A wounded dust

The wind was strong, violent, and ruthless. It was getting dark in Canterlot city as the street lamps were being turned on one by one like a chain reaction. the cars had their headlights on and overall canterlot city looks beautiful with all the colorful lights in the dark. The strong wind started making a very strong eerie whistling sound, reminding the people of the city of its strong presence, any small litter or fallen leaves were being blown away and scattered by the harsh wind. The top of trees were being rocked back and forth, as they to keep their ground against the strong oncoming natural force.

The people walking the streets of canterlot were making their way back from work, some were closing their stores,others were coming in out of the train station,and driving in their streets along the cold dark roads. Even at nighttime the city is still busy,full of activity,but not tonight, all people wanted to do tonight was get their respected homes and out the very violent cold weather. People were hurrying through the busy streets trying to get to their destinations. They were holding their clothes for dear warmth as the winds kept up its relentless assault on the city. Every now and then the some people's hats would get blown off and they would start to panic and start chasing after their possessions,it was a funny sight to others who would give out light chuckles or small grins at the others small misfortune.

But not all was fun and giggles. On the other side of the streets,near an alleyway two young figures were leaning against a wall,observing their surroundings like wild animals looking around for danger amongst other things. The wind blew violently again which took the mysterious figures by surprise. "Damn it man!" a teen sounding voice said as he was keeping a firm hold on his head and keeping himself straight from the sudden blow, "when will this wind ever slow down and give us a break?" the same voice said as the mysterious young teen was looking up at the night sky,looking for a sign that the wind has finally stopped. "You know it's pointless looking up at the sky when you know what the answer is already!" said the other teen standing next to the other one, his voice being slightly higher than the first teen, but still deep all the same.

"Hey how long do we have to stay on guard out here again? the streets are getting kinda empty now!" said the first teen.

"I don't know Edge dale". "But we might as well check on the other guys and see if the boss has come back yet!" said the second teen.

"Agreed Swift up". "we might be needed back there anyway, lets just keep our hoods up to avoid trouble!"finished the teen now known as Edge dale, as they turned their backs to the busy streets to head into the dark alley.

meanwhile.

In the dark alley sounds of laughter and talking could be heard.The alley was not all too fancy, the floors were littered with rubbish, like cans,chip packets,snack boxes, amongst other things. The alleys of canterlot were not a safe place, especially after dark because that's where all the local delinquents like to hang out, get drunk, and smoke, so the local adults don't make it a thing to journey or think about them.

As the two hooded teens journeyed through the dark alley, sounds of laughter and chat was getting more and more clearer by the second.

"Hey Edge dale do you think the boss is back already?"asked Swift up,"the other guys sure are getting louder.

Edge dale simply shrugged as he continued to walk through the alley towards the sounds of laughter followed by his younger companion.

As the teens treked on there was an opening in the distance which was lit up, almost as if the sun was just shining in that while leaving everything else in the shadows.The larger space was really the same as the smaller spaces of the alley, only difference is the larger space had more trash,plus there were recycling bins and fences on one side. Edge dale and Swift up finally arrived to the opening to see 5 more young teens just chilling and interacting with each other.3 teens were sitting down against a wall. The teen sitting on the left was orange skinned, his eyes were sky blue,and he had fuzzy yellow hair with red highlights that rested on his shoulders and came down to the bottom of his neck.For his outfit,he was wearing a zipped up black body warmer, a red hoodie underneath,white baggy pants with black sneakers and neon white laces.

The teen sitting next the yellow haired one, was blue skinned ,his eyes were bright yellow almost like cat eyes. He had messy spiky wavy red hair with a white strand going through the middle. For his outfit,he wore a black long sleeved checked shirt with the small squares being neon yellow.He wore black jeans and a pair of black sneakers with yellow laces.

The third teen had green skin,with brown eyes, a mix of orange,red,and yellow dreadlocks tied into a ponytail.For his outfit he wore a black sports jacket with white lines going down the arms,a pair of dark gray sports pants with black lines going down the side,and black boots with white

These three teens were busy drinking and smoking amongst themselves to notice the arrival of the other two teens.

On the other end of the alley,leaning against a wall was an other teen who had a slightly bigger build than the others.His face was mostly covered by his hat and his hood,but there was some skin showing which was white,both his eyes were covered by his hood and only some strands of hair escaped his hat and hood which was blonde,For this teen's outfit he wore a plain black hoodie with white lines going down his crossed arms,blue jeans,and a pair of green boots with black laces.

