//------------------------------// // Armageddon part 2 // Story: The Last Human (Book 1) // by Lady Maria //------------------------------// Celestia darted through the halls of Canterlot castle running as fast as she could to the castle's sacred forge. She Also needed to find her brother and fast! As Celestia turned the corner in one of the halls she ran into Xavier. They both collided face first and were knocked on their asses. Xavier rubbed his head and growled, "Watch where you are going pony!" He shouted not knowing he had ran into his sister. "Xavier? Your awake! Good come with me we need to go somewhere now!" Princess Celestia said as she pulled on Xavier's arm with her magic. Xavier struggled a bit before escaping Celestia's grip, "Stop!" Xavier shouted as Tia turned around "What are you doing come on I need your help!" Celestia says sounding urgent. Xavier scoffed and looked down before walking up and hugging his sister. Celestia's eyes widened in surprise as her own brother was hugging her, "I'm sorry Tia. I'm a horrible person and I'm sorry I tormented you for three thousand years straight," Xavier says as Celestia chuckles and hugs back. "Its okay my brother I knew you couldn't help it the humans were controlling you. I forgive you Xavier do not worry," Celestia says as Xavier shook his head and separated the hug. "You may forgive me and so may everyone else but I don't forgive myself. So if Rathordius wants to end the world then He'll have to kill me first!" Xavier says as he tried to pass Celestia and head outside to fight. Celestia stopped Xavier and looked at him, "No I need you to come with me. The others are out there fighting and the elements are going to shut down the portals. Our duty is to reforge the bane of that bastard Rathordius," Celestia says as Xavier stared at her for a bit before narrowing his eyes and nodding. The two then ran off to the sacred forge to reform their ultimate weapon against Rathordius. Shining Armor, The main six, Cadence and Luna were down at the foot of the mountain fighting off and killing the endless waves of Abyssalite knights and demons. Luna gracefully swung her greatsword around while using her magic to annihilate her enemies. While the elements of harmony continuously blasted the demons and knights with their power taking a few hundred out per blast. As they all fought along side their soldiers Luna looked up to see a massive dragon fly out from the clouds and towards them. As the dragon flew towards them suddenly all of the Knights and demons stopped fighting and moved out of the way so it could land. The dragon was covered in black scales and armor, it had huge black wings that were big enough to block out the sun, his horns were curved and huge showing his dominance and he had four tentacles on both of his torso's sides. his knees and feet were covered in spike and armor that seemed impenetrable. His tail was long and big enough to act as another tentacle. The dragon had three eyes that indicated who this was. "RATHORDIUS!" Luna shouted causing Rathordius to chuckle "Oh so the whelp recognizes me when I'm in my true form! Mortals can learn!" Rathordius says sarcastically pissing Luna and the others off even further. "Enough of this surrender now or die!" Cadence commands making Rathordius chuckle more and break into mad demonic laughter. "Y-you kill me?! HA! Don't make me laugh more then I already have. You lack the one thing that can truly end me and I doubt you could ever figure it out fools!" Rathordius says as he heard someone land behind Luna and the others. It was Xavier but something was way off. His wings were whiter then the heavens and his armor was medieval and holy like a paladin's in his left hand he held the very sword that could end Rathordius's life, "Actually buddy we do" Xavier says looking up now transformed back into a pure blooded human. But as he lifted his face it was not his own but someone else who Rathordius had fallen to before. A few minutes before this event... Celestia had set the two blades down on the smithing table and drawn combination symbols around it preparing to forge the two weapons. Xavier was at her side confused as he looked at the swords, "What exactly are you doing?" Xavier asks as Celestia finished her preparations. "Im going to forge these two blades together. The blade made from these two is the only thing capable of in theory killing Rathordius" Celestia explains as she opened an ancient holy book and cleared her throat and began to chant in Latin, "Exaudi preces caelos ego vocabo? Et congregati sunt ad duo fora mucronibus sanguine ferro interfectus Rathordius male! Ad me dicit annihilator! Rursus reverterunt Rathordius egeamus auxilio custos caelos Auxílium angelos auxilio semel exterminare malum!" Celestia says as the two blades started to shine brightly and fused together. As the blades became one the sword became one greatsword that was made completely out of silver gold and holy crystals. Xavier then against his will went forward and grabbed the blade. As he did his hair turned brown and his feathered wings turned whiter then the heavens. Xavier's eyes sparkled with a crystalline like blue and his ears became more elf like. His scales and horns fell off as his tail shrunk back into his body and he became human again save for the angel wings. Xavier's armor completely changed too it was made of platinum and gold with some crystals coating the surface. His paldrons/shoulder pieces were large and dominant obviously showing superiority. The should pieces curved up and spreaded out like majestic wings as his leggings and boots were decorated similarly to the rest of his armor. Celestia looked at her brother and walked up, "X-Xavier?" She asked as Xavier turned around to face her. "Xavier is dormant at the moment. I am Seth the angel who cast down Rathordius at the beginning of all time" Seth says as Celestia backed up at the way more heroic looking and intimidating being. "L-look we need to get rid of Rathordius and that sword is the only thing that can do it," Celestia says as Seth gave her and emotionless deadpan look. "Untrue any weapon can kill him but it has to be imbued or blessed with holy magic. My blade just happens to be potent enough to kill" Seth says as Celestia blinked once and Seth had vanished. "N-no! It can't be! You are suppose to have died all those years ago when we first faced off you witless fool! Seth this is the last time we meet you will not stop me this time you slimy bastard!" Rathordius roared Seth chuckled and looked up the scar over his shining blue eyes twinkling in the light. Seth brushed some of his long brownish black hair aside and rose his sword, "This ends today I should have killed you long ago! I shall not make that mistake again Rathordius!" Seth shouts as he flew forward and into battle....
