Darkfire Universe: Double Darkfire

The Aftermath

Darkfire's POV

I sit down in a chair across from the Doctor, Twilight, and Darkwing in the new library. A year ago, Twilight had to move the library because the collection was too big.The new library looked like any old library. "So," I say to the trio. "How are the girls doing?"

Darkwing looks at me with a sad gaze. "Applejack has come to terms with losing her brother, as I expected her to. The other girls are not doing so good. Fluttershy won't leave her cottage for anything, and Rarity cries whenever she thinks we're out of earshot, which sometimes we aren't. And Pinkie Pie won't leave her room either, but we think she's snapped. The Doctor is taking you and Applejack to see her tomorrow." I nod to this, agreeing to the task.

Twilight cuts in. "Now, could you tell us exactly what Destructo can do, you two?"

"Sure," I say to the librarian. "Let's explain this villain to them."

Darkwing nods and begins. Destructo is mentally ill, and thus, he is extremely dangerous." I recognize that line. It is from the database back in Master Heroes HQ on Earth. How does he still remember it after four years? I could barely remember it myself.

I cut in. "Now, for his powers. His main power is shooting energy beams from his palms. However, he can also suck the life force out of anypony through touch. When he does, he gains the powers and skills of the pony he absorbed the life energy from."

"He also has a grudge against the Master Heroes, our old group, for some reason he never explained. He..." Darkwing chokes up for a minute. "He killed all of the original three Master Heroes shortly after I- I mean we- joined the team. In a fit of rage, we killed him with one our Shadow Bolts."

"Now, I follow up, "he's back, and wants to make us suffer by killing our friends, then utterly destroying us. Is that all you needed to know?"

Twilight shakes her head. "We still need a plan for when Destructo comes back. Darkwing, tomorrow while the Doctor and Darkfire go to see Pinkie, bring Rainbow Dash and Nyx and meet me here."

Darkwing makes a thumbs-up with his wing. "Sure thing, Twi." He puts a hoof into the middle of the circle of chairs. The Doctor and Twilight put their hooves in, and look at me expectantly. I groan and put my hand in. We throw our hands/hooves up in the air and cheer. Darkwing and I leave the room and start heading to the cloud house where Rainbow Dash was watching the kids.
