A Colt's Darkness
Coffee solved some problems
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSweetie Belle, why can't I got her out of my head? I can't stop thinking about her... I can't have a crush on her, can I? Not even in my coma world had I fallen victim to a crush. It is still to early to decide of I truly do have a crush on her... Spirit was kept awake by the thought of Sweetie Belle. He still managed to fall asleep, but his dream was different compared to his thoughts. He was standing in a black abyss, the only other thing in sight was a unicorn with purple haze pooling out of his body, green and red eyes, sharp teeth, a red horn, and a very sturdy suit of armor. He was on his hind legs with a sword being held up by fingers that he made with his purple haze. He also had a scythe of incredible size on his back.
"So, you are the colt who has absorbed my power. Interesting..." The odd pony stared directly at Spirit. "I find this very odd..." Spirit quickly saw the connection.
"You are King Sombra, aren't you?" Spirit narrowed his eyes at the pony.
"Why yes, I am King Sombra." He stated with a small grin. "I will get right to the point. There are two ways this can end. Join me and I will help you tame the powers you posses, or I can kill you and take it back. So what is you-" Sombra was stopped by Luna tackling him. He went flying.
"Princess Luna, you are here to huh?"
"Of course, as princess of the night we must enter the dreams of others and protect them." Luna turned her attention to Sombra. An ominous laugh filled the air around Spirit and Luna.
"Still as entertaining as ever Luna! Tell me, how long do you think this little 'organization' you have will last!? The only hope you may have is this colt here and even that is quite a stretch!"
"Our organization will be enough to stop you Sombra, you will not win!" Luna was quite angry now. Sombra laughed at Luna.
"You may have been able to harm me before, but you have no chance against me now! The crystal heart and elements of harmony don't even harm me anymore, as you would know. You saw it first hoof!" Spirit sat back and listened to them chatter back and forth so that he could possibly make some connection about what he knew and what was just being explained.
"We are tired of this useless argument, it seems that you don't know when you are beat Sombra. Spirit, we are ending the 'dream'." Luna's horn flashed and Spirit was in his bed with Luna by his side.
"What just happened?!" Spirit was still tired and very confused about the previous events.
"We are sorry Spirit, but everything will be explained in the morning. Until then, don't fall asleep. That is how he got into your head." Luna said as she placed a spell on the room. "This spell will keep Sombra out, just give me two hours or so." Spirit sat in his bed with the lights on, only to feel drowsiness sneak up on him.
"Two hours, two long hours. How am I supposed to keep myself awake for two hours when it is 4:00 AM?" Spirit thought of possible ideas, but only one was actually capable of keeping him awake. He went into the Mess Hall, made a cup of coffee, and sipped slowly so that it wouldn't be wasted right away. In the middle of him drinking his coffee, he heard the door open. He took a look at who had just walked in. It was CMCs, he just wanted to drink his coffee in peace. Upon looking at them, he noticed their cutie marks. Scootaloo had a flaming tire, Applebloom had a wrench, and Sweetie Belle had a singing bird. He sat out of their line of sight, but they turned the corner and saw him. Spirit's mane and tail were somewhat shaggy, he was in a slumped sitting position, and he had small bags under his eyes. He merely turned to them and back to his coffee.
"You really shouldn't be in here you know." Scootaloo said. Spirit rolled his eyes.
"I could say the same thing to you." His voice kept a constant rasp. "If you three are going to do anything, do it quietly." Spirit took a small sip of coffee.
"Wait." Sweetie Belle said. "How do you know how to make coffee if you didn't even know how to run earlier?"
"Never said I knew how to make coffee. I just did random things and then I got coffee." He began to pour himself another cup of coffee upon finishing his sentence. The girls just stared for a moment and quickly got what they came for. Gummy Worms. Sweetie Belle stopped for a moment to talk with Spirit about why he was actually here. He stated the problem and the girls got worried so they left to do research while Sweetie Belle went to the Training room with the robots. For the next hour, he drank coffee. Luna entered the Mess Hall after Spirit finished all but one cup of coffee.
"Your room is now fixed. Before you go to sleep again, Doctor Pill wants you to fight one more robot for him..." Spirit was so damn livid that smoke was literally coming off of his head. He trotted down to the armor puncture training room where he found Doctor Pill.
