Fight For The Light

~ Shipping? ~

~ Three days later ~

I woke up in some kind of bed with IVs, Tubes and a heart monitor strapped onto me. Pitch Black.

“Ow.. my chest” I said holding my chest.

“What happen?” I said with my left hoof on top of my head

“He's awake!” A voice said from the other room.

A total of six shadows trotted in, “Pinkie turn on the lights” said one of the voices.the lights turn and it was all my friends surrounding me.

“What happen to me? I asked in confusion.

“You were struck by some kind of attack for that guy… what was his name again?” Twilight ask the others that we're looking at me.

“Infinite's. he's my opposite, like my other Dimensional self. but evil” I responded then slowly turn my head to Fluttershy.

“Are you ok?.” I asked placing my hood back down.

“I should be asking you that” she replied as she smiled.

“I'm fine. It's just pain but I'm really sorry for not stopping him sooner guys” I said looking down.

“You did your best you could Sugarcube” Applejack responded trotting over to me.

"I know but if only I got back sooner” I replied looking down again.

Fluttershy trots over to me and lifts my head up “You showed up just in time plus you did save my life?” Fluttershy said giving me a grin.

“Of course I would, you were the only one who knock me back to my senses plus gave me a chance to prove myself” I said reaching for her hoof.

“If it weren't for you I would have never met any of my great friends.. or you, and if it came down to that same situation again then I would especially do that for you Flutters” I said as Fluttershy faces turns red

“Because of me?” Fluttershy said as she hide in her mane.

“Yes…” I replied letting go of her hoof while slowly closing my eyes,drifting off to sleep.

“Come one we should give him some space” Rainbow Dash said trotting out. the Five head out about as well but Fluttershy stayed a bit longer.

“He would die for me? He really cares about us especially me, he would?” Fluttershy whispered to herself as her face heats up again.

“Come on Fluttershy! Rainbow yelled behind the door.

“Coming!” Fluttershy said as she kisses my right cheek

“Thank you” she said as she trots through the door.

After a week in the hospital, well recovered but not able to do anything for a while. thinking about heading to Twilight's house would help. Maybe she has a spell that might help me recover faster.

I need to heal fast, I look up “Who knows we're Infinite could be?” I asked myself.

I struggle fly to The castle in a very low speed while barely off The ground. Took a minute reaching the main doors of Twilight's castle. I knock three times. no answer

“maybe no one's home?” I said turning around, suddenly someone grabs me from behind and yanks me in.

“Ow Watch the wound?” I said rubbing my chest.

“S-sorry” a voice said backing away

“It's ok” I said getting on my feet

“So what did I miss while I was in the hospital?” I asked the person in the shadows even though it was Twilight being sneaky.

Twilight steps from the shadows “not much but Pinkie had a little something. now!” Twilight yelled as the The lights turn on, Four Ponies pop out along with Three fillies and a baby dragon.

“Is this a party?” I asked as shade myself from the lights.

“Yes in deedy!” Pinkie yelled in my ear with a microphone.

“I've never been to a party, what's it for?” I asked while testing my now deaf ear

“Why for your recovery party!” Pinkie said strapping a party hat on my head and a piece of cake.

“Let's party!” She yelled.

After a few minutes I notice something was missing “Wait where's Fluttershy?” I ask with cake in my mouth.

“She said she wanted to make an appearance for someone or something like that” Applejack responded as she starts chugging Apple Cider with Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow dash finish her cider first “She has been a little getty since the hospital visit, you know anything about that?” Rainbow Dash ask them as she got a new cup of Cider.

“I passed out before you all left, so it's a mystery to me as well?” I replied back.

“Wait she's here!” Pinkie Shouted.

I finish my cake and take a drink of cider “Awesome” I said mid drink.

“Hello Everypony” Fluttershy said trotting in, She had on a white and green dress with butterflies vines sewn on the ends, White slippers, with pink eyeliner, red lipstick and butterfly earrings. I grab another cup of cider and started to chug with my eyes sealed shut

“Hi Digital how are you feeling?” Fluttershy ask as she trots over to me.

I open my eyes and look at her, I swallowed the cider and went wide eyes “Wow you look amazing?” I staggered.

she hides a blush “Hehehe thanks so… are you enjoying your party?” She asked grabbing a cup of punch.

“Yea but I'm really glad you showed up, we were missing a very amazing person. You know” I said taking another drink of cider.

“You think I'm amazing?” She asked with a bright blush.

“Yea why wouldn't you be, Your kind, Sweet, cute” I said then covering my mouth.

“What was that?” Fluttershy asked with a grin

I sigh “cute” I said taking a drink of cider afterwards.

she blushes bright red “um… I have a special Friendship lesson tomorrow morning at 9. but right now do you want to see Pinkie’s karaoke?” Fluttershy said grabbing my arm.

“I'd love to” I said escorting her to the stage.

~ The Next Day ~

The park was quieter than usual, “what Friendship problem would I need to learn here?” I ask but soon got my answers.

“Hello?” Fluttershy said tapping my shoulder.

“Oh uh hi, what's today's friendship lesson again?” I ask taking my hood down.

“The lesson, the lesson? Ah right I found out that you already did it so I wanted to tell you that you're free for today” Fluttershy said at a effort to hide the truth.

“Well ok then.. so I guess I'll get going” I replied trotting away but something Grabbed my arm.

“Wait! I was hoping.. we could do.. you know do something else today?” She asked with a shy smile.

