Light's Shadow

Rating changed from mature to teen due to feedback. Thanks to all commenter and everyone who is reading

The sun was shining, the grass was green, and for once in Everfree, the animals had calmed down, and the youngest addition to the enormous Blade family was walking outside enjoying the sun. His name was Light, he was normal in every way except for one, he was an allicon. His pure white coat and golden stripes gleamed in the early morning light. His deep blue eyes and his blue and gold mane flowed just like Celestias but it was cut much shorter than the princess’.

                In the upper rooms his parents watched there son Light chase after a butterfly. They then quickly shared a kiss over there four year old son who had already shown that he was an amazing flyer and amazing with magic. They then walked down the stairs and hit a button to turn all the lights on in the house. Soon after this the Blade family then one by one woke up and came out of their rooms.

                The two proud parents of Light then walked from their room to the floor level. The father, who was named thunder blade, stuck his head out of a window and called for his son “Light my boy, come inside, breakfast is about to be served”.  “Yes daddie” called Light. He ran up the steps into his home tripping over his own legs, looking very cute while doing so.  He then walked up to the table and waited for the rest of his family to arrive.  Lights favorite cousin, Shade, who was two years older than Light sat down next to Light at the table. “Hey cuz, Happy birthday, can’t believe it, your five now” said Shade. “Thanks” said Light with an adorable voice crack that made Shade Dawwww in his head. “I can’t believe that my B-Day is on the same day as our family reunion” said Light this is going to be sooo fun tonight when we have the party. “Don’t forget you don’t get to open your presents until the reunion part is over” said Serenity, who was Lights mother. “But mom” light said with a very sad look on his face, “no buts, you open your presents after the reunion just like we agreed to last week, remember” said Serenity with a look that said I got ya, in a playful manner. “Fine” said Light.

Over in a run down shack in the outskirts of the Everfree

 Ok so you pay us 50000 bits and we kill the entire family, correct. Correct, said Jagger. Jagger was a member of the Redblood family. The Redblood and Blade family had a grudge that went back hundreds of years the Redblood family also had many other connections that the Blade family hated, some that even Jagger didn’t realize, but that didn’t matter, not now.

Jagger had enough of this nonsense and decided to put the Rich Blade family out of existence. He had hired some of the most deadly assassins to kill the entire family. It would look like someone had had a mental breakdown and slaughtered the family, even that freak Allicorn baby. The family reunion was that night and they all would die.

Later that night at the blade family estate:

 “Light, guess what time it is?” Thunder said. “YAY PRESENTS” said Light. Now you go up to your room and wait while we get them out. Light didn’t have to be told twice. He bolted up to his room and closed the door and waited… and waited. “I wonder if everything’s alight” Light said to himself.

He was starting to worry and then a piercing scream was heard throughout the building. Then the corps of one of Light’s uncles was flung into the room, knocking over Light. Blood was now staining Light’s coat and was scarring light out of his mind. He then heard his mother scream “SAVE THE KIDS, MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE’NT KILAIEEEEEEEEEEEEE*GURGLE*EEEEEEEeeeeeee., as her voice trailed off, with the only sounds of grotesque gurgling. SERENITY NOOOOOOOOOOO GAHHHHHHHH!!!!At this point Light had bolted out of his room and was shocked at what he saw. His entire family was lying dead, and then he was his cousin, with a Knife buried deep in his eye, viscous fluids mixed with blood were still oozing out of the wound.  Light could not believe what he was seeing. His family, the ones  that he loved, dead.

