Barks Of Water, Thunder, and Fire! Raise Your Shields High And Prepare To Shed Crimson!


01:37:29


(When Deltorix visits Jackson’s Dream)


Earlier back with Deltorix’s group. “I can’t believe he could just fall asleep so easily.” Silver said.

“He is using dream magic to make it possible.” Luna answered.

“Well I guess we should take the first watch.” Crimson said standing up and grabbed the Shield brothers and dragged them outside the tree. 

“I should follow them, I am not allowed to heal anyone with my water bending so I should defend.” Lilly said and struggled to carry the large gourd Deltorix had given her.

Luna looked down at her sister. “Why must you let your hate control you?” She asked, but Celestia was not conscious to answer.

Outside the four guards stand watch around the tree. “I honestly hope no one shows up, a lot of the fighters look terrifyingly strong and I definitely don't want to fight any version of the Princesses.” Bronze Shield said.

Raikou, Entei and Suicune walked together through the trees, each sniffing the ground and air as they followed a funny scent. "Are you sure it's this way Entei?" Suicune asked. 

"Do not underestimate my senses sister." Entei said, slowly following the smell still. 

"We are not underestimating them brother. We are just cautious." Riakou said. 

“Whoa! It's those colorful beings from Dillan’s team.” Silver Shield said when he spotted them.

The three dogs growled as they spotted the guards, each one getting an aura around them representing their elements of fire, water and electricity. "More armored ponies!?" 

Crimson frowns and steps forward. “We are day and night guards, who are you?” 

“Sis, are you sure you should be antagonizing them?” Lilly asked her sister.

"We are the guardians of Equestria. We protect our home from the forever knights." Riakou said, stepping forward. "Forgive my sister, the knights and only armored ponies she knows polluted her lake and nearly killed us all." 

“That's horrible.” Lilly said, covering her mouth.

“Sounds like your world is full of evil.” Crimson said while she watches all of them.

"It was until father returned and stopped them." Suicune said. "Shall we test our skills brothers?" 

"Heck yes." Entei said with a Grin. 

“Uh oh, looks like we are going to fight.” Bronze said.

“Heck yeah we are.” Silver said grinning.

“What makes you think you can beat four well trained guards?” Crimson asked as she extended her wings and flames came to life on the tips of her wings.

"You'll see." Riakou said before the three each charged a fire, ice, and electric attack and fired them at the guards.

Silver Shield lifts front hooves and stone rises up to block the attacks, Crimson jumps over the rock and fires some fireballs at Riakou. Bronze Shield jumps into the air and flaps his wings to send air cuts at Entei. While Lilly uses her water bending to attack Suicune with some ice spikes.

"Benders huh?" Entei said, lifting his own front paws and slamming them onto the ground causing an earthquake as Suicune and Riakou combined a hydro pump and thunder attack to enhance the power of the attack and collided with the attacks of the ponies destroying the rock wall. 

“We need to keep them clear of the tree.” Silver said while making rocks fly at Rialou.

“Of course but what else can we do? It's like they are a perfect match for us!” Crimson said while throwing fireballs at Entei.

“Maybe we could run and they will follow?” Lilly suggested while she created a wall of ice to protect herself from Suicune’s next attack.

"Oh no you don't!" Entei said as he and Riakou got on each side of the ponies, creating a triangle around the ponies as Entei created a mini sun above them all. 

“Hun?!” Crimson’s flames got bigger and she had to let them go out before she lost control. “How did you do that!?” She yelled.

"It's a move called sunny day." Riakou said, as Entei began absorbing light while Suicune summoned a ball of energy and created a rain cloud over Raikou only as he shot a bolt of electricity at them very quickly before Entei fired a ball of green light at them while Suicune then fired a white beam of ice. 

Crimson narrowed her eyes, each of the guards jumped and rolled out of the way of the attacks. “It seems like they have three powers, fire, water, and electricity, focus on one of them at a time!” She starts to spin her wings in circles as electricity starts to form on the tips of her wings. “I haven’t mastered this but I have no choice.” She fired it at Suicune.

