Sitting in a nice calm area where animals roamed I sat on a large rock in the middle of a pond… breathing and breathing out like what Love told me to do… except it wasn't working at all! "Awe come on!" I yelled throwing my hands into the air as I lied down on the large flat rock. "Wasn't there another way to focus the body? I watched him do it before… let the magic flow through you… do not control its movements…" standing up I planted my feet as I released the valves on my magic as I let it control my movements…
Flowing around slowly I could feel the anger very slowly leaving me…
Love's POV
"are you sure he's alright? He has been gone for several hours." She was such the worry type… I placed down the tea she made as she poured me another cup.
"he's most likely mad enough where he has to resort doing movements… allowing his own magic to take the burden of anger." I stated as I picked back up the tea cup. A knock at the door stopped her from answered. She set down her own tea cup before walking to the door and gasping in surprise.
"p-p-princess Celestia!" my eyes widened as I set down the tea cup and then put my helmet back on.
"hello Fluttershy. How are you doing this fine day?" I heard the voice of Celestia ask as I slowly approached the door.
"I'm doing alright princess."
"that's good to hear… now I am here because Twilight you were allowing some… humans to stay."
"oh no." Fluttershy said with a smile. "Only one of them is human the other is actually an emotion." She then said with a smile.
"emotion?" she nodded as I came into view.
"hello Princess Celestia." I stated.
"hello… your name is?" she asked.
"Love. I'm the emotion of Luke who is currently not here at the moment."
"would you like to come in for some tea?" Fluttershy asked.
"why I would love to." She opened the door further as Celestia and two of her guard walked in. the guard stood by the door while I scoot over with my tea and she sat down where I used to seat. After getting some tea for her Fluttershy picked up her own tea. "where is… this Luke?" she asked.
"he's currently calming himself down from a long day of anger. " I told her as I took off my helmet as she stared at me. "he is most likely using movements now to let his anger be taken away by his magic. He has been quite mad the past week."
"Self-defense?" Fluttershy ask as I nodded.
"Self-defense?"
"we have been attacked many times and have been betrayed once." I could feel a familiar feeling enter my body as I set down my tea and raised my right hand as I covered it in a pink aura. "I can finally reenter his mind so that's a good thing."
"reenter his mind?" Celestia said as I nodded.
"yes. I was forced to break out of his mind to save him from the explosion approximately one week ago. His wings weren't so lucky."
"his wings?" she asked again.
"oh they were so horrible when I saw them!" Fluttershy started. "but they were healing quite nicely."
"that's good to hear. After this I might want to go… check on him." Immediately I sent my magic into her mind to search for her intentions as she and Fluttershy continued to talk. When I was done I took a sip.
"I would not suggest trying to capture him." She froze and quickly darted her head over to me. "your sister tried to kill him when we met them." Immediately I felt myself unable to move as I watched myself be surrounded in a golden aura. "she was the one that tried to kill us and betrayed us when we first met them."
"how do you know my sister?" she asked with scorn in her voice.
"we met her the first day we got here. We appeared in this dimension a week ago and on the first day… she tried to kill us when she let us go. That's how he lost his wings."
"now I don't know if I should kill you…" she muttered with rage evident in her voice.
"please stop fighting!"
"Mommy?" a little filly came into view. She had a pale purple coat with a blond mane and tail and was a unicorn. "What's… going on?"
"nothing sweetie just go back to bed."
"yes… mommy…" she slowly walked up the steps as I felt myself able to move again.
"she… really tried to kill you?" I nodded looking at her.
"who was that?" I then asked Fluttershy.
"she used to belong to another Pegasus who went missing about a year ago and is presumed dead. I agreed to watch over her and soon adopted her." I looked back towards the steps. "What was her mother's name?"
"we agreed to never speak of it." Celestia quickly said as I looked at her with narrowed eyes.
"it was Ditzy wasn't it…" they both froze as well as the guards at the door. "She's alive and well just so you know."
"She's… alive…" they tried to have her killed didn't they? They damn did!
"you tried to have her mother killed…" I said slowly standing up. Fluttershy looked in horror at my assumption.
