Rebellious Spirit

As Fury realises Darah bumped into him, fiercely, he walks to him before grabbing his neck and pinning him to the rack beside Darah.

“Last time, you defeated me. Now, let’s have a rematch,” Fury says as he stares menacingly into Darah’s soul.

Choking, Darah tries his best to reply, “This...could be...done...easier.”

“Well, this sure will be easier.” Fury replies as Storm Rider is summoned, growling.

Suddenly…

BAM!

As soon as Fury lands on the floor, the old mare hits him a few times more as punishment of being rude. After she’s done, she hugs Darah and wishes him fortune for his life. Recovering, Darah and Fury stand up. Once Fury stands up, he tries to balance himself while getting angry from what just happened to him.

“I’ll get you later…”

Darah rolls his eyes, feeling a bit annoyed over Fury’s urge to revenge, “How long have you been like this?”

“Let the lightning strikes you a million times, I’ll kill you!” Fury replies before suddenly leaps onto Darah.

With his fast reflex, Darah dodges and quickly run outside. Not wanting to lose his prey, Fury chases him at very high speed, eventually grabbing his tail. Unleashing Storm Rider once again, it sends its claws to Darah. But before it could manage to land a strike, Sweet Death cuts Darah’s tail, giving Darah a little more time to flee.

“You won’t get away…” Fury throws away the tail part that got cut then continue chasing Darah.

While dodging ponies on the way, Darah thinks of a way to stop Fury.

“What should I do? What should I do? How did they do it in movies?” Darah thinks as he comes into a trisection with a traffic lights that have the green light on.

Running through the crowds, Darah finds a car in front of him. But just in time, he summons Sweet Death and holding onto its shoulders before Sweet Death jumps above cars, using its sword legs to support itself and Darah.

“Sorry!” Darah shouts at the ponies who got their car scratched or a bit damaged.

Continuing his escape, Darah still thinks of a way to stop Fury. As Darah runs through the streets, a friend of him witnesses them.

“What’s up with Darah now?” He changes direction into them, driving to Darah.

Once close enough, he shouts, “Get on!”

With that said, Sweet Death helps Darah to get on his motorcycle. The motorcycle bumps a bit as the result of Darah’s landing, however, he balances the motorcycle the drives quickly.

“What’s up, mate?!”

“Bad!”

“What do you mean by that?!”

“Did you see the grey pegasus? He’s chasing for a harsh revenge!”

“Really, mate?”

“Yeah! Just get me-”

Out of nowhere, the motorcycle gets slashed, followed by Fury maneuvering to come back at them. Darah and his friend fall into the middle of the road, where there are many cars driving by, Darah quickly gets up. Unfortunately, he finds that his friend landed on a car bumper. The shock makes him nearly unable to move properly. Darah then gets him into the park nearby and put him under a tree.

After putting his friend, Darah runs into a pony then ask her to call for ambulance and taking care of him. Agreed, the pony trots to Darah’s injured friend to give him first aid treatment and calling ambulance shortly after. Meanwhile, Darah takes a position to counter Fury. Summoning Sweet Death, Darah concentrates and soon, Sweet Death’s sword legs are covered in fire. Later, Fury finally makes his return by quickly flying for Darah, ready to give him more strikes.

Once Fury is close enough, Sweet Death slashes the air, throwing parts of the flames that cover its sword legs. Surprised, Fury makes a sharp turn, but alas, his tail and left hind leg catched fire.

“You’ll pay for this!” Fury says as he comes back around, this time flying very low to get higher speed.

As Fury is getting closer and closer, Sweet Death throws more flames as defense. However, Fury doesn’t give a single care of himself as he flies through the thrown flames. After flying through the flames, Storm Rider slashes the ground.

“What the?!” Fury thoughts as Darah is no longer standing on the place he was before.

Still on fire a bit, Fury flies up and manuever around the park in search for Darah. For a while, Fury hasn’t found any clue of Darah’s whereabout. As he’s flying, a thought comes in his mind.

“What if he’s hiding in the tree leaves? Of course! The only hiding spots are the trees!” Like an eagle, Fury’s eyes are focused at the trees.

Quickly, he goes into each other and let Storm Rider slashes through the leaves and branches in hope of injuring Darah very badly. One by one, the trees are getting their leaves and branches cut. At the same times, Fury lets out a cry loudly as Storm Rider cuts more and more trees.

Approaching another tree, already aiming for the upper parts, Storm Rider gets its claws ready as they’re getting closer and closer. In the middle of slashing, Sweet Death and Darah suddenly jump into Fury, getting him to finally falls into the pool nearby.

