Mission T1. The Princess of Friendship Part 1

The chilling water pressured on Twilight as she was spat out of the slipgate’s vortex. The cold blue was all that surrounded her. The alicorn turned, looking to see the large sanctum the gate was mounted upon. She held her breath, looking around in panic. She partially expected the Ivotahnn outpost to be underwater, noticing the origin of the outpost being in the Celestia Sea.

However, she had no idea how to enter it. There was no apparent entrance and for all she knew, she was stuck down there. She grunted, clenching her eyes as she attempted to exude her magic. She knew a water-breathing spell, although she worried her body would be too weary to cast it.

Bubbles flew from her muzzle, a desperate look as her horn sparkled, zipped and zapped. She couldn’t concentrate with the pressure of the sea weighing down on her. Looking up, she could hardly see Celestia’s dim sun burning high over the water. She had to be dozens of meters below the surface!

She began waving her hooves desperately, hoping to swim to the air far above. Soul Cube! Help! Twilight internally pleaded as her arms heavily swam through the water. Weakness pulsed in her limbs as it felt like ages to the surface.

Twilight was confused as she felt a strong tug come from her saddlebag. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! She swam against the pulls of the Praeleanthor as it began dragging her down.

“You will drown trying to swim to the surface.” it replied as she felt her chest tighten from lack of air.

And I’ll drown being dragged further to the ocean floor! She responded, suffering from the pangs in her chest.

Her vision began darkening as the Soul Cube led her towards the palace, glowing in the saddlebag before a magical metallic door slowly lifted on the front of the outpost. As she was being dragged in, darkness greeted all her senses.

Twilight awoke, spewing water from her muzzle. She coughed viciously, croaking as she expelled all the liquid from her lungs. She took a long and relieving breath, a million lives returning to her as she looked around where the princess had awoken.

She was in the outpost now, drained of water. The alicorn turned her head, still coughing to see her entry point. The metal gate was open, revealing the sea’s floor. The water’s flow was halted by a blue magical essence, the source arriving from a bright blue crystal.

Twilight followed the trail of the aura that flowed up to the powered machine that laid in the center of the room. A platform cut out of a large crystalline formation with several stone and ancient metal arches reaching down, pylons jutting out with magical energy pulsating from it. The power crystal was attached to it from above.

Tons of old ponish runes sprawled across the walls of this ancient temple. Most of all, the many electrified arches were covered in text that repeated synonymous words. ‘Power’, ‘Strength’, ‘Ability’, ‘Speed’, ‘Efficiency.’ Tons of words under that sort of meaning.

This was it, she was standing before the only way to save Equestria, and her friends. The EPD. It was as described on the one-hundred and twenty-second page. Even with the horrors that were mentioned in the passages she read, the determined princess gave no heed. If this was her only way, she would endure it.

“This is what you have been searching for.” the Soul Cube stated. “Salvation. For your home and friends.” it spoke from the dropped saddlebag nearby.

Twilight shakingly rose to her hooves. A silent and determined look was plastered on her face. She was tired of running from the monsters.

“Step on the platform, and the rest will do its work.” it said earnestly. “I wish you luck, princess.”

The Princess of Friendship took a deep breath, closing her eyes. For them… she took several steps forward, opening her eyes as she climbed up and onto the platform. She stopped there, waiting for the device to begin its process.

She stepped back a moment at the sign of a panel slowly rising from the floor. The screen lit brightly with light blue font, a message appearing in old ponish. ‘Proceed with the process?’ she translated to herself after a moment. There was a green and red option on the screen, her assuming green was positive.

Hesitantly, seeing no other form of input, she placed a hoof on the yes button. ‘Are you sure?’ it queried.

Twilight clicked the green button once more.

She winced as she felt a shock travel up her front right hoof, shivering with pain as the electricity visibly shot up her limb. Twilight gasped as the flow rode through her foreleg and up to her head, stunning her for a moment.

Suddenly, a metal arm grasped around her neck. It was loose enough to breathe but tight enough to not break from. Her eyes shrunk in fear as she felt chains latch around her hooves, another one swooping down and taking a hold of her horn. She felt it tingle with jolts of energy that deactivated any of her attempts at magic.

She struggled for a moment, before a voice spoke from the panel with the text. “Please remain still. Testing sequences will commence in 3… 2… 1…”

Twilight twisted her eyes to reach her peripheral vision. She saw a tube extend from the ceiling, a trio of wires flowing down to her. On her left the same was present, advancing to the alicorn’s ears. She began wriggling as the wires approached her body. It was no use however, her head was made to hold still by the clasping hand.

The alicorn grunted in pain as she felt the metal drive through her ears, blood seeping out of them as she felt her eyes grow heavy. The pain began fading as her mind began pulsing with strange magic.

Her eyes flung open to a devilish looking sanctum, the surroundings off-putting her. There were bloody hooks swinging all around the barely lit room, the only true source of light being the occasional blood red torch in the large room. Crimson doused the floor and at the center of it all was a pedestal with a switch atop, marked with a skull.

Any other details of the demonic place were unviewable thanks to the darkness. She concentrated for a moment, her horn glowing alight with magic. The dull concussion in her mind that was present earlier had vanished, and with the light purple light she could see the details much further. She looked down at herself, inspecting her body. It had been fully healed, repaired from all the scars and damage.

The room was constructed from demonic brick, faces of horrid Hell races marking the walls repeatedly. Blood dripped and plocked the floor below, sizzling as it settled. Twilight’s dark gaze viewed the upper section of the wall, word’s catching her eyes. She froze at the sight of the names.