Suicune smirked as a green shield formed around her blocking the attack as Riakou summoned multiple rocks out of the ground and struck Silver with them before Entei created copies of himself and kept them from moving even more. 

“Gah!” Silver called out as they backed up together. 

“What the buck, how are they this strong?!” Bronze said.

“I don’t know but I won’t let them beat me that easily!” Crimson took to the sly and started punching all four hooves sending fireballs raining down on them.

All three of the legendary dogs created the same green Shield around them as the fireballs stuck them and did nothing. "We are legendary Pokemon, far stronger than any normal being." Entei said, as the three each cloned themselves three times. 

“This is nuts!” Silver said before the three ponies looked at each other and nodded. Bronze made strong gusts of wind to push the pokemon back, Silver lifted a large rock into the air and sent it at the pokemon, while Lilly made ice spikes fly at the pokemon, all while Crimson kept raining fireballs down.

The three dogs smirked as Suicune shot forward incredibly fast and slammed into Bronze sending him flying towards the ends as Riakou shocked Lilly and Entei shot a spiral of flames at the remaining knights. 

The guards were knocked away from the tree and closer to the edge of the ring. “Damn, how strong are these things?” Crimson asked.

“They are nuts!” Silver said but Entei thought he said ‘mutts’. 

"How dare you call us mutts!" Entei roared, as a red aura formed around him and he fired a blast of flames right at them, Raikou  and Suicune adding in their own elements to form a tri attack causing a massive explosion. 

The guards yell in pain as they are blown all the way to the edge of the ring, Silver almost falling off. “Whoa whoa whoa!” He flaps his wings and gets back on his hooves. “Geez, I almost fell.”

“Ugh, that red one must have a hearing problem, I didn’t hear anyone say mutts.” Crimson said, patting out a fire on her fur.

The three dogs slowly approached them, each dog nodding to each other as Suicune shot a powerful gust of wind at them, while Riakou slammed the ground causing a frizure, in the ground, while Entei used the power of his mini sun to boost his power of a fire spin at them. 

Crimson flapped her wings and used fire bending to turn Entei’s attack back at him. Bronze also got into the air but made a wind tunnel pulling the pokemon closer to the edge. Silver used earth bending to keep the ground around them stable. Lastly, Lilly used the last of her water to swing around behind the pokemon and hit them as hard as she could, knocking them off their feet. 

Raikou and Entei quickly glance at each other before they both use the last of their powers to push Suicune back more before turning and tackling two guards each off the edge. "Raikou, Entei!!" Suicune yelled 

“Lilly!” Crimson called.

“Silver!” Bronze called out as well. Both ponies turned to face Suicune and mix fireballs and wind to hit her.

Suicune created a barrier again, before summoning a large wall of water and sending it at them. "This is for my brother's!" 

“And this is for our brothers in arms!” Crimson said, moving out of the way of the water, trying to lightning bend again, while Bronze flies around Suicune and tries to ram into her.

Suicune jumped over them as they noticed a small blue ring on her horn before a beam of energy at them knocking Crimson over the edge out of surprise. 

“Nooo-” Crimson was yelling before being teleported to the stands.

“Oh crud, Crimson’s out, I am on my own.” Silver said before he flaps his wings hard making a strong wind, then sends a small tornado at Suicune, which he followed by running after it and try to ram her off the ring. 

Suicune made a blue barrier as she floated into the air, with a blue symbol appearing on her chest. "In fearful day in raging night with strong hearts full our souls ignite, when all seems lost in the war of light look to the stars for hope burns bright!" She said before blasting a beam of light at bronze. 

“Uh crud..” Bronze said before he was knocked off, the last thing he was able to do was throw a grable onto Suicune in an attempt to pull her down with him.

Suicune quickly flew out of the way, watching Bronze fall. “Buck you!” He yelled before being teleported.

