This is going to be the chapter when Dustin gets his true powers. Prepare for wicked awesomeness!

I finished my coffee and realized I was daydreaming. When I got a good sense of my surroundings I noticed time was slowing down again. Then the hooded pony with bat wings made his way to me.

"You have ruined my plans!"

"I warned you to bugger off."

"Now you are forcing my hoof. I won't be able to kill you but I know what will destroy you from the inside." He teleported. How did he do that? He's a pegasus! What can he do?

Kay's POV

I was with all the girls getting a dress made. I felt sick in someway though.

"What's wrong Kay?" asked Twilight. "You look sick?"

"I was just thinking that. I feel like something's about to go wrong."

"And who would want to ruin your wedding?" asked Rarity.

"Hahaha! I would!" We all turned to see a large pegasus with bat wings flying in the air. "Kay. Come with me." He levitated me in the air and held my in one arm. He used a shadow like spell to put the girls in a sleep. "I need you Kay to kill your husband."

Dustin's POV

I had this bad feeling in my gut. Like I need to throw up. This only happens when someone I know is about to die. Don't tell me that maniac went after...

"Hahaha! Now you will listen to me Shadow!" I turned around to see him holding Kay hostage. "I must kill you. Don't you know that?"

"Okay just let her go!"

"Oh I can't do that!" Why would you do this?

"Can I not just get a week of peace?"

"Nope." He levitated me in the air. "Since Celestia can't help you. No one will." The rest of my friends came out and he quickly put them to sleep. "You see. You two are Time Lords."

"No. We aren't."

"You created this universe and got summoned her. Don't you know human life is going on without you making history."

"How do you know all of this?"

"Because My master told me this!" He put us both on the ground and summoned a sword which he just kept swinging around. "He said that I have to kill you!"

"Who is this master?" I know he's about to do something. He held the sword in front of me like a bow.

"I'll won't tell you." He shot it at me. Time slowed down. I couldn't hear a sound except for one distinctive noise. It was like someone was getting impaled. In that half a second.... I learned that I have something to do with time and I also lost my wife.

"No!" I screamed seeing the pony in front of me fall. She was coughing blood but still alive. But not for long.

"Don't worry Dustin!" said Dancing Blade. "When she dies she'll be returned to Earth and with you hear it's going to be like she never went in a coma. Like you never existed."

"That's just wrong! Why would you do this?!" I couldn't hold my tears. I didn't want to. Kay grabbed my by the neck and pulled me in.

"I guess we aren't allowed to be together love."

"No... Don't say that!" All my friends woke up and ran to my side. "Stay with me! Please! I need you!"

"I can't. Listen Dusty you stay here and be the hero you were born to be." She reached into her pocket and handed me a silver locket. It was a present from a few years back on our first date. "Light our darkest hour." She said dieing in my arms.

"*sniff* NNNNOOOOO!!! No no nooo..." I cried into her chest. I took the locket and when I did it glowed a light white color. Then her body turned into dust and disappeared. The wind carried her off into time.

"Hahaha! That was better than I hoped for!" Yelled Dancing Blade jumping up and clicking his back heels together. "Oh what's wrong Dustin. 'K'at got you tongue! Get it! With a K like Kay!" I gave him a cold dead stare. I stood up and put the necklace on. Then a song played that my friends and I know too well.

Play 'Touch' by Stan Bush. It was the song from the old cartoon transformers movie.

"Gah!" yelled Blade covering his ears. "What is that noise?"

"That's the song of your death!" I pulled out a headset. "Dawn. Scythes."

"But Dustin! Kay! She's... she's.."

"Dawn! NOW!" He did as was told and my two scythes appeared in my hands. "You just had to do it didn't you Blade. I was about to get married. She had a baby on the way. My baby!"

"I-I I killed a-a ..."

"An Infant!" I yelled. I jumped in the air and brought my right scythe down cutting off his left wing. Before he could scream I turned and cut off the other one with my other scythe. Then I stuck both of them in the ground and lifted myself up giving him a double kick to the eye sending blood everywhere.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" he cried.

"You acted so cold and evil just a minute ago. What's wrong Blade?!" I grabbed his face and put it on my scythe blade dragging him back and forth on it leaving a large cut. "You just killed the woman I love! I killed your brother in self defense. You murdered my wife and child."

"You were suppose to die! Please don't kill me!"

"I was suppose to die but she died instead!" The locket around me glowed some more. "You have taken away the last thing I had left and for that I will kill you!" I took my blades and cut off his one of his front hooves.

"AAAAAHHHHH! Why!" He began to crawl away.

"Why do you think!" I saw him pick up a pipe that was cut and sharpened due to collateral damage I did. But before I could stop him Rainbow Dash jumped on his back.

"Oh no you don't!" she yelled trying to hold him down. He grabbed her as hostage and slammed the pipe into my chest piercing my body.

"Fall. Fall!" he screamed as I took a few steps back dropping my blades. The Kevlar vest took most of the blow but I felt it pierce a rib. "I want to hear you scream before you die Shadow." he said throwing Rainbow into my group of friends.

I turned my back and let him get close. I took in a few deep breaths and put my front hooves together. When he got close enough I gave him an extremely deadly uppercut. I felt his neck snap. "Never!" I yelled sending his body in to the building. I looked down and pulled the pipe out and looked at the locket. It was hit but didn't show any scratches at all. Not one.

"Dustin! Dustin!" yelled my friends coming to help me. They all got me on my feet and I went to the remaining bit of dust from Kay's body.

"Twilight. Cast a viewing window spell." She did as was told and made a large TV screen/ portal open up. I threw the dust in it. "Portal. Show me Kay Kronor current date."

