//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: The Fabulous Wonderbolts Part 2&3 // by Primary213 //------------------------------// I slowly awoke to my head pounding and my vision was blurry. I could hear a dripping noise somewhere in the room. I slowly started shaking my head and finally my vision came back. I looked around and I noticed, I was in the Canterlot dungeon under the castle. I looked around for anypony, but couldn't find anypony around. I then slowly got up, my head was still hurting from that blow I took. I looked to my left and I saw Shining Armor a couple of cells down. He was up, but in a corner looking at the ground. "Hey Shining Armor. Over here." I whispered to him. His ears perked up and he got on all four hooves and looked back at me. "Soarin, what are we doing here?" He whispered back. As he asked this, two doors flew open and three royal guards came in and dagged Shining Armor and took him outside. Two more came in dragging Princess Luna in and threw her into a cell. She looked hurt and was worn down. It wasn't hard to notice that she was in a conflict with Doom, and clearly lost. The two guards came up to my cell. Their pupils were black and the outside was blood red. They obviously weren't themselves. "You! Come with us, our king wants to see you!" One of them said. I looked confused when he said king. He reached in the cell and grabbed me. I was still too dazed to fight back. They then dragged me throughout the castle. There was a different feeling coming from the castle. It wasn't joyful anymore, it was a sense of the castle being devoid of something. The guards just stood at each doorway, starring aimlessly at the walls ahead of them. All with orange armor. All with those same blood red eyes. When we got to the main room of the castle, where Celestia usually is most of the time, we waited there for a little bit. Guards opened the door from the inside. When I looked to see what came out, it was Shining Armor, he walked out with the same orange armor, and the dreaded eyes. "No, not you too!" I said to him. He just looked at me and walked away with some other guards. The guards shoved me into the main room, and closed the doors behind me. I landed on my face. I looked up and saw him, Doom was sitting at the throne and he looked down at me. I rose to all four hooves and looked at him angrily. "Well it's just the pony I want to see. Soarin of the Wonderbolts." He said with a smile in his face. He looked sinister and I could tell he was thinking about something of pure evil. "I was wondering why you didn't become my slave when I shot out that magic boom and brainwashed your friends, but when I looked at your cutie mark, it all made sense." He said in an evil tone. "What do you mean Doom?" I asked him. He slowly walked down the stairs of the throne and was slowly making his way toward me. "Well of corse you don't know why it didn't effect you. It's because your beloved Princess kept a secret from you all these years. But I know what it is, and your so called amazing, wonderful princess has kept a secret from you all these years." Doom said. He walked right up to me. "Haven't you ever wondered who your mother really is?" He asked. I took three steps back and looked at him weirdly. "Well, yes but nopony knows where she is, not even Celestia." I said. He laughed maniacally. After he was done laughing, he cleared his throat. "Did you ACTUALLY believe that?!?!" He asked. He started laughing again. "She didn't tell you because she knew you had potential to be an amazing flyer for her! She kept it a secret, and you've known your mother this whole time. Sad part is, your mother doesn't know your her son either. I have to hand it to Celestia, she covered it up pretty good." He said in a laughing tone. I took a couple of minutes to think about what he had just said. It was sort of making sense. Every time I would ask Celestia who my mother was, she never really gave me a straight forward answer. "Ok then Doom, if you know so much, who is she?" I asked him. I was almost afraid of asking him who my mother was. It was like I didn't want to know, but then again I did. He stopped and stared at me, and lifted his head up. That's when he said it. "Your long lost mother is in this very castle. It is Princess Luna, princess of the night or whatever you ponies call her." He said. My eyes were wide open. I felt my lower jaw drop, and I was just stunned. I wanted to believe it, but something told me he was lying. I looked at him with suspicion about his accusation. "I don't believe this! My dad was a commoner, he could never have known Luna personally, let alone bear a child with her." I said. He looked back at me in amazement. "Don't believe me? Look for yourself fool!" He said. As he said this, his horn was enveloped in