I fired a magic bolt at a charging enemy. "Doctor! I don't think I can last much longer!" I yelled.
"I'm working on it!" He yelled back.
We had taken a position inside the crumbling castle. Celestia's army formed a half circle around us. Things didn't look good. The Doctor was fiddling with a key and his screw driver thing. I was holding them back with a combination of shield blasts and magic bolts. The unicorns of Celestia's army charged a magic blast together and fired it. I used my magic to raise a piece of ground and deflect the magic.
I'm so tired.
The stone slab fell on the floor. As the dust cleared I could hear magic blasts shooting out. One hit me directly on the chest plate. The impact was enough to push me back. When I looked up there was a wave of magic to close for me to block. I stiffened up and took the blast. The force behind it was so extreme it knocked my armor off. I was lifted off my hooves and thrown backwards by the impact of the magic blast. I slowly got up, but I knew there wasn't much more I could do.
"Doctor stay behind me."
They got closer and closer with evil grins on their face, and their horns glowing.
Lived a thousand years, but this is where it ends.
Suddenly a gust of wind passed an a strange noise rang in the air. My view on the soldiers was being blocked as something appeared around me and the Doctor. The last thing I could see was the soldiers letting the magic shot fly, then I was looking at a blue door. I allowed myself to relax.
"See there's the old girl. She's always there when I need her." The Doctor said happily.
I turned around and watched as he fumbled around with the large circular thing in the middle. "Any closer Doctor and we would've been roasted."
He brushed his mane back. "Well that's the fun way of living life. Anyway, The tardis has had enough time to scan and learn the land, and she repaired herself. Now where are we going?"
"Can the tardis search for the most powerful sources of energy in the land?" I asked while trotting up to the desk thing.
He put a hoof under his chin. "Well I don't see why not."
He flipped switches and moved a box in front of him. I could tell he was frustrated as his large hooves tried to work the components on the desk.
"Okay lets see what we got here. I have two large sources of power. One is far to the west and the other is closer to us. I'll presume the closer one is the evil white pony. So I will lock on to the west and."
He threw a lever and the tardis started to shake. "Allons-y!"
The machine didn't sound to well and I saw the Doctor's eyes go wide.
"No no no NO!"
The sound was scary as the tardis violently shook, throwing me and the Doctor off our hooves.
"I'm guessing it's not suppose to make that noise." I yelled while trying to get my hooves under me.
The Doctor was actually standing and grabbing random levers and spinning a weird wheel. "Something is causing a paradox and the tardis refuses to fly."
"Equin Doctor!"
"She won't fly because something is stealing her energy to keep the world stable." He shouted. "Prepare for impact!"
When the tardis hit the ground we were thrown against the wall on the opposite side of the room. I was upside down and the Doctor was laying on his stomach.
"That could have been much worse." He said as he stood back up.
I pushed myself off the wall and landed on my stomach. "Worse? Worse how?"
"Well... we could have ripped a hole in the planet and got stranded there." He said in a matter of fact tone.
"Wonderful. Now where did the tardis take us?" I asked, now standing and moving for the door.
"It seems that we're closer to the power source to the west, but it looks like we still have a distance to get there. Plus the tardis isn't going anywhere. It's going to be a long walk."
I sighed. "Well I guess we better get galloping."
The Doctor smiled and grabbed his screw driver with his hoof. We headed out the door and started through a forest. Eventually we found a dirt path and followed that to the setting sun in the west. Me and the Doctor went back and forth about the adventures we had been on. He told me about places I couldn't even dream of. The time he's lived and the things he's seen rival and probably beat anything either princess had experienced. I would tell him about my travels in the void. The tall grass lands, and the wide open deserts were amazing. I told him about this mountain with a large lake at the bottom. The lake was so clear that it was like looking into a mirror. There were two mountains, and an extra deep blue sky that stretched on forever. He enjoyed me stories and I enjoyed his.
---------------
After a couple days of trotting down the path with out seeing anypony, we finally stumbled on a town next to a large river. The town was surrounded with high stone walls and large banners with crescent moon's on them. This was a war town. We reached the gate and a two guards held there spears crossed.
