> Bonding (Sequel to Fragile Hearted Betrayal) > by R3M1X > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The next day...... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- SonicBoom awoke, and rose out of bed. He slowly flew to the wall where his cloak hung, The bloodstain reminded him why he was here. He put on the cloak and turned to his bed. There lay a heavily sleeping Fluttershy, body twitching every so often. He looked puzzled for a moment and remembered the night. "I hope I wasn't drunk." He muttered before trotting out of the room. He went to the door and tried to open it, it wouldn't budge. He looked out the window and saw nothing but white. "Snow, I forgot." He muttered. "Well, I'm here for a while, might as we-" he turned and saw Fluttershy, walking downstairs in a groggy manner. "Hey, uhh Fluttershy, erm... Good morning." he said trying to start a conversation. Fluttershy looked up, pointing her gaze towards SonicBoom. "Erm.....hey..." She said, they both were thinking about the night before and they knew the other was as well. "Uhh Fluttershy, you hungry?" SonicBoom asked. "I am pretty hungry i guess." she answered. "I'll cook breakfast." SonicBoom quickly said before darting to the kitchen. "Hey Fluttershy, what do you want to eat?" He asked. "I'll have anything." she said from the living room. SonicBoom just whipped together a wheatgrass sandwich for himself, and an elegant combination of grasses for Fluttershy. "Here you go" he said as he handed her the plate. "So about last nig-" he was cutoff by Fluttershy as she leaned in close. "Yes?" she asked, with her head resting on his lap, her blue eyes glistening. "I was getting lonely, but when you came in it was if the entire room were to brighten." he said, "I think that destiny made this happen, made me love Dreamer, made her betray so I would go to the forest and meet you." he continued. Fluttershy came up and held SonicBoom's muzzle up. She then leaned in close and kissed him, this time he did not act suprised. "Oh you think you got me?, well how 'bout now?" SonicBoom said as he threw a snowball at one of the Crusaders. "Oh no you don't!" Scootaloo yelled as she hurled a snowball at him. He shook it off. "Good shot" he commented before he whipped up a whirl of snow, using it as a distraction. The Crusaders launched snowball after snowball at the whirl, while SonicBoom flew overhead, carrying a heap of snow. "Bombs Away!" was the last thing the Crusaders heard before having a cartload of snow dumped on them. SonicBoom touched down gently, ruffling his wings. "And that is how you do-" he said before being hit with a snowball. SonicBoom looked to the side where he got hit and saw Fluttershy giggling. "Alright you fillies should get going." Fluttershy said. "Okay, well a snowball fight did not get us our cutie marks." Applebloom said, walking away. "Hey SonicBoom, you have a letter" Fluttershy yelled up the stairs. "I'm coming, I'm coming." he said coming downstairs, his cloak on, but no hood on. She hooved him the letter. "Oh, this is not good." he whispered while nodding his head. "I have to go.". "Go?, where?" Fluttershy asked. "It is urgent, someone needs me." he said before going upstairs. He came down about ten minutes later, wearing orange goggles and carrying his knife. "I will be gone a few days at most, take care.". he said, almost out of the door. Fluttershy bolted towards the door, almost faster than seeable. She flew up to SonicBoom and kissed him. He knew this one was coming and instantly embraced it. They hugged for a few seconds, then he left. Fluttershy held up her hoof, and a parchment of paper was in it. "Now let's see where you are going." she said to herself. "Whi-Whitecap Mountain?" she said She looked at the end of the letter and the name part was crossed out and said; Nice try. She growled in anger, He knew what I would try! she thought. "Well Runner does most far journeys. If SonicBoom is leaving, he'd probably see him." She said, shoving Angel off of her lap. "Yea', he came by, he sai' he was goin' to get some supplies at the market" Runner said, leaning on the counter. "Thank you so so so much for your time." Fluttershy said. "Ya' know, there is a way you coul' repay me." he said, a smirk growing across his face, while he reached across the counter at Fluttershy. "Leave me alone!" she screamed, when his hoof grabbed her's. "Hey, Runne-" SonicBoom said, walking in the shop, seeing what Runner was trying. "Dont touch her." he said eyes hidden by his cloak. "I