"Twilight...come on, you need to get outside,” I don't understand why Devon was here, I pretty much told everyone I wanted to be alone, and yet here he is, inside my house as I brought the pillow on my head tighter on top of my head to try and shut the world out; still trying to coax me outside. It's already been a day, yesterday Brandon was taken from us all...and I found out that him...and Chrysalis...my body shook just thinking of it! I felt the bed move as he sat on it; his hand went on my shoulder as I jerked away from his touch. I heard him sigh once more as he stood up and went down the stairs as I then heard Spike.

            "Well?” he asked as Devon then answered.

            "Nah, still nothing...can you really blame her though?”

            "When I get my claws on Brandon, I'll freaking strangle him!” I then heard a small growl from him. "How could he do something like that?!”

            "He only did it because he thought it would help keep Twilight safe,” Devon answered going to Brandon defense. "Yes, I can understand what he did was wrong, but Spike you would do the same if Rarity was in danger would you not?”

            "I...” Spike paused for a moment, after a while I heard him let out a deep sigh. "I guess so, he was doing what he thought was best...but still...he cheated on Twilight!” I flinched at that word, I had heard of many begin heart broken before, and never truly understood what and how it felt, and now I did. It felt horrible, like somepony stabbed you in the chest and tore out something within you. I know Brandon was only doing what he thought would keep me safe...but this...?

            "Look,” Devon went on as the sound of footsteps was heard. "I say we leave, let her be alone for a while alright?”

            "Alright,” Spike answered. "But you have to show me some moves, no way am I standing on the side lines anymore.” As the two left, I lifted my head and rested my head on the pillow, looking over to the dresser; seeing the picture of me and Brandon.

            It was made about a week after we became lovers; he was down on his knee, one arm wrapped around me as we both held wide smiles on out faces. I softly smiled and I brought the picture over to me, I just gazed at it for a moment, before my own smile came back slightly. I was not about to give up on Brandon, no...because once I got him back, he would have to deal with someone a whole lot worst then Darkness; me. Putting the picture back in place, I was about to make my way downstairs, when I felt a breeze. Looking to my window, I noticed that it was close, but the breeze was coming...behind me? I turned and yelped as lighten crackled in a large circle, much like when my future self came to tell me something, which I never got until the last moment. Covering my eyes as I waited for whoever was coming from the future to come before me, I felt the breeze stop as I opened my eyes and took a step back at what I was seeing.

            It was a pure white Pegasus standing on my bed, his body holding so many scars, I thought for a moment he was old, but looking carefully...he looked maybe my age, if not a few years older? His green eyes locked onto me at once; along his nose were scars, his neck, legs, and body, all with scars. Even over his left eye, which was closed was five claw like marks. I could see his Cutie Mark, looking much like Rainbow Dash's one, save for that it looked like the cloud was exploding, and lighting bolt all blue and looking much thinner.

            "Twilight Sparkle,” he spoke in a deep voice as he jumped off my bed. "Good, I am in the right time line.”

            "Wh...Who are you?” I asked as he looked around and then looked outside for a moment. His only good eye seemed to grow wide as he jumped back on my bed and looked though the window.

            "The...sun...amazing...just as I was told...” he then sighed and looked back to me. "I am sorry...it just, I have never seen the sun before; my name, is Sonic Flash, and as I can only guess you know, I come from the future, nineteen years in fact.” He had never seen the sun, nineteen years in the future...did that mean...? "Yes, Darkness had truly taken over Equestria.”

            "You can read my mind?” I asked taking a step back as he laughed.

            "No,” he answered. "But I see the way you are thinking.”

            "Why have you come back, to stop Darkness yourself?” Sonic sighed and shook his head slowly.

            "No,” he answered. "I am not strong enough, but please, allow me to tell you my story please?” I nodded my head slightly but the question came to my mind that I had to ask.

            "Wait, won't you go back to your own time in a bit?” he chuckle and shook his head.

            "No, you see, I made the choice of coming here to stay, until my mission is complete, so that the future can be changed. When that is done, I well cease to be, I will disappear from the face of the world, since the future was changed.” He would...cease to exist and he seemed so claim about it too. He started to walk around my room a bit looking all around before sighing. "Let us take this downstairs so that we may both may sit, and let me tell you this now.” he gave me a look. "I can not fully tell you about who I am alright?” I gave a small nod as we made our way downstairs. I sat down as he went over to a window and looked outside, before looking away and stood up as he started his tale.

