Emergency Meeting, Anger and Beach Head Confrontation.

Fear, a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc. This is what both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had experienced when watching the fight between Our Hero Fable, and the last of the Minion's followed up by the fight with the Minion Champion. They had witnessed the transformation into the red demon as they called it and watched as it completely annihilated the Minion's. Then it went to the fight with the Minion Champion, and even though they were evenly matched when fighting sword against sword. The Minion Champion just wasn't strong enough to take on Fable's level of powerful Will.

"I just don't believe what I saw Sister can this Red Demon be that fast and let alone have that much power?" Luna asked, Celestia however was in deep thought. She tried to remember out of all the times they saw him fight if there was a similar occurrence. And there strangely was when they saw him save Daring Do and Trixie the screen paused and then resumed several second later only to have moved forward a bit. Now a similar occurrence happened again only this time when it resumed the foe of our hero looked like it could shatter at any second.

"Could this person be able to control time within a certain area." She thought, the idea certainly had crossed her mind. Though she put it off as being outlandish, but now having seen it a second time only much longer the evidence was starting to reveal it self.

She would have thought more on it had her sister not asked for her opinion rather loudly.

"Tia, do you think we can take down such an enemy?"

"I have no doubt we can Luna, but let us hope the strike force we sent can capture this being."

"Do you think we should tell the Bearers of Harmony about this? We wouldn't want them to come in with us without this knowledge." Luna asked, Celestia thought for a minute and came to her decision.

"Yes we should warn them about this. So they can be even more careful when we show up to confront this foe. Send a messenger to collect them." Luna nodded and proceeded out to inform the guard to collect the Elements of Harmony wielders. Once Luna was out Celestia's view she stared at the image of our hero in his monstrous new form. She had never faced an enemy like him and wondered is the strike force she sent was a mistake. The idea suddenly popped up in her head of whether or not she sent that strike force to their deaths. Gritting her teeth she slammed her hand on the table and realized the mistake she made. "How could I be so stupid." She said to no one but herself.

The main six had mostly just relaxed on their voyage to the island fortress. They talked about some of the finer things in life like clothes, fashion and everything else to steer clear of the idea of facing whatever might be on the island. To say the least it was dead silent for most of the trip, mostly because they lost interest for everything else except for the Island. They even started playing various card games, to pass the time which resulted in Pinkie Pie winning the majority of them. With a shout from our hyperactive girl claiming her victory yet again a conversation was struck up.

"WOOHOO... I win again. so who want's to play again." Pinkie said with innocent glee. Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity all groaned while Twilight smiled and shook her head at the antics. Fluttershy calmly placed her cards down and waited for Pinkie to shuffle out more cards. Rainbow Dash groaned again as Pinkie shuffled out more cards and said.

"Argh. This is boring can't we play something else? Or talk about something?"

"Well what do you reckon we talk about then sugarcube?" Applejack asked while waiting for Pinkie to stop shuffling out cards.

"I don't know. Maybe we should come up with a game plan or something for when we get to the Island." All the other girls silently stared at her then at each other while Rainbow just looked at everyone for an answer.

"Well." Twilight finally speaking up. "I think Princess Celestia might already have a plan for us. I Guess we are just here to use Elements of Harmony if things go awry." Rainbow's eye twitched a little and she barked out.

"So all were here for is to use the Elements... Not say maybe battle a couple of those creatures on the island or even question why Daring Do let alone Trixie are doing on the island?" Some more silence permeated the room, then Rarity spoke up.

"Well I would assume that since this island is probably old it would contain lots of archaeological finds. Perfect for say an Archaeologist to collect. As for Trixie I don't know what to say."

"Ok now what about those creature's we saw? And that knight what are your thoughts on him?" She asked, everyone looked at each other, they had no idea what to think. Twilight Sparkle was about to answer her when a knock was heard from the door of their room. Everyone looked to the door,Twilight then got up and went to open the door. On the other side of the door was a lightly armored Royal guard that had a brown camouflage hood instead of a helm. On his back was what looked to be a steel clockwork rifle and a iron longsword. His white wings were presented folded but they weren't invisible as all Pegasi have a passive magic that keeps them invisible.

