I'll Tell You What Revenge Is
Chapter Three: Pinkie's War Zone
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was a wonderful morning in the city of Ponyville as Celestia gracefully raised the sun, making light everypony to see and to brighten your day. I drove myself lazily out of bed as my four hooves reached the ground, and left off to the bathroom. It's amazing how I managed to control my body on the two worlds. Heh, it wasn't so easy the first time.
Eight Months Ago...
"Ah, okay Twilight, collect and observe magic by going to this strange portal to take me a weird dimension. Am I right?"
"Yes, Mid, for the third time. Now go, but be careful, walking isn't going to be as easy. Don't say I warned you!"
"Aw come on Twi, how bad can it be...."
And after that, my body left Equestria into this new world. The first thing I did when I entered was to fall on my face. I thought I was going to be a bigger version of myself, but this, this was different. My what so called muzzle was tiny and insignificant. My mane was cut of my back, and more dark blue hair surrounded my head. I had only two hooves, the two front legs were replaced by skinny legs, and with long, turning claws just like Spike's but much, much, more rounded. I felt exposed without my mane and tail, but the worst thing was trapped in so much clothes. It was suffocating, even worse that the day Rarity tried to put me in a nice outfit, to *impress** the ladies. I mean, like seriously, maybe at least look for someone yourself instead of pushing other people into it. But all wrapped in clothes, and then more clothes, leather armor to be exact. It felt heavy, and was the color of my other armor I wore as a guard, just without the extra clothes underneath. My strange front hooves were retractable! Which meant I could grasp items like Spike without having to use my horn! Oh, OH no my horn! God Dammit. It was the strangest thing in the world, apart from Twilight's craziness times when she tried to find a friendship problem but failed miserably at it.*
But that's in the past so let's not mention the last bit. As I was saying, a wash in my face gotta wake me up, and so I did. As my face struck the mirror, I realized about the situation with Sunset, the scar that I gave her as I left her world. Great. Dread filled me as I worried in within my thoughts, then a wonderful idea came into mind. Slowly I crept across the crystal castle, and peeked the door whose room belonged to Twilight and Spike, to an inspection on whether they were awake or not. Great. She's asleep, but Spike's gone? Hmm, let's see, I skid through the room and my eyes lock on the exact thing I was looking for. Twilight's magical book. Twilight shifted a bit, which got me to almost have an aneurisma as she moved to face the opposite direction of me. I was scared she found out I was messing with her personal items, and kicked me out of the castle. Anyways, I crept out of her room, and reached for a feather. After that I searched for some ink, but stopped in midway of my room to think of my absurness. What was I going to tell Sunset? Should I pretend to be Twilight and be decent? Or should I give it away and tell her it's me? I then thought of her book, with a grand yellow and red sun mark on it. Twilight's was just a plain brown. I got to my senses when my nose caught a particular smell, which was in fact Spike cooking breakfast. Eggs frying, and toast in the kitchen. Meh. I 'll do it later. Tossing the book under the bed, I run down the stairs, to greet Spike, but a quick thought ran through my mind halfway through the stairs. What if she finds the book? What will she think of me hiding secrets with her personal tools? Meh, she can't find out, it's under my bed! Well, let's get going, and wrap this up once and for all.
One thing, on the other hoof, is how bad my situation with Sunset and I got a million times worse.
"She spent all day bawlin' her eyes out for no good reason! I mean, what in tarnation has gotten into her mind?" Applejack started, trying to get the other girls attention.
"Oh my, I don't ever think I would go crazy like that, even if it were with my animals." responded a quiet and shy Fluttershy.
"Then whatever are we waiting for darlings, lets go confort Sunset!" called and eager Rarity.
"With one exception, Rares. How in the hay do we know were welcome in there?"
"Well, I suppose we start easy, then if not, we insist properly."
"Insist properly? What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well, just follow my lead."
"Hmm. Well, if anything happens, I'll blame you. Got that?"
"Okay, fine, let's just get this overwith."
The room was dark and gloomy. The lights were off, the apartment looked vacant, and abandoned, there were also shattered ceramic plates on the floor. A kitchen knife was on the kitchen counter, and a cup of water was half empty as well. Sunset was in her room, cuddled up in a bundle on the corner of the room, her head buried in her legs, quietly sobbing, her whimpers just like whispers, it was a pain to hear. She heard whispering, and slowly raised her head up to notice her friends, Applejack stretching her hand to help Sunset up, but all she did was sink her head again back to her knees, with an expression of hurt in her large, teal eyes.
"Darling, don't play peek-a-boo with us, and now tell us, what's wrong?"
"I don't want to talk right now, I miss him, miss him very much.."
