Please Help

I t was a cold night. Months before winter wrap up. Two stallions dragging a badly scratched stallion arrived in ponyville at the hour of 12 at night. There was a Earth Stallion with tan skin with a mane of Blue, A unicorn stallion with skin as black as night and a mane of gold, and finally an unconscious Pegasus with a pale body with a mane of red and black and a tail to match. They arrived at the doorsteps of a house occupied by Twilight Sparkle and Spike the baby dragon. Careful not to disturbed the town, the tan stallion quietly knocked at the wodden door.

"Hello, can I help you?" A nervous twilight said poking her head out the door.

"Please miss, we're very sorry for waking you at this hour. Our brother was attacked days ago and has slipped into unconsciousness. Can you please help us." The tan earth pony said to twilight in a pleading voice.

"Sure I can help." She said as the two satllions face lit up. "Spike, can you please come here?" she screamed in a gentle voice.

" I'm coming". He said rubbing his eyes. Probably he was still groggy from his dream about him with Rarity together.

"Please clear the table and bring it into the living room". Twilight said searching through her vast collection of books.

"Okay okay." Spike said stumbling to take the plates,forks,spoons, and knives of the table along with it's cloth with one hand while dragging the the wooden table into the living room.

"Could you please lay him on the table?" Twilight said using her magic powers to bring a spellbook on the podium next to the table. "So what happened?" She asked curiously turning to the two worried brothers.

"Well", began the blue mane stallion,"We were picking rare flowers at the center of the Everfree Forest for our adoptive mother who's the towns florist, until a winged beast jumped us. Ezio tried to fight it of, but as you can see he lost badly. While we tried to wake him up, but the... whatever it was, it must of knocked us almost three miles. We tried to run to run back to the village, but because of the distance and us carriying Ez it took us a while to get back. When we got back", He started tearing up, "When we got back the village was burned to the ground. Everyone was dead. Even our adoptive mother was dead. It was luckily Ezio was unconscious. He would have been devistated." The two began to silently wept. "Please don't let our brother die Miss.....Miss..... I completely forgot we didn't introduce ourselves. I'm Dontoa I'm a born farmer." Dontoa said in a greeting tone. "I'm Eclipse, I'm the smart one in the group, and that's Ezio he claims he's he's the fastest thing alive." Said Eclipse looking at his half dead brother.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, nice to meet you." Twilight said sticking out her hoof to shake.

Twilight made a small cut which a small amount of blood spilled onto a sheet of paper. After she poked it with some kind of magical...thing, a green dot ozzed out of the blood dot."Okay. It seems what attacked your brother had poison on its claws. It must have infected his blood stream. He isn't unconscious, he paralyzed and can't move but left untreated he could slip into an acoma and then.." The purple pony didn't have to finish the sentence for the two to know what she means. "There's is a spell I could use, but it's dark magic and there is a fifty-one percent chance that there will be a side affect."

"What is it." Dontoa said looking at Twilight hoping that she would help.

" No one knows the affect. No one has ever tried it before or recorded it." She said looking at the spell book.

"Please try. We can't lose another loved one in less than a month." Said Eclipse with his head down, but the purple pony knew he was about to cry.

"Okay. I'll try my best."

"That's all we want." Eclipse said with a smile.

Twilight positioned herself and started to chant the words of dark magic. "En el espíritu de la Luna Pesadilla convoco a su poder para levantar a esta alma igual."Suddenly the purple pony's eyes turned into glowing orbs and a dark ray ball formed above her horn and as she said the final words, the ball turned into a beam with hit the cold, pale chest of Ezio the Pegasus.

"Is he....is he....alive?" Dontoa asked. After Dontoa finished speaking, a dark glowing, misty ring surrounded Ezio and concentrates itself into a dark line which shot into his chest. All the scars, scrapes, bruises, and open wounds suddenly disappeared. His eyes opened his eyes slowly like he was waking up for the first time.

"Estimado Celeastia. Why do I feel like a fell from the sky again? Wait
.where am I?" He said rubbing the back of his head with his hoof.

"Calm Dow Ezio it's okay." Dontoa said reashuring his frightened brother.

"Dontoa....Eclipse what happened? Why are we not in the village?" Ezio said looking around curiosily.

"It's a long story." Eclipse said.

"And then we brought you here and Miss Twilight Sparkle fixed you up with her magic."

"So they're all dead. Please tell me Aerial isn't dead."

"Sorry Ez. She is." Eclipse said while Ezio's head fell between his legs."Damnit." Ezio said under his breath.

"Hmmm?" Said Eclipse.

"DAMNIT!!!!!!" Ezio screamed and the collapse from the table to the ground in tears."If only I didn't fight the beast it wouldn't have attacked the village!!!!" Ezio was screamed at the top of his lungs. "Aw nuts." Ezio said as his face turned green and ran outside and threw up.

"What in tarnation is going on here Twilight. I cn' hear screaming from the farm."Applejack said walking in through the frontdoor.

"Sorry Applejack I was helping my three new friends." Twilight said closing her frontdoor as the orange earth pony came trotting in.

"Hey,I'm Eclipse Escrow Valtoez." Eclipse holding out his hoof. " I'm Evonchae Zeroxio Izesel Ocrassen. But most people call me Ezio for short." The Pegasus said wripping a small amount of vomit from the corner of his mouth.

"Howdy partner. What's your name?" The pony said looking at Dontoa. "I...I....I..Ddddontoa Dasuta Valtoez.." Dontoa nervously said. Of course lovestruck by the pony named Applejack.

"Well nice to meet you Ddddontoa." She said giggling as she turned to Twilight. "Twi can you try to keep the volume down before Rarity wakes up. Later Twi and guys." She said going back to her apple farm.

"Dude you have a crush on Applejack." Ezio said turning to Dontoa. "What happened to you being sick to your stomacth a minute ago?" Dontoa said annoyed.

"It passed." Ezio said while his stomach churned. "Never mind." Ezio said shoving his head out the window to once again to vomit.

The Bargain

It was a cold winter morning. According to Twilight, Rainbow Dash made the sky clear today to welcome the three new stallions in ponytown. Waking up, Ezio felt stronger and according to Eclipse and Dontoa look the best he's ever looked.
"Come on guys. Time to leave." Ezio said getting off the table after sleeping on it. Possibly one of the side affects of the spell.

"What do you mean leave?" Twilight said while Ezio was stumbling to his hooves.

"You know, leave, go, vamoose, fall back. I'm getting tired of naming things here."

You're in no condition to travel. Besides, Rainbow Dash made a prefect day to welcome you three to town. Please stay." Twilight pleaded with three guys. They all looked at each other and it was Dontoa to break the silence.

"Okay, but on four conditions. 1: We don't stay here. Nothing against you but we feel like a burden."

Ezio stepped forward."Condition numero dose: You help us find a place to call home."

Eclipse stepped next to Ezio. "Condition number three:We need a music shop to get instruments. We love making music. We need guitars, electric keyboards, and mics."

Lastly Dontoa stepped between the two. "Condition number four: the house needs a big yard and a big inside to run." They all stood their waiting for an answer from Twilight Sparkle.

"Okay. I'll try my best but on one condition from you three." She said while the guys had their attention. "I want you all to come out and meet my friends or no deal." She said waiting their answer.

"Yeah".

"Sure."

" Why not." The trio said as Twilight started to smile.

"Come on we're having lunch this afternoon. You can come then.

*two hours later*
The afternoon came for the trio of Ezio, Eclipse, and Dontoa and it was first there turn to show through their side of the bargin they had with Twilight earlier that morning. "Okay the café is just around the corner. Let's go.

"Okay we're here." The four arrived at the café and was greeted by a group of ponies sitting at a round table. "Everypony I would like to introduce my three new friends." Twilight said.

"Hello I'm Evonchae Zeroxio Izesel Ocrassen, but everyone Ezio." Ezio said greeting everyone at the table.

"Hello I'm Eclipse Escrow Valtoez. Nice to meet you." Eclipse said in a greating tone as well.

"And I'm Dontoa Dasuta Valtoez. Great to meet you all." Dontoa just like the other three.

"And guys these our my friends: Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Flutter Shy, and Rainbow Dash."

They all exchanged a " Nice to meet you." Or " A pleasure to meet you."

"So you're the Rainbow Dash who made this clear weather right." Ezio turned to Rainbow Dash.

"Yep. It's what I do best."

"Well you did it beautifully." Ezio said to Rainbow Dash in a friendly smile.

"Thanks." Rainbow Dash trying to hide the blush she felt coming on. "NO WAY!!" Rainbow Dash screamed flying out her seat. "It's Spitfire!!!" She cried out in a fan girlish schrek.

"Spitfire?!" Ezio said while thinking. "That's a name I haven't heard since high school. In matter intact it IS her. I wonder if she will recognise me?"Ezio said walking over to Spitfire. Hoping she's the Spitfire he knows. "Excuse me Ms. Spitfire."

"Wait I know that voice. EZIO!!" Spitfire exclaimed. Happy to see an old friend.

"The one and the only." Ezio said with a smile on his face.

Spitfire jumped on Ezio and hugged him like she was a long lost brother. "I haven't seen you since we graduated high school. How's Misses and Mister Rocky treaten you?" She said grinning from ear to ear.

" Well Mister Rocky passed away three years ago from cancer and Miss Rocky died."

