Two insane idiots

I watched the fire from the city glow in the dark, and slowly die down. The glow calmed my nerves, and sent me into my own world. The last of the bodies were disposed of by a few civilian Shadow, and Darkness captured. Me and Tyler spent the rest of the night relaxing, and trying to figure out a little more about our powers. Soon the sisters locked up the prisoners, and came to the throne room to join us. I used my crystal, and summoned a box full of whisky. "Man, I haven't had this stuff in ages." Shadow said with a grin.

"When did you ever drink?" Darkness asked.

"I broke into our fathers little stash." Shadow giggled. I broke open the box, and grabbed a bottle. I walked up to the throne, and flopped down onto the chair. Tyler summoned a chair, and two more for both of the sisters to relax in. I took a swig of my whisky, and smiled.

"Today, was fun." I said. Tyler and the sisters chuckled, and began to drink. We sat there for awhile, and talked. We mostly just talked about how many kills we got while the battle. Of course, I won. We asked the sisters about their past lives, but they just didn't talk about it. We shrugged it off, and told a couple of stories of our past lives. Like the one when Tyler came to school high on acid, and was caught trying to hump one of the cheerleaders in the locker room. Lets just say he couldn't walk straight for a month. Then there was the one when I got dragged into a big fight with a bunch of jock assholes who were picking on one of my friends, Shaun. I'll tell ya, we fucked them up, but they did a number on me since I was the biggest. Guess they thought that was a good idea. For a couple of hours we kept telling stories, and jokes, but soon Tyler brought up something.

"So Jacob, you said we'll have to bring some new 'Toys' to the party, what kind of toys?" He asked.

"Well, we cant summon any living creatures here to fight for us, right?" I asked, and looked at the sisters. They both nodded. "Then what about we bring in some technology, like robots, or droids." I said, and threw my whisky to the ground. "Just imagine it, a army of unstoppable killing machines that will only listen to us. Nothing can stand in our way!" I said with a crazy look. Tyler smiled, and chuckled.

"Not a bad idea, not a bad idea at all." He said, and took a swig of his drink.

"A army of machines do sound nice, and they should me programed to listen to whatever we say." Shadow said.

"Then it's settled," I said, and looked out the window. "Lets raise up an army." I said, and jumped out of the window. The wind blew through my face as I fell from the castle. Soon my wings shoot out, and I begin to slow down, and fly over the half destroyed city. "Now, where can we start?" I said scanning the outside of the city. Soon I found a wide open field, and decided that it would be the best place to start. I quickly flew towards the field, and landed right in the middle of the field. Shortly, Tyler and the sisters arrived.

"So, how are we gonna do this?" Tyler asked. I shrugged, and looked at the sisters.

"How are we gonna do this?" I asked. Both of the sisters gave me a look saying, "Are you serious?"

"your the one who came up with the plan, how did you not think about how to complete this plan?" Shadow asked.

"And didn't you say you got the hang of these new powers?" Darkness said. I shrugged.

"Do you know how to pull this off, or not?" I asked. They both sighed.

"Yes, we know." Shadow said.

"Just combine your crystals, and do what you did before." Darkness said.

"That simple?" I asked. They nodded. I shrugged, and pulled out my crystal. Tyler did the same, and we walked up to each other. "Ready?"

"Yep." He said, and stuck out his crystal. I raised mine, and connected them together. A few sparks flew, but we ignored them, and closed our eyes. Before I knew it, me and Tyler were both floating in this large black void. I looked to him, and he shrugged.

"The hells going on?" I asked.

"Hell if I know." He said.

"Maybe we need to focus, come on, lets try and think about a squad of droids, or robots." I said. We closed our eyes, and I felt like I was being sucked out of the void, and back into my body. My eyes snapped open, and I felt my legs turn into jelly. I fell two my knees, and started to sweat, and pant. I looked and saw Tyler doing the same thing. Soon Shadow, and Darkness walked up, and stared to our left. Confused, I decided to look to my left, and went wide eyed. There, marching towards us was a squad of robots. Soon they reached us, and the first one in the front offered a hand.

"Do you require any assistance sir?" The machine asked in a robotic voice. I stared for a moment, but soon I accepted. I stumbled to my feet, and regained control of my legs. I looked at Tyler and saw him on his feet with a amazed expression on his face. I looked back to the droid, and smiled.

