Chapter 2: Enter the Knights Part 2.
Darkness, was all Raves could see as he tried to look around or even move his body as he had no since of up or down. Just as he was ready to except the after life, a bright light appeared and he suddenly appeared on his back. He laid there for a moment until he began to hear the sound of hooves. He slowly sat up and saw a glorious white horse walking towards him. As he stared at the glorious creature, he also notice that she was wearing a crown, neck wear, and gold looking sandals. And then it stopped just a few feet in front of him and spoke.
"Hello, young one. I am known as Princess Celestia." she said in a soft, gentle voice as she tried to calm the young man, but it failed. As Raves instantly stood up and looked in shock at the horse.
"D-d-did you just speak to me?" he asked as he was not sure of what to think here.
"Yes, I under stand this is not normal in your world. But I'm from another one entirely" she explained as she stood there with a cam, sweet smile as she watched him relax himself. Raves took in a deep breath and then replied to her.
"Really, cool. SO, were am I?" he asked as he looked around seeing nothing in the infinite darkness.
"We are in your head. I'm speaking to you through a magic connection, which you seam to have." She said with a smile and waited for Raves response, which was of pure shock.
"Umm, so. I'm magical?" he said in a confused tone as he was not sure if what he was seeing was right.
"Yes, it seams. But how I'm not sure." she said with a calm tone. After a few more moments of deep thought, Raves looked at her and asked straight forward.
"What do you need from me?" his question was straight forward and what she had expected.
"For you to save the world." Celestia said as she went into explanation of what Twilight had told her of what had happen in this world. After explain all that, Raves stared at he for a few moments until it all sank in and then he spoke.
"So, me and five others need to get this world in balance before both world collide?" he asked as he looked at her confused. Celestia nodded her head and then focused her magic until a sword shaped symbol medallion. She then levitated it towards him and then place it around his neck. After doing this, she spoke again, "This medallion will help you use that magic.". Raves stared at her for a few moments until she seamed to have vanished and he suddenly began to hear a different voice.
"Young Man." the voice kept calling out to him as the darkness took over.
"You Young man, wake up." Raves heard the voice call in as he slowly opened his eyes and fond that he was laying on the ground next to the statue, and the voice belong to that then none other then, Vice-Principal Luna.
"Ahhh," Raves said as he groined and held his head as he sat up. This action tuned Luna's stern look to that of concern. As she knelt down next to him and then spoke.
"Are you alright? Did you hit your head on something?" she asked as she tended to him. Raves looked at her for a moment and then spoke up.
"I'm, not sure." he said as he was not sure of how to react to this.
"Alright, lets get you to the nurses office to check you out." she said as she help Raves to his feet and then the two slowly walked towards the school, neither noticing another figure watching them and it had a small smile on it's face.
"Well, you seam fine and there are no visual signs of a concussion. Are you sure your alright?" Nurse Tenderheart asked as she tended to Raves. She was wearing a nurse outfit with a hat with the red cross on it.
"Yeah, I feel fine." Raves said as he grabbed his jacket and put it back on. The nurse sighed as she knew he was not going to lesson to her. So she wrote on a piece of paper and then turned to him.
"Alright, I'm sending you back to class, but your teaches will be told to keep an I on you. Rose." she called as she turned towards the back door and when the door opened, he saw a lovely young lady walk into the room. She stood 5'8, had a light olive brown skin tone with some freckles shoulder length silver/whitish hair, she had a right bight, maroon red eye while the left was an icy blue one, and she was wearing a turquoise and white dress and salmon-colored boots along with a sun hat on her head.
"Yes." the young girl asked as she stepped into the room and stares at the two others in the room with her.
"Yes, could you lead mister Raves to his next period and keep an eye on him, he might have a concussion." Tenderheart said as she finished writing her paper. She then handed it to the young lady, who took it and she lead him out the door. After a few minutes of walking, Raves looked at the girl named Rose and decided to have a little conversation.
"So, Rose. How are you doing today?" Raves asked as he walked behind her, as she was leading down the hall. She turned her head and gave him a glare as she spoke.
"I was just fine today, until you pulled this stunt." she said coldly as she turned back and Raves was shocked by her statement.
"What stunt?" he asked as he was not sure what she had said.
"You trying to get out of school. You won't as clever as you thought." she said as she continued to lead him, but Raves stopped in his tracks.
"I wasn't playing. I think I got hit by something." Raves defend himself, but Rose was not uying it.
