Sometime between The End of the End and The Last Problem...
As victory and reconstruction came in one world, defeat and destruction arrived to another.
A world, once colorful and flourishing with life, was now turned into hell. The sky darkened to dark red, fiery hail rained down onto the surface of the planet, cooking it. The air boiled and fires rampaged and destroyed everything in its path. Blood swept down the streets like a river, and cries of pain and death were heard throughout the world.
On a far cliff, a white alicorn viewed the scenery. Blood stained his fur, coating it red. Behind him was a army, but one already destroyed. Dark pools of blood drained from their bodies, streaming down towards his hooves, staining them red. His eyes glowed red with fury, scanning everywhere. One of the bodies that still survived lifted itself up, charging at the alicorn with a gleaming red sword. Without even glancing back, the alicorn swung his right hoof backwards, a glowing yellow sword encasing his hoof completely. With one swing, his foe fell instantly, his body convulsing as his spirit left him to be once again reborn. The white alicorn continued to look at the burning city, his eyes neutral.
Slowly behind him a burning alicorn began to come into view, her fur yellow white and her mane set ablaze, moving like fire. The white alicorn turned to meet her, clearly not happy to see her.
"I thought I told you to kill every single one of them." The white alicorn stated, directing to the foe he just killed. The fiery alicorn gave the same irritated expression.
"And I told you to spare them." She said, her eyes glowing. "Tell me, what personal gain do you get from killing them?"
The white alicorn looked down, not wanting to see her directly in her eyes.
"Revenge. They took everything from me. Now I'm taking everything from them." The white alicorn looked up at the city. He lifted his hoof, pointing at the city. A sudden energy ball appeared from it and blasted through the air and at the city. An eerie silence was heard, before the city suddenly was vaporized, any survivors killed immediately, their souls leaving their bodies. The other alicorn looked at him with anger.
"Why did you do that!? What's wrong with you!?" Her body glowed brighter, her fiery mane expanding. The white alicorn stared at her with disgust.
"What's wrong with you! I can't believe that even after seeing what they did to us you have the insanity to give them mercy!" The white alicorn growled. Their powers began to skyrocket, clearly each one irritated by the other. The white alicorn suddenly widened his eyes as he realized a fatal mistake they had done, and the fiery alicorn realized a second later as well.
The sky began to crackle with energy as a vortex began to appear in the sky. The white alicorn growled.
"Now they know where we are. Hurry! We must flee and return another time and place before we perish along with the rest of our kin!" The white alicorn yelled. He then felt something looming behind them. He suddenly spun around, already ducking and forming an energy blade. A dark red wind beam sliced the air where his head was as the white alicorn ran underneath, throwing three glowing spears at the attacker. The spears connected, impaling a dark red figure. A evil laughter rang through the pair's ears as the beams were pulled further in by the figure's own body, melting and disappearing forever.
Another attack came, this time aimed at the fiery yellow alicorn. The fiery alicorn ducked, her body instinctively moving, dodging every single wind beam minus the last two. One grazed her left side just a bit, causing her to wince in pain, enough for another one to graze her left hoof, causing her to completely collapse as she lost balance. The red figure turned into a shadowy mist, racing at her at solidifying above her, a dark red sword ready to impale her. The mare swiftly rolled out of the way and hit him with her back hooves. The figure was thrown backwards, giving the glowing female alicorn time to get up on her feet. Before the red figure could prepare another attack, he felt someone behind him.
A rainbow orb covered his view. The red figure could feel an incredible power coming from it. He looked up and saw that its user was the white alicorn he tried to kill first. The alicorn grinned.
"Dodge this."
The orb suddenly shot forward, entering the figure. Nothing happened for a moment, until the effects kicked in. The figure screamed as his body began to tore itself apart. Slowly he was reduced to nothing as the remains of his soul, now as stardust, were dispersed by the wind.
"This is why I never spare anyone of them." The white alicorn said as he and the fiery alicorn began to walk away. "Let's go."
Unbeknownst to the pair, another being had entered the arena and began to follow them.
The pair continued to walk, not bothering to use their wings. The air was too dense for them to use them anyways, and their energies had to be maintained at a all time low to be hidden by any form of energy tracker if more uninvited guests were to arrive, and using energy was the only way to fly here. They then reached a flat surface, with strange ruins embedded in the ground.
"Pendor!"
The runes began to shake as a sudden light emitted from each symbol, each in a different color. A portal opened in the middle, a tear in the fabric of space and time forming. The fiery alicorn glanced at the white alicorn with confusion.
"What does 'Pendor' mean?" The fiery alicorn asked. The white alicorn looked at her in bewilderment.
"How can you already forget our culture?" The white alicorn asked with sorrow. "'Pendor' means 'Open'. You could had guessed easily with the two parts. 'Pen' sounds like 'Open' without the 'O' and 'dor' sounds like 'door'. 'Pendor'. Open the Door. Get it?" The white alicorn looked at the fiery alicorn. She sighed.
"Sorry. I'm... still shaken, especially with the rest of our friends gone. What do you think happened to them?" The fiery alicorn asked to the white alicorn. The white alicorn was about to answer when his ear twitch. "Spe-?"
"Hey you there!"
The two turned around to see a dark figure in a cloak. It was another alicorn, but this one was made from pure shadows. A dark aura encased him. The white alicorn look and saw that on the mysterious alicorn's sides were two objects. They each were large, hard to handle with, and had each a barrel.
And it was pointing at him.
"I heard you took down one of my soldiers after saying this line. I'm going to make sure you pay for him. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth as they say! Or more better said in this case..." His eyes glowed red, piercing through his shadowy aura. "...life for life. " The dark being chuckled as two 'clicks' were heard as the barrels were turned clockwise, locking into something.
"Dodge this." The alicorn said evilly with a grin. Suddenly the barrels suddenly sparked with light, and the white alicorn suddenly began to stagger and twitch as holes were being tore through his body. Blood began to pour out as various 'clicks' were heard from the barrels. The white alicorn, stunned with shock and pain, suddenly fell backwards onto the ground, right when a 'CLICK CLICK' was heard from the barrels. The cloaked alicorn looked at the barrels in disgust and threw them away, each dissolving into nothing.
"No no no no no!" The fiery alicorn yelled as she rushed towards the bloody alicorn. His breathing was erratic and fading. Blood dripped from his mouth and when he coughed it would jump out and cover the ground and his fur. The fiery alicorn placed her hoof on his chest, feeling his heart. Her eyes widened when she felt something lodged inside of his chest. Using her magic, she delicately pulled it out, earning a scream of agony. When it came out she saw something that shocked both of them.
A bullet.
"Aren't bullets supposed to be invented thousands if not millions of years in the future?" The fiery alicorn said.
"Y-yeah..." The white alicorn said, coughing more. The fiery alicorn proceeded to heal him, his wounds disappearing and all of the bullets disappearing.
"Then how could he had gotten such advanced weapon...?" The fiery alicorn stated, before suddenly feeling a chill going down her spine. The sound of a gun being reloaded was heard and suddenly she felt the barrel being shoved next to her head. She looked up, her eyes the size of dot as she saw the cloaked alicorn. She saw the familiar grew ring around his horn, and a unearthly glow coming from it. The dark alicorn laughed.
"Now you know how I did." The dark alicorn said. "You know out of all of your group, you two were the hardest bunch to find and kill. The rest, hah! They didn't stood a chance against the likes of me." The alicorn said. Anger poured into her veins.
"So you were the one who killed them?!" The female alicorn barked, terrified to see the one who caused her friends and family to die now ready to finish her off too. The dark alicorn laughed.
"Yes. It was quite a thrill hearing them scream. The amount of blood on my hoofs, it excited me. Knowing that I am this close to finishing my goal delights me. Out of all the nobles there were, only two remain. But now it's time for you two to pay." The dark alicorn said, ready to press the trigger. The mare thought about closing her eyes, but she forced herself to remain them open. If this was the way to go, she would do so with dignity by looking at her foe.
Suddenly a beam of energy struck the dark alicorn's horn, causing her to yell in pain as it overloaded him. The gun which was aimed at her fired, but missed due to the lack of concentration from the amount of pain caused by the beam. A magical aura grabbed it and pointed it at the dark alicorn. The mare saw her companion pointing it at the dark alicorn with a sadistic smile.
"You shouldn't had told us the truth." The white alicorn said, before pressing the trigger, shooting load after load into his foe. The dark alicorn twitched, before dying, turning into dust and leaving behind the ring. The white alicorn suddenly collapsed out of sheer exhaustion.
"Are you okay?!" The fiery mare asked as she ran towards the white alicorn. He smiled.
"Yes I am. Now our work is done. I think he was their leader right?" The white alicorn asked. The fiery alicorn shrugged. "Hard to tell right? Either ways, they lost either their leader or a general. What they followed will soon backfire on them as the lack of order will destroy them all. I think it's okay to say that we won..." The white alicorn said before looking in front of him in terror. There was the cloaked alicorn along with the entire army that he had just killed.
"W-w-w-what...?!"
"Surprised?" The dark red alicorn asked. The white alicorn gritted his teeth.
"I must be delusional! If I could kill you before I can kill you again!" The white alicorn roared before unleashing a devastating ball of magic, which effectively destroyed most, if not the entire army. The dead turned into dust, before suddenly a new group which looked exactly like them replaced their spots.
