<A few days later>
Crimson exercised every day, this time more intensively. Twilight went somewhere with Spike. He didn't know where for several days. He was left alone in the castle while Sprint got a job from his parents. And Blizzard and Cherry went with him. Starlight sets out with Trixie on a journey through Equestri to perform a magic show. So my only activities are practicing martial arts on a portable training ground, checking the base, or reading about Equestria. But for one reason, he was bored of not having Twilight's company. He loved her and felt that this feeling grew with each passing moment from the moment they met. Out of boredom, he decided to walk around the city every now and then and see how he saw the Rarity boutique and entered the boutique.
As he entered, he saw Rarity smiling as she approached him.
"Hi Crimson. What brings you to me?" she asked looking at him.
"Nothing, I had nothing to do, so I just wanted to ask if you had received a message from Twilight?" Sitting alone in the castle bores you so much. Crimson said.
- I didn't miss it. Crimson, can you help me out? Rartiy asked, turning to him and taking out the measuring cup.
“More specifically, you want to do a new strike for me, right. But I have to upset you, I have my own costume designer. Besides, I'm not interested in buying any outfits from you, ”Crimson said, and Rarity put down the measuring cup as soon as he could read her movements.
"Why would you like to be the symbol of the stallion's front line?" Crimson asked, but only shook his head that he was wrong. But suddenly the door to the boutique opened and three school-age fillies entered. But their expressions did not look happy.
"Sweetie Belle, Aplle Bloom, Scootaloo, bad hamster won't let you say hello. Besides, I have a visitor." he said dissatisfied. But as soon as they saw Crimson, their expression turned to a full smile.
"I know you're the guy who lives in Castle Twilight," said one of them.
"You can tell us how you got your badge," said the third. Crimson was surprised by the situation, but Rartiy held her magic and spoke.
"Girls don't do it all at once. Maybe it's worth introducing myself at the beginning." Rarity said, pointing at the girls with his hoof.
"So this is my little sister Sweetie Belle. This is Aplle Bloom, the little sister of Apllejack. And this Scootaloo is Rainbow Dash." Rarty said as he spoke.
"Because we are Cutie Mark Crusaders!" all three shouted. And Crimson only laughed when he saw in them a reflection of his nieces and nieces who were their age.
"Crimson, what are you laughing at?" he asked Rarity, who was surprised by his reaction.
"Sorry ... I just remembered my family when I saw how excited you are to welcome me. But maybe I will introduce myself to you. I am the prince Crimson Brust." he said to the girls as their eyes grew larger at the sight of him.
"A real male Alikorn and prince. So you weren't lying about him," said Sweety Belle.
"Rainbow Dash told me they faced your best fliers at this air show." Scootaloo said.
"Good but first we have to do this why we came. Rarity, will you help us?" asked Apple Bloom with a pleading look along
with his friends.
"I'm good at what you need help with, but we'll go home." Besides, Crimson, do you want to come with us? she asked Rarity, who was hoping Crimson would find out how I could get those unusual tailoring fabrics they had once talked about.
<Rarity House>
When they were at Rarity's house, the girls told Rarity what they needed help with. “Rarity sea, help us, we wanted to help our friend Rumbl, we looked for many possible talents and opportunities, but to no avail. We consulted other ponies, but their ideas also failed. said Apple Bloom.
- I see. But nothing comes to mind, but I remember when I didn't have many stamps and asked where we got our own. Rarity said.
- Yes, but it won't help us as we wanted. sweet Belle said.
"It's a hopeless case." Scootaloo added with disgust. The girls noticed this unusual Crimson badge when they saw each other with their eyes and thought about the same thing in a moment.
"You have an extraordinary Cutie Mark of the Crimson Prince, we wonder about her uniqueness. Can you tell us where you got such an unusual badge?" Sweety Belle asked.
"What do you want to know about this story, long or short?" Crimson asked, drinking.
"Tell us the debts. Please!" Scootaloo pleaded and they both waited for him to tell him.
"Well, I have a Cutie Mark at the Royal Hyland Empire Academy in my country.
When I dreamed about a stamp your age, I imagined what mine would look like. But many have laughed at the fact that I don't have a Cutie Mark… “Crimson said when the girls intimidated him. "Were you outraged that he was making fun of you?" Because the Diamond Tiara and the Silver Spoon were laughing at us. Scootaloo said. - A little, but I'm done. Besides, I'm a prince, what everyone said about me was not true. And you know why, because they envied me that I can develop any talent. you just had to find him.
