"Scootaloo!" cried Sweetie belle crossing her arms "we're definitely lost!" she said and turns to Apple bloom.
“I told y'all to take the left turn but no "let’s take the right turn to get to zecoras house" y'all didn't listen to me!" they argued.
"Well if you both could keep your mouth shut I'll be able to-"
"Did y'll see that?" said Apple Bloom interrupting Scootaloo
"What was it?" asked Sweetie belle
"I don't know but it looked like-"
"Look at this" Scootaloo pointed to a cave with wired pointy rocks
"Was that there before?" asked Sweetie belle
Suddenly a horrible smell came out of the cave like if the cave was exhaling "um...girls?" shivered Apple Bloom "I don't think that's a cave" she said walking backwards "that's a..." she stop as the cave seemed to be closing and starting to move. The girls gasped at the beast "CRAGADILE!!" she screamed "RUN!!" they yelled.
As they tried to out run it the cragadile seemed to stop following them.
"Did…Did we lose it?" Asked Apple Bloom gasping for air.
"Where did it go?" asked Scootaloo
"Don't know I hope-" a loud roar of the Cragadile and interrupted Sweetie bell "that sounds far from where we are" she replied "maybe it found something else to eat?" she looking at the other two.
Apple Bloom gasped "what if another person or Zecora!?" she cried "we have to help her!”
"But what if it isn't not Zecora and it's just a timber wolf?" asked Scootaloo
"You all don't know, that now do you?" the girls stayed silent "I thought so... now come on lets go see" she said as the girls followed her.
The girls kept following the tracks of fallen trees and scratch marks on the ground. Suddenly a puddle of blood was on the ground and the girls stopped
"Do you think this is Zecora's blood?" asked Sweetie bell
"I...I hope not?" Gasped Scootaloo, just than a bush began to shuffle
"Who's here?!" jumped Apple Bloom
"Move and you die..." a deep voice called out through the forest.
Scootaloo immediately picked a thick tree branch and held it with her two hands standing in front of Sweetie Bell and Apple Bloom "why don't you just come out here and fight me!"
Suddenly a tall shirtless boy with a bloody scars and short black hair walked out of a bush holding a black sword in his left hand and carrying Zecora on his back.
"ZECORA!!" shouted Sweetie bell "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!!” The boy laid Zecora down.
"I saved her before some wolfs and that thing could kill her" he said putting leaves on her cuts and bit marks. "This should stop the bleeding for now, but we need to get her to a hospital are she'll die for losing too much blood" he picked up Zicora again and told Scootaloo to take his sword "we must hurry" he said looking back into the forest "I didn't kill that thing".
"We have to go back to Ponyville!" said Sweetie bell to Apple Bloom
"I know the way!" said Apple Bloom pointing to the left "come on follow me!”
A few minutes past as they ran through the forest and made it to Ponyville. "Where’s the hospital?" said the boy
"Over there...hurry!" cried Sweetie Bell pointing at the hospital. As they ran inside the hospital a nurse put Zecora in a bed and she was immediately took her with the Doctor.
"I hope she'll be alright" said Apple Bloom with tears in her eye.
"How are you?" asked Sweetie Bell looking boy covered in his and Zicora's blood. The boy stood up and walked towards a window
"All I can remember is that my name is Deimos..." he began "I woke up in a dark cave with Cell doors...that for some reason were open. I didn't want to be there so I decided to leave" he told his whole story before he met the three girls. He said that he found Zecora with bite marks on her arms and legs.
"Where did you find the sword?" interrupted Scootaloo.
"I had to fight some crazy man trying kill me with it"
"Who was the man?" asked Apple Bloom looking at the sword
"I wasn't able to see his face it just happened so fast -"
"Family of Zecora?" called the nurse
"That's us" answered Deimos standing up "how is she?" he asked
"She's fine. She lost a lot of blood but thanks to you she made it just in time..." the nurse look at Deimos seeing his had cuts and bit marks as well "do you need help with your wounds?" she asked
"No...I'll be fine thank you" he said walked out taking his sword from Scootaloo.
"Come on lets fallow him we'll come back to see how Zecora later" said Sweetie Bell the two girls nodded and walked after Deimos waving goodbye to the nurse.
The girls fallowed Deimos all over Ponyville. "What do you think he's up to?" ask Scootaloo peeking her head out of the corner of a house.
"Don't you know it's wrong to spy on people" said Deimos turning his head towards the girls. "Where can I find some clothes around here?" he says smiling "you live around here don't you?" he says putting sword over his shoulder, the three girls look at each other and smiled.
