//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Meeting the Sun and Moon(Not Pokemon) // Story: Great Power // by Harkbilde //------------------------------// (Previously on the last chapter) The young man noticed it was still raining, he then spoke to himself, "Well, since the fire is extinguished, there's no need for the rain." He then stopped the rain and cleared the sky with a wave of his hand and then looked at the Mane 6 still looking at him and he wondered why. He then noticed that he still hasn't introduced himself. "Oh! Sorry, I forgot to tell you my name. Sorry for keeping you waiting for ladies..." He then bowed and started introducing himself, "Hello, it's nice to meet everypony, my name is...-" He then stopped for a moment or two and then continued, "My name is Magnus Might." (Present) "Yeah... Magnus Might, your resident Psi-user at your service." He then looked back up at the mares and found out that all of them had confused expressions on their faces, 'It seems there are no Psi-users in this world, well... Other than me of course.' Then Twilight asked the question that the rest of the Mane 6 had, "What's a Psi-user?" Magnus was expecting this question, and answered in a prepared manner, " A Psi-user is a unique individual who has the ability to use the unique energy produced from everything called Psi." He then paused for a moment and continued, "And Psi-users basically manipulate Psi to control elements, move things without touching them, teleport, enhance, heal, and sense things around them." Rainbow Dash then excitedly asked him, "So, you have superpowers?" He then chuckled and replied, "Yes, you can call them superpowers." As Magnus was about to answer more questions, his face suddenly donned a worried expression. The girls noticed this and were also worried, so Applejack asked, "You alright there partner?" He then looked back at her and replied, "Yeah I'm fine, it's just... You guys remember what I told you about sensing things?" They nodded, "Well...... I'm currently sensing something or someponies that are coming towards this place in, what should I say..... Formation? You guys call an army or something?" Twilight then suddenly slapped her forehead, while avoiding her horn. "I forgot that I contacted Princess Celestia for reinforcements....." She said while berating herself for forgetting such a thing. Magnus hearing this acted like he didn't know anything and spoke in a confused tone. "Whose Princess Celestia?" The girls then whipped their heads toward him with an 'are you serious' face. Seeing this, he mentally patted himself at the back and continued with his act, "What?" Rainbow Dash then exclaimed at him as if he was crazy, "Dude! You seriously don't know who Princess Celestia is?" He then replied, "Is that a problem?" She was about to answer but was beaten to it by Twilight, "Princess Celestia is one of the diarchies of Equestria with Princess Luna, I'm surprised you don't know this... If I may ask, where have you come from?" He then remembered everything, all those losses, pain, and tears. "I'm from far away and I would not like to talk about it yet........" He said in a tone full of pain and regret. He really couldn't help it, he couldn't help to have a sad expression when talking about where he came from. Seeing his expression, Twilight immediately tried to apologize, "I'm sorry if I-" "It's okay" He cut her off, looked toward where the reinforcements were coming, and continued, "Let's continue this later, it seems the cavalry has arrived......" As he finished, they all looked towards where he looked and saw squads of armed pegasus ponies holding a carriage with armed unicorns and earth ponies in them. Amongst the armed ponies were 2 very noticeable ponies. The first pony exuded an aura that screamed "Royalty", with white-furred mare and a 6ft 4in curvy figure with D-cup breasts, donned with white Royal armor highlighted in gold with a symbol of a sun on her chest plate. She had a long sword sheathed on her waist and a shield with the same theme as her armor on her left arm. She didn't wear a helmet but a tiara, which showed her black and lilac eyes and a flowing mane that had the colors of sky-blue, mint, light purple, and pink. She also had both a horn and a pair of wings like Twilight. This was Princess Celestia, "The Diarch of Equestria", "Ruler of the Day", and the "Princess of the Sun". Beside her was another pony who was undoubtedly royalty, with a midnight blue fur, she had 6ft 2in curvy figure sith C-cup breasts, she was also donned in black armor with pastel blue highlights. She had a long spear that was also Midnight black and the steep pastel blue that was equipped on her