"Sorry to bring you here on such short notice, but I need you to fight this robot for me." He let out a nervous smile. Spirit's eye only twitched
"FINE. LETS START." He walked right up to the robot and poured the remaining coffee on it, causing it to short circuit. "THERE I AM DONE. GOOD NIGHT! Spirit stormed out of the room after jamming the coffee cup into the robot's skull. Doctor Pill stood there trying to process what Spirit just did. Sweetie Belle was on the floor laughing so hard that she began to tear up. Spirit once more climbed into bed and went to sleep. Its already hard enough to do training like this, then I almost lost permission to FUCKING sleep. Whatever. As long as I sleep there isn't much of a problem. Spirit quickly fell into a dream where he was goofing, eating and playing games. His dream was interrupted by somepony lifting his hoof. He glanced to his left to see it was the CMCs, Blade, Gunner, and Lightning. They were about to place his hoof in warm cup of water, but Spirit whipped himself out of his bed landing practically on top of Sweetie Belle and shouted. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING!?" Spirit now accurately portrayed himself when he thought he was a human. Uncombed mane and tail, bags under his eyes and the same tone he used when he was angry.
"Oh shit!" Gunner stumbled back from the surprise along with Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Lightning. Blade merely flinched and Sweetie Belle was frozen still. Spirit looked down and blushed like mad just like Sweetie Belle when he saw her under him. He quickly jumped back into bed and tried to forget what just happened. Gunner was the only pony other then Sweetie Belle to see him blush. "Spirit has a crush on Sweetie Belle!!" He called out and laughed as he stood up. Spirit turned quickly and tackled Gunner to the wall before choking him out.
"GET OUT OF THIS ROOM OR I'll RAM A COFFEE CUP THROUGH YOU"RE SKULLS!" They all picked up Gunner and left. Sweetie Belle was the last one of them to leave but before she did, Spirit stopped her. "I'm sorry about what just happened, I didn't mean to." Sweetie Belle only smiled.
"Its fine, I know you didn't mean it." She gave him a pat on the back and left. After she left he took everything other then his bed and used it to block up the door. He then slipped back into bed ad thought about what just happened. I don't fit in here. I won't fit in with them. I'll learn to use my powers on my own free will and then I shall leave. He fell asleep, finally. He woke up to find it was 9 in the morning. He removed everything from the doorway and left to go eat breakfast before training. To his surprise, nopony was around. He ignored it and made himself even more coffee. After the coffee finished he poured himself a cup and trotted over to the buffet. He picked out watermelon, apples, jello, and some pizza. As he sat down to eat he heard something behind him. When he turned he saw an odd creature standing over Fluttershy. It was a black pony-like creature with insect wings and holes in his legs and horn. It opened it's mouth to bite Fluttershy, but before he could Spirit tackled it into the wall.
"Oh, Spirit! They found a way into the base." Fluttershy got quieter as she went on.
"Who are 'they'?"
"Changelings, they can transform into anything they want. However, they may not have the same abilities as the thing they turn into..."
"This should be fun." He grabbed the changeling by the horn and dragged it over to the stove. He flicked it onto the highest it could go and slammed the changelings face into it. Spirit stood over his work listening to a satisfying sizzle and scream. "Lets go find the others, Fluttershy." She was terrified of what she just saw, but none the less. She followed. Spirit poured the coffee he had in his cup back into the coffee container. They walked out into the hall to see three more changelings flying over to them. "Hold this please." He passed the coffee to Fluttershy. He thee launched himself forwards landed no his back and spun in a circle with incredible speed. He struck each changeling multiple times with brute force that broke their bones, Spirit was lucky to break those bones. As he stopped he began took the coffee from Fluttershy and they continued. They soon heard a struggle in the armor puncture room. There were gunshot-like sounds ringing from the room.
"Gunner!" Fluttershy yelled. She quickly opened the door and saw that several changelings littered the room, all of them had large holes in them. Gunner was guarding Applebloom and Scootaloo with a shotgun. Spirit ripped a horn off of the closest changeling and stabbed the closest living changeling that wasn't about to be shot. With combined efforts, they cleared the room of changelings.
"Thanks for the assist Spirit, also sorry about last night..."
"Its cool. Where is everypony?
"The queen got them, to my knowledge Luna is defending Celestia who failed to beat her." Spirit's eyes went wide.
