I teleported to Fluttershy's cottage along with all the others except the princesses.

"Fluttershy." I said knocking on her door.

"Oh hello Bass."

"Meh... Just use Dustin."

"Alright. How are you doing?"

"Doing good Shy. I heard that you were scared of me and that's why you didn't come to the castle."

"Oh no. I'm not scared of you. I was busy taking care of my animals." I turned and gave RD a angry stare. She slowly walked behind Applejack and lowered her head.

"Okay then. Bye."

"Wait. I need your help."
[Is Fluttershy asking us for help?]
~That's good right?~
{No. That's... never happened before.}

"What do you need?"

"I have a ram problem."

20 minutes later

I stood outside the gate to Shy's garden. Inside was a ram causing trouble. Niko had this idea that we could calm it down with music.

"How do I look?" I asked him. I was wearing one of those marching band outfits.

"Fine. Just get in there. You too David."

"Your sure this will work?" asked David.

"Yeah!" All the ladies sat down and watched. I climbed over first and Niko handed me a tuba. The ram got up and confronted me. It didn't attack but it did stare at me.

"Uh... He's giving me too much attention."

"Play the tuba!" yelled Niko. I started to blow on the instrument and the ram well... rammed it. He left this huge fucking dent!
<Oh my god! It's the ram from hell!>
{It's the Devil!}

"David!" I yelled. He tried to climb over but he stopped climbing and watched. The ram hit me in the back leg making me drop the tuba. "Ow bitch!" He rammed me in the arm. "Ah!" When I was turning he used this opportunity to ram me in my jewels.

"I'm coming!" said David trying to get over the fence. He started playing random notes on the trumpet and the ram continued attacking me.

"Play!" I yelled at him.
~Maybe we should be nice to the goat.~
[Are you kidding?]
<He's looking at us like 'Man, are these guys stupid?'>
{Motherfucker!}

"Applejack lasso!" I yelled at her. I held down the ram and she hogtied it. "Oh man... oh god... Niko... I honest to god hate you right now."

"That was fucking hilarious!"

"Where did you get that idea?" asked David.

"Jackass 3!"

"Your an asshole..." I had to crawl. "Oh he got me good..."

"Need some help?"

"Yes please." David bent over and helped me up. He had to walk me to the fence.

"You okay?" asked Vinyl.

"What do you think?"

"Your gonna walk it off?"

"Yeah." I had to limp. "Oh god... ow... ow..."

Iron's POV

I was flying outside of Break's jail cell. She was crying about something so I wanted to get the info out of her.

"Break... tell me what's wrong sweetie."

"They made me kill Night." She continued silently crying. "They put me in that stupid arena and forced me to."

"I'm so sorry."

"We were about to walk away when Dustin asked the announcer to make us fight again."

"He's here?"

"Was. Just got released."

"Well I'm gonna have some fun with that chuckle-fuck."

Dustin's POV

Well let's see... I got beaten up by a ram. Oh I got a phone! That's always good.
[Yay! Technology.]
<Actually I think Celestia wants to keep an eye on us.>
{Ah... that's sounds about right.}

Than this old pony walked in front of me wearing a brown trench coat. She stood up on two legs and flashed me.

{Holy Christ!}
[That's just... wrong...]

I turned my head to the left when I saw a male getting a blowjob. Aw... in public?

*Ring Ring*
"That's weird... didn't give anyone my number yet." I picked it up and placed it to my ear. "Hello?"

"Hello Dustin."

"Ah Cold Iron. How's it been?"

"Oh you know. Shitty."

"Glad to hear. What do you want?"

"Well since you made my girl kill her friend I'm going to hurt your friend. Just remember me when you see your friend scattered on the pavement."

"Wait wait! What did I-*beep beep beep* Dammit!"
[Let's go find out what happened.]
{Eden. Your the sneaky one. If we merge do I get your bat wings?}
~We should. Try it.~

I fused our soul wavelengths together and had long purple hair that was on fire.

