(Heavens throne room)
Mathias Wakes up Laying on the floor of a completely white area. A small fog rolling around on the ground making things seem serine. Knowing where he is the male merely gets to his feet and slowly but surely limps his way aimlessly forward towards what appears to be a woman merely smiling at him. Knowing where he was Mathias walks towards the figure before finally stopping and looking into her eyes. The woman before him had the purest shade of cream white skin that seemed to glow with the soft light illuminating the area. Her midback length silver hair having a sheen to it as it softly blew in the breeze making it seem softer then even the purist silk. Her eyes a gorgeous shade of Royal purple stare into Mathias's own stormy sea green and her pouty lips split into a tender and happy smile.
Mathias drops to his knees and bows before the woman as if prostrating himself before her. Mathias Taking what strength he has to lift the chaos blade and set it's blade into the floor making him seem like a Knight before his queen Mathias speaks to her.
"It is good to be here once again my lord. What job have you called me for?" Mathias says to his god. His whole reason for being.
"Rise Mathias, I have no job for you. Merely a reward. You have earned this more then any other." The woman spoke in a voice that seemed to hold nothing but love.
"I am not worthy to receive gifts from you lord. I am merely an abomination unworthy to even kneel before you." Mathias exclaimed showing his vast amounts of self hatred.
"Oh hush Mathias. You've been my chosen soldier since i first saw your aunt bring you to America before it was destroyed by war. Now rise off your knees and take this reward or so help me i'll send you back in time to the void and make it all pastelly again!" The lord said annoyed at her chosen soldier wishing he'd stop with the self hate.
"Dear you, That is seriously the most evil fucking thing you could ever do to ANYONE!. I'd rather go through hell and fist fuck the devil to death bare ass Naked again." Mathias says standing up immediately.
"Good, Now then your reward. . . .is your eternal peace in your own personal heaven." The lord said with a happy smile at the man before her as he looked at her rather confused.
"No thank you lord i do not wish for my reward. I haven't earned the right to eternal rest nor peace. Besides i certainly don't deserve to go to heaven. Wheres the lever i pull to go to hell?" Mathias says looking around himself for it only to get clubbed upside the head by the lord who's hand is in a chop formation with steam rising from her hand as Mathias has a sizeable bump on his head.
"I said shut up and take your heaven Mathias. You have earned it and that is final. You have done so much for me and the balance of all things. You above all others deserve to finally rest in peace. Only you wont really be dead." The lord speaks with a smile as she looks at Mathias slowly getting to his feet again.
"What? What do you mean? the only way to get to heaven of any sort is for you pass on and die. How can i get to my heaven without death?" Mathias asks a bit confused.
"Really? You really have to ask that when speaking with me?" The lord says kind of annoyed once more.
"Oh . . . you mean you're just gonna send me there? Wait i thought a physical heaven was never truly achieveable unless it was one ofthe 13 untaintable realms. Just as physical hells are only possible with the 13 Uncleansable worlds." Mathias asks confused about this.
"Yes thats true mathias and you have earned the right to go to the purest and most fitting realm of the untaintable. You are going to a world i made absolutely perfect in every way. Balanced in all aspects of good, evil, black, white and everything inbetween." The lord spoke proudly as she imagined her chosen finding true happiness there. She knows he deserves it after everything he has been put through and all that he has done for her.
"R-Really? . . . Lord you make no mistakes and surely have chosen this realm for me but . . . .i don't really think i deserve it." Mathias says looking down to the floor. Knowing who his father was and how he came to be born into existance makes Mathias feel that nothing he does will make up for those facts.
"Hush child. You deserve this trust me. The relam that i chose as your personal heaven is a realm known as Equestria. You'll love it. You can finally have and fufill that dream you've always had since you were a soldier in world war 2." The lord says turning to Mathis showing him the image of a world much like earth.
"I see. . . wait equestria? Strange i can't really remember but i know i heard that name before from somewhere. What should i expect here? What are the humans like?" Mathias asks curiously.
"Oh humans don't exist in this world or realm. It is linked to one that does have humans who are also one of the untainted realms. But you wont be going to that one." The lord says with a smile.
"Wait no humans? . . . can i ask why there are no humans?" Mathias asks pokin the image of the world before him.
"Oh i had them all killed off is why." The lord said not feeling the least bit phased.
". . . and why didn't you tell me?" Mathias says a bit angry.
"What?" The lord says confused.
"Why didn't you tell me you executed all human life? I COULD HAVE HAD SOME REAL FUN HELPING WITH THAT." Mathias says rather loudly at the missed opprotunity to have some fun killing them all.
"Because they were far to corrupt and evil. They were risking tainting the realm to the point your father would have been able to get in. . . .I couldn't send you there or that would have been a certainty. . . so i used someone else to do it. Although when you show up to that world . . . .prepare for a fight. One of the most savage, Bloody, energy draining and near endless battles you have ever faced will be had." The lord said gaining mathias attention.
"Oh and why so?" Mathias says crossing his arms hoping this was going to be a good one.
"Simple. I had the one i used to kill the humans curse the corpses so that if a human was ever to once again show up for any reason the dead rise and hunt it down to kill and devour it. The only way to stop one of the raised is to kill them. And well . .. your current asswhooped state is enough to draw them to you like flies to shit." The lord said only to have mathias finish her thought.
"And with your blessing rune on my soul every one of those bastards i kill will heal me. But to a certain point i'll be fully healed and be able to simply wipe them all out like nothing considering my skills, magic, power and even the energies i have saved up. How long will the fight last my lord?" Mathis says a bit confused before asking seriously trying to get a number on the enemy he'll be facing.
