Chapters It was exactly a year after Blades death Twilight was standing at his gravestone it was the nicest gravestone in the cemetery it's writing was lined with gems. It said his name and his favorite quote which was "Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong." He never really said that she thought to herself. Twilight went to his gravestone everyday hoping that one day he would rise from the ground. Although she knew his body was never recovered it disappeared the day that he died Celestia probably buried him in Canterlot. She spent her time reading books about death and Resurrection but she didn't know where his body was and she couldn't locate it either. She knew he was gone for good but she didn't want to believe it he will come back my love will save him she thought. Still at his grave everytime she came there she would cast the resurrect spell it never worked even though it was supposed to locate him when she cast it on his gravestone. It just back fired it would reflect back at her and she would drop to the ground panting in exhaustion. She walked home still sad why do I still go to his grave i miss him so much it doesn't help me she thought. She went inside to see Spike waiting there.
"Hey Twilight."
She sighed "Hey Spike what do you need."
"N-nothing i just want to know if there's anything i can do to cheer you up."
"No there is nothing you can do" She walked upstairs and laid down putting her face into her pillow and she cried. I killed him it was all my fault. She rolled over and stopped crying she laid her head down and tried to sleep. She heard a very soft voice she couldn't make out the words it was like a whisper in her ear. She lay there listening trying to figure out what it was saying. She still couldn't tell she opened her eyes and looked she saw Blade standing there she jumped off the bed and went to hug him. She reached out and what she thought was Blade exploded into a white smoke.
"Ha ha ha ha ha I am Death you cannot rely on the past Twilight. Your precious Blade is gone he isn't even in my domain he disappeared entirely he can't save you now prepare yourself because your time is coming. Soon."
She sat there and thought about what that could mean at least if i die i might be with Blade again. She was so sad that Blade wasn't actually there how could death trick me like that. One of the assassins walked in to the room.
"Sorry to interrupt you Twilight but i have something for you."
"What could you possibly have for me."
"We recovered some of Blades stuff." He handed her the sword Blade got from Ezio and the armor he had when he first came to Ponyville.
"Thank you" she took the sword and armor and put it in the corner where all Blades stuff was. The assassin left and she slowly fell asleep. The next day she woke up to all her friends in her room.
"You need to come with us sugercube i'm tired of seein you sad we all are" said Applejack with Lowell right next to her.
"Yeah i mean if that's ok with you" muttered Fluttershy.
"Really Fluttershy be assertive" yelled Rainbow Dash in the background.
"Guys it's great that your all here but i don't want to go anywhere."
"But i made you elegant clothes" said Rarity as she held up a new dress.
"We can get you a cake" said Pinkie Pie.
"Can you please leave i don't want to go anywhere i'm sad."
"Alright your coming with us whether you like it or not" said applejack as she picked up Twilight. She took Twilight to the barn and told her to open it. Twilight opened the door to see everypony in front of her.
"Happy birthday" everypony yelled out.
Twilight had forgotten it was her birthday but she still wanted to go back home and lay in the darkness of her room. She stayed only because her friends were there she didn't talk to anyone she sat there eating her cake. Yeah the stallion i loved died the day before my birthday that's great she thought. When she was done with her cake she walked out of the barn and went home. Everypony looked at her as she left they new she was said she was living life in the dark and everpony wondered if she would be able to get out of this. She got home and laid on the bed still feeling said she looked around the room she focused on Blades stuff i wonder what's in the present Celestia gave him. She did tell me to open it but i don't think i should what if it's something bad. She stared at it until she got so tired she passed out she woke up later in the night to see that the box was rumbling. It also has a faint glow to it that's it i'm opening it. She walked over and opened the box is this a joke there is another box in here she opened that box and pulled out a wrapped letter. She closed the box and opened the letter. She read it out loud to herself.
Dear Princess Celestia,
This is most likely going to be my last letter I am crushed under a house one of the builders sabotaged the rebuild. The building was about to crush Twilight so i had to push her out of the way i could not live with myself if she died. I just hope she knows even if i die i will always love her and my spirit will protect her. I can barely breathe i fear that all my bones have been broken if i do survive it will take forever for me to do anything again. If you receive this letter tell Twilight to leave my sword at my grave for me then my spirit can defend her. I have my armor on but i don't think it will save me. Goodbye Princess and tell my love Twilight goodbye for me.
Blade
She must have never gotten this letter she never came to me about this she took Blades sword and walked outside. I didn't realize how much he loved me i'm so lucky at least i know his spirit is watching me. She got to the cemetery and placed his sword down on the gravestone here you go my love. She walked back to her house once she got inside she sat on the bed Blade if you can hear me I will always love you. She fell back against the bed and got straight to sleep.
It was morning Twilight slowly woke up she was feeling very different she looked down at herself "what the". She looked at herself closely she had hands and feet "what happened to me" she said aloud. She stood up and attempted to walk. She got ready to go downstairs when she fell flat on her face and rolled down the stairs. Ow she thought that hurt she rubbed her forehead which was dripping blood. She opened the door and walked outside still struggling to walk on her two feet. Looking around the town she saw that everyone was a human just like her. "What happened here seriously this is crazy." She walked through the town when she heard something faint like a whisper she couldn't tell what the words were so she walked away. I wonder if Canterlot is like this too she thought. She teleported to Canterlot to see what was going on. She walked to the castle and went inside.
"Princess what is going on here?" said Twilight quizically.
"What do you mean my faithful student?"
This must be another dimension or something she thought "Nevermind Princess i'll be going now."
"Wait before you go Glistening Blade needs you."
"Wait a minute Blade is dead he got cru." she stopped herself if this is another dimension maybe he actually never died i wonder how i got here though.
"What are you talking about Twilight? He is right here." Blade entered the room smiling at Twilight.
"There's my beautiful girlfriend" he said walking over to Twilight.
"What did you need to see me for Blade?"
"Twilight do you not remember what i told you earlier?"
"When did you tell me whatever this is about?"
"This morning before i left to come here."
"Oh well sorry i don't remember."
"Well just meet me back at Ponyville in about an hour."
"Where?"
"Our house."
Blade walked away. Twilight left the castle and teleported to her house. What could we possibly be doing later she thought. Maybe he is going to take me out somewhere that would be nice. She felt a strange darkness take a hold of her for a moment. She felt a strong pain then it stopped and she was fine. What just happened she thought to herself. She waited another 45 minutes and Blade walked in.
"Twilight i'm home where are you?"
"I'm coming one minute" she met Blade downstairs.
"Ok Twilight ready to go."
"Yeah i'm ready where are we going though?"
"Just follow me."
They walked outside together. Blade walked into the town and towards a building "We shall take to the rooftops." He ran up the wall and pulled himself up. "Twilight now do what i did." She ran at the wall and jumped Blade reached out his hand and helped her up.
"Why are we on the rooftop?" Asked Twilight as she looked around.
"Just follow me ok now no more questions."
"Alright sorry."
