Chapter 6 The Light of Day

Rarity opens her eyes and sees Bon Bon standing a few feet away. Bon Bon slowly falls in half. Rarity screams “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!” Everypony jumps awake. Thunderstorm and David says “What’s wrong?” Rarity points to Bon Bon. David says “Oooh bit.” Thunderstorm says “What the buck?” A creature runs at Twilight. She screams “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!” David catches it’s scythe and stabs it into its own body and slices up. SHING!! SHING!! Thunderstorm spins around and cuts it in half. It falls

down dead. Thunderstorm says “What was that?” David says “A Twitcher.” “They’re quite dangerous so….yeah.” “We should get out of here before more show up.” Thunderstorm says “You heard the pony.” “Let’s move out.” “Back into formation.” Rarity says “Do you really think we’ll find any survivors?” Thunderstorm says “I hope so.” Rarity says “Can I stay near you?” “I’m scared.” Thunderstorm says “Of course Rare.” “Let’s move!” 5 miles later. Applejack says “Are you ok now

partner?” “No more of them hallucinations?” Thunderstorm says “I don’t know.” Applejack says “I couldn’t even imagine what it’s like to have your own mother try to kill ya.” Thunderstorm says “AJ please.” “I don’t want to talk about it.” Applejack says “Sorry partner.” Thunderstorm says “It’s ok AJ.” A voice says “Son.” “My son.” Thunderstorm stops walking and says “N…No.” “Not again.” Luna appears in front of him and says “Hello son.” Thunderstorm starts to stumble and says “M…Mother.” Applejack

grabs him and says “Don’t fall partner.” Thunderstorm says “Mother…” His eyes close. David says “Whether he hits the ground or not makes no difference.” “He’ll still enter the hallucination.” The filly says “Thunderstorm?” Applejack says “He’ll be fine little buckaroo.” “You’ll see.” In Thunderstorm’s head. Thunderstorm says “Get away from me!!” Luna says “Why do you want me to leave you son?” Thunderstorm says “You’re not my mother!!” Luna says “How could you say that?” “Do you not love

me?” “Is that why it was so easy for you to let me die?” “To not hear my screams for my own son to help me…..to save me.” Tears go down Thunderstorm’s cheeks and he says “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!” “Get away from meeeeeeeee!!!” “Stop it.” “Stop it please.” “I’m sorry….I’m so sorry.” “Mother.” He falls to his knees crying. Luna walks up to him. Her eyes glowing and she says “Join me my son.” “Walk into the light with me.” Light appears behind her. Thunderstorm says

“I…..” Luna says “I miss you son.” “Please come with me.” “Make us whole.” Thunderstorm says “I….I….Mother…..” Back to David and Applejack. Applejack says “Whoa!” “Whoa!” “His health is dropping and it’s dropping fast!!” David says “Oh bit.” The filly says “Thunderstorm?” Rainbow Dash says “Thunder….please…make it.” Pinkie Pie says “Oh here comes some more of those sword guys.” David says “What?” “Ooooh buck.” “That’s Twitchers Pinkie.” Pinkie Pie says “I know.” 5 more join them. David

says “We’re screwed.” One heads straight for Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash’s eyes go wide. SHING!! Thunderstorm appears in front of her. His eyes glowing red. His armor clashed against the Twitchers scythe. Thunderstorm says “Don’t…touch….her.” SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! It falls down in pieces. One heads for the filly. Thunderstorm’s eyes turn blank. SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!!. It falls in tiny pieces. Storm clouds form in the sky. Thunderstorm says “Families, fillies, mares, you kill them all and I’m….tired…..of……it.” “Ha huh.” David says “Stand back everypony.” Thunderstorm says “You…even…killed….this…..ones……..mother!!!” “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!” BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CRACKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ground shakes and cracks. Thunderstorm goes through

them like some graceful dance of death. They all fall down dead. Thunderstorm says “Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn…nnnnn..nnnnnnnnnnn.” David says “Uh…you ok Thunder?!” Thunderstorm’s eyes focus and he says “Yeah….fine.” “Ha huh.” “Ha huh.” Thunderstorm walks back to them and says “You ok Dashy?” Rainbow Dash kisses him and smiles and says “I’m fine thanks to you.” “Like always.” Thunderstorm smiles back. The little filly says “You….protected me?” Thunderstorm says “Yes I did kid.”

The little filly says “You got that mad over me?” Thunderstorm says “You were most of it yes.” The little filly says “Mommy is dead?” Thunderstorm says “I should’ve told you straight off but yes she is.” “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner kid.” The little filly says “You got that mad over me.” Thunderstorm says “We better move.” “We don’t know if…” “Oof.” He looks down. The little filly is hugging his hoof. Tears going down her cheeks. Thunderstorm says “Why are you crying sweetie?” The little filly looks up at him

and says “I have a daddy.” Thunderstorm says “I….I….uh….” He looks into her light blue eyes and sighs and says “Yes you do sweetie.” She hugs his hoof tighter and smiles wider. Thunderstorm says “Hop on my back sweetie.” She hops onto is back and hugs his neck. Thunderstorm says “What’s your name sweetie?” The little filly says “Dia De Los Muertos.” Thunderstorm says “Oh Luna.” Everypony stares at her. She says “What?” “What’s wrong?” Twilight says “Nothing.” Thunderstorm says “Let’s just get walking.” End of Chapter 6
