Chapter XIX: Integrity and Kindness

We are lost again. Damn this map! Why do I get lost when I have a map in my hand? I don't understand this. So, I have in my company Lustyshy, whose mind is opened to the truth by the power of the Violet Spectrum that love is an emotion that we feel, and lust is love for pleasure, and they are different.

Turns out, LS was one of the 9 opponents that Max was talking about. Since there is 7 colors of the rainbow plus two which are the neutral (White and Black) which makes them all 9, then it means that each opponent activates the power of one of the lanterns that matches or opposes to their element. Since Lustyshy's element is Lust, then its opposite is Love; activating the first lantern, Violet.

Wow, there is so much going on right now.

I talked to LS for a while; try to squeeze out some Negative 6 info out of her.

"So, what are the elements of your friends?" I asked her.

"Well, there is Penumbra Sparkle, her element is the element of fright by using illusions as her weapon."

"Fear…" I whispered.

"Helena, on the other hand, possesses the element of sanguine. She enjoys pain and blood like comedy and stuff."

"Compassion…" I whispered again.

"Dahilia Pie possesses the element of sorrow. She uses depression and sadness as her weapon."

"Hope…"

"Ripperjack's element is the element of Death. She has like a scythe on her tail to rip her enemies to shreds."

"Death…"

"And then finally, Razor Dash; she has the element of wrath. She is the most powerful of all since she uses violence as her weapon."

"Rage…"

So, Penumbra will be Yellow, Helena is Indigo, Dahilia is Blue, Ripperjack is Black and then Razor Dash will be Red!

Now I know what to fight them with, Red (Rage), Yellow (Fear), Blue (Hope), Indigo (Compassion), and then Black (Death). The smart thing left to do is go with the flow and let the ring do its job.

"How did you get your Cutie Mark anyway?" I asked her. (INCEST ALERT!)

"Well, when I was a little filly, I used to sleep with my father when I'm scared. When I was sleeping with my father, I hid under the covers and went lower, only to see my father's foalmaker. So, I started to lick it to find out what it tastes like. After couple of minutes, his foal juice scattered in my face."

"Wait… Jesus, what the fuck are you—… Let me get this straight, YOU SIMPLY GAVE YOUR FATHER A BLOWJOB?! OH MY GOD, YOU ARE SICK!"

"W-What?!" She started to cry.

"Wait, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry. I mean, that is so incest! Who the hell would give their father a blowjob?"

"Well…"

"Oh Christ Almighty, please help her… Okay, continue…"

"After finding out the joys of lust. I started to mate with all of my classmates, and then my Cutie Mark appeared."

"Holy fucking shit, LS. You are a whore. Seriously, I cannot believe you. You started to fuck all of your male classmates? Wow, you are just sick. There is nothing, AND I MEAN NOTHING holy about all of you."

"What's wrong about it?"

"Women who like sex are considered a whore. Which is really sick, considering what kind of disease you might get from mating your classmates, AIDS, HIV, SARS and whatever the fuck else."

"Well, I used to be called Shadowshy but because I like sex, I changed it to Lustyshy."

"Makes fucking sense, that is. I cannot just believe you."

"*giggle* Well, that is my path and I can't go back."

"Not after what my ring did to you."

We talked for a while. While walking, but Jesus Christ… Her backstory was the worst story I have ever hear in my whole life. Eeeeuaghh…. Disgusting.

I mean, what kind of daughter would give their father, A BLOWJOB?! My Lord, please help these ponies.

"Alright, screw this map. You know your friend's houses, right? Can you please direct to me where in the wide world is… Bittersweet Corner?"

"It's on the left of this road, go straight and you'll find it."

"Thank Christ. Alrighty, let's go to Dahilia and fight her."

Razor's POV

The Castle Grounds

Well, we got out of that one. Sheesh, that was a big fight in the dungeons a while ago. If it wasn't for a good friend who helped us escape the hundreds of guards that got in our way.

"MICHAEL?! Any great ideas to escape!" I shouted.

