It started with just a simple poke… *Rashall pokes Blize* It started with just two friends… *Blize pokes Rashall back* But then it turned into something more… *Blize puts on sunglasses and pokes Rashall at full speed* One thing lead to another… *blocks Blize's poke with a storm shield then counter pokes with a thunder hammer* Getting more extreme with each poke… *Pokes the other ponies out of the way and then slowly raises out of crater surrounded by a bright white aura of energy and shouts to the skies and pulls out a giant scythe imbued with fire. Comes at Rashall with full power, a glow in his eyes, and pokes Rashall as hard as he can with his fire scythe.* *Teleports away from Blizes poke then delivers another poke* *Crashes to the ground from Rashall's teleport and then looks up with fury* You dare try to avoid me!? *Hovers over Rashall and holds his hands in the air, collecting energy in them, and then releases a poke blast directly onto him.* @ Blize- the Hexagamic and pentagramic wards carved into the armor and skin of the terminator activate burning to a bright intensity and the poke dissipates the marine yells, "This ends now!!!" you hear chanting and notice a strange buzzing in the air, then there is a blinding flash of light as the marine unleashes a huge poke at you. *He slowly falls to his knees. Wary. Defeated. But not giving up.* You think you have won sir... You think you have this day. I will give you this small victory, but I must tell you something... I. Am. Not. DONE!!!!! *He releases a wave of energy knocking everypony down in the area and stands to his feet once again. He flashes away and reappears behind Rashall, delivering a poke to the back of the neck, and then flashes away again and reappears in front of Rashall and pokes him in the chest. He then lets out a roar and makes duplicates of himself and they all poke Rashall at hyper speed. He then looks at Rashall and disappears.* Come find me... Then the real poke war begins... The terminator stands, "He's gone for now sir" says the terminator into his com feed he then disappears only to reappear on a ship several hundred feet above the ground. "Good work Firedrake Helios, captain bring the ship about we have a new adversary set scanners to maximum and put all ships on full alert." says the pony standing in front of Helios. The Poking war has begun. This is continued from the poke war that Rashall and I started in the Poke Thread of Pokes.

Blize appeared on the edge of a cliff, a good umpteen miles from the original battleground. He let out a breath and poked at the ground with his hoof*. Although he had no doubt that Rashall could find him again he was thankful to still be alive. Who knows what would have happened if he hadn't gotten out of there. He needed to train, and quick. For he had no doubt that soon enough Rashall would find extra people to fight with him. He had no doubt that he'd be found soon. He stepped away from the cliff and then ran and jumped off of it. As he fell to the ground, he thought of how he could master his energy poke. His descent hastened and instead of flapping his wings he let out a large energy blast at the ground to bounce him back up into the sky where he unfolded his wings and soared up higher and higher. Sweat ran down his brow as he ascended up into the sky until he stalled, closed his wings, and turned towards the ground. He fell at as fast a speed as he could. Perhaps if he could pick up enough speed he would be able to touch the ground with one hoof, create a crack, and then let out an energy blast and fly back up into the sky without harming himself. This was his only chance. He hoped he wouldn't ruin it.
Name: David Age: 13 Race: Pegasus Colors: Blue mane, yellow skin. Powers: Agility Team: Power- Blize's team. Ultimate Poke Attack: Agility blitz.
As i appeared behind blize, i knew what must be done. I had scouted ahead into the battlefield to check for rashall's army. I had not prepared myself for what lied ahead, my wings stopped working and I could not see Blize anymore. This was bad.
Several miles to the west Rashall was on the bridge of his flagship the Lights Vengeance the venerable cloud vessel was the last of its kind, a battle barge. The weapons aboard could destroy anything that it's commander demand worthy. "Well it would seem that this 'Blize' has disappeared for now sir." said captain Swiftwind. "Yes, but he is most likely trying to train forces. I believe we should do the same." replied Rashall, the cloud ship set course for the Tower of Angels the home of the Angels of Armageddon and it's allies.

