The First Day

Chapter 1 - The First Day

"Allright my students, today we got a new student.
Maybe, you introduce yourselfe." said Cheerilee with her calm
voice.
"Hello, uhm..my name is...Rising Shadow." said the new stalion.
He got a grey skin. His mane was black with some green
stringy's. Also he's got wing's, they were also grey but in the
inside they were some black feather too.
Everypony looked at him as he was an alien or not from this
planet. "Student, you don't want to say Welcome?"
"Welcome, Rising Shadow." The Welcome speach wasn't
really warm, more like their forced to say it, but they tried
to let is sound familier. "Well then, why you don't sit next
to DeepReader, over there?" said Cheerilee and pointed at the
dark blue pegasi with the brown short mane.
"Uhm..okey." said Rising Shadow.
"Hey , my name is DeepReader, but you can call me Reader.
What was yours again?" asked the dark blue pegasi.
"Rising Shadow, but you can say Shadow."
"By the way, you don't know the town right now, do you?"
"Uhm..I don't think so, why where you asking?"
"If you want I can show you the town after school,
only if you want so."
"That would be great. But I'm not sure
if I got time, you have to know I just arrived some hours ago in
Ponyville." said the shy grey stallion.
"When you tell me where you live, i could grab you up then."
"Well, the problem is, i have to choose a house. I don't got one yet."
"Oh man, you are really strange. You should check maybe
Cloudsdale or Rainbow Dash out.
Just cause youre a pagasi." giggled DeepReader.
"Well then see you tomorrow at school, see ya." said DeepReader
with a big smile on his face.
"See ya."
After that Shadow walked through the town.
"Okey and where is this Cloudsdale or even Rainbow Dash?" questioned himselfe.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!"
"Wait, what?"
* Crash *
"Ow, thats going to be an mark. And well sorry."
Shadow looked up an saw an cyan blue mare.
"Hey, what's wrong? Come on I'll help you up."
The mare helped Shadow up, but he was still to surprised to
realized what just happend.
"Hey, can you talk to me? Well, my name is Rainbow Dash, what's it your's?" asked Rainbow Dash.
the lost stallion. "Uhm... mine is Rising Shadow..." said he slowly.
"Okey then, " Rainbow's eyes just raised up.
"Wait did you say youre name was Rising Shadow?"
"Uh...yeah, why?" Rainbow jumped at him andhugged him
so fast that he was chocking for air.
"Oh I'm sorry."
Rainbow stared at him. "You don't remember me do you?" said Rainbow
with a sad voice.
"Should I?" asked Shadow slowly.
"Hmm thats strange, anyway sorry that I flow into you."
as Dash wanted to jump in the air, Shadow remembered what
Reader told him. "Wait, a friend of mine told me you may got
a bed free. I don't got a sleeping place at the moment..." Shadow
wasn't finished with his sentence when suddenly Rainbow Dash
said: "Of course you can sleep by me. After all..." her voice cracked
down as she realized that he couldn't remember at anything.
"Really?! Thank you Rainbow Dash. Thank you very much."
"No problem, by the way, why you aren't flying. You after all
a pegasi, and also when you want to reach my house you have to fly."
"Oh that, yeah. I don't really like flying. I hate when all the pony are
looking at me when I'm flying above them." explainde Shadow her.
"But you have to. Come one, I show you how to get into my house, okay?
Also, when you fly with me above the market, you can get something from
there, as a present." told Rainbow Dash him.
"Okey, but don't be angry if I'm flying not so well."
Both pony's jumped at the same time into the air.

The Accident

Chapter 2 - The Accident

"Where are you, Shadow? Don't fall to much back." she giggled, but notice
that Shadow was even faster than she. "Well, then it's setteled. A race."
she started to bring up some speed. She rushed with an amazing speed
by Shadow. "You see, I am the best flyer in Ponyville and cloudsdale."
Shadow, where are you?" As she noticed, Shadow was falling into the
everfree forest. "No, no, no, no. Wait for me!" shouted Rainbow Dash.
She could only saw that Shadow was crashing into some trees.

