Chapter 19: Solar’s Welcoming and Dream’s Dream

In a white room

Twilight was bound in a strait jacket with a ring around her horn and a muzzle guard on her face. She sat there looking at the floor aimlessly. Since Shining Armor’s execution, Twilight was unresponsive throughout the day. She refused to eat any food the guards gave her. All she did for the past day was mourn the death of her brother, she felt like her whole life went downhill. Everything seemed lost to her; she even lost communication with Samuel and didn’t bother to try to contact him.

Twilight heard weird noises coming from the wall, but she didn’t even glance at them until suddenly, red words started to appear on the walls.

‘Your brother isn’t dead, but in your mind he is. What you saw before was an illusion. Celestia had planned this out so she could successfully trick Samuel in to believing that she performed her job correctly in order to prevent you from participating in the incoming war. My name is Illiad, your guardian devil, forgive me for being late, I had some…problems. Twilight Sparkle, I need your help. My fellow nephew is loose upon your world. The moon has been subdued and now obeys him. Twilight Sparkle, my nephew is extremely dangerous and has to be stopped. Celestia is in great danger from this abomination of chaos. He’s capable of killing anything due to his insanity. I don’t blame him, after what happened to him from before, a creature with that much dangerous potential has every right for revenge.’ –Illiad of Samuel.

A smile slowly edges on Twilight’s face and tears started to roll out of her eyes as she began to sob. “Illiad, thank you, I’ll do my best.” Twilight said. She heard the sound of a door opening, looking behind her, Twilight see’s the side of the wall open revealing an alicorn who had a red coat with a black mane that had red stripes, the alicorn was a grown stallion with red eyes who had steel armor plates on the sides of his wings each marked with an “R.P.” insignia. He looks around the room and sees Twilight.

“Who are you?” Twilight asked nervously.

The stallion smirks and says, “My name’s Redpen, Paradise member, Rank: Explorer of the World. I came to get you out of here by Illiad’s request.” Red walked to Twilight’s side and began unhooking her strait jacket. After Redpen was finished unhooking it, Twilight takes the muzzle guard off and the ring around her horn off.

“Thanks.” Twilight said sighing in relief.

“No problem, Illiad told me everything I needed to hear.” Redpen said smiling at Twilight.

“You met Illiad?” Twilight asked becoming surprised.

“Not face to face, no, he sent me a letter about you when I was in the Griffin Nation. He also told me to find some alicorn named Solar Eclipse.” Redpen said walking to the entrance he came from. “I think we should go.” Redpen looks around, “Hmmm, now I remember, this was the room where Celestia and I had our first time together.” Redpen said smirking. “I wonder why she changed this into a white room.” Redpen wondered, looking around the room smiling.

“What do you mean by that?” Twilight asked looking at Redpen confusedly. Redpen smirks at her and puckered his lips in the air causing Twilight to blush after she realize what he meant about his words, ‘first time together’.

Redpen began laughing at Twilight’s shock expression and says, “Hey, she enjoyed it…anyway don’t worry okay? We’re over; we had to come to agreements due to the fact that since I travel a lot I wasn’t able to spend time with her so our relationship fell apart.” Redpen walked through the exit he made in the room followed by Twilight. The exit was then sealed, thus making the room look completely un-tampered with.

Redpen and Twilight were walking down a dark hallway that was being illuminated by Redpen’s horn. “Redpen, are there more alicorns like you and Princess-I mean Celestia?” Twilight asked. She still felt betrayed after Celestia tricked her into believing she killed Shining Armor. Redpen glances at Twilight seeing the lavender mare looking down at the ground with her ears down, frowning.

“Yeah, hey Ms. Sparkle, don’t feel down alright? Illiad told me what happen in the throne room and also told me that you’ll feel completely down because of it. Look, Celestia wanted to do whatever she could to protect you. Shining Armor isn’t dead at least; whoever casted that illusion and actually tricked Samuel must’ve been very strong in the magical arts.” Redpen said smiling at Twilight, trying to cheer her up.

Twilight looks at Redpen and says, “O-okay, I’ll try.” She noticed a light up ahead. “When I get a chance, maybe, I’ll visit Celestia and apologize to her.” She said looking at Redpen smiling faintly at him. Redpen nodded his head and guessed that this at least was the best he could do to cheer her up.

