Intro:
You look into the faces of the Deadly 6, all with different expressions. Twilight looks depressed, probably thinking that her recent actions have caused you to feel bad enough to end it. Rainbow Dash and Applejack look ashamed. Pinkie's main and tail are strait and darker usual. Rarity looks confused and disappointed in you. And Fluttershy (who you made sure to look at last because you guess by the others' expressions that hers would break you buggy heart) looks like a combination of devastated sadness and for some reason anger, the second expression you weren't expecting.
As you find yourself standing before the Deadly 6 on board the train to Fillydelphia, you can't help but notice that all have different expressions. Twilight has her eyepatch and looks depressed, Rainbow Dash and Applejack look ashamed, Pinkie's mane and tail look straighter and darker than usual, Fluttershy seems to have a combination of devastated sadness and anger, and Rarity looks disappointed with... a messy orange mane?
Aw, that ridiculous orange mane just kills the mood for me...
Before you can do anything, another flash of purple light gives the Deadly 6 instruments and they begin to play... Horribly.
When the song ends, you are left stunned with only one question,
"What... the buck... was that?"
"The worst audio abomination I've ever heard," shouts a nearby mare passenger.
"I'd rather walk through the thunder floor of the weather factory with no ear protection than listen to that again!" a pegasus stallion complains as he rubs one of his ears. "And I went half deaf the last time I did that!"
The instruments disappear in another flash of light, and Twilight throws her hooves around your neck in a hug,
"We heard what you're going to do! Please, Mr. Tennant, you can't! You still have so much friendship and magic to look forward to!"
You can only blink in confusion and say,
"What the buck are you-?"
I told you you were talking out loud.
Oh buck...
Fluttershy is near tears as she says,
Before you can do anything, another flash of purple light gives the Deadly 6 instruments and they begin to play. Horribly, because, you know, hooves.
When the song ends, you are left with only one question.
"What... the buck... was that?"
"The worst audio abomination I've ever heard," shouts a mare.
"I'd rather walk through the thunder floor of the weather factory with no ear protection than listen to that again!" A pegasus stallion rubs one of his ears. "And I went half deaf the last time I did that!"The instruments disappear in another flash of light, and Twilight throws her hooves around your neck in a hug. "We heard what you're going to do! Please, Mr. Tennant, you can't! You still have so much friendship and magic to look forward to!"
You blink. "What are you-?"
I told you you were talking out loud.
Oh buck...
Fluttershy is near tears. "What about Nightshade? You... you were just going to leave her?"
"I wasn't-"
Applejack slaps you with her hat. "I thought you were more of a stallion than that!"
"But-"
Pinkie shrieks, "YOU WON'T HAVE ANYMORE BIRTHDAYS! AND, AND, THAT MEANS NO BIRTHDAY PARTIES!"
"My poor ear," the stallion mutters.
You clear your throat. "I think we all need to calm down-"
"Yes, you do!" Rarity says. She summons her fainting couch... somehow... and pushes you onto it. "Now tell us, darling. What could drive you to consider such an act?"
"I... I just need to get to Filly-"
"Buck yeah, you do!" Rainbow Dash pounds your shoulder. "And we're going with you! Hospital bunk buddies stick together."
"You don't have to-"
Pinkie crosses her forelegs and hmphs. "He's still not getting it. Bring 'em back, Twilight! He needs another song!"
"NO!" shout the mare, stallion, and Selena at the same time.
"Please," the stallion begs, "be a friend. Don't make me listen to that again."
"No more!" The mare is rocking back and forth, cradling her head in her hooves. "No more!"
I somehow find their presence and sound of their voices more tolerable than those few minutes of agony they inflicted upon us.
But-
If I so mush as see a guitar near the prismatic fool again, I will control your body, burrow underground, and Falcon Punch the center of the Earth. I swear it. Either they follow us, or the world is doomed to destruction by a fiery explosion the likes of which has never been seen before and will never be seen again. Your choice.
You think long and hard. Fire is pretty...
For the love of... ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL. She takes control of your body and forces you to say, "Fine," before switching back. There. Was that so hard?
"What do you mean you're going to make sure that nopony will have to deal with you anymore?! You can't kill yourself! You have a daughter to look after mister!"
At this point, Fluttershy breaks down and leans into Rarity as Pinkie says through sniffles,
"Have we really been that *hic* bad that you want to do this? You could have just said something. It doesn't have to be like this..."
"I wasn't-*smack*"
Applejack interrupts you with a slap from her hat before putting in her tow cents,
"I thought you were more of a stallion than that!"
"But-"
"YOU WON'T HAVE ANYMORE BIRTHDAYS! AND, AND, THAT MEANS NO BIRTHDAY PARTIES!" Pinkie shrieks.
"My poor ear," the stallion passenger mutters.
