Chapter 5
Twilight Sparkle and Spike were walking to the train station to surprise her brother and sister in law. She had recently received a message from Shining Armor that him and Cadence were visiting her for strange reasons. Suddenly she thought of Heavy Weight, she remembered how bad they were together and a strange issue that turned them from friends to hated enemies, her thoughts were then interrupted by Spike who tapped her shoulder from on top of her back.
"Hey Twilight, you were joking when you were talking about Heavy and Shining being separate right? I mean do they not like each other or something?" Spike asked curiously.
Twilight thought for a moment and sighed, "well it was to sound like a joke, but yes...they have to stay separated, Heavy and Shining Armor don't like each other a lot." She said grimly, she then remembered the vicious fight that happened between Heavy and Shining that almost ended in death for Shining if not for her intervening.
"Oh um, sorry I asked, do you know why they don't like each other?" Spike asked.
"No" Twilight replied.
As both Twilight and Spike made it to the train station, they were surprise by all five of their friends waiting for them, Twilight and Spike lit up and walked over to greet them, only to be greeted themselves.
"Howdie Twilight, good to see ya." Applejack said.
"Hey everypony, what are all you doing here?" she asked with excitement.
"Pinkie Pie found out about Cadence and Shining Armor visiting Ponyville and told us about it so we all decided to come to greet them as well" Rainbow dash replied.
"Really, but how did she know?" Twilight asked.
"Just a hunch" Pinkie replied as she then smiled big.
Rarity looked around and became curious of Heavy Weight, "I say where did the concurring hero stallion run off to?" she asked.
"He stayed at the library, him and Shining Armor don't exactly get along." Twilight responded gaining confused looks from her friends.
"Um sorry for asking, but why don't they get along?"Fluttershy asked politely.
Twilight then frowned at the question, "even I don't know the answer to that, sad part is there was a time that they were once good friends."
Everypony was then concerned for Twilight and Heavy, suddenly their thoughts were broken by the sound of an approaching train. The front of the train was coated in dense and heavy crystal proving that it was coming from the Crystal empire, all the ponies lit up as the train came to a complete stop right in front of them. The train doors then flew open, and with it, six crystal empire guards emerged, including Flash sentry, he was a Pegasus pony with a blue mane and tail, an orange coat and he wore golden armor that covered up his cutie mark, as he exited the train he saw the princess and immediately bowed along with the rest of the guards.
"Princess Twilight, it is an honor to see you again." Flash said
Twilight giggled at Flash's manners, "thank you flash, but what is with these guards, there are a lot more here than there was last time Cadence visited." Twilight replied.
Flash then rose to meet her eye to eye, "Your brother will explain everything, all we know is that he believes you are in danger" Flash said worrying Twilight and her friends.
Suddenly Flash and the guards bowed as Shining Armor and Cadence appeared at the entrance of the train. As they made their exit, Twilight and Cadence rushed to each other to give each other their special greeting.
"Sunshine, sunshine, lady bugs awake"
"Clap your hooves, and do a little shake"
They both then giggled as Shining then stepped forward with a smile on his face, "Twily! its good to see you again, I'm glad we weren't to late!" Shining exclaimed in a worried tone
"Yeah, but why wouldn't I be?" Twilight asked.
"It doesn't matter, what matters is that your safe now." Shining replied while hugging her tightly.
"If this is about the monster attack, you don't need to worry, the monsters have been destroyed" Twilight said in reassurance.
Shining Armor then broke from the hug with a look of shock on his face, "wait! you were attacked too, are you okay?" Shining asked.
"Yes Shining I'm fine, I heard about you getting attacked as well." Twilight insinuated.
"Yes we were, but luckily we were rescued by a pony in a cloak and he appeared to be heading towards Ponyville" Cadence explained.
Twilight then realized that they were talking about Heavy Weight, she then smiled and calmly replied, "really, wow, he must be a real Hero then."Twilight said in a quiet and suspicious voice.
Shining then frowned as she approached Twilight closely, "Twilight, the cloaked pony is the reason we're here, I think the pony may have been...Heavy Weight." he grimly said.
"It was Heavy Weight silly, he saved us from a Huge Crackodile and a black Ursa major, and he beat them easily like a champion!" Pinkie Pie blurted out.
While Shining's eyes widened, Twilight turned to Pinkie with a angry look, "PINKIE PIE!" Twilight shouted.
"oops, was i not suppose to tell them that?" Pinkie said in a guilty voice.
Shining had then put his hooves on Twilight's shoulders and gave her a serious look, "Twily listen, if Heavy is here you have to tell me, I need to protect you from him!" Shining exclaimed.
