It had been months since Darkness proposed to Cloud Star and since Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy got married. Rainbow Dash awoke from her dreams and found that her belly was larger. She smiled warmly at the sight of her pregnancy. She and Fluttershy knew what to name it if it's a boy, it would be named Lightning Star. If it's a girl they'd call her Rain Star. The house was busy lately, because mainly due to the wedding plans. Darkness and Cloud Star are to be married in a week's time. The house was mainly full of stylists and designers, luckily one designer was Rarity who would sneak some chocolate to Rainbow Dash while she was in bed. Cloud Star was constantly checking flower arrangements while Darkness designed the cake, the bouquet, the decorations etc.
Fluttershy was mainly with Cloud Star the same could be said about Twilight with Darkness trying to style his hair in different ways that he would approve of. Pinkie Pie was also with Darkness discussing decorations, cake designs and all of those things. The only company Rainbow Dash had was Applejack and Gilda over video call. Rainbow Dash was told to stay off her feet during the hustling of the wedding. Applejack had brought some movies to watch with Rainbow Dash while all the commotion went on.
Applejack said to her, "Ya know Rainbow Dash ya definitely have that glow about a mare whose pregnant." Rainbow Dash hugged her and said, "Thanks AJ." Eventually Rainbow Dash got very bored of sitting in bed all day while everything was getting sorted. She decided to get up one day and see what's going on. She groaned and said, "Damn, you're definitely a hoofful right now." She walked down the stairs carefully. When she reached downstairs she saw how hectic it really was. Ponies going back and fourth out the house and between Darkness and Cloud Star.
Rainbow Dash saw Fluttershy was at Cloud Star's side. She walked over to her and said, "It seems that these celebrity weddings are definitely crazy." Fluttershy immediately went into panic mode, "You should be in bed right now." Rainbow Dash said to her, "Shy it gets boring up there I want to be where the excitement is." Fluttershy sighed and said, "Okay you can stay. I think I've got Cloud covered, you should head over to Darkness he might need help." Rainbow Dash looked towards him, he was shouting at Twilight who looked like she was about to cry. She walked over and could hear, "Why don't you just shave my whole mane off?" "Whoa whoa whoa. Just chill the fuck out dude." said Rainbow Dash. Darkness just breathed in and said, "You're right, sorry about that Twi."
Twilight nodded and said, "It's alright." Darkness explained to her, "Use a clip 2 to shave the sides and the back. Then leave the top." Twilight nodded and did what he said.
Rainbow Dash then interjected, "You need help with anything?" Darkness nodded and said, "Yeah I need your help with Princess Luna." Rainbow Dash turned her head away.
"You're asking me about the pony who tried to hack my mind. She wanted to know who you're marrying."
Darkness replied, "I know, I was with her a few months ago. What I need you to do is to make sure that you send these invites but make sure that none reach Canterlot or the paparazzi. Because it's likely that Luna will see who I'm marrying. And you and I both know how she feels about Cloud." Rainbow Dash said, "How? I can't fly, this baby kind of weighs me down." "Mia will take care of it, just specify where you need these invites are to be delivered. The Canterlot ponies have already been invited, the rest is up to you." Rainbow Dash typed in the places that needed to receive invites. Mia sent them off. Darkness then said, "Rainbow Dash. I promise you that Luna will not try to harm Cloud Star. She'll have to go through me first and we both know she won't do anything to me." Rainbow Dash nodded in agreement. Darkness then looked at the door and said, "Hey dumb ass, I told you that if you give shit to her I would personally tear your head off." Rainbow Dash turned to the door and saw Princess Celestia walking in. Rainbow Dash had heard that Celestia had apparently been seen in a strip club as a model herself.
