The Taraxippus Equestrian Darkness

Punches in the eye, multiple kicks at the stomach, Rarity's nails scratching on Eclipse's arms, neck, and torso.

"Tell us why did you kill us! Don't make me do these things again Eclipse, talk!" Applejack demanded, while Eclipse is suffering with his breathing and he tried to stand up but all he did was laugh, and layed down on the ground.

"You'll never be saved, you can't be saved, no one can and nothing can" Eclipse giggled, but he burst out laughing really loud. Rarity scratched Eclipse's eye as he screamed, and stomped on his left side.

"Gah... I will never talk!" Eclipse said giving the forty-sixth time to deny his interrogation.

"Where do you think I should aim this time Applejack? His legs, so he won't be able stand? Slice open his throat to see him gurgle on his own blood so he won't talk? Oh, that one is better! I'm going to enjoy myself tonight!" Rarity said, she laughed insanely getting ready to strike her perfect nails but Applejack held onto her wrist.

"Sorry Rarity, if you do that then we won't get any answers, you want to upset our friends, Spike and Sweetie Belle?" Applejack said she let Rarity's hand go and stepped back, she crossed her arms with a serious look. Rarity calmed down and started to feel worst, after she died all she felt was anger and revenge to kill her murderer, and now... she feels like she is loosing herself to something. When Applejack mentioned Rarity's sister, she remembers what its like to be there for her and the only one living with her... she loves Sweetie Belle as much as she loves her friends, and the picture that Sweetie created made her realize... love is what makes us human and part of who we are.

Rarity looked down and sighed, "You're right Applejack... I feel like I am becoming one of them, and I can't seem to control myself anymore" she said she took a few steps back and looked at Eclipse with rage. Applejack walked up to Eclipse and placed a foot on his chest, "I'm warning you Eclipse, if you won't talk then we have to go beyond than this" Applejack said Eclipse looked at her with wide eyes again and realized what she meant, "you don't mean..." Eclipse whimpered and started to shake at his cold bloody body, he can't heal fast enough because he has been separated from his brother Grim around two to three hours ago.

"Bulk Biceps... teach him a lesson!" Applejack shouted, the muscular white body builder man and dark gold hair walked up past Applejack his white aura surrounded him; he smiled and popped his knuckles.

Eclipse tried to stand up but he is loosing a lot of blood and feeling weak, he tried to rise up a hand to tell Bulk to stop.

"Alright fine! I'll talk! I'LL TALK!" Eclipse begged when Bulk was about to punch him in the face, Eclipse closed his eyes and Bulk stopped when Applejack snapped her fingers.

"Good, let's begin with the beginning of your story and don't stop until the end unless I say so" Applejack said Bulk walked backwards into the crowd of lost spirits of the entire school body.

"And I understand that if I don't... too many punches, kicks and bruises. I get it" Eclipse said placing his raised hand to his left eye, he closed his eyes and tried to remember the first thing that came to his mind about the beginning of his time.

"Twelve centuries ago... my brother Grim and Comet found a way to rule your friend's world, we killed every last innocent ponies and let the insane ones to roam freely. After that we accomplished that, Grim thought more than that, he wants to build an army to not just rule the land but to rule every dimension and every reality... so he can be the ultimate king, as Comet and I as the leading princes. I know when I feel in love with my girlfriend, Cynder Dusk... I loved her, but I never knew that I feel in love with the light" Eclipse said until Applejack cut him off, "so that is your weakness? No wonder! But why does your girlfriend matter though?" Applejack asked him, "because... Rarity looks exactly like her" Eclipse answered and shocked Rarity she put a hand over her mouth and how she remembered the kiss, a reason.

"I don't understand..." Applejack said looking worried and looked down.

"The light is our weakness, darkness is not supposed to be in love with the light, but my girl Cynder Dusk was murdered and I planned to take revenge! On the elements of harmony" Eclipse said.

Everyone stepped back from the horrors Eclipse had revealed to every spirit. Rarity began to cry while Applejack placed hands on her shoulders. "But, revenge don't make anything better Eclipse, taking revenge is something that no one wants to do. We would be evil if we did, and no one will trust that person again. Walking away and never... ever transform into a monster. Sunset Shimmer has been feeling regret for almost two years ever since her darkness transformed into a she-demon. What I'm trying to say, revenge makes things even worst and it will never end" Applejack said almost proving a point to Eclipse but he shook his head, he tried to stand up "you don't get it don't you?" Eclipse asked her she looked a little confused.

