Chapter Thirteen- End of One Journey

Chapter Thirteen- End of One Journey

Things weren’t going exactly as planned for Watcher, but one thing he was sure of, was that Celestia was safe from harm. Even though the mare was quite the difficult one, he felt that he could trust her to follow his instructions and meet with him later in Everfree City. Now all he had to do was make sure that her tracks would be covered by tying up any loose ends before escaping himself. Even if it meant for him to leave the body behind before…

EEEEEEEEEKKK!” yelled a shrill voice, a mare local to the village having spotted Stellar's corpse.

“Oh, great…” Watcher moaned as ponies dropped what they were doing to come and investigate how their local innkeeper had died.

“He’s dead!” cried the tailor of the village, measuring tape still around his neck, “by The Order, did you kill this pony?!”

“Hold on, hold on,” Watcher cautioned, backing away from the cold stallion, “I can explain, everypony. Your innkeeper decided to try and hack me to pieces!”

Based on the terrified looks he was getting, his excuse wasn’t being bought in the slightest, “Like hell he did!”

The townsponies cornered Watcher against the side of the building, uncertain how he had managed to put a gaping hole through Stellar’s chest, but fairly convinced he was a murderer. The unicorn struggled to defend himself verbally, but the mob was getting more and more impatient with his “excuses”.

“Just let me defend myself!” he pleaded, wondering if the villagers’ frying pans and farming equipment were going to be beating in his skull soon, “Please!”

Right before the crowd could deliver a solid vigilante beating, a weak, gurgly voice called out to him, “Watcher…”

All heads turned slowly, color draining from the faces of the ponies present. Miraculously, Stellar had somehow managed to stabilize himself enough to prop himself up weakly on his front hooves, blood streaming from the sides of his lips. Small Pines had every eye on the pale, sickly pony, who now held a small orange tube in his right hoof.

“Catch...”

Stellar put all of his remaining energy into tossing the tube at Watcher, who was struck. It stuck to him, and unrolled quickly, revealing itself to be some kind of a magical scroll written in a language nobody present could read. The text on the paper glowed bright purple, before shooting up a ball of energy that popped and crackled in the air while maintaining altitude.

After that impressive display, the dying pony made sure Watcher made eye contact again with him before sputtering out his last words,

“He knoooooows!”

Watcher’s eyes widened as he began to push past the crowd of ponies and make his way into the forest in hopes of catching up to Celestia quickly. Unaware that the Sun Princess never left the inn, leaving Celestia alone. As the princess made her way downstairs, she noticed the destruction that had taken place between Watcher and the Order, taking note of the blood that was spilled on the floor, she couldn’t help but look on with disgust.

‘Please don’t let that be Watcher’s blood.’ She thought to herself as she made her way outside the inn, only to take notice of the ponies that began panicking, and she soon understood why they were acting that way. Seeing Stellar’s body lay in a pool of blood and glass shards all around him. ‘D-Did Watcher… Do this?’

“Excuse me? Miss? You need to leave now! There’s a killer on the loose, and the Order’s on their way here now.” A young mare said to Celestia before trotting off into one of the houses nearby.

“W-What has Watcher done?” She whispered to herself as she looked at Stellar’s corpse and soon began to gag. “I-I need to find him… Maybe he fled into the woods.”

Celestia didn’t know where her friend had run off, but one thing she did know was that he was looking for her, unaware that she had stayed to help him deal with some of the soldiers. All she could do was hope that she’d be able to find him soon. However, as she ran through the forest, she didn’t realize that something was watching her from above.


Elsewhere…

Midnight couldn’t help but glare at the magical image of Watcher and how he was able to best one of the Order’s best agents. It was mind boggling, but he was glad that Stellar had sent him and the other’s the coordinates necessary to continue their search for the traitors. Meanwhile, Stardust couldn’t help but feel a little envious of Watcher and how he was able to leave with Tia, thinking that the two are really together. She was definitely yearning for the same kind of commitment with her own lover.

“Midnight… Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, he’s your best friend right?” She asked, trotting up to him as he continued to glare at Watcher’s face through the magical aura.