an orange aura and he touched my head with it and, something happened. Everything turned dark. Suddenly there was a light and I was in my house, the one I lived in when I was a child. I saw my dad walk in carrying in food from the store. "Whew, looks like we are all stocked up for the coming weeks." He had said. I kept looking around the house. Then, I heard a crying noise coming from another room. My dad walked over to the other room. There was a crib in the other room along with some filly toys on the floor. "Aww there's daddy's little flyer! I know I was gone junior, but no need to cry. I'm here and we can play now!" He said smiling while looking in the crib. The crying stopped, and it turned into laughter. I walked over to the crib and looked in it. I saw....me as a child in the crib looking up at my dad. "Come on Soarin don't be sad, your mom promised she would visit her little royal flyer today." He said as he picked, well, me up. I jumped back in awe. My eyes were open again and I was speechless. I wasn't seen by the ponies because it was a spell that could only let you see the past. My dad carried me on his back and put me down on the floor next to some toys. I then heard some commotion outside and Luna walked in through the door. I was, again, speechless. I was just standing completely still. I honestly could not move a muscle. She then walked up to my dad, hugged him, and they kissed! "Sorry I haven't been able to visit so often, Celestia has kept meat the castle doing much royal work. Where is Soarin?" She asked. My dad smiled and pointed at my room. She smiled and walked over to my room. I followed to see what she would do. "Hey there Soarin. It's me your mommy." She said. My younger self just looked at her and got excited as she walked up and sat down next to me and wrapped her wing around me. "Well haven't you grown, my child. You need to stop growing so fast little buddy, I can't keep up with you." She said then laughed softly as my younger self just laughed and hugged her. I started to feel sadness envelope me. I couldn't believe Doom was right. "You know, I still remember why I named you Soarin. It was because I knew that, one day, I would be there to see you achieve something great and I would be proud to call myself your mom and how much honor your name will mean when people say it." She said with a soft smile on her face. I started to feel a tears coming to my eyes. "Luna, my dear, they need you outside." Said my dad. She got up, picked my younger self up, and snuggled with me. "I'm sorry Soarin, but mommy has business she needs to attend to. Wait here with your daddy." She said. My dad and her went into the other room and started talking. "What? What do you mean you can't come back?" Said my dad. Luna looked at the floor in sadness and looked back up. "My sister needs me permanently at the castle. I just have far too much to do to be going back and forth." She said. My dad looked at the floor and his ears went down. Luna put her hoof under my dads chin and picked up his head. "I will be back to see my son my dear, I promise. Can I trust you to take care of our son until then my love?" She told me dad. He looked up in pride and hugged her. "Yes I can my love, just as long as you come back." He replied. I saw a tear run down his face. Luna had one as well go down her face. She then kissed him one last time, and left out the door. Things went black again, and I saw Doom again. I was back in reality. He walked over to the balcony and looked out into the sky. I was full on crying by this time. I had tears running down my face. "You see how cruel Celestia was? She deprived you of your mother. Your own mother." Doom said. I wanted to correct him, but I couldn't. He was........right. I then remembered what Luna looked like when the guards came down to get me. My sadness turned into rage. My wings rose up, and I bolted right at Doom. He turned around before I reached him, and he stopped me in air again by raising his hoof. "You son of a bitch you hurt her! How dare you hurt her!" I yelled at him. He smiled and started laughing. "Well I had to Soarin, she attacked me to defend her sister. Celestia is still here, but Luna was waiting for me in this room." Doom responded. He started laughing again. While he was laughing, I could see he had a missing piece of something on is chest. It was in the shape of a necklace. "You will pay for this Doom. Mark my words! You will pay!" I said to him. He just looked at me like I was kidding. "Guards, take this fool down to the dungeon so he can have his little family reunion with Luna, oh and by the way, she doesn't know your name is Soarin because Celestia never told her that you were recruited by the Wonderbolts and didn't want her or you to find out, so Celestia didn't tell her what the