//------------------------------// // Sociopath's streak // Story: The true Psychopath: Chaos vs Illogic // by The Psychopath //------------------------------// It was early in the morning, and the sun had barely lifted itself from slumber that the sky was already filling itself with various colors. The sounds of tinking and tankering were already filling the Everfree forest as the workers continued their work on the mage's tower. The mane six, along with Pandora were waiting for Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's arrival. It seemed that they were late, even. It had been an hour since the seven had arrived at the worksite, and there were no signs indicating the arrival of the alicorn sister anytime soon. However, just as Rainbow Dash was about to take off, the two statues of cloaked mages standing firmly at the "entrance" of the tower's premises began to ignite the purple crystals they both held out with conviction. A large pinkish opening in space time appeared, and through it came the two sisters, in quite a hurry. "Princess C-" Twilight tried to start, but she and the others were brushed aside and dragged along by Celestia and Luna's magic. "There is no time, Twilight Sparkle. Quickly. We have much to discuss." "But Princess-" "NOT NOW!" The two sisters plowed through the workers, knocking one aside and getting him crushed by boxes of nails while a colleague mocked his tragedy. The entrance was enormous. There were the typical mass of stairs leading to a higher platform and giving access to other doors, but the room itself, despite it only being made of some type of black marble lined with white streaks, there were many carvings in the walls that both Farseer and Pandora engraved themselves, such as the once famous battle of Lorganar, the blood demon, or the spell of Harvest Bounty. The windows had not yet been placed, and many holes were placed in the walls to perfect the construction in the possible eventuality of an error occurring. The entrance itself was much bigger than that of Canterlot castle, leaving Twilight's brief moment of correct thinking lead to her wondering how big the tower will finally be. Celestia opened the single, temporary door of plain wood leading to the storage at the north-east of the room and slammed it close. "There we g-AH!" the princess yelled as she saw Farseer waiting there with a malicious grin. "I knew that eventually I would manage to get you, Celestia." "Don't do that again." "Aahaha! That was neat! How'd you get here before us? Did Farseer tell you that we would be here? Or maybe Twilight Sparkle told you? Or did you see the future to know that we would be here? You look blind. Can you see? How do you see? What's it like being blind? How-" Pinkie found her mouth muffled by Luna's hoof. "I apologize, but this pink one is always talking quick like this." Farseer said nothing, and adjusted himself as he sat down comfortably. He crocked an eyebrow,then smiled, and said:"I knew you would be here. No. No. Something like that. Yes. With feats of meditation. It's horrible at first, but thanks to my meditation, I can see quite well." Everypony's jaw dropped, except for Pinkie who smiled and clapped her hooves. Nopony, EVER, had been able to follow anything she said, yet this guy managed to. "That was quite remarkable. And you are?" Rarity asked. "I am Farseer. It is a pleasure to meet you, Rarity." "Oho! What a gentlecolt, and Twilight has told you about me." "No." "Then how-" Rarity's prideful look changed to an astonished one. "My sights can see further than just the color spectrum." "What?" "That's enough! Rainbow, you were the one who warned Twilight and Pandora about Psycho, correct?" "Yes I did, Princess Celestia." "But you also said that there were others, correct?" "Yeah. Another mare with swirly eyes. What was her name again?" "It was Screwball. She didn't seem that mean though. Ah think she was just with Psycho." Applejack butted in. "Well, sister. I believe he found somepony like him." Luna smiled. "Well, that's a good thing, I think." Celestia began to twitter her hooves nervously. "But this doesn't explain why you are so stressed, Princess." Pandora added. Fluttershy hesitated to talk, but she went ahead:" Is it because of...of that other stallion? That green one that Applejack told me about?" "Yes." Farseer started."You see, I may not be able to see in the past, but I can see outside the castle and very far away. There are many things happening in our world. Such as the increased activity on Secantor Island, or the reports of a white changeling taking over the changeling hive." "This is what worries me. I think there are some things occuring in our world that is calling upon a catastrophe. The worst, for Luna and I, is the reappearance of Impaler." both sisters instinctively rubbed their rears without knowing. "Why did you do that?" Twilight asked with a weirded face. "Oh. That happens a lot when we think of him. Where to begin. Twilight knows that we were rather...mean fillies when we were little. What existed before us was the Council. They saw in us great leaders, but couldn't control us, so they called Psycho. In short, he took very good care of us, and taught us a few pranks." "That Celestia and I consistently throw at eachother." Luna grinned evily while her sister just glared at her. "Hmph. What none of you know is that what existed before the royal guard was called the 'council's militia'. This militia was ruthless and bloodthirsty, as, at that time, not everypony was in harmony with eachother. But their leader was the worst of the bunch. He was called Impaler, and nopony knew his real name." "He...he IMPALED ponies on spikes?!" Rarity screamed. "Yes. And many other things too. Twas a dark era. Whilst we were fillies, we had a lot of fun in annoying him, but he had habits of torturing us for it, and his guards were always with him. Those who opposed his methods..." "Don't, Luna. One