//------------------------------// // I sense something // Story: Holocron // by Sawtoothetherium //------------------------------// Twilight read through the books fast, she was finally onto something, something big. She continued to read old legends and myths along with geological locations and linguistic translations. She was getting close, she could feel it. She slowly narrowed down the place to one area in the north. That was when Rainbow dash came in. “Hey Twilight,” She said, “Applejack asked for help at the farm, I came to get you.” “I’ll be there in a minute.” Twilight replied. “What are you doing,” Rainbow asked. “I believe I may have found an excavation site.” She said. “One that we should open.” “Okay, so after we’re done at the farm we’ll pack.” Rainbow said, “Where are we off to?” “The far north.” Twilight continued to explain while she and Rainbow went to sweet apple acres to assist with the harvest. She also told her friends about this and decided to get spike involved. So it was agreed that when the harvest was complete they would go north to the place Twilight had told them about. Luna sat four feet above the floor of her chambers and meditated on the near future, she had felt that there was a weakening in magic up north, to a place she knew well. She continued to meditate on what was happening soon, she saw the tomb that contained an evil she had defeated long ago, and evil that would soon escape. She opened her eyes and emmediately went to the closet that contained the small amount of clothing she owned. She went to the back of it and pulled out her black robes and belt over it. She put on the robes and attached a cylindrical piece of metal to her belt, at the end of the sleeves and pant legs were strips of cloth that held the actual clothing close to her. Luna left the room to the balcony and took off in a hurry, my master must not be allowed freedom, he must not escape, he would only cause more pain. So she sped across the nation to the location that she left to defend. Twilight and company trotted to the place on the map after landing the hot air balloon that carried them there, they stopped when the saw Luna approaching the cave they had intended to enter ahead of them. She wore strange black clothing and her crown regalia and shoes were gone. They weren’t sure what she was doing her but intended to find out, they followed her silently. When they reached the back of the cave they saw luna facing a smooth black wall covered in runes that glowed an angry red. They stopped and watched Luna go into the meditative position and float four feet above the ground, soon the wall opened into a hallway that resembled the wall they had seen moments before. Luna stepped down from her floating position and walked down the hallway with a determined look in her eye. Twilight and company followed, twilight felt a heavy tingling in her horn, magical disturbance. Spike shook with uncertainty while Fluttershy simply hid. Luna rounded a corner and they soon followed, to see her looking right at them. They jumped back a few inches in fright. “What are you doing here?” Luna demanded. “We could ask the same thing of you.” Rainbow said back. “I am here on business of my own,” Luna said, “It is best if it remains that.” “We learned of this place through twilight,” Spike said. “You need to leave,” She said, “It isn’t safe for you here.” Just as she said it she heard a thud, the door had closed. She sighed then turned and continued down the hallway into a large chamber. It was the size of a cathedral in all ways, along the wall were pedestals upon which were mounted small pyramids that glowed red with black markings on them. Recognition flashed through Lunas eyes, Twilight grew suspicious. “Get back,” Luna said with a hint of panic in her voice. That was enough, the group turned to leave but found that another door closed the hallway off. They turned back around to see a biped figure in a black, sleeved cloak. In its hand it had a cylinder of metal, from which a red blade shot out. Luna pulled out her own lightsaber and activated it, her blade was red too, but looked as though to be made of red lightning. The six ponies and one dragon began to back away. Luna sensed but didn’t see the red pyramids opening, their tips floating above the top where they rested. From them came more hooded figures, identical to the first one. They activated lightsabers of their own and surrounded luna. “Ah, my apprentice,” The first said, “It has been so long.” “I wish it were longer,” Luna said, “How are you here Amot?” “You should know darth,” He replied, “that it takes more than a tomb to hold a Sith.” “Let’s test that theory a second time now shall we?” Luna said. Luna emmediately shot a torrent of sith lightning from her horn, The Sith Lord Amot did the same from the fingers of his left hand, matching Lunas intensity with ease. Amot laughed at her amused, he hadn’t expected her to attack so quickly. Luna grew angry, her lightning intensified with her anger. “Yes, Yes, I can feel you anger, your hatred.” Amot said, “Use It! Strike me down and take my place as master of The Sith.” Luna faltered, the Sith Lord Amot took advantage of this and pushed Lunas lightning back and hit her with it. Luna screamed but refused to go down, she countered with a force shockwave that pushed everyone back. She charged at her former master with her lightsaber and attempted to remove his head. He blocked her strike and sent her flying back against the far wall with a force push, once she made contact she was caught in a force choke. Twilight and the rest had managed to escape somehow, she felt it. She slipped into unconsciousness.
