Chapter 19 A New Power The Hidden Pain Broken Seal, Righteous Evil The sun shined down upon a surprisingly big cloud filled to the brim with anxious pegasi waiting to race. Cadenza flew down from the sky landing next to Celestia. "I haven't missed the race, have I?" "Nope your just in time it'll start soon, by the way..." Celestia slowly turned to Cadenza with a fearful look in her eyes. "Did you... Did you find Don?" "Yes... But... When I got there... he wasn't looking to good." Cadenza shook her head in utter amazement, surprisal, and fear. "Before I knew it, once I tried to get close to Don, I blacked out it felt as if all of my energy was just taken?" "Taken?" "Yes... Taken, but the thing is, I believe it was Don who took the energy from me." "Just before I blacked out I could just barely feel Don's presence all around me, but I'm not sure what it means." "When I awoke I found myself in Ponyvile specifically the town hall, the mayor there told me that a human had brought me there, it was Don!" "So Don brought you there, how strange, we'll I wonder why he didn't just bring you to Canterlot?" Cadenza starred downwards into the crowd of pegasi, Rainbow Dash seemed to pop out. Cadenza sighed, "Maybe he just had something else to do that was more important!" Meanwhile Colarine finished rolling around on her new favorite cloud, she stopped and looked down to the cloud scoping out the competition. Colarine's eyes widened as she counted the number of pegasi that showed up to race. "Whoa! That's a lot of pegasi at once this is gonna be a crowded close hooves race." Colarine continued to bask on her little cloud. "Yep, it should be exciting!" Boarders of Equestria Don lied nearly lifeless on the ground the sun's heat beaming down on to him speeding up the process. Marrie's bright blue eyes shot open, she sat up slowly holding her chest in pain, she looked around to have no clue as to where she was. "Where am I?" Marrie continued looking around for some clue to her whereabouts. "Why do I feel like..." Then it hit her like an ice truck heading down to hell. "Don, oh my gosh!" "I remember he was fighting... He was... fighting... me." Marrie whipped the blood off her face. "But, why did he do this to me?" "Ahh! I can't fully remember!" "It doesn't matter I've got a thing or two to say to him once I find him!" Marrie was taking it slow she had some control at least. Marrie stood up slowly, "Why can't I sense the fool!" Finally Marrie noticed the gigantic dust cloud shrouding the sky. "What... the heck, what's happened here?" Finally Marrie was barely able to detect Don's fading life force within the haze of heat and dust, Marrie without thinking blindly charged into the dust cloud. Marrie had reached Don, she stood above him looking down her heart just cracked. Don was barely able to look up to her with one eye closed, but his eyes where glowing red, he took a breath about to speak. Marrie fell down to her knees, "No Don don't speak save your energy!" Marrie's eyes watered she could no longer see straight. "Oh Don! Why?" Don was barely able to speak it was low toned and difficult to here. "Marrie..." "Yes... Don!" "Marrie... do you know... how to... heal!" Marrie cried deeply, "I never got around to it, I only focused on learning techniques, spells, and attacks, used ." "That's a... Bummer!" "Well your going to have to try it anyway." Marrie looked down to Don she noticed his body was different. After a few seconds she finally realized it was gone. "Don... Did... You... Release the seal!" Don ignored Marrie, "First Marrie you place your left hand on my forehead." Marrie's anger steamed but considering Don was lying on seconds on end she complied quickly. "OK Now what?" "Second, place your right hand over my chest... specifically my heart." Marrie looked over to Don's left arm it sparked black static discharged off of it. "Oh no not now!" "Don quickly what next!" "OK.. Third, channel a steady stream of energy through your left hand going down my body to my heart then back up." "What but that makes no..." Marrie just do it!" "Fine!" Marrie's left hand glowed brightly as the bruises and cuts on Don's face slowly healed. Marrie's eyes widened, "Whoa!" "See Marrie it's a good thing you did all of that training in magical control it makes this easy." "Yeah... I... Suppose!" "Whoa!" The moment Don had energy to spare he began suppressing the energy he had released from within the seal. "Now... Don... Did you break the seal?" Don looked up to Marrie the sun shinned around her making her difficult to stare at. "No... Marrie I didn't break the seal... It broke itself!" Marrie jerked, "What? My seals don't just break!" "Yes it broke but if it hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to save you." "Save me, what are you talking about?" "I see so you don't remember well a terrible tyrant dragon named Itenza had place a mind control spell ensnaring you." "But if that wasn't enough he then erased you, I thought you where a goner but I heard you calling out from deep within." Marrie seemed totally confused. Don sat up slowly, "Much better than a few moments ago!" Suddenly while Don was trying to gather his bearing, Marrie grabbed a hold of him holding him tightly. Marrie didn't speak she just hugged Don. "Don..." "Marrie, I need to know how did you get here?" Suddenly Marrie wanted to break away from the hug but Don wouldn't let her he held on to her tightly. "Umm... Well, I used a new type of teleportation spell and I followed your energy residue through subspace." Don's