You clear your throat and try to calm them down,
"I think we all need to calm down-"
"Yes, you do!" Rarity says as she summons her fainting couch (somehow...) and pushes you onto it.
"Now tell us, darling. What could drive you to consider such an act?"
You get off the couch and defensively say,
"What act? I... I just need to get to Filly-"
"Buck yeah, you do!" Rainbow Dash pounds your shoulder. "And we're going with you! Hospital bunk buddies stick together!"
"You don't have to-"
Pinkie crosses her forelegs and hmphs,
"He's still not getting it. Bring 'em back, Twilight! He needs another song!"
"NO!" screams the passengers and Selena at the same time.
"Please," the stallion begs, "Be a pal! Don't make me listen to that again!"
"No more!" The mare is rocking back and forth, cradling her head in her hooves, "No more!"
I somehow find their presence and sound of their voices more tolerable than those few minutes of agony they inflicted upon us. Selena agrees
But-
If I so mush as SEE a guitar near the prismatic fool again, I swear I will control your body, burrow underground, and Falcon Punch the center of the Earth. Either they follow us, or the world is doomed to destruction by a fiery explosion the likes of which has never been seen before and will never be seen again. Your choice.
You think long and hard before coming up with a carefully thought-out thought,
Fire is pretty...
For the love of... Selena comments in annoyance, ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.
Selena takes control of your body and forces you to say,
"Fine," before switching back.
There. Was that so hard?
The mare and stallion sigh in relief before they go back to do... whatever it is they were doing. You stare in shock at what Selena just did, earning confused looks from the others before you think angrily at Selena,
Thanks alot! Now they're gonna come with us to Fillydelphia. You know, the place where I'm going to HAVE to be the Offender (the persona they hate with a passion) to stop the revolution!
It was either that or listen to their awful ear-splitting music again! Now make up an excuse to make them leave or I'll replay their music in your head!
You'll be stuck listening to it too!
I know, but since you won't allow me to paint the train in 12 fresh coats of their blood, you leave me no choice. Now make an excuse!
Okay okay sheesh...
What you don't know, is that while you were talking with Selena...
Rainbow gets in your face as you are just flabbergasted by everything.
“Oh no, he’s gone into shock, I’ll give him mouth to mouth and make it better.”
She leans in but is yanked back by AJ
“Oh no you don’t Missy!”
“Oh you did not just yank my mane!”
“Girls, cut it out, now’s not the time for that!” Yells Twilight.
Both AJ and Rainbow stop fighting and mutter apologies.
“Mr. Tennant, please, you can’t give into you angst, please don’t kill yourself, that’s what the Death Note wants you to do!” Twilight pleads.
“Wait What?” you ask confused as all tartarus
“The Hooded Offender put your name down in the Death Note, its influence must be affecting you!”
You look at her in utter bemusement, “The Death Note is an anime! And if my name was written down in it, wouldn’t I be dead already?”
“Well…” she stammers, “maybe the real life one acts differently?”
“Oh come on, you can’t possible believe…”
And you are interrupted again as they all tell you to not end it.
“Oh no, he’s gone into shock, I’ll give him mouth to mouth and make it better.”
Rainbow Dash says as she leans in but is yanked back by Applejack,
“Oh no ya don’t Missy!”
“Oh you did not just yank my mane!” Rainbow Dash declares.
"Um... Actual mouth-to-mouth only works when he's lying down and I have done it to Hood- I mean Mr. Tennant befor-" Fluttershy says.
“Girls, cut it out! Now’s not the time for that!” Twilight yells as she gets between the mares, causing both Applejack and Rainbow Dash to stop fighting and mutter apologies.
“Mr. Tennant, please, you can’t give into you angst, please don’t kill yourself, that’s what the Death Notebook wants you to do!” Twilight pleads.
“Wait, Death What-book?” you ask in confusion.
“The Hooded Offender put your name down in the Death Note, its influence must be affecting you!”
You look at her in utter bemusement,
“The Death Notebook is an anime! And if my name was written down in it, wouldn't I be dead already?”
“Well…” she stammers, “maybe the real life one acts differently?”
“Oh come on, you can’t possible believe…”
"Don't do it man! It's not worth it man. It ain't worth it!" Rainbow Dash says,
"Ya'll can't go through with it, I need ya!" Applejack says causing everypony to look awkwardly at Applejack who quickly adds,
"On the farm! I... need you on the farm is what I meant to say! hehehehe."
"You can't die! Not until you change into something more fashionable!" Rarity says,
More stares, but these one's are leaning towards angry stares and you can relate as this situation is starting to get real annoying...
Mess with the Deadly 6 by threatening to jump out the window.
"Oh look, the train's going over a bridge over a canyon." you say in a deadpan tone as you walk over to the window, "I wonder if a fall from this height would be enough to kill me..." you continue as you open the window...
"NO, DON'T!"
"NOOOOOOO!"
"STOP! DON'T!"
