Issues from a Lonely Somepony
"It can't be..." [Part One]
Previous ChapterNext ChapterShe says as she watches Ponyville turning into ashes. The mare, the young filly, the fox and a pink unicorn with purple mane are standing in a high hill at almost midnight, watching as the city is getting wrecked by that draconequus. Derpy is with tears on the edge of her eyes, the filly is embracing her mother and the unicorn is aside Black Blur.
"Are you okay?" ask the pink mare.
BB keep staring at the destroyed city, feeling the cold weather of that dark night as the wind push his scarf to his right side. It's dancing.
"We shall get going and get another place to stay," says the fox, avoiding the question.
The pink mare stare at him with a melancholic expression, but she leave it like this, looking at the ground, "Sorry that I couldn't help you save the city, I... didn't mean to–"
"It's not your fault," he interrupts her. "Let's go."
He cut his paw at the side of a strange circle mark. When he's about to cast the spell, the grey mare interrupt him putting her right hoof at his bleeding paw.
"I know somewhere else we can go, and I'm sure that it's safe," she says, still crestfallen.
"Of course that after that, you wouldn't trust me..." BB says.
Both of them stay quiet for some seconds, "Lead the way, please."
Derpy doesn't respond to that and start walking, "You're coming, Sparkler?" she ask.
After the scene she just saw, she got paralysed but Derpy's serious voice snapped out of it. She recover her composure as fast as she can to answer the question, but all what she could say was:
"...yes."
~~Earlier that day...~~
The tour was great. A lot of ponies were extremely friendly to me and to Derpy. Dinky seems to be enjoying it, jumping around Derpy and Black Blur with such energy. Derpy is grinning as she introduce some ponies and some places around the city.
When we got between the everfree, we could see a small house, surrounded by animals. A lot of animals.
"Is that the place thee wanted to show me?" Blur ask.
"Can't you remember here?" she ask him, with a small grin.
The fox tries to pull out any memory of that place. 'I've been here before?'
"Silly..." Derpy says, shaking her head negatively, "It was here where I found you that night."
You open wide your eyes and that memory pop out of your thoughts.
"And we're here to thank the one that took care of you," Derpy says.
"Wait... it wasn't thee?" he ask in confusion.
"Nope. It was her–" she knock on the door three times "–Fluttershy."
'It... makes sense. Derpy doesn't seem to work on the hospital area,' he thinks.
The door open up to show a beautiful yellow and pink-maned mare with blue eyes. At the moment Black Blur stare at her, his pupils become peanut sized; impressed by the beauty before his eyes.
"Oh... Hi, Derpy," she greet the mare, with a shy voice — now I know the name origin.
"Hey, Fluttershy! Well, I suppose you've already seen him, but you never managed to talk to him–" she bumps her hind leg at his left paw. It hurts a lot, but he's still hypnotized by the yellow mare. "–His name is Black Blur, and he's staying in my house for some time. We're having a tour around the city, so I decided to bring him here," Derpy says. "Are you busy?"
The mare is staring at the fox, but she answer the grey mare "No, not busy at all, come in," she says opening the door to show a simple house with simple decoration, but it was comfortable and beautiful at all. The three of you enter the house, and take a sit at the sofa that was side by side the wooden table. Fluttershy was on the kitchen, getting some tea ready and baking some cupcakes.
"So, she was the one who treated my wounds?" Black Blur ask.
Derpy nods, "When I found you, I almost panicked but then I remembered I was near Fluttershy's house and that she take care of animals. You weren't a pony, so that was the best option available," she says.
BB nods, "Agreed."
After some minutes, the sun is setting on the horizon and the moon in rising on the other side. It was getting colder as the wind gets stronger, but still in a comfortable way. The windows were open, so everypony could appreciate it; the wind blowing.
Fluttershy arrives from the kitchen with a jar full of tea, "I'll be right back with the cupcakes," she says, "and your muffin, Derpy."
"Thank you, Flutters," she says, rising the tea cup with her wings.
"Thank you very much, Miss Fluttershy," Black Blur say. Fluttershy nods with a grin on her face, and go back to the kitchen.
The fox grin after that, taking a sip of the tea, "She's very kind, isn't she?"
"Well, I didn't expect less," she says taking a second sip of the tea, "She's the detentor of one of the Elements of Harmony; Kindness."
'The Elements of Harmony?' he think.
"What are these?" he ask. When he does, Derpy almost chokes with the tea, but rapidly swallowed it.
"What... you don't know about the Elements of Harmony?!" she shout, and BB get impressed and scared with that. What was that?
"Why are you so... astonished?" he asks.
When she's about to answer, a lighting falls near the house, causing a rain of cupcakes on the floor, with Fluttershy on the ground with her hooves on top of her head. A bunny pop out of nowhere, patting the mare's foreleg on the top.
"Are you okay, Fluttershy?" ask the grey mare, before...
-=Black Blur POV=-
Instantly and instinctively, you steal the wooden table's shadow crafting a shadow halberd from it and defending the two mares, the filly and the bunny from the draconequus assault.
"NO!!! DERPY, TAKE THEM AND RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!" you scream at the grey mare, that didn't need to think twice. She took Fluttershy, the bunny and Dinky and started running.
"Oh... THOU friends?" ask Insanity, sarcastically. "May I 'greet' them?"
Your pupils become microscopic sized as your body gets fulfilled and overpowered by shadow sorcery, powering up your abilities in one hundred percent. The speed of your blade is outrageous and you manage to pierce, slice and still end this combo with:
"DON'T THEE DARE TO TOUCH ONE CLAW ON THEM, THEE BITCH!" the draconequus is impressed by this, and her eyes aparently burn in rage, "SECRET SHADOW CLAN ART: BLACK CHAOS DRAGON!!!"
Your halberd wrap your right paw and take the form of a giant muddy dragon. You hit the draconequus right on her belly, piercing it and trespass it's body. Blood is spilled everywhere on the floor, as you land behind Insanity, that groan in huge pain — of course, she uses chaos magic (forte and weakness).
You disengage this power that even you didn't know where did it came from, but you couldn't care less about it. You needed to find Derpy. Luckly, she ran away and Insanity was uncounscious, what gave you enought time to find them and to run away.
I hope everypony is okay.