Celestia walked over to Darkness and said, "Thank you for clearing my name." Darkness nodded once to her. Darkness had told the paparazzi that Celestia was not being a model but actually dancing to the music. Celestia sat on the couch and acknowledged Rainbow Dash. She smiled warmly and said, "I see you've got the glow that all mares want when they're pregnant." Darkness asked, "How's Luna doing?" Celestia answered, "In all honesty she's fine. I'm keeping her in the dark about Cloud Star. All she knows is that you're getting married. That alone pisses her off." Darkness nodded saying, "Yeah not good. For her especially, seeing how she feels about Cloud." Celestia nodded. She turned to Rainbow Dash and asked, "How would you like to come live in the castle while all the prep is done for the bride and groom here?" Rainbow Dash looked at Fluttershy who nodded at her. Rainbow Dash looked up to Celestia and said, "As long as Luna doesn't try hacking my mind again." Celestia said in a calming tone, "You don't need to worry about her I promise."
Rainbow Dash packed her mane brush, her glasses, her book, her laptop, her cell phone and a few clothing items to feel comfortable. She packed it all into her saddle bags which Celestia volunteered to carry. She then lifted Rainbow Dash onto her back. Rainbow Dash was astounded at how strong Celestia was physically. Celestia took off into the direction of Canterlot. Little did they know that they were being tracked by a scope from a high powered rifle. They landed in the courtyard of the castle. It was soon time for dinner. Rainbow Dash was carried to the nearest room. It was on the second floor of the castle. She would only have to climb one flight of stairs a day. She was set down on the bed, Celestia said, "Dinner is at seven, you'll find that your room has it's own private bathroom and dressers." Rainbow Dash thanked Celestia and she left for the dining room.
Rainbow Dash unpacked one saddlebag and put on one of her hoodies. It was a dark purple, it also had white sides. She made the descent to the dining room. She saw Celestia was sitting where she always did, at the head of the table. She also saw Princess Luna sitting where she sat all the time, to the right of Celestia. She also saw Princess Cadence next to Luna. Rainbow Dash took her seat across from Luna. Celestia nodded at Luna. Luna looked at Rainbow Dash and said, "I'm sorry for trying to hack your mind out of my own jealousy." Rainbow Dash accepted the apology. Soon the starters were served.
During the starter Cadence asked, "So what's it like to be pregnant?" "Oh you know, mood swings, back pains, your hooves smell funny, cravings for weird food." replied Rainbow Dash. Cadence and Celestia giggled at the joke. Luna however, who was known for giggling did not. Celestia grew worried, "Luna is something wrong. Is the soup not what you like it to be?" she asked. Luna shook her head and said, "I realized that no matter what you do you can't be with the one you truly love." Celestia reached out to her, Luna pulled away from her sister and said, "I'm not hungry right now." She left the table and headed into the throne room to wait for her duties of the night. Celestia sighed and said, "She's let him go now. She's not taking it too well at all." Cadence looked at her with question. "Your favourite actor Cadence is getting married and Luna was in love with him." said Celestia to her niece. Cadence realized who she was talking about. "Well who's he marrying?" asked the young alicorn. Celestia replied, "We'd rather not discuss it."
Rainbow Dash sat there looking at the doors of the throne room. Soon dinner was over.
Luna was still in the throne room. Rainbow Dash put on her night gown and descended the stairs to the throne room, she opened it slightly. She saw Luna was still there. She breathed in and stepped into the throne room. She walked cautiously toward the emotionally unstable Princess of the Night. Luna looked up to see Rainbow Dash walking towards her. She said to her, "You can come closer. One who is depressed can not use the gifts bestowed onto her." Rainbow Dash went closer to the alicorn. "I was wondering what your favourite dessert was." said Rainbow Dash, Luna looked at her again and said, "One does not need dessert. One needs to suffer the pain from her mistake." Rainbow Dash saw the hurt was fresh in Luna's eyes. In fact she didn't look healthy. She was a gray colour and her mane was straight and non-flowing it was black. Rainbow Dash dared to get closer to the alicorn. "One does not need friends when one is jealous of others." Soon there was another voice, "You know you should really be happy for me."