"OH I CAN'T WATCH!" *faint*
"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" *slams window shut with magic*
*On her knees* NOOOOOOOOO!
Suddenly you find yourself grabbed away from the window by Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Fluttershy.
"What? Can't you guys recognize a joke?" you say in a carefree tone.
"THIS ISN"T FUNNY!" the mares all declare as Twilight adds...
Twilight: We overheard you saying that you were going to end it. That Baker Sylvester Tennant will be no more. So this is an intervention. We are going to help you see that you don't have to end this.
As you hear this, you begin to realize that they must have overheard you having that conversation with Selena. You can only think Oh Buck me.
"We overheard you saying that you were going to end it. That Baker Sylvester Tennant will be no more. So this is an intervention. We are going to help you see that you don't have to end this!"
“The Buck You Talking About?! I’m not going to do that! I have no plans to do that!” you blurt out.
Oh Really? I seem to recall you and me entering into a suicide pact not too long ago. Selena mentally says, sounding upset.
Well, aside from that… but hey, you’re getting better... right?
As much as I can with that threat looming over our heads I suppose…
Well, you know, desperate times and all… look I know that you- you try to comfort before being interrupted.
The Prism-haired one is trying to lock lips again.
“Gyagh!” you say as you snap out of it and duck away in time
“Dang it,” you hear Dash whisper.
“You spaced out again there sugarcube” Applejack adds as she glares at Rainbow Dash.
“Sorry, but ya, I’m not gonna commit suicide. Remind me again what makes you think I would?” you bluntly say,
“We heard you! You said that Baker Sylvester Tennant would be no more, and that you would end it…” Fluttershy says with tears in her eyes.
“Th-that was taken out of context, I mean what reason would I have to…”
“We heard you say you thought you were causing us harm for some reason, but we’re fine see,” Twilight says while putting on a fake smile.
“Yes please, think of your Daughter sir, all the times you fought to protect her, don’t let it all be in vain!” Rarity laments.
“Yeah, if you conk out, she’ll be sadder than sad, like I was when Granny Pie died,” Pinkie says in a sad voice.
“But I’m not gonna leave her! I’m not doing myself in!” you shout.
“But Fluttershy and I found these notes you left telling us to look after her,” Applejack holds up note, “ and you never leave her behind…”
“And you were arguing with yourself about why it’s a good thing for you to go-”
“OK OK, I know it looks bad… but I have an explanation!” you proclaim in exasperation.
“Yes!” they all ask at once.
“Ummm… Yeah, you see, my explanation is…”
They stare at you waiting for something, anything...
You have to come up with a good lie to get them off your back and fast, but what other reason could you have for ending an Identity? You were just gonna stop being B.S.T., because it was just a name…
*DING*
“You see…" you quickly look both ways for effect before whispering, "B.S.T. isn't my real name…”
Everyone gasps at this.
What are you doing you fool? Do you wish to expose thyself now? Selena chides.
Trust me on this… you think. You even see Fluttershy looking worried, but you give her a wink.
“What do you mean you’re not B.S.? Who else would you be?” asks a confused Pinkie.
“Someone else… I... was told to come to Ponyville and live there for at least a year by someone with a lot of power...”
“Why?” asks Dash.
“I got in trouble with some very mean, very powerful ponies that wanted to harm me and my daughter, so I went into hiding, and others helped me.”
“Are…Are you in witness protection?” asks Twilight piecing together what you've said.
“Something like that…I can’t say too much…”
I really can’t... you mentally add
“B-but then who are you? Really?” asks Applejack.
“I can’t tell you what my real name is…for my daughter's protection, but the B.S.T. you know is how I normally act so I’m not a complete stranger,” you say as you smile at her.
“OK, then why were you talking to yourself tonight?” Pinkie asks.
“I… um… talk to myself sometimes to get my thoughts organized and “pretend” that Nightshade’s mother answers back… it helps comfort me...”
They all look at you in sympathy
Tis what I am here for my friend.
“So wait...” Twilight says, "when you said that B.S.T. would be no more… does that mean you were going to change your Identity again?”
“Yeaaahhh… I kind of thought my very presence was causing too much trouble,” you look at AJ and Dash, “and drawing way too much attention to myself. I thought I’d be found out.”
Wow, you can't believe all you've said has not been a lie.
“But… that would mean you’d be moving on?” Applejack asks sounding downtrodden.
“Well… yeah-” you answer, bu then get an explosion of pleading,
“Please don’t leave, you and I haven’t finished all the Daring Do books together!” Dash says before she pulls you in and whispers, “Or gotten past first base” which causes you to blush.
“You've been a big help to me and the farm, I don’t want you gone, you’re like family,” Applejack pleads.
Dear Luna, that mare has no idea.
“Your daughter has so many friends in Ponyville, including my little sister, please don’t leave! You've done nothing to harm us.” Rarity pleads.
