The Elements of Equestria
A/N: welcome back to chapter 26, today we see how the Appeloosians are fighting against Gamble and his folk, as well as his mighty ghost´s, this Chapter has some referrences to Shaman King and to The Legend of Zelda, Occarina of Time.
Chapter 26: First Contact, Clash of the Titans, the Five Guardian Spirits, Silent whispers, the door to the Past.
Appleoosa, market place Jacky´s pov:
“What do you want here Gamble?” I asked the Stallion infront of us.
“I want them!” he answered as he pointed at Mana and Straight Arrow.
“I don´t know you guys, so you can go, I only want them and the Buffalo´s!” He explained.
“But what if we don´t give them to you?” I asked him.
“Well then I simply gonna kill you!” Gamble stated.
“Who are you anyways, you who claims to kill these Shamans and the Buffalos?” I asked again.
“I am the Stallion who becomes the new Shaman King, I will help my people, my clan to a new glory, no, no even more, I'm going to run to the top of of glory and I'm going to reign this world as their shaman king, ahahhahahahahahahaahaaahhaha!” Gamble laughed his ass of, his eyes shone with pure insanity.
“Aha, so that's it, you're one of those sick assholes, who think they can rule the whole world!” I said and suddenly he almost chocked on his creepy laugh, all the others beside my Siblings gasped, even the Ghost´s mouth falled agape, Goba even rolled itself from laughing.
“You see me , my siblings , the Princes and the Princesses, the Kings and Queens of other lands, the Gouverners, the Ministres, the Presidents, the Earls, we have in this world a fucking Battalion of Royals to keep this world from falling appart, to rule this world, and you think you are able to do that all by yourself, you, a fucking little Bimbo, who just came out of the scaredy pants-age, how old are you man, and what are you dreaming of at night?” I asked him with some serious doubt of his nonexistent sanity.
“Wait what the, fuck you man I will rule this world anyway, I will….!”
“I asked you something!” I said loudly.
“I , I , I am not gonna tell you something….!”
“DIDN´T I SIAD; I ASKED YOU SOMETHING!” I said in my Canterlot accent.
“uhmm, I´m 30, sir!” He said so tiny with hat, before he suddenly recovered.
“Eh wait, why the heck do I even covering from you, you are not worth to even talk with you, beware of my major power, Goba stop laughing and get the girls!” He shouted and I was ready to attack.
“Come here my Little ponies!” Goba laughed.
“Leave them alone, and say hello to my Little Friend!” I shouted as I summoned my Bass Phoenix.
“How is that, no way!” Gamble shouted.
“You better get some serious sense in your tiny world, the world around you has changed long ago, Summoning Speels are no longer a Shaman´s thing, even Twilight can create an animal spirit, even Rainbow dash can create a wind animal, and hello, she ´s a pegasus if you don´t see, why don’t you take your Clan and beat it, or I gonna beat you, got it!” I told him as I let my Phoenix showing his strenght, logically not fully, I just want to use the Surprise moment, if he fights seriously, I will get some problems.
“Master, we need to hurry, our spectralem navitas( Spectral energy) begins to run out!”, Dysalia said.
“Fuck, oh wait you, I will get you for this, for today you have been saved but beware Ponies, I will come back for sure!” Gamble said as he run out of town, the five Ghost followed him.
“We did it, we managed to get him out!” Fluttershy and a few other danced a bit.
“But not for long, you have heard him, he will come back!” Floraya said.
“The only reason of why he vanished was because he began to run out of Spectral Energy!” she explained.
“Now what is that for a thing?” Breaburn asked.
“Spectral Energy is the force which a ghost takes from its master to manifest itself in this world, to attack and to become, for short time, physical, that’s also why Gangyro is the only one which is able to attack in the day and in the night, because it is an living insect, possesed by an demon, the others however are Ghosts , without the needed force of their master, or an own body, they can´t manifest themselves in our world and they can´t attack us at all, regardless of what they do!” Little Strongheart explained earning an affacted nuzzleing from Breaburn.
“But what happens when a Shaman runs out of this energy!” Fluttershy asked.
“He dies, a shaman without Spectral energy is also a shaman without lifeforce, because the lifeforce is a combination of spectral and spiritual energy, amateurs will now saying that both energies are one and the same, but:
Spectral energy is the energy of your soul, a force which is there but you can´t see it , after your death this force vanishes into nothingness after some time.
The Spritual force however is the force of your ghost, the one thing which gives your corpse the force to rise and to walk and anything, the spectral is more to give this corpse a soul, a brain and feelings, the Spiritual force can stay or vanish after the death.
When a person dies, a little amount of their spectral energy stays with the spiritual energy, the rest is going restless to nothingness, that’s why we still see how the person looked , even when they are ghosts.
Depending on the Decision of the Astralcourt, Heaven, Hell , or Earth, these three locations are normaly the only ones to go, by some very bad ghosts, it´s even possible that they are getting erased into the same nothingness, much like Derpy did with King Sombra´s dark Spiritual force!” Jacky said, and we looked at her.
“But why can we still remember of him!” Twillight asked the one question we had asked us for a long time now.
“My Words Twillight, I thought you have erased his existence!” Rainbow Dash asked Derpy.
“I guess that the King Sombra I had defeated wasn´t really King Sombra, but kind of a Shadowhologram, a shadow wich took the form of king Sombra, that’s also why his attacks hadn´t really any efect, it should just help me to use the force of the Spear of Purity truly!” Derpy said.
“So that means his evil ghost is still hidding somewhere in the Arctic North!” Rarity said.
“Maybe, or he waits in Tartarus!” Derpy said
“But if he would be a ghost it would be very easy to get him, to bind him on something, and then the ones in his company or sorrounding are dommed, if one of the Witchtwins get him, his ghost!”Jacky said
“That´s also the reason why its able for Miasmaria and Miastaria to create Zombies, the earlier the death or the stronger the ghost , they are not able to get fully controlled much like you see by Gambles ghost, a Ghost which hoever gets forced back into a corpse without a soul nor any spectral energy, is only a morderous marionette, with only one goal, to get a soul back no matter which one, for that reason they began to attack the things in which they feel souls, means every living being!” Floraya said and most of us actually understood her.