eyes widened before laughing, "Really... that's amazing!" "Yeah it is... kind of, but I left the new spell book that had the spell in it behind I kind of accidentally teleported here, so... I'm... Stuck here!" "By the way Don where is here!" Don face palmed with all of his strength. "I'll tell you some other time but first I have something important to attend to." "So wait here I'll return with my spell book you can use it." "Your spell book you mean the one you stole from dad." "No it's not stealing if he's dead." Marrie gulped heavily... "yeh I suppose." Don stood up and looked to the clear blue sky, "This should be interesting." Don stretched his arms, legs, back, then he popped his neck back into place. Don sprinted in place for a moment, "I feel pretty good!" "Dang sis your a natural at healing!" Don punched the air several times in quick rapid succession, Don did the same but this time he kicked the air. "Whoa!" "This is different!" Finally it hit Don. He realized after the seal was broken all of his sealed powers that where locked away for two decades, where now flowing through him. "I'm in control!" Don flew into the air, Don spun around flew in all directions he did back flips all quickly. Don didn't seem to notice but he was moving so quickly he left a trail of black static in his wake. "Whoa that's awesome!" As Don looked behind him as he flied so he could see the static, he also saw the ground and how destroyed it was. Don stopped suddenly as he hovered upside down thinking heavily not moving, not breathing, not blinking. "Hmm..." Marrie looked up high into the air in complete and utter jealousy. Marrie jumped into the air she flew up to Don who continued to float there like a... A floating statue that didn't move. "Hmm... I've got it." Don quickly rotated his body so he was facing right way up again. Don began channeling energy into his hands. Marrie arrived on scene, suddenly Don took a rather large deep breath. "Don what are you..." Marrie was interrupted. "Descendants of the Day." "Creatures of the Night." "Here my plea, take my energy!" "Restore this forest, restore this land, restore the life that has been meaninglessly taken by my command!" Don shot both of his hand away from him, a massive surge of magic shock waved away from Don. Marrie looked down to the desolated land. Don pulled his arms to his chest quickly then lowered them. He pondered if it worked cause he felt like he didn't lose any energy at all from that. "Whoa I'm still maxed!" Marrie turned to Don, "What the hell, Don you know that spell is forbidden!" Don merely turned his head to Marrie and smiled. "Shut up... It's my spell I'll use it how I please." Marrie watched as the trees sprouted from the ground replacing the old. The tarnished black tarred ground began slowing regaining its original color. The dust clouds mixed in with rising ash slowly vanished. Wildlife returned for a second chance at life. Marrie was amazed Don could even do that spell. Marrie flew in front of Don who just crisscrossed his arms they starred each other down. Marrie focused entirely on Don. Marrie's eyes widened in fear. "Don, I...I... I can't detect anything from you, I can't even feel your life force, why is that?" "It's... because... I'm suppressing... all of them!" "WHAT!" "Your actually capable of suppressing your own life force without compromising your existence?" Don's eyes widened, "Umm... Sure let's go with that one!" "Wow that's incredible!" Don seemed slightly confused on what she was talking about, Don looked down to his hands. "OK, Marrie you wait here I'll be back!" Don disappeared instantly after he finished that sentence. Marrie was totally jelly! An maybe a little angry. Cloudsdale All of the participating participants lined up in an orderly fashion. Starting from youngest to oldest. Rainbow Dash was on one end Princess Celestia was on the opposite. In the center was Spitfire and Soarin. Cadenza and the supposedly in secret Colarine where closer to Celestia. Shining Armor landed on to the starting line he wasn't to far away from Rainbow Dash. Pinky Pie and Applejack where right next to Rainbow Dash. Suddenly Don appeared between Spitfire and Soarin. Don reached out and pulled them close. "What's up!" "Hey, Don!" Spitfire said in a low adorable tone. Don didn't respond he starred at Spitfire, "Whoa! You look nice, almost as if your glowing!" "Why thank you Don!" Soarin moved close to Don, he whispered, "Suck up!" Don whispered back to Soarin, "I'm not a suck up, I don't even know what I would be sucking up for, I'm just complementing her beautiful coat!" Don teleported away, Don reappeared next to Celestia. Celestia didn't even notice Don was there. "Oh right... I'm still supposedly suppressing my power!" Celestia turned quickly to see if she wasn't just hearing things. "What's up!" Celestia was so happy to see Don, she hadn't seen him since they entered the EverFree forest to go after Cadenza. Celestia immediately took notice of Don's pair of glowing red eyes. "Don... You... you made it... just in time the race will begin in a few minutes." "How long is a few minutes?" "Specifically four minutes!" Don turned and looked into the crowd of pegasi. "That should be plenty of time, see there's a pegasi out here that still thinks I'm dead so I'll be back!" "What who and why would they think your dead?" "Because I might've appeared dead or almost to that certain pegasi, be right back!" Don teleported again. Don reappeared standing a few feet behind Rainbow Dash, he felt judgmental