Chapter 40: rescue and fixing a broken bond

GOVERNMENT-HQ

Night shadow was resting his head as he stared at the window watching as he saw the new large colossal buildings towering over the city. He saw large banners that hung on some of the buildings that had his cutie mark on them, he enjoyed the view of his great victory over the city as he smiled. He then heard the elevator ding as the doors opened up as black haze walked inside the office room.

Night shadow didn't turn around as he kept looking at the window.

"yes my friend?" night shadow said.

Black haze rubbed his chin with his hoof as he thought of what to say "I have some news to tell you".

"alright. Tell me what you have to report to me".

"vanish is dead".

Night shadow then turned around to face black haze as he then laid his hoofs on the desk, "really now?" he said "and how was he killed?".

Black haze shrugged "not sure. But all I know is that he tried to take over ponyville". The two alicorns stayed silent for a moment before they both bursted out laughing, night shadow was pounding the desk with his hoof as he calmed down "hahahah! That stupid idiot! Did he really think that he could take over ponyville with ease! Oh I wish that I could have seen him die. That would have been so worth it" he said.

Black haze nodded his head at him "agreed. Trying to take over ponyville with brute force alone is not a good strategy at all", night shadow then laid back in his chair as he closed his eyes "hehe. Your right. Well now that he's gone I don't have to hear his mouth anymore".

"don't remind me. He was a real annoyance. And all he cared about was getting even with Clayton. I swear that's all he ever talked about. He even told me that he would never forgive you for taking his kill from him".

Night shadow just rolled his eyes as he sighed "ugh! That stupid ailcorn just won't let it go. Well he can fight him all he wants on the other side", the two then grinned as they then heard the elevator ding as the two then transformed into there human forms and turned around to see Adam walk into the large office room.

Black haze walked over to him and shook his hand "ah Adam. What brings you here?" he asked him.

Adam rubbed the back of his neck "well I was wondering. Seeing that it's June 10th. Well I was kinda wondering if I could get my pay for this month?" he asked.

Black haze looked over at night shadow as he thought about for a second before nodding at Adam "of course you can" night shadow said as he then pulled out a check and wrote down his pay, as he finished he then handed it over to Adam "I hope this serves you well" he said.

Adam looked at the check in his hands and saw that night shadow had given him nine thousand and nine hundred and ninety nine dollars, he grinned as he looked at him "oh this will serve me well indeed" he said. Black haze then placed his hand on his shoulder "come Adam. I shall walk you out" he said as the two walked over to the elevator.

Black haze pressed the button on the side of the wall as they heard the elevator doors open as the two walked in as the doors closed, night shadow was all alone in the large office room as he laid his head on his hands and stared to laugh as his laugh echoed through the room.

Black haze and Adam were in the elevator with arms crossed as they look at the elevator going down each floor, black haze closed his eyes as he turned to Adam "so tell me" black haze said "what was the reason why you joined up with night shadow and I?".

Adam then rubbed his chin as he then cleared his throat.

"money".

Black haze raised an eyebrow at him "money?".

Adam nodded at him "yes. Money. Power. And coming back here to fix my mistake that I had made so long ago", black haze then turned his head at the numbers as the elevator kept going down "and I take it that what you said to him was a total lie right?" he asked him.

Adam only smiled to himself "hehehe. Do you really think that I loved that thing I used to call son. Please...the only thing that I liked about him was when I used to put him off with his cousin when I didn't feel like watching him. Hell I always lied to my older brother how I always had to work all the time and never had time to "spend" with him" he said "and you know what. When I said to him that I was going to help him get some help with that whole pony thing. That was also a lie. I was really going to put a bullet in the back of his head" he finished.

Black haze kept looking at the numbers still as he heard Adam speak, "I see" black haze said "and what about your wife. Did you really love her?".

Adam then closed his eyes.

"yes. I still do. When the boy told me what she was doing to him in my absence. I was really happy to hear that she was doing fine. I care about her a lot. I don't give a damn about the boy...only his mother".

"will you see her again?".

"no".

"may I ask why?".

"when I found out what dillon did to her...I wanted to kill him right then and there. When I saw here..she...she looked so upset in the state that she was in. The doctor told me that she had lost so much blood from her fore arm being cut that she didn't have enough to let her make it in about two weeks. And the worst part is that they were out of blood that was her type", Adam then hit the metal wall as he gritted his teeth.

"that son of a bitch! I swear if he was still here I would rip his heart out of his chest!" he said.

The two then heard the elevator ding as the doors then opened and the two walked out, black haze then walked past him as he walked to the glass front door "so you only joined up with us just so you could earn money, get power, but most of all fix your greatest mistake that you and your wife ever made?" black haze asked.

