p style="max-height: 999999px;"Blaze was the first to raise his head from the ponies left on the ground. "Ugh...Somepony get the number of that chariot that hit me." He shook his head before looking around at the other ponies on the ground. Still there were Fluttershy, Fleet, and Aerial. Jack, however, was missing. "Jack? Jack O' Trades! Where are you?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"His shouting began to wake up the others. "Blaze, what's wrong?" Fluttershy walked over to him with a look of worry./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Jack's gone! Sombra may have gotten him!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"While Fluttershy began freak out, Aerial stepped up with a smug grin. "So what? When Sombra gets what he wants, then it'll all be over."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Um...Hello? Anypony in there?" Blaze knocked on Aerial's head. "That's what we're trying to stop!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Why? What would be so bad about a Stallion taking control of the nation? It's what the Princesses have been doing for eons."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""No, they've been protecting the ponies of Equestira throughout their reign. Sombra just wants power, and a lot of it."/p

p style="max-height: 999999px;"A wall of fire shot up between the two of them. "STOP IT!" They both looked over at Fleet to see that her red mane was flowing like fire and tears were streaming down her face. "You two are no better than him!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Blaze turned towards her. "Fleet-"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"The flames moved to encircle her. "Don't touch me! You're just like him! You're evil, just like him!" She curled into a ball, which caused the flames to drop. "Why can't you be like Jack? He isn't like him." She rocked back and forth, extinguishing the flames. "He's not like him."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Aerial and Blaze both glared at each other as Fluttershy walked over and knelt down next to Fleet. "Fleet, who are you? Really?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"She looked up at Fluttershy with tear-filled eyes. "I'm...my...My daddy was a in the service of...of...S-Sombra." She dipped her head and began to sob more audibly. "He...used me as...a slave in his castle...I was punished for my daddy...until he...he..." She broke out into a stream of tears./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Fluttershy wrapped her in her front legs and rocked her back and forth. "Shh...it's okay now...you're safe now."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""I'll never be safe! He...he...he murdered my daddy! And I...I know I'm next."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""So, why can you use magic?" Aerial questioned intractably./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Aerial! Have you no heart?" Blaze instantly tackled him to the ground./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""What? Am I not allowed to be curious?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Like that? No!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""No..." Fleet began. "...No...you have the right to know. When...when he took me into service, he forced magic into me. He...cut open my cheek and...and his hoof. His...his blood runs through my veins."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Aerial worked his way out of Blaze's grip to ask, "Blood transfer? He would weaken himself to force magic into you?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Blaze hit him in the back of the head. "Are you stupid? Silk's Touch was born without a horn! He was so disgusted with her that he made sure he never had another pony in his presence without magic."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Heh...kinda makes me wish I was born back then..."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Again I ask, are you stupid?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""What? I've always envied unicorns. They can do everything. And what can I do? I can fly around and clear clouds! What can I do that a unicorn can't?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""...Fly unaided?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""There's a spell for that."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""..Uh..."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Exactly! That's the reason I released Sombra in the first place!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Blaze stood on his hind legs and pointed accusingly at him. "A CONFESSION!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Am I in the wrong? I heard the legends and myths. He could offer me everything I could ever want. If he could force magic into me, no matter how little, I would be satisfied. So I traveled far until I reached the true resting place of Sombra's body./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""He never died, not when the Princesses fought him, not when the Elements fought him. But you would've thought that from how his skeleton was sitting there, bits of fur and flesh barely hanging on./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""In his chest was stabbed a long sword, chained down to the sides of his stone table.

