I'm Broken
Chapter Three: Some Secrets Out, Some Secrets Hidden
Previous ChapterNext ChapterApplejack coughed, but managed to speak. "K..... King Sombra...."
"The one and only"
Applejack narrowed her eyes at him. "Your Spike's real dad? No jokes? No games?"
Sombra sighed annoyingly. "Yes! Come on, don't you see the resemblance?!"
Pinkie Pie, despite being beaten, darted her eyes over to Sombra and Spike. "Yes"
Twilight sighed in annoyance. She knew Pinkie was trying to keep happy, even though she was deeply offended by Spike moments ago. Twilight narrowed her eyes suspiciously at Sombra. "I don't believe you"
Sombra sighed and rolled his eyes. "Of course you wouldn't believe me"
Twilight's anger increased in her voice. "What's that suppose to mean?"
"Come on Twilight. You wouldn't believe anything that may sound weird to you. Remember when you didn't believe in your good ol' friend's Pinkie Sense?"
Twilight's anger decreased a little, sweat rolling down her neck, but she tried to sound angry and convincing. "That's completely different"
King Sombra raised his eyebrow at Twilight in confusion. "How so?"
Twilight didn't answer right away. "I..... Well.... Um....."
Rainbow Dash raised up with all her strength, wings flapping angrily behind her back. "Leave her alone you old pack of smoke and dust!"
"Brash as ever Rainbow Dash. Or should I say Rainbow Crash?"
Rainbow Dash looked incredibly hurt by the nickname. However, she tried to not look hurt at all. She failed. Applejack narrowed her eyes.
"Leave her alone ya hillbilly!" Applejack yelled, raising towards her hoofs. King Sombra, thought she was going to save Spike from his grip, causing him to grip tighter on Spike's throat. Spike felt the air leaving his lungs. Before Twilight could do anything, Rarity acted first.
"SPIKEY WIKEY!" Rairity's horn glowed bright blue, trying her best to levitate Spike. When I mean she tries her best, she gets physically exhausted. The unicorn however still tried her best. Twilight, breaking out of her trance, tried helping Rarity with the levitation. Sweat rolled down their necks and bodies as their concentration became hard to keep. Rarity and Twilight moaned in exhaustion, but tried their best to finish the job. Sombra didn't do anything. He just stood their with a smirk on his face as Spike began to turn pale. This caused Rainbow to snap.
Fast as a sercuit, Rainbow Dash dashed towards Sombra. Rarity and Twilight noticed this, causing their concentration to break completely. "RAINBOW NO! HE WILL DESTROY SPIKE!" Rainbow didn't listen. She was far too angry to do so.
Both Twilight and Rarity tried levitating her back, but Rainbow always ended up breaking the spell. But there was one thing that confused the Mane Six: Rainbow is flying towards Sombra. Sombra said if anypony even took a step, Sombra will destroy Spike. Sombra, however, isn't taking the opportunity to do so for some odd reason. The only thing Sombra was doing was grasping tightly on Spike's throat, waiting for Rainbow's anger to unleash. Sombra acted like he was waiting for Rainbow to save him, though he spent all this time to destroy him. Rainbow was close to Sombra, but he fire teleported.
"Try and catch me"
Rainbow exploded. Rainbow flied faster and faster. If you look at Rainbow's form, you might think she's ready to create a sonic rainboom. She was close to doing so though. Before Rainbow could catch up to Sombra, he fire teleported again, causing her to loose her balance and fall onto the ground.
Sombra smirked. "Nice going Rainbow Crash"
DON'T CALL ME THAT ANY MORE!" Rainbow's eyes was filled with fire and cross bones. Rainbow flew faster than she ever had before. Before Sombra could fire teleport, Rainbow kicked him in Sombra's hip causing him to release Spike. Rarity quickly levitated Spike and placed him on her back while Rainbow was beating Sombra up with punches an kicks. Sombra was not affected nor bruised.
Applejack, despite being just as mad as Rainbow and just as a fighter as her, ran towards her. "Rainbow, that ain't solvin' nothin' . Stop fightin' him"
Rainbow turned towards Applejack with tears in her eyes and bloodshot eyes. Applejack flinched. Before Rainbow could attack him some more, Sombra pushed her aside.
Twilight blasted him with her laser. "You'll never get away with this Sombra! You will never get your dirty hooves on Spike!"
Sombra smirked. "Fine then"
Twilight cracked an confused eyebrow. "Come again?"
"Fine. I won't destroy him right then and there" Sombra floated, fire rings surrounding his body. "But mark my words, I will be back. Better, faster, stronger!" The Mane Six looked at the sky. "I will break each and every one of you! " He took a look a look at each of the Mane Six. "You'll realize the truth hurts,that kindness will not be here forever, that laughter can hurt , that loyalty has consequences, that generosity will overwork you, that magic isn't always the answer!"
Sombra turned away before giving Spike a smirk. "And Spike? Don't be ashamed of what you had done in the past" And with that, Sombra disappeared. The Mane Six covered their eyes because of the shinning bright light with their hooves.
Twilight was pacing. "It's crazy! It's crazy! I don't get Sombra! First, he came here to destroy Spike! He told me not to make a step or he'll be destroyed. But Rainbow flied towards Spike and Sombra and he didn't destroy him! Thank Celestia for that, but it's confusing! What does Sombra even want? What is he doing?! WHAT IS HE PLANNING!?"
The Mane Six and Spike were in Twilight and Spike's library. Rainbow was sitting on her haunches, looking angry and sad, tears still behind her eyes, Applejack was beside her, rubbing her back to comfort her, Pinkie was on the floor looking at her hooves blankly, maybe trying to think of a way to brighten the mood, Fluttershy was beside her, her face being covered by her long pink mane, and Rarity was upstairs looking after Spike, making sure he was alright. Spike had turned back into his original color, but looked effected nonetheless.
Applejack than began to break the silence. "Look, whatever Sombra is plannin' we'll have to give him EVERYTHING we got"
Twilight nodded in agreement, eyes narrowing. "Right ahead of you. We must not step down. Whatever he throws at us, we can take it right?!"
The Rest of the Mane Six nodded in agreement. Rarity then came from upstairs, gaze looking downward.
"Rares, how's Spike?" Twilight asked almost immediately. Rarity sighed.
"He's fine. He's taking a nap, but I placed the most strongest force field around the library to make sure no one comes in"
Twilight smiled a little, nodding her head. "Good. That way we won't get attacked"
Rainbow decided to speak. "Is what Sombra say is true? Are they really related? Have Spike done bad things?"
Twilight shrugged. "I'm not sure. We have to hear it from Spike himself to see if it's true or not "
Pinkie sighed explicitly, causing the rest of the Mane Six to look at her. "I believe him"
"WHAT?!" The rest of the Mane Six exclaimed in shock, anger, and surprise.
Pinkie, despite being yelled at, didn't seem affected. "You heard me. There's nothing against it"
Rainbow flapped her wings in anger. "There's everything against it! He's a dragon and he's a pony!"
Pinkie shrugged and placed her gaze back on the ground, not saying another word.
The rest of the Mane Six didn't say anything either.
As Spike sensed that Rarity left the bedroom, Spike opened his eyes.
'As long as I'm with them..... they're in danger'