We're surrounded, Michael used to be the strategic guy to like defeat these guards and stuff. "No! I don't have one! Let's just do this on sheer combat to do this!"

"I like that idea but I'm not a fan of it!" Ray shouted

The guards circled us in every direction possible; they got us pinned down on the spot. "READY, GUYS?!"

We tighten our grip, "GO!"

Suddenly, in the midst of the guards, one pony knocked them all out with great power and speed. A pony with great strength,

He has white fur, silver hair with blue streaks and some guard's uniform. In order to finish this quick, we joined the fight. Side by side, the guards went down quick enough to give us some breathing room.

The room was silent after the fight, with the three of us still standing with the mysterious pony.

"*pant* Thanks, we couldn't done it without you." I walked to him.

"You're welcome. Name's Silver, by the way."

We introduced ourselves to him, "Michael."

"Ray."

"Razor."

"Nice to see other humans." He said while picking up his scythe.

"Wait… You're human also?"

"Was. Princess Luna gave me a pony form to disguise myself from ponies when I first got here in Equestria."

"Nice, another human." Michael spoke.

"Actually, I'm the first human is Equestria, and yet nopony saw my human form."

"Awesome! I thought Ryan was the first one here." Ray offered him a brofist.

To further escape the castle, I interrupted their conversation. "Ahem, we have to leave now before more guards show up. Come on!"

And then that's it. Silver helped us escape from the Castle to a nearby town called Night Forge, maybe Ryan will be there.

Silver actually has special abilities like electricity and stuff. He also wields a scythe called "Lightning's Edge". As for the first human to ever set foot in Equestria, he is actually kindof pretty strong.

Ray broke the long silence, "Hey, Silver. Why are you here anyway?"

"Celestia sent me to find you and your friend Ryan here in Outer-Equestria because of your mysterious long absence."

"How did she know about Outer-Equestria?" Ray scratched his head.

"She said that she felt an unknowingly powerful burst of energy out of the borders of Equestria. She and Twilight tried to find a book about outside Equestria and found out about Outer-Equestria. The energy felt somehow familiar to her, then finally recognizing the energy from his ring. Thus, sending me to come find you both."

Michael squeezed in, "Dude, that ring of Ryan…"

"I know… It holds great power. The battery a while ago must've sent the energy" I said

Suddenly, I heard a scream from my 3 o' clock. I ran to that direction but Silver stopped me.

"No, dude! These people are sex-hungry. You can't just go and save that mare! She'll rape you!"

"Well, I can't just leave that poor mare alone! Even though these people are hungry for sex doesn't mean we just leave them alone and get in trouble! These ponies have a life, y'know?"

Silver then let go of me and I went to the direction of the scream. I then saw that a mare is being raped by 3 stallions.

"STOP RIGHT THERE! Let go of her!"

It turned around and spoke like one of those modern gangsters, "What did you say, brah? You wanna fight me, brattah? Aw I'll give you a fight! Get'em boys!"

The other two gangsters charged at me, I pulled out knife and knocked then non-lethally; just with some minor wounds and cuts. After that, I turned around to face the last one,

"Do this again… and I'll break your neck." I said intimidatingly. Scared, he ran away from me. I have to say, I felt pretty good after that; considering that was the first time I ever saved a life.

I walked to her and helped her up to her hooves, "T-thank you very much! Is there anything I could repay you?"

"None, ma'am. Just helping a pony in need. Now, be safe ma'am, maybe those punks will be back."

"Thank you, sir!"

"No problem."

She then trotted away from me. I looked behind to see Ray and the others catch up to me.

"Dude! *pant* Don't take off without us, you'll get raped!" Michael chided me.

"Nahh, it's okay guys. Turns out, a pony almost got raped by three pony punks. I saved her for now."

"Nice, let's go find Ryan." Silver bided.

Ryan, Bittersweet Corner

"Well, we're here. Thank Christ, this map is fucking worthless!" I shouted.