“I am… Apollo is expecting results from us… And unlike the others, I want to end it as quickly as possible. Yes he was my friend, so it’s only right that I finish him off quickly myself.” Midnight replied, not taking his eyes off the magical aura that was within his hoof, before crushing it completely. “I’m not going to take it easy on him, just because we were on good terms at some point.”

“I hope this is the right decision Midnight… I really do.” Stardust said, following Midnight out into the clearing where there was a group of ponies dressed in robes and armor, carrying blades and magic items in hopes of capturing the Sun Princess. Soon the two were approached by a rather large earth pony wearing black armor.

“Midnight, Soul Writer has special orders for you to carry out specifically.” The stallion stated as Midnight stepped forward.

“What are they exactly?” Midnight asked.

“He asks that you bring Watcher’s corpse to the capital.” The stallion replied.

“Why?”

“As far as I know, he needs it for research purposes. A dissection, perhaps.”

“If you say so...” Midnight replied, raising an eyebrow, “I never thought they’d be taking Watcher apart on a table… not that he will be able to complain.”

“I’m not entirely sure why they want to examine his body, to be honest. He seems like any other ordinary unicorn to me.” The stallion replied, before noticing that the others had begun to leave. “I better let you complete your mission.”

Midnight could only scoff as he began following after his peers into the forest as Stardust followed suit. “Midnight, don’t you think this is suspicious?”

“Stardust… Listen, Watcher is a criminal now, and as much as I want to believe that he’s just being controlled, I know he isn’t. He truly believes that wench and now he has to face the consequences,” Midnight replied, running ahead of his marefriend as she only sighed, trying to remember why she was doing this.

“Alright, then I’ll leave him to you Midnight, I’ll deal with that fake okay?” She suggested, earning a nod from him as the two ran together into the forest as they begin their hunt.


Meanwhile…

“There’s nothing but increasingly thick vegetation,” Celestia grumbled to herself, each tree seemed to be actively trying to switch her body as she pushed past the springy branches, “I can’t believe there’s actually a city through this forest...”

Deciding that she was likely running too fast, she slowed her pace down to avoid getting herself roughed up any further. Now at a casual trot, the princess was able to more carefully navigate through the dense woods. Eventually she came upon a sturdy oak tree, a bit twisted from age, and stopped to check to make sure she was headed in the right direction. Celestia gazed upwards to track the sun’s path.

“The sun is still setting in the east, despite all the time I’ve been gone,” she mused, “but I suppose Watcher said the city is north, so that means I need to keep going...”

A rapidly traveling bolt of magical energy impacted the oak tree inches from her face, showering her in chunks of bark. Celestia let out a terrified scream, taking off in the direction she thought was north as she charged up her horn to defend herself. The nearby Order marksman, having missed his critical shot, cursed his luck and signaled the others to begin their attack on the runaway princess.

“Cut her off, then cut her down!” hollered one of the hooded unicorns, blasting away with volleys of energy that bounced off of the trees and brought branches down in crashing heaps.

Celestia took note that the shots were coming at a flatter trajectory, meaning her opponents were not above her head. She turned her head back while running and returned fire with her own horn, a beam of white energy cutting through a sturdy popular. The felled tree dropped down, cutting off the path through the forest behind her, which might buy her some time.

WATCHER!” she yelled out.

As luck would have it, her stallion had just managed to make his way north enough to hear the unicorn call out his name faintly. The sounds of explosions and magic going off made him quickly realize what was coming on, and he galloped for the location of the sounds.

She’s in trouble!

Tearing through the leaves and vines left and right with his bare hooves, Watcher forced his way through the underbrush to make it to Celestia, knowing that Stellar’s reinforcements were likely what was attacking her. When he reached where he had heard the magical explosions, he found Celestia standing near a tall, twisted pine tree with many dead branches jutting out, short on breath and covered in filth. The area around her was relatively clear otherwise for a few dozen meters, a patch of sunlight in the otherwise dark forest terrain.

“Celestia!” he called out to her, stepping out from the treeline, “Thank goodness you’re okay!”

She lifted a hoof at him, “Wait, don’t!”

A ray of dark energy smashed into the ground near Watcher, flinging him forward out of cover and knocking him on his front. The stallion grunted from the impact, and stood up as Midnight, Stardust, and their team of Order unicorns approached him, horns buzzing with energy and ready to go.