Blade jumped across to another rooftop. Twilight followed she jumped and barely made it across. She followed Blade across the roof he went up to a window and opened it quietly. He stepped up and sat on the windowsill trying to be quiet as possible. Twilight crept up behind him. "This is the man we must kill" he said as he looked over at Twilight.
"Were going to kill him.?"
"Yes we are he killed numerous people in town i saw it myself now can you use your magic to handcuff him?"
Twilight went inside the house then used her magic and cuffs appeared around his hands Blade jumped down into the house. He grabbed the man and threw him into the door of the house it was wooden so it shattered from the force of the throw. "Twilight would you like to do the honors and kill him?"
She looked at the man on the ground who was now bleeding "I don't know."
Blade handed Twilight the sword "I think you can handle it."
She grasped the sword in her right hand.
"Careful so you don't hurt yourself that sword is extremely sharp."
She lifted the sword above the mans head ready to cut it off. But when she swung time slowed and she felt the strange darkness control her. She lost control and slashed at Blade cutting his throat.
"Twilight why?" He said as he dropped to the floor next to the bleeding man. He was still alive but that would only last a few minutes or seconds.
Twilight raised the sword again still not in control and impaled him through his chest killing him she dragged the blade slicing him in half. The darkness left her body and the sword dropped from her hand. She dropped down crying and the bloody man next to her stood up the handcuffs where gone now. He reached out for the sword and grabbed a hold of it. Twilight was crying over Blades body when the man called out "Over here." She looked over at him he raised the sword and hit her in the face with the pommel and she awoke covered in sweat.
Well that was the worst nightmare ever she thought as she looked over herself seeing that she was a pony again. It was midnight Twilight couldn't fall back asleep she was to scared. Once again she heard the faint whisper of death "Ha ha ha ha ha you really thought he was alive. I forced you to kill him in your dream i am going to drown your life in darkness." Twilight sat there thinking what should i do death is trying to scare me and it's working. She laid her head down but didn't fall asleep. She stayed up the rest of the night.If i go back to sleep i will have wicked nightmares but if i stay up forever ill go crazy i need help she thought.
It was now 10 in the morning Twilight went over to Applejack and Lowells house at Sweet Apple Acres. She knocked on the door until she was greeted by Lowell.
"Hey sorry to bother you Lowell but can i stay over for a few days?"
"Wait what's wrong why do you want to stay over?" He asked with a yawn.
"I have been having some crazy nightmares now that Blade is gone."
"Let me ask Applejack real quick." He walked inside and talked to Applejack.
"She said you can stay over."
Twilight walked into the house with Lowell and looked over at Applejack "Thanks so much."
Anytime said Applejack with a smile.
"Now Twilight let me show you were you can stay" said Lowell as he walked down the hall.
She followed as he opened the door to a small room with just a bed in it. "Thanks again" she said as she got on the bed.
"Welcome" said Lowell as he walked away.
Twilight was feeling very tired so she laid her head down. No i can't sleep she thought death will make me have a nightmare again. Her eyes were slowly closing she was really comfy and tired well Lowell and Applejack are here they will protect me. Her eyes slowly closed again and in seconds she was passed out Lowell walked in he was about to ask if she was hungry but he saw her sleeping he walked over and pulled the blanket up onto her. He walked out and closed the door.
This is still the same day as Lost In The Nightmares
Lowell and Applejack went to check on Twilight they walked down the hall to the door. They slowly opened the door together they looked in Twilight was still sleeping and from the looks of it she was having a horrible nightmare.
Twilight was with Blade she was in the assassins hideout with him. Once again they were human which she didn't understand why. She wasn't in control of herself it was she could feel everything but she couldn't force herself to do anything death was in control. They were drinking together in the basement where the bar and fight arena were. Blade looked over and smiled he was acting silly probably from the alcohol. She wanted to leave but she couldn't do anything she was only able to see think and feel.
"Hey Twilight do you want me to show you how an assassin fights with his fists."
"I don't know you might hurt me." Said death it was still her voice but it wasn't her saying it and she knew death was controlling her.
"Ha yeah right i would never hurt you your my girl i love you."
"Alright i guess you can show me to fight."
They walked over to the fight cage. An assassin opened it and then closed it behind them. Twilight looked over at Blade he was putting on some armor so he wouldn't get hurt. Twilight picked up some armor and put it on she had some gauntlets boots and a chest piece.
"Alright Twilight now i'm going to swing at you and you have to block it."
Blade threw 5 punches Twilight blocked all but one and got hit in the face it didn't hurt her but she got a small cut on her face. Blade swung a few more times and she dodged them instead ducking under his arms. Blade swung again and she grabbed his arm and flipped him.
"Twilight i didn't say to fight back yet are you ready to fight back now."
She looked at him and death still controlling her voice and movements and said "I was ready the whole time."
Blade swung at her fiercely his punches swishing in the wind. She ducked under most of them. Blade threw one more punch and she grabbed his arm. She held his arm and smashed her knee against it she shattered the bone with a loud crack. Then she swung at Blade and hit him right in his nose breaking that too he fell to the ground.
"Fuck Twilight what was that for damn you broke my nose and arm."
"I'm so sorry i didn't mean to i was just getting into the fight it was fun."
"Holy shit the bone is sticking through my arm use your magic and heal this please."
Twilight used her magic and healed his arm and nose. "I'm so sorry can we please fight again i'll try to hold back this time."
"Oh but i won't now that i know you want a serious fight i'll be a serious trainer and help out."
They stood up and got ready to fight. Twilight was really ready for the fight she was being controlled by death who loved making her suffer. She couldn't wake herself and she had to watch and feel herself punch the man that she loved. Blade signaled her that the fight was started. She swung at him he grabbed her and punched her in the stomach. Then he threw her back he swung about thirty times and hit each one she fell down. She was bleeding all over but she wasn't going to lose. Blade went to punch her again and she tripped him. She stood up and so did he. Blade swung again she ducked under it and grabbed his arm she punched him numerous times in the stomach with each hit you could hear another rib crack. He fell over but Twilight kicked him in the ribs he tried to stand up but he couldn't.
"Twilight stop it now."
She kept kicking him not letting up at all "No."
He grabbed her leg and snapped it in half as she collapsed in pain the only thing Twilight actually could feel. He stood up and went to walk out of the cage she healed her leg but it was still bent. She walked over to Blade and threw him out of the cage and he smashed his skull against the bar. She walked up to him again and she kicked him in the side of the head and he fell over. He was coughing up blood and he was sure his skull was cracked.
"Twilight if you hit me again i will kill you stop it NOW." He stood up barely able to move. One of the assassins helped him up the stairs the assassin brought him to his room. Twilight walked in still looking pissed seeing how it was actually death controlling her he was always mad. He grabbed his knife without her noticing. She walked over to his bedside and sat next to him.
"I'm sorry let me take you home."