"Oh my Celestia. What happened?" The blue Pegasus said with her hoof over her mouth.

"Apparently there was a fire about a week ago and the only survivors were me and my brothers. I was unconscious." Ezio said with a tear running down his cheek.

"I'm sorry about that, but I'm so glad I found you. I wanted to find you and ask you if you wanna join the Wonderbolts." The fire headed Pegasus asked the snow furred Pegasus.

"Sure. Sounds fun." Ezio said as Spitfire was handing him a piece of paper.

"Here. Be there tomorrow at five. It was nice seeing you again Ezey." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek and said good-bye. "You too. See you tomorrow." Ezio said walking away back to the table of ponies, unicorns, and pegasi.

"So was she the Spitfire you knew?" Dontoa asked.

"No. I just spent ten minutes talking to somepony I didn't now... okay Don I'm sorry for that." Ezio said the last sentence in a forgiving tone.

"Dude, that was so unlike you." Dontoa said scolding his brother.

"Sorry Don. I just been feeling kinda messed up since last night." Ezio said laying his head on the table.

"Maybe it's your mind reacting to a traumatic experience that happened recently. If so than I think you need some relaxation time tomorrow." Eclipse said being a brainiact again.

"Relaxation time I could use but I'm busy tomorrow." Ezio said while taking a sip of tea.

"Oh darling. You have a date with Spitfire tomorrow night don't you." Rarity said raising an eyebrow towards Ezio.

"WHAT?!!!" Ezio exclaimed both spitting out his tea and falling backwords out of his chair.

"Ow my wings. Me and Spitfire DO NOT have a date tomorrow. I would love to tell you what we are doing tomorrow but I'm just gonna keep it a secret until tomorrow night. Then, and only then, will I tell you. Be here at let's say around seven." Ezio said sounding a little annoyed.

"Sounds good to me." Fluttershy said in her usually soft tone of voice. "I have to give the animals their lunch." Fluttershy said and walked away.

"I'm gonna go too. I gotta bake some cupcakes." Pinkie Pie and bounced away.

"Well she's a living ball of energy is she." Ezio said throwing on his old,tattered robe.

"Oh no no no. You seriously can't wear that." Rarity said looking like she just saw a horror show. "Let me make you a new jacket, all three of you." Rarity didn't look like she was insisting. She was demanding.

"Well that's nice. Thanks."

"No problem darling I'll finish by the end of the week. Good-bye Twilight. Good-bye boys. It was nice meeting you." Rarity said walking away.

"Hold up Rarity I need to talk to you." Rainbow Dash said chasing after Rarity.

"I should leave too. Apples need to be collected. Later guys." The finally, Applejack left to her farm.

(With Rarity and Rainbow Dash) "Rarity I need to ask you something."

"Sure Rainbow Dash. What?"

"I think I have a crush on Ezio."

Ally

"So guys, how did you like lunch? Twilight said but the stallions knew she meant how they enjoyed her friends.

“Great."Eclipse said walking to the right of Twilight.

“Awesome.” Dontoa said walking to the left to Twilight.

“How did you like it Ezio”? Twilight said but didn't receive an answer. “Ezio, are you okay?” She said looking back, but Ezio was far away, looking at the sky and looked lost in thought. Twilight walked over to Ezio with Dontoa and Eclipse at her sides. “Ezio, are you okay” she asked still in a soft and worried tone, but he was just looking up at the sky. She got right next to him and looked up at the sky at the same place he was. She thought it was nothing until she saw a fast moving speck in the sky. After the speck moved out from in front of the sun, she noticed that is was her friend Rainbow Dash.

“There's something wrong with her, I just know it.” And right on cue a raindrop fell from the sky.

“I didn't know it was going to rain today.” Twilight said examining the raindrop.

“It isn't a raindrop." Ezio said in a serious tone. “She's crying. It's a teardrop.” Ezio said looking at the speck as it falls on a cloud. “I'll go check on her.” Ezio said spreading his long, pale white wings. As Ezio grew closer to the cloud that Rainbow Dash landed on, he could hear her crying become louder, and he started to worry. He finally got to the cloud and saw a blue Pegasus with her mane messed up, probably from her tears, sobbing into the cloud like it was a pillow.“Rainbow Dash…” Ezio started of quietly, “are you okay?” Ezio said with his hoof on her back.

“Oh hey Ezio...” Rainbow Dash said with tears falling down her cheek like a dam leaking.

“Rainbow Dash, what happened? Why are you crying?” Ezio said really worried about the light blue Pegasus.

“Okay you caught me.” She started wiping away the tears and holding them back also. “It was at the thread shop after everypony left and me and Rarity were talking…”

(With Rarity and Dash)
“Come on Rainbow Dash help me find some fabric for the boy's new jackets.” Rarity said rushing her rainbow mane friend.

“Wait your not worried that I already have a crush on some guy when we only had one conversation.”

“Of course not darling, I think you two would look cute together.” Rarity said using her magic to get gold thread.

“Hey look, it's Rainbow Crash.”Said a voice from behind Rainbow Dash. Expecting to see one of the guys from her old flight school, but instead saw a Pegasus with orange fur and a mane of snow white.

“How do you know that nickname?” Rainbow Dash said approaching the Pegasus.

“Not important, but what is important is that you stay away from my Ezzy, or I will kill you, you tramp.” The Pegasus said walking away and in a threatening voice.

“Hey!!! No one calls me a tramp and gets away with it!!!” Rainbow Dash said running to the orange furred Pegasus, but the orange furred Pegasus pulls out a miniature bat hidden in her mane and smacked Rainbow Dash in her eye and under her wings.

"Now listen you little whore. Go near my Ezio again, and next time I won't be gentle.” The mean Pegasus said kicking the beaten Dash one last time. “Oh and I wouldn't go to sleep alone tonight, I know where you live.” Then she walked out of the thread shop.”

(With Ezio and Rainbow Dash)
“Let me see the bruises.” Ezio said as Rainbow Dash lifted her wings slowly, no doubt in pain. When she lifted her wings to see her skin, it looked horrible. Swelling, blood, wood chips from the bat, and a large red mark from where she had got hit with the bat.

"Dear God Rainbow Dash, I don't think you'll be able to get home if you're banged up like this.” Ezio said worried that she could have internal injuries as well.

"I know. That's why I stopped here. I was going to rest, and then see if I can fly home.” Rainbow Dash said trying to stand up.

“I'll fly you home Rainbow Dash.” Ezio offered as the blue Pegasus fell in pain.

“Really, you would do that for me?” she said as her face lit up.

“What or friends for. Just get on my back and tell me where to go.” Ezio said with a smile on his face and lowering his back to the ground to let the wounded Rainbow Dash hop on. “Hold on tight.” He said as he jumped from the cloud spreading his wings to fly.

-At Rainbow Dash's house-
Ezio landed in front of her door and looked to see if Dash was still alright. She was alright; in fact she was sound asleep. “Rainbow Dash, wake up. We're here.” Ezio said softly as she opened her eyes.

“Ezio, y...y...you think you can stay tonight. She said she knew where I lived and I’m worried that she’s telling the truth.” Rainbow Dash said shooken with fear. “Of course I’ll stay. Now where do you keep a key at?” “I keep one under the mat.” She said while she laid her head on his fuzzy mane. Ezio looked under her welcome and found the key, but also a note which read:

Dear Rainbow Tramp,
I told you I knew where you lived and guess what; I made a copy of your spare key. Heed these words. STAY AWAY FROM MY EZZY OR I WILL KILL YOU!!!

YOUR WARNER,

ALLY.

The note made Ezio shudder. He picked up the key with his hooves and unlocked the door.

“Can you put me on the couch and get a movie, please.”Dash said in a weak tone. Ezio laid her down on the couch and went over to her movie stack. There was horror, romance, comedy, sci-fi, action, adventure, and live concert DVDs.”Can you please get Breaking Benjamin Live in Manehatten?” She said still a little weak and showed no sign of getting better.

“You're a Breaking Benjamin fan too. That's something we have in common.” She smiled as Ezio said that and put it in the DVD player. The two sat there for hours talking, watching movies, and listening to their favorite band. It was about five in the morning when they fell asleep. Both on the couch with Rainbow Dash lying on his chest.

Hell of a beating

It was around noon when Ezio woke up to see the lovely Rainbow Dash laying on his chest using it as a pillow. She was obviously up because her eyes were wide open and Saw 4 was playing on her T.V. She dug her face into Ezio's arm if she saw any part that was filled with gore (she completely skipped the‘Save As I Save’ because the rods sicken her). “If you're just going to keep your head between my arms when you see a lot of blood, then I would suggest you keep it there.” Ezio said as she slowly and carefully moved her head and eyes toward him as not to see the reason the man screaming in pain.

"Oh yea. You've seen this movie before?” Rainbow Dash said cocking her head at Ezio.

"Between one and seven on opening night and the DVDs at least sixty-two times before the fire.” Ezio finally saying something about the fire and not let a single tear fall.

"You got something on your head.” Rainbow Dash said changing the subject on accident. “Go look in the mirror in the bathroom.” She offered him and told him where to go. She was right. A dark blue spot was located right where she pointed out. Ezio plugged the sink and filled it with warm water. He took one last look at the spot trying to remember how it got on his head.

