The Void Wolf

by Kurookumera


Chapter 4

It was a short an uneventful trip to the castle. Save for the gossip I heard from the passing ponies. Within minutes of stepping into Canterlot, the "Nobles" got on my nerves rather fast. Though I kept it to myself. Save for making some of them see their worst nightmare. Upon reaching the castle, the ponies I traveled with were immediately dismissed.

"You may go twilight. We have important matters to discuss with 52."

"Then I'll see you another time Princess." she said as she left.

Celestia's horn lit up and enveloped me in golden light. "I cast magic on you that would let you talk. I'd very much like to know your real name." Celestia said.

"Experiment 52."

"Is that really your name?" Luna asks.

"Yes." Luna looks at me with doubt. "It was what the scientists called me so it must be my name."

"You don't have any memory of a previous name?"

"No." Even though my eyes are closed I can see their expressions.

"Is it true you hurt a filly?" Celestia asked.

". . . Yes." Both the princess blinked at the same time.

"Then you must be destroyed." Luna said darkly

"Now surely there is another wa-" It went dark suddenly.

"______ wake up!" my eyes shoot wide open. It's bright and sunny.

Luna was surprised to see a lot of weird beings standing around and walking. There were some who wore white outfits and seemed like guards. She also saw wolf like creatures standing next to each guard. She saw that a majority of the wolves had orange eyes with few having blue. She watched as the wolves seem to converse in a language that everpony could understand since the two legs and wolves talked to each other. She saw a particular wolf wearing a moon crest necklace.

The wolves and two legs talked about various day to day things and the hardships of jobs. "So _____, why do you still wear that? They're gone aren't they?" For some reason Luna couldn't hear the names. They were always garbled.

"Because they were my partner and friend for a very long time. Whenever I wear it, it feels like they're here with me." The wolf said looking at the sky solemnly.

"You have to get over that. It was an accident. There was nothing you could have done. Besides, your next in line for evolving right? What do you have to be afraid of?"

"I'm scared of losing friends ____. I don't want that to ever happen again." The two wolves merged with another group.

Luna saw something coming over the horizon. A bunch of other wolves, They looked a lot like 52 did. She went closer to them and heard them plotting. They were going to destroy the town. She watched the events unfold. They charged up beams and the guards below started to move around. Though they obviously weren't sure what was happening.

"Something is wrong." A two leg says. "The readings are fluctuating!" Another says.

"So ___, do you think something is actually going to hap-" A sudden explosion occurs as a few two legs are sent flying. The ground violently shakes as more beams of light come down and cause explosions. Chaos erupts as guards, wolves, and regular two legs start dropping like flies. Luna couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was a war. It didn't take long for blood to start spilling.

Luna watched as the void wolves attacked. She was disgusted and outraged at their violent behaviors. The remaining guards and white wolves fought back. They fought back hard, and Luna watched as some of the black wolves fell, turning into black dust or goo. There was a particular white wolf doing a lot of damage. It was the one wearing the moon crest. They didn't stray far from her friend and two leg. Together they quickly thinned the wolves numbers.

Soon they were all gone. The three let out a sigh of release. "That was close. Right Au-" The wolf that was speaking got ran through with a white beam of light. The two leg turned only for the same to happen to it. The remaining wolf wearing the moon crest managed to dodge but still got hit by the beam. They bled and panted, they were already exhausted. More void wolves surrounded it.

Luna watched as it struggled for survival, tearing through the void wolves. Luna say another one approach its fallen friend which was wearing a golden earring. She watched as it seemed to take over the body. It then lunged at its former friend and pinned the white wolf to the floor. "___? W-what are you doing...?" The wolves voice was on the verge of breaking. She started to cry a little when her former friend started trying to kill her. With a sob the moon crest wolf bit into them, turning them to black dust. The wolf picked up their former friends earring and put it on.

Luna had enough of this and wanted to see who was 52. She looked towards a void wolf that had midnight blue eyes and made everything that wasn't 52 disappear. Except, that wolf also disappeared. Luna looked around confused and saw that only the white wolf remained. Its tearful eyes filled with determination. Luna couldn't believe this. Luna exited the dream.

"Sister. I... I don't know what to say. But I think we should give her another chance."

Celestia nodded. "So her background was good? Also was it necessary to say that before putting her into a dream sequence dear sister?"

"I'm not sure about her background. But she seemed like a good...wolf back then. As for the other question, I just wanted to tease them a bit." They both look back at 52 who is still out cold. She was sleeping peacefully.
