Chapter 8
As Erick sat himself down, fluttershy comes back with a teapot and cups. They serve themselves a cup of tea and started conversating.
"Once again I must thank for letting me stay here for now." said Erick
"It was no problem Erick, I'm sure you would've done the same thing if I was an alicorn." said Fluttershy
"I probably would've acted the same as you too." Erick said as they both laughed. Their time together would soon be cut short as Erick spotted a rainbow pony tail sticking out of a bush. He then calmly got up and walked away from the kitchen
"Great I think he saw us." Said Rainbow dash towards her friends. As she finished whisphering to Twilight and Spike, the others of the mane six showed up. "Get down" Twilight said to them as she pulled them to the bush and hid them.
"What is the meaning of this?" Asked Rarity.
"It turned out that Erick is friends with the princess and he doesn't want to tell us his history with them and now we're planning on sneaking up on him while he's talking with fluttershy." said Spike.
"Oh my, if he acted like that then it must be a big secret, and I just love secrets." said Rarity.
As Erick left the kitchen he walked towards the living room and opened the window to sneak out.
"Wait don't go there. That's the everfree forest, the most dangerous, scariest place in all of Equestria." Fluttershy Warned Erick.
"I know that..... which is why it's the most perfect place to hide." Said Erick as he stepped outside. "Now listen to me Fluttershy..... It's best you forget you ever saw me. goodbye." Erick said as he galloped into the forest. At that same moment Fluttershy's door was opened by five ponies and a dragon.
As soon as he thought he was safe, he went at full speed, not caring where he was going as long as he was away from them, but as he went deeper into the forest, it started to become more treacherous for him.
"So tell me fluttershy... who were you talking to?" asked Rainbow dash.
"No one."
"Then why is their two cups of tea at the kitchen?" asked Applejack.
"Because it was for Angel bunny."
"He's asleep right now." said Spike.
"It's for when he wakes up."
"Do you have anymore tea?" Asked Pinkie Pie.
"N-N-No"
"Why is the window open if your telling to let your pets sleep?" Asked Twilight.
"Some got too warm."
"And why do you have stallion clothes hanging outside to dry?" Asked Rarity
"........"
"Well?" said Rarity
"B-B-Because I like cross-dressing."
The whole room was left at silence and confusion when Fluttershy said that response.
"For Celestia's sake we know you were talking to Erick." said Twilight. "What we want to know is that why are you protecting him?"
"Because he's a nice stallion and I don't think you need to chase him." said Fluttershy.
"But, he's hiding something and there only place he could've gone if was running away." Twilight said as she was staring outside the opened window. "And your coming with us."
As Erick continued galloping in the forest, he soon came upon a bridge and on the other side was an abandon building. "Perfect place for hiding." he said to himself as he crossed the bridge with caution.
As he entered the building he looked around and found some laboratory equipment on the floor and tables. "This looks like a lab, but for what?" As he continued to Explore the building he found an old binder with some barely readable notes and documents. He then read to himself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name: Professor Accord
Occupation: Elements of Harmony researcher.
- It's been 2 years since the beginning of our research, We have found six elements of harmony between the two alicorn sisters and fundings are still going smoothly.
*one week later*
-As we continue to research we keep finding less evidence of more elements still undiscovered.
*Months later*
-His Highness is threating to cut our funds, but I believe my newest discovery will convince him to change his mind about what to fund for research.
*one week later*
- The king is a fool! he denied my idea for the research of chaos magic. I will show him the potentials of this magic.
*one day later.*
-We have found a new element today, but it didn't show up from neither of the alicorns. I must dispose of it quickly for it might harmed my chaotic research.
*The next day.*
-All funds have been cut off, my colleagues have left with the Elements of Harmonies. What Fools they are not believing in my research.
*The rest of binder was nothing but scribbles until the last page.*
-EQUESTRIA SHALL BE MINE!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He shut the binder in fear of what he saw...... he fear soon turned to anger as the binder mention one pony. "His Highness." he said in anger. "His royal highness" as he got even madder a dark smog started to come off of him and into the sky.
"Hey gals look." Applejack pointed out to her friends. "You think Erick might be there?"
"It's definitely Erick, but that's not his usual magic. It looks like...... DARK MAGIC!?" said Twilight as she started running towards the smog with her friends behind.
Erick soon finally released his anger onto the laboratory by breaking everything in sight. "THAT STUPID, STUPID KING!!!" As broke more of his surroundings, the dark smog was starting to build up in the atomsphere and started to take the form of a winged beast. It was so big, than it could even be seen from Canterlot.
"Celestia! Come look." Luna Called out to her sister.
"The second sign...... The winged beast shall reveal itself at the center of of the strongest source of magic, filled with the biggest ammount of hatred." said Celestia.
"And from that hatred, the night shall be brought early, for the beast is Nocturnal." as soon as Luna said those words, the sky turned dark, but not because of her. "We must ready the Chariots and bring the guards with us."
"We must also bring the Elements of Harmony." Said Celestia
Twilight and her friends soon found Erick in the laboratory as they were shocked (except for Fluttershy) to see that their friend was alicorn, they had to speak to about what's happening. "Erick stop! your spewing out dark magic." said Twilight.
"NO!!!! I'VE NEVER FELT SUCH RELIEF."
"Erick tell us why your your so angry, we can find a wayto calm you down." said Spike.
"CAN YOU TURN BACK TIME!? CAN STOP KING GALAXY FROM SENDING ME TO MY DEATH!?" said Erick in anger. Fluttershy soon decided to take action and walk closer to Erick.
"Fluttershy what are doing!" said Rainbow Dash to her.
"Erick...... it's me Fluttershy."
Erick soon turned to her.
"Erick please stop this.... your scaring everypony.... including."
"No! I love expressing myself." said Erick.
"Erick Please!" Fluttershy said as she ran up to him and hugged him, not knowing the dark magic would burn her a little, but she would let go. "As your friend I'm asking you to stop." she said as a tear drop fell from her from the pain.
Erick soon started to calm down because his conscience started to return to return to him. "Sweet Celestia....." He said as he saw an injured Fluttershy, five scared ponies and a dragon and complete destruction around him. "what have I don?" A mysterious voice coming from the smog coming from outside soon spoke.
"You have released me, your hatred has fueled and awoken me, I am Nocturne, The Deity of Darkness and Evil." and out from the smog came a giant Owl with pitch black feathers and Talons. "And now I have no use for you my little pony. for I shall rule this realm!"
