The Demon's Within

Ravestorm smiled as the guards flew over the land. He looked down to see that the guards were already over the meadows close to Ponyville, he sighed in relief as he looked up into the night sky. He saw the beauty of the night and smiled. He couldn't wait until he saw Trixie again, even though they saw each other not too long ago, he was always happy to see Trixie. The guards then began to shift as they flew down; they had made it to Ponyville. They leaned forward then leaned backwards as they made a smooth landing on the ground.

Ravestorm smiled in joy as he hopped over the carriage doors, he happily paid the guards a tip for an awesome landing. He told them to take the bags back to his place in Canterlot and they happily obliged. They took of flying as Ravestorm looked around town for Trixie.

After several minutes, Ravestorm still couldn't find Trixie. He sighed as he decided to go find somepony that could tell him the whereabouts of Trixie. He noticed that there were not many ponies out, which was good for him because he didn't want to have the same experience as what happened in Manehatten. He smiled as he saw a rainbow maned mare. He walked over to the pony and smiled.

"Hello, do you know where a pony named Trixie is?" Ravestorm asked politely.

"Yeah, that bitch took off." The rainbow mare said in response, which made Ravestorm sigh.

"I think you are talking about the wrong Trixie. I am looking for Trixie Lulamoon, the greatest magician in Equestria." Ravestorm said.

"No, I think you heard me right. Trixie left town and I wish she could've stayed so I could give that bitch a piece of my mind." The rainbow mare said.

"What makes her a bitch?" Ravestorm asked.

"She's a liar, a boastful one at that." She said.

"What did she lie about?" Ravestorm asked.

"She said she faced an Ursa Major, but when a Ursa Minor came to town, she ran off like a coward." She said.

"Well…she kind of thinks that." Ravestorm said.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"I kind of told her that she beat an Ursa Major, but it was really me." He said.

"…Explain." She said curious.

*Flashback*

Ravestorm was walking through the Canterlot fields and he looked forward. Trixie was running to him scared out of her mind, right behind her was a giant Ursa Major chasing her. Trixie ran behind Ravestorm in fear of the large beast, Ravestorm stood up to the large beast with anger in his eyes, he suddenly felt something cold and dark enter him. The Ursa Major swung its gigantic paw and picked up Trixie, who was behind Ravestorm. Ravestorm's eyes went white as his body developed a black glow. He grabbed the Ursa Major and took Trixie out of its paws, and then he picked up the large beast and slammed him to the ground. His eyes returned to his original color of blue. He never wanted to tell Trixie of the beast inside of him, so he lied to her that she defeated the beast instead of him.

*Flashback End*

"So, you honestly believe that I will believe that story? Until I see your power myself, I will never believe you." The rainbow mare said as Ravestorm nodded.

"Well, I kind of promised that I would protect Trixie, even if it costs me my life. So, I have to go find her now. But, if you want to see that power, I will come back and show you sometime." Ravestorm said as he began to walk away.

"I will keep you to that promise." The rainbow mare said.

"What is your name?" Ravestorm asked.

"My name is Rainbow Dash, and you better remember it." She said to him.

"My name is Ravestorm. See you later." Ravestorm said as he ran outside of Ponyville.

He ran through the fields looking for Trixie, he wanted to know if she was safe. He couldn't help but think of a song. He closed his eyes and began to think while running through the meadows.

Ravestorm was then somehow transported into a darkened hallway; he tried to find his way out, but the hallway had no door, which was causing him to hyperventilate as he continued to search for an exit.

(I live in a hallway with no doors and no rooms)

Just then Rave saw an open window at the end of the hallway which caused him to immediately run towards it; except he would never get close enough to jump out, for the window continued to move away from him.

(And under a windowsill they all were found.)

Just before he could reach then window; he fell hard onto a concrete ground which nearly knocked him out, slowly he got back up to his hooves and when he did he was face to face with a wooden door.

(A touch of concrete within a doorway)

Immediately he opened the door; only to see that it lead to nothing but darkness, he could not even his own breathing.

(Without a sound.)

Just then he felt himself being pushed from behind; forcing him threw the doorway and into the room, the door slammed shut behind him just before a small light turned on allowing him to see himself lying on a bed with an empty pill container in one of his hooves.

(Someone save me if you will and take away all these pills)

Rave watched in horror as he watched his form on the bed disappear into dust; the floor then disappeared beneath him causing him to fall, but he was quickly stopped by an entire ground made of nothing but sand.

