A Curse From a Dark soul
Gifted Powers ~ Pt. 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterEvery creature in every cellar started to bang the bars and each roaring angrily at the floating Earth Pony. Vision is starting to be pissed by all the banging, his emerald necklace started to glow brighter and brighter every second, green knives started to float at each cellar of monsters and guiltiness.
The knives charged as fast as the light and hit the prisoners, each in the heart. The loud banging and roaring stopped as the knives charged. Blood started to stream from each cellar. Vision enjoyed blood, it had been a long time since he saw blood of the others. He looked from the bloody floor and to the four creatures, three glaring angrily at him and one scanning for something in her saddlebag with a sword lock. The three had shocking and deadly weapons, but Vision only thought those were just toys to play with.
Pinkie threw two diamond bracelets at Rarity. Rarity's hoof started reach out at the bracelet without her command, it seemed unstoppable, so she gave it permission. The bracelet fit her hoof, not tight and not loose, then the other hoof did the same, she recognised the bracelet but she didn't want her hopes up, so she turned back at Pinkie, a confused look was presented on er face. Pinkie simply smiled and nodded, she wanted to bounce all around the Dungeon, but she can't, a fight was already happening in front of her.
All four were ready for battle, Vision can't wait to fight Twilight's faithful and trusted friends and family. Applejack closed her eyes while her weapon started to disperse and transform into knives with poison at the tip of it's blade. Spike's green-flamed sword turned into purple, he blew smoke out of his nose. The eye of Pinkie's mallet grew a sharp pink spike, as she shot Vision a angry glare. Rarity closed her eyes and reached her hoof out, pointing at Vision who was impressed at what they are doing, she opened her eyes and saw purple pupils instead of her original cerulean pupils.
A battle axe appeared on his hoof, and smiled playfully at the ponies glaring angrily at him. He charged first at Spike, he knew Spike is Twilight and Rainbow's adoptive son, and one of the most precious thing Twilight and Rainbow Dash have. He swung the axe at Spike, Spike quickly blocked the axe with his sword then charged up for a fire breath.
Vision jumped back at his spot as Spike burst out his green-flamed fire breath. Applejack's weapon charged at him. Fast, but not fast enough. For Vision it was the slowest among the rest as he quickly dodged the knives one by one until it was finished.
When the knives stopped attacking Vision, he turned his attention on the farmer but was blocked by a pink Earth Pony swinging her huge pink mallet at him. As Pinkie swung, Vision disappeared on mid-air and appeared behind Pinkie. He was about to attack, but was prevented by a purple shield surrounding the Earth Pony until she safely landed on the bloody stone-bricked floor. He turned his head over his shoulder looking for the protector, and saw a white Unicorn with her hoof reaching out, while the diamond bracelet glowing a purple aura.
He teleported back at his spot. Spike was across Rarity and the others are. Vision's necklace glowed a green aura while a bubble was starting to surround the three ponies. Rarity and Applejack started to bang their way out of the bubble, but it was too hard to break, even Rarity can't break it with her magic. Her raw magic.
Vision turned his head back at Spike, who was gritting his teeth,"It's just you and me, Sparkle," He chuckled,"I wonder. What was you're expression when you see you're mother, little by little suffer the pain you're real father gave her,"
"Parthox, was a noble prince. He left me with Twilight because he knew the consciences when Twilight was pregnant with me," Spike didn't want to say the name, but it felt like he had to. He hated his father, he wanted him to stay and help Twilight raise him. Twilight and Parthox ware just teens when they accidentally made love, and there goes Spike.
When Parthox saw a pony lay a dragon's egg, he wasn't mad or worried, but he was excited and happy. He was about to tell his subjects after he was sent back to his kingdom at the Far East, beyond Equestria. It was hard, especially for Twilight. They both decided to give the egg at the stolen draconic egg section in Canterlot, until Twilight entered the entrance exam then had Spike in her life again.
"Really? What if I tell you why Parthox loved you're mother," He landed and walked towards Spike. Muffled can be heard behind him, the ponies in the bubble were trying to break out from the bubble, it seems like they haven't heard the conversation so far,"He loved you're mother, because he just wanted to see you're mother to hurt when he leaves. He knew the consciences when a dragon loves a pony, and a pony loves a dragon, but he still loved her because he wanted to know what love is,"
Anger was building up inside Spike every time Vision explained why Parthox loved Twilight. He wanted to believe, but what Twilight had told him about how brave, kind and generous he was, he didn't believe every single bit Vision had said,"That is NOT true," He protested.
