Chapter 25: fighting spirit, hidden power
The day was calm and cool a perfect day to hang out, go relax at the beach, spend a day at the spa, or have a picnic.
But for others, some just wanna be in isolation but for dillon that wasn't the case. Before he came to equestira and before he and fluttershy meet, dillon was a shy, weak, and quiet child.
He was hated by his own family, abused by his mother, rejected by his father, picked on at school by Richard, and ignored by teens his own age. The only person that he could call his friend was his cousin Clayton, a boy who was fearless, wild, cool, kind to everyone, vengeful to his enemies, and a true major badass.
Everyone wanted to be just like Clayton at the High school that they went to, girls kept trying to give him his number, boys always wrote down what type of motivation that he would give them. Hell even the bullies except Richard would even welcome him with open arms, he wanted to be just like him. Not because of the people adoring him but becuase he was everything that he was not.
But once he finally stood up to his mother he knew that he was becoming something different, something stronger...something powerful...he was becoming great in his own way and that alone made him proud.
FLUTTERSHY'S HOUSE
Dillon was downstairs in the living room doing push ups as the dim light hit his face a bit, he was shirtless and had on some black jeans that rarity had made him. The sweat kept dropping from his body as he did his exercise.
"sixty one...sixty two...sixty three...sixty four! Whew done" he said as he then sat on his knees and grabbed the towel that was next to him as he whipped the sweat off of his body, fluttershy quietly came downstairs as she hummed to herself.
"hmmmmm. Oh g-good morning d-dillon. H-how are you doi-" she stopped speaking as she stood at the bottom step and stared at dillon who was rubbing off his arms.
She blushed madly at the sight of this, she knew that dillon was working out in the morning but she never knew how hot he looked when he finished. He looked at her and smiled "hey. Morning fluttershy" he said, fluttershy just looked at him still blushing and not saying a word.
"ummm fluttershy?".
"oh! S-sorry...umm..h-how are you doing today dillon?".
He started to stretch his arms a bit "ahhh. I'm doing good fluttershy. Just working out" he said, she walked over to him and hugged his leg "that's good to hear" she said in her sweet voice. Dillon then leaned down to her and picked her up into his arms and hugged her close to his bear chest.
She blushed even more as she closed her eyes and snuggled into his chest smiling, he then whispered into her ear "I love you fluttershy", this made fluttershy look up into dillon's eyes with her big green eyes.
"y-you do?".
"yes I truly do. And couldn't be happier than to be by your side".
She then leaned up to his face and kissed his lips as she wrapped her hoofs around his neck, they kissed for seven minutes before they broke out of the loving and sweet embrace.
They both looked into each others eyes blushing as they then laid there heads on each others shoulders, fluttershy loved this she never had anyone confess there feelings to her let alone fall in love with her. She loved dillon with every bit of her heart and she couldn't have been more happier than to be with him just as he wanted to be with her.
Dillon then placed her on the floor as he walked over to the chair and grabbed his white shirt and black leather jacket, he walked over to the door and turned back to see fluttershy taking care of some of her animals.
He smiled at her as he walked out of the door and closed it gently, as dillon left the house fluttershy was humming to herself as she was feeding the animals there breakfast.
As she was feeding them angel was looking around the kitchen to find his carrot so he could eat it, he looked all over the kitchen until he found it in one of the cupboards when he pulled it out he saw a small black box fall to the floor. He titled his head and looked at the small black box as he hopped over to it and opened it, inside it showed the golden peace sign necklace that dillon had bought a few days ago.
He then looked at it and saw that it said: to my loving joy in black letters engraved onto the necklace. He then looked at fluttershy who was still tending her animals, angel then closed the box and picked it up as he then climbed up onto the kitchen table and hopped up and placed the black box back into the cupboard and closed the cupboard door.
Fluttershy then walked into the kitchen to see angel on the floor nibbling on his carrot "good morning angel" she said as she rubbed his head "I see you found your carrot", angel smiled and nodded at her.
"well you enjoy it. Mama has to go out for a bit. But I will be back soon ok".
Angel watched her walk out of the house closing the door as he went back to enjoying his carrot.
