He quickly swung his hoof in an instinctive effort to slap her across the face. If she didn't duck, it would hit like a freight train from Tartarus.
Edmond: (speaking up) I don't think a fight would be wise. I just got the results of the scan. The timelines are close to convergence. ((@Queen Cerali Etheran may be needed, as an FYI)) *A small storm started brewing above the Cave of Harmony*
Midnight Teleported a shadow crystal ontop of her head. She waited for him to slap her, which did feel like a freight train kind of slap. She flew several meters and the shadow crystal fell onto the floor, the floor then lost its color along with the entire room,. "Ouch, thats some slap" she giggled. She watched as the Shadow crystal grew, absorbing more colors as time went by. "nice work, you've just removed color from the world" she congratulated him standing up and shaking his hoof. "Of course I could never use a shadow crystal to do such things, because that would be seen as a act of war, but since one of Celestia's prized subjects has done so. This is your problem not mine" she giggled. "oh and i wouldn't break it, only shadow ponies can break it, otherwise they just duplicate" she advised, "Bye" she giggled, she then disappeared in a wisp of smoke, hiding out in Raven's shadow. What fun this would be
*Once more the sword glowed golden and Arch's voice rang out "Colorah Preserva", and a wave of energy flew from the sword, smashing into the crystal, and restoring color as it passed the color drained objects. The crystal itself was warped between Universes to be destroyed by the Void itself. The Void being capable of destroying mostly anything.*
Midnight teleports the crystal back from the void, she now has a void crystal. She then uses the power from the Void Crystal to send to the sword, since she was curious on who was in it. "Who are you mr sword?" she asks teleporting over to the sword, she gives it a lick for good measure.
*The sword glows and puts the crystal into Nowhere, acessable only by the power contained by the Council.* Architect's Voice: I am the Lord Architect. I am somehow a sword?, huh. Anyways, I am far more ancient then you. Be glad I have no body, so to speak.
"Sorry but i can't talk to a sword. Its just humiliating" she remarked, she turned into her shadow form and went into the sword, in search of the Architect. "I'm doubtful, i'm very very old myself, being the last line of Shadow ponies, myself. Which dates back before Celestia and Discord" she remarked inside the sword. "So where is your body? did you misplace it?"
"Not the sword you need to worry about!" Azrael cast a nasty, bright bolt of lightning at Midnight from behind.
(you just hit the sword with lightning, because im in the sword, unless your in the sword as well 0.o) Midnight let out a yelp. "Hey, how can you be in the sword as well?"
Architect: Get out! (A bright flare of light forces the Shadow out.) I predate this Universe. You'd think I'd know a few tricks. My body was killed, but I survived, somehow.
(you know Midnight's a shadow pony right?) *lays on the floor twitching, without any shadows covering her body, instead i'm glowing with light* "owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwyyyyyyyyy" she whined, she just wanted to investigate the sword. Her eyes still hurt from the bright blast and the room was spinning. *gets up and glanced at her glowing body* "well thats new" she snorted. "The Lights that stop, turn me onnnn" she begins to dance on a table glowing like a disco ball.
Edmond: (chuckling) Griev: (sitting down watching this unfold) Architect: I'll be happy to answer some questions if you wish.
"So how did your body get destroyed but this sword thing didn't?" *taps the sword with her hoof* (Sheesh no ones going to offer her any clothes XD)
Arch: This sword was being wielded by Edmond. What was left of me after I was killed, survived in a burst of my power, and was recently attached to this sword. He built the sword. Edmond: Yep. Can I finish what I was doing? Arch: Later.
Arch: You ever hear about or meet a pony named Silver Crescent, leave the area if you suspect that he has any weapons. Stabbed me with a magic draining sword, one of quite a few. Think of a quilt, held together with stitches, remove them, the quilt falls apart, same situation with my body, constructed and held together by magic, remove the magic, the body falls apart.
"well that's awfully nasty of him, If i see him, i shall remove him for you" she said blinking. "Or i could get you in his body and he can live in this magical sword?" she said blinking, she shook her head, why was she being soo nice all of a sudden. She should team up with Silver Crescent and wipe out the world. "where is this Silver Crescent?" she asked
Arch: I have no idea. He won't stand for anything that is against the Prinzessinnen, or Princesses to non-germane?, speakers. Supposedly, he thought I would take over the world, or something, killed me off, as far as he thinks. Xion: Yeah, I have made considerable progress. Edmond: (Snorts with laughter when Arch finished speaking.) Arch: So yeah, he hears about your dislike of the Princesses and you'll probably be at the top of his "To Eliminate" list.
"Oh he wouldn't eliminate me, he would just kill himself, though i'm technically a princess myself, so i can just order him around" she remarked with a smirk. (Can i meet this Silver?)
Has he sworn loyalty to you? And I gave him a pretty grim warning, that if I died, his precious Equestria could be destroyed, he refused to listen. I stopped the other beings and civilizations out there from annihilating Equestria. His sword drains all magics, even mine. Though I did manage to get a pretty good feel for how it works.
