Shadow of a Nightmare

CHAPTER 3- Address Atonement

{Rated M for Language and Mature content}

To be clear, as I stared at the “Fire Elemental” my heart felt like it was going to burst. Like Luna said, it was a Bull made of steal and on fire. Unicorns, Pegasi, and Earth ponies all attacked from many directions.

So this is Luna’s personal army? Damn!

All of the ponies where in sync, as if they where one! I was amazed at the sight. “Now that is an army.” I started to run forward. The heavy sword still clenched in my mouth.

Luckily the hulking monster didn’t see me coming; this allowed me to take a slash at its left leg. As I slashed, my blade flashed red, and then radiated a soft blue. I didn’t care. I turned around quickly, dashed forward, and slashed at the right leg this time. The metal started to creek, as the Elemental fell done on its knees.

“Finish IT!” A large Pegasus yelled. I turned back to the elemental only to see magic bolts, spears, and large rocks pulverizing the hulking monster. Attack after attack, the monster started to fade into nothing.

Now that is a sight! I wonder why Luna needs me… Hold on… Is that Shadow?

As I stared at the pony, it hit me. This was not Shadow; this was the older version of her. He turned to me and flue forward. “So you are the one that saved my sister, I thank you for that.” I was taken back.

“You’re her brother?” I asked. “You are the one that killed the Alpha.”

“You remember me? I am  surprised; you did take a… rather heavy attack. Now look at my manners, my name is Dawn.” Dawn stated. “But what are you doing out of bed?”

“Helping.” I smirked.

“I see… Now tell me about that sword of yours. It is quite a sight.”

“Luna gave it to me.”

“Princess Luna.” He corrected me.

“Its Luna if your related to her.”

“I still can believe this shit…” Both Dawn and I turned to see, none other than, Shadow.

“What is wrong?” I replied.

“You saved my life, so I owe you one…” She pointed out.

“You have a point, but a date will make up for it.” I wiggled my eyebrows.

“What about this date?” Dawn asked, shocked.

“I still haven’t given you an answer, but you still have to answer some questions.”

“Then asked away.” A smirked appeared on my face.

“First- How the fuck are you so good at fighting? Second- Why the fuck are you fighting, you have over 200 stitches?! And three- Why do you want to go on a date with me?!”

“Fighting is a secant nature, I never let others fight when I can fight, and I think it would be fun.” I answered, happily.

“Well… I think we should go back inside.” Dawn started. “The food is getting cold and stuff…”

It was easy to tell that Dawn was uneasy. It might have been the fact that I wanted take his sister out, or the fact that I am royalty. I didn’t really care.

“That is a good idea.” I finally said.

“What the hell!” The three of us all jumped.

“Doc?!” Dawn asked.

“I didn’t say, ‘Hay if you can get up, you can go fight a Fire Elemental.’ I told you to take it easy! What The Fucken Hell, and don’t get me started on the strain you are putting on your body!” He yelled.

“I like you.” I said. “You are funny.”

“Get the fuck inside!” He yelled. I smiled.

“Yes doctor, but first… what is your name anyways?”

“Plasma Heart, field medic, and the only Doctor on sight. Now Go!” I saluted him, and then grabbed my sword.

“Doc, I didn’t even know you could ach like that… scary.” Shadow pointed out. “And you even got him to do what you wanted. Not even Caesar intimidated him.”

Blood started to look around, it was apparent that he didn’t want somepony around. “To be perfectly truthful…” He started, beckoning them forward. “Caesar is a pushover, and to…. What’s the word…?”

“Old?” The three ponies turned to see Caesar. “I am going to be straight with you three… I am not the monkey that I use to be.” He admitted. “But you three…” He started to chuckle. “You three remind me of my past.” He turned to walk away.

“What was that about?” Shadow asked, shocked.

“No idea…” Plasma replied.

Back inside the Mess-Hall

I slowly walked back to my seat, only to find Luna reading a letter. Her eyes slowly darted from one side, to the other. I placed my sword down on the ground, making Luna jump as I did.

“It is only thee, now how was it?” Luna asked, as she placed the letter down.

“The fight?” I asked.

“Yes, thee was very anxious to get going.” Luna replied.

“I took out the things legs, and your men took it out with a barrage of magic, metal, and rocks.”

“My sister has a letter for thee.” Using her magic, Luna floated a parchment over to me. “I told my sister about thy humanity, and she didn’t mind… much.”

Celestia’s Letter

Hello Nightmare, I am glad to say that you will not be banished to the moon. I have seen what humans could do, and the way they kill there planet. However, Luna tells me that you can be trusted. I will respect her and you, but if you show any sights of your humanity. It will be the end.

She also tells me that you are similar to our father. His name was Galaxy, and he was truly a stallion to behold. The fact that she includes you into the royal family, only shows that she knows something I don’t. On the other hoof, I do have my hooves fool… In the end, we have to meat in person. I do not like to wait, so I will be giving you a visit in two days.

Princess Celestia

I gulped… I knew that Celestia was not one to mess with. I knew anything or anyone with power… No, it’s better not to think about it. I wasn’t thinking of killing anypony, so I had nothing to be worried about.

“My sister is very protective about her subjects.” I turned to Luna, and she was smiling. “She is only worried.”

“Do you still have questions?” I asked.

“Well I know most of thy past, but there is a large gap missing. I was hoping thee would help me… what is the saying… Fill in the blanks?”

“Yes that is the saying, but you have to me more specific. What times are missing?”

“After thee got hit by the car, to the  moments before thee killed yourself at 2:13am.”

“So you don’t know…” For the next … I don’t know how many hours, I told her everything. Her expression started happy, and ended confused. I knew she was shocked about being a cartoon, and how I know more about this world then she does.

“I am find with this, but my sister… I don’t know what she will do.” Luna said.

“Princess Luna, It is time to call the moon.” She turned in shock.

“That time already?!” Luna asked shocked. “I will be only a moment.”

Luna stood up and walked to the door. As she walked away, a pony attracted my attention. It was Shadow, and as she walked over to me, her eyes glowed as if they where the moon.

“So did you enjoy your time with Luna?” She asked.

“Are you getting jealous?” I asked, giving her a wink.

“Only in your dreams!” She yelled, defensively.

“Anyways, what is up?”

“I was told… to take you to your room.” She said. “And bring your sword.”

“Lead the way.” I said, standing up. “so will you be joining me?”

WHAM! Her hoof connected with my jaw.

Authors Note-

Will Shadow fall for Nightmare’s crappie jokes?! Is Nightmare joking? You will never know, until I type the next chapter!!!… Thanks for reading! =^_^=

It was easy to tell that Dusk had butterfly. It might have been the fact that I wanted take his sister out, or the fact that I am royalty. I didn’t really care.