“Oh well.” Where the last words Ezio said before submerging his face in the warm water and vigorously rub his hoof on the spot hoping it would wash off. Ezio head was in the water for a minute and pulled his head out of the water to see if he got the spot off. Instead of hoping to see the spot gone he sees an ugly, scarred, stitched and skin stretched face that looked like him.

“What the he…HEY GET OFF ME!!!!” Is what Ezio says when his reflection jumps out of the mirror and presses his hooves on Ezio’s throat. “Get the heck of me!!! Rainbow hel…you're not Dash.” He was right. It wasn't Rainbow Dash. Her skin was grey a ash, her cutie mark was a chained man not a rainbow lightning bolt, and she was carrying a shotgun and put it deep in the throat of the pale Pegasus and pulled the trigger with a loud bang.

“AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” Ezio screamed as he shot up from the couch as Rainbow Dash, who was in the kitchen getting something to eat, ran over with pain from what happened at the thread shop to see if her crush was alright.

“Ezio what's wrong? Are you okay”?” Dash said looking worried

"I’m fine. You look better. Your eye is healing up.” Ezio was right. Last night it was like her under eye had plum paint on it, but now it looked like it was clearing up. “What time is it?” Ezio said rubbing his eyes and trying to get up.

“Between four to four thirty.” Dash said taking a sip from a cup. “No.. actually four fifty.” Rainbow Dash said looking at her clock.

“Oh God, IM GONNA BE LATE!!!” Ezio screamed flying out Rainbow Dash’s house.

“Wonder where he needs to be in a rush. Oh well.” Dash said about to sit on a couch until a voice entered her house.

“Hello Rainbow Tramp. I saw you sleeping with my Ezzy. I warned you. Now you die.”The intruder said pulling out a 44 and shooting the Pegasus in the spine.

-With Ezio-
“Ha-ha. That ponies and stallion, how we do it from the orphanage.” Ezio saib getting what little sweat he had from his forehead and gloating after winning his third race with the Wonderbolts.

“You’re good kid. What’s your name?”

“Just call me Ezio.” Ezio said catching his breath.

“Well Ezio. Welcome to the Wonderbolts. My name’s Soaron.”Soaron said sticking out his hoof to shake.

“Thanks Soron, but I need to go. I rushed out on a friend and I need to go back.” Ezio said flying off.

-Ezio at Dash’s house-
“What the hay.” Ezio said looking at the busted door of his friend’s house. “Nuts...” Ezio said walking in the house, avoiding the broken glass.

"Ezio…..he….help me.” Rainbow Dash said with blood filling her mouth and entry and exit wounds as well.

“Dear God. Hold on Dash. Ez said putting Dash on his back and flying to the hospital of nurse Redheart.

-At the Hospital-
“It’s not looking too good Ezio. She’s taken a hell of a beating. Bullet wounds broken bones. You name it she has it. We have her on life support but her vitals might go down. We’re going to take her off and let nature run its course. You understand right?”

“Completely.” Are the only words he can come up with at the moment until he falls in the hospital waiting chairs and breaks into major tears and grabs a nearby bucket to vomit in.

Gunshot

It was raining hard when Ezio was racing out of the hospital with tears still running down his face and still vomiting small chunks. After a couple minutes of running and flying, he finally reached his destination, Sugercube Corner.

"Pinkie open up. It's about Dash. She's in the hospital." After saying that he heard a high pitched "WHAT!!!" Coming from upstairs followed by hoof stomps coming down the stairs and the it turned to the door.

"Ezio...what happened!? Why is she in the hospital!?" Pinkie Pie said looking worried and Ezio didn't blame her.

"No time to explain. Just get everypony and meet me at the hospital and hurry. They're gonna take her off life-support any minute." Pinkie Pie ran knowing when he said "life-support" it was serious. Ezio ran too, but to Twilight's house.

-Later outside Twilight's house-

"TWILIGHT OPEN UP!!" Ezio screamed as he knocked rapidly on her door.

"Ezio what are you doing here. Wait...have you been crying?" Ezio was wondering how she could tell he was crying in the rain until he looked in a puddle and saw that even a blind pony could tell he's been crying.

"Doesn't matter. Just get to the hospital. Rainbow is on life-support and shell be taken off at any minute."

"What?! Give me a minute and I'll meet you at the hospital." Twilight said running to get an umbrella.

"Just hurry." Ezio said looking back and seeing Pinkie with Eclipse,Fluttershy, Dontoa, Applejack, Rarity, and even Spitfire was flying above them.

"Well I now know who to call when I need a riot." Ezio said jokingly as he was running to the hospital and with Twilight right next to him.

"So what happened? And don't say no time." Twilight said demanding an answer.
"Someone from my past must have been in town and and saw me sleeping on the couch with Rainbow Dash. She must have gotten in her house when I left to go to the Wonderbolt Training Center and shot her in the spine and chest, and it's all my fault. If I didn't leave in a hurry maybe.I could've caught who did it. IM A F*****N IDIOT!!!!!" Ezio said and just stopped in his tracks and broke down into tears once again.

"Ezio it's not your fault. You didn't know about it and you were late to something. She'll be okay. I know it." Twilight helped Ezio up and they ran to the hospital to see that's everyone was just sitting there. Pinkie Pie was sitting was crying over her best friend.

"Rainbow Dash's friends and family." Nurse Redheart said looking at a clipboard everypony stood up. "She's not reacting to medication as I planned. One of the bullets messed up her spinal arrangement and disrupted one of arteries. We fixed it just in time but it will only delay her death for a couple of days. That should give you more than enough time to say your good-byes. I am so sorry."

Most people in the room started to cry, mostly Pinkie Pie, except for the pale Pegasus who just stood in shock. Not moving, hardly breathing, just standing. The silence was broken by Dontoa. "Bro..if you have no place to stay tonight. You can stay with me and Eclipse." Dontoa said hoping that his adoptied brother would accept his offer.

"Thanks, but I have to get something I left a Dash's house."Ezio said as silent as Fluttershy. Then Ezio just slowly, as if he was hoping he was dreaming and going slow would somehow wake him up, walked out of the hospital and now soaked in the rain. Ezio let his wings grew out and flew to Rainbow Dash's house.

-At the now empty Dash's house-
"Man, I wonder who would even think of hurting Rainbow Dash? Now where is that picture at? Ah their it is." Ezio said picking up an old, crumbled photo with a man, a women, and a baby Pegasus on it. "Mom.....Dad....I wish you didn't leave me. I need you now more then ever."

"How about my help?" An snow white maned Pegasus said swooping in the hole where the door once stood.

"Get the hell away from me Ally. I know it was you. I found your note. We well and never will be together."

"Don't say that Ezzy. I love you and we'll be together forever."

"I don't love you Ally, in fact know that I think of it. I love Rainbow Dash Ally. Not you. Good-bye." Ezio said walking out the door before hearing a bang, a sharp pain in his neck, something warm flow down his throat, and then blacking out.

"Sorry Ezzy. If you can't love me. You are for sure not gonna love that Rainbow Tramp. Good-bye." As of that she just left Ezio their. Left for dead.

Past then Present

Past then Present

The air was filled with smoke and dust as the voices of people screaming in agony. The date was March 15th, 1981 and the war between Manexico and Equestria has risen to the point of terrorism and has ended up a terrorist attack at the wall of the EQ and Manexico border. Two Pegasi carring a red and blacked mane baby colt on their backs arose from the dust and the rapid gunfire.

"¿Dónde debemos ir? ¿Dónde debemos ir BEBÉ?" (WHERE SHOULD WE GO!? WHERE SHOULD WE GO BABY!?) The worried, dirt covered female Pegasus almost about to burst into tears from fear.

"Cálmate. Tengo buenas noticias y malas noticias. La mala noticia es que no hay manera en que estamos superando la frontera viva, pero la buena noticia es que nuestro bebé puede flotar en el río y llegar a Texas." (Calm down. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is there's no way we're getting over the boarder alive, but the good news is our baby can float on the river and get to Texas.) The stallion pegasus said looking in the red eyes of his worried wife. The stallion looked around and saw a basket, food and water, and a blanket. He put the sleeping colt in the basket and covered him in the blanket.

"Justo lo que nunca se nos olvide." (Just so you never forget us) . The mother said putting a note, a necklace, and a picture as the three not a week after the colt was born.

"Por favor, señor, vela sobre nuestro hijo tiró su vida. (Please lord, watch over our son threw out his life). And with that, the two kissed their baby on the head as his eyes opened. Revealing he had his mother's eyes. They put the basket in the river and pushed it down the river. Never to see their colt again.

-Twenty one years later-
"GET HIM TO THE ER STAT!!" Nurse Redheart said screaming as her workers were rushing a severely injured Pegasus with blood running through his bandage. Redheart walked into the waiting room inhabited by Eclipse, Dontoa, and the Mane si..... sorry. The Mane Five. "Excuse me everypony but I have bad news." "

IS DASHIE OKAY?!!" Pinkie Pie said jumping out of her seat. With her hair a flat as board.

"No she's doing better than expected now. We can take her off life-support and she should be alive and awake in a matter of hours." She said as everypony gave a sigh of relief. "It's about your friend Ezio." She said as everypony took back that sigh. "He was attacked by gunshot and got hit in the jugular vein. He lost tons of blood. Luckly we have a donor and he can be in and out in a couple of hours but really risky.The police took the bullet and said whoever attacked Ezio attacked Rainbow Dash." Everyone was stunned. Finally, Eclipse fell on the ground and prayed. Next Dontoa did the same. So did Fluttershy, Twilight, Spitfire, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack.

