Howl At The Moon by Snicketbar
Chapter: 7
Black Dog Night
Muffled voices and shouts greeted the Princess of the Night as she awoke from her abrupt meeting with the balcony of spectators; mainly the platform they all stood on. Nightmare forced her eyes shut in pain as she let out a hiss; thought clenched teeth and began to run the back of her head with a hoof.
By the creator what was
Howl
A chill runs down the alicorns spine as she slowly turns towards the source of the noise and attempts to peer through the still thick cloud of dust. Nightmare Moons eyes shrink to the size of pin dots as a large mass can be seen within the dusty haze.
RRRAAAAAAWWWWW
The crowd goes deathly silent as the feral roar echoes throughout the stadium. Couples hold one another while fillies and colts cling to their parents sides. The air drastically cools; evident by the vapor rapidly escaping the still panting alicorn.
Mommy, why is it so cold? a young colt asks, but his question goes unanswered as the ground shakes as if something large has fallen nearby. A few ponies in the lower decks let out a various shrieks and yells as there jostled from their seats. Several of them colliding with one another and falling into a heap of quivering flesh.
Compatriots in the upper decks look over their seats as the still fallen princess and a now dispelling cloud.
My word, what in the name of Celestia was that? A snooty mustached unicorn noble inquires as he glances towards the arena below. Its as if The stallion is cut off as the ground is shaken once more; knocking his comically oversized monocle into his crystal gantlet.
Thats the third monocle his week. I must stop being so bloody terrified. The noble laments as he uses his magic to fish out the now ruined eyewear from his glass.
***
The ground shakes once more; much sooner than the last. Several crowd members begin shifting in their seats as their fears begin to rise. One patron goes to take a swing from his gold gauntlet, but stops as he notices the liquid inside ripple.
WHAT THE BUCK IS THAT! A mare shouts as a figure bursts from the cloud and starts charging toward the princess.
HRRRG-RRRRRGH!
***
The very creature that sent the great alicorn flying, is in her sights and barreling towards her at speed a being of that mass shouldnt possess. Normally, even something of this size wont be a match for the night princess. Shed vanquish it or at the very least subdue it, without much effort. That is, if the alicorn wasnt ready to ruin her armor in fright while a cold sliver of fear rolls down her back.
Nightmare Moon, Tyrant of the Night was scared. More scared that she has ever been in her long life. (Yes, it was she that occupied the moon during the banishment, not Luna.) While her time on the dissolvent rock gave her centuries to brood as her anger festered into something that would make the late king of the crystal realm envious.
None of that seem to matter as the source of the princesss fears was closing the distance between her and it was going at a pace that by all rights; shouldnt be possible. The alicorns body shook as her legs refused to obey and lift her from the sandy ground.
So absorbed in her fear, the princess of the night didnt even notice the massive claw raising above the creatures head till it caught a ray of the moon light, as the beast let out another feral roar.
Snapping from her stupor, the princess managed to coax her treacherous legs to cooperate long enough to move out the way of the oncoming attack.
Boom
The arenas outer wall took the hit meant for the alicorn. A cloud of white marble and rock almost rolled from the area as the creature removed its clawed paw from the area it made contact with.
Seeing the destruction of the retaining wall, Nightmare Moon desperately scrambled to her hooves and began to power up her horn; in fear of the creatures next strike.
W-who are?…W-what are you? What have you done with the hedgehog? The alicorn demands as she continued to channel magic into her horn.
Letting out a deep chuckle the creature turned to the princess and give her a toothy grin; insisting another shiver of fear from the princess; as well as a few ponies and even a griffin shuttered in his seat, as he watched from the front row. Not getting an answer, the alicorn lowered her head and began to pour more magic into her already severely charged horn. I asked you a question! What beast are you and what have you done with Sonic!
Dropping the smirk, the creature lets out a low growl and begins approaching the princess.
S-stay back! Nightmare orders with a shaky voice. W-we wont hesitate to bring ye down!
The princesss words seem to not matter to the beast, as it continues to approach the ebony alicorn; though now at a much greater speed.
I SAID STAY BACK! Nightmare Moon roars in her royal Canterlot voice. WELL STRIKE YOU DOWN WHERE YE STAND!
Again, promises from the princess dont seem to phase the approaching threat as it continues to close the gap between itself and Nightmare Moon; now only a few steps away from the alicorn.
Looming over the alicorn, the mysterious creatures stands several heads taller than princess. Its long dark fur sways in the gentle breeze, piercing green eyes stare back at her as it mouth opens and reveals a full set of pointed teeth. What little resolve the princess may have possessed it lost at that moment.
What replaces it is only one thought; fear. Fear of what this monster will do to her if it gets its large clawed hands on her. If it will simply tear her in half or smack her around a bit before finally finishing her off?
YOU HAVE CHOSEN YOUR FATE! The alicorn shouts as she unleashes the mass of power that had charging in her horn, at the creature; striking it square in its chest. Said creature lets out a low grunt as its hit with the blast, but remains unharmed.
Nightmares Moons widen as the monster before her is unfazed by the odiously powerful blast. GETGET AWAY FROM ME! The princess shouts as she unleashes another blast of magic from her horn. This one seems more powerful then the last, since it sends the creature back a few feet, but still unharmed.
What are you?
GRRRAAAAAAAHH!
