The tail of an overpowered idiot.
Chapter one: stupidity, awakening and disasters. Part one.
The sun shined brightly on the city of Canterlot, its people going from shop to shop, Street performer’s danced and performed trick’s even a few songs and music player’s here and there.
One particular group of performer’s, three in total, were gathering quite the crowd, a boy with dark blue and light blue stripes of hair wering a suit with a dark blue tint in his skin suraunded himself in dark blue circles that had symbols that only others of his race could properly understand. Proof of this was other mages stood in the crowd amazed by the complex magic rings and seals.
With a flick of his claws of cartilage, which glowed a light blue, the ring collapsed into his hands, becoming a sphere of cyan blue. In one motion he raised his hands skyward, the sphere remained in his hands but shot out smaller balls of cyan blue spheres, each ball shot the smaller the sphere became. 
Just as the smaller balls of magic were about to fall back to the ground they exploded into a rainbow of fireworks, even during the middle of the day the crowd was captivated by the impressive work of magic.
The fireworks stopped but a small piece of the sphere remained which the boy shot up into the air, everyone in the crowd whated anxiously for the big finisher. Just as it was about to fall it exploded into a ball of gentle light which was almost immediately replaced by a boulder size ball of iron that began to fall… right over the boy. The crowd began to yell to the boy the move, some mages even began to charge magic into their claws to destroy the object.
But it was to late the iron ball was a few feet from the boy. Just as it seemed that he would be crushed, two thick and masculine arms grabbed the ball mid air barley two feet from the boy. The crowd looked at the nine foot terra, he wore a white top with camo pants and black boots, his skin had a tint of red to it.
He smiled a toothy grin to the crowd as he balanced the iron ball on his right hand and brushed his blonde hair with his left hand. “You all are going to like this.”
“Now, now Redstone no need to show-off.” Spoke the boy to the Titan of a man. Redstone looked at his friend with a humerus smirk. “Oh shut up lady boy. I’m giving this people a show.”
Everyone could almost visibly see a vain poping out of the boy's forehead. “For the last time SAPPHIRE IS A UNISEX NAME!” the boy, named Sapphire, loudly exclaimed to which Redstone chuckled. The crowd looked on in amusement, some of the younger audience members laught at the two bickering co-workers.
Redstone grasped the iron ball with both hands, the giant sphere of carbon began to crack under the immense pressure, many of his fellow Terra’s were beyond impressed with his strength even attracting the attention of many of the female onlookers.
With one last grant the ball collapsed, and to the crowds surprise, a tornado engulfed the performer’s, the spectators braced them selfves against the harsh winds.
Just as suddenly as it appeared the wind was gone and in replace of the tornado and the performer’s hovered a gorgeous goddess of a teenaged girl, her hair was a light strawberry red with silver streaks, she wore a green tank top with fingerless long gloves the same colour as her hair, streaks included, with short shorts and thigh high seven inch heal boots the same colours as hair only they were more silver then red. Her body was slim but healthy with to large strawberry wings with sliver highlights at the tips. Six spikes of iron cycle her as she hovered a good ten feet in the air.
Instantly many of the male crowed members were drooling, oblivious to their girlfriends and wife’s death glears. There will be hell to pay for their oblivious partner’s.
The teen payed no mind to the hungry stare's and used the power givin to all Harpy’s from birth; wind magic. With a wave of her hand the six spikes began to spin around her, gaining more speed the closer she descended to the ground.
Closer and closer and closer until she touched the ground, the spike’s pivoted their positions to faced the girl, spearhead first. They lunched forward and at the last second the girl flaped her wings allowing the spike’s to crash into each other, electricity pulsed in every detection in a spectacle of light and energy. The crowd was in awed of the Harpy’s use of thunder magic, the intensity of the sparks and bolts was forceful yet gentle, wild yet tame. The girl’s fellow Harpy’s were, like the rest of the races, were beyond impressed by the girls skills of thunder and wind magic. Clearly she has talent far beyond hear years.
With a resounding boom the light and power was gone and in replace Redstone held up a bowel shaped platform of iron with Sapphire standing on top surrounded by gemstones of every type, they were fakes but were made with such care only a professional could tell. Even so the crowd was in awe.
Hovering high above Sapphire was the teen goddess with her arms crossed. She looked down to the boy magician giveing him a two fingered salute, wordlessly Sapphire lunch all the gemstones skywards. The girl charged electricity in her hands and the joint in her wings and then dived down towards the incoming gems, charged fists and wings first. Half way up the gems stopped, forming a rainbow colored sphere. at the same time the girl began to spin, thunder crackling allover her body untill she was in cased in a spike of power, a drill of energy.
With a thunderous boom the girl smashed through the gem sphere, a multicolored wave of energy spread throughout the city with a thunderous bang. Sparks of every color rained down the city aweing all of its inhabitants.
The girl landed next to Sapphire, a prideful and gidy smirk plasted on her face. “Sapphire I did it, it worked YES! Fuck you dash you can kiss my cli-” she was cut of by Sapphire covering her mouth.
“Roseluck be professional. Your lucky the crowd’s distracted.” Roseluck rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms and huffed, turning away from Sapphire who merely sighed.
Sapphire turned back to the crowd and began to generate magic in his claws, quickly thrusted it into the iron, seals and cracks appearing all-over it’s surface quickly catching the crowd’s attention again. Redstone saw the cracks and seals knowing what was to happen next. With a grunt he lunched the platform into the air, Roseluck quickly grabbed Sapphire and took to the air. Not a second after the iron platform glowed with blinding light causeing the crowd to cover their eyes, the sound of broken glass filled the air.
