Chapter 10:Heavy Vs The Past
It was down to this, as Heavy Weight himself had ran down the hallways of Canterlot high school, he was being driven by the sounds and and feels going through his mind as he felt Twilight currently fighting for her life, and he was ready to protect her. He rounded a corner to see the main doors down another hall way, and as he took off towards them, he was also being followed by none other than his former sibling student Sunset Shimmer. She herself and her friend Rarity who had tagged along followed him and were confused to the point of grave concern as they struggled to keep up with Heavy.
Even when Heavy was new to their human world, he appeared to have adjusted easily to walking on two legs, for he was out running the girls with little to no effort, the fear of Twilight getting hurt by this unidentified foe was driving him insane. His sanity itself was already fragile enough as it is thanks to the past pains he felt, especially by the magic and cruel grip of his own teacher. So helped Heavy that if that's who had arrived, he was not going to be responsible for what he does, but he would be thrown into the pits of Tartarus if he would let Celestia do to Twilight what she once did to him.
Heavy put his hands down and with an accidental over use of power and a grunt, he accidentally slammed through the doors and even knocked one off it's hinges, sending it soaring into the sky as he jumped from the first step. His breath was heavy and fast, panic rushed through his mind as he suddenly heard Twilight shouting and attacking inside his head and using immense amounts of magic. It started to make his head hurt a little bit as he held his flaming head with one hand in hopes to end the pain, but Twilight's voice had then gave him a vital piece of info, and the info made his eyes widened with disbelief and deep anger.
"I won't let you take him back Celestia! You have done enough harm to him! I WON'T LET YOU!"Twilight's voice echoed loudly in Heavy's head, sending his mind into a tail spin of possible madness.
"He is still MY student Twilight! You cannot keep what belongs to me, I am your superior,"Came the yells of the mare he had hoped never to hear again,"YOU WILL SUBMIT OR YOU WILL BE DEALT WITH!"
"NO...! No...! Get out of my head...! STOP TALKING TO ME! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE...!"Heavy suddenly shouted out loud as the shocking pain and memories of Celestia's torment came rushing back into his mind.
Heavy suddenly fell to his knees as he looked to the mirror where he first arrived from, his mind had suddenly fought against him as he shut his eyes and began to hear the screaming of his own younger voice echo through his head, it was a scream of great pain. The constant zapping of the spell that sent volts of electricity into his head and fried his brain was renewed and intensified, Heavy's teeth crushed together in nonstop anguish at the memory of his mentors torment, he felt a sense of hate begin to mix within. He wanted to foam at the mouth with his hate, the chains he felt were actually there again, he felt he could not move even though they truly weren't there any more, yet there constriction was very much still alive in him.
With both hands now gripping his head in an urgency to stop the pain he slowly struggled to get to his feet, and with each attempt his legs wobbled like a new born foal, and it seemed like he was never going to get up, and he was never going to brave this pain. It was then that he felt the warm and hand of savior grip his hand, a small gentle, and very warm hand grip his own and pull him to his feet, and at the same time, his headache had also began to subside. His vision was then suddenly came back and started as a blur of orange, but as it came into focus, he could finally see a worried Sunset Shimmer with her deep red and orange hair blowing in the wind.
Silence took over as Rarity watched from the top of the stairs and bear witnessed to this, Sunset was now standing at Heavy's side and was deeply concerned for him, after seeing him on the verge of going insane, she knew there was more to Heavy's past than he let on. She held his hand and they looked into his eyes to see the fear and the calmness that finally took place within his body, Heavy finally took in a deep breath and released before their hands parted ways, but Sunset wanted answers now.
"I'm sorry... I was just experiencing some... Issues... I had some bad migraines and they were making me a bit-"Heavy started before Sunset suddenly silenced him with a hand over his mouth.
"I wanna know what the hay went on after I left, something bad must have happened if you're having issues with your mind,"Sunset said with a firm yet concerned look that demanded the truth,"I want to know what happened between you, Twilight, and princess Celestia...!"
Heavy closed his eyes and sloly began to walk towards the portal, but he was then grabbed by the arm by Sunset, clearly she had grown to be confident and fearless to all matters of danger, even the danger of angering Heavy himself. He opened his eyes and turned to her as she then let him go and crossed her arms in the form of a demand and a stubborn show of desire to learn more of her friends past.
"Celestia was out of control... She did things to me when my anger got out of control... It was...bad,"Heavy explained with deep breaths that gave his pain away to Sunset,"Twilight saw it... And... She didn't know what to do... The chains... The magical shocks I just... I..."
"Heavy...? Heavy...?! Take an easy and calm down...!"Sunset said as she saw Heavy threatening to fall to his knees again as he could hear his younger self scream.
"I'm sorry... She wrapped me in a magical chain spell, and she performed magical shock therapy... To try and control my anger,"Heavy said in a shaky and unstable tone,"so many shocks... hehe...! The chains that restrict me...! My head hurting every time...!"
Sunset suddenly widened her eyes at the sight of Heavy looking like he was going to break down and go into a state of pure madness, never did she think she could see the toughest pony she had ever known shatter and lose his mind like this. She placed a hand on his back to give comfort as he then felt the warmth of Sunset's care make his pounding head cease and his legs regain hs strength, he then stood up and began to breath more stable like as he felt sunset hug him with deep care. In return he hugged her back and finally felt a bit peaceful in time, and that's when he knew what he had to do if he ever wanted this pain to stop, he had to face his past, and he had to conquer it, he must face Celestia.
