38. The Last Straws

A/N: We are getting close to the ending, two more chapters after this! I don’t want to keep you waiting, on with the chapter!

Twilight and Rainbow Dash were both looking at Kyle’s back now. Twilight had woken up to the sound of sizzling along with RD this time and Rainbow Told her to look at his back. They were watching as 3 more of the scars start to fade. The blue one was almost white now in luminosity and two of the last three were complete black, while the other stayed red.

“What do you make of it Twi?” Rainbow Dash said to the lavender mare.

“I think he is going to be trying for the last three soon. I imagine the black ones to be two of his most horrid personality traits, and the red may be one of the less bad ones. I hope he can do it” Twilight replied to the cyan pegasus. I sure hope he gets rid of the bad ones first; they will probably be the hardest to deal with. Twilight was done with wanting to learn more about him and where he came from, this was the last straw, he probably wouldn’t even accept any more anyways.

“Twi, what happens when he wakes up? What do we do then?” Rainbow Dash asked her.

“When he does wake up, we are going to need to get some more of his life essence, then we are going to use and enchantment on him and it will ease his mind and hopefully repair any damage that the strain has caused. After that, we are going to never ask him to let us see his home or culture again.” Twilight said to RD with a smile at the last comment.

“That is good, I feel like we have been contributing to how he feels right now, he never would have done all of these things if we didn’t ask him to” Rainbow Dash said as she placed a hoof on his shoulder, it was extremely warm. He better hurry, I want him to be better now.

“I know, but he would have done it anyways. If I have learned anything from him being here, it is that he is extremely stubborn, but he does it to make his friends happy. I will never be mad at him for doing it for that reason” Twilight said to her.

“Me either” Rainbow Dash said with a smile.

They sat there for a while and talked. They didn’t know it, but Kyle was extremely close to what could possibly be the most challenging task of his time there…getting Rapture and Acrimony.

*****

I was walking with memory down the street which had Sugar Cube Corner on it. You could say I was taking a trip down memory lane. Ha, I even make myself laugh sometimes with the stupid witty comments! We made it to the front of Sugar Cube Corner and decided to take a little breather, but that was short lived. We could hear two voices from inside the building, both of them easily recognizable.

“It seems that we have made it to our destination. What do you suppose we do now?” Memory said to me.

“Well, I think Acrimony will be looking for a fight, and I will most likely have to be the one to do that. If I give you the chest with a frown, do you think you can manage Rapture?” I said to him in reply. This is going against all my pacifist ways, but damn it, I want to deck Acrimony right in his smug asshole face! Right after I turn to the left and hit him with my dick. Yes ho my gosh, moar DBZ abridged references!

“Yes, I think I can manage Rapture, he will be the easier of the two to handle. I hope you end up putting Acrimony out for a while….if you know what I mean” Memory said to me.

“Oh, so make him unconscious…got it. Well, I think we should go around back to try to surprise them. Let’s go” I said finally to Memory. I sure hope it goes the way I want, because if not, I WILL BE THE ONE TO GET KO’d! FATALITY!

We walked around back and found a door that was unlocked and I opened it as quietly as I could. I practically did a dolphin dive into the room from outside and I landed on a bed, so I didn’t make any noise. Now if only I had my Radio Beacon to spawn the rest of my squad! EEEEE Battlefield 3 reference, my god I am on a roll today! Memory was less than a badass and just crawled in and landed next to me. “Ok, now let’s take this slow.”

I decided to take the bottom floor and Memory took the top floor. I walked over to the door that leads to another room and peered my head around the corner. Empty, figures. Now I feel like Scooby Doo again, and I’m Shaggy without Scooby. Ugh. I walked into the room and heard a voice getting louder. I walked over to another door and looked in. Zoinks! It’s him! Acrimony was standing with his back to me looking out the window. He was in the kitchen and I had a lot of things to work with if I needed it.

*****

Memory was having the same problem I was. He kept walking around quietly, but never once did he see any sign of Rapture anywhere. He walked up to a door that had a book on it and he opened it quietly. He peered in and saw Rapture reading a book on the balcony up above him. This will be it; Master will finally get to have complete control again. Time to finish this. Memory walked over to a bookshelf and grabbed a really large book off of a shelf. He took a quick moment to look at the title, it was ‘The Complete Daring Do Series: Book 1 Through 7’. This should be heavy enough. He walked up the stairs as quietly as he could and Rapture wasn’t paying any attention to him. When he was close enough he raised the book with both of his hands like it was a misshapen baseball bat “Hey Rapture!”

“HUH!?” Rapture said before he dropped the book he was reading and turned his head to get a look at who said that. When his head was turned around Memory swung the book as hard as he could and it connected with Raptures temple.

