Sorry for the wait but I think this will make up for it.
The dogs came into view out of the caverns and charged at the ponies. Revenant then charged into the dog leading into the pack kicking off him and pushing a couple of the other dogs back. The dogs stood for a moment dumb founded to see there charged stopped by a single opponent. Revenant took that moment to charge and kick off the fight.
“C’mon Twilight or we are going to miss all the fun.” Levia tugged at Twilight.
“Fun!? I don’t see how this is going to be fun.” Levia and Twilight then joined Revenant.
Levia utilized her small stature to zip through the dogs and create pandemonium amongst each other. Whenever one of them would get close to hitting her, she would use some of her ice magic stop them and create more havoc. Since she was fighting against larger opponents, she had to continuously be on the move and cause as much chaos within the group. Twilight was cautious throughout the whole fight. She would wait for when an opportunity would rise and then shoot magical bolts at the dogs. Anytime one would get close to attacking her, she would teleport either away or behind them and counterattack. On the other hand, Revenant was the center of the fray. He would strike at any dog aggressively and block and dodge any attack to the best of his capabilities. Sometimes he would charge right into the attack, rolling with it and striking back even harder at his attacker.
“This feeling, the joy it brings me,” Revenant thought to himself as he fought on. “The heat of battle, the fire of fighting, the flames of war, the joy that comes from it all is amazing.”
A couple of dogs tried using some lances to stab at Revenant but parried them away with his horn. They tried again but this time he riposte and disarmed the dogs.
“Primal instincts rise within us and take control. ‘Love thy neighbor’ how easily it is forgotten once the firefight of flesh begins. Flesh being bruised, bones being broken, muscles being torn, blood being spilled, a poetic dance of violence this is.”
Twilight had to teleport a couple of times to confuse one of her attackers before she bucked him and then shot a bolt of magic to send him flying. She had a moment to breathe and saw Revenant in the fray.
“Is he really in the middle of all that?” She then noticed a change in his expression. His eyes were that of a determined predator, and then she saw a dark smile across his face. “Is he…enjoying this?”
“I seem to be enjoying this, but still…I am not satiated. I need more and these dogs aren’t providing it. Power, I need more POWER!” Revenant though. Then he bucked at them violently and causing the dogs to be hesitant on attacking him. Revenant then noticed what was going on.
“Oh shit, I was…enjoying the fight. This isn’t good; I can’t succumb to this dark feeling. I need to control myself otherwise…”
“Revenant look out!” Twilight yelled cutting off his train of thought. She shot another bolt of magic at the dog that was going to pounce on him. Revenant was stunned that he left himself open like that.
Then another two more dogs charged at him. He was caught off guard and just took the impact and held them back.
“Revenant I’ll help you,” But Twilight was blocked by a dog and another surprised her and landed a successful blow. That sent her reeling back and made her lose her momentum of the fight. The two dogs took that change and kept her on the defense taking a couple hits.
“Twilight hang on!” Revenant strained as three more dogs joined there friends. Revenant broke his guard and moved out of the way to let the dogs get carried away by their own strength. He then ran over to Twilight to help her but ambushed and started to get surrounded. He started to take a bad beating from the group.
Levia saw and was going to aid him.
“Levia help Twilight out, I’ll be fine.” Revenant told Twilight.
Levia hesitated but decided to help Twilight. She used her ice magic blind the dogs and then let Twilight follow up with a buck to knock them down.
“Thanks Levia, now let’s help…” She couldn’t finish her statement when she Revenant. She just stood in horror at the beating he was taking.
He was getting bite, clawed, and pummeled but he kept throwing them off him. He wasn’t as aggressive as he was but he was still able to put up a fight. Then he was grabbed by his tail and was slammed into the wall and was tossed in Twilight’s direction. He groaned at the state he was in.
“Revenant stop let me handle this from here.” Twilight said to him. She thought to herself though how she was going to do it. It seemed hopeless when a bright flash happened and the dogs started to attack each other.
“Twilight, Revenant let’s go while we can.” Levia told the two. Revenant got up and then they ran away from the dogs.
“Why are they attacking each other all of a sudden?” Twilight asked Levia.
“I used a mix of illusion and ice magic to make them think I was right in front of them when really they were attacking their comrades. The ice part if to not only make it feel as though they hit me, but too weaken them. Enough me explaining though we need to hide.”