"Oh nothing to serious just about 20 million. . . .i know it's a bit large in number but hey they wont all come at once. At most you'll be facing off against 95 thousand first hand in the area you're going to be dropped. It'll take them a few months to get to you but those 95 thousand will be dealt with easy enough as you gain your strength. The rest will show up as if they were merely a trikling creek or a babbling brooke. Rather then the open floodgates of 95 thousand you'll have to face your first time." The lord says with a smile as she merely pokes mathias head.
"And just so you know mister i'm always watching so i'll know if you're upset or not doing as you should. It's your heaven and always remember what i taught you. Love is everywhere. You can find love in everything and everyone No matter the species so long as they are Sapient. So just because no humans exist doesn't mean you shouldn't find a nice mare to settle down with and love so you could raise a family." The lord says snapping her fingers making mathias glow white before he dissapears. The only thing leaving mathias mouth was a quick "Wait, what?" before he had been teleported to his heaven. The lord merely smiling as she taps on the world image she made bringing up a zoomed in image of the area she sent him.
(Equestria, Everfree forest Enterance path 2 miles in.)
Trotting Through the forest Rarity and spike had Split up to better hunt for gems for her dresses and suits Knowing that forest emeralds and Amethysts were going to be the hot ticket item this season. Rarity hears a rather large boom which knocks the earth aroudn abit causing some tremors. Looking around She begins getting a bit cautious.
"Oh dear, I better be careful. Who knows what could have caused that. Best steer clear. Hmm i wonder how Spikey wikey is doing since we split up. I hope nothings gotten to him." Rarity says a bit worried about her little dragon friend. She sees him like a little brother or a son. She shivers at the cold that suddenly cascades over the forest before shivering. Deciding it's best to hurry up she heads towards where Spike went in the forest which was towards Zecora's to see if she knew anything about where to find the gems.
Rarity hears some bushes rustling and begins to quicken her pace hoping to catch up to spike and get out of the forest to try again tomorrow for the gems. About halfway towards Zecora's Rarity see's something that makes her stop. A rather large bipedal creature wearing torn and tattered clothing looking to be in some seriously bad shape. Taking a step back Rarity carefully looks at the thing infront of her.
Mathias merely walks through the forest looking around holding his already very injured body. His left ribcage being perfectly visible to the naked eye due to the fight with his mother. His lungs breathing in and out even showing themselves to expand and contract as he breaths. Each drawn in breath feels like he's inhaling the hottest flames feeling his lungs burn with each time he draws in oxogen. His right cheek missing showing some teeth and gums as he bleed from his wounds. His bones broken and aching as every step he takes is hell on his body. Seeing something jump back and begin walking away Mathias sees what he startled. A cream white Furred Unicorn with Lavander purple hair and crystal blue eyes with three Diamonds on her flank. The male stares at her with a slight embarrassed look on himself knowing he must look like a monster.
Mathias merely looks at her some more thinking to himself. "Alright ,This is a unicorn. A mstical creature of intense and near unmatchable magic power who can literally in this state kill me with her brain. Fuck she's a beautiful creature." Mathias shakes his head some of his thoughts before speaking. Hoping that she would understand him.
"Hey you, Can you understand me? If you can Would you mind doing me a favor?" Mathias asks The unicorn who merely goes wide eyed before shrieking a bit as her horn charges with a mystical blue aura the same color as her eyes. A magical blast towards him and Mathias dodges as quick as he can by rolling to the left then to the right as she blasts him.
Rarity immediately freaks as the thing infront of her speaks some foreign language she doesn't really know not really knowing what it wanted. All she picked up was "You'll taste the bloddy hatred." from it as he takes a step towards her. She merely fires more magical blasts towards him making him duck and dodge behind a thick tree.
"Ahhh stay back you horrid creature. I'm not tasting anything you have to offer. The nerve you have." Rarity says as she destroys the tree making it only a smoking stump. Mathias looks towards her only hearing a bit of what she said slightly understanding her. She has a bit of an accent to her voice Mathias thinks might be european. He only knows Three European dialects hoping that maybe she can understand one. He looks over the stump to call to the Mare only to see a pack of wolves made of wood charging rather fast towards them both.
"Cas timpeall Bhean Deas" Mathias shouts in Italian hoping she could understand that and turn around to see the wodden wolves. Only to have her charge her horn with a magical aura before firing a few magic blasts towards him making him retake cover behind the tree stump. The white unicorn merely hmphs thinking about how this creature knows how to speak another language as she continues firing magic blasts towards the stump in the hopes of keeping the creature away from her as to stop him from "Stripping her flesh" As she heard him say. Although her italian is rather lacking and rusty.
"Drehen Sie sich um hübsche Dame." Mathais shouts towards the white furred Unicorn only to get a raised eye brow at the third language spoken to her as to her it sounds as if he just said "Salt the wound." The unicorn continues firing magic blasts towards the tree stump Mathias is hiding behind unaware that the wodden wolves are closing in faster then before with one leaping out towards her from behind her right side. Mathias's eyes go wide with fear for the mare knowing she'll die if he doens't do something so he decides to speak the only other language he knows praying she understands him.
"Grr, Tourner autour Jolie Dame!" Mathias yells to the mare making her eyes widen in horror at the words. Knowing french perfectly well she immediately heard the warning plain as day. "Grr, Turn around Pretty Lady!" Rarity turned her head to the side to look at what was coming only to see a metal knife rather large in size fly by her turned muzzle and ram into the wooden wolves skull sending the beast flying backwards only to be followed shortly by Mathias who immediately proceeds to rip it out of the beasts skull before kicking, punching and beating down the wolves tearing them to pieces and scattering the remains of thier wooden bodies. Mathais turns to face the white unicorn one more time who merely stares at him in his curent state wondering how he could be alive given his grevous injuries. She takes a step towards him and mathias steps backwards with his hands up in a surrender motion.