A thunderous thud causing the crowd to look instantly becoming speechless at what they saw. A statue stood before them, a totem pole ten feet tall at least with several tindrals coyaling around it reaching up to a large sphere, attached to the sphere were four weman that had wing’s and claw’s, everybody instantly recognized this four as the only royal’s in existents; Queen Celestiea, goddess of the sun and flame and co-ruler of equestria. Queen Luna, goddess of the Moon and star’s, guardian of dreams and the co-ruler of equestria. Queen mi amore cadenza, goddess of emotion and love and ruler of the crystal empire. And last but not least twilight sparkle, goddess of Harmony and freedom and ruler of the everfree empire formally known as ponyville.
With a flick of his claws Sapphire, still being held by Roseluck, summoned rings around the statue and on the rings it read.
“LONG LIVE EQUESTRIA.”
The crowd cheered and clapped at the performance. Redstone along with Sapphire and Roseluck bowed to the crowd, with a snap of his claws Sapphire dismissed the statue. Many members of the crowd walked to a case paying the hard-working performer’s for their show, others merely walked away, the show the only thing on their mind.
A few minutes later.
“Man, I can’t believe I actually pulled of a sonic boom charge, oh when I see dash again I’m so going to rub it in her face.” Exclaimed Roseluck as she, Sapphire and Redstone walked down the streets of Canterlot.
Sapphire sighed. “Roseluck no one likes a sore winner. Why don’t you try being graceful for once.”
Roseluck gave Sapphire a blank stare. Then looked to Redstone. “What dose graceful mean.”
“you know very well what graceful means you dimwit!” Sapphire scalded. Redstone laughed. Roseluck just huffed looking away. “Whatever. So how long do we have till we meet mom at the garden’s.” Roseluck asked, causeing the trio to stop so Redstone could read the time on his wristwatch.
“We’ve got half an hour till we have to meet Trixie.”
“What do we do till then.” Sapphire asked.
“Lets go to the bar and get plastered.” Roseluck happily suggested. The other two gave her a dry look. The Harpy blinked. “what?”
“It’s only ten.”
“Whats your point.”
“Here.” Roseluck and Sapphire looked to Redstone who was holding two bags in each hand offering them to the two.
The two accepted the offered objects immediately realizing they were filled with bits. “T-thanks Red, but what’s this for.” Roseluck asked. Sapphire would of but he was to busy seeing boller signs, his love for money getting the best of him.
“I have some business to take care of with the guard, some paper work, I don’t think I’ll be out in time to see you guys at the garden’s.”
“Oh your retirement paper’s, that’s OK, will see you later.” Redstone nodded waving to the two unblood siblings as he walked in the direction of the Canterlot palace. Roseluck turned to Sapphire. “So, what do you want to do?”
“Ah.” Sapphire looked around, finally snapped out of his trance. “Where did Redstone go?” Roseluck shooked her head.
“He’s gone to finalize his retirement paper’s, then I asked you what do you want to do.”
“Ah. Well. I was going to work on my teleportation spell.”
“So boring shit. Well if your doing that I’ll go and some shopping.” Roseluck flared her wings and raised into the air with a strong flap. “See ya bro, stay safe!” Roseluck waved to Sapphire as she flu away.
Sapphire began to walk through the city streets. just as Sapphire walked was about to cross the street a man came around the corner but Sapphire continued like his wasn’t their. Sapphire collided with the man.
And fazed through him like he was air. Sapphire stopped as he felt a strong chill ran up his spin, he turned around to see nothing but air. Shrugging it off Sapphire continued his path towards a nice quiet place to meditate unaware that the man he fazed through fixed his eyes to the gardens, his gaze hard and cold. “Not long now.” He spoke, his voice so deep and souless. The man pulled out a watch and opened it, instead of hands and numbers all that could be seen was light, so bright all could see it from yards away yet the people of Centerlot continued their business as if it wasn’t their. “We will succeed.”
In the Canterlot gardens.
At a bark bench in the mighty Canterlot gardens sat a woman in her early-to-mid twenties, she wore a white vest top with a short dark purple almost black skirt and thigh high boots with a pair of white gloves that went halfway up her arms. Her hair was white with light blue streak’s tyied up into a ponytail and to complete her attire a pair of liberation glasses adorned themselves on her beautiful face.
She tapped her foot reputedly waiting for her friends/family to arrive. She reached into her breast pocket and pulled a watch reading the time. “their late.” She stated with an expressed tone.
“MOM!”
The woman looked up to the sky to see a familiar red and silver haired Harpy
“Roseluck over here!” The woman watched as the red head landed, the Harpy greeting the woman with a friendly smirk and a slight wave, the many bags she had shaking from the motion. “Hay. Hop you haven’t been waiting for to long.”
“Oh no, just close to half an hour. Your fashionly late.” Trixie exclaimed with as much sarcasm and frustration she could muster.
Roseluck chuckled sheepishly. “Sorry.”
The older woman just sighed. “Were are the other’s.” The red head pointed into the direction she came from.
“Sapphire should be here soon but Redstone maybe a little late. Anyway how was your day mom.”
Trixie heavily groaned. “Dealing with stuck up nobles all day in a crammed office is about as much fun as a sandpaper dildo.”
“Ack! How do you know how that feels?!” Roseluck asked her face contorted to one of pain and discomfort.
Trixie smiled with half lided eye’s biting her index finger nail. “Moma likes new toys.”
“Agh! And with that, my hands stay clean tonight.” Roseluck joked shaking her head to remove the unwanted images. Trixie chuckled.
“Anyway that was my day, what about yours.”
“It was good.” Roseluck replied as she took a seat next to her mother. “The performance whent well, we got a bucket loud of bits and we had money left over for some shopping, checkout this dress I got.” Roseluck handed over a small dark purple bag. Trixie looked into the bag gasping at the beautiful clothing.
“Wow.”
“I know right, but checkout who made it.” Trixie looked for the logo on the bag covering her mouth when she saw a familiar set of three diamonds.
“Oh my goddesses! This is one of Rarity's works! How did you buy something like this?!”
