The Adventures of Firework and Science Explosions: The Rise to Fame

(Author's notes): Hey everypony sorry it's been so long... Fuse didn't have his chapter cause he was sick so I decided to write a Lightning chapter. Well my brother thought it would be funny to unplug my laptop (it has no battery) as I was finishing the story so I lost it all... In a state of rage I couldn't rewrite it so Fuse wrote this chapter for me finally. Hope everypony likes it! Enjoy. :)

Fuse:

Fuse sat fuming as he listened to Lightning tell her story.  He wished at that moment that Icestorm was alive, so he could continue to beat him over and over.  Death was not enough of a punishment in Fuse’s eyes, in fact it was merciful for what he wanted to do to him. Over the past few days, as he saw just how bad that sick pony had hurt his marefriend, he grew angrier and angrier at himself and everything around him. He walled his anger in though so he wouldn’t lash at his friends, but with each word Lightning spoke that wall broke more and more. As Lightning finished with the last gruesome detail Fuse held her close. Firework walked out, and Fuse looked down towards Lightning. She looked so different. Her coat had turned a lighter blue to the point where it was almost grey. Her once beautiful, life filled eyes seemed almost hollow, void of the spark they once had. How could one pony have done all of this?

He felt his anger growing to the point it physically hurt in his chest. Fuse screamed into the air and bucked the couch behind him causing it to flip over. He pushed away Lightning as he felt the rage inside of him taking over. Firework heard the scream and ran back inside to see what was wrong. Fuse doubled over as the pain in his chest grew to a near unbearable point. He looked up to Firework and Lightning his eyes red with anger. “Get…out…”He said, his voice dripping with malice. Lightning curled up on the floor and began crying, and Firework quickly picked her up and took her outside the house. Fuse jumped up and began hitting anything in sight completely blinded by anger. He broke the lamp Lightning had brought over and his hoofs began bleeding. He didn’t care. Fuse continued hitting and bucking anything in reach. Outside Lightning began sobbing as Firework tried his best to console her.  Fuse heard these sobs and stopped. He looked down at his now blood stained hoofs. “What am I becoming?”  He thought. “I…I’m a monster.” He looked around at the disaster around him, the damage he had caused. And now he had made the pony closest to him cry. She had already been through so much pain, and he just gave her another reason to hurt. He fell onto the ground and began sobbing. “What is the point anymore?” he thought as he contemplated about taking his life. No, no matter how hurt as he felt he would never leave Lightning in this world alone.

Firework ran in after hearing the crashing stop. He saw his best friend on the floor in a puddle of tears, sweat, and blood. “FUSE!”  He yelled running up beside him. Firework had never seen him like this.  Fuse was the last person to get angry in a hostile situation, and even in heated arguments he would remain calm, so to see him like this…Firework didn’t know how to react. So he lay down beside his friend trying to console him anyway he could.  After an hour Fuse had passed out and Firework got up and left to find Lightning. She had fallen asleep right outside the door.  He picked her up and moved her inside, laying her beside Fuse who clung to her the instant Firework let go of her.

He awoke the next morning still holding Lightning, struggling to remember the prior night. It was all a rage filled blur.  As he looked around the room, it dawned on him just how destructive he had been.  It looked like the place had been ransacked. All the furniture had been tipped over, and there were multiple holes in the walls.  All that rage had now been replaced with a deep sadness and worry for how Lightning would react to this. She had blocked herself off from almost everyone but him and if she was to cut him off too, he didn’t know how he could live with himself. He tried to pull himself away without waking her, but with no avail. She began slowly waking up. Her eyes fluttered open and grew large as she saw Fuse. He couldn’t tell if she was afraid or surprised. He got his answer seconds later as Lightning pulled him close to her in a tight hug. He put his arms around her, holding back tears.

“I’m so sorry. I don’t know what came over me, I was just so angry…I’m sorry.” She stroked his back as she tried to calm him down.

“Shhh, It’ll be alright,” Fuse was amazed as this mare, who had been through so much pain and turmoil was here trying to help him through this. His love for her only deepened as time went on and he didn’t think that would ever change.

“Alright let’s get cleaning.” She said smiling at him. They worked for hours, Lightning using her magic, and Fuse using his strength to clear all the damage. They would have to get a repair man to come out and fix the walls but until then they hung some of Lightning’s paintings over them. When they had finished cleaning Fuse left to find Firework.  He had to apologize for freaking him out so bad and thank him for taking care of Lightning. He walked over to Firework's house but couldn't find him. Fuse figured Firework must be at Vinyl's house and decided to give them some space. After all he did just wreck his own house in front of him. Fuse trotted back home to be with Lightning once again.
