He cried in front of room 30-04 and then after he pulled himself together at the last second he vented his energy out by beating the door, eventually it gave way. Noise entered his ears, the sound of machines, he looked back and saw an iron maiden, a Judas cradle and a few other things, one of those was Rainbow Dash. Smoke rose as Vlad’s rapier was in Thomas’ hand and he spoke through his Master’s lips “Save her. Now!”
He ran to the iron maiden and over a set of speakers he heard “You realise Ms. Rainbow Dash that the human was too stupid to solve a riddle that is child play in the eyes of Faulty Mask!” Rainbow stared only at the ground as she wept, the speakers spoke as Thomas ran “Now the iron maiden will come to a speedy close” and just as the door began to ram shut Dash heard the crumble of concrete, she looked up and saw the one she least wanted to
“It seems you need a hand Rainbow” he held his left hand out and with a flame in his palm he slashed it across the air and pulled a massive claymore from the blaze. With Vlad’s rapier in his right hand and Isabelle’s claymore in his left, holding onto the rapier he took a full crescent swing of the Scottish sword and two of the four bars that pulled half of the iron maiden backwards, into ponies, Thomas felt a bit cocky and swapped the hands for swords and spun around as he swung Isabelle’s claymore again taking the final two bars with it.
The video seemed to be a live feed, “What are you?” asked the voice,
Thomas didn’t even look back in the direction of the of the screen “Your worst fucking nightmare” four black tendrils emerged from his back and moved the door of the torture device. Thomas walked over to the camera feeding the video to somewhere in Equestria, he picked it up and shoved his face in the view “Remember this face, because you ought to know what you’ll be running from” then he cut the feed by smashing the recording device into the ground with a single throw.
Thomas walked back over to Dash “Hey, Dash?” he smiled hoping for a response “Dashie? I’m gonna get you out of this, okay?” she passed out {Poor thing. I can’t fathom why they did this, but it cannot be forgiven. I can’t even guess what she went through, well I could, but how it was for her} he untied the straps on each of her legs holding her down, he then slung her over his back and walked back to the murder house without much of a resistance from zombie ponies.
In Thomas’ inner world Vlad and Isabelle sat opposite each other in their animal forms, a large black male wolf and a medium-sized white husky with bits of brown on it, the wolf grinned and the husky asked “What’s so funny?”
The wolf shook its head “This was exactly how I planned it out, every last detail. Even the camera smashing”
The husky tried to call his bluff “Yeah right, our Master is smart, that’s all. You didn’t plan any of it”
The wolf raised an eyebrow “At the moment of Mrs. Dash’s safety Master used tendrils to move the devise. My tendrils, proving he’ll need me if he wants to defeat any one of these ponies.” He walked past the husky as her jaw dropped and he whispered “Sister, I have this whole affair already planned out. Nothing you do will alter that from now on” she growled at Vlad “He’s mine, Sister. You lost” he walked away as she sat there and she dropped.
Thomas walked through the door and just like in stories from his world, the group waited for the return of the hero “Bitches ain’t shit but hoes and tricks” were the first words to leave his mouth and he took Dash from over his shoulder,
They all quietly cheered at the safe return of their friend and a fellow Element of Harmony, Twilight asked him “Thomas? What could we do to pay you back?” but he backed up and waved his palm around trying to say he was happy to help “No. We simply MUST pay you back somehow” he looked down at a slightly bloodstained shirt and tossed it to Rarity “She’s not the only one who can wash clothes”
As he left he said “Brown just isn’t my colour, you think you could make them teal instead?” as Rarity looked up to reply he was gone.
Thomas walked around Neigh Zealand and heard Kiwi accents, there was something about them that just made him laugh, probably the fact that he’s always found them amusing compared to the Australian accent he had, the thought that two close countries have two very distinct accents. He must have gained a hobby of sleeping on roofs since he came to Equestria and he was at it again.
Caroline and Thomas were in a hotel room, two separate beds, she’d pushed them together {Doesn’t she get it? I don’t want her companionship} she crawled through her blankets and into his side, a storm of lightning and thunder raged outside, rain pelted the window like a suicide bomber,
Caroline whispered “Thomas, I can call you Thomas, right?”
He answered back “I can’t stop you”
She smiled, he was talking to her, “Thomas, can I ask you a question?”
He smirked and replied “But you just did” she didn’t laugh back “About what?”
She answered him “About you”
He didn’t like where it was going, he told her “Just leave my childhood out of it, okay?”
She had heard about what happened to him and his sister, she put her hand on her chest “Cross my heart, hope to die” she moved in closer to him and she whispered,
“What was that? Speak up”
She moved in a bit closer and said “I asked: how do you feel when I say ‘I love you’?” Thomas’ face became stone, he was struck for words {Why would she do this? One of the fundamental rules of Private Authority is ‘Love is forbidden in all forms’. Say something} he stuttered a bit “I-I d-d-don’t have any negative feelings towards the statement”
She sighed with relief “Ahh, well that’s good” she wrapped her arms around him “I love you Thomas Belinski” the storm continued and Thomas tried to comprehend what just happened.
