A New Tale In Equestria.

by Sylif Daring Doo

Returning things to normal, a conversation of zero importance, memories.

_____*the Everfree Forest.*_____

Lyaroa and the mysterious wolf stood dumbfounded, both completely caught off guard by the current situation, both waiting for the slightest hint of treachery.

The wolf seemed to calm down for a moment though, and breath a sigh of relief. "So, you AREN'T here to send me back?" The wolf asked, clearly male.

Lyaroa raised an eyebrow. "send you back where?" She asked.

The wolf gave Lyaroa an unbelieving stare. "Seriously?......seriously?" He deadpanned.

Lyaroa rubbed her eyes and began pacing. "yes, seriously, i have no clue what you're talking about, so how about you enlighten me?" She suggested.

The wolf began pacing at a slower rate. "I hope you realize that I won't be saying much right now, but anyway, I should start with introductions, my name is Shade, and you?" He asked.

Lyaroa chuckled and looked at Shade. "lyaroa, i'm a sentinel." She replied calmly.

Shade blinked and matched Lyaroa's pacing. "I'm a Night Wolf, and unlike the name suggests, I'm technically not a wolf." He said.

Lyaroa stopped her movements and crossed her arms, Shade stopped moving but instead leaned up against a nearby cave wall. "my race is reclusive, we tend not to interfere with the business of others unless it brings irreparable damage, and what do you mean you aren't a wolf?" Lyaroa asked.

Shade shrugged. "My people are slaves, created for the sole purpose of working day and night." He looked at Lyaroa. "We do not need sleep or sustenance to survive, the only thing we need to live is a heart, which our creators keep locked away." He explained.

Lyaroa gave Shade a skeptical glare. "then why are you here?....and how?" She asked.

Shade chuckled and tapped his chest where his heart should be, Lyaroa looked closer and saw stitches. "they still have your heart?" She wondered.

Shade shook his head. "No, I found my heart, I took it back and put it back in, as for why and how I am here?.....I have no clue." He explained.

Lyaroa continued pacing and sighed. "do you want to go back?" She asked.

Shade huffed and looked up at the ceiling of the cave. "No way in hell, that world can rot for all I care." He muttered angrily.

Lyaroa mentally groaned, she now had quite the conundrum on her hands, on one hand, she had to fix the anomaly but Shade was strong enough to fight her head on, on the other hand, he despised his world, and wouldn't go back unless he was dead.

'fuck it, it isn't like anyone cares if he stays anyway.' She thought. "fine, you can stay, but you will be telling me everything you know about your world, got it?" She pointed out firmly.

Shade nodded. "No problem." He replied calmly.

Lyaroa chuckled and started to walk out of the cave. "for now, i'll leave you here, feel free to decorate or even build a small hut, nobody cares what you do in this forest, just don't burn it down." She said as she walked out.

Shade simply watched as Lyaroa walked off, he sighed and scratched his head before looking around the cave, he frowned at the sight. "I gotta move." He muttered.

_____*meanwhile, outside Derpy's home.*_____

Gwen mustered up her courage and took a deep breath, she then raised her hoof, and knocked on the door. 'She's going to kill me.' She thought.

The sounds of movement came from behind the door, and soon enough, the door opened and Gwen saw Sparkler giving her a cross look. "You here to talk to mom?" She asked coldly.

Gwen nodded silently, Sparkler sighed and backed up, letting Gwen inside. "Mom!.....Gwen's back!" She called out.

As she entered the house, Gwen heard the stairs slightly creaking as Derpy walked down.

As soon as Gwen entered the main room, she immediately saw Derpy, and she looked pissed, but she said nothing.

Derpy looked at Sparkler and walks down the steps. "Sparks, can you help your sister get ready for school.....me and Gwen have to talk." She said to her daughter.

Sparkler nodded and headed upstairs.

Gwen said nothing as she waited for Sparkler to be upstairs, when she was gone, she went to speak but Derpy beat her to it. "Gwen, before you say anything, I want you to realize that you are on VERY thin ice right now."

