Magic Apples

Dari awoke as Celestia’s sun lit up his bedroom.
Shocked, and immediately rose to his hooves.

[color= purple] “Oh my Faust what happened last night?!”
Dari stumbles, falling out of the sheets and sorting his bed-mane.
[color= purple] “Oh dayum, Dari, what have you done! Gah! This is not the way to introduce yourself into a town!”

Mac wakes with a startle at the sudden sound in the previously-silent room, his large green eyes slowly opened, like emeralds being found in a deep red tunnel.
“Woah there cowpony! Calm yerself down!”
Mac wiped his muzzle with his hoof, eyes weary at the dim light.
[color= orange] “Wow somepony’s active.”

Dari started panicking madly.
[color= purple] “Oh dayum! Oh dayum! Auntie Cele is gonna kill me!!”
[color= red] “Woah there sugarcube its gonna be alright, don't worry its not like ya went an’ broke any rules partner.”

Dari was shaking abruptly, his horn once again aglow, his wings flapping, he was jibbering and shaking, seemingly unable to move his left back hoof from the floor.
Mac moves towards to seemingly crazed purple alicorn to attempt to calm him, and holds him in his hooves..
[color= red] “Sugar cube, its alright please don’t go all crazy on meh. ”
[color= purple] “NOO SHE’S GONNA DO IT AGAIN! I’M DONE FOR!”
He shouted, thrashing his head to the sides, a beam of light blasting from his horn and hitting the roof, forcing the confused red stallion to let him go.
The rafters from the roof burst, crashing down into the room.

But he was gone.
Black beams piercing where his eyes were before, and making his hooves glow.
His wings were growing almost, the feathers ruffling on their own.

Wherever he steps the ground seems to fall into a dark expanse below.
His whole body shimmering, darkness surrounding him.
Silver armour, spins around him before settling on his fur.
He lets out a shriek and flicks his head to the side.

A dark purple beam of Magic strikes through the roof, ripping it in two.
The rafters were barely holding, teetering above them.
Mac could barely recognise the shy, awkward Alicorn stallion.

Before him now stood a stallion looking as though he could take on the whole Royal Guard on his own.
His eyes looked like the shadows were burning him, his wings were flapping frantically yet not allowing him any lift.
There were no visual difference of his back hoof compared to the others, but it seemed unable to move at all, plastered to the ground for no reason.

His horn was still glowing, shooting the beams across the room.
The house was collapsing around them.

Tears are escaping out the sides of Mac’s eyes.
[color= red] “Dari? Dari? Are ya there sugar?”
He said somewhat loud, regardlessly deafened by the Alicorns screeches and banshee-like screams.
[color= #571B7e] “No! I am Astral Terror!! Kneel before I!”
A black acid pouring from Terror’s ‘eyes.’

This is a lot to bear after only knowing a pony for just over a day.
Mac was looking around for something to help.
He saw nothing.

Astral Terror was destroying the house,
Mac has no idea what he was going to do.
He yelps slightly, stepping back.
His hoof pressed on a creaky floorboard and Terror turns to face him.
A beam grazes across his back leg and he falls to the floor, grunting out of intense pain.

Etched into his deep red fur is a burn mark from the Magic.
The mark looks like a million tiny stars have set alight in his skin.
Suddenly I giant body hurtles down through the roof.
His wing is singed with the same nightsky burns along some of the feathers.
The muscles in his wings are torn with the burns, almost falling from him.
He’s almost screaming out in pain, but compelling himself not to, biting down on his lip.
Oh buck! What the hell happened!!.
He tries to stand, but loses his balance and falls onto a fallen rafter.

“What the buck’s going on here!?”
He said, turning to see Astral Terror infront of him.
The Pegasus looked around, seeing the building around him falling apart and the earth pony stallion laying on the floor in pain.
He rushed over to him.
“Are you ok?”
The mysterious stallion said, standing by the other, who was almost in tears.
“Ah...ah... don’t know was goin on! I...i’was all so normal, bu-but then he jus changed!”
A single tear ran from his eye, it too trying to escape this risen Hell, burning down his face.
His eyes sparkled as the fleeting tears rushed down like an acid rain.
Astral Terror peered over.
He saw the pain in his eyes.
A bright light, brighter than all the others erupted from Astral Terror.
Stars a flurry around the room, flowing like time, golden bands of light and sparkling diamonds.
It bursts from him, enveloping the room in the Magic.
His eyes burning darker, the acid pouring.
His whole body staggering forward, shrinking, the metal melting into his skin.
He screams out.

The beams from his horn started spinning.
Mac is fully crying, the burning tears escaping onto the floor.
Astral Terror screamed out, the starry Magic bursting and leaving a sobbing stallion behind.
[color= purple] “I...I’m s-so s-sorry!”
He muttered, before collapsing onto the floor.
The two stallions around him noticed the room, his Magic burst had somehow healed them, and restored the house.
They both let out a large sigh.
“Well... w-wow...”
Mac limped over to Dari, looked over to pegasus.
[color= red] “Ah’ll put ‘im to bed, you go wait in the other room, if ya could.”
He picked Dari up and put him back in bed, covering him.
The nameless stallion walked into the other room and sat onto the couch.
Mac walked in, still confused.
“We’ll ‘ave to wait till he wakes. Then ah’ll ask ‘im.”
The other simply nodded at the remark, not sure what to make off the situation.