“Well, I kind of did make you two fight didn't I?” you say as you point to Dash and Applejack.
“Don’t worry Sugarcube we fight all the time! NO Biggie!” Applejack says as she looks around shiftily.
“Ya, come on man, we’re cool, everything’s cool!” Dash adds in shakily as she throws an arm around Applejack.
You can tell they are both still upset with each other, but you let it slide.
“OK, I won’t leave Ponyville, you happy?”
Pinkie cheers as they all glomp you in a hug.
“You’re secret is safe with us,” Fluttershy says as she gives you a knowing wink.
“And look, I appreciate the concern, but I’d rather not have you guys following me to Fillydelphia OK?”
“But we have to help you out, you are still a friend in need!” Twilight says. “Actually… that’s another thing, why are you going to Fillydelphia?”
“Umm… you know, family issues...” You say as now you really do have to lie.
“But I thought you said you didn't have no more family aside from your daughter and missing Grandpappy?” Applejack points out.
“That’s… partially true… I do have an extended family,” you say this as you look directly at her, “and there’s a problem in Filly that will affect them. I have to go in secret you know?”
“OH, but I’m sure we can help you in some way,” Twilight pleads.
“Not really, doesn't Ponyville need you more? Like stopping the disaster?”
Her eye widens (the other is still under the eyepatch),
“Oh my goodness, you’re totally right!”
You turn to the other 5 and say,
“And besides, if you all came with me, who would help her and also watch over Nightshade…”
“Ya, I guess you’re right…we just didn't want you hurting yourself or nothing so we all kind o panicked,” Applejack confesses, “Heck, I don’t even think we brought any luggage or tickets.”
“And you guys left Spike too” you add.
Twilight gets a sad look on her face at his name causing you think sympathetically think,
I really hope they can make up and-
"I must have worried him sick running out in a rant..."
Running out in a rant? I thought she was crashing- Oh yeah... the Luna Plushie...
Snapping out of your thoughts, you say,
“Look, I'm fine, just go on home and I’ll be back in a few days OK?”
"But Twilight, what about that Death Notebook? The hooded offender know our names, it's not dangerous?" Ask RD
"That was not the true death notebook" Say Twilight
"Of course, if it was the correct notebook we could find more apples that have been eat mysteriously, also, the normal is that Twilight have the correct Death Notebook and she give some pages to somepony, and the hooded offender could not be the second Kira because it could be very obvious" Say Pinkie Pie
The rest of the bearers of the Element look at Pinkie
"But Twilight, what about that Death Notebook? The Hooded Offender know our names and he can kinda spell so isn't that combo dangerous?" Rainbow Dash asks Twilight.
"That was not the true death notebook" Says Twilight
"Of course, if it was the correct notebook we would have found more apples that have been eaten mysteriously. Also, how it wold normally go is that Twilight would have the correct Death Notebook and she give some pages to somepony, and the hooded offender could not be the second Kira because it would be extremely obvious" Pinkie Pie says causing everypony to look at her weird.
Snapping out of it first, Rarity says,
"Twilight darling, I think you need to rest. You're starting to act... loopy again."
Twilight is about to start, but then she sighs,
"You're right. Come on girls, let's go home."
With that, the Deadly 6 disappear in a mass teleportation spell.
"That mare... is unbelievable hehehhe."
You chuckle slightly before you return to your seat and think to Selena,
Yeesh, that was nerve racking.
Tell me about it… I thought they had actually cracked you
Yeah… hey about earlier…
I am fine-
No you’re not… look, if this is about our pact.
I do not wish to speak about it right now! she angrily huffs.
OK OK, sorry… maybe later
Perhaps…
Yeah… so now that they’re gone, you said you think you know why Nightshade sleeps less now?
Yes… I believe that it is because her mental state and body have finally reached an intersection. Now her body will begin to age naturally.
Oookkkkaaayyy… you think in confusion, Mind breaking that down into stupider words for me?
Selena sighs then begins,
She will now age normally now that her mind has caught up with her body.
I'm still not quite getting it.
Her birth was far from traditional. She came into this world already in the body of a prepubescent foal. Her mind was more advanced than that of an infant would be, as she could speak and mark you as her father, but she was still a newborn. The long rests she took were a way for her mind to better connect with her body, and seeing as how it was already a few years older than her mind, she had to catch up on both sleep and energy.
So that explains her appetite as well?
In the beginning, that is what I believed, but now she just likes to eat. But yes, everytime she awoke, she would gain new knowledge from you and in the depths of her dreams, she would learn.
Whoa… so now that she's caught up she’s gonna be like a normal kid all the time?
You couldn't possibly have thought that parenting would be that easy could you?
I kind of did for awhile... you lament before sighing, So now we know the answer to that mystery, want to explain how you birthed her into that body in the first place, or how I’m her father?