Soon the two made it to the exit of the cave and were now outside of the castle near the gardens. “Hey, we should hurry up and head straight back to Ponyville’s train station so we can meet up
with Solar.” Redpen said looking at Twilight. Twilight nods her head. “By the way, since I broke you out of there that makes you an escaped criminal. So stay low and stay by my side, okay?” He asked. Fire began forming around his body shocking Twilight.

“You’re on fire!” Twilight gasped.

“Yeah, I have Pyromancy, sweet right? Anyway stay by my side okay?” Redpen asked smiling at Twilight.

Twilight nods her head and says, “Okay.” She felt relieved for now, all she had to do was find Solar Eclipse and see what else Illiad had in store for her.

Ponyville’s Train Station

The moon was out however the stars were not there to surround it. A train was stopping at Ponyville’s train station. When it stopped, the doors began opening and the ponies started to exit out the train. An alicorn with dirty blonde light brownish mane whose bangs were just above his eyes and swished to the right and were a couple inches past shoulder length on the sides and in the back. The coat color he had was crimson. Unlike other alicorns, this one had a unique feature almost similar to a fox due to the three whiskers on each side of his face.

The stallion’s cutie mark was a black storm cloud striking lightning with a hurricane surrounding it. He came out the train and looked around, calmly surveying the scenery. The alicorn was named Solar Eclipse. “This is Ponyville just as Metal Head said. I guess that means the three are here.” Solar said walking down the stairs of the platform and began heading through the town.

About twenty-five minutes passed and Solar was still roaming the town. “Where is this group located at?” Solar said wondering around. He then suddenly heard glass breaking. Turning right, Solar got tackled by a pony. The pony was Dream Phobic who was covered in scratches. The musician was holding his sword and Cello. Getting up, Dream glares at a few Azazelists unicorns. Dream notices Solar on the ground groaning.

“Oh, I’m sorry about that, these Azazelists are very strong with magic, but the category of their magic is water, how, unoriginal.” Dream said helping Solar up.

“Who are you?” Solar asked.

“Dream Phobic, Paradise’s musician/swordsmen look I’m sorry about the whole crashing into you.” Dream said glaring at the five Azazelists. “Improper gentlecolts with no style of respecting a musician like me.” Dream said readying his sword ready to attack. The Azazelists cast water spikes and shot them towards Dream.

Dream smirks and slashes the water spikes in half, but the water turned into water needles and proceeded to shoot towards Dream and Solar. “OH, BLOODY HELL!” Dream yelled grabbing Solar and leaping out the way. The water needles struck the ground missing them.

“That was close.” Dream said getting up. He helps Solar get up and looks at the Azazelists. “I know you’re an alicorn and all, but I am sure you know how to use magic of course right?” He asked looking at Solar smiling.

“Umm, yeah, of course I know magic.” Solar said looking at the Azazelists. Electricity began flowing around Solar’s horn. Soon the electricity began flowing around his body surprising Dream and the Azazelists also.

“I fought these cult members before, so I would know who I should use my magic against.” Solar said charging up an electric bolt on the point of his horn. Then,almost instantly, he shot an incredibly bright bolt of lightning at the Azazelists hitting one of them dead straight in the chest.

The shot blew the pony back into a house. The rest instantly casted water spells summoning a water dragon that was extended all the way up to the sky. Dream became cautious as the water dragons all came down straight towards Solar.

“Hey, look out!” Dream yelled, but the dragons came crashing down on top of Solar. Suddenly a massive lightning strike struck the dragons, destroying them and the users. Dream gasps when he saw an electric shield surrounding Solar. The Azazelists were blackened and charred from the electrical surge that went through them.

Dream was shocked in amazement at the great work Solar performed. Solar walked up to Dream and says in a calm tone as if nothing at all had happened, “You said you were part of Paradise, well I want to join and stop these evil cults.” Solar said. Dream smirks and takes out a mug of coffee and begins drinking it. “Hey, is that coffee?” Solar asked.

“Why yes, you drink coffee to?” Dream asked.