He stood up and Twilight helped him she walked him towards the door which was right next to the stairs. She threw him down the stairs and he landed on his left arm breaking it. She walked down the stairs and picked him up. She pushed him against the wall he stood there paralyzed by pain. She walked over and grabbed a bar stool she went over and got ready to swing at Blade. She swung it and he grabbed it with his broken arm before it hit him his body lit up with pain he pulled out his knife and stabbed her FUCKING DIE." He shouted as he repeatedly stabbed her. Each time he pulled out his knife more and more blood came out with parts of her organs. She was barely breathing when she looked up at him. She would be crying out in pain if she could. Then an assassin walked over and handed Blade a mace. He stood up ready to kill her. He swung down the mace and she kicked it from his hands. She had multiple holes in her chest but she stood up. Blade went upstairs he grabbed his armor and put it on quick. She came up the stairs and went into his room she grabbed him by the neck and started choking him. Seconds away from death Blade new it was over he started to fall to the floor he raised his hands and tried to choke her. He got his hands around hers and his hidden blades came out cutting her throat because the length of the blades. She didn't let up choking him. He went limp and lifeless she went to leave and she fell down the stairs breaking her neck. She woke up with a scream from the pain and the creepiness from the nightmare. Lowell and Applejack looked at her in amazement.
"What's wrong?" asked Lowell.
"Death is making me have these terrible nightmares and Blade is in each one. Death is controlling me while i feel all the pain and see what's happening. He is torturing me making me repeatedly kill Blade in these nightmares."
"Well that sounds awful can i help?"
"I don't think so unless you can make death leave me alone."
"I don't think i can do that." Lowell said as he shook his head.
They all sat together Twilight still feeling a sharp pain. She cried out every now and then like it was actually her who got stabbed. She wondered if there was anything in a book that would help her. The only thing they could think of was staying up all night with her so she wouldn't have to dream so they attempted to stay up all night they talked about Blade and his death throughout the night.
Twilight Lowell and Applejack were still trying to stay awake all night. They were all very tired and didn't think they could stay up the rest of the night. They were falling over and they had to shake each other frequently to stay up. Applejack fell over and fell asleep Lowell took her upstairs so she could sleep then he wen't back downstairs to see that Twilight had fallen asleep. "Oh buck i need to wake her up" he ran over to Twilight who was passed out on the floor and started shaking her she didn't wake up. "Oh buck i am so totally screwed she is going to be so mad at me." Lowell went upstairs and went to bed with Applejack.
Twilight was once again dreaming but this time she wasn't a human she was herself and she had full control. She was sitting on her bed next to Blade. He looked ready to go out and check on the town and Twilight didn't know what she was supposed to do. Blade was looked exactly how he did when he died his main was a fiery color and he looked weak. Twilight watched him as he walked downstairs and opened the door.
"Twilight you coming he called out."
She walked downstairs and met him at the door. Everything seemed to nice and perfect but she didn't mind that. Blade walked around the town with her picking things up at each store they passed. She was wondering what they were doing together. Blade went up to the room of the assassins building and laid down a small blanket.
"Twilight sit down over here."
She walked over and sat down " Blade you don't have anything to sit on."
"I'm fine" he said as he set up plates with food on them.
He finished setting up all the plates and then sat down on the rooftop. Twilight looked really happy she was having a picnic with Blade how could that go wrong right? They ate there food together and Rainbow Dash came by she tried to make it rain over them but Blade made a forcefield over them. She looked at Blade and smiled she still liked him but he didn't like her. She flew away after that.
Twilight gave blade a kiss "thanks now i'm not soaked."
He smiled at her and then out of nowhere the whole sky turned completely black and it got really windy. Blades forcefield shattered from the force of the wind. Then out of the darkness Death appeared. He was on the rooftop not facing them.
"Twilight don't look at his face or you will die."
She sat there looking at the ground Blade doing the same. She heard Death moving towards them his footsteps echoed. He laid his hand on her shoulder. She shook from the cold lifelessness that was Death. His hand was as cold as ice she laid her whole body down onto the ground trying not to look back at him. Blade looked over at her hoping she was ok. Death put his hand on her head and lifted her up. He wasn't hurting her surprisingly. He put her right next to Blade and then he hit her awakening her from her dream. She was on the assassins rooftop just like in her dream she looked behind her and saw Death. She didn't look into his eyes then she realized she was laying on something she looked down it was Blade.
"Wait when did you get here Blade aren't you dead?"
He looked up at her his head against the floor "I should be that roof would have killed anyone else."
"Then why didn't you die?"
"Can we talk about the later Death is kind of staring at us."
Just like in her dream he walked over to her. He picked her up ready to throw her off the rooftop. Blade stood up "Don't hurt her."
He looked at him and put her down.
"Thank you" Blade said to Death still avoiding eye contact.
Death launched at him "You should be dead right now."
"I-i Know that Death." He was getting choked a little by Deaths icy hands.
"Your lucky i don't have a reason to kill you right now." He threw Blade against the roof.
"Thanks for letting me live" he said as Twilight ran to his side.
Death looked over at Twilight "You better stay with Blade now that he's back. He's the only one who can save you from your death."
She sat there next to Blade stroking his flaming mane which he liked a lot. She was so happy that Blade was real this time but she still wondered how she got on the roof. "So Blade how did you survive getting crushed?"
He smiled at her "Thank Midnight for that i'm wearing the armor she gave me that's why my main is flaming the armor made me strong enough to withstand the buildings collapse."
"Where did your body go."
"Well when you guys dug me out from under there i was paralyzed and couldn't do anything Ezio took me to a healer when everyone left my body and then he retaught me everything in the year that i was gone."
"You couldn't tell us you were ok though?"
"No i couldn't talk and sorry about missing our anniversary at least i didn't miss this one and Happy Birthday."
She thought for a minute really i forgot today was our anniversary. "Well i'm glad your back and thanks."
He gave her a big hug and then they kissed. Now that it was morning they walked to Sweet Apple Acres together. Lowell opened the door when they knocked.
He looked at Twilight "Oh thank goodness your ok,"
"Yeah look at who saved me" she said smiling at Blade.
Lowell looked at him "Blade" he jumped out and hugged him "i missed you man."
Blade looked at him "I missed you too."
Rainbow Dash flew by when she saw Blade she came down and tackled him hugging him so tight he could barely breathe. She looked over and saw Twilight "Oh sorry Twilight" she said as she flew away extremely fast.
"Well i just wanted to come back so you knew i was ok" she said to Lowell.
"Alright well i'll see ya around" he said as he closed the door."
Twilight and Blade went home and laid down on the bed. She knew now that if she slept she would be fine. She laid her head down and kissed Blade before she fell asleep. Blade smiled and fell asleep next to her thinking about all the training he went through and how sad Twilight must have been without him.
