Black Arms Return

Shadow jumped into the air and grabbed onto the tail of a Black Hawk, even with the added weight from the hedgehog it still remained in flight, however it now began to swerve in an attempt to get the hedgehog off its back. Shadow managed to keep his grip and climbed onto the bird like monster's back, before grabbing the two horns on its head. Shadow noticed the building that they were heading straight for and began to pull back on the Black Hawk's horns.

"Go up! Go up!" Shadow shouted, as the Black Hawk began to fly straight upwards. Even though it had begun to fly upwards it still made contact with the building, shaking the two. The ponies of this town watched in disbelief, many unsure if this thing was friend or foe.

"Is he insane!?" Twilight asked and watched as Shadow continued to rise upwards, before reaching and pulling one of the wings against the creature's body. It let out shrieks and screeches as it began to plummet towards the ground, and at the last second Shadow leapt off, and the Black Hawk slammed onto the planet's surface and a loud splat was heard. Shadow landed on his feet and turned back to face the puddle of green goo that was once the Black Hawk. Shadow leapt from building to building attacking any and all Black Arms forces that he encountered. They really had little chance of beating him.

"Come on! Why are you all weak suddenly?" Shadow asked, hoping that this would at least be fun. However he felt a massive fist make contact with his back, slamming him away. Shadow got onto his feet and faced the giant. He held up the jewel, but he began to pulse with a red aura.

"What the...?" Twilight began but was cut off when Shadow shouted something, with the entire attack group huddled around him.

"CHAOS BLAST!" A red explosion to began to force its way past the Black Arms killing them instantly, however it didn't stop there, many of the buildings around Shadow were being destroyed as well. Many of the buildings where ponies had taken shelter from the attack and were now fearful of being killed in this massive explosion that threatened them. However it stopped, leaving Shadow standing in the middle of a scorched circle of grass, with bricks and wood falling to the ground around him.

"Are you mad?! Does thou know how many of our subjects thou hast put in danger?!" Luna asked, furious at the hedgehog.

"Would you rather I stood around and let them slaughter your subjects?" Shadow asked, which made the princess cringe.

"You are a danger to Equestria!" Luna shouted.

"I'm the only hope Equestria has!" Shadow yelled back, but a laughing was soon made aware.

"Yes. Destroy each other... You'll only make our job easier." A large creature floated above them all. On each side if its head was a horn, it wore tattered robes with several different charms hanging around its neck, its thee fingered hands ended in small, but sharp claws. Finally its eyes were what was most unsettling. It had three eyes forming a triangle, but only the top one had a slit pupil.

"You..." Shadow muttered, tightening his grip on the Chaos Emerald.

"You little traitor! Why would you fight back against me? ME that had given you life! ME that had attempted to help you along your destiny! ME that allowed you to relive your moments with Maria!" The alien said, curling its fingers into fists.

"You may have given me life, but you tried to make me into a monster like you! You may have let me see Maria again, but you made me relive her death! You are nothing but an evil that needs to be wiped out!" Shadow shouted, jumping at the alien, but it began to float to the side and disappeared.

"I will break you... Then you'll join me... You'll see..." It said, while it spoke it began to sound further and further away.

"All right Shadow. You got some splaining to do." Rainbow Dash said, pointing a hoof at him.

"That was Black Doom, the alien that gave his DNA to help create me. He's the leader of the Black Arms..." Shadow answered, which made them all go silent. Shadow turned and began to walk back into the library while Spike poked his head out the door.

"Is the alien war over?" he asked, but they shook their heads. "Ok." he slowly moved back inside, which made Shadow sigh.

"Why do I feel like I'm the only sane one here?" Shadow asked himself. When he was given strange looks he shouted "Being extremely violent doesn't make someone insane. Have you just forgotten the fact that I saved all of you? This town would have been all dead, ever single pony here would have been slaughtered had I not stepped in!" Shadow shouted, which made Luna angry once again.

"You nearly killed several of our subjects with your energy blast! We know that you are dangerous and must be locked away before you destroy or kill an innocent!" Luna yelled, but Shadow had heard enough. He slammed his elbow into her stomach and when she fell he kicked her in the jaw. Everypony else was too shocked to move, to shocked to act. Shadow lifted Luna's head up, she now was bleeding from her mouth and her right eye was swollen shut.

"Shut... Up..." Shadow said before kicking her throat and walking away.

"He's not insane?" Was all that Rarity said, breaking the silence.
