Chapter 25: Escape from Shadows

Somewhere in an unknown enemy base…

Logan Townson was dangling from a very high ceiling from his hind legs and there were ropes bounding him so he couldn’t move his front hooves or his wings to help him at all, the place was dark but somehow something had prohibited his magic when he tried using Magic to light up the place, only torches on the wall had any light but Logan had no idea how far down it was but one thing was sure, it was a long way down!

One other thing was clear and it was that Fluttershy was nowhere near him at all, she was captured along with Logan but he deduced she must have been put in another area completely but Logan must find her and get out of here and find the key too!

Before Logan could think about escaping something pulled him up and released him of his bonds and suddenly he felt so free and in so much pain.

“Logan, are you ok?” said a voice belonging to Navi

“Navi? Where the fuck were you the whole time?” asked Logan

“Well I went out to breathe and when I went into town you and Fluttershy were gone but thankfully the Emerald of Harmony sends signals to me when I’m apart from it” explained Navi

“We could of found it easier in that mirror place…” muttered Logan

“No can do, Magic is very limited there almost non-existent, making it impossible to sense a precise location” said Navi

“You seen Shy anywhere?” asked Logan

“No” answered Navi

“Then let’s go find he-OW!” said Logan walking in pain

“Hang on I’ll fix that” said Navi

Navi made her horn glow and Logan’s painful wounds healed so no pain came but they were still there but for now it was satisfactory enough to move on.

“Thanks” said Logan

“You’re welcome, it’s lucky the Emerald is inside you or else I might not have found you” said Navi

“Well yeah…let’s go find Fluttershy and kick some ass!” said Logan

A Scream rang through the place that sounded like Fluttershy, and Logan was starting to have his fur turned darker from it as rage was filling from the voices.

“Those Son of a bitches! They better not be hurting Shy or else I will rip them apart painfully!” said Logan getting angry

“WHERE ARE THE OTHERS?! THE OTHER FIVE PONIES TELL ME NOW OR ELSE I WILL STAB YOU!!”

“GRRR…THOSE…LITTLE…BASTARDS!” said Logan getting more angry as he made it to the room where Fluttershy is

“Don’t do it Logan!” warned Navi

Logan’s fur had turned jet black and as he lunged his pupils completely disappeared in rage as he went in the room where Fluttershy was chained and started going on a spree on every enemy he could reach!

“YOU ARE ALL DEAD!” Shouted Logan as he started killing Shadow enemies

“YOU WILL PAY FOR HURTING FLUUTERSHY YOU BASTARDS! RAAAAARRRRGGH!” Screamed Logan as he ripped through more enemies

As Logan went full slaughterhouse on those unlucky enough in his path, Navi freed Fluttershy who had a few bruises to the face and a bit of blood on her face but otherwise ok, they made their escape to ground under cover of Logan’s rampage.

Somewhere in the middle of a Desert...

Rarity and Pinkie Pie were both tongue out of their mouths in thirst as they wandered for the key that should have been nearby according to the map.

“Urgh…this is ridiculous! The map says it’s somewhere around here!” whined Rarity

“Maybe there’s like a super-duper secret! Like that super-duper suspicious red button in the middle of the desert over there?” said Pinkie pointing to such an object

About 50 meters away was a Red Button, and it was quite suspiciously near where the key was meant to be as Pinkie and Rarity galloped over and pushed the button not believing their luck.

About 10 seconds later, a huge Temple entrance rose up from the sands and without hesitation the pair went in thankful for the Shade.

“Thank Celestia! Some shade at last!” said Rarity in a praising position

“and we got this temple thingy rising up from the sands it was so cool! Can we see it again?” said Pinkie excitedly

“Preferably not, I doubt Logan will appreciate us diddle-dallying for too long and he such a short temper sometimes” said Rarity

The pair proceeded to enter the temple not knowing a danger was lying ahead…ok maaaybe they did a little bit…

Somewhere outside Fillydelphia…

Both Navi and Fluttershy were out of the Shadow base when it exploded following by a now calmed-down Logan landing next to them as Logan went straight to Fluttershy.

“Shy you ok?” asked Logan hugging her

“Y-yes” replied Fluttershy

“Logan…what in the name of Celestia’s sun happened back there?” asked Navi

“Ok I got angry…but they were hurting Shy and that’s something that I will never allow!” shot back Logan

“You got angry f-for m-me?” asked Fluttershy

“Yep...well I guess the game has gone on long enough Shy, you see I-I kinda have always had a crush on you ok?” said Logan preparing to shut his eyes if Fluttershy got mad or something

“Y-you did?” asked Fluttershy

“Ever since that first conversation in Ponyville” confirmed Logan

“Oh Logan! I had one too but I was just too Shy…I was afraid my love wasn’t going to be returned then you’d hate me and-“ said Fluttershy worrying her mind out with the same fear Logan had

“Well I do, I too have been trying to say my feelings but it's gone on long enough so while we are here and alive. Fluttershy, will you be my Marefriend?” asked Logan

“Of course I will!” exclaimed Fluttershy jumping the air

“Adorable level: OVER 9000!!!!”

“YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESNOYESYESYESYES!”

Throne room of the Crystal Empire…

Princess Cadence sensed a couple has just been made that was important and she missed seeing it which burned her up as she loved seeing couples form!

“I can’t believe I missed an important bonding!” said Cadence

“What’s wrong Caddy?” asked Shining

“That Stallion Logan and Fluttershy are now a couple! And I MISSED IT!” said Cadence hitting her hoofs on the ground

“There, there, We’ll make up for lost love tonight right honey?” comforted Shining

“Of course! You better prepare yourself” flirted Cadence

Love has been made but the happiness will not last long as battles still need to be won! And there are plenty left...