Rainbow Dash saw a translucent Darkness. He walked towards Luna and said, "Luna don't let my decisions tear you apart. You have everything to live for. Me I just want to settle down have some fillies that's all. I've told you before that you're immortal and I will die of old age." Luna didn't seem happier. Rainbow Dash got closer. Soon though Darkness was standing there himself. Darkness pulled Luna off the throne and said to her, "You are the Princess of the Night, the controller of the moon. You love chocolate pudding. You hate spiders. And most of all you are the one Princess that I look up to."
Luna looked at him and said, "You're right. I am the Princess of the Night. I must fulfill my duties to the kingdom and all of Equestria." She rose from the ground she retained her colour, her mane returned to its normal self. She rose into the air what seemed to be in triumph. Darkness stood between her and Rainbow Dash and said, "Luna I know what you're thinking but don't do this you know she's pregnant." Luna descended with a dagger. "I have no choice I want you to be mine and he said you will if I do what he says." "Luna I'm warning you, Dash get Celestia I'll distract her." Rainbow Dash ran out the throne room. He smiled and said, "Let's see how you stand up to a pony like me."
He breathed in and roared at her. Rainbow Dash ran to the nearest guard and said, "Princess Luna is about to do something drastic get Celestia."
The guard nodded and ran up the stairs. Rainbow Dash heard the sound of fighting.
She ran back to the throne room and looked into it. Darkness was taking Luna on. And for a Pegasus that was near impossible. Rainbow Dash watched in awe as he faught Luna who was a Princess. Luna however caught him off guard and had him pinned against the wall by his throat. He chuckled and said, "We both know that you won't kill me for two reasons. One, you still have feelings for me and the second is..." Luna plunged the blade into him, when she removed it she saw that it was bent at the tip. He continued, "My latest transformation allowed me to have dragon tough skin." Luna tried crushing his throat, she just couldn't do it. He then chuckled again and said, "You wanna know why you can't beat me it's also because of her." Rainbow Dash turned her head to see Celestia who sealed Luna in a magic proof bubble. She also cast a sleeping spell on her.
Darkness clasped his throat and said, "Well I'll see you two soon." he then disappeared.
Celestia sighed at the sleeping Luna. She said to Rainbow Dash, "We can't have her acting out like this on the day of the wedding. I'm going to have to wipe her memories, the bad ones in recent years." She used a floating spell to bring Luna to her room. Rainbow Dash followed her in. Celestia sound proofed the room and locked the door.
She tied Luna to a chair with magic proof chains. She awakened Luna. Luna looked at her sister and asked, "Tia what are you doing?" "Forgive me sister." She pierced Luna's mind with her magic. Luna screamed in pain. Soon Rainbow Dash found herself in Luna's memories with Celestia. Celestia saw the memories about Cloud Star with her stallion, she erased them, she found the memory with the mysterious pony and erased it not knowing what it was. She erased the memory of her doing this to her."
Soon Luna was out cold. Celestia fell to the ground. Rainbow Dash checked Celestia. Celestia groaned and said, "My pills over there on my bedside table." Rainbow Dash retrieved the pills. Celestia swallowed them. She then stood up shakily. She checked her sister, she was alive. Rainbow Dash asked, "What the hell just happened?" Celestia explained, "One thousand years ago I fought Nightmare Moon. She blasted me with a beam that hit me straight in the chest. I didn't realize the effects until just a year ago.
It seemed that it was black magic." She lifted her royal attire to show a massive black mark that spreads in the veins. She continued, "If I use high levels of magic I will die. It seems to spread if my heart rate increases too much. If I have to fight in a magical duel, I will die. The pills stabilize my heart to keep me calm." Rainbow Dash thought of another problem, "We better hope for your sake that Darkness doesn't get very angry at the wedding." Celestia asked, "Why do you say that?" Rainbow Dash continued, "Darkness is kind of a Dragon." "What do you mean kind of?" asked the Princess. "Well it's more like he is one. I first saw it at his Vanhoover house."