“It’s annoying to follow ponies, Midnight,” growled the stallion, his right ear flicking in frustration, “wasn’t one flank kicking enough?”

“You were lucky that time,” Midnight answered haughtily, “as you can see, I’ve brought twice the number of troops, some in the trees with rays of death prepared to hit you from beyond the range of your cute little sword spell.”

He took note of the soldiers in the branches, aiming at him carefully with their negatively-charged attack spells. They were surrounded by ponies this time, with no clear vector for escape.

“Stardust,” Midnight said, beckoning her.

“Yes, Midnight dear?” she asked.

He rolled his eyes, “Stardust, I want you to deal with the false princess. Forget about what Soul Writer wants. Watcher has refused arrest enough times, and I want him to suffer. Having to see his little marefriend destroyed by a real mage like yourself is ideal.”

“Would you at least act like you care about me?” she huffed in response, “Fine, I’ll deal with Tia. But then we’re going to talk, Midnight.”

“Just take care of it,” he said, dismissing her before turning to his stallions, “gents, keep Watcher from escaping, and do everything you can to keep that sword of his sheathed. I don’t want him causing any more casualties here.”

“Casualties?” answered Watcher, raising an eyebrow.

“Don’t play dumb,” answered his former friend, creating a dagger out of red energy from his horn that crackled with lethal power, “I never thought you’d bring yourself to do it, Watcher, but I was impressed with how you murdered that innkeeper. Now I’m going to make sure his death didn’t go to waste.”

Midnight pointed with his front hoof, “Snipers, put some holes in this traitor so that my knife can finish him easily!”

The stallions in the trees prepared to shoot, but just as they were about to cast, a pair of fast-travelling rockets about 8 inches long tipped with a plastic red nosecone smashed into the first sniper’s hiding spot, exploding the canopy in a ball of fire and panicking the other Oder troops into blasting in the direction of the attack.

“No, focus on Watcher!” Midnight snapped over the explosion’s rumble, “whatever this is, it’s just a distraction!”

Another pair of missiles smashed into the trees, followed by a third, splintering them and filling the air with splinters and the cries of the spell snipers being blown apart by the smashed timber. With just a few volleys the team had been reduced to the troops around Midnight and Stardust, Watcher seizing the situation to try and make it to Celestia. But Midnight countered with a small force field that knocked him back.

“Stardust, engage Celestia, we’ll find the third attacker and deal with him quickly,” ordered the unicorn.

“INCOMING!” shouted one of his stallions.

Another set of missiles was arcing up from beyond the woods, climbing to altitude before changing direction and plummeting back down on the team. Watcher looked on in amazement as the guided weapons slammed down into the ground behind his enemies, sending one of them flying with a terrified yell and creating a huge plume of smoke and dust. Seconds later, elongated yellow bolts of electromagnetic energy shot out from the smokescreen, plowing into one of the nearby troopers and sending him tumbling as the pulses riddled his body.

“Don’t rush the smoke!” said Midnight, turning to the rising cloud, “provide cover fire for Stardust while she claims the Princess!”

The stallions formed a line in front of Midnight and began shooting lethal purple spell darts and bouncing balls of green energy into the smoke, receiving return fire from the yellow blasts. Stardust raced over to the tree, ducking the hail of beams from the mysterious attacker and confronting Celestia.

“Hello… Princess!” she chuckled, “Are you ready to meet your end?”

“Stardust… please don’t do this,” begged Celestia, wide eyed as she slowly backed up away from the spiky pine tree, “we don’t have to hurt each other. There are other options!”

“I’m afraid if I ever want Midnight to treat me the way Watcher treats you… it’ll mean having to claim you as a prize,” she sighed, already preparing her first spell, “so it’s you or me now, Tia.”

Meanwhile, Watcher grew increasingly frustrated at the red-colored barrier that kept following him around, keeping itself in front of him and forcing him to watch as Midnight and his troops battled his unknown benefactor. Every time he swung his hooves or fired a spell off, it would just dissapear into the red, square void.

“That does it,” he muttered, eyes beginning to glow white.

The all-familiar sword of pure energy formed around his hoof, and Watcher buried the blade up to the hilt in the floating wall, cutting a hole through it. Despite this, he was forced to slowly cut through it, needing to split the barrier in half if he hoped to get through. As he cut like a sapper with a torch, he watched six pulses of yellow energy smash into another one of Midnight’s guards, the pony convulsing as the beams ripped into his innards and dropped him.