"Huh. That's pretty cool." I still had my horn and I looked back to see two large bat wings. "Yes!" I started flying and looking around. I didn't know what Iron was talking about then I saw him flying faster than Rainbow dragging someone behind him with a chain.

"Dustin!" yelled Niko from below. "He's got David!"

"What?!" I looked closely to see the poor guy being killed. "Shit!" I took of flying after him. "Iron stop this now!"

"Like this?" he asked slamming David into the wall of a building. "Oops."
[Come on!]
~I'm... trying...~
<Don't hurt yourself. Just give Dustin control.>
{And quickly too.}

I speed up and caught Iron by the tail. I made him drop David and then I threw him into the ground.

"Cheap move attacking David with his guard down."

"Shut up!"

"Is that all you say?" He started charging at me. "Uh oh."

"Ah... Nightmare. How could you betray us?!"

~I didn't! I was never Nightmare! She's still on the moon you meanie.~
"That's my girl."

"You shall both die!"

"WAIT wait wait... you motherfucker..."

"Don't sing."

"Pooper." He went to charge me with two swords. Time to summon my guitar. "Bring it... on? Why is this a sword?" I asked myself looking at the short sword with the gold handle. Iron brought down one sword and I blocked it cutting his sword in half. "Cool..."

"What the hell is that?"

"This is my soul weapon. I shall dub thee... Excalibur!"
[Are you calling us a legendary weapon?]
{...Yes?}
[...I love you.]
<Hey... before we go there let's share some love with David.>
{Shit that's right.}

I looked down to see the bloodied unicorn.

"You okay?"

"Yeah..." He put his hoof out like a thumbs up. "Never better."

"Good. I want you to watch this."

"Watch what?" asked Iron. I grabbed him and did a pile driver slamming him into the fire hydrant. "Ah! Fucker!"

"Hahahaha... Oh... run." I grabbed David and started running.

"Why run when you can fly?"

"Shut up David I'm trying!" I started flapping my wings and going higher. "See? What are you worried about?"

"That!" he said pointing at Iron.

"Oh... yeah... that's a problem. Hey Niko catch!" I yelled at the red pony. I dropped David so Niko would fly up and catch him. Even though he did I have never heard someone squeal like David did. It was like he though he was actually going to die. "Hahaha!"

"It's not funny!" he cried.

"Voice crack."
[Oh that's rich.]
<We need to start carrying a recorder.>
~Guys! Iron at 7 o'clock!~

I quickly turned and was rammed by Iron. He took me all the way to the Everfree forest.

"That does it. I'm going to kill you where you stand for killing Night."

"What? But I did nothing. I only watched as Break killed her lover."

"She loves me!"

"No. Not what I saw."

"Shut up!"

"Seriously say something else." He looked furious. He charged at me while summoning a spear. I stepped to the left and dodged it. "Come on. Hey I never asked but... what's your human name?"

"What's it matter to you?"

"If I do kill you I want to know your real name."

"Anthony."

"Alright Anthony. Please tell me whats the reason you keep fighting?"

"I fight for myself!"

"And what about everyone else? You've spent the past... what 5 years trying to kill David?"

"Yeah and I have my reasons!"

"He didn't kill your brother."

"Forget Ben! David's the reason I'm here!"

"Explain."

"He's the idiot that created this world and got me stuck in it."

"Hehehe... Hey Anthony. I'm the idiot that created this world. And if you want back don't you know that you have to die?"

"What?"

"Yep. Turns out David was just being friendly and you turned your back on him."

"I will kill you!"

"Here we go again."

"Dark Steel!"

{Guys I have an idea. Let's combine Dual Harmony with Dark Solo.}
[Dark Solo?]
{Eden.}
[OH... well it's a long shot.]
<Fuck it. Let's give it a try.>
~We can do it.~

The other two fused with my soul forming our new form. I felt the same but had flowing black fire for hair and my bat wings were on fire.

"Sweet..."

