Guardian of Equestria - Rise of the Blue Sun

by BlueSun52

Chapter 14

It was four days before the Grand Galloping Gala and Hawke, Spike, and the mane six were getting ready for it. Except there was one problem.

"LOOK OUT!"

A giant dog-like creature was running across Ponyville's streets and it was dragging Hawke along by his leg in its mouth. The creature was going through the houses and buildings of Ponyville and was causing massive damage to the town. Hawke was trying to get free from the creatures mouth, but the creature had a good hold on him and it was hard for him to cast his magic with him being dragged across the ground and bumping his head rocks that were on the ground weren't helping either.

As Hawke was being dragged, he looked up and saw Rainbow Dash carrying Applejack by her arms.

"Alright Dash, get me close enough to thet varmint!" Applejack said to Rainbow Dash.

"You got it A.J," Rainbow Dash replied with a smirked smile.

Dash was close enough to the ground and dropped Applejack there. When Applejack landed, she quickly got out her lasso, twirled it around, and threw it at the creature. The end of the rope caught the creature leg and Applejack pulled on it hoping that it would stop it. But unfortunately, the creature instead pulled Applejack on to the ground and she was being dragged on the ground too while she was holding on to her rope. Rainbow Dash saw what was happening and quickly went to help the two. Dash went in front of the creature's face and was sticking her tongue at it.

"Hey there mutt, bet you can't catch me!" Dash said mocking it.

The creature let out a growl and soon let go of Hawke and started to chase Dash around snapping its jaws at her. Hawke quickly got up stretching his back for a moment and saw the creature chasing Rainbow Dash around and Applejack being dragged along. He used his levitation spell to get the rope off the creature, so Applejack wouldn't be dragged anymore. When Applejack stopped being dragged around and let out a sigh of relieve. Hawke then levitated Applejack's lasso and use his teleportation to appear on top of the creature. He quickly spun the lasso around and wrapped it around the creature's muzzle and pulled on it. The creature was struggling and tried to fight back, but it was defenseless against Hawke and there was noway for it to fight back. Dash saw an opportunity to take out the creature and went for it at top speed. She soon used an uppercut punch on the it and it soon fell on its back with Hawke on it. The creature was knocked out and Hawke was trapped under it.

Hawke was letting out a grunt sound and said, "Somepony, please get this thing off me."

Dash helped Applejack get on her hooves and they both soon started pushing the creature off of Hawke. Applejack lent her hand towards Hawke and asked, "Are ya okay, partner?"

Hawke looked up at Applejack and replied, "Yeah, I'm alright A.J." He grabbed on to Applejack's hand and she pulled him up on his feet. "I've been through worst then that."

"I bet."

"Did you guys see me do that? I was like so awesome when I punched that dog," Dash said praising her own work.

"Yeah, yeah we saw that," Hawke said rolling his eyes around. "What I can't believe is that Pinkie was right about there being a monster that would come attacking the town today."

"That's Pinkie for you. She makes the impossible even more impossible," Dash commented.

"Yeah, that's true. So I guess Applejack and I need to get back to the farm right?" Hawke asked looking over to Applejack.

"Usually we would, but remember thet Rarity wanted us ta come by her boutique today so she can get us all ready for th' Gala tonight," Applejack explained.

"Oh yeah, that right. Can't believe I forgot about that," Hawke said.

"Well we better get going then. We don't want Rarity to throw a fit for being late," Rainbow Dash pointed out.

The trio then made their way towards Rarity's boutique.

In the shadow lands,Tirek and his forces of darkness are preparing themselves for the coming of the prophecy. His army was increasing with nothing more then murderers, thieves, traitors, mercenaries, and assassins. Including the monsters and abomination that were made from ponies who willing transformed themselves to serve their dark master. Tirek was outfitting himself with heavy plated armor and was wielding his powerful two-handed axe.

Coming by Tirek's side was Monnark and he spoke to his master. "My lord, everything is proceeding as scheduled."

"Excellent. Soon when the red moon rises, I will rule this world and the blue sun warrior will be crushed under my hooves," Tirek said with much anticipating. "Are you and your agents ready for their assignments?"

