A Glow Shines on the Fallen
Chapter 25: Anon-A-Miss Conflict
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLightning Dust was trudging through the hallway, Trixie by her side. Lightning growled “Why did Anon-A-Miss do this?”
Trixie paused as her mind began to tick over, one person came to mind “I think I know who is behind all this? I will need to speak to the Sunset and her group.”
Lightning Dust frowned “Why, who could it be that would warrant us meeting with them?’
Trixie frowned “Considering they are trying to frame Sunset but they targeted us next. Because we know who it is, remember who came to us ‘bring Sunset Shimmer down.’”
Lightning Dust growled “It’s Apple Bloom. You’re right, we need to speak to them, maybe they can fix this mess. It’s time to bring Anon-A-Miss down!” Trixie nodded, the two girls walked through the halls now driven with purpose. The two entered the cafeteria and marched over to Sunset’s table.
Rainbow frowned “Why are you two here?”
Trixie grimaced “We have good reason to suspect that Apple Bloom is Anon-A-Miss, she came to us both to and I quote ‘Take down Sunset Shimmer.’ She targeted us because we could have told you about her. We finally made the connection.”
Gilda growled “We need to confront her about this, she is going to hurt someone at this rate. She’s already hurt someone deeply and that number will only grow with time!”
Adagio frowned “Agreed, we know all too well as anyone that will only get worse from here.”
Aria snarled “We need to find her now!”
Sonata sighed “Calm down, Aria please. We will find her one way or the other.”
Applejack clenched her fists “Ah must speak with her, Ah hope you will all support through this.”
Fluttershy nodded “Of course we will! We promised that we were a family, we are right beside you!”
Cozy grimaced “We need to settle this now, we’ll follow you into depths of hell if we need to.”
Sunset took a deep breath “Is everyone here ready for this, I have a feeling this will not go smoothly. I can feel something dark lurking around Apple Bloom.”
Rainbow frowned “We should get moving before she catches on that we are on to her.”
Wallflower pointed to the door “Let’s move, we can‘t let this continue.”
Pinkie nodded as she walked to the door “It’s time to bring this to an end.” Everyone paused to watch the large band leave the cafeteria, they were searching for Apple Bloom unaware that Flash Sentry had seen everything and had left shortly afterwards.
Pinkie frowned as she looked around the near empty hallways of the school “Where do you think Apple Bloom is hiding?”
Applejack slumped “Ah don’t know, we don’t spend too much time together. It’s something Ah need to rectify but Ah’m not sure how, she seems to have no interest patching things up.”
Cozy Glow sighed “That’s my fault, she hates me and by extension Sunset as well. It has been deep rooted for years and she has told no one about it, Anon-A-Miss is a creation based off the brewing of great hatred.”
Sunset frowned “We will do our best to help her, I know what it’s like to be filled with hatred and anger.”
Gilda ducked as fist swung at her head, she snarled “Garble!”
Garble grinned “Hello Gilda, it’s been years.”
Flash Sentry, the Diamond Dogs, Rover, Spot and Fido. What surprised them was most when Apple Bloom stepped forward with a malicious grin on her face “So you discovered it was me. Too bad there is nothing you can do to stop us now, come forth Calamity.”
Dark energy surged through Apple Bloom as she closed her eyes, she began to grow as her teeth sharpened, as her hands turned to claws, her skin began to darken and two massive raven wings extended outward. Apple Bloom opened her eyes revealing crimson slitted pupils “Ah am no longer Apple Bloom, I am Calamity!”
Flash, Garble and the Diamond Dogs let out screams as she twisted them with her power. Flash transformed into a demonic pegasus, Garble transformed in a furious dragon while the Diamond Dogs were now wolves growling angrily.
Sunset closed her eyes “Girls, you know what to do.” All the girls put their hand together and a huge rainbow wave of power towards the six newly transformed monsters.
Adagio smiled as the energy subsided “I must admit that felt amazing, who knew Harmony would be so fulfilling.”
