//------------------------------// // Revenge Ending: Bloody Hooves: Chapter 30: Mighty Fall // Story: Blank // by GameMakingOtaku //------------------------------// Revenge Ending: Bloody Hooves Chapter 30 Mighty Fall Inn woke up again. It had to be several hours later this time. She looked at the sun set. She knew she had to start leaving. As she staggered to her hooves, she looked at the bloody mess in front of her. Should she go and destroy his stuff too? Hurt and tired, Inn started to fly to Canterlot, mostly do to how bad her legs still felt. ============= Luna watches as Inn leaves her chambers. Was that threat for real? Can she really not say anything about Inn's plans? She waits for Inn to turn down the hallway. Now's her chance, she will see if she can tell a guard. “Guard... doing good... keep it up.” “Ah, thank you your majesty.” Nope. Nothing. She goes to set the moon... wait... magic! What can she do with magic? She levitates a book, she lets it follow her to the balcony. She watches as she lowers the moon. She tries to change into a cloud. Nothing. She tries to multiply. Nothing. It looks as though she has the basics for her normal life and that's it. “How did I let this happen?” asked Luna, as if talking to the moon would help. “Let what happen?” asked Tia. Luna jumped as she wasn't expecting her sister to be at the balcony just yet. “Oh, ah, I haven't read this book for the past few weeks now.” Still, nothing. That is some spell, it may be a class S. Can Inn really hold it for a day? “Oh, well then, I guess you should start reading it then,” said Tia with a big smile on her face. “Heh he, ya... I should.” ============= The two sisters were eating, and all Luna could do was look at the clock. She would take a bite every few minutes or so. “What's wrong Luna, aren't you going to eat?” asked Tia “Oh, ah... yes. Sorry, I just have a lot on my mind.” Luna changed her focus to her sister instead of the clock. “Waiting on something?” asked Tia slyly. “What?! No! Just lost in thought,” defended Luna, still unable to control her own words. Tia looked curiously at Luna. “You can tell me. Is there a lover in your new life? Are you planning a surprise?” “I don't want to say.” Darn, can't say 'can't.' “Oh why not lil' Lu? I can keep a secret. If it's something for me, then I can act shock when you show me.” Tia wouldn't drop it... like normal. “I will prefer to keep it to my self for now.” Luna made a funny shift in her posture as she said this. So, the spell goes as far as to include body language. There was no escape, was there? “You don't talk to me like this. You don't resist like this. What's going on? Luna... are you being controlled?” Tia looked worried. “No Tia. You're just not on your game to day.” Come on Tia, try what I think you're going to. “If you are being controlled to not say something, say orange.” Yes! “Hah ha, Tia I'm fine. Really. Your are just not all here today, that's all.” NO! “Oh, by the way, banana,” said Luna as she continued to eat. Nonono no NO! This is truly a S rank spell. Inn's good. ============= Luna and Tia were having another meal together. Again like the last two, Luna does more watching of the clock than eating. “Okay Luna, what's going on? You've got me worried.” Tia had finished her dinner and was looking at Luna's almost full plate. “Nothing. I'll be going soon though.” The clock was about the hit he twenty-four hour mark from when Inn said she would be back. Just another twenty more minutes. Luna starts to down her food. “Go where? Can I come?” “Yea, why not?” They walked down the halls. They were about to go inside the conference room when, Tia spoke up. “What is this all about? Why aren't you trusting me?” “He he, who said I wasn't trusting you? You're coming with me right? I'm not stopping you.” “Then why aren't you-?” “Just sit and wait at least five more minutes. It's going to be clear soon.” Even now. She wasn't kidding, Inn can really hold this spell for the whole day. Another seven minutes pass. “What are we waiting for?” Just after Tia asked this, a thing of light filled the room and passed by quickly. “Was that it?” Luna looked shock herself. “No not really, but I guess that was her. She's late.” “Who?” Why fight it any longer? “You'll see soon Tia. You'll see.” Tia just sat there staring at Luna, hoping that she would give an answer. ============= As Inn walked through town, many ponies looked in horror. Inn was covered in blood. Only little patches of white that were mostly where on her right side, the didn't lay in the pool of blood. She flew steadily to the castle, but when she was close, she found it necessary to walk instead. Inn saw a guard getting close to her. “Halt! You-” the guard was interrupted by the sensation of being projected. Inn wasn't in the mood to deal with random interruptions. She just wanted this over with. A bubble of light followed the guard, but was faster than him. The bubble was so massive, it engulfed all of Canterlot and then some. Inn walked her merry