Author's Notes:

Telepathy? Yeah... I had a wild thing in my head back then. Don't know if I was joking or I was serious.

Chapter XII: Dark Blood

"OH COME ON! CAN YOU AT LEAST LEAVE ME ALONE FOR ONE SINGLE MIN—I mean… Yes?" I said in a different tone of voice.

"Now, dear… Open the door, I know you're there." She said through the door. I am almost going to panic and lose my shit; I looked everywhere for an evading plan. Aha! I devised a plan to escape her. I slowly reached for the doorknob and opened it fast and at the blink of an eye, I used my ring to become invisible.

"Oh, RYAN! Come out, come out where ever you are!" She said while trotting like a slut.

"Are you sure that he is here, sister? It looks like no one is home." Red said to Dark.

"This is my time…" I thought to myself, I slowly walked out the door… Trying to be sneaky and to not screw Dark…

"Ryan! Where are you?!" Dark shouted even more. She looked everywhere, the kitchen, the living room, upstairs, the bedroom and etc.

I was nearing the door, OH SWEET FREEDOM! But suddenly, Dark used her magic on me, JUST AS I WAS TRYING TO RUN THE HELL OUT OF HERE!

"AH! LET ME GO, DARK! HOW DID YOU FIND ME?!" I said, struggling by her magic wrapped around me.

"Awww! Ryan, I really missed you! I can sense your energy and I can track you if you are near." She said holding me near to her and hugging me.

"You've been gone for an hour and you missed me that much?" I said to her with annoyance.

"I miss the times where you get upset and really mad at me." She said to me with a seductive look on her face.

"IT'S BECAUSE YOU KEPT ASKING ME A THOUSAND OF TIMES TO MATE WITH YOU! MOTHER FUCKING SHIT! FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME, I DON'T WANT TO! NOW, LET ME GO!" I said with anger. It's funny, y'know? I sounded like Michael Jones from Achievement Hunter.

"Hihihihi! Sister, he looks so CUTE when he gets angry!" Red said to her sister, I looked at her, giving her the cold and deadly stare and pointed at her.

"AND YOU…" I said with anger still in my voice. She looked at me scared and shivering,

"Well, I should really thank you for cutting me off with Dark. If it wasn't for you, I could've been turned into a Reaper. So, thank you so much for that!" I said to her in a normal tone, her fear was gone and she stepped forward.

"Uhhh… You're welcome." She said to me with a nervous smile. Dark looked at her, jealous for giving her kindness rather than Dark.

"Come on now, Ryan. Let's mate!" She said to me with her tongue outside and drooling.

"My God… Your lust is more worse than 10 horny women! Holy JESUS!" I said to her, she giggled. She trotted towards me with THE LOOK on her face.

"Oh…Ryan…" She rubbed her marehood while licking her lips and looking at me. She released me from her spell and cleaned myself.

"Now, now Dark… I don't want to turn into a freaking Reaper. Besides, you'll find someone else right?" I said with a nervous tone in my voice, she smiled at me.

"Oh, my dear Ryan. You'll enjoy being a reaper, really… And besides, I already chose you as my host and lover." She said to me with an evil giggle… I knew that I was already hopeless, I have to escape her. Sometimes, I ask myself how… But this time, I didn't.

So, I ran upstairs at the speed of light. I ran into halls until I hid in a dark room.

"What the hell?" I whispered to myself. I tried to find the light switch but I can't seem to find them. So, I used my ring as a light source in order to see what's inside the room. But when I did, I saw the room has gothic materials, walls were black, and her bed has black covers, dressers and stuff. The room is lacking windows and light; I saw candles on the either side of her bed, standing on the nightstands. I snapped my finger and surprisingly, it produced a flame. I lit up the two candles but it was still dark so I left my ring's light on.

"Ohhh Ryan! I'm coming!" Dark said outside the door.