"Look... I have to go for now Sunset... There's something I need to face over there in Equestria,"Heavy stated while he turned to the portal that glowed and glimmer with Equestria's magic,"I need to face my past if I'm ever to be freed from it...! I have to do this...!"
"Are you sure you want to do this...! If what you say is true... There's no telling what she might do to you...!"Sunset warned while Heavy looked to the ground before he then suddenly smiled to her.
"I know... But I love Twilight so much... She was willing to do anything it took to save me from a dark side of myself,"Heavy explained further to a very heart melted Sunset as his fiery hair blew in the wind,"She helped you too, I know that for a fact, and now I must help her as she had helped me see the bright side of things...! Just like I see the bright side of you Sunset..."
His smile and his sudden compliment to her made Sunset's heart want to explode and force her actions to the point of hugging him, her cheeks were flushed with red as she felt her body get weak with sudden emotional feelings towards Heavy. She wanted to be there for him, but a sly body gesture by Heavy sent a signal to her, telling her that she had to remain here for now, for Heavy still had deep fears for this place. It was very vulnerable to any magical enemies of Equestria, they needed some one or some pony to defend them while he was away, but now this world would forever be of great interest to Heavy Weight as he turned back to the portal.
"Take good care of this place Sunset... I'll visit you again some other time,"Heavy said before he turned to her one last time and stared into her eyes with twinkling stars in his own,"And Sunset... Thank you for being okay, and being there for me..."
It was then that Heavy surprised her further by suddenly grabbing her by her arm and pulling her in for a sudden big hug that was warm and overwhelming to her and it made her heated with passion she never thought could be possible with Heavy. To think that Twilight was now with this more gentle and much better Heavy Weight was like a dream come true, if only she could have shared this moment with Twilight, if only she hadn't have left that day. If only she could go with him now, but it was clear that this was his issue that he needed to work out, but as she watched him slowly walk to the portal to leave, she placed a hand over her heart, and symbolically promised to protect this world, and it was continuing to melt her heart.
All she could do is wave to Heavy as he slowly went through the portal and left her to guard this world with her life, finally once everything was silent once more, there was only one thing she could say at this time.
"Good bye Heavy Weight... Please visit soon..."Sunset breathed out before she let out a deep breath and returned to a very concerned Rarity.
The journey was only taking a few seconds, but to Heavy Weight it felt like the journey back to Ponyville was taking forever, and the anticipation for what lied ahead of him was making him nervous and even threatened to make him sweat. There was serious trouble awaiting him back in Equestria, Celestia was in Ponyville and she was fighting Twilight, it kind of surprised Heavy to see Twilight willing to attack their mentor to defend him, it made him blush with great affection for her. However this wasn't her fight and she shouldn't have to fight for him when he is more than capable of handling any enemy, even if it was their teacher, the princess and goddess of the sun.
All this potential danger was killing him, he didn't even think of the pain and the voices that traveled through his head as he went through the tunnel of rainbow magic that moved him in a swirly form that spiraled through the void to his home. His ice blue eyes were lit up with rainbow colors and bright sparkling stars in his eyes, the magics of this dimensional portal was staggering and confusing at first, but not any more. Magic was without end no matter how mysterious and unpredictable it can be, that's a lesson he knew all too well from the past, and it had guided him to create so many new things with his own.
Finally the moment he was waiting for as he looked to an opening in the void that lead back to his world, his eyes widened with deep excitement and a bit of nervousness within himself, for he was surely walking right into a big problem. However Twilight needed him, and he was not going to let her down as he quickly in a dimensional shift of magic, he morphed back into his pony form and narrowed his eyes to the target and flapped his wings to gain more speed. He reached with his hooves as he closed his eyes and squeezed right through the opening and quickly landed on his hooves on the other side of the mirror, at last he was back in Equestria, and it was quiet.
He was now in the rainbow castle's library once more, it was dark with the curtains to the windows blocking out the greatly lit day, it was quiet and it only complimented the dark, but it only filled Heavy with a feeling of negative foreboding for this place. He quickly flashed his horn up with magic and forced the curtains to once again open to let the sun shine in, and he went to the closest window to look out and see if he could find Twilight. It was then that he did indeed find something, but it wasn't the beautiful face of Twilight, it was a town that appeared to be in the midst of a serious situation, and ponies were running scared, Heavy looked around with fear building in his body.
He opened the window to look out and feel a sudden breeze blow over his face and through his fiery mane, and that's when a sudden explosion of gold and purple magic had suddenly went off to his right before he saw two figures in the distance. He tried to zero in on the two figures he saw, but he had no time to worry about what was here, for he was then suddenly fighting for his life as two large fore arms suddenly wrapped around him.
"I GOT HIM! I have found and secured Heavy Weight! Send word to princess Celestia at once!"called Heavy's sudden captor who wore Canterlot royal guard armor, now Heavy understood what was going on.
Heavy struggled a bit before his face got serious, and with it, his actions did as well as he bent his head forward and smashed the back of his head straight into the face of the guard who dared to try and take him by surprised. The guards helmet flew off and was left with a broken muzzle as Heavy turned round and delivered a fury of jabs to the gut and finally two jabs to the jaw and muzzle. Blood leaked from the injured guards nose before Heavy jumped, brought his back hooves to the front and gave him a good kick right into the book shelf with a loud crash and making it tremble before piles of books piled on top of the guard, burying him in a sea of knowledge.
