Darkness Deals With... What?
Chapter 6: You Want Me To... What?

By: Major Frostwing

It had been a few months since Twilight's and my adventure through the portal to get her crown back. That world still pisses me off but that is to be expected with the looks I got when I left that shit hole. According to Twilight The school has returned to normal and she is in constant contact with Sunset. She even wrote a few messages directed towards me. Each one an apology to what happened and some information about what people are talking about revolving around the incident. A few people say I was a big help... Others weren't so kind with their words. Didn't faze me what they had to say.

"Jon. Whatcha doing?" Red asked as I looked up from my journal.

"Compiling my thoughts." I said with a shrug. "Helps calm me down and think straight." I said as she sat down next to me looking at my journal with a frown.

"Still holding a grudge against that world?" She asked as I sighed closing the journal with a sharp snap. "I don't blame you for being upset but you have to let it go." I nodded my head when I heard a knock at the door. "I didn't know we were expecting company." Red said as I flicked my wrist summoning my pistol as I took aim at the door.

"Enter." I said as the door opened to reveal Twilight who looked panicked as usual. I dismissed the pistol cocking an eyebrow at her. "What the fuck Twilight you look like someone burned down your collection of books."

Twilight for her part pulled out a book holding it out to me. I cocked an eyebrow grabbing the book opening it only to see a single page completely obscured by one word.

"HELP!"

I turned the page seeing more was written which only confused me more. "Send Jon We need something worse than what we are facing." My head tilted to the side before closing the book with a loud snap. I got to my feet tossing the book at Twilight.

"Alright Twilight. What do you need me to do?" I asked as Twilight sighed.

"I didn't want to ask you to go back to that world due to your... distaste towards it." Twilight said trying to tiptoe past the issue.

"Absolutely hate the people of that world with an unholy passion... yes." I stated flatly. "But again it really falls down to you Twilight. I might be a monster to all forms of attack against our country but only you can give me the order to protect this other world. So what will you do Twilight?" I asked as I took a step forward getting in her face. "Send me knowing that i will judge for myself whether I should help these people or let me stay right here?" I asked as Twilight looked away looking down at the book in her hand.

"You know I can't order you to do anything Jon. So I am not going to. Instead I am going to ask you. Please. Help them." Twilight said as she finally looked me in the eye. I stood there continuing to stare her down before cracking a smile.

"Fine. I'll help them with whatever little problem they might have." I turned away making my way over to my case lifting it over my shoulder. "I expect some information on what the fuck is going on when I get there." I said walking over to Red giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Duty calls." I said as she pouted at me.

"You owe me." Red said as I chuckled.

"Forever and always." I said turning back to Twilight. "Let's get this shit started I have an itch to scratch."

"We should hurry to the portal I might have a spell that will allow us to travel outside of the time frame." I cracked a smile raising my fingers.

"Sounds like fun." I smiled snapping my fingers.

"I really hope they show up." Sunset said as her and the rest of the girls sat around the statue.

"I understand wanting to bring Twilight here to try and get this all fixed but... Why Jon?" Rainbow asked as Sunset sighed.

"Sadly. According to Twilight. Jon is an authority so to speak on dark magic. To the point that even Princess Celestia has named him as such. He is the only one in the entirety of Equestria that is allowed to study it's dark secrets and use it. In order to fight the Dazzlings we need him to break down their magic and figure out everything about it." Sunset explained leaning her head back against the statue.

"You are pretty close Sunset." A male voice echoed from the statue as a familiar figure stepped out. "I am THE authority on Dark magic." Jon said as he adjusted his case. "Good to see you haven't turned back into a raving She-Demon and force me to put you down... Again." Jon glared down at Sunset who only cowered under his gaze. "Anyway I should get to work." Jon said as he set down his case as he raised his hands a dark purple glow encasing them as he began to scan the area.

"I really wish you would wait for me to check and see if the portal was stable before you even tried going through it." Twilight said as she stepped through the portal.

"TWILIGHT!" The girls all yelled as they got up hugging the Princess of Friendship.

"Girls..." Jon muttered as he continued to scan the magic around him. "Well Sunset you were smart to call me in on this." Jon said as he lowered his hands looking around him before his eyes focused on something tracking it slowly. "Sunset ever heard of a spell called mana sight?" Jon asked as he turned away walking towards her.

"It's a very difficult spell from what I remember of it. Why?" Jon stopped in front of her before raising a hand setting it over her eyes. "What are you doing?" Sunset asked before Jon lowered his hand and she stumbled back with a yelp.

"Calm down ignore my mana and focus right there." Jon said pointing at a spot in the air. There were bits of black mist floating around the courtyard but a section of the mist was being pulled around. "All this black mist is from me. When we fought I burned a lot of mana and this is what remains of it. Something is dragging it around." Jon turned back to Sunset who only continued to stare at him in horror. "Oh right... Mana sight allows you to see through disguises... So you can see all of this can't you?" Jon said motioning to himself and Sunset only nodded. "Sunset. Focus." Jon snapped as Sunset blinked a few times shaking her head out. "Something is trying to 'eat' my residual magic which... let's just say could be very dangerous."

"How are you still alive?" Sunset asked confusing everyone except Jon and Twilight.

"Immortality does that... Now I have to figure out how to break whatever is eating my magic." Jon flicked his wrists as all of the magic rushed over to him collecting into a sphere of dark purple before him. Jon closed his hands as the magic was compressed into a solid gem before their very eyes. "And here is our bait. Now let's go catch a fish."
