> The Island > by Phantom Writer > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 Shipwrecked > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Island Chapter 1. Shipwreck Twilight stood on helm of the ship. It was beautiful night. She smiled to herself as she watched the sails of the ship flap in the night's air. It feels like it was yesterday that they were leaving Equestria ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Today, Our brave new explorers shall venture off into the new world, What they shall find will change our way of life forever" Princess Celestia said "My sister, Princess Luna and my Niece Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, Shall be going on this brave journey" She raised her hoof "And three of the Elements of Harmony shall be joining the crew of the Pearl" Twilight stood with Applejack and Rarity as they stood next to the Princess's Twilight Smiled at the memory of that, She was named Captain of the Pearl ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Captain, We have been going around this storm for three days now" Said a brown pony walking up to her "We need to go through it" "If we go through it, We won't make it out alive" She said standing her ground "We must go through the storm! It is the only way we can cut our time on the sea" He said slamming his hoof on the deck "If we keep going around the storm we will never reach land" She looked at the brown pony "Night storm, You know we have to make sure the Princess's our safe" "With me and my crew working through the storm and you at the wheel we shall make it through the storm without a scratch" He said with a smile "Let me speak with the Princess's about this" She made her way down the stairs and into captain's quarters, There she found. Rarity, Applejack, Luna and Cadence playing cards "Twilight! How's the ship holding up?" Luna asked "I need to speak with you about the storm" She said taking a seat next to Applejack "What about the storm?" "We have already lost three day's due to the storm, The crew think we should go through the storm" Luna looked at Twilight then back at her cards "If the crew wishes to go through the storm then we shall go through the storm" Luna layed her cards down "Full house girls" "How do you keep winning!" They all said putting their cards down "Years of playing girls" She notice Twilight's face "If you wish to rest, I shall have Shinning take command of the ship" Twilight looked at the Princess "No, As captain i shall lead this ship" She made her way back to the helm "What are our orders Captain" Night Storm asked "Were heading into the storm" She held her gaze on the storm The Pearl went up and down waves thrashing around the ship, Twilight held the wheel The crew held the sails in place as the waves crashed around the ship, Lightning strikes around the water rain poured down, The wind blowing around like wild "MAELSTROM!" Yelled Night Storm Last thing Twilight saw was darkness swallowing her ship and the crew ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She slowly opened her eyes and looked around, She notice she was no longer on her ship anymore "I see you're awake" Said a voice "I bet you're hungry" He hand her some grass and oats She looked at the strange creature in front of her, His kinda long short hair hanged in front of his face, His brown eye's looking at her "Where am i?" She trying to figure out where she was He was shocked to see her talking "You can talk?" "Yes, I can talk" She looked around she then felt a sharp pain in her leg "My leg" She pulled the blankets away from her legs and notice her leg was wrapped "Your leg is broken, You're lucky i know much about a horse body" "I am not a horse i am a pony" She said glaring at him "Sorry" He looked at her "Am i the only one you found?" "So far you're the only one i found, You crashed into my house" He pointed to the roof "If there our others.... Then let's pray they didn't land near the beach" "What would happen if they landed on the beach?" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applejack looked around as she felt her body hurting "What... What happened?" "These things attacked us... They took us and locked us up inside these cells" Night Storm said "Only we made it out alive" "Ya sayin' my friends are dead?" "No, Rarity is alive, She's is still sleeping" He said "Twilight, Shining Armor and the Princess's are missing" There was some banging noise before three ugly beast came to the cell door, Their teeth were covered in blood, They were paler than anything they have ever seen before. Their eyes were pure red. They threw down some water and walked away -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What do you mean they will eat them alive!" Twilight yelled "They eat anything that comes near their territory" He said "If your friends are alive they will lock them up in the cells to keep them for future meals" Twilight notice the creatures was pulling out a bow and arrows "I shall go find out if your friends are alive, You'll be safe here" "Before you go, What is your name?" "Names Blaze Michaels, There are some books you can read and paper if you wish to write something down" Blaze went to grab a bag when something fell out of it "Spike!" She looked as the small dragon landed on the ground Spike was rubbing his head "Where am