The Darkness Lives

Jackie hefted a larger piece of rubble off Sadism and saw...he was still breathing. Fluttershy was still Sadism.

"What? I...I can't move!" Sadism said painfully

"Huh..." Jackie noticed two lights pouring from Sadism's wounded chest. "Purple and Yellow?" Jackie thought aloud. He reached a hand inside and pulled out two small orbs, one purple, one yellow.

"What're those?" AJ asked.

"If I had to guess...Sadism and Fluttershy." Jackie picked up the dead body of Sadism and carried it over to Celestia. "Any way to fix this thing up?"

"No, sadly. The body is dead, completely dead, no way to heal it." Celestia choked out. Jackie stared at the orbs intensely, thinking.

"She's dead?" Rainbow was in tears again.

"In a sense." Jackie was putting something together, a plan of sorts.

"What do you mean?" Twilight was intrigued.

"Well, you see the orbs, the purple one is Sadism, a piece of the Darkness, the other is yellow, Fluttershy, Sadism can't die because he is not physically able to, he is not a physical form capable of death. When he took over Fluttershy, he pushed her into a non-physical form, making her not capable of death. I removed them from the body, so they'd survive, while they can't die themselves, they can die if they are in physical form.

Basically, I can now make Fluttershy a part of the Darkness, but I'm not going to. Sadism in one hand, Fluttershy in the other, I plan on getting rid of Sadism and keeping Fluttershy until something can be done about her." Jackie explains.

"How is that possible?" Twilight was dumb-founded. "And how will you discard of 'Sadism'?"

"He can't take control of anyone unless they let him in. Celestia, do you think you could bury this somewhere far underground? As in hundreds of miles?" Jackie asks

"I suppose I could." Celestia sniffles.

"Jackie, I have an Idea!" Chrysalis starts.

"What is it?" Jackie tossed Sadism to Celestia, who placed it in the safe-box originally used for the Elements.

"Remember when Fluttershy was first taken by Sadism? He made her look different simply by being in charge of her body. You could make one of your Darklings and tell it to let Fluttershy take control of it, it should re-form into that of Fluttershy and BOOM. Problem solved." Chrysalis smiles smugly.

"That's...genius!" Jackie exclaims.