“But what has that now to do with Gamble?” Twillight asked.
“Well if we let Gamble die, the Ghosts will be free, so they do the one thing they can, they either try to eat the souls of the Clan Peoples, so they get their spectral force, or they return to their corpse and become zombies , in order to eat the souls on this way, either way we cannot let that happen, we only can kill him when we manage to seal the ghost back into hell or in the nothingness, then we are able to freely kill him!” I said.
“Alright , but then again I really ask from where he has these Ghost, didn’t you said that it were hundreds of years ago as they lived?” Rarity asked and me and Derpy nodded.
“I still remember them, we even needed to chain Kogara and Dysalia totally before holding the court, or else they would have attacked us for our souls, we banished all of them into the deepest of the Hell!” Derpy said.
“Ya mean in Tartarus!” Applejack asked suspicious, and we needed to really tear ourselves on the belt to not laugh out loud.
“No, no, of course not, I will explain to you what Tartarus is, against all the histories in Books, is Tartarus no more than kind of the Waiting room for the dead ghosts, we have the Gate, to the Astralworld, the Styga, and Tartarus, the Waiting room, which is a Giant prism building holded by twelve giantic Chains, over an gorge, which appears to be in an hollowed volcano, than its going to the Heartpiece, of the Prism-shaped building, the Astralcourt, and from there it gives the three directions and the black hole to Nothingness, and around Tartarus lies Tarakena, so again for better understanding, Gate, Styga, Tarakena, Tartarus, any other Questions?” I asked but they all remained still.
“Wow, there is so much wrong in the History Books!” Twillight said.
“Well I honestly can´t blame the Authors, to Tartarus one does normaly, except of the Three of us, Derpy, Tenebra and me, just go there when one is dead!” I said.
“Anyway we drifting off, well I honestly can just say that the only explanation I have, of why and how Gamble is able to use these Demons and evil Ghost, is because he must be in some kind of relation to Miasmaria and Miastaria, they are the only one from wich I would say, who were able to summon such evil ghost out of the deepest of hell, and if they have something to bind the ghost on this earth, they must have managed to find their dead corpsed, either way I can´t imagine, nor explain how they would have managed to doing that in any other way!” Floraya said.
“Miasmaria, and Miastaria, I have heard of them and I think my mother once said that they were the Grandmothers of Gamble, that they have raised him as their own son and gave him the ability of a Shaman, after he had been created in the womb of an mare, and already got possesed with an evil ghost, by his birth !” Mana said as she thought about it.
“I BEG YOU PARDON?” We all yelled.
“Wait so that means, that this sick bastard is an artifical pony as well, created as an artificial, dark magical infant possesed by an evil ghost?” Rarity asked before she fainted.
“Pretty much that!” I siad.
“They have already created some mighty shit in the past but this one tops it all!” Flora said , and one could see of how angry she is.
“Hello, Hello, is there someone!” Suddenly a new voice sounded we turned to see a little stallion standing infront of us.
“Who are you and what have you to do here!” I asked with an icy voice, I could here his Thoughts clearly.
´So he was already here, I said I would be too late´
“My name is Great Chariot, I am the father of Gamble!” He said and we all went in defense mode.
“Wait, wait, I ´m not here to attack, I am here to warn you!” He said, I looked in his heart, his soul, no glimpse of dark magic thought but I can´t be sure for now.
“What have you to tell us?” I asked him.
“I can give you informations about him, and I can tell you on how to destroy him!”
“What is that for a father which wants to destroy his own son, regardless of from which Clan or side he is!” Fluttershy said angry.
“Dear Lady, I know what you mean, and I can understand you but should this kid don’t even exist, it is a monstrosity, created by dark magic and an evil ghost, created out of our Guardian spirit, and demons, feeding on the soul energy of my clan to hold his own self as well as the ghost he uses at live!” The man said.
“Come inside, we have much to talk about!” I siad while the others stared at me.
“Are you sure about this Jacky!” Twillight asked.
“I am!” I siad as I walked together with the stallion behind me inside.
“So tell us, what do you know, and don´t you dare to lie!” I asked while the others holded weapons at him if he tries something funny.
“First off, we need someone who cares about him here!” He said as he took an little dirty, white baby Wolf out from under his coat.
“Oh my the poor little thing!” Fluttershy yelled as she rushed over to it, she took it in its arms and walked in the back of the room together with Floraya.
“Who is that?” I asked the stallion.
“This is our Guardian spirit, or better said that what is left of him, it happened 30 years ago, I was the Chief of our Clan, the East Eagles, as suddenly the Witchtwins arrived, I recognized them out of our history books, they were our ancestors, my Clan was once a Clan of dark magicians and shamans evil and erciless, but this times were long gone, I knew they came to do something evil, they told us to give them our Guardian Spirit, but we refused, then they have dropped their masks and attacked the village, they all pulled, expect of me, in their spell, so my wife, they wanted to sacrifice the guardian spirit and created from him a creature of the dark arts, I could prevent this Ritual to be completed just yet, and save the guardian spirit, but has he since that time lost his power and he is getting weaker by the day, I tried to find someone who could help the poor thing, but they have already wiped out all of the neighboring clans, and their guardian spirits were sacrificed to complete the art, I tried to figure out more about the ritual and snuck back into my clan, I brought in experience, what they wanted to do with it, they wanted to create a being, so created that it would be able to reside some powerful people permanently, to give their master enough time to escape from his prison, the essence they create from my wife, and my unborn son, as they created a baby out of dark magic, a dark version of a true fetus, pumped up with evil souls miasma and what do I know, they have managed to perform the birth of this creature as quickly as possible, so the entire prozedure just took two days for the birth, then they let this child getting possesed by their dark spirit, which they have created of the guardian spirits!” the man said, and I felt with him.
“Your wife?” I asked.
