private Need for Heroes!

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall blushed when Sapphire called him cute.

"No, if you can control Sapphire, or if she promises not to interfere with your work and not to make you do anything that would harm the city, I'll let you both off and you won't have to go to a holding cell..."

Nightfall had recovered, but only barely. He could now talk well and fully, but almost everything else hurt.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

I'M NOT GOING TO RUN. Clayton said turning around to face the pony. I'm going to fly. He turned back around and flew towards the the main entrance of the hospital. Well this was a failed trip. He thought landing and turning into one of the hospital rooms and diving threw the window. GAH. He thought as small pieces of glass scratched his body.

He slammed into the side walked and slowly stood up.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Ohh, jeez, like I want to harm the city. I solomnly swear to help Den protect the ponies of this place and help him fight bad ponies!" "Sir, that's not wise! I just commited murder AND gone slightly insane! Not only will the media have a hayday, but anypony could look at this story and think the police is corrupt!" He pushes through the doorway. The station was empty, everypony had gone home for the night.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall had forgotten about that.

"Damn. You did kill those innocent foals. But slightly insane? Hell, who doesn't do that when they join the police force? You think your the only insane police officers, then open your eyes, kid."

Nightfall was about to try to get off Den's back, but realized everything hurt.

"Just... Leave me at my desk, and I'll see what I can do."

[Literally Snails 2,307]

"STORM OF TORMENT!" Jack released the electrical energy as Clayton flew and it followed a few feet behind him. When he crashed through the window and slowed down, the electric current had a chance to envelope around Clayton slowly. Jack followed the attack to the side walk as well and waited to see Clayton's response.

He sets him down literally on his desk, splayed out. He goes to the reaserch area and snags a first aid kit. He feeds him some heavy pain meds and re-does the bandages. He feels for broken bones, and finds none, miraculously. "He's all bruised up Den," she mumbles, "To bad the hospitals going up in flames right now." "We'll be in the holding cell," he says, walking out. He grabs a doughnut and a coffee, and slams the holding cell shut, throwing the keys at the waiting bench.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Clayton smiled. That...Bucking...Hurt. He then sent a small ball of fire at Jack. You have interesting powers, My knives wont help me this time. He said trying to ignore the pain that he had gotten from the glass. Why dont I make you a deal... I will give you a couple thousand bits, and then we can fight again some other time, What do you think of that ? He said as he prepared another fire ball just in case jack tried to attack.

Nightfall could only accept the pain mess and lie on his desk. Having his wounds bandaged felt good, but he was still tired and sore. Soon, he noticed Den had gone.

"Den...? Sapphire...?"

He looked around, and saw no sign of Den. He got up off of his desk, and almost crumbled onto the ground. He slowly dragged himself to the holding cells where he thought Den might be.

"Den... You... You and Sapphire need to have a trial first..."

The pain meds were making him sleepy.

"Den... Sapphire... You need to... To get me to a good... A good home to... Rest..."

He almost collapsed at the entrance to the holding cells.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

The blood from Jack's new knife wound gushed out into the air and separated into a cloud of red mist. The fire ball impacted the haze and created a small fiery explosion. Jack himself appeared unharmed. "I call this trick my plasma aura. You don't look too bright so I'll explain this slowly. Blood is what gives ponies what little magical resistance we have. Without it, a unicorn would implode while trying to preform a simple spell. So, by manipulating my blood cells to amplify the effect, I can make a killer barrier." He held up his hoof to show a small burn mark. "You barely touched me. Are you going to run away now? You know I can always track you down. You see, ponies that I want dead usually don't tend to last very long, but they always run."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Sir! Buck, Sapphire, I didn't think it would come to this!" He plucked out one off his own feathers and picked the lock. Then Sapphire kicked in, "Come on, Mr. Captain, Sir. Hang in there." She picked up Nightfall and trotted out into the street, She trotted a few blocks to Den's home. Predictably, his borther was out, but she set him on some bedding. It wasn't great, or necassarily clean, but it was 10 times better than the floor. Then she took out Den's first aid kit, which he kept fully stocked ever since the deaths of his brother and father. First, she injected a bloodpack into his system. Then she forced him to drink water, mixing it with some strengthening herbs. She feels his forhead. Fever, he's going into shock. She gave him a little more water and checked his bandaid. "Don't worry sir, we'll take care of you," said two voices.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall breathed heavily. The bedding felt nice.

"Sapphire... Den... Whichever of you is there... Mostly likely Sapphire... Listen... I... I never had much a family... My parents died when I was young. I... Don't... I don't know if you would understand too much... Just... I'm..."

