The Resistance

Dark's ear peice lay on the ground, her body nearby, the Commander stood over her triumphantly. By now, reinforcements more than twice the size of the remaining Resistance forces had arrived, and were currently mowing their way through them. The Commander heard the earpeicestart to talk and picked it up and listened. After Firebreeze finished talking, the Commander laughed. She had never truely cared for that idiot, in fact, they freed her of anything holding her back. The Commander spoke into the mic, "Dark is dead." and tossed it to the said laughing.

Dark felt like she was falling, falling, falling. She couldn't acually see, but she could see the darkness it was so black. Suddenly, she heard Snow's last words, "I will always be with you heart, mind, and soul." and a magical white cloud, aura type thing come into her vision. She felt like she was falling no more, and the cloud of magic floating in front of her felt comforting. It then spoke, "I will now fulfill my promise, Dark." it said in a ghostly version of Snow's voice, and dived into her.

Dark's body began flosting up, with black and white magical sparks jumping out from her body. It stopped about five feet from the ground and a bright white flash happened, temporarily blinding anyone nearby. When the Commander regained her composure, she looked towards Dark's body, or whay used to be her body. For now, standing heroically, stood probably most powerful creature outside the royal family, the alicorn Snow Light.

 

Snow Light and the Commander started fighting from the moment that they saw each other. Massive fireings of magic streamed whereever they were, right now they were hovering over the battle taking place below them, that the Secret Police was winning, as regular army personel made their way into the fight. They hovered, staring at each other, Snow Light flapping her wings, and the Commander hovering by use of magic. They were both out of breath and were taking a silently agreed upon break in fighting when the Commander saw Firebreeze's fire trail. Snow Light saw the Commander look up and then back down and only watched in horror as a magic beam powerful enough to incerirate a concrete wall slammed into her friend. Rage filled Snow Light and she attacked mercylessly at the Commander yelling and screaming.

(And Ace, you can join since you are an Element. And DJ, can you please claify WHAT your character is doing.)

 

Snow Light had pinned the Commander to the ground, they were surrounded by troops of both forces who had stopped fighting to see the result of this fight. Snow Light glared angrily at the Commander before ripping off the Commander's idenity concealing helmet. And there she laid, the previous Commander, Snow's body, corrupted by the magic of Tremalion. Snow Light lowered her horn and suddenly there was a massive flash of light. Snow Light appeared in a dark room and said, "I didn't do that." before passing out.

 

(Come on guys, I can't move onto LOCP 4 until this is wrapped up! Post some more! You know what, screw it, I'm startin LOCP 4)

 

(Ok, ok to both of you)

Snow Light looked around the room. It was very dark, but then a hidden door opened, and from it stepped Tremalion. "Well, if it isn't the last element, the one that has been missing for time untold. The Element of Balance, why do you fight the inevitable?" He said. He was soon followed by his brother Heculius, and Heculius began to speak, "You know, we've been talking to our sisters, they are completly fine with our current arrangement with them, but you Resistance members are destroying what could be a lasting peace. I see the confusion in your eyes, you see, when Tremalion took power, he was merciful with our sisters. He made an arrangment, while He and I would lead Equestria, they would remain responsible for night and day. You see, perfect balance. Tremalion got the trone, but the sisters still have a great influence over the country." They stood there as they let Snow Light absorb the news.

 

Snow Light lay broken and defeated on the cot granted to her. It had all been too much, the previous Commander had somehow survived the blast that killed Snow, then for the fifth time, they had been beaten back from the hill and she didn't know if Firebreeze even survived, she had learned that Celestia and Luna were still around, still raising the moon and sun, but from an unknown location. And now, she had nothing to do, and despite her want to split into Snow's essence and Dark again, she knew if she did that, Dark would die from her wound. She felt like she was being slammed in between a rock and a hard place, with no way out. She looked to the sky and said, "please, let Firebreeze be okay." and collasped on the cot again.

