//------------------------------// // Chapter XXVIII: Dismiss (Part 1) // Story: KINGDOM HEARTS: Dark Order // by OliverSparkle //------------------------------// Just outside an open big field on top of green hall of Canterlot, a big light appeared out of nowhere and out came Terra, Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer as the light disappeared behind them. The Keyblade and the two ponies looked around the area figuring out where they are now until they realise they were outside of Canterlot. “Wait, this is the outside of Canterlot,” said Sunset Shimmer, “How and why are we here?” “Not sure, Sunset,” replied Starlight Glimmer, “It could be my fear this time or... or another Cozy Glow trick.” Suddenly, a voice was heard from the distance. “Not quite a next fear nightmare from any of you, or another trick from Empress Cozy Glow.” The three looked around the field trying to find where that voice was coming from. Just then, a dark corridor appeared near them and out came Xemnas as the corridor disappeared behind him. The three stood in battle mode while glaring at Xemnas. Terra suddenly caught some of Xehanort’s scent from Xemnas. He knows that he was another of Xehanort’s form, this was his Nobody. “Xehanort’s scent,” Terra said, “You’re another one of Xehanort’s forms after taking over my body. You’re his Nobody.” Xemnas stared at them for a few seconds before speaking, “What you see here, is the past when Sora first entered here and before you faced the legion of doom to save Lightning Twister.” “The past?” Sunset was confuse by this since she never really experienced time travel before. Starlight saw something up ahead and looked to her left. There she saw, just inside the castle through one of the windows, was her along with her friends, Sora, Discord, the sisters, the married couple, the pillars, Flurry Heart, Gabby, Tempest Shadow, Ember, the young seven and the legion of doom. That was the moment Chrysalis told Oliver she was his mother. Starlight let out a gasp of shock before looking at Terra and Starlight and said, “Guys, he’s right! We are in the past!” She pointed a hoof at the castle, “Look!” Terra and Sunset looked to where Starlight was pointing at and saw she was right. There they saw that moment where Chrysalis told Oliver the truth about his real parents through the windows of the castle. “Sweet Celestia, you’re right!” Sunset said in shock, “I remember this. By the time we discovered that Discord was Grogar the whole time, Chrysalis revealed that she was Oliver’s real mother. But wait, wasn’t there also an armoured pony which was his real father that quickly came to Oliver’s rescue when Chrysalis was about to kill him?” “Armoured pony?” Asked Terra in confusion. Suddenly, a dusty tornado appeared in front of the three and Xemnas. It then disappeared to reveal the Lingering Will Pony, also known as Oliver’s real father, staring at the castle. Terra let out a small gasp of shock after seeing the Lingering Will Pony while also having a deep shock look on his face. The Lingering Will Pony was wearing the same armour like his only his cape has different colours to the one Terra has. “He’s wearing the same armour I have! Only, the cape has different colours to mine.” “The pony, you called Oliver’s real father, has been watching them the whole time,” explained Xemnas, “The time for the young prince to learn the truth about his real parents has finally come. He now knows who they are, but he doesn’t know that his father is somehow still alive after keeping him away from the Changeling Queen.” Sunset gasped in shock before saying, “Of course, I remember! After Chrysalis explained to Oliver about her being his real mother, she tried to get him to join her. But he refuses to join her, so Chrysalis had no other choice but to kill her. However, when she was about to destroy him, his real father got in the way and fought her while we were all left to be captured by the other five villains.” “So if I’m fully correct,” said Starlight, “Oliver’s real father must have been here the whole time waiting for the perfect moment to stop Chrysalis from destroying his own son.” The Lingering Will Pony continued to watch on for a few more seconds until a bright light appeared. “If it means saving those I really care about like they care for me...so be it.” Chrysalis growled angrily before her horn began to glow dark green again as she then charged very quickly towards her no longer son. But just as she was about to attack Oliver, something appeared quickly in front of the alicorn as Chrysalis clash into it causing smoke to appear making it unable to see what was going on. Chrysalis was growling again while struggling to get close to Oliver so she can attack him. But she stopped as her eyes began to move a bit trying to see who was stopping her in her tracks. Her eyes then grew into shock as she saw who was stopping her. It was a keyblade that had a longer and more extravagant blade with teeth on both sides at the tip of the blade. The hand guard also elongates to form a wing-like shape of sorts. And holding the keyblade was an armoured pony. Its helmet is mostly gold, except for its black visor, and it sports two red prongs one on either side of the helmet that point upwards. The hooves of the armor are black and have orange patterns decorating them. Its knee