Lesson 2: It isn't always Darkest before Dawn?(Part 2: You can always recognaize the Honest and Kind Girls by their Glances.)
"He's gone, oh of all the worst possible things that could happen, THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING EVER!" Schreeched Rarity as she did a twirl and fainted onto a nearby couch.
"What-what do we do we can't just let him wander into the forest alone?!" Squeeked the pegasus mare looking around the now Duskless room, sure he was brave but she lived near the forst and knew how dangerous it could be.
"Just what is that Nerdicorn thinking, we have to find him fast!" Growled Dash she hated to be ditched and also she did remember but was ashamed, it echoed in her mind laying near death saved by him, she had to hate him, she just had to. Dusk made her feel weak, to fix this to fix her pride she had to repay her debt it was the Dashian way.
Dusk now appeared before the forest on the border between it and ponyville, as he approached the forest he was stopped by Amuro who was leaning against a tree a sly smirk on his face. "Knew you would come Dusk, just your way always a do-it-yourselfer."Chuckled the sagely young looking knight.
"You trying to stop me Amuro? Because if you are I'll just teleport past you, nopony listened not you and not my brother and now its happened so out of my way."Dusk took a stance ready to plow past him if need be.
"No not really go on ahead its what the princess would have wanted...or I assume just remember to come back alive guy, I remember when I gave you that lesson on Magesword style use it trust me you'll need it in here even if it was one of your worst subject." Teased the amber haired Stallion as he trotted lightly past Dusk. "I'm just her to make sure nothing comes out and nopony who isn't supposed to goes in and your supposed to goodluck."
Dusk raised a brow rather confused, yet he had to time for questions as he walked into the forest entrance already able to tell things here were not normal. "All this mist its teeming with mana and so's the dirt and grass and the tree's it-it feels almost alive?"
Meanwhile at the ancient castle deep within the forest Nightmare-Moon had arrived looking upon the shtattered throne's and tattered tapestries she closed her eyes remembering back all this memories echoing out as she let out a loud ear splitting roar. "SILENCE, SILENCE IT ALL, ITS WEAK I DON'T NEED IT NOW!" She holwed to the moon seeing the bright pale light within the night sky reaffermin her focus.
"Weakness, yes weakness but I know the truth."
"The moon glows bright on my kingdom tonight
but I'm nowhere to be seen
It's lunar isolation and it looks like I'm the queen
My stars are glowing, unappreciated now
I tried to keep it in, but I don't know how."
"Don't let them in, don't let them see
be the good mare you always have to be
conceal don't feel, don't let them know
Well now they know…"
As she sang her shadow oozed out of the ground becoming a massive black inky sea around her as the magical lunar rune appeared below her feet.
"Let it go, let it go
can't hold it back anymore
let it go, let it go
show them what your power's for
The moon is mine
and it's here to stay
let the night rage on…
the dark never bothered me anyway."
the shadow took the forms of several all black ponies of shadows all with glowing turqoise eyes, walking around Nightmare moon in circles as the damamged throne room began to repair itself.
"It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
and now that I've returned the sister that controlled me can't get to me at all.
Only her student remains in my way, I'll get her back, I'll get him soon.
You can call me Empress Nightmare Moon.
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
I'm free…"
The shadow ponies all zoomed out of the windows of the throne room as a new flag appeared above the now repaired throne resembling the Mare in the Moon.
"Let it go, let it go
I'm one with outer space
Let it go, let it go
It's darkness you will face
Here I stand, and here I stay
Let the night rage on…"
She grabbed several stones from the meteor that carried her to earth and merged it with her dark energy creating a stonelike pony with rabbit like ears and big azure eyes.
"My power flows into the nightmares of each Shadow soul,
I'm starting to realize the beckoning of my heart and soul!
The darkness covers over, everybody screams
No you don't want me back, I'm evil now it seems…"
"Let it go, let it go
I'm the princess of the night
Let it go, let it go
I'll be causing all this fright
Fear me now! No more light of day
Let the night rage on…
The dark never bothered me anyway."
She sang echoing out as her shadow ponies galloped into the forest and heading to the four corners of Equestria. Nightmare moon looked around the newly rebuilt throne room only the two side thrones remaining in disrepair as she walked to the now large edged black throne and sat upon it as her Lunar Stone Pony servant bowed to her. "Welcome to thine service young Vesta one of the Night Asteroid four, you shall be thine loyal servant here as Vesta, Ceres and Pallas were upon the moon until they and Nightfright may come. Soon once I have gathered enough terror energy from the ponies and summoned my army of darkness from the moon and nightmares from the dream realm not only Equestria but the entire planet shall bow before my endless night!"
