Split stood up, "I guess i'll go and make it three." "Rainbow you stay back and keep an eye on wynter and fluttershy. And make sure rarity doesn't get dirty... that would be worse than a zompony attack." he said with a chuckle

He joined shade and Parso with twilight.

[Lost Profile 644]

Twilight: ok here I go...

 

Twilight charges up her horn.... And blasts shade, split, and parso....

 

Shade felt the energy inside her...

 

Shade started trotting to the bace, she didn't know what to expect... There were lots of zomponies there... And shade didn't want what happened last year...

 

As they got closer... Shade herd a voice in her head... "Turn back"

 

Shade: did you guys here that?

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"no, I didnt hear anyth- CONTACT!"

parso noticed a few zomponies slowly trotting towards them. he cocked his rifle and readied

"on your mark, shade"

he waited for shade to tell him when to fire. until they got too close for comfort, he fired at his own will. the silenced bullets piercing the zomponies skulls, that was round 1 he could tell theres going to be more

[Lost Profile 644]

shade was lost in her mind... trying to listen to more words... "turn back"

 

what?! oh.... sorry.... i just got lost in my mind....

 

come on... lets push on!

 

shade led them into the armory... she heirs more words in her head "get out of here NOW" "its no use" "you wont win"

 

shade started to get worried...

 

did you not heir that?

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"i really think you should head back to camp, shade. i cant hear a thing, get twi or shy to have a look at you"

parso didnt want her to be delusional in an area full of zomponies. he wanted to get to the armory, get guns, then get the hell away from there at all costs

[Lost Profile 644]

Shade: I'm fine... I... I just thought I herd something

 

Shade lead them into the armory... There were lots of guns on racks...

 

Shade would have been exited... But something hit her... She became lost in her mind...

 

She saw visions of zomponies... Lots and lots of zomponies.... Then she saw herself taking cover from gun fire... Gun fire comeing from all her friends...

 

She didn't believe what she was seeing...

 

Then. A big shadow covered everypony firing at shade... I tank zomponie killed them all... Shade came out of cover and charged out of the vission...

 

Shade snapped out of it... But her tail was gray...

 

Shade: come on every pony... Lets hit the hangers

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"uhh, shade, your tail is grey"

parso said as he flashed the flashlight towards her tail

"I'm getting worried about you, you're turning into what i was"

parso's concern for his fiance was growing by the minute. the group had carried on towards the hangars

[Lost Profile 644]

Shade entered one of the hangers... Then she realized

 

Shade: hold up... We're ponys... We don't have Hellos or cars... What's the point of having hangers?

 

Shade saw another vission... She was fighting Celestia and Luna... With zomponies on her side...

 

She was shocked to see this... Her hooves turned gray...

 

Then a voice spoke... Shade as serten that parso and split could heir it

 

???: now what do. We have here? Some survivors... But not just any survivors... The elements of harmony and life...

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

(certain, helio not hello)

Split turned to see what was going on.

Shade seemed to be frozen, listening to some unheard sound.

"What are you doing SHADE!?" split shouted "your gonna get yourself killed if you don't snap out of it!"

But shade was lost in a trance, staring off at something in another realm.

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"disembodied voices? oh great now my day is complete. what the hell do you want voice"

parso spoke in a not surprised tone, of course a voice wasnt the craziest thing he's ever encountered in the past week. he still kept his rifle close incase the voice did have a body and one that needed a bullet in it

[Lost Profile 644]

(Parso and split can heir the ??? Voice)

 

???: now what are you doing here... Getting some supply's for canterlot? Hahaha

 

Shade started to charge up a thunder bolt...

 

???: shade... You wouldn't attack me would you? You wouldn't attack... Your father...

 

A stallion walked out of the shadows... It's was the stallion from the picture shade saw in the clouds...

 

Shade: y you.....

 

Shade went totally gray and walked up to the stallion

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

(Well i didn't know i could... hear... it)

Split looked dumbfounded at parso...

"well this escalated quickly." he said, still a bit skeptical.

"Shade be careful, we don't know what kind of illusion this could be or what kind of tricks that pony may have."

She was now gray

He hoped this wouldn't turn out poorly

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"shade, you're fully grey! WHAT THE BUCK HAVE YOU DONE TO HER!"

parso filled with anger at the stallion as shade went grey approaching him, it looked as if he could snap the rifle he was holding in half with his anger. parso wondered why he wasnt turning grey, until he realised it wasnt any of his friends he turned hatred against, it was this stranger

[Lost Profile 644]

Father: oh I haven't done anything to her... She simply wants to be with her father.... And I'm not going to do anything to you... This guy will....

