//------------------------------// // Caprica // Story: Destiny // by wolfwarrior757 //------------------------------// "Who are you?" Celestia asked, stomping her hoof. The strange mare chuckled darkly. "Ah, no wonder you wouldn't know me," she said. "I'm from before you are born. Ninety seven years before you were born, to be exact." She landed on the golden rail of the balcony. "My name is Caprica." Caprica said. "Long ago, forty three years before you were born I believe, I attacked Equestria with an army of dragons, timberwolves, and evil, cold, pegasi and unicorns. I was incredibly powerful, and almost destroyed Equestria and took over. However, your father, Kal, sacrificed himself to save Equestria. He sealed me away in a cave, and I was stuck there until now," Caprica grinned. "You have no power to stop me." "Celestia!" Celestia turned around and saw Cadence, Luna, and Twilight run to her. "Who is that?" Luna said. "Caprica," Caprica said flatly. "Who are you guys?" "What do you want with us?!" Cadence shouted, ignoring Caprica's question. Caprica sighed. "I want to take over Equestria, and destroy you guys in the process. I want to finish something I started long ago," Caprica said. "All of Equestria is under attack." "You wont get past us!" Twilight Sparkle said, stamping her hoof. Caprica chuckled. "Oh really?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. Suddenly she shot a beam of magic at Twilight, knocking the newest princess down,making her cry out, eyes wide. "What did you do to her?!" Cadence cried. "It just bruised her, don't worry." Caprica said. "But I can do much worse. You've no idea." She grinned, then unfolded her wings, and quickly flew off into the distance. "What will we do?" Luna asked, trying to keep her voice calm. "We must combine our powers to stop this," Celestia replied. "Caprica has more power than us, but we at least have to try." Cadence helped Twilight up, and the two nodded in agreement. "Let us go," Luna said. And the four princesses flew off. ***************************************************************************************** "Hurry up!" Lyra shouted. The four had fled from the castle, and were rushing down the streets of Canterlot. Fires were all around them, and pegasi and unicorns clad in black armor leaped at them. Lyra had a scratch on her cheek, and a large bruise on her left flank, right above her cutie mark. Bon Bon had four cuts and scratches on her legs, Colgate had a sprained left hoof and many bruises, while Berry Punch had some cuts and bruises over her body. "Where are we even going?" Berry panted. "Safety," Lyra replied as her friends caught up. "The castle was completely safe!" Colgate snapped. "Why did we leave?" Lyra didn't answer. They continued on, Colgate grumbling to herself. "Girls!" The four looked and saw Princess Cadence standing there. "Princess!" Bon Bon gasped. "Girls, duck into the nearest building. Us and the other Princesses will try to stop this all." Cadence instructed. The four nodded, and ran into a nearby shop. It was small and it had no enemy pony, so they were safe. Through the window they saw Cadence fly off. "Now what?" Berry asked, her voice trembling. "Princess Cadence said she and the other princesses will try to fix things," Lyra said. "So we have to wait." And so they did, but they were all very worried. *********************************************************************** "Everypony inside a building?" Luna asked as Twilight, the last princess to arrive, arrived at the largest balcony. The balcony overlooked all of Manehatten, which was up in flames and had dead bodies scattered around, as well as evil ponies running around. "Yes, I made a final check and there is no good pony out on the streets," Twilight confirmed. "Very well," Luna spoke. "are we all ready?" "I'm ready," Twilight said, closing her eyes, standing next to Cadence. "As am I," Cadence replied, preparing herself. "Let us begin," Celestia said. A faint glow appeared on all their horns, as they began to channel a powerful magic. It increased into a bright beam of light, as they all tried their best to pour their magic into the same spell. Caprica saw this, and tensed up. Suddenly a blinding beam of light appeared, and she closed her eyes and grit her teeth. It was about a minute before she opened them again, and when she did, nothing had changed. A deep laugh emitted from her throat. "Even the princesses can't eat me!" She cried. "I am a god!" She dove down and crashed into a window of a shop. Ignoring the cuts on her wings, and lunged at the nearest pony, a light blue unicorn with a white and darker blue mane. The mare's eyes were wide with fear, and in one quick movement Caprica snapped her neck. The unicorn fell dead to the ground, eyes dull. Around her, three other ponies, one a unicorn, stood there, speechless. Caprica roared with laughter as she screamed the same thing over and over again. "I AM A GOD!"