The girls took him inside Rarity's boutique. "Wait here" said Sweetie bell "I'll see if I could find something that you can ware" Deimos took a set putting his sword in his lap
"What kind of sword is it?” ask Apple Bloom
"It's an Elucidator" he answered handing it to her
"It's not as heavy as I expedited" she said carrying it with her right hand and swinging it around
"You’re stronger than you look" he said smiling at her
“Me and my big sister go apple bucking at our home in Sweet Apple Acres"
"Sweet Apple Acres?" he said as he raised his eyebrow "you work at your house like a chore your do?" he asked
"yep it runs in the family" she answered " me and my big sister punch, kick the apple tree and gather the apples in baskets to sell them but my bigger brother Big Macintosh pulls the broken trees that fall down"
"So everyone in your family have to do chores is that it?" he asked standing up and beginning to stretch. "Hey?" he said looking at Apple Bloom "why don't you have a birthmark?" he asked changing the subject.
Apple Bloom looked down not wanting to answer “well all three of us don't have a birthmark and we try so hard to find it but were not good at anything" she said crossing her arms on her chest
"Oh don't worry I don't have one either" he said confuting her.
A few seconds later Scootaloo and Sweetie bell were running down stairs with black clothes "here" they both said hand it to him "put it on over in the dresser".
Nodding his head, Deimos walked to the dresser "gimme a second" he said. Few minutes pasted "alright" he said "I'm done" as he walked out he was wearing black pants with a black belt that had a large silver buckle, a black V-necked shirt that was worn underneath a black trench-coat with gray lining going down the sleeves and black boots with silver plates to protect his shins. He has a silver plate worn on his coat, which was on his left side, and a pair of black fingerless gloves. He wears a strap that goes over his right shoulder and under it to wrap around his left side, which holds his sword. "How do I look?" he said crossing his arms and smiling.
"Well looks better than being shirtless" said Scootaloo smiling.
"Did you make this?" he asked Sweetie bell
"Nope my sister did she's a designer" she said "that was supposed to be for her boyfriend but she just left it so someone would buy it... but no luck yet" Deimos looked at the clothes and smiled.
"I'll pay her when I get the money but right now I need to know where the library is" he asked
The girls look at each other and said "we'll take you!!" as they walked out of the boutique.
"What do you need to go to the library for?" asked Sweetie bell locking the door behind her
"I just need to know something" he said looking at the other stores and looking down at the ground
"Were here!" said Sweetie bell loudly "but the doors are locked" she said sadly. Apple Bloom tried to push the door open "I told you its locked did you not listen" said Sweetie bell frowning at Apple Bloom.
"Well what y'all think we should do now-" a loud crash in which made the three girls up in fright was made by Deimos kicking the door down.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" cried Scootaloo.
"What?" Deimos answered as he shrugged his shoulders. "It was already open" he walks in with a smile on his face "where’s the librarian?" he asked looking around.
"Obviously not here or the door would have been open don't you think?" Scootaloo responded growling under her breath.
"What kind of book are you looking for?" asked Sweetie bell looking around "there's so many"
"I can see that" answered Deimos looking at a tree trunk with a small statue of a stallion head "was this ever moved?" he asked pointing at it.
"No... I don't reckon you can move that?" said Apple Bloom leaning her head to the left.
"Hmm...” said Deimos. He quickly grabbed grip on the trunk and pulled it out.
"What are you doing?" asked Sweetie bell putting her hands on her mouth "we'll get in trouble"
"You didn't know there was a book under here?" he answered
"WHAT?!" the three girls looked surprised to find a gold covered book in the hole where the tree trunk was.
"Whose is it?" asked Scootaloo grabbing the book from the ground
"This is star swirl the bearded history book" Deimos said taking the book from her hands
"What do you need it for?"
"There was a piece of paper in the cell that I was in. It said something about this book having to do something with answers..." he said glancing at the book.
"Well?" said Sweetie bell "what are we waiting for?”
Deimos nodded his head.
As he opened the book he knew something was wrong.
"It’s empty" he said
"WHAT?!" the girls cried
"Yeah there is no words in it" he responded showing the girls the book.
"What a shame..." said a voice behind them. As they turned around they were surrounded by a pack of diamond dog blooded men.
"Who are you?" said Deimos standing in front of the girls.
"They're diamond dogs" said Sweetie bell hiding behind Deimos "they attacked my sister and her friends and made her their slave"
"What do you want from us?!" Deimos asked
"He's the one, Rover" said one of the solders whispering in the leader’s ear.
"Are you Deimos?" said Rover.
Deimos didn't say anything for a few seconds "what's it to you?" he finally spoke.
"we are the diamond dogs we were ordered to find you and bring you with our master" he said with a smile on his face "if you come without struggling we will leave you friends alone" said Rover with a smile "but if you try to struggle..." Rover stopped and snapped his fingers soon the girls were grabbed but three men that burst out of the ground soon the girls were behind Rover "we will kill your friends" he said putting his sword on Sweetie bells neck.