From an onlookers point of view this teen was in a deep thinking like trance, as he had head facing the ground and his arms crossed tight.

For the final teen who was dancing,laughing,and cheering,he had white skin with red eyes. And white coloured hair with black highlights,he wore a black hoodie with a skull with two crossbones underneath on the front, and the number 13 on the back. He was also wearing a pair of dark black jeans with a small chain coming out of his right pocket being attached to the black belt he wore.And to finish his outfit, he wore black sneakers with black laces.

Unlike the other four teens this one noticed the other two arrived,and he walked up to them.

"Yo, what's happening guys" he asked casually.

"Oh nothing much Swift spoke up,we heard you guys cheering earlier and we thought Turban was done"finished Swift.

"Yeah,Edge dale spoke up,what he said"

The new teen eyed them curiously with a smirk on his face which made the other two teens nervous.

"MORRISON!!! yelled Edge dale with an annoyed look on his face,DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!!" he finished yelling.

"YEAH MAN LIKE SERIOUSLY, NOT COOL!!!" added Swift up with the same look on his face.

The teen now known as Morrison just simply rolled his eyes,turned his back to two other teens and went back to laughing and cheering.Edge dale and Swift up just walked past the excited teen with annoyed looks on their faces, as they approached the three teens sitting against the wall.

The yellow haired teen looked up from his drink and saw the other two teens approaching them and smiled.

"Edge dale & Swift up,welcome!" he said with a smile. The red haired boy looked up at the teens and gave them an approving smile.

"Yo!",he simply said.The last teen who was the dreadlocked boy looked up and just gave the two teens a simple nod with his head before going back to his drink.

Edge dale and Swift up stopped in front of the three sitting teens and decided to sit next to them. Edge dale then turned towards the teen sitting next to him. "Hey spectrum he asked, whats got morrison so excited all of a sudden??" he finished.

"Yeah, like seriously, Swift spoke up, did someone amped up his drink?? and bud?? Swift finished.

Edge dale rolled his eyes at what his friend just said, then looked back at the yellow haired teen, now known as spectrum to answer.

Spectrum simply shrugged his shoulders, indicating he has no idea either,but as he did this, a new voice spoke up.

"If you guys wanna see something interesting you better look up now!"said the new voice.The chatting teens all looked towards the new voice and saw the red haired teen pointing towards the middle. Curious to see what he was pointing at.When they did all their eyes went wide, in the middle of the alley they saw the hat wearing teen standing right in front of Morrison staring daggers right into him, but what surprised the teens the most was that Morrison just stood there with that stupid look on his face.

"Yo,can i help you with anything?" asked morrison with a casual voice. The other teens watching facepalmed.

The bigger teen intensified his stare at the excited teen and began to grit his teeth,then he said in a dark clear voice,"You can start by SHUTTING THE HELL UP!!, the bigger teen suddenly yelled,causing the five watching teens to flinch from the sudden yelling. if you could just act your age and stop your stupid DANCING AND BLOODY CHEERING"!! he finished adding venom in the last two words.

What happened next caused the five teens to gasp loudly with wide eyed expressions on their faces. Morrison has lost all positive emotions with a click of a finger, and it flown away with the wind, because he had the bigger teen's hoodie collar clenched in both his hands and the grip was tight!, and the smile that was on his face was replaced with a deadly glare."LISTEN HERE KNUCKLEHEAD!!! I'M SORRY THAT I'M IN A GOOD MOOD", I'M SORRY THAT I'M HAVING A GOOD NIGHT!!, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY I'M SORRY FOR BEING A POSITIVVE PERSON!!!" he yelled with such rage that echoed through the wind for the whole city to hear.

"So why don't you back o-"

Morrison could not finish his sentence as he felt something HARD connect to his face, which made him let go of the other teen, and he staggered back clutching his face. The other teens all gasped and tensed up at what they saw, and the red haired teen shot up to his feet which caused the others to look at him with surprise. Then the red haired boy yelled "HEY CMON GUYS LET'S NOT DO THI"-

"STAY OUT OF THISSSSS!! MICRO FLARE!!!, the teen was cut off by Knucklehead giving a yell without looking at him. This made the redhead silent and shake with fear as he set himself back down, failing at being the peacekeeper.

