//------------------------------// // The Battle with Dark Light! Part 1 The Tale of Dark Light's Tragedy // Story: The Love of a Farm Pony 2 // by Fiction Quill //------------------------------// You and Dark Light continued to stare at each other for a few minutes before you began to clash blades. As you and Dark Light fight, Flash Sentry checks Spike's pulse to see if he is alright and sighs in relief. "It's OK everyone Spike is alive." Rarity's and Twilight's tears became tears of joy. "Oh thank goodness. I was afraid lost my younger brother even though he is a dragon and is adopted he is still my little brother and number one assistant." Rarity stroked Spikes cheek as she wiped her tears away. "And i almost lost the only one who has ever truly loved me i don't know what i would do if i lost my Spikey-Wikey." Celestia smiled at spike and Rarity. "I am glad Spike finally got the pony he loves. Allen was right when his said that if Spike came along he would end up winning your heart." Rarity smiled. "I can't believe i was too foolish and too blind to see how Spike truly felt about me. Well i am never going to take him for granted again. I am going to enjoy every moment i spend with him." Flash spoke up. "Spike may be alive but he needs medical attention and if he doesn't get it soon then he very much will die. Unfortunately we are trapped thanks to Dark Light. I hate to say it but this might very well be the end for Spike. I am sorry you two." Twilight and Rarity was about to burst into tears again until Fluttershy stepped forward. "Not if i can help it! Discord Do you still have my medical supply's?" Discord frowned. "I wish i could get them my dear but Dark Light sealed my magic. The most chaos i can do at the moment is defying gravity other than that i have no magic." Twilight and Rarity continue to cry. "Well we must do something! I can't live without my Spikey-Wikey." "I don't want my little brother to die." You ended up knocking Dark Light into the wall again harder than last time and you go to check on the others. "Is Spike alright?" Flash nodded "Yes but barely if he doesn't get medical attention soon he won't make it." You punch the ground in frustration. "Dammit! We can't get out of here either. What are we going to do?!" "Do you need some of these?" You heard a familiar voice behind you and you turn to see the CMC standing behind you with some medical supplies. "WHAT ARE YOU THREE DOING HERE?! I TOLD YOU TO STAY WITH THE CAKES UNTIL WE GOT BACK." Applebloom walked up to you with a serious look on her face. "We thought about it and we figured since we can't help you fight Dark Light we could help by give others medical attention. Besides this involves all of us and we have every right to be here for our friends and family like you do." You were taken aback by getting lectured by Applebloom and chuckled. "Well you have grown up quite a bit Applebloom. You are right. You do have the right to be here because this doesn't just involve us. It involves all of Equestria." Dark Light leaped from the rubble and attempted to cut down Applebloom when Discord quickly hit him with his tail. "You stay away from my best friend's future sister-in-law!" Dark Light looked at Discord with confusion and anger. "Allen's future sister-in-law? So he has already proposed to the Element of Honesty eh? Well then." Dark Light used his dark magic to send Applejack to the other side of the room. "Looks like i need to end their relationship then before that can happen!" Dark Light shot a beam from his blade at Applejack but before the blast could hit her you immediately jump and in the way and the blast hits you dead on and you fall to the ground with burns all over your body as you lay there in pain and Applejack bursts into tears as she cries on top of you. "Why Allen!? why did you do that!?" You simply smile at her as you stroke her cheek softly. "Because Applejack i love you more than anything and i promise you when we were in the Everfree Forest a year ago that i would protect you no matter what." Dark Light chuckled. "How touching but it matters not." He put Applejack in another cage beside you but out of arms length. "No! Allen!" Dark Light began to put the rest of them in separate cages. Even separating Luna and Celestia. "You will never get away with this Dark Light!" Dark Light scoffed at Celestia. "You know that reminds me i said the same exact thing to you before when you attempted to destroy me all those years ago when i was helping you get rid of the dark magic through out Equestria!" Luna and Twilight looked at Celestia with confusion. "Princess Celestia what is he talking about?" "Yes sister what does he mean by that?" Celestia lowered her head in shame as Dark Light laughed. "You know Celestia i am not surprised you didn't tell your student but i figured you would have at least told your sister. Well i guess i will do so myself!" Celestia looked at Dark Light in horror. "No Dark Light! Please don't!" Dark Light ignored Celestia and began his explanation. "As you all know one millennia ago i was created by King Sombra with his dark magic. He taught me everything he knew about dark magic in the hopes i would help him destroy Princess