The Legend of Celestia: Twilight's Harmony
Phantom Fan 21: The boss fight, the dungeon's bosses are not going to be the same from the game. I'll make them up. They might even have the same ways weakness like the ones from the game. After the boss, a side quest where I have Twilight met one of her friends. I'll say how once I get there. Also beside Puzzles, I not really good at making Dungeons, so I would like some help on those as well. Anyway, here the boss fight, it going to be short just likes the game. One more thing, Cadence will not be like Navi. She will speak up only if she needs to or tell Twilight about the monsters she comes across.
Twilight walk through the tunnel from the door she enter. She walks another a room fills with roots everywhere. Some trunks grew from the ground and the place was darker then the rooms she be in.
"Cadence? Is the Crystal close?" Twilight ask.
"Yes, But something feels off." Cadence said.
Twilight nods and walks through the room, her shield high and her sword ready. She looks around for any signs of monsters. She could hear something. She looks above and saw a giant spider that look like a Skulltula. It climb across the ceiling and drop down near Twilight and stood up on some of it legs and let out a loud sheik.
Giant Armor Spider: Queen Skulltula
"Twilight! Be careful! That the Queen of the Skulltula's!" Cadence warns.
Twilight stood her ground. The Skulltula Queen landed back on all eight legs and started to charge at her. Twilight jump out of the way and watch as the Skulltula ran past her. It stops and turn back around and then charge again.
"Twilight you need to stop it in its tracks!" Cadence said.
Twilight began to think. She can't block it with her shield. There was no way her Slingshot was going to work, same with her Deku Sticks. Her Deku Nuts, maybe? One way to find out. Twilight pull out a Deku Nut and threw it to the ground. It work, the Skulltula was stun from the flash and fell showing it head.
"Twilight! Attack the head! It is weak point!" Cadence said.
Twilight nods and ran up to the Skulltula. She started to hack and slash the Skulltula until it got up and ran away. Twilight watch until it reaches the ceiling until it stops just a few feet above her.
"What it doing?" Twilight ask.
"Twilight you got to stop it! It going to lay eggs that will make the fight even harder." Cadence said.
"How?" Twilight ask.
"Use your Slingshot to knock it down, but hit the head." Cadence said.
Twilight pull out her Slingshot and aim at the head. She fire and the Skulltula fell to the ground only releasing one egg. Twilight slashes and hack the Skulltula's head again and the egg hatch into a small Skulltula with no armor on it. It tries to rush at Twilight, but it too was hit from Twilight slashes.
Twilight could see that it was weaken and decide to use her Finishing Blow to end it. Twilight jump in the air, her sword point in front of her. She sticks it right into the Skulltula's head and jump off as it scream. It began to trash around in pain before stand on some of it legs and burn away. Twilight smile and sat down to rest for a second. Then a heart appears from the remains of the Skulltula and Twilight look at it.
"What's that?" She asks.
"Ah! A heart container. Every time you beat a boss, they drop it and you can increase your heath so you can last longer in battle." Cadence said.
Twilight walk up to it and pick it up. She felt some energy wash over her and her heath increase. In a blue glow appear in the room.
"Twilight, I made away for you to get out of here, and there something I have to tell you once we get out." Cadence said.
Twilight was a little confused, but walk up to the glow and step in. She was lift and closes her eyes and was beam out of the Dead Hallow Tree.
Twilight appear right in front of the tree and look around. Then heard something behind her. She turn away and saw a pony that had a horn and wings, she had what look to be a crown on her head and a heart on her flank.
"Twilight Sparkle, You have proven yourself that you can handle this challenge. And I can relive my true from to you." It said.
"Cadence?" Twilight ask when she heard the voice.
"Yes, it is I. I was imprison in the tree guarded by the Skulltula you just slay. Now it gone my body she free but you only just started. My name is Princess Cadence, the Princess of Love. I'm also the niece of Princess Celestia." Cadence said.
Twilight just stood there in shock. She was meeting a Princess and she was the niece of another.
"It time you learn that Equestria is in danger and why." Cadence said.
Twilight sat down and listens.
