could turn into many questions. But everypony was Extremely confused. So he spoke up.

"Do you think Discord could be using the Silentblades?" Silent Wind said.

Shining Armor sighed and closed his eyes for a minute, Everypony was now asking eachother questions. Silent Wind saw that this was very bad seeing that they could not concentrate on their plans. Soon after, Shining Armor then said something to Everypony.

"It is possible. He is probably planning to destroy us first and then wipe out the Silentblades in their weakened state." Shining Armor said.

Silent Wind looked out the Window and thought for moment. He then went back to table which had a large map of Equestria. He examined it for a moment and saw a strategy. His eyes went wide and he smiled.

"Hey, Shining Armor. Did you notice this Mountain range that holds Canterlot?" Silent Wind asked.

Shining Armor came over to Silent Wind's shoulder and saw Two mountain ranges between a big field which was the Everfree Forest. He did notice that the Mountain ranges led to the south. All the way to the south.

"Yes I do, why?" Shining Armor said.

Silent Wind smirked and then pointed his hooves at both of Mountain ranges.

"As you can see, these lead to the castles which I am implying, These Mountain ranges can take us to the Enemy Castles which I am meaning both the Silentblade Castle and Discord's castle. The Silentblades Castle is already linked to the left Mountain range southwest of here which has to be taken with a secret passage. But with Unicorn magic, we should get there easily." Silent Wind said.

"I see what you mean, you want us to pull away our forces from the battlefield and take them Mountain ranges to defeat the enemy faster?" Shining Armor questioned.

"No, If we take all of our forces, it's possible that there may be an ambush. If there is, we all die."

The word "die" shook everypony, even Rainbow Dash. None of them wanted to die but all of them were willing to take the risk for all of Equestria.

"I see. So you only want a certain amount of Ponies to go into the mountainsides?" Shining Armor asked.

Silent Wind simply nodded, seeing that he was practically in charge in this planning.

"Well this is a so confusing, even for a cool Pony like me." Rainbow Dash joked.

"We have to do this, we might even end this in a day." Twilight said.

"Ugh... fine." Rainbow Dash gagged.

"So here is what we do, I know that Discord can be defeated using the elements of Harmony. So here is what I'm going to draw."

Silent Wind found a pencil and took it with his mouth and began to draw on a piece of paper. Even though his drawing was very complicated, they all soon figured it out. He drew a diagram of who would go to the kingdoms.

"Now here is what we do. The ones who will go to Discord's place is Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. It's best be have the Elements also so we can get rid of Discord quickly." Silent Wind planned.

"And finally, Shining Armor, my friend Golden shot will come with you. And if Cadance can come along, bring her too to the Silentblades Kingdom. You three have a decent Chance against the six Elite advisors and you can wait for us to come and support you, Once we come, we all deal a fatal blow to the Leader, my dad."

Shining Armor began to put the pieces together and nodded. He liked this plan seeing that they could have a possibility of ending this in one day. He simply smiled at Silent Wind, giving him a notice that this plan could work.

"It's seems good to me. We should all depart within the morning. I never knew you were the strategist." Shining Armor compliment.

Silent Wind simply laughed.

"Well, a Assassin has to plan also for his Assassination plan too.." Silent Wind said.

"I see." Shining Armor whispered.

Once they were finished planning, then all went back to the Castle, but Silent Wind was still thinking of something he wanted to practice.

"I'm gonna go buy me something to eat, I'll go on ahead." Twilight jogged away from the group.

Once Twilight was out of sight, Silent Wind told the others that he had to go to the forest for today and he'd come back tonight. They all nodded and followed Twilight. They eventually found Twilight and Twilight noticed that Silent Wind wasn't with them.

"Hey, where's Silent Wind?" Twilight asked.

"He indeed did say something about going to the Everfree Forest.." Rarity said.

"It's a bit silly for him to go there!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"Yer' right on that." Applejack said.

"Does it matter? A stallion like that can take care of his own flank." Rainbow Dash said.

Flutttershy nodded. Twilight was confused why Silent Wind wanted to go to the Everfree Forest, seeing that it's near war time. Twilight then left the table, leaving her friends wondering where she was going. Twilight decided to go to the Everfree Forest. She teleported there seeing how Silent Wind got there quickly with his wings. Once Twilight was in the Forest, She heard a large crash in the distance behind her, It sounded like a tree falling. She quicky got to there and saw a huge scene of Destruction.

"What's happened here?!" She thought.

What she saw was a large scene of destroyed and cut-up Trees and most of all, she saw Silent Wind sprawled over the ground, exhausted. Twilight had a face of Horror and ran over to Silent Wind to check him.

"Silent Wind! Are you okay?! what are you doing here?" Twilight was questioning him so many questions that Silent Wind was getting dizzy. He soon answered Twilight.

"I.. was.. practicing something..." Silent Wind gasped.

Twilight was starting to get worried.

"Here, let me help." Twilight picked up Silent Wind and putted Silent Wind in a sitting position to rest.

Then, Twilight began to look around and saw the amazing destruction around her, Knocked down trees, cutted grass and cutted up trees too. Silent Wind was still panting, still exhausted from the intense training he had only been doing for at least 20 minutes. Twilight then looked up to Silent Wind's Azure blue eyes.

"What were you doing here?" Twilight asked.

"I.. was training." Silent Wind said.

"Well then, You're pushing too hard." Twilight wondered.

Silent Wind stood up and began to walk at the trees he had destroyed. He then looked up to the sunset light which was brightening his face.

"I was kind of.. preparing for the war.." Silent Wind said.

Twilight then kissed Silent Wind. They both looked at each others eyes, they soon after broke the kiss. Both of them were slightly embarrassed but shook it off.

"Well be more careful, okay?" Twilight blushed.

Silent Wind had a smile on his face, seeing how Twilight was blushing. He simply nodded and then, everything was really quiet. Too quiet. Twilight then spoke up and told Silent Wind something.

"Silent Wind, does it hurt to kill somepony you once had as a friend?" Twilight muttered.

Silent Wind flinched slightly at that question and softly sighed. He then turned his head toward Twilight with a small frown on his face. Twilight had a small frown also.

"...I-I think if you can live with the burden of killing those who were your allies once, then it is right. It may hurt to kill those near you, but you must carry that burden. Just like me and my Dad. I'll kill him and I intend to put the burden on myself. " Silent Wind said.

"That's.. just horrid!" Twilight yelled.

Silent Wind chuckled at Twilight and showed her that she was right. It was horrible for him to carry such a thing, but Silent Wind didn't care. He just wanted things calm.

"I know.. I'll admit that I resent myself for doing this. But I have to do this. To protect all of Equestria, Protect Canterlot and most of all, You."

Twilight's purple eyes lit up and Silent Wind kept a smile on his face, seeing that he didn't want Twilight to worry, it would be useless to worry in a time like this.

"I.. understand." Twilight stuttered.

Twilight was a bit sad, seeing how this was tearing Silent Wind in the inside, but he didn't show it. He wanted to show he was strong. He would make sure he wouldn't show tears, for him it only showed weakness. Soon, he went back with Twilight. It was nighttime once they got back. He was a bit disappointed they got back a bit late. They both went into the castle and into their guest rooms. Twilight was about to go to sleep, until she heard a knock on her door. She went to her door and opened it, causing it to emit a small squeak. It was Silent Wind, She then thought he was a bit upset when she said those things back there, but Silent Wind just went in.

"Oh hi, what's up Silent Wind?" Twilight said cheerfully.

Silent Wind began to redden and putted his hoof on his chin while sitting on Twilight's bed. Twilight saw the red on his face and spoke up.

"Are you sick?" Twilight asked.

Silent Wind shook his head. He then spoke up.

"I was wondering If I could sleep with you." He simply said.

Twilight was very surprised, she was the one who usually said that. But she smiled and nodded. But then told Silent Wind a question.

"Why?" Twilight asked.

Silent Wind smiled and then looked at her.

"Because, I feel comfortable with you." Silent Wind admitted, he was very embarrassed saying that. Seeing he was never the soft type. Twilight simply closed her eyes and smiled, she went closer to Silent Wind. He was getting a bit warmer. Twilight hugged him and Silent Wind hugged back. He felt very calm that moment and then Twilight broke the hug.

"I... feel comfortable with you too." Twilight muttered.

Silent Wind simply jumped into bed. He got a bit comfortable and then Twilight also went into the bed also and got close to Silent Wind. After getting comfortable with each other, they finally went to sleep. Both of them wondering what would happen tommorow.

At the Silentblade Castle, The six Elite Advisors were planning which would go into the back lines and order their forces around and which would stay here.

"Alright then, who will go out?" Sharp Thorn said.

"I will stay here, I am not the moving type after all..." Deadly Rose said.

"It is obvious that the Ringleaders must stay here, they can't be entirely trusted." Magicius said.

Wing Beat nodded. They all looked at the lunar moon and saw that it was a sign of ralllying. They all laughed at it.

"Anyways... I will go out. I move the most." Wing Beat said.

"I will too, I can shoot shells over the fields.." Poison Cloud said.

"I'll go also." Sharp Thorn blurted out.

"Then it's settled. I, Deadly Rose and Ghost Spectre will stay here to look over the Lord." Magicius said.

"I'll send my scouts to the mountainsides to scout for us.. particularly the right one. Lily Blade is a good eye so she will go with my scouts also." Ghost Spectre said.

"So be it, do whatever you wish you three, just make sure they all die." Deadly Rose tweaked her large violin.

"Fine, Fine. Wing Beat, Poison Cloud. Let's check our things." Sharp Thorn left the room and Poison Cloud and Wing Beat followed.

The last three. Magicius, Deadly Rose and Ghost Spectre were not fond of the other three. Seeing that there will be casualties. They all wondered if any of them would make it.

"I have a feeling one of them isn't going to make it." Deadly Rose said.

"Unless, they become complete idiots. Then yes." Magicius said with a chuckle.

The First Day of War

Chapter Five: The First Day of War

As the sun rose, the Mane six and Silent Wind rose from their beds and went into the Canterlot Throne Room. They saw that Princess Celestia was waiting for them and she walked toward them to talk to them. Silent Wind saw that Shining Armor and Princess Cadance were by her and He also saw that Golden Shot was sitting on one of the statues, ready and prepared. The Mane six lined up vertically and so did Silent Wind.

"Shining Armor has told me about you smart plan, I and the Celestial forces will hold off the main opposing forces while you take out their commanders. Holding them is all we can do." Princess Celestia said.

Twilight and the rest of the Mane Six ran to one of the balconies in the throne room and saw the large army in front of them. A large army full of thousands of mixed soldiers. Spirit Arcano's Mages from the Horn-Magi University and Sunfire was also among those ranks, Golden Shot's Rebel Soldiers from the south and of Course, Shining Armor's royal guards of Canterlot. That's when they all realized: They were all ready to lay down their lives for them.

"Whoa!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Now, this is just Marvelous!" Rarity said.

"Oh wow! so much!!" Pinkie Pie yelled.

"Yee-haw! Let's do this!" Applejack hollered.

Twilight was amazed by how many men there were to help them. She grinned at Silent Wind and Silent Wind already felt they had all had a good feeling in this. Then, they all looked back at Princess Celestia seeing that she was wielding the Elements of Harmony. She levitated the Elements to The Mane Six and putted the necklaces on Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity. She then gave the crown to Twilight.

"I hope that you may be able to defeat Discord easily with the Elements of Harmony. Not only the Fate of Equestria is bequeathed to Silent Wind's hooves, Your hooves also." Princess Celestia faced the Mane six.

"Ah think we know that, Princess!" Applejack said.

The rest of the Mane Six nodded. And Princess Celestia nodded. Silent Wind thought of what he could do to help the Mane Six, he simply thought to just help them. Twilight approached the Princess to talk with her.

"Thank you, Princess Celestia, We all promise not to disappoint you!" Twilight promised.

Shining Armor went over to Silent Wind and putted his hoof on his shoulder. Shining Armor smiled at him, showing him a promise.

"I'll make sure we complete our part. Don't worry, just keep Twily safe. Okay?" Shining Armor said.

Silent Wind nodded and looked at Twilight, she was smiling at him seeing how she also was going to try to protect him also. Then he looked back at Shining Armor.

"Don't worry, She won't get touched if she's got a Silentblade with her." Silent Wind joked.

Shining Armor simply laughed at his humor even in this dark time of War.

"Keep that humor and we'll finish this in no time." Shining Armor said.

Princess Cadance went over to Shining Armor. And told him that it was time to go. Shining Armor went over to Golden Shot. And then, Princess Cadance went over to Silent Wind.

"Please keep her safe, not for Shining Armor, but for Me also. She means a lot to both of us." Princess Cadance said.

Silent Wind smiled at Princess Cadance, seeing how Twilight had many connections with Canterlot. Silent Wind simply nodded at Princess Cadance.

"Don't worry, I'll put my life on the line to make sure she come's back safe." Silent Wind said vigorously.

Princess Cadance went back to the other two, Shining Armor and Golden Shot. Silent Wind and The Mane Six were about to go outside to travel to the side of the Right mountain range until they were halted by Princess Celestia.

"Princess Celestia, what is it?" Silent Wind asked.

She walked over to all of them. Giving them cloaks that were pure white. And on the back, had the royal Celestial Mark of Canterlot. They all realized they were supposed to wear them. They all putted the cloaks on, so did Silent Wind. He simply threw away his brown cloak and wore it. He saw that he was given an extra gift, White-dyed leather bracers. He smiled at them.

"You made these for me, didn't you?" Silent Wind asked.

"Well, I did not make them myself. Please thank Rarity for that." Princess Celestia pointed at Rarity.

Silent Wind looked at Rarity, seeing that she did indeed make the bracers for him. He went to Rarity giving her a hoofshake.

"Thanks, Rarity" Silent Wind thanked.

"Why, thank you Darling!" Rarity said.

"Come on! let's get our flanks movin' now!" Rainbow Dash was getting impatient.

Once Silent Wind was done putting his new bracers on, they finally traveled to the side of the Right Mountain Range. They were all tired once they got to the other side even though it wasn't even long to get there. They soon slowly traveled to Discord's Castle.

Void and Discord were standing on top of the Silentblade Castle, over viewing the forces they had combined with the Resurrected forces of Discord and the all of Silentblade Assassins they had on the Everfree Forest fields. Their forces were much bigger than Celestia's forces.

"So, did you even care to count your army?" Void said.

Discord putted his hand to his chin and smiled. He knew that he had many Resurrected minions under his control but for now, he'd work with Void to fool him.

"Yes, I did. It's seems in my numbers in my army alone..."

Void was getting impatient with him stalling with his answer.

"Are in numbers, Two-thousand between Three-thousand..!" Discord hissed.

Void was flinched at the numbers, the number was very large. And also seeing how their forces in front of them were large, he believed it.

"That's quite a number you've got there.. but there must be a certain flaw within this resurrection magic you're using.." Void said.

Discord simply chuckled, showing how there weren't much flaws with certain Draconequus magic. He turned to Void, facing him.

"Well, not really.. the amazing thing is about Draconequus magic, is that it barely has flaws..." Discord chuckled.

Void was getting annoyed by Discord's laughing and his stalling on his questions. He wanted to stab this Draconequus in his gut, but he held it and moved on talking.

"Just tell me the flaws..!" Void said impatiently.

Discord was getting bored talking, but he then explained the flaws.

"Alright.. fine. First, There's the little pony impulse they have, they can still talk but they are still under my control. If they do break it. They'll have their own impulse back. Second, If I die, which I won't.. Everything I have Resurrected will evaporate and the spell will break, causing all the souls I brought back to go back to the afterlife. And Third, just because they're Resurrected, doesn't mean they're unstoppable. Their soul is inside is inside their body so simply, If their body is critically damaged, then their soul will break and then, they'll evaporate and their soul will be sent back to the afterlife and so will his or her body be also." Discord took a while to explain.

Void strangely looked at Discord until he gave him a small smirk and then looked at him with his bloodline eyes.

"I hope you're telling the truth.. or I'll tear you up." Void gave him a sinister smile.

Discord began to laugh. And strangely, so did Void.

"I'm happy to see I'm not the only crazy one here.." Discord admitted to being quite crazy.

"Oh good, now order your minions to go to Canterlot and I will order mines." Void said.

They both went down to go closer to their forces and just one raised hoof of Void's made all the Silentblade Assassins on the battlefield to move. And then Discord snapped his fingers, his whole resurrected army mixed with Dead Silentblade Assassins and a handful of Deceased Royal guards of Canterlot marched on with the Assassins also. Then within the horizon, they saw at least Two-thousand Celestial forces moving forward as well.

"Now if you excuse me, I have to go to my Castle. Tell me the good news when it's over.." Discord snapped his fingers and teleported.

Void took a deep breath seeing how he was relieved to see Discord out of his sight. He began to look over the view and saw that they had more than Celestia's Army.

"Now, time for me to control this.."

Then all the sudden, he hears Ghost Spectre behind him. He slowly turns around and sees Ghost Spectre bowing down, he simply questions him.

"What're you here for, Ghost?" Void said.

Ghost Spectre looked up and looked at him with his metal mask. Void turned around and went back to over looking His and Discord's army.

"Sharp Thorn, Wing Beat and Poison Cloud have been deployed to the fields to be Captains, Sir. I have also deployed my scouts and one of the Ringleaders, Lily Blade to overlook the right Mountain range to spy on Discord. If that is fine with you, Sir." Ghost Spectre explained.

"Fine, do what you please. Make sure you keep an eye on DIscord, We cannot afford to let our guard down on that Fool." Void said seriously.

"Yes, sir." Ghost Spectre jumped on one pillar on the other and went back inside with Deadly Rose, Magicius Arch-Cloak and the rest of the Ringleaders.

"Now, I wonder how this will go like..." Void pondered.

Silent Wind and Rainbow Dash flew up to see if they were going the right castle and saw the Changeling Castle in the distance, they were quite close to it.

"Found it!" Rainbow Dash hollered.

Twilight waved her hand which signed to come back down. Both Silent Wind and Rainbow Dash flew down and walked toward the others.

"Yeah, We're going the right way." Silent Wind said.

"Alrighty, then! Let's get our hooves movin'!" Applejack ran forward and the rest of the group came along.

In the Mountains, there was Lily Blade and at least five scouts with her also. She moved a little bit to the top, but didn't see anything. She then looked to her right and saw Seven Ponies wearing the Cloaks of Canterlot and they were moving. She quickly acted.

"Everypony! get down..!!" She whispered to the other scouts looking at them also.

She looked through the cracks and saw that the group was slowing down and she saw one certain Stallion she knew, Silent Wind. She had many questions through her mind what Silent Wind was doing and looked to her left and saw the Changeling Castle, She knew of the Draconequus that occupied it. And then, She looked at the scouts.

"Should we go back and report to Ghost Spectre?" One of the scouts said.

Lily Blade simply shook her head. And told the Scouts to go back.

"No, You should all go back and report to one of the Captains on the field, Poison Cloud. I'll stay here to find out more." Lily Blade said.

Then, all the scouts flew off and went into the direction where the battle was happening. Stallions dying, Stallions being injured, It was complete pandemonium. Lily Blade skidded down the Mountains and followed the Mane Six and Silent Wind.

"I need to see why Silent Wind is here and talk to him.." She began to move to the Castle.

As they got closer to the Castle, they all saw that the gate was open. As if someone was letting them in but then, it closed shut. They all looked around and wonder who closed the gate.

"The gate closed..! The enemy?!" Silent Wind drew his hidden blades.

"I wonder who closed the gates-" Twilight looked up and then all the sudden, there was nothing but a large air of dust, they couldn't see anything until they saw an elderly man who was wearing blue robes that had stars all over it. No one knew who it was. But Twilight did.

"Th-Thats..!!" Twilight was shocked.

"What is it, sugarcube?" Applejack questioned.

"Hey, who's that?" Pinkie Pie blurted out and she pointed at the figure. It was a man with pitch-black eyes.

"Oh no. Not now..!" Silent Wind said.

Twilight was amazed at who it was. She knew this stallion from history, but she never knew the day she'd see him in person.

"I'm amazed.. That there.. is Star Swirl the Bearded!" Twilight yelled.

"What in Equestria did you say?!" Rarity said.

"Looks like he's been resurrected." Silent Wind said.

Star Swirl looked at the group and gave them a small glare.

"Who.. are you..?" He had a old voice.

Everyone was suprised when he could talk even if he was resurrected.

"Hey, he can talk!" Rainbow Dash said.

Then, another figure appeared. They saw that it was a Mare. A very certain kind of Mare.

The Minds of Deadly Foes

Chapter Six: The Minds of Deadly Foes

As the mare came out from the shadows near the Gate, they saw that it was a Mare wearing maroon robes. They were all a bit confused on who it was. Twilight was the only one who knew who it was, Tarelina Mephalia. The one who made over two-hundred seal spells. And known for being a true Expert of magic. Star Swirl stepped toward them slowly and Silent Wind got in front of Twilight and the group. But Star Swirl didn't move, but then they saw that there was a second Star Swirl by them. And then all the sudden, The second Start Swirl exploded and lightning bursted out. He was shocked but not injured.

The clone was actually a lightning bomb that Star Swirl conjured. Silent Wind charged at Star Swirl but he was propelled back, he didn't even touch Star Swirl. He looked on the ground and saw a large seal which had an arrow pointing back. He then realized that it was made by Tarelina Mephalia who then walked over to Star Swirl, she then brought her head up showing her pitch-black eyes. Then, her horn began to spark and so did Star Swirl's, Twilight and everyone else knew that they were going to cast something.

"Everypony, watch out! something's coming!" Silent Wind grabbed Twilight and Fluttershy grabbed Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash grabbed both Rarity and Applejack.

Then all the sudden, the materialized aura became water which completely flooded the ground and then it disappeared seeing that it was conjured. Tarelina then made a seal on the ground and summoned a lightning-based wolf. And it radiated two lightning bolts and were targeted at Twilight and Silent Wind. Silent Wind flew up and tried to dodge it but then saw that the lightning bolts were following them as if they were living lightning. Twilight used her force field to try and repel the lightning but the lightning was too dense and pushed them down to the ground. Luckily, Twilight's force field broke after the fall.

"Agh..! Twilight, are you okay?!" Silent Wind saw that Twilight was on top of him. She got up showing that she was still conscious.

"I'm fine.. they aren't going to let us through are they..?" Twilight said.

"No, It feels disrespectful to kill somepony famous, but.. they're already dead. Stay put..." Then there was silence and then Silent Wind finished his sentence.

"This'll only take ten minutes." Silent Wind dashed at both of the Wizards. Tarelina went in first and casted a seal behind Silent Wind. She swung her left hoof at him, but missed. He then charged at Star Swirl, who was simply standing there still as a twig. Then he was about to swing his left hidden blade at his neck, until he was propelled back by a force push that was casted by Star Swirl. He quickly saw Tarelina behind him and saw that she was activating the seal and a large blade came out which was in the direction he was being pushed back. He quickly looked to the ground and dived his blades into the earth's ground, which halted him from being impaled. Silent Wind was surprised how they had strategy even if they were undead. Then, they stopped when Silent Wind talked to them.

"I wonder how do two Deadly Foes like you work together?" Silent Wind said.

"It is quite strange, I am not familiar with this sorcery. All I know is that somepony is controlling us. I say, it is quite annoying." Star Swirl said.

"It's been too long since I have fought with such a sharp fighter like you, who are you?" Tarelina Mephalia asked.

Silent Wind gave them a grin and rubbed his shoulders. He really didn't know if the ones who were talking were either the enemy controlling them or it was actually the real magicians talking to him. But he decided to suck it up and tell them anyways.

"My name is Silent Wind, I'm here fighting for Princess Celestia because of this Conflict right now, as you can see." Silent Wind said.

Star Swirl and Tarelina Mephalia both slowly nodded, showing that they had very little control over themselves.

"It's been a while to hear Princess Celestia's name called." Star Swirl said.

"Indeed!" Tarelina Mephalia said.

Silent Wind felt something and flinched and so did Terelina Mephalia flinch also. Silent Wind began to prepare himself. And then, they went back to their silent states. He then saw that they were about to go back to fighting.

"Alright then, let's do this. I wanted to show you two something anyways!" Silent Wind got in a position and the Mane Six who were hiding in the Mountains were confused.

"Wha'd in Tarnation is he doin'?" Applejack said.

"Being a weirdo!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

Everypony had their explanations why he was he positioning, not in a strange way but a Odd way as if he was trying to release something. Then Twilight found an explanation within her mind, She remembered that Silent Wind was in the forests practicing. She wondered if the positions had to do something with the skills he was practicing.

Then, Silent Wind stopped forming into Positions and began to take a few breathes. He saw that there were Fireballs, Lightning bolts and other sorts of hazards coming at him. He then opened his eyes and he moved very quickly, Twilight and her friends had a hard time keeping an eye on him. He never was this quick in normal levels. Twilight saw that Silent Wind was indeed special, she smiled and observed more.

Even though the two Resurrected Magicians were smart, they did not have a keen eye. They struggled to keep up with Silent Wind. Tarelina was hit mostly and her body began to get damaged which meant so did her soul. Anymore fatal hits, her soul would break. Star Swirl swiftly casted a chain lightning that surrounded him and Tarelina but it never did hit Silent Wind. Because, Silent Wind was above them. He quickly kicked Star Swirl on the head and launched Tarelina into the air. He then flew to the top, Tarelina was still in the air. Then, Silent Wind flew behind her and stopped behind her. He then whispered into her ear.

"It's over.." Silent Wind whispered.

All the sudden, there was a sudden whirlwind and Star Swirl simply looked at it. Then, once it was done. The Mane Six saw Tarelina's lifeless body. Silent Wind landed on the ground, exausted. Tarelina got up, all cut up. She then began to glow.

"It seems it is over for me.." Tarelina said.

She then began to evaporate and smiled at Silent Wind for freeing her from the sorcery that was being controlled by Discord.

"I thank you, for putting me back." Tarelina smiled at Silent Wind one more time until she vanished and all the particles were all flowing to the clouds. Silent Wind looked up and smiled. He felt somewhat sad, seeing that he killed somepony. But, he knew he had to.

"I'm happy to bring somepony back to the afterlife, but I feel like I'm turning into a killer again.."

Silent Wind looked back at Star Swirl with his Shade-monster eyes. He then felt a sharp pain at his arm. He grasped his arm with his hoof very hardly and Twilight noticed.

