//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 // Story: Soul Reaper // by cellum95 //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash, in all of her life, can't believe what was happening. Twilight, her very best friend and the one who will be with her forever, is threatening for the first time to the stallion. 'What is wrong with you Twilight?' She asked in her thoughts as Twilight, Pinkie and Octavia readied themselves with their swords should their interrogation plan failed. "Now, I will repeat my question: Who are you and what do you want?" Twilight asked the massive stallion. But it didn't even answer, just looking at them like it's was it's next dinner. Suddenly, it charged at them, prompting them to use their Flash Step, with the creature just missing them. The creature turned around, hoping to see the three Soul Reapers off-guard, but was met by a powerful and swift slash to it's shoulder. 'W..Where did that come from?!' Rainbow Dash thought as she scanned the room. As it turns out, it was Pinkie, who was blood on her sword. 'H..How could Pinkie d...do that?!' Rainbow Dash was lost for words, because one of her friends just physically hurt the stallion. For Pinkie, it was a shocker to her. Hurting a pony with her sword was hurting her too much, but since this stallion is hurting her friend, she has no other choice. Another slash, this time to the hoof, was heard and shown. Rainbow Dash scans again and saw Octavia with her sword in blood. "How could they do that?!" Rainbow Dash thought as another slash was shown, this time to the chest of the mysterious stallion. RD scanned the room one last time, and could Twilight with her sword drawn. However, despite having slashes to his shoulder, hoof and chest, the stallion remained undeterred and soon wants to re-engage the three mares. "Uhm girls. What should we do now?" Twilight asked her fellow Soul Reapers. "Uhm we could try our Zanpakuto's." Pinkie suggested. "But it would destroy your friends house here. There is no way we could use our Zanpakuto's here and to avoid damage here." Octavia warned. Twilight pondered for a moment, knowing Octavia's words are correct. However, due to the fact that these stallion is now terrorizing her friend's home, she just sighed and: "Although you are correct Octavia, I can't just leave my friend here who is now traumatized." Twilight said. Drawing out her sword, and having it horizontally across her hooves, she declared: "Light, Maho no Shokuin Boredo." In an instant, Twilight was engulfed in white light, blinding the stallion and Rainbow Dash altogether. When the flash had settled, Rainbow Dash opened her eyes and couldn't believe what she saw. Twilight had become much different, and although her alicorn wings are there, she had new robes, some shoulder and knee armor and a staff blade. 'W...What..." Rainbow Dash was lost for words, and she couldn't believe what she saw. After hearing Twilight's unusual words and the bright flash, her friend is now different, yet the same at the same time. Octavia, knowing that it was futile using their swords more, she declared her own Zanpakuto. "Melody, Yugana Gakki." Another bright flash blinded the stallion, but Rainbow Dash covered her eyes with her hooves. When the flash had settled, and when she uncover her hoof, she could see Octavia in the same robe as Twilight's, only then she had only shoulder armor, and a bow-like sword. 'How is that possible?!' Rainbow Dash screamed in her head of what she saw. Twilight and Octavia, when they declare those words, became very different. She hope Pinkie didn't have that when: "Unpredictable, Ima made no buki o henkō suru." Her fears were realized when a bright flash blinded the stallion and Rainbow Dash, and when it settled, she poke one eye and could see Pinkie's alter self. Her robe was the same with Twilight and Octavia, but without any armor and has a large stick as her weapon. Rainbow Dash is getting too much of it, fed up of why didn't they just showed it a while ago. Suddenly, the three attacked the stallion, with Pinkie's stick becoming a sickle. They landed direct blows to the huge stallion, but it didn't even budge to go down. This made the Soul Reapers desperate. But, in a bid to save her friend, Twilight got an idea. "Hey girls." "Yeah?" Pinkie and Octavia said in unison. "Step aside please. Including you Rainbow Dash." The cyan pegasus hesitated for a moment, before agreeing with Pinkie and Octavia stepping aside. Twilight raises her weapon and said: "Light, Kasai." Suddenly, her weapon was engulfed in flames before slashing it towards the stallion. It hit the stallion, slicing it in half, before incinerating to it's final. Rainbow Dash has two things in her head. On one hoof, it was awesome to see her friends new powers to it's full, but on the other hoof it was scary for her, killing a stallion. Suddenly, the three Soul Reapers collapsed, returning back to normal. Without thinking, Rainbow Dash comes to their aid and settled them to three beds. 'I must get the girls to inform them about their current condition.' Rainbow Dash thought as she flew to get the rest of the Mane 6.