"Oh my goodness, where the buck is he?
I'm serching for him like 3 hours straight.
* sigh * I have to find him, or he will...."
at this point Rainbow started crying.
She set her under a tree for a moment of rest, when
suddenly notice the black feather in the crone of a tree.
"Shadow! Are you here? Please say something!" Rainbow's sentence were
more like an begging. That wasn't normaly for her, to beg or even to start to
cry when something like this happened. "Oh no! Shadow!" she saw the grey
blood overflowed stallion. "No please don't die now, please I'm begging you."
He didn't moved. "No, you can't be dead. I have to take you to the
Doctor." "Please, let me down..." Her eyes snapped open if she heard it.
"No, your dying. I can't let you leave here!" shouted Rainbow Dash at him.
"Why do you doing all that for me? We don't even know each other."
said Shadow calm. "Maybe you don't got any memories, but I do."
Suddenly a wild crowd of Timberwolfs showed up.
"If you wanna really help me so badly, listen to me."
"And what should I do?" said Rainbow nervous.
"Close youre eyes. It might sounds strange, but if you hear something strange, keep your eyes closed until I say you can..."
he was even now to weak to speak. "Wait, what are you going to do then?"
"Just do it!" screamed Shadow with his last power. "Well, okey then."
Rainbow closed her eyes and heard some kind of whispering, like
somepony made an spell. * boom* Rainbow flashed her eyes open,
the only thing that she could saw was an bright light, and now, she
was again in Ponyville. She looked at her body, it was overspilled with
Shadow's blood. "Where is he?!" She looked in the direction of the
Everfree Forest. She shocked as she saw the giant explosion.
"NOOOOOOOO" Rainbow cried out again. Everypony looked at her.
"Le-Leave me alone!" shouted she and flew with an incredible speed
to her home. "Why, why does he saved me and not himeselfe?"
Rainbow cryed and cryed, til her bed was soaked of with her tears.
"Missed me?" said a familiar voice. Rainbow looked up from her
bed and saw him, Shadow. "Told you I would...."
he collapsed to the floor. Rainbow Dash were to shocked to
even realiz what was happening. After some time she jumped up
frome her bed and ran to Shadow. "Now I'm going to get you to the
Doctor." "Where am I?! Who are you?" Shadow was quite a bit nervous
and not so calm as he act like the moste time. "You're in the house
of Rainbow Dash and I am the Doctor." "What happend and why are you
here?" asked Shadow. "After you "saved" me, there was an giant explosion
in the Everfree Forest. I thought you died there, so I flew home and layed
in my bed. When suddenly you appeared in front of me. Over flowed with
blood an messy. After that you stumeled something and collapsed at the floor.
Oh and one thing." Rainbow walked to Shadow over and then, she punched
him with her full strength in the face. "Don't do that ever again!" shouted
Rainbow Dash. He stand up and walked slowly to her.
"But what had I done?" asked Shadow slowly. She punched
him again right in the face. "Promies it me!" she began to start crying again.
"I don't got an Idea what the buck are you talkin abo...." his sentence ended as
he collapsed at the ground again. As he woke up again he was laying in the
Everfree Forest. "What the hell just happend? That all doesn't made sense at
all." "If there fun in making sense?"
"Who's there? Show yourselfe."
"Well, see what we've got here, a tiny grey pegasi.
"Who are you and where the hell am I?" asked Shadow.
"Youre still in the Everfree Forest and I, I am Discord, the god of chaos."

Discord

Chapter 3 - Discord

"Could you please tell me what happened? I don't got any memories."
said Shadow. Discord gasped and realized his chance, to currupt the
lost stallion. "You see, I am one of your best friends." said Discord.
"Really?! I never thought I have friends. Then could you tell me what
happend? The only thing I remember was, that I flew with an cyan
mare over the Everfree Forest." said Shadow.
"Well, that cyan mare tried to kill you." Why would she do that?" interrupted
Shadow. "You said by you own that you don't got any friends and she
was in blood lust. She's kind a psychopathic mare."
"Oh, now I remember."
Discord jumped back, in order to defense himselfe.
"I was searching for an home, I think she knew about it and
tried to kill me then. And nopony know me so she wouldn't be
suspected." figured Shadow.
"Oh damnit, he's smart. If he's going to find out the truth I got an big
problem." thought Discord to himselfe.
"So you said you are my friend? Then could you tell me what happend?
I had a dream that I was laying in a bed and there was that cyan mare
and a stallion who called The Doctor." asked Shadow.
"I see...sit down I tell you what happend."said Discord