"Please lord don't take our brother away. We beg of you almighty spirit. Amen." Eclipse said with tear.

Dry Blood

"Heart rate stable." One of Nurse Redhearts's interns say reaching to turn knobs on the heart moniter. "Okay everything is stable except for his core temperature. John, please hand me the artificial cell temperate modulator." Nurse Redheart said with cold blood staining her gloves while possessing what could save Ezio's life. "Okay I need absolute concentratecion." She said holding a needle full of water with black little specks floating around. She jammed the needle with caution into the liquid anesthesia bag which was connected to the hind leg of Ezio. As soon as the shot was drained, the little specks shot straight from the needle, to the bag, and the into his bloodstream.

"Okay....now what?" The intern said taking his blood soaked gloves.

"Now....we wait." Nurse Redheart said walking out of the surgery room.

In the waiting room-

Everyone was silent and hoping that soon good news would come along. With Rainbow Dash still unconscious and Ezio's condition still unknown, they would take anything. "I have never been in that tense of surgery before." Nurse Redheart he said coming threw the waiting room doors with blood on has her scrubs.

"Is Ezio okay?" Dontoa said looking up for the first time in hours.

"Too early to tell, but I put my docter degree on that he's gonna be up and flying in a matter of days." Everyone was overjoyed by the new but none other than Eclipse and Dontoa.

"Wait... what about Dashie?" Pinkie Pie said as her usual puffy hair went straight down.

"What about me?" A light blue Pegasus said walking from behind nurse Redheart with a smile on her face and a little of dry blood on her cheek.

"DASHIE!!!" Pinkie Pie screamed at the top of her lungs as she nearly tackled her friend with a great hug while her hair popped up. "

Okay Pinkie....can't........breathe..." Rainbow Dash said as her face turned to a deep purple.

"Hehe. Sorry Dashie." The pink pony said rubbing the back of her head.

"Where's Ezio?" Rainbow Dash said looking everywhere in the room.

"You didn't tell her yet?" Applejack said looking at nurse Redheart.

"Tell me what? This isn't funny. Where's Ezio?" Rainbow Dash said with a serious face and a tone to match.

"Ezio was attacked at your house when he went back to get something. I'm sorry Dash." Spitfire said steeping forward. Rainbow Dash was devestated. She was about to break into tears until Pinkie Pie ran up to her.

"Don't worry Dash. Nurse Redheart said that should be up and bouncing and happy in matter of days." Pinkie Pie said
with a smile on her face.

-Eleven days later-

"So man is there a game on tonight." Eclipse said to Dontoa handing him a drink. "Sadly yes. Its Alabama vs Detroi....." Dontoa was stopped by a knocking at the door. "Oh hey Rainbow Dash. What's up?" Dontoa said greeting Rainbow Dash.

"Hi guys. I starting to get worried that Ezio won't be okay." Rainbow Dash said worried.

"Don't worry Dash. Ezio always picks himself up or gets better by the end of day twelve. If not just give him couple of hours. I swear to you, don't worry. He's gonna be just fine. Oh sorry of me do you want to come in?"

"Sure thanks." But just before she entered the house, Pinkie Pie bounces up to them.

"DASHIE, GUYS, IT INCREDIBLE SUPER DUPER FANTASTIC NEWS!!!" Pinkie Pie said bouncing around.

"Pinkie calm down. What's the good news."

"EZIO'S AWAKE. When I went to the hospital to leave him a cupcake basket, I saw him laying up with nurse Redheart." Pinkie said calming down.

"WHAT?!!." Rainbow Dash said excitedly.

"Come on lets go." Pinkie Pie said running followed by Dash, Eclipse, and Dontoa.

-at the hospital-
"Is it true?" Rainbow Dash asked nurse Redheart.

"Yes Rainbow Dash, I found him awake this morning. You can see him if you want. " Nurse Redheart said pointing to his room. Eventually Rainbow Dash found Ezio's room and was greeted by a room full of ponies, pegasi, unicorns, and strangely, Princess Celestia and Luna.

"Rainbow Dash, get over here. Somebody wants to meet you." Twilight said. Everyone moved to show a standing red and black maned Pegasus.

"Hey Dash." Is what he says before she jumps him and starts hugging him until he's face turns blue. "Okay Dash. You're killing me." Ezio said as he saw her starting to cry. "What's wrong Dash?" Ezio said lifting her head to reveal tears.

"It's my fault this happened to you. I'm so sorry." She said as she started making his fur soaked.

"Actually its my fault. I know exactly who did this." Everypony in the room gasped except for Dash. "Her name was Ally, but that isn't her real name. If I can remember what her real name is we could find her." Ezio said with his head down.

"Its okay Ezio. No one blames you." Princess Luna says speaking up.

"Ezio if you're gonna leave I need to show you something. Celestia, Luna, can you follow." Ezio let go of Dash and followed Redheart, Luna, and Celestia out of the room and down the hall.

-in the surgery room-

"What is it?" Is all Ezio can say as he stared into a jar of... something alive.

"It's a breathing life form. When I found it, it was cold as ice and was distributing poision into a heart."

"Okay I don't see how I'm involved in this."
"Ezio, it was attached to your heart."

Regrets and confessions

"Why? Why did I say yes?" Ezio said banging his head against the wall as the shower water fell on him like hot rain. "I'm putting her in danger. The longer I stay with her, the more I'm gonna fall deeper in love with her."

"What about my brothers? They may not be my real brothers, but we stood together throughout everything. They stood up for me all the time. Everytime I was down. They picked me up, but when was the last time I stood by their sides?" Ezio said as a tear rolled down his bone white skin.

"Mother and father. I never knew them, but they chose to set me free down the river while they stayed behind. They could've left me in that godforsaken country, but let me go the America." Ezio said stepping out of the shower with a towel around his body and walked toward the mirror.

"And you." He said to the mirror. "You changed ponies life's." Ezio starting to count." Marcello, Amanda, Evergreen, Dontoa and Eclipse on numerous ocassions." He started to chuckle. "You're strong no matter what any one says. Even without these powers that we have." He gave a smile into the mirror. "But what are we gonna do. Join the beast, or save our love ones. Why do I feel like Cole from Infamous 2?" Ezio said screaming the last sentence into the darkness. "She knows what to do, but I can't hurt Rainbow Dash. I just need to go to the date and just leave after. I'm a stallion of my word." Ezio said drying his mane. "Why can't I live a normal life?"

Just after the saying the mirror started laughing. "You being strong. You're nothing without me." The reflection said as Ezio looked in the face of horror and remembrance.

"No. You're not real. It was a dream." Ezio said to the stitched and bloody face of the demon from his dream at Rainbow's.

"I assure you I am real and this is no dream Ezio." The reflection said with an evil laugh.

"How do you know my name?" Ezio said stumbling for the door, but the knob disappeared.

"I know your name because it's OUR name." The reflection Ezio said with an evil smile.

"What are yo-" Ezio cut himself off. "The beast?" Ezio said shocked.

"Well a subconscious form of the beast, but yes Ezio. I'm the beast. Heed my words Ezio, fight the beast, and lose your life." The fake Ezio disappeared and only left steam from the shower. The doorknob became visible and Ezio stumbled out lading on his flank.

The hours passed and Ezio left for his date with Rainbow Dash at her house. Ezio reached out his hoof and knocked on the door.

"Ezio!!." Rainbow said as her crush walked in the door. They did the exact same thing they did after Dash's attack. They watched movies, talked, Ezio spoke about how many places he's been to and how many parents he had, and watched their favorite band, Breaking Benjamin, until the early morning.

"So they were being boring, so I decided to replace the bullet shells with hard chocolate so then they would explode chocolate. I forgot about the actual bullets inside, so it was more yummy, delicious, painful, lead poisoning for me." Ezio said laughing while Rainbow Dash was laughing with him. "Ow my neck." Ezio said rubbimg in his neck.

"What's wrong?" Rainbow Dash said looking at his neck

"Just felt a sting, but it's okay." Ezio said as Rainbow Dash and him put their attention on Benjamin Burnley as he started singing Rember Everything. Which was weird because that's Five Finger Death Punch's song, but it sounded better with him singing it. .

"Ezio, can I ask you a question?" Rainbow Dash said looking into the crimson eyes of Ezio.

"Anything Dashie. What is it?" Ezio said with curiosity.

"Ummm do you like me?" Rainbow Dash said not looking to hear no.

"Of course. You're awesome." Ezio said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, but do you..." She was trying to say the words but was afraid his answer would be no. "love me?" Rainbow Dash said preparing for a no this time.

"Rainbow Dash. You love me?"

"Yes Ezio. You're handsome and well you were nice to me when Ally attacked me. So yes Ezio, I love you." Rainbow Dash said looking directly into the crimson eyes of Ezio.

"I love you." Ezio says looking back into the eyes of the Pegasus. They stayed up for a hour after their confession and fell asleep in eachothers arms.

Ally Revealed

It was three in the morning when Rainbow Dash woke up to see Ezio laying under her as she gave a smile. "You're so cute when you're asleep." She said in a groggy voice.

"I know. He is." Said a way to familiar voice to her.

"Oh god. Please don't hurt me again." Rainbow said in sheer terror.