“Died by the Birth!” He said with bitterness in his heart, and in his voice.
“I don´t know who you are, and why you are here but I saw how you talked with Gamble , so you have to be quite powerfull, I beg you, destroy him, and save my Clan from the Witchtwins, I will give you everthing you want, but please I beg you help me!” The Chief falled on his knee and I stood up.
“Alright we help you, but you have to help us too!” I said.
“Everything you want!” The Stallion said.
“Gamble has five mighty ghost in his possesion, I want to know from you from where he has them?” I asked him but I heard already my answer.
“I´m sorry, I cant help you by that, I got almost caught after the ritual, as I yelled my anger as my wife did her last breath, she looked up to me and she smiled, before the light in her eyes vanished, the Witchtwins and their dark creature hunted me until I was too far away, since that time I wandered through the desert on the way for finding someone, I tried to reach the Town at the edge of the desert over the Sandmountain Gorge, but did I have to see that it has been hidded behind a giant Tornado, so I walked back through the desert, while living from time to time in the Rocks of the Canyon in the Windcatcher Mountains, not far from here, then a few days ago I saw the whole attack at the Clan tribe, I honestly never knew that there had been a Clan because I never was so far away from my Clan, or else I would have warned them, anyway from the mountains I saw a Little town and I knew I have to be there before Gamble, but again I was too late, the ghosts already attacked the Town, the train which ride away had no chance against the insect like thing, and I saw how Gamble walked up to the town, and then I heard him today talking in here and how you made him down and saved time for the town until he beated it, I knew if someone could help me it were you!” Chief Great Chariot said.
“I thank you mister, so it is how I though?” I muttered.
“I beg you Pardon?” Great Chariot asked.
“Well the People from which the Twins spoke are we,its seem that they are putting obstacles in our way, to stop us to arrive at the prison of her master in time!” I siad.
“In time for what” The chief asked me suspicious.
“To reinforce the Prison of Course, if their Master manages to get himself free, the whole universe is doomed!” I told him and he gasped.
“Wait is their master that strong?”he asked.
“Chief, this Master is the reason of why Miasmaria and Miastaria even lived so long, they are far over 4.000 years old, our own Misstress created us to prevent their Master from taking over and destroying this world, we are the Eternal Guardians and together with our Mistress the creators of this Universe and the World of Equuis as well as Old Equestria!”
“Oh well….!” The chief wanted to speak further, when it came suddenly topsy turvy.
“Chief Great Chariot, it´s an honor to meet you again!” A Voice said from above as suddenly the roof of the house vanished.
“What the hay!” Applejack screamed, as suddenly a giant Goba stood over the house, he grabbed inside and took the Chief out of our grasp while we fired our magic at him, but it had no effect, the attacks simply went through him.
“Shit, save the chief, everyone else fire at Miasmaria!” I screamed as we did indeed this, she floated on a broom stick like a real Witch.
“This here is for you Shockwave!” She yelled as she threw a black fireball at me.
“Jacky watch out!” Venturios shoved me out of the way, getting hit by the Fireball instead.
“Venturios!” I yelled, outraged.
“YOU FUCKING BITCH; WHAT DID YOU TO MY BROTHER” I screamed out of full lungs, I summoned my Bass phoenix.
“Fiery bass waves!” I yelled and my Phoenix, shooted waves of fire at her, she doged the waves and wanted to start a new attack.
“Jacky Watch out!” It came from behind, I shooted with my phoenix to the side as Floraya jumped in her Darkforce form, the Giant black Gorrila, in the air , punching Miasmaria with a giant fist to the Moon.
“ARRRRRRGHHH!” She yelled as the giant fist collided with her, I looked down and saw how Fluttershy already treated the unconsious Venturios.
“Jacky help the Chief!” Floraya yelled, as she went for Goba which got pulled away by the connection with Miasmaria.
“Chief Grab my hand!” I yelled and he did , I pulled strong and the same moment, Floraya attacked Goba, and Punched him with full force in his face, it actually really had an effect, Goba stumbled away and opened his hands to get Floraya off him, as she punched him multiple times in the face.
“Derpy Catch!” I yelled as Goba managed to throw Floraya away, she took one big slice from him in.
“Jacky it´s your turn, finish him off!” Floraya yelled as she packed my arma and threw me in Gobas direction.
“Alright here I come, Limit Breaker!” I yelled as I opened the seal and let Darkforce flow, I transformed in my Halfdragonform and greated a giant claw, out of my hand.
“MOUNTAIN-SLICER!” I yelled as I sliced right through him.
“RRARARAAAAAAAAAAAAW!” He yelled as he vanished, he wasn’t finished but I took his last energy, sending him back to where he came from.
I pushed me off the rock on which I flew and jumped back into the village
“Floraya everything alright!” I yelled as I runned up to her, her wound had closed again and she transformed back while she showed me a thumb up.
“What´s with Venturios!” She asked and together we runned back into the Building.
“Venturios!” We yelled.
“Over here guys im fine, I just have burned my right side a bit!”, he said getting supported by Rainbow Dash, he smiled at her and rubbed his nose affectionated at her, making her blushing.
“What´s with the chief!” I asked.
“He is over here, he is injured but I guess he comes throught!” Fluttershy said as she put an wet towel at the Chiefs head, which looked thankfull up to her, the little Wolf, looked up from under her coat which she weared and nuzzled in her embrace.
“He seems to like you, he is the White Wolf Gingorias!” the Chief said to Fluttershy.
“Oh , hi Gingorias!” Fluttershy.
“Kyupo!” The Wolf said.
“I think that means, nice to meet you!” Little Strongheart said.
“Oh you are such a cute little thing, yes you are!” Fluttershy coeed to the little wolf, which laughed happily.
“Yes I guess he loves you!” the Chief said.
“Every animal loves her, beside of the Canterlot animals!” Twillight snickered.
“yep I guess so!” I siad.
“Anyways now we know what they really want, they want the Guardian Spirit, they must have followed its energy track and that’s why they attacked Mana´s Clan, they thought that Gingorias was by them!” I said.
