Alpha Chapter 7, a my little pony fanfic

Chapter 7: Alpha's Revenge

Luna was watching Alpha, her Nightmare Moon armor; another variant of the Dragon Metal, glowing in a Galaxy-blue shade, covered all but her face. She sneered as Alpha turned to face her. "It's been a long time since I met a pony from my Era. Let's play Royal Tag, Beta."

-Earlier that day-

"It's too easy now. I won't learn anything new from doing it again." Alpha complained.

"Well, we don't have another place to go train. If we train in public, some pony is bound to find you talking to me." Beta replied, annoyed.

"It's too dark to train my speed anyway. Let's go to back to the cave. We can figure out what to do when we get there" Alpha said, his legs starting to shake from exhaustion. He was sweating and his mouth was painfully dry.

"Remember to drink water, Alpha. Last thing we need is for you to have a heat-stroke. It's one of the few things I cannot tone down the pain, and you don't want to know what it feels like."

Alpha sat down and took off his bag. He lifted the flap and reached inside, grabbing a jar of water. He un-capped the lid and took a gulp of the cold liquid as he looked back on the events that happened leading up to this day.

It has been 3 weeks since Beta heard the Forbidden Vinyl disc at Vinyl's shop. After that day, Beta felt complete, he felt whole. For a week, Beta did not talk. Only until Alpha reminded Beta that he was still confused on why he was punished but not killed did Beta start making a plan. Alpha and Beta would break into the castle and find out why Alpha was punished but not killed. But both Alpha and Beta weren't in shape to even walk to the castle, let alone break in. Instead, they began to train. Beta would focus on sharpening his magic ability while Alpha relearnthow to properly fly. Beta calculated that if Alpha used a similar amount of concentration and willpower that he had before used to create his wing on training, they would be able to break in to the castle in a year.

Unbeknownst to Beta and Alpha was the raw power of friendship that was surging through the bond which connected Beta with Alpha. Since Alpha first met Beta in the Rainbow factory, the bond began to grow. It became stronger and more powerful. What Beta and Alpha failed to realize was the raw power that was surging through the bond that they shared together had changed them physically and mentally. In 3 weeks, Beta and Alpha were way ahead of Schedule.

Alpha had self-taught and trained himself how to fly again. Once he learnt the basics of flying, he modified the way he flew. He could fly fast with incredible accuracy and stealth. While this was accomplished for most Pegasus by spreading out their wings as far as they could, it also made it hard for them to turn. For Alpha, he didn't need to worry about stealth for Beta could easily make him invisible to the naked eye. What he did need to worry about was turning. Although he mastered how to turn to his left, Alpha always felt nervous turning to his right. He had no reason to worry, the metal for his wing was incredibly light, but he always had sub-consciously thought it was heavy based on how it looked. He would always put too little weight on it, and spin out of control. Today, he had finally mastered his mind, and was able to turn to the right without any problem.

Beta had trained and honed his ability for magic. While creating and modifying spells, he came across a new ability. While Alpha was flying through some canyons, one of the giant archways had begun to collapse while Alpha was right under it. As the giant boulders rained down on Alpha's position, Beta had sub-consciously used magic to protect himself. The boulders moved out of the way, giving Alpha the time he needed to escape. While Alpha was flying away, Beta realized what just happened. He could use magic while Alpha was in control! He did not need to be in control of Alpha to use Magic. He could be able to defend Alpha when he was flying. He stopped creating new spells and started to hone his new ability for a week. At the end of the week, Beta was not only able to do magic, but was able to cloak Alpha for short periods of time and increase his hearing and sight.

Alpha closed the jar with the lid, placed the jar inside his bag, and put the bag back on, placing the strap under his metallic wing.

"Better?" Beta asked.

"Much. Thanks." Alpha replied feeling relieved.

"Don't mention it. Now let's get back before it gets too dark to see where we are going."

Alpha nodded in agreement and set off into the sunset. He was passing Ponyville when something caught his attention. He was starting to turn to toward the EverFree forest when he looked down to see some royal guards placing a stray in a barred wagon.

"That's weird." Beta said.

After they shut the door to the wagon, the guards strapped themselves into the front of the wagon and took off.

"That cannot be good" Alpha said as he watch the guards fly off, heading to Cloudsdale. He at once set off, following them, totally forgetting about going to his cave.

"Where do you think they are going?" Beta asked.

"Where else?" Alpha said, picking up speed. Beta was silent for a full heartbeat.

"No! That isn't possible! You destroyed it!" Beta replied as he realized what Alpha was thinking.

