ShadowSound

Shadow had soon fallen to sleep when he walked to the staffs barracks finding an open bed. He was exhausted and slept easily. After a few hours of sleep he awake and yawned as he hit the showers having a hard time keeping his wing dry. He walked along the academy and found some of the debris had been picked up but the place was still in ruins. [colour=#0000ff] ".I really needa talk to Spitfire[/colour]" he sighed as he walked finding her and smiled. [colour=#0000ff]"heya spit, im sorry to ask this but, i think i need to take a month or two off of performing cant do much with a broken wing ya know?" [/colour] He chuckles looking around.[colour=#0000ff] "...Man, this place got hit hard"[/colour]

Shadow laughed as he looked at the irritated pony.[colour=#0000cd] "Despite what you think, you showed a lot of courage and loyalty to those whom are your allies Cloud. Think about it, you gave yourself up in an attempt to stop both myself and Marble, if we were not well trained it would have worked. But by doing that it shows your dedication to your friends. Thats a trait hard to come by."[/colour] He slide off the bunk and grunted his wing hitting the bar to the bunk when he did so forcing him to grab him to wince in pain. [colour=#0000cd]"O...ow"[/colour] he muttered as he smiled to her before walking to the door. [colour=#0000cd]"Think it over, you proved yourself, Flash thinks so too, and he graduated top of his class, but in the end you can always retake the test. Now get off your plot and come hang with every pony, its a beautiful night and after a battle like that its nice to relax with friends "[/colour] he trotted out of the barracks smiling.

ShadowSound was smiling as he stared at the night sky. He sat up seeing Cloud Dasher walking into the mare's barracks and tilted his head slightly. He stood upon the stallions barracks roof and jumped down onto the boxes he had stacked and then to the clouds trotting over. He poked his head in looking around as he found the cadet. [colour=#0000cd]"Heya, shouldent you be with the others celebrating? Your a wonderbolt now after all"[/colour] he smiled at her as he sat on another bunk.

ShadowSound sighed as he walked from talking with the doctor his right wing wrapped as he mumbled some, a few bandages here and there. He had broken his wing during the fight and had continued to use it till the end, he was told he should not fly for a few months though he was determined to make it a minimum of two.[colour=#0000cd] "As long as i keep up with my training i should be fine" [/colour] He said to himself. He looked around the medical wards and saw all the ponies laughing and smiling and smiled to himself as he walked outside and breathed in the fresh air. There were damaged buildings and shadow and wonderbolt uniform scraps along the clouds but he was more concerned with the view above. He grunted as he managed to climb atop boxes and onto the barracks roofs laying back with a wince at the pain in his wing when he bumped it. He stared up at the night sky, the stars, and the moon and smiled. "...in the end we won huh?" He smirked as let out a sigh of relief [colour=#0000cd]" Thank you Luna, for such a wonderful night after a dreadful few days" [/colour]

Shadow nodded as he let the doctor work not worrying about being last. He turned his head at Gadget. [colour=#0000cd]"Heya, what you need ta talk about?" [/colour]

Shadow had soon woken from his light sleep and got up. He saw the ponys heading to the medical ward and yawned as he limped his way there his wing shooting pain through him. He walked into the ward and looked around as he saw the group and the doc working on Marble and then saw Spitfire, Rainbowdash and Sorin all on one side of the ward as he walked over.[colour=#0000cd] "So...am i the only pony who feels like they were hit by a truck??"[/colour] He joked as he looked at the other bolts. [colour=#0000cd]"Is everypony alright? All are accounted for?" [/colour] He sat as he asked this wincing as he bumped his wing.[colour=#0000cd] "Ouch" [/colour]His goggles were cracked and the LED'a were sparking in one side as they hung around his neck, the saddle bags speakers were broken aswell as the straps having been cut.

ShadowSound let out a groan as the light suddenly blinded him and he shielded himself with his unwound-ed wing. He was ready for more fight when the light cleared though the pain was finally getting to him, he swayed some as he was getting dizzy. He saw Rainbow dash and lightning dust acting like themselves again and smiled. [colour=#0000cd]"Great... welcome back"[/colour] he said with a tired voice before he fell to his side closing his eyes with a sigh of relief before he slipped into a light unconscious state.