Twilight then got angry and shoved Shining off her and stomped down with her left hoof spooking her friends, the guards and even Cadence, "protection?! I don't need protection from him, he is not our enemy here Shining, why would you even say that?!" she said in a furious tone.
"Twily, you of all ponies should know how dangerous he is, I mean he pounded you to a pulp the last time you saw each other." Shining replied.
"How dare you, he is not dangerous...well he is dangerous, but not to us, I can't believe your saying this about him!" Twilight yelled.
"How can you defend this guy, if you knew how much of a ''monster'' he is, you wouldn't be defending him so much!" Shining said loudly.
Twilight then gasped before suddenly rearing back hoof and viciously slapping Shining so hard that he fell backwards on his flank, the act shocked everypony, especially Shining who was slowly getting back up holding his face in pain while Flash Sentry tried to hold Twilight back with little success, "w-what was that for?!" Shining exclaimed.
Twilight was now super furious as she began to shove Shining into the train "How dare you call him that, maybe he was a monster to you and your guards and maybe even Celestia, but to me he was something else...he was a true friend and a wonderful pony, and i cared about him...a lot more than you think, so don't you ever call him a monster again, especially in front of me." she growled.
Everypony was now scared as they noticed Twilight had pinned Shining against the train, Cadence then stepped in and broke them apart, "easy Twilight, please just calm down, what ever is going on between you, Heavy and Shining, I'm sure it can be resolved." Cadence pleaded as she gently pulled Twilight of Shining.
While Twilight was being calmed by her friends, Cadence was doing the same for Shining Armor, suddenly a familiar voice rung out and surprised everypony, but Twilight.
"So am I invited to this little friendship reunion, sounds like your all really hitting it off."
They all looked behind them, and saw Heavy weight standing behind five downed crystal guards at the edge of the station, they were all in shock as Heavy began to walk towards them casually, meanwhile Shining and Flash Sentry got into a defensive position.
"What did you do to my guards!" Shining roared.
Heavy just chuckled, "Don't worry Shining their not dead, I didn't feel like getting my hooves dirty so i merely just put them to sleep for a bit, so hows it going "Prince Shining Armor" Heavy said in sarcasm. Shining just gritted his teeth, while Heavy just laughed him off as a joke, "Come on Shining is that anyway to greet old friends?" Heavy said sarcastically again.
"Your not my friend Heavy, what are you doing here anyway?" Shining growled.
"Fine, no reason, just felt like seeing old friends, save a few flanks, and...to see Twilight again." Heavy said in a more calm yet serious voice.
"You stay away from my sister!" Shining said as he suddenly blasted a beam of magic at Heavy, Heavy just smirked as the beam made contact and exploded in a cloud of dust. every pony backed up and took cover except for Twilight, Shining and Flash Sentry, while Flash and Shining stood side by side, Twilight stood in front of them with a furious look.
"Guys! just leave him alone!" she yelled, but then she backed away from them, with a worried look as she then saw Heavy right behind both of them smirking in amusement.
"You can't reason with them Twilight, their idiots, they don't know any better, let alone their own limits." Heavy mocked. Flash suddenly spun around to punch Heavy, but was stopped cold by a Heavy's hoof blocking the punch, as Flash struggled, Heavy rose Flash up by his hoof, exposing his belly and delivered a vicious punch of his own right into Flash's gut, the impact knocked the wind out of Flash as well as sent him flying out of the station and crashing him into a building just outside of the train station, knocking him completely unconciuss. Shining Armor turned around only to be face to face with Heavy Weight, as Heavy stared him down Shining's courage completely left him and he was now scared for his life, Heavy then smiled, "now do me a favor Shining, next time you try something like that, rethink it, or better yet, listen to your sister...she knows best ya know." he said looking at Twilight with a solemn yet slightly happy look.
"What are you waiting for Heavy? kill him, that's what your good at right?" a dark voice rung out through the station.
While other ponies looked around in confusion, Heavy then turned and glared at the outside of the station, he then ran outside with all the ponies right on his tail. As he exited the station he looked around for the source and finally he found it. Standing on the branch of a dead tree, was the dark Alicorn he had seen in the cave the day before. As the mysterious Alicorn stared him down, Heavy then broke the silence, "you, I don't believe we have properly met yet." Heavy said in a low voice.