"I gave you one simple instruction and three three warnings, but still I don't think you know what I mean by stay away. HE'S MINE. NOT YOURS. HE LOVES ME. NOT YOU." Ally trying to emphasise every word. "You're just not getting this are you?" She said pulling out a gun with a large silencer on it. "Well Rainbow Tramp. Warning number four." She said cocking and aiming the gun towards her head. "Good-bye." She said as the loud bang echoed through the house.

"AHHHHH!!!" Rainbow Dash screamed as she found herself on the floor with Ezio holding her down.

"Thank god you're okay." Ezio said in reilief. "You were barking mad. You kept screaming which woke me up an--" Ezio cutted himslef off as he saw a tear starting in Dash's eyes. "You okay?" Ezio said as Rainbow Dash jumped and held him like a little filly holding a teddy bear or their favorite blanket.

"Ezio I had the scariest nightmare I ever had." She said through tears. "It was Ally, Ezio. She killed me." She said in a whimpering tone. "Ezio, please don't go." She said begging him.

"I have to be somewhere in a couple of hours, but you can come if you want." Ezio said helping Dash up.

"Thank you."

Hours passed and it was five pm. "Well I gotta go Dash. You still want to come?" Ezio said walking over the door.

"Yea I'm coming." She said with a smile on her face. "Where are we going anyways?" She said as she locked the door behind her.

"Wonder Bolt training grounds. Nowhere special." Ezio said as his wings began to rise from his side.

"Wait what!?" She said in complete shock.

"Wait I didnt tell yo--" Ezio cut himself off after he realized what he forgot to do. "I didn't tell anyone. Crap. Well short and simple, I'm an official Wonderbolt. You wanna get something to eat?" Ezio said while Rainbow Dash was getting a little over excited.

"No way. No way. A Wonderbolt loves me. A WONDERBOLT LOVES ME!!" Rainbow Dash said flying and prancing around while saying it over and over and over again.

"Well that won't get annoying." Ezio said under his breath with a smile. "Come on angel, lets roll." Ezio said taking off.

"Did he just call me angel?" Rainbow Dash thought with a blush and taking off after Ezio.

They arrived at the gate just in time and saw Soaron waiting at waiting at the 'Wonderbolts Only' entrance. "I see you're doing better." Soaron said with a smirk.

"Feels like a thousand ant bites but I can level through." He said as they walked down the tunnel. "Hey Soaron, can Rainbow Dash come with us. Please man." Ezio said pleading the blue Pegasus.

"Occasionally no, but since you're new why not. Just don't let her cause trouble."

"I'll try my best." Ezio and Soaron said laughing.

"So what he say?" Rainbow Dash said a Ezio walked over to her.

"Well what Soaron said was "Don't let her cause trouble." Ezio said mocking Soaron.

"You...are...awesome Ezio." She said in disbelief of what he did.

"You don't think I know that?" Ezio said as they made their way to the dressing room.

"Nice of you to join us Ezio." Said Spitfire as him and Rainbow Dash entered the room. "Okay today we'll just have a simple ten lap race. Ezio we're gonna announce you after we take the feild. You okay with that?"

"Sure." He said as he let Rainbow Dash sit in his chair as he just hovered in the air.

"Okay, Ezio we'll get you when we're ready, LETS GO EVERYPONY!!" Spitfire said charging up everyone as she followed by the other Wonderbolts, and yes, Rainbow Dash as well. So Ezio just sat their, bored out of his mind as the clock seemed ticked slower than a tank ( not Dash's tank) without wheels.

"Ugh.... My brain's gonna explode from boredom." Ezio said accidentally kicking a rock at Spitfire's locker and making a dent in the door. "Aww nu-" Ezio stopped as he saw a strange orange liquid ooze out from bottom. "What the hay?" Ezio said opening the door and saw something horrible. Orange fur dye, snow white mane dye, a exact copy of the note Ezio found, a concealed 44 with dry blood on the stock, and to top off the show, an broken miniature bat with wood chips the exact size of the ones in Rainbow Dash's skin were missing. "Oh....my....god. Spitfire's Ally." He said in pure shock.

"Ezio you're almost up." Spitfire said poking her head in the room.

"I'm coming." Ezio said as him and Spitefire were walking side by side. The victim and his attacker were walking down a long dark tunnel where you can't hear a scream.

WHAT?!

Spitfire and Ezio walked down the long tunnel while the heard the cheers of thousand of fans getting louder and louder. "Okay just wait here." Spitfire said putting her hoof on his chest to keep him still.

"I been doing that for about an hour now." Ezio said under his breath. "Wait a minute... where's Rainbow Dash?" Ezio said looking around and saw her in the stands with Eclipse, Dontoa, and finally the Mane Six. "Awesome everyone-" Ezio cutting himself off as something hit him. "Wait.... Dontoa, Eclipse, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Twilight, and Rarity. How are they in Cloudsdale? Okay I would freak out now, but not know. Your dream is already in your hooves. Now time to yank it to you." Ezio said as Spitfire took the mic.

"Okay, it's been fun today, but we have one more thing to give to you. Almost a week ago, according to Soaron, the stallion who I invited to train with the Wonderbolts, beat all these fast flyers three times in a row." The entire crowd was shocked when they found out that somepony has beaten the incredible Wonderbolts three times. "So it's a great honor for me to introduce to you. The new member of the Wonderbolt family, and an old friend of mime. Ezio!!!"

As soon as Spitfire said his name, Ezio flew out of the tunnel to the brink of the sky and closed his wings which made him free fall five hundred thousand feet into the center of the training center.

Ezio stood in attention as Spitfire walked up to him. "Ezio, you have been chosen to join the Wonderbolts because of your speed which clocked in at mach fifty."

The crowd started to to gasp and Ezio couldn't help but let out a smile. "Ezio, you truly deserve to be a Wonderbol—" Spitfire was stopped by a loud bang and crash coming from ponyville. "What the hay?" Soaron said looking at the distant crater. A huge beast rose from the crater and let out an hellish scream.

"EEEEAHHHGHHHH!!!!" The beast screamed as loud as nuke exploding.

"Oh my Celestia!!!" Some one screamed in the crowd which caused panic and a stamped of colts, fillies, ponies, and stallions. The beast spotted the mass panic and started making slow but large steps, but Ezio just stood there with a solid look on his face and slowly walked towards the beast as the beast did the exact same thing.

"Ezio...?" The beast said in a raspy voice.

"Yes. Beast?" Ezio said looking into the no pupil red eyes.

"No. I am a messenger. The beast is still in the realm of infinite shadows. I am here to deliver two things." The messenger said looking straight at Ezio. "The first thing is from the Beast himself. He says that no matter how hard you try, even if you beat him, you will die. Join us Ezio. Rule the world, have unlimited power, and be in control of the dimensions largest army."

"I'm still thinking over it. What else?" Ezio said getting annoyed.

"This." The messenger grabbed Ezio and held him in the air.
"He knows that you are not ready, so think of this as an accelerator." Right on cue, the messengers' hand started glowing as red streams went into Ezio body.

"AHHHHHH!!!" Ezio screamed in pain as if he was being stabbed by thousands of sharp needles. Ezio fainted when the messenger was done with the messeage and threw him into Sweet Apple Acres.

———— Later————
"You think he's gonna wake up Twi?" Pinkie Pie said standing over an unconscious Ezio.

"Maybe. He landed pretty hard and not a lot of people don't survive it." Twilight said with the Mane Six behind her.

"Ugh...." Ezio let out a small grunt of pain as he started getting. "Ow. I feel like I have a hangover all around my body." Ezio said struggling to get up.

"We are all happy for you being up Ezio but I have horrific news. The Beast is already on his way from the dimension of infinite shadows. Ezio, you need to train with the current Warrior of Darkness." Princess Celestia said rising among the ponies.

"Okay. I'm not even going to argue. Okay." Ezio said not even caring. "Where's the current warrior?" Ezio said on all hooves.

"Right here." An old earth pony said in a rocking chair.

"Granny Smith, what in tarnation ar' you talking bout'?" AJ said with a confused look on her face.

"Okay first of all the scroll said that all W.O.D. are blood line related and I'm a manexican Pegasus and you're a Equestrian earth pony." Ezio said holding his head up as if he was about to pass out.

"Oh yea youngster. Watch this." Granny Smith said getting up from her chair and putting her hoof in the air with a stream of blue energy flew out of it as everypony back up.

"Wait if you say that all of you Warriors all blood lined related. Does that mean me, Applebloom, and Big Macintosh are cousins to Ezio?" Applejack said still confusied.

"Course not Apple. You're brother and sister." Granny Smith said sitting back in her chair.

Both Applejack and Ezio both let out a unison "WHAT?!!"

This Day We Fight

A powerful earthquake striked Equestria with enough power they could see the castle shake.

"Oh no. We're too late." Princess Celestia said with a look of dispair on her face.

"No. Princess Celestia, it's not too late. Evacuate everypony in Equestria to Applelossa. It. Ends. Now." Ezio said as bone blades shot from his hooves. "Okay once again, this is gonna be fun." Ezio said with a smirk

"What about you Ezio?"

"I'm gonna fight. If I die you'll be the last line of defence." Ezio said spreading his wings. "And if he's too strong retreat. Don't stop. Just run." Ezio said as he stared into the new crater as something stirred. "He's waking. Run. Get to Applelossa and don't stop." Ezio said running towards the crater.