It was early in the morning Twilight and Blade had just got up. They were looking right into each others eyes. Twilight smiled and moved forward and kissed him then she hugged him she was extremely happy he was back. Then they both heard a loud noise that echoed through the town they walked to the window together and looked outside. There was a fierce storm going on the lightning lit up the world like fire. The rain was so hard it was like lead and the winds were so powerful Rainbow Dash had trouble trying to clear the clouds.
"I'm surprised we didn't figure out it was a storm right away." Said Twilight still latched onto Blade.
"This storm must be because the weather team was to busy training for the airshow they must have passed out after the training." Blade said as he watched Rainbow Dash attempt to clear the clouds.
Twilight looked at him a little angry that he was staring at Rainbow Dash but she knew he didn't like her. They watched her smash the clouds as more rolled in she was dodging the lightning excellently weaving in and out until it struck her she was slowly dropping to the earth. Blade ran outside and sprinted trying to get to her before she hit the ground. He barely caught her in time any later and all her bones would have shattered as she hit the ground. He carried her inside the house Twilight looking extremely pissed at Blade.
"I'm sorry Twilight i couldn't let her die."
"Yes you could have she is in love with you now she will be all over you Blade."
"Twilight i'm the town guard it is my job to save people i'm sorry but i couldn't sit there and watch her die."
She sighed "I guess your right it wouldn't be like you to let her die."
"Thank you Twilight now can i lay her down upstairs she needs some rest?"
"That's fine i'm going to see the Princess you better not do anything with her while i'm gone Blade."
"Twilight i promise you i won't do anything with her i swear."
"Blade i swear if you do anything with her i'll make you wish you died."
She gave him a kiss and a big hug and walked out the door. Blade lifted Rainbow Dash and brought her upstairs he layed her on the bed wondering if she was alive. He rested his head on her chest and heard her heartbeat and faint breathing. Oh thank goodness shes alive he thought. He sat next to her shaking her trying to wake her up. She moved a little and opened her eyes to see Blade looking right into them.
She giggled softly "Wh-what happened Blade"
"You got struck by lightning Dash i ran out and caught you before you hit the ground."
"Oh my gosh you saved my life that is so cool" she hugged him and stopped almost immediately from the burning pain she felt.
"I'm the town guard Dash i couldn't let you die are you feeling ok right now?"
"Yeah i'm alright i'm just in a lot of pain that's all oh and i can't use my wings."
"Well i can't fix your wings but i think i can use my magic so you aren't in to much pain."
He used his his magic on her and it seemed to have worked she stood up and walked around. She was still feeling pain she would twitch or cringe in pain every once and a while. She laid back down next to Blade and smiled at him.
"Thanks for ugh saving me it was really cool."
"Anytime Dash i can't let you die."
She looked into his eyes and he smiled then she moved in and kissed him very passionately he tried to pull away but he was at the back of the bed against the wall so he couldn't move. She kept kissing him making him feel really awkward he tried to say something but he couldn't. She finally stopped "I'm so sorry about that i just ugh" she thought for a moment "ugh i wanted to thank you."
It's ok Dash thank goodness Twilight didn't see she would kill both of us."
"I'm so sorry i just got carried away i hope it didn't bother you."
"Dash it's fine ok just don't do anything like that in front of Twilight i'm serious she will kill us."
"Wait Blade did you like me kissing you?"
He thought for a minute "ugh maybe I don't know anymore it felt right and very wrong because i'm with Twilight and I love her so much."
"Well if you two ever break up i'm here."
"Nice to know i guess."
"Ugh Blade do you think i can stay over the storm is still really bad and i'm still pretty hurt."
"Dash i'm sure you can but we should wait and ask Twilight when she gets back."
"Alright" she sat there next to him waiting for Twilight to show up. Blade was laying on the bed thinking about his relationship with Twilight. What if i am supposed to be with Dash she kisses me a lot more seriously than Twilight he thought. Dash looked over at Blade she could tell he was deep in thought.
"Watcha thinking about Blade?"
"I'm just thinking about Twilight please don't tell her we kissed whatever you do."
"Alright Blade I know she would kill me she already doesn't like me."
They sat there together Dash rubbing herself against Blade they heard Twilight open the door. She sat up and Twilight came up the stairs slowly. Dash was making sure she wasn't looking at or touching Blade if Twilight saw she would flip. She came into the room and looked at Blade.
"What did you do while i was gone Blade?"
"Not to much just helped out Dash here that's about it."
"Alright your not lying i know when you lie to me good job Blade."
"Twilight sorry to interrupt but can i stay the night?"
"Blade i'm going to trust you wont do anything with her so yes Dash you can."
It was getting late so they decided now would be a good time to go to bed. Blade helped Dash to the other bed he laid her head on the pillow and helped her get comfy so she wouldn't be in pain. Blade walked back to the bed and laid next to Twilight. She gave him a kiss goodnight and they fell asleep with the storm still raging outside.
It was 2 weeks since Rainbow Dash got struck by lighting. She stayed over the house with Blade and Twilight the whole 2 weeks and she still wasn't able to fly. Her wing was still burnt and disgusting it needed further healing. Although Twilight really didn't like Dash she thought that Blade and her should help there friend out. They sat there with her downstairs. Blade would usually use his magic so she wasn't in extreme pain. He felt like she just wanted to stay with him because every time she got alone with him she would try to hug him and kiss him. He could tell her wing was still messed up but he didn't think it was as bad as she led on. They all sat together not talking at all until Twilight stood up.
"Blade i need to go see the Princess my brother is sick and she wants me to go see him."
"Twilight shouldn't i be going to then?" asked Blade quizzically.
"No Blade you need to watch over Dash though someone needs to make sure shes ok."
"Yeah you need to stay here with me." said Dash trying to make it sound like she was in pain.
"Fine Twilight tell him i said feel better." said Blade sad that he couldn't see his friend.
Twilight walked up to Blade kissed him and then she left without saying another word. Blade sat there with Dash who was staring at him. She looked about ready to tackle him. He slowly walked upstairs and she followed him. He laid down on the bed and she laid next to him. She looked into his eyes and he did all he could to not look back into hers. He tried to fall asleep but Blade couldn't do that because Dash was rubbing his side with her hoof. He really wanted to say something but he didn't want her to get mad. He was definitely stronger than her but she helped control the weather he didn't feel like living in the rain. She was still rubbing his side and to Blades surprise it actually felt good. He still wanted to walk away but if he did anything she would flip out on him. She moved closer to him he could hear her heartbeat. He finally gained the courage to say something to bad it wasn't stop.
"Ugh Dash what are you doing?"
"Nothing."
"This is not nothing Dash your stroking me up and down my body."
"I'm sorry but don't you like it?"
"Dash i may like it but it's not right i'm with Twilight."
"So you like it?"
He thought for a minute not knowing how to answer "Ugh kind of."
She had a huge smile on her face "Then are you going to like this?" She jumped on top of him and started kissing him and making out with him she was kissing him so much he barely had time to breathe. After about 20 minutes of kissing Blade she finally stopped.
"Did you like that?"