Meanwhile at Twilight's Library
"Twilight you have to help me!" rushed Rainbow Dash into the library.
"Calm down Rainbow Dash." said Twilight calm.
"Everfree Forest...Shadow...Problems...Discord!" stummeld Rainbow Dash.
"Just calm down and...wait, did you said Discord?!"
"Yes, I crashed into Shadow.He is an shy grey pegasi who's the only one
that don't got an cutie mark in his class."
She started to lough nervously as she told that.
"What happend after that?" asked Twilight.
"Well, he searched for an home to live and asked me. I said yes, but
under one condition, a race to my home. We both jumped at the same time
in the air, he was even faster than me. Then suddenly I lost him out of
sight. I only saw him falling into the Everfree Forest.
After I found him he was overspilled with his blood and Timberwolf's came
out of nowhere. He told me I should close my eyes and take his bandana off.
Then..." her voice cracked down as a bright light showed up in the middle of
the room. "Muhaha, long time not see my little pony's." said Discord.
"Discord, what have you done this time?" asked Twilight.
"I just.."
"Where the hell did you bring Shadow!?" shouted Rainbow Dash.
"It seemed you really like him."smiled Discord ironicly.
"Just tell me where he is and what you had done!"
"Jeez...I'm going to tell you, or even better. I let you him see."
"Really?! Where is he?" said Rainbow Dash gracefull.
"I'm here...Come finish me off." said Shadow in an agressiv voice.
"What are you talking about?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"You tried to kill me, that's what I'm talking about.
Now, whats wrong?" as Shadow ended his sentence he jumped
with incredible speed infront of Rainbow Dash and punched her right in
her face. "Rainbow Dash, come on, why are you don't fighting?" shouted
Twilight at her friend.
"I..I can't. He..." she coudn't finish her sentence when suddenly
magic throw her in the air. "Discord stop this meaningless fight!"
shouted Twilight. "You see, I don't do anything. It's all Shadow, everything,
even the magic."
"Wait, what did you say? That means...HE IS AN ALICORN?!"
as soon Twilight realized this, she teleported Rainbow Dash and herselfe
into Fluttershy's house. "Hiek, Twilight...what are you doing in my house,
and at this time?" asked Fluttershy quietly. "We got a big problem,
first of all Discord fooled us all, he is still evil, and the second thing..."
"Oh no...what happened to Rainbow Dash?! shouted Fluttershy out.
"I think she only needs..." her voice fell down at that moment when she
was looking at her friend. Both wings were broken and also she was
covered in her own blood. "No, no, no we have to get her to the Doctor."
"But I think I might heal her. And about Discord I thought we reformed him."
"That's what we were all tought, but the biggest problem of all is... he's got
an Alicorn on his side."
"Like what you are?" asked Fluttershy.
"Yes, and the problem is he thought that Rainbow Dash wanted to kill him.
So he's, at my theorie, currupted by Discord."
"Then why we don't use the Elements of harmony against them?"
"That's the third problem. I think he could be even powerful than me and there
in the library."
"Somepony who's even stronger than you?"
"I said I think he is even stronger than me.
I don't really wanted to test it in an situation like this." said Twilight thoughtful tone. So, do you think that you can heal Rainbow Dash? I'm going to get the
others." "Sure...goodbye." said Fluttershy.
"Discord, you said that I can use magic, how?" asked Shadow him.
"You just snipp your hoofs like this, or wait a second."
"Hey what are you doing?"
As Shadow asked him, he just snipped with his paw and made him into
an Draconequus. "What hade you done?! I don't want to be an Draconequus."
shouted Shadow at him. "Now just wait some time." said Discord and snipped
his fingers again. "You see, you are now under my total controll."
"No...I WON'T ALLOW THIS!" shouted Shadow.
"Well, well well, you actually broke my spell and your transformation too,
I'm impressed. But youre too weak to resist anything else. Also tell me,
why you won't become an Draconequus and gain such a great power?"
"I came into this town because wanted a new life with or without friends.
So tell YOU me why are you tried to curesed me, or even what is happening."
said Shadow. "I just tried to help-"
"Don't you dare try to lie on me now!" shouted Shadow
"Tell me are you really my friend? Or you used me like a tool?"
"Of course I'm you friend who else safed you from-"
"YOU DAMN LIAR! Tell me finally the truth."
"You know what, I don't have to tell you.
"Tell me it or-."
"Or what? You don't got anything against me. You don't got memories what
happened who you are or even who's your enemy. Without a dubt too, with
what you can attack me?" after that Discord broke out in lought.
After a certain time Discord had focused again. He snipped once again
with his fingers and said: "I'm going to leave you here, as a punishment
for having me as a friend."
"What is...happening?" asked Shadow before he passed out.

Meanwhile in Fluttershy's house
"Urgh...where am I?"
"Oh you are finally awake, Rainbow Dash." said Fluttershy.
"Yes, what happened and why am I here?" asked she.
"Well..Twilight brought you here and uhm...she said I should heal you up."
"There is nothing with-" An incredible pain goes through her as she tried
to stand up. "Please sit down, youre wounds aren't healed yet."
"Where is Twilight and Shadow?"
"Twilight is...searching for the others and trying to get the Elements.
Who is... Shadow?" asked she nicely.
"He's just, it don't matters yet. What injurys got I?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Some scratches and...both wings are broken."
After Rainbow Dash heared that she fell back in the bed.
"Couldn't Twilight cast a spell to fix them?" said she angrily.
"I don't think so, I asked that her too,but she said it would be
to an high risk to do that while you were in a coma."
"What an risk is there to heal somepony while it's in a coma?"
"She said, when she had healed you and it's failed you coudn't
use your wings anymore. This healing process belongs like 14 days, with
good condition."
"What do you mean with good condition?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"You healing process is changing from what mood you are, which means
in other words: when you are happy it takes only 14 days, bit if you
are in a bad mood it might going to take half an year." said Fluttershy strict.
"How can I speed up this process?" asked she nervous.
"You have to stay calm, don't use your wings and have someting
around you what makes you happy."
"I think I might grab some sleep then, asked Twilight what happened with
Shadow." said Rainbow Dash and rolled her up in the bed.
"I will." said Fluttershy and went to her bed too.
Some time later, Rainbow stand up an looked if Fluttershy was sleeping and
for her praise, she was. As Rainbow Dash walked outside she looked at
the area. Mostly like everything was destroyed. After she realized what
happened her memories from the fight in the library came back.
She was attacked by Shadow, and beated up by him. She know where she had
to go...to the library again, to find Shadow and help him.
She tried to fly, but after she wanted to straight her wings an incredible pain
has gone through her. She closed her wings and stayed in the shadows
'cause she don't want to be seen by anypony, not even by her friends.
As she finally reached the library she looked if there might be Discord
around, but he wasn't. She entered the library, or even what of it stand.
All around the floor lay books...books of transforming and about regenerating memories. In the middle of the books lay an grey stallion.
"Shadow!" shouted Rainbow Dash and ran to him.
He jumped up and was ready to fight. Rainbow Dash got in fighting position too, but realized that Shadow was to weak to fight. As Shadow tried to
attack Rainbow Dash he passed out again, to weak from blood lost and the
fight with Discord. "I know exacly what you were thinking, don't fear
it will be over soon." said Rainbow Dash. She took the pegasi and walked of
the door with him on her back.