But 2 miles west of the Tower of Angels is a lone figure. Like a pillar alone on the plains about him, He vigilantly stands, watching the sky ship above with a great deal of interest. His mane, stark white in colour, wreaths as it is battered by strong winds; His tattered cloak, like a faded flag to his presence unceremoniously flaps behind him. His appearance, though well traveled, it is not uncouth. He raises his hoof, and glances at it; A motion reminiscent of checking a watch. "Not yet." Grey mutters, but his words are lost in the wind. (EDIT: That wasn't a double post. There was a post between these 2, but it was deleted.)
Walking around the grass field i spot the Lights Vengeance probably heading towards the Tower of Angels. I had been a Rashall follower for years i run right under the ship and yell trying to get their attention. I thought about it and they couldn't hear me at all so i run to the Tower of Angels so i can finally meet the famous Rashall.
Name: Crimson Age:16 Race:Alicorn Colours:Mane:Long purple with yellow stripe through it.Maroon Skin Powers:Very High Speed Flight,Temporary Invisibility,Skilled at Magic(After going to a Magic School ) Team:Unaffiliated Ultimate Poke: Sonic rainboom poke
As i see rashall's ship i run back to blize to warn him. My energy is low and i need to rest. There is only 2 more miles.. i must keep going.
Blize continues down to the ground with as much speed, but as much poise as he could. "I can't mess this up.." He said to himself. He was mere feet from the ground and he put out his right hoof and let out a cry as he stabbed at the ground at high speed and then bounced up in a gigantic explosion of energy. He hovered in the sky and looked at the damage. The ground below had a wide and deep crater. There was a shockwave cloud moving out from it. "Dang it." He muttered. His enemies and anyone within 15 miles of the area was bound to see it.
As i realized what blize had done, i knew i had to distract the enemy from spotting him. I quickly used my agility to run past the enemies to get them on me, they began to chase me and i knew Blize should be safe.. or i thought.
Grey lifts a hoof, using his cloak to shield his eyes from the flash. An observant onlooker would note he did it preemptively. He lowers the hoof and turns. Looking up, his eyes follow David in his path across the sky. He waves a hoof, In attempt to garner the Pegasus' attention.
I notice the strange earth pony on the ground.. I quickly fly down and hold him on the ground, asking: Who are you? Are you working for Rashall?
(Whoa slow down there Danvid23, I haven't even posted anything relating to my forces spotting Blize just yet.) The Lights Vengeance pulled into the docking station above the Tower of Angels after an hour of travel. "Rashall there you are, Atolli needs to speak with you quickly seems something has happened on the other side of the field. Oh and a pony named Clef seems eager to meet you." said Wolf-N-Mane with a smile. "Very well then." said Rashall, as he walked to find this pony several wolves took up position around him guarding him effectively.
"I take no sides in this conflict. Yet." replies Grey. He turns to look North, breaking eye contact with David. "The lines are unclear. Fractured. Broken." He says as much to David as himself, "But, I ask that you bear a message to Blize." He turns back to David. "Fate favors those who are patient. Play your cards right, and you'll have my loyalty." He unceremoniously turns to leave. Looking back, he adds "You best be on your way. Time is an impatient master."
Even as Rashall decided to train his own force, a nearby shadow began to shift. To the surprise of everypony on the bridge, a black pegasus materialized from the shadow. He silently strode to Rashall’s side. The pegasus had an ash grey mane, and a tail and eyes of the same color, but one streak of white ran through his mane and tail. He spoke in a soft voice, “I hear you’re looking for an army… I’m tired of being a mercenary. I hereby offer you my services.” Before Rashall could answer, the mysterious pegasus cut him off, “Of course, you’re not the ONLY pony looking for an army. I’m offering my services to the one called Blize as well. Whoever convinces me that they have the most honorable and just cause will receive my undying loyalty. Until next time, my name is Kidd, whenever you feel like wining my services, just speak your values into the nearest shadow.” And with that, Kidd melted back into the shadow, and was nowhere to be found. As Blize flew through the clouds, he was surprised by the sudden appearance of a black pegasus that seemed to rise out of a particularly dark cloud. He said, “Hello, my name is Kidd.” Kidd then offered Blize the same deal as Rashall. After the last word was spoken, he disappeared into another dark cloud, leaving Blize to attempt his trick.
