//------------------------------// // Vengeance reaches Ponyville. // Story: Remembering a grim past. // by Sylif Daring Doo //------------------------------// _____*Rainbow Dash's cloud house 4:29 AM*_____ Storm sat in his windowsill looking out at the town, he sighed happily at the peace. "For once, no chaos, no death, just peace and quiet, I missed this." He said to himself. He looked up at the sky and chuckled. "Planned weather, where's the fun in that?, where's the thrill of a random tornado going to come from?" He asked himself. Storm closed his eyes and a second later he opened them, he had an idea. "I wonder how well this town would be if I destroyed the weather plans?" He said cheerfully. He then slapped himself on the face. "Yea right, and take the risk of losing my job?, ha no way." He said to himself. Storm looked around the room and sighed. "This country is disappointing, there is no excitement in it, everything is planned and controlled, so there cant be anything truly fun anymore, but its not my land so I have no say." He concluded. He looked up at the moon and frowned. "Not even the moon is free from Equestria,s control." He said with disgust. Storm sat in front of his bed and began chanting. "Give me something exciting world, I will owe you one." He pleaded silently. ______*Unknown 4:35 AM*______ Six brazier's sat in a large stone circle, one flame was red, another was orange, one was black, one was white, one was gold, and the last was violet. The orange pyre grew bright. "How long has it been?" Came a voice from inside it. The red one brightened next. "It has been eleven century's by now." Came another voice. The white flame grew in size. "If you two don't shut up I'll kill YOU first." Shouted a third voice. The Gold flame grew brighter. "It is a shame our sixth member cannot join us, six is better then five anyway." Came another voice. The black flame became much larger then the others. "GREED!, how dare you, our sixth companion died a long time ago, BY OUR MIGHT!, so don't you DARE say its a shame." Came a loud voice, the flame calmed down. "Now, Rage, Deception, it is your time, go into the world, but remember, keep your presence unknown until the right moment, Greed, Insanity, leave this place, and bide your time." He ordered. "And what of YOU Vengeance?, where will you go?" The voice from the red brazier asked. A mild chuckling came from the black flame. "To my host, where else?" The black flame's voice said. And with that the five flames departed the circle. _____*Rainbow Dash's cloud house 4:50 AM*_____ Storm's eyes flew open as he sensed something coming straight for him, his eyes turned green and he looked around, he ran up to his window and gasped, a black fireball flew right at him, but before he could dodge the fireball accelerated and flew right into him. He bit his tongue to keep himself from screaming in pain and soon passed out from the pain. "What in the world?" He asked himself while he drifted off into unconsciousness. Storm's body was enveloped in a black flame for a few moments, the flame receded into his body and all was quiet. _____*Rainbow Dash's cloud house 10:31 AM*_____ Storm groaned and he rubbed his forehead before slowly opening his eyes. he sat up and looked at his surroundings, he was still on the floor and nothing seemed broken, he looked down and gasped, his entire body looked like it was burnt, but he didn't feel it at all, he sighed and walked out of his room. He made a beeline to the bathroom and was relieved to see that it was empty, Storm went inside and looked at the mirror, he was happy that he looked relatively the same, save for the burn marks, the only difference was that his mane was a shade darker, and his eyes were now a shade brighter. Storm chuckled and walked out of the bathroom, he walked downstairs and smelled, garlic and pepper. he grinned. "Who's awake so far?" He shouted the question downstairs. "Its me." Came a familiar voice. Storm rolled his eyes and walked down the stairs and saw Dash in the kitchen. "You can cook?" Storm asked. Dash laughed. "Ha ha ha, very funny, so are you eating this or not?" She asked. Storm sighed and his eyes turned green. "No thanks." He replied. Dash chuckled. "I am never going to get used to that." She said. Storm smirked. "Good, then I wont have to work on that." He countered teasingly, he then opened the front door to see that it was sunny, he groaned in annoyance. "Does it EVER rain in this damn town!" He shouted. Dash laughed. "Yes but for some reason they always wait for about a whole week of sunny day's 'then' heavily rain." She replied. Storm sighed in relief. "Someone needs to tell those idiots that constant sunny days is not a