The dark Alicorn just smiled evilly as everypony including a few Ponyville citizen gathered to see Heavy and the Alicorn face each other down, "really Heavy, you don't recognize me, well maybe you will remember this!" the Alicorn roared as he moved his mane away to reveal a burn scar in the center of his chest, as everypony looked at the scar, Heavy's eyes suddenly widened with disbelief
"Dark Shine!" Heavy exclaimed. The Alicorn smiled proudly at Heavy's persistence as he descended from the tree and landed ten feet from Heavy, "I thought you were dead." Heavy spat.
"Wait, why would Dark Shine be dead Heavy? I thought he just ran away." Twilight asked worriedly.
"Oh you would like to think that wouldn't you Twilight." Dark spat.
Shining then stepped forward, " Heavy killed him when he was six and dumped Dark's body over the walls to the ground below, isn't that right Heavy." Shining said.
Everypony gasp and looked at Heavy with fear while Twilight grabbed Heavy's hoof, "Heavy? is this true?" she asked in a quiet voice.
"Yes its true, he killed me, or rather he tried, but as fate would have it, my time had not yet come." Dark Shine said. "It all started when Heavy hit me with that enormous lightning bolt he pulled from the sky, when it hit me It felt like a small death, suddenly I lost consciousness believing my time was over, suddenly I awoke to being dragged into the Everfree forest by these thick black thorn vines."As they dragged me deeper into the forest, my wound began to heal, and I began to grow strong, when i was right in the heart of the Everfree I resided in the forest, growing stronger feeding off the dark magic of the forest and aging rapidly till i was the appropriate age prior to this time."And as a bonus I grew wings and became an all mighty Alicorn! now I reside deep in the forest plotting my revenge on not just you Heavy, but Canterlot as well." Dark explained."Oh and by the way, thanks for killing all my special monsters I rounded up, do you have any idea how hard it was to found those kind of creatures?!" he roared.
"No, and i don't care." Heavy said."By the way, why try and destroy Canterlot?" he finished.
"Because they forgot about me so easily, as if i was just a ghost, like i was some no pony, but now all of Equestria will soon bow to me and claim me as ruler of the world!" Dark roared.
Shining then gritted his teeth and disbelief, "I can't believe this, I defended you all this time, and treated Heavy like a monster, and I actually mourned for you, and here you are, plotting to destroy your own home out of revenge and madness, I can't believe you Dark Shine!"Shining yelled in fury.
Dark just chuckled, "Dark Shine? Ha, I'm no longer Dark Shine, I am now Dark Star and you will fear me!" he roared as he blasted a red beam of magic at everypony, but as the beam made contact it was merely deflected by an ice blue shield that formed around a everypony, Dark looked around only to see that the shield came from Heavy Weight, he frown realizing Heavy's power, "my Heavy, you have gotten a lot stronger since the last time we met haven't you."Dark sneered.
Heavy just dropped the shield and glared at Dark Star, "leave them out of this Dark, this is between you and me." Heavy said in a low and angry voice.
"So be it."Dark Star replied.
(Haruka Kanata, Naruto(Song Plays Now)
All the ponies watched as the two Alicorns faced off, it started as a solid minute of death stares, finally Dark made his move. He blasted a magic beam at Heavy who in return blasted a beam of his own back at Dark, their beams made contact with each other and exploded on impact. When the explosion cleared Dark smiled as his neck suddenly stretch out like a snake and in a flash he grew sharp fangs and sped towards Heavy to strike like a snake, Heavy only raised an eyebrow as he dodged and took off into the air, Dark star quickly retracted his head back to his body, looked up and gradually flew after him. They then began a series of head butts in mid air, not giving in to each other they both exchange switched to firing magical beams at each other, finally Heavy manages to hit Dark right in the stomach with a well placed blast and forced Dark Star to plummet to the ground. Heavy then followed up with a large comet charge and he quickly began charging down completely covered in a large comet of magic, Dark saw this and regained his balance in flight and threw up a shield to defend, but the shield was smashed to pieces and he took a brutal hit to the head from the charge. They both plummeted to the ground and crashed in an explosion of dust and debris, everypony watched with amazement as Heavy suddenly teleported in front of them with only a scratch on his head.
"Heavy, are you okay?" Twilight asked in fear.
"Yeah I'm fine, don't worry i got this." he replied in a reassuring voice as he looked to the crater.
