Hello readers! Thanks for the positive feedback on the last chapter... really inspired me to write this one. I can't stress this enough, please take some time to write up a review. After all, I am looking for critique. Remember, THIS IS RATED T... SO I DON'T WANT ANY ONE UNDER 13 READING THIS! DAMMIT! Lol... R&R.
I could see that sparkling red-blue mane, glittering in the faint moonlight. I knew we should have waited for a table for two, but I didn't want to make Spitfire wait.
"Hey look who it is..." I informed Spitfire, careful to cover up my disgust. She turned her head slightly to the right, getting a peek at the incoming pegasi.
"Shadow!" Ruby-Sapphire called to me, waving.
"You wanna move?" I grumbled to the fiery mare seated across me.
"It's a little too late..." she told me. At least she wasn't too wild about the two ponies approaching us. After all, I was attempting to dig myself in deeper into this relationship with Spitfire, something that I had not done for years with anypony. I had been into one-nighters, a habit that made me many enemies. Some of those included Rarity, Twilight Sparkle and even the pony whose my heart truly belonged with, Rainbow Dash. She had forgiven me for it, but I didn't think she would ever want to date me. After all, she seemed to be gunning for Spitfire, not me.
"Are these seats taken?" Ruby-Sapphire asked, clearly trying to make a joke. I didn't flinch, and neither did Spitfire.
"No... they aren't..." Spitfire told them, kicking me under the table. My reaction was to flinch, but I knew that it would catch the attention of the watchful colt in front of me. Ruby-Sapphire pulled out a chair for Rainbow Dash, a normal act of kindness for two dating ponies.
"Thank you..." she said to RS.
"Your very welcome..." he responded, taking his own seat. At first, there was a very awkward silence, considering the history of the ponies seated at this table. The history was short, intense and unstable... as were the relationships, creating a very awkward silence in which neither myself nor Spitfire knew how to react to. I decided to take the initiative, to break the grinding silence.
"So... how did you guys end up getting together?" I asked, sincerely curious about the newfound relations that Sapphire and Dash had discovered. All I received was a blank stare, "Well?" Just then, I heard a crash a few tables behind us. Whatever had occurred had sent up a thick smog of dust, making it impossible to see what the cause was. Ruby-Sapphire stood up, walking into the dust cloud, curious himself. A moment later, I heard him flap his wings, thinning the cloud out. I was surprised to see that Devil was on top of Scootaloo, clearly furious.
"Where is it?!" he shouted, adjusting to the orange filly's squirming.
"I told you... I DON'T KNOW!" she shouted, still struggling to throw Devil off of her.
"What the freak is going on here?" Rainbow Dash shouted, jumping from her seat. Sweetie Belle came out of nowhere, tackling Devil off of his mount on Scootaloo.
"Get off of her!" she shouted, taking a defensive stance. Devil got back up from the pile of tables and chairs he had created.
"Stay out of this you little bitch!" he screamed, breaking into a run towards the young crusaders. I knew that he would hurt them, and possibly kill them. I acted, doing a complete backflip to my hooves. I launched myself with all my strength, on a collision course with Devil. I intercepted him, tackling him into a table. When I got up, I found that Rarity and Twilight had both come to see what the commotion was.
"Oh great..." Twilight grumbled, "Its HIM..." The spot were Scootaloo and Devil had initially landed had become a neutral zone, with myself, Devil and Spitfire on one side and Rainbow Dash, Ruby-Sapphire, Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Twilight and Scootaloo. Not exactly a fair fight, but we clearly were more athletically talented.
"Good to see you too ladies..." I said mockingly to Twilight and Rarity.
"Shut the fuck up!" Rarity yelled, "That wasn't what you thought it was, it was rape!" She covered her mouth realizing that there were fillies, including Sweetie Belle around, "Sorry about that Sweetie..." The younger unicorn gave her sister a disapproving look.
