This is the tale of Scarlet, a noble soldier of Evelestria that always do what she think is good.
"This is the tale of two ponies with a duty... well, only one of them. The other one is only taking care of the mare. Really, that stallion is weird, always wearing that gas mask and never showing his face.
The protagonist of this story, Scarlet Nightmare is noble soldier of the kingdom of Evelestria, another kingdom far away from and in war with Equestria, but after waking up in a bed with a doctor taking care of her, she finally believes things may have a change for good.
This fic has Lake's help. Thank you very much for your time.
“The most important thing to me is my family. But, right now, ponies, we are here in the battlefield, noble soldiers of Evelestria, having our guardian angel and goddess, Sonne. We won’t lose against the evil of Equestria, we are going to protect our kingdom and kick their flanks! Ready!”
This is nothing more than a beginning. Soldiers fighting for what they believe, even if they know the fight will be a massacre. But, the most and saddest thing in war, is… what the families of both sides will lose. Even in the country of evil, ponies have family and they love them. They don’t want to lose them in a war-useless they have a religion that have a law to the deaths in the war, if that’s the case, there is no pain-and even the soldiers sometimes are afraid of what would happen if they die in action. Those words that were spoken, were the words of a great pony and warrior pegasus, Scarlet Night. She was the captain of the first squadron of soldiers in Evelestria.
She look’s full of courage and free will, having a hard temperament and a bad mouth, but she always was a charismatic mare. The war started in the moment less opportune, celebrating the wedding of Princess Sonne, the goddess of Evelestria. She always is giving her love to her little ponies. But, nopony really knows what the reason to starting a war was. The only thing they really know is that she didn’t start the war. The evelestrians tried so hard to stop their enemies, but that was useless. The soldiers from Equestria were having enough power-weapons with magic and strategy-to make a check on Evelestria. This tale starts after the last fight in the battlefield, and of course, the glorious victory of Equestria.
“Hey, lady, are you okay?” asked a pony with a gas mask covering his face.
“… Ah…” of course, Scarlet couldn't answer his question, and the reason was easy.
“Come on, I know you can speak a little, your lungs aren't that bad, I swear”
The reason was clearly as water. She was gasping, while the gas masked pony with a lab coat was… stopping her bleeding?
“Hey, talk to me, isn’t funny when somepony is touching your guts and trying to aid you.” Shouted the gas mask pony’s with some eloquence.
“…Ahhh…” was useless to Scarlet, she was losing so much blood. While the doctor’s aiding her, she lost her conscience.
“Shit!” yelled the gas masked pony.
Three days after that incident, after the war ended, Evelestria and Equestria make a treaty. Everypony in Evelestria will forget about their culture and religion to be new followers of Celestia. In that conference, nopony saw even the biggest smile or a tear for the princess, but there is something they will never forget the equestrians in that day, the eyes of the ponies were full of rage and wild for fight. They looked like they haven’t given up; they were looking like beast in their jails.
“Agh!” Scarlet woke up, yelling thanks for her nightmare, after that yell, she’s start gasping. She couldn’t move even one feather of her wings.
“Well, well, the lady’s woke up.” Said the gas masked pony.
Scarlet was afraid, is she now a prisoner of war? “Who da hell are you?” asked the scarlet pony.
“I am only a mere doctor that found you in the battlefield full of blood and some guts out of their place.
“Your mother didn’t give you a name?” asked Scarlet, wanting to know the names of the stallion.
“Like I told you before, I am a mere doctor, my name doesn’t mean anything. You can call me as you want, but normally, the patients call their doctors… doctor…” answered the stallion.
“Ok, doc. What da fuck is this place? Why the fuck I can move? Why the fucks you can even give me your motherfucking name?” shouted Scarlet with some question full of love and peace.
“You have a nice tongue. I don’t know how the soldiers of Equestria weren’t able to cut that. But, if you want a name, you can call me Gas. Yeah, I know, it’s so damn original. ” the mare didn’t get the joke, it wasn’t funny for her calling a stallion “Gas” if that name wasn’t real.
