The Shadow Emipre

The next morning, Pinkamena awakes alone.  Raven wasn't with her.  She was wondering were he couldn't went. was.

"Hmm".

She gets out bed.

"Raven, where are you"?

Just then heard a female voice.

"He's in the throe room dear".

"Huh"?

She turned to were the voice came and saw a dragpony with a grey coat a black and red mane and tail.  Her dragon made her stick out.

"What the"?  Pinkamena said in surpise.

"I suppose I should introduce my self.  I'm Blood Dawn,  Raven Star mother".

"Your his mother"?

"Uhum".

"I-its an pleasure to meet you".

She saw two dragons in the corner of the room.  One was black with red spikes and wings.  The other was all white with blue wings.

Raven is in the throe room with Cloudy and Ruby.  He was pretty spooked about something.

"Really? i'll go see him".

"Ya, I think that would be good idea dear.  He won't tell me or the dragon brothers anything".

Pinkamena  gets out of bed and goes in the throe room,

"Hey, whats the matter Raven"?

He doesn't notice her at first.

"Hey, tell me what got you so spooked"

"I saw him

Pinkamena looked confused.

"Who"?

"He knows about us.

"What are you talking about"?

"No father no".  Raven started shaking.

"What did you see, tell me".

Cloudy puts a claw on her shoulder

"I think you need to know something that he left out.  Come with me for a minute."

"I belive your husband came here last night.  We feat a decion in our barrier.

Hahaha, nonsense.doesn't know where I'm".

"PINKAMENA.  sigh sorry"

Pinkamena stood there wide eyed at the dragon tone.

"There is only one pony in the world that can spook Raven like this, and that is Night Fire.

"I must go now, the plan is about to start, and no hes not".

"That's how he killed Raven's father, and tortured him".

"After the mission is done, I'll leave him and he will leave me too"

Then were will u go?  Your husband mission is not what you think.  He really wants to kill Raven.

Pinkamena was getting annioed.

"His mission is my mission, kill Celestia".

Pinkamena you leave here, and everything you see will be gone".

Pinkamena was start yo rumble in denillon.

"Also he won't kill raven unless some pony puts a bounty on him."

"You don't get it, Blood.  Show Pinkamena the truth.

Blood uses her horn and pushes to your head.  Flashes of memories flash by.  Her mind starts to see the truth about Night Fire his true intebnsion are.

"What?

After what feat like a hour the meomery's fade.

Pinkamena was speechless.  She saw everything.  The lies.  She didn't want to think.

"Impossible".

Cloudy steps forward to speak.

"So are you still going leave? Or are you going to stay and help use"?

But i'm so close to my mission".

"There is no mission dear.  Night Fire is really a shadow aliacorn.  Only an alicorn can kill another.

"Then why did he agree to help me kill Celestia if he really wants Raven"?

"Its a cover story.  he knew that you befriended Raven.  If You leave You will be giving him what u wants"

Pinkamena didn't know who to side with.  She started to shake.

"This was planned before i meet Raven".

"He know ahead of time that your paths would meet.

"What am I supposed to do now?  The mission is today".

"Its your choice if you true love my son.  You would stay here".

She toke a deep breath.

"I want to see Raven again".

"Go ahead in".  Cloudy said letting her though.

She enters the throe room again.  Raven had settled down and was sitting the throe.

"Raven, remember what we agreed on"?

"That won't matter, if you leave this kingdom.   It will be gone, and i'll be dead

"I'm going to stay here".

Raven eyes widen.

"Really".

Pinkamena smiled ans nodded

A tear of joy falls from Ravens eyes and he hugs her tight.  Blood and Cloudy come in.

Pinkamena hugs Raven for what feat like forever.

"Thank you".  Blood whispers in her ear.

Crystal runs up and hugs you to

"Aright if the mission is today, we need to prepare".  Cloudy said

"So whats your plan"?

"We need to draw him out . Blood said

"How?

"You".

"You are gonna draw him here".

