The mad bullet flew faster and faster towards its target, Twilight, seeing a bullet of six powers, closed her eyes listening to what had come, sewn in was shaken by a strange eruption and shock wave, Twilight heard nothing for a moment, thought that it was finally death caught her but as soon as she won courageous and opened her eyes saw in front of her the image of red and black armor and a man standing with his back to it with a blue shield stretched out in front of him.
- Alex. Said Twilight Sparkle, looking hopefully at the man who threw his shield with all his might, hitting the seven-headed monster right in the central head.
The Hydra-pony stepped back a few steps, measuring the seams of his heads against the new enemy who was walking straight at him with a hammer and shield in his hands with a gleaming gold point on his forehead and a white point on his chest of steel cybernetic armor, the monster roared loudly, wanting to scare his enemy but the man did not he even stopped a step, showing no light and darkness to the monster, and no hints of fear, in the end Alex, holding his shield high, lunged at the huge monster which was much larger than himself, Alex in the first move grew to a form of twenty meters and twisted the first quick blow he struck the hammer of thunder several times with the third hit to the ground, releasing the waves of thunder spreading around the great monster.
The monster jumped above the human and, focusing its central head, seemed to absorb the thunderbolts that had been released by the human, the monster jumped in front of the human, striking with terrifying speed with its terrible heads, trying to bite and strike, the monster, strengthening each blow, used the speed and momentum of its own body by twisting the rapid spins, and seven heads, gaining physical strength and speed, pierced by the powers of the elements began to strike from almost every side.
The first series of blows of the Hydra-pony fell at the human, hitting and deflecting series of thunder hammer blows, ending with blows to the shield, jaws and elemental powers each time causing strong explosions of power pushing the human back. Alex quickly sheathed the hammer for the next blow, replacing it with his sword, and, standing on his knees and heels, twisted a few quick turns, but each time his blows hit the jaws sparkling with ice, fire, lightning, water, air and earth, which began to emit strong pulses. with a triple strike, the monster struck a fiery and slightly frosted sword of a man, a second series of quick blows from a jump hit the shield held by two, the jaws of the power of wind and stone struck with a bang, knocking the man off balance, bringing him off the ground, finally the seventh head grabbed the shield and swiftly with a jerk, she raised the shield and the man high to hit the ground three times, as Alex was driven into the ground and the Hydra-Pony completed his attack with a shot of six missiles that plunged the unprotected man deep into the cracked rocks.
The monster did not stop in his fight, seeing his chance, he rushed to another faster series of blows, but this time Alex jumped out of the hole while swinging a fiery sword and a thunder ax, turning faster and faster and accumulating more and more power with each blow, and Hydra -Pony come overwhelmed and hit on five heads managed to jump to the left to twist his whole body and hit with all his strength with seven heads, the strength and power that was released when the power-charged jaws hit the rushing ax and the sword caused a large shock wave which drew the surprised man back and it was not over yet, the monster lunged with another series of blows attacking from every possible side, right, left, top and bottom. Now Alex was on the defensive.
The monster began to snap, tear, strike, and with each blow Alex began to lose his balance more and more, finally another series flipped the ax, the sword aside and hit the human right in the chest and stomach causing a deep break in the armor, Alex jumped between the next series of blows slipping between necks, Alex was about to attack again, trying to hit the central head with the crossed ax and sword, but he was again surprised by the powerful blow of two hooves that almost knocked him down, but it became true when the creature used six powers simultaneously spitting a beam of six elemental power from its central head, Alex was not only pushed away from the monster, but also blown up by ragged elemental explosions.
The monster took advantage of the situation again, throwing its jaws at the human. Terrible jaws tightened on the left and right hands of the man, causing him to completely immobilize him, this allowed the three heads of the monster to attack without end, the monster began to strike ruthlessly and with each hit the man's armor began to break, but Alex himself did not show signs of fear or pain, on the contrary shocked Twilight who watched the whole fight heard laughter.
- Alex, what are you doing, no !, we have to help him. Twilight Sparkle said as she took the first step forward but was knocked off by another shockwave.
- Twilight don't even go over there, it's too dangerous. Spike said as he walked over on his knees to the recumbent Twilight.