"Girls, Silent Wind needs our help!" Twilight ran down the rocks of the mountain. And the others also came with her also.

Silent Wind then opened his eyes and Star Swirl's Horn sparking with an explosion spell. But before Star Swirl could cast it at Silent Wind, He was pushed down by two conjured blocks. Which glowed blue and purple. Star Swirl began to get back up but was soon after crushed by the cubes that were pushing him to the ground. Twilight and Rarity's horns then stopped glowing. And the Mane Six ran to Silent Wind who looked like he was in pain.

"Hey, Silent Wind! Get up and get your flank off the ground!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Rainbow Dash! He's in pain!" Twilight checked on Silent Wind. His nose was beginning to bleed slightly. His eyes were beginning to change back to normal.

"Ugh.. Ow.." Silent Wind mumbled. He touched his nose with his hoof and saw blood on his hoof. He knew that something was wrong with him, he couldn't put his hoof on it though.

Star Swirl rose up after the large cubes that Rarity and Twilight conjured disappeared. He was glowing also, showing that his body had enough damaged to destroy his soul. He looked at Twilight who was holding Silent Wind in her arms.

"How special, you must be something to Canterlot.." Star Swirl said oldly.

Twilight released Silent Wind and looked at Star Swirl. She smiled slightly at him.

"Of course, I am Princess Celestia's Protege!" Twilight said cheerfully.

Star Swirl's eyes went wide and smiled when he heard Princess Celestia. He looked at Twilight one more time and said something to her.

"Tell her.. I said that you are a worthy protege she picked. Thank you.." Star Swirl then vanished and finally was reunited to the afterlife.

"It was nice to talk you, Star Swirl the Bearded." Twilight then walked back to Silent Wind who was injured slightly.

Silent Wind was hurt, not because of the battle. But because of something else. He then remembered what his father said to him several days ago.

"Everytime the power is used, It seemingly has a deteriorating effect on the user. While using their powers, they'll eat away at your body causing the hosts to feel pain after using the powers and will cause enough damage to the body to kill them or otherwise, the monster inside will overwhelm the host and the body will forever be the monster's body." His voice echoed through his mind.

Twilight hugged Silent Wind, She was very worried about him and his condition. She preferred if Silent Wind would go back but he refused. He wanted to stay there to protect them all.

"I'll be okay, Twilight.. thank you for caring about me.. but I can take care of myself." Silent Wind got up and wiped his nose in the green well outside the gate and washed away the blood. He felt better after that. Once everything was normal, the Mane Six and Silent Wind opened the gates and went inside the castle. Everypony went in but Twilight halted. Silent Wind stopped when he saw Twilight stop.

"Twilight, what's wrong?" Silent Wind asked.

Twilight was tearing up a little and frowned. She was very worried about Silent Wind after seeing those side-affects.

"I'm very worried about you, are you sure you're okay?" Twilight said.

Silent Wind smiled at her to cheer her up. But it didn't work to Twilight.

"I'm okay, don't worry I got you with me!" Silent Wind said.

"Did you even remember what your father said about using that power of yours?! It could kill you!" Twilight yelled.

Silent Wind stopped smiling and nodded. He knew of the dangers of using the power but it really was powerful and tempting to use.

"I know and don't worry, as long as I'm in control.. I'll be alright." Silent Wind said.

"But-" Twilight was silenced when Silent Wind slammed his lips into hers. He then broke it and Twilight's face was slightly red.

"Don't worry. I can take care of myself." Silent Wind patted Twilight on the face as if she was a little filly. Twilight grinned a little and hugged Silent WInd. Then there was Applejack's voice.

"Ya'll both better come in before ah drag ya'll in!" Applejack's voice echoed.

Twilight heard the voice and went inside the caste. Silent Wind looked behind him and then went inside, but then he coughed and covered it with is hoof. He saw that he coughed blood. He then looked at the darkness inside the castle.

"Wonder what's gonna happen to me." Then, Silent Wind went inside the castle.

Lily Blade got out of the rubble that was scattered through the ground and saw that the gates were open. Once she saw that the group was out of sight, she dashed to the gates and got inside. Then the gates closed.

On the Left mountain range, Shining Armor, Princess Cadance and Golden Shot moved on the side of the Mountain range with no interference. They finally got to the Silentblade Kingdom and saw that the gate was closed.

"Bloody yanks, how are we gonna get this bloody gate open..?" Golden Shot said.

"Magic, of course." Princess Cadance made her horn glow and tried to open the gates, forcefully. But it did not budge. She soon gave up.

"There must be a way to-" Shining Armor was interrupted when the gate opened and then in the darkness, he saw three stallions. He saw that they were wearing black-red cloaks. He took them as Silentblades and glowed his horn. Golden Shot clicked her hoofgun she putted on her hoofarm. And Princess Cadance readied her horn and it glowed.

"It seems we got a few bucking uninvited guests, stallions.." Princess Cadance reconized that voice.

The three figures were revealed and one of the Silentblades were Blood Roar and the other two were Lance Pike and Brute.

"But I'm quite nice.. so how about we entertain them..?!"

The three of them prepared as they were about to fight the Silentblade Ringleaders.

Good and Evil

Chapter Seven: Good and Evil

As the Silentblade Ringleaders got seemingly closer to them, they got in their positions but they soon were suprised when Blood Roar stopped a moment. They were all quite suprised when he halted, they all took him as the crazy type who would attack them on sight.

"Before I kill you all, why the buck are you here?" Blood Roar said angrily.

Golden Shot moved forward Blood Roar and the others and Shining Armor and Princess Cadance noticed, they knew she was going to say something. Golden Shot never liked being told unless it was Silent Wind. She wanted to punch that red-coated stallion in his face.

"Y'should be careful with that tongue, mate. I wouldn't want to cut-" Golden Shot was interrupted when Shining Armor put a hoof on her mouth and he shook his head.

"We should first answer them." Shining Armor told Golden Shot.

Golden Shot gave Shining Armor a small "Hmph." and walked back slightly and then Princess Cadance flew to Shining Armor and began to confront the Silentblade Ringleaders. Blood Roar raised an eyebrow and the other two also moved closer to him just in case if Princess Cadance attacked.

"We're just here for your master, and only your master. Move aside." Princess Cadance said.

"I don't think we can do that, We can't let ponies like you to our master." Brute said.

"I'm bloody done with these muppets, move. Now. Or I'll go on ahead." Golden Shot threatened.

And with that, Blood Roar began to howl with laughter, the others also chuckled along with him. Seeing how futile it was to fight with them. Even if they were going against a Rebel Captain, an Alicorn and The Captain of The Royal Guard, they weren't scared.

"You ponies and your threats, so pathetic." Blood Roar took his claws out. Lance Pike began to materialize a steel pike on his left hoofarm and Brute readied his large gauntlets which were already on his hooves.

"I see that we will have to battle.." Shining Armor said.

"It looks like it, mate." Golden Shot said.

"I wish we could come to an understanding, but somepony stubborn like you must not exist here." Princess Cadance's Horn began to glow.

"Look's like we'll have to kill you." Lance Pike said.

"Okay then, you can go first!" Golden Shot pointed her hoofgun at Blood Roar and didn't hesitate to shoot. She shot a scatter shot and all of the projectiles went forward at Blood Roar. But, Lance Pike came in front of Blood Roar and was able to repel it with a simple Force field spell. Blood Roar smirked and glared at Golden Shot. She then saw at the corner of her eye, seeing Brute on her left side about swing his left gauntlet at Golden Shot.

"You're dead." Brute then swung but then instead, he hitted a blue force field. He looked to his right and saw Shining Armor conjuring it. He then left Golden Shot and went after him instead. But he was propelled back when he was pushed by a force push. He saw that it was Princess Cadance who did it. Blood Roar walked toward Brute.

"You go too fast, Brute. Take the war-mare, I'll take the Alicorn. Lance, take the white stallion." Blood Roar drew his claws and flew up and charged at Cadance.

"Cadance!" Shining Armor raised his hoof at Cadance but then he saw a pike at his eyes and he looked to his right. Lance Pike pointed his steel lance that conjured on his arm.

"Don't forget me, that'd be rude." Lance Pike mocked.

Shining Armor glared at him. He wanted to support Cadance but he was stopped by Lance Pike, who was ordered to kill him. He hopped back and then Shining Armor's Horn glowed.

"Even I don't have tolerance for you." Shining Armor then charged at Lance Pike.

Golden Shot saw that she was left with the Brute. He was quite big but that meant he could throw quite a punch. Even though she knew she was quick, she was careful not to get hit, otherwise it'd be fatal.

"You're quite small for a Mare." Brute said.

Golden Shot simple shot a look and him and chuckled at his stupidity.

"You're pretty dumb for a big Stallion." Golden Shot smirked at him and surprisingly, Brute laughed at her humor. But only for a moment.

"You're funny, I like that. But you're getting annoying, time to die." Brute then charged at Golden Shot. Golden Shot pointed her hoofgun at Brute and clicked it and shot at the ground. She then shot a smoke shell and it blew up into the air. Causing confusion in Brute. All the sudden, he soon gets constantly hit in every part of his body, his chest, his face, and his lower waist. He soon gets annoyed and smashes the ground causing a large shake also making the smoke disperse and Golden Shot slightly dazed.

"Yee-oww...!" Golden Shot rubbed her head and soon snaps back into reality but gets hit by Brute and gets propelled back against the mountain boulders near the castle. Once the smoke was gone, she saw that she was battered with small scrapes along her body. She soon looks at Brute seeing that he's charging at her and then he lunges at her. She was quick enough to react to it and dodge it. She was now in the air and saw that Brute was looking at her. She was lucky she survived an a destructive force.

"What a bloody big wanker.. comon you can do this. Silent Wind depends on ya!" She thought and then she looked down and flew down, going toward Brute.

Even though Princess Cadance was a Alicorn, she was extremely tired fighting with Blood Roar. Exhausting her powers and having small cuts over her. Blood Roar was exhausted also even though he was very energetic on his enemies. Princess Cadance looked at Blood Roar and glared at him. Blood Roar was so confused why these ponies wanted to protect Silent Wind badly. He did indeed know Silent Wind had something special in him that his father wanted. But did not understand. He suddenly was off guard and was caught inside a large sphere made by Princess Cadance. There was no way of getting out for him now. He then gritted his teeth at anger. Princess Cadance brought him down to the ground and she too went down also, she then confronted him. Blood Roar then said a few things to her.

"Why.." Blood Roar began. Princess Cadance raised a eyebrow at him, wondering of what could he be saying to her.

"..Why protect somepony that has something evil inside him.. he's killed ponies, betrayed his own.. why not just hand him over..!!?" Blood Roar yelled.

Princess Cadance smiled and closed her eyes, she was getting memories of him and Twilight. Seeing that Silent Wind was happy where he was. She then opened her eyes, about to give Blood Roar an answer.

"Because we cannot give him to you, He is happy where he is, he spreads hope to everypony, he's made somepony happy. And for somepony like that, we will all protect him with our lives. He carries the fate of Equestria afterall, and for that, I will support him!" Princess Cadance exclaimed.

"For he is.." Princess Cadance began.

Blood Roar was silent for a moment since he wanted to hear Cadance's opinion even though it was stupid to him.

"..the one who will surpass all Silentblades and Alicorns alike..!" Princess Cadance smiled even through this dark time of war.

Blood Roar smiled and laughed hysterically. He was so surprised by the speech of Princess Cadance that it was very ridiculous to him. He then stopped laughing but was chuckling and looked at her with Insane eyes.

"You're complete horseshit.. even if I do die here, Silent Wind's destiny is simple, he's going to die no matter what he does. That there is his destiny.." Blood Roar sneered.

"Even you do not know what hope is, Silent Wind holds onto it because he has a reason to live... and he may have a destiny, you say. But, even a Silentblade can defy his own fate." With that Princess Cadance walked back and then her horn began to spark constantly and all the sudden, the sphere that held Blood Roar had blown up. Leaving nothing but a small tattered cloth part of the black-red Silentblade Cloak.

Princess Cadance looked back and sighed. She felt horrid that she had taken somepony's life but it was for the greater good.

"Even though you were denying everything, I am sure you understood what I meant. Even if you are indeed insane.." Princess Cadance thought. She then walked away, going back to the others.

Lance Pike was pushing Shining Armor but so was Shining Armor. After at least thirty minutes, they were sweating with exhaustion. Both of them could not screw up. For it could be the stalemate of this fight. Shining Armor thought of what to do but he was out of ideas. Lance Pike charged at Shining Armor with a pike and thrusted at him with his pike. But, Shining Armor had enough strength to dodge it. He then took one final leap and shot an Aura Sphere at Lance Pike. Lance Pike did not notice it fast enough to dodge it and was hit in the back with left him a large burn on the back.

Shining Armor went near him and looked at him. He saw that he was barely alive, the Aura Sphere that he casted was a very dense one. He would've died on impact if the Aura Sphere that Shining Armor casted was explosive. He then saw that Lance Pike was coughing up blood. All Shining Armor did was look at him.

"Heh... should've learned more damn better from Magicius.. to mess with you..." Lance Pike coughed up some more blood.

"I don't like to see what I have done to you but you are nothing but a criminal so what I have done to you is right." Shining Armor panted, still tired from his battle and was trying to get back his willpower.

Lance Pike smiled and looked at him. He felt that it was strange to protect one person.

"Funny.... fighting just for.. one person.." Lance Pike hacked.

"Even one person can be important to somepony and even all of Equestria. I don't think somepony like you would understand." Shining Armor walked away, not turning back to look at the dying Silentblade.

Lance Pike lowered his head down and looked up into the sky. He thought of his last moments before he would die.

"Not even.. Silent Wind.. can stop the old.. man.." And with that Lance Pike's head sunk down and died.

"I must get back to the others..." Shining Armor then ran back in direction of the castle.

Golden Shot was getting propelled back by Brute's swings and began to see a small trickle of blood dripping down her mouth. She then realized that she'd have to wrap it up immediately. She then looked at her belt and saw a small shell she kept. She took it with her mouth and threw it in the air and inserting it into her hoofgun.

"Let's see what this big boy can do!" She then clicked her gun. Brute noticed.

"It's no damn use! Give the hell up already!" Brute then raised his right hoof and lunged.

Golden Shot aimed at the ground and shot a yellow smoke to the ground. Brute didn't know what it was nor did he care what it was. He went into the smoke and charged his right hoof at Golden Shot.

Bam!

With that sound, Golden Shot propelled out of the smoke and fell onto the ground and Brute also got out of the smoke also and saw he hitted her right in the chest. Causing her to knock out.

"I knew you'd lose, never underestimate a Silent-Ugh!!" He then saw that there was a knife dived within his chest. He also saw Golden Shot, her mouth on the knife's handle. She then took her teeth off the handle.

"Don't underestimate a Mare, mate." Golden Shot said.

Brute was sure she was knocked out. Then he remembered the smoke, he could've sworn there was nothing wrong with the smoke. It was completely odorless.

"How.. did you..-"

"Remember that yellow gas over there? That's right, mate. It's Yellowfang gas, causes illusions on ya. I wasn't on the ground.. y'simply missed there. And you must've seen an illusion. Anyways, at least you know that you died by a Mare named Golden Shot."

Brute began to laugh, once he heard the name he knew who she was. Golden Shot wasn't suprised. Even She had ties with the Silentblades and they weren't good.

"You're... that mare.. who help those brothers huh..?!" Brute questioned.

"You're bloody right, I helped 'em go against their pops the first time. I'll be sure ta kill 'im f'sure this time." Golden Shot said.

"Hahahah.. still angry over your mother's death I see.." Brute said.

Golden Shot's eyes flickered in rage. She didn't like anyone talking about her deceased mother nor about her death caused by a Silentblade Assassination.

"Want to keep talking?" Golden Shot glared.

Brute smiled and began to talk to Golden Shot.

"You may have killed me.. but.. you won't last against Void Silentblade... nor will you last against the advisors.. you'll all go to hell for-" Brute was interrupted when Golden Shot took the knife out of his chest and then dived it into his head, causing him to instantly die.

"Time for you to shut the bloody buck up, wanker." Golden Shot then smiled and walk to the entrance of the Castle and hear hoofsteps and look behind her: It was Shining Armor and then they both looked up and saw Princess Cadance, Princess Cadance flew down and reunited with the others.

"So, It seems we've all won." Princess Cadance said.

Shining Armor smiled and hugged his wife. Glad that she is fine. Princess Cadance hugged back. Golden Shot rolled her eyes, She wasn't the type to like romance.

"Alrighty, lets get goin ya two lovebirds." Golden Shot was soon stopped when she heard a transmition from her radio earset. She tapped it and then a message came out.

"Capt'n, we are losing for now. We have not gained ground, nor have our enemies have also! We all hope that you can all wrap it up soon!" Then the message ended.

"Seems that our boys are holding them as good as they can, we should hurry." Golden Shot ran into the castle.

Princess Cadance and Shining Armor nodded at eachother and went inside the Silentblade Castle also along with Golden Shot. They quickly wanted to end this very soon.

After walking for hours inside the Changeling Castle, they were all getting annoyed and cranky. But, Pinkie Pie was the crankiest of them all.

"When can we stop! WHEN!?!" Pinkie Pie yelled.

Twilight sighed and was afraid that they may get spotted by the enemy. Fluttershy then walked up to Pinkie Pie. She went up to her and then they all saw that they were in a long hall which was also large in width also.

"Um... Pinkie Pie.. we should be.. quiet." Fluttershy quietly said.

"Why be quiet?! I'm so tired!"

"Oh dear.." Rarity said.

"Ah'm so mighty sorry fer this, Silent Wind" Applejack apologized to Silent Wind.

"It's okay, I just hope that we can just get to the throne room." Silent Wind said.

Silent Wind then remembered something that he was going to tell Twilight all the sudden.

"Twilight, do you know a spell named Clairvoyance?" Silent Wind asked.

Twilight's eyes went wide as she did know a spell called that. They all halted and Twilight looked at Silent Wind.

"Actually, I do. Why?" She asked.

Silent Wind looked around for a moment and then locked his sight back onto Twilight again.

"Can you use it and try to see whats happening inside the throne room?" Silent Wind said.

Twilight nodded and then she was about to use her Clairvoyance until Silent Wind saw something move at the corner of his eye and pushed Twilight out. The figure propelled itself at Twilight but did not hit anything. Everypony was confused of what just happened.

"What the hay just happened?!" Rainbow Dash said.

"I.. I don't know!" Silent Wind had Twilight in his arms and Twilight did not know what also hit them. Silent Wind released Twilight and got up. In the smoke, he saw somepony that made him freeze.

He saw that it had a brown smooth mane, a White-coat and also had Pitch-black eyes also. Even though Silent Wind had a Silver-coat, Spiky hair and Azure-blue eyes. The discription had no mistake, It was his brother, Silent Whisper. He was shocked and looked at Twilight.

"Twilight..." He began.

Twilight looked at Silent Wind with an uneasement of concern for him.

"Take your friends and go on ahead. I'll catch up.." Silent Wind said.

Twilight was very surprised at what she heard and got up to yell at him and try to explain.

"What...?! Why!?" Twilight said.

"Just.. go." Silent Wind said.

Twilight was confused at Silent Wind.

"Only I can take this one. None of you can die here. So go and don't worry.. I'll be by your side later. Just get to Discord!" Silent Wind yelled.

Twilight nodded and whistled at her friends. They all rallied and went on ahead. Silent Whisper did nothing to stop them he simply stood there. Then he finally talked.

"It's real nice to see you again, Silent Wind."

Silent Wind saw his left arm, having a special armband on his upper foreleg. And his right arm having a hidden blade also. And he also saw the blade behind his back as Silent Whisper still wore the black robes of the Silentblades. Inside his mind, he knew that fighting his own brother..

..would be difficult than anything else he thought of.

A Heart-Warming Family Battle

Chapter Eight: A Heart-Warming Family Battle

Silent Wind looked at his brother with surprise, seeing him again. His own brother was dead afterall, Silent Whisper slightly moved forward. It looked like he was fighting against a somepony's will. Silent Wind move forward also to confront his own brother. Silent Whisper was struggling not to make battle with his own brother. It would be too cruel for him.

"Are you.. resisting..?" Silent Wind looked at Silent Whispers face which was completely intact but his clothes were somewhat-tattered. Silent Whisper looked up to him with him trying to look at his younger brother's face. He shakingly nodded.

"I can barely move.. somepony is controlling me." Silent Whisper said.

Silent Wind then saw that all of the ponies he encountered had pitch-black eyes. He then thought that somepony is controlling all of them.

"Try to resist!" Silent Wind yelled.

Even though his brother tried his best, he gave up and then soon began to draw his weapons. Silent Wind frowned at fighting his own brother. He then closed his eyes for a moment and thought.

"Silent Wind..." Silent Whisper began.

"You have no choice, please kill me.. afterall.. it's time to... you know.." Silent Whisper ordered.

Silent Wind thought of all of the things he went through with his brother. He never wanted this, but all he wanted was to free his brother. He could not save his own brother, but he could free him at least. With one last sigh, Silent Wind opened his eyes and he then he shedded a tear and then looked at his brother with determination.

"I know... I'll make this quick!" Silent Wind charged at Silent Whisper and drew his blades. Silent Whisper grinned seeing how he still kept those blades near him.

"Glad you're still taking care of those." Silent Whisper then ripped off his arm bandages and showed his left arm. It was completely engraved with ancient markings all over it. He then touch a small seal on his arm and all the sudden, there was a small chain attached to him which also had a sickle on the end of the chain.

Silent Wind then activated his powers which were given by the monster, Shade. He knew Twilight was worried about him using it but he had no choice, this was his brother he was fighting, His own brother was much more superior to him.

Silent Whisper then threw the sickle with his hoof and picked it with his mouth and with all his might, spitted it at Silent Wind. Silent Wind saw it and jumped with his wings and saw that the sickle penetrated the ground. He then looked back at Silent Whisper and loosened his black blade on his right hoof and threw it at him with his mouth. Silent Whisper dodged it but was cut on his cheek when Silent Wind reeled back his thrown blade with a wire he attached his blade with and then tightened it with his mouth on his wrist.

"Impressive, his skills and strategy have improved." Silent Whisper thought.

Silent Wind grinned but then felt a sharp pain on his arm and grasped it. Silent Whisper reeled back his sickle and then flew up to attack Silent Wind. Silent Wind snapped back into reality and barely dodged his attack by lowering his head, but then he was hit by one of Silent Whisper's hoof punch in his face. Silent Wind propelled back to the ground and was in pain. He then stopped using the power of Shade and then charged at Silent Whisper, who was in the air. Silent Whisper saw him also and charged at him with his sickle and then he drew his blade. It looked exactly like the black blade that Silent Wind had.

"Well, it is a part of him! It must've been materialized by the controller." Silent Wind thought.

After thinking for a moment, he flew at him and then they both clashed. Both of them, barely laying a cut nor a hit on each other. They both eventually stopped for a moment and then giving Silent Wind a left hook to the lower chest and also giving Silent Whisper a stab to the shoulder, Silent Wind was punched by Silent Whisper's left hoof which had markings all over it, making him spit blood out. Even though Silent Whisper was undead, he shifted back to recuperate. Silent Wind once again, was on the ground. Both of them, beaten up. Silent Whisper stood up and so did Silent Wind.

"You still are pretty good- Agh!" Silent Wind's head began to hurt and then his eyes automatically turned back into the eyes of Shade. His vision began to turn black.

"He still can't control it.. how painful for him to hold something like that." Silent Whisper thought. He then began to move on against his own and saw that he was about to attack Silent Wind with his right hidden blade. But, Silent Wind stopped him with just one swing of his hoof and he flew into the walls causing him to smash into the walls. Silent Whisper tried to snap back into reality only to question himself.

"Strange, he wasn't that strong-" Silent Whisper's eyes widen as he saw the eyes of the Monster, Shade but it was much more evil now, there were markings beneath the eyes and he saw that, he knew deep down inside that his younger brother was no longer in control. Shade was in control now. Shade looked at Silent Whisper while he was now in possession of Silent Wind's body and sighed.

"And I thought you were better than this, Your brother better be thankful that I lend him this power. But, I intend to stay like this." Shade said satanically.

"That body.. isn't yours." Silent Whisper then stood up.

"Maybe not, but Silent Wind owes me a debt. No one will ever control me, not even your mother could." Shade smiled at him sadistically.

Silent Whisper gave him a small 'hmph' and then he was being controlled again. He charged at Shade with his sickle and aimed for his neck. Shade raised his left hoof to block it and he sucessfully did without damage. Silent Whisper was confused until he saw a small layer of force field formed around his whole body. To him, it did not make any sense, Silent Wind was a pegasus, not a unicorn. Then Shade saw that even his older brother was confused.

"You know, even though this body is a Pegasus, that doesn't mean I can't use my extremely powerful magic now can I?" Shade answered and then opened his mouth and spitted a small blast out of his mouth which was powerful enough to propel Silent Whisper back. Discord saw how he was using while using Silent Whisper then he began to tap into his deep powers of Silent Whisper. Silent Whisper felt something being touched and saw that there was something going on.

"It seems like I have taken enough, It is time for my guardian to come out now." Silent Whisper said.

Shade simply raised a eyebrow seeing that he had never heard of guardians inside the Silentblades other than himself. He began to get curious and stood still. Wanting to see this guardian of his.

Twilight and the other five of the Mane six were able to escape from the battle and then Twilight looked around and then she turned to the others.

"Girls, I'm going to use Clairvoyance, look out for anything of the usual. Okay?" Twilight asked.

"W'got it, sugarcube!" Applejack said.

And with that Twilight's Horn began to sparkle and then her eyes glowed white. In her mind, she was in the Throne room. Discord was simply still with his eyes closed as if he was conjuring something or otherwise, was controlling the Resurrected. And then, Twilight deactivated her Clairvoyance. Rainbow Dash and the others went to her as she rubbed her head softly.

"What'd ya see, Twi?" Rainbow Dash said.

"I saw that Discord is controlling the dead. If we can get there, we can stop him before his does a lot of damage." Twilight explained.

"Um.. can we get going..?" Fluttershy said.

"Oh why, yes. Let us move now." Rarity said.

As Twilight and her friends were about to head out to move closer, Pinkie Pie screamed. They all looked behind Pinkie Pie and that she was pointing at a flying figure.

