Chapter 9: The Diabolic Esper


(Ponyville in an open field 2 hours later)

       Amy and Rainbow dash were busy sparring with each other as requested from RD. Amy threw a left hook at Rainbow dash, but she dodge the hook as she counter with a jab. The jab made contact making Amy back off a bit. "HA! Got you this time Amy." She said with smug little smile on her face. Amy shook her head as she took her fighting stance with her right hand on fire. "You only got lucky that time RD, now I'm gonna get serious!" Amy fired a fireball at Rainbow Dash."Try that on for size!" She said with a victorious grin on her face. As the fireball was coming towards her, Rainbow Dash shot up into the air dodging the ball of fire. As she was airborn she kick her leg downwards causing a  wind shape slash to head towards Amy.

Amy pulled out her sword and counter it with one of her skills. "Wall of Prominence!" A wall of flames appeared in front of her as the wind slash attack disappeared, along with the wall of fire.

"Ok I thing that enough sparring for know at least." Rainbow Dash nodded in agreement, and hovered down to the ground next to her.

"Ok I have to say your pretty cool to hangout with, but not as cool as me of course."

"Yeah yeah I get no one is as cool as Rainbow Dash, so care to tell me why you ask me for a sparring match?" Asked Amy.

"Oh that....well you see I went to los pegasus a few days ago to pick up a copy of the new Daring Do book that came out. When I went into the store to go get it the shopkeeper told me somepony else got the last copy."

"Ouch tough break marefriend." Amy patted her on the shoulder for comfort. "I been there before....alot actually."

Rainbow dash rose up in a fit of anger "When I find that pony that took my book there will be hell to pay!"

[On the train]

"Something wrong Leo?" Asked Nicko.

"I don't know why, but something telling I'm gonna get hit in the face by someone." Said Leo.

[Back to ponyville]

"And people say I have anger issues." Amy said sarcastically.

"Hey I don't have anger issues, anger has issues with me."

"Oh really? Then why were you taking anger management classes then?"

".....You know you could be a bit more nicer you know?" Said Rainbow Dash with a not so very amused look on her face.

"Fuck you I can be nice when I wanna."

"Really?" Said Rainbow Dash raising an eye brow. "Remember what you did with Prince Blueblood?"

(Flash back)

"Hey Celestia you know those neighponese nobles you were talking to? I think I struck a deal with them."

"You don't speak neighponese." Said Celestia.

"Yeah I think I might of sold Blueblood to them? That might of happened."

Celestia looked outside to see a failing white unicorn with blonde hair screaming for help. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? UN HAND YOU PEASENTS, SOMEPONY HELP ME? AUNT CELESTIA, UNCLE ARTEMIS HELP!!!!" Celestia looked at Amy with deadpanned/angry look on her face.

"I think we like 5 crats of sushi so that's worth it right?"

(End of flashback)

"......I said when I wanna didn't I?"

"I won't lie that was kinda funny, but you could be a little bit nice especially towards Celestia."

"Hey unless she starts being nice towards me or my maid, then expect to see me be a jerk towards her."

"Yeah yeah that's what you said about Blueblood, and look how that turn out?"

"Oh whatever the guy was a prick." Amy got up from dusting off anything that might be on her. "Now how about we head over to Sugarcube Corner for something to drink?"

"Sure why not, you are paying for it right?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"With the money I got from Artemus, I'm pretty set for the next few months or so. Now let's go."

Just as the duo were about to head off to Sugarcube Corner, they heard a weird sound coming from behind. "You hear something RD?" Asked Amy. Rainbow nodded yes in agreement. "Yeah it sounds like somepony broke a mirror or something?" As the duo looked behind them they could see a huge crack in the air right in front of them as they turned. The crack gotten bigger and bigger until it shattered revealing a purpleish dark void.

"That can't be good." Said Rainbow dash to Amy.

"5 bits says I'm gonna be blamed for this." Said Amy.

"Oh please like you wouldn't be blamed for the weird shit happening in this town." Said the mysterious voice.