"Be careful. Dahilia uses sorrow and misery as her weapon, so whatever you do, don't feel sorry for her. Once you go near her, you'll get crushed and beaten to death!"

"Thanks for the tip. Wish me luck, I'm going in."

"Good Luck!"

I went right in the entrance. What I'm seeing right now is a different view of Sugarcube corner…

There are fucking ropes hanging on the ceiling, a coffin with metal spikes in it, some poison on some tables, and all the other things that is connected to suicide. WITH A SIGN THAT SAYS "Depressed customers, feel free to commit suicide whenever you want."

"What the fuck is this place?" I cursed under my breath. I was speechless on what this place is; it's like a place of death! I walked to the counter and rang the bell to call the counter maid/ clerk.

I heard a voice coming from the kitchen, "I'm coming! Be right there."

Out the entrance of the kitchen, revealed the second opponent that I'm going to fight,

"Dahilia Pie, great to see you."

"Oh! Mr. Ryan! How are you? Take a seat please."

I took a seat near the table, "You don't look too sorrowful, are you, Dahilia?" I asked her.

"Oh no, I just show my sorrowfulness when needed."

Dahilia was another negative version of Pinkie but in terms of hair and tail, they're different. Dahilia's mane and tail are straight but curled and her cutie mark is a sad, crying face. Weird…

"So, you defeated Lustyshy?" Dahilia asked

"Hi, Dahilia!"

"Aw, Hi LS!"

"Alrighty then, should we fight now?" I said to her while twiddling my thumbs.

"Not yet, you have to make me feel sad first. Say some hurtful words for a minute."

I stood up, "Alright, you asked for this. You're retarded, you're stupid, moron, idiot and stuff."

"Not like that. Do it more angrier and it really comes from inside."

3…

2…

1…

"YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT PONY! YOU GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING TRASH! I CAN'T EVEN STAND NEAR YOU! DO I LOOK LIKE A FUCKING SEX TOY TO YOU? BITCH! I AM NOT! I HAD IT WITH YOU AND YOUR STUPID NEED FOR SEX! YOU GODDAMN FUCKING LUNATIC! YOU COCKSUCKING SHITHEADS!"

Well, holy shit. That has been the angriest thing I have ever been since I was a kid. Truth to be told, all of that was actually directed to Dark, in all of the things she done to me.

A moment of silence was heard in the room.

"Uhhh… Did it work?" I asked.

I looked at Dahilia to see that she was tearing up, her eyes watering, legs shaking. I think it did work.

"Oh, wait no, I'm s—" Due to my stupid thinking, I got trapped in her embrace. It started suffocating me.

"Why… Why did you say those hurtful words?! WHY?!" She started to cry. Goddamn it, why did I feel sorry for her? Lustyshy already gave me the warning yet why did I… Nevermind.

"L-Let… go of me… *cough*" I pleaded but she is drowning in her tears of sorrow, and she can't hear me.

I used my ring to set me free of her embrace. But she's so strong; my ring can't even do that! I started punching her sides and headbutting her.

"WHY DID YOU HURT ME?! WHY IS THE WORLD SO CRUEL?!" She started to cry even more. I can't breathe anymore, my vision started to fade away.

"H…H… HOPE."

"In fearful day, In raging night,

With strong hearts full, our souls ignite.

When all seems lost in sorrow and fright,

Look to the stars, for hope burns bright!"

The ring shone blue light. The light of hope strengthened me, I broke out of her dangerous embrace and the blue aura surrounded her.

Just like what happened to Dahilia, I spoke to her with sense. "Do not fear, do not shed tears. Hope is the key to unlocking true happiness, and fight sorrow. Hope is a chance, a chance of redemption, a chance of joy, a chance to feel happiness. And so, I ask you… Do you wish to be in sorrow, live in misery until you die or enjoy the feel of happiness and joy."

"Happiness…"

"As you wish…"

The blue aura engulfed her, filling her with hope and washing away the sorrow that is deep within her. It just happened like that of Dahilia, the same aura changed her ways to its respective element. Sorrow to Hope.

