//------------------------------// // Rising conflict 3 // Story: The Ironman : Garden of Millennium // by worst day with sunny sky //------------------------------// A/N I did not proof this one. I was in hurry. It's always sad to be a Korean... Sniff...Sniff... Why Ay can't wighee enigrsh Righeeet? It was busy… and lonely… no it was just only busy. She had no time to even think about that because she was putter all her efforts in to royal documents. How many days… or weeks she has been working… she just had no clues. And how many papers left those she has to work on? Well, it looked infinite to her. There was no end. Her eyes were highly congested with blood, and made her ache every time. She stopped for a moment to catch a breath and started look over her vigorously written words and documents. She thought for a moment. ‘I guess it would not inflict that much of problem even though I go meet my dear sister…’ Then she slowly steadied her front hooves to stand up with her grayish dark blue coated legs. As she tried stood up, she accidently loose her balance and right collapsed back. She looked up to the ceiling of her beautiful room. Covered with glittering dots of diamonds and rubies just simulated night sky, and with her enchantments made her beautiful gemstones shine brightly like real star. She wasn’t jealous of her sister’s white colored majestic room, because her night skied room was even more beautiful and show vastness of night sky to every pony who enters. Like an endless seas of darkness with wisp floating everywhere, there was nothing to compare to her majestic room. And this made her to do something really essential to do in her life. Sleep. She fall back to the floor and stretch out her wings and legs, and gave out a big yawn. Just a quick brake won’t cause destruction to Equestria, anyway. She slowly closed her heavy eye lids to shut her blood shocked eyes. And then… Boom!!!..... Shit!!!! The incandescent light illuminated out of nowhere, and that caused her to jump. Luna stared at the light and started to notice the familiarity. Her sister, Celestia. Why is she here? Isn’t she suppose to be in her court and taking civilian’s random stupid problems? Maybe she is just taking a break, just like her. No, that can’t be true because her face looked dead serious. So, asking a question is much better than never. She quietly and nervously asked her a question. “What seems to be coil thy, my dearest sister?” However, the result was not how she wanted to hear. “If you speak to me in that bucking ancient language, Luna, I will bucking send you to the moon!” Luna’s ear perked down and tear started to form in her eyes. Her head hanged low, and aimed at the pointless ground. “I am so sorry, sister! But it is so painful to o’er-raught… I mean, so difficult to speak to thy with… I am so sorry!!! It’s…sniff…too hard…” Luna started to burst small tears from her eyes, and that made her eyes to ache more. But poor luna cound't help herself. She thought, 'Why is my sister gone mad today? She never had been so mean... And why am I acting so weak? I am strong... No... I am weak and pointless being. And I tried to take over my sister's throne...’ "Luna! If you don't stop crying, I swear I will send you to the sun!" With loud booms of Celestia's voice, Luna started rise her head, with watery eyes. “I...sniff... So sorry....I...am...sniff. Sniff.” “Oh shut up, WE HAVE MORE IMPORTANT MATTER TO DISGUSS.” It seemed something important, after hearing her sister’s serious tone, her eyes perked up. “W..What ...sniff...is it, sister? Sniff sniff...” “Do you remember my faithful student Twilight sparke?” Luna was becoming little steadier than last time, and put her all efforts to stop her streaming emotions. “Yes, of course I do my sister? Isn’t she the one who freed me from the Nightmare? And the one who assisted me to help me socialize with others?” “Yes, and she was pony napped and go alert every pony!” "But how was she captured? Isn’t she is the one of the most talented unicorn pony in all around Equestria?” “That is not so important right now. What’s important right now is that we must rescue my prized pupil at all cost and kidnapping my student means it wants challenge to Princesses of the Equestria, and it is right that one of us will fall. But it is the monster that will fall. Not us. Now, Luna I need all support that you can give. We do not know what this monster is capable of.” Luna never had seen Celestia like this before. It looked like that she was going to rise all her armies. And especially of her blood shocked eyes and her uncombed mane made Luna terrified. But she did not hesitate to answer. “Of.Of. Of course!!!” It was her sister whom she fears the most. Luna was an alicorn, sister of Celestia, goodness of sun, and co-ruler of Equestria. She thought she would be extremely exciting to come back to Equestria, and planned so many things to do, but 1000 years of banishment changed everything. Her country, homeland was not hers anymore. The castle that she and Celestia used to stay with their parents was just an ancient ruin that is ready to be forgotten… All the landscapes and climates changed. Where used to be forest turned in to high mountains… Where used to be a swamp turned in to beautiful ocean. Nothing was familiar to her. Nothing… There