"I don't care how much you change! Summon your weapon and face me!" The sword changes with my form now. I can't give it a command but I can sure as fuck change it. The sword was now a large two-handed sword. I mean large like... Darksiders large.

"Try it."

"RAAAGGHH!" He tried his lame charge again. It seemed like he was moving in slow-motion. He was! I mean that or I was super fast. I stepped right and punched him in the throat.

"Get up." I commanded him. He instantly got up and summoned an axe. I blocked with my sword and twisted it around cutting his back open. His armor didn't protect him worth a damn and he's in Dark Steel mode.

"Damn you."

"Get up." He got back up on his feet and put his hooves up for a fist fight. Oh... doesn't he know? I'm best with my fist than anything... or... hooves... No matter! He went for a right thrust but I knocked his hoof down giving me clear shots to his neck. I gave him 3 quick punches and kicked him back. He had to stop and breath for a minute.

"I must kill you!"

"Get up."

"If not you than that pretty little Vinyl you love so much." He said while running at me. I dodge again but this time I stomped him on his back leg breaking it instantly. "Gah!" he fell down. "Oh god... I can see the bone..."

"What was that?" I asked him. I grabbed him by the hair.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! Don't kill me!"

"Sorry Anthony. Your begging to the choir here. David's the forgiving one. I'm not the same."

"Oh god..." I kicked him across the face and pushed him onto his back.

"But no one fucks with my woman!" I turned back to my normal form and picked up the short sword. "I know you can make weapons but can you regrow limbs?"

"You wouldn't dare!" he demanded. I twisted and turned the sword in my hoof.

"Don't you know who I am?"

"Your Dustin."

"I'm the Shadow. From the future world!"

"You mean your the one who..."

"The one who's stopped Nightmare before and her assassins. Your in deep trouble boy." I stopped twisting the sword and held it still. "So... I guess it's been fun fighting you for the past... meh... few months. But David is dying and I'm tired so..." I rammed the sword into his heart.

"Gahck... gah... uh..."

"...Goodbye." I pulled it out and quickly brought it past his throat slitting it.
{What to do what to do.}
<We hid the body!>
{Ah brilliant! Where?}

All 4 of us stopped and looked at the hydra feeding pit. There were tons of hungry babies in their. Perfect!

"Alright... Jeez..." I started dragging the body towards it. "Oh Anthony what have you been eating?"

"Dustin what did you do!" yelled David. I turned to see the bandaged pony.

"Oh hey... yeah I was just wrapping up some things."

"You killed him? He's really dead? Like legit?"

"I hope so... Erg... in either case I'm dumping him in their..." I motioned for the pit with my eyes. "Wanna give me a hoof?"

"Sure." We both picked him up and threw him into the pit. The hydra's dug into him like the alligators from the bridge scene of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. "I should have stopped him earlier."

"Aw... don't say that. Now he's gone and you have two potential wives who are sisters! That's like... double the family benefits."

"Don't tease me."

"Well honestly I just need one. And If I do two I usually don't have them related. I'm not calling you bad I'm just saying everyone has their own style."

"What do I tell them?"

"That you heroically saved the day and killed Anthony. There. Done."

"Okay are you still mad about the hero thing? And you know his name?"

"Yeah. I asked him before killing him."

"Right..."

"I know you didn't kill Ben."

"I know. But this is my burden."

"And even though it's gone it never leaves. I know."

"Right right. Hehehe..."

"It is pretty funny isn't it?" We both laid back and looked at the stars. "Hey Luna did a good job with the stars tonight."

"Yeah she did."

"And your fucking that. Come on David. Admit your having a good life."

"I am. And I owe it to you."

"That's the spirit!" I got up. "Come on Hindsight the Hero! Let's get you home." I turned to the Dark Solo form and picked him up. "What do you say?"

"Onward!" I took off flying. All the world seemed to breath a sigh of relief. I just did God a favor killing that maniac.

"DUSTIN!" yelled a angry voice behind me.

"Motherfucker..." I turned to see Iron. He was glowing red and was literally on fire. "MOTHERFUCKER! Hold on David!" I flipped him off my back and into my arms going straight up.

