Chapter XIII: Apprehension

The trip took like an hour, faster than what I expected. Normally, the train would take 2 hours and a half to arrive in Pony Ville. Weird, but fine… The train then halted to a stop and we exited the train and parted ways. But Rarity noticed me and asked,

"Darling? Aren't you coming with us?" I turned around and replied

"No, I'm going to meet someone—err… somepony at the hospital. I'll see you guys later." I said to her and she nodded as the Mane 6 trotted away. I have no idea on where the hospital is located so I asked somepony about the directions.

I walked around Pony Ville just to find the hospital but then suddenly, several fillies surrounded me,

"Excuse me mister, but are you Mr. Ray?" they asked me, I smiled to them and nodded yes. Their smiles widened and took out some paper,

"Can I have your autograph?"

"Sure thing." I said to them as I gave them my autograph and one by one, they left with smiles on their faces. It feels really good to make people happy, it's the first time that this happened to me since that… experiment. But it doesn't matter anymore, I'm popular and that's fine but it doesn't mean that I have to brag about it every single minute.

Everyone thanked me and left happily, and then I continued walking to the direction of the hospital. It took me 10 minutes to get there but I finally arrived at the hospital; as I walked in, so many patients were injured yet so few, then I heard whispers,

"Is that the guy who amazingly danced in the street?"

"Wow… he looks really handsome!"

"I really want his autograph."

Well… Ryan isn't the only one with amazing talents, I guess. I walked up the counter and asked the counter maid and asked,

"Excuse me miss, but I'm looking for a pony named Nurse Redheart?"

"Oh, yes. She is at the roof, sir. She just came back from Canterlot, you can take the stairs."

I thanked her and went upstairs to meet her. I arrived at the roof and opened the door and saw her staring blankly at the blue sky… her blue ocean eyes and her pink hair gracefully swaying with the wind. She was so beautiful…

I walked toward her and she turned around to look at me, she smiled joyfully and said

"Ray! You're finally back! I am so glad to see you." She said to me as she hugged me tight, and I hugged her back. Yeah, it's great to be back…

"Me too, Redheart…" I let her go, but I noticed something. Something was wrong with her, so I kneeled to her and placed my hand to her cheek,

"Redheart, is there something wrong? If there is, tell me. I'm an open guy after all." I said assumingly. She looked at me and smiled, letting out a tear from her eyes.

"Ray, I have something to tell you…" She said to me, I leaned closer to her, giving her the 'Sure, tell me' signal. And then she took a deep breath and began,

"Ray… I love you…"

Her words shocked me and pierced through my heart, I have never felt this feeling for a long time that I never thought I would. So before I can even say anything, she kissed me passionately on the lips… and it felt good. Better than Trixie's kiss from a while back. Trixie's kiss was forceful and uncomfortable while Redheart's kiss was so… passionate and loving. We broke apart; she looked at me with her beautiful oceanic eyes and spoke,

"Ray… I understand that you're not a stallion but… I chose you as my special someone. I love you so much with all my heart, Ray…"

No words came out of my mouth after her sentence… I was speechless. Redheart was the only mare that understands me and cares for me… Well, Ryan too was like my own brother because he treated me like the bestest friend all the time…

The feeling grew stronger, more accurate and now it's so clear to me… I AM IN LOVE WITH HER; and then my eyes turned into the color pink and mean one single thing. My stomach began having butterflies, and then I looked at her, and began,

"I… I love you too, Redheart." I finally said it… those three words that came from the heart. I never thought that this would happen… so I hugged her and she hugged me back, but when suddenly, I noticed something warm dripping on my pants. So I looked to see her marehood wet and dripping juices on my pants.

"Oh! I am terribly sorry about that, it's just because of the heat…" She said to me looking away, blushing. I chuckled and spoke,

"Redheart… Do you… want to mate with me?" I asked, my throat drying… And then she looked at me, smiling.

"Do you want to?"

