Her ears caught the sound of hooves coming up, and she turned around to see Flame. "Flame! I thought that you were with the rest." Brush said as she looked behind him to see if they were following. "Did you guys see those things?" She asked as she glanced back down the hole at Blazing.

"So, three ponies came back looking for their fallen friend? How pathetic. If that is so, then you may be getting more than you wished for, as he isn't quite the same he used to be." The Fearling said as he appeared, talking to Blazing, Brush, and Flame.

Don't bother running, you're already dead.
Flame had only heard rumors about it. Maybe even briefly spotted it back before. The sheer presence of it flinched him. He couldn't move. It wouldn't matter. It was truly a superior being with far more power than all of them combined. The peak of evolution. The strongest in the food chain. It was fear itself.

"If that is the case, then you better be prepared for what you wished for, as you might not like it." With that, the Fearling disappeared and out of the shadows came what looked like a Darkling, but in FC's shape. It was pure black with grey eyes and the hair was a gradient of light grey to black. The wings and tail were different, with the tail having sharp protrusions on it and the wings were more dragon like, unlike FC's regular pony like tail and feathery amphithere dragon wings. The creature attacked, launching itself at Brush, claws outstretched. Inside the creature's mind, FC consciousness was trapped, trying to free itself. Normally FC could break any mind control, but this thing had allied itself with Animalis and taken Night Terror captive, kind of being a combination of the two. He couldn't break its hold. He knew he had become a monster.

But as she watched FC pass, she brought her sword up in a defensive position, and she got back up. What was she going to do to get FC back? Was now one of many questions that raced in her mind. "Get out of him!" she yelled.

Grey leaped down from the building he was atop and landed between the survivors and the Fearling. The ground beneath him cratered slightly, and as he began to stand upright, he grabbed the curved handles on his hips and squeezed them. They exploded into a brilliant blueish-white. "You have no place here Fearling... Leave... Before I make this our third and final confrontation..." He readied himself, preparing to do battle with an old enemy. (The Fearling and Grey have a small history in the ten years that he's been in Equestria. The portion of his horn that is gone was broken off by the Fearling, and most of the scars on him are also from the Fearling.)

"Who said I was controlling him?" The Fearling said reappearing on top of the wreckage. "When he ate the remains of the Alpha Hunterling you killed, he gained back his actual strength. Seeing as he discovered that, I couldn't let him go on, as he would come after me, as I took a majority of his healing factor, while targeting the new Darkling types to gain back his other abilities. The Drainlings for his magical immunity, the Darkling Dragons for his ability to turn into an amphithere dragon, and any others you have not seen yet. The only abilities we couldn't take where his abilities over coldfire and the newer ones he gained in the process of saving you. Unlike other darklings, I couldn't take over his mind, only push it in directions. Also because of that, he isn't really harmed much by light weapons or natural combat tactics like horn, teeth, and claw. I doubt you could find the one thing to bring his mind out of the mental prison he is set in." With that, the Fearling disappeared again, leaving the new Darkling to turn its attention to the dragon newcomer. ((Aurora, one thing about coldfire, it is kind of the combination of fire and ice, meaning it is a sky blue fire caused by extreme cold, kind of the "so cold it burns". It is immune to fire, ice, and water. Dragon hide doesn't work well against it.))

The darkling attacked the dragon, slashing with his claws, lighting them up with coldfire, emanating cold. It had also another way of attacking. It had Slenderman style tentacles, but the acted just like normal limbs, so it seemed like there were strikes coming from multiple directions.
#1616
Posted 03 April 2016 - 10:49 PM
She stole a glance out at the field, studying the claws that lit up with something, though she didn't know what that something was. It was focused on the dragon, and she hoped that neither it, nor the Fearling, could sense the presence of other darklings, as she summoned Vera.

Grey struck his swords together, generating a shock wave that sent the darkling back. The force of the explosion would hurt more than the impact, since the shock wave was plasma based. The two blade striking also caused a flashbang effect, blinding the darkling. Grey moved to his original position, and waited for the darkling to makes its next move.

((This is what Darkling FC looks like, but the eyes are blue when he is in control, and they are grey when the creature is in control.))

((Also, I wanted this to end in either one of two ways of him getting back control of his body. They are either: 1)Blazing stabs him in the chest with his sword, breaking the creature's control, or 2)The Fearling hurts Emerald/Vera, causing FC to gain back control because of the promise he made to Blazing to protect Emerald, thus making FC very angry and beating the snarf out of the Fearling, but not killing it.))