He looked at her and collapsed finally able to breathe "Damn Dash if your going to do stuff like that please tell me i like breathing."
She chuckled at him "You still didn't answer my question did you like that?"
He was in a lose lose situation if he said yes Dash would be really happy and probably ruin his relationship with Twilight if he said No she would hate him and make it rain on him all the time he was so screwed. "Ye-yeah i liked it Dash."
He new he was going to regret what he just said but he survived a building falling on him how bad could this be. "Oh my gosh you liked it that is so totally awesome." She was still on top of him which looked really weird for anyone who may come up the stairs. He thought how mad Twilight would be if she found out she would probably rip Blades head off or Dashes.
"Dash your wonderful and all but we shouldn't do stuff like that if Twilight finds out she will kill me or you."
"What if your wrong and she joins in?"
He thought for a minute he was pretty sure Twilight wouldn't kiss or do anything with another mare so they would both be on him nut that seemed unlikely. "Dash that doesn't seem like something that would happen."
"I guess your right i'm sorry i just like you a lot."
"Dash I know it's ok as long as Twilight doesn't know."
"As long as i don't know what?" said Twilight as she walked into the room.
"That i destroyed one of your books." Said Blade making an excuse.
"Wait what Blade?" asked Twilight wondering if she heard him correctly.
"Dammit i just gave it away i said i destroyed one of your books." he looked at her hoping she wasn't mad.
"It's ok what book was it?"
"Well it doesn't matter now me and Dash just got back from town we got a new copy i didn't wan't you to know i ruined it in the first place though."
"Oh well if you replaced it it's fine."
"Hey guys i'm going to lay down for a little bit" said Dash cutting off there conversation.
Twilight walked down stairs as Dash moved to the other bed. "Blade walked over Good idea you should get some rest." She hugged him tightly almost choking him. When she was done he walked downstairs and sat with Twilight. They hugged and kissed every now and then but other than that they did nothing until nightfall. They walked upstairs and went to bed Blade still feeling uneasy about what had happened with Dash.
It was about 4 months since Rainbow Dashes injury she had finally left Twilight and Blade alone after being there for 2 months. Blade new she was only trying to hang out with him but for the first month her wing did look pretty bad. But that was besides the point he sat there in the house alone looking over the book Princess Celestia had given him when he first moved. Twilight was out with applejack and wouldn't be back till nightfall. He had the whole day to himself to learn new spells and whatever else he could possibly imagine. He looked over all the high level spells there were so many but he was looking at a certain one. It read Darken Days he wondered what it meant but it was difficult to read the casting part under it. He examined it carefully it was only a few sentences maybe five or six. If i had a magnifying glass i could read this he thought. He looked around for a magnifying glass he finally found one he walked back to the book and read it in his head then aloud.
"When you are feeling angered have no fear. Live the life of pain and persevere. May darkness guide your path. Through an endless destructive aftermath. Take the darkness and control. Let it grasp onto your soul." After Blade read the spell he felt his head get hazy he collapsed and felt a strong power take over his body. The pain was so powerful he couldn't move he lay there still until he was knocked out. Hours later Twilight came home she ran over to his side.
"Blade wake up" she looked at him he was no longer a dark shade of Blue he was Black and she also noticed his mane was black and grey. She kept shaking him he felt like he was on fire his whole body was almost as hot as lava Twilight had to stop shaking him after each second because she felt like her hooves might melt. He still wouldn't wake up he was completely knocked out and she had no idea for how long. At least she new he wasn't dead she could hear his breathing and when she shook him she could feel his heartbeat. She noticed his heartbeat was rapid. What should I do he isn't getting up she looked at the table and saw the open book. She looked at the spell entitled Darken Days but she didn't attempt to read it. He must have used this spell but there is no counter to this what do i do she thought to herself. She flipped through the book frantically trying to find something that might help but she found nothing. Wait what if I send a letter to the princess then I might be able to fix this.
Dear Princess
Blade used a spell called Darken Days he is unconscious on the floor for what looks like hours what do I do.
Signed Twilight Sparkle
Twilight sat there waiting for the Princess to write back. She sat there for what seemed like an eternity but it was really only ten minutes. She scanned the letter immediately.
Dear Twilight Sparkle
I'm so sorry but there is nothing you can do he will eventually wake up but you cannot change him back. I swear i destroyed all evidence of that spell but i guess not. The spell has transformed him into the master of darkness and destruction no one will beat him at these two skills. If he is strong enough he can control it if not ugh lets not get to that. Anyway you need to make sure he doesn't do anything to crazy with his new powers when he wakes up, He can destroy all of Equestria if hes not careful. I'm counting on you Twilight please don't let me down.
Signed Princess Celestia
Oh no your telling me he is going to be evil this sucks. She walked upstairs and laid down on the bed i'm sorry Blade but i'm not staying up all night to see if you wake up she thought. Twilight laid her head down and fell asleep. She woke up at midnight to the sound of someone coming up the stairs. Blade walked up the stairs looking very angry she noticed his eye color was now red. He got into bed next to her without a word his head still surged with pain but he managed to fall asleep as did Twilight. She woke up at nine to see that Blade was already out of bed he was standing in his casual clothing which was a shirt and a tie which were also black and grey. He was glowing with the aura of rage Twilight never felt so scared when she looked at him he had no emotion anymore. She stood up and walked over to him he was staring out the window. He immediately turned to her giving her a look that was so fierce she wanted to cry but she moved closer and hugged him.
"I love you Blade even if you are different now."
He returned the hug but didn't say anything.
"Blade are you alright?"
"I'm fine" he said as his voice echoed through the room. Even though he was evil Twilight knew he still loved her. She stood there next to him trying not to anger him she was sure if he got mad he would destroy her.
"Blade I think you should start patrolling the town you can't forget to do your job." He nodded back at her and walked out the door his footsteps were so loud it was like he had thirty pairs of iron boots on. He walked around the town as Rainbow Dash saw him she flew over to him.
"Blade whats up" she hugged him noticing his change in color.
"What happened to you?"
"Nothing" he said his voice cold as iron.
"Well could have fooled me but you look cool." She moved closed to him examining his every change. She moved in to kiss him but when she was about to put her lips on his he pushed her away and she flew across the town. He slowly walked over to her.
"Did i hurt you?"
"Isn't it obvious Blade you threw me across the town if you don't want me to kiss you just say so."
"Sorry" he said as he turned around and walked away. He walked through the center of town as everyone stared him down. Everyone felt the evil in his presence but they didn't believe the town guard was evil. Blade walked away ending up at Sweet Apple Acres. Lowell was out front he walked over to Blade.
"What the buck happened to ya?"
"Nothing."
"Well it doesn't look like nothin but whatever."
"Do you need anything Lowell?"
"No thanks Blade i'm fine."