Rarity looks at the human and his injuries seeing he must be in intense and unbearable pain to even be breathing let alone what he just did to save her life. Rarity walks up to him once more making the creature step away from her again only to bump into a tree behind himself. Knowing she has him cornered she leans in and gets a good look at the creature before her. She sees he has slightly peach tanned skin, gorgeous silk soft sapphire blue shaded hair. His teeth although terrifying due to them being daggered like a sharks are pearly white and perfectly clean. His stormy sea green eyes show submission and worry letting her know he means no harm. Rarity looks him over and sees entire chunks of missing flesh and horrible injuries which beings her to nearly puke her guts out. She holds off on it and merely looks at him.
"Uh I don't know if you can hear me but thank you . . . thing. Uh i can't really understand you but do you need help?" Rarity asks him thinking it can somewhat understand him due to him speaking four languages three of which she knew. 2 of which she only gets snippits and the last she speaks fluently.
Mathias looking at her has a hard time remembering all the french and just proceeds to see the worry in her face as she looks his wounds over. He gets the gut feeling she's worried and asking if he needs help. Never having let him down before he follows his gut and merely gives a soft shake of the head indicating "No" to her making the unicorn smile slightly.
"Well alright if you say so. . .. but you really look to be in bad shape . . . .I'll maybe come again and see what i can do for you. Or maybe one of my friends. Will you . . .stay in the forest or come with me?" Rarity asks abit worried the thing that saved her might die in this forest. Seeing the creature before her merely pat her head being careful of her horn she smiles some and looks at mathias as he just dissapears in a blur of speed she didn't know he could muster. She looks around and just sees and hears nothing. She just sighs some and begins trotting towards the forest entrance to meet with spike.
Rarity has been running for a few minutes slowing down to catch her breath as she sighs in relief that she had gotten back to town safely. Soon enough Spike comes walking out of the Everfree forest with a slight blush to his face and a smile. Behind him is a sac full of gems and a potion. Rarity looks at spike and gives him a gleeful smile and cheer.
"Oh spike i knew i could count on you. What kind of gems were you able to find?" Rarity asks hoping he was able to find and dig out the right ones.
"Well, Rarity battleing my way through the forest and making sure i had cleared the area of things that would be a threat to Zecora i Made to talk with her for a bit. We had a few good laughs when i asked her where to find Forest emeralds. She led me to a cave where they were still pretty hard to find but i managed to get a lot of them." Spike says puffing out his chest trying to make himself sound manly. Rarity giggles at his attitude while Spike just chuckles before coming clean.
"Kidding rarity, I just made sure to clear out some tiny local pests with my fire and Zecora took me to the cave to find them. They were hard to dig out and hard to find but the cave was filled with nothing but them. I couldn't get amethysts though." Spke says a bit discouraged.
"Oh spikey wikey it's okay the forest emeralds are enough for now. I can get the Ameythsts sometime tomorrow or friday at the end of the week okay?" Rarity says rubbing the drakes head earning a blush from the drake. He smiles and nods some as Rarity and him head back home. In the shadows of the trees something is seen moving rustling the bushes and disturbing the leaves only to then vanish.
Rarity was currently at home thinking about what happened in the forest with the strange creature. Thinking back to when Twilight told her about the Humans in canterlot High school She draws a lot of Similarities. Her eyes flash with recognition and she bites her lower lip hoping that The human is alright. She will have to wait till tomorrow to talk to twilight about the happenings in the forest today.
(Everfree Forest.)
Wandering through the thick brush of the forest he's currently in Mathias feels he needs Rest. Using his tracking and Marine training he soon finds himself at a small little grotto nestled in a quaint little clearing. A medium sized lake Being fed with water raining down from a waterfall which seems to sparkle in the night sky like Diamonds and liquid silver. He smiles happily at the scene while the Fireflies and torchbugs all light up the sky with a mozaic of lights and chatter. Seeing a small cave Nestled into the mountain near the lake Mathias decides now is as good a time as any to rest and promptly collapses inside the small cave sighing heavily with relief that he can finally rest his weary and utterly broken body. Unbeknownnst to him A thin trail of his blue Shaded blood leaving a rather long and winding trail directly to his location from the entrance to the forest lays in wait to be found. His blood glowing a slight azure blue burning the trail into the earth itself. Mathias knows he'll be asleep for a long time Atleast a few weeks hopefully nothing too serious happens while he's out. If this realm is to be his heaven then he'll need to defend it to the best of his abilities. As conciousness finally gives way to the realm of sleep Mathias passes out into a black dreamless sleep for the first time in millenia. His last thoughts before the realm of sleep take him are of the Unicorn he saved And how she showed worry and care for him after only knowing him for only a few short minutes. A smile etching itself onto his face as this enters his mind. His body goes slack and his breathing nearly stops. Mathias has slipped into his coma.
(Carosell Boutique a week later.)
A full week has gone by without any knowlege of the creature Rarity saw that day. She had spoken to twilight and the others hoping maybe one of them would have known but not even Fluttershy knew what it could have been. Especially with it surviving the way it was missing so many pieces of itself. Twilight went and wrote to her friend Lyra from Canterlot who moved to Ponyville shortly before Twilight herself did. The two got to talking and Rarity had discovered that the creature she saw most remsembles a very ancient and extinct race known as Humans. She was right in her assumption that It was a human based off what twilight had told her and the others from her time in Canterlot High with The human versions of themselves.
Thanking Lyra she gives her all the information she could regarding him. His strength, his power, reaction time and speed as well as where she had bumped into the creature. Hoping maybe, Just maybe, she or herself could find him sometime soon and birng him aid. Keeping the information between themselves the rest of ponyville is unaware of him and that is how twilight wishes it to stay for now. Rarity had been out a few times on scouting parties with fluttershy to find him and during the trip found the amethysts she needed and sighed knowing that it was possibly the last time she'd see the creature. Fearing the worst she feels the human may have died.
