Lost: More Than Just A Friend...
Dark Magic
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Now, if you don't want to get severely injured, then you will take those Dispersion Rings off of my friends."
I heard the sound of clopping, getting louder as if a unicorn was getting closer to me. Almost instantly, I held out my fist behind me, and felt fur, bone, and teeth slam into it.
The snow white unicorn nodded as his horn lit up. I looked over to Amethyst and Lyra as the rings lifted up and were thrown to the side.
I looked back at the unicorn, still smiling. "Good."
I lowered my katana and punched him in the gut, causing him to fall to the ground. Walking over to grab my belt and put it on, I looked around to find an exit. Bingo. After I put my katana back into it's sheath and opened a door on the right side of the room. A large forest.
"Great. Just great. We're in a forest. Don't know which one, probably the Everfree, but we are lost. Fantastic."
I walked outside and headed over to a tree. I started punching it like mad, yelling in frustration after each strike, my white glow fading away.
"ARE. YOU. FREAKING. KIDDING. ME."
I stopped as Lyra walked up to me. "Are you okay? You just punched a tree with you bare hands."
I looked at my knuckles. They were fine. "Yeah. Nothing's wrong with my fists, surprisingly. Must have something to do with my abilities."
An idea came to my mind. "Hey, can any of you teleport?"
Amethyst shook her head, but Lyra spoke. "I can, it's just that whenever I teleport with multiple bodies, it usually ends with a large explosion and fire everywhere."
We walked for a couple hours. The farther we went, the denser the forest seemed to get. The sun was starting to set when we had found a cave. There were a few berry bushes around, but not enough for all of us to eat for a few days.
I just sat on a cliff above the mountain, watching the sun set while the others were getting ready for when night comes. Pretty soon, I started thinking, *Why is it that I'm always being followed by trouble? What happened to The Elements Of Harmony? Shouldn't trouble come their way? Also, why is it that I am the only person here? Am I even a true person? I mean, I'm in a world of talking ponies, and I have magical powers, something I know a living human being wouldn't ever have. What's my purpose in this world? What role do I play here? I saved Equestria twice, so shouldn't I be done? I just don't get it...*
"Hey Roe!"
I snapped back into reality. "Whu....oh......hey Lyra. Whattsup?"
"Oh, nothing." She sat down next to me. "What're you doing?"
"Just thinking about why it is that I'm the only person here, and why trouble always comes my way. Why?"
She shrugged. "Nothing. Got bored. Maybe one reason you're the only person here is so that you and me can be together?" She giggled.
I laughed. "Yeah, maybe. But still. Why?"
"I dunno. Hey, don't stress too much about it. Just be glad that we're all safe, and hope that we find our way out of this forest, okay?"
I sighed. "Fine."
"Good. Now c'mon. We're setting up a camp fire, and we need help finding branches that aren't the size of pencils."
I got up and climbed down the cliff. I had found a whole load of branches big enough for a couple fires behind the cave. I hauled the branches up and turned around towards the cave. I took a step. The ground collapsed in on itself, right under me. I was falling down a tunnel.
Falling. Falling. Falling some more. Still falling. I started to get tired of falling until I landed in a pool.
Breaching the surface, I looked around where I was. A large cave with three tunnels and familiar looking green glowing crystals. I knew what that meant.
"You....have got to be.......fucking kidding me!" I yelled out.
I heard three familiar screams coming from one of the tunnels. I listened closely, trying to figure out which tunnel to enter. The middle one. I walked down the tunnel, very annoyed by this.
Bug like pony creatures, obviously changelings, darted at me, only to be sliced, diced, or decapitated by my blade. Each kill was made without even a flinch. I just stared ahead as I went to finally kill this nuisance.
I reached the end of the tunnel, and found the culprit who had the three mares glued to the side of a wall. Queen Chrysalis.
"Why won't you just stay dead?!" I yelled as I threw a large rock at her, my body glowing bright white.
She laughed evilly. "I was just about to say the same. How have you been? I see that you have somepony special. Somepony that you love."
I smirked. "Yeah." Within an instant, I was in front of her. "And I have new strengths to make sure you stay dead."
I swung the blade, but just barely missed, only cutting her left cheek. She growled as her horn lit up. A blast of magic shot out at me, too quick to dodge, striking my chest.
My body lit up with a bright light, brighter than ever before. It was especially bright around my chest, which was bare from the shirt being burnt off. I was now engulfed in a bright explosion.
When it disappeared, I couldn't do anything. I couldn't control anything. My body was now glowing black, with a red outline.
My voice changed from it's usual to a demonic tone. "The power. Oooh, The power! It feels great! I HAVE SO MUCH POWER!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!"
I lunged for the changeling queen, and started jamming the katana into her chest many times. I wanted to stop. I needed to stop. I just couldn't. Something had taken control of me. All that I could do was watch in horror, as I started to slice her throat.
Pretty soon, the black and red glow disappeared, and I felt drained. There was green changeling blood on my hands. I just sat there, taking in all that had happened. Her body was nothing but blood and bits.
I looked at the three mares. They were covered in the green blood. They all just stared at me. I know that Lyra probably is too scared to be with me anymore.
I burst into tears. "Wh-what have I done?! I'm sorry! I c-couldn't control it! I-I..." I couldn't go on anymore.
When I had calmed down to the point where I could open my eyes again, I asked them, "Please, forgive me. I ha-have no Idea what had happened. I-I couldn't control it..."
Amethyst wasn't afraid anymore. "It was dark magic. She must of accidentally let in an opening for dark magic to take control when you were glowing with magical power."
"Is it still inside of me?"
She nodded.
"Is there anyway I can get rid of it?! Anyway at all?! Please tell me there is a way!"
"There is a way, but the only unicorn I know that could probably do it is Twilight Sparkle."
I freed them of their green sticky prisons and we got out of the cavern.
