The God of Anger

Darkness Reveals (Checked)

"Professor Fossil, are you sure you want to check in person? The Princess made a point of preventing any citizen from getting anywhere even close to the fall zone." The Royal guard asked the teacher as they walked. The old gray mare looked at him with humor as they walked down the trail.

"Oh my dear, thank you for the concern. I may be old; however, no mountain or cave shall stand between me and discovery!" The Guard had a light laugh with the archeologist's excitement, she had a lot of energy for her age. Still, he would not let her go around without protection, being chosen personally by the Princess to investigate the mysterious and sudden asteroid's fall site is reason enough.

The subject became the central theme of all the newspapers in Equestria, as it almost hit Canterlot by an inch. The princesses did nothing to at least calm or alert the people. Still, fortunately for the citizens it fell far away, now this expedition had formed to check the crash site for studies.

A noise of something falling on the ground alerted them, both stopping and looking back to know what was going on.

They could see a human lying on the floor with a handful of climbing items, desperately trying to get up and pick up the objects on the ground he had let slip through his primitive fingers.

The Royal Guard looked with bored eyes at the mare behind them.

"Night Glider, stop slacking and make sure the monkeys don't buck our things!" The dark blue mare flinched with the Guard's sudden outburst. Still, soon after composing herself, she nodded; using the whip in her belt, she struck the back of the human, who screamed in pain with each hit on his scarred back.

"Move you damn no fur's! We don't have all day you piles of trash!" The group of slaves quickened their pace, stumbling over each other in fear that they would be the next to receive a severe hit from their masters.

The Royal Guard rolled his eyes as he returned to the Professor's side, whom he had noticed signs of discomfort, putting his hand on her shoulder in concern.

"Ma'am? You alright?" She looked at the Guard and slowly at the slaves getting whipped, and she would tremble a little, placing her hand on her head and quickening her steps.

"N-nothing, l-let's j-just keep g-going..." The Guard looked at her confused, surprised by the reaction of sudden discomfort. However, shrugging that aside, he continued marching along with the group towards the forest and the vast cloud of black smoke that was forming.


"I'm telling you, Tia, I didn't know!"

Celestia looked at her angrily while staying seated on her majestic golden throne, surrounded by guards and with the most elegant decorations for her royal clothing. Her sister was a different story.

Luna's clothes were a mess and her hair was even messier. It was clear she woke up in a hurry. She would have been in a bad mood if she wasn't surprised of the sudden anger that her normally calm sister was displaying, especially after being called to the throne room in such a rush.

"Tia, you know as well as I do! The spell I use for the stars is just an illusion spell! Ponies might think it's my fault, but I did absolutely nothing! Natural disasters are not my work!" Celestia sighed while leaning back on her throne and placed a hand on her face.

"I know Luna... But how could you not see it before? You always notify me when a meteor shower might occur or when you create one!" Luna hugged herself as she looked away in embarrassment.

"I-i r-really don't know... I just noticed the meteorite forming when it was already entering the atmosphere... It's like it formed on top of us and immediately felt... I don't know how.... " Celestia thoughtfully placed her thumb and index finger on her chin before looking back at her sister.

"Do you think it could have been... By outside influence?" The moon goddess would look shocked at her sister.

"You can't be serious, Tia...."

Celestia rolled her eyes at her sister's lack of suspicion.

"Of course, I am serious! We have to think of all the possibilities! Some of our enemies could have done this to harm our subjects!"

Luna's eyes just opened more and more with each sentence Celestia said, completely shocked.

"Celestia! You can't be serious! Are you listening to yourself?? You can't start pointing hooves at the others! Buck, it may be even a normal comet that we just missed it!"

The sun monarch would shake her head from side to side in a negative way.

"Luna liste-"

"NO! YOU LISTEN!" Luna cut Celestia with a sudden outburst of rage. Making her be taken back by her sister's sudden rage and use of the canterlot voice.