"It's a creepy old lady!!" Pinkie Pie yelled.

"A-A creepy old lady!? Absurd!" Then the Pegasus flew down, but when she landed, they all gasped seeing that it wasn't a Pegasus, it was a Alicorn with a White-coat, Purple eyes, and a black smooth mane, but she had a small crown and what looked like a Silentblade dress. It was Umbra Silentblade.

"Oh no.. If only Silent Wind were with us!" Twilight readied her horn and the others readied in their attack positions.

"What? You know of my son?! Where is he? I don't even know where I am.." Umbra then charged at Twilight and her friends, not knowing that she was being controlled.

"What is this?!!" Umbra's horn then glowed and it aimed at the ground. The ground began to crack and then it blew up into pieces which caused Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash to fly into the air. Rainbow Dash saw that Pinkie Pie was in the air and flew to her to catch her. She successfully caught her and She flew down to lower Pinkie Pie down. Twilight was shocked, She was meeting Silent Wind's mother and in person.

"You're.. Silent Wind's mother?! How are you dead?!" Twilight asked.

Umbra only looked at her and sighed. She then charged at them once again. Everypony prepared to fight Umbra Silentblade, Mother of Silent Wind.

Silent Whisper zipped his cloak zipper down slightly and showed a small mark on his chest. He then touched it and began to say a name.

"Sheerclaw." Silent Whisper's chest then glowed and then all the sudden, a large white seal appeared on the floor. And then Shade saw a big explosion of smoke. Once the smoke cleared, he saw something gigantic. A giant wolf that had black fur, cherry-red eyes and red and white armor all over it. He then smiled and found out why it was called a ''guardian".

"I see now.. this thing here protects you with it's life. How interesting that it's a mutt." Shade began to taunt at Sheerclaw and Silent Whisper saw that his arm was going up and then pointed at Shade who was of course, possessing Silent Wind's body. And with just a point of his hoof. Sheerclaw ran on his four paws and quickly ran to the back of Shade, It was surprising how fast this "guardian" was. Shade was able to conjure a force shield behind him but when Sheerclaw swung it's claw, It amazingly broke the shield, causing Shade to propel into a wall. But luckily, he was able to cast a force field on him which cushioned the smash against the wall. Shade fell down on his hooves and landed successfully on the ground. He then looked at Silent Whisper with an impressive look.

"I expect nonetheless from a Silentblade Family member. Still, you're being controlled aren't you..?" Shade cracked his shoulders.

"I seems so I guess. Why ask..?" Silent Whisper said.

"Just stay still... this won't hurt a bit." Shade then conjured a small spike bracer that held a needle. Discord saw it and then he began to control Silent Whisper constantly. Sheerclaw began to rend at Shade. Even though he was dodging them constantly and getting nearer toward Silent Whisper, he was having difficulty dodging Sheerclaw's fast attacks. Once he was close enough he attempted to tackle Silent Whisper. Silent Whisper took his sickle in his mouth and flew up to attack him but Shade was able to disarm him by punching him horizontally and his sickle flew in the air.

Shade successfully tackled him and then said something to Silent Whisper before diving the needle into his forehead.

"This won't hurt. But it might." Shade then dived the needle into Silent Whisper's forehead. Sheerclaw who was unfortunately, not fast enough to get to his master's side.

Brothers Reunite

Chapter Nine: Brothers Reunite

Once Shade dived the needle into Silent Whisper's skull, Silent Whisper's eyes went wide and Sheerclaw froze and then it vanished and went back inside Silent Whisper. Once Shade saw that it was long enough, he pulled out the needle that he dived into Silent Whisper's head. Discord's mind broke and he was frustrated how he could no longer control Silent Whisper. Silent Whisper blinked several times before looking down. He then saw that he was freely moving, he couldn't believe it. He thought he was just going to be defeated. He then focused his eyes on Shade and moved toward him.

"How...How did you..!-" Silent Whisper stuttered.

"The needle, was a mind-releaser needle. Very hard to learn. It destroys the mind controller but it doesn't dispel the resurrection spells but you'll only disappear if the one who casted the spell dies. What I do know that the spell that was used to resurrect you would take an expert at spells to use them." Shade explained.

Silent Whisper smiled and sighed in relief, seeing that he was no longer being controlled. Then, he looked at Shade with a serious face. Silent Whisper wanted his own brother to see him, so he talked to Shade if he could go back.

"Shade, I want to see my brother, go back." Silent Whisper said.

"I don't think so, I intend to control this body until-" Shade began to feel cold. Very cold. He then put his hoof to his face. Shaking uncontrollably. He then heard Silent Wind's voice.

"Time's up! Get the buck back in!" Shade then roared and then stopped. Silent Wind soon was back in control of his body. He panted, showing how he was having small difficulty getting in his mind again.

"Nice to see ya again, bro.." Silent Wind still panting.

Silent Whisper smiled and went toward Silent Wind, he did something to Silent Wind that he has not done in most of his years, he patted his brothers head. Smiling, seeing that he was reunited with his brother. Silent Wind grinned, embarrassed slightly, but happy. Then, they both heard a tap as if somepony was walking toward them. Silent Whisper readied his sickle and Silent Wind readied his hidden blades. But to their surprise, It was their old teammate who was always by the two: Lily Blade. Silent Wind's eyes widened but Silent Whisper simply breathed through his nose heavily for a moment. The yellow Unicorn moved closer and frowned.

"Hi, you two.." Lily said.

"L-Lily..?!" Silent Wind was amazed to see his own former teammate again.

"It's Lily again, why are you here?!" Silent Whisper yelled.

Lily brought down her hood which was covering her face and her green eyes glowed. She began to smile but to Silent Wind and Silent Whisper, it was a fragile smile of sadness.

"I was ordred to kill you on sight.. but I can't do that. Both of you are brothers I never had. I could never do that.." Lily admitted.

"You.. want to defect..?" Silent Whisper said.

Lily Blade nodded. Silent Wind smiled and Silent Whisper rubbed his shoulders. Then Lily smiled again, happy to see the two Stallions who she was always by.

"Thank you, both of you." Lily thanked.

Silent Wind and Silent Whisper looked back and then Silent Wind gave Lily Blade a "come along" gesture and Lily Blade hopped along her old teammates.

"I think we can save the happy reunion later, lets move. The others probably haven't gone far." Silent Wind went on ahead and Lily and Silent Whisper nodded at each other and ran with Silent Wind.

Twilight and her friends were beginning to struggle with Umbra. Once they saw that they were not doing any damage to her, Rainbow Dash looked at Twilight and suggested they use the Elements of Harmony.

"Twi, lets use the elements!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Okay then! Everypony get ready to use the elements!" Twilight shouted at everypony.

Twilight's crown began to glow and her eyes began to glow completely white and the others also replied using all of their necklaces and they all levitated, but she her crown was knocked off her head when Umbra shot a energy ray at her head. The crown knocked off where Twilight couldn't reach it and the rest of the Mane six fell on the ground. Twilight accidently hit her head first and was dazed. The other five tried to run to her to help her. Applejack was able to take her rope out from her saddlebag, seeing Umbra moving toward the downed Twilight. She quickly tied her rope up to a lasso.

"Git away from 'er, ya monster!" Applejack threw her lasso at Umbra but unfortunately, It burned up once it got near Umbra. Umbra had an invisible flame cloak around her. She then, pointed one of her hooves at the group all crunched up together. Then they saw a purple cage around them. Rainbow Dash was getting very angry.

"Hey, let us out!" Rainbow Dash shaked the cage but the cage did not budge.

"Sugarcube, wake up now!" Applejack yelled at Twilight.

"Oh dear heavens no, Twilight..!!" Fluttershy said.

"Shes gonna get burned!" Pinkie Pie screamed.

"Why, she's going to be killed!" Rarity shouted.

Umbra's horn began to spark uncontrollably, she teleported and Twilight became confused by where she went. Rainbow Dash looked around and her eyes widened completely.

"Twi, she's behind ya!" Rainbow Dash pointed behind her.

Umbra had already casted her three fireballs at Twilight. Twilight was not quick enough to cast a barrier and her eyes went wide open.

"Oh no!!" Pinkie Pie yelled.

Then all the sudden, Twilight saw two figures behind her. And saw that it was a Mare and a Stallion. She then heard a voice which sounded Familiar to her.

"Lily, now!"

The unknown Mare that Twilight did not know, quickly used a large water spell. Unfortunately it was not enough to douse the flames then the Stallion had a small whirlwind on his hoof that he showed and quickly mixed it with the water. Causing it to make a large water torrent. Twilight was amazed that the Fireballs didn't hit her and the fireballs were doused. Then, the Stallion looked at Twilight. When saw his Azure blue eyes, She knew who it was.

"I'm so sorry, Twilight.. but I'm here." Silent Wind said.

Then a chain flew into the air and grabbed Umbra by the leg and threw her down and was still attached to her leg and then another chain flew also which became attached to her whole body, completely incapitating her. Then the gate that was holding five of the Mane Six dispelled and they ran to Twilight.

"Got her." Silent Whisper said who had the chains attached to his hoofwrists.

"Thank goodness you still know how to use wind as a weapon.." Lily Blade said.

"My name isn't Silent Wind for nothing, you know." Silent Wind joked.

Lily giggled at looked at Twilight. She seemed a bit hurt and Lily looked back at Silent Wind. Who was still looking at his mother, Umbra Silentblade.

"I'll check on your friend." Lily ran over Twilight and Silent Wind simply looked at her and nodded.

"Well.. She's more than a- well nevermind. I gotta focus on.." Silent Wind looked at his mother again with a frown, seeing that even his own mother was resurrected also. He went closer to her. Until he was face to face with his own mother. Seeing her in person. Umbra smiled shakingly.

"It's so wonderful to see my young colt as a Stallion.." Umbra said.

"Mom.." Silent Wind said.

"Silent Wind, you want to say anything to mom first?" Silent Whisper tightened the chains and smashed the chains into the ground with the attached spikes at the end. And then he went near Silent Wind.

Silent Whisper looked at his mother, he couldn't help but feel sad for Silent Wind. He didn't like Silent Wind seeing his mother like this. Silent Wind was able to shed a tear. He looked at his wrist and showed the Silver-white blade at his mother. His mother grinned seeing that he held the weapons his mother made for him before he was born.

"I see you still carry those mementos." Umbra said.

"Mementos? what do you mean..?" Silent Wind said.

"See how it says Umbra, Silent Wind..?" Umbra said.

Silent Wind nodded.

"That is my name." Umbra said.

Silent Wind's eyes went wide open. Silent Whisper closed his eyes simply listening to his mothers words to his younger brother.

"So.. then.. the other blade says Silence. Which means..?" Silent Wind knew what it was after but he wanted to be sure. Umbra nodded.

"After you, so that you could know.. that you have a part of me inside of you." Umbra explained. Silent Wind began to tear up. Up until now, he only thought of the blades as a part of him. But instead, the blades were actually a part of his own mother he never met until now. He frowned and retracted it back into his bracer.

"Mom.. I have Shade inside me, but I know you know that. But I need to know how to control it." Silent Wind admitted.

Umbra smirked. She could not help her son in anyway during his life but if she could give her son any advice to control Shade.

"It's very simple. You have to tap into your mind and fight Shade himself. He's very strong but I know that my own son can beat him. If you can control him, then you will be able to use his hidden powers that you can't use yet. You have to close your eyes and think hard about Shade and you will meet him." Umbra explained.

"Okay then, I understand it. Hey.. Mom." Silent Wind took a deep breath and Silent Whisper looked at him with obviousness. Umbra simply looked at Silent Wind.

"Yes..?" She said.

"I'm so sorry, I have to do this. I can't see you like this anymore." Silent Wind took out his hidden blades.

"Silent Wind.." Twilight whispered.

"He's going to actually do it.." Lily Blade said.

"Do what?" Rainbow Dash said.

Silent Wind began to cry slightly, his brother came over to his shoulder and putted a hoof on his shoulder.

"It's okay, just do it. Mom'll want it this way." Silent Whisper said.

"I understand.. I only wish to go back to the afterlife. No matter what you do to me, I will always love you." His mother said.

Silent Wind charged at his mother with tears in his eyes. Twilight and her friends with their eyes wide, Silent Whisper closing his eyes understanding the situation, Lily Blade looked at Silent Wind with a concerning look. And with a stab to the chest, Umbra began to glow more and more.

"Thank you, you're the most kindest little colt I ever met.. and.." Umbra was about to vanish until she said her last words to her son.

"I will always watch over you.. please remember that.. I love you, no matter what you do." Umbra then vanished leaving nothing left.

"Silent Wind.. I should've done that. Forgive me." Silent Whisper said.

Silent Whisper then saw small drips of water on the floor that were below Silent Wind's face. He stepped over Silent Wind to see that he was uncontrollably crying, something Silent Whisper hasn't see forever.

Silent Whisper went up to his young brother and hugged him, putting his chin atop his head. Trying to make him feel better after being made to kill his own mother again.

"It's alright, Silent Wind. Mom wanted that anyways, It was all we could do." Silent Whisper then began to shed tears while being strong at the same time.

"He's.. crying..I always thought Assassins never cry." Twilight began to tear up. She hated to see Silent Wind suffer something like that.

Lily turned her head toward Twilight. And frowned.

"You have to learn about feelings..." Lily began.

Twilight and her friends all gave a small "huh" at Lily Blade and Lily closed her eyes for a moment, then she opened her eyes again. Looking at Twilight and her friends.

"...Even Assassins can cry when they lose somepony they love. Even if they never met them in person.." Lily finished her question. And Twilight looked at her and then looked at Silent Wind seeing him breaking the hug between his brother. She then ran at Silent Wind.

"Twilight!" All of her friends said in unison.

Twilight didn't care to listen to her friends. All she wanted to comfort Silent Wind, she loved Silent Wind too much and watching him in pain made her feel pain also.

Underestimated Powers

Chapter Eleven: Underestimated Powers

Golden Shot was curious of her opponents abilities, All she had with her was a violin. Deadly Rose began to play music. Golden Shot was getting irritated, seeing a Mare play music with her hooves in a time of War. Golden Shot stomped her hoof and Deadly Rose stopped playing her music. Deadly Rose gave Golden Shot a boring look.

"Yes? I'm playing music, please hush." Deadly Rose then continued her music, Golden Shot at that point, lost it. She clicked her gun and shot a cannon shell at Deadly Rose, Deadly Rose smiled evil-like and began to play music crazily. There was a large smoke cloud around Deadly Rose. And to Golden Shot's surprise, The cannon did not hit her. Golden Shot soon wondered what happened she was sure she hit her dead center.

"How in equestria, did this muppet block it? I saw nothin' in front of her!" Golden Shot thought.

Golden Shot then saw that Deadly Rose was playing music again and more faster, and then she then played a ear-screeching note. At the corner of Golden Shot's eye, she saw something clear and white she dodged only with a cut on her ear. She touched her ear and saw a trickle of blood on her hoof. She then realized: The music was her ability. Deadly Rose chuckled, seeing that Golden Shot finally knew what her ability was.

"Now that I see that your stupidity has finally caught wind of my ability, I can finally play a song of death for you." Deadly Rose then positioned to play her Violin and began to play her Violin crazily. Golden Shot hopped behind one of the pillars and heard the sound of blades and stone coming together, when she stuck her head out, she saw that the pillar she was behind was cutted up with four slashes. She then backed up from the Pillar and shot the bottom of the pillar with a explosive. She saw that the falling Pillar was going to fall on top of Deadly Rose, Deadly Rose simply smirked seeing how futile that was, She then putted her bow in her mouth and rubbed it spontaneously against her violin, causing the pillar to freeze and then all the sudden, the Pillar was cut in half, missing Deadly Rose.

"You are weak, I wonder how you even beated the ringleaders." Deadly Rose spitted out her bow which was held in her mouth and then was playing with her right hoof. She quickly ran her hooves across the strings, Golden Shot then heard a small 'woosh' getting closer, she then felt something hard hit her face, Deadly Rose used her magic to make a fist charge at Golden Shot and it hit Golden Shot dead center in the face, causing her to propel back into one of the pillars. She flew at one of the pillars back-first and saw that the pillar she had hit was falling on top of her, she quickly dodged it and she escaped a fatal situation. Panting, Golden Shot looked at Deadly Rose who was still standing where she was. Golden Shot smiled, wondering what should she do to beat Deadly Rose.

"Alright then.. how am I gonna mess this, mare here?" Golden Shot then reached her head into her vest pouches and took out a small box full of bullets and putted it inside her hoofgun with her mouth. Deadly Rose's eyes flickered, seeing that she would have to fight harder against Golden Shot.

"This mare is getting quite serious.. so will I." Deadly Rose rubbed her hoof against the ground before putting it near the strings again.

During the battle with Deadly Rose and Golden Shot..

Shining Armor stumbled opon one of the Advisors, Ghost Spectre. Since he had never seen him, he did not know what Ghost Spectres specialty was, Shining Armor stood his ground and confronted Ghost Spectre, Ghost Spectre simply looked at him with a glare of umamusement.

"It looks like they failed, how pathetic." Ghost Spectre cursed.

Shining Armor was not surprised by those words, he already knew how criminals like the Silentblades were like, not much caring and respect to their inferior allies. Shining Armor backed up and glowed his horn. Ghost Spectre noticed and released his chains that had one-edged blades at the end with shackles from his hoof wrists from his long-sleeves.

"I cannot let you live, for you are a criminal, I will eliminate you here." Shining Armor growled.

Ghost Spectre closed his eyes and chuckled, Shining Armor soon gave him a stare of confusion, wondering why he was laughing. Ghost Spectre then opened his eyes.

"To be fair.." Ghost Spectre said then, Shining Armor only blinked for a moment and Ghost Spectre was no longer in front of him, then he somehow felt his presence behind him.

"I do the eliminating." Ghost Spectre said before hitting Shining Armor with his hoof.

Shining Armor flipped and flew away from Ghost Spectre, then he hit his back against a wall. Made of Chains. He coughed up some of his blood and wiped his mouth with his left hoof. Shining Armor then saw that Ghost Spectre had rooted his chains into the ground which made the wall of chains, Ghost Spectre quickly took his chains back out of the floor and retracted them until the only thing he saw on his wrists was the blades attached to the chains.

"I see.. that." Shining Armor said while recuperating.

Shining Armor then shot an energy ray at Ghost Spectre at his face with high speed, Ghost Spectre dodged it with a simple scratch on his cheek. Ghost Spectre touched his cheek and saw a tiny drop of blood on his hoof. Ghost Spectre smiled and glared at Shining Armor, giving Shining Armor a small shiver.

"You should be honored, no one has ever hit me before, no one." Ghost Spectre said intently.

Shining Armor gave his horn another glow.

"Really then, let me give you another hit! Criminal scum!" Shining Armor charged at Ghost Spectre with a roar and Ghost Spectre replied his charge with the small dangling chains with each of two chains attached to his wrists with a shackle with a small one-edged blade at the end.

Shining Armor tilted his head all the way back, Ghost Spectre thought that Shining Armor was going to do a headbutt on him but then saw the large form of Shining Armor's aura forming on his horn which was forming into a long blade and Ghost Spectre knew that his aura would be as sharp as a typical sword. So he raised up his left arm in attempt to block his conjured blade on Shining Armor's horn. Shining Armor knew that he would simply cut off Ghost Spectre's left arm. So, he knew he would get him.

Shining Armor then swung at Ghost Spectre's blocking left arm with his horn that had a conjured blade on it. He hitted his left arm with a breaking force, but his arm was still intact nor did Shining Armor did any kind of damage to him. Ghost Spectre smiled and hitted Shining Armor with his arm, it hurted even more than the punch. Once Shining Armor landed on the ground, he rubbed his jaw and then Ghost Spectre began rip off his long sleeves. And with that, Shining Armor saw that his arms were covered in chains, possibly to cause more damage. Ghost Spectre sighed with relief once he finished with ripping off his long sleeves with his teeth.

"It was getting a bit tiresome with the sleeves, anyways I'm done messing around. You're going to die today." Ghost Spectre then hurled his chains at Shining Armor.

Meanwhile..

Princess Cadance and Magicius did not even talk when they both saw each other, It only took a moment for both of them to notice each other and instantly began to attack each other, eventually they both became exhausted from their uses of their magic. Seeing that they were giving it their all at each other. Even though she was an Alicorn, She was struggling with the Magician Silentblade. Magicius tilted his head to the ground and it began to spurt out his aura, all the sudden, there was a seal on the ground and then there was a large cloud of smoke. Princess Cadance putted her right hoof in front of her face to cover her vision from the smoke. Once the smoke was gone, all that she saw was Magicius and the only thing that she no longer saw in front of her, was the seal on the floor. She then heard a large cracking noise below her and the ground shattered to pieces and all the sudden, Princess Cadance saw herself binded by a large snake. The snake hissed at her, giving her a fearful hiss. Magicius moved forward Princess Cadance, Princess Cadance tried very hardly to break from the Snake's body tied around her. Magicius soon halted his advance and looked at Princess Cadance.

"Now, you didn't tell my why you're here.." Magicius said.

"Were.. here for your master!" Princess Cadance grunted.

Magicius was still looked at her with a blank expression, he turned his back at Princess Cadance and rubbed his neck for a moment. Then he looked back at Princess Cadance.

"Even if you were to get to my brother, you'd wouldn't win. And that also goes for Silent Wind also who is my nephew..." Magicius said and coughed with a small trickle of blood on his mouth. Magicius was quite old and had health problems ever since, and Princess Cadance noticed.

"And why is that?!" Princess Cadance asked.

Magicius smiled and chuckled softly, he then shaked his head at Princess Cadance. Princess Cadance wondered why he shook his head at her.

"He's stronger than you think." Magicius bragged.

Princess Cadance's eye flickered at what Magicius said, she did not know what Void Silentblade could do and was slightly afraid of Void for a moment until she thought of Silent Wind, Princess Cadance alone knew that she had the most faith in Silent Wind. She glared and looked at Magicius with a smirk.

"He may be strong, but Silent Wind will prevail because me- no, everyone..." Princess Cadance sighed.

Magicius was silent, silence surrounded around them,

"..have the utmost faith in him!" Princess Cadance said cheerfully.

Magicius shot a glare at her. And walked back slightly before stopping in his advance away from her.

"You are hopeless, you know nothing of us. Now, stay still and listen to me.." Magicius began.

Ghost Spectre charged at Shining Armor and swung a chain at Shining Armor, Shining Armor dodged the chain by lowering his head and once he brought his head back up, he saw that Ghost Spectre was about to swing a fist at him, Shining Armor also saw the hurling punch coming at him and dodged it by jumping out of the way. But then he saw a chain go to his leg and he tripped and then he saw the chain going around his whole body which caused him to be immobilized, he managed to get up, but he could not fight in a position like that, the chain also tangled around the horn also, making him unable to use magic. Ghost Spectre jumped to him while using his left arm to manipulate the chains tangled around Shining Armor. Ghost Spectre smiled at him.

"I see you tangled up, sorry about that let me help." Ghost Spectre joked and made the chains around Shining Armor even tighter. Although Shining Armor was wearing his purple armor, he began to feel pressure around him.

"Damn! I can't get out of these chains.. I can't move..!!" Shining Armor coughed out blood as a chain around his neck tightened.

Ghost Spectre began to chuckled and sighed. Shining Armor looked at him with an anger-filled face whilst still trying to break away from the chains.

"You know, we still have that bounty on you and your woman.. you know what I say about that?" Ghost Spectre said.

Shining Armor raised an eyebrow with multiple grunts of failure and shame. Ghost Spectre raised his other hoof and grinned with a sinister chuckle.

"Mission Accomplished." Ghost Spectre then hurled the other chain on his right arm with high velocity and pointed the tip of the blade attached to the end of the chain at Shining Armor.

A Death of a Mare

Chapter Twelve: A Death of a Mare

Shining Armor had no way of dodging the blade hurling at him, He braced it but made no difference, the blade had penetrated him causing him to widen his eyes in shock, Ghost Spectre smiled and chuckled, seeing that the Captain of the Royal Guard was no more but when the blade hitted Shining Armor just moments, Ghost Spectre saw that his body was turning pink. And then, Shining Armor exploded only it was just a conjured doppelganger. Ghost Spectre let his guard down just a moment, wondering what in the world just happened. He then heard a voice behind him.

"Take this, you cruel stallion!!" It was Shining Armor's voice.

Ghost Spectre looked around him and saw that Shining Armor had already shot two bolts at him. He was not quick enough to dodge and was hit in the shoulder and the neck, even though being severely damaged with high-powered lightning bolts, he was alive but still clinging to life. Shining Armor panted as he used most of his will on the bolts and walked forward Ghost Spectre. Angered but badly damaged, Ghost Spectre grunted in anger and began to cough out blood.

"It seems that your mission has failed." Shining Armor said.

Ghost Spectre began to chuckle. Shining Armor saw him chuckle and looked at him with a confused look. Ghost Spectre gave him a frail but mocking look.

"Maybe.. but.. how about.. your wife..?" Ghost Spectre hacked.

Shining Armor forgot all about Princess Cadance, He wonder where she could've gone but then he remembered that she had went to the middle hall. He was going to teleport but then looked at Ghost Spectre, Shining Armor knew he had to finish him off and right away.

"She will be fine, She can take care of herself." Shining Armor said.

Ghost Spectre slight rose up but that was all he could do. Ghost Spectre knew that he was about to die by a Canterlot Royal Guard and cursed himself for his defeat.

"It shall be too late... your wife shall die... and she will die in vain.." Ghost Spectre said.

And with that, Shining Armor ended the Silentblade Advisor's life with a energy ray that killed Ghost Spectre in an instant which only left a lifeless body. Shining Armor had no time to rest, he knew he had to go save his own wife. For he could not know what was happening to her right now.

Princess Cadance listened to Magicius' words, knowing that there was no way of getting out of the snake's grasp on her. Magicius took a deep sigh and began to talk.

"It is you who are evil, you do not foresee the peace we give to Equestria, and your intervention causes only death and war and that there, only causes despair to others. You think you are the good ponies of Equestria but like I had said, you cannot foresee it. And that is why we need Silent Wind, to grant peace to the world." Magicius said.

Princess Cadance began to get angry, She hated the idea of the Silentblades and from that point on, wanted all of their heads greeted to the Headstallion. She began to grit her teeth and bursted. She began to yell at Magicius, angered of their vision of peace.