"It isn't impossible." Alpha said as he landed on a cloud, looking over the Rainbow Factory. The part that was destroyed by Alpha 3 weeks ago, had already been rebuilt but Alpha could see the old from the new bricks used to rebuild it.. He watched as the guards landed near the back of the entrance. Once fully stopped, the guards unstrapped themselves, went to the back of the wagon and forcefully took out the stray and shoved him forward. Alpha felt Beta rise within him as he felt his own anger rising as well.

"Yeah, I know." He said, agreeing with Beta.

"Are we going to destroy it?"

"Of course, but first I want to make sure everypony in it is out of there and is long gone before we destroy it." Alpha said, watching the guards strap themselves onto the wagon and fly off.

He waited for a few seconds after they left, then in a single swift move, jumped off the cloud and flew to the back door of the RF. Two Security Guards were posted at the door. Alpha felt Beta rise as the back door was painted red. Once the guards were done, Alpha went through the door into a pitch dark room. His eyes, familiar to the darkness, instantly adjusted to the lack of light in the room. He looked around, and saw the machine; fully restored and working. Alpha placed his metallic wing on the wall next to him, placing another ball of light, this time colored black, on the door behind him.

"Don't let it spread just yet." Alpha told Beta.

"Understood." Beta replied as he modified the spell so he could set it off remotely.

Alpha began walking to the machine as he watched a green mare being crushed alive inside it. Alpha walked to the side of the machine and cut one of the pipes with his wing. Then, taking out an empty jar in his bag, Alpha filled the jar with the rainbow-colored liquid. "This will come in hoofy later on- wait..." Alpha hesitated as he closed the jar. He watched as the Rainbow-colored liquid turned into blood.

"That's odd. Open the jar again."

Alpha did and the blood returned to its rainbow-colored state.

"That's how they get away with it." Beta said, realizing how the RF has been hiding in plain view "If it comes into contact with fresh air, it turns into colors..."

"…If it doesn't, it turns into blood..." Alpha finished. He closed the jar once again, and placed it into his bag. "Come on, let's move." he said as he placed another charge inside the leaking pipe.

He turned to his left and saw a pair of white doors, walked through them and found himself in a long corridor. Picking up speed as he went from a trot to a near-full gallop, Alpha let his metallic wing cut into the floor, placing a long line of charged balls where he went. He went into a maze twists and turns, full of doors and hallways. Eventually Alpha found himself at the Cafeteria. He felt Beta rise within him. Beta was fully alert and ready for anything. He was deep in his enemy's territory and was not about to take any chances. Alpha put his head close to the door, listening for anything that would tell him he wasn't alone.

Nothing, not a sound was made. Once he felt sure that he was alone, Alpha slowly walked ahead, toward the Cell block. He felt Beta's anger rose with his own as he looked around. There were more cells than Alpha ever knew. He stared at hundreds upon thousands of cells; each containing a Pegasi. Beta ripped open the door to Alpha left. The alarm went off as Alpha walked into the cell and was confronted by a Pegasus. His face was covered in dried blood, no doubt from a guard who wanted something to do.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? YOU ARE GOING TO GET US KILLED!" The Pegasus said freaking out.

"Destroying this factory." Alpha replied calmly without missing a beat. Beta set off the charges.

"It's you…" The Pegasus said, staring at Alpha. Alpha looked back and recognized the Pegasus. It was the stallion that gave him the wet cloth after Alpha saved the red mare 3.5 years ago. "They said you died when you disappeared 3 weeks ago but I knew they were lying."

"What are you willing to give to destroy this facility?" Alpha asked the Pegasus as he walked out of the cell, the Pegasus following him.

"If I need to, I will lay down my life to destroy this facility."

"What is your name?"

"The name is John." John replied.

"Well John, tonight you will be free." Alpha replied, smiling. John looked around as each cell door was being brutally ripped off its hinges.

"How are you doing that?" John asked, as he looked at Alpha.

"I can do things most Pegasi can't." Alpha replied, his right eye glowing blood-red.

"We don't have much time, the guards will be here any minute and I doubt they will be happy to see us."

"All in good time." Alpha replied casually as he gestured John to look up. The ceiling had begun to glow in a myriad of colored balls, and slowly started to dissipate. Alpha could hear the sound of the guards' hoofs galloping on the floor as they ran toward the cell block. "John, I need to you do me a favor."

"Anything."

"Take this," Alpha said, giving his bag to John. "Once you are far away from the Factory, go to Ponyville. Find a unicorn called Vinyl Scratch. Take out and show her the jar of blood in the bag. Open the jar of blood when she sees it. Tell her everything about this factory. Tell her that "The Pegasus with the Metallic wing wants to speak with you as soon as possible." Go now!"

