Chapter 31: One Last Tale

Chapter 31: One Last Tale

I awake real early in the morning when every pony else is asleep
‘Oh Celestia I forgot Rarity’s Dress’ I think to myself as I slowly get out of bed
“Hey Dusk make sure you look after mummy for me alright” I say walking over to the crib, “make sure you grow up big and strong like you father okay…I’ll see you later”
I kiss the top of Dusk’s head and silently walk out of the room.
I open the guest bedroom door and I bump into a purple pony
“Im sorry twilight” I say helping her up of the ground
“No worries, but where are you going” questions twilight
“I have to go to canterlot on business but I got to make a quick stop off” I lie to twilight
“Well I could help you get to where you have to go” smile twilight
“Uh sure” I say nervous about what she will do
“But don’t you wanna say goodbye to Rarity first”
“Na I think it would be best if she didn’t know I was gone for now, she would only try to stop me” I say silently walking out side
“Alright but where are you going?”
“You’ll find out sooner or later”
“Alright then” sighs Twilight, “let’s go”
Twilight begins casting one of her spells; I could see her horn light up with a light raspberry aura surrounding her entire horn with beams of light raspberry beaming out
All of a sudden we are teleported to Canterlot Warehouse 22.
“Aghh” I moan feeling a little dizzy
“Yeah every pony feels that way after teleporting” smiles Twilight
“Good to know im not the only one” I say my vision finally no longer spinning
“So what are you here for?” asks Twilight changing the subject
“I know within that warehouse is where the time portal is being built and I know that you’re going to go back to Sweet Apple Acres and look after Rarity for me…Okay”
“But what are you doing here?” persist Twilight
“I will explain later” I say walking over to the warehouse doors
“Oh by the way could you go and pick up Rarity’s dress for me that I left in the carriage…it’s outside of PonyVille and give him this” I say tossing a my saddle bag that had the one thousand bits in
“Sure” smiles twilight before teleporting off
‘Alright time to do this’ I think before opening the warehouse doors
I open the warehouse doors allowing the sunlight to peer through the warehouse bring light to the old, dark and abounded warehouse.
“Okay where are you” I yell into the darkness
“Im waiting here Shadow” laughs Phantom from deeper in the warehouse
I walk deeper into the warehouse as the light began to grow dime, looking for a light switch to light up this warehouse
“Agh Shadow...Lets play a little game” giggles Phantom running past me as he turns on all the lights within the warehouse
“Alright you wanted to fight here…so let’s do it” I say standing back on my hind legs ready to fight
“Not yet Shadow….I wanna show you something” says Phantom pulling a cloth of a hidden machine
“Uh so this is the time portal” I say in surprised over how big it actually was
“Yeah this is it…Now let’s bring some life to it” says Phantom turn the portal on
“Now the rules for this fight are as followed” says Phantom like he is some kind of referee, “this match is a No disqualification match for one fall… and however loses this match must leave PonyVille forever”
“Well you better say your goodbyes Phantom” I say getting ready for the fight
Phantom begins to charge at me like he did yesterday but I was able to dodge while countering with a swift punch to his left kidney and going for another shot to the exposed left abdomen
“Hmm…you’re not that good of a fighter” I say picking him up of the ground and holding him centimeters of the ground
“That’s where your wrong biarch” says Phantom as his eyes flash into a dark red
Phantom knocks my hoofs away from his neck and punches me square in the face, I groan in pain as my back collides against the hard surface of the wall.
“So you see Shadow you’re not the strong one here… You’re just a pathetic excuse of a pony” yells Phantom kicking me in the stomach not allowing me to get up.
I hit the ground in agony still wheezing from the first kick
“Come on Shadow…Get up” says Phantom kicking me again in the stomach, “Here I will help you”
Phantom lifts me of the ground with his unicorn magic leaving his blood red aura around me and a in a split second he tosses me across the warehouse make me collide with boxes and shelves along the way
“Come on Shadow” screams Phantom levitating me of the ground once more, “FIGHT ME!”
Phantom continues his assault by tossing me repeatedly around the room. He finally comes to a stop allowing me to regain a strength I could muster to fight back.
“Okay Shadow” laughs Phantom levitating me ones again of the floor that had been Staind with my own blood, “Time for you to leave”
I could feel his power increasing rapidly as he was about to throw me through the portal….but I began to feel something unusual taking away the pain I felt throughout my entire body, the bruises that covered my back and arms began to disappear, my strength began to return. I felt as I had regained all my health and I noticed that same red aura that appeared while racing Dash had turned into pure black.
“Wha….what’s happening” says Phantom trying to control what is going on
