( Blade we really need you to start up again, all you missed was the beginning of your conversation with silent which is above and I can't start until that happens because me and lost are waiting and watching)
BladeRunner turned to the pony that spoke to him, he didn't answer, rather, gave him the look that this individual would not like. It was a smirk, but yet, the Alicorn seemed to be a little serious at the moment, making it kinda look like an evil face. BladeRunner sighed, chuckling a bit, "Quick question, why do you do all of this? What is there to gain?"
"Well. The complete destruction of everything good is one reason and what I gain from this is well simple." Silent said, leaning into the dragon "Do you have any other questions?"
BladeRunner squinted a bit, "Why are you intrigued about me?" This was one question he had since this guy had begun to talk to him, and he was in no mood.
"Well, I sense that you are very powerful. More powerful then the fools in Celestia's court or the Nightmare king and queen themselfs, and lets not forget you are talking to the most talented pegasus in the black arts and yet the same power within you could possibly make it a challenge and I can tell you care not what happens to these ponies as long as they paid what they owe you." Silent exclaimed.
BladeRunner was less tense now, he had the curious expression on his face, the imagination going through his head... he wanted more. he looked to the being before him, with caution though, he spoke, "So, if I were to join you, what would I get in return?"
"Oh so many things like: Power, riches, Lustful pleasure, and the ability to summon creatures of great power and be able to dominate them. I could go on but both of our times would be wasted and nothing is more precious then time." he said gracefully.
Hotshot began to worry, Why would that pony try and join the wrong team and be evil it did not make sense in his brain He had to act regardless of the danger that would put him in he could handle that later with blade in hand he jumped in between both ponies Hotshot lowered his mouth to drop his sword so he could speak but he still had it ready " Listen I don't know who you ponies are but threaten equestria my home I will make sure you pay " He turned his eyes to the one who had wanted to join " Don't do this "
BladeRunner thought for a moment. He could say yes, resulting in greater deals, but if he said no, then would there be consequence? He was not from this country, as a matter of fact, he was not of this world. Arriving here as a pony was unexpected, arriving here at all was unexacting, he had only hoped he would go to Heaven with his mother and father and his other military buddies, but that had changed. Blade was going to make a decision that would work out for the allied ponies, but for now, he needed to do something he should have done years ago, "Alright, I'll join up."
Silent grinned and said "You have made a very wise choice young alicorn and with my help you shall grow to be a powerful being not only in Equestria but maybe in the universe." then a undead dragon landed next to the alicorn and bowed to it. "Consider the dragon as a gift."
(I'm back.) "Forget the alliance," said Nightmare Spectra, "We don't need help." She flew back to Spectropolis. Sent from MAH BOI using DINNER
Hotshot could not win this fight 3 on 1 plus they have a dragon but he kept his courage up " How dare you traitor " Hotshot said to Blade His black mane blew in the wind He looked at the other one the mastermind by what it seems " Embrace Meeeee " Hotshot picked up his sword and slashed at the one who had brought the dragon
In a fast speed, BladeRunner blocked it with his own black claymore, both blades making contact. He had the look in his eyes that he did not want to fight, and one would see it. "You are no chance," Blade said as he used the force of his body and weight to push the pony back, giving the two some distance, "There reason to fight no more. I'll give you the choice, leave to be slaughtered another day, or stay and die." He was determined, a wicked grin spreading across his face, his heart picking up pace and his mind felt darkened. What was this feeling he has not felt in ages? What was this feeling he had missed so much? War. His old, primitive self kicking in, he wanted the challenge, yet, he wanted this one pony to get stronger so he could have the challenge in the end.
"I would love to stay and see you kill this pest but I things to prepare. Meet me Spectropolis when your done and your traing shall begin." he said wickedly but before he left he commanded his demon soldiers to bring all corpses- shredded or not- back to his warehouse of horrors.
Mage only had one choice at this point. Luckily, he had regained enough magic to use one last spell. He didn't want to... but... with the way things were going right now... he didn't exactly have a choice. He had to survive. No matter what the cost. He placed the sword Hotshot had given him onto the ground as quietly as he could so he wouldn't bring attention apon himself. It was the least he could do. The sword was important to Hotshot after all. Then... Mage's horn began to glow. He focused. Finally... he disappeared. Out of Canterlot. Mage reappeared in what looked to be a bunch of ruins. It was the old castle in the Everfree Forest that had once held the Elements of Harmony. He was told by all of his teachers that if worse came to worse, and the city was done for, he should teleport there and survive for as long as he could. So, that's what he did. Mage slumped against a nearby wall and fell to the cold concrete floor. He couldn't help it anymore... tears began to appear in his eyes... and... he cried. His home... was no more. He had used up the rest of his magic. His despair and depression eventually led him to fall unconscious from the grief. ((Sorry if it seems like I'm abandoning/leaving you behind too Dashie1, but, with the way things are going right now, Mage just wants to survive at this point. So, again, sorry. :ahh)
" Mage a little help " Hotshot spoke but no answer his friend was clearly not coming This pony was stronger yet his determination made him unafraid " I never run away from a good fight you just have to kill me then but listen why would you want to be on the wrong side I don't get it " Hotshots voice began to become louder " We are all good inside you know and maybe you can realize that one day " He pulled his blade up " But if you ever threaten my home and everypony we have a problem!!! " Adrenaline was rushing in his veins "First tell me why " ??!!
BladeRunner answered straight forward, unafraid of anything they might throw at him, "What I am doing is evil, but what I will do later on will help you in the end." He said, unsure if his plan would work or not.
Hotshot began to become curious but stayed on his guard this could be a trick " How can I trust you? "
"I would have killed if I wanted to do so." BladeRunner said, the sword still at the ready incase they wanted to attack.
