Flash and Nox
Chapter 5: The Painful Truth
Previous ChapterNext ChapterFlash and Jack make their way to home Gando Donsan. But when they get there they find the door is lock. "Oh great, doesn't look like anypony home," said Flash as they already knocking, with no answer. Then Jack walks over to the door. "What are you doing, there is nopony home," said Flash,
"Good, we can break in without anypony complain," said Jack, as he grab his 'tools'.
"What, how?" said Flash, as he stood there confused.
"It my Special Talent, I find that I can break any lock with enough time, now go stand watch, I don't want to get caught... again," said Jack as continued to pick the lock.
"Well at least you know your talent, I never find out mine," said Flash as he stood there keeping watch.
"Impossible, you already your cutie mark, therefore you must have some talent," said Jack as he point at Flash's cutie mark. It was a yellow lightning bolt over a blue shield.
"This, I got this..... twelve years ago," said Flash, as voice slowed,
"So you got the same year you left town huh, now I am curious," said Jack, as he turn back the lock, "Hmm, it seem to be more to this lock than it appears to be, it might take me awhile longer than I thought, so we got time how about you tell me what happen," said Jack, as he continued to work. Truth was that Jack was actually stalling for time, because he was now really curious about Flash's unknown past.
"What?! NO!" said Flash, as he took offense,
"Come on Flash, we got time to waste so just tell me what happened twelve years ago," said Jack,
"Fine, but first you tell about why you are rivals with Twilight Sparkle," said Flash,
"What, fine." said Jack, as he got annoyed, "Me and Twilight, always had a dislike toward each other ever since we were in Special Magic School for the Gifted," said Jack,
"How did you get in Special Magic School for the Gifted, I though only unicorn could get into there," said Flash, as he was now curious too.
"Yeah, my father pulled some strings and got me in there, because he want me to get the best education or something like that, it didn't matter I am brilliant either way," said Jack, as he seemed proud, about getting in such a school,
"Well you do seem proud of yourself," said Flash,
"Well it was fun there, until met her, she was so beautiful, I could always get my eye lost in her red mane," said Jack, as he seem to be in a trance,
"Twilight?" said Flash, as he was now really confused, because he had always heard that Twilight Sparkle had a navy blue mane.
"Twilight, NO, NO, ew, NO," said Jack, as he was almost gagging. "Moondancer, I had a crush on this beautiful red mane Unicorn mare named, Moondancer, the only problem is that she was best friends with Twilight Sparkle," said Jack, as continued to pick the lock,
"What, you weren't friends with Twilight," said Flash,
"No, actually, I was once friends with her adopted little brother Spike, but after the accident, she stopped letting him be friends with me," said Jack,
"What kind of accident was it?" said Flash,
"Well you know how Unicorns and Alicorns aren't the only equines who can use magic, that Pegasi, and Earth ponies, can use it too, just in different forms," said Jack,
"Yeah," said Flash,
"Well I was trying to do an experiment where I could show that batpony could use magic as well, and well I got into an argument with Twilight, as she said that it could never work, and I said it could, and the experiment exploded," said Jack,
"WHAT?!" said Flash, as he was taken by surprise,
"Don't worry nopony got hurt, that is unless you count for the fact the explosion lit Twilight's mane on fire," said Jack, as finally he could no longer stall do to fact that he got the door unlock. Luckily Flash did not notice, because Jack was still curious about Flash's past.
"Was Twilight's mane put out?" said Flash,
"Yeah, it was, luckily it wasn't the first time that her mane spontaneously caught on fire, but after that she would no longer trust me around her friends, and that included Spike and Moondancer, and ever since then we been rivals," said Jack, as he opened the door.
"Wow, when did you get done?" said Flash,
"Actually I have been done for while," said Jack,
"What? But it has only been ten minutes," said Flash, as he walked to the door,
"Did I forget to say? I'm 'freakin genius'," said Jack, quoting his catchphrase, as walked in front of the door and block Flash's path.
"What are you doing? I thought we were in a hurry," said Flash, as he stood there.
"Now I have spilt my past now it's your turn," said Jack, as continued to block Flash's path,
"Fine then, The reason I left town..... is because,” Flash took a deep breathe “twelve years ago, my parents died," said Flash, as he pushed Jack out of the way. Flash walked through the doorway trying to hide his face.
"I'm sorry, what happen to them?" said Jack,
"They were murdered, by an unknown pony, with moth wings," said Flash, as tried to hid his tears,
"An unknown pony with moth wings," said Jack, as he stood there in shock, as he had never known a pony to have moth wings.
"Yes, he spoke in a strange language that to this day I can still not figure out what he said when kill them," said Flash,
"When exactly did it happen," said Jack,
"It happen the same day as the mysterious Sonic Rainboom went across the sky, and it was also the same that I receive my cutie mark, I got it by getting my baby brother to safety, while they were killed," said Flash, as they walked through house. "Now my little brother live in the orphanage in town, he was too young at the time to remember what happen, and I was too young at the time to raise my little brother myself, so I left him with the orphanage and then left town, Now the only one from here I keep in contact with is Big Macintosh, through letters, he know my pain, his parents were killed by the same pony, a half year early," said Flash, as they final reach the back room.
"I'm sorry for your loss, the truth is I know the feeling of losing a parent too, I lose my mom when I was young," said Jack. Then they noticed how dark it was getting, "We got get back," said Jack, as he took a stance,
Meanwhile Flash found something, "Hey I found something, look it a map of Canterlot" said Flash, as he pointed at a map.
As they looked. Their faces turn into shock as they realize what Grando Donsan's plan was. "We got hurry," said Jack, as he place his hand on Flash's shoulder and took a stance, preparing to do something.
"Yeah but how do we get there in time," said Flash, as he turn to Jack, not noticing the flash of light that surrounded them for a second. Flash's face turn into to shock as they were all of sudden in outskirts of Ponyville. "How did we get here," said Flash,
"You know that experiment I told you about," said Jack, as he took the stance again, and grabbed Flash again.
"Yeah the one you failed at?" said Flash, as he got worried,
"It was a teleportation spell, and I never said it 'Failed'," said Jack, as the flash of light that surrounded them, and they teleported again. After a few teleportations later, they finally arrived in Canterlot. But it was too late, for when they got there, the two pony find, that Giant Crystals were now trying to covering all of Canterlot.