"Yes, my lord. We are prepared and our newest recruit is ready to do his job," Monnark replied.

Tirek and Monnark then turned their attention to a figure who was leaning against the walls in the shadows.

"Are you prepared for this, young Vulture?" Tirek asked knowing the figure's response would be.

"I'am and thanks again for saving my skin and giving me a better name then my last one. Don't know what came over me about that." The figure then came out of the shadows and revealed himself to be the evil clone of Hawke that was formally known as Spellfury. "That no good wimp is going to pay for what he did to me last time."

Tirek let out a small laugh. "Don't worry about it, Vulture. You will have your revenge soon enough and as I promise, you will have all of his mare friends to yourself."

Valture let out a wicked laugh and showed a smirked smile. "Oh the fun I'm going to have with them."

They all laughed evilly and waited patiently for what is to come next.

After four days had passed, it was early in the morning and everypony and Hawke were at Rarity's boutique getting ready for the gala. The girls were in the mares only room, while Hawke and Spike waiting for them outside of the room.

Spike gave out an annoyed groan and said, "What's taking them so long? We've been here for hours!"

Hawke furrowed his eyebrow and replied, "Spike, it's been fifteen minutes."

"Well yeah, but we got done checking our suits out only in a few minutes. It shouldn't take them that long," Spike explained.

"*Sigh* Spike you should learn by now is that girls....well I mean mares, like to take time with their dresses and they like to make guys....I mean colts.....or dragons, like us, to wait for a while.........a very long while. Besides, we can leave you know."

"What? And miss the chance to see Rarity in all her beauty? I think not, I'll stay here no matter what," Spike replied.

"You are one, sad, little dragon, you know that right?"

"Hey! I like Rarity a lot, okay? And besides, aren't you curious about what Twilight would look like?"

Hawke ponder on it and thought what Twilight would look like in a dress. He never did see her as the 'dressing up always' kind of girl, but more like wearing all kinds of magicians robes and sometimes wearing different librarians outfits. Now that he was thinking about it, he imagined her in a tight, white shirt that revealed her cleavage a bit, wearing a short, purple skirt with her cutie mark on the side, having on long and black socks, and holding to a ruler while she was wearing glasses. He would imagine her walking up to him and saying, "You've been late with your studies, Mr.Gregory. I would have to..."

"HAWKE!"

"WAH!" Hawke panicked and stumbled on to the ground. He looked up to Spike and asked,"WHAT?"

"I was just asking if you were curious about what Twilight would look like and you just spaced out," Spike explained.

"Oh, Eh, I was deep in thought. Anyways, yes you make a good point."

"........What excatly were you thinking about?" Spike asked out of curiosity.

"Eeehhhh"

In the dressing room, the girls were getting all their manes brushed, picking out there dresses, and applying some make up as well.

Dash let out a sigh and asked, "Why do we have to do this so early, can't we just wait until this afternoon?"

"Dash dear, these things take time and we’re going to need it to look absolutely fabulous for tonight," Rarity answered.

"I hope everything does go well tonight and hope that nopony recognize us from last year as well," Applejack said.

"Oh! I really hope so; I don’t want to be stared at all night long. Just thinking about it is making me nervous," Fluttershy said beginning to curl up into a ball.

"I wouldn't worry about it deary. We did just get there and left before anypony could get a good at us. And Besides that, we're going to make ourselves look different and look even more fabulous then last year," Rarity said to clam Fluttershy down.

"I don’t know about that, but we did learned our lesson from last year and this time we’re going to just stay in pairs to watch each other’s back so nothing bad happens again," Twilight pointed out.

"I know what you mean, last year I was the only one who wanted to party, but the other ponies wouldn’t and I was alone, but now I’ll have someone with me to partaaaaaaaaaay," Pinkie said with excitment.

"I know, I can’t wait for tonight," Twilight said with a smile.

"Is it because there's a certain hero, that’s going to be your partner tonight? Applejack said and gave Twilight a wink.