“Seriously, are you gonna give me that nickname with reference of your gas mask our, I’ll make you throw that name with some hoofs in your stomach!” yelled Scarlet, but the stallion after hearing those words, he's started to laugh.
“Hahahahahaha, you really are an interesting mare, in your situation, I would wait until the anesthesia get out of your system, and don’t forget about wounds, hahahahahaha! I don't know how the fuck I closed them without losing some of your guts!” yelled Gas with laughs, but he’s words weren’t joking. The situation of the mere was a miracle.
“… What do you mean?” asked Scarlet.
“I mean that, in the battlefield, you have nearly died, like the others out there. I don’t even know how I manage to get you here with those vultures, damn, they even tried to eat you, and nearly made it with one of your eyes. Right now, lady, you are the sole survivor of your squadron. I will pray that you don’t get the Survivors guilt.” Answer the stallion without avoiding every creepy part of that place “You should smell that air in that moment, earth and blood; the trees of that place will have enough nutrients”
“No way… I… I need to go to the castle right now!” yelled Scarlet full of fear.
“Why?” asked Gas with curiosity.
“To tell this shit to the princess, Sherlock!” answered Scarlet. Gas’s started to laugh.
“That’s a good one, Red-Red!” laughed Gas “Right now, going to that place is not a good idea.” After saying this, he showed her the news “I will bring you the good news; Equestria and Evelestria maked a treaty, now Evelestria belongs to Equestria. Ponies like you right now have a new princess, Celestia. Congratulations.”
“You… you might be fucking with me… that’s a lie… you are one of those soldiers! Let me free you motherfucker and I will put that gas mask were the sun doesn’t bring the light!” shouted Scarlet with wrath.
“Look, I am not a bad soldier, if I were one of them, you probably were raped and killed, or if I were one of those crazy doctors-well, I am a crazy doctor-probably torture you and next raped you until death using your blood like lubricant, but, look at you, you’re alive, and still virgin if you are one.”
“You!” Scarlet face’s red like a tomato.
“Yeah, I know, I am too expressive. My mother always told me that, but now you are my responsibility, I am a doctor of course.”
“… How can I trust you?” Scarlet asked, Gas didn’t answer until passed five seconds.
“Really? After I aid you, you’re still taking me as a stranger… well, I am one, but, hey, that’s hurt.”
“I’ll trust you if you let me go to the castle.”
“That’s impossible right now, with your condition, is a miracle that you are yelling at me with that energy”
“Them, take me to the castle of Valhalla!”
“…” the doctor didn’t answer, he was stunned after hearing what the mare said “Lady, if I wasn’t wearing my gas mask, probably you will watch how shy I am… I didn’t know you were that type of mare that yell at the first doctor ¨Take me to the castle of Valhalla¨” answered Gas.
“You motherfucker, let me get up and I will crush you!” yelled the blushed mere. But after those words full of wrath, a certain sound came from her stomach “…” she didn’t say anything after that. Probably was so embarrassed that she was hungry.
“I think is time to feed you. I will be right now, don’t move or bleed there, please.” requested the masked stallion.
The doctor came back with a soup in his head. A real challenge was to Gas feed the mere, she were yelling like a crazy pony that she could eat with herself, but, of course, thanks to the anesthesia and other drugs in her system, she couldn’t move even the most tiny feather of her wings. Sometimes she spilled out the soup in the face of Gas, and I don’t know how that doctor could handle that mare. Seriously, how the hell did he?
“Gas…”
“What now, Red-Red?”
“First, I have a name, not like a freaking doctor, second… how the hell I go to the bathroom if I need to pee?” asked the mere. Gas was so shocked that even that wasn’t funny for him.
“I don’t know if you are… forget it. Right now, you have a certain thing that I put in your urethral opening, thanks to the drugs, your system do it automatically until they left your body. That’s I only feed you with liquids.” Answered Gas. He was amazed that she having the title of soldier never in her life have sawed a patient full of drugs.
