Darkness in the Heart

Light and Applejack walked up to the small cottage on the edge of the creepy forest. "Alrighty," said Applejack, "This is where Fluttershy lives. Hopefully she's in there."

Light creaked the door open; it was already slightly ajar. "Is anypony in here?" she called out. There was no reply. She expected that, considering the house had no obvious signs of any life being in there. She pulled herself out and went up to Applejack. "She's not in there." Then, they heard a sound from behind the house. "Well, maybe she is out back instead of inside."

They abandoned the front door and walked to the back of the house. They heard some chickens going crazy inside of the chicken coop. They jumped over the fence surrounding the area for animals. The two ponies walked up to the chicken coop. Light opened the door and peaked inside silently. They saw a yellow mare with a pink mane, handling (Actually, pretty much the opposite of that; she was doing a very horrible job) a bunch of chickens. "Stupid chickens!" the mare yelled.

Light whispered, "Is that her? She doesn't seem very nice to me."

Applejack whispered back, "That is her, but ah guess that the evil stuff made her mean."

Just then, something popped up besides them. It was a little portal. It was dark for a second, but then they saw the other side. There was a fully black stallion standing in a palace. "Hello, sister." he said.

"Hello, brother," Light mumble through her teeth.

"That's your brother?" whispered Applejack to Light.

"Yes, I am her brother, Applejack," Dark said, a bit disgruntled.

"H-how do you know name?" asked Applejack.

"I'm the one who darkened you. I decided I should meet the Elements in person. I was able to, and, obviously, I met you. You were one of the tougher ones to darken, but I guess it wasn't really worth it if my sister so easily lightened you. And yes, I did watch the whole thing. Pathetic. Anyway, let me get to the reason I'm contacting you. In there is Fluttershy, as you may know. When I looked into her heart, she had tiniest amount of darkness I've ever seen. But, that tiny amount was also the most powerful amount of darkness I've ever seen. So, I actually almost killed myself trying to make there be more darkness than light. But it was so damn worth it. She was totally evil; hay, she might be thinking up a plot to destroy everything in the universe right now. But, she did have very strong light as well. But, since there's more darkness, she's evil. Anyway, that's it. Bye." The portal then quickly faded away.

"Well, that sucks," Light said, "She's going to be tough to purify if she has so tough darkness."

"But, he did say she had some tough light also," Applejack said. "Maybe that counteracts it."

Light sighed and said, "When I purify her, I'll probably pass out when I'm done, since she has the tough darkness. Just let me have some air and I should be fine." Applejack nodded. Right then, the door slammed open, and it almost hit Light in the head.

"WHO THE HELL IS TALKING OUT HERE?!" yelled Fluttershy. She saw Applejack and Light. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?!"

Light said, "We want you. Not this evil you. We want the real you."

Fluttershy said, very loudly but not as loudly as before, "What the hell are you talking about?!" The yellow mare shook her head. "It doesn't matter; I'm going to kill you both anyways!" She then quickly leaped into the air with her wings and dive-bombed Light. Light flapped her wings and flew into the air; Fluttershy hit her head on the wood. That's got to have hurt. She landed right on her head. It took her a moment, but Fluttershy got up, rubbing her head. Light landed from flight in front of her. "Please, stop, we're trying to help-" Fluttershy interrupted with an angry mix between a moan and a yell. Fluttershy charged right at Light, but Light dodged to the side.

When she was done with her charge, Fluttershy prepared for another one, but she appeared to have gotten a sharp headache. "No, stop!" she yelled in her regular, sweet voice. She had her hooves on her head, and she was screaming and scrambling around.

Applejack said, "Her good side must be fightin' back!"

Maybe I can take advantage of this situation. Maybe I nor Applejack should fight her... but maybe she will fight herself. "Maybe..." she mumbled. "Hey, Applejack!" she yelled. "Maybe if you try to spark a memory of her good side, she'll fight back! Try just to make her remember you!"

"Um, Light, are y'all sure that's gonna work?"

"Aha! I have no idea!"

Applejack shrugged and went up to Fluttershy. "Look, Flutters! It's me, Applejack! Remember me? We were great friends, along with everypony else."

"A-Applejack? Wh-wh-" Fluttershy got a spark in her eyes and was motionless for a couple seconds. Suddenly, sudden enough to scare Light and Applejack, she started screaming. She had her hooves on her head again and was scrambling everywhere again. "Stop!" she was yelling. "Get out of my head!"

Light decided that was the perfect situation to use the spell. She flew up into the air and created the ball of light. She motioned them inward and sent it flying into Fluttershy's chest. Inside of her heart, the light grew and grew until it incredibly over-numbered and overpowered the darkness. There was crossing out, then the spell was done; however, the spell too longer than when Light did it to Applejack, so it took more energy. Both Light and Fluttershy fell to the ground, whiting out.

Light woke up on a couch inside of some house she assumed that it was Fluttershy's cottage. Light moaned and looked around and saw Fluttershy, who was standing next to Applejack. "Oh, you're awake," Fluttershy said.

Light said, "Yeah, I am. Anything special happen while I was unconscious?"

Applejack said, "Nah. Ah just brought you two inside and waited for you both to wake up. Fluttershy woke up about ten minutes ago, and, even though I disagreed, she decided to make food n' stuff."

Fluttershy said, "Oh, um... I made some carrot soup over there, and you can eat some... if, if that's alright with you."

Light didn't realize how hungry she was. She got up, stretched, then walked over to the table where the soup was. She drank the entire bowl in a couple minutes. "Mmm... that was delicious! Thank you."

Fluttershy said, "Oh, it was the least I could do for you saving me. What is your name, by the way?"

Light said, "My unofficial name is Light, and that's what I'm going to stick by."

"Hello, Light. I'm Fluttershy."

"You're the Element of Kindness, correct?" Fluttershy nodded. I never would have assumed that when she was evil.

"So..." Light said. "I'm saving the Elements. I need to save all six of them, so who should I go to next?"

Applejack said, "Either Pinkie Pie or Rarity. Ah say Pinkie Pie first, because Rarity is a unicorn and uses magic."

Light said, "And what about the other two?"

Applejack said, "There's Rainbow Dash, but she's a fast flier. And Twilight, but she's great at pretty much every kind of magic."

Light had little choice. "I guess I'll go for- what was it?- Pinkie Pie, or whatever it is. She'll be next."

Applejack finished, "Alrigh'. But y'all both should stay here unto you get your energy back."

Light sighed and went back to the couch she woke up on. She lied down. Uh, at this rate, the world will randomly explode before I can even get to my brother.