“Ok what do you want to do?” I ask with a smirk.

“Let's have a walk around the park for a while” She said as a bird lands on her left hoof the

“Animals are so lively today" She added.

We trot casually through out the edge the park. Enjoying the nature and the little critters scurrying around “What a nice day right” Fluttershy ask trotting closer to me.

“Yea you are” I said before realizing what I just said.

“What?” Fluttershy asked while look over at me.

“Wha? nothing” I quickly replied as I turn my head to the right.

“Well look who it is the Ponyville terrorizer.. what was it Digital Swarm? ” A Pony said behind me.

I quickly turn my head “Um who are you?” I ask as I try to put on my smile.

“You don't need to know my name just call me Infinity” Infinity said trotting closer.

“What did he do?” Fluttershy asked as she stepped closer to me.

“Well let's see he public enemy number one in Ponyville and also he murdered my family!” Infinity shouted

“I'm so sorry for my reckless behavior, if there's anything you need just ask? I said placing my right hoof out.

He slaps it away “All I want for you is to leave this town for good!” Infinity yelled.

I step back from the comment “Leave why?.. sure I did horrible things but I not evil anymore” I said putting my right hoof on my heart

“I'm sorry” I said in a serious tone

“Sorry not gonna bring them back” Infinity trots up to my face.

“you are a monster. You hurt. lie. And use people for your own selfish actions” Infinity said with a grin.

“But but I..” I said look down at ground, “I know.” I whispered out.

“Now that's enough!” Fluttershy shouted stepping right in front of me.

“Sure He mess up all but he only did that because of his terrible past, so give him a break won't ya please?” Fluttershy said with a calm expression.

“Oh look who stepped in. the shy girl who has no friends. The one who finds comfort of taking care of animals”, Infinity steps closer “The one who lets anyone step over her!”

Infinity pushes Fluttershy to the ground “You need to learn to fight your own battles Miss” Infinity said trotting way.

I start to get anger. I teleport in front of him and lift him up “There's one thing messing with me but messing with a girl who did absolutely nothing to” I yelled.

I hear crying and Infinity looks over “Well looks like your friends got the message” Infinity joked as was Fluttershy flying away with tears coming off her face.

I throw him to a near tree “You should watch who you anger bub” I raise my hoof firing a blast at the tree. Destroying every last bit.

Infinity begins to look terrified “Next time it won't be a warning shot!” I said as I fly away.

I fly right back to Fluttershy cottage “If I know her by now? Then she would be crying in her house” I said as I land next to the door.

The door was cracked open “Um Fluttershy you home?” I said passing through the door before seeing her crying on her couch. I slowly trot to the couch and try not to scare her but a creek echo through the room.

“Who there?” She asked after she jumped a bit.

“I'm Sorry” I said staying in place.

Fluttershy sits up from the couch “What are you doing here” Fluttershy asked as she got off the couch.

“To see if you were ok? That guy was totally out of control and.. and he's right about me. I am a monster but that doesn't make me a bad person and I fine with that” I said stepping closer.

“But you, you are nothing what he said” I explained to Fluttershy.

“But he's right, I'm just a pushover who hides myself away with my animals.. I have nothing” Fluttershy shouted as she started to cry again.

“You're wrong. You not a pushover anymore, you never were.. and all these animals you have came to you voluntarily and you gave them a home” I said look over right at her.

Angel bunny hops over to me and I pick him up look “for example angel bunny here, you raise him for all his life and do you see him as a comfort” I said as Fluttershy looks over when I set Angel down.

“You are the kindest, bravest Pony I've ever met, you were the only one who set me free and you know why?” I asked her.

“Why?” Fluttershy replied as she wipes the tears off her face.

“Because you always give everyone kindness even they don't deserve it and. Kindness was I need it to be set free and at the courtroom, you were the only one to testify against your friends.. to save me a total strange who you did not even know, it shows that you do make a difference to this world” I said turn around that's “all I needed to say. I, I'll just let myself out” I said trotting away.

“You really feel that way about me?” Fluttershy asked with her left hoof on her heart.

I turn around to her “Yes and I meant every word of it” I said with a smile.

“I really care about you” I said.

It was a surprise to me when Fluttershy gallops and tackles me to the ground ”Whoa what are you doing?” I asked with a confused look on my face.

She moves the bangs from my face “So you really think I'm the bravest pony you've ever met huh?” She asked with a flirty expression.

“Yes” I said while holding a smirked.

“So I was meaning to ask you something?” I said.

“Hmm?” She asked as she rubs my face.

“I was wondering if you would like to go on a date wi-” I said as Fluttershy Interrupts me with a surprise kiss on the lips which gives me small shock then I slowly close my eyes. After a minute she broke away.

“Yes I'd would love to go on a date with you” She said with a smile.

“To be honest I've had feelings for you since you first showed up here, I've really noticed how much you cared about me and I thought it was something different like a small crush but when you saved my life from your opposite. I thought you meant every word you said” She said.

She kisses me again “I love you” she said looking at me with a flirty expression again.

I begin to smile “I, I Love you too.. OW! um I really did enjoyed this moment we had, But can you please get your hooves off my chest?” I asked rubbing my chest wound.

“Oh sorry” she replied quickly getting up off of me.

I laid still on the ground “It's ok, so how's tomorrow at 7 sound?” I asked in pain.

“That sounds lovely” Fluttershy replied before making a giggle at me.
