We trained until it was time for me to go pick up rose and shadow decided to come with me to pick her up. "So I heard you really did adopt her." She said snickering.
"Yeah so what?" I asked as we walked towards the school.
"I was just saying that it was good of you to adopt her. But I also heard about what happened earlier today at the school."
"Yeah about that?" I said rubbing the back of my head.
"What else happened?"
"Well let's just say I might of angered who ever that colts father is after I yelled at him." I said. Son of a bitch that's not good. In front of the building were some day guards. "Looks like I'm in trouble." I said to shadow as we reached them but then I heard yelling inside. "There is no way she can continue at this school without the fees required every week!"
"But she needs to learn why can't you understand that!"
"Because I was the one that bought this school and made sure it stayed open. Now either get rid of her or else the school will be shut down!" I then opened the door to find the same colt from before smiling at who I thought was his father. "Now what's going on here?" I asked surprising them. Just than rose ran over crying. "What's wrong sweetie?" I asked but she continued to cry.
"She's crying because she is about to be thrown out of this school…" the teacher said.
"WHAT!" I yelled making them jump.
"She has no more family which means no more means to pay the weekly fees to stay. Plus thanks to my son telling me about what happened earlier that just helps kick her out." The stallion said.
"And what if I'm her family?" I said standing up.
"You couldn't be family. You would have to go through the princess Celestia first and-"
"It's already been done."
"Excuse me?"
"I have already talked to both Celestia and Luna and they are happy that I adopted her after the incident."
"But this is absurd. You aren't even a pony." And with that he was now against the wall with the sword to his throat. "You got a problem with that?" I asked as he nodded no and I let him drop.
"Sweetie get your things. I know somepony who would be happy to teach you magic." I said as she quickly ran over and started packing her supplies. "Who would these somepony's be?" the teacher asked.
"Why the princesses themselves. They owe me after I defeated a hydra on its way here." I said as she stared at me wide mouthed.
"For attacking a noble I challenge you to a duel in the streets." The stallion said as he got back up and his colt smiled an evil grin.
"Do you actually have a death wish?" I said walking over to rose.
"I think you are not as good as you or they say." And with that I stopped.
"I accept that." I said darkly.
"Daddy no!" rose cried out.
"Don't worry sweetie, daddy will be alright." I said as we stepped out into the street.
"Nice knowing you." A guard told the stallion. As I got into position and he did on the other I took off my armor and shadow took it for me. "Anything goes!" he yelled.
"I'm okay with that." I said getting into a fighting stance. As we just stared at each other for a few minutes he then charged me as I used my magic to summon the shield and hit him directly in the face with it sending him twirling. "That isn't fair." I heard his colt yell.
"I would suggest shutting up your father said anything goes." I said as I charged putting away the shield. As he stopped twirling I swept his feet out from under him and then roundhouse kicked him into the air and I jumped after him and I laid several hits to his gut before I did a left and a right hook to his head before I did a uppercut sending him farther into the air and then I used my magic to teleport above him and then I sent us both flying towards the ground. A second before we hit the ground I saw him teleport above me and instead of him taking the impact I did and I was his cushion. That was when noticed his hat had come off. He's a fucking unicorn. This might be a little more interesting than I thought. As he fired several magic bolts at me I once again summoned my shield but I felt it pulled out of my grasp somehow when I saw that he now had it in his mouth. But that was when the shield dissolved and started to spread all around his body. So it looks like only I can use the shield and sword. I watched as soon as the darkness disappeared I saw that he was now on the ground. Or maybe it wasn't going to be interesting. As I walked over and checked on him he was still breathing but he was squirming about something. "Take him to the hospital I told the day guards. As they hoisted him onto one of their backs and ran off the colt followed them. I than walked over and picked up ruby. "Ready to go home sweetie?" I asked and she nodded. As shadow rejoined me still with my armor on her back I put rose down and I took it off of her back and I put rose there. "She really likes you." I said as rose started to play with the armors mane on her armor.
"I think it's only because of the mane." She said giggling.
