Rarity purchases contacts from overseas. They cost her 500 bits so the must be good. Right? Right?
Rarity has done a bit of thinking and has considered changing her eye color temporarily. She orders rare contacts from a mysterious overseas seller she met via a friend. They work, but to what avail?
Rarity stood at one of the multiple giant pink mirrors that decorated her boutique. She eyed herself up and down. She felt as though something needed to change. She wanted something new to her appeal. Not only new, but FABULOUS! Dying her hair would be going to great extremes, as her perfectly curled her took forever to do, and another forever to get it to stay in place. Then, she thought about coat dye, but that was just plain stupid. She never heard of anyone dying their coat. She didn't want to be the first to do it as she may look absolutely dreadful if she doesn't have a basis for it. Then she looked into her eyes. Her beautiful, azure colored eyes. At first she pushed the thought out of her head, as it seemed like she was giving up who she was. But she dismissed it, as she wanted something new that would turn ponies heads to her as she walked down the streets of Ponyville. She wrote up a letter explaining her predicament and sent it to the post office, leaving instructions to copy the letter and send it to various beauticians across the lands or, if needed, the world.
"A new eye color?! But sis, your alright the way you are!" Complained Sweetie Belle, having snuck a peak at the letter before Rarity mailed it off. She looked at her as if she was going to get surgery or something of that nature.
"Sweetie Belle, you must understand. You cannot be somebody without change. Sweetie Belle, do you know what insanity is?" Rarity asked her little sister, expecting the answer to be a yes, followed by a reference to the Ponyville mental institution.
"Uh-huh," Sweetie Belle started, hopping onto her sisters lap, ash Rarity began to stroke her soft mane. "Ain't that what that pony down at the crazy hospital has? What was her name...ummm.... I forget."
"Forgot, Sweetie Belle." Rarity said l, correcting her grammar and grimacing in the process as she passed knots and twists in Sweetie's hair while she was stroking it. She didn't want to hurt her feeling so she just sucked it up and kept stroking.
"Sis, are you trying to impress somebody?" Sweetie Belle asked.
The question hit Rarity as a whole mountain had crumbled into rocks, creating an avalanche, flattening her. She hadn't expected Sweetie Belle to ask this question at all, mostly because her sister stayed out of her personal business, save for that whole Tabby Gums mess. She started sweating a bit as she thought of the one pony she was possibly referencing to. She shoved his picture out of her mind and answered her simply.
"No, I am doing this on my own accord."
"Are you sure? You never considered this before." She said questionably.
"Why, how dare you accuse me of ribbing to you, of all people, my little sister! And I thought we had a mutual trust!" Rarity shouted, turning her head away. Any normal pony would have taken her seriously, but obviously Sweetie Belle wasn't normal. She was her sister and she saw this act multiple times. She crossed her front hooves and looked at Rarity annoyed.
"Well it was worth a shot." She said shrugging to herself.
"It's for that Gray stallion with the Dark Blue hair isn't it?" Sweetie Belle asked in reference to a stallion named Dark Side, who was the 3rd stallion Rarity ever fell in love with. She knew it had something to do with him.
"Sweetie Belle, I've explained this to you many times over, we're just friends."
"Friends with benefit..." Sweetie Belle mumbled as she got off her sisters lap and was about to go to her room until a knockwas heard at the door. She rushed and answered it. There were two ponies waiting outside in the rain, Fancy Pants and Dark Side.
"May we come in little filly?" Fancy Pants asked Sweetie Belle as he casually strolled just inside as if she said yes. Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes and looked back to Dark Side who was still outside, waiting for an answer.
"Come on in, I guess."
Dark Side walked in shaking his fur, trying to get the water out of it.
"Fancy Pants! So what brings you her-"
"She's getting contacts to impress that guy!" Yelled Sweetie Belle, pointing at Dark Side.
"Wait...what?!" Dark Side exclaimed, taken aback by this new development.
"That's simply not true Dark Side! You know how little fillies are, with their wild fantasies and such. So Fancy Pants, I hear one of your friends overseas manufactures contacts?"
"Yes, but first, allow me to explain why I am here. Me and my accompanying companion, the stallion over there, we're taking a stroll around Ponyville. He was telling me how great your works are." Fancy Pants explained.
Both Dark Side and Rarity turned their heads in a different direction to avoid the other seeing the immense blush on their faces. Rarity was the first to recover.
"Sorry, go on?"
"And then all of the sudden it starts pouring down on us! Thank our luck we were walking past your boutique at the time. Now, about the contacts... it's actually the first time those dratted tabloids were actually right. Yes, he does. In fact, I bring his business card with me just incase I meet someone with the same needs you want." He said handing the card of to her.
The card read Maneara G. Kyo, Contacts Designer and ocular specialist. It listed his address, which she made a mental note of to write him a letter after they leave.
"I am ever so grateful, thank you Fancy Pants!" She exclaimed having finally found what she was looking for, special, one of a kind, contacts.
For the next thirty minutes the trio spoke about things such as political matters in Canterlot, to new styling trends In Canterlot, to the nature of the contacts she was about to order. Soon the rain let up and they said their goodbyes as the went on their way.
Rarity thanked Celestia that Sweetie Belle had grown weary of their conversation and left back upstairs. She wrote out a note requesting that she get red contact lens, and that she enclosed 500 bits inside the envelope. She wrote the address and went to the mail station where she left the mail with a malware by the name of 'Derpy'.
The next following week was nothing but constant teasing about Rarity's apparent crush on Dark Side, at the relentless hooves of her own sisters. They snickered non-stop, even after she promised to go buy Sweetie some ice cream with her next dress sale. This went on for a week and then some, until her lens finally came in the mail. She excitedly ripped into the box and pulled out the lens.
She sat herself in front of a mirror.
"Lets pray this works Rarity." She said to herself. She the pushed the contact lens into each eye. Slowly but surely. They felt strange as she put them in her eyes. When she put them on her eye they seemed to sink into her eye and dissolve. She dismissed it, blinked a few times and looked in the mirror. What she saw was a red eye, surrounded by three black comma shaped dots, surrounding her deep black iris. She thought of it has a little weird at first, but found it particularly beautiful in its own type of way. She trotted up the stairs to give Sweetie Belle a look when, suddenly everything went black.
"Huh? Sweetie Belle did you turn of the light?" Her question was answered by the crackling of thunder, which should have provided her with light, but it didn't. Suddenly she was in Sweetie Belle's room.
She was writing a note of some sort with a pen she alleviated with her horn. All of the sudden a loud crack was heard from outside, causing a tree to fall through the window, smashing Sweetie Belle's head in. Blood was covering the desk and bits and pieces of skull and brain matter where scattered everywhere.
"SWEETIE BEEEEEELLLLEEEEE!!!!!!," Rarity cried at the top of her lungs, making them burn from overuse. But she didn't care. All she cared for at that time was her little sister, presumably dead.
"NOOOOOO!!!!!" She yelled. Finally, her lungs exhausted their use. She almost collapsed until she realized she was still in her hallway. Sweetie Belle ran out of her room, following her sister's scream.
"Whats wrong?!" Sweetie Belle asked anxiously.
*CRACK* *BOOM*
Sweetie and Rarity heard noises from Sweetie's room. They ran into the room and a big tree branch was gaping through the window crushing her desk.
Rarity could only stare in disbelief as what she saw had become a reality. She Predicted the future and saved her little sister. She hugged Sweetie Belle close to her as she wept, almost seriously determined never to let go again.
Rarity could barely sleep that same night. Her eyes were heavy, but her brain would not let Her sleep.
She was thinking about what had just happened. If she didn't have these eyes or whatever she had, her sister would be dead, her head smashed through her own desk by a rogue tree. The very thought of the tragic death of her sister made her shudder, also making it harder to sleep.
Eventually she did sleep, however. It was no a sound sleep though. I. Her dreams she was visited by a stallion with a long, black, spiky mane and a grayish coat. He had the same eyes she had. Besides that, he looked almost like Dark Side. He looked at her with a deathly serious look.
"Um, excuse me, sir, but who exactly are you? How are you here?" Rarity asked, implying that she was lucid dreaming.
"I am Moonlit Madara. Those eyes you have.... they are very special." He said l, his facial expression unchanging. Rarity obviously took it the wrong way.
"Oh are they?" She asked blushing. The fact that he looked like her coltfriend didn't help her take him seriously. She also noticed that her eyes were still the color of the lens, because he mentioned them.
"They are a trait only passed down from those of my family, people from my family can also exchange It via other ways."
"Before we get into this, just what are you talking about?"
"Isnt it obvious? I'm talking about the Sharingan." He said pointing one of his hooves at her eyes.
"Is that what this is called?" She asked, thinking it was pretty creative for a contact lens name.
"Your thinking is impaired. Those are not mare contacts. They are a blood carried-"
Madara was interrupted by Rarity stomping swishing her hoof around her eye.
"Where is it?! Where is the lens?!" She screamed, desperately searching for it, trying to prove Madara wrong. "This isn't possible!!!"
"As I was saying, it is a bloodline inherited trait passed on by my family. It gives the one who possesses it the incredible ability of foresight. That would explain your little 'incident' earlier now would it? I figured it would awaken your powers." He said smirking as he looked in a different direction.
"Wait... you mean to tell me YOU were behind that tree?!" She yelled, going on the offensive in defense of her little sister's safety. Her anger boiled at the possibility.
"So what if I was? What's done is done. And now that I know that you can awaken the powers I want to see if you can take it a step further." He said with a devilish grin on his face as Rarity stared him down.
"What in hoof do you want from me?!" She screamed, wondering why he was still there if he had really gotten what he wanted.
"I think it should be the other way around. YOU want something from ME." He said, his voice and tone getting darker as he neared the end of his sentence
"What could I possibly want from a manipulative bastard like you?!"
"Me, manipulative? Heh, I always thought you were manipulative. Treating Spike as if he means something to you when he really doesn't mean crap to you. YOUR the ones pulling strings, Rarity. Your the villain." He said chuckling a bit. Anger boiled to the top of Rarity. She couldn't contain it anymore.
With a loud smack sound, Rarity trotted right up to Madara and backhooved him. He kept his face turned at the Angel she slapped him at as he spit out some blood.
"Your...stronger than you look." Madara commented, his expression still unchanging. He was acting as if nothing ever happened.
Rarity join st stared a him, all she had in her went to that one slap and he just shook it off? That didn't even seem right. Something was off about this whole thing.
"You will awaken the Mangekyo. I can guarantee that. You'll have to kill a close friend of yours." He said turning around as Rarity stared at him, mouth gaping open in disbelief.
"Ill never kill anyone!"
"We'll have to see about that." As he said this, he turned around as a large black portal appeared behind him. "Dont forget this. I get what I want. And it I want you to get the Mangekyo, you'll get it, trust me. Even if I have to cause one of your friends deaths, 'unintentionally'." As he finished his statement his voice took a turn do sinister, it shook Rarity to the very core. Shivers were sent down her spine as she recalled his last words. And what the check was this Mangekyo he is so fond of? The questions plagued Rarity's mind throughout the night as she lay there pondering.
Thee next day she headed over to Twilight's Library In order to get files regarding her family. She didn't want Twilight to ask questions so she put on black tinted shades that you could not see through. As she waited, she got a bad feeling. She felt herself black out of reality as she looked upon the Library. All of the sudden a small, but heavy looking meteor burst through the wind i w of the library, smashing Spike a n d causing a small explosion, limbs and scales flying in multiple directions. As the vision ended, she found herself screaming and squirming on the floor in mental anguish.
"Twilight! Listen to me! Get Spike out of his room or else-"
"Aaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuugggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" They heard a bloodletting scream upstairs, closely followed by an explosion. One could assume something fell on someone then blew up.
The two ran upstairs and into Spike's room. The grisly scene was too much for Rarity to handle. Spike was alive, but had had lost one of his legs in the explosion, and multiple parts of his body were signed in certain areas. Spike himself has blacked out from the immense amount of pain. Rarity back downstairs.
"MADARA----! What do you want from me?!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed out loud. All of the sudden a voice came from outside the building.
"Madara?" Asked a shy sounding voice. It was obviously Fluttershy.
The first thing Rarity noticed was Fluttershy's red and Black eyes, exactly identical to hers.
"What in blazes?" She exclaimed, soaking in the fact that Fluttershy possibly experienced the same thing she had.
"I'm sorry... are they scary to you?" Fluttershy asked in her normally timid voice as the two walked into the Library and made themselves at home, of course, without Twilight's consent, considering she was upstairs crying her eyes out over the Dragon's lost leg. Spoke, unfortunately, needed surgery performed to reattach the leg, and would be in there for awhile, so Twilight was mainly busy praying for her dear assistant.
Rarity and Fluttershy sat in the library, sharing their experiences. Fluttershy was, at first, too shy to open her eyes to reveal the Sharingan, but Rarity eventually talked her into doing so. Rarity learned that the same pony was pushing her to kill a family member, so that she could obtain something called the Tsukyomi.
"Well that's a pretty weird name." Rarity commented, listening intently to Fluttershy's witness accounts, attempting to make a connection between the two stories. After a while the two realized they were in the same boat, and may as well try to figure out about this as much as possible. When Twilight came down, they asked her to borrow any and all books relating to the Sharingan. She had gone to care for Spike in the Ponyville hospital. She was devastated and her mind felt as though it was deteriorating, but she couldn't turn down her friends. She levitated two books, one entitled The History of the Moonlit Clan and How Ocular Tendency Works.
"I believe we should read this one first." Rarity said, pointing a hoof toward the history of the book. Fluttershy, too timid to answer just nodded her head in approval.
"Over one hundred years ago, there were two clans of ponies, constantly at each other throats. One, who longed for control and order, the Moonlit. The other, who longed for a peaceful reign of a single unified clan, named the Sunscorch. The two clans, as one may piece together, had very different ideals, leading to heavy conflict and war between the two. The two clans, though the most powerful, always stopped at an impasse whenever they fought. The two always raged, regardless, attempting to further each their respective goals. Eventually, advisors of both clans decided that if war were to continue, then it would mean meaningless loss of life on both sides. They agreed to conjoined themselves into one clan, naming the area they settled into together 'Canterlot'."
"Wait! Canterlot?" Rarity exclaimed, clearly surprised that Canterlot had originally been a battlefield for two conflicting tribes of ponies.
"Umm.. if you don't mind, can we... get back to the story?" Fluttershy asked, unable to assert her great interest in the book.
"Quite, dear. Sorry, I lost myself. It took me by surprise, as all."
"Y'see, that's not all you'll read that'll surprise you." A voice said behind them. Rarity recognized the voice instantly to be the voice of her stallionfriend, Dark Side. He stood behind the two reading over the book. At one point, he caught a glimpse of Rarity. "Holy shit! You got the Sharingan too?!" Dark Side exclaimed in surprise.
"You... shouldn't say that word." Fluttershy said, looking away as she did.
"What do you mean by 'too', Dark Side?" Rarity questioned him, wondering if he had the same ability.
"Well, y'see, it's not exactly what you think. I had it would be a bit more... accurate, y'know?" He said.
"Well what happened to it? You'd think you would have told me something like this! Hmph!" She said, r refusing to look at him, making a huffing sound as she did.
"But I-"
"Hmph!!"
"Wait let me-"
"Hmph!!"
"Y'see-"
"Hmph!!"
"OBJECTION! Rarity! I refuse to be run over by your ridiculous charade!" Dark Side said pointing a hoof. Rarity's eyebrow raised as his newfound ability to stand up for himself had been realized. Ever since they'd Been dating, he never acted the same way he did in the courtroom. He always agreed with her, even though whatever he agreed on was visibly irksome.
"Now you WILL stop this foolish drama act, Y'see!" As he Saud that Fluttershy jumped out of her stool and flew up to Dark Side, grabbing his suit as she did.
"Dont you ever yell at my friend like that! She said with what touch of edge in her voice as Dark Side's eyes began to dilate, more in surprise than fear. Her eyes began growing as her anger raised. She knew she wasn't a doormat anymore, but she hated when this part of her came out.
What was strange, however, was she still has the Sharingan on, and it didn't seem to have a big effect on Dark Side.
"Are you done?" Dark Side asked, narrowing eyes at her, acting unaffected, though he was, in reality, unaffected. As he Saud that, Fluttershy loosened her grip and floated back onto the ground, a bit ashamed of what she just did.
"Now then, as I was saying, that book. It says a lot about the history of the two legendary clans. The leaders of the two clans were Moonlit Madara and someone you know very well." Dark Side explained, smirking at the last few words.
"Who was it?" Rarity and Fluttershy asked in unison.
"Princess Celestia."
"Princess Celestia?!" Twilight exclaimed, peeking up from her depressed state. Everyone forgot she was even in the room.
"Yup. Y'see, that's how she became ruler. After Moonlit Madara and Princess Celestia defeated the wild random tyrant Discord, while enlisting help from her sister, they began to argue over who should become the one absolute ruler of the two clans. They had unified, but that was a clever lie came up by the Moonlit clan. Celestia and Madara fought each other until Celestia eventually killed Madara. He died because of his own greed." Dark Side concluded.
"But that's not even in any of Equestria's historic records!" Twilight Saud, refusing to believe her teacher actually committed murder.
"Y'know, Twilight, sometimes your intellect comes into question with me. It's obvious why intent written down in historic documents. Do you seriously think she could lead a whole nation with blood on her hooves?"
Twilight just sat there quietly, trying to price all the described events together. As she did, Dark Side continued.
"As it turns out, Madara survived the onslaught. No one knew but me though. I guess you two know him too." He said, chuckling at his last bit of words as he glanced at Fluttershy and Rarity. Fluttershy's head was cocked and she was looking off into space as if contemplating about something. While Rarity just looked at him as attentively as possible. She needed all the information she could get from him at this point.
"I awoken the Sharingan when I was about 7. By then Madara kidnapped me, and for whatever reason, needed my Sharingan. He tore the layer of my eye that contained the Sharingan of with his bare hooves. The sad thing is he didn't have to do it that hard, y'know. Not only that but, he's related to me plus Fluttershy! " Dark Side said a bit sad.
"So how exactly are you related to Madara?"
"Well... Y'see....y'know.... he's my... grandfather. And Fluttershy's actually my.... sister." Dark Side finished, unwillingly forcing the last few words out. Fluttershy, Twilight, and Rarity all responded the same way--- they fainted.
"Damn it! Y'see I knew I shouldn't have told them!" Dark Side yelled out.
Later that night, after Rarity had finally came too, she was giving Dark Side the talking too of a lifetime. Half the time she was on the rant, he'd just try to tune her out, but whenever he did so, her voice grew louder and more hostile.
"You cant be serious Dark Side! You can't just go around claiming to be pony's sisters! Plus your the grandson of an evil tyrannical tyrant who's attempting to get me to murder one of my friends?! This is the type of thing you'd tell me on a first dat you know!" Rarity yelled, ranting on about Dark Side's misconduct.
"Y'know, if you wanted to know that kind of stuff, you should have asked. Y'see, you didn't ask. How was I supposed to tell you something if you didn't tell me you wanted to know, y'know?" He asked placidly. He was playing it cool as he always did whenever something of this nature happened. He was basically looking away, trying his best not to look at her to avoid her devilish glare.
"Well, you should have told me anyway! Your a relative to my best friend, and you refused to tell me?! So what else are you hiding?!" She yelled, filled with anger.
"Y'know, I don't see how this is bad in this least, y'know. It isn't like I was hiding it." He said, trying to refute her assertion of him being an adulterer.
"Yes it is Dark Side! This is a huge deal! You need to do something about your grandfather!" She yelled, trying to get the severity of the situation through his head.
"I don't even know where he is. You can't expect me to know him through and through just because we are related. Y'know, maybe you should think this through more. It's obvious he is not real in your mind, therefore he must be channeling his magic into you. In order to do so, he would have to be in a high place, y'see." Dark Side explained.
"I don't want to hear your excuses!" Rarity yelled, frustration overtaking her anger.
"Y'see,-"
"Hmph!" She huffed as she turned her head, copying the same act as before.
"As crap not this aga-"
"Hmph!"=
"Look, Rarity I don't want to scream at you-"
"Hmph!"
In response to her last huff Dark Side simply got up and walked out of the room only to run into a tearful Sweetie Belle.
"Does this mean my granddady got...killed?" She asked as her voice cracked. She overheard multiple parts of the twenty minute argument, including the part where Celestia killed Madara.
"Well, he's not your uncle. Y'see, me and your sis.. we're not married, yet at least." Dark Side said, hoping the fact that his future possible sister would stop the waterworks. "But! If we were to take the next step, then.... yes. But I assure you, he must be alive and well, considering sights of him these days. So if he ever becomes your grandad, I'm sure you'll meet him." Dark Side said, trying to assure the filly that one day she may have another grandad there to love her. In his heart, he knew that Madara was a horrible individual and he'd never let a relative, let alone his little sister meet him. As he said that he walked out of Carousel Boutique, trying to give Rarity space until she called down, until he was confronted my none other than Fluttershy.
