Chapter 94-The First Arrival
Two different colored meteorites were quite the sight to see. It was never heard of, never even imagined in the minds of ponies to see two meteorites so close together, coming closer to the ground without burning up. The lone stargazer leaned forward on the stone he sat on, his eyes growing wider, reflecting the sight of the two asteroids heading right for the forest.
Seriously, they weren’t burning up, and they weren’t intended to slow down either.
He counted the second until they hit the ground. With the inevitable crash from the two meteors, one purple and one orange, the entire forest shook with horrific intensity, even managing to knock the pony off the stone and land face-first onto the dirt beneath him.
The Earth pony pressed his hooves into the dirt, pushing himself off the ground and spitting the muck off his tongue. After thoroughly cleaning and checking for more grime, the Earth pony brought his attention back to the meteorites from before, the ones that caused the tremor and ultimately his fall.
He could already see smoke rising over the towering tree trunks and twisted vines.
Quickly, the stallion shot up and started in a fast trot through the Everfree Forest’s thick canopy, pushing aside unwanted visitors from the tree limbs. He could see a light at the end of the dark, fresh tunnel that consumed, nearly ate him alive. He wouldn’t allow the Everfree to play its tricks on him this time, and he resumed his journey this time in a gallop.
The stallion pushed through branches and bushes, finally arriving to what appeared to be the crash site of the space debris. To put it simply, the asteroids did quite a number on the Everfree.
Trees hung to the sides, burning at the tips and edges and leaving a clear opening right above. Stars dotted the night sky, Luna’s crescent moon giving enough light for the stallion to ponder closer to the scene. He approached the scorched earth, trails of fire that spanned at least a mile apart going further and further deeper into the forest until…
He arrived.
It was no meteorite.
The space object, golden in color, rose at least a hundred or so feet above of his head, possibly higher due to his small position. It sat at the end of the forest canopy, the outside of it burning with fresh flames and sparks flying out from several, dark gashes across its exterior. The stallion approached it even closer, noticing a single figure lying in the grass not too far away from the massive object.
The pony took a single step forward and stopped. He heard a sound beneath him. Looking down in surprise, the stallion screamed as the forest floor cracked around him, causing the pony to plummet to the dark cavern below.
He tumbled alongside the cavern wall, grunting in pain every time he came in contact with a rock. It was only did he stop grunting when he slid to a stop on the cavern floor, a moan escaping his dried lips. Shakily, the stallion began to rise up again. He had fallen far too many times before now, and he wasn’t going to let a little fall be the end of him.
He sat and rubbed his forehead, his eyelids parting only slightly.
The stallion stopped moving.
His hoof fell, as did his jaw.
In the cavern he fell into, there was a small, underground pond dead center within the earthly walls. The pond gave off an eerie, light blue glow, completely unheard of in his field of knowledge. The light from the pond, however, gave life to the dark room…and what remained inside of it.
The stallion gasped, rising to all four hooves and approaching the pond.
Bodies.
Bipedal, metallic, towering figures lined the outside of the pond. Their bodies were ripped open and light blue liquid poured out of them, all flowing into the pond. The pony didn’t stop there, his eyes shifting above to see more of the metal creatures dangling from above. Each and every one of them seemed to have come from the space object, only furthering the stallion’s interests.
He came close to one of the creatures. The creature’s face definitely was metallic on closer inspection, and it showed a reflection of the pony’s face against its visor. The intrigued pony backed away from the creature that was most surely dead and brought his full attention to the glowing pond.
He dipped the tip of his hoof into the water. Bringing it out, he examined the blue liquid slowly flow down his hoof, not acting anything like water. This was denser, much heavier than H20. In fact, it felt almost like…
The stallion spun around.
The torn bodies of metal creatures leaked some sort of blue liquid that glowed in the darkness. That liquid flowed into the pond, causing the regular water to somehow…“transform” into the unknown substance.
The pony smiled wickedly. He had discovered alien life, alien blood. Oh, how Noctune hadn’t smiled like this in ages.
Cackles of the damned awakened the dark brown stallion from his sleep. Noctune slowly opened his eye, expecting the morning sunlight but only seeing endless voids of black sea in front of him, passed the silver bars that held him in like a caged animal.
The right side of his face was hidden beneath the shield he created with his foreleg. Sighing, Noctune lifted up his head, his right eye wide and unable to blink. It was the only way he could sleep, keeping his right eye covered in some form of welcoming darkness. Like it ever helped anyways. He was still alone, still caged…like a beast from Tartarus.
Life truly did hate the former leader of the Alliance in the worst possible ways.
The void Noctune remained forever inside, the dark caverns flowing with bright red lava only to disappear to the seemingly endless black pit beneath him. Noctune didn’t even care what was outside of his cell, his little cell, his only friend. Oh, and the chain. The chain was nice, always there for him, always wrapped around his neck, making sure he never left his friend’s side.
More cackling rained from all around. Noctune shivered on the inside, refusing to show any bit of weakness. He learned from his times in prison that if you were seen as the weak pony, others would go for you right away, trying to break you down with ways that would make even the worst kind of ponies disgusted. It made him disgusted.
Those were just ponies in the prison, Noctune hated to imagine what kind of demonic creatures would do to him if they saw weakness.
He began to curl up into his little ball, his head slowly falling back to hide under his right foreleg. Before he could, just like before…just like all the other times…it stopped him. The whispers, the voices, always talking to him, hissing in his ear like a serpent close to strike.
Not his voices…those had long since silenced.
But he could still hear it…the new voice…taunting him, nagging him, eating away at him.
Oh, how the mighty have truly fallen.
Noctune curled up as tight as he could, his left eye shutting as his body shivered in response to the wicked voice in his ear, refusing to leave his side. This was his torment, his hell, his unending nightmare. This…was his Tartarus.
“Leave me alone…” Noctune whispered, falling silent in his tiny cage.
From afar, the beast chuckled quietly in his own cell, his yellow pinpricks for eyes staring at the whimpering excuse of a stallion wet himself. He might be trapped for eternity, but at least he’d have some fun for the first hundred or so years.
He smiled. Oh, how Tirek hadn’t smiled like this in ages.