It is, how you ponies say these days, a long story-
OH COME ON! You can’t leave me in the dark like that! Why not? you angrily shout in your mind.
Because we are on a train in public where anyone can overhear you… and what I have to say about a lot of things concerning our union and Nightshade's birth would cause you to make a scene…
Are you serious?!
Absolutely… In time I will tell you. When you and I are alone, away from prying ears, I will tell you everything… please don’t hate me when you finally learn the truth… she says in what you swear is fear and sorrow.
Alright then, you say dropping the subject, Get some rest, you and I are gonna need it, I just know we’re gonna be smashing things soon.
Sounds like fun Selena says... cheerfully?
Get a note from the Doctor
Suddenly, you hear what sounds like thiscoming from The Inventory. You look at it in confusion before you open The Inventory and take out...
The Doctor's Notebook?
It's glowing and vibrating. You look at in confusion before you open it to see that... Derpy has left you a message? You read the note and it says,
Bugze! Emergency!
This is Derpy.
Look you need to get to Fillydelphia and NOW!
I don't know why, but the Doctor doesn't want you to know this.
But you need know this!
Something really really bad is gonna happen.
Alot of ponies are gonna die.
And your going to get blamed for it if you don't do something.
I'm begging you, get to Fillydelphia before it's too late!
Good luck,
Derpy
You stare at the note in shock, and can't help but think in anger,
There are LIVES at stake and the Doctor still didn't want me to know about it?! Don't worry Derpy,I swear I'll stop them, and then I'll knock some sense into that twin-hearted alien!
Considering how it takes at least 24 hours to get to Appleloosa, it will take at least 2 days to reach the even farther Fillydelphia. You also haven't gotten any sleep since Friday (with the crashed Horde meeting on Midnight (wait a minute, if the meeting was on friday MIDNIGHT does that make it Saturday or Friday?) and and meeting with the mares just then) so fall asleep and wake up when you arrive in Fillydelphia on a... Sunday?
As you settle into your seat to sleep, your mind starts to wander,
Seeing as how a train from Ponyville to Appleloosa usually takes a day, Fillydelphia will have to be at least twice that according to most maps. Also, I haven't gotten any sleep since thursd- Wait, wouldn't that make it Thursday, Friday, or even Saturday night due to how midnight means going into tomorrow?
You just shake your head of the confusion and decide to sleep on it.
TWO DAYS LATER
*Tooooot*
For some reason, Fillydelphia is preparing for some sort of Holiday even though Nightmare Night was a week ago (enter "Black Friday" jokes here)... Huh?
You then think,
Why do I get the feeling I'm about to stumble into a Shane Block flick?
You're woken up by the conductor's whistle and you wake up and see... Fillydelphia half-covered in holiday decorations? You stare at all the decorations from out your window and you can't help but think,
Dang... I must've been REALLY tired. And why does it look like I stumbled into a Shane Block flick? Wasn't it already Nightmare Night just a week ago?
You yawn and say to yourself,
"You know what, I'm still tired from that wake up call so I better rest my eyes..."
You close your eyes and are about to nap, when you hear,
As you drift to sleep, you hear a conversation from outside your door.
“They were here, the Tyrants guard dogs. They were here with him…” one voice says
“Keep an eye on him, and send a letter to the leader…better safe than sorry.”
Two stallion voices,
“-two days ago, they were here."
"They?"
"The Tyrant's guard dogs. They were here with him…”
“Keep an eye on him while I deliver the message to leader… better safe than sorry.”
Your eyes shoot open as you see two beefy-looking stallions. One was walking away while the other is standing guard and looking in your general direction... You see your symbol on the backs of their leather jackets and after a few moments, you immediately putt two and two together. You glare at the stallions and think,
This could be useful...
Outro:
What do you do?
BUGZE, GO FOR THEIR GROINS!
I vote power glove.
(Also, from that Selena says, no matter what I could never hate her, weird huh? Yes I'm generally talking about NMM.)
I vote for power glove
I vote for power glove
---------
"I need to sleep a little more, It's like I did not rested in the train" You mutter
"You used too much energy, maybe is because of that" Say Selena in your head
"Ummm, now that I think, I have a question about your powers" Say mentally Bugzee as he try to find somewhere to sleep
"What questions?" Answer Selena
"Well... You have some of the powers of Luna, and because you live in my body, in the end I also have a little" Begin to mutter Bugzee
"Yes, and?" Ask Selena
"Can you and Nightshade dreamwalk?" Ask as if it's something normal
"Say... "WHAT?" Ask surprised Selena
"well... from what I know Luna can walk in the dreams of others and... You did not think about that before, right?" Mutter Bugzee in low voice without thinking he is talking normal and not mentally
"Eee... Of course I think about that" Answer Selena in your head without confidence
"yeah, yeah, of course" Bugzee roll his eyes
You don't want to think about that, as you are to sleepy, in the end you go to the first room cheap that you see, and got a room, after you pay 3 bits for it.