"You see, legends were told that long before Equestria was made, three Ponies, Power the Earth Pony, Wisdom the Pegasus and Courage the Unicorn came to this land and saw that was bear with no life. Power; use her mighty hooves to shape the land. Wisdom, use her flying to give the blue skies and clean water. Courage, using her magic gave life along the land and made the habits from all three of them, but they were worry. They fear that the tree ponies' species will fight each other and use their power to create a fourth specie, An Alicorn. Having the Alicorn rule and treat all Ponies evenly they left, leaving behind six crystals. They are call the Elements of Harmony. There is one pony that what to use the Elements for her own grain. A Black pony in armor. Nightmare Moon. She is an Alicorn as well but she has darkness in her heart. I learn about her plan and try to stop her, but alas I was no match for her. She imprisons me in the tree and continues whatever plan she has. We must go to Canterlot and warn my Aunt of Nightmare Moon's plan. Who know what will happen if she gets her hooves on the Elements."
Twilight stood up and dusts herself off. Cadence turns to her and said, "You have shown you got the Courage and Wisdom to handle dangerous challenges. For that I give you the Crystal of Courage."
Cadence held her head up and a green glow appear on her horn. Then a green crystal appears that was surround by a golden handle. Twilight held her head up as it floated to her.
You got the Crystal of Courage!
Cadence has trust you to keep it safe until its need. You have two more Crystals to find.
Twilight lower her head and look at Cadence.
"Are you going to leave now?" She asks.
"I may be freed but the dangers around the land will be too great for you, so we'll go together." Cadence answer.
Twilight smile, she was glad. Now that she got all the things. She can finally see Canterlot; however she was going to miss her home.
Cadence disappears and Twilight heard her voice in her head.
"Nightmare Moon must not know I been freed, so I will hide until I am need." She said.
Twilight run from the Dead Hallow Tree and started her way back to Unicorn Village.
Once Twilight got there she saw Scissor Cut and Mayor Test. Twilight sign. She knew that she had to deal with them again. She got close and listens to what they said.
"Twilight! I ask you to hand over your sword and shield and leave this Village!" Test said.
"I already plan on leaving, but I need this sword and shield to defend myself. You, as Mayor, should know that." Twilight said.
Test stop there. He knew she had a point. But none-less he wasn't going to let Twilight get away on attacking Scissor Cut.
"Yes, I know but you will have to find a way to defend yourself after you leave." He said.
"I am leaving but I'm taking the Unicorn Sword and the Wooden Shield with me." Twilight said and walk passes them.
Scissor Cut got in front of her and said, "You know the law! Fillies can't have swords!"
"Then why am I good with one? I think it may have to do something about my family I never knew! If you really want me out then let me go!" Twilight yell back.
Test started to use his Magic to grab the sword and shield but Cadence stop him by using her own magic to keep them on Twilight. Test was shock to see a light blue glow over power is brown glow. He knew that Twilight's was purple so who stop him?
"You're still a blank flank that has no talent and your sword play isn't it!" Scissor Cut said.
"LISTEN HERE SCISSOR CUT!", Twilight yell, "You always think because you have a cutie mark that you better than others, but what you don't get is that ones that don't have one is better than you think! There are many things out there that can discover what a pony talent is! So think about that next time you pick on somepony."
Scissor Cut back away when Twilight rise her voice. Mayor Test even back off.
"Now, I'm going to Canterlot and taking these with me so I can defend myself against the monsters that are out there." Twilight said and walks off leaving the two Unicorns speechless.
As Twilight near her house, she saw Lyra waiting for her.
"So, you're leaving?" She asks.
"Yeah, I'm both glad and sad about it." Twilight said.
Lyra nods and holds out a harp.
"Your harp?" Twilight ask.
"Yes, I want you to have it. I don't what you to forget about me." Lyra said.
Twilight took the harp and smile.
"I'll never forget about you, Lyra. You're my best friend." Twilight said.
"I know, come back visit some time ok?" Lyra said.
Twilight nods and hugs her friend. Then runs off ready for her adventure as Lyra watch.
"Good bye, Twilight." Lyra said.
Twilight walk until she reach a giant field that had a few trees around it and some paths learning to different ways. Twilight just stare in awe on what she saw.
"Welcome Twilight Sparkle, to Equestria Field." Cadence said.
"Wow! I never knew that there was a field so big!" Twilight said.
"Yes, however, it quite a long way to Canterlot on hoof, so I know a quicker way." Cadence said.
"Huh? What that?" Twilight ask.