"Whatever suits you…" I said to her, and then she smiled. I don't care what they say about having sex with ponies, but it's unbelievable to say that I really do want to 'do' it with her. But this is some other universe we're talking about.

She then proceeded to kiss me, passionately. And then all of a sudden, we're tongue wrestling; her tongue was dancing along with my tongue with her arms wrapped around my neck.

"Ray… I want to see it." She said to me as we separated. I looked at her and nodded, so I took off my leather jacket and the rest of my clothes on the floor, continuing to kiss Redheart.

"Wait… What if someone catches us up here?" I asked

"Don't worry, no one will." She said in an assuring tone, I smiled again. So I took off my boxers and I was now completely exposed. And then she laid on her back, signaling me to insert my shaft into her hot marehood. I kneeled to her, lining it to her wet pony pussy,

"Are you ready?" I asked.

"Yes, but be gentle. It's my first time, by the way."

"You and me both, Redheart." I said to her, and then I inserted it slowly inside her marehood. It felt strange, considering it is my first time. It was warm and soft and tight, and it felt really good that it sent a shiver up my spine.

"Uuumph! Ahh…" She moaned,

"Redheart… Do you want me to…"

"No… don't take it out… Please… proceed." She said to me. And so I did; I slowly moved back and forth, she moaned louder but quieter…

"Ahhh…. Faster…" She requested, and then I moved even faster as I was kissing her and moaning in my mouth and my hand fondling her marehood, adding more pleasure into her. Our lips separated, and I spoke,

"Redheart… I-I'm going to…" I stuttered, moving even faster than before,

"Do IT!" She shouted….

Closer…

It's coming closer…

"HAAAHH!" I shouted. And there it was, our climax together… filling her marehood with my hot seed, and collapsing to the floor with her.

"That… was amazing… Redheart…" I said, panting in exhaust and tired.

"Yeah… I love you, Ray." She said to me facing me. I smiled and laid back as we watched the open, blue skies…

Ryan's POV

Nightbane Glades, Time is Unknown

BORED! I'm so getting bored in Night Shine Blades whatever the fuck it is. Luckily, I made a Rubik's Cube out of the light in my ring and tried to solve it.

"What is that?" Dark asked me,

"It's called the Rubik's Cube. It's like a puzzle where you scramble this cube and try to get it back to its original place." I explained to her as I scrambled the cube and try to solve it.

"Hmmm… Front inverted, down inverted, right down… Hmmm…" I said to myself while looking at the cube. And Dark was looking at me, amazed at my skills at solving at the cube.

"There! It is finished!" I said to myself, Dark's and Red's eyes widened, amazed at my skills and intelligence upon solving the hardest puzzle in my world. I looked at them and gave them the cube.

"Not only you're awesome, but also you're smart!" Black Star praised me. I chuckled, and laid back. Unfortunately, I'm still bored as hell. So I pulled out my phone and played some music.

"While Green is busy, let's listen to some music shall we?" I said to them and they nodded in response so I played Safe and Sound by Capital Cities

After the song ended, my boredom vanished. But I noticed something about Dark, is she crying?

"Dark, are you crying? What's wrong?" I asked her, wiping her tears and began

"It's what my Dad used to tell me… that we'll be always safe and sound. One time, Sprawls attacked Night Forge. I was a little filly once, and Dad protected me from the Sprawls and said that we're safe and sound and we don't have to worry anymore. He said that I should join him fight but I was weak and defenseless… So I told him that I can't…" She sobbed even more. Actually, I pity her. Seeing that emotion on her face made me feel sorry for her, so I hugged her and brushed her mane.

"Don't worry Dark, you'll get stronger one day. I'll support you because; I know that you're more than you think you are. Even in a tidal wave of mysteries, you will still find your true potential." I said to her, she stopped crying and looked at me smiling and then she hugged me back.

