Chapter 20: Well Darn...

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

"I said, why did I just wake up bound and gagged in a closet?" I repeated. Twilight looked at me like I was joking.

"Ha ha, very funny." Twilight laughed. "Now, back to the missing clothes..." She said in the wierd whisper. I blushed deeper and grabbed the little horse head statue from her table to cover myself.

"Twilight don't tease me about my missing clothes!" I tried to scold her, but I was to embarrased to put any force into it. "You need to focus on my question!"

"Quit playing around Sharky! You and I both know you came back here like this for a reason..." Her aura wrapped around the horse head and started tugging on it gently.

"Twilight what's wrong with you?!" I shouted. Why the hell was she acting so... odd? Twilight looked suprised at my outburst.

"W-what do you mean? Don't you like me?" She asked with tears forming in her eyes.

"Of course! You're one of my best friends in this place!" Her ears dropped back and her eyes filled with water.

"F-f-friend?" She stuttered out. I frowned.

"Twilight, what's wrong? All I did was mess up a mirror spell and wake up in a closet, and now you're acting all... wierd." I was worried. Maybe I was in some different version of Equestria or something. It didn't seem too outlandish a thought. Twilight's ears popped back up and her eyes cleared themselves of most water.

"Y-y-you messed up a m-mirror spell?" She stuttered out. "Oh no no no no no no no!" Her eyes begn to widen and her pupils shrank. "Sharky, are you sure you're not messing with me?"

"YES! Why would I joke about this?!" Twilight flinched.

"This is bad!! Very very bad!" Twilight started pacing around the table, so I had to turn slightly to make sure the horse head was angled towards her. "Sharky do you have any idea what you've done?!"

"Yes, I know exactaly what I've done, which is why I'm wasting my time asking questions when I could be fixing my mistake." I wasn't exactaly in my best mood right now, so I was laying the sarcasm on thick. Twilight gave me an irritated look.

"Well no need to be snippy about it! Anyway, what I think you've done is release a mirror monster!" Twilight said, fear in her voice. I gave her a confused look.

"What's a mirror monster?"

"The mirror spell summons your look-alike from the mirror realm, the mirror realm is basically the exact opposite of our world." She started explaining. "If you bring a mirror monster into the real world, they will try to replace the real you! Some manage to pull it off, they come in with all their counterpart's memories, likes and dislikes, and abilities, so it's not that unthinkable. They do however tend to act vastly different and not follow the same moral code, so they are often caught."

"Oh, so all we gotta do is find mirror me and send him back?" Twilight flinched.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple... You see once released, a mirror monster can never return to the mirror world. We are going to have to... kill mirror you..." I snorted.

"Is that it? Well then let's go find him!" Twilight almost fell over in suprise.

"You're ok with killing yourself?!" I laughed.

"He's not me, and I promised myself I'd get whoever hurt Fang." I looked at Twilight. "That was mirror me right?"

"Mirror you DID hurt Fang, but how did you know that?" She asked.

"I just figured nopony could do... You know what? It'll make more sense if I show you." I turned and held the horse head behind me. I beckoned to Twilight and climbed up the tree to the little closet. "Brace yourself, he... doesn't look fantastic right now..." I pushed open the door and picked up Fang with a free hand. I held him out to Twilight and she gasped. In the light I could see his wounds more clearly. His right eye was swelling and one of his right front leg looked out of place. His chest looked deflated and broken, and he was hardly breathing now. Seeing my pet like this made me angry. "Have a problem killing him? Heh, he's gonna freakin' PAY for this!!!" I seethed. Twilight flinched back. "Oh, sorry Twilight, I didn't mean to scare you... wait! Evil me didn't do anything to you did he?!" I asked in a panic. I can't belive I hadn't asked yet. Twilight began to look nervous.

"Ah... he didn't do anything bad to me at ALL..." Twilight said nervously. I nodded my head.

"Good. Now, what are we gonna do to help Fang?" I turned my head back to his limp form. It broke my heart to see him like this. Twilight looked down sadly.

"I-I'm afraid... I don't have any spell for injuries like this... If he were a bigger wolf I could problably do something..."

"Bigger.... damn... Fang you can't die on me... WAIT!!!" I thought back to the episode where Twilight not only hatched Spike, but made him an adult temporarily as well. "Twilight, do you know any spells to make Fang an adult?" She widened her eyes in realization.

"Well, I do know one... but..."

"BUT WHAT?! YOU CAN SAVE HIS LIFE AND THERE'S A 'BUT'?!" I yelled. Twilight didn't flinch away this time.

"Yes, two buts. One, it's a permenant spell, he will lose all his puppy years. Two, it takes a lot of energy and I won't be able to kill evil you if I do this..." I laughed.

"His puppy years won't matter much if he's dead, and Evil Sharky is my fault, I wouldn't have let you get rid of him for me anyway!" Twilight smiled up at me.

