Chapter 5
A new foe
“Come on Night, yea that’s it,” Dark said as Night blasted the dummy with a magical blast. Night fell a bit, he was still weak.
“Darnit!” Night yelled as he got up and tried again, but this time it backfired. Discord walked into the training grounds at that time and saw Night trying to stand up.
“Night, take a break. Don’t use all your energy now, save it.” Discord said as he spawned three seats and some food. “And besides it’s lunch,”
Dark walked over to Night and helped him up. “You need to learn how to control your anger and use it to help you fight,”
Night and Dark took a seat at the table and grabbed a plate. Night grabbed some hamburgers, Dark ate some hot dogs, and Discord still had that 12 foot sub from yesterday. Shining ran into the room and scared Night, making him dropped his food.
“AH, COME ON!” Night yelled as he grabbed the other one on his plate.
Shining walked over to Discord and whispered something in his ear. After he left Discord stood up and began to speak. “Well we got a new foe, there was a letter at the door from...”
“From whom?” Night asked. Discord looked down.
“Sunset Shimmer, she was a pasted student of Celestia’s. She wants revenge, she said that she would give back my crown, but you’ll have to fight for yours,” Discord finally finished.
“Sunset Shimmer?” Dark asked, he zoned out during the conversation.
“A past student of Celestia. She want’s revenge on us, but for some odd reason she want’s to get rid of Night,” Discord replied as he snapped his fingers. Night fell to the ground, Discord had gotten rid of the table and chairs.
“A warning next time?” Night joked as he stood back up and went over to the door leading to the main hall.
“Sorry, but I am the god of chaos,” Discord laughed. “Anyways where are you going?’
“I’m going to study a bit of magic. I need to know as much as possible before I go up against Sunset,” Night said as he teleported up to his room.
“How much has Night grown?” Discord asked Dark as he stood up.
“First, that hurt. Second, he is growing, but not too fast where he’ll become too overpowered for his own mind and body,” Dark said as he teleported up to his room.
Discord stood there for a minute and asked. “Why am I always alone?”
As all of that was happening, Night was in his room and had about 20 books on his desk. Night keep flipping through the book, trying to find out how to control his anger and magical ability. Back in the throne room Discord was busy with some news reporters.
“You know I don’t have to put up with this. Shining keep them busy while I go and get Night,” Discord said as he teleported into Night’s room.
Night was flipping through his last book as a bright flash stopped him. he turned around in his chair a saw a scared chimera.
“*sigh* What is it father?” Night asked as he started to put the books away.
“News reporters, they want to talk with you. I told them you might won’t, but they kept asking me about you,” Discord stuttered. Night got off his chair and went to the door.
“I’ll talk with them, can you just clean my room?” Night joking asked as he left through the door. Night walk over to where the stage was and saw Shining running around, trying to answer questions the reporters kept throwing at him.
He teleported Shining over to him as the reporters looked around, confused.
“I’ll take it from here, but first I need a good opening. None of these reporter have seen me.” Night said as he looked around trying to find something. “Might be a bit overdone, but this will work,”
Night grabbed some cloth and threw it over him, hiding him. It flashed in his head, this reminded him of when he would go out before Discord broke free. He entered and all the reporters turned back to the mic stand. The reporters started to whisper among themselves as they wonder who the cloaked pony was.
“Who are you?” One of the front reported asked.
“Really, you guys have no idea who I am?” Night asked, standing closer to the microphone. All the reporters stood there waiting for something to happen.
“I swear you guys are dumb, you didn’t see me standing with Discord when we took over?” Night asked fixing to throw the cloth off of him.
“Well sir, most of us were in the Crystal Kingdom,” Most of the reporters said as the same time.
“Well let me fill you in,” Night said as he throw the cloth off of him. The reporters looked down at their pads and started to take notes.
“Sir, who are you and what are you doing living with Discord?” One of the reporters in the back asked. Some of the reporters that lived in Canterlot already knew about Night and had some questions about his reactions to Discord's lie.
“Some of you are so late. I am Night Wolfe, son of Discord and Nightmare Moon,” Night yelled over the reporters. Under his breath he said something “Sadly I’m not very powerful,”
“What was that sir?” One of the reporters asked.
“Nothing, now any questions?” Night asked as he jumped off the stage and started to walk through the crowd of reporters. He flew up to get a better view and a question popped in most reporters head. the stand hid his wing and all that could be seen was his horn.
“How does it feel to be the first “evil” alicorn?” They asked.
“It feels...good. An alicorn prince that’s the son of Discord, hell yea it feels good,” Night said as Discord came back into the room. “Ah father, these guys are so late it’s not even funny,”
“Yea, I know,” Discord stated before standing up towards the mic.