Heavy then stood there and looked to the unconscious guard before he turned to the entrance into the castle hall ways and lit up his eyes before his body glowed with it and he was suddenly speeding through the hall way at incredible speeds.
"What the hay is going on here...! What is that crazy mare trying to do...? Is she trying to actually capture me,"Heavy asked himself in deep foreboding fear as he stopped at Twilight's room,"Why can't she leave me alone...! W-why must Twilight have to suffer for my sake,why is this happening...?!"
Heavy swung Twilight's door open and looked around the bedroom, a big bed for her and a slightly smaller one for Spike, but they were not there, it was safe to assume now that Twilight was fighting this battle and it filled Heavy with only fear and conflicted feelings. Heavy could barely stand this as he took off through the halls again desperate to find some pony or even Spike for that matter, just some pony to tell him what was going on, and how this chaos could have happened. It was then that he would get his answer, for as he neared the main hall and the big door that lead outside, he suddenly saw all of Twilight's friends and to his surprise, princess Luna, the princess of the night and Celestia's younger sister going to the door as well.
With a flash of his blue eyes imbued with magic he felt the nerves of the mares through his magic and verified fear and great worry in each step they took, it was clear they understood what was going on, and they could fill him in on what he missed. Another flash of magic around his body and Heavy suddenly bolted down the stairs and had already passed by the mares before he came to a complete stop right at the door just in time for Luna to run right into him. Heavy held firm and barely moved while Luna bounced back and fell onto her back and laid there momentarily before shaking off the blow just in time to see Heavy Weight himself, while Twilight's friends on the other hoof gasp in both shock and relief to see him again.
"Heavy Weight! Well boy are we glad to see you here, we could REALLY use yer help!"Applejack exclaimed while Rarity politely helped Luna back to her hooves.
"Does some pony here want to tell what the hat happened here or what! I leave for a few hours and all Tartarus breaks loose,"Heavy yelled as explosions are heard from outside the castle,"So who wants to fill me in so I can go deal with this myself hmm!"
"Please...! Allow me to fill you in young stallion, I'm afraid we haven't properly met yet,"Came the voice of Luna that switched Heavy's sights to her as she dared to come closer,"My name is Luna, but you know that already I take it, me and my sister had arrived here not long ago to meet with Twilight and her friends...! We were meant to only speak with her on the matters with this new enemy, and perhaps speak of you to her in private..."
"Yeah... And how exactly did that happen princess Luna...?! Please do tell me...!"Heavy mocked, for he did not trust Luna in the slightest.
"Look. I am not your enemy here, it is my sister who wanted you captured and brought back to Canterlot, not me,"Luna defended while Heavy suddenly let a sharp gasp of fear leave his lips and compliment wide eyes,"Yes...! My sisters real plan was to bring you home to Canterlot, and capture you if necessary, but princess Twilight would not allow her...!"
Heavy was already putting the pieces all together, but it was still breath taking and a shock for him to accept that Twilight was now fighting a pony with thousands of years of experience, and has been their teacher for the longest time. He needed to help her, as much as he did have faith in her, he could not risk Twilight getting hurt just to protect him, he needed to fight his own battles , not her, finally he could not listen to Luna any more and slammed his hooves down. The loud crash of his hooves silenced the ponies in an instant and they watched Heavy looking at them with a very keen and serious look that hid the pain that was growing in his head once more.
"That's enough! I won't let this continue any more, this is my fight, not Twilights! She doesn't deserve to suffer like this,"Heavy yelled to brave the pain in his head and to make the group understand,"I'm going out there! I'm putting an end to this! One way or another I will STOP THIS!"
"You're a fool for thinking you can get into this and just end it like that Heavy Weight, do you remember who it is you are dealing with,"Luna's voice made Heavy stop before he could move towards the door while his ears perked,"My sister is not without skill of her own, I have fought side by side with her in great battles for thousand of years! And even with the powers of darkness I could not best her...! What chance do you think YOU will have against her!"
"Please...! Don't try and intimidate me or scare me with your immortal and ancient ways,"Heavy spat as he looked to the corner of his eye to glare at Luna,"You be surprised what I have done for this world! I'm the one with the experience of true pain, and unlike your SISTER...! I have no problem killing my foe...!"
Luna could only gasp and stare in shock to the stallion before Heavy swung open the doors and ran outside, leaving an astonished Luna in the dust while the rest of the mane six chose to follow him into the middle of the carnage. The light of the sun slowed them down as they stepped outside, but their eyes adjusted and the town was visible, and it looks like there wasn't too much damage done to it in the fight so far, but this was far from the end. Twilight and Celestia were clashing, and the result of friction and conflict caused disharmony through the town as ponies ran scared of their princesses of friendship and the sun.
They flew through the town and crossed their glowing horns of purple and gold, stabbing the sky and threatening to stir the clouds into a storm before they finally then smashed heads and sent themselves flying back to access their damage. Scratched, battered, and bruised, and yet these mares did not flinch and were not giving an inch to the other, Celestia then fired three separate shots of her magic, two from the sides that would curve to the left and right while the center would take her head on. Twilight was clever, and a shield rather than a frontal assault to Celestia herself, and with that quick thought, a shield of purple surrounded her and was ready to protect her.
The three shots exploded against the shield from both angles as smoke surrounded Twilight cutting off her vision and turning the advantage to Celestia as the princess of the day raised her horn to the sun and began to pull in the sun's very rays and heat into herself. Her body then began to glow before a narrow blast of magic in the form of a golden arrow had suddenly shot from her horn and carried sparkling gold essence behind it before it clashed with Twilight's shield. The arrow did not even stop as it punctured through Twilight's protective shield of magic just enough for a blast of magic to then come soaring in and strike Twilight directly in her chest, she yelped and flew back, but remained strong while her chest began to smoke.
