I paced around the room, just... thinking. What do they really have planned for me? "What to do?" A bright light engulfed the room.
Divine Master appeared before me. "I sensed that you are quite troubled."
"This group barely gave me any information. I don't know what they want me to do."
"Well, why don't you get some?"
"I tried talking to them, but the intercom was turned off."
"Then just be a spy. Join their ranks and get the information you need. And do not hurt anyone."
"Got it." Divine Master disappeared. I went up and grabbed the syringe and ear piece. "Here goes nothing." I stuck the syringe in my arm. After I pressed the plunger, my vision blurred. I tried to support myself with the stand, but it retreated back into the wall. I fell to my hands and knees as the world grew darker. My arms gave out and the world disappeared.
12 hours later...
I gave a grunt as I returned to the world. I felt the warmth of sheets. I opened my eyes, but got blinded by the light. I closed my eyes and covered my face.
"Oh, he's awake," said a voice next to me. I could here the accent, but I also heard some sadness. Then I realized, it was Rarity. "Gold, darling?"
I opened my eyes and blinked a few times to clear the right. When my vision returned to normal, I was able to see who was in the room. I saw all my friends with relieved looks on their faces. Rarity was sitting by my bedside. I saw mascara lines on her face, and black tissues in the trash can.
"Hey Rare." I pushed myself up into a sitting position.
Rarity immediately wrapped me in a hug. "I'm so glad your okay."
"You and me both."
AJ began to move everyone else out. "We'll give you two some privacy." The others went out into the hall and shut the door.
"How are you Gold?"
"Still hurting a bit. That tree did a number on my back."
Rarity wiped away a few tears. "Its just, after we finished saving Sunset, we didn't know where you were. Then Celestia told us you were in the hospital. And..." Rarity rubbed away more tears. "I'm just glad I could still be with you." Rarity rested her head on my shoulder. "But there is one thing I want to know, where did you get your powers from?"
"I don't know. They just started to appear. It was about the same time Sunset completely lost it."
"Oh, ok."
"Something wrong Rarity?"
"Nothing darling." She gave me a smile.
I didn't want to pursue the subject. I let it drop as the room fell silent.
Rarity returned home after she left the hospital. She closed her door and slid down with a releaved smile on her face. A bright light entered her room and a female in white armor appeared before her. "Radience? What are you doing here?"
"I was talking with Divine Master. He said Gold was in trouble."
"What do you mean? And who is this Divine Master?"
"Maybe it's time you learned the truth about what happened millennia ago..."
Long ago there was a group known as the Spiritual Guardians. They controlled the elements of the world, and people worshipped them as gods. There were two guardian's for each element. Divine Master and Radiance watched over the sky and heavens. Divine brought light to the world, while Radience gave the humans clear skies and the blue heavens. Shadewing and Midnight watched over the night and the darkness. Shadewing brought the humans peaceful dreams, and Midnight banished the darkness away from homes. Then there was Quake and Serine. Quack formed the mountains and valleys, and Serine formed the oceans and rivers. Finally there was Jolly and Floral. Jolly brought joy to people while floral created plants for them. It was a peaceful time, no fighting, no wars, no problems.
That was until a spiritualist grew tired of the Guardians. He thought that they were poisoning the world that the humans worked so hard to create. So he decided to do something drastic. He performed a ritual that caused an ancient evil to be released. The spiritualist thought he could control the beast, but he was used as food by the creature. It destroyed civilization in a matter of hours.
The Guardians knew that the only way of saving all the humans was to seal away the dark beast. They combined their powers, and successfully sealed away the beast. But the Guardians used the last of their life force to do so, and sealed themselves away to heal. The only time they would ever return, would be when Tenebris escapes the seal.
Rarity listened to Radiance's tale. "So that creature that we saw..."
"Was Tenebris." Radiance gave a solemn expression. "So the other Guardians won't be far behind. I must warn them, and they need to find their human warriors." Radiance opened up a portal into a beautiful blue sky.
"How do we tie into this?" asked Rarity.
"You will learn in time." She stepped through the portal and disappeared. Rarity sat down on her bed and tried to take everything in.
My ear piece began to crackle to life. "I see your doing well," said the same voice from before.
I pressed a button on my ear piece. "Let's get on with this."
"I'm doing good, thanks for asking," said their voice sounding annoyed. There was some clicking on the other side of the line. "Here is your first mission. Good luck." The line cut out.
I pulled out my phone and saw a new message. I opened it up:
New Mission
Objective: Search and Destroy
Target Armed: Dark Magic
Magic Level: Weak
"Seems simple enough. Let's see who the unlucky target is." I scrolled to the bottom of the message and found the target, and dropped my phone.
Eliminate Immediately