"Dark Side! ---I mean--- brother!" She started, taking Dark Side be surprise, being her forceful attitude. "Tell me how we're related! Tell me about our family line!"
"Y'know, you could ask."
"Well please? If you don't mind, of course." She said, retreating back into her normally shy deposition.
"Well, our dad was Madara's son, Moonlit Fusaku. Our mom was named Candy Apple. As her name implied, she was a sweet person. All she had was love for us inside of her. Why Madara went for someone as sweet and innocent as her, I wouldn't know. And how she ended up with him, I wouldn't know. I do know, however that a certain individual carried out mom's death."
"Death?!" Exclaimed Fluttershy. She always thought her mom was alive and well somewhere. But if that where true she would have visited her regularly. She collapsed onto the ground, still conscious, but crying. Her heart felt smashed as she hoped she could see her mother and father once more before she or they died. It wasn't going to happen. It was unfortunate, but it was the truth.
"Damn it. Should've not have said that, I guess." He noticed her eyes were still open, meaning she was still awake. She got up steadily and looked him in the eye. "Keep going..." she commanded.
"Y'see, mom had a very peculiar ability. The... Rinnegan, I believe. Apparently, everyone considered her a threat because the Rinnegan was known tobe highly unstable. That's probably why Madara, Er, dad, went after her. But certain individual ordered her death to 'save her people'."
STOP RIGHT THER DARK SIDE! commanded a thundering voice that seemed to crash downwards from the heavens.
"So... I assume you've come to silence me. Celestia, Luna." Dark Side said, not even turning around.
"Dark Side. You will not tell anypony! That was long time ago! Thou dearest sister Hath changed!" Luna Saud in the royal voice.
"Y'know, your terrible liar your majesty." He said chuckling. He flared his horn and fired a blast at Luna, knocking backward into a tree. Celestia and Fluttershy flinched as they saw the might of Dark Side. His eyes had begun to form a black circle around his pupil as they turned red.
"Stop this madness Dark Side! Your mother's death was her own undoing!"
"Oh sure it was. And her death, in turn will be your undoing. Shouldn't have killed her!" He yelled as he fired a projectile magic spark at her. In response, she put up a reflective shield, that reflected it back to him, hitting him, and forcing him backwards into Rarity's Room. He lie there, in moving and bleeding profusely. Rarity got up out of her bed noticing Dark Side.
"Dark Side?! Wh-What happened?!" She yelled as she ran over to confront his in moving body. He was still breathing though. She looked out of the gaping hole in her wall to see Fluttershy and Celestia facing each other.
"Dont get yourself hurt Fluttershy. Just leave it alone. Please." Celestia begged, as Fluttershy shook with anger. Her eyes took the form of the Mangekyo Sharingan. All of the sudden, space around Celestia began to distort, along with her, as she disappeared to an unknown location. Before she disappeared, all that was heard was her crown clanking on the ground.
Dark Side blinked his eyes open. He was in a cold and dark room. It was only lit by a single light in the center of the room. He had a syringe stuck into his left hoof and he was bound by two leather straps. He had a heart rate machine hooked up to him and he was fed oxygen through a tank. As he began to regain feeling in his body, he felt something on his stomach. As his vision came into focus, he saw Rarity, head face down on his stomach, crying. Her sobbing was almost heartbreaking to him. He slowly turned his head to the side. In three chairs next to him, three ponies had fallen asleep. They were Fluttershy, the fur around her eye area was crusted, implying that she had been crying. Her wing was wrapped around a sleeping Sweetie Belle, who was, to his surprise, snoring rather loudly. Next to them was Twilight Sparkle. From what Dark Side could piece together,sleep consumed her as she was reading about the space-time continuum. He could only suspect that she was figuring out a way to get that bitch Celestia back.
He took one hoof and moved it slowly, but surely up to Rarity's mane and began to stroke it. "Its a bit late to cry y'know. I'm not dead yet, y'see." He said smiling at her as she subconsciously slowly raised her head to see him alive. Part of his eye was obscured by bandages ranging from there to the back of his head. But his smile was something she'd never take for granted again.
"D-D-D-Dark Side!!!!" She screamed with tears of happiness flowing down her face uncontrollably as she bolted upward and hugged him tightly, her head buried in his shoulder. "You don't... know how much pain I felt...! I thought we lost you.. !" She said as a waterfall of tears began to wet Dark Side's white patient apron. He hadn't noticed it before, and if he didn't know already, now he knew he was in the hospital.
"Well, y'know as long as I have your, Fluttershy, Sweetie Belle, and the rest, I won't die so easily y'know." He said half hugging her back. He normally tried to avoid affectionate things like this unless he was in the mood, but he knew this was a special case. He could have lost his life last night. He could have left this world, leaving both of the sisters to fend Madara off himself. For the seemingly first time, he felt he was needed in this world. If his grandfather ever did one thing good for him it would be being who he is. He gave him a goal now. To stop him and protect what he loves at whatever the cost. Dark Side smiled and mumbled "Thanks grandad." He smiled and chuckled a bit as he said the next words. "Ya dick."
Rarity was actually a lot stronger than she looked. He asked her to let go a few times but she wouldn't so he attempted to pry her off. She kept a firm grip and he had no choice but to deal with it until the doctor presiding over his room cane trotting in. He had a long, spiky dark mane that looked almost like Dark Side's and he had a completely black coat. If Dark Side wasn't in the room, and he didn't have a bit more of a muscular build, she would have mistakenly him for Dark Side. He wore green shrubs as he walked in.
"So Ms. Rarity. How's Dark Side doing? Has he woken up?" At those words, Rarity noticed that Dark Side had started fake sleeping.
"No, not yet. He moves occasionally though." She said giving her own little mini report. "How's Princess Luna doing?"
"We, she just regained consciousness, and based on her tone, she's not really happy with Dark Side, nor Fluttershy right now. According to her, without her sister, not only will no one be able to raise the sun, but criminal activity will go up." He said walking towards Fluttershy, Twilight, and Sweetie Belle. He shook them awake and requested they go outside for a moment while he talked to the both of them.
"Rarity. I know Dark Side's awake. His heart rate is way to fast, he isn't even in the REM stage of sleep yet. He may as well quit it with the faking." His words 'woke' Dark Side up.
"Alright, what do ya want? I'm trying to spend quality time with my marefriend, y'see?" He said annoyed at the doctor's attempts to ruin the moment.
"Well, we need you to sign this patient's consent form."
"Wait, why?"
"We need to perform surgery on your eye. It's still bleeding from the inside and, if left untreated, it could lead to head swelling."
"Which eye?"
"The right one. But we may need to consider the left one also, considering the circumstances."
"Y'know,I'm not stupid. It's fairly obvious what your really after. Drop the act. Grandfather sent you, didn't he,dad?"
At his words, the doctor flinched backward at his perception ability. He hadn't expected to be found out so quickly. He had been told by Madara that his son wasn't very bright, but obviously, he was wrong.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Just give us your Sharingan. It'll be easier on you if you just give it up." He said, dropping his facade.
"Sharingan?! What do you need with his Sharingan?!"
"Honestly, I don't know how he still has theme anyways. After we ripped the oscalar* layer of his eye off, he lost his Sharingan. We then thought he couldn't get it back. The thing is, his Sharingan is way too unstable abd-"
"No, no, no. Stop right there. Y'see, that's the worst lie I have ever heard. I can control it just fine." As he said this he blinked once and opened his eyes, revealing the Sharingan, before reverting them back again to prove his point. "So what did you idiots do to my ocular layer?"
"We sold it to a dealer for 500 bits. And now we have...."
"...reason to believe Rarity has your Sharingan." Finished a menacing voice in the corner, and out from the shadows walked Moonlit Madara, levitating a scalpel with his horn.
"Well, Rarity... y'know, even if I was healthy I couldn't take both of them on my own y'see? You really should lea-"
The two pairs stared each other down. Both of them had the Sharingan activated. Now they just stood, hearing the soft moan of the air condition as the slight wind blew their hair.
In reality, Rarity was scared. It wasn't noticeable, but she was shaking. Considering Dark Side was injured and somewhat unlikely to be able to fight as he usually is. She felt as though she was alone, battling a stallion who could stand up to the likes of Princess Celestia.
Dark Side, on the other hand, was excited. His pulse was racing and he had a highly smug grin on his face. He knew he had multiple handicaps, but he was very capable of fighting, considering his Sharingan. Then there was that other thing...
Madara made the first move, or, at least that's what Rarity's Sharingan showed her. As she opened her eyes from the trance, Madara rushed at the two with his horn. In response, Dark Side took Rarity's hoof and pulled her backward, over the hospital bed. In the process, he stomped on the side of the bed as hard as he could. The bed rebounded upward, creating a makeshift barricade the two.
As he was already in motion and moving impossibly fast, Madara couldn't stop himself as he plowed his horn through the bed, inches away from Dark Side's throat. Dark Side took Madara's dazed state as an opportunity for a counter. He zapped his horn with an anti-magic spell, but he only knew one that prevented magic projectiles.
"Dark Side, look out!" Rarity warned, tackling Dark Side to the ground as Fusaku threw a syringe filled with sleep liquid at him. It missed and stuck into the bed.
"Madara! Don't kill them! We need their Sharingan!" Fusaku yelled to his comrade.
"I know! But we can't take any chances!" Madara yelled back, attempting to unify his arm from the fierce wood grip the bed had on him. He eventually pulled his horn back, but at the cost of the recoil sending him flying towards the wall, making a huge *THUD* sound and casing cracks and crevices to appear in the green tinted walls. He lifted his head up slowly, grimacing a bit from the pain as he saw a pony hoof coming towards his face. He took it like a stallion as it crushed against his skull, he knew whoever this was showed little to no remorse and he only knew one pony like that. He opened his eyes to see Rarity, rearing backwards for another hit until Madara slammed his head into her head, his horn somewhat piercing her skin.
"Ooooowwwwww!" Rarity moaned as a trickle of crimson red blood ran down her face. She wiped it if with a hoof. "IT. IS. ON!" She exclaimed as she tackled Madara to the ground next to her.
Madara's eye started bleeding as it looked like he shot a pillar of shadows out of his eye. She looked upward to see a plethora of black flames dancing gracefully on the ceilings.
Dark Side looked backward to see the Dark ink-like flames flowing on the ceiling. "What the hell?!" He yelled, worried that his grandfather was about to take the both of them down. "Rarity! Don't let that fire touch you!! It doesn't go out unless he puts it out! Dark Side warned.
As the flames raged, showing no signs of stopping, Dark Side had his hands full battling his own father. He apparently was not trying to hurt him, instead sending multiple syringes towards him. He wasn't throwing them fast enough, though, and Dark Side easily sidestepped or ducked them.
"Dark Side... we're just trying to help you." Fusaku said, tossing another syringe slightly faster then before.
"Y'know, you could make better lies than that." Dark Side commented, as he swiftly ducked, allowing the syringe to swing by him and into the wall. He threw it with such force that it cut through the wall. Fluttershy, from outside, immediately noticed it and suspected trouble.
She rushed in the isolated room. It was dark, but she could just barely see, thanks to the Sharingan. When she opened her eyes completely, she saw black flames gallantry stroking the roof of the room, showing no signs of stopping. In the right corner, she saw the pony from her nightmares, Madara, wrestling Rarity, who, to her shock, was resisting quite skillfully. In the middle of the room, Dark Side was pinned to a wall by a pony who looked somewhat like him. She wasn't sure who to help first, but she was sure she needed the element of surprise.
As Dark Side attempted to slip away from his assailant, his father reared upward, syringe in hoof. "Sorry son. This is for your own good." Dark Side heard his father mumble before he brought the syringe down towards his chest. Just inches before impact, though, Fusaku stopped dead in his tracks and toppled over clumsily. "What....did....you....do....?" Fusaku managed to choke out before finally losing consciousness. Behind him, Dark Side saw his little sister, holding an empty syringe.
"Y'see I knew you had good instincts." He complimented, hugging her. She smiled and nuzzled him, leaving him a bit uncomfortable. She was used to doing it to Angel before he.....passed. She didn't know how it felt to do it to another pony, let alone a stallion, leaving her with a severe blush on her face.
"Ummm... sorry." She said, making her trademark 'squee' sound as she smiled embarrassed.
"Yeah, y'know maybe we should save hugs for later. We got our grandfather to take down." Dark Side said, narrowing his eyes at his father, who had gotten pushed into a corner by Rarity.
"WELL?! C'MON YA LITTLE DIPSHIT!!!!!" Yelled Madara in a demonic voice as the two charged each other through the spreading flames, Sharingans blaring. Their heads clashed with great impact.
Madara got into his hooves and looked around his surroundings. He saw three pretty esteemed ponies, a tipped over bed, and black flames skidding defiantly around the area of the room. The Amaterasu, he did not plan. He used it without thinking about the consequences. At this point, though, he figured he should go ahead and take them out.
"Well then. So it's finally come to this, huh?" Madara said in a deep, menacing tone that shook Rarity and Fluttershy to the core. Dark Side was used to him speaking like this, so it barely affected him. "I don't think I'll be playing with you foolish children any more. You have peaked my anger, and for that, you will pay with your lives. If you know what's good for you, you would gouge out your own eyes and hand over the Sharingan!"
"Y'know,you could ask." Dark Side said with a chuckle, attempting, but failing poorly, to lighten the mood.
All of the sudden something giant caught hold of Dark Side's neck. Whatever it was, it was massive, and must have been covered in some kind of burning substance, because It felt like is throat was on fire. Whatever the material was, it felt like it was sleeping through his necks pores, burning him from the inside. Dark Side glimpsed downward to see a purple, giant, skeletal hand keeping hold of him. As he moved his gaze forward, he witnessed that it was coming from Madara's body. It was a giant skeletal man, to which they didn't even know what it was. It's ribcage provided Madara with a barrier.
"So... this is the Sasunoo..." Dark Side managed managed to grasp out as the grip around his neck tightened. As he said the words, a giant purple sword was held up to the upper part of his throat, left exposed due to the fact that the hand wasn't large enough to cover it.
"I would advise you to hold your tongue. It wouldn't bother me at all to slice your throat open." Madara said, staring blankly at Dark Side, indicating that he as serious as he could be at that moment.
Fluttershy just backed into the corner of the room, afraid of the raging, menacing, evil embodiment of destruction that surrounded Madara. She wanted to help Madara, but what could she do against a 10 foot giant flaming monster? As much as it pained her, she decided it may be for the best to stay out of this, as she still didn't know how to use her Sharingan.
Rarity, on the other hand, had a more violent idea. She figured that one of them wasn't going to leave that room alive, giving the circumstances. Madara was a sneaky one, choosing a soundproof room to do his dirty work. Rarity rushed at the skeletal monstrosity and tackled it as hard as she could with the tip of her horn, barely implying it's skeletal wall. Whatever it was made out of, it was stronger than bone marrow. A lot stronger.
Considering how fast and with how much force she attacked it, Rarity's horn ended up getting stuck in between the wall of defense. She pushed as hard as she could to gain her freedom from the raging beast, but to no avail, as Madara took this opportunity to let go of Dark Side and slam her into the ground, causing bits and pieces of concrete to fly in all directions, accompanied by some of Rarity's blood.
"Rarity!" Dark Side exclaimed. He rushed to her side and attempted to lift her up, but because of his injuries from his fight with Celestia, he could just barely lift her up onto his shoulder. When he finally did, however, this put a huge damper on his speed. His getaway time was very slow, causing him to be slammed into the air. Both of them went flying towards a wall. As Dark Side landed on a wall, he felt his back crack under the pressure of the throw. He grimaced in pain as he noticed Rarity also flying in his direction. Despite his condition, he still mustered up the strength to catch Rarity, avoiding anymore pain.
Rarity, in Dark Side's arms, looked up as her eyes blinked somewhat open. "Dark... Side?" She asked.
"Yup, that's me y'see." As he said those words, Dark Side fainted from the large amount of pain in his body.
Fluttershy noticed that oxygen was beginning to become lesser and lesser, because of the Amaterasu was swallowing up oxygen like it was water. She also noticed her surroundings. She had to deal with a giant flaming beast, flames that cannot be put out, and she had to get a brother and friend out of there before they burn to death. She was about to collapse from under the pressure until something unexpected happened.
A rainbow blur shot through the window. Rainbow Dash had noticed that there were flames surrounding the surface of the room after looking through the rooms window.
"Hi Fluttershy. Sorry I'm late. I was too busy being awesome!" Rainbow Dash said confidently.
"You've got to be kidding me. You have nothing special. Get out of here." Madara said, hinting to the fact that Rainbow Dash had no special powers.
"Oh yeah? Well try this one on for size!" Rainbow Dash rushed him, turning slightly as she didn't. Veins cover the areas around her eyes and, as they did, she saw various weak points in his armor.
"Eight Trigrams! Four Palms!" Rainbow Dash procedures to man various parts of his armor, leaving small kinks in them.
"S-stop! You idiot! Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Madara shouted as he shot a giant flaming ball out of his mouth. Rainbow Dash dodged to the side and continued her assault as the ball proceeded to explode against a wall. It almost made a hole thick enough to go into another room, but nobody still couldn't hear or see them.
"Eight Palms! Sixteen Palms!" Rainbow Dash continued to chant as she nabbed Madara's Sasunoo with unbelievable speed. It was starting to crack at this point, unable to hear the pressure of the rainbow manned-mare's assault. "Thirty-two palms!"
"Damn it!!!" Madara yelled as he proceeded to back away from his assailant, fresh out of ideas, as most of his chakra went into his other fights. Rainbow Dash, however, had other ideas. She rushed up to Madara, and, without warning, continued used her storm of jabs.
"Eight Trigrams!" She said as she reared back ward preparing her body for the strain of the next set of attacks.
"D-Damn!" Madara cursed. He knew there was nothing he could do to stop her this time. She bounded towards him at lightning speed.
"Sixty-four palms!!!" She yelled as her flurry of attacks went faster and faster, until you could barely see her hooves, which where pounding away against his armor. It started to break apart, until finally, the ribcage encasing Madara broke away, revealing Madara's surprised face. Her first was about to come in for another punch until Madara teleported to the front of the room.
"You four put up a desperate struggle. You where worthy of my time. For that, you may live. But rest assured, next time we meet, Dark Side, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow manned mare..." Madara said, listing his list of ponies to take care of. "...you will not live." He Saud slamming his hoof into the ground. As he did, he created a portal and disappeared into it.
"Wait! Who the check are you?!!" Rainbow Dash yelled aloud, but he had already left.
With that Fluttershy fainted. Rainbow Dash proceeded to grab each other them one by one and fly them out of the room. She decided it'd be better not to take them into the same hospital, given what poor staff they have. She instead took them back into Golden Oak Library where they where to recuperate.
Back in the flaming room, now lit by rays from outside where Rainbow Dash crashed in and flames, love one unconscious individual. "It's...not over yet..." said Fusaku as he got up weakly and looked outside through the curtain, and outside was one pony waiting to be allowed entrance. Fusaku rushed outside, and without thinking grabbed the pink mare's neck and took her into the room. "If you know what's good for you, you'd be quite."
"Mmmf! Mgmt!" Pinkie attempted to scream, trying to alert authorities.
"I said shut up!" Fusaku said as he slammed Pinkie Pie's head Into the ground, causing her to lose consciousness.
"I'm sorry, but this is the only way we can get my son's Sharingan. Forgive me." He Saud, knowing his request fell on deaf ears.
Madara trecked forward, looking blankly into the depths of time and space, where his portal had transported him. He began to open up a new portal, which lead to a world of Madara's making. He knew it was far from complete, but he had to make due with what he had. If project Tsuki-No-Me actually worked, this world would be the ideal world for him. It would be like a dream. A dream where you control EVERYTHING...
The world was completely covered in Dark thundercloud, erupting with violent blasts if thunder. Below the clouds sat a large castle, stretching high over the cloud layer. It was a completely black tower, that looked miserable. It reeked of misery and despair. It was said that if you listen closely, you can hear the tower moan in despair, as if it was human. That or it could be the ponies inside undergoing painful experiments.
Madara entered his castle, and after making multiple turns ended up in a giant room, decorated by flags with his face on theme. In the middle of the barren room sat a throne covered in a red cloth. Madara sat on his throne, pondering what should be his next step.
"Lord Madara!" A green mare with yellow eyes and a deep red mane came trotting in rather quickly.
"What is it? It had better be important. I'd that for you to be wasting my time. Not after last time."
