The room in which princess Twilight Sparkle was staying at, had dresses all over the floor. Red ones, blue ones, green ones, everywhere the eye could see. "Rarity it's just dinner nothing to worry about" Twilight cries trying to stop her friend while she was being measured. Rarity is a unicorn-blooded girl with Violet colored with a birthmark that look like three crystal on her back and she works in a boutique in a town called Ponyville.
"Twilight darling you simply can't just tell me to not worry about our double date with Flash and Spike, I want everything to be just perfect" say's Rarity as she tightens the measuring tape on the princesses waists and hips.
Just then a rainbow haired girl with blue wings and a birthmark of a thunder cloud with a rainbow colored lightning bolt on her hip, walks in followed by a blond girl wearing a brown hat and three apple looking birthmark on her right arm.
"Rarity..." the rainbow headed girl called out putting her hands on her hips "cut the princess some slack will you, like she said it's just dinner" Twilight tried not to smile at what her friend had said.
"Well excuse me if I was trying to keep everything prefect Rainbow Dash I am just trying to be a good friend" Rarity explain as Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes and tries to ignore her and turns her attention to the blond girl, "what's up Apple Jack you seem worried?"
Apple Jack did not say a word for a few seconds. "Oh it's nothing I was just wondering were Flutter Shy and Pinkie Pie have been up to?"
* * * * *
"Come on Flutter Shy were wasting time!" Pinkie cries as she puts her hands on her dark pink hair and a birthmark of three balloons on her left leg “we’re going to miss the train to Canterlot". In the distance a light pink hair Pegasus blooded girl with a birthmark of three butterflies, walks very slowly like as if she were to be worrying about something.
"Um... Pinkie I don't think ... I should have left angle bunny... well alone, he-"
"he'll be fine come on let's go!” Pinkie interrupted while grabbing Flutter Shy's arm and pulling her inside the train to Canterlot.
* * * * *
"They might have just missed the train" Twilight answered in a calm voice while Rainbow Dash shrugs her shoulders
"There!" Rarity shouts out of the random "all done now I will-" Rarity stops as she sees Twilight looking down at her feet with a worried face.
"What seems to be the trouble darling?" she asked with a frown.
"It's just that... I... sort of already picked out a dress”. As Twilight sat on her huge bed. She worried that her friend would be furious for making her waste her time.
"Oh... IDEA!! I'll just make a dress for the wedding" Rarity answers.
Twilight face turned completely red ""WHAT!!...no... nothing of such sort" she responds nodding her head trying to hide her blush while her friends laugh and smiled underneath princess Luna's night.
"Well then" Rarity said "what dress are you going to take?" she asked putting her hands on her waist
"Well I was thinking about the one you made me for the gala..." Twilight answered "can you make some adjustments for my wings please". Rarity was shocked that Twilight had kept the dress, she thought that Twilight might have already forgotten about that it.
"Of course darling I'll make the adjustments right away" Rarity announced. As she snapped her fingers all the tools she need had a light blue aura which made the tools float and went towards her working place.
"Will this take long" Rainbow Dash cried "I'm bored!"
"Dash your always bored-" as Apple Jack turned Rain Dash was already gone "dagnabbit RD" she whispers under her breath

In the tower of Princess Celestia, a loud slam came from her double doors as her younger sister dashed towards her bed with an exciting face "sister!!" cries Luna as she jumps on her older sister's bed waking her up from her slumber.
"SISTER...he's back our teacher is back!" in an instant Celestia shot open her eyes and got out of her bed and followed Luna to where their teacher was seen.
The two princesses walked to the library of spells. Princess Celestia was wounding where their teacher Star Swirl the bearded has been though out so many years even before Luna became Nightmare Moon he disappeared in thin air...or at least that's what the servants say that happened.
As the two princesses walked into star swirl's library, bells could be heard throughout the whole library. The sound stopped and from the distance a tall old age man with a long white beard and a pointy blue hat that has star and moons as well as his cape. As he laid a random book with his yellow aura.
"My students it has been such a long time. Has it not?" he asked as he put down his hat with his hands
"Teacher! It’s been so long-"
"There’s no time for talking" he interrupting Luna and looking at Celestia "there is a problem in the Crystal Empire" He said "and there isn't much time to tell you. My soul was the only thing that is here right now for you can see I have died. But I am here to warn the two of you that King Sombra is going to return to take the empire back with the help of the changelings."
Once Princess Celestia heard those words, she quickly looked at Luna. "Luna send a letter to princess Cadence and Shining Armor!" she orders her "tell them be prepared for anything!". Luna didn't hesitate,she quickly turned after saying goodbye to her old teacher and leaving the library.
Right before the older princess was about to talk, her teacher immediately interrupted her "Celestia there is something that you must know..."
"What is it... what's wrong?"
Star Swirl took a deep berth and sighed. "The two of you weren't the only rulers of Equestria..."
"wha...what are you saying?" She says confused
"What I am trying say is that you..." he stopped and looked at the wooden floor sighing once more "you have a brother..." Celestia gasped at what she had heard.
"I...I have-" she stuttered speech less
"Your brother is the same age as your sister Luna... he might be the only chance we have to defeat Sombra and Save the empire" he said. "But... the truth about him and the reason why you never knew him was....because of your father"
"My father?" Celestia asked "what is the truth...why didn't I know anything about him... why did you hide it from me!"
Her voice was getting louder.
The old man took a deep breath and said "When you were born your mother was having Luna and your brother at the same time. By the time she gave birth, he was born different, he was born with a gift which meant he would stronger than your father, and your father disgraced the poor child. Your mother told me to protect him at all cost...but your father got to him before I could, banishing him to the Everfree forest and chained him in Tartars so no one would ever find him." he said "I had to hide it from you because if you would've known where he was, your father was have killed you and -" as he tried to explain but he began to faded away.
"No! My time is up. Tell the new Princess and the Elements of Harmony to find him...they must find him before Sombra does, now go, your brother has a-!" He couldn't finish and slowly he was fading away.
"TEACHER!" she cried "He...he didn't tell me his name...oh my... what should I do?-" a loud crash of glass interrupted the princess.
"Ouch my head...OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! I am so sorry Princess Celestia I really didn't mean to crash in, I overheard about what you were saying but-"
"You heard the conversion?" Celestia asked interrupting Rainbow Dash.
"Yes...but I didn't mean to" she said in a shivering voice. She was worried that the princess would punish her for crashing through a window
"It's alright...although I need you to do something for me" said the princess
"Just tell me what you need and I'm on it!" Rainbow said instantly
"I need you to bring twilight and the others to this library as soon as possible". In an instant Rainbow was on her feet and flying out the shattered window
"You got it Princess!" she said and took out flying to find Twilight and the others.
* * * * * *
At a fancy restaurant Rarity and Twilight were waiting for their dates "all we need now is to wait for spiky to bring your man". Twilight's face turned red as she blushed.
"Alright here they come good luck surge cube" says Apple jack as they were leaving out the back door.
Flash tried to stay calm as he saw Twilight in her beautiful gala dress. He was next to spike. Both were wearing black tuxedos standing in front of the glass doors.
"How do I look?" he ask spike trying to fix his tie. Spike sighed and growled under his breath
"For the last time you look fine, stop worrying so much now come on lets go inside!" Spike pulled Flash inside the restaurant eager to see Rarity. In the distance Apple jack was watching outside of the restaurant.
"HEY APPLE JACK!!" a voice yelled behind her that made her jump in fright and find out that it was Pinkie pie who was followed by Flutter shy.
"PINKIE PIE!" said Apple jack trying to calm her heart down "why y'all sneaking up behind me like that!" she grown
"Oh we're very sorry we startled you Apple jack it’s just that, Pinkie was glad we made it on time" Flutter shy explained.
"So how's the double date going" pinkie asked putting her forehead on the glass.
"She's looking good so far." The three look through the window and see that Rainbow Dash crashing down the glass ceiling of the restaurant. The three girls just look confused "what the hay is Rainbow doing there?!" asks Apple jack.
"Oh oh maybe she has a date too. That would make it a triple date!" said pinkie pie. The girls kept looking until they saw everyone running through the doors
"Come on girls there's an emergency in the castle!" said twilight
As they dash to the castle a strange figure with four legs, howled in the darkness and more than a dozen figures crashed down making a small fog of dust in front of the girls and the two boys.
"It's been quite some time, has it not, pony girl" said the figure as it chuckled softly. The six girls were confused, they did not seem to know who they were until the fog faded way the animals soon became humans, and there, before them was an army of Diamond dogs surrounding them. "You seem surprised to see us". Immediately Flash stepped in front of Twilight pulling out his sword while Spike changes both of his hands into dragon claws as he was standing in front of Rarity as well. "There is no need for that." Said the leader with his deep dark voice " Fido, Spot, take a group of man a find the boy, but do not harm anyone in Canterlot, understand?" he order (Rover is the strongest of all three as leader of the diamond dogs he only wares a red vest, he has incredible speed and straight able to lift boulders fore times his side with one hand, Fido maybe strong but he is the less intelligent of all tree. Spot is a fast digger his ability to through knives is incredible and unpredictable. Fido and Spot both ware black vests)
"Aww Rover" joked Spot
"What are you doing here!" yelled Twilight
"Oh my apologies "princess" did we arrived unexpectedly?" says Rover
"NO!" a voice yells in the dark. Suddenly Princess Celestia lands on the ground landing in front of the girls and spreads her wings "I've been expecting you"
"So you know why we are here do you not"
Celestia looked down then turn to Twilight "Twilight" she said in a calm voice "stay out of this. No matter what, do not interfere, understood?"
"Okay, princess" says Twilight in a worried voice. As Celestia walks towards Rover. The other diamond dogs were ready to pull out their swords.
"NO!" commanded Rover "we need them alive!" once the princess was close upon him Rover spoke "there is no point in hiding him we will-"
"What is your purpose with him?" she asked in a deep voice. Before Rover could have answer a deep low laugh could be heard around the area.
"Who's there show yourself" ordered Rover
"As you wish" the man’s voice appeared behind the girls. The man was a Draconequus blooded (which he is an element of chaos but was defeated by Twilight and her friends and had a change of heart) who dressed in a brown leather coat with a black shirt underneath and brown pants. His hair black with a white line on the top. He began to walked toward Celestia and pushing her behind him as if he were to be protecting her. Rover growled under his breath and finally spoke
"Discord" his voice seemed to change to anger
"Hello Rover, I'm assuming that you’re looking for the boy?" asked Discord with a smile on his face.
The girls didn't see to know what was happening "what's going on who are they looking for?" Twilight asked Rainbow Dash
"Well when I left to find something fun, to do I over haired the princess talking to someone else" she began " they were taking about her mother, and Tartarus and a boy that was said to be her brother that she never even knew about" as Rainbow Dash kept telling Twilight about the princesses brother A different diamond dog from Spots group sprinted towards Rover and whispered to him saying that the princess was right, the boy was not in Canterlot.