"There a small village not too far from here, you can head there for the faster way to Canterlot." Cadence said.
"Another village? What that one call?" Twilight ask again.
"Ponyville. A Village that fill with all kinds of Ponies. You might even make some friends there." Cadence said.
"Ponyville? Well, if it the quickest way then which path should I take?" Twilight ask.
"Take the one in front of you. It leans to Ponyville." Cadence said.
Twilight took the path in front of her and follows it. Twilight walk down the path and looks at the field. She continues on until the sun started to set.
"Looks like Aunt Tia had to set the sun now." Cadence said.
"Tia? Set the sun?" Twilight asks confuse.
"Yes, Tia is just a short version of Celestia name and she can control the sun. My other Aunt, Luna controls the Moon. Nightmare Moon can also control the moon but Aunt Luna does it most of the time." Cadence said.
"You have two aunts? That means there two Princesses?!" Twilight ask in surprise.
"Yes, but you must be careful, some monsters come out at night. And stay on the path. They show more offend when you are off the path." Cadence warns.
Twilight nods and stays on the path. After a while Twilight stop to rest. She took off her sword and shield and set them right next to her. And sat down. Cadence appears and got all the stuff they need for a fire. Twilight pull out Lyra's Harp, and look at it.
"Miss her again?" Cadence said as she sat next to her.
"I do, but I will save Equestria for her and all ponies." Twilight said.
Cadence nods. Twilight was learning. Then she heard something. She stood up and readies herself.
"Twilight someone is coming. I must hide again, but I'll will help you in any way I can." Cadence warns.
Twilight nods and pick up her sword and shield as Cadence disappear again.
Soon three Skeletons ponies walk up to her. Their eyes sockets glow as they near Twilight's fire. They had no horns or wings, showing that they were once Earth Ponies. Twilight stood her ground as they close in on her.
"This is strange. We are still on the path. How are they appearing in a small numbers?" Cadence said.
"I'm not sure myself but I guess they don't look friendly." Twilight said.
"No, they not. They are Skulls Ponies. They can be taking down very quickly." Cadence said.
Twilight nods and held her shield up to block an attack. She swings her sword and knocks the head off. It continues to move but couldn't see where Twilight was. Twilight took it out with another swing and turn to the last two. She took them out without a problem. Just as she was about to relax more show up. Twilight stood her ground again and took them down, but more and more started to show up and she was started to get tired.
Finally Twilight beat them all and was breath hard. She knee to the ground and try to catch her breath. Then she heard more of them.
"Oh come on! How many are there?!" Twilight shouted.
"They will keep coming until the sunrise but that is 8 hours away from now!" Cadence said.
"Darn it!" Twilight shouted and stood back up.
Before they and she can move, a rope surrounds a few of them and they were pull away.
"HEYAW!" a voice said as the Skull Ponies were spin in the air.
Twilight could make out a Earth Pony that was orange with yellow mane and tail. The ends were tie and she had green eyes. She appears about Twilight's age. Then she saw a read pony charging at the Skull Ponies and knocks them down. The orange filly threw the ones she had into other and they become a pile of bones. Twilight block one next to her and slash it twice before it could hit her. The three took the Skull Ponies out quicker then Twilight did alone. But more kept coming.
"Augh! There too many! We need to get out here!" Cadence said to Twilight.
Twilight nods and kicks her fire at them and they all run. But Twilight was so tired from the fight that she couldn't keep up with the two Earth ponies.
"Big Mac! Get that there pony! She can't keep with us!" the filly said.
The red pony, now known as Big Mac, turn back and put Twilight on her back. He bucks a few Skull Ponies and then ran to catch up with the filly. They ran until they reach a small village.
"SKULL PONIES ARE LOOSE!" The orange filly shouted.
A few ponies poke their heads out of the houses and saw the two Ponies and the Skull Ponies right behind them.
A few Unicorns quickly ran to the edge of the village and fire they beams that knock each Skull Pony down. Soon the Orange Filly and Big Mac made it in the village and the Unicorns place a shield around the Village. The Skull Ponies couldn't get though and soon they retreat back under ground.
"Big Mac and Applejack!" Shouted an voice, "What in tarnation are you trying to do...What this?"
A green old ponies with a grey mane and tail with a pie as her cutie mark step forward and was about to yell at the two ponies when she spotted Twilight.
