"Oh how I forgot how some are just willing to open up to the darkness" Fluttershy said with the darkness controlling her every move.

Then his concentration lapsed.

"Oh and you seem to forget something you shadow" Fluttershy said with her own will.

that is impossible, she is resting the shadow of eternal pain and suffering I gawd at the sight of Fluttershys' resistance.

"I thought you were a mere weakling like the rest." the shadow said regaining control "And it looks like that was all the resistance she had in her"

I have to stop this now hopefully in the next ten minutes so I can get some sleep 

"And I am no longer 'shadow' or 'Fluttershy' I am the Fluttering Shade"

Fluttering Shade charged a shadow barrage. Luckily i have seen this before and easily danced around the shadow barrage.
I could tell something was off though. It was as if Fluttershy was still resisting the shadow causing the body to hesitate giving me an opening.

One quick knock to the head knock her out cold and get that mask off

"I'm growing tired of this." Shade said.

This is new it looks like a shadow barrage but still looks like a new power for him.  

"Shade Ursa" the normal shadow barrage charged in her hooves but they were azure. "Come fourth!!"

As fluttering shade finished, the mask slowly enveloped Fluttershy giving me the perfect opportunity. 

I took it.

"Your'e open!!" I yelled kicking them in the head. If Ursa's are like the legends back home it was for the better

luckily the kick both shattered the shadows concentration and knocked Fluttershy out cold while knocking me back.

"I am so sorry fluttershy" I said as I approached her. Putting my hand up to the dragons claw over her right eye. My hand then glowed a faint white witch changed quickly to black with the claw diapering.

how was she able to resist that much power and her body not be torn from her spirit I pondered while picking up fluttershy.

"Whatever the case we both could use some sleep." I said to myself yawning,"I have a full day ahead of me tomorrow."

Walking into the house I saw a small rabbit lying on the couch. Knowing to let a sleeping dog lie somewhat hoping it would help. I walked into each room until I found fluttershys room. Carefully lied her down as to not wake her. she will think it was all just a bad dream in the morning I thought while searching for the arctic. 

"Another well slept arctic night" I said finding and putting my head on the arctic cats' handlebars.

Well I don't know how you did it shadow but you are going to have a harder time trying that a second time I thought drifting into sleep.