"Ezio wait!!" Rainbow Dash said running towards Ezio before he took off, and gave him a kiss then hugged him.

"Please be careful." Rainbow Dash said as she started to cry.

"Don't worry angel. I'll be okay." Ezio said moving some hair out of her eyes, careful not to cut her with his bone blade. "

Suddenly a loud roar came from the crater.

"Okay. Just like I said, Celestia get everypony out of here and to Appleloosa. Time to rock and clock!" Ezio said with part confidence and part insanity.

Ezio flew over to ground zero of the explosion and saw a large beast standing in the middle.

"WWWAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!" The beast yelled, breaking the glass of the now abandoned houses and looked down.

"Ezio...?" The beast said with curiosity in the raspy voice like the messenger.

"Cé. No doubt you're the beast." Ezio said with a serious look.

"Yes. Have you decided? Join me or die." The beast said holding his palm of his hand.

"Yes I have. I choose...... my friends!!" Ezio said jumping out of the beast's hand and shooting a wide blue beam out of his hoof, but the beast quickly recovered and backed handed him and landed into the abandoned tree of Twilight's house.

"You're a strong one." The beast said while picking Ezio and aiming a red energy ball close to his face. "One last time. Join or die?" The beast said as cold blood ran down Ezio's face from a new open wound, but all Ezio did was spit straight into the glowing eyes of the beast. "Wrong answer." The beast said as he blasted Ezio with the ball right between the eyes.

"I...ccant....be....I'm...not....ready......" Ezio said in pain as blood ran down his left ear.

"Maybe we cn' help sugercube." A familiar voice said with a smile.

"Applejack...wait we?" Ezio said as blood ran down his cheek.

"You heard her Ez." Dontoa said next to her with the other Mane Six, Celestia and Luna, and even Discord.

"Ezio I forgot to give you this." Celstia said handed him a jem with a weird mark on it. "It's one of the shunned elements of harmony. The element of darkness." She said as Ezio saw the mark as a dark mist. "And also two for you and Eclipse. The element of chaos and destruction." She said handing Dontoa and Eclipse two jems.

"So you all want to fight with me?" Ezio said stumbling to his hooves."

Everypony, and Discord, agreed.

"Okay. Stallions and ponies and dragon thingy, THIS DAY WE FIGHT!!!" Ezio screamed at the top of his lungs as everpomy let out a battle cry. Ezio knew how it would end. He would win.

Poison

"Well I see you brought your friends to fight by your side. No matter. More lives to kill. I just send my army of the damned around the world and conquer it while I destroy you." The beast said thinking this would be an easy fight.

"You're wrong beast." Dontoa said walking forward. "It doesn't matter how large your army is."

"We've got two things your army doesn't have." Eclise said with a smirk.

"Friends and love. Two things you will NEVER have." Ezio said standing by his two brothers.

"Don't make me laugh. Love.....Friendship. WORTHLESS!!!. Don't you see? Fear is the most important thing in the world. Everything and everypony fears me. Even you three." The beast said laughing.

"Fear you? You seriously think we're afraid of you? I'm more afraid of cute, little, fluffy, baby bunnies than you." Ezio said as he said laughing.

"Oh you fear me. Let me show you." The beast transforming into a face which sent the stallions into shock.

"Oh." Eclipse said as his eyes went wide.

"My." Dontoa said as he couldn't believe.

"Dios." Ezio said speaking in Spanish.

Ezio, Dontoa, and Eclipse almost shed a tear at what they saw. They saw a small, but strong dragon with eyes still as red as hell, wings like knives, and claws that had a mysterious green liquid dripping from them, but it wasn't a mystery to Ezio and Twilight. Poison.

"Yyoouu STONE HEARTED BASTERD!!!" Eclipse screamed at the top of his lungs.

"What's wrong Eclipse?" Fluttershy said behind him.

"That basterd burned down our village. I'll never forget a face of somepony who did that." Dontoa said gritting through his teeth.

"Ohh boy. It's gonna be fun killing you." Ezio said with anger written across his face.

"Oh don't worry boys. I made sure Aerial suffered a slow and painful death." The beast said laughing like a mad man. Which just tick them off even more.

"SHUT UP!!" Ezio screamed as he threw a ball of dark energy and just like last time the beast quickly recovered and was angry.

"YOU LITTLE RUNT!!" The beast screamed shooting a beam at Ezio's hooves and suddenly he couldn't move. "Now to eliminate my only real threat." The beast said as he charged a dark lightning ball from the air itself.

"EZIO MOVE!!" Dontoa said pulling his brother, but to no avail. The ball was growing but Ezio wasn't budgeing. Rainbow Dash was getting scared. The stallion she love was about to die, but not if she had anything to do with it. She made a beeline towards the side of Ezio which broke the crust melding gin to the ground. The ball was released at an incredible speed which Ezio's tail got burnt. But for Dash, she wasn't so lucky.

"RAINBOW DASH!!" Ezio screamed as he saw the greatest mare he has ever known be hit straight in the side by the ball and leaving behind a bloody mess where a mauled Pegasus laid.

Astrial

"RAINBOW DASH!!" Ezio screamed as the dust cleared and saw a lifeless mare in a crater with small amounts of fire around it. "RAINBOW DASH!!! LET GO OF ME!!!" Ezio said still screaming and trying to get out from his brothers hold. "I SAID LET GO OF ME!!!" Ezio said finally able to squeeze out of their hold and stumble over forwards Rainbow Dash as she laid there, dead. "PLEASE DIOS, OH PLEASE DIOS BE OKAY!!!" Ezio said in tears of sorrow.

"E....E....Ezio.....ar.....are...you...there?" Rainbow Dash said with hazy eyes, blood filling her mouth, and her body drained of energy.

"Rainbow. Please don't leave. You're just too important to me. I've lost so many people in my life and I can't live without you." Ezio said as tears flowed down his face and her hoof on his cheek.

"Ezio....(coughs up blood) it's...(coughs up more blood) getting...hard...to...breathe." Rainbow Dash said as small tears flowed down her swollen eye and her heavy and hoarse breathing started to slow down

"Dashie don't worry. You'll be okay." Pinkie said with her hair down knowing that she wouldn't make it.

Rainbow Dash coughed up more blood and was breathing heavily. "Ezio...." Rainbow Dash paused for a minute to get some more air and cough up even more blood. "Kick his flank." Rainbow Dash said as she spoke her final words. Ezio could actually feel her spirit leave her body and disappear into the heavens.

"Is she.." Twilight said not finishing the sentence.

"Yes." Ezio lowered the opening eyes of the dead mare. "Descanse en paz.(Rest In Peace) Mi amor."(My love). Ezio said as rivers of tears flowed from the eyes Pinkie Pie.

A blue ring surrounded Ezio as energy started being pulled from the sky and ground and shot into Ezio, but he wasn't screaming in agony. He knew what was about to happen. The red sky started to release lighting which struck Ezio as if was was a lighting rod. Still he wasn't screaming in agony.

"YOU...ARE....GOING...TO...REGRET..THAT!!!" Ezio said as he was as mad as he has ever been and the lighting started to pick up with his voice hitting as deep as the beast voice.

"Yes. Anger,revenge. Those emotions fuel me and they feel so much better coming from the Warrior of Darkness himself." The beast said as a sinister smile slid across his face.

"She was an innocent Pegasus. And you killed her. I am gonna make sure you will never hurt another pony ever again."

"Innocent? She had guilty written all over her. She abandons her friends, cheats every chance she got, blows off her job to sleep in. Element of Loyalty, funny how she could never remain loyal to anyone. I bet she would cheat on you if she were still alive. She deserved to die. Beside, it's your fault she's dead." Ezio looked the beast write in the eyes with anger and fury waiting in the wings.

"How dare you say that. HOW THE HELL IS IT MY FAULT SHE'S DEAD YOU PRICK!!!! SHE WOULD NEVER CHEAT ON ME!!!!" Ezio screamed as his eyes shot a death stare.

"You could have joined me and I might have spared her life when I named you general." The beast said getting ready to strike.

"I don't care what you named me. I will ALWAYS stand by my friends and my brothers. Dash would have done the same. I not guessing. I KNOW she would!!"

"I have been watching you since birth Ezio. From Manexico to here. You never stood by your brothers. When Eclipse was being jumped, you didn't even fight back. You just ran. When Dontoa asked your help on the farm, you said you were busy. You slept the entire day." The beast said with a hell smile."You have never stood by your brothers. Even though they stand by you. You have no right to life or friends." The beast said looking at Ezio as Dontoa and Eclipse walked next to him.

"It doesn't matter to us beast. Even though Ezio has never helped Eclipse or I, he is still a brother to us. His last name might be Ocrassen, but to us, he's a Valtoez all the way." Dontoa said with pride.

"He may not have helped me when I was attacked, but I was more than happy to help him when he was jumped. You can say anything you want beast. The bond of brothers are stronger than the strongest steel." Eclipse said as his element started to glow.

"What tha hay?" Eclipse said as he saw his element glowing. "Why is my element glowing." Eclipse said as his element glowing.

"Ummm...you're not the only one bro." Dontoa said as his element went from a dark stone into a shining white.

"F**K IT BURNS!!!" Eclipse said as his element started to smoke along with Dontoa's and Ezio's

The lighting started to strike Ezio's element and the elements of Chaos and Destruction shot energy into the element of Darkness.