His breathed had escalated a bit. He tried slowing it down. His forehead felt hot, even to himself.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

I am getting so sick of this. JUST DIE. Clayton ran at Jack sending another fire ball towards him and making two knives appear in both his hoof's. DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE. HAHAHAHAHA. He laughed making more knives appear behind him and sending them flying at Jack.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Woah, woah woah, Mister Melodramtic. Breath, focus on that. And smile, you look like, well, death. And realitively speaking, your fine. Don't worry, a little shock never killed anyone. Now, just stick with us, you hear? White lights are only for dead people. Now remember, Smile!" she says, brightly.

[Nightfall 3,950]

"Woah, woah woah, Mister Melodramtic. Breath, focus on that. And smile, you look like, well, death. And realitively speaking, your fine. Don't worry, a little shock never killed anyone. Now, just stick with us, you hear? White lights are only for dead people. Now remember, Smile!" she says, brightly.

 

"I can't smile when I remember them... They're all dead... I feel like I... I killed... God, no, please...."

Nightfall started shivering to try to get rid of the excess heat.

"I can't.... No, no, please... I'm full of misery... End it..."

Nightfall's breathing increased as it grew a bit ragged.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

She stares at him. Then she smacks him, "Now you listen up, and you listen up good. You are the police captain. You have a lifetime to make up for your wrong doings. And by Celestia, you are NOT dying to day. And you are going to smile, and stabalize, and be okay!" she says, crying in a breif moment of maturity. She takes out a rag and and soaks it in cold water and began washing his face with it.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Hi shuddered when she smacked him.

"Ok... Ok... Do what you can, then..."

Nightfall's breathing stabilized. He looked up and noticed whenever Sapphire took over Den's body, he transformed. He didn't look too much like Den, but like... Like a mare.

"Sapphire... I'll... I can promise... I promise I'll be ok... Is that... Enough?"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

She looks at him concerned, "You need to say that without pain in your eyes, and add a little more conviction. Plus, smile. Now, you need to drink up. This should do the trick," she says, giving him a glass of water. You like the captain... Yes, Den. I like your Captain. He is honest and kindhearted and in extreme pain.

[Nightfall 3,950]

She looks at him concerned, "You need to say that without pain in your eyes, and add a little more conviction. Plus, smile. Now, you need to drink up. This should do the trick," she says, giving him a glass of water. You like the captain... Yes, Den. I like your Captain. He is honest and kindhearted and in extreme pain.

 

Nightfall drank the water slowly. He thought about what he had done, what Den had done, who Sapphire was... Questions began to spring up like wildfire. He shoved them back. All he needed to know was that he was ok. He was ok, with the care of his friend Den and a spirit named Sapphire...

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Rest up sir, dinners in a few hours. I have to make it, again," he sighed. "Sapphire, that means now we're going to the kitchen." "Right, right. Nothing like a couple brownies," she sings, giggling. She forces him to skip away grinning and begins making brownies. "Sapphire!!! I said dinner not desert!" "Oh shush, party pooper."

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall began to blink more and more slowly, and he eventually fell asleep. He had dreams...

Nightmares, to describe them in one word. And the ones you can't exactly wake up from. Nightmares of Den's death, of his parent's death, of his death, of Sapphire's death...

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

The smell of brownies drifted through the air as they started baking. Then the sounds of beef sizzling and water boiling came through as well. The sound of Sapphire humming came through the appartment and even Den started to smile. She grinned and continued humming.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Nightfall woke with a start. He finally got out of his nightmares. His brow was furrowed with sweat, partly from the nightmares and partly from the fever. His open eyes searched the ceiling as he tried to figure out where he was. He soon remembered he was at Den's apartment. When he heard Sapphire's humming, he slowly turned his head towards the kitchen.

"Sapphire..." He tried saying it, but it only really came out as a whisper.

"Sapphire..."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Sapphore heard something, faintly, like her name and instantly took over the body. They both shivered as her femine changes took place. She took everything of quickly and set them aside. Then she took the brownies and went to check up on Nightfall; "The sleepy dreamer awakens," she giggles, setting the brownies down in front of him. "I wish I could use magic to patch you up, then you'd be all better."

[Nightfall 3,950]

"I wish my magic wouldn't hurt me so badly, otherwise I'd be perfectly fine."

His voice came out a bit hoarse, but it was louder than a whisper. He looked down at the brownies and shook his head a bit.

"I'm not too hungry for sweets right now... I just need a bit of rest... without the nightmares."

[Literally Snails 2,307]

Clayton's projectiles stopped dead in front of Jack's Plasma Aura. Jack seemed unamused, as if he expected more. He charged lightning into his hoof again. "Here's the deal." he said, "If you can survive this, I'll start trying. If not, you were never worth my time. Are you ready? STORM OF TORMENT!" He released the lightning charge and it enveloped around Clayton again.