Where is he?

"Oww, my head. *Gasp* where am I now?" asked Shadow.
"You are in an Asylum. Far away from Ponyville." said a familiar voice.
"Why the hell am I in an Asylum?! I'm not crazy or some sorte of that."
shouted Shadow. "We know that, infact you are not crazy you are perfectly
fine so." "Then why am I here?"
"You got an battle with Discord and you survived, you aren't normal, but
in good way."
"Let me out of here!" shouted Shadow again.
"We can't. If we let you free you would propably kill us."
"Why in the world would I do such a thing? I'm not a killer!"
"It was us who erased your memories."
"YOU DID WHAT?!"
"It was necessary, to help everypony." said the voice.
"So, it is your fault that I can't remember at anything?"
Inside Shadow something exploded. His wounds healed in a second,
his straightjacked that he weared fell into ash, also his
eyes began to glow red.
"Doctor whats happening?" said one of the nurses.
"I don't know, this shouldn't happend. He is an regular pegasi how could this
happened." said the doctor. With an big explosion the cell was blew up and
Shadow flew out.
Shadow flew only like 500 meters before he collapsed, this
power was to bright for him, he couldn't handel it.
He collapsed at the same spot as he fall of by flying with Rainbow Dash, in
the Everfree Forest.

"I'm not sure if it was an good thing to give him into the Asylum." said
Rainbow Dash. "You did the right thing. Now lets beat Discord once and
for all."said Twilight. "Allright." said the 4 ponys.
"Fine then, finish me off with your little Elements." said Discord ironicly.
"Girls activate the Elements."
"It is finally over. Twilight, could you please do a favor?"
"What it is Rainbow?"asked Twilight.
"Could you please restore Shadows memories?"
"Uhm...why are you so obsessed about him?"asked Twilight.
"Beacause..." Rainbow took a deep breath,
"He's my Brother."
"You never told us' that you've got a brother." said Applejack.
"I'm not sure if I can do this." said Twilight.
"Why?!" screamed Rainbow Dash.
"First of all, I'm not sure if the spell works on him.
The second problem is that he is currupted by Discord, and he thinks
that we want to kill him." explained Twilight.
"I can try it but first you have to gave me more informations about
your brother."
"Well, there isn't so much, he's a pegasi, shy, calm..." listed Rainbow Dash.
"You know that he is an Alicorn, right?" Asked Twilight.
"He's what?! Shouted Rainbow Dash out.
"He could even powerful then me if I'm correct, but it seemed that he
doesn''t use magic so often. Which means in other words he knews only
some spells." figured Twilight out. "That could gave me the overhand in a
open fight."
"Please Twilight don't hurt him, I'm begging you." said Rainbow Dash in a
sad tone. "I can't promies that he's going to get hurt. So, Rainbow I think
we should went then to the Asylum."
Rainbow wiped some tears off her face an said:
"Yes, we have to convince him."
"You're right sugercube, thats a better adjustment." said Applejack.
"Come on darling, everything will be fine." treated Rarity her up.
"You are right...Rainbow Dash, yay." whispered Fluttershy.
"And when everything is fine, I'm goign to make a big
"good that you got your memories back Shadow"- party." shouted Pinkie Pie out.
"Spike, you stay here in case somepony got informations about Shadow." advised Twilight him.
"Allright then girls, let's go." said Rainbow Dash full with enthusiasm.

Later as the mane6 at the Asylum arrived Dash wondered:
"Twilight why is there so much smoke, and Firefighters?"
"Wait, I'll talk to the conductor." said she.
As the conductor and Twilight spoke to each other, Twilight set an seriusly
face on. Dash knew that this fire had to do something with Shadow.
As Twilight walked up to her friends, she said that she got bad news.
"Shadow broke out." said she icely.
"Where is he now?" asked Rainbow Dash directly.
"That's the problem, nopony got an Idea where he could be right now.
Theres a another thing too."
"What is it?" said the rest.
"Before he blew up this building, the doctor said he found an another
personality in him. This personality got his old memories, which includes
the memories about Rainbow Dash and him."
"But thats great!" said Rainbow Dash full of joy.
"It isn't. This personality is going to overcome him and might made him
an killer. Which means in other words, this personality is the pure evil.
It only behaviours is to torture and kill ponys." explained Twilight.
"Isn't there a spell to spilt this personality off him?" asked Rainbow Dash worried.
"No. We only can hope that he's going to win this fight against his evil
personality." said Twilight.
"Thats horrible." said Rarity.
"What is when he's loosing this fight, Twi?" asked Applejack.
"Well, please Rainbow cover your ears, I don't want that you hear it."
As Rainbow covered her ears she slowly walked frome her friends away.
"He's my brother, sorry Twilight. This battle have my brother and me to
fight." I have to think, where did he could go..?" thought she.
As soon she thought about it the first thing that she could remember would be
that her brother told something about a friend in school.
"It's like 12 p.m. I should go home and sleep about it. Twilight and the other
are even better in this than me." said she.