"Thank you, Ryan. That's so kind of you." She said to me as she nuzzled in my chest. She's not so bad after all; I would like to be her friend but not her sex buddy. I'm glad that she would be like this for an hour or longer, so I can rest from all of those 'Oh-Ryan-I-Want-To-Mate-With-You' scenarios.

I looked at Red and she was giving me the jealous look then the puppy eyes. I chuckled at her and spoke,

"Oh Jesus Christ… Come here, Red." I said to her as I hugged them both in my arms under the… What the hell is this, sun and moon combined? Oh Jesus H.!

When suddenly, a bright green flash appeared right before our eyes and looked to see Green standing there with a scared look at his face.

"Sprawls… they're coming this way!" he said panting. Recalling what Celestia said to me was Sprawls are Nightmares and Colts that didn't eat much spiritual energy.

Suddenly, we heard screams and panic at a certain distance.

"Good God…" I said to myself.

"We need to fight back. Ryan, can you fight?" He asked me, I nodded in response.

"Great, let's go!"

We then ran towards the Sprawls and attacked them. I was the first to strike them; using light to make a large fist and punching them back hard and using my spider powers to fight them. Then using my adamantium claws to slice them to bits but they blocked me and held me tight to eat me but Green saved me and then we continued to fight them.

Several minutes of fighting passed. Fighting them was no use, they just keep on coming. Me and Green were tired and exhausted, so we found a breathing room from the fighting.

"Dammit… It's no use, how many are they? A thousand?" I asked, panting.

"More than that." He said to me. GODDAMN IT! It really takes a lot to kill them,

"If we don't stop them, we will all be doomed!" Green said in worry, but I have an idea.

"Green, remove Dark's spell." I said to him. Shocked, he said in response,

"But what about…" Before he can continue, I said to him,

"It's the only way Green. She doesn't know that she's the most powerful Nightmare in here. So you have to remove it." I said to him persuasively. He had no choice so he removed the spell. He walked towards Dark and placed his horn to her head and a flash appeared. I rubbed my eyes and looked that she turned to the wristband again, so I walked and picked the wristband and wore it. I could already feel the energy surging through my body, making me even more powerful.

"It's good to be back, my lover." Dark spoke in my head.

"Ooookay then… We have company, Dark. Can you combine your energy with my ring?" I asked her. I heard her giggle and said,

"With pleasure."

"Good, let's kick some Sprawl ass!" I said to her and the other family members to fight with me.

I concentrated on my ring when suddenly; black aura surrounded my ring joining the white light that my ring produced. Then my ring turned into the color that I never thought it would turn… BLACK which means Death!

"Oh no… This is a really bad idea."

"Don't worry, Ryan. It's okay." Dark said assumingly. Suddenly, the ring began to shake and my body began to decompose a bit as I vomited blood, not ordinary red blood but BLACK BLOOD. I began to mumble words like, "DEATH IS COMING… HE'S COMING…"

"dArK… ssssstoo-ppp!" I said to her but she didn't respond. Suddenly, I lost control of myself and charged into the Sprawls. Killing them one by one, punching them hard until they die. Dark summoned a scythe using her magic and I grabbed it, slicing them and killing them. I tried regaining control but it was no use, the ring and Dark's magic were too powerful for me to handle.

One of the Sprawls attacked behind me, trying to incapacitate me. Its claws slashed to my chest, so I kicked him back and grabbed my scythe to decapitate him. Then suddenly, I felt something, like my body weakening. I finally regained control of my body and calmed myself a bit while looking at my wound on my chest. And then something hit me, why am I not healing when I saw my shoulder healing when I first transported to Equestria?"

"*gurgle* RAH! What is this, poison?!" I shouted angrily,

"Sprawls have poison on their claws sometimes. Don't worry, my lover. I'll get that for you." She said to me as my wounds in my chest began to heal and the pain vanished.

"Finally, I regained control." I said to myself as I charged towards some Sprawl, one grabbed me and threw me to a bunch of other Sprawls and they got me pinned down and several of them piled up on me.

