The Roman Pony

Chapter 11

I looked over to Twilight, she was petrified, her body shaking.
“Twilight... You have some explaining to do.” I said with a blank stare. She nodded.

She explained to me a lot about Equestria its self, and then began telling me about the more recent events.

“It only took him two days... In just two days after befriending Fluttershy he betrayed us... After that, he started destroying Equestria, plunging it into total chaos. Everypony in Ponyville are locked away from the fear of any rebels. After that he took over Princess Celestias castle, locking both princesses away in their own castles, he cast a spell to assure that all horns and wings were both rendered useless, even the princesses! He sent the Elements of Harmony somewhere, I have no idea where! I hardly managed to escape!” She explained to me.

It kept my attention the entire time. I slightly nodded my head trying to think in through. But then, the most important thing of all came to my mind...

“So... Let me get this straight... You’re actually a unicorn...” I asked. She nodded.
“OH MY GOD! I THOUGHT YOU WERE CUTE! SO THAT MEANS THAT I’M LIKE INTO BESTALITY!” I cried out.
“THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE FOCUSSING ON RIGHT NOW!?” She shouted at me.
“Alright alright... I get it... You’re a human right now, so that means I DON’T like besality!” I said with a slight sigh of relief. She frowned.
“Okay fine, I’ll think about that later.” I said with a sigh.

There was a rapid pounding on the door, I walked over to it creeping it open, I didn’t want anyone to see Twilight in fear they may rat her out. There I saw him, Andrew.

“Dude! That thing wants that girl!” He exclaimed.
“Yeah... I know...” I said calmly.
“Listen, we’ve gotta go tell him we saw her!” He exclaimed. I shook my head.
“Andrew, we can’t do that.” I said bluntly.
“HE’S GOING TO KILL US ALL! We’ve got to help him find her!” He exclaimed.
“No, just don’t... I have my reasons why.” I said looking him in the eye.
“Max, if you won’t, I will. Tomorrow, right after school I’m going to be here, and you better be ready to tell him!” He threatened pointing to me then leaving.

I shook my head walking back inside to Twilight.
“So... What’s he going to do to you if he were to find you?” I asked her sitting down.
“I don’t know! Either he’ll kill me or put me in the prisons with all the other ponies!” She exclaimed panicking.

I put my hand over my mouth trying to think... I didn’t want to rat her out, I couldn’t let someone rot in prison or die... But at the same time I couldn’t just let the entire planet die off! Then I grinned, I had an idea...

“What if we found the Elements of Harmony!” I suggested.
“Are you kidding? He probably sent them to the moon or something!” She exclaimed.

I thought for another minute...

“From the way you describe it... He’s an idiot! He likes giving you a chance to beat you otherwise he’d have absolutely nothing to do!” I exclaimed grinning. She grinned to.

“You’re right! He always does give us a chance thinking we won’t be able to beat him!” She said excitedly.

“So what do these Elements of Harmony look like anyway?” I asked her.
“Well... One of them that’s mine is a crown, the other five are necklaces.” She explained. I grinned widely.

“Are they all gold with diamonds on them!?” I asked quickly. She nodded.
“LETS GO! I think I know where they are!” I shouted jumping up.
“I can’t go out! If someone sees me they’ll rat me out!” She exclaimed to me.

I thought hard for a minute... “Alright... I know what we do.” I said smirking. I grabbed onto Twilight hair. “OW!” She shouted out. I grabbed the scissors from the floor. I started cutting at her hair smiling as I did so.

“Stay here.” I said. I ran inside coming back a minute later with a can in my hand. I started spraying all of her hair.

Her hair was now solid white, her hair only touching her shoulders, it was lared now. I smiled proudly at my work.

“Now you don’t look like Twilight anymore!” I exclaimed grinning.
“How did you make my hair white?” She said looking at her bangs.
“Oh, I had this bottle of spray paint but it’s for hair, I had it from last halloween!” I said
“Now lets go!”

We started running through the alleys, people we passed were always suspicious, looking around, watching for Twilight. A few times from a distance we could hear Discords name being shouted out loud.

We came up to the forest were me and Andrew had been playing cards, and were I found Twilight. I looked up in the trees, they I saw it, the sparkle I had seen! Hanging from a tree branch, five necklaces.

I started climbing up the tree, it wasn’t very tall. Twilight looked up at me worried.

“BE CAREFUL!” She shouted. I lost grip of one of the branches by the sudden shout but quickly grabbed back onto it. I was right in front of the necklaces grinning, I snatched them, but then my left arm gave out and I fell...

I was right about to hit the ground, but Twilight caught me! She wasn’t very strong, but in just a moment later, she dropped me.

“Thanks for returning the favor.” I said rolling my eyes standing up.
“Yeah no problem...” She said back laughing a bit as I pushed the leaves off my shirt.

“Alright, use the things and turn him back to stone!” I exclaimed holding out the necklaces.
“I can’t...” She replied.
My eyes widened.
“WHY NOT!?” I said angry after just falling from the tree.
“Well I don’t have my crown!” She exclaimed.

I bit my bottom lip. “So... We’re doomed?” I asked. She shook her head.
“Well, last time he took the Elements of Harmony, he had them all in one place... So someone else might have found the crown here.” She explained.

I grinned again, I remembered Andrew had told me that he found a crown a few days back!

“I think I might know where it is...” I said. We started running out of the forest, I looked around in every direction looking for Andrew, then I spotted him. He was walking around looking in every direction like I was.

“ANDREW!” I called out. We all ran together. He looked into my eyes, he was sweating.

“I’m sorry about this Maximus...” That was the first time since we met that he’d ever called me by the full name, it was usually Max, or Maxy... And because of that, I knew exactly what he was going to do.

“DISCORD! I FOUND TWILIGHT!” He shouted out at the top of his lungs. My heart sunk, I started shaking the moment after when I could feel someone standing behind me. I looked at Andrew frowning, then turned around facing the large creature.

His head looked just like it did on the laptop, but now I realised he was tall, or if he stood on two legs he would be. He was a mixture of a ton of different animals, his body was long and brown, one of his arms was a hawk arm, the other a lions arm.

He was grinning viciously, he grabbed onto Twilights head. Right before they disappeared, Twilight dropped the necklaces. I dropped to my knees picking them up, my eyes watering...