guards, gauntlets, breast plate, and armored boots are gold, and there are other, smaller pieces of gold armor on its hooves. It wears black pauldrons with gold edges. The front of the armor on its torso is red, as are small pieces of armor on its lower hooves and gauntlets. It also wears gold anklets with red spikes on the back that curve upward sharply. It was all darker in coloration, and it also wears a cape that is gold on the outside and dark red on the inside. It was like The Lingering Will But in pony form. Chrysalis continued to struggle to get past, but the armoured pony was far too strong for her as it continued to keep her away from Oliver with its keyblade. “Who, are you?!” She asked furiously before she was pushed back a bit by the armoured pony as it then spoke in a male voice. “Got you, Chrysalis.” The armoured pony slowly pushed Chrysalis down with his keyblade before she jumped up in the air and flew backwards before landing in front of the rest of the legion of doom. Everyone, except for the villains, were both shock and confuse at the armoured pony with the way he just saved Oliver and who he really was. Oliver had a confuse, with a little bit of shock, look on his face before saying, “Dad?” Chrysalis growled angrily a bit as she then said, “This is impossible!” The Lingering Will pony started to walk towards the evil Changeling while holding his keyblade in his right hoof. “How I waited, for this moment.” He stopped a few miles away from Chrysalis as she started to stand in battle mode ready to fight the Lingering Will pony. The Lingering Will pony swung his keyblade to the right side as the blade turned itself into a rope blade and he swung it towards Chrysalis making the rope blade wrap itself around Chrysalis’s horn as she moved her head back to try to break free from the tied rope blade, but it wasn’t any good since it was too strong for her to break free from. He then swung the rope blade to the left before swinging it in mid-air making Chrysalis swing away in the air still tied up around her horn. The evil Changeling manage to escape the rope blade swing by teleporting herself out of the tied up rope blade as she glared at the armoured pony before spinning herself towards him and flying straight to him. But the Lingering Will pony was too quick on his hooves as his keyblade turned into a cannon blade. He held it with both of his two hooves, aimed it towards Chrysalis as it began to pump up enough light energy to blast at the ex-Queen. Chrysalis let out a small gasp as the cannon blade suddenly blasted a light beam at the evil Changeling making her scream in pain. The light beam suddenly disappeared after a few more seconds as Chrysalis glared at the Lingering Will pony once more while summoning her dark sword and held it in her dark green grasp. The Lingering Will pony ran towards Chrysalis, while his keyblade turned back into its normal blade, before flying towards her and started clashing his keyblade with her sword. They were now having a keyblade and sword fight. The armoured pony smacked the evil queen, with his keyblade, making her flying towards a window on the right and broke through it as the Lingering Will pony flew out of the broken window to continue his fight with Chrysalis. Outside the Canterlot castle, one beam of light and one beam of darkness were flying around in the air clashing into one another several times while fighting. The light beam was the Lingering Will Pony while the darkness beam was Chrysalis. The two beams clashed one another twenty times before crashing down the grass ground hardly making dust fly in mid air. The dust disappeared as the Lingering Will Pony and Chrysalis clashed their weapons one more time before both flying backwards and landed on their hooves. Chrysalis was now breathing heavily and angrily while glaring at the Lingering Will Pony and still holding her sword in her dark green grasp. “Wretched spirit pony!” The Lingering Will Pony stood back onto his hooves while holding his Keyblade, and staring at Chrysalis before saying, “As long as anger and revenge resides within you, you’re a threat to my son!” Chrysalis grinned evilly at the armoured pony while saying, “Heh! How noble, you would give your life for his?” While pointing his Keyblade at the evil Changeling, the Lingering Will Pony said, “You must be removed from existence... at all costs!” Chrysalis continued to grin evilly at the Lingering Will Pony as they continued to stare at each other for a few more seconds before quickly sliding towards each other causing a giant wave of dust to appear and flew away. The two clashed their sword and Keyblade to each other and tried to push each other back but couldn’t do it since they were both equally match. Back on the green mountain hill, Terra and the two ponies watching the fight from above. Xemnas has already left just before the fight began. Terra started to let out a grunt before looking at Sunset and Starlight and said, “Girls, can either of you call out to him?” “We can’t,” replied Sunset worriedly, “His anger and rage are too strong. He won’t even respond.” “No matter who gets hurt, it’s bad for Oliver,” said Terra while glaring at the battle scene, “Either way, I have to do something. I’m going to help his real father.” Terra started walking to the edge of the hill but was stopped by the two ponies. “You