"How can you say that what you are doing is peace?!?! You shall never grant that vision nor will you ever obtain the pony you want the most!" Princess Cadance yelled.

"You are stubborn and stubborn ponies shall die." Magicius began to walk away and raised his hoof and then he swinged his hoof down and the Snake began to hiss.

The Snake then looked at her for a moment and dived it's head at Princess Cadance's head. At that point, Princess Cadance knew that it was over for her but then all the sudden, a large circle-wave flew at the snake's head which decapitated it, leaving it dead and then the snake disappeared. Magicius widened his eyes and looked behind him. He saw Shining Armor with Princess Cadance on his back, then he disappeared, seeing that he was greatly weakened and hurt. Magicius smirked in his victory.

"The cowardice of Canterlot, how annoying." He then walked back to the training rooms which was the closest room near him.

Golden Shot was losing badly against Deadly Rose who was propelling all of her attacks. She had all of her ideas destroyed and ran out of ideas. She began to think of one while dodging Deadly Rose's clear but sharp blades produced by her music.

"Alrighty! I gotta think hard of this!" Golden Shot quickly looked at her hoofgun and saw the self-destruct button on it for special occasions and she then thought of the greatest idea ever.

"T-That's it!" Golden Shot skitted across the floor which was cover with blade markings. She then hopped and deflecting the blades with her hoofgun and jumped high up. At that point, Deadly Rose did not know what she was doing. She then saw her aim her hoofgun at her and began to make a weak shield, not wanting to risk damaging the strings. The hoofgun simply bonked against the shield, then she heard a beep. And then was engulfed in the explosion.

Golden Shot fell on the floor, exhausted. She then saw the smoke where she threw her hoofgun and saw that Deadly Rose was barred but not severely hurt. She couldn't understand why she wasn't badly damaged. Deadly Rose noticed her look at her and laughed.

"It seems like you do not know much about my shields, they always.. have a second layer of shield which is much more weaker though but doesn't break easily, no?" Deadly Rose said.

Golden Shot knew that she destroyed the outer layer so she drew her knife with her mouth and charged at Deadly Rose but unfortunately that was the end of her, with that, Deadly Rose began to quickly rub her hooves on the violin's strings very hard. And Golden Shot was penetrated with at least twenty needles all over her chest and lower chest. Causing her to fall down and cough out blood profusely. Deadly Rose picked up her blade with her mouth and threw it on the ground with the tip of the blade and confronted Golden Shot who was bleeding to death.

"This was your fate from the start, Golden Shot. Prepare to join your mother.." Deadly Rose grabbed her knife from the ground and was about to dive it into Golden Shot but then saw a energy blast come at her. She quickly threw the blade at the energy blast and dodged. She then saw that it was two ponies, Shining Armor and Princess Cadance. She quickly went back to her violin and began to play music and then began to move her hoof along all the strings which made several blades hurl at them. Shining Armor was very quick to grab Golden Shot and then touch his hoof with Princess Cadance's and then they all teleported out.

Disappointed, Deadly Rose stopped playing music and cursed Shining Armor for disrupting her kill. She could've ended the mare who was an eyesore to them. Although she was upset that she had almost killed her, she walked back to the meeting room which was the room closest to her. While she walked, she wondered if the others had survived.

As the defeated group teleported out, they layed Golden Shot out on the ground. Golden Shot was fatally wounded with several needles inside her. The wounds were so fatal, that Princess Cadance nor Shining Armor could heal and they both knew they were too far away from Canterlot to give her extensive healing from Princess Celestia. Princess Cadance examined Golden Shot.

"You're badly wounded. I do not know If you will make it.. I am sorry." Princess Cadance frowned.

Golden Shot grunted but then she smiled but it was very frail. Golden Shot was not ready to die yet but she knew that it would happen to a fighter like her.

"That's.. alright... ugh... a.. mare like me... wasn't meant for this world.. anyways. Hey listen.. make sure Silent Wind doesn't.. die or get captured.. that stallion there's got.. too much.. to live for." Golden Shot gasped.

And with her last breath, Golden Shot died. Princess Cadance did not know her much but she knew her enough to shed a single tear for her. Princess Cadance who was heartbroken, could not know what to say to Silent Wind about her death. Shining Armor putted a hoof on Princess Cadance's shoulder.

"Dear, I need you to take her body and go back to Canterlot, make a funeral. It's the most respectful thing we can do.. I will go to the Changling castle to support the others there." Shining Armor then wiped her tear.

Princess Cadance putted Golden Shot's lifeless body on her back and teleported with her magic. Shining Armor then remembered the changling castle and looked northwest. He then ran in that direction.

Silent Wind, Twilight and his brother, Silent Whisper managed to catch up with Lily Blade and the five of the Mane Six. Silent Wind noticed that they were in a small arena, probably for changlings to test their worth and then they saw a very large gate in front of them which was slightly ajar.

"Hmm.. maybe this will lead to the hallway to the throne room." Twilight said.

"Maybe-" Silent Wind then heard a large crack and saw a big piece of stone come down at them. Silent Whisper saw it also and acted quickly.

"Everypony watch out!" Silent Whisper yelled.

Everypony reacted at jumped out of the falling stones way. Silent Wind who was slightly dazed, looked up to see a dark figure. The dark figure came out and everything was white on him. He was wearing a white sash and a white long coat with grey hair. The only thing that pointed out to Silent Wind was the pitch black eyes that every resurrected pony his fought had. No pony knew who he was. But Silent Whisper did and looked him with fear in his eyes which were not common opon him.

"T-Thats...!!" Silent Whisper said.

Silent Wind and the others looked at him, wondering what he was trying to say. Silent Wind stood up and looked at his brother with confusion in his eyes.

"What is it, bro?" Silent Wind asked.

Silent Whisper looked at him and sighed.

"Remember the first leader..?" Silent Whisper said.

Silent Wind then remembered, he was told how he was very powerful and knew how to manipulate wind like him but only that he was a master at it, the first leader of the silentblades then jumped down. Silent Wind then ran to Twilight and her friends to inform them to go on ahead of them.

"Twilight, take your friends and move on. Us three will get there in time, so don't you worry." Silent Wind then gave Twilight a quick kiss and she also kissed back.

"Okay then, be careful." Twilight gave a call motion with her hoof and her friends ran ahead. Silent Wind saw that Lily Blade and Silent Whisper were waiting for him to prepare to fight.

"Alright, lets see.. three against one. Seems fair enough, man been a while since we all fought as a group." Silent Wind said.

"Indeed, brother. My communication is quite rusty but I'll make it." Silent Whisper said.

"Okay guys, lets do this. Lets show him what Team Bladecloak can do!" Lily Blade yelled.

Shadow Moon Silentblade chuckled. And they were all quite surprised that he had a small pony impulse left.

"Impressive, but you will not win against me.." Shadow Moon said.

"..because I do not lose to Silentblade Traitors.."

Meanwhile back at Canterlot, Princess Celestia is soon informed by a Mage from the Horn-Magi University. She is surprised and shocked by the news. The Mage runs to Princess Celestia and bows down to her.

"Lady Celestia! I am here to inform you that our leader, Spirit Arcano has defeated two Silentblade Advisors and the third one has been slain by our dear expert wizard, Starfire!" The Informer said.

Princess Celestia could not believe what she was hearing. She went to her balcony and looked out only to see darkening skies and roars and yells in the distance. Which was her men fighting the opposing forces. She grunted, seeing that they were beginning to lose. She then looked back at the Informer and remembering that The oldest at the Horn-Magi University had defeated three Silentblade Advisors on the battlefield.

"Really..? The University is quite a formidable ally against the Silentblades." Princess Celestia said.

Then, The Informer frowned and showed that he also had bad news for Princess Celestia. Then, Princess Celestia heard her door smash open and saw that a Canterlot Royal Guard run in and bow in front of Princess Celestia. Confused, Princess Celestia went to the guard and confronted him.

"What's wrong, guard?!" Princess Celestia asked.

The guard still panting, answered her question.

"Princess Cadance has come back! She has minor injuries and we have her under care." The guard yelled.

Princess Celestia was shocked at what she heard. She had no idea that Princess Cadance was defeated and in her mind, thought of the worst for the others.

"What about Shining Armor and Miss Golden Shot?!" Princess Celestia said.

The guard sighed and stood up and looked down and then he looked up again.

"Shining Armor is fine, he has advanced to the Changeling Castle to support the other group there! The enemies at the Silentblade Castle were too much for them!" The guard said.

Princess Celestia looked out of one of the windows and sighed in relief that the Captain of the royal guard was fine but then she heard a sad sound from the guard.

"But.." The guard began.

"Yes?" Princess Celestia replied.

The guard had a small tear on his right eye and wiped it. He did not want to tell her the bad news but he had to. He took a deep breath and said it.

"Miss Golden Shot had died in battle."

Awakened Power

Chapter Thirteen: Awakened Power

Princess Celestia's eyes shot opened as she heard the news that Golden Shot had died. She walked to her throne and sat. She then sighed.

"I see, Inform the others of the news." Princess Celestia ordered.

"Yes, Princess Celestia." The guard said.

The guard ran out of the room and Princess Celestia standed there. Simply heartbroken for Silent Wind, She would not like it for Silent Wind to be told of her death but it was something that she had to do. She stood up and went to go check on Princess Cadance.

As the three stood there about to confront Shadow Moon, Silent Whisper was already thinking of a plan, seeing that head-on collisions with the opponent is very unwise and risky. Silent Wind didn't know what to really do other than attack but he kept his ground for a moment. Lily Blade began to simply look at Shadow Moon since she was very clueless what Shadow Moon could do and his possible flaws.

"Damn it! We're standing around too much!!" Silent Wind ran at Shadow Moon.

"Silent Wind! Wait!" Lily Blade said.

Silent Wind did not listen, he wanted to defeat the large stallion in front of them even if he was the first leader of the Silentblades. When he was within range of him, he dived one of his hidden blades at him only to no longer see him in front of him. He was behind him. Silent Wind stood up from the ground and blew his nose softly. He then heard Shadow Moon talk.

"Is that all? Begone." Shadow Moon then raised his right hoof and slammed it all the way down. Silent Wind shooked for a moment. Both Silent Whisper and Lily Blade did not know what Shadow Moon just did and then all the sudden, they saw a huge gush of blood came out from Silent Wind's chest and with that, Silent Wind fell down, near death. Silent Whisper's eyes widened in horror and in his rage, charged at Shadow Moon.

"Damn you!" Silent Whisper then summoned his scythe and grabbed it with his mouth and threw it at Shadow Moon but Shadow Moon had casted a shield and the sickle repelled and flew back to Silent Whisper. At the glimpse of his shield, he saw that he opened it with a small hole and putted his hoof through and shot a dense wind blast. Lily Blade reacted by placing a shield over Silent Whisper but the wind blast was very strong. Lily Blade grunted as she tried to keep the shield intact.

"This.. wind blast is so.. powerful. I'm going to-" Before Lily Blade could finish her thought, She and Silent Whisper were overwhelmed by the blast and were pushed back into the walls of the arena.

"Damn..!!" Silent Whisper grunted.

Shadow Moon then lowered his hoof and deactivated his shield and began to walk slowly towards the downed two. Lily Blade tried to stand up but she was pushed so hard against the walls that she did not have the strength to get up. Shadow Moon then chuckled.

"Die in vain." Shadow Moon said.

Shadow Moon then gasped very hard to gather up wind and pressure within his body to blow at the two but then, the two saw Silent Wind to their left and before Shadow Moon could blow at them, Silent Wind gave him a right punch that made him direct his blow to the left, causing a large mark on the walls and it also made Shadow Moon fly at a fast rate and pushing him into the walls also. Both Silent Whisper and Lily Blade were astonished and happy to see Silent Wind still up but looked at his chest and saw that it healed. Silent Whisper then remembered that the powers of Shade gave the host an amazing regeneration factor. Silent Wind panted as he gave some of his strength to that punch and saw that Shadow Moon was still standing, Silent Wind charged at him with his Shade-monster eyes.

"We don't have time to drag this out, guys! let's just hurry and beat the shit out of this motherbucker!" Silent Wind drew his hidden blades and blew wind into one of his blades which made it even longer but much heavier. And with a great swing, he swunged it at Shadow Moon. Shadow Moon quickly conjured a shield and managed to block Silent Wind's hidden blade that was longer since he made the wing form it into a longer blade but saw that his shield nearly broke. Silent Whisper then saw the opportunity to hit Shadow Moon with a severe blow. He quickly summoned Sheerclaw and ordered Sheerclaw to attack Shadow Moon's shield with his claw and break it. Sheerclaw quickly replied back with a dash at Shadow Moon and hitted him with a side swipe causing his shield to break and hitting him and throwing him back into the walls once again.

Lily Blade saw that they were winning. But then in the smoke, Sheerclaw was amazingly pushed back. Silent Whisper could not believe what he just saw. He then looked at the smoke and then heard a voice by him.

"Do not underestimate your enemies. Do not underestimate me." It was Shadow Moon's voice.

Silent Whisper turned to his right and saw Shadow Moon, before he could attack him with his single hidden blade on his right hoof, Shadow Moon propelled him away with a telekinesis ability and with Silent Whisper hitting against the wall very hardly. He could no longer get up but saw something different, there were markings all over Shadow Moon. Shadow Moon looked at Silent Whisper and smiled.

"I see you noticed the markings gift of the Silentblades. Very few ponies get this and only Silentblades get this." Shadow Moon then teleported by Silent Whisper and grabbed him with his magic.

"Astonishing, isn't it?" Shadow Moon said.

Then, Silent Wind came in behind Shadow Moon and was about to give Shadow Moon a slash to the chest with one of his hidden blades. Lily Blade also came in too, swinging her left hoof that had a large fist conjured by her. But then in a second, Shadow Moon was no longer in front of them. Silent Whisper was freed of the magic that held him. Both Silent Wind and Lily Blade cancelled their attacks. Shadow Moon then jumped in front of all of three of them and grabbed Silent Wind's Celestial Cloak and smashed him on the ground with a swinging hoof falling down, causing him to cough out trickles of blood. Shadow Moon then blew back Lily Blade with a wind blow and putted his hoof on Silent Whisper's face, and casted a small but powerful wind blast on his hoof and blasted back Silent Whisper's face which made him grunt in pain. Silent Wind looked down on the ground and hitted the ground with his hoof.

"You.. think you're all that... but you're not!!" Silent Wind yelled as he was getting even more angrier.

And with that, Silent Wind began to feel a large feeling of rush. He looked at one of his hooves and saw that he was turning dark-purple. Just like Shade. Lily looked at Silent Wind while wiping a trickle of blood below her mouth and saw that he was grunting hardly. His hair was turning white and getting more spikier. His eyes turning into a different form and the old Purple-black shade eyes he had were now turning into Crimson red-black shade eyes. She then looked at his teeth which were beginning to turn sharper and longer. And then, his wings then turning into slight-bat wings. Silent Wind grunted, and looking at himself. Not knowing what his happening to him and then he heard Shade's voice.

"You should really tap deeper into my powers! This power is much stronger than that damn Silentblade marking gift! Hurry and beat him, he might be the first leader of the Silentblades but he's resurrected so he can't use his most strongest magics but he's still tough!" Shade's voice echoed within his mind.

Silent Wind charged at him with an astonishing speed and began to cast magic, seeing that Shade was able to use magic, he could use magic also. He made a small smoke cloud and Shadow Moon raised an eyebrow and then saw a large fireball come at him and Shadow Moon reacted by using magic with his horn and dousing out the fire with water and then saw that Silent Wind was inside the fireball and with a blink of an eye, he saw that Silent Wind had dived his right hidden blade into his chest. Shadow Moon chuckled at Silent Wind, seeing that Silent Wind had a small resemblance toward him.

"Interesting.. you are just like me.. a stallion who cares about himself." Shadow Moon said and then he began to glow. Silent Whisper and Lily Blade both grunted but stood up, slightly dazed and very amazed that Silent Wind was strong enough to defeat the first leader of the Silentblades but only because Shadow Moon could not use his other abilities to use. Silent Wind shooked his head slowly and looked at Shadow Moon with his Crimson-black Shade eyes.

"No, I'm not like you or anypony else.." Silent Wind then took his blade out of Shadow Moon and sheathed it into his bracers but Shadow Moon simply stood there as he was about to vanish. Then, Silent Wind finished his sentence.

"..because anypony can change." Silent Wind then casted a small sphere with a tiny needle on it and charged at Shadow Moon and stabbed it into Shadow Moon and then he flew back.

"I see.. that must be courage." And then the sphere exploded and Shadow Moon simply broke into small particles and then all of his particles vanished.

Everypony including Silent Wind sighed. Silent Wind closed his eyes and then Silent Whisper and Lily Blade saw that he was turning back to normal and slightly getting smaller seeing how that the form he was in made him bigger. Lily went up to Silent Wind and so did Silent Whisper. Silent Whisper putted a hoof on Silent Wind's shoulder and Silent Wind looked at him with a smile.

"Looks like we're done with him now, too bad nopony was here to enjoy it." Silent Whisper joked.

Silent Wind and Lily Blade chuckled and Silent Wind saw that the gate that Twilight and her friends went into in front of them opened and saw a long and big stairway which had all chandeliers lit up and they all knew there was going to be a hallway also. All of them nodded at each other and began run up the long and large stairway.

Twilight and her friends finally got to the large door that lead to the throne room and saw Discord. Discord slammed his throne and stood up. Enraged, he yelled at the Mane Six.

"Really, Twilight Sparkle.. you are a mere bump in my road!!" Discord yelled out.

Twilight and the other five of the Mane Six stood in a line. About to prepare to use the elements of harmony to defeat Discord once and for all.

"It's over, Discord!" Twilight's horn then began to spark and her friends levitated off the ground and then they all launched a single rainbow at Discord. Discord roared in objection but it was no use. Then, all the sudden, a large explosion happened. Twilight and her friends widened their eyes in surprise as they never saw that happen when they first defeated Discord. Then, they saw a Stallion who was three times their size. It was Discord in a ponified form. He had a brown coat, same evil yellow eyes, two horns on top of his head, a small beard, and two yellow hooves.

"Too bad, I made this form before you all came. I hope you all like it!" Discord's voice was much more smoothing. Then, he used one of his hooves to take off the elements of Harmony from all of the Mane Six and threw them aside where they could not reach it.

"Looks like we're gonna do this the hard way!!" Rainbow Dash yelled and went into a attacking position and the others of the Mane Six also joined in also as they prepared to fight Discord.

Discord gave them a sinister smile and chuckled. He then casted two glows within his two horns and flew up with his wings, showing that he turned himself not into a unicorn, but a Alicorn.

A Powerful Draconequus

Chapter Fourteen: A Powerful Draconequus

After several minutes of walking up the long steps, The trio finally got to the top. Which also had a long hallway, they all grunted and walked. Meanwhile, Shade was talking to Silent Wind inside is mind.

"Forgive me if the form you were in was not right." Shade apologized.

Surprisingly, Silent Wind could also speak inside his mind also so that the others did not hear him talk to himself and halt for hearing him talking to himself. He then spoke back to Shade by slightly closing his eyes while walking and thinking hard within his mind.

"It's okay, even powerful auras have flaws and drawbacks. Right?" Silent Wind said within his mind.

Shade laughed and Silent Wind giggled slightly but not loud enough for the others to hear. Silent Wind coughed a little and Shade sighed.

"That reminds me, do not use my power too much at the state we are in." Shade explained.

Silent Wind at that point, became confused. When he used the power in their last conflict with Shadow Moon, all he felt was a good rush but then Silent Wind looked down at his moving hooves and saw marks on them. Dirt marks but they were permanent. Silent Wind once again tapped into his thoughts again.

"Why? Is there something bad?" Silent Wind asked in his thoughts.

"Absolutely, I see how you looked at your hooves. My powers however you cannot control so well yet so there are side effects such as pain. The rush given blurs out the pain and worst, use it too much and the pain might kill you. Worst of all, using it constantly will change you personality permanently. Seeing that some of my aura leaks out and goes into your mind and believe me, Normal and monster pony aura don't go so well." Shade said to Silent Wind.

Silent Wind gulped at took a soft breath. He didn't like how it still had side effects even though he liked how the powers helped him. Even though he had gotten the cooperation of Shade, he still had to master the powers of Shade. And only doing that, he slightly deteriorated the bad side effects. He also didn't think of the idea of him having personality changes permanently. He took a deep breath and talked again.

"That's really bad.. but I know how I haven't mastered the power yet. So, all I have to do is master your power and the bad stuff will stop?" Silent Wind said.

"Yes, that's how it goes. Just make sure you can master my power before it's too late." Shade said.

And with that, Silent Wind stopped talking. Then he saw that they were already at the gate. Silent Wind smiled and thought that Twilight and the others must've handled Discord by now. But he decided that it would be best to see what they were doing.

"Okay guys, lets check on em! I bet they-" Silent Wind opened the gate and saw a horrifying scene. He saw that the Mane Six were all beaten up. Rainbow Dash was smashed to the ground, Fluttershy down on the ground. Pinkie Pie thrown against the wall, Applejack with her hat by her and she too was down. Rarity was down too but in a dramatic position. And most of all, he saw Twilight down in front of Discord and Discord was looking at her.

"Ah.. I see the party has come." Discord said.

Silent Wind could not contain the anger inside him when he had saw Twilight, he began to show his purple-black eyes that showed he was using Shade's power and flew at Discord with at a fast rate. He drew his hidden blades and thrusted at Discord. Discord chuckled and simply slapped Silent Wind's face and Silent Wind flew at the wall and fell on the ground. Silent Whisper looked around in the throne room and saw various thrones around the gigantic room and finally saw a large throne bigger than the rest of the rooted throne rooms. He then saw all of the chandeliers light up green flames and the room brightened. Lily Blade then turned her head at Silent Whisper.

"What do we do? Silent Wind is hurt." Lily said.

Silent Whisper knew what Draconequus were and they could make a pony form of themselves. He did not know how strong Discord was but when he saw Silent Wind pushed aside by Discord, he knew that Discord was certainly exceptionally strong. He putted his snout near Lily Blade's ear.

"We should think of how strong he is first.." Silent Whisper whispered.

Lily Blade nodded and began to run at Discord, Discord did nothing to stop her. He simply stood there bored out of his brains. Lily jumped and made a large fist on her left hoof with her magic and swunged it with all of her might. The force was strong enough to make a stallion fly but Discord simply stood with a small skitter across the floor and then he teleported behind Lily Blade. Lily Blade quickly turned behind her but was hit with a frozen blast and was pushed back. She fell on her hooves and saw that her arm was beginning to freeze and it was beginning to spread across her body, She quickly smashed her arm against the ground, causing the ice to break.

"So boooring!!" Discord mocked.

Lily Blade then smirked, Discord made raised an eyebrow and saw a large shadow behind him and turned around. He saw a large paw come smashing down on him. Discord tried to stand from the paw weighing down on him but eventually, He got crushed. Silent Whisper laughed.

"Nice job, Sheerclaw!" Silent Whisper said. Sheerclaw howled in reply. Silent Whisper saw a shake within the paw that Sheerclaw had smashed down. Discord was shaking and getting up, Discord then did a force push around him and propelling Sheerclaw at Silent Wind. Sheerclaw made a piercing yowl and Silent Whisper dodged. Silent Whisper's vision was blurry and could not know what had just happened. Discord then Flew up and began to cast multiple fireballs and energy rays at Sheerclaw. Making Sheerclaw yowl in pain as the magic struck him everywhere. Silent Whisper saw that it was about time that Sheerclaw went back inside. He said his name once again and Sheerclaw was sucked back into the large mark which looked like a tattoo on his chest. Discord then laughed and was in the air.

"Amazing work! Just Amazing! You're much more fun than the Elements of Harmony!" Discord laughed more.

Lily was getting very irritated by the Draconequus and in her rage, shot a lightning bolt at Discord. Discord simply deflected it with his hoof that had his aura formed into a gauntlet. Lily cursed herself and saw Silent Wind behind Discord, holding a gigantic wind drill in one of his hoofs that was made by him with his natural wind ability. She also looked at him, seeing that he was in the form that he was in last time with Crimson-black Silentblade eyes, white hair, dark-purple coat and long and sharp teeth but what was more different were the marks around his arms and his chest. The chest had a swirl mark while the arms and swirling lines also wrapped around his arms.

Discord noticed Silent Wind behind him. Discord quickly made a dense shield, seeing that drill was big and destructive enough to kill him. Silent Wind then dived the drill at Discord the moment that Discord made his shield around him.

"Shut the buck up!!" Silent Wind roared.

"Such language, you must be punished!" Discord yelled.

Discord then touched his shield and began to radiate electricity. Since Silent Wind's wind drill was touching the shield, it too hit Silent Wind. Silent Wind broke his drill and Discord found it as the opportunity to attack Silent Wind. Discord deactivated his shield and hitted Silent Wind's head downward which propelled Silent Wind down to the ground and smashed him to the ground and flew down where Silent Wind was. Silent Whisper and Lily Blade ran to Silent Wind but Discord was too fast for them, He landed right by Silent Wind and conjured an energy blade and dived it into Silent Wind's stomach. Silent Wind opened his eyes in shock and his body was still. Silent Whisper and Lily Blade attempted to attack Discord but Discord pushed Silent Whisper back with a force push and Silent Whisper was pushed back into the walls which made Silent Whisper grunt in pain. Lily had Discord's hoof in her face and Discord radiated a lightning shock and the shock made his skid across the floor. Silent Wind who are mortally injured, opened his eyes slightly with blood coming out of his mouth. Twilight opened her eyes in shock as she and her friends were still on the ground, all of her friends were knocked out.

"S-Silent Wind...!" Twilight growled.

"Silent Wind!! Get up, he's gonna kill you!" Shade's voice echoed within his mind.

Discord looked at the downed Stallion for a moment and remembered what Void had said to him. He smirked and chuckled for moment and then gave Silent Wind a sigh.

"Oh.. you must be Silent Wind. Oh your father has told me so much about you. He's giving everypony a thrashing for you!" Discord said.

Silent Wind was not surprised. He knew that his father was throwing everything at everypony for him seeing how badly his Father wanted Shade. He saw that he was bleeding profusely.

