Chapter 19
Heavy, Twilight and Sunset were now staring down the Gryphon servant ready for a fight, but were now in great shock as the enemy revealed none other than Golden Heart, the mother of Heavy Weight, now at his side ready to fight as well. Needless to say, Heavy and the girls were shocked, Heavy shook and widened his eyes as he dropped to his knees in complete devastation, Sunset just stood there with her jaw wide opened as she saw the woman she knew as long as he knew Heavy. Twilight stood tall and gave a sad look as she was finally meeting her colt friends mother for the first time, she then turned to her friends and the other students of Canterlot high as they watched with fear."Everybody! go back inside! It's not safe here any more, go inside immediately!"she yelled, getting the students attention, they all complied and went inside, leaving the trio of lovers to deal with the enemy, the Gryphon then smiled as he turned to Golden Heart.
"Well...what are you waiting for? go to your son,"the Gryphon ordered in a quiet tone in her ear. Golden Heart complied with a nod and slowly started walking towards Heavy an the girls while keeping a blank and emotionless face, Heavy slowly got up and walked to her and acting as if he was going to hug her, the girls however were not buying this.
"This can't be right, Golden Heart died years ago, how is she here?"Twilight questioned a she turned to Sunset for an answer.
"I...I don't know, this isn't possible, but I can feel it...this is the real Golden Heart, but there's something off about her,"Sunset answered as she pointed out the black colored eyes and the blank expression on Golden Heart's face, Twilight's eyes suddenly widened as she felt a familiar feeling come over her, that she had felt many times when fighting an evil enemy.
"Do you feel it?...I feel dark magic coming off her,"Twilight warned as she noticed Heavy was almost within reach of Golden Heart."Heavy no! Its a trap!"
"Get away from her Heavy!"Sunset yelled as her and Twilight ran to stop Heavy from hugging his mom. As Heavy was about to hug his mom, Golden Heart suddenly back flipped and kicked Heavy in the jaw in the process, sending him flying into the air, luckily Twilight flew up and caught him, she then brought him back down to the ground as Golden Heart landed in front of her dark master.
"Heavy, are you okay?"Twilight asked worriedly, as she helped Heavy to his feet.
"I...I don't understand, why would she do that? my mother would never do that,"He said in confusion.
"She's being controlled with dark magic Heavy, she's not in control of herself,"Twilight informed, Sunset just stood in front of the two ready for a fight.
"What did you do to Golden Heart!"Sunset shouted, only getting a small chuckle from the Gryphon.
"Its simple really, all i did was raid Golden's little grave Heavy made for her at that lovely plain of yours, I dug her jar of ashes up, and used a revival scroll infused with dark magic that binds her to my will, now that I have her at my command, I doubt I'll have any trouble dealing with the three of you,"The Gryphon explained with a cocky smile."Go on, tell them what you are."
Golden Heart then stood forward."I am the servant of the my master and a peasant of Dark Star, and my mission...is to...destroy my son,"Golden said with a bit of a struggle, but no one noticed. Heavy felt distraught and shocked by what he just heard as he got up, he then began to walk to her once more as tears formed in hi eyes.
"Mom, Its me mom...don't you remember me?"Heavy asked in a shaky voice, Sunset just stood in front of him and stopped him from progressing any further.
"Heavy, Golden Heart is under his control...we're going to have to fight her,"Sunset said much to Heavy's displeasure.
"I won't fight my own mother, I know she is still in there,"Heavy defiantly said.
"Then your just going to have to stay out of the way Heavy, and leave the fighting to us,"Twilight said as he came to Sunset's side and prepared to fight as well, Heavy was shocked at the girls desire to fight and defend him, but at the same time he was feeling ashamed of himself for not fighting the enemy.
As the girls prepared for a fight, Golden Heart and the Gryphon suddenly sprang towards them, the girls instinctively found their targets and began to fight, As Sunset began go hand to hand combat with golden Heart, Twilight locked arms with the Gryphon and were fighting for control of the battle field. Sunset and Golden Heart went at it hard, Sunset manage to strike a few good blows as she struck Golden several times in the face, but they had no effect as Golden just shook them off like they were nothing. Sunset then blasted a beam of magic at Golden, and in return Golden shot a blast of magic at Sunset, the minute their beams collided and exploded on impact, Sunset jumped into the air, but was met with Golden Heart in her face in the air and was struck back down to the ground by a vicious right hook. Sunset recovered and landed on her feet and threw up a shield as Golden Heart came down to the ground with both fist and smashed Sunset's shield to pieces, Golden then tried to round house kick Sunset, but she manage to dodge the kick and uppercut her opponent away, but Golden manage to land on her feet and shrug off the blow like it was nothing, much to Sunset's surprise."Geez, what is with her? its like I'm fighting a zombie...Golden Heart was anything but a zombie when i first met her,"Sunset thought solemnly as she continued her battle with Golden Heart.
