CrescentBlaze

Crescent Blaze was making his way through cloudsdale on his way home from the race track. The purple stallion had just come off a big win and was feeling pretty good when he heard a thump and a familiar voice. "Ohmygosh! I'm so sorry!" Crescent banked towards the sound and saw the two pegasi tangled in heap below deciding to help out an see if knew either of them. He landed a little roughly next to them reaching out a hoof to help. "Hey you two ok? I heard the crash and thought I'd lend a hoof." Crescent recognized the mare as soon as he helped her up. "Hey you! how have you been? Cloudsdale treating you alright as usual? He refrained from mentioning her name in front of the other pegasus, he knew how she got around fawning fans. He helped up the other pegasus as he waited for an answer. "You gonna be ok there friend?"

I laugh heartily at your sarcasm and will say that i am new and it is a pleasure

LOOK IM CONTRIBUTING TO THE COMMUNITY WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Crescent patted Draco on the back a few times. "Its alright there Drac. If you need to hurl just do it. You'll feel better once its out of the way. Dont worry you did great. Just be ready before he sends out the next batch." Crescent looked over at wilden and the rest of the group. this first wave may have been easy but there was no way Devastation had called them there for an easy slaughter. There was no doubt they were going to have to work together at some point, and Crescent felt the need to try and rally the loose group together. He took flight and hovered a few hooves away from Draco. "Alright! everypony...ermm...and wolf... gather round!"

Crescent wiped the green goop from his sword but kept it drawn. He looked up at Draco. "How ya holdin up big guy? That wasnt too bad for your first fight. that was your first fight i assume, yes?

sorry dude Im not gonna speak for the staff but I think they will share my opinion that there is no evidence in the show to suggest this is possible in canon... as rad as it may be I would save yourself the grief and label it crossovers like all the other dragon ponies...

"Fantastic Draco! Keep it up!" Crescent hollered the encouragement as he swiftly cleaved the head off another spider and bucked another behind him onto its back, folowing up with a stab to its exposed abdomen. Its green goopy guts spattered his face as he removed his sword from the exo-skeletal sheath. Crescent spared a glace around, this was hardly a challenge. Giant spiders? what cave in equestria didnt have those? He hadnt even begun to focus yet. He hoped things didnt get too taxing though, he didnt have to go into his hyper concentration mode as he called it. Last time that had happened he had lost it a bit...He took position by Draco's left side again deciding to wait for the enemies to come to him, it would be better to conserve his energy for the harder challenges.

Crescent took off immediately and drew Night Fire. Quick as lightning he drove the blade into the mark on the back of the closest spider and then landed by Draco looking to team up his speed and agility with his brute strength.

Crescent held the amazing broadsword in his hoof, it was big for his taste and seemed more suited to two hooves, but the amazing quality was unarguable. He closely examined the razor sharp obsidian edge reinforced with dragon bone and found it to be the only sword he had seen so far who's edge rivaled his own blade Night Fire, a magic resistant falchion made of sky steel. He held the weapon by the handle with his hoof and gave it a few swings testing the balance. The dragon bone gave the sword an unprecedented lightness and the balance was as close to perfect as he had seen. He examined the runes next, he only recognized a few, but from what he could tell they were wards that allowed the blade to be resistant to most magics as his own was and additionally to protect the blade's durability so it would not need to be sharpened as often as usual. He held the blade with admiration whoever made this weapon was one of the most masterful smiths to ever grace the land of equestria if the sword was even from this world. He looked at the undead Griffin ruler and held the weapon for him to take it back. "It is as fine a weapon as I've ever laid eyes on. I would like you to hold on to it until I complete this ordeal. I could never use a blade i havent familiarized myself with in battle. I would need time to perfect my technique with such a different sword than my own." Crescent saw the others heading down to the arena. "Shall we? oh actually i have one more question, well two actually. well no three. Im curious about the blade's history. I havent seen one as glorious in actual combat capability as my own, Night Fire, in all of equestria. I would very much like to know it's name, and who made it and how." He spoke as he made his way to the descending corridor

Crescent looked at the sword from afar and could tell no more about it from there other tan it was very flashy yet sinister and dark in its appearance. I made him think of a moonlit needle dipped in blood. He had to examine it before he made any deals though, a sword was a work of detail, and while it appeared quite deadly Crescent's instincts told him he had to be sure. He approached the Monarch of madness at his throne. "Would you mind if I took a closer look? I'd like to appraise the blade before I make any deals."

Crescent went on guard as the sizable creature stood face to face with him again. "I just want a black professional flight suit with lightning proof fabric, and drag reduction, with some matching tinted goggles, instead of the land. the bits are still fine though." He thought for another moment. "And a unique sword to add to my collection. If that isnt asking too much. maybe that instead of the bit if I really like what you have to offer"

"Hey you still have yet to sweeten the deal there Monarch. I thought we all made it pretty clear we're not going anywhere until we get an alternative prize" Crescent stood where he was. Land? he had no use for land he was a racer, and he really didnt feel like keeping stock of something away from cloudsdale. He thought for a moment of what he might want if the Monster was so inclined as to ask, and thought that a professional grade racing suit with all the works, lightning protection, friction resistance, and some matching tinted goggles would be fine, He didnt really need anything too expensive other than that.