Aria frowned “I surprised we can do it to be honest, we spent years feeding off hatred and now we have become part of your little group in such a short time.”
Sonata whisper “I think we have a problem.”
Calamity giggled “You don’t get it, we all want this deep down. Your elements can’t purify or destroy us.”
Applejack focused as she transformed, pony ears forming on her head. Applejack frowned “Ah will face down Calamity, you girls handle the others.” The other girls transformed as Applejack kicked Calamity away, Applejack shouted “Apple Bloom why are you doing this?!”
Calamity laughed “Applejack, you don’t get it do you. Ah hated Cozy Glow with all of my being and Sunset is part of that. Now you are too, Ah bring you all burning down.” She threw an explosive ball of energy sending Applejack hurling backwards crashing into the wall she was interrupted when Gilda threw an unconscious Garble at her, she kicked the dragon off only to see Cozy Glow standing in front of thee unconscious werewolves while Flash Sentry was lying on the ground in front of Sunset.
Calamity kicked Garble away and drained the magic away from them “I was hoping they would be better help but it seems I need to do this alone.” Sunset and Cozy Glow rushed at her, Calamity giggled as she blocked the scythe and claws with two fingers “You two are powerful but I am the Ender of Worlds! None of you stand a chance against me!”
She kicked the two away, Applejack was about to stand only to see two familiar faces. Big Mac and Granny Smith pulled her out of the wall, Granny Smith’s eyes narrowed before she slumped “She’s too far gone Applejack. I’ve seen this hatred once before in your grandfather, there is no saving her at this point.”
Applejack growled “You can’t mean that, she is my sister dammit!”
Granny Smith looked at her “I’m sorry Applejack but your second family will all die. I made a choice to save you three from your grandfather, now you have a choice to make as well.”
Applejack stood up with tear in her eyes “Your right Granny, Ah’m sorry.”
Granny looked at her sadly “No, I’m sorry. She told about her hatred and told me to keep it a secret from you. I now see that was a mistake, this is my fault not yours.”
Applejack was about to rush in when Cozy looked at Sunset “Any ideas to beat her.”
Sunset smiled “We can merge our power temporarily, we may be able to stand against her.”
Cozy nodded “Well it seems there is no other option, let’s do it.” The pair summoned energy into there hands and pressed them together, a huge flash of light filled the room. A skeletal devil stood there carrying a scythe, with insane blur of speed she knocked Calamity over “We are Suzy Sunglow, the Devil of Death!”
Calamity was incapable of blocking the punches and cuts of Suzy, Calamity was soon laying on the ground covered in cuts. Applejack limped over and looked at the fusion “I need to do this myself, I owe her that much.”
Suzy nodded as Applejack looked into Calamity’s eyes “Ah’m sorry Apple Bloom but you have gone too far. You are willing to harm so many to get what you want and Ah so wanted you to be part of both my new family and my old but you threw that away. It has to be me, Ah ow you that much.”
Before Calamity could answer, Applejack stuck her hand into her sister’s chest and ripped out her still beating heart. Suzy saw shadow escape the girl’s body, they grabbed it between them. Suzy growled “So you are the one behind this!’
The being growled “I am the Herald of the End Times, I am the cause of all…” Szuy vaporised the shadowy creature and joined Applejack who was sobbing over her sister’s body, the once bating heart now laying on the floor.
Suzy defused as they arrived, Sunset held the sobbing farmer in a hug “I’m so sorry Applejack. We should have done more.”
Applejack sobbed “Granny new, she knew what was wrong and didn’t tell me. Apple Bloom was keeping for me, she didn’t trust me. Now she’s gone.”
Rainbow joined in “Applejack, I know this hard but we are all with you. We are your family too.”
Gilda joined the hug “We are with Applejack, no matter what.”
Cozy and Rarity joined as well “Let it all out.” No more words needed to be said as the whole group of friends, no family were all joined for a hug.