back. Like Celestia, she did not have a helmet, which showed her black and pastel green eyes and a flowing mane that was the color of the night sky with many stars in it. She also had a horn and a pair of wings like Twilight. This was Princess Luna, "The Diarch of Equestria", "Ruler of the Night" and the "Princess of the Moon." Seeing them both, Magnus couldn't help but watch them in awe, with their ethereal, dignified air around them and beautiful appearances, he couldn't help but be enraptured by there beauty. When he saw them about to land, so he shook his head and prepared for his introduction to the rulers of Equestria. Celestia then landed in front of the group as they bowed and asked with a confused expression, "Princess Twilight, I have come to your aid after reading your urgent message of a B-Class Gate breaking. But I don't see any monsters... Did you already deal with them?" Twilight then answered, "Yes Princess Celestia, it was dealt with, but not by us, the stallion over here dealt with most of the monsters and the boss while protecting us from them." Twilight then pointed towards Magnus behind the group, hearing what she said, Celestia couldn't help but have a bit of doubt in her testimony. Seeing this as a chance to introduce himself, he approached the Princesses and came in front of them and kneeled in front of her and introduced himself. "Greetings your highness, my name is Magnus Might, a wandering traveler that was luckily enough was nearby." Princess Celestia then looked at him a bit surprised and replied. "Please rise, sir Magnus, if by what my pupil had said, then you have nothing else to do but accept my sincerest gratitude..." Hearing this Magnus stood up and looked at the Princess at eye level, "Thank you, your highness, and it was nothing, anypony would have done the same thing if they were at my position-" Before he could continue, Luna interrupted, "Sister! You can't actually be believing him, do you? It is already suspicious that he is strong enough to even stop one of the beasts let alone a horde of them including the boss!" Seeing this, Magnus felt a bit insulted and Princess of Sun noticed it too. "Luna, it is rude-" What she was going to say was cut off from Luna continuing. "And he did it while protecting other ponies?"She finished while huffing. Magnus was starting to get a bit pissed 'Okay, that's-!' Luna cut off again, "And by how obvious he's lying, I highly doubt that he even could protect anyone." And said something she shouldn't Instantly, Magnus' then eyes widened at the last sentence, accompanied by th flooding of memories that he would rather forget.

While Celestia was now reprimanding Luna, "Luna! It is very rude to say such things!" But Luna didn't back down, "But sister! Don't you find it a little doubtful that a stallion by himself just took on most of the monsters from a B-class gate alone? You know that only an experienced Alicorn can do that! And He's no alicorn!" Celestia seemed to agree with her, but still found her rude, "But Luna it is still very rude to just say this to hi-" Suddenly a small yet cold voice reverberated around the acre, "I am not weak..." The ponies, including Celestia and Luna, had a cold shiver run down their spines and looked at where the voice came from with surprise. Because the voice that contained respect and friendliness a few moments ago just up and disappeared and what was left in its place was something cold, emotionless, something that shouldn't be angered. The sudden silence and attention were not noticed by Magnus. "I am not weak, TAKE IT BACK......" He said while looking up towards Luna and what she and the rest of the ponies saw made them confused. Sure there was the rage in his eyes as they expected, but what they didn't, was that they were mostly contained anguish, sorrow, and regret. Luna saw this, but still replied, "And why must I, creature?" Luna haughtily replied back, seemingly half annoyed, half amused by Magnus' change of attitude. "Because if you don't, I'll make you eat those words..." He replied back. The blatant disrespect now made Luna a bit angry and made her taunt him, "And pray tell... How will be doing it?" He then chuckled coldly and replied, "Oh... you'll know..." He then spun around but stopped. "Oh... Before I start, Princess Luna... Do you consider yourself strong?" He questioned the Lunar Princess. Luna scoffed and then answered, "Of course! I am an alicorn after all!" Hearing that he chuckled. "Good, because Princess Luna......" He paused and spun around with eyes burning with anger while pointing his finger at her and shouted in an earth-shattering voice. "I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!!!"