Morrison was still dazed and trying to get his bearings back, not paying attention to the approaching Knucklehead who still had his right fist clenched and walking with violent intent. "How dare you!! lay your hands on me Knucklehead said angrily at Morrison, YOU really are a stupid KID!!", he said with venom as he swung again for the dazed teen. But this time Morrison saw it coming and dodged it swiftly!. ("Hmm not bad Knucklehead thought to himself, it's not often i find someone who can recover that fast from punc-")

he was knocked out of thought as Morrison delivered a swift roundhouse to the bigger teen's face. But this did not phase him, it only made him mad and he glared at Morrison with killer intent.

The other 5 watching where at a complete shock, mouths agape, eyes wide, it's like they witnessed something amazing, but the complete opposite. "hey man d-d-did you see that shit! stuttered Micro flare, i had no idea Morrison knew some form of martial arts!" he finished.

"i know man, crazy!" Spectrum added with surprise.

"how could he stretch his leg like that? he's wearing jeans man, JEANS!! added Swift up with a finger pointing to Morrison.

"uh-huh"was the only response Edge dale had with his mouth still wide.

......... The dreadlocked teen offered no response as he just stoically watched on.

Back in the middle, Morrison got his bearings together completely and stood ready, staring down the now enraged Knucklehead who was rubbing his cheek with the back of his. "you know....you just made the biggest mistake of your life!" he said darkly. Morrison did not falter, he showed no fear, he stood ready, fists clenched legs separate, eyes focused on his enemy, he will not back down.

All was in an eerie silence, nothing made a sound except the whistling of the wind and the honking of cars in the distance. It was a tense atmosphere, neither side would make a move, the combatants just stood staring at each other,  giving of a chilly look towards one another. Then a random glass bottle made its small presence known, rolling along the concrete floor past the two fighters, and then like a flash, they both lunged at each other.

Both teens collided with each other with a loud thud but Morrison being smaller than Knucklehead was knocked back a bit. Then Knucklehead swung and connected another shot to Morrison's face, he staggered back further back, but Knucklehead kept on coming as he swung another right, but Morrison saw it coming again and ducked underneath the punch. He threw a right punch to the bigger teen's ribs, but it did not phase him whatsoever. Knucklehead threw a right uppercut towards Morrison, but at the last second he swung his head back and Knucklehead's  fist just missed the teen's chin by inches, then Morrison delivered a jumping knee and nailed the bigger teen's chin making his head swing back, knocking his hood of his head revealing his black hat fully and his tied back long blonde hair going down his back. Knucklehead recovered quickly and shook his head to get rid of blurriness. He then looked at Morrison who was coming at him with another roundhouse in mind, but Knucklehead saw it coming and held his hands out ready for interception. But what happened next surprised the teen. Morrison stopped halfway and ducked to deliver a sweep to Knucklehead's legs witched knocked him over, Morrison finished with a dance move pose.

At this point the five teens watching the fight were all wide eyed mouthed, it looked like there jaws were hitting the floor and their eyes would dart out their heads at any minute. Knucklehead who was now lying on the ground was looking up at the sky, the clear cold cloudless sky. He lay motionless for a minute looking up at the sky, "you still alive down there? asked the coocky voice of Morrison who had a smug look on his face, i hope you did not hit your head too had"he chuckled. This sparked a fuse inside Knucklehead's head as his face showed a very dangerous look. He flipped his heavy body up with agility which took Morrison by surprise, then Knucklehead charged Morrison and tackled him with him on his shoulder as he ran. Knucklehead ran right into brick wall and rammed Morrison into it, HARD, which made him cough after being violently rammed into a wall, then Knucklehead punched Morrison right in the face and he went down. "That serves you right! he said looking down at the fallen coughing teen, if you know what's good for you don't get up!" he finished.

Knucklehead turned his body around thinking it's a job well done and began walking away. But Morrison was not done yet, not by a long shot. He slowly got to his feet still coughing and rubbing at his stomach. but he still had a determined look on his. After rubbing his stomach for the final time, he put his hands up in front of his face and slowly clenched hands into fists and gave the walking teen a a glare that was full of rage that it almost made tears drop from his eyes. "HEYYY!! I'M NOT YET!!" Morrison yelled with a purpose. The five teens  watching all gasped for the 50th time as they looked over at Morrison. Knucklehead stopped his walking with a surprised look on his."(how is he still standing??, this is ridiculous he thought to himself") "well you sure are a glutton for pain Knucklehead said as he looked at Morrison. "You need to quit while you still can!" Knucklehead gave a stern look towards the hurt teen.

