I mumbled, holding my hoof against my face. 'Wait, hoof? Was that always there? Err, of course, right? I mean, transformation isn't possible, is it? No. Of course not.' I pondered. 'Hey, where's the light? Oh right. Eyes closed. Heh, heh...' My eyes seemed to resist as my forehead muscles pulled my eyelids up like a sunken treasure. "Urrgh..." Was was all I could manage as I stretched my limbs to their fullest extent. At first all I could see was a white blob, but my brain decided that blobs don't exist and the blob turned into the shape of a rabbit. This particular bunny had decided my blue stomach was the perfect place to sleep and seemed to be napping. "Huh." I mumbled out. Wait, blue? Was that my colour? I didn't seem to be that before... What colour was I before? I couldn't remember! Where am I? Who am I? "WHY IS THIS SO CLICHE?" I jumped out of the couch I was on, screaming. I was on a couch? Before I could answer my question, I fell onto a small coffee table, which sent the poor rabbit flying across the room. Sadly, coffee tables usually can't take the wait of a fully grown pony, and it crumbled beneath me. "ACK!" Was the only sound that came out as I hit the wooden floor and I was out again. When the black world I had started out in came back, I wasn't surprised. This time, I thought, 'how about I DON'T freak out.' I opened my eyes slowly, to see a very unhappy bunny. "S-sorry, I didn't mean to hurt ya." I said softly. Apparently, that wasn't the answer he was looking for and he grabbed my cheeks and stared into my eyes with a angry expression. He then pointed to an empty salad bowl then to what I presumed to be the door to the kitchen the to his open mouth. "Oh! I get it! Evil salad monsters are cooking and you want me to attack them! That or you want me to make salad as payback for waking you up... I bet its the salad monsters, right?" I said hopefully. He shook his head. "No? Okay, your hungry." I said. "But does it have to be now? I'm actually kinda hurt in several places and..." he cut me off with a kick to the head. "OW! Can't you see I'm in pain! Why would you do that!" WHUMP! It felt like my skull shattered as his foot met my face. I slipped into the murky blackness of subconscious as a wave of pain washed through me. Suddenly, I felt as if I was falling. I grimaced as I imagined how hard I would hit the ground. 'Wait. I still can't see anything! My eyes aren't responding, so I must still be asleep! But that means I'm either dreaming, or took a blow to the spine.' Just as this realization came, my eyes opened involuntarily. 'Okay, I'm dreaming.' I was in a field, with grass and flowers alike wilted down to the ground. I suddenly could move myself around in the dreamworld place. I took this as a chance to look at myself. I wasn't sure if it was what I really looked like, but I seemed to be a Pegasus pony with a lightish blue colour. I had an orange tail and mane, and was male. 'I was male before, right?' I wondered. I then noticed a light on one side of the plain. As I slowly walked towards it, a pink butterfly flew in front of me and after circling around a few times, it headed away from the light. 'Maybe its trying to tell me something?' The thought came into my head as if it was pushed in by somepony else. I stole one last look back at the light, then followed the strange insect. insert original screen wipe here "Hello? Are you awake?" A small, meek voice asked. I was awake for the third or so time, this time by a creature who could apparently talk. 'I have no idea...' was what I was going to say, but it came out as "Iou nave og niaa." I heard a small squeak and a what sounded like a thump a rabbit would make if it jumped backwards. How do I know what sound it makes? No idea. I heard a small shuffling noise, and the creature responded after what seemed like hours. (its hard to tell time when you can't see anything but darkness! Speaking of which, why don't I open my eyes?) "Umm, are you okay?" it said in a very soft and quiet way. I then decided I should at least see whatever I was talking to before I said anything important. I slowly opened my eyes (Again!) and my they widened at what they saw. "THE EVIL BUNNY OF DEATH!" (Play this for the lolz.) I took action as soon as the shock wore off. I jumped upwards, the every fiber of protesting. As I ascended, I saw a canary yellow Pegasus flee with a squeak. I ignored the sight and came came down running. The evil rodent was stunned and didn't act in time. I headbutted it, sending it flying. It bumped of the wall, dazed. I charged again, this time hitting it to the left with my hoof. It recovered in the air, landing on its feet. It charged me this time, and delivered a powerful kick to my forehead. I winced in pain, stepping back. This caused me to trip backwards over some rubble from the table. I fell onto my back, and the menacing monster with a rabbits body kicked me right in the stomach, knocking the wind out of me. "Okay! I give! Mercy! Uncle! Stop!" It seemed content with my pleas, and hopped away into a small basket and settled down. I slowly, got onto my feet, winching in pain from the battle. (You can stop the music now.) I looked at myself, and gasped at what I saw. I was covered in bruises and wounds from small cuts to large gashes. I suddenly felt very weak, and fell down with a thud. I suddenly heard the sound of hoof steps and I looked to see the pegasus who woke me up. Her (I'm guessing she's a girl.) eyes widened when she saw me. She ran up to me and that's all I saw before my now fragile body failed me and I was gone. > The Mind Mangled > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Sorry for how late this is! I'll try to do more soon. Beginnings Act ll I couldn't feel. Everything was nothing, and nothing was everything. I could not see even the darkness under my eyelids as I seemed to drift in a world of nothingness. As I tried to move my body in every way possible with no avail, the world around me seemed to seep in through the walls of my dark subconsciousness. My eyes opened automatically to see the inside off a cottage. It had may small entryways that seemed to be seeping with animals. Aside from that, there was the coffee table I broke, shoved into a corner. It was still in pieces, the furniture other than the couch I was on seemed to be designed with the thought of the many