Chapter 14 - The days after the duel - rising darkness and the return of chaos

Celestia was furious, her spell work was already messed up by the growth of her foal indide her womb, if she was calm in body and collected in mind.

Her armor 'Elysiums Embrace' refused to be answering her summoning do to the second magic field inside her body, the sentient armor judged her current magic signature to be a attempt of a foreign mage to trick it into obeying.

At least her flame sword and flame combat scythe heeded her magical calls.
'Daybringer' her solar flame sword and 'Daybreaker' her solar flame war scythe are sapient weapons that had not been forged in the sun's solarite core for her, but her mother's use 'Faust Stellar Galaxy'.

Yet when 'Faust' was taken away by 'Discord', did her armor and weapons remained and chose her solar affinity blood daughter to be her successor.

Celestia was enjoying a far greater agility without armor, but when someone of her level was fighting against her, than without her former mothers battle armor, did Celestia feel very exposed.

It was 'Elysiums Embrace' that stopped 'Tireks' magic draining abilities to take hold on her.
Giving her enough time to use 'Daybreaker' to greatly wound 'Tirek', before 'Daybringer' managed to cut of Tireks horn and forcing him to bleed out all stolen magic of the Minatorian and Deer Kingdom nations population.

It freed magic had returned to all living counterparts that didn't die do to expire recently do to exposure to the elements, when their magic drained bodys suffered the mentality exhausted end state to a degree where they didn't noticed their bodies demands for water, food and shelter.

When Grogar returned after having been declared dead for a long time, did only the combination of her mothers inhereted battle armor and both weapons allowed her to keep the undead busy, until her sisters had build the beginning of a anti magic prison that would be known centuries later as
'Tarterus' - The eternal anti magic prison.

Right now did Celestia switched between flying and galloping between rows and rows of uncloaked, fully battle ready Black Hoove Agents in the highest concentration outside the Hive.

Her Black Hoove Agents are the best of the best, the elite of the elite of her youngest sister
'Prismia Nova Exterminaty', going these days by 'Queen Chrysalis of the Everfree Castle Hive'.

The Changeling had build a cover existance for them as Shadow Ponies, blessed by her father 'Solar Nova Exterminaty' to be the defenders of pony kind.

Of course did the Changelings also created cover races for other species like the Abesinian enjoying the 'Black Kitten', or the Minatour having their 'Black Horned' counterparts.

Only the Alicorn Royal family know about it, that also only on her youngest belived lost sister's trust.
Her family was to keep it a secret beyond their grave.

Anyway...

While they parted despite them standing shoulder to shoulder, before Celestia presence parted them in her way like a Pegasus or Griffon parted the mist in the morning in one of two Cloud City's currently in existence.

By the time Celestia arrived close to Cynder with her solar weapons ready to strike, did the situation seem to have escalated into fighting.

The clashing of weapons was to hear and somehow did the Black Hooves manage to keep talking with her despite them standing meters apart.

It was actually very other worldly how Chrysalis managed to speak to her with the Black Hooves in that moment stand beside her, eatch only managing a singel word before the ones before her a meter infront continued:

"Celestia - it - has - already - happend, the - unknown - dark - forces - have - the - hatchling - in - their - grasping - talons.
So - far - the - dragon - welp - seem - only - to - be - unconscious, but - tears - are - streaming - from its - eyes - and - its - breathing - is - irregular.
If - this - continues - we - might - lose - the - youngling!

The - fight - has - already - started, - two - enemies - total. One - is - keeping - the - dragon - in - one - of - its - blunt - talons - that - remind - me - of - slim - Minatour - hands - actually, - but - is - making - petting - motions - that - I - suspect - are - cloaked - glyph - writing.

They - have - apparently - breached - the - royal - castle - anti - scrying - cipher, - if - we - can - not - free - the - dragon - before - they - breach - the - anti - transportation - defenses.
Celestia!
Cynder - is - our - only - hope - to - save - all - afflicted - mortals- with - parasitic - dark magic!

This - can - not - be - allowed - to - come - to - pass!"

Celestia agreed, there would be no monologs or dialogue of any kind. The attackers would be killed on the spot and after the security Cipers are changed out, would they see how the unknown enemy entered in the first place!

15 Black Hoove Agents lay out cold with head trauma in the medical wing, that with coordination are passed from hoove to hoove to be safely evacuated outside the combat area.

The purified Naysay clan ponies and all medical personal was already evacuated.

Once the dragon welp was secured, would they rain death and destruction on the attackers.

The warstaff master of the invading duo keep using the bodies of the Black Hooves attackers as cover against anti magic stone weapons.

The Golems manipulation was perfect, no wasted movement what so ever. Worse, it started to look like the puppet master started to predict its opposing combatants more and more.

It occationaly 'liberated' some equicment it could snatch up from attackers.