Twilight in the meantime was fighting her own battle with the Gryphon, she manage to over power him in their lock up and punched him in the nose, drawing blood for him already, this made the Gryphon angry and in return he breathed a stream of fire at Twilight, but she manage to dodge it and then swooped in for an Ariel assault. The Gryphon smiled and caught Twilight a she was about to strike him, he held her by the throat and began to strangle her, she turned to Heavy who was still distraught and turned back to the Gryphon and gritted her teeth in anger."I never thought you could ever go so low as to rob the remains of a good unicorn mother and use her to destroy her son, and i thought i had seen it all, you and Dark Star have hit a whole new low,"Twilight said as she then kicked the enemy in the face and took flight to get away from her attacker, the Gryphon recovered and smiled a he joined her in the air.
"We all do what we must to full fill our desires, even if it means taking such drastic measures,"He said as he quickly slashed at Twilight, scratching her arm in the process, this only angered Twilight as their battle continued in the air. Twilight attacked and was punched away by the Gryphon and was grabbed and put in a choke hold, during Sunset Shimmer's battle, she manage to knock Golden Heart back and looked up to see Twilight in trouble and helped by levitating a car from the parking lot and dropping it on the Gryphon's head, knocking him out, making him plummet with the car still on his head and freeing Twilight from his grip. Twilight looked at her downed opponent and then turned to Sunset who was waving at her, showing that she was the one who helped her, Twilight then smiled with gratitude.
"Thanks for the save!"Twilight called out, Sunset gave her a thumbs up, but was then kicked in the nose by Golden Heart and was knocked to the ground, while Sunset struggled to get up, Golden Heart then turned to Heavy and charged right at him with her magic charged up in her fists. Sunset got up and rushed to Heavy's aid but knew she wouldn't make it in time, all she could do was call out to him.
"Heavy! she's coming for you, you have to fight back!"Sunset shouted to the oblivious Heavy. Heavy merely lifted his head just in time to see Golden Heart punch him right in the nose making him stumble back, she then kicked him in the gut and made him scrunged up in pain, the girls couldn't believe he was not fighting back or defending himself from her. He kept taking punches and kicks from his mother till he began to get tipsy, Golden Heart then kicked him in the face making his lip bleed as he flew back and landed on the ground hard, he didn't even bother getting up as his mother hovered over him and reared back a magical fist and stared blankly at her downed son."I'm sorry son, but this is where it ends for you,"Golden said as she prepared to end it.
"Golden Heart! Don't do it!"Twilight yelled as she landed back on the ground and pleaded with the mother, Sunset was next to come up by Twilight's side.
"Please Golden Heart, he's your son, he loves you, even at this moment he still loves you, that's why he's not fighting back Golden Heart, he doesn't want to hurt you,"Sunset explained in a plead. Golden Heart's fist suddenly stopped and shook vigorously and tears began to form in her eyes as she stared back at her son.
"I knew it, your fighting the dark magic aren't you Golden Heart, well you gotta fight harder, this isn't what you want...did you at least want to see your son, think about that!"Twilight said to the confused mother.
"I...I must destroy him, it is what...my master wants,"Golden Heart said with a struggle.
"But that's not what you want Golden Heart, just look at him, do you really want to hurt your own son, I could tell from when i first met you that you would never do anything to hurt Heavy, you love your son and you know it, you don't have to do this,"Sunset said as she inched closer to her.
"But I..."Golden Heart started before looking at Heavy once again, as she stared at her son, she suddenly put down her fist and tears began to stream down her face as she saw tears streamed down Heavy's face as well. She then gripped her mind in pain as she suddenly backed away from Heavy and tried to fight the control of the Gryphon, as Heavy got up, she stared at him with a sad look."Heavy...my son...my little colt, please Heavy...make it stop please."
"W-what do you mean mom, I could never hurt you,"Heavy said in a plead, his mother just shook roughly as she got closer to him.
"Please Heavy...I...I don't want to hurt you either, but I can't fight it any more, he wants me to kill you Heavy...please my son just end it, I want you to put me back to rest, you can't save me,"Golden begged in a grim voice.
"I-I won't,"Heavy defied earning worried looks from Sunset and Twilight.
"Heavy you have to do it, look at her, she's suffering Heavy, she doesn't want to hurt you, but she has no choice, all you can do is...put her out of her misery,"Sunset said grimly said as she held him close.