"Shit!" I cursed. I looked around trying to find a perfect hiding spot, but I had no choice but to hide under the bed. Dark entered the room trying to look for me,

"Ryan, show yourself! There's no point in hiding anymore!" She said, trying to catch my attention. Suddenly, angry thoughts came into my mind

I DON'T WANT ANYMORE!

I'M SICK OF DARK TRYING TO MATE WITH ME!

I HATE HER!

I… I'LL…

"…KILL HER!" I shouted. Just as she looked under the bed, she didn't find me. But when she stood up, she saw me on top of her bed with red aura developing me. Due to the anger and rage, my heart was rendered useless and tried to expel my blood in a violent manner like vomiting.

"dArK! i'M cOmInG fOr YoU!" I said to her in distorted voice.

"It's that strange magic again…" She said to herself. I used my ring to hold her and launched towards her, strangling her while being held by the light of my ring.

"HAHAHAHA! DIE!" I laughed like a maniac, she used her horn to push me back but it was no use. I vomited blood on her face, gaining the upper hand. I lifted my right arm and balling my fist, punching her hard on the face.

"Ow! Wow, Ryan. That actually hurts. Hihihihi!" She giggled, she used her magic to levitate me and yet surprisingly, her magic was more powerful than my ring.

"DARK! RELEASE ME AND FIGHT ME! FIGHT ME LIKE A—"Suddenly, all I saw was blackness.

I woke up again in the same white room where Max usually talks to me, and then he walked in again.

"Max! What is it now?" I asked him, he walked a few steps towards me and said:

"Wow, Ryan. You overused the Red Lantern's power." He said to me,

"Wait, how did I overuse it?" I asked him another question. He then used his abilities to show me what happened.

"Your hatred towards Dark is more powerful than I thought it would be. And you still haven't unlocked the ring's full potential yet. Once a user overuses one of the power of the lanterns, his or her ring will run out of power and cannot be used for a limited time." He explained to me.

"Ohhh… but I really hate Dark so much that I couldn't control it!" I said to Max.

"Look, Ryan. You have to go with the flow, or else you'll give away everything and risk Fluttershy's life." As soon as I heard that, I gritted my teeth in anger.

"Fine…" I said. Come to think of it, Dark isn't doing this because she wanted to; it's because she has to. And she isn't that bad when you get to know her.

"Good. I'll just continue the time." He said to me

"Wait, you stopped time?" I asked, my eyes widening.

"Yes. After I resume time, revert back to normal and go with the flow, just as I said."

"Okay." Then the room began vanishing.

"—MAN!" I shouted, then after reverting back to my senses, I returned to normal.

"My, my… Have you calmed down yet, my lover?" She asked me, still holding me using her magic.

"Yeah… yeah, I'm fine…" I said to her, she looked at my ring and giving a suspicious look.

"Ryan, that ring of yours is causing too much trouble for us. It's got to go; besides, you already have powers." She said to me, she used her magic to remove my ring but to no avail.

"What? Your ring cannot be removed! It's stuck!" She said to me with shock in her voice. I smiled at her.

"It's no use, Dark. It's already attached to me and it cannot be removed forever." I said, she licked her face with my blood on it, and then gave me a lustful look.

"Hmmm… I like your taste, Ryan. It makes me feel hot." She said to me. Well, I gave up hope and tried to go with it. I leaned in closer and kissed her, and somehow… Her kiss was actually good than before. More passionate and good than when she kissed me back at Canterlot.

"Looks like my lover is getting attached to me…" She said to her, licking her lips.

"Well… I gave up hope already so… Let's do it." We stood up and Dark went to her bed. I removed my clothes leaving my boxers and went to bed with Dark, continuing to kiss her.

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask you. What's wrong with stallions? Why don't you like to mate with them?" I asked her, she looked into my eyes as she explained.

"I find stallions colts very, very boring and pathetic. I've always wanted my lover and host to be unique and special…" She said to me,

"Well… that explains it. In our world, it is totally illegal to have sex with animals. We only do that to each other. That's the law and we should follow it."

"Aww… Well it's too late for that now, Ryan." She said to me, leaning closer and closer.