3 of the out cold 15... Correction, 17 Black Hoove Agents did get knocked out by their own knock out devices.

Magic spell casting so far only resulted in one Agent losing his cloak to fire and another one had his chameleon cloak malfunctioning and giving everyone with a sense of fashion a heart attack with it stripes of rainbows with changing polkadot appearing and disappearing by random.

They just hoped that Princess Celestia or their Queen in her disguise come in time before they lost the only cure to corruption covered in scales.

The Minatour King and the Queen of Abesinia standed back to back, what shit for brain had the ludacris idea to start a invasion so close to winter?

This better not be the Yetis again... They are the only race not just preferring to fight currently in cold as tits climates, but since they only have to shave themselves according to climate conditions, are they the only nation in the world giving a shit on temperature difficulties or food shortages in combat situations.

Far from the smartest beings, did the Yeti excelled through toughness and their disregard of morality and personal safety in all kinds of warfare. Noone was as feared all year long to be attacked like the Yeti nation under the Storm Kings leadership was.

Literally the only nation without defenses to speak off, do to them all being soldiers from young age.
Surviving by waging war against everyone at one point of time or another and retreating so far into the 'Frozen North territorys' where not even 'Snow Wolves' would follow them.

While many nations flee the slowly growing ice areas of the world, did the Yeti enjoy uncontested territorys. Farming nutrition rich, but absolutely inedible for everyone but Yetis race roots grow under deep layers of Ice.
That why many wonder if the Yeti race have working taste buds at all!

Anyway...

The Yeti keep their greedy and war mongering armys away, after Celestia once melted a wide area of the Yeti invaders border areas near their territorys to drown the tunneling soldiers there.

He could not be possibly that stupid to attack again... for that matter, how did they reached Canterlot Castle unnoticed?

Once Celestia was back, was the trading agreement probably having to wait. So once the situation of the attack can be elaborated and be addressed accordingly.

If the Abesinian Queen and Minatorian King are lucky, than they have the chance to see a 'Solar Lance' attack with their own eyes. Historically reported that it was always a sight to behold.

The last one was 200 years or so ago, when Celestia glassed a Pinguine army inside Griffonias borders.

The Griffons lost only one minor City that was mostly evacuated, the Pinguine lost all their offensive military standing in return.

That was a historical crystal memory recording even used in today's educational elementary schools, when they teached
'Why not to mess with Celestia'
or her ponies inside Equestria and its allied forces.
Or the one lunatic that somehow managed a raiding of Celestias cake vault.
That guy was forced to eat it's content.
Twice.
Observed by all of Canterlot.

Apparently was death by sugar a thing if one was not a Alicorn or Hippo... only their metabolism could handle that much sugar.

Anyway...

Once this drama was over, than they all could sit down to tea and cake again and get the trading agreement renegotiated and trading routes renewed and modernized.
That way could be assured that future commenced Yeti attack would be less profitable and Bandits have a harder time in general.

When Celestia arrived at the scene, did she give herself one minute roughly to study the enemy and spot Cynder who was hiccuping with tears streaming from her body. Her body was limply laying around the in dark magic mist covered Golems the Black Hoove Agents talked about.

Cynder was apparently emotionally hard to decipher at the moment, but her emotional distress seem to be extream.

Suddenly before her eyes did Celestia was seeing in the haze of 'a vision' a Yeti Black Hand Agent, a actually assassine organisation that wasn't made out of Changelings and pretending to swear absolute loyalty to their royal family for the purposes of gaining total information network access of a King/Queendom.

It had a Foal in its hands, Celestia just know that it was her as of yet unborn pony colt!

He was perfect! He had her so bright pink coat fur that it looked white, he had a blond mane and tail as sunny as her sun. It was very young and had not its cutie mark as a result, but it was definitely had her stallions features despite being so young.
A Unicorn with the build of a Earthponys! Her heart was jumping in joy!

... ... ... Only to be crushed when the masked assassine showed himself to be one of the Storm Kings many children with his red eyes and signature cruel smirk on his face, as he killed him.
Killed him in cold blood.

KILLED - HER - FOAL - IN - HIS - DIRTY MOTHER-BUCKING - HANDS!

Celestia had just a internal vision...
'A true vision'.
Something she was able for as young as 30 years after her ascension.
A 'true vision' had come always true so far...
She would have to find a way to break the unavoidable fate.
Nothing would be taking her one and only foal from her, ever!

Luna had the fun of a lifetime. All that uncut and unrestrained combat with intend to kill. She could let lose because her body was that of a Golem and suffered no strain nor the dull pain, but still give the full adrenaline rush of full on combat to the death!
That had been denied her for thousands of years of isolation on the Moon.
Finally thanks to Cynder unfortunately out of grief and heartbroken pain new bloomed Golem-mancer ability.