"Acknowledged." said the portal in a computer voice. We all saw a human Kay on a date in France similar to mine but instead of me was my brother. "Kay Shafer detected. Married to Cody Shafer. All memories of Dustin Shafer have been erased."

"I see." I wiped a tear. "How is her life?"

"They are a rich and happy family. 3 kids. Big house. A dog."

"Then she really has changed. Kay likes cats." I told it.

"Did. She's different now." The portal closed and I sat on my back legs to hold my head in my hooves.

"Dustin I am so sorry." said Rainbow Dash.

"Don't be. You tried to help and I thank you for it. So would Kay." Static came up and put a hoof on my back.

"It's going to be okay buddy."

"No it's not! I was about to be married and that fucker had to go and ruin it! Everything I had is gone! I was going to be a dad god dammit!"

"I know." He used his magic to pull out a cigarette.

"You know me so well." I said biting it out of the air. He lit it up and I enjoyed the taste in my mouth. "So now what."

"You live." said Twilight. "You taught me never to give up. Why are you now?"

"Because Kay-"

"Kay died for you!" yelled Twilight. She was right. "Your just going to sit around and let yourself die because she knew you would do good in the future!"

"Your right Twilight." I opened the locket around my neck. Their was a picture of her in it and a folded up picture. Twilight took it and opened it up with her magic. It was an old yellow picture that aged.

"What is it?" asked Twilight holding it up for all to see.

"It's me and her. Theirs Kelly. Brandon. Lucas. and Nathan. I met him before I came here. Lost a lot of weight." Static, Forest, Sky, and Blaze all laughed.

"He was a bit chubby wasn't he?" asked Sky.

"A bit?!" asked Blaze. I laughed a little at that. Then a wounded Celestia walked up behind me.

"So it's over?" she asked me.

"Maybe." I went to the building and pulled out Blade's head. "Yep!"

"I am so sorry Dustin."

"I know. I'm not even Dustin anymore. Now I'm Shadow." I wiped another tear away.

"We could have avoided this."

"No we couldn't have. Time doesn't work like that Tia." I said standing back up. On the other side of the inside of the locket was a clock. "For example. Kay just died but now she's having a better life married to my brother. If I died then nothing would happen."

"But how does that work?"

"I don't know how to explain it. So I just won't. Dancing Blade mention a master before he killed her."

"He's working for someone?"

"That's what I heard."

"Are you sure your okay?" asked Pinkie Pie. "Your awfully calm even though Kay just died and got sent to a better life without you."

"Thanks Pinkie. Thanks a lot. I'm going for a walk. I need to clear my head. Cry some more. Get drunk." I put out my smoke and walked down the road. "Be back for dinner!"

2 minutes later

So that's it? I'm just going to think in my head now?

'I'm sorry.' said a voice in my head. 'I know you want to die but it was my choice.'

'Kay?' I asked her.

'What's left of me. Listen Dustin. I'm so sorry that I did this to you. Now out of all times to boot. How long were we together? 5 years?'

'Yeah sweetie. I saw your new life. Your going to love it so much more than this one.'

'Oh really?'

'Yes really.'

'Then thanks for everything. I love you. I have always loved yooouuu...' The voice disappeared and I was left to think to myself. So now love is gone. I will just be forced to treat this like any other fall.

"OH..." it started raining. "That's just lovely." I held the locket in my hoof. "All I have is you. Now I'm treating inanimate objects like people. Fantastic!"

3 hours later

I made my way home. I was soaking wet. I had a bruise on my chest. My vest was tattered so I threw it away. At least I have Kay's Locket. It feels warm close to my chest. That's always a weird sign that it has too much sentimental value. I opened the door to see the kids crying and everyone quiet.

"Yes?" I asked them. "I'm fine if your all wandering."

"So no wedding?" asked Silver Sage before covering her mouth and staring at me. I walked over to her and put my hoof on her head comforting the child.

"No Sage. Their won't be a wedding for me." I looked at Static and mouthed 'What did you tell them?' He looked at me and mouthed. 'I said she had to leave and wont ever come back.' I nodded and looked at the kids. "You see kids. Kay had to go and visit family. They don't want her coming back here because she needs to go and *murmer*" I gave them a smile.

"I know when somepony dies." said Terra. "She's gone isn't she?" I closed my mouth and looked around me taking in a deep breath.

"She's gone." I felt him give me a hug. Then everyone else came in for a hug.

"Hey Mr. Shadow." said Surprise. "I read in a story that every hero loses someone important and that makes him stronger. Will you get stronger?"

"Your damn right kid! I'm going to find this 'Master' and teach him what it's like to fuck with us. Human style! Twilight sound the battle cry!"

"What are you talking about?" I went outside. As soon as I did it stopped raining.

"This man had a plan. You see he wanted Tia and Luna out of the picture to start his dark empire. Their is only one person who wanted the princesses dead." They all looked at me and I pointed to the Griffon Mountain. "Bloodmane! He's the bastard responsible. Tomaro I will kill him then I will come back here and have some fun with my friends because you guys are all I have left." The moon pierced the clouds and shinned on me. I took in it's warmth and held my hoof up.

"What is it?" asked Static.

"I learned I can use magic while not being a unicorn. Watch!" I clapped my hooves together and turned invisible. Then when I turned back I jumped into a shadow and came out a shadow on the other side of the street. "I can also teleport to any shadow in the world!"

"But how?! That's not possible!" yelled Twilight.

"Because Twilight when you're as dumb as me then anything is possible! Tomaro I shall save the land again. And this time no more ponies will die."