THERE THAT LITTLE BASTARD IS , GET HIM!!!! One of the assassins had spotted him, and was now charging at him full force. Light teleported down to the ground floor and then something inside him broke. In front of him, were his parents, beaten, bruised, cut, bleeding, and dead. There necks were both slit, they both had knives sticking out of there eyes and what added insult to injury was that they had stuck a spiked metal poll up his mothers vagina and had turned it into a bloody mess. There cheeks were cut in half in there and cut out into there chests read: GAME OVER BLADE FAMILY YOU LOSE! Blood was still seeping from the open wounds. The smell of vomit was coming from his mother’s stomach which had been cut open spilling out digestive juices onto the floor. His father’s head was split open with brains spilling out of his skull. The assassins had also added insult to injury when they had taken a long thin spiked metal shard and shoved in into his urethrae. It had then been spun around to shred the inside. Then they had used two other shards to cut both of his testicles in half.  Light then looked around and saw his 2 elder sisters, one 6 named flora and the other 10 named peace, who had been raped and then their bodies cut in half, His younger sister was cut vertically and his elder was cut horizontally. Flora with her last remaining strength before death enveloped her, opened her eyes and saw her younger brother and said “l-l-light r-run” as her eyes closed.”

 Light began to shake, he felt something that he had never felt before. Pure hatred, anger, violence, rage, bloodlust. THERE THAT LITTLE FUCKER IS! GAME OVER YOU LITTLE FREAK!!!! Light turned around, to see four assassin colts standing in front of him. Light’s coat then started to change color. It went from a pure bright white to a death black, and the gold stripes changed to a blood red. His eyes went from a deep caring blue to a bloodlust red. His mane then changed just like his body, to black and red but now it looked metallic and had an edge to it that seemed evil. Two demonic horns sprouted on either side of his head. Even his voice changed, from the normal happy high voice of a young colt, to the enraged voice of a mass murderer. THE GAME ISNT OVER FOR ME, BUT FOR YOU RAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Lights horn then light up, and nothing happened for a few seconds. The four assassins then began to laugh, OH now what. You’re just going to try and poof us away hmm. * CRAAACK* The loud audible crack was heard followed by another and another, cracks began to form in the estates marble floor. Within 10 seconds, the 15 story estate had been turned into rubble and was now flying at mac 2 speeds around the assassins in a whirlwind of shrapnel and black lightning. YOU KILLED MY FAMILY AND NOW I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER. Then the shrapnel started to come into contact with the assassins. One by one there bodies were shredded apart, with earsplitting screams of pain and agony.  Then a mark appeared on his flank, hiscutie mark. It was one of a sword going through a pony’s skull and blood dripping off of the sword (this symbol in the blade family represents the killer).

After the young allicorn had finished killing his attackers. He broke down in tears and screamed in his loudest voice, which had returned to its normal light voice WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, WHY DIDN’T ANYPONY COME TO HELP!!!! MOMMIE DADDIE WHYYYYYYY!!!!!! He then continued to sob into the night. When he finally finished sobbing, he realized something. His house had been within 5 minutes walking distance of Ponyvills outskirts, somepony would have easily been able to help him and his parents wouldn’t have been killed, his family would still be alive and the dead corpses of his family would not be scattered around like ragponies.

 Light decided to change his name to Shadow, because he was only a shadow of his former self. He dug 2 graves to commerate the deaths of his mother and father. From that day forward, Shadow Blade was always depressed and hated everypony else. Twelve years later he then decided to enroll himself in equestrian high. He had his parents fortune which had been left to him in there will (which had been written at his birth, the blade family had many enemies but the Redbloods were the most hated of all). He now was the enormous Allicorn and soul survivor of what was now the Infamous Blade massacre. Shadow was walking up to the new school. “Lets get this shit over with” he whispered under his breath, and then walked into the new school.

New school

Shadow entered Equestria High. Everyone stopped and stared at him, some with there mouths agape. Shadow paid them no mind and continued to his class which was of Equestrian history. Shadow was the first to arrive, and took his seat. The rest of the class eventually flowed into the classroom however there were many nervous stares at the Allicorn who was sitting in the back.

