My name is Shadic. Midnight Shadic Blitzer. Pretty strange name, right? Well,
its my name that my parents gave me, so I'm okay with that. But that's not the point why I'm writing to all of you. Currently, I'm being hunted by everyone, including the Royal Princesses. They think I'm dangerous because of what I am. And they should be. I'm even afraid of the shadow that is hidden inside of me. But without further ado, let me explain everything
To give you a quick recap of how everything changed in one thousand years, I'll give you a quick story.
The early 2000s were the most brutal ones. Villain after villain started to appear, and time after time the heroes of Equestria had to stop them. After the events of the year 2020, things went bad... to worse. After ever invasion, the heroes started to become weaker and weaker as the villains became stronger and stronger. But then, what Equestria thought was the final battle, a chaos control erupted, and both evil and good disappeared. Equestria was without a hero. And its timing was bad, as now they were unprotected by a new evil who's name is unknown. The nation was torn apart, but thanks to the Resistance that formed, the evil was defeated. And so Equestria fell, and Moboquestria was born from the ashes. From that moment forth, we all lived in peace ever since.
In the year 2030, we got the surprise that both Celestia and Luna were married, Celestia to King Sombra and Luna to a stallion named Night Vision. Apparently the King Sombra we fought was a fake, and this new one is kind and loving. We all celebrated for the couple for days, for the separated family was united again. Years passed, centuries, almost a millennium passed from the year 2000, when the heroes were first born, but not a single sight of them we saw. But now its the year 3014, where this story begins with a boom
Tick Tock Tick Tock
And not just any boom, but with a explosion.
BOOOM!
Let's begin with a moonwalk dance back to a few hours in time, shall we?
Prologue: Part One: The Tournament
Dimension: 2(+1)-MMM-2-12
"Welcome everypony to the World Martial Arts Tournament!" A peach earth pony with golden hair said through the microphone as the seats were jammed with thousands of watchers as the arena below started to fill up with competitors. The crowd started to cheer as their favorite fighters started to line up in the field.
"I would like for round of applause for today it's the 1000th anniversary of this tournament!" The announcer yelled, and the crowd cheered. "And also give a cheer for our Princesses and Princes who for the first time in a long time have decided to join us in spectating this worldwide tournament!" The announcer said, and the crowd cheered and payed respect for Celestia, Luna, Sombra, and Night Vision, who were in the V.I.P section.
"I still hate it when it comes to receiving respect." Sombra muttered. Night Vision cheerfully laughed.
"Relax Sombra! It's not like the end of the world will come when you do accept it! Come on! Have some fun!" Night Vision said. Sombra smiled.
"Well that's why I'm here!" Sombra said with a smile. The announcer glanced at the fighters.
"Along with that, joining us are the winners of the past tournaments! Give a round of applause for the winners of the past tournament!" The announcer yelled, and the crowd cheered. "Also we got a bunch of new ones coming here so give a round of applause for their bravery for entering into this exciting tournament!" The announcer yelled, and the crowd cheered once again. Two young pegasus grinned as they warmed themselves up.
"Heh! Here we are sis! The world martial arts tournament." A blue male stallion said. This emerald eyes sparkled as he saw all of the competitors getting ready. His dark blue mane flowed in the direction of the wind, and he grinned. The colt's cutie mark was a emerald with seven precious emeralds. His sister was a cyan pegasus with rainbow hair and magenta eyes. Her cutie mark was a shooting purple star with a rainbow trail.
"This is going to be a breeze, right bro?" His sister said. The colt nodded.
"Right at ya Spark Dash!" The colt said. That colt was me. The young Shadic glanced at his twin, Spark Dash. "But I won't have mercy on you once we get to the finals sis!" I said back then. She raised her eyebrow.
"If. If we get to the finals, I won't show mercy either!" Spark Dash said. "For now, let's focus on the enemies that we'll be facing." Spark Dash said. Then the announcer came on and started to explain the rules.
"Since we have 1000 fighters, there will be various elimination stages that will make sure that huge number goes down quickly!