Rainbow walked to her home but remember what she told Shadow:
"...when you want to reach my house, you have to fly." she smiled a bit, but also some tears showed up, while she was remembering those sentence.
"So then, I think I have to sleep this night at the ground."
She rolled some several times, but can't fall a sleep. She hoped that she could fall somehow asleep, but after such a long time she couldn't.
"Finally It's 8 a.m., the school should begin now." talked Rainbow Dash to herselfe.

She tried to open her wings again, but regonized what Fluttershy her told about
the healing process. "Oh great, now I can walk...." grubbeled she to herself again.

When she finally arrived at the school Cheerilee was surprised to see her.
"Hello Rainbow Dash, what can I do for you?"
"I'm looking for Rising Shadow, do you might know him?"
As Rainbow Dash said the name the class began to lough and started to
say horrible things about what happened to him.
"Children, please be quiet and do some free work. I have to talk."
advised Cheerilee her class."
"You see, I'm searching for some information about Rising Shadow, do you
might know somepony who got an idea where he could be?" asked Rainbow Dash hopefully.
"There is that pegasi over there," Cheerilee pointed at DeepReader.
"he talked to Rising Shadow after school. I think he's the only one who
actually spoke to him. If you want you can talk to him." said Cheerilee.
"Thank you very much, I might borrow him then for a while."
giggled Rainbow Dash.

Cheerilee pointed again at DeepReader and she showed him to go with Rainbow Dash. He stood up and flew over to Rainbow Dash.
"So, you talked to Rising Shadow, do you? Asked she.
"Y-yes I did."
"Could you tell me then about you both talked?"
"We-uhm... talked about normal things like interestes."
"Nothing special, something about me or something else?"
"Yeah...there was something, I asked him where he lived and he said
that he didn't got an home yet. So I told him he should asked you or flew over
to Cloudsdale."
"Why do you brang me up in this?"
"You..uhm..are my Idol, thats why. I wanted to sound it more like an joke,but
I think he didn't grabbed it up like one." explained DeepReader her.
"Do you know where he could went?"
"He said that he would be first on the way to the Everfree Forest, because
he prefers the quiet. Why, is...is he dead, like everypony talking?" whipered
he.
"Thank you for your help." said Rainbow Dash and turned around to leave.
"Wait, could you please gave me an autograph?" he tried to sound it happy.
"...Sure." Rainbow Dash gave him an autograph and left the building.
"...Everfree Forest......Wait, I fell into it as we both flow about it. He have to be there." She walked as fast as she could. As she stood before it she hadn't got an
idea how she could find him. She couldn't fly, and she couldn't even remember the exacly place too. "How can I find him?" she were stucked in saddness as she got an idea how. "I have to ask Fluttershy, she can fly."

The Truth

Chapter 5 – The Truth

Later at the same day, after Rainbow Dash tried to grab some sleep,
she went into the Spa where Rarity and Fluttershy often where.
As soon she entered it, she saw both.
"Rainbow Dash, darling we are over here." winked Rarity over to Rainbow Dash. "Oh..hello Rainbow Dash." whispered Fluttershy.
"Yeah well, no time. Fluttershy could you come with me a short while,
it's very important." said Rainbow Dash nervous.
"Could..you..might wait a bit, please?" asked Fluttershy.
"It's about Shadow, you ahve to help me, quick!" shouted Rainbow Dash out.
"I know how much do you like him, ok...gave me 5 minutes."
"I'll be waiting outside." said Rainbow Dash.

Fluttershy took some time, but she was ready to help Rainbow Dash.
"And..uhm..how can I help you then?"
"You have to fly above the Everfree Forest and search for something
irregular."
"Oh, my...I-I can't do this."
"Please Fluttershy, you are my only hope." begged Rainbow Dash.
"ok..then." said Fluttershy shy.

When Fluttershy flow above the Everfree Forest she that giant impect frome
the last time.
"Rainbow, I think I see somepony." shouted Fluttershy out.
"Really?! Is that pony grey?!"
"I think so."
Rainbow Dash gasped and hoped hardly that it was Shadow.
"Where is he? Asked Rainbow Dash.
"Some minutes ago he was laying here....I'm sorry." said Fluttershy.
"It's not your fault, and thanks for your help." answered Rainbow Dash.
"If you want you can go now...thanks for everything."
"I hope you find him."

