Equestrians

Cadence frowned “I was absent last time. What’s happening now?”

Discord frowned “Well I’m going to cut out roaming around to collect random stuff. I’m going to narrow the focus on the major battles at least for a bit.”

Twilight smiled hopefully “Maybe that will help with the gore”

Celestia frowned, “I think what we will see will still be very bloody.”

Luna grinned, “I hope to see more fighting.”

Fluttershy held a wing over Twilight “It will be fine, I promise.” With that Discord started up the projection.

Sunset

Sunset and Soldier ran into a large spider-like cyborg demon with it’s brain exposed. Sunset gritted her teeth as the creature’s weapon made it impossible for her to close the distance. It didn’t hurt but it pushed her backwards. Sunset formed a huge orb of fire and sent hurtling at the creature, the orb exploded leaving a charred corpse in front of them.

Soldier frowned “You didn’t use that earlier?”

Sunset shrugged “I prefer close quarters, gets the blood pumping” she then snarled “but that thing was cheating!”

Equestrians

Cadence grimaced “That creature was disgusting. Why would anyone create such a thing?”

Discord frowned “The demons exist for the sheer purpose of conquest, to turn all other worlds to resemble theirs. Their lord was a problem.”

Twilight frowned “Was?”

Discord shook his head “Later, Twilight.”

Celestia frowned “So what happened next?”

Discord frowned “Well after arriving on Earth, and then heading back into Hell again they faced this.”

Sunset

Sunset and Soldier arrived to see a massive biomechanical goat-like head with a brain sticking out. Sunset’s heart started pounding as he made her way to the creature, the scent of blood filled her nostrils as pools of blood poured onto the ground behind her. She leapt onto the creature, ripping it’s brain out of it’s skull killing the creature.

Soldier frowned, “That was fast?”

Sunset frowned “That creature was not incredibly durable. Hopefully we don’t encounter anything else.”

Discord frowned. “This next one will be the last enemy before they arrive at Argent D’Nur and become Night Sentinels.”

Twilight raised an eyebrow “What are Argent D’Nur and Night Sentinels?”

Discord frowned “Argent D’Nur is the homeworld of the Argenta who formed a Warrior Society with the Night Sentinels created to protect godlike beings called Wraith who provided them with power called Sentinel Energy. That energy was later combined with the essence of Hell to create a more powerful energy source called Argent Energy.”

Celestia frowned “What would happen if you were to mix this energy with magic?”

Discord frowned. “You will understand soon enough.”

Fluttershy frowned “Well let’s finish this last fight before observing what happened to them.” With that Discord started the projection of the next fight.

Sunset

Sunset and Soldier arrive in a courtyard to face a creature that looks like a large demonic larva that shoots fireballs at them while firing off trails of fire at them. Sunset eyes focused on the creature countering the fireballs with her own. The battle dragged on until a barrage of shots terminated the creature. Soldier’s demonic looking gun, the Unmaker was smoking “Well let’s make sure these demons won't harm anyone anymore.”

Sunset the two fistbumping before preparing to destroy more demons.

Cadence frowned “What happens now?”

Discord frowned “They were trained to be Night Sentinels after they proved their worth in their Blood Arena. Sunset did benefit from this greatly by giving her formal military training.”

Luna frowned “I must admit she didn’t fight like a true soldier, taking unnecessary risks during combat.”

Fluttershy shrugged “Maybe but if one has sloppy defences offence becomes the best defence at least against an untrained opponent.”

Twilight blinked “How do you know that?”

Celestia sighed “Twilight, you need to learn about pegasus culture more. Pegasi are warriors, and all of them do mandatory military training at a young age.”

Fluttershy nodded “I worked on perfecting my defences with both a lance as well as blade and shield. I was top in my class defensively, I beat Rainbow in that class.”

Luna eyed her “You surprised me, I didn’t think you had that level of combat capability. Would you like to test yourself against me?”

Fluttershy paused before nodding “I want to see if my practice has kept me capable.”

Luna grinned “Great, I’ll get ready!” Luna darted out of the room as Celestia groaned and Discordburst into a raucous laughter.

Twilight looked at Fluttershy with concern “Are you sure you want to do this, the time with your jousting didn’t go particularly well?”

Fluttershy frowned “Jousting is something different, more for show than anything else. I can do this.”

It was not long before Luna and Fluttershy were standing there. Fluttershy was wearing a standard suit of armour as well as a shield and lance while Luna was wearing her personal silver suit of armour, shield and sword. The two took to the skies, Fluttershy’s heart was calm, beating slow and steady. She raised her shield to deflect Luna’s strike, her eyes following Luna as she moved.

Luna was striking from every angle, Fluttershy’s calm demeanour as she blocked each strike was starting to agitate the Princess of the Night. Discord frowned “I think we should step in.”

Luna’s horn began to spark, Fluttershy’s eyes narrowed as she focused on her opponent. A huge blast of magical energy surged forth, Fluttershy dodged using her shield to propel herself along the blast before slamming the butt of her spear on Luna’s horn, the resulting magical backlash knocking out the Alicorn. Celestia stiffened slightly while Twilight’s and Cadence’s jaws dropped.

A couple of hours later Celestia was sitting in the infirmary wringing her hooves when Luna groaned “What happened?”

Celestia wrapped her younger sister in a hug “You’re alright!” Luna blinked in confusion, Celestia sighed “Flutterhsys struck your horn with butt of her spear and the magical backlash knocked you out.”

Luna pouted “I lost.” Celestia sighed, she wished her sister would take this more seriously.

The Fluttershy part was not something I planned it, just popped into my head as an idea.