"Granny Smith, This pony was camping out in the field and she was attack by the Skull Ponies. But she was able to hold out on her own until there was too many, so me and Big Mac gave her a hoof. But we had to retreat and warn Ponyville." The Filly name Apple Jack said.
Granny Smith looks at Twilight who was trying to keep her eyes open. Some ponies notice that she had a sword and shield.
"No wonder she was able to, she has a sword and a shield for such a young age." One pony said.
"Good heavens, she looks beat. Must have taken down a lot Skull Ponies." Another said.
"Yeah I counted, she took down 60 Skull Ponies before me and Big Mac step in." Apple Jack said.
That surprises all the ponies. 60 Skull Ponies? By herself? At that age? Granny Smith walks up to Twilight and asks, "Who are you my dear?"
"Twilight...Sparkle." She said before she lost the fight and fell asleep.
"Twilight Sparkle? A fine name for her. Let take her back to Sweet Apples Arcs. She can rest there." Granny Smith said and the whole town went back to sleep.
Morning arises and Twilight notices that she was in a bed when she woke up. She saw her Sword, Shield and her bags on a table. Cadence appears next to her.
"Morning Sleepy head." She said.
"What happen?" Twilight ask.
"You pass out after the two ponies help you. We are in an Apple Farm not too far from Ponyville." Cadence answer.
Twilight then heard somepony calling form outside.
"Now Applejack, your rope skill has improved but, you got to help more around the farm." An old female said.
"I know Granny Smith, but I'm more worry about that filly." A young voice said.
"Now, now Applejack, I'm sure she fine. She was tried, that all. Even after beating 60 Skull Ponies, she has to be really tried." The old voice said again.
Twilight got out the bed and walks to the window and look out. She saw the orange filly and the old green mare talking. Then she saw the red Stallion look up are her.
"She's awake." He said.
They look up and the Orange filly said, "Morning Sugar Cube!"
"Um... Morning." Twilight call back.
"Why don't come on down." The filly said.
Twilight move away from window and put back on her stuff. She walks down stairs and soon come to a room that had all the stuff for the food they eat. She step outside and saw the Filly ran up to her and shook her hoof really fast.
"Howdy there! I'm Applejack, nice to meet you. That my big brother Big Mac and our grandmother Granny Smith." She said.
"Um...Nice to meet you all." Twilight said still shaking from the hoof shake.
"Applejack let her hoof go." Granny Smith said.
Applejack did. Twilight shook her hoof and then looks at the family.
"It really is nice to meet you all, I'm..." Twilight started to say but was cut off.
"Don't worry we know your name already, Twilight." Applejack said.
"Oh! I guess I was more tried then I thought." Twilight said remembering that she already told them her name.
"Yes even after handle all those Skull Ponies. You took out 60 of them." Applejack said.
"Well it was my first time out of my village." Twilight said.
"Your first time?!" Applejack shouted, "But it look like you been out there since you were born!"
"Has your parents took you anywhere?" Granny Smith asks.
"No, I don't even know my parents." Twilight said sadly.
"Oh, sorry. I lost my parents as well. I, Big Mac and a new filly that was born a few months ago are the only ones." Applejack said.
You must be lucky to have siblings. I'm the only born filly." Twilight said feeling sorry for them.
"Hey, don't worry about. We maybe siblings but we like some friends outside of the farm." Apple Jack said.
Twilight look up, a filly that wanted friend beyond her family? She smiles.
"Well you just got one. After all you help me when I was in trouble and let me sleep in your bed even without knowing who I was." Twilight said.
"Thanks Twi." Applejack said.
Twilight nods and then Granny Smith step up.
"So where are you heading?" She asks.
"To Canterlot." Twilight answer and the Apple Family gasp.
"Canterlot?!" Applejack shouted, "Why are you heading there?"
"I have to see Princess Celestia." Twilight answer.
"Whoa Nelly! No pony has ever tried to see the princess unless the princess calls for them." Applejack said.
"Well, I have to and I was told that there a faster way to reach there then on hoof." Twilight said.
"Well, yeah you can just take the train to Canterlot." Granny Smith said.
"A train? Where is it?" Twilight ask.
"It in Ponyville and you might want someone to show you around." Applejack said.
"Will you help me then Applejack?" Twilight ask.