"What the fu--" Ezio was cut short when a string of energy shot into his cheast.

"EZI---" Dontoa and Eclipse were shot by streams from Ezio.

The brothers screamed in pain as Dontoa and Eclipse started to turn to dust and shot into Ezio.

"What's.....happening....to......me?" Ezio said with the voices of Dontoa and Eclipse in his voice. "AHHHH!!!" Ezio screamed in pain as the shunned elements turned into dust and completely shrouded Ezio from everypony's view.

When the dust cleared, Ezio was no longer there standing. In his place was a solid white alicorn with white eyes that were separated from a black circle around the eyes.

"Princess Celestia.. what is that? What happened to the boys?" Twilight said as didn't understand what happined.

"Don't worry, the boys are fine. They're just in that being." Princess Celestia said reassuring her student.

"Well what is that being then?"

"Astrial, the element of light."

"So if he's the element of light...that means he's the.." Twilight said putting the puzzle together.

"Yes Twilight. The Warrior of Light."

Gotta cut it of here ponies. Next chapter will be the last and I'm thinking about making a sequel just a heads up. Stay strong, laugh loud, and party hard. -The Big EZ

Elements Of Power. (the end. part one)

"Nice trick. Adsorb your brothers energy and concentrate it into your element to activate and revert it back to the element of light. Very clever. No matter though. Killing you will be more of a......challenge." The beast said with a smile. "Let's test what I've heard about your power." The beast said throwing a dark lighting ball at Astrial.

"LOOK OUT!!!' Everypony screamed as the lighting ball struck the. white alicorn. Astrial caught the ball with his horn and shot it back at the beast with a powerful blast of behind it. The blast shot straight into the beast's throat which made him fall with a powerful crash.

"Yeah take that big Rainbow Dash killer thing!!" Pinkie Pie said shooting into the sky.

"I usually think fighting is uncivilized , but considering what he did to Rainbow Dash. I say kick his flank guys." Rarity said cheering on Astrial.

Astrial heard what was going on and walked over to the cheering ponies and two bowing princesses.

"Rise Celestia. Rise Luna." Astrail said as the princesses rose their heads as if this time, they were the subjects."It is a pleasure seeing you two again. I'm guessing the reason I'm here is that the warrior went good this time. Am I correct." Astrial said looking down a the two other alicorns.

"Yes Astrial." Princess Celestia said looking into the void of whiteness of Astrial's eyes.

"I'll take that these ponies are the elements of harmony. It is a great pleasure to meet legends such as yourselves." Astrial looked over at Twilight Sparkle. "What element are you?"

"Magic sir." Twilight said bowing to him. (Twilight's mind) ' If princess Celestia and Luna bow to him, he must be important'

"No need to bow to me. I'm no royalty." Astrial said with a luagh. Then he turned Applejack and asked the same question.

"Honesty sugercube." Applejack said with a smile. Then Astrial started going down the line.

"Generosity."

"Laughter."

"And what is your element?" Astrial said looking down on Fluttershy, but all she did was mumble something. "Excuse me?" Astrial said lowing his head to her height, still she mumbled looking away. "Are you the element of kindness or loyalty?" Astrial said but Fluttershy just let out a squeal. " Ummm okay." Astrial said backing off.

"Don't worry mister. She's the element of kindness. She's just shy around new people." Pinkie Pie said bouncing up next to her with her hair down. Still sad off what happened to Rainbow Dash.

"Okay we-- wait. Where's the element of loyalty? If I remember from sacred text, it said the her name would be Rainbow Dash. Correct?" Astrial said confused.

"You're correct Astrial, but she's dead. The beast killed her." Luna said in sorrow.

"I see. Get the elements of harmony" Astrial said as everypony looked at him with a confused face. "I know she's dead. I have a plan that just crazy enough to work. Celestia if you could get them from your vault." Celestia nodded and flew to the castle. When Celestia took off, Discord caught the eye of Astrial.

"Discord, peasure to meet you again. Last time I saw you, you tried to over throw Equestria. How did it work for you?" Astrial said with a smile.

"I failed and was imprisoned in stone and place in the garden like a lawn ornament, but I broke out and thanks to those ponies, I failed again. Celestia broke the spell unless I tried to save the world." Discord said not making eye contact. (Mostly because Astrial had no pupils which kinda made it hard to.)

"Well I'm glad you're fighting with us instead against us."

"I'm only fighting because if anything gonna rule Equestria, it's gonna be me!" Discord said angered.

"Well still it's great seeing you again old friend." Astrial said as Celestia landed with a floating box.

"You too." Discord said as Astrial made his way towards Celestia.

"Ah, the elements of harmony, haven't seen these things for thousands of years. I see you got them cleaned." Astrial said as everypony took their elements until all that was left was the element of loyalty. "Whoever the warrior was, he must have liked this Rainbow Dash." Astrial said picking up the element with his magic.

"Actually they loved each other." Rarity said next to Astrial. "She told me herself."

"So what's the warrior's name?" Astrial said looking over Rainbow Dash.

"Ezio. I actually forgot his entire name, but he just goes by Ezio so it's a relief."

"RRRRRAAAAUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!" The beast screamed as glass broke due to the intensity.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the ground. Ready the elements. I'll distract him till you get ready." Astrial said flying infront of the beast.

"You shall pay for that." The beast said with a Astrial flying in front of him.

"Doubt it." Astrial said shooting a white ray out of his horn.

"EEEEHHHHAAAAA!!!!!" The beast screamed in agony as he fell back with a blast of dust and houses behind him.

"Astrial we're ready." Celestia said as Astrial swooped back down.

"So how's the plan gonna work? We can't do it without Dashie." Pinkie Pie said while Astrial walked towards the bloody mess that's was Rainbow Dash

"Easy, it's a trick I learned from an old monk. I can take a sliver of energy from an animate or inanimate object and make an exact duplicate inside or out. So if I'm thinking correctly, if I make an exact duplicate of Rainbow Dash, we could use the elements of harmony. With the blast that's going to occur, plus a blast from my elements, the beast will be imprisoned in the ground forever." Astrial said walking to thee crater.

"THAT IS IT!! I AM THROUGHT PLAYING THESE GAMES!!! YOU WILL NOW KNOW THE TRUE POWER OF EVIL!!" The beast said regenerating from his medium sized self to a height the would make a hydra look like a speck of dust.

"Now!!" Astrial screamed as he put his hoof on the fallen cyan Pegasus and shooting a snow white beam from his horn to the element of loyalty.

The five ponies did as were told an began to use the elements and the lining began to shoot from the elements and even the element of loyalty.

"You seriously think the pathetic elements of harmony can kill me. I am fueled by fear, energized by the darkness of thoughts and actions, I can pull strength from shadows. Not even God himself can injure me." The beast said has the rainbow blast shot from the magical blast and entered the chest of the beast, but nothing happened.

"See nothing. Now you all die." The beast said raising his mountain sized hand as a dark red ball out of air.

"Astrial it failed. We must retreat to Appleloosa. We have heavy defences there!" Princess Celestia screamed as Astrial stood his ground.

"No. Just wait." Astrial said not looking behind him.

"ASTRIAL THE ELEMENTS FAILED! THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO KILL-"

"NO! JUST WAIT!" Astrial screamed, cutting the princess off.

"You should have listened to the princess Astrial, you would have lived longer than last time." The beast said through a laugh and the ball shot straight out of his hand towards the face of the determined alicorn, but turned into mist and disappeared into air.

"Bingo." Astrial said with a smile.

"What the AHHHHH!!" The beast screamed as rays of light flew from his body and shot into the ground like chains to hooks. "I can't move." The beast said struggling.

"See beast, I wasn't planning the elements to kill you. That's a honor I want myself." Astrial said as with Ezio's attitude, Dontoa's seriousness, and Eclipse's power. "Warrior of darkness and light. Show your power." As Astrial said it, a dark mist took a shodow form of Ezio and a light mist to a bright form of Ezio as well."Warrior of chaos and peace. Show your power." Just like the Ezio forms, a dark mist created a red eyed Eclipse while the light mist created a white eyed Eclipse."Warrior of destruction and life. Show your power." Just like the other two. A dark and light Eclipse appeared."Time for you to pay for your sins." Astrial said as his horn glowed as the six beings of light and darkness flowed into his horn creating a ball that was so bright, no pony could even catch a glimpse of it. "ELEMENTS OF POWER!! SHOW ME YOUR TRUE POWER!!" The ball shot from the horn of the eyeless alicorn and straight into the chest of the beast. The beast's skin went from a dark black and red to a glowing white. All that everypony heard was the hellish scream of the beast and the army of shadows.

After that, a glow filled Equestria and then Earth. The sky went from the hell red to the blue morning sky with the sun gleaming in the middle of the glorious sky.

Dreams and River Song (The end. part two.)

When the dust finally settled, in a crater which was about the size of the entire town, layed three stallions. A earth pony with tan fur and a blue mane, a unicorn with fur as black as night and a mane of gold, and a Pegasus with bone white fur and a mane of black and red with his tail to match.

The unicorn made it to his hooves first followed by the other two and let out a hacking cough.

"Did we win?" He said as the other two looked at each other, then just smiled and both just laughed.

"Yea bro, we won." Ezio said as they all heard a moan coming from a nearby crater to see a fallen Pegasus.