- so what can we do if this monster. He said twilight, but another strong eruption interrupted her again.
The next series of blows was stopped by a sudden beam from the chest laser and the golden eye on the human's forehead, the Hydra-Pony was pushed back and suddenly began to fall into the space of the portal which, grabbing it in half, suddenly began to fade, before the portal slammed trying to cut through the monster itself Hydra- The pony managed to teleport to the other side.
The Hydra-Pony roared loudly, challenging the man to continue fighting and Alex grabbed his bow, illuminated the golden symbol on his forehead and the chest laser, then turned towards the monster, firing a rapid series of arrows, but each of the arrows never reached the monster whose reaction was as fast, the monster jumped to the other side and attacked spitting out a beam of water, wind and earth, but his attempt also proved to be futile, Alex used his own quickly appearing portals to fight, which took him each time in a different direction.
This is how the game of stalking began, when the monster appeared in one place among the cracked rocks and fired his missile of six elements, his power only hit the void, Alex quickly jumped into space avoiding his blows, and so did the human attempts when jumping between elemental attacks he stopped in a safe place to make a clear shot, each time the ice arrow, the pectoral laser beam and the golden beam of knowledge hit only the ground and the shadow of the Hydra-pony that jumped with rapid teleportation between human attacks.
For a while it was a fight without a winner, each time Alex would jump across the battlefield in the quick leaps of his speeding portals and, pulling the string, he would shoot his opponent so that his own arrows would only hit the void the moment his opponent created light and dark did exactly the same . And the observing ponies, dragons and the spirit of chaos did not know for a moment who was who when their eyes appeared streaks of penetrating shadows, portals and flashes, and all this was ended with strong explosions that even awakened the huge dragon unconscious.
- what's up. Asked Torch, lying on his side.
- Dad, you are safe and sound. Ember said.
- Ember, what's going on here, and the monster!. Torch shouted as he saw streaks, explosions from the destruction that two opponents had done.
- two monsters!, Not only that!. Torch shouted again.
- one of them is our ally. Ember said, reassuring her father.
In the meantime, the Hydra-Pony, seeing that his strategy would not bring him an advantage, made a few blows trying to shoot long rays at the man, when Alex jumped through the portal to the right, the monster's neck and heads soared to the right, and the beast of light and darkness itself jumped into the portal twice. with a bang and with all his power hit six heads with his rays at a man, Alex hit in the back fell to the ground, crushed and blown up by another terrible power that was released into him.
- stop you monster!. Twilight Sparkle screamed.
- it is impossible for him to fail. Discord said in the image of the explosions taking place one after another.
Soon the force of the explosion was pushed back by the raised shield, Alex emerged from the crater with severe cracks in his armor, shirt and shirt with a visible scar on his chest, but nevertheless Alex continued on his opponent, this time they both faced each other, the seven-headed monster roared defiantly and Alex illuminated the power of his chest laser and the golden mark on his forehead.
Two opponents unleashed a mighty power clashing with each other, causing the earth to cut through an area of one hundred meters, two beams of power, a golden beam of knowledge and a white beam of the chest laser hit the beam of six power heads of all elements, for a long moment it was another fight resembling a wrestling on the hand lasting a long moment, the Hydra-Pony under the pressure of the human power, not wanting to retreat, began to sink into the ground, his black and white hooves were digging deeper and deeper into the ground and cracked rocks, while the man probably did not even shake while standing.
For a moment it seemed that this fight would last forever, and until the seventh head unleashed its own beam of combined powers, it was the moment when the monster repelled the human beam in less than three seconds and threw it off the ground, thrusting it deeply beyond the sight of the ponies watching him. and dragons.
- Not!. Twilight cried, unable to bear the sight of the fall of the man in whom she placed the greatest hopes for her world.
- Twilight! We must run while we have a chance to escape. Discord said, discovering he could teleport everyone.
The words of the spirit of chaos, however, were picked up by the one who should not have heard them, and the terrible monster from its central jaw threw a fused ball hitting between dragons, ponies and the spirit of chaos, scattering them fifty yards away. The creature laughed a strange squeal and soared into the sky to exert all its fury on the greatest of dragons, a bruised Torch could not move, could only watch as the terrible being of light and dark began to accumulate all its power to strike him with all his might.