SUGERCUBE CORNER
Fluttershy walked inside the store as she then stopped at the counter. Pinky pie then appeared on the other side of the counter smiling "hi fluttershy!" pinky pie said in her bubbly voice, "hello pinky pie. A-are you ready for our picnic today?".
"yes I am. And I got the sweets all ready to go".
"t-that's good. Twilight told me the other day that we would be meeting on the hill".
"oki doki" she said as she grabbed her basket of goodies and bounced over the counter and out of the door as fluttershy followed her.
THE FOREST
dillon was in the forest sitting on a rock shirtless under a waterfall as the water hit his shoulders. He had his eyes closed as he was in thought, he was thinking about fluttershy.
But he was also thinking of something that had happened five days ago: the necklace that he bought so that he could give to her. "what should I do?" he thought "I wanna tell her so badly. But I don't want to come on too strong. Hmmm maybe I should wait a year to tell her...nah then ll'l just forget", he kept thinking and thinking on ways to tell her.
"I love her so much and I really wanna be with her. I want to be with her until the end. I wanna be by her side" he kept thinking and thinking on his dilemma on what to do.
THE HILL
Everyone was at the hill as they all waited for fluttershy and pinky pie. Rarity was sitting next to Corey's side as he petted her mane, jack was watching the clouds go by, max and twilight were reading a book together, sam and applejack were laying back on a tree in the shade, and rainbow dash was wearing her sunglasses as she enjoyed the sunlight beaming down on her.
Fluttershy and pinky pie walked up the hill reaching there friends "Jackie!" pinky pie shouted as she zoomed past fluttershy, jack quickly sat up as he heard his name being called by his favorite mare "pinky" jack said as he held out his arms for her as she then came right into his embrace.
"Jackie. I missed you".
"hehe. I've only been gone for a little bit while waiting for you to get here".
"I know. But I'm here now" she then smiled at him as she laid her head on his neck as he held her close.
Fluttershy got up to the hill and saw that dillon wasn't present "oh dear...h-has anypony s-seen dillon?".
Everyone shook there heads at her, this made fluttershy a bit upset.
"o-oh ok...w-well I'm sure that he'll b-be here s-soon" she said in a low tone, everyone stopped what they were doing as they all gathered around and started to enjoy themselves. Little did they know that a few miles away a bunch of hungry driven timberwolves were watching them.
As they all were enjoying there food sam decided to live up the picnic.
"so. Anybody got any good info that they wanna talk about?" he asked.
Everyone thought about this and thought of what they wanted to talk about, rainbow dash was the first to say hers "I got something". Everyone looked at her until twilight spoke up "what is it rainbow dash?".
"I found out that the wonderbolts were putting up flyers all over town for ponies that wanted to join the wonderbolt academy" she said with pride and joy, applejack smiled at her "well that's wonderful to hear. And I take it that yer gonna join right?".
"oh I'm way ahead of ya. Because I already sent them a letter to them today".
Max couldn't help it up rub her head "that's great rainbow dash".
Rainbow dash brushed his hand away "hehehe. I know right. I just hope that they pick me", "well I know that they will" Corey said "after all. You are the greatest flyer in all of equestira". Rainbow dash smiled at his complement, "yea I know. So any other pony got some awesome news?".
"well I don't know if this counts. But my magic has been improving more" max said. "yup. Max is a very fast learner. And I must say I'm very pleased" twilight said making max blush in embarrassment "hey I'm not that good twi" he said as he rubbed his neck, "but it's true. You have mastered all of the basic spells. And you have learned some of the most advanced magic spells as well" she said with a huge smile on her face.
Sam and applejack snickered "of course he would. The two of you are the most biggest egg heads that we know" they both said in unison as they kept snickering. Max and twilight both rolled there eyes as they turned to Corey and rarity, "so. Do you two have any news that you would like to share?" twilight asked them.
Rarity then raised up her hoof "well if you must know darling. Corey has been helping me with my fashion ideas. And I must say that his dress designs are exquisite". Corey then stopped petting her mane "well there ok" rarity then looked at him in a bit of shock as if she had been insulted "ok! Darling you have an eye for fashion. Not to mention a beautiful gift in artwork. You should be proud of you wonderful work", Corey was surprised he never knew how much rarity had loved his artwork of dress designs.