“Ure-what?”
“The hole upper the vaginal hole, Sherlock. Its where you pee, or usually female do.”
“You… you putted something in my… You damn pervert!” yelled with such a fury.
“Oh no, not this, please, not this. This is so typical… well, I did get shocked when I find something inside my penis… was wear, but, meh, is only temporal. I will remove that when you can feel that necessity. So, please, don’t be mad on me doing my work. You probably will embarrassed if I let you peeing in the bed and I would clear the bed and your clothes.” certainly, Scarlet didn’t yell after hearing the words of the doctor, but still, she was still angry against the doctor, touching her personal place, even with a good will.
Two weeks after that, Scarlet was able to walk, was a pain in the ass getting up from the bed to go to the bathroom, but at least she was happy to being free of that thing in her personal place. Every day she was suggesting to the doctor to accompany her to Valhalla. All the answer where the same, until one day she have enough energy to stand for an entire day.
“Ok, fine. I will come with you to Valhalla, but you shouldn't, you need to rest three more weeks… But, with one condition”
“And that is?”
“Even if you need to fight or do an exercise or trying to be the big mouth that you are with somepony that doesn’t like to be insulted and want a fight, I will anesthesia you and we’ll back to this place until you’re wounds are healed and you don’t fill pain even walking.”
“Fine, but I don’t feel pain while I am walking!”
“That’s what you said, and I don’t buy that bullshit.”
After this conversation, both were ready to leave the place in the next morning. Scarlet was amazed that she was in a cave all this time, a doctor living in a cave, that’s new for her. She always believes that doctors where ponies full of money and good life, but the style of life of Gas was… so simple. Gas was always putting an eye on the mere, she was his duty as a doctor, and putting her in health danger would be a sin for him.
The night was more than beautiful. Certainly, the stars in the sky were playing around, like dancing in a happy party, or at least, was what the doctor saw while he has some hallucinations. Why the stallion is hallucinating? That’s easy to answer, he couldn’t sleep. He was trying to concentrate all his energy to guard the camp. Scarlet was there, resting. After walking too much and the poor Scarlet, having her wounds just being healed few weeks ago. The dreams of her weren’t but at all, if you manage to look at her face, the mare was moving around, like a child, n hyperactive one. What’s at her head? It could be something really normal for a soldier, remembering an epic battle in the battlefield, or in another duty that does a soldier. But, why we don’t look at her dreams?
“I wanna know why mama always tried to stop me to go to the knight’s school? I always dreamed to be a great pegasus, just like my grandmother, a great mare, full of temperament. She was full of fame… nopony tried to oppose her. She even was blessed by our princess. So, why did she try to stop me if her mama was so cool? Grandpa always told me that both always give their love to her… well, this is freaking me out with so many questions I am making right now. I should only enjoy this, I will do my best, and I will be the great knight of Princess Sonne’s!” those were the words in the head of the mare, well, pony at this age. Of course, I am talking about our great pony, Scarlet Night. She was talking about the great pegasus and right hoof of Princess Sonne’s after no more than fifty years, Golden Wing. And now that Sonne was making the preparatives of her future right hoof, young’s ponies full of dreams were trying to do the best they can do.
Her first days weren’t like the other ponies. They do not have the same training as Scarlet-well, being the granddaughter of a great knight and she had training with her granddaughter… that old mare was not easy…-but, of course, things changes while the pony was in that school. The first thing is her hate against unicorns. Not a racist way of it, only talking about their magic, she hates magic. She always believed that unicorns always cheat while they are fighting. That’s what she thinks about that, until she manages to know one great soldier at the school. An unicorn full of laziness, I don’t even know how the fuck he got at his title, being that lazy, skipping sometimes training, that pony really show her some tricks and even tech her some advices.
“Why I shouldn’t hate unicorns? They are cheaters, they always using their magic to take avatange” Scarlet said.