"Well, I guess it is…" I sighed; I leaned in closer and kissed her… The kiss felt better than before.

"I feel… hot. It's like… I really want to mate with you now, Dark." I said to her, she smirked when suddenly; I came back to my senses.

"OH NO… DID I JUST SAY THAT I REALLY WANT TO MATE WITH YOU, DARK?" I asked, shocked. She smirked again and nodded.

"OH COME ON! YOU HAVE FAILED ME AGAIN, BRAIN!" I dramatically shouted, holding my head. Dark looked at me and giggled.

"Well, come on now. Ryan, let's continue!" she said to me, I looked back and continued kissing her, but before that, I said

"But we will only do foreplay. Any kind of penetration, I will not allow. Understood?" she nodded to me. And then we continued making out. She slid down the covers and slowly removed my boxers, revealing my shaft. She used her hooves to rub my dick and it felt uncomfortable for me.

"Dark, stop using your hooves. It hurts and uncomfortable." I said to her, she smiled and giggled. Instead of using her hooves, she used her mouth. (Insert Dramatic Sound here) Her tongue was merely inches away from my dick until we saw Green bust through the door.

"Get away from him, daughter!" He yelled at Dark, Dark looked at him.

"No father! I'm not a little filly that you used to treat anymore! My magic is more stronger than you!" Dark said to her father. Green made a smirk and said

"Don't underestimate me, daughter. A while ago, I learned something new." Green said to her. Then suddenly, a strange colored aura begins surrounding his horn and shot out a blast at Dark, unfortunately, she dodged it.

I tried to do something just to escape this family fight. Just as Green was about to shoot at Dark again, I lounged myself towards my clothes and used my ring to quickly put them on. I then jumped back to the living room. I sat on the couch while hearing like chaos upstairs. I saw Red walk out the kitchen, she looked at me and said.

"Ryan? What're you doing here? Aren't you supposed to—"I cut her off, pointing upstairs, meaning that Green and Dark are having family problems.

"Ohhh… Well, I have to go back to the kitchen." She said to me, I nodded to her and she trotted back to the kitchen. I wonder how Green is doing…

Meanwhile…

"Stop this now, daughter! It doesn't have to be this way!" Green said to her daughter. Dark shot an electric bolt to Green but he dodged it.

"No! YOU STOP! If you're looking for a fight, then bring it!" She said to him.

Several minutes later...

"ENOUGH, DARK!" I heard Green say. I stood up and went upstairs to check on him.

"Hey, guys. You fighting for 10 minutes now, come—WHOA!" I closed my eyes, and as I opened them… I saw that I was able to hold the blast that Dark was about to shoot at Green.

"How are you… able to do that?" Dark asked me.

"I… don't know…" I said. After a few seconds, the energy ball disappeared. I saw Green trapped Dark in a black, transparent shield.

"THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!" Dark shouted. Green then charged his horn and trotted towards Dark.

"I'm sorry to do this, daughter. But I have to." He then placed his horn on Dark's head and a bright flash appeared. I rubbed my eyes to see Dark laying on the ground.

"What did you do to her, Green?" I asked, she trotted towards her and carried her.

"I casted a memory spell on her. She will not remember anything that had happened and who you are. But her personality will be that of when she was a filly." He explained to me. I sighed and rubbed my face.

"Whew! Thanks, man. I owe you one." I said to him,

"No need, Ryan." He said to me smiling. We looked at Dark to see that she was slowly waking up. She looked at us; she gave a happy face to Green while a confused look at me. She hugged Green saying

"Father? What is that creature doing at our house?" She said, hugging Green.

"I'll explain it later, daughter. Now go downstairs, your mother and sister are preparing for lunch." She said to Dark, she smiled and went downstairs.

"Hey, Ryan. You should come eat with us. You should meet my wife and Dark's sister." He said to me, I smiled at him.

"Sure, I already know Red Thunder. She has a craving for me too y'know."