The words, while not surprising, were still painful to hear. "Ditzy......I know what I did was wrong, but i HAD to go, I couldn't let them go off alone, I just couldn't.......I'm sorry." She said as she lowered her head in shame.

Derpy walked over to Gwen and raised her head up so that they were looking each other in the eye. "Do you even know what happened while you were gone?" She wondered.

Gwen shook her head. "No.....I don't." She replied.

Derpy lifted the hair in front of her right eye and revealed bruise marks all around it. "Two thugs attacked me after you left, they claimed that I would be able to bring them the one they wanted, they didn't say who, but I knew that it was either you, or someone you know." She explained.

Gwen cringed as Derpy backed off. "If you didn't leave, they would have been fine, and this wouldn't have happened." She continued coldly.

Gwen looked up and saw Derpy pacing. "Ditzy......I can't apologize to you, it wouldn't matter even if I did, but I can't change what happened, all that I can do is tell you that I'm done, I'm done chasing off to fight the bad guys, there are plenty of people that can do it, next time eve il shows up, I'm not going to chase off after it." She swore sincerely as she lowered her head again.

Derpy stopped pacing and looked directly at Gwen with a practiced eye, she then sighed. "Looks like you aren't completely hopeless girl, you're up Derps." She said in a darker voice.

Gwen's eyes widened as realization hit her, she had been talking with Golden Freddy the whole time, she looked up and saw Derpy walking over to her.

Derpy approached Gwen and knelt down, she looked her straight in the eye and sighed. "Are you being serious Gwen?.....or are you just pulling my chain?" She asked calmly.

Gwen nodded and closed her eyes as she looked down. "Yea.....I'm serious, unless the next evil threatens you directly, I won't run off, i swear." She answered with honestly plain in her voice.

Derpy blinked and stood up, she then walked back to the stairs as Sparkler and Dinky headed down. "See you later mom!" They called as they ran out.

Derpy smiled as they headed out. "See you two later!" She called back happily.

The kids ran right by Gwen, who couldn't help but notice a small smirk on Sparkler's face as she ran by.

After the door was closed, Derpy started walking up the stairs, she stopped halfway and looked at Gwen. "We're going to need time to sort this out, so I think it best if you go back home for now.....i need to think." She said to her marefriend.

Gwen then stood up quietly and mentally sighed in relief. 'That......could have gone worse.' She thought as she walked to the door so she could head home.

_____*meanwhile*_____

Derpy sat down on her bed in deep thought, she then heard the telltale laugh of Golden Freddy and she closed her eyes. "Do you believe what she said?" She asked.

Golden Freddy shrugged. 'I didn't sense any lies from her as she spoke, and there is no possible way she knew about my abilities.' He answered.

Derpy opened her eyes and looked around. "You think maybe she knows someone who DOES know about you?" She wondered.

Golden put his hand to his chin as he thought. "It is possible, I mean, I felt an all to familiar presence return a while ago." He replied.

After that, Derpy fell backwards on the bed and stared at the ceiling. "Well, regardless, we should be careful, no reason to draw unwanted attention." She said.

Golden nodded. "Let me know when you need me." He said as he went silent.

Derpy was now left alone to think as she lay in the bed, for a while her mind was empty, but as she considered the future, she rolled over on her side and closed her eyes so she could think clearly.

_____*the next day, Gwen's house, 12:32 PM*_____

Skitter sat down on the couch, reading a book that Twilight lent her, it was one on human myths and such, she was currently reading on a very intriguing part on the book, Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria. [1]

She had a large bowl of some kind of beans, she grabbed one and put it in her mouth, she chuckled at the flavor she got.....jalapeño. "Every single time." She said to herself with a smirk.

It wasn't until thirty minutes later. that she finally had to stop, she had run out of beans, she stood up and took the bowl to the kitchen, after putting the bowl in the sink, Skitter returned to the couch, only now, Roxanne was there. "What's up Foxy?" She said.

Roxanne looked back at Skitter with a perplexed look. "Huh?.....oh never mind, I need to ask you something."