don' want to." he said, tempting fate practically. "I will just take you out back, little perty one." SonicBoom walked up to the counter "It was not a question, it was a command." SonicBoom barked. Runner had Fluttershy almost over the counter by now. SonicBoom turned around and before Runner knew it, SonicBoom's back hooves were in his face. "Go now!" he commanded Fluttershy. Fluttershy ran out, and saw SonicBooms cart. She jumped inside, using the supplies to hide herself. "Tha' wa'nt ver' nic'" was what Runner said, unable to speak right since he got kicked. "Yul' regt' tha'" he continued. He drew out a whip from behind the counter "Dan' ya' lit'l varm'n" he said while lashing SonicBoom. "No, you will regret that" he said before he bit the whip, and using all his strength, heaved Runner across the counter and into the door. Runner unsheathed a knife. "Perty un' aint she" he said, being able to talk normally now. SonicBoom took out his own knife "No, this one is." They stood off for what semed like an eternety, before SonicBoom flew up and made a large gash in Runner's leg. Runner grumbled and retreated the back room. SonicBoom went over to his cart and laid down an extra cloak, just in case. "Why was Fluttershy there?" he asked himself, and left, heading south. after he was outside of Ponyville he started sprinting, then lifted off. Fluttershy poked her head out and saw the ground far beneath the cart. She hid her haid again, scared. After what seemed like hours, they landed. and it suddenly got very cold. "We must be here." she said to herself. More hours passed until the cart stopped for a while. Then all fluttershy saw was a white blinding light, followed by "Wh-what are you doing in my cart?!". "Ugh, here take these." was heard before a pair of orange goggles were thrust at her. Fluttershy put on the goggles and saw SonicBoom with a look of dissaproval. "I don't have time to go back to Ponyville, so you will have to come with me." he said while helping her out of the cart. > Twenty-two below > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So you snuck into SonicBoom's cart?" Rainbow Dash said, starting a fire. "Yeah, hey SonicBoom, give her the other cloak, it will keep her warm." Sco said, handing her some warm broth in a mug. "Fluttershy, I guess it is time to tell you why we are at Whitecap mountain." SonicBoom said while draping a cloak identical to his over her. "One year me and Sco dared each other to go to the top of the mountain, so we made a game of who would get to the top, but we had to try to slow down the other. but a snowball went horribly wrong, and we decided to go together. and once at the top, we found a temple. We thought it was safe to enter, but we were wrong." SonicBoom said. "We entered and saw a gaping maw of blackness,and a bunch of Canterlot gaurds, that protected the rest of Equestria from "It" So every year at the time of the first snow, we make the journey up the mountain, to give them help, and supplies." Sco finished for him. "So why is Rainbow here?" Fluttershy asked. "For the same reason as you, she did the same thing that you did and has come with us every time." Sco said. Fluttershy noticed that Rainbow and Sco were wearing matching cloaks, Then looked at her own, it was matching SonicBooms. "Y-you knew I was going to c-come didn't you?" she asked. "Yeah. I knew you were in my cart from the second you jumped it, that is why I brought my spare cloak, and crossed out the name on the letter as a practical invitation." SonicBoom replied. "I'm so predictable, aren't I?" Fluttershy asked. "No, It was a random guess." SonicBoom replied. "Should set up the tent?" Sco asked. "Yeah, It is getting cold." SonicBoom answered. About twenty minutes later the enormous sent was set up somewhat far inside a cave. "So Rainbow and Sco, you two get that section, Fluttershy you sleep over in there, where it is warmer, and I will take first watch." SonicBoom said as he was pointing to sections. He zipped up the section flaps. Before closing Fluttershy's he grabbed a rifle "Good night" they said to each other before the zipper was closed. He pushed the carts into the cave and started trotting around the tent. For sometime it was silent until a gunshot rang through the cave, followed by "Get off of me!. Fluttershy unzipped the flap and looked around for something, and she saw SonicBoom's knife. She picked up the knife. Sco came out of the section, carrying a rifle, followed by Rainbow Dash carrying a crossbow. They went outside of the