An Introduction To Madness

The ID vs The Superego

Vlad’s head was racing with thoughts, some about Rainbow Dash, some not. He stopped at a door, it was a mental institution, he kicked the door down and walked in. Vlad checked the counter and saw a book of all the patients, there was only one name in the book “Room three thousand and four” he looked over at a map, the room was on the third floor, he started to run off in the direction of the cell. Once he reached the cell he looked inside and saw torture devises like an iron maiden, a Judas cradle and a few others. Vlad sniffed at the iron maiden, it was used recently, nothing harmed inside of it though “why would it be operated if it isn’t being used for its purpose?” he asked himself, he suddenly came up with a theory “Oh, I get it. He assumed that my Master would have given up, or at least not up to this stage yet” he shook his head in disappointment, he wrote up a note which read ‘I already found you. Move your location, I want to play this game of yours’ he ran downstairs and spoke to the two with him “I couldn’t find anything, it’s hopeless searching here” just as they turned around and left, he smirked.

Hours had passed since Vlad found the place where Rainbow Dash was going to be killed, Fluttershy approached the tall black haired figure in the white trench coat “Umm...Vlad, do you think Rainbow is hurt?” she asked as she shied away,
he wasn’t as warm with his response as Thomas would have “It’s possible, I don’t know” he replied irritated,
he began walking away when Applejack said “We want Thomas back”
Vlad laughed “He doesn’t want to come out” the black haired figure walked away.

Rainbow regained her consciousness and found herself strapped to a device with spikes at her back and some in front of her, a TV had changed from static to a masked pony “Hello Rainbow Dash” it spoke calmly “You’re in what is called an iron maiden, but I slightly modified it” it looked to each side then looked back to her “I made it so that your friends are on a timer and with each passing moment it will draw closer” she could tell behind that mask he was wearing that his face had just become crazy “Eventually towards the end it’ll run you through” it was only after the TV went back to static that she began to cry.

Thomas was sitting on the ground in his inner world when he was approached by a Husky “What do you want?” he asked her,
she looked at him “You know what Vlad’s doing, don’t you?” it asked,
Thomas nodded “Yeah, I let him” he told her back,
her head turned “You let him leave Rainbow in the hands of that maniac? You let him warn that filthy creature that he was coming?” she barked out in anger,
Thomas looked at her “He what?” he asked her,
she walked away “He let Dash’s captor loose, he teased him and provoked a location change”
Thomas stood up and turned the dog over on to her back and soon he noticed that she was holding a woman by the front of her clothing “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!” he screamed at her,
she had lit a flame in her hand and put it to Thomas’ chest and pushed him away “Master, I think you need to give control to me”
he shook his head “No, I will be in control. I’ve had enough of you two for now”
the Hispanic lady sighed “I don’t know why you punish me for things he does” at that moment Thomas pulled out his trench knife.

---

Vlad stopped walking in the middle of the street, he spoke to nobody “What are you doing?” he asked worriedly “Master I’ve nearly found the captor” he tried to assure,
Thomas’ voice left his lips “Isabelle told me everything! I won’t have you in control anymore. I’m taking over again” the dark haired man gulped then began screaming,
Fluttershy went to approach him but was stopped by Applejack “Stay back sugarcube” Vlad curled into a ball still screaming, when he pulled back his hair was replaced by Thomas’ hair, the back of the trench coat was ripped off and thrown away, the leather leggings were replaced by denim jeans and his shoes were back as well, then the screaming stopped.

Thomas stood in the middle of the street shirtless “What in tha hay just happened?” Applejack asked him,
Thomas crouched down to Applejack’s level “I’m in control” he got up and screamed at the world “I’m back bitches” he began walking back to the second murder house.

---

Once he was inside he searched all around for a shirt, eventually he found one, it wasn’t teal but the colour didn’t matter anymore, he slid it on as Rarity came out “I’m glad that you’re back instead of that monster” she said with a smile on her face,
he returned it to her and looked back at Applejack and Fluttershy “I want you two to stay here. You don’t need to witness what I’ll do”
Applejack was angry at him “We cain’t let ya go out there without somepony watching yur back”
he pulled his trench knife out “I’ve got Eva here” he told them, indicating his knife,
Rarity spoke to him “Darling, you know that’s a knife, not a living thing, right?” she asked him making sure he was sane,
he pulled the blade away “She heard that, she does so exist” he said as he tossed it away, it glimmered in the sun and disappeared with an instant “She’s standing next to me now” he told them as he motioned towards a woman in a Greek dress, nopony could see her,
Eva walked over to Thomas and whispered “They aren’t able to see me”
he turned to her “Why not?” he asked,
to which she walked towards the door “No Masitki blood in them, now come on” he followed her outside and ran after her.

My mind is melting as I try to read this. No offense if it isn't, but is this a troll-fic?

Don't get me wrong, this is ridiculous, and that makes it funny. However, the lack of a comedy tag led to my confusion, so I'm really not sure what to make of it.

If you were trying to write an honest to God serious story, then I'm truly sorry, but it doesn't look the part.

If not, congrats! It was refreshing to say the least.

4485670 Well It's not comedy at its core. It's just that Thomas tries to be witty as fuck.
I don't know where you are, but I admit the earlier stuff is terrible. Also most chapter are Pop culture references
(But seeing a comment was nice)

4490007 i've only made it about five(?) chapters in, last I checked. I have been extremely busy trying to juggle some stuff recently - two one-shots I'm working on, in addition to my original series, as well as keeping on top of the new fics and making sure the really good stuff doesn't slip through the cracks (ie, Wake Me Up). And that's just when I'm AT a computer.

However, I will try to catch up with yours when I'm able to, which should be sometime soon. I really wonder where the plot's going. Excuse me...

(TWILIGHT, STOP ACTING OUT WHEN I MENTION THAT WORD! I KNOW WHAT FIC YOU CAME FROM, SO I GET HOW YOU"RE FEELING, BUT THAT GIVES YOU NO RIGHT TO INTERRUPT ME WHEN I'M TYPING!

...No, I AM going to get the next chapter finished by the end of next week...

Yes, it'll be lighthearted, and there will be sufficuient story progression. But no - I'm keeping this at a TEEN rating, so you're going to have to behave! That means no assaulting any of the OCs, on or off-screen.)

Jesu Christo, that mare's ridiculous...Honestly, working with fictional characters is a nightmare.

*facepalm* Oh, speak of the devil - Luna's here now. *sigh* It's gonna be a loooong day at the keyboard...