p style="max-height: 999999px;"The four of them stayed where they were for a while, pondering everything that was said. Eventually, Blaze looked up and said, "Well...it's doesn't matter now. What's been done can't be undone."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""There's a spell for that."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"There was another short silence before Blaze started to chuckle, followed immediately by Aerial. Fluttershy watched them for a while before beginning to laugh behind her hoof, Fleet eventually doing the same./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"strong~Meanwhile, back on Earth~/strong/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Paul knelt in front of the shadow unicorn that was his grandfather in a long throne room of some sort of ruin of a palace overlooking a cliff. However, his clothes were different from what they were before. A black, long sleeved shirt with red streaks running down the arms and back. Black pants followed this same pattern. "Grandfather, you called for me?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Yes, Paul. I believe...that it is time for you to unleash for true self."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Paul lifted his head questioningly. "What do you mean?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""A while ago, you made a potion that held almost extreme magical properties. You drank bits of it, and already you've become faster, stronger, and wiser than you were before. Should you drink the rest, you will become unstoppable."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Where is this potion?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""I have it here." His horn glowed a dark red, revealing the aforementioned potion before Paul. "Drink it, and become...reborn."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Paul took the potion and looked at it intently. "This is it?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""It may not look like much, but trust me, it'll be worth it."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Paul lifted the bottle to his lips and slowly drank the potion. However, he wasn't expecting a deep burning sensation to fill his body. He swiftly dropped the bottle, making shatter on the hard ground./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"However, it was already too late. The effect was almost immediate. His hair became pure white as his eyes became a deeper blue. He felt every bone, muscle, cell, and hair energize with no signs of stopping./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"When he became accustomed to the burning, he looked up at Sombra. "Why does it burn?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""It's your desire. The desire to prove yourself in everything you set your mind to. The need to prove yourself to those who thought you incompetent."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Such as?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"The unicorn pointed his hoof over Paul's shoulder. "Him, for instance." At the end of the hall, the doors burst open, revealing two of Sombra's men dragging Marshal into the room. They dropped him in front of Paul, sniveling and begging for mercy. "This man has failed me for the last time, but that is beyond the point." He walked over and spoke into Paul's ear. "Do you remember him?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Sombra's horn began to glow red again, revealing things about this man before them to Paul. However, one thing in-particular stood out./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"em"/ememYou didn't stay at the school."/em/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"em"/ememGrandpa was already-"/em/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"emWhap! "I gave you one simple task." Whap! "You were told to stay there." Whap! "And you came home with your grandfather."/em/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"em"/ememMainly because Grandpa wouldn't hit me with a belt."/em/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"em"/ememWhap! Whap! Whap! "Maybe he should!"/em/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"With each emWhap, /emPaul's fist began to clench into a fist. When the vision finished, he held out his hand towards the man, lifting him into the air. Marshal's hands flew to his neck, trying to loosen the grip of an invisible restraint./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Do you remember him?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Yes...the man who tried to ruin my life. Everyday, plotting my harm or demise. This man claimed to be my father."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""He lied to you Paul." With a wicked smile, Sombra continued. "What does he deserve?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""With my new power, everything I can do to him."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""No...kill him."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Paul sneered at this and threw Marshal into the nearest wall. Then he began to walk towards him. "You tried to ruin my life." He thrust his hand forward, sending a stream of lightning into Marshal, who howled in agony. "You said I was too soft." He held his hand towards the loose rocks of the palace and sent them flying towards the him. Then, Paul walked up and held him but the collar. "But I'm not, am I? Am I good enough for you now? Is this your dream son?"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Marshal began to spit up blood. "Th-This...isn-n-n't...y-y-you-u-u..."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""No...this is what you always wanted. I can kill you anyway I want to. Lightning..." He shot more lightning into his body. "...Fire..." He lit his own hand on fire and then grabbed Marshal's face. "...or anyway else, but I'll toy with you for a while." He lifted him to his feet and then blasted him through the wall./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Marshal stood right at the edge of the cliff, but not so long before Paul suspended him in the air over the edge. "P-Paul! ...H-Help me!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Paul smirked again. "I'm sorry, but this doesn't hurt me." He held his hand out before him, revealing a small, pulsing red object in his left hand. "And this doesn't hurt me either." He began to crush the object in his hand, which again caused Marshal to writhe in agony. "This is what you wanted! No here's your reward!" Paul released his grip slightly on the small object and then formed a small ball in his other hand. This ball appeared to be burning, with tiny sparks flying out, and many other miniature versions of any possible disaster he could muster. "Goodbye...Marshal."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"He clapped his hands together, forcing an unearthly scream out of the man. Then, he hung limp in the air for a moment before dropping over the edge into the water below. Sombra walked over to his side, approvingly. "Bravo, Paul. But this is only the beginning of your potential, but with a little training, you could do so much."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Grandfather, I highly doubt I need the training."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Oh, no, but I wish to see your full potential before anything else. But not for a while now. Come, let's make plans for later." The shadow unicorn walked off back into the palace, leaving Paul out on the cliff./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"That's when he looked down at the still pulsing object in his hand and smirked. "You...I'll keep you with me, Marshal. You'll always be a reminder how I was finally good enough for you." Paul then held out his hand, sending a rock flying towards his hand, forming into a locket big enough to hold it./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Then Paul placed his "father's" heart inside."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"strongChapter Complete. This Chapter was particularly difficult to write. Mainly because I feel like I may be loosing my creative edge (darn you, highschool).

p style="max-height: 999999px;""No...this is what you always wanted. I can kill you anyway I want to. Lightning..." He shot more lightning into his body. "...Fire..." He lit his own hand on fire and then grabbed Marshal's face. "...or anyway else, but I'll toy with you for a while." He lifted him to his feet and then blasted him through the wall./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Marshal stood right at the edge of the cliff, but not so long before Paul suspended him in the air over the edge. "P-Paul! ...H-Help me!"/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Paul smirked again. "I'm sorry, but this doesn't hurt me." He held his hand out before him, revealing a small, pulsing red object in his left hand. "And this doesn't hurt me either." He began to crush the object in his hand, which again caused Marshal to writhe in agony. "This is what you wanted! No here's your reward!" Paul released his grip slightly on the small object and then formed a small ball in his other hand. This ball appeared to be burning, with tiny sparks flying out, and many other miniature versions of any possible disaster he could muster. "Goodbye...Marshal."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"He clapped his hands together, forcing an unearthly scream out of the man. Then, he hung limp in the air for a moment before dropping over the edge into the water below. Sombra walked over to his side, approvingly. "Bravo, Paul. But this is only the beginning of your potential, but with a little training, you could do so much."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Grandfather, I highly doubt I need the training."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;""Oh, no, but I wish to see your full potential before anything else. But not for a while now. Come, let's make plans for later." The shadow unicorn walked off back into the palace, leaving Paul out on the cliff./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"That's when he looked down at the still pulsing object in his hand and smirked. "You...I'll keep you with me, Marshal. You'll always be a reminder how I was finally good enough for you." Paul then held out his hand, sending a rock flying towards his hand, forming into a locket big enough to hold it./p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"Then Paul placed his "father's" heart inside."/p
p style="max-height: 999999px;"strongChapter Complete. This Chapter was particularly difficult to write. Mainly because I feel like I may be loosing my creative edge (darn you, highschool). Anywho, tell me how you think I'm doing and if anyone would be so kind as to remind me who's ideas are in this fic, I would be utterly grateful. Anyway, RR AND ADIOS!/strong/p