At the same time in Twilight laboratory.
*woosh* A bright light showed up and Twilight was back in her laboratory.
But something was different, she had somepony with her, it was Shadow.
"Spike, get the others her, NOW!" shouted she at her companion.
"Now, lets see where do you got that power to escape frome the Asylum
and defeating Discord."
Twilight casted a spell on Shadow so he couldn't break free or even do a single
move. Also she cast an magic field around him, so magic woudn't work either.
"Wha..What is going on here? Why is this all happening to me?" asked Shadow a bit lost. "Hello, Shadow." said Twilight.
"Who are you now?"
"She's just an insane mare nothing else, nopony would miss her."
"Who's talking there?" asked Shadow again.
"It's me, your dark side, he he he."
"Hey stay with me, Shadow. Hello Shadow." Twilight stood up and trow
Shadow water in his face. "Don't collaps again, you hear me?"
"NO, please don't kill me, I-I..." Shadows voice became very sobbing.
"I won't kill you, I'm here to help you." said Twilight.
"You are one of those six who want to kill me!" shouted Shadow out.
"We are totaly different, you were corrupted by Discord.
Also he gave you another I, i think you met him yet."
"Is-is that true?" asked Shadow slowly.
"Yes, and I got no reason to lie to you. If you want I can heal you from that
personality."
"You-you can?" "No she's trying to trick you. We are friends, look"
The dark side showed him some memories about him and Rainbow Dash.
"What is this ?"
"What is what?" asked Twilight Shadow.
"It's...that cyan mare, and me as a filly..."
"Oh no...Don't listen to him, he's lying." warned Twilight him.
Twilight casted a spell to look in his mind, and was afraid what she saw.
His dark side would tell him soon the truth about Rainbow Dash and him,
then he wouldn't belive somepony anymore.
Twilight casted quick an shocking spell.
"ARRGHHH! Why....why do you do that? Asked Shadow angrily.
"He's going to convince you,if I didn't had done this you wouldn't be
yourselfe anymore. So listen quick, I can't help you, you have to fight with
him in your mind. When you win he's destroyed, but if you loose, well you'll
dead." said she icely.
Shadow took a deep breath and began to get in his mind, where his dark
side waited for him.
"I see you have choose your side, what are going to do now?" asked his dark side.
His dark side popped out some windows and showed him his hidden memories.
They were all about him, his mother, father and...Rainbow Dash.
He also showed him some fake memories from the Everfree Forest.
Some memories about murdering Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy.
"Stop it, stop it, STOP IT!" shouted Shadow out.
From Twilight sight, he was screaming and begging.
"I can only hope he's going to win."

"What's wrong can't watch these? There are sooooo beautiful, and that blood,
yummy." said his dark side with an dark smiling.

"Where could Shadow be...." asked Rainbow Dash herselfe.
"Rainbow Dash!" shouted and familiar voice out, it was Applejack.
"We found Shadow. He's now in Twilight laboratory."
"REALLY?! Thank you so much." said Rainbow happy.
"No time for thanking each other, Shadow is in a bad condition, come on'." said Applejack.

As soon they arrived, they heard some really painful screams from the
basement. Both pony stepped directly inside the library and headed down
to the laboratory. As Rainbow Dash jumped through the door, she saw her
brother under all that circumstances. "Twilight, what are you doing?
Why do you locked him up in that...in that jail-thing!?" screamed she out.
"Listen to me. He's got a splitted personality, he has to fight his dark side."
"And whats the point? Can't you just erased it with your magic or some sort of that?" asked she.
"I wish I could, but he has to do it in this way or his dark side will kill him
instantly." explained Twilight.
"His....dark...side...would do WHAT?!"
"Not directly, his true selfe would be killed and his dark side fit in his body."
explained she Rainbow Dash.
"What does that means, all this stuff about the dark side?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Well, as Discord corrupted him, Discord gave him the ability of using magic, like he does. The only problem about this was that your brother didn't got a paw to snipp it like Discord to use magic. Which means that Discord made him into an Draconequus and tried to controll him. You brother broke both spells, but
by breaking the controll spell, Discords and Shadows pure evil turned into that
side." explained Twilight.
"I see, how long does he have to fight with him?"
"It could be like only 5 minutes or might half an year, sorry."
Rainbow Dash walked slowly over to Shadow, she set next to him down.
"Hey Shadow, it's me Rainbow Dash."
"Huh? Who's that?"
"It's that stupid mare who tried to kill you." answered his dark side.
"I know that you can hear me so, I have something to tell you."
Shadows dark side gasped, he knew that she was going to tell him the
truth about him and her. The dark side got quick controll over Shadows lips.
"Shut up! He's mine, and after I killed him you're next!"
"Please listen to me Shadow....." she took again an deep breath.
"I'm your sister..."said she calm.
Shadow gasped and couldn't trust what he just heard.
"Yes, she's your sister, but you never going to see her again!" shouted his dark side out.
"I will stay, untill you beat this, whatever it is." loughed she under tears.
"Time to let you suffer a bit, until I finish you off." said his dark side.

Shadows dark side teleported him into an familiar nightmare.
Rainbow Dash was laying on a metal table, tied up.
He saw that he was standing next to her, between them there was a
small table where some sharp knifes and scalpes lay.
"No, I don't want to do this!" shouted Shadow out.
He tried to dissforce the pressure of taking one of those sharp scalpes, but
failed. His dark side let him pick up one, walked over to his sister.
"Please stop, don't do it!" was Shadow shouting out again, but this time
he said it in the reality too, so Rainbow Dash heared it too.
"What is he doing Shadow, please answer me!" begged Rainbow Dash.
Shadows dark side forced him to torture his own sister.
It wasn't real after all, but for him it felt like it was real.
He shouted it again and again: "No, please stop it!"
The only thing that happened was that his dark side was showing
him how he selfe tortured and less killed everypony in ponyville.
After each kill he saw his dark side sadisticly smiled and loughed.

What just happened?

Chapter 6 – What just happened?

It's been now 2 weeks that Shadow is fighting with his alter ego.
He screamed every day and night. Rainbow Dash hadn't sleep
since she saw her brother fighting.
"Rainbow Dash, I think you should sleep a bit, please. We can take care of
him." begged Twilight her.
"No, I...have...to..." Rainbow couldn't even finish her sentence before she fall
at sleep.
"It's allright sugercube, we will take care of Shadow while you are gone."
said Applejack.