"It makes us stronger, and we never cared for friendship and forgiveness...enemies and hatred is the best part! Isn't that all of you guys know already? Friends are far away when the enemy crosses the line, after all... keep your friends close..." Eclipse walked up towards Applejack by the eyes, "...keep your enemies even closer" Eclipse finished.

Two shadows swept past the door when Eclipse noticed its his brothers, he tried to run towards it and call for help but he fell in front and almost screamed when Rarity helped him stand up and cover his mouth from screaming, but he was strong as Applejack and Bulk came towards him and tried to pin him down against the chalk board. Eclipse mumbled loudly but Bulk punched him at his cheek hard and passed out.

"Trixie and Thunderlane tie him up with ropes and get some tape on his mouth, we are going to war, since that is what they want, they will get their war" Applejack said and walked away with Rarity by her side.

"What are going to do with him? We barely got any answers after Bulk knocked him out,” Rarity said with a puzzled look.

"True, but I don't see why you have an ancestor that looks like you, and to be honest about that... I feel like Twilight and Sunset are part of it as well. And the other part, we need to bring him to the survivors so he could still explain some more details. I gave Eclipse the benefit of the doubt" Applejack said as Bulk carried Eclipse, he is breathing like he is suffering from oxygen, or taking sharp breaths.

"Stay on alert, they might be anywhere" Applejack said walking through the door with Rarity and the others.

Eclipse woke up in a different room, with the same cuts, the bruises, and the incredible pain.

"Bastards" Eclipse whispered and mumbled he tried to stand up and walk by the door to find his brothers and his father. Someone punched Eclipse and realized he's still being interrogated, and still a hostage he fell back on the ground. Eclipse tried to feel his hands and realized tape on his mouth and ropes on his wrists he tried to stand up.

Spike began to growl and came face to face between a dog and Eclipse Blight.

"Spike, kneel" Twilight said as he walked backwards slowly and still growling. Eclipse sighed heavily and looked away, thinking about wanting to get away and be left alone. Eclipse felt like he had enough for this much torture, and just... wanting to live, a tear trailed down his painful cheeks. Twilight Sparkle walked up to him with a demanding and angry expression, "we need to know what are you boys planning to do to our world, and we need more answers. Now talk" Twilight said her hands on her hips, Eclipse didn't say anything or even looked at her but she feels that something is wrong and somehow needing to comfort him, he cried out as loud as he could and let his tears stain his cheeks.

Fluttershy walked up but Twilight placed a hand on her shoulder, "he could be tricking you to hurt you, are you sure Fluttershy?" she asked her, Fluttershy looked at Twilight with scared and worried eyes.

"He had enough, at least give him a break,” Fluttershy said as she walked up to him, she knelt down and hugged Eclipse, and she shushed him to calm down.

"I'm done!" Eclipse said mumbling behind the tape, fresh blood trailed down his left eye and mixed with his warm tears.

"Eclipse, please don't say that" Fluttershy said hugging him tighter... and something Eclipse never felt before in centuries and all of his life... he was cold, no one ever cared for him except himself, he never felt... so warm, he never felt loved but all he knows... he has been alone for a very, very long time. Eclipse slowed down his heart rate, and let the pain consume him so he can be calm and soon Twilight and her friends hugged Eclipse, he felt warmer and he couldn't stop his tears.

"This is going to hurt for the last time, Eclipse" Twilight said fingering the edge of the tape and ripped it off, he panted.

"Why do you girls care about me?" Eclipse asked any of them looking around to see that they are snuggling against him; he felt his cheeks get warm.

"Friends are important, but sometimes the enemy needs to know what to realize and care for others" Twilight said, as Eclipse slowed down his breathing and he looked down to see a girl with blue, purple and pink hair but soon... he realized who it might be. Nightfall Gloom, Grim's lost girlfriend, Eclipse tried to think of what to say and to change the subject, he blinked.

"Nightfall Gloom, is that you?" Eclipse asked the blue hair girl and soon she looked up at him, "who are you talking about?" Twilight asked him and he quickly stood up and paced around the room, breaking the big bond, he is trying to think bigger.

"Nightfall Gloom... Eve Shade... Cynder Dusk... it doesn't make any sense... ancestors? No... maybe...gah... think big, think big... is it like repeated history?" Eclipse whispered to him trying to figure things out, to see the connections and see the...