Shaking the htoughts form her head she just sighs leaving the house to meet up with the others. Twilight had left ot take care of something in canterlot and would be back soon. Hopefully it would help fight off this Tirek Character who's been hiding and stealing the magic of everything around to make himself more powerful.
As Rarity comes face to face wit hthe others infront of Ponyville Tirek is there with Discord ready for some kind of scheme. As Rarity and the others try what they can to defeat Tirek Discord uses his magic to stop them all and Tirek Absorbs all there Magic leaving Herselfm herfriends and the entirety of Ponyville feeling drained and colorless as they barely have the energy to move at first.
As Tirek laughs at his victory Dicord soon shivers rather strangely and immediately hides behind the downed Mares calling Tirek.
"Tirek we have to go now. He's coming and he wont be to happy we're doing this. It's dangerously close to tainting Equestria." Discord said in a rather worried tone.
"Oh hush Discord we have successfully absorbed all the magic in equestria and nothing here can even comprehend my i mean Our power. Nothing will be able to stop us." Tirek says looking at Discord cower like a child.
"No Nothing here in equestria but what's coming isn't from equestria. I sense his power. I sense his magic and the displacement it can make. I'm actually worried he may be able to stop us." Discord says as Tirek Laughs at this.
"What ever. I'll show you nothing can stpo us not even this . . .what ever it is that's got you so worried." Tirek says before he walks over to the downed Elements of Harmony.
"So which pony do you want first? I'm sure they are nice and ready for us to have some fun. Not like anyone can stop us." Tirek says reaching over and grabbing Rainbow Dash.
"Hey you big ugly Goon. Put me down right now or so help me i'll" Rainbow begins saying only to then get her muzzle closed by Tireks fingers.
"Oh hush, You're going ot tell me where this New alicorn Twbright spackle" Tirek starts only to get interupted by Discord.
"Twilight Sparkle." Discord corrects making tirek Slap his palm against his Face.
"Twilight Sparkle, Right. You're going to tell me where Twilight sparkle is and You're going to do it either before, After or During my fun. If you tell me before i may just be gentle. . . But i doubt it." Tirek says lighting his hand ablaze with magic.
"Discord seeing whats happening fears this may bring The taint and Goes to speak up but someone beat him to the punch. . . Literally.
A cloaked figure is seen at head level with the massive Centaur and a resounding crunch was heard as the cloaked figures fist is shown colliding with Tirek's face. Spitting out a few teeth and some blood as it floats in the air away from him before landing on the floor Tirek is left dazed and confused and in extreme pain from the broken bones. In that moment Tirek lets Rainbow Dash go and being to weak to move and having her magic of Flight taken Rainbow plumets to the floor before getting caught by the figure Bridal style bringing the mare to blush softly before she is gently set down next ot her friends in front of the town.
The entire town of Ponyville Is watching as they had crawled to see what was going on. Infront of them lay the elements of harmony in a similar state as them with discord and a centaur infront of them all with wicked grins while a lone figure stands as defense. The strange thing is a cloaked figure seems to be standing between the town itself and the two Opposing evil doers.
"Now threatening a Mares innocence is a very evil offence. One i can see coming from the blight that is you Warmonger. But You Draconequus. . . i expected better from you." The figure states standing tall at 6 feet towering above most ponies. The voice sounds Familiar as Rarities eyes widen. She may not have understood what was said but that voice is definitely the same.
"And who are you to say what is evil? A do gooder with a hero Complex?" Tirek mocks.
"I stole this worlds magic fair and square. If you want it then you shall have to take it from me. And it's two against one. I feel we can win easy enough." Tirek Brags undertanding the strange thing infront of him wondering why he feels so small compared to him when he barely comes up to his kneecaps in height.
"True, and numbers can overwhelm but you are two and I . . .well I have fought worse odds with less then i have currently and still have come out on top. Draconequus. Stay out of this fight. Your magics hold no effect against me and you can sense this." The creature says going for his makeshift cloak unclasping it.
"Discord whats he saying? Your magic effects everything. It is Chaos itself so you know he's lying. Kill him." Tirek says having Discord obey like a useful tool seeing Discord cast a lightning spell to pierce the beings heart. The bolt strikes it's target dead center right in his chest only for the being to begin laughing as the cloak falls away revealing what was underneath. Discords eyes widen as he sees something he hasn't seen since before his first successful reign of Chaos. A human being.
"Standing before Tirek and Discord Mathias is still in bad shape. Chunks of flesh missing, bone showing, His lungs still exposed through the ribs as is his heart which is still slowly beating. His flesh pale and sickly with big Purple, Yellow, Blue and Black splotches all over his body. Mathias turns to look towards Discord with an insane grin.
"Why aren't you dead. That bolt should have killed you. Besides you look to be a corpse walking." Tirek yells looking at the creautre.
"Because he's what i thought was an extinct creature. A human Being. A creature born entirely out of Chaos. His species very nature is chaotic to the point of immunity from my own magics. I. . . i Haven't seen them since i was ordered" Discord says before stopping himself. The truth will only be known to the human and Celestia.
"Draconequus. . . . I bring a message. Stay out of the fight and all shall be forgiven. Interfere . . . .and i will put you down." Mathias says Getting Discord to smile and nod happily before floating to be beside fluttershy.
"Discord you coward get back over here. Help me fight this thing." Tirek says not knowing what a human is.
"Sorry I can't. You saw what happened my magic literally had no effect on him so i'm not risking my neck bringing in the taint when he is offering me sanctuary. I may be chaotic but i'm not insane." Discord says turning his back on tirek.
"Well then you are of no more use to me." Tirek says before stealing Discords magical abilities sapping and sucking out the magic from his very being leaving him betrayed and powerless.
"But you said you were my friend. The necklace you gave me was a sign of your trust." Discord says a bit hurt by the fact his supposed friend just betrayed him in the worst way possible.