“Good thing that mom gave me our Guardianspirit too, the giant Barn Owl Aquila!” Mana Said, as she took of her coat revealing a tatoo, better said a Stigma.
“And we have our Guardianspirit too!” the Old Lady Flying Eagle said, and nodded over to Little Strongheart, which shoved her own Stigma.
“You never told me about!” Breaburn asked.
“Because I never knew that I someday need to use him to fight,the great Golden Eagle Hebraska is a rather peacefull Guardian Spirit!”
“What about you Floraya!” I asked as she nodded.
She lifted her poncho, revealing a Stigma at her back.
“The Silver Fox Shiron!” She said, wait.
“Aquila, Gingorias, Shiron and Hebraska, I know i´ve heard these names earllier somewhere, ………, wait werent that the names of the Earth Spirits of Aradia in the World of Pandora, the mightiest of all the ES´s, together with their bearers they form the Conra-kuneika, the Guardians of Justice?” Venturios asked, and I nodded.
“Hebraska, the Eagle of Sound and Peace, Aquila, the Owl of Wind and Wisdom, Shiron, The Fox of Nature and Care, and Gingorias, the Wolf of Metal and Leadership, four of the Twelve Animals in the Aradian Zodiac , and the Twelve Guardian of the Different Shaman-Clans, the Guardian spirits of the nine different folks!” I said.
“But this is impossible , They can´t have Thelaya, she vanished with Compass Rose Navi´s grandfather, he was the last Clan Chief, I know him from the meetings of the Clan Chiefs!” Chief Great Chariot said.
“No that is actually not the case, due to his age, Stormrider Navi, gave the Guardian Spirit to me, I should look out for somepony which had the ability, and the courage to take her, I chosed after a few hard tests Rainbow Beam, he had the best qualities to become the new Chief, he knew the feeling of losing everything and he did everything to save his comrades and mens from this feelings, he cared about Rose in my abscences and they became an Item with time!” Venturios said.
“Aha so I see, well when they also have Thelaya that can only means he is either already dead or in a critical state, we should find him quickly!” Great Chariot said.
“He shouldn´t dare to die until I have fiddled him my opinion!” Rainbow Dash said and all eyes were on her.
“Truth be told, you just wanted to still read him the Levites properly!” Venturios chuckled.
“Eh please what!” Twillight asked.
“My Brother, He should dress more warm, because if I'm finished with him the last thing to be left will be a heap of him!”
“Ah yeah, well I want to see you doing that!” A Voice said and suddenly it was dead silent in the saloon, we all turned to see a Stallion as blue as Rainbow Dash staying in the door, his mane and tail had the same Colour as Rainbow Dash but was he almost completely covered by an brown coat, he was too in his anthromorphic form but was this because of the Storming Fields, which lies in a so called Dimensional Spot, he had a Horn on his head protected by an Golden armor around it, he was a bit taller than her.
“You, you heartless bastard, how could you, you never called, never send a letter, never gave us any kind of a fucking lifesign of you , you ungrateful asshole!” Rainbow Dash half cried, half yelled at the stallion while slaying her hoofs in his face and on his chest before she slowly run out of power, from crying, she let herself falling in his hug.
“Hey man , how have you been!” Venturios walked over.
“i´m fine I managed to save them all by sacrificing me , I walked with them if they promise to leave them alone, for safety I told them to go to Rose in the Hurricane Canyon, and I created a strong huricaneWall at the entrance and the exit, I then went with them and the moment they wanted to take me I unfolded the true power of Thelaya and teleported myself miles away from them. Then I began to wander up on here, I saw the attack of one of those Witches with that giant thing, and I saw you,, so I knew I was save there, and well now I am here, that happened amost a week ago!” The Stallion said while Rainbow dash layed her head on his lap, while lying with the rest of her corpse on Venturios as we sat each other again on the couch.
“So who are you now, darling!” Rarity asked.
“Well I am Rainbow Beam, Rainbow Dash´s brother, I thought she had already told you from me?” He asked while looking at Rainbow Dash which gave him one of her extreme merciless stares.
“Well since a week ago I didn´t even knew you were still alive, let alone where you were!” She growled and he shook his head.
“If it were after me, I wished you would never have to see my face again, it only brings bad memories back, I know that, I didn´t wanted to see you and Mother because I knew I couldn´t bear your sorrow, I can´t barely bear my own!” He said as he dropped his head.
“There, there I told you already since years, you should have tell them, you were the one who didn´t listened, now you have to deal with her mild hatred above you!” Venturios said as he ruffled Rainbow Beams hair.
“You really should have tell her you were alive, you can´t imagine how down Rainbow Dash was!” Fluttershy said as she walked over to us with Gingorias.
“I know, I know and there is nothing I can do to ever make it unhappen again” He said, as he crowled the little wolf.
“Son, show me Thelaya, I need to know if she´s okay, please!” Chief Great Chariot asked and Rainbow Beam nodded.
“Wait a minute!” Rainbow Beam closed his eyes.
“Thelaya are you there?” he asked suddenly.
“I am always there, Rainbow Beam!” A Voice said as suddenly a Nightblue Tigress Appeared.
“Welcome Midnight Tigress Thelaya, you mighty Spirit of Earth and courage!” Chief Great Chariot said as he bowed before the Tigress.
“Chief Great Chariot it is an honor to meet you again, how is Gingorias?” Thelaya asked.
“Well the remaining of him are with Rainbow Beam at the moment, I could manage yust yet to save him before he could get extracted completly out of our Shaman, this is what is left of him!” The Chief said.
“Oooh, poor Gingorias, that is something which shouldn´t happen to us at all!” Thelaya said as she nuzzled the cute little Wolf.
“Kyupo, kyupo!” Gingorias said as he nuzzled back.
“And whats with the others!”
“Wait a minute, yoh Aquila?” Mana asked as suddenly an Owl appeared on her back.
“Oh hello , are we again at an Meeting?” The old Owl asked.
“Hello Aquila, it´s nice to see you again!” Thelaya said.