"Too bad I don't cooperate.. I really have been using the Silentblades for my domination. Funny isn't it?" Discord then levitated the downed Silent Wind to him and Discord then raised one of his hooves and conjured a large blade on his hoof and pulled it all the way back behind his head.

Twilight did not want Silent Wind to die. Twilight began to shed tears and putted her hooves together and said words in her mind for the last glimpse of hope she had left. Silent Whisper was down and Lily was hurt and could no longer move. And with her begging, she begged one thing in her mind.

"Please... somepony.. anypony help him.." Twilight began to see tears go down her cheeks quickly.

"Silent Wind! Come on! You have to get him, I can't heal you because I've used up most of my willpower!" Shade yelled out in his mind.

Silent Wind tried to get away from Discord's magical grip on him but it was no use, Silent Wind had no more energy to move anymore and gave up, he thought that it was end of him. He then thought of Twilight and looked at her and saw that she was still down and was shedding tears. Silent Wind smiled at her, remembering the memories with her. He wished that he could stay with her longer. And Silent Wind moved his lips and Twilight knew what he said.

"I'm so sorry, Twilight. Forgive me." Silent Wind said.

Silent Wind then looked at Discord who was still holding him with his telekinesis and Discord said his last words to him.

"Prepare to go to your mother and friends, and tell them to forgive you for being so pathetically weak!" Discord was about to dive the energy blade into Silent Wind but all the sudden, He saw a bright light emitting from all of the scattered Elements of Harmony. He dropped Silent Wind and dashed away from the light.

"What is this?!!" Discord yelled.

Twilight saw the light too with her heavy eyes and saw the elements levitated on top on Silent Wind. Silent Wind looked up at the Elements of Harmony and looked at them with complete confusion and then the whole room turned white, blinding all that was still conscious.

The room then stopped glowing a bright Light and Twilight and Discord both saw Silent Wind. And saw him in a way that they could never imagine seeing him in. Silent Wind was on the ground but felt very calm and happy. He saw that he was different. Very different.

"Th-That's Impossible! How!!" Discord growled.

Twilight could not believe what she was seeing. She could not describe it, seeing how amazing and astonishing Silent Wind was looking like in front of her own eyes.

The Power of Harmony

Chapter Fifteen: The Power of Harmony

Silent Wind looked at himself and saw a golden gauntlet on his hooves. He raised his right hoof and saw an reddish-orange and green apple-shaped gem. Which was the gem of Honesty. He looked to left hoof and saw a blue gem that looked like a balloon. Which was the gem of Laughter. He then saw three gems on his Chestplate. A red thunderbolt-shaped gem, a purple diamond-shaped gem, and pink butterfly-shaped gem. All of them representing the elements of Loyalty, Generosity, and Kindness. He then took off the heavy helmet off his and saw a magenta star-shaped gem, which was a star. It represented Magic. He putted the golden helmet back on. At that point, he saw that his whole body was glowing pale yellow and emitting off a aura which was surrounding his whole body. He also saw he was still wearing his bracers as he could feel it with his once-silver coat and he saw his cloak around his neck also and saw it was flowing as if there was wind.

Discord and anypony who was conscious saw that he was emitting a large aura field that was huge. Discord who was in complete confusion could not understand what was happening before his very eyes. He putted a hoof to his head and began to shout out.

"How..?!! It makes no difference!!" Discord flew at Silent Wind shot an aura blast at him. Silent Wind saw a face mask form and levered his right hoof the left and swunged it to right at the moment the aura blast was close enough and deflected it. Discord was shocked as it was impossible to deflect an aura blast that dense. Discord then saw Silent Wind open his mouth and breathed deeply and blew out a wind blow. The wind pressure by the Wind blow was so powerful that it propelled Discord back into the walls of the throne room. Discord was beginning to get frustrated, he did not know what had made the Elements of Harmony come together and form an amazing power for Silent Wind. His frustration was able to get better of him as he made a chirping lightning on his hand. Silent Wind was able to recognize it as an explosive lightning that radiated an area of lightning the moment it hitted the ground. He looked to his left and right and saw Rarity and Fluttershy not far from him. He knew they too would get hit also. The moment Discord threw the lightning bomb, Silent Wind grabbed both Rarity and Fluttershy with his given magic abilities and hopped over the other side and brought them to the opposite side of the large throne room and dropped them carefully on the ground.

"Th..-Thank you.. Silent Wind.." Fluttershy muttered.

Silent Wind smiled and patted Fluttershy on the head.

"No prob, just stay here and lay down." Silent Wind looked up at Discord with his Shade-Silentblade eyes but it was now white-black eyes.

"I don't feel any difference other than just feeling stronger. More stronger. I can't drag this out though I have got to end this as soon as possible!" Silent Wind flew up and began to cast a physical push spell. Discord was able to dodge the physical push but that was only a diversion. Silent Wind clapped his hooves together and teleported behind Discord so quickly that Twilight didn't even see a small aura blink at where he once was. Silent Wind drew one of his blades as the gauntlets he had were gauntlets that had small slots for his hidden blades. Silent Wind pulled back his left hoof with the drawn blade and swung at Discord's head. Discord dodged by lowering his head and pulled away from Silent Wind when he swung his other hoof to lay a punch on his face. Discord saw Silent Wind raised his right hoof and saw a large hammer at the hoof which was conjured by Silent Wind's aura, seeing that he could form his aura in anyway he wanted which was amazing ability he had, he saw it as an opportunity to smash Discord down. He then swinged down his right hoof down toward Discord and Discord was about to hit the ground and as he was falling but was grabbed by the stretching aura hand that Silent Wind quickly made with his aura and launched Discord back at him. He then brought the stretched hand back into a part of his aura and flew at the launched Discord and slammed him down with his forearm with devastating speed and strength. He then sheathed his left blade.

Discord shakingly tried to get up from the broken ground, but Silent Wind teleported near him and placed his left hoof on his neck. Making him unable to rise up.

"Looks like the strong one is now the weak one." Silent Wind then began to form his aura all around his right hoof and Discord began to cough.

"Whatever you may say... you better be grateful to The powers of the Elements of Harmony.. for they will not save you another time..!" Discord hacked. Twilight crawled closer to hear what they were saying more clearer.

"I've seen.. so many things you've done.. they're unforgivable. You've killed so many ponies with your magic. Hurted ponies around me. Hurted mares and certain stallions alike, but.. worst of all.." Silent Wind began to sound more angrier. He raised up his right hoof up as he was about kill Discord with the destruction of his punch with increased destruction with all of his aura made into one big hoof.

"..You hurted the Mare I love, You hurted my Twilight Sparkle!!" Silent Wind roared as he swunged his aura-contained hoof into Discord's chest and made an even larger destroyed floor. Twilight looked at Silent Wind as he had an anger-filled expression on his face. The destruction of the punch was enough to instantly kill Discord. Silent Wind then collapsed after that and panted. His body began to completely white and he turned back to his old form and Twilight heard the Elements of Harmony fall on the ground. Silent Wind soon stood up, looking fine. And walked to Twilight and lowered his head.

"Are you okay, Twilight?" Silent Wind said. His hoof he hitted Discord with was bleeding.

Twilight grunted as she stood and wobbled slightly but was able to keep her balance. She ran to Silent Wind to heal him and most of all, hug him. Twilight ran at Silent Wind and threw her arms at Silent Wind as she hugged him. Silent Wind hugged with his left hoof and embraced his Marefriend once again.

"I'm fine.. just worry about yourself.." Twilight hugged Silent Wind tighter and so did Silent Wind. Silent Wind looked over Twilight's shoulder and saw both Lily Blade and Silent Whisper stand up and move near the couple. Silent Whisper was beginning to glow. Silent Wind broke the hug with Twilight and went toward his brother.

"You're... going." Silent Wind said.

Silent Whisper nodded. He was still resurrected and knowing that Discord had died, the resurrection spell was beginning to wear off every resurrected Pony that Discord brought back.

"Yes, my work here is done.. before I go, I'm going to give you a gift." Silent Whisper putted his hoof on Silent Wind's forehead and Silent Wind felt something go inside of him.

"You're giving me your guardian power?!" Silent Wind tilted his head at his brother.

"Yeah, I hope that it will help you more than it has helped me. And do not fret about me.. because.." Silent Whisper hugged Silent Wind in one final embrace.

"..I will be the guardian that shall guide you through your times of need." And with that, Silent Whisper vanished. Silent Wind was able to shed tears for the brother he loved. And then, he saw a permanent Silentblade symbol on his left upper arm.

"Thank you, bro. I won't forget you." Silent Wind looked up and smiled.

Lily Blade went near Silent Wind and putted a hoof on his shoulder. She smiled but it was a fragile small smile.

"It's okay Silent Wind, what shall we do now..?" Lily Blade asked.

Silent Wind looked around and saw the shut gate. He then began to hear a faint bang on the door. All the sudden, the three of them heard a large boom and there was a hole in the gate. As they looked closer, They saw Shining Armor and several guards along with him. They all went inside the throne room and cleared it. Shining Armor then went inside. Surprised that Shining Armor was by her, Twilight ran up to Shining Armor. Glad that he is alright.

"Brother! did you already defeat the Silentblades?!" Twilight blurted out.

Shining Armor shook his head. Disappointed, Twilight lowered her head slightly.

"We did not, the Silentblades in black and white turned out to be too much for us. Cadance was sent back to Canterlot. We recieved word minutes ago that both sides have retreated for now and have gone back to the main bases. Oh yes of course, Silent Wind, come here." Shining Armor said.

Silent Wind's eyes went wide and he walked toward Shining Armor.

"Yes?" Silent Wind asked.

Shining Armor of course, knew about Golden Shot and that she had died. Shining Armor did not want to tell Silent Wind about Golden Shot's death but Shining Armor knew he was going to find out. One way or another. He took a deep sigh and said it.

"Your friend, Golden Shot was slain in battle by a Silentblade. I am sorry." Shining Armor said, lowering his head.

Silent Wind's eyes went opened. He sat on the ground and shook his head. He was shocked when he heard that Golden Shot was dead. Golden Shot was a great friend seeing that she was one of the ponies who helped him escape during his time with the Silentblades. But he knew Golden Shot, she would've wanted him to keep his guard up no matter what. Silent Wind stood up and breathed.

"I feel horrid but I know Golden Shot, she wants us to never show tears for her because that's how we become strong and show her that we're strong, right?" Silent Wind smiled.

Shining Armor looked at Silent Wind with surprised. Twilight grinned at Silent Wind and gave him a quick kiss and nodded and Silent Wind smiled back at her. Shining Armor then chuckled slightly.

"You are right as always, Silent Wind. Now must should go back to the camps and think of our plan to defeat the Silentblades, no?" Shining Armor suggested.

"Oh yeah, sure but Twilight's friends.." Silent Wind began but then he heard Applejack's and Rainbow Dash's voice behind him.

"We're mighty fine 'ere.. just a bit beaten." Applejack was carrying Pinkie Pie who was blurting things out.

"My head.. hurty..!!" Pinkie Pie groaned.

"Yeah.. kind of.." Rainbow Dash stuttered. Rainbow Dash was in the air holding Rarity. Fluttershy was on the ground with Applejack and standing. Silent Wind to Twilight and putted a hoof on her shoulder.

"I think you should get the Elements and put them on your friends." Silent Wind suggested.

Twilight nodded and levitated the elements near her friends and putted the necklaces on each one of her friends and then putted the crown on her head.

"Okay then, should we go now?" Twilight said to Shining Armor.

"Yes we should." Shining Armor said.

Before they all headed out, Shining Armor ordered his men to stay behind and examine the throne room, after that, The Mane six, Lily and Silent Wind, and Shining Armor went back to the right mountain range and went backwards and after several hours, it was beginning to turn into sunset. Luckily, The group managed to get to one of the Celestial camps near Canterlot and stopped there to get food, aid, and anything that helped them.

Meanwhile, Void was in the Changeling castle and managed to get there by simply teleporting. Within only several minutes, Void had already killed eight of the Canterlot guards that were in the throne room. Void walked toward the lifeless body of Discord. His eyes still opened with shock. That's when Void chuckled.

"Oh my.. the powers of a draconequus.. so mysterious." Void then raised his left hoof and grew a blade out of his hoof palm. He chuckled more with a sinister smile, thinking of something he was about to do was going to make him much stronger than ever.

"I must see it for myself. Thank you for the gift.. Discord." Void then began to dive the grown blade in his hoof palm into Discord's left eye.

Departing Words

Chapter Sixteen: Departing Words

As Silent Wind and the others got to the camp nearby, There were met by Canterlot Guards and Southern rebels. The Canterlot Guards escorted the Mane Six to the Infirmary. Shining Armor was brought to the Command center of the camp and was pointing out things on a map to others. Silent Wind stood on the cliff and looked out to the retreating enemies to the camps and saw that there will still souls going up to the skies since Discord's resurrection spell had broke. Lily Blade went over to Silent Wind and began to heal his wounds. Once Lily Blade was finished healing Silent Wind's wounds, She sat right by Silent Wind and sniffed slightly and turned her head away uncomfortably and soon after, turned her head at Silent Wind. Silent Wind turned his eyes at Lily Blade with a questioning look.

"What is it?" Silent Wind questioned.

Lily Blade coughed and rubbed her hooves together in a concerning way and looked up into the orange sky. Silent Wind raised an eyebrow at her in confusion. Lily Blade then looked at Silent Wind with a serious look.

"What will you do now? I feel tension. Are you okay, Silent Wind?" Lily went closer to Silent Wind and tilted her head so she could see Silent Wind's azure blue eyes.

"Oh.. I don't know. I have to think about it." Silent Wind muttered.

Silent Wind thought of what to do now. Either wait till tomorrow and attack the enemy with their replenished strength or he would attack them tonight, and do it himself. He turned his head behind him and looked at Twilight and her friends going inside the Infirmary tent. He then looked over at Shining Armor and the surrounding guards around him. He then looked back toward the Silentblade castle that was barely visible.

"I guess I can try to take the rest overnight. It'll only take till morning to defeat my Dad." Silent Wind said to Lily Blade.

Lily Blade's eyes went wide. She didn't think that Silent Wind would resort to taking things in his own hands. Lily Blade stood up with a surprising expression at Silent Wind. Silent Wind turned his head at Lily Blade as she was standing there. Silent Wind frowned, knowing that Lily Blade would object to his idea.

"Wh-What? Why..!?" Lily sneered.

Silent Wind stood up also and nodded once he was standing. Lily tilted her head down. Silent Wind moved forward her and putted his hoof on Lily Blade's chin and brought her head up. Lily was frowning, Silent Wind smiled.

"I know that you're a bit worried about me also.. but I want you to come along. You're my teammate afterall." Silent Wind said.

Lily Blade chuckled and rubbed her head. She began to brighten up since Silent Wind wanted her help, and saw that he was very determined. She nodded and gave a questioning look at Silent Wind.

"When do we go?" Lily said.

Silent Wind forgot what time they were going to move out. Silent Wind pondered for a moment and putted his hoof near his face and pointed it up which showed that he had already thought of what time they were going to move.

"At 10PM. We'll get to the Silentblade Castle possibly at 12PM if we're quick." Silent Wind said.

Lily Blade nodded. Silent Wind turned his head at Lily Blade as she walked into the camps. Silent Wind looked around and decided to check on Twilight and her friends. He walked to the Infirmary tent and opened the flap. He saw that Twilight was sitting on a chair and the others were resting on bed rolls but in good shape. Silent Wind went toward Twilight and smiled at her.

"Hey, not in a good shape huh?" Silent Wind joked.

Twilight looked at herself and saw that her forehead was bandaged, her left hoof was bandaged and her hair was slightly messy. She chuckled and so did Silent Wind. She then sighed and smiled back at Silent Wind.

"No, but you here makes me feel better." Twilight stood up shakingly and kissed Silent Wind and Silent Wind kissed back by moving his tongue inside Twilight's mouth and Twilight replied back with a moan and also moving her tongue with Silent Wind's tongue. They soon broke the kiss and Silent Wind wiped his lips with his hoof and coughed. He tilted his eyes to the right.

"Well.. it's nearly nighttime, Twilight. I think it's about time that you'd get sleep. Here, I'll help." Silent Wind moved toward Twilight and putted Twilight on his back. Twilight held on to Silent Wind as he floated toward one of the empty bed rolls and carefully laid her body on the bed roll. Once Twilight was about to close her eyes, Silent Wind lowered his head and gave Twilight a kiss on her forehead. And moved his head back and gave her a fragile smile as she went to sleep.

"I have to go now, Good night Twilight." And with that Silent Wind went out of the Infirmary tent and once he was outside, he saw it was nighttime. He looked to his left and saw Lily Blade by the Infirmary camp flap door. Lily Blade moved forward Silent Wind and sighed.

"I'm so sorry you had to that. It must've hurted to fake those smiles." Lily Blade said.

Silent Wind ignored Lily Blade's comment and moved forward toward the resting tents. It was already 8PM and Silent Wind wanted to prepare. Lily followed Silent Wind as he moved forward the tents. Silent Wind shooked his head slowly and looked at Lily Blade.

"It really hurts to lie to her.. since she's the one I trust the most. Besides.." Silent Wind began.

Lily Blade wondered what he was going to say. Silent Wind then halted his walking and glared at Lily Blade with his Shade-Silentblade eyes which were half opened.

"..It's my burden, my problem." Silent Wind said seriously. He then went into one of the tents. For a moment, Lily Blade felt his aura become very heartless and cold. She stay still for a moment and began to feel concerned about Silent Wind, but She eventually shrugged it off and forgot about it. She then walked into the tent that Silent Wind went into.

It was nighttime, Silent Wind walked out of his tent and saw the twilight stars in the horizon. He also saw a faint glow in the distance, the Silentblade Castle. It began to sprinkle water in the skies. Silent Wind was already ready and knew that Lily Blade was waiting along the left mountain range they were both going to. As he was about to leave, he heard a small flapping as if someone was opening a tent flap. He looked behind him and saw Twilight was in front of him. Twilight walked toward Silent Wind as his eyes were wide and locked on Twilight.

"Why are you out here? It's dead of night." Silent Wind said.

"I could say the same thing.." Twilight muttered.

Silent Wind began to lower his eyes and turned his head away at Twilight and began to walk away from her, not saying a word from her. Twilight teleported in front of Silent Wind, concerned about Silent Wind. Silent Wind looked down.

"Where are you going..?" Twilight said.

Silent Wind could no longer hide from her. He took a deep breath, tilted his head up, and told Twilight where he was going.

"I'm going to the Silentblade Castle. Don't come. Please, I don't want you to get hurt." Silent Wind told Twilight.

Twilight knew that it would happen. She frowned and began to tear up. Silent Wind looked down and sighed, he didn't want Twilight to wake up and see him go. To Twilight, it was painful for her to see somepony she loved go and risk his own life. Twilight went closer to Silent Wind, trying to make him stay. She then putted a hoof on his other hoof, making him look at it.

"Please, stay.." Twilight begged.

Silent Wind's motivation was already in his mind already, he wanted to kill his own guild because he simply wanted the pain to stop for him, for everypony, and for Twilight. He quickly dashed at Twilight and hugged her. Twilight's eyes went open as she was hugged by Silent Wind.

"Thanks, Twilight. For everything.. let me take care of everything. I love you." Silent Wind said.

Twilight began to close her eyes slightly.

"I love you, too.. I love you so much.." Twilight then felt something on her neck. She heard a small tap and her vision began to blacken and she was beginning to fall also. Silent Wind grabbed her and slowly floated at toward the tent he was in recently and laid her on his bed roll. Twilight was knocked out and Silent Wind kissed her one more time before leaving.

Once Silent Wind was done with Twilight, He went toward the left mountain range. He saw that both the mountain ranges were not connected so he flew at the left mountain range. Once he was on the sideroad of the mountain range, he saw Lily Blade come out of one of the mountains openings inside the mountain. She slid down toward Silent Wind and approached him.

"Silent Wind.. are you okay?" Lily Blade said.

Silent Wind did not say anything. He putted his hood up, seeing that the skies were beginning to pour down with water. Lily Blade also did the same thing. Silent Wind rubbed his eyes for a moment and Lily's mouth went open for a moment.

"Are.. you crying..?" Lily stuttered.

Silent Wind looked at Lily Blade. He hurted the one he loved, and with what he did. He couldn't even talk to Lily Blade and tell her anything. Silent Wind turned his head back at the light in the distance and saw that the rain was getting heavier by the minute. Silent Wind flew up and landed on top of the mountains and began to scan in the distance. He saw that there were a few Silentblades at the Silentblade Castle and looked out into the fields and saw hundreds of camps scattered throughout the forest fields. Silent Wind flew back down to Lily Blade and told her what he saw.

"There's a lot of them camped along the fields but there's only a few at the Castle. We'll have to take them out as well, got it?" Silent Wind said.

"So.. you're saying that the Advisors might be in the Castle as well?" Lily asked.

Silent Wind nodded. Even though the Advisors of the Silentblades were strong, he knew that he was strong enough to defeat them with his determination.

"The Advisors are always loyal to my dad. I won't be surprised if we bump into them because as soon as we get in there, I'm sure they'll know where there." Silent Wind said.

"Okay then, should we go now..? It's about 11PM right now.. best if we went now since time is precious to us right now." Lily suggested.

"Yeah, let's go." Silent Wind began to walk toward the light in the distance and Lily Blade followed him. Silent Wind who was still walking, thought of Twilight and what he did to her. If Silent Wind came back, he could not know if Twilight would be able to forgive him. As it the thundering roars muzzled his sobbing, Lily was still walking, clueless that Silent Wind was crying.

As the Silentblades were recuperating from the long battle, Void Silentblade stood on his throne with the last two Advisors, Deadly Rose and Magicius Shadow-Cloak. Void was holding his right eye and rubbing it slowly. Deadly Rose and Magicius noticed.

"Sir, are you okay?" Deadly Rose said.

"He's fine as always, do not worry." Magicius said.

Void began to chuckle. It had only been hours after implanting Discord's right eye into his eye socket. He had always wondered about the powers of a Draconequus. He then stopped rubbing his right eye but it was still closed. He then sighed as if he was satisfied with something.

"I am perfect. For now, we should just wait and see what comes.. Discord was merely a useful pawn and seeing what he did, he killed most of the forces of Celestia. Even though I am the leader and all.." Void began.

Deadly Rose and Magicius smiled as Void was talking. Void then opened his right eye, showing the eye of Discord but now, it was in a red and orange color.

"I still want to kill somepony with my new eye powers.."

The Feeling of Killing

Chapter Seventeen: The Feeling of Killing

Silent Wind turned his head left and right, checking for any spies of the Silentblades, Lily noticed and she also did the same thing, moved her head left and right to check for any ambushers. Silent Wind wanted to make his coming at the Silentblade Castle perfect. He simply just wanted to kill anypony in his path and end it all with his own hooves. They began to continue to run forward the Castle light nearby as they have been running for an hour and the rain was still pouring down on them. Silent Wind and Lily Blade soon got to the end of the mountain range, a dead end. But as former Silentblades, they knew it was merely a secret to get to the Silentblade Castle since the Silentblade Castle was actually on top of the highest peak of the mountain range. Lily Blade's horn began to glow and Silent Wind held on to her should and in a second, they blinked to another location. The large boulders outside of the Silentblade Castle. Silent Wind hid behind one of the boulders and Lily Blade followed him by doing the same thing. Silent Wind peeked from the boulder and saw two Silentblades positioned by the gate. Silent Wind quickly turned his head at Lily Blade.

"Okay, there's two Silentblades out by the gate.. what do you think you want to do?" Silent Wind whispered.

Lily Blade creeped over Silent Wind so she could peek over him. She saw two Silentblades by the gate and looked at them a moment longer and creeped back over Silent Wind and looked at him.

"I think we should do this, Silently..." Lily Blade whispered.

Silent Wind creeped at the edge of the boulder they were behind and saw three other boulders to the right. He thought for a moment and quickly dashed over the first one, the second one, and then the third one. Luckily, the Silentblade members did not notice him. Lily also dashed over also but she stopped at the first one. Lily Blade began to conjure a dagger out of her aura and lifted it above her head and aimed it at one of Silentblades. She ordered her blade to hurl at one of the Silentblade's head and it hitted one of the Silentblade's head causing him to die instantly and made the other gasp. As he was about to yell out, Silent Wind flew at him with extreme speed and putted one hoof on his mouth and another on his back head and then he quickly turned his head all the way to the left, which emitted at snapping sound and killed the other Silentblade instantly. Silent Wind sighed in relief that it was done only thing was that the dashing across the boulders scattered outside the gate made his cloak and his white, leather bracers all muddy.

"Oh well, I'm a bit bound to get messy." Silent Wind said as the rain was still making a pittering sound and crashing thunder. Silent Wind made a hoof gesture that ordered Lily Blade to come over and inside. Lily nodded and ran over to Silent Wind and they both opened the gate to the Silentblade Castle.

As they both went into the Silentblade Castle, they saw the entrance was a circle floor with a left hallway, an right hallway and a upper hallway leading straight and looked at the pictures of former Silentblade leaders and flags of the symbols of the Silentblades. They all saw that the chandeliers were lit and the place was quite warm and they could already feel the wetness of their cloaks drying already. But they then heard noises of running hooves and both of them grunted in question of what the noise was. Then, they saw three Silentblades looked at them with widened eyes come from the upper hallway.

"It's them! get them!" One of the Silentblades said as they drew their swords and twin daggers with their magic and mouths.

"Here we go." Silent Wind said as he flew up slightly from the ground and drew his hidden blades and charged at two of them and tackled them which brought them down along with Silent Wind far away from Lily Blade.

The other one went after Lily Blade, He threw one of his daggers at Lily and Lily reflected it with a barrier. She grabbed it and threw it back. The Silentblade member managed to dodge it and looked at it for a moment and looked back where Lily Blade was and she was still there. He then heard a falling sound on top and saw a large, conjured hammer about to hammer him but it was too late, he was too slow to dodge it and was crushed by it. Lily then stopped making her horn glow and the hammer she made vanished. She went over to the Silentblade she had crushed and saw that he was dead. Lily Blade wiped her forehead in relief. She then heard a hurling, sharp sound behind her and jumped out of the way. When she looked at the wall she was facing, she saw a large blade mark on it. She looked to the right hallway and saw one of the Advisors, Deadly Rose walk forward and into the circle floor with her violin and with just her hooves. Lily Blade looked to her left and faced at the upper hallway and frowned.

