Corrections to Past Mistakes

Horror woke up on a red, cold, dusty, floor. He coughed up small amounts of blood as he slowly came to.
He looked around and the only things he saw was not in greyscale was the bits of blood he spat up. his stomach churned and fought against him as he slowly sat up.

He looked around and saw an endless expanse of black space, some strange tablets hung in midair. They each had a single grey rune that glowed and radiated. He looked around to see he was on a path that only went forward, the part behind him was simply not there, looking like it was wearing away very slowly.
Horror got up onto his hooves, panting as he felt weary, strained and even slightly violated. He managed to muster strength to stand up, he shook lightly as he kept his balance, feeling a slimy liquid on his flank, he turned around and was surprised as he knew it all too well, and it wasn't blood.

He stumbled forward, one step at a time, each step allowed his body a chance to betray him as his whole body shook violently with each step. He eventually made it to a set of stairs and tried to get up them, but he at this point couldn't raise his hoof any higher than a single inch and ended up collapsing on the steps, huffing and panting, his heart beating rapidly, a hot warmth spread through his body, and he fell unconscious for a few minutes of the first two steps.
He woke up to a foul smell in the air, if there was air, and he felt like he was being watched, slightly more energy in his body, he got up and ran up the small stairs that were there. He still saw nothing but gray, minus the liquid on him which was an eerie white which softly glowed, standing out from the greyscale world.

He ignored that for now and saw something up ahead, two massive white eyes which glowed exactly like fluid on his flank, it laughed at him and he suddenly felt extremely weak again.
Caught off-guard, Horror collapsed on the spot, but managed to get up after a minute of struggling once again and stepped painfully towards the eyes.
He eventually got to be in front of it, the eyes staring lasers at him, metaphorically.

A strange force started to pour into his highly tired and strained body, causing massive pain everywhere, screaming out in utter pain, black tears easily flowing from his eyes in seconds, he black out from pain of an unknown process that went on for many more minutes...

Back in Equestria, since the world's restoration and Horror's abduction, he'd not rested even one hour, it had been three days and he was looking like the most tired pony ever known. He was going on coffee, sweets like cupcakes and muffins and cookies, and also adrenaline.
he'd looked through around a hundred or so books, but now was in the canterlot archives room, with two royal guards to look over him of course. he looked through scroll after scroll, looking for some way to extract a pony from another dimension or world.

But it was all for naught as practically every single scroll in the chamber didn't have anything, and before that, he learned how to read magical runes. He placed the last scroll down in time to collapse on the ground and sob softly, smacking the floor in frustration.
he felt a hoof on his shoulder, Luna's hoof, it calmed him, but he still sobbed softly "We... We're Never going to see him again... are we?"
Luna couldn't answer, but she just simply extended a wing over the actually freezing pegasus and picked him up, she took him to a guest suite in the castle and tucked him into bed, she wished him goodnight and reassured him "We promise to you Storm, we Will find your friend, and bring him back..." and closed the door behind herself.
Her sister asked her to check up on him every now and then, and he'd been searching for a way for three solid daysand nights, today, bordering on the 4th night, she felt sorry for him in a way, losing one you cared for, whether they're a friend, loved one or just somepony they met.

It's never easy to lose somepony you care for.

Storm woke up in a dreary realm atop a column of stone that stood many yards high. He could see the entire kingdom, the entire world devoid of all clouds, fog or any sign on air, yet he could still breathe. Everything was desolate, the entire ground, was barren, save for dark red and dark brown roots that covered it everywhere. He could see the roots pulse and very slowly move as if alive. His hearing came and he heard only a small slithering noise coming from the noise.
He was high up enough to see the sky thinning out into outer space, yet he felt no wind, and saw literally no clouds, looking up he could see the black, starry expanse most ponies looked up to in wonderment.

"What happened... Was i asleep that long?" he stood up and looked around, he only saw a single massive building to the south, it looked like a terrifying gothic castle only an evil villain would even bother owning.