(And please just save me if you can from my blasphemy in my wasteland)

Rave quickly got back up on his hooves; only to see that he was back in the meadow that he was in just a few minutes ago.

(How did I get here?)

He then brought his left fore hoof up to his head; trying to remember why he was in this meadow, and what had caused him to end up in the meadow.

(How did I get here? And what went wrong?)

He then felt a great wave of sadness enter his mind; just before his body started to fade.

(Couldn't handle forgiveness. Now I'm far beyond gone)

Rave then found himself staring at his own reflection in a huge void of darkness; everything seemed right in his reflection, but the only flaw was his eyes' that looked nothing more than pitch black holes that lead into his body.

(And I can hardly remember the look of my own eyes)

He then had a huge wave of anger enter his mind; causing him to bring up his right front hoof, and smash it into the mirror causing it to shatter.

(How could I love this a life so dishonest it made me compromise.)

Rave then found himself back in the same room where he saw himself lying on the bed; only this time he was lying on the bed, while a strange creature with demonic wings stood above him forcing him to swallow and entire container of pills.

(Someone save me if you will and take away all these pills)

He then watched in horror as his body started to turn to dust; which quickly surrounded him in nothing but darkness once more.

(And please just save me if you can from my blasphemy in my wasteland/short guitar solo)

Just then Rave felt his body submerged in water; he looked up to see the surface of the water glowing brightly causing him to swim upward, but the water kept him under.

(Jump in the water; Jump in with me)

Just then he felt himself being pulled out of the water by some unknown creature; once he was out he quickly found himself lying halfway across and alter banister.

(Jump on the alter)

Just then he felt his hind legs go weak causing him to fall backwards; only to be quickly wrapped by a pair of demonic wings.

(Lay down with me)

Rave then quickly turned around; coming face to face with a demonic creature, which he quickly started to punch.

(The hardest question to answer is WHY. WHY!)

He then threw one more punch making the demonic creature vanish; the only thing the creature left was the container of pills that he was forced to swallow, which he quickly destroyed with a swift hit from his hoof.

(Someone save me if you will and take away all these pills.)

Rave then finds himself back in the huge desert; only this time he had a more determined look on his face, and he seemed to be running a little faster.

(And please Just save me if you can from my blasphemy in my wasteland.)

The desert around him then starts to fade back into the meadow he was once in.

(Someone save me! Someone save me! Somebody save me! Somebody save me!)

"Please don't erase me!" He sang running throughout the meadow and mountains on the outside of Ponyville.

"RAVESTORM!" Ravestorm heard a familiar voice yell.

"Trixie?" He said as he felt something tackle his side. He looked down as he was sent to the ground. He looked up at the pony that tackled him, it was indeed Trixie. To his surprise, she was hugging him tightly around the waist.

"Ravestorm, oh thank Celestia it's you!" She said with tears streaming down her eyes, her sadness made Ravestorm feel extremely bad. He wanted to know what was wrong with Trixie; he never wanted to see her cry, not now. Not ever.

"Trixie, are you alright?" He asked wiping of a tear of her face.

"No, I'm not, the ponies of Ponyville are so inconsiderate" She said while having a firm, tight grip around his waist.

"Aw Trixie, it's alright, I'm still here for you." He said petting her silver mane. She looked up and looked into his eyes.

"But that's just it, you're always there for me, that is why...I..." She was saying.

"You what?" He asked waiting for her to speak up.

"I...love you." Trixie said as Ravestorm's eyes widened.

"You...love me?" He said with slight denial from the words that Trixie had just spoke, he had never thought that Trixie would say something like this, at least not to him.

"Yes, yes I do, you're the only one who has been by my side since the very beginning and that is why I love you." She said as she stopped hugging him and looked up into his eyes. She closed her eyes and leaned in, smoothly kissing him on the lips, he hesitated for a moment out of surprise, but he always knew that he was always in love with her, so he kissed back gently. They made out passionately for several minutes until they needed breathe, Trixie pulled back and looked into his eyes with a slight bit of saliva still on her lips.

"Ravestorm, promise me you will never ever leave me." She said to him as Ravestorm looked deep into her eyes.

"I promise Trixie," He said as he rested his head down on the soft ground, he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. Trixie smiled as she rested her head on his warm chest and fell asleep as well.