Twilight blushed and replied, "Ummm...well...yes, it'll be Hawke's first time in Canterlot and since I've use to live there, I thought I would be more suited to show him around."

"Sure that's the only reason why you're his partner," Dash said. "And I bet you're not going to take him somewhere around the castle alone in, Oh I don't know, the gardens were you can have him all to yourself." Dash elbowed Twilight a couple of times.

"WHAT! NO! That's...not what I was planning at all," Twilight quickly said. 'How did she know what I was planning? *Sigh* Good thing I have a backu-.'

"Or that you can take him up to one of the tallest towers in the castle where hardly anypony would go to."

'OH COME ON!'

"Or leave the castle early and go to a fancy restaurant."

'SHUT UP!'

"And....um.........maybe sneak into the janitor's closet?"

'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!'

"Why would they sneak into the janitor's closet?" Applejack asked with a furrowed expression. "That isn't exactly the most romantic thing ever."

'A.J. has a point there. Why would I even think of that? Wait, I think I can ask the Pirncess to-'

"Um...well, then what about asking Princess Celestia to use her private garden?" Fluttershy spoke up. "I mean, Twilight is Celestia's student and I'm sure that she wouldn't mind it."

'NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ARE ALL MY PLANS THAT PREDICTABLE?'

It was finally nighttime and everypony and Hawke were being escorted by the royal guards that Celestia had sent to bring them to the gala. The girls were in one carriage, while Spike and Hawke were in another. After sometime had passed, they finally made it and they soon were leaving their carriages. When Spike and Hawke got out of their carriage, they looked over to see where the girls were and their jaws soon fell when they saw them. The girls were in very different and wonderful designs that matched each of their personality.

Pinkie's dress was pink with blue stripes while the it had candy shaped designs on it. Dash's dress had multiple colors on it that represented her mane and wore a necklaces that had the shape of a lightning. Fluttershy's dress represented her fondness for nature and it was colored in lime. Applejack wore a cowgirl style dress that had the colors of both brown and green, while she was wearing a apple shaped necklace. Rarity's dress was a light red color with a small violet cape. Twilight's dress was a azure color that had white shaded stars on the bottom of it and she wore a small four-pointed crystal star that looked just like Hawke's mark.

Spike was admiring Rarity's dress the most, as well as Rarity herself. Hawke however was looking at Twilight's dress and was amazed at how good she looked. At that very instance he could have sworn that he stopped beating. He would have died a very happy death, but he really wanted to spend this night with Twilight........alive as possible.

Twilight was looking back at Hawke and she couldn't believe what she was looking at. He was absolutely handsome in her eyes. Hawke was wearing a white tuxedo with his symbol on the left shoulder and the gauntlets that Princess Luna gave to him matched well with his suit. What was more shocking to her was his hair was combed. She would have problems getting him to comb his hair and he would always reply with 'Nah, I don't think it's that bad.' or with 'Sorry, but this is all natural and I don't want to get in trouble with nature.' and one time he said, 'SERIOUSLY? YOUR COMPLAINING ABOUT MY HAIR WHILE WE'RE FIGHTING A MONSTER?!?'......Twilight always wondered why she brought it up during that fight.

Twilight then went up to Hawke and said, "I see you like my dress."

"Yes, I like it very much. It looks good on you," Hawke replied. 'Oh god, she looks so incredibly hot in that.'

"I'm glad you like it. I like the way your looking," Twilight commented. 'Oh Celestia, he looks so amazing in that suit.'

They both stared at each other intensively for a long while, until Dash rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers in front of the two to get their attention. "So, are we going to go or do we have to wait here for you two until you both stop ogling each other?" she asked.

Twilight blushed and turned away from Hawke, while he tried to hide away his blushing face.

"Come on now everypony, we better get going if we don't want to miss anything," Rarity said and started making her way.

Spike closely followed Rarity and the others were soon behind her. Hawke looked over at the embarrassed Twilight and asked, "Ready to go, my lady?" He then offered up his arm.

Twilight looked at him with a warm smile and replied, "Very much, good sir." She grabbed onto his arm and they started making their way.

