ECLIPSE

In a split second, me and Luna had completely transported to the Enochian Plane, the floor covered in a foot of water. My hooves were now soaking wet from all this. The sky was covered in clouds from white to grey to black. Two pillars were on the water bed, towering past the clouds. However, one struck out to me. A tower of black onyx pierced the sky as a bright white light formed at the entrance.

"That's the Dark Spire, right?" I asked Luna as she nodded her head, looking about as in wonder as I probably was.

"I believe so, Clipse. We might as well check it out." The Alicorn stated, draping her wing around my back as we made it into The Dark Spire. We closed our eyes at the blinding light but we opened our eyes.

When we opened our eyes, we had noticed a long hallway, leading to a throne of glistening gold. I had noticed a figure in the distance. It wasn't a pony, nor did he look like your average demon. It was a hippogriff. He had eyes of bright amber and fur as brown as wood. He wore some kind of steel armor, on his claws and back paws.

He stood up and walked towards us, giving us a confused look.

"So... What brings you two in my home? I thought mortals were not allowed here..." The griffin had stated as he looked down at me. I knew those eyes and that voice. Was he...?

"In our world, demons have been entering from our dimension." Luna spoke up, on equal height as this griffin. "They said they had been entering from the Dark Spire. Do you know these demons?" She had pulled out some pictures and revealed the demons who attacked Manehattan.

For some odd reason, the griffin face clawed. "Oh, Biggs and Wedge... Blasted grunts. They shall be punished accordingly..."

I glared daggers at this griffin. "Who are you?"

"Who am I? Oh, how rude of me... I am Fear, but you can call me Lord Fear."

The name seemed very suspicious. How stereotypical can a villain's name be? However, I nodded my head, my fur standing straight up.

"Yes, Lord Fear..."

He seemed to examine me, like he was impressed by something.

"I have never seen an Earth Pony of this strength before... What's your name?"

Luna perked up as she stepped in front of me. "Now what does my friend here have to do with anything?" In response, Fear let out a chuckle as he turned his attention to Luna.

"Why wouldn't she? I'm impressed. If you can, can your friend meet me in my arena? It'll be quick, I promise..."

Luna was about to speak up, but I put my hoof on her chest, smiling. "I'll be alright, Luna. Besides, I really wanna see what this guy can do." In an amused grin, he chuckled. "Eager, are you? I'll get ready, I suggest you do the same..." With that, he seemingly disappeared.

Luna gave me a worried look as I looked up at her. "Are you sure you are going to be okay?" She asked, scared for me. I nodded. "I think I will be..." And with that, she pulled me into a tight embrace. "Seriously, don't get hurt. I don't know what I'll do if you are..."

I chuckled as I wrapped my hooves around her. "I will, don't worry!" I chuckled as she looked down at me. "Please be..."

After 10 minutes, I proceeded to take off my cobalt hoodie as I managed to step into the ring.

Thousands of demons cheered in excitement, some calling out for blood. Then I noticed my opponent... It was Fear, but he had no weapon. All he had on him was clawed gauntlets. I was certainly scared, but I remembered that Luna was probrably watching me. I didn't want to show her my fear. "Heh, this is going to be a fun match!" Fear chuckled as the bells rang in my ears, signaling the beginning of the match.
