Thunderstorm could only hear screams, talking right into his ear. All he felt was nothing inside, feeling as if everything from his body was being pulled out from his chest. "Shh..." A voice whispered louder then the sounds being blasted into his ear.
"Don't be afraid, you will soon feel the relief of the pain. All you have to do, is close your eyes." The voice was ragged, sounding like a women, with a little reptile slither to it.
He couldn't speak, all he could do is think. "What are you doing? What's happening?" He shouted in his head.
"Shh..." The voice whispered. "Go to sleep, you'll soon feel the warm awaking of pain relief, all you need to do, is sleep."
Thunderstorm obeyed trying to fall asleep, then his memory flashed and he soon felt a train moving him, his eyes opened slightly, only to be introduced to someone no where near me. "Have a nice nap?" It sounded like the same ragged voice, only it was a man.
"Huh... Where am I?" He asked, just as the train came to a stop.
"Well, you are in Ponyville, the first place that people will hate you in." He said as he stood up.
"Huh, how am I moving?" Thunderstorm asked.
"You have no control of your body, because it's mine." He deepened on 'mine' then he laughed evilly.
"What do you need me for?" He asked.
"You expect me to just straight up and tell you, no no, you've got to be a good boy." He chuckled softly.
"Do you at least have a name?" Thunderstorm asked.
"Us Changelings don't have names, but some just give nicknames, mine is Eiken." He said.
Thunderstorm tried to move, but was stuck in his mind, seeing everything. They passed by a few people, a girl with wings and long pink hair talking to.... 'Rainbow Dash?' Thunderstorm said in his head. As he started thinking of what the maniac is planning on doing, he felt afraid, but something different happened. Every time he was afraid, his heart would beat faster and he would hear it. Only this time, it didn't.
What did they do to him, he began to feel more frightened as a paper flew into his face. "Agh..." Eiken gasped, taking the paper and looking at it.
NEW PERSON!!! COME BY SUGAR CUBE CORNER, WE'VE GOT A SURPRISE WELCOMING GIFT FOR YOU!
-Pinkie Pie
"Oh this should be good." Eiken smirked and kept walking, heading to the Sugar Cube Corner.
"What do you plan on doing?" Thunderstorm asked nervously.
"Something you would never do in your lifetime." Eiken smiled evilly.
As they were walking, Eiken purposely bumped into someone holding books.
"Hey!" She yelled. "What was that for?" She asked angrily.
"Hey it's not my fault your fat butt was in the way." He insulted.
Thunderstorm was shocked, he would never talk this way, he wished he could talk and apologize. But all he could do, was watch.
She gasped. "Hey! That's rude, who are you to say those hurtful things and spreading lies!" She yelled.
"What made you think I'm lying." Eiken smirked. "Besides, from all those books your carrying, you probably like to sit on your butt all day and stuff your face with cake while you read." He insulted again.
She gasped, tears forming in her eyes. "What a hurtful thing to say!" She said with a sadness in her voice.
Thunderstorm wanted to just run, he couldn't, close his eyes... He couldn't, he had to watch. He cried inside, not wanting to witness this without being able to do something about it.
"Twilight!" Someone shouted. "I got the book you needed.... what's wrong?" A little dragon pop up, asking the girl.
"And who's that your little sidekick? Why isn't he scary." Eiken sarcastically said, then laughed. "Oh how I kid, please, your so small you'll need one hoof to crush you." He insulted.
Spike gasped getting teary, looking over at Twilight. "Come on Spike, let's get away from this jerk." She said grabbing his hand walking away.
"That was a little bit of fun, wouldn't you think?" Eiken asked Thunderstorm.
All Thunderstorm could do was let out cries, only making Eiken laugh more. "Oh, you'll break easily." He whispered, getting back on track.
"Don't feel bad right now, it's only just the beginning." He laughed, continuing his walk to the Sugar Cube Corner.
"If your going to make me suffer, why won't you tell me why you are doing this?" Thunderstorm asked.
"I don't know much, the Queen just instructed me to be a jerk to everyone in your body." Eiken explained.
"But... why me?" Thunderstorm asked.
"Think, you were so full of love, giving gifts to people for no reasons at all, throwing parties on random occasions, just because you like having friends. I bet you have noticed there's no heartbeat, that's because all the love has been ripped out of you, there's nothing left." Eiken responded.
Thunderstorm stayed silent, then spoke. "Do I at least get to control myself again?" He asked.
"Yes, but you only get to do that after the whole town hates you." Eiken laughed.
"Which means no one will believe me if I try to tell them about what's happening." Thunderstorm said sadly.
"Excellent, we now understand each other." Eiken smirked as he entered Sugar Cube Corner, it was dark, he felt himself look around.
As the lights flickered on, blinding him, hearing alot of people scream. "SURPRISE!!!"
As he got angry, he through the middle of the room to see a girl with super pink puffy hair. He then felt a little woozy, Thunderstorm stared at her, his heart beginning to beat, only making Eiken mad. "Impossible, don't worry I'll take care of that." It felt like a bullet to the leg, as it hurt badly, only, he was standing in space not moving a muscle. Then his heart stopped beating, losing his hopes of getting out.