"Last time?" The mare asked, confused of his reference.
Madara pointed his hoof to a corner of the room. It was a pile of bones, topped with a skull, all dyed red by blood.
"Was....that Chip Marksman?" The mare asked in a shaky voice.
"Yes. He came in here and wasted my valuable time on something very trivial. I warned him already. He should have thought." Madara said darkly, showing no sympathy for the murder he committed. "Well? What is it?"
"Lord Fusaku said he wished to have an audience with you, my Lord."
"Fine. Escort him in." Madara commanded, shaking his hoof to the door.
After a few minutes, Fusaku walked in, dragging a large bag behind him that was moving, as if something alive was desperately trying to escape. "My Lord, I have, in this bag, the key to getting us the Sharingan of those three defiant cubs." Fusaku said, showing no fear of Madara's presence.
"Well then. This is interesting. You have successfully piqued my interest. Show me." Madara commanded, quickly growing impatient, waiting for him to show him.
"Yes, sir." Fusaku used magic to until the bag and Pinkie Pie fell outward, bound up by ropes and handcuffs. Her mouth was restrained by cloth and she was bleeding in a few areas, staining her normally pink fur. Her hair had deflated.
"Isn't this one of the... "helements of armoury?" Madara asked, getting the name wrong.
"Er... your majesty? They're actually called 'elements of harmony'." The green mare said, correcting him.
"So what? Why do we need her exactly?"
"My Lord, I was thinking we have two options. One, we can use her as bait to lure in the other elements of harmony plus Dark Side, considering he is acquainted with them. Or two, you could use the Tsukyomi to force her to conform to our side. They likely wouldn't fight her, making our plan a lot easier." Fusaku explained, sharing his dastardly plans
"Hmm.. Maybe we could do a combination of both..." Madara thought aloud. While the two plotted against the Mane 6 minus Pinkie, Pinkie Pie was busy bobbing her head up and down, attempting to move the cloth away from her mouth. After several minutes of doing so, she finaly moved the cloth down ontoher neck, giving her freedom to speak.
"I'll never join you! And neither of you are ever invited to my parties ever again!" She exclaimed, failing to express her seriousness.
"Honestly, I don't care." Madara said blankly as he teleported right in front of Pinkie Pie. His eyes turned into the Sharingan and he attempted to look into her eyes. However, Pinkie Pie quickly closed her eyelids, in an attempt to avoid whatever he was going to do.
"Dammit. There's always a difficult one, isn't there? Minute Maid! Come here!" Madara said calling for the green pony from earlier.
"Yes sir?!" Minute Maid said as she saluted him.
"Make her open her eyes. I don't care how, just do it." Madara said, angry at Pinkie's impudence.
Minute Maid followed his orders, and after whispering an apology into Pinkie Pie's ear, she stomped on the side of her had, forcing her head in the ground. The pain was almost enough to make her open her eyes, but after convincing herself this was better than whatever Madara had planned, she squinted her eyes even tighter. Minute Maid forced her hoof downwards even harder, putting 3/4 of her body weight onto Pinkie's temple. This was more than enough for the pitiful-looking mare. She opened her eyes just to see an useful of the Mangekyo Sharingan. She then fell into emptiness in her mind.
As her conscience awoke, she appeared to by lying on top of water in a black lake. As she glanced around after getting up, she saw nothing but black and red and a moon staring down blankly at her. There was nothing here. She was surrounded by nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
NOTHING.
Or so she thought. As she blinked once, she realized that instead of walking on the lake, she seemed to be on a metal plate standing upward. As she glanced around to get an useful of her surroundings, she saw she was in the same place as before.
She also saw nothing was around. She was alone. Nothing else to accompany her.
"Hellooooo??? Anybody heeeerrrrrreeeeee???" Pinkie asked in a voice that was a mix of happiness and fear. Half was happy to try to lighten up the mood. Half was fearful because, well, she was in a dark world by herself. "Hmm. Guess no one else is here. "
[I"ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT, PINKIE PIE?!"
Pinkie then heard Madara's voice, but it wasn't coming from an outside force. He must've been in her MIND. Then, Madara appeared in front of her, levitating a sword.
"L-leave me alone!" Pinkie screamed, attempting to kick her feet at him. As she did multiple other exact copies of Madara began to flood the room, appearing everywhere around her. The first one then took his sword and jabbed it straight into her thigh muscle.
"AAAaaaaaaAaaaaAaaaaaAaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhh. Reassessed!!!" Pinkie's w screamed as one after another, swords dug deep into her skin. It felt like with each jab, time began to slow... meaning she felt every single ounce of pain that erupted from her cuts. "Please! Help!" She cried but it fell on deaf ears.
WELL PINKIE?! WHY DON'T YOU GIGGLE AT THE GHOSTIES?!!!!
Madara's voice came again, mocking her. Pinkie knew now.She has to join him. There is no other option. In this world Madara is in control. In this world Madara has everything.
Moonlit Madara. A name feared by many for his ruthless ways and pony experiments. Pinkamena Diane Pie. A name feared across Equestria for being a corrupt element of harmony. When the two combine what will happen? The two greatest evils acting as father and daughter. What will become of the land of Equestria? Madara sat on his throne in his dark, gloomy, and outright depressing world of his making. He sat there pondering his next move against Equestria as Pinkie Pie sat at the bottom of his throne, asleep. Her hair had long since spoofed downwards, and Madara's assistant helped her style it into something relatively simple and unexpected from the form or party pony--- a bun. While she was at it, she died her hair black, to signify that she was Madara's right hand mare, next to her. She lie there, asleep in battle armor reminiscent of Madara's, which shoulder pads and hard wood blocking to cover her stomach and pelvic area. She looked somewhat like a pink, mare version of Madara.
"Pinkamena! Awaken!" Madara commanded in a powerful voice. Pinkie Pie immediately shot upward and got into a stance reminiscent of the at attention position in the military. She did an about face and saluted Madara before asking her intimidating superior a question.
"Yes sir? Did you figure out a manner to take over Equestria?" Pinkie asked, holding her stance and keeping a straight face. There was nothing left. After Madara came along and got hold of Pinkie Pie there was nothing left. Just a hollow shell in which Madara filled it with destruction, death, and evil. She was now just a gaping hole seeping with nothing but evil.
"No. Not yet. But before I do I thought that I should tell you my plan."
"Really sir?"
"Yes. I have surmised that you can be trusted. This plan is very long and complicated so I suggest you listen up. I will. It repeat myself."
"Aye Aye sir!" Pinkie exclaimed. It seemed that even after seventy-two hours of mental torture by the Tsukyomi that she still retained a small amount of her silliness.
"Alright, before I begin, I should tell you why we will take over Equestria and kill this tyrannical leader of theirs." Madara said, referring to Celestia. "Long ago, fifty years, give or take, my son decided he would get involved with a mare from the Apple family, one of the branches of the Sinji clan, which ultimately belonged to Princess Celestia. Her name was Candy Apple. The two were virtually inseparable. It disgusted me. Love is a pitiful emotion. Love is virtually worthless. The ones you love. If your immortal, like Celestia, you see ones you love come and go. Come and go. You can never settle for anyone, knowing that one day they will die. That is most likely why Celestia is the bitch she is today. She kills without batting an eye, hiding behind the foolish facade of an innocent princess. She is worthless. I honestly wouldn't waste my time on her if not for what she...did..." Madara said, his hoof slamming into the armrest of his throne as memories plagued his mind of Celestia.
"Sir? What happened?"
"She killed Candy Apple." Madara said with the tiniest bit of sadness in his eye.
"What?! Why?!" Exclaimed Pinkie. By now she knew not to trust anyone, but Celestia was the one pony out of a select few she thought she could trust. Now she knew why Madara would clam up whenever Fusaku's wife was brought up. Or why he would get irritated whenever Celestia was brought up.
"As I said, I must tell you part of my story first. I was born in a small village a little south of Fillydelphia. As soon as I came out of my mother's womb, they discovered something very fascinating about me. As soon as I was born, my Sharingan had already awakened. Because of this, they knew I was a prodigy among the Moonlit and protected me 24/7 365. Guards always surrounded my room. Mother and Father ordered full body frisks of all who came to visit me, even little fillies or foals. As I was alone most of my time, I spent most of my days, training away. My powers grew intense. And then tragedy struck. At the age of 15, my village was attacked by the opposing village of the Sinji, a long line of alicorjs who sought to unite the whole country. My family, however, did not want this and fought until the end. By the time my parents where killed, they had murdered the guards as well. Celestia walked into my room. I immediately recognised her, as this was not the first time our village butted heads with theirs. Then, from out of nowhere, my brother appeared between us. He attempted to reason with the princess but she simply wouldn't listen. Celestia prepared to blast my brother. I was scared. That should justify what I did next. All of the sudden, I fired a giant surge of magic from my horn. It was so immense that my little brother got caught in it also. It apparently teleported the two to the moon. I never saw my brother again. But afterwards, I gained the Mangekyo, so it must have meant that I....killed him. After that atrocity, I met Midnight Masquerade. She was, as one would put it, beautiful. Even though, I still couldn't feel anything for her. She fell for me and sure enough, we ended up having two children. It was the start of a new generation of the Moonlit. Their names were Fusaku and Mila. Mare and colt. Fusaku grew up to have 3 kids, one of them's whereabouts are unknown. But two are known, two ponies you are familiar with, being Dark Side and Fluttershy. As for my daughter... She had a single child, Trixie, I believe. Before I go on, understand that I only had the kids to further my bloodline." Madara said, finishing half of the story.
"Okee-Doke--- I mean, I understand my Lord." Pinkie said. Judging by her outburst, it seems that the dark hole that is now Pinkie hadn't completely consumed herself yet.
"Now. As I told you, my daughter in law, Candy Apple was killed. Celestia believed her to be a threat to everyone around her because she used to be affiliated with my son. One day she just upped and took Fluttershy and ditched him, leaving her son. Still, her murder was unjustified, and for that she shall pay. Now, if you would remember that I sent her to the moon. While she was up there, as I read in a book, somehow some of her aura stuck to the moon's surface, making to somewhat reflective. This world. This world we inhabit right now. It is but a dream. A dream that one day we will be able to live our dreams as reality. With project Tsuki-No-Me we will not be tied down to this pathetic farce regular ponies call reality! Now, I need to get into the highest point in Equestria that has the highest concentration of magic so that I can reflect my Mangekyo of the moon. And you know where that is! Canterlot Castle! Everyone will have to submit to eternal Tsukyomi. But it will be different from the one I used on you. In this one it will be a dream state. You can do or be anything! It is the perfect reality!" Madara shouted, finishing up his speech.
Pinkie clopped her front hooves together. "Good show! Jolly good show!--- I mean, very inspirational, my Lord."
"Pinkamena, is something wrong? You have been acting like you have to consciousness."
"Yes sir, everything us alright."
"Well prepare for tomorrow. Tomorrow we start the first phase of Project Tsuki-No-Me! We murder Celestia and take her castle!"
Starshooter looked into the sky. He was on a mountain not very far from his village. His people.
Technically they weren't his people though. They were a tribe that found him long ago, almost dead. He thought back. He wanted to know what happened. He decided to retrace his past steps.
Several years earlier
"You will do as I say Candy Apple! I am your husband and thus, your superior!" Fusaku yelled angrily at his wife, Candy Apple. She was a brown mare with a red and brown mane mixture. Her eyes flashed a bright yellow color. She was stunning. Probably more beautiful than Rarity. She was the mare that all stallions wanted. She was Fusaku's wife.
"I'm sorry... but I cannot allow you to berate my child anymore!" She shot back a bit shyly as a filly in her arms started bawling. The filly was yellow with a light pink mane curled up at its tips. Her eyes flashed a blue hue and her bawling was very quiet, something she must have inherited from her mother, being very soft-spoken.
As the two snickered back and forth Starshooter and his brother Dark Side were in the corner of the room playing Unicorn, Pegasus, Earth. Pegasus beat Earth. Unicorn beat Pegasus. Earth beat Unicorn. It was basically a pony rock paper scissors. The two used magic to manifest images of the pony chosen to play.
"Earth!"
"Unicorn!" The two of the yelled out simultaneously, Dark Side losing once again.
"Screw this! This game is rigged y'see!" Dark Side exclaimed, but his voice was drowned out by his father's overly demanding voice.
"She will be mine. Your playing with fire here bitch! I have many allies. You cannot outrun the Moonlit!" Screamed Fusaku.
"Wanna bet!?" Screamed Candy Apple softly as she grabbed a vase of a nearby shelf and whacked Madara upside the head with it, causing soft loomy soil to scatter across the usually sparkly clean tiled floor.
Fusaku didn't get a chance to retaliate as he got knocked out on impact, slipping away into a coma-like state. Dark Side and Starshooter looked up from their competition and noticed their mother shoot out of the door, Fluttershy in her hooves.
"I have a feeling Dad's gonna kick our mass if we don't, Er, catch them...I guess...y'know?" Dark Side said, unsure of what to do in this situation.
Starshooter scratched the back of his short mane with his hoof. "Yeah...we might want to do that."
And with that, Starshooter zipped through the air, spreading his wings outward as he glided outward and made a quick turn to leave the house, Dark Side flanking him as he did. Dark Side placed a spell on his hooves that lightened his weight, allowing him to move just as fast as Starshooter. The two darted out the door. As their eyes swept the lush grassy landscape, they couldn't see Candy Apple, let alone Fluttershy.
"Damn!" Dark Side swore, slamming his hoof into the ground, somewhat scaring his meek little brother. "Y'know what? You check Canterlot and I'll check the forest. Ready break!" Dark Side said, his brother having no chance to rebut as he shot off into the dark woods that sprawled behind their house. As he did, Starshooter had no choice but to check Canterlot, so he flew over the two mountains that surrounded the house and landed in the busy streets of Canterlot. He glanced around, taking in the rich atmosphere of the area. And then, in the distance, he heard a vague crying sound.
"Don't worry, Shy... mommy's here..." Starshooter heard coming from a corner leading to a barely lit alley. As he looked between the narrow walkway, he saw Candy Apple, her normally well groomed mane tattered and torn in several places as if she had fallen of something. As Starshooter glanced into her arms, he saw his little sister, a medium sized scrape mark on her head, gushing out blood. Candy Apple continued to stroke the mane of her injured foal before Starshooter spoke up.
"Well. I see my sister's in a bit of a bind." He said, knowing that he had to bring them back.
There's no need for that Starshooter...
"Huh? Grandfather?!" Starshooter exclaimed as Madara appeared out of the shadows, literally out of nowhere.
"How Did you find me?!" Candy Apple yelled at Madara, scooting backwards out of fear for Fluttershy's life.
"I can sense magic you know. Not only that but I can also sense chakra." Madara said blankly.
"I wish I never let you give me or my children chakra!" Candy Apple yelled as she continued to scooch backward until she hit wall.
"This wouldn't be a problem if you hadn't used the sacred art. Using the Art of Rinne Rebirth on Fluttershy was not a good choice."
As he said that his eyes formed the Mangekyo Sharingan, somehow forcing Candy Apple's eyes into a Sharingan.
Dark Side trotted slowly into the cold, threatening room. There was a large table in the middle, holding some of the best minds in Equestria. Each of them turned their head as Dark Side made his way to the ten foot chair where it looked like someone of importance would reside.
Dark Side walked in wearing a red uniform with a plain black shirt underneath and has multiple silver items on his shirt that looked like badges. His right foreleg was obscured by a white gauze, indicating he may have broken sprained something. His hair was also also a bit tattered, unpleasant it usually is, neat and clean.
Dark Side sat down calmly in the cold chair. A black magic aura surrounded a nearby gavel as he slammed it onto the pedestal in front of him. He then proceeded to cross his front forelegs on the pedestal.
"This meeting of the Proscecutorial Investigation Committee will now come to order!" Dark Side said loudly as his words attracted the attention of the rest of the individual in the room. All heads turned his way and he then noticed a few distinctions from the rest of them.
One was Twilight Sparkle, which was very shocking, considering she was a defense attorney. Not only that, but she seemed to be looking at him like she was puzzled about something. For whatever reason she tied her bangs in the back of her head into a ponytail and she wore reading glasses. Dark Side figured she must've heard that the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee oversaw and had the authority to pass on or deny any laws a leader of Equestria makes. She must've heard today's topic would be chakra control.
Another standout was a wolf, his back against a wall at the door of the room. He had a white pelt and Dark green eyes. He also had a badge on, indicating he was with the International Royal Guard. Dark Side recognized him as Kiba Lang, and old friend of his. Very often he was arrogant and a bit self-centered but he was as always loyal to those that he trusts, making him the ideal choice for the Assistant Captain of the Royal Guard.
The last individual that stood out was a bit unprecedented.
Starshooter. In the front right seat of the committee table was his long lost younger brother. Dark Side wasn't even sure how he got in there, considering he had next to nothing to do with Equestrian law. He looked at Dark Side quizzically, as if he wasn't sure what to make of him. It has been awhile since they'd seen each other. He broke all contract with his family when Dark Side started prosecuting. That. Would mean he was missing for about 8 years.
"The first subject that Princess Luna wanted us to discuss is Chakra control. In the absence of Princess Celestia, Luna now makes the calls for what this committee is to discuss. So I adhere you all to abide by this and answer all questions truthfully, as this is a very highly controversial topic." Dark Side explained in a regal tone, indicating how deadly serious. He was going to take this topic.
Twilight Sparkle's eyes widened as she heard the word 'Chakra' mentioned and it looked as though she was about to say something but she apparently had second thoughts, and shook off the urge to object.
"Now then. You all know what Chakra is, I trust. But in the presence of the new council witness, Starshooter, who is sitting to my far right," Dark Side explained, mentioning a hoof at his distraught-looking younger brother, who stood up so that everypony in the room knew who he was. "Chakra resides in...a select few ponies bodies. In order for a pony to have chakra, they must have been either born from the blood of one of the Royal families, whether it be Senji or Moonlit, or they must've been transferred it by someone who has it. Do you understand Starshooter? I won't go further unless you do y'know?" Dark Side asked, to which the teal pony responded with his head nodding.
"Sonata!" Dark Side called as his most trusted assistant trotted up to his seat. "Please bring me the brief regarding this meeting and a cup of coffee with sugar cubes on the side.
"Yes sir." Sonata responded leaving the room and coming back a few seconds afterwards, green magic surrounding a teacup set and a royal scroll. She sat the both of them down in front of Dark Side before bowing and leaving the room, but not before Dark Side thanked her.
"The brief hereby states that we consider the....elimination of all witholders of chakra?!" Dark Side exclaimed in surprise. He figured eventually one of the princesses would pull something like this. But what they didn't know is that Dark Side is the highest ranking official in the law department, so he technically had the final say, even though he could be overridden by the rest of the council if more than 3/4 were to vote in favor.
"Wait Dark Side." Started Kiba Lang from the corner as he trotted out towards the table. "Maybe you just misinterpreted that. Why would she want to rid the world of holders of Chakra? If she did that the Royal Guard would..." Kiba trailed off as he saw the overly serious look Dark Side had on his face. He knew Dark Side wasn't in the mood for assumptions that weren't supported by valid evidence.
"I am absolutely sure that this is what she is suggesting. Thinking it over, it seems she's trying to make the world peaceful as it once was, considering it's state before Chakra was introduced. But we must not overclock the fact that Luna's Chakra control abilities have also come into question in the past. That Nightmare Moon incident shall not be forgotten for many years to come." Dark Side explained, trying to sway the members of the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee to vote against Luna's proposal.
"I will allow a fifteen minute break and everyone's choices must be decided by then, so if not, you will be apprehended by Sir Lang over there for interrupting an international investigation. This meeting will hereby reconvene in fifteen minutes. The meeting is now adjourned!" Dark Side stated, slamming the gavel onto the pedestal once more, signifying that the meeting was over, for now at least.
Dark Side retreated from his seat behind the pedestal only to be confronted by his little l e brother.
"Dark Side?" Asked Starshooter, still unsure whether to call him that or not.
"Yeah Starshooter. How you been?" Dark Side asked his little brother. He hadn't seen him ever since he was a little colt, when the two fought Madara to protect Fluttershy. But that was a story for another time. Starshooter hadn't changed much. He still had that distinct teal coat, same dandelion hair, same dark red eyes. It seemed like he literally had not changed in the least, besides his height.
"I um...need to know what happened to mother!" Starshooter said shyly at first but determined to get his answer.
"Well, uh, y'know...Y'see? Um... the uh." Dark Side said struggling to find the right words. All of the sudden, there was a giant explosion sound, followed by a scream of a mare.