They decided to hide in a nearby crevice and let Levia use her magic to create an illusion of them running away. She coated the illusion with their scent so the dogs couldn’t sniff them out. The dogs then chased after the illusion. They waited for five minutes until there was no trace of them. They let out a sigh of relief that they made it out of the fight. Twilight had a couple of scratches from them; Levia seemed fine due to her small size, Revenant on the other hand wasn’t looking to well. He started to limp from his right rear leg, it hurt him to turn his head in a direction, and he was covered in scratches, a couple bites and bruises from the Diamond Dogs. Twilight couldn’t believe that when they first got attacked Revenant was able to fight that many dogs at once. For a unicorn he was pretty strong and had stamina. She thought that it was over for them when Revenant was getting bashed around and got slammed into the wall. When Levia said he wouldn’t give up, she wasn’t kidding. What baffled Twilight the most was that the whole time he never used any magic like she did. She knew he got it back, but couldn’t grasp why didn’t use any of it.
“Revenant, you don’t look good let me try to use some of my magic to help you,” Twilight said to him. She was amazed how he was still standing.
Twilight has been in a couple of fights with her friends when they had to save Ponyville but never seen a pony get thrashed like Revenant did and still stand.
“What was it that keeps on driving him?” she thought.
“I’ll be fine,” Revenant strained, “It looks like we’ve lost them. We need to find your friends so I’ll try and locate them and if we are close enough you should use a teleportation spell to regroup.”
“REVENANT!” Levia exclaimed, “You’re severely injured, just look at yourself! You’re limping around, it hurts for you to even look somewhere, and you look like you could pass out. Stop being thick headed and let Twilight help you.”
“Alright, with you scolding me I don’t think I would be able to pass out,” Revenant said trying to bring some humor into the situation.
“Okay this shouldn’t take long. I’m going to start now.” Twilight said and then began to use what healing spells she knew.
Revenant could feel her magic healing his injuries. He felt how warm, soft, and gentle her magic was and even though it was minimal healing magic, it was very soothing to him. It was so soothing that it felt that he could just pass out.
“Revenant, hang in there and stay with us,” Twilight said continuing her spell. Levia proceeded to give him another cold shot of her magic to keep him up.
“I’m fine, I’m fine. Jeez Levia, I wonder now if you really are concerned about me,” Revenant joked.
“Nah I just decided to go through all this trouble just to give you a hard time,” Levia said while giving him another shot of ice magic. Twilight couldn’t help but giggle at Levia’s antics.
“So I take laughing at my pain means you’re no longer worried,”
“No not at all. I’m done with my spell now, how do you feel?” Twilight asked.
“Feeling better now, I’ll see if I can track your friends with some of my magic.”
Revenant couldn’t really tell Twilight that her healing spell only helped out his bite wounds and some of the bruising, he still felt pretty bad but better than before so he was grateful for that. He then concentrated and searched for Twilight’s friends. He detected a lot of the Diamond Dogs, and only five ponies that weren’t near any of the dogs but were moving fast.
“I take it you have five other friends?”
“Yes, did you find them, are they okay?”
“Yes and yes. Did Levia teach you telepathy?”
“Don’t worry Rev, I taught them all the basics. Twilight here was able to pick up on it pretty quickly, she’s got a natural talent for magic you know,” Levia praising herself and Twilight.
“I take it that is what your cutie mark is about Twilight”
“Yes as Levia said I’m a natural with magic as well as the Element of Magic. The big star is the symbol of magic and my capabilities while the smaller stars represent my love for stargazing, but it’s nothing to brag about.”
“Like they say, a dog’s bite is worse than his bark,” Revenant said while looking at his bites.
“I think you know that from firsthand experience,” Twilight joking with Revenant.
“Now we’ve got Twilight joking around. I think our humor is contagious don’t you think Rev?” Levia asked.
“I guess besides all these jokes are making feel pretty good so Twilight I’ll where your friends are through telepathy and then we can go,”
“You ponies aren’t going anywhere!” a voice calling from the dark.
The unicorns turn to see where they heard the voice come from to see four dogs emerging from the dark. Three of them were wearing jackets and studded collars while the fourth one was wearing armor and a jet black pendant. Revenant seemed unease at the sight of the pendant.
“Do you ponies think that you would get away from us,” the red jacket dog said, “Now hand over the weather element!”
“What do you want with the weather element, you guys are jewel thieves not artifact thieves,” Twilight responded.