"Look's like I got my own battle, sorry.. Silent Wind."

Silent Wind was standing before two Silentblades. One in front of him and one behind him. He looked back and forth at the two and saw that the one behind him was charging at him. Silent Wind quickly turned behind him and block the Silentblade's attack with one of his hidden blades and punched him in the nose which made the Silentblade drop his sword. Silent Wind then pushed him on the ground on his back. Silent Wind then turned at the other Silentblade who was charging at him also and block his attempt to stab Silent Wind. Silent Wind then punch his chin, causing him to release the sword in his mouth and Silent Wind flew up and grabbed it with his mouth. Silent Wind then drew one of his hidden blades and began to stab the disarmed Silentblade in the chest multiple times before giving a swipe across his throat, causing him to fall down and bleed to death. Silent Wind looked back at the downed Silentblade and threw the sword in his mouth at his chest and it stabbed him in the heart which dealt an instant death. Silent Wind looked back at the one who had his throat slashed and saw that he was already dead. Silent Wind chuckled and looked back at the circle floor he was recently in and saw that Lily was fighting somepony. He wanted to help her but Silent Wind heard a voice behind him.

"Nice meeting you here, Nephew." It was Magicius' voice.

Silent Wind's eyes quickly turned into his Shade-Silentblade eyes as heard the voice and felt something come over him. He turned around him and saw his uncle, once again and he swore he remembered that all the chandeliers were lit in the hallway he was in. He then heard a creaking noise behind him and saw a big stone wall behind him, separating him and Lily Blade. He looked back at his uncle and laughed.

"Hahahahaha!! You're pretty eager to die too." Silent Wind roared.

Magicius began to feel Silent Wind's aura with a aura touch magic spell and felt that his aura was becoming cruel and cold by seconds. He looked at two of the dead Silentblades and saw that they were all brutally murdered. He then looked at Silent Wind who was looking at him with a sinister smile and a dark glare. Silent Wind began to chuckle. Shade began to talk to Silent Wind within his mind but no words could get into Silent Wind.

"Silent Wind! Keep a clear mind, don't let your wants get to you!!" Shade yelled within his mind.

Silent Wind was no longer listening and in control of his own actions, he had already felt the feeling of killing and he want to do it more. Without a clear mind, all he wanted to do was kill. Magicius noticed his bloodlust inside him and saw that he had finally awakened his need for blood.

"The colt is already consumed by his own needs. This will be hard to tame him so I will have to use my special ability also!" Magicius began to cast his magic and doused out the flames that had lit the hallways and it was slightly dark now but the sides were completely dark.

Silent Wind began to form into one of his familiar forms and flapped his bat-like wings and grinning with his sharp, long teeth and glared at Magicius with his glowing Shade-Silentblade eyes that were now black and red. Magicius began to control all shadows around him and made two of the dead Silentblades into shadow imps. He began to make shadows out of spiked ropes and hurled then at Silent Wind. Silent Wind reacted by charging straight-forward with an amazing speed which surpassed Rainbow Dash's speed and threw a fireball at Magicius but was shortened by one of the Shadow imps. One of the shadow imps ran at Silent Wind and began to materialize a spearhead out of it's shadow matter and thrusted at Silent Wind but Silent Wind dodged it's attacks and hitted it with his wing. For a moment, the shadow imp stood still for a moment and then it's head fell off. Magicius then saw that Silent Wind was given razor-sharp edged wings by Shade's powers. Silent Wind continued to charge at Magicius.

"The power of Shade is indeed a formidable force but I will win this!" Magicius thought and dived a small shadow rope into the last Shadow imp and the other Shadow imp ran at Silent Wind and began to get larger as Silent Wind got closer. The imp managed to stop Silent Wind with a grab but to Silent Wind, it was no use. Silent Wind putted his hooves against the shadow imp and drew his hidden blades which penetrated the imp and causing the imp to poofen up. Silent Wind saw a large explosion and saw shadow bindings going all over him which immobilized him and preventing him from doing anything. Magicius began to move forward Silent Wind and approached him.

"You.. are no longer yourself. You merely are a ball of power lust. And that there is why you. Will. Be. Captured." Magicius said.

Magicius made a quick punch across Silent Wind's face causing him to grunt in pain. Silent Wind looked down for a second and looked back up at Magicius. He smiled and laughed.

"Once I get out of here, you're dead. Besides.. you're lamer than me." Silent Wind growled.

Magicius began made a small 'hmph' at Silent Wind and walked back. Silent Wind began to move and try to get out of the shadow bindings that held him throughout his whole body. He then felt something being drained, he then saw that the bindings were draining his energy and willpower. He beginning to feel weak, very weak. Magicius looked back and raised his right hoof up. Silent Wind looked at his raised hoof.

"You shouldn't say that.. if you're the one who is tied up. Your defeat was inevitable and even with the powers of Shade, you cannot even beat your dear Uncle. That there.. is lame." And with that, Magicius slammed down his raised hoof and Silent Wind saw seven solid shadow spikes float in the air.

"I already know you won't come quietly so I'll put you in the state of near-death." Magicius pointed his hoof at Silent Wind and the solid shadow spikes obeyed by being hurled at Silent Wind. Silent Wind closed his eyes as he thought of everything that everypony had told him. At that moment, the world froze for a moment as Silent Wind thought of the things that so many different ponies had told him throughout his time.

He thought of Princess Celestia, Shining Armor, His mother, his brother, Lily Blade, and most of all, Twilight.

"I'm so sorry.. everypony.. for everything."

Silent Wind took a sigh and prepared for the fate that he could not defy itself. But then he began to heard voices that he was told from the ponies that believed and had the utmost faith in him.

The Second Awakening

Chapter Eighteen: The Second Awakening

Silent Wind heard of the things that so many ponies had told him. He smiled slightly as he heard everypony's voice within his mind. He heard echos but he could clearly hear them. The first voice hitted him with a slight roar, he chuckled as he knew it was Princess Celestia's.

"It is you who carries the fate of Equestria in your hooves!" Princess Celestia's voice echoed.

And then, he began to hear Shining Armor's voice. He wondered what He had said to him before everything that had happened to him including till now.

..we'll finish this in no time." Shining Armor's voice echoed also.

He then heard Twilight, the Mare he loved so much. Silent Wind wondered what her voice was since he was very hopeless now. But he heard the voice once and couldn't hear it well at first and then he heard it again, repeating over and over. He began to struggle to get the shadow bindings that were on him

"I Love you." Twilight's voice echoed.

Magicius' eyes went wide as he saw a large seal on the ground and saw a small, white sphere shield surround Silent Wind and the shadow bindings that had held Silent Wind were gone and Silent Wind began to rise up. The Shadow spikes that were hurling at him deflected the moment it hitted the sphere shield around Silent Wind and began to disappear. Silent Wind looked at his left upper arm and saw the marking tattoo on it glow. He roared as he heard Twilight's voice one more time and all the sudden, there was a large cloud of smoke.

"I Love you."

The cloud of smoke began to disappear and Magicius was getting confused on what had happened. Then he saw Silent Wind and long but skinny figure in yellow Silentblade armor and had a large bow held with it's left hand and a shield on it's right wrist. Silent Wind panted as the white sphere shield around him had began to vanish and saw that he was turning back to normal with the same Azure-blue eyes and Silver coat. Magicius was at the point of frustration and without hesitation, hurled 4 sphere bombs at Silent Wind with his magic, but Silent Wind's guardian simply putted his right hand in front of Silent Wind and it's shield took all of the hits but did nothing against the guardian. Silent Wind looked up to his guardian and one word came to his mind which was of course, it's name.

"Exile." Silent Wind thought and smiled at his guardian.

Silent Wind made an attacking gesture with his hoof and Exile materialized at yellow, solid arrow and putted it on it's bow and drew the string back and aimed at Magicius. Silent Wind went into his Shade form and flew up and drew his hidden blades. Exile then shot the arrow at Magicius and the arrow went at an amazing speed but Magicius was quick enough to make a jump enhancer seal and fly into the air. Magicius looked down at Exile who also was looking at him too but then, Magicius felt a sharp pain within his chest, two sharp pains. He looked down at his chest and saw Silent Wind and his two hidden blades that were inside him. Silent Wind roared as he charged down to the ground with his uncle and slammed him and Magicius was now coughing blood and laying on his back. Silent Wind took out the hidden blades from Magicius and sheathed his hidden blades back into his white, leather bracers. Silent Wind was now looking down at his uncle and began to turn back into his normal features.

"I know that.. you.. must hate.. me for this." Magicius grunted.

Silent Wind sighed and Exile dashed over to his side. Exile made another yellow, solid arrow and aimed it's large bow at Magicius but Silent Wind looked at him and made a halting gesture with his hoof. Exile lowered it's bow and exhaled at hot breath steam. Magicius rised his head slightly at looked at Silent Wind.

"No, I don't blame you. The power I have inside me is tempting and I know if somepony else had it. I'd do the same thing. But there's a lot of thing that you've done and are unforgivable, I'm going to have to put you out of your misery. Still when I was just a colt- no, even now.." Silent Wind began.

Magicius looked at his nephew with half-closed eyes even though Silent Wind couldn't see it, Magcius was clinging to life. Silent Wind sighed and smiled.

"I never hated you! Because in the end, You're a good uncle and I'm happy that I'm your nephew!" Silent Wind said cheerfully.

Magicius' eyes went wide as he heard his words. Magicius then rested his head on the ground and gave a grim smile, showing that even though he fought and tried to capture his own nephew, he still loved his nephew. Magicius coughed softly and tilted his eyes at Silent Wind.

"You're.. a good colt.. now.. you got somepony to stop.. I can't believe that.. I'm saying this.. good luck." Magicius said.

Silent Wind smiled slightly and putted a hoof on his chest and putted a hoof on Magicius' forehead. Magicius grunted as he saw Silent Wind's hoof on his forehead.

"Thank's, Uncle." Silent Wind said.

Silent Wind then felt his uncle's body sink down slowly, indicating that Magicius had died. Silent Wind stood up and was still looking down at his uncle. He held out his left arm and Exile went back into Silent Wind. Silent Wind looked toward the hall and began to walk faster and faster, wanting to meet his father at end of the very long hallway.

Twilight was awakened by a small touch on her shoulder, Her blurry vision began to clear and she looked up at a White stallion, Shining Armor with his full Captain armor but didn't have his helmet on. Shining Armor moved back slightly and Twilight saw the pouring rain outside of the tent. She then remembered about Silent Wind going to the Silentblade Castle and jumped up so fast, Shining Armor was startled.

"Silent Wind!" Twilight yelled as she rised up from the bedroll.

"Twily! What is it!?" Shining Armor yelled.

Twilight began to sweat and looked out in the rain. She quickly looked at her brother and she began to hurl him with questions that Shining Armor couldn't answer so well.

"What time is it?! Why did you wake me up?" Twilight said.

Shining Armor pulled his head back as Twilight said that. But Shining Armor calmly breathed and looked at straight at his own sister.

"I saw you in Silent Wind's bedroll and I didn't see Silent Wind with you so I checked on you and it's only 2AM. Why? " Shining Armor said.

Twilight looked around for a small white Celestial cloak and found one neatly placed near a table in the corner of Silent Wind's tent and wore it and pulled the hood and putted it over her head. Shining Armor grunted in confusion and tilted his head slightly to right. Twilight turned around at Shining Armor and looked him with a serious look.

"Please, I'll tell you everything but you have to come with me." Twilight was about to run and look for Silent Wind. She then remembered about Silent Wind telling her about him going to the Silentblade Castle.

"Hey, Shining Armor? Do you know where the Silentblade Castle is?" Twilight asked.

Shining Armor putted a hoof on his chin and thought for a moment, He then remembered about the Silentblade Castle and then remembered that it was by the left Mountain range. He quickly told Twilight of it's whereabouts and Twilight ran at the cliff and touched Shining Armor who was coming along with her and teleported on the left Mountain range. Twilight began to run till she was at the end of the Mountain range. Shining Armor followed, as he was confused on what was going on.

In the bright circle floor, Lily Blade held a shield against Deadly Rose's conjuring blade attacks with her violin. Each clash making a sharp steel sound. During the Battle against Silent Wind and Magicius, Lily Blade had use most of her attacks at Deadly Rose but nothing had worked. Lily Blade then saw Deadly Rose's hoofs go across the strings of the violin violently and saw a large war hammer swing down on her shield which in the process, repelled her back against the walls with enough force to make her cough out blood. She slid down to the ground and fell on her belly and looked at Deadly Rose who was giving Lily Blade a sinister smile.

"You were always the weakest link, Lily. You were never a match for me. And you had so much faith in Silent Wind, I wonder if Magicius has killed him." Deadly Rose said.

Lily Blade chuckled and Deadly Rose's eyes flickered slightly at Lily Blade who was slightly getting up. Lily Blade panted as she felt pain when she was getting up but stood her ground.

"I was never the weakest link.. Silent Wind.. Silent Wind always believed in Me!" Lily Blade's horn glow uncontrollably, showing that she had one more move up her sleeve. She shot a energy blast at Deadly Rose's violin and shot it out of her hoof and then, Lily Blade made a large sphere around Deadly Rose and panted as she use a lot of willpower on the sphere. Lily Blade then teleported near the now immobilized Deadly Rose and looked at her.

"You're wrong.. I've always done my best and today, I surpass you!" Lily Blade said.

Deadly Rose began to laugh. Lily Blade couldn't hear her laugh very well but she could still hear her say things to her. Lily Blade's eyes flicked as Deadly Rose spoke to her.

"Silent Wind.. told you that didn't he? He always says that to ponies around him. You are a fool." Deadly Rose growled.

Lily Blade closed her eyes and shooked her head. In her mind, She knew that Silent Wind always believed in Lily Blade, even if she did the most poorly during their times together as Silentblades. She turned her back on Deadly Rose and raised one of her arms and putted her hoof in the air and Deadly Rose saw the large spikes on top of her, aiming at the sphere. And gasped before looking at Lily Blade again.

"No, Silent Wind's no fool to me. But you seem like a fool to me." Lily Blade then brought her arm down to the ground and the spikes penetrated the sphere and Deadly Rose gave out a roaring scream of pain before the Spikes began to glow and blew up along with the Sphere. Lily looked back as the smoke disappeared and saw nothing left of Deadly Rose. She sighed and looked down, exhausted.

"Good.." Lily Blade then collapsed as she had severe concussion and exhausted from the willpower she had overused. Her vision began to blacken as her eyelids began to close shut.

"I'm so sorry, Silent Wind. I won't be able to help you.." Lily Blade then passed out from her exhaustion.

After an hour of walking, Silent Wind saw himself looking at a gate. He knew that it was the door to the throne room and did not care to knock. He activated his Shade power and turned into his form that he had been using through his time of battles and made a large wind drill on his left hoof and smashed it into the gate and making a big hole in the gate and made his way in. His red and black Shade-Silentblade eyes glowed as he saw his father on the throne and chuckled.

"That's my seat." Silent Wind said.

Void jumped off the throne and grew out two curved blades from his hoofwrists and chuckled. He was quite surprised that his Advisors could not stop Silent Wind but he did not care. Void always thought of his Advisors as simple pawns to his plans. Void glared at Silent Wind with his right eye and Silent Wind's eyes went wide as he saw the eye looking similar as Discord's eye.

"He took Discord's eye. This is going to be difficult but I have to win this, I must." Silent Wind thought.

Silent Wind flew up slightly off the ground and drew both of his blades and made their length longer by forming his wind around his blades and making the wind the form of his hidden blades and making it more larger and longer. He smiled as his father prepared to charge at him.

"Well.. like they say, save the best for the last!" Silent Wind then charged at Void and Void also charged and flew up, reminding Silent Wind that he is an Alicorn.

Evil Father and Son

Chapter Nineteen: Evil Father and Son

Silent Wind's hidden blade clashed with one of Void's blades that had growed out of his body. Silent Wind sheathed his hidden blades inside his bracers. And breathed heavily and breathed out with a large blowing of wind that was strong enough to slightly push Void back. Void jumped at Silent Wind and Silent Wind reacted at his father and jumped at him too. Silent Wind drew one of his hidden blades and was about to thrust it at his father but it was shortly stopped by another grown blade out of Void. Silent Wind had his left arm parried and was pushing against the steel blade that had came out of Void's body. Silent Wind's eyes went wide as he saw multiple blades come out of his father's body and were all pointed at him. Silent Wind quickly jumped back and floated in the air with only small cuts to his cheeks and forehead, nearly being skewered alive. Silent Wind took a moment to closely look at his father, He then remembered how his father never liked talking formally and he surely never was that good with his ability to grow blades out of his body. Silent Wind wiped his cheek that had blood on it and glared at his father with his red and black Shade-Silentblade eyes.

"You changed a lot, haven't you?" Silent Wind said, sheathing back his left hidden blade into his white, leather bracer.

Void brought back his grown-out blades back into his body. He looked at his shoulder and rubbed his shoulder with right hoof and took off his helmet and threw it aside, Silent Wind began to feel ominous and suspicious, he did not know if it was truly his father but he decided to shrug it off. Void lowered his right hoof and looked at Silent Wind with white and black eyes.

"Indeed I have. I know that you have the power of shade inside of you but that makes no difference, once I take Shade from you, everypony shall know my meaning of Peace." Void said, drawing a blade from his hoofwrist and forming it into a sickle-like form and pointing his bladed hoof at Silent Wind. Silent Wind's eyes flickered and he made a small energy ball from his hoof and gritted his sharp, pointy teeth in anger.

"Quit acting like... you know what peace is!!" Silent Wind roared, he then threw the energy ball at Void and the ball made a shaking explosion that shook the whole castle. As the smoke cleared, Silent Wind's eyes went wide as he saw that his father had grown blades all over his body which acted as a body protector throughout Void's body. As another attempt to hit him, Silent Wind formed a small wind disc and threw it at Void and emitted a sharp noise. Void raised his left hoof and his horn glowed as he made a small portal and the sharp wind disc flew inside the small portal. The portal then closed. Silent Wind was putted a hoof on his forehead in confusion. Silent Wind surely did not remember his father being this sharp, seeing how his father was usually off guard sometimes.

"Sheesh! Dad is all reflexed and too good. Weird." Silent Wind thought.

"Oh, I think this is yours. Here, catch." Void said, the portal appeared again. Silent Wind saw the wind disc come at him with such velocity that Silent Wind was only able to block it with a force field but in the process, the force field broke and Silent Wind flew back into the wall and made a small crack on the wall and fell on the ground with his four hooves. He heard a small glowing noise and looked down, he saw that there were now light blue markings on the round-circle floor, he turned his head to his right and saw that the thrones and pillars were all being lowered into the ground. Void's horn glew and he shot a energy ray at the roof and the roof became completely demolished, allowing the pouring rain to come in the throne room. Silent Wind nearly lost his balance as he felt the ground rise up higher and higher until it stopped. Silent Wind looked down and saw the ends of the ground down were not rising which meant the whole throne room ground wasn't rising. He around and saw that the ground was a tower. A very long tower.

"Hey, what the buck is with this?!" Silent Wind said, confused.

Void did not respond, he raised his right hoof and smiled. His horn began to glow once again and then, a small glow surrounded his raised hoof. Void then slammed down his raised hoof and a large barrier surrounded the two and the ground, preventing anypony from interfering or running away. Silent Wind raised an eyebrow at the markings all over the floor while shaking his head to dry his white hair from his form and licked his long, sharp teeth.

"What's with the markings..?" Silent Wind questioned at Void.

Void chuckled as he heard the question by Silent Wind. Void thought that Silent Wind would understand that the markings were going to be used as a soul seal to take Shade.

"Very simple really, The markings.. will be the key to take Shade out of you but you'll have to stay still and be hurt critically so it seems that I must break you." Void said. Void then grew out two blades out of his hoofwrists and flew at Silent Wind. Silent Wind responded to his charge by drawing both of his hidden blades and flying at his father also. Silent Wind pulled his left arm back and swung his hidden blade at Void's neck but Void ducked down only to see Silent Wind's back left foreleg come up and hit him in the face and propelling him toward the barrier walls, Void soon fell down to the ground, getting up slightly. Silent Wind chuckled in delight, seeing that he laid a hit. Silent Wind flew up the highest he could get and quickly pulled back his wings and flapped them at Void, causing a wind blast on Void and pushing him back into the ground. Silent Wind sheathed his blades back into his bracers and landed on the ground.

"Whew.. now time to end it." Silent Wind said, raising a hoof and pointing it at his father as he was about to cast a energy ray at him. But all the sudden, he felt multiple sharp pains on his chest. He looked to his right and saw his father, hit him with his forearm that had small, but sharp bear claw blades that were now into his flesh. Silent Wind coughed out trickles of blood as he was thrown back and now on the ground, laying on his back. Silent Wind saw that his chest had four clawed wounds. It was serious damage to him but he soon recovered as regeneration factor healed him. But, Void gave him no time to retaliate and rammed him with two blades on his head which impaled Silent Wind's lower torso, causing him to cough out even more blood. Void then took out the blades from Silent Wind's stomach and hopped back, bringing back his horn blades inside of him. Silent Wind shakingly rised up as he looked at his father but eventually, he manages to stand up, with all of his wounds gone.

"Geez.. he's now moving really well.. gah.. who cares how he moves like, I can't lose this!!" Silent Wind charged at Void with a roar. Void smiled, showing the determination of putting Silent Wind to the point of death.

Twilight and Shining Armor who were still amazed by how the rain was still pouring, had finally got to the end of the mountain range. Which was just a dead end, but Shining Armor had already gone through the range and putted his left hoof on Twilight's shoulder and Twilight saw Shining Armor's horn glow. Twilight soon saw herself and her brother in front of Castle which was of course, the Silentblade Castle. Shining Armor walked toward the two dead Silentblades and putted his hoof on one's neck and did the same thing to the other. Shining Armor looked at Twilight and shooked his head, indicating that they were dead.

"Okay then, does that mean we're safe?" Twilight asked.

Shining Armor gave a quick nod and looked toward the entrance behind him. Shining Armor gave a small hoof gesture at Twilight, showing Twilight to follow him. Shining Armor impatiently walked fast and Twilight ran toward the entrance, quickly wanting to get in to get out of the cold rain and to also find Silent Wind. Once the two were inside, Twilight brought down her hood down and shook her head softly. Shining Armor and Twilight walked towards the hallway until they saw a scene of destruction, cracked walls, small trickles of blood on the floor, and a downed Mare that Twilight and Shining Armor who once saw with Silent Wind. Twilight began to run towards Lily Blade, checking if she is fine. Twilight gave a few shakes on Lily Blade's body and Lily Blade's eyes began to slowly open but only had the strength to have half-opened eyes. Lily Blade looked at Twilight and sighed.

"Oh.. looks like.. y'found out where Silent Wind was.. owww.." Lily Blade began to stand up shakingly and rubbed her bleeding head and saw her hoof painted with blood.

"Oh no, you're bleeding! Let me help!" Twilight began to cast a healing spell on Lily Blade's head and the wound on Lily Blade's head began to disappear. Lily Blade thanked Twilight for healing her wound. Meanwhile, Shining Armor saw a large stone wall on the middle hallway which was blocking the way. Shining Armor's horn glew and he shot a large orb at the wall and the wall fell apart into rubble. Shining Armor jumped on the blocks of rubble and looked far away and saw at least three dead Silentblades. He sighed and turned his head at Lily Blade and Twilight.

"Silent Wind must be this way, we have to go. It must be at least 4AM right now." Shining Armor ran on ahead. Lily Blade chuckled and ran toward the middle hallway and Twilight followed. The three hoped that Silent Wind had things done on his hoofs and hope that he hasn't fallen yet.

Silent Wind flew up and blew out a gout of flame from his mouth at his father, but it did nothing to stop him. Void grew a blade out of his body and shot it at Silent Wind's left part of his chest but Silent Wind managed to dodge it but at the last moment, he felt a blunt force at his neck and felt it push him down. Void managed to fly up and hit him down to the ground. Void then began to curl up into a ball while Silent Wind tried to get up from the hard hit he was hit by. Void roared as he stood in a roared position and every blade began to come out throughout his whole body which covered the ground and also hitting Silent Wind multiple times. Void sighed in relief as every blade began to go back within his body. Silent Wind grunted in pain as he was hit in his forelimbs, torso and multiple cuts on his face. He managed to regenerate and heal several wounds before turning back into his normal state, having blue-azure eyes, black mane, and a Silver coat. Silent Wind attempted to get up but fell back down, too damaged to rise up now. Void looked over him with his usual white and black eyes.

"It looks like you can no longer move. This to me, is no surprise. You may have stopped me from opening the portal to the Midnight realm back when you betrayed the Silentblades, but you cannot even stop me from getting you. Now, you're all mine now." Void reached out his hoof out to Silent Wind but all the sudden, a large light comes out from Silent Wind's chest and completely blinded the two.

The light does not lower down but Silent Wind soon sees himself and in some kind of bright and white, clear realm. He soon hears a light noise behind him as if somepony is walking toward him. Silent Wind quickly turns around and sees Void but now, he had azure-blue eyes. Silent Wind pauses and becomes completely confused. Void soon laughs.

"Hey kiddo, how're you doing? I managed to finally get inside your mind and talk with ya." Void said.

Silent Wind's eyes go wide as he hears the personality change completely. He recognizes the voice and bright attitude of his father and grimly smiles but is slightly unsure if it is truly his father or is it just a mimicking joke.

The Sacrifice for a Friend

Final Chapter: The Sacrifice for a Friend

Silent Wind scratched his head with his hoof in complete confusion and looking at his father as if he had never met him. Void coughed and rubbed the back of his head with a small hint of embarrassment. Silent Wind moved closer to Void so that he could see if it was his father.

"You're.. not evil are you?!" Silent Wind said, preparing to draw his left hidden blade.

Void made a small smile and shook his head. Silent Wind saw his smile and his eyes went wide and now, he was just standing there, unable to say anything. Void looked at Silent Wind who shaking.

"I'm really sorry to put you through all of this, kiddo. I'm real sorry." Void apologized.

Silent Wind threw himself and his foreleg arms around Void and hugged him tightly, relieved that it was his own real father. Void closed his eyes and grinned for his now, happy son. Silent Wind began to cry and teardrops fell on his father's back.

