Big Fucking X-Box live party for the new episode this weekend (be warned I sound like Egoraptor when i get into intense fun mode) see you guys online, DC singing out.

Everyone in the room dropped their jaw, this pony looked nothing like they imagined, he was extremely malnourished and extremely skinny yet taller than Big Macintosh with a brown coat and a very white beard, his mane nearly gone with age and his horn wrinkly. Starswirl smiled as he said, “Ah… a student of magic I presume?”

Lyra kneeled before him as well as she said, “Her and I both, we were taught by the royal alicorn sisters themselves. Please know we do not come to take but only to receive.”

The unicorn looked down at the turquoise pony as he said, “Such a fine language for a pony so young, I feel the warmth of truth and power in your hearts. I already know why you are here and who the book belongs to. May the true seekers approach.”

Alex, Lauren, and Oscar slowly approached him before kneeling down in front of him. Once Twilight and Lyra had returned to the group, Starswirl said as he looked up, “May the powers of the book be with you always and know that until the next seeker arrives you shall guard this book with your life, and infinite life you shall have.” Suddenly a great flash of white light beamed down from the ceiling onto the stone slab behind him, an object beginning to form in the light. After a few seconds the light disappeared, floating in front of them was a leather book with solid gold pages and a silver unicorn on the cover that had corroded over time. As the book finally dropped to the slab of stone, Starswirl looked at the group with a smile as he said, “Unicorn wrote this book over thirty million years ago, you are it’s third Guardian… now I leave you.” Starswirl looked up as he suddenly began to evaporate into light. Soon all that was left was his hat and robes. Lauren walked up and slowly grabbed the book in her hands, it was soothingly warm to the touch and smelled of the best scents.

As Lauren took a look at the first page, the letters re-arranged themselves into English as she began to read aloud, “This book contains the spell of spells, something only the pure of heart can acquire, but until that spell is said, you shall be the mortal you are.”

Alex walked up beside Lauren as he said, “Wow, we finally have it.”

A sudden click echoed through the room, the sound of a revolver’s hammer being pulled back. Alex felt a shock in his heart as Oscar said in a low voice, “Correction...I finally have it.”

Alex kept his back towards Oscar as he said with his head low, “So… when did you talk to ShadowThunder.”

Oscar had no emotion in his tone as he slowly walked up and pushed the revolver to Alex’s head and said, “Earlier before you guys got off the plane in San Diego. I’ll spare you the trouble of trying to remove the discord from me because I made this choice myself.”

Alex shook his head as he said while looking at his feet, “Of all the people, my best friend.”

Oscar pushed the gun hard against Alex’s head as he said, “How fucking stupid are you? Wasn’t it obvious how as soon as you got off the plane I was right there to see you? How everywhere we went ShadowThunder was there as well? Whenever you had your backs turned to me I was telling her the plans over short frequency messages. Now, I’m going to kill you and get her the book.”

Alex began to cry silently as he said, “Why?”

Oscar shook his head as he said, “She promised me that she would spare the human race if I gave her the books. These creatures, these ponies, aren’t supposed to be this real and no one will know anything had happened if they all die.”

Pinkie Pie slowly approached Oscar as she said with a shaky voice, “But Oscar… I thought what we had was real.”

Oscar pointed the gun at Pinkie’s head as he said, “Shut up. Shut up! SHUT UP! My name isn’t Oscar. I’m not really Dark-Castle, I’m a spy. Dark-Castle is the easiest person to impersonate, wear a black ski mask and talk about yourself a lot. It’s a shame none of this info will help any of you now that you’re all going to die.”

Alex looked at his gun as he said, “You’re wasting your bullets, killing me won’t stop us.”

The masked traitor smiled as he said, “You’re right.” He then pointed the gun at Lauren’s side and shot her continuously until she was motionless. Alex and the ponies screamed in horror as they watched the bullets penetrate her chest and blood begin to seep out. Oscar whipped his wrist in the direction of the book and a small grappling hook flew out and grabbed it.

Alex went to tackle the imposter only to get thick metal of a gun to the side of his head; Alex fell to the ground like a sack of bricks in a daze. The masked man ran to the center of the hole as he said out loud, “By the way, the name is Kyle Clyde, Area 51 secret operatives agent singing out.” A rope then fell to his side as he reached out his arm; he wrapped his hand around it tightly and began to be carried up the hole with the book in his hand.

Alex slowly got to his feet and instead of running after Kyle, he ran to Lauren’s side along with the ponies. Lauren looked at Alex as she said, “Don’t fail.”