Celestia teleported Luna to her bed. Celestia seemed interested in what Rainbow Dash had to say. "Go on tell me what happens." said the Princess. Rainbow Dash proceeded, "You see he meditates to keep himself calm. He has a very short temper, shorter than Luna's even. If he gets too angry he becomes a Dragon that's larger than this whole castle. The same can be said if he is extremely sad and angry at the same time. You see if he's sad it will turn to anger and that will turn him into a Dragon." Celestia nodded in understanding.
Rainbow Dash then continued, "Darkness has a connection to Luna somehow. Because when Darkness was a Dragon she appeared to help me. She spoke to him and he was a pony again." Celestia pulled out a book. She flipped through it. It was a list of all the ponies born in certain months and years. She searched for Luna and found her birth date.
She then found Darkness and read his birth date. She was amazed at what she found, she said, "It seems your friend Darkness has lived through the past 1000 years." Rainbow Dash looked at his name it showed that he was born 1000 years ago. "I don't understand he's only 21." said Rainbow Dash. Celestia then had an idea, "You said he's a Dragon right?" Rainbow Dash nodded. "Then that's it, he's 21 now because a thousand years in our time is 21 in a Dragon's. In fact they can live forever depending on their choices."
Rainbow Dash asked, "Then why does he have a connection to Luna?" Celestia explained, "He was born on the exact same day she was. Under the full moon." Rainbow Dash then asked again, "If he was born 1000 years ago then why does he have parents and sisters and went to school with me?" Celestia said, "Every 1000 years a Dragon's mind resets. They find a family and turn their minds so that they believe he is their son and brother."
Rainbow Dash had to know the truth, she had to ask Darkness what he really was.
A few days later...
It was a day before the wedding. The decorators had arrived. They were to decorate the great hall where the wedding is to be held. The gardens were to be where the reception is to be held. Luna was involved with hanging the banners in the garden. She remembered Cloud Star but only that they were good friends. She also remembered that she was in love with Darkness, but accepted that he was getting married. Vinyl Scratch and Octavia arrived to set up their equipment for the wedding. Rainbow Dash knew they were together, she also knew Lyra Heartstrings and Bon Bon were also in a relationship. Lyra is Cloud Star's maid of honour. Bon Bon would be a bridesmaid. Octavia would keep Rainbow Dash company. Mainly because she liked feeling her belly for the baby kicking. Lyra and Bon Bon did the same. Soon most of the female decorators were with Rainbow Dash wondering who the donor was. Rainbow Dash would never tell. The only ones who knew that; was her, Fluttershy, Cloud Star, Darkness, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Applejack.
Soon it was the day of the wedding. Paparazzi were all over the courtyard. They had heard that the prince of movies was getting married. Darkness had arrived at 5:00am that morning to be there early. Cloud Star would only be arriving two hours before the wedding. There was a lot of prep put into this. The only journalist allowed was that of the Celebrity channel. She stood on a velvet purple carpet. She had a microphone with her, "This is Serenity coming to you live from what seems to be the wedding of the century. Bigger than that of Prince Shining Armour and Princess Cadence. This is the wedding of the Prince of Movies and Three-Time PRC champion Cloud Star." Many ponies they interviewed were happy for the couple. Rainbow Dash looked out her window. There was knocking at her door. "Come in," she said. Darkness walked in. "Even when you're pregnant you look beautiful." he said, Rainbow Dash turned towards him and smiled.
He was wearing a white formal shirt with a black waistcoat over it.
She saw that he shaved for today. She walked over to him and hugged him. "Thank you for doing all of this, I'll pay you back someday." He chuckled and said, "Don't worry with my connections I pretty much spent about 1000 bits. Besides I make a lot of money."