i?" Blaze looked puzzled "He's with you?" "Yes" She looked at the dragon "Spike what did you do to make yourself small?" "Applebloom helped me make a position to make myself small so i could sneak onto the ship" He shook his head then looked around "The position will wear off soon and i shall grow back" "I'll let you two talk, I'll be back as soon as i find your friends" Blaze left the two to talk ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blaze was held up in the woods watching the creatures eating what looked like ponies over an open fire, He looked up at the full moon in and sky "I'm so glad dad never let me eat meat" Blaze held his bow aiming towards the walls of the tribe, He let it fly slamming into wall, the rope tied to the arrow fell, Blaze made his way up the wall and into the tribe Night Storm stood in front of Rarity his horn glowing "Come near me and i'll blast you back to hell!" They saw a blade go right through the creatures, It fell to the ground "Do you know a Twilight?" "She is our friend!" Applejack said running to the bars on the side of their cells "Is she alright?" "She has a broken leg but she'll be fine" He said "Are you the only one's here?" "As far as we know" Night Storm said Blaze walked over to them and notice the wound on the white mare "How long has she been out?" "About and hour i would say" Blaze didn't like that "Can you carry her?" "Yeah, But how do you plan on getting us out of here?" "I've been here before, So i know there is a back door you can take that will lead to the ruins" He placed the sword on his side "Do not I mean it Do not stop running, Once you get there don't leave, Wait for me, I'll take you to Twilight" Blaze kicked open the cell door for Applejack "Wait for them to come after me, Then run towards the back towers" "How do you plan on out running them?" "I set some traps just outside of the tribe, Only i know where they are at" Blaze pulled the touch that was in the cell You're lucky it's night, They suck at hunting at night" He looked at them "Besides, They love human flesh better than pony flesh" He took off running "COME GET ME YOU HUNGRY BASTARDS!" Blaze yelled running out the front gates, Every last one of those things followed Blaze "Like moth to a flame" Night Storm carried Rarity on his back as they ran into the forest -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blaze through the touch down on the ground and a giant fire wall flew up.He smiled as the flames grew higher "When you chase me, You'll be burning" He could hear them screaming, He watched as the rest backed away turning back and leaving him alone Blaze ran into the forest heading towards the ruins He ran for hours before he found the ruins He looked around the old ruins "You here?" "Yeah, We're here" He notice the orange pony was standing next to the white one Blaze walked over and opened her eye's "They poisoned her, Lucky for you, I know a care for her" He looked to her leg "Why would they poison her?" They both asked "To make her taste better" he notice how they tried to wrap her leg "I need to clean out her wound, Can you two get me some herbs?" "Whatcha need?" Applejack asked Blaze pulled out a book "This journal has the herbs i need for the cure, One of you will need to take the book while the other gets some fresh water, Then i'll need some wood to make a fire" "I can get the herbs" Night Storm said taking the book and running into the forest "And i can help with the water and fire" Blaze took off his shirt and started ripping it Blaze then handed her his canteen "Fill that up with water and bring it back here" Applejack took off into the forest "You're already getting a fever" Blaze felt her forehead "You're burning up" "Spikey-Wikey, Came save me" She whispered Blaze tried not to laugh at the name "Don't worry, He'll save you just in time" He went to his bag and pulled out his first aid kit and started working on the wound ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Night Storm went through the book and started grabbing anything that would be needed for the cure "These flowers are strange" He spoke to no pony "Wonder why they look so.... Evil" He made his way back to the old ruins there he saw Applejack helping this thing with the fire "I got the herbs" He hand Blaze the bag "I have never seen these flowers before. You sure they will help with a cure?" "Yes, The flowers here can be poisonous if not made right" Blaze started smashing the flowers up in his hand and putting each flower inside the canteen "Now we just let it cook" "How long till it's ready?" "Not long" He said placing the the canteen near the fire "Right now she needs to stay warm, Her body will soon start to lose heat, Then she'll go into shock" Blaze looked at the two "It's a good thing i got to you when i did or they would be eating pony stew" "Do you have any idea what those things are?" Applejack asked "From the old text i got from the temple from these ruins, They are some kind of monster that were made to keep the island safe from armies, The text says that these things were named after the dead, for they ate the bodies of the dead" He looked over at the rumanes of the temple "The name to those things is missing so i just call them eaters" Night Storm looked up at the sky and notice the stars were wrong "Did you guys come here my ship?" "Yeah, We