“Oh I have my sources.” Roseluck answered anomalously pretending to flip her hair back. Trixie instantly caught on.
“You meet Rarity! How is she I haven’t seen her for years.”
“Well her carrier is going well.”
“Oh ha, ha. Don’t be a smartass.”
“Why, just because it’s pretty it’s not aloud to be smart.”
“Oh come on just tell me already, I’m dieing over here.”
“Then please do it quietly.” Roseluck laughed at the glear her mother gave. “OK, OK she’s doing fine, but her and Spike got a divorce.”
“WHAT! When did that happen, were in tartures was I!”
“Around a month ago when we wher performing for the changelings.”
“Wow. I didn’t see that coming.”
“Same here. I guess they just fell out of love, their still friends apparently, they just can’t live with each other.”
“Damm. That must suck.”
“Ya it would. Anyway checkout this other dress I got.” Roseluck handed another dark purple bag.
“No way she gave you two free dresses!” Trixie looked into the bag, a eyebrow raised. It was the same dress that was in the other bag only this one was in a different colour… all of Trixie’s favorite colours.
“It’s amazing how fast she can sowe isn’t it, I asked her if she could make you a customized version of the one I got. Isn’t it beautiful-hugh.” Trixie crushed her daughter in a bone crushing embrace.
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It’s beautiful.”
“Mom… can’t breath.” Roseluck managed to squeeze out. Trixie eased her hug but didn’t let go.
“Thank you, seriously thank you.”
“It’s OK you don’t have to thank me, I just saw it and thought of you.” Roseluck reassured but the look in Trixie’s eye showed that their was nothing she could do to stop her mother from doing something in return for the gift.
“When Sapphire and Redstone get here we will do something for you and you can’t get way from it.” Trixie stopped Roseluck just as she was about protest. Roseluck sighed knowing full well that arguing well just give surv to tier her.
A sudden burst of light flashed in front of the mother and daughter slightly burning their eyes. Blinking to remove the black dots they looked over to see Sapphire sway slightly.
“Well that’s going to take some time to get used to.” The boy muttered. Just as he was about to greet the two Trixie ran up crushing him in a death hug.
“YOU DID IT! YOU TELEPORTED!” Trixie happily squealed as she crushed the poor boy, who was going a unhealthy shade of blue.
“Can’t… breath… to… tight.”
“That’s what she said.” Roseluck commented.
After a small glear towards the Harpy Trixie let go of the poor boy. “Sorry Sapphire, I’m just so happy that you finally learned teleportation! Now I can teach you second class magic! This is going to be so great!” Trixie celebrated. Sapphire groaned with annoyance. “great, third class was bad enough.”
Roseluck looked on in amusement as Trixie listed off all of the new spell’s she could teach Sapphire, said mage was judging if their was enough time to run to the train station before his mother caught him.
“You all may be adopted but you act as if you were all blood.” Roseluck jumped slightly from the gruff voice. She turned to see Redstone standing next to her.
“Oh Redstone, I didn’t see you, so did you finish your paper’s.”
Redstone groaned pinching the bridge of his nose. “I had to deal with captain headstrong. I think he has become more of an ass then the last time I saw him.” Roseluck winced. She remembered the last time she meet headstrong, he was a great captain but a horrible people person and almost hats everyone he meets. Roseluck could spend her entire life happy as long as she didn’t have to deal with headstrong ever again.
“Anyway, you look like you had a nice day. Are their any clothes left in Canterlot.”
“Hay I didn’t buy that much.” Roseluck defended holding her thirty or so bags. Redstone raised an eyebrow.
“II’dd hat to see you on a shopping spree.” The Harpy fliped him the finger as a reply
“WHAT.” Roseluck looked over to her mother and brother only to be giving a bone crushing hug. “You finally perfected the sonic boom charge! I’m so proud of you!”
“Can’t… breath… to… tight.”
“You sound like you speak from experience.” Sapphire commented. Roseluck just fliped him the finger.
Trixie let go of the suffocating Harpy. “That settles it, we are going to celebrate come on let’s go get some drink’s, I’m buying come on.” Trixie began to walk down the path only to stop and look back to the trio to see they were going the other way. “Hay where are you going!”
“Holtel this way!” they replied. Trixie just stood their before realizeing her error and corrected her course.
As the four walked thought the gardens, Redstone, Roseluck and Sapphire told Trixie how their day went, she was delighted that their show whent without folt especially since they only had a month to practice for this new routing. She was especially impressed by the fact that Sapphire was able to incorporate the four royal’s into the mix. Sapphire was immensely jealous that Roseluck talked to Rarity, one of the six element bearer’s and the number one top selling dressmaker in all of equestria, he was even more dumbstruck to hear about the divorce alown with Redstone who had the pleasure of meeting Spike himself, he never thought that a divorce would be what separated them, he would of bet money on them being married till death. Sapphire was beyond jealous that Roseluck was given a piece of clothing from Rarity herself. Even so he and Redstone were impressed by the dresses and that Rarity made a second one just for Trixie and a custom one at that.
Just as they were halfway through the gardens something caught Roseluck's eye.
“Hay guys thave put in a new statue.” Everyone looked over to see something a little ahead of them, a new edition to the gardens.
“Lets go take a look at it.” Sapphire and Roseluck said and ran towards the statue, with Redstone and Trixie not to far behind. Roseluck and Sapphire have always loved the Canterlot gardens statues even after the incident with Discord. They always found peace in the quite garden’s even when they were kid’s, neither one could explain why but they just loved being their, especially when their troubled.
“Well, this is different.” Sapphire said what everyone was thinking. Normally Celestiea and Luna would place statues that toled a story, a tail to better oneself or get them thinking like how a good painting that makes you think about things that you would normally not even consider giving a second glance. This one was different.