"I don't think that will work". Pinkamena said.

"Okay, well what do you think will".  Cloudy said in an angry tone

I don't know".

Just then the sky got dark.

"Huh, night already?

"Damn he's here".  Blood said as a shadow aliacorn appeared.

Pinkamena, Blood, Ruby and Cloudy place them selves in front of Raven.

Pinkamena! we had a deal"!  Night Fire said

Will the deal is off, now go away".

Night Fire shoots a beam on Pinkamena.

"ACK!! Yelps in pain.

"NOOOOOOOO"!  Raven yelled

"You're next!  Night Fire says to Raven

"Hehe HAHAHA"!!

Raven looked to the pink mare.

Night Fire prepares another beam.

"NOW DIE"!!

The shadow aliacorn shoots the beam and Pinkamena.

Nooo"  Raven shots a beam of his own at Night

"GIVE IT UP RAVEN, I ALREADY WON!!  HAHAHA, YOU'RE JUST AS WEAK AS YOUR FATHER.  I remember how he screamed in agony when I ended him.  it was satisfying.  Now you share the same fate.  I cant wait to hear you scream in pain, hehehe"

"No I'll will kill you Night.  There is one thing you already failed at".

"Ya, and what is that weakling"?

You failed to keep Pinkamena.  She had a choice to pick between you or me, and she choose me aghhh"!

Raven was stabbed

A beam of light shot towards Night.

"What"?!  Night said

Night dodges the beam of light.

"WHERE DID THAT COME FROM"?  Night said

"No matter, I killed my target, now to destroy the castle.

Just then Night was stabbed from behind.

"AAAH!! WHAT THE?!   WHO DID THAT?!

"You wanna know what that light was

Raven appeared behind Night.

"What?!

Blood dripping from Ravens horn.

"Grrr, WOULD YOU DIE ALREADY"!!  Night yelled

Night shoots multiple beams.  One beam headed towards Pinkamena.  It was about to hit her but someone stood in the way of it.

Pinkamena opened her eyes and saw that Blood was standing in front of her.  The beam went straight threw her chest.

"Blood, what did you do?!

Agghh she coughs up blood.  Night Fire gets close to Blood and pushes her out of the way and picks up Pinkamena with his dark magic.

"NOOOOOOO".

"LET ME GO"!!

"STOP"! Raven yells.

"You are coming with me, a punishment is waiting for you.

"NOO!  Pinkamena yells

"NIGHT, TAKE ME".  RAVEN YELLED

Night disappears with Pinkamena.  They reappears on the the top of the castle.  Night places a barrier around the castle.

The dark aliacorn throws Pinkamena on the ground.

"ACK"!

"Why did u bray me?  You could have been princess of Equestria.  Instead you side with that pathetic weakling

Because ruling Equestria alone is no fun to me, and i love Raven".

"How can u love a weakling"

"At least this weakling spent more time with me then you did".

Pinkamena surprises Night Fire by taking a knife to stab him in the neck and horn.

"But you're weaker".

Pinkamena stabs Nigh Fire in the chest.

"Aghh why you".

Pinkamena goes after his eyes.

The dark aliacorn screams in pain.

"Aghhh my eyes saghh"  Night screams.

Pinkamena stabs him in the chest and opens it, and grabs the heart.

"Give your heart to me hon".  She says as pulls out his heart.

The Alicorn fell to the ground.

HeheHAHAHA! tired already? you must be cause you're quite dead.

She rips off his horn and the barrier disappears.

Raven runs up to her to make sure she was okay  She was now tried

"Hows Blood?  Ids she okay"?

Raven didn't answer. They went back down to the throe room were the others were around Bloods body.  Rudy, Cloudy and Crystal were crying.

Pinkamena, come here dear".  Blood said

She went to her.

"I need you to promise one thing for me"?

"Save your strength".

"NO. promise me you will take are of my son.  Your love for each other is very strong".

"I pinkie promise".

Blood toke her last breath.