The room is full of dust and the bed it seems that is very old, but even so, you are too sleepy and want to sleep, so you lay in the bed and begin to sleep.
You then wake up in the middle of a great mass of water, with some strange version of the evil six and Spike that are singing like nothing, you see yourself and you see strange that you also have a strange form, like a mix between a changelling and those strange things
"Shoo-Beee-Dooo-Beeee-Doooo" Begin to sing the strange evil six and Spike
It's then that suddenly Luna appear from what seems a big hole
"Tennant, we have to talk with you about something..." Say Luna
Just then Nightshade appear in front of you as well from another hole
"Oh, Hi daddy" Say Nightshade
Luna look Nightshade with the mouth open
"How could thou enter in dreamscape?" Ask Luna
"Dreamscape? as in... Dreamwalk?" Ask Bugzee confused as Nightshade seems to be thinking
"Well... I was with the Crusaders, but wanted to see daddy, and before I know about that, I was here" Say Nightshade
Luna facehoof
"We need to tell you something, is very important" Shout Luna
"But, why did you not tell me before?" Ask Bugzee
"We tried, but your dreams are hard to find and enter, almost everytime I tried to enter in your dreams, I find myself in a strange dream of somepony dreaming is Nightmare Moon" Say Luna
And then, before you can say something you wake up in the dusty room, and you see a stallion with a maid uniform
--------------------
And yes... Bugzee dreamed of the mane six as seaponies
The Infinity Gauntlet, clearly.
-------------------------------------
Since your train has arrived in Fillydelphia, you decide to come out of the train.
But before you are allowed to enter Fillydelphia, you are stopped by those guard-like stallions and they ask:
"What is the (forgot the word for it, but the thing you say at horde meetings etc.)?"
After you have said it, they let you in.
After you wandered through some roads, you suddenly stumble and fall over.
You open your eyes, and see an invisibilty-plasmid,( never played the game(?), don't know what plasmid-kinds there are) so you pick it up.
Invisibility-Plasmid unlocked.
Max Duration: 3 Minutes
Recharging-time: 2 days
Suddenly you hear voices, since you want to try out your new plasmid, you say:
"Would you kindly hide me?"
And you were invisible, not a second too early.
A small stallion who seems to be the leader of the horde here went around the corner, talking with 2 of those horde-guards:
"It works, it works! Now it is just a matter of time, soon we will be able to take over Fillydelphia, and then we will take over the other horde-factions, and THEN we can take over Celestia! I would have never thought faking the Hooded Offender would get us so many ponies on our side! We have a real army! And the best thing is: The real Hooded Offender is dead, nobody will ever learn the truth!"
One of the guards chuckles and says: "Yeah, it was a pretty genius and foolproof plan. Now to my payment..."
"Oh, right. Your payment..." the small stallion tells the guard, right before ramming a knife into the stomach of him "I think you don't need it" Then he went laughing away with his last guard.
*zack*
Your plasmid had no energy anymore, so you rush to the guard who was left behind and get him to a hospital.
You have to clean some things up here, starting with a certain horde-leader...a certain evil hooded-offender-faking horde-leader.
5381319 I have to fix my eyes
I see your comment three times!
Do an Inventory check (which, in retrospect, you should have done that on the train).
You know what Hearth's Warming Eve the holiday is (you have seen Die Hoof and Lethal Armament hundreds of times), but seeing how it's mainly a pony holiday, changelings never really got into the holiday other than as an excuse to steal even more love and presents.
See a newspaper article about Princess Celestia declaring that Hearth's Warming Eve will officially come early this year (the gossip column claims that Princess Luna had so much fun at Nightmare Night that she begged Princess Celestia to make the next holiday (a.k.a. what is essentially her first Christmas in a millennium) come sooner).
Wander around Fillydelphia while being aware of the beefy Horde Stallion following you. You already have quite a bit of food to sustain you so you don't need to spend any money on-
"Oooooo, Fillydelphian cuisine platter for 4 bits!"
And you just spent four bits on a meal of Filly cheesesteak hoagie, potato candy, and a glass of soda water.
(41 Bits remaining)
NOTE: Soda was invented in Philadelphia

The Infinity Gauntlet! NOW!!!!!!!!!
Now that the mane 6 know he had a separate identity, later I really want there to be an uber dramatic scene complete with dark voices,
?:WHO ARE YOU?
B:You want to know, who I was?
*explosion and cloak is on B*
?:No... It can't be..?
B:Yes, I am...
*MORE EXPLOSIONS AND SILLOHETTE WITH GLOWING ORANGE EYES*
B: THE HOODED OFFENDER!
*MORE EXPLOSIONS*
(What is up with all these explosions?)
*in back ground a chair falls over and explodes, etc*
Also I again want there to be a chapter told from Selene's POV.
bugze should accidently find a secret room and play this song

...What?