"wow rarity. I never knew that my artwork would be that much of an impact on you".
"well it's the truth. And I must say that I adore every bit of it" she said as she then leaned up and kissed his cheek making him smile. "aww jeez rarity. I don't know what to say".
"well I do".
"oh. And what's that?".
"could you please stroke my mane again for me Corey" she said as she fluttered her eyes at him, he chuckled at her display and went back to petting her mane.
Corey then looked at fluttershy who was eatting her vegetable sandwich "so fluttershy. What news do you have for us?", fluttershy stopped eating as she looked up at her friend "ummm...w-well".
"don't be shy were you friends fluttershy" jack said.
"well...I-I saw dillon t-this morning working out" she said as she hid under her hair, this made rainbow dash nudge her side "soooo. You got to see him working out huh? What was it like?" she asked in curious tone.
"it was s-something" she said as she thought back to how dillon looked when he finished his workout which made a shade of red form over her face.
"oh my" rarity said "it looks like you enjoyed it. Seeing as it's written all over your face hehe" fluttershy then covered her face as she looked away "oh my I'm sorry. I will keep it to myself".
Max then uncovered her face as she looked at him "fluttershy. It's alright if you thought dillon working out is cute we don't mind" he said, she then looked at her friends who all nodded at her.
She started to smile at them "t-thank you all. You all are the best friends a pony could h-have", they all then came into a warm hug.
As they were still hugging they all heard a loud howl in the distance, everyone then turned to see what the noise was "w-w-what was that?" fluttershy said as she hid behind max.
"I don't know. But what ever it is it doesn't sound good".
Sam then squinted his eyes to get a better look, as he squinted he saw something looking like...wood and it was running toward them.
"umm guys. I think the forest is moving" he said, applejack then hopped on sam's back and climbed up to see what he was talking about, "timberwolves!" applejack shouted. Everyone then Started to run from the hill and back to ponyville.
The timberwolves were hot on there trail as they kept chasing them. Applejack and sam picked up some rocks as they ran and started bucking and throwing them at the wolfs, some of the rocks hit them which made them fall apart as some of the rocks made them trip and fall.
"yehaw! We got some of them" applejack said.
"yea well we better keep running so we don't become food" sam said, he then grabbed applejack as he caught up with his friends. The last three timberwolves stopped as they all howled as the parts of there pack started to fly over to them as they all combined into one massive super timberwolf, the group kept running not looking back as they were halfway from ponyville.
"were almost there" jack said suddenly there was a huge quake in the ground that made the group fall onto the dirt road, "ow! Jeez what the heck was-" he stopped talking as he looked over behind himself to see a thirty foot massive super timberwolf coming straight for them, "fuuuuuuuucccccckkkkkk!" was all the boys could say as they saw the beast coming.
"uhh twi. Does magic work on this thing?" max asked in a hopeful tone.
"unfortunately no. Timberwolfs are immune to magic" she said as she held onto max for dear life.
"oh fuck" was all max could say, fluttershy then screamed at the top of her lungs "AHHHHHH!".
Dillon heard the scream as he was still in the forest under the waterfall "fluttershy?", he then got up as quick as he could and grabbed his shirt and jacket.
The super timberwolf was getting closer and closer to the group making the ground quake with each step that it took, max then looked over to see a huge bush "everyone hide!" he shouted as they all ran over to the bush except fluttershy who was on the ground hiding her face.
"fluttershy!" rarity yelled as fluttershy peaked over to see that her friends were nowhere near her, she then looked up to see the super timberwolf's gaping Maw drooling as it then sniffed it's prey. Fluttershy was paralyzed with fear as it sniffed her "d-dillon..h-h-help" she whimpered.
"HEY! JUST WHO THE HAY DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!".
Everyone then looked over to see dillon a few feet away from the super timberwolf as he pointed at it with his middle finger, "dillon!" fluttershy said in happy tone. Her happiness then went back to fear as the super timberwolf roared at her "AHHHH!".
