Dark blocked a sword attack from Colt. "Man, this kid has spirit." Dark said as he grabbed Colt by the collar of his tuxedo and threw him forward and elbowed him on the neck, sending him to the ground. "Face it kid, if you don't give up now, you'll die." Dark said. Colt got off of the ground and readied himself again.

"I don't care, atleast I'll die trying." Colt said as he coughed up blood. Dark looked at Colt with a serious face. He then chuckled.

"You remind me of me when I was a colt. To bad, those days are gone." Dark said as he pointed his blade arm to the floor.

"What were you like as a colt?" Colt asked as his breathing slowed. Dark looked at him with a face of anger.

"Let's just say an event changed my life. Now, are we going to talk or are we going to fight?" Dark asked as he readied himself again. He charged at Colt and swung his blade at Colt. Colt blocked some of the swings but failed in others. He felt blood rushing from his arms, face, and torso. Colt dodged another set of swings.

"Damnit, how is he able to move so fast?" Colt said. Dark appeared behind him and sliced him across the back. Colt fell on the ground, blood rushing from his wounds. Colt breathed heavily.

"Face it kid, it's over. It would be best for you to stop while you're still barely alive." Dark said. Colt tried to get off the ground but couldn't get up. The mane 6 rushed over to Colt.

"Colt, get up! You can't die! You just can't!" Rainbow said.

"Please, get up Colt!" Rarity said as tears formed in her eyes. Twilight looked at the blood covered Colt then at Dark Fury.

"You, you're nothing but a monster who kills innocent ponies for your own gain!" Twilight angrily said. Dark looked at Twilight.

"Unless you want to end up like him, I'd watch your mouth. Besides, I'm not the monster here!" Dark said as he looked straight as Celestia. Celestia looked at Dark then looked away. As this happened, Colt was able to get up and grab his sword. Dark looked at Colt and was surprised.

"So, the kid still has some spirit in him." Dark said. "To bad, it's going to be his downfall." Dark said as he readied his blade. Colt charged at Dark but Dark put his foot in his way and tripped Colt. Dark stood over Colt. He raised his blade up. "You're right kid, atleast you're going to die trying." Dark said evily. Before he could make the final strike, Colt slowly lifted up into the air. His eyes opened to reveal that they were completely neon white. Light surrounded him and covered his entire body. The light disappeared and revealed Colt in a set of golden armor. Colt landed feat first on the ground. He grabbed his sword, making a light surround it aswell. The light was absorbed into his sword making it turn gold. "What the fuck?!" Dark said.

"Ready for round two?" Colt said as he readied himself. Dark grew angry and charged at Colt. Their swords collided making a shockwave that shook the ground. Dark retracted his blade then swung it at colt again. Colt dodged and swung his sword at Dark, making a successfull hit on his torso. Dark stumbled and held his wound as blood rushed out of it.

"How did you get this much power?" Dark asked.

"That's a secret." Colt said. Colt charged at Dark and swung his sword at him but Dark blocked with his blade. He felt the power with every hit. Colt sswung his blade at Dark one more time, Dark once again blocked but was launched across the room. He landed in the center of the room. He breathed heavily. "Time to finish you off." Colt said as his sword began to glow a bright light. Suddenly, Colt fired a beam of light directly at Dark. Dark saw this and striked the beam, making it richochet and hit the ground directly below Dark making a cloud of smoke envelop the room. The smoke cleared and revealed a giant hole in the ground and Dark was gone. "Ha, I did it!" Colt screamed. Everpony in the room cheered for Colt. Celestia smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait a minute?" Rainbow Dash screamed, making everypony else look in the direction of the Mane 6. "Where's Twilight?" Rainbow Dash said as her and the rest of the Mane 6 looked at the empty spot where Twilight was.

//SCENE CHANGE//

Twilight opened her eyes only to see darkness. She tried to use her magic to make a light but it was no use. She tried to get up but her leg was trapped by two boulders. "Somepony, help me!" She screamed but got no answer. She breathed heavily. She then heard the mving of rocks from somewhere inside the dark. All of a sudden she saw a faint but visible light coming towards her. "Thank Celestia. can you please help me?" She asked. The light then got brighter as it got closer to her until it finally revealed the pony who had the light. "No." Twilight said as she saw Dark Fury walking toward her. "Stay away from me!" Twilight screamed. Dark was breathing heavily until he stumbled on the ground. "Somepony, anypony, save m-" Twilight tried to scream but was stopped by Dark.