Dare I ask how?
Watch and learn...
You walk up to the beefy stallion and shove him. Hard.
He turns around and glares at you. "What are you thinking?"
What are you thinking?!
You smirk at the stallion. "Your inferior clan is dead."
He blinks. "What?"
What?
"The Lin Kuei have triumphed! You will all now submit to our Cyber Initiative. And our party hats!"
He blinks again.
You step forward and glare into his eyes. "Soon, the whole world will feel the wrath of our robot party ninjas. You will dance screaming."
"What the buck are you on about?"
The buck are you on about?
"BANANA PHONE!" you scream and then storm away, leaving a bewildered henchstallion behind.
So... should I ask, or... do you even HAVE an explanation for that?
Someone already sent a message, right? Well, now he has something else to report. I'm a raving lunatic.
Yes, but what was the point of that display?
I just told you. Now he's going to report everything I said, and the guy who thinks I'm working with the Tyrant's Lap Dogs will look like an idiot for thinking that. And then...
You were ACTING?!
Of course I was! Did you really think that... you're mocking me.
And it only took you ten seconds this time. Well done!

Power Glove. Never had one myself, but yes. Power Glove.
Plan B! It's always Bugze's Plan B anyway...
5383085
it says THE INFINITY GAUNTLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5383017
Please don't do that, all it does it make it take longer to scroll down the comments, it's just spam
5383085 I believe he said "The Infinity Gauntlets" is the largest font size he could.
5383017
Please don't ever do that again. It's a waste of time, and it will just make things harder for DWC and Kersey to scroll down to everyone's comments.
You know that goon is just following you, if you can get him alone, you can do some interrogation, Batmane style…but that will be tough seeing as how there are ponies EVERYWHERE standing in lines waiting to buy things for 50% off and…WAIT!
IS THAT VIDEO STORE SELLING ENTIRE SERIALS AND FILMS FOR ONLY 2 BITS!?
You look in the window and see some great deals.
“Oh Sweet Luna! Attack on Titan, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Classic Doctor Who, New Who, The Evil Dead Trilogy, The Star Wars Collection, BATMANE THE ANIMATED SERIES, AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER!!!! ALL FOR 2 BITS!” you nerd out in ecstasy.
“I MUST HAVE IT ALL!!!” you yell as you grab all the movies, and stand behind about 50 other ponies.
“I believe we have more pressing matters at the moment, or did you forget that wall-eyed mare’s warning?” Selena reminds you.
“B-b-but…2 bits…my shows…awesomeness…” you pathetically say.
She sighs then continues, “So you’d rather have your…surprisingly entertaining stories than stop mass amounts of murder and mayhem?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“No…” you say dejectedly as you sigh.
Sure these are great deals, but you came to stop a disaster. If only you could have both.
But the stupid ponies at the front keep asking the sales stallion questions.
“I want both…” you whine.
“Then simply take the stories and move on” she advises.
“I can’t do that!” you exclaim.
“Why not?”
“Because it’s illegal.”
“Really? Who is going to be able to stop you if you do?”
“Not the point, stealing is wrong!”
“You’ve stolen before, don’t even pretend you don’t remember your brief reign over the Dogs.”
“That was…different…I’m not doing it now, seeing as how I have the bits…” you try to justify.
“You are such a hypocrite…also we do not have the time.”
“I know but…” you start but are interrupted by an argument ahead of you.
“Hey that’s my XBONE!” cries one stallion.
“I had my hooves on it first!” cries another.
They both are pulling back and forth on a gaming console that’s only 50 bits, until one slips and accidentally knocks a Mare’s collection down.
“Get your hooves off my things!” she cries and slaps the stallion, causing him to bump into another. This starts a chain reaction of bumping that causes a brawl to erupt in front of you.
“…Well that’s convenient,” you say as you walk up to the surprisingly calm cash register pony.
“You seem rather calm about this” you say to him.
“It’s Black Weekend, this happens all the time” he says unenthusiastically, “so will this be all for you?”
“Eyup”
He rings up you order as the mob continues to fight. He then puts all your reels in a bag and hands them to you.
“Also, here is your free copy of the entire Rocky film Collection,” he says as he hands you Rocky 1-6.
“Oh…OK…thanks?” you say hesitantly. You’ve only ever seen 1-4.
“It’s Fillydelphia, we’re required by law to give these out.”
“Alright then.”
All those reels added to inventory.
As you walk the streets, you realize you’ve lost your tail, guess he lost you in the ruckus. You also see several other ponies brawling, and buying things.
“Yeesh, don’t see how ponies can possibly be hurt anymore after all this…”
“I know right? It’s as if that chaotic nutjob Discord orchestrated this” Selena adds.
You grit your teeth in anger at his name, “Hey Selly?”
She sighs at your nickname, “Yes?”
