//------------------------------// // Chapter 8 // Story: The Force Unleashed on Equestria // by Fire Angel //------------------------------// Galen woke up in his room and looked around. Today he and Luna were going to help Aethor with coming to peace with himself. He walked into the garden and was surprised when he saw Aethor and Luna were already there. He walked up to them and sat down next to them. "You're here early," he said. Aethor looked at him. "Is that okay?" "That's great!" Aethor nodded and went back to concentrating while Galen went to talk to Luna. "Hey." "Hey," she said. They sat there for a moment. "I've been thinking about what you said last night," she said. "Oh?" "You really trust me?" "Yes I do. You take cation. I like that." She chuckled. "Thank you. I never thought me not trusting someone would make them trust me." "After what I've been through I don't trust anyone. Unless they prove they don't trust anyone." "Thank you." "No problem." Aethor looked up. "I believe that I have succeeded." "Lets see." Aethor raised his hand and focused on a a single rock. Then, it rose up into the air. "Congratulations. You are now able to use the force. Now we need to teach you different types. Such as lightning." "Really?" "Yes. Now, to use force lightning, imagine the force is lightning flowing through your body." Aethor focused for a minute before nodding. "Now, raise your hand and think of that lightning shooting from your hand." Aethor raised his hand and focused. Then, FLASH! Lightning shot out and hit a nearby tree, making it explode. "Wow. Very nice," Galen said. "Woah. That was awesome." Galen chuckled. "Well, I think your ready." "What do you mean?" "Right now that is all I can teach you. You need to learn everything else your self." Aethor nodded. "Good. Now, we ne-" He stopped when he saw an explosion from inside the castle. "LETS GO!!!" They ran into the castle and came face to face with... "YOU," Galen shouted when he saw Boba. "I'm here for the girl." Then, Boba grabbed Juno and started to fly off. "NO!!!!!!" Galen used the force to grab Boba and pull him back. Boba fired a missile at him, but Aethor pushed it away. Then, Galen pulled and Boba's jet pack flew off and he fell to the floor. "YOU WILL DIE!!!!" Galen charged Boba and started attacking. Boba dodged left and right while shooting at him. Then, Galen blocked a bolt and it hit Boba in the shoulder. "AARRRGGG!" "NOW YOU DIE," Galen said. He ran up and stabbed Boba in the stomach. "Now die." Boba fell to the ground, dead. "Good riddance," Galen said, "Now, lets find Celestia." They ran through the castle and found her in the throne room surrounded by guards. "CELESTIA!!!" Aethor ran up to Celestia and hugged her. "I'm fine Aethor." "What about Soul?" "She's right he....where did she go?" Galen froze when he realized what Boba was talking about. "No..." "Galen? What's wrong?" "I'm sorry." Galen ran out the door and into the forest. "Where is he going," Celestia asked Juno. "I'm sorry. Your daughter was taken by the one who attacked." "No." "I'm sorry." Aethor's eyes were starting to glow and flicker like a fire. "Aethor," Celestia said, "Please calm down." Aethor mane was now a roaring fire. "The one who took our daughter." His voice was deep and booming. "Aethor, please." "AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!" Aethor shot forward and out into the forest. Behind him, Galen heard and explosion and looked back to see a very angry Aethor flying at him. "Shit." Aethor tackled him and looked down at him. "WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER!?!?!?!?" "WHAT DO YOU THINK I WAS TRYING TO DO!?!?!?!?!?" Aethor stopped. Then he got up and sat down on the ground. "I'm sorry." "It's fine. Now, lets go get your daughter." He nodded and they walked into the forest. They walked for hours. Finally, they spotted Boba's ship. "That's were she'll be," Galen said. They entered the ship and looked around. Soon, Aethor heard soft crying from behind a door. "SOUL!!! IS THAT YOU!?!?!?" "DADDY!?!?!?" "Hang on sweetie. Daddy's going to get you out." He put his hands together and then pushed them at the door. The door flew off the hinges and he rushed in. He saw Soul in a cage. "SOUL!!!" "DADDY!!!" Aethor grabbed his scythes and swung at the cage. It shattered. Soul ran out and hugged her father. "DADDY!" "Soul. Don't leave ever again. You scared my and your mother half to death." "I'm sorry daddy. I didn't mean to." "It's alright. Lets go home." They made their way back to the castle and went inside. "Wow," Galen said as he got into bed, "What a long day." "I know," Juno said, "Lets get some sleep." "Yeah." Galen laid back and closed his eyes to sleep. Little did he know, he was being watch.
