Chapter 5 - Love and hate.

I'm…I'm flying. No…I can't fly…But I still am.

And…there's a Pony flying with me…Applejack.

We're flying above…Equestria; yes this is the way to Sweet Apple Acres.

The weight of the world seems negated to me. I feel…Great.

But what is this? In front of the shed is…A pony. It's a guy with long black hair, even longer than mine. His skin is very dark, gray but almost blackish.

He looks very upset, yet familiar. We're landing in front of the shed, him having a very mad face.

I…Can't speak, my thoughts are…Like a never ending mist out of silence and nothing else. I can't grasp the true form of anything now…He charges at me, he…Charges at me. Oh gosh who –

"Honey sapple? Are you all right?"

I got awakened by Applebloom. So…Damn, what was this, a dream of some random kind or what?

"I…Think yes. I just dreamt something very…Stupid I guess." I answer, while getting the countenance of Applebloom as an answer; she is just looking very confused. "Okay…Eh…I think it is."

I stand up, stretching myself a little while at it, and then asking her: "So…What's planned today?"

Again, I got a confused facial expression and a direct answer: "Didn't anyone tell you? We don't have to do anything this week, until the apples are ripe already that is."

Awesome, free time!

"No, no one told me, but its fine! Is Applejack awake already?"

I speak to Applebloom, while grinning with delight.

"Eh…No she is sleeping. I'll wake her after I go to the toilet"

She answers to me, while looking a little under pressure. "Don't worry, I'll wake her up. Just go, before you explode hehe."

"Thanks!" She yells.

I open the door, letting Applebloom out first and then me going after.

As we leave the room, we separate since she runs to the bathroom.

My target: Wake Applejack up. So I go upstairs to her room, and open it silently. She lies there in her wooden bed, without her hat on. The windows let in some light already, but that doesn't wake her.

I move over to her, smiling as I see her. I lean over her bed, kiss her on the forehead and whisper: "Good morning, Applejack. Get up please." She doesn't open her eyes, but smiles gently. So I kiss her on the cheek and tell her: "Come on, sweetheart. The sun is rising already, it's a beautiful day, and we don't have to work today."

She just moves around a little, seemingly getting into a more comfortable position to sleep and smiles on.

Since kissing won't help, maybe something else does. I push her a little to the side, and lie down as well, while hugging her and petting her mane.

"Don't you want to wake up today?" I ask while holding her.

"Well, we could just stay here. I'd be fine with that" Applejack finally talks to me, while leaning her head against my shoulder.

"Oh Applejack, we can't just lie here all day, hugging each other." I tell her, while hugging her a little less, moving my head away from her shoulder to look into her eyes.

"I wouldn't mind to, actually this seems like a plan to me" She whispers at me while looking at me.

"Applebloom could come up, looking after how long I take to wake you up." I say in a calm way.

She just puts her head at my chest, once more getting into a more comfortable position and ignoring what I said. I give up, I don't want to be anywhere else than here as well at the moment. We lie here for like 10 minutes, just hugging each other as she breaks the silence by a soft whisper:

"I guess, we should stand up now."

Well, took her long enough. I was all in for standing up all the time through.

"Yeah, we should." I reply softly, looking yet again into her stunningly beautiful eyes.

I pet her mane, as I stand up, and point into the direction of the door.

She nods, and stands up as well, while saying:

"Good morning to you too, Honey." She puts on her hat and we both move downstairs, when I remember: No pony knows about me and Applejack. So should I tell them? I'm not sure.

As soon as we get to the kitchen, we meet the rest of the apple family; Big Mac, Granny Smith and Applebloom, all of them are greeting us nicely.

"Howdy, guys. Sorry that I took so long, I had a hard time waking up today.

Actually, I just couldn't move because I and Honey sap were lying there too comfortably."

She tells them? Ok…I guess.

"I hope to get wakened up like that every morning from now on, Honey." She says, as she reaches over to kiss me on the cheek.

Oh boy, Applejack really doesn't care about anyone's opinion. Another reason for me to love her even more than I already do.

"I think we can arrange that." I reply with a blushing grin on my face.

Everyone reacted in their own way; Applebloom was actually smiling and gushed.

Big Mac reacted in a similar way, but left out the gushing.

Granny Smith just said: "Well, well, well. I guess Sweet Apple Acres now has a permanent new member." And grins a little.

"Thanks, all of you. Do you have anything planned for today, Applejack?"

I asked her, curious as I am.

"You better bet that I do. I planned us having a great time together. Detailed enough, isn't it?" She winks to me, as she says that.

She then points me over to the way out, we bid everyone goodbye and get going.

The day is just awesome: At first we play horseshoes, which isn't easy, but very fun. Applejack winded up winning every game, but I don't mind.

Then, we went into the forest on the mountain, where Applejack showed me an awesome landscape; Just right behind it is a cliff, which lets you watch all over Ponyville. You could see everything; from the cake shop, to Sweet Apple Acres over to Fluttershy's place

Finally, we went to the hill on which we had our picnics. We just lied there, looked at the clouds, while holding each other. Some of them looked like bunnies, some looked like sheep. One even looked like Applejack.

As we are lying here, it's gotten afternoon. The sun is still as bright as before, a light breeze makes the day not hot, but very nice.

The breeze makes the leaves shake a little, which results in a soothing sound that reminds of the sea.

I feel like nothing can break this awesome silence, and I actually never had to encounter something that disrupts awesome moments for me. This here is the exception, since it seems there's trouble down in Ponyville.