Juno indeed bowed to her empress now with the deepest respect, "As you wish empress the shadow ponies have already gone to collect energy what of the castle though we don't have many guards?"Asked the Luna Stone pony rather perplexed as to why her mistress sent every dark shade away and left only her and her empress here.
"Doth thou dare question me Juno? I brought you from the moon and gave you your body and here thou are seeing the earth as thou always dreamed, besides the forest has plenty of tricks and treats for any foalish ponies who dare to come for me."She cackled as seven shadows appeared in a luna stone crystal ball she created by pressurizing the remains of the meteorite.
"Yes the Five Trials of Harmony none have ever passed it and none ever shall."Just then Nightmare-Moon winced slightly in pain before shaking her head. "Yes none that-that is why your dear empress chose it...yes that is why."
As the Mares headed towards the forest they came upon creepy chattering around the entrance, the girls all gathered in a small circle watching eachothers backs each having saddlepacks of supplies and each on edge. "It-its porbably jus some furry little critters right Fluttershy?" Asked AJ looking towards where Fluttershy was only to see her gone.
Fluttershy was shivering and hiding behind Rainbow Dash. "Th-thats no animal I've ever heard and I've heard them all." Out of the darkness shot several Shadow Pony's hissing and roaring their blank black muzzles unhinging into sharklike mouths as they lunged on the mares.
Dash, AJ and Rarity took fighting stances a bunch of paper shuriken zoomed out of the tree's hitting the Shadow's in the heads and imploding them as Paper jumped down from the tree's wearing black nightguard armor. "Hey um sup? Your lucky me and Amuro are patrolling the border, but seriously things are bad shadow pony's are coming left and right its dangerous you ladies should go home okay?"Pleaded Paper removing her helmet and wiping her brow as two royal guardsmen and two large paper pony dolls she was magoically controlling approached.
"That's awfully sweet of you, Sugercube," Applejack spoke up. "But Equestria's our home too. Plus, ya forgot ta put a few facts together: Our new friend Dusk yeah he ran on in there to get some fancy-schmacy weapon ta help he's some kinda new Emissary and well he needs us, I know I jus met'em but I can just tell ya know?"
"yeah Nerdicorn needs usso move it folder we got awesomeness to deliver!" Winked Dash causing Paper to blush at the sheare bravery of these five Mares.
"Fine, fine go but be careful also there is a royal research student in the forest near here aswell if you find her bring her with she may have some maps that can help you, also take this."Paper pulled out a tailsmen from her saddlebag tossing it to AJ. "Its a magical beacon use that to alert us here at the border if you need a rescue I can send in some pegasi to help, but its only good once so choose wisely."Explained Paper placing her helmet back on and saluting the fivesome of fillies.
"Mighty obliged Ms. Knight we'll make sure ta alert ya ifin we need ta come on gals we gots a Unicorn to corral and a Demon ta dominate." Aj gave a tip of the hat to paper and winked to her friends as she walked inside the entrance and they began to track Dusk by his hooftracks and a little aerial support from Dash.
Dusk walked lightly through the entrance to the forest shivering a bit. "Alright, I-I should be here now the opening grove of the Everfree Forest! Now that I'm here I have to find the elements and stop Nightmare-Moon But, first I have to find a way down off this cliff who puts a cliff right at the start of a forest? Well regardless its no time for distraction" Groaned Dusk unaware he was being watched by a pair of glowing slitted eyes from atop the tip of the cliff as a nightrune appeared in the eyes of the mysterious creature.
It let out a mighty roar which caused entire area to shake Dusk losing his footing and sliding down the mountainous area. "Whoa Whats happening?!" Screamed Dusk in terrible shock as he grabbed hold of a ledge his undertrained and frail body unable to lift himself up as his back legs dangled over the deep ravine. "If-if I fall I'm dead and with all this shaking I can't concentrate to teleport...this is how I'm gonna die? NOT FAIR!" He the top of his lungs it echoing throughout the forest his grip about to give.
"Hold on! I'm a-comin'! " Cried out a brave southern drawl as Dusk had just lost his grip and was about to fall his hoovesd tighyl gripped by AJ first on the scene. "I gotcha pretty boy."
"Applejack!" he screamed in panic. "What-what do I do?"
The mighty ground shaking roar returned as a giasnt Craigadile lept from atop the cliff wall sliding down the rocky slope its jaw open and ready to devour the duo.
AJ closed her eyes focusing and smirking. "Let go, just let go."
"What? Buck no that would kill me, Are you crazy you country bumpkin I'm not a pegasi?!"Whimpered Dusk afraid of his imminent death if she held onto him they would both die, but if he let go then just he would die how could he make such a choice?