"The necklace was a sign of trust which was broken by my worthless brother when he decided that "Friendship" was the right way and that what we were doing to worlds was "Wrong" I hate my brother and i hated that Necklace i just lied to get you on my side so i could get powerful enough to kill you after stealing Celestia and the other alicorns magic. Now that you wont fight you're useless to me and therefor have no value. Good riddance." Tirek says before turning to the human Who hasn't moved a muscle in all of this. His appearance scaring nearly everypony there besides Rarity, Her friends, Lyra and Bon Bon as Bon Bon was told just so she wouldn't ask questions as to why Lyra nad the others were Frantically searching the Everfree Forest.
(Que music Crypt of the NecroDancer OST, Artist: Danny Baranowsky)
"As for you worm. . . prepare to die." Tirek says before charging up a spell in his hand getting ready to throw it.
"before you end your own life with that action i have to know. What's your name and whats your reason for doing this?" Mathias asks a bit seriously wishing to gauge his reasons.
"My name is Tirek whelp and i am your death. And my reason for doing this. It's fun and i like to." As Tirek answers he goes to throw his spell only to see the human dissapear in a blur of speed. The pain Tirek feels next is Impossible to rate as the humans foot slams into his abdomen pushing through leaving a small bulge in his back shaped like the humans foot. The 19 foot tall behemoth of a centaur is sent rocketing back into the forest crashing into the trees toppling them under his massive weight.
"Well well well, Looks like i'm a size 19. Also it seems i have a promise to keep to three Lovely mares from my past." Mathias says before merely walking towards the downed Tirek who is coughing rather harshly trying to catch his breath before he see's Mathias before him and blasts him with a point blank Area explosion.
Mathias merely standing there takes the blast like it's nothing showing no signs of damage besides what was already visible to everypony around. Mathais merely cackles some before kicking Tirek in the head getting him into the air as Tirek gets to his feet. Mathias leaps upwards from below and backflip kicks Tirek in the chin hard sending him into the air before appearing above Tirek and slamming his good fist into Tireks back slamming him back into the ground.
Coming down Mathias crashes hard with his feet into Tireks Leg snapping the bone like nothing before grabbing Tireks Tail and spin throwing him back towards the town watching him land infront the mares of the town.
"Grrrahh my leg he broke my leg! Discord why don't my spells harm him?" Tirek says in a paniced state.
"I told you my magic is chaos based. His species IS CHAOS INCARNATE. Thus my magic does nothing to him. And since my magic is magic of DEVINE Origin it overpowers all the others writing them to be the same. Which, stay with me now, IS CHAOTIC! Thus all your magic is now Chaos based. Offensive and defensive spells both. You're as weak as i am to that creature now AHAHAHAHA" Discord laughs rather insanely as Tirek goes to swear only to have his head slammed into the dirt by a foot and before blasted backwards by a punch to the chest.
Casting a healing spell Tirek growls and fixes his leg and stands tall looking at the Human. He curses the lords an their short sightedness and cast spell after spell to try and harm the human infront of him. The ponies of Ponyville watch in worry and wonder as the one who did this to them is struggling ot even harm just one of this strange species.
Mathias walking his way towards Tirek is merely taking the magic attacks like nothing. Fire blasts. Lightning strikes. Plague curses and Spike hexes as well as ice spears all impale, Stab, splat, explode and pierce into his flesh doing decent damage to his weakened body but not really slowing down Mathias's stride.
As mathais looks up at the Massive Centaur from the ground he merely smiles wickedly as he stares the creature down. Tirek tries his Magic sucking spell on Mathias making sure to extend the range as far as he can before inhaling and getting absolutely nothing from Mathias.
"Why can't i take your magic. That spell was of divine origin as well. It shouldn't be overwritten. You should be susceptable to it just like Discord." Tirek says taking a few steps back.
"I don't use magic when i feel my opponent is not worthy of it. My magic is part of my soul. And as such isn't going anywhere no matter how hard you suck. You can suck and blow as many times as you want and not one ounce of my magical power will leak into your mouth. The only way to get my magic is to kill me and as "Discord" Has said. . . .That is Quite impossible. Now as you can see I can take anything you throw at me and using only my inborn strength and trained fighting skills and kill you in the most horrifying ways. Thats the honest truth." Mathias says which has applejacks Cutie mark glowing rather brightly getting Applejacks Attention as having a reaction like this is strange. She merely looks towards Mathias still not understanding what he's saying.
"To tell you something My hands aren't as clean as most would think. My hands to are stained with the blood of Innocent lives. The souls i've taken in the name of Evil were for a cause though as such i was forgiven for my honesty in claiming my mistakes from the past. But i'll do you one favor. I'll show you that i too can be kind." Mathias states towards tirek. At this revalation Fluttershy's cutie mark also begins to glow like applejacks.
"Return all the magic you have stolen. Every last drop of it and i shall return you to your home world with your memory erased of all that has happened here. No one will pursue you, No one will hate you, No one will even know how to find you. You can start over a new life what do you say?" Mathais says only to have Tirek send a blast of magic towards Mathias destroying the surrounding forests around them with the point leading out towards where mathias once stood.
Suddenly laughing begins to echo throughout the area. A deep and emotional laugh filled with joy and happiness. A simple and merry mirth fills the area making Discord laugh aswell as Pinkie pie as her cutie mark begins lighting up like a neon sign. The laughing is coming from the dust cloud as Mathias is still stanidng there in the face of danger to all including himself. Laughing his slight fears away.
"I find it funny really even when you know your magic does shit for dick against me you still try and injur me with it. Well Thats just the tits. Listen yah Dandy tart and listen well. YOUR! MAGIC! CAN'T! DO! A! THING! TO! ME! ASSMAGGOT!" Mathias yells punctuating each vocalized yell with a punch or kick to a different area to Tireks body. The last blow sending Tirek towards Rainbow dash and all the others.