"I'll get to you later!" Eiken voice shouted into Thunderstorms head, causing pain.
He then spoke for real towards the girl, with a angry tone. "What's happening here?" He asked.
"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!" She jumped forward getting a little to close.
"Get away from me party animal." He insulted.
"Hey you know my nickname!?" She asked, keeping that smile on her face.
"What? Forget it, what's with this party? Where's the gift you promised me?" He selfishly asked.
"Silly, this is your gift, new friends!" She ecstatically said, raising her hands to the air. "What do you think?" She asked.
Thunderstorm sighed to himself, knowing what was going to happen.
"Well what if I don't want friends? What if I want to do this." Eiken used the wings he had at the time and flipped a table full of cupcakes to the people in this room, covering them in it. Doing the same for the other side, and walking closer to Pinkie.
"That wasn't necessary..." She said getting scared.
"Oh it so was, and you know what else? Your little party planning really needs to stop, no cares about your stupid little parties and your cupcakes." He pointed to her as she began to cry. "I'm surprised your skinny ass isn't stuffed with junk." He insulted.
Thunderstorm had to see the look on her face, only making him cry more.
"Why?" She sadly asked.
"Because I can," He smiled backing away, turning to the exit. "Glad doing service with you." He said, leaving.
After a few minutes after he left, Pinkie stared at the door, tears falling down her face, wondering if he would just come back and apologize, saying it was all a joke but he didn't. She slowly sat down against the outside counter, looking at the mess, she pulled her legs in, crying into her knees as she hugged them.
"What the hell was that?!" He shouted. "Your heart just randomly started beating, what did you do?" He asked.
"I didn't do anything, I just saw her and.... I guess I kind of did..." Thunderstorm sighed.
"It's impossible, there is no way that's possible." Eiken argued.
"Nothing's impossible, just believing can satisfy!" Thunderstorm yelled back.
"Screw you, you lovable douche!" He yelled back.
Thunderstorm didn't answer back, he was annoyed so he just ignored him.
"I'll give you something to whine about." Eiken said, closing his eyes.
Thunderstorm opened his eyes to a bright moonlight, he blocked his vision and realized he moved. He grabbed his body feeling his clothes and sighed happily, but then realized, making him frown.
He looked around, seeing angry faces looking at him. Then he thought to himself. 'Why did he let me go? My heart's not beating and somehow I'm still alive?' He sighed, turning around from the angry faces.
Thunderstorm put his hands in his pockets and started walking around, as much as he would rather leave, something made him stay, he just didn't know what.
During his thoughts, a fist collided to his face, knocking him to the ground with a painful grunt. He looked up, seeing a man with a devilish eye. He walked up and grabbed Thunderstorms jacket and pulled him up, pulling him face to face. "Not so fun when you get punched in the face huh?" He said throwing Thunderstorm down into an alley.
"Listen, I'm sorry alright?" Thunderstorm put a hand up.
"Sorry?!" He yelled, picking him up and slamming him against the wall carrying him up. "Yelling at a poor friendly pony is not something to be sorry about."
Thunderstorm stayed silent, trying to loosen the mans grip, but to no avail. He was big, he had no chance.
The man raised up his fist and Thunderstorm braced for impact. "WAIT!" A familiar voice yelled.
They both looked over at her, seeing it was the same pink haired girl. "Pinkie?" The man was confused.
"Put him down." She ordered.
"But..." He pointed at Thunderstorm, getting interuppted.
"I said put him down." She bossed.
The man scoffed, slamming him one more time against the wall letting go as he did so. Thunder slid down into a sitting position as the man walked away, Thunderstorm looked over at Pinkie then looked down ashamed.
She walked over at sat next to him, then looked at him.
Thunderstorm looked over at her, then sighed. "What do you want?" He asked softly.
"Weird, what I think you would say was something insulting, what's up with that?" She asked.
"You won't believe me..." He whispered.
"Stop being so glum, all you got to do is smile." She smiled at him.
"Uh... my queen, shouldn't we do something about this?" A changeling asked.
"Wait, I want to see this." She said holding her hand up, looking up at the screen, watching closely.
"It's not easy..." He whispered. "After the stuff I've seen me do... I don't want to..." He sighed sadly.
"Hey, I can help you, I've got a friend named Twilight that could help." She smiled.
He remembered her. "I don't think she'll talk to me... well, I offended her real bad..." He whispered. "Eiken, is his name that's doing this to me... He said he was a....Ugh." He grabbed his chest as it burned.
"What is it? What's wrong?" She asked worriedly.
"Go... he's coming back..." He grunted, looking over at her as she didn't move a muscle. "GO!!" He shouted as it hurt more.
She turned her feet and started running to the tree house that was a few blocks from there.
It stopped burning and he laid there still, then started getting up without moving. "You almost ruined the plan my friend." Eiken laughed.
Thunderstorm didn't talk back.
"Now let's fix this mess you made." Eiken chuckled, as he started following the trail Pinkie ran too.