"You're not going to take him...! I won't let you! I WON'T!"Twilight vowed and looked into the smoke that cleared to see Celestia out of sight.
"You have REALLY tried my patience for the last time Twilight...! To think that my own student would do this... After everything we've dont together,"Celestia voice had spooked Twilight, for she was right behind her,"Why must all my students become so hostile towards me?! Sunset Shimmer, Heavy Weight, and now YOU Twilight Sparkle... I'm very disappointed in you...!"
"And I'm disappointed in you...! For not being a better teacher, for not being forward with your students, for fearing your students,"Twilight spat as she looked out to the corner of her to see her teacher also with her back turned,"I understand now Celestia...! You were afraid of Heavy Weight weren't you?! Because he was growing too powerful for you to keep under control...!
Celestia only looked out the corner of her eye and to Twilight's fake surprise and grin at her assumption, Celestia's eyes were wide and a bead of sweat slowly rolled down the side of the day princess's head, and it verified what Twilight had said.
"You're afraid of how strong he might become, and you hate being surpassed in magical strength don't you...? So you wanted to control him so he would not get too strong for you...!"Twilight said while Celestia let out a sigh and lit up her horn.
Twilight in return did the same, only rainbow magic surrounded her horn this time as her mane began to grow long, and the yellow streak grew into her mane as well, along with the sparkling multicolored six pointed stars on her hooves. He wings had quickly filled up with purple like colors as they spun around and the two mares crossed their horns together like swords in a breath taking duel, now the game had become serious, for power was the element in this fight. The magic in their horns exploded together and forced them back as Celestia continued to draw forth more power from the sun and bind it's powers to her mane and wings, it was then that Celestia's true power had arrived, a power that is rarely ever seen by any pony.
The clouds that threatened to block out the sun began to clear as the sun glared it's rays all over the town of Ponyville before it's rays were focused into Celestia's body, and her wings and mane went through a dramatic and unbelievable change. They began to glow like her magic, but then they continued to change until they lit up with a glow that matched the perfect look and energy of the sun's surface itself, and as Luna made her way out of the castle, she looked up to see this power, it had only been seen by her before, and only at one time before. This now became serious as Celestia's mane flickered like fire rather than blew like the wind with it's sun like texture as pure friendship and pure sun clashed together in a collision of great and magical power.
Colors went in all directions a the two began to clash again and again, allowing there great power shoot in all directions, one Ponyville was almost destroyed in the process, but Heavy was quick to intervene as he shot through the dirt road and sweep the piece of magic away from the house. He redirected it with his own magic and shot it back into the sky and straight towards Celestia ironically enough, it was her he had intended to stop, but she flew up and dodged without even knowing it was Heavy who shot it. She had now become too focused on the fight in front of her as Twilight charged in completely covered in a spiral cloak of rainbow magic and came at Celestia like a speeding bullet.
There was no reaction time as Twilight once again slammed straight into the chest of her foe and knocked off Celestia's crown in the process as she carried the princess of the day down towards the ground, and coming to a crash landing through a house and finally to the ground. A crater was left where they now stood as Twilight was the first to teleport away from the mess and quickly did her best to catch her breath and focus while Celestia was reeling from the brutal blow. That's when Heavy Weight saw his chance to run to Twilight, ignoring the fact that the crown of his teacher fell right to the side of his hooves, he ran for Twilight, she was badly injured and wasn't going to hold out much longer, her rainbow magic was quickly depleting.
"Twilight I'm here! TWILIGHT!"Heavy shouted to Twilight and the call did it's job as Twilight gradually turned to Heavy's voice.
Once her head turned and saw Heavy Weight in the flash, his mane and tail blazing like a furnace, his hooves were trembling as he looked upon her injuries with great worry and a throbbing migraine sparking within his head as he gripped it in response. Twilight gasp as she stared solemnly and with fear to him as she slowly walked to him and reached to hold him in her arms in her attempt to help wrestle him away from the pain, but once again, Celestia ruined it for him.
"Heavy...! I'm here Heavy...! I'm coming...my love..."Twilight breathed out before Heavy was spooked by a line of gold wrapping around her stomach.
"I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS! I AM DONE WITH THIS FIGHT OF YOURS!"Celestia called from the crater as she lifted Twilight into the air with her magic.
Heavy's jaw slowly dropped as he watched Twilight being pulled away from him, just like how Celestia had pulled her away from him in the past and made her go as far as to fight him to keep him within his imprisonment, his head pounded violently at the memory. Twilight only went higher as he reached for her, just like how he reached out the day he started out with the chains that bind his movement and crushed his body like a hungry serpent. Finally at the top of Twilight's ascension into the sky, she froze in place as Heavy shook his head before a long and excited gasp left the mouth of the mare he hated, and was forced to look upon as she crawled her way out of the crater.
"Heavy Weight...?! Oh my elements it is you...! I... I...can't believe it, oh just look at you,"Celestia dared to coo at Heavy while he shook his head that throbbed as he could feel the pain returning and panic mixing with it,"My goodness how you have grown...! You're a pretty BIG stallion for your age aren't you? You look amazing Heavy...!"
"P-please...! Put her down Celestia...! Let go of her right now! Just put her down!"Heavy desperately yelled to reach Celestia, but as always his cries fell on deaf ears.