“If that’s the case, you are a cheater, too.” Alexander said after hearing the words of the pony.
“Pardon?”
“You are a pegasus; earth ponies can’t even fly or even use magic like pegasus or unicorns. The three species can be as good as anyone at physical level. A pegasus can be better physically than an earth pony or an unicorn, and those two can be better than the others… well, you got it. If you keep talking like that, you will be saying that earth ponies are weaker than us, pegasus and unicorns.”
“Don’t fuck me with that! I didn’t say that shit!” yelled the angry pegasus.
“Maybe you didn’t said with your words, but, that is what ponies think after hearing that. You should know the limits my friend. Unicorns have that. We need to concentrate to use our magic, if we don’t concentrate, we will do shit. And don’t come at me with the excuse of telekinesis, it’s hard as you don’t know trying to control something that’s moving around so fast. Even the most powerful and magic ponies of Evelestria needs a great training to control many objects at the same time, and don’t talk about their weight.”
“And? Telekinesis is not their only power!”
“You’re right. We have more powers, but, unicorns need more than knowledge to dominate their power, all around between two things: their special talent-that’s an easy one, you only need to take a look at their flanks-and the other thing…. Is hard to get, and that’s natural talent. We don’t have the luck of you, pegasus and earth ponies, you can train a lot to be the best you can do, but we, we need luck at the moment we born to be the best in our race. If you’re happy to hear this, I hate fuckers that think they are the best without taking the hard way… and a lazy pony as me is telling that, so, that’s worse” those were the words of Alexander, being serious but, of course having his easy going nature, talking about that without problems.
Scarlet was amassed; she never knew that unicorns have that problem. She always believed that unicorns were overpowerd, but hearing that, few of them will be taked as they deserve… that’s kind of sad “I didn’t know that… I am sorry”
“Why you are sorry? Are you sorry about that shit? Don’t make me laugh, that’s nothing important, well, not like me. I didn’t get mad when they told me I was a mediocre pony. I always believed that the best motivator of are the worse notice of all. Look, you born health, ponies didn’t believe that somepony like me with ADHD get where I am, my mother was always giving the best that she can do to make me a good pony that didn’t lose studies or walk in the bad road. Anyway, like I told you, even if I don’t have the second thing to be the best, I can be specialized in my special talent. And that things it’s what really counts”
Scarlet heard the words of Alexander. She looked at her flank, watching that shinning lance and shield around feathers. Her special talent… being a great knight in combat, the only problem with her was of course that her nature didn’t let her being a strategist “… Do you want to train for a while? asked Scarlet, trying to be nice with the unicorn.
“I thought hate unicorns and their magic?”
“I don’t hate you; I hate idiots that think they always are the best” Alexander laughed after hearing the answer of Scarlet “You aren’t one of those unicorns full of proud and shit! And that’s why you like me; anyway, not anypony can train with the great granddaughter of Golden Wings” Alexander start to laugh.
“Ok, ok. You win hahaha”
“What’s so funny?”
“Nothing, haha. It’s nothing, hahahaha!”
The dream ends there. Scarlet woke up, was still at night. The crickets were like always, making their sounds “What time is it?” asked Scarlet, Gas didn’t answer her “Hey!” was useless; the stallion didn’t answer the calls “Is he asleep?” Scarlet didn’t think twice and trying to don’t make any sound, she moves nearly to the stallion, trying to touch his mask.
“Was the dream nice?” asked Gas when she was close enough at him.
“Agh!” yelled Scarlet, jumping backwards “Agh…” yelled again, but this time in pain.
“You shouldn’t be jumping like that, I know I am sexy and my voice was so sexy that you yelled of happiness.”
“… Why aren’t you slepping?”
“I don’t want to sleep. Right now is not the best decision, though.”
“Why?”
“B’cause my lady; fist, I like the hallucinations I am watching right now in the sky, thanks for the days I haven’t sleep. Second, around of us are beasts that will kill us if we both sleep.”
“What?” Scarlet asked surprised.
