Helping Luna
The Fight
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAll four of my friends let out a GASP as I went to the door. It was princess Celestia. As soon as I saw her I gave her a stare as cold as dry-ice, which could and it most likely would kill a lesser pony. "What. Do. You. Want." I snapped. Both lunas, the other Celestia, and Dusk had already hidden. Dusk alone knew how powerful I became when infuriated, and I had a tendency to lash out, but he forgave me for the incident.
"Oh I just came to see the newest Alicorn in Equestria. Although, idve thought you'd be a mare." I literally growled, which in turn made me so angry, my mane started to turn into midnight blue flames, and my pupils became rather... reptilian. I grew taller and darker, until I became black and I suddenly gained a helmet, along with body armor aswell.
"Luna isn't the only one who has...encountered the nightmares. In fact, in some instances, I've learned to welcome them." Celestia let out a GASP. She called for her guards, whom I effortlessly knocked out. "No. It's just you and me Celestia. For safe measures," I put up a barrier around us, like a battlefield dome. "Now your petty guards may not help."
"First: who knew you could be such a hot head. Secondly, I defeated my sister already, and I can defeat you too!" She shouted. Apparently we were gaining a crowd. I instantly grew even larger still after Celestia taunted me. I then let the shadows take over. There was no way I would win this war. The nightmares had me flash my humongous fangs, and had me shoot lasers at Celestia. They got lucky only once, leaving a smoking hole in her mane. The shadows provided me with all I needed to fight. Strength, stamina, courage, and carelessness about my adversary. Celestia on the other hoof, fainted from exhaustion while using a giant fireball spell. Only damaging me slightly.
"Pitiful." I said. "Just pitiful. You only managed to last twenty-five minutes celstia. What happened to your confidence?" I jeered. "What happened to, I defeated Luna, and I can defeat you too, HUH?" Celestia could hear, and that is all she could do. "You call yourself a leader. You think you are the strongest. You think you are capable of ruling this land, being so weak? No wonder you had your sister help you. You were simply leaning on her, to try and prove you are strong. Alas, you've kicked her out. Left her for dead. What are you going to do?" I continues to make fun of her ans I circle her. "Go ahead. Plead for mercy. Plead to have me let you keep your life, so that I may take it away. Casting away you sister was dumb. Even dumber, you chose to fight me. I bet you'll be glad I end this." I say the last sentence as I draw nearer. I then hear from the doorway dusk and my Luna talking.
"Leave him be Luna! In this state, he might kill you! Look how easily he took out celstia." Dusk said. I suddenly started shaking violently and the shadows all seemed to have a mind of their own, making me feel like they were pulling me in all directions at once. I began wheezing and coughing as I shrunk I then started coughing up clots of blood.
The last thing I remembered was feeling a gentle hoof put under my head to support it, and a very beautiful mane tickling my face, before I passed out from the brutal beating I had received during the fight as the shadows left me.
Once I was back to normal size, and regained some consciousness, I heard snippets of converaation like, "He lost...needs blood.... find....donator...type O blood. I then was administered more anesthetics so I would fall back asleep. Before I did however, I saw Celestia sitting in the bed next to mine, staring at me with a chipped and burnt horn, a broker wing, and a front hoof cast. I noted that there were three dark blue figures and one white one outside the window, talking nervously. I then finally fell back asleep.
I woke up to a welcome sight: both Lunas, Dusk, and Dusk's Celestia, all watching me. I looked at both Lunas and said, "who is who, you two look exactly alike." The one on the my right, whom I presumed was my Luna, walked over and gave me a long kiss,smack on the muzzle,and I was unable to resist due to being strapped down during surgery. I didn't mind though. I looked over where Celestia had been, to find she was asleep. I then turned to my Luna and said, "I'm sorry. The shadows consumed me as they have done once for the past ten years. I don't know why they controlled me and forced me to do such things. She gave me a quick hug and said,
"I accept your apology, although I am not the one you should apologize to." I then realized my Celestia was wide awake and listening. I then turned to her and said, "I'm sorry your highness, but will you forgive me?" She only replied with turning her back on us, so when I was granted leave, I made a card and put it on Celestia's medicinal table, a few feet away from her bed. I thought to myself, I wonder what that weird green glint in her eye was.
Although I played it no heed as my Luna playfully shoved me into a mare referred to as 'derpy' and occasionally, 'ditzy'. "A thousand apologies miss!" She accepted with a nod, for she had a muffin stuffed in her mouth. Dusk then tapped me on the shoulder and said,
"Shouldn't you be hiding yourself?" He asked cautiously, wary of the gaze of the crowd.
"Don't you know everyone reads Equestria Daily?" I said. "I'm lucky I'm not swarmed by hundreds of thousands of ponies, although I did manage to do considerable damage to her without really trying.." I trailed off, seeing as it would most likely become a huge argument for some reason nopony cared about all that much.
