//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Why She's Here // Story: The Darker Side of Life // by Brony Parasite //------------------------------// [Time: Some Time After Birth of The Elements] {Darth Folteren's POV} Yep... I'm bored! I was searching for ways to kill Sun-Butt without dying in the process, but nothing showed. I was loosing hope. "Any humans?" I asked. I was getting lonely. I mean, I'm a Sith, trying to kill the Sun Princess, but just having an emotionless AI, and a conscious that says you're doing it wrong every ten seconds isn't healthy. I wanted one. Person... I'm so alone... [... No...] I sighed. "I'm going to take a walk." I stated, walking towards the newly installed elevator. [That is not advised.] Said Sandy. She almost sounded pleading. "I'm going. I'll turn into Pony Form Two, to look normal." Or, as normal as talking, multicolored, equine's with eyes the size of a plate. [... Okay, I'll send Boomer to assist yo-] "No! You must have hit you're head... or not..." Not as funny as I thought... [Why do you say that?] "Its a moving tin-can, it wouldn't even protect me." I said, ever so smartly. Boomer's an R2-D2 Clone... Red instead of blue... And grey instead of white... What else is there? Oh! He's a moron... 'He's not the only one.' ... Whatever... I walked through my base, passing droids, vehicles, ect. After... however long, I reached my lift. Its like a Star Wars elevator, small, and red! I like red. I got in, and pressed the famous 'Up' button, and let the doors close. I waited five minuets until it opened... Note to self: Need faster ride up. 'Note taken, Lord Moron!' 'You know... I know where you live.' Whitney pondered this... or I pondered it... Maybe I loth myself. And he's just my way of dealing with it... In any case. When my transportation finally stopped, Sandy's voice called out: [Pony Form?] Hmm... I feel like an Apple. "Apple Bop." I said. Hay, it was better than my 'Granny Pie' mode. About the only time I don't feel alone is when I'm with the Apple and Pie family's. I taught Applejack how to bull ride(Which surprised me), and I taught Pinkie Pie not to be afraid(And told her stories, that filly needs to be more cheerful). [Understood.] The copy of Sandy's voice confirmed. Then I felt the weird feeling of turning into a full-grown stallion. Every bone, and every ceil in me changed(Grey mane, dark brown coat, green eyes, and an apple bopping barrel for the cutie mark). Nothing in the force can prepare me for the onslaught of alien feelings: Happiness, Sanity, Friendliness, Bravery, Joy... Love... But there just an illusion, and a bad one at that. What I'd give to feel more than: Greed, Envy, Bitterness, Shame, Sorrow, Depression, and most of all. HATE. But alas, twas not for I. Once it was over, I left the elevator. On the outside, it seemed like part of a new building. Oh, what was it called again? 'Sugarcube Corner?' 'YEAH!' I left the alleyway to do my walk. Ponyville was a nice place, if you liked sunshine, smiles, and everyone around you knowing what its like to be loved, and not be paranoid about if their telling the truth... Ponies. I don't like them. There cute(Females, males are too blocky), but they talk like: 'Everypony!' 'Monster!' 'Princess Celestia will get that beast!' and my all-time favorite, 'Friendship is Magic'. What a bunch of crap. Where do you think Sun-ass got her immortality? Or what she did to her sister? Nope! She has power over the sun and nobody is scared!? https://youtu.be/dEtm_Q2LK9g Where'd all the voices come from? Anyway, I did my usual stuff, see Applejack, buy food(This economy uses GOLD!!!! Actual GOLD!!!!! Da fuk!?), and look for my friends tome of the Force(Need to know the light side to), and finally, went back. But something, or rather somePONY(Damn it! I'm talking like them!). A little filly, no older than seven. Was sleeping in the ally next to me. She had a white coat, red eyes, and multi-colored mane of black, purple, and red. There was cuts and bruises all over her body. She was abused. I felt something, deep down inside. I knew this feeling. Anger. I was abused, from what I remember, my father used me like a stress reliever... Better me, than my sister. I pitied her. She was like me: discarded. I'll help her. 