good thing." He said quietly as he walked outside. Outside the house Storm saw Surprise reading a book, he could tell that she was reading the roster on the Artic special ops, he walked over and took the book from her. "Don't read this." He ordered as he set the book down on the table on the opposite side of her. Storm opened the door to the porch and flew outside, "AND I WILL KNOW IF YOU READ IT!" He shouted causing Surprise to recoil back into the chair she was in. _____*above Ponyville four minutes later*_____ Storm flew upside down at high speed above the town, he laughed as he heard surprised gasps from below. "I love this scanning eye." He said to himself. Through his scanning eyes Storm could see the reactions of every citizen below him, but he paid to much attention to the world below him that he rammed into someone. Storm soon found himself spinning from that hit, he growled and looked up to see a brown Pegasus stallion. "Watch it you dumb kid!" He said as he flew off. Hearing those words sparked something inside of Storm, small black flames burst from his body and Storm charged off after the stallion, he soon found him landing in front of the town hall, he charged down and rammed him. Storm preformed a series of hits and drew Demise for the first time in years, he held it at the stallions throat. "Watch it bub, next time that happens you wont live." He said darkly, he picked the stallion up and threw him into the town hall. "Now that that's settled." He said cheerfully. He started to walk off to the library and started singing his song. "Here I am, home again, so lets find the welcome wagon, don't struggle because you are my new toy, lets see how well you fight when I'm done with you." He sang softly. _____*deep inside Storm's mind*_____ "Hmm, I picked my new host well it would seem, but I must wait until the right moment, when he reaches the element of magic I will come out." Vengeance said to himself. Vengeance looked around. "Its rather dull in here isn't it?" He asked himself. _____*Golden Oaks library four minutes later*_____ Twilight was reading the book. Elements of harmony, a reference guide. For research purposes. Currently she was on the element of magic, she would have noticed it back when Nightmare moon appeared to make an eternal night, but they had a limited time to do so, she turned the pages and sighed in disappointment, the last page merely said. Read part two the elements of, for more information. Twilight raised an eyebrow at this. "Why is this part smudged?" She asked herself. For some reason the word was smudged out, she was confused about this. A knock came at the door. "Come in." She said. The door opened and Storm walked in. "Hey Twilight." Storm said. Twilight managed a smile. "Hey Storm, what are you looking for?" She asked. Storm looked at the mystery section. "How about you tell me what that part two stuff is." He replied. Twilight set the book she had on the table. "What part two?" She asked. Storm sighed. "Don't play dumb, you know what I'll just look myself." He replied walking to the Elements of harmony book. Twilight let him pass, she turned around as Storm opened the book and flipped to the last page. "What are the Elements of chaos?" He asked. Storm looked at Twilight who had a stunned look on her face. "How can you read that?" She asked as she frantically looked at the smudge. "It's the language of the Artic on there, so, what are the Elements of chaos?" He asked again. Twilight sighed. "I don't know, but whatever they are I'm guessing its not Discord, I'm sure that he is still stone after what me and the girls did to him." She replied. Storm gave Twilight an evil glare but sighed. "Whatever you do, don't mention this to the sunbutt." He ordered as he walked over to the door to leave the library. Twilight smiled. "Don't worry, if these Elements of chaos do pose a threat I can get the girls and use the elements of harmony on them." She said reassuringly. Storm chuckled. "Your the Element of magic right?" He asked. Twilight sighed, "Storm, you know I am." She replied. Storm's face went serious. "Of course that damn sunbutt would keep those damnable Elements together." He said darkly. Twilight backed up and charged her horn. "I think you should leave." She said. Storm chuckled darkly. "The Element of magic, of course, she would make that one a mindless puppet." He said before leaving the library. "See you soon." Storm said as he left the library. Storm shook his head while he walked away from the library. "What just happened?" He asked himself. Meanwhile deep within Storm's mind a dark laughing came from Vengeance. "You and me are going to be a fun combo kid." Vengeance said as he continued laughing.