Landing infront of them all Tirek coughs up a bit of blood before Mathias speaks to him once more infront of the Mares standing as a guard.
"I'll be generous Tirek. I'll re-extend my offer to you." Mathias states in a matter of fact tone as he crosses his arms. The statement making Rarities Cutie mark light up like the others making her feel happy and safe.
"This is seriously as kind as i can be. I wont fight you anymore. I'll only defend myself and the . . . Ponies of this realm as this world and this world have my loyalty. But you gotta meet me half way. As i said i'm a kind man and i will let you go. I'm being generous and kind with this offer. Take it please . . . . I don't like fighting and would really rather avoid staining my hands further." Mathias says looking towards Tirek.
Tirek looks down thinking about the offer before he looks up towards Mathias and smirks. Power always corrupts so this will indeed help.
"What if i make you a counter offer?" Tirek asks looking towards Mathias who raises his eyebrow at this.
"What kind of offer are you making me?" Mathias asks a bit curious as the ponies around all gasp and look fearful for what might happen.
"Join me, Join me and i'll give you more power. I'll give you half the magic i've absorbed including Discords. I'll give it all to you and you just join my side in destroying this place. Kill everyone and join my side and all that power can be yours. I swe-" Tirek says before a leg connects with his neck nearly breaking it as he is sent flying backwards into a house smashing through it.
"I'm loyal only to a select few. And the Creatures i swear to protect are on that list. That includes these Ponies. I am loyal to them and will NEVER turn my back on them." Mathias says pissed off now making Tirek flinch at the tone. Rainbow dash's Cutie mark glows once and just like the others shines brightly as they cutie mark images all appear on Mathias back in a dice face Patern.
"Now if your done trying to buy time for your own Pathetic life. It's time i do something about you. You threatened to bring the taint to the untainted. A punishment will be dealt and you can not escape this fate. I will be the one to. . ." Mathias says before stopping his hands movement and freezing. His eyes seem to glaze over as the pain finally hits him and the images of the Girls Cutie marks fade. His own injuries from beforehand shattering his steel clad Nervous system and flooding his body with pain. Mathias fights through it and lowers his arm and drops to his knees before signing realizing he must not interfere with what happens next.
He merely looks towards The Fallen ponies and walks towards The White Unicorn he had seen and saved back in the Forest and he drops to his knees infront of her. He merely resigns to sitting criss ccrossed infront of the ponies before him as his body begins leaking blood and Mathias's stiffled groans of pain soon become heard by many.
"So you can be hurt. And you appearantly have reached your limit on your power. Where as i Have limitless amounts. You should have taken my Offer Now you'll die with the rest of them." Tirek says as He capture all the mares, Discord, Spike and Mathias in magical Bubble prisons.
(Twilight sparkles Battle with Tirek Proceeds as normal and she's now making the deal with the monster.)
"So do we have a deal Purple one?" Tirek asks inquisitively as he smirks a bit easily.
"I have the power to defeat you right here Tirek. Nothing you do will ever make me give up my power to a monster like you." Twilight says charging up her most powerful spell to fight off tirek and hopefully win.
"Oh but i believe you're wrong on that one." Tirek says snapping his fingers teleporting the bubble prisons to his location as they flaot above his head. Seeing all 7 bubbles Twilight gasps in utter shock and surprise seeing All her friends, Discord and a Human in the bubbles. Though it appears the human has died.
"My friends. Tirek let them go right now." Twilight says flooding even more power and rage into the blast spell she's about to use.
"Oh but i will. I'm a man of my word despite everything else. I will let your friends go. IF you give me your magic." Tirek says making twilight growl before thinking carefully on what is happening. She closes her eyes and makes her descision.
"Alright tirek But let my friends go." Twilight sparkle says looking at the bubbles. Tirek laughs dirisively and snaps his fingers causing 5 bubbles to float down.
"ALL OF THEM TIREK!" Twilight yells getting Tirek to raise an eyebrow.
"Oh but i did Twilight. Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and applejack are all safe." Tirek says.
"You know who i mean Tirek. Discord let him go and let the human free as well." Twilight says getting Tirek to look at her confused.
"You want me to release Discord and the human? Even after what discord did and the fact that the human is essentially a walking corpse? After all of it you want them aswell?" Tirek says getting twilight to look sternly at Tirek and he merely snaps his fingers letting them both go.
Twilight sighs and walks to Tirek and allows him to suck the magic out of her. As tirek gets his powerup Discord looks over to Twilight astonished before looking towards Mathias who merely smiles and nods to him. Discord walks over to Twilight sparkle and begins speaking.
"Twilight. . . even after betraying you. Betraying equestria. . . .You still risked your life for me. You gave up your magic to see me safe?" Discord asks a bit astonished someone would do that for him of all equines.
"Of course discord. . . I may not really like you cause of what you have odne in the past but . . . .You're still my friend. Well Fluttershy's friend. And cause of that your my friend to. And i'll do anything for my friends. No matter what it is. . . even if it means giving up my magic." Twilight says solomely as she looks at the floor.
"Well twilight. . . I don't know what to say. Thank you. Sincerely thank you twilight. Look it may not be much but. . .Tirek told me that this necklace was a sign of mine and his friendship before he betrayed me saying it held bad memories of his brothers betrayel. Well i'm giving it to you as a sign of TRUE friendship. And consider this my total and unconditional reformation. I hope we can truly be friends twilight. I know that it doesn't mean much now but i give my word i will no longer do anything evil." Discord says placing his hand over his heart and raising his free hand in an act of swear.
"Thank goodness. I'm glad to hear you're finally gonna let Friendship into your heart Discord i hope we can be friends too soon. . . .how ever long we live till Tirek gets bored with us." Twilight says still weak.