Repeated history... "Why is it getting all out of hands right now? First Twilight Sparkle looks like Nightfall Gloom, Sunset Shimmer looks like Comet's girl Eve Shade, and Rarity looks like Cynder Dusk... what the hell is happening? But most of all... are they the ancestors of our girlfriends?" Eclipse remembers what Grim said, "I should have told you boys this a long time ago... we were never evil" Eclipse remembers what Requiem said he looked up to see a window and walked up towards it, for the first time ever he didn't know what he looked like... a green glow surrounded him entirely. When Eclipse feels like he found his own soul, he feels like he needs to change it, no wonder why Requiem was talking about his family's history... "I never knew the dark can marry the light,” he thought more clearly and it seems to make complete sense, when Requiem married Selena, it transformed the brothers to fall in love with the... elements of harmony... only three elements are the keys.

Nightfall Gloom is the key to massive destruction and known to be a bomb for war, Eve Shade is the key to fallen demon to rebirth evil, and the final is known to be their way out of the shadows of darkness... Cynder Dusk. Cynder Dusk. More importantly Nightfall ended up committing suicide, so Grim can move on and Eve Shade ended up doing the same thing, but Cynder... she was murdered by the real and legendary Star Swirl. Eve Shade's death was a myth, because it wasn't her who got murdered it was faked when Star Swirl was at her death scene... it was Cynder...Eclipse's girlfriend... and he killed Rarity because she is linked to Cynder, and they are trapped forever.

"Oh god..." Eclipse whispered he looked at the door and at the others, they know they can't let him escape. Thunder roared from the echoing winds outside the windows, light flashes of lightning struck the sky in seconds.

"I can't stay..." Eclipse said calmly.

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked Eclipse, taking a few steps forward.

"My family is in danger..." Eclipse answered, "and we are in danger what's the risk? And what did you figure out?" Twilight asked twice, demanding answers.

"Princess Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer and Rarity are three dimensional keys, not just dimensional, fates. Sunset Shimmer is the key to the rebirth of darkness and evil, but her third side is light and she has the power to transform into a real but fearsome demon. My brothers and I sensed one key that has been emerged, the pure darkness of power.

Twilight Sparkle is the key to war between both sides of good and evil, one gateway to set us free from our trapped prison as Taraxippus, we were made as Taraxippus we weren't born as them, you are the key that only one side that gets to win, good or evil.

Rarity is the element of generosity, a second key that leads to our freedom from our darkest hell, once generosity is given away... we are free, when death takes it away... trapped forever to rot in our personal hell. I didn't realize it until now, because it is a known mistake from my actions... one-way to stay evil forever, another for generosity to be set free... or war. What my brothers chose first... war, and when we arrived in this world Grim thought it was the perfect place to begin... but I felt that magic was already here and I didn't warn him but he soon found the place powerless, the dark key plugged next, since we have been this way for centuries... now the last key has arrived... war is the biggest plan Grim and Comet are planning for the last thing on our agenda, for eternal darkness. We killed your classmates because they will be the army to strike and invade every different dimension, and every reality. Now... we won't stop until we get what we came for... what we were made for. Insanity, slaughter, chaos, riots, and every insane word I can think of. War is the scariest part because we can't fight yet because of our powers, our remain magic are in our wrist bands only Comet and I, but Grim has the leading magic left and now its stronger" Eclipse explained and took a deep breath, the pain sank deeper in his wounds he grunted when his injuries are deep.

"That sounds... horrible" Fluttershy said and Eclipse nodded.

"We define horrible, Fluttershy. Now I regret everything I did, every last action I took... now I want to disappear" Eclipse said feeling dizzy and landed on his knees, Twilight helped him up.

"Don't say that Eclipse, we may feel that we regretted everything but it can be forgotten if we get a happy life. Leave the disaster behind, and don't look back... I learned a lot of lessons that you might want to know too. I don't know if you might understand them, but I am sure you would" Twilight said when Eclipse thought of something in the next second.

"Why do you care?" Eclipse asked Twilight for an obvious answer.

"Some things are meant to be cared for and some things are meant to be forgotten when bad things happen" Twilight answered when Eclipse thought about her words, and it seems to make sense.

"I still need to leave, they are still looking for me" Eclipse said standing up and headed for the door, Rainbow Dash blocked his way her eyes seems to know something else is wrong.

"For what?" Rainbow asked Eclipse when he looked down and closed his eyes, "its nothing" Eclipse said taking one step forward.

"Oh its something, we are missing two people. Sunset Shimmer and Flash Sentry, where are they?" Rainbow demanded, her eyes are deadlocked to his yellow eyes.