"Oh...! Oh my Heavy, you look incredible, please do not run away, I only wish to see you,"Celestia had deep breaths mixed with chuckles in her words as she slowly approached,"Do not be afraid Heavy, I'm here now...! Everything will be okay...!"
"FOR EQUESTRIA'S SAKE JUST PUT HER DOWN CELESTIA! PUT HER DOWN AND LEAVE ME ALONE,"Heavy shouted while he held his head and felt the static of shocks in his brain,"I'M BEGGING YOU JUST PLEASE LET HER GO...! LET HER GO...! I HATE YOOOOOOOUU!"
"You're just confused Heavy Weight, and it's been caused by this little nuisance, I'm sorry Heavy... I really am,"Celestia said as she turned to Twilight and tightened her grip around her former student,"What kind of things have you filled him with Twilight, you understand how dangerous he is, and just look at him...! He's in so much pain! Can you not see that?!"
"He's in pain because you made him...this way...Celestia...! Even now you hurt him as you toy with me...because you're taking away his love,"Twilight weakly stated to a very unstable and angered Celestia,"Don't you blame me for your failures princess, in the end, everything that has happened here today... Is... ALL YOUR FAULT!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"Celestia cries out in anger as she wings Twilight down to the ground.
Everything froze for Heavy Weight as he let out a cry for Twilight, but his pleas fell on deaf ears, all there was, were anger, rage, sadness, love, and above all, pain, and it all came together as Twilight met with the ground. Her friends and even Luna felt their hearts stop and things freeze for them as they bare witnessed Twilight suddenly crashing into the ground like a meteor at high speeds and sending dust clouds in all directions only to be followed with rock pieces. At that same moment, a tear slowly rolled down Heavy's right eye, the place where Twilight had marked him, and finally his mind felt like it was about to explode as the rumbling of the ground subsided for a moment.
Slowly the smoke dissipated to reveal an unconscious Twilight that looked almost as if she had just been killed as she slowly reverted back to her normal form, silence overtook all that dared to watch as Heavy struggled to breath and felt his whole body tremble and move against him. His mouth sputtered and allowed whimpers and stuttering moans of rising grief as he moved towards her while Celestia only began to take in deep breath and desperately grasp for some sanity, but the problem was that she found it at the worst time. She shook her head to cool her thoughts and realized what she had just done as she stood before Twilight, and ironically had one hoof on Twilight's belly to symbolize victory, she then looked to the grieving Heavy as he fell to his belly at Twilight's side.
"Heavy Weight... I'm sorry... I... W-what have I done...?"Celestia breathed her words of new found sanity that now fell deaf on Heavy's ears.
His heart wrenching moans and whimpers to the badly hurt Twilight were reaching the ears of the princess of the night and her current companions, their hearts felt like they were tearing apart as Fluttershy finally was the first to break down from the horror. Celestia's actions were outrageous, and they were unjust, and they needed to be stopped, however they were going to be the least of their worries, and Celestia herself worries. Deep within Heavy's mind, full of pain and memories as he looked to Celestia and saw her being the mirror of himself when he hurt Twilight, and all that pain and returned memory became too much, something within him finally snapped.
Heavy felt his heart beating not only in his chest, but now it pounded like a drum within his head, with no control his magic slowly began to surround his horn and leak onto his head while his eyes went completely blue and his teeth grit in fury. Growls and groans rattled the spines of all on lookers, especially Celestia, who could only back away from him as he began to cry out in anger and growl loudly with pulsing magic flashing upon his horn, clouds then began to come together once more. Lightning struck his horn as he stood up and glared upon his target and saw blue when he would have seen red, the clouds darkened as Celestia stood back before Heavy finally raised his head to the heavens now shrouded on the storm that formed in the sky.
"Aaaaaagh! AAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH! RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHH!"Words could not be formed, only a battle cry left his mouth before the magic of blue finally exploded.
His horn allowed magic to explode around his whole body as a massive orb of pure magic surrounded both Heavy and Twilight, lightning struck the orb as it melted the ground under it, and made everything else tremble like an earthquake on the rise. Heavy and Twilight had disappeared into the dense sphere of magic and lightning surrounded the mass as it was rapidly pulled from the dark clouds themselves to fuel this rising power that made the air heavy and difficult to breath in. It was then that suddenly Twilight had slowly exited the orb on a small thin platform of blue magic and was teleported before her friends and princess Luna, and all of her injuries had suddenly healed, she was now healthy and safe, well out of the way of danger.
"Twilight! Twilight are you alright?! Talk to us,"Rainbow Dash was first to hold Twilight in her hooves and gently pat her cheek to wake her up,"Twilight! Come on, don't you dare give up on us!"
"She'll be fine, all the injuries she once had are now gone, Heavy Weight's magic must have healed her,"Luna said as Twilight gradually came to and blinked her eyes open while Luna looked to magic display before them,"Heavy Weight on the other hoof, I fear will not be, his magic has reached a chaotic state, and my sister is the target of it all...!"
"Ugh...! What happened? Some pony please tell me what the hay happened,"Twilight had finally awoke and sat up to see the sky dark and magic heating up the air,"Heavy Weight...? Heavy Weight! Where is he?!"
"Ease up there sugar cube... You went through a rough and fast healing session, try to take it slow..."Applejack insisted while Twilight only looked around frantically and was drawn to the glowing blue magic in the distance.
