When The Darkness Ends

Chapter 2

     We stare at each other long and hard, waiting for the other to make a move.

     Finally, the one identified as Twilight starts the battle. She uses a spell that looked deadly to me, so when she fired it at me, I was quick to my reflects and use my keyblade to defend myself against her magical powers. The spell she fired hit my keyblade, but did not destroy my only chance of fighting. However, my sword absorbed it's powers, making it glow a golden aura. I was shocked, as were they.

     I then heard a voice in my own head.

You hold the mightiest weapon of them all.

     However, the 6 ponies must have heard it as well, for they also lifted their heads to try to observe the noise.  All of a sudden, my keyblade flashed a bright, pure white light.

You gained the power to fight, to defend yourself. Don't be afraid.

     Those lines... they're from the original Kingdom Hearts game! Does this mean...' I looked at the mares in front of me, then I gave them an evil smirk. "FIRE!" I said, pointing my keyblade at them. The tip of the keyblade was forged in a flame, which then proceeded to fire at the ponies in front of me that were trying to defeat me in battle. They leaped backwards in surprise of my sudden magic.

     "H-how d-d-did you DO that spell!?" Twilight asked me in surprise.

     "That... was... AWESOME!" said the one who had the tomboyish accent.

     "If he can do that magic, he must be an evil varmint. Be prepared fer it's next attack."

     Then she lunged at me. I dodged-rolled under her, and then I jumped up, making an upward diagonol slash, hitting her stomach. She fell on the ground pretty rough. I looked back to see the cyan one flying at me with super-sonic speeds. I put up my keyblade to block her, and it hit her snout. She flew backwards, grabbing her snout and muffling in pain. I saw this as an opportunity, and proceeded to jump and make a front-flip-downward cut. Once it hit her, she was knocked back, and stumbled on the ground. I then saw the Twilight and the white one charge their horns, and then they released the energy ball they had created at me.

     I jumped to the side, and then charged at them, with my keyblade behind me, ready to attack them from above. I did a jump stop, then I leaped high off the ground, and did another front-flip-downward slash at them. However, Twilight put up a magic barrier around her and the other ponies. I hit the barrier, and then my keyblade started to charge energy at the tip. It was cackling white, hot electricity, and I was worried for a second.

     The keyblade tip was starting to shoot out bright beams of light again. Then, we were all blinded by the light.

     ...

     ...

     ...

(Stop Music)

     I woke up to the sound of rustling grass. I stood up, tired, and turned to see the six ponies, all of them, lying on the ground, asleep. I quickly grabbed my keyblade and stood up, in case they woke up now. I saw Twilight move, and I got into a defensive stance.

      But I then saw her having trouble standing up, I then dropped my keyblade, and ran to her. As she was about to drop to the ground again, I quickly grabbed her, and helped her up. She looked into my eyes, and I saw fear, danger, and a little of...

     A little bit of love?

     "W-who-who... are you?" She said weakly. I smiled at her, and got her up. I looked into her violet eyes, and noticed that they sparkled so beautifully.

     "My name is-" I was interrupted by the sound of the others moving. I back-flipped, and got into my battle stance. I saw the others, with faces of disgust, fatigue, and anger. I snarled back at them, and there we stood for the other to make a move.

      I stood up and help my hand up. I then pondered how to make a plan to make peace with the animals.

     "Wait. How about we make a truce with each other? No more of this useless fighting. We don't even no each other, so how can we be enemies?" They appeared to agree with me and my truce deal.

     "Alright, but on one condition..." said Twilight.

     I was rather intrigued by this offer, as it was spiking my curiosity. "What is it?"

     "You give me your weapon."

      This I had to decline. "Sorry, but I have to reject." She had a look of disappointment on her face.

      "Why not? Don't you want a truce?"

      "I do, but now I can do this now." I hoped to do the trick where Sora can summon and make his keyblade disappear. I made a sudden movement with my arm and shot it forward. As I had wanted myself to do, the keyblade had disappeared in white and yellow star-covered light. I had a shocking appearance as did they.

     "W-wow. That was amazing, mister!" said Twilight.

     "Thanks, Twilight. So, how about we introduce each other the right way today?" We chuckled a bit, but what scared me was the pink one. She was on a super high sugar rush. When I made that little joke, she cracked up and then went to me in such speed that would make Sonic The Hedgehog impressed.

     "OOOH! This thing is F-U-N-N-Y! HeysinceyournewtoEquestriawhydon'tIthrowyouaparty*gasp*oohawelcometoEquestriapartyyoulikepartiesrightohwhatamIsayingeveryponylikespartiesbye!" Then she blasted off at supersonic speeds I could not even to begin to imagine that were possible. Next, the orange pony walked towards me.

     "Sorry about that, sugarcube. Pinkie Pie can sure be a mess at times. Ah'm Applejack. Nice tuh meet ya'll!" She extended one of her hooves to me, to which I reluctantly shook. She shook her hoof pretty hard, but I was able to let go quickly before she destroyed my hand. "This here's Rainbow Dash, an-" Applejack was cut off by her cyan friend.

     "Hey! I'm Rainbow Dash, ya probably heard of me. Of course you have, I'm the fastest flyer in Equestria!" I grew a cocky smirk.

     "Heh. We'll see later." Big mistake. She then got up in my face with an angry expression. " You callin' me a liar, CHUMP!?" I lightly bit her nose in a playful way. She retracted her nose in an instant. "Hey! What was that for!?" I then decided to tease her.

     "I know you're cute and what not, but I don't like things in my face!" She then had a shocked look with an adorable blush on her face. I laughed at her and smiled. I then turned back to the other ponies. I then laughed again as I observed that they, too, had blushes on their faces as well.

     "Well, who are the rest of you?" Twilight snapped out of here gaze and recollected her senses.

     "O-oh. Yes, well this is Rarity." She then gestured to a white mare that owned a a nice, stylish, indigo mane. She stepped forward and introduced herself.

     "Rarity. A pleasure to meet you darling." She extended her hoof like Applejack had done, but instead of me shaking it, I got to one knee, took her hoof in my hand and kissed it.

     She blushed and said, "My, you sure are a gentlecolt, aren't you?" I raised my eyebrow in confusion.

     "A whaty-what what now?"

     "A gentlecolt. Stallions that have respect for mares."

     "Oh, but then I would be called a gentleman, for the main reason that I'm not a stallion. Okay, so who are the rest of you?"

     "This here is Fluttershy." I looked to see a cowering, pale yellow mare with a light purple mane.

     "Hello, Fluttershy."

     "H-h-hi."

     " Heh.. a fitting name, I'd say." She blushed in embarrassment. "And the other one was Pinkie Pie, correct?" I asked the mares.

     "*sigh* Yep." they all replied in unison.

     "Ha!" I snickered. "Well, my name is Rikaru. It was nice meeting you all!" I turned around to walk out of here, but I heard Twilight call me.

     "Wait, where are you going? Why not come with us to Ponyville? We would be glad to have you-"

     "Twilight, are you insane!? What will the others think when they see him!?" Rainbow Dash had explained to her.

     " Wait, if the others are going to react like the way you guys have done, maybe it wouldn't be a good idea. I-I have to go." I turned and ran, and with all my mental power, I summoned a Corridor of Darkness and ran into it.

     "WAIT!" Twilight had called to me, but I was long gone.

     Into the sea of darkness.