"Sure, anythin' for a friend." Apple Jack said.
"Ok, now Applejack you remember..." Granny Smith started to say.
"I know Granny Smith, I'm not little anymore." Applejack said and left with Twilight.
Apple Jack and Twilight walk though Ponyville. Applejack shows all the places in the town.
"And that were we sell some Shields to some guards that needs them." Apple Jack pointed out.
"Really? You sell shields here?" Twilight ask.
"Sure do! And you got one already, Sugar Cube." Apple Jack said.
"Yeah but it made out of wood." Twilight said.
"Really, well getting a shield here is pretty hard; those things cost about 80 bits!" Apple Jack said.
"80 BITS?!", Twilight shouted, "Back in my village the Wooden Shield cost 100 bits for an Adult and 20 bits for a Filly."
"Really?! That much for a wooden shield?!" Applejack asks in surprise.
Twilight nods before some hit her head.
"Ooff." Twilight said before looking to see what hit her.
It was a ball. Then three fillies Twilight age ran up to them.
"Hey! Can you pass the ball here?!" One of them calls out.
"Hey! Isn't that the Unicorn that took down 60 Skull Ponies?" Another asks.
"No way, Bon-Bon! There no way she could be that unicorn." The third said.
"Is everypony that surprise I took out that many Skull Ponies?" Twilight ask Apple Jack.
"Eyep! The highest amount of Skull Ponies ever defeated was 55. You broke the record by defeated five more Skull Ponies." Applejack said.
"See? Told you Depry." Bon-Bon said.
"Well, it nice to know that somepony beside Trixie can defeat that many in once night." The first filly said.
"Yeah, maybe she can tell us how she did it." The third filly said.
"Maybe your right Depry. So come how long have you been at this?" Bon-Bon asks.
"Um, well, Last night was the first time I even left my village." Twilight said.
"WHAT?! YOUR FIRST TIME!" Bon-Bon shouted.
"Wow! It took Trixie three nights to get that amount, Right Time Turner?" "Depry ask the first filly.
"Yes, 72 hours 25 minutes and 12 seconds before she made a record." Time Turner said.
"Now ya'll just because Twi broke the record doesn't mean she needs to be surround. In fact Twi here is going to Canterlot to see the Princess." Apple Jack said.
The three fillies stood there in shock. They look at the filly that was the same age as them.
"Really?! The princess?" Depry ask.
"But why is she going?" Bon-Bon asks.
"You know, I not sure. Twi, why are you going?" Applejack asks her.
"Um...well I always dream about meeting the princess and a few days ago, me and a friend were supposed to go there to deliver some stuff, but these strange guards appear and attack us." Twilight said.
"Really? Where your friend now?" Time Turner asks.
"I don't know, one of the guards knock me out and when I woke up, I was alone." Twilight said.
"Sorry Sugar Cube." Applejack said.
"I'm ok now because I have friends no matter where I go." Twilight said smiling.
"Oh here Twilight, Take this shield." Bon-Bon said and pulls out a huge shield.
It was cover in blue with a Alicorn on the front. Yellow rays shine from the wings the made it looks like it was holding the Sun. On three corners where the sun itself. And below the Alicorn were three triangles. Twilight replaces it with her Wooden Shield but, fond it was too big for her to use in her hoof.
"Where did you get that?" Depry ask.
"My dad gave it to me. He told me to gave this to a pony that you think is a great warrior and I think Twilight is one." Bon-Bon said.
"Thanks Bon-Bon." Twilight said.
"Well I'll take you to the train station; the ticket to Canterlot cost only ten bits." Apple Jack said.
"Thanks Apple Jack, I'll see you all later." Twilight said before she and Apple Jack walk away.
As the three fillies, a white unicorn appears with a purple mane and tail. Her horn was glowing for some reason and it kept taking her to that same filly that appears last night.
"Why does my horn keep taking me to that filly?" it said, "Wait, did I hear that she going to see the Princess? Well I guess I talk to her when she gets back."
The unicorn filly watches Twilight walk off having a little trouble with her new shield. She wasn't sure, but there was something about that filly.
And there we go. Eyep! Applejack was in this chapter. Next Chapter, Twilight goes to Canterlot, meets both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna and learn her first song, then last before going to the second dungeon, she meet another one of her friend that just show up. Please review.
