Fear Itself

The Beginning Of Madness

Years after Nightmare moon's banishment Celestia wanted to know about the evil and madness of this world and if possible to get rid of it, she soon made a secret facility in a location unknown inside a mountain to study the evil and madness of all Equestria, but what she will soon learn is that some things were not meant to be tampered with and her mistake will cost Equestria dearly. Celestia has picked ten top-ranked scientists and hundred others to help them, Celestia ordered the scientists to do this, "I want you all to study the essence of evil and darkness in this world in any matter. I want to know a pony or creature can be this evil over time.". And so with their orders the scientist ponies worked for years and years of study and collecting samples of creatures of darkness, evil, and chaotic and soon they were able to combine these samples there DNA into a creature that can help them or be their destruction, many did not like the idea but the majority pressed on.

After years of constant testing, and many failures, the ponies in the facility thought it was a lost cause until finally one night they did it a creature was made in a case of liquid. The creature was made of pure madness and evil though it was strange, it was a human black hair pale skin with three eyes its eyes opened and its eyes were all black but the centers were glowing blood red, Though sadly those who were were near it were standing still their eyes turned red and they started to scream and were killing themselves and each other screaming there were monsters in the room but there was nothing in there, soon the doctors realized this creature has telepathy and can use its mind to harm those around him. While those ponies were killing themselves he was smiling lovingly to hear their screams as they ripped each other limb to limb. the head pony cried out, "Everypony stand back! get away from that monster now!". The other lab ponies run away from the tube and room as far as they can but in the tube, the creature smiles as they panic and the blood of their friends wash his tube.

The Doctors made safety guidelines as they learned about this creature they named fear, one stay out of the containment room where he is in, two do not contact the entity without a party of ten or more, and finally the biggest rule of all do not under any reason let the entity out of its case not even if it screams or cries to be set free. Celestia herself saw this creature and can feel its power is intensely powerful and hungry for blood and power fear stared at the princess and with a grin puts his hand on the glass wanting out. One night the doctors talked and discussed fear in the tube, "That thing freaks me out, all he does is stare and smile at us like he is figuring out who to take apart first like those first poor souls when he was made." a female pony said to her friends. a station says to her, "Least we get paid but sweet Celestia he is creepy as Hades. it's like he is staring into my soul when I am near him makes my coat stand on end.". The head doctor goes to them and says, "Look we have a job to do all of us here, to understand the evil and darkness of our world to protect our princess and families so get going and make sure to follow the rules.".


Though without knowing they soon learned fear was made without a voice he couldn't speak. Celestia came to the lab to see how the subject is and learned that he couldn't speak she asks the doctor, "If he is unable to speak how can we learn anything from him?". The head doctor went up to her and said, "there is an experimental magic spell to give him the power of speech but there need to be four unicorns in order for it to work." Celestia looks at him and ordered the doctors to give him the gift of speech and so they did. With powerful magic they gave fear a voice but in doing so they lost four members they were ripped apart from the inside out and with a grin fear said with a calm and soothing voice, "Thank you for the voice, I am sorry that they couldn't play more they were quite squishy and warm.".

The doctors determined how they died was from four ghost-like arms in his back allowing them to go through walls, metal, glass, magic, and sadly skin killing the ponies apart from the inside out. The doctors that remained taught fear their ways, history, mathematics, sciences, and other things, in science and math he is a genius and scored a three hundred on an I.Q test and which is higher than Starswirld or the other doctors the doctors worry and are scared of him. What Celestia nor the doctors knew was that his power fed off the fear and negative energy in this world giving him more and more energy so that when the time is right he can leave and start his reign of madness and bloodshed.

After years of being in his case, he has been bored feeding off the fears, the anger, sadness, and all the negativity in Equestria he just sits and watches the doctors study him in his case with a grin and thinking for all this time till the day he turned to adulthood he made his move. When the doctors were doing their studies one of them started to act strangely his eyes all red as he trots to the case, The guards try and stop him but the unicorn using magic strangled them and snapped their necks as he enters the room where fear calls his room the unicorn put in his accesses code to open the door but the doctors shot the unicorn and he fell bleeding and dead and fear looks at them with a smile. The unicorns didn't know why he was smiling till he said, "Well that was interesting turning on your friend and they say friendship is magic, but sadly for you, all I needed him to do was put in the passcode not to open it. So thank you for helping take care of one annoying thing to deal with.". The ghost arm comes out of his back and goes through the glass as he presses the activate button and the door moves and the liquid flows out of the case and fear steps out for the first time free and he laughs and says with a grin, "Now that I am out who wants to play first?".

The doctors run as the lab is on shut down the four ghost arms out and ready to play fear slaughters any pony in his path, the soldiers shoot at him with powerful electricity magic but with his hand, he takes the bolts and swirls it around and fires it back at them and it makes their hearts blow up in their chests. Fear of blood on him puts on a lab coat to cover himself as he is covered in blood from his feet to his black messy hair he hums as he walks on the corpses of the dead and notices one is alive and he rips open a door where the doctor was hiding and the doctor soiled himself as he shakes in the corner scared for his life, fear gets on one knee and looks at him and says, "Don't worry little pony you will be spared if you do me one little favor that's all simple, all I want you to do is give a message to dear mother Celestia that this world has seen so much war, blood, and violence so I say her reign is over long live the new ruler me the ruler of this new land of blood and madness. Simple now.".

Fear grabs the back hoof of the poor unicorn crying and shaking as he is dragged through the lab seeing his once-called friends splattered on the walls and floors and slaughtered. Fear reaches the massive metal door he grins and raises his hand to the door and a small sphere is made then a beam from it becomes massive obliterating the doors as he sees the sun for the first time he smiles and looks around at the kingdom he plans to rule. Fear looks at the pony who throws a rock to his head and his nose bleeds light blue blood fear grins and says, " Now now why did you have to do that and ruin my gift of you being unharmed? Now I have to punish you before I go.". Fear throws the pony into the rock wall of the mountaintop the pony falls to the ground coughing up blood fear gets on the pony's back and takes both back legs and pulls them backward the pony screams as he can hear his bones cracking and snap as fear breaks his legs. Fear gets up takes the pony by his tail and swings the pony above him and throws him far into a nearby lake, fear takes a deep breath as he looks to a village not far from this mountain he grins and says, " Time to meet the neighbors I do hope they like there new ruler.". Fear goes down the mountain with a grin laughing lightly then louder and more maniac and insane.