"Nice try, but I still think you were trying to skip school and got caught." she said as didn't bother turning around and continued forward. Raves was shock and decided to follow her to his next class.
After a few more minutes, Rose and Raves had made it to his next class, an Earth Science Class. She opened the door and they both got stares from the whole class. Rose walked up to the teacher and handed him the paper. She then turned back and headed out, not even taking a second look at Raves. The teacher looked at the paper and then he looked at Raves.
"Well, sorry to say, but I only have one spot left and it's in the back." he said as he pointed to the back table in the far left. As Raves walked towards the table, he notice two other bodies sitting at it. They were both about the same height, one had bright red hair that parted to the left with pink eyes while the other had it in reverse with the hair parting to the right. They both had the same pigment, bubblegum pink. The one with the red hair wear a red top that showed her belly button, skinny jeans, and sneakers white the other was wear a pink dress with a red belt and boots. As he sat down, the one with red hair yelled at him.
"Hey, How's it going. I'm Cherry and this sour puss is my twin sister, Sherry." she said as he sister waved at Raves. As he sat down, Raves was reminded on how Pinkie Pie had asked and just smiled as Cherry asked a few questions, not as many as Pinkie, but a few less and at a slower speed.
"Cherry, I asked not to call me a sour puss." Sherry said as she looked at her sister with annoyed look on her face, but she got a shock when Cherry wrapped her arms around her and pulled her in a tight hug.
"Oh, Sherry. You know that I love you as your sour self." she said in a very cheery tone, which got blush from Sherry.
"Th-thanks Cherry." she said as she felt her grip tighten and Raves smiled at the sidling love. As class went on, Raves couldn't help but play with his necklace around his neck as he was half'-listening to the teacher and then almost missed the bell that told them to go to the last class of the day. Raves got up form his seat, grabbed his bag, and then waved bye to Cherry and Sherry as he turned, and headed down the hall. As he turned the corner, he noticed a young man a few years younger then him trying to move a large tv to another room on top a medium slope. He was about 6'2, looked about 160 pounds, he had blond, spiky hair, a tan body, and wear a red muscle shirt, blue jeans, and blue sneakers. He tried with all his might, but he couldn't seam to get enough momentum. So, Raves decided to lend a hand and headed over to him.
"Hey, could you use a hand?" he asked as he walked up to the young man, who turned to him and smiled as he stepped aside and let him grab hold of the cart that housed the t.v. and together they pushed and soon were on top of the slope
"Thanks for that, but aren't you going to be late for class?" the boy asked as they stood there for a moment and this got a shocked look from Raves.
"What, Ah Crap. I can't get to the gym in time for class." Raves said as he hung his head.
"Wait, if you head down this hall, then turn left and headed straight. You should get to the gym in no time." he said, which made Raves cheer up.
"Really, thanks ummm." Raves tried to thank him, but he didn't know his name.
"Zane, Zane Cooper. But I like to be called Johnny." he said as he finished pushing the t.v. and Raves took off down the hall and followed his instructions closely, and in less then a few minutes, he was at the large gym with a minute to spare.
After the gym teachers took thirty minutes to explain how their class was going to go, they let out some soccer and basket balls for the kids to enjoy themselves for the rest of the school day. Some kids played with their friends, while other hung out on the sidelines and then there was Raves. He stood away from every one and looked towards a black wall thinking over what had happened to him today.
'So, I'm magical and must protect both these worlds from evil.' his thoughts were lost as he heard a voice call out to him.
"Hey, heads up!" Raves turned to look at the voice and he was hit square in the forehead, sending him crashing him to the ground. Raves was a little dizzy as he saw stars for a few moments until he noticed a figure staring at him and then he saw him clearly when his vision cleared up. It was a boy about his height and weight. He had blue eyes, a light skin tone, bright red hair, and he wear a white over shirt with a red muscle shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and sneakers that are red, white, and blue laces.
"Ahh, my head." Raves sat as he sat up and held his head.
"Sorry buddy, didn't see you though." the kid said as he helped him up. As Raves stood for a second, his knees suddenly buckled and he almost fell face first on to the floor, but the kid caught him. He then helped Raves over to the teacher, who had him go to the nurses office. As they walked to the office, the kid looked at Raves and then added, "By the way, my names Tobias Morrison but I like to go by Toby, yours?"
"Raves." Raves answered him and then suddenly they were hit by a powerful earthquake, knocking both of them down. As they tried to get up, Raves eyes glowed white and he was gone again.
