//------------------------------// // The creature in the fight of a Minotaur, a fake alicorn, and a cheese horse. // Story: The creature that saved equestria. // by Beyond_Gold //------------------------------// So it begins. A war between the ponies and the legion of doom. A letter from Princess Celestia appears infront of Twilight. Twilight grabs the letter in her magic and opens it. She skims through the letter before running out of her castle to get the girls. Meanwhile at Canterlot. “Hahahaha! You won’t be able to stop us princess! Now that we have discord’s and your sisters magic you can’t beat us!” Tirek says with pride. “Yeah! You won’t be able to! No one can!” Cozy Glow says. “And your magic is next princess. And once we claim your magic we’ll rule equestria. And once we get rid of your magic we’ll be going after your pupil.” Chrysalis says. “I wouldn’t be so sure of that.” Rainbow dash says proudly as the main doors swing open. “Your terror ends here and now Tirek.” Twilight says while stepping forwards. “Well well well. If it isn’t the Princess of friendship. And if I do recall correctly I still owe you some revenge.” Tirek says. “I do as well. For ruining my plan with the canterlot wedding.” Chrysalis says. “Well then why don’t you three try us?” Applejack says. “Well then. If you put it like that then we’ll just teach you a lesson to put your arrogance in the ground.” Cozy glow says. Before they start to fight Tirek grabs Celestia and drains her magic and throws her to the side and she slams against the wall with a painful yelp coming from her. “Princess!” Twilight shouts. “Don’t worry about me Twilight. Just… just defeat Tirek. I know you can. I’m just going to lie here and recuperate.” Celestia says as she closes her eyes and her breathing slows down. As the main six and the legion of doom fight each other another creature watches over them from Tartarus. “This is pathetic. I get sent here by some ponies and I don’t get brought back? This is disgraceful.” Riftstalker says. As the battle rages on the main six start to lose the fight and Tirek drains all but twilight’s magic. “Princess! What do I do?” Twilight asks frantically. “Use… use the spell that I taught you… summon her.” Celestia says before passing out. As Tirek grabs Twilight she starts to cast a spell and she fires it at the wall before Tirek manages to drain her magic. As the spell lands on the wall. A line in the form of a crack forms but nothing happens. “HAHAHAHA! Is that a pathetic excuse of an attack?! You ponies think you’re so great! It’s hilarious.” Tirek says in a humored tone. “No. What’s funny is that you three think you’ll be the ones to take over Equestria.” A voice says as it echos throughout the room. “Who is that! Reveal yourself!” Chrysalis says. “What’s the matter? I thought you all were supposedly going to drain all magic. You want mine? Then find me. But… you won’t have to do that after all.” The voice says. “Why don’t you stop hiding and come out and fight us?!” Cozy Glow shouts “I’m already here. You just cannot see me. Why not take a look at the wall where the Princess of friendship shot a spell.” The voice says as the three villains turn to look where Twilight shot her spell. “There’s a line on the wall so what?” Chrysalis says Two hands reach out of the line and grab it and the hands start to rip the line open and as it slowly rips open a figure appears on the other side. “A portal? So what?” Tirek says. “Riftstalker. Please. We’ll let you out of Tartarus if you help us defeat these three.” Twilight pleads. “Fine. I’ll get my revenge later then.” Riftstalker says as she steps through the portal and the portal closes. Riftstalker yawns and turns towards the three villains. “Now then. Prepare to face the wrath of Lord Riftstalker. Even though I’ve been locked in Tartarus for years I’ve improved quite significantly. Let’s see how well you can keep up on the empress of the universe.” Riftstalker says as she begins to power up. As Riftstalker begins to glow the villains look surprised and confused at what’s happening. With a bright flash of light Riftstalker has transformed. “What is this?!” Tirek asks Riftstalker while looking nervous. “This may sound cheap. But just call me. Golden Riftstalker.” Rift stalker says as her body turns to a shining gold color. “Tch. No matter. We’ll win either way.” Cozy glow says. “Hahahaha. Try it.” Riftstalker says while pointing at them. “Eat this!” Cozy Glow shouts at she fires a large attack at Riftstalker. The attack hits Riftstalker and a large cloud of dust forms. The main six and Celestia look shocked and scared of what happened but their fear fades when they see the dust clear out Riftstalker stands there and wipes dust off of her shoulder. “Hmm. A fake alicorn? What