Chapter 11 - A Midnight Encounter

PONYVILLE LIBRARY

It's been a week since Jackie was let out of the hospital appearently they put a cast on his wing's and The Darkness said it will take quite a while for him to reform his wing's after the gruesome battle with one of The Darknesses top torturers...Agorn. Everypony is rather scared of Agorn due to the fight that destroyed a few building's and left several crater's which were patched up easily but one night there was a unexpected intruder while Jackie was in his room recovering.

Jackie*: So tell me again why it will take a few more week's to restore my wing's

The Darkness*: Since Agorn is the brute force type i gotta reforge your skin and then your blood cell's it isn't easy you know!

Jackie*: You patched my head when i shot myself so explain that.

The Darkness*: I worked fast since you were in Darkness.

Jackie*: Agh i am going to sleep and for fuck's sake do not wake me up your idea of an alarm clock was terrible.

The Darkness*: Heh i remember that i screamed in your ear and you got your head stuck in the ceiling.

Jackie*: Goodnight...Jackass

Jackie goes to his bed and tries to ignore the pain he feel's in his wing's. Meanwhile Twilgiht is downstair's doing the usual study session's while the Dark Minion is hanging upside down on a bookshelve while trying to read a book.

Minion: How do you read this blasted book anyway?

Twilight: Turn it the otherway around.

Minion: Ahh now i see...Hmm nope doesn't make any sense *He throw's the book out the window and it hit's a cat*

Twilight: HEY! don't just throw em away!

Minion: Don't care for literature anyway so what you studying Sparkle-Butt?

Twilight: 1. My name is Twilight Sparkle not Sparkle-Butt and 2. i am looking up what Dark Heart fought and the Beast of the Everfree.

Minion: You know your looking at one of em Monkey fought.

Twilight: Oh well what did he fight then?

Minion: Dark Minion's that are part of The Lord of Darknesses Army a bunch of evil minion's like me.

Twilight: Aren't you evil aswell?

Minion: Hah! i may look like em but i just like to annoy Monkey and besides i am his personal minion.

Twilight: How large is this Army anyway?

Minion: Hmm about 50 billion strong and it grow's every second.

Twilight: 50 billion...Sweet Celestia that is alot.

Minion: He only fought 2000 of us we don't die actually once we get killed we just get sent back to the Dark Land's.

Twilight: Another thing one of em was completely different he had cut's and scythe like appendages on him what was he?

Minion: Haha that must've been Agorn The Dicer Monkey must've activated the Trial Of Torment.

Twilight: "Agorn The Dicer" who is that? and what is "Trial Of Torment"?

Minion: Agorn The Dicer is one of The Darknesses many Torturer's he is actually an experiment that successfully went well i sometimes annoyed him but we got along fine.

Twilight: *Gulp* i would'nt wanna fight him.

Minion: You would'nt want to trust me and The Trial Of Torment is Agorn's trial whoever summon's it is met with a small army of us Dark Minion's and then Agorn i dunno why but there was something missing in the Trial.

Twilight: What was missing?

Minion: Well during the Trial Of Torment large crosses appear with tormented ponies nailed to it while screaming from the eternal torment he also has his very own tower which somehow didn't arrive probably because a Blood Red Eclipse didn't happen.

Twilight: What's a blood red Eclipse?

Minion: A Blood Red Eclipse signal's the arrival of destruction the end of all thing's which is where The Darknesses true form takes place. Now he can either summon one of the trial tower's or transform he usually transform's when it is time.

Twilight: Time for what? and what is his transformation?

Minion: The End of creation itself. And his transformation is the most horrifying sight ever he transform's into The Dragon of Destruction the most terrifying form ever it is the size of that city's mountain he is unkillable trust me many have died to fight him.

Twilight: And what is the Beast of the Everfree?

Minion: That Sparkle-Butt is The Darkness.

Twilight: T...th...That is The Darkness!?

Minion: Yes it is him.

Twilight: Is he defeatable?

Minion: Sorry Sparkle-Butt but i cannot speak anymore.

Twilight: Why!?

Minion: Well The Darkness hates it when his Dark Minion's talk about him.

Twilight: I better let the Princess know of this.

Minion: No you cannot tell her.

Twilight: But why? This Darkness is a threat to Equestria.

Minion: Don't trust me if you tell your Princess about this he will go after you and everypony you ever loved he is a neutral evil like me he only hunt's if necessary.

Twilight: But what about Nightmare Moon he killed her infront of our own eyes!

Minion: She must've either tresspassed in his territory, was a threat to him or she was on his list.

Twilight: *Sighs* very well i won't tell her but you know i gotta tell her someday.

Minion: Alright well i gotta head back to The Dark Land's see ya Sparkle-Butt.

The Dark Minion jump's into the Darkness Portal and vanishes with the portal aswell.

Twilight: What a day i best go to bed.

As Twilight goes past Jackie's room she hears some quiet crying from Jackie's room and being worried of her friend she enter's his room and see's pitch blackness.

The Darkness*: Hm? oh this mare what does she want?

Twilight get's closer to Jackie and she see's he has been crying as his bed is wet with tear's and she hear's him saying one word over and over.

Jackie:...Jenny...Jenny.

Jenny? Who is Jenny which Twilight ponder's about. She is thinking about entering Jackie's dream's to see if he is ok but she know's it is against a pony's privacy.