"There has to be something we can do." Pinkie Pie says worried.
"What can we do we have no magic and the elements of harmony don't work either." Rainbow dash says to Pinkie Pie.
"True but i reckon that Twi here has an idea. She can think of something can't you twi?" Applejack asks a bit hopeful.
"I honestly don't know girls. Friendship and Harmony usualy prevail in this but without the elements or magic i highly doubt we will be able to . . . .THATS IT!" twilight squeals happily.
"Whats it Darling?" Rarity says from infront of Mathias.
"The elements may be gone but the tree which gave them life is still alive. And the box it gave us has to have something to do with friendship." Twilight says thinking analytically.
"What are you talking about twilight. The box has 6 keys and they all could be anywhere and we'll never find them in time to stop Tirek." Fluttershy says as she nervously hides behind Discord to be out of veiw of the human near them.
"I know Thats what's bothering me fluttershy. 6 keys, 6 elements and all 6 of us have had some test of friendship or trial but nothing ot show for it except. Oh celestia that's it!" twilight says happily.
"Girls do you still have all the trinkets and momento's from the trials you had to endure all accross equestria?" Twilight asks getting all of the to pull out the desired Items. All of which flash with a quick rainbow light that goes unnoticed.
"These six items must have something to do with the box of friendship i know it!" twilight says as she looks towards the everfree forest.
"Come on girls we gotta get to the castle of the ancient pony sisters and get to the tree of Harmony now." Twilight says as she begins slowly trotting towards the castle.
"But twilight we have no magic, no strength and no way to fight of fthe creature of the everfree." Rainbow dash says before rarity inturrupts by clearing her throat.
"Ahem, Girls we have the perfect thing to protect us from the badies of the forest sitting right here." Rarity says pointing to Mathias who is currently sitting with his eyes closed. He opens them to look at her and then to her friends. Not really undertanding what they are saying he looks to discord for translation.
"They are wanting to know if you could perhaps defend them as they make their way towards an ancient tree of incredible power." Discord says to mathias.
Mathias merely closes his eyes and sighs. He was told he would be given heaven and in reality he is given one more hell in his eyes. He decides if he can not have peace and paradise later he will have it now. He opens his eyes and nods Towards discord and the girls before standing up towering over the 6 ponies easily and he begins his pain filled walk towards the castle behind the girls ready to pounce on anything that dares try to harm them or Discord.
Soon the girls, Discord and Mathias make it to the Tree of Harmony and twilight soon figures out the puzzle of the chest of friendship. The chest opens showering the elements of harmony with light and power refilling their magic and enpowering them beyond what they have ever felt. Acting quickly the girls attack tirek and soon after ashort fight are able to trap him and drain the magic he stole only to then return it to it's rightful owners. The pegasai regain the power and magic of flight. The earth ponies soon regain there unbridled strength and endurance. The unicorns gain back there magical abilities and so does Discord. As Mathias never lost anything to Tirek he remains largely unchanged except for one major change.
The massive burn mark that stood above his heart is gone. His flesh returned do to the abundance of magic in the air and land fueling his regenerative abilities. Crisp clean and fresh flesh and skin now show where it's supposed to but internally he is still beyond damaged as his blood still flows inside him, bones are still broke, muscles torn and tendons sliced. He is still in pain and on the verge of collapsing. Discord seeing this lays a clawed hand on him and nods to mathias. Mathias taking the sign just nods and in that instant passes out once more. Discord putting his hands forward to catch the sure to fall Human is surprised when instead of falling forward as his movement showed Mathias falls backwards avoiding the catch completely.
"Oh now thats gotta hurt. HM? Whats this?" Discord says looking at Mathias. On his mathias chest just above where his heart should be is a slight glow. Looking closely Discord sees what it is. It's all the elements of harmony. The emblems of the elements glow on Mathias's skin in a pentagon formation with The element of Magic being in the middle of them all filling the empty area inside the pentagon. The elements emblems soon fade as things come to a close when Tirek is once again trapped inside a cage in a frail and limp state. Unable to even move the slightest muscle.
Soon Princess Celestia, Luna and cadence are all back where they should be as Twilight's spell at the last minute to return all the stolen magic hit the three when they re-appeared in tireks old holding cell in tartarus.
Hugging Twilight and the others the princess's all thank them The princess's all exchange thank yous and hasty goodbyes as they have things to fix immediately before any damage done becomes irreversable. All three dissapearing in loud magical pops.
Soon discord joins the girls at Twilights new crystal Castle carrying the unconscious Mathias with magic making him float in the air upside down and tilted. When the girls see him they smile and then they realize that Mathias isn't moving.
Discord uses teaches Twilight a small healing spell to stich up the broken and torn muscles and skin aswell as stops the bleeding but they decide to wait awhile before taking him to the hospital due to the damage done to it and to cut down on the chance some Mad pony cuts him up like a science experiment to learn how he ticks. After about a month Mathias's Condition doesn't get anybetter and yet it doesn't worsen. Finally coming ot a decision Twilight calls all the girls over including discord and They look mathias Over before Twilight casts an experimental spell she's been trying revealing just why Mathias may not have been responsive.
All the injuries inside his freshly healed flesh. Broken bones, torn muscle and ligiments. Tendons sliced and burned and even battered, bruised, crushed or dying organs. Everything shocks them as the pain Mathias must be feeling is probably enough to keep even a fully mature dragon unconscious for years.
Discord assures them he is fine right now in the stasis spell he casts on him but he needs to find a hospital and soon or he may just not live through the next day. The girls hearing this begin to panic and race towards the hospital taking Mathias with. Twilight has Spike quickly write a letter to Celestia and the others stating that it is of upmost importance that they get to Ponyville General hospital as something they need to know is there.
(Ponyville General Hospital Emergency Entrance.)