The statue looked like a teenaged boy around Roseluck’s age, which is either 18 or 19, he wore a loose top and shorts with a jacket tyed around his waste, a pair of sandals and a necklace with a pendulum attached. It’s attire was strange but what made it even more of an oddity was its position.
It looked like it was in pain, both mentally and physically as it’s hands were on its head, it’s ears covered like it tried to block someone out, it’s body screamed of agony and to make it look more put of place gaping holes were in its shins, forearms, head and a especially big one in its chest, as if something had been reaped out of its body.
Redstone bore a blank exasperation, both Roseluck and Sapphire were quite unnerved by the state of the statue, more Roseluck for some reason, and Trixie looked at it in discussed.
“Who in the name of tartures thought this was an appropriate place to put this thing, for Luna’s sake there are children around here. Statue or not its completely tasteless.” Trixie stated with complete discussed. Sapphire nodded in agreement.
“He looks like he’s in so much pain.” Roseluck stated greatly unnerved by the state of the boy. Something that didn’t go unnoticed by Sapphire.
Redstone took a step towards the statue and read the plack. He was surprised from what he saw.
“What dose it say.” Sapphire asked, becoming inpatient.
“Genasis, the storm God, death incarnate. Genasis once walked the world as the most powerful being, even stronger then both Celestiea and Luna both! If he so wished he could destroy the whole world with a snap of his finger’s. It is unclear what race he is for he is to short to be terra, only being around six foot tall. He had no claws yet he had more magic power then even star sworl himself. He had all the power of a royal yet he was not. He received the name Genasis for it is stated in leagend that he killed all of the black crested griffons, the most powerful and wised beings under the the Royal sister’s themselves in terms of magical knowledge. Seeing them as a threat to his survival and his throne, Genasis slaughtered them all, and unfortunately he succeeded in killing all but one. Her name was silver claw, the princess of the great obsidian city, the capital of the black crested griffon empire. Filled with hate and vengeance she gathered an army of griffons, Minotaurs and Draco’s to kill the storm God. After a long hard fought battle silver claw learned how to defeat Genasis, by using a powerful spell she reaped out his six hearts, killing him in the process. However the physical, mental and magical strain was to stronge for silver claw to take: she died months later. This statue was made as a trophy to show futer generations that even the most powerful of tyrants can and will always fall no matter how impossible it may seem, everything will fall sooner or later.” Redstone turned back to see the surprised and shocked faces starring back at him.
“The black crested griffons. But aren’t they just a legends.” Sapphire exclaimed, not believing that the old bedtime story he had been read to year’s ago could actually be real.
“I’ve been hearing rumors all day about the ruin’s of the black crested griffons being found not to long ago, but I thought it was just some scam artist’s lying to people to get their money from home made crap they tried to pass of as a ‘priceless relic’s’.” Trixie answered, barely able to hid you excitement at the mere thought of such an old tail being real.
“The hotel should have a TV, let’s see if this holds water.” Redstone suggested. More then sceptical about this. More one person has put a fake statue in the Centerlot gardens, so he wasn’t holding his breath. With a nod everyone walked towards the direction of the soul stone hotel.
Roseluck however stopped. Since she laid eyes with the statue this strange and alian feeling has been nagging her, the Harpy couldn’t seem to place what this feeling was. She looked back to the statue, the feeling becoming almost overwhelming. Reluctantly she shrugging it of she ran to catch up with her family.
Unknown to the red heas Harpy the man who Sapphire fazed through had been standing their this entire time. He pulled out the same pocket watch, only the light was even stronger. “Soon. just a few more hour’s. Soon.”
A few hours later.
“I can’t balive we missed the opening ceremony.” Trixie moaned as she slumped further into the couch of the hotel room. It was a very basic designed room, the living room took up most of the size, the kitchen was tucked into the corner with the doors leading to the four bed rooms next to it, and one small hallway leading to the hotel hallway. A small balcony the last notable thing about it. After returning to the soul stone hotel they placed all of Roseluck’s bags away. After that Trixie toled everyone that they would spend the rest of the day celebrating Sapphire and Roseluck’s accomplishments so they left to all of their favorite places. After spending a few good hour’s of fun they entered the the five star restaurant the golden oak's, a chain of high class restaurant’s made by one of the elements, Pinkie Pie. She named the restaurants after the golden oak’s library, Twilight sparkles first home and the first place the two meet. After a nice dinner they went back to the hotel and watched a repeat of the news to see princess blue blood and the king of the griffon empire unveiled the Genasis statue, after a speech from both parties adout friendship between nations and trust with a piece of history they marked the statue as the peace treaty between their two nation’s. Which brings us to now
Sapphire looked to his adoptive mother. “Who in tartures cares about some ceremony, the black crested griffons actually existed! This is so cool! Oh I wish I could go on the exploration. To see the ruin’s before my eyes before anyone else. To read their ancient language. To-.” By this point everyone turned out the wannabe archeologist. Redstone and Trixie began to chat ideally knowing when Sapphire gets this way he’ll talk till he loses his voice. Surprisingly the only one not enjoying themself was Roseluck, who was sitting on the balcony railing looking out to the city in the comfort of the night. She hasn’t been able to stop thinking about the statue, that feeling she got by just being near it. Questions ran through her mind unable to understand why she felt like or why it’s even buging ber at all, normally she would have already forgoting about it, but this time it was different, she didn’t even know were the feeling was coming from so she couldn’t even try to ease it with physical connection like one would tuch their chest if they were in love or grasp their stomach when they felt sick but were completely healthy. She just couldn’t shake it or stop thinking about it. A few times her mother would ask her if she was alright but managed to skip the question, but the longer the time whent the harder it was for her to ignore the feeling, if this keeps up she won’t be able to dismiss it to her mother.
Sapphire saw from the corner of his eye the troubled and distant look in the Harpy’s eyes. “Roseluck you OK.” Sapphire asked, finally snapping out of his daydreaming, quickly catching the attention of Trixie and Redstone.