on how things where about to turn out. Don stepped up beside Rainbow he ruffled her mane, and for a moment to Rainbow Dash time seemed to stand still, she slowly turned and looked up. The blinding sun made it difficult to see but a human form and a pair of frighteningly evil eyes was standing above her. Don sat down on the cloud, it felt amazingly soft like he could fall asleep on it. Rainbow Dash seemed afraid and joy filled her mouth widened, she remembered back to when she wondered how she got home now she knew. Don pulled up his sleeve wishing he had a watch, he sat there waiting for a response. Suddenly Don got what he was waiting for, Rainbow Dash crashed into Don almost knocking him through the cloud. Don hugged Rainbow tightly, "I'm sorry you had to see me when I was in such a critical state!" Rainbow's eyes watered, "Don I thought you where..." Don stopped her. "I know but I'm not I can't be defeated that easily you should know that remember I took out two of those big polar bear looking thingy's.. the Ursa's." "Yeah! I remember that was awesome!" Applejack and Pinky Pie looked around to see Don had finally arrived they where both happy to see him. "Geronimo!" Applejack yelled as she flopped on top of Rainbow Dash. Don turned slightly then opened up his left arm catching Applejack. "Sup, filly!" Applejack took a breath. "Well hey Don nice of you to join us, we thought you where gonna chicken out!" Applejack starred into Don's eyes they where glowing red, a chill went down her spin, she tried to brush it off though. Don starred up into the blue sky, "What, who me, you realize who your talking too!" Applejack looked over to Rainbow Dash, she was about speak, when she noticed a steady stream running down her face. Pinky Pie flew through the air flying straight at Don. Don quickly reached for Pinky Pie grabbing her and pulling her into the comfort session for Rainbow. Applejack quickly covered her ears Pinky Pie was about to speak. Pinky Pie took a frighteningly large breath. "Hello, Don its about time you made it we where afraid that you weren't gonna show that would've ruined the entire race considering your the mane attraction." "I was so worried I mean what if you didn't make it the entire world could've exploded that would've been awful!" Applejack, Don and even Rainbow Dash all stopped to stare at Pinky Pie. Pinky Pie noticed Rainbow Dash her mane her light blue coat, she took another breath about to yell. "It's the balloon..." Suddenly Pinky Pie as well finally noticed how gloomy Rainbow Dash was. "...nevermind!" Don held the three fillies tightly. Applejack was hesitant, but she could just leave some pony to cry right beside her. "OK, I'll bite what's wrong sugar cube?" Don looked over to Applejack, "Well I would tell you but I think it's up to Rainbow Dash." Pinky Pie and Applejack both looked to Rainbow Dash between them. Rainbow Dash stood up on Don's chest she whipped her face off, "It's nothing... I'm just really happy to see Don!" "Now... Let's race!" Rainbow Dash flew back over to the starting line. Applejack and Pinky Pie laid across Don's chest, all three of them starred as Rainbow flew away. "Well that didn't seem to convincing to me, how about you Pinky!" Applejack looked over to Pinky Pie. Pinky Pie shook her head in agreement, then both of the fillies stood up and eye'd Don. Don just lied there with his hands behind his head, "Umm... Not that you two are hurting me, but why are standing on top of me?" Applejack looked around to the frighteningly transparent clouds. "Cuz if we can't walk on or stand on clouds!" "What?" "Oh no wait, that makes since your both earth ponies so you have no magical abilities, you have no pegasus wings although pegasi are magical too, just not as magical as unicorns." "Fine, I'll give you too a gift cherish it well!" Don touched Applejack and Pinky Pie on the noses." Black static sparked around there hooves. "OK go on you two take a dive show me how much you trust me jump onto the clouds at my word." "Oh Don I trust you, you've never given me a reason not too." Applejack gulped heavily, she closed her eyes she was about to jump when she heard Pinky Pie bouncing around. Applejack opened her eyes and turned to see Pinky Pie bouncing around on top of the clouds. "Pinky Pie will you be quiet I'm trying to take a leap of faith here!" "Oh OK I'm sorry Applejack!" Pinky Pie sat down in clouds awaiting Applejack's first step. I starred at Applejack waiting to see if she was going to realize, I tried to contain my laughter it escaped me in slight chuckles. "Hey what's so funny you be quiet too!" finally Applejack realized it her eyes widened. I through Applejack off of me, me and Pinky Pie burst out into extremely painful laughter we rolled around on the ground. Applejack stood up on the the cloud she felt wobbly, "Yeah, yeah laugh it off, real funny!" After all of the laughing Applejack and Pinky Pie got back into there weird flying thingy with wings like a bird. I took my place at the starting line. A referee stood on a small cloud hovering above the one we all where on. The referee was like the golden goose except in this case the god that was the only pony to start the race without him, we would all surely die a horrible painful tragic death. I sat down on the edge of the starting line. "This should be interesting!" Boarders of Equestria Marrie lied down on a cloud relaxing about to fall asleep. "I can't believe Don, all of that power, yet he still needed my help!" "Hmm... I wonder?" End of Chapter 19