Finally, losing patience as well as his troops, Midnight flicked his neck sharply, and sent out a summoned tornado that blew away the smoke cover. Just as the whirlwind left, all that remained in visible range was a crater created by the missiles.

“Whoever’s there is in that foxhole,” he said, “let’s turn them into dust.”

A red orb of energy appeared on Midnight’s horn, before he launched it in a low trajectory into the hole in the ground. Right as the spell detonated and sent a column of fire up from the ground, the hole’s occupant jumped out with a smile on his face and determination in his bright blue eyes. A green colored stallion, with messy brown mane hair and an equally messy and frayed tail, was escaping the explosion with a tremendous leap. On his back was a metallic colored saddle, with hexagonal doors open on each side, a pair of strange weapons with a gunmetal barrel emerging from each one. From those guns came another set of blasts, which knocked out the two remaining stallions standing next to Midnight, before their owner landed on the ground ‘heroically’ and stood up to face the unicorn.

Midnight took a quick look around, all of his supporters save Stardust were now either dead, missing, or knocked unconscious… all because of this one guy who wasn’t any older than he was! Watcher had managed to break through his barrier as well, the sound of the barrier shattering mixing well with the fire coming from the pit in front of them.

“Who… who are you?!” asked Watcher, approaching with awe, “and why’d you help us?”

“I’ll explain later, let’s take out pompadour here first,” said the other young adult, pointing his guns at Midnight.

“Pompadour? Really?” grumbled Midnight, “I don’t know who you are, but I have no problems slaughtering both of you today.”

Closing his eyes, he concentrated hard, until two large swords made out of dark energy appeared at his sides, floating near his head and ready to slice through his enemies. The hum of dark magic could be heard nearby, and Watcher readied his own sword, his emotional determination to save Celestia stronger than his fear of the dark blades.

“So,” Watcher asked of his new ally, approaching from one flank, “how good are you in melee combat?”

“Terrible!” he answered with a half-joke and a half-smile.

As the stallions duked it out between them, Celestia and Stardust chucked powerful spells at each other in front of the gigantic dying pine tree. The pink-haired unicorn was barely able to get out of the way of a hail of golden colored magical knives that her opponent had chucked, doing a clever combat roll and returning with her traditional ray of light. Stardust was able to duck the beam, which bounced off of the tree behind them and burrowed into the ground uselessly. She followed up quickly by planting all four hooves on the ground in a braced stance and throwing out a graceful disk of energy which cut through the dirt floor like a sawblade as it headed for Celestia’s face.

“Stardust, stop!” begged Celestia, smashing the blade to pieces with a rock she threw with her telekinesis, “I don’t want to hurt you!”

“Then hold still and die calmly,” answered the other mare, a large blast of energy accumulating on her horn.

She fired the blast at Celestia, which exploded violently in front of her, tossing her like a toy to the ground, the gravel digging into her royal skin and her bones threatening to break. Stardust’s powerful explosion spell was her ace in combat, and she was no longer afraid to shatter Celestia if it meant victory. She began pooling together the power for another shot to blow up the downed princess…

Watcher clashed blades with Midnight, his glowing sword of white light crashing into his red and black swords with flashes and sparks of energy being thrown everywhere. Once in a while the newcomer would throw in shots from his cannons, but eventually after seeing how Midnight could block his blows with his blades, charged in to strike at Midnight and interrupt the swordfight. His guns retracted into his saddle with a mechanical whir of motors, and from the bay doors emerged a new gadget: a pair of thin robotic arms jointed and tipped with metallic hands that soon clenched into a pair of fists. The machinery seemed to obey its master’s thoughts as he galloped in and threw a wild punch at Midnight, striking him on the side of his barrel. His enemy’s swords were turned on him, but the lightweight nature of his saddle let him float around in combat and avoid the swings, the lethal energy coming just inches from his face and raised fists.

“What a weird machine,” commented Midnight, having to bring a sword back with his mind to block Watcher’s next blow, “do you really intend to punch me to death with that? It’s useless!”