“Oh Hello Thelaya, how are you, wait this isn´t a meeting not?” Aquila asked .
“No, its more a War-court!” Thelaya said.
“Were are the others?” The Owl asked.
“Shiron, would you like to show yourself, for a moment!” Floraya asked to no one in particular.
“Oh Hello, my friends it has been so long!” The Fox which suddenly appeared was wrapped in the same style around Floraya´s neck as, same as Dragan around Venturios.
“Hebraska, my Mistress would you please come to us!” Little Strongheart asked reverent, as the majestical golden eagle appeared.
“Holy monkey!” Breaburn said, as he saw the Eagle on his wifes head sitting.
“No I am a Golden Eagle, my dear sir!” The Eagle said and you could see how Breaburns surprised face dropped in annoyance.
“You don´t say, smartass!” Breaburn muttered, getting a pleading face from his wife.
“Anyway what do we do now, I mean we now know what they want to do and what they are now about to do, so what are we going to do against them!” Fluttershy asked.
“Good Question, next one, I honestly have no idea!” I said.
“We need to seal the Ghost back in their graves, if we would find these fucking graves in this fricken large Desert, further more we need again to defeat Miasmaria and Miastralia, which have this time one very strong ally, which we too need to destroy, when Gamble manages to control his demonical Guardian Spirit we have hear a real Shaman Battle to fight, to that reason you guys need to know how to fight as a Shaman, that is something what Floraya can tell you, further more we need to find out where the Graves are, for that we need to go into the history of the Burning desert, and Westernfield.
Then we need to find a way on how to seal ther Ghost so that Miasmaria is unable to bring them back out of hell, fuck if only we had our swords here, the first thing we do is but sending a Letter at Celestia, this task takes spike okay?” I asked and he nodded.
“Wow I never thought I once will have to fight in a battle with another Guardian Spirit!” Hebraska said.
“Well now you have the chance to prove yourself!” Shiron told her.
“Okay Spike I dictate, are you ready?”
“Ready when you are!”
“Alright, well then here we go!”
“Hello dearest Niece, Celestia, I have some terrible news,in the Burning Desert in the Westernfields around Appleoosa we found some evil ghost, and an even stronger evil Guardian spirit being controled by the dark forces, unfortunalety has Kuronema as well as Freyenyo our Swords of Divine Punishment, and both are on a mission too far from us to connect them, I send you this letter with a mission for you, I want either you or Luna to send word to Tenebra, we need the T.D.S.G.´s down here, they are the only one which can help us right now, I wish for a quick answer of you, sirencely your Uncle Shockwave!” I signated the letter and Spike sended it off.
Moments later a scroll arrived.
“Dearest Uncle Shockwave , I received your letter and was quite shocked, I did as told and sended word down to Tarakena, Aunt Tenebra sends them off to you, but will it dure at least one full day for them to arrive to you guys, I hope you will get the situation back to normal, Sirencely, your Niece Princess Celestia!” Spike readed.
“Alright that we have now the next thing is to find out where the grave are for that I need you Venturios, think you can send a bit again?” I asked while the others looked strangely at me.
“Sure thing man!” He said and I nodded.
“Alright meet me a bit from the town in the desert, when you are ready!” I siad as I walked outside.
I scanned the desert infront of me and I began to audiosurfing over the Desert, using the sound of the animals in the desert as soundcatalysators, or better said as kind of Sattlelites.
The waves spread over the whole Desert, getting me a good Echo vision over the whole desert.
“Alright , their current position is here, almost 30 miles north from here, Dezibel Town lies here, 50 miles northeast, and its getting circled by an giant storm, like Chief Great Chariot said, then 70 miles west lies the Storming fields, and the entrance of the Hurricane Canyon, behind them, at least 20 miles, lies the Griphon Kingdom, 20 miles east lies Dodge Junction, and then ,……., wait what in the world is that, I don´t know this town, how is it possible, wait!” I closed my Echo vision and took out an acient map of Equestria, on wich still all current locations have been already build, and no, such a town was never on any map I ever saw.
“Yoh Jacky, how is it, ready?” Venturios asked my as he walked with the others up to me.
“Mr.Breaburn tell me, is there a new town being build in the desert?” I asked but he only looked crazy at me.
“No not that I know!”
“Does something is wrong Jacky!” Derpy asked me.
“Well over Echo vision I saw a Town, quite here, only a 40 miles away from the end of the desert, the Eaglesfall gorge, it was quite new and well too modern to be a normal westerntown!” I siad as I showed them the map, drawing a circle on it.
“No never saw a town there!” Little Strongheart, Mana and Chief Great Chariot said.
“Can it be that this town yust popped out of the sand!” Rainbow Dash said.
“Wait, which date is today?” I asked.
“We are the 21st Jukari ( Juny) 4.968!” Twillight said.
“So 4.000 years after the war with Gormaria!” I muttered.
“What do you mean Jacky!” Venturios asked me.
“Well do you still remember, the one town which still stood, even after Gormaria has attack and almost destroyed the whole Alincorn Kingdoms, there was one town which had survived the attack!” I said.
“Yes and it was that town that we sended from Old Equestria to Equuis, and which then had vanished after we came over!” He said and I nodded.
“Could it be that it had been under the Sand for like 4.000 years, so that we couldn’t find it!” Floraya said.
“It can be, there was no one alive in this town, as much as I know, that’s why I couldn´t find the town later, after we came up here!” I said.
“So it can be, how was it called again, something with dream I think!” Venturios muttered.
“Wasn´t it Dreamcatch town, the main town of the Dreamcatcher state!” Floraya said.
“Possible I honestly can´t rember well on it anyways, so let´s just go with that name for now!” I siad as I faced Venturios.
“Ready!”
“Ready when you are bro!” He siad.
“Alright then lets start!” I said as I put my hoofs on his orb, while he stretched his arms out.
Twilights Pov:
“What are they doing there!” I asked Floraya.