"May I help you?" Twilight asked, the guard with the hood said.

"Princess Luna has sent me to collect you all for an emergency meeting." Twilight looked to her friends who were getting up from their seats. She looked back at the guard and said.

"Lead the way!" The guard nodded and started walking down the hallway. The main six all followed quietly, none of them dared to speak. They all had different thoughts on what the emergency meeting might be for. Pinkie Pie thought that maybe they might be throwing a party for the knight that was on the island and was thinking up ideas on how to surprise him. Fluttershy was hoping that the Princesses weren't gonna tell her that they would have to kill all of the Balverines on the island. Rainbow Dash was thinking on potential game plans to take down the knight quick and painful. Applejack was thinking about everyone else and whether or not they were up to the challenge ahead. Rarity thought on new designs for the rather drab guards that they passed. And Twilight Sparkle was thinking on what the emergency meeting was for, and hoping it didn't mean bad news. After awhile the guard had lead them to the meeting room where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were at.

Once they were let in both princesses motioned for them to take a seat around the table. Each and everyone of them sat down except the guard. Celestia looked toward the guard and commanded.

"You may leave us!" The guard nodded and trotted out of the room. Everyone was seated down and the main six all looked to the princesses for what they were going to say. Celestia rose from her seat and addressed them all.

"Several minutes ago we had another spike in strange magical energy, when my sister performed her scrying spell we saw what we can only describe as a Magic Frenzy. No-"

"Excuse me yer highness." Applejack said interrupting the princess.

"I'm ah afraid some of us don't know what a Magic Frenzy is." She looks to her friends and says. "Am I right girls." Everyone Except Twilight nodded their heads in agreement. Celestia sighed and said.

"Very well Twilight would you kindly explain what a Magical Frenzy is." All eyes fell on Celestia's faithful student and silence was again presence if but for a moment. Twilight cleared her throat and promptly explained.

"A Magic Frenzy is a release of magical power. We release energy from certain barriers within our magic gland that is in all Ponian's. For Unicornians it is not very special cause we almost involuntarily do it everyday when we put a strain on our magic. Thus opening one of several barriers for our magic." The rest of the main six except Rarity still had looks of confusion on their faces. Twilight then explained on.

"For Unicornians we basically get to use more magic when our reserves are empty. For Pegasanians it's rare cause they don't have a way to tap into their magic gland. But when they can it is said they can go at extreme speeds and recover quickly from say aerial mistakes. For Earthnians It's even rarer cause they also have no way to tap into their magic glands and the barriers are even harder to tap into than any other barrier. In fact the last known recording was when Chancellor Puddinghead-"

"That is enough my student." Celestia ordered, all of them stared at her with all of their attention.

"I hope you know what you need to know cause we are gravely steering away from the topic at hand." Silence was back again as the Main Six stared at their ruler patiently waiting for her to speak on. "As I was saying we saw the one Nightmare knight that we know of on the island in a Magic Frenzy. Now as you all know Unicornians and Pegasanians display their wings and horns when performing magic. Sometimes they can be kept out and be displayed to all as the guard that lead you here displayed." Most of the main six nodded in agreement to this. "Now the Nightmare Knight that we saw had a very different display." She indicated this by waving her hand at the display screen behind her, a little magic going from her finger tips to the screen. Once the magic hit the screen an image appeared of Fable within his supposed Magic Frenzy state.

Now the girls were a little disturbed by what they saw. However Twilight Sparkle was wondering why he had two horns and wings that were on display. In fact she was wondering why Fable had wings at all. Then it hit her brain like a train.

"Princess." Twilight called out. "Could this person be an Alicornian Like you and Princess Luna?" Looks of dread soon went on everyone's faces. And then Princess Celestia answered her question.

