Hidato reformatory. A special facility for particular inmates whose crimes where particularly grave. That none of them managed to escape was kinda obvious. What wasn't obvious was the host that entered this facility two months ago. The warden approached one cell and opened the door, only to find a red haired boy dressed in black sat in contemplation. He then knock the metallic wall of the room with a metallic stuff to get his attention.
"Get up already, Alex." The warden ordered.
"Alright, alright," Alex said quietly with a bothered tone. "Tsk. Not that I want to remain here doing nothing anyway."
"Keep it up knowing your place, you punk." The warden said harshly before leaving the jail. "Besides, you have a visits.
Alex flinched. "What?"
Two figures stepped inside the cell. A tough girl with a long black hair and a tall guy with a serious face. Alex knew very well who they are.
Alex sighed. "Gon, Lena."
"We know that you didn't had beat up the president of our school," Lena said.
"However, this does excuse your method of revenge against the ones who had wronged you." Gon reminded.
"I am not obligated to keep consideration of my actions." Alex said.
"If only we weren't guarded, I could had kicked your sorry ass," Gon threatened.
"It's not worth the effort," Lena suggested.
"Hey, I've done what I think its right and suit me at the same time. Nothing wrong with this." Alex said.
"You son of--" Lena halted.
"You had been changed for the worse." Gon said.
The warden approached the trio. "The visit time it's over. You better go. We have our rules."
With that Gon and Lena leaved Alex alone as the warden closes the door of his cell. That was a bitter reunion, but Alex didn't cared at all. At this point, Alex lay on his bed and took his sleep, waiting for dinner to come.
But came instead was the ringing of the alarm. Confused, Alex stood up and rushed toward the door to hear what was going on. Multiple guards were talking to eachother
"We have a problem, four inmates disappeared in the nothingness, and their cells were sealed!."
"WHAT!?"
"Are you serious!?"
"I saw that in the cameras!"
"Four inmates just disappeared inexplicably? What the hell is going on?" Alex thought,
"Could be the same thing happened to her?"
"Her who?" Alex demanded.
But before he could ask anything else, a unbearably immense light was illuminating the room. He shielded his eyes to prevent his retinas from being damaged. He couldn't understand what is going on. Alex tried to interpret the situation, but he felt instantly weak and light-headed. The world around him warped itself, and seconds later he found himself falling inside of a endless dark abyss. He tried to scream but he was unable to do so as he passed out during the fall. So his mind does that for him.
"WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
That would be literally a journey to the abyss.
As his consciousness stirred, Alex was greeted by a grotesque scenario. He was nearby an altar, in what seems to be a combination between a prison and a ceremonial room used for some ritual sacrifice, which was baffling for him. There are cells on his right and on his left respectively. Being there was confusing considering that he was in his cell a few moments ago. As he tried to move his body, he felt it being weird like no other.
He stood up four legged like it was natural to him and observed his body... Which was changed. Not feeling his fingers at all, he immediately glanced at his own hands. He froze in horror upon seeing them being replaced by hooves. He then quickly took a look a his back legs, and then to rest of his body, being covered in a green fur.
"No... You are kidding me right?" Alex asked.
Noticing a mirror being in the front part of the altar, he saw his current from: He was turned into a pony in the style of MLP, dark green maned green stallion. Among the surprises that he had witnessed so far, that was the worst one. This is also count since he was also a bashing internet troll targeting the MLP community.
"Seriously, I had gotten arrested for a crime that I didn't had committed and now this. This can't be happening. There's no possibility that such thing could happen."
Seemingly pissed for the thing, Alex checked every part of his body one more time and slapped himself twice. What he was living was true. He stood up two legged in protest.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?"
"Oh, look, there's another victim into their grasp," One female voice said from behind the altar, startling him.
Forgetting for a moment to have been turned into a pony, he took a moment to remember where he heard that voice.
"Who's there?" Alex asked.
A mare came out from the altar, being the one before being reformed and ex leader of the Our Town cult.
"Starlight Glimmer it's the name. You must be new to this cursed place." Starlight said mockingly.
"Well... Yes.... Wait, what do you mean with cursed?" Alex asked.
"During the exile that Twilight had inflicted on me, one of my former friends took me into this place to be sacrificed."
"Sac.... What?"
"That traitor started it's own cult and began to gain more followers than I had before, all of that in honor of a alicorn."
"A-alicorn?"
"You won't even know who she is."
Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by some voice.
"Hey, guys! I think we found both her and somepony else that is going to join our cause!" A elder voice said from the entrance.
"Oh, no." Starlight said.
"That's not good," Alex said with a grave tone.
Hoofsteps were heard getting closer to the entrance with the pass of the seconds. Multiple ponies in red cloaks entered inside the room, armed with shovel shaped swords. The unicorns carries five of them. Among them there was female mare dressed in a green cloak, also armed with the same weapon, only more longer. Those creatures formed a wall a frenzy. Starlight was intimidated by that but Alex was surprised to see who the green cloaked pony is.
"Sugar Bell it's the cult leader?" Alex said stupefied.
"Yeah, you can tell that," Starlight confirmed.
"It's doesn't matter who has to die. Every sacrifice and rebirth is needed for our new god," Sugar Bell proclaimed.
"Oh, great. So tell me. What kind of fucked up god is this?" Alex asked.