“We don’t need to tell you, now hand it over or your friends will be in major trouble.” The red jacket dog said. Twilight looked at Revenant with worry that if what he told her about the others being fine was true.
“Nice little bluff but we know the others are fine,” Revenant calling them out, “You don’t look like rest of the pack, mind telling us who you guys are?”
“Heh, why not. I am Rover, the small one in the brown jacket is Spot, the large one is Fido, and our armored one is Shadow.” Rover, the red jacket wearing dog, explained.
“Well now that we are all acquainted, why don’t you guys back off before we sending you running with your tails between your legs,” Revenant calling them out.
“Revenant, are you trying to pick a fight with them!?” Twilight said trying to stop Revenant.
Twilight then saw an image of her friends together searching for Twilight and Levia. She can see that there were no dogs near them and that they were safe.
“I would suggest teleporting us to your friends while I delay them.” Revenant said telepathically to Twilight.
“Watch what you say there blue boy, there are four of us and two of you,” Spot responding to Revenant’s insult.
“Hey there are three of us!” Levia exclaimed trying to make her presence known.
“Who said that, I only see two ponies?” Fido asked.
“I did, Spot. You best be paying attention to me otherwise you’ll regret it,” Levia said flying up to Fido’s face.
“But I’m Fido,”
“Meh whatever,” Levia said and then proceeded to give an icy flick to Fido’s nose.
“Okay we’re done messing around, let’s get ‘em boys,” Rover commanded.
“Twilight now!” Revenant said to Twilight.
Twilight’s horn glowed and was about to teleport all three of them but then a dark magic surrounded her horn and stopped her from teleporting. Twilight then collapsed from the pain.
“Twilight what happened?” Levia asked flying over to Twilight, “Talk to me, are you okay?”
“I don’t know Levia. I was going to teleport us but then I felt an ominous presence and then this agonizing pain,” Twilight said while staying down, “I don’t feel too well. My body feels too heavy to lift itself back up.”
Revenant knew the signs of why Twilight’s spell failed and why she felt weak. He ran over to her and took a defensive stance still facing the Diamond Dogs. He had to delay the dogs long enough for Twilight to recover and teleport them out of there, but this time was different. These dogs seemed intelligent, but the three in the vests didn’t look as intimidating as the others. What really had Revenant on the edge was the armored dog, because of the pendant. Just as he thought, an abyssal pendant, and a game changer to any fight. He had to be careful with this fight and come up with a plan.
“Hahahaha, I bet you didn’t expect that to happen now did you,” cackled Rover, “Looks like we’ll get some use out of this after all. Now let’s get ‘em.” Then the four dogs charged.
Fighting four enemies at once wasn’t really an issue for Revenant, but defending somepony was going to be an issue. When fighting the other dogs, he just jumped into the fray and fought. This time he couldn’t afford to lose any ground. Spot and Fido were the first to attack. Spot came in with a low tackle while Fido jumped to drop on them. Revenant charged into Spot, getting him out of the way, and then quickly bucked Fido in the jaw. A sharp pain shot through Revenant, realizing that he was still injured from the last fight.
“No, I will not let up. I have to keep fighting,” Revenant reminded himself.
Shadow ran up to Revenant and tried to crush him with a hammer fist (er paw), but Revenant slide under him kicked out his legs, forcing Shadow to collapse. Rover saw the opportunity and clawed at Revenant. Revenant was about to dodge, when Rover faked him out.
“Shit, he wanted me to do that.”
Rover weaved to Revenants blindside and gave him a couple of jabs and then pounced on him. He then bit at Revenant’s wounds while putting pressure on his neck. Revenant thrashed to throw him off, but Rover would then try to bite his face and kept punching him in his sides. The other dogs started to charge to join Rover, but then were blinded by burst of light.
“Now it’s my turn to take you pups on,” Levia said floating between them.
“Pups!?” Spot responded bitterly, “Oh we’ll make you pay you little insect.”
Out of all things you do is not to call Levia an insect. She charged at Spots face while encasing herself in ice with her magic to add more power. She collided right between Spot’s eyes forcing him to yelp in pain.
“Don’t you ever call me an INSECT!”
“Then how about a fairy,” Fido said swiping his paws at Levia.
“That’s much better,” Levia said while dodging Fido’s attacks.