"Rarity..." she warned, "Don't curse..." While I had been preoccupied with listening to Rarity's outburst, I noticed that Devil and RS were in a stare-down, eyes locked and circling each other.
"Sapphire..." Devil spoke softly.
"Devil..." the bluish pegasus muttered threateningly. I rushed to split them up, and take a chunk out of Sapphire.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" I growled at him, "Challenging someone clearly younger and weaker than you!"
"I didn't do any such thing," Ruby-Sapphire countered, "He walked up to me and shoved his nose into mine..." Several of the older ponies involved in the complex scene began to join in, offering their opinions.
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" Spitfire screamed, silencing all of us. Her breath was rapid and powerful, "If this is the BS that I have to deal with everyday... I don't want to be involved in this circle at all!" She turned away, taking off into the night. Silence still poisoned the group, forcing us to stay silent. Ruby-Sapphire took a deep breath, turning to me.
"Well ain't that great..." he spat, "Look what you did!" I was so angry at the pegasus for blaming the entire incident on me.
"You have no right to point hooves!" I fired back.
"Well... if it weren't for Devil, you may have a point..." Twilight reasoned, "But it was because of Devil... therefore your argument is invalid..." She was always right and it made me want to choke her. Scootaloo lunged forward, attacking Devil and pinning him to the ground. I lowered my shoulder into her, sending her flying across the square. When I turned back, Ruby-Sapphire had his ten inch knife to my throat. Rainbow Dash began to tend to Scootaloo, checking to see if I had hurt her badly.
"Put that thing away and fight with your body, not a weapon!" I taunted him. He put the deadly piece of equipment away and took a few steps back.
"Fine..." he replied, taking a few steps back. He gestured to me, "Ladies first..." The fire that had built up inside me, begging to be unleashed, finally found a release point. I posted on my front legs and swung my back legs around, landing a forceful buck into his chest. I would have expected him to fly back. Instead, he dug in and took the hit, like an absolute badass would.
"Well, looks like someone toughened up..." I said to him, some amount of sincerity in my voice, "Now you're not some wimpy nerd..." He seemed shocked at my taunt, not even responding. However, that face didn't stay long.
"Bitch please, you'd be surprised what happens when you're too busy being a cocky prick to not..." In one swift motion, I lunged forward and slammed his head into the concrete, muting him. I looked up at the group of very angry mares that partially surrounded me.
"If you think that you can take me on..." I laughed at the thought. I heard a grunt from behind me followed by a ring, like a bell. A large object slammed into the back of my head, sending my vision into waves and stars.
"Maybe you should learn to be less cocky and more careful about where you stand..." Rainbow Dash said to me, "And THAT was for our little 'get together'!" My vision slowly faded into nothingness.

I landed on the road, about a mile from where I had abandoned Shadowbolt. It wasn't right, but I wasn't about to deal with two colts and a mare who were obsessed with me, just something else I didn't have time for. After a few minutes of absent minded walking, I found myself in a very unfamiliar part of Ponyville. It was... dark, dank, depressing and oppressed. The ponies here were thinner, their coats less bright, their stares more menacing. Now, I wished I could just go back and find my way out. About twenty feet up the street, I noticed a bar, packed to the brim with ponies. To escape the ever growing amount of dark shaded ponies, I hurriedly trotted over to the bar and walked inside.
I will say, I have never been inside a bar with nearly so many occupants inside, or as loud. Nearly the entire crowd was drunk, spilling their alcohol everywhere, including on me. The first thing that came to mind to escape the cascade of beer and drunkards holding the beer was to flee to the bathroom. I immediately ran for the wooden sign above a door that read "Bathroom". I ripped open the door and slammed it shut, finally able to catch my breath.