tent and looked for SonicBoom. Fluttershy saw him fighting an ominous looking pony. "Shoot now!" Sco yelled. They both shot at the pony. It reared back and went for Fluttershy. It seemed like life was now in slow motion as Fluttershy saw the black pony lunge at her, its snarled teeth, red eyes, and in those eyes she saw no soul. As it was lunging at her it stopped suddenly cocked it's head backwards and dropped, behind it SonicBoom was snarling, a shining silver knife that had some blue liquid on it was in his hands, his expression was the same as it was at Runner's, except there was no warning to not touch her this time. "Woah, It pissed SonicBoom off." was all Sco said. "Are you alright?" SonicBoom asked Fluttershy. "Wha-what was that?" She asked. "I asked are you alright." He said again. "Yeah, I'm fine, now what was that thing?" She responded. "Don't have a name for them." He answered. "Excuse me, them?" She asked. "Yeah, them" SonicBoom responded, while cleaning the silver knife. "Here." He said before handing The rifle to Sco and the knife to Fluttershy. "Sorry I had to kill something with it first." was all he said before going in the tent. Fluttershy noticed that Sco and Rainbow were taking guard together. "Why where you alone guarding?" she asked SonicBoom. "Do you want to stand guards and defend yourself and others from those things?" he asked her. "Point taken" she replied before going into her and SonicBoom's section. The rest of the night nothing happened. > Snowblind > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The wind was furious, blowing snow every which way. "Hey SonicBoom, Why are there no holes in these cloaks for wings?" Fluttershy asked. "Two reasons. One: it gets cold so the cloaks are insulated,and making a hole would let heat out. Two: The winds get harsh, wings are not meant for flying in this, it removes temptation." He replied. The trek ahead was mostly quiet, well the wind was too loud for them to talk over. The snow was turning to ice shards "Also reason number three: Ice shards" Fluttershy said into SonicBooms ear. the storm subsided for a while, and the saw the summit was a half day away. "Hey Sco, find any caves?" SonicBoom asked. "Just a small one" he answered. "Smaller tents would be better" Sco continued. After a little while, they realized, it wasn't dusk, it was dawn. "We can keep going, We can make the summit today!" they all cheered. "C'mon we have like fifteen hooves until we get there!" SonicBoom said while helping Fluttershy up the trail. They made it all the way up and entered the temple. "Ah Boom, Sco, Rainbow, and erm, do I know you?" one of the guards said as they entered. "SharpPoint, this is Fluttershy, fluttershy this is the guard in charge up here." SonicBoom said. They dropped off the supplies had a meal, and started up the mountain again. "Uhh SonicBoom, shouldn't we be going down the mountain, not up?" Fluttershy asked as the trail got steeper. "We usually stay a week here at Whitecap mountain" he replied "A week?" she asked. "Just wait. You will like this." Sco, Rainbow and SonicBoom said in unison. "Okay" was what she said before they reached the end of the trail and saw a large home resting on the mountain. "Who lives there?" Fluttershy asked, awed at the sight of the home. "It's SonicBoom's place, it is his property." Sco answered. "I've been meaning to ask why did you live in that apartment in Cloudsdale, instead of here?" Sco asked. "You and I both know that answer." SonicBoom Replied. The four entered SonicBoom's home. "Sco, you are in the room you are always in. Fluttershy, follow me." SonicBoom Said. He led her into a large bedroom with a huge window that allowed you to see Canterlot and beyond. "The view is breathtaking" Fluttershy said. "As are your eyes." SonicBoom replied. "Corny!!" Sco yelled from the doorway. Night fell like a wet blanket, Rainbow Dash and Sco were "Asleep" in their room. SonicBoom and Fluttershy sat on the couch that faced the window. Fluttershy looked at SonicBoom, she noticed that her cloak was nicer, and looked warmer that his. Her wandering gaze went up from the cloak to his head, more specifically his eyes. The emerald color captivated her, she cuddled up to him. "When I saw Runner grabbing you, At first I thought you had betrayed me, but then I thought: No. You would not do that to me, then when one of them tried to grab you, I went insane You know what it was going to do to you? It would have it's way with you and then dispose of you, And I would not let that happen. they did it to one I thought had loved me. But she let it happen." SonicBoom said. "I love you Fluttershy." He said. "I love you too SonicBoom". Fluttershy said. They looked at each other before kissing and then they had sex. > What am I to you? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next morning a knock came on SonicBoom's door. He got up and looked around, Fluttershy was gone. "Come in" SonicBoom said. "We have a problem. Dreamer took Fluttershy." Sco said. "What?!" SonicBoom yelled. "She left a note. it says: The tides have turned, I have leverage now. Go to Mt. Magnus if you ever want to see her alive again. -Dreamer." he read. "I'll go with you." he offered. "No this is my job. Dreamer has gone mad. I must stop her." SonicBoom rejected his offer. He put on his cloak and took the knife that he brought to the Gala. "Get the guards from the pit, leaving some." he said to Sco. before darting off to Mt. Magnus. "Almost there. Just keep flying, for Fluttershy." he said to himself. His muscles were aching and burning, but he kept flying. A group black pegusai were tailing him. As they got closer he could make out shapes of weapons. "Fuck, who did Dreamer hire?" he said as one whizzed past him, spear almost hitting him. "Just give in!" one said to him, seeing that he was tired. "Hell no!" SonicBoom yelled at him before ramming into him. "We warned you." he said and soared to the right. SonicBoom turned around and saw the group closing in. One with a sword flew and hit SonicBoom in right hind leg. The pegasus gave a grin and then lost it as SonicBoom's knife went through his skull. Red blood trickled out of the wound. SonicBoom Removed his knife sheathed it and took the dead pegasus' sword. "Alright, lets dance!" he yelled. Two Spear wielding Pegasai flew towards him. SonicBoom threw the sword at one of them, hit it right in the skull. The dead pegasai crashed into the other one, spear piercing a vital organ. One was left. SonicBoom outsped him and headed for the now in sight Mt. Magnus. Mt. magnus was an inactive volcano, no lava or anything. just stalagmites, sharp stalagmites. SonicBoom landed on the rickety observeatory platform. Deranged laughing echoed through the caverns. SonicBoom followed the laughter through the caverns, every twist and turn. He entered a large cavern and looked around. He just saw bloody figure lying on the floor. He looked at the body, it was a golden pegusai, she was still breathing. "Hello, remember me" a voice came from the body on the ground. He looked at the eyes, they were ruby. "I had fun today, a colt came by and we had fun."it said. "Drop the motherfucking act Dreamer." SonicBoom barked. "Okay, I thought i would just have some fun, mess with your fragile mind" She said, circling SonicBoom. "Cut the Bullshit, where the fuck is Fluttershy?" He Asked in an enraged voice. "She could be in the back room, living the lie I just told you. Could be impaled on a stalagmite, who knows." She said laughing like a lunatic now. "Hey Runner, bring her out, the mindplay won't work." she barked into the darness. "Did you have fun Runner?" she asked the shape emerging from the shadows. "I sure did." the shape replied, while pulling a chained up Fluttershy. "You have gone too far." SonicBoom Growled. "Ya' I did, gone too far in." Runner laughed."That was not funny" Sonic said grimly While he was laughing he suddenly stopped, he looked down and saw that his windpipe had been cut "Now will you shut the fuck up?" SonicBoom said. He freed Fluttershy, removed the gag she had on and helped her up. "Stay" he motioned with his hoof. "That little whore enjoyed the entire time that Runner had fun." Dreamer said, crossing her hooves. "WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" SonicBoom Screamed at Dreamer. "At least grant me one last dance." Dreamer said as the music from when he pounced her at the Gala started. "Never." he barked, slobber flew from his muzzle. "I really would reconsider" she said as more of the black pegusai emerged from the shadows, spears pointed at Fluttershy. "May I have my last words? "Aww sure." she said. "Thank you, NOW!" he yealled and the pit guards flew in, spears poised at Dreamer. "Now, make your men stand down." he said. "Or what you will kill me? I do no-"she said before being inturrupted "No, I will kill myself." he said, in a calm voice. "Stand down." she growled. "Now..." he said before pouncing on Dreamer and plunging his knife into her cold heart. "Wow, i'm suprised this killed a