Darkness, was what Raves saw again as he noticed he was back in his mind and sure enough he noticed Princess Celestia next to him, but her smile was gone and replaced in a worried frown.
"Raves, the evil that threats both our world is acting and has summoned a giant beast by the school. You need to stop it before it destroyed out worlds." she said in a worried tone as she had a worried mind.
"How, I'm just a normal guy and I'm not magical." he said as Raves doubted himself.
"Yes, you can. I believe you can and all you have to do is believe in yourself." she said as she made a new, powerful white light and then everything was gone from his vision.
"Raves, you okay buddy?" Toby asked as Raves gained hit senses. He then stood up and ran straight to the doors. "Raves, wait." Toby called as he tried to go after him, but another earthquake forced him to the ground. Raves kept on running until he was at the doors and then opened them, and then he instantly looked up. There in front of him was a giant lion-like monster roaring at him, and he felt himself feel doubt fill his body.
"How can I do this?" Raves said as he hugged the wall and tried to get back to the door, and then he heard screams. Both he and then monster turned to see a young female scared near another door. She was terrified at the sight and she felt nothing but fear as the beast turned to her and raised it's paw ready to attack her. As he watched this, Raves stood up and glared at him. "No, I won't let any one get hurt from my fear." he then looked at his necklace, grabbed it, and thn he added, "Just Believe in myself and..." He was suddenly engulfed in white light.
The light surrounded him and then a white armor formed around his arms and then his legs. His chest had a plate of red armor on the front and then two yellow shoulder pad like armor formed. And then a helmet formed over his head, giving him red eyes and then a large red crest formed on his head and then a sword appeared behind him in a sheath on his back. He then flexed for a second as he yelled.
"The Knight of Magic." He yelled as the light vanished.
The girl screamed as she coward against the wall as the monsters paw came down, but when she didn't feel it crushing her. She opened her eyes and saw an armor clad knight standing in front of her keeping the claw away from her. Raves turned in his armor and spoke in a much deeper voice then he normally had.
"Get to safety." he said at the stunned girl until she nods and runs to the door he was just at. As he tried to keep the beast under control, it swung his other paw, sending him flying onto the roof of the school. Raves stood up form his launch and notice that it did not hurt him in any way, and he felt great at the moment when he suddenly heard Celestia's voice in his head.
"Raves, are you there?" she asked as he looked around and then looked straight forward.
"Celestia, is that you?" he asked as he was not sure what to think, and then he realized the voice was coming from inside his mask.
"Yes, the armor allows me to talk to you through magic." she explained and he nodded.
"Alright, makes since." Raves said as he thought of what had happen today and now this seams normal.
"Now, your armor will protect you from most attacks and make you fast and stronger then the average human." she explained what the armor does for him and then it's when Raves notices the sword behind him.
"And the sword?" Raves asked as he wondered what she would say about it.
"It's your, Sword of Magic. Your weapon that can take down any foe against you." she said and then he heard a roar again and knew the beast was trying to get to him. Raves turned to wear the beast is and then he drew his sword, which looked like a katana with a dual serrated edge of the blade. He then charged towards the beast area and leaped off and fell straight towards the beast.
"Where we go, Sword of Magic." he yelled as he swung his sword towards the paw it was swinging towards him. As his sword made contact with the beast's paw, it was sliced in half and as he landed, that part vanished. Raves then turned back to face the beast, which was having trouble standing with one leg. So, Raves leaped up in the air and headed straight towards the beasts head. As he got close, Raves readied his sword and swung. As he landed a second time,
The beasts head landed behind him and it vanished in the same manor as it's paw. Raves then stood up and watched all the damage from the beasts attack vanished as well. As he looked, he notice a few students and teacher looking around to see what had happen. Raves felt he should leave asap, so he knelt down and then leaped in the air again. He flew for a few minutes until he landed on top of the roof again. After he landed, he looked at his armor for a few moments and then he placed his hand on his chin as began to think of how to remove the armor. And as he did, it suddenly vanished in white light and he was back to normal with his necklace around his neck again. As he began to figure out how to get down from the roof, a voice from behind him was heard.
"Well, that was interesting." Raves turned to see who was the one that said that. He saw a young girl about his age with aqua green eyes, red and yellow hair that look like flames, a yellowish skin tone, and she was wearing a black leather jacket over a purple t-shirt with to halves of two different suns put together, a mostly orange skirt with light purple and yellow stripes over her right hip and a pair of black and purple boots raves stared at the girl with hand on her hip and then spoke one word.
"Crap"
TBC.