Watcher brought his sword back with his hoof and brought it down in a massive overhead swing, forcing Midnight to turn to the side and bring both of his swords up in an X pattern to catch the blade. This gave the machinist plenty of room to put one of his extended fists right into Midnight’s right cheek, a droplet of spittle flying out. In retaliation, the unicorn slashed his right sword wildly, and the blade went right through the left robotic arm, severing it with a spray of electricity and leaving behind a bundle of red, blue, and yellow wires on the metallic stump.

“Worth it just to hit that punchable face,” said the inventive pony plainly, backing up and stowing the robotic arms, his saddle closing up to go for another weapon.

“Let’s see how you feel about that when you’ve been impaled,” answered his opponent, before noticing just how much blood was starting to pool in his mouth.

The unicorn became slightly ill and spat up a good mist of red from his lips, coughing to try and get it out of himself. Watcher and his ally met together near him, and walked forward with the intent to finish the job if they couldn’t negotiate surrender.

“You’re worse off than you think, Midnight Blaze,” warned Watcher, his sword floating near his side when it couldn’t hook onto his hoof, “I think he might have broken your jaw. If you stand down, we can work something out...”

Near the tree, Stardust had finished charging up her explosion spell, an orb of boiling hot plasma floated above her head four feet wide. She watched as Celestia slowly opened her eyes, the princess shot up like a rocket in surprise at the power of the spell, but she was too weak to move very far and she wobbled on her hooves.

“This is it, Tia!” Stardust yelled, sweating beads from her sneering face, “You’re mine!”

The mare charged, pointing her head down and preparing to launch the energy ball right into her. Celestia reacted quickly, and her horn spread an umbrella of sparks to form a fuschia bubble shield right around her just as Stardust reached her intended range. Unable to control the spell any longer, Stardust fired it off, her spell blinding her from seeing Celestia’s barrier two feet in front of her. A massive explosion rocked the forest, catching the attention of the stallions.

STARDUST!” cried Midnight.

The concussive blast shattered Celestia’s shield, but most of the energy was directed back at Stardust. She was knocked back with the force of a hurricane back first, and her throat ran dry as her body smashed right through one of the dead branches of the ancient tree behind her. Stardust felt her own liquids pool in her mouth, her lungs were ruined and her ribcage shattered from her back impacted the tree trunk. Celestia looked up, her face and body badly burnt from the hit, but her joy in surviving the blow was replaced quickly with sadness at the sight of Stardust impaled on the branch, her expression permanently frozen in a gaze of regret and guilt.


“I… I’m a murderer,” she blubbered, tears welling up in her eyes.

That was the least of her worries though, as now a furious Midnight was charging her with his blade’s drawn and ready to claim her head. A million insults and statements ran through the unicorn stallion’s mind, but all he could do was let out a furious yet miserable cry of pain and fury as he brought the blades to his front to run Celestia through.

The inventor, hoping to do something, brought out of his saddle the missile tubes that had launched his earlier salvos. But just as he was about to lock on, he was taken aback by Watcher, whose eyes were beginning to change. The stallion’s eyes were narrowing in a reptilian manner, turning red as they did so, and black energy crackled from the organ on his forehead. He vanished in a blink of light, teleporting himself in front of Celestia and raising his sword up and over.

Midnight was furious that this beta class student dared to try and stop his vengeance, so he pushed his twin blades together, which merged into a single weapon of dark energy. Watcher’s own blade was beginning to change as well, turning into a crimson red that bled droplets of an ichor like substance.

“WATCHER!!!!” screamed Midnight, pushing the blade right at his former friend’s heart.

In one motion, Watcher slashed from left to right, a wave of powerful energy coming from out of the enchanted blade. The sword never even physically touched Midnight, but the crescent shaped field burrowed past his sword, shattering it, cutting through the air and earth in front of him, and finally slashing right through his cheek, front, and right hoof. It left behind a horrible orange glowing wound like molten metal, Midnight wailed and stumbled back, his nerves firing continuously with the worst pain he had ever experienced. He decided, barely able to stand, that he could still kill Watcher though, and his broken dark blade levitated in front of him, creating the perfect blast of deadly shards if he could release them.

But he never got the chance. Just as he went to cast, the badly burnt Midnight was struck by a final pair of rockets, causing him to disappear in a blast of fire and concussive force. A blue and red column of smoke poured out from a crater. Watcher’s eyes returned to normal, but his dripping sword stayed red as it vanished into thin air.