"Who?!" Starshooter exclaimed
"I dunno but we gotta go see! C'mon!" Dark Side yelled back jogging into the foyer in record time. As his raced down the stairs he saw blood on the ground below. As his hooves hit the marble floor below him, he noticed that he had stepped in blood. Then he noticed the owner of the blood.
Twilight zoomed past him and leaned her ear onto the fallen dark blue alicorn's unmoving body.
"She's... dead..." Twilight said in a low murder mourning the death of Princess Luna.
"This isn't possible...!" Dark Side said, clearly in disbelief.
As they all stood there in utter disbelief, a bell rung, indicating the reconvention of the meeting.
"Dark Side. Get everyone inside of the meeting room. It couldn't have been anyone but someone in the building NOW!" Kiba screamed at Dark Side.
"Everyone in!" Dark Side said leading everyone back into the room.
"This meeting of the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee will now hereby reconvene!" Dark Side stated loudly, slamming the gavel onto the pedestal once again.
Everypony in the room looked very distraught, which is understandable, seeing the corpse of one of the most powerful alicorn's in existence. The power it must've taken to kill her...
"Kiba! Did you get in contact with the Wolf Squadron?" Dark Side asked the Assistant Leader of the Royal Guard.
"Unfortunately not. For now we have to be on lockdown until the meeting is over. This meeting's in a secret place. No one even knows we're here." Kiba Lang explained, his dark words not helping soothe everybody's worries.
"Hmph. It seems that we will all be stuck here. Personally I don't give a flying crap about her death." Dark Side stated showing his immense hatred for Luna. That probably wasn't the smartest thing to say.
"It was...you wasn't it?" Twilight said, her voice unusually hoarse.
"....I, like just about everyone else have an alibi. Correct brother?" Dark Side asked his brother turning his head a bit to get a view of his brother as he nodded in agreement.
"He was with me." Starshooter said tilting his head as he noticed Twilight scratching some kind of symbol onto the desk in front of her, or that's what his Sharingan Saud at least. It looked like a star surrounded by multiple other geometric shapes. It looked somewhat familiar to Starshooter but he couldn't put his hoof on it.
"I don't believe either of you!" Twilight exclaimed. "You two are blood! He'd probably lie for your sake!" She said growing more and more angry. First Pinkie Pie disappears without a trace, now Princess Luna is dead.
"...Twilight. There are too many questions left unanswered to make blatant accusations. First is why she was here in the first place. Only I, the counsel members, Celestia, and Shining Armor know of this place. Luna nor Princess Cadence know of its existence. Next is why she was here. Even if she knew about the place, which I doubt she did, she would have no reason to come here. Ever since Shining Armor allowed me to take over this council I nor the members of the committee ever let word leak, even to somepony like the Princess. Finally, what motive do I have to kill her? Considering her power I highly doubt that I could take her out on my own, even given my high ranking use in Ninjutsu." Dark Side calculated, further proving his point. But Twilight was blinded by her anger. She was angry, confused, and all around sad. She didn't know what to think. A she could think was revenge.
Let it all out Twilight
Twilight clutched head between her hooves and the table, her right hoof scratching something onto the table. "Whos there?!" Twilight asked aloud.
"No one said anything Twilight." Starshooter said with a concerned look on her face.
Dark Side was the only one who could have done it
The voice came again, this time more clear. It was obviously the voice of a stallion. It was deep and menacing, a voice that sent chills down her spine. She shivered as her right hoof finished scratching a peculiar Mark in the table.
"What's that supposed to be?" Dark Side asked quizzically.
Dark Side had motive and opportunity. DO IT!
The voice now was commanding and forceful. Twilight couldn't take it anymore. She slammed both of her front hooves on the metal table in front of her. What ensued was a giant metallic Sharp object materialized out of the table as she used both hooves to grab hold of it and she rushed Dark Side, jumping on the table and trotting towards him at her fastest, which, note, was not very fast.
Dark Side was a bit surprised at first but quickly overcame it and launched his counter strike. He focused all the chakra in his body into the tips of his hooves.
"Earth Style: Mud Wall!" Dark Side exclaimed as the ground and soil under the marble exploded upward, creating a shield for Dark Side and trapping Twilight's front hooves. She struggled very harshly as the emotional buildup provokes her to the fullest extent. As of then there was no logic or reasoning left. Just a violent shell willing to do whatever a voice told it.
Kill Him!
Dark Side rushed around the wall of slick and soil next to Starshooter.
"You alright Starshooter?" Dark Side asked he watched Twilight squirm. She was flinching backward very hard. The soil around her hooves began to loosen.
"Yeah...what's wrong with her?!" Starshooter asked, his eyes taking the form of Sharingan as Dark Side did the same.
"I don't know! She's probably being controlled by somepony!" Dark Side yelled back, using a bit of Chakra to harden the soil, but to no avail. Twilight flinched backward one last time, this time breaking free of her restraints and rushing Dark Side once more.
Dark Side ran to a corner of the room as the other members of the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee watched in fear of the crazed pony. Starshooter looked backward to the committee and spotted one pony who looked as though she has no concern for what was happening,rather, she was smirking. Her hair was a blueish inky color to match her ink-themed coat. Her eyes were also blue, but a different hue. For whatever reason, Starshooter thought this as strange, considering her colors all over.
Dark Side wrestled Twilight down, keeping her restrained and taking the brandished weapon away from her.
"Calm down already, y'know?!" Dark Side exclaimed, trying to get her to snap out of the trance.
Kiba Lang trotted up to the two ponies and assisted Dark Side in keeping the restraints on her as Dark Side put an anti-magic spell on Twilight.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!" Starshooter shot a water Dragon through his hooves directly at the suspicious pony. It smashed into her at blinding speed, slamming her into the wall on the west end of the room.
"Starshooter?! What'd ya do that for?!" Dark Side exclaimed. "I'm gonna have to pay for that y'know?!"
Starshooter didn't answer as the soaked target hit the ground with a THUD. Blue paint spilled onto the ground, coloring the water dark blue. It was revealed to be a pink pony, hair dripping wet. She looked up angrily.
"How did you know?!" Pinkamena screamed at Starshooter.
"This Sharingan isn't just for show y'know?" Starshooter said a bit arrogantly, Out of his character.
"Well then. I guess it has come to this. I should've made my escape." Pinkamena said, lamenting her fatal mistake.
The rest of the committee started at Pinkamena in silence. They didn't know what to make of what just happened. For the most part, the committee was as confused as the others.
As the water continued to rush down Pinkamena's mane a flash shard stained with blood fell out of her mane.
"You...did it?" Starshooter asked in surprise. He wasn't expecting her to have actually done it. Luna still seemed far too powerful to have been defeated by a mere earth pony.
"Well. No point denying it now. Sure I did it. So what?"
"What?! How?!" Dark Side exclaimed, turning his head their way, taking his attention of Twilight, earning him a hoof to the face. "Owch! What the hell?!" Dark Side swore as he held all of her ligaments down to prevent any further damage
"It was quite easy. Especially when you can do this." Pinkamena said as she ran toward Starshooter and hopped onto his neck.
"Wha-?!" Starshooter Saud, baffled at her actions. Pinkamena stretched her neck far backward, impossibly far.
"Gum-Gum!" She shouted as her head suddenly went flying toward at record speed. "BELL!" She exclaimed as her head made direct impact again Starshooter's, knocking a tooth out of his mouth.
"Augh!" Starshooter cried in pain as he went flying backward.
"Starshooter!" Dark Side exclaimed, letting go of Twilight to rush at Pinkamena. "Fire Style: Moonlit Bullet!" Dark Side exclaimed as he shot a large Dragon head fire blaze at Pinkamena.
"Huh! Child's Play!" Pinkamena said as she inflated her whole body, letting the flame hit her, as it flattened her stomach.
"Gum-Gum! Bounder!" She exclaimed as she somehow shot the bullet back at Dark Side as it exploded on impact. Dark Side flew out of the top of the building, the making the roof and landing in the streets of Canterlot. Multiple nobles and aristocrats flinched backward as some of them rushed to his aid.
"And so that's why I think it would be fantastic to display the dress in your shop!" Said Rarity to Sapphire Shores as the two walked down the streets of Canterlot, spotting a large group of ponies.
Rarity excused herself and asked some ponies what was happening.
"This guy just came flying out of the Princesses castle! He's hurt pretty bad!" Exclaimed a red manned stallion in a business suit. Rarity vaguely recalled Dark Side having to go there for a meeting, but she didn't know the details. She silently prayed that it wasn't Dark Side as she squeezed through the crowd.
"D-Dark Side!" Rarity exclaimed, running up to him, hugging his bloody head right.
"Huh. This is the second time this happened. Talk about deja vu." Dark Side said hoarsely as he grinned to himself. He then closed his eyes and fell out.
Rarity held him close, smoothing out his burnt coat as she wept.
Luna sat in the lonely seat of her throneroom. She glanced over, looking over her sister's empty throne, mulling over the fact that her sister may likely never return. She looked downward sorrowfully.
"Its all my fault." She muttered, placing a hoof on her temple.
"It sure is." Said a voice from outside the throneroom. The door swung open violently, as the bodies of two royal nightguards were thrown into the room, landing on the ground, their eyes ruled back. After them, a lone stallion walked into the throneroom. He had a long black mane and wore red worn out body armor.
"Madara..." Luna growled angrily as a tear formed in her eye over the death of her subordinates. "Why art thy here?!"
"I'm here to get rid of you, of course. Fluttershy took care of the major problem, Celestia. Now just to get rid of the second inconsistency in this equation. You." Madara said, pointing a hoof at Luna.
"How dare you! So you planned that?!"
"But of course I did. What, do you think I didn't plan for all of this? From Dark Side moving in to Fluttershy awakening the Sharingan, I planned it. I put the murderous thoughts into Angel Bunny's mind. I sold Rarity Dark Side's Sharingan. I made sure Celestia wouldn't come back! It was all me! What, you didn't expect this to happen? What are you stupid?" Madara taunted with a crazed look on his face.
Luna cocked her head. "So what your saying is you caused this...?"
"Yup. But that doesn't matter to someone who likely won't liveliest today." Madara said sinisterly.
Luna flinched backward in her throne as Madara sped at her at lightning speed, biting a kunai knife in his mouth as he jammed it into her abdomen.
Luna flinched backward, tears rolling down her face as she retaliated by goofing Madara in the head, causing him to fly off her and smack onto the floor. He leaned up, grinning as his mouth puffed up.
He blew a large Dragon shaped head out of his mouth as he shouted, "Fire Style! Moonlit Flame!"
The flame flew at rocket speed, burning the air around it until the oxygen itself had evaporated, leaving nothing but thick black smoke. Luna's eyes widened at the flaming ball of Chakra rushing at her as she braced herself, knowing very well this could possibly spell the end of her.
The flaming beast smacked into Luna at lightning speed, sending her rocketing to the side, offer her throne as she smacked her head straight on Celestia's throne, knocking her out.
"Well, Lord Madara, what a mess." Said a voice coming from the torn open door. Madara did not even have to look to know it was Pinkamena, but he glanced over anyways. She was covered in blue ink, and her hair still covered her eyes like curtains.
"Are you ready to execute Phase 2 my Lord?"
"Yes. The Prosecutorial Investigation Committee should be meeting sometime soon. It is of utmost importance that you are present. Dark Side's decision on Chakra could deeply threaten the security of my plan." Madara said, tossing his dark mane back ward and wiping blood of his pale red cracking armor.
Pinkamena took her position next to Luna and readied herself.
"You must be quick though. Teleporting Luna might make a bit of noise."
"I assure you I will be swift, sir." Pinkamena assured with a small grin on her pale pink face.
Madara shot a Dark blue magic blast at Pinkamena and Luna, encasing the two in a Dark blue matter substance. They then swiftly teleported to the secret tower in Canterlot Gardens. Whilst reappearing, Pinkamena heard a large crack sound, indicating her arrival. She boosted up the stairs, only to be met by a distraught Starshooter. She put a hoof up to her muzzle playfully as she zipped past him, blending in with the dark blue walls.
"What the hell?!" Dark Side exclaimed from downstairs.
Pinkamena grinned as she slipped into the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee Meeting Room. She swiftly snatched up a document on Dark Side's desk.
"Documentation of previous misuses of Chakra huh?" Pinkamena read aloud. "Seems like a bingo book. Is this what Madara wanted?" Pinkamena wondered aloud. "Hmm.. let's see. Misuses of Sharingan. Toni Moonlit... Fusaku Moonlit..... huh? Hitachi Moonlit? That... sounds familiar somehow. Status at large? Last seen in Ponyville? Dark Side's older brother?!" She exclaimed a bit loudly as she read the relatives list.
"Ill have to overview this later. It might be best if I take this." Pinkamena said as she quickly shoved the booklet into her mane. She then took her seat as Dark Side entered the door to the meeting room. He then sat in his seat.
"The Prosecutorial Investigation Committee meeting shall now reconvene!" Dark Side announced.
Dark Side trotted alongside Rarity through an open plot of dirt. His right eye was covered in bandages and he had to walk on a mini stilt on his leg. His face had a few bandages on it and he had an angry or annoyed expression on his face. With Dark Side it could be anything. He stopped trotting and focused his annoyed glance on his marefriend.
"Y'know it's not exactly good for me to be walking and I have two leg injuries." He said in a mix of sarcasm and anger.
"Dark Side! How dare you take that tone with me! Bullying little ol' me, just because I wanted to take a walk with my lover!" Rarity said in her usual mix of sarcasm and formality. She swiped her head to the left to signal to Dark Side that she was done with the subject.
"If we're 'just on a walk' then why do you have me looking for gems? And why in hell would we take a walk in an empty plot full of holes? Kinda counterproductive don't ya'think y'know?" Dark Side said, making an attempt to ascertain his point. In response, Rarity turned and looked at him quizzically, putting a hoof to her chin.
"Well, darling, when you say it like that it makes me seem a bit stupid." Rarity said, avoid doing Dark Side's gaze. She knew what he would look like.
Dark Side grinned a small grin as he lifted a Hoff and shook it side to side quickly, as if it was a disapproving human digit. "Keh heh heh. It seems you see my point, judging by how your ignoring me."
Rarity scratched the back of her mane and looked back at him with a guilty grin on her face. "Heh... sorry Dark Side."
Dark Side sighed. "Its alright. It's probably just the sudden shock of being injured that made me so... angered." She hugged him as the two kept walking. "Hey, there's something below here..." Dark Side said as he blended down to investigate the ear-like thing sticking from the ground.
"Earth Style! Headhunter Jutsu!" Dark Side heard this as his back hooves were grabbed by hairy individuals. He was pulled into the ground with His head poking from the altered rubble. His eyes widened as he analyzed the situation. A giant gray dog came into his as sight of vision wearing a brown vest. Both of their eyes locked as Dark Side struggled to maintain his composure.
Rarity, on the other hand, was running for dear life. Unfortunately, a small dog wearing a collar was too fast for her and captured her with virtually no sweat.
"I thought we had a deal Diamond Dogs!" Yelled Rarity angrily.
"We did, but we had a much better offer for your heads. One measly diamond would not account for the large sum Lord Madara played us." Said an ominous raspy voice, as a third Diamond Dog dug itself upward from the ground. It had a massive sword on its back, and it's green eyes sent chills down Rarity's spine.
"You've gotta be kidding me. Why is it always me?!" Yelled Dark Side angrily. "I swear if I wasn't in this dirt all three of your asses would be mine!"
"I'm sure they would, Dark Side. But, we have a pretty little surprise if you still believe that." Rover said as he pulled his sword from his back. It had a small circular cut on the top, while the dark gray body of the sword shone in the sunlight. Afterwards, Fido, the large dog, pulled out another sword, this one wrapped almost entirely in a paper-like material, except for a part at the top, where it seemed blue skin was poking out. Finally, Spot, the small one, pulled out a sword, this one looking like a regular sword except for a brown snake design on the handle.
"Wha---! Man eater?! Sameheda?! And Snakeskin?! How did---?"
"Madara gave us a little, uh, consolation for doing this.' Rover said with a devilish smile.
[Back at Fluttershy's Cottage]
Starshooter picked up his small cup, containing tea. The sugar he put in there melted within seconds. He sipped it, the warmth somewhat soothing his anxious personality. He put the cup down with a delighted sigh.
"Oh, um, is something wrong?" Fluttershy asked, hoping the tea she made was adequate.
"No, nothing's wrong, with your tea, at least. Um, Fluttershy, have you heard of sibling intuition?" Starshooter asked Fluttershy.
"Isn't that where you can sense mentally whether something is wrong with your siblings? Kind of...mentally?"
"Yes...I think I'm having that right now. Does Rarity have any enemies or rivals?" Starshooter asked, worry filling is expression.
"None that directly come to mind. Maybe the Diamond Dogs?" Fluttershy guessed, recalling the events of that incident almost a year earlier.
"And where did they go?"
"I heard Rarity sy they'd be looking for ge---" As the realization hit her, both Fluttershy's and Starshooter's teacups hit the ground and burst open, allowing the brown liquid to escape onto Fluttershy's floorboards. They both darted out of the house a almost knowing dangerous afoot.
Little did they know, someone was waiting for them to show up. Two twin brothers hired by Madara...
Pinkamena walked through the seemingly never-ending halls of Madara's castle. His face was plastered in picture frames around her. She figured she would get used to it but by now, it was getting disturbing. Madara's Sharingan eyes seemed to pierce her head like icicle daggers hanging menacingly from a cave's top entrance.
"To think he's a narcissist." Pinkamena wondered out loud before jamming her hoof against her mouth, realizing she said that a bit too loud. She continued her trot, but at a slower pace down the hallway. Eventually she came across a room that was glowing with blue light. Curiosity struck her, as Madara skipped over a few rooms in her run through of the castle. Unbeknownst to her that what was behind that door was an evil not to be reckoned with.
"Hmmm...." Pinkamena's curiosity overtook her and she opened the door to the room, quickly pulling out a badge from her hair that gave her clearance to every room in the building, with a few exceptions. She wrapped it around her neck so that it would hang in front of her breast, signature procedure, and walked completely I n to the room.
As Pinkamena entered the surprisingly dimly lit room, she hit her head on a pipe. She stumbled backward, a bit confused of why there would be a pipe floating in the air like that. She regained her balance, and trotted forward, this time ducking under the pipe, and resumed walking inside the room. As she got deeper into the menagerie of pipes and lines, she noticed birthright had begun to get brighter as she went in, and occasionally, a giant flare of blue light struck. Whatever was in there had officially piqued her curiosity.
"One of Twilight's light spells would be great right now." Pinkamena said annoyed before shaking her head. "I shouldn't be thinking about them right now. They'll understand. Madara's plan is for the best of all the ponies that reside in Equestria and elsewhere. The dream world will be the perfect world. I'll allow no one, not even them to get in the way of everybody's dreams!" Pinkamena said with fire in her eyes. She was determined that Madara's dream would become a reality.
Eventually, after five or ten more minutes of walking, she got into the central area of the room. The area was riddled with pipes and metal scaling that all went backward to a giant container-like object with water inside of it. What was inside the container, Pinkamena could not tell however. It looked simply like a pale blob with no other features whatsoever.
Pinkamena tapped on the glass, hoping to get a response. "Hello? You alive in there?" She repeated this for about a dozen times until she got a response.
The blob swirled around in the aquatic prison of which it had fallen victim to for a bit and then turned around. It opened its eye. It bad one eye, which was a gigantic Sharingan eye. It squinted its singular eye at Pinkamena, as trying to figure out what to make of her. She started at it back, as if they were in a staring contest.
The massive life form finally spoke, but not normally, instead using telepathy, since it had no mouth. "I AM ZERO."
"Whoah, cool!" Exclaimed Pinkamena, jumping up and down. "How'd you even get here?!"
"MADARA MADE THIS LIFE FORM STRICTLY FROM DARK MATTER, CREATING ME. HE THEN INSCERTED A SHARINGAN EYE, TO ENSURE I WOULD BE RELIABLE BACKUP." Zero said, a bit out of contempt. It seemed angry that Madara thought of it only as a back up plan. "NO MATTER. I WAS CREATED BY HIM. THEREFORE I SHALL COMPPETE. THE MISSSION VECTORED BY HIM."
"Wow, really?! So...what can you do?! Can you teleport, create things, fly, levitate, shoot lasers, copy things...!" Pinkamena yelled quickly, but after realizing this, she covered her mouth, realizing she was acting like her original form. "No. I'm not that anymore." She thought to herself. She came up with this exercise to subdue her 'Goody-Two-Shoes', as she called it, side from coming out. She would just do breathing and brain exercises in order to calm herself down.
Zero opened his eye fully. "I AM ZERO. POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS WHEN YOU CAN BACK WHATEVER YOU DESIRE. DARK MATTER CAN MAKE ANYTHING. " Zero said menacingly, his tone amplified through the telepathy.