Shadow stopped as he looked at the two rushing ponys and sighed.[colour=#0000cd] "...this will hurt..."[/colour] he said to him self as he walked forward to give more fighting room and slide his wing in the cloud cutting it and pushing the part twilight stood on away some.[colour=#0000cd] "...sorry"[/colour] he said as he rushed forward and spread his raven coloured wings hitting the two charging ponys with them and knocking them to their backs as he let out a grunt his wing having gotten hurt earlier. But he knew he didn't have time to feel the pain and spun around stomping his hoof next to rainbows head as she was closest. [colour=#0000cd]"RAINBOWDASH! REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!" [/colour]He shouted at her in his best spitfire like command voice. [colour=#0000cd]"TWILIGHT SPARKLE NEEDS YOU RIGHT NOW! YOU CALL YOURSELF A LOYAL FRIEND!?" [/colour]he jumped back as he saw lighting dust rush him from the corner of his eye.[colour=#0000cd] "And you..."[/colour] he grabbed her back hoof and spun her using her own weight against her throwing her to a cloud. [colour=#0000cd]"You corrupted the pony you said you loved, you should be ashamed!"[/colour] He was hoping that appealing to their feelings for those they knew would call out more of their true selves.

Shadow growled as Thunder flew past he pushed off the ground and flew after him.[colour=#0000cd] "No!" [/colour] He shouted as Thunder grabbed the gem from twilight. He landed next to her and helped her up.[colour=#0000cd] "You okay?" [/colour] he gave her a concerned smile as he himself winced in some pain. [colour=#0000cd]"If you have any ideas or spells now would be a great time to use them" [/colour] He then smiled and spread his wings wincing again [colour=#0000cd]"If only Luna herself would stop this, it would shatter their spirits"[/colour] he commented as he took to the air in a gust of speed shooting twords ThunderSwift[colour=#0000cd] "Hand it over!" [/colour]

ShadowSound flew above the clouds as he then shot back down he picked up speed as he breached the sound barrier a large neon blue wave spreading out as he emerged from the clouds He spun around and put his hoof out kicking Thunder Swift in the side in order to stop himself from that speed. He than landed on his feet huffing some, a little blood from his lip and some wounds but mostly out of breath. [colour=#0000cd]"If you want our leader, you go through those who believe in her." [/colour]he smiled at the cadet in training.[colour=#0000cd] " You there, you've done well, but twilight needs your help, see if you can convince your mentor to take back control."[/colour] He then looked to flash in the corner of his eye. [colour=#0000cd]"Yo, you still alive?" [/colour] He smiled seeing the stallion still breathing.[colour=#0000cd] "Good, as for you..." [/colour]he galloped and headbutted the shadowbolt before he could get back to his feet steadily.[colour=#0000cd] "..i think you've over stayed your welcome, and Luna is happy being back, don't take that from her!"[/colour]

ShadowSound walked out with the other ponys his saddle on as he plugged in his player and pulled his goggles down neon blue LED's flicking on in them and around the speakers of his saddle bag. He cricked his neck and shook out his raven coloured wings as he stomped his feet Watching the shadowbolts music began to play and he couldn't help but laugh at the song that shuffled first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCEU3KrePv8&list=PLA49262BDDB1CC0EA&index=48 [colour=#0000cd] "Virus infected, so true"[/colour] He grinned and heard the charge taking off and slimming two shadow bolts from the skys as the bass dropped.

[colour=#0000cd]"That is the way of the wonder bolts after all"[/colour] the black coated Stallion said as he trotted forward from the hall his side bandaged up some from having been hit into the wall earlier He looked at flash with uneasy eyes for a moment before smiling and giving his shoulder a small hit with his hoof. [colour=#0000cd]"Good to have ya back, though you should get control before you throw some-pony into the wall next time"[/colour] he chuckled some before looking at Dash.[colour=#0000cd] "So we are ready then? What can I do to help, i don't really want to sit back and watch, not after seeing most of the ponies i knew turned into one of them" [/colour] He looked at the cell with the only bolt they had captured.[colour=#0000cd] "Id really like to take down this thunder swift, if he was the one in charge" [/colour]Shadow stepped aside hearing Twilight enter and blinked[colour=#0000cd] " So, this is Twilight then?" [/colour]He smiled [colour=#0000cd]"Its good to meetcha" [/colour]He then thought for a moment and spoke. [colour=#0000cd]"Somepony will need to guard Twilight so she can cast her spell when everything goes down" [/colour]

