> Loved By One Saved By Many > by Nightmarity19 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After a few months of finding himself Starter walked back to Ponyville in good spirits to see Luna's smiling face but where he arrived there was no pony expect for him. "Where is everypony?" asked Starter. Doors and windows creaked a bit then a blood curdling scream can be heard from the flower shop so Starter jumped into action heading towards. He broke in through the front door to see a pony lying face down not moving, as Starter inched closer he saw blood all over the magical burn mark that went through her. "Oh my Luna what the hell happened?" asked Starter in horror. All of a sudden hoof steps approached as it was coming back to finish off any pony that was still alive so Starter hid in the fireplace when a purple alicorn princess walked in and looked around. "I could've sworn I heard something in here it must've been my imagination," said Twilight. What is Celestia's most faithful student doing here? thought Starter Twilight looked down at her work and smirked wickedly giving off an evil laugh. This is getting very strange I'd better find Luna and fast thought Starter. Coming out of his hiding he couldn't believe or even fathom why Celestia's star student just committed an unspeakable murder of another pony but a more intriguing question was: What did this poor pony do to deserve this gruesome murder? That was the million bit question that will be answered much later but for now he had to get to Princess Luna. Walking out the same way he came down the road to bat ponies at another what seemed like a crime scene with Luna orchestrating everything until she noticed Firestarter and they hugged each other. "Firestarter! Good to see you again! It's good to see you again," excited Luna with an uncontrollable amount of excitement. "I can say the same for you Luna," responded Starter. The celebration was over when Luna explained about a growing number of murders in Ponyville. "Any leads?" asked Starter. "The only lead we have is Twilight Sparkle was the last pony at the scene but so far nothing new," explained Luna. "That's funny cause I saw Twilight stand over a dead pony's body then laughing," said Starter recalling what he saw earlier. Luna was puzzled but at the same time understanding at the detective like perception her student was even though Twilight was their only lead. Walking back to the castle there was so many questions Luna wanted answered but that will have to wait. "So is everypony missing me?" asked Starter. "Yes we all thought you were dead but I never gave up hope because I knew you would come back and here you are," said Luna with a bright smile. Looking back at the place where it all began the mere thought of it echoed inside Starter's mind. He delayed it and began to find his armor plating and helmet that was well placed in Starter's locker by another one of his fellow soldiers which made him very happy. "They're flame resistant meaning you can wear them without burning them," said Luna. "Thanks," said Starter as an unexpected visitor arrived at the castle. "Princess Twilight Sparkle I presume," introduced Luna with narrow eyes. "Hello Luna what a pleasant surprise I was just in the neighborhood to see how you are," said Twilight as she walked in. "I'm doing fine," sneered Luna getting very irritated by Twilight's sudden surprise visit. Twilight spotted Starter with a devilish but seductive look on her face that made him blush like a strawberry. The purple princess circled Starter still maintaining her eye contact on him which almost gave him a very odd and disturbing vibe. "Am I making you uncomfortable Firestarter?" asked Twilight rubbing Starter's cheek. Starter tried to speak but was lost for words. "Twilight is there a specific reason your hear or do I have to escort you out?" asked Luna irritated. "You don't need to do the sort because I was just on my way out," responded Twilight sharply as she slipped something in Starter's saddlebag then left with a smirk. Luna let out a heavy sigh. Finally she's out, my student must be violated by Miss Sparkle's behavior thought Luna. Firestarter was standing still in a trance because of Twilight's circling him like a predator does with its prey. Luna snapped her student out of his trance by hitting him upside the head then he shook his head looking around and looking confused at the same time. "You ok?" asked Luna. Starter shook his head as to say yes. "I apologize for Twilight's behavior it was inexcusable to say the least," apologized Luna. "Not a problem," responded Starter. Starter gave her teacher one last hug before heading to his home where he was welcomed with a refreshing scent of pumpkin spice and roses that made the whole room smell 100x better. Putting his saddle bag, a piece of paper Twilight slipped fell off and floated in the air until it hit the floor for Starter to pick up to reveal this. Come to the castle at midnight come alone His face turned as red as a strawberry on a cool summer day but the fact Twilight asked this strange request to see Luna's most prized student made it even more suspicious and surprisingly arousing. I'll go see her but I'll keep my guard up in case she tries anything thought Starter. Midnight came as Twilight set up a bunch of candles and rose petals making a path for Starter to follow. Then she checked the other room just to make sure no pony else would ruin her first meeting with Firestarter Dazzle when all rooms were cleared she sat in her bed sexual, waiting for Starter arrive. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Firestarter followed the rose petals to reveal Twilight laying on her bed in a seductive way. Looking over at the purple princess gave him quite a shock while also having a wingboner. Giggling, Twilight crawled off the bed then greeted him by lifting his chin for a passionate kiss. "Mmm!" was all Starter could say as Twi locked lips with him but broke the kiss. "My, my you taste so delicious" said Twilight giggling before kissing him again but this time she held it. A knock could be heard from the front door as Twilight broke the kiss. "Who could that be at this hour!" asked Twilight marching towards the door in anger. Princess Luna stood proudly with her mane flowing with the gentle cool breeze of the moonlight creating a shadow for the moon princess but the look on her face was that of worry and anger but mostly worry. "Oh Princess Luna I never knew you would be here tonight" said Twilight sheepishly. "I am to retrieve my student from your little hi jinks Miss Sparkle" stated Luna firmly. Starter was in the doorway poking his head out until walking out with Princess Luna leaving Twilight's castle with her looking dumb founded at the sight before her. "How can that princess just waltz in here during my little moment with Firestarter Dazzle?!? Although...I was able to obtain some information on that pendant he has" said Twilight with a smirk on her face that spread from ear to ear. Reaching into her saddlebag she pulled out a snapshot of Starter's pendant then putting it into her computer in her laboratory to scan his pendant closely. It revealed a hidden nightmare power that was placed there as a curse for him. "So this pendant has nightmare powers? Interesting" said Twilight rubbing her chin in complete and total interest. Looking at it by using an X Ray like screen she could see a nightmare like armor but instead of darkness it was flames. A small gasp escaped Twilight's mouth as she backed up into a corner as the photo fell to the floor. "This is worse than I thought but for some reason I want that power" said Twilight looking at the picture. She couldn't believe that one of Luna's students had a supposed nightmare living inside him but if she was the one with that kind of power who knows what Twilight was capable of. "I must have that power!" shouted Twilight eyeing the night sky. Luna heard all of Twi's plan then told Firestarter to return back to the castle in Canterlot while she handled the crazed alicorn princess named Twilight Sparkle. She stormed inside but was met with a purple magical blast that took her outside skidding on the cold hard ground. Twilight emerged from her castle with a devilish and snarky smile on her face as she approached Luna then broke her horn off rendering her magic useless. "Can't defend yourself without your magic" said Twilight as she grabbed Luna by the neck then breaking her windpipe. Luna tried to speak but no sound could come out, this put a smile on Twilight's face. The attack was averted because of a flame blast almost took Twilight's head off and into a tree burning it all over until it was nothing but branches. Firestarter stood there as firmly as possible against the power hungry pony, Twilight tried to put on a innocent face as a way to get Starter to let her go but she was met with a punch in the face that sent her into a apple tree. The mere thud caused all the apples to fall on top of her forcing her to use a shockwave move pushing them all in different directions. "You ignorant boy! Now your going to pay!" shouted Twilight as her eyes turned pure white and glowing. Luna was able to stand up to see the sight before her. Twilight gathered a large energy ball that was about the size of a boulder loomed over all three of them. "We need to go...now Starter!" pleaded Luna which hurt her throat even more but all in all she was trying to move her student to move. Starter did not budge not even moving a muscle provoking Twilight to throw it at him. She took this as a way for Starter to prove her so she threw the energy ball at them hoping it would finish off Luna and Firestarter. Oh how wrong Twi was, the ball hit not with a humongous and monumental explosion, a yellow blue hue of magic lifted it up with ease which shocked