I looked at myself in the mirror inside the bathroom. The monster that stared back at me had wild eyes, beer sinking into its thick coat and a depressing look that could have shattered the hopes of anypony. I was about to jump back in fear, until I realized that the monster was myself, or what I had become in the last half hour. Not even Rarity could fix me up, only I could. So, I set to work using the implements that were available to me. I used the sinks to slowly drench individual sections myself in water, soap to remove the beer clinging to my fur and dried myself off slowly with the hoof dryer. After a solid twenty minutes, my coat was clear of any signs of the beer or the crazy look. Even my eyes seemed to have calmed down. When I walked back into the bar, ready to take on the crowd, I found no crowd... just a manager who showed me the door.
"Do you know who I am?" I asked the chubby pony. His mustache quivered, probably losing his patience.
"No fucking idea..." he told me blankly, "Now get out..." I wanted to argue with him, but he didn't look like he was in the mood to screw around. I decided to follow his orders without complaint and trotted out the door. While the party had stopped inside the bar, other bars had brightened up to accommodate the sudden surge of new potential customers. I thought about flying up into the air to find where I was, but a dense fog was setting in, and I'd rather not injure a wing flying blind.
While I was thinking, a couple of stereotypical gang ponies came around the corner. These, unlike most, were very distinctive. I realized that they were all part of my last year of Flight School. Even worse, I had a run in with one of them, where he tried to rape me, but not before Shadow had stepped in. I recall Shadowbolt putting a severe beating on him. Most people though I was lying, mainly those who thought Ponyville was a utopia of grandness and to the real world... rape, thievery and murder all occured throughout Equestria, even in Canterlot.
I studied the middle pony more carefully, noticing that he lacked a cutie mark, as did his comrades. Suddenly, he turned my way and a look of shock and memories washed over his face. He turned back to one of his goons, his lips barely moving. A new wave of fear washed over me as they changed their path towards me. Back those years ago, Shadow had been there, as an acquaintance, to help me. Now, I was on my own, a mare alone pursued by a group of thugs. The distance between us had to have been less than ten feet. I began to back up, still afraid of what they had in mind. The name came back to me, Silver Lining, he was anything but a silver lining.
"Well!" he chimed, "Spitfire... good to see you!" I tried backing away, but one of the ponies stepped behind me, effectively trapping me.
"W-W-What do you want..." I trembled, my thoughts still focused why he had taken interest in me.
"Take a wild guess..." I shook my head, still afraid of the answer, "Let me show you..." He hoisted me up on his shoulder, beginning to sprint back to the corner from where he came from. I recovered from my initial shock and began to furiously beat his back with my hooves.
"LET GO OF ME!" I screamed. I received no answer. I could see that his buddies were keeping up, making sure that I could not escape. The landscape around me turned from developing to complete disaster with some of the most vile looking building I had ever seen. I heard him bash open a door, followed by the door rebounding off the wall and automatically locking as it closed. Silver Lining climbed a few flights of stairs, with me still on his back, fighting with everything that I was worth. He stopped on a landing and turned into a hallway. My fate suddenly dawned to me as he opened a door to an apartment and threw me on the bed.
"So... you wanna know what I want?" he grinned.
"What..." I tried backing away. Silver Lining's smile only grew wider.
"To finish what I started!"
X-X-X
I was walking over a hill, to see how Ruby-Sapphire's plan was working out. As my line of sight cleared the top of the hill, I was greeted with what appeared to be a full on brawl. I could see that Shadow had RS in a front headlock. Rainbow Dash was kicking Shadow in an attempt to free Sapphire. Scootaloo and Devil were locked in intense fight, kicking, biting, even slapping each other with the intent to kill. I had no idea what had come between my friends, but I needed to step in. I broke into a sprint, pushing several ponies that blocked my path. I was only on the perimeter of the large circle that surrounded the brawl but I needed to stop it before anyone got severely injured.
"STOP!" I roared, putting as much force behind my command. As if a bomb had been set off, the entire crowd fell silent, eager to obey my angry voice. Even Shadow, RD, RS, Scootaloo and Devil had stopped fighting and gotten to their hooves.
