Darkness in our hearts
By: flat spin
After that Rainbow Dash walked back to her room. She felt terrible. She was holding back tears and her heart was broken… did she just abandon her friends… but Spin said there would be rewards and glory… maybe this wasn’t so bad.
She opened the door and saw Soarin laying in the bed.
“Dashie. Where were you.” Soarin said and looked at her in the eyes. “I was worried that something had happened… Is something wrong?” Soarin asked her as she walked to the bad.
“No… everything is okay… for now.” She said and felt Soarin snuggle up to her from behind.
“You know that you can tell me if there is something wrong.” He said lovingly as he kissed her neck.
“Yeah… I can tell you if something were wrong…” Dash sighed knowing that she couldn’t…
“so do you think she will be loyal to us?” Thunderlane asked.
“She will be loyal to us… after all she is a element of loyalty and we can easily manipulate her with the glory and admiration that will come to us… and if she doesn’t play ball… well we can always just take care of her.” Spin said confidently and laughed.
“Good. So when is Celestia is going to declare the war and try to assault Luna’s castle?” Thunderlane asked.
“Tomorrow. Celestia’s assault to the castle will fail. I ordered the night guard to triple their numbers so Celestia’s army won’t siege the castle. We need to move quickly once the battle is over the night guard has already promised be their support so that once the battle is over we are gonna take Luna in and release her imperial glory.” Spin said and his eyes flashed orange.
“What are we gonna do with the rest of the elements, Flash and Soarin?” Thunderlane asked.
“They will be evacuated before the battle… they won’t stop us… nothing can.” Spin said and laughed.
The next morning Twilight could hear troops marching outside of the castle. She had just awoken and got out of bed and looked at the castles walls and court yard which were full of guards.
“Flash what’s going on outside?” Twilight asked and looked at the bed she had just got up from.
“Who cares just come back here and lets snuggle.” Flash said from the bed. He had just awoken and was still sleepy.
“Flash!” Twilight said angrily and Flash quickly got out of bed.
“Fine. I’ll go and check what’s going on.” Flash said and walked out of the room and saw guards run through the castle.
“Flash what the heck is happening?” Soarin said and ran up to Flash.
“I dunno… Let’s go to Spin and ask him.” Flash said and he and Soarin ran to the throne room where Spin and Thunderlane were looking at some maps and planning an counter attack. Once Soarin and Flash entered the room the mane six walked up to the room behind them.
“What’s happening outside?” Flash asked and walked over to the table that Spin and Thunderlane were planning.
“Celestia and the Royal army have declared war and a going to attack in a couple of hours.” Spin said in a serious tone. Both him and Thunderlane were wearing the Knights of night’s dark combat armour and they were ready to fight.
“What? That’s insane!” Twilight said and walked up to the table. “Why would Celestia want to go to a war with Luna?”
“I dunno and I don’t care.” Spin said and picked up some equipment from the table. “We have already planned out the defense of this castle and a counter attack will be done once the battle ends. Celesti and her army are walking in to a trap.” Spin said proudly and looked at Soarin and Flash. So are you two gonna fight with us?” Spin asked them. They only looked at each other.
“No… I won’t fight against Celestia… I have flown for the wonderbolts for too long to now turn my back on them.” Soarin said and looked at the ground.
“I won’t fight either… I’m a guard for the crystal empire and if they are neutral I will be too.” Flash said and looked at the ground.
“So both of you will turn your backs on our mother… shameful.” Thunderlane said and turned to face the girls. “What about you… will you fight with us… will you be loyal to Luna.”
Loyal… That word hurt Rainbow Dash… she had to… she hadn’t have a choice…
“I will fight with you.” Rainbow Dash said and walked next to Spin with a blank face.
“What… Dashie you can’t…” Soarin said as he saw the love of his life walk to the other side.
“Rainbow Dash are you just gonna leave us?!” Twilight asked her.
“Sorry Twi… sorry Soar...” Rainbow dash said and walked to the armoury room with Spin.
“No… Rainbow Dash… I love you.” Soarin said with tears in his eyes.
“There is a carriage waiting for you outside. It will take you back to ponyville.” Thunderlane said and walked out of the room too.
Soarin was in shock. He couldn’t believe that Rainbow Dash had left him to join Luna’s army… This wasn’t real in his head. His heart was broken… He felt like Spin and Thunderlane had betrayed him by taking Dash away from him… with her his heart was taken away too…
“Soarin! We need to go… We will figure this out later but we need to get away from here.” Flash said to him breaking his thoughts. And with that the mane six, Soarin and Flash got to the carriage and they left for ponyville. The trip was quiet nopony knew what was happening and why it was happening. The silence had been going on for minutes until Twilight broke it.
“We need to do something!” She yelled.
“Yeah but what?” Applejack asked.
“Maybe we should talk to Celestia.” Rarity suggested.
“Yeah. once we get to ponyville I will write to her and we will figure this out.” Twilight said. But Soarin wasn’t hearing her words… only thing he could think was Rainbow Dash and why she would have left him…
“Good I knew you would be loyal Rainbow Dash.” Spin said while smiling as he and Thunderlane circled Rainbow Dash. She felt she had done the wrong decision… she felt terrible… She felt heart broken.
“Now since you are a one of us and a Pegasus I think you deserve this.” Spin said and gave her a suit of armour like he was wearing. It was dark and it had the symbol of the lunar sister on it. He also gave him a sword that was made out of dark crystal like his and Thunderlane’s.
“You are now one of us. You are a knight of night.” Thunderlane said and smiled. “We take care of each other and we serve The lunar sister with loyalty… which I know you will do.” Thunderlane finished.
Dash could see the orange glow in their eyes but it didn’t feel threatening anymore… it felt almost calming… She started to but the armour suit on. Both Thunderlane and Spin were looking at here while she was putting it on. As she put the dark mask on which showed only her eyes she looked into the mirror and saw what she looked like… Dark armour suit with a hood and a cape… a dark sword and a mask… The suit represented authority, strength, glory and loyal service… it made her feel strong… it made her feel good. Better that anything else. She saw Thunderlane and Spin walk up to her from behind as she was loking into the mirror. The walked up to both of her sides and looked to the mirror too.
“I know. it’s looks good right?” Spin said and smiled.
“Yeah… and it feels good too.” Dash said and looked to the mirror. She pulled the mask of her face and saw her face. I didn’t have a look of worry or sadness on it… It had a look of confidence and determination on it. She had awoken… Rainbow Dash was ready to become a real legend now… And with that thought a smile came to her face as she was standing between the two stallions who were smiling too…