Skitter sat down on the couch and looked at Roxanne. "What is it?" She wondered.

"......Are you ever going to teach me the magic you showed me?.....or were you just annoying me?" She seriously asked.

Skitter blinked, and then shook her head with a grin a few moment later. "I knew that was coming sooner or later, alright, the first thing we should cover is the basics....."

____*one hour later, (because I am far too lazy to actually bother explaining the use and other basics of magic.).*____

"....And when you figure all of that out, then you need to actually perform the spell, but for now, focus on what a told you." Skitter finished.

Roxanne nodded and then took a long drink of water, she looked around and saw that no one else's was around. "Wow, this place is empty." She said.

Skitter nodded and stood up. "Agreed, well, I'm going out." She said before heading to the door.

Roxanne was then left alone in the house, seeing as Fang had gone to work at the job he didn't know he had, Gwen was trying to patch things up with Derpy, the kids were at school while Lyaroa was.....doing whatever it was she felt like doing. "Might as well practice." She muttered before heading to the basement.

_____*meanwhile, Ponyville town hall.*_____

Lyaroa entered the mayors office and sat down, while she was amused that the mayors name was Mare.....she did have something to take care of.

Mayor Mare then looked at Lyaroa after reviewing what must have been a schedule for the day. "You must be Lyaroa.....correct?" She asked.

Lyaroa nodded. "yes."

"Very well, let's see here." Mayor Mare then looked down at a small pile of papers and then at her again. "It says here you are here about purchasing a home?" She wondered. [2]

"that's right." Lyaroa replied calmly.

Mayor Mare then pulled out three papers and set them in front of Lyaroa. "Now, we found the three homes that were closest to your specifications." She said.

Lyaroa picked up the papers and looked them over, her specifications weren't that high, at least two bedrooms, one master bedroom, two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room, those were necessary, as for the optional, it could be two story, there could also be an attic or basement, or both, a room off to the side for whatever purpose, and a shed.

Mayor Mare then sat patiently as Lyaroa looked over the three houses, eventually however, Lyaroa looked up at her. "quick question, was there any other good ones?" She asked.

"Not unless you didn't want plumbing." She replied easily.

Lyaroa shrugged slightly and continued looking over the houses, the first one, had three small bedrooms, a moderately sized master bedroom, an attic, two bathrooms, a kitchen and living room, the kitchen and living room were almost merged, separated only by a small dividing wall halfway between, other than the attic, everything was on the first floor, so it was all ground level, she then set it aside.

The second house was a two story home that was essentially on the dot with what she was looking for, it had a large basement, a normally sized kitchen, a smaller living room, two moderately sized bedrooms, a decently sized master bedroom with a connected bathroom, there was a small bathroom as well, there was also a small office room, there was also a small wooden storage outside the house, the only downside was the price, she set the paper aside as she examined the third home.

The third house was almost on the dot with the specifications she set out, two equally sized bedrooms across from each other, two bathrooms, a master bedroom, a kitchen and living room, it had an attic and was two story, however, it was very condensed, the kitchen and living room were almostly merged, a bathroom was right next to the living room, the stairs to the second floor were just off to the side of the living room, the upstairs was a little better but not by much, she set it aside and looked at Myoar Mare.

"i'm going to have to go with this one." She said as she pulled out the paper on the second home.

Mayor More nodded and then took the other two away and set them aside for now. "You are sure?.....the previous owners want quite a bit for that house." She asked.

Lyaroa nodded. "i'm not exactly concerned about the price, i can pay it, so now what?" She wondered.

Mayor Mare stood up and walked over to her file cabinet and put the rest of the papers in them. "I have to contact the owners, and set up a meeting, there you can discuss price and anything else that you need to." She explained.

Lyaroa stood up and looked around a bit. "alright, i'll get out of your hair then." She said as she walked out.

"I'll contact you when I have a time." Mayor Mare told Lyaroa.

