Your Punishment Must Be More Severe

Garrett's P.O.V.


I can't believe Storm King found me and Billy. What's worse is that I could've done something to stop this Venom monster from hurting Raph and his brothers. But I didn't. The only consolation I have is that Sunset and her babies are okay... But now I'm being dragged back to Canterlot. I'm dragged back to my dimension through the portal, and back in my pony form. "Master, I have brought the fugitives," announced Venom as he walked to The Storm King. "20675, how great to see you again," said The Storm King as he smiled evilly at me, "too bad this little reunion has to be so short. Where's the beaver?" Venom smiled and replied, "my new host." Storm King clapped his hands and said, "Good! Tempest told me she's captured the princess, and now they're on their way. So now everything is set in motion. And the best part is, you get a great view, colt! Enjoy the show..." Oh no, Twilight... As Storm King turned his back, I glared at Venom and asked, "why didn't you just kill me and Billy right there?"


"Your punishment must be more severe," replied Venom, "I know how much Billy means to you. Seeing your spirit break when I took over his body was revelling. I will force you to watch as Storm King takes everything you love away from you. Once he is powerful, we will destroy and conquer Canterlot. Then I will feast on your beloved, then on you and Billy. And when you are stripped to the bare bone, you then have my permission to die." I looked down, tears in my eyes. I'm gonna lose, and there's nothing I can do. A few minutes later, I see Tempest bringing my Twilight, now in a cage, broken and empty. I look to her and say, "Twilight!" She looked at me, and said sadly, "Garrett, I'm so sorry... I failed everypony and everything... I failed friendship... But most of all... I failed you, my beloved..."


Third Person View


The girls rushed to Sunset and Raphael's house, and got inside. Sunset carefully ran to Raph, Sci-Twi ran to Leo, Pinkie ran to Mikey, and Rarity ran to Donnie. Sunset shook Raphael, saying, "Raph, please wake up!" She was afraid he died. But Raph gasped, waking up. His brothers followed suit. "Oh thank Celestia," said a relieved Sunset as she hugged Raph. The others hugged the brothers. "Sunset, are you and the babies alright?" Raph asked, looking at his wife. "We're okay," assured Sci-Twi as she held Leo in her arms. "Dude, I think we got our asses kicked," groaned Mikey, "I don't think I'm a Venom fan anymore..." Pinkie giggled and kissed Mikey. "Venom took Billy and Garrett," said Sunset. "Damn it, he slipped through our fingers!" Raph growled, "we gotta go to Equestria and save your brother and Billy. And as for Storm King, Venom, and Tempest, I'll kill them if I have to!"


"Well if you're going to stop The Storm King, you're going to need help," said a familiar voice. Suddenly, Dusk Shard, in his human form, appeared. Mikey and Donnie yelped in shock. "Dusk! You little stinker," said Dash as she gave him a high five. "You're Dusk Shard?" Leo asked as he and his brothers got up. "Yes," replied Dusk, "you must be Raphael's brothers, Leo, Donnie, and Mikey. Nice to meet all of you. I hope I didn't come at a bad time."


"Actually, your timing couldn't be better Dusk," replied Raph, "how'd you find us?" Dusk shrugged and replied, "well, I was doing some art experiments before the Friendship Festival when I saw Tempest invade Canterlot. I cast an invisibility spell so that they wouldn't find me. I was in the castle when I saw Billy and your brother go into the mirror. When The Storm King sent that Venom Symbiote to your world, I knew I had to act. I've been studying that thing for awhile. Do any of you know any particular facts about Venom?"


"Venom is basically from an alternate dimension," replied Donnie, "and he has a weakness to loud sound and fires." Leo looked at Donnie and asked, "you wouldn't happen to have a machine that releases loud sound vibrations, would you?" Donnie smiled and replied, "I actually do." He then ran to his car and got out a mini cannon. He showed it to his friends and explained, "this baby here can release loud sound vibrations. Did Venom bond onto anyone in particular?" Sunset nodded, replying, "he bonded on to Billy. So loud noises can separate a Symbiote from its host?" Donnie nodded and said, "exactly. It may be comic book logic, but if it works there, I'm sure it can work here." Rarity kissed Donnie and said, "you never cease to amaze me, boo." Donnie blushed and said, "I try."


"You know any fire spells Dusk?" Raph asked. "I'm quite the expert," confirmed Dusk. "Alright, once Venom is separated from Billy, put a fiery force field on that Symbiote until it suffocates and burns to death," ordered Raph. "Sounds like a plan," agreed Leo, "let's get our spare weapons everyone! Raph, you're gonna need that Nightwatcher armor." Raph nodded, and as his brothers got their spare weapons, Raph suited up into his Nightwatcher armor. Once they suited up, Raph took off his mask and looked at his wife. "We're gonna save Billy and your brother," promised Raph, "I love you Sunset." He hugged her. "I love you too Raphael," said Sunset, "now go get 'em, big guy." She kissed him on the lips. Leo looked at Sci-Twi and said, "we'll be back, I promise. I love you Twilight. You're my world." He also hugged her. "Be safe out there, okay?" Sci-Twi replied, "I love you too Leonardo." She then kissed him on the lips. Mikey looked at Pinkie and said, "everything's gonna be alright Pinks. Venom won't stand a chance. I love you Pinkie." He hugged her. "You'll do great, I know it," said Pinkie, "I love you too, Michelangelo." She then kissed him on the lips. Donnie looked at Rarity and said, "if I never see you again, know that I love you, Rarity." Rarity hugged him tightly and said, "I love you too Donatello. I just hope I don't lose you." Dusk looked at Rarity and said, "Donnie won't die on my watch, Rarity. I promise." Rarity smiled and kissed Donnie on the lips.


Once all the kissing was done, Raphael put on his mask and asked, "everyone ready?" His brothers and Dusk nodded. "Good," said Raph, "let's go." The five of them then walked to the statue, and entered the portal, ready to face The Storm King and his minions.
