//------------------------------// // The final brother. // Story: Chaos Rising. // by Totito30 //------------------------------// J´zar and the mares appeared, yet again, in a manmade structure, this time a skyscraper. The building had at least seventy stories. "¿Where are we?" asked Rainbow Dash. "He...He..." J´zar was confused. ¿Why Trickster didn't bring them back to dimension where the mares had been born? "Trickster..." "I forgot something, mere mortals" Trickster aclaimed form his metallic prision "I couldn't allow you to forget my big brother" Trickster laughed with his characteristic insane pitch. J´zar felt a chill running dow his back and he noticed how his eyesight sharpened to notice anything unusual. But he failed to see anything, except the fackt that the floor they were in was entirely empty save for the pillars connecting it to the next floor. Another strange thing was the lack of stairs or elevators leading into that floor. J´zar wondered why would someone put such an empty space in the middle of a building. Then he realized that since they had just traveled through dimensions, essentially everything was possible. "¿Did he just said something about another borther?" Twilight Sparkle said. She and the other mares then started a very quick discussion, but J´zar payed no attention. He had just seen what looked like avery large shadow passing over the building. He couldn't hear well because of the mare's arguing. "Silence" He said with strenght, and the mares almost instantly went quiet. "¿What is it, J´zar?" Twilight said, walking over to him. "I think..." J´zar heard a low cutting sound, like a wing running through air. The mares noticed, but they didn't care much, thinking it was the wind or something similar to it. BUt J´zar knew his luck too well how to be fooled so easily. "¡GET DOWN!" he screamed, grabbed the nearbiest mare, (who turned out to be Rarity) and threw her to the ground. He then followed her into the concrete floor. He prayed for the other mares to obey his command. He heard the crash before feeling it. J´zar heard the sound of something very large hitting one side of the building, and the shattering of glass. J´zar then felt the small pieces of debris hitting his shoulders, back and legs. J´zar smelled a terrible scent of blood and decaying flesh, but he still found the strength to raise his eyes and look at what had hit the building. It looked like a huge bat. But it was not. To begin with, the piece of chaos had no hair. Second, it had a wingspan of at least five meters. The creature used the talons in its wings to crawl into the hole it had just made in the building. J´zar quickly reached for his sword, but the monster leaped and pinned him to the ground before he could do so. Whatever that thing was, it had amazing strenght. J´zar used his free hands to barely manage to hold the creature's great jaws open in front of his face. Ordering his thoughts, J´zar smashed a knee into the beast's neck and pushed the head away from himself. The monster tried to sink his gargantuan fangs into J´zar's chest, but the warrior had already slipped between a small space between the leathery wings of the beast and the floor. "¡Turn around, fool!" Tricksters voice said, and, surprisingly, the beast obeyed. "¡¿That thing is your brother?!" J´zar yelled, finally unsehathing his sword "¡¿Does he even have a name?!" "I think it was something with J... But no, I cannot remember" Trickster said. J´zar had no more time to speak as the giant bat turned to him and charged again. J´zar pulled out the orb from his pocket and activated the device. The monster was engulfed by the flash of light, but when J´zar managed to see his enemy, the creature was merely stunned. However, it quickly recovered and rampaged towards J´zar yet again. The man readied his sword. The monster jumped on him, and J´zar felt his body hitting the ground, as his legs pushed against the chest of the creature. J´zar had his face (yet again) below the maw of the beast. J´zar used one of his hands to forcefully stab his blade into the exposed throat above him. Droplets of blood fell on his face. It refused to die, however, and J´zar was now locked in palce, since the only thing holding the beast from ripping him to pieces was his sword. J´zar used the free hand to forcefully slam the orb against the bellie of the monster. His armored finger managed to accidentally press the button and another flash of blinding light ensued, but this time, the creature finally dissappeared. J´zar stood up. He looked at the orb in his left hand, now containing all the pieces of chaos. "Come on, Trickster" J´zar whispered "Take us back to the dimension we started. I want to be there before dinner" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- J´zar and the mares appeared in the outskirts of Ponyville, but yet again the scenery had changed. This time, it was almost full night, and it was snowing. The snowflakes started to perch on J´zar's armor as if they were a flock of white birds. J´zar barely had time to think about everything that had happened when he heard several muffled screams and he returned to reality suddenly. He quickly saw what had impressed the mare so much. A crowd of men and was reunited, forming a circle around a campfire. Around them there were many tents, standing like trees in a forest. J´zar advanced towards them with determination. "¡¿Who goes there?!" one of the men asked when he heard J´zar and the mares approaching. He got up and turned around, pulling a knife from his sleeve. "It is J´zar who speaks, your Principal, I think" J´zar hadn't stopped walking when the other man spoke, and he was now standing in front of his listener "I have to talk with Sp´hre" The watcher looked at him and quikcly adopted a respectful tone. "Of course, my lord. Follow me" he said as he walked away. J´zar quickly followed, and so did the mares.