"No Twilight this person is not a Alicornian he is something completely different." Before she could say anything more the same guard that left the room earlier barged back in.

"A thousand apologies your majesties but we thought you might want to hear about this." He walked over to the two Princesses and presented them with a scroll. Princess Luna took the scroll with her magic and unfolded it while reading the contents. A frown creased her face and she gave the letter to her sister to read. Celestia read the contents out loud for all to here.

"Your Majesty we have noticed that we are flying near the Bermane Triangle where a storm is forming and is headed towards the island that is our destination. We have also noticed a sort of ship sailing away from the storm with several Life boats headed towards the island. We have checked their flag and it is none we have ever seen before. It might be a pirate ship. Recommended orders of action?" She pinched her chin to think of an appropriate order to give.

"Luna I want you to take the bearers of the Elements to the island and intercept those life boats. I will fly with the Zeppelin to the ship and see if they are "friendly." Luna nodded and got out of her seat.

"Come along girls we have an island to get to." The girls nodded and followed her before they all left the room Princess Celestia gave one last order to her sister.

"Luna I want to to take the strike force we sent and direct it to the Beach head of where those life boats will land. I don't want them to go after the Nightmare Knight yet." Luna nodded once more and with the main six headed to the launch bay of the Zeppelin. She directed her attention back to the guard and ordered him to tell the pilots to head for the ship.

Many things were going through our dear hero's head many of which all directed towards the mask that was now presented to him, Daring Do and Trixie. His first thought was how the mask survived when he threw it into the lava at Archon's folly. His next thought was how he would destroy the mask now that it has clearly showed it ugly mug back to him. He was gathering Will energy into his right palm for a fireball when Daring Do made a dash for the mask and grabbed it.

"HAHA WE DID IT, WE FOUND THE MASK OF BLADES!" She exclaimed to the world. Trixie joined her friend and they were giddy with joy cause they found the artifact they were looking for.

"Aww isn't that precious two Archaeologist that found an ancient artifact." Fable tensed with fear as that voice ringed in his head. The two archaeologist's seemed to not hear the voice that belonged to the mask. They spoke too one another about something. It was inaudible to our dear hero though.

"What's the matter Hero you seem to be the only one that can hear me." Fables hand's began to tremble as he still hears the voice of his parent's killer.

"Is it because that only Albion's can hear my voice." The unimaginable fear that he felt was now beginning to be unbearable. And noticeable by both Trixie and Daring Do.

"Hey are you alright?" The archaeologist asked while making her way to our dear hero.

"Yes dear hero are you alright you seem like you've seen a ghost." Jack tauntingly said, Daring Do was near Fable and was about to put a hand on his shoulder when he acted abruptly. Taking the mask he threw it at the farthest wall. Will energy seeped into his hands forming a red fiery orb. When it was charged he threw it at the exact location the mask landed. Daring and Trixie could feel the heat from the fireball as it was flung through the air at the mask. Both had a look of horror as the prize for their troubles was about to be destroyed before their very eyes. The fireball hit directly but the only effect it had was blackening the area around the mask. That didn't stop our hero for he gathered more will into both of his hands. Each glowed blue and a static sound could be heard.

"That first attack was pathetic, come on hero where is that glorious power that you possess?" Jack continuously taunted. Our hero would've released his lightning will power onto the mask but the world seemed to fade into a grey version of it's former self. Fable looked around and saw Daring Do and Trixie had also faded. The only things that weren't faded were Jack's mask and himself. Soon a cloudy Guild insignia formed while swirling clockwise at a snails pace. The Mask of blades floated up into the air and headed towards the cloudy guild insignia and disappeared once it made contact. Seeing how the mask was now trying to escape him he went after it and disappeared as well.