(Im soo sorry guys, i didnt have any net for three days. i will post later today as i just got home and am tired. )

Shadow face hooved at the explanation to her thoughtful analyses of the situation and sighed. [colour=#0000cd]"I gave you to much credit"[/colour] he joked as he nodded.[colour=#0000cd] "Well at least you gave us a name to what we are facing.. Shadowbolt huh?"[/colour] he looked to the cadet in the cage. [colour=#0000cd]"Well at least the KID is fighting[/colour]" he grinned noting her hating of being called kid. [colour=#0000cd]"As for why they are here we don't have any clues yet. The acadamy has changed alot since we all graduated, we even have some new defensve crystal it seems."[/colour] he yawned as he shrugged [colour=#0000cd]"So, got any ideas?"[/colour]

Shadow growled at the cadet and heard rainbow. He walked over to marble and smiled [colour=#0000cd]"Well big guy ill allow you to slam on the bars and scream all you want. I will hold onto the cell key though, cant have you killing the kid" [/colour]He then looked to Rainbow and nodded.[colour=#0000cd] "Good to see ya again, though it would be better if it weren't due to this. When everything started there was a ineradicable fog, cadets who were alone let out screams. I followed one to the stallions barracks and entered the room to see a group of ponys dressed in black and purple wonderbolt uniforms with yellow goggles. The leader seems to have black coat and brigth red mane and some weird red glowing spell " [/colour]he recalled as much as he could.[colour=#0000cd] [/colour]"They infected some cadets and now have Flasgbomb, Lightnig dust, a new cadet named Blue Streak, and this one i detained named Cloud Dasher." he remembered one last thing. [colour=#0000cd]"They brought up some revive of Nightmare moon" [/colour]

Shadow walked to the bars and slammed his hooves aginst the bars hard.[colour=#0000cd] "Ya know, im trying to help you.. but im starting to not care. Maybe we should let Marble come on in with you." [/colour]

[colour=#0000cd]"Here i come" [/colour] Shadow lept from behind Marble rushing forward as fast as he could picking up speed slamming into the force field just as it closed slamming his hoves on the field. He landed as he watched Lighting and then them vanish.[colour=#0000cd] "...Marble....look man..we will get her back for you.."[/colour] he touched his shoulder and started moving back inside with him. They entered the building and thats when it hit him .[colour=#0000cd]"....Cloud Dasher" [/colour] he said before he took of in a blur of black and neon blue. As he tackled the pony they left in the hall pinning her to the wall.[colour=#0000cd] "...Your friends may have gotten away..but i won't let you, your ganna tell us what you know"[/colour] he gave a rather dark smile as he gripped her mane and drug her back to the room with the cell throwing her in he looked to spitfire and the other guards [colour=#0000cd] ".....Flash got away with blue streak and Lightning Dust.. we captured this one after she tried to stop us."[/colour] He looked back to Spitfire.[colour=#0000cd] "....Lightning dust was put under a spell...it was defiantly the same ponys I saw in the barracks. Black and purple uniforms, yellow goggles, and the leader has a bright red mane." [/colour]

Shadow had turned to get hit his back hitting the wall with the force letting out a grunt before falling to the ground.[colour=#0000cd] "...A...o..oww.."[/colour] he mumbled slowly getting to his hooves holding his side. [colour=#0000cd]"...Well... believe me yet Marble?"[/colour] He asked with a scornful tone.[colour=#0000cd] "...Come.on....he took your some pony" [/colour] he slowly began to trot to the doorway wincing some.

He nodded and smiled.[colour=#0000cd] " Marble, i know she did, so dont you think you should check and make sure she is okay first. I know your angry but id much rather know Lighting is okay then continue to argue. Agreed?"[/colour] he smiled to his friend and put his hoof on his shoulder. [colour=#0000cd]"Come on lets make sure she can still breath and isn't in too much pain. " [/colour]he hoped his idea of changing marbles focus would work when he heard the clicking sound.[colour=#0000cd] "...That cant be good"[/colour] he turned around and saw flashbomb bolting twords him to egt to the door.

