Where Magic Awakens Darkness in Canterlot High

As the magic began to fade, the six landed on the ground, gracefully as all of them looked at the lightning bolts colored to each of their magical identities had seemingly faded, Allucard standing with a fear-inspiring cackle.

“Idiots,” the clone said, looking up with his eyes glowing. “You think your precious friendship is magical. Everything is capable of magic, and with hatred, I have now shown you exactly what this magic does!”

The girls stood there, shocked, while William stared in horror, practically seeing this and realizing what had now happened. His vision was already clouded by this presence of his negative emotions, and he fell to his knees, knowing he possibly spawned an entity capable of such destruction.

“Now, you want to see what your ‘magic’ did to me? Behold!” In an instant, Allucard’s muscles began to twitch, his back shuddering as bat wings sprouted from his back, and his hands seemed to glow. The wings spanning four feet for each, he flew up, smiling as he hovered in the air. “Pathetic, thinking that a group form of torture can stop such purity such as myself!”

William, however, cried, seeing what he had created from his mind, what he did to himself, and what he possibly did to others. With his heart’s seams tearing, he stood in front of the six as he looked at them.

“I’m sorry,” he parsed, regretful as they all looked at him with confusion. “I did this, there’s no need for you to get involved.” He said, Twilight looking at the boy with Sunset Shimmer and the rest sharing the same target for sight.

“Don’t worry about apologies now,” Twilight shouted, “I understand you had bad friendships, just trust us now, and we can do this!” The six seemed focused, and Sunset Shimmer nodded.

“We’d all like to be friends with you, if you give us the chance,” Fluttershy added as William looked back. As he stood with them, Twilight looked at the others.

“He’s a normal human, he won’t be able to stand up to that!” Twilight realized, telling her friends this as Allucard screamed down at William.

“You fool, what do you think you are doing?!” Allucard seemed enraged.

“I am going to break you. They say hope is the ultimate strength?” William said with his whole heart and soul hoping for friendship as he clenched his fist. “Well, looks like I didn’t share such a power with you, and without it, you’re the weakest in this field!” Allucard furrowed his brows, sending his wings back as he flew down towards the boy who actually was correct.

“I’ll destroy you, and prove that power is weak!” Allucard snapped at his other half.

With William in the range of such magical beings, his very body began to change, wings softly sprouting from his back like three of the six who had attempted to down his other half before, his filled with feathers though as he stared up at Allucard. The others had also began to hope, and with this, they all looked at him.

“Thank you, all of you. I wouldn’t want to sour any potential bonds and call you my friends just yet,” William said, looking back at all of them, as Pinkie Pie squealed happily, and Applejack nodded.

“I say, after this ordeal, let’s get to know ya a little better. Til then,” Applejack said as William nodded before she could gesture to Allucard.

“William,” Twilight urgently called, “We need you, if you really do have the power of hope, please stand with us.” Recognizing the duty to face his demons and end such a struggle, took use of his wings, oddly flapping them once as he hopped back, landing with them as they all looked to Allucard, who stopped mid-air, clenching his fists as a dark aura formed around it.

“You will not destroy the prefect world!”  Allucard shouted, the very sunset behind them starting to fade as clouds covered the sky, and lightning rung down around the city, rumbled making the ground tremble. With this, the group of friends and one acquaintance of them all joined hands, floating up once again. As the aura changed from rainbow to pure white, William stared ahead, his heart and soul focused on the true hope of his life: to end the reign of his rampant emotions, and to finally have a true friendship. With this powering him, he seemed to glow, holding his hands in front of him as his mind took over, Allucard laughing almost in a demonic tone, sending a dark ball flying to them.

“Time to remember who you are!” Allucard shouted, the ball hurdling towards them. However, William held the small ball of magic in his hands, now a pure, blinding white as he looked at them all.

“Pray that we do have the strength,” William mused as he chucked his arm back, and hurled the magic to Allucard. As it pierced the dark sphere and shredded it, Allucard put his hands in front of him, shouting as contact was made, now screaming as he seemed to be enveloped, the mere remnant being the body without wings as William muttered one sentence; “Stay in my memories, where you belong.”
