When The Darkness Ends

     Chapter 7

      I decided to follow her. I quickly sprinted inside, and experienced the familiar darkness. Who is that? And why was she crying? Those were the only thoughts running through my mind.

      I could see her through the endless pit of darkness. "WAIT!" I called out to her. She looked behind her at me, still running, terrified of me. She turned her head and jumped into the other side of the Corridor of Darkness. I quickly leaped into the other part, just as the portal closed up behind me. I jerked my head upward, and I caught a glimpse of her, STILL sprinting away. I quickly got up, and I started after her. As I was running, I noticed the new place we ended up in. Everything looked like it was in night time, but it looked exactly like Equestria. Maybe this place is a dark version of Equestria, like Flipside and Flopside in Super Paper Mario...

     "Damn, how long is she going to go. Amazing how far a little adrenaline and fear can go." I said as I was starting to slow down. I then thought of how I have magic powers.

     Fucktard.

     I summoned my keyblade and aimed right at her. "STOP!" I yelled, and a purple orb of energy forged at the tip, which then fired at her. It caught her right on the back, but I didn't hear her scream. I caught up to her, her body frozen in place because of my magic. I studied her, waiting for the spell to withdraw. I noticed her body, covered in scars and bruises. I felt bad for her. Then, I noticed she was moving very slowly, but gradually speeding up. I knew the spell was over with, so I quickly opened a Corridor of Darkness in front of her, she ran into it top-speed, but couldn't slow down. I ran inside, and we were once again in the sea of darkness. I saw her, and quickly caught up. She looked at me, still scared, and tried to go back, but I quickly grabbed her.

     We fell out the other side, which happened to take us inside the Everfree Forest. She tried to get free, but I was able to overpower her, and soon she quit struggling, but I could tell she was terrified. I needed to calm her.

     "Shhh...hey, it's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you. I just wanna help you. Calm down. It's okay." I said in her ear, soothingly. It appeared to be working. She was breathing much slower, and I could tell she was calming down. "Now, how about we talk. I care about you, and I want to be able to help." I slowly let go, and she turned around to face me.

     "W-why would y-y-you want to help m-me?" she said, trying not to sob. Sort of reminded me of Fluttershy.

     "Because you were sad and scared about something. My name is Rikaru. May I ask what yours is?" She started to smile, but was still uncertain about me.

     "F-FireFlight, but some of t-t-them call me D-Desieu."

     "Why would they call you that?" The fear was starting to become evident on her face, so I quickly held my hands up.

     "N-nevermind that. Now, how about we talk?"

     "Sure, Rikaru." We walked out of the Everfree Forest, and we sat on a tree stump.

     "W-well, there is a mean pony called S-S-Sombra." she started, and from how she said that name, I'm guessing that this pony not good news.

     "Who is Sombra?" I questioned, curious.

     "He was a tyrant who was in control of the Crystal Empire. But he was defeated by Celestia and was banished to a mountain. But, he placed a curse on the Crystal Empire. When he disappeared, so did the town. But, after the town came back, Sombra was released. W-well, I was his slave. Sex slave, to be exact." She was starting to tear up, so I put a hand on her back, and I rubbed it soothingly.

     "H-he found me, and continued his...fantasies on me...but, when Celestia and Twilight defeated him for good, I was released. I came here for help. But, I was c-c-chased by r-r-rapists who wanted t-t-to have t-their way with me. I outran them, and found myself lost in Canterlot. I couldn't keep it in anymore, and I started to c-cry. that's when you found me, and chased me into the Corridor of Darkness."

      "But how do you know what a Corridor of Darkness is, much less know how to open one?" I asked, really confused.

      "S-Sombra said that it was something that this group of humans, like you, called Organization XIII. They had the abilit-"

      "WHAT!? How did Sombra know what Organization XIII is!? That is in something called a video game that was created by humans."

      "H-he said he was once a human. But he was transported here. He was cursed by a unicorn that I don't even know of. He was changed into a unicorn as well. He was turned mad, and wanted vengeance. He quickly became a sorcerer of dark magic. Once he captured me as his slave as a filly, he taught me what he knew." I was beyond shocked with the new information I gained.

      "Did he ever tell you his human name?"

      "Yes, as a matter of fact, he did. His human name was Urakir Sliver. Why?"

     My eyes widened with shock. I can't believe it. It couldn't be, after all this time. "It...it can't be...No, he died...I-I saw him..."

     "Rikaru, what's wrong?" asked FireFlight, worried about me.

     "G-go to the oak tree in Ponyville. Find Twilight. Tell her I-I sent you." I said in a shaky voice.

     "Rikaru?"

     "It-it's okay, just go. Please." I told her, and then I ran. Away from it all. I couldn't believe it. I ran to Celestia, to go tell her. It didn't take long to enter Canterlot, surprising, but I didn't know how long I was running for. I raced to the castle, ponies dodging me. I didn't care about them right now. I only cared about getting to Celestia. I got to the bottom of the stairs leading to the front doors. The guards were surprised to see me. They readied their weapons, trying to stop me.

     "HALT! You need cleare-" one of the guards tried to warn me, but I just flung my arm upward and he was shot away from me. The other guard tried to attack me, but i quickly grabbed him by the arm, flipped myself over him, and kicked him, sending him tumbling down the stairs. I pushed the doors open, and I saw all of the guards urn their attention to me. I saw a large hallway, so I guessed that was where the throne room was. I started to run, but was stopped by all the guards. I summoned my keyblade, and got into a fighting stance. They formed a large circle around me. I raised my keyblade up and yelled with power, "AEROGA!!!!" A huge tornado surrounded me, sucking up all the guards. I slammed my keyblade downward and the tornado stopped, with all the guards dropping to the ground, unable to fight. I continued on down the hallway. I saw a huge pair of double doors, and I forced them open. I saw a huge throne, with Celestia sitting on it, in a remarkable dress (Celestia looks like the one in this link: http://img07.deviantart.net/bb36/i/2012/220/0/e/celestia_gala_ii_by_cartoontiger-d5aavil.png(Not my image, owned by cartoontiger)). I was startled by her beauty, and I rushed up to her. She was surprised to see me, and rushed down from her chair. We met, and she smiled.

     "Rikaru, how are you? But, it's not even time yet. It's only 5- Rikaru?" she asked with worrieness.

     "I-i-it's about Sombra." I said, feeling a bit lightheaded.

     "H-how do you know about Sombra?" she asked with curiosity.

     "H-h-he used to be..." I was about to black out, but I was fighting it. I was just about to fall.

     "He used to be what?"

     "My-my...my father." I finally said, falling down and fainting.