Shadow sighed not wanting it to turn to this but shrugged it off. He sprinted forward and with his speed and size knocked all the ponies away from each other his voice was very stern and commanding as he spoke.[colour=#0000cd] "THATS ENOUGH, EVERYPONY WILL CALM DOWN NOW!" [/colour]She shot a glare to Spitfire [colour=#0000cd]"Your the commander for celestia's sake, you do not attck your own cadets from frustration "[/colour] He pointed a hove to the wall pushing her to stand there he then turned his attention to Marble and Lighting Dust. [colour=#0000cd]"And you two! Remember whom you are, your wonderbolts! Has spitfire every steered us wrong?" [/colour] He walked up to marble and helped him up but then pushed him back to a wall aswell.[colour=#0000cd] " I understand your confusion and anger Marble. I feel the same way, but its best if everypony calm down for now"[/colour] He smiled at his friend and then lightning dust.[colour=#0000cd] "If you don't trust Spitfire then trust me, if she tries anything i promise ill let Flashbomb go and give her a kick out with hind-legs myself" [/colour]

Shadow stepped away from the cell so spitfire could talk. His eyes widened some when he heard Nightmare Moons name and kicked the bars. [colour=#0000cd]"Its Luna now! And she won't be turned back!"[/colour] He stepped back as he glanced at Cloud remembering her eye colour [colour=#0000cd] "Yo Spit, you check that one yet?"[/colour]Shadow saw marble and quickly moved in front of him. "[colour=#0000cd]Marble, calm down, this is for his own protection and everypony else aswell, believe me i dont want him in there either but he is obviously not himself" [/colour]

Shadow blinked as the other two ponys entered the room. he raised a brow at cloud dashers reaction. This wasn't the same pony she had met that was confident and headstrong. He looked to gadget and shook his head. [colour=#0000cd]"Not ganna happen, Flash is staying put"[/colour] He pulled away from Cloud and moved in front of the cell door being sure to stay out of reach of Flash not sure how upset he really was to be in the cell. [colour=#0000cd]"Cloud it will all be fine don't .."[/colour] He stopped talking noticing her red eyes and furrowed his brow. [colour=#0000cd]"...I will make sure no one releases flash until SpitFire returns. "[/colour]

Shadow nodded as he leaned back against the wall yawning. It was quite for a while till he heard flash talking. [colour=#0000cd]"Oh? Are you insinuating i am not having a good life?"[/colour] he chuckled as he sighed. [colour=#0000cd]" Yea you are my friend flash, thats why im no letting you out. If Spitfire put ya here its for a reason"[/colour] he looked at the pony and shivered.[colour=#0000cd] "Not to mention your eyes are freaking me out,..they were so full of hate, not the flash i know"[/colour] He shook his head. [colour=#0000cd]"Sorry man, but youll stay there" [/colour]he growled as continued.[colour=#0000cd] "Even if im forced to stop you" [/colour]

Shadow followed and blinked seeing Flash behind the bars.[colour=#0000cd] "Well, i knew you were bad, but not in this sense." he noticed the glowing red eyes and shook his head. "Man...thats just creepy"[/colour] He watched flash as he began to talk. [colour=#0000cd]"Well..im not sure if what im thinking is right but, when i went to help a screaming pony in the Stallions barracks there were a group of ponies in the room. They were wearing uniforms like ours but the colours were different "[/colour] He rubbed his head as he thought.[colour=#0000cd] "I believe they were, a dark purple and black, with a yellow bolt on the side. The most noticeable one had a bright red mane." [/colour]He then added.[colour=#0000cd] "Oh yea...the weirdest thing is they were there when i walked in, i blinked and they were gone, with some kinda fog left in the room"[/colour] He shook his head.[colour=#0000cd] "I..i know it sounds weird but, i flew in at speeds almost hitting a sonic boom, there is no way i was seeing things" [/colour]He shrugged and walked closer to the bars of the cell.

ShadowSound was rounded up with the others and had the luxury of having to wait till close to the end of the checking to be seen. He hated having to be in a doctors office, never did like check ups. He smiled as his yellow eyes were deemed to be fine and then he quickly got to his hovers He saw Spitfire and walked over, he knew he didn't have much but felt anything he could say may help. "Hey, Spitfire mind if i talk to ya, i saw something odd around the time that there were screams in the Academy."