“Jacky uses Venturios as kind of an satellite sender/ receiver, he sends out a thought, which get reinforced by Venturios windmagic, so Jacky is able to contact every being in a direction, and he receives there thoughts!” Floraya said, as both of them changed the direction to west.
“Wait I got something, yes, yes okay I understood, thanks !” We heard Jacky Muttering as he almost blindly began to draw circles on the map, while writing the names there.
“Okay I got it, the oldest of an earth Dragon Clan not far from here, had saw that time the murderers and the deaths of them and he knew where they have been burried, all we have to do now is, to find the graves and to seal their bodies, pulling the ghosts back inside and sealing them so that no one will be able to release them again!” Jacky said.
“Yay!” We shouted and so me we mad our preparations, Floraya showed Fluttershy and the other s on how to fight with an Guardian spirit, Jacky and Venturios prepared to go searching for the Graves, while they took Applejack and me with them, while the others stayed here to defend the town, they created shield after shield around the town.
“Now we going to wait till tommorow morning!” Jacky said and we all agreed, we wished each one good night, and soon we were all asleep, well almost all.
In the Night:
“Twillight?” Fluttershy asked as the others already went sleeping
“Yes Fluttershy?” I asked, looking at the Yellow pegasus which slept next to Floraya while Gingorias nuzzled under her wing.
“Do you think we will survive this too!” She asked worried.
“Sure, of course we will, we have survived already Lumen, I am sure we also manage to survive the desert!” I told her but she shaked her head.
“No I mean, will we survive when we fail, what when the two months pass before we arrive Nestrells prison, when I see of how long this again will take us to alone come through the desert to Venturios residence, and then again we need to overcome the Hurricane which still keeps us from Dezibel town, and then we need to go back to Canterlot, if there comes nothing more, we have still so much to do even when we arrive in Old Equestria, and if its true what we found out, will the Dark Forces, not only Miasmaria and Miastaria but maybe also others, trying everthing to keep us from succeding in our mission, we have like only seven Full weeks anymore!” Fluttershy said and I nodded saddly.
“whatever will come, you can count on me as well as on everyone else, Fluttershy, we don´t let Equestria hanging!” I siad and she smiled again.
“We better go sleeping now, so we are fit for tommorow, right?” She asked and I nodded.
“Good night Fluttershy!”
“Good night Twillight!”
Earlier that Evening in Ponyville, Snippersman Manor, Sweetie Belle´s Pov:
“Well how do you find it!” Snips asked me , as we stood in front of his Villa.
“It´s quite, woah I am speechless!” I siad thruthfully, thruth be told it was an amazing house and the panorama was wonderfull.
“Not, hehe, well logically is the most of it still from the first tailors of our familly, we kinda just moved it here from Canterlot, I tell you that was a movement, alone Twenty Movementtrucks we needed to bring just the essentials, up here, when my parents then buid the house down in the town for me Snails and our Butler and our Maid, it was kinda new at the beginning since we became almost everything we ever wanted, since our birth and suddenly we sat there with like almost nothing, sure we became monthly some money for food and other essential things, but never enough for big things which we actually don’t needed, well it was as if we needed to start by zero, and with time we perfected our roleplay, and well you saw what it brought we have succefully gone through this three years, and now we are here to meet our destiny!” he said and I nodded.
“So let´s get in, I want to show you everything , I tell you , you will miss absolutly nothing here!”
“Well I hope so, I do miss my Sister quite a bit, I mean , she never was away that long and I just hope she is save, when I thought on what had happened at Lumen , what Pipsqueak told us, about Iris and the dark forces!” I said and he took me in his hooves.
“I´m sure she is okay, she always managed to survive things!”
“Yeah but honestly , these things were not that bad, I mean okay I admit Chrysalis was quite evil and Nightmare moon too, even King sombra and Discord but they honestly never really tried to actually kill them, but Iris, she threated to destroy the whole Island of lumen , she even took the dark souls in herself, overpowering her own body to the brim, making it burst into oblivion and creates a new, made of fallen souls, and then again Rarity travels with two stallions, which could do what do I know with her?” I said histerical.
“I don´t belive this, according to Scootaloo , the Wind-guy is together with Rainbow Dash, she said she saw it, but then again they both blushed deeply at that, she and Pipsqueak, and according to Dinky, and I think she should know´s best, is Lord Shockwave together with Miss Hooves!” Snips said.
“Im just saying, they just shall let their fingers off her!” I said.
“I´m positiv they would do that, and after all there is still Spike, according to Pips he is now even taller and much more manlier than before, anyways wanna eat something?” He asked me, as I looked worried at him.
“Sure why not!” I responded with a sigh.
“So what would you like to eat!”
“Dunno, what are upperscale class ponys eating anyways?”
“The same as normal living ponies, just in real small quantity!” Snips laughed.
“So c´mon I gonna prepare the meal and you are going upstairs looking at your chamber, and maybe the house a bit, Maid Strongfoal is going to show you anything!” Snips said as one of the maids which were in the living room nodded and stepped forward, she looked really nice and her smile wasn´t fake at all.
“It´s an honor, to make your aquaitance, Miss Graciella!” The maid said as she bowed before me, I curtsied before her , like Rarity had shown me on how to do.
“The honor is mine too , Miss Strongfoal!” I siad.
“Oh please call me, Ginerva!” She said and I instantly liked her. She has such a sunny nature .
“Woud you mind to follow me Miss Graciella, I will show you around a bit, here we have the TV room, for the long Family evenings!” Ginerva said, as we walked in the first room, away from the Living room.
“Wow , they have a Home Cinema!” I shouted as I looked at the giant thing, I have heard from Rarity, but it were actually the first time I saw one.
