Corrupted Harmony

Garrett turned to see Rarity on the ground, wailing at the arrow stuck into her shoulder. Out of the shadows, a human stepped into the small clearing the trio were in. He was about the same height as Garrett, with the same physical build. He had on a purple shirt with black slacks, with deep violet eyes and  smooth short lavender hair. He had a wicked grin on his face as he eyed the mare in front of him.

"Oops," He said in mock concern, fixed upon Rarity's wound.

"You," Garrett snarled. His voice was pure hate, seeping with venom.

"Ah, good to see you again too Garrett, how are things?" He asked. His voice was extremely casual, as if they were long time freinds.

"Fuck you," Garrett simply replied, waves of rage flowing off of him. Meanwhile Rainbow Dash has carefully set Rarity behind Garrett, and was now giving her a potion of healing.

"I see you have some new friends, not very smart considering what happened to Colin, you know," He replied, giving a cold smile to the equines. "I see that Garrett hasn't introduced me, I am Raze,"

"Don't bring Colin into this, he has nothing to do with this," Garrett said, trying to keep his temper under control. Garrett wasn't completely stupid, he knew Raze was trying to bait him into a fight. Patience, forethought, and planning were never part of Garrett's skill set, he simply jumped into situations. He still knew that Raze probably planned all of this. Garrett knew that Raze was better equipped for a fight, while Garrett was basically in shambles. He shot a glance to Rainbow Dash, then very slightly jerked his head up. Thankfully, Rainbow Dash got the message and nodded back. Garrett focused, and an idea came to his head. His eyes widened to the size of dinner plates and focused on a spot behind Raze, and slowly backed away. Raze laughed.

"Seriously Garrett, no one falls for that trick!" Garrett still kept his appearance and started to raise his sword to an offensive position. Raze began to look uncertain of himself. and slowly grabbed his weapon from his pack. It was a Night's Edge. The blade was slightly curved, wide and lightly glowing. the hilt was a light purple and shaped like bat wings.

It was all Garrett needed. He sprinted toward Raze and swung straight at Raze's neck. To Raze's credit he was a fast little fucker, quickly twisting so his shoulder was in the path of the blade, and leaped back so the sword cut his arm rather than completely separating it.

While all of this was happening, Rainbow Dash sped off, going to get help from the others. Raze twisted back around and heaved the blade at Garrett's head. Garrett ducked below the blade's path and stabbed at Raze's thigh. Garrett rolled out of the path of Raze and pulled his Aqua Scepter and sent a burst of water at Raze, sending the enemy flying. Before Garrett could feel too good about that, a searing pain shot through his leg as he took an arrow to the knee. A small burst of light and sound sent him flying.He fell to the ground on his back, the Aqua Scepter flying out of his hand as he gripped his stump of a knee. from his knee down his leg had been blown to bits, strands of muscle and bits of bone were exposed.

"Hellfire arrows, pack quite a punch, don't you say?" Raze asked, laughing. Garrett could only stare at the horrible, fractured man in terror. Garrett had faced a giant evil eye, a humongous worm that could split into different sections, a huge cursed skeleton, and a wall of flesh, yet Raze still scared him more than any of these abominations. The man was twisted, he took pleasure in other's pain and suffering and had a horrible obsession with the Corruption. Garrett tried to scoot away, and only succeeded in getting dirt into his wounds. "Think of the bright side Garrett, now you'll be with Colin, though you did kill him so who knows how happy he'll be to see you," Raze grinned, he was determined to draw this out.

"You lie!" Garrett screamed, tears in his eyes. "He never told me what would happen!" He relied on his old and crappy excuse.

"Oh please, you knew exactly what would happen, and don't deny it!" Raze snarled. "Oh well, at least you got a good thrill out of it,"

Raze notched an arrow in his bow and pointed at Garrett's head. However, he was determined to have one last stab at him. "Tell me Garrett, how does it feel to be so useless, that you fucked up on trying to save, not one, but two worlds?" He gave a sick grin of pleasure. He glanced at Rarity, who was motionless, but looked at Raze with horror. "Because I'm nice, I'll kill you first, Garrett, so you won't have to see her die,"  Suddenly a flash of lavender light lit up the forest. Raze's bow flew from his hands, and landed in a smoking heap on the ground.

Rainbow Dash had alerted the rest of the crew and they had all appeared and stared Raze down with a force that would make the most manly hero cringe. Raze was a sick fuck, but he wasn't stupid, he knew he was outnumbered. "Fine, you don't die today, but what happens when we're back in Terraria, and you wont have 5 friends behind you," He sneered. "What then?" He then ran into the thick forest and vanished. Twilight lifted up Garrett up magically, and Rainbow and Applejack lifted Rarity and carried her back to Ponyville. The entire way back Rarity's eyes only conveyed one message to Garrett.

"What just happened?"