There will be 10 groups of 100 fighters. Each group will have a battle royale, in which competitors will be fighting until 50 are left. Those 50 will be split into groups of 2 until only 10 are left. Then all the fighters from the 10 groups will join to make 100 fighters, and the process repeats. Once 50 are reached, it's one on one! It's anyone's game. The only restriction is to not kill your opponent. Other than that, all is allowed, except for real dangerous weapons like guns or lasers. The groups will be separated base on their race and battle type. If time runs out before a match is done, then the judges will decide who should leave and who should stay. We got some cheat detectors so we'll catch you cheating if you do. Good luck!" The announcer said. The 1000 fighters were separated into ten groups. I remember grinning wildly as the countdown began for our group, which was first.
"Ready sis?" I said. Spark Dash grinned.
"Ready bro!" She said as we backed up into each other, standing upright, our backs against each other.
"GO!" The announcer yelled, and the battle royale began.
Fists collided with fists as the tournament picked up speed. We casually dodged the more weaker ones, which soon got knocked out by the more stronger ones. We split up, trying to head for the most strongest fighters. A black male unicorn turned around and saw me. He glanced at his partner, who was a male yellow pegasus. Based off their cutie mark, I could tell that one was a shadow type, and the other could possibly read my power level. I grinned.
"Hey! What does your ability say about his power level?" The black one said. The yellow one smiled.
"Heck, I believe some little boy lost their way! His power level is only 90!" The yellow pegasus said. The other laughed.
"90!? That low!?" The black stallion said as he laughed at me. I stared at him with a glare. He looked at me. "You made a grave mistake for sticking your head into the wrong battle kid!" The black one said. I grinned.
"Oh yeah?!" I exclaimed, and suddenly I felt a burst of energy inside of me as I increased my power. Everyone in the vicinity turned around, and my sister grinned as she saw my power increase.
"That's my brother!" Spark Dash said, before rushing to my side and power up along with me. Two columns of energy rose from where we were. The black stallion gritted his teeth.
"What are their power levels this time!?" He yelled at his friends. The other started to shake.
"Their power level is over 9000!" He roared. Everyone looked shocked.
"9000?! That can't be right!" The black stallion said. I grinned.
"Yeah, you ought to be afraid, considering your own power level is only 3000 at max." I said. They looked shocked at me as i guess correctly.
"W-who are you!?" The yellow pegasus said. I grinned.
"My name is Shadic, and me or my sister are going to be taking the crown today!" I said, before dashing at them. A huge gust of wind was formed as my speed increased. I stopped right in front of him, and lightly tapped him. He was suddenly thrown into a nearby wall, and fell unconscious.
"We're so doomed." A random stallion said...
We did face our own trials that day, but not to offend them, they were too easy. Their power levels were at most 5000, sometimes 6000, but with our 9000 level, they stood no chance.
"Welcome everyone to Stage 2 of the World Tournament!" The announcer announced. "If we weren't excited by the first stage, here is where you'll get it! This stage will contain the winners of the Preliminary Rounds, and now we're going into complete overdrive here! We've seen a bunch of strong fighters, but now it's time to see who'll win this epic event of round 2!" The announcer said. Me and my sister grinned. More powerful fighters? Bring them on!
We received some odd glances from the other fighters, as if they were sizing us up. A few glared at us, like as if they were jealous of being so agile and strong, but yet younger than them by years. I ignored them. What mattered was fighting.
Though there were others that looked as young as us. It seemed that every group contained at least 2 to 5 dominant fighters, while the others were okay. But it was these dominant fighters that got me interested.
"Hey sis." I remembered saying. Spark Dash nodded.
"Let's save these for later." Spark Dash said. I nodded.
"GO!" The announcer yelled, bringing forth the beginning of the second round. We stuck closer to each other, and started to eliminate the more weaker ones. Two pegasus tried to ram into us into both sides. We did a flip over them, and pushed them into each other, causing them to fall. The rest of the fighters seemed to be doing the same thing: Eliminate the rest of the weaker ones. I grinned as the number of fighters started to decrease even more and more. One punch after another, more and more started to fall. And I hadn't even used my abilities yet!
