Gods of death, darkness and picking up chicks

Yin and Jaden

Rainbow Dash was relaxing in a fluffy cloud, she had worked hard on her latest stunts and needed a nap.

She lied down on her back and closed her eyes.

But after a while, the sunshine in her eyes went dark.

"Hey, who put the sun out?" She asked herself and opened her eyes.

After that her gazed focus, her heart made a jump in fear.

"No" she said terrified" Not again"

Jaden woke up as he heard a large boom.

"What the hay?" He asked himself as he went up to the window" Why would Rainbow perform another 'Sonic rainboom' now?"

Out there, he saw his friend Rainbow Dash and the other local pegasuses fighting a giant dragon.

Jaden thought at first to help them, but then he noticed a certain mark on the dragons forehead.

"Oh, horseapples" he screamed as he opened the window and took of towards the fight.

The dragon wasn't striking back but it was to big for the ponies.

Rainbow Dash was recovering from the Sonic Rainboom, it didn't work once again but the pegasi had a plan to lure the dragon into a cage of clouds. She took of and successfully pushed the dragon into the trap.

"NOW" She screamed and the group of pegasuses started to summon lightning.

The dragon screamed in pain, Rainbow flew up to a cloud to help everyone else.

"STOP IT NOW" Jaden screamed as he advanced to the cage of clouds"STOP HITTING HIM"

"What?" Rainbow said dumbfounded.

"Trust me, I got this" he said as he looked her deep in the eyes.

Rainbow looked at him, at first with disbelief but then backed away.

Jaden flew up to the dragon, it was badly injured but it could fly, and looked it into its eyes.

Then, to a great surprise for everypony, he bowed and said in a polite voice:

"Greetings creature of light, hope you can forgive the rude welcome"

The dragon looked at Jaden and then, to a even bigger surprise for everypony, nodded his head down and said out loud so that everypony could hear him:

"Greetings young master of darkness, I forgive these ponies. It is understanding after my actions in Canterlot"

"What brings you here?" Jaden asked, ignoring the confused eyes from the air and ground.

"I need to speak with you, can we go to a more private place?" The dragon asked as he let his eyes go around in the surroundings.

"Sure, follow me" Jaden said and flew of towards the Everfree forest, with lots of confused eyes on him.

They flew of to the entrance of Everfree and landed right infront of the forest.

"Now, what is it?" Jaden asked the dragon.

"I've come across one enemy that I can't defeat on my own, I need you and the elements of harmony's help to defeat it" The dragon said.

"Really, what is this enemy we're talking about?" Jaden asked curiously.

"It is a dragon made from the shadows, I tried to use every part of my body to defeat it but without success" The dragon said, disappointed at his failure.

"Hmm... I'm in but I will have to see how it is with my friends" Jaden said, he turned around and walked towards Ponyville" I will meet you, with or without them, here tomorrow."

"I understand young alicorn" The dragon said as he sat down and then went to sleep.

"HE WANT US TO DO WHAT??!" Twilight screamed, almost causing Fluttershy to jump back and hit a bookshelf, after Jadens explanation.

"To go after a dragon made from the shadows and take care of it" Jaden said, ignoring the look on his friends.

"B...but why doesn't he just walk in there by himself?" Rainbow asked" If he now is the guardian of light?"

"This kind of darkness is beyond his skills" Jaden explained" Short description, we're going to fight fire with fire"

"How do we even know if he's on our side?" Applejack asked suspiciously" Ah' don't trust that dragon at all"

"Applejack I told you before, he...was...corrupted" Jaden said annoyed" He had tasted darkness within light and he was lost in his body"

"What is that exactly?" Twilight asked him" We heard a similar phrase of words from you when you saved us from the bloodhooves"

"The darkness within light' is a moment when things goes from good to worst" Jaden explained" I control the opposite power called 'The light within darkness'. It shows when a moment is as bad as it can be"

"I...I don't really belive that the dragon is an enemy" Fluttershy said quietly" He didn't do anything to harm us when we attacked him"

"What? Ya' don't seriously belive that the dragon is trustable" Applejack said to her friend, but Fluttershy had enough.