“You’re a pegasus, you were always flying in the sky or sleeping at the clouds if you were in a place that you don’t know very well, or at least is what common sense says. I know this place better than anypony else-well, if there were anypony else- this place is nearly unexplored-but that’s not a problem right now.”
“What do you mean, what is this place? I sure I know every place in Evelestria.”
“This is the Phantom Forest.” Gas answered.
“The Phantom what?” yelled in fear “Why the hell we are in one of the most dangerous places around Evelestria? This place is full of beast that could kill us in instants!”
“You are right; they can kill us in instants. But, I got good news for you, I know this place, was a great place I lived before living in that cave. This road is the road of the Dream’s Eaters, well, in few words, we are in their territory. If we both get asleep in the night, they will come and kills us in our nightmares. So, try to sleep for now.”
“The hell I will sleep with fuckers that can kill me without any hesitate, I will stay up until morning!”
“Good luck with that, the night in this place have more hours than the real world.”
“What do you mean?”
“In the real world, we have 24 hours. Normaly, we have 12 hours of daylight-completely depends of the season-and the others 12 hour have darkness-depends-but, in this place, we have 24 hours of darkness and the next “day” only has 8 hours.”
“… You got to be kidding me.”
“I wish. The worse thing is that if we lose the fire, we’re dead.”
“Why the fuck-“ Scarlet couldn’t end her curse sentence.
“If we run, they kill us, if the fire is death, they kill us and if we sleep, they kill us. Try to think about it. But, you can choose stay here or try to escape, if you try the second, the only way you manage to escape Is making the famous and legendary Rainboom, and girl, there is only one pony in this generation that can do it and that’s not you, and if you were that pony, you condition would send to dead. So, please, calm down and sleep. “ Scarlet couldn’t say anything after hearing the words of Gas. She was scared.
“Now now. 6 hours left, and now my hallucinations are making me watch the first four movies of the Italian Stallion, Rocky… I wish I had some popcorn right now.”
“… How can you be so calm in this situation?”
“Being calm, that’s easy. Just try to avoid and don’t think about the problems… well, that’s easy for ponies like me.”
“Doctors have that talent to ignore their patients fear?”
“No, ponies that born with some attention problems.” Scarlet couldn’t say anything, she was surprised after hearing the words of Gas, her eyes were opened thanks for her shock “Now, please, sleep and let me watch how Rocky manage to get the girl.”
Well, Scarlet didn’t get asleep after 3 hours, but having that condition, she felt asleep with great difference of time. When she woke up, she wasn’t at the forest “Where are we?” asked Scarlet, amused that they were far away of the forest.
“Nearly to the Valhalla, why are you asking that?”
“How the hell we get out of that hell?”
“Walking. You were really asleep that I couldn’t get you ready, so, I carried you.”
“How long?”
“Fifteen ours.”
“How the hell we get so far with that time? My squadron need eight days to get at that battlefield at full and we manage to came so early, how?”
“That forest have a lot of short cuts to anyplace of this nation. The problem is managed to survive and watch how the old refrain: Easy way is not always the correct or beast one… wait a sec… that wasn’t an easy way… o well, forget it.”
“Wait a fucking second, how the hell do you know something like that if our most intelligent ponies didn’t know that?”
“Who says they didn’t know that? They know that better than me, the problem is surviving that hell. They are so many things that you really need to study, like two hundred years ago, one mare get the knowledge of every shortcut in the forest, Sonne used that for few years until they knew how dangerous was that place. And that’s why the better road is the long one. Well, let’s stop talking, we are in your home.” said Gas.
Scarlet was indeed amused; she was in home… in her home. The few things that hit her mind were her family. But right now, she needs to go to the palace in Valhalla. Talk with her princess. But the most important thing was… the capital didn’t change. She didn’t see anything involving the war… well, last war, like aches, in other words, the remains of the war “This is so weird… Gas, you know what happened?” asked Scarlet while both were walking to the gates.
