Eclipsed Truth

Title: Eclipsed Truth
Chapter 33: Eclipse’s Wrath Unleashed

Vinyl Is Missing

The next morning, Eclipse woke up feeling light, happy… and excited to see Vinyl again.

She had never felt this way before.

But as she made her way to Vinyl and Octavia’s home, expecting a playful greeting or another sarcastic remark, she was instead met with Octavia, standing in the doorway, her expression pale and filled with worry.

Eclipse’s heart dropped.

Something was wrong.

“Where’s Vinyl?” Eclipse asked, already feeling anxious.

Octavia hesitated, her hooves fidgeting slightly. “She never… came home last night.”

Eclipse froze.

Her mind immediately raced.

That didn’t make sense. Vinyl wouldn’t just vanish. She wouldn’t just—

Then, her stomach twisted violently.

The Order.

Her blood turned to ice.

She took a step back, her breath quickening. “No. No, no, no…”

Octavia, seeing Eclipse’s entire demeanor shift, reached forward. “Eclipse, I’m sure she’s just—”

“DAMN IT!”

The air cracked as Eclipse slammed her hoof into the ground, an uncontrolled burst of primordial frost surging from her body, instantly freezing a nearby streetlamp.

Her eyes burned with fury.

She whipped around, her voice laced with venom.

“THE ORDER TOOK HER!”

Octavia flinched, but before she could say anything, Eclipse spun on her hooves and launched herself forward, straight toward the castle.

Eclipse’s Fury—A Storm Ignites

She stormed through the palace halls, her magic crackling uncontrollably.

Every guard that tried to stop her was blown aside by a pulse of freezing energy.

Ponies turned in shock as Eclipse stomped into the throne room, her breathing ragged with rage, her wings flaring aggressively.

Luna and Celestia turned toward her instantly, sensing the shift in her energy.

Luna took a concerned step forward. “Eclipse, what—”

“They took Vinyl.”

The words came out sharp and venomous, and the temperature in the throne room dropped instantly.

Twilight and her friends, who had been present discussing the aftermath of Cadance’s assassination, all froze in place.

Chrysalis, who had been standing off to the side, narrowed her eyes. “The Order?”

Eclipse’s horn crackled violently, her eyes glowing with unrestrained fury.

“Who the hell else?!” she snarled.

Before anypony could respond, Eclipse turned sharply, her wings spreading—

And then, with a thunderous burst of frozen magic, she launched herself out of a nearby stained glass window, shattering it into a million pieces.

Chrysalis Takes Off After Eclipse

Chrysalis cursed loudly.

“Damn it! I knew she’d do something reckless!”

Without hesitation, she spread her insect-like wings and took off, racing after Eclipse, ignoring the calls from the others.

Luna, Twilight, and Celestia rushed to the window, watching as Eclipse disappeared into the horizon, her entire body radiating ice-cold fury.

Twilight’s voice wavered slightly. “She’s—she’s not thinking straight.”

Luna’s chest tightened. “No. She’s thinking with her heart. And in this state…”

Celestia’s voice was grim. “She’ll tear apart anything in her way.”

A Trail of Destruction

Eclipse was blind with rage.

The only thing she could think about was Vinyl—her voice, her laugh, her stupid cocky smirk.

And the fact that the Order had her.

Her wings beat violently, her eyes burning brighter than ever before.

She didn’t stop for anything.

Any creature that tried to slow her down—whether it was a guard trying to ask where she was going or an Order informant—was met with unforgiving force.

One unlucky mercenary, working for the Order, tried to block her path in a narrow street.

Eclipse didn’t hesitate.

She smashed through him like he was a ragdoll, sending his body flying through a wooden cart, shattering it into splinters.

She heard screams, saw ponies gawking at her—but she didn’t care.

She was going to find Vinyl.

And the Order was going to pay.

Chrysalis Tries to Stop Her

Chrysalis, flying at full speed, finally caught up, hovering just above Eclipse.

“Eclipse, STOP!”

Eclipse ignored her.

Chrysalis gritted her teeth. “You are going to get yourself KILLED!”

Eclipse whipped her head up, her eyes flashing violently.

“I DON’T CARE!” she roared, sending a blast of ice upward, forcing Chrysalis to dodge.

Chrysalis’s eyes widened.

This wasn’t just anger.

This was pure, heartbroken rage.

She had seen Eclipse angry before—but this?

This was dangerous.

“Listen to me!” Chrysalis shouted, flying lower to match Eclipse’s speed. “If you charge in blind, you’ll be walking into a trap!”

Eclipse growled, her horn sparking dangerously. “Then let them TRY!”

Chrysalis gritted her teeth.

She needed to get through to her before she did something irreversible.

But for now—

All she could do was keep up.

Meanwhile—The Order Delivers Their Message

Back in the Order’s hidden stronghold, a robed pony approached King Sombra, bowing low.

“My lord,” the pony spoke carefully, “we have her.”

Sombra turned slightly, his piercing crimson eyes gleaming.

“…Good.”

The Order member continued, a dark smile forming. “We have already begun… reminding her of what Eclipse suffered in Tartarus.”

Sombra chuckled.

Then—

Another Order agent rushed in, bowing quickly. “My lord, we have another report.”

Sombra raised a brow. “Speak.”

The agent grinned.

“Eclipse is coming.”

Sombra’s smirk widened.

“Ah… just as expected.”

The agent nodded. “She’s moving recklessly, blind with rage. If she continues like this, we can lure her right into the stronghold.”

Sombra’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction.

“Then let’s welcome her properly.”

He turned toward the shadows.

“Make sure Vinyl… suffers.”