"Is that so?" he responded smiling "Well...it looks like you were right princess I missed judged you after all" he snaps his fingers which makes his group dig holes in the ground "Oh and dragon" he says turning his back to spike "you and that boy there" he says pointing to Flash "wouldn't last a second facing me". He digs down and covering up his hole.
* * * * *
Just for a few minutes Celestia told the girls the whole story. "Star Swirl told me to tell you that you must go search for my brother. I was thinking he would still be in Tartarus, but it seems that there was a jailbreak in Tartarus" she stayed in silent.
"Um...Princess" said Applejack "If there was a jailbreak and he was able to sneak out of Tartarus. Then I reckon the closes place he could run off to would be-..." she stops as her eyes seemed to be wide open.
Twilight walked over to her "Applejack...is something wrong" she said putting her hand on Applejack's shoulder.
Apple jack finally spoke "he could be in Ponyvill..."
"Scootaloo!" cried Sweetie belle crossing her arms "we're definitely lost!" she said and turns to Apple bloom.
“I told y'all to take the left turn but no "let’s take the right turn to get to zecoras house" y'all didn't listen to me!" they argued.
"Well if you both could keep your mouth shut I'll be able to-"
"Did y'll see that?" said Apple Bloom interrupting Scootaloo
"What was it?" asked Sweetie belle
"I don't know but it looked like-"
"Look at this" Scootaloo pointed to a cave with wired pointy rocks
"Was that there before?" asked Sweetie belle
Suddenly a horrible smell came out of the cave like if the cave was exhaling "um...girls?" shivered Apple Bloom "I don't think that's a cave" she said walking backwards "that's a..." she stop as the cave seemed to be closing and starting to move. The girls gasped at the beast "CRAGADILE!!" she screamed "RUN!!" they yelled.
As they tried to out run it the cragadile seemed to stop following them.
"Did…Did we lose it?" Asked Apple Bloom gasping for air.
"Where did it go?" asked Scootaloo
"Don't know I hope-" a loud roar of the Cragadile and interrupted Sweetie bell "that sounds far from where we are" she replied "maybe it found something else to eat?" she looking at the other two.
Apple Bloom gasped "what if another person or Zecora!?" she cried "we have to help her!”
"But what if it isn't not Zecora and it's just a timber wolf?" asked Scootaloo
"You all don't know, that now do you?" the girls stayed silent "I thought so... now come on lets go see" she said as the girls followed her.
The girls kept following the tracks of fallen trees and scratch marks on the ground. Suddenly a puddle of blood was on the ground and the girls stopped
"Do you think this is Zecora's blood?" asked Sweetie bell
"I...I hope not?" Gasped Scootaloo, just than a bush began to shuffle
"Who's here?!" jumped Apple Bloom
"Move and you die..." a deep voice called out through the forest.
Scootaloo immediately picked a thick tree branch and held it with her two hands standing in front of Sweetie Bell and Apple Bloom "why don't you just come out here and fight me!"
Suddenly a tall shirtless boy with a bloody scars and short black hair walked out of a bush holding a black sword in his left hand and carrying Zecora on his back.
"ZECORA!!" shouted Sweetie bell "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!!” The boy laid Zecora down.
"I saved her before some wolfs and that thing could kill her" he said putting leaves on her cuts and bit marks. "This should stop the bleeding for now, but we need to get her to a hospital are she'll die for losing too much blood" he picked up Zicora again and told Scootaloo to take his sword "we must hurry" he said looking back into the forest "I didn't kill that thing".
"We have to go back to Ponyville!" said Sweetie bell to Apple Bloom
"I know the way!" said Apple Bloom pointing to the left "come on follow me!”
A few minutes past as they ran through the forest and made it to Ponyville. "Where’s the hospital?" said the boy
"Over there...hurry!" cried Sweetie Bell pointing at the hospital. As they ran inside the hospital a nurse put Zecora in a bed and she was immediately took her with the Doctor.
"I hope she'll be alright" said Apple Bloom with tears in her eye.
"How are you?" asked Sweetie Bell looking boy covered in his and Zicora's blood. The boy stood up and walked towards a window
"All I can remember is that my name is Deimos..." he began "I woke up in a dark cave with Cell doors...that for some reason were open. I didn't want to be there so I decided to leave" he told his whole story before he met the three girls. He said that he found Zecora with bite marks on her arms and legs.
"Where did you find the sword?" interrupted Scootaloo.
"I had to fight some crazy man trying kill me with it"
"Who was the man?" asked Apple Bloom looking at the sword
"I wasn't able to see his face it just happened so fast -"
"Family of Zecora?" called the nurse
"That's us" answered Deimos standing up "how is she?" he asked
"She's fine. She lost a lot of blood but thanks to you she made it just in time..." the nurse look at Deimos seeing his had cuts and bit marks as well "do you need help with your wounds?" she asked
"No...I'll be fine thank you" he said walked out taking his sword from Scootaloo.
"Come on lets fallow him we'll come back to see how Zecora later" said Sweetie Bell the two girls nodded and walked after Deimos waving goodbye to the nurse.
The girls fallowed Deimos all over Ponyville. "What do you think he's up to?" ask Scootaloo peeking her head out of the corner of a house.
"Don't you know it's wrong to spy on people" said Deimos turning his head towards the girls. "Where can I find some clothes around here?" he says smiling "you live around here don't you?" he says putting sword over his shoulder, the three girls look at each other and smiled.
The girls took him inside Rarity's boutique. "Wait here" said Sweetie bell "I'll see if I could find something that you can ware" Deimos took a set putting his sword in his lap
"What kind of sword is it?” ask Apple Bloom
"It's an Elucidator" he answered handing it to her
"It's not as heavy as I expedited" she said carrying it with her right hand and swinging it around
"You’re stronger than you look" he said smiling at her
“Me and my big sister go apple bucking at our home in Sweet Apple Acres"
"Sweet Apple Acres?" he said as he raised his eyebrow "you work at your house like a chore your do?" he asked
"yep it runs in the family" she answered " me and my big sister punch, kick the apple tree and gather the apples in baskets to sell them but my bigger brother Big Macintosh pulls the broken trees that fall down"
"So everyone in your family have to do chores is that it?" he asked standing up and beginning to stretch. "Hey?" he said looking at Apple Bloom "why don't you have a birthmark?" he asked changing the subject.
Apple Bloom looked down not wanting to answer “well all three of us don't have a birthmark and we try so hard to find it but were not good at anything" she said crossing her arms on her chest
"Oh don't worry I don't have one either" he said confuting her.
A few seconds later Scootaloo and Sweetie bell were running down stairs with black clothes "here" they both said hand it to him "put it on over in the dresser".
Nodding his head, Deimos walked to the dresser "gimme a second" he said. Few minutes pasted "alright" he said "I'm done" as he walked out he was wearing black pants with a black belt that had a large silver buckle, a black V-necked shirt that was worn underneath a black trench-coat with gray lining going down the sleeves and black boots with silver plates to protect his shins. He has a silver plate worn on his coat, which was on his left side, and a pair of black fingerless gloves. He wears a strap that goes over his right shoulder and under it to wrap around his left side, which holds his sword. "How do I look?" he said crossing his arms and smiling.
"Well looks better than being shirtless" said Scootaloo smiling.
"Did you make this?" he asked Sweetie bell
"Nope my sister did she's a designer" she said "that was supposed to be for her boyfriend but she just left it so someone would buy it... but no luck yet" Deimos looked at the clothes and smiled.
"I'll pay her when I get the money but right now I need to know where the library is" he asked
The girls look at each other and said "we'll take you!!" as they walked out of the boutique.
"What do you need to go to the library for?" asked Sweetie bell locking the door behind her
"I just need to know something" he said looking at the other stores and looking down at the ground
"Were here!" said Sweetie bell loudly "but the doors are locked" she said sadly. Apple Bloom tried to push the door open "I told you its locked did you not listen" said Sweetie bell frowning at Apple Bloom.
"Well what y'all think we should do now-" a loud crash in which made the three girls up in fright was made by Deimos kicking the door down.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" cried Scootaloo.
"What?" Deimos answered as he shrugged his shoulders. "It was already open" he walks in with a smile on his face "where’s the librarian?" he asked looking around.
"Obviously not here or the door would have been open don't you think?" Scootaloo responded growling under her breath.
"What kind of book are you looking for?" asked Sweetie bell looking around "there's so many"
"I can see that" answered Deimos looking at a tree trunk with a small statue of a stallion head "was this ever moved?" he asked pointing at it.
"No... I don't reckon you can move that?" said Apple Bloom leaning her head to the left.
"Hmm...” said Deimos. He quickly grabbed grip on the trunk and pulled it out.
"What are you doing?" asked Sweetie bell putting her hands on her mouth "we'll get in trouble"
"You didn't know there was a book under here?" he answered
"WHAT?!" the three girls looked surprised to find a gold covered book in the hole where the tree trunk was.
"Whose is it?" asked Scootaloo grabbing the book from the ground
"This is star swirl the bearded history book" Deimos said taking the book from her hands
"What do you need it for?"
"There was a piece of paper in the cell that I was in. It said something about this book having to do something with answers..." he said glancing at the book.
"Well?" said Sweetie bell "what are we waiting for?”
Deimos nodded his head.
As he opened the book he knew something was wrong.
"It’s empty" he said
"WHAT?!" the girls cried
"Yeah there is no words in it" he responded showing the girls the book.
"What a shame..." said a voice behind them. As they turned around they were surrounded by a pack of diamond dog blooded men.
"Who are you?" said Deimos standing in front of the girls.
"They're diamond dogs" said Sweetie bell hiding behind Deimos "they attacked my sister and her friends and made her their slave"
"What do you want from us?!" Deimos asked
"He's the one, Rover" said one of the solders whispering in the leader’s ear.
"Are you Deimos?" said Rover.
Deimos didn't say anything for a few seconds "what's it to you?" he finally spoke.
"we are the diamond dogs we were ordered to find you and bring you with our master" he said with a smile on his face "if you come without struggling we will leave you friends alone" said Rover with a smile "but if you try to struggle..." Rover stopped and snapped his fingers soon the girls were grabbed but three men that burst out of the ground soon the girls were behind Rover "we will kill your friends" he said putting his sword on Sweetie bells neck.
Deimos clenched his teeth and fist dame these basters" he thought "taking little girls as hostage" anger filled his body he looked at the ground "okay" he said pulling out his sword and throwing it on the grown in front of Rover "I'll give in." Deimos put his hands in front of him and a guard hand cuffed him.
"Walk" said the guard pushing Deimos away
"Rover..." said a guard "what did we do about the girls?" he asked.
Rover just gave him a smile after looking at the crowd of people gathering and said "lose the crowed than do whatever you wish with them" The pack of horny men whistled and cackled and did as they were told.
Deimos closed his eyes tightly he looked back seeing the six guards walking inside of the library with the girls struggling to get away.
Three guards grabbed the girls and tied them up and began to grab the girl's behind. They tried her best to resist, but they were just too weak to fight back. The three girls started to cry, looking at Deimos for help.