little way up to the room that she has come to know so well after all this time now. She saw many guards, but none did anything. She enters the room, closing the door behind her. Princesses Celestia and Luna were waiting for her on their thrones. Princess Celestia turns her head from Luna to see Inn, a bloody, wobbly, coughing mess. “What is this? Luna is this why we are here? Say something now! One of you!” Inn got to the center of the room and sat down. “So Luna... you can... see what my (cough) fun was. Do you want to do anything. I'll take it.” Inn coughs a few more times before Luna responds. Everypony, with the exception of the guards, looking at the splatter of blood that came out at the end. “Yes... I can see. Was it worth it? By the way, can I ask about what you are doing now?” asked Luna, who's eye was drawn to the lit horn. “What is going on? Answer me!” demanded Celestia. Inn was getting to have a hard time sitting. “It's nun of your (COUGH)(cough)(cough~)(cough)... business Luna. You are free though. And Celestia dear, (cough)(cough) there is too much to say for now. The most (COUGH) important thing for now... is that... I killed my killer to stop (COUGH)(COUGH)(cough)(cough)(COUGH~)... him from killing.” “What?!” “Please Tia.” “Wh-what?!” Princess Celestia was stunned, Luna doesn't speak like that to her. In her attempt to think things through, she looks at random points in the room to help clear her head. Then she sees something, the guards. They weren't reacting to anything going on in the room. Why? Why did Inn close the door on her way inside. “Inn, what is wrong with you? What happened?” asked Luna. “I tried to (cough) play with (cough)(COUGH)(cough) with him. He's strong.” Princess Celestia noticed that Inn's horn was flowing with magic, in a unstable fashion. Every so often, an extended pulse would shoot through. This was telling the princess that Inn was having a hard time with the spell, and that it was massive. “Inn... you-” “Inn, are you doing something to my guards?!” asked Princess Celestia. “Heh heh he, (cough)(cough)... no. Well... not exac- (COUGH)(COUGH)(COUGH)... exactly. More us and... what we... do.” as Inn coughed, the opposite of what Princess Celestia saw happened. There was small surges of the light that seemed to dip to the horn, not from the horn. Soon after Inn finished what she was saying, she saw blackness. She fell forward into a small puddle of her blood. The horn on her head stopped glowing, and shocked guards came to see what the buck was going on. ============= Twilight Sparkle was just about to leave to see Inn. Just as she opened her door though, there was a yellow pegasus friend fixing to enter. Fluttershy was shaking. “What's up Fluttershy? Why are you shaking so much?” “Oh, ah, Inn... I think she's gotten worse. She's ah, scary now.” Fluttershy lowered her head to try hiding it in her mane. “Oh Fluttershy, how can she be that bad?” asked Twilight, not giving the idea any real thought. “No, it's true. She had two horns. She left the inn unattended, saying something about going to have some fun today... She still didn't sound like herself. She didn't stutter at all.” “Oookay, that does sound worse. So, do you know where she is? Maybe I can help her.” A Shiver went down Twilight's spine as she remembered the last time she went looking for Inn when she wasn't in Inn inn. “No, she just ran off. She had me watch the inn for about three hours, then payed me over nine thousand bits for it. As soon as she did, she was about to leave when I started to ask question, and... well you know.” “Okay thanks Fluttershy. I'll see if she's at the hut then.” ============= Twilight makes her way to the hut, trying not to draw the attention of the monsters. She sees a note before she enters though. She reads it. To my friends, I am sorry to say, I am most likely not coming back. It's not you, but me. You see, I died, over thirty years ago. Murdered by an evil pony who kills with no regard for what he does. This is what has been on my mind. I have seen my death for a few weeks now. Seen him kill others as I was dead. Don't ask how, it's a long story. I am going to stop him, but I don't know what will happen after. Do know that I will always think of you if I never come back. Please don't forget me. Good bye, Inn A swirl of emotions hit Twilight Sparkle. She was mad, sad, confused, worried, and just wanting to try and help Inn with whatever she could. She looked around, hoping to find a way to see where Inn has gone. It was useless. Inn was gone. Twilight walk back home slowly, sad that she didn't even get to say goodbye. ============= Twilight Sparkle gets home to see Spike cleaning. She slowly walks to her table. “Oph, you don't look so good Twi. Are you okay?” asked the helpful assistant. “I didn't get to say goodbye to a friend who left for an indeterminate time.” “What?” he asked, sounded more confused by indeterminate. “Unknown. She may not ever come back.” The depression was clear in Twilight's voice. “Wait, who