did it take for you to get here? Someone took your sweet roll? Parents not love you enough?” Riftstalker says with a laugh. Cozy Glow starts to tear up. “N-no! You’re wrong!” She says as she starts to cry. “Oh boohoo! What about all these other ponies? What you took from them? I guess I’ll just have to take it from you.” Riftstalker says as she starts approaching the villains. “Why wait to earn your vengeance? Join us instead. You’ll be sure to get your revenge.” Tirek says with his hand out. “Sorry but I’m going to have to decline this offer. As much as I hate the equines that Princess did give me a better deal and released me from that hell. So as much as I want that revenge it will have to wait. But as of now. You three are my main priority of killing.” Riftstalker says as she slaps Tireks hand away. Riftstalker shoots a blast of energy from her hand which sends Chrysalis flying into the wall and Riftstalker stands over her and points at her and forms a small ball of energy in her finger. “Give me a reason on why I shouldn’t waste my breath killing you? After all. You’re the last of your old race you… Vermin.” Riftstalker says. “I’ll change I swear! I’ll leave right now and I’ll come back reformed!” Chrysalis says in a panicked tone. “Hmmm. I don’t give chances to equines such as yourself. Let’s see if your friends can provide more of a fight.” Riftstalker says as she fires a beam through Chrysalis’s leg and she begins to stumble away her. The main six and the two other villains look mortified. “You! You let her escape?!” Cozy Glow says. “Of course I did. What you all did is unforgivable. And your next you manipulative pony. You think friendship can be rushed? Clearly you would never find out since you manipulated so many ponies. You impatient loser.” Riftstalker says. “I-I… it’s not my fault.” Cozy glow says. “I’ll do these ponies a favor by not executing a filly. Go on. Leave. Leave now before I change my mind.” Riftstalker says as cozy glow flies off. “Now as for you. I don’t think we can fight here. Follow me and I’ll show you where we can go.” Riftstalker says as she begins to lead Tirek to a field near Canterlot. As they walk towards the field Riftstalker sees ponies lying on the ground and roads not being able to move from how exhausted they look. And the color. It’s missing? Riftstalker and Tirek finally reach the field and they stand an opposite distance away from each other. “So. This will be the last battle. One of us will die. Bring it Tirek.” Riftstalker says. “Well then. If you want to die so bad then I’ll just kill you then.” Tirek says with a chuckle. As a battle ensues between Riftstalker and Tirek the main six managed to make their way to the battlefield and they watch in awe as Riftstalker goes against what she wants to take out Tirek. “Ngh. I won’t let you defeat me!” Tirek shouts as blood drips from his mouth. Riftstalker thinks to herself as she fights. “I can’t keep this up for much longer I need to take him out or else. I could never forgive myself.” “What’s the matter Empress? Can’t keep up?” Tirek shouts with a laugh. Riftstalker gets hit and flies back and lands on the ground and stands back up. “Accept your limitations and ease gracefully into death!” Tirek yells as he shoots an attack at Riftstalker. “Now you listen to me Girls!” Riftstalker yells. The main six look towards her. “I know you girls don’t have any magic but I’ll give you some of my energy! Buy me some time! And when you see me go in for the last blow get away from here as quick as you can!” Riftstalker shouts. The girls do as she says as Riftstalker flies into the air. They start to attack Tirek and distract him as a few minutes go by they see a giant yellow orb flying down towards them. “Girls run!” Twilight says as she uses a flash spell to blind Tirek as her and the girls run away. The yellow orb gets closer and closer and Tirek sees it and forms a shield to stop it but the shield starts to crack and Riftstalker breaks through the shield and collides with Tirek and the attack completely obliterates Tirek and cracks the earth below them and makes a giant dust storm. “Girls? Are you all okay?” Twilight asks and they all nod. And they walk back to the destroyed field as the dust clears away they see Riftstalker but no sign of Tirek. “Riftstalker! You did it!” Twilight says as she runs over to Riftstalker. “You know Twilight. That’s not even my real name. My real name is moon. Hehe. I only made my title as Empress Riftstalker cause it sounded better. But… did I win?” Moon says weakly. “Yes. You did.” Twilight says. “Good. I’m just gonna take a nap. Wake me up when I’m not in equestria anymore.” Moon says as she passes out and turns to dust and blows away in the wind. “Goodbye Moon.” Twilight says.