One day, I stood up for a tormented filly that was tormented by the entire school. I insisted that I wouldn't let anyone hurt her. Then some of the most brutal intruders came to me. Which seemed to keep them from hurting me. I started blocking them with my wings, trying to get out of there ... " Crimson was telling me when Rarity interrupted him.
"What happened?" She asked curiously, and the girls just stared at what he had to say with mounting excitement.
"Then I probably threw everyone away with my magic." I don't remember what caused these instincts or emotions, but I beat them. Everyone who saw it told me my eyes and body turned red. And something that terrified everyone. They said I started to surround myself with black blood and my body burned with the fire of the scarlet sun and then I exploded with magic, destroying most of the school and hurting everyone around me. Then they said I was screaming during this word: I am the Crimson Brust dragon of the bloody sun. Prince of Destruction and Hate, the Flame of the Dark End, the one who has the light of good and hope. Then I fell to the ground unconscious, then woke up in my bed in the palace. They told me I slept unconscious for a month. Since then, in school, they were afraid of me, my magic and the Cutie Mark associated with it. Then they began to say to me, Prince Crimson Brust, flames without fuel, flames without hope and flames without mercy. Because my magic hurt them so badly that the scars of my magic remained on their scars that heal. They blamed me for starting my life with no will to live, with no hope of getting rid of the pain of my scars, and no mercy that they couldn't end the suffering of their life. "Crimson finished his story.
All four were shocked at what he told them. They couldn't believe that he had received the stamp this way.
"Crimson, what happened to that filly you defended?" Rarity asked.
"Well, she became my wife. I miss her!" Crimson said, saddened.
"What happened to her?" all three Cutie Mark Crusaders asked.
"Girls are not allowed to ask like this!" Rarity said, angry with them.
"Alright Rartiy, and so it is not a rare secret. She died of a serious disease with which all her life struggled. And it's been a long time since her death. Besides, we were children when we got married." Crimson said his expression was full of sadness and a tear ran down his cheek.
"I'm sorry Crimson." Rarity said.
"This story sounds a bit like a beautiful love story." Sweetie Belle said.
And Crimson will just shake their head yes. "But how does this story help him find his Cutie Mark?" Scootaloo asked.
"The point is that you can get a badge in more ways than just talents. It also says a lot about the fact that you can get a badge through events, actions or even magic items." Crimson said.
"Thanks, Crimson, you really helped us!" they ran out of the house and into town.
"Fine, I'm already driving Rarity." Crimson said, slowly leaving and Rarity hadn't stopped him, thinking of one thing only as to why Twilight loved him so much. Crimson felt his locket vibrate on the way back to the castle. The characteristic thing was that he resembled his dragon that he had. The medallion was made of metals sensitive to magic, and of metals that only gave it unusual power. He knew one thing that I vibrated like magic or danger, but he vibrated all the more as he approached the Everfree forest. He knew that something dangerous was hiding in the forest so he went into the forest.
He felt this forest full of evil and knew that there were many dangerous beasts here. Suddenly he heard the sound of a jagba sobbing someone was crying. He followed him and saw Sweete Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo who, when they saw him, hugged him silently.
"What happened girls? What are you doing here, your parents are sure to worry." Crimson said, but he was quickly surprised by what he heard.
"But are you the real Crimson? Make us believe you changelings!" said Scootaloo who feared him.
"If you're a real Crimson tell us your full name?" Sweetie Belle said. "But what do you need it for now?" he asked, surprised, not knowing what they were doing.
"Because you're a changeling!" Apple Bloom said.
"My name is Pirru Iridal Oerasus Telar Repidus Dragonphenix Dark Flame Crimson Brust." Crimson said as the girls, delighted by this, snuggled up against him.
"It's really you Crimson, can you protect us by leading us out of the woods. She came back and kidnapped Twilight and the others. And he wanted us after we left you when you told the story," he said alternately when Crimson asked.
"Fine, but who came back? And when were they kidnapped? And ..." Crimson interrupted when he heard that something was approaching them, they would draw a sword and he surrounded the girls with a magic barrier. The girls huddled when they heard the voice of ominous laughter.
"I was so unsuccessful in kidnapping you, but I didn't know you'd find them. A prince whom Princess Twilight loves. Now I will be able to take two lands and no one will stop me." said the figure emerging from the trees.