left?! Please don't say Rarity!” “No, not h-” “Was it Fluttershy. Is she becoming a hermit or something?” “No, i-” “Wait, it's got to be Rainbow Dash! She's joined the Wonderbolts right? That's Great!” “NO! It's the white pony Inn.” Twilight Sparkle was getting frustrated by this and tried to say who it was a fast as she could. “That white monster pony?” “Yes her.” “Well I'm glad she's gone. She did nothing but scare me.” ============= Twilight was sulking over not being able to see her friend before she left. There wasn't even any idea on how long, if at all, Inn would be back. She was just sitting in her room waiting for lunch. She didn't have anything to do, and now she had a new thing to think of, regardless of how sad. “I got it!” she said to herself. She went down stairs to Spike. “Spike, take a letter.” “What?” he asked, scratching his head in confusion. “Take a letter.” “Is this really the time? We're about to eat.” he protested. “It will go by fast, just do it and then we can eat.” “Fine.” He grabs a scroll and quill. “Ready.” “Dear Princess Celestia, I have... not quite understood what I learned this week. It seems a little conflicting to me. Trying to make a friend say what is on their mind may close them off. This can make them think that there is no pony that can be trusted. I also learned that it is not good to keep things to yourself. You should tell at least one pony about what is going on, or else it may result in bad decisions later. Sincerely, Twilight Sparkle“ “Okay, got it. Can we eat now?” “Send it and then we can eat.” ============= A few hours later. A burp of green fire brings out a letter. “To my Faithful Student Twilight, What friend taught your this lesson? Let me know as soon as you can. Celestia” ============= Inn woke up with a mask on her face. She is lost on where she is. Trying to sit up, she notices some pain going down the middle of her back, and something around most of her body. She looks around trying to see was she can. Inn sees a machine that was helping her breath. She was on a bed, bandaged. Most importantly, There was bars on one side of the walls. Inn was in prison. She could hear some hoof steps coming her way. Was it a guard? Was it the princesses? The nurse? Inn just hoped that it wasn't her friends. She didn't want them to see her in this place. Luna stood at the cell door with the nurse. “So how much longer?” asked Luna. “It's hard to say. We didn't even think she would live. She still may not.” “S-so, what's my sentence?” asked Inn. “Well I guess she's up now. You have a fifteen year sentence. Tia has drained you of most your magic, and now she is overwhelmed and tired at the same time by the power. You weren’t lying, you are overflowing with magic. I hope nothing really bad happens sometime soon, we won't be able to handle it right now with just me.” ============= Inn sat in her prison for three weeks. Only needing to let some small bits of her internal injuries heal up. Something happened to day though. Something odd. The walls turned into water, the floor into sand, and the bars candy canes. Was Luna trying to let Inn out early? Oh well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth right? She started to eat the bars. “Capillary soop?” What was this? Oh well, Inn just continued to eat her way through the bars. She got out and walked around town. Nothing looked right as Inn walk around the city. The houses were paper thin. The clouds where pink. Many ponies didn't act right ether. Inn wanders, puzzled by it all. She finds what looks like the road to Ponyville, and follows it. As she is almost there, she hears a voice behind her. “Found you.” A sharp feeling in her back was felt. Followed by a sensation of a cold fluid entering her vanes. She blacks out. ============= “Wake up. It’s a new day, time to get up!” said Moonstone, as he was trying to Inn shake awake. Inn slowly got up. She looked around and saw all the metal... she knew where she was. It wasn’t all a dream after all. She felt a little stiff all over. She thought the floor must be rough to make her feel so bad after only one night. She saw Moonstone and got frightened, he looked different. Inn tried to shake this off as a possible thing that Moonstone can do, change his fur patches. “Oh, my...” she began, trying to think of a body part to start complaining about first. “Oh, was the floor rough on you? Maybe you should've taken the table.” “I s-slept okay. It wasn’t tha-” began Inn, only to fall face first to the floor. “-t bad.” She could not stand on her own. Moonstone laughs, “Look at that, you can’t stand. Do you want some help up stairs?” Inn looked down and blushed, “Y-yeah.” Moonstone lifted Inn onto his back and carried her to the kitchen table, he helped her into a seat, and went of to make some tea. This time when he was making tea, Inn noticed that there was more going on. Inn tried to turn her head to see what was the cause for the extra noise, but was quickly distracted by more popping from her neck.