was a cultural conflict between ancient and newborn. New magic and new technology started to take a form in Equestria. She was only one to be different. And no one wanted to stay with her. No one even cared about her existence. Her sister… was not her sister she knew millennia ago. It was her sister who banished her to the moon. It was her sister to control the sun and moon. It was her sister who now dominated over her. She didn’t belong here. She didn’t belong to Equestria. She didn’t belong anywhere. Her moon and her night betrayed her and followed Celestia’s orders. There was nothing she can rely on to. She just wanted to be gone. She just wanted to disappear. And now, she was following her sister’s orders to kill and rescue her sister’s prized star pupil. She didn’t want to kill no pony. She hated violence. She may appear to be terrifying, but she was not like that. But sins that she made long time ago, and her dark power made them do that, and it was inevitable. Yeah… She always thought she’d never get along with other ponies. Depression and bitterness all she get. Luna honestly never done this before. It was actually her first time to talk one of their soldiers. But she needed to help her sister. She will be quick. Luna quickly ran to her sister’s captain. “Captain, prepare for battle! It is a direct order from your princess!!” "Wow this is just amazing! So how does this work?" It has been a quite a long time since Twilight looked around the ship and everything she saw sparked her sense of learning. And of course, Tony told her almost everything he can, and she was note taking every single thing that Tony says. After few hours later…. Twilight was, of course, was defiantly in hyper mode. And now, Tony thinks that she asked to him more than hundreds of question and she was chronically keep saying same sentence over and over again. And her questions never stopped. "How were you able to create interdimentional Space Bridge? What kind of technology did you...?” Tony snapped as he let out a deep sign. "Twilight would you please? Uhhh... Why don't you go to Jarvis and ask him about all those questions?" Then Twilight happily answered, "Sure, Tony. But I don't .see him anywhere." Then sudden gentle voice with weird accent spoke out from nowhere. And the hologram. Started to form in front of her. "I am the ship itself, Miss Sparkle. So I was with you all along." Twilight seemed too stunned about Jarvis. "But you are a pony?" for a moment Jarvis was confused, but he got the meaning right after. "What? Oh! Well, this is just a hologram, it allow users to monitor, and can be created by manipulating oxygen atom's nuclear vibration, and by controlling electrons to gain quantum of energy. But, basically this is my fake body." "Then, why did you decided to be a pony?" Twilight still half confused. But Jarvis respond to that question with assuring tone. "Isn't a pony most comfortable to you? I can be others if you wish." it was right after that, Jarvis turned in to Princess Celestia, and mimicked her voice and her tone excellently. "Princess Celestia would be your most comfortable pony to speak to, am I correct?" While they did the talking, Tony decided to make a plan. And when every pony sees this, their jaw will be crapped like hell. Suddenly, Jarvis alarmed to announced an emergency situation. “Mr. Stark!!! Unidentified forces are heading towards us!” But of course, Tony had nothing to fear, and protested to his A.I. assistant. “Jarvis, there is nothing to panic. It must be little force or patrols coming by. I can take care of them. And you see, you are in Princess Celestia mod, and you might be able to…” Jarvis quickly cut off, “No sir, that could cause even more dangerous effect. You should look on the monitor…” Jarvis showed him a holographic screen, and as soon as Tony realized what just happened, he was half exited and half serious. “The real regal sisters of Equestria? Here?” “Yes, you are very correct sir…” Luna was little nervous about going out today. No, she was much more worried. She honestly had no idea what she’s going to do if somepony sees her. She obviously didn’t want to be spotted. Well, that was a stupid thinking… Sun was brighter than ever, and it has been a long time since she saw the sun for last time. Well… at least a year? As she fled next to Celestia, She saw something that she has never seen before, and her eyes dilated small, and her jaw dropped. Even Celestia didn’t believed her eyes and kept yelling about some pony is cursing her. Yeah… abnormal Celestia can be little… abnormal. It was grayish- metal object, and some parts were painted white. It also had thousand pieces of metal showing between the gap of the metal skin. And between those metal pieces, there were brilliant sky blue lights glaring. It’s design was somewhat innovative and futuristic. She asked to herself. ‘This thing is huge! I’ve never seen anything like it. It doesn’t look like it’s from Equestria, nor Griffonia. Maybe that could be the ponynapper’s hideout? If that is, then the enemy could be much more powerful than we might imagine. Oh… I don’t want to fight. Please, sister… don’t…’ Then… Something came out from the front nose. It looked… bipedal, and it seemed to be made out of metal… and it was flying without wings… What could that be?