"Keep walking!" the guard shouted at him grabbing his hair and pulling it.
Quickly Deimos snapped. He turned around and head-butted the guard in the nose causing the man to fall backwards, two other men came trying to attack Deimos by pulling out their swords. The first one swung his sword, Deimos dogged it and grabbed the guard's hand and braking it. Before the second guard was able to attack. Deimos broke the chains and grabbed the guards head and twisted it braking his neck. Deimos ran at full speed towards the girls. A guard took a grip on Deimos's sword, before he could swing it a brown small owl flew out of the window of the library and attacked the guard with its sharp claws scratching his left eye out. Deimos quickly took advantage of this opportunity and punched him in the jaw, left and right. The guard dropped the sword. Deimos instantly grabbed the sword and swigged cutting the guard's head off like butter. Before Deimos could turn he was dog-piled by half of the pack.
Inside of the library a guard was grabbing Sweetie bell while she and the others were tied up.
"NO!" she cried "DON'T TOUCH ME!" the guard would just smile.
"Don't worry little girl" he said unzipping his pants "you'll enjoy this-". The guard stopped when he felt a sharp pain coming from his back.
He coughed out blood when Deimos pulled out the sword. "DON'T TOUCH THEM!" he yelled. His left arm had scratches and bruises, his mouth was dripping a bit of blood. In a few seconds the other seven charged him. Deimos grabbed the guard he killed by the neck and throw him only hitting two, one pulled out his sword and swigged. Deimos blocked it with the sword in his right hand and with his left grabbed the guard by the throat and pull him to the left where another guard stabbed his own. Deimos pushed both of them then cut them both in half, one of the guard that was hit by the dead body ran off with Rover. Deimos didn't mind them running off and cut loose Scootaloo
"Wait" Scootaloo cried "that was only six...where's the seventh one-" Scootaloo stopped as she was stabbed by the last guard in the back. Deimos turned after freeing the two girls. The guard tried to flee leaving behind the dagger but was to slow for Deimos and was grabbed by the throat.
"SCOOTALOO!!" the two girls cried
"You’re going to be okay!" Sweetie bell said trying to calm her friend down.
Deimos throw the diamond dog against the wall and stabbed his hand on the wall with his huge sword. The Diamond dog screamed in pain but Deimos could care less
"Don't move" he said in a dark voice and turned his attention to Scootaloo. Taking the out the dagger from Scootaloo's back she began to cough up blood.
"Am...Am I going to-"she asked
"NO YOU WON’T!" yelled Deimos "HOLD ON JUST...HANG IN THERE!" he began to put pressure on her wound trying to stop the bleeding, no use, "dammit" he said under his breath with a mad face. Later a laugh was heard in the library.
The diamond dog was the one laughing "you all are pathetic" he said with a smile. The diamond dog’s voice was rusty, like a claw dragging down a chalkboard. "You can't save her" he began "she will die in your hands and there's nothing you can-" Deimos punched him in the jaw and pulled out the sword. He quickly throw him across the room and dashed towards him kicking him and punching nonstop. The guard tried to run towards the girls but was soon grabbed by Deimos' blue aura.
"You hurt one of them" he growled "dare you try to hurt them again!!" he yelled and a light blue aura began to glow around his hands. He began to feel a strange power like never before.
Suddenly the power began to bring him memories of his past which made him fall to his knees. He began to grin in pain dropping the guard and his sword to cover his ears.
"well, well, well" the guard began “looks like you're not feeling well" he began to walk towards Deimos "why don't you lay down!" he shouted kneeing Deimos in his face making him get close to the girls "know watch as she dies" he said "and you will die..." he picked up Deimos's sword and walked towards him "with your own sword" he lifted the sword and swung down on Deimos.
Soon the blue aura in his hands became red orange flames "NO...I...WON'T !" he yelled stopping the blade from hitting him with the red flame aura, and with the right knee he kneed the diamond dog in the gut dropping the sword and with his right hand pierced the man's heart out.
The diamond dog began to cough up blood and said his last words "he...will k...kill everything in his path" before dying he gave a wicked smile and Deimos pulled out his hands throwing the dead body outside and began to walk towards Scootaloo.
"She...she's dead" said Apple Bloom with tears coming down her cheek. Sweetie Bell just stood there motionless looking down at her dead friend.
Without a word Deimos fell to his knees and put his left hand on Scootaloo's wound letting the flames go inside of her "Govey Ek Ahraan" he said closing his eyes soon the flames healed Scootaloo's wound but the wound was on Deimos the blood stopped and it quickly closed.
"What was that?" asked Apple Bloom
"What?" he responded
"What did you say?"
Deimos took a deep breath finally confessed "I lied" he looked at the flame that soon filled up the scars on his arms he sighed "I was locked up in Tartarus and there was a jailbreak..." he said closing his eyes "I was held there for many years I can't remember for how long" he stopped, silences filled the room as they waited of Scootaloo to awaken. He finally got up and carried the girl to the second floor and placed her in a bed. "You two stay here and look after her" he said walking out "I'll go clean up outside" he closed the door leaving the girls in the room.
"You think she'll be alright" asked Apple Bloom sitting next to the bed.
"I hope so" answered Sweetie Bell. They began to think in silence. "Hey do you have the book we found?" Sweetie Bell asked Apple Bloom breaking
"Yeah... why?"
"Let me see it" Apple Bloom pulled out the book from her overall and hand it to Sweetie bell.
"What are you doing?" she asked
"Watch". A lime green aura covered her hands and lifted the book "Gov...ey...Vodah...min...Govey Vodahmin!" she shouted. Soon the book opened and the words began to appear.
"Wha-...what did you say?" asked Apple Bloom her eyes wide open looking surprised at what she has seen.Sweetie bell on the other hand huffed for air, not binning able to talk.
"Spike...sh-showed...me how to do it" she took a deep breath "it means Remove unremembered. He told me that if a book had no words on it it's either not done or it's under a spell" she expand "if this is Star swirl's book than he put it under a spell...but why in dragon language?" she picked up the book from the bed and began to look at it
"Should we read it?" she asked Apple Bloom
"Don't know but we want to know what it says?" she asked handing the book to Apple Bloom.
Opening the book Apple Bloom sighed and began to read "alright he goes everything" she said
"to who is reading the young prince needs to be protected, he doesn't know who he is, he must know his purpose for why he was locked up in Tartarus. You must tell him... " the girls kept reading "he is has half alicorn blood-"
"Just like the princesses!" Sweetie bell interrupted.
"shh" replied Apple bloom " and half-"
"I can't read what says" Apple Bloom said.
The two girl both squinted their eyes to read the mushed word but it was no use. Soon they gave up.
-that his father chained him in Tartarus because the prince would be stronger than the king. I tried to protect him but I was too weak. But I gave him something a scar on this left arm that will allow him to become stronger and resist wound. He will become very powerful and enemies will want to take him has a weapon. He is known as a "DovahZii". He was a monster to his father and is why he was thrown away to tartarus I must help him I must-"
"What else does it say?" asked Sweetie bell.
"That’s it..." Apple Bloom answered "there anti anymore" the girls seemed confused.
Suddenly a soft "hum " came from the bed.
"Scootaloo!" shouted Sweetie bell. Scootaloo began to awake.
"Wha-...what happened?" she asked
"Deimos healed you." began Apple Bloom "he took your wound but didn't wake up."
Scootaloo looked at her shirt it was covered in blood with a tare where the dagger pierced her stomach but didn't say a word "where is he?" she asked
"He's cleaning outside or that's what he said"
The door opened and Deimos walked in with a glass of water and bringing it to Scootaloo. "Hey" he said in a relief voice "how do you feel?" he asked sitting down and taking off his black trench-coat. His black shirt underneath was torn and ripped but there were no wounds.
"I feel better" she answered looking at the torn black shirt.
Sweetie bell looked at the book "Apple Bloom and I..." she began "read the book".
The room fell silent "how?" asked Deimos looking to the ground.
"The book was under a spell" began Sweetie bell "my sister’s boyfriend, Spike showed me how to do a braking spell in dragon language-" she caught her words after they heard a sound coming from outside. A few seconds leader the front door of the library opened and the creaking could be heard from upstairs "what was that?" asked Scootaloo getting out of the bed and walking out the door.
Deimos quickly put on his coat and grabbing his sword "Scootaloo, are you there?" he whispered
Soon the girl ran back inside "guys!" she gasped "Princess Twilight and the others are back" she whispered” and Princess Luna is with them..."
In the shadows of the Bad Lands laid a weak unicorn-blooded man with long black hair. His body seemed to weaken every minuet that past. He grind in paint trying to sit up
"My king..." a female voice called in the distance walking towards "I hope I didn't keep you waiting to long." The woman soon kneels before the man known as King Sombra letting her long Dark cerulean colored hair cover her face.
“Chrysalis..." Sombra said as Chrysalis rose from the ground
"Rest, my king I have news for you" she claimed with a smile
"And...What is...so important?" Sombra grind in pain trying to speak. His voice deep and dark.
"Word is that the depths of Tartarus had an prison break..." she said with a wicked smile printed on her face "And not only that we caught these three as well" she said pointing at the three creatures chained up and on their knees.
The first one was a middle age Minotaur with brown fur on his back and scars covering his chest. The second was a griffon-blooded man with short blond hair. The last one was not a man but a satyr woman who was crying for her life.
Sombra with a smile on his face told the changeling guards to bring them towards him. Without hesitation they obeyed the order and made the three walk. As the guards came to a stop Sombra chuckled.
“I...I know you" the Minotaur spoke looking at him “it...it was told that...you...you were-"
"Dead?" Sombra interrupted and was now standing in the shadow "well then this won't hurt at all..." he said using his magic to feed off the Minotaur's deep and darkest fear. Soon the Minotaur began to scream and tried to run but the chains wouldn't allow him.
"NO PLEASE!" He yelled, begging for his life "IT WASN'T ME I SWEAR, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" Sombra began to feed on the Minotaur's fear and soon began to feel stronger.
A few seconds the Minotaur came back to his senses lying on the floor holding his head in pain.
"What...did you do to me?" asked the Minotaur not looking up.
"I simply fed on fear..." Sombra said walking towards him close to the Minotaur's ear "...and took your strength." In an instant Sombra took the Minotaur by his mussel and horns and snapped his neck and threw the body towards the wall. He looked at the other two prisoners and smiled seeing that they feared him. "Put them in the dungeon!" he ordered “I shall feed off them later" guards did as they were told taking the two way.
"How do you feel my king?" Chrysalis asked putting her hands on Sombra's shoulders.
"Much better than before..." he said locking lips with her "but...did you bring what I asked for?" he said walking to his throne.
Chrysalis smiled and snapped her fingers summoning a small chest with her lime green aura "you mean this?" she hand the box to Sombra and watched as he opened it.
"Yes~" Sombra said as he admire the powerful jewel in Equestria. "Did she give you any trouble?" he asked Chrysalis closing the box with a smile.