            "I will be born one year from now,” he started as he closed his eyes. "Though already, Darkness had taken over Equestria with the help of Discord and Chrysalis...and Brandon.” No...Brandon is...was...still under their control? "The world...It is a place of true fear Twilight...you have no idea. The Dark Beast, they are even more powerful then what you think of them now, we are all but slaves to them. Well...almost all. Many of us still fight to try and kill them off, to try and bring back the light...but...” he took a deep breath. "With the princesses dead, we are losing this battle.”

            "You mean...?”

            "Yes...Brandon will kill Celestia and Luna, around the same time I was born.”

            "What...happened to him...?” Sonic looked away for a moment before returning to the story.

            "Chrysalis pretty much uses him to feed herself and her Changeling; he is truly the only one with any love left in the world. She takes your form so that his love will never die. I was captured by her one time, and was...well forced to watch as they mated before me; don't ask why, for I will not answer that. After I escape, we, the ones who still fight, made a plan. One of us had to go back into the past, and break Brandon of his hold that the Queen Changeling has on him, this will pretty much change the fate Equestria will have.”

            "What about my friends...the others, what happen to them?”

            "Dead,” he answered plainly. "After the death of the princesses, Brandon was sent off to kill off your brother, his wife, and also the other prince, leaving him the only one to take the throne, to which he gave to Darkness, giving him the power to block the sun and cast a never ending night and darkness. The only one, who did live, was yourself, for Darkness still wants you as his queen, and Devon; who lost this arm in a battle between Brandon and himself.” All of this was a lot to take in. And yet still, he went on. "Yourself and Devon are the leader of the 'rebels' as Darkness labeled us, though it pained you greatly as well as Devon, even though Brandon cut off his arm...you both consider him your friends, or lover. But...we've been trying to kill Brandon for a while now.”

            "K...kill him, why?!”

            "He has become a great tool to Chrysalis and Darkness, without him, we could easily stop them, even as I speak no doubt they are still trying this out.”

            "So if I may ask,” I asked as he went over and took a look at my books. "Why send you back to the past to help?”

            "Well...unlike when you went to the past to warn yourself about whatever it was, I am here to stay, well...until the mission is done so to say. And since I am staying, we needed someone who was not of this timeline. So I pretty much have a year to help you out.”

            "To...kill Brandon?” Sonic laughed while looking back to me.

            "No...here look,” he reached into his mane and pulled out a large needle with yellow water like suspense inside of it. "You made this a little while ago, if we inject this into Brandon, he will be free of the spell he is under.”

            "Really?!” I asked as I stood up at once, as he nodded.

            "Yes...just freeing Brandon, that will change the future, but...if we don't do it within the year, when I am born in this timeline...well...the space time blah, blah, blah...lets just say...the world will blow up...”

            "W...what?!”

            "Kidding,” he laughed slightly as I only frowned. "What? This is the first time I have the time to really laugh, give me a break!” he shook his head. "But no you see, since I do not belong to this time line, when I am born here, like a ghost I will slowly disappear from the world.” He placed the needle on the table, and was about to say something else, when the door behind him opened.

            "Hey Twilight,” it was Devon; he had his back to us as he walked in with a large cake. "Pinkie Pie thought this might...err...who are you?” he then noticed Sonic as the scar pony went up to him.

            "Man...you were right, in the past you were skinny!”

            "Wait...what?”

            "Long story short,” Sonic spoke while looking up at him. "I'm from the future.”  I thought for sure Devon would say something random as Brandon would put it, but he just stared down at the pony, with a questionable look.

            "Oh really, if you are from the future then where did me and Rarity first...”

            "In the hot tub at the Spa.”

            "And why did we...?

            "Cause it was one of her kinks.”

            "...Bow...”

            "Chicka bow wow.”

            "Yup he's from the future!”

            An hour later, after Celestia and Luna, as well as the rest of my friends came to the house, he repeated what he told me. Everyone was shocked, but Luna and Celestia did not truly believe him at first.

            "How can we know if you are truly from the future?” he then went up to them and whispered something, their eyes went wide as they looked to me for a moment and then back at him.