"Shut up. Don't get things worse!" Starlight halted.
"She is the one who show the truth about the laws that rules this world." Sugar said with gleeful and yet serious tone. "Celestia and Luna deceived us for a very long time. But she unmasked their lies and revealed the Elements of Harmony's their true colors as the self proclaimed Elements of Insanity. But i have faith in Painset, because she will save us all!!"
"...... Ok, your level of cultism is abysmal. We have a problem." Alex commented.
"Enough talk, seize them!" Sugar ordered.
Before the order was delivered, three claws protruded from Alex's right hoof and shoots black lightnings at Starlight, who fell on the ground while yelping for the pain. Sugar and her follower stopped, and Alex goes to check Starlight condition when something strange was happening to her.
A dark red aura suddenly engulfed her body. Starlight slowly rose up, but in a very unusual way. She was standing on her two legs like a human without even realizing it, holding her head with her hooves as she was suffering from a that was whipping her brain. She shook her head frantically and let out a pained moan.
Then a strange transformation was occurring to her body. She watched her hooves in awe as her pink coat loosed it's luminosity and became a pale lavender one. The violet colored part of her mane became tinted into a magenta one. Her mane was also getting longer and her violet eyes were colored in red.
"What have you done to me?!" Starlight howled, confused and troubled.
Starlight struggled to repel the alien influence that was infesting her mind. Her inner being was being shaken by the corrupting aura. Starlight tried to reassure herself that is not real, but her focus was then interrupted by a stream of memories that weren't her own. The images were all blurry at first, but then, slowly, they showed a really crude scenario. She could see the fate of the Elements of Harmony and their possession that lead them to became the Elements of Insanity.
Unable to resist any longer and being assaulted by the mnemonic flux, Starlight looses her consciousness. Alex trembled for the fact that it was incidental and most of all because he didn't know where these claws came from.
There was a moment of silence. Nothing happened so far except that Sugar Bell and her followers slowly approached Alex. In response, Alex put on a fighting stance, as for a street fight style and kept his eyes on his pursuer.
"Ok, wackos. Get on!"
"I may not like ponies and I don't know what the hell is going on, but I wonder if I had accidentally killed Starlight."
But before Alex could concluded it's phrase, a creepy and yet warped voice interrupted him.
"Wretched traitor, stop trying to steal the spotlight, ya shitty witch!"
Alex got his answer from Starlight Glimmer's voice coming from behind him, but his intuition was telling him one thing:
She wasn't the pink unicorn that he met before.
"It's Bloodbath Fever time!!"
Alex hesitantly turned toward her. He got a good look of her appearance, but not in a good way.
Starlight was standing two legged, holding a sharped iron scissor for each hoof. Her once bright pink coat was now a pale lavender one. Her mane was a messy, long magenta one, leaving the azure colored part of it unaltered. She has blurry, shaped red eyes and her tongue was abnormally large, coming out of her mouth and reaching her chin. But it cannot hide her gleefully sadistic and dreadful expression that her face was displaying.
Compared to the ghosts who had transformed the Elements of Harmony into the monsters that they are now, this one was different. Is not a TF2 Freak, and is not a internet meme either. It was something else, a entity that he had accidentally created with his own hands
"What the...?" Alex murmured, watching at the new pony freak that he had created with his own hooves.
"Yo, guys! Did i missed something!?" The new Starlight said with a confident tone.
Sugar Bell and Night Glider gasped, looking at her with in bewilderment. But the most bewildered was Alex. He felt like he had passively smoked pot without even realizing it. He couldn't believe is real.
"I DID WHAT!?" Alex shouted in disbelieve.
"S-Starlight?!," Sugar Belle exclaimed, baffled by her behavior. "What happened to-"
"Shut it, loser!" interrupted the new Starlight, displaying a murderous aura. "I don't even need that name anymore. I'm now the epitome of bloodlust, Starcider Glimsho!"
"Oh my god if this is getting ridiculous." Alex thought
"But seriously, the old Starlight Glimmer is a real failure." Starlight, now Starcider Glimsho, affirmed.
"Y-you are joking, right?" Sugar Belle muttered, realizing something. "I can sense something wrong in your magic! How did you gain that-"
"KYEEHAHAHAHA!!" Starcider laughed loudly, interrupting her again. "With a murderous rebirth comes a murderous reward! Something that you don't even deserve!"
"SILENCE!" Night Glider screamed in anger, flapping her wings and rising in the air while holding her own shovel sword in her hooves. "I don't care what sort of monster you had become! You killed our companions! You don't deserve our god's forgiveness! You will be destroyed as a blasphemous heretic, along with that green stallion over there!".
Sugar Bell used her telekinesis to lift every single shovel shaped swords of her fallen followers and pointing them toward her two targets. Her intention was then confirmed by her enraged expression.
"Starlight, you were almost escaping your purification." Sugar Bell said angrily. "I don't know what happened to you, but either a you or that fake detective have defied our god for the last time. I'm going to clean your acts by SHREDDING YOUR FLESH PERSONALLY!"
"Bitch please," Starcider said as she summoned multiple energy scissors and launched all of them to Sugar's head and that of their followers. Strangely enough, they didn't bleed or anything. They just turned themselves into pile of ashes.
At that point, a question was the legit one for Alex.
"In what mess I fell into... And where did my powers came from!?"
