//------------------------------// // Fight (No Actual Violence) // Story: Hidden by Shadows // by Authora97 //------------------------------// Ten Minutes Before Authora Appeared Black Jay had been in the town all of two minutes. Ponies had already locked their front doors, everypony was inside hiding, fillies and colts were either at home or the schoolyard. The Mane 6, Spike, the Princesses, Flutterwing and Acorn all sat inside the library trying to figure out where to find Authora before it was too late. It wasn’t until Acorn looked out the window did she see Black Jay. “It’s him!” Acorn shouted. The group ran out of the library towards the alicorn. There was a long pause after they exited. Mostly just getting a reading on the opponent. After two minutes of waiting, somepony spoke. "Where's Authora?" Flutterwing asked him as she and Rainbow hovered over them. Jay gave them an evil deep throated laugh. "Oh dear Skylar. I think it's time we got rid of those pesky names you and your sisters created." Jay said. The ponies eyes' grew wide and they looked to Flutter and Acorn. "Flutterwing what is he talking about?” Twilight Sparkle asked the purple pegasus. “Nothing.” Flutterwing lied. Jay looked at her coly. “Oh but I think you do know Skylar." Jay said. "I think you do know but your pathetic mind still thinks you can trot anyway from here with these identities intact." Flutterwing looked back at her sister in alarm. Acorn ran up next to her sister. "Where's Authora you bastard!" Acorn yelled. "Megan, always such a little spitfire. Abigail did say you needed to control those swearing habits." Jay taunted. Acorn's nostrils flared at the mention of her sisters friendship with that thing. The others were definitely confused. "Abigail? Skylar? Megan?" Twilight asked. "Flutterwing who is he talking about?" "Nopony. I'm sure he's probably confused." Flutter again lied. Jay laughed again. More deep and evil than last time. "You haven't told them, have you?" Flutter and Acorn remained silent. "HA! How dare you call me evil when you have been lying to these ponies since Day 1!" "What's he talkin' bout Sugarcube?" The Bearer of Honesty asked the pegasus. "Nothing! I don't know who Skylar is!" Flutterwing yelled. "It seems the shoe is on the other foot Skylar. Now I have to be the storyteller against your lies." Jay exclaimed. Rainbow nearly flew into Jay's face. "They already told us about how you killed their Dad and have their mom captive!" Dash yelled. If it was possible, Jay's evil grin got eviler. "Abigail didn't tell you?" Skylar's sky blue eyes widened. "What did you do to Mom!" She yelled. "Nothing I won't be doing to you and Megan when I win." Jay taunted. "You bastard!" Megan yelled. Her eyes almost looked like they were on fire. "If Abigail didn't tell... well then I guess I should tell what happened to Mrs. Stream.” Jay began. “HEY!” All ponies turned to the mare that jumped in front of the fight. A raspberry colored pony with twigs, leaves and mud in her coffee brown mane. A cutiemark of a book with theatre symbols rested on her flank. Authora. “LEAVE THEM ALONE!” The teenage mare yelled. Everypony was silent. Authora was talking? Jay was the first to speak. "Abigail how did you escape the guards?" Authors gave a smug grin. "Next time don't give them a threat if they touch me." She grinned. Jay stared at his old friend angrily. The unicorn turned to her sisters and the group. "Go get the Elements. Those just might be the only thing that can help us." The two nodded and ran into the library. Rainbow flew to Authora. "Thora, who in tartartus is Abigail?" Rainbow asked her. Authora looked up at the pegasus. "I'll explain once we deal with. Put your Element on." Authora commanded. She then turned to the Princesses. "A pleasure to meet you Your Highness. I greatly wished to meet you under better terms. Luna, nice to see you again." The gracious Night Ruler nodded. "You as well Authora.” Authora stared back at the dark alicorn she once called a friend. “I won’t let you hurt my family.” She told him plainly. “Well then today is going to be a sad day for you Abigail.” Black Jay told her. Authora flared her nostrils, and charged. Three gallops later a portal with blue swirls appeared by her hooves and a strange creature popped out. The portal disappeared as the creature fell to the grass. Her skin was fairly tan, tar black hair curling down to her shoulder. Bright amber eyes that looked very confused. She wore a sparkly gray shirt with what Authora recognized as jeans. “Is this Equestria?” The creature asked. Everypony, too shocked and confused to even speak, nodded. “Do any of you know a pony named Raspberry Stardust?” The ponies’ heads shook. “Damn. Wrong leyline. I apologize if I interrupted something.” A portal appeared. “Just so you know I probably have nothing to do with what is going on here so, once again I apologize if I came in between some big fight. Morgan Spencer, just in case you wanted to know.” The creature jumped into the portal, making it vanish. Authora was the first to speak. “Okay, back to the fight.” This seemed to get everypony back on track. “Yeah,” Black Jay said, “Good idea Abigail.” Evil dripped from every word. Authora turned to Twilight. “I really need you to use those Elements...NOW!” Authora yelled. Twilight nodded, still a little freaked out about what just happened, turning to her five friends. Telling them to begin. “Are you sure about this?” Rarity asked. “It could be dangerous.” Authora nodded. “That bastard should’ve died a long time ago, it needs to be done.” The elements began to glow, making their respective ponies glow with it. The six ponies floated up. The lights from each element began to brighten. “You think these Elements can destroy me? Your own coven couldn’t destroy me Abby.” Black Jay told the pink unicorn. “I’m not planning to destroy you Black Jay.” Twilight’s eyes opened, they were glowing white. “I’m planning to save my friend.” A bright rainbow shot from the Mane 6’s group, swirling around aiming right at the alicorn. “Because I know he is inside there. And if this got rid of Nightmare Moon it can get rid of whatever controls you!” “AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Black Jay yelled as the rainbow and him collided.