went into the storm" Night Strom said "That's the last thing i remember" "Well your lucky Twilight crash through my roof" He said "Your crew wasn't so lucky, Sorry about them" Applejack look down to the ground "They fought to the death, We are the only ones who managed to make it out alive" Strom said "I was trying to keep Applejack and Rarity safe when they attacked, Our ship is still on the beach" "I'll head over that way in the morning, Right now we need to keep an eye on your friend for now" He looked to the white mare "Let's just pray that i made the right choice in moving you" he said to himself ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Sir, Your guest are here" Said a man in a suit of armor "Are they the ponies i wanted?" Said the the voice "Yes, The two princesses are here like you asked "Good" To Be Continued > Chapter 2. Getting home, You Idiot > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Island Chapter 2. Getting home, You Idiot ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luna slowly opened her eyes, She notice she wasn't on the ship anymore She saw Princess Candace out cold on the ground with a strange metal ring around her horn, She notice Shinning armor was next to her trying to wake her up "W-What's going on?" Shinning Armor looked towards Luna and rushed over to her "I'm so glad your awake! I can't wake her" She shook her head an felt something wrong on her horn "Shinning, Please tell me i don't have anything on my horn" "We all have one on our horns" He said showing his "It's keeping me from using my magic" They then heard a voice "YOU IDIOTS! WHERE IS CELESTIA! I NEED HER FOR MY PLAN AS WELL!" "Were sorry sir, We thought these two were sisters" "WE ONLY HAVE LUNA! WE NEED CELESTIA IF I WISH.... Wait.. This can work, We have her sister" The shadow of a man walked into the cell room "Well, Well.. Tell me Princess Luna, How are you?" /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ After an hour of walking, Blaze carried Rarity while Applejack and Night Storm followed Blaze Blaze smiled as they made it to his house "Alright you two, Go up the ladder, I'll be right behind you" They went up the ladder, Blaze made sure Rarity was okay before he started to climb When they made it to the top, Blaze saw all of his books all on the floor in piles "Why are my books in piles?" He looked around and Twilight was hugging Applejack "Sorry about the mess, I was just going through each books" She said with a smile "It's fine" Blaze walked over to her and slowly place Rarity down on the little bed Twilight got worried when she notice the wound on her leg "W-Will she be okay?" "Yeah, Right now she just need to rest" Blaze walked off into another room then walked back into the room with a first aid kit After awhile the sun started to raise and Blaze started packing a bag "Where are you going?" Twilight asked "I need to make run to a local village for some medicine" He looked at the ponies and Dragon "I'll be right back" "I'll come with you" Applejack said walking over to him "Alright, Just be warn, I won't be stopping if you need a break" "I was about to say the same to ya" She said Twilight and Night Storm talked "Your telling me, She was having nightmares?" Twilight asked looking at her friend "Yes, Blaze gave her a cure" Night said "He said it would help her fight" Twilight notice Spike was standing next to her, His size has doubled from before, He was once the size of his old self now he's in his teen form... How she missed the small baby dragon "How's your leg?" Night asked "It's stings" She said "So.. Who are we missing?" "Luna, Cadance, Shinning... That's really the only ponies we are missing" "What about the crew?" Night storm looked away "They didn't make it" "I'm sorry" "There in a better place now" /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/V Blaze cut the trees in front of him as he made his way through the jungle "How did we go from forest to jungle?" Applejack asked "It's the Island, Let's be glad were not passing through the snow" He said slicing the last vine and there stood what looked like a castle "Is... Is that a castle?" "It is, We rebuilt it to keep us safe from outsiders, But we soon found out we were the only ones really here" "Okay" Blaze walked up to the gate "Hey! Jack, Mary! You two working today!?" The two looked down "Blaze! Is that you!? What are you doing here!?" "Let me in and i'll tell you!" The drawbridge fell down and Blaze and Applejack walked across into the the court yard, Inside Applejack saw all the stands with food with other humans like Blaze, Some were men some were women and some were just children, Blaze looked over at the tower and saw Mary and Jack come down "Hey it's good to see you again Blaze" Mary said hugging him "It's good to see you too Mary" He said hugging back Jack walked over with a smile, Mary let go of Blaze "Hey, You know your uncle won't be happy to see you here" "My uncle won't know i'm even here, I just need some medicine, I got a bite victim, Then i have two victims with a broken leg" Mary notice the color pony "Am i seeing things or is there a orange pony?" "Ya ain't seeing things" Applejack said "It would seem my father was right about this island, It will bring anything from any world to it" "How did they get here?" Jack asked "By ship, They landed