"What are you doing? We'll freeze to death!" yelled David.

"No... Well... maybe... but I'm going to cool him off."
[Why not just piss out the fire?]
"Well I can't drop David and piss now can I?"
<You can.> David looked at Alpha with a look of pure fright. <Just saying.>
"Sorry David." I dropped him.

"You asshole!" He screamed falling to the earth. That didn't stop Anthony one bit.

"Still back there hot shot?"

"I will murder you!" I stopped flying and watched as he zoomed passed me. He kept on going until the fire stopped and he went blue.

"Just a heads up. The atmosphere is cold. You should bring a jacket." I flew up and caught him. When I did I threw him back up. He came down a pure ice pony. "Ah finally dead." I knocked on his eye and the now frozen ball shattered like glass. "Eh..."
~Um... Damsel in distress?~
{What? Oh yeah...}

I flew down and caught David with my back.

"You are a jerk."

"Sorry. Lookie look. Anthony's dead." I placed Iron's head between my hooves and smashed it. "See? Now you can't repair your brain."

We both watched as the ice pony fell down to the ground. Upon impact he shattered.

"Yay! We did it! OH oh We did it!" we started dancing.

"Whoa!" David almost fell but I caught him.

"Hey! Watch it! I will go back up and kill us."

"Just take me home."

"Aye aye captain." I began flying. I looked back to see the streak of purple fire behind me. Huh. I'm the Human Torch!

A good... hour later...

"What in the world happened to you?!" cried Celestia touching David. "Your all bandaged and injured! Why!"

"Iron attacked. Again."

"Where is he?" demanded Luna. "I shall give him a lesson for kidnapping me."

"You see..." I wanted to say the truth but something wouldn't let me do it. "David killed him."

"What?" they all asked in surprise.

"Yeah. Threw him into a volcano and this gas burst sent him high into the atmosphere freezing him and when he came down BOOM he shattered."

"Wow. Your amazing!" they both said comforting the unicorn. I left the royal bedroom and went to the bathroom.

<Well done. Well done indeed.>
{What?}
<Your a true hero. You give the credit to someone else.>
~They will write minstrels about you.~
[There once was a great man named Dustin, who was a sight to see.]
<He stopped the great Cold Iron, while we told him to pee.>
{BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! OH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!}
<Yeah... was it that good?>
{HAHAHAHAHAHA!}
[Okay it's not that funny...]
{...hahahaha....}
~Are you choking? Breath damn it.~

I left the bathroom happily.

"Hey look on the bright side... Fluttershy isn't scared of us."
[Hey look on the bright side... we killed David's arch enemy!]
<Hey look on the bright side... I still don't care about him.>
~Hey look on the dark side... Vinyl's spending the night in Ponyville.~
{...}
[...]
<...That's not good at all.>
{Not at all man!}
[We're too tired to go back...]

"Oh bed... how I missed you!" I threw myself upon the comfy mattress. Before I could sleep I decided to change my clothes. I looked at myself quickly seeing that my brown coat was blood stained and ripped to shreds. Aw... I like that coat. Oh well! Garbage! *sound of me stuffing it in the trash bin.* I took of my fancy vest and green tunic. The tunic is starting to smell...

~Get it cleaned!~
{Never!}
[Honestly... why would we clean it if we're wearing it?]
<That's gross. I'm sticking with Eden.>

I put on my pj's and got back in bed.

"*yawn* Goodnight- OW EDEN!" She grabbed me by the ear and made me go to the bathroom.
~Brush your teeth~
{Okay okay!}
[Pussywhi- *smack* Owowow... OW!]
<I got nothing to say.>
~Remember how you wanted some alone time with me?~
<Uh huh.>
~You got it.~
{Aw their fucking in my brain!}
[No pun intended right?]
{This isn't the time for jokes!}
[Really? THIS isn't the time?]
{No! What's wrong with that?}
[Oh so many things...]
