//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 // Story: Fooled by One Killed by Many // by Nightmarity19 //------------------------------// Walking through the streets of Ponyville the pendant glowed causing ponies to argue among each other unknowing that their anger was giving him more power with each passing moment. Tia took Redheart away from him and now he wanted revenge on Princess Celestia to avenge Nurse Redheart by any means he saw fit and no pony was about to stop him from doing it. "It's time to take out the trash," said Starter as his voice turned cold as ice. Luna sensed anger and evil intentions coming towards the castle, from the shock on Luna's face told the whole story. "Oh no...not this, now now!" said Luna as she went into the throne room but she was too late. On the ground was Celestia covered in blood, horn and wings ripped out of her body leaving nothing but a pool of blood. A flash of Adagio standing by her son which frightened Luna to the bone. "My beautiful baby boy you have done so well and mommy is so proud of you," said Adagio with a wicked smile. Luna didn't know how to respond so she stood there frozen in fear thinking that he was going to kill her next. Starter turned around to Luna's direction and walked over to the moon princess but instead of killing her he embraced her and Luna stroked his mane lightly. "I understand little one I am deeply sorry for Tia's mass hysteria towards you and your mother," apologized Luna. Adagio's ghost hugged Starter along with Redheart's ghost as to show that he still has ponys that still care about him. "I'm in so much pain," started Starter as tears fell down his face. "It's ok to feel pain now and then it shows that your healing. Take it from somepony who was on the moon for 1000 years I can sympathize," explained Luna. Outside the castle, a stallion with red hair carrying a sword was standing along side a mare that had green hair with red streaks smirking at the red haired stallion. "That must be the siren boy Princess Celestia was talking about," said Ravendeath (Red haired stallion) "Yes that is him, master will be pleased and then give us a reward," said Carmilla (Green hair with red streaks mare) "You hope so," answered Ravendeath as they walked away. Luna agreed to teach Starter to better use his siren powers and not go power hungry like what happened to Tia earlier. After 180 hours of intense training Luna let Starter take a breath or go eat some lunch if he wanted. So he went to a hayburger place and ate by himself from the ponies who were staring at me weirdly. Carmilla shape shifted into a right in front of Firestarter who looked up to this pony who was as beautiful as ever. "Hello there cutie my name is Carmilla," introduced Carmilla as she extended her hoof. "Firestarter Dazzle son of Adagio Dazzle," responded Starter as he shook her hoof. "Why sit all alone by yourself dearie? It's not fun when your alone," asked Carmilla. "Sometimes it's better that way," responded Starter. Carmilla shook her head in disappointment. "Listen Starter your little stunt with Tia was cool to watch but I can teach you so much more than Luna will ever teach," explained Carmilla almost trying to seduce him with promise of dark powers. "Well I guess at least trying it out couldn't hurt," said Starter. Carmilla flashed a wicked smile that spread from ear to ear. "Excellent so I'll see you by the everfree forest at midnight tonight got it?" asked Carmilla curling her tail under the table. "Got it," sad Starter with a smile on her face. Carmilla left the restaurant with her tail swaying as she walked out and it felt as if Starter was in love with that mare even if it was a trap or not he liked her style. Ravendeath waited by a tree for Carmilla to come out and when she did a smile spread across her face that might need to be surgically removed. "I'm guessing you got him on board with our plans to use that gem the boss wanted to use on him," said Ravendeath. "Yep all according to plan," exclaimed Carmilla as they both left. Luna went up to raise up the moon and went back to the castle to see Starter was no where to be found He probably went out to do some night training, still I should go find him thought Luna as she flew out the castle and into the air to find her apprentice. The moon shined over everything but Starter waited for Carmilla to arrive and when they she did Ravendeath was right beside standing by her side. "Oh I didn't think you had company Miss Carmilla I thought it was just you and me," said Starter. This was not going to be pretty. Luna was flying as fast as she could then she arrived right on time and stood between Carmilla and Starter. "You stay away from him! Starter I need you run, don't ask questions just go!" shouted Luna and he did as she instructed him to do. "Two on one I don't like your odds Princess Luna," said Ravendeath pulling out his sword. "Please I fought monsters that had 5 heads so fighting you two will be a cake walk for me," said Luna with heart and determination. They all ran at each other and clashed. Luna let out a loud yell of magic that blasted both Carmilla and Ravendeath that sprung them back to the trunk of a tree that split in two breaking both of their backs. Ravendeath slashed his sword at Luna and it hit her horn cracking it until her horn fell off which made Carmilla laugh, Luna had a shocked look on her face while Carmilla laughed like crazy. "Oh now your in for it now!" said Luna as she charged at them once again. "Go get the boy Raven, I'll deal with the moon princess," ordered Carmilla to Raven as he disappeared to go find the boy. Firestarter please be safe thought Luna as she hoped that her student would be ok.
