The Demon's Within

Ravestorm yelled as he was teleported. He opened his eyes as he saw nothing but white.

"Um...what!?" Ravestorm yelled as he looked around, he could feel that he was on solid ground, but there was absolutely nothing around him, no ground, no sky, absolutely nothing was around him.

"Oh, so you made it alive." Ichi said as he walked up behind him, which caused immediate panic towards Ravestorm.

"Where the hell are we!? And what do you mean I made it here alive!? Did I have a chance that I could've died?!" Ravestorm yelled.

"No. I was just messing with you." Ichi said with his smile which made Ravestorm twitch a bit. Ravestorm sighed as he soon regained his composure.

"So, how do I learn my secret ability?" Ravestorm asked Ichi.

"Well its real simple, you don't." Ichi said.

"What?" Ravestorm said in disbelief.

"Why do you fight? The only reason a pony fights is for love, honor, or a love for battle. It's not for love because you left Trixie behind, what honor can you possibly achieve from this? And you don't like to fight. What is the point in fighting?" Ichi asked him with a serious attitude.

"I only left Trixie behind because if she got too close to me, it would bring her harm. If I take down the Dark Sun, Equestria will be in peace, and I can live my life with Trixie." Ravestorm said.

"Then why don't you tell her that?" Ichi asked.

"Because…I….I don't know why." Ravestorm said as he face-hoofed at his stupidness. "After training, I am going to see her again and tell her what is going on."

"Then you have a reason for fighting. I know exactly what your secret ability is, but I will not tell you until I know that you have the ability to fight." Ichi said.

"I will do anything." Ravestorm said.

"Okay, so here is how it's going to go down. You must complete three steps before I tell you your secret ability. You will need to know yourself more than anybody." Ichi said.

"Wha-"Ravestorm was saying as Ichi teleported out of sight. Ravestorm was in shock to see that he was left alone in the white void; he looked around and didn't know what to do.

"So that is what I look like." Ravestorm heard a voice, he turned around and couldn't believe what he was seeing, he actually saw himself. But there was something odd about him; the Sclera of the eye was black instead of white.

"What!?" Ravestorm yelled as the fake Ravestorm charged at him. Ravestorm tried to maneuver him but the fake Ravestorm had charged up a certain amount of dark energy in his hoof and slashed a bit of his side. He grunted in pain as he jumped back away from the fake Ravestorm.

"You have fast reflexes, so do I. Remember, I am you. So, you must find a way to defeat yourself, but can you? If you don't defeat me then I will kill you and take over your body. I will become the NEW RAVESTORM!" The fake Ravestorm yelled as he came running at him again.

"This is beyond strange!" Ravestorm yelled as he attempted to dodge again, but he was slashed once again in the right side, he was bleeding slightly but it wasn't too bad of a cut.

"How can I beat you if I don't know how to use magic!?" Ravestorm yelled as Ichi's voice came through like an echo.

"I see, well I guess I should just show you the ways of your magical abilities."

Thunder- You can use the thunder ability by closing your eyes and picturing thunder and concentrating. Here are some abilities.

Level 1: A beginner can use these quite easily.

Level 2: Must learn it from a master, or defeat an opponent with this ability in his arsenal.

Level 3: A master move, you can only learn this from intense training.

Thunder Blast – While closing your eyes and picturing thunder, imagine it surging towards your hoof and send it outwards. (1)

Thunder Wave- While closing your eyes and picturing thunder, imagine that the electrical energy swirling around your hoof and send it outwards, it will cause a small wave of energy to come out swirling towards your opponent. (1)

Thunder Distortion- When you are powerful enough; you can stop thunder from reaching you. (2)

Thunder Minions- You can summon small thunder like ponies from your body, they are small and very weak but when they touch your opponent, they will send a shockwave coursing through their body. (2)

Thunder Armor- You can summon an armor that surrounds your body, it is made out of pure thunder magic and can stop thunder and water from reaching you, however it will disintegrate with a touch of earth magic. (2)

"I shall teach you Ice and Fire later, practice your Thunder moves and defeat yourself." Ichi's voice faded away.

"Ha! Like you would ever be able to use those techniques. You are just a weak version of me!" The fake Ravestorm yelled as he charged at him once again.

"I guess I am going to have to use these! Thunder Blast!" Ravestorm yelled as he closed his eyes and tried his best to imagine thunder. "Come on, help me out here!" He yelled as he focus his concentration to his hoof, he could feel a slight shock form around his hoof and he pushed his hoof outwards as a medium sized blast of thunder came out of his hoof and was sent towards the fake Ravestorm.

He tried to dodge it as he turned to the side; however a small slit of the thunder had hit his side as the shock went all around his body. He screamed in agony as he fell to the ground. Ravestorm opened his eyes as he saw the fake Ravestorm lying on the ground in pain. He felt slightly bad for him as he began to walk towards him.

The fake Ravestorm smiled as he closed his eyes and sent a Thunder Blast towards Ravestorm, he managed to dodge it as he looked at the fake Ravestorm with anger as he decided to finish the fight.

"Thunder Wave!" He yelled as he closed his eyes and imagined a wave of energy flowing to his hoof, he opened his eyes as he threw it at the fake Ravestorm, it came out as a swirling wave of thunder as it hit the fake Ravestorm right into the chest, he was hit with multiple electrical surges as he collapsed to the ground. The fake Ravestorm faded away like an illusion.

Ravestorm huffed and huffed as Ichi appeared behind him. "That was a good job, you are quite impressive. You have a fast reaction speed along with quick thinking. You truly are a frightening pony when you want to be." Ichi said with a smile.

"What is my special ability?" Ravestorm asked a bit angry.

"Oh. You aren't ready to learn your special ability; I must train you just a bit longer. Bad news for you though, it is going to get harder from here on out." Ichi said.

"I'm ready. I will learn that special ability." Ravestorm said with a determined look on his face.

"Good, then come with me." Ichi said as he began to walk further into the white room, Ravestorm followed behind him.