"So...when is he gonna use you? I highly doubt he's just gonna keep ya locked up in here." Pinkamena said, now wanting to seed this thing in action.
Zero seemingly rolled his eye. "I AM ZERO. I WAS CREATED AS A BACKUP PLAN IN CASE THE ETERNAL TSUKI-NO-ME PLAN FAILS. IF IT DOES, MADARA WOULD LET ME FREE TK WREAK HAVOC AMONG THE DENEZINS OF EQUESTRIA. WHEN DONE HERE MADARA CLAIMED THAT WE WOULD CONQUER OTHER UNIVERSES. IT IS ADVISED THAT THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY GIVE UP NOW."
"Oh. I'm sure they won't be doing anything anytime soon." Pinkamena said menacingly as she pulled out a golden necklace with a gem in the middle, shaped like her cutie mark. "As long as they don't have this... they won't be able to defend themselves..."
Zero closed his eye. "YOU HAVE SIMPLIFIED MY JOB. FOR THAT I THANK YOU, AND BESTOW UPON YOU THIS."
A small, black, cyclones creature teleported next to Pinkamena. It had no arms or legs, and instead, floated. It was completely black except for a few yellow lumps on it's back.
"Huh? What's this?"
Zero's eye remained closed. "THAT IS DARK MATTER. IT IS A PART OF ME. USE IT WHENEVER YOU ARE IN DANGER. NOW ENTERING RIGOR MORTIS...." . It went to sleep.
Madara sat on his throne, looking blankly at the multiple flags that hung from his castle walls, moss somewhat covering the surfaces of them. Pinkamena was lying on the floor of his throne asleep, her mane axting as a makeshift curtain, shadowing the light world she shunned herself from.
Madara was lost in thought. He was not sure what to do. He knew something had felt different from the time he let Pinkamena walk around his abode on her own. Could she have found Zero? Could she have found his secret supply of backups?.
"No... thats impossible." Madara said, attempting to calm himself from thinking too quickly and unstrategetically.
He looked down on Pinkamena, who was embraced tightly in the Dream world's embrace.
[Pinkamena's Dreams]
"Where... am I?" Pinkamena mumbled, batting here eyes awake. She was lying on nothing. Literally nothing. Everything around here was red and black and some faces even looked at here in the confusion.
Pinkamena stood up on her hund kegs and started to trot through the hellish abyss. Normally Pinkie Pie would've had a heart attack at sights like these, but luckily she had givin up on all emotion.
"Hello. Pinkamena." Pinkamena heard a voice come from behind, prompting her to turn around. She saw a black and red pony with deep dark hair. He had the Sharingan eyes, and Pinkamena recalled he looked just like Fugasaku.
"I am Moonlit Hitachi."
"Your----?!"
[Madara's Castle, Science Department]
"Good morning Dr. Albert." Fusaku said, walking into the veil encased room, with robot bases in each one. It was also packed with weapon materials, such as high-tech guns and the like.
"Good morning sir. Im just putting on the finishing touches on the robot Lord Madara ordered. It was a challenge, but it seems like it will ne a mighty fine robot.
The robot seemed almost done, as the only exposed part was a section of his head, specifically the upper right portion. The left portion had a sharp boomerang design, but the other side was missing. On its hands, save for the left one, which had a mechanical blaster attached to it, had the same boomerang designs, hinting that a boomerang would be the robot's weapon. It had a rocket booster design on it's feet, seeming to allow it to fly. It's eyes were closed with red eyelids. It's eyes then suddenly shot open as Dr Albert pulled a plug that was connecting him to an electric circuit. He sat up, first looking around and taking in his surroundings. He then focused his attention on the two ponies in front of him, frowning a bit as he did.
"...Where?" The cyborg said, somewhat surprising Fugaku as he did.
"I can see why your surprised. In all my robots, I install a pony speech processing chip so we can communicate and give orders." Dr Albert explained, tapping his glasses as he did.
"That's...intriguing." Fusaku said, still taking in the robot.
The robot glanced over at Dr Albert. "Where?!" It said a bit louder, its face, for some reason, filled with worry.
"Do not be afraid. You are with allies." Said Dr Albert in a collected voice.
"But there is only two of us here..." Fusaku started, but was then cut off by Dr Albert as he raised a hoof.
As he did so multiple glowing red eyes appeared behind the pair, some taller than both of them and some lower.
"Yes...your with family here. You were created by I, Dr Albert. And the robots behind me. They are your brothers. Your name, from now on. Is....Quick Man." Dr Albert finished waving his hoof in front of him.
Quick man looked at his arms and around his new body. It was obvious he hadn't seen the world until now. He glanced at the rest of his comrades before turning back onto himself.
A knock then came on the door as Moonlit Madara walked inside. "Are my weapons do---" Madara didn't finish his sentence as a sharp boomerang shaped dagger pierced the wall next to him causing a sharp mark in the wall. Madara's eyes widened at this sight. He looked into the dark room, seeing a humanoid designed robot holding his fist out with a small incision on the top, emitting smoke. It was clear he fired it.
"Your only purpose..." Dr Albert began.
"Is to kill Dark Side!" Quick Man finished, a glare in his eye.
[Sweet Apple Acres]
Applejack sat alone in the middle of her barn, Winona prancing around her, attempting to get het to play with her. She was, unfortunately, tired from applebucking all day.
"Not right now, Winona." She said in a tired voice.
"What's wrong little apple?"
A voice came, seemingly out of nowhere. Applejack looked around the barn, finding nopony in sight who could have said it.
"Tired aren't ya?" Asked a somewhat similar voice, coming from the same apparent direction as the other one.
"Who's there?! Applejack saud loudly, a bit of worry in her voice as she began to recall the voices. "Don't make me!"
"What little apple? Who else did you expect?" Flim said, nonchalantly taking Applejack's hat off her head and placing it on his. He was wearing something different from his original attire. He wore black and red robes with blood red clouds on them. He had a crazed look on his face, seeming far out of character. He waved his hoof, signaling his twin brother, only distinguishable by facial hair, from the shadows.
Flam wore the same outfit as Flam, albiet it was a lot more wrinkled due to the fact that he is a lot less organised. He had the same crazed expression on his face.
The two seemed seemingly identical, only distiguished by their facial hairs and the absensce of a hood on one of their uniforms. Flim tilted Applejack's hat over his eyes and flashed an overconfident grin.
"Ah though Granny Smith tol' you two not to come back!" Applejack snapped as a futile attempt at intimidating the two antagonizing colts. Flim smiled evily as he completely took off Applejack's hat, tossing it to the floor.
"Oh please!" Started Flam, taking words straight from his twin brother's mouth. "Do we really care what some old bat tells us?"
"Old bat?!" Exclaimed Applejack, somewhat angrily as they offended her elderly motherly figure.
"What you expect us to show her any respect in the least. Please." Flim said shaking his head omniously. He then waved his hoof in the air, as if signaling for something or someone. Then, as if on cue the wall next to the barn door exploded, debris falling everywhere. Some of the debris was even burning.
Applejack backed up, still on her romp as she sighted the beastly creature that caused her barn's near destruction. It stood in a dark corner if the room, as fire emitted from it's body, illuminating it's omnious face. It couldn't have been any taller than Big Mac. It was shaped in a semi-perfect square shape reminiscent of the lighter Dark Side always carried around. It glanced at her, angrily.
The creature itself, however, she was not worried about. What she was worried about was the Barn. With Winona running around it so much, she scrambled all the hay everywhere, which was, ironically, extremely flammable.
Applejack got up on her hind hooves. She figured if she was gonna go out, she'd do it fighting. Flim and Flam toom notice to this and laughed on the ground historically. Meanwhile, Applejack and the robot were staring each other down.
"Ha ha! *huff* Go on Heat Man! Take her down!" Flim said through his laughter.
Heat Man was the first to move. He first ignited his body on fire, then flung himself at Applejack, who swiftly weaved out of the way. The flames grazed her cheek, causing her to cower. The flames didn't even feel like flames. They felt like napalm! As she shook off her surprise, Heat Man tossed flames from his hand, them landing on the ground causing more fire to appear. The flames forced up what seemed to be pillars. Applejack ran her way around the flames and jumped up to Heat Man's head and double-ax handed it. There was a slight crack sound as she did. Applejack grinned, having done damage to the powerful bot.
Unfortunately, Heat Man was still functional. Before she landed on the ground, Heat Man, within the vicinity of 2-3 seconds, ignited his body and charged at her once again, this time hitting her and slamming her against a wall.
Applejack had lost feeling in her back and spinal cord area. As she attempted to stand, she failed to find the strength to. Heat man advanced, slowly, but surely up to her. He then proceeded to pick her up with one hand my her mane, holding his prize in the air.
"What now sirs?" Heat Man asked his owners.
"Aw, go on head an finish here!" Flim said, still in somewhat of a laughing fit.
The robot shook his head shamefully, as his hold on her man tightened. He held her higher in the air and looked straight into her eyes.
"These are your last moments." He said, barely audible, as his other hand ignited with a giant flame ash e made it into a fist. He then drew his fist back, preparing to end the fight.
"That's enough!" A small voice yelled from the barn door and in trotted an angry-looking tan pony. Her mane was a deep red, topped with a bow.
"Apple Bloom! Get outta here now!" Applejack said in concern for the filly.
"No sis! I can do this!" Applebloom exclaimed, causing Flim and Flam's laughing to get more hysterical. They pounded the floor, rolling around on it.
Applebloom then ran full speed at the robot, crashing into it's body full speed. The robot itself didn't move very far but she did manage to release Applejack. The robot proceeded to shoot a flamethrower out of it's mouth, burning more and more of the barn. Luckily, due to Applebloom's small size, she easily rolled out of the way of it, charging the walking lighter once again, this time stopping under it's chin.
"SHORYUKEN!" Applejack yelled as she zoomed in the air, her fist making impact with the head of the robot. The robot flew in the air as it tried to anticipate what just happened. As it fell, Applebloom caught it with another uppercut, causing it to fly a bit higher this time, crashing onto the ground with a hard crunch sound. Flim and Flam's laughing had stopped as they stared in disbeleif at what had just happened. They looked at each other in disbelief.
The robot sat up from the ground, looking at the sisters. Like on cue, a small red object shot through the door, attaching itself to Applejack's hind leg.
"G-Get it off!" Applejack saud, panickily swinging her hoof around trying to get it off. The bomb starting beeping quickly before exploding. Applejack had no time to scream as the bomb took out a large portion of her leg. The last thing she saw before blacking out was a large robot with drills attached to each arm.
Starshooter stood in the dirt plot looking down. It was raining, rainfall supplying the ground with drinkable water. The soil immediately sucked it in, causing it to turn a dark brown color. Starshooter hooves slid into the sulky mud, his tears adding water to the already ample supply for the soil.
"We didn't make it." Starshooter said over and over again. He was deeply enveloped in despair and worry over his brother's whereabouts.
Fluttershy sat under a tree, away from the dirt. She didn't know what to think of the whole situation. One of her best friends was missing, along with her newfound big brother. And there her little brother was, crying his eyes out, lamenting it. She wanted to do something about it, but what could someone like her do against someone who took both Rarity and Dark Side down at the same time. She curled into a fetus position and wept.
Starshooter began walking back to comfort his big sister when something fast, metal, and sharp zoomed by his face, cutting it so quickly he didn't notice until moments afterward.
"Augh!" Starshooter yelped as he jumped out of the mud, wiping blood off his muzzle. The continuous rain stung his cut, but at that point it didn't matter. What did matter is what that blue creature was in the tree across from them.
The creature jumped from that tree to the ground, it's fist sticking into the shallow mud. As it knelt at that stationary position, it's red scarf flowing in the gray rain. It looked up slowly, showing it's mechanical eyes as the glowed yellow, it grabbing a katana from it's back sheath, the silver gleaming in the shallow daylight. The shuriken on it's head glistened as he rushed at Starshooter, who began to fly into the air to avoid the assault, unintentionally leaving Fluttershy with no protection.
Fluttershy, hearing faint, muddy footsteps looked up quickly, only to see a blue blur with a red material on it's neck rushing at her at unimaginable speeds. Fluttershy quickly dipped out of the way as the robot smashed its katana through a tree, creating an air blade that knocked over the tree with a huge crunch sound.
It turned around, looking at it's intended targets as Starshooter held Fluttershy in his hooves, even though he was the injured one.
"I am Shadow Man of Dr. Albert's Battalion: 3rd Sector." The robot said in a plain, calm voice. It's voice was almost soothing to Fluttershy, and would have been, if she didn't have the knowledge that it was attempting to brutally kill her and her brother. "You are Fluttershy and Starshooter, correct?"
"Uh... yeah, what of it?" Starshooter said, showing a little vanity in his voice.
"You two are targets assigned by my masters. You two will only get in the way. The like of you must be..." Shadow Man said, stopping in the middle of his sentence. Very suddenly he swooped over the Fluttershy and grabbed her head with his palm. "Eliminated!!!" Shadow Man finished as he violently slammed Fluttershy's head into the ground. Luckily for her, the rain had softened the soil, but the pain was still immense.
"Aaaeeeiii!" Fluttershy yelled as Shadow Man pulled out a giant shuriken that was hanging off his back. He raised it high in the air, about to slash her when Starshooter speared Shadow Man, rushing at him and tackling him at the waist. As the two of the fell, Fluttershy quickly made a move towards the two, hoping she remembed a few Jutsu she read out of a Forbidden Book Celestia gave Twilight on chakra.
Fluttershy began to switch her front hooves around in a semi-awkward fashion, finishing with her hoof smashing into the ground in front of her. "Water Style: Mud Dragon Missile!" Fluttershy said a bit reluctantly at first, but when she saw a large mass of mud rise up she finished. The mud transformed into the shale of a dragon. Fluttershy was amazed, but for whatever reason, the other two were not as they were busy upside each other's heads.
"Say your prayers!" The mud-covered robot said as he raised his katana high with both hands as his legs held down Starshooter. Suddenly a giant blast of mud rushed at him at high speeds, forcing him off Stsrshooter, but blasting him In the process. The force of the mud blasted him into a nearby tree, crushing him until he was halfway forced into the tree.
Shadow Man felt himself loosing consciousness. He knew the water had gotten into his system. As a last resort, he tossed his giant shuriken at the two Fluttershy quickly jumped out of the way, but Starshooter was grazed deeply on the neck by it. Blood began pouring out as Fluttershy rushed to his side, before Shadow Man exploded into several energy spheres, which then flew off somewhere in the distance.
As Applejack lie there, feeling helpless as Apple Bloom fought the remorseless Heat Man, she felt a power growing inside of her. Then, multiple power spheres rushed into her body. A white explosion ensued, causing everyone else n the room to look at Applejack. As the light cleared, Applejack's mane had turned pink and her body had turned purple. Suddenly a shuriken appeared in her hand as she smirked.
Madara stood on a pedestal facing what seemed to be a hundred or so robots. He stared on as all of them faced him. He saw quite a few that stood out. One had a giant fan built in to its abdominals and another had spikes covering it from head to toe. It was beautiful.
Madara raised his hoof in the air, with a blank expression on his face. Dr. Albert had told him that the robots were built with a chip that allowed them to recognise military preporotory actions and drill commands. As he taised his hoof, all the robots in the giant group spread apart both legs as voth of their hands shot behind their back.
A smirk stretched across Madara's face. He had not had an army this large since the fall of the Moonlit clan He shot his hoof down as all the robots snapped to attention.
"At ease robots!" Madara said in his usual command voice, his voice reverberating within the thin walls of the palace. "As you all should know, I am Moonlit Madara, your new commander! Consider me as equal to your creator! As equal to your god! Because now... with the support of me and the Akatsuki we can all reach the end of this perilous long road." He was really getting into his speech at this point and was walking along the front row of robots, sizing them up. "The road to our peace will be hardy and full of hardship. But this is what you were made for. This is your purpose. And this is your goal." He used his magic to flash an image into all of the robots eyes.
The image was composed of four ponies, all looking around the same age. Madara began by injecting himself into the image and pointed at a gray pony with dark blue hair and purple tips at the end of each clump of hair. "Firstly! This is Dark Side, my grandson. He was originally allied with us. But he has since gone soft. He has felt the feeling of love. A pitiful trap no one should have to fall victim to. And that is why he must be dealt with." As he finished he then pointed at a teal pony with green and light green hair. "This is Starshooter. Unlike Dark Side, he was not always allied with us at first. He is also my grandson. As per you would expect, he inherited the Sharingan, just as his older brother did. He just doesn't embrace it the way the rest of us do. It is unfortunate but he still must be eradicated. These two. Fluttershy and Rarity. They are the female members of this little entourage. And they both have the Sharingan. That in mind we need their ocular power too." Madara said, taking a breath.
"4th Lieutenant! Report!" Madara exclaimed, raising his hoof once more.
A red robot then landed in front of him, bowing before him. It had a magnet attached to his head and magnets protruding from the top of it's hands.
"Magnet Man. We will complete this project by using battle strategy Sangarai." Madara said.
Magnet Man flinched backward. "Sangarai?! Is it really that serious?!"
"Of course it is. Not only do theae fools posess the Sharingan, but they have barricaded themselves with powerful allies, being the Elements of Harmony. We must'nt underestimate them." Madara said, tapping his chin lightly. "Now communicate amongst yourselves and create your teams. Magnet Man, however, I will need your team now."
Magnet man stood from his bowing posture and stretched his arms outward. He always did this when he was thinking.
Sangarai. A deadly military battle strategy designed only for serious situations. Three robots make up a team! This being how powerful it is with thousands of combinations. We shall make the teams where we all see fit.
"Elec Man! Bubble Man! You two are coming with me!" Magnet Man said, pointing the two out from the crowd. The first of the robots to step out was Bubble Man. He was a bit taller than one would expect, and was decked out in full diving and swimming gear. His flippers flopped as he walked to meet Magnet Man. The other robot, Elec Man, made his way through the crowd late. He was a plain robot with a black and yellow design. Even considering his standard design, he still looked menacing.
The trio walked out, following Madara from the large room.
Dark Side woke up on the floor of a dimly lit room. A single light bulb flickeres on and off occasionally, allowing him to see a bit more. It seemed as though he was in a cage of some sort.
"Rarity?" Dark Side called, more worried of the whereabouts of Rarity than where he was. Immediately following his call, he heard a low moan come from somewhere near him. Dark Side concentrated his magic into his horn, creating an illumination spell.
As he surveyed the room, he spotted somepony hanging from chains tied to the roof. Rarity.
Rarity's mane, usually lucsiously curved, now hang downward, dirt caking bits and parts of it. Her normally clean white fur was , at most parts covered by dust and dirt. She looked like a shell of her former being in the state she was now.
"Rarity! Wake up!" Dark Side exclaimed, weakly limping toward her slowly, due to his one bad hoof.
Rarity moaned weakly again, struggling in her chains as she finally opened her eyes, a sight Dark Side was happy to see. And he wasn't happy much.
"D-darling?" Rarity weakly muttered, giving a weak smile after seeing Dark Side.
"Hold up. Let me get you outta these chains real quick." Dark Side said, his magic aura transforming into a pair of scissors as he cut her from his chains, catching het with one hoof, on account that the other was broken. However, he had to use all his strength to do so.
Rarity flung her arms around Dark Side and wept inti his shoulder.
"It's okay. We can get out now. I'm gonna need your help to do so though."
Rarity nodded her head, which was still buried in Dark Side's shoulder.
( 5 minutes later )
Spot walked through the murky caverns he and his brothers called home. His brothers were such idiots. Why couldn't they check on the prisoners themselves, he thought. He kicked a rock and continued to do so until he reached the cell. He swung the keys around on his finger, balancing it himself. He was so bored of this lifestyle.
"You awake in there?" Spot said, hoping he wouldn't get an answer. It'd make his job a lot easier.
"Yes, darling." Rarity's voice said, although she wasn't visible, to Spot at least.
"Dammit." Spot muttered under his breath.
"Oh, dear Spot, I so hate to bother you with this, but may I use one of your little mare facilities?"
"There's a bucket in there!" Spot protested, not wanting to get into this.
"But Dark Side uses that bucket! And I need to go nooooooow!" Rarity nagged.
"Damn! Alright!" Spot said, flipping through the keys, finding the one to the cell. He pushed it in and twisted, causing the metal, rusty door to creak open, allowing light to spill into the room. As Spot lifted his head to take in his surroundings, he was tackled by something fast.
"What the! Augh!" Spot howled as he was slammed into the walls of the cave. He opened his squinting eyes to see a single Sharingan eye looking directly at him. "Dark Side! But how...?" He said, his claw grasping at the air behind his back.