Adam then pulled out a cigar as he lit it and pulled it out of his mouth as he blew out a puff of smoke "that's right".

"I see".

Adam then walked down the sidewalk with his hands in his trench coat as black haze looked at him with a small grin on his face.

PONYVILLE-HOSPITAL

"yayyyyyyy! This is going to be so much fun!" pinkie pie said as she bounced around jack over and over.

"I know pinkie. But were not going. Max, twilight,dillon, and fluttershy are going" he said, jack then looked over at Clayton who was petting rainbow dash gently. "so Clayton. Are you sure that you want to do this?".

Clayton nodded "yea...I'm sure".

Jack then looked at max and twilight who were reading and looked over at dillon and fluttershy who were making out. Clayton then snapped his fingers getting everyones attention, everyone then looked up at Clayton.

"ok. Are you all ready to do this?" clayton asked.

Dillon,max,twilight,and fluttershy all nodded at him, Clayton then sighed as he then explained to them the plan "alright. Here is the plan. You guys are going to go into the building and see if you can find my sister".

The four nodded as dillon then snapped his fingers making a warp gate appear in the room. Before they all walked in twilight then used her magic making hers and fluttershy's bracelets appear in front of them "let's put these on for safe measure" twilight said to fluttershy, "o-oh...alright" fluttershy said as twilight then placed there bracelets on there hoofs as they then transformed into there human forms as the four of them then walked into the warp gate.

EARTH-GOVERNMENT HQ

the warp gate then opened up as dillon walked out of the portal as he looked around the room to see his surrounds. "well that was not so bad huh guys?" dillon said.

He didn't get any response from anyone.

"guys?".

Dillon then turned around to see that his friends and his fiancée were not with him.

"fluttershy! Max! Twilight!" dillon shouted as he looked around the room but couldn't find them at all, "shit! Were could they be!?" dillon said as he then sees the exit and runs out of the room to go find them.

Twilight woke up as she then sat on her knees and looked at were she was "oh. Were am I?" she said as then got up and walked around the room to see were she was, "ohhh. I hope that the others are ok" she said, meanwhile as dillon and twilight were working there way around the large building max was walking down a large hallway as he was looking around the place.

"man. Where in the world am I at?" max said as he kept walking down the hallway, he then heard someone Moaning. Max then ran to the noise to find out who was making it, as max then kicked open the door to see Lucy and discord behind bars.

Max then ran up to the bars and hit them over and over. Lucy looked up to see max "m-max" Lucy said as she then rubbed her eyes to make sure that she was not asleep, max smiled at her as he then backed up from the bars as he then rubbed his hands together "man I hope this works" he thought as he then closed his eyes and made his hands glow as he then touched the lock on the bars as then heard a "click" as the iron bars opened.

Max then walked into the cell and picked her up and carries her "wait a minute max" Lucy said in a tired tone, "what is it?" he said.

"we...have to help discord".

"what! How in the...why is he?...never mind. But why should I help him?".

"please...he's really weak. And he's not feeling well...please max".

Before max was about to protest again he then heard someone come into the room, he then looks up to see twilight come into the room "max!" twilight said as she ran over to him and Lucy. She then hugged him tightly for a bit as she then let go of him.

"hey twilight. Thank celestia your alright" he said.

"same here. Did you find Lucy?".

"yup" max said as he points over to her "and we have another problem", twilight then looks at him puzzled "what problem is that?" she asked him.

Max then pointed over to discord who was laying down in the cell.

"discord! What is he doing here!".

"will get to that latter twi. First let's just get these two out of here and fast". Twilight nodded as she then took off her bracelet and turned back into her pony form and opened a portal using her magic as twilight used her magic to carry discord as her and max then took Lucy and discord into portal.

ADAM'S ROOM

Fluttershy was on the floor as she then began opened her eyes and look at the room that she was in.

"my head" she said as she got up and looked around, "ohhhhh. W-were am I?" she said.

"your in my room sweetie" a voice said behind her.

Fluttershy then turned around to see Adam standing a few feet away from her "w-who are you?" she said.

Adam then licked his lips as he started to walk over to her "oh I'm just the best thing your gonna be with for a while" he said, fluttershy started to back up as he kept getting closer and closer to her "d-don't come near me" she said.