Deimos clenched his teeth and fist dame these basters" he thought "taking little girls as hostage" anger filled his body he looked at the ground "okay" he said pulling out his sword and throwing it on the grown in front of Rover "I'll give in." Deimos put his hands in front of him and a guard hand cuffed him.
"Walk" said the guard pushing Deimos away
"Rover..." said a guard "what did we do about the girls?" he asked.
Rover just gave him a smile after looking at the crowd of people gathering and said "lose the crowed than do whatever you wish with them" The pack of horny men whistled and cackled and did as they were told.
Deimos closed his eyes tightly he looked back seeing the six guards walking inside of the library with the girls struggling to get away.
Three guards grabbed the girls and tied them up and began to grab the girl's behind. They tried her best to resist, but they were just too weak to fight back. The three girls started to cry, looking at Deimos for help.
"Keep walking!" the guard shouted at him grabbing his hair and pulling it.
Quickly Deimos snapped. He turned around and head-butted the guard in the nose causing the man to fall backwards, two other men came trying to attack Deimos by pulling out their swords. The first one swung his sword, Deimos dogged it and grabbed the guard's hand and braking it. Before the second guard was able to attack. Deimos broke the chains and grabbed the guards head and twisted it braking his neck. Deimos ran at full speed towards the girls. A guard took a grip on Deimos's sword, before he could swing it a brown small owl flew out of the window of the library and attacked the guard with its sharp claws scratching his left eye out. Deimos quickly took advantage of this opportunity and punched him in the jaw, left and right. The guard dropped the sword. Deimos instantly grabbed the sword and swigged cutting the guard's head off like butter. Before Deimos could turn he was dog-piled by half of the pack.
Inside of the library a guard was grabbing Sweetie bell while she and the others were tied up.
"NO!" she cried "DON'T TOUCH ME!" the guard would just smile.
"Don't worry little girl" he said unzipping his pants "you'll enjoy this-". The guard stopped when he felt a sharp pain coming from his back.
He coughed out blood when Deimos pulled out the sword. "DON'T TOUCH THEM!" he yelled. His left arm had scratches and bruises, his mouth was dripping a bit of blood. In a few seconds the other seven charged him. Deimos grabbed the guard he killed by the neck and throw him only hitting two, one pulled out his sword and swigged. Deimos blocked it with the sword in his right hand and with his left grabbed the guard by the throat and pull him to the left where another guard stabbed his own. Deimos pushed both of them then cut them both in half, one of the guard that was hit by the dead body ran off with Rover. Deimos didn't mind them running off and cut loose Scootaloo
"Wait" Scootaloo cried "that was only six...where's the seventh one-" Scootaloo stopped as she was stabbed by the last guard in the back. Deimos turned after freeing the two girls. The guard tried to flee leaving behind the dagger but was to slow for Deimos and was grabbed by the throat.
"SCOOTALOO!!" the two girls cried
"You’re going to be okay!" Sweetie bell said trying to calm her friend down.
Deimos throw the diamond dog against the wall and stabbed his hand on the wall with his huge sword. The Diamond dog screamed in pain but Deimos could care less
"Don't move" he said in a dark voice and turned his attention to Scootaloo. Taking the out the dagger from Scootaloo's back she began to cough up blood.
"Am...Am I going to-"she asked
"NO YOU WON’T!" yelled Deimos "HOLD ON JUST...HANG IN THERE!" he began to put pressure on her wound trying to stop the bleeding, no use, "dammit" he said under his breath with a mad face. Later a laugh was heard in the library.
The diamond dog was the one laughing "you all are pathetic" he said with a smile. The diamond dog’s voice was rusty, like a claw dragging down a chalkboard. "You can't save her" he began "she will die in your hands and there's nothing you can-" Deimos punched him in the jaw and pulled out the sword. He quickly throw him across the room and dashed towards him kicking him and punching nonstop. The guard tried to run towards the girls but was soon grabbed by Deimos' blue aura.
"You hurt one of them" he growled "dare you try to hurt them again!!" he yelled and a light blue aura began to glow around his hands. He began to feel a strange power like never before.
Suddenly the power began to bring him memories of his past which made him fall to his knees. He began to grin in pain dropping the guard and his sword to cover his ears.
"well, well, well" the guard began “looks like you're not feeling well" he began to walk towards Deimos "why don't you lay down!" he shouted kneeing Deimos in his face making him get close to the girls "know watch as she dies" he said "and you will die..." he picked up Deimos's sword and walked towards him "with your own sword" he lifted the sword and swung down on Deimos.
Soon the blue aura in his hands became red orange flames "NO...I...WON'T !" he yelled stopping the blade from hitting him with the red flame aura, and with the right knee he kneed the diamond dog in the gut dropping the sword and with his right hand pierced the man's heart out.