Vision chuckled,"Tell that to you're mother," He gave Spike a sly grin,"With the Gods up above," He charged up at Spike.
Spike just stood there, didn't move. Vision was as close as ever to Spike, and stroke a sword at Spike. Spike didn't flinched, he simply ducked and bucked Vision's chin, giving him all his anger. Their swords clashed as Spike turned back at Vision. Spike was surrounded by a faint purple aura, his pupils were also the same.
Both had the same speed, agility and strength, their fight can last long until the other is tired as hell. Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity started to break the bubble with their weapons at the same time, but it didn't work. Rarity saw what Spike did, but did not hear. The two were talking until Vision charged at Spike, Applejack wanted to break the walls with her bucking skills just to help the brave dragon. Wait. Bucking! Right, bucking is one of Applejack's strongest moves, she had always nock somepony unconscious who had tried to challenge her in a duel.
"Pinkie Pie Rarity, I have an idea. But I need y'all ta help me,"
"And that idea is what, Applejack?" Applejack charged herself up for a buck at the bubble.
Applejack bucked the bubble like she was just bucking apples on the apple trees back home, and look, it worked. The bubble started to have a baby crack. Rarity and Pinkie Pie was amazed on how Applejack bucked the bubble,"I knew it! Just like bucki'n with the apple trees back at the farm. Now, let's give this darn bubble what we've got,"
Rarity and Pinkie Pie nodded as they took their positions at the bubble. At Applejack's lead, the first time they bucked, they can hear what was happening on the outside. They can hear swords clashing, energy blasting while fire burning. Rarity was nothing but worry, she hardened her buck at the second time. The second time it seems like Vision got a little tingle, and was welcomed by Spike's fist followed by sword.
They continued to buck. Spike wasn't exhausted one bit, so was Vision. The two were facing back-to-back with each other. Vision's battle axe started crack slow, and then broke, while Spike chuckled to himself. Vision was shocked, but didn't give up, he had expected this from the dragon, after all he is Spike, Prince of the Dragon Kingdom from the East and son of the Princess Twilight Sparkle and now King Parthox theirselves.
Vision summoned a new weapon, it was a sword; it was dark, dark as the night sky. It's grip had a full moon symbol, the metal of it's blade was not ordinary, Spike can sense it. Screams were heard throughout the Dungeon, it didn't make sense but the voice was familiar. Spike charged again, his speed was amazing, Vision didn't saw Spike coming. Spike blew a slash but was again blocked by Vision's weapon.
Glass shattered alerting the two creatures fighting. Smoke was at the direction where Rarity and the others were trapped. Vision looked closer at the smoke, then turned back at Spike, he was surprised Spike wasn't even there, how come he didn't felt it? He turned back at the smoke hurriedly and was welcomed by a long chain while a reaper's blade attached at the end. He quickly jumped up, his necklace glow and he inhaled as much of wind then let out a strong breeze, which made the smoke disappear showing three ponies.
Applejack's weapon went back at her, hurting nopony. The weapon turned into a reaper's staff, they were ready for battle, as alwayse. He looked around the room with his eyes, and saw Spike at the side. The once faint purple aura, is now a purple flame surrounding him.
"That's why you all defeated my wife," Armour the same as the sword, started to equip automatically on Vision's body as his emerald necklace glowed brighter and brighter,"You all know why I am here? Did you all know why I want to kill Twilight?" The armour was as dark as night; it's breastplate and shoulder protectors had full moon symbols with the same metal as the sword's blade,"BECAUSE SHE AND YOU GUYS KILLED MY. WIFE!!" The way he shouted the sentence, it sent shivers down at each other's spine.
Vision charged, now he is using rage and brains to fight. As the girls were about to charge, a claw stopped their tracks and looked at the dragon, that was showing Vision deadly glances all over,"Girls, go and protect Twilight. I can handle this spirit,"
"Spike you're not strong enough to defeat Rainbow Dash," Rarity was on battle position.
"Trust me. I want him to eat what he had said about Parthox and Twilight," He was serious. It was really showing, by the way he spoke and stare at Vision. Rarity gasped in surprised, she never knew Spike would ever say that name again. She nodded then touched the two Earth Ponies as they quickly teleported out of the battle.
Spike observed the ponies as they teleported away the battlefield at the corner of his eyes,"It's just you and me, Vision," Vision simply smiled. Both began to charge at the same time.