"And end!" The announcer yelled. "Alright! Now on to the 2 on 2 shall we?" The announcer said. I grinned. The fun was just really getting started.
"First up are the twins Rain Light Spark Dash and Midnight 'Shadic' Blitzer vs the polar opposites Heat Ray and Cold Wind!" The announcer yelled. We walked into the middle of the arena and got a glimpse of our first real challenge. They seemed to be twins as well. One was a male pegasus. His fur was orange, and his mane was almost fiery like. His cutie mark was a burning fireball. His 'twin' was a female unicorn. Her fur was light blue, and her mane was white. Their eyes were in this order, orange for Heat Ray, and cold blue for Cold Wind. I grinned.
"Good luck to you guys, cause you'll need it." I said. Cold Wind rolled her eyes.
"Don't get too cocky." Cold Wind said. We got into our fighting positions.
"And begin!" The announcer yelled, starting the match. We launched at each other, Spark Dash engaging Heat Ray, and me engaging Cold Wind. We started to attack each other. Cold Wind launched a fury of punches, and each time I blocked each one. I grinned as I saw a opening in her punches and sent a thick beam of wind at her stomach. She gasped as she was sent flying into the air. I raced at her, but then she used her teleportation abilities to get out of my grasp.
A numbness went through my body as I was hit by a cold energy beam. I gasped as I fell to the ground. Cold Wind walked over to me, smirking.
"Heh! Not even a minute and you're already down. Seems like you weren't as strong as they said you were." She said with a grin. I smiled too, knowing that she was now in my power.
"Are you sure about that, cause I can still fight!" I said, lifting myself up, while heating up my body. She lifted her eyebrows.
"Huh?" Her confused face was the sign that victory was surely mine. I cried out a war cry as a red aura encased my body. I grinned as I saw her shocked face.
"One wrong slip, and I might even accidentally destroy my body if I go too far. But here it goes!" I said as the aura disappeared for a moment as I charged up one final time.
"KIOKEN TIMES 4!" I yelled as my red aura came back, but even higher and mightier than ever. I grinned as the extreme amount of energy stabilized itself. Cold Wind looked in shock.
"What is that!?" She yelled in fear. I smiled.
"This is the Kioken. It's basically a energy multiplier." I explained. "It multiples power, speed, and all the other traits I used in battle!" I said. She immediately went into the defensive, now knowing how dangerous the technique is to her. "The good old Kioken, that's my trump card!" I proclaimed. She growled.
"So what you increased your power and speed? Talk about being useless. I could take you down, Kioken or not." She said. I grinned.
"Then let's kick this into round 2!" I yelled, before appearing in front of her. She widened her eyes, but before she could even do any move, I hit her in the stomach, causing her to become launched into the sky. She twirled her body as she fired multiple cold blasts, but I flared my aura, causing them to evaporate.
"What the-!?" That was all she could say before I appeared behind her and kicked her down to the ground. A crater was formed as a shock wave went through the arena. She barely got herself up, too tired to do anything. A second crater was formed as Spark Dash was able to kick Heat Ray into the ground. We did a hoof-bump (fist-bump?) as we celebrated. But then their energies started to skyrocket.
"What the heck is happening?!" Spark Dash said. I was confused. Hadn't we knocked them out to the point where they had no more energy left? Then it hit me.
"They must have been holding back on their power!" I yelled. Spark Dash cursed something under her breath. I looked at her.
"Wanna change sides?" I said. She grinned.
"Of course bro." She said, before two streaks flew towards us. Heat Wave and Cold Wind were now furious at being lowered at such extremes, that they were giving their all.
"Hey Heat Wave! You're my opponent now!" I said as I got into my fighting stance. The two streaks flipped and suddenly, they appeared right in front of us. I barely was able to block a fiery punch as Heat Wave attacked me. He started to attack with waves of fiery disks, each which I carefully dodged, trying to not get burned by their hungry flames. I charged at him, but with his newfound power, he evaded me and hit me in the stomach. I growled as I started to get burned. My Kioken was slowly slipping away.