Twilight*: I can't enter his mind what would he say!? He will get mad at me oh what will Princess Celestia say? No she would do the same i gotta try and see what is wrong.

The Darkness*: This mare is upto something i could come out and spear her heart but i am curious of what she is doing.

Twilight focuses her horn and concentrates on the mind entering spell to enter Jackie's subconscious and put's it near his head and closes her eyes.

The Darkness*: Ahh she is entering his mind hehe she want's to find out what is going on? she will get it.

JACKIE'S DREAMSCAPE/HELL

Twilight wakes up and look's around and see's the most terrifying landscape ever. She see's a dark and terrifying sky with red lightning and the ground is made out of volcanic rock and she see's mountain's in the distance pouring lava onto the ground below and around her she see's crosses with ponies nailed to them while screaming from the pain with the nail's stuck in their hooves with blood coming out of the wound's and looking around more she see's ghastly tree's that have been burned and are leeking blood. This is truly the most horrifying place ever it is even more horrifying than Tartarus.

Twilight: Is this Dark Heart's Mind!?

In the distance Twilight can see a rather large structure and goes toward's it. As Twilight reaches it she see's it is rather ghastly the wall's have skull's on them with chain's dangling down while pouring both blood and lava out and below the castle is a seemingly bottomless pit that must go on neverending. The tower's that are connected to the castle are floating with a rather crystal stone with ominous magic inside of em and dangling outside of them is cages with ponies inside of them speared and not moving. Above the castle lies a rather large vortex thing that goes directly toward's the castle. The castle has a drawbridge which has skull's and chains adorning it along with spike's aswell.

Twilight: This must be where Dark Heart must be but how do i get in?

Suddenly on cue the Drawbridge lower's and drop's down infront of Twilight giving her quite a scare. She look's up and feel's a ominous pressence almost like she is being watched and goes over the Drawbridge and enter's the castle unaware that a evil being has been watching her.

The Darkness: That is right unicorn step into the castle for i will be glad to deal with you.

As Twilight goes through the front the gate suddenly slam's shut along with a door closing aswell which makes Twilight trapped in the castle.

Twilight: Great i am trapped i must find Dark Heart.

Twilight's looks around and find's out that she is in a great hall but with rather sinister looking pillar's with cryptic design's on them and in the hall is fountain's of pony's standing with blood coming out of their chest constantly. She look's around and she also see's some sinister suit's of armor and when she look's ahead she see's a portrait of Dark Heart.

Twilight: Is this really Dark Heart's destiny? is he really a evil pony?

Suddenly Twilight look's below the portal and see's a ghastly sight. She see's a large black pony sporting some sinister looking wing's and a horn with 3 mini horn's pointing at it and what scares her the most is that he also has 2 snake like head's poking out along with sinister tentacles...This is The Darkness.

The Darkness: Greeting's Unicorn

Twilight: Who...Who are you!?

The Darkness: I am surprised that you do not know who i am afterall you have seen me only once before when i killed that Griffin.

Twilight: *Gulp* Your the Beast of The Everfree.

The Darkness: Ahh how nice of you to notice me yes i am the Beast of the Everfree.

Twilight: Who are you really!?

The Darkness disppear's in a cloud of smoke and appear's next to Twilight giving her a scream of fear.

The Darkness: Hehehehe didn't my Dark minion tell you who i was?

Twilight's skin turn's a ghostly pale of recognising him.

Twilight: You're The Darkness.

The Darkness: Indeed i am now you are probably wondering why i am in Dark Heart's Mind?

Twilight: Yes i am

The Darkness: It is because i am part of him.

Twilight: WHAT!?

The Darkness: Indeed now i will allow you to ask 3 question's and then you will leave.

Twilight: How are you part of him?

The Darkness: Dark Heart's family is cursed during a war i took control of his great grandfather and slaughtered thousand's and when he was about to die i went to the fool's child and then i did it again and the cycled continued until i hit Dark Heart.

Twilight: How old are you?

The Darkness: 6 Millenia

Twilight: 6...6 Millenia so you are a-

The Darkness: Yes i am a god and be glad i have not killed you yet.

Twilight: Why did you come to Equestria?

The Darkness: That i will not answer and you just wasted a question but i will let that one slide...for now.

Twilight: Will you harm other ponys?

The Darkness: If they make my host mad or when they tick me off and when i get angry Dark Heart cannot control me. Now you are finished speaking you must leave *A Darkness Portal appear's behind him*

Twilight: But wait how will you know i won't tell the Princess about this?

The Darkness: Because if you do then i will kill you and besides while we were speaking i snuck a little curse on you.

Twilight: c...Curse?

The Darkness: Look at your hoof.

Twilight look's at her hoof and she see's a symbol of a Darkness head staring at her.

The Darkness: This seal will be my ear's near you and cannot be undone so should you blab to anypony about this it will inject you with a lethal poison that will kill you in 1 hour but if they find out on their own the seal will break and the curse will vanish.

Twilight: *Gulp* i understand

The Darkness: Oh and if you speak to Dark Heart about this i will kill you Equine and if you wish to ask a question then you will need to play a game when you come here again.

Twilight: What's the game?

The Darkness: Heheheh i will tell you when you return Goodbye Twilight Sparkle.

As Twilight goes through the portal The Darkness gives off a rather evily laugh that echoes throughout Jackie's Mind.
