//------------------------------// // ... It's alright 'cause I'm with friends... // Story: The Ponies, The Heart, and The Guardian Poltergeist... // by TheDisplacerOfEquestrias //------------------------------// The three looked at me and I looked back at them, before I say, making them flinch a bit from my voice, "Are... are you three alright?", as I drag myself out of my "prison", with Arthur staying behind to not scare them, as Mystery did the same, leaving only me and the Dead Beats to get out, as the Dead Beats look at the three, worried... "Y-yeah... W-who are-e y-you?" The horned one asked, Sweetie Belle, if I remember correctly, scared... "My name is Lewis Pepper... former Human, now... Poltergeist... I mean you three no harm." I say, as the Dead Beats then go over to the them and check to see if they're alright... "Ok-k... M-my name is Sc-cootaloo. My friends are Sweetie Belle-" The winged one, Scootaloo, said, worried, as well, as she pointed to Sweetie Belle, before she then pointed to Apple Bloom and said "- and Apple Bloom..."... "Nice to meet you three... but, what species are you three?" I say, making them immediately snap out of their scared/worried state and go into a confused state... "We're Ponies... Y'all don't know what a Pony is?" Apple Bloom asked, raising an eyebrow... I shake my head and say "N-no... I woke up a couple days ago with no memory of who I was... it was only until the day after that that I found out my name, my species, and my... abilities.", before I then hold my hand out and I project a ball of pink fire from my hand, but it didn't burn anything, as I was controlling it's temperature, making the three ponies gasp in awe... I then cancel it and I ask "Before we get off track, what's going on around here? In my prison, which is the yellow heart you, Apple Bloom, picked up, I heard you three going on about this thing called... Discord, was it?", making the three quiver in fear... "D-Discord is the G-God of Ch-haos and Dis-sharmony. He was sealed in stone for 1,000 years due to The Elements of Harmony: Laughter, Kindness, Loyalty, Generosity, Honesty, and finally, Magic... B-But..." Sweetie Belle began to explain, before she began quivering a bit... "But? But what?" I asked, curious... "... Discord stole and hid the Elements, making it almost impossible for the Bearers of the Elements to seal Discord back in stone. Then, after an hour or two, he appeared in the Center of Town and made a throne, saying that he was now in complete control of Equestria, and that Chaos would reign supreme... Forever." Scootaloo continued, breaking down into tears at the end... When I heard that, I let out an angry, vengeful growl, gaining their attention, along with the Dead Beats, before I looked at the Dead Beats and said, my voice deeper and sounding like I was going to kill someone, "Dead Beats, get Mystery. We're saving this town.", before they smiled, now looking a bit evil, before they zipped into the Heart and Mystery came out, wearing his collar and his yellow glasses... "Mystery, you and I are going to teach this Discord a lesson..." I say, before I then say to the Dead Beats in the Heart "And Dead Beats, make sure no harm comes to these three, alright?", before I heard a chorus of "Sir, yes, sir!~", making me smile on the inside, before I then grab onto Mystery and I fly out of their treehouse's window, leaving a fiery pink trail behind me... "Um, Lewis?" Mystery asked, as he looked down towards the town... "Yeah, Mystery?" I replied, flying to the Center of the town... "I don't think the town is supposed to be like that." He said, making me look down towards the town, making me laugh at the state of it... There were Cotton Candy Clouds raining down chocolate milk, instead of normal white/light gray clouds with rain water, the entire land was checkered different shades of pink, there were BUFFALO TAP-DANCING, giant structures made out of cards, explosive glasses of chocolate milk, and other weird things going on in the town... Is this all that Discord can do? "This is just... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is just HILARIOUS!" I say, as I wipe off pink tears swelling up in my eyes from laughing, before I fly down near the Center of Town, unnoticed, before I then notice five mares and a little purple and green scaly creature with Jewelry around the scaly creature's and the five mares necks, except for the only non-grayed out mare (excluding the scaly creature), as she was purple, had a tattoo on her... flank... of a pink, four pointed star with multiple, little four pointed stars behind it, and she had hair that was different shades of purple/pink, as she also had a tail with the same shades of purple/pink, and, she was wearing a tiara/crown made of gold with a star-shaped gem on the tiara/crown... I then noticed the being in front of them, sitting on a throne... "That must be Discord..." I whispered to Mystery, as he was the same hybrid creature from before... I heard him laugh at their misfortune, saying that they had failed, before I growled and I said to Mystery "Stay here. When you see a pink fireball hit Discord, go Kitsune and attack Discord." He nodded and I then disappeared from my spot and reappeared behind Discord's throne, as he spoke, saying "Bravo, ponies, bravo!", before he began to clap, still speaking, "Harmony in Equestria is officially dead. Discord rules, Celestia drools." I let out a loud growl, making them all quiet down from it, all looking for the source... I smirk on the inside and chuckle at this, before I disappear and reappear above Discord's throne, standing right on top of it, making the mares and the scaly creature gasp when they saw me, before I raise a finger and put it to where my mouth would be, telling them to shush, as Discord remains clueless... I then create a fire ball in my hand and I throw it at Discord, lighting his head on fire, making him growl, but not before he jumped 3 feet into the air in fright, and I mean that LITERALLY, before he landed on the ground... "Who did that!?" He said, angered, before I floated down to him, landing behind him with an auditable thud, making him freeze up and look behind himself slowly... I grinned on the inside when he saw me, before I leaned down to his face and said "Boo."... ... the result was Discord screaming and running away in fear... I laughed at this and said "That's What you get when you mess with the Ponies, Fear-cord!", but, I then noticed he was gone, only to then catch an explosive glass of chocolate milk that was being thrown from behind me, seeing Discord standing there with a shit-eating grin, holding an explosive glass of chocolate milk in each hand... "No one is going to disrupt MY chaos! Especially a freak like you!" He said, before he threw multiple explosive glasses of milk at me, but, before they could hit, I ignited them with my fire, before Mystery appeared in his Kitsune form and began to attack Discord by biting Discord's left hand, making Discord let out a pained howl in anger, as he began to try to swat Mystery off with a rolled up Newspaper, failing miserably... I then growl and say "Says the one that looks like a fucked-up mish-mash of creatures!", before I flew up and I then punched Discord in the face using my flaming hand, leaving a burning mark where I punched him... He recoiled at this and I then say to Mystery "Mystery, hold off Discord for me.", as he nods and then proceeds to keep Discord at bay... I then go over to the mares and I put my hands to the four grayed out mares, one was a winged pony, two were normal ponies, and one was a horned pony, but, they eventually went back to their original states, before I look towards the purple pony and asked "Excuse me, but, is your name, by any chance, Twilight?"... "Y-yeah... who are you?" She asked... I stood up and said, proud and brave, "My name... is Lewis Pepper, Human turned Poltergeist... and now the enemy of Discord. I'm doing this on behalf of my saviors: Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo." Those names got something out of her and she said "Wait, THEY sent you!?"... "No... Apple Bloom and her friends got me out of my "prison", so, I'm helping to get rid of this self-proclaimed God of Chaos, Discord." I say, correcting her... "Ok... but, we have a problem." She said. "I'm guessing your missing a member of your group, correct?" I guess, making her nod... "That's correct, darling... we're missing Rainbow Dash. She's the last one we need to seal Discord back in stone." The white horned pony asked, who I guessed was... Generosity? Maybe she's Kindness... I chuckled and said "Well, let's go get her. Mystery should be able to hold off Discord for a while... he is a 700 year old Kitsune, after all."