"How do you feel now that we're the ones winning?" He asked as he punched me again. I grinned.
"Don't get too cocky!" I said, before appearing behind him.
"Let's see how you'll be able to keep up against your sister's ability!" I said, before covering my hoof with a light blue aura. I punched him in the arm, causing it to become numb. He growled.
"What!?" He yelled. I grinned.
"That's my ability! To copy my opponents moves!" I said, before launching dozens of cold blasts at him. He flared his fiery aura up as he charged at me, but I was already ready for that. With a single move, I made a cold shield barrier that when he broke it, he lost his fiery aura. I grinned as I teleported above him and did the finishing blow as I kicked him downwards, knocking him out of the ring. A few seconds later Spark Dash, using Heat Wave's fiery ability, knocked down his sister with a downward kick as well.
"Ladies and Gentlemen (Gentlecolts?), the winners of this first quarterfinals, Shadic and Spark Dash!" The announcer yelled, and the crowd cheered. I powered down my Kioken, saving my energy for later.
We rested a bit as we studied the rest of the rounds. Next up was the Fusion Pair, and while they didn't need to use their abilities yet, I was already able to tell that apart from being radioactive, they also could have a ability to fuse together from the fact of their seemingly stable but actually unstable energies. They easily were able to defeat some lower-class fighter that was lucky to had survived the previous rounds.
Then came the fight between Black and White vs White and Black. Apparently, as more generations passed, the number of people with black and white abilities (like shadow cloning or solar flare) increased as more and more ponies inherited these traits. They fought well, but White and Black lost to the Black and White pair as not only they were blinded by the White representative, they were being kicked around repeatedly by the black representative who could appear from their shadows. Not being able to see them, they lost.
Then came what appeared to be the more powerful versions of the fighters we had just fought, Volcanic Ash and Rapid Tundra. Unlike their weaker counterparts, they immediately went full power from the start, stunning their opponents long enough to knock them out.
Most of the rounds had various strong opponents taking each other down. When the number finally reached 50, it was go time.
"And now to begin the final rounds, let's start off with Shadic vs Radioactive!" The announcer said. I grinned. I stepped into the arena and went into my battle stance as I examined Radioactive. His aura was green-ish, though his original fur color was unknown, but it kept rotating from green to black. His yellow eyes faced at me as his horn flashed.
"You can give up right now if you fear for your life." Radioactive said. I grinned.
"If that's the case then show me what ya got!" I said.
"GO!" The announcer said. Radioactive charged at me, and we started to hit each other with powerful punches and kicks. We saved our energies as the fight went on. I decided to fly up into the air, only to realize that he was following me. I looked back. Didn't he only had a horn? I looked more closely and saw that his horn had disappeared, but now he had wings. I stopped myself in my tracks, which was a terrible mistake. He flew up a bit more higher, changed into unicorn form, and fired a massive energy beam at me.
I growled as I struggled to block the ray of energy as it pushed even further. He grinned as he saw me struggling to counterattack the blast.
"Is that all you got?!" He yelled. I grinned.
"Nope! Let me show you the..." I said, before showing him my hidden hoof, which now had a charged energy ball.
"...KAMEHAMEHA!" I yelled as I shot the energy ball at him, plowing through his attack and hitting him. A huge amount of smoke was formed as the energy ray hit him. When the dust cleared, he was panting. We both breathed heavily, but it was clear that I had the upper hand - I mean hoof. I grinned as I went into my Kioken state. But then his power started to increase as his body started to produce a huge amount of radioactive energy. I shielded myself with a ki barrier, just when he released it all in a explosion. I grunted as I poured a lot of energy into the shield. When the explosion was done, he was on the ground, unconscious. I had won.
"Well that was quite pathetic." My sister said as she passed right next to me, being part of the second round. "He could've done more better. Oh well. See ya in the finals." She said. I nodded.