Landed safely, Darah walks to the fallen Fury. Knowing that if Storm Rider is summoned, he would get electrified, Fury got nothing more to do as his wings and legs are a little crunched from the landing. Tasting another defeat, Fury helplessly sits while watching Darah walking to him with eyes that are staring his.

“Here we go…. Finally defeated. I’m done for…” Fury thoughts as his eyes are closing, waiting for the final moment.

However…

“Hmph!” Darah grunts as he lift Fury onto his back.

“What? Why…? Why are you carrying me?” Fury questions of what’s happening right now.

“I’m sorry for this, but, let me take you to my house. My family knows better on how to treat your wounds,” Darah says as he walks to his house, carrying the injured Fury.

As Darah walks back home, the pony that helped his friend earlier tells him that his friend has been brought into the nearest hospital. Darah then thanks him, and giving him a sweet smile as a reward. The pony smiles back.

“Hey, Firey. Now that you’ve defeated me, what are you going to do to me?”

“You didn’t hear me? I’m taking you to my home and let my family take care of your wounds. Really, half of your tail and-” Darah cuts his reply once he sees the burnt wound on Fury’s hind legs.

The wound has made part of his hind legs to turn black and feeling numb. The skin can even be easily torned without pain.

After 25 minutes of walking home while carrying an injured pony, Darah finally arrived at his house. Sling that was relaxing outside while drinking coffee and enjoying the air, gets surprised.

“Darah, what happened?”

“Dad, stuff happened. I’ll telk y’all later. For now, he needs to be taken care of.” Darah’s answer confuses Sling a bit. “By that, I mean he needs to be healed. He got very nasty burnt wounds. Just look at these.”

Darah turns around to let Sling sees the injuries Fury has. Black, tornable-skin legs, and burnt tail, combined with some more injuries from the branches makes Sling feels super disgusted.

“Oh my Luna! Get him in quick!”

Inside, the family takes care of Fury with herbal medicines and serves him some foods. Fury almost can’t hold the pain as Pierce puts the leaves and tying them up before wrapping the wounds with bandages.

“Well, guess the pegasus that attacked my brother, have to stay here for a while. Probably a long time.”

Hearing from what Dikarb says, Fury gets shocked as he will be unable to do his thing. Not even seeing his house.

“For the cloud storms, I’m so done for.” Fury complains.

“Anyway, you didn’t leave something on in your house, right?”

“I don’t think so.” Fury replies.”I hope so, cus if not I’m losing my precious house.”

For weeks, The Sword Family takes care of Fury. Darah even goes with his friends to Fury’s house to keep it clean and safe. Slowly, this changes Fury’s behavior. One day, when Fury is able to walk again, he, Dikarb, and Darah goes for a trip around the city. Even though they are cool with each other, Fury is still quiet as a breeze.

As he’s looking out of the window, watching things and ponies pass as they drive around the city, Fury wants to say something, however, bitterness fills his heart. Slowly, he spits out the words.

“Hey..., Darah.”

Darah turns his head to Fury, “Hm?”

“So uh, are you the type of pony that wants to get a revenge?”

“Well, I don’t really know about that. I’d rather just go with life.

“I see. Please forgive what I’ve done.”

“Yeah. Right….”

Silence then fills the car for a while, until Fury spits out some more words from his mouth.

“I'd rather forget about it too. So please, let’s don't talk about it anymore. I don't want to remember either."

Silence fills the car once more, this time for longer. In the middle of the silence, Dikarb gets curious about some gangsters and criminals in Fillydelphia, thus he asks Fury some questions.

“Hey, Fury.”

“What?” Fury replies while looking out the window.

“Do you know any gangster, or maybe some criminals in here? Since you were...you know.”

“Not much, but do you know the recent city assault?”

“Mhm.”

“It was by Creda.”

“Creda, Creda. Where did I hear it?”

“If you wanna ask, it used to be an economic organisation, y’know, business and stuff. But, if I remember correctly, I think they changed when the new system applies. Dunno why though.”

“Thanks. Anymore for us to hear?”

“From what I know, there’s this gangster that is unlike the others, I don’t understand the way they work that much. Pretty much helping the poor by raiding the rich.”

“Kids story.”

“Exactly.”

“I managed to spot one of the member. Yellow pegasus, wears glasses, and….” Fury suddenly gets cut from telling few more thing about the yellow pegasus.

“Gah, I forget. Sorry.”

“Don’t need to. That’s quite enough.”

“Eh, anyway, can you take me to my house? Miss it, man.”

“Alright, Fury. Darah, call your friend and tell him to pack his stuff.”