“The one known as Zicora?" she asked smiling "...I must say she was difficult to go up against. With her speed was impressive, but she lacks strength." she finished walking behind Sombra and putting her hands on his chest.
"Did you kill her?" Sombra asked in a lifeless voice but with a smile. He turned to Chrysalis and kissed her before she could respond.
"I fed her to the Timber Wolfs" she finally said re-kissing her king.
With a snap of her fingers she made a couch appear and the two lied down. Sombra showing no care in how much pain he still was began to undress his Queen-.
“MY QUEEN WE FOUND THEM-" a guard yelled interrupting Chrysalis and Sombra. "F...forgive me you highness..." he said shamelessly kneeing down "I...I didn't know-"
"What is it that you want...?” Chrysalis interrupted him as Sombra pick himself from her.
The guard quickly got up and repeated what he was going to say “my queen we found them...we found the seven Furies."
For a few seconds the room was silent. Chrysalis with a smile on her face walked out of the room leaving Sombra with the guard.
"What's wrong my king?" asked the guard watching his queen leave the room.
“It’s nothing..." Sombra answered putting his left hand on the guards left shoulder and began to use his magic as he spoke. In seconds a sword appeared in his hands stabbing the guard through his back. "Do you know what this is?" Sombra asked with a grin on his face. The guard didn't say any "this...is a Soul Trap..." Sombra began as he pulled out the sword.
"W...why?" asked the changeling coughing out blood and falling to his knees
"Not only did it just trap your soul in it, but it allows me to feed on it as well" Sombra replied noticing that the guards magic was making him stronger. A few seconds later the guard's death was quick, his head being detached from his body by Sombra's sword and was soon disposed by turning to what looked like a human raisin. The flesh drying up and began to wrinkle then turned to ashes. Sombra without a word walked passed the body and out the door finding Chrysalis in front of the statues of seven woman.
Soon the hallway was silent until Chrysalis spoke "my mother would be so happy..." she tried to hold back the tears but the happiness and anger was much stronger than her.
"Whenever you are ready..." said Sombra crossing his arms and waited patiently for Chrysalis to speak.
Without a word Chrysalis used her magic on the seven woman "COME FORTH FOR I SHALL FREE YOU FROM YOUR TORMENT!" she shouted as the statues began to crack open and soon exploded making a cloud of dust around them "welcome back..." Chrysalis said with a smile "sisters..."
The Ponyvill express came to a stop to its destination. "FINALLY!" Rainbow shouted flying out and into the sky, "it seemed like forever in there" she spun around and landed on a cloud.
"You know Rainbow Dash..." Rarity call from below "you could have just flown from Canterlot to Ponyville." Rarity rolled her eyes seeing that Rainbow was ignoring her.
Behind her came out the rest of the girls and princess Luna looking quite worried, sighed to herself and began to think " I have a brother?...why was this kept from-"
"Is everything alright Princess Luna?" Twilight asked putting her hand on Luna's shoulder bringing Luna back to reality
Shaking her head and with a small smile Luna nodded "yes i'm fine, but something worries me..." she said looking at the sky and sighed
"Well what's wrong?"
Luna gave a sigh "why was this information of my brother kept from Tia and I...?" she stopped talking and just looked at the sky, feeling the cool wind hit her face.
"Princess Celestia said Starswirl the bearded had to hide it from both of you for your own good, if he would have told you your father would've..." Twilight stopped realizing what she was about to say. She looked at Luna wanting to cheer her friend up, but not knowing how. Soon Rainbow Dash flew down from her cloud and walked towards Luna.
"Hey" she said putting her hands on her hips "don't sweat it Princess well help you find out the truth, right girls?" she asked looking over her shoulders. All the girls gave a slight and happy nod.
"Because we're all friends and friends help one another" Pinkie said hopping up and down happily as ever
Luna was speechless but happy that she had some very good friends and began to release tiers of joy "thank you all so much everyone" she said clearing her throat and wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Princess Luna" said a guard from behind the girls "we were informed amount of prisoners from Tartarus..." he stopped looking at the princess.
"Well how many?" she said looking at the guard confused to why he had stopped
The guard cleared his throat and continued "there are over... two thousand, my lady...even Tirek" he said "but Princess Celestia ordered me to give you this" he said pulling a wooden box from his bag with the symbols of the Elements of Harmony
* * * * * *
In the library up stares, Sweetie Bell pushed ear near the door trying to hear what was going on down stairs.
"Can you hear anything?" whispered Apple Bloom behind Deimos
"No I can't, they’re too far"
"We need to get out of here" cried Scootaloo looking around the room and looked at the window "we can jump out without being seen".
* * * * * *
down stairs
"Wait, wait, wait, hold up" Rainbow called putting her hand up in front of Luna "what do you mean "we" have to find all the inmates?" she said with a mad expression one her face and crossing her arms "we already have to deal with Sombra coming back and finding your brother" she hissed "besides doesn't Tartarus have like a million solders to deal with that?"
"They do but..." Luna stopped and took a deep breath “twenty-four thousand....were...killed on duty" she said looking at the floor. Silence filled the room; everyone else hung their heads in sorrow not saying a word.
"Where do we start?" Spike called out in a deep voice raising his head in anger.
Luna cleared her throat "we can start with the Elements of Harmony" she said opening the wooden box and using her aura to hand each one their own. "Put them on, then hold hands in one circle" everyone did as they were told and hold hands in the circle "I will perform a summoning spell" Luna spoke
Twilight looked at her confused "but Princess Luna what are you going to summon?" she asked
"I am going to summon a weapon for everyone here" she replied "now everyone close your eyes". As soon as everyone did so Luna opened a book and began to read it " Oh great divine Phoenix we use your great power to read our soul and make the weapon of our dreams for now I say it Mote it be ". As she finished each Element shot out a speck of fire summoning a Phoenix.
* * * * * *
"Deimos look” said Scootaloo pointing back at the library "what do you think is going on?"
"I'm not sure" he said looking over his shoulder "but I don't want to find out-"
"HEY YOU, STOP RIGHT THERE !!" a royal guard shouted behind Deimos
shit... Deimos thought "Sweetie Bell, Apple Bloom" he whispered "when I say run you two run, got it ?"
"What, why!?...what are you going to do?" asked Sweetie Bell with a nervous look
"Just do it...okay?" he said through his teeth trying to hold a smile. The two girls nodded "okay, now Scootaloo get on my back, hold on tight and don't let go" Scootaloo gave him a nod and hopped on his back wrapping her arms around his neck. I won't be able to my sword scene Scootaloo is on my back...man I hope this works he said to himself.
"What are you four doing here?" the guard asked standing in front of Deimos "don't you know there are killers on the loose?”
"We were...um... just heading to Sugarcube Corner" Apple Bloom answered trying not to stutter. The guard didn't say anything for a few seconds but just kept looking at Deimos as if he was trying to read his mind.
“You know..." said the guard looking down with a smile and began to reach for his sword "those scars under your shirt look pretty… SERIOUS!!" he shouted pulling out his sword, swinging it towards Deimos. He took a step back, only getting a cut on the cheek, and took a step toward the guard punching the man with a left hook, making the guard lose his balance and drop to the ground.
Deimos turned to Sweetie Bell and Apple Bloom "run!" he shouted "go now and don't look back". The girls ran leaving him and Scootaloo behind. Deimos looked back to see five royal guard sprinting his way “well it's our turn to leave" he said as he began to run in the opposite direction.
"Where are we going to go?” asked Scootaloo tightening her arms around Deimos’s neck
“Well for starts we have to lose those guys" he replied "then we'll have to find the others and after that I’ll think of something".
"Well that sounds "very" promising..." said Sootaloo in a sarcastic voice. Deimos gave a small grin and kicked a box back only hitting one guard seeing that the other were still standing.
dame these guys don't give up easily he thought to himself vaulting over a fruit cart and sprinting towards a tall building not seeming to slow down.
"Deimos...?" Scootaloo cried not getting a response back "Deimos there's a building”
"So?" he answered
"You can't fly"
"I'm not going to" he said jumping into the air and grabbing the roof of the building. Pulling himself up on the roof Deimos looked down to see the guards spreading their white wing and flying up.
"What now?" asked Scootaloo in a nervous tone?
"Hold on" Deimos answered moving back but before he could take another step he was surrounded by royal guards all having their swords out.
"We'll send you back to Tartarus dead or aliv-" the guards stop being interrupted by a loud roar coming from the everfree forest
"What was that?" asked Scootaloo climbing down of Deimos's back. In the distance the trees of the everfree forest seemed to be falling down as if something was crashing its way through, within seconds a huge two legged beast with two big golden tusks in a form of harpoons and armor on its lower body and shoulders came charging out of the forest swinging a double sided battleaxe.
"What is that thing?!" cried a guard taking a step back.
"Forget about him" said a guard looking at Deimos "we have to protect the princess's" the other agreed and jumped off of the roof opening their wing and began to fly to the library
"Deimos what is that?" asked Scootaloo again
"It's not our problem..." he said looking in the other direction "come on, we need to go before it gets worse..."
"Worse...what do you mean worse?" She asked in a shocked tone
"I mean that thing is an Elephantaur and its going to kill everything in its path” he answered "if we don't leave now then it will kill you and I’ll go back to prison" he began to walk away
"We can't leave them!" Scootaloo shouted "we can't let them die!"
"And what can we do!?" Deimos shouted turning around to look at the little girl "you're just a little girl and i'm just a fugitive!!"
"But the sisters of Apple Bloom and Sweetie Bell are over there" she cried "please we need to help them..."
"This isn't my fight, understand..." Deimos said looking away "lets get down from here." he said carrying Scootaloo on his back and jumping off the roof landing on the ground. He turned to Scootaloo as she got off of his back "look..." he said taking a deep breath "I'm going to kill that thing only because you helped me get some close"
"Really?" Scootaloo answered looking up at him
"Yes, now come one we don't have much time"
* * * * * *
"Guys what happened?" asked Spike coughing and waving the gray smoke way from his face
"What the hay happened?" A.J. coughed trying to look around.
"Guys look at what I got!" Pinkie pie called out lifting a pink war hammer with the same cutie mark as hers, at the top of the hammer.
"Pinkie...um where did you get that?" twilight asked surprised.
"Over there" Pinkie pointed at the wall that seemed to be burned. Five weapons were on the wall, two double edged sword with a making of an apple in the center of the handle and the other one with the marking of a rain cloud shooting out a colored lightning bolt, A bow and arrows with a spell book that had three diamonds carved on the book and arrow bag, next to it was a small yellow staff with a spear end, the final weapon was a black bladed katana with a violet handle.
"Whoa..." said Rainbow with her mouth open "are those ours?”