Captain Alendia is a very calm person, most of the time nothing can phase the Assassin Captain. It's very rare that she sees anything relatively life changing. But while she was sailing to an unknown island with about fifteen members of her crew. She saw several things that were new to her. One she saw the what she can only describe as the oval balloon in the sky which was Princess Celestia's personal Battle Zeppelin. Two she saw smaller Zeppelins headed for the island that she was going to in her rowboat. Now these things were faster than her row boats and one thing came to mind.

"Where can I get one of those things?" She said to herself. As she observed the smaller Zeppelin head toward the island and land she felt like she was being stared at. Turning her head around she only noticed Runt, a very impatient young lad who should've died long ago. Of course Runt wasn't his real name, he was just given that name when he wouldn't tell anyone his real name.He wore a mask that was white but had red lines that flowed down from the eye sockets. A shoulder guard with small spikes, a leather vest with a bone necklace and orange plate-mail pants with boots. And he lugged around with him a Ebony great-axe that was augmented with two Flame Augments. He could literally swing the damn thing and set a person on fire.

She wasn't really fond of him for he was huge fanatic worshiper of Skorm the evil god of Albion. But he was always kept in check in case he started preaching about His god again. The only reason he was apart of her crew was something about Skorm telling him to protect any champions that wielded the weapons of evil. And he blindingly follows her even into the unknown cause she wields Skorm's teeth which she renamed the Six Sirens. As she looked upon him he stared back with his cold dead eyes that no one would dare look into lest they be very brave or about to die, then he spoke first.

"Champion, what is it you seek?" That was another thing she didn't like about him. He would always call her Champion even when she told him to call her Captain. With a sigh she spoke to him.

"Well for one I'm a little worried about where we are."

"To worry abut our location is a fruitless thing Champion."

"......Another thing I'm worried about is how long it will take me to kill you for calling me Champion even when I despise the title."

"You wield one of the weapons of Evil therefore you are a champion of Skorm. But I sense there is another thing that worries you?" It was like she was an open book to this fearless worshiper. No matter how much she tried to hide any feelings from him, he could always find a way to pry out information.

"Well you saw those things that were flying to the Island that we are headed to. I'm wondering whether or not they will be a problem later."

"And?"

"And I'm worried about my new lover that might be dead." He remained silent for a moment. He closed his eyes and seemed to be in a sleep like trance. After a minute he reopened them and said.

"The Champion of the Bow still lives clouded my vision of him is, but he still lives." Alendia raised an eyebrow at him and asked.

"And just how do you know he lives? And whats this business about him being a Champion of the Bow?" He took another deep breath and told her that our dear Hero Fable was the wielder of Skorm's Bow and therefore a Champion of Skorm, just like herself but she didn't get an answer on how he knew he was still alive. This aggravated her but she put it our of her mind when they were getting closer to the shore of the island. And closer to what seemed like three golden armored dozen men all standing at attention and seven other differently dressed figures that were all looking in their direction waiting for them. To this response most of the men prepared their weapons eager for a fight but Alendia raised her arm with a fisted hand to hold their transgressions. When they finally reached the shore most of the men moved the row boats to form make shift cover. Alendia payed no heed to them and got off her boat along with Runt following. A girl in midnight blue also walked towards them and six other girls followed her. After they were about ten feet away from each other both parties stopped their advancement.

Alendia put her hands behind her back and held them together. But she also had one hand splayed out with her five fingers ready to count down. And the other one was reaching into her coat sleeve grabbing the tip of one of the Six Sirens throwing knifes that she kept in their.

Princess Luna was staring at the good Captain her hand on the pommel of her silver rapier. The main six all stared at her and his companion with the mask. Runt stared at the guards thinking of ways to defeat them quick and easy. Alendia only thought of how aggravated she was to be halted of her progress to find her new lover. Silence permeated the beach with only the waves of the ocean being heard. Both Luna and Alendia stared at each other almost like a mental battle was being had.

"So I take it you are the leader of these men?" Alendia smiled and nodded her head. "So are you here for any purpose?" Luna asked, The Assassin Captain thought for a moment and answered.