Everyone got to the main entrance of the castle and entered. Hawke couldn’t believe what his was seeing, it was truly magnificent, the decorations were flawless, it had a beautiful garden out of the windows, and the halls were filled with dozens of noble ponies. They were walking around the many hallways of the castle and on their way they soon came upon on some stairs. Up on the top level of the stairs were Princess Celestia and Princess Luna greeting many of the guests and nobles.

The Princesses saw them and walked over to the party. Celestia walked up to Twilight and Hawke with smile on her face. "Hello my little ponies, it is good to see you all"

"Yes, tis good to see all of you again," Luna said with a smile. "I'm glad to see that your wearing the gift that I gave you."

"Yes I am, your majesty. Thanks again for giving me these gauntlets," Hawke said.

"Of course, Sir Hawke. If you ever need anything from me or my sister, we well be able to help out," Luna said.

"Well then I hope you all have fun soon. We’ll meet again later tonight after me and my sister attend to the guests and prepare everything for the announcement," Celestia said.

"As you wish, your majesty," Twilight replied with a bow. Everyone else then bowed to the princesses and continued making their way.

The group continued to walk until they entered into the ball room and saw that it was packed with mares and colts. Everywhere they looked; it was nothing but nobles, royalties, and politicians.

Applejack spoke up and said, "Well Ah'll be, this place is a lot more crowed then last year."

"I know, there's so many here. It's making me nervous," Fluttershy said nervously.

"Aw, don't worry about it Fluttershy. More ponies means more fun!" Pinkie said.

"I'm more interested in seeing the Wonderbolts. I hope they remember me," Dash said looking around for the Wonderbolts.

"I'm sure that the Wonderbolts would be around here. In the meantime, I hope to see Mr. Fanctpants around here. He said that he would let me meet some of the best designers from Manehatten. *Squeel* I can't wait!" Rarity said with enthusiasm.

"Okay girls, I know your all excited and all, but remember we're all need to stay in groups of two, so we would make sure that nothing bad happens like last year and I don't want it to happen again. Now I know we have somethings to do here, but we need to remember that we're friends and we have to-" Twilight looked around for a moment and saw that all the girls and Spike were gone. "Hawke, where did they all go?"

"I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think Pinkie and Fluttershy went over to where the desserts are, Rarity went to find Mr. Fancypants......if that's really his name and Spike followed her, and Dash went to find the Wonderbolts, while Applejack followed her to make sure she doesn't cause any trouble......also A.J. went along to meet with the Wonderbolts' supplier so she could sell her apples to them," Hawke explained.

"Why didn't they at least listen to the rest of what I had to say?" Twilight asked.

"Do you want the truth or the brutally honest truth?"

".......What's the difference?" Twilight asked furrowing her eyebrow.

"The truth is the truth with some slight modification from it and the brutally honest truth is the truth in complete detail," Hawke explained.

"......Okay, now I want to know. What is the brutally honest truth?"

"You talk too much."

"That's it?!"

"Pretty much, yeah."

Twilight groaned.

Hawke looked around and saw a dance floor where there were couples dancing and had an idea.

"Would you like to dance with me?" Hawke asked Twilight.

Twilight smiled and replied, "Yes, I would be honored."

Before they went to dance, a familiar voice shouted out to Twilight and when she looked to see where it was she saw her brother, Shining Armor and his wife, Princess Cadance , including her mother, Twilight Velvet and her father, Night Light. Twilight then pulled Hawke towards them and went to meet with them

Twilight let go of Hawke's arm and hugged her big brother. "Shining! I didn't know that you were coming gala."

"We got invited to the gala months ago. I thought about letting you know about it, but I didn't think you would care after what happened last year," Shining explained.

Twilight blushed. "Yeah, we decided to come anyway. Cadance, it so good to see you again," Twilight said and went to hug her favorite foalsitter.

Cadance returned the hug and said,"It's good to see too, Twilight."

"How's my brother been treating you?"

"*Sigh* He drives me crazy sometimes," Cadance said and looked over to Shining. "But I guess that's why I married him." She leaned over to him and kissed him on the lips.