He heard a light voice, it sounded like his friend Firefly, but it came from all directions, and no source could be seen, plus the fact she spoke to him baffled him, she'd been missing ever since Zalgo/Cthulhu entered the realm. "This... is the real reality, if you do not save your friend, for within him lies... the one thing all equestrians have... The way home, Cthulhu will find it, and the world will be altered to this lifeless world."

Storm woke up in the real world in a cold sweat in his bed, screaming horrifically. A gentle and supportive voice asked him from his left "Are you alright Storm?"
He looked to the source, seeing the voice belonged to none other than Princess Celestia herself, Storm jumped his mane standing on end, out of the bed in sheer surprise "Ahh!"
He hit the floor with a thud, landing on his back, he groaned in pain, lying there. Celestia quickly walked over, concern in her tone "Are you Alright Storm?"
Storm got up slowly, rubbing his back, nodding "Yeah, i'm okay... okay, okay, yeah i'm okay..." He said the part after the pause in a low, nervous tone, as if to himself. He was completely shaken from his dream as he remembered only the first part of it, the dark red and dark brown tentacle covered landscape, the lack of any signs of any atmosphere, no fog, clouds or air, just only gravity and unanswered questions.

Celestia didn't look all that convinced but didn't press it as she turned for the door "I found something you should see... a portal spell, unlike any i've seen... I'll just show it to you... I hope i've memorized it"
Celestia turned around and levitated Storm onto the bed, her horn glowing.
Her horn started to glow brightly and she began to concentrate, groaning from the effort.

Eventually, her efforts were rewarded as a purple orb shot out of her horn, pushing her back and hitting the floor in the center of the room. She fell over, the orb pushing her with great force. She looked towards the portal and spoke "This portal, will take you to Cthulhu's realm, where Horror is trapped, it'll stay for days until it is used twice, then it will close...

Storm closed his eyes and thought deeply 'I may have to fight Cthulhu... I'll need my weapons and Armor' He thought, He spoke, calm and determined once again "I need my Harmony Daggers and my Power Armor"
Celestia nodded and summoned them, appearing out of thin air and placed them beside the bed.

Storm got off the bed and stood up on both hind legs, He placed his hooves in two holes on the shoulders and closed his eyes.
The suit did it's work as each and every part moved along his body, eventually forming the same piece of armor.
Storm grabbed his Harmony Daggers, Two daggers attached to eachother in a rope made of light, emitted from the bottoms of each. The Daggers themselves were golden and had two orb-like gems each, the left, had small red and green gems, and the right had blue and yellow gems of equal size.

He saluted to Celestia "I'll be back very soon Celestia, but close it if anything tries to get through, other than me or Horror" And jumped into the portal, Daggers in both hooves.

The entire world vanished in an eerie flash of darkness as he sunk into the portal.

And was violently spit out onto a cold stone surface, the entire thing drenched in blood.
He got up quickly, though shaking and fighting to not slip on the red liquid.
he saw only five feet in front of his face, the suit's shoulder lamps did literally nothing, in fact it increased the darkness of the dimension. He walked on the path, hoping he would see any gaps before he tried to step into one, but found none.

He heard pained groans and sick gushing sounds, suddenly a display popped up on the suit's Heads Up Display, it flashed red and yellow alternating in color. "Massive Energy spike detected" it read, but another beside it came up "Warning, Spacial Rift detected" it was a solid purple this time, not blinking, but he knew that purple was the suit's most dangerous classification of any threat, so he tread carefully, looking all around him.
The blood he walked on seemed to get even stickier, as if it were fresh, his stomach and face twisted as it also seemed to actually flow, instead of being an immobile carpet.

Something pushed against him now, very powerful, more of a wall than a force, the darkness was extremely thick here. He took his daggers and cut into the darkness itself, cutting a small hole, large enough for him to fit through, he dove through and landed in a pool of blood that went all the way to the steps three feet away from him.