"Indeed" said Luna waking over to them "each one of these have a meaning..." using her magic to pick each one at a time, "Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash you two have the double bladed sword therefor the two of you are the strongest and the bravest in the group" she said handing them their swords before turning to Fluttershy and Pinkie pie " Fluttershy, you have the staff which represents the strength in your soul and the kindness in your heart" she hands the staff to her and looks toward pinkie " Pinkie pie, yours is-"
"A HAMMER!!" Pinkie shouts lifting the hammer as if it was light as a feather "I'll call it PARTY SMASHER ! No wait PARTY CRASHER or-"
"Or you could let the princess finish." Rainbow called out interrupting Pinkie
Pinkie blushed “oh right, sorry I’ll wait."
Luna sighed "it's alright, your hammer represents strength that you have for others and how much you care about them" she tuned to Rarity levitating the spell book and the bow and arrows "Rarity this spell book will help you make the simplest jewels into a weapon and the bow and arrows indicated protection and defense" after handing them to Rarity, she lifted the final weapon handing it to Twilight "Twilight Sparkle, this weapon is a katana one of the most strongest weapon that one can hold. Your power combined with the swords is unbelievable, it represents leadership and power making you the leader of the group".
"PRINCESS LUNA!" shouted a guard running into the room. Luna quickly turned to face the guard.
"What is it, what's wrong?" she asked seeing the face of the guard, his eyes wide open as if he saw a demon.
"It's an Elephantaur you highness" he stopped to catch his breath "it's coming this way"
* * * * * *
"HOLD YOUR GROUND MEN!" shouted the Commander Strong Shield as the Elephantaur walked closer and closer to the library but soon came to a stop.
"Commander Strong Shield“ Luna called from behind "what's going on-" before Luna could finish she was interrupted but and witched laugh.
" Well if it isn't the Princess of the night" a woman called out appearing with a greenish smog wearing a black dress "it's been so long my dear" she said with a smile on her face as if she was trying to taunt Luna.
"Rhiannon.." Luna growled under her breath "What is it that you seek?"
"Can't an old friend come and visit?" said Rhiannon making a sad face "you don't send letters anymore"
"Um...Princess Luna who is she?" Twilight asked with a confusing look as well did the others
"Her name is Rhiannon also known as a witch, she is one of the seven furies."
"The furies? Who the hell are they?" shouted Rainbow
"They are the most dangerous witches and killers in all of Equestria they are supposed to be stone and locked away in tartarus " Twilight answered looking straight at Rhiannon
"Well, well the little girl did her homework" Rhiannon laughed as she got a good look at Twilight noticing her wings "you don't look like a pegasy, but you have wings," she paused finally realized realizing the answer "you are a Princess aren't you!" Twilight didn't answer "ha so now they make anyone a princess, now l've seen it all, how pathetic." she lifts her left hand and a blood red sword soon appears in her hand "kill them but leave her to me" she ordered pointing at Luna and sprinted towards and tackled Luna sending her through buildings. Not long after the beast let out a loud shout as it began to charge at the first wave of guard, swinging its ax sending blood everywhere
"ARCHERS FIRE ! " shouted Strong Shield. Soon the sky was filled with arrows hitting the Elephantaur piercing its flesh letting out cry of anger as blood dripped out "damn it's not working"
"We'll just have to fight !" replied Spike changing his hands into dragon claws " Strong Shield, you and your men hold back and protect Princess Twilight and the others," he ordered as Strong Shield nodded and did as he was told " Applejack, Rainbow we'll attack head on"
"Okay lets do this" said Rainbow with a nod
The three charged running as fast as they could. Spike strikes first but was only able hit the beast's left shoulder causing him to get garbed and be thrown to the ground with incredible force "SPIKE!" the two girls yelled with despair . The Elephantaur looked up and no longer then a second throw Spike at them hitting the girls on the ground, grinning in pain. The Elephantaur lifted his ax over his head and brought it down making a dust cloud around it.
"NOOOO!" Twilight shouted at the of her lungs with tears in her eyes. Soon the cloud of dust began to clear off but Twilight kept her eyes close, crying on her knees, not wanting to open them knowing that her friends have died.
"Come one we're almost there" a small voice said as it walked towards Twilight's location. Twilight looked up to see Sweetie Belle, Apple bloom, and Scootaloo pulling Spike and the girls to safety
"GIRLS !" Twilight cried, and turned to Strong Shield "please help them" she begged. Strong Shield ordered his men to help Spike and the two girls with their wounds. Twilight looked over her shoulder back to the girls "how did you three get here?" She asked with a confused look. None of the girls looked at Twilight and only stared at the cloud of dust in the distance. As the dust began to fade, a black figure began to form and the beast was standing with his ax being stopped by a black sword. There stood Deimos holding the sword handle with his right hand and the blade with his left pushing it up wards with all his force making the Elephantaur take a step backward.
"Who are you?" asked the Elephantaur, his voice low and scratchy as if someone was using sandpaper.
Deimos stood there tightening his grip on his sword "Why do you care?" Deimos asked not looking up. His voice deep and shadow like.
The beast grinned "You are right I don't care" he said charging towards Deimos "ALL I CARE ABOUT !!" it shouted raising his ax "IS TO KILL YOU!!" Before he could bring his ax down he felt a deep pain coming from his abdomen and stopped moving only to find Deimos behind him and his sword dripping blood "h..how ?" he asked with his eyes wide open in shock.
"You took lives of innocent people and for what purpose?" Deimos responded in a deep voice. The beast grabbed his ax tighter in his right hand and turned to swing it but soon felt an even worse pain on his wrist, realizing his hand was cut off he let out a painful scream "now you'll feel the pain that you did to them!" he shouted soon getting flashes of the town that was once happy and joyful, soon turning in to a town with dead bodies, pools of blood, chaos and people screaming.
"P...please I...I beg for mercy!" he begged crawling backwards
"You want mercy?" Deimos answered "look around you, look at all the families you killed and you want mercy!?" he shouted stabbing his sword on the dirt and lighting it with his blue aura turning darker "lets hope hell has mercy for your soul" he said turning the spot where the Elephantaur in to a demonic symbol in which shadow hands began to drag the beast down.
"NOOO PLEASE-" his screams were silent as the portal closed.
Everyone was silent but stun at the sight.
" That...that was dark magic" Twilight thought "who are you?" she asked walking towards him.
"Princess Stay back he's one of the prisoners!" Strong Shield shouted making Twilight flinch backwards and shot his arrow towards Deimos.
"DEIMOS LOOK OUT !" Sweetie Bell tried to warn him but was too late. The arrow pierced through his chest, blood dripping out of his mouth.
"shit..." Deimos said before collapsing to one knee and began to gasp
"DEIMOS!" the girls shouted running towards him but were stopped by the guards. Five of them rushed to pull Deimos, and Strong Shield walked towards him pulling out his sword with his right hand. Standing in front of him Strong Shield put the tip of the sword to his neck.
"Any last words before you die?" Strong shield replied with a smiling smirk. Deimos said nothing only looking at Strong's eyes with anger. "Well then..." Strong began lift the sword over his head and shouted "DIE!" as he brought it down but soon realized that his sword was gone from his hands. He quickly turned around only to find Sweetie Bell forcing her magic to levitate the sword and send it far from Strong's reach.
"Deimos run!!" she shouted. Using the rest of his straight, Deimos broke free from the men and punched Strong Shield in the abdomen and pulled his sword out, and brought it down.
"STOP!!" Twilight cried out, causing Deimos to stab the ground, missing his target. He looked up at Twilight making eye contact "please don't do this." she begged her eyes full of tears, with a sigh Deimos picked himself up from Strong and placed his sword back in it scabbard on his back.
"I give up" he announced putting his hands in the air and soon was handcuffed
"Get the little brats as well" Strong shouted once he was back on his feet.
Twilight stood in front of the girls her wings spread out "Strong Shield please there just girls please they don't need to be put in jail-"
"Leave them be" a female voice called out. Everyone turns to see Luna with Rhiannon on her knees and blood dripping from her mouth
" But Princess they tried to help this prisoner" Strong tried to explain. Luna looked at him
"I understand what you are saying" she began "but" she stopped and cleared her throat "he...he's my brother" no one answered they just stood there looking in shock and in silence...
Everyone just stared at Princess Luna not saying anything.
"He...He's you’re..." Twilight stuttered
"That's impossible!" Strong Shield shouted "your highness this man can't be your-"
"Oh but he is" Rhiannon interrupted while on her knees and her hands cuffed behind her "you see he is the bastard child that was banished and left to die alone and-" she was cut off by a Luna's knee rising and hit her jaw causing her to fall to her back and growled in pain.
"Shut up" Luna responded in a cold low voice.
"Princess..." Twilight said softly.
"Tell me..." Deimos called out in the distance "why did you summon that beast to attack this town?" his voice becoming deeper with rage as he asked the question.
Rhiannon stood up, blood flowing from her nose and lower lip. She chuckled for a second "I was ordered to find a rare jewel that contains the out most power"
Deimos squinted his eyes "Let me guess you are looking for me" he replied
Rhiannon looked at him and let out a wicked laugh “you might be a bastard prince but you're not as important as you think you are" she sighed sarcastically "no.." she answered "I was sent out to find something much more then you... I'm looking for the Element of magic"
Twilight's eyes widen as she took a step back. Rhiannon gave a grin "and I think I found it" she rose from the ground, breaking the chains and sprinted towards Twilight. Only inches way from Twilight she raised her arm to grab the girl but soon realized her arm falling to the ground forcing her to stop and examine her limb that was detached from her shoulder with a clean painless slice. Blood quickly bursting out which made her soon scream in pain and agony. the woman glared up to find Deimos standing in front of her with his blade in hand "you bastard..." she began "how dear you-" she stopped as the tip of the blade touched her neck.
"Shut up” Deimos replied; his voice low and dark "now, tell me if are after her then why did you send the Diamond dogs after me?"
"D...diamond dogs?" Rhiannon answered "what a joke we would never become alleys with those filthy animals"
"What a disgraces" a raspy females voice called out from the sky "looks like these pathetic pests were a bit of a challenge for you little sister" everyone quickly looks up to find chrysalis hovering over them.
"Chrysalis?" said Luna in an uneasy voice and fear in her eyes
"Hello Luna"
"What are you doing here?"
"Isn't obvious" chrysalis began "I came to take my sister and the precious little princess" she smiled looking at Twilight
"Try it" Deimos spoke standing in front of Twilight raising as if he were ready for anything.
Twilight stared motionless and speechless why? she thought to herself why would he protect me if he doesn't even know me...
Before Chrysalis could reply she heard Sombra's voice speaking to her "It look like my king wants me back at the time" she said as began to vanish with a green aura no before staring at the girls and Luna "we'll see each other again Princesses..." her voice vanishing with the wind "that's a promise" soon Rhiannon and Chrysalis both were gone
No one said a word for a few seconds silence filled the air.
"Are you alright?" Deimos ask tuning to Twilight caching her off guard with that question.
"Y...yes...” was all she could answer and just stare at him. Deimos smiled and nodded and walked passed her towards Apple Bloom, Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo standing next to Apple Jack, Rainbow, and Spike who were still unconscious.
"You girls alright?" he asked. The girls look up to him with tears falling from their cheeks.