Alex began to tear up in his eyes; he just watched his only ray of hope to ever defeat the ultimate villain just die in front of him. Alex tried his best to speak but was feeling something snap inside him, his vision suddenly became clearer than ever as his skin began to darken. As he got to his feet the ponies backed up as Twilight said, “He’s breaking the barrier. I did that when I was a filly and it granted me powers beyond any comprehension. Be quick and use your emotions Alex, hurry and kick that traitor’s ass! Sorry for swearing, now go!”

Alex nodded his head and charged out the entrance way before creating a giant pillar that shot him into the air. Alex felt this burning rage he had never felt since he watched Justin die for nothing. Alex began to roar in that demonic voice as he reached the top, his skin completely black and his eyes glowing orange as his hair began to glow in patterns. Alex watched as Kyle boarded the plane as he shouted, “One human sacrifice for the sake of humanity.”

Alex snapped his neck as a loud echoing crack sounded from his neck while he said, “Make it two sacrifices.” Alex then charged the stolen aerial vehicle as fast as he could, his powers beginning to bend the objects around him. Alex jumped as high as he could and landed on top of the plane Lyra had built, he used his levitation powers to slam himself violently onto the top of the vessel. He looked down at his feet and suddenly began to tear apart the roof of the airship simply by looking at it; his eyes were pure white now as his skin had gone black with orange cracks of light throughout his body. Alex jumped into the plane to see Kyle standing there with a smile on his face as he said, “Guess who just got their powers?” Suddenly Kyle’s eyes began to glow a bright purple, his skin beginning to show complex patters of glowing purple energy.

Alex threw a punch as hard as he could only to hit what felt like steel, the masked man laughed as he slowly walked up and grabbed him by the neck and said, “I’m an Earth type, Shadow gave me the ability to use my powers before even finding my Zen. Let’s give them a test.” Kyle threw his fist at Alex; the strength in the man’s arm was phenomenal as he launched Alex through the titanium walls of the plane and into the air.

Alex felt no pain thanks to his broken barrier, he felt no shortage of power as he hovered himself onto the top of a building. Alex shouted as loud as he could, “You fucking traitor!”

Alex watched as a small figure jumped out the plane towards him, not trying to slow down or anything as it slammed into the roof of the building. Kyle slowly got to his feet and dusted himself off as he said, “You are the traitor because you want to fight Shadow. She promised me that if I bring her the book she would spare all of us humans. Think about it Alex, every 14 billion people in the world over one death of the chosen one.”

Alex walked up and began to electrocute Kyle as he wrapped his arm around his neck and said, “Let’s see what the 14 billion people think when they see us fight?” Alex then through Kyle into the air using his levitation and jumped after him, as soon as they made contact once again they had transferred back to earth and slammed into an oncoming bus.

Alex flew through the bus and out the other side like a ragdoll as Kyle simply got up and dusted himself off. Kyle began to walk up to Alex and kicked the bus out of the way, hearing the screams of the people inside as many of them were hurt. As Alex struggled to get up, he realized he had lost most of his energy but had enough to get up and fight. Kyle approached Alex as he drew one of his swords, the look of evil in his eyes as he said, “You got us a crowd buddy, too bad you won’t win this.” The two listened as murmurs about it being a fight between the once lost Dark-Castle and the kidnapper.

As Alex got up, he looked into the eyes of the masked man and said, “I’m trying to save both worlds, Shadow lied to you, she will kill everyone here if she feels like.”

Kyle smiled as he said, “Fine then… everywhere I went people would always make fun of me for having a deformity under this mask. That’s why I chose to be Dark-Castle, so I can wear this mask. I don’t care if everyone dies here; in fact I quite welcome it.”

Alex laughed as he said, “Shut up man… you talk too much.” Alex then threw a fist at Kyle which sent him into the destroyed bus, gas leaking out onto the street. Kyle quickly got up and threw a fist back at Alex, only to hear his knuckles break. Alex smiled as he said, “Just as weak as ever without ShadowThunder around.” Alex then punched Kyle in the face, spinning him around and knocking him into a puddle of gasoline where he would lay there motionless. Alex stared down the man before slowly walking away, as he walked he made no eye contact because that was the least cool thing to do. Once he was a safe distance away, he opened up a portal to another universe.

Suddenly Kyle began to get up as he pulled a pistol from his coat and laughed loudly, he pulled the trigger and a small spark fell onto his gasoline covered coat which sent burning flames up his arm and all over his face. The bullet missed Alex and hit a nearby wall which made him turn around to see the walking torch scream in agony, the smell of melting chemicals coming from his face as he ripped his burning clothes off. Alex watched in horror as he struggled and failed to remove the melting mask from his face as he shouted at the crowd, “Get a fucking ambulance!” Alex then jumped through the portal as it began to close, leaving the motionless body to be soon brought to the hospital as he now had to focus on saving Lauren and the Book.
