Darkness Rise Blink

by Infamous IF


A rising darkness...

Grim Shadow's POV
Ponyfeathers she was fast. I mean really fast. Probably the fastest young flyer In all of Equstria. My new partner In crime had finally been given her new power. Lightning Dust now Light Dash. She was so fast she could out fly... me! And I have artificial wings. And might makes right. I don't get It. Anyway, on to other business, raising the dead. I thought of different Ideas as I made my way to the graveyard.

Rainbow Dash's POV
As we stepped through the portal, It became apparent that this wasn't Equastria, It seemed more like Celstia's magical realm told In legend, (that I read In a Daring Do book), and took a dip In a can of oil. As the other ponies began to scan their surroundings, I took a few experimental steps to further study my surroundings.
"Twilight, are... are you sure, that this Is the right place?" Fluttershy asked In a... well In a Fluttershy way. As Twilight stared In awe at the Darkly magical place. Rarity noticed her awe struck gaze.
"Twilight, darling are you all right?" She said while nudging her shoulder as she walked past. The contact shot Twilight out of her trance.
"Oh right, sorry girls. I don't know what could have happened." She apologized.
I made my way through the strange new place. Looking around and through random portals. Until I came across the sight that gave me the biggest lump In my throat. I saw my parents. I tried to shout, to tell the others, but the previously mentioned lump In my throat was starting to take effect. Pinkie Pie was the first to notice my awe struck look through the gateway.
"Hey Dashie, are you alright?" She asked. Her words snapped me out of my trance.
"Yeah. Yeah I'm all right." I answered not daring to take my eyes off of the gateway. "Guys, get your flanks over here. I think I found It."
They quickly trotted over to the portal I stood by. All of them asking about what time It was on the other side of the doorway.
"I'm coming Mom and Dad."

Grim Shadow's POV
I stepped through the gate of the Ponyville cemetery with Enchanter close behind. We made our way to the singled out grave that had It's place rested atop the largest hill In the graveyard.
"You sure that THAT'S where they buried him?" Enchanter asked, puzzled.
I turned my head slightly to an almost 360 turn, and smiled.
"If I'm good at finding people, It's when there dead." I said with a smile.
"Oh." He said surprised. "Well excuse me for being an Idiot." He phrased sarcastically.
We made our way towards the upper site, taking larger steps up the larger hill. After a few minutes of climbing, we found the grave, the grave of Light Shield.

Rainbow Dash's POV
"We're going through." I stated.
"No, we're not!" Twilight said as she sent me a stare that had the same look as the words she had said. "Noponies going In there. We don't even know If It's the right portal, they might not even be Dash's parents." I shot up to her face.
"Are saying that I don't know my own parents?" I questioned with the highest amount of anger I could muster. Her response was a shamed look towards herself.
"Your right Dash." She reassured.
"I am? I mean, I Am!" I exclaimed.
"I guess we can't really know until we try." Fluttershy said with more confidence than I thought she had.
"And besides Twilight," Applejack continually agreed, "If It don't work, we can just use some 'o them there unicorn magic."
"No, no. I get, your right. Let's go." Twilight finished as she began towards the portal.

Grim Shadow's POV
We stood at the recently emptied grave awkwardly. The body was surprisingly composed well. No stereotypical patches of fur and flesh missing from the body. Well In all honesty It was buried only a few weeks ago, four to be exact.
"So..." I trailed off.
"So what?" He retorted.
"You know. Do your Ponystein thing." I answered.
"It's not-"
"I don't care what It Is just do It!" I yelled.
"Fine." He folded. Little did I know that we weren't the only ponies In that yard.
"Brim Shade!" I heard a familiar voice call out. I turned to the source of the sound.
Dark Shield.
"Sup dude?" I asked casually. I quickly motioned for Enchanter to get to work.
"Don't you dare give me that! What are you doing at my brothers grave?" He demanded to know.
"Let me come over." I shouted. I slowly expanded my large metallic wings for flight. Then slowly glided down the hill towards him.
"Don't make me ask again!" He ordered.
"Just paying our respects to your very dead and very solitary bro." I said teasingly. After my words left my mouth, I could almost feel him mentally murder me.
"No, that's what I'm doing. What are you doing?" He repeated.
"Oh just... What did you call It again? Digging up the past?" I came out, If It was a fight he wanted, It was a fight he'd get.
Before he could make a lunge for my throat, a loud sound of a mixture of a metal ripping and a giant suction vacuum. As I my eyes found the soon to be reconsidered distraction, as a large fumbling of ponies came from the newly opened portal.

Rainbow Dash POV
As we exited the portal, It became apparent that we had not gone though and Into the same location. Apparently we had ended up In a graveyard. For the second time of the day we came to the wrong location. Then I noticed the steaming beam of light atop the grave rested at the top of the cemetery. Then a large white coated pony stood from the grave.