"With what alliance are you?" He asked.
"I have no side. I need to get past this town." I replied coldly.
"This land belongs to the New Lunar Republic. You shall not pass." The guard replied without flinching.
"Ah good. I just wanted to make sure. Listen I have vital information about the Dark Warrior." I said while looking around.
The guards dropped their 'tough pony' act and almost dropped their spears. "That's just a legend."
"Yeah! He really doesn't exist." the other guard chimed in.
I smiled. "Then I must not exist. I mean after a thousand years, I haven't aged that much."
The guards started to get angry. "Why do you waist our time?"
"Easy guys. I have something that will prove I'm Lighting."
"Show us fool. We are tired of you speaking nonsense." Barked the guard.
I used my magic to pull out my journal from my saddle bad. They stared at the book and wondered how that had anything to do with the great Dark Warrior.
"Well, go on. Open it, and all will be reviled."
They took the book and opened it. The few pictures I had in the book depicted night time with stars in the sky. The flipped through pages of my book until they fell upon the most important drawing. Luna while she looked at her own sky. They both looked up at me with their mouths open and nothing to say.
"The stars.... A-and the Princess. It's... It's impossible."
"I am here. I am the Dark Warrior."
"SIR! WE APOLOGIZE FOR OUR MISTREATMENT OF YOU!" They shouted in unison.
I cringed. "It's fine, but please, tone it down a little."
"Sorry sir." The guard on the right stepped forward. "Sir my name is Jet Stream and this is my friend Storm Cloud."
"It's a pleasure to meet you. My real name is Lighting Bolt and this is my friend, The Doctor."
"Hello" He said from behind me.
Jet Stream signaled a pony the the top of the wall and the door started opening. "Please enter. You must be tired and hungry. Please stay the night and in the morning, continue your journey to.... Actually I hope you don't mind me asking, but where are you going?"
"It's a good thing you brought that up. I need to get to Princess Luna's castle. I have a way to stop the war." I said while looking around.
"Ah that's simple. Take a boat and follow the river until you reach the ocean. Her castle is at the end of the river, just before it turns into the ocean." He said with a smile.
"Thank you."
Storm spoke up. "Sir. If it's not to much of a bother, can you please inform the other stallions of your arrival. It would be a great moral boost to know the war is ending soon."
"Of course. Call them here."
Storm Cloud and Jet Stream took off as fast as they could spreading the word that the war was coming to and end. The informed everypony to head to the center of the little war village. Slowly they gather and sat down waiting for the me to speak. When Jet and Storm took their places next to me and the Doctor, I stood forward.
"Stallions of the New Lunar Republic. I am the fabled Dark Warrior."
Jet joined in. "It's true. He has a book with a depiction of the night sky, with stars in it."
Storm spoke as well. "And he has a drawing of the princess before her transformation."
There were gasps and light chatter.
"I have come back after a thousand years to stop this war and make peace though the land. I have a way to end the war peacefully and I promise, you will all be allowed to go home soon. "
The stallions started cheering and stomping their hooves on the ground.
------3rd person. Solar Empire.------
Empress Celestia stood on a ledge of her castle addressing twenty thousand soldiers.
"There is a threat to the empire's safety out there. A warrior with great power has surfaced and has eluded our grasp. This pony must be caught and killed on site at all costs. We must do this to protect the great and bountiful Empire. All soldiers will advance into the Republic and take all towns. I want to make myself clear in this next statement. There will be no prisoners and no hostages. You will kill everypony you make contact with on the other side of the front lines. This will secure the Empire and nothing will stop us. We will have..... Peace."
Soldiers cheered in approval and started marching out the castle entrance.
"FOR THE EMPIRE!" Celestia shouted.
"FOR THE EMPIRE!" They repeated.
This is the night I have waited a thousand years for. The final battle. He will NOT beat me this time. My sisters foolish army will be crushed, her lover will be dead, and I shall rule all of Equestria!
"MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