"You've been paranoid like that since the subjugation of humans! You are always ignoring your advisers! Always suspicious of others! Buck Tia! You arrested a reporter for simply criticizing you for the lack of action! You are acting a tyrant! Don't you see it??" Celestia was shocked by the anger her sister was showing, and by the things she had said, changing from shock to anger, clenching her fist, she would hit the arm of the chair hard.

"STOP THIS NOW, LUNA! I WON'T TOLERATE THAT TONE WITH ME! You know very well that most of the things I do are for the good of my people! And not from my image!" Luna gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Celestia couldn't see it. Still, behind the adoration of the citizens, but Luna knew very well the truth.

She was afraid.

Afraid to disappoint them, afraid to make them feel her fury.

Since the day's they defeated the humans or the 'no Fur's', and the subsequent catastrophes that followed with the return of Nightmare Moon and Discord. Celestia has been more and more on edge, fear and tension emanated from her, fear of how she was seen by her people, even if she didn't show it.

Fear of them being hurt. Yes, she cared deeply for them.

Still, more and more she acted in entirely unacceptable ways for them, she already knew that when instead of purifying humans as she did with Changelings, she had just enslaved them!

She had already talked to her sister about it, but she had always dismissed it, justifying it as 'for their own sake' or 'They are too unpredictable'! But....

There was nothing she could do...

Sighing and looking with disappointment at her sister, she slowly walked out of the throne room.

She stopped before she left.

Something had awakened, something very dark, darkness invaded the throne room like a wave invaded a beach.

Luna slowly looked at her sister, who looked shocked.

"You sensed it too..?"


"Impossible...."

The teacher looked in shock at the fall zone, the fall trail. The broken trees and massive trail took her to a metal object, but that was not what scared her the most.

It was how symmetrical they were, how they were perfectly aligned...

It was not a meteor. It was something alien.

And it terrified her.

Any other researcher in her place would love to discover something alien, to get credit for a discovery that could change the world. Still, for Fossil, this was not what she was afraid of, she was worried about why something like that was there.

Why did it fall here? How did it fall here? Was it on purpose? What did it carry? And if her worse fears where to come true.... What and or who was inside of it?

That and many other questions that could not be answered anytime soon, and that's if they could be answered.

"What is impossible?"

She still looked shocked at the royal Guard and his unimpressed expression.

"T-this is n-not f-from our world...." She said while slowly kneeling and picking up a piece of the wreckage formed by the fall, the metal object was still partially broken, but its symmetrical shape could even be seen in the metal wreck; it was very resistant, whatever it was.

The Royal Guard looked at the wreckage and the returned teacher and said shrugging.

"Well! It came from space after all...." She had not taken her eyes off the piece of metal, which had... Reddish and blue lines, ignoring the sound of the Guard receiving a light slap on the head by her colleague, letting out a low "hey!"

THUMP

Every single one around the metal object flinched at the noise that suddenly appeared from the rubble, the teacher slowly stood up.

THUMP

Now she could see, a part of the wreckage with a tiny black folding hatch formed a circle, it had a dent, from the inside.

THUMP, THUMP

Another and another dent appeared. Like something terrifyingly strong was trying to get out.

Everyone around, slave and Pony, slowly moved away with each beat, while the teacher continued to look, horrified. Somepon- no, something was inside of it.

Celestia... What could they do...?

And finally, after a long time of tension that seemed to stretch on for hours, a final 'THUMP' was made, with a piece of the debris thrown away.

All of them lowered themselves on instinct when the piece flew by their heads. But thankfully no one was hit.

It sunk deep into a tree, almost tearing it in half with the power. They could only look at the part of metal for an instant before noises started coming from the wreckage again.

All of them looked on in shock when a giant plume of smoke came out of where once there was a metal plate protecting it. And out of it, one enormous shadow appeared from the smoke.

The guards all had their weapons drawn, not knowing what to expect out of the wreckage. Then, breathing, one of the most terrifying things the Professor would ever hear in her life. Something that would haunt her for the rest of her days until the day of her passing.
