CHAPTER 3
I'd been avoiding everypony for the past two weeks. I didn't have the courage to face Fluttershy or Applejack, as I knew they would hate me too. But one thing was on my mind: Dashie.
"She was so disheveled... Why was she waiting for me for so long...? It's all my fault for going against Torrentican even though Omnius told me not to. I stole her heart, then ripped it to shreds..."
I took another swig of the apple cider I was drinking. I was sitting in a bar, trying to drown my sorrows with alcohol. I was lost and broken... Defeated. I hadn't been caring for myself either. I wasn't shaven, so I had stubble all over my face, I had dried mud and dirt all over my clothes, I had bags under my eyes, said eyes being red and bloodshot from crying and lack of sleep.
"Hey, Kyle, I really think you've had enough..." The bartender had a worried look on his face. I glared knives at him.
"I'll tell you when I'VE had enough. Now give me another bottle..."
"Alright..." He sat the bottle down, and I just yanked the cap off. I chugged it down in a matter of seconds. I was feeling a bit tipsy, but nothing too bad...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Third Person)
All the girls, asides from Rainbow Dash, had gathered at Twilight's Library to discuss Kyle's return.
"... And he was gone for so long... I even asked the princesses for help with the return spell. Luna was so determined to bring him back..." Twilight had an expression of anger and sorrow.
"I just don't understand why he was gone for so long... The rifts are there, he could have just found one and come back." Rarity, as with the rest of the ponies, had no idea that Torrentican had destroyed the controller crystal, closing the rifts.
"He's just a meanie-weenie-bo-beanie..."
"Ah' don't think that's th' case, girls... Ah' think Torrentican's the reason 't took so long fer' 'im t' come back. Ah' fer one wanna see 'im again, but Ah' think he's hidin' from us. He prolly thinks we hate 'im."
"Oh... My... I hope not. I'm not really angry with him... I'm just shocked that he was gone this long and then just shows up again..." Fluttershy had a slight blush.
"Welp, lets go lookin' then! He can't be that far away!" Applejack made a mock heroic pose, and everypony giggled. Pinkie even perked up a bit. They all fell in behind her, and followed her out on the hunt for the runaway human.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(First Person)
"Ugh..."
"Yeah, Kyle, you've had too much."
I was extremely drunk. And even though I felt great, I felt all of the stress catching up with me.
"Why're they so mad at me...? I just wish they would have listened... But I probably deserve it..." I felt all the sorrow and pain beginning to well up in my throat.
I thought I heard the bar door open, but I payed no mind to it, and just kept crying and talking to myself. I was broken. I hated myself. I wanted everything to go back to normal. I wanted my life back. I wanted my friends back. I wanted my family back...
But I couldn't have any of that. I didn't deserve it. I knew I didn't.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Third Person)
Applejack and everypony else walked into the bar after Pinkie noticed Kyle sitting there, drinking. But when they approached him, what they heard shocked them.
"I... I didn't mean to leave you guys..." He was mumbling to himself, in a drunken pit of self loathing. "I didn't know Torrentican would take me back... I would never leave here willingly... I'm so sorry I forgot... I just wish I could have come back sooner... I never wanted it to be like this... I love you all so much..." He buried his head into his arms, and began sobbing. "Y-You w-were the b-b-best friends I-I ever h-h-had, and I j-just ruined i-it by g-going against him, thinking I w-w-would win... L-Look what m-my p-p-pride got me... I'm a w-worthless loser... I'm n-n-nothing... I'll never a-amount to a-a-anything... I r-ruined your l-lives... I d-don't deserve y-your friendship... I-I just d-deserve the a-anger... The h-hate... P-Please, d-don't s-stop hating me... I-I-I deserve e-every ounce of th-the anger... I'm so sorry... I'm so, so, so sorry... I ruin everything... I can't do anything right..."
The girls just stared in shock. Twilight, Pinkie, and Rarity hadn't had the thought that Torrentican was the one who locked Kyle away wherever he had gone. They were just upset that they had spent so much time trying to bring him back, that they had lost sight of what really mattered: His friendship. He had slipped away. He was a shell of his former self, broken and depressed. They couldn't even say anything, so they just slowly backed out of the bar, leaving Kyle to his self hatred.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(First Person)
I sat there, crying into my arms, wishing I hadn't let myself be beaten. I had left all my friends behind, and ruined their lives.
"Some f-friend I w-was... I shouldn't e-even b-b-be here... I... I d-don't deserve Equestria..."
(Stop the music)
With that, I knew what I had to do. I left the bar, leaving the bits for the drinks on the table, and stumbled outside. But before I could go anywhere, I saw a familiar orange mare leaving the restaurant nearby. It was Scoots. She was in a waitress uniform, so I assumed she was working there. She was talking to Apple Bloom, I didn't know about what. When Apple Bloom left, Scoots just stood there, a dreamy look in her eyes. Then, I saw a brown pegasus with strange hair and three basketballs as a Cutie Mark fly down and land in front of her.
"Hey there filly-fooler! I see you were eyeing up your marefriend! You're disgusting, you know that?" He just laughed at her as she scooted back a bit, afraid of the pegasus.
"Hoops... Just leave me alone... I don't feel like dealing with your small mind today."
"What did you just say to me? I'll teach you some respect!" He raised his hoof, and brought it down hard on her face. Then, all I could see was red.
I smashed the bottle off the side of the wall, and set off full sprint towards Hoops, murder in my eyes.
FIRST
I cant wait for another chapter
Great chapter, good to see that twi, rarity and pinkie heard the truth. And hoops is screwed!
Sorry I got rain in my face, strange the floor is dry
First I cheered because I thought everything was getting better...