'Wow... you DO have a heart.' I ignore him, focusing on the girl... I trotted closer. I was three feet away... two... one.. I was right in front of her. I heard sobbing. More pity. I bent down, whispering in what I guess is called 'calming'. "Are you okay?" I asked. 'Oh god... That was the most stupid thing you've said!' I mentally face palm. Of course she isn't alright, I know pain when I saw it... or feel it. She flinched. Quickly, she looked at me. Not knowing who I am, she backed away. Damn, so cute!(Still hate ponies!) But I do want to help her. "Shhh, shh. Its alright, everything's going to be ok." I whisper, using the Force to help calm her down. Here's something I've learned over my... however-long stasis. All Ponies have the Force... Yeah, you probably think that's crazy, but look what they do! Magic, Weather, Pinkie Sense(I came up with that!)! One Earth Pony, Pegasus, or Unicorn can, with the right amount of training, use the Force. 'You aren't thinking what I think you're thinking!' 'I'll take her in. I'll decide what we're doing with her later.' She calms down, breathing normally. "Who did this to you?" I asked. 'What are you doing!?' "M-m-my d-d-d-d-dad-d...." She sobbed. Pain. "Let me take you with me." I said, smirking lightly. She smiled faintly. "What's you're name?" I asked. "S-Slash, s-s-s-Shadow Slash, sir!" Shadow replied. "Heh, call me Folteren." I smiled. "You're dad will never hurt you again." She hugged me. For a second, I thought I would do the Jack Frost heart melting scene, but no. I... awkwardly hug her back. Even when Pinkie hugs me I'm awkward. After the hug we went to the entrance to the base. Sandy will have to explain. "Stay in here, tell Sandy that Lord Folteren sent you. I've got last minute stuff to do." I informed. "Oh, and... by chance, what's you're fathers name?" I asked, feeling a dark smirk spread across my face. Shadow shied away from me, but said. "Silverblast, why?" "Oh, I'm just going to get a restraining order on him. So he can never hurt you again!" I lied. 'What are you going to do!?' 'Something I've wanted to do.' I thought darkly. I cut off his link to me so it'll be easier. ------------------------- Took me forever to find him. Ponies may be friendly, but most haven't even heard of each other! The house was small, it smelled like mildew(I'm a nerd, so what?), and looked old. I winced. 'eww.' I thought. I changed back, and are back in human form. I'm hiding in an ally(What's with all the alleyways!?). I force rush into the backyard. "Damn that runt!" I hear. Yep, right place! I held Obi(My right Lightsaber), and Plo(Left Lightsaber). And readied myself. But... why not have some fun first? I lift my right hand. When I did, so did everything in the house near him floated, and his reaction was priceless! I snickered. "WHO IS DOING THIS!?" He yelled. Oh god, what was this guy's tal- Oh... He studies old Canterlot... Damn you, Luna! I smirk. "I am the ghost of no future- Ohhhhh..." I said, talking like a ghost, which sounded stupid. "W-what do y-you w-w-want fff-from me!?" He asked just the question I hoped he would. "You're soul." I said before jumping out. I noticed he was a unicorn. Perfect. I turn my sabers on, the red beams making me look more menacing... or so I thought... Instead of fearing me like I thought he would, he smiled, and... laughed? "You think I'm some weak unicorn? I'm the most powerful mage in Princess Celestia's court!" He boasted. His smile faltered when he heard no response. He looked to me, and his eyes widened. I. Was. Smiling. Like an idiot. "Well, there's one more reason to kill you." I said. I then lunged at the 'mage'. I slashed at the moron... and he blocked! A force field was around him, and a powerful one at that! But, still not near as strong as me! I broke his defense by using 'Shatterpoint' to find the weak points. The shield broke, sending him flying towards the kitchen. He groaned and sat up, rubbing his head with a hoof. He stopped, and looked to me in fear. "Who- What ARE you!?" He yelled panic. "I, am a Sith." I said before sparking my Lightsabers, and slashed him numerous time as he screamed in pain. After I was done, there was no body. The place had not a scratch. And there was no evidence. My work there was done... 'Now, lets begin the fillies training... shall we?' Whitney quivered in my head.