Celestia and Luna and i planned on it too, however when i finally came face to face with them i couldn't bring myself to do it for some reason. I didn't know why but i couldn't destroy them. That's when i befriended them and we worked together not to destroy Sombra but to stop him and turn him into shadow. I admired how they were willing to stop Sombra without destroying him but the Elements didn't work on him. So as he was about to destroy them i stepped in the way and blocked the attack as Allen did for that farm pony. After i recovered from the attack i swore to him that i would stop him and protect the princesses with my life and as i did so the Blade of Harmony appeared and i used it and turned Sombra in shadow and of course you all now what happened to the crystal empire. After that me and Celestia set out to rid Equestria of dark magic. Luna stayed behind to look after things at the castle. It took us a couple years to do it but we rid most of Equestria of dark magic. The rest would fade within time only one thing of dark magic remained that was a threat to her and her kingdom, myself. That was when she betrayed me!" " FLASHBACK" "Princess Celestia why?! Why are you doing this?! I was Loyal to you and Luna! I don't understand!" "Because Dark Light you were created through dark magic so you are the embodiment of dark magic itself but more importantly i saw you practicing dark magic while you were in your chambers so i am sorry but it must be done." "Please Celestia! You have no idea what i am doing! I am doing all of this for you! I have fallen for you Celestia!" "Someone who was created through dark magic cannot feel love only hatred. I am sorry but this ends now!" "NO!!!!! CELESTIA WHY!?" " FLASHBACK OVER" "Celestia thought she had destroyed me but she didn't but she did destroy one thing. My heart! Not only that but instead of your spell destroying me it turned me into what i am now!" Celestia was shocked by this but still had her head lowered in shame at the others look at Celestia and Dark Light with their own shocked expressions. "Y-You mean i did this to you?" "That's right and for your information about two things. One. Just because i am a creation of dark magic doesn't mean i don't have a heart and doesn't mean i am unable to love. If i didn't care about you Celestia i wouldn't have protected you from Sombra! Secondly. Reason why i was tampering with dark magic is because i was on the break through of figuring out how to cleanse it to purify dark magic and turning it into good magic!" Everyone looked at Dark Light with jaws agape. "D-Dark Light i am sorry if only i had known and i did some research after i thought i had destroyed you and you were right about you being able to love." Dark Light glared at Celestia. "I DON'T WANT YOUR APOLOGY ANYMORE! now i just want to make you suffer! The same way you have made me suffer!" Dark Light charged up his blade and his horn to channel more dark magic into the blade. "And i will start by destroying your sister and your pupil at the same time!" He shot a blast from his blade directly at Luna and Twilight. "LUNA! TWILIGHT! NO!!!!" Dark Light laugh as the blast approached the two Alicorn's but before the blast made contact with them another blast in the color of the rainbow made contact with Dark Light's blast. Dark Light glared as he realized where it came from pointing his attention to you. "We aren't finished Dark Light. Leave them out of this. If you want to try and destroy someone then bring your attention to me that is if you think you have what it takes to destroy me Dark Light." Dark Light's anger began to grow from your taunting. "Boy i am going to make you eat those words!" You smirk as you took your stance ready to fight. "I would like to see you try." Applejack and Apple Cider grabbed your leg. "No honey please stop you are only going to get yourself killed!" "Mommy is right please stop daddy i don't want you to die!" You smile as them as you hug them tightly. "I promise you both i am not going to die that is a pinkie promise." You charged up your blade and blasted at the cages destroying the cages. Pinkie Pie overjoyed. "Hey we are free!" Dark Light glared as he charged up his horn to put them back in cages but was stop by you shooting at beam at him slicing his horn off. "GAH!!!!! MY HORN! HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO ME YOU WORTHLESS HUMAN!" You looked at the CMC and Flash Sentry. "Tend to Spikes injuries there should still be enough time to save him and stay out of this fight. All of you. Leave Dark Light to me." They all nodded as they went to tend to Spikes injuries while Rarity hold him. "Hang on Spikey-Wikey. We are doing our best to save you and i promise after this is all over we will go on a date in public just you and me so i can show everypony that you are mine and that i love you." Rarity looked at you seriously. "Allen beat him so we can all go home and teach him not to mess with Spike!" You smile as you nod never taking your eyes off of the enraged Dark Light. "You got it Rares. I will make him learn not to mess with my friends and family." You take your stance once again ready to clash with Dark Light for hopefully the last time.