“yes, thought it´s not getting used often here, it´s more for the Family of the young master, to look at memorial Videos, or such things , it even gets used for formations of our school, you must know , the Family of the young Master is really generous and they even oppened an Maid and Butler School in their manson, the TV room gets mostly used for presentation and the Written- exams of the two classes, we have at the moment five Maids and five Butlers as Apprentices here, the formation is every week on Wednesday, the rest of the week, the Apprentices are getting teached in pratical work , like how to serve with the right style, how to speak for the different occasions , that is really important, a personal Butler or a headmaid never is allowed to have a monoton voice all the time. That would be a catastrophe if she brings bad news for the master, anyways, here we have the eastwing, the Masters Familly decided like seven years ago to open the once burned Wing again, it had burned down when an machine to produce fabric has catched fire after overheating, fortunalety no pony had been hurt that day, but the fire has throw the Production for months back and it was an rather bad year for the family, but with the help of everypony we managed to build the place back up, we renovated the whole wing and wanted to put the machines back inside, but the Master refused, he said that the machines were just too old, it had been heritages of the Masters great Grandfather, one of our aprrentices had then the marvelous idea to build another building a bit away from the mansons and to give the machines a new shelter while opening an Museum, you must know, The Snipperman Clan is not only the oldest tailor familly but they are also like the only ones who still have such giant machines and the idea of the apprentice helped the Family to get back on the track and soon we were back in the race, the apprentice is now the director of the museum, if you want we can go take a look, it should still be open, it will not last long I swear!” Ginerva asked, she was a funny person, she loved to speak , that for sure but her explanations were actually quite interessting.
“But of course I would love to!” I siad sincere , she smiled and together we walked outside, she told me a bit about the different rooms we walked throught, the corridor or when the Mansion was build, before the Family moved in.
“And this here is the Mistress greatest pride, the Rosegarden of the Princess, how she call it, it had won this year for the seventh time the price of the beautifullst mansion garden of the upper class, and let me tell, you, Mistress Snippersman is really a hard working mare, she did this here all by herself, and honestly, when ever I stepped in here to serve the tea, I become so proudfull of being able to work for such amazing ponys, I am prouder than I could ever be!” She said as she admired the beauty of the moonlit garden.
“Well I thank you, Ginerva, and I am glad to have such a wonderfull headmaid like you are!” A voice behind us said and we turned to be greeten by a Mare, which beauty could compare with Fleur de Lis´s beauty.
“Good Evening Madame!” Ginerva bowed before her Mistress, which leaned on her ear and whispered her something in her ear, she nodded.
“I am sorry but I guess I need to leave you now Miss Graciella, but I would be happy if we meet someday again!” She said sincere and bowed before me , while I returned the gesture.
“It would be wonderfull, Miss Ginerva!” I said cheerfull, she blushed and giggled before returning back inside of the mansion.
“She´s amazing not?” Miss Snippersman said as she looked with an smile after the Maid.
“So, so you are Sweetie Belle Graciella, Miss Rarity´s little sister, it´s an honor for me to actually get to know you, Salomon , I mean Snips, always told in the highest tones of you and I need to see, my suspicious were right!” She said with a chuckle.
“Your Suspicious, I think I don’t understand dear Miss!” I asked as sweatdrops formed on my forehead, had I done something terrible wrong , without knowing.
“Oh no worry my dear, I mean that you are extremly cute, the beauty of you , wich Salomon had described wasn´t a lie, you shine from outside as well as from inside, and your talent is also very good, I have seen a few of your works, like the punk rock outfits from five years ago, at the talent show, they were quite interessting and it inspired me, I based our newest collection that time after them, with the motto, `Fluorscentic chic´, and let me tell you it was a blast, the whole collection , pleased both, Hoitsy Toitsy, my cousin and Photo Finish, Leatherhead´s niece, …, oh my I didn´t even properly introduced myself, I am so sorry, where my manners are again, my name is , Amarilis Heavensgarden-Snippersman, Salomon´s Mother, its an honor for me to finnaly meet you in person, let me tell you , your latest pieces were, I can´t even describe it , they were wonderfull, especially, Lady Floraya´s Dress was so amazing, it was the best dress I ever saw in my live and it suited her in every little detail, I can understand Joe´s Speachlessness!” She said, and I was amazed , she wasn´t scary nor analytic as I thought, she was as wonderfull and easy going Lady.
“ Oh well that were really nothing, I just mashed a bit together what was left of Raritys stuff and which she wanted to throw away!” I siad embarrassed.
“But this exactly it, you have the talent to find in everything, and if it even looks worser than it is, something beautifull and good, you always find the good in it, so you do with the peoples, your friend Applebloom seams to be quite a little daredevil, she is often doing crazy things I heard, and still, you are her friend , because you saw in her more than her appearance gives off, she has a heart of gold, like her sister, she is faithfull and even when you argue sometimes, she is always there when you need her, the same stoods for Scootaloo, she can do very dangerous things by time , doing neckbreaking stunts, looks boyish, is kind of Ponyvilles Tomboy # 2, but then again, you see in her, someone you can have fun with, someone who wants to be brave and who is brave, you accepted her even after you learned what, and who she actually really is.
So you did with Salomon, he may looked a bit too much crazy and a little too normal to be , well, normal, I know, and sometimes he definitely went over the hill with his jokes but you saw in him something, something which made you thinking, that there was more , than yust a boy who was stupid enough to bring an Ursa Minor in the town, I must say , that time is was quite shocked too, I really thought he wasn´t that dumb. Oh well, we all make mistakes, big and small ones!” Miss Snippersman said to me, and I nodded.
“I guess I know that way to good!” I said with a sigh.
“Oh don´t be so shy, I tell you I was in my childhood also such a energetic filly, I still remember how I had winned Snip´s fathers heart over, you need to know he was a little rowdy back in school, he liked to play with the girls feelings, called himself playboy and heartbreaker, I never was so much in him, and well he had a reputation as the fastest runner of the school, and it was so, he won tournament after tournament, while I was well, more the nerdy one who ticks off fast, I had a very bad reputation about my aggressive side, I hate to get cornered in or to be threaten like shit, especially when someone threats me, so was he, Letherhead Snippersman, arrogant, selfcentered, and a player to the core, one day he found me as I just was about to go home after working in the school garden to plant the roses, I always loved these beauties.
Well he said he would like to see me ticking off, and actually he did going on my nerves so much that I lunged for him, he even began to destroy my hard work in the garden, I went mad and hit him right on the nose, it bleeded and he threated me he would go to the schools director.