Both girls looked at the void to see a boys head appear right out of the void.

"Cause let's face it you can be very destructive when you arn't even trying Amy Anderson."

"W-Who the hay are pal?" Said Rainbow Dash getting into her fighting stance.

"Oh were are my manner." Said the man as he climbed out of the void.  "My name is Eric der Vogelweid it's a pleasure to meet some fine young ladies such as yourselves." He siad as he climbed out of the void and closed it. The boy was wearing a dark purple suit with a mix of purple and lavender on some parts of the suit with a gem on his chest, his eyes were jet black but his pupils were magenta purple, and his hair was the same color as Molly's.

"I must say your quite an interesting person Amy, I never thought you be able to beat let alone stand against my clone copy of Chrysalis."

"Wait a minute what are you talking about?" Asked Amy.

"Oh right forgot that you not the brightest one at times. You know that attack on ponyville three months ago?"

"You mean where I killed Chrysalis with the help RD, Yuri, and my sister Molly?" Eric nodded yes. "Then yeah I remember."

"Well spoiler alert I'm the one behind the attack." He said with devilish smile on his face.

"Wait that was you who attacked are home?" Asked Rainbow dash.

"Pretty much yeah, originally I was hoping to use that to get Celestia to come to ponyville to get my revenge on her."

"Whoa wait a minute why would you want to get revenge on her. I mean sure she can be a dick at time, but what did she do to you to want to seek revenge on her?"

"Figures she would keep her mistakes a secret." *Sigh* "Then again she pretty much old and all so I'll make this short." He pulled up a screen show what happen 1000 years ago. "You along with your other friends arn't the only humans that came to this world called Equestia. I was the first one to come here due to the shady man that sold me this outfit. At first when I came here I thought I could get help from the Princess Celestia thanks to the help of her subject telling me how great and powerful she is. But of course when I was able to get a meeting with her, lets just say she can be very prejudice when it come to appearances. She thought I was  some kind of monster that was attacking her subjects, and like any other ruler that I read in my history classes she pretty dispose of me by turning me to stone." Eric ended the show with a snap of his fingers.

"Damn that kinda cold and harsh....glad I didn't landed here first." Eric looked at her with a deadpanned look on his face. "What? I'm just say that it suck to be you pal."

"......I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that......Anyway that bitch turn me to stone for no good reason and for that I will seek revenge upon her."

"Hm interesting, and how will you do that?" Asked Amy.

"Originally I was hoping to lure her out with a clone I made of Chrysalis, but seeing how you pretty much killed it I have to think of a new plan."

"Wait a minute that was a clone!?" Both Amy and RD said.

"Pretty much yeah I'm surprise you were able to kill it, thou then again clones can't replace the real one."

"Great looks like I'm gonna have to fight the real one later on down the line." She thought to herself. "Mind if I ask you a question buddy?"

"Ask away lady."

"What will you do after you get your revenge?"

"Simple once I beat Celestia I'm gonna kill her in front of her loyal subject, and let Chrysalis rule the kingdom."

Amy mentally sighed hoping that his plan was to just beat Celestia and then leave. "I was afraid you would say that." Amy summoned her sword. " I was hoping you would just beat the hell out of her but I guess We're gonna have to stop you."

"We? You think you and that gay rainbow color freak with wings can stop me?"

"HEY! Who are you calling a freak you freak!?" She yelled getting ready to charge at him, until Amy stretched her arm out in front of her.

"If we were able to hold up against your "clone", then I'm sure we can handle a idiot like you."

"Oh arn't we the confident one, ok let's see how well you two are? But first let's take this some where a little bit more interesting." Eric opened up the void that he came out of and suck in both Amy and Rainbow along with himself. A few seconds later all three reappear on top of a moving train, Rainbow dash and Amy backed away from Eric the moment they saw they were close to him.

"I think this would be an interesting location for are little sparring match don't you think?" he asked.