Apple Bloom sniffed softly "what if they don't wake up Deimos?"
"Hey listen" Deimos began kneeling down to the little girl "everything is going to be alright, I promise they will be fine" Apple Bloom hugged him tightly and so did Deimos kissing her forehead. Seconds later Apple Bloom let go of him and turned her attention back to her older sister. Deimos didn't turn around realizing that Luna was behind him "so is it true?" he asked as he stood up and turned around staring at her.
"I don't know..." Luna began "Rhiannon said that a strong, dangerous aura was close by, but she wasn't sure if that same aura was her target although once she saw you she confessed that you had to have something to do with my sister and me"
"You know..." a joyful yet sinister male voice echoed in the air "I'm always happy to help you with any little problem that you may need help in" Discord announced popping out of nowhere with a flash of light. No less than a second Deimos quickly took out his sword and aimed the tip of the blade at the man’s neck only making a small cut which caused a bit of blood begin to drip out. "Well you’re a jumpy one aren't you?" said Discord with a grin on his face.
Deimos stared at Discord "Who are you?" his voice deep and cold.
"Well if you would be so kind as to move your sword from my neck I would gladly tell you" said Discord in a calm voice. Luna put out her hand on Deimos' shoulder and nodded her head. Without saying a he slowly moved the blade away "thank you" Discord smirked wiping the bit of blood from his neck.
"His name is Discord the god of chaos" said Luna "but I can assure you that he means no harm"
"Oh Luna I never thought I would see the day that you would stand up for me" Discord began teleporting behind the Princess and gentling pulling on her soft cheeks.
"But I can't assure he won't be a pain in the ass" Luna said making Discord release her
"Wow..." Discord began "that was really rude even for you" he soon looked to Deimos "I really hope you don't have her rudeness in your blood"
"So you're saying that her and I are-"
"Related?" Discord interrupted "in my professional opinion the two of you are..." snapping his fingers Discord made a clipboard and a cup of coffee and took a sip before spitting it out after reading the paper on the board "well this is odd.."
"What’s odd?" Twilight asked
"Discord what wrong?" Luna asked her voice sounding a bit worry like.
"I'm looking at the DNA paper work...and well..." Discord cleared his throat "well...”
"What is it Discord?" Luna insisted. Not wanting to wait anymore she quickly snatched the paper from Discords hands.
"The two of you only have...." Discord began
"The same mother...." Luna read "but that means..."
"You two..." Discord began "are only half-brothers...your mother" he cleared his throat "must have had an affair..."
"Wha...what happened? " Spike called out as he stood up from the ground holding his head covered in bandages "ow my head" he growl.
"Spike?" Rarity cried out "oh Spiky Wikey I'm so happy you're wake you had all of us worried sick" she ran and hugged the boy as tight as she could while tears rolled down her cheek and sobbing softly.
Spike; ignoring the pain from his body, put his arms around her "shh it's okay" he began "see I'm okay" he whispered in her ear trying to calm her down and brushing her hair. He soon looked up to see Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash laying on the floor unconscious while Flutter shy and Pinkie pie putting bandages on their bruises. "What happened to them" he asked Rarity looking at her in the eyes.
"The three of you tried to take on the beast foolishly" Twilight's voice called out behind him "almost getting yourselves killed" she goes on her voice rising with frustration.
"Twilight..." Spike whispered under his breath as he noticed she was trying hard to not break down into tears.
"And what would I do if the three of you were to die!" she shouted tears filling her eyes and her voice breaking "I would..." Her knees began to shake, her vision started to become blurry. As she began to fall backwards she fell into Deimos's arms.
"You should take it easy Princess" he said as he helped her back up to her feet. Twilight didn't say anything but just stared at Deimos.
"Forgive me for asking" Spike called out as he began to stand "but who are you?"
Deimos smiled and nodded his head "my name is Deimos and you must be Spike" Spike didn't respond "I hope you're alright I apologies if I was late" Deimos began "I should have came faster"
"It's alright" said Spike holding out his hand "I'm alive and that you I have to thank for”. Deimos reached out his hand and shook Spike's hand in a flash Spike began to see flashes of memories that defined the meaning of gore and suffering. Sounds of whips could be heard echoing everywhere followed by screams, and begging of a boy chained to the wall, the boy's back covered in blood and cut marks. what the hell is this... Spike thought, the boy looked up and stared at Spike Deimos? Spikes eye began to widened."You see" said Deimos with a painful smile "this is why we broke free".
"Spike!" Twilight shouted "Snap out of it"
"Twilight?" Spike replied confused and began looking around the room "what happened?"
"You spaced out after Prince Deimos stepped out" Twilight answered
"Are you okay dear?" Rarity asked worried
"Yes I'm fine just a bit dizzy” Spike responded noticing Apple Jack and Rainbow missing "where's AJ and Rainbow"
"There outside getting ready" Pinkie Pie answered
"Getting ready for what?" asked Spike even more confused suddenly the door slammed open with a dark blue aura and seconds later Princess Luna entered.
"Good you are wake" she says with smile "you must hurry and get ready"
"For what" Spike asked again. Luna turns staring at him
"It's Zecora" her voice low and lifeless "she's in the hospital"
"Did something happen?" Twilight cried "is she alright?"
Luna nodded "She's fine" she said in a calm voice "she wants see us".
"Okay" Twilight replied with relief "I'll be ready in a minute”. Luna nodded and walked out. Twilight stood quiet for a second and stared at her sword why me? she thought why would they want me?
It's because you are much more than you can ever imagine little one a voice called in her head. Twilight turned around to find Spike trying to help Apple Jake.
"I must be going crazy" she sighed softly
"Twilight!" Spike called from the door "you ready?"
"Just a minute!" she answered grabbing her sword and walked to the door.
* * * * * *
"Nurse how is Ms. Zecora doing?" the doctor asked as he walked up to one of the blond nurses. The nurse quickly turned to the doctor and with her magic levitated a clipboard and began to search the papers.
"Ms. Zecora..." she began soon spotting the name "ha here it is, her wounds seem to heal pretty well only a few broken ribs but other than that she should be okay" she said looking up at the doctor. "Actually not long ago she requested to see Princess Twilight Sparkle".
"Is that so..." the man said with a smile "I'll go check on her, just be sure if she's okay" he began to walk past the nurse.
"Oh doctor" she called out
"Yes?" the doctor turned quickly
"How did the surgery go with Ms. Rose?" she asked. The doctor stared at her for a few seconds not sure what to say.
"She...she passed away" he said under his breath.
"But doctor all she needed were stitches" the nurse replied raising an eyebrow "how could she have died?"
"Oh fuck this" the doctor sighed
"I'm sorry -" be for she could finish the doctor grabbed the back of her head and chin and quickly snapped her neck making her body jerk backwards and fall to the floor, blood soon began to come out from the woman's ear and noise. The doctor looked down at the dead body.
"You just couldn't keep your mouth shut" he sighed as he lifted the body and quickly placed it inside of a janitor closet "now be a good girl and stay here and don't move" he said with a grin as if he was waiting for the body to respond "okay" he said exhaling with exhaustion "now it's time to say good night to Ms. Zecora". The doctor soon made his way Zecora's room and walked inside closing the door behind him. In the room Zecora laid asleep on the hospital bed, the doctor glanced behind him and took out a syringe filled with a green liquid and began to walk towards the bed with an sinister smile on face.
"Well seems like I was right after all" the doctor immediately turned around to find Deimos leaning ageist the wall and reading a book.
"How did you-"
"Get in? I was already here" Deimos said not looking up.
"M...may I ask what are you doing here?" the doctor asked in a nervous voice. Sweat soon began to come down his face as he tried to hide the syringe.
"I'm here to make sure that my friend is well and safe" Deimos replied turning the page of his book.
The doctor soon glanced at the sword that Deimos was carrying on his back "sir" he began as he cleared his voice "I can assure that she is in perfectly safe hands" his voice soon began to shake.
"Is that so..." Deimos answered as he turned the page again "then what is that in your right hand?”
The doctor froze in place and soon came to reason. "Oh you mean this?" he said waving the syringe with a pathetic laugh "this is only morphine" he replied "I was going to inject her so she wouldn't feel any pain" the sound of pages turning began to infuriate the doctor.
Deimos closed his book "you know" he began to walk towards he doctor "it's funny I was reading this book about morphine and it didn't say anything about it being green" Deimos said standing in front of the doctor.
The doctor lifted has hand and tried to stab Deimos with the needle. Deimos quickly grabbed the man’s hand and began to squeeze the doctors wrist until the was a crack sound and the man’s wrist was broken and dropped the syringe. Before the doctor could scream in pain Deimos pull the man closer and headbutted him breaking his noise, the doctor fell to the floor holding his face as he growled in pain and felt the blood begin to flow out. Deimos turned to the syringe on the floor and picked it up and began to examine it than turned his attention back to the doctor and stood next to him and placed the needle close to the man’s neck.
"Now tell me" he said in a threatening voice "what's your queen trying to hide?"
The doctor stared at Deimos with an angry expiration. "What are you talking about?" he asked
"You know exactly what I'm talking about" Deimos began "When I came by what seemed to be her house, the place was a mess as if someone was looking for something..." he said as he started to sink the needle closer and closer to the man’s neck "now you're going to tell me what exactly was your queen was looking".
"Go to hell" the doctor said as he spit at Deimos.
Deimos wiped his face with his hand and smiled "where do you think I just came from" he said and stabbed the man with syringe and began to push down the green liquid into the man’s neck. The doctors eyes began to widen not long after his body began to twitch violently as he so desperately tried to call for help, blood soon began pore out of his ears, mouth and eye sockets. Deimos took hold on the man’s head and instantly snapped his neck and let the body fall on its own. Soon the doctor’s body began to change into what seem to be a changeling’s form.
"Brother!" Luna's voice cried out behind him followed by footsteps rushing his way "are you alright ?" she asked walking closer to him than glanced at the dead body for a few seconds before Deimos stepped in front of her.
"It's best if they don't see this" he said in a low voice and glanced at Twilight and her friends.
"Everyone please wait for us outside" she ordered "not you Twilight" she stopped the girl just before Twilight could leave "it's best if you hear this"
"Um o...okay" Twilight answered nervously as she placed her sword by the wall.
The room was silent for a few seconds no one said anything “So you were right after all?” Luna asked Deimos breaking the silence
"It seems so..." Deimos answered. As he turned the body to ash with his aura Twilight began to have a sick feeling in her stomach.
"Zecora must have some kind of information chrysalis wants it to be kept a secret" Luna replied putting her hands on her hips
"But what could Chrysalises possibly want with Zecora-" Twilight stopped "unless..."
Luna walked to Twilight and placed her hand on the girls shoulder "What is it Twilight?" she asked
"If Chrysalises attacked Zecora... she must have been after..." Twilight cleared her throat "the...the Alicorn Amulet". Luna stood in shock not knowing what to say.