"NOT when this is about RESPECT!!" he said the last part with purpose, witch caught Knucklehead off guard as he went wide eyed at Morrison's answer. Then the the teen charged at Knucklehead with intent to cause pain. Knucklehead got into a fighting stance and then swung his right fist,intending to hurt Morrison, but he ducked the right and then started to repeatedly punch at Knucklehead's stomach and ribs super fast precise jabs. Knucklehead was taking Morrison's punches full on like a champ,but he began to get winded and started to cough,so he raised both his arms in the air and cupped his fists together, then he sung them down and smashed Morrison's skull making him lean forward. But to the big teen's surprise Morrison used the momentum of his swing and did a webster With Morrison's heel connecting to Knucklehead's forehead, causing him to yelp a bit, but then he swung again, this time his fist made a connection to the other teen's face causing him to back away and clutch his now swollen cheek.

Both teens just stood there staring at each other, panting as their fight took some energy out of them. Knucklehead was rubbing at his stomach after it was punched nonstop. Morrison was rubbing at his now bruised cheek after it got punched hard twice. The five teens watched with worry as their two friends just had a massive fight and were now showing signs of pain. "You think it's over Neo glow"?? Micro flare asked his dreadlocked friend who remained silence the entire time, except for the occasional gasp. "just look and find out" he said with a calm voice. Micro flare gave his friend a quick glare then looked over at the two teens with worry.

The atmosphere was tense, as neither teen made a move, they just remained as they were. panting out of breath and staring at eachother. "Well now, that was certainly an interesting fight to watch after a good job!" a new teen voice spoke up with a hint of joy in it. The seven teens than began looking for the sauce of the new voice until Knucklehead saw the person the voice belonged too and immediately started to sweat. Once the others saw who it was too they also began to sweat and some even shivered. sitting on the other side of the alley was a lone teenager with a smirk on his face, The teen was a bright skinned boy with black eyes and jet black hair, he wore a black punk coat with metal spikes on the shoulders. a white t-shirt with the words "KILLAH" written on it, black skinny jeans, and a pair of baseball boots.

The new teen was playing with a butterfly knife in one hand as he hoped of his seat and slowly made his way towards the middle "Hey t-t-there boss i did not see you there! Knucklehead fearfully said".

"H-h-how long have you been sitting there watching us ?" Morrison spoke up with equal fear.

"Long enough to see a show wouldn't you agree boys!" the new said as looked at the 5 teens sitting against the wall. Each of them slowly nodded their heads at his question "S-sure Turban! Micro flare added as he gulped a lump in his throat nervously. "Good" Turban said with a grin on his face.

"So uh,Turban did you succeed" Asked a very nervous Morrison. Turban gave him a sinister smile and showed his knife which was dripping with blood which caused both Knucklehead And Morrison to shake. "Hey uh Turban, why are you looking at me like that Morrison asked nervously" as Turban walked closer with that grin on his. At this point even Knucklehead began to get a little nervous about how Turban is acting and walking towards Morrison with no good intension. " Hey Turban, why you acting so weirdly?" Knucklehead asked his leader but he just ignored his question and walked right past him,giving him a pat on his shoulder making him concerned.

As Turban got closer Morrison's heartbeat began to beat faster and faster by the minute and sweat continuously dripped from his head as he watch his leader approach him and then come to a gentle stop, staring at Morrison right in his eyes. Morrison was taller than Turban but not by much,he knew he could hold his own against this sinister teen but something about Turban made Morrison nervous, VERY nervous. He began trembling as Turban just stood there staring into his eyes smiling evilly without saying a word. ("Its those eyes of his, those black lifeless eyes staring into my soul, i can seriously feel soul get colder and colder by the second to the point where this weather is nothing to me", Morrison thought). Turban looked at Morrison's balled up trembling fist and looked amused by how scared he was. "So Morrison good buddy" he said in a rather surprising warm voice. " Y-yeah Morrison stammered out,  what's up Turban". Without letting the scared teen know Turban slowly raised his hand with the butterfly knife in, something Knucklehead and Neo glow noticed and both began to go wide eyes.

"Hey Morrison how fast are you?" Turban asked curiously. "Turban what you thinking right now" whispered Neo glow who worryingly eyed his knife hand. "Wha-.

