A Lost Soul Returns: The King of Monsters

by Dark Star the Crazed

An Attack On the Nobility.

Fancy Pants and Flur De Lis had just returned from a party. Fancy opened the door for his wife, she nuzzled him and kissed him on the lips, and then she went inside. The first place she went was the kitchen. She walked over to the fridge and placed the pie and cake that she and her husband had taken from the party inside. She closed the door and saw a note. 'Don't turn around.' Flur just rolled her eyes and turned around. A silent scream left her lips as she saw her husband with a lump on the back of his head over a ponies back. In front of that pony stood another. The one who stood in front of her was a pegasus... They all were... One was red, one was blue, and one was yellow. They all had grey manes as well as masks that made them look like crying clowns. Except the red one was wearing a wolf mask. His cutie mark was an easel with a turntable on it. The yellow one spoke. "You should have paid attention to the message lady..." He raised a hoof and punched her in the face knocking her out cold.

The blue pony who was sitting at the table stood up. "Good job boys... Now we just have to get one more 'great' pony and send the message but I wonder who it should be..." He looked at the newspaper on the table. "I know exactly who!" He walked outside and was followed by the other two who had Flur and Fancy on their back. Then the three pegasus ponies walked down the street. The same night Blueblood was taken from his bed.

Fang awoke next to Twilight, he smiled when he saw the mare he loved there. Although he would never say it out loud he wanted to be with Twilight forever. However their duties called them away from each other occasionally. Today was not one of those days. Fang began to slowly nuzzle Twilight and gave her a quick peck on the cheek waking her up. "Fang... Please keep doing that..." Fang smiled and gave her another peck on the cheek, he slowly worked his way down her neck and once he reached her body he reversed direction and began to kiss again.

The door slammed open and Ana flew in. She was panting and trying to catch her breath. "Cadence, Celestia, and Luna told me to come and get you two... Some nobles were attacked!" She fell down and onto Fangs back. Fang looked at Twilight and laid Ana on the bed before they got up and dashed outside. They ran immediately over to Celestia who was just looking at the scene in front of her in shock.

There in front of the palace gates were three ponies bound, blindfolded, and gagged. Twilight gasped as she knew who they all were. "Flur Di Lis, Fancy Pants, Blueblood... I can see why some ponies would dislike Blueblood but that is to far... I don't understand Flur or Fancy though. They are just such nice ponies!" There was a crowd forming around the down the street. Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Cadence, and Fang went over to see what it was. "Oh my..."

There was a square where the statues of all for Equestrian princesses stood. In front of each one was a word that was spraypainted in the same color of the coat of the princess they were in front of. Blind was written for Celestia's statue. Ignorant was written in front of Luna's. Selfish was written in front of Cadence's statue. Foolish was written in front of Twilight's statue. Behind them was a wall that had been painted with big, red, letters. It read. 'Down with nobility! End the tyranny! Our attacks are honest and base! Canterlot The Pack will keep you safe!'

Armor, Fancy Pants, Blueblood, and Flur walked up and saw it. Fancy Pants and Flur just looked at it and nodded to each other before walking up to Celestia. "Princess... We believe that we know who is responsible for this..." Fancy started.

Flur had a few tears in her eyes. "I believe that my brother is the one who initiated the attack. He is the one doing this I am sure of it. While it might sound strange coming from one of his victims... He's right."

Celestia raised an eyebrow. "I was not aware that you had a brother Flur. Why do you think he's right?"

Flur sniffled. "That is because my parents gave him up at birth... He is only my half brother on my mother’s side but he is still my brother." She sighed. "My mother had an affair with a pegasus disk jockey about twenty years ago... My mother wanted to keep my brother, divorce my father, and marry the pegasus who was my brothers father. She never got the chance three days later the pegasus disappeared... Then he began hitting us... He told us we were trash and that we belonged in whorehouses..." She was visibly shaking now. "Throughout his life my brother has been trying to make a name for himself. He has the talent to surpass Peacaso with a paintbrush and Vinyl Scratch on a turn table."

Fang sighed. "Your brother’s name and stage name... What are they?"

Flur looked at Fang with fear in her eyes. "I won't tell you! You can't ask Fancy because he does not know!" Flur began to growl. "I-I won't let you stop my brother! All he has ever wanted to do is make art, in one way or another, and nobility has constantly kicked him in the stomach for it. He became addicted to pain killers once, because other nobles would have their goons beat him so badly, he had to take so many to deal with the abuse he was getting from the nobles... If I tell you... Do you promise not to hurt him?"

