Renewing Chaos
The first equestrian eclipse
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"And that's how Equestria was made!" said the same voice from behind me that yelled at me in hyper speed a couple hours ago.
"Wait, what? That's no-" I try to say, until she interrupts me.
"By the way, your party will be at Sugarcube corner at eight, be surprised and don't be late!" She said, then immediately ran out the door.
"May I ask, before I'm bombarded with question, how did she get in here? I didn't even sense her approaching, and I can sense that ant over there." I said, pointing a hoof at a single ant about 20 meters out the door.
This got Twilight's attention, "Sense her? You can sense things? How? And what else can you do? You must have a couple more abilities other than just the one, so can you explain the know ones? Can we do a test afterwards to find unknown ones?" she said, getting out a quill, some ink, and a notepad.
I leaned over to Rainbow and whispered "See, bombarded by questions..." She couldn't help but laugh.
"WELL" I said, standing up and getting ready to demonstrate, "First thing I figured out I could do was use telekinesis." I said, floating away the items Twilight grabbed easily, even with her resisting. "Second thing I figured out was the ability to use pressure" I then proceeded to crush the ink bottle with extreme ease. "Third was pyromancy." I burned up the notepad. She got very mad and pushed harder to take away the quill, which was the last one left, to no avail. "Next, Ice and nature." The quill froze in an ice block from water that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was pierced as soon as it appeared by a vine coming from the tree.
"No! Why did you do that!" Twilight screamed, angered by my destruction.
"Then, recovery and healing." Then out of the ashes, broken ice parts, glass, and ink started to glow white, and were put right back together and on the table as if nothing happened to them at all. To further prove my point, I gestured to my back, which I didn't heal. They gasped in response as the white glow appeared on my back and completely healed it.
"Wow... even I can't do all of that..." Twilight said, flabbergasted by my demonstration. "But there are still some things you can't do!" She said, looking a bit more proud, and hitting me in the arm out of pride.
"Twilight, I thought you hated boasting after what happened with Trixie. The first time, I mean." I said, looking annoyed that she didn't let me continue my demonstration.
"How did you know about that?!" She asked, shocked at my sudden knowledge of her past. Rainbow just giggled.
"Well, with even a second of touch, I can read someones memories and personalities." She started to look somewhat embarrassed, to which Rainbow just laughed even more. "Don't worry, I don't look at weird fantasies, that's just not cool." I said, reassuringly. She brightened up at this, but still didn't speak, letting me go on so I didn't embarrass her more. Quick learner.
"After that, I quickly became very masterful with the elements, going as far as, with some strain, controlling the sun and moon. Even creating small ones for a short amount of time."
"Oh my Celestia..." They both said at the same time.
"What?" I asked, confused.
"Not even Celestia has the power to make a small sun or moon for a short amount of time, and they are the strongest magic users in Equestria, raising the sun and moon each day..." Twilight explained, looking amazed.
"I bet that's just a lie! Only Celestia and Luna has control over the Sun and Moon! If you can do this stuff, prove it!"
"How? I could do change their position for a second or so, and change them back, going one full day, but wouldn't that anger this 'Celestia' and 'Luna'?" I said honestly concerned.
"That is very wise thinking indeed, Thunderhead." Said a very regal voice behind me. I didn't turn around, because I already knew they were there.
"Hello, Celestia, I could sense your magical influence from a mile away. I could tell you just appeared there, so want me to explain the other magics I can do?"
"No, no, I can already tell you have control over the elements. Including the sun and moon. Care to demonstrate?" She asked me in such a tone that I had to turn around and bow to her. What? She was the ruler, had a voice like a choir on the brightest of days, and wasn't constantly demanding respect.
"Rise, Thunderhead. Please, show us a demonstration of your powers over something not even we can control."
"YES, PLEASE SHOW US THIS POWER!" Said the midnight blue alicorn behind Celestia. This has been confirmed as Luna.
"Yes, please try not to speak so loud." I deadpanned. My face brightened up quickly and said, "Alright, please, follow me outside, and try not to hide behind your sister, Luna. I knew you were there. Can't hide from one who can see with no eyes."
We all walked outside, following me. Luna looked surprised at what I said, before giggling and following us.
We ended up in town square, I was on a stage on the right of Celestia, and Luna on the left of Celestia. It seemed like everypony in town came to see Celestia speak. I didn't sense her cast any spell that would inform everypony, so I guess it was rare for her to come down here.