“What… what did I do to Midnight?” he stuttered, before catching sight of Stardust’s impaled corpse.

“Oh no… I…” trailed the unicorn, “Stardust… I’m sorry.”

“I k-killed her,” Celestia bawled, tears running down her face.

Watcher turned to face her, rubbing her tears from her eyes with his hoof, “You only did what you had to, Tia. We all did. Like I said, sometimes ponies just die, and I’d rather you be okay than somepony trying to hurt us.”

Celestia nodded slowly, “I suppose, before all this, before the time I came from… there were lots of times where ponies had to kill to survive. I had just forgotten how horrible those were. The days before… harmony.”

What does she mean by that?

The stranger in the green coat limped his way over to the two, trying not to breathe the Midnight-flavored smoke. He was a bit roughed up, but probably got away cleaner than anypony else.

“Oh, thank you kind stallion!” Celestia beamed, smiling weakly, “I don’t know why you decided to help us, but thank you! I’m sorry you even had to get involved in any of this.”

“Yeah, thanks for the assistance,” Watcher added, “I guess we owe you one.”

“Well,” he answered, smiling back, “anything to make The Order come to an end.”

The black stallion chuckled, “If you had told me that last week even, I would have clobbered you for it. But now I now know that the Order has been lying and are trying to prevent Celestia from reappearing.”

“Is… is it true then?” asked the inventor, stowing his saddle’s weapons with a click, “is that the Princess Celestia?”

“Yes this is the real Princess Celestia herself.” Watcher replied, smiling.

“And who might you be?” she asked of him.

He answered with a soft tone, “My name is Techorse. I watched you guys come to Small Pines with a little butterfly drone I built to give me some eyes outside of my home in Everfree City. I got the message that a ‘false princess’ had appeared, so when I saw The Order show up, I figured you were it. I didn’t know you were actually Princess Celestia!”

“Why did you decide to risk your life saving us?” she continued to query.

The inventor rubbed his neck with a tired hoof, “It’s a really long story, but I’ll be happy to explain everything once I get you to Everfree City. You guys can stay at my place!”

“So… Wait… Is Techorse really your name?” Watcher asked, raising a brow as he tried not to laugh. “It’s… Different.”

“Oh Watcher, behave!” Celestia groaned.

Turning a bit red, Techorse muttered, “My dad’s name is Workhorse and my mother’s name is Serendipity. It’s a family name. You can call me Tech if you want, Watcher.”

“I’m just being a jerk,” he answered, shaking his head.

After thinking for a moment, he became more serious, “Hey, Tech… listen, can you take Celestia and go on ahead to your place in Everfree? I… Need to take care of something.”

Tech could tell he was staring at Stardust’s lifeless body, and respectfully replied, “Will do. I’m sorry things couldn’t have been a bit cleaner today.”

“But things will get better,” comforted Princess Celestia, hope in her eyes, “for all of us, Watcher.”

“I hope so Tia…” He whispered as he watched the two go on ahead, leaving him alone with the remains of his only friends. He couldn’t help but cry as his own magic began to change to a dark red aura as he levitated Stardust’s body off the tree branch and brought her into his hoofs. He couldn’t help but hold her tightly in his arms as he wept.

‘Damn it all… why does everyone I know leave me?’ He thought to himself, unaware of the change in his eyes as he felt like he was stabbed a thousand times after seeing Stardust like this. It frustrated him and he couldn’t help but feel anger from within him, wanting to hate Celestia for killing her. ‘I shouldn’t hate her… but first Midnight took her… Now Celestia took her from me… If I had only told Stardust how I’ve felt… I would have… Maybe had a chance with her.’

He didn’t want to leave her out in the open, so he decided to carry her body on his back as he began to take her in the opposite direction of where her allies were going. Not wanting to speak to them for a while, he carried far away from the battle field. Wanting her to be somewhere where she could rest peacefully. Once he was far enough away, he used his magic to create a crater big enough for her to fit in. He placed her down gently with his hooves in the crater and started to fill it with dirt.

“I’m sorry…” He whispered to her as he placed a large stone with Stardust’s name on it.

Author's Note:
