An Unexpected Guest
Chapter 9: Chrysalis, Night Shade and Home.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThis power, this strength, this knowledge, it feels good to wield it. My Katana wants more Changeling blood, I want Chrysalis to be wiped out of the planet- no, I want her out of the universe!
'No!! Don't get power hungry!' I shouted in my head.
I took a deep breath and I look around my surroundings. I think I killed over 70-80 Changelings, I glance at my sword, it was dripping in green ooze. I sighed and grabbed a shirt from the shelf of the store and wiped it clean. Twilight was unsure of what I said to her. I have magic and these cutie marks on my chest, and wrists are proof enough. I believe the magic I am wielding are the three Princesses magic; they're Luna, Cadence and Celestia.
I sighed, "Do you have an explanation Twilight? I think there is magic running in my veins and I think that their the three Princesses magic."
Twilight walked up to me; her horn started to glow and I was then scanned. It felt like I was a product going through a cash register being scanned for what price I am. Twilight immediately stopped and had a serious look on her face.
"We will look at the problem at hand later. For now lets find Chrysalis." she informed.
I saluted, "YES ma'am!"
She giggled, "Now lets go!"
All of a sudden, Twilight and I were surrounded in a green aura. We blinked and poof! I look to my left and to my right; Twilight was nowhere to be found. I didn't panic, but I did get a bit anxious.
'Now you can release your anger!' It shouted in my head.
"Shut up." I whispered.
I closed my eyes and started to think. The deep emotion that I kept in my mind was my hatred, my agony, my loneliness, and all sad emotions formed into one being. It lived inside my head, wanting to release itself into the world. It wanted to cause pain to other people that I cared for, but I tried not to think about it and it would disappear. It worked several times and nothing would happen, but with the magic that I believe is in my body, I am in deep trouble.
I imagine a cage right in front of me; back then this being that's inside was small. It was not feeding on anything because back then, as a kid, I was carefree and no one judged me because I didn't know any better. Now jump through middle and high school; it fed what I kept inside my soul and heart. It fed on the brushed off names the bullies gave me, the suffering that I went through all by myself, the rage that I kept for jealousy, and loneliness. This being grew bigger like a white lie, but it filled the cage; causing the bars to slowly bend and creak. As it slowly seeped though the cage my spirit would start to break. It was all thanks to college the being shrunk, but it still wasn't enough.
'Time to release your feelings. Thrash it across and kill this bitch that represents your enemies.' it said.
I open my eyes to look at the being, it kept itself hidden in the shadows.
I smiled, 'Keep your dirty emotions away from me.'
'You can't hide the truth. Everyone is your enemy. This power that was given to you has fueled myself. When you release me, I will fill you with the emotion you kept all these years!' it shouted.
I closed my eyes again and it slowly faded away.
I open them and looked at my surroundings, it was still dark, but I felt another presence.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Strange, the entity that was seeping out is gone. You are really something being. I would love you to be part of my army." a familiar voice said.
I frowned and lifted my sword, "I was wondering when you would show up Queen Chrysalis."
The light turn on and my vision gets blurred for a second. When my eyes adjusted to the brightness, I was teleported to a store an saw a sign that said 'Macy's' it was covered in green goop. I turned my attention to the enemy; Chrysalis was just sitting there with her Changeling goons were guarding her. I look at the cocoons that were holding the SWAT team and I just shook my head.
"You just never learned your lesson when Twilight kicked your ass or how pure love wiped you out?" I boasted.
"Strange, you seem to know a lot about me." she said.
She seemed really calm about this, maybe it was her new nest that she was settled in.
"Some people do, but at the same time no one knows you."
I looked around and none of the goons attacked. I had know idea what she was planning, but Twilight came through my mind.
"Where's Twilight?" I demanded.
Chrysalis smirked, "I learned from my mistakes and I disposed of her using a forbidden spell."
"That's not true! Twilight would not have been taken down that easily!" I shouted.
"You bore me being. Let me just put you asleep and you'll wake up as one of us."
The Changelings moved aside as Chrysalis's horn flared to life. When it fired, I sifted to the left. I glared into her eyes and I felt my Katana getting thirsty.
'Let it begin.' it smirked
"Your now going to make this any easier are you?" she said.
I smirked, "You better believe it."
She yawned, "Changelings... ATTACK!"
I got to my stance and got myself ready. The goons surrounded me and I turned to my Katana and I noticed a pink, blue and yellow aura surrounded the sword. 'Well that's new.' I thought. Chrysalis's eyes widened when she saw this; when I glanced at her and smirked. I lifted my Katana and swung around me. I completely made a 360 and I looked at the goons. They were still standing, but when they moved their heads slid off their shoulders.
"W-what?" she stuttered.
I glanced at her again, "Where is Twilight?"
"SHE IS DEAD!" she shouted.
Her horned glowed making the cocoons open. The human version of a Changeling kind of looked terrifying. It had claws, holes in it's fore arms, legs and some on the head. Their eyes were the same and just for good measure, it had wings. The guns that they originally held were connected to their shoulders or their arms. There were a total of ten human like Changelings.
"You monster! Turning my own kind into your image! You are a sick son of a bitch!"
She snickered, "If these creatures look like this when they are turned, then I'll take over this world with my new spell!"
'New spell?' I thought.
"Now you DIE!" she shouted.
The humanoid Changelings jumped into action and one landed a punch on my stomach. I almost lost my breath, but I swung my sword to cut it's forearm. My sword for the first time clashed with the metal with its gun. I glance around me and the aura was gone; two more jumped towards me. I swung my sword, but I was grabbed from behind by a huge Changeling.
'I think you need my help.' it remarked.
There I was being held against my will. I was caught off guard with me being cocky in this fight. Five humanoids kept me down on my knees and when I looked up, Chrysalis was staring down at me.