"she was a commander for my sisters rebellion… she was also a spy…"
"She lost an eye because of you, you know?" I told her as I put my helmet back on. "no wonder she was so defensive when she met Luke…" I started to walk towards the door.
"block him…" the guards moved their weapons as they closed the door.
"I suggest you move before you get hurt."
"I'm sorry Love… but I can't let you go before you promise to not tell anypony of this…" she said as I took my right gauntlet off confusing them… before snapping my fingers as the ponies went flying out through the door, breaking it in the process. Snapping them again quickly shadows wrapped around Celestia's horn.
"if you want to talk come into the woods and find Luke. I will notify him of what I have learned here…" and with that I stormed out of the home before sprinting straight into the trees.
I searched for him until I found him 10 minutes later doing movements on top of a rock in the middle of a large pond. He looked calm as his movements flowed with precision and elegance. "we have a problem." I immediately said as his eyes suddenly burst open… before he lost his balance and fell into the pond as his head popped up with a Lilly pad on top.
"yes…" he asked annoyed.
"you know Ditzy?" he nodded. "Celestia had her killed…"
Luke's POV
I couldn't believe I was hearing. "what?!" I yelled swimming over and then getting out of the water.
"one year ago she went missing… Luke… she had a daughter…" I clenched my hands in anger.
"we now know who we can only trust correct?" he nodded. "any of the guard come and ask us to come with them we eliminate them immediately… be it lethal or not…" again he nodded. "how did you figure that out?" I then asked him confused.
"Celestia was at Fluttershy's home earlier. She will most likely be coming here to ensure that we don't speak of what we now both know… should we try and reunite mother and daughter?" I put a hand to my chin.
"What's the filly's name?" I asked him.
"don't know. Figured you might want to know about this immediately. She's living at Fluttershy's home as her adopted daughter."
"then how about we try and talk Ditzy in to meet her before we leave? Let her know that she's still alive."
"that might work…" he muttered as a twig snapped as we both got into a combat stance. Coming out of the brush was Celestia… with the 6 girls we made friends with when we first went to Ponyville. "This can't be good."
"Unfortunately I must ask for your surrender." Celestia stated.
"why? We haven't done anything."
"your apart of the lunar republic!" Rainbow Dash yelled as Love groaned and clenched his fist. Causing the shadows to dart at her as it tied her up. Surprising them all as she fell with a thud struggling to get out of the black bonds. "let me out of this!"
"let our friend go!" Twilight yelled as her horn sparked with magic… before Love fell over in a roar of pain as the shadows on Rainbow Dash went back to their original places. "did I do that?"
"Love!" I yelled crouching down.
"he's… coming!" he gave another roar of pain as I watched his armor turn to a bubblegum pink in some areas slowly. "Get… them… out of… here!" this roar of pain was bigger than the last as I darted my head upwards towards the group of ponies.
"run!"
"We ain't running!" applejack yelled.
"you don't understand his opposite is coming out!" I yelled running about halfway to them before the ones with magic lowered their heads at me causing me to skid to a stop. "just go!"
"You're coming with us!" Pinkie Pie yelled as she jumped onto Celestia's back.
"luuuuuuuuuuuuuuke…" I gulped as I slowly turned around to see that Loves body was standing… with arms limp and slouched over. "time to plaaaaaaaaaaaaaay…"
"hello…" I gave another gulp. "Lust."
"so you know who I am?!" his head darted upwards as he looked at me. "good…"
"time for our fight of dominance in the mindscape?" I asked.
"no… time for our fight here!" immediately he appeared in front of me with a sword and shield… before bashing me with his shield sending me flying straight into the woods as I tumbled on the hard ground until my back collided with a tree sideways.
Luke? Luke!
"hey… love…" I muttered as I coughed a little as blood came out just a little onto my hand. Sitting up against the tree I heard yelling as well as short explosions from where I was looking. "you alright?"
I should be asking you that. Lust will be more powerful than me until you beat him. Although I think all of the mares are slowly making him lose energy.
"will you be any help?" I struggled to my feet as I used the tree I hit to support myself.
