//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: Wanted: The Last Babylonian // by DJ-Photonix //------------------------------// As she flew at incredible speeds, Luna had felt a sharp pain shoot down her horn, as if she had received a slap to her face when the pain reached it.She became dazed, and spun around. She was able to fix her flight pattern, and there was only one thought that ran into her head. SDammit! She's draining my magic! I need to get to Twilight! She did what she could blocking her sister from her magic, but still had a hold on her. Celestia's power was fire based, and as such would be her magic celestial body that she mastered to move. Luna herself was water based, and moved the moon with a bit of trouble. They caused longer nights then normal, but the ponies of their kingdom hadn't minded. Luna was more accepted after the time in Ponyville. They even apologized for freaking out so easily. With all the changes over the last few years with the elements in new bodies, and with it gave her more time to spend. This helped the ponies of Canterlot accept her gaining part control, instead of just Celestia ruling them. It really caused quite a fuss, and she was glad it was mostly over. The older ponies refused to agree with Celestia's ruling. Ponyville came into view as she flew, and Luna saw that there were ponies surrounding a pony with light pink mane. She was shouting loudly asking where a pony was. "Where is he?!" She yelled. Luna landed, and quelled the pony with her magic by lifting her up into the air. "Who are you looking for?" Luna asked her. "Tyzander!" The pony sighed, and when she looked up, Luna noticed it was Fluttershy. "Fluttershy..." Luna said. "He's fighting for his life as we speak." "I thought he was in his bed, but when I passed out on the floor, he might of too." "What are you talking about Fluttershy? I just landed." Luna said, then a feeling grew inside of her. "What is the last thing you remember Fluttershy?" "I remember waking up on the floor after you left...or...maybe...Wait did you come over..." "We must see Twilight!" "Wait, who's Twilight? Infact...who are you anyways? Oh aren't you a princess?" "Poor Fluttershy...you've been hit with a memory spell gone wrong..." Luna cried hugging the pegasus. "I'll just haft to find her myself." Luna placed Fluttershy on her back, and started to run. She was slower though, her sister had mannaged to drain even more power then she remembered her taking, and the pegasus on her back was starting to feel heavier. Fluttershy was a nimble pegasus, and was so light, Luna had to hurry. She slammed the door causing Spike to drop a lit joint. "P-princess Luna, what are you doing here?" He asked trying to put the lit joint out. "Where's Twilight?!" She asked back. "Fluttershy was hit by a memory spell gone wrong." "What!? Hold on!" Spike said running as fast as his small legs could carry him. Only a minute later until she heard Twilight scream what, then teleported into her living room. "Why haven't you done it yet!?" Twilight asked. "My power's are limited. My sister is taking as much as she can to kill Tyzander." "Who's he?" Twilight asked. "Oh! Was I hit too? I'll use one on-" "You know you can't Twilight. It only works on another pony. That shares the moments with you that can restore them." Luna explained. "Fluttershy was hit by a spell gone wrong, and it seems you got the right end of the stick. Luckily there is a spell to remove spells that go wrong." "And it was the first spell Celestia herself taught me!" Twilight said with a smile on her face. "Use it then!" She ordered Twilight. Twilight's horn started to glow brightly, spews of magic trickled out of her horn as liquid, but evaporated as it hit the ground. She walked up to Fluttershy who was looking at the glowing horn intensely. Then her horn touched Fluttershy's head, and then the pegasus dropped to the ground. A few moments later she opened her eyes, and looked around the room. "Fluttershy...?" Luna asked. "What's the last thing you remember?" "Oh, um... I remember I was walking home with Twilight, but why are we here?" "Good.."Luna sighed. "Princess Luna, you never explained who Tyzander was." Twilight said. "You've heard of the Babylonians right? Well there's one left, and he's in trouble." "Were we friends?" Fluttershy asked. Luna nodded with a smile. "The way you reacted when you too him to the hospital in Canterlot...It was like you...you cared about him a lot." She said. "Then lets get the girls, and rescue him!" Twilight said. "Dear Princess Celestia, You never ever mess with the mane six!" They giggled, and ran out the door. ______ However, it was a different situation in Canterlot as ponies started to evacuate the area as large miniature nuclear explosions went off in a shield that seemed to hold for the moment. "Why are you wasting energy? Teleporting takes a lot out of a pony if one is unpracticed." Celestia laughed rapidly shooting bolts of super heated magic. Tyzander grunted as he teleported. "You-fool-wasting-energy-heating magic-like this!" He said teleporting behind Celestia, then bucked her. "Your old Celestia, let's start counting the years!" Celestia shot back at the Babylonian running her horn into his face, meeting his long horn, eye to eye. She held her body in place, not allowing Tyzander to flip her on her back. She charged her horn with a smile on her face. "Didn't your parents tell you not to mess with FIRE!" She shouted blasting him back to the edge of the sheild. She laughed walking over to him. "Look at you! Fighting this infection, and ME! How does this feel?" She asked rubbing her hoof into his cut. "Does this burn!? Does this match the pain of your race dying! I can remember those screams. Oh how I loved to hear you scream mommy. Scream for you mommy. SCREAM!" She yelled in his face rubbing down harder on his infected leg. "Stop!" He cried out. Celestia smiled getting close to his ear. "I'll kill you when I wish. A kingdom wasn't destroyed in a day. It took three!" She laughed, jumping off of his body. "Get up! Fight me! You aren't going to lose to a mare are you? Oh the last thing you'll remember when you go to hell is me laughing at your brown face!" Tyzander felt a growing hate in his chest. "Shut up!" He shouted firing a bolt of magic into Celestia's face, causing her to fly the other way. He