"Don't worry, if she ever makes a move on you. I'll do to her what I did with Dark." He said.

"Thanks, man. I'll be with you in a minute." I said to him, he nodded and trotted outside the room. I quickly closed the door, and wondered about the condition of Ray and the others. So, I tried contacting them using my telepathy powers. Hey, if Max said that the ring can do anything, then I'll try to do it. I finally got in touch with Ray,

"Ray! Ray, it's me." I said to him like I was inside his head.

"Ryan? Ryan! Ryan, we've been looking everywhere for you! Where are you? What happened? Is everything alright?"

"I'm fine, Ray. Calm down—" And then I was being cut off.

"CALM DOWN?! HOW CAN I CALM DOWN IF FLUTTERSHY AND THE MANE 6 ARE LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU?! FLUTTERSHY IS PROBABLY CRYING RIGHT NOW ABOUT YOU!" He shouted angrily.

"RAY! I said calm down. Just inform everyone that I'm fine. Dark's father brought me here at an unknown place and I am okay. I'll inform you if anything happened to me, okay?" I said to him.

"Okay, just… be careful okay?" he said to me with worry.

"I will, tell Fluttershy that I love her and I'll be out in a couple of days."

"Okay, then. Goodbye." He said to me and I cut the connection. I opened the door and went downstairs to join Green to lunch. I entered the kitchen and am greeted by a Nightmare that is unfamiliar to me. She has black fur, gray mane, glowing right eye and a red octagon with 6 black dots for a Cutie Mark.

"Oh, good afternoon. You must be the human that Red was talking about. Ryan, am I right?" she said to me, I went to my sit and said

"Yes, ma'am; I am Ryan Wilson." I said to her.

"My name is Black Star. But you can call me Black or Star, whichever you want."

"It is nice to meet you, Black Star." I smiled to her, and then Red gave me my food… Which is a sandwich filled with maggots and dirt…

"Uhhh…" I said looking at the food; this is bad since I have a very bad gag reflex. Well, not that bad. Green noticed that I'm not eating my food,

"Ryan? Is there something wrong? You look kind of sick." He said to me. I looked at them and saw them eating the sandwich.

"Excuse me… for a minute please… Where is the bathroom?" I asked, they pointed to where the bathroom is and excused myself. I kneeled on the toilet and vomited.

"*hurl* What the fuck is wrong with them people…" I said to myself, and then I continued vomiting. I went out the bathroom for like 3 minutes and went back to sit on the couch.

"Ryan? What happened to you?" Black Star asked me. My head ached and held it.

"We humans do not eat that kind of food. We eat food like, pork, vegetables and fish. Edible food for us humans; Oh God, I think I'm gonna be sick again." I went to the bathroom and puked again. I flushed the toilet and went outside.

"Oh… Sorry, we didn't know. Looks like you're not eating then." Green said to me.

"Oh no, no. Don't be; besides, I got food on my pocket." I said as I pulled out a chocolate bar and ate it.

"Oh, okay." He said to me, I nodded and went to the living room. I leaned forward to peek at the family eating their disgusting maggot sandwich. Green and Black were eating silently, Dark noticed me and gave me a confused look, while Red gave me THE LOOK while licking her maggot sandwich like a motherfucking lollipop. I almost puked and stopped looking at them. Jesus, what kind of world am I in? I got bored and pulled out my phone to listen to some awesome music; I closed my eyes for a while. I played the song Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons.

I opened my eyes when Green awoke me. I looked at them and saw that they were giving confused looks. I know what they were looking at, and so I explained what my phone is and stuff. The family looked at it in awe,

"Now I know why Dark really loves you, you are more advanced in technology than us." Green said to me, I smiled at them.

"Yeah, I get that a lot." I said to them.

"Well, we have to leave. We're ready to go." Black said to me. I stood up and stretched my arms; we then left the cottage walked. As we walked, I felt something brushing against my leg. I looked down to see Red giving me a lustful look while smiling.