"Now Twilight, don't freak out or anything, but Heavy might have lost his mind when he saw you hurt,"Rarity wore a frighten tone with her words as the orb began to suddenly release something from the top,"And well... He may have lost all reason...!"
"What?! NOOOO! HEAVY WEIGHT!"Twilight shouted to her colt friend before a blob of magic formed on the orb.
The mares froze as the blob of magic quickly morphed and took on the form of the giant spirit pony itself that now rested within Heavy, but now it had awaken from it's slumber, and was rattled and guided by Heavy's rage as it's eyes darted to a scared Celestia. It's jaws full of sharp teeth made of pur magic opened, and a very loud and screechy roar blasted from it's mouth as it filled the air with it's ear splitting roar while it's massive horn grew on it's forehead. Finally as Luna had narrowly manged to gather the mane six and teleport them away from the heart of the scene and get them to safety, the wrath of Heavy Weight began as the lightning disappeared and began to bubble with fury as a front forearm and hoof shot from it.
With a huge and strong rear back of the hoof he went to swat at Celestia, who quickly jumped back to dodge, but hitting her directly was never the true plan, for a wave of pure magic mixed with the wind suddenly form in a sonic boom of wind. It came straight at Celestia as she grind on her hooves in the ground and quickly threw up a shield as her mane and wings flared up with solar power as much as she possibly could. Her sun power then proved to be insufficient as she watched the golden shield around shatter the minute the blast of magical wind touch her shield and suddenly scorch her cheeks and some of her fur.
She may have dodged that bullet, but her nightmare was just beginning as the other hoof shot out from the other side of the orb, and the mass itself began to pulsate and bubble like magma before the ground then began to explode all around her. The spirit let out another hearty and strong roar that pierced the sound barrier and rung the sun princess's ears, as massive and long ice blue tentacles lifted gigantic loads of rocks and even a few houses into the air. Celestia could only watch as the glow of all the blue magic illuminated the town while they lifted the mass of land and homes into the air, holding them as if they were the roots that controlled and held the land together like trees.
Suddenly Celestia was force to jump, spin, fly back and to the side as the ground exploded around her and tentacles suddenly began swinging and throwing weight into it as they slapped her in the face and tried to grab her by any means necessary. After her few successful dodges a new approach was made as a wall of rock formed in front of the spirit and a growled sounded off behind it before tentacles shot up from the ground and quickly began smacking chunks of rock towards Celestia. The mare Alicorn knew a shield was now deemed useless in this struggle and resorted to avoid and evade tatics as she leaped from one side and ducked under to dodge three, then back over the side and jump to dodge two incoming rocks.
The next par of rocks were too big to dodge, so with magic empowered into her head, Celestia slammed down her hooves and took a solid stance as she reared back her head and smashed through the incoming massive rocks with her head. A small bruise formed on her head as she quickly tried to clear the dust from the rocks and then got the scare of her life as the spirit stretched it's body and met face to face with her as wings sprouted from it's back. It had also in the process, reared back it's hoof before it smashed it's giant hoof against Celestia's right cheek, the force of the blow blasted Celestia away like a dart as she smashed through the walls of the town and crashed into the open plains.
Meanwhile, Twilight, her friends, and princess Luna were watching this from the top of the wall, not to far from the one that now had a hole in it, thanks to the power of Heavy Weight, and needless to say, all but Twilight were terrified by this turn of events. It was then that they could only watch as the developing spirit finally sprouted it's two back legs and had completed it's transformation, but Heavy could not be seen within the spirit, he was now trapped in the embodiment of his anger. Angrily the beast stomped it's way through the town and narrowly missed trampling houses as it smashed through the outer wall of Ponyville and taking the fight outside to Celestia, Twilight did not know what to think anymore, this was becoming too much.
"Twilight Sparkle...! Only you can put an end to this! You have to calm Heavy Weight down!"Luna had suddenly called to Twilight while Celestia had flew into the sky to defend herself.
"WHAT...?! But he couldn't hear me! His anger was bad, but it's never been this strong before!"Twilight said in a display of no confidence as Heavy began to chase Celestia.
"You have to Twilight! If you don't, my sister will be killed! You have to end this! You're the only one who can!"Luna's yells now turned to cries of fear for her sister as the carnage continued.
Celestia was merely a fly to the spirit that now chased her, she desperately tried to fight back as she shot golden magic into the face of the spirit beast, but to her shock, they disintegrated before they could even touch the spirit, it was surrounded in a cloak of deadly air. This cloak was brought on by the density of the spirit, and it's power kept it in check, all attacks now appeared to be useless to use against this the beast, and all she could do is fly. Rocks and mountains trembled and and shuttered with each great step the giant Alicorn spirit took, and it's roars threaten to shake and force the Canterlot mountain itself to collapse and destroy the city that became the one of the sources of his hatred.
The giant hooves of the spirit left craters full of melting blue rock that threatened to change to magma itself, it's roars could be heard from the furthest reaches of Equestria, and Celestia didn't need to understand that to know that it was coming for him as she flew for her life. It was then that a tentacle of massive proportions blasted from the ground and instantly wrapped Celestia in it's binding prison, just like the chains she once used to entangle and keep Heavy himself prison. Now they were around her, and with a wrathful swing, the spirit brought her down to the hard ground and slammed her deep into the dirt, and blasting soil content in every place, thankfully Celestia was released and able to get back up just in time to evade getting stomped on.