"ENOUGH!" Me and Dark shouted as a large shockwave was produced, knocking the Sprawls back like 10 miles away. Then the Black ring shone brightly with the wristband, and then suddenly the wristband slipped from my wrist and transformed into Dark. When the wristband was off, my body returned to normal and I watched Dark when suddenly, she recited the oath the was pretty familiar to me,

"The Blackest Night falls from the skies,

The darkness grows as all light dies,

We crave your hearts and your demise,

By my black hooves—the dead shall rise!"

Oh no… Was she influenced by the ring? This can't be happening…

"WITNESS THE POWER OF DARK FUSION!" She shouted. Suddenly, a bright light shined near her and I closed my eyes due to the brightness.

"EVERYONE HIT THE DECK!" I shouted, then Green and the others placed a force field around them and I also made a force field using my ring and a whooshing sound was heard. The light was gone and it seems that it's clear. So I looked to see that the Sprawls turned into ashes and died. I looked back to see that Green and the others are fine and Dark was lying on the ground so I ran to her and tried to wake her up.

"Dark, are you alright?" I said to her when suddenly a flash appeared and saw that Dark was gone and she teleported behind me, giving me a large hug.

"Why yes, I am, my lover." She said to me, breathing out deep to my neck, feeling her hot breath.

"Oooookay then… Get off me." I said to her as I stood up.

"I missed you so much, my lover!" she said to me. Fear struck me, recalling the even that happened a while ago. How was she influenced by the ring? I have to ask Max later.

"Yeah… I miss you too…" I said to her,

"Awww… looks someone is getting attached to me!" she said teasing me, I looked at her and smiled.

"Shut up, Dark." I said to her, chuckling.

"Anyway… That was the best fight I had in years! I like completely used up all of my powers to defeat those Sprawls! That was Deadpoolicious!" I said shouting, but they were confused on the last word that I said.

"Let's… go home." Green said smiling, and so we went home.

We walked through the direction of Night Forge until we reached the gates, Dark was looking at me while I was holding her hoof and Nightmares and colts were looking at me funny while they looked at Dark happy.

"Oh my gosh! It's Dark Fusion, the mare that saved us all!" a stallion announced,

"Oh Jesus… Hey Green, lemme ask you a question. Why is Dark so powerful by the way?" I asked him. The way she recited that oath was still a mystery, but I have to ask Green all about her to get to know her better.

"She traveled in to the rift for 200 years; the energy that is in her body became even more powerful. Ten times more powerful than anyone making her the most powerful Nightmare in the entire town."

I would sure as hell spit water everywhere when I heard that, but instead my eyes widened in shock.

"TWO HUNDRED YE—How old are you ponies?!" I asked in disbelief. Two hundred years, my ass.

"I am 267 years old, my wife is 253 years old and Red here is 196 years old."

Water, more water will be spat. This is so bull right there…

"Bullshit, man. That's bullshit right there." I said in disbelief.

"No, seriously." Green said,

"Oh Jesus H…. This is one strange world…" I said to myself.

We continued to talk and talk about when do we mature, how old do we die and stuff like that. Dark's family isn't that bad after all, her parents are really kind to me and they protect me from Dark's raging hormones. Eeeugh… Thinking about it creeps me the math out.

"How about you, Dark? How old are you?" I asked her,

"Hmmm… I'm 179 when I ran away into the rift… plus 200… I am 379 years old."

"THREE HUNDRED—OH COME ON! That is so old!" I said in utter shock. All in honesty, I would have created an ocean right now.

"Impossible! Nightmares and colts can't be still alive 300 and up!" Black Star said,

"Well, she became powerful and all so it's obvious that she did something that caused her to age more than a regular Nightmare or colt." I said to them.

"You are correct, my lover. By the way, you haven't told us how old you are." She said while raising an eyebrow.

"I'm 18 years old, which means that I am a teenager now."

