//------------------------------// // When in doubt, throw the prick out! // Story: Prototype: Equestria & The Rise of Pariah // by The Joeker //------------------------------// As I woke myself up I got out of bed and headed to the door, I opened it up to find two guards, whether to contain me or guard me, I had no idea, but I knew I didn't need either of those. I headed won the corridor and pushed the door to the throne room open. "...and furthermore, I will not tolerate peasants in the Upper City!" came a voice. "And since when do you own the Upper City?" asked the obvious calm voice of Celestia. "Time to work the magic..." I said and turned into my pony form. "AH! Celly! my old friend!" I exclaimed and winked at her, signifying I had a plan. "Hello Pariah! it is so good to see you again." she exclaimed and I hugged her and whispered. "Let me handle this." "I am just in the middle of court, would you like to sit this one?" asked Celestia. "Why not? scooch over." I said and sat next to her. "Go ahead." nodded Celestia. "Currently, my businesses are not doing well-" he cut off as I yawned. "Sorry." I said and he continued. "Because poor ponies keep coming in, I want the Upper City to be inaccessible to the Lower City ponies." said the stallion. "I know what you can do." I said and went over to him and draped a hoof over his neck. "What?" he asked as we walked to the door. "Well, you can sort... YOUR OWN FUCKING PROBLEMS OUT!!!" I yelled and booted his arse, sending him down the courtyard steps. "Well I neve-" he cut off as I said: "Come back when you've got REAL issues, anypony else got anything not worth your Princesses time?!" I asked and some ponies backed off while some stayed. "Take a hike bozos." I said and slammed the castle door. I saw the guards grimacing in an attempt to hold in laughs. "Permission to laugh boys." I said as I walked past and they fell over in fits. I saw Celestia chuckling with a hoof on her mouth. "That was amazing." she laughed. "When in doubt throw the prick out!" I exclaimed. "Come... we- we must... we must talk." said Celestia between laughs. "Sure." I said and we walked through the castle corridors. "I have found a way to get you home, I can open a portal, I will give you a crystal that allows you to come back at any time you want, it is personal to you and only you can use it." said Celestia as we entered an empty room. "Thanks, I will leave in three days, I want to properly say goodbye to the girls first." I said. "Of course." smiled Celestia. "I will take my leave for now, and hop on the train back to Ponyville." I said. "Thank you for visiting Pariah, it has opened my eyes." said Celestia and we shook hands/hoofs as I switched back to human form and then back to pony after the shake, I kissed her hoof. "It has been my pleasure your majesty." I said as she blushed. "Farewell Pariah." she said as I left for the train station again. "This was a productive day." I nodded to myself as I walked the streets. "You there!" came a high pitched shriek, I turned to see the noble I kicked out with some rough looking thugs, and I was in an alleyway... "Ok lads, I can see this going four ways, 1. you beat me up, 2. you beat me up and other... things... 3. I beat you up, and 4. I do much worse." I said. "Get him!" exclaimed the noble, as they charged, I dodged to of them and extended tendrils from my left side which dug into and consumed a thug. The other two freaked and charged me again, I consumed them both at the same time. I turned to the noble with a dangerous look in my eyes, he tried to run but I grabbed him with a whipfist in place of a wing an threw im in the air and sliced him in half, consuming him also. "A very delicious, productive day." I smiled as I walked from the ally to the station. I boarded a train to Ponyville and slipped into memories again, escaping the boring journey. I got off the train and headed for Golden Oaks library, suddenly Pinkie was in front of me. "Hello Pinkie." I said. "You remembered!" she beamed. "Err, of course... you are truly an unforgettable pony." I smiled and we headed to the library. "That's great!" exclaimed Pinkie as we entered the tree house. "Hey Big P!" exclaimed Spike. "Hey Spike, Twilight." I nodded to the unicorn as she came down the stairs. "Pariah! you haven't gone? I thought we found a way to send you home?" asked Twilight. "You did, I came here to say my farewells." I said. "The girls will be happy to know that, they're actually in the kitchen." said Twilight, I walked in and saw the 4 mares at a table having dinner. "Ah! darling! Twilight told us you've gone!" exclaimed Rarity. "Not yet, I'm here to say goodbye first." I smiled. "So, you're finally leavin' us huh?" asked RD. "Hey, don't be like that." I said. "It's fine, at least I don't have to worry about you upstaging me." she said. "I'll miss you to Rainbow Dash." I rolled my eyes. "Well pardner, looks like the buck stops here." said AJ. "Yep, good to know you." I said. "Darling, I do hope you are ok when you get home." said Rarity. "I will be." I said. "Goodbye, I hope you are ok when you get home." smiled Fluttershy. "It's been a pleasure to know you and Angel Fluttershy." I said. "Bye again!" exclaimed Pinkie. "See you Pinkie." I smiled. "Goodbye Pariah, it has been a pleasure having you stay here." smiled Twilight and hugged me. "It's been a pleasure to stay." I replied and moved on to Spike. "Well Spike, goodbye." I said. "See ya." he said and we shook again. -2 hours later- I arrived in Canterlot again and saw Celestia waiting for me. "Come, it is time." she said. "Ok..." "Here is a stone I created for you, it will grant you, and only you, access to our world whenever." said Celestia. "Very well, I will leave now, give Twilight, Spike and the rest of the girls my regards, and tell your sister about Earth's moon, tell the girls I'll visit." I said. "Farewell for now Pariah." smiled Celestia and cast a spell, suddenly Celestia's magic glow turned red and she looked up at her horn in shock. "What...? Pari-!" she started before I disappeared. I bolted up i shock... where was I...? I was among bodies, dead pony bodies... where the hell...? I got up shakily, realising I was in my pony form, probably a good thing. I saw different bodies in places, half pony, half dragon, half... every damn creature ever... there was lore surrounding this... "Draconequus." I said, remembering from that pony I consumed. I walked forward, recovering from whatever happened quickly. I looked ahead to see...