Brush ran as fast as her leg would let her towards a blue city mail box. Then she slashed the top open with her machete to reveal the hundreds of almost decade old letters and packages inside. The letters all glowed in her magic as she summoned them all up into the air, then they all straightened out and sharpened flat like a hundred blades. The letters zipped towards FC like a hundred enchanted knives.
There were even more letters on the bottom so she took them as well. The letters hovered over her like a flock as she limped away from the mail box. She wasn't expecting the letters to do much damage.

Sky was waiting idly along with Solar and Sierif in the radio tower, partly waiting for Flame, partly trying to come up with ideas on what to do.
"Need any help?" Flame asked Brush, galloping up to her to provide at least some sort of assistance. He didn't know how to deal with that problem, but Flame didn't want to simply sit by and watch companions get hurt.
Upon further inspection, FC didn't appear too strong, did he? He wasn't immortal, that was for sure. "Brush, I dunno about you, but I doubt FC can be saved."

Vera sighed, seeing as Emerald wouldn't budge from the spot. "Emerald, c'mon, it's dangerous to stay if he's around here somewhere." Vera muttered to the deer in a low voice.
"Not until I see that mother is alright, Vera." Emerald argued, "I have a weapon now, so I should be fine." She said, showing Vera the new pistol.
"And when it runs out of ammo?" Vera said, spotting holes in the ponies plan.
"I dissappear again, and find somewhere to hide, alright?" She said, hoisting herself up from behind a large pile of rubble, observing the battlefield. The helpful dragon from earlier who'd given them supplies seemed to be losing.

Grey attempted at a dodge and just barely got hit by the Darkling's tail. The tail tore a small hole in the skin of his wing, but it wasn't big enough to be a problem with flying. He returned with a kick at the Darkling's side, if it connected, a rib or two would definitely be broken.

The cloud of letters that she scooped from the mail box earlier began to swirl around her like a vortex, then they blasted towards FC in a wave. Upon contact, they would begin sticking to his body. But most were aimed for the face to try and blind him.

The creature turned its head to look at what the Fearling had found. Inside, FC saw what was happening and remembered the promise he made to Blazing. He strained to break the creature's control, but he just couldn't quite get enough power. Fortunately, he got a little outside help. The dragon's kick and Brush's letters had broke its attention for long enough for FC to gain back control. "Get out of my body!" FC said to the creature. It came out of the back of his head, a creature that looked like a Kraata from Bionicle, but pure black. Unfortunately, the damage had been done, as FC's body was stuck in Darkling form, with the only change being the eyes were a striking sky blue instead of gray. The darkling kraata landed besides Grey, looking for a new host to control.

"Put them the **** down you slimy gut eating piece of ****."
That was what FC said in darkling, standing right next to the Fearling, who hadn't even seen him move. FC swung his tail at the Fearling's eyes, the blades on his tail blinding it as they cut into its eyes. The Fearling let go of its magic grasp on Emerald and Vera, FC picking them up and teleporting out of the Fearling's reach, putting the two back down on the ground.

Brush came up to Vera and Emerald as FC put them down. "We need to take Grey's advice and leave the dragons with their new chew toy." Brush said. She knew she'd be screwed in close combat with her leg like this. And she needed to save her magic to get this leg mended finally. But just then, she looked around and wondered if Grey was still even in the fight. She didn't think that he left. She kept firing at the Fearling. 3 more shots.

Seeing that FC had gotten his two friends out, Grey got a running started off of the building and landed on the Fearling's back with all 315 lbs of muscle. This shattered the Fearling's back, ribs, and hips. He had also sunk his left blade into the Fearling's back. His right blade cut the Fearling's horn off, then went through its neck.

The flock of Dragons were flying to the Frozen North somewhere miles away from the city when a blood curtailing scream passed the alpha male dragon's ears. He immediately turned back around and headed back for the city.
Brush immediately put her shield up to protect her, and the girls from the shards that flew out. They impacted her shield and made ripples along the shield's surface like rocks in a pond, but luckily didn't get through. Afterwards, she brought the shield down and hopped over to Grey's aid if he needed it. "Please don't be super bad!" Brush said before she reached him.

"Care to introduce me to this new dragon friend of yours?" she asked sheepishly, knowing her and Flame had been gone for awhile. Sky expected Sierif and Solar to come with them whenever they were ready, but didn't count on too much. Knowing Solar, he'd fortify himself right behind the facility's doors.