"Flare?" Rainbow Dash asked confusingly, "What are you doing here?"
"To find out why the hell you're all fighting!" I yelled. The circle stepped back a few feet, to accommodate my rage.
"He crossed the line again!" Shadow complained.
"Fuck that stupid rule!" I fired back, "Bros before hoes... remember?" I failed to realize that a good part of the crowd was female, "And vice versa..."
"Bu..." Sapphire started.
"But nothing... end of story..." I cut him off. I expected the crowd to leave, but they stood militant, waiting for something else to happen, "If you don't know these pegasi personally... go home!" Like water from waxed paper, the bystanders left in a hurry. All who stayed were Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, and of course... the brawlers. However, there was another pony, one that I would describe as a gangster or a thief... either way, he looked like a criminal.
"Hey! Who the hell are you?" Rainbow Dash interrogated him. He chuckled at her angry attitude.
"Well... if you gave me a couple of seconds... I would tell you." he responded. There was a silence while we waited him to answer. Shadow began tapping his hoof impatiently, drawing my eyes to it. I could see the blood, bruises and cuts all over it.
"We're waiting..." Shadow finally spoke up, having the shortest patience.
"All you need to know is that I have someone you care about and that you will never see her again..." Three of us went stiff. I couldn't tell which exactly, but I felt the ground shake slightly. My mind was too slow to react as our "friend" took off into the night sky.
"GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!" Rainbow Dash screamed, lifting off to pursue him. Shadow and Sapphire were quick to follow. I heard Twilight sigh.
"Go get some sleep Fire Flare..." she told me, "We'll handle this..." I wasn't about to leave Rarity and Twilight to deal with the three extremely volatile pegasi, but I was tired from the party last night and needed to recover. I began to head back to my apartment, wondering what that thug had told us.
X-X-X
Silver Lining headed into the bathroom of the small apartment that he had chosen. He had come back to clean up what he had started, and all he had done was make it worse... for me. I lay, ravaged still by tinglyness and shameful pleasure. I couldn't believe that I hadn't made it to twenty without losing my virginity. It had only been 19 years. He had stolen it from me, even though I knew that some other pompous stuck-up asshole would have ended up stealing it sometime in the future. Now, I couldn't even face my mother anymore, maybe if I told her it was against my will... she would understand. What would Soarin' think of me? What would everyone think of me?
I needed to get out of here... to the press, to The Wonderbolts... anyone. I needed to show what a monster that Silver Lining was, not the casual thug that he played while he was in public. I tried to stand up on the bed, only to find that my flank and thighs felt like they were on fire and caused intense fiery pain throughout my entire body. I will never do buttsex... even if I am drunk, it just hurt too much. There was suddenly a tiny voice, coming from outside
"Spitfire!" the voice cried, somewhere outside.
"Spitfire... where are you!" a deeper voice yelled.
"Spitz... where are you?" another shouted.
"I wouldn't answer that call..." Silver Lining threatened. I whipped around to find that my rapist had materialized without me noticing. I ignored him and shouted at the top of my lungs.
"DOWN HERE!" I heard Silver chuckle.
"I warned you..." he began to slowly walk towards me, "Time for round two..."
"No!" I yelled, trying to run for the door, not taking into account that my entire back half of my body was still sore and bruised from round one. My legs wouldn't work and he threw me against the wall. I felt the air in my lungs leave me as I made impact. His face was inches from mine, contorted into a crazy grin.
"I warned you what happened to mares who turn me down..."
Yeah... that ain't good, she stuck with some rapist guy... anyway... whadda think? Good? Bad? Okay? Too explicit? (Despite the T Rating) Please tell me in the reviews!
I didn't feel like posting this on my profile page but... I think that kids know WAY too much these days. Kids are cursing at younger ages every year, watching porno younger every year and so on... Just wanted to let you all know that... (lol randomness)