"I don't think so. She just fell asleep on your back." As she looked back to confirm what I just said she just smiled as we entered the castle and before anything I dropped off the armor and shadow decided to stay in the room with rose to keep her company while I searched for Celestia. And of course I found her in the throne room. "Hello Luke." She said as I walked in.
"Evening Celestia. Can I ask a favor?" I asked.
"Depends on what the favor is about?" she said.
"Rose was just kicked out of the unicorn school today." She gasped. "All because since she had no family left to pay the weekly fees. So I am asking if you might be able to teach her under your wing?" I asked going on one need.
"She may. I feel horrible about what just happened." She said.
"It wasn't your fault princess. It was a nobles fault for buying the school and forced weekly payments."
"Then I will find this noble at once."
"No need princess. He has already been takin care of for challenging me to a duel." With that she calmed down a little.
"Also princess remember that tomorrow is when I must sleep for the entire day. Just letting you know. Now I must go check on rose." As I left the throne room I put a smile on my face. Rose was going to be in good hands- err I mean hooves. As I continued to walk through the halls I was thinking about tonight. If I am able to I might be able to get the others to join me in fighting those things. But that all depends on if I can do it or not. As I entered the room I found that shadow had fallen asleep. That's right… her day is on Saturdays but she still decided to train today. I even found that rose had decided to snuggle up with her mane and that made me laugh a little. Well now might a good time to practice some magic before its time for me to go out again. "Come on Luke, think of armor." And with that pure black armor appeared onto my body and I looked at myself in the mirror. I could tell it was built of fear and darkness because my helmet was kept on changing into something scarier and scarier. Just like in one of my favorite books of Percy Jackson. Actually I think only my helmet was made of fear while the rest looked like it was made from shadows. This is going to be useful if I'm ever in a situation without my armor. So I quickly dispersed it and I went looking for the others. And I found them all eating dinner with some night guards. "Have you heard about the angel of darkness last night?" one of the night guards said making me freeze in my spot.
"We heard. He is now a hero to filly's and foals everywhere. Who thinks he's going to do it again tonight?" breaker asked.
"Well I for one do not care as long as he's saving the foals he's okay in my book." Wind said finishing up his dinner.
"Hey I will need your help with something tonight." I told them.
"With what sir?" a night guard asked.
"With helping the foals. After dinner I want you all to report to the courtyard. And you I ask that you tell Luna to meet us there as well. And make sure you are all in armor!" I said as they dashed off. As I made my way to the courtyard after I grabbed my armor and as I made it about 25 night guards were there along with Luna and the others. "Luke why did you ask us to come here?" Luna asked.
"Because of this." I said as I filled my hand with magic and I pounded my hand into the ground… and we were all now in the dream world. "We are going to stop the things scaring the foals once and for all. I want all of you to search this area for any foal you find and bring them all here to Luna. Luna I need you to put a shield up here for the foals to have safety in."
"Where are we?" she asked.
"I thought you would know since you are also the princess of dreams."
"We are in a dream!" she almost yelled.
"Yes we are. All of the foal's dreams combined into one. That took quite a bit of magic from me. Now go." Before they could move there were voices.
"So the angel of darkness has returned… we have no more need of you human. You killing those minors gave us enough power to make our masters have full power."
"Leave the foals out of this than!" I yelled as I started to heard whispers.
"The captain is the angel of darkness."
"Is that even true?"
"Dude we all saw the wings when we were fighting the hydra."
"The foals are still needed… all of our master's revivals need a sacrifice."