No answer.
“Roseluck!”
No answer.
“Roseluck sweety, what’s wrong.” Trixie asked beginning to walk towards the troubled Harpy.
“I’m going for a fly. I’ll see you guys in a bit.” Roseluck finally said, not even looking at the three. Not waiting for a replay she lunched herself of the railing and into the sky, speeding of into the city.
Trixie walked into the balcony, but Roseluck was to far to see, Redstone peered over the railing, but the sense’s of Terra’s isn’t all that reliable. Sapphire remained were he stood, having a since of what’s bothering her he made his way to the door.
“I’ll be back.”
Trixie and Redstone looked to see Sapphire exit the apartment, leaveing the two behind confused.
Sapphire walked the streets of Canterlot, the city still as bustling and lively during the night as it is in the day, people walked the streets either heading home or going out, chatter filled the air making it almost impossible to hear anything else. The teenaged mage had his head down, never before has Sapphire seen Roseluck this troubled before. “I hope she’s OK. What in tartures as gotten into her, she’s been called so meny things and being through so much and she just shrugged it off. She’s never allowed live to effect her no matter what it through at her, and now a old bird shit covered statue has her down. Something’s not right, not at all.” He was so deep in thought that he almost didn’t realise he had entered the Centerlot gardens, the right place he wanted to be. “Where was that statue.”
By the Genasis statue. the man stood before the marble relic, his gaze cold and hard as always. Reaching to into his pocket he pulled out the watch, the light was so strong it could rival the sun. “Finally, the time is right.”
From the watch a grey crystal levitated into the air, five ring seals appeared around the statue, the man began to chant in a unknown language. Further down the path Sapphire turned to the glow of magical light, he could see the five rings orbit the statue. Squinting, he read the seals engraved into the magic rings.
Dread began to well up withing him, knowing all to well what was happening. “What in tartures is he doing!” Whaithout a second thought, the recently promoted second class mage ran to stop the impending disaster.
Powering his claw’s he casted his counter spell, it wasn’t enough to dispel the rings but was enough to pause it. The man looked to the boy in shock. “he can see my magic!”
To the man’s surprise Sapphire looked directly at him. “Who in tartures are you!” The man’s eyes widened to dinner plates.
“You can see me? That means it’s already beginning to wear off.” The man was so shocked by this realization his magic grip on the gray stone stopped for just a split second, but that was all that was needed. The stone flue into the gaping wound of Genasises chest faster then the man could blink, the wound closing almost immediately.
“NO, THE SPELLS NOT FINISHED!” the man attempted to speed up the spell, but Sapphire just put more power into his counter spell. Crack’s began to appear on the statue, light pouring out like knifes in the dark of night. “Oh no.”
With an explosion of magical power, the man and Sapphire were blasted off their feet, the man used a teleportation spell in mid-air appearing outside of the city, his face pale. Sapphire, unable to use a teleportation spell due to being dazed from the blast, sailed through the air slamming into a tree and falling to the ground.
Moaning, he tried to stand only for pain to roer through his back, concatenation as hard as he could, he casted a healing spell, repairing the damage but the pain remained, weakened, but still their. With the majority of the pain gone Sapphire stood on his shaken legs.
Only to fall on his backside as overwhelming dread and fear overpowered him.
Standing on what remained of the pedestal was death incarnate himself; Genasis.
He had hazel nut hair and, to Sapphire, unhealthy shade of white skin. His top was black with cyan blue lineing, a picture of a azure flamed skull were his wounged use to be. Black shorts with cyan blue lines and a cyan blue jacket with black lineing and black sports sandal’s. Lastly his necklace was pure silver with the pendulum made to look like a ball with a thing piece of metal coiling around giving it the appearance of a hollow drill, pieces of Ruby’s, emeralds, tigers eye’s and tanzanite's placed on both the necklace and the pendulum.
Genasises was crouching, his hands tightly grasping his head. Rearing up, a ground shaking roar eachoed throughout the city. Every citizen of Canterlot covered their ears, barely able to even think due to the shear volume of the monstrous sound. Even after Genasis stopped, the roar could still be heard for several seconds till it finally stopped.
Sapphire uncovered his aching ears, a ringing sound was the only thing he could hear. He looked back to the storm God, his upperbody was hunched over, slowly he began to lift himself up, fire began to build in his fists and over his arms.
Overcome by fear Sapphire shot to his feet, sprinting towards the exit. In one motion, Genasis raised his flaming fists over his head and strucked the ground, a wave of writhing flames torched the Centerlot gardens. Sapphire turned his head to the sounds of writhing flames, his eyes shrunked to the size of pinpricks at the sight of the ten foot sea of flames.
Fear now in complete control, Sapphire sprinted faster then he as ever gone before, the wall of flames hot on his heals.
At the exit to the gardens, the Centerlot night guards, who where immediately dispatched after the monstrous roar ran through the city, quickly came to the Centerlot gardens only to see fire racing towards the city. Thinking quickly the mages placed a barrier over the gardens, the terra guards have set up blockades to prevent any curious citizen’s from interfering, and the Harpy guards flue overhead, some reading wind spells to douse the flames if the barrier failes and others to rescue anybody still in the gardens.
Bursts of lights indicating teleportation, several guards appeared carrying citizen’s in their arm’s, some hurt others scared. Immediately they were taking away by medics to receive tretment. From the sky a green heard Harpy landed next to a mage guard who wore more intimating armor then the other guards.
“Commander armor! I believe everyone in the gardens has been successfully evacuated!”
“Do a second sweep! We can’t afford any casualties-.”
“Comander armor! Lutenit claw! We have a boy still in the red zone!” the two high ranking officers looked over to a Harpy guard then to the wall of flames, comander armor used a sight enhancement spell to see a boy running for all his worth to escape the flames, said flams were barely five feet away from the paniced boy. Lutenit gold claw could easily see the see the boy thanks to her enhanced Harpy senses without magical assistance.