The next rounds were...boring for some strange reason. They seemed dull as fighters fought against each other. I needed something else. Some type of real challenge.
I soon started to find the flaws in each fighter. Blackout, a fighter that can draw energy from opponents, and the one who fought my sister, drew too much energy and thus knocked himself out. Lightning Bolt, a female fighter, nearly fainted when she stepped in a water that had her own energy in it, and like any other appliance, nearly shut herself down. Volcanic Ash got too angry and got out of bounds, like Rapid Tundra, who went too fast when she dashed at me. I used her own speed against her and threw her out of the ring. Black and White tried to do a fusion dance behind the scenes, but they knocked themselves out. And so on.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! We had seen lots of rounds right now, but now, the fight for the championship is right here! Spark Dash vs Shadic!" The announcer yelled as they crowd cheered our names. I smiled. Here was it. The moment we've all been waiting for.
I met my sister at the middle of the ring and grinned at her.
"Ready to lose sister?" I said. She grinned.
"Oh I'm ready to win, by kicking your butt!" She yelled.
"GO!" The announcer yelled, and the final match began.
We powered up to the max we could in our base forms, before charging at each other. We yelled as we attacked each other with all the energy we had. Spark Dash formed a electric bolt of energy and zapped me. I used a water ability to absorb that energy, before launching it back at her. She then formed a shield made out of rock which blocked it. I charged and formed two balls of energy, one in each hoof, and slammed them together, making a huge energy blast of nuclear energy. I luckily made a shield to protect myself, and the blast hit her. She flipped around as she did the same attack against me by firing the two energy balls and fusing them into one, but I kicked it before it could make contact.
"How about we turn this into the next gear?" I said, before using my Kioken. She grinned as she flared her aura more. We started to clash against each other even faster than ever, causing mini shock waves around the arena. We shot at each other ki blasts and sent at each other waves of wind energy. She then appeared in front of me and started to send a fury of punches. I struggled to dodged each on of them, aiming to only block the most lethal ones that might deal too much damage. I flared my aura one last time.
"KIOKEN TIMES 5!" I yelled as I expanded my aura and my energy output. Spark Dash got pushed back a bit.
"Now it's my turn." I said as I launched towards her. I started to send a fury of punches at her, dealing high amounts of damage against her. I grinned as she got pushed back. Then she pulled out a Kamehameha wave at me.
"KAMEHAMEHA!" She roared as she launched it at me. I grinned as the final step of my victory was assured. I formed a large energy ball in front of me, which blocked the attack and absorbed it, gaining more energy.
"Take this sis! BIG BANG KAMEHAMEHA!" I yelled as I launched it at her, destroying her own energy ray and knocking her out of the ring. When she lifted herself up, she realized it was too late. She was out of bounds.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! I can't believe it! Give a round of applause to the winner of the 1000th World Martial Arts Tournament... Shadic!" The announcer yelled as they cheered on my name. I smiled, before dropping down to where my sister was. She groaned a bit as she rubbed her head. I smiled at her.
"Hey! Are you okay there!?" I asked. Spark Dash growled at me a bit, before smiling.
"Yeah, a bit dizzy, but okay. Nice round there bro!" She said. I smiled.
"Apart from me, there's no one stronger than you sis." I said. She smiled.
"But next time, I'll be the winner!" Spark Dash said. I rolled my eyes.
"If you can keep up." I said. We both laughed a bit as I picked her up. The announcer gave me the trophy, and oddly enough, 15 million bits! Apparently the winner of the Martial Arts Tournament wins that amount of money when they win. I smiled, knowing my parents would be proud of us, as my sister received 5 million being second place. 3rd received 1 million bits. I remembered that day as the happiest day of my life. Surely nothing can stop me!
Oh how wrong I would be proven.
Author's Note:
So I just realized I can move my chapters around.
Splendid. That means that one chapter doesn't have to be longer than this entire story when I get to Blue Com-
You know you can just read ahead and figure what I'm talking about when I edit everything.