            "Yes...” Celestia then answered. "He is truly from the future.” What did he say to them to make them believe him just like that? An embarrassed moment or something along the lines of that? "So then...you must know where Darkness had taken Brandon then, do you not?”

            "Yes,” the white winged pony spoke. "Darkness and Chrysalis spent the month they did not attack after Brandon first turned into an Alicorn with the help of Nightmare moon, to make an underground lair under the castle you two use to own. The way in, is hidden under the throne room, though I know where it is because as I child I use to hide there a lot from the Dark Beast.”

            "So what's the plan then?” asked Devon as Sonic turned to him.

            "Ether you or Mike will have to inject Brandon with the needle, the neck is the best place for it can spread throughout his body faster.”

            "Sweet...” Devon grinned then. "Neck shot!”

            "And the rest of us?” Rainbow Dash asked as Sonic turned to her.

            "The Elements of Harmony as you know will not harm Darkness, but it can slow him down some,” he then stopped for a moment ad said something else. "Truly though, I know that doing this will take time before the power of the EOH if maybe we have enough guards or so keeping you all safe until you release it, it may shock him enough, though, I'm not sure if you can kill, but if you six use it on him, allowing the guards, or even the princesses here to wound him. Then this can work to your avenged!”

            "How so?” asked Mike as Sonic, went on with saying.

            "You see, whenever Darkness is wounded greatly, he must rest, that is why when Brandon first kicked his ass, it took almost a month for him to attack. As I said, you may not be able to kill him as is...”

            "But if we weaken him enough...” Devon went on. "And find him...we then can kill him!”

            "Bingo!” Flash answered with a nod as he chuckled. "You're not much of an idiot in this timeline then I was led to believe!”

            After the little meeting, everyone was getting ready. Devon held the needle in a small pouch that would not break it as the princesses got the guards ready. We were just outside of Ponyville, when I made my way toward Sonic Flash, seeing him look over toward where Canterlot was. He must have heard me coming because he looked back to see me, slightly smiling.

            "I want to change the future Twilight,” he told me looking at the mountain even more. Looking up at the sky seeing the sun still shine as it slowly started to set. "I want the ponies of Equestria, to not have to live in fear, to be free...” he then sighed softly. "I'm glad I could've come back...to see the sun, the world as it was...before I cease to exist.”

            "Are you...scared?” I asked him as he shook his head.

            "I've been though so much hell Twilight,” he spoke softly. "If by some reason I can rest in peace...then I will be glad.” He then turned to me. "Oh...and you are with child.”

            "W...what?” I asked as he smiled.

            "You're having Brandon's foal, that's also why I want save him. I know what it is like to live without a father. Mine was taken before Darkness came to power, my mother...she was...always so sad. That's why I joined the fight, to stop Darkness!” I looked down to myself, I was...carrying Brandon's foal...I felt tears of joy come into my eyes.

            "Is...it a boy or girl?”

            "Not gonna say,” Sonic told me as he smiled.

            "Can you at least tell me who your mother and father are?” I asked wanting to wait the year and in a way, thank him.

            "Sorry, I can't do that, as I said before; some things I won't say, this is one of them.”

            "What is your mother like?” I asked wanting to know something of his family. "Can you give me a hint?”

            "Nope.” I gave him a look that caused him to slightly frown. "Twilight listen, I can't tell you know who I am, it might mess up the future even more alright? Think of it like this, what if you went back in time to when your mother and father didn't know each other? And somehow you made it that they went with different lovers?” I could see where he was going with this. "I can't tell you who my family is alright, please; trust me on this.”  

            "Okay let me go though the plan once more alright?” Sonic Flash sighed, before him now was Rarity, who was standing next to Devon as he punched his open metal fist a few times. Mike, who held his large sledge hammer over his shoulder, his hat straighten a bit as Applejack also stood next to him, myself and Shiny Armor, who insisted on coming to make sure I was safe; Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Spike, and the two princesses Celestia and Luna. Sonic Flash stood before us, far away from the castle where the main group, filled with Luna's Celestia's and even Brandon's guard went though the main hidden doorway which was under the pedestals where the Element of Harmony use to stand. He told them that this would be where the Changelings and Dark Beast would most likely protect, this giving us a sure fire way to where Darkness and Chrysalis was holding Brandon, no doubt getting him ready. "Once the guards get in, which is now, we will enter though this doorway here,” he pulled away some vines to show what he was meaning. "It's a short way down, but we should be able to get there soon. Celestia, Luna, you two will have to fight Darkness, Mike, Devon; you two take care of Brandon, the rest if you can, fight off Chrysalis.”

