Kleft listened to the intercom. 'This is my chance.' he thought. 'After the ceremony, I'll confront him. I wonder what this ceremony is about in the first place?' Kleft continued to the flight deck to attend whatever ceremony was about to occur.
As the survivors finally got on deck they all noticed that all of the military units are in dress uniform. The ones standing at the entrance that the survivors are coming through are at constant attention. The other military units are all standing at attention as well, but in rank and file lines the flags of the ship are all at half mast for some reason. "Kleft there you are if you and your new chancellor will come with me please," says Rashall leading the way.
The new Chancellor shuddered at the adress. She was still not used to being adressed so fornally. Together, they walked up to Rashall. "We never did properly introduce. You learned my name from the mind intrusion. This is Chancellor Aeri." The Chancellor blushed and looked at the floor. She would have to soon step up and realize what she now represented in her position. "What is your name?" Kleft asked. (Sorry if that post was slow, my dad just woke up and hes really cranky.)
"My names Rashall Firemane, I am the leader of these troops that you see here and many many more," says Rashall, "Would you like to get on with the ceremonies, or do you have more questions?" Asks Rashall waiting for an answer.
"I certainly have questions for you, but..." he looked over at the Chancellor. "Our new leader's rule should be known among the Lunar Ponies." Hearing this, the Chancellor looked up and made a squeaking noise. Kleft looked back to Rashall. "Let's begin these...ceremonies."
Snow woke up from her sleep, it had been troubled with sights of burning ponies and other horendous events, she broke camp and set back off down the road., seeing in the far distance, the tall hills on which the Portal stood
(C'mon guys, lets ressurect this) Kleft's ears started to twitch, which really annoyed him. He had no spells that could calm nervousness, so he walked up to Rashall. "There...wouldn't happen to be a library or anything on board? Perhaps a silent room?" He asked. "I need to catch up on my meditational practices. When i broke the 3rd tier of magic, that wasn't by accident. I am capable of doing it, but I have to meditate. Would you know of anywhere?"
"In a minute, sergeant if you would," says Rashall to a nearby wolf who silently salutes him. In front of the sergeant stands a line of soldiers all wearing dress fatigues, on the sergeants signle the line holds aloft their weapons. The sergeant then fixes Kleft eye for eye and then gives the order to fire, the line of wolves fire three seperate vollies before returning to attention. Another wolf turns his attention towards Kleft holding in his hands a folded flag of unknown origins. "Do you accept this flag as a symbol of the brave souls that stayed behind to ensure you escape from certain death?" Asks Rashall.
The Chancellor stepped forward. She seemed a lot more calm and sophisticated now. 'Perhaps she finally realized that she can't show weakness in front of anypony.' Kleft thought. She approached Rashall. "On behalf of the Lunar Ponies, those who survived and sacrificed themselves, and my master Chancellor Mathiss, I accept this gift." She reached out a hoof and took the flag from Rashall. The entire crowd before them went into an uproar. Looking in, though, Kleft only saw that about half of the ponies were actually cheering. The others were either crying or completely silent. The Chancellor turned to the crowd. "Today, my ponies," She said. "we shall remember as the day we survived the onslaught of the Infinity Gate. Today will be marked for years to come!" More cheering. Kleft was confused. Infinity Gate? Nopony had told him of any such thing, only that the monsters were pouring in from another dimension. Perhaps she knew something he didn't. After all, she WAS Chancellor Mathiss's personal apprentice, he must have told her EVERYTHING not released to the public. Kleft turned back to Rashall. "How heartwarming," he said "Can we please go to the library now?"
Snow had gone almost 200 miles from her old home. She had killed over 50 bandits on this 10 mile streach alone. She collasped in her tree tent, well camoflagued from any preying eyes from any direction, and watched the large Shadowed Ships as she called them pass far overhead. I wonder how Freemanelion City is doing, she thought. (And Rashall, you better not have destroyed it.)
Kleft continued to the nearest secluded room on the ship. It was fairly empty, with a few objects scattered this way and that. He used his magic to pick up the objects and floated them around the room a bit. When he was confident he was warmed up, he entered the second tier of magic. A second aura, purple unlike the original blue, appeared around his horn and every object flew up. He floated to the center of the room and slowed his breathing. The objects all began orbiting him. Kleft entered a trance and began his meditation.