Twilight giggled and said, "Well, that's good to hear."

After Velvet was done listening to her children, she looked over to the mysterious stallion...or whatever it was that was standing next to Twilight. She looked over to Twilight and asked, "Twilight, who is this handsome young colt here?"

"Oh right." Twilight pulled Hawke closer to them and replied, "Everypony, this is Hawke. He came to Ponyville a few months ago."

Night Light furrowed his eyebrow. "He looks a bit different from any other pony. Why is his ears like that? And how come his hooves don't look like....well hooves?"

"Well, that's because I'm a human. I'm not exactly from around here," Hawke answered.

"Aw yes that’s right; Princess Celestia did mention you one time. I’m Shining Armor, Captain of the Guards and this is my wife Princess Cadance, ruler of the Crystal Empire."

Hawke furrowed his eyes with interest. "The Crystal Empire? I didn't know there was another kingdom nearby."

"Well, it recently became part of Equestria and we were fighting monsters the whole time," Twilight replied. She paused for a moment, until a thought had occurred. "Wait, didn't I gave you a book about it?"

"Eeehhhh." Hawke looked up to the ceiling and thought about it.

Hawke was cleaning his house as usual. As he was cleaning, he saw a pile of books on his table. He looked at the cover and it said 'Tales of the Crystal Empire.' Hawke said himself, "Nah, maybe another time."

A couple of weeks had passed and Hawke was wanting to do something. He looked over his bookshelf and saw the book again. As he was about to grab it, his front door opened wide and Pinkie shouted, "I HAVE THE GREATEST IDEA EVER!"

"What is it?"

"Okay, but you're going to have to sit down for this one because it's long and it involves a lot of balloons!"

Hawke gave out a sigh and grabbed one of his chairs. "Okay Pinkie, let's hear it."

Hawke was getting his outfit together and was ready for another day of adventure. He walked over to his door and pause for a moment. He looked over to his table and saw the book with a sticky note that he wrote and it said 'Don't forget to read this.' He looked at it for a moment and said to himself, "Maybe I should read it, in case somet-"

*CRASH*

"WHAT THE-"

It was the same dog-like creature that attacked Hawke four days ago. It grabbed Hawke by the leg with its jaws and it dragged him away towards Ponyville.

"Hawke, are you okay?" Twilight asked Hawke.

"Huh?" Hawke came out of his daze and looked at Twilight. "What?"

"Hawke, you blanked out for a moment there what's wrong?"

"Oh nothing, just remembering.....stuff."

"Okaaay? So what happened to the book?"

"It's still at the house......what's left of it anyway."

"Wait, what happened to your house?" Velet asked with concern.

"It got destroyed by one of the monsters that's been attacking Ponyville," Hawke answered with a straight face.

"WHAT?!"

Before anyone else could say anything, trumpets were being blown and everypony looked to see both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna walking in. They continued to walk by the guest and went up to a nearby stage. Princess Celestia went up to a microphone and said, "Mares and gentlecolts, it is a honor for you all came here, I wanted to thank everypony for coming here tonight, but tonight is something to be remembered for this occasion, for today is but one week of the red moon to rise up."

Everypony started clapping their hands together at this news, but it was stopped when Celestia continued to say, "I fear though it’s not something to celebrate, for the signs of the prophecy of the blue warrior and the red tyrant are coming true."

Everypony were gasping at the news and they soon started whispering.

"Yes it is true, the final parts of the prophecy are coming, but we should not fear it, for the blue sun has made his appearance to us a few months ago. I can tell you right now, that he is a capable warrior and has lived up to the legends. He does not fear the coming darkness and that he is confident that he will win us the day and lead us into a new age of peace and happiness. I present to you….. Hawke, the Blue Sun, defender of Ponyville, and the new protector of Equestria."

Everypony started clapping with excitment. Hawke took that as his cue to walk up to stage. He walked up to the stage, waved at the crowed, and went to bow to Celestia. There were whispers of Hawke about how he looked different and such. Hawke walked up to the microphone.