            "Got it,” Devon spoke. "So when do I neck shoot Brandon?”

            "Any chance you can get.”

            "Pwning...”

            "Any other questions?” he asked, when no one spoke he nodded, "Alright, follow me.”

            Following him deep underground, I noticed that the slop was somewhat steep, not enough to make anypony trip, but still steep enough that we had to watch our steps. And it was so high and wide, that we all could walk in a wall like way if we wished to. My brother was beside me, Devon soon coming up as he spoke.

            "Hey you guys,” he whispered slightly looking at us. "Do you notice anything...about Sonic Flash?”

            "What do you mean?” Shiny asked looking at the human and then the future pony.

            "He looks a lot like Brandon when he was an Alicorn, don't you think?” he spoke again. Now that I think about it, looking at Sonic Flash, I could see the similarity. The way his coat was, and even his black hair was pushed back and spiked up just like Brandon; but that would mean...

            "Wait...Twilight, didn't you tell me that he said you were with child already?” my brother asked as I only nodded my head. Sonic was...my son?!

            "Whoa...talk about freak show huh?” Devon answered. "Well, I guess we can understand WHY he came back to the past a little more. He's trying to make sure that not only the future changes, but at least the newer Sonic Flash can have a family!”

            "It makes sense,” Shiny spoke. "I mean...if he was anyone else, why would he want to do this, they knew how Darkness was in the future, so why risk their lives in the past.”

            After a while, we all stopped as Flash held a hoof up, bringing it close to his lips to tell us to keep it down. We slowly made our way so we could see what he was seeing. There was a mirror before us, though we could see though it, no doubt a double sided mirror to use to escape. Chrysalis was with Brandon, she sat one this large throne as he stood beside her, his eyes still as blank as when we last saw him, Darkness was also there, just coming in now with a few of his Dark Beasts.

            "It seems your plan on making a underground base has been a failure!” he roared out to her as Brandon flinched for his sword, Chrysalis stopped him with her hoof and shook her head to him as he nodded and Brandon the sword back to its home.

            "It only failed because you didn't wish to kill that damn Twilight like I told you!” she resorted back. "You could have any mare once we have this world, but no, you want to go for that one bitch that truly has the power, much like Brandon has and try and make her yours!”

            "And I told you the reason why I want her,” Darkness snapped back. "If I can wed with her and make her an Alicorn, her power will increase, and then I can then take that power and make it my own!” he started to chuckle and then laugh loudly. "I will be the most powerful being in this world, or any world!” the queen only rolled her eyes as she brought a hoof to Brandon head, as if he was a cat as she rubbed his hair. I saw Sonics' body tense at this, the theory of him being our son was starting to show. "And what of you and this human?” Darkness asked pointing at him. "Do you only want him because of his love for Twilight?”

            "That,” she answered as she chuckled. "And he's good for...stress release.”

            "Ugh, whatever.” The evil Alicorn spoke. "Look, the Guards are now fighting with my Dark Beasts, they are getting better at killing them, and soon I won't your race to attack so we can kill them off! Got it?!”

            "Whatever, now may you please leave...I have better things to do then listen to you complain.” Before Darkness did leave though Chrysalis then asked. "Why do you bother with you other human you brought here?” other human? I looked to Flash as he looked back as well to me, I could see it in his eyes, even he had no idea what she spoke of. "I thought you despise the human race?”

            "This human is...different, yes I may hate the race as a whole, but I can sense the darkness in his heart, his very soul.” Darkness chuckled slightly. "He and the true Dark Beast shall fight in the coming days, if this human wins, he shall gain the power of the Dark Beast, making the rest for them even more powerful. Though, it is also vice versa, but I'm rooting for the human.” Was this the reason the Dark Beast grew so powerful in the future, because this human killed their leader and gained the power of it? "But, I shall leave, I don't wish to stay here to watch you,” he spat at the ground. "Play, with your toy, and try not to make too much noise?” I felt my rage slowly growing as Chrysalis only chuckled, rubbing Brandon cheek slightly.

