The Darkness Lives

"I don't think that little pony could handle hearing the voices in her head"

"She'll be fine." Jackie shrugs

"Who're you talking to, Jackie?" Twilight asks, she had forgotten the Jackie has several voices in his head.

"Ugggh, can't you like, put some sort of amplification spell in my head so you can hear him?" Jackie suggests.

"That would be a neat experiment!" Twilight was excited. She hit Jackie in the temples with a lavender beam and Jackie felt his throat swell a tiny bit. "Well, side effect! By letting whatever is in your head speak, it gave you a second voice-box."

"Fuckin' greeeaaat." Jackie grumbles

"What Darkling should we use?" Rage asks in his evil, dragging voice. Everyone(save Jackie) in the room jumped, the voice they heard was not what they were expecting.

"I think a normal one should suffice." Jackie answered. A Darkling portal opened nearby, letting a single Darkling to pop out.

"Holy me! That thing is horrifying!" Celestia stated as she returned from the other room. The Darkling sat new Jackie as if it was a dog. Jackie held the orb to the Darkling, who took it in his dirty claws.

"Do you hear the voices?" Jackie asks the Darkling. It nodded. "Let those voices enter your mind, believe in them, I don't know."  Jackie shrugs again. The Darkling squints it's eyes at the orb, which grew brighter by the minute.

"Nothings happening" Rage pointed the obvious. The Darkling squeezed the orb a little and it popped like a soap bubble. The ponies, and Chrysalis, gasped. Jackie had a feeling in his gut that told him that this wasn't the end of it.

"Girls? Why are you taller now?" The Darkling asked in the sweet, musical voice of Fluttershy.

"Odd, she is the Darkling now, but still looks like the Darkling. Oh wait, never mind." Jackie smiles when he hears the bones breaking and Fluttershy screaming in pain. (Holy shit that's morbid)

"So, I died?" Fluttershy asks, back to normal, like it never happened.

"In a way. But that's not important." Jackie yawns. "Celestia, where did you put Sadism?"

"Twenty miles underground in a magic resistant bunker." Celestia answered groggily.

"Huh, he shouldn't get out any time soon." Jackie gets up and sits back down beside Chrysalis. "Tell me, house in Ponyville, Morphious, or Canterlot?" He asks her.

"I think Ponyville would be nice." Chrysalis snuggles up to Jackie, "We'd need to get jobs to pay for it though."

"Jobs? I just saved the entire planet, universe maybe, from being destroyed by Sadism, and I still have to get a job? Yep, seems legit." Jackie laughs.

"Don't worry, I'll get you two a house for your troubles." Celestia gets up, "I have stayed up way too late, and need to sleep." She says before walking towards her bed-chamber.

"Well that's nice of her." Jackie puts an arm around Chrysalis.

Jackie and Chrysalis lived happily in their two-story home, payed for by Celestia. Nothing really happened, other than a single Diamond Dog raid, but they were, as to be expected, slaughtered.

Chrysalis had gotten a job as the Ponyville substitute teacher, the foals were scared of her at first of course, but they soon warmed up to her.

Jackie had several odd jobs around Ponyville, fix this, take me there, help me clean, put this thief in his place, you know, slow things.

Jackie had saved up enough bits to buy an engagement ring for Chrysalis and was just trying to think of a way to propose when it happened.

"The Darkness Lives, Jackie. The Darkness lives..."