"Sorry, I'm not into ponies." Suicune said with a smirk. 





“Hah…hah…” Berserker’s Celestia panted heavily while she looked down at her knuckles, now covered in Armament Haki. “I…I did it.”

“Let’s see how that Observation is holding up,” Lord Twigo said jovially, right behind Berserker’s Celestia. “DODGE!” Lord Twigo slammed his fist down towards the back of Berserker’s Celestia head. She quickly stepped to her right and let the Knight’s incoming fist hit nothing but air.

“Holy…so that’s what it feels like: didn’t need to think about it, just do.” Celestia commented in amazement.

“Well, all of you have done well. But a certain someone has ascended above you all,” Lord Twigo looked over to Berserker.

Celestia pouted jealousy. “His Night Sentinels surpassed your expectation, while we Equestrians just met it.” The Night Sentinels in question managed to cover their fists in Armament Haki.

“All of you have done well, you are all equal.” Lord Twigo then turns to the Night Sentinels with a plate of cake. “Do you guys want some?”

Krimzon used his Observation Haki on the cake. “…The cake is a lie.” There was no cake in Lord Twigo’s possession, it was a mirage of one he conjured up.

“Really? A Portal reference? Well, at least it’s a classic.” Berserker shrugged with a smile.

“Damn, you figured it out.” Lord Twigo crushed the cake and it hit the ground only to dissolve into light. “Anyway, you know the basics now, all you need is a suitable training partner. Let me go get them.” Lord Twigo formed a triangle shape with his hands, “Yata no Kagami.” Lord Twigo turned into pure light and began to bounce off of rock and debris.

And not even two seconds later a 6’ blocky man showed up with white eyes, a scarf around his neck that hid his nose. “Alright, who the-” He looked up to see the 9 '10 Lord Twigo standing over him. “That explains a lot.” Herobrine said, “Can you bring me back to where I was? I kinda had a mining area and I was building armor and setting up enchantments.” 

“After you make your vessels to fight these people,” Lord Twigo smiled, pointing to Berserker’s group, Herobrine looked between the two and sighed.

“Alright, fine, here. Vessels, come and kick these fools off the arena!” Portals appeared behind him and out came various Minecraft skins with white eyes, there were ten in total. Perfect. “Can I go back now?”

“Of course! Have fun, Night Sentinels, oh, and uh… You too.” Lord Twigo said, looking at the Equestrians with a disappointed gaze, he then flew off with Herobrine.

“Why did he look at us three like that?” Twilight questioned nervously. “And what are these things?”

“Everyone, stay back and watch.” Berserker ordered and approached one of Herobrine’s vessels… Only to be tugged aside by a vessel with robot arms and spiked gauntlets. The vessel grabbed Berserker’s shoulder and slammed him into a rock before starting his assault.

“The fun thing about Herobrine’s vessels is that they’re random and durable, perfect practice!” Lord Twigo said, sitting on a boulder and watching the battle taking place.

Berserker grunted from the surprise attack, but still spoke up through it all. “On second thought, don’t stand and watch! Go fucking ballistics on these worthless cunts!” He shouted before pushing himself off the rock and fell backwards on the vessel. His opponent wrapped his arms and legs around the Marine, locked and began to crush him. “Idiot.” Grabbing at his legs first, Berserker pulled on them until they popped from their sockets and with the help of Armament Haki made it go quickly.

As for the rest of his team, they kept themselves busy with the other vessels. Lord Twigo wasn’t kidding when he said they fight in random patterns and thus everyone was using Observation Haki in an effort to defend against their attacks.

“Well, Herobrine doesn’t fuck around.” Berserker snorted when his legless opponent began punching him in the head again. “Fine, I’ll let you up.”