            "Won't make any promises.” And with that, Darkness left.

            "Now that he is gone...” the queen chuckled turning Brandon's head over. "Why don't you show me how much you care for your queen?” I thought I would be the first to lose it, but it was Sonic who broke it off. Running straight though the glass, causing Chrysalis to jerk over to where we were; Devon and Mike followed after him, flanking beside him as the two Princess took the lead and flew over them, landing in front of them while myself, my friends stayed behind as my brother stayed close to us. "Well, well, well,” Chrysalis said with a grin, letting my boyfriend's cheek go. "What I unneeded surprise, and how pray tells did you find my back door?”

            "That is a need to no basic with you whore queen!” Sonic cried out while pointing a hoof at Brandon. "You are going to die right here and now!”

            "Oh my, and who might you be? With so many scars on your body, you must ether be a great warrior...or a pony with just bad luck!” Sonic growled softly as Celestia made her way forward a bit.

            "You have one chance to release Brandon from your grasps,” she spoke with both claim yet authority in her voice. "Or we will have no choice, but to destroy you.” Chrysalis softly chuckled at this before looking to Brandon.

            "Honey?” she asked leaning down to his ear. "Do you see what Darkness has done? He had killed your friends and took their forms for his Dark Beast; don't you want your revenge on them?”

            "Yes...” Brandon answered turning as he brought his sword up.

            "Then go my sweet, kill them, and show your queen what kind of a male you are!”

(Devon's POV)

            Whoa shit! We all jumped out of the way as Brandon came at speed I didn't know he had! His sword glowing a light white as he slashed side ways, sending crackles of lightening in the air where we all stood. The princesses took to the air, but that holed filled Alicorn also went after them. the three fighting in the air, much like planes in a dog fight, magic being shot all over the place as me and Mike stood at the ready as Brandon slowly turned toward us. I looked back for a second, watching as Shiny Armor backed away toward the girls and Spike, who had the hidden blades on his wrists as many of the Changelings came closer to them. I guess they were only going to fight them, because they paid us no heed. Looking back to Brandon, I knew the girls could take care of themselves, but right now, I and Mike had to worry about Brandon; and trying not to kill him.

            "Any ideas there Devon?” I heard Mike ask me as I looked over for a quick second and shook my head slowly.

            "Maybe if you hold onto him and I just stab his neck with this needle...but that seems far fetched and maybe undoable.”

            "Hrm, right...” I was about to ask what the future pony would have any ideas, but I noticed that he was not around at all. Brandon, trilling his blade a bit in a small circle while inching closer and closer to us; made myself and Mike to slowly back away as well.

            Just then, the sound of a loud battle cry was heard, looking behind Brandon, I noticed a white blur tackle my friend, but his stance was widen so he was still standing. Spinning around and giving a cry of his own, Brandon slashed his blade more like those men on Assassin creed when you poison them, you know; they look like their drunk in a way? Clinging to his back, was Sonic Flash himself, gripping with his hooves on his waist and neck as he looked back.

            "What are you waiting for?! The needle you bastard; the needle!” the needle, what was he...oh shit that's right! Going to my pocket I pulled it out, but stopped when the heard the growls of the Changelings behind us as some looked to us.

            "I got these buggers!” he then jumped over to them, I watched for a second as he slammed his large hammer to the ground, crushing two of their heads, before using some wicked leg power and kick one more, bowling it to another. Gripping the needle tight in my hand, I ran toward Brandon, ducking as he swung once more for me, just missing my sexy face (there Devo I put it on!) before I stood up, my right arm backing up into a swing; as I jabbed him in the neck. Sonic then pushed the needle handle, making the weird stuff inside slowly enter my friend's bloodstream as he gave a gurgle sound. The white flier jumped off and landed beside me, as Brandon staggered like he was drunk, before falling face first onto the ground.

            "Brandon!” I looked back to see all the Changelings that came were now ether dead or gone, Mike went over to Applejack, to see if she was alright, and once she nodded, everyone else, save for the princesses and queen who were still fighting. Sonic Flash got before her, raising a hoof and shaking his head.

