Darkness Deals With... What?
Chapter 10: A Mistake... What?

By: Major Frostwing

I stood back stage with the girls my back against the wall and my case sitting next to my feet. "Alright girls we got this it's not hard to beat these chumps." Dash said as I rolled my eyes. "Just gotta play our best and they will let us move on." I let out a sigh turning my attention to Sunset. She looked nervous.

"You alright over there?" I asked as Sunset jumped looking to me. That same flash of fear rippled through her eyes before she gathered her wits.

"Yea I'm alright. Just nervous is all." Sunset looked to our friends worry evident on her face.

"Don't worry about it they got this. If not... Well I am here after all." I said with a shrug bumping my case with my foot. "I did bring these with me after all."

"That's not what has me nervous. It's the Dazzlings. You said that they are an emotional type." I nodded my head as Sunset looked to me that fear came back but it wasn't because of me. "What emotion do they feed off of?" She asked as I grit my teeth clenching my fists tight.

"Son of a bitch." I muttered turning my attention to the crowd to see the Dazzlings watching from the band section. "I didn't fucking think. This is a fuck up on my part and now I got to fix it. I need you to keep an eye for me here Sunset. I need to go check some shit." I said as I stepped over my case grabbing her hand tight. My hand glowed purple before transferring over to her hand. "This is your key. If they try to do anything use Solaris. He will help you." I released her hand running off towards the school.

"How could I forget something so fucking simple? All emotional types run off of a specific emotion. I just hope they don't feed off of rage. That would fuck everything up." I told myself as I continued to run making my way towards that classroom I first met them.

When I finally arrived at the room I flexed my magic as the aether became clear to me and that's when my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach. I could feel the rage in the air. It wasn't from them... It was from the school. The rage caused by an unfriendly competition. I turned my attention to the window running over to it to see all the magic being absorbed from the emotions. "Oh sweet merciful fuck..." I muttered in horror taking a step back from the window. "I was the worst fucking choice for this type of fight. My assessment was completely fucking wrong. They aren't just Emotional types. They are fucking Ambient Emotional types... This is so fucked." I began to pace around the room running my hand through my hair as I tried to come up with some sort of plan.

"Alright we need a plan but fucking what?" I asked pulling out my phone looking for Twilight's number. "Moon. Ideas are welcome." I said as I raised the phone to my ear only for something to come down hard against the back of my head. My vision blurred before a second hit put me on the ground. I groaned as a third hit came forcing my world into darkness.

-Meanwhile in Equestria-

Red sat at home holding Bright Heart close as she paced about with worry. Something was wrong she could feel it in her heart. She knew Jon was capable of handling anything that was thrown his way but this time... This time felt wrong. She let out a sigh as she stopped pacing. She turned her attention to the Castle of Friendship her eyes hardened as she took Bright to his room to get him clothed and ready. She grabbed the diaper bag making sure everything was prepared. She stepped out of the house locking up as she strolled Bright to the castle.

She arrived in a short amount of time. passing the guards with no trouble as she made her way to the throne room. When she finally got through the endless hallways and through the double doors she saw all of Twilight's friends waiting nervously as they stared at the portal. Red walked to them and they took notice of her. "Red? Darling why are you here?" Rarity asked as Red smiled to her.

"I had a bad feeling and I wanted to come and see what was going on." Red said as she looked to the portal as it began to ripple and flex before something flew through slamming into the opposite wall of the throne room. They all turned to object that flew through the portal only to see Jon struggling to get to his feet. He was battered and beaten and to their shock he wasn't healing at all. "JON!" Red yelled as she rushed over to his side. "Jon what happened to you?" She asked as he looked up his eyes hazy and unfocused.

"They took her... I fucked up." Jon slurred as he tried to push himself back up only to collide with the crystal floor once again.

"Fluttershy get me a first-aid kit we have to stop his bleeding. Someone send a message to Celestia Jon needs help. NOW!" Red ordered as everyone jumped to get to their tasks.

"Red we don't have Spike how are we gonna send a message?" Pinkie asked as Rainbow stepped forward.

"Write the message I will deliver it. I can get to Canterlot the fastest." Applejack got to writing up the message as Fluttershy returned with the first-aid kit.

"Fluttershy assist me." Red said as Fluttershy knelt next to Jon as they set into healing him.

After an hour of cleaning and suturing Jon's wounds they finally managed to stabilize him. "That's all we can do for now we have to wait for Princess Celestia." Red said wiping the sweat from her forehead. A bright flash of light erupted in the room catching everyone's attention as both Celestia and Luna appeared rushing over to Jon to look him over.

"What is the situation?" Celestia demanded. As Jon cracked an eye open looking up at Celestia groggily.

"Sirens... Ambient Emotional types... rage." Jon said weakly before trying to get up once again. "They took Moon." Jon said as he finally got to his feet taking a step towards the portal. "I have to help them." Jon took another step only to stumble being caught by Red.

"Jon you are barely conscious. You don't have your magic and you are not healing. You should rest." Red said as Jon looked to her. Both of his eyes clouded and milky. "Your disguise is also falling the magic is fading."

Jon looked down at his feet before his body glowed and with the sound of shattered glass his disguise fell completely revealing his scarred and torn body. He clenched his hands into fists as he looked up to Celestia.

"Magic. Give me magic. Just enough to heal myself." Jon ordered as Celestia shook her head sadly.

"Jon you know the dangers of transferring Alico-" Celestia was cut off as Jon seized her by the horn dragging her head down to his eye level.

"Fucking do it." Jon growled out as Celestia glared into his eyes.

"Jon." Red said worried. Before anymore objections could be made a golden glow poured out of Celestia's horn before collecting in Jon's chest where he let out a roar of pain. His insides felt like they were on fire. His wounds closed but his screaming did not cease as Celestia continued to pour magic into him. Jon released Celestia's horn and the magic ceased. Jon collapsed to the ground gasping for breath.

"Your magic is like being bathed in fire Celestia." Jon said as he got to his feet wiping the sweat off of his face. "Remind me to never do that again." He said looking to the portal. "I'm going back in. I have to finish this." Jon took a step forward only for a hand to seize his.

"You are not going in there alone. I am going and that is final." Red said as she looked to the other girls in the room. "Look after Bright. This won't take long." Red said as She pulled Jon forward jumping through the portal before anyone could stop her.