The legless vessel began to jump and do acrobatics with his hands, the vessel pushed himself to meet Berserker’s gaze. Berserker expected a punch, instead he was met with something unexpected. The vessel grabbed Berserker’s torso and used its weight and momentum to make Berserker do a front flip and fall onto his back. The vessel was on top of Berserker and it’s robotic elbows sprouted rockets, the vessel began to hammer down upon Berserker, using rockets to boost the attack speed.

Berserker was stunned by this while getting rocket-pounded into the ground, only to give an evil laugh at the ridiculous randomness of these vessels. “…Thank you.” Berserker said before grabbing a hold of the vessel’s rocket-punching arms and with a kick to the chest, separated the arms from the torso. Once in the air, Berserker threw the rocket arms straight at him and exploded on impact, which kept the robot vessel in the air a little longer. When he saw it falling down, Berserker gave one final punch that erased his head from existence.

Vessel 2121 was ripped apart by Berserker.

Looking back at his team, he saw them getting the hang of things.

One vessel was throwing a volley of eggs at Twilight, some became chicks but other than that he was throwing an onslaught of eggs. Twilight was covered in egg yolk at the end of it and the vessel begins to place TNT blocks around her as she tries to get the yolk off her face. Then, the vessel pulls out a bow and arrow and Berserker could swear he saw a grin on its face. The vessel proceeded to 360 no scope the TNT blocks and caused an explosion.

Walking over to the crater, Berserker looked down into it and saw the silhouette of…wait a minute. “Are you sure you got Twilight?” He questioned the vessel.

The vessel began to crouch rapidly as he placed a sign next to Berserker. “Nah bro, I bet she gon’ be right behind me.” It read, the vessel began to crouch and uncrouch rapidly in front of said sign.

“Okay, then you admit you blew up nothing.” Berserker pointed out once the smoke cleared and showed there was no sign of a body.

“I’m right here, Berserker.” Twilight finally spoke up from behind him.

“Whoa! Jesus!” Berserker jumped at hearing her voice.

Before she could get another word out she was pelted with eggs, like he didn’t do anything else, just pelted her with eggs, Lord Twigo was holding his mouth and laughing.

“Lord Twigo, it’s impolite to laugh at a lady getting egged on.” Twilight spoke up right next to the Knight.

“B-but the eg-” Lord Twigo then burst into laughter. “Mans was pelted with eggs, oh but I knew you would get out of there. After all, it’s just eggs, what can it do?” Lord Twigo asked before blinking at the surrounding chicks. “There are a lot of baby chicks here…”

The vessel placed blocks under it and climbed up to Twilight, this time, an enchanted sword in hand. With knockback III, the vessel slammed the flat side of the blade into Twilight. It quickly threw an ender pearl where he knocked her back and made a slime block wall for her to bounce back on.

“Aw, what a kind gentleman.” Twilight petted the vessel’s head. “But you still missed me.”

“Oh, now I see. She’s using Observation Haki to distort one's self-awareness and perception.” Berserker finally got what was going on, why she was appearing where she wasn’t supposed to be.

The vessel stares at Twilight before a chat box appeared above its forehead, “Aight, fuck this, I quit.”

Vessel 1482 has left the server.

Lord Twigo was currently dying of laughter, “GYAHAHA!” Lord Twigo punched the ground as he continued his guffaw.

“Damn, Twi. That’s impressive.” Berserker complimented with a grin when she came down and nuzzled his helmet. “Wait, this is the real you?! Oh Gods, you made that bastard quit without realizing it’s the real you!” He just laughed hysterically. “Great job, Twilight!”

As that was happening, a vessel was absolutely bullying Celestia. The vessel had a chat box above it. “Why did the chicken cross the road?”

“To get to KFC?” Celestia panted out before getting bonked on the head with a stick.

“No, to get to the little bitches house. Knock knock,” The vessel chatted.

“Who’s there?”

“The chicken,” The vessel was then crouching and uncrouching repeatedly, “I haven’t seen that joke since I first met Oliver. You know who Oliver is, right?”

“Who?”