Hawke cleared his throat and said, "Ponies of Equestria, I am honored to be here today; I would first like to say-"

Before he said anything else, a series of windows were being crashed through all over the room and heavily armed, hooded ponies started appearing out of nowhere and started scaring the crowds. The guards tried to stop them but were overwhelmed by the confusion and were knocked out one by one. Then a huge explosion came from the side of the building, when the smoked cleared a group of unicorns in dark robes came through.

Among them was no other than Monnark himself. "Oh please go on. I would like to hear the rest of your speech," he said.

"Monnark! What you doing here in Canterlot?" Celestia shouted.

"I thought I would stop by and see the fable hero that I heard some much about."

"I thought you had left these lands a long time ago."

"Sister, who is this Monnark?" Luna asked.

"He was once a royal scholar for me once, but he soon dabbled in dark magic and started sacrificing others to gain power. Before I could do anything, he left with many ponies who followed him and hadn't showed his face in years," Celestia answered.

"Until now," Monnark said. "so would you be so kind as to hand over the hero. We would just like a moment of his time."

"I think I'm fine right here if you don't mind," Hawke said.

Monnark then said, "Oh, but you will. You don’t want these good ponies to get hurt do you?"

Hawke looked around to see that many of the hooded assassins were holding some of the ponies hostages.

"And there is someone here who wanted to see you so badly," Monnark said.

"Who would-" Before Hawke could finished, he was shot in the back by a red energy that sent him towards the ground and smashed on top of a table. He was in intense pain and when he looked back to see who it was, his pupils shrunk when he saw who it was.

"Spellfury?!"

The former Spellfury laughed and said, "Not anymore, the name's Vulture now and I'm here to repay you for what happen last time."

"That's not....wait...you changed your name to Vulture?"

'Yes. Why would you ask?"

"Nothing, I just think that's a better name then Spellfury. And it makes sense, since my name is Hawke and yours is Vulture and they're both types of birds-"

"REALLY?! YOU'RE DOING THIS NOW?!?" Twilight shouted.

"Right sorry, where was I? Oh right, That's not going to happen, Vulture! 'I still think that's a cool name.' If you want to go another round then bring your A game," Hawke said. He got up and stood into a battle stance.

Vulture smiled. "Oh I am, but there's a catch. You can't resist, if you do these ponies die."

Hawke was shocked to hear this and looked back at the hostages. The assassins had their blades across the necks of the hostages. He quickly looked back at Vulture only to see a flash of energy hit him in the face and sending him flying back. Hawke soon found himself sliding across the floor and slammed against the deserts table. Hawke was feeling dazed, in pain, and covered in pastries. Vulture walked up to him, grabbed him by his collar, and raised him up in the air.

Vulture let out a laugh. "What's it like to be defenseless? I bet this is what it was like against all those you've killed."

Hawke was struggling to speak. "I don't kill anymore. Not now, not ever"

"That's what I'm counting on." Vulture said flinging Hawke across the room against a wall. He started walking slowly towards Hawke. "I'm surprised that you haven't been able to kill anything for a long time. I can't see why you would stop, especially with the part where you have the power to take a persons life away," he said. "It must kill you to hold back all that power, while all the ones you love get hurt." Hawke tried to get up, but Vulture soon kicked him in the stomach causing him to fall back down. Vulture knelt down next to him and whispered, "But I wonder, what would you do if someone started to hurt your precious, Twilight?"

Hawke froze up for a moment as he was looking at the ground. He started shacking as the thought someone hurting Twilight or worse would happen. He looked up towards Vulture and said, "If you ever touch her-"

"You'll do what? I know you better then you think. You wouldn't so easily throw away people lives just to save one girl. I thought about killing in so many ways, but I thought of something different. What if, now stay with me on this, what if I just hurt and kill all the ones you love just to make you feel miserable? And what if you were completely helpless to do anything about it? Now look at this scenario here, if you to stop me or any of my friends here, we kill the hostages. But if you do nothing, I get to hurt, kill, or maybe something more horrible to your friends and love ones and both know you wouldn't let me do that. So what's it going to be, hero?"