"Hey, Applejack, something seems to be wrong there. We should look, if we can help."

I tell her as she looks as well, with a scared face.

"You're right Honey. Let's go."

We ran to the town as fast as we could, as a lightning strike almost hits Applejack. It luckily misses her, even though only by a few inches.

"WHERE IS HE?!" A dark voice screams while a storm rises behind it. The speech comes from a gray unicorn with a long, black mane, longer than mine. It looks masculine, and pretty strong, as it casts spells onto Ponyville and screams on:

"WHERE IS THAT MORON? TELL ME!"

"What the hell is going on with that guy?" I yell since the storm is very loud.

"I don't know either!" Another voice scream, Rainbow Dash. Behind her are Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, and Fluttershy.

Suddenly, the strange unicorn looks at me, grinning insanely.

"Now, finally I've found you, bastard." He floated down to me, looking at me with his crazy face and started speaking to me:

"So, having a nice time I guess?"

"Those spells…Discord used the same as we fought him." Twilight mentioned.

"Discord eh? So you're his disciple?" I answer in anger.

"Well, yes. He picked me up when I fell from the sky before some weeks. He told me everything about you sick abominations, but don't worry. I'll wipe you out, starting with you." He points at me…What sick Pony is this? And he fell from the sky…? Like I did?

"So…Why would you choose me first, any special reason? Not that it will change my opinion, I'll kick your ass anyway for destroying Ponyville. Who are you anyway?"

"Hahaha…Hahaha..HAHAHAHAHA."

"What's so funny?"

"You want to fight me? Yeah try it. I'll totally lose to a superior being like you. But for your information, I am the disciple of chaos itself, Jest!

Anything you can do is close your eyes so you don't see it coming!"

Just as he says that, he charges up some kind of magic on his horn and fires it. Twilight reacted and teleported us a few meters to the side, leaving a trail of destruction behind the black and white beam.

"Oh, you can dodge. Now that almost makes it interesting. I'll tell you why you first: Anything you do will stop the world from the perfect chaos. Even though my master is not alive and is banished, I will spread this for him.

But to make things fair, let's become our true forms again, shall we?

"What in tarnation are you talking about? Applejack shouts at him.

As she yells that, he points his horn against me, and hits me with some kind of magic.

My hooves turn into hands and feet, my mane into hair and my body feels...Not that unusual. I transform into a human, but yet something much more powerful. He transformed as well, and got a long, black mantle, accompanied by chains that lead from one shoulder to another.

"Remember how to fight? You better do and defend yourself, wimp!" He screams, as he throws a sword to me, which I capture with my right hand with ease.

"I don't really get the point of all of this, neither do I know what the heck I or you are, but fine, if you want it like that, you can have it." I tell him with an angry face.

"Then we shall begin!" He yells with a mad grin, as he opens his hands. "I summon you from the depth of my soul, growl for me, Arturo Durazo!" A crazily oversized scent, as big as himself, appears in his hands out of a blue beam of light.

He rushes onward to me, as I do the same in his direction. I jump, and try to hit him from above, but he parries easily. I attack from all sides repeatedly, faster than a normal eye could follow, but yet he parried every strike.

"I have no idea what is going on, but he needs our help, so get ready everypony!" Twilight said to the mane6 as she gave anyone their element of harmony.

The fight keeps up, but he is far superior to me. He strikes as fast as I do, but gets a few hits on me as my technique isn't very good.

"Hahaha, can't keep up with the chaos, now can you? Just dance some more, wimp!" He yells at me, as he strikes ferociously and with amazing speed.

I get a lot of wounds at my arms, my chest and my face, but I keep on fighting.

"Why do you even do all this nonsense, if you can just smite me with magic?" I ask him, while trying to defend myself

"Well, it wouldn't be fun, killing you so fast, so you'll suffer for my amusement! Also, you've always been better than me, but now that I posses a huge power, you will be the one to lose!!!" He yells at me, with a crazy face.

He tries to hit me from above with a heavy but slow strike, as I use the opportunity to attack him. He dodges, but gets hit and his chest has a huge scratch on it.

Yet again, he attacks slowly but with a lot of force. I dodge the attack, and can get another strike onto his already hit body. A huge cut from his left shoulder down to his belly.

"So...You really want to play like that? Very well, my friend Ahahaha!"

He stops attacking, as he floats back and upwards, as he holds the scent into the air and yells with a serious face: "Arturo Durazo, I call upon your powers, annihilate my foe!" The storm that is already in town, gets even darker and gustier, and lightning strikes everywhere, as suddenly, he channels one of them into his scent and it begins to absorb it.

"Chaos Bolt!" A huge Ball of very dark electricity flies onward me, but barely misses me due to my jump into the air. This transformation must've given me and him special powers, that we could only dream off as Ponies or unicorns, since I leap as high as he floats, almost 30 feet high.

So that's how it is right?

"CHAOS BOLT!" Yet another huge sphere of electricity flies onward to me, yet again I dodge with a jump. I land on the ground, as he already casts the next one and is ready to fire at wil.

"Any last words?"

"Actually yes. You're overconfident!" I yell at him, coughing in exhaustion as I jump up to him and punch him in the stomach with all of my power and Twilight leads the power of harmony onto him.

He can't move out of it, stunned by the power of my punch, and gets hit by the rainbow power of Friendship.

Everything seems to settle, as he lies there unconscious. Great! I did it...Ugh.

I fall down and the only thing I recall to know, is waking up in a hospital yet again. Next Chapter: Time Estimated time remaining: 35 Minutes
