//------------------------------// // Not One For Change, Especially Drastic Ones // Story: Agent of Chaos // by Enfield //------------------------------// "Okay, two steps was good, now lets see if I can get to that mirror," I say. For the past hour I've been trying to walk on four legs like how I saw Fluttershy do it. So far I've been unsuccessful for two very good reasons, the first is that my legs are still broken and the second is that I was never a quadrupedal being before. For the most part I've been falling over into things. I'm glad that Fluttershy left some time ago to get her friends, she would be up here in a flash. As for Angel, he's been staring at me ever since he fell under my mind control. The little bugger hasn't taken his eyes off me, I'm sure he knows what the little stone around my neck is and I don't want my cover to be blown. I manage to stagger over to the mirror and I see what Discord has done to me. "Oh no," I groan. I've been turned into a pony. It's kind of strange looking into a mirror and seeing something else staring back but you know that it's you. For me, it wasn't what I wanted to happen. Even though I have been changed I kind of like my appearance, my entire body is the gray that you'd see on an old battleship. My hair, or mane, is black with silver streaks running through it, my tail, which I noted last night was the same color with the same streaks. Thankfully my eyes are the same dark blue but I'm still really annoyed with Discord changing me into a pony without telling me anything. "You like it?" Discord's voice said. "Show yourself," I reply as I stare into the mirror. Discord appears from behind my reflection smiling. "Do you like your new form? I based it off what I thought I would look like if I were a pony." "Why? Just why?" "You said yourself, you wanted to sneak into Canterlot. But I digress that you should have thought things through a little more." "Do you know what kind of pain I went through?" I ask as I lean closer to the mirror. Discord looms closer and makes my reflection disappear. "No I don't," he says flatly, "Now you listen here Scott, you are here to serve me. Do not make me come after you because if you do, you will suffer a slow and painful death. Worse than what you saw." Right about now if I was still calm, I would have backed down. But I'm not taking this anymore, I don't know if I'm alive or dead and I don't care where I am but I'm not accepting that this is happening My life got destroyed for some freak's amusement. Discord is going to die for what he did to me, I'm not going along with this change anymore. I now know that I've snapped, I blink and Discord has vanished and all I can see is my reflection. I blink again and I see that my irises have turned blood red, one more blink and the reflection of the room behind me is on fire and all the people who I hate are burning alive. My parents, my sister, the teachers who I hate and Discord are all alight and I see myself staring back, completely unfazed. The reflection changes into Discord's sneering face. "I am going to murder you!" I yell. I headbutt the mirror and send shards of glass all over the room. I step back and see that a few pieces of the mirror remain intact. In them I can see blood running down my face, I feel what could be foam forming in the corner of my mouth and a feeling of bloodlust slowly starts to consume me. I hear voices and more footsteps coming down the hall and I clamber onto the table next to the door and wait for my victims to enter the room. "So he's awake?" one voice asks. "Yes, he woke up last night, but I still don't know if you should see him," Fluttershy replied. "He said that he needs help, that's why you called us over, so we could help," another voice asks. "But I-" "Come on!" a hyperactive third voice says, "I want to say hi!" "Hold up surgarcube, he might be sleeping," a forth said. "It's okay, I'll knock first." A short tap on the door follows and the door bursts open and a pink pony bounds through the door. "Hellooo new pony!" the pink pony said. She looks around and sees the mirror shards on the floor. "Oh my, what happened?" a different voice asks Fluttershy. "I don't know, I hope he isn't hurt." "Did you not ask him for his name?" the first voice asks. "No, he looked like he needed sleep," Fluttershy replied. "Maybe he's playing hide and go seek!" the pink pony exclaims. "Pinkie, I don't think he'll be playing-" "Ready or not here I come!" the pink pony said. I poise to strike. She turns around and sees me. "Hi," I say creepily. "You don't play like that," the pink pony said, she then looks at me funny, "Are you okay? Why is your head bleeding?" "Let me show you," I say. "Wha-?" "VENGEANCE!" I yell and dive on the pink pony. The struggle isn't too hard because I manage to pin her against the wall with one hoof, or hand and in the other is a large piece of broken mirror. "You look like candy, I wonder if you'll taste like it too," I say. "PINKIE!" I hear someone yell. I look to my left and two hooves smash into my head and I go flying into the wall which stuns me. I once again can feel myself slipping out of conciseness. "How much longer am I going to be knocked out for?" I think to myself. Through my fading vision I can just see six ponies gather around me, a purple one looks at me in the face with a look of disbelieve. "You okay Pinkie?" she asks. "I'm fine," a voice replies. "What in the hay was up with him?" an orange pony asks. "Why did he attack Pinkie like that?" a white pony asks. "Dash, get some rope so Applejack can tie him up." the purple pony said as she turns to a levitating blue pony who nods and shoots off out of the window. "Should we got him to the hospital?" Fluttershy asks. "It's probably the best place for him," the purple pony said. She leans closer to me and looks at the Element around my neck. The stone lifts off the floor in a purple haze and moves closer to the pony. "What is this?" I hear her ask before everything goes black.
