Shadow Darkwing

by Bro-Pony


waking up

Earlier that day
Luna’s POV:
“That was an unusual encounter last night; the mysterious Alicorn is now my new best friend’’ I thought to myself as I was flying towards my castle to tell my sister what I had discovered.
It was still dark outside; it will be dark for another hour or so before my sister raises the sun.
“Princess” the night guard greeted as he kneeled before me.
“At ease.” I said as I walked past him and the other night watchmen who were also kneeling.
“How was your flight?” kirk, the head night guard said as he followed behind me.
“It was relaxing, in fact I have a “Best friend” now” I said trying out the new word.
“That’s excellent, but you should really alert us before storming out, we don’t want something bad to happen.” He said with concern in his eyes.
“I can handle myself, after all, I did survive 1000 years on the moon alone.” I said trying to make him relax; it was apparent to me, and everyone else, that Kirk had a crush on me.
“Yes, of course Luna.” He said
“Princess Luna” I corrected him.
“Yes of course, sorry Princess Luna.” He said stumbling over his words a little realizing his mistake.
“It’s ok kirk.” I said as I walked towards my throne.
“You’re up late sister.” I heard come behind me
“Yes, and you’re up early.” I said back to her not bothering to turn around.
“How was your midnight flight?” she asked as she walked towards her throne.
“It was relaxing, I even found out some more about this mysterious Alicorn.” I said
“That’s great what did you find out about him?” she asked curiously but didn’t show it in her facial expression to remain professional in front of the castle workers and guards.
“Well, he has no memories other than the last 4 days that he has been here in Equstria.”I said
“I see, what was his cutie mark? Was it a royal crest?” she asked.
“Strangely enough, he didn’t seem to have one, I didn’t ask about it though.” I said
“Well how long where you with him? Did he seem dangerous?” She asked getting a little impatient with me.
“It doesn’t matter how long I was with him, and no, he doesn’t seem dangerous; I don’t appreciate you interrogating me.” I said feeling angry with how she was treating me.
“Ok, your right sister, I shouldn’t be treating you like a filly, I’m sorry.” She said with sorry eyes.
“It’s ok” I said frustratingly.
Present time:
My POV:
I woke up and saw that I was in a white room, my whole body felt broken and sore.
“He’s awake!” I heard a voice say
“Thank Celestia!” I heard another voice say, both voices seemed as if the where crying.
“I knew you’d wake up! I just knew it!” said the first voice
I then looked to see that it was Twilight and Apple jack, I then herd,
“Everypony come in quick! He’s awake!”
I saw Rarity, Pinki Pie, Rainbow Dash, Flutter Shy, Spike, Big Mac, The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Vinyl, and even Princess Luna was there.
“How are ya feeling sugar cube?” Apple Jack asked with a teary smile
“Broken” I replied with a small grin.
“Thank ya so much for saving my little sister!” She said as she hugged me.
“Ow” I said silently as I thought all m y ribs cracked at once as she hugged me
“No problem but please stop hugging me… I think you broke whatever wasn’t broken.” I said
“Oh sorry…” she said as she stopped hugging me.
I then felt three small sets of hoofs jump on me and begin to hug me.
“Thank you for saving us!” Apple Bloom said
“You are my hero” Sweetie bell said
“You’re as cool as Rainbow Dash!” Scootaloo screamed this mad Rainbow Dash blush a little.
“Thanks girls… but you’re hurting me.” I said trying to hold back tears as I smiled.
“Oh sorry.” They all said as they hopped off.
“You did good Shadow; Twilight said as she gave me a soft smile, you could tell she had ben crying.
“Eeyup” Big Mac said.
“Thanks everypony.” I said
“I think we should all let Shadow get some rest, it has been a long 3 days for all of us.” Luna said.
“Wait, did you say three days?” I asked in concern.
“Ya, you’ve been out for three days, the doctors didn’t think you were going to wake up.” Apple Jack said.
“Wow, three days of non-stop sleeping… nope I’m getting up.” I said
