Heart Souls: The Loss of Harmony

"What the hell?" Bubbles would grab him by his armor and stare him down.

"You know, I could've easily not told you that detail and not been hassled by your abuse." He then smacked her hooves off of him, but she'd quickly counter it with a slap to his cheeks.

" Ouch!" He tumbled to his rump.

" Tsk, my bad... You have a slap-able face."

This was the last straw for Quilt, as he had enough of Bubble's bullying and power-tripping.

Before Bright could interfere, Quilt just suddenly pounced at Bubbles with her hoof, ready to punch her.

To Bubbles senses, Quilt was moving very sluggishly and slowly; she easily dodged the first strike of his hoof.

" You'll never hit me with that speed," she said while evading his strike.

Quilt was silent and would continue to strike her.

Just one strike at her face—that's all I want—just one punch to her face. I don't care if it kills me. This is what's running through his mind.

Bright watched this happen and could not pick which side to choose.

" Quilt! Stop! It's not worth it!" Bluebell yelled.

Cross and Tapper tried to stop them, but they began flying and were hard to reach, while Treasure wouldn't intervene in this and would actually cheer on

" I'll give you 5 bits for every hoof you land!" Treasure cheered Quilt on.

Bubbles would get bored with how slow he was.

But then, this situation reminded her of her fight with Starlight Glimmer. She felt something weird in her heart.

Why am I doing this? Her thoughts are messing with her.

She looks at Bright. He looks worried.

Quilt is crying and angry; he looks like a colt who had a tantrum.

Everything was numbing.

Wack!

Her face was swollen as something hit her face.

Quilt was stunned. He didn't expect this.

"Damn, if I knew that that would hit, I would've put more strength into it," he regretted.

He quickly tried to put in another hit, but his hoof would be broken.

" Aaaaa!!!??" He kneels down to the ground.

Everyone quickly surrounded Quilt and began defending him.

"Okay, everyone, that's enough... This is bad already. Let's not make this worse." Bright tried to calm down the situation.

Cross would begin healing him.

" Please, everyone, calm down. We can work this out," Bluebell pleaded.

She lashed out at Bluebell.
"You fool, how can we trust anyone here!? We might as well be fake!"

Bright would've had enough of this and tackled Bubble Down.

She'd slap him and yell, "You fuck! Get off me!" He wouldn't

She continued to beat him up until he let go, but he wouldn't. He'd continue to hold her down and let her lash out at him.

A drop of blood would stop her from hitting him.

" You had enough? Are you good now? You still doubt me?" Bright asked.

She pants and catches her breath while she is still pinned down to the ground. She could only look at Bright in wonder, her eyes wide and confused; curious of him. And it reminded her why she loves him.

She sighed heavily. " Fuck."

She covered her face and cried.

This was a sign for Bright to let go of her, as it seems she's back to her senses.
He falls to the side, battered and bruised.

" Damn it, now I have to heal him too. Hey tapper, I really need your help. Patch up Quilt while I look in to Bright and Bubbles."

" What me? What?" He looks at Quilt.

"Uhhh, sorry, umm..." He rummaged at his bag and applied some potions to Quilt's injuries.

" We won't need a cast, but we need to stop the swelling."

Quilt began touching the injured part to see if the healing went well. It seems there aren't any dents or soft muscles, but he noticed that Quilt seems to be lacking in muscles.

He shrugged it off, as he was a pegasi and small in stature; he was built for speed.

"Okay, Quilt, hold your tongue; I'm about to put back a dislocated bone."

As he sees Quilt ready himself, He then proceeds to quickly yank it back.

" Gahh~" he moaned softly in pain.

This stunned the both of them, and they looked at each other.

Quilt was flushed red, while Tapper was wide-eyed and stunned.
They would both fall silent for eternity if it weren't for Treasure, who just noticed them staring at each other.

He asked, as he was worried that the two had fallen silent for quite a while and that perhaps Quilt's situation was worse than they thought. " Hey? Is Quilt okay? You guys have been really silent."

Quilt panics and could not reply, and Tapper sees this.

" W-were good!... Were good."
He looked at Quilt once more. But he couldn't look at him the way he could before. He blushed and tapped her back.

" D-don't be shy, and tell me immediately if your injury's acting up, okay?"

Quilt could only nod and agree.

As Treasure was assured by Tapper of Quilt's well-being, they continued to focus on both Bubbles and Bright.

Bright's face was quite swollen, and Bubble's hooves seemed to be sprained. Nothing a little quick healing could fix.

As everyone got patched up, Bright tried hard to lighten everyone's mood and lessen the tension.

But everyone seems to have too much on their mind lately.

But Quilt would beake this silence as he wishes to add more on what they needed to do.

"Let's not waste time here, as the sun just rose. We should make a move towards Canterlot so we can have more answers before freeing her," he suggested.

"You doubt her?" Bright asked.

"Yes."his reply.

" Are you not with her, or is this another trick of yours?" Bubble scoffed.

He stood up and voiced his thoughts.

" If my memory serves me right and if it wasn't tampered with, I know when mom is hiding something from us. Ever since the civil war, she has been hiding something important to us."

" I would like to believe you, but I'm not sure if I'm that kind of a person." Bubble's jest.

"Well, fake or not, that's the only thing I have. Now it's up to you if you're going to sulk and shit. But I'm going to go up there and get the answers I seek." He then moved north, where the castle on the mountain is.

The others would look at each other and wonder what they should do.

Tapper would stand up and leave without a word. He heads north with Quilt.

Treasure would stand up as well and join his buddy. Seeing this, Apple would follow where Treasure goes.

Bluebell would look at Cross, and he too would follow them.

Bright and Bubbles were the only ones left in the village.

It was quiet.

Bright waited for a while and would suggest that they should follow them soon, but he would be cut off by her.

" Leave."