"Hello, my little ponies, I am here with my sister to not show you something, but to be part of the crowd and watch this" She gestured to me, "pony here do something only I have done, and something only me and my sister have done at the same time!" She announced, leaving everypony wondering what was going to happen. Princess Luna spoke up.
"This pony is named Thunderhead, know him well, because we suspect he is more powerful than we are! He claims to have control over the elements, including the sun and moon, so we're going to test this theory in front of everypony here!" She announced. Looking at me she said, "Well, let's get the show on the road!" She then sat with her sister in two chairs at the side of the stage where everypony could see them.
I got up to the middle of the stage, confident in what I was about to do. Nopony had ever done it, it seems, and I was going to be the first. Then the show started. My front hooves glowed white with a large amount of white sparks coming off of them. My wings flared as I rose into the air, my eyes filling with pure power, becoming very very white. I was at least 10 feet off the ground now, not being fully aware of my surrounding, I focused on the sun and the moon at the same time. Black sparks trickled off me at least 5 per second, looking like embers of pure power, and hitting the ground. The moon started to rise up from the horizon, and the sparks fell more often. The sun struggled to move away, but I kept it there, against what it wanted. The moon inching ever closer, eventually moving strait in front of the sun to make an eclipse. It lasted for a good minute before my power died down, and I slowly fell to the ground. The sun bolted away, making it become night. I noticed this, and used almost the rest of my power to make it the next day but the right time. I finally hit the ground, feeling drained for a few seconds before the magic came back.
I looked around the crowd, including the princesses, and all I saw were dumbfounded faces, each and every one awed in my demonstration of power, and started cheering as loud as possible. Not wanting to hear it, I decided to teleport away to the library with Celestia and Luna in a flash of white light.
They were both awed at me, and bowed. Not expecting this, I just went on instinct. "Rise, princesses. You need not bow to me." I said, in my best regal tone as possible.
"But.. but.." was all Celestia could say. She couldn't find the words, but Luna came to her rescue.
"What she is trying to say, is that neither of us suspected you to be capable of that. Even we, at the same time, can't make an eclipse. Only at the highest point of power can we do that, and we still end up fainting after it. But you... you don't seem phased in the slightest, and you even moved the sun and moon back in their places when finished. AND you teleported us away! How?"
"I-" Was all I could say before Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie pie, and two others barged into the library, very angrily. That seems like a tradition in this town, something new? Get angry. Just like humans!
"What the tartarus was that?!?" Said Twilight. She bumped into me again, letting me figure out the names of the other two and who they were. The white one with the overly styled purple mane and tale was Rarity, and the Orange one with blond ponytails (Hehe, ponytails on a pony) was named Applejack.
"Twilight! Such rude talk to the most powerful pony in Equestria!" Both Celestia and Luna said.
"Woah, I wouldn't say that, I'm just a pegasus, and you two are alicorn princesses! I can't be that."
"What do you mean most powerful pony in Equestria?!" Rainbow shouted at them, not noticing me or what I said.
"Don't worry, I know exactly how you feel" Said Fluttershy to me, giggling. I felt like I didn't exist, just watched.
"Rainbow dash, Twilight, this pony here did something none of us could ever think of doing! He made an eclipse! We could never do that without years of preparation! This pony has shown he is capable for so much more than us! I'm not surprised he didn't turn into an alicorn with all the magic he used." Said Celestia.
"Are ya telling us that this pony right 'ere" She pointed at me, "is stronger than ya are? I don know if'n I can believe that. But I sense the honesty in your voice, so I don know what t'do." Applejack stated, obviously confused.
"Can someone please list-" was all I said before being interrupted yet again by somepony who hadn't noticed me.
"Look, we don't really know how he did it, but it still happened nonetheless. All we can do is accept that he is stronger. We can sense that he had only good intentions, if the fact that he hasn't destroyed Ponyville so far is proof enough, we would have him taken away and interrogated to prove he wasn't a threat if we weren't sure." Explained Luna, looking kindly at me.
Just then, I noticed all the magical residue was being absorbed by one creature who didn't show up as any particular animal, but many at once. I listened in on it's thoughts silently, not letting myself be noticed. "hehehehe... those ponies think me to be reformed, but now that I have gathered this much chaos from the air, I can start planning my revenge." I didn't know who it was, and I didn't know its intentions. But from what I hear, it was planning revenge. I didn't think it to be anything, but decided to stay updated by it, just to be sure. Oh, how I was wrong...