... "700!?" The pink pony said, scarring me as she was now on top if my head, unharmed by my flaming hair... "How In the hell-!?" I say, startled by this, before the orange pony tackled the pink pony to the ground and dragged her back over to the group... "Sorry. Pinkie can be a bit... random." Twilight said, sheepishly... I just starred at this, confused as all hell, before I shake myself out of my stupor and say "Ok, so, I'm guessing the winged pony-" "- Pegasus." Twilight said, correcting me... "... I've been trapped in a yellow heart shaped locket for the past 5 or 6 days and I don't know what your species is. I only learned about my own name, species, and abilities the day AFTER I awoke in this weird world, so you can teach me each category your species goes in later, when there isn't a fucked up hybrid of Chaos attacking." I say, crossing my arms... "Heh, sorry... force of habit." She says, making me roll my eyes... "... Anyway... considering that the rest of you don't have wings, I'm guessing the Pegasus is the only one who can fly, right?" I ask, gaining nods from each of them, before I add "Well, Rainbow Dash is also a Pegasus, correct?", another nod, "Good. Now, HOW are we going to get her?", making them all pause... "Hot Air Balloon?" The pink one, Pinkie, suggested... "That'll do. Now, the Pegasus... Erm... what is your name, miss?" I say, before looking towards the shy Pegasus, hiding underneath her long, pink mane... "Oh, um... m-my nam-me is...Flu-uttershy..." She says, before whispering her name, but, I was able to hear it clearly... "It's an honor to meet you, Miss Fluttershy." I say, kindly, bowing to her, showing enough kindness to her to get her to soften up to me... "Um, girls? We still have to get Rainbow." Twilight says, reminding us of the situation at hand... "Yes, indeed. Now, let's go, shall we?" I say, as I float off the ground and look for a hot air balloon, before I find one and I then float back down, heading in the direction of the hot air balloon, with the group following me... We then reach the hot air balloon and I allow them all to get on board, but, Twilight hooked Fluttershy up to the hot air balloon, having Fluttershy fly them up towards Rainbow... I raise metaphorical eyebrow at this and ask "How come you're letting her fly it?"... Twilight answered and said "She's the only one who can fly us to Rainbow... that, and Fluttershy has been friends with Rainbow since Flight School." "Ah, I see... what does Fluttershy do for a living?" I ask... "She's an animal caretaker, dear. She protects animals under her care no matter what, and the animals will do the same to protect her... it's amazing, darling!" Rarity says... I then think of something and I ask "What if one of you were harmed? Would she do the same thing to protect you the same way as she would protect her animals?" They all nodded, before I went up to Fluttershy and asked "Excuse me, Miss Fluttershy, but, is it true that your an animal caretaker?" "Oh, yes... I've been a caretaker since I got my Cutie Mark..." She replied happily... "Ah, well, your friends told me that you would also protect them if they were harmed just like you would protect YOUR animals... However, your friend Rainbow Dash is still under Discord's influence, so, doesn't that mean Discord's harmed one of your friends?" I ask, as she begins to process it... Suddenly, a click is heard, before a fire ignites in her eyes, making her fly faster than ever, much to my and the group's surprise... "W-WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Twilight yelled over the winds and speed... "ASK HER LATER, TWILIGHT!" I say, holding on for dear life... Soon enough, she stopped, as we reached Rainbow Dash, who was laying on a cloud... We woke her up, she argued with us about saving Ponyville (HA!), and she then bolted. Soon after, Fluttershy flew after her, as I flew between Rainbow and Fluttershy, faster than Fluttershy, but not as fast as Rainbow... I growled at this and I then began to sped up, before I grabbed onto Rainbow's back leg, as she was tied by her waist thanks to Applejack's, the orange pony's, lasso, and I then pulled, making her stop immediately as I held her in place... She struggled to be freed and I then began to drag her down, with the group following suit... We then had her tied in place, keeping her down, before me and Twilight touched her head, with my hand to her head and Twilight's horn to her head, we then reversed Discord's control over Rainbow... Soon enough, she realized what was happening and asked to be let go... "Here, let me." I say, before I then grab the ropes and I ignite them, burning them away, but Rainbow wasn't burned in the slightest... "Woah..." She said, in awe... I gave her a smug expression and said, prideful and smugly, "What? Don't have Pyrokinesis?", as I then laugh at her expression... I then began to calm down and said "Anyway, come on. Let's seal that Bastard Chaos God where he belongs: in Stone." They nodded and we headed to the town, only to see Discord flying through the sky with Mystery, still in Kitsune form, going after him... ... I just starred at this, as the others deadpanned at this...