Twilight that she had to see Starter and Luna lifting it up then throwing it far way where an explosion happened. "What? That's impossible! No pony has ever dodged that!" said Twilight as she got more and more frustrated. Luna's jaw hanged open at the sight of what her student just did but then again Firestarter was a pyromancer that also learned about shadow magic and trained under Princess Luna's wing. Twilight dive bombed on Starter hitting him in the face repeatedly but as she was going for her last punch Starter grabbed her hoof and kicked her in the face knocking her down to the ground. Blood came out of his mouth but it only pissed him off more as he charged up his magic and blasted her in the chest leaving a burn mark the size of a red apple on Twilight's chest. A ear piercing shriek could be heard from Twilight who winced and writhed in pain because it hurt so much that words could not express it. "Starter I think that's enough" said Luna still a little froggy in her voice because of what Twilight did to her earlier. Starter wanted to keep going with the assault but let go of his anger then walked away and carried Luna on her back, leaving Twilight on the ground with the apple sized burn on her chest. When she got up the pain was even worse when she stood up and tried to walk, with each step the pain got worse and worse until she got to her castle and laid down on the bed back first relaxing herself hoping she would recover from that attack but only time will tell. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Firestarter was able to put Luna on the bed to see if he could repair her horn but to no avail, she was able to speak but it was still froggy but getting better. Luna looked over her shoulder to see how much Starter has grown ever since he started to become a night guard before the vamponies sacrificed him to Nightmare Moon causing him to be a pony fireball. It still surprises Luna that this was what she was seeing before her, Starter gave her a throat soother so her voice could be at least be decent but the horn might be a little difficult. "Damn it" cursed Starter as Luna put a hoof on his cheek reassuring him it was going to be alright. Starter wanted to be sure of everything was ok but something about Twilight attacking Luna didn't sound right so he used a spell to put Luna in a deep sleep until he returned to her then ran off into Ponyville, crossing through the Everfree Forest to enter the small town and stopped when he saw a red moon in the sky which did not boat well for him. He looked around for anypony still around but got no answer so he flew up in the air and flew around Ponyville. What the hell is a red moon doing here and where is everypony? Was there an emergency? thought Starter as he flew faster and faster. Twilight blasted him down with red magic which caused him to crash land but get up quickly to see Twi with an amulet (not the alicorn amulet that would be too easy) this amulet was similar to Starter's but the only difference was it was in the shape of a bat with a purple shaped heart inside it glowing brightly almost blinding the pyromancer. "What's wrong Starter? Too bright for you, after I'm done with you your precious Luna is next" said Twilight which followed up with a evil laugh. Starter got up and his pendant lit up like a Christmas Tree, transforming him into a Nightmare but with flames as his mane and red armor growling like a monster who just woke up with sharp teeth and reptile like eyes. Twilight took this as a threat and began attacking him but using the red magic before to take him but his armor took most of the damage then Starter rushed her using Nightmare Speed and kicked her in the face hard knocking two teeth out of her mouth. Twilight smirked evilly and shrouded herself in shadows avoiding any kind of magic blast Firestarter had and using her own to take him off his feet which then caused them to be at a standstill, looking at each other waiting for the other to make a move. "Your strong I'll give you that but your not as strong as me" exclaimed Twilight as she lept into the sky then coming back down with a red and black jacket, mane a mix of black and light red, armor on her left and right hooves, sharp fangs and pale skin. This was her unknown power all along which gave Starter a scare seeing that this was the time those vamponies sacrificed him in the first place. Twilight laughed insanely then proceeded to walk up to Starter and him him with her new found powers: Metallic blood. It hit him like a whip which he couldn't block or when he tried it didn't work, Twilight then kept up the assault by hitting him with more quick heavy attacks tearing into his armor but Starter was able to blast her away a few feet before she flung him into the air and appeared above him and bit his neck drinking a bit of his blood before he hit the ground hard while Twi landed with grace, his blood gave her a bit