The caverns stretched on for an eternity, running all the way under all of Equestria. Laughter, hysterical laughter broke the silence. "How the hell are you still living?!" SonicBoom yelled into the tunnels. "Fetch" was the reply he got. A sword flew through the air, making a reverberating Clang! as it hit the floor of the cavern. He peered into the diretion from which the sword was thrown. Light suddenly illuminated the cavern as torches were lit. Dreamer was in the only pathway that led forwards. "I said fetch." she said. SonicBoom floated there, giving her a look that he assured that he wouldn't fall for the trick. "Fuck, you are no fun anymore." she said, then chuckled. "How the fuck are you alive, let alone laughing?" he asked. "Simple, one of the hired Unicorns morphed himself into me, and took the hit." She said. She pulled a knife from her backpack. "This thing almost killed me, pity, it will be your end" she said and flung it at SonicBoom. It flew towards him, hit his left wing, and pinned him to the wall. "Now you will watch as I gut you." she cackled. A golden streak flew by Dreamer and her muzzle started to bleed. "Dont lay one fucking hoof on him." came a familiar voice. The golden streak cleared up into Fluttershy, holding the silver knife he had given her three days earlier. "Make me." Dreamer said. "Okay." was all she heard before two horizontal gashes appeared on her wings. "You bitch!" she screamed. "Look whe the fuck is talking." Fluttershy responded. "Fluttershy, free my wing." SonicBoom said, a plan forming. She took out the knife and flung it. "Disarmed." was what dreamer said before lunging at SonicBoom, but instead of stabbing him, her sword got stuck in the rock wall. SonicBoom flew towards the sword that had been thrown before the candles were lit. He picked it up. Lunged at Dreamer's head, the sword went through soundless, Blood already pouring from the wound. He removed the sword and it made a sickening slosh as it exited the wound. He felt around the head, no horn, even shadow illusion made things go invisible or change, but they were always there, and any transformation spell would have taken too long to complete. "It is actually ove-" SonicBoom got out before Fluttershy kissed him. After a while they unlocked muzzles and Fluttershy said "Thank you.". they both fell to the floor, exausted. "The nightmare is finally fucking over. Forever." he said and glansed at Dreamer's lifeless body, still stuck to the wall. "I think it would be a good time to go." Fluttershy said. "Yeah I guess." He agreed. Flying out of Mt. Magnus is tough, flying out with only one working wing is next to impossible. Fluttershy saw SonicBoom struggling to keep up. Eventually he collapsed and fell three hooves to the ground with a thud. Fluttershy landed soughtly next to him. "Hey, I heard something over there!" came a familiar voice. "Fluttershy, SonicBoom, Sco I found them!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Rainbow Dash attended to SonicBoom. "He isn't breathing!" she screamed. Fluttershy knocked Rainbow out of the way. "No, no, don't die on me damn it!" she yelled, half crying. He coughed up a little blood. "Flu-Fluttershy, did we do it?" he asked, half smiling. "Yes, we did it." she said, tears flowing freely. SonicBoom coughed up more blood, then his body went limp. He woke up in a soft bed, or walled bed. He could see stars out, nightime. Fluttershy's voice came up. "He had a great life, considering his mental issues. He saved me more than once. Showed me many things. He will be dearly missed." she started to cry. Who was she talking about? It hit him like a ton of bricks. Im dead. He got up and everyone gasped. "Wai-wha?" he said. Fluttershy tackled him. "You're alive!" she screamed. "Dont ever fucking do that to me again!" she said while hugging him. He was dressed in his cloak, "What day is it?" he asked. "It's been a week since Mt. Magnus." she choked out, in tears of joy.