"They're safe" Eclipse said.

"Lies" Rainbow said.

"Its the truth" Eclipse said.

"Flash Sentry walked out of the door like it was no big deal, and his body language says everything. Flash isn't Flash!" Rainbow said.

"How can you tell?" Eclipse said.

"Because I am his friend!" Rainbow protested.

"Yeah right" Eclipse raised his voice, madly.

"Sunset Shimmer disappeared without a trace! Someone was spying on us, and obviously Flash kidnapped her" Rainbow said, raising her voice like Eclipse.

"Its not my fault" Eclipse said his eyes met with Rainbow's in one inch.

"That's because, Flash was a spy, he was spying on us because he knows where are we. Your brothers are going to kick down this door and attack us, with Sunset gone with them. Choosing someone to be a sacrifice, and obviously when you said that Sunset was a key to dark power they took her to raise an army against us!" Rainbow explained and soon... Eclipse didn't reply, like she found out the truth.

"Is this true Eclipse?" Twilight asked him he looked down with his eyes closed, he nodded.

"Oh my god..." Fluttershy whispered her hands over her mouth.

"I think I heard something over here!" shouted Grim said as Eclipse opened his eyes wide, his cuts slowly healed and feeling stronger he smiled. Twilight and Rainbow looked at Eclipse with evil expressions, "what time is it? We have been running for hours!" Grim asked his brother, their shadows swept really fast past the doors.

"Its... one forty three. Damn it we were supposed to meet dad an hour ago, the portal won't work!" Comet said panting and grunting. Fluttershy realized something, dad? Could it be... Flash Sentry? Fluttershy thought and also remembered what Rainbow said that seems to be true. Flash kidnapped Sunset to open up a portal, the green lightning he mentioned connects to right now. Fluttershy begins to whisper in Twilight's ear of what she thinks is really happening, and Twilight wasn't happy about it.

"How can we keep on going without looking in each room?" Comet asked Grim, when their voices trailed down the hall with footsteps and faded away in the distance. In just a few minutes, everyone took a breath and moved around with small movement and sounds.

"Our only purpose is to rule the worlds with darkness, that is what we only know" Eclipse finally spoke with a seven-minute silent treatment. Rainbow looked defeated in a stare competition.

"Things like that is normal and I don't care about fighting with words, because words means nothing, actual fights means something all because it is action and once we take action... something to do again and still move on" Eclipse said kicking his leg against Rainbow's side to push her away and tried to get his hands on the door knob and tried to walk away. Rainbow closed the door and looked at Eclipse with a strange and worried look.

"You can't walk away, you still need help" Rainbow said almost sounded begged.

"Who needs help when being... alone and being alone is better than we thought?" Eclipse said aiming his shoulder against Rainbow and felt a hand on his other shoulder; he looked around to see... Rarity looking at him so innocent, Eclipse looked at Rarity her white aura radiance against the darkness; she placed a hand on his cheek.

"You loved me? You cared about me? All along and I didn't see it? You’re a gentleman Eclipse. Why walking away when a heart bled... just for you?" Rarity said her tears dropped down and faded away.

"I never risked it... all because... I couldn't tell if you... loved me back the way you looked so... stupidly beautiful" Eclipse said as everyone looked confused, "Rarity said things that she never knew before, loved her, cared for her, a gentleman... and she felt the same thing when a heart was bleeding" Spike said just so everyone can tell what did Eclipse meant when something was talking to him.

"I think... I believe... all of you changed me, and it somehow doesn't feel right" Eclipse said turning around

"That is what Sunset Shimmer felt the first time when I helped her to see herself on the other side, her heart changed and she changed for quite a long time" Twilight said standing up to join in the conversation.

"How long did it take?" Eclipse asked his eyes closed; please don't let it be a year or so, please! Eclipse thought.

"A year, but over the months she knows the reasons and lessons about friendship" Twilight answered, Eclipse sighed.

"...I'm going to be a double agent on this I guess..." Eclipse breathed, he seems to be giving up on his past life.

Everyone gasped, some of them cheered, and some of them disagree on his choice. Eclipse still doesn't care about friendship but this is a good start for him to realize what's for the best and the worst.

"Are you thou sure about changing your side against your brothers, and your... father?" Luna asked while Eclipse tried to think straight, and tried to think of what his feelings are telling him. Eclipse's emotions didn't change him yet, he tried to ignore the fact about not killing the remaining survivors... he nodded.
