The Only Love for All

It was practice day, and Light said I should get some practice with the sword. So we walked out onto the training grounds for a duel. Light said that in this duel no magic was to be used unless you are creating a new sword. Light took the first swings.

I parried Lights swings with my ice sword. After a stroke or two I would counter-attack and send him back a couple steps. On his next swing I stepped back and then lunged forward, blade almost striking home before he slapped it out of the way. After about five minutes we had attracted a small group of recruits watching us spar. Light swung again and I blocked. My sword shattered from the impact and I already had a new one in my hand half a second after. Light stopped and said, “Very good Ice your are becoming a fine swordsman, but that block would have cost you your life on the battle field.” I nod and say, “I know, but I had a sword ready almost as soon as you shattered the first, I was using it as a distraction.”

“Then I guess you didn’t see that I already won.” He said pointing to my stomach. I look down and sure enough there is a dagger sticking out of it. I pull it out and heal myself, then ask, “What’s next?”

He smiles at my thought to continue.

“Next we should see how strong your shields are.” He answers. I nod and make a shield of ice and hold it at the ready. His face turns grim and he launched his attack. First were light arrows. I knew my shield was strong enough to take those any day. Next were spears, these were trickier because they were heavier, but I handled them all the same. I wasn’t prepared for what came next. Light had shot at my shield with his light pistol. The light pulses it shoots had pierced holes in my shield. I quickly changed the shield to black ice and it reflected the pulses away. I knew what was coming next, Light always tried to see if I could stop his lightning blast every time we trained my shields. I braced myself for the blast. I waited, and waited, and waited. It never came because of what happened next.

“Specters are requested to the throne room immediately!” called a guard. I evaporate my shield and run towards the castle entrance. As I enter the throne room with Light, I see everyone is already here. The Princesses are standing next to the thrones and waited for us to get into the lineup.

“Now that you are all here, I have a mission I want you all to handle. There is a crisis in Manehattan, the Changelings are attacking. I want you all there to protect the citisences and I need you their yesterday, Understood?” She asks. We all nod in response.

“I need you all to gear up and be ready to go, meet in the courtyard when ready.” said Light in his commanding ‘I’m in charge’ voice. We all teleported to our rooms to get our armor and weapons. I land in my room and scare Chrysalis to death.

“What’s going on?” she asked in a concerned voice.

“The changelings are attacking Manehattan.” I reply as I put my armor on, and then strap my sword around my waist. Chrysalis stands give me a good luck kiss and I teleport out to the courtyard. When I land I see Light, Death, Fire, Air, and Earth waiting on the others. Harmony and Chaos show up next followed by Life and Dark. Light reaches his hand towards the sky as we all teleport out of Canterlot and into Hell.
