//------------------------------// // The Trap Is Set // Story: Vandheer Lorde // by TheStoryteller3679 //------------------------------// I stood on the edge of a cliff, pondering when to set the trap. I have what I need to conquer this pathetic realm, all I have to do Issue command. I teleported to the gates of Canterlot castle. A guard noticed me, but was soon decapitated by my scythe, the noise of steel on bone attracted more unwanted attention, no matter I already ha d what I came for, The one element of harmony. I made quick work with the rest of the gaurds, I could tell none of them trained for a threat such as me. Celestia summoned twilight to look at what happend. When Twilight entered the room, she was cringing at what she saw. All the gaurds were either decapitated or severely injured, she never saw something this brutal in her life. But soon noticed shining armor pinned by a spear to a wall, she cried looking at her brother. "T-t-twilight, we were a-attacked he was to strong and to fast" "Don't worry I'll get help!" Shining armor remained silent, he was dead. The rest of the mane 6 arrived and saw the horrors. Above shining armors head, was wrote in his own blood 'I will take this realm, even if I have to kill worthless ponies!' Twilight gasped at the name at the end, Vandheer Lorde. she read about him once or twice, he was a lethal killer, he showed no mercy, filly or colt Later that day, Vandheeerror lorde appeared in front of Twilight. "Vandheer!" It's nice to see, Twilight, oh yes I know all about you, even your brother told me about you, before he died his dishonorable death." "Enough Vandheer, and face me!" I could tell she wanted revenge for what I did, but I was not going to let her win THAT easy. She blasted a magic sphere at me, angrily. I Just stood there,waitimg. she shot me a look of confusion. That's when I made my move. I teleported behind her and gave her a good uppercut. she flew high in the air from the force, but she flied towards me, with hatred in her eyes, this is what I wanted. I said to Twilight "You hate me, that's good, hatred leads to corruption" She was silent in the comment, and I let her win, by blasting me into a mountain. Afterwards I went back to my Hideout. Twilight knew i was right and she decided to meet with her Friends. "I don't like this feller' one bit" "Me too applejack" Replied rainbow dash, who was hovering in the air. "We know he his evil now, we have to do something about it" replied Spike The mane 6 came to a agreement, they would find Vandheer together. The next morning, I was running towards Twilight s little castle, and found them. "Vandheer, what're you doing here!?" I chuckled at the fact that she thought she'd be questioning me. "I came her for Whats most precious to you, Friendship!" I charged at them with my scythe, but they all avoided it, I Swung at Twilight, who reacted by shooting a Bolt at me, which bounced of my armour, I did a upwards motion at fluttershy, who was flying in mid air. She screamed as I barely touched her, but here mane, was cut short. Rainbow dash came recklessly at me and I caught her, I choked her, and threw her against a nearby statue. The fight lasted for some time they didn't show any signs of giving up and neither did I. Finally I won, Fluttershy was bleeding badly, rainbow dashes ear had been cut off, Applejack's hind leg was severed and Twilight and rarity and pinkie pie had gashes all over them. It was a sight for sore eyes to see so many beings In pain and despair, including these ones. I walked over to Twilight and I picked her up and carried her to the castle courtyard, I layer her down carefully into a make shfit bed I made with no blankets, I left a note beside the bed and a box of tissues for crying, she was going to need it. Twilight woke up some time later about 4 hours after the fight, and read the note, she cried at what it said. "Dear Twiligh, I hope your reading this because this'all be the last time you hear your friends names, I have given them a Fate far worse than yours, may they perish in peace, hahahahah!" Twilight did go after Vandheer, with the help of Footsoldiers, attacked Vandheers hideout, Vandheer reacted. Vandheer was sitting down on the grass far away from his hideout, he already had the five, he just needed the sixth. He waited, thinking about what her face would look like, when he killed her friends like the animals they are. Twilight finally arrived and yelled at Vandheer,. "Where are my friend's!" "They are Injured, hurt and unable to move" he sad with a slight chuckle "What's so funny!?" She boomed at me. Vandheer got up and showed Twilight he friends, who were trapped in msytical cages. "You must leave one of your friends here with me, if you don't I'll kill you all!" Twilight was racing on who to chose to be let behind. It was Applejack, she was strong, she could make it through whatever Vandheer would throw her way. "I-i chose appkejack to stay behind." "Good choice" Vandheer grew a smile on his face He released everypony except Applejack. As Twilight left she thought again if that was the right choice. She couldn't change that now, she sighed. They returned to celestia and told her what had happened, celestia was no doubt wishing she could destroy Vandheer for what pain he caused for Twilight. That night Vandheer did unspeakable things to Applejack, and left her unconsious and had a named written into her front left leg with a knife. "Weakling" thats what she was, according to Vandheer.