Fang just laughed at that. "Flur why would I hurt him? He is right after all."

Twilight, Cadence, Armor, and Luna all glared at him. "What!?"

Celestia held up a hoof. "Please my fellow Equestrian royals... Let Fang finish what he is trying to say. I am honestly not angry but curious as to why he thinks it."

Fang smiled. "Thank you Celestia. Now where was I? Oh yes ahem." Fang took a few deep breaths before continuing. "He is right. We of the nobility are the true aggressors and evil ones here. All his life he has just been trying to make art, but none of us know his name. Why? Because most nobles don't care about the common pony. We are blind because we have yet to see how the poor suffer, we are ignorant of the ponies who many nobles believe to be nothing but trash, we do not care about the homeless, the sick, the injured. Why? Because they truly are beneath us? No. Luna tell me. How many of the common ponies have you met sense your return? The elements do not count."

Luna thought for a second. "Two... A filly named Scootaloo. I helped her when she was having nightmares, and a colt named Pipsqueak. He helped me feel like I was not some freak on Nightmare Night... He thought of me as... A ariend." Luna's eyes went wide. "He didn't see me as a princess... Pipsqueak saw me as a friend."

Fang smiled. "How much do you know about your friend Luna?"

Luna shook her head. "Nothing besides his name."

Fang's smile grew wider. "Exactly. You are ignorant of any plight he might be facing. Now I'm not saying this is true but say... Pipsqueak was sick with a disease that was slowly eating away at him from the inside. One that causes him tremendous pain. Yet he does not let it show because even though it hurts, it hurts more to see your friends sad and not be able to do anything about it. He could be hiding his pain and acting all happy because he wants to see his friends happy."

Luna blinked and sat on her haunches. "I... I think I understand what Flur's brother meant when he called me ignorant now. I know nothing about the ponies I have talked to besides their names."

Fang smiled and turned to Cadence. "Cadence although you are the princess of love you truly are selfish. You can spread the magic of love and want to selflessly, and while that is admirable..." Cadence smiled. "It is not truly selfless."

Cadence and Shining looked confused.

Fang just continued to speak. "Tell me Cadence when was the last time you set aside some of your personal savings not for yourself, but for a charity? If you set aside enough bits for one just one spa trip and give that to a charity it might not seem like much bit it is amazing what a few bits can do. They can go to orphanages that are in dire states of disrepair, or to farms and help them be able to give some of their crops to orphans so that they can eat, or my personal favorite, it can go to finding couples who would love and care for the orphans as if they were their own, simply because they deserve it. It's not their fault they were abandoned or their parents are dead. Is it?"

Cadence just sat down with a look of realization on her face. "I guess I have been kind of selfish... I don't need to the spa four times a month I can settle for just three... I think I understand now... I've been saving so many bits for myself that I've been keeping them from going to, much, more beneficial purposes."

Fang smiled at Cadence and turned to Twilight. She was wondering how Fang was going to justify calling her foolish. If she was not convinced, she was going to stop talking with him, socially, altogether and only talk to him about government business from now on. "Twilight you are foolish because you believe the other princesses to be perfect. You believe that Celestia is never wrong. She was wrong at your brother’s wedding wasn't she? She did not notice that the Cadence that was with her was a fake and even scolded you when you tried to point it out. Now isn't it foolish to believe your teacher is completely perfect when she so clearly isn't?"

Twilight sighed, walked over, and nuzzled him. "Yeah... I guess he's right... He could have just come to us and talked about his issues with us though! He didn't have to make such a display happen in public."

Fang nuzzled Twilight. "Twilight actually he did. If you were to listen to him you would say that get right on it. However if he had not caused such a big stir in public like this, you would have forgotten about it in three months wouldn't you?" Twilight kept nuzzling Fang but nodded.

Suddenly a mare screamed out from the crowd. "Oh my gosh it’s DJ W0LF!"

The red pegasus, stage name DJ-W0LF, who was wearing the wolf mask last night walked through the crowd and ran up to Fang before pushing him over. He was soon grabbed by two guards. "Why!? Why are you doing this!? You’re a noble! You’re supposed to be the enemy!"

