Song's Revenge

Last time on Fallen Empire: Blood Tears

"C'mon Sweet, hurry up, we got a lot of ground to cover!"

"What happens now Comet?"

Song Comet opened his eyes, seeing a pony figure standing over him. The pony was a dark blue, black mane, and a dismembered pony head as his cutie mark.

"You ready to continue?"

"Whatever is coming I'm with you brother,"

"What happened to your old wings?"

"This, I just got a while back, Tia," NightFall's wings brushed against Princess Celestia's coat.

It occurred to Celestia, maybe he isn't evil . . .

What do you think is next Song?" he asked scared slightly.

Comet bit his lip, they've heard of that murderer as well. "I-I don't know Sweet," he rubbed the back of his mane.

"Oh," Sweet Song sighed lightly.

It occurred to the filly she has never been this scared in her life. She sighed as she looked to her hooves. Comet looked back at the dragging behind Sweet Song. "C'mon Sweet, we need to get there before sundown eh, I think the sun lowered," he had no idea the time; the Forest of Misery it messes with watches you see.

"I'm coming brother," said Sweet Song from afar catching up to her elder brother.

Sweet Song she wasn't as scared on the outside. She keeps herself tough in front of her brother no matter what. It's her desire - she gets little respect however - Sweet saw how her brother was having some issues; the dream really getting to him scared for his life. He kept dragging on though, revenge still clouding his mind in desire to stick his sword straight through the Dream Stallion's chest, taking whatever heart he can and stomp on it, then lighting it on fire! Sweet, she's just there because she was told to.

Song Comet rubbed her coat gently as he walked. "Don't worry Sweet, we'll get him, don't worry about that," Song assured his younger sister. A sudden wave of dizziness came over both ponies as they walked. The two decided it best to take a breather and catch their breath, soon however falling asleep.

Meanwhile

Celestia tried to struggle her way out of the shadow of herself, still failing as the shadow clenched her waist tightly. "I wouldn't try it Tia, it'll only get tighter," NightFall reminded her as she struggled.

"Shut it Fall!" she hissed soon following her statement a cough.

NightFall rolled his crimson red eyes. "When will you learn Tia? I am better than you, in every way!" he laughed squeezing the mare tightly.

Celestia remembered something she had forgotten until now. "I remember that song, do you?" she hates that song he sang.

"Do I, the one who sang it remember?" he laughed in which he began singing.

NightFall: What's a matter Tia? Do you not see what I see? To me it's as clear as night and day!

Celestia: Why would you do that?

NightFall: I deserve better, I deserve more than you could ever make.

Celestia: That could be wrong as for what I see

NightFall: Be quiet and just go away, I'll not bother you, ever again. That is if you keep your mouth shut!

Celestia: I can't so that, the damage has been done. I must tell every-pony of the pony.

NightFall: Oh poor Tia, you don't have to do that keep your mouth shut and peace it'll be.

Song woke up another nightmare, but this one was different. He saw another pony standing over him, as before. The pony hushed him and told him three simple words: "Go, to, sleep," Song jumped up picking up his sister waking up from his hasty grab.

"Huh, Song Comet, wh-what a matter?" she asked rubbing her eyes. Suddenly he saw behind the tree the same tall, pale white coated pony.

The pony: Welcome dear ponies, to the end of your road, just lay down here and I'll make it painless.

Song Comet: Never will we do as told by the likes of you. That smile is dead.

The pony: Ignore it for a second; take this time to rest . . . your head. Give it another thought; let me do what I do best!

Sweet Song: Get away from us you big meanie! Go find another pony to bother.

The pony: Hush little one, I'm here for your brother, you'll wait your turn.

Song Comet: Leave her out of it. It's me you want.

The pony: True, but I think I'll make an acceptation, my bloodlust rising to the sky.

Song Comet: What do you want who do you work for and who are you?

The pony: My name is Jeff, I work for NightFall, and what I want is simple: go to sleep.

Song Comet: No we won't it'll be you go to the grave where you belong!

NightFall: Hush little Tia, don't say a thing, become my little Princess, hush little Tia, never say a word ‘bout this . . . ever.

Celestia: I lost my dearest father, you smothered him in his dreams, and you killed my mother in the re-al-ity!

NightFall: Tell me you hate me and I'll be sad, just stay in your quiet state, done with this, I'll be on my way, I'll see you later, Tia.

Jeff: Shh, hush I'll make it all better, if you sound off, a nightmare you will have, be quiet and be forgotten!

Sweet Song: We will never do as told by the likes of you! *Clash*

Song Comet clenched his eyes shut as the sound went off. He slowly opened them. Sweet Song, she won, the pony lay on the ground defeated and bleeding out. he pony chuckled manically. "Goodnight, every-pony, sweet dreams," his eyes fell shut soon after.

Song Comet looked to the edge of the forest; they're almost to the castle. "I can see it Sweet Song!" he smiled happily.

Sweet took no time in running. Song Comet all the same in running.

The two ran to the castle bursting through the door. They saw the swords in the dead center of the room. Song smiled "This is east isn't it Sweet?" with out letting her respond he went full gallop stopped by the Dream Stallion himself.

"What, you thought I wasn't going to try and stop you myself?" he chuckled crazily.

Comet's eyes narrowed as his target was set; the Elemental Swords. He galloped toward the swords just behind the stallion.

"Honestly, I am excited for this," with that he as normal swung his horn his magic glowing the dark black magic he has. His red eyes fixated on Song Comet. Song Comet ducked under the Dream Stallion.

"Shouldn't have waved high NightFall," he said the swords in his hooves. The swords weren't working however.

NightFall took the opportunity to lunge at Song Comet. Song Comet's chest split open by NightFall's jagged horn blood dripped from his horn.

Sweet Song's jaw dropped as she ran to hide. NightFall looked to where Sweet Song hid. She held her breath as the stallion walked right past her. She moved column to column until she got to where Song Comet's lays dead - a big gap to show. - She hugged the dead body, and then she clenched the swords in her magic. NightFall looked to the mare; the swords glowing as they were held in her magic. "What! It's working!" he went full gallop, stopped by a force of magic. The swords combined into one; the Sword of Light. Sweet Song narrowed her eyes as she rushed to him sword in her magic firmly. Suddenly as the sword came close to NightFall a beam of light blinded both ponies.

The blindness faded slowly. Sweet Song saw nothing more than a tall, black and white alicorn normal wings, her eyes, different, now their dark purple. Princess Celestia appeared next to the stallion. The stallion looked to Celestia; suddenly wrapping his hooves around the mare. "I am so, so sorry, I-I don't know what came over me! I-I-I missed my younger sister!" he hugged Celestia crying along with him.

"I missed you too," Celestia said serenely.

Soon the ponies were back in town, a party for the oldest member of the royal siblings. He knew what he'd done was wrong. Hell, he can't truly remember everything that happened. He approached Sweet Song. "I-I-I'm sorry for your loss, I, Prince NightFall, shall take you, Sweet Song, under my wing," he smirked embracing the filly like a mother or father. A smile came across the sun princess' face. "Maybe I should get an apprentice," she admitted to herself pondering the idea.