(Ignore my last post as dark plague, this one is vital to the story. So Read Carefully) The 700+ year old Alicorn Demi-God known as Dark Plague had arived at the Destoryed Remains of Lunar Island. Buildings were left in rubble and a large crater in the center of the town was left. Plague was going to destory this town but somebody had done it for him. "Strange..." Plague said to himself, their was no evidence of survivors. Plague landed onto the town for a closer look. "Who ever did this has something against me, Only a powerful Alicorn or something greater could produce something like this. "Something Greater" Plague thought. He used a flashback spell to see what had happened, he saw that a Giant Ship destroyed the town. Not to mention names such as Rashall, Kleft and Snow was mentioned frequently. Plague did see something big flying through the Sky before. “That ship is the one who did this.” Plague had a evil smile on his face, this ship was going down. Plague flew into the air at breathtaking speeds and chased the Raganok. “This Rashall,Kleft and Snow ponys are going to die.” Plague knew about Rashall but these Kleft and Snow were new to him.
Kleft's daily meditation was rudely interrupted with a vision of a completely-black eyeball. "This Rash... Kle... and Snow ..nies are g...g to die." A sudden surge of energy shot through is body and he flew to the ground. Getting up, he dusted himself off and tried to think of what he just saw. What on earth was that? It seemed dark...and extremely powerful! The thought of something that powerful and angry scared him. Another spark ripped through his head. “That shi...the one who...d this. Th...ship....going down." Kleft opened his mouth in a silent scream and collapsed. The pain was too much for him to handle. He got up as quickly as he could and dashed out of the room. He had to tell Rashall of what had happened!
(Battle scene and Plague Bio) Plague was in mid-flight. He was angry that something had destroyed lunar island for him, he really wanted to destroy it himself. He landed on the ground for a quick break, he was on the other side of Equestria and it would take him another 3 days until he intercepted the large ship. He also was near the Portal that had ruined Equestria over 200 years ago. Nocturnal quietly peeked around the corner to see Plague. He was a small Alicorn but had extremely powerful magic. Nocturnal knew all about Plague, she grew up with him. Plague was raised in Canterlot when his birth parents abandoned him on the castle doors. Celestria found him and had the best magic teachers in Equestria teach him. What Celestria didn’t know about Plague is that he processed a Magic Ability greater than the Sun Princess herself. He single-handily destroyed the Zebra army that was invading Equestria over 500 years ago. But when he found out Celestria wanted him dead, he challenged her inside the Canterlot Castle. He was defeated and imprisoned in stone. He then broke free 200 years later but suffered the same fate when he was imprisoned again. How he escaped when the portal opened is unknown. “Nocturnal, I know your there. Come on out.” Plague said to Nocturnal. “You don’t want to make it any worse then what it already is.” Nocturnal walked out in anger. “Brother, don’t do this, Ponies are dying because of you.” Tears were running down her eyes, Plague was once known as Black wind-caller, but that name means nothing to him now. Plague turned around. “Why should I care, you know that Celestria tried to murder my entire species. And she deserved to pay. I wanted to Restore Equestria to its Pre-War days, back when the land was peaceful. The only way I could do that is to become king.” Nocturnal was now crying even more. “No pony will ever bow before you.” Plague was not impressed. “Then I’m afraid I have no choice” Nocturnal was shocked that her own brother wanted to kill her, but she must get some sense into him. “Feel…….THIS!!!!!” Plague rushed up to Nocturnal and Bucked her 400 meters down the dirt road. Nocturnal felt her bones instantly break. Plague then carried Nocturnal high into the air, dropped her and flew into Nocturnal like a cannon, creating a large magic explosion. Nocturnal went unconscious. The last thing she saw was plague flying way.
Snow woke to the sound of a massive explosion, she looked out from her tent to see a pony flying away from another that was speedily following to the ground. Snow's soldier instincts instantly kicked in as she rushed to about were she prodicted the falling pony would land. She timed her spell just right to catch the fallen pony and set it gently to the ground. Snow walked up to get a better look and was instantly taken aback by its being an alicorn. She looked around saw no pony saw her spell and dragged the alicoirn back to her camp for healing, and anwsers.
Nocturnal woke up in a daze. She found that she was in metal room with no windows, she was also surrounded by other injured ponys. She was inside the medical unit of the Raganok. Her injurys were not big, just a scratch on her hoof and a injured wing. “Ugh….” She said. “Where am I”
(Rashall, I need you to post something. I kinda have to talk to you because your ship's about to get totally marauded...)
Snow looked at the alicorn just across from her in the tent. He or she had just woken up, and she was always told not to mess with a pony that had just woken up. She sipped her coffee, and then when the alicorn seemed sufficently calmed, she spoke, "Hello, we will begin with introductions, I am Snow Mark, and I just saved your life."