Fang smiled. "Release him now." The guards immediately released the pony. Fang then pulled out a bag of bits. "Here. One million bits. You can have it if you promise never to do something like this again."

The red pegasus took off his mask and looked at the bits. He took the bag and tossed it up and down with a smile on his face. Then he threw the bits back to Fang. "You can take your cash, and shove it!"

Flur gasped. "Blood! He just defended you for all you did and you tell him to shove it? What is wrong with you?"

"Nothing is wrong with him Flur... If I were in his position I would have done the same. After all I did just try to buy his silence. I am glad he told me to shove it. He just proved that he is just the kind of pony we need to see more in this society." Fang smiled and gave him the bag back. "Take it and do whatever you want with it. That's a tip for proving me right."

"I could get a house and some new equipment with this... No!" The pegasus shook his head. He looked over to an ally and walked over to it. He opened up the pouch and took out a hundred bit coin and dropped it. "Hey come on... Don't be scared... Take it. I told you I was going to find a way to feed ya' didn't I kid?" A small white unicorn filly walked out and picked up the coin.

"But... But... Why? I'm just a blank flank street urchin... I thought you were joking when you said that... Nopony has cared about me sense mama and papa forgot to come back and get me... I can't take this! He just gave it to you!" The little filly had tears in her eyes as she held the coin back out to the pegasus. "I-I don't need it! I’ll just keep eating out of the garbage..."

Blood just sighed and took the coin. "Your right. He did give it to me. But I'm giving it to you." He immediately gave it back. "Unless you want to come and let me take care of you that is..." He gave a smile as she dropped the bit.

"You... You’re offering to be my new dad? Why? Wait I got it! You’re trying to use me to get a cute mare aren't you?"

Blood smiled once again. "No... I already have a marefriend." He flew up into the air."Yo! Lemon Tart!" A lemon yellow, unicorn, mare with a brown mane and green eyes walked up. She almost tripped and was caught by Blood as he flew down. "You OK babe?"

Lemon just blushed and pushed her glasses back up to the position they were supposed to be. "Never been better boss..."

Blood sighed. "How many time do I have to tell you that you don't have to call me boss in public? You don't have to call me boss at all!"

Lemon stood up and brushed herself off. "Sorry bos- Sorry Blood but I don't want to ruin your image..." She looked at the ground and started kicking it.

Fang decided now would be a good time to make his offer. "DJ W0LF? I would like to offer you five hundred thousand bits to host a concert. The only catch is that you have to give the profit to the Canterlot lower district orphanage. The foals there are in constant havoc every day. The building is on the verge of collapse."

Blood looked at Fang. "Give the orphanage the bits... I don't need it... I get by on the tips from my raves."

Fang smiled. "Yes but now you have two mouths to feed." He pointed to the little filly. "What's your name anyway?"

"S-Spectra..." The little filly looked up at Blood who just looked back at her.

"I guess he's right Spec. That is if you want to be the daughter of me and my fiancé here." Bloods question was met with Spectra jumping on his leg and squeezing.

"Daddy!" She began to giggle and nuzzle his leg.

Blood turned to Fang. "I will take the job."

The crowd parted as Celestia stepped forward. "I am giving you a pardon... Don't do anything like this again OK?"

Blood looked at her. "I would tell you to take that suggestion and shove it but that would be uncalled for with my daughter here. So I will settle for this. I will keep doing what I did last night until the nobility gets a tax hike that will go towards the repair of homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and orphanages."

Celestia smiled. "Agreed."

Blood looked unsure. "I will be bringing a contract written in blood for you to sign tomorrow. If you forget I will do this again."

Celestia was taken back. Then she smiled once again. "Understood."

Twilight and Fang just started to nuzzle each other in celebration of this ending without an arrest or a pony dying. Then Blueblood walked up and some guards arrested Blood. "I am charging you with assault and kidnapping! I don't care if auntie gave you a pardon! You are going to prison for abducting me from my bed!" The guards and Blueblood led him away. Then the guards stopped. "What are you waiting for? Move!"

"Sir... This little filly won’t let us go past this point." A guard was looking down at Spectra who was in a fighting stance.

"Daddy did nothing wron-" Spectra was silenced when Blueblood walked up and kicked her out of the way. Then she started crying. "Mommy! Daddy! It hurts!" Blueblood had kicked one of her legs and, since she could not afford milk her bones were not very strong, broken it.