There was a commotion outside. Darkness looked outside and saw his wife to be walking down the carpet. He turned on the TV. "So what's it like for you personally to marry the Prince of Movies?" asked Serenity. Cloud Star answered, "It's just... You can't explain it... I mean I'm just so happy right now." She then walked on into the castle followed by Twilight and Rarity. Darkness turned off the TV. Darkness turned to leave. "Wait." Rainbow Dash called to him. Darkness turned to her, "Are you a Dragon or a Pony?" she asked. Darkness asked suddenly nervous, "Why do you ask?" Rainbow Dash proceeded, "I saw when you were born. You were born a thousand years ago, but only 21 years old." Darkness sighed and said, "You should know the answer to your question then if you know how old I am." He smirked and left. Rainbow Dash had a face of shock and realization.
Soon it was time for the guests to take their seats. Rainbow Dash found her seat next to Fluttershy. Fluttershy hugged and kissed her, "It was hard to be away from you." Rainbow Dash replied, "I felt the same way." Rarity then rushed in brushing her mane.
She took her seat next to Fluttershy, then came Twilight taking her seat next to Rainbow Dash. Pinkie and Applejack took their seats as well. The rest of the guests took their seats as well. Rainbow Dash could see Spitfire the captain of the Wonderbolts a few rows behind her. Soon the groom himself walked in. Then Princess Celestia and Luna stood at the front of the hall in front of Darkness. Then at exactly 10:00 am the wedding march began with Octavia leading then Vinyl joined in. Everypony in that hall stood up to see the bride in her beautiful dress. She was walked down the aisle by one of her teammates.
Soon she stood next to Darkness. Rainbow Dash saw that these two will be perfect for each other. Celestia began, "Welcome to all on this beautiful day where we join this stallion and this mare in holy matrimony." Celestia turned to Darkness, "Do you Darkness take this mare to be your lawfully wedded wife..." "In sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live until death do you part?" continued Luna. "I do." he said.
Luna turned to Cloud Star, "Do you Cloud Star take this stallion to be your lawfully wedded husband..." "In sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live until death do you part?" continued Celestia. "I do." she replied. "Then by the power invested in me Princess Celestia," "And I Princess Luna." They said in unison, "We now pronounce you husband and wife." Darkness and Cloud Star turned to each other. Celestia continued, "You may now kiss the bride." Darkness leaned in and kissed Cloud Star, who received it with joy.
They walked back down the aisle together with paparazzi taking many photos of them together. They headed into the gardens followed by their many guests. The couple sat at a table that would seat the two princesses and the six friends. The rest of them took their seats on each side of the couple. Luna was on the right hand side of Darkness seeing how Cloud Star was to his left. Rainbow Dash was next to Luna, Fluttershy next to her and Twilight next to her. Celestia sat next to Cloud Star, with Rarity next to her, then Applejack then Pinkie Pie.
Darkness stood up with a microphone. "I would just like to say thank you all for being here. I know not all of you like me and I don't like many of you either. But the important thing is that we all learn how to get along. But most of all I'm married to this beautiful young mare who's mother is next to her other mother. Come on you two stand up show yourselves." Rainbow Dash stood up with Fluttershy. "You see that shy yellow one that's the mother of my wife. The one next to her is pregnant." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes at him. They sat back down. He continued, "The white unicorn is Rarity whose cousin is somewhere. I see you over there." He pointed to Serenity. "Anyway this wedding dress would never have been possible without that white unicorn there." Rarity stood up and received applause like Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy did. "We all know Twilight Sparkle or should I say Princess Twilight Sparkle. She did my wife's hair." Twilight stood up and received some applause. He then said, "And this fine Princess next to me is Princess Luna she's the Princess I look up to." Luna stood up and received applause as well.
He mentioned Celestia, Pinkie Pie and Applejack as well. Gifts were given to the couple.