As Rarity opened her eyes, it was back to it's cerulean colour. She teleported them in front of Ponyville General Hospital, she looked over at Applejack and Pinkie Pie who was glaring angry as hell at her. She backed up a little as the two Earth Ponies slowly walk towards the white Unicorn.
"What in tarnation was that?!" Applejack tone of voice had a hint of irritation and anger.
"Rarity we can't just leave, Spike on his own. He could be squashed right about now," Pinkie had the same tone of voice as Applejack's. Rarity just walked pass them and entered the hospital, the two just followed, not a word pass between them.
As they walked inside the hospital, Rarity almost crashed on a serving table that was rapidly going at her direction, it was good Pinkie quickly grabbed Rarity on her tail, even if it made it a little messy. They looked around, all were busy, the doctors and nurses were running around the hospital, lines by the receptionist are as long as a giraffe's neck. They walked slowly at the receptionist, for the private and VIP only line, the line was empty. The nurse was burring her face at the notes that had just brought in, followed by other notes.
The nurse snarled,"What will, Life do if she was in this kind of situation," She noticed ponies at her line and quickly brushed her mane with her hoof, looking a little presentable,"May I help you, Miss Rarity?"
"We are here for Twilight and the foal," Rarity spoke, her voice was nothing but sadness. The nurse motioned them to follow her, she had a depressed face as Rarity had.
"She isn't stable, making her labor as difficult as ever. But she'll come along, some nurses from the room says she is almost there," She stopped at a room with a golden plate number; twenty-six,"I'll suggest you girls wait here," They saw Fluttershy pacing back and forth, while screams of agony muffled inside the door.
The nurse left them alone, Rarity quickly hugged the canary Pegasus, which stopped from pacing when she saw her weaponised friends. Rarity cried on Fluttershy's shoulder, as Fluttershy stroke gently at her perfectly brushed mane. Applejack and Pinkie Pie exchanged confused faces, they didn't know what was going on, they only know that the fight is still on.
Fluttershy glared at Applejack and Pinkie Pie. That glare sent shivers at each other's spine,"What did you two do?" She continued stroking her friend's mane, trying to calm her down.
"We didn't do anything, we swear," Fluttershy believed Pinkie, Pinkie wouldn't lie at the Pegasus, she knows too much on how Fluttershy will hurt when a creature lies in front of her.
Fluttershy and Rarity sat at one of the seats on the waiting area, while Fluttershy continued to comfort the crying Unicorn. It took Rarity minutes of crying at the Pegasus' shoulder. It seems Rarity that has been through a lot. No, more than that, they just left Spike at the Dungeon with that monster. Fluttershy didn't seem to care why she was crying, but deep inside, she wanted to know what happened.
"W-what happened?" She hesitantly said that, but it seemed good to ask. Applejack and Pinkie Pie looked each other then back at Fluttershy.
"When y'all left, Spike was nothi'n but worry for Twalight," Applejack said slowly,"Ya know, let me just show ya," Applejack's weapon turned into a monitor.
The monitor showed the events that had happen to Spike, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity. A tear fell when she heard the name Parthox. Twilight had told her, Rainbow Dash and Rarity about Parthox, Twilight didn't meant to tell Fluttershy and Rarity but they were there as Spike shouted at Twilight. That memory still ran pass her mind, only Twilight, Spike, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and she knows about Spike's real father, when Rainbow Dash got the news she was nothing but angry at Twilight --that was actually their first fight as a couple, but it didn't happen again, we hope so.
Rarity wiped the last tear that fell from her eyes, then looked at the ponies watching the events that had happen earlier. She noticed Fluttershy was still comforting her, while she was watching the occurred events. Fluttershy seemed to know why Spike was beginning to boil his anger.
The video finally stopped, Applejack's weapon turned back into a floating box. Fluttershy seemed calm, after she heard the name Parthox, which made Pinkie Pie raise an eyebrow. A nurse came out of Twilight's room, levitating empty IV's. Applejack blocked her path, but she teleported behind the farmer like she wasn't even there.
"Hold on a minute, Sugercube," Applejack called for the nurse, but she continue to walk on the reception. Applejack called and called her, but she won't even look Applejack in the eye or turn at the ponies, there was something bothering about her, and it was clear as day.
