//------------------------------// // The good in him // Story: The Hybrid // by red reaper //------------------------------// Twilight woke up in screams of terror as cold sweat covered her forehead. It was horrible, she was trapped in a cage with her friends as Chrysalis was planning to destroy Equestria. Twilight remembered the nightmare was real as she saw her friends with pain and sorrow lived in their eys while they were tangling from the celling in metal cages. As Twilight continued to look around her she saw Chyrug stood there and sharped his knives, she could see that the knives were made of bones and teeth. The thought of somepony kill animals gave her chills. The half changeling lower the cages so he could talk with the broken heroes. "Good morning" The half changeling woke the prisoners as wooden plates were waiting for them with hay and cup of water. At the sight of food, Pinkie took the plate and swallow it without chewing. Rarity took also the hay and ate it as she used the water as a mirror. Fluttershy shared her hay with rats who lived in the cage with her. Rainbow Dash threw her food on Applejack, she need something to make her laugh and it helped for a little time until Applejack threw back her cup, made Rainbow all wet and it was Applejack's turn to laugh. Only Twilight didn't eat or did something with the food. The alicorn princess came closer to the bars as the half changeling came closer. "Why?" Twilight asked "Why did you do this? I understand why Celestia but what about the others?" "Why?" Chyrug repeat the princess' question, " Celestia took everything from me. My father, my mother. It will be only fair if i'll take everything from her. When the princess will see the destruction of her people, only then I will take her life." "Yeah right!" Rainbow Dash laughed at Chyrug, " Celestia can control the sun, she will kick your flank." Chyrug used his magic and sealed Rainbow's mouth. "She is right" Twilight spoke again "Celestia is too powerful for you, she will defeat you. It is not too late for you" "Twi" Applejack moved towards her, and the two ponies' eyes locked "Why do keep trying to convice him, he's gone too far." "And so did Luna and the changelings, but there is still good in him, it just covered by hatred." "The hatred kept me alive!" The hybrid roared in rage "It kept me focused, and made me powerful. The hatred will be the key to destroy Celestia." "I am afraid that it's not enough" Chrysalis appeared behind her apprentice "But the wendigos will help you." "So that's why you need this war, to bring the wendigos." Twilight shouted in rage. "Yes, princess" Chyrsalis smiled "But to bring them, we need also the pegasi to join the war, so Lightning Dust will take some unicorns and earth pony foals to Cloudsdale." "Master, they just kids" Chyrug ran towards Chrysalis, trying to convince her "They have nothing to do with this. It's one thing to convince ponies to kill each other, they chose to kill each other, but this is wrong!" Chrysalis was not amused or happy with her apprentice as she used his magic and pushed him away. "If you want your vengeance you will follow my lead and do as I say!" Chrysalis left the cave and Chyrug was on the ground, thinking, is this vengeance worth it?
