Dark Cloud's insane journy

Why can't I kill somepony? Well for a couple if reasons, for one, there have been no murders in Equestria for over 70 years. Why would she ruin that? The second reason being, who would she  kill? She would need to have a particular target, and she knew nopony that she personally hated.

Reason #2 was about to be answered.

As Dark Cloud  entered the happily pink bakery, a small ding! sounded. The few ponies inside quickly glanced at her, then turned back to their sweets. Only a few ponies were inside the shop. There was a large gray stallion sitting alone, pigishly eating a huge chocolate cake. At the other side of the shop were three small fillies, sharing a pumpkin spice pie and chatting away with their mouths still full.

Dark Cloud walked to the front counter. A plump blue earth pony was chatting with a tall yellowish earth pony in the kitchen. Dark Cloud figured the polite thing to do was wait for them to finish their conversation, then she would take her order, and she could leave. Well Dark Cloud wanted to get out of that place as soon as possible, so she rung the bell up front. Mrs. Cakes immediately turned her attention to the unicorn in front of her.

"I'm sorry for the wait ma'am! I'll have Pinkie Pie take your order right away!"

Oh fuck no.

"Piiiiinkie Pie! Customer!" Mrs. Cakes chimed as she walked back into the kitchen.

Dark Cloud was not going to have a pleasant experience with this pony. From all she had heard about her, this pony is always happy and energetic. Some ponies even say she breaks the laws of physics on a daily basis just because she can. As she said before, Dark Cloud was happy, just in a whole different way. Maybe she can bolt out of the door before-

"Hiya! Welcome to the Sugar Cube Corner bakery! What can i get 'cha?"

Pinkie Pie was a mere inch away from Dark Cloud's face. Her grin seemed wider than physically possible,and her eyes as well. Her insanely poofy mane was riddled with all kinds of sweet smelling batters and icings. Dark Cloud studied the bakery's residents to see to if they were surprised at the pink pony's behavior. They weren't. Does she really act like this all the time? Apparently so.

Dark Cloud backed away a little.

"Uh, yea. Just one birthday cupcake pl-"

"IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY?" Pinkie pie leaned over the counter, once again less than an inch from Dark Cloud's face.

Dark Cloud was a little peeved at the invasion of personal space.

"...Yes"

Pinkie Pie pulled a brightly decorated canon out of seemingly nowhere.

"YAAAAY!! BIRTHDAY PARTY!" She pulled the cannons string, and hundreds of party decorations came shooting out of the inside. Everything from party hats, streamers, and even a fully made cake decorated the bakery.

The ponies inside grinned and started singing.

"Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear... dear..."

Nopony knew her name.

Pinkie pie looked puzzled.

" I didn't catch your name! That's funny because I knoweveryponyinPonyvilleandIdon'tknowyoubutyouliveheresoimalittleconfusedbutit'sokaybecause-

Pinkie Pie was talking in what seemed to be a never ending word full of other words. Dark Cloud raised her head from the ground. She was originally going to keep her head down to avoid the questions about her red eyes, but enough was enough.

Dark Cloud shoved a hoove in Pinkie's mouth, stopping her talking. She looked straight into the party pony, not saying anything for a short time, just staring. Her bright red all around eyes were locked on Pinkie Pie's blue ones. Pinkie Pie looked a little scared, and the ponies around were staring in disbelief. Everypony loved Pinkie. What was the problem?

Finally Dark Cloud spoke.

"Listen here you annoying pink horse, I came here to get a cupcake. How hard is that, To get a single cupcake? Well apparently you have absolutely NO SENSE WHATSOEVER, so I don't blame you for finding the SIMPLEST TASK HARD TO ACCOMPLISH. Do I LOOK like the type of pony that wants a birthday party? DO I?"

Pinkie shook her head no.

"That's what I thought. Now clean up this disgusting party before I clean it up with your face!"

Dark Cloud shoved Pinkie Pie to the floor, standing over her, practically seething with rage.

"And by the way, my name is Dark Cloud. Don't forget it." And with that, she left the bakery, not caring to look back at the pony sitting on the ground with a now flat mane, tears welling in her eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scootaloo and her friends were awestruck at what they just witnessed. Who could be that cruel to sweet, party loving Pinkie Pie? As soon as the mare left the bakery, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle ran to Pinkie's aid.

"Oh Pinkie Pie? Are ya okay? Now what kinda rude mare would ever go an' pull something like that on nice old you?"

Applebloom questioned as she wiped the tears off of a very sad Pinkie Pie.

"I know! Of all the nerve... Hey, where did Scoots go?"

All three ponies looked around the bakery. Scootaloo was nowhere to be seen.

SLAM

Everypony turned their attention to the door that just slammed. Guess they had their answer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scootaloo charged out of the bakery. It had been almost 3 years since they got their cutie marks, hers being a set of wheel with wings due to her speed on scooter and in the air. Since Rainbow Dash had taught her how to fly, it was her favorite thing to do. Now she was relying on that speed.