Damn! I left my sword with Fido! Spot remembered.
"Now. Unless you wish to be skewered by my horn, I'd suggest you not come within one mile of me or my friends ever again!" Dark Side said in a dark, yet official sounding voice.
Dark Side smiled menacingly as he let him go, grabbing Rarity's hoof.
"Earth Style! Boulder Burst!" He said, smashing his palm onto the wall next to Spot. The force of his palm caused the wall behind Spot to cave in, boulders crashing on him violently. It also revealed an exit to the cavern. Dark Side and Rarity nonchalantly exited the caverns, leaving a earth-covered Spot in their wake.
Applejack stood bravely alongside Apple Bloom, doing her best to ignore the pain of hershattered hind leg. She wobbled as she stood, regardless of the brave face she put on. She held up the shuriken valiantly as she braced herself as yet another robot reared its head on the field of their battle.
"It seems your having quite the bit of trouble my friend." The robot said as it walked out from under the shaded areas of the barn. He spoke in a heavy northern accent. He had a red paint job, with silver on parts of his body. Drills occupied the spaces that would usually belong to one's hands.
"Crash Man. It took you long enough." Heat Man said in his normal, Brooklyn accent. "I thought we were supposed to have one more? I got a transmission saying we put a rush on 'Sangarai'."
"Sangarai?" Apple Bloom muttered to her sister. "What's that about?"
Applejack shot her an 'I don't know' look as she continued to listen in.
"Well, we kind of had an odd number of robots, so we're just gonna be a duo." Crash Man said, scratching the back of his metallic neck.
"But are these fools even worth using Sangarai on?"
"It seems so. If they gave even you, Heat Man, trouble, I'm pretty sure they're worth it."
"Trouble? Hmph! I was just getting warmed up!" Heat Man said, banging his fists together, igniting his body with dancing red and yellow flames. Much to Applejack's surprise, he flung his giant body at Apple Bloom, who spent no time in rolling away. Unfortunately, it was to no avail as Heat Man flung a multitude of small ignition flames at her, one scoring her in her thigh while the others fell to the ground around her.
Apple Bloom whimpered as she blew on her knee, attempting to nurse the wound. Applejack tried to rush to her side but was presented a kick to the face, the hard metal cutting her cheek as she flew through the air like a rag doll before finally landing in a haystack that was close to burning. She sat helplessly, watching her sister get mercilessly beaten by the giant fists of the machine.
Tears strew down Apple Bloom's face as she was faced with the reality of her situation. There really was nothing she could do. There was no other help. She was going to die here.
Without warning, something silver flew in from the outside of the barn. Flim and Flam stared, wide eyed at it. Before they could even analyze the situation, a dark blur flew in through the wreckage and hoofed Heat Man in the face. Heat Man flew off Apple Bloom, flying into a wall, tossing debris all over with the impact.
"And that my friends, was the Dynamic Entry!" Dark Side said as he landed on his front hooves, ensuring a soft landing on his broken one.
"Dark Side?" Applejack choked out through the flames.
Dark Side didn't answer her, but instead averted his attention to the other robot, who was rushing him with giant drills. Crash Man punched with his still drills, prompting Dark Side to catch it with both of his front hooves.
"Very clever, what is your name my friend?" Crash Man asked honorably.
"Dark Side, public prosecutor. And yours?" Dark Side asked, mirroring Crash Man's smile.
"Crash Man, your last opponent!" Crash Man said valiantly as he rushed his foot into Dark Side's side.
"Guagh!" Dark Side yelled in pain as he dropped his stance. He quickly scattered onto his feet and rushed at Crash Man with his unicorn horn. Crash Man countered with his drill, causing the two to cross as if two swords would cross. The two used their force until they proved equally matched, pushing both fighters back, Dark Side barely missing a wall and Crash Man slamming into Flam with great force.
"Hey you idiot! Watch it!" Flam yelled at the robot as he attempted to push it off of him.
The robot, ignoring Flam's verbal assault, flipped onto both its legs, stumbling slightly as he did. He smiled as he walked towards Dark Side.
"You are a worthy opponent indeed, my friend." Crash Man said, slowly stepping towards him.
"As are you, y'know." Dark Side said, trotting bravely up to Crash Man.
The two stared each other down as they both waited for each other to make a move.
"Do it." Crash Man commanded, predicting what was about to happen.
"If you insist." Replied Dark Side.
Dark Side swiftly moved to Crash Man's side, surprising him as he lifted his one good hind hoof and slammed it into Crash Man's side, causing him to flinch heavily to the side. Taking advantage of this, Dark Side jumped a bit high over his head and double-axe hoofed Crash Man on the chest, causing him to lose balance in his legs, causing him to crash to the ground. Dark Side quickly took advantage of this and shoved his hoof under his body, using all his strength to lift him high into the air. Applejack watched in amazement as Dark Side jumped to the same height he was.
"Genocide Cutter!" Dark Side exclaimed as he kicked his foot in a circular motion, a wave of energy edging from his foot. A large gash appeared on Crash Man's body.
Crash Man flipped over as he landed, just barely on his feet, pushing his hand to the ground to avoid damage to his other body parts. He put a hand over his gash. "Well, it seems we have reached an impasse here, my friend."
Dark Side huffed loudly. "Yeah it seems so."
"We both know this isn't our full power." Crash Man said, getting to his feet.
"You two huh? I figured. You should've been able to dodge that Genocide Cutter."
"I could have, but I had to test how well it worked."
"You had to 'test' it?"
"Yeah. If you was capable of a combo like that, I figured you'd have a special move to back it up with. So I had to test my hypothesis. Am I able to get hit with it and survive?"
"You didn't think of how dangerous that is?"
"Nah, I wasn't scared."
"Your my type of guy."
"Ditto."
The two rushed each other after their exchange their powers colliding into an explosion.
[Pinkamena's Mind]
"Moonlit Hitachi?" Pinkie asked questioning the shadowy figure that stood before her.
"Yes Pinkamena. I'm Dark Side older brother." Hitachi said, brushing some of his dark blue hair from his face. He looked a lot like an older Dark Side, except his hair was styled significantly different.
"Then why haven't I heard of you until just now?" Pinkamena asked, crossing her front hooves in front of her, as if aroused by suspicion.
"To tell you that, we'll have to delve deep into the past." Hitachi said, stomping his hoof. As he did, the scenery changed to that of a hospital room. Now watch.
As Pinkamena watched she noticed a mare lying asleep in the bed. She had the face of her old friend Fluttershy, only distinguishable by her different shaded coloration of hair and her different hairstyle. She lie in bed, her breathing slow but steady with a smile plastered on her face.
"Who's that?" Pinkamena asked, cocking her head slightly.
"That is mother. Right now she's pregnant with our little sister."
"Fluttershy?"
"Correct."
As the two continued to watch a younger looking Madara trotted into the room.
"So this filly is going to have power that rivals even mine? Well. We'll have to see about that." Madara said menacingly as he used his horn to levitate a syringe, aiming it for Candy Apple's stomach.
"Stop!" A voice said as it crashed through the door to the room. He had a dark blue shade of hair and was gray in coloration. He looked just like Dark Side.
"Hitachi! Do not attempt to halt my plan!" Madara said as he turned to face his grandson.
"That's your granddaughter! How can you be do heartless?!"
"It doesn't matter. She poses a threat to my plan so she will be eliminated."
"Not if i---" Hitachi started before a syringe sunk into the back of his neck, injecting highly toxic substances into his bloodstream. The last thing he saw before his death was a syringe being stuck into his mother's stomach.
Lordav trotted up the path to the Apple's barn. He had just been promoted to 2nd lieutenant by the Romanian forces just yesterday and he already had to investigate a case of arson? Not only that but an element of harmony was involved in the fiery feud?
"Heh. Fiery feud." He mumbled under his breath, laughing at his little joke he unintentionally made. His best friend Lordy Snow would've loved that one. It was too bad he was investigating a disappearance of Ponyville's top fashion designer. What was her name? Rarity?
Lordav continued to mumble to himself as he walked up the winding path to the charred barn. Lordav was surprised to see only spectators along with one lone stallion regulating and putting out the flames. With this huge mess, he had expected Canterlot's special forces firefighters to be here but one lone stallion? Not only that but this stallion wasn't very old, maybe in his mid-twenties in the least. His mane was colored distinctively red and yellow, wind rushing through his hair made it seem as if a live fire burned on his head. But that wasn't even the surprising part. This stallion didn't even have a horn! To think, a Pegasus using magic. The thought wrestled in Lordav's mind, trying to make sense of it.
After about a minute the fire was put out, causing the mysterious stallion to wipe sweat from his forhead in fatigue. As he did so, the crowd cheered for his heroic actions causing him to smirk.
"It was nothing, really. There may be ponies in the wreckage! Help me get these bricks and pillars up!" The stallion said, rallying the crowd of fifteen or so ponies into the mess of a barn.
Lordav rushed to the charred remains and started moving the remains if the rubble peice by peace, before finally revealing a tan hoof sticking out from under a steel column designed to hold barrels. He had to use all his strength, but he eventually removed the half melted ste column to reveal an unconscious Apple Bloom, her forehead tainted with blood. Lordav lifted the poor filly into his hooves and but his ear to her breast, hearing a faint beating sound. He smiled at the sound, as when he originally thought she was deceased. He carried her to an empty plot part of the feild and lied her down, rushing back to help uncover more survivors.
Along with their makeshift help team was Lektra Bolt, one of the local scientists in the area. She was headed to the parts and service area of Ponyville's local market when she noticed an interesting contraption, that of Flim and Flam's Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000. As she investigated the strange locomotive, interested in it's mechanical makeup, she eventually smelled smoke emanating from the charred barn of in the distance. Acting as fast as she could, she telekinetically told her friend Blaze Wing about the tragic scene, whom came to the rescue a few moments later.
As Lektra Bolt dug through the rubble, she saw a few nuts and bolts scattered throughout the area. This got her excited.
There might be a machine under here! A cyborg? A robot? Lektra thought, her mind rapidly filing through all the possibilities. Eventually she came across a drill like mechanism sticking up from the rubble. Intrigued, she attempted to pull it up, but it seemed stuck, or heavy.
"Hey! Blaze! A little help here?!" She called to her friend, who was struggling to remove what seemed to be an arm from the destruction. Blaze Wing rolled his eyes as he slowly flew over to his friends location.
"What in the world is that?" Blaze Wing asked of his friend, half expecting her not to know and for her to pull a smart answer.
"That's what we're going to figure out!" She said back.
Blaze Wing rolled his eyes once again, before grabbing onto the arm along with Lektra. They both pulled with immense strength, finally plucking it from it's grave. As the plucked it they both lost strength, causing it to flip as it came out. Whatever it was, it was metallic and pretty heavy.
"Whoah..." Blaze Wing muttered as he stared at the figure that they'd just saved. It was a huminoid creature about five feet tall in size. It had a drill on one hand, but the other arm was missing entirely. Wires poked through the missing area. It was mostly red in coloration, but was black on parts due to charring burns covering it.
Lektra got a sparkle In her eye. She used her levitate ability to pick him up.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Blaze Wing exclaimed.
"Im gonna........... fix him up. Yeah that's right...." Lektra said giving a guilty smile. Before Blaze Wing could say anything se Lektra started booking it to her house.
"Man. That mare." Blaze Wing said, rolling his eyes.
[Later]
"What do you mean you couldn't find Crash Man's corpse?!" Dark Side yelled at his old acquaintance Blaze Wing. He sat in a hospital bed, covered severely in bandages. His arm hung from a string tied to the ceiling. It was an estimated 2 month recovery, but knowing Dark Side he'd probably be gone In two days, thought Blaze Wing.
"Well, it wasn't in the rubble." Blaze Wing lied, protecting his friend. He knew how much authority the stallion In front of him had. Who knows what'd happen to him or her if he figured out.
"How wasn't it dammit?!" Dark Side exclaimed, visably freaking out.
"Hey. Dark Side calm it down some, you might bust a vein."
"And that robot might bust my balls!" Dark Side said angrily.
Blaze Wing struggled to keep a straight face at that one. But he didn't want to risk showing him a sign of weakness. "Sir. Ill get my squadron and we will look for it."
"What squadron?" Dark Side asked, unknowing to what he was speaking of.
"Lordav and Lordy Snow."
"Those two new Romanian high-ranking military officers?"
"Yeah, one of them was helping me with the mess today."
"Alright. Just locate it. We'll destroy it later."
"Gotcha."
After Blaze Wing left, Dark Side lie there looking at the ceiling. He was wondering what Rarity was doing. She kinda wandered off when he rushed in to save Applejack. It seemed weird to him. He sighed and turned his head to his left, spotting the remote control for the television that hung fron a steel bar above his head. He reached his free left hoof over to get it, but couldn't stretch far enough, on account of his broken hoof. Dark Side sighed and began biting at it in futility.
"Damn" Dark Side mumbled in defeat before rolling over and going to sleep.
[Lektra Bolt's Lab]
"What in blazes? Where am I?" Crash Man said as he sat up on a hard steel table.
"That wouls be in the basement of my humble abode!" Lektra Said, stepping from the shadows of her dimly lit basement. She smiled as she walked closer to Crash Man. This was her first encounter with such a creature. It had artificial intelligence. That she took. No, that she modified.
Crash Man began to take in his surroundings. The first thing he noticed was that on his left arm was a hand instead of a drill. He moved it around, getting accustomed to it.
"You probably already noticed that your not intent on killing anymore." Lektra said, walking up to the table that held Crash Man.
Crash Man just sat blankly trying to think of a reason. A justification to kill her.
He couldn't.
"You fight for good now. You belong to me now. We're gonna be best friends!" Lektra said, hugging onto the confused robot.
He still stared blankly, but, unbeknownst to him, he hugged her back.
Wood Man stomped angrily down the hallways of Madara's castle. There were multiple teams in need of an extra member! But they just wouldn't have him. But why? He was strong! Dependable! To himself, at least. He kept wandering the halls until a figure appeared in front of him, obstructing his path. At closer inspection, the one in his way was Pinkamena.
"Lady Pinkamena! To what do I owe the pleasure?" Wood Man asked, quickly bowing down, with some trouble due to his large wood body.
"What's wrong? You seem kind of down Woody?" Pinkamena said in a soft, almost suductive tone.
Wood Man blushed a bit. "No, im just not in a good mood as of this morning." Wood Man lied. He didn't want to look weak in front of her.
"Now Woody don't lie to me."
"It's really nothing ma'am." He assured, now swearing bullets.
Pinkamena sighed before quickly and violently tossing her hair backward, as a large, dark ball of mass shot out, smashing itself angrily onto Wood Man, embedding itself inside of his body. It seemed to begin to consume him, the Dark Matter covering every inch of his convulsing body until he could no longer feel. Following this display was a small explosion of the matter, the clouds resulting hiding the monstrosity that it created.
Wood Man was gone. Now what stood in front of Pinkamena was a monster. He was now a murky tree giant, giant moss covered logs for hands, and protected by spiny vines from each side.
The pair laughed as Forest Man stomped off to find its first target.
Crash Man sat under an umbrella outside the Burgers and Hay Fries restaurant. With Lektra Bolt. In a suit and tie. On a date.
How could this have happened....? Crash Man wondered to himself repetitively before the memory of him feeling pony emotions for her surfaced themselves atop his memory. Crash Man shook his head, disappointed at hinself for allowing something of this magnitude to occur.
Lektra noticed this and looked up from the ravaged fries.
"What's wrong Crash?" Lektra asked, worried about the combat robot.
"It's no-" Crash Man started before time around him began to slow.
Literally
Crash Man watched in horror as a light purple figure darted up to his Marefriend, who was turning her head in slow motion, and punched her straight in the muzzle. Lektra flew back in slow motion, crashing through multiple other tables, before time flow returned to normal.
"Lektra!" Crash Man cried as he ran towards Lektra at speeds that would impress Quick Man. The same purple figure jumped in front of him.
"Time is very precious, Crash Man. We wouldn't want to waste it fighting each other, now would we?" Time Man said menacingly, stopping Crash Man in his tracks.
"Time Man! Move now! I dont want to hurt you!"
"Neither do I. But time is not on our side. We need to finish project Tsuki-No-Me and you sitting around with these ingrates is not beneficial to the plan!" Time Man shot back.
"But....I..." Crash Man mumbled as he held his head in his hands, his thoughts racing as he struggled to choose his side. He was a robot! He had to fulfill his purpose! But.... he loves her?
"Im sorry Time Man." Crash Man said as he readied his drill.
Time Man sighed. "Shameful. We just wasted thirty seconds."
Crash Man rushed Time Man as he struck and erratic pose. As he did, time flow began to slow once again, Time Man rushing up to Crash and kneeing him in the stomach, causing him to convulse backward. Time Man followed this up by a quick uppercut to the chin, causing Crash to fly into the air before violently crashing down. As he fell, time returned to normal, amplifying his pain.
Crash Man ignored the pain centered on his stomach and did a leg sweep targeting Time Man's legs. Time Man was able to swiftly lift one leg, but was slow with the other one, Crash Man quickly lifting it skyward.
A sickening crunch was heard as Crash Man flipped Time Man onto the ground, Time Man's private area bent. Time Man lie there, shaking.
"Oh crap...!" Crash Man said, realizing what he did. He ran over to check to see if he was okay, but as he did, time began to slow once again. Crash Man had a confused look on his face as Time Man lie there, still as a scarecrow.
"What could he be doing?" Crash Man wondered.
After a few steps toward him, time flow returned to normal, and Crash Man continued to run, but slid on his heels as he noticed that both Time Man and Lektra were gone.
"What the?!" Crash said aloud as he scoped his surroundings. All he spotted was a small robot lying face down in the dirt of the whole incident. He ran towards it and picked it up in his arms.
"Sparky..." Crash Man muttered remorsefully. Sparky was Lektra's favorite robot and personal assistant. He had been there for her since the beginning. In truth, Crash Man was sort of jealous of the robot. He thought about how easy it'd be to just end it right there...
Crash shook the thought out of his head, putting Sparky in the restaurant that they were eating at.
"Watch this for me." He commanded the nearest pony as he shot out of the door.
The Dark blue pony walked up to the inactive robot. She flipped her forward spiking mane back to reveal a devious grin on her face. She picked up the robot in her front hooves and put it onto her shoulder.
"Oh. Ill watch it for sure." Shadow Star said devilishly as she walked away with the robot.
Crash Man ran back outside dipping through flipped tables and chairs, attempting to find his marefriend. J He looked through trees, in shops, virtually everywhere.
"Crash Man!" A voice called from above.
Crash Man looked up to see a grinning Time Man carrying Lektra in his left arm, his hand covering her mouth as she attempted to call to Crash Man.
"Time! Let her go!" Crash Man growled.
"Are you sure you want me to do that?" Time asked as he shifted his hand to grab the back of Lektra's neck. He held her out off the building, 23 feet above the ground.
"No!" Crash Man shouted as he pushed his hands up, showing that he was giving up.
Time Man grinned. "Well Crash Man. Do you see how much time we could have saved if you had just given up?"
Crash Man stared at Time with A deadly serious look on his face. He was almost ready to shoot a Crash Bomber at him, but Lektra could be caught in the explosion.
"Crash Man!" Leltra yelled. "Don't worry about me! Shoot your Crash Bom-" Lektra was stopped as Time Man grabbed her neck with both hands and started to strangle her.
"If you don't shut the hell up!" Time Man yelled. "I haven't the patience for you!"
Crash Man's eyes widened as anger surged through his body. His anger seeped out as it caused an explosion.
Time Man looked down, still holding Lektra, barely conscious in his hands. "What was that?" He asns himself as he looked at the resulting explosion.
Crash Man stood in the middle of a 2 feet deep crater, his body giving of a red aura. His body was glowing vibrant shades of blue instead of the regular red. His eyes were also shaded blue.
Time Man and Lektra Bolt looked at him in surprise.
"N-no way...!" Time Man muttered a bit scared.
"Hes... full synchro!" Lektra and Time Man said at the same time.
Time Man dropped Lektra onto the roof of the building he was on and began backing up.
Crash Man looked up with an overly serious look on his face, before running at unreal speeds towards the building, stepping his foot up, before completing running up the side of the building, leaving deep footprints in his wake. He jumped up over the edge and slammed his feet into the roof, Time Man backing up from the all-powerful robot.
"This... isn't .... poss...-" Time Man choked out before Crash Man rushed up to him and punched him in the jaw, Time Man crashing into a stack of crates at the back of the roof.
Time Man flipped up, and struck the same pose, time flow slowing once again. However, this time Crash Man still moved at regular speed, slamming his drill into Time Man's gut, mechanical nuts and blood spilling onto the ground.