"fluttershy!" dillon yelled as he ran over to her to save her, the super timberwolf then swatted the human away like a fly as he hit the ground hard. The super timberwolf then looked down at fluttershy who was crying in fear, everyone watched helplessly as the event took place.
Dillon got to his feet trying to ignore the pain that he felt in his legs and arms the pain felt like someone had hit him with a wreaking ball times three. "ugghh my head...huh fulttershy!" he yelled as he saw the super timberwolf look at her, fluttershy was too scared to respond to his call as she kept crying as the super timberwolf then circled it's paw into the ground.
"fluttershy!".
The super timberwolf then gripped the helpless yellow pony into it's paw and started to squeeze her painfully in it's grip, fluttershy could only scream as the pain from the super timberwolfs paw got tighter and tighter "AHHHHHHHHHH!".
dillon couldn't bear the sight before him as he watched in horror.
"fluttershy! FLUTTERSHY!".
Dillon then started to emit a huge amount of yellow energy as he then grabbed his windmill shuriken and made it glow, then then charged at the super timberwolf and slashed off it's left arm as he then pulled open it's hand and grabbed fluttershy into his arms.
"fluttershy. Are you alright? Please tell me your alright?" he said shedding tears.
Fluttershy opened her eyes and looked at her savior "d-dillon?".
"fluttershy".
She then started to cry as she held onto him tightly "oh dillon you came. Oh thank celestia", dillon placed his windmill shuriken to his side as he held onto his pride and joy. There friends started cheering for them "woohoo yeah dillon!" sam said, "yea man that was sweet bro!" max yelled as he gave him a thumbs up.
Dillon smiled at his friends until fluttershy poked his cheek "umm dillon?" he looked at her "yes fluttershy?". She then placed her hoofs on each side of his cheek and pulled his face down to hers and kissed him deeply.
Everyone awwwed at the sight before them as the two then broke the kiss.
"I love you dillon" fluttershy said.
"I love you too fluttershy".
Fluttershy then looks over his side to see the hand that he cut off the timberwolf start to glow and levitate back over to the super timberwolf, "ahhh dillon!" she cried as she pointed her hoof at the beast that was behind him.
He turned around to see the super timberwolf with a raged look on it's face as it roared at him. Dillon then saw it raise one of it's paws at him as he then jumped out of the way and landed over to his friends as it missed and hit the ground, he then placed fluttershy on the ground "you stay here darling. I will take care of this bastred" he said.
He then walked away from her before she could say anything as she looked at her lover with extreme worry, dillon then stood a few feet away from the super timberwolf as it moved it's left paw around a bit before hitting the ground.
Dillon then pulled his windmill shuriken from his side and gripped it tight "now then. I'm going to teach you a lesson. This lesson is called if you mess with fluttershy I will FUCKING KILL YOU!".
His eyes then start to glow pink as pink essence seeps out from the side if his eyes, he also then starts to emit another huge amount of yellow energy this time ten times the size.
Dillon then looks at the super timberwolf with a burning rage "FINISHING MOVE!".
Dillon then raises his left hand into the air holding his windmill shuriken as it then transforms into his cousins black kamina sunglasses to the size of a truck. "RAGING BOOMERANG!" he then throws the large sunglasses at the super timberwolf as it is covered in a pink and yellow flame as it spins in the air hitting him right in the chest and comes out the other side.
Dillon then cathes his weapon and turns his back from the super timberwolf as he places it on his back, after he does this the super timberwolf explodes into an array of pieces that soon burn away.
Everyone had there mouths drop at what they saw.
"that...was...awesome!" the boys yelled in unison.
"woah! That was the second coolest move I ever saw!" rainbow dash said.
"The second coolest thing? What's the first coolest thing besides this?" twilight asked her.
"clayton's sonic rainbow blade" she said with pride.
"I should have figured" twilight thought to herself.
Dillon's sunglass sword soon reverted back into his windmill shuriken as he put it back on his side. He then turned to his friends as he scratched his head, "wow. I didn't even know that I could do that" he said everyone surrounded him and went into a group hug. Dillon couldn't help but smile.
"best day ever".