She jumped in the air and took flight searching for Dark Cloud. Not once had she ever been more angry than at this very moment. What right did she have, going around and bullying other ponies? And of all ponies, Pinkie Pie? Didn't she know how sensitive she was?

The weather was bad for flying, the raindrops weighing her down and making it hard to see. She flew up higher to get a better view of Ponyville's streets. She carefully checked every area she could see, until she saw a dark blue pony trotting at a slightly faster than normal pace. Scootaloo tilted her body to the left, pointing her head downward to get closer. Once she was right over Dark Cloud, she dove downward.

Scootaloo couldn't see straight, and was falling off course. She did her best to keep straight ahead, despite the biting wind that threatened to push her away from her target. Thunder crackled overhead, and lightning flashed disturbingly close. Scootaloo flapped her wings out, using them as a sort of umbrella. She lost some speed, but not enough for it to be safe. With the rain blocked, she could see that she was very close to Dark Cloud. She grinned, she would get revenge for Pinkie.

"EAT THIS, YOU MONSTER!"

With that, Dark Cloud turned upward. She saw Scootaloo coming straight at her, but could do nothing about what was going to happen. Scootaloo crashed into Dark Cloud, all the power in her hooves transferring into Dark Cloud's chest. The blow sent them both sprawling down the alley. Scootaloo felt something shatter in her front leg, and was unsure if it was in her hoove, or Dark Cloud's chest. Scootaloo stood up and flexed her hooves. She seemed to be okay. She them turned her attention to Dark Cloud, who was a crumpled pile in the middle of the alley. a small pool of blood was welling around her, and her leg was bent at an awkward angle. Scootaloo's blood ran cold as ice. She walked over to Dark Cloud.

"Oh N-No. I didn't mean to hurt you, I just wanted to teach you a lesson. No no no.."

Scootaloo started panicking at the though of her hurting anypony. Nopony deserved to be hurt this bad, not even if they were rude and cruel.

"Teach me a lesson? Why would you want to do that?"

A dark purple aura shimmered around Dark Cloud's broken leg, and it straightened back into a normal position. She unsteadily stood up and stared at the two bleeding hoove imprints on her chest, they were purple and blue, with blood seeping out of the outer rims. Dark Cloud looked back up at Scootaloo with a questioning look in her eyes, met with one of sudden realization.

"Ohhh. The thing at the bakery. Yea, i saw you sitting at a table in there, with some other teens."

She didn't seem the least bit mad at Scootaloo, considering she just broke her leg and punched her so hard that it bled. Dark Cloud scanned up and down Scootaloo's body.

"You alright kid?"

Scootaloo was taken back by the pony in front of her. She just healed herself from terrible injuries caused by her, and she was asking if she was alright?

"Uh, yea. I'm fine. I'm sorry about-" She pointed to the two hoove marks "-that."

"Yea, it's alright. I've had worse. Anyway, did you say something when you were about to crash? It didn't sound like a "look out" so was it something else?"

Scootaloo then remembered just why she had crashed into Dark Cloud. Her rage was immediately reignited.

"Yea. I did say something. I said, EAT IT YOU MONSTER. WHY WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO PINKIE? SHE'S SO SENSITIVE!"

Scootaloo was preparing for an apology from Dark Cloud, but got something so much worse. her face twisted into one of pure hate and anger. Something flashed in her eyes that was far past evil.

"...Monster? MONSTER? I'LL SHOW YOU A GOD DAMN MONSTER!"

Dark Cloud's horn lit up again, but this time in a deep red aura. The magic lifted Scootaloo about three feet in the air. the slammed her into the wall of the alley way. Pain shot up Scootaloo's entire right side, the force of the blow mixed with the small but deep scratches the brick walls made her flank and cheek burn intensely. Dark Cloud dropped her to the ground, the small cuts making tiny blood puddles on the teenager. Dark Cloud stood on top of Scootaloo and delivered a punch to the muzzle. Blood trickled down Scootaloo's nostril, leaving a small blood stain on Dark Cloud's hoove.

Dark Cloud sent one punch after another to Scootaloo's face as she tried to protect herself with her one free leg. That leg was punched just as hard until Scootaloo had to put it back by her side. Dark Cloud finally laid off after what seemed to be an hour. Scootaloo could taste the blood from a split lip welling in her mouth. Her left eye was swelled almost completely shut, so she used her right eye to look at her attacker.

Dark Cloud was grinning wildly at Scootaloo.

"Quite the monster I am." She said in a satisfactory tone. Dark Cloud trotted down the alley way, leaving Scootaloo alone. The last thing Scootaloo heard before blacking out was a high pitched laugh that only a mad mare could produce.