Before the monster struck, his own daughter stood in front of the big dragon, wanting to protect him with her own cut.
- no daughter. Run, you hear.
- I will not leave you, Dad, you hear, and you monster go away. Ember said, spreading her hands wide.
As if summoned by the blue dragon, the monster was thrown aside as his own powers exploded in front of him after a rushing shield struck, suddenly a man flew from the sky and a new portal, hitting the monster's seventh central head with his ax force, and the power of combined thunder over the flames and the golden power of knowledge caused the monster in agony to roar as hard as it could as it hit the ground causing another explosion.
- it's Alex, he's still alive. Rainbow Dash said, watching Alex hit the ground with all her might before the monster leaping to the side, suddenly struck by the power of thunder, laser and golden knowledge.
- don't give up, please. Twilight Sparkle whispered as she watched the second round of the great duel.
Alex grabbed the hammer and the shield with red power spun the fiery sword and the ax of thunder, the Hydra-Pony screamed directing his more attention to the man and less to the rushing weapon, the monster started fighting again with a similar strategy, hitting it from the right to the left, trying to throw the man off balance but this time his six heads met with fiery and electric blades of an ax and a sword hitting from all sides, and the thunder hammer and blue shield were turning the revolutions carried by red power, tossing it right to left, surprised heads giving the man a greater chance for a clean shot.
Alex using his powers to the full, changed the strategies, this time grasping the thunder hammer and the shield, hitting the shield and the hammer at the same time, and the sword and ax soared into the sky, carried by the red power, and each time the shield and the hammer hit the surprised heads with a twist and a jump. to stronger and stronger explosions of off balance heads and their own powers, the monster began to bite, strike and jerk again, its heads hit the shield and the hammer crossed with it, a certain chance was born when the man pulled the hammer back, it was the monster's chance, his two heads rushed forward but before they struck from the sky a rushing fiery sword fell on them, breaking the first thick plastic layer of the power of the two heads, allowing the man to pull the thunder hammer with all his strength, when it hit and the hammer with a bang hit the two heads of the Hydra-Pony remained thrown back four meters as his two heads flailed limply unconscious the other screamed as hard as they could y.
The Hydra-Pony charged again, trying to strike, stab and bite with all his might, this time his jaw effectively clamped on the speeding ax and sword, but this attack did not give any advantage, the sword and the ax swirled in a circle, tying four surprised heads, and Alex with He threw the shield with all his might and the hammer, which followed a strong explosion, struck together with the shield on the heads bound together. The powerful blast of power threw the monster back several meters back with such force that the monster sat down.
This time it was Alex who took advantage of his opportunity charging the monster and withdrawing his sword and ax, the monster of light and dark, seeing the coming man and having access to one conscious head for a moment, screamed loudly and shot an open mouth in a truly lightning attack, trying to catch the man, Alex saw the approaching man. the blow threw the hammer aside and the shield aside in half a second, then he grabbed the great jaw with both hands and, using his strength, threw the monster over himself several times, hitting the cracked rock with it, causing another strong seismic wave.
When Alex released the monster's head, he jumped and twisted his ax to the right, hitting the seventh central head with all his might, causing another bang, sparking the sheer power of many elements, and the bursting of the spiral horn on the top of the seventh head, it seemed that after such a series of blows the monster would be at least lethargic, but he regaining his strength and the self in all heads, he charged the man again, grabbing both hands with his four jaws, for a moment Alex was completely paralyzed by the four jaws of a terrible monster holding him in his hands, and the Hydra-Pony himself was supposed to take advantage of the momentary advantage, but when his three heads got ready to attack from both sides the sword and ax were struck simultaneously, which, wielded by the red power, struck with all their strength on the four heads clenched on the armed hands of the man, the four heads of the monster squealed, hitting the ground as the ax and the sword cut through their first plastic layer of black and white metallic substance, less than a second later when the man's hands were released, the shield and the hammer returned simultaneously.