            "Wait a moment,” he told her. "That needle might not have worked...we have to...” we all heard a groan as we turned to Brandon at once. he pushed himself up by his arm before sitting, I brought my fist up, but then smiled for what I heard next.

            "AGH!!!!” he screamed and stood up running in a small circle. "Why is there a needle in my neck?! getitoutgetitoutgetitout GET.IT.OUT!!!” still running for a bit, me and Mike were able to stop him after a moment as I pulled it out with a chuckle as he sighed.

            "Good to have you back man,” I told him patting his back. "But to make sure...what's your favorite food?” he blinked, his eyes looking back to normal as he rubbed his neck.

            "Favorite?” he asked as I chuckled, knowing that he would eat just about anything.

            "He's okay!” I called out as the rest of them came over. Everyone let out a small sigh of relief, and moved over as Twilight slowly made her way over. Brandon saw her, and seemed to shrink back a bit, going down to his knees he was at her eye level as she smiled softly.

            "Are you okay?” She asked her as Brandon slightly smiled rubbing his neck.

            "Yeah...I'll think I'll be fine.”

            "Good...” that shocked me next, was what she did. Bringing her right arm back, she snapped it forward; a loud crack was heard as Brandon fell toward the ground as he cried out n pain. "WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING?!” I think my eyes would've popped out of my head, I've only know Twilight for maybe close to half a month, and not once had I ever heard her swear. "MAKING A DEAL WITH THAT ALICORN LIKE THAT?! I OUTTA...outta...” I saw her body shudder as Brandon sat up, groaning as he rubbed his chin, I was surprised his jaw didn't break. Twilight then ran over tackling him into a hug as she cried loudly into his shirt as he held her tightly in an embrace as well.

            "I...I'm sorry Twilight,” he whispered as even he was slightly crying. "I was thinking about your safety, I...I thought this could be good, to stop Darkness, please...can you ever forgive me?” she didn't say anything for a moment, as she just looked up at him, her cheek stained with tears as she went back to his chest.

            "Just promise...never to leave me again...and I may forgive you...” Sonic Flash came and stood beside me, watching the sight unfold before us. Looking over to him, I whispered.

            "You're their son, aren't you?” he closed his eyes and smiled, a small chuckle escaping his lips.

            "Yeah,” he told me with a nod. "When you get the chance though, tell Twilight not to tell my father of who I am alright? I think it would be funny for Twilight to see his shocked face huh?” I nodded my head, as our other friends went to welcome Brandon back, I pulled Twilight to the side and told her what her future son just said to me, she agreed as she watched as he and Brandon spoke for a bit, until we heard the crash of someone falling from the sky.

            Looking over, it was Queen Chrysalis as she slowly stood up, Brandon looked toward me and Mike as he nodded, and we nodded back as we walked over toward where Celestia and Luna now stood as the Changeling Queen stood up.

            "Brandon! Darling, now is your chance, kill them!”

            "How about this?” her eyes grew wide when she noticed the change in his voice as he pointed his sword to her. "How about...you go get fucking bent you son of a bitch cock sucking whore?!”

            "Ohhh, nice one Brandon!” I chuckled as he smirked.

            "Been saving that one for a while!”

            "Impossible!” she screeched. "How did you break free of that trance?! That was a spell that even myself could not break even if I wanted to!”

            "Well you see...” but I never got to finished what I was going to say, I felt myself being lifted up into the air as I yelped; and then...blackness took me in.

(Brandon's POV)

            "Devon!” both me and Rarity screamed as I watched my white Unicorn friend run over to where Devon was thrown, his body laid lifeless, or at least I hope it truly wasn't lifeless as I looked over and glared hard as Darkness made his way into the room.

            "Darkness!” Chrysalis cried and gave a large smirk. "It's about time! Now we can...ugk!” I watched as she was slowly floating into the air as she brought her front hooves to her neck, his right hoof pointed toward her as he threw her aside toward a pillar, that then fell on top of her causing her to cough up green blood. What the fuck, green blood?

            "Worthless wrench,” he hissed as her body lay in a heap under the pillar that was over her body. He slowly turned toward us as he grinned. "At least you are back to yourself...good, I can kill you now and know that I am truly stronger then you are!” I growled my sword lighting up with an attack I had learned. It seems I could control some magic over my sword, making it have a little more of a kick when I hit someone with it. he then spread his wing out a bit, a weird black aura was seemed causing everyone but myself to back away as he grinned. "Now that we are alone...”