The living puppet had a bipedal body, one resembeling the ones of the in Starswirl portal mirror resembeling Humans.

It was very rough shaped overall, but had hands like Minatorian had just more nimbel and dexterity unchallenged in precision. Fighting like this through Cynder instinct driven motor function memories really give her a range of motion that while more limited overall, allowed for faster and more precise results.

Though it was strange that a quadruple walking dragon has bipedal walking instinct and knowledge about optimal movements in different stances.
A mystery that would hopefully be revealed eventually to their satisfaction.

It's like she used to fight with a thin butter knife all her life time, now she had a scalpel!

The what she had learned
'Black Hoove Agents of Equestria',
the elite of the elite come to free Cynder in their misguided attempt of saving her.
In truth was Cynders heart suffering from having her perceived losing of her new and only family in her mind. Worse it seemed that misguided pain of her adoptive mother was directed towards Cynder!

This had to be corrected!
Heartbroken syndrome was no laughing matter!
It caused enough mental pain to create extream internal chemical reactions that deactivated self defense mechanics.
Cynder was currently running a cold, that combined with her Heart broken syndrome and she might actually perish!

So while Luna enjoyed her new found freedom through Cynder, she feared to lose it and her at the same time.

The Black Hooves would not give her a chance of signing language.

Since it has been a while she had used it out of boredom, was she a bit rusty anyway.

Once she defeated enough to have them trying negotiations would she...

Wait, what is that bright fire in the entrance of the roo- O SHIT!

Nightmare Stellar Moon was giving Cynder physical reassurance by petting her, while it helped was it only delaying the inevitable.
Cynder needed to be reunited with her family, especially her pony siblings or she would perish before the next time the sun rises.

She observed the surroundings she had to work with. She was in a dead end area of a long very bright made hall that might by some lesser citizens are considered a entry hallway in width and height.

Still it was a dead end, infront of her was a huge force of the best Equestria had to offer in military matters.

How was she to get Cynder to the Apple Clan Familys Orchard ? This Golems had further no flight capacity and all its magic was currently dormant. Bearly giving them a seemingly well balanced combat staff, to fight with.

So far her sister Luna Dreemur Stellar had defeated 17 Black Hoove Agents with non lethal head trauma, knocking them out cold.

While it was fun to feel the battle rush of her sister thanks to being connected via Cynder, was her growing distress at her slow progress the same as her own.

Unfortunately did she could not risk to join the fight, Cynder would not survive in her weakened state as mutch as one combat spell accidentally hitting the well natural armored, but still young body.

She suddenly spotted her sister Celestia, she had unexpectedly not her armor on, but hadn't spared on offensive matters.
While the lack of 'Elysiums Embrace' would give her superior aerial and ground ability and agility, did her defense was greatly weakend.

What was she thinking t-
Wait... Was she turning Nirik?
Alicorn become masters of at least four aspects of the pony race.

Celestia had:
- Kirin are pony-dragon hybrids, the absolute defense and offense options of the 'Firemancer' pony variation. A requirement to merge with the solarit reactor they used as Sun.

• Earthpony of the day, strong and superior in stamina. Celestia body embraced the full strength of the peak performance of anyone's body.
  That mare would never grow fat or anything but muscular.

• Pegasus of the day, she had the endurance and long range capacity of the most sturdy Pegasus. Her wind manipulation was unfortunately rather pathetic, but her resistance towards electricity was absolute.

• Unicorn, one horn and a lesser capacity for multi casting of telekinesis or spells. But a wider range of magical affinities.
  Celestia was a firemancer, white mage healer, light knight combat priest, combat spell buffer and telekinesis combat war mage.

Celestia Solaris Stellar was no laughing matter...
She could 'Solar Lance' the horseapples out of any large military collection of troops and equicment.
She was physically and magicaly with her Sun, the sledgehammer of the royal family.

For some reason she just took personal offense to what happened, Lunas Golem construction no matter how tough, what it wasn't...
Was plainly fucked...

... ... Yep, pierced by Daybreaker and vertically sliced in half by Daybringer... And burning...
Now Celestia was looking at her...

O SHIT!

Discord had planned to make a big entrance, but this was way more entertaining!

Aaannnddd there goes Celestia and ends the fight versus Lunas controlled Golem in less than 10 seconds flat...
She could have made this 20% cooler if she pulled a Trunks versus Frieza... really disappointing.

O Shit... He better make a appearance, the
'false vision'
he just give Celestia about her future foal being murdered was perhaps a bit over the top for a prank for the stone prison shit she pulled on him... alongside the tree of Harmony.

Time to save the Golem of his Wife... and announce his return to the world.

Discord apperance was well timed but badly placed, as his magical Avatar just got shish kebabed by Fausts sword Daybringer.
"Ouch... That sure is a warm welcome..."