“I thought you said no one was left inside!”
“Forgive me sir, I-I didn’t see him.” Gold claw ashamedly admitted.
“Don’t worry sir I’ll get him!” A mage guard exclaimed as he charged his claw’s, but was instantly stopped by the Commander.
“ No! His to close, you both would be burned alive before the spell actived.” And sadly it was true, the two seconds it would take to teleport back would be to long, the fire would disintegrat them before either one could even get their claws to glow. The soldier growled, clearly displeased.
Commander armor and the soldier moved closer to the barrier, the guard are always trained for any, even the most unlikely of situations, this being one of them. And like the soldiers that they were, they did what they were trained to do. Stabbing their claws into the barrier, the Commander teared left as the soldier teared right making a hole more then big enough for the boy to run through.
“Over here! Quickly! Come on!” both the Commander, soldier and several other guards yelled. Sapphire saw them, now just realizing their was a barrier around the gardens. Slightly changing his course, Sapphire began running to the guards, the wall of flames not to far behind.
Faster and faster, closer and closer. The air was filled with the worryed yells of the guards and the sound of writhing fire untill finally Sapphire ran into the arms of two medics. The Commander and the soldier let go of the barrier, the hole snapping shut just as the fir hit the magic wall. Thinking fast, the Commander added his magic to the barrier using his own shell type magic, his specialty.
After a long few seconds, the fire, like with all flames made by magic, dispersed as suddenly as it began. All the mage guards collapsed to the ground, except for the Commander but he himself was greatly exhausted.
“Commander are you alright!” Gold claw asked, panicked by how weak her leader has become just by holding back some flames.
“I’m alright lutenit, but what of the other’s?”
“Just exhausted like you, only more so.”
“And the gardens?”
Gold claw looked to the gardens. Or what’s left of it. “By the godesses.”
The Commander stood up to survey to damage. Fear so strong he could feel it burn his heart.
The once great Centerlot gardens was completely destroyed. The grass was scorched, the statues were either completely destroyed or melted into mounds of clay and the trees were burned to ash.
“What kind of monster could do so much damage.”
“Sir, sir! Quickly you have to evacuate everyone in Centerlot right now! If you don’t everyone’s going to die!”
“Calm down son! What do you mean people are going to die.” Armor shaked the historical teenaged mage in a vain attempted to calm him down.
“It’s another discord incident! The Genasis statue WAS the real Genasis! We have to evacuate now otherwise-.”
A monstruse roar interrupted Sapphire’s warning. Everyone looked up just in time to see Genasis fall straight towards them, a pair of flaming fists aimed right at them.
With Trixie and Redstone.
“Sapphire! Roseluck!”
“Lady boy! Red head!”
Both Trixie and Redstone called out for their missing family, panic and worry building with in them. Right after the ungodly roar almost blow their ear drums, Trixie ran out into the paniced streets, Redstone right on her heals. Originally Redstone tried to calm down the historical mother but after both he and Trixie saw the fire wave that decimated the gardens that quickly changed Redstone’s tune as he began to panic, but he was still doing better then Trixie was.
The adult mage was repedly breathing in and out, having one of the most powerful panic attack she has ever gone through, barley able to stop her body from trembling with worry.
“Its OK Trixie, their strong kids, they’ll be alright.” Redstone tried to comfort the dread filled mother who just keeped running through the streets, not trusting herself not to lashout at the Terra if she answered. She simpled keeped on running shouting out the names of the only children she has.
Just as the two walked into a street that lead to the gardens they had to duck back as a wall of flames roared towards them, Trixie placing a barrier spell to keep any straggling flames from burning them.
After a few seconds the flames subsided, Trixie immediately shot to her feet running towards the gardens. Only to crash into a familiar suite wearing mage.
“Sapphire! Oh thank the godesses Your OK.” Trixie huged her adopted son as tightly as she could, afraid that if she where to let go he would be gone.
“Mom! no time! We need to go, NOW! Most of the guards were knockout trying to shield us!”
“What do you mean. Whats going on, what could cause that fire.”
“And knockout a guard.” Redstone added, knowing full well that guards are given special enhancement spells to prevent something like unconscious. Even a fully grown Draco can’t knock them out unless they were above average strength, and a normally strength Draco can turn a rock into a diamond with the bear hands!
A roar came from the end of the street. Trixie and Redstone’s head shot up. Unadulterated fear filled them at the site.
Genasises stood at the end of the street, his feet turning the ground into ice, electricity writhed all-around him, ball sized spheres of water cyerciled him as fire and wind pulsed from his tightly clenched fists. Redstone’s body was tensed, ready to fight the storm God. Sapphire couldn’t stop his body from shaking, knowing full well that he was face to face with the closest thing to the apocalypse in a physical form. Surprisingly Trixie wasn’t horrified by Genasis himself, but what she saw in his eyes. His left eye was completely black, it’s gaze cold and hard, wall his right eye was normal, but instead of cold and hard it was filled with fear and sadness. A kind of fear that Trixie know all to well.
Genasises charged to the trio, the floor and sarounding buildings freezing solid, the electricity pulsing around him began to intensify till he looked like a ball of thunder speeding straight for the three. Trixie shielded her adopted son, in a vain attempted to shield him from the power. Redstone stood in front of the mother and son, his left shoulder facing the rampaging tyrant, ready for the impact.
Genasises rammed into Redstone, a powerful discharge filled the air destroying all of the frozen buildings and shattering the ground. Genasises jumped back away from Redstone, despite the shear amount of power, the Titan of a Terra was barely scratched by the thunder charge.
“Was that the best you got.” Redstone teased. However their may have not been any physical damage, but internally he felt like he was stomped on by a Hydra. As strong and as staborn as he is, their was no way he could withstand another hit like that.