‘Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, Shining Armor, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence…’ the wall read the names of all her friends, peers, mentors, everyone she knew. They were marked and glowed with purple, reflecting her horn-light.

They were all depending on her… if she did not make it through whatever this was to become more powerful, then all these names would be forgotten. Cast to the void to never be remembered or recalled. Just fuel to these hateful animals.

She had to do this, whatever the task, she could not bear to see anymore of her loved ones be maimed by the demons. Twilight could no longer let it stand. It was her job, her purpose to save her friends at all cost.

With a long breath, she looked to the pedestal in the center of the dank room. On top of it sat a skull-tipped switch. Fear struck the mare only a minute once she arrived close, spotting the message beneath the switch.

‘Begin Trial’

Twilight took a long, focusing breath as she wrapped a strong hoof around the lever and yanked it as far right, from the direction it was stuck in before, as she could. An ear piercing scrape echoed through the room. With that, a gentle ticking commenced.

The alicorn jumped at the sound of magic behind her. She spun around, seeing a red portal humming its presence before her. Twilight Sparkle stepped back a moment, before what jumped out startled her a moment.

It was hardly a second as the Imp charged out of the portal, full speed. She felt the clawed hand of the monster scrape her neck, lifting her from the ground and preparing a handful of stabbing claws to be driven right into her stomach.

Before that could be done, she concentrated on a position a couple of meters to the left, flashing brightly before reappearing just there. The demon glanced around in confusion before spotting the alicorn, gasping for breath for the moment while preparing her next attack.

The fiery scratches on her neck sizzled with spare Hellfire as the Imp prepped yet another flaming attack. A flame ball was propelled at the purple alicorn, her just managing to duck out the way and advance to the relatively large demon. Catching her breath, she charged the beast on her wings.

She slammed it into the brick wall. It screeched in pain, beginning to claw at her forelegs. The still flying alicorn grunted and growled in the agony of the attacks before tossing it to the ground and driving both hooves into the monster’s skull. It cracked brutally, blood spewing everywhere.

She swallowed a moment, staring at the disgusting sight of the demolished skull with the cavities plunged between her powerful hooves. It didn’t squeak or crackle, lying still as the head bled.

Just as she was about to remove her hoofs, it grabbed her foreleg and drove a claw into her chest. She stared in horror as its hand easily drove through her hide, tearing the skin away and revealing her own bone and flesh.

“AH!” Twilight slammed her hooves again into the beast, lifting them once more and down. She hammered her hooves into the beast until it truly went limp. The remains of its head were a pool of crimson and bone.

She held back a gag at the horrid sight. However, she couldn’t dwell upon the gore for too long, the furious flapping of wings flanking her. She spun around, ducking under the wind of a swinging blade.

A Gargoyle greeted her with a roar, spitting a puddle of acid at her hooves. She danced out of the way of it, hissing in pain before being crushed to the ground with the weight of the flying demon’s body. She lay, winded on the floor, lungs searching for air as the Gargoyle landed on its hooved feet.

It advanced slowly, lifting one of its blade-arms down to the pony. Before it could swipe for the pony’s neck to finish her, Twilight lifted her left forearm to block the strike. She screamed in writhing torture as her hoof was sliced away, blood fountaining out of her artery. The hyper-aggressive demon gave no mercy, lifting its arm and slamming it down onto her head.

She gasped awake, back in the device she was connected to. She could feel the wires writhing in her ears, touching her mind. It was off-putting and chilling, but not too agonizing.

‘First test concluded.’ the panel read. ‘Analyzing results… 3% combat efficiency. Cause? Attacks are too slow and weak.’

Her forelegs were brought up into an uncomfortable position that made Twilight exclaim. The robotic hands held the legs in position far from the body, moving slightly down the limb to present the hooves.

“W-What is it doing?!” Twilight exclaimed.

“I warned you, Princess. The process is agonizing.”

The alicorn opened her mouth to reply, stopping at the mechanical whirrs of the machine that held her in its grasp. She saw several tubes connected to sharp needles flow down towards her, jabbing the pony all across the body. A glimmering dark purple energy sludged down, glowing bright. When entering her body, it felt like a million sun rays warming her.

She felt her body become more powerful, muscles strengthened. But soon her ears perked at the noise of roaring buzzsaws, descending on the only part that wasn’t connected to the tubes. Her hooves. She began screaming in terror. Twilight’s wails echoed through the room as they lowered halfway down her forelegs, tearing through her flesh and hide with intensity.

Blood and fur flew everywhere as Twilight’s eyes shut. She shouted for help from Celestia, begging her mentor for some sort of help with the pain. It was like her legs were the earth and the saws were a giant excavation team as they clacked onto her own bone.

Her blood caked her upper forelimb’s fur, painting it completely. It felt like the pain would never end, her sobs of suffering slowing. But finally, the spine-chilling crack of her hooves crashing into the stone floor below echoed through the room, detached.

She looked at her hoofless limbs, the pain still burning like the pits of Tartarus. Her tear filled eyes lifted to the sound of sparks and crackling, watching as the machine lifted a platform before her. A melted metal seeped down onto the slab of magic crystal, the metal arm above moving perfectly to drip the stuff into all the right spots.

Miraculously, as whatever it was creating was formed, the lower bits slowly began cooling off into solid steel. It created a plate of the formerly melted material, another robotic arm lifting it away to another table to assemble the item.

As it worked, the suffering alicorn realized what they were creating. A hoof shaped piece of metal with a little slit at the wrist of it.