"If Celestia can't beat her, then what makes Luna think she can!?
"Luna's magic is stronger the Celestia's. The only reason Celestia rules is because she can control things better then Luna can."
"Well, time to kill the queen. Gunner, you and I will take point. Scootaloo and Applebloom, you watch our flank. Fluttershy, don't get caught up in a fight. Okay?"
"Okay, lets go..." Fluttershy was still terrified. They left the room and searched the whole base until they found a large door that Spirit hadn't seen before. When they entered a white bunny ran to Fluttershy. "Angel, thank goodness you're okay!" Fluttershy flew to him.
"I thought animals weren't allowed in here." Scootaloo said. Spirit's eyes went wider then they had ever been. That bunny was a changeling. He called out to Fluttershy, but it was to late. The bunny turned back into it's real form and bit Fluttershy's neck, causing a stream of blood to roll down her body. Spirit flew to the changeling and smash it's legs off. He then tore of the wings and horn. Somehow, the changeling was still alive. He then continued to beat the head of the changeling in until it was nothing but a large pool of green blood and black mush. He ran over to Fluttershy only to see her barely breathing.
"I knew... my kindness... would... get me...into trouble... one day..." She passed out. The bite tore through her throat, so she couldn't breathe.Spirit stared at Fluttershy as she bled out while Gunner, Scootaloo, and Applebloom began to cry.
"Lets go, if we can get Doctor Pill then maybe he can save her." Spirit said with a perfectly clear tone. Scootaloo and Applebloom picked up Fluttershy and continued. They soon found Luna fighting a large changeling that was no doubt the queen. Other changelings were fighting the the others that they were trying to find. There was one mare that he didn't recognize. A lavender colored alicorn fought along side his friends. Spirit threw his coffee container onto a small group of changelings, they screamed as the coffee was still hot and burned them horribly. Spirit turned to the group to see the one thing that send him into a killing fit. Sweetie Belle was still, on her side. She looked dead, but before he could check he went insane. He was So livid that purple energy gathered around him. [play this song. Just copy it and paste it into the search bar if you need to.
He transformed into a monster. One thing was off. He could control himself, but just barely. He was furious though and targeted all of his anger towards the queen.
"Oh, finally something worth my time." The queen finished off Luna with a magic blast. "Do you think you can beat me? Well. If you intend on running to your death then I, Queen Chrysalis shall show you the way!" She summoned a large group of changelings which Spirit took out with a simple move of his right foreleg. They were all ripped to shreds by the purple haze surrounding Spirit. He glanced over to Sweetie Belle, Chrysalis followed his glance. "So are you upset about the filly? Well, It was enjoyable killing her. So are we gonna fight now?" Spirit slowly turned his head to her, he was ready to kill everything.
"YOU WILL DIE!!" Spirit yelled as he run towards Chrysalis. She was barely keeping up with him. She turned around and struck him in the face with her hoof and shot him with a magic blast. He flew to the opposite end of the room and a smoke cloud kicked up. When the smoke cleared, he was gone. He was above her and she didn't even know he sat there for a solid five seconds before she looked up. When she did, he sent a single hoof strike through her face and body. She was now nothing but small pieces of black and green mush. All the changelings stared at him as he turned towards them, he waved a hoof and ripped them all in half. All but one. He captured this one and lightly threw him into the wall. This "light" throw broke the changeling's forelegs. What Spirit didn't know is that when Chrysalis died, she let off a kind of energy that brought Life back to Sweetie Belle and Fluttershy. Since it was her changelings that killed Fluttershy and she herself killed Sweetie Belle. "You don't know how much rage I have bottled up right now. So if you know what is good for you, you will tell me why you attacked us."
"W-w-we were sent h-here!" The changeling yelled. "He told us to!"
"Was it King Sombra?" Spirit hissed.
"Y-yes! It was him!" The changeling yelled. Spirit had heard enough. He then broke the changeling's neck. He then reverted back to normal on his own will and saw Sweetie Belle's wounds healing. The same was happening to Fluttershy. Sweetie Belle got up from the ground only to be held in a tight hug given to her by Spirit.
Author's Note
I hope you didn't dislike this immediately after Fluttershy's death. She does get revived at the end. Still gonna await dislikes though.