Dark Star suddenly immerged and growled as he blasted a beam at Heavy, in return Heavy threw up a shield and defended everypony from the blast. As Heavy lowered the shield, he notice a fountain full of water and suddenly an idea sprang up in his head. As the two Alicorns stared each other down, Heavy's horn began to glow as he then turned to the fountain, suddenly a massive amount of water rose from it and floated towards Dark who tried to blast it away, but his magic beam only past right through the water. The water then surrounded him and closed in around him, now trapping him in a sphere prison of water, Dark Star struggled and kicked around while holding his breath, but couldn't manage to break free from his watery prison. Heavy then began to shake and throw the water sphere around, trying to make Dark panic and drown, finally Heavy gave up and threw the sphere into a tree, making the sphere explode on impact. As Dark coughed up water, he then felt a sharp pain in left front hoof and his back right hoof, he looked at them to discover that sharp tree branches have punctured through his legs and had pinned him into the tree, "AAAAAAAAGH" he roared as he tried to get unstuck from the tree. Heavy just smirked as he then began to charge directly at Dark Star, as he got closer, his entire body lit up in a bright ice blue aura and he suddenly took off like a bullet right at Dark Star who's eyes widened and was gripped with fear. Heavy finally made impact with Dark destroying the whole tree and carrying Dark a good twenty feet before smashing him into the ground in a large explosion that shook the whole town. When the dust cleared, Heavy was standing right on top of Dark Star who was now spread eagle under Heavy and looked terrified by the now furious Heavy Weight who gritted his teeth and poured a ton of magic into his right hoof, as he gave Dark one last death stare before rearing back and bringing down an earth shattering right hook that smashed into Dark's gut and formed a large crater right under them, Heavy then back flipped away allowing Dark to move, but all he could do was crawl and cough up blood.
(Song ends)
"Time to die Dark Shine!" Heavy shouted as he charged in to finish Dark off.
"This is not over Heavy, you better watch your back from now on."Dark said as he smirked showing that he had one more trick to show, he then turned to face the attacking Heavy and with a flash of his horn, he unleashed a flash of bright red light that blinded everypony, giving Dark Star the chance he needed to crawl out of the crater and teleport to safety. As all of the ponies visions came back they were upset to see that Dark Star escaped, this angered Heavy greatly.
"Great, he escaped, once a coward...always a coward" Heavy stated. He then turned to all the ponies who gave him concerned looks, "What" he said.
"That...was...so...AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed greatly.
Everypony then began to cheer for Heavy including all the citizens of Ponyville who also watched the battle with great amazement. As Heavy took in this good feeling of being appreciated, he was suddenly hugged tightly by Twilight who was happy as she could possibly be, "oh Heavy, thank you for saving us." she said happily.
Heavy was then confused by her affection, "I don't understand, I thought you would be upset or scared of me, I mean I lied about Dark Shine, and I even killed somepony, or at least I tried to." he said grimly.
Twilight then surprised Heavy and everypony else by kissing Heavy not on the cheek, but on the lips. Everyponys mouths dropped by this act, while Twilight broke the kiss after a solid moment and kept on hugging him, "what ever you were in the past doesn't matter anymore, today you are a hero, and today I truly have back." she said happily while Heavy was still taken back from the kiss. As Flash finally immerged from the wrecked building he saw the kiss and bowed his head in shame realizing his chances with Twilight were gone, he then walked back to join the still sleeping guards.
Shining then approached Heavy, not with anger, but with a solemn look, and a guilty look mixed with a smile, "Heavy, listen I just wanna say...I'm sorry for giving you grief your whole life, I blamed you for a crime you didn't commit and I ruined our friendship with this life long issue, so if you want...we can start over if you like, so what do you say...friends?" Shining said extending a hoof to Heavy. Heavy just looked at the hoof for a moment before smiling peacefully and hoof bumping with Shining. With their issues settled Cadence and Shining Armor along with the rest of their guards that had finally awoken from their naps left to go back to the empire, as they began to leave, Heavy stopped them by teleporting in front of them.
"Wait! I thought you came to protect Twilight from me." Heavy playfully said.
Shining just Chuckled, "I think she is in safe hooves, for now" Shining said as they left to catch the train, leaving Heavy to deal with the crowd of happy ponies and a happy princess Twilight.
"So Heavy, will you stay?" Twilight asked.
Heavy thought for only a second before smiling, "sure, I can't just leave you unprotected can I, what kind of pony would i be then?" Heavy replied.
Twilight lit up and ran to him and hugged him again as the crowd continued to cheer, Twilight and Heavy decided to walk home together, with Twilight resting peacefully on Heavy's shoulder. Suddenly Spike came out of a hiding place he hid in when the fireworks started flying, he looked around and saw Heavy and Twilight going back to the library, and he then raced to catch up.
"Twilight! Heavy! Wait up!" he called out as he finally manage to catch up with them.