"I am here to simply explore." Princess stared at her for a moment seeming to try and piece together a puzzle.

"And what do you hope to find?"

"And who's concern is it on what I find?" Alendia lowered one finger down and begun counting down.

"As Princess of Equestria it is my concern to know what is going on in my kingdom."

"A Princess well a pleasure to finally meet one in person. Might I ask what you are doing here yourself?" Alendia was now getting intrigued with all the new things that she was finding. And now wanted to pry out some info. Runt warily looked upon the Princess a feeling of mixed emotions went through his mind. And he only thought of the honor and glory he would get for slaying her for his beloved god.

"A very pressing matter has presented it self on this particular island. One that requires the attention of both Princesses." Runt was getting anxious, anxious that he could just burst with will power and start slaying them all. The main six took notice to this and Twilight stepped forward to inform Luna about the captain's guard.

"Princess I think her guard is getting a little restless." Twilight whispered into her ear.

"I have noticed as well and observed that he might be a little crazy." Luna whispered back.

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO WHISPERING ABOUT?" Runt shouted, this caused all eye's except Alendia's to fall on him as he started twitching to go and just release hell upon them all. The Captain sighed and turned but before turned she clenched her fist's together so they didn't see her counting down. Alendia stared at Runt and he stared back with the same twitchiness. She turned back around and said.

"Might I have a word with my associate for a moment?" Luna stared back and reluctantly nodded. Turning back around she stared at her little follower and asked. "What is your problem?"

"They are up to something and are withholding information about the Champion of the bow." Alendia's eyes widened and she asked.

"How do you know this?"

"I can see it and that little Purple haired bitch sees it as well." Her widened eyes seem to lower a bit, it was clear that Runt was just being extra paranoid.

"I need you to calm down for Avo's sake you are being to paranoid." He began to seethe anger for the mention of Avo's was like a boiling pot of soup with all the hated agreements needed to make it taste horrible. And then you just get slop for pigs to eat.

"Don't you mention that name in my presence Champion, you should feel ashamed for even saying that especially when you are a Champion of Skorm." He reprimanded, She merely rolled her eyes and got out her bladed pistol and pointed it at his stomach.

"I can say whatever the Skorm I want and I don't appreciate crew members speaking unless spoken to." He merely squinted his eye at her.

"I will not speak then Champion."

"Good and to make sure were clear on that." She pulled the trigger to her gun and it fired. The guards behind Luna started formatting a defensive perimeter around Luna and the main six. Runt fell down to the side clutching his stomach were he had been shot. Alendia re-holstered her bladed pistol and turned around to see the sudden increase of guards pointing various weapon at her. And her men also pointed their weapons at them as well. She merely held her faux face and resumed her position of standing while also lowering a finger still counting down.

"Well now that that matter is taken care of may we resume our conversation." They all seemed to stare at her and thought she might be crazy.

"May we ask why thou shot your own crew man?" Luna asked warily, Alendia simply shrugged and said sarcastically.

"Because he has been asking for it for a long time." A groan could be heard from Runt as he slowly got up to rejoin Alendia. "Ah see he's fine." He wasn't really for he was bleeding from the bullet hole in his stomach. Runt merely closed his eyes and casted Heal Life, his body glowed for a moment and he took his hand away from the wound were it was healed. He then stood at attention being quiet from then on. Luna stared warily at Runt thinking how sorry she was for him to have a cruel leader. And at the remarkable healing process that he had. She then decided that Alendia was a most heinous villain that needed to be destroyed or at least imprisoned. Bringing out her rapier she motioned for the guards to let her through, which they complied. She pointed her Rapier at her and shouted.

"Thou are a villain and I hereby place you under arrest in the name of the Equestrian Kingdom." Alendia raised her eyes at this and sighed.

"Your Funeral." All of her fingers went down and she drew out one of her throwing knives from her sleeve and threw it straight at the Princess. The rest of her men all promptly fired their weapons as well.
