Gabriel looked up at the Titan, a few hundred yards in front of him. He did a quick inspection of it as the behemoth was heading towards him, with the ice being crushed as it was dragging itself forward. Gabriel sprinted up to it, a plan formulated in his head.
He was now a couple of hundred feet from it now. The Titan got ready to turn Gabriel into a sticky red pile of gore on the ice. It brought it's arm back, and formed its hand into a fist. Gabriel dodged out of the way as it brought it's fist crashing into the ice; the attack was stronger than the others before it, as the giant was struggling to get its arm free from the solid water.
Using this to his advantage, Gabriel sprung his Combat Cross into action; he activated the mechanism as the chain flew out of the weapon, the hook at the end of the chain latched onto the Titan's arm like a leech to skin. Gabriel proceeded to climb the arm of the construct. The frozen water on the giant was numbing Gabriel's hands with the cold as he was ascending up its limb.
Gabriel nearly lost his grip several times as he was climbing around the appendage, due to the Titan trying to shake him off as its arm was still stuck in the ice. Gabriel stopped as he laid his eyes on a peculiar magical essence carved into the limb, it was circular, and had a purplish hue with a faded blue mist around it, with strange symbols within. Which he recognized instantly; he was facing off one the last few remaining Titans of the Old World. They once protected the now ravaged and ancient city of Agatha. The Titans were either destroyed or corrupted.
Gabriel proceeded to stab at the glass rune with a silver dagger. The titan tried to shake him off more violently. Gabriel held on to the edge of the rune for dear life, refusing to let go as he repeatedly stabbed at the glass rune; trying to destroy it.
*CRACK....*BOOM!*
The rune exploded, turning into hundreds of pieces of shattered glass as blue mist poured out of the once magical rune. Gabriel winced in pain as shards of glass were embedded into his skin, making him bleed.
The pain in the Titan's arm was agonizing, it was so much that the force it pulled back at was enough to get its arm free from the ice.
The Titan brought its arm up, now looking at Gabriel with fire in its emotionless, unmoving eyes, and used its right arm to try and knock Gabriel off.
Gabriel was faster, as he dodged to the right when the Titan brought its hand down, hard, on it's left arm. Gabriel used this split-second chance, to climb onto it's right hand.
--------------
The equines were terrified, confused and angry. They were angry that the were brought here against their will. One minute they were proceeding with their day to day tasks, and the next they were whisked away to Celestia knows where, on a frozen lake with needle like winds stinging every inch of their faces, and nearly got killed by a stone giant in the process. Someday this turned out to be. They were grateful that... whatever that thing was, saved them. Now that 'thing' was fighting off the behemoth alone. It was obvious that it was concerned for them. But why was it?
"Should we help it?" asked Applejack, worry and concern evident in her voice.
"We s-should help it, I'm not the Element of L-loyalty for n-nothing!" Rainbow Dash replied, trying to sound brave, but reduced to stuttering fearfully as the size of the giant was intimidating enough as it was.
"We'll see if we can help it, but right now it looks like its handling itself fi-" Luna was cut off as the Titan brought its hand to its head, and sent their savior falling down. Fast.
As soon as Dash saw this she proceeded to fly as fast as she could towards the falling creature.
"I got ya!" Rainbow said just as she grabbed it under the arms with her fore-legs.
It was heavy, but light enough to be carried.
---------------
Gabriel's mind went blank for a second after he heard the flying horse that saved him from impeding death, talk. He quickly crossed the thought, as he heard and saw stranger things in his lifetime.
The cyan pegasus glided down to frozen lake and laid Gabriel down on the ice. He sat up, and looked at the cyan pony.
"Are you okay?" it asked with concern, the voice was raspy, with some other accent Gabriel couldn't place.
"Ye-" Gabriel was about to reply, but was quickly silenced as a large shadow loomed over them.
He looked up and saw the Titan's hand, prepared to squash them like bugs, Gabriel and the pegasus backed away quickly, but they weren't fast enough as the giant's hand was meters away.
----------------
Applejack and Princess Luna could only watch in horror as the giant was about to crush Rainbow and their savior. Suddenly, another one of those ape-like creatures sprinted up from behind them, and took out, what looked like a sword to them, and stabbed the titan's hand whilst hanging onto hilt of sword. The titan brought its hand up to see what was lodged in it's stone limb.
----------------
The man let go of the blade and jumped onto the shoulder of the behemoth when its arm went past it. He ran up to the rune on the side of its head. Gabriel noticed immediately that it was a brotherhood knight.
"Give me the dagger! Quickly!" The mystery figure roared so they could hear him through the unrelenting winds
"Can we trust him? The sky blue pegasus asked Gabriel with suspicion.
"I hope so...." Gabriel trailed off as he proceeded to take out the silver dagger from his belt. He then threw the dagger into the man's general direction. The dagger flew in the air at high speeds until the man grabbed it by the hilt with extreme precision.
With one strong forceful stab, the rune on the side of the titan's head was now broken and shattered. Blue mist started to pour out of cracks on the stone construct, like gas leaking from a pipe. The titan began stumbling forward still determined to destroy these pests, but it was too weak, and the pain it was suffering was too much.
The man now jumped off the titan, and landed skillfully in front of the cyan creature and Gabriel. He turned around to look at the titan, as its death was inevitable. The titan landed on the ice with a thud, and let out a few dying groans before it went to sleep for eternity.