Emerald sighed, slightly relieved, before hearing the cry, and jerking to attention. She instantly looked to FC, hoping he had something reassuring to say, before noticing a flicker of movement near him. Vera was huddled close to her, so it must be someone else with a pink muzzle...
Blazing watched FC from behind, unsure if it was safe anymore. She didn't want to risk needing to hurt him in self defense, but she was sure he was better now, she'd seen him save Emerald. She smiled, deciding finally, and trotted out, curious on what he and the other dragon were talking about.

Solar had watched both Flame and Sky run off, into somewhere he didn't know. Where did they go? How did they know where to go? These questions and their tough answers made him to not want to head off into their unknown. But to not follow his friends would be the same as betraying them, right? He swallowed hard, and began running into his friends' direction, leaving Sierif behind, wanting to catch up so he wouldn't miss anything.

As long as we got the information from the radio tower then we should be fine on that part... Also..." Brush turned to FC. He was standing there and talking! He was alive! Part of her wanted to tackle him and hug him. But the other part of her still deeply regretted what she did. Brush decided to skip that and looked over to Sky after a brief moment. "S-Sky. Please tell me that your group got what they came for. If we did then we can get going right now. I'm getting a bad feeling about staying here again. We can come back and take this place, or do whatever when we come back."
The dragon began to pick up the familiar scent of one of its own. But also the scent of a different kind of dragon that it wasn't quite familiar with. If one of its own got left behind, then it needed to come back with the heard where it was safe. The rest of the scents will become little pony munchie snacks. It let out a roar that carried all the way back to the city. Which was a warning shot.

The situation came back to Brush as she pulled away, wiped her eyes and sniffed. "Thanks FC..." She then looked in the direction that the two ponies came from as she thought for a bit. Getting this place under wraps was going to be a lot harder than she thought. The only other choice that they had was Solar's labs. But going in there right now would be stupid. Even if the labs went deep enough underground to hide. The dragon could knock the building down and trap them. Or they could get pinned by the Darklings.
Brush sighed. Then turned to Flame. "If that's the roar from the same dragon from earlier, then I don't think we can out run it. And I'm not about to go through that forest again. It has to be crawling with Darklings more now than it was before." Brush said as she looked at it. She shuddered at the possibilities of what the Darklings could do to them in there. She looked around, then she spotted a small abandoned Pony-Haul (U-Haul) moving truck with a harness attached to the front for a pony to pull it. Maybe she could get Grey to fly it, and get them all the heck out of here, and as far away as possible from that dragon, and the Darklings. Brush looked to Grey and asked him; "Grey. Could you hook up to that and fly us out while FC covers us?"
The Dragon was flying low enough so that it's form could be hidden. Buildings, trees, and mountains blocked it from view as it advanced on the city that was comming over the horizon.

Solar had watched Brush's actions, and wondered what she was up to. He trotted up to her, and looked up at where she was in that funny looking position, "Are you planning to stay here?

But unfortunately, after a few seconds of channeling the needed magic, her horn burned out. There was a painful shock of magical electricity that caught the paper, and disintegrated it to dust. All of the abuse from the day since she met this group had finally caught up to her horn. And her horn wasn't quite done healing from the previous burn out. Brush looked at her blackened horn, then to Grey. She looked pretty defeated. "Ahh crap. I guess we drive by land then." Brush looked around the surface of the truck for a safe way to get back down without making her leg sting or hurting herself.

"S-So you're leaving?" Solar asked, his voice stuttering from this new development, "I... I hadn't really thought of leaving."
A little tiny Geoffrey materialized from his wrist device, and Solar stared at it, confused.
"From what I think, this place may have some interesting developments, Solar. Personally, I would go just to explore."
Solar pondered on that thought. He hadn't wanted to leave Manehattan. It was, in short, his home. He had even regarded the scientists as his family, since he had a lack of one thereof, so he knew. But his friends, the ones who depended on him for whatever he was good at; Probably just mechanics and such, were waiting for him to go. In the end, Solar sighed and accepted the AI's suggestion. After all, Geoffrey had been changing recently. He was sure that the little computer would like to go exploring.
"I suppose I have made up my mind. Although... once we're done getting to these 'Falls', I'd like to head straight back here. It is my home, after all," Solar replied, "Sorry Flame, I would love to stay and get things done around here. But perhaps we can make Manehattan better if we get some exploring in. Who knows? Maybe we'll find some cool part that would fix up a radio station in a jiffy."