The diamond dog began to cough up blood and said his last words "he...will k...kill everything in his path" before dying he gave a wicked smile and Deimos pulled out his hands throwing the dead body outside and began to walk towards Scootaloo.
"She...she's dead" said Apple Bloom with tears coming down her cheek. Sweetie Bell just stood there motionless looking down at her dead friend.
Without a word Deimos fell to his knees and put his left hand on Scootaloo's wound letting the flames go inside of her "Govey Ek Ahraan" he said closing his eyes soon the flames healed Scootaloo's wound but the wound was on Deimos the blood stopped and it quickly closed.
"What was that?" asked Apple Bloom
"What?" he responded
"What did you say?"
Deimos took a deep breath finally confessed "I lied" he looked at the flame that soon filled up the scars on his arms he sighed "I was locked up in Tartarus and there was a jailbreak..." he said closing his eyes "I was held there for many years I can't remember for how long" he stopped, silences filled the room as they waited of Scootaloo to awaken. He finally got up and carried the girl to the second floor and placed her in a bed. "You two stay here and look after her" he said walking out "I'll go clean up outside" he closed the door leaving the girls in the room.
"You think she'll be alright" asked Apple Bloom sitting next to the bed.
"I hope so" answered Sweetie Bell. They began to think in silence. "Hey do you have the book we found?" Sweetie Bell asked Apple Bloom breaking
"Yeah... why?"
"Let me see it" Apple Bloom pulled out the book from her overall and hand it to Sweetie bell.
"What are you doing?" she asked
"Watch". A lime green aura covered her hands and lifted the book "Gov...ey...Vodah...min...Govey Vodahmin!" she shouted. Soon the book opened and the words began to appear.
"Wha-...what did you say?" asked Apple Bloom her eyes wide open looking surprised at what she has seen.Sweetie bell on the other hand huffed for air, not binning able to talk.
"Spike...sh-showed...me how to do it" she took a deep breath "it means Remove unremembered. He told me that if a book had no words on it it's either not done or it's under a spell" she expand "if this is Star swirl's book than he put it under a spell...but why in dragon language?" she picked up the book from the bed and began to look at it
"Should we read it?" she asked Apple Bloom
"Don't know but we want to know what it says?" she asked handing the book to Apple Bloom.
Opening the book Apple Bloom sighed and began to read "alright he goes everything" she said
"to who is reading the young prince needs to be protected, he doesn't know who he is, he must know his purpose for why he was locked up in Tartarus. You must tell him... " the girls kept reading "he is has half alicorn blood-"
"Just like the princesses!" Sweetie bell interrupted.
"shh" replied Apple bloom " and half-"
"I can't read what says" Apple Bloom said.
The two girl both squinted their eyes to read the mushed word but it was no use. Soon they gave up.
-that his father chained him in Tartarus because the prince would be stronger than the king. I tried to protect him but I was too weak. But I gave him something a scar on this left arm that will allow him to become stronger and resist wound. He will become very powerful and enemies will want to take him has a weapon. He is known as a "DovahZii". He was a monster to his father and is why he was thrown away to tartarus I must help him I must-"
"What else does it say?" asked Sweetie bell.
"That’s it..." Apple Bloom answered "there anti anymore" the girls seemed confused.
Suddenly a soft "hum " came from the bed.
"Scootaloo!" shouted Sweetie bell. Scootaloo began to awake.
"Wha-...what happened?" she asked
"Deimos healed you." began Apple Bloom "he took your wound but didn't wake up."
Scootaloo looked at her shirt it was covered in blood with a tare where the dagger pierced her stomach but didn't say a word "where is he?" she asked
"He's cleaning outside or that's what he said"
The door opened and Deimos walked in with a glass of water and bringing it to Scootaloo. "Hey" he said in a relief voice "how do you feel?" he asked sitting down and taking off his black trench-coat. His black shirt underneath was torn and ripped but there were no wounds.
"I feel better" she answered looking at the torn black shirt.
Sweetie bell looked at the book "Apple Bloom and I..." she began "read the book".
The room fell silent "how?" asked Deimos looking to the ground.
"The book was under a spell" began Sweetie bell "my sister’s boyfriend, Spike showed me how to do a braking spell in dragon language-" she caught her words after they heard a sound coming from outside. A few seconds leader the front door of the library opened and the creaking could be heard from upstairs "what was that?" asked Scootaloo getting out of the bed and walking out the door.
Deimos quickly put on his coat and grabbing his sword "Scootaloo, are you there?" he whispered
Soon the girl ran back inside "guys!" she gasped "Princess Twilight and the others are back" she whispered” and Princess Luna is with them..."