heartless beast." he said before the Black pegusai retreated into the shadows. "Fluttershy, come here." he said. She walked up him. "I'm sorry. He forced me to do it." she said while crying. "Shhhh, I came as fast as I could. I should be the one sorry" SonicBoom said. He looked down and saw Dreamers body was gone. "Shit, I must not have killed her, Fluttershy, go back to Sco, he will protect you, I have to finish this." SonicBoom said. To be continued...... > Standoff > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Left, right, right, left, right, right, middle. The caverns stretched on for an eternity, running all the way under all of Equestria. Laughter, hysterical laughter broke the silence. "How the hell are you still living?!" SonicBoom yelled into the tunnels. "Fetch" was the reply he got. A sword flew through the air, making a reverberating Clang! as it hit the floor of the cavern. He peered into the diretion from which the sword was thrown. Light suddenly illuminated the cavern as torches were lit. Dreamer was in the only pathway that led forwards. "I said fetch." she said. SonicBoom floated there, giving her a look that he assured that he wouldn't fall for the trick. "Fuck, you are no fun anymore." she said, then chuckled. "How the fuck are you alive, let alone laughing?" he asked. "Simple, one of the hired Unicorns morphed himself into me, and took the hit." She said. She pulled a knife from her backpack. "This thing almost killed me, pity, it will be your end" she said and flung it at SonicBoom. It flew towards him, hit his left wing, and pinned him to the wall. "Now you will watch as I gut you." she cackled. A golden streak flew by Dreamer and her muzzle started to bleed. "Dont lay one fucking hoof on him." came a familiar voice. The golden streak cleared up into Fluttershy, holding the silver knife he had given her three days earlier. "Make me." Dreamer said. "Okay." was all she heard before two horizontal gashes appeared on her wings. "You bitch!" she screamed. "Look whe the fuck is talking." Fluttershy responded. "Fluttershy, free my wing." SonicBoom said, a plan forming. She took out the knife and flung it. "Disarmed." was what dreamer said before lunging at SonicBoom, but instead of stabbing him, her sword got stuck in the rock wall. SonicBoom flew towards the sword that had been thrown before the candles were lit. He picked it up. Lunged at Dreamer's head, the sword went through soundless, Blood already pouring from the wound. He removed the sword and it made a sickening slosh as it exited the wound. He felt around the head, no horn, even shadow illusion made things go invisible or change, but they were always there, and any transformation spell would have taken too long to complete. "It is actually ove-" SonicBoom got out before Fluttershy kissed him. After a while they unlocked muzzles and Fluttershy said "Thank you.". they both fell to the floor, exausted. "The nightmare is finally fucking over. Forever." he said and glansed at Dreamer's lifeless body, still stuck to the wall. "I think it would be a good time to go." Fluttershy said. "Yeah I guess." He agreed. Flying out of Mt. Magnus is tough, flying out with only one working wing is next to impossible. Fluttershy saw SonicBoom struggling to keep up. Eventually he collapsed and fell three hooves to the ground with a thud. Fluttershy landed soughtly next to him. "Hey, I heard something over there!" came a familiar voice. "Fluttershy, SonicBoom, Sco I found them!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Rainbow Dash attended to SonicBoom. "He isn't breathing!" she screamed. Fluttershy knocked Rainbow out of the way. "No, no, don't die on me damn it!" she yelled, half crying. He coughed up a little blood. "Flu-Fluttershy, did we do it?" he asked, half smiling. "Yes, we did it." she said, tears flowing freely. SonicBoom coughed up more blood, then his body went limp. He woke up in a soft bed, or walled bed. He could see stars out, nightime. Fluttershy's voice came up. "He had a great life, considering his mental issues. He saved me more than once. Showed me many things. He will be dearly missed." she started to cry. Who was she talking about? It hit him like a ton of bricks. Im dead. He got up and everyone gasped. "Wai-wha?" he said. Fluttershy tackled him. "You're alive!" she screamed. "Dont ever fucking do that to me again!" she said while hugging him. He was dressed in his cloak, "What day is it?" he asked. "It's been a week since Mt. Magnus." she choked out, in tears of joy.