"Whatever floats your boat dude." Said Amy getting into her fighting stance along with Rainbow dash. "Now get ready for an ass beating of a life time."

(music starts)

"Oh I think the one who's ass is gonna be beaten is yours." He said while charging up his hands, Amy saw this an warned Rainbow Dash to fly up. "VOID IMPACT!!" Eric generated a mini subspace that was suppose to hit them both, but hit Amy instead. With quick thinking and fast reflexes Amy activated Stoic-strong at the last second reduceing the damage she was dealt with. "Oh not bad your quicker then Chrysalis's changelings when it come to defending."

"Yeah well I'm not a changeling now am I?" She said while charging at him with her sword set on fire. "BURN! SWORD OF RED LOTUS!" Amy swung her sword at him, but was block by on of his dynamo drones. "Really, that's how strong you are? Shame I thought I had to use more then just one to block your attack?" Amy lifted her sword again and brought it down on him again hoping it would hit him, but it was blocked again by his dynamo drone. "Now if you thing that would work a second time?" Rainbow Dash came from behind with a lightning charged kick, but was grabbed my Eric's hand. "Oh a sneak attack nice but useless." Eric kicked Amy sending her towards the end of one of the carts they were standing on. Rainbow dash was about to kick him in the face with her other free hoof, but was slammed onto the metal roof of the cart then sent flying towards Amy. Amy pulled herself up to see a flying Rainbow Dash heading towards her, She got into a catching stance and caught RD while being pushed back by the force she was thrown at a bit. "You ok?" Amy asked, Rainbow dash nodded yes. "Yeah I'm alright." She pulled herself up from Amy's arm.

  Amy looked at Rainbow Dash nodding at her like she had a plan. Rainbow Dash in return nodded as well as she moved behind her, and flew her up into the air. Eric followed in pursuit as he summoned six vibrating atoms out of thin air surrounding him. "Let's see how well you two work together in air combat." He said as he snapped his finger. "MAXIMUM STRIKE!!!" All six orbs came coming at them, Amy looked at Rainbow and told her to drop her. At first she was reluctant to do so, until she gave her a "don't worry" look on her face. With that Rainbow Dash let go of Amy and start to follow her downwards as well to make sure she doesn't fall off the trains path. As Amy was falling towards the path of the six orbs her right hand started to catch on fire, as she it did she aim her hand at the six orb.

"Eat this FLAME BURST!!!" She yelled firing 6 small but powerful balls of fire at Eric's orbs causing them to explode on impact. As the smoke cleared Rainbow Dash came in at the last second to catch Amy, before she was about to fall off the train. "Hm not bad but I bet you can't take out a rapid shot of my orbs?" Said Eric as he summoned t6 more orbs again and fired at the duo.

"Dammit! Rainbow Dash hit & run time NOW!" Yelled Amy, Rainbow Dash nodded as she flew dodge the six orbs that were coming at the duo. As they dodge the orbs coming at them Amy fire two fireballs that the two orbs that went passed them, only to have four more appear. "The fuck?" Said Amy wondering why there were four medium orbs instead of there being nothing.

"Oh forgot to tell yeah something." He said with a smug little grin on his face. "This time when you attack on of them they split into more smaller orbs, which still pack on hell of a punch when you get hit by them."

"Isn't that great it's just like dodge ball.....only that you'll die if you get hit HAHAHAHAHA!"

"Great Chrysalis all over again." Amy mentally said to herself.

"Now what are we gonna do?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"Simple we keep hitting them until there's nothing left." Amy replied as she fired three more shots at the other orbs. As the two kept on dodging and attacking the orbs the Diabolic Esper was beginning to get a little annoyed, at how they haven't got hit by any of the orbs. "This is gonna take almost all day if I don't do something to stop this." He said thinking of an idea on how to stop them from moving. Then an idea hit him as he snapped his fingers. "I think this gone on long enough?" He said as he fired his dynamos the Amy and Rainbow dashes path. "Try this VOID FIELD!!!"