“Do you never heard about peace?” asked the doctor “’Cause, ways of peace or ending the war are so many, like killing then all with poison in their water… wait, that only works with rivers, and I think your country or even Equestria have a good control with the water” answered Gas.
“Well… that’s right, but, I don’t know how the hell something like that happened. They started the war!” yelled the mare.
“That does not matter. You should read some history, great kingdom with love and peace, having a good level of economic, now they are doomed with problems, a lot of problems. But now, stop talking about that. Probably Valhalla is full of Equestrians, so, be nice with them.” Scarlet’s face change with rage in the moment when Gas talked about that probability. Gas laughed after watching her face.
Both of them were stopped by two guards protecting the gates, both have the symbol of Canterlot “Stop there!” ordered one of the soldiers of the gates “Identify!”
“We ar...” the mouth of Scarlet was sealed by an apple.
“We are travelers, I am a mere doctor, my name is Sly Cooper, and she is Carmelita, my patient, she was one of my patients and she asked me if we can go to see her family”
“And why you cover your face with such a mask?” asked one of the soldiers.
“Well… where I can start? Oh! I have a terminal diseases, is extremely contagious and make my face like if were the face of one dead, in other words, rotting. The smell is just too insane, I live with that thing all my days and try to not do something wrong. I have to eat alone… I said that my dick’s rotting, too? I wish I see the flank of that dude that do this to me, ‘cause I can’t recognize him. Anyway, if you want, you can look and see if I am lying to you, I need some treatment of course with some friends” Gas touched his gas mask, but was stopped by those guards.
“Wait, don’t do that, please!” yelled both of them “You can go… but please, don’t do that and go to the hospital!”
“Of course my good friend, come on my dear girl, we need to go and tell your family that you’re ok” said Gas with a great smile in his face, well, of course, was hide by the mask. Scarlet didn’t believed what she saw there.
“The hell happened?”
“That’s magic of fear, my dear patient.”
“No… How that happened?”
“Well… I said the words dick and rotting. That’s something that could be the nightmare of anypony… well, male pony. We have luck there.”
“What could happen if they didn’t stop you?”
“My beautiful face, probably with the level of gorgeousness, they would be gay, and then, they could be following us, at back, looking at my flank.” the face of Scarlet was full of confusion, hearing such a bizarre thing. She learns one thing, that doctor is more than a liar, is full of bad humor comedy.
After that, they walked around the capital that looks like before the war, only with the differences of the guards, they didn’t have the guards of Equestria “protecting” their streets. They stopped in the center of the capital, was full of evelestrians and equestrians. They were hearing and looking at a Lavender Unicorn in one tower, her hair was black and violet… well, was a really weird mixing of colors. And the flank, don’t forget the flank, was full of sparks.
“Such an extravagant unicorn, isn’t it?” said Gas.
“I haven’t seen that face around of this fucking place.”
“Well, less talk and more hearing. Probably is an equestrian.” the face of Scarlet was full of anger.
The lavender unicorn was there, with silence. She didn’t say anything. What that heck was she doing? But this changed when somepony appeared. A stallion with white color, spiky black hair, but the most interesting thing of that stallion, was the broken horn in his head, was a unicorn without horn. He was with that lavender unicorn, and started to talk “Hello, everypony of Equestria and Evelestria. We are here to make a speech. I, Alexander Lance, the head of military and right hand of Princess Sonne’s. This young pony is Princess Celestia’s student, the magic of the Elements of Harmony, Twilight Sparkle. She was one of the first ponies to talk about peace and ending this war. Hear very carefully her speech.” with those final words, Twilight start to talk.