Alex struck twice with his shield with his known speed, bouncing the huge monster's left right head to the side, but when the central head lunged and opened its jaws with emanating power, Alex hit the hammer with all his might, pushing his hammer straight into the monster's jaws, suddenly the monster's central head she fell to the ground, pulled down by the thunder hammer set by the man, for a few seconds the monster was completely paralyzed when its central head was trapped.
Alex, taking advantage of the next opportunity, raised his sword and ax high at the same time to hit the stuck monster, but neither the sword nor the ax were ever able to hit the monster which, using the power of the portals, jumped into the distance before the fatal blow.
- oh no, he is repeating that strategy again, now the coward will start to teleport. Discord said, staring wide-eyed at the monster accumulating elemental powers in its mouths.
- be careful!. Twilight Sparkle screamed seeing the first rays shooting straight at the man.
As before, and now the rays fired from the mouth of the Hydra-Pony hit the void, and Alex stood on the other side, grabbing his bow and closing his eyes, which for many was shocking, the monster began to jump on the battlefield again, throwing from every possible direction and behind each time long beams and fast rushing power orbs, every time the monster's power orbs were passed by a man who did not run in the portals instead he rushed between powers, jumped and slipped under them to finally jump into a single portal and fired a fast rushing arrow but not directly into the monster and into the target location of the teleporting monster, ready to strike again with its power. As the monster moved elsewhere to spit its six elemental power, its attempt ended with its own power bursting under the force of an ice arrow's explosion in a manner reminiscent of falling dominoes.
The monster fell from its feet to the ground under the pressure of its own powers and human powers, when the monster looked at the human, he saw something that shook him, the human armor was fully regenerated and the monster with a scream of frustration feeling the sting of fear began to challenge the human, actually the monster was waiting for the first move man but he never lived to see him, not what he expected, Alex instead of attacking him began to laugh loudly, this caused an indescribable wave of anger in the Hydra-Pony, the monster jumped again into the portal to strike with all his might, but to his surprise as soon as it appeared in the chosen place in front of him stood a man with closed eyes and right hand extended, hand laser fired three times throwing the monster off its hooves and causing another series of explosions.
The Hydra-Pony was thrown from his hooves again as all the power he had in his mouth was blown up with him. The monster of light and darkness rose again to its feet and jumped three times trying to confuse the man, but once again he was surprised in front of the man standing in front of him, Alex using much more power of his chest laser hit the monster which squealed seven times in the moment of seven explosions and a loud hit on the cracked earth, the monster was first knocked onto his back and for a moment he did not dare to get up, believing that the man would not attack now but it was his biggest mistake.
Alex appeared above him, showering him with an endless fire of red missiles and bullets above the flames released from clenched fists, hitting red and fiery balls with a bang caused more and more explosions and a cloud of dust, between the explosions one could only hear the screech of a monster screaming in pain he felt with each strong blow, the fires and red power almost deformed his steel malleable body and the forces of the explosion took away another layer of his white and black metallic body.
Meanwhile, the watching dragons and ponies began to cheer loudly, except for the spirit of chaos who, for perhaps the first time in his life, began to worry about someone other than his best friend Fluttershy.
- wait, and what about Pillars, what about Stygian and Star Swirl, if a man kills the being of light and dark what will happen to them ?. Discord raised his voice and his words shocked everyone's hearts.
- but how, after all, man only wants to destroy this vile Hydra-Pony. Pinkie Pie said, looking at the explosions following one after another.
- wait, Twilight, just don't tell me that the destruction of the Hydra-Pony will mean the destruction of everyone inside this monster. Rarity asked.
- is it possible. Rainbow Dash asked.
- unfortunately it is very possible, if Alex does not stop it will destroy not only the Hydra-Pony but everyone who was consumed by him!. Twilight Sparkle screamed looking at the man bombarding the monster of the light of darkness.
- so what can we do now. Fluttershy asked.
- I think you need to inform him somehow. Spike suggested.
- but how, from a distance, he will certainly not hear us, and with this bang and it is better not to get too close to it. Garble rightly noticed when another of the fireballs and red bullets exploded with a bang.
- so what to do. Ember asked, coming closer with her father who regained full consciousness and some strength.
- maybe I can help somehow. Torch suggested.