Both Amy and RD were frozen in place in mid air. "W-What the hell? Why can't we m-move?" Asked Amy.

"Oh simple really Void field periodically restrain you both in the rising developed of space, which means you won't be able to move while those orbs come in and hit you two." Just as he finish Amy and Dash look all around them to see a 45 orbs surrounding them. "Now let's see the sky light up." He snapped his finger as all 45 orbs bombarded at the two frozen figures in the air. Eric teleported back to the roof of the train waiting for Amy and Rainbow Dash to fall near him, and without a moment or two they both fell from the sky onto the roof with a loud thud sound. Eric looked down on the roof to see two staggering, bruised, scared, smoke covered particle bodies pulling themselves up from the floor.

"Oh your still up? I thought that would knock you both out at least." Said Eric as her readies himself for an on coming attack from one of the duo.

     "Yeah well to bad cause it didn't." Said Rainbow dash charging at him along with Amy. Rainbow dash came in with a left hook, but was counter with a jab to the face. Amy came in from the side with a side kick, but was block block by a dynamo drone. Dammit those stupid dynamo drones of his." She said to herself as she was pushed back a bit, and was counter with a punch to the left cheek, a kick to the gut, and a blast of neutron energy to the face. "OH SH-!" She was unable to finish her what she was about to say, as the blast sent her almost falling off the train and into unconsciousness. Rainbow recovered from the jab only to get  Eric's face in front of her's. "So how does it feel to get you flank handed to you on a silver plate Rainbow Smack?" Rainbow dash hi-jump kick him but was easily avoid by him teleporting at the last second, she looked around the train to see where he was. "Where the buck are you jerk? There's no where for you to hide or run off to."

   "For a normal person yes but your forgetting that I can control space." Eric fist made contact with Rainbow's left cheek. "See I'm still here just in subspace where you can't see or hit me." He said while punching RD in the right cheek. Rainbow dash tried to punch where he punch her, but the attack missed and was greeted with a kick to her back sending her tripping forwards a bit. "Show yourself you coward!" She yelled. Eric appeared right behind her with his left hand glowing. "SPACE CRACK!!!" With no time to evade or block Rainbow dash was hit from behind by a barrage of space force sending her flying towards the roof of the train cart they we're on. "Ha the fastest pony in all of Equestria huh?" He said sarcastically while walking towards the down Rainbow dash cracking his knuckles. Rainbow Dash staggered to her feet when she was greeted by another Space crack to the ribs. "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yelled Rainbow Dash as she was sent flying, only to be caught in a gravitational field then sent slamming down on the metal roof. Eric brought up the beaten up cyan pegasus to assess the damage he done upon her.

Amy was starting to regain consciousness as she saw Rainbow dash beat up body hit the ground then brought up. The moment she saw that she felt a surge of energy flowing threw her, as a red destructive aura in gulp her entire body. With a blink of an eye Amy vanished into mid air as she was heading towards Eric.

   Eric was standing in front of Rainbow dash who was still knocked out. "It would be a shame to kill a girl while she's unconscious......but then again I don't want to be turn to stone again so." He pulled her with his gravitational powers and point all his dynamos at her neck. "Any last words before I kill Rainbow Bash?......Oh wait you can't cause your knocked out." Before Eric could deliver the final blow he felt a burning sensation in his chest. He looked down at his chest to see Amy's claymore stuck in his chest. "She may not but I do." With that she pulled the sword from the Diabolic Espers chest making Eric dropping Rainbow dash.

  With a blink of an eye Amy disappeared in front of him. "What the, where did she go?" Suddenly he felt a burning sensation on his chest again, as he looked he notice a burning scar on his chest where the hole Amy let was at. "When did I have that on my-" Before he could finish his thoughts he felt another burning sensation, this time on his back. As time start to slow down he saw Amy in front of him and fired a neutron power shot at her, but the attack only hit an after image. This process continued for eight to nine slashes until she came in for the final blow. "Now feel hells fire BLAZING DANCE!!!" With that Amy charged straight through Eric with her sword setting him on fire. As Amy turn to see the boy she set on fire, she saw that his body was starting to turn to ashes. And with loud thump his body fell onto the roof of the cart and disappeared. *sigh* "Kid....what Celestia did to you was wrong and I'm sorry for that, but when you attack my friends and their homes cause of what  solar bitch did to you." She said as the flames on her sword died out. "Then I have no pity or mercy for you."