“AHHHHHHH” I scream as the blood red aura that once held me disappeared into thin air
“No… No this can’t be happening” Says Phantom terrified of me
My eyes locked onto a cowering Phantom and he could notice the anger through the mad expression on my face and the black aura flowing across my body as I stood on my hind legs
“You said you wanted to fight” I smile with an evil grin as I move closer to Phantom, “Now fight me”
“I lung at Phantom with quick speed landing a punch directly in his stomach causing him to fall to his knees, I grab his head in my hooves and bring his head down onto my knee as I move it towards his skull, knocking Phantom directly on his back. I walk over to Phantom and pick his lifeless body of the ground and hold him an inch of the ground and proceed to pummel him as I hold him in one hoof before I throw him into a nearby crate walk over to where a Phantom laid on top of the pieces of broken wood I picked him back up again.
“Come on Phantom…you wanted a fight” I laugh “and you’re not even fighting back”
I toss him in front of the portal casing his head to bang on the left side of the device. I walk over and kick him directly in the stomach and pick up a steel pipe lying across from me
I was about to hit Phantom directly in the face until I hear a familiar voice screaming from behind me
“Shadow?” screamed the scared familiar voice
The pure black aura that surrounded my body began to disappear at the sound of Rarity’s Voice
“Shadow what are you doing” says Rarity backing away from me as I walked closer to her, “this isn’t the colt I came to love…he doesn’t harm or kill other ponies no matter how evil they may be”
“But Rarity” I say walking closer to her even though she still backed away
“No Shadow, I…” Rarity was cut off as she was levitated of the ground and lifted towards the portal
“Hahaha” Laughs Phantom, “you didn’t think it would be that easy did you”
“Phantom” I screamed as I began to run over to save Rarity
“ah ah ah… come any closer and your fiancé won’t be around in PonyVille no longer” toys Phantom bringing Rarity closer to the portal leaving her only a couple inches away from it
“PHANTOM LET HER GO….SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS” I scream
“Ah but she does” laughs Phantom with an insane look growing across his face, “See when you wouldn’t fight I was getting quite bored and frustrated so I thought it would be fun to let you get angry and knock me around abit”
“Why would you do that you insane prick” I scream
“As I said, I was bored and know since Rarity came running along, I thought we could have some fun” says Phantom with one of his hooves holding a blood red ball of energy
“Just leave her out of this… you win”
“Ah but what would that achieve” says Phantom throwing the ball of energy at me
Unable to dodge the attack it knocked me further away from Rarity nearly making me land near the warehouse entrance.
“SHADOW” Cries Rarity running over to me but being stopped by Phantoms powers
“Now where was I” says Phantom
“Agh” I moan coughing up a little bit of blood
“Oh yes…Rarity say hi to the Humans on earth for me okay” says Phantom throwing a ball of energy towards Rarity.
“NO RARITY” I scream as I got up of the ground
I don’t know what it was that came over me but the dark black aura appeared again, it was probably out of pure anger and desperation that Rarity was in danger. It felt as if time had slowed down as I began running down the isle of the warehouse; it was incredible how fast I began to run as Rarity became closer and closer to going through the portal. I finally made it to where Rarity was standing pushing her out of the way of the incoming red orb.
I didn’t have enough time to dodge the attack myself, allowing the energy ball to knock me flying into the portal. It still felt like time was going slowly as I head towards my fate, not knowing what awaited me back on earth. I could see Rarity crying as she watched her fiancé about to be gone forever with no way to come back.
“I love you Rarity” I yell as I hit the portal

The only thing I could remember was the darkness I saw as I travelled back to earth and all I could think about was Rarity, not being able to see her beautiful face her lovely bouncing purple mane and never see those sparkling beautiful purple eyes that would peer inside my heart that had belonged to Rarity, never be able to hold our new born son Dusk ever again. I probably would never be able to live my life feeling the same way I did when I was in PonyVille or with Rarity ever again. I was going to miss everything about Equestria from how the moon and sun were raised during the night and morning to Rarity’s Carousel Boutique and the life I had back in PonyVille, never to experience such friendship that me and Dash had ever again or compassion and generosity that Rarity showed me when I first came to PonyVille.

I awoke to the sound of crashing waves against the rocks and the cliffs that stood within the water. I try to look around but I could on see the blur of everything around me, hoping I was only teleported somewhere else within Equestria. I rolled onto my back and looked up to the blue sky as my vision started to come back to its original perspective.
“No I can’t be back” I mumble.
