A Dragons Redemtion

Shadowfall guides the three fillies through the Everfree forest as the came upon a mountain which had a cave that had a strange piece of rock that was coming out of the side. They walked past it into the cave where Shadowfall had a fire going. He walked around the fire and sat down in front of it only to close his eyes as he felt the warmth of the fire. Then he felt the eyes of the three.

“Are you going to stare or are you going to get warmed up?” Shadowfall asked with his stricken tone making them jump as they scooted closer the orange and purple filly spoke up to break the ever growing silence.

“So, what’s your name?” Scootaloo asked

“My name is none of your business.” Shadowfall said bluntly.

“Well can you tell us what kind of dragon ya are I never seen a dragon like before.” Applebloom said.

“No and stop asking questions. I am going to sleep; you should too.” He said as he got up and walked deeper into the cave.

The CMC did not trust this dragon even if he saved them something was off about him and they both felt it. They followed the dragon as he went deeper into the cave where they saw him come to sit down in front of three sticks that were were coming out of the ground.

“Hey guys.” He said out loud the CMC wondering who he was talking to. They looked at one of the sticks and noticed a helmet with a cracked visor with a hole in it.

“Jason I wish you were here. I am lost I have royalty after my god damn fucking hide and who knows what. You were always the most protective of me.” He said as he looked at one of them. As they listened the both gasped at what this meant, but this caught the dragons attention. As he snapped around and tackled the three to the ground.

“WHAT DID I SAY!?” Shadowfall screamed.

“We’re sorry we just wanted to make sure you weren’t no evil guy.” The white filly said which made Shadowfall start laughing.

“My days of villainy are over. Jason made sure of that.” Shadowfall said which did not help the CMC’s feelings towards him.

He got up and turned around to walk back to sit in front of them.

"What were their names?" the purple and orange filly asked.

He could not tell them he couldn’t, it went against everything he stood for, but then a something that Jason had said ‘Sometimes your enemies can become your allies.’ Letting out a sigh he gave in and told them.

“Fine, I’ll talk. This is is a reminder of a time long past. A past that should have never happen. This is what is left of my family. I think I should start from the beginning.” Shadowfall said

Warfang 20 years before The battle for the Sea of Ash

Shadowfall jumped to another roof as he jumped from one to another. As he noticed some of them looking up at him as they saw the strange device on his back that produced mini flames propelling him forward. He soon began to slide down the side of a roof and into an alleyway. As he pulled out a pouch and tossed it up into the air before it landed into his paw. He turned to leave until two guards were in front of him preventing his escape.

“Oh hey guys. So how’s it going, you know I would love to stay and chat, but I have someone that needs this by someone I mean me.” Shadowfall said as he charged them activating the device on his back he jumped onto the wall as he ran on it and jumped up and landing behind the guards leaving them stunned at what just happened.

“I need to thank the creators for making this. I LOVE IT!”Shadowfall said.

”I was a thief of sorts. After being left behind I had nothing else to do so why not become on top of Warfang’s most wanted list” he said as he continued his story.

He flew through the sky as he came to the outskirts until he saw the hatch he was looking for. He opened the hatch to the underground sewer system that he used to get to his little hide away. He kept walking until he came upon a door that was made of metal unlike the wall around him which was made of concrete. He pushed a code into the keypad that took him for ever to crack. After many combinations and conclusions later he figured out the code was ‘1 2 3 4 5 6’ which quite frankly pissed him off really bad. He entered the old facility and closed the door behind him.

He walked through the long corridor and noticed that some of the lights were flickering and thought he should try to fix this place up. He kept going until he came upon a room that had strange devices all over the place. He saw a red button on a device glow red which made him wounded seeing how this wasn’t here before he pushed it and a audio log as these were known as, appeared and this one peeked his interest. The creature would soon speak and what was said made him curious.

”This is audio log 756602-Alpha Omega,

We have been doing research on trying to see if the human brain can survive what we call a Hyper Brain Reactive Transfer or HBRT for short. We conducted multiple experiments on moving a human brain to another and soon found the issue. The human brain when it’s removed will shut down all together. We think there might be an explanation for this. We think that if the human brain doesn’t detect any of the internal organs or the nerve system it will shut down due to not knowing what to do. The brain is always picturing a scenario that you are in and it will make many different routes to take as possible and why the outcome might be. We will discuss this in the cognitive logs under scientific research. For now however. Project dark cloud is on the way and almost ready to go. It just needs to be deployed for a test run.“

He turned the log off and looked at it.

“Project dark cloud I like the sound of that.” Shadowfall said as he pulled out a map and started to look at it maybe trying to get clues on where to go and where to get some good food.

“So wait a gosh darn minute you were a no good stealing varmint?” The yellow filly asked.

“Why don’t you get left behind and forced to survive on your own then we will talk.” Shadowfall said. “I am getting some sleep and you should too. Now go back to the fire.” He said as they walked off he soon fell asleep.

————

He started to hear the sound of a fire crackling and feeling two masses next to him that he knew all to well. They were his caretakers he was with them again. He soon got up and walked to the volcanic Palace balcony. He lived in what was called the fire bio after the original kings defeat during the Frozen Wars. Jason took over and the Fire bio has prospered. He lived on a small island which was connected by multiple bios with the grasslands being in the middle and the market. It’s where everyone would gather. He looked up at the tall Citadel Peek which it was a mountain that was shaped like a spire so it was called the Citadel Peek. He looked at the floating islands connected and some that floated on their own. Th is was home. He heard someone walking towards him and saw it was Jason. With his maroon scales and his blood red underbelly and 4 horns on his head the bigger ones being in the middle as to simulate a crown.

“Shadowfall, I don’t have much time.” Jason said as Shadow looked up at him. “Shadowfall you are dreaming and I am here to warn you that he is returning and he will show no mercy.” Jason finished as Shadowfall looked back he saw that he was now in the grass lands as he saw a dark purple dragon with a black underbelly pick up a child which screamed and was crying out for help but it was too late as she was ripped in half as she screamed in agony the dragon approached her.

“Yes scream for me.” The dark evil dragon said as he stuck his paw inside of her torn off mid section and ripped her spin out bringing her head with it from the bottom of her. As organs and intestines were spilled everywhere as he saw that dragon approach another one and proceeded to pull on his wings until one of his wings was ripped off making the young dragon scream. He keep beating, ripping, and gutting until his eyes set upon him. Which made Shadow’s heart skip a beat. Until everything froze. He knew this sight it was him during the Demonic Ages, Nightmare.

“You must go to the capital of this place and do what none of us could ever do in a millennium. Warn them and prepare your army because this tune he will show no mercy, but first I think you should know the beginning.” Jason said as he made everything disappeared and was replaced with a lush green grass and noticed they were under a tree.

“Now let us begin.” Jason said as he laid on his stomach and Shadowfall soon went and laid next to him as he got close to him and soaked in his warmth.
