Chapter 4: What lies Underneath?

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Princess Celestia just got the letter from Twilight and read it's content from her throne. It said:

Dear Princess Celestia,

I regret to inform you that things are not going so well. What caused the earthquakes earlier today was a very large rock creature, it was three times the size of us! It captured Luna and took her underground, magma rose from the hole it came through making access impossible. Avery nearly jumped into the magma, but I saved him. He's acting very angry so expect some harsh replies from him. We need your help with this, and if it's possible to bring Shining Armor with you for more help.

I await your quick response and hope you'll come.

Your faithful student

Twilight Sparkle.

Celestia quickly rose from her throne and said "Luna's been captured?! I need to go to Ponyville quickly!" She then took off to find Shining Armor, who was actually just coming through the door. They bumped into each other, and they both got up at the same time shortly after.

"Whoa, ugh. Oh hey Princess, I was just coming by to see if-" Shining started to say when Celestia suddenly says "You need to come with me!"

"What for?"

"Luna's been captured by some rock creature! Twilight just sent me this information just a few seconds ago. We must go Ponyville right away!"

"Alright! Let's head over there!"

Celestia's horn shined and in an instant, they were gone.

At the library, Twilight and the others were cleaning up the doorway which was now just a giant hole in the tree. It was nearing 1:00 P.M. Avery remains laying next to the writing desk, his eyes open and pure white.

"Boy...that thing must be really strong to bust the door and nearly everything around it!" Applejack says

"You think? That thing is made of stone! It must break iron like it was no problem!" Rainbow replies

In the background Avery is whispering words "I'll destroy it....demolish it....turn it to rubble....."

There was a flash of light, Celestia and Shining Armor arrived at the library. Twilight turned around to see her.

"Princess! Thank goodness that you're here!" Twilight says going towards her after hugging her brother

"Where's that hole that you mentioned?" Celestia asks

"It's just outside a few yards away, it's blocked up by stone now."

"Yeah, I poured rain on the magma coming out so it wouldn't burn the town." Rainbow says

"And just imagine that Avery was about to dive straight into it!" Pinkie says quite loudly

"Where is he?" Celestia asks

"H-He's over there." Fluttershy says still trying to overcome the event.

Everyone looked over at the writing desk to see that Avery was standing by it with his head down, his mane was covering his face. Celestia goes over to him before stopping just a few feet away from him.

"I sense....an odd power coming from him..."

Avery was now saying the same things more loudly "I'll destroy it....demolish it.....turn it to rubble...."

Celestia backed up just a little "He's never emitted that kind of power...."

"I'll make sure it will be grounded into gravel and used for roads....I will not be stopped to destroy that thing....it took her away..." Avery kept saying, a dark matter was now swirling around his horn

Avery lowered his head with his voice sounding more demonic like, everyone was just staring at him as he kept speaking

"If you think....that you're going to stand in my way....you're wrong....Dead wrong." Avery lifted his head to show his white eyes.

A bright flash of light shined, making everyone cover their eyes. The light dimmed down and there was a low demonic growling coming from Avery. Everyone looked in fear at what happened. Avery had turned into a glowing figure, orange light outlined his structure, two large arms came out of his wings seemingly made of magma as it glows, his hair flew upwards with an orange electric pulse going through it, his face had turned more evil like as steam flew from his mouth.

"Graaaah...." Avery breathlessly says as he slowly walked toward the door

Fluttershy was frozen once more, and everyone else just watched him in fear not able to move. Just then Twilight walked infront of him and used her magic to stop him in his tracks

"A-Avery! What in the world happ-AH!" Twilight tried to say before one of Avery's arms smacked her against the wall.

He continued to slowly walk, his white eyes seem empty as his body glows. Shining Armor went towards Twilight and brought her back to Celestia.

"W-W-What's wrong with him?!" Applejack sputters out

"I'm not sure...but it may have to do with that tablet...." Celestia says

Avery slowly walks outside and looks left, he then jumps out of sight. Scratching sounds and loud growling were heard shortly after.

"Come now, lets head to Canterlot to discuss what to do about this." Celestia tells everyone

Everyone gathers around Celestia and she teleports them to the throne room. Celestia trots around thinking while Shining and everyone else helps Twilight try to feel better.

"She got burnt, but it's nothing bad. Get some water and some ice just to be safe." Shining says looking at Twilight's side.

"Its like he was being controlled...since Avery would never hit us, Especially Twilight!" Rarity says

"Can the Elements stop him? I bet that they can! Yeah! Lets d-" Rainbow says before something interrupts her

"It will not be that simple..." Said a voice coming from an unknown location

Everyone looked around to see where it was coming from, Twilight just recovered from the hit.

"Who there?! Show yourself!" Celestia demands

"I will, I just need to find a safe spot to come in at.....AH, here's one." the voice said

A few seconds passed, then from the corner of the throne room, a large silver spike rose up from the floor. It was huge in caparison to the creature itself. It then retracted, everyone stared at the corner of the room. A few minutes later a blue figure appears, it being the same size as everyone else, and walks towards the group.

It looked like the creature, but it was blue and silver, had two small spikes coming out of the top of its head on the left and right side and curving to look almost a crown, it had two larger spikes coming out of its back curving down, it had green calm eyes with slight slit pupils and had marks around them, the same pattern appeared on its hands and chest.

It stopped when it reached a few feet from the group, looking at everyone.

"Who are you? What is your purpose here?" Celestia says walking infront of the creature.

"My name is Solar, I rule a land underneath yours. I mean you no harm, but I do intend to help you." the creature said with a calm tone

"Help us in what way?"

"The tablet you found, I made that tablet Millennia ago, when this world was just starting to form. I can tell you what it says. I will also help you tame the beast that once was your friend."

"How do you know about THAT?" Rainbow asks

"I have ways." Solar answers

"But didn't you....say that the Elements wouldn't work on him?" Twilight asks still feeling much pain.

"I didn't say that, I said that it wouldn't be simple. You can't cure him with harmony magic, but you can trap him...for a time." Solar replies.

"So....how do we cure him?" Celestia asks

"It falls within the being's heart, he saw something bad happen to someone he loves and not able to do much about and sees them disappear. To cure him, you must have him see that the being he loves is alright, BEFORE the sky is red." Solar answers with a serious tone

"Well do you mind if you tell us what the tablet says?"

"Of course, just bring it to me. I have yet to see it after so long."