Seeing how no one needed help and it was getting dark Blade made his way back home. On his way home a stallion ran up to him with a sword pointed at his throat. Blade just looked at him like he was a joke. He went to stab Blade and the sword broke into shards. Blade looked back at him Blade was mad now he lifted the stallion and smashed him against the grounding shattering nearly every bone in his body. He walked away like nothing had happened and he met Twilight in the house they went upstairs together. Twilight kissed him Blade held onto her and she fell asleep in his hooves.
It was 2 weeks since Blades transformation he just woke up it was 9 in the morning. Twilight was already awake she was planning on visiting the princess today. She looked over at Blade his red eyes glaring back at her. She walked over to him not saying a word. She circled around him until he said "Stop". She stopped right as he said it she didn't wan't him mad.
"S-sorry Blade."
"It is ok i don't like people circling me never did."
"So Blade do you want to visit the princess with me?"
"Sure."
It really bothered her how he didn't talk much now but she loved him so she over looked it. Blade used his teleportation spell on them usually you couldn't tell when he used it but now they both lit up in flames and reassembled at the castle.
"Blade you can just wait here or go into town if you want."
He sat down as Twilight walked over to Princess Celestia.
"Princess we need to do something about Blade i want him back to normal."
"Twilight i told you we cannot fix the spell the only way to change him back is to kill him."
"We can't kill him there has to be another way."
"There is one other way but I really don't think we should do it."
"Princess tell me what it is."
"Twilight i really don't think this is even an option."
"Princess just tell me."
"Well Twilight i can use a spell that will take the light energy out of you and put it in Blade but it will kill you."
"Princess whatever we have to do to fix him."
"Twilight are you sure?"
"Yes i'm sure goodbye Princess."
Princess Celestia got ready to use her spell she summoned all her strength. Blade saw this and slowly walked over he watched as Celestia was about to cast the spell. She cast it at Twilight and Blade jumped in front of her absorbing the energy completely. He stood there glowing red after he absorbed it all Twilight sat there ready to die with her eyes closed she opened them to see Blade in front of her. He looked at Celestia fiercely as he cast a spell at her she used a force field and it shattered.
Twilight sat there still shocked that Blade saved her "Blade your evil yet you still saved me why?"
"Twilight you are the only one I care about I may be evil but I love you."
She looked over at Princess Celestia who had parts of her force field in her "Blade I don't know what to say."
"I do" said Princess Celestia. "Blade I am going to have to lock you away you are to powerful."
Twilight jumped in before Blade could talk "No Princess you can't do that it's cruel."
"Twilight you have no say in this matter get out."
Blade jumped in "don't you dare talk to her like that I will destroy you."
Twilight slowly walked away "Blade watch what you say to the Princess."
Princess Celestia walked up to Blade "You think you can destroy me?"
"No i don't just think so I know I can."
"Blade I would like to see you try."
He walked up to her and hit her in the throat with his hoof she yelped in pain and fell down he was a second away from crushing her skull when she cried out "No stop." He backed away from her and she stood up.
"Princess you should know better than to fight with me" he turned around and walked out of the castle.
Twilight met him outside "what happened in there?"
"I showed the Princess i was stronger than her."
"Don't tell me you attacked the Princess."
"She asked me to."
"Blade i don't think she actually wanted you to hit her."
"She doesn't have the right to talk to you like that."
"Blade she is the Princess she can do what she wants."
"Twilight come with me we are going back inside."
They walked back into the castle Celestia sat there alone she was bleeding. "Princess apologize to Twilight for yelling at her."
She looked up at him "No Blade I will not."
"Now or i will destroy this whole castle."
She knew he wasn't bluffing but she was surprised even being evil she didn't think he would have the guts to do something like this "Twilight I am sorry."
"If you ever yell at Twilight or hurt her I will kill you and take the throne for myself."
She was mad that he had said something so serious to her but she knew she was no match for his new power. "Alright Blade I will make sure not to do either."
Twilight looked over at Blade surprised he did something so serious for her she was forever grateful. They started to walk out of the castle and Celestia went to cast a spell at Twilight. Blade jumped in the way and reflected it at her she slammed through the wall of her castle and parts of it collapsed. Blade teleported Twilight home and he went back to deal with Celestia. She stood up all burnt from the power of the spell "Blade It is your time to perish" she said as she went to get her armor. She put on her armor it was made with the finest and most rare metals and gems. When she had all the pieces on it gave her new strength. She repeatedly cast bolts of light at Blade he dodged all of them she ran out of energy. Blade saw this opportunity he summoned two shadow guards they both had giant axes and were wearing armor that was made out of pure darkness. Blade and his guards attacked her Blade summoned his sword that he got from Ezio and slashed at her. All there attacks bounced off of her armor. She grabbed a sword off the ground and slashed at Blade he rolled behind her and slashed at her armor straps. The armor clunked against the ground she tried attacking with magic again. Blade absorbed the attacks and threw them right back except his had double the power she fell to the ground with a thud. The shadow guards stood over her ready to execute her they swung there axes and when they were literally a centimeter away from her head Blade called them off. "Let me guess your going to kill me yourself." Blade cast a spell on his sword and he swung it at her it went right through her. He looked down at her and she stood up "Wait why didn't you kill me you healed me instead?"
"I have my reasons" he said as he laughed demonically.
"Blade you are truly the king of darkness i have never seen such power from anyone that is evil like you."
"I know i'm the king" he said as he teleported home to Twilight.
She was sitting on there bed when he appeared she jumped because she was so surprised. "I took care of the Princess."
"Did you kill her?"
"Not yet if she ever hurts you i will."
Twilight smiled at him she was happy to have such a powerful protector maybe she wasn't living in darkness after all. Blade it's late we should go to bed. He climbed in bed next to her and fell asleep.
It was 4 months since Blades fight with Celestia he and Twilight had just got up. They walked downstairs together to see a letter was on the floor. Twilight picked it up and went to open it as all her friends smashed through the door and fell on there faces then Lowell casually walked in.
"Twilight did you read your letter?" Asked Rainbow Dash.
"I was going to we just woke up."
"Well basically Princess Celestia is coming here to kill all of us because she thinks it was us that destroyed the town of Manehattan."
Blade jumped into the conversation "What do you think we should do i'm down for fighting to my death don't know about you?"
"Blade be serious we need to leave town she will have every single guard possible with her" said Dash a little mad that Blade was talking about death,
"Dash I was being serious but if you think we should leave then all of you get your stuff I got enough armor and weapons for all of you but I wont have a set or a weapon"
"Blade are you sure about this?" asked Twilight.
"Yes i'll just use magic for all that now gather your things we will be leaving soon." Blade threw them the armor and weapons and they all grabbed food and water. They all met up outside and they started running out of the town the only thing stopping them now was a hill. Just as they got to the hill Princess Celestia and her army or thousands of guards appeared at the top of the hill.
"All of you surrender now and your death will be painless."
Shining Armor stood next to her "Princess let me speak to my sister."
"Fine do it quickly."
Shining Armor walked down to Twilight and everyone else Blade being in front of everyone ready to fight.