“Righto.” Darah answers as he calls his friend, waiting for him to pick up the call.

Once Darah’s friend picks up the call, Darah tells him to come at Fury’s house and packing his stuff.

“Yeah, I’ll meet you there.”

“Alright alright. Gimme minutes.” He says then close the call.

After Darah called his friends, Dikarb drives them to Fury’s house, going deeper into the city, guided by Fury. As Dikarb turns right, a traffic jam hampers their trip. Dikarb puts his head on the wheel, grunting.

Meanwhile for Darah’s friend, he has arrived at Fury’s house and is now waiting for Darah. However, for the past 10 minutes, he hasn’t see any sign of him coming. Taking cover from the sun, he calls Darah.

“Yo, bro. What’s with the trip?”

“Traffic jam.”

“A’igh a’igh.” He closes the call, and goes inside, packing all of his stuff.

Finally out from the traffic jam, Dikarb puts his hoof on the pedal harder, not going to waste more time. Finally, they arrive at Fury’s house. A rather two -stories, apartment-like with a garage on its side. Darah and Fury hops out before Dikarb parks the car somewhere close.

After parking the car, Dikarb catches up with the other boys. Helping them to pack up and cleaning the house. In the middle of packing and cleaning, a dark gray unicorn walks into car, looking around before using magic to crack the window and opening the lock. Once inside, he turns up the engine by using a spell, stealing it.

As Dikarb goes out to dump a trash bag, he sees his car is being stolen.

“Stahl Beast!” Dikarb says as he summons his Stand, a steel wolf about the size as a car with some spikes on its back and tail.

Dikarb quickly hops onto it, “I hate this….”

Once done, Stahl chases the stolen car, going for its side so Dikarb can stop it. As he’s approaching, the unicorn thief sees Dikarb floating in midair without using any spell or magic. Creeped out, he drives the car faster. But unknown by him, the current car speed is no match for Stahl’s speed, thus Dikarb is able to get to its side easily. He then jumps onto the top of the car and call back Stahl.

Using magic, Dikarb pins the unicorn onto the seat. Reacting, the unicorn uses his magic to throw Dikarb onto the sideway. Landing quite hard, Dikarb stands back and summoning Stahl again, chasing after the car. This time, he tries something different. As they’re close, Stahl jumps into the air and grabs Dikarb before throwing it into the trunk. While flying into the car, Dikarb break the back windshield with magic and covering his head with his legs, landing onto the backseat.

Knowing that Dikarb has landed on the backseat, the unicorn drives the car into the right and left to prevent Dikarb from getting him. However, Dikarb uses this as advantage as the unicorn turns left and suddenly getting a punch in the face, cracking the window a little, making his head bleeds and dizzy. He then gets more punches from Dikarb until he crashes the car onto a pole. After the crash, Dikarb gets out and throws the unicorn out.

“Get off!” Dikarb says before driving the car back to Fury’s house.

Back in the house, the house is a lot cleaner with some stuff in the guest room, waiting to be returned to their original place. Going out to get some air, Darah is surprised by the absence of the car. He knows that Dikarb went out but didn’t return inside, which worries him.

“Dear Cadance, please let my brother return to our family, and our car too.”

After sending a prayer, Dikarb returns with the car, quite wrecked with cracked and broken windows and windshields, especially the back one. Not to mention, the messy interior. Darah gets surprised again, staring with wide open eyes like a fog lamp light going through fog.

“Wha….”

“Carjacker. Are you done?”

“Y-yeah, just need to get them inside the car.”

“Good. Now let’s get ‘em in,” Dikarb says as he walks pass the surprised Darah.

Going back inside the house, Darah picks his stuff and putting then inside the car. Darah’s friend does the same. After putting his stuff inside the car, Darah and Dikarb says goodbye to Fury and his friend.

“Thanks for taking me home and cleaning my house, man. Big respect.”

“Yo we’come.”

“Yeah, no problem. Stay safe now. And don’t be a bad guy.”

“How do I look like to you? Gangster?” Fury smirks.

“Somepony. Now bye.”

Fury put a hoof in the air.

“Bye too, Wind. Thanks for helping.”

“Yeah, my dude. Cya!” Wind says as he climbs inside his car and drive back to his house.

Watching his friends drive back home, Fury locks the door and make himself some fast foods, going to watch the TV.

Meanwhile, as Wind is driving, he receives a call from Kurv.

“Hey, Wind. Where are you?”

“Coming.” Wind closes the call.

Instead of going home, Wind goes to someplace hardly known by anypony in the city.