“I don’t think that’s a good idea shadow.” Twilight said, “Like you said, you feel like your who;e body is broken… and well, it pretty much is.” She finished.
“She’s right darling, you need to rest.” Rarity said.
“Uhgg, I don’t want to stay in this hospital any longer though… it’s going to be boring…” I complained.
“Been there, done that.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Thanks Dash… That helps a lot…” I said sarcastically.
“Try reading.” She said.
“No thanks, I think I’m just going to try and get up.” I said as I slowly, and painfully, got out of the bed.
“Wow… That looked like it hurt.” Rainbow Dash said.
“Not…at…all.” I said through my teeth trying to ignore the pain and make sure no pony knew it hurt.
“If you ladies don’t mind, I’m going to go take a shower.” I said as I slowly walked into the shower.
“Ugh.., are you sure you don’t need help?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Ya, I bet you would like that.” I said as I closed the bathroom door behind me.
“No!” was Rainbow’s only response.
Everypony just looked at her as she blushed and walked backwards towards a corner out of everyponys way.
As I turned on the shower, I felt the nice warm water.
“Awww, that feels good.” I said to myself as I slowly cleaned myself trying not to hurt myself any worse.
After I finished cleaning myself, I tried to walk out of the shower.. Instead I fell and made a loud BANG sound.
“You ok in there?” Twilight asked.
“I fell…” I said painfully.
“Oh my goodness! Do you need Help?” She asked in a concerned voice
“No, I think I can just use magic to help myself.” I said
“Do you even know any magic?” She asked
“No” I said pitifully
“Just imagine something you want to happen and concentrate really hard… not everypony can use magic without spells though and I don’t have any on me so if you can’t do it I’m coming in to help you.” She said.
“Twi, I swear if you walk in here…” I yelled trailing off not sure on what I could threaten her with.
“You’ll what?” she asked sarcastically.
“Just hold on a minute!” I yelled
“Ok, I know I can do this!” I said to myself.
I started to concentrate on levitating my body, but my train of thought was gone when I saw a pony made of light appear in front of me.
“Remember me? Oh wait of course you won’t.” He said.
“You where the voice who tried to help me during the fight!” I said to him... Well more at him then to him.
“Correct, I’m going to help you fix yourself, and hopefully this will give you an idea of the power you have.” He said
“Ok “I said
“First think of why you want to do this, not how to do it.” He said
“But Twi said-“I was cut off
“I know what Twi said, and that works for normal magic but you are going to use a different type of magic. He said getting slightly frustrated.
“What kind of magic?” I asked
“All will be explained soon, but you must do as I say now if you want to avoid being embarrassed.” He said completely frustrated now.
“Ok” I said then thought about how I wanted to impress my friends with my magic by helping myself.
“Ok, now just close your eyes and embrace your magic.” He said, acting as if it was easy.
“Ok” I said as I did so, I felt the warm feeling then my horn did the glowing and sha-pow! My body was then raised up and I felt I weird feeling all throughout my body and just like nothing ever happened, I felt good as new.
“Good, you’re a quick learner, that will help you when it all goes down.” He said as he disappeared into nothing.
“Ok Shadow, that’s long enough, I’m coming in!” she said, but before she could get close to the door I opened it up and just strolled on out like nothing ever happened.
“Wow! You’re… your better…” she said as her jaw dropped surprised.
“Ya, I just used my magic like you said, thanks.” I said with a cocky grin.
“That’s amazing… I’ve never met anypony with that kind of magic…” Luna said as he trailed off.
“Ugh... thanks I guess.” I said as I started to leave the room.
“Where are you going?” Twilight asked.
“ I don’t know yet, but I feel like going for a flight.” I said as I looked out the window.
“Count me in!” Rainbow yelled.
“Ok, Race you to Sugarcube Corner?” I asked.
“You’re on!” She yelled, and we were off leaving the remainder of the ponies who stayed in awe of my power.
