My little werewolf

“Alright. I’ll make a bet with you. If you win, I’ll bring the other elements of harmony here, and let myself be trapped in stone again. You lose… well, you won’t be in much of a position to argue.” If I wasn’t worried before, I was worried now.

“So what do I have to do?”

“You have to beat yourself, in single combat.”……..

“Wait, what?” he took this as a queue to show of his magic skills. He snapped his fingers, and then there were two of me. I was looking myself in the eye. There was no difference between us at all. Unless you count the fact that he was smiling. This was it….. The final battle.

“Fight!” at those words, I jumped back, just as the other me took a swing.

“So… you just gonna give up, like you always do? Or are you gonna stand and fight me like a man.” he said. I only had one option really. Rainbow was watching(I think) and the fate of all of Equestria was resting on my shoulders. I drew my sword.

“I will not yield.” I said, taking a swing back at him, which he blocked with his own blade. It was, quite literally, the same exact thing as mine. Same blade color, same hilt color, everything. While he was distracted by that, I took the opportunity to hit him in the chest with my shield, knocking him back a few steps.

“Dirty little bastard, ain’t ya?” it was weird, hearing myself call me a bastard, and a dirty one at that.

“Shut up and fight me.” I said, and he did. We went back and forth, neither of us able to gain an advantage over the other, blade meeting blade or shield, shield meeting chest plate, boot meeting floor as we tried to kick each others knees out.

“I can help!” yelled Rainbow Dash, rushing in to help me.

“Damn it, get back!!” I yelled, but it was too late. The other me spun around, bashing her in the face with his shield. She went flying across the room, hitting a wall. She slumped over, but didn’t move. “YOU SON OF A BITCH!! I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!” I yelled at the top of my lungs, slashing at him before he could turn around, catching him in the knee, my sword sliding through his armor like butter. Blood dripped from both my blade and his wound as we got back into it, me fighting with anger and rage, him fighting just to stay alive. I caught him again, this time in the gut, but it was a superficial(yeah, I use big words, deal with it) wound. He caught me in my shield arm, making me drop it. We fought on and on, for hours, neither having an edge. By this time, we were both cut up, bleeding pretty bad, and shield-less. I could barely stand, and his guts were on the verge of hanging out. He punched me in the face, knocking a few more of my teeth out. I spat blood onto the floor.

“You done yet?” I answered him with a roar and a heavy, two handed slash, knocking both our blades from our hands. I tackled him to the ground, beating on his face over and over and over again, not letting up until his face looked like a plate of blood covered mashed potatoes. I got back up, and got my sword. I stood over him as he begged for mercy, pleading me to spare his life, but I would have none of it.

“I told you I’d kill you.” I said as I flipped the blade around in my hand, so that the blade was pointing downward. “I keep my promises.” I drove the blade into his chest and watched as he convulsed. Is that how I’d die? Begging for mercy, shaking like I was in the electric chair? I didn’t want to know. I twisted the blade, to cause him more pain before he died. I watched him slip away with grim determination. When he was gone, I turned to more pressing matters. “Rainbow Dash!” I yelled as I ran over to her…. She still wasn’t moving…. I picked her up gently and cradled her in my arms. “I’m so, so sorry, Rainbow… I’m so.. So sorry….. I could’ve… I could’ve…. I love you, so much……..”.. she didn’t move…… she didn’t answer me… her eyes never opened….. She was gone…… I heard laughter behind me.

“Ha ha ha ha! It looks like the elements are missing something! I’ll bring them over anyway, so that they can see what ‘you’ did!” he cried. Before he could do jack shit, I interrupted him.(that’s right… it’s my turn.)

“No….. just lead them out of the forest…..” I said, releasing my grip on Rainbow as I stood up, stretching out my fingers. I heard the click of his fingers.

“Done.” he said…. Then I turned around to see him laying on the ground, rolling in laughter…. I walked over to my sword, and pulled it out of ‘my’ corpse.

“Lets see how funny it is when it’s your corpse.” I said as I plunged the blade into his throat and watched him bleed. I saw the look of pain, fear and shock in his eyes.. But I didn’t care. I just stood there while his blood pooled around me. I looked at my reflection in it…I saw a mad man, crazed and enraged by loss. I left my blade there and walked back over to Rainbow, and just picked her back up… burying my face in her mane….Crying ….. “Why did it have to end like this……. If I…. if I…. had just fought harder…… if I had… just…. Killed him sooner…………

“I, Princess Celestia, regret to inform you all of the tragic death of one of the elements of harmony…. Rainbow Dash, the element of loyalty, died while trying to help her friend fight for our very world…. But, in the midst of this pain, there is hope, and happiness. For even though we have lost one of our own, we welcome another into our world, and reward him for his brave actions. Because of him, Discord will never trouble our world again, and for that, we thank you, Christian. As a reward for your se-”

“Fuck off. I don’t want anything you have. I don’t want to be here, and I sure as hell don’t want your FUCKING RESPECT! YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT!? I WANT TO BE LEFT THE FUCK ALONE!” I cut her off, and stormed out off the throne room. Applejack tried to stop me from leaving, but I threw her aside. I didn’t care any more… I just had no reason to. She was gone. The rest of this world could burn in hell for all I cared……..