Deimos sighed and rubbed his head in frustration "If that's true" he began "then that would explain why chrysalis wanted you so badly that she would send one of the seven fury sisters"
"But why me?” Twilight asked
"Because you're the element of magic" Luna answered "and I'm sure that chrysalis won't give up so easily" Twilight sighed and looked at the ground the thought of being hunted down began to make her body quiver.
"Hey" said Deimos as he placed his hand on Twilight's shoulder making her look up straight at him " I won't allow anyone hurt you" Twilight began to blush as she stared into his eyes , her knees soon began to slightly quiver as feeling of warmth began to flow through her body.
"What happening...what's with this feeling...?" she thought to herself as her heart began to beat faster.
"Are you okay?" Deimos asked "you seem to be turning a bit red all of a sudden" Twilight flinched slightly as Deimos gently put his hand on her forehead. Twilight's cheeks soon began to blush brighter than before as she stared up at Deimos. Before she could answer a loud knock on the door cased her jump and fall into Deimos' arms, soon her eyes widen as she realized what had happened.
Luna smiled “come in" she called out and two guards walked in "General Cross" she said as she nodded her to him.
"Your highness" he said as the two men knelt down "pardon for intruding" once those words came out Twilight soon detached herself from Deimos and tried to hide her blush.
"It's alright" Luna giggled "now how can we help you"
"We have word on the Crystal Empire" he announced
"Is Princess Cadence alright?" Twilight asked in a worried tone
"Yes" General Cross replied "their guards are prepared for any kind of attack" he said. Twilight sigh in relief.
"General Cross" Luna called out "Is my sister alright?" she asked
"Yes your highness" said Cross nodding his head "Princess Celestia ordered us to escort all of you back to Canterlot"
"Very well" Luna answered "But I will ask that this woman will be protected at all time no one goes in without a solder with them, I'm I clear?" she said with a serious tone.
The General bowed "as you with my lady" he said as he walked out the door.
"I should go tell the rest that we'll be leaving in a bit" said Twilight turning to Luna and Deimos and walked out the door.
Deimos sighed and began to rub his forehead do to stress. "What the matter?" Luna asked turning her attention to him.
"I still don't understand all of this" he said looking at the floor "I mean what is all this for?" his voice became narrow and deep "all these deaths, all this pain...and for what?"
"Power" Luna answered "all this is for power and control" she sighed and look at her brother she noticed the anger and sorrow in his eyes she didn't know what to say in order to cheer him up.
"I guess we should be going" said Deimos walking to the door "can I ask something?"
Luna nodded "Sure what is it?”
Deimos turned to her with a confused face "Who's Celestia?"
Luna stopped and let out a small laugh "come on I'll tell you everything on the way to the train" she said walking out of the room with Deimos
Celestia quickly opened the door to her bed room "yes?" she answered the guard standing to attention.
"Your majesty" the guard began as bowed "we have news on Princess Luna"
"Is she alright, what about Twilight sparkle and her friends?" Celestia asked with an anxious tone in her voice.
"Everyone is safe Celestia" said Discord. Celestia immediately turned around to find Discord laying down on her bed. Discord snapped his fingers teleporting next to Celestia "it’s okay I'll inform her about everything. Thank you and bye bye now" he said as he began closing the door.
"What do you think you're doing-" she stopped as Discord pressed his finger on her lips leaving Celestia stunned.
"Now before you get mad" he began” Rhiannon, one of the furie sisters, attacked Ponyville not long ago along with an Elephantaur"
"What!?" Celestia cried "but how is that possible?"
Discord shook his head "Chrysalis must have set them free, she and Rhiannon were after Twilight"
"What!" Celestia cried "Is she alright?"
"Like I said they are alright you have nothing to worry about"
"How could you said that" Celestia shouted "Luna, Twilight, Everyone could be hurt or worse-" Discord quickly took hold of Celestia by her shoulders and pulled her closer to him.
"Your brother saved her” he said staring her in the eye
"My brother...?" Celestia question with a confused look.
Discord nod head "I'll explain everything later but right now its best if you get ready".
"G...get ready?" Celestia stuttered "for what?"
"He's on his way here of cores" said Discord turning his head to her with a smirk "you don't want to meet him looking worried now do you-" before he could finish he felt Celestia's arms around his abdomen. His heart began to bet faster and faster as he stood frozen in place.
"Discord thank you so much" Celestia's whispered holding back her tears of joy.
Discord cleared his throat snapping himself back to reality "well in all honesty...it seemed that he found us".
Celestia let out a small laugh "it doesn't matter who found him" she said loosening her grip from Discord "What matter is that he's alive and everyone is save".
Discord turned to Celestia to find tears roll down her cheek he let out a slight smile along with a sigh as he placed his hand on her cheek and gently wiped her tears as he slowly began to move forward nearly touching Celestias lips until a slight knock from the other side of the bedroom door causing both Celestia and Discord freeze in place and awkwardly stare at each other making each other turn bright red with embarrassment and both quickly turned away.
Celestia cleared her throat "Y...Yes?" she stuttered as her heart began to race.
"Your majesty we got new that Princess Luna just arrived at the train station, accompanied by Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends along with a warrior" said the guard standing at the other side of the door.
Celestia gasped they're here already ? she thought to herself, biting her lower lip, it's too soon...I'm not even ready "Um... if they come to the castle tell them I'll be out in a minute" she answered.
"Of course your highness" the guard said as he bowed outside of the room.
"I'll go stall them while you get ready" said Discord making his way to the doors. As he began walking Celestia couldn't help but to call out his name.
"Discord wait" she said making the man turn to her.
"Yes?" he said in a firm voice
Celestia couldn't help but blush as she stared into Discord's eyes "th...thank you" she stuttered.
Discord smirked "I said I would help you and I'll do anything for you" he replied closing the doors behind him with a smile leaving the Princess blushing followed by a massive explosion in the distance....
A dust cloud filled the streets of canter Lot as the sound of sword against sword was all that could be heard clearly.
"You're pretty fast even with heavy armor” Deimos grind charging Luna with his black sword in hand. he jumped into the air and with all his might swung the sword down hard toward Luna and causing a large shock wave on the ground.
"I'm impressed you're the only one who's ever last this long" Luna called to him from the sky as she began to charge her palm with a dark blue aura and blast it straight at Deimos blasting him in to a building. "It's over" she whispered with a sigh.
"Not yet!" shouted Deimos punching Luna and sending her to the ground. "This. Ends. Now!" he yelled throwing a massive blast of light blue aura at her. In an instant Luna castes a shield blocking the blast.
"I have to say" said Luna as she began to stand from the ground and dusting herself off “I was expecting this be fairly easy" she said with a smile.
"Oh come on, you hurt my feelings" Deimos laughed "so you done?" he asked crossing his hands on his chest.
"Far from it" Luna replied "I'm just getting started"
"Is that so?" said Deimos tilting his head to the left "then this time no more holding back...okay?" he grind. Luna smiled and with a slight movement from her hands she summoned two swords and instantly charged toward him. Deimos didn't hesitate to do the same. As their swords interacted with one another the sounds of the blades could be heard all over canter lot and a crowd of spectators began to cheer on louder and louder at the two blocked and dodged each other’s attack.
"This is AMAZING!" Pinkie pie shouted from the top of her lungs causing her puffy pink hair to bounce “I wonder who will win?"
"I know right I can't believe we have front row sets to the best fight ever!" Rainbow replied with an amused voice.
"I don't think this is such a good idea..." Flutter shy whimpered softly holding her hands together.
"I agree with Flutter shy" Rarity huffed "Princess Luna shouldn't be acting unladylike especially acting this way" her eyes still staring at the batting.
"Oh come on babe you have to admit this is pretty badass" Spike replied with a smile putting his arms around her "I have my bets on Luna!" Rarity glared at him with an annoyed expression.
"My bits are on Deimos!" Pinkie shouted
"There's no way he could beat her!" Rainbow cheered "I'm with Princess Luna!"
"Place my bet on Deimos" said Applejack holding a bottle of cider in her hand.
"W...well I think it will end in a draw...” Flutter shy stuttered nervously. She turned to see Twilight with a worried expression on her face. "Are you okay Twilight?" she asked tilting her head a little.
Twilight didn't respond she stared at the battle with worry in her eyes "Deimos..." she whispered.
Deimos ducked and quickly swung upwards hitting the sword out of Luna's hand. "One down one to go" he laughed swinging again at Luna.
"Don't get to cocky" she smiled blocking his sword with hers and pushed him back a few feet away with a blast. Deimos immediately sprinted towards her and began to raise his sword bring it down with all his force. Luna's sword began to cover with her aura and a bright shine of light flashed as both swords came in contact throwing Deimos hard into a wall of a building and sending his sword out of his reach. Luna smiled as she looked at her shattered sword "It seems we're both unarmed" she said grinning at Deimos.
"Yup afraid so..." Deimos chuckled "guess it's time to finish this" he said charging his right fist with a light blue aura.
"Agreed" Luna replied doing the same with her left fist. The two stared at each other as their first charged at full power and in an instant they sprinted towards one another both raising their fists. "This ends now!" shouted Luna as their fists crashed together causing a loud explosion sending Luna rolling on the ground and Deimos into a building ,making it collapse on top of him. The crowed fell silent not knowing who had won.
"Who won?" asked Rainbow Dash with a confused look on her face.
"I don't know but that was AWESOME!" Spike cheered. Everyone became anxious because of the thick dust cloud caused by the explosion no one was able to see who the victor was.
"Hey I see someone!" a man’s voice shouted causing everyone turn his direction. Once the cloud began to disappear Luna began to pick herself up from the ground with her knees and stood proudly with a torn dark blue dress. Before the crowed could cheer for the victor an eye burning ray of sunlight appeared in the sky.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?" Celestia shouted with her royal voice causing everyone to cover their ears. As Celestia slowly landed on the ground she notices the cuts and bruises. "Luna!" she shouted running towards her sister. "What happened to you? Who did this?" her voice was a mix between anger and worry.
"Tia don't worry" Luna began brushing herself off. "Everything is-" the sound of rocks being moved interrupted the sister’s conversation. As they turned their attention to the pile of rocks, Deimos let out a slight cough and waving his hands trying to clear the small cloud of dust around him.
"Damn...honestly that kinda hurt a bit" he said patting the dust off of his left shoulder. He looked at Luna with a grin "ready to keep going?"
"how can he still be standing after that? " thought Luna staring with a shocked expiration.
"So you are the one that hurt my sister..." Celestias voice spoke. Her voice full of anger and rage. "WHO ARE YOU!?” Deimos stood in confusion not knowing who this woman could possibly be.
"My name is Deimos" he replied leaving Celestia with her eyes wide and in shock. in a blink of an eye Celestia appeared in form to of him. Caching Deimos off guard Celestia quickly pulled him closer to her hugging him, tears rolling down her cheek.
"So it's you" she sniffed trying to wipe away the tears "it's really you...brother”, as Celestia kept holding Deimos with a strong grip, he couldn't help but to hug her back. As he wrapped his arms around her and place his head on her shoulder, he felt a slight warmth overcome him. "I'm glad we finally meet" Celestia answered slowly letting Deimos go as she cleared her throat "but can someone explain to me why the two of you are fighting?" she asked looking back at Luna, who was now shamelessly staring at ground.
