//------------------------------// // That's quite a history lesson wouldn't you say? // Story: My Little Pony: The Last Twonicorn // by No1MporXant //------------------------------// Then we see the train pulling up to the Crystal Empire's train station, where Cadence, Shining Armor & the Empire's Crystal Royal Guard are all awaiting Claymore's arrival, when the train doors open and a bunch of passengers come out, a few seconds later we see Twilight & the others come out. "Twily?" says Shining Armor, "What are you doing here?". "We were informed by Celestia about the situation" says Cadence, "But we were expecting to meet Claymore". Twilight then just points up & says "He's up there". Then they all look up & see him standing on the train roof, looking around the city using his Twonicorn Sense trying to find the location of the Dark Soul Bell, then he leaps off the train, then starts walking towards Cadence, Shining & the Crystal Guard, Cadence tries to give Claymore a happy greetings to the empire, but Claymore just uses telekinesis to push everyone to the sides while saying "Yeah Whatever". Shining Armor takes this offensively & walks over to Claymore saying "Hey you, what's the big idea, we were just welcoming you, you don't have-". Then Claymore interrupts saying "I don't have time for this". Then Shining gets more angry & runs right up in front of Claymore, stopping him in his path and says "Hey, I'm talking to you-". But then Claymore holds one of his shurikens up to Shining's chin and tells him "I'm only going to say this once, Don't, Get, In, My, Way!". Then he magically lifts Shining up and throws him backwards, then Claymore starts walking again while using his Twonicorn Sense, only to be stopped by the Crystal Guard, who are planning to arrest him for threatening & assaulting the Prince, but then Cadence(who is well aware of Claymore's past & the threat of Grogar) says "No Crystal Guard, Stand Down!". "What? But your Highness-" says one of the guards. "I Said Stand DOWN!" says Cadence, then the Crystal Guard backs away from Claymore & he continues onward. Cadence then tends to Shining, "Geez, What's that guy's Deal?" says Shining. "Let it go Shining" says Cadence, "It's not worth it with him". "Are you Kidding me?!" replies Shining "Did you see what he just did to me?!". "Yes" says Cadence, "But it's not his fault, back when I was still new to the whole being an Alicorn Princess deal, I actually met Claymore, Aunt Celestia told me all about him(then they start following Claymore while Cadence keeps explaining), being the last of the Twonicorns meant he had to take on all of the responsibilities of his entire species, ever since he was just a colt, he's lived a very rough life, it's only natural that he's experienced horrible things that ended up leaving him traumatized & emotionally unstable, besides he's way more powerful than even Celestia, so he can seriously kick your tail...Hard!". "Yeah" says Shining, "Well I still don't like this guy". "But like him or not" says Cadence, "He's still our only hope of stopping Grogar". Then Spike comes up & says "Yeah, except this guy's not planning to STOP Grogar, but to END him". Then Applejack adds in "As in, Claymore plans to-(then she swipes her hoof across her neck while saying a high-pitched)-Koweak, Grogar". "What?!" says Shining, "That's crazy! Heroes don't to that". Then Claymore interrupts saying "I'm no hero, I'm just someone who gets the job done, no matter what it takes". Then Shining says sarcastically "Well that's sure comforting!". "Shining" says Cadence, "I'm sure he only does this not because he wants to, but because he has to, this guy travels all over the globe, stopping disastrous threats, saving countless lives, and he never asks for anything in return...not even a simple Thank You, that's got to make him like the noblest warrior there is, the world needs what he can do, that's what makes him the good guy, and that's all it ever took to make me look up to him". Shining then says "Yeah, well maybe if he had a better attitude he'd probably be seen more as a hero than just a jerk". "And that's why I'm here" says Twilight, "As the Princess of Friendship it's my responsibility to spread the Magic of Friendship to those who need it, and right now Claymore desperate needs it, he never got to make any friends ever since he was little, and I plan to have him make me his friend". "I don't know Twilight" says Cadence, "You might be biting off a lot more than you can chew here". "No!" says Twilight, "I have to do this, for Claymore's sake, no pony should ever have to live their entire lives without any friends, especially when you're the last of your own kind & don't even remember who you used to be". Shining & Cadence just go ahead and agree with Twilight, then we reach the crystal castle, where Claymore senses that the Dark Soul Bell is somewhere within the castle, suddenly the sun stops shining, then Rarity looks up to the sky telling everyone "Look at that!". Everyone looks up to see dark clouds spreading all over Equestria's sky like butter on a bagel, "I really don't like the looks of those clouds" says Fluttershy. Claymore doesn't even looking up at all & just entering the castle while saying "A sign that Tambelon is getting closer to it's arrival, the Sun won't be able to help us again anytime soon". Everyone then gets worried & follows him into the castle, later we come to the thrown room, where Claymore comes in with the Mane 6, Spike, Cadence & Shining Armor all close behind him, Claymore still having his horns glowing showing that he's still using his Twonicorn sense, he then says "It's close". The others all fell a little skeptic about that, Shining asks "Seriously?". "I'm sure we would have noticed a powerful dark magical artifact being somewhere in the thrown room at some point before you came along" says Cadence. Claymore then stares at the wall with the thrown while saying "You can only see with your Eyes, I can see with my Mind(referring to the phenomenon known as the Mind's Eye)", then he uses his Twonicorn magic to make the thrown split down the middle(with a beam of light going down the seam) and sliding open to the sides, revealing a secret room hidden behind the thrown. Everyone is amazed by this, then they enter the secret room, where they investigate the room's hidden secrets & treasures that were sealed within, but they can't find the Dark Soul Bell, then Claymore notices hoof-prints on the floor that don't belong to any of them while he goes "Hmmm", then Claymore uses his Twonicorn Magic to cast a spell that creates a huge bubble-like dome that engulfs the entire room & everyone in it. "What is this?" asks Twilight. "Historical Event Replay Spell(which acts similar to the effects of the Time Flower from the 8th Pokemon Movie Lucario and the Mystery of Mew), it'll reveal what happened last time in this very room" says Claymore. "Really? I've never even heard of that spell before" says Twilight. "Picked it up while training in Bridlaria(pony version of Bavaria, crossed with Bridle)" replies Claymore. We then see a holographic image of Princess Amore entering the hidden room, then we see her take the Dark Soul Bell out from a satchel hidden behind her long mane, and she says "To think that from this little bell corrupting the unique minerals around this land, the entire Umbrum(Shadow Ponies) Race was born, never again must this powerful relic fall into the wrong possession", then she places the bell on a small pedestal, which is then engulfed in a protective bubble-shaped barrier, then she has that part of the room sealed off, by using her Unique Magic to make a wall come down from the ceiling, then she says "This should hopefully ensure that no one else ever finds it", then she leaves the room & the Replay spell ends there, returning everything back to normal.