"Oh you're not, but you wish you were." The cloaked alicorn chuckled while lifting a grey ring. "Before you happened to kill me, I experimented this so called 'Time Ring' of yours that our people, as in your people and what I used to call my people before being... betrayed by them, had." His voice was neutral, neither natural nor robotic, but somewhere between. "I was able to unlock it's full potential. Not only could I move vast armies across space, time, and other dimensions, but I could also do this." The cloaked alicorn then suddenly killed one of his own soldiers, who then turned into dust and reappeared again. "The power of the paradoxes. Even if you were trillions of times stronger than us, we'd always return again. As a bonus we can keep the power we had before our deaths and increase it many times. Even if we'd never reached such hypothetical power, we could just wear you out until you eventually die when your power runs out." He laughed as he said the final part. "Checkmate."
The two alicorns looked at each other in fright. The other side was right. No matter how many times they killed them, they would only return to finish them off later. They would lose, before the battle even began, because it would be impossible to defeat them from the start. A sudden glow obscured their vision as the cloaked figure prepared to finish them with a high intense magical ball.
"When you go to the place where your friends and family are, tell them that the new king greets them. That king, being me." The cloaked alicorn said before placing the ball in its pre-release form. "Any last words?" The alicorn asked. The white alicorn gulped before sighing.
"Yes I do. But not with you but with her." The white alicorn said, pointing at the mare. The 'King' chuckled.
"Go on. Make it as long as you want. I got all the time in the world right now." The evil alicorn said, chuckling. The white alicorn picked something from the ground and hid it, with his back facing them to obscure their vision. He faced at the fiery alicorn who looked at him with sadness.
"I'm so sorry Spe-" The mare said before being hugged by the white alicorn. Tears felled down his cheeks, and soon the fiery alicorn also dropped her own tears.
"I know. I know. I know..." The white alicorn said, stroking her mane, consoling her. A feeling of protecting and security was placing inside of her as the two bonded. "... we'll have to be brave now. I know you're scared, and I'm scared as well, but together we'll figure out this problem."
"But how!? They are the true significance of immortality and invincibility combined! We can only live forever until someone kills us! They can be killed and returned again!" The mare cried out to him, desperation in her voice. He smiled as he placed a golden ring on her horn, earning a blush from her. "W-w-what is the meaning of this? Sure I-i-i-i... ya know... to you, but... is this even the time for linking!?" The mare stuttered. He smiled.
"You can say it's that, but it's also something else." The white alicorn said, before touching the tip of her horn with his. Her blush only grew greater at this act. Then suddenly the white alicorn poured all of his remaining energy into her horn, causing the ring to spark to life. She was then trapped in a shield that was patterned with hour, minute, and second hands. Immediately the cloaked figure realized what was going to happen and growled.
"GET HER! KILL HER!" He yelled. The moment he gave the order, the air was filled with beams of energy, only to be blocked by the white alicorn with a heavy force field.
"Spe-?" The mare was about to ask him again only to be caught off by him. A face of confidence and hope filled his face, even though his shield was already breaking up.
"See you soon." The white alicorn said before the hands that represented time began to tick, slowly at first before faster than usual. By the time the hands were all a blur, she was way up in the sky. She witness the white alicorn's shield breaking down, his body falling towards the ground, from either pure exhaustion or death. The cloaked alicorn shot up towards the sky, ready to blast her out of the orb, when she heard a voice.
"May Time and Space guide you to protect the universe, Magic."
The cloaked alicorn, the ground below, the sky, the whole world, everything was suddenly stripped away from her as she suddenly felt her body lurch in a direction that was neither forward, nor backward, nor left or right, nor up or down or any combination of them all, but was both unique and same to all, before her vision became white.
Down on the ground the cloaked alicorn looked up to see the orb which was so close to him, suddenly disappear. He shot down to the ground, growling at the white alicorn.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU NOW!" The cloaked alicorn yelled, taking out his sword to impale the white alicorn. The white alicorn, seeing death in front of his eyes, only chuckled as he saw a flash of light reappear in the sky.
"We're all already dead." The white alicorn said. The cloaked alicorn was about to respond when suddenly the ground shook. What can best be described as nothingness began to fill their eyesight, engulfing everything in its path. The void of anything dissolved anything it touched, and soon the cloaked alicorn realized what was happening.
"DON'T THINK THAT ENDING ME HERE WILL END ME IN OTHER PLACES! I'LL COME BACK SOON! YOU'LL SEE! YOU'LL SEE!" The cloaked alicorn yelled before being silenced forever as Nothingness took them over...
Author's Note:
This is Part One of the Two Part Chapter of "Mayhem".
The next part is coming, will come, and is already here.
Like Comment Subscribe and Follow to see how this affects the future (as in Twilight and her friends) in the next part of the story.
And if anyone can create a more better version of the language (considering I had only English characters to play with and I'm just starting French while also knowing Spanish) or create and entire new language I would like to see them try.
For next episode you'll see a bunch of world languages used but yet again if someone can make an entire new language to use that'd be great!
If you feel that this story is worthy of being rated as a M, please notify me. In my opinion this falls in the same category as the Dragon Ball series, more notably the Z series, especially with all villains and most deaths