"R-R-Rainbow Dash... T-T-Thunder Boom....I'll see you soon." The beast said in pained and quiet tone as he leaped towards Ezio and digging his hooves in his head.

The beast came towards me too fast. I couldn't even flinch before I started seeing images in my head. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and I didn't know why till I saw two pictures of him and Rainbow Dash at their wedding and Dontoa being the best man. The next picture was... I just can't believe it. It was him and Rainbow Dash admiring a colt that had his hair and Rainbow Dash's skin. Before anything, I was in a mysterious place and across from me was the beast himself, me.

"I'm the beast." I just couldn't accept this.

"No Ocrassen. You WERE the beast, but not anymore." The bea- the older me said with a smile.

"But I don't get it, you killed your wife. Why?" I said.

"The answer come with a story. Back when I was you, I was dating Rainbow Dash then got her pregnant. We were more than excited, I was finally going to be something I- we never had, a father. Years after Thunder was born, I started releasing energy and ended up having so much energy back up, I turned into the beast. I killed everypony, even my son. I couldn't believe what I did. I was a broken stallion, so in my moment of weakness I decided that if I could go fast enough, I could rip a hole in time to transport back to this time so you could kill me and ensure that my future never happens to you." The older me said.

I was lost, he killed his wife in his time, then he came here to kill her.

"Then why did you kill Dash?" I said as he slowly trotted towards me.

"I didn't want to kill her, she chose to save you to kill herself." The other me said with a tear. "You're going to do fine Ezio. When you became Astrial, you drained enough energy where you will never have to do it again. I'm very proud of you Ezio." His words caught me off guard. No one has ever said they were proud of me. I just couldn't hold myself back to give him a hug, and I did just that.

"Will I ever find love again." I ask him-or my self. Whatever this is confusing me.

"Oh spoilers Ezio. You know we hate those." He said with a smile.

Did I just pull a River Song on myself?

"But you will find it from a certain mare you work for." He said backing away from me. "

"Mare I work fo- SPITFIRE!!" I yelled as he started to fade away.

"Spoilers docter." He said finally completely vanished as the world around me started to shatter and go black.

The End.

"Ezio, you alright?" Eclipse said poking the chest of Ezio.

"Uh yea. I think so?" Ezio said as his brothers helped him up and saw that the others looking at him with faces of victory.

Ezio took a deep breath and turned to his brothers.

"Guys, would you've thought that when we met, we would save the world and everypony on it?"

"Not at all Ezio." Eclipse and Dontoa said as they turned to show him that all of Ponyville, Canterlot, and Cloudsdalle were right behind him as Princess Celestia started to speak.

"Citizens of Equestria. The beast has fallen thanks got the valor and bravery of these three stallions.!" Everypony was excited. Yells of happiness and freedom rang through the air.

Ezio took the stand next Celestia and spoke in a powerful voice.

"Every pony!" All the celebrating came to complete halt as Ezio spoke. "Sadly now is not the time for celebration, but that time will come. The beast may have destroyed our town, he may have taken family from us, and..." Ezio started to tear up. "taken a dear friend from all of us." Everypony put their heads down in sadness. "But now is the time to rebuild. Equestria. Now it may not be easy, but I know we can do it Fluttershy, you think the pegasi can rebuild Cloudsdalle?"

"Yes Ezio." Fluttershy said with a smile.

"Weather Team, you think you can keep up with the demand for clouds?"

"Yes sir Mr. Ezio." One of the weather members flew from the crowd.

"Twilight, Rarity, you think you and the other unicorns can take Canterlot?"

"Of course Ezio." Said Twilight as Ezio created a smile on his face.

"Pinkie, AJ, can you and the other earth ponies do the job here in Ponyville?"

"Of course we can brother." AJ said giving Ezio a hug.

So everypony agreed with Ezio's plan and did as they were asked. The unicorn made their way to Canterlot, the pegasi flew towards Cloudsdalle, and the earth ponies started in Ponyville.

"Spitfire..." Ezio said under his breath as he saw a fire maned Pegasus.

"Spitfire!" Ezio now screamed as Spitfire turned and nearly flew away before Ezio was right in front of her.

"Ezio!" She nearly panicked

"I know that you're Ally Spitfire. Why would you do this to Rainbow Dash and me?" Ezio said as Spitfire kept her head down.

"Well you see....it's because... " Spitfire stopped to break out into tears and embrace the stallion in front of her. ""I was jealous flank! Seeing you talking to Rainbow Dash, I just lost it on the inside. Years ago you said you loved me like a sister, but I wanted you to love me as a mare. I'm so sorry Ezio, I never meant to hurt you or Rainbow Dash." Spitfire said as her tears began to make Ezio fur drenched. Ezio couldn't help but look at the mare in acceptance. He knew she was truly sorry and he was ready to forgive her.

"Spitfire, it's okay. I forgive you, and I know Dash would too."

So that's how my story goes. Months later, Equestria was rebuilt and the princesses took their places back on the throne in Canterlot and ruled together as sisters. Weeks later the funeral for Rainbow Dash was held and literary all of Equestria attended. Some said how great of a friend she was. More told their favorite stories of them and her. I, said since I was a orphan at an early age, I never knew love, but she helped break my wall around my heart and let Spitfire enter. She was buried with the element of loyalty and Tank went back to Fluttershy's house and lived the remainder of his life.

Dontoa and Applejack started dating weeks after the funeral and now live together. Their relationship is now based on love, respect, and trust. (Lost a mind bet to put this)

After seeing me and Toa in happy relationships, Eclipse said he went to a club in Canterlot and met, and journal you're never gonna believe this, PON-3 herself. He and her started dating a couple days back and I can't believe it. I bookworm, robot is dating my favourite artist. I'm just happy for thank lucky stallion. Well gotta go, me and Spitfire are going out. Later journal.

Warrior of darkness, Ezio.

THE END

Warrior Of Darkness

"Wh.....what? That was attached to my heart. HOW THE HELL DID THAT GET IN MY BODY IN THE FIRST PLACE?!!" Ezio screamed in mass confusion.

"Calm down Ezio. We know you're confused, but we know what's happinig. But you may not like the answer." Princess Celestia said handing him an old, tore up scroll. "Read this."
She said as Ezio was flatinig it out.

"Lets see...blah blah blah death and destruction blah blah blah Discord and Nightmare Moon powerless blah blah blah possible Warrior of Light blah blah bla—" Ezio stoppted as he saw something that he couldn't help but read out loud. The Warrior Of Darkness.

"Warrior of darkness is said to be a reincarnation of pure evil. The new warrior will be born with bone white skin, a cutie mark of a skull and crossbones, a mane and tail of darkness and blood, and eyes of crimson." Ezio said as his eyes went wide. "Perfect description of me." Escaped my mouth, but I didn't care.

"We can help you Ezio. You are not alone with this power. Your brothers, Eclipse and Dontoa, also posses but it isn't as strong as yours." Celestia stopped to take a breath. "An ancient evil is rising. Even Nightmare Moon and Discourt's powers combined wouldn't leave a scratch. Only you have power beyond them and even me. You may come to Canterlot and focus your powers to turn them good, or you can fight with the beast and destroy the world. I would highly recommend you come or you will end up hurting the ones you love Ezio." Celestia said almost out the door. "Are you with us or against us." She said finally walked out the door with Luna.

Ezio walked out the nurse Redheart with a look of disbelief still on his face.

"Okay Ezio and Rainbow Dash, I'll go get paperwork and you can leave after that." After nurse Redheart said going into the back room. After she was gone, Dash ran up to Ezio with a nervous smile on her face.

"Hey Ezio. I was wondering if you wanted to come over to see a movie as a...you know...date?" Rainbow Dash said praying in her mind he would say yes. Apparently everypony heard what she said and now they were eyeing Ezio, waiting for his answer.

"Okay. Sounds fun." Ezio said holding back him bursting out in excitement.

Powers

"Impossible granny. How would it even possible. Ezio was born in Manexico and I was born in Equestria ?" Applejack said in confusion.

"I was planning to tell you when you got a little older, but the truth is that you were born in Manexico with Ezio. You were adopted before you were born." Granny Smith said with a sigh. "But enough talk. Ezio, you need to know the arts of the light side of darkness." Granny Smith said getting up from her chair and slowly walking towards Ezio.

"The light side of the darkness?" Ezio said questioning Granny Smith.

"Ezio." Granny Smith said with another sigh. "There isn't a lot of time before the beast comes. There's a trick so I can drain my powers and knowledge into you, but it will kill me, but to save the world, I'll gladly do it, but before I do Ezio one thing. If you end up killing the beast, you will be he last Warrior of Darkness for the rest of time." Granny Smith said putting her hooves on Ezio's head.

Granny Smith mumbled something and her eyes began to glow light blue and strange streams shot in Ezio's body just like the messenger did.

"AHHHHH!!!" Ezio screamed in agony as little streams of blood flew down his head.

Granny Smith collapsed to the ground as the life passed from her body and Ezio just collapsed while thrashing violently while screaming.

"AHHHHHH GET OUT OF MY HEA---" Ezio stopped thrashing and screaming and he just stood there.

"I know everything. The beast, my powers, everything. Just one test." Ezio said sticking his hoof into the air and went into concentration as a large bolt shot out of his hoof and exploded in mid air.

"Oh this is gonna be fun."