day, however, Psycho was tossed out of the castle after doing a prank too many on the council, and we were held responsible. It was just an excuse to beat us senseless." "We hid in our room to avoid, and then it happened. Psycho became what you know today. He did...things, and revealed the actions of Impaler, who was fired, beaten by the guards who could finally express themselves, and became an alcoholic." "Then he just...disappeared from the surface of existence. We hadn't heard from him since." "However, we have been seeing news about things happening that have been clearly related to his works." "Yes. There were reports, since three hundred years ago that several pones and other creatures of high standing have been found impaled in their houses. And there have been reports of ponies in Canterlot being killed and having their blood plastered everywhere like paint. We can't find the culprit either." "Holy cow." Rainbow lashed out. "But I thought that Psycho and the Illogic weren't there to hurt anypony." "They aren't my faithful student. Farseer, if you could." "Yes m'am." The giant stallion stepped forward and linked everypony's mind to his own, revealing a scene showing Sociopath standing over a flaming Canterlot with both princess, dead, on his forehooves, with even scarier shadows behind him. Fluttershy was the first to whimper while Rarity started to hyper ventilate. "Psycho, and the other two ponies you've seen, are both from the World of Illogic, where nothing makes sense, and trying to find logic where there is none leads to insanity. However, the one you've met is now called The Sociopath, and unlike psycho, his name reflects his personality. He comes from the World of Insanity." "But I thought that Psycho wanted to take away your sanity so you could join." Pinkie scratched her head in confusion. "Yes, but that doesn't make you insane. DON'T try and think about it. It won't work. The World of Insanity are for those who are known as murderers, kidnappers, cannibals, torturers, and many more. It is an evil world linked to chaos. Speaking of chaos..." "Later." Luna enforced, which Farseer inclined to follow. "Right. Well then. The goals of The Sociopath are to kill Psycho for the humiliation he endured, kill the princesses for that same reason and many more, and to find the one who gave him his powers." "The World of Insanity." Applejack proudly said. "No." "What?" "You see, to be part of a world, you must be chosen by a herald of that world. Psycho, for example, is a herald of the World of Illogic, and he has brought many to the World. One of the ponies you met was called Blade Runner." "The white mare?" Farseer twisted her head. "Yes. The one who sent Psycho to the World of Illogic, and the one who sent Impaler to the World of Insanity isn't from either. I do not know who it is, but this pony is dangerous." "But what about everything that has been happening?" Rarity asked. "Rarity's right! I've heard in Cloudsdale that there have been weird orange gusts destroying everything." "Most likely an inhabitant of the Illogic." Celestia thought out loud. "I believe we might be getting an encounter between both soon." "There is one more thing my sister has not told you. Discord has escaped, most likely because of Psycho's energy." Everypony gasped. Twilight was the first to remember everything. "Oh no! Then Psycho and Discord will-" "No they won't, Twiilght. While he was trapped in the dungeons, Discord never sensed him. You also recall the information regarding Impaler? Well, he is incapable of approaching us." "Why." "Because he protects us at all times. While any other creature can harm Luna and I, he has placed a barrier of Illogic over us, shielding us from chaos and Insanity." "He loves you both very much, doesn't he?" Pinkie asked with a smile. "Yes. He does. However, I'm afraid that the increasing activity from both worlds will end up creating a battleground somewhere in Equestria, and Discord will be the cause." "Then we need to get ready to bring in as many mages as we can. I'll get started." Farseer stood up, covering her face in certainty and strength. "And we'll get everypony to look out for them." Rainbow Dash boasted. "That won't be necessary, dear Celestia." a deep voice cried out. Near Ponyville stood a strangely colored mare. Her appearance was that of a pony who went through fire and brimstone to reach her destination. She was wounded and tired. Apparently, Star Prophet's plan didn't go as intended. Then again, she DID escape from the three crazed poni...two crazed ponies and a golem. She needed medical attention, just enough to heal herself and get to Psycho. The otheres might not have been able to see him, but he and Screwball were there, floating about. Meanwhile, back at the extinguished city, Pyre was kicking the burnt wood giving off a charred scent that was quite enjoyable for her nostrils, while it just made Mr.Cracker and Ferro twitch in pain. "Curses! We lost her. I would have really loved to crack her leg bones to keep her from moving." the nutcracker slammed his jaws together with disappointment. "So? I would've melted her bones. THEN she wouldn't have been able to move." Pyre spat out a spark that started another tiny fire. "Oh really? How about I test this on you? I've been breaking bones since before you joined the Insanity." "I've been destroying and burning things before then!" "ENOUGH! We'll have to report this to The Sociopath." "Let's just hope he's in a good mood. Eheheh." "Stop clacking your jaws together. it's creepy." "I'm a NUTCRACKER! What'd you expect?" As the three began to bicker amongst themselves as they continued their way out of the pile of ash, a scope shone brightly within trees far away despite the lack of sun due to the sky being filled primarily with dark clouds which produced a gloomy and dark atmosphere. It was Quick Draw. "Hmmm. It seems they are on the move. I best report to the big chief at once."