"It's okay.. I understand everything.." Silent Wind stuttered, pulling back and looking down, wiping his tears from his eyes. Silent Wind then looked back up at his father, wanting to have answers from his questions to his father.

"I-I need to know.. who is out there, I know it isn't you so please tell me!" Silent Wind begged. Void nodded to his request and wiped his mouth with his right hoof. Then he began to tell Silent Wind who it was and how it even got inside of Void.

"Alright then.. but first, do you remember the deepest part of the castle, the altar room?" Void asked.

Silent Wind indeed remembered that the room had a sealed coffin with seal tetragrams all over. He knew that everypony including the Silentblades were forbidden from there since there was a box there that held a powerful entity. An entity that was very evil and dark but Silent Wind knew that the secret was to be kept away from inferior members who weren't Silentblade blood-related. Unfortunately, Silent Wind didn't know that it was the one that had tried to turn the Silentblades as a group of demons and it's name since it had been three years after he had left the Silentblades.

"Uh.. yeah. Why? I really don't remember a lot about it now." Silent Wind said.

"Well, I am sure you do know that it holds a dark entity in there but the thing is that, The leaders and their husbands or wives only knew that the entity is called Deathmoon, a real ancient and powerful demon back in the ol' days and he's the one who really started the Silentblades, he got sealed because he wanted to turn the Silentblades into a group of demons but it looks like Shadow Moon found out and sealed him within the sealed coffin." Void explained.

Silent Wind coughed and walked back slightly in confusion. He now knew who he was actually fighting but, he didn't know how Deathmoon managed to completely possess his father. Silent Wind turned back toward Void and asked him how Deathmoon managed to escape and possess him.

"Thanks for telling me the name and a little history, but.. how did he even escape and possess you in the first place?!" Silent Wind asking Void.

Void knew that Silent Wind would ask that question. Void lowered his head and sighed, he then raised up his head up again to answer his son.

"The day that Deathmoon was sealed was on Winter's Rise of the 16th. And every time of it's anniversary, the Seal that was holding Deathmoon would weaken and if it wasn't strengthened again, would break. I was a too late to go seal it and when I went to the altar room, the sealing orb was empty. At that moment, I lowered my guard and Deathmoon took that opportunity to take my body, From there, he mimicked me and tricked everypony to think that it was actually me. I could still see from my eyes but I for some reason, was not in my own actions. I'm glad that you left since he was trying to kill you and Silent Whisper. I'm a bit sad that Silent Whisper didn't make it but I'm happy also that you made it." Void said, putting a hoof on Silent Wind's head and then putting down his raised hoof back down.

"Thank's, Dad. But now.. I have to fight him. I don't have to have a family talk with you because, the fate of Equestria lies on my hooves and I tend to make that fate into prosperity!" Silent Wind said, smiling at his father and his father smiled back.

"Alright then, but if you should know, I have some of my aura in me and it's not much use to me so.." Void putted a hoof on Silent Wind's chest and Silent Wind began to glow white and became frightened when he saw a white blade come out of his upper left foreleg arm. Void laughed.

"Looks like you can't control it so well, don't worry. You'll know how to do it in no time, just remember that your old man gave you it." Void said.

Silent Wind smiled and felt something inside of him that just wanted to say something. He breathed out of his nostrils heavily and rubbed his head.

"Dad?" Silent Wind began.

Void looked at him with a questioning look, wanting to know what Silent Wind was trying to say to him before he leaves Silent Wind.

"Thank you so much for being my dad!" Silent Wind said, tearing up but still smiling.

Void chuckled and began to slowly vanish. Silent Wind broke the smile and his smile was replaced with a surprising look on his face.

"Me too kiddo. Go kick Deathmoon's ass for me and for all of the Silentblades." Void said before vanishing. Silent Wind began to vanish also, showing that he was going back into the real world and out of the bright, white realm.

Shining Armor managed to get to the end of the hallway only to see a destroyed gate. Twilight and Lily Blade also caught up and all of them went inside the throne room but only managed to walk around the outer edges of the circle floor since the floor had made a large tower. Twilight brought up her hood to cover herself from the rain and Lily Blade did the same thing with her slightly-tattered Silentblade red-black robes. Lily Blade and the others did not know what was going on and Lily Blade could only bring up one thing to the others. Lily Blade looked at the others. Twilight and Shining Armor looked back at Lily Blade.

"From the looks of this, Silent Wind is fighting his father right now!" Lily predicted.

Twilight's eyes went wide as she heard Lily Blade's hypothesis on what was happening. Twilight tilted her head up and looked at the top of the risen tower. She hoped that Silent Wind was done by now and not hurt or worst, captured. Shining Armor thought of what to do now and closed his eyes. Lily Blade was still looking up and saw the large barrier around the top of the tower and then, she saw a pink glow from Shining Armor's horn. Lily Blade approached Shining Armor, wondering what could Shining Armor be doing right now.

"Hey, what're you doing?!" Lily Blade asked.

"I am going to help Silent Wind!" Shining Armor said. Shining Armor was about to teleport but all the sudden his aura pushed him back and the teleportation spell failed. Shining Armor, who was down was surprised and confused why the spell negated and did not work.

"Wh-What?!" Shining Armor said, rubbing his head that hitted first on the floor. At that point, Shining Armor somewhat regretted not wearing his helmet. Lily Blade examined the black barrier as the pouring rain drops fell onto her face.

"That's a really rare barrier. It's a seventh-dimension barrier seal. I only know two who know it and that's Celestia and Tarelina Mephalia." Lily said.

Twilight turned her head at Lily Blade the moment she heard of the seventh-dimension barrier. It was a very powerful seal spell made by Tarelina Mephalia, the maker of so many seals. The seventh-dimension barrier prevents anypony from getting in, know that it's unbreakable and blocks out teleportation spells. Twilight knew that it could only be dispelled by the caster's death or will to release it but now, they all knew all they could do know is wait.

As the brightness inside the barrier dimmed down, Deathmoon looked down, no longer seeing a downed Silent Wind. He heard a buzzing noise behind him and saw Silent Wind, who was much more different than before. Silent Wind saw Deathmoon in front of him and look down to see he was in his Shade form again but instead of his coat being purple, he saw that it was white, like Celestia's coat. He looked at his left hoof and forgot the somewhat-large feeling on top of his head. He saw he was wearing a big helmet with large, black horns and very rigid with outward claws across it's surface and he also managed to see some purple color on his helmet also. He looked down on his chest and back and saw his whole body covered in a very smooth armor. The only part he saw that was very spiked was his shoulder pads. He then realized that he had was appeared to be the Armor of Shade but he wasn't sure.

"Shade? Is this you?" Silent Wind said within his mind.

"Apparently, yes. You managed to mature your usage of my powers and was able to get the most powerful part of me. Nice job." Shade replied.

Silent Wind felt happy that he managed to mature his powers of Shade's but even more, He felt powerful, very powerful. He saw the black aura around him and began to move the aura around his hand with his own will and flinched, surprised to know he can manipulate the aura around him. Deathmoon, surprised could not believe Silent Wind has become fine once again and standing. Deathmoon grunted in anger but soon calmed himself down.

"Interesting, you've managed to rise back up and fight me once again." Deathmoon said.

Silent Wind chuckled at Deathmoon, showing that he already knows that it is not his father who he his fighting, just a monster in his image.

"You can stop acting stupid now, I know you're nothing but a image of my dad." Silent Wind said.

Deathmoon, who wasn't surprised began to grow out a curved blade out the back of his wrist and chuckled at Silent Wind.

"So, you know that it isn't me. Good, I was beginning to get bored of playing as your father." Deathmoon admitted.

Silent Wind raised up one of his hooves and pointed at it at Deathmoon. He then saw the small slim slots at the end of his gauntlets, drew out of his hidden blades and flew up slightly. He then closed his eyes for a moment and rubbed his neck which was also covered with armor up to the end of his neck and then open his eyes and saw his mouth and nose become covered in a black steel-hard lower face mask, only leaving his black-red Silentblade-Shade eyes visible that were now glowing bright red. Deathmoon felt a sharp pain on his chest and looked down to see Silent Wind's hidden blade within his body. Silent Wind, still staring at him brought back his mask, revealing his opening mouth which Silent Wind was beginning to open it slightly wider until a large yellow light appeared within his mouth and a large energy lazer blast bursting out of his mouth and hitted Deathmoon, propelling him back. Without a rest, Silent Wind quickly dashed at the speed of light at Deathmoon, stabbing one of his hidden blades into him and managed to grow out several white blades out of the front of his body, all of them dived into Deathmoon's body. Deathmoon grew out blades also, in attempt to repel Silent Wind away from him and managed to push him away but that is what his blades exactly did. The moment the blades touched Silent Wind, it was too weak to penetrate the armor around his body and the solid aura around his whole body, merely making dents. Silent Wind flew back slowly, looked down and brought his grown-out blades back within his body and sheathing his hidden blades. Once Silent Wind landed on the ground with a small slide, his steel mask was beginning to come back together and covering his face except his eyes once again. He then saw Deathmoon regenerate spontaneously. Silent Wind who was surprised, flickered his eyelids in surprise.

"It seems that nopony tells stupid ponies like you that evil manifestations like me are known to be immortal. I am a demon immortal after all." Deathmoon explained.

Silent Wind then realized that fighting would be meaningless, Silent Wind thought of what to do now and looked at his raised bat-skinned-like wings and lowered them down. He then heard Shade's voice within his mind.

"Great, fighting an immortal would be just wasting our breath and energy. There's only one way to do this but I don't know if you're up to it, Silent Wind.." Shade said.

"Fine, what is it? I hope it's good." Silent Wind hoped.

Shade felt somewhat-disappointed that what he was about to say was not going to be good in a way. Shade sighed slightly and told Silent Wind.

"It is a certain ability that only I can use so since you have my powers, you can use it. It's call Midnight soul banish, it's very simple but isn't good in any way you think. It'll make you able to take one's soul and banish it to the Midnight realm which I am sure the Silentblades are familiar with but in return to open the realm, you'll have to sacrifice your soul. Simple as that. You should first make a grappling claw with your aura and take out your soul first so you can make the portal to the Midnight realm and don't worry, you won't die there. Yet." Shade explained.

Silent Wind shook at the spell Shade had told him, he didn't want to die, not now. He thought about Twilight for a moment and Equestria. He would be able to banish Deathmoon to the Midnight realm seeing how he was immortal but he would have to sacrifice his own life to ensure the greater good of Equestria's future. He closed his eyes for a moment and made up his decision, he would sacrifice his own life to help Equestria. He indeed felt horrid for Twilight, as he would no longer be there for her but with a grim smile under his steel mask, He hoped that one day she would find somepony that would love her as much as he did. Silent Wind grew two pointing blades from his shoulder and pulled himself back to gain more speed toward Deathmoon.

"Please hurry, I am getting bored." Deathmoon yawned.

Silent Wind then propelled himself at Deathmoon with an amazing speed to where Deathmoon saw a mere shadow for a moment and saw Silent Wind under him with both grown blades inside of him and him pushed against the barrier walls, not feeling a thing. Silent Wind's eyes glew much bigger as he made a conjured claw around his left hoof out of his white aura that was surrounding his whole body and called forth Shade to cast the soul banishing spell.

"Shade, ready that spell!" Silent Wind yelled within his mind.

"Really? Alright!!" Shade said.

Silent Wind looked at his conjured grappling claw and saw five magical spiked hooks around the fingers of the claws and Silent Wind knew he would have to take out his own soul. As Silent Wind's grown blades were still in Deathmoon, he quickly dived his grappling claw into him and the claw went right threw his body and in pain, took out his own soul which was a bright, blue ball of a sparkling light and threw it in the air, making a purple portal which emitted demon-like screams. Deathmoon recognized that portal and turned his head at Silent Wind.

"Wh-What in Equestria do you think you are doing?!!" Deathmoon yelled.

"What's it... look like.. I'm doing!?" Silent Wind grunted, coughing out blood.

Silent Wind then pulled his claw back and it went inside Deathmoon without a sudden stop. Silent Wind grunted as he pulled hardly on Deathmoon's soul as his soul was fighting back to not be taken out.

"I see! you are trying to banish my soul to the Midnight realm for eternity. That will never happen!!" Deathmoon roared, as he held onto Silent Wind's arm inside of his body. Silent Wind was pulling as hard as he can but it was only slightly moving.

"Come on!!" Silent Wind pulled harder.

Silent Wind drew his right hidden blade and dived it into Deathmoon's chest. Deathmoon grunted as he felt the steel dive into his body. Silent Wind drew the blade more deeper into his body. He saw his left hoof come out of Deathmoon's body more and more.

"I will happen because.." Silent Wind began.

"I'm going to make it happen!!" Silent Wind roared. And with that, Silent Wind pulled the hardest he could and also took his left hidden blade out and sheathed it back into his bracers. Finally, he managed to take out his soul, falling on the ground with Deathmoon's soul within his grappling claw. He looked at the body that Deathmoon once held and saw that it was evaporating, as if it was trying to rid of the remains. Once the body vanished, Silent Wind walked toward the portal and threw his soul within the portal and then the portal closed. Silent Wind fell down on the ground, near death. He then saw the barrier around him vanish and felt the pouring rain on his right cheek.

"Dear Celestia, I can barely feel my nerves and I can't think so well now.. I'm about to die.. I-I-I am so sorry, Twilight.." Silent Wind thought in his mind.

"Look's like you're about to die, Well, we went out with a blast right?" Shade said.

Silent Wind chuckled. Despite about being almost dead, Silent Wind smiled and thought of Twilight and all of the ponies of Equestria. In the end, he felt that dying was the saddest and worst thing that could happen to him. But at that same time, he felt happy also, seeing that he protected Equestria and most of all, protected the mare he loved. Silent Wind breathed his last breath and died with Twilight as his last thought. As he died, his whole body turned back to normal, with his white, tattered cloak, white, leather bracers, and his wet bandages around his wrists.

Shade was not dead but now forever in a dead body that can no longer use his powers. He sat down on his tower which was within his realm within Silent Wind's mind and chuckled.

"An eternal time here, well I guess it's suiting for a monster pony like me." Shade said and closed his eyes.

Shining Armor sat against the walls of outer floors and looked up for a moment he saw that the barrier was gone. Twilight was looking up the whole time while Lily Blade talked to her. Shining Armor ran over to the two and informed them that the barrier was gone.

"Hey! the barrier is gone!" Shining Armor said, shaking his head to get the rain out of his mane.

Twilight and Lily Blade looked up and saw that the barrier was gone and the red markings all over the tower was gone. They then looked back at Shining Armor and nodded, knowing that they all knew what to do. All of their horns glew and they spontaneously teleported at the risen floor which was a tower. They quickly managed to get to the top and all of them looked around for a moment and did not see Void anywhere.

"This is great! Where's Silent Wind, I want to-" Twilight was interrupted when she saw the lifeless body of Silent Wind. Lily Blade saw Silent Wind also and ran over to him to check on him. Shining Armor ran and standed by Twilight, putting a hoof on her shoulder. Lily Blade putted one of her hooves on Silent Wind's neck to check his pulse. There was no pulse. Nothing. Lily Blade frowned and went over to Twilight and Shining Armor and simply shook her head slowly and calmly. Twilight felt her world freeze and felt as if something had torn her heart out from her chest. She broke down in tears, thought it was hard to see if she was crying, as the rain was still pouring.

"N-No..." Twilight sobbed. Shining Armor sat down with her and hugged her, trying to make her feel better. Lily Blade closed her eyes for a moment.

"This Mare.. really did love Silent Wind." Lily Blade thought, looking back at Twilight who was still sobbing. Twilight broke her hug with her brother and walked over to Silent Wind who was now dead. She sat by his body, and streached out her forelegs and hugged him around his head and laid her head on top of Silent Wind's, sobbing softly.

Lily Blade sighed and walked toward Silent Wind and sat down along with Twilight and her horn glew crazily. Twilight was startled but still held Silent Wind in her arms. Lily looked toward Twilight.

"Let him go, I.. am going to bring him back..!" Lily exclaimed.

Twilight's eyes widened as she heard Lily say that she was about to bring Silent Wind back. Twilight released her grip on Silent Wind and slowly laid his body on the ground and stepped back. Lily Blade brought her left hoof up and began to put all of her orange aura onto her hooves and she slowly lowered them and laid them on Silent Wind's body. She walked back slowly and at that point, Twilight realized that Lily Blade was trying to breathe life into Silent Wind. Lily Blade began to breathe heavily. Twilight and Shining Armor noticed.

"Are- Are you okay?" Shining Armor said, moving closer toward Lily Blade.

Lily Blade grunted, as she felt her own life force be drained more and more. Though she kept her conscience intact and was still trying to resurrect Silent Wind. Twilight walked toward her and looked at her. Lily Blade smiled, despite her feeling sick.

"You.. Twilight Sparkle.. right?" Lily huffed.

Twilight nodded to her answer as she had her eyes and face facing toward Lily Blade's hooves on Silent Wind's side of his body.

"You.. better be right for Silent Wind, he really means a lot t'me and Silent Whisper. Just keep him happy and we'll all be happy. I couldn't make him happy, not even his own brother could make him so happy. You.. keep him smiling for.. us." Lily Blade said to Twilight.

Twilight nodded and saw Lily Blade's head fall down slowly. Shining Armor quickly ran over to Lily Blade and standed in front of her so that her body wouldn't fall on the ground. Twilight turned her head at Silent Wind as his body began to slowly get wetter. In Silent Wind's mind, he saw himself in a dark screen, unable to see anything within. He then sees a bright light that is becoming more and more brighter until he sees a small purple figure. His vision begins to focus on the figure and all the sudden, he sees himself on the ground inside the throne room. Silent Wind turns his head left and right to see where he is and sees that the risen ground that was once a tower was now simply the ground now. He looked up to the destroyed ceiling and saw that the rain was beginning to stop and the sun was beginning to rise but the sky was still slightly orange in his eyes. Silent Wind rised his head up slightly and grunted.

"Ow.. My body is so stiff." Silent Wind grunted more as he stood up shakingly. Then all the sudden, he soon sees Twilight hurl herself at him, putting her arms around him. Silent Wind's eyes widen as he realizes Twilight was looking for him. He lowers his eyelids and slowly hugs back Twilight. As he laid his head on Twilight's shoulder, he saw Lily Blade sprawled on the ground, Shining Armor was checking her and saw that she was dead. Silent Wind broke the hug and gave Twilight a quick kiss before running over to Lily Blade to check her also but stopped as he saw that he was alive and realized what Lily Blade had done. He slowly walked over to her and Shining Armor who was standing by her.

"It.. looks like she did it." Silent Wind said. Shining Armor looked at him with a questioning look and Twilight ran over to Silent Wind, wondering what he meant.

"Wh-What do you mean?" Twilight asked.

Silent Wind turned his head toward Twilight and sighed. He knew what Lily Blade had used to resurrect him since he helped Lily Blade how to do it.

"It's a spell called Soul Sacrifice Resurrection. It's merely a spell to sacrifice all of your aura and soul to resurrect somepony. Not much know how to use it or have ever used it. I guess.. Lily thought my life meant more than hers. You foolish Mare..." Silent Wind said, shaking his head slowly.

"Well, I will bury her at-" Shining Armor was cut off by Silent Wind, who interrupted him with a 'no' and Silent Wind walked toward him more closer. Silent Wind wanted to bury her somewhere else.

"I'd like to bury her somewhere else. That's all I ask for, Armor." Silent Wind begged.

Shining Armor nodded and made a hoof gesture towards Twilight, telling Twilight to follow him. Twilight ran up to Shining Armor and they both walked ahead of Silent Wind. Silent Wind ducked his head under Lily Blade and putted her body on top of his back and he walked slightly faster to catch up with both of them.

As they were near the entrance of the Silentblade Castle, they heard lots of muttering and talking outside even if the entrance was closed. They walked more quicker as they heard them. Shining Armor opened the entrance gate with his magic and as the brightness outside dimmed, they saw Princess Celestia, Princess Cadance, and the rest of the Mane Six. They then heard cheering. Shining Armor and Twilight ran toward the cliff that was facing the Everfree forest which was slightly destroyed by the battles. As they saw the fields of the forest, they saw the enormous, mixed army of Royal Guards, Rebel Soldiers from Golden Shot, and the University mages. Silent Wind walked by Twilight and smiled but then had a questioning look on his face and turned his head back to look at Princess Celestia.

"Hey, what happened to the rest of the Silentblades?" Silent Wind said.

"We managed to defeat them overnight with a large raid, the Silentblades that are left have scattered and don't you worry, We will try to find all of them." Princess Celestia said.

Twilight sighed in relief, seeing that it was finally done. Shining Armor went over to Princess Cadance and hugged her, glad knowing that she was fine. Silent Wind dropped Lily Blade's body slowly on the dusty rock ground and looked over slightly to the south and remembered the so-called abandoned cave which was actually their hideout to simply have conversations privately. Silent Wind then sneezed, he cursed under his breath, seeing that he now had a cold. Twilight walked over to Princess Celestia, wanting to know how she found the spot.

"Princess, how did you find this spot?" Twilight said.

Princess Celestia smirked and chuckled at Twilight's question. Twilight bended her right foreleg and raised an eyebrow at her teacher in confusion.

"I saw both you and Shining Armor walk to the Castle with my telescope from my Kingdom. I saw how you teleported there and I came along and so did Princess Cadance including your friends." Princess Celestia said.

Twilight's friends ran over to her and tackled her with hugs. They were all happy that Twilight wasn't hurt since she was a great friend. They soon broke their group hug and Twilight then got hurled with questions.

"Hey, Egghead? You're not hurt, are ya?" Rainbow Dash questioned.

"Oh dear goodness.., a-are you okay, Twilight?" Fluttershy said.

"Y'seem fine t'me." Applejack checked Twilight a bit more before simply standing by her.

"Darling, you look filthy! You should clean yourself up once you get home!" Rarity exclaimed.

"Twilight!, lets throw a party to celebrate our win, can we!? can we?!" Pinkie Pie yelled, hopping up and down.

Twilight nodded at her friends and tilted her head at Silent Wind who was looking at her with a smile. Silent Wind rubbed the back of his head with a nervous feeling inside of him. He moved closer toward Twilight and her friends decided to move out of the way and walked away from the two.

"Well, It's over now." Silent Wind said. He then locked his lips with Twilight's. Twilight returned the kiss by pushing her lips also. They soon broke the kiss and Silent Wind had a shocked face.

"Uh oh."

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

Silent Wind bit his lip and coughed but cover it with his left hoof. He accidentally forgot that he had the cold from the rain that was pouring during the night.

"I..uh..had a cold. Sorry." Silent Wind grinned, trying to keep things nice.

Twilight kissed Silent Wind's forehead and instead of being slightly upset, she simply kept her smile. She still remembered how Lily Blade told her to make Silent Wind happy, no matter how bad things would get between both of them.

"It's okay, I'm sure I'd get a cold sooner or later." Twilight laughed and so did her friends including Silent Wind. Silent Wind looked back at Lily Blade's body and almost forgot something he had to do.

"Well, I'll see you back at Ponyville. There's something I gotta do, gotta go bury somepony." Silent Wind said. Before he could go get Lily Blade's body that was on Shining Armor's back, he went toward Princess Celestia who was at the cliff, looking at her army who have triumphed. Princess Celestia looked to her left and saw Silent Wind bow in front of her. Princess Celestia took his chin and brought him up.

"I am honored to see you bow in front of me but.. It seems that you have done something that nopony, not even I could do. I can only show My gratitude and everypony's gratitude by doing this." Princess Celestia said. Silent Wind did not understand what she had meant until he saw Princess Celestia bow in front of him and so did the crowd of soldiers even Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, and the Mane Six. Silent Wind chuckled as he felt slightly embarrassed.

"Hahaha.. thanks but, I really thank you for helping me find where I really belong. Thank you and now, I have to bury somepony. I'll be back." Silent Wind said before going toward Shining Armor to get Lily Blade's body. As he had Lily Blade's body on his back, he flew towards the cave that he once went to as a young stallion with Lily Blade and his brother, Silent Whisper. Princess Celestia and everypony raised their heads up and looked at Silent Wind who was moving away from them.

"It seems that even Assassin's can change. Silent Wind, I have quite good feeling for your future."

Epilogue: Three Weeks Later

Silent Wind sometimes went to the cave to look at the made grave he made for his friend, Lily Blade and also looked at the grave he also made for his brother a long time ago. Silent Wind walked toward the wooden cross over her grave which also had her Silentblade cloak also. He smiled but it was fragile.

"Well, everything is great now. Just like both of you always wanted. I decided not to make the Silentblades move on anymore so I guess it's over. I'm real happy that you both sacrificed both of your lives to make sure that I lived. And knowing that, I'm a bit happy. So yeah.. anyways, I'm just here to say a few things." Silent Wind sighed to get more breath.

"Lily, I'm glad I knew you. I know we really didn't get along on day one and I'm a bit sorry 'bout that but I really thank you for sacrificing your own life just so that I could live on. I now know that you really did care about me, I guess you can say that If I wasn't out of the Silentblades, I'd be your coltfriend for sure. And don't fret.." Silent Wind began, he found a small Lilium flower and picked it up and dropped it on Lily's grave.

"..You've bloomed into a great Lilium!"

Silent Wind then looked at Silent Whisper's grave that he too made after he escaped from the Castle years ago. He touched his wooden cross that also had his sickle dangling around it. His saw his sickle and saw that it still had a dark steel sparkle to it and it also still had the brownish bandages around it's handle. He looked at the long chain that ended with a single shackle and then, he looked back at Silent Whisper's grave.

"I-uh.. don't know what to really say.. hah.. I really want to just say.. thank's bro, for helping me and most of all, taking care of me during my time as a Silentblade, appreciate it. I guess I just want to say to both of you that you two are also the closest to me also. I'm going to fully live my life, my way." Silent Wind said, with a vigorous mood.

Silent Wind quickly grabbed the sickle and threw it in the air. He then turned into the Armor of Shade mode and used his magic to lock the cuff shackle on his upper right arm and then the sickle poofed out a smoke and instead showed a special armband on Silent Wind's right upper arm that had a Silentblade Insignia on it. He smiled as he walked away, feeling two bursts of whistling wind touch his coat. He then raised up his hood from his now brown cloak and wore it, lowering his head down. He grinned as he had a very good feeling for his future and then he turned back to his normal form, having his simple silver coat, brown cloak and his good leather bracers also which covered some of the bandages on his wrists.