And if I keep pushing my horn like this, I won't have one. Grey took care of the bigger problem with my head. But my leg hasn't been mended yet. I'll take care of it when I get to Neighagrah Falls." Brush looked at the city as well. After a bit of a pause she continued. "Im hoping that in due time we can take back this city.

Brush got up a bit and hit the back ((or is it front? O.o)) of the trailer wall three times to let Grey know that they were ready. Then she laid back down next to Flame. "Yeah, I don't mind. They're a mix of what I learned out here and some study projects." Brush said as she put her head down.
"As for the dragon. His name is Grey. When I first met him, I was wary of him as well. But after everything that he has already done; which includes my head, the supplies he gave us, and he kept FC alive. As far as I'm concerned he's good in my book."

"I suppose... nice to meet you, Grey," Solar said carefully, staring at the dragon, "I've never seen a dragon this close before. I wonder how other dragons are coping with this apocalypse? You seem to handle it well, and have much to spare for others."

"I won't expect too much," Sky told, glancing towards Grey with doubt in her eyes. "I get it if he was sent from the Lunar Station, but... he's far too kind. I don't know what to think."
"It doesn't help with all of us becoming so strong in so little time," Flame commented. "Against the extreme odds, we've managed to survive. I'm afraid some part of us has been changed." Flame glanced back at Solar, knowing that stallion was perhaps the most sane of them.
Unlike the others, Solar --according to Flame-- actually didn't seem that strong. He wasn't a darkling killer, nor was he any exceptional during combat. Except those parts of Solar made Flame relate to him a bit. What Flame needed now was teammates with flaws; teammates he could relate to. At least that way he knew Solar hadn't been changed too much by the incident.

A Hunter Darkling stepped out of an alley way a block away. It was looking for the source of the scream. And he spotted the truck. The Hunter started to make its way to the truck. Along with others that followed behind him.
"I'm done..." Brush was worn out at this point.
((I don't want to do another action scene for a few reasons. Aurora said that he wanted to time skip. And I kind of want to too because I don't really want to do a chase scene. As fun as it would be, I think that the characters are run down at this point. And any more action would be just silly. So if you want a time skip Aurora then you have my yes.))

Grey sighed and pulled a device from his hoodie pocket. He pressed a button and placed it on the side of the truck trailer. After a few seconds Grey and the trailer were completely invisible. And on that note, Grey began his journey to Sanctuary...
After a rather surprisingly swift trip of 1 hour and 17 minutes, they had arrived at Grey's humble abode on the edge of the city of Sanctuary. Sanctuary was much larger than one might've first thought. It looked like Manehatten, just a little smaller. It had small high rises and other fairly large buildings. They appeared to also have a central government, an education system, water, electricity, and biodomes for growing food year round. Hell! They had a god damn shield generator covering most of the city, minus the very outskirts where most of the first-line defenders lived, including Grey. The city had several easily recognizable buildings, including a barracks, a hospital, a couple of factories, and a few other buildings. Near the shield generator, was a weird crystal that was rather large, being about the size of most of the homes in Sanctuary. The crystal was suspended in mid-air and gave a slight glow. There were a few metal plates in the shape of diamonds that orbited around the crystal. They had some hydroelectric generators built to take advantage of the natural falls. There appeared to be several buildings spread around the entire city that appeared to be more hive-like than pony-like. Pegasi, earth ponies, unicorns, griffons, dragons, changlings, deer, zebras, and hybrids of all different species were traversing the city. On the edge of the shield bubble, outposts were placed at key weak points in the defenses. In what appeared to be the military zone of the city, there was a what could only be described as hardlight artillery cannons. Maybe they were for bombarding Darkling hives? Whatever they were for, which was something big, it didn't concern them. Most of the advanced technology wasn't of pony origin, although some of the technology appeared to be a combination of pony and ancient dragon technology. The rest of the technology that was 'ancient', was made by the first dragon civilization, appropriately named, 'Primal Born'. The tech was hundreds of years old, but when compared to what the ponies had before the Darkling attack, it was leaps and bounds ahead of them.