animals now sniffing me curiously. One particular bunny who I knew well already was napping a small basket tucked in the corner near a door which I decided earlier to be kitchen. Other than that, a large fireplace seemed to be watching over everything. I tried moving, but I was banged up enough that my body refused to move. (Like the future changing! Foreshadowing woo-ho!) I groaned in pain. Suddenly, that Pegasus that ran away from me and Mr.EEEEEVVVVIIILLLLL's brawl came from the kitchen. "Oh! Your awake! Are you okay?" She asked with much concern. Before responding, I looked her over. (Not in that way. Get your mind out of the gutter!) She was a yellow Pegasus, as I already stated. She had a curled pink mane and tree butterflies as a... Cutie mark, right? She then asked meekly, "Is something wrong?" "I don't know... I think I have amnesia." She seemed shocked for a moment, then returned with "Oh-no! That's horrible! I'll help you, don't worry." Before I could act, she started to fuss over me, bandaging up wounds that had not yet been taken care of from what I guessed to be her last session of bandaging. Soon I manged to mumble out "Maybe that's too much? I mean, I haven't even learned your name you yet and already your helping me a bunch! I don't want to be a burden or anything." "Why wouldn't I help you? Your hurt and need help!" "T-t-thanks." I let her continue her bandaging session and I thought, 'Why is she so kind? Well, I'll find out soon enough...' Insert screen wipe here It took a while to get her to talk but when she did we talked as she helped me she answered the questions softly as if not to disturb somepony. (I hate saying "she" all the time but hey, I didn't know her name so go figure.) She told me that her name was Fluttershy (I barley heard it the first time.) and her self appointed job was helping all the animals. She told me about some of her animals in great detail (She was loud when she saidTHAT) and I explained why the fight against HIM had happened. Later she had finished the bandaging, washing my matted fur (How she got me washed shall remain a mystery.) and getting those annoying leaves stuck to my coat out and had moved on to feeding some mice. I was on the couch again, and was told not to move in case I reopened any wounds. I finally had time to ask the question that bugged me. "How did you find me?" She turned around and started the story. "W-well, I was feeding the chickens when Henry ran towards sweet apple acres. I tried to get him to stop but he was already to far ahead to hear me." "Wait? Sweet apple acres? Is that a farm or something?" "Oh yes! It has the best apples around! Its run by one of my best friends Applejack and her family. They were away for the family reunion at the time so they didn't find you. " as she said this, she fluttered in the air. (Fluttering and shy? Her name is correct!) "Okay, continue." "Well, I went after him and eventually found him sitting on a little rock in the fields. By that..." "Was me?" I interpreted "Y-y-yes..." "I'm not angry, just annoyed. It means I have nothing to go on." "Umm... Not to be rude, but don't you mean we? If that's okay with you I mean..." I sighed, and replied. "I'm not sure I want you to get involved jut in case I'm in trouble, but it occurs to me that I have no choice. I'd basically be on my death bed if you hadn't helped me." "Thanks, but you needed help and it was the least I could do..." "Thanks. But I should be on my feet soon..." Later "Ugh... I'm bored..." Fluttershy had left for some spa appointment (which she couldn't miss for some reason.) and I couldn't move. Crap. I stared at the wall for what seemed like hours, until suddenly, IT appeared again. The evil bunny, (his name is "Angel". Ptthh.) hopped up, and decided to try sleeping on my back. I groaned, which attracted more fuzzy animals. Some came forward to join Angel, while others went on with their business. Sighing, I decided to go along with it and drifted of... "Um... I hate to disturb, but please wake up..." the soft voice of Fluttershy somehow woke me up. "Buh?" I mumbled, lifting my head. I soon regretted it as pain shoot though my thick skull. "AHG!" "Oh! I-i'm so sorry..." "I'm okay, It was my fault." I wondered how I didn't feel that during the brawl. "O-okay... I just wanted know if you remembered anything." "Urr..." I thought hard, concentrating on remembering. "GAHCK!" I screamed as pain similar to the feeling of having a half melted metal rod stuck into a wound caused by a bear's claws covered in rubbing alcohol shot through my head. Everything went white as the pain lulled me into a probably deadly sleep. Elsewhere... "Gallos!" "What?! I was being terrifying! What else am I supposed to do with all my power?" "I don't know, use it to actually do something useful to the mission?" "Stay out of this, Tails. You haven't done much either." "WELL SORRY, MISTER MASTER. OH WAIT, YOU AREN'T THE LEADER!" "Well at least I have common sense! You did nothing to help the me capture Ondion, and now you expect you can goof off during the even MORE important stuff? Well I'm sorry, but you need to actually do something! We can't awaken him by sitting around! We must get the rest of us together! Rally up and get the others to me, and kill the 5! I have been searching for our brethren while you tortured random mortals!" "Alright you two, stop bickering. I admit I was lazy, messing with the peasants. But now, we need to find Lavos before Songa gets the guts to kill him!" "..." "He's right, Tails. We need to find him. We should stop this. We're acting like babies. We should be ashamed!" "Okay, I get it. but Discord, he should be our first priority. If he gets out from that stone prison before we can convince him to continue his true job, he might never listen. He could simply wipe that pony princesses off the plane of existence, but no, he plays games with them." "I know, that is true. But he seems to be considering this in his rock." "Yes..." "By the way, I swear I sensed Leaf's soul in this one place... It was in Equestria, the place where Discord was imprisoned. Do you think he could be alive?" "No! Impossible! I crunched all the life out of him... No matter." "Is something wrong, Mystraga?" "No, never mind. It is puny compared to the tasks we face." "Yes... Soon. Soon we shall kill them all..." And all will be darkness...