"Alright class, today you wont need any books or anything to write with, Only thing you need to do is listen" said the teacher. My name is Mr.Redblood. I am the substitute teacher for this class today and I expect each of you to listen to the following lecture, understand". He said in a very stern tone. "Shadow's eyes had shot open at his name. Mr.REDBLOOD!!! "The family who killed mine, I am going to have to destroy him after school today" Thought shadow. "Today the lecture will be over the infamous Blade slaughter that happened 13 years ago. We will be going over what is thought to have happened that dreadful night, and yes I do know that my brother Jagger was the one to start the whole terrible event, and yes he is in Equestria's maximum security jail right now but I still don't forgive him for what he did." At this, shadows thoughts of rage decreased down to there normal level, and made him think that this colt may actually be different than the rest of the Redblood family. But first before I begin, I must take roll call. Ok lets see Roseluck, Lilly.... The substitute then continued to call out names until he came unto the last one, and the last one... Shadow. "I'm here" said Shadow in his deep gruff voice. "Ah good, now on with the lecture"

"As you know, my brother Jagger paid 4 assassin pony's to kill the entire Blade family. What they think happens, was that they planted some sort of explosives around the Blade estate and made the entire thing collapse on itsefl leaving rubble and shrapnel everywhere. All of the bodies were accounted for being dead. Except for 3 which were Thunder, and the mother Serenity." Said Mr.Redblood  "Now then moving on... yes?" A hoof had been raised and when called upon asked "That was only two, what about the third one who was not accounted for" asked the student. "Well, there were two graves found just two weeks ago, One was for Thunder and the other was for Serenity, so we did find there bodies. Now as I said before moving on." Said Mr.Redblood. "But what about the third one?" The student asked. Mr.Redblood started to tear up at this. "The third one was named Light, he was an allcorn, the thir... fourth known to exist." said Mr.Redblood. "I thought that there were only two allcorns, and there the princesses". "Then make that only three to have known to exist, the third one, is sitting right now in the back of this class" Said Mr.Redblood. All eyes then turned to Shadow but then quickly turned back. Shadow was giving a look that said something to the extent of "look one more second and I will destroy you without any thought".

The lecture  dragged on for the rest of the class, most of the so called "facts" that Mr.Redblood had said were false which made Shadow angry at how his family's slaughter had become more of a fiction story than actuality. More false information of his family's killing were being told untill the bell finally rang. "Your only homework is to go to the library and look up information on the Blade Slaughter." The rest of the day went on pretty normally, until some idiot tripped Shadow on his way to lunch. Shadow was in a very bad mood and the fact that he was reliving those gruesome moments in his head did not help one bit. He got his lunch and sat down and began to eat. Everything was going normal until he heard somepony say "are you fucking mad, He is intensely huge!" Shadow then looked to where the voice came from. He saw 5 ponies standing there with one staring at him. Shadow then continued his lunch until he heard something about him again and then Shadow yelled "HEY IF YOU WANT TO SAY SHIT SAY IT TO MY FACE"

TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS GO READ THIS:

Side Story: The Epic Fight " Darkness Falls" by Killjoy12100

*next part only makes sense if you read that story above *

Shadow woke up, his body was aching everywhere, those ponies were much tougher than they looked. When he went to move, he found that he was strapped into a bed, and he was wearing a full body cast. He then heard a voice outside the room that he was in say "Holy shit, its amazing what this guy can take. When we found him, one of his damn foreleg bones was sticking out of his skin, along with both his wings being broken in 7 places and other than that, every other bone in his body was broken in at least 2 places. Whatever this guy is, I don't want to fuck with him.

Shadow chucked to himself, then coughed up a bit of blood, and then let sleep engulf him once again, swearing revenge aginst Jagger, and to tell the school the truth about who he was and what he had seen as a young colt.

Allright guys, the rest of Shadows story depends upon Killjoy12100. If he writes more about shadow then go read his story if you want to know about him (read it anyways even if its not for Shadow, its a true bad ass story).

Thanks for reading