((We might need some more conflict with N.F. or something. I knew N.F. was a big settlement. But this is a "survival" RP. By bringing the characters to such a huge Utopia, they wont want to leave...ever. Basically the RP would end here. I know what I said earlier, our characters need a break. But I will have to use the Dragon to keep the RP going. 8 hours in RP time to let your characters rest and do whatever before the dragon starts breaking in. Then you can come up and kick my scaley ass! XD))
By using it's ability to sniff out other dragons, the dragon was able to follow the survivors to the settlement and collided with the shield. The entire bubble buckled and ripples expanded through the surface as the dragon regained it's composure from the impact. It flew around the settlement's shield to inspect it for a weak point. But it couldn't find one. So it circled once more, then rammed against it with enough power to make the shield ripple again. but no visible cracks were apparent yet. But this dragon was determined to get in there.
Brush was asleep inside the truck, she had knocked out during the ride. Not even the sounds of the banging shield could wake the mare.
((However, this massive amount of world building does give me an idea for a character that I have been tossing around though. I'll see what i can do.

Solar marveled at this newly discovered settlement that the dragon showed them. It was like a topside facility. He pondered the fact if his friends, the scientists, even knew this place existed. Then again, the scientists down below knew a lot more things Solar had managed to learn since the Incident.
The one thing that distanced this place than the facility was it's shield generator. How did it run? From what he believed, giant shields like this could only be conjured from the Princesses, using their magic. And even them couldn't hold forever. Even Geoffrey had appeared next to him, looking around.
Solar walked with the dragon into a set of small rooms, curious. Is there was where he was going to live? He certainly didn't want to really just 'live here'. It seemed unrealistic, something this large to be around. He walked over to the dragon, who seemed to be busy in conversation with a friend. Solar waited, and then spoke his thoughts.
"How did this place even come to be? It seems so... sophisticated," he said, wondering.
--------
Geoffrey had endured long enough being inside his little device. He had longed to activate his hologram, the full one. He had enough power to do so, after all. The normal light flashed near Solar, and Geoffrey looked out from where they were. To him, this place was very confusing. But then the one question came to him: Did this place have a computer mainframe? It seemed pretty advanced, for a settlement in this desolate wasteland. He could connect, and finally not have to worry about power for a while.

Brush opened up her eyes and lifted her head up off of the cold, metal floor of the truck and looked around. Her head was still groggy, and the only thing that she could think of right now was sleep. But when she saw what was outside, she perked up a bit. After Brush slowly worked her way out of the trailer she saw the shield covering the area. "Holly crap it's bigger than I thought!" She exclaimed. Then she spotted one of the shield generators with a pony stallion doing maintenance on it. She was so eager to find out all of its arcane secrets that she completely forgot about her leg as she tried to run instead of hop like she did during the fight. "OH CR-" She wound up face planting.
After she got back up and rubbed her face off as best as she could with her hoof, she looked back at the generator. "Ugh... Maybe later." She looked at where Solar had went in and followed him and saw the house interior and saw Solar. She came up to him. "See? I knew I was right. He took us straight here. No funny business... Unless the whole 'get to Neighagrah Falls' thing was a complex sham, and they're all actually cannibals wanting to eat out pony brains when we sleep." Brush put a hoof up to her chin and thought. "Or I'm just tired and over thinking it again... I need to go find a doctor." Brush looked over to Grey. "Where is this place's clinic?"

"Don't go wandering off already, Brush," Flame exclaimed. "We're not here to go sightseeing. I think Grey only wanted us to regroup in a safe place, before heading out again." The unicorn stallion nodded towards the dragon. "Grey wants to take out the nests, doesn't he? With the group from the Lunar Station, we're supposed to take out the hives."
"I-I don't think heading straight out towards the main hives is a good idea," Sky commented, the unicorn mare doubting the group's capabilities. FC had wounded the fearling, and they all survived several encounters with the rumored fearling, but... even they had limits, didn't they?! "We're not invincible. Even though some of us think they are..."
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Flame exclaimed, turning to look at Brush. "I use ignition-based magic most of the time. I figured I should tell you that before continuing on with magic training." Flame knew he had only used illumination spells thus far, yet the unicorn knew it was because of his cutie mark. A burning rose. "Ignition runes, to be precise. All spells which require the ignition rune is what I'm talented at. It includes fire spells, light spells, even spark/lightning based ones. Although I can't learn all spells from the different elements, I'm sure some of them would come naturally to me."

((Sorry, I've been busy with test prep stuff... Ugh...))
Grey looked at Brush, "I might be able to set your leg, but the hospital would do a much better job with it, and managing the pain, too. I'll take you there as soon as you guys get settled in." "Oh, and no, we have no intentions of eating you, we live with over a dozen other sentient species, so why would we?" Grey then turned to Sky, nodding, "Sky is correct, none of us are invincible, so rushing into the hives is not an option, period." Grey finally turned to Flame, "No, that is the last thing I'm going to do, and we are recuperating, here, in my humble abode." Ali spoke up, "I assume all of you are hungry after your travels, what would you like to eat for dinner?"
The shield rippled with every impact of the dragon's body. The shield was tough, he wouldn't be getting through very soon, but the real question was whether or not the settlement could kill the dragon and get the shields back up before more came.

A lone, wingless, 6.5 foot dragon that was wearing a black trench coat and two swords on either side of his hips walked up to the large, hill-sized, behemoth and called out to it. The smaller dragon’s hide was dark cyan, but the reflected light on his scales created a shimmering cyan highlight on the parts of him that weren’t covered by the trench coat.
“Hey! Do we come over to your home and bang on the door like that?! Get out of here!” the smaller dragon called out.
The larger dragon stopped and looked over at his smaller brethren. After a pause to take in the sight, the large dragon spoke. “A pure-bread!” His voice echoed with acknowledgment.
The smaller dragon scoffed. “Yeah! And there’s more of me down in this settlement that you’re bombarding! Most of them haven’t been tainted by the Darkling filth yet! That’s as long as this barrier stays up! So if you have any sense of dragon pride left in you, and any love for our race, you’d quit this crap and leave!” He bellowed angrily at the large dragon.
The large, looming, black Darkling Dragon snorted in disdain. “Pride!? What pride?! Our race is finished now! Nearly all of us are tainted by the Darklings! And there’s too few of us left now that haven’t been caressed by the vermin filth! Female dragons included!” The dragon angrily bellowed as a flame plume of dark fire exited his mouth. “There are too few pure-bloods to breed without inbreeding like hill ponies! All we can do now is survive the best we can. There is no more room for that nostalgic sentimentalism for the past that you call pride!” The dragon looked through the shield at the ponies below. "There is enough in this shield to support my flock for the next two months. And I will fight until I have them.” The dragon looked back at his smaller counter part. “Surely as a dragon yourself, you could understand.”
The smaller dragon looked troubled. “I do… But I have friends down there that I’m willing to protect. They’re all I have now. As much as it hurts me to say this, I can’t let you through this shield.” The small dragon pulled out both swords. The metal shimmered as he got into a stance.
The Darkling Dragon became agitated after hearing this. “You talk about pride and yet you do nothing to help your own race. Worse; you even choose to help the weak ponies and other weak races over helping the survival of your own superior race! You are a FOOL to even mention pride!” The dragon roared as he charged the younger dragon.
After a battle that lasted a few gruesome minutes, the large dragon was able to catch the younger dragon off guard and slammed him with a tail-whip.
The smaller dragon was slammed hard enough with the tail to send him off several miles into the distance, somewhere deep within the woods. His swords were left behind on the large shield. The larger dragon looked at them, then swept them off of the force field. The swords landed just next to the generators as the large dragon turned to continue its onslaught.
Only to be interrupted again. FC had arrived and was able to fly up with the swords of the young dragon that had failed only seconds before. FC shot up high into the air, then dove down like a falcon. He slashed a gaping wound in the dragon's side, landed, then bounced like a ball on the shield surface that they were standing on and did an upward slash towards the Dragon's neck.
The Dragon howled in rage as FC struck twice successfully, and the two engaged in battle. "You won't touch my friends! So get your dead-ass, zombie looking, claws off of that shield!" FC taunted.
((I had a little too much fun here. XD I'm debating on a gryphon, but leaning towards a dragon. You'll see when I put up his final app. He won't appear again until then.))
Brush nodded to Flame. “I don't want to bore you too much. So I'll just say that I specialize more with technical kinds of magic. From practical to serious. I say practical because... I tend to goof off. But that's all where my CM comes in. You guys had a taste of it already when we used those paper ball cluster bombs that we used on that hive earlier. Or... 'Cluster Bucks' for short. But when it comes to elemental magic I do better with ice and telekinesis.
She turned to the rest of the group and Grey. "I'm gonna go lay down. All the crap earlier made tired. I don't even want to hear anything about nests right now unless it's dead and gone. Tell me when you're ready Grey." Brush turned and made her way to a couch.

Emerald sighed, having looked around the room they were in multiple times, before yearing talk about a prospect of food, hopefully something other than hay this time. She turned to her mother, who sat slumped against a wall, distant, in some way. She then turned to Violet, who was tinkering with something from her saddlebag.
She listened to the conversations, before sitting down apart from everyone, thinking to herself.
((Was Light Core ever rebooted?))

"We're still the disorganized group as always," Flame told, pointing out the group's constant flaw. He felt like it wasn't even worth mentioning at this point. They were all busy doing... something. Flame thought Violet knew most of them, so maybe she could tell him what were going on in their heads... or maybe just ask them himself.
Sky had been standing next to Solar for a while, and had been startled by the sudden appearance of Geoffrey. "I figure the shield generator would run on... magic?" The unicorn mare suggested. "It's not that difficult to understand. Most magical inventions just draw magic from the surroundings. This one would draw magic either from a battery or from the environment."

As FC fought with the dragon up on the shield, he focused more on keeping it distracted. He wanted to buy the group more time to recuperate. If anything; he hoped to weaken it enough so they'd be able to take the dragon down, and he'd be able to get his form back.

In the workshop was several trinkets, gadgets, devices, armor pieces, weapons, and other items that appeared to all be handmade. Grey grabbed a device and flipped a switch. The device made a whirring noise and then fell silent. The device then began to glow a soft blue. Grey held out a claw, waiting for Brush's hoof to take it so they could go to the hospital.

"You'll be fine," Sky told Brush reassuringly. "I'd be more concerned about the forcefield." The unicorn mare turned to face Flame, adding "Also, what should we do with the dragon outside the city?"
"What? Since when did that happen?" Flame asked baffled, turning to look up at the sky. He spotted the dark form of... something. "How did y-... Y-You know what? I won't even question it!" Flame felt the need to warn the citizens of the threat outside, yet he felt calm. He didn't know whether the city's shield could hold the beast outside.
He doubted it could. "Wait, you didn't notice it?" Sky asked Flame. She glanced back at Solar, expecting the smart one to have realized. "You knew there was a darkling attacking the shield, didn't you?" She hoped Solar had known, or else she'd lose half her faith in the survival of their group.

The hospital waiting room was bland, and was like every other room in the hospital: white, sterile-smelling, tiled-floors, blue cushioned chairs, and a shelf with dozens of health magazines.
Alison shrugged, seeing that none of them were going to give her ideas for dinner, she cleared her throat and spoke, "Bedrooms are down the hallway if you wish to rest while I prepare dinner." With that she walked into the kitchen to begin prepping dinner.

She looked the chairs over and considered it as Grey and the nurse at the desk talked. But when Brush heard the word 'surgery' she looked a little worried. "Grey, this surgery won't be extensive will it? I don’t want to be knocked out while that Dragon is out there threatening everyone.”
(( Not sure if Solar, The Advisor, or the Light Core has a scanner. So this is just I case. The dragon doesn't have eyes, he never did after the Darklings got him. He uses his super amplified sense of smell to see. Take that away, and he's completely blind.))
After engaging in battle for so long, FC managed to score two slashes to the Dragon's snout after the beast tried to eat him. The dragon howled in rage and pain as he reeled back. After a moment of recovery, the large dragon managed to regain a good enough portion of his vision to make out where FC was.
FC wanted to finish him, but this fight couldn't be fought alone. So he used that moment to retreat so he could regain his strength, and come up with a strategy with the information that he gained during the battle. There was also too much that could happen, and there were promises and friends that he had to come back to.
FC dashed down the side of the shield with the dragon chasing him. The dragon belched out a jet of flame that wooshed over FC's head as he ran. Finally, he made it through the entrance just as he came inches away from the dragon’s snapping mouth. He was safe. He looked behind him to see the dragon’s angry glare behind the shield.
The Darkling Dragon was furious. After belching out a raging stream of hot blue flames in absolute anger and frustration at the shield that FC was behind. The Darkling Dragon flew back up and landed back on top of the shield and started his onslaught once again. But this time he was hitting it with much more force and angry vigor than he was the first time. The fact that FC got away really ticked him off.
FC made his way to where the scent of his friends was leading him.
((These posts are getting kinda big since I have to count for FC until he gets back. I hope he does soon. Sorry if the posts are slow, but I have to think and take my time so I get it right in both RPs.
Also; I don't think Brush ever took off her bags so Light Core should be comming back within the next couple posts. ))

Solar fumbled with his words, "Eh... no? Yes! ... uh...," he straightened himself, "Well, I suppose not. Now I do. Of course, a worthy example as to why I may have not heard is this field itself. It may have a sound barrier too. Couldn't have heard it, right?"
((Got my laptop back. I suppose for a retcon, Geoffrey does have a sensor, but the force field would be blocking his signals.))

"Nevermind... I-If this b-barrier has managed to protect this city all the time th-thus far, I don't think anything can punch through," Sky reasoned. A part of her felt too naïve around Solar. Maybe because he didn't seem crazy. He was by far, one of the most sane ponies she knew. The others killed darklings for sport.
"Welp. We're in a city. This... 'Sanctuary'. I guess we could go exploring it and maybe see what it has to offer," Flame suggested boldly. In contrast to Sky, he was far more confident in what he said. Flame also appeared more calm, as if he didn't constantly think of the darklings killing ponies mercilessly.

Solar began to, unlikely, feel impatient as to just standing around. Despite being in a place that had... well, everything, he longed to be back where he would be more comfortable. Even if the grumpy, old Mr. Buttons was there, Solar wouldn't feel too out of place. He figured he should do something to keep this off his mind, and more especially, find out how this place ticks.
"So... where does this force field thing project itself?" Solar asked, "Perhaps I may be able see if it can withstand this... c-creature that's attacking."
#1694

Flame knew Grey had gone off with Brush, leaving them with noone to tell them about arcane magics. And although Sky had studied a bit of that sort of magic, she didn't have any knowledge of forcefields. "Grey pointed out it's near the center of the city. I think it's really close," Flame pointed out. "If that makes you feel safer, I guess it won't hurt to check it out." He gave off a big reassuring smile.
"I'll stick with you for now, since I still don't think we can just settle down here right away," Sky told, trotting up to Solar. "I'd assume we would have to talk to whoever's responsible first." Only after saying that did the unicorn mare wonder whether Flame and Solar were any good at combatting the darklings. She knew both of them weren't as eager as the others, though... she still wasn't completely sure.
#1695
Posted 29 May 2016 - 09:25 PM
"Sure. I think that would be good," Solar replied, continuing to walk to the center of the city, "I don't know what to think of this place. Feels too... unrealistic."
He looked at the generator. Immediately a thousand questions ran into his mind, ranging from how it was made to how it was powered. After observing it for a small amount of time, Solar called out to Sky, "Sky? What do you think of this place?"
#1696
Posted 30 May 2016 - 04:30 AM
"I think this place is lovely," Sky told sarcastically, not bothering to add any sugar to her words. "Look; even this forcefield must run out of power one way or another. A self-sustaining city is nearly impossible when all trade routes with the outside world has all been made a lot more dangerous."
"I think it's good somepony's having a safe life," Flame reasoned. "Having doubts?"
"Every city, even Canterlot, fell to the darkling invasion. Either Grey make things appear better than they are, or there's something else going on. Something which... doesn't make sense to me yet," Sky replied.
#1697
Posted 30 May 2016 - 05:00 PM
"I agree. I would personally want to leave as soon as possible," Solar said as he pulled his leg device off his leg with his magic, "Geoffrey, scan this device, will you? For future reference, of course."
"Of course, Solar. Although... I personally don't want to stay here much longer," the AI said, a little pony figure of himself appearing on the screen of the device, "This place seems illogical."
#1698
Posted 30 May 2016 - 06:10 PM
"Woah, that's new," Sky remarked, watching the device do its work.
"Will it take long?" Flame asked Geoffrey, eager to go check on what was happening around this 'city'. "And count me in on the illogical part." The unicorn stallion barely paid attention, though noticed the faint flicker in the barrier. Whatever battle had gone outside must've put a toll on the forcefield. Sooner or later, they'd need far more magic to hold back the darklings.

"Heh. Don't thank me. Thank Doctor Exelon, his creator," Solar chuckled, putting the device back on his leg.
"It's already finished. I would advise to get out of this place as soon as possible," Geoffrey explained, "Once the field breaks, there's nothing in between that giant creature and us."
Solar nodded. Thinking of Exelon, he now began to wonder why he created Geoffrey. That was a question he would ask the doctor later.
"I would assume alerting the others in our group, but what do you two think?" Solar asked Sky and Flame, "I don't want to really get into fight with that thing."