Jumping to the side and out of her new hole saved her from being crushed, but she was once again taken by surprise as the spirit had instantly shrunk down to her size and with it's own two hooves, slammed them together to crush Celestia's face by her cheeks. Desperate to get free, for she felt the very grip of the magical Alicorn burning her cheeks and crushing her jaw as she heard her very teeth grind and threaten to start cracking, she desperately reared a right hoof full of magic back and swung at the beast. The blow made contact as it smashed against the side of the spirits face, but it did not flinch from the blow and glared into her eyes as it's screeching roar blew wind in her face before it turned around and reared it's back legs up.
It then bucked her right in the jaw with both back hooves at full strength, and before he knew it, Celestia was once again flying like a rag doll, and was now skipping across the long plains of the open land like a skipping stone on top of a pond, and she was heading for Canterlot. She slammed on every part of her body, from her head, then her right side, then her flank, and then finally she came to the mountain of Canterlot itself before she finally met the mountain in person with her head. Without her crown, she took the full impact of the blow as her head smashed hard into the mountain and almost appeared to make it quiver and cringe as she trembled with a sudden massive pain going through her head, much like the pain she bestowed into Heavy's mind.
She was conscious, but her body felt heavy and limp as it bent before a sudden shower of large rocks from the mountain and even water deep from the mountain's heart came down and crashed with Celestia right to the base of the mountain. She then finally found some control in her body as she struggled to rid herself of the rocks that crushed her, and the water that now drenched her fur, and her mane no less, now it no longer flowed in the wind, it hung in her face, and was completely down and soaked. She began coughing up blood and water that made her gag as she struggled to stand up, for she could feel broken bones within her, she was burned, badly scratched and bruise, and now she was even bleeding from her mouth and her forehead.
"Ugh...! Aaaaaaaagghh! Gaaaaaaaahhh...!"Celestia's whimpers of pain could be heard as she saw blood on her hooves and panicked as she felt the next move coming,"HELP ME! PLEEEEAASSE! I CAN't TAKE IT ANYMORE! I'M SCARED...! SOME PONY PLEASE HELP ME!"
Celestia prayed for her cries for help to be answered, but the problem was that there was an answer, but not the one she wanted, for growling could be heard as she stared to the ground and panted before the growls sent chills down her spine. Slowly she looked up towards the source of the growl and was once again face with the spirit that continued to contain Heavy Weight within it, but something was happening to it, it appeared to be chipping away and giving itself back to the owner. Celestia unfortunately could not take the time to study the event, before she was then blasted by a beam of magic straight in the gut and was forced to crash against the mountain wall once more as it roared once more, but this time it's screech was mixed with the roars of Heavy himself.
"NOOO! GET AWAY FROM ME...! PLEASE...! I'M SORRY HEAVY! I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO WHAT I DID, I SWEAR,"Celestia was now pleaded as she gathered what strength was left and crawled and backed herself against the mountain,"HEAVY YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, I HAD TO DO WHAT I DID, YOU WERE BECOMING TO POWERFUL! YOU WERE SCARING ME! I DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING BAD TO HAPPEN TO ME OR YOU! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!"
Celestia's pleas and cries for mercy once again fell on deaf ears as Heavy's cries fell on hers in the past, and now it was her turn to feel some pain, and he wanted it to be more pain than she had ever felt before, he wanted it to match his own pain. He kicked her against the wall and roared in her face before his roars turned to grunts, and his kick changed to his first punch that struck Celestia in the face, and knocking a tooth out of her mouth in the process, but that was not enough, not enough pain. He wanted more, and he got it as he slugged her again with the other hoof and watched a spot of blood leave her lip and her wet mane dare to whip him in the face, and it only made him angrier.
Grunts, yells, growls, and even cries left Heavy's mouth as he swung and viciously began to beat Celestia's face into a bloody pulp, and it didn't take him too long to draw more blood from her as it splashed from her mouth and coated her lips in it. He screamed and pounded away at her with tears stinging his eyes as Celestia cried out and whimpered in fear and pain, as she felt he face throbbing and turning red with blood, teeth flew out of her mouth as she heard the loud thuds of her head dealt by the hooves of Heavy. However there was something louder than just both of their cries and their whimpers, Heavy's blows started to become lighter, but they did not cease as the screams of his younger self once again filed his mind, but it did not stop at Heavy's mind.
With each blow he delivered to Celestia, the screams and pieces of his memories traveled into her mind, and she was coming to grips with everything she had done, the pain was almost unnoticeable as she saw herself shocking, slamming, and chaining Heavy down. His cries and his begs to her were ignored, and she was seeing the hate and fear within her own eyes as she relentlessly tortured and wrongly shock and hurt Heavy with no concern for his well being or his fragile mind. Her whimpers became ore of despair and disgust with herself rather than pain as tears flowed out the corners of her eyes as she now felt she deserved every last bit of this.
Heavy himself began to lose tears that went down his cheeks as his eyes shut completely and the magical aura around him finally vanished, his blows got weak and felt like small jabs now, but he felt like he could not stop no matter what he did. He felt in the back of his mind that this would be it, he was going to kill her, he was going to vanquish Celestia without his will to stop himself, he will have revenge, but it will cost the world of Equestria it's very light. However it was then that as he felt Celestia starting to get weaker to the point of near fainting, his blows suddenly froze as he felt a gentle hoof touch his shoulder, and the sweetest voice like an angel from the heavens call to him in the most gentle voice.
"Heavy Weight...! Heavy Weight it's okay now...! You can stop,"Came the voice that belonged to only one pony as he slowly turned to the source of the voice,"Everything is going to be okay now Heavy...! It's over... You don't have to hurt any more...!"
