Chapter 9
The Unmoveable Pony
The group made a pit stop in the Crystal Empire for supplies to make the climb up Mount Everhoof, when they were ready to go they met at the crystal castle heading north but not so far that they passed through Whinnypeg, because Mount Everhoof hides Whinnypeg from the rest of Equestria. When they all were ready they went to the base of Mount Everhoof and started climbing.
When they were halfway up the mountain they finally started to see minotaur hoof prints in the snow mixed with pony hoof prints, as they got higher up the mountain there were more and more hoof prints. Then at three quarters of the way up they found a cave with a pegasus stallion that had a coat as white as the snow that was around them, with his mane and tail being a very slightly darker shade of the same white. His cutie mark was a great fortress with a smiley face on it. When he spoke, his voice was sure and without falter, he said to them "I know exactly why you are all here, but there is a darkness that I had hoped would never return, am I right Art Blueprint or should I say Flare Blitz!"
At that moment Flare said still in Art's form "How could you possibly think that I would ever let him out again," faking hurt.
"Well then let's see you in your dragon form."
"Why what will that prove?"
"It will prove that it really is Art in control and not Flare Blitz." he seethed.
Then Flare started laughing at first it sounded innocent but then as it went on it started to sound more and more maniacal before turning into a full on evil laugh, then Flare revealed his true form, his eyes became red, the scales that were red for Striker became black as the night sky and the scales that were supposed to be aqua blue were now blood red and said in a more serpentine like voice "I suppose it's pointless trying to hide it from you Shane, yes I am in control of that weak stallion you know as Art Blueprint and I am his dark side known as Flare Blitz but you may call me YOUR DESTROYER!" Then he attacked them starting with Rainbow Dash.
When Flare charged at Rainbow, she flied as fast as she could aiming for his head but Flare saw her punch coming, then just before she got to him Flare broke and stabbed both her wings drawing blood, in one fluid motion he slammed her face into the hard rock floor leaving her unconscious and badly wounded, Flare's next target was Rarity.
Twilight quickly whispered to Shane and Applejack "If you two distract Flare while I get Rainbow got it."
"Got it," replied Shane and AJ in unison. Then Twilight's plan was put into motion in order to fight Flare, Shane changed into a minotaur with the top half and tail being yellow and the bottom half and tip of his tail being neon green, and AJ was galloping along side him.
When Flare noticed this he turned and said "So, Enigma, Applejack you two want to die then bring it on." he finished talking Flare extended his claws.
Just before they clashed Spike blew a huge breath of fire between them and both sides stopped to turn and look at him. When all three of them were looking at him, he said "AJ, Enigma stop I'm going to fight him and don't try to talk me out of it because you won't. Please just protect the others, I'm going to keep him busy."
The mane 6 all gasped minus Rainbow Dash because she was still unconscious, just when Rarity was about to try to convince Spike to not fight him, Jo cut her off by saying "Rarity don't even try to stop him just look at the fire in his eyes, none of us could stop him even if we tried, that is the fire of someone who is willing to risk his life for those they care about. The only other being that I have ever seen that same fire burn is Art or Striker other than that I have never seen that fire burn in anyone else." Then Rarity looked at Spike's eyes and saw something that she had never seen in the dragon the ferocity of a wild dragon. All the while Twilight was getting Rainbow to a safe distance, she gasped in horror at the state that Rainbow was in, on her forehead she had a gash that stretched across half of it. Rainbow also had a double bleeding nose, because her nose broke when she was smashed into the floor, face first by Flare. She had ten broken ribs and instead of her wings just being broken they were smashed to bits with blood just pouring out of the claw wounds left by Flare.
When Spike chanced a glance at Twilight and saw that she frozen with fear, to snap her out of her fear induced trans he roared "TWILIGHT GET THEM OUT OF HERE NOW OR ELSE ALL OF YOU WILL DIE!" Then Twilight snapped to attention and Spike's words registered in her head.
"But what about you Spike we're not leaving without you." Twilight said worriedly while she charged her horn to teleport them away.
"Sorry but you have no say in this matter." Spike said before he blasted them with a breath of fire. "Stay safe."
"You are a fool Spike it doesn't matter what they do as long as I am in control of Striker there's nothing they can do to stop the power of darkness from claiming Equestria, NOTHING!" Flare roared.
"Really Striker."
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Flare screamed in pain while holding his head. "I'm going to put you in the darkest dungeon in my majesty's castle and you will never see your friends again, besides when I stabbed Rainbow Dash I inserted the nightmare virus into her bloodstream and so slowly but surely she will become a nightmare. It's the very same thing that turned Princess Luna and your beloved Rarity into Nightmare Moon and Nightmare Rarity."
In Flare's mind
"Yes I've finally regained some control over my body," exclaimed Striker excitedly.
Outside Flare's mind
Then Flare ensnared Spike in ropes made of pure darkness and left in search of his master the dark Prince Necro.
