My Little Pony: The Element of Distortion

Chapter 10: Third Attack

As Alteros vanished, Rainbow Dash folded her legs.
“Wow. What’s his problem?” she asked.
“Why is he mad at me? First Titannus and now Alteros. What the hay?” Twilight said.
“Alteros is upset at you because he is the Master of Distortion and Alterations. Basically, he is the Dimensional Gatekeeper, and with Sunset Shimmer first arriving here to take your crown, you followed which then he had to take action to prevent a collapse of the Space-Time Continuum. So yeah. He basically blames you for going into this alternative universe using his portals. Funny part about that is that he also blames Paguseus as well.”
“That part with Paguseus, I know. He told me.” Twilight sadly replied.
“Everything will be explained later. For now let’s try and focus on finding a way to defeat Titannus.” Cabaleron mentioned.
“Indeed.” The Archivist replied.
As the ponies planned out their strategic moves, riots continued to break out on the street, as ponies protested in front of the Mane Hall. As panic struck the city, horns sounded from the shore line as the storm continued to get worse. Twilight looked out at the sea and noticed waves were only getting bigger and much more dangerous. She called for the Archivist to view the outside, until suddenly the power not only in the lab, but throughout the city died out. As the city blacked out, ponies panicked in horror, trying to find shelter. Amplitude and Spectra ran to the power breakers, but failed to restore power.
“Nothing is responding. Back-ups are dead.” Amplitude said.
“Oh yup. Everything’s dead.” Spectra said.
“Could it be an Electro-Magnetic Pulse?” the Archivist asked.
“No, Titannus can’t summon power conversions. Xenxus is the only one.” Cabaleron responded.
“Can sound frequencies cause problems like this?” Twilight asked.
“Doubt it.” Bronze Compass replied.
Discord rubbed his chin, curiously.
“Perhaps Twilight is right. Some distorted frequencies could do something like this, but requires a lot of power. If I recall, when I was with Alteros, Titannus unleashed a supersonic wave that disabled power. He went as far as disabling my power, but he couldn’t unleash it on his surroundings. He would have to face something and roar towards it to disable its power.” Discord mentioned.
“I never thought of it that way. However, this seems different. He may have combined his storm spell with his supersonic waves to disable power.” Amplitude added.
“One reason why he hasn’t resurfaced in over a thousand years.” Cabaleron assumed.
“He was badly weakened after that attempt. But, I believe he knew he was going to get sentenced to life in Tartarus so why not pull one last trick. And that trick was…” Bronze Compass said.
“Spell Distortions.” Spectra said.
“Exactly. He created this storm as a way to weaken the coastline and getting his revenge…” Cabaleron spoke.
“He wants to wipe out the western cities?” Twilight whispered.
“Starting off with Las Pegasus.” The Archivist said.
Fully understanding what the problem was now, Twilight and the others planned out their strategic moves, until the building shook like an earthquake struck. The ocean tides made it into the city, flooding the streets and creating flash floods. Ponies down below hurried to nearby buildings, closing themselves in and avoiding the water. Rainbow Dash jumped to the ledge looking down.
“We gotta help them.” She said.
Amplitude flew out without a word.
“Let’s go!” he shouted.
Fluttershy followed as they assisted ponies to higher ground. The Archivist and Cabaleron looked out at the beach and noticed something rising out of the water. Bellowing out, they realized who it was.
“Titannus! Everypony head for cover! NOW!” Cabaleron shouted out of the window.
All the ponies below heard both him and Titannus, hurrying as fast as they could to higher grounds. As Titannus walked onto the beach, Twilight was surprised by his full appearance. He wasn’t like the Sirens. He had all four legs, and a tail fin. He was navy blue, with aqua colored streaks on his body. He had fins from the top of his head down to his dorsal fin and tail. He had wings of a Changeling, but more visible and amphibious. She took a while to study him, trying to identify his appearance to his brothers, Khaoios and Xenxus. She was curious, however on how they are considered alicorns. The Archivist noticed Twilight’s curiosity and looked out staring at Titannus.
“Like Xenxus, Titannus is an Alicorn-Hybrid. An alicorn with the combination of other animal features. In this case, Titannus has amphibious features, which is why he spends a lot of his time underwater. A Sea Monster you could say.” The Archivist said.
“I noticed.” Twilight exhaled.
“This world is full of extraordinary secrets, and most of them are in his environment.” Cabaleron added.
They watched as Titannus got closer and closer to the city and with the floods, he has a major advantage. Twilight called down for Rainbow Dash, Amplitude, and Fluttershy who were gathering the remaining ponies to higher ground. Successfully, gathering them up, Titannus dove under the flashing flood, cloaking himself like a crocodile. Quickly yelling to them, the three were surprised when Titannus resurfaced fast in front them. Petrified by fear, an object flung at Titannus face. Suddenly, from above a Pegasus stood with a regiment of Pegasus ponies.
“Hey, fish-face. What do you think you’re doing flooding my city and scaring these ponies.” The Pegasus said.
“As a light shone, Twilight and the others were surprised General StoneColt arrived just in time.
“General!” Rainbow Dash shouted excitedly.
“…And the Wonderbolts!” she continued.
Titannus looked up and snared at StoneColt.
“Who are you calling, fish-face. You wretch!” Titannus shouted.
“Wha-ho. Somepony is mad.” StoneColt smirked.
Titannus roared out, creating a powerful shockwave as it cracked and shatter windows. As he did, Bronze Compass noticed the electricity within the buildings began to flicker and the monitors were recording a massive frequency. Titannus was creating a sound so distorted and so loud, it caused the computers to burst into flames. As fire slowly spread, the ponies fled the lab and hurried to the roof. Down below, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Amplitude got away safely from the Bronco-Titan. As the sound died down, StoneColt charged with a regiment as they hit Titannus in the face, knocking him on his side and into the water.
