//------------------------------// // Boy from the Village // Story: Dawn Of The Young Star: A role-play turned story By Dalton1 and TheStarKnightOfLuna // by TheStarKnightOfLuna //------------------------------// Just as Luna came back to the conference room, the meeting was officially adjourned. Twilight, Celestia, and the rest of the group had left the room, going to the throne room. "I really hope this plan works." Twilight told Celestia as they walked together to the throne room with their friends. "If it doesn't, at least we'll able to know their location when we strike again. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices in battles to win once and for all in war." Celestia replied in a firm voice. Twilight was silent for a moment before nodding in agreement. "We should tell everyone about this." Caring noted. As He and Spike opened the door to the throne room for everyone else, it was revealed that the Shadow-lings had invaded the area. "What?! How!?" Spike was stunned by this as he muttered those words quietly. They were all in shock as they saw the shady creatures attacking the throne room. Shasmir was lying on the floor near one of them, knocked out. The shadow-lings had slowly turned their attention to Twilight, Caring, Spike, and the rest of the group, and began to charge. The group had took cover due to fear. Just as they thought this could be their final moments in the world, the young boy from Hana No Mura, who had been chasing the group, dashed in and started to fight them, wielding an ebony colored short sword, slashing and slicing them to pieces with quick movement. He showed no hesitation to put these shadows to rest once more. It only took a few moments to finish them all. Twilight slowly moved from her defense position and out into the throne room to confront him. "H-how did you.... Get in here, and stop them so fast...?" Twilight asked him. The boy was silent, before pointing the edge of the blade at her. "Why should I answer to the person that took everything away from me? Hana No Mura, My home, my step father... All gone. Because of them.... AND YOU!" He began attacking her, holding nothing back. Twilight quickly pulled out her sword as she was getting slashed at by this mysterious, 14-year-old boy, defending herself against him. "What are you talking about?! I didn't summon them!" Twilight tried to reason with him as she blocked shot from shot, coming back with attacks of her own. "YOU LIAR! HE WOULD STILL BE ALIVE IF THEY WEREN'T SUMMONED!" He shouted. Just as they kept battling, Caring came out of nowhere and tackled him, nearly knocking the boy out. The rest came out as well. "Nobody hurts my girlfriend...!" Caring muttered. The boy slowly got up, as well did Shasmir. The boy was furious when he saw Shasmir, and had slowly lifted him off the ground with his magic. "You..... You were suppose to keep us safe, but you let them come in! You were the Gatekeeper of the Dark Rift Prison!" This boy had talent in magic, but Caring and Twilight pulled him down with theirs. "You should know vengeance isn't the answer to anything anymore...." Flutter mumbled a bit. "No... He's right. I didn't do what I was hired to do, and that was keep them from coming from the portal." Shasmir explained in a calm voice, "The army can't stop them... Only the unknown chosen one can." He carried on. "... So all of this.... Wasn't worth it...? This happens every time I get enraged and feel pain..." The boy had revealed a mark on his face. He was silent for a moment. ".... This is a darkness cursed onto me since the day I was born... Now I'll never be the same... And I almost killed someone... How am I able to forgive myself....?! How am I able to fight this demon inside me....?!" He sighed. The room was filled with silence before the boy started getting up and slowly walking away, before throwing a star-shaped necklace with a small black gem near the group. "I never knew my real father, but I had a feeling that you could have." He explained. Twilight gazed at it a bit before gaining a small flashback of Sombra and what he had done before. "... Wait a minute. I know this necklace. It somehow reminds me of when we fought with Sombra..." Twilight explained. The boy wanted a straight answer, and not a whole lecture. "Could you tell me!?" He sighed. Celestia looked at him and sighed. "... I just need to know a few things first. How long did you have that necklace?" Celestia asked. The boy sighed and looked at her. "Since I was adopted... I was half a year old before my father left me." Celestia thought about this deeply as the boy explained. "Who was your mother?" She continued to ask. ".... Her name was Silver Moon... Thats all I remember." He continued. Twilight gasped a little. "Was she a ruler? Did she and Sombra attempt to rule at one point?" Twilight asked. ".... She died while she gave birth to me, which was believed to fill him with rage..." He explained. They were all in shock at the boy, and some of them started to tear up a bit as he stood silently. ".... Your... Your Sombra's son..." Celestia muttered. The boy was in shock when he heard this. "One more thing.... What is your name?" Twilight asked him. He stood silently before sighing. ".... Mokuba." The boy finally answered. "Caring, Twilight, take Mokuba with you and find Sombra. I know where he is." Celestia requested.