_____*later that day, Gwen's house, 10:21 PM*_____

Fang paced around in the living room, everyone else had gone to bed, even Lyaroa, who passed out on the couch listening to music, he couldn't sleep, as he wasn't tired, he didn't feel like going outside, as the door would be unlocked, he couldn't meditate, as Lyaroa's music was still playing.

As he paced, Fang couldn't help but glance at the unconscious Sentinel, part of him hated her for taking over his body, but the other part felt sorry for her, knowing her story dulled down a lot of his anger, eventually however, he walked over to the couch and knelt down, he couldn't help but examine the headphones, they were black down the middle with white surrounding it, the trim of the headphones were a light purple and they had a wolves eye on each end, he carefully took Lyaroa's headphones off and put them up against his ears, he had expected upbeat music due to the Sentinel's personality, but instead he was greeted by a song he recognized.

Fang couldn't help but smile as the song played, but he then took the headphones off and carefully took the small device that the music was coming from, he then shut it off and gently set it and the headphones down on the small end table, he noticed the blanket that Lyaroa had and pulled it over the rest of her body, Fang quietly got back up and walked to the basement door, when he reached the door and opened it, he couldn't help but remember some of his past as he closed the door and walked down the steps.

____*flashback, Fredbear's Family Diner, 2:12 AM*____

Fang showed up on the arcade camera and grinned as he rested his hand on the machine, the camera flicked on for a few moments before switching off.

He immediately moved and found Bonnie in the main room, he stood next to his friend and looked away from the camera, as the camera flickered on and off, Fang and Bonnie both moved, Bonnie to the hallway, and Fang back to the arcade, afterwards, as Fang moved towards the hallway, he spotted an odd glow coming from the prize corner, he moved towards it and noticed Foxy was out now.

Fang approached the source of the glow but was soon blinded by the camera flashing, when he recovered he found that the source of the strange glow had moved, he moved towards it and had to stop as the camera switched on.

He waited until the camera switched off and he continued towards the glow and eventually he found the source, whether it was a glitch in his systems or something else, all he saw was a small blur in his vision, he switched his night vision off and the blur became somewhat clearer, what was causing the glow was small and white, while the glow emanated from a single part of it, soon enough however the glow vanished and Fang had to continue the night.

_____*years later, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria*_____

Fang's systems booted up, he knew that it was now midnight or he wouldn't have woken up, he looked around the room and saw that his friends were now dismanted, he himself had been damaged, Freddy was missing parts all over, Chica's jaw was broken, leaving the mechanical parts of her mouth exposed, she also didn't seem to have hands anymore, she also was missing parts all over.

Fang looked to his right and saw Foxy, his damages were similar to Freddy's only worse, he wasn't able to see Bonnie at the moment so he examined himself, his legs were mostly alright apart from a few holes, his torso had wires sticking out, his left arm was alright in terms of damage, his right arm however was completely exposed, the fur like substance was gone and the endoskeleton was exposed, what was worse is that the wiring was all over the place.

Fang then reached up and felt his head and face, he noticed that his right eye was missing and that he was missing an ear, he sighed and stood up, he then walked over to his damaged friends and he immediately saw Bonnie, he was mortified.

Bonnie's entire face and most of the endoskeleton head was gone, he was missing his left arm entirely save a few wires, his left eye was gone and he was missing parts all over the place, Fang growled mechanically and looked for the door, he then walked through the door and looked around for anything or anyone.

He came out into a bathroom which confused him, as the bathroom was different than before, it had two branch off paths, one forward and one to the right, he looked behind him and saw the sign saying. 'Parts and Service'

Fang then continued walking forward and entered an enormous room, there was an arcade in the middle of it with characters he didn't recognize, he then continued walking and found a small carousel and an animatronic in the design of a human child, he had rosy red cheeks and a red and orange striped shirt with an orange propeller hat, he was holding balloons and a sign saying 'Balloons!'

Fang continued searching, he eventually happened upon what seemed to be a shrunk down prize corner, there was no animatronic so he assumed that a human ran it, he saw a small music box and a gigantic blue and purple box in the corner, he decided to continued searching.