“Yeah, I love coffee.” Solar said smiling. Dream shrugs and lends Solar his mug of coffee. He didn’t mind sharing coffee with a fellow coffee lover. “Thanks Mister Dream Phobic.” Solar said taking a sip of the coffee becoming relaxed.

“Now you said you came here to join Paradise correct?” Dream Phobic asked as he re-sheathed his sword back into his Cello.

“Yeah, that’s right.” Solar said giving Dream back his coffee mug. Solar walked towards a lamp pole and placed his hoof on it. Electricity began surging through his body as he absorbed the energy from the metal pole.

“Can you tell me the reason why you want to join us? We don’t let anyone join so easy.” Dream asked.

“What do you want to know?” Solar asked.

“Your background is all.” Dream asked.

“Sorry, but I keep that to myself.” Solar said calmly. Dream frowns in disappointment that he couldn’t hear Solar’s story. He shrugs and straps his Cello behind his back. “Umm, so, am I in?” Solar asked.

“Nope.” Dream said calmly, walking away leaving Solar in a (Poker face insertion here my friend)

“W-what, what do you mean!? I helped!” Solar asked, running towards Dream shocked. Solar stops in front of Dream and says, “Explain to me why I can’t join.” He stomped his left hoof on the dirt glaring at the smiling musician. Dream chuckled and trots past him causing him to get even angrier.

“HEY!” Solar yelled.

Suddenly a bolt of lightning shoots from his horn and towards Dream. Dream smirks as he jumps just as the bolt strikes the ground, burning it. Dream then lands and jumps again just as another one was shoot at him.

Dream then lands on a fruit stand but yet again jumps as the bolt struck the stand, destroying it. Dream does a front flip through the air and ends up behind Solar; Dream then looks back at him, smiling cockily.

This agitates Solar even more as he charges his horn and shoots a volley of electrical bolts that start to ricochet across the street, bouncing from any kind of conductor there was in the vicinity.

Dream then dashes towards Solar as he dodges the bolts that are being shot at him, he then almost instantly appears next to Solar and strikes the back of his neck with his hoof, causing Solar to fly across the ground.

Solar got up exhausted. He couldn’t fight anymore and he knew it himself, but he wasn’t going to give up. Solar began to run towards Dream charging up a bolt of electricity.

Dream smirks and stays his ground sipping his coffee. Solar becomes a lightning bolt shooting towards Dream. The musician eyes narrows, he ducks and rotates in 360 degree motion swinging his katana. Solar stops in his place as a katana was touching his neck.

“Now, you need to work on your timing. You could have lost your head if you had not stopped. I have to give you credit at least.” Dream said as he backed away and put his blade away. “Solar Eclipse?” He called his name. Solar was shock by Dream’s quick speed that he wasn’t paying attention to him. “Solar.” Dream called again finally gaining the alicorn’s attention.

“H-how did you move that fast?” Solar asked. Dream smirks and says, “That for me to know and you to not find out, now that I have your attention, I noticed your skill with controlling electricity. You need work on it if you are willing to survive in this world that we live in.” Dream said walking away after he strapped his Cello on his back.

Solar said nothing, he just watches as Dream walks away. Dream then stops, turns around, and says, “Well are you coming to the H.Q. or not?” Solar looks at Dream surprised at what he had just said.

“Did you just invite me to your H.Q?” Solar asked.

The insomniac pony nods his head and says, “Yes, yes I have. Are you coming?”

“But, you said I can’t be a Paradise member, why are you inviting me to your H.Q., are you a rapist?” Solar asked glaring at Dream.

Dream fell flat down on the ground and gets back up looking at Solar disgust and shock. “What, no, why would you think that!?” Dream asked.

“Well, you were just inviting me to your H.Q. with no explanation whatsoever so I assumed you were a rapist.” Solar said.

Dream face hoofs and says, “I am not a rapist.”

“Okay, sorry, just be more descriptive.” Solar stopped talking after Dream gave him a deathly glare and grin when he unsheathed his sword and had it touching his neck.

