Darkwalker: (Flickering into the bar from the shadows in the corner, and speaks with a gravelly voice) Greetings. Mind if I sit around for a while, the Council said I should be ready in case of something going wrong?
"Well, it is a public bar," Asmo replied blandly. "Go nuts with your sitting." "He..." Raven blinked in surprise. "He wanted to see me? How'd you tell?" Dusty smiled. "Paternal instinct." Moondust cooed happily, nuzzling against his big sister's chest tuft.
D: (nods once and is silent) Edmond: I'm going to assume that everything is well, and is that the baby? (Turned and seen Moondust)
Midnight had a change of heart. "Sorry Sil, but I don't want to be a warrior anymore. I want to be a filly" she remarked. She then teleported back to the safety of the bar and her juice box. She then began stacking blocks ontop of each other, rather happily she placed the C block first, then the A block, and then the final block T. CAT. What a wonderful puzzle. She then got bored and knocked the blocks to one side creating a small noise. She then used her Mary Sue ability's and turned herself back into her royal grown up form. Then she reversed time and returned back to a previous state of existence where Discord ruled supreme. She then ruled Equestria with Discord for several eons before becoming bored again, she could only whip Silver for several centuries and be entertained by it. She then flipped out her Mary Sue ability's and returned into the time zone before she first became a Mary Sue. She then began lining the blocks up differently. That was much more fun then being a tyrant ruler. ABC.
E: Unless I'm mistaken, I think I have something for you, although I doubt that I would be mistaken. (Pulls out the exact symbol that he had a few weeks earlier and a card with writing on it. Quickly reading the card and then speaking.) This, is made of three pieces, it will enhance the baby's magic, Dusty's skills, and your alchemy Maya. Each piece separates from the whole, and each will also protect you. Each piece is extremely strong, but it is strongest together, like all three of you. So yeah. (Goes to pass it to Maya) Darkwalker: (Calmly sitting in the corner and watching the events in the bar.) Architect: (wanting to do something other than sit around decided to bring his ship up to an altitude of near the edge of outer space and drawing a Door to get back to his ship, before going to the docking platform on his ship, and grabbing a single parachute, jumps off his ship to skydive)
Maya took the piece and looked it over. "Wow. This is... that sounds incredible. I don't know what to say." Moondust made happy baby noises in response to the attention. Raven wasn't completely sure if the newborn foal was safe to be handled by Midnight, so she kept a close eye on the two.
Midnight gave the foal a building block and nudged it closer to him, she began teaching him the Alphabet. That was very fun, though he kept liking to nudge the block.
Maya took her piece and gave Dusty his. She then turned to Raven, requesting, "Make sure she's nice to Dusty Jr, alright?" Moondust reached his little hooves out, stretching them towards his big sis.
Darkwalker: (Throwing a pair of earplugs to all who are hearing sensitive) *About ten minutes after, a sharp crack resounds as the barriers separating this World from the Council, shatter. The rest of the Council walks through the rift and closes it behind them before entering the Bar and taking seats, all of them rippling with True Raw Energy.*
"Well, this looks promising..." Taking the earplugs and sitting down with Moondust, Raven sacrificed her plugs for the foal. When the crack ripped through the air, she let out a loud, pained squeak. "Mother... bucker." Unlike the loud heavy metal she played, this specific sound was unpleasant to an extreme degree for her. At least the little one's hearing wouldn't be damaged. Maya and Dusty jumped at the sound. Asmo rubbed his temples. "Looooud and startling. Oh! Hi, new guys!"
Council: (All speaking as one minus Architect, different voice patterns melding melodiously into a surprisingly pleasant voice) Greetings Asmodeus.
"Aaaand the creepy dudes know me. Great" Asmo sighed. "Whatever I did, I probably didn't mean to." "Are you alright?" Dusty asked Raven. Raven nodded, pinching between her eyes with her hooves. "Yeah... just startled me."
Silver shrugged and went on about his mission. Naturally, it was successful. **************************************************** Nightshade beat her wings to disperse the smoke, searching for Navaja, who she assumed would be attempting a sneak attack.. **************************************************************** Cannonball grinned. "Kid, you ain't seen nothing yet." Rising into the air, he brought his right front hoof down in a full force punch, aiming for Az. At the impact, the ring simply stopped existing, reduced to shrapnel at the impact. The ice that had been under the ring cracked around a large impact crater. Cannonball wasn't sure if the blow had struck, but he knew from experience that if it had, the fight was over. ******************************************************* Marq looked over his shoulder at the new arrival, shrugged, and turned back around to watch the fight.
Arch: (plummeting through the sky) Council: Of course we know who you are, we've reviewed this World, and its Timelines. We're here for another reason. *As they speak, images from across the Timelines appear and vanish shortly after appearance. Included is a strange one, a few odd beings, and a few recognizable ones, including Discord, were sitting around game tables looking at the Bar and a map, but before anypony can get a good look it too, fades.*
When the smoke was done away with, Navaja was leaping at Nightshade from the opposite post, blades extended. Before he could reach her, however, the ring decided to explode, launching him far back into the snow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the dust settled, it was clear that Azrael had teleported to the other side of the crater. "Impressive strike. If inaccurate." Upon hearing a squawk from his bird above, he launched a strange spell into three different spots on the ground.
C: To deal with a certain little issue, if need arises. And based on what we are seeing, it may very well have been risen. *Lightning flickers inside the bar*
"Of what do you speak, if I may ask?" "Watch the lightning," Asmo demanded, "I'd rather not look like a well-done steak before I go home!"