Next he came upon a closed up room, it was empty save for the walls, floor, and some tables, so he assumed that it was the party room, he left.

As he walked around, Fang soon noticed the stage, and he was surprised, on the stage there were three more animatronics, they resembled Bonnie, Freddy and Chica respectively, but they were VERY different, the new Bonnie was bright blue and had a red bow tie, he had a red guitar that was obviously fake, he had a white cotton tail on his rear and he had rosy red cheeks, in fact, they all did, execpt for the new Chica, who had pink.

The new Chica was most notably thinner from the original, she had a bib that said. 'Lets Party!' Instead of. 'Let's Eat!' He noticed the Pink wasteline object, which he assumed was purely cosmetic and had no significance, she also had a small cupcake like the original Chica, this one was smaller and looked like plastic, it also had large bug eyes and buck teeth. "Odd." He said to himself.

Fang then decided to go look through the rest of the restaurant, he returned to the bathrooms and took the other path, he then saw the security office on the other end of the hall, he noticed that there was a security guard in the chair looking through at a tablet, he grinned, knowing that this night wouldn't be so bad after all, he then put his right hand on the wall and slowly walked towards the office.

The security guard jumped and quickly shined his flashlight down the hall, his eyes widened upon seeing Fang and he repeatedly flashed down the hall.

Fang then backed off, seeing as he was getting nowhere, he then searched one of the side rooms and found a vent, he walked over and crouched down, he saw that it was big enough to climb through, he smirked and started crawling through.

The night continued like this until six AM, with Fang attempting to get the security guard, who did his best to stop him.

_____*months later.*_____

Fang watched as Toy Foxy started on her pattern, he didn't want to say anything, but he thought of her as a child, he taught her what he could and she found out about the rest, he had to admire her tenacity, she had her shortcomings, like her speech patterns, or her overwhelming curiosity, but she was an incredibly fast learner, he had just moved into the office hallway for the second time when the music box started playing, signaling one AM, the guard, who was female, started to panic.

It wasn't until a few hours later, that Roxanne finally caught the guard while she was winding up the music box, she covered the woman's eyes and then whacked her in the back of her head, knocking the woman unconscious.

Fang then returned to the Kids cove and waited for Toy Foxy to return.

A few minutes later, the fox returned and Fang looked at her. "I have a name for you." He said calmly.

Toy Foxy tilted her head in confusion. "Oh?" She asked.

Fang nodded and leaned up against the wall. "Roxanne." He replied.

Toy Foxy scratched the back of her head for a few seconds before shrugging. "Eh, I like Roxie better, but I can deal with it." She said.

____*months later*____

Fang watched as Gwen left the Pizzeria, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl, alone in a strange world, that would suck. "Odd things emotions." Said the calm, collected and ominous voice of the Marionette. "They can cloud your judgement, make a decision easier or harder, give you strength, take it all away, give you clarity, make it easier or harder to manipulate, and even lead some people to suicide." He finished.

Fang looked over his shoulder and saw the Puppet come over. "I thought you only came out of the box when the music stopped." Fang said.

The Puppet gave Fang an odd stare. "A misconception, that is only between twelve and six, you just never stay awake long enough to see me." He replied.

Fang chuckled and looked outside as it started raining. "How can I help you big guy?" He wondered.

The Puppet would have blinked, but he had no eyelids. "I am curious, I know you plan on going with Gwen back to her world, but why? what do you have to gain by going?" He asked.

Fang looked at his silent friend. "I'm tired, I'm sick of this job and even the game isn't helping anymore, if I get a chance to leave, I'm taking it." He replied easily.

The Puppet slowly nodded and headed back to the prize corner. "Very well, but be careful, you haven't really been yourself." He warned.

_____*some time later.*_____

Fang felt only cold as he opened his eyes, he woke up to a ceiling he did not recognized, to a cold breeze passing by, and even the sound of breathing from nearby, he sat up and rubbed his eyes, after that he looked around and saw a white wolf covered with injuries and bloodstains. "Who are you, and where am I?" He asked groggily.