 

Snow Light was bucking a wall, not trying to break it down, but out of sheer boredom, when Tremalion and Heculius stepped in from the hidden door. "So, what are you gonna do with me, huh? Do what you did to Snow?" she said.
Tremalion shook his head, "No, I am not. You are the Element of Balance, I would fail if I tryed because that would make it unbalanced and therefore, render you useless. No, if you chose to support me, that is up to you. And also, to let you know, I freed the body. All it takes is a seperation Snow, and you have your body back. Oh, and I am currently in negtioation with your remaining Resistance leaders, for a peace deal. I'm sure they will come to their senses after they figure out their Princesses that they are fighting for still control the sun and moon, and yet refuse to change their patterns to help a movement that supposively fight for them." and then Tremalion left, leaving Heculius and Snow Light in the room. Heculius, always the more friendly of the two brothers sat down on Snow Light's cot.
"You know, all my brother wants is a peaceful end to this. He is truely not much one for volience, the last civil war showed that. Last time, when he could have easily crushed Celestia's small movement from the very beginning, but he chose to try to reason with her instead. Celestia refused, and continued to hold the small pockets that she held of Equestria. You see, Tremalion was in fact a very popular ruler in his time, ponies in all courners of Equestria loved him. And as he controls the weather, he was especially popular with the pegisi, as now. I mean, I have seen probably the quarter of the number of pegisi go to the Resistance instead of Tremalion's army. But, you continue to fight a very wise ruler, a very smart one as well. But, his age is showing. He could have easily made this civil war a short one, but he moved slowly. He is set in the old ways, he is alot older than he lets on, in fact, he probably soon will retire and hand the throne to me." Heculius looked up to the ceiling, as if imagining what he would do. "You know Snow Light, if anything happened to my brother, say an illness or injury that would force him to step down and hand the throne over to me, i could end this silly war easily. I mena, what would be so bad about what I'm planning to do, I am after all, the Element of Divine Right."and Heculius left the room, leaving Snow Light to wonder what just happened, was Heculius telling her that he was planning a coup, or his brother was acually in a lot worse conditin than he let on? She didn't know, but she was not going to return to Snow and Dark untill this whole mess was sorted out.

 

Snow Light sat at the peace negotiation table. Although she was to take an active part in it, she was still considered a POW (prisoner of war if you didn't know). So far, they managed to convince Tremalion to release most ponies captured by the Secret Police, also to let Celestia and Luna to at least be able to be seen in public. In exchange, life would return to normal, only with Tremalion at the throne, but he had to have old Resistance leaders advise him. Right before the last signature was put down by Tremalion, his hoof suddenly started shacking. Soon, his whole body was overwhelmed by a seizure, and was forthing at the mouth. This continued for some several minutes without anypony being able to help, his fit finally stopped and lay still on the ground. He slowly looked up, and for the first time, they realized just how old he was. One look in his eyes showed the hundreds of years of his life, much longer than anypony, royal or not, alicorn or other, should be able to live. He slowly pulled himself up, his old vigor suddenly gone, very different from the pony they had seen just minutes ago. He said something, looked fruastreated when no pony understood him and cleared his throat. "I... cannot...sign this." He said weakly. He motioned for everypony to lean in closer, "My time is coming ever closer, something that not even I can face. He turned to Heculius, who was obviously shaken at the suddenness of what was going on, and said, "Heculius, I have not been intirely truthful with you, with any of you." he said motioning to the group and beyond. "You see, I am not you real brother, nor the brother of the sisters." he soon fell into a coughing fit, before continuing, "For you see, I am more than a mere brother, I am the original, the founder." he started coughing again, "I am... your father (NOT A STAR WARS REFERENCE)." He then collasped into another coughing fit before saying one last thing, "Heculius, you are my son and heir. You must take the throne, and help restore the peace, Equestria must not be torn apart by the wars! Why do you think I created the Elements of Harmony!" he suddenly covered his mouth, but then sighed. "Well, since its out there, I might as well explain. You see, I created the Elements, both sets! I gave one to your true brother, who's name was really Tremalion, and the other to my first daughter, Celestia. My real name is Ruthrotius, and your brother and sister did fight the first civil war, but Tremalion was killed in the last moments of the war, by his very own Element of Balance, whose succusor stands with us. Now, this war to must end with my death, not by age, but by" he turned to Snow Light, "By the Element of Balance." Snow Light was taken aback. Everypony stared at her, "It is the only way to truely end this war and bring about peace." Ruthrotius said. She looked around, and everypony either just stared, or gave a small nod. She stood up, braced herself, and fired a massively powerful spell at the old pony. The room was filled with light, and Snow Light heard a voice in her head that said, "Thank you." and everypony passed out as the Light filled the room ever more. Soon, it broke out, letting a massive wave of light spread across Equestia, one that would calm the war in everpony's hearts.