“Hello, everypony. I must say, I am glad to be here, in the beautiful capital of Evelestria. The first thing I thought when I heard about a war, was talking with Princess Celestia. After we talked, we decide how could end this war, how much we could lose, both sides, and peace was the best option. After we arrived to this capital, we talked with Princess Sonne. She was really nice with us, and we manage to end the war with only a simple conversation. And now, everypony can go back to their houses, with their children that participated in the war, and we are really sorry about all the ones who lose their lives, fighting for what they believe. For those ones, we will give them a compensation for this pain, so we believe that we will be friends, evelestrians and equestrians. Thanks for hearing this.” After saying that, the pony disappeared with her magic, Alexander was there, and his face was full of happiness with this ending. For Gas, this was something really interesting, one of the Elements of Harmony in Evelestria, the only thing in his mind was, how much powerful could be that unicorn. For Scarlet, her face wasn’t like always, she was kind of sad, but his started when he saw her old friend, Alexander.
“Hey, Scarlet,” Gas called his patient; the mare didn’t answered the call “What happen? They unicorn ate your tongue?”
“Don’t fuck with me!” Scarlet yelled, but her face didn’t change. She was sad “Don’t make hit you and make you kiss the ground.”
“You sure are a good mare with jokes, that unicorn probably ate your tongue, or maybe was the ex-cor-.” after saying this words, her hit the face of the stallion, making the stallion fly like a bird in those few seconds. This was incredible, even with those injuries; Scarlet’s manage to make a good kick with her legs, making that stallion kiss the floor “I already told you, motherfucker.” Scarlet started to panting, she wasn’t in the right condition to do something like that.
The stallion didn’t move from his position; she didn’t know if he was dead or unconscious. While the others ponies didn’t pay attention to the situation of Scarlet and Gas “So… I think this is the end of this, thanks to helping me, but I don’t need another idiot making me crazy” she said, starting to walk away.
“Meh, I can’t let you that.” Gas said while he was rising up from the ground “Dude, I thought you were unable to do something like that, but, wow, that’s awesome.” The words of the stallion for Scarlet were full of confusion “I think you broke my jaw… oh, well, another reason to not eat.” was he lying? If his haw was broken, why is he talking without problems? “Anyway, we should go to the castle and do what you really want, after that; you’re free of my treatments.”
“Why the fucks are you threatening me so nice after bit the crap out of you?” she asked.
“Hmm? Why would I be angry with you? You are my patient, and I had a lot of fun with your reactions. Well, let’s go.” after that, both go to the castle, for Scarlet, it was like the last time she saw that place. Gas was doing nothing, he was there, watching the mare while he was playing with his broken jaw and tasting his blood. After few minutes, the mare saw somepony, her old friend, Alexander. Only watching him was the trigger to make her run to him-as always, Gas was amused how the hell the injuries didn’t make her yell in pain after doing something so reckless-
“You idiot!” yelled with her strength.
“Scarly?” asked, after feeling the hug of the mare “Yo-you are alright?” he asked, having his eyes nearly crying “Dear Sonne, you are alive, I am so happy!” the stallion answered the hug “O my dear Sonne, you are alive, I thought you were-“ he couldn’t end the sentence, ‘cause the mare hit him in the head “Auch!”
“How the hell would you think I was dead?” she asked with a fierce gaze “You need to explain me, ALL!” yelled, Alexander couldn’t avoid a smile in his face, in those moments, Gas was thinking that he was masochist.
“I have more than two weeks with that hell in a mare and the only thing of her body she used to touch me was an leg, and was used for a kick, nam nam” taste the doctor while he was tasting his blood and murmuring “If that dude is not the masochist in the relationship, I bet he is gay.” And in that right moment, the stallion start to moving “I got an idea-If I am correct, or I will have another kicks in the face, or make them brush, or both things, I wish the second-”
Meanwhile, two ponies were talking like good friends-good friends always insult each other… or only one of them; and that one was the mare, the stallion was… very polite- “So… that was all the fuck what happen.” finish explaining her little adventure with her doctor. Alexander couldn’t believe what he heard “That fucker even do nasty things with my body, who that hell he think he is?”
“I think it’s a good guy, he saved you from the dead, and that is something that I can’t forget, I own he one.” he said happily, watching her fried alive “We should thanks him”
“Oh no, no, no, no. He’s a freak. You don’t know how annoying that fucker can be!”