The wolf passed Fang a bottle of water and leaned back. "i'm lyaroa, and welcome to the crystal empire." She replied.

Fang took a long drink from the bottle and looked at Lyaroa. "I'm Fang, how did I get here?" He asked.

Lyaroa tapped her head. "either you don't remember or your mind is still hazy, but i brought you here." She replied calmly.

Fang thought about for a moment and soon remembered something important. "You controlled my mind." He said.

Lyaroa nodded. "and your body, but it was better that than dying." She answered.

_____*end of flashbacks.*_____

Fang couldn't help but sigh as he remembered, he knew that Lyaroa controlled him, but as he thought about it, he couldn't stay mad, as he knew that what she did saved many lives, including Roxanne's, even if they didn't realize it.

Fang walked to the bed and got under the covers, he began to ponder what life would hold next, if anything at all.

_____*the next day, 4:13 PM*_____

Shade sighed and walked out of his cave, he had spent most of the previous day gathering wood, now all he needed to do was find a way to actually start building.

He took a whiff of fresh air and started walking, he had already familiarized himself with the forest so he started walking to the path, but as he did he couldn't help but feel like someone was watching him, eventually, once he reached the path he had gotten sick of the feeling. "Alright, who's watching me!?"

A loud thud behind Shade answered his question for him, he turned around and saw Lyaroa grinning. "don't like being stalked huh?" She joked.

Shade rolled his eyes and continued walking. "I don't think anyone likes being stalked." He replied.

Lyaroa chuckled. "fine, mind if i tag along?" She asked.

Shade shrugged. "Sure, why not, it'll be nice to have some company for a while." He said.

The two then began walking together, with Lyaroa on the right and Shade on the left. "how are you holding up shade?" Lyaroa asked.

"Alright I guess, I want to start building but I don't have tools." He replied.

Lyaroa put her arms behind her head and looked up. "well, i might be able to help out, it's not like i'm breaking the rules by making some tools." She mentioned.

Shade nodded and continued walking. "Thanks."

Lyaroa then looked at Shade. "i have a question, does your race have sexual urges?" She wondered randomly.

Shade looked at Lyaroa with confusion, but answered her anyway. "No, we don't have the reproductive organs anyway so what's the point?" He asked.

Lyaroa shrugged. "no reason, just felt like asking." She replied.

"Then let's your race have them?" Shade asked.

Lyaroa blinked with a grin. "if we give ourselves them, then yes."

It was almost ten minutes of walking until Lyaroa had to get back home, so Shade was on his own for the rest of his walk.

Shade continued walking, until he heard footsteps coming from a ways behind him, he turned around and his eyes glowed for a moment as he saw a zebra walking along the path towards him, not wanting to be seen, he ran off the path and into the wilderness.

So by the time the zebra reached where he was, Shade was long gone.

_____*two minutes later,*_____

Shade returned to his cave and looked around, there was no sign of intruders and he was sure no one was following him, he approached the entrance to the cave when he saw a large bundle inside, he walked over and noticed a letter, he picked it up and read it.

'hey shade, inside the bundle is a little device i made, it contains all the building tools and nick knacks you'll need to build, it won't supply you with a weapon of mass destruction or the building materials, but it can supply you with any tool from a shovel to a saw, simply hold the handle and think on what you need like a box of nails and open it, it has a recharge however, so don't go insane pulling things out, good luck, ps, don't let anyone but me get their hands or hooves on it.'

Shade thought about this for a time before testing the device, which looked like nothing more than a wooden chest, he turned the handle just as he thought about needing a saw, he opened the chest then pulled out a hand saw and he blinked.

"Well that's helpful." He said before getting an axe out of the chest and walking over to the logs he had in the corner.

Author's Note:

[1]Yes THAT book.

[2]Becuase I am too lazy to put in a real estate agent.

And yes, I know Lyaroa's speech had no caps, that was intentional, does anyone get it?

Other than Fang's trip down memory lane, and Gwen's talk with Derpy, not much really happened this chapter I know.

Did anyone get the reference though? Other than the one mentioned above?
