Rise of the Creators

by Paradox Theory

Jane's Destruction

"What's going on here?!" I yelled as my army ran in several directions.

"One Creator was bad enough," Principatum said, "But my people sense over a hundred living inside the void."

I looked toward Rose, who now sat next to Twilight.

"You mean to tell me that my brother saved the Creators?" I ask in disbelief.

"Only to kill you of course." Principatum answered, "He has lost faith in you of course."

I turn towards Canterlot. "No more waiting." I said, "If you won't help me, I will destroy Canterlot myself."

And with that, I ran.

3000.

3000 years exactly.

Now, my kind are returning, and I face a Destroyer.

Luna stood at my side, looking over the city.

"Did you get them out?" I asked Luna as my sun finally lowered.

"Yes, they have been evacuated. All of our subjects now head for Manehatten. To flee across the ocean." My sister answered as she raised the moon.

I nodded in approval. "Head to Ponyville, free the prisoners there. I'll deal with Jane."

"But sister, she has already captured Twilight and Rose. You can't hope to beat her." Luna reminded me.

I gave her a smile, "Luna, I'm not hoping to beat her." I look out to Ponyville, "I'm trying to stall her."

"For what?" Luna asked incredulously.

Another smile touched my lips, "Not what. Who."

I looked back at Luna who now had a smile of her own. "Then I'll take my leave." She said.

I then found myself alone again. I watched as a black cloud flew towards my castle.

Jane is here. Now, I only hope he makes it in time.

I began my ascent up the mountain. The city in front of me.

Then I felt it.

Creator magic. It swelled up and hit me head on.

Growling, I lashed out with my own darker magic. I hit my target dead on.

The great white Alicorn flashed into existence. Grinning I shot black lightning at her.

Celestia countered with a golden shield, then shot her own lightning back.

We went back and forth like that for a few minutes. Angry, I reached towards her wings with my power.

Ground an Alicorn, kill an Alicorn.

We headed straight for each other, each trying to break through the others defenses.

Suddenly, I stopped.

And so did Celestia.

"Release me!" Celestia shouted, trying to move.

"It's not me." I replied, trying overpower whatever was restraining me.

Suddenly, I noticed an arm pointed at me. Then a second arm appeared. Then a chest. Finally a face appeared, a face I had been waiting to see for a long time.

"Well hello, what do we have here?" Asked my twin brother, Jason.

I felt my heart jump. "Jason?" I asked aloud.

"Right you are, though I'm planning on changing my name." Jason said, turning towards me, "And you are brilliant."

He then turned toward Jane. "A little birdy said that you had an army. Well, I'm not alone. Not this time. Never again." He held up his left hand, "This is a beacon Jane, I'm calling not one, not two, not three Creators. There is in fact 100 survivors. An army of Creators."

He snapped his fingers and suddenly I found myself sitting in the palace of the two pony sisters.

"Celestia!" Twilight shouted, "Jason!"

I ran forward and hugged my old student.

"Twi," Jason said, "Let me look at your wings." Hesitantly, she spread her wings as much as she could.

Jason touched each wing once, and to everyone's amazement, they worked like nothing had ever happened.

"Now," Said Jason, "If I could have everyone's attention."

Everypony that was here looked towards Jason who jumped onto a broken pedestal.

"In exactly twelve hours the one hundred Creators are going to appear in Ponyville. I will try to reason with Jane first, then I will do what I have to." He explained, tears forming in his eyes.

"I have something else to say, ever since I made the Void three thousand years ago, Jason has been dead. I now am, and will be forever, Paradox." He admitted, getting scattered gasps.

"So what do we do? How do we fight them?" Applejack asked him.

"Simple, you don't. You must all stay here. Celestia, Luna, Twilight and Rose. You four are Creators. You must accompany me to Ponyville. It's time we end this." Paradox explained.

"We're ready, my lord." I said, bowing my head. Slowly, everyone present followed my example and bowed with me.

"Then we go to Ponyvile." Paradox whispered.

I would look at what happened here with regret.

Here I was, King of the Creators, my sister Jane standing in front of me.

"Jane." I called out, "If you do not stand down, you and your army will die."

Jane only smirked as she said. "Then do it. Kill me. I will never submit."

Before I could react, she shot out her black lightning, hitting me square in the heart.

Shaking off the pain I ran forward, bending Time itself around me.

Now Jane was on her knees, my thumb pressed against her forehead. Pushing magic through it, I entered my sisters mind. From there I removed her half of Odin's magic. Now all that was left was her memories.

One by one I erased them. Our fifth birthday. The first day of school. Anything and everything with me was erased or changed.
I finally made it to the last memory of me before I had disappeared.

"So," I said, grinning from ear to ear, "Prom Queen?"

Jane blushed, "It's no big deal."

I shook my head, "But it is. School is almost over. We may go our separate ways after this. But I want there to be no friction between us."

She looked up at me, "So you won't be mad if I decline?"

"As long as there are no more secrets." I answered.

Jane hugged me, "I promise."

Sighing, I finished erasing her mind, making it look like I was never there.

I looked up to see that both Jane's army and the Creators army had dropped to their knees.

I felt a sharp jab of pain as energy flowed from my chest. I was dying.

But no I had all of Odin's magic with me. Knowing what must happen now, I reconstructed my body. Choosing a form I had once, 3000 years ago.

Jason Wright was now gone physically and mentally.

I am Paradox. Alicorn of life.

I will protect it for the rest of eternity.