Unfortunately Lust took over my reality body. You will have to wait at least 10 minutes before I'm able to get a new one. Maybe 20.
"any ideas?"
He can use all the magic you can except for blood since he's a part of the light side emotions. If you know how to use it now would be a good time.
I looked at the watch as I looked at it… sighing I put my hand to it as I felt that the ring was able to spin around left and right. Looking at it in surprise I soon stopped messing with it as I charged towards where the current battle was happening. "I think my blood magic has to do with forms." I stated as I skidded to a stop and crouched down as I watched the battle happen.
Applejack and Pinkie Pie were trapped in shadow webbings while Rarity and Twilight were unable to use magic due to shadows being wrapped around their horns. Fluttershy was cowering behind a tree while Celestia was fighting Lust in the air as he came at her full throttle. "um… do you have wings?"
Yeah but I don't use them much.
"damn you…" I heard a soft snicker as I walked out of the brush. "hey Lust!" he stopped chasing after Celestia. I immediately got into a combat stance with my sword in front of me. "Let's go!"
"time to play!" Lust landed and put his wings away as he threw his shield to the side and then threw his sword into his right hand. We began to circle each other while Celestia moved the girls out of the way. Charging my sword with light magic he charged his with dark magic as we charged each other. When we came together… a large explosion of white and black occurred as the streams intensified… one trying to outlast the other. "You won't win Luke!" he swept out my legs before spinning and kicked me into the ground causing me to bounce. He then proceeded to kick me away as I tumbled on the ground.
As I righted myself and skidded to a stop I jumped back to avoid a downward slash from Lust as my back hit the tree. Quickly darting my head upwards I ducked as the shield collided with the trunk of the tree where my neck used to be as I quickly rolled out of the way and swept the legs out from under Lust. After getting back to my feet I slashed at him but he pushed off from against the tree to dodge as he flipped backwards once onto his feet.
Charging him both of our swords collided in another flash of black and white as he kneed me in the gut causing me to hunch over before hitting me in the spine with the butt of his handle causing me to collapse onto the ground.
"he's… to fast…" I muttered as he laughed manically.
"awe come on? You couldn't of given me more fun?" he said.
"my turn." I heard the sound of metal hitting metal as Lust was sent flying straight into the pond. Turning my head I saw Love standing in a punched position before he crouched down and helped me up. "well that was badass."
"damn right it was." I heard a soft chuckle as a large roar of anger and a large explosion of water came from the pond. I picked back up my sword as he pulled out his sword and shield.
"he is mine!" he immediately appeared before us surprising us as he spun around on his hands sending us flying apart. Love crashed into a rock shattering it while I landed near the pond. My sword still flying as it landed into the pond as well.
Looking towards Lust he was radiating darkness as he slowly walked towards me with fists clenched. He was utterly pissed off that's for sure. I wasn't that good with wind magic and light and dark magic wasn't going to work… the only advantage I had was… I turned my head towards the watch as I felt a strange warmth pass over me.
3 symbols… for three species… slowly reaching my hand over I put my fingers onto the ring that was spin able… unicorn… earth pony… and Pegasus… I had one shot at this. "time to die pretty boy…" quickly spinning the other ring it started to glow a bright shade of red as I slowly stood up. "what is this magic?!" turning to look at him I smirked as my vision was surrounded by a red cocoon… and then I found myself in a small cube with small hexagon tiles… before they all immediately darted forward and turned my body into a hexagon grid.
I could feel pain as they started to flip over once into a dark black… new feelings spreading through my body as my arms had gold lines going down straight from my neck before they separated creating smaller gold lines over the top of my fingers… my hair became longer my muscles got thicker as I could feel a flow of strength go through my body… soon though I appeared back in the red cocoon as it soon dissipated into thin air…
"What the?" Lust stated as I turned my head towards him. I looked at my hands and hair to see that I was now covered in fur. My hair now also had silver streaks in it as it went down to my shoulders. Smiling even bigger I turned my attention towards lust before cracking my neck and knuckles… loudly…
"This is when Lust knew…" I started as he took a single step back and got into a stance. "That he fucked up…"