“Oliver mother last night get played.” The vessel chatted, “But for real though, Oliver was my best friend, we spent five great years together. Unfortunately he died of ligma.”

Celestia didn’t respond and her face turned dark under her helmet. “…Mother jokes, huh? Any more dead jokes you want to spout out at your own expense?”

Despite her not falling for it, he replied. “Ligma balls.” The vessel said as it prepared to fight, holding a fishing rod and a stone axe with sharpness three. The vessel threw the fishing rod and hooked Celestia’s shoulder and tugged her close where the vessel jumped high and slammed his axe down for the crit.

Celestia stopped the axe from coming down and crushed it into powder. “You’ll be licking the devil’s balls soon enough.” With a clenched fist, she rammed it straight through the vessel’s chest. Her Armament Haki covered knuckles burning red hot which made the action all the more easier. “When you get to Hell, tell him to go fuck himself on a shit-covered spike.” She said before throwing the body away and unhooking the fishing rod from herself.

Vessel 69420 was fisted to death by Celestia [Berserker]

“Jesus Christ!” Lord Twigo called out, “You fucking killed him, dude!”

“Well, no shit. You don’t make jokes like that to someone who lost their parents. I should know: I watched them sacrifice themselves and I couldn’t do anything about it.” Berserker sighed with a shake of his head, before he and Twilight went up to Celestia to comfort her.

“…I miss them, Bryan.” She whispered to him.

“…Yeah, same here Tia.” He replied softly.

“I… Miss my friends too there wasn’t always just us Commanders, there was a guy named… Jasper. A wonderful guy, he was strong, proud, caring, and basically taught me everything I needed to know about Haki. Only my rank and up know of him, those below have no clue, quite sad really.” Lord Twigo said solemnly.

“Let’s…let’s get back to the Tournament at hand.” Berserker’s Celestia took a shaky breath before asking, “How’s Luna doing?”

“Well… Looks like they’re fighting Vessel 1056.” Lord Twigo said, “And he’s putting up a fight.”

The vessel was clashing blades with Luna, he had an iron sword in hand with fire aspect and sharpness three, he also had a block in hand. The vessel spun around, appearing to go for a swipe with his blade only to reveal the block in hand. An obsidian block, the vessel slammed the obsidian block into Luna’s rib cage before jumping back to gain distance. The vessel then builded a wall between them and brought out a firework crossbow.

“Gah!” Luna staggered from the unexpected attack. While she was thankful for her armor’s protection, she cursed under her breath before glaring at the vessel. “A wall of Obsidian stands between me and my victim. How do I deal with that?” She questioned while dodging the firework crossbow’s attacks.

The vessel towers over the wall, using obsidian blocks, he had a loaded crossbow in one hand and a fishing rod in the other. The vessel raced towards Luna and threw the fishing rod at her, grabbing her shoulder, the vessel pulled her close. As Luna braced herself for impact, she opened her eyes in shock as the vessel flipped over her, thus removing the rod from her shoulder, he was upside down with the crossbow pointed at Luna’s back. Time slowed down and he fired, sending Luna through the obsidian wall. The vessel proceeds to eat a Notch Apple and equip a shield and axe, preparing for more.

Groaning, Luna collected herself and got back up. “Ugh, I really hate these things.” Turning to face the vessel, she took a few deep breaths to calm her nerves. No need to lose your cool and give way to reckless actions. The vessel charged towards Luna, switching his axe for wood blocks, he towered over Luna and placed water on the ground beneath Luna. Making Luna slow, he switches his bucket for an axe and slams it down onto Luna.

When the axe hit her, it did no damage because Luna used Armament Haki to cover the part where the vessel made to strike at her. Once the vessel touched ground, Luna used the water to trap him, froze it solid and sliced it up. “Phew! It actually worked. Using Observation and Armament Haki, I was able to predict where my opponent would strike me and protect that area. It was like picturing it in my mind.” She commented as the ice block fell apart and shattered.

But that fight was just one of many, it wasn’t over yet!
