//------------------------------// // Chapter 15: Battle for Clouds-dale (Part 2) // Story: Great Power // by Harkbilde //------------------------------// (Previously on the last chapter) But Rainbow was not afraid, filled with determination, and hope towards her hero, she shouted out loud with a smile. "CHARGE!!!!" (Present) (Street near the Park at Cloudsdale) A figure could be seen floating towards the direction, this figure was wearing an overall silver armor that had a blue cape/scarf on the neck and within the outer plate was a chain armor. This was Magnus, wearing the armor of "Artorias the Abyss walker" without the greatsword. 'Thank you, Jiffy Smith, I look kick ass thanks to you...' Thought Magnus while chuckling at the memory of the armor making pony's reaction. [FLASHBACK] "Please draw more some schematics for me!" A Burly earth pony with a stuffy beard begged while grabbing on Magnus' foot. "Alright! Alright! I'll draw you more... just finish the armor before the battle!" Magnus spoke while trying to get out of the muscular pony's hands. [END OF FLASHBACK] Magnus chuckled more at the memory again and spoke, "Man... Ponies are so fun to hang out with......" He then donned a cold look and looked towards the park. "You on the other hand... Not so much..." He spoke in an even colder tone looking at the middle of the park. In the middle of the park were nests made out of bones and sticks, and also a big throne made out of the same materials. Sitting on the throne was the Harpy queen, looking at Magnus with a sinister smile. Magnus kept his menacing look through his helm. "Not that a bird brain like you would understand what I'm talking about..." He said in a condescending tone. ... ......... .................. ........................... They kept on looking at their opponent until there was a sound. BOOM! A sound of the sound barrier being breached could be heard with a rainbow circle from far away. BOOOOM!!!!!! Then with another louder sonic boom, they both charged at each other; Magnus with his Lightning crackling around him and the blades and the Harpy Queen flying to him with her sharp claws. (Different part of Cloudsdale) Sounds of swords hitting claws, claws hitting armor, blades cutting flesh, and magic sizzling feathers could be heard. WHOOSH! A rainbow blur went pass-through a harpy and decapitated it. BZZT!-BANG! A white bolt of magic hit a harpy and exploded, taking 4 others. BAM! SHINK! ZAP A blue hoof bucked a harpy, then a Black spear went through another one and the last one was electrocuted to ash. BZZZZT!!! A volley of pink and purple magic bolts was charged and sent to the approaching Harpies. The Princesses and the ponies were fighting the army of harpies, the Princesses could handle a couple of harpies by themselves but the problem lied on the other ponies, an average trained pony can barely handle one S-class beast and win with difficulty and winded with 3, Rainbow Dash and Applejack were an exception with there abnormal strength and speed. This made the battle hard for the Canterlot army, even with the massively decreased numbers of Harpies thanks to Magnus. But even with all this, the ponies fighting did not have despair or hopelessness in their eyes, in fact, some of them were outright smiling. The reason for this was because they could see the hope, they could see that it is not impossible to win against these horrifying monsters, that they can win against such monstrosities, and that gave them courage. Luna then struck a harpy with the spear and spoke to Celestia, "Sister! We can do this! It is possible!" Celestia then crushed a harpy with her shield. "Indeed sister, if this goes on, we can definitely do this!" Twilight then finished her volley at the harpies and spoke, "We can! But there is still the boss! Magnus did say he can handle it alone but... Can he really handle the S-class Boss?" "Yes, he can!" Rainbow said while cutting the wings off of 2 harpies, making them fall. "He will." She said in a determined voice. (Back to Magnus) CLANG! Claw scratch armor BAM! Fist meets hide BAM! CLANG! BAM! CLANG! BAM! CLANG! BAM! CLANG! BAM! CLANG! BAM! CLANG! BAM! CLANG! BAM! Two blurs, one covered in feathers and the other covered in armor and lightning were receiving and dishing out attacks at each other at speeds that no normal pony nor human could perceive. 'Damn! This thing is a lot faster than I thought!' He thought while blocking a claw and countering it with a punch, only for it to dodge it. 'This thing is faster than Mach 4! Possibly Mach 5 or 6!' He thought while trying to dodge a claw to his head. CLANK! But it hits his helmet off and cuts his cheeks with it. 'Okay, that's it...' He thought with a piercing gaze. He then commanded his blades and sent them towards it at high speed to keep it busy and Teleported about 100 feet away. "I really didn't want to use this, I already used a lot of Psi and it's tiring." He sighed while saying this and activated Parallel Mind. He closed his eyes and kept his one mind on the swords while using the other to start concentrating his Psi around him only. The Harpy Queen, whilst dodging the blades, suddenly had a shiver down its spine and the beckoning danger signal its instincts were sending. It then looked at Magnus concentrating on something, the boss' instinct then urged, begged, to stop him from whatever it was gonna do. The boss then let out a very loud shriek for all Cloudsdale to hear. SHREEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!! Which let out a shock wave and deflected all the blades and then shot towards Magnus at a speed of whopping Mach 10. Magnus knew it was coming at him but kept his eyes closed and as it was about to sink its claws in his head, he just smirked at that moment and shouted. Za Warudo! Toki yo tomare!!! Then suddenly, the queen's claws stopped right in front of his eyes as the world turned grey. Magnus then sighed while his nose started bleeding. 'Good grief, that was close... I got only 3 seconds to move...' He then looked at the frozen Harpy. 'but that's all I need...... I dedicate this to you Jotaro Kujo......' He thought while getting his fists to his sides. 1 second He hardened his fists and enhanced his arms to the maximum and spoke one word while blood started coming out of his nose. ORA! And lashed out a punch that could destroy an apartment but he didn't let up and kept on punching with the same strength. 2 second ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! He then stopped and reinforced/hardened his right arm to the maximum which tore his armor on his right arm to pieces. 'And this to you All Might!' He thought while shot his last attack towards its head and shouting out loud. DETROIT SMASH!!!!! 3 second He then turned around and spoke with all his orifices and right arm bleeding.