The same shockwave also happened, knocking back me and Dahilia. This time, I maintained my consciousness.

"Damn, this thing is awesome!" I yelled. I walked up to Dahilia and helped her up.

"Hey Dahilia…"

"Hm?"

"Smile." I said. She smiled while looking at me. She's cute, I'll give her that.

"Alright, 2 down and 4 to go!"

"It feels… great being happy!" Dahilia shouted happily and excitedly.

"Told you. In sorrow, you feel nothing but sadness and hurt. You feel it again and again until you want to die, but killing yourself isn't the answer of sorrow. If you try to look to the stars, and see that all of them shines so bright, and so is hope. Hope is the emotion we feel when we are down, if we feel hope; we also feel courage. We feel that there is still one more chance for us to feel joy once more in life. Never Give Up…"

"Nice words! It gave a whole new meaning to hope!" Lustyshy spoke.

"There are things in life that is more complex than this. When things don't go your way; Just remember, you're not the only one having problems."

"Thanks Ryan. I'll do that next time." She said.

"You coming? Since Lusty is in here, maybe you should join us?"

"WOULD I EVER?! Weeee!" She used her magic to enter inside my head. I still don't know how this magic works because Dahilia is a Nightmare Earth pony. I mean, what is in them magic?

"Alrighty then." I ran outside to the third opponent, Helena.

"So, Dahilia… How did you get your Cutie Mark?" I asked.

"Well, my father used to beat me up several times. My mother died of a heart attack. Several years later, my father followed my mother. That, I never had a family. Neither one of my relatives came to take care of me, so I lived in the streets alone; with no-one by my side. One day, I met this wonderful colt. He made me feel happy and stuff but one tragedy struck him, I went to his house and I saw himkilled himself because of depression. Hanged on the ceiling… I cried and cried on the floor until something snapped in my head. I actually enjoy sorrow, I loved seeing someone be sad in front of me. Suddenly, my Cutie Mark appeared. And the Element of Sorrow chose me."

"You… are not having a good life right now. That is messed up, Dahilia. I mean, I never heard someone's life is like that!"

"Well, that's what happened…"

"But, you know what they say. Look to the stars, for hope burns bright, right? Life is cruel sometimes, it gives us things that we don't want. But with hope, nothing can go wrong."

"Thanks Ryan… for giving me hope and courage."

"That's what friend's do, right?"

Suddenly, I heard another voice out of nowhere talked in my head.

"My, my… Looks like 2 of my subjects failed. Pity…"

"DARK! What are doing here?!" I yelled.

"Oh, just checking on my traitor err… lover on how he's doing! Looks like you're doing good!"

"Where are my friends?!"

"Bad news, they escaped."

"Thank God…"

"Good news, they're not the only hostages I kidnapped. Lookie here, lover!"

I then saw from Dark's point of view… THE MANE 6 TIED IN CHAINS INSIDE A DUNGEON?!

"You sick pony! Let them go, they have nothing to do with this!"

"Now, now, Ryan. Why would I do that? You have to defeat the Negative 6 first before then, I'll set them free."

"Ryan! Help us!" Twilight shouted. I gritted my teeth in anger.

"You truly are a monster…" I said.

"Now be safe! If you lose, they'll die… Tata!" Then the voice was gone. Dark, you fucking monster, why are you doing this?!

"Goddamn it!" I shouted. Thank God, Ray and the others escaped. But then, the Mane 6's lives are at stake! If I lose now, she'll kill Fluttershy with the others! Guess I have to win every fight.

"What now?" Dahilia asked.

"We'll just have to win every fight. You have to give me tips and tricks to win from the Negative 6. Or else, my friends and my beloved will die with me…"

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Lustyshy said.

"Let's do this!"

4 more to go. I can't lose any battle now, especially FS's life is on the line. If I get to Dark, I will kill her.

Next stop, Shadow Boutique and Helena.
