Rage of the Sun
Chapter 1: Sunset
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIn the Crystal Castle, Celestia, Luna, Twilight and Cadence were sitting around the table. Luna frowned “Why did you call this summit so early?”
Celestia sighed “There was a portal that was moved to the Crystal Empire.”
Cadence frowned “You mean the one Sunset ran away through. You can’t be planning on going after her, you don’t even know if she is alive?”
A familiar voice echoed throughout the hall. “She is alive. I am well aware of where she is and what she is doing.” Discords’ mismatched form materialised in the corner, a serious look on his face.
Celestia glared at him “What do you know of Sunset? You were a statue when she was my student!”
Discord glared back “You underestimate me, the me that met Sunset was from before you and Luna sealed me away in that statue.”
Twilight pulled out a scroll and a quill “Could you please tell me how you did it?”
Discord shook his head “Absolutely not, I will not be responsible for one of Fluttershys’ friends getting permanently stuck in the future with no way home.” Discord frowned “Now I will show you what she has been up to but before that. Discord clicked his talons, four ponies landing in a pile while a yellow pegasus appeared in his arms.
Discord placed Fluttershy on the ground frowning “Well that’s what you get for eavesdropping on what is meant to be a normal meeting between the Princesses. Still, since you are here you might as well stick around.” Discord clicked his fingers conjuring up a screen to show them what happened.
Sunset
Sunset flew out of a portal into a form far different from her own, she was surrounded by several strange figures. Sunset felt her vision cloud, she could feel their flesh parting in her hands. she could hear the crushing of bone and the sound of something being ripped.
Sunset smelt the scent of blood as she heard plopping onto the ground. She felt blood explode onto her. She sat on something soft as she slammed into it. Her blurry vision cleared as she stared at the corpses surrounding her.
Equestrians
Celestia, Luna and Fluttershy were the only ones not vomiting into buckets that Discord had provided. Celestia growled “What was that, Sunset was a bully and cruel but she would never just kill so violently.”
Discord sighed “I gave her increased power for what she would encounter. I also brought her negative emotions to the surface while for her to survive. Those were humans possessed by demons, they would certainly kill her if she was not ready for them.”
Luna shouted at him “Why send her to such a dangerous place!”
Discord frowned “It was a while ago, I was bored and wanted to do something interesting. I am not good at being static, I often do weird wacky things but even then doing that forever gets old. This was a new experience for me to enjoy, besides she was already leaving to somewhere that would honestly be more dangerous than the situation I sent her into.”
Celestia sighed “I’m afraid Discord is correct, the world she would have ended up on would have been far more dangerous. The problems she would have in a world devoid of magic in a body not her own.” She then turned to Discord “How does she know how to use that body so well?”
Discord frowned. “Well, it wouldn’t have been any fun if she died.” At Celestia's glare, he sighed “Look Celestia, it was a long time ago. I am not the same as I was before, I have friends now or at least a friend.” He smiles at Fluttershy.
Rainbow Dash glared at Discord “What was that! She killed them with no remorse.”
Discord frowned “They were under the control of Demons, those Demons would be able to wipe a planet of life within a matter of hours had they arrived in full force.”
Rarity turned to Fluttershy “How did that not make you sick?”
Fluttershy shrugged “I’m not afraid of blood, I am a specialist in taking care of exotic animals. Some only eat meat, I order meat to feed the carnivores and omnivores. I have to divide them up into portions, it can be quite bloody work.”
Applejack frowned “Is that what you do with those dead pigs, Ah deliver?”
Fluttershy nodded “I pay Granny Smith for them. She is aware of what I use them for, so I asked her to not tell you about it.” Pinkie Pie slowly trotted back into the room.
Discord frowned “Are you ready to get back into this?” Everyone nodded, Discord started his recording again.
Sunset
Sunset was running through rooms she couldn’t recognize, she encountered a room with two Imps and a single Pinky Demon. Sunset charged, keeping her three enemies in her sights. She could feel the beating of Imp's heart as she ripped it out. The smell of blood filled her nostrils as she punched through the second Imp's chest
Sunset grabbed onto the larger creatures arm, she could feel a fire burning inside as she struggled against the creature. She avoided it's ugly looked teeth and gripped one of it's arms, she ripped it off watching with indifference to the creatures wails of pain. She then grabbed to side of the jaw ripping the creature in half. She was hoping for more of challenge than that
Sunset exited that room, she soon found herself in a corridor leading into a red room. Two towering behemoths emerged from a doorway, Sunset ran into the room for a figure in green armour to enter with her. He raised an eyebrow “I thought I was the only sane one here?”
Sunset frowned “I have no idea where I am, I assumed everything was hostile.”
The green armoured guy nodded “Well that was wise. Everything other than me has been hostile.”
Sunset growled “Let’s take down those two.”
The green armoured guy blew up something next to him with a rocket launcher “There are six invisible enemies in the room. My visor can distinguish them from the surroundings slightly. Can you take the big guys but be careful, they are probably physically stronger than the other creatures.”
Sunset raring to go, rushed the hulking behemoths, she dodged the punch of one feeling the leg of the giant collapsing. Then suddenly her world was pain, she couldn't see, she heard the sound of footsteps. Sunset felt a sharp pain in her side and the all of the pain started to go away. The green armour guy joined her helping her top her feet “I told you they were tough. How about we split them up.”
Sunset staggered to her feat. She closed the distance, observing as the hulking creature swung at her. She could feel her heart beating in her chest. Each swing she delivered with purpose each dodged attack was a massive relief, finally she managed to slay the hulking behemoth.
The pair enter in a green portal only to find themselves in a dark room Sunset felt attacks from all directions, her body was wracked with pain but she lashed out at her invisible attackers. After a long battle, Sunset felt the last of her strength fade as she collapsed to the ground.
Equestrians
Discord frowned “I think we should call it for now, you clearly aren’t handling this well.”
Most of the ponies were vomiting. Celestia frowned “I think we should send our ponies back home.”
Discord nodded “Twilight will have to stay but I’ll send the others home.”
Fluttershy interjected “I’d like to help, Twilight might want one friend with her. I can handle this. I’m sure you can teleport me here and back again can’t you Discord, I do have animals that need me.”
Discord smiled, “I can do that.” After they stopped vomiting , Discord sent the five ponies and their supplies home using portals.