"It was my fault" answered Deimos walking towards his sword and placing it back in its sword holder over his shoulder "minutes before we got off the train Luna and I were talking about the long years I have been sealed away and soon I became curious which one of us was actually stronger and we both agreed that once the train came to a complete stop then we will start a brawl" he looked around noticing the massive destruction surrounding him. "Don't worry about the mess" he said closing his eyes and lighting his hands with his aura, in an instant everything from broken glass to bricks began to levitate with a light blue aura and in a matter of seconds all the buildings that they destroyed soon began to rebuild itself. After a few seconds of reconstruction, Deimos let out a soft sigh of relief and began walking towards Luna stretching his hand towards her "Let’s leave it a draw, okay?" he said with a smile.
"Alright" she said shaking his hand "but don't expect me to go easy on you the next time" she smiled.
"I won't count on it" Deimos laughed with a smile growing on his face. In a matter of seconds the whole crowed of spectators began to shout and cheer with all their might and quickly ran towards the two fighters with admiration patting them on their backs.
"Oh come on!" shouted Spike stomping the ground in frustration "I can't believe they called it a draw!”
"I want to see a rematch!" cried Rainbow flying in the air with an angry tone. "That can't possibly be the end of the battle!"
"Oh come on Dashie" Pinkie called out from the ground "don't be a sour loser"
"May I remind you that you and Applejack lost the bet as well darling" Answered raising an eyebrow in question.
"Tee I knew that" Pinkie snorted with laughter making Rarity become frustrated. As Pinkie continued laughing Applejack began to walk towards Fluttershy with a large bag of gold bits.
"Here ya go sure cube" she said handing the bag to the shy, confused girl, with a smile "this is for you". With a bit of hesitation Fulttershy slowly began to reach for the bag nearly dropping her do to its weight.
"I...I won?" she asked with a nervous tone.
"Ya sure did" Applejack smiled flicking the tip of her hat "while everyone else betted on Deimos or the Princess , you put your money on a draw and well ya won over Twenty-five thousand bits" after the words left her lips, Rarity's, Spikes, and Rainbow's mouths came to a hard drop and were left speechless.
"Oh...my" Futtlershy whispered looking at the bag but before she could speak Pinkie Pie quickly hugged her and dropped her to the ground.
"Way to go Fluttershy" she shouted with joy "what are you going to do with all those bits?"
"Well I’m going to go the animal shelter in Ponyville and donate half of it and the rest of it I’ll use it to make a bigger home for all the wonderful animals back at my house" answered Fluttershy with a cute smile. As she began to get off of the ground she noticed Twilight still with the same worried look on her face. Without hesitation she began walking towards Twilight and placed her and on the girls shoulder "Twilight are you okay?" she asked startling Twilight a little.
"Oh...yes I’m fine" the girl answered clearing her throat "I'm just a little tired that's all I’ll be fine" she said with a forced smile across her face.
"Hey you two were headed to the castle" shouted Spike waving his arm in the air "you guys coming?"
"Go ahead Fluttershy" Twilight answered "I just have to think of a few things for a bit"
"O...Okay" Fluttershy whispered slowly walking away from her friend and regrouped with the others.
As Twilight watch her Friends leave she turned her attention towards her sword which started to shine a light violet color. "Who are you?" twilight asked tightening her grip.
" There is no need to worry little one " It spoke " I am just....a part of you...young mistress... "
Twilight quickly shot her eyes open, while gasping for air only to find herself to what seemed to be a forever lasting dark abyss. "Hello?" she cried out. Her voice echoing all around her. As she began to stand form the cold dark floor a small light began to appear before her. In an instant the light began to shine brighter causing Twilight to hover her hand in front of her face.
So the white light answered ,with a female voice echoing towards the girl, We meet at last she said.
"Who are you?" asked twilight taking a step back, looking around the darkness "what is this place?”
There's nothing to fear little Mistress. My name is Iris she spoke with a majestic voice and right now you are in my domain .
"Why are you calling me Mistress? And why am I here?" Twilight asked with confusion
you are here because you asked who I was and you are a descendant from my master
"Wait...Master?"
that's correct Iris replied. Her voice echoing in the nothingness my master created me to serve him and his blood line she said. Before Twilight could answer a loud bells began to bong around them, causing Twilight to flinch, it appears our time is up Iris said as her voice began to fade until we meet again Mistress .
"Wait!" Twilight cried but was not able to stop the darkness from consuming her.
* * * * * *
In an instant twilight shot her eyes open and quickly stood up finding herself in a cold room, quickly placing her hand on her chest feeling her heart bet racing. "Hey take it easy" said Deimos walking to the couch she was laying on "everything is alright".
"Where...where am I?"
"In one of the royal guest rooms" Deimos began looking around room with a smile "Pretty big guest room in you ask me" he joked. Trying to cheer up the mood. "You were out for two days straight" he said feeling Twilight's forehead, causing her to blush. "Do you want some water?”
Unable to say a word, Twilight simply nodded her head tempting to hide the redness on her face. With a slight smile Deimos stood, calmly making his way towards the door and softly closing it leaving the girl to her thoughts. "Two days?" she whispered looking around the room and soon noticed a large black trench-coat covering her legs. "This is..." she said feeling the warmth of the coat as she slowly grabbed it.
"TWILIGHT!" Pinkie shouted hugging the girl with all her might. Behind her stood the rest of the girls with tears in their eyes.
"You had all of us worried" Rainbow called from the door.
"I'm sorry" Twilight hung her head.
"It wasn't your fault dear" said Rarity, Placing her and on the girls warm shoulder. Twilight looked at her with a small smile.
"How did I get here?"
"Ain't it obvious?" Applejack answered at the end of the couch "Deimos brought you up here".
"That's right!" Pinkie shouted letting go of the girl. "Once we entered the castle it began to rain really hard and all of a sudden "poof!" gone" she said waving her hands around.
"And a few minutes later he walked in soaking wet with you him arms" added Rainbow leaning on the wall with her arms crossed "said that he found you passed out on the ground and well he brought you up to his room right after he returned".
Twilight's cheeks began to turn bright red.Th...This is his room? she thought to herself but instantly remembering the dream she had while unconscious. "There's something I have to tell you guys" Twilight spoke looking at the girls with a serious expression.
* * * * *
Deimos made his through the hall way towards the kitchen but not before realizing that he lost his way "You got to be kidding me..." he sighed putting a hand on his head "why does this place have to be so big?"
"Lost yourself already?" Celestia called out walking towards him with a warm smile.
"Well I'm not really use to places like this" Deimos joked. Celestia's smile quickly disappeared and was replaced with a light look of sorrow.
"I can't imagine what you were put through" she whispered, tears starting to roll down her cheek "I...I'm so sorry-"
"Don't" Deimos put his hand in front of Celestia stopping her from speaking "as far as I’m concerned no one knew I even exited up until last night." he pulled her closer and held her in his strong, firm arms causing Celestia to sink her face in his chest letting out a soft cry. Deimos didn't say anything he just stood quietly and brushed Celestia's rainbow hair softly. It took Celestia a few minutes to finally settle down. "Feel better?" smiled Deimos wiping the tears from her cheek. Celestia nodded embarrassed of how wake she must have looked while crying. "Can I ask you something?"
Celestia look up at him and cleared her throat "of course" she replied "what would you like to know?"
"I want to know how you can be so certain I am really your brother." Deimos asked "It's just for all you know I could be an impostor trying to-"
"Take off your shirt" Celestia instantly interrupted him with a serious tone.
"I'm sorry...what?"
"Take off your shirt" Celestia demanded. Deimos stared at her wondering if she even realized what she just said. Letting out a soft sigh the boy began to lift his black V-neck shirt. As he took his shirt off Celestia fell silent to the horror of massive scars on her brother's whole body. Without saying a word she began to form her bright golden aura on her right hand and placed it on Deimos' chest.
"What are you doing?" He calmly asked as the aura began to consume his body.
"Don't worry..." Celestia began "every prisoner is branded with a symbol that looks like two hammers crossing each other. Usually the symbol is hidden with a spell so prisoners don't cut that part of their body"
"So this is some kind of hidden spell remover?"
Celestia laughed "something like that yes". A few seconds later the spell began warring off not reviling anything on the boy’s body. "There's your proof"
"What?" Deimos asked with a confused look "how does that prove anything?"
"Will from what I was told, you were put in Tartarus in secret" Celestia answered "you never really had a trial so that means you weren't branded" she stared at the marks on his body and began to run her fingers over them. Deimos stayed quiet not sure what else to say to his sister. "Is that one new?" Celestia asked touching three massive scars starting from his right shoulder down to his abdomen.
Deimos let out a small chuckle "yeah that one happened right when jailbreak started" he said "Cerberus began attacking all the prisoners and well he managed to get a good hit on me". Celestia let out a smile and placed here arms around him feeling his warmth on her body as she hugged him. Once Deimos placed his shirt back on, the two began walking towards the kitchen and as Deimos began to fill the small cup with water Celestia stared at him with a smile.
"Are you taking that to Twilight?" she asked leaning back on the kitchen counter.
"Yeah" Deimos answered placing the cup on the counter next to the sink. "She was out for three days straight so I figured she would be thirsty" for a few silence filled the kitchen and without a word Deimos began walking out of the room.
"Deimos..." Celestia called out quickly stopping him. Deimos looked back at her half way through the door. "Take care of her" she said with a soft warm smile. Deimos nodded and slowly closed the door behind him.
Walking down the hallway under the light of the beautiful night, Deimos looked up at the bright moon and smiled. "I will" he whispered as he making his way towards his room with the small cup of water in his hand.

"And well that's bestially all of it" Twilight explained. The four girls looked at each other with an expression on their faces.
"Iris..." murmured Spike under his breath "where have heard that name before-" he stopped and quickly ran out of the room a fast he could leaving the girls even more confused then what they already were. Several minutes later Spike reentered the room huffing and gasping from exhaustion with a small brown covered book in his hand. "H-here..." he said taking small breaths with every word "Read...this..." he handed the book to Twilight and collapsed on the ground.
Twilight opened the brown book and began to read the page Spike marked. "Iris..." she began "One of the ten divine weapons would be given to anyone who had the power to wield her. Throughout the years Iris was never able to be wield properly until it was handed to a one of the most powerful wizard in history, Starswirl the Bearded. Starswirl soon placed a spell on Iris which allowed only him or his blood line to wield her..." Twilight had a puzzled expression on her face. "This doesn't make any sense....If Starswirl actually place that spell...then why Iris is with me?" she asked looking at the girls.
"Isn't it obvious?" Luna's voice called from the bedroom door. "Iris wasn't chosen for you out of the random" she said walking towards the girls "she was passed down to because Starswirl was not only my teacher....but he is your great, great, great grandfather..."
