I get a break

The Battle

I crash through the window screaming. I impact on the solid ground skidding holding my eyes closed tight. I could hear gasp and weapons being drawn out. When I reopened my eyes I saw two guards pointing spears right at me “Guards get away from him!” shouted celestia. The guards back away from my body as celestia walked up to me

“Well you make quite a entrance.” I grinned and got to my feet “I know. Sorry about the windows” I wiped some of the glass out of my hair.
“Tia what happened!” Luna galloped around the corner yelling “Oh…” I waved “hi Luna!” she walked up to me “so cloud what are you doing here?” I shrugged “got bored and needed to fly off a hangover.” They both laughed “Yes we heard about your party and your little drinking game.” I smiled sheepishly “We also heard about your singing talent.” Luna stated “yea well I have had a lot of time to practice...”

I glanced at celestia “Has the author told you any information yet?” she shook her head. I sighed “Well I need to know what we’re dealing with so I can enjoy my damned vacation!” they both nodded. Suddenly the air got cold. I breathed out to see my breath. “Oh fuck…” Luna looked over at me in worry “Cloud what’s wrong?” fuck not here why here!? “Listen go to the other side of the throne room now!” they did as I told.

I could hear fighting outside the doors and the death of guards. “Cloud what is happening!” celestia asked in a worry tone. “Shits about to get real!” I shouted back. The doors were forced open. One of the biggest monsters I have seen stood there. “Are you fucking kidding me!” I shouted. The beast had the torso of a man and legs of a bull. Fuck im dealing with the Minotaur on roids and looks like chuck Norris can’t even take him.

The Minotaur roared “Come and get me ol beasty!” I taunted. I could hear shouting from behind me. He charged me no way I could dodge him! I jumped into the air as he rammed me. I grabbed his horns and pulled. He howled in pain. He began to shake me violently “Oh no you don't!” I proceeded to take out my hand cannon only to be grabbed by his big meaty fist.
More shouting from where the princesses stand. My gun was flung across the room.

I was still in the grip of the monster being crushed as he smashed me into the ground. The monster picks me up once more and throws me across the room slamming right next to the princesses “Cloud!” Luna shouted “im fine!” I glared daggers at the monster “My turn!” I raised my hand and snarled “FORZARE!”

A kinetic energy took over and took the monster flying into a wall smashing him against it. I laughed but the fight wasn’t over. He pushed himself out of the wall. “Goddamit last time I fought you I killed you fast!” he stood there a black glow seeping from a gash. “That’s it!” I snarled.

My hair set ablaze. My fist began to glow with fire. My clothes turned into armor. I pulled out my sword and stared at the monster with my black demonic eyes. “You are going to die now” I snarled. He charged me once again. I grabbed the Minotaur by his throat and headed straight for the window. I charged out the window heading straight down with his throat still in my hand.

I began to gain speed. I felt as if my skin was going to be torn off. I heard a ginormous boom as I began to go even farther. I heard glass shattering. I slammed him hard into the ground hearing his bones breaking and it yelping in pain as it made a crater. I looked down at the monster as it began to dissolve into nothing but a black gas. “Vindi…Always Vindi.” I changed back into my regular state my hair falling down. Clothes changing and sheaving my sword. I spread my wings and begin heading up to see the damage I caused. Glass everywhere ponies holding their eyes debris everywhere. “Damn thought I could have done better.”

I flew in the window where I crashed in and out of. I could see the two princesses with tears in their eyes. Guards began pouring into the room. “Cloud you’re okay!” Luna yelled with glee but a hint fear. She ran up to me and put her forelegs around for a hug “Of course im alright im the guardian I can’t be killed!” she smiled and pulled me in for a tighter hug which felt very uncomfortable “Luna…Cant…Bre-“she let go “sorry I was just worried about you” she trailed off “

I look over at celestia “We need to find out what we’re dealing with now. That wasn’t a regular enemy I have fought this one felt harder as if his strength was in it…” she had a worried look on her face “Im afraid I may know what it is we are dealing with.” She had fear in her face “The nightmare…” I looked at her “The nightmare?? Never heard of it.” She sighed and glanced over at Luna. Luna nodded. Cloud sit down I will explain everything.
30 minutes later

“so what your telling me is that this nightmare can take over people and turn them into living nightmares?” she nodded “Well hell this aint fun for me!” I sighed “Well we need to find out where this nightmare is. And we should make sure there is no god like creature that will take it over.” I glanced over at the two princesses. “I suggest you upgrade you guards a bit have them ready for fights and have a lot of them.”

“Yes that would be wise I suppose.” Celestia replied. “Okay im going back to ponyville contact me are send a letter if you ever need help are wish to see me.” I cracked my neck as I fished that sentence. Celestia sighed “Cloud I am sorry you cannot enjoy your vacation just yet.” I waved a hand “No its fine im used to being the hero”

“Cloud there is something I was wondering that you can do.” I craned my neck around “Yea?” I asked “Please come have dinner with me and Luna and bring somepony else if you would like. I nodded “I’d love to I will see you later celestia.” She waved to me with her front leg “Good bye cloud I’ll see you tonight!”
I took off towards ponyville