 

A big tank zompony smashed through the wall of the hanger... And was rampaging towards parso and split...

 

Shade watched as the tank went after parso and split... She went into a darker gray... She didn't say anything nor think anything

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"oh buck, I always go for the ones with over-protective fathers"

parso cursed as he dove out of the way to hide behind a box

"split! you'll need it"

parso opened his bag and chucked split his desert eagle. parso fired a shot into the tank zompony's head

"faust dammit! why wont you die?!"

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

Split caught the gun and quickly leaped out of the tank's charging path.

He got to his feet quickly and began to fire directly at the center mass. The bullets struck true as blood would spatter. But the target wasn't phased and now... had a vengeance.

"OH BUCK!" Split shouted as it turned towards him.

He started to run

"I hope you have a plan parso!" he shouted

[Lost Profile 644]

Luna and Celestia returned to camp... With all the elements...

 

Twilight: Celestia! Luna!

 

Celestia: shade has developed quite a large amount of power here... We have the elements... We can end this now! Where is she?

 

Twilight: there at the bace overthere...

 

There was a big crashing and zompony sounds comeing drone the bace

 

Rarity: what was that?

 

*******************

 

Shade shot a lightning bolt at parso... It almost hit him...

 

Shade: it's no use... You won't win

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"shoot it until it stops moving? i dont know, does it look like i kill these things commonly?"

parso saw shades father in sight

"keep him busy, split"

parso readied his rifle. everything around him felt like it was going in slow motion as soon as he looked down the scope, this has never happened to him before, it was like he was finally releasing all his built up adrenaline. he fired a shot directed at shades father, the bullet whizzed and spun in the appointed direction, just waiting for the impact

[Lost Profile 644]

Shades father vanished... And appeared behind parso... He riped the gun out of his hooves and smacked him onto the ground... Shade looked at parso... She walked towards him with a massive electro ball on her horn

 

*********

 

Twilight: come on... We better go check it out! Everypony at the camp went to the bace...

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

split nodded "I gotcha covered!" and sidestepped the tank once more.

I need to buy parso some time.

Split began to trot backwards drawing parso some time. He kept firing at the Tank, it seemed to grow slower, but still just as determined to kill him as ever.

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

parso rolled out of the way as fast as he could, flew over and punched the father in the face

"listen you old buck! set a big bucking zompony on me, I dont care. set my own fiance against me, I'm gonna rip the bucking horn from your head!"

he flew behind him and grabbed onto his neck and reached for the horn, trying to break it

[Lost Profile 644]

Twilight and the others were at the front gate of the bace... They saw split dealing with the tank... And shade getting ontop of parso with a fully charged lightning bolt spell...

 

Luna shot a spell at shade... Shade dodged it and fired her lightning at Luna... It was so fast that Luna got hit... And was left knocked out...

 

Celestia: oh no.... Shade has gotten powerful... It's dangerous to oppose her...

 

Twilight: what do we do princes?

 

Celestia: we must do our best to turn shade back and end the zomponies...

 

Rarity fainted looking at the tank

Rarity fainted looking at the tank

 

Father: hmhmhmhm parso... Just look at shade behind you... She's about to strik you with her most powerful lightning... You kill me... Just think about how Much more angery she'll get... She might not even hesitate to kill you...

 

Oh will you look at that... She almost killed princes Luna...

[ParsoOfEquestria 1,490]

"I dont give a buck if I end up dead, as long as you're outta the picture as well, deadbeat!"

parso's eyes were more redder than normal his mind was screaming 'WAR!'. a rifle shot could be heard in the distance and parso closed his eyes. he opened them to find blood sprayed on his face and chest. he was surprised, it wasnt his blood

[Acoustic Cloud 2,202]

Split had one shot that rang true, the tank fell to his feet. He relaxed for a moment until a rifle shot rang out. He quickly tensed almost firing the pistol off.

He looked around, what had been hit, who shot the gun?

Parso seemed a bit weary as blood spattered him.

(that could have been an implication, but i had something else in mind)

parso look over to the source of the gunshot, there holding the rifle was...fluttershy? she was shaking in fear, but yes it was her to pull the trigger. wynter took the rifle out of her hooves and held her tight

parso was still unsure of what the bullet hit