"Well… Since Big Sister's memories are temporarily removed. Can I finally mate with you?" she asked me. I stopped walking for a split second and then continued walking.

"No. Nope. Nahhh. Not. Nein." I said to her. She looked at me with those puppy dog eyes, I facepalmed and said

"Oh come on! I had already enough sex for today. Can you just leave me alone?" I said to her. She made a cute pout that made me chuckle. I stopped walking and kneeled down to her.

"Look, I've been traumatized several times by Dark trying to have sex with me. And I'm just lucky that your father was there to help me. But you're a good friend, so if it makes you feel any better. Here…" I concentrated on the light of my ring and made a white rose. Red Thunder was happy and gladly took the rose. She hugged me and said

"Thanks, Ryan!" She said to me, we broke apart and kissed her on the forehead. I saw that she is blushing deep red. I chuckled, and continued walking.

We were talking for a while, like all of the events that happened here at Night Forge.

"What world do you come from, Mr.?" Dark trotted near me and asked me. I said to her while brushing her mane.

"I come from Earth." I said to her.

"Wow, I've always wanted to meet another creature from another world." She said to me. I smiled at her. As we walked, I still saw many Night ponies staring at me; mares were giving me seductive looks while the colt and stallions were giving me hostile and angry looks which made the atmosphere very tense. I ignored them and brought out my ear buds and listened to some sweet music. I pulled out my sunglasses and played I Get Around by The Beach Boys, an old-school classic.

I snapped my fingers to the beat of the music. We walked for a while and saw that we are no longer in Night Forge and we are Nightbane Glades. I turned off my phone and kept it inside my pocket.

"Well, here we are. I'll go find the other Nightmares and colts. Honey, you'll stay here with them." Green said to his wife. She nodded and trotted away from us. I decided to chill back and relax on the dead grass while we wait for Green to come back. I saw Dark, next to me hiding behind her mane and being shy. I chuckled, and then I motioned here to come here; she trotted towards me but she tripped, knocking me back with her. I opened my eyes to see that she was on top of me, we blushed and stood up and fixed ourselves.

"Ehehehe… Here, Dark, sit on my lap." I said to her, she then rested on my lap and brushed her mane. I looked at her and thought that she was actually kind of cute when her sexual lust is not overtaking her. I looked to my right and saw Red giving me a jealous look.

"Tsssss… Come here, Red." I motioned her to come here, she trotted towards me and rested on my lap.

"Hahaha, How sweet." Black Star said to me, I chuckled and said

"Well… No mare can resist me… I think?" I said, Black giggled but it soon faded away.

"But you better prepare…" She said, it sent a chill up down my spine when I heard that. I looked at her.

"Prepare for w-what?" I asked, she trotted towards me and whispered in my ear.

"PREPARE FOR UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES."

It's that sentence again… haunting me like a record stuck on replay. My mind completely flew away and I froze for seconds… I then heard a voice calling out to me.

"Ryan? RYAN!" Black Star shook me. I snapped back and looked everywhere.

"Star? What happened?" I asked her,

"I told you that you must prepare because Hash Night is a celebration where we all mate all night without stopping and such, and then suddenly, you didn't respond and I tried to get you back." She said to me,

"Well, I'm fine now." I said to her, somehow those 4 words are scary and creeping me out and I do not want to hear that again.

"Hash Night, huh? Isn't that like Rutting Day?" I said to Black

"Yeah, for the regular ponies. Hash Night is about come in a couple of days but for Rutting day, it will come in a couple of weeks. So, we are early than them." She said to me, I chuckled to that statement.

"Ooookay…. That is kind of weird and disgusting… Well…. It's not my problem, so who the hell cares?" I said. I looked up to the skies and wondered about the condition of Fluttershy and the others.

Ray's POV; The Next Morning

The Canterlot Guest Room, 9:00 AM

"Ryan said to me that he is fine and will be out in a couple of days." I said to the Mane 6, Fluttershy was beside me, crying.

"At l-least…*sniff* He is f-fine…" She said, I brushed her mane, telling her that all will be fine.