"Twilight did you destroy Manehattan?" Asked Armor as he hugged his sister.
She looked into his eyes "No we didn't we never even got to go there."
Shining Armor knew she was telling the truth. He walked back to the Princess and started talking with her.
"Princess they didn't destroy the town leave them alone."
"How dare you tell me what to do" she snapped back at him as she pushed him away.
"Are you going to surrender or will you all die?"
Blade raised his conjured sword that was black like his armor and she charged them.
"Twilight take everyone somewhere safe i'll hold them off."
"Blade you will surely be killed."
:Twilight he will be fine i'm with you Blade" said Shining armor cutting into the conversation.
As Twilight and all her friends ran over the hill they slashed and killed every guard that got close. Blade and Armor stood there together on the front lines. Armor was dealing with the guards as Blade was fighting the Princess. He was slashing at her so fiercely he was definitely swinging to kill. Armor was fighting off hundreds of guards at once and he was getting tired he kept fighting because he needed to ensure his sisters safety. Princess Celestia kept calling in more guards every hundred that died another hundred would come it seemed like an endless battle. Blade looked over at shining armor who was getting swarmed he threw his sword slicing through multiple guards. Princess Celestia took this time to strike and Blade rolled out of the way he went over to Armor and took care of the guards so he could rest. Celestia saw him resting and went over to him she slashed at him and his armor clattered against the ground Blade turned around sword in and and tackled the Princess. He smashed her head against the ground multiple times most likely cracking her skull. Blade jumped off her and ran to Armor he was dying Blade lifted him up without saying anything then he used a spell to find where Twilight was then he teleported to her. He appeared right in front of her and she fell back surprised to see him.
"Twilight your brother is dying the Princess attacked him when i didn't have a chance to protect him."
Twilight looked at her brother who had a huge slash across his chest blood was flowing out like a river Blade was trying to slow the flow but it wasn't working well. "Blade is there any way we can save him?"
"There is a way but it is a very powerful spell I've never used it before if i do it wrong it will kill me and him."
She looked at her brother who was in great pain Blade I can't let you do it I love my brother greatly but I can't deal with life if you both die.
Blade looked at her confused he knew he shouldn't cast the spell but he did it anyway. He gathered up all his focus and strength and cast the healing spell. When he was finished he collapsed on the ground and Armor fell over. "Blade why would you do this now your both dead."
"Twilight i'm not dead" he said weakly "i'm just out of energy."
"Oh so this means you saved my brother YAY!!!" She lifted Blade and kissed him more passionately than ever before then she let him go back to resting. He layed on the ground for about an hour then he finally stood up everyone looked at him hoping he would be all right. He walked away from everyone and cast a spell on himself a huge amount of flames shot out around him but now he looked perfectly fine he walked back to everyone. He shook Shining Armor who was passed out on the ground probably from the blood loss. He was alive though Blade could sense his heartbeat. Twilight moved closer to Blade and cuddled him "You are the greatest you risked dying to save all of us and my brother" she kissed him extremely lovingly without holding back Blade sat there in shock. Blade lifted up Armor and they started moving through the night in the morning they reached a nice area where the land was perfectly flat but there were many rocks around. They set up a fire and cooked some food Blade woke up armor and used some spells on him so he wasn't in pain. They all ate there food together Blade finished his food quickly and when he was done he summoned some undead builders they took advantage of the rocks around and started making a shelter for all the ponys. They cut the rocks and set them up making a large house that had thick walls that had the texture of bricks. They went inside and laid down together they all slept except Blade. Blade cast a spell on there shelter preventing Celestia for locating it but he still didn't feel safe he went over to Twilight and laid down he lifted her head and rested it on him so it was like she had a pillow. He stayed laying there not sleeping at all that night.
It was the very next morning around 6 Blade was awake making sure everyone was safe. He was sure Celestia would try to find them but he wasn't afraid. Twilight woke up noticing that Blade moved her so she would be comfy.
"Blade why are you awake?"
"I was making sure nothing would hurt any of you."
Twilight stood up and stretched out "Sleeping on a floor sucks."
"Well we are on the run from the Princess we can't be anywhere obvious."
"That's true."
"Twilight we left a lot of stuff at the house do we need to go back and get anything?"
"Blade did you leave anything important?"
"Just my magic book."
"If you need it then teleport there and get it."
Blade liked the idea he teleported to the house except when he was able to see there was nothing there but a pile of ash and a letter. The whole house and everything in it was destroyed burnt to the ground. He picked up he letter i said his name on it in read writing.
Dear Blade,
If you are not a coward you will meet me at my castle as soon as you read this.
-Celestia
Really she thinks i'm a coward i'll show her. He teleported to the castle right in front of Celestia.
"Wow i thought you wouldn't show up Blade."
"I'm going to kill you Celestia."
"Why so hostile I actually wanted to talk."
"Talk about what your preferred way of attempting to kill me?"
Celestia laughed "No not even close."
"What is this about then."
"Blade i know i'll probably never beat you the dark magic makes you to powerful. I can always imprison you but that requires effort and guards. So I was thinking if you turn everyone else in I can make you the king of Darkness. You would get your own castle and your own town to rule over."
"What town is it and where is it?"
"It doesn't have a name so you could name it and it is actually close to Ponyville it is a very dark and evil town that's why no one wants to rule it."
"Would I be alone or could i take one pony with me."
"Who."
"Twilight Sparkle."
"NO Blade she must die i'm sorry."
"Why can't i just kill you and claim the title for myself?"
"Well actually why can't you give me a minute?" She thought for a little while "I know because your to much of a coward to kill me."
"So your saying I can basically just claim the title myself and take over the town though?"
"If you weren't a chicken you may be strong but you don't have guts for someone so evil."
Blade was starting to get mad at her for calling him a coward. "Like you are any better Celestia."
"I'm the leader of a nation and i'm not dating an ugly apprentice like you."
"What do you mean ugly apprentice?"
"Twilight Sparkle is my apprentice and she is pathetic i also think she looks ugly especially with her filthy hair."
"Celestia say one more thing about her I DARE YOU."
"Blade what are going to do go tell on me seriously she is terrible at magic that's why your the protector and not her."
Blade moved closer to the princess "You want to say something about her now?"
She laughed in his face "Your an idiot just like her no wonder you like her you two are both trash at everything."
Blade was truly pissed now his heart felt like it had been stabbed and lit on fire it was beating so rapidly his whole body lit up with warmth he walked right up to Celestia "I think your castle needs some repairs." He smashed his hooves on the ground collapsing the castle on them both. He used his magic to protect himself he walked over to Celestia who was crushed under the building she cast a spell on him but it seemed to do nothing. He lifted a chunk of wall and dropped it on her head and walked away. He knew she was dead this time he teleported to Twilight. He was right next to her everyone was in the house still.
"Twilight Celestia is dead."
"Why would you kill her Blade?"
"She was talking about you being ugly and I disagreed."
"Wait you killed her because she was talking about me."