Well the rose garden and the School directors office laid side on side but were separated by an large and high wall, so the only chance to get there was a tour around the whole school, well it was rather easy, we runned both to be the first one by the director, it was a good run, he was fast but me too, in the end I won by an lead of 2,5 seconds before him, enough to show him, here I may be nerdy and not so awesome but I can ran definitely faster than you even without showing off.
From that time on he challenged me almost every week for a duel between both of us, we growed quite strong together , may be it was first the routine but it seemed to me that he almost just concentrated on me anymore, there were no other girls as far as I knew, he wasn´t at the directors for five months, which was a damn new academy record.
Then it was hearts and hooves day and well my friends dragged me to the masked dance at our school, I had a sparkling red dress and a full face mask with the same design, the night was rather uninteressting and I mostly stood in the corner waiting for it to end, but then he came up on me, he was dressed in black, his voice low, he wore a mask of a smiling pony with a sharp shaped mustache, he said his name were Sir Anonymous, he offered me a dance , and well I was finally drunken enough to dance I told me, maybe it was also just boredom, I had drunken like nothing at all, the night began to shine more brightly, and before I knew it I laughed, I laughed and I enjoyed the night, of the hearts and the hooves day, he then took me away from the school to the beach behind, where a Campfire, a picknick and a bouquet of roses stood, I was amazed , I had that time still no clue who it could be, though I counted all the boys off which were at my school, I took of my mask, and asked him but he said he would rather like to wear it, so I let him, I had a good time I enjoyed the meal, while he only sucked with a straw on a heart, logically it was only a heart shaped bottle, he spoke to me, told me things which I was amazed off, I thought no one would take an interest in Shakespons literatur, but he did, he zitated lines with such a force and deepness wich I found incredible.
After the night ended , he brought me home, I wanted to low the secret and I almost go to see under his maks before he suprisingly kissed me, I was lovestrucken in a second, but he vanished that night, the next schoolday a rose and a letter layed in my spint, it went for some more months, until I found out by chance, I was at Leatherheads house, he and I needed to probe for an theather play, Shakespons Romarero and Juliette, he zitated Romarero with such a force light Sir Anonymous in my best night ever, later I went in the closet to fresh myself up a bit, as I found the costume in the laundry, I wasn´t even upset, I was honestly quite surprised on a good way, I never knew he could be such a nice guy, I confronted him and he admitted that he had fallen in love with me, he also told me about the Contest, warned and prepared me for it, so did his Grandmother, and his Mother, she told me about it, that the Two Families, the snippersman and the Snailbreed Clan always held those Competitions together, Eduardo´s Grandmother and Salomons great Grandma and Leatherheads Mother, the Womens of the Two families helped each other, behind the back of their mens, to prepare the newest Love-interest of the Oldest son, if he had one before the competition, as best as we could, and so will we for today also help you, my Son choosed you and I can only agree with him, and Eduardo has choosen Miss Twist, I really love the sweets of her family, and it would be an honor for me to help you two out!” Miss Snippersman said as she took my hooves in her´s.
“Miss Snippersman, it would be an honor for me!” I told her and her face lighted up.
“Wonderfull,well then we have no much time, for first we have to style you, Miss Twist will be here too in an Hour, together with the Womens of the Snailsbreed Clan!”
“But what about all the other competitions!” I asked her, and she nodded.
“For today we have the allround-housewife-talent comeptition, means we need to train you in the things you can´t do by now!” She said and I sighed.
“Means , Cooking and not falling over my hooves while doing house chores!” I whined, she lifted up my chin.
“Be brave Sweetie, we will get through this together” She said as she nuzzled my side, we began to walk down towards my room.
“How have you met my Parents!”
“Oh so you ask me how I met your mother, well this is easy she was the only friend I had at the academy, since my father is still the royal gardener, I was allowed to go to the Canterlot Art Academy, much like your Mother Perla, her mother made the best dresses for the upperclass, but my husbands family made the dresses for the royals, so he was allowed too, your father Magnum was his best friend, and the only junior Rugby Player who ever managed to make three touchdowns in a row without intteruption in one game, this gave him his cutiemark, before he became a cook, your Mother was that time Cheerleader and I scientist, but we liked each other since I once helped her against a group of horny colts, since that day we were friends, your Father and mother always had a thing for each other and it didn´t lasted long until he was together with your mother, from that day on she had two defenders because she was like the hottest filly in the Academy,and all the boys were head over heels for her, before they got to know Magnum´s fist!” Miss Snippersman said, and I laughed.
“Yep I always thought that!” I siad honestly.
“So tell me Sweetie Belle, do you have a new project in mind!” She asked me and I nodded.
“Yes, Jacky asked me if I could create the Dresses for him and the others for the Next grand Galloping Gala, I just hope they like it, especially Rarity she´s always so prisky about everything!” I sighed.
“Oh im positive that they will love it!” so c´mon you have a competition to win.
Meanwhile in the eastquarter of the Everfree forest, Roseluck´s Pov:
Why am I here, why at such a dark hour in such a dark forest with such creepy trees, I want to be away from here, but something drags me here, some mighty force pulled me away from my comfortable bed and then out here, I havent ever done such a thing ever before, but here I am following a little light sphere.
“Why am I doing this!” I asked myself as I saw light, I hoped for the town, that somehow I walked for hours in a circle and then somehow find the way back home, but no as I followed the light sphere, I came on a clearing, and right into a paradise of Roses, there where everywhere roses and in the Middel I could see a tiny Temple with a domed roof.
“Where am I!” I asked myself.
“Come too me, come to me Roseluck I have waited for you!” a voice said, and suddenly she stood infront of me, a pony soo white like snow , completely white only her eyes shone red.
“Who are you?” I asked fearfully, backing away.
“Please don´t go, I may be a ghost but I don´t gonna hurt you or anypony, I just want to ask you something, and maybe talk a little with you, my name is Roselake, Roselake Dryade!”