"Where is he now?" Twilight said to me,

"I don't know, he hasn't told me where he is. But he'll inform me if anything happened to him" I told them. And then suddenly, my head began to ache painfully.

"AGH!" I grunted in pain,

"Ray, it's me." Ryan called me,

"Ryan! How are you?" I said to him with worry,

"I'm fine, but I have something to tell you." I then listened to him.

"Return to Pony Ville and wait for my return. I'll be waiting for you there."

"What? Why?" I asked him

"I had a gut feeling stronger than before that tells me when I get back in Equestria, I'll land in Pony Ville. So you have to meet me there and wait."

"Okay, I'll meet you there."

"Wait, I need to talk to Fluttershy."

"How? You are only able to talk to my head." I said to him, confused.

"Just touch her head and I'll be able to talk to her." He said to me, I looked at Fluttershy and touched her head.

"Hey, there 'Shy…"

"Ryan, you idiot! Why didn't you tell me that you were leaving! I was worried about you!"

"Well, I'm sorry 'Shy. I was walking down the streets of Canterlot when Dark's father teleported me to this creepy place."

"Ryan… you idiot…"

"Don't worry, 'Shy. I'll be fine, honey."

"Okay… I love you, Ryan. Be careful…"

"I will… I love you too, 'Shy. I'll meet you back at Pony Ville" and then the connection was off.

"What did Ryan say?" Rarity asked me, I looked down and said

"We have to go back to Pony Ville. We'll wait for him there." I said to them, Applejack took a step forward.

"Why?" she asked,

"We have to, because Ryan said so." I said to them.

"Come on, we'll take the train." Twilight said to me. We then fixed our things and went to the train station. We then went to the ticket booth and bought tickets,

"ALL ABOARD!" The train conductor shouted, we then entered the train and sat on our seats. I looked outside to see us leaving Canterlot. I felt a brush on my left arm and saw Pinkie Pie with a sad face.

"Is Ryan going to be okay?" She said to me, it's the first time that I saw Pinkie Pie sad like that. I hugged her and said,

"Yeah, he's alright. Don't worry…" I said to her, and then suddenly she jumped and shouted in excitement.

"YAY! WE'RE GOING TO SEE RYAN AGAIN! MORE PARTIES!" As I saw her jump in excitement, I chuckled.

"You should dance and sing again! That way, the parties that I'll make will be more fun-tastic! Get it? FUN-TASTIC!"

"Yeah, suppose I will." I continued to look at the window. The trip was really long and boring so I took a nap.

"Good morning, Ultron. How are we today?"

I opened my eyes to see that I was contained in some kind of test tube. I tried escaping but it was no use. I was paralyzed.

"What do you want?" I said to him

"We just want to run some more test."

"NO! GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

"No, you have to stay here Ultron. You cannot escape here." I saw as the head of the project told me.

"You… I will never forgive you. If I get out of here, I'll—"

"You'll what? There's nothing you can do!"

"NO!"

"You have no family, you have no friends. YOU ARE JUST NO-ONE!" he said to me, I gritted my teeth and shouted

"I'll KILL YOU!"

"Mr. Kleiner, please get him back to the test chambers." The head… Eli Vance, sent me back to the chambers, the last time I saw him… He smiled

"NOOOO!"

"NOOOOO!" I woke up in a jolt, bathing in cold sweat. I heard hoofsteps behind me and saw the Mane 6 trotting towards me.

"Ray! Is everything alright?" Rarity asked me

"Yeah… I'm fine… It's just a night mare I had." I said to them, Rainbow Dash sat next to me and said

"Here, I'll stay with you." She said to me, I smiled to her and said

"T-Thanks, Rainbow Dash." She blushed, and the Mane 6 went back to their seats. I laid back and sighed. I rubbed my face and tried to recall the dream.

But no…

It was too horrifying for me to recall it, so I looked outside and decided to not take a nap. I wondered about the condition of Ryan, I hope he is alright.

May God Help Him.
