Exiled

A booming female voice spoke up: “Behold, mortals, behold the eternal night!” I turned around and yelled: “Okay, who is the next one in line for a beat-up!” only to be lifted by a blue magical aura. Well, fuck! I narrowed my eyes on the being in front of me. A black alicorn mare, cat like pupils, her cutie mark displaying the moon. “WHO DARES TO TAUNT THE ALLMIGHTY NIGHTMARE MOON!” she yelled at me. Time to test how much of my skills were restored. I concentrated on the shadows surrounding me and YES! I formed a fist out of them and punched Nightmare Moon in the opposite wall, and held her in the palm, squeezing the life out of her! “Yes… do it… kill the innocent I possess… “She coughed. I let her slip from my grip, taken back by that. So that’s what Discord talked about. That coward of a nightmare used an innocent being as a shield. Once again I found myself in a magic grip. But this time she squeezed the life out of me! I could already feel my ribs breaking again. Think, Teridax, possible solution! Then an idea struck me like a lightning! Yes of course! We didn’t I think of that earlier! I concentrated on the magic connecting us, left my body and charged my spirit right inside her!
I found myself on a platform, surrounded by darkness. In the middle of the platform was a cage, holding the Princess of the Night! In front of it stood… well, I can only describe it as a nightmare! A terrible monster, looking at it would have driven any other being insane of fear! But in this state, in the pure state of being a Makuta, there was no fear! I looked at myself. I was a bodiless cloud of shadow in this realm. The nightmare spotted me. “You won’t take her away from me!” it spoke in thousand whispers in thousand dead languages. I smiled, and charged for it, forming to arms and gripped it! It had a look of fear in its eyes, and I burst out laughing, saying “Look, the nightmare himself is afraid of the great Makuta Teridax!” It started to wiggle, a desperate try to break free, but how do you escape a shadow? “I would have granted you a normal death, but you forced me to harm an innocent!” Then I killed it in the most horrible way I knew! I called that technique “Pain Overflow”! I flooded every nerve in his body with the maximum amount of pain, until they literally melted! Upon its death, I was thrown out of the Night Princesses Body, back in my own one, and again against a wall! But this time, there was no healing. I had used my powers to long and was exhausted, my vision becoming blurry, the pain of the smashed ribs overwhelming. Finally, I thought, the sweet embrace of death!
The next thing I heard- Oh, I’m not dead, I hear something! Anyway, the next thing I heard was the constant beeping of some machine. I opened my eyes slowly. I was in a bed in some sort of building. Bandages were wrapped around my chest. The room was plain white, and next to my bed where some machines, apparently connected to me. I groaned in pain, but smiled, happy to be still alive. The door to the room opened, and a brown unicorn stallion in a white doctors overall entered. “Oh, you woke up! Very good, how do you feel?” “Well, aside from the pain, happy to be still alive!” I answered. “It’s quite a miracle! No normal pony would have survived these Injuries, but well, I assume you are no normal pony?” I chuckled, only to groan in pain right afterwards. Well, laughing with a smashed chest is apparently not the smartest thing to do! “The princesses ordered to be informed when you wake up so they can speak to you, but I’m the doctor, and you need more rest!” he told me. I nodded. That doctor had quite the courage. “I will give you something against the pain, and after that, you can sleep for some time”.
The next time I woke up, Princess Luna was in my room, looking at me sadly, but her expression lighted up when she saw me awakening. “I´m terribly sorry for what I did-“ She began, but I interrupted her. “It wasn´t your fault, that creature could have possessed anyone” My voice was still weak, and I cursed this body for being so fragile mentally. I took a closer look at her, now that she was in her normal form. She was taller than a normal pony, but smaller than her sister. Her blue mane was flowing like the one of her sister Leggy, lean, but yet a nice plot- WHAT AM I THINKING? “I can’t thank you enough for defeating Discord and saving me!” Her sweet voice pulled me out of my thoughts. “Ah, it was nothing” I shrugged it off. She smiled. “I was already told how humble you are, another trait of a true hero” I shook my head no. “Believe me. I’m anything but a hero!” I told her, dark thoughts of home in my mind. “And yet you protect the rightful and never ask for a reward!” I shrugged. “Someone has to do it”. She looked at me sadly. “Why do you hate yourself so much?” “Believe me, if you what know who I am, what I am you would hate me too.” She didn’t answer that, but instead embraced me. “Believe me, I understand how you feel, I did terrible things in my past, too, but you must forgive yourself, or one day, the hate will consume you!” she whispered in my ear. Great Spirit, she smelled so sweet, like a beautiful night under the stars. I blushed. Much to my discomfort, she broke the embrace, and stepped back. “Sorry, I know you are injured, I shouldn’t have…” “It’s okay, I really appreciated that” I cut her off, and she gave me a sweet smile. The door opened, and her sister stepped in, crooking an eyebrow as she noticed the looks me and her sister where exchanging. “Sister, leave us please, I need to speak to Teridax alone.” She looked surprised, but did as her sister insisted. After Luna left, Celestia’s Motherly expression hardened to the one of a Mother Protecting her Children. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful that you… got rid of Discord, but the way you did it…” “Your subjects don’t need to fear me, as long as they walk the righteous path!” I cut her off, earning a frown from her. “As much as I would like to believe that, I can’t let you stay in my Kingdom! As a possible threat for my loyal subjects, I shall ban you from Equestria! “ Oh boy, here we go again…