"You can call me Crescent, or Cress is fine." He absentmindedly hoofed the hilt of his sword. He was getting impatient with the formalities.

The wolf's reaction had put Crescent on edge more than ever, and he closed his eyes and shook his head to draco as if to say I dont think he wants your help. He wasnt much for killing intelligent creatures but if any of these characters gave him and his new buddy any real trouble he wouldnt hesitate to start slicing. And he did consider draco his "buddy" at this point. The shy creature had brought out the protector in him and, while dragon ponies were known to be solitary and able to handle themselves, Crescent had subconsciously decided to take responsibility for his well being. He stuck close to the large green scaly pony and turned his attention to Devastation. Hearing Wilden's comment perked his ears as he hadnt really thought much of the plain prize. "Yeah what am I supposed to do with land? What else ya got?"

"tell me about it, I've dealt with my fair share of bullies, The name's Crescent Blaze, Draco, and if i might add a speck of advice. You should never forget what you are the rest of Equestria will not. Wear it like armor and it can never be used to hurt you. I take a lot of pride in my heritage and that has always gotten me though tough situations. of course a lifetime of training in swordplay helps too... anyway I guess i'll ask whats on all our minds at this point. what brings you here? Crescent lowered his guard a bit, if he could ally himself with this dragon pony he would have a better chance of surviving the monsters below the palace. Even if this one was timid Crescent had heard tell that dragon ponies were renowned instinctual fighters.

"WOAH COOL! Your part dragon! Thats awesome! Why would you wanna hide being a dragon pony? You know there are more of you right?" Crescent lighted down and examined the exotic pony at closer range. He had heard of dragon ponies but never saw one up close before. He got a good look before returning the cloak to its owner. "Why would you hide this? Its nothing to be ashamed of really. Sorry to make you so upset though, my apologies. Friends? "

Crescent heard the pony's retort and thought, oh please "Fair enough." he spoke flatly Crescent lifted off next to the pony whipping the cloak off as he flew up above him.

Crescent spoke up for the first time in a while feeling the need to speak. Everything going on had been such a spectacle that he had been content to just wait and watch. When the wolf entered Crescent though he was the only one who noticed and took on a higher guard but it appeared the creature was but another guest. But this new pony something was clearly off he could tell the moment he saw him, Crescent had a bit off sixth sense when it came to ponies keeping secret from him, and Crescent didnt like things being kept from him. His suspicions were confirmed with Devastation's comment. His impulsiveness took hold of him and he flitted over to the robed pony and looked him square in the eye with his tell me the truth or i'll knock your block off gaze. "Your clearly saying you arent what you appear to be. We all know it now, so there is no reason to hide it. Besides If you dont show us then how do I know your trustworthy enough to work with?" He put a hoof on his sword to emphasize the seriousness of his accusation

((we're still waiting on quick right?))

Crescent Held the wolf at sword point as Runner struggled to keep it grappled. This was certainly a dilemma. He didnt want to kill it but it had attacked them. Then on the other hoof it was probably just hungry like everyone else, and trying to stay alive. If this creature was intelligent it might be worth a shot trying to communicate with. First things first, he needed to minimize risk he didnt want this young colt to get hurt. "Colt, go wait at camp, and dont touch anything. I dont know if you can understand me, wolf, but I dont wanna have to kill you. I would say you could join us but we have no meat other than the stuff on our bones." Crescent stood there holding the sword in the wolf's face waiting for a response.

Crescent laid the peach at the colt's feet and waited for a response. there was a slight breeze, the first he'd felt all day in this dead wasteland. There was something on it, a scent, though Crescent couldnt make out what it was exactly he thought it might be an animal of some kind maybe. something that could help! Runner was the survivalist though and it would be safer to get his confirmation before running after strange smells.] "Hey kid our camp is right around the corner. Feel free to head back there. HEY SCOUT ITS ALRIGHT HE'S FRIENDLY!" He sniffed the air again trying to figure out what it was that carried the small odor. "Hey runner. you smell that?" OOC: LOL ZACK YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Yeah leave it here and get out your knife we have a visitor hiding over by that collapsed wall. you take the far side and wait for me to show myself on the near one. Once you hear me talking step around the corner and stay silent. Just be there to block the path, if he tries anything funny. " Crescent drew his blade and silently flew over to the corner of the debris lighting down quietly. He waited for Runner to move into position before making his move. Crescent took a deep breath and went into hyper focus mode clearing his mind of everything but the situation. He whipped around the corner sword pointed out. He saw the young black pony holding a tin box of what appeared to be food that had long since expired. "Stay where you are! I dont want to fight but I will if I must!"

Crescent heard Runner's sound off While he was surveying the land for anything suspicious, when a flicker of movement by one of the scorched remnants of a building caught his eye. "That's great runner Now find what we need and hurry back I need you help me check something out." Crescent heard Scout's comments about the quarry nodding i approval. "We'll check it out later. right now we may have company. I need you to stay here and keep a sharp eye on all of our supplies while me and Runner go check it out. Here." He handed her the rock he used to hammer in the posts. "Stay hidden behind the rocks and if anypony shows up knock them out with this. There are sure to be more than a few desperate souls out here that want what we have." Crescent put a hoof on his sword and waited for Runner to return with whatever he found so they could check out the disturbance.