"Queen Chrysalis! Why are you back?" said Apple Bloom who was apparently unhappy.
"Ever since Thorax and all my swarm betrayed me. I have decided to create a scarier and more daring one. Now, my daring children will surround them." said the Queen surrounded their changelings which were different from the ones that had changed when Starlight convinced them. He knew he couldn't let her revenge happen.
"As long as I'm alive, I won't let you hurt anyone! You're not the first to stop!" Crimson said, summoning the other sword he hid in his cloak.
"Get him off!" the queen ordered. After the changelings attacked him, he quickly met his talents. The sword easily injured those who stabbed him and some fell to ash when he wounded them. After there was room, he cast a powerful spell at her, which she with difficulty stopped with her magic. He didn't know how he could cast several spells at the same time. But the banika he chewed was breaking. Queen Chrysalis took advantage of this quickly and rushed to them.
"You will stop fighting or you will die!" she threatened, knowing she would not let them die. Crimson knew what he did now would change everything, but he did so in front of them with a ritual dagger that suddenly burst into his magic. He didn't know why he did it, but one usurper called and Crimson was dead. The queen glared at the group of little fillies, but her evil gaze turned to darkness. Behind them she saw an ominous shadow that pierced her soul with scarlet eyes. The sky darkened, but it was only afternoon. The scariest part was that the leaves from the trees suddenly fell, and the wind, which suddenly picked up, spoke as Crimson's body suddenly vanished. Voices pierced all the changelings, the chrysalis queen and the girls.
"Who dares to threaten the innocent ..." he said something suddenly in a whisper heard by the Queen and others. Suddenly she saw something invisible walking towards her, he wanted to shoot the target at nothing. She noticed that the one checking the head was ticking left and right when he saw something macabre and terrible. The usurpers who saw it had a terrified expression on their faces because their companion rose from the ashes and came up, wounds, something called them. They began to kneel, and then the dusters disintegrated. But then the wounds changelings began to draw something on the ground from their ashes and their blood as in a trance.
"Everything ok with you guys?" the queen asked, but suddenly his head turned 180 degrees at her. It scared everyone that everyone backed away and a voice spoke.
"What happened Queen Chrysalis? You never knew fear or encountered real demons?" he said how his eyes were black and his teeth looked more like a beast than a changeling. They will laugh terribly and those who chuckled and collapsed from bleeding out. It was a circle covered with symbols, runams, and glyphs. His laughter continued and black blood began to flow from his mouth. Queen Chrysalis knew it wasn't his blood. Then the head returned to its original position and the dragon began to vomit from the blood. But he was all black blood and with bits of red blood. And his laughter terrified everyone until she cringed in fear when they stood in front of them. After the king of the moment, the dragon transformed into Crimson and they roared at her like a dragon.
"Feeling is not a pony, it's a demon! I'm saving a life!" shouted The Queen ran away screaming and her changelings. The girls couldn't move because of fear when they saw Crimson approaching them.
"Is everything alright? Is nothing wrong with you?" he asked in a worried and soothing voice but after a while they managed to get up. "Then you take us to Ponyville and save Twilight?" they asked as Crimson suddenly opened the gap to Ponyville.
"Of course, but we'll get rid of the danger in the town first." he said quietly as they passed through the magic fissure.
Crimson quickly tracked out changelings who were impersonating Ponyville residents and learned that changelings were trying to get to the base. But no one was grinded up and kidnapped because they couldn't see how to avoid their protection systems, illusion strangers, and a lack of knowledge of their abilities. Crimson will quickly extract information from them where they were holding the abductees.
<In front of the new Chrysalis hive>
Crimson and his entire army were in front of the new hive of Chrysalis.
"Okay, sir, we are going in, we are doing a dilapidation, we are saving everyone and then the party at the base." said the captain of the branch.
"Okay, I will change you! There is no need to wait until the vermin scatter on the candle!" Crimson will exclaim. Chrysalis still did not take what she saw. Crimson came to life before her eyes, then she thought it would be better for him to be her ally than the enemies, but she knew it was already over. A sudden outburst awoke as she thought about it.
"My queen, get away, someone has stabbed us and everyone ..." he paused as he suddenly fell from a rifle shot. Chrysalis escaped leaving her new hive which was destroyed by the Crimson army. He knew one thing would complete her revenge, but the show of empire's strength gave her the idea to destroy her enemies with those empire's hooves. Crimson quickly freed them all and they returned to Ponyville.