"Please Heavy, do the right thing,"Twilight said as she took his hand into her own, Heavy still struggled with the choice and turned his head away to hide his tears. Suddenly with the last bit of will power she had left, Golden Heart hatched a plan and turned to her son with a proud look on her face.
"Heavy, you have grown up so much my son, I mean look at you,"she said getting their attention as she gestured to Heavy's appearance."Your an alicorn now, you have to beautiful mare friends and you are the most powerful pony i have ever seen in my life, I'm so proud of you."
"Mom?"Heavy said as he turned back to look at her mom with tear still in his eyes, Golden Heart smiled at her son as she teared up once more.
"Please my son, if anything...let me have one last battle with my son,"she said as she got into a fighting stance."Come now Heavy...Show mommy what you can do."
Heavy suddenly lit up as he remembered her always saying that to him to always get him fired up, and this time it worked again, Heavy dried his eyes and nodded with understanding as he then charged towards his mom with a new feeling of courage in him as him and Golden Heart began to fight, while the girls watched in astonishment.

As Heavy came in for a punch, Golden Heart did the same and attempted to punch Heavy as well, their punches connected and sent a shock wave through out the land and almost knocked the girls off their feet. Heavy then saw that Golden Heart cringed in pain from the impact and made a quick punch in her gut and sent her flying into the brick walls of the school, but she only smiled through the pain as she felt her son's power while sliding down to the ground. She got up and ran to Heavy with a smile on her face as she blasted a beam of magic at him, he deflected it with a shield and jumped in the air and came down with a powerful kick to the head that knocked Golden Heart to the ground, she got back up and felt herself getting weak as she tried to punch him again. Finally Heavy had enough and grabbed her fist and crushed it in his hand, he released her and tackled her to the ground and started to unleash a flurry of punches to her face, she tried to block, but she was powerless to stop him, finally she gave in as she felt herself get heavy and was unable to move, at that same time Heavy manage to stop his attack and catch his breath as he looked at his mother who just laid there and smiled at him with a sense of pride for him."My Heavy Weight, my grown up Heavy Weight, I'm so proud of you and i always will be...just for having you for a son,"Golden Heart said as she suddenly fell unconscious while Heavy finally got off her, now completely devastated with what he just did.

"I love you mom, I always will,"Heavy said as he began to sob as he got off his out cold mother, the girls some him sobbing and rushed to him.
"Heavy...you had to do it, you had to,"Twilight said as she took his hand and hugged him for comfort.
"Its okay now Heavy, its over now, you don't need to hurt anymore,"Sunset said trying not to cry. As they held each other, the Gryphon finally awoke from his untimely nap and glared at the trio and was about to blast them with a stream of fire, but before he could even inhale, Golden Heart jumped in front of him and punched him in the nose sending him backwards and landed on his flank."What is wrong with you! your suppose to kill them!"the Gryphon yelled in confusion, Golden Heart only glared at him as she gritted her teeth in fury.
"Not anymore scum, I would never hurt my son, but I'm more than willing to kill you,"Golden Heart said, getting everybody's attention. The Gryphon only smiled as he lifted his hand up and made it glow red, suddenly Golden Heart felt like she was being drained and restrained at the same time, the Gryphon only continued to smile a he continued to use his magic.
"You fool, you are powered by my dark magic, I can easily take it back if i must and well...since you have now defied me, your usefulness is now used up,"the Gryphon said as he drained her of the dark magic she had, making himself stronger with every past second. Golden Heart turned to the trio that looked on with horror and sadness as she then began to disintegrated into ash once more and manage to give them all a small smile.
"Heavy Weight, no matter what happens...I love you son, you have made me so proud to be your mother, the rest is up to you now...full fill your destiny my son,"Golden Heart said as she went back to being a pile of ash. They all teared up for a moment as they once again lost Golden Heart, Heavy and the girls dried their eyes and glared at the enemy while the Gryphon just chuckled at him.
"Now what will you do Heavy? your all alone now, no mentor, no mother, all alone."the Gryphon mocked.
"That's not true!"Sunset shouted as she stood up for both Heavy and Twilight."Heavy has me and Twilight, and he will always have us by his side, i use to fear him, but now i saw through my fear of him and saw a peace loving colt who has powers far beyond belief, but he was alone."I know what that's like, just like Twilight does and i believe that maybe it was destiny that brought us together, because now we can't separate with each other, we are connected and our love and friendship is what made us strong together, I know this because...I have realized my destiny!"Sunset said as her, Heavy and Twilight's eyes glowed white and a rush of power flowed through them.
"W-what is this?"the Gryphon asked in fear.
