//------------------------------// // The day a good pony goes to war. // Story: War of Origins. // by MegaMonsterPony //------------------------------// "So the whole town has our backs? That's just great!" Firefall shouted with laughter, probably at how easily everyone just agreed to some stranger with a loud voice shouting about supposedly finding the origins. "You have proven your loyalty to us, so we will show you how to get your soul bound weapon. The ones like ours* his transparent sword appeared, clutched in his right hand. I nodded very excitedly, I loved how those weapons looked, although I didn't know if It would deal very much damage. "Just imagine raw power, hold your hand out as if holding a weapon, the color and type of weapon will come naturally, just focus on power. Raw power!" Gary spoke as I closed my eyes, I don't know why it just felt right, and followed his instructions. I felt power draining from my core, flowing down my arm and into my palm, as the energy began to stop I opened my eyes. A black smoky transparent double sided battle Axe, it had the weight of a light sword, and was very comfortable to hold. "So I can call upon this weapon whenever I please?" I asked swinging the weapon around lamely, just toying with the weapon. As I played with it it disintegrated into a black powder and was absorbed by the floor. "Yes, and apparently that is a good thing!" Firefall joked with me as he began to shrug on his armor. Gary and I both began to do the same, it was the day a good pony went to war. Firefall and Gary stood at the top of the hill, overlooking a large field between the kingdom and us. Gary had a large very powerful megaphone in his hand although I doubt he would need it, given how powerful his voice was. The army, including myself hid behind the hill, firefall nodded to me before Gary spoke. "Princess cadence it is I! I still love you after all those years!" Gary boomed, I was right he really didn't need that megaphone, we waited behind the hill as the plan was set into action. Cadence and a few guards sped through the sky and landed in front of gary. There was a big smile on her face as she leaned in to kiss him, he leaned in too, but then she screamed, red liquid flowed out of the hole in her chest. Garys golden sword turned to a fine dust as the guards put their knives to Gary and firefalls throat. "Charge!" I screamed launching into the air above the feild, the guards were caught off guard, which was ironic. Nearly every citizen in ponyville was charging at them, swords and guns, the two guards were swallowed by the mass of ponies, most likely stabbed more than once. I dove into the crowd my soul bound weapon materializing in my right hand, my short sword in my left. I allowed myself to fall into the midst of the fight, bringing my soul bound battle Axe down through the head of a heavily armored pony. I allowed the Axe to disintegrate as I plunged my sword into another's exposed eye. One guard grabbed my left arm and tossed it over his shoulder, a grin on his face from disarming me. My other weapon materialized and I swung it lowly, cutting through his soft knees and sending him straight to the ground. A loud screech caused everyone who was in the midst of a fight to pause and and look towards where the sound came from. The fourth origin, icywind , Burst through the ground, sending dirt and stone spraying in all directions, clanking loudly against helmets. "Brothers! I do not know how you escaped your prison, but you won't be able to escape this time! For i will kill you!" Icywinds voice boomed across the field, this statement made Gary and firefall burst into guttural laughter. Icywind launched across the field, directly towards Gary and firefall, I launched off the ground and smashed into him causing him to fall towards the ground crushing a few soldiers. I fell from the sky my battle Axe materializing in my hands, with the force of my fall I slammed the Axe through his chest. Time seemed to slow around us as he threw me forty feet into the air. He launched up at me, blood spilling out of the wound on his side, with all the strength I could muster I hurled the Axe at him. It spun multiple times in the air before embedding itself between his eyes, beginning to disintegrate as soon as it struck. A burst of cold wind and snow exploded across the field lightly dusting everything with snow. The slight snow began to melt as soon as the cold wind had passed by. Everyone in the field stared at me as I hovered above the field. "Well what are you waiting for? Attack!" I shouted at the fighters who just stood staring in awe at me. The fighting exploded and lasted four more hours resulting in the capture of the two surviving princesses, and Gary, firefall and I taking control of the castle. Our objective was finally completed.