Then the food was served. Fluttershy nudged Rainbow Dash, "Why is Luna so chilled? She's not freaking out at all." Rainbow Dash replied, "You see Celestia removed the bad memories that Luna had about Cloud Star." Fluttershy nodded in understanding. Darkness kissed Cloud Star again. Vinyl Scratch walked up to him and asked, "Do you play guitar?" Darkness chuckled and said, "No but I can sing." Soon everypony was chanting for him to sing. He gave in to the pressure. He decided to sing "She will be loved by Maroon 5" when he began singing, everyone was amazed at his voice. He sang until the whole song was done. He was applauded by everypony. He returned to his seat. Cloud Star kissed him in thanks. Luna bent over the table and asked, "Cloud may I have your permission to borrow him for a bit." Cloud Star smiled and said, "No problem."
Darkness and Luna left the table. Rainbow Dash was a bit suspicious about this whole thing. She told Cloud that she and Fluttershy needed to stretch their legs. They left the table and followed Darkness and Luna. Luna and Darkness were sitting on a bench in the garden near some roses. Darkness picked one and gave it to Luna. Luna held it and hugged him. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were hiding in a bush near the two so they could hear what they were saying. "Look I know you still love me but I'm glad to see that you're happy for me." "I know but I just want to know, are you a dragon or a pony?" Darkness chuckled and said, "You know Luna, I was born under the very same full moon you were 1000 years ago. The answer is yes I am a dragon. If I married you I would be immortal. Me marrying Cloud Star means I am mortal. Or one kiss from an immortal however means I shall be immortal." Rainbow Dash peered through the bush. Darkness leaned in. She jumped out the bushes, "What the fuck?" Darkness snapped his head around, "Oh shit. Rainbow Dash this isn't what you think."
"Oh really, then what was that talk about you living forever?" Darkness explained, "You know I'm a Dragon. I will live for ever unless I marry a mortal pony. That's why I never wanted to kiss Luna or prevent her from doing so. I don't want to live forever." Rainbow Dash was unconvinced, "Then why were you leaning in towards her?" Darkness explained yet again, "Have you ever given a friend of yours a kiss on the cheek? That's why I was leaning in. A kiss on the cheek from the Princess of The Night."
Rainbow Dash suddenly felt a pain. She groaned, then she heard a splash. Her water just broke. Darkness rushed over to her. "Rainbow Dash come on. Just breath." He turned to Luna "Let them know." Luna nodded and rushed off to the table. Darkness stood on his hind legs and picked her up. He took off for the Canterlot hospital. Rainbow Dash felt extreme pain. She did her breathing exercises. He landed and she was immediately wheeled to the delivery room. Fluttershy went after her. Darkness sat down in the waiting room. Rainbow Dash was breathing like she was told to. Fluttershy held her hoof in her own. The doctor looked and said, "Right, Rainbow Dash I need you to push." She did as instructed, "Okay again." Rainbow Dash pushed again, she panted. The Doctor then said, "Right I see the head okay one last push." Rainbow Dash pushed and screamed at the pain. But she then felt a relief. She looked down and saw distress on the doctor's face.
"What's happening?" asked Rainbow Dash. "She's not crying," Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy went into slight panic hoping that the doctor could save their child. At that moment Darkness walked in all garbed up. He said to the rest of the doctors, "Leave I'll take care of this." The doctors did as they were told. He held the baby, he looked at it. He then looked at Rainbow Dash who said, "You leave her alone." Darkness lifted one hoof, it turned into a dragon's hand. Rainbow Dash saw the claws, "Leave her alone or I'll tear your head off." Darkness ignored her, he put his hand on the baby's head, he spoke a different language, "Sher nagh. Donoritoten. Akhashieth. Separkesh." suddenly the baby began crying. He handed her to Rainbow Dash as he sat on the ground. His hand turned back into a hoof. Rainbow Dash saw her baby for the first time. She was beautiful.