"Ah'm not gonna lie, th' situation looks none too good fer you, either ya stay and we both get eaten or ya drop, but I promise you'll be safe. What I'm sayin' to you is the honest truth. Let go, and we'll both be safe, I'd never lie to ya fancy-boy." she said, and with the purest and most trustworthy looking in her shimmering emerald eyes Dusk Shine had ever seen, she smiled. The two looked at each other, as if peering into the others heart.
"Those eyes, those beautiful eyes of yours, I trust you" he whispered, and released his grip. Calmness overtaking his body as he let go maybe this was the right choice, the truly heroic choice and destiny always sought? "I guess this is the end...wait one sec...WHAT IN FAUST AM I DOING!?"Screamed Dusk breaking the tender self sacrifisng moment as he began to scream again. "I'm gonna die for a mare I just met! Ahhhhhhhh!"He then was perplexed as to why he was not dead, his eyes shot open darting around. "Oh my gosh I'm alive, I'm actually alive somehow Dash, she-she and Fluttershy caught me and now they're holding me I can't believe it she must have known I can't belive I actually doubted her."Smiled Dusk as he sighed contently the two pegasi gals gently putting him on the ground.
Just then Dusk realized AJ was still up there with the Cragadile. "Oh no Applejack gals get me back up there I have to save Applejack she's just an earth pony she would need some serious power to take down a magical monster like that!"
Rainbow Dash just chuckled her forleg crossed finding some sort of humor in what Dusk just said. "Kinda racist there dude then again guess you haven't seen to many Earth Pony's."
"Forget you then Dash I'll just go up there myself."Dusk closed his eyes and focused himself linking to the Mana inside himself and around the area vanishing once more and appearing atop the cliff from before.
"Applejack I came here to save you!"Said Dusk dramatically like a hero from one of his fantasy books he loved to read picturing AJ as some damsel in distress.
"No need Sugarcube Charge mana here we go." The cragadile came down on AJ who seemed to vanish in a flash of Orange light the monster biting into the stone, AJ was above the beast and came down with a thunderous heel drop jumping off the monsters head then doing a mighty spin kick with her back left leg. "Yeehaw say hey to bucky Mcgilacutty ya handbag!" Craig A. dile as large as he was, was oddly sent flying across the ravine and into another mountain shooting so far it practically became a star.
"Apple family Brawl'N'Buck Applesmash and deliver." She tipped her hat and spit landing gracefully on the ground on her back legs then went back to all fours.
Dusk's eyes had become like plates and his jaw had dropped at this display, "She-she is a monster what is she Marecules?" Gulped the frail bodied Unicorn stallion, never in his whole life had he seen a display of strength like that in Canterlot the Unicorn capital of Equestria.
AJ looked to the sky seeing Dash hovering there in the air giving an approving nod and a sly smirk taking AJ down to the others while Dusk teleported back down.
As they continued Dusk looked around at the others a huge air of awkward silence had overtaken the group. Dusk was now walking next to AJ groaning out another sigh, "Um… back there at the cliff," he tried to explain not used to giving thanks to others for a rescue.
"Yeah what?" Asked AJ a curious look on her freckled orangish face.
"I just want to tell you, that what was kind of a heat-of-the-moment, thinking-I-was-totally-gonna-die thing, and well being all raised all chivalrously" His face was all red and aflush with huge amounts of embarrassment. "I want to tell you that I don't think of you that way, okay? I know your not a bumpkin and your not some damsel to be saved and well I-I'm sorry if saying you had pretty eyes made things weird because I didn't mean it your-your just like one of the guys to me a real strong mare, heck your more like a stallion and I promise not to let my past predjeducies get between us okay?"
"Sure, partner ah understand perfectly whatcha trying ta say." AJ's hat was now covering her eyes as her trot slowed a bit
"Oh, thats good I'm not exactly good at getting across my point to mares, guess they usally are on the same wavelength as me, like I said one of the guys." he let out a very realived sigh he had been holding. "I was worried you might take it the wrong-" And that's when Dusk Shine found out that Applejack could buck harder than Rainbow Dash without charging up, which he wished he had seen coming.
Dusk nursed his black eye while he and friends walked down a narrow passageway, never saying a word. Sure, everyone saw the farmer kick him in the face, but none of them, not even Rainbow Dash, had the nerve to ask Applejack the reason why.
"And once Pinkie and Rarity were saved, whoosh... Me and Fluttershy loop-de-loop around and WHAM! Caught you right in the nick of time, totally saving your flank the like a dumbo you went and tried to show off when everypony knows thats my job." Bragged Dash breaking the awkward silence with her patented Bragtastic Dashism.