"Thank you soldier." I said. "Listen up all of you, you now serve me, and my allies here." I said, and pointed to Tyler, and the sisters. " You have been brought here to fight for us, and to demolish any of our enemies without a second thought. You will be our main force. There will be more of your kind in the future, but for now you are it." I said. I looked over to Tyler. "You think you got a little more in ya for one last go?" I asked. Tyler sighed, and nodded. We repeated the process, and came up with three more squads of the droids. They were fully equipped, and ready to go. But for me and Tyler, we couldn't even stand, or move. Shadow, and Darkness looked down at us, and sighed.

"Need help?" Shadow asked.

"Yes please." I said. Shadow picked up Tyler, and Darkness picked up me.

"All droids, follow us to the castle!" Darkness shouted, and began to walk towards the castle. The droids marched in a ordered formation behind us. Soon we reached the castle, and Darkness ordered two squads of droids to guard the entrance, one squad to guard the prisoners, and the last squad to guard the throne room. Shadow took Tyler to his room that was across from hers.

"So, where are you sleeping?" Darkness asked. I moaned.

"Just put me in the throne room." I said. She shrugged, and did just that. Once we reached the throne room, she plopped me onto the throne. She was about to leave, but I stopped her. "Wait, before you  catch some sleep, can you hand me a bottle of whisky? I think I can feel my right arm again." I said. She moaned, and took the last bottle from the crate, and walked up the stairs. I looked down onto the stairs, and saw the broken bottle of whisky. I was about to warn her, but it was to late. She tripped on the wet stairs, and fell towards me. Before I could react, she landed somewhere unexpected. My crotch area. Yeah, this is kinda weird. Time seemed to freeze as I slowly looked down, and saw Darkness dead still. Soon, she shot up to her knees, and stared at me. I looked at her, rubbed my neck, and blushed a bit. "Uhhh, watch out." I said with a sheepish smile. Soon her face turned cherry red, and she covered her face. For a few seconds she was like a statue. I felt my strength come back, and decided to see if she was ok. I leaned in to put my arm on her shoulder, but before I could, stuff went crazy. Right as I was about to touch her shoulder, I saw her right hand turn into a fist. In the blink of an eye, her fist went from her face, and straight into my pride, and joy. My body froze in place as the impact felt like it lasted for ever. My eye twitched violently, and my body screamed in pain. I looked down, and see Darkness glaring at me.

"Don't you DARE tell anyone about this, or this," She grabbed my boys as hard as she could, and squeezed. "Is coming with me. Understand?" I quickly nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes, I under fucking stand, JUST LET GO OF MY BABY MAKERS!!" I screamed in a high pitched voice. She soon let go, and I held onto my boys.

"Good, glad we understand each other." She said, and walked away. She exited the throne room, and I just thanked god that my boys were intact. I looked down between my feet and saw a half empty bottle of whisky. I snatched the bottle up, and chugged it down. I laid back in my throne, and sighed. I still couldn't believe that I was here, that I actually have a second chance to make my own life. A life where I choose, and follow what I believe in. Not a life where I am raised like an animal, and looked down on as a freak of nature. I'm actually free. And the best part, I have a good friend here with me. I closed my eyes, and drifted off to sleep with a smile. But for some reason, I felt like something bad would happen, not sure what though. I pushed that thought out of my mind, and drifted off to sleep.

[Apple acres]

Today was a normal peaceful day for the apple family. They woke up, had breakfast, and went off to do their own business. Apple bloom went off to find her cutie mark with her friends, Granny Smith relaxed outside in her rocking chair, and Applejack, and Big Mac went off to work in the fields. Everything was normal to the apple family. But for Applejack, she had a feeling that today was going to be interesting. Applejack put that thought aside, and focused on her work. She bucked tree, after tree, after tree like she always did, and collected all of the apples from the trees. She stacked the basket of apples onto a wagon, and Big Mac carried them away. Before Applejack could continue her work, she heard a familiar noise. Once she figured it out, she rolled her eyes, and looked up in a near by tree to see Rainbow Dash snoring on a branch. Applejack made a small evil smile, and snatched a random apple off the ground, and shot it towards Rainbow Dashes head. It made contact, and Rainbow Dash yelped in surprise. She nearly fell out of the tree, but she used her legs to hang off the tree branch. She gave a blank stare, and soon gave a sheepish smile. "Hehe, hey AJ, how's it hanging?" Rainbow Dash said. Applejack rolled her eyes.

"How many times have I told ya not to sleep in the apple trees?" Applejack glared. Rainbow Dash rubbed her neck.

"Uhhhh, eighty three times." She smiled.

"Lucky guess." Applejack chuckled. "Why are ya even sleeping, shouldn't ya be practicing, or something?"