6163642 I know who Fracture is. But I didn't know Axor or Oilmaster. Perhaps they could get together. They could also come back and bring all the decepticons on the Alchemor with them. But what about Airazor and Divebomb?
And so the fate of the fallen tyrant leader of the AAA has been sealed. An eternity of imprisonment within the pits of Tartarus and to forever be tormented by Lord Tirek. Death would be an easy escape for him, he would accept it. His punishment must be more severe...
How does it feel now, Nocturne? To have grabbed all that power for your selfish needs only to have it slip out of your grasp. To be remembered as a broken traitor who almost destroyed his own kind. And to be tormented by the very villain that you couldn't even defeat before any of these event had transpired. Forever alone... forever tormented.... forever a disgrace to your own kind. Only when there is nothing left of you but a broken husk, will you then have my permission to die!
After all, there are fates much worse than death!

Noctune got off easy. Were it up to me:
Oh, don't act like you didn't deserve this, Noc-turd.
6164003 What is that from?
6164447 Transformers: The Movie. Blasted Quintesson judge sent a bot to death by Sharkticons.
6164571 OH.... yikes.
6164574 He should have taken a tip from the Warner Bros.
6164598 Hey could be worse... he could be made to be trapped in the Michael Bay-splosion universe.
6164877 Umm dude?
This is the last story in the series
Well I figured that Nocturne would be in Tartarus if he wasn't executed. Of course keeping him alive was the princesses last mistake. He will eventually break out and he will finish the job.
I'm hoping the last chapter isn't going to be as short as the others have been.
Death comes to all of us, Noctune. But a much worse fate is in store for you. For when YOU die, it will be...........without honor......

6163834 LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVEESSSSSSS!!!!
6163768 It's what he truly deserves.
6166300 I was actually thinking of making an execution chapter of Noctune getting hanged, but decided against it and just have him sent to Tartarus. After all, death would've been too merciful for him.
Noctune's fate is definitely worse than death. >)
Enjoy your snack Tirek!