Genasises roared, clearly displeased that the Terra was still standing. Over his head a burst of light indicating a teleportation spell, Commander shining armor crashes feat first into the ancient God.
“Citizen’s get to safety! Now!”
“Citizen! I’ll have you know-.” Redstone was cut of when he felt a clawed hand grasp his ankle. In a burst of light the three had returned to their apartment, Trixie and Redstone slightly disoriented, not completely used to teleportation spell’s all that much. Regaining her bearings Trixie took command.
“Sapphire get are things and wait at the carriage. Redstone get the windegos and my gorgen.” Redstone nodded, knowing he couldn’t change her mind but to be honest, he wouldn’t argue even if he could win. Sapphire wasn’t to happy with were this was going.
“You can’t be serious! Your going back out their! No, we need to pack, find Roseluck and get the fuck out!” Trixie sent an angered and disproving glear to the young mage, said mage covered his mouth.
“Sapphire lulamoon! I will do no such thing! You of all people should know that I can’t just walk away from this! I will not sit on my ass, twitling my twat wall people mite die!” Redstone walked back into the room, a suitcase in each hand. He was about to say something untill he saw the enraged mother and her son looking down in shame, knowing better Redstone keeped quite.
Trixie’s anger subsided as she pulled her unblood son into a soft inbraced. “Don’t worry, I know your scared but we will be fine, especially Roseluck, she may be an idiot but she’s smart, she’ll be OK.” Trixie spoke in that kind of tone that only a mother can use, gently rubing Sapphires back. Trixie pulled away grabbing her son’s upper arms, looking right into his eye’s. “Please go pack up and wait for use at the carriage, Roseluck’s probably already their. OK.” Sapphire only nodded in response. He pulled away doing as he was tolded. Trixie looked to Redstone noding her head, the Terra noding back.
In Canterlot city.
The once mighty Canterlot city, the capital city of equestria, was in complete chaos. The building’s wear either frozen over, crumbling to tiny pieces or burning to ashes by magical flames, wind so powerful the city was being pulled apart, small pieces falling to the earth balow. Thunder and lightning striked the ground, destroying anything it hit and creating more fire, thise ones completely natural so they won’t subsid as quickly as magic fire did. The people of Centerlot ran for cover, being lead by what remained of the Centerlot guards to any safe haven from the disaster.
And in the middle of this hell was Commander shining armor, husband to the godess of emotion, brother of the goddess of harmony, King of the crystal empire and the most powerful swordsman in all of equestria facing against the physical manifestation of death, the God of storms, the most powerful being on the planet, the one who bought a whole spices to extinction; Genasises.
Swing after swing, punch after punch, the two legendary warrior’s clashed, armor with his five foot great sword and Genasises powerful magic.
Armor swinged his sword right, Genasis jumped over the blade and delivered a point blank fire wall. Armor placed his blade in front of him casting a barrier spell easily enduring the flames. Genasis gathered ice into his palm unleashing a shower of icicle shards at the guard. Armor remained on the deensive as he powered through the mini ice storm. Armor pushed the barrier forward charging at the storm God slamming into him and draged him across the street slamming into a building, but he didn’t stop their. Grunting Armor pushed right through the wall, and into another. And another. And another untill they stopped at an open field. with one last pules of magic, Armor lunched the barrier like a projectile with Genasises acting as the head smashing into a weakened building, which almost immediately collapsed in on itself, burying the storm God under tones upon tones of stone. Armor deeply inhaled and exhaled. Genasises jumped out of the hill of debris with a thunder fist at the ready, armor didn’t have time to gasp as Genasis socked I’m in the jaw lunching him twenty feet way skidding to a stop, before the legendary warrior could catch his breath Genasis ake kicked to to the ground with enough force his body bounced then he was side ficked through the air and through several buildings tumbaling to a stop in another open area. Slowly shining armor forced his body to stand. He looked through the path of destruction to see Genasis gathering electricity in his body prepareing a thunder charge. Armor shakedly leveled his sword.
This was bad, never before has the mighty warrior faced against such a powerful foe. Never has he faced such an enduring creature, it was like he couldn’t stop moving. It was like Genasis couldn’t feel exhausting or pain, no matter how fast he ran or how meny times armor landed a hit he just didn’t seem to be affected. It was like Genasis couldn’t feel anything. Shining armor had faced against many enemy’s, the changelings, sombra and even his own sister in a mock fight. But this! This wasn’t a fight, this wasn’t even a war. To the guards and the citizen’s of Canterlot this was a one man invasion and a disaster all in one, But to Genasis this was nothing more then pest control. This wasn’t a fight but a game. This wasn’t a disaster but a party. Armor know this fight would end one way.
Their was no way he could win and their was no way he would run, he could never face his wife if he did or his sister. Considerating as hard as he could Armor powered the regeneration enchantment in his armor to repair as much of the damage as he could till he had to stop to conservative his energy, even still he was able to repair 30% of the damage.
Genasis charged, the shear intensity of his lightning incinerating the stone and wood of the of the once proud Canterlot buildings. Armor used his sword as a shield bracing himself for the impact. Just as Genasis was about to collid with the mage something placed itself in front of the comander taking the hit. Light and power surged throughout the area. Genasis jumped back from the cloud of dust, Commander Armor covered his eyes to shield himself from the dust cloud. Once it subsided he saw, to his shock, Redstone wearing a unique set of armor. It was gold set in a exoskeleton like fashion, it had a sleak helmet designe with two broad shoulder guards connected to each other vie a gold string. It only had the breast plate leaving the lower part of his upper body bear. His legs wear guarded with thick gauntlet boots engraved with several enchantment seals. Lastly a pair of gauntlet gloves with thick brass knuckles, it had a strange attachment under the forearm that took the shape of a blade but adversely wasn’t one, it stretched passed his elbows ending in a point and passed his hands ending with a flat head with a pair of greaps. Just like his boots there was enchantment seals engraved on the back of his hand and one on the flat head.