"Yeah basically I destroyed her castle too."
"Blade I love you but seriously what is wrong with you i'm not that good that a Princess should die for talking about me."
"I think you are."
Rainbow Dash jumped into the conversation "Can you stop talking like this it's making me sick."
Blade looked at her "Shut the hell up Dash no one likes you."
Turns evil and he treats his friends like trash should have expected that she thought to herself. "Where are we going to stay though our houses in Ponyville are gone?"
"I said shut up do you listen and we can stay in an unnamed town that is close by."
Dash left and Twilight started talking again "Blade what are we going to do there though?"
"I am going to rule over the town as the King Of Darkness."
She thought about what he just said "You better not change when you turn into a King."
They all left and walked a few miles until they reached the town. It had nice houses and buildings but all the ponys that lived there looked like they hated everything. They went into the castle which looked like it hadn't been used for years all the walls led nowhere which was weird. Blade lit all the torches using his magic then he walked up to the throne he sat down. The chair seemed like it was scanning him when he stood up all the walls opened up showing bedrooms dining rooms and any other room you would see in a house. Blade was now the king of the town and the Throne had recognized he was evil enough for the title he walked into the master bedroom to see a huge bed he laid down with Twilight while everyone else went into the other bedrooms. They cuddled up together and he fell asleep feeling safe and at home.
It was a year since Blade captured the castle and commandeered the town. He was leading the towns people like a tyrant he forced everyone to listen to him even his friends the only person he didn't treat badly was Twilight. He had set strict laws making the people have little power. Twilight wasn't happy with him she wanted to go back to Ponyville or Canterlot.
"Blade can we please leave I don't like it here?"
"No Twilight I am the ruler of this town we are not leaving."
"Fine." She walked out of the room and bumped into Lowell. He pulled out a letter and showed it to her.
"Read this while i go speak with Blade."
She looked at the letter and read it.
Dear Lowell
We would like to inform you that the agency thinks you should get a promotion. Please inform Twilight that she is the new leader of Canterlot. For your new position to take affect you need to arrest Blade he is a horrible leader and needs to be imprisoned. After you do this you will get a raise and the title of secret agent.
-The Agency
She watched Lowell walk over to Blade he looked very scared.
"Blade I need you to come with me." said Lowell as he was shaking.
"Why Lowell?"
"You are going to prison." He said still shaking very badly.
Blade stood up and stepped down from the throne Lowell jumped back afraid Blade was going to hit him. He got right next to Lowell and pulled out his weapon Lowell was about to cry then Blade dropped his sword on the ground. Twilight walked over to Lowell and Blade.
"Twilight are you ready to go back to Canterlot?" asked Lowell still feeling scared.
"Yes I am and Blade i'm so sorry."
"Yeah Blade prison is going to suck hope you know that."
"Wait what's going to happen to everyone else?"
"They are going to meet us at the castle Twilight."
Blade teleported them to Canterlot where the new castle was someone must have rebuilt it. It was a lot bigger and nicer than before. They all walked into the throne room of the castle Twilight walked up to the throne and inspected it.
"Twilight your the Princess now you rule over Canterlot sit down."
She sat down in the throne and a aura of magic swirled around her as she transformed into an alicorn. Blade sat there looking at her he was going to miss her so much. When she was done transforming she walked over to Blade.
"Are you ready to get locked up?"
He nodded his head and Twilight led him down to the dungeon with Lowell behind them. They got into the dungeon Blade walked in and Lowell put cuffs on all four of his hooves. Blade tried to break the cuffs and escape but he didn't have the energy to do it. Twilight walked over to him she gave him a big kiss then Lowell and her walked out of the dungeon. "Goodbye Blade" Twilight was in tears as she said it. Her and Lowell went back to the throne room she slowly walked to the throne. She may not have liked how Blade had ruled but she didn't want to be a leader. She sat down and got ready for her long life alone. She sat there not saying anything all she did was think about how boring her life is going to be.
"Lowell did we really need to lock him up?"
"Probably not but he's evil we can't have him just roam around the town."
"Lowell this is like killing him he is all alone with nothing he might as well be dead at this point."
"Twilight don't say that wouldn't you rather have him alive?"
"Of course but what's the point if i can't be with him i'm sure he would rather be dead."
"Twilight do you really think he wants to die?"
"Yes he's supposed to be imprisoned for life i'm sure he would rather be dead."
"Twilight why don't you go ask him."
Twilight walked back down to the dungeon alone she opened the door at the bottom. Except when she looked inside there was blood all over the cuffs and Blade wasn't there. She looked around the room until she noticed an engraving on the wall. It said Twilight i'll always love you goodbye. She walked back upstairs to see Lowell right in front of her.
"Did you kill him?"
"No he was gone."
"Should we go after him he's wanted by every guard everywhere?"
"No let him be if he escaped he is leaving" she was trying to hold back her tears.
"Alright Twilight where do you think he went?"
"Hopefully somewhere safe."
She used a tracking spell to see where he was he was still on the grounds of the castle he was going to get caught and executed for sure. After Blade killed Celestia the guards got more intense training and better armor and weapons including crossbows.
"Lowell he's outside we need to protect him the guards will shoot on sight."
"No Twilight we shouldn't interfere we could get in trouble for that."
"I don't care Lowell we can't let him die."
They sprinted outside to see Blade outside by the castle wall there were at least thirty guards aiming at him.
"Drop your weapon shouted out the guards."
He lifted his weapon ready to throw it against the ground then Twilight ran over and the guards aimed at her and shot Blade jumped into her and pushed her away as he got shot with 30 arrows he collapsed onto the ground muttering one thing.
"Twi-Twilight I love you."
She walked over to his body and started ripping arrows out of him. After all the arrows were out she healed his wounds but he was still not breathing he was actually dead. She cried at his side as Lowell walked over.
"Twilight he's not dead trust me."
"How can you think that he got shot thirty times?"
"He is the essence of darkness i'm sure he can handle getting shot."
"Not thirty times no one can survive that."
"Twilight just you watch after a few minutes he will get up plus you healed him he's fine i'm telling you."
"No he's not Lowell look at all the blood he is definitely dead and if he's not dead the only mare that can heal him fully is Fluttershy."
"Twilight watch he is going to get up" Lowell hit Blade multiple times.
"Stop hitting him he's dead let him rest in peace."
"Fine"
Twilight sat next to Blades body she lifted it and brought him to Fluttershy.
"Fluttershy is he dead?"
"Why i just don't know Twilight."
"Can you do anything to find out?"
"I can do some tests but I think he's dead."
Fluttershy tested Blade to see if he was still alive she checked his breathing his pulse she tried everything but he was gone.
"I'm so sorry Twilight but he's dead."
She took his body and brought it to the castle she laid it in a coffin and left it there. Then she went to her bed and laid down trying to think about what happened she thought her life was bad when Blade got crushed by a building. Now she was really sad because this time he actually died she was truly living in darkness.