Fido was getting frustrated and tried to crush the ponysprite but failed. Shadow tried to chomp Levia, but she dodged it and bit Fido’s paw instead. Fido yelped in pain and turned to Shadow.
“Why are you biting me for, bite her,” Fido scolding Shadow.
“Sorry boss, I’ll just crush her instead.” Shadow responded.
Both dogs tried to crush Levia, but her small size played to her advantage and just kept dodging while hitting them with a couple ice bolts when she could. Spot began to regain his composure and went into the fray.
“Both of you, stop swinging aimlessly and try to work together otherwise you will,” Spot was cut-off when Levia stopped on top of Spot’s head.
“Come on boys, I’m right here. I’m all tired out so you should be able to hit me now,” Levia played at Fido and Shadow. Both of them just grinned and took a swing at the ponysprite.
“Wait you idiots you are going,” Spot was then clocked by both his larger friends dazing him badly, “to…hit….me.” Spot then blacked out. Both the dogs were wondering where Levia went.
“Oh sorry that was just an illusion. I’m actually right here.” Levia said popping on top of Fido’s head.
Fido then caught the ponysprite in both his paws and started to tighten his grip. He couldn’t feel much so he started to apply more pressure. Fido kept applying pressure until he felt a sharp frozen feeling in his paws. He opened up his paws to see them frozen and Levia in a frozen ball. The ball burst and sent ice shards into Fido’s paws forcing him to back off.
“Now it’s time for my Frost Knick Combo!” Levia shouted like some videogame character pulling off their signature move. Levia zipped in a figure eight in front of Fido’s face. Every couple zips she would shoot a couple of ice crystals onto Fido’s head from her horn until the ice crystals formed a target point. She then rode her momentum to crash into the target point, shattering it. Fido took a couple steps back before blacking out himself.
“Okay then Shadow, it’s just you and me,” Levia challenging Shadow. He accepted the offer and continued to fight.
Revenant continued to struggle with Rover until decided to fall on to his back. Rover gasped from the impact and loosened up his grip. Revenant took that chance to bash the back of his head against Rovers face, dazing him, and then getting up quickly running back to guard Twilight.
“Twilight I know you’re feeling awful but once you start feeling better, you need to teleport us out of here.”
“What if it happens again? I don’t know if I can,” Twilight responded nervously. Revenant could see she was traumatized from the pain.
“I know you’re scared but you have to do this for you friends,” Revenant reassured her.
“I….I can’t do it Rev,”Twilight began to tear up, “I don’t want to feel that pain again.”
Revenant saw she was broken. He knows not many could still want to fight after that much pain, even those that have been in a lot of fights. Revenant had to win this fight to help Twilight, despite his wounds.
“That pendant, where did you get it at?” Revenant asked Rover.
“What’s it to you pony?” Rover said as he plunged for Revenant.
Rover took a swipe at his legs but then weaved to clock him in the jaw. Revenant rolled with the blow to land a couple of hooks to Rover backing him off.
“Because I know it’s an abyssal pendant and where it comes from. So I ask again, where did you get it at?” Revenant asked. The two went at it again. Revenant was starting to pick up on Rover’s movements but he was getting slower. Rover ducked under one of Revenant’s bucks and pulled the legs Rev was using to balance to bring him down.
“What good will it do you? All that you need to know it’s that you can’t beat us as long as we have it.” Rover said as he kicked Revenant over to reveal his underside and then punched him hard in the gut. Revenant choked from the blow and was trying to get his wind back.
“Not a bad fight you put up there, so I will let you be… as for your friend over there,” Rover turned to Twilight. “I believe she has what we need. Shadow, stop playing around and end it already.”
“Yes sir,” Shadow then released the dark magic from the pendant.
The dark magic flew at Levia like lighting, not giving her anytime to react. Levia fell to the ground unable to move from the magic.
“No…I can’t lose,” Levia strained.
“Too bad little fairy, now I crush you,”
“Shadow, we have more important matters at hand,” Rover interrupted. He went up to Twilight and went through her saddlebags and retrieved the weather element.
“Now then, we’ll take you also for giving us such a hard time.”
“What?”
“Shadow, grab the purple one and let’s go. I’ll get the others up.” Rover commanded.
Shadow then went up and lifted Twilight over his should and began to follow Rover. Rover began to get Spot and Fido back on their paws. Revenant turned to see Levia trying to get back up to go help Twilight but she was weakened from the dark magic. Everything around him began to fade to black.