"Yes, I acctualy do belive it" Fluttershy said in a confident tone right in the face of her friend, as she walked over to Jaden" And I'm acctualy going to help them instead of being a selfish little farmer 'I-know-everything' girl that I know"

This caused the mares to react in a confusion, they had never seen her like this since they faced Discord.

After a really awkward silence, Rainbow Dash flew over and joined her friend.

One by one, the mares went over to Jadens side and left Applejack standing alone.

"Well?" Jaden asked and looked at Applejack who was staring down on the floor.

"Hmph, fine" Applejack said, angry because that her friends had turned on her." But I will keep mah' eyes on that dragon"

"Then It's settled" Pinkie Pie said happily" TIME FOR ADVENTURE!!!"

As they all exited the library, Jaden saw that Applejack was walking with her head dipped down in anger and sadness.

"Hey, are you alright?" he asked curiously.

"Yeah ah'm fine, just go and fix ya' stuff. Ah don't wanna talk about it" she replied and galloped away.

Jaden knew that it was something with his friend, but he knew that it wasn't the right time to talk about it.

So, he turned around and galloped towards his house.

"I'm glad that you all decided to join me in my battle" the dragon said to the company of ponies as they all stayed outside Everfree forest.

"Just don't try anything" Applejack said suspiciously" Ah' got mah' eyes on ya'"

"Ignore the rude comment, it's a pleasure to help you" Jaden said and he gave Applejack an angry gaze, it was returned by an 'hmph'.

"It's understandable that I am untrustable for this young earth-pony" the dragon said" But right now, we all need to move as fast as we can."

"Okay, Pinkie, Rarity and me will get our balloon ready" Twilight said.

"To small amount of time" the dragon said impatient" I will take the full company off none-flying ponies on my back"

" Is...is it safe?" Rarity asked" What if we all fall off?"

"Don't worry, I fixed up a spell that creates a room around the dragon. It's one-hundred procent safe" Jaden said.

"If you say so" Applejack said" Let's just get moving"

" Right, jump on my wing" The dragon said as it let a wing lower down for the ponies to walk up on him.

Jadens horn started to glow and a small amount of darkness surrounded the dragons outside.

The dragon took of into the air, Jaden and Rainbow Dash joined up a little bit after.

"So, were are we acctualy going?" Jaden asked.

"To a cave, south of Manehattan" The dragon said as he made sure to not let the mares on his back fall around in Jadens spell.

They flew through a long time, but after a while, it was getting darker.

"We'll  put up our first camp here" The dragon said as he landed by a beach.

"Good idea" Jaden said as he and Rainbow landed right beside him

"Sweet Celestia's mane, I hate for flying a long time" Rarity said as she jumped of the dragon.

Jaden chuckled, he had the same problems with planes back on earth.

They took up some food and digged in, Applejack was watching the dragon very closely.

After a while, she went of towards the sea and sat down.

Jaden joined her, only a couple of minutes later.

"It sure looks beautiful  this landscape" Jaden said as he looked over to the sunset.

"Yeah, ah guess so" Applejack said, with a sign of sadness in her voice.

"What is it?" Jaden asked straight on" I know that something has been bothering you for the whole trip, lets hear it"

"It...It's that" Applejack stuttered to get the words out without crying" Mah' parents were killed by a dragon"

Jaden looked at her desperate attempt to keep a neutral face, but her eyes were full of tears.

"Ah'...ah' was j...just a fillie... ah' saw h-how they were ripped a-apart by th-that m-monster" she stuttered, with cry in her voice and then she bursted out into tears.

Jaden embraced her and said calmly:

"It's alright, I understand"

Applejack was crying in his arms and Jaden just sat there and held her, it was the only thing he could do.

They both sat there, a crying mare with a cowboy-hat and a black alicorn who embraced her.

And in the background, the sun was going down.

Over the two friends, gaining eachothers full trust at the sunset.