"Then you will all fucking die!" I yelled and immediately like an army of Nightmares appeared and surrounded us. "I WANT ALL THE Pegasus TO SEARCH FOR THE FOALS. ALL UNICORNS HOLD THEM BACK WITH MAGIC AND TRY NOT TO GET TO CLOSE AND ALL EARTH PONIES PROTECT Luna AND EVERY FOAL THAT IS BROUGHT BACK. NOW. ETERNAL GUARDS! ATTACK!" as we all charged they all charged us. I slide kicked the first one into the air and then sliced him apart with my sword as I was knocked into shadow from a slash. As we stood back to back they all surrounded us. "I would suggest roundabout." She said as she jumped into the air and I grabbed her legs and started to spin around and she shot off a rapid fire of magic bolts at all of them and as soon as I let her go she teleported away and I teleported above a large group of nightmares and I created a shockwave where I landed sending them all flying. I then noticed that Pegasus started to return each one with either one or two foals and put them in with Princess Luna. "ETERNAL GUARDS SHADOW GAMES!" I yelled and I saw both breaker and shadow start to create shadow ponies of all the night guards and themselves and they all attacked the Nightmares. As I pushed away several minors with my shield and I sliced the middle one in half I was knocked backwards into a tree and it came crashing down on top of me. As I struggled to get out from under it there was more pressure and I could feel it getting heavier and heavier on me when I finally looked up to find a major staring at me. "You have lost human. We shall soon break through your princesses barrier and take the foals." As I looked towards where Luna was I saw a large shield made of Blue magic and I could tell Luna was having a hard time keeping it up from them pounding it. "Once we have the foals we get to have a feast of your friends and defile. Maybe starting with your little one in the shield?" and with that I stopped struggling and stared it in the face. And then I got angry.
Luna's POV
I can't hold the shield forever. Luke and his guards have all been defeated along with the Pegasus and half of the earth guards. Whatever these things are they are not normal to this world. "YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HER!" I heard Luke yell. As I looked to where it came from there was a very large beam of white hitting where it came from and I watched in amazement as the largest one of them went flying out of it and dissolved in the air. As they stopped the pounding and looked towards the beam it started to grow smaller and smaller until it disappeared showing Luke… in white armor with a white sword and shield. What magic is this? None that I have ever seen. "YOU WANT SOMETHING TO EAT? THAN COME AND GET IT!" he yelled as he charged them all and they all charged him. He slashed and hacked them all with so much skill that it shouldn't be possible… until he was grabbed from behind.
Luke's POV
It was hard for my brain to process what was happening. It was like my body was on auto pilot but my brain was shut down but I could still see what was happening. I was slashing and hacking all the Nightmares with a new weapon, shield, and armor that appeared on my body as I got mad. But I was then grabbed from behind and I could feel myself take control of my body again… so I decided to have some fun. As I back head butted the Nightmare and it dropped me I took the sword and cut its legs out from under it and then I quickly stabbed its head as it hit the ground. "LIGHT NOVA BLAST!" I yelled. Wait what? As I noticed the surroundings get brighter and brighter there was a huge flash of light and then when it disappeared all but one of the Nightmares and I walked slowly towards it. "You may of defeated us but our masters are all reformed. As soon as the purifiers are used they will be reborn into the world. And there is nothing you can do to stop it!" and with that I curb stomped his head into the ground and he vanished. As I watched the shield go down I noticed that the light had faded away from my armor but the weapon and shield remained as I saw rose run over and tackle me to the ground her giggling with glee as Luna walked over. "I have never seen such power. When we wake up we must see my sister about this." Luna said and I just nodded.
"Okay everybody we are done here. Now just think home." And with that I opened my eyes and we were back in the courtyard I saw that except one of the night guards were getting up. Wait that isn't a night guard. Its shadow. As I quickly ran over and checked on her she was all cut up and filled with bruises. "Luna!" I yelled and she ran over and started to do magic on her. "She is hurt badly Luke. We need a hospital."
"She?"
"You mean we always had a mare in the ranks?"
"SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!" I yelled and I picked her up and we started to run towards the hospital.
Ever since I made it to the hospital I never left her side as they worked on her for hours. I was now sitting in her room just watching her when the door opened and when I looked it was Luna, Celestia, and rose. "So the young mare is hurt?" Celestia asked. "What happened?"
"Luna please explain it…" for over 30 minutes she told her sister and she listened to every minute of it until she got to the part about the light weapons. "Weapons of light?"
"Yeah. They appeared after one of them threatened to… defile rose." And with that they both gasped but rose looked at me confused.
"What does defile mean?" she asked.
"You'll know when you are older sweetie."
"okay." She said as she jumped onto my lap and fell asleep.
"Can I check something?" Celestia asked.