"Yeah," Rainbow Dash said, and fell to her feet. "But I just couldn't sleep. I felt like something bad happened yesterday, it kept me up all night." She said, and yawned.

"Well, maybe ya can sleep in one of your clouds?" Applejack said, and pointed up.

"Well they don't have fresh apple for me to snack on." Rainbow Dash grinned. "Anyways, I guess I'll just try and sleep some where el-" Rainbow Dash was interrupted by a scream from the distance.

"What in tarnation was that!?" Applejack said.

"APPLEJACK, BIG MAC, HELP!!" The voice of Apple bloom echoed from the distance. Instantly, both Applejack and Rainbow Dash sprinted towards the cry's for help. Once they reached Apple bloom, they saw her and her friends with terrified looks planted on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Rainbow Dash asked. They all pointed their shaking hands down the road. Applejack, and Rainbow Dash looked down the road, and felt their hearts skip a beat. At the end of the road was single royal guard, covered in blood, and slowly limping down the road.  Applejack froze, she didn't know what to do. She stood there for a few seconds, and finally snapped out of it. She quickly sprinted towards the guard, and caught him as he was falling down. She slowly lowered him down, and placed him on her legs for a pillow. Rainbow Dash quickly ran up, and got on her knee. "Hey, hey buddy, you okay?" She asked. The guards eyes slowly opened, and his mouth began to move, but no words came out. Applejack looked to Rainbow Dash.

"RD, fly to Twilight, and bring her here as fast as you can. HURRY!" Applejack ordered. As quick as a flash, Rainbow Dash was already in the air flying towards Ponyville. Applejack then looked to the girls.

"Girls, I need ya'll to get Fluttershy and bring her here." The girls nodded, and sprinted towards Fluttershy's shack. Big Mac soon arrived, and sprinted to Applejacks side. Before he could ask what happened, Applejack interrupted him. "No time to explain, help me get him to the house." She said. He nodded, and helped Applejack carry the guard back to the house. Once they reached the house, Fluttershy, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash were already waiting for her. Twilights eyes clearly showed shock, and worry as she saw the bloody, beat up body being carried by her friend and her brother.

"Applejack, who is that, and what in Equestria happened?" Twilight asked. The guards face was covered in blood, and dirt, so Applejack couldn't tell.

"No time, he's bleeding a lot right now. He needs help!" Applejack yelled as she felt the blood run down her hands. They quickly brought the guard inside, and placed him on the dinning room table. Fluttershy was scared, but stayed calm, and asked everyone to leave the room. Everyone did as Fluttershy told them, and left her to her work. For several minutes everyone heard screaming, and loud thuds. Big Mac was called in to hold the guard down as she did her work. For the next hour the noises got fainter, and both Fluttershy, and Big Mac exited the room, covered in blood. Big Mac had a blank expression across his face like usual, but you could tell he was holding back something. Fluttershy's eyes were overwhelmed with tears, and she lowered her head.

"I did all I could, whatever happened to this guard was to extreme for me, or even magic to help. He's still alive, for now. He is slowly dying, and I-I cant do a thin..." She said, and buried her face in her hands sobbing.

"If you have any questions for him, then go ahead and ask em, he's running out of time." Big Mac said, and walked out of the room. Everyone, but Fluttershy entered the room to see blood all over the table, and floor. Blood soaked rags, and tools were everywhere. Once Twilight saw the face of the guard, she froze.

"Flash Sentry?" She said in disbelief. Everyone walked up to him, and just stared. Soon Twilight spoke. "Flash, what happened, who did this?" She said with a tear running down his face. He was silent for a moment, but he soon spoke.

"It was a game..." He said in a quite voice.

"What?"

"It was all a game to him, he just laughed as he killed, and burned the city down." He said, and looked at everyone. "The laugh, his laugh, I can still hear it. I can hear him laughing over the screams of his victims. He just kept laughing, and laughing!" He shouted. "Dear Celestia, IT WAS PURE HELL! I watched all of my friends get cut down like nothing! My home is gone! Everything is gone! He'll come here and do the same! NO ONES SAFE!" He screamed with tears flowing out of his eyes, and went limp. Everyone just stared at the motionless body, and kept thinking about what he said. Applejack took off her hat, and lowered her head in respect, Rainbow Dash tightened her fist in rage, and Twilight just stared at Flash Sentry's dead corps. Twilight was speechless, and scared. The first thing to pop up in her head was her brother. He might be hurt, or worse, dead. Twilight quickly sprinted towards ponyville, and prayed that her brother was still alive.

"Please Shining Armor, please be alive."