Dream speaks in a dark whisper, “Drop the subject, I do not want to hear this “rapist” thing EVER be brought back up again. Do I make myself clear?” Dream’s eyes glinted red terrifyingly. Solar nods his head trembling; he didn’t want to piss this musician off or it might resort in him losing his head.

Dream sheathed his blade back into his Cello and smiles at Solar saying, “Good, now let us carry on then.” Dream walks ahead after strapping his Cello onto his back. Solar sighs in relief and follows Dream.

Redpen and Twilight were in Ponyville. It took them a while but never the less they had made it to the town. Now they needed to find the H.Q. quickly. While they were walking down the street, they both saw a full orange colored pony with a black bird cutie mark that stood ahead of them. The two stopped, staring at the pony cautiously.

“Nero, Nero Phoenix.” Redpen said, smirking at the stallion up ahead.

“Hello Redpen, been awhile hasn’t it?” Nero asked smirking back at the alicorn.

“You know him?” Twilight asked looking at Redpen.

Redpen nods his head and makes his body turn into fire. “Twilight, go to the H.Q., I’m sure Solar is there, hopefully.” Redpen said.

“What about you Redpen?” Twilight asked becoming concerned for Redpen’s safety.

Redpen looks at her and smiles. “Don’t worry, I can handle this.”

Twilight quickly runs away from the impending battle, but is stopped by Nero who has grew blackened fire-wings, “Where do you think you’re going, cutie!?” Nero says standing in front of her, his body slowly being consumed by the black fire.

“Don’t forget who you’re fighting!” Redpen yells just as he collides with Nero causing a giant explosion of sparkling white fire and black fire. Twilight quickly runs away from the collision of divine powers and disappears in the cluster of houses and trees of the village.

Nero and Redpen are still colliding as Redpen doges a strike from one of Nero’s wings and quickly kicks him further into the air. Nero almost immediately recuperates and quickly transforms into a full black flame phoenix, opens his wings and starts to fire a volley of black fire swarm missile-esque constructs towards Redpen.

Redpen immediately shoots a giant sparkling white fire beam from his horn towards the constructs which causes them to dissipate.

Both of them then began to stare at each other, Redpen now covered completely in sparkling white fire and Nero only partly covered in black fire save for his chest and face. “It seems you’ve gotten stronger, huh?” Nero comments smiling.

“Indeed, it’s called “Sancti-Pyromancy” or “Holy Pyromancy” for idiots like you, and I assume since you can equal my power, that you have Infernomancy, correct?” Redpen says in a condescending manner.

“Not only that…” Nero says as he flies towards Redpen, turns his left wing into ice and smashes Redpen in the face, causing him to fall to the ground, “but also Cryomancy.” Nero says as he opens his wings and ice constructs start to fire from his now icy wings.

Redpen quickly dodges as he turns himself completely into white fire and seemed to evaporate. “Where’d you go!?” Nero says as he looks around but he can’t see him.

Suddenly Redpen rematerializes in back of him, surrounds his hoof in white fire, and punches directly into Nero’s back and through his chest. Nero’s eyes become glazed over as Redpen takes his hoof out from him and he starts falling lifelessly.

“Power doesn’t equate to skill.” Redpen says as Nero crashes to the ground. “I wonder if Twilight is at the H.Q. yet.” Redpen begins to fly away but is immediately struck in the chest and leg by two spears of black fire.

He quickly looks behind him and sees Nero flying a few feet away from him, still with the hole in his chest. “How are you still alive!?” Redpen yells at him. Nero just points his hoof at the hole and Redpen notices that it’s healing itself.

“Do you even know what a phoenix is Redpen?” Nero says smiling condescendingly at him. Redpen surrounds the spears in white fire, the spears then dissipate and Redpen’s wounds heal.

“Your regenerative capabilities come from your Infernomancy; you just merely look like a phoenix. That being said…” Redpen then creates an enormous ball of sparkling white fire, the size of a mountain, “A big enough concentration of holy fire will be enough to kill you and extinguish your flames.”

“Ohhhh, shit is getting a little bit too real here.” Nero says as he immediately transforms into a full black phoenix and flies away. “Don’t forget Redpen…” Nero says as he’s flying away, “The same goes for you!”

Redpen then dissipates the giant ball of fire and lands on the ground.
