"Well it helps not to hit your friends." I said, ducking the ball as it came around again. "Normally you would just swing it forward and let the ball fall on the target I guess." Rainbowdash turned around and faced the training dummy that I made, Rarity didn't like it however because it didn't have enough style. Rainbow swung the ball, making it land on the dummy's head, crushing it.
"Awesome!" She exclaimed. I turned around to see Rarity trying to fire her bow, she had the arrow on correctly but was pulling on the bow instead of the string.
"Rarity! You pull on the string!" I called over to her, she did that and accidentally sent an arrow flying towards me, I ducked and it whistled over my head. "Nice shot I guess." Twilight seemed to have her weapons mastered and was now reading a book, Fluttershy was using the flat part of the dagger blade to smack a rock. I walked over to her. "You don't want to do any killing do you?" I asked her, she shook her head. "Okay, I am just gonna tell you how to use that just in case kay?" She nodded. "Okay, the point is sharp, so you stab with it." She did this, then looked up at me.
"Umm, what next?" She asked.
"Well that's really it." I said with a shrug. I turned around to see Applejack kick the training dummy so hard the head flew off.
"Oops." She said, walking over and picking up the head, I laughed a little.
"Jeez Applejack, I don't think that you need the spikes, unless you want to climb walls or something." I chuckled, this made her laugh a little too. The only one who seemed to be having lots of fun learning how to kill things was Pinkie who was figuring out how to load her cannon. I unsheathed my sword and inspected the blade again, it was sharp enough to cut through a tree, if the tree was like a burnt toothpick but still a tree. As I held it in my hoof the gems seemed to light up, as if they were being powered by me. I was still looking at my blade when *BOOM!* a huge explosion behind me made me turn around, Pinkie was standing there covered in soot.
"I learned how to load my cannon." She giggled, I sighed and turned around again when *BOOM*, this one sounded less like an explosion, a few more came after it.
"Oh shit!" They all turned to me. "Take your weapons and run!" I sheathed my sword and booked it, running for my life. A quick glance behind me confirmed my suspicions, a huge bi-pedal creature appeared on the horizon, it was made out of metal and carried a huge pitch-black sword. I jumped and flapped my wings, turning around fully I saw that the girls were also running thank Celestia, but the metallic monster was still gaining on them. I grabbed my sword and flew at it, I stabbed it in the torso, but had trouble getting my sword out. The beast swatted me away, tearing me and my sword off of it. I got up again and felt a sharp jolt of pain in my side where I had been hit, I ignored that however and flew at the beast again,this time not even getting close, the flat of it's sword struck me in the chest, throwing me to the ground, my vision was blurred but I still saw Luna as she flew up and stabbed it with her sword, she dodged a few swipes of it's sword but was smacked aside by it's hoof-like thing on the end of it's arm. Rainbowdash flew up to defend the princess, and was immediately pounded literally into the ground. That did it, the switch was flipped, I could no longer feel the pain in my chest and side. "So the big metal beast wants to play? Hehehehehe, lets play." My voice grew higher again and my eyes became bloodshot and red. I flew at the monster, it tried to hit me away but I dodged it's every attack, I got in close and stabbed it repeatedly in the torso. I then flew up a little and started slashing away at it's face. "What did the sword say to your face? You're bucked now asshole! Get it? Oh you have no sense of humor." I then tried to cut it's head off completely but before I could swing I was hit by it's massive sword, sending me backwards in a spin. I righted my self and pointed my sword at it's chest, I could feel all of my rage being channeled into the sword, then the gems flashed black and a black lightning bolt shot out of the sword and hit the mechanical beast, sending it flying backwards. It tried to get up, but fell back and laid against the ground. "Aww our game is over? Oh well, maybe next time you'll survive longer, bye!" I turned to face the girls and Luna, my eyes and voice returning to normal. "And that, is how you kick a giant metal ting's ass." I declared.
"Sargast, did you just use magic?" Twilight asked, looking very surprised.
"I don't know."I said back. I looked at the sword, the gems were back to normal. Twilight took the sword from my hoof.
"These gems seem to be able to enhance magical abilities, so I think the sword played a huge role in what just happened." She observed.
"Yeah but I have no magical abilities to enhance." I said to her, and then she gasped.
"Sargast, remember back in Celestia's throne room?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I told you that you were outputting regeneration spells, what if that was some kind of spell that your body naturally outputs, but was amplified by the sword making it take full effect!" She said, looking very excited. She handed the sword back to me. "Try doing that again."
"Okay, i'll try." I pointed the sword at a boulder and concentrated on hate and anger, trying to replicate what I had done before. The sword started to spark a little but no lightning. I lost my concentration and the sparks went away, I sighed. "Nope."
"But the sword sparked, this could mean something big!" She said, Luna then flew over next to us.
"Sargast, I have something to tell you." She seemed a little depressed.
"Shoot."
"Well, how to begin. Okay, you know that bolt of energy, that was dark magic. There are only two types of ponies who can use dark magic, unicorns or alicorns who studied it," She paused for a second. "and necromancers." She looked up at me, my jaw went through the floor.
"W-W-What! No bucking way!" I was stunned, there was no way I was a necromancer, but wait, Deadriser always hinted that he knew me somehow, and that part of my life I couldn't remember. The never dying. I dropped the sword that was in my hoof, I stepped away from it like it was the cause of the plague. "No, there is no way."I muttered.
"Sargast you're a necromancer, but not an evil one. Sargast you are not like Deadriser at all, you only share abilities." Luna said to me.
"He used to be my master." I mumbled.
"What?" Luna asked me.
"He used to be my master." I said, louder. "There is a point of my life that I can't remember, from after Flip died to about five years afterwards." I said her. "Deadriser could've had me as an apprentice for that time, saw I was using my powers for good and got rid of me, erasing my memory." Luna nodded. "Hey can we not tell the rest of the girls about this, I don't want them being scared of me."
"I won't tell anypony." Luna said.
"Thank you." I turned around and saw that Twilight had fainted. I went to slap her to wake her up but Luna stopped me.
"What are you thinking?" She hissed.
"Right, Twilight, wake up." I said, lowering my hoof. She didn't wake up so I pulled out my water bottle and dumped it on her, she jumped up immediately.
"Who what when where why?" She yelled.
"Come on lets get going, we are really close to Deadriser's stronghold. I picked up my sword and sheathed it.
"What did Luna say to us again?" Twilight asked me.
"Nothing much." I lied, Twilight didn't buy it but she decided not to push any further. We got the rest of the girls together and started walking again, and by the end of the day I could see Deadriser's stronghold in the distance. "Tomorrow Deadriser, tomorrow." I whispered before lying down on the ground and falling asleep.
Author's Note
If you were wondering about Sargast's psycho mode, it is actually based on a don't do drugs commercial. He has RED BLOODSHOT eyes, and he goes NUTS. See, that is what happens when you do drugs, kinda.