“Damn I can’t let it end like this.”
“REVENANT HELP ME!! PLEASE I BEG OF YOU!! REVENANT!!!!!!!!!!!!” Twilight screamed for aid.
Then everything around him became clear. He knew that he couldn’t give up because he had a reason to fight for. With what he had left he stood up and made what he could out of an aggressive stance to the Diamond Dogs.
“I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this, but these dogs are my enemies,” Revenant’s horn began to glow with power and started to heal his wounds. The dogs noticed what was going on and faced Revenant.
“Still want more huh. Spot, Fido get ‘em.” Rover commanded.
Spot and Fido charged again at Revenant. This time Fido led the charge to meet him with brute force and then Spot would follow up. Revenant calmly stood there as his attackers charged them. He then closed his eyes and relaxed his breathing. He imagined how the dogs would come in. Fido would charge as hard as he could to throw Revenant off his balance, then Spot would follow up with a pounce to bring him down while trying to regain his balance. It was a good plan for the two but Revenant knew how to handle it. Revenant opened his eyes to see them a couple feet in front of him. Fido lunged with all his strength while Spot began to round around Fido. Revenant then slide right behind them keeping his eyes on Twilight. Both the dogs were confused and decided to try again. As they neared him, Revenant sent some magic to his hooves and bucked them in the chest. He heard something crack and walked to Shadow and Rover while Spot and Fido lay in pain.
“What the, Shadow get them.”
Shadow dropped Twilight and used the abyssal pendant, but this time having the dark magic going inside him. Shadow then let out a roar and grew to where his armor broke off him. Shadow looked more feral with his teeth sharp and jagged, his fur standing, and the crazed look in his eyes. Revenant knew what was going to happen and got ready.
Shadow charged like a mad beast at Revenant and swung at him. Revenant read the attacks easily but had to react fast otherwise he’d get hit badly. Shadow then raised both paws above his head and smacked the ground. It shook the ground sending out some dark energy but Revenant moved out of the way. Revenant then took to the offense and used his magic to rocket himself at Shadow. He stopped in front of him and gave a serious of blows to his stomach. Shadow bent over in pain and was greeted with a hoof to his chin. Revenant was going to finish it when Shadow let out a howl that sent him back. Shadow howled once more but with dark energy lashing out at Revenant.
“Aaargh. I can’t let this stop me, I have to keep fighting for her sake,” Revenant said to himself. Levia started to get up to see the fight. She sat there to and was happy to see that Revenant had his fire back in him.
“Looks like you’re finally using soul magic. About time, I was wondering how long you were going to hold back.” Levia said to herself.
“I will use this power once more to punish you jewel thieves.” Revenant said to Shadow, his tone changed sternly to a commanding voice. A voice would dominate his foes into submission. His horn began to glow with intensity and began to form an extension. “Shadow of the Diamond Dogs, you are found guilty of theft, assault, and usage of forbidden arts. You and your group shall suffer the consequences of these actions.”
Revenants horn extension solidified into a sabre of pure soul magic. Rover stood there worried of the sudden rise of power within Revenant. Shadow then let out another howl of dark magic to lash at Revenant.
“Soul Divide!” Revenant said. He then slashed with his horn towards Shadow, dissipating the dark magic. A slash of soul magic ripped out of nowhere and destroyed the pendant, thus having Shadow revert to his normal self and passing out. “The guilty always pay the price.”
Rover was paralyzed at the sight of Revenant and the intent in his eyes. He saw a cold look in his eyes that pierced his very soul. Revenants looming presence made Rover feel like a fly trying to stand up to lion. Rover fell back and could only stare in fear.
“Now, hand over the weather element,” Revenant commanded.
Rover didn’t bother saying a word. He just tossed the weather element at him and coward for his life. Revenant used his magic to catch it and put it in his saddlebag. He calmed down and his horn returned to normal.
“Twilight, are you alright?” Revenant asked in his normal voice. Whatever surge of power that was in him now faded.
“I’m fine, thank you Revenant. I owe you,” Twilight said as Revenant helped her get back up.
“Don’t thank me. We still need to get out of here with your friends and return the element.” He pulled it out of his saddlebag and gave it to Twilight.
“I think it’s best if you hang on to it, especially after what you did back there.”
“No, because if anything was to happen to me it is important for you and your friends need to get out. Levia, are you okay?” Revenant asked turning his attention to Levia.