She had Rainbow Dash's eyes. Her mother's pink hair and a blue coat slightly darker than Rainbow Dash's. It was a girl. She smiled at Fluttershy and said, "Here's our little Rain Star." Fluttershy let her latest daughter suck on the tip of her hoof. Soon the doctors returned and saw that the baby was fine. They then picked Darkness up, he pulled away from them and he said, "I'll get Cloud." Rainbow Dash was then wheeled to a room. Soon after that Darkness returned with his wife. She approached and gasped at the sight of her baby sister. Cloud Star held her and said, "Hey there little Rain Star, I'm Cloud Star I'm your sister. Mom she's beautiful." Fluttershy nodded so did Rainbow Dash. Soon a nurse came in and took the baby to run tests to make sure it was healthy. They were given a notepad where they would fill in the details they already knew. Darkness was still outside.
Rainbow Dash called for him to come in. Darkness walked in, Rainbow Dash sat up and said, "Thank you for saving our baby." Darkness nodded. Rainbow Dash noticed that his neck had plate scales. She also noticed that three rows of tips of spines were poking out of his shirt. She asked Fluttershy and Cloud Star to leave. She beckoned for Darkness to come closer. "Why did you do it?" Darkness replied, "Because I know you wanted this ever since you married Fluttershy. I couldn't bear to see you so sad over this. So I sacrificed some of my own power that makes me a pony to give her life." Rainbow Dash hugged him and said, "I'm sorry for giving you shit about you and Luna." Darkness shook his head and said, "You don't need to apologize for anything." He then slowly walked over to a chair and sat on it. He sat down and said, "When you're around for a thousand years you learn a few things. Even how to give strength to one who needs it."
Then the rest walked into the room to see Rainbow Dash.
Cloud Star sat next to Darkness who still had his spines sticking out of his shirt.
His eyes hadn't changed back into what they were before the incident. The scars had healed but that was it. Soon Rainbow Dash left the hospital with her new baby and Fluttershy. They all returned to their homes. Rainbow Dash held the baby until she fell asleep. Rainbow Dash placed her into the crib and went to join Fluttershy in their bed.
"What a day. Cloud Star married and our baby born." said Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy said, "The reason she's got pink hair is because the Doctor took one of my eggs mixed with Darkness' DNA and then injected it into you." Rainbow Dash nodded and said, "I know, that could be the only possible explanation." They fell asleep together.
BOOOOOOOM!
Rainbow Dash woke up. She ran over to the window, she saw missiles being shot at Ponyville. She told Fluttershy, "Take the baby." Fluttershy picked up the baby and ran out the house. Rainbow Dash flew out the window to figure out what was happening. She saw many ponies fleeing the scene. She also saw many bodies as she got closer to where the missiles were being shot. She hovered to see that the hospital was on fire. She saw the trail of a bullet whizz past her head. She began dodging the bullets being shot at her. She flew back towards the tree then she felt extreme pain. She then plummeted into the tree. The hooded pony pulled out an RPG and fired at the house. It went up in flames. Rainbow Dash was then under a piece of burning wood. She looked down to see that she was bleeding from the chest. She was pinned. She tried standing up but collapsed again.
She had to fight for Fluttershy and her daughter. She then heard the sounds of hoof steps on the wooden floor. She saw a pony walking towards her, he was hooded. He unhooked a pair of wings from his belt. She recognized them from anywhere they were Gilda's. The pony pulled out what seemed to be a hatchet clearly blunt. She struggled. It was no use.
Suddenly there was a roar. Rainbow Dash knew it from one pony. Suddenly the roof was torn off the house. Rainbow Dash saw the pony opening fire upwards. She then saw a massive hand smack him into the wall. She then felt the weight being lifted off of her. She then saw that she was in the air. She then blacked out.
She sat up breathing heavily. She felt a pain in her chest. She then heard speaking. She walked over to a door. "That was a risk I was willing to take." "Dammit Darkness you can't just do that. You could have killed her in the process." Rainbow Dash pressed her ear against the door. "Luna you know that I have to save her. I don't want to lose her."