He got up and saw Horror floating in the air, darkness was flowing from him steadily and several tentacles were sticking into his gut, the sight horrified him as Horror's blood poured slowly down, seemingly endless.
Storm ran out of the blood pool and leaped at the tentacles, slashing them and causing them to utterly vanish, but this was simply an illusion as the same ones grabbed him in mid-air, Horror's body hit the blood-drenched floor with a sick splat.

"Well, Well, Well... A pony working with my old enemies... interesting" Cthulhu itself spoke in a dark voice that came from all directions and seemed to assault his will. A couple questions arose in his mind, but looking at Horror's unmoving body sparked a fire in him, as she suddenly got very angry, Horror was dead as his suit read no vital signs from his other half's body, and he wasn't going to suffer the same fate.

Both his daggers glowed a brilliant white light that blinded Cthulhu and dropped Storm, who never saw a light, just a very faint glow. "You... killed my other half... son of a bitch..." He leaped at Cthulhu and slashed the massive entity across the eye, but he was simply not done, not by a long shot.
His entire body glowed brighter and brighter with each strike he dealt, and after he practically raked it's face, he smiled as his armor seemed to move onto the daggers, making them even longer, until they both were twice as long as he was tall on both hindlegs.
his eyes glowed a pure white as he dealt blinding death to Cthulhu, slashing the massive blades in mid-air, cutting ridiculously deep into it.
he slashed it celestia-knows how many times, before it fell into a thousand pieces, falling into the eternal abyss below.

He floated to the ground and collapsed, the daggers and what was his suit had utterly vanished with the last attack, and he felt weak, Storm crawled over to his dead friend and put himself on him, sobbing quietly.

Horror blinked with completely blackened eyes at Storm and giggled painfully "You're... Such a D-Drama Queen" Storm smile at him, but Horror noticed something, he couldn't see his friends color like usual, save for Storm's purple eyes, which glowed weakly. Horror smiled and nuzzled his friend and put his hooves on Storm, who was surprised "You're... You're alive? good, you... need to get out of here"

"No... we're leaving together" Storm was about to object when a massive burst of light flashed from where Cthulhu had fallen down, it pushed them far, directly at the portal, forcing them through as it closed.

Storm woke up just barely in a white room, tubes feeding into his hooves and he was in a bed of the same color. He was in a hospital, and felt numb all over, he couldn't even move anything, as he was bandaged up tail to mane, head to hoof.
"Ahh You're awake... You should be lucky" a doctor said off from a corner he couldn't see.
"MMmmPh?" he meant to ask "What?" but his mouth was also bandaged and the most numb of everything, he didn't even know if he had one anymore.
"Well you see... When you flew out of that portal, you hit the wall so hard, you broke almost everything, the poor colt with you was fine when we got you both here" the doctor walked into his view and smiled "The part that's lucky is that he activated his darkness aura... yes we know of that... which absorbed most of the blow. You should be dead right now Storm, be grateful that's not any different" Storm giggled in agreement, and watched as the doctor walked out, his brown tail disappearing behind the doorway of the room.
"Alright you can speak with him"
Horror rushed in and hugged Storm, obviously concerned, Storm didn't mind his suddenly out of character behavior, especially after what they just dealt with.
"You've been in here for so long, i started thinking you'd never make it back!" this sentence seemed odd to Storm and he made a questioning groan.

"You've been in here for ten years, there was a parasite on you making your condition worse, but they just took it out now, which is why you're all... numb"
Storm smiled, atleast her eyes did, he didn't care at all, He and horror were completely safe, no longer in threat of the world being destroyed.

With Cthulhu dead, Storm Chaser thought that Firefly would no longer appear to him, signalling things were normal once again.

Yet there she was.

Standing in the corner.

Her face half torn off, and jagged teeth snarled in a growl.

Mission Accomplished, Storm ignored her and laid his head back.