Crash Man violently pulled the drill out. He lifted the drill back into the air.
"No Crash don't!" Lektra pleaded from behind him. "Thats enough!" As she pleaded for him to stop, she noticed a yellow beam shoot from the sky, landing behind Crash Man. Unfortunately Crash Man was to occupied with Time Man to notice. The creature was a tall robot, a foot or so taller than Crash Man. It had a plug on it's head and instead of hands, two electric convulsing spikes.
"Crashy! Look out!!!!!!!!" Lektra screamed at the top of her lungs.
Crash Man turned his head, but was stabbed through the chest with two spikes.
"GAUUUUUUUHGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!"
"Dark Side!" Lordy Snow, an officer in the Royal Forces called as he barged into Dark Side's room.
Dark Side drowsily rolled over. 'What? Can't ya see im trying to sleep?!" Dark Side said angrily.
"Well... we found Crash Man. And he's fighting another robot in the outskirts of Ponyville."
"Wha?! Quick! Get me a wheelchair!"
[Madara's Castle]
Madara walked into the dark room. He dodged his head out of the way of a few pipes that he had memorized the location of. He walked out into the center of the room, where all of the pipe lines connected into a giant vat, containing Zero. Or at least it should've been.
Celestia walked around the lonely, ridgid surface of the moon. She thought to herself why this had happened to her. She, saddened, sar on a small rock formation, facing her old planet. Oh how she missed it. All she could think about was how her sister and Twilight where doing.
Her elegant mane shone in the nightlight as she heard light steps come from behind her. She looked behind her quickly, to swe a light blue alicorn with a light blond mane. Her hair was styled similar to that of a princess, and her eyes shone a sparkling blue. Behind her bounced a small black star shaped creature. A Luma.
"Why, Celestia! Its been eons since our last meeting!" The beautiful alicorn said said with a twinkle in her blue eyes. Her smile seemed to light up Celestia's personality.
"Princess Rosalina! It has been awhile!" Princess Celestia said, happy to see her old acquaintance after decades. She bounded up and hugged her, happy to see her old friend after years.
"So what is it that brings you to the moon exactly?" Rosalina asked in a somewhat joking manner, attempting to lighten up the somewhat dark mood that had surrounded them, being on a planet as desolate as the moon and all.
"Well...." Celestia started before proceeding to explain to her the events that had transpired after Dark Side began to date Rarity, up until she was transported to the moon as Rosalina sat on a rock formation next to her, listening intently. As she finished Rosalina nodded.
"It seems your in quite the trouble here." Rosalina said, with a serious face on.
"Yes it seems so..." Celestia said.
"Luckily for you, dear Celestia, I may have the solution that you require."
Celestia looked up from her gloomy state hopefully. "You think so?"
Rosalina lifted her hoof as a small wand appeared inside of her hoof, her waving it around. As she did, magical particles formed themselves into a golden star shaped formation that twisted rapidly before simply floating in the air.
Celestia stared at it wide eyed. "W-what is that?"
"It is your ticket home Celestia. But before I send you back... there's two thing you need to know. The first thing is two warriors, one of red and one of green will show up in Equestria in three days time. You will know them by theur distinct traits. The red one speaks no words, but wields a heart of gold and has a keen eye for stomping out evil. The green one, in retrospect is cowardly and will easily be scared, but he has endurance unmatched by any of the Wonderbolts and he has ample untapped potential. And lastly, I leave you my trusted servant, Polaris." Rosalina finished as she waved the black little Luma to her side.
"But why? Isnt he your favorite assistant?" Celestia asked confused.
"He is. But he will be able to distinguish the two heroes easier than you could. And he could be of service to help defeat Zero." Rosalina used her horn to levitate Celestia and Polaris into the Warp Star.
"W-wait! Who's Zero?!" Celestia asked, frantically struggling to escape the star for more questions.
"Goodbye, dear Celestia." Rosalina said as she used her magic to force Celestia to spin, activating the Warp Star, which blasted her in the direction of her planet, she traveling at lightning speed.
[Ponyville Intensive Care Unit]
Starshooter lie, eyes closed face up on a hospital bed, a syringe sticking from his hoof and a blanket covering the bottom half of his body. His breathing was slow, yet steady, as the heart rate moniter beeped steadily as his oxygen pump puffed up and down.
Next to him sat Fluttershy, sitting on the floor with her head in between her hooves, saddened at what had unfolded.
"Had you just dodged that shuriken..." Fluttershy said in her head, scolding herself silently.
The door to the room burst open as a pony wheeling himself in a wheelchair rushed into the room, flanked by two ponies with Romanian Guard armor on. Fluttershy shot up at this, seeing Dark Side and rushing to hug him.
"D-Dark Side....! Its all my fault!" She moaned as she threw her arms around him.
"What do you mean by that?" Dark Side asked a she let go of him.
Fluttershy began to tell Dark Side about Shadow Man's relentless attack upon them and how Starshooter's throat was cut open by a flying shuriken. As Fluttershy talked and Dark Side listened, Lordav and Lordy Snow began to create a conversation of their own.
"You know Lordy Snow, we could've been to the crime scene by now if you hadn't have told him that his little brother was hospitalized." Lordav complained to his best friend, criticizing his poor decision.
"It's his little brother I figured he had the right to know." Lordy Snow fired back in defense of his position.
"That robot is tearing up the Shopping District!!" Lordav said, a bit panicked." Who knows what he could have done by now?!"
"Calm down, guy. Its going to be alright. Nothing could be worse than what has already happened." Lordy Snow assured his panicked friend.
As if on cue, the door slammed open once again, with Lordy Snow unfortunately in the way of it, the door slamming him into the wall. A gray mare with a yellow and green mane, similar to Starshooter's, but lighter, busted into the room. She began to Sprint up to the bed, knocking over Lordav in the process. As she continued her unintentional assault, she came to a screeching halt at the bed of Starshooter.
"Hey who the heck are you supposed to-" Dark Side asked before he convulsed backward in surprise as the mare threw her arms around Starshooter as he lie still asleep. She began to weep.
"I thought we lost you!" She said as she kept a firm grip on Starshooter.
" I repeat, who are you?!" Dark Side said again, this time clearly agitated.
"Who are you supposed to be?" The mare shot back at him.
"Im the older brother of the foul sitting in front of you!" Dark Side said, mocking Starshooter. "I repeat one last time. Who are you?!"
"Im his marefriend! Emerald Star to be exact!" The mare said, angered at Dark Side's verbal assault toward her unconscious lover.
"W-----WHAT?!" Dark Side exclaimed in surprise.
Everypony else in the room simply stared wide eyed at the pony, Lordy Snow and Lordav recovering from their pain.
"And why didn't I know about this?" Dark Side demanded.
"I didn't know about you either!"
"And how long have you two been an item?!"
"About one and a half years."
"Unforgivable! I wasnt notified about such a revelation!" Dark Side saud angrily as he pounded his hoof into the arm of the wheelchair. "What else is this little sneak hiding?!"
"B-brother...calm down...." Fluttershy muttered in her usual shy tone.
"I will not calm down! This is inexcusable! First this little fool gets his neck slit by a robot that would be child's play for me now he's hiding things, not only from me, but Fluttershy too?! His own family! Who knows what else this little bastard is hiding! He's a disgrace to the Moonlit!" Dark Side yelled angrily.
Emerald Star had heard enough. She bounded up to Dark Side and slapped him with her front hoof, causing him to fly out of his chair.
Dark Side gritted his teeth as he tried to get up back onto his feet, but couldn't, on account of his broken hoof. Emerald Star ran up and was about to deliver another hoof to the cheek, but her hoof was grabbed before she could. She looked up to see Starshooter's smiling face.
"It's alright Emerald, there's no need for any more violence."
"Please Twilight, I can hardly understand what your saying my dear. You have to speak a bit slower then that." Rarity said to her friend, who was imprisoned behind the plexiglass wall of Ponyville Correctional Facility. After her assault on Dark Side, she had been imprisoned there since, charged with the crime of assaulting a government official and was awaiting a later trial, in which Dark Side would be a witness and the presiding prosecutor.
"Rarity... h-he i-i-is evil! H-he knew what he was doing!" Twilight said, obviously distraught.
"Twilight! Please! Calm yourself! Who is 'he'?" Rarity asked, worried about the mental state of her friend.
Twilight took a deep breath and sat for a few minutes, momentarily sipping some green alow tea that sat in front of her.
"I'm talking about Dark Side, Rarity." Twilight said in her normal, stable voice.
"What about him?"
"He knew what he was doing. He didn't have to put me in here. He knew that him fighting Princess Celestia would get her killed. He planned this all out Rarity!" Twilight said, convinced that Dark Side was the mastermind behind this whole ordeal.
"Twilight! This reasoning of yours is faulty! Especially for you!" Rarity said, half worried for her and half offended. "I daresay I'm offended by your accusations, Twilight."
"Rarity please! You've known me longer than him! I thought we were friends! Look at everything that happened! It all started when you started dating him!"
"Even if he is the source of the problem I am his marefriend and he is my coltfriend. We go through this together. Your my friend Twilight. Nothing is going to change that. But at this point you have a decision to make. Right now...wither your with me or against m-"
Rarity didn't get to finish her sentence as she heard a scream coming from the other room, followed by a very loud thump. Scared for whatever it was to come in there next, she grabbed the keys to Twilight's prison that the guard had foolishly left on a shelf next to the door and opened it, jumping inside.
"Rarity what are you doin-"
Rarity put a hoof to her mouth, looking intensely out of the glass.
The two looked behind them, wide eyed as they heard a tune play behind them. It was simple, yet a bit terrifying, and it sounded nothing like music from their world. [youtube=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzb9pFwyiFY]
Suddenly, a yellow giant blobs came crashing through the ceiling one at a time, seeming to form something. As the blobs hit one another they wedged themselves onto each other, creating a figure. Light from the hole shimmered in as the last blob hit the pile. The blob formed a cyclopian giant creature, which rose from the pile and yelled something.
"Bumo! Bumobumomomomo! Bumo!" The creature said frantically as if threatening the two mares in another language.
"Is it trying to say something?" Twilight thought aloud.
Rarity was too frozen in shock and fear to answer.
The creature's single eye squinted, as if annoyed.
"Bumo! Bumomo! BumomomomomoBumo!!!" The raging beast said, clearly agitated at this point.
"Uhh...Bumo Bumo?" Twilight said , almost humorously.
"BUMO!!!!" The monstrosity screeched loudly as the music in the background began to morph into a more modern, terrifying incarnate of itself. [youtube=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EYtQQv4Z6HE]
As the music changed, as did the blob itself. It's outside color began to morph into a deep black, and the area around it's singular eye began to form green lines. It's eye began to illuminate a bright red in the center.
"Bumo!!!" The creature screeched as it outstretched it's arm far in front of him, slamming Twilight into the plexiglass wall that was originally her prison.
"Twilight!" Rarity screamed. She turned her head quickly to see a black ball coming toward her, which proceeded to shove her back harshly onto a wall. After regaining her senses she saw that more than one of the balls were coming to reform the giant creature.
"Earth Style! Gem Apocalypse!" Rarity said remembering various Jutsu from a book 'borrowed' from Twilight's hidden book collection.
As she finished her call, a number of gems began to shoot up from the ground in front of her, most of the gems impaling the towering beast. Unfortunately, the gems passed through it harmlessly. As it reformed it faced Rarity and squinted once more.
"Bumo Bumo Bumo BUMO!!" It yelled as it grabbed Rarity with both of it's hands. It held her up to its eye, crushing her with it's gargantuan strength. It may have been squishy like jello, but it had a grip that could rival a shark's jaws. Rarity attempted to struggle out of the arms of it but it was no use. She felt her femur and other leg bones begin to crack under the pressure of the beast.
Suddenly, a purple spark shot out at the beast, hitting home at it's eye. Instead of it simply going through it's eye, the beast fell back on its back, crushing the marble tiles underneath its weight. It sat slowly, shaking it's head.
"Th-thats it Rarity! Hit it's eye!" Twilight called upon realization of its weakness.
[Ponyville Restaurants District]
Crash Man lie still, blue energy still emanating from his body. He tried to get up multiple times, but couldn't, on account that his stomach was torn apart. He slowly moves his head bavkward, seeing Lektra sobbing profusely.
Time Man got up from behind the crushed crates that he had crashed into earlier.
"Thanks Spark Man I owe you one. My time would've been up if it wasnt for you."
Spark Man simply nodded.
"Oh. Forgot that you were mute. Ah well. Where's Dust Man?"
Spark Man simply shook his head.
"Don't know?"
Spark Man shook his head once more.
"I see. He's never on time is he?"
Spark Man shook his head again. Spark Man then pointed one of the electrical rods that took the place of his hand and pointed it at Lektra.
"Hmm. Don't know what to do about her. Put her outta her misery." Time Man commanded.
Spark Man closed his eyes as if lamenting Lektra's imminent death. He walked over to her and lifted both of his rods high into the air, them surging with electricity.
Lektra looked up to see nothing but silver and sparks headed her direction. She braced for impact.
Suddenly, a red flare flew by the two, knocking Spark Man off balance, causing him to fall back briefly.
"Hey you bucket of bolts! Didn't your creator tell you it isn't nice to pick on girls?!" A voice said from above the two.
Lektra looked up. "Blaze Wing!?"
"In the flesh." Blaze Wing said before rushing at Spark Man. He delivered two quick jabs at him before Spark Man swung one of his electrified rods at him, barely missing his wing, as he weaved to the right, before taking this opportunity to rush in for a few more hits.
"Damn!" Time Man cursed as he struck his usual pose, but for whatever reason it didn't work.
He looked at the meter on his arm and saw that his time slow was fully charged.
"What the?" He said to himself before looking at Lektra, who was smirking at him.
"You fool! What did you do?!" Time Man yelled, losing his temper.
Time Man rushed at Lektra, with intent to kill, but was tripped by something metal.
He fell off the edge of the building, screaming "Crash!" As he fell. As he made impact, he exploded into several blinking purple orbs, which carried themselves elsewhere.
"B..Bumo..." The Shadow Devil moaned as it sat up holding it's head, blinking it's single eye as it did.
"So your saying we have to hit it in the eye? That's a bit crude, darling." Rarity said, feeling some sympathy for the monster.
"Rarity, if we don't we're going to die!" Twilight pleaded with her friend.
Rarity got up onto her hooves and stretched, her back popping as she did.
"Alright then, let us get started!" She said as she smashed her hooves together. "Earth Style: Gem Catastrophe!" Rarity said as a giant gem flew out of the ground in front of her, it directing itself at the Shadow Devil.
"Bumo!!" The Shadow Devil shouted as it evaded it by splitting it's body in half, allowing it to rush past him, smashing into peices against the wall behind them.
It came back together in a matter of seconds, it's eye revealing itself once again. His eye glowed blood red as it shot a single lazer beam, burning the air surrounding it.
"Woah!" Twilight shouted as she rolled to the right to dodge it. She looked behind her quickly, to see the beam was still following her. She continued to roll and dodge, before the Shadow Devil saw he probably wasn't going to hit her, so he shifted his eye to attack Rarity.
Rarity bounded backward, dodging it just barely. "Earth Style: Gem Rush!" Rarity shouted as she materialized a gem in front of her, knocking it towards the Shadow Devil, hitting square in it's eye.
The Shadow Devil fell backward once again, it's eye now completely red. For awhile, it didn't move.
"Is it over?" Twilight asked Rarity, who answered by shaking her head.
"HMPH. I SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU." The Shadow Devil said in a deep, unreal voice.
"Wh-wha?"
"WHAT? SURPRISED I CAN SPEAK? WELL... I GUESS I SHOULD SHOW YOU MY TRUE FORM." The black monster said as it's eye flew from it's body, floating in the air before a white mass materialized around it, revealing Zero.
"Wh-what's that thing?" Twilight asked, her voice cracking a bit.
"YOU TWO PROVIDED SOME WELL NEEDED ENTERTAINMENT. BUT PLAY TIME IS NOW CONCLUDED." It said in a dark tone.
Rarity and Twilight backed up, bracing themselves for what was about to happen.
Instead of some dramatic transformation though, two dark blobs just popped out of it's body, opening their one eye.
Twilight and Rarity looked at each other confused.
Before the two mares could do anything the two blobs rushed them and splashed themselves onto their bodies, slowly covering the two in dark sludge.
"NOW THEN... MAYBE YOU COULD ENTERTAIN THESE TWO. I HAVE A WORLD TO WRECK." Zero said as it flew of into the city, explosion sounds reverberating through the buildings. "NIGHTMARE RARITY AND EVIL TWILIGHT SPARKLE!"
"Is this it?" Rarity asked herself solemnly, hoping this was not how she would end. Before she could blink, the two blobs came off of the two, landing on the ground in front of them.
"Wha?" Twilight said, just as confused as Rarity looked. She blinked her eyes and shook her head to make sure she was seeing things right.
The two blobs then began to move, seemingly attempting to create something.
The one on the right manifested into a mare shape, it's mane fuzzy and a bit spiked, but well curved. Her mane also had a sort of anatomy similar to Princess Celestia's mane. She so appeared taller than Rari t y, her good incarnate. Her fur had turned a dark purple tone and the area around her pupils had turned a deep black. As Nightmare Rarity manifested herself, as did the blob next to her.
The blob on the right converted into a young mare shape, a piece breaking off to form a shadow looking book. The mare herself had a very spiked and uncared for mane, which had turned it's color to deep shades of the original colors. Her fur had changed to a deep black purple, and her cutie mark became a single red star.
Rarity and Twilight backed up in fear.
"Twilight... I can't do this..." Rarity moaned, holding her stomach. "I... used too much chakra. He'll die..."
"He who?! Rarity this isn't the time to play right now!" Twilight said, slightly irked by Rarity possibly exaggerating. "What's wrong?!"
"I'm..."
"Rarity!"
"I'm..."
"RARITY!"
"I'm pregnant!"
Twilight looked back in a mix of shock and horror. "What?!"
Before Twilight could ask any more questions, her evil counterpart pounced her.
"Rarity. Just accept your fate." Nightmare Rarity said to Rarity as she sat on the floor scared for both hers and her child's life. "You gave me much complication replicating you as it did. That colt of yours in your womb. It has been crossed with Dark Energy. It may well be dead.
Rarity broke down then and there, sobbing her eyes out.
Nightmare Rarity said nothing as she wasted not time in trying to use a jutsu. She shifted her hooves quickly, making hand signs.
"Earth Style!" Nightmare Rarity started.
Suddenly, two boomerang shaped items flew into the room, one near each of the ponies, quickly starting to beep. They then created giant flare filled explosion.
Rarity and Nightmare Rarity both flew to opposite sides of the room, Rarity's mane singed and her front left hoof burnt beyond recognition. Her counterpart hit the wall across from her, with minimal damage.
Twilight also flew torward a wall, but her evil opponent didn't flinch.
Rarity looked upward at the hole in the room to see a red figure looking down on her. It was about as tall as the robot that injured Dark Side in his incident report, but it had a boomerang shaped thing on it's helmet.
"Target's acquired. Begin mission." It said as it teleported into the room.
[Ponyville District ER]
"So Starshooter you gonna tell me why you wouldn't tell me about this?" Dark Side asked as calmly as he could. After the incident that had occured earlier, Fluttershy acted as a bridge builder between the two, calming both Emerald and Dark Side down enough to where they could talk to each other with no anger disputes.
"Alright then. Well... the thing is...Dark Side you..." Starshooter said, unable to gather his words.
"C'mon Starshooter we dont have all day y'know." Dark Side proclaimed impatiently.
"If you knew about it Madara would figure out. Madara doesn't even know I exist. But he knows everything you know. He gets in your head and you don't even know it. How do you think he always knows where your at? I didn't want Emerald to be brought into this. She deserves better and that's what I have been trying to give her. My best. But now you, me, Rarity, all of us. We have to answer to him." Starshooter said in a soft, dark tone.
Everyone in the room froze, all of them now terrified for their lives.
"Is this true Dark Side?" Emerald asked in a shaken voice.
"Unfortunately yes. Now it's gonna be kill or be killed. This is between us, his robots, and him."
Spark Man sat up from the ceiling shaking his head as bolts tappered on him began to rattle. He looked up at Blaze Wing with the same neutral look on his face.
Blaze Wing looked back with a smirk of confidence.
For the first time in its lifetime, Spark Man felt an emotion. The death of his best friend, and comrade, had gotten to him.
.....Rage...
Spark Man got up and raised his rod high in the sky, thunderclouds forming as the electricity shot directly into the rods. He looked at Crash with a look of rage as Crash backed up.
"W...wait! Spark Man you don't have to do this!" Crash Man said in fear.
Spark Man shook his head solemnly.