Hawke was speechless. For a long time he didn't know what to do. If he did anything, lives would be lost and it would be all his fault. He didn't want this, he didn't wanted it to be like this. Hawke was deep in thought, conflicted with what to do. Part of him wanted to stop Vulture and the assassins from hurting Twilight, Spike, their family, and the girls. But if he did that, all those innocent ponies would be killed in seconds. Another parted of him wanted to just pray to god and beg Vulture not hurt anyone or anypony, but he know his dark side well. Vulture would just enjoy the sound of him begging and pleading for him not to do anything while he was doing it. All hope seemed lost for him, a sick twist of fate, and the world was against....until a voice shouted out.

"ENOUGH OF THIS FOOLISH GAME!" Luna shouted out with rage.

Vulture looked back at her and said, "Stay back, pansy-ass princess or I'll-"

"YOU'LL DO NO SUCH THING! GUARDS, NOW!"

Then the hostages turned out to be guards under disguises and over powered their captives. It quickly turned into a battle that was waged in the room, blades crossing, magic spells being cast, and hand to hand combat. The Monnark’s men were highly trained assassins and warlocks, but the guards were ready and the Wonderbolts join in the fight as well. The mane six and Spike joined the fight as well and gave it everything they got. Spike was holding off some of them with his fire, Rarity used her magic and some fabrics to hold tie them down, Rainbow Dash swooped in and out on each disciple as fast as she could, Applejack used her rope to wrangle up some of the warlocks and assassins in, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were throwing cake at them and Fluttershy was saying sorry each time she threw one, Twilight used her magic to protect the nobles from the battle. Vulture was caught off guard from the battle and when looked back at Hawke, all he saw was a blue flash of energy in his face and was sent flying throw the air.

"How does it feel now?!" Hawke shouted his remark.

Vulture came crashing down on to the ground unconsciousness. Monnark saw that their first plan didn't work, so he brought plan two with him. He soon found himself facing off against Hawke. Hawke threw an energy ball at Monnark, but he used a force field to protect himself and drew out a sword. Monnark was swing towards Hawke with his blade, but Hawke dodged each one. Shining Armor threw a sword at Hawke and he grabbed it. Their blades then met with one another, Hawke wasn't good with swords, but used what he can to stop Monnark. They used both their blades and magic to gain the upper hand on one another. Hawke was able to grabbed one of Monnark’s hands. He used his electric power to use on Monnark and he was in searing pain. Monnark fell over to the ground and Hawke pinned him to the ground. The fight soon stopped with everypony looking over to where Monnark and Hawke were.

"Surrender now! It's over," Hawke said.

Monnark smiled. "Oh! But it's not over yet."

Hawke was confused and didn't understand what Monnark meant. He quickly grabbed a sharp crystal and got free from Hawke, and then he stabbed the crystal in to Hawke’s chest. Everypony was in horror of what they were seeing. The crystal was glowing and slowly turning blue; it was taking Hawke’s magic away from him. When it was done, Monnark took the crystal out of his chest and Hawke fell over and the hole in his chest quickly disappeared.

Monnark laugh with triumphantly. "Fools! Now you see how great our master is and how weak your hero is. We have the power of the blue sun, now nothing well stand in our way."

Monnark used smoke to quickly disappear and his disciples did the same as well and disappeared.

Hawke was in agonizing pain from where the crystal was. Twilight and the others quickly went over to him and tried to help him with his pain.

Celestia shouted out, "Quickly, we need doctors here NOW!"

Some of the guards saluted and quickly left to seek help.

Twilight saw leaned next Hawke and shouted, "HAWKE! PLEASE STAY WITH ME, YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY!

Despite Twilight’s words, he wasn’t getting any better. The pain was being too unbearable and he couldn't stop screaming. Then all of a sudden he started to lost his breath and stopped moving on the ground. He laid there motionlessly.

Twilight started tearing up and shouted, "NO! NO! PLEASE DON'T DIE, HAWKE! PLEASE DON'T DIE!"

End of Chapter 14