“Citizen where did you get that armor-.” Armor stopped himself. On Redstone’s back right in-between his shoulder blade’s was an insignia he hasn’t seen since his wedding seven years ago. It looked like a combination of the sun and Moon inside a haert shaped frame with six stars placed around it.
Redstone stood straight. “I am elite Commander Redstone of the eclipse division! Master of the legendary arts, slayer of the star dragon, defender of the goddess! I hear by give you one chance and one only to surrender or fall were you stand!”
Genasis roared in defiance charging at the elite Commander only to be slaped halfway across Centerlot by said commander, wood and stone flu through the air as Genasis was cent through building after building.
Armor looked on dumbstrucked by the shear power of a elite commander, especially one so famous as Redstone.
“By the goddesses I’m so sorry, please except my apologies elite Commander Redstone I didn’t recogniz you-.” Redstone raised a hand silencing the Commander.
“Do not apologize for doing your job Commander. Now please leave the area, I’ll engage the enemy from here.”
“W-what! No elite he’s to strong! You can’t win on your own, please allow me to help. With both of us fighting we may have a chance to-.”
“What about your wife Armor.” That maded Armor stopped.
“What about your sister. How do you expect them to cope with the sight of their loved one in a hospital… or worse. You can’t put them through that. Teleport to the guards and evacuate the city.”
After a few seconds pasted Armor powered his claws. “Very well elite, but don’t you dear die.” With that Armor flashed away to help the citizen’s.
“Please, I’m not that old I’ve become rusty.”
“So how was talking to your old student.” Trixie asked as she appeared by Redstone’s side. Not vie a teleportation spell but from the shadows themselves.
“He still can’t think four moves ahead. Their was so many chances he could of taking advantage of, he could have taken less damage then Genasis but his still to thick headed. Speaking of which how is are little tyrant.”
“He was knock over the boarder of Canterlot but used his wind magic to fly back up. He will be here in a few seconds.” Trixie responded in a neutral tone not a single trace of fear. In fact she showed no emotion what so ever as if some switch had been tuned off.
A roar eachoed from the heavens as Genasis descended to the ground. With an almighty thud the Strom God landed thirty feet from Redstone and Trixie snarling like a fearal beast.
Without a single shred of fear Redstone raised his fists in a boxers stance. “Are you ready Trixie.”
Trixie answered by raising her chosen weapon. It was a black and gold gauntlet, her fingers had claws with seals on the tips were her finger nails were. Each seal was circular in appearance with three lines in them that separated them individually. Lings attached each seal to the one on the back of Trixie’s hand the seal taking the same appearance as the smaller ones only it had all their line work pluse it’s own. On her forearm was a ovel shaped disk with a long piece of gold metal in the shape of a V with the two ends attached to the actual gauntlet with the pointed part of the V on the disk.
With a thought the smaller seals glowed transfering their power to the main seal. Not a second later a paper thing blade of energy shot out from the rim of the disk, the V acting as a focuser to concentrate the energy into one point. Shadows writhed around Trixie’s thing form.
With a click of her fingers the shadows ingolfed the two fighters and forming a ring of shadows around the area. Redstone charged out a fist raised Genasis powered his fingers till they looked like claws waiting for Redstone to get close enough. Just as the two were about to clash Redstone disappeared before Genasis had time to register the real Redstone nailed the storm God in the back of the head thrusting it forward into Trixie’s, who had miterealized from Genasises shadow, lunching the crazed God into the air with Redstone jumping up after him and delivered a ake kick down then side kicked in the side by Trixie’s seven inch boot causeing Genasis to hit the ground like a meteor creating a trale of broken stone. In one motion Genasis lunched himself into the air then back to the ground digging his feet and finger into the stone to stop his momentum generating energy in his mouth. Once stopped Genasis unleashed a beam of thunder at Trixie who placed a seven foot thick shadow shield that was easily destroyed but gave Trixie enough time to dodge the attack. Genasis charged at Trixie faster then she could react ramming into her with enough force she sailed through the air and into the shadow wall were she then appeared in Genasises shadow impalaing him through the heart with her blade. Genasis roared in agonizing pain but to Trixie’s horror he didn’t die. Genasis hunched over lifting Trixie in the process shaking her off Trixie landed a few feet away but was instantly uppercuted into the air then side kicked out of the area. Now out of range Trixie’s shadows dispersed returning to normal. Genasis landed but was instantly hit by a right hook from Redstone but Genasis lurned his lesson from last time he dug his fingers into the ground stopping his momentum. Redstone raised his fists into a boxers position.
“What in tartures is he! He couldn’t have already acquired his other hearts, he still has the other wounds. I could understand if he had two of his six hearts but he still only has one! How can he still be alive.” Redstone just couldn’t understand how or why Genasis was still standing from that lethal attack. Not only did he defeat over half of the Canterlot guards with just one attack he also withstood Commander Shining Armor's brutal swordsmanship even if by the end of it he lost he was still hit by Armor’s most powerful attacks and just shrugged it off as if it was more of an annoyance. Redstone couldn’t believe this was possible, Genasis really could go toe to toe with both maybe even all four of the goddesses at once. To say this was bad would be an understatement, if Redstone could put this into he’s own word’s. He is completely and utterly fucked!
But he wouldn’t run or hide his self giving mission wasn’t to win but to stall Genasis for as long as he could so the citizen’s could evacuate safely and if that meant he had to die to do that then so be it.
Redstone’s gauntlets glowed as he powered his enchantment's, wind and ice pulsed from his clenched fists. Genasis responded by charging his own fists with fire and thunder. With powerful leapes the two warrior’s charged at each other.
The battle of two heavy weight champions has began.