"Interesting… I'd like to see how mature my lover will be later…" Dark said in a seductive tone while I rolled my eyes.

The weird black sun that shined no light is finally setting. We have arrived minutes later at the cottage and everyone was exhausted and tired from the fight that we had a while ago, we like completely used up all our energy from fighting all those Sprawls coz' I could sleep for a millennium!

"*yawn* I'm soooo tired from that fighting a while ago! I could sleep for a millennium!" I said to them,

"You said it my lover…"

"Oh Jesus…"

"Well, Good night everypony!" Black Star spoke

"Good night!" I followed and everyone else went to their room, but before that, Green gave me a warning,

"Well, we did our best to hold her off Ryan. Watch out, Dark usually likes it rough so you better look out."

"Thanks anyway, I appreciate your help and don't worry, I think I can manage everything." I said in an assuring tone, but for the love of God, I gave up! Green patted me in the back and walked away while Red tugged my polo,

"All I can say is have fun with her!" Red spoke to me, smiling. I sighed, as a sign of hopelessness and despair, I laid on the couch and pulled out my phone. Nothing gets better than listening to music while sleeping at a comfy couch. So I played Unwell by Matchbox 20

Couple of hours later, I was fast asleep that time when I felt something tickling my testicles and wetness on my legs. So I opened my eyes and saw that I was naked and saw Dark fondling my balls in her room.

"OH JESUS! GODDAMMIT DARK!" I cursed at her while covering my privates, which made her only giggle at my sudden reaction to her.

"FOR THE LOVE OF—Alright, that's it. Is there any way that we can do so that I can't be a freaking Reaper?!" I tried to prolong the time, but on the looks of her face, I know that there's a way.

"Actually, there is. You can let me have some of your blood so that when he have intercourse, you can't turn into one."

"ARE YOU SHITTING ME?! GODDAMMIT DARK! This is sooo much crap!" I cursed,

"I'm terribly sorry about that." She apologized, which made me want to have an orbital face-palm right now.

"Alright, then let's go…" I said to her, but one thing kept circling in my head…

"I'm sorry, Fluttershy… Always somewhere, I miss you everywhere I go. But don't worry, I'll be back to love you again…" Then I was fast asleep,

It's that room again, the same room where Max meets and talks to me about everything. He then appears in front of me,

"Ryan, YOU IDIOT! Why did you agree to combine Dark's power with your ring?! You now gave her some of your power and now she's stronger than before!" He shouted at me,

"Oh come on! I didn't know and I thought it would be a good idea to do that!"

"It's not! You're lucky that she almost got control of the ring and be like 10 times more powerful and I was there to drive her out the ring."

"Ok, answer this. How was she influenced by the ring? And why did I become a zombie-like person yesterday?"

"With her dark magic combined, it unlocked the deadliest of all lanterns which is the Black Lantern."

"Well, that explains everything."

"Don't ever do that again or else you'll end up giving her half of your abilities."

"Alright then, I'm sorry."

"Good, now get out of here."

Then everything went black…

(After countless of hours having sex since Dark kept giving Ryan energy to fill him up and kept inserting his stick in to her hole. Sorry about removing the lemons, it's just that I'm lazy.)

I woke up feeling very, very tired. I tried to move my arms but they were too numb and I was paralyzed. Dark also woke up and made a seductive smile while looking at me,

"Oh Jesus H.! That was crazy! I don't want to do that ever again, please, I freaking beg don't do that again. I'm so tired, I'm exhausted, my friends are probably worried sick about me AND MY DICK HURTS, WHAT THE HELL!" I cursed to her, begging that the mating would stop so that I could rest.

"No, my lover… Round 10 is up!" she said while giving me THE LOOK

"OH JESUS PLEASE HELP ME!" I begged but she didn't respond, my ring do me any good since that incident yesterday about the Sprawls which left the ring disabled for a limited time.

"Please, don't do this. I'm a human with a fucking soul. I need to eat, play, sleep and do stuff so you can't do this to me forever."