Heavy's hooves trembled and shook with desire to strike so many more times, but instead he looked to his side and was met with the worried and small smiling face of Twilight Sparkle, and his eyes widened instinctively while a horrified gasp left his lips. Slowly his hooves lowered back down to the ground, and the brutal assault finally ended as he stood before Twilight, his eyes still glowing blue, and still furrowed, but it was quickly then starting to change. He began to breath more easily and with deeper inhales to exhales, he then went silent as he saw himself in Twilight's eyes and saw the horrendous thing that he appeared to be, and finally he could no longer hold back tears any more.
His teeth grit, and his eyes shut as tears flowed freely from the corners of his eyes as he whimpered and began to break down, his hooves gripped his head once more, for it once again began to throb and pound violently against his skull. He began shaking all over as if he was still being electrocuted by Celestia's magic, slowly his head began to lower as he began to sob and even choke on them in the process, and that was when Twilight slowly brought him into her forearms. She pulled him into a deep and very warm hug, and he pressed his face against her chest as she let out a sigh and felt Heavy crying for the first time in a very long time, it had been a while since he was ever this emotional.
Heavy quickly wrapped his forearms around Twilight, and cling to Twilight like a frighten baby colt as he cried into her chest as if he was terrified of Celestia and was now begging Twilight to protect him, he didn't want to be near Celestia. He didn't even want to look at Celestia, the mare herself was only just getting back up as her mane, tail, and her wings finally powered down, after all there was no more power for her to use any more, she had been bested. Tears began to roll down her cheeks as she watched Heavy Weight, the most powerful and stone cold stone student she had ever known was now crying and whimpering and clinging to Twilight for help.
"P-Please...! Don't...let her-r...take me back there...! I don't want to go back t-there Twilight,"Heavy managed to choke out with his sobs as he hid his face in her embrace,"Please...Twilight...! Don't let her take me back there...! I-I want to safety here...! Please...!"
His begs and cries for help were acknowledged finally as Twilight held him tightly in her loving embrace and kissed him on the head while Celestia stumbled to her hooves, but she was barely able to stand as she felt her back right leg may have been broken. She panted, huffed and puffed in attempts to at least catch her breath as she spat blood and another tooth from her mouth before desperately wiping at her mouth to remove the blood. She got the blood, but her tears could not stop, for she was now coming to grips with what she had done to him, she had felt more pain today than she ever did before, and all this was what Heavy was feeling for the longest time.
"This is what he's been feeling all this time Celestia...! This is what you kept doing to him,"Twilight stated with a blank voice as she stared blankly into Celestia's eyes,"He ran away because of the pain you caused him, he can't even look at you because of it...! You can't keep letting him have to live with this kind of pain, no matter how strong he is, it's going to be too much for him to take...!"
"But...! All I wanted was to keep him in my life...! I just did what I thought was best for him,"Celestia cried as she rubbed at her eyes to stop the tears while she shook her head in shame,"How was I suppose to know it wasn't working...?! How was I suppose to know he was hurting so much...?!"
"There is a fine line between trying to control ones anger, and torturing him, and you crossed that line long ago,"Twilight scolded as she rubbed heavy's back to calm his rattled nerves,"You nee to get your reality straight, because right now, every pony knows of what you did, and you owe it to Heavy to make things right with him...!"
"Princess Twilight is right sister...! There needs to be apologies and atonement for these acts of yours,"Came the calls of an incoming princess Luna who landed at Twilight's side and stared solemnly to the broken stallion,"We deeply apologize for all that has happened here Twilight, we never meant for things to go this far, will you please accept our most sincere apologies...?"
"It's alright, he's just gonna need some special attention until he comes around, I need to get Heavy back to the castle,"Twilight said before her and Luna saw Celestia drop to her belly and clutch herself in pain,"Princess Celestia will need a doctor to look at her, you wouldn't mind staying here at the kingdom until she fully recovers from her injuries do you?"
"Not at all, we will stay for as long as it takes, nothing more my friend, will he be alright?"Luna gestured to the trembling and frightened Heavy Weight as Twilight helped him to his hooves.
"Please... Do take all the time you need with him, he needs you now more than ever Twilight,"Luna encouraged while helping Celestia to her hooves and supporting her head with her back,"Come...! Let us return to your friends, they are waiting for us at the entrance to the town."
Twilight nodded in agreement, and judging from the softness of his body and the bruises that had formed around his torso and forearms, Heavy would need to be looked at as well, for he went into the form of the spirit much longer than he did before. He had sustained some damage from using the power of the spirit, luckily the will to move with ease was still with him, as the stallion walked with her while Luna and Celestia walked right behind them towards the town. Everything was finally quiet now, Heavy appeared to be slowly calming down, his sobs had finally ceased and his tears began to subside, he was breathing heavily, but he was snuggling Twilight immensely with affection.
In a way Twilight was greatly relieved to see that this day did not end in death, and now that atonement and the chaos was over, they could rest easily, and now they walk home to the friends that were waiting for them, and a very concern town that Heavy would now call home.
A VERY INTENSE AND EMOTIONAL CHAPTER IS IT NOT, THIS WAS A MILE STONE AND A CHALLENGE FOR ME, BUT IT'S HERE FOR YOU ALL TO SEE, CELESTIA HAS LEARNED A HARD LESSON, NOW TIME WILL ONLY TELL IF A RELATIONSHIP CAN EVER BE FORMED WITH THE STUDENT SHE HAD WRONGED.
