//------------------------------// // Brightie. // Story: Lightning Storm's story. // by Darkened Lightning Storm //------------------------------// Lightning sighed as she was lying in the rafters of a large meeting room. Down below her were not only the princesses, but some of the most important ponies in Equestria. And how much did Lightning Storm care? Hardly. She hated doing things like this, being a bodyguard. She was a bloody assassin, not some big tough earth pony stallion that got paid 5 bits an hour to foalsit a bunch of idiots sitting around a table discussing boring topics that meant absolutely nothing to her. For all she cared, doing taxes was more fun than this. But she had to, cause apparently her 'sworn enemy' was supposed to pop up outta nowhere and bop the princess one in the face. "Yeah right.." LS sighed as she chewed on the chain to her wedding necklace slightly out of boredom. Brightie. Just the name in general irritated Lightning. The unicorn who thought it would be funny to almost kill her wife and best friend. She bucked around with the wrong ponies. It had taken a lot of work to fight off the hoards of ponies who had it out for Brightie, but in the end it wasn't all that hard. Brightie was dead set on killing LS. "Why hello, Lightning Storm, I hope I didn't keep you waiting." Lightning didn't turn around, she knew the voice all to well. "I've been sitting here bored for a half an hour. I was starting to think you wouldn't show." LS smirked underneath her mask as she placed her fedora down. "And miss out on an opportunity to catch up with my least favorite pony? Who wouldn't come." Brightie laughed bitterly. Lightning stood up very slowly, facing Brightie. "So I heard you and that Rainbow maned skank are married now, how cute." Brightie slowly skipped from beam to beam carefully and lightning to restrained herself from cutting the mares heart out. "I heard you went fucking insane and sold your soul to the devil or some shit like that." LS watched her curiously. "You're doing it all wrong, don't you realize that. That demon or whatever the hell you got in cahoots with is using you to possess your body dumbass!" "I'm doing it all wrong? Oh- no, Lightning, Mare-Do-Well, you dear are doing it wrong. You see I'm invincible now. And your doing to die. I'll make sure it's a slow, painful one too." That's when everything unleashed. Brightie lunged at LS, who quickly dodged her first attack and kicked the mare into the beam. The insane unicorn quickly recovered and Lightning moved next. With one flick from her forehooves, her custom crafted hidden blades slide out and she gashed out Brighties shoulder. Brightie awkwardly dodged the next swing of the blade and swiftly pulled out her dagger. When she went to slash LS took a step back and fell off the beam, only to swing herself up behind brightie and dig both her hidden blades into the light brown mares back and dragged them down her flesh, leaving to long deep gashes in her back. Brightie spun around and attempted to jam her dagger into Lightnings neck but her failed as Ls swiftly dodged and the dagger ended up slashing the fabric on the midnight mares MDW mask. LS froze and anger flamed through her veins and boiled her blood; the fabric hung down some, reliving LS's now dark, icy blue eyes. Lightning storm sheathed her hidden blades and she managed to punch Brightie square in the gut and roundhouse kick her in the face. She then pinned Brightie down and repeatedly smashed her hoof in the mares face. "You motherbucking, cock sucking, needle-dicked, bitch ass, daughter of a broken condom! I mean honestly, that probably what your goddamn birth certificate is, is a fucking apology from the condom factory!" The voice modulator in Lightnings outfit made her sound like a demonic robot and her threw Brightie into the side of the building. She then Slammed into the younger mare and pressed her hoof down on Brighties neck, slightly chocking her. Lightning watched fear and panic course through Brightie's eyes as Lightning turn off the robo-voice and spoke in her regular voice. "You EVER make fun of my wife again. I will kill you. I will not hesitate to rip out your fucking heart out and pop it like a pill. The only time you speak of her or my family is in a good way. I will find you if you dare say anything else bad about them." "H-how.. Did you beat me?" "You said you sold your soul to a demon? Well guess what. I'm the devil." Lightning hissed and turned her voice thing back on, then threw bright down onto the main floor and cuffed her. She turned to Daring and nodded to her, and some ponies took brightie away. Daring trotted up to Lightning later the night, who had had poor stitches done to her mask. "Well done, Lightning." "Just doing my job Daring." LS sighed as she relaxed and turned off her voice modulator. "I uh... just want you to be aware, that almost everypony in the room heard your fight." "I figured." "Your Identity will still remain under tight wraps though, and your mask can be easily fixed." "... Nah, I kinda like it like this. I'll be fine."Lightning smiled some at Daring through her outfit who only smiled back. "Well, I suppose I'll be on my way. I'm sure Dash will be excited to hear about your day." and like that, Daring got up and left. Leaving LS alone with her thoughts and she flew off into the night, heading home to her cabin in the everfree.