"Would you shut up and hold still!" Dark said as he placed his hands on the boulders and, with all of his strength, pushed them apart. Twilight was stunned by Dark's act of goodness. She moved her leg out of the way before Dark lost his grip and let go of the boulders, letting them drop back in place. He breathed heavily and looked at her.

"Th-thank you." Twiligt said as held her leg.

"Don't mention it." Dark said in a serious tone. He looked around and cast a light in the air. The light faded in only a matter of seconds. "Great." Dark said.

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

"We're trapped in the catacombs of Canterlot." Dark said as he tried to morph his hand into a set of claws but failed. "And judging by how I can't morph my hand using magic, I say our magic is getting drained." Dark said as he tried once more but, once again, failed.

"But by what?" Twilight asked before getting back up. Dark looked around and saw a glowing crystal growing out of a nearby wall. He looked at it.

"I see, it's these crystals. I don't know what they are called but they have the power to suck away a unicorns magic. If we don't get out of here soon, we're screwed." Dark said.

"Uh, what's this "we" stuff? You're evil and I'm good. Besides, why would I help you?" Twilight said as she tried to walk but felt a pain in her leg that was in between those two boulders. She fell to the floor, holding her leg. Dark walked up to her and held out his hand in front of her.

"I think you don't have much of a choice." Dark said. Twilight didn't like it but she made her choice. She grabbed Dark's hand and was pulled up.

"Fine, but as soon as we get out of here, we go our seperate ways." Twilight said in a serious tone.

"Trust me, I don't like this either." Dark said as he held onto Twiight. He looked around and saw a pathway. "Come on, the sooner we move, the sooner we can go our seperate ways." Dark said as he and Twilight walked on the path.

//TIME CHANGE//30 MINUTES//

It had been only half an hour but Twilight was already tiring out. Dark noticed that her breathing was getting heavy. "We should rest." Dark said. Twilight nodded and let go of Dark. She slowly fell to the ground and rested. Dark looked around but couldn't see anything. He couldn't feel a small breeze or see a faint light, only darkness, his element. Twilight watched as he looked around the cave.

"Why are you helping me? Not even an hour ago, you were this bloodthirsty killer, and now you're a kind pony helping me get out of this cave. Why?" She asked. Dark stood there, not answering. Twilight looked at him. "There has to be a reason why you are doing this." Twilight said.

"If you want to know why I am doing this then go ask your beloved princess." Dark said in a serious tone. He then walked up to Twilight and picked her up. "But until then, no more questions!" Dark said as he and Twilight continued on the path. Twilight was confused.

"How would the princess know him?" Twilight said to herself. Dark looked and saw a faint light. He then felt a small breeze trail across his fur.

"We're almost there." Dark said. He then tripped on something and fell on the ground. Twilight couldn't help but giggle. Dark was now irritated until he felt the ground shake. He turned around and saw that the floor was crumbling apart. Hequickly got up and picked up Twilight bridal style and sprinted towards the light. He looked ahead and saw a large gap that spread as far as the eye could see. He ran faster and faster then, at the last second, he jumped. Time seemed slow to Dark and Twilight, as if the world revolved around them. Dark landed feet first on the ground. He let Twilight stand back up. He breathed heavily and fell on one of his knees. "That was the best workout that I ever had." Dark said. Twilight walked up to him and held out her hand. Dark was confused now. "What are you doing? You could just walk to the exit now and leave me here." Dark said. Twilight shook her head no.

"I'm not leaving you." She said as she grabbed Dark's hand and forced him to his feet. She wrapped her hand around his back and walked him to the exit. They were then blinded by light from something, from the sun. They looked and saw that they were back on the surface. Twilight smiled as she looked around and saw Canterlot castle. "We did it!" Twilight said. She then looked at Dark who was slightly smiling. "Please, come back with me to Canterlot." Twilight said.

"You no damn well that I can't do that." Dark said as he let go of Twilight. "Besides, your friends will all think that I'm a monster." Dark said.

"I can explain to them that you aren't such a bad pony. I'll even explain to the Princesses." Twiligt said. Dark shook his head no. Twilight frowned. "Atleast let me know your name?" Twilight asked. Dark was slightly stunned.

"It's Dark Fury." Dark said. Twilight smiled slightly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said. Dark smiled and walked away from Twilight. Twilight waved goodbye but didn't get one back. She then walked back to Canterlot castle. "I'll have to talk to Princess Celestia about him." Twilight said.