"What about you?!" John said as he put on the bag.

"Somepony has to distract the guards. I will be fine. Get everypony out of here. Get a group of Pegasi and free the foals and colts in the Machine room! GO!" Alpha said.

John nodded. He turned around and gathered some Pegasi and flew out of the non-existent ceiling. Alpha looked behind him and started to trot to the oncoming hoard of guards. He watched an seemingly endless stream of angry-as-hell guards gallop towards him with a thirst for blood.

"Are you ready?" Alpha asked Beta.

"For this? Always."

The first 30 guards were instantly liquefied. The guards behind them didn't even flinch. Alpha took off, galloping with both wings fully extended, toward the guards. He ducked under a guard's right-hook hoof and sliced him in two.

"Right!"

Alpha took a step back, narrowly dodging a wing, and elbowed the attacking guard, breaking his neck.

"Left!"

Alpha jumped over another, Beta creating a puddle of blood.

"Right!"

The Pegasus kicked the oncoming guard, creating an arc of blood.

"Left!"

The white skin started to turn red.

"Above you!"

The metal wing swung upwards, the guard did not have the agility or the skill to turn.

"Below you!"

Alpha sidestepped to the right as a guard broke through the floor. Beta lit the flying Pegasi's wings on fire

"2 o'clock!"

"Wha-oof!" Alpha met head on with a right-hook hoof.

"4 o'clock"

"Fuck that." Alpha replied as he ducked, his wing slicing the guard's legs off.

The guards stopped to regroup around Alpha. Alpha was breathing heavily, his scar was open and bleeding, and he was stained in blood.

"There are too many for you."

"I know. Want to take over?"

"With Pleasure."

Alpha felt Beta start to take over as the color of his Mane, Tail and Eyes slowly turned blood-red

Alpha started to laugh.

"What's so funny colt? There are hundreds of us and only one of you."

"It's funny," Alpha said as he stopped laughing. "You are going to need a lot more guards to kill us." Beta replied. "What are you waiting for? Let's see if you can defeat me."

The main guard ran at Beta. Beta sneered as he destroyed the guard.

"Behind you!"

Beta kicked the guard behind him with both hind legs. The skull shattered and bits of bone flew out of the hole made by Beta's hind legs on the side of his face

"Left!"

Beta held out his left hoof and caught the attacker by the neck. He looked at the guard with a dark grin and crushed his neck.

"Right!"

Beta ducked, the metallic wing extended, cutting off the legs of the guard. The guard, legless kept moving through the air however and Beta helped him along by giving his flank some extra power. The guard's face slammed into the concrete wall, instantly crushing his face.

"Left!"

Beta looked at the guard at his left. The guard froze in fear and began to gallop away. Beta didn't allow him. He opened a portal into hell right in front of the fleeing pony. He ran into the portal and Beta closed the portal, laughing his flank off at what he just witnessed.

"Right!"

Beta sub-consciously destroyed the attacking guard, so he was confused why he didn't see anyone come at him when he looked to his right

"Above you!"

Beta waited for the last possible second and sidestepped to his right, letting the Pegasus to slam into the floor. Beta then stomped on the Pegasus's head, killing him.

"Below you!"

Beta turned the floor beneath into concrete. "That pony ain't comin' though."

The guards kept coming and coming and Beta kept killing them non-stop. He was a master at death. After an hour of non-stop killing, no more guards came. Beta let Alpha take control. He wiped his face of blood clean as he looked around. There were bodies everywhere. Some were groaning. For those who groaned were killed as Alpha stomped on their head with his hoof. He took a deep breath.

"Good job."

"Thanks. You did a good job as well."

"Not as great as you did."

"No-pony is as good at killing as I am. But you would make me notice you."

Alpha chuckled. "At least I know why you killed this time."

"Don't bring that up now, I'm in a good mood."

"Fine. I'm tired as hell, Let's leave."

"You should take a shower first, I doubt you want to go into Ponyville covered in dried blood."

"The shower room has already been destroyed," Alpha said as he looked behind him. "We can wash up somewhere else. But I really want to leave this place before more Ponies get here."

"Good idea. Let's go."

Alpha spread both wings and flew off through the celling. Once far enough away he turned, his back facing toward the moon, and watched as the RF burned and was destroyed.

"Aww shit."

"What?"

"Behind you."

Alpha turned around to see a mare with a horn and wings, flying behind him, staring at him. She had dark blue skin and her mane glittered like the night sky. She had a moon symbol on her flank.