"Nurse? Nurse we need help now. This creature is going to die unless we do something. We need him in surgery right away." Twilight yells with Rarity backing up her friend.
"Please we need anyone to just come over and help Twilight knows minor healing spells to help with the small cases but This creature needs IMMEDIATE Medical attention Darlings" Rarity says worried for the human knowing he may not even live through the night.
Redheart hearing what was going on heads over only to see Princess Twilight and all her friends gathered in the hospital crowding around something unconscious. Not really know what Rarity is going on about she looks the creature over and doens't really know what to do but sees a few veins plain as day available for an IV to go. She sticks the creature with the IV stud and begins looking through coolers filled with blood and asks if it has a specific blood type. Discord then reaches into Mathias shirt and fiddles with his chest rubbing and sliding his hands all over Mathias appearing to grope him. Only to then smile and look towards Redheart before answering.
"Blood type O-Negative. Perfect cholesterol since his blood isn't too fatty or greasy to the taste as i've had the pleasure of tasting that already. His blood tastes thick and metallic. Coppery with a hint of nickle. He's very healthy. . .like insanely so. His name is Mathias Carlton Croqvist, He is. . . .wow he's ancient if his birthday is anything to go by but biologically he's 24 Younger then you Rarity. He was a United states Marine what ever that means but from what we've seen that must mean battle trained so it shows how and why he was able to take on Tirek so easily. He's 6 ft even and weights about 156lbs." Discord says automatically as he looks at the group of stunned mares.
"What?" Discord asks confused.
"You got all that just by groping his chest?" Fluttershy asks a bit shy as indicated by her beat red blush.
"Hmm? Oh no nothing like that." Discord says.
"So what was it your wicked chaos magic?" Rainbow dash asks wondering if he could do that with anypony.
"No it's not that either." Discord says before looking at the others.
"Then how did you know all that information on this thing?" Pinkie Pie asks poking the unconscious Mathais in the face squihsing his cheek a bit.
"Oh that, I just felt around for a small piece of metal that was inside his chest and pulled it out before it could cause real harm and it had all his information on it see?" Discord says pulling up a pair of ancient looking Metal tags on a small bead chain. The tags remind the girls of how an owner would tag there pets with things like that to show who owned him. The girls are busy just face hoofing at the obviousness of Discord as Nurse redheart dissapears with Mathias to the operation rooms to see if they can't fix the problems the creature has.
After a moment three loud magical pops can be heard as Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Pincess Cadence all show up standing right next to each other. They look towards Twilight worried before celestia breaks the worried silence.
"Twilight whats wrong your letter was very frightening i thought Tirek might have pulled a fast one on you." Celestia says hugging her faithful student tightly.
"Oh no nothing like that princess it's just a human is here in equestria. You remember right when i went to stop sunset shimmer and ran into a place filled with them?" Twilight asks getting nods from Celestia, Luna and cadence.
"Of course i do my faithful student and you say that a human from there is somehow here?" Celestia says a bit confused.
"Yes i don't know how and i don't know why but a human is here and we have ot send him back as soon as the portal opens again. But he has mayn interna injuries. From what discord says before the overflow of magic from the elements of harmony he was grievously injured to the point of literally being a walking corpse." Twilight says worriedly as she and the others look towards The double doors redheart took the human.
"Yeah poor feller ain't in good shape specially aftah what we had him do in his state." Applejack says looking at the floor.
"Come on applejack He'll be fine. Dudes literally tougher then stone. A hydra dropped a mountain on him and he just walked it off. So totally awesome. Uh not as awesome as me mind you. But still awesome." Rainbow says happily getting the girls to slightly laugh at that memory of how they met the running Hydra who was carrying a massive boulder for some purpose only to drop it on Mathias. Who proceeded to then randomly appear on one of the Hydras heads and knock it unconscious.
"Yeah besides you heard the laugh he gave when we found out the secret to the Chest of friendship. That laugh was one of pure love and joy. You don't have that when you're at deaths doorway. Besides my pinkie sense didn't go off to let me know it was gonna happen." Pinkie Says as she shrugs her shoulders only to get her ears to flop down against her head one after the other then her entire body convulses and twitches making Pinkie pie gasp.
"Oh but that was one of the strongest reactions ever. Only topped by when Twilight finally agreed to accept my pinkie sense as true and wouldn't try to understand it. Something big is going to happen and none of us are going to believe it." Pinkie says looking around.
Well what ever the case the poor dear was so injured after helping get us to the tree of harmony. I hope he's alright we still have to thank him. Who knows his owner may miss him if the tags are anything to go by." Fluttershy says looking to discord.
"Yeah besides when he gets better he can explain how he got here and maybe we could somehow link the two worlds together somehow. He seems highly intelligent if what Rarity told me about him is true." Twilight says hoping to do some reasearch on the human. Voluntarily of course and nothing intrusive.
"Yeah. . . Who knows. But one things for sure. I know that human wont die here. The vibe i got off him the entire trip to the Tree of Harmony said he'd only die in battle. And fortunately or unfortunately enough He is just too good at Combat to die unless It's something VERY Powerful or he's massively outnumbered." Discord says getting all 6 girls to nod in agreement.
"Yes that's true/ But perhaps Mathias will pull through quicker then we think. I mean our lands Magic seemed to heal him well enough on the outside. If someone were to cast spells of the same type to heal only from the inside he would be good as new." Rarity says happily thinking on how bad and near dead he looked before the Power of Friendship returned magic and life to the world of equestria and in return healing his more grevious life threatening injuries. When Rarity utters the name of the Human The princess's eyes widen with both fear and worry before what she said takes root and they all shout at the very same time.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL HIM?" The princess's ask all at once surprising the girls as they look towards the shocked and worried faces of the Princess's. Something must have happened and Twilight would get to the bottom of it.