            "I'm back!” I jerked and then looked up as Devon landed, his fist out as he punched Darkness right in the middle of his back, who howled in pain before he then kicked, with a strength I had yet to see from him before from my human friend, sending him though a wall.

            "Oh I see what you did there!” I laughed slightly as Devon smirked. "You said, 'I'm back,' and hit him in the back!”

            "Yeah, hey Darkness!” he called out with a grin. "You okay in there?” I heard a grown as I wanted t see how Devon could make this funny in a way.

            "Oh yeah...” I heard the Alicorn groan as everyone behind us got up to us to help in the no doubt fight. "I'm fan-fucking-tastic, nothing but gum drops and ice cream!” I then heard Pinkie Pie let out a small cry of joy.

            "Gum drops and ice cream! Can I come in?” we all looked to her as she gave us a weird 'what?' look.

            "I'm surrounded by idiots...” we heard him groan out as Pinkie Pie tilted her head to the side.

            "But I thought you said you were surrounded by gum drops and ice cream?”

            Just ten, all that was heard was him screaming as the wall that covered him was broken; a black aura was seen around him as he growled, his eyes large with rage.

            "THAT'S IT! EVERY BODY DIES!” he then snapped his head toward Devon. "And you will die first! You just reminded me of my failures!”

            "Failure at killing me?” Devon asked with the tilt of his head. "Or you just failing life in generally?” Darkness started to breath harder and harder.

            "I am going to kill you!”

            "Bitch,” Devon then stuck his middle finger up at him. "You just hating on my black man swagga!”

            "AGH!!!” he was no doubt about to charge at us all, when the room around us began to shake. Looking all around I was wondering what was causing the rumble as Sonic Flash started to laugh.

            "Seems the bomb I also brought just went off.”

            "You brought a bomb?!” Devon cried out as Sonic shrugged. "Why didn't you tell us?!”

            "Didn't ask.”

            "You know, you're a bitch.”

            "And you're a sex crazed horny human!” Devon said nothing for a moment.

            "Touché,”

            "Hey guys!” I cried as they looked to me. "I think we better leave...like now?!” Darkness was already gone when I looked back, Celestia and Luna setting up a spell as I noticed two things, one; Chrysalis still had yet to move, and Sonic Flash slowly disappearing. "Hey...what's going on?” he looked to himself and smiled.

            "The future has been changed, so now I will disappear.” I gasped slightly as he smiled slightly at me. "Don't worry, I'm alright with this, at least...with the few seconds I have left, I know that the world truly will be different.”

            "Hey...thanks,” I told him as he smiled.

            "No...thank you...” and like that, he was gone.

            Another rumble tore me from my stare at where he was as I wobbled a bit. I was about to run to the circle where my sisters, girlfriend, and friends were; when I stopped and turned to Chrysalis. God damn it, why am I a sucker for being helpful!? Running over to where she was, I heard the cry of Twilight but didn't catch what she was saying. Taking the pieces off, I brought the Changeling queen's right arm over my shoulder and started to drag her. I heard her let out a groan as I saw her looking at me.

            "Wh...why?” she seemed just as confused as everyone else.

            "Even though you fucked me over,” I told her. "Even someone such as yourself should die like this.” Walking as fast as I could, I heard a boom creak from above, looking up I noticed large blocks were falling from the top as we made our way closer and closer. I felt a small rock hit my head, looking up, I noticed a large boulder falling toward us. I tried to catch it with my magic, but another rock slammed into my arm, a loud crack easily heard as I yelled in pain. Thinking this was the end, I closed my eyes, but nothing happened. Looking up, I noticed it floating, seeing it was Chrysalis who had stopped it; in fact, she made this large shield in a way as she then pushed me toward my friends.

            "Go!” she told me as she struggled to hold on to the shield. "You all must live, Kill Darkness!” I was pulled back by both Mike and Devon as I watched as she held onto it for a bit more. She then gave a small smile before then saying.

            "The human that is here helping Darkness,” I heard her speak out. "You know him,” and just like that, she let the spell go, as a white light surrounded us all.
