The five sat at a table that was so fancy rarity would fall in love with it. The table was made of marble and had a silk red cloth covering it. “So Tia” said Hope sipping some tea into his crocodile like mouth “what is it that you want to talk about? I can tell you didn’t come here just for chit-chat.” Celestia got nervous thinking of what Hope would say if she wanted to reform HIM but she finely was able to say it “old friend” she said “we want to reform HIM.” Celestia closed her eyes preparing for an argument. But was met with Hope sipping his tea and silently thinking to himself. After a long moment of silence he said “Very well.” then got up from the table and breathed deeply causing a red vortex to open up “come.” he said and walks into the portal with the 3 princesses and the baby dragon following.

It was dark and lava was surrounding the area that only had one cage with a large hydra guarding it. They walked up to the hydra it raised its six heads but they were the heads of...ponies! “WHO DARES DISTURB THE GREAT SCYL- oh hi Hopeykins!” the creature yelled in a female southern voice “and the princesses too! Golly are ya here for HIM?” she said. “Yes Scylla we are here for my Brother” hope said with a smile as the hydra named Scylla moved out of the way revealing a white creature with red eyes a crocodile like mouth and a wolf like body siting on a chair reading a newspaper “Why hello brother dearest. I see you have brought your little puppets.” said the creature with a voice that sound alluring but creepy and deep at the same time “its been awhile, hasn’t it? I’m glad you’ve come to visit me brother. I know it must be hard to find the time, in your busy, pathetic life.” the creature spoke. “Stop thy foolishness Manipulation! You know why we are here!” Luna shouted to the creature as it laughed under its breath then said “you want me to be reformed? You really can’t be serous.” suddenly the eye of Hope turned Blue and a crack and pop was herded from the creature as it screamed in pain in a blinding light.

the creature was gone and in its place was a tall stallion unicorn with a messy mane and tail, blood red eyes and a cutie mark of a puppet being controlled by strings. “w-what did you do to me?!” he said. hope simply snicker and opened the cage. “now dear brother. ms Twilight will take you to your new home” said Hope. Twilight was shocked she was suppose to take care of that thing?! this was gonna be a wild ride.