can’t!” Starlight said shockingly and worriedly, “It will mess up what’s to come next!” Terra smiled at the two and said, “Trust me.” Chrysalis and the Lingering Will Pony clashed their weapons and flew back again before sliding to each other again and clashing their weapons four more times. Chrysalis was about to hit him with her sword, but the Lingering Will Pony jumped back a bit to dodge it before clashing her sword with his Keyblade. The two clashed together while struggling to push one another back again. Chrysalis glared at the Lingering Will Pony before grinning evilly as her horn began to glow in her grasp and magically grabbed him by the neck making him unable to breath. Chrysalis let out an evil chuckle before making the grasp even tighter around the Lingering Will Pony’s neck. “Be gone!” Suddenly, a beam of light appeared underneath them. Chrysalis looked down, and as the light became brighter, the tight on the grasp started to swallow down a bit. Just then, Terra flew out of the light and kicked Chrysalis very hard making her let go of the armoured pony and flew backwards. Chrysalis landed on her hooves before glaring at Terra as he landed on his feet safely. “How can you be here?” Asked the evil Changeling. “Hey, I can travel to other worlds too, you know,” answered Terra with a grin on his face, “Did you think Sora was the only one who can do that? Or did Xehanort forget to tell you about his friends?” Chrysalis continued to glare at him. “You dare...!” Chrysalis charged towards Terra and tried to hit him with her sword, but Terra jumped high enough to dodge it. The two clashed their weapons together four times before Chrysalis managed to hit his Keyblade really hard which sending him flying backwards to the left. Terra slid on his feet while landing safely on the ground. But he didn’t stay there long as Chrysalis grinned evilly at him with her horn glowing in her grasp again. Before Terra know it, Chrysalis’s grasp grabbed a hold of him and made him float in mid air. Terra struggled to break free while Chrysalis walked towards him. Chrysalis began to make a big dark green beam of darkness blast from her horn and towards Terra. But before the blast could hit him, the Lingering Will Pony jumped in front of him and blast hit him instead sending him flying really high in the air as the grasp let go of Terra and he landed on his feet once more. Terra shockingly looked behind him and saw the Lingering Will Pony falling down to the ground really far away and made a big dust crash to that far away spot the armoured pony was now at. “No. No...” Terra looked at Chrysalis once as she grinned evilly at him again while her sword magically disappeared. “Seeing that you have also entered Equestria, you must be ready to see the real darkness within you.” Terra growled angrily at the evil Changeling and stood in battle mode while holding his Keyblade still. He then charged towards Chrysalis and smacked her ten times with his Keyblade. “Enjoy!” Terra gave her a big smack with his Keyblade causing her to fly backwards a bit. “Fire!” Terra shot three fire balls from the end of his Keyblade, two of the fire balls managed to hit Chrysalis but she managed to dodge the last one by flying high in mid air. Chrysalis growled angrily at Terra before shooting a beam of dark green grasp at him which he blocked it with his Keyblade making him slide backwards a bit. Terra jumped in a mid air and flew towards Chrysalis before she summoned her sword again and clashed it with Terra’s Keyblade and they struggled to push each other away with their weapons. The two clashed the Keyblade and sword together thirteen times before Chrysalis punched Terra in the face making him fall down to the ground and slide on the ground on his feet. Terra jumped really high to where he was at Chrysalis and smacked her ten times with his Keyblade. “You want some?!” He then gave the evil Changeling another big smack with his Keyblade as she flew backwards a bit before glaring angrily at Terra whole growling. “Be gone!” Chrysalis shot another dark green grasp beam from her horn and armed at Terra, but he quickly dodge rolled to avoid the beam. “Thunder!” Terra pointed his Keyblade up in the air and made five thunder bolts strike down from the sky and hit Chrysalis making fall down to the ground with a thump. Terra carefully landed back on the ground on his feet and glared at Chrysalis as she painful and slowly rose from the ground while breathing heavily. Chrysalis glared angrily at Terra while continuing to breath heavily before saying, “I hope you suffer in darkness!” The evil Changeling quickly teleported away with her magic, probably back to the castle where she can help the others lock the heroes away. Terra glared at the spot Chrysalis was at and let out a grunt before hearing Xemnas’s voice from behind. “The Changeling queen speaks the truth about you, Terra.” Terra turned round and stared at Xemnas while the dark corridor disappeared behind him. “You must be ready to see the real darkness within you. The same goes for Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer.” Xemnas reached his right hand out and flicked his fingers making a spark quickly appearing and disappearing from his fingers. Terra let out another grunt before covering his face with his arms as a bright light appeared covering the view.
