The Lost Blade
Celestia
Previous ChapterNext ChapterArvikang strode through the doors to the throne room, ready to confront a small and pitiful creature, like Twilight Sparkle and her friends. Instead he saw a large creature, still an equine, but as big as a normal sized horse. Unlike all of the other creatures, this Celestia had a horn and wings, instead of just a horn or just a pair wings or, nothing. It,no she, for it was indeed female registered a look of mild surprise. This only stuck for a couple of seconds, before she saw the bodies of the two guards. Now her face was filled with anger and sadness.
"I am Arvikang apprentice to Darth Logath! I demand that you give me access to your-AH!" while in the middle of speaking Celestia gave Arvikang a hard slap with magic.
"How dare you! First you kill innocent ponies, then you have the audacity to demand something of me?!" she shouted. " Guards arrest this... creature!" she ordered.
That's when Arvikang noticed the four guards stationed at the foot of Celestia's throne. The guards surrounded Arvikang with spears aimed at him. With a snarl Arvikang unleashed a force repulse attack. All four guards went flying through the air and crashed into different walls of the room except one who went crashing through a window. His screams could still be heard until there was a dull thump. Celestia stood in stunned silence. Finally she spoke.
"You may be able to defeat four guards, but can you fight hundreds? I doubt it. Now I order you to surrender yourself!" she said fixing Arvikang with a hard stare.
"I only respect the strong. And I only obey those stronger than me! So do have what it takes, to fight a Sith apprentice?" with that he launched a round of force lightning at Celestia. She countered with a blast of green energy.
--Meanwhile...
Twilight ran as fast as she could. She had slipped away from the princess and Arvikang just as he had started speaking. She had to find the one pony who could possibly contain Arvikang. Her big brother Shining Armor, might have the strength to capture Arvikang. But she had to hurry. She didn't know the full abilities of Arvikang, but she knew that he was dangerous. Finally she made it to Shining Armor.
"Twily what are you doing here?" he asked obviously puzzled.
Quickly Twilight told her brother everything.
"Come on Sis we have to hurry! Where are they now?" Shining Armor demanded.
"This way!" Twilight took off as fast as possible Shining Armor and a trio of unicorn guards following.
--Back in the throne room
Now Arvikang knew why Celestia was the ruler of this planet. They were evenly matched neither one could gain the upper-hand. Arvikang thought that he could overpower Celestia eventually, but it would take too long. Suddenly Arvikang heard more guards coming. Celestia grinned as she heard it.
"That must be my student Twilight and the captain of the Royal Guard Shining Armor! There is no way you can win surrender and you will be spared.
"Never!" Arvikang roared.
With a yell of anger he propelled Celestia through the air with the force. She slammed to the ground stunned for the moment. Arvikang pulled out a lightsaber ready to cut Celestia to pieces. Just then Shining Armor, Twilight, and the three guards rounded the corner.
"In the name of the Royal Guard stop!" Shining Armor ordered.
"As I told your leader I only respect the strong and only obey those stronger than me!" Arvikang hissed a strange light gleaming in his eyes.
With a roar he launched a volley of lightning at Shining Armor, hoping to fry him.
"Contain him!"Shining Armor barked out.
A split second later he and the other guards used there magic to form a barrier around Arvikang. With a hiss a he pounded the purple energy with his fist. Nothing happened and so he tried using his lightsaber. It merely bounced off the shield. With a growl of annoyance and disbelief he shot lightning at it. For a second the lightning was absorbed then it reflected and hit Arvikang. With a roar of pure hatred he he held out both hands on either side of his body. At first no-pony knew what he was doing, then they saw strange, unnatural and menacing looking storm clouds right above Arvikang's prison. Suddenly lightning arced from the clouds and struck the barrier. This time the shield could not withstand Arvikang's might and small cracks began to appear. Shining Armor and the other unicorns strained to keep the shield in place, but they were no match for Arvikang.
Finally with a sigh, Celestia spoke "Captain drain the air from the shield. Right now!" She ordered when they hesitated.
Shining Armor nodded and suddenly the shield glowed red instead of purple. With a look of shock on his face Arvikang began to gasp on nothing, unable to breathe in life sustaining air. He began shaking and then he dropped to the floor. He began convulsing and in a futile effort he clawed at the solid stone floor. Then with a last shudder he became still.
"And so ends another threat to Equestria."Celestia said in triumph.
"Wait Princess you can't just kill him!" Twilight protested.
"He is a murder and a threat to everypony Twilight Sparkle." Celestia said coldly.
"But maybe me and the rest of the girls can change him. Come on you can't say that if something were to attack his abilities would be useless!" Twilight pointed out.
"That is still not good enough reason. True I know a spell to stop him from harming you, but he could still cause much damage." Celestia pointed out
"If we kill him in cold blood then how are we any better than him?" Twilight asked quietly.
After a moment of thought she told Shining Armor to drop the shield. Immediately Arvikang's chest began to rise and fall as he began to breath.
"Very well Twilight I will let you teach him how to behave. But if steps out of line or kills another pony I will get rid of him one way or another. Oh and he will be punished for his crimes while he stays with you in Ponyville. Now take him away guards."Celestia added.
After the guards removed Arvikang, Celestia noted in shock that where Arvikang had clawed to escape there were deep trenches. He must have been very strong. This was going to be a new challenge...