on the beach near those things" Blaze said looking at Jack "There still missing three of there friends, I don't know where they are at" "Well.... Your uncle has been way to happy these days" Mary said "Maybe he found them" "Maybe, I guess i'll have to talk with him, Give Applejack here some of the medicine and i'll pay for everything" Blaze made his way towards the castle \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\//\/\/ Inside a man with a golden crown sat on his throne, His short dark hair looked to be shining eye dark blue eyes were to bright and his face was way to happy "Hello Uncle, I see your really happy" "Yes, I am my boy, I'm so happy i'm not going to kill you" He said with his grin, This made Blaze wonder what the heck he was so happy about "Why is that?" "We will finally get off this island" He said jumping to his feet "After so many years we will take the gold we have collected here and be rich in our world" "How do you plan on passing the sea monster?" "I'm not telling you! If i told you then you would follow us and i will never be rid of you" He said making his way down the stairs from his throne and walked up to him "When we leave you can have fun with what is left of this island" "Uncle, You my father tryed everything to try and get off this island, What chance do you have?" He started laughing "I have a why! NOW GO! Before i kill you" Blaze walked away leaving his uncle He walked back outside to Applejack, He notice the bags on her side "Here is the gold" Blaze said handing them a sack "This will help pay off what you owe" "Did you find out why he is so happy?" Mary asked "He says he'll all of you will be leaving this island" Blaze looked towards Jack "Don't listen to him, Whatever he has plans don't follow him" "We won't" They both said "Well, I better be getting back, It was good seeing you two again" Blaze gave Jack a hand shake and Mary gave Blaze one last hug, Jack and Mary watched as Blaze and Applejack leave back into the jungle "Do you think he'll be back?" Mary asked "Of course, His uncle is way to happy" Jack said "Tell Amber to be on watch and to let him in if she see's him" /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ When Blaze and Applejack got back to the house Applejack went to go sit down while Blaze took care of the two injured ponies /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ That night Blaze had Night Storm come with him to the castle "So, How do we get in?" Night asked "There is a secret tunnel that is right in the water, We'll take that and moved towards the throne room, My uncle thinks no one knows about his secret room under the throne but i do, There will find out what he is planning" Blaze said looking at the guards "How do we get pass the guards?" "They will be easy, See that one right there?" Blaze said pointing at the female guard, Night Storm nodded "She'll see us and will help us out" They made there way towards the moat, Amber saw them and just kept her guard, Blaze found the secret lever and opened the door, They both snuck inside and found them self's inside the throne room "Wow... This place looks nice" Night storm said "Shh, Wait" Blaze said stopping Night storm from going any further "What?.. What is it?" Blaze saw a strange hooded man inside the room "The hour will soon be here, When the eclipse happens the portal will open, I'll send my army through the portal and take back my world, Then i'll send you and your people back to your world, As long as you find Twilight Sparkle" "What does this Sparkle has to do with anything?" "She is one of the elements of harmony, If i have her locked away, Celestia won't be able to stop me" "We need to leave now" Blaze said to Night Storm, They made it through the secret passage "Shall i follow him?" The uncle asked "No, My men will follow him" /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Blaze and Night Storm got back to the tree house, Blaze climbed the latter and BOOOM The tree house went up in smokes as everything Night Storm watched as he saw Blaze place go up in smokes along with him, He then felt something hit the back of his neck knocking him out /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Twilight slowly away as she looked around the cell, She felt something strange on her horn, She saw Applejack, Rarity and Spike out cold in the cell "Hope you enjoy your stay miss Sparkle, This will be your home from now on" Twlight looked up to only see a dark figure as it walked away To Be Continued > Chapter 3. What? Work together > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Island Chapter 3. What? Work together --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blaze watched as his tree house was on fire "They will pay for this" Blaze said making his way into the forest After awhile of walking Blaze saw the castle and saw that the whole place was empty "I'm to late" He made his way inside "I wonder where they are" He made his way deeper inside the castle when he saw "N-No... He killed them" A pile of body's were in the middle of the room, Women children and even men were piled in "Why would he do this?" "Because i need human blood to open the portal" Said a voice Blaze looked around the room trying to find the voice, He saw a sword and picked it up "Why all of these people?" "They wanted to stay in this world, They