- you know, I'm the biggest and the strongest here, so. The great dragon added, but his proposal met only with his daughter's sharp gaze.
- I won't let you go there, it's too dangerous !. Ember screamed.
Suddenly all the explosions stopped, the Hydra-Pony collapsed, his whole cracked body was shaking with pain and suffering, Alex landed calmly in front of the monster, preparing for the final blow, before he activated the power on the forehead of the golden ray, he was stopped by Twilight's voice.
- Alex wait, you cannot destroy him, this thing has our friends in it, this monster has swallowed them, the monster's destruction also means the doom of our friends. Twilight Sparkle screamed.
- exactly man. Said the Hydra-Pony in his muddy foul voice, his jaws wide and revealing the faces of the absorbed ponies to all.
- I have an advantage over you today, hero. Said Hydra the pony charging another power for the final fight.
- you really believe that I am a hero!, ha ha, ha, ha, first of all I am a madman fighting for the common good!, If I have to sacrifice each of you !, for the common good. Alex said.
The Hydra-Pony threw his six elemental ray from the six maws, which was immediately halted in place by one golden beam of knowledge from the man's forehead and his golden symbol, the fight for destruction began again, but this time Alex used only the power of the golden beam to fight, if he wanted to prove to his opponent that he was just as weak, that was what was about to turn out.
Meanwhile, Twilight standing nearby did not know how to properly understand the words of a man who said about the common good, about madness, about the sacrifice of one of them, so new questions arose, including the most important question whether a man could be capable of evil deeds to defend their world, i.e. as a whole, this question was to be resolved shortly.
The monster, as before, strengthened its attack with the power of the central head, which spat from its mouth an additional beam of the power of the six elements and slowly began to push the human power until the golden ray of the human grew in strength and became a whole meter in diameter and the man shouted with all his might at the monster.
- you really think that your wretched powers will do something here, you really think that you will meet me !, naive fool meet the face of real power!. As the man spoke, more beams of a meter in diameter shot out, a chest laser beam, a beam above the flames from his left hand, and a red beam from his clenched right fist.
Everything around the man began to burst, as did the beam of the Hydra-Pony's combined powers under the onslaught of his beam of combined powers, laser, red power and golden beam, Alex suddenly moved towards the monster of light and dark only to give him an even better picture of his inevitable failures.
- say if you see it!, you can see the impending doom!, say it!. He screamed Alex in a terrifying voice, except for one concerned soul fearing for the lives of his friends.
- you don't do it, you are a hero!. Screamed the Hydra-Pony as suddenly his six element beam shattered to pieces and the rays of man struck the essence of light and dark with terrifying consistency.
Alex led the tireless attack, crushing his defeated enemy into the ground, between the sparkling rumble one could only hear the scream and screech of the monster and those he had devoured.
On the other side, the observers of the great battle wanted to do something to stop the man, they shouted but in vain, the man did not stop the attack until everything around the monster exploded. As the cloud descended, everyone saw the sight of a man landing his ax with the power of fire, red power, a chest laser and a golden ray, when he finished he turned all his attention to the monster lying in front of him, which stretched out its head screaming in a last voice full of pain and suffering.
- you won't. The monster said, all his heads at once.
The words of the monster caused a smile of insanity on the face of the man charging in a frenetic attack with an ax in his hand, in front of everyone's eyes, against their pleas and screams, Alex swung his ax once from right to left, the rushing blade of the ax struck with all its might beheading all the heads of the great monster one by one, seven heads fell in front of the man and the monster but it was not over yet, Alex again disappeared in the portal below him to appear in the sky and, gaining momentum, he collapsed into a black and white body of the monster hitting with all his might, thus another shock wave was created stronger than anything else, the wave knocked off the great defending dragon, Torch rolled over the ground to look at the terrible sight of what was once his home.
A large crater with a man standing in its center, everyone saw seven steaming holes, evidence of destroyed heads and in the heart there was a cracked essence of the monster, no one can believe what Alex did, on the one hand he overcame the greatest threat to their world, but on the other hand led to the doom of their friends and former heroes.
- he did it, why. Fluttershy said, starting to cry.
- it is impossible. Applejack said in shock.
- now he ruined my day. Pinkie Pie said, releasing her own tears, but despite the two crying ponies, Alex only looked at them once and again he paid no attention to their tears, which were either of no value to him or were already collected.
- I do not understand, you told me so much that a man is a hero and here is such a meatball. Discord said.
- He had no other choice what he could do. Twilight said as she stung the crater in despair over the great loss.
- you want to explain it, if there really was no other choice, the man could have done something else. Rainbow Dash said, speaking angrily between a trembling distraught voice.
- it was an example. They were all broken by the voice of the great dragon watching the man.
- what do you mean dad. Ember asked.
- it was supposed to be an example for his enemy, he is different, different than we all think, but the most important thing is the one who conducts all this. Look. Torch said as the earth in the center of the crater began to crack and the fractured body of the Hyrda-Pony was completely engulfed in a ten-meter-high scarlet monolith.
Everything was shaken by the scream of the elemental lord as his own face appeared above the crater as his eyes tightened, all eyes were shown his left hand rising high to show the elemental lord's first great success.
Despite the great success, Akeron looked at the man, not knowing for a moment what to say, he never expected that his creation would fall in front of the man and Alex himself turned out to be so surprising.
- how is it possible, after all you are a hero!. Akeron said, directing all his anger at the man.
- you know me little, worm, I am not like heroes, limited by my own weaknesses, if I have to sacrifice someone I will do it for the general good, you will never find a weak point in me and you will never blackmail me, remember if I have to kill someone because of you, I will do it because of you that's just like i did today!. Alex said, spreading his hands to show the great crater and the enormity of the devastation.
Akeron was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say until he looked at his free left hand and raised it in front of the man.
- you see it, your victory is Pyrrhic here anyway, you defeated my servant but his victory or defeat freed the first of the three chains anyway, for the first time in millennia I raise my left hand, you do not turn your back on me!. Akeron said in pure anger as Alex turned and began silently walking away.
- You sheep can hear me! Don't ignore me. Akeron shouted.
- I feel sorry for you, you believe in such illusions, first you send your spawn a creature of nothingness, Hydra-Pony now, after his defeat, you only threaten, you know really nothing new from you, I won't hear and I don't want to talk to you. Alex said as he launched the missile over the flames towards the scarlet pillar and the fierce face of the elemental lord.
The bullet hit the scarlet monolith, destroying it completely and the projection of the elemental lord, Alex paying no attention to anyone and without a word jumped into another portal to disappear into the unknown, and his words became a new threat to many, good and bad, because the question was when Akeron would force on a person an attack on one of them.
- what we do. Spike asked nervously.
- I certainly owe him a lot, he saved me and my daughter and no matter what you think about him now, I owe him everything. Torch said how every dragon had its own code and wanted to do anything to repay the rescue.
- I don't know, I don't know what we should do. Twilight Sparkle said as she watched the crater go.
- Twilight may be time to prepare for a human attack. Rarity suggested.
- You heard exactly what the man said, I mean Alex, it's only a matter of time until he attacks us, he will sacrifice us for the common good. Applejack said.
- I see it differently Alex said, he will never hit anyone himself, unless Akeron leads to it, if he provokes him, I don't know what will happen, but I know one thing Alex will never attack us by himself, I believe it. Discord said.
- that is, our world has nothing to be afraid of. Rarity asked, looking at the enormity of the devastation and the site of the tragedy.
- no, but it depends only on our common enemy. Discord added, folding his hands behind his back in a sage pose.
- I mean, what do you mean. Pinkie Pie asked nervously.
- Discord is right, Alex said that he would do anything for the public good and attack only when Akeron takes one of us under his feet, if we are to survive, we must watch ourselves more than before, mourn our friends and try not to let Alex be forced to raise his hand on any of us. Twilight Sparkle said, sounding the most logical of all.
Twilight looked once more at the enormity of the devastation, at the great crater, and the loss of her friends, including her mentor, mentally pleading with anyone that what had happened at Dragon's Lair would never happen anywhere else.
L
we are already at the halfway point, today I finished chapter 20 out of 40, this is how the second series of four ended, the heroic series ended with a great tragedy, the first one that happened, but there will be more, the next series will answer this question, soon.