"It is the power of our love, there is nothing stronger than it, the only fool here was you,"Heavy said as he took the girls hands and an aura of white magic glowed around them, they then put their hands together and formed an enormous orb of white magic, as it grew larger, the sky went black and the wind picked and stung the Gryphon's face, finally the trio unleashed a massive orb of magic at the Gryphon.
"NO! Th-this can't be happening!"the Gryphon yelled as he took off and tried to fly away, but the orb easily caught up to him and he quickly turned around and tried to block it, but he was easily consumed by the orb."No...NO...NOOOOOOOOO!"
As the Gryphon screamed for mercy he was immediately incinerated and reduced to nothing, but dust, the orb exploded and sent a rainbow of colors through out the sky and kicked up a massive storm of dust with it. It was only after a good five minutes that the dust and sparks of rainbow magic began to settle and finally it uncovered Heavy and his girls, as they cleared the dust and saw that the Gryphon was finally destroyed, Heavy sighed as he looked to Twilight and Sunset, they then opened their eyes and looked at Heavy who just stared back with a big smile on his face, Twilight rose an eyebrow at this."Um...Heavy? I know we won and everything, but what are you smiling so big for?"she asked curiously, he then pointed to Sunset Shimmer who looked confused.
"What do i have to do with anything?"Sunset asked as she scratched her back, she then suddenly felt something that felt like feathers on her back, she became confused as Twilight stared at her with a surprise look."Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Sunset Shimmer, you...you...just look at your wings!"Twilight exclaimed and pointed at her.
"Wings? what wings?"Sunset said as she looked to her sides and got the shock of her life, the minute she looked to her sides, he was surprised by a pair of orange wings that had grown out of her back, she gripped them and felt their soft feathers as she came to grips with what she now was."I...I have wings, I have wings! I'm an alicorn now!"Sunset yelled in happiness.
"You think that's good...just wait for it,"Heavy said suspiciously.
"Wait for what-"Before Sunset couldn't finish, she then felt a large rush of new found magical power flowing through her like a rushing river, she now felt a power that was unlike anything she had ever felt before, she never even felt this strong when she had Twilight's crown in her possession."Wow, what is this power? It's...incredible"
"You'll get use to it, it just comes with the transformation from unicorn to alicorn,"Heavy explained as he then turned to the pile of ash were his mother once was, he then saw a jar roll in front of him, revealing to be the urn that he put his mothers ashes in. He picked up the urn and magically picked up the ashes and put them back in the urn, as he closed the lid and contain the ashes, the girls came up to him with hopeful smiles.
"At least you got to see her one more time,"Twilight said in a attempt to cheer him up, he just stared at the urn with a solemn look, finally he smiled.
"I know, when we leave this world I'll put her back in her grave...where she belongs,"He said as he held the remains of his mother closely.
"Um guys? the portal has closed,"Sunset said as she pounded away at the portal but only hit solid concrete, but this did not deterr them.
"That's alright, we can just wait for a month until it opens again,"Twilight reassured a she turned to Heavy with a smile, he then nodded in agreement.
"Yes...I suppose we could stay until the portal opens again, you wouldn't mind if we stayed with you until then do you Sunset?"Heavy asked.
"Of course you can Heavy, as long as the three of us are together...It doesn't matter to me,"Sunset said happily as she hugged both of them. It was then that all the students including their friends and even the vice principle and principle came running out of the building in fear, but was soon happy to see all three of them standing together happy and victorious.
"Twilight, Heavy, Sunset! thank goodness your all alright!"Rarity exclaimed.
"I'll say, we saw the whole battle through the window,"Apple Jack added.
"Your all hero's!"Rainbow Dash yelled out with excitement. It was then that they saw Sunset Shimmers new pair of wings and gasp in pure shock.
"Oh...my...Gosh! Sunset Shimmer you have wings now!"Pinkie exclaimed as she jumped for joy.
"Wow Sunset, you look beautiful with those wings,"Fluttershy commented, making Sunset blush with embarrassment.
"Thanks Fluttershy,"Sunset replied softly, It was then that Celestia and Luna came up to them with their arms cross.
"Well...once again the three of you showed courage in the face of danger and now our world is free from the claws of that monster for good, thank you all,"Celestia thanked sincerely.
"Yes and now thanks to these recent events, we will now have to end school early so we can clean up and prepare for the spring formal dance tomorrow,"Luna added, It was then that the crowed of students cheered for an early dismissal and were already going back to the buses to go home, with their work done, Heavy took the hands of his girls and they all walked home to Sunset's house, with Golden Hearts remains in the arms of Sunset, now knowing that she can now rest in peace.