"I'll give you this, being. You got what it takes to join my army and I sense something special in you. It was like three Alicorns touched your mind and soul to make you powerful. This is most interesting." she smirked.
"What did you do to Twilight? There is no way that she is dead." I said.
Her smile vanished and I was then smacked across the face with her hoof.
"Silence! If you want to know what happen to your mare friend, then I'll tell you! She is being converted into a shell so I can transport my mind and soul into hers!" she claimed.
"YOU BITCH!! YOU DON'T HAVE A SOUL!!!" I shouted.
'This is going to hurt.' it said.
I growled at her and she smacked me again.
"I will have you as the first subject!" Her horn glowed and it was a deep dark green aura, "Witness your death and transformation!"
Everything went into slow motion and my mind was dragged back to the cage. The being was taking human form, it was no longer a ball of raging emotion. I walked to the door and I stared at it's eyes. It's eyes were white and it death glared at me.
"Well are you going to let us die?" it said.
I sighed, "I will release you, but I have several conditions."
"Oh? Striking a deal aren't we? Lets hear it."
"You will kill Chrysalis, put the SWAT members to rest and save Twilight. This is an out and in situation. You aren't going to stay out there for long. If you do your job right, I'll reward you a name that is worth of you." I said.
"Hm... Interesting. Giving me a name would be the greatest thing ever... Now that I think about it, I was never given a name in the first place." he wondered.
"Do we have a deal?" I asked.
I lifted my hand and put it though the gaps of the cage. The white eyes were complimented by the showing of a smile of teeth. From the shadows, it grabbed my hand. It didn't take long for it to think about the deal. It would be glad that it would be finally released.
"Deal." it said.
The cage that held the being, dissolved into dust. Darkness filled the light grey room and consumed my mind, soul and my actions. The last thing I remembered is dodging Chrysalis's spell.
* * * * * * *
"I finished the mission." it said.
I woke up and immediately caged the being. The darkness was gone an the light grey room was back to normal. The being, who my height, shrunk into a kids height.
"What happen to you?" I ask.
"Damn, Chrysalis and her goons were stronger than I thought. I was able to put her head on a pike though. When I killed her, the Changelings and the humanoid ones immediately dashed towards her. I killed them all, but I wondered why they did that. Anyway I used too much emotion fuel and I am in this child form." it said in a childish voice.
"Huh. That is different. Is Twilight safe?" I asked.
He smirked, "She's fine, but I bet she is worried about you and how dangerous I am."
I sighed, "Well that's going to be a troublesome problem. I'm going to have to tell her about you."
I snapped my fingers and the grey room turned into a children play room. The cage was still visible on the walls, but the being was able to move around inside. I snapped my fingers and gave him an assortment of toys.
I walked to the door, "This will keep you occupied for now. Your name will now be Night Shade or Night for short."
"It's been a pleasure working for you... Again.... Sir Frank." Night said.
I closed the door and walked towards the light. 'Lets see what kind of damage Night caused.' I thought.
* * * * * * *
"Frank!" Twilight shouted.
I felt my eyes were groggy. My vision was blurred, my limbs felt numb, my torso was very warm and wet, and my head was throbbing. My throat was very dry, I needed water. I vision cleared and I look up at Twilight. She was fine and she was not dead, but she was crying.
"W-What happened?" I said.
She wiped her tears off, "Frank... The question I have to ask you what happened out there? The cocoon released me and you walked towards me. I felt overjoyed that you saved me, but I noticed that you weren't... You."
"Twilight... I'm sorry if I scared you, but I need to tell you the truth about me." I said putting my hand on her wet cheek.
"I was scared... You had a black aura surrounding your body, you had white eyes and that smile... It was like you were getting your satisfaction while you ripped apart a screaming Chrysalis with your bare hands." she quivered.
My emotions took over, my water gates opened and I started to sob. Why? I never wanted this... I never wanted a friend let alone Twilight, who I admired the most, to see any kind of violence that she saw.
I sniffed, "I guess I have to explain myself..." I put my hand over my face, "I'm sorry."
Streams of tears escaped from my eyes, mixing with the Changeling blood, humanoid blood and my blood. I sighed and told Twilight everything while I was crying. The bullying, the suffering, the loneliness and the sadness of my childhood. Twilight lye down beside me, comforting me, saying that everything would be alright. Then I told her about Night Shade; she listened to every word. She came to a conclusion that it was the magic who formed the entity in my head and it broke, like a dam, releasing all of the water into a raging stream that was relentless. I just nodded at her conclusion, but Twilight said something that perked my interests.
"Night Shade found a mirror and lead me to it. It's the same as the one from Equestria. I can use my magic and I can get back to my friends." she said.
"Can I ask you one thing though?" I asked.
She looked at me, "What is it?"
I took a deep breath, "Take me with you."
* * * * * *
After our little moment, Twilight taught me the teleportation spell. For some apparent reason I was able to learn it really fast. It was probably because another round of the SWAT Team was inside the mall. Shouting like idiots. I didn't want to get caught and neither did Twilight.
I wanted to get to my car first; I grabbed Twilight, held the mirror with my hand and in a flash we made it to the blue car. The mirror that I teleported with us, which looked liked the mirror from Rainbow Rocks, I asked why Night Shade lead her to it. She said that the 'power' that Night Shade was getting is in fact coming though there. I just agreed with it, I didn't want to mention Night Shade again, let alone use him again. It was night time and the cuts on my body were stinging, I think this last teleport to a house which was about 20 miles away will knock me out. I tightened my grip on Twilight, touched the mirror and my car and focused on home. In a flash, we were outside the house and I fell on to my knees.
"Frank!" Twilight shouted.
The last moment I saw was being enveloped in Twilight's purple magic.