"It is my obligation."
Crash Man's eyes went wide as Spark Man shot a giant crackling ball of electricity at Crash Man, hitting him full force. The attack launched Crash Man of the building and into Hooves and Horseshoes.
"Crash!" Lektra cried as she attempted to get onto her hind legs.
Spark Man looked at her, his eyes still blazing with anger, as he charged another shot, this time the electricity flowing onto his body. He condensed the energy into a clear ball of energy with sparks crackling off of it, signifying the sheer force put into it.
Lektra shreiked as the ball was shot at her. She braced for impac . but was shocked when she found the electric current flowing into her body rather than obliterating her. Spark Man's eyes grew wide in shock as all of the power that went into his attack coursed through Lektra's body.
Without knowing Lektra floated in the air as an electric bubble surrounded her. Then a powerful electric shock wave blew through the area from out of her body.
Spark Man braced himself for his imminent death.
Suddenly a black and yellow figure landed between the two. Spark man's eyes widened as the figure extended both arms, absorbing the electric ball until nothing but lonely sparks were left in it's wake. The figure turned to face Spark Man.
Lektra fell onto the fround in front of them, rebounding back onto her feet.
"Elec Man..."
[Star Summit]
Celestia landed near Canterlot, at the highest point in Equestria. She lie unmoving for a second or two, before Polaris tapped her on the head, waking her from her unconscious state. She shook her head before smirking at the fact that she had made it home alive. Suddenly she felt a small power surge under her wing. she lifted it to see a bag. It was a fairly small leather bag with a note attached that read, "Best Regards, Rosalina".
"I wonder..." Celestia thought aloud as she untied the knot that held the bag together.
When she did, an explosion of bright colors occured, and out flew dozens of multicolored spheres, all with a cross shaped symbol on them.
After she got over her initial shock she shook her head hoping that didn't just happen. If those are what she thinks they are...
Lektra and Crash Man held each other as they watched a post acopolypstic battle between Spark Man, Elec Man, and Blaze Wing. It seemed to be a back and forth battle. It seemed like no matter how much Blaze Wing was shocked, he always got back up. Likewise, no matter how burnt the two robot masters became, they kept going. It WS unfortunate, but buildings were on fire, and some bystanders had perished in the battle.
"Quit running and fight like man!" Elec Man yelled at Blaze Wing as he shot Thunder Sparks at him, their unpredictable patterns making them difficult to dodge.
"I'm a Pegasus not a man!' Blaze Wing yelled back as he barely dodged the crackling currents.
Blaze Wing countered with fire billowing from the bottom of his wings. Elec Man tossed a ball of electricity emanating from his fingertip to counter the gale of flames. The ball burst through the flames and hit the red Pegasus head on, knocking him into a burning building.
Blaze Wing held his head as he recovered.
"Dang that hurt..." He mumbled, trying to shrug off the pain.
He looked up as he got onto his hind legs, but cringed as he saw a black and yellow blur jump of the building across from him and bust through the brick wall next to him.
Blaze Wing immediately took flight, attempting to escape long enough to formulate a battle plan. He came to a screeching halt when he heard an explosion in the distance followed by a pony being launched into the air, busting through the building that he had originally took refuge in.
Blaze Wing heard a large crackling sound and looked back to see Dark Side, despite having crutches dodging and rolling expertly, avoiding a beam coming from a floating white figure with on eye.
"Fire Style! Moonlit Flame!" Dark Side shouted as he spewed a giant dragon shaped flame from his mouth. It traveled at blinding speed and just barely swept past Zero.
Zero created a ball of Dark Mass which then transformed into a giant spike, which nearly impaled Dark Side as he dodged to his left.
Dark Side hopped of the side of a building and attempted to headbutt Zero before it dodged upward and slammed its massive body down right on top of him, sending him meteoring down to the ground, creating a crater.
"Damn!" Dark Side cursed in agony.
Blaze Wing watched in horror. He was then slammed to the ground by a shock from being. As he was sent plummeting to the ground he heard words from below him.
"Never take your eyes of your opponent." He fell and felt a sharp pain through his gut. He looked down and saw two metal rods sticking out from his chest.
Blaze Wings eyes bucked from their sockets as he coughed up a large amounts of blood. Spark Man lie his former adversary onto the ground gently, as he knew he was in enough pain already.
Elec Man loomed over the convulsing body of the twitching Pegasus.
Elec Man smirked as he grabbed one of the injured pony's wings.
"Game." He said as he pulled it upward.
"Set." He said as he began to gently twist it.
"W...wait..." Blaze Wing muttered under his breath.
"AND MATCH!" Elec Man yelled as he used his strength to rip his wing fully off blood spurting from the stub of a wing he used to have.
"GAAAAAAUUUUGGHHHH!!!" Blaze Wing screeched in pain as he started violently convulsing.
Zero looked over at Blaze Wing and shook his head solemnly.
"PATHETIC."
Suddenly, as if on cue, a blue blur zoomed by Blaze Wing's body, leaving behind a rainbow trail. A hoof slammed into Elec Man's head, sending him flying into a nearby pile of rubble, which used to be the old horseshoe shop.
The blue pegasus laned next to Blaze Wing, who had fallen unconscious after going into shock. She glanced down at her old rival, lying covered in blood.
"Your gonna pay!" She proclaimed angrily, pointing at Elec Man who had crawled out of the rubble, dusting himself off.
"A bold claim pegasus girl." Said Elec Man as he held up finger, charging his electricity into it. "Bu-"
Before he even finished his sentence, Rainbow Dash rushed towards him delivering a barrage of blows all over his body, mainly hitting major joints or where organs would be.
Unfortunately for her, she did not notice Spark Man charging his electricity into his rods.
"Time to clip this pegasus's wings." The usually silent robit said evilly before shooting a crackling beam of electricity from his rods, it firing in a straight line at a speed unimaginable.
Rainbow Dash suddenly grabbed Elec Man's beaten body and held him behind her.
"SPARK MAN YOU IDIOT!!!!!" Screamed Elec Man as the beam hit him full force, completely eradicating him as he exploded into multipe yellow spheres of energy, which flew elsewhere.
Rainbow Dash wasted no time rushing Spark Man but was interrupted by a small rainbow colored sphere, bursting with energy flying into view.
"What the?" Muttered Rainbow Dash.
"Destroy it!!!" Dark Side yelled from across the destroyed district.
Spark Man seized the opportunity to take Dark Side's advice and pierced both his rods through the spheres. This resulted in his body glowing rainbow colors and the usually bright colors of anything around him to dim.

"........................."
Spark Man suddenly rushed at RD at a speed that would put her Sonic Rainboom to shame. He knocked her into ther air and teleported above her, costantly slashing at her with his electricity infused rods to the point that you could barely see blue on her, before finishing by using both rods to smash her downward into the ground, creating a giant cloud of dust.
Starshooter flew quickly through the air, but struggled every now and then, on account that he was also carrying Emerald Star.
"Do you see Dark Side yet?" Starshooter yelled since they were going so fast.
"I don't think..what the?" Emerald Star muttered under her breath as they arrived at the Ponyville shopping district which had been practically ripped apart. In the middle of the destruction was a giant crater with a bright light shining from the bottom. As they got closer they saw Rainbow Dash lying very still in the middle of the crater, blood covering her body.
"STARSHOOTER! IT HAS ANOTHER SHOT! " Dark Side yelled from another nearby crater.
Spark Man looked down at his rods, which were still teaming with electricity. Suddenly , he convulsed as all the energy inside of his body went to his rods. He rose them in the air, about a foot apart from each other as electric currents translated between the two, forming a giant electrical mass. The electricity was so dense some of his metal began to scrape off. He turned on the direction that Dark Side had screamed in and spotted Starshooter.
"Starshooter? " Emerald asked as she questioned Starshooter 'a next decision.
Spark Man shot the electricity forcing him backwards due to the great volume of power. Starshooter narrowed his eyes and expertly did a tailspin around the ball, but soon came to notice that it was following him. Starshooter struggled dodging it again and again due to Emerald'a struggling. Soon he got the idea to rush it towards Spark Man.
"WHAT IT TOOK YOU THAT LONG TO THINK OF THAT? " Zero chastised as he rolled his single eye.
Starshooter ignored him as he flew at top speed, him and Emeralds manes flowing together as if they were one. Emerald suddenly shot a blast of green magic from her horn at Spark Man , which wrapped itself around Spark Man, preventing his movement.as soon as Starshooter got inches away from him, he shot upwards, allowing Spark Man to take the blast full force causing an explosion massive enough to cause a Shockwave that send the two backward a few yards, with Starshooter catching Emerald before she fell.
Emerald and Starshooter sat up to see Spark Man still standing, but convulsing violently, unable to move.
"Now! " Cried Lektra as Crash Man , even with his injuries, pouncing Spark Man as Lektra ran up with her horn levitating a screwdriver, which undid his back panel. She then removed a small chip from a maze of candle in his back.
"Alright then. " Lektra said as she levitated the chip into a pocket on her toolbelt. "He shouldn't be bothering anyone for a long time. "
Crash Man picked Spark Man'a mangled body and tossed it over his shoulder.
Zero stared at the whole incident, deciding he didn't feel like fighting anymore. He allowed on drop of Dark Matter drop from his body before disappearing.
Dark Side looked up from the crater. "Where do you think your going Crash Man? "
Crash Man looked back over his shoulder.
"We have unfinished business. "Dark Side saidangrily as he tried to crawl out of the crater but couldn't due to his broken hoof.
"I don't fight without a reason anymore. " Crash Man said. As he and Lektra walked away.
"Well. Let me give you a reason! " Dark Side said menacingly as his eye turned into a Diamond surrounded by the Magatama shaped dots that made up the sharingan.
Suddenly, the space around Lektra seemed to distort as Crash Man watched her literally be filled from Space.
"What the hell did you do to her?! " Crash Man yelled angrily.
Dark Side just smirked.
(East Ponyville District)
The Ponyville correctional building had been utterly destroyed. There was no sign of Nightmare Rarity or the evil Twilight anywhere. Rarity began to squirm from the dirt and rubble. As she finally got herself all out of the mess she saw a red foot plant itself into the soil in front of her.
"Do what you must..." She told Quick Man as he aimed his Quick Boomerang at her.
As he shot it at her he found that it simply bounced off her forehead due to a magical shield
Quick Man looked behind him to see a tall Alicorn with flowing rainbow mane.
"Rarity where is Twilight?" Celestia asked seriously.
"Don't..know."
Celestia looked at Quick Man with a look of pure anger. She silently trotted up to Quick Man who looked back fearlessly.
Quick Man delivered a quick blow to Celestia's jaw, knocking her back a few feet. She rebounded quickly catching her footing as she shot two circular blasts out of her horn which began to surround Quick Man and went into his head.
Suddenly Quick Man felt dizzy and began to lean to both sides before Celestia rushed toward him, hovering in the air a bit as she used her hoof to slam his head into the ground.
She was about to deliver another strike before time stopped.
It didn't slow, it completely stopped.
Quick Man could feel his energy being drained by Flash Man's Time Stopper, so Flash Man hurried and grabbed him. Flash Man ran back with Quick Man on his back through the portal he came through back to Madara's castle.
Time resumes as soon as he left and Celestial had to flap her wings to avoid landing facefirst onto the ground.
"Where did he go?" Celestia asked herself.
(Shadow Star's Residence)
Lordav and Lordy Snow walked up to the house near the outskirts of the Everfree forest. Lordav knocked on the door.
"Shadow Star! We have a warrant to return a robot by the name of Sparky that is apparently in your possession."
"I won't ask you again Dark Side what did you do to her?!"
"Ah nothing much. She's just in another demention. Nothing personal to her, but all personal to you." Dark Side said evilly as his eye leaked blood.
Crash Man walked quickly towards Dark Side with obvious murderous intent.
Unfortunately, something black fell onto the path in front of him. It seemed to split itself into three desperate piles of Dark Matter, each forming large and wide humanoid figures, with one floating from the ground. The shadows around them began to shade revealing the colors red, blue, and dark brown.
Dark Side's eyes widened as he realized what was happening. It had been years since he last saw one of these. This could turn dangerous. He accidentally undid his Mangekyo Sharingan, teleporting Lektra back to her original position.
"What in-" Lektra started before she saw the three figures forming themselves.
Crash Man walked backward in fear.
The first one formed a large creature, maybe six feet in height. It was gray and black, with multiple red dots replacing where its eyes should have been. It had giant metal growths where it's arms would be, as a makeshift ball and socket joint. Its arms formed human like hands at the very tips of its arms. It had red arrows pointing where its fingers grew from. Its lower body was very small, completely black with small feet.
"Registeel!" The creature cried in a metalic voice.
Next to it formed a completely blue creature with very jegged edges around its main body, with multiple shining crystals sticking outwards from its back area. Its feet and arms where like the spikes on its back, with them being longer and shorter, respectively. It had small yellow dots around its eyes, just like Registeel, but in a different pattern.
"Regice!" The creature cried in a voice similar to Registeel's.
The final monstosity formed something similar to Regice, but a bit bigger. This one was made completely out of large boulders, seemingly stuck together. It was colored orange and brown a bit randomly around the area.
"Regirock!" It cried in a deep human like voice.
The three creatures looked around the area, surveying two unconscious ponies and a few live ones, along with one behind them.
The sturdy rock like one moved first as it moved at an average running speed towards Crash Man, tackling it full force, knocking him airborn. Crash Man did a flip in the air, aiming his arm at Regirock. He shot a Crash bomber at it, which stuck itself onto Regirock's arm. It ignored it as it took a rock of of its left arm and lobbed it at Lektra, who swiftly rolled out of the way, right in regice's path, who reacted by releasing an icy cold beam from its eyes. Lektra barely had time to react as the beam froze her solid.
Soon after, however, a magic beam of light started lighting from her horn as she used an electric current to begin to melt the ice surrounding her.
Meanwhile Regirock was continuously tossing rocks at Crash Man, who was getting hit by some occasionally.
Emerald Star looked over to Starshooter.
"We have to help!"
"We can't... we'll die..." Starshooter said, his eyes wide open in fright.
Emerald saw how scared he was. If he was this scared how strong exactly are these things? She scooted next to him and held his front hoof as they watched the battle unfold.
Dark Side had taken refuge in a nearby building.
"Damn. I don't have much chakra left..."
CRASH
Dark Side looked back to see that Registeel had broken through the window of the shop. Dark Side quickly darted behind a pillar. Seconds later a fist went through the pillar, barely misding his head. Dark Side's eyes widened as he galloped to the right, attempting to use a fire jutsu, but soon realizing he did not have enough chakra.
Registeel held it's arms out in front of it, creating a silver ball in between the two.
"Steel!" It cried as it shot the giant ball at Dark Side.
Dark Side's eye began to bleed as he used his Mangekyo Sharingan to teleport the ball away. Dark Side keeled over, huffing and tired from overusing the Mangekyo.
Just seconds after falling over the iron monstrosity towered over Dark Side's unconscious body. It lifted its fist, prepared to completely destroy Dark Side. It was stopped by a yellow beam hitting it, knocking it over.
"I thought your kind only existed in a different dimension." Celestia said as she landed in the room, coming through the window.
"Steel...." The creature moaned as it got back up onto it's feet.
"So your stil alive? Your pretty sturdy."
"Steel!"
Celestia shot another beam, but this time, Registeel put up a large wall of light, the energy being completely absorbed by it.
Registeel took the opportunity to fire another Iron Ball, which hit Celestia directly in the chest, sending her flying through a wall. Registeel walked toward the wall that Celestia had been launched through, prepared to crush her.
While Registeel was preoccupied, Rarity hopped through the window to find a bleeding Dark Side lying unconscious. She ran over to him ad put her hooves on top of his chest. She closed her eyes, which were wet with tears as she concentrated all her energy into her palms. A large field of healing surrounded the two as Dark Side began to flutter his eyes open. He sat up, healed in a matter of minutes.
"Rarity?" He asked as he hugged her. "How did you know where we were?"
"We saw the explosion. We have royal guards bringing Blaze Wing and Rainbow Dash to the hospital. We took them when those ruffians outside were distracted."
Dark Side looked forward to see Celestia being crushed by Registeel.
"Dark Side.. you have to help her!"
"I refuse! Hell would have to freeze over not once, but twice before i help her!"
An explosion stopped Rarity from trying to rebut.
Lektra flew threw the window of the shop knocking her head against a counter, which still had food on it.
Soon after her, Crash Man crashed through the ceiling landing inches away from Dark Side.
The other two Regi monsters walked in after them. Registeel stomped over to join them.
Emerald Star and Starshooter watched as a light shone in the direction of the battle. Emerald backed up a bit before feeling a hoof on her shoulder.
Starshooter looked back only to see a Mangekyo Sharingan eye.
Suddenly Starshooter was in a negative colored world, black water covering the grounding below him, him himself being bound to a giant steel wall. He struggled to move only to see that his hooves were bound by metal cuffs. He looked around, his neck hurting because it was bound also. He felt the tapping of footsteps ahead and looked forward quickly.
A dak figure marched towarde him, levitating a long sword.
"Starshooter. I see you have betrayed me." Madara said as he focused his cold gaze on Starshooter.
"You can't betray what you didn't trust at first."
"Now, now child. No need for the smart ass comment. Someone in your position shouldn't flap their mouth so rapidly." Madara said in a soft yet murderous voice as he used his magic to force the sword into Starshooters left ribcage, nearly piercing his lungs.
Starshooter clenched his teeth tightly, flinching harshly from the wound.
Suddenly another figure walked next to Madara, looking like a carbon copy of Madara.
"T-this is the tsukyomi!" Starshooter exclaimed through clenched teeth.
"Of course. Now tell me. This marefriend of yours. Emerald was it?"
Starshooter put on a tough look.
"Aw don't get all defensive yet. I have yet to ask my question. Do you remember 'Mega Evolution'?"
Starshooter just stared with the same look as before.
"Figures. It is the instance of genetic alternization, where it alters your chakra levels to an unimaginable level. It seems that she's able to do it."
"W...what?"
"And i happen to have found a light green stone a few years back." He said as he levitated it in front of Starshooter's face. It didn't look light green, but that may have been because of the tsukyomi.
"Now then. I'll give you this stone if you just do one thing."
Starshooter cringed from the sword in his ribs.
"I'm going to need one of your eyes. Heh...your under my control right now anyways. Just give it up."
"...."
"Still? There's no point resisting. Let's get this over with." Madara said as he levitated his sword up to his eye and gently slid it under his bottom eyelid.
Starshooter starting moving forcefully, causing the sword to cut at the corners of his eye.
"Now stop moving. A cut up eye is useless." Madara said calmy as his counterpart levitated a second sword and stabbed Starshooter in the pelvis with it.
Starshooter flinched upward screaming as the sword went deeper into his eye's canal. Madara quickly forced it upward, cutting the veins connecting his eye to his brain. Blood gushed out of his loosened eye socket as he struggled and convulsed uncontrollably. The eyeball fell onto the floor in front of thewall. Madara picked it up and dropped it into a glass container.
"This is just a genjutsu fool." Starshooter mumbled.
Madara smiled. "You think i don't know that? Izanagi!" Madara exclaimed as the Tsukyomi world melted away, leaving the two of them back in the destroyed district, with Starshooter having multiple swords sticking from his body and a missing eye.He fell to the ground, unconscious, fully succumbing to the pain.
Emerald was swooped behind a building before the whole ordeal by Lektra, who had previously unthawed. They watched as Madara opened a portal to go back to his world.
Emerald rushed from behind the building and tackled Madara, forcing the both of them through the portal.
"What in blazes?" Madara exclaimed as the two rolled off the top of each other onto Madara's throne room.
"You'll pay!" Emerald shouted, her voice echoing in the empty throne room.
"Of course I will." Madara said mockingly as he ran at Emerald puffing up his mouth. "Fire Style! Fireball Jutsu!"
Emerald rolled to her right, the fireball leaving sinders in its wake. She ran towards Madara and tackled him through the portal he was standing in front of.
They rolled on the floor of Madara's palace, attempting to toss the other off of them. Eventually, Madara won the exchange and tossed Emerald into a nearby wall, busting a hole in it the size of her body. Emerald quickly rebounded from the hole, ignoring the pain in her body.
Madara suddenly became surrounded in a purple flame as the same beast from his fight with Dark Side enveloped him, a headvand two swords revealing themselves from the raging flames. Madara swung one at Emerald, the helm hitting her square in the side, the friction sending herflying into a wall, creating a mini crater.
"Is this all one who can use "Mega Evolution" can muster?! Pathetic!" Madara taunted, recovering from his position. [Ponyville Shopping District]
Dark Side and the rest of the ponies engaged in the great battle stared upward at the giant behemoth.
