The Metal Condition
Chapter 37: The Wolf: I can't let go
Previous Chapter Next ChapterMetals POV
It has been two days since this fight began, it is still going and it's going nowhere. I had used what skills Marx had taught me and added the power of my Apocalypse Magic to seal this world in a field, a field that quickened the passage of time in this world. I didn't feel the time going by faster, that's not how it works. Time passes normally in here, but outside it things go by at a rapid pace.
I stare at the sun God with a burning rage, this world was now broken down, nothing but a black void with pieces of Equestria scattered around the place. This wasn't just the destruction of Equestria, it was the destruction of this dimensions reality as a whole. I feel weak, tired, I can tell Solaris feels the same way. We were too evenly matched, it was now a battle of endurance to see who would last longer in this fading reality.
How had my life come to this? Why was I even here? If I wasn't here then beings like Solaris, the Nightmare Fuel and that asshole Xram wouldn't even be here!
I guess there isn't really any use complaining, it's not going to help me win this. I can't help but think of what my life was like before Equestria, it may have only been a few months that I've been awake here, and I was asleep for a decade to add to that, anyone that was still back on earth will have moved on, forgotten.
I don't care anymore, most of them were meaningless to me, only a few really cared for me there. Damnit why can't I just let that go?!
I know what you're probably thinking. How the hell did a guy like me, who you know to crack jokes and do random shit, end up an emotional mess? Life. Life isn't fun and games, even when you're a game character in a land of fantasy. When you come face to face with a sun God and risk your very existence to keep your loved ones safe then you can say your life is extremely unforgiving and extremely hard, and I think I've earned that privilege if you can even call it that.
Luna and Dash, they're all I have left. Sure I have people like Cream and Gale, but really the thing that keeps me going is my mares. The only ones I love with all of my mechanical heart. Then there's Lisa...what to say about her? Why I'm so friendly towards her even though I've only known her a short while? I know exactly why, I can't deny why I care about her so much. I don't have feelings for her or anything like that, but...I guess you can actually say that.
I'm not about to take her away from Gale, I may be a douchebag but I'm not that bad. And I don't love her, but at the same time I do. But for different reasons.
She reminds me of someone I cared about...someone that went missing...someone I can never, ever forget. No matter how much I try, I can't get her out of my head. I've already lost two of the most important people in my life and I swear on my very God damn existence I will put my life on the line to protect people like Luna, Dash and Lisa.
The two people I've lost...they played vital roles in my life...they're the reason I became so antisocial back on earth when they were taken from me! The two most important people in my life just...just...gone!
I've searched the multiverse time and time again for any sign of their existence, but they never show up! Why!? Why don't they appear?!
Why do I have to suffer every time I look at Lisa just because she reminds me of Samantha!?