"Please, just finish me finally off...." begged Shadow.
"You are right, or maybe not. You suffer like 2 weeks, not every pegasi could resisted so long as you.
The best thing about you is, that you actually don't care about your sister.
She told you 2 weeks ago that she's your sister and you didn't even fought against me to see her again." said his dark side.
"Before you finish me, could you please tell me where she is at the moment..?"
asked Shadow him.
"Sure, not even I'am so evil and don't tell you that." loughed he.
"Hmm...she's not around. Ha ha ha, I think she knew that you never going to
beat me and left you for you sake.
His dark side showed him a fake view where Rainbow Dash is leaving him
and told him that she knew that he was an looser.
"See, I'm just showing you the truth. Come on, just let me gain power over
your body and we will kill them." told him his dark side.
"You are...right. Let's kill them." said Shadow with an sadisticly smile on his face.

A bright light showed from the cage, where Shadow were locked in.
"Uhm...Twilight you might turn around, for a second?" asked Applejack.
"Applejack, I told you I can't teleport every 5 minutes an apple..."
Her voices fell down as she saw Shadow, breaking out of her magical cage.
Again, his eyes glow red and he was sorrounded by an black mythical aura.
"HURRAY, SHADOW IS BACK!
LET'S DO AN "WELCOME BACK SHADOW PARTY!" shouted Pinkie Pie out.
"I don't think that he is normal Pinkie." said Twilight cold.
"Ahhh...finally free...and a great body too.
I don't even knew that Shadow is an...Alicorn." said the dark side.

Meanwhile by Fluttershy.
"Hmmhmm...that's so confortable." Rainbow Dash opened her eyes carefully as she notice that she were laying in a bed.
"Oh, Dashie your awake." said Fluttershy.
"How long does I slept? Where is Shadow?" asked she directly.
"Please calm down...First of all, I healed your wings, there now 100% ready to use them again. About your questions..."
"Yes what is it?" interrupted Rainbow Dash her.
"You slept like only some hours. Well, about Shadow, he's still struggeling
with his dark side...Twilight said that you shouldn't return to him.
At this stage he could freak out by the smallest thing that isn't quite as right." explained her Fluttershy.

At the same moment as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy has a disput,
they were interrupted by an giant explosion. It was in the direction of Twilights
library.

Twilight looked around her. Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie, there were
all laying in the middle of a runie. Everypony layed at the ground,
except one, Shadow. He was standing right in the middle of all that chaos.
"No,....please...tell me they aren't dead." hoped Twilight.
"Look, I'm Pinkie Pie and I did this Party just for you!" mimicked Shadow with
Pinkies dead body.
"Or wait I've got an another one."
"Wanna' taste the food for the' party?" mimicked Shadow again, with Applejack's body.
"Please, stop it." begged Twilight.
"Hmm? What were you saying?..Please, stop..it?
That's funny, Shadow told me the same, as I took controll over his body and
let him torture and kill everypony in Ponyville, in his mind of course.
Now tell me, where is Fluttershy and my sister?!" shouted Shadow directly at Twilight. "Forget it! I'm not going to tell you one bit!"
"We will see about that..." said Shadow and walked slowly over to Twilight.

Both pegasi flew dirctly to the library.
"Do you think there are ok?" asked she Fluttershy.
"I'm not sure. We can only hope so." said Rainbow Dash.
"Look, Rainbow Dash! Over there!" said Fluttershy and pointed over to Shadow and Twilight.
"Help...me...please..." stummled Twilight at the ground, overspilled with her own blood. Rainbow Dash didn't even realized her and flew directly over to
her brother. "OW Yeah, Shadow! I knew you beat that idiot!" shouted she out and hugged him thightly. Fluttershy stepped over to Twilight and asked what happened. At first she was shocked and frozen by fear.
"Please..no..don't let it be...true..." said Fluttershy and started crying.
"Fluttershy what's wrong?" asked Rainbow Dash her.
"Step back, you...you monster!"
"Oh, I see..." interrupted Shadow her. His horn glew up in an deadly poisen green. Twilight was throwen into the air, and directly smashed at the ground.
She spilled a lot of blood, also she was nearly dead.
"Shadow, what the buck are you doing!?" shouted Rainbow Dash at him.
"Just wait a second, please." said he icely.
He let Twilight flew over to him and said: "Any..last words, you brave mare?"
She turned her head to her shocked friends and told them:
"I'm sorry, to both of you. I wasn't a good princess. I couldn't even help you
brother...I'm-." Shadow broke her neck, she couldn't even finish her sentence.
Everypony were shocked and only looked at Twilight's dead body.
A last muscle reflex let her splitt some blood into Shadow's face.
"Hmm...that's tasty." said he while he was licking her blood from his face.

"W-w-what happened?" asked the shocked Rainbow Dash.
"Hmm? Oh, yeah, about that. I'm not your brother, he's dead."
"W-w-WHAT?! No...he can't be dead..." said she under tears.
"Well, he is dead and you can't do something against it. Also, you are going
to join him anyway." said he.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry that I couldn't rescue you, but I won't allow him to kill
any more ponies!" shouted Rainbow Dash at him.
"Even, if you have to fight your brother?" smiled he.
"He's dead, and you killed him! Your going to pay for what you had done!"
shouted she at him and jumped infront of him.
"It's settled then, a fight about live and death."