"Life just gets better and better." Silent Wind exclaimed.

Silent Wind loved the life he had now, it was good but he never would have his family by his side. Despite that, he still loved where he was now. He had friends and people who would protect him also, and he even had the most beautiful Mare in Equestria.

The Mare who would always be his Twilight Sparkle in his eye.

THE END

A Calling from Canterlot

Prologue Chapter: A Calling from Canterlot

It's been only three months since Princess Cadance and Shining Armor were attacked by two Silentblade Assassins and Silent Wind has been living peacefully in Ponyville with his Marefriend, Twilight Sparkle. And her friends also.

Silent Wind was at Sugarcube Corner, trying to get a cake for Twilight's Birthday. It took a while seeing that he had struggle taking with Pinkie Pie.

"Oh what does Twilight want?! White? Marble? Chocolate? Ooh get chocolate!!" Pinkie Pie blurted out.

"Pinkie Pie, can you slow down..? I have to pick something good for Twilight." Silent Wind said.

"Oh! right!" Pinkie Pie laughed.

"I'll just take a chocolate cake. Make sure the frosting is purple!" Silent Wind ordered.

"Okey dokey lokey!" Pinkie Pie went into the kitchen of Sugarcube Corner.

"Now I just need to give her the perfect gift..." Silent Wind thought.

He began to think and thought of the perfect gift for Twilight she would just love.

"I got it!" Silent Wind yelled.

Pinkie Pie jumped out of her kitchen. And had a grin.

"Got what?!" Pinkie Pie said.

"I know what to give Twilight for a present!" Silent Wind said.

"Ooh, what is it!" Pinkie Pie began to hop.

"Oh, you'll see. Hey Pinkie Pie, is that Cake done?"

"Yep!" Pinkie Pie went back to the kitchen and putted the cake in a very large box and gave it to Silent Wind.

"Maybe... we should.. carry this.. by carriage..!" Silent Wind grunted.

"Oh, why didn't ya say so! Follow me to the back!" Pinkie Pie hopped to the back and Silent Wind followed, still holding the Cake.

After riding the carriage with the cake, of course. Silent Wind and Spike fixed up the Library with party items given by Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie also obliged to help also. Once they we're all done. They waited until Twilight came back from the Quill and Sofas store to get more quills. Soon after, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy came in too. Having Presents too.

"Ah hope we ain't late y'all." Applejack said.

"Nope, Twilight should be coming within a few minutes." Silent Wind said.

"Let's hope that egghead get's here before nighttime, It's like 4PM for pete's sake!" Rainbow Dash said.

Rarity and Fluttershy nodded.

After at least Two minutes, Spike went downstairs to inform everyone that Twilight was coming. Everyone hid and turned off the lights. Then waited, until..

"SUPRISE!!"

Twilight jumped and was frightened.

"This is so amazing! I'm real flattered that you all threw me a party!" Twilight shouted.

"You'd think we'd miss your party? Nope." Silent Wind said and smiled at Twilight.

Twilight hugged Silent Wind and Silent Wind hugged back.

"Ah'm sure ya'll have time to snugglooze later, let's enjoy yer party, Twi." Applejack said.

After they partied and eating cake, Twilight were given her Presents. From Spike, she was given a book. A book which was another copy of that book that Spike burned up.

"Thank you, Spike! I'm happy you gave me another copy of "The Astronomic Astronimer Almanac to all things Astronomy."

"Thanks! I remembered I burned up the old one when I sneezed so I bought another one." Spike said.

Twilight hugged Spike, Silent Wind slightly smiled.

"I want to really thank all of you for giving me gifts. It's great to have you guys."

"No prob, Twi." Rainbow Dash said.

"Why thanks, Sugarcube." Applejack said.

"It's my pleasure, Twilight." Rarity said.

"Me too.." Fluttershy said.

After another hour, Everypony went back home. Silent Wind tapped Twilight, causing her concentration to go to him.

"Twilight, I almost forgot one more thing." SIlent Wind said

"Hm? what's that?" She questioned.

"Here.." Silent Wind lowered his head.

He was giving his Amulet. To Twilight. His Amulet that was given from the Silentblades. The Amulet hanged on his hoof until he putted it around Twilight's neck.

"Silent Wind, this is your.."

"Yeah, I know that. But I might as well give it to you. It'll help you to always know I'm here and afterall, you deserve to have something a part of me!" Silent Wind had a grin on his face.

"It's my gift to you, Twilight."

Twilight was speechless, She never thought that Silent Wind would give up something big to him. She was honored to hold something of his, which was now hers.

She lunged at Silent Wind and hugged him.

"Thank you so much! this is the best gift ever!" Twilight cheered and Silent Wind simply laughed.

"I'd knew you'd like it." Silent Wind said.

"You're very thoughtful to give me this." Twilight kissed Silent Wind and Silent Wind was kissing back. Then all the sudden, Twilight slipped her tongue into Silent Wind's mouth. Silent Wind didn't really know how to react until he tasted some frosting taste in her mouth. He just decided to explore her mouth too since he was enjoying it a bit also. Soon, Twilight broke the kiss.

"I'm really sorry If I made you feel uncomfortable in any way.." Twilight began to feel embarrassed for what she did.

"Wh-What..? N-no, it's alright. You did okay.. if that's what you meant." Silent Wind blushed.

"Oh.. uh okay, Thank you for the gift." Twilight kissed Silent Wind on the cheek and she went upstairs.

Silent Wind sighed seeing how Twilight was trying to make him feel nice here, even though he was feeling nice already. He went upstairs to go to sleep with Twilight.

"I wonder what's gonna happen next.." Silent Wind wondered before getting into bed and getting comfortable with Twilight.

Outside of one of the Windows in Twilight's home, was a crow. A red one. It flew off into the Moonlight. Going to a certain Pony, Ghost Spectre. The crow laid on Spectre's hoof as it somehow told Spectre a few things through thinking. A certain skill of Spectre's.

"I see that he's living quite well now.. well he better have the most he can." Ghost Spectre said.

Then, he saw that Magicius teleported to him. Magicius moved toward Ghost Spectre.

"Did you find anything, Ghost?" Magicius said.

"A little.. I see that he's got many friends, I think you do know he also has allies at Canterlot, also.." Ghost Spectre explained.

"He's got a cute little Mare.. A Lavender Mare."

"Hmm, Blood Roar did tell me that Silent Wind was protective of some Mare who was pale and purple. Do you think that he may have a somewhat-sexual or Romantic relationship with this Mare?"

"I'm not damn genius, but yeah..." Ghost Spectre said.

Then all the sudden they saw another Pony, Wing Beat.

"You two, enough with your damn talking. Get to the castle. The Lord is ordering for a group meeting." Wing Beat said.

"Sorry, we're both-" Ghost Spectre was interrupted by Wing Beat when he expanded his wings and took out his Wings which were highly-edged sharp.

"I said now." Wing Beat demanded.

"Hmph." Ghost Spectre fixed his Metal mask a little and putted his hoof on Magicius shoulder.

"We'll see you back, Wing Beat." Magicius then teleported and took Ghost Spectre with him.

Wing Beat looked back at the glimmering lights of Ponyville. Seeing the peacefulness he saw during night. He chuckled.

"Peacefulness are for the Weak." Wing Beat then flew to south to go to the Kingdom of the Silentblades.

"When there is Peace, there is always war.. and war shall come.."

It was morning in Canterlot, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were peacefully strolling around her garden until she saw something shocking.

"What is this?!" She yelled.

"Are thou' okay my-" Princess Luna gasped.

"Not again." Princess Celestia said.

The Petrified statue of Discord, was now gone. Which had meant that Discord is now free once again.

"This is bad my sister, Very bad!" Princess Luna said.

Suddenly, Shining Armor runs to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.

"Mi'lady! I've come back with bad news, a few of my men came back from patrolling the Everfree Forest and encountered Changelings and Ponies in Black and purple robes which are Members of the Silentblades! Some of my men have come back, injured!" Shining Armor yelled.

"What?!" Princess Luna said.

"We now have a whole set of Problems now..." Princess Celestia said.

"What shall you have me do, Princess Celestia?" Shining Armor asked.

Princess Celestia quickly pondered her thoughts about the situation.

"Bring in our Six dear pony friends! We are in need of them."

"I will make a trip to Ponyville with Carriages." Shining Armor ran but was stopped.

"Wait, Shining Armor!" Princess Celestia said.

"Yes Mil'Lady?" Shining Armor said.

"I also recommend that you bring your friend of yours with them, I know him and so do you."

Shining Armor's eyes went wide and he gave a smirk and gave a nod. He then ran.

"I hope they come soon.." Princess Celestia said.

It was 10AM and Silent Wind woke up and saw that Twilight was out of bed. He gave his head a little shake and got out of bed. He putted his cloak on and his leather bracers on also. He then saw that Twilight was actually up making breakfast. Twilight soon saw Silent Wind and smiled at him.

"Good Morning, Silent Wind." Twilight said.

"Mornin' Twilight." Silent Wind sat down at the table and looked at the amulet that he gave to Twilight. Twilight saw him look at it and laughed.

"Yes, I like it." Twilight gave him his breakfast and gave him a gentle nuzzle on the snout.

"Good to hear." He then ate his breakfast.

"Hey, Silent Wind.. I'm not doing anything today, I was wondering if you just wanted to go out. Just you and me." Twilight said.

"Sure, I guess. I don't really see anything to do to-" Silent Wind was interrupted by Spike running to Twilight.

"Spike, I thought you were doing your chores downstairs, what's wrong?" Twilight questioned.

"I have to give you an important note.. wait." Spike then blew out a scroll with a royal mark and then gave it to Twilight. Twilight began to read it while levitating it with her magic. She read the note out loud.

Dear Twilight Sparkle, please come to the Canterlot Kingdom. Bring your friends with you and also your Coltfriend. This is an Emergency. Come as soon as possible.

-Sincerely,

Princess Celestia

"An Emergency by Princess Celestia..?! this must be bad then." Silent Wind exclaimed.

"You're right, I'll go get my friends and we'll get to the train!" Twilight gave Silent Wind a kiss and .

"No, you'll come with me."

Twilight reconized the voice and went downstairs.

"Shining Armor? What're you doing here?" She asked.

"I'm here to get you and your friends to Canterlot faster, you must get to Canterlot as soon as possible. I will help you and your friends get there fast, Including Silent Wind." Shining Armor explained.

"Okay then, let me go get my friends!" Twilight ran out of the house and began to go collect her friends.

"This has to involve with the Silentblades. Doesn't it?" Silent Wind said.

Shining Armor simply nodded.

"Other things also, Princess Celestia will inform you all once we get to Canterlot." Shining Armor said.

"Alright then. She better make it simple though.."

Back at the Silentblade Castle, the Meeting was near an end.

"I see that you seek Silent Wind.." Deadly Rose said.

"Indeed. He is essential for the Completion of my Power." He said.

"We know that, We just have to find a way to get him." Ghost Spectre said.

"I can bind him. How about that?" Sharp Thorn said.

"Not wise. Your vines have thorns in them. You'll just hurt him" Magicius said.

"We'll just have to take him by force then.." Wing Beat said.

The Leader was silent for a moment, until he had thought of something.

"Fine, I will ask the Princess of Equestria to hand over Silent Wind nicely." The Leader said.

"My Lord, no offense but are you sure that will work?" Wing Beat said.

"Not Likely, so if she refuses that will be her own mistake.."

"Do you want us to accompany you?" Deadly Rose said.

"I may be that Leader, but that does not mean I cannot handle myself..!"

Deadly Rose's eye twitched a little.

Then, he sparked his horn a little and teleported off to Canterlot.

"Hmph, I wonder what to do now.." Ghost Spectre said.

"Simple, we line up the members and tell them prepare for War in case we do go to that spot." Magicius said.

"That sounds like a plan.." Poison Cloud said.

"Yep." Sharp Thorn said.

"Alright then, lets move." Poison Cloud said.

"I'll stay here, I'll pratice with my Violin so I can play a song of death for our enemies, it's only nice to do that.." Deadly Rose said.

"Fine, do what you please." Magicius said and the others followed him out of the throne room.

In the darkest depths of a destroyed building, there lies a dark figure within the shadows.

"It seems that this world is in need of more chaos.."

The Dark figure gets up and moves on to a certain location.

"Now, where shall I make my first move..?"

A Battle within The Mind

A Battle within The Mind

Chapter Ten: A Battle within The Mind

As the two brothers broke their hug, Silent Wind heard steps of hooves closer and getting louder. He swung his head to his right and saw that Twilight was charging at them, Twilight then threw herself around Silent Wind. Silent Wind nearly lost his balance but was still on his feet. He knew that Twilight was hurt because he too was hurt also. Silent Wind smiled and hugged back.

"I'm so sorry you had to do that..." Twilight hugged Silent Wind even tighter.

Silent Wind frowned, he hated seeing Twilight like she is right now. Silent Wind then tilted his head so he could get a bit more closer to Twilight.

"It's alright, I'm just.. happy that my Mom is in peace now." Silent Wind then thought of what he was about to do. He focused his eyes on his brother, Silent Whisper. Silent Whisper already knew what his brother had thought of and nodded in reply. Then, Silent Wind nodded. Silent Wind broke the hug with Twilight. Twilight became somewhat-confused why.

"What's wrong?" Twilight asked.

Silent Wind looked around for a moment before locking his sight back to Twilight.

"I have to meet with Shade, the monster inside me." Silent Wind said.

Twilight had a surpised look on her face and then her face turned into a worrying look.

"What? Why?" Twilight questioned.

"I have to, just trust me on this, Twilight." Silent Wind said.

Twilight simply looked at him and nodded. She then kissed him and Silent Wind kissed back also, she soon broke their kiss and smiled with a frail look. Lily then came over to Twilight and Silent Wind.

"Will you be fine?" Lily said.

"Yeah, I think so.." Silent Wind was unsure what would happen to him. He was going to confront the thing inside of him and worst, he was going to fight it.

"Alright then, Oh and your Marefriend might want this." Lily levitated a crown which was part of the Elements of Harmony and putted it on top of Twilight's head.

"Thank you, whoever you are." Twilight thanked.

"My name is Lily, Lily Blade. I'll move on ahead." Lily said.

"Lily, how about you go on ahead and guide the other Mares? I will stay here and accompany my brother here." Silent Whisper said.

"Uh, yeah sure." Lily then went over to the other group which was the Mane six. Twilight also went but was interrupted when Silent Wind stopped her. Twilight looked at Silent Wind with a raised eyebrow.

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

"I need you stay here also, your magic might help. Please?" Silent Wind begged.

Lily then came over to Silent Wind and the other two. Confused why Silent Wind wanted Twilight to also accompany him also.

"Why can't I stay?" Lily questioned.

Silent Wind then tilted his head at Lily.

"You are best at most offensive situations and out of the whole team, you have the most keen eyes. That makes you useful as a leader. So go on, us three will catch up later." Silent Wind explained.

Lily understood what Silent Wind meant, so after being told to move on with the other five of the mane six, she went to five of them. And then she looked back.

"You better come to us quick, Silent Wind." Lily said with seriousness.

Silent Wind quickly nodded and the other two nodded also.

"We will, now go!" Silent Wind ordered.

Lily and the five of the mane six followed her as they went deeper into the dark depths of the hallways. Silent Wind then went back to the group and sat in a sitting position. And then he looked at Twilight and Silent Whisper.

"Will both of you look after me?" Silent Wind said.

Both of them nodded and smiled at him, ensuring that nothing would happen to them or himself.

"Yes, your my younger brother. I'll look after you till the end." Silent Whisper said.

"I will too, know that we're right by you. I always will." Twilight gave Silent Wind a kiss on the cheek. And Silent Wind hugged Twilight one more time before Silent Whisper broke it.

"Time to go in, Silent Wind." Silent Whisper said.

Silent Wind nodded and began to get into a sitting position. Twilight and Silent Whisper were silent, as they did not want to disrupt his concentration. Within only seconds, Silent Wind was still. He was now in a state of no moving as if he was knocked out. Twilight noticed and looked to Silent Whisper.

"Is he okay?" Twilight asked.

Silent Whisper nodded with a smile and looked at Twilight and back to Silent Wind.

"He is fine, but now all we can do is hope that he can come back." Silent Whisper said and with that Twilight and Silent Whisper stood there, praying that Silent Wind can beat Shade.

Silent Wind opened his eyes to see a raining atmosphere in the sky and saw that he was on top a large tower which had pillars around it, he then went to edges and saw that the tower was above the purple, dark clouds. Lightning began to crash and the rain poured heavily. To his prediction, the place he was at must've been the realm of Shade's paradise. He looked around and wondered where could Shade be. Then, he heard a voice that sounded like a young stallion but more with a more evil tone to it.

"I'd knew you'd come." the Mysterious Stallion said.

Silent Wind quickly shifted his body behind him and saw that it was a dark purple-coated stallion with white hair with a set of armor mostly purple but some it was black also and most strangest part, He looked almost like Silent Wind but only with wings and a horn. Most of the armor was on the shoulders, some on the torso and with armor also covering it's four hooves. He realized that Shade didn't look like a monster, more of a evil Stallion with extraordinary powers. He began to take steps toward him.

"Shade, I have to confront you." Silent Wind said intently.

Shade raised an eyebrow, wondering what could Silent Wind mean. He straightened himself up and kept a serious face at Silent Wind.

"What do you mean?!" Shade asked angrily.

Silent Wind made then drew his blades, Shade's left eye flicked as he reacted to his blades being put out. There, he saw Silent Wind floating in the air with his wings flapping.

"I'm going to have to show you discipline, I have to make you cooperate with me, even if that means I have to fight you." Silent Wind said with determination.

Shade began to chuckle and then he laughed, he considered it funny to see Silent Wind actually say those words. To him, being beat by Silent Wind was a joke to him. To him, Silent Wind was weak but Silent Wind was determined to show him his strength.

"You? defeat me? you really want to try?" Shade began intimidate Silent Wind. But, Silent Wind kept his ground and stayed straight up, still looking down at Shade who was twice his size.

"I don't really have a choice now, do I?" Silent Wind raised his blades up to his snout about to face Shade.

"You're right, I hope I win, If I do, your body is mine." Shade said.

Silent Wind feared about losing, deep inside he knew that Shade was not kidding, If he loses then Shade would possess him forever. Worst, he feared about the others by him. But because of his determination, he'd be certain he would win.

"That won't happen, I'll make sure I win." Silent Wind then charged at Shade.

Shade smirked and casted needles, at least a thousand of needles and with his magic, hurled all of the needles at Silent Wind. Silent Wind then breathed very heavily and held it. He then exhaled, causing a large, strong wind pressure to push against the needles. Remarkably, the needles were repelled and the wind kept on going, it was aimed at Shade but Shade was agile enough to dodge the pressured wind blown by Silent Wind. The wind was so strong, that it left a mark on the tower floor. Now, Shade was beginning to underestimate Silent Wind.

"Impressive, using his birth ability to repel attacks. Still, I have this battle already!" Shade thought and he flew at Silent Wind. Silent Wind noticed he was casting a fireball and then putting it inside a small cube that he had conjured, he then minimized it. Silent Wind was curious what he was planning to do but he shrugged it off and then, wind began to rotate around his blades.

Shade noticed and charged at him. He casted four ice spikes at Silent Wind and hurled the spikes at Silent Wind. And the moment Shade hurled his ice spikes at Silent Wind, Silent Wind slashed in the air and shot two sharp waves of wind. Silent Wind was fast enough to dodge and Shade also dodged. Silent Wind smiled as he dodged it, but all the sudden, he saw that Shade was behind him. So in desperation, he tried to do a back slash but Shade had blocked it with his hoof. He then saw that Shade grabbed his hoof with his magic that was parried with his hoof. Shade then smiled and kicked him, causing Silent Wind to propel back and then Silent Wind felt a excruciating burn behind his back, he saw that he was hit by the still fireball that was inside the summoned cube.

"Agh, crap!" Silent Wind cursed himself before falling down on the tower ground. Even though Silent Wind was on the ground, he eventually rised up, battered but alive. He then saw Shade land by him.

"I hope that isn't all you can do. It's all over now." Shade said.

Silent Wind grunted, ashamed of himself bowing down to Shade. Then Shade saw that he had small whirlwinds on his hooves, he was not quick enough to react to get away from it, Silent Wind spoke before he clap his hooves together.

"It isn't over till I say it's over!" Silent Wind then clapped his hooves together and a large whirlwind that covered the whole tower surface. Shade saw that it was not damaging but he could not open his eyes because of the large pressure pushing against his face. Once the whirlwind dispelled, he saw that Silent Wind was no longer in front of him. He began to look around him, Silent Wind was nowhere to be found. Shade was completely confused where he was.

"Where is that, bastard...?!" Shade began to look but then all of the sudden..

BOOM!

He felt that he was being pushed down, practically being crushed. He then shakingly tilted his head up and saw that Silent Wind was above him. He used the whirlwind as a decoy to confuse him. Silent Wind then flew down with full speed and began to form into a drill.

"This time.." Silent Wind growled.

"I'M IN CONTROL!" Silent Wind yelled before drilling into Shade and there was a large dust of smoke.

Silent Wind then hopped away, falling down and exhausted on the ground. He soon got up and saw a large scene of destruction. He then looked at Shade, who was coughing out black substance. Silent Wind just simply looked at him.

"You... are.. good. No wonder.. your mother.. praises you." Shade said.

"Now, all I need is to talk to you." Silent Wind said.

To Silent Wind's surprise, Shade began to get up with ease. It appeared that Shade had an amazing regeneration ability. He was quite impressed by it.

"Fine, you win. What is it?" Shade impatiently said.

Silent Wind looked at him, he saw how Shade had little trust for other Stallions and mares. No matter what race they were. He looked at him a bit more before opening his mouth again.

"I know how you feel about ponies about me. Most people render you as a monster, but now that I see how you look like and what I've learned from my mother, I no longer consider you a monster. My mother entrusted you to me. And for that, you are a part of me. Seeing that you were once a part of my mom." Silent Wind said.

Shade's eyes literally went wide, seeing the kindness of a Assassin. To him, he never did care for a stallion's kindness. Seeing that for thousands of years, his power has been abused by the Silentblades. But for him, he began to have faith in Silent Wind for showing his kindness against him. Shade closed his eyes and smiled.

"You're polite, I'll give you that. Fine, I'll work with you as long as you cooperate with me." Shade said.

"Yeah, don't worry. I'll make sure to honor your power. Like I said.." Silent Wind gave Shade a hug. Shade was just beginning to chuckle, seeing how cheesy it was getting.

"You're a part of me." Silent Wind said.

Shade smiled and began to vanish and was going inside of Silent Wind.

"Use my power well, Silent Wind.. and let me introduce myself to your friends who don't know me yet.." Silent Wind nodded and finally, Shade went into Silent Wind.

Once all of that was over, Silent Wind then saw the skies getting clearer, the rain stopping, and the sun showing up. And saw that his mind was all clear now. He then saw his vision getting brighter before going all white.

Twilight and Silent Whisper were now getting worried, and Twilight could no longer wait any longer. She was about to run up to Silent Wind and try to wake him up, but then she began to see marks under his eyes and his eyes opened with the eyes of Shade. Identifying that it was Shade.

"Hello there, I am Shade. Don't worry everything had worked out." Shade said.

Twilight sighed in relief and Silent Whisper smiled, seeing that his brother succeeded in beating Shade.

"Now, I want to introduce myself, I am Shade. I will aid Silent Wind in battle seeing that he has quite a future and believe it or not, but he has showed me a kindness that nopony has ever shown me. Not even your mother, Silent Whisper." Shade explained.

Silent Whisper sighed also. And then Twilight tackled Shade, hugging in relief and happiness that Silent Wind was able work it out with Shade.

"I'm just glad everything is okay. Now, we should get going right?" Twilight said.

"Yes, that would be best." Silent Whisper was about to move ahead until he was ordered to halt by Shade. Shade then talked to Twilight.

"Hey, your Silent Wind's Marefriend, is that right?" Shade said.

"Yes, why?" Twilight questioned.

Shade looked at her for a moment and Twilight was getting curious what he must've wanted. Shade then stepped closer to her.

"Just stay still for a moment." Shade said.

"Why would I want to-" Twilight was then interrupted when Shade rammed his lips into Twilight's. And Twilight then felt his tongue going into her mouth, she didn't bother to push him away mostly because it was like kissing Silent Wind and she actually liked it. Silent Whisper just standed there, looking like an idiot with his mouth dropped. Soon after, Shade broke the crazy kiss and cleaned off the saliva off his mouth. Twilight just standed there, speechless.

"Eh, your okay. Let's move now." Silent Wind's voice then came back.

"Move, everypony comon!" Silent Wind ordered.

"Uh.... okay, Twilight lets get moving." Silent Whisper was able to knock sense into Twilight.

"Huh? Huh? Wha..? oh okay!" Twilight then moved with the rest of the group.

As the group at the Silentblade Castle were getting tired of walking, they got to a small room which had three halls in the distance. Golden Shot could not know which way to go so she thought of something.

"Alright, mates. We're gonna have to split up." Golden Shot said.

Shining Armor and Princess Cadance looked at her, as if she was crazy.

"What? Why?!" Shining Armor said.

Golden Shot then pointed out at all of the three hallways and from that point, Shining Armor and Princess Cadance understood what Golden Shot was pointing out. Golden Shot reached for her small pouch and took out two earpieces that were microphone radios.

"What is that?" Shining Armor asked.

"Radio Transmitters, helps ya keep in touch with me. When I or you two find nothin' at the end of the hallways go back and if you do find the right way, let me know and let the other know too. Got it?" Golden Shot said.

Both of them nodded and they putted the transmitters on one of their ears. Shining Armor took the left hallway which he chose himself, Princess Cadance took the middle hallway, and with that, it left Golden Shot with the right hallway.

As they all moved closer into their hallways, they all met them only one though, The Advisors of the Silentblades and with that, it left Shining Armor with Ghost Spectre, Princess Cadance with Magicius, and Golden Shot with Deadly Rose. As they all saw the robes, they readied their weapons and horns in response to battle. All of the Advisors then said a sentence.

"Prepare.."

"to.."

"die!"