“A little dizzy, but I’ll live. Let’s go home now; I can use a hot shower about now.” Levia said as she stretched herself out.
“Well guess that means we’re done. Twilight can you teleport us now please?”
“I…I don’t know if I can. What if it happens again?” Twilight was still traumatized from the dark magic.
“Don’t worry; with the pendant destroyed you should be free to use your magic without any fear of the dark magic.” Revenant tried to reassure Twilight, but she still had fear and doubt in her face. “Look if it begins to happen again, I’ll take the pain instead of you.”
“What? But how will you?” Twilight questioned Revenant.
“Like this,” He then put his horn up against hers and let his magic flow into her horn. She felt his magic flow through. It felt as though he was embracing her and that he was her shield ready to defend her from any oncoming harm. She couldn’t help but blush from what she was feeling, “Do you trust me now?”
Twilight nodded, trying to hide her face, as a response.
“Then let’s get out of this miserable place!” Levia exclaimed, “Bye bye, Diamond Pups. Next time we meet, we will send you whimpering back home.”
With flash of her magic, Twilight teleported the three of them to the rest of her friends.
“Damn, the boss isn’t going to like this.” Rover muttered to himself.
Applejack, RainbowDash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy were running throughout the cavers searching for their missing friend. They lost track of how long they were searching for, but they had to keep searching knowing Twilight wouldn’t give up on them.
“Twilight, Twilight! Where the hay are ya?” Applejack called out into the cavers. The orange pony felt terrible of how the situation began to look hopeless.
“Rarity, can’t you use that telepathy thing to find her?” RainbowDash asked her friend.
“I’ve been trying this whole time, and I can’t find her. Celestia, I hope she’s okay.”
“Don’t worry girls, this is Twilight we are talking about here. I’m sure that she is already looking for us unless she ran into some of them dogs too. Oh that would be bad, but you think she would be fine. Then again Levia could be with her so she should be fine, although a ponysprite is small backup to have.” Pinkie trying to reassure the girls, but only got them more worried.
“Well we can’t just wait here wondering, I’m going to look up ahead.” RainbowDash said. Before she could take off, Applejack grabbed her tail to hold her back.
“Now hold on there, ya’ just can’t go flying off like that.”
“Then what am I supposed to do then?” RainbowDash questioned Applejack. AJ and the rest of the girls stood quietly trying to figure what to do, “I don’t know about you girls but I’m going up ahead. I can’t stand here waiting for her to pop up out of nowhere,” and then RainbowDash took off, but didn’t get far.
At that moment Twilight, Levia, and Revenant appeared in front of RainbowDash’s path of flight. She collided into Revenant and the two rolled onto the ground.
“What the hay? Who are you and where’s Twilight?” RainbowDash said pinning down Revenant. He was too exhausted from all the fighting to even struggle, “If you did anything to her I swear I’m going to buck you so hard that,”
“RainbowDash you’re okay,” Twilight said embracing her cyan friend.
“Twilight!? You’re okay,” RainbowDash said getting off Revenant and embracing her friend. The rest of the girls saw and ran to embrace her lost friend.
“Twilight, thank Celestia that you’re okay,” Rarity said. She then noticed how Twilight looked, “What happened to you? You look like a mess.”
“I’m fine Rarity, but Rev…”
“Nonsense just look at you. You’ve got several cuts over you, your coat is torn, your mane is messed up, and you’re covered in filth…”
“Rarity I’m fine!” Twilight said stopping Rarity from going on, “But Revenant is the one who is in need of help.”
The girls look over to the blue stallion struggling to get back on his hooves. They’re shocked to see a pony in his condition still trying to get up. Rarity nearly fainted from the sight of how much of a mess he was.
“I don’t need anyponies help right now. What is important is that you teleport us out of here again,” Revenant said walking over to Twilight. RainbowDash pushed him back and blocked his path.
“Just hold on there. Who are you and why are you bossing around Twilight like that?” RainbowDash persecuted Revenant.
“Now isn’t the time for me to explain myself. We need to get out of here while we have this moment.”
“You’re not going anywhere until you answer my questions then.”
“RainbowDash please stop.” Twilight begged her friend, “His name his Revenant Soul and he’s the one who saved me.”
“Saved you from what?” RainbowDash asked. The girls were shocked to hear what the stranger did for Twilight.