The End

"You have to end this, Rainbow Dash!" cheered Fluttershy her on.
"I'm doing what I can, but this is too much for me!"
"Allready tiered? We only fought some hours. I expected a bit more
enthusiasm. Maybe, if I give you an incentive.

He created a copy of himselfe, only one thing was different, the copy was
the real Shadow.
"Sis! It's me!" yelled the Real Shadow. He ran to his sister and wanted to hug her, but she hit him right in the face.
"Why would you do that?!" yelled Shadow Rainbow Dash on.
"You are dead! You can't be...alive! That's all an imagination!” shouted she back to her brother.
Meanwhile, his Alter Ego came over to Fluttershy.
“My dear Fluttershy, I'm terrible sorry that you have to die too.”
“Yiek...Please, no...I don't want to die.” begged she.

He did not hesitate long and created out of nothing a black scythe.
“Don't worry, you'll going to be fine.” said he and put Fluttershy's life an end.

“-oh come on! How should I knew that!” dispute both to each other.
“May I can have you're attention, please?” asked the Alter Ego.
“Ohhh, what the hell did you wan-” Rainbow Dash was shocked by the dead
body of Fluttershy. “Hey sis what's wrong... oh by celestia!” shouted Shadow out. “He he, and that's dear's what's going to happen with you too.” said he ironically. “Please, not Fluttershy...” said Rainbow Dash sad.
“Rainbow Dash, listen to me. I can resurrect all of them, but you have to trust me.” Shadow stepped to his sister ear and whispered something in.
“No! I can't allow this! I just...-”
“I'm sorry, but it has to be this way.” said he and jumped into the air.”

His eys began to glow red again and there was a bright light.
“Sister I'm sorry and I'm going to miss you.” said he to himselfe and a small tear came down on his face.

“You Idiot! Why do you have done this?!” shouted his Alter Ego out.
“Because he was loved by somepony.” said Rainbow Dash.
“How could be I'm still alive?” asked Twilight.
“Hey, ya'll does somepony got an idea what happened?” questioned Applejack.
“My dear, Twilight do you got an explanation for this?” said Rarity.
“That's seemed like a “WE ARE ALIVE, PARTY!” yelled Pinkie Pie.
“Oh my...how could I be alive again?” asked Fluttershy.
“I'm sorry for what my Alter Ego had done. Thank you for everything.”
said Shadow with a smile in his face. He vanished into some sort of dust, which
fade into his Alter Ego. “You fool, I gave you an body and you still betray me?!” yelled he.

“Now Twilight, put this an end!” advised Rainbow Dash Twilight.
Twilight casted an black magic spell, which let the victim fade step by step
in to dust. She hit him.
“Look what you did, you worthless pice of-”
“Oh come on, pal. We both knew that this would be our end.”

“What's happening, Twilight?” asked Applejack.
“You see there” she pointed at Shadow's Alter Ego “that this is the “bad” Shadow and he is talking to “our” Shadow. Which means the Shadow that we know and sacrifice himself for us, is taking controll over his body and both are talking to each other, that's amazing.”
“Then stop the spell!” begged Rainbow Dash.
“I'm sorry, this spell can not be stopped or anything else, but I could slow the dust process that you can say goodby. Which also increase the pain to maximum.” explaind she.
“Then do it!” shouted Shadow frome behind.

“You are aware, that you'r going trough a lot of pain do you?”
“Yes, I'm aware of that.” said he and smiled.
“So here it goes” said Twilight and casted the spell.

Shadow's face retired directly into a painful looking view.
“He he, now I've got even time to say goodby. So, for Twilight, quick gave me an bottle or something like that.”
“Uhm why?” asked she. “Just give it, .... Thank's.
Here you have all my knowlege about Physic's, Chemistry and special Spell's, oh and in the smaller bottle you have a part from my Alter Ego, for science of course.” he giggled a bit. “Thank you very much.” said Twilight graceful.
“Pinkie, I think there will be no party for me and I wanted so badly on a party of you, just make after all this please a “cheer up, party” okay?”
“I will...” said Pinkie under tears.
“Rarity, I don't really got time to met you so, just stay who you are and good luck with you'r fashion dream.” “Thank you also very much, darling.”
“Ow man this really hurts. So, who remains.” said he while he was suffering.
“Applejack, you 're always honest, please tell me what was you first impression about me.” “Well, you seemed calm and kind nothing else, I never thought that
this is all happen by you.” said Applejack a bit sad.
“URGH...” Shadow spilled lot's of blood out.
“Twilight what is this, I thought he only turns into dust!” yelled Rainbow Dash.
“His body is different.” said she calm.

“Fluttershy, just stay who you are and I'm glad that I met you.”
“Shadow...I'm going to miss you.” said Fluttershy and hugged him tight.

“So, sister. He he, I'm sorry that this all happened to you and your friends.
And...urgh, you know that I'm not good at saying goodby.” both giggled a bit but then they were serious again.
“Just listen, I know that you doesn't wanted all of this, just remember one thing,
that you'r sister is still loving you...” cried she out and hugged him with all her strenght.

“Thank you...goodby...” said he calm and faded away.

The End?