"I don't know what you see in her. You should be with me. We were destined to be together. After all you were born under the same full moon I was born under." Rainbow Dash pushed the door open to find Princess Luna and Darkness standing at a table.
Darkness noticed her and said, "You're awake. Good to see." Rainbow Dash asked straight away, "Where's Fluttershy and my baby?" Darkness replied, "Fluttershy gave Luna the baby, she's safe here. Fluttershy however was captured." Rainbow Dash stumbled over to the table and said, "We have to get her back." She noticed that Darkness was under a hood. Rainbow Dash saw a crib and walked over to it to see that her baby was safe like Darkness said. Darkness and Luna continued their argument. "If you don't like it, I'll just get help from your sister." said Darkness.
"You know what will happen the next time you transform. You won't be with her. You might as well kiss me now and get it over with."replied Luna. "I'll control myself like I just did to save Rainbow Dash. As long as nothing happens to Cloud Star I'll be fine."
Rainbow Dash turned around and asked, "Wait? You're going to save Cloud Star?"
"Yes I am," replied Darkness. "But what about Fluttershy?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I have a choice on who to save. And I want my wife back in my hooves. You can save your own." Luna replied to him this time, "You don't care for others you only care about yourself just because you don't want to be immortal." "Yes fine... Yes I only want her so I'm not lonely with my mortal life right now. I don't want to be immortal, I want to grow old and die. It's a curse to be me right now." replied Darkness. Rainbow Dash heard the anger in his voice. Luna continued, "You have another choice. You and I. We can live together forever and have children together. Just kiss me and it's done." "ENOUGH!" he shouted. He growled after the statement. The baby began to cry. Rainbow Dash cuddled it. "It's okay Rain Star. Shhh I'm here it's okay." The baby calmed down again.
Darkness walked over to her and explained, "I can see into the future. But only glimpses like visions. And I have a choice on who to save. I can either save Fluttershy or Cloud Star from execution. If I save Fluttershy, you will be happy and live a long life with her and your child at the expense of Cloud, I will kiss Luna and live eternally. If I save her instead, I go on to live with her until the end of our days. But I don't know which one I save all I know is that that's the choice I must make." Rainbow Dash looked at Luna and said, "I want to save Fluttershy and you can save Cloud Star." Darkness shook his head and said, "I've seen what happens then as well I will either be immortal or mortal."
Rainbow Dash told him straight, "Save Fluttershy for me. For her." She was referring to Cloud Star. Darkness told her, "I can't promise anything. I will make my own decision when the time comes."
"If I choose Fluttershy then I'll kiss Luna to be immortal. If I choose Cloud Star then I'll leave to the far mountains with her." he then turned away from her. Rainbow Dash called to him, "Pull the cloak down and show me your face." Darkness turned back around. He pulled the hood of the cloak down. She saw the eyes of a Dragon like she had seen before. He massive spikes coming out of neck. His teeth were those of a Dragon's. The back spines were larger than before. His wings were like a Dragon's. He then left the room.
Luna walked over to her and said, "He hasn't made up his mind up. We don't know who's he gonna save." Rainbow Dash looked down at her baby and said, "I know who he's going to choose." Luna and Rainbow Dash took turns on taking care of the baby. They rarely saw Darkness. Rainbow Dash found him once when he was crying. She approached him. He sobbed, he was holding a picture of Cloud Star and him they took together on the red carpet. Rainbow Dash put a hoof on his shoulder, "You decide on what makes you happy not what makes others happy." Darkness turned and said, "Maybe it's best to let her go." Rainbow Dash was saddened and said, "Darkness you choose Cloud Star, I'm sure Fluttershy will be happy with your choice. Save Cloud Star go live in Vanhoover away from all of this. I'll be fine, I have Rain Star to keep me company."
Darkness stood up and said, "I'll make the decision when the time comes but for now I will save Cloud Star."