"Aw, sugarcube, ah know there are some' floks out there that can easily-"
"SHUT UP APPLEJACK! LIKE IF YOU KNOW!" and with that, Applejack fell onto the floor, wheezing in pain as she realized that, clenched teeth, heavy breathing, and fingers pressed was Sunset, as she glared at the two girls who were petrified, in this case, Fluttershy and Rarity. She looked into her purse, hair a mess, and anger filling her, she took her phone and swiped to Pinkie's text.
"What's this! Talk!" she ordered, as then she felt herself on the floor, hands pinned tight by the grasp of Applejack. Her stetson hat was still on the floor, and was by means, way stronger that Sunset. Sunset wasn't a frilly girl like Rarity, but didn't work out like Applejack, so practically she was weak.
"Listen yall, ah didn't wanna do is', but you left me no choice but to do this, the apple way. This oughta calm you down." Applejack said, and punch after punch she left Sunset knocked out, no blood, but knocked out. She was unconscious, and after her cute face fell to her chest, Applejack felt sorrow and regret.
"Darling you overdid yourself."
"Well, what was ah supposed to do! She punched me!"
"That doesn't you can sleep the poor girl. She's suffering enough. Should we take her to the hospital?"
"Um, if you can, please lidten to what I need to say. We can try calming her down and try to wake her up. I heal a lot of animals, you know."
"Bring it up Fluttershy."
Tears fell from both of my eyes as I tried to hide it from Twilight, with no success, Spike had to ruin everything, and soon enough I'm running back to the portal.
"Mid don't do this we can work something out! Stop!"
"Twilight don't you dare use magic or-" and I was teleported to Twlight, so I used magic to reach the portal immeadiatly.
The wondercolt statue was glowing, and I popped out, only to see Nights there.
"Nights! What are you doing here-"
"Mid , I know. I told her a lie to help you with some time for a proper apology. Unfortunately, Pinkie sent Sunset a text that got her into rage, and she puched Applejack."
"What! And did they calm her down! And what did Pinkie say!"
"No Mid, Applejack had to pin her to the floor and beat her up. The girl's face is hanging on her chest, and Fluttershy is trying to wake her up."
Instant rage hit me now. No one, and I mean NO ONE, lays a hand on my Sunset. Not even I. So why should I let Applejack get away like that!
"C'mon, we have to go see!" I ordered, but Nights was just standing there, not doing anything.
"Mid, I can't. I have a date with Octavia, and she should be coming in Vinyl's car. Also, look." He responded me, showing a black box, with an enormous ring inside it.
"Hehe Nights, Congrats!" I happily respond, but now I see his worry. "Don't worry Nights, with a guy as strong as you, with a gentle and nice heart, I bet you've got her captured since the day you saw your family was alive."
"You think so?" he asked, with a nod from my head as a response. And so I head off to the jewelry shop, buy something Sunset had her eye for a long time, the BIGGEST box of chocolates I could find, and flowers that represent her gorgeous hair I admire everyday. I knock on the door, not to mention that I got happy looks from a bunch of people around, with some claps and cheers, which I ignored. Rarity opened, mouth wide open as everyone else. I think Rarity was more stunned because of the teal diamond than the actual me, but I'd care less. Then, after settling my things on the coffee table, I greet Fluttershy, then softly move her aside to see Sunset in bed. She was asleep, and Applejack's hands marked firmly on her delicate cheeks.
"Applejack how could you!"
"Listen, she was crying and then out of nowhere, you come out and just like that you-"
"If anyone, anyone touches MY Sunset, whether the circumstance is, I will be there, and I promise to anything holy that they will pay. You got that, Applejack!" I say in a deadpan tone. She then grabs her gloves, invisible of couse, and gets in her position.
"You wanna fight me, boy? There is a rule that boys can't hit girls, but as far as am are concerned, ah don't care. So bring it up!" She orders, and the battle begins. She throws in some punches, and has that amazing hope that ever so slightly could make her win, but for 16 years I've fought, and my skills could kill her, so, I just do it to show her a lesson. I throw a punch back, and it hits her, and she tries to hit me back, so I got her hand and twisted it till she fell on the floor wheezing in pain, saying, "You win! I'm sorry for hitting Sunset, You win!" and then I go on her bed, and cry. My whole life is very worthy to her, but I've done very little to earn that. Then, it strucks me. I know exactly what to do! Running, I go to the transparent box I left next to the chocolates, and it's not there! Of course, the diamond freak had to take it again.
"So shiny....."
"Rarity give me that! I need it so I......." and a crimson adorns my face, as the three girls are ooing and cheering. Which in fact then lets me hear something faint. Sobbing. Small, soft, but sobbing that penetrates my heart.
Sunset was crying, and she woke up.