got close firing more, and more bolts of magic until it was a beam of free energy firing on her. She teleported before she grew more wounded, and sent Tyzander flying into the air with her magic. "I'll kill you!" She yelled. "Just how I killed your kind!" Tyzander felt the escape from his lungs as he hit the ground, landing on his side. For a moment he saw the island again. That's when he remembered what his parents told him while they were alive. "Okay Typically, today we'll teach you about the power of Babylon's Island. You ever notice how it looked like a pony curled up?" "I guess, but why does it?" "Because Ty, Babyloina is an ancient weapon during the Balance War. If royal blood shows that his kingdom is in danger of extinction, the Pettra Aer Stone will move to the core, and then teleport to where the royal Is. It will destroy anything you ask it two, but it must see it as a threat." Before Celestia impaled him in the chest, Tyzander rolled backwards. Then he jumped up smiling. "Looks like somepony has somepony up his hoof? Let's see what you've got!" _________ "Hurrry!" Luna shouted. "I feel a very intense magical surge of energy." "I do too!" Twilight said. "Now that you mention it, I feel like something is up..." Rarity said sitting in the hot air balloon. "Wait, what's that on the mountains over there?" Rainbow Dash asked pointing to a large structure moving over the mountains. It walked on four legs, and looked like a pony without mane, or a tail. "Oh no...Rainbow Dash! Make like the wind! The ancient weapon of Babylon has been activated!" "I've only read of it's power. It was designed by an Alicorn that knew how to kill." "Who was that?" "My mother..." Luna said. "Allow me to explain on our way. My mother built it because she would kill anything that got near us with out permission. So she built that to kill the king of the very creatures that Discord is. It is powered by an Alicorn heart, but is fueled by an Alicorn soul." "It can only be controlled by a royal however!" Twilight shouted. "Wait is this Babylonian royal?" "It seems like it maybe so Twilight!" Luna said as they arrived in Canterlot, but the large pony was just reaching Ponyville. "Look there they are! And it looks like Celestia is freaking out." Apple Jack said. __________ "You've destroyed everything I ever loved, or respected in my life. I've ran around this planet hoping somepony would help me. But you! You had to make my life a living hell! I think real hell would be kinder!" Tyzander shouted as he slammed his hooves into Celestia's chest. He pushed her aside, and bucked her, hearing a snap comming from her back. She screamed in pain as her left wing had snapped out of place from the forcive impact. "You made my parents run, leaving their loved kingdom! I had to run from Alicorns, Earth Ponies, Griffins, Unicorns, Zebras, and from trained assassins all my life. I lived my entire life, in pain, broken of any possible home, but when Fluttershy, and her friends came...I felt safe for once. I plan to return the favor! I made a vow dragon's make to those who save their lives to Fluttershy, and Twilight! And you know what Celestia, princess of Equestria, and bring of life death?" He asked looking her in her eyes as a large pony stood over them both. "I plan to keep it." He answered looking to the structure above them. "Look at you!" He laughed in disbelief. "You're huge! And you know what? I command you to kill Celestia!" "No!" Luna screamed flying right into the sheild. "No! Please no!" Tyzander looked at Luna as she cried. Then the pony started moving its mouth. "Tyzander, you have ordered Galaxia, Queen of Equestria, bringer of world's, and the very soul that fuels the Pettra Aer Stone, for me to kill my daughter?" "M-mother?" Celestia, and Luna asked. "Tia, what have you done to deserve Tyzander's ruling?" "Mother of all!" Tyzander shouted at the large pony. "She has killed all but me!" "Is this true Tia?" She asked. "Yes, but they killed you!" "Wrong!" Galaxia said. "They gave me a second chance!" "I don't understand mother!" Celestia said. "If you remember my love, that I was the one who nearly killed them off. The King and Queen unknowingly had their daughter kill herself to end it. It was a gift that touched me deeply. I gave my life to them so that they may have grown stronger to aid Equestria if there was another war!" "Kill her!" Tyzander ordered. "Quiet! Don't you see Tyzander? Look around...If I remember, your parents are dead, and as the dead their minds died with them. They became evil spirits brain washing you into thinking you could bring back your race. That is not how!" "Are you saying I can bring them back?" "Yes, and if you should decide to kill my daughter, I will still kill her. But if you don't either way, I shall bring them back." Tyzander looked at the ponies who flew around, or stood around them. The area sheild was now gone, and Luna stood next to Celestia, trying not to cry. Then he started to walk to Celestia. "I suppose a treaty is in order?" Tyzander asked with a kind smile. "I think I should of not listened to my parents, and maybe you didn't know the whole story, so you got mad." He shrugged. "Not that I'll ever truely forgive you for what you did to me, and I know that you know this is true." He said looking up to Galaxia. "She lives, but those who have died by her actions shall never be forgotten, even my sister." "Thank you brother, I've watched you your whole life. I gave my own to protect you." Said a voice that came from the pony. Tyzander felt a tear run down his face as the large pony teleported away. He turned around to see Celestia walk up next to him, looking at the destruction. "I don't suppose you can make a spell to fix this..." Celestia chuckled. "Sure..." "Sorry...about everything that I've did, or said." "It's alright, and we both get to live." He said. "And I still get to keep my promises." ___________Two Years Later_____ "Ho-ld still!" Twilight said to Fluttershy as she zipped up her wedding dress. She sighed in relief when it was completely zipped up to her neck. "I would to thank you girls." Fluttershy said. "It means a lot to me that you're here." "Think nothing of it dear." Rarity said. "Who knew he had a thing for wings?" Pinkie Pie said as music started to play. "Can't believe he got Octavia to play for your wedding." "Let's go!"