names of the Wonderbolts are." He said. He just started laughing again and the guards came and took me back to the dungeon. When I made it back to the dungeon, I felt weak and wanted to cry again. They threw me into a cell, locked the door, and left. "Who is there? Who are you!" I heard a voice. I looked behind me and there she was. Princess Luna. My mother, and she didn't know I was her lost child. "I am the lieutenant of the Wonderbolts. I was put here by Doom. Luna, I need to ask you something, if it's ok." I said, I felt sad remembering what Doom showed me. "Go ahead pony, what is your question?" She asked. I walked up to her and took a deep breath. "A long time ago, you lived in the Ponyville area, and you had a son, but Celestia needed you at the castle, so you left." I said. Luna looked at me in shock, probably because she wanted to know how I knew this. "I want to talk about that son, do you remember who he was?" I asked, I was looking at Luna. She got up in all four hooves and looked out of the cell. "Yes it's true, I had a son, and I miss him everyday. I wish I hadn't gone to the castle that day. I will never forget my little Soarin." She said. Her head was down, and her eyes were closed. "Well Luna, you are.....my....well I am your...son. Doom showed me a flashback of my life with you there. I am Soain and you are my long lost mother, because I grew up with my dad and he had a lighter blue coat and a dark blue mane, like mine." I had said. She looked up at me and started squinting her eyes at me in suspicion. She then walked around me looking at my coat and mane. "Is it......really you? Are you my son, Soarin?" She said. I could see a tears forming around her eyes. I walked up closer to her, and I put my hoof near her neck. "Yes mom, it's me. I finally get to see my mom." I said. I looked at her smiling, with a tear coming out of one of my eyes. "I can't believe it's you, my little Soarin is almost a full grown stallion." She said with pride. She was crying, I hugged her and started to cry as well. "I'm so sorry I left you, I didn't mean to do that. I had to, you have to understand Soarin." She said. "I don't care about that Lun-....mom, all I care about is being with you right now." I replied. She just smiled and continued to hug me. ---------------------------------- "Well, it looks like I have total control of Canterlot now. Next, is to let all of Equestria know there is a new leader in town, and I will make all the ponies my slaves under my eternal rule!" Doom said. "Now just to find that pesky Celestia and get rid of her for good." Doom said. He was just smiling. Suddenly, there was a crash, and the doors fell down in the room Doom was in. The six were back with the Elements of Harmony. "Your evil plan stops here Doom!" Twilight said to him. She had a smile on her face. They all got in formation to activate the Elements of Harmony. "Well, since you get your toys to play with, let me get mine." Doom said with a smirk on his face. He aimed his horn at a part of the wall. He shot a magic bolt at it and the part of the wall exploded. In the wall, there was an amulet there. He used his magic to pick it up. "Oh no! That's the Alicorn Amulet!" Rainbow Dash said. They all looked at Doom. The amulet fit right where that hole in his chest armor was. "You thought I was powerful then, watch me now! I will have god like powers now!" He said. As it went into the slot in his armor, there was a small boom, and the aura coming from the cracks in between his armor went from orange to all blood red. All the royal guards armor went from orange to a blood red. "Come on girls, lets do this!" Twilight said. They all started powering up the Elements of Harmony. "Your Elements of Harmony mean nothing to me you fools!" Doom yelled. He got ready for when they were going to shoot the beam from Twilight. They all started floating and Twilight's eyes were enveloped in white. Then, the shot was sent directly at Doom. His Alicorn Amulet lit up red and so did his horn. He shot a huge magic bolt to counter. They both clashed, and the Elements were slowly advancing towards Doom. He was still standing his ground. The beam of light got closer and closer when, Doom started laughing and his magic bolt turned into six separate shots while also maintaining the main bolt. They all shot at all the ponies. When it hit them, their element necklace turned red and the element blast got blasted back and twilight got hit by the bolt Doom had created. All of the ponies except Twilight had the blood red eyes. "You see?!?!?! Nothing can beat Doom! My reign will last forever!" He said as he started laughing. He used his magic and teleported Twilight into the dungeon. The other ponies were just standing there, lifeless as if he had taken their soul, and in a way, he did.