And yet again, she doesn't listen to me.

"DANG IT DARK! WILL SOMEBODY, ANYPONY HELP ME!" I pleaded for help when Green, Black and Red busted right through the door.

"Get away from him, daughter! That is enough!" He was firm with his word, but Dark showed resistance to them. When suddenly, a big bright flash shot Dark, turning her into a snail.

"Dang, what took you guys so—I mean, thanks!" I said to them.

"You are welcome, Ryan." Black said to me,

"OK GREAT, NOW I REALLY NEED TO GET BACK TO PONY VILLE A.S.A.P!" I said to them, but there were silence in the room,

"I know a spell, but I forgot it." Green said while scratching the back of his neck. Due to the trauma a while ago, I can't help but to facepalm so hard,

"YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING SHITTING ME, MAN!" I panicked,

"Don't worry, we'll just go to the Night Forge library and find that book which contains the spell."

"We'll go on foot." Black Star suggested. Panic is slowly overtaking me and I need to go now before Dark transforms back, so I grabbed my clothes and wore them quick.

"WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME! COME ON, LET'S JUMP!" I said as I grabbed the 3 ponies and jumped to the library.

Meanwhile at the cottage,

A dark aura surrounded the snail as it produced a white light, breaking Dark free of the transformation spell. Smiling evilly, she began,

"Ryan will be mine… AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME!" she shouted while laughing maniacally.

Back to Ryan and the others,

"Come on… Come on… Where is the damn book!" I said while hurriedly searching for the book. I can't stand Dark mating with me anymore, it's got to stop because she's crazy for sex and I don't want that.

"OH RYYYAAAAAAN! WHERE AAARRRE YOOUUUU!?" a voice called out at the other side of the bookshelf. I was frozen cold for a second, it was Dark!

"Shit, shit…shit, shit!" I cursed multiple times, I tried to go the other way but I met with her face to face.

"THERE YOU ARE!" Dark shouted like a maniac. Despite the black magic helping me, I looked at my ring and it was up and running again.

"GODDAMMIT DARK!" I cursed and slipped the ring to my finger and used the Blue spectrum to hold her off for a minute then jumped back to Green,

"HURRY UP, DUDE. DARK'S HERE!" I said panicking. I've never panicked like this before, considering sex with a pony with dark powers multiple times is counted to my 'NOPE' list.

"Here it is!" He flipped the pages and found the spell that he was looking for. Suddenly, a black energy just shot at me but luckily I dodged it.

"DUDE! WHAT THE HELL!" I shouted to her, she teleported in front of me and pinned me down on the floor.

"I want you… Please, stay with me…" She said while leaning closer to face. I teleported behind her when Black and Red tried to stall her.

"Green, maybe now's a good time to do the teleportation thingy!" I said to him while looking at the paged fast.

"I FOUND IT! Hold still!" he instructed me and I followed. Green produced a green light around his horn and pointed it at me, surrounding me with green aura which made me float.

"Thanksforeverythingguyspeace!" I said quickly as I vanished and finally leaving them, Black freed Dark from her grip and shouted,

"I WILL COME FOR YOU MY LOVER! YOU WILL WAIT!"

I was teleported back into Pony Ville but it left me on mid-air, so I fell and crashed into multiple stands. I opened my eyes to see Rose staring at my face with that "Ryan-Is-That-You?" face.

"RYAN! OH I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU! I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE FOREVER! IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK!" she said to me while hugging me tight, I look into the blue skies to make sure that if I am back, so I hugged Rose back, and began

"Yeah… *cough* *cough* It's good BE back, Rose…" I said to her as I smiled and relieved of every problem that I couldn't solve on my own. I feel relaxed and it's really good to be back. I stood up and cleaned myself and when I looked up, I saw Ray in front of me.

"Bro… is that really you?!"

Author's Notes:

I'm not very good at lemons and sex stuff. Good thing though...