Rarity was finally pissed and broke away from the Pegasus' comfort, her eye colour was back at purple, and blocked the Unicorn with a purple bubble. The Unicorn tried to escape, until she noticed the raw energy radiating from the bubble and turned at her back. She saw a white Unicorn with a almost ruined mane and tail and purple pupils, glaring angrily at her.
She sighed heavily,"So they know?" Rarity nodded,"My name is, Regain. Life's assistant. So what do you all want, we have a patient with a critical condition,"
"How is Twilight and the foal?" Fluttershy peeped up, trying to keep up with the conversation. She stood up between Applejack and Pinkie Pie.
"Good news and Bad news,"
"Well what er ya waiti'n for? Tell us,"
"Good News, the foal is as healthy as a athlete. The labor has been successful, the princess is already comforting the foal, we just need the father for the foal to be safer and comfortable. Bad News, while Princess Twilight is comforting the foal, she is in a critical condition, during her pregnant months, she had experienced too much of a dramatic moment, and it seems like she casted a spell while in labor. She is doing well comforting the foal, but not doing well comforting herself,"
Rarity smiled and released the Unicorn to do her job,"Wait!" Pinkie called,"Can we go inside?" Pinkie's mane and tail were half deflated, but she seems to control her voice like she isn't sad.
"When all the doctors and nurses in the room came out, you all can come in. Just don't put too much stress at the Princess," She had continued the job she was about to do, before Applejack and the others had questioned her.
All sat in each seat at the waiting area. Silence fell on the room, the only thing they can hear is the clock ticking and the muffled voices from Twilight's hospital room, even a foal's laughter can be heard. Pinkie started to put back her weapon at her saddlebag and Applejack minimised her weapon.
It took a few minutes until Doctors and Nurses started to come out of the room. Applejack quickly stood up, when one Doctor was coming at them. Their weapons were hidden, they didn't want to startle again anypony after they have arrived. The doctor was having a huge smile at her face, while she was walking her way at Applejack and the others. Doctor Lifeheart; said her name tag at her coat.
"How is she Doc?" Fluttershy questioned.
"She's beginning to recover, slowly, but her foal doesn't need any. The filly is as healthy as ever, she has a big smile at her face making her the cutest, I'll remind you she is energetic as ever. You all can go inside," The doctor left them as she goes back to the reception.
Rarity stood up followed by Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. Applejack took a step backwards at the door, giving Rarity space to open the door. A purple aura was surrounding the handle as it turned and opened the door revealing Twilight playing with her little filly. Fluttershy was beside Rarity, she flared out her wings, causing everypony that wanted to enter the room stop. Pinkie Pie knew what it meant and led Applejack and Rarity back at the waiting areas.
"Twilight?" Fluttershy walked inside the room and closed the door behind with her hoof. Twilight stopped playing with the little filly and looked at the canary Pegasus, the little filly peaked from her mother's wing; She had a dark blue coat, and a purple mane and tail, there were strands of a rainbow in the middle of her mane. There was one thing that was the cutest of all, her eyes, it was the same as her dad but darker.
Twilight smiled at the Pegasus. Fluttershy quickly hugged Twilight, avoiding to hurt the cute little filly. It took awhile until they broke their embrace, it was worth it, Twilight seemed to calm down, at least. The filly started to chew he mother's feathers, which made Twilight shiver.
"She's beautiful," Fluttershy took another glance at the filly. The filly started to cry, as Twilight quickly hold her with her hooves and started to breastfeed the filly for the first time. It tingled, but was worth it, the filly stopped crying while snuggling at her mother's embrace.
A frown crept up on Twilight's face, as she was looking at the foal. Fluttershy seemed to notice why. The little filly had a horn and wings, she was expecting a Pegasus but her guts were wrong. She started to stroke Twilight's back. Twilight turned at Fluttershy, who gave her the brightest smile that she had made in front of her before.
The two looked back at the filly, who ran her hoof across her mother's other breast making Twilight shiver, again. Fluttershy simply giggled at the filly's action, which made a train of thought cross her mind,"Uh, Twilight?" Twilight turned her head back at the canary Pegasus,"What's her name?"
"I promised, Rainbow we will decide what her name is. But for now, you all can call her whatever you like," Three knocks on the door was heard,"It's open!"
The door slammed open and revealed three ponies looking worried. Fluttershy ran at their direction and gasped in shock. Twilight wanted to know what was happening, but she needed to comfort her foal. The four ponies moved out of the way, revealing a critically wounded dragon.