chose their fate" The dark figure stood in front of Blaze "You can join me in this fight, Help me and i'll bring back your father" Blaze held his sword towards him "My father is in a better place" Blaze raised his sword ready to fight when he disappeared "You have chosen your fate Blaze" The floor started to glow and a bright light was all Blaze was gone --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luna, Twilight and Cadance were chained to the side and their horns were being used to bring froth a portal "With the castle soaked in blood, Soon the portal to this world will allow me to return back home and kill your sister Luna" "Why do you wish to kill my sister?" Luna asked angry "Your sister locked me away in this world, Now i'll show her i can never die" Said the figure "My sister will stop you" Luna felt a sharp pain came across her cheek "She'll never stop me" He said as he held his hand away from her -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blaze slowly awoke to see spears place towards his face "Note to self, Stop pissing people off" Blaze said trying to not to get killed "Please remove your spears" Said the white Alicorn They did as they were told as Blaze got onto his feet "Thanks for calling them off" I notice they were all looking at the sky, I looked behind me to see a rip in the sky showing a swirling vortex "Are you the one who made that?" The white Alicorn asked "No, I didn't make it" He said looking back at the white Alicorn "Mind telling who is?" "I don't really know who is doing this, My uncle is working with someone who made that thing" He said Soon a dark hooded figure stood behind Blaze "Hello Celestia, Long time no see" "You are you?" Celestia said as her guards rushed around the figure SPLAT Blood went flying every where "Did you really think your pets could stop me?" "You monster!" Celestia fired her magic towards the figure, Blaze jumped out of the way as the magic hit it's target "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" Celestia watched the smoke cleared, The figure was still standing there laughing "I have grown much stronger Celestia!" "I'll stop you!" She yelled her horn glowing "I don't think so!" He tossed a metal ring that wrapped around her horn making her horn stop glowing "I still need your magic to open the portal fully" He said walking up to Celestia who was on the ground, She was hurting "Now, Open the portal!" He raised his hands and magic started to flow out, A yellow light came flying out of Celestia and it went into the figiure The portal in the sky grew even more allow the island to been seen Blaze saw the spear next to him, He grabbed it and tossed it at the figuer "And what do you think your doing?" He asked as the spear stopped dead in it's tracks "Stopping you!" Blaze grabbed the sword that was lying down on the ground and jumped into the air cutting off the figures hand He screamed as i stabbed him, The hoodie fell back showing the mans face "D-Dad?" "Hello son" He said "Why?" "Revenge my dear son, If i didn't do this, He would have killed you" He said "Kill her son, End this for me" "No, You told never to kill" Blaze said, His eyes glaring at his father "This isn't you!" "It is my son, And you'll turn into me one day" Blaze watched as his closed his eyes Blaze pulled the sword out of his chest, He had killed his father The metal ring that was on Celestia fell to the ground, Blaze and his father faded away and the portal closed ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blaze stood in a field, He looked at the body on the ground. He saw it fad away into dust "I see my puppet didn't work" Said another hooded figure "What did you just say?" Blaze said wipping around with his sword ready to fight "I said my puppet didn't work, I should have made a better clone" Blaze rushed him going to stab him when he disappeared "Fight me!" He yelled "Sorry my dear boy, Not just yet, I still have revenge i must get out of the way before we battle, As a token of my good will here" There was a flash of light Luna was standing next to Blaze who was shocked to see another tall pony "If you two can work together and find me, I'll let your friends go, If you can't, Well you'll find out" "What is going on?" Luna asked "I have no clue" Blaze said seeing the figure reappear not to far from them "Blaze meet Princess Luna, Princess Luna, Meet Blaze, You two are on the south side of the island, If you can find where i am holding the other's, I'll free them, Only if you two worked together in finding me" They both watched a he faded away ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The figure stood back inside the dark cave looking over the other ponies "Lets see what i can do with these ponies" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia stood over looking her kingdom as a letter was sitting in front of her Dear Princes Celestia You remember me right? I am after all a former student of yours. What you saw today was a test, Soon you'll see my true power come into play. Soon someone you care about will die, And it will be by your own hoofs Sighed by your faithful student Darkness Of Heats P.S This was written in blood She rolled the letter up as she stood watching the sun slowly start to move down "This isn't good" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Be Continued