“Remember that whole no killing rule?”
“Of course I do…”
“Well if he gets out again, he doesn’t count…”
“…Very well then…if that is what you wish” she says in a stilted tone.
Trying to shake your mind of dark thoughts, you see some pretty famous steps leading up to a statue of a stallion in a hoody with his arms raised in the air in triumph. You were just given those movies after all.
You run up the steps and imitate the statue while you hum the Rocky Theme aloud.
Now you feel better, until you see the stallion from before…but he doesn’t see you as you hide behind the statue.
As you hide you see a green bottle beneath Rocky’s hooves that has a picture of an Armadillo on it.
“You have found Armored Shell…Physical and Magical Damage is now reduced by 50%” a voice says.
You just shrug and place it in your inventory. You don’t feel like downing it now as you are currently hiding, but it may come in handy later.
You then see the stallion heading towards the docks, so you follow him.
You follow him into an abandoned alleyway, you quickly change into the HO and this is where you strike.
You hold him up by his throat.
“Where is it?! Where’s the Trigger! Why do you want to kill me! I am the Night!” You growl out unintelligibly.
“What?” the stallion asks in terror.
You cough and clear your throat, “Ahem…sorry, had something in my throat…So, I hear you guys are planning on starting some trouble, is this true?.”
"How would you know that Tyrant lover."
"I have no love for the False Goddess of the Sun, but neither do I for pretenders to my cause..." you menacingly growl as your eyes glow orange.
The stallion gasps as you continue
"So I'll ask again, what are you all planning?"
“I..It’s you! It really is you isn’t it? The Hooded Offender!” he says awestruck.
“Well ya, no duh, but answer my question” you huff.
“You have come to lead us in our time of triumph! Flag Burner will be pleased!”
“Oh you think so huh? Well we’ll just see about…”
“LOOK OUT!!!” Selena screams.
“Huh…” you feel a needle inserted into your neck and you start losing consciousness.
You hear the conversation continue between the stallion you interrogated and whoever injected you.
“You Fool, this is the Offender!”
“Why would he harm his own horde?”
“I don’t know, but I saw into his eyes, it’s him”
“I…uh oh…”
Swimming in your dreamscape you keep hearing a female voice.
“Wake up…”
“Ngh…”
“Wake up…”
“Huh?”
WAKE UP!!!” Selena screams.
You startle awake and see that you are sitting on a chair in the middle of an abandoned warehouse.
“Where the buck am I?”
“You are home sir, amongst your horde.” A stallion’s voice comes from the darkness.
“Who are you?”
“They call me Flag Burner…and can I just say, it’s an honor to meet you sir." He says as he walks to the table.
I choose Infinity Gauntlet, but I wouldn't mind if Power Glove wins in the end just as long as Bugze says
"I love the Power Glove...It's so bad..."
5383017 Please don't do this again.
5383761 you think to Selena "It's Just like one of the dreams I've had."
Selena says "it wasn't a dream, it was a vision."
you think you hear a creepy monotonous voice say "The nightmare came"
you use your infinity gauntlet to burn the ropes binding you to the chair.
5384515 Then after burning the ropes you mentally think of the May-Team (A-Team Ref.) theme as you enter a dark part of the room and begin ranting out loud on what they are doing is completely stupid and unorthodox before he walks out of the shadows in all of his glory (stumbling like an idiot) with his eyes aglow. oh and put a cortana ref (IE "I will not allow you to leave this planet" to "I will not allow you to start a revolution" in the same context) [Insert conversation here of how the revolution is wrong while flag burner counters] Bugze decides that if this goes on any longer it is to be a waste so he walks up and pins flag and threatens him
B: "if you start a revolution... You will not only be facing the deadly 6, the false goddess and princess of the night.... You will be fighting the stallion your 'supposedly' fighting for. I do not care if i get stoned in the end. as long as the last thing i do is for the good of ponies all around equestria... [Enter whatever else needed]
I still stand by Plan B...
As you exit the train station, you start humming the the theme from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and stroll down the boulevard taking in the sights.
Selena: You are being followed I hope you realized.
Bugze: Really?! *start turning your head to see behind you when-
Selena: STOP! If he realizes that you know, he may start running. Lead him into a dark alley and try to interrogate him there.
Bugze: Alright, but how am i going to lure him in with out alerting him or giving him time to run back? I can't just walk on walls like Spidermare. I'm not that kind of bug...am I?
You realize that even in your childhood, you never tried to walk up walls. You file this thought away for a later time when you are not trying to stop a revolution from happening.
5383521 it was size 100em. I stand by my statement.
More than likely, with your bad luck, the universe will some how screw it up for you and make it so much harder to stop the revolution. You've always have a lady to curse towards. Maybe it's time to consider having a lady to PRAY to.
dammit i read 20 chapters in 2 hours D:
i NEED MORE