Adam only grinned "aww. Don't wanna have a good time baby" adam mocked as he saw fluttershy back up into a wall. Fluttershy was scared, she was afraid of what he was going to do to her and she was even more afraid that dillon wasn't there to save her, Adam then placed his hand on her cheek as he moved his hand down to her large chest. Fluttershy then pushed his hand away as she then bolted to the door but was then caught by Adam as he held his arm around her neck as he then placed his other hand on her hip "oh man your a wild one aren't ya" he said as he then leaned over to her ear "when I'm done with you. You won't know which way is up" he said as he then moved his left hand and fondled her breast.

She then bit his arm making him let her go out of his grip "ah! Bitch!" adam yelled as he then slapped her across the face making her fall to the red carpet floor, fluttershy placed her hand on her red cheek as he towered over her as she started crying prying in her head for her fiancé to come to her rescue.

As soon as Adam was about to pounce onto her and have his way with her he then felt a tap on his shoulder "excuse me sir" a voice said from behind him. As soon as Adam turned around he was then struck with two gold bars into the face knocking him out cold.

Fluttershy saw the man fall to the floor making her back away more so he wouldn't fall on her, she then looked up to see dillon walk out of the shadows as he dropped the two gold bars on his ex-father "fluttershy?" dillon said in a worried tone.

Fluttershy then started to smile as she then began to cry "dillon!" she yelled as she got up and ran to him as he held onto her closely, dillon whipped away her tears as he then saw the bruise on her cheek.

"he hit you" he said.

Fluttershy only laid her head on his chest as he felt her tears touch his skin, dillon only kissed her head as he gently hummed to her. "shhhh. It's alright my love. I'm right here. And I will make sure that nothing happens to you" he whispered to her, fluttershy then looked up into dillon's eyes as he stared into hers as they then kissed deeply for about two seconds until they broke apart.

As the two looked at each other lovingly they both then heard a crackling noise behind them as they then turned around. The two then saw a portal in front of them as they saw twilight walk through it "come get in. We got Lucy" she said, dillon then let fluttershy go into the portal first as he stood behind.

"dillon" fluttershy said.

"you go on ahead. I'll catch up I promise".

Fluttershy was about speak again until twilight then had to interrupt her "but dillon".

"no buts. I promise you that I'm coming home".

Twilight believed him as she then closed up the portal leaving dillon alone with his knocked out father, dillon then glanced down at the man with a cold look as he then turned him over and stared at him "so...you think you can hit my fluttershy and get away with it do you?" he said in a dark tone as he then pulled out his fuma shuriken and leaned down to his father's face "you nearly took my life. And you almost took me from my only love" dillon said "but now...I'm going to take something from you".

EQUESTIRA-HOSPITAL

Lucy was asleep in her bed as she was muttering in her sleep.

"I'm so sorry..i'm so sorry..i'm..." she then starts to wake up "uhhh. My head...oh man...what!? I-I'm in the hospital? But how?" she said to herself.

"take a wild guess" a voice said next to her.

Lucy then looked over to see max, sam, Corey, jack, and dillon all standing next to the side of her bed, Lucy then rubbed her eyes so she could get the sand out of them as she then blinked to make sure that she wasn't dreaming.

"t-this isn't a dream?" she asked.

"why would it be?" another figure said as it then walked from the other side reviling it to be lucy's younger baby brother Clayton, Lucy was in disbelief as she couldn't believe that she was looking her brother who was thought to be dead. "Clayton?" Lucy asked him.

"yea?".

Lucy then slowly got out of her bed as she gently walked over to him as she placed her hand on his face, she then shook her head "t-this just can't be real. This just can't be".

Clayton then had a cold look on his face.

"really? Then here let me help with that" he said as he then punched his older sister in the arm "ow! What was that for!?" she snapped.

Clayton then pointed his finger at her face "that was for what happened at home during that dinner you ass whole!" he snapped back.

Lucy was about to say something else until Clayton then held onto her and hugged her tightly "but...I'm just glad that your alright...big sis" he said as he had a few tears come from his face.

Lucy just looked at him as she then placed her hand on his head "Clayton" she said in a quiet tone, as she then wrapped her arms around her little baby brother sweetly. Everyone was happy that the two were reunited and even more happy that Lucy was unharmed.

meanwhile back at the government HQ building Adam had finally come to as he began to wake up.

"uhhh...what the fuck happened?" he said as he then began to open his eyes, as he looked at his room he then eyed something on his wall, something that would haunt him for the rest of his life. What he saw were his own limbs nailed into the wall as blood kept dripping out of them making huge red stain into the bright red carpet, he then saw a message written in blood in bold letters saying:

BEWEAR I LIVE...FATHER!...SIGNED...YOUR BASTERED SON

Adam then looked at his body to see that he was in a chair tied up to it as he looked at his missing arms and legs, he then started to breath heavily as he then snapped:

"YOU BASTARED!"