"Yes, Yes, Rainbow, I was there, and I'm very grateful, but we gotta stay on topic here. So, none of you have been in here before?"
"Ugh, Heavens no! Just look at it - it's dreadful and it isn't natural at all. They all say it does not work the same as Equestria." Chimed in Rarity puffing up her mane a bit which had gott a bit flash. "I wish I had brought some hairspray or perhaps a giant hat, yes I have the perfect cameflouge print sunhat at home." "Not what I was asking Rarity."
Dusk rolled his eyes looking to the others. "this is the creepiest place I've ever laid eyes on. But I'm just wondering, what precisely make these woods so unnatural? Why do the animals eat each other here? Why do the clouds move all on their own accord?"
"Nopony knows," Teashed Dash with a spooky and playful tone "You know why? Because anypony that's came in here has… never…. come… OUT!" She grinned wide and evilly at the last part.
"Well thats absurd the high mana concentration, the magical creatures aswell as the weather I must investigate this further once I have the chance."Huffed Dusk unafraid of Rainbow's tale, which caused her to pout a bit.
A black mist followed zooming into a nearby cave and taking the shape of a thorn. While the Ponies walked Dash once again telling her story of how she had single handidly saved Dusk a mighty roar like a lions echoed out. "A Manticore!"Cried Dusk as he was stopped dead in his tracks the monster peeroing at them with one turqoise and one golden eye, the turqoise glowing, energy oozing out of its odd eye as it skulked around them its mouth showing its mighty fangs.
"We've gotta get past him!"Ordered Dusk taking point, oddly Rarity pushed him aside taking a pose.
"Can't let Applejack be the only pony to show her stuff now can I my dear sir Dusk?"Smiled the Fashionista as the Manticore lunged Rarity backstepping and letting loose a powerful Crane kick to the beasts head and knocking him back. The Manticore rose back up cracking its neck and let out a mightier roar blowing Rairy back and flattening her hair all out which caused her to scream twirl around and faint ontop of Dusk pinning him. The beast Manny Roar was about to slash Rarity in half however a heavy weight jumped on his head, it was Applejack riding him rodeo style.
"Yeehaw giddyup der yea little Doggie."She took off her Stetson shaking it in the wind as Manny tried to busk her off repeatedly as it bounced away from Rarity and Dusk. Soon enough AJ was sent flying falling into a bush which tangled her all up. "Aw Poyfeathers I-I can't move!"
The monster was then encircled by Rainbow dash spinning around it at high speeds creating a mini-rainbow tornado and making the beast dizzy. "I got this time for me to do what I do best show off DASH style!" Dash's tactic proved even less effective as the beast roared out loud swiping both its clawed paws and scorpion tail Dash unable to dodge all was sent flying into a tree hitting her head and getting herself all dizzy falling flat on the ground.
All of them were out of comission except for Pinkie and Fluttershy Pinkie frantically running in circles screaming, "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Fluttershy walked infront of Dusk to try and protect him and Rarity the small mare who seemed afraid of her own shadow seemed totally unfazed by any of this.
"I kept telling you all to wait but-but you just wouldn't listen." She looked up at the monster pouncing down on her with her big cute exposed eye, everyone awake screaming in terror at the horrid scene of carnage about to unfold, Dusk screaming out. "FLUTTERSHY RUN, RUN YOU BEAUTIFUL BUT MAD MARE!"
"Shhh... It's okay. Oh, you poor, poor little baby." Cooed Flutterhsy in sweet baby talk. Manny stopping in his tracks totally confused as Fluttershy began to pet him on the head. "Your just a fuzzy little kitty aren't you, aren't you? I think I know what you need, this will hurt for just a second" She reached out for its clawed paw pulling out an evil dark thrown the left eye returning to normal now as she tossed the evil thorn away.
"Aw you're just a cute ol' baby kitty, aren't you? Yes you are, yes you are." Fluttershy had it on its back purring as she rubbed its belly everyone shocked now having not seen this coming.
The Manticore had been licking Fluttershy lovingly as everyone regained themselves, Dusk had finally had the time to get Rarity off of him walked over to Fluttershy rather surprised at her actions."How did you know about the thorn?" "I didn't totally, I just had a hunch and I thought I saw an extra claw while he was fighting, so I took a chance, sometimes we all just need to be shown a little kindness." Shy smiled sweetly to Dusk causing him to become all red in the face once more now more in love with her then ever. The Manticore set Shy down and the party move forward.
Juno looked upon the part from an ancient looking telescope atop the decayed castle of the royal sisters only the throne room having been rebuilt by this point. "I must inform the empress Craig and Manny have failed we must be wary."