Rapture fell to the ground in instant unconsciousness and Memory walked over him and picked up the book he was reading. Memory chuckled to himself and dropped the book to the floor again “Rapture, you need to get some better reading material. ‘The art of Love’? Really?”

Memory took out the chest with a frown and held it out at Rapture. He opened it and chains wrapped around him and pulled him into the box without problems. Memory breathed a sigh of relief “Master, it is now up to you. I pray that you will be alright.”

I was looking at Acrimony, he was talking to himself as he looked out the window. I walked over to a counter that surprisingly had a frying pan on it and I picked it up. Oh I am going to have fun with this! Fore! I walked right up behind him and poised myself to strike.

“I can’t wait for that little fucker to try to get in here and get us. We have this place under lock and key, and even if he manages to get in here, he will get the shit kicked out of himself by us!” Acrimony said to himself with a chuckle.

F-f-f-falcon hit with frying pan! I swung the frying pan and hit him square in the back of his head and there was an audible ‘dong’. He turned his head to me and smiled, which made me shit mega blocks. I am so scared right now I could just shed thousands of not so manly tears! “You have got to be kidding me!”

“You should not have done that one you fucking idiot! I am going to kill you for that!” Acrimony said before he ran over to the counter and grabbed a knife out of the drawer. He ran back and poised it out in front of him. “Now you are going to fucking die!”

He started to swing the knife, but I was just fast enough to dodge the swipes. He managed to land a blow on my arm and made a long cut down the length of it. I grabbed my arm and looked at him. He was not playing around. Ouch, this pain by far takes the cake. It hurts worse than getting that spell used on me! I got ahold of myself and went in to try to get some strikes in. I hit him in the back with the frying pan and then punched him in the chest when he bent over. It was mildly effective. Ok, now to kick him while he’s down! I kicked him once in the face and he spit out a mouthful of blood. I was going to put my foot down on his head one last time to finish him, but he managed to get out of the way. He quickly stood up and started to swing again, his eyes filled with rage. He made another cut, only this one was on the right side of my chest. It wasn’t very deep, but I could feel the blood starting to flow out of it.

I am going to knock you out with my frying pan of retribution and you are not going to stop me! I swung the frying pan again and I hit him in the side of the head this time. He recoiled back and I immediately went in again, this time I hit him in the face square on. I could hear his nose break and I felt a wave of satisfaction wash over me. Ha, I didn’t get hit in the snoz for a change! I am so happy I could just die! I think I finally did him in because he fell to his knees and started to cough. He spit on the floor and more blood came out of his mouth and spattered the floor. “Why, why did you want this? You couldn’t just be happy with yourself, you had to try to take it all” I said to him as he coughed.

“Just finish this already! Stop being such a fucking good guy, just lock me away already! Or else I will kill you!” Acrimony said to me with a snarl.

Memory walked into the room then and handed me the chest. “Rapture has been taken care of. You seem to have run into resistance, why is he not unconscious?”

Acrimony got to his feet and ran for me for another go. He swiped once and caught me in the cheek. He swiped again and caught me in the back. I began to dodge again and then I managed to get a little ways away from him.

I ran in and swung the frying pan again and caught him in the arm and the knife flew out of his hand. I then punched him in the cheek and he fell to the ground. I took the chest with a frown out and pointed it at him. I opened it and chains flew out and wrapped around him. The chains then dragged him back into the chest and the lid slammed shut. Then there was a flash of light and the chest disappeared.

“You did it Master! You got all of the bad personality traits! Now you must hurry, send me into the chest so you may finally regain control!” Memory said to me eagerly.

At this point I really didn’t care about anything anymore. I took out the chest with a smile and opened it. The flash of light engulfed the room and when it dissipated, Memory was gone along with the chest. I was all alone in the room, until I heard a voice from behind me.

“You have gotten them all”

“Your mind shall now never fall”

Great, him again! What does he want now, besides to bombard me with riddles again? I turned around and looked at him; I was holding my side with my hand. “W-what do you want me to do now?” I swear to god if you say that I need to go find my body now, I will hit you with a frying pan next!

“All you need to do now to regain control”

“Is touch your unconscious body that has no soul”

Overlord pointed to my body on the ground and I immediately wanted to touch it. Bitch, you and your rhyming can rot in a hole! Screw you guys, I’m going home! I walked over to it and reached my hand out. I touched the body on the arm and a bright flash of light engulfed me. I lost all connection to everything after that.

A/N: It has been done! The next chapter will be part of the resolution part of the arc. I hope you liked this chapter; it was a blast to write! Next chapter will be up in a while!

Next Chapter: 39. Getting Fixed Up Estimated time remaining: 9 Hours, 29 Minutes