"Eeyup, you're the real Sharky alright..." Never letting anypony help. If he had magic right now he wouldn't even ask me to fix Fang! He'd just try to do it himself. She thought to herself. She sighed and concentrated on the spell. Her horn glowed bright purple, and Fang slowly began to grow. His eye seemed to fix itself and his ribs realigned themselves, repaired, and enlarged. His right foreleg popped back into place and he started twisting like he was having a bad dream. Fang began to get heavy as his size increased. He had a lot more muscle than a pony, so he was much heavier. I had to drop the horse head and cradle Fang with both arms as his body became to large for one arm. Twilight finished the spell and dropped to the ground gasping.

"TWILIGHT!?" I stooped down next to her, still holding Fang. "ARE YOU OK?!" Twilight looked up at me wearily and nodded. "Damn it! You didn't tell me the spell would take that much!" I scolded her. She shrugged off my comment and stood up on her shaking legs. I put Fang down on the ground. He was starting to wake up anyway.

"I-it's not that bad..." She tried to take a step and stumbled. I reached out and caught her before she hit the ground.

"You're a bad liar..." I sighed. "You two, stay here, I'm going... to Rarity's to get some cloth to cover myself, I'm NOT gonna spend 4 hours to get real clothes..." I grumbled, remembering the forever-long measuring sessions. "Then I'm finding anti-me and making him pay for hurting my Fang!" I growled. Twilight looked up at me.

"I-I'm helping y-you." She stuttered. I laughed.

"Like hell you are! You're staying right here!" I commanded her. She started laughing at me.

"Y-you act like you have a choice here!" She giggled. Before I could say anything else, she disappeared in a flash of light.

"WAIT NO!.... Well darn..." I said to myself. Fang had woken up and was nuzzling my arm. "Hey buddy..." I reached out and scratched his head. "I've gotta go ok?" He looked at me and stood up determinedly. I groaned. "Oh not you too!" He gave me his wolf grin and wagged his tail. I sighed. "Ok, fine. I want you to run if there's any danger ok?" He shook his head no. "You know what, fine buck it!" I said with exasperation. "You wanna come then come, but don't say I didn't warn you!" He gave a few short yips that sounded remarkably close to a laugh. I stood up and left the library, running full-tilt towards Rarity's, hoping nopony saw me naked. My wolf was trying to keep pace, but he was unused to the new extent of his limbs and he kept tripping.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Ooooh~ Sharky..." Rarity sighed as Sharky massaged her stomach. He was grinning widely, and Rarity was very much so enjoying herself. Then a bright flash of purple light came from the other side of the room. Rarity looked over and saw an unsteady Twilight looking at her with a mixture of fear and anger. "T-twilight!" Rarity scrambled to her hooves and stood up, blushing bright red. "It's very rude to come in unannounced!" She scolded her.

"R-rarity... g-get away from him..." Twilight said weakly. Rarity smirked, not noticing how drained Twilight looked.

"Jealous are we? Well don't worry yourself, I'll take good care of Sharky for you..." Twilight shook her head.

"N-not... S-sharky..." Twilight collapsed on the floor and a horrified look crossed Rarity's face.

"N-not Sharky? T-then who?" Rarity looked at Sharky and started to slowly back away.

"Of course I'm Sharky!" The clone protested. "Who else do you know that looks like this?" He gestured to himself. Rarity continued to back away.

"Nopony looks quite like you, but if there's one thing I've learned it's to trust my friends!" She said defiantly. Sharky sighed.

"That is... unfortunate..." He frowned. He stood up and started striding towards her.

"W-what are you doing? Get away from me you--"

*THWACK* Rarity fell to the ground, out cold.

"Why do these ponies keep coming in to ruin my fun?" Dark Sharky hissed to himself. Then he gave another evil grin. "Although on the bright side... I now have two unconcious ponies and a lockable door..." He laughed wickedly and closed the door....


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"C'mon Fang, if you're coming with me ya gotta keep up!" I had paused to wait for him. We were more than halfway there, but Fang was way behind. I kept looking around to make sure nopony saw me, but I forgot to look up.

"YOU!!!" Said a very angry cyan pegasus as she crashed into my head. I fell to the ground dazed.

"Ow! Good shot!" I laughed. She flew up again and thumped herself down on my chest. Hard. "Ow!"

"Don't you laugh at me!!" Rainbow Dash said angrily. I frowned.

"What's wrong Dash?" I asked. She growled at me and hit me with a right cross to the cheek. "OW!"

"Don't you play dumb with me you big jerk!" She yelled angrily. "I'm here to teach you a lesson!" She started hitting my face with rapid blows from her forehooves. It hurt, but I was a lot bigger and stronger than her, so it wasn't too bad. I grabbed her forehooves in my hands.

"Big jerk? What did I do?" She hissed with anger at not being able to hit me, and started stomping on my chest with her back legs.

"You know what you did! You called me lame and told me the wonderbolts would never notice me!" She was crying as she struck me now, but I was seething with rage.

"I did WHAT!?!?" I screamed. Rainbow stopped hitting me and gave me a confused look. "THAT TEARS IT!! I AM SO FUCKING DEAD!!!" I yelled, totally enraged.

"What?" Rainbow Dash was really confused now. I looked down at her and growled angrily.

"NO TIME TO EXPLAIN. COME WITH ME!!!" I scooped her up in my arms and ran towards Rarity's boutique, wishing clothes weren't necessary before I confronted my double.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Uh oh, looks like the fit's about to hit the shan!