Than with a sudden swift movement Turban spin swiped and stopped with his back now facing Morrison with both his arms spread wide like wings. "Not fast enough"Turban whispered darkly with his eyes closed as he slowly put his knife away.

Every teen who saw what happened had mixed looks of horror or outrage at they just witnessed. Morrison was left standing completely horrified, he had no idea what happened as it was just a blur, but he did hear a strange sound, a sound that sounded like liquid spraying everywhere. But he noticed something else to, he was choking and losing his vision, his body felt really light all of a sudden then it happened!. Morrison fell backwards with a shocked expression on his face as he lay there, lifeless!. "WHAT THE FUCK!! DID YOU DO TURBAN!!!!" Knucklehead yelled in outrage as he approached Turban was slowly walking away from the still form behind him.

Knucklehead was still outraged and the other five teens were still horrified at what just transpired. Turban slowly walked past Knucklehead before he was stopped by the angry teen who then grabbed Turban by his jacket collar and lifted him up in the air.much to the horror of the others. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND TURBAN!!! YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THAT!!!" THE BIG TEEN YELLED WITH FURY. Turban just simply gave Knucklehead a blank look and released himself from The strong teen's grip and walked right next to him and whispered in his ear," you're lucky that you are the first and you still have uses" he whispered darkly as he continued walking. That statement caused Knucklehead's eyes to twitch as he was about to reach his boiling point but he just remained still as he stared at the body of the Former energetic teen known as Morrison just laid lifeless.

Turban got to the entrance of the alley and turned his slightly and said in a clear voice, "c'mon boys, let's go" then he turned to walk away. All the teens snapped out there trance and looked at each other worryingly. "I'm not sure about you guys? but i'm going said Neo glow",

"same here!" said Swift up. The other teens just gave a single nod of their heads and made their way after Turban. As the teens were walking out the alley Edge dale stopped as he noticed there was one person missing. He slowly turned his head to see Knucklehead still staring at Morrison's lifeless body.

"Hey buddy, are you coming"? Edge dale asked softly.

"Yeah just......tell Turban i'll meet him back at the house. Knucklehead said without turning his head.

"Understood"Edgedale simply said as he knew Knucklehead wanted to be alone, so he decided not to push it further and left to join the others. Knucklehead slowly started making his way towards the dead teen who had his lifeless eyes and mouth wide open, his neck had a long deep wound which was still gushing blood, making a very faint stain on his black hoodie and small pool was forming around his head. Knucklehead stood over Morrison and looked down on him with a solemn look on his face as he crouched down besides him and put his hand over the deceased teen's face, and very gently rubbed his hand downwards to close his eyes and mouth to make him at peace. Once he was don, he stood up and looked down one more time and whispered "i'm sorry" with a sad look on his face, then he put his hood up, turned around and slowly walked away towards the others.

The wind blew violently causing loose rubbish and paper to start flying around the alley, making a tornado like formation around Morrison's body. Then as Knucklehead was walking he heard a rustling sound behind a trash can, and looked at it for a sec, then he just sighed and walked on, as a flying piece of paper went flying past the walking teen and landed behind the trash can. The piece of paper landed gently on the ground faintly in the light to reveal three beautiful young women on the cover, all of them holding shiny microphones and dressed in fancy outfits on a very colourful lightened up stage, with smiles on their faces. Above the women the word, "The Dazzlings" could be seen in big pink glittery writing. Then out of the shadows a pair of green dirty hands could be seen gripping the paper tightly, then a wet shiny liquid started to fall and landed on the paper on the middle poofy haired girl's cheek, Then a small cry was heard.

On the other side of Canterlot city inside a range rover the same poofy haired girl was behind the wheel when she felt a strange cold sensation on her left cheek. The woman gasped lightly and placed one hand on her cheek.

"What was that she asked softly as she rubbed her cheek softly. Another hand was placed on the poofy haired girl's shoulder.

She turned her head to see a fiery head girl look at her with concern on her face.

"Hey Adagio, are you okay? asked the fiery head girl softley.

"Yes dear i'm fine, just got a little feeling on my cheek, that's all" Adagio said with a smile"no need to worry Sunset".

Sunset shimmer slowly let go of Adagio's shoulder and gave her friend a warm smile before turning back to the road, as the black range rover drove into the dark city.
