//------------------------------// // Part 2: The Battle // Story: A Nutcracker Tale // by StoryTeller101 //------------------------------// A strong breeze from outside causes the main window (wich was the one upstairs) to open. This breeze starts circulating the entire library colecting every bit of dust it can. Once enough dust has been colected, this breeze starts forming a mini tornado on the main floor. A bright whit orb suddenly appears in the middle of this tornado and starts to take form. Once it takes it's form, the tornado and dust disapear. "Finally, after all this time. Now any second now..." BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG "Come out your Majesty, and behold your newest home" as he said this, The Mice Queen, who was at least four feet tall and was wearing a royal gown of yellow, blue and white, enters through the closet with at least a dozen two foot little white mice following her. The Mice Queen then lets her mice discover their new surroundings, as well as she, and then turns back to him who is bowing down as The Queen speaks "Thou have done well as for finding The King a new home" she then bows a little as a symbol of thanks "I relieve you of your dutties" she then turns and starts to look at some of the books from her new library. The creature then notices what he was looking for upstairs and starts to head towards her. As she reaches her, he takes his paw, and with an evil grin, starts to rub her face "And you, my little Twilght, shall be doomed" With sleepy eyes, Twilight wakes up and looks at the creature "Huh... what?" realizing who the creature was, she shots her eyes open and covers herself with the blankets "Discord?!?!?!?" ''Shall be doooooomed" as he said this, Discor turns back into an orb an exits the library through the still opened window. Twilight the closes the window and goes back to sleep, thinking it was only a dream. Back downstairs, The Queen was admiring the cover of a book she just found "I wonder what this book is about... A Thousand Leages under the Sea, sounds interesting-" *sniff* *sniff* "Wait" and with this, every mice stopped what they were doing and observed her sniffing *sniff* *sniff* *sniffffff* The mice were curious about what she was siffing, and so they started to sniff also. *sniff* *sniff* *sniff* *sniff* *sniff* *sniff* "Could it be?" *sniff* *sniff* "Yes... it is" as she said this, all of the little mice started to huddle up in a group and shiver in fear. The Queen then dropped her book and turned towards the aid of her little ones. "Hush my little ones, hush... rats, ATTACK!!!!!!!!! As she said this, about thirty rats came out of the closet and ran straight towards Twilight and started to attack her. "Oh my, by Celestia's Mane... what is happening?!?!?!?! Spike, get over here!!!!!!!!!!" Right then, the little dragon opened the door and while he was yawing said "What's going on Twi- by Celestia's Mane, what is going on?!?!?!" "Spike!!!!!!!!" Twilight then used her teleportation spell to head over to were Spike was. spike then suddenly appeared in Twilight's back and she then started to gallop around the room while she was shooting magic out of her horn to defend themselves. "Twilight, what is going on?" "I don't know Spi- Spike, quick grab your shield" Spike then grabbed his fake but strong shield (wich was one of the gifts Santa Hoofs brought him) and started to defend themselves with it, letting Twilight concentrate in attacking. Tired becouse of all the running, Twilight stopped and made a force field arond themselves, but becouse she was so tired, and becouse the rats were attacking the forcefield, the forcefield was breaking. "Try to hold it Twi" "I-I can't, I just... can't" "Twilight, I-" As if by a miracle, an army of unicorns came out of the closet and started to look up to were Twilight's bed was. When Twilight and Spike looked up, they saw a purple unicorn stallion with his complete uniform whose cutie-mark was the same as Twilight's and had an injured hoof on wich he held his sword. That unicorn ordered the rest to attack the rats. He then jumped from the second floor to the first and started to attack himself. "Twilight, cover him!!!!!" as he said this, Twilight put another forcefield around the unicorn to protect him, and with this new help, Twilight continued to attack. Not even fifteen minutes had passed when half of the rats were already dead. Suddenly, The King Mouse,standing taller than anyone else, challenged the unicorn to a duel. Accepting his challenge, every rat still alive made space for the big fight and Twilight was forced to drop her shield around him. ... It was a very intense battle indeed, and a very bloody one. The unicorn was losing, with various wounds all over his body, it looked like that would be the end. Taking the opportunitie that nobody was watching her, Twilight knocked over a pile of books to create a distraction. When The King Mouse heard th loud noise, he looked away from his foe, and this one took the opportunitie to dive his sword deep into his heart, killing him with a single strike. Crying, The Queen ordered the rats to pick up The King and to clean every corpse that was lying in the room. She then said to her little ones that daddy was only just sleeping for a very long time so that they wouldnt cry that much, and then ordered for them to return home. "It was a very brave battle indeed, I congratulate thou on your victory" and with this, The Queen left through the closet. After The Queen left, the unicorn ordered his army to leave also. Then, Twilight then hurried over to the unicorn and cured most of his wounds with her magic. "Thanks" "No problem, by the way... who are you?"