"sure." I felt something in my mind but when it went away she gasped.
"You have dark… and light magic inside of you."
"Well that sounds about… WHAT!" I almost yelled.
"We will need to run some test on you to see how you got this magic. My sister has already told me everything about the dark magic in you."
"Well you think you could train me? You can study what I can do at the same time." I said petting rose as she moved around to be comfortable but then she fell back asleep. "What time is it anyway?"
"Almost morning. Why?" Luna asked.
"Okay than if you see me slouch over soon it means my body has fallen asleep from being awake for quite a while." And just after I said that I felt my body shut down and I slouched over falling asleep.
When I opened my eyes I saw that I was in my room. How the hell did I get here? Just then I noticed a familiar red mane and tail on my belly and when I looked down at my belly and I saw rose sleeping soundly on my stomach. I must say I made the right decision by adopting her. She was an obedient filly, always try's her best, and she is downright cute. As I continued to watch her sleep she was making very cute noises as she breathed out and it made me snicker every single time she did. That was when I heard the door open I saw Luna walking in and she jumped a little when she saw me sitting up but she then put a smile on her face and she walked over. "When you said you slept the entire day you did just that." She said.
"Well I did warn you." I said as she snickered. "So what's a beautiful mare like yourself doing here?" she turned her head away but I already saw the blush on her face and there was a small trace of it left as she looked back at me. "Well Celestia told me to check up on you every once in a while." She said finally answering back.
"Well I'm awake as you can see. How long has she been here?" I asked.
"She was with you the entire time yesterday. Celestia even had a lesson with her in here and she almost blew up the room. Celestia was surprised you didn't wake up from that!" Luna said laughing a little.
"Well I am a heavy sleeper. Mind taking her off of me for a moment?" as Luna lifted her off with her magic I sat up and stretched my arm and legs and I got off of the bed. "So when do we start training?" I asked and then I felt myself somewhere else. And then when I turned around I saw all of the day and night guards surrounding me including the eternal guards except for shadow. "Right now."
"You mother fucker."
As they all charged me I had to come up with a plan as I was whisked off the ground and into the air and I broke free of my captors and I fell towards the ground. As I tried to summon my shield I couldn't when I looked at Luna and she was smiling. She must of blocked off my dark magic so I could only use light magic. Well that's going to be a fucking problem. As I landed on the ground creating a shockwave I started to try and concentrate to summon and anything with light magic but I was blasted off of my feet and into a wall and I ducked to avoid an earth pony punch and then I rolled out of the way of multiple unicorn fire on me. These ponies are fucking crazy! But the news is… I'm crazy as well. As I charged at them all I could tell they weren't expecting that as they all put quick looks of fear on their faces but then they snapped out of it as they all charged me as well. As I slide kicked 3 of them into the air I somehow appeared above them and I super kicked all three of them out of the arena and as I landed there was a flash of black and white. "Sister! He broke a spell that I could break! The Light magic in him must of broken it!" I heard Luna say as I punched a earth pony into a unicorn and caused it to fire into the air taking out several Pegasus. But as I punched the pony there was a flash of both black and white again but this time the white was more than the black. As I jumped back I continued to concentrate but nothing happened. "All I bloody want is my shield and sword!" I yelled and then there was a flash of white and black and when I looked I saw I had a black shield and white sword with my left arm and a white shield with a black sword on my right. As I looked at them I smiled as I looked at them all running away a little. "What afraid to play anymore?" I said as I charged them as I charged them I teleported into the middle of them and used the shields to smack everypony in my radius before I teleported again and did the same thing. Except after my third try I was blasted by magic into a wall and I fell onto the ground. "Now I wish I had some bloody armor." I said standing up and there was another flash of the same colors and when I looked at myself I was wearing armor. So light magic doesn't work the same way as dark magic… I had to actually say what I wanted. Let me try something. "bow." And immediately the white sword in my hand started to changed shape into a white bow and when I pulled the string back a black arrow appeared in its draw and I could see the faces of all the guards and even the princesses while rose was watching with wonder at what was happening. As I took aim I shot true and it went straight at a Pegasus in the air. If only it could split. And with that thought it split into several more arrows and they all went straight at multiple other Pegasus and I watched as each one hit them and I saw electricity course through their body before starting to fall and was caught and moved to the side. I wonder. "Dark bow." And with that the bow changed color and when I pulled back the bow string a white arrow appeared. As I aimed once again but this time at the unicorns I fired. "Magic EMP." And with that in the middle of the large group a large shockwave rang out and whatever weapon the unicorns were holding with their magic fell to the ground. "Swords and shields." And with that I charged into the group once more.