(End of song)

  As the Knight of Annihilation aura disappeared, Amy rushed towards Rainbow dash to see if she's alright. "Dammit three months of training and we almost get are ass handed to us." Amy pulled out two full recovery bottles out of her book bag one for Rainbow dash, and the other was for herself. "Crap, not good she to beat up to even swallow the potion down. Come on Amy think there has to be a way to........oh." Amy's face turn red the moment she thought of a way to to give Rainbow dash the potion. "I-I can't do that to her. I mean maybe there's a funnel in this bag or something?" Just as she was looking through her bag she found a note inside.

Dear Amy Anderson

          Sorry forgot to give you a funnel in case you needed it for something medical related needs, like giving Rainbow dash a potion without having to come in lip on lip contact. That would be rude of me, but if you need it for medical reason then suck it up and just kiss her already.

            From your bestest friend, E

    "..............I'm so gonna punch this E pony in the face when I meet him or her." After finish reading the letter Amy open one of the bottle potion, and started to pour it into her mouth. She then pulled Rainbow up from the ground into her arms like a romantic couple would do, and opened her mouth. "Man it suck being the hero at time." With that she pressed her lips on to Rainbows and began to force the blue liquid down her throat. A light blue aura in gulp Rainbow Dashes entire body. "Wow she really does taste like skittles." As the light blue aura faded Rainbow dash open her eyes to see Amy in her face. The moment she saw her and realize what was going on her face turn the same color as Amy's face is. Their mouths separated with saliva still connecting their mouths, as Amy opened her eyes she could see a  strong color of red on Rainbow Dashes face. Everything went silent for a few seconds until Rainbow Dash spoke up.

"Um......What are you doing?" She asked

"W-well you see the moment I regain consciousness. I saw Eric about to decapitate your head, so like the hero I am. I rush towards him and stabbed him in the chest with my claymore."

"Ok but I still don't get what's going on with the whole you kissing me thing."

"Yes......about that.....you see you were pretty much beat up badly from one of his attacks." Amy's face began to turn red again. "And well seeing how you couldn't swallow down the potion by yourself."

".......No." Rainbow Dashes face lite as red as a tomato, when the sudden realization finally hit her.

"Yeah.......sorry." Said Amy while scratching the back of her head.

"Ok I have to say I didn't expect that sneak attack from behind."

The duo where taken by surprise by the mysterious voice that filled the air. "The hell I killed you and burned your body to ashes. How are you even still alive?"

"Fuck you that's how." He replied. "Anyway I'm by far impressed by how you were able to unlock your chivalry system, must be because of that Rainbow mane pegasus you care so much about." He said teasing the two.

"Fuck you asshole and show yourself!" Yelled Amy in a fit of anger and rage.

"Would but I think I'll play with you two later, but for the time being I would be more worry about the ponies on the train your on."

"What do you?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

"Well you see I need to make things interesting, so I let loose some criminals from Celestia's dungeon to attack the citizens on the train and stuff.

"Bastard!" She said firing up a fire ball in her hand but is disappeared in a few seconds. Eric appears above them both looking at them like they were nothing but bug the would step on without a care.

"Aw what's the matter low on mana? Well I'll say this much you got lucky when you struck me from behind, but that was only because I was focus on the pegasus. That is a mistake I will not make again the next time we meet.

"Where the buck do you think your going freak?" Said Rainbow Dash as she charge towards Eric, only to disappear in a nano second.

"Sorry got to run, I got a date with a 17 to 18 year old boy." With that he fades away into the void leaving a very pissed off pegasus, and a beat up blazing heart.
