//------------------------------// // Chapter 15 The Gala Fiasco (part 3) // Story: Oblivions Mark // by Dj Star Flight //------------------------------// Michael kicked open the main hall doors where Celestia and a contingent of guards were holding up well. The guards came up just as Michael and the girls ran in and closed the doors behind them. "You called?" Michael said as he pulled Luna's bow off his back. "You got here just in time." Celestia said as he sister's horn was glowing a bit. A magical screen appear before the group. On the Screen a unicorn guard stood. "You Majesty. The forward garrison is holding at the main gates and evacuation efforts are under way but we don't know how long we can hold the horde of changelings off. We need reinforcements soon down here." "We will send troops soon. Hold out as long as you can." Luna said with a nod. "One more thing." the guard said. "We over heard one of there orders. They said something about obtaining the otherworlder." This comment made Michael's eyes light up. Luna nodded to the guard and cut the connection with a thanks. Michael stood there rubbing the back of his head. "It would seem that these changeling are here for you it seems Michael." Celestia said staring at him. "Like buck there getting our friend." Applejack spoke up. Michael turned to her at this comment in surprise. "I agree there. We'll fight for you Michael." Rainbow said with a nod. "You've cared for us so far. I think we can take care of you now in return as our friend." Fluttershy said as if in whisper. "Were here for you Michael." Rarity said as she fixed her mane. "we'll always be by your side because that's what friends do." Twilight said placing a hoof on his hand. "That's right! and maybe after this we can have another we saved Equestria party!" Of course pinkie would say that. Well duh i am the party queen ......NOOOOOOOOOO -Error- There we go. Had to take care of pinkies 4th wall breaking. I'll make a mention to her not to do that in the authors notes. Now back to the story. Michael stood there for a moment and in that split second had all 6 girls in his arms and wings in a giant hug. "Thank you all. I promise now I will always be there for you all whenever you need me." He said with a smile. "Oh how touching." A voice rang out in the room that Cause Michael to freeze in fear. He knew that voice. He knew it all to well. He looked up just in time to see the main doors blow off there hinges blowing the guards away. 'it can't be!' He stood up just as a tall changeling with wings and a horn stepped in with her horde flying around her and she had this wicked grin on her face. "YOUR DEAD!" "Am i? Its been way to long. My long lost brother." Chrysalis said. "BROTHER!" Everyone said looking from Michael to Chrysalis. "Oh didn't you know. ha ha ha I love this part. I think its time for a story. You see like my long lost brother here I was also not of this world." Flash back Michael. 8 years old was playing in his room with his legos by himself. He sat there building up a replica of the star wars death star when a knock came on his door. "Hey Big Bro! Can I come in?" Michael looked up to see his door open and a girl about one year younger then him came in. Her hair was a pitch black color going down past her arms and she wore what looked like a school mini skirt and a long sleeve shirt which was green. "Something wrong sis?" Michael asked as she sat down across from him. Crystal as she was called then picked up some legos and put them together. "Dad left for work already leaving us with the babysitter. I needed something to do." She said with a grin as he nodded and they built together. "Wanna go outside?" Crystal asked as Michael nodded and they proceeded down the stairs and into the backyard. After awhile of playing on the swing and sandpit out back they lay back on the grass and point out cloud shapes in the sky. "Hey bro?" "Yeh sis?" "You ever wonder about live out there?" She asked. She was always the smartest of them both. "You know I never think about that. Were to young to be thinking like that. I still wanna have fun." He said with a grin. "Right." She said as they lay there. "Look an Angel." she said pointing it out for him as he saw the shape and grinned. "Yeh.....wait...sis." "Yeh?" "Why is your finger glowing?" He said as he leaned up seeing her finger glowing as she did the same and face him looking at it in wonder. "I don't know....but...ow..its starting to hurt." She said. They then saw that the glow was moving up her finger quickly enveloping her hand and she started to scream out in pain. "BRO! It HURTS HELP ME!" He had no idea what to do as the glow moved up her arm as she screamed out. He tried to grab the glow to stop it but it burned his hand and he retreated. "I don't know what to do! SIS!" the glow then enveloped her entire body as the screaming intensified then a blast of light went off around her blowing Michael off his feet into the nearby tree knocking him out. The last thing he saw was an empty backyard. Flash back ends "You were gone. We had your funeral. Dad was mortified. I had to go to a psychiatrist because of what I saw and NOW YOUR HERE!" He yelled out that last part as he stood there. "What happened to you!" "Ah now there's the thing. I appeared here in the past. I appeared as I am now as a changeling in the desert. Others of my kind found me and took me in. I became stronger and became there queen and then I learned of the other kingdoms that hunted my kind for what they were. Now I am fighting back." she said as the swarm around her buzzed around ready to attack. "Celestia Luna!" Michael called out as he looked behind him to noticed that somehow the flying doors had rammed into both of them knocking them both out. "Oh that was lucky for me. TAKE THEM!" Chrysalis yelled out as the swarm flew in past there queen on the attack. "Step back." Michael said as the girls looked at him and quickly moved behind him. Time seemed to slow down around Michael as Sparks flew off him and his wings as he held out his hand to the oncoming swarm. Energy built up in his palm quickly right as he released it. The energy burst out of his hand like a shock wave blowing the horde of changeling away from him and his friends through the windows shattering them in a spray of glass and into the walls smashing the changeling to pieces leaving only Chrysalis standing. "Girls get the elements." Michael said to them as he stared at Chrysalis with a look of determination in his eyes. "Nuh uh. We ain't leaving yah." Applejack spoke up. "Like hell you ain't. Go get the elements and get back here. I gotta bone to pick with my sis." He said as Chrysalis prepared to lunge. The girls nodded and ran off down one of the opened side passages. "Now its just you and me sis." Michael said as he readied himself making his wings flair out. "I've been waiting for this for to long." she said ignoring the fact that he had destroyed her horde so quickly. They were nothing compared to her power. -------- "Come on girls we gotta hurry." Twilight said as they ran out of the castle quickly toward the treasury where the elements were being kept. As they ran past the gardens Rarity stopped for a second and was looking in at the statues. Something seemed off but her thought process was halted. "RARITY COME ON!" Rainbow yelled out as she ran after them. At the far end of the rows of statues there was one there that was just an empty pedestal. On the tablet it read 'Here lies discord. God of Chaos. Long may he be sealed' and just then the words suddenly changed to 'Long may he rule' and a silent laugh resounded throughout the garden.