Luna's POV
Whatever Luke was doing was working. I think he figured out how to use his light magic but how did he break the spell that was keeping his dark magic blocked? It must have been his light magic. But why? I didn't see him do anything or say anything and I could tell he wasn't trying. Did the light magic actually did it for him? Magic shouldn't even be alive. I watched with Celestia and rose as he knocked out guard after guard and we watched in amazement. He just finished knocking out 5 guards with one kick from his armored leg sending them through a wall and then drop kicked several more. "I'm glad he isn't an enemy of Equestria sister." Celestia told me. I must really agree with her on that. If he was against Equestria there would be no way for us to win. "His light magic acts when he says something. But it uses the darkness magic to help make it like the dark needs the light to help it. We will have to either study him further or eliminate him." Eliminate him! But he has been loyal to us since the very beginning. He even adopted a young foal that had just lost her parents and she treats like me, Celestia, and shadow as her mother. It's heart breaking that my sister would even say even think that at all. We continued to watch until it was just him… and his trained eternal guards. But then something weird happened. I noticed something radiating off of the armor and it looked like more magic. But when I thought it was the light and dark magic… I was wrong when I saw the colors. It had every single color. Red, blue, green, yellow, gray, purple… he had them all radiating off of him. But the strongest that was radiating off of him… was pink. And pink means love. "Celestia look at his armor real closely." I told her. As I watched her squint at his armor she than had a look of surprise on her face. "He has almost every single magical element in him." Magical element! That's not good. Red if for fire, blue for water, green for nature, yellow for sunlight, gray for moonlight, and purple… if that's in the armor it means that all of the magic is in a pure form. And he doesn't even know it. The only other one that I know has purple is Celestia's student, Twilight sparkle. As we continued to watch I watched his head slump forward before there was yet another flash and when it died down we all gasped. Standing in front of Luke were 5 more human figures each in a different colored armor. As me and my sister watched in shock as Luke fell over the one in red quickly caught him and put him against the wall. "Man it feels good to be free for once!" the red one said stretching.
"Of course it does rage. You all ready?" the blue one said.
"Hell yeah!" the yellow one said as they all charged the eternal guards who were still standing there in shock. Rage… those are his emotions… that have come alive! Red is for rage, blue is for sadness, yellow is for curiosity, green for happiness, and pink for love. As we watched we could see that each and almost every one of them were defeated except for the pink that was still in the same spot. As we watched the eternal guards look at each other they than charged the pink. But as soon as they reached the pink they were all sent flying. "So fast!" I heard my sister whisper as she gasped. So the pink armor just moved! And it looked like it didn't even move. As we continued to watch it we watched the eternal guards start to get smacked around from a pink blur that was barely visible for us to see. One by one they all fell until they were all down. Pink….. If that is the strongest than he must be in love with somepony here. But who. We watched as the armored beings than disappeared and we watched Luke get up rubbing his head. "What the hell just happened? I was about to start fighting my guards when I felt something in my head. What happened?" Luke asked standing back up and walking over. If he doesn't know what happened than that will be a problem whenever he uses that. Unless what happens is random. "Sister we need to talk to Twilight about this." I said.
"Yes we do sister. We will send him to Ponyville until he fully understands all of the magic in him and can use it." She said. He would be there for quite a while and I know rose will not be happy of him going. As we watched a smile was on his face as he was playing with rose. Maybe we could let him take rose and enroll her at the school there for now. "Well sister will need to send the eternal guards with him for training. They aren't even close to finished. And I'm still amazed at the sight we just saw sister." Well I guess I'm the one that's going to have to tell him this.