of a health boost at this point. Starter tried to get up but with every strain of him getting up the pain got worse but he was not about to give up to this monster, he blasted her with magic several times but missed every time because of her speed then appearing in his face before kicking it causing to take a spiral into a tree head first cracking his skull and leaving a blood soaked mark on the tree trunk then blood trickled down his head as he reverted back to normal. "No no not now!" yelled Starter trying to change back but no dice. Twilight took her time as she walked over to the fallen fire pony licking her fangs ready to kill him finally. In his mind he knew going off of his own was a bad idea but was not about to give up this easily even though it seemed he was out matched, that's never stopped him before so he was ready to fight again. "Round 2 eh? Your funeral" said Twilight as she ran up and hit him in the chest. Starter spat out blood and hit the ground hard and Twi bit his arm drinking his blood as he screamed in pain. She let go and picked him up with her magic then threw him into a house which put a huge crater in it as Starter tumbled all over the ground desperately trying to turn back into his Nightmare form. Twilight was in hot pursuit of the pyromancer and wasn't stopping so Starter hid behind a tree looking at his pendant as it glowed bright and he clenched his eyes as he transformed once again into his nightmare form which healed all his wounds. Now he was ready for a fight and he stepped out to meet Twilight who had his blood in her mouth as it dripped to the ground, the two charged at each other giving them each quick heavy and light attacks hoping one of them would drop to the ground. Starter tried to punch Twilight but she punched his pendant breaking it in two causing him to change back again then hitting the cold unforgiving dirt and skid almost to a stop trying to get up but Twi chanted a spell in a dead language forcing Starter to stay down. "Now this is the part where I kill you" whispered Twilight in his ear, letting him go and hitting him with a fury of heavy metallic blood attacks giving him all kinds of scars and even leaving bite marks on his neck and arm weakening him in any attack he tried to perform. Firestarter knew this was going to be the end and Twi gave him the final blow to the mouth knocking out his teeth spilling him over to the ground with Twilight looking over him as if was bowing to her. "This could've all been avoided my friend if you just left Ponyville and never came back because of your fiery temper, now your going to die" explained Twilight as she walked away and left Starter who was trying to get up and that put a smile on Twilight's face. I.....won't........give.........up.......yet!" said Starter as his fire power came and revealed him as a fire phoenix ability which gave him large fire wings with shadow tips on them. This surprised Twilight but with a low growl as Starter flew over to her punching her with newest attacks that Twilight tried to block but failed miserably causing her power top deplete a little but she knew how to get it back, her eyes went cold black as coal and her powers returned to her as the two powerful ponies fought in the air hitting each other with their most lethal attacks that would kill anypony else. Starter and Twilight clashed with their most powerful attack which caused a shockwave sending them both backwards into the air but shaking it off and going at it again this time with more intensity and no holding back. I am going to end this! thought Starter and Twilight. Starter conjured up a blazing ball of fire while Twilight created an attack that had a bunch of shadows wrapped around it, looking at one another they knew this was going to be the end. They took one last look at each other then flew at each other, attack in their possession and when their attacks collided with each other it caused a shockwave so massive that houses were reduced to nothingness and trees ended up leaving their roots. Inside the shockwave Twilight went to go hit Stater but he countered by hitting her amulet scratching it until the supernova they created began to disappear into the air leaving only a lifetimes of nights to come as Starter laid on the ground passed out from using his power so much and Twilight staring down at him with a blank look on her face as rain began to fall on top of the two fighters, a sharp pain in Twilight's chest caused her to fall to her knees as she transformed back to her normal self looking down at her opponent Firestarter Dazzle. "Your a fool for fighting with a princess but damn you never give up" said Twilight to the passed out pyro pony. Twilight left him there and shrouded herself in the darkness where no pony would ever see her again. I hope you and I Starter never meet again because if we do I will kill you this time and Luna will watch as I destroy you