“That’s irrelevant right now. Twilight we need to get out of here now otherwise the dogs will be hot on our trail again.” Revenant insisted.
“Now hold on there, I’m sure we got some time to hear what you did for Twi here,” Applejack interjected. Then the group heard faint barking sounds coming from one of the caverns, “Or maybe not.”
“Damn, they’re already coming after us. Now would be a good time to leave.” Revenant directed to Twilight.
Twilight then began to use her teleportation spell but only sparks came out of her horn.
“I’m sorry everypony. I don’t think I can do it again with all of us.”
“I know you’re tired but you have to do this.” Revenant insisted.
“Hey leave her alone. If she’s tired then let her rest, besides we can handle a couple of dogs again.” RainbowDash snapped at Revenant.
“Then let me give you some of my strength.”
RainbowDash looked at Twilight if she should let him.
“Let him through RainbowDash, he’s only helped me to this point.” RainbowDash glared at Revenant for a moment and let him pass. He walked up to Twilight and put his horn on hers again.
“Now just do it like how you would and I’ll take care of the rest.” He assured Twilight.
Twilight started to use her teleportation spell and when she started to fail, Revenant did his part. He let his magic flow through her but instead of providing protection, he gave her power. She felt the magic within her similar to her when she first got her cutie mark. Twilight enveloped everypony in her magic and teleported them out of the caverns to the entrance.
Outside the cave, facing the airship
“Woohoo you did Twilight!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed.
The girls cheered to finally be out of the dark cave and see some sunlight. The snow around them was already melting away and they took off their coats to cool off. Everypony was cheering expect for Revenant.
“Revenant we got out so why aren’t you happy?” Levia asked her friend.
Revenant then walked over to see the land he was in. He just stood there captivated at the view. He could see the sun kissed the land as it was setting, the beauty of the forest below them, and the tranquility of town in the distance.
“So this is where I am now. It’s…….nice,” he said as let himself collapse to the ground. “Looks like I’m done now, at least I have a nice sunset to watch.”
“Revenant are you okay?” Twilight said running over to him.
“I’m just tired, that’s all. Besides I thought you were too tired to move that fast.”
“No it’s just that…you fell down and I needed to see if you were alright that’s all,” Twilight said trying to hide her blushing.
“Well to ease your worries I’m fine. *yawn* I just need to rest up.”
“Well then you can’t sleep on the ground silly. You could catch a cold or sleep walk of the mountain. That would be bad for that to happen wouldn’t it.” Pinkie Pie said popping out of nowhere.
“C’mon Revenant, let me get you to a bed for you to sleep in.” Twilight said offering to help. Revenant was hesitant to answer.
“Alright then.” Revenant answered. Twilight helped him up and offered her shoulder for him to lean on seeing of how hard it was for him to even get up. He took the offer and she was guiding him into the airship.
“Okay what’s going on here? Who is he, where did he come from, and what did Twilight mean ‘he saved me’?” Applejack asking everypony, but all had no answer.
“Also, why doesn’t he have his cutie mark by now?” RainbowDash added.
“As Twilight said earlier he is Revenant Soul, and he is one of my friends that we are looking for. He’s from the same land as I’m from and he helped Twilight escape from the Diamond Dogs. I will answer more of your questions but first let’s get in the airship,” Levia responding to Applejack’s questions. “But still that’s strange.”
“What is that he doesn’t have a cutie mark?” RainbowDash asked.
“Well that and Revenant isn’t really the type to accept help from others unless he really needs to.”
“Ah horseradish. You saw the shape he was in Levia. He definitely needed help, he can barely move on his own.” Applejack said.
“No that’s not it because I’ve seen him in worse shape and still get up without accepting anyponies help.”
“Don’t let it get to you sugarcube. Let’s just get in ourselves so we can go home.” Applejack reassured Levia. The girls followed Twilight and Revenant into the airship.
“Still, it’s rare when he’s like this,” Levia thought to herself. She then had a moment of clarity of what may be happening. “Revenant you wouldn’t be…” Her thoughts were cut-off when she noticed when his tail flicking in a familiar motion. She then knew what was developing and smiled.
Hopefully this chapter makes up for the delay. Been busy with work and all but still I make time for my readers. For an update moving soon, so I will have more time to work on story but updates will probably come later but I will try to push one out before the move and upload a couple when I move in. Don't worry, the Diamond Dogs ain't out yet, they have revenge to plan on.