“As many know, my son is an alicorn. If any of one got a problem then leave now,” Discord yelled to make sure everypony heard. Everypony just froze, they knew Discord could do anything and make life harder then it was.
“Again, any questions?” Night asked as he landed beside Discord. “No? Good, now get out,”
All the reporters left and all that stood in the room was Night and Discord, they all turned with the sound of an opening door. There standing in the door was shining who looked terrified.
“What is it Shining?” Discord said as he looked over to Night who had already moved down to Shining.
D-D-D-Dark, he was founded passed out!” Shining blurted out.
“WHAT!” Night and Discord said at the same time. “What made him pass out?”
“A hard hit on the head by the looks of things and from what the doc said...He’ll be up and helping you in about three days,” Shining said.
“Oh thank god. Discord, I’ll go to my room and maybe see Dark,” night said as he flew up to the top floor.
“Wait Night, the doc said not to let any pony visit Dark,” Shining yelled to the alicorn. Night stood in his flight path and turned around.
“*sigh* Ok,” Night said as he turned back, heading for his room. “You know, sometimes I wonder Shining is here just to make me mad and I’m talking to myself again,”
Night entered his room and like yesterday he jumped on his bed like a teenager. he looked over to the bookshelf and saw Discord put everything up. Night looked up in his bed a saw a book that caught his eye, the book was soon surrounded by his black aura and lifted to him. Night flipped the book over and began to read the back of it.
The back of the book read, Reading body sign. How to and what they mean.
Night took a good long look at the book and flipped through a few pages.
‘Seem like an ok book’ He thought as he stood up in his bed and began to read. As Night was reading his little book, Armored and Shining were talking about the crowns and what they now think about the two chaotic beings.
“So do you think Night will win the fight if they do fight?” Shining asked Armored as he took a seat in front of him in the dining room. Armored didn’t reply, Shining knew that Armored hated Night, but why was the real question.
“I don’t know, I could care less. Tell the truth I hope Sunset wins,” Armored replied. Shining got up and walked over to Armored and slapped him. “OW! What the fuck. Can’t I speak my mind.
“Why do you hate Night? What is it you see him that I don’t?” Shining asked as he sat back down.
“HE KILLED LUNA!” Armored yelled making Shining fall back in his chair.
“Point, so what, maybe Celestia will break free and fix all of this, but why don’t I want Night to go. Why do I want Night to stay even if he’s just a prisoner?” Shining said standing up from his chair that fell back.
The two sat there, silence filled the room, before being broken by the flash of somepony teleporting in. The two guards got up and got ready to attack if it wasn’t somepony they knew.
“*Cought* Heck, man I need more practice,” Night said as he got up from where he teleported.
“It’s Night, stand down Armored!” Shining yelled over to Armored.
“Hello, I got a test for...you Armored you’ll be perfect,” Night said as a grinned formed on his face.
Armored started to back up from Night as he got closer, soon he got cornered. “W-w-w-what do you want sir,”
“N-N-Night are you ok?” Shining asked as he felt more terror fill every inch of his small body.
“Tell me do you ‘like’ me as the new ruler?” Night asked Armored. Armored knew that Night wasn’t the best at telling a lie from the truth.
“Why yes, I like you as the ruler,” Armored said standing up. Armored knew he just told a flat out lie, but he just didn’t like Night.
Night stood there for a minute taking a good long look at Armored, the next thing Armored knew he was against the wall in Night’s magical grasp. Armored tried to escape. but it didn’t work.
“Now why are you going to tell me a lie?” Night asked. Shining was still in the room, he looked more shocked than Armored.
‘I need to go get Discord,’ Shining thought and then ran for the new king. When Shining found Discord he was fixing to head for the kitchen.
“Discord! N-N-N-Night, he” He was stopped, Discord looked at him with a confused look on his face.
“What?” Discord asked as he grabbed some cola out of the cabinet.
“Just come look, they’re in the dining room,” Shining said. Discord teleported them to the room and when they got there Night was just fixing to let Armored go.
“Night, what are you doing?” Discord asked grabbing Night in a magical bond. Armored dropped to the ground and ran over to Shining.
“Doing a test, you see I was reading this book about how to read body signs to see if somepony is telling the truth or not, so I tried it on Armored,” Night said with a smile on his face. “Sorry Armored!”
“Shining, this is what you were frighten of?” Discord asked as he let Night go. “Night, will talk more about this tomorrow,”
“K, see you later,” Night said as he teleported into his room and laid down in his bed going asleep.
“Let me guess you lied to Night about something,” Discord asked the two guards.
“Yea, please don’t kill me!” Armored yelled.
“Now why would I do that, you’re helping my son,” Discord said before teleporting to his room.
“I gonna have to talk to you,” Shining said to Armored before leaving.