“I think I can deal with that” rolled his eyes.
“Well, I don’t know if this is awkward, but you can tell your girlfriend to be nice with her doctor? Really, she always insulting me; but the way, you’re welcome good sir, now you can make your children with her and have how many you can.” The two ponies were freeze for… am, three seconds I guess “What happen, the lav-“ indeed, he was kicked by the mare “Oh, well, at least she probably is red like a tomato… wait, she is already red by her color… I want to know if the other dude is red.” was his words in his mind while falling to the ground.
“You, motherfucker I will kick you so hard that you will change your fucking mouth and brain!” yelled the mare, one who could tell if she was blushed or not, but at least, the stallion was red like a tomato.
“I… I don’t know how response” said with confusion the un-horned Alexander.
“I think you should think if she hates that or she was angry b’cause she might love you, hehe. But, before you kick me, you should stop doing that, it’s hurting you. I know, you last kick was stronger than this one.” commented the doctor while Alexander was trying to stop the mare of doing anything stupid, again.
“Let me go! Let me go and let mi kill this fucker!”
“How can you bear that girl?”
“Hehe, well, calm down, Scarly, you need some rest,” advised the stallion to Scarlet, the mare nearly yelled with an outrageous fury “And you need to talk with your mother, and the princess. Tonight we will have a great dinner to celebrate the end of the war.” Scarlet rapidly winked her eyes after hearing the words of Alexander, a dinner?
“Wait a fucking minute… I told ya, I need to talk with Princess Sonne, right fucking now!”
“You will talk with her in the dinner; she’s right now dealing some businesses after the treaty, tonight is the right time to deal with this, but I don’t know what you can change now,” commented Alexander, talking with that mare was like talk with a tree-ok, that’s an insult against the trees-“Anyway, we can invite our friend.”
“… Alexis, one question, and is an easy one. Did a hammer hit your head? B’cause ya need a freaking doctor right now. No way will that bastard appear in the dinner. I won’t handle that shit, I won’t.”
“That’s not a problem for me,” said Gas, now playing with his jaw, again “I think you broke the other part of my jaw… Don’t ask how I can talk with this pain.” Gas sighed “Anyway, I can’t be in that dinner, I am not even an Equestrian or Evelestrian; another idiot in this place helping Black Canary to stay alive, that is what I am. Right now you are in good hoofs, so, you are free of my treatment.”
“Excuse for the question, Gas. Where do you come from?” asked Alexander.
“From a vagina, like you and her, I come from womb city, it was a nice place,” both didn’t get the joke “Dude, I don’t have documents, I don’t belong to anyplace, only to my cave.” explained the stallion “If you excuse me, I will come back to my house.”
“Wait!” Alexander yelled, stoping Gas.
“What now?”
“I can’t let you go, you are a hero my friend, you saved the life of my friend, and one of the greatest soldiers of Sonne, she will be happy with you, she even can reward you.”
“You won’t give up, right?” asked with irony “Ok, you win.” Gas sighed. Scarlet was thinking about how many things the doctor might fuck. Like doing those comments against the princess, or anyone who she’s respects.
“Fuck…” sighed the mare with some fury “Anyfuckingway, can you give me the names of the ponies that might be in the dinner?” she asked to her friend.
“Hmmmm… well…”
A great table full of food most expensive than a house of anypony in Valhalla, gourmets chefs were making more food; they were equestrians and evelestrians, such a beautiful thing. The music was glamorous, very noble. The Princess Sonne was waiting for the other guests, Alexander was crying b’cuase he couldn’t eat without all the ponies invited. Some noble’s ponies were there too; with those faces full of proud and… all those things that make them think that they have blue blood. Gas was controlling his wishes to drink the whole bottle of vodka. And of course, our dear soldier, Scarlet, she was trying to not fuck the hell out, why? that was easy to answer.
The door was kicked by a party canon “Hellow everypony!” yelled with happiness the most