THE SUN
>ding
FIGHT!
>>12586
"And what makes you think that this will save all of time!?"
>charge up horn
"Who is to say we will even return to our own time AFTERWARDS!?
>blind Radiant with a great ball of light
Rolled 5 = 5
>>12859
Absorb the light, and charge my Sun Plate to radiate an even lighter one, to blind him instead.
"You can't blind the Sun!"
"Give up, friend. I wish you no harm!"
Rolled 9 = 9
>>12859
>>12861
Aenoi's light is drowned out by the fury of the sun itself manifesting in Radiant. He cannot see jack shit right now.
>>12865
I stand still.
"You are not lost, as Time and Space aren't lost either. It can still be saved, just as you. Stop this madness."
Rolled 2 = 2
>>12869
After getting hit in the shoulderplate, step out of the way calmly while he is hitting the air.
"Why are you doing this? You have no good reason!"
>>12873
"We're at the end of it all, we'll have passed the edge of existence and defeated the final threat before us. What then? Do those of us who live simply go back to what is 'normal' for us? You should know that if this is happening now, then the world has already lost. That no one, not even us could've defeated this new monster in its own time"
>listen to where Radiant is
Rolled 4 = 4
>>12876
"We defeat this final evil, and then the Timewarden will be able to send us back in time to fix everything we need."
After a moment of hesitation.
"Well, send you back. I can no longer go back to our time. But you can! And you will, and then you will live a long life and prosper!"
Try to disarm Aenoi.
Rolled 1 = 1
>>12878
"Starswirl in his own perverse certainty killed the one chance in ensuring any of us could return alive, or return at all! He says 'he's seen every possible -action and reaction' but why did he not see this coming? All that time has made him lazy and now we're all paying the price.. hey!"
>knock Radiant to the ground
Rolled 4 = 4
>>12882
As Radiant tries grabbing the weapon of Aenoi, he quickly jumps, suprising her and forcing her on the ground.
"I still don't wish to fight you."
Try to regain footing.
Rolled 7 = 7
>>12891
>the effects of blinding slowly wearing off, Aenoi turns to face the sound of clinking armor. Seeing the blurred vision of Radiant squaring off again
"I can't see you but with all that armor on I wouldn't need to. I came here to fight you, NOW FIGHT!"
>>12892
"Then I'm afraid you came here for nothing. You are not a foe. I will not fight you."
Try to keep distance, and charge up the Sun Pendant to block the next incoming attack.
Rolled 9 = 9
>>12893
"I bed you'd fight CELESTIA if she asked you to!"
>charge Ratiant with shield raised
Rolled 7 = 7
>>12895
The Sun Pendant shines up brightly as it dischargesHey, it was a 9 after all, sending Aenoi flying back and landing on his flanks.
Radiant's tone changes from calm from dangerously threatening.
"Don't you dare speak more of Her right now. I give you this one last chance. Stop this madness at once."
Rolled 10 = 10
>>12900
>trembling from the recoil, Aenoi focuses his eyes on the smoking around him. Only realizing to see that they're what remains of his once great shield.
"madness…"
>roll to get up
"what we're in is madness.. what we're doing is madness. what WE're doing, is not madness.
now fight…
me"
Rolled 9 = 9
>>12914
"You are beating a dead tree, Aenoi. I already told you, I'm not going to fight you. You know what could I do, and what would I do."
Cast Aura of Protection on myself.
Rolled 10 = 10
>>12923
"A dead tree will eventually fall."
>charge but get slammed to the ground
"ugh…. all of a sudden you're acting like the Princess herself. use that damn hammer why don't you?"
>>12928
Not with rage, but cold precision, use my Wings of Light to jump next to him, and use my rear legs to kick him in his sides as hard as I can.
"I SAID YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT HER!"
Rolled 3 = 3
>>12933
>one connects while the other cracks the marble floor below.
>coughing blood and possibly an organ, Aenoi looks up
"precious precious
princccceeeeeessssssssssss~"
>>12940
Radiant trots up to him slowly, glaring daggers, and says as tears form in her eyes.
"I SAID SHUT UP WHILE YOU STILL BREATHE!"
She rears up to strike down with bare hooves, leaving herself open for a counterattack.
Rolled 4 = 4
>>12944
"SHUT UUUUP!"
Blinded by rage, Radiant strikes her hooves down on the marble floors, shattering them to pieces just inches away from Aenoi.
Rolled 7 = 7
>>12951
Still staring at the smashed floor, tears rolling down her cheeks, she starts to speak.
"I am the Sun. I must be better… for Her…
Get out of my sight. Get out while you still can. I won't give you this opportunity again. But don't think you will slip out of responsibility with this. You will go to the Armory. You will get new weapons and armor, and then you will show us, and help us defeat whatever we need to defeat. If you flee, I WILL find you and bring down the Rage of the Sun on you. You can still earn your redemtion. Go, before I change my mind. Meet us in the Library."
I turn my back to him, and try to calm down.
>>12958
>after a few seconds, Aenoi struggles to get up. Bruised and battered but standing.
"It looks like I will then."
>limping, and with large parts of what was left of the glinting unicorn armor still hanging on, Aenoi turns back and says one last thing.
"I will not fail you."
>and goes to the armory
>>12967
You better prepare for I will claim at least one post before Starswirl will speak for a little speech to explain the situation.