Then I wanted to cry because the ponies left Kyle again...
THEN I WANTED TO KILL HOOPS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
Buck. Yes. Idk why, but I love when others realized exactly how much of an effect they can cause to someone. Like, they realized too late that they should've let kyle explain. To see him devastated and wrecking himself, because of the actions they did.
Fuck. His. Shit. UP!!!!!!!
....OH HELL FUCKING YES, KYLE MURDER THAT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT...sorry i let my inner pinkamina out
*Plays Seek and Destroy*
120144 Your inner Flutterrage and Psycho Twi might have also broken free.
Well...Drunk Kyle + Stupid Hoops = Holy shit, he's F*cked.
So the girls finally understand how Kyle felt and now he's going to defend Scoot. All they need to to is help Dash understand and hopefully they can all be friends again. PLEASE, for the love of all that is good make them all friends again!
Oh dear...Kyle just had to see something like that while drunk. Sadly I think Hoops actually has a chance in this meeting just because Kyle is drunk. Granted I don't think he'll come out of the meeting without injury but still better than his last meetings with Kyle. Depending on how this turns out it may change how Scoots feels about Kyle. Sadly I wouldn't keep my hopes up too much on that considering their last meeting at home.
I see Twilight did go for help and thankfully somepony remembered Torrentican could be an issue in the reasoning behind why Kyle didn't return as fast as he could. Of course the reveal of everything in a drunken breakdown probably hit them a little harder than Kyle realized at that moment.
I have to admit the idea of Scootaloo and Apple Bloom together is kinda cute. I would like to see how that started since we do have a 5 year lapse of information to work with.
Kyle is gonna go Cupcakes all over Hoops' flank
I hope Scoots will be ok and reconcile with her dad over this whole thing....
As for Kyle, I think he just entered Drunken-Fist mode
I guess, from what Kyle said before leaving the bar, that he will try to commit suicide...
120148
I'm with ya haze, I got my silenced weapons, poisoned darts and daggers.... Am I forgetting something?
I Well, then again I am a sick and twisted individual. Hey, after all my pony DID watch his parents get murdered as a filly, went missing, lived on the streets growing up, committed triple murder, and was in an explosion in high school, and has multiple personality disorder.
Hehe. I love my Moonbane pony ^^
THAT SON OF A BITCH! RIP HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF!
120178
Well, here's what I see happening. Kyle fly very high. Kyle takes off shoes and falls. Dsshie saves him, like the day they met.
Uhh oh.... kyle already has anger management problems but now he's drunk and is in a twitchy-eye self-hating rage..... Hoops, YOUR SCREWED! I can't even say how screwed you are because your so screwed. Your going to be so ugly when he's done with you that not even the devil (or tori-what-his-face for that matter) will want to even look at you!
Shit just got real !
KILL
Hoops is gonna die man. He's gonna die. He's gonna get shanked with that bottle Kyle smashed against the wall. Either that, or he'll be in the hospital for a few years, and all of his muscles waste away into some gelatinous paste from the muscle atrophy.
Just predictions, of course.
I can't wait for the next chapter.
120179Explosions?
Must make. Sweet love. To text. Celestia damned monitor is getting in the way. Hmphf. Cockblock.
120240
Nah I got 5 c4, 4rpg rockets, and the unlimited ammo rocket louncher
Hoops is just going to DIE!!!!
I hope Kyle and Dashie get back together.
Also I do think he might try to commit suicide like Purple Blaze said.
So Kyle felt he didn't deserve Equestria and was leaving the bar to do something about it. Either he was going to try and return back to Earth, or, because he's drunk and depressed, was planning to off himself somehow.
And now we have Hoops vs. Drunken Kyle. Let's hope Kyle is a master of the Drunken Fist style.
The song.
pretty sure this explain's what Kyle is thinking right now.
*pushes away from the screen and stares at a friend*
hes fucked my friend royally fucked
awesome
120392 Man of few words, huh?
Oshit... He's gonna scare the crap out of scoots if he murders someone in front of her...
Ah, whatever. KICK HIS SORRY FLANK!
120424 no, this fic is just taking a very interesting turn
every time, the music just gets me then i saw the part with hoops then I'm like
Look! Its a bird! Its a plane! no, its DRUNKyle!!!! (plays this) DRUNKYLE!!!!! nananananananana!!!
Hope this just made your day!
120139
How your mood changes so easily I will never... Actually, I understand completely.
120308
AHAHAHAHAHA
... I hope so too.
120566 I'm an autistic rapping pony-watching fanfic-writing videogame-playing high school student with no IRL friends. The least of my problems is my mood swings.
Very awesome chapter man! I'm definitely looking forward to more!
With the current alcohol toxicity levels and anger management issues, Murder is the best solution.
great chap!
HOOPSDEADHOOPSDEADHOOPSDEADHOOPSDEADHOOPSDEAD! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
120208
Wait, Kyle has anger management probs?
120570 Good to know that joke got a laugh out of somebody, it was honestly the first thing I thought of when I envisioned Kyle trying to fight while drunk.
120693
He has anger management problems, that doesent mean he's always angry, it just means that its hard for him to control himself when he is.
The music fits so well. Love it
Kyle is gonna stab him in the stomach crush his skull then kick him into a wall and continue to punch him until he's a bloody mist.
...
To the 'Hoops' character, I second the link to the cute duck video: "Kyyyyyles about to whip somebody's ahsssss....Kyyyyyles about to whip somebody's ahsssss....If you don't leave 'em alone, we'll have to drag 'em home, because Kyyyyyles about to whip somebody's ahsssss...."
i hope kyle doesnt get into jail like last time
120783
Yeah I know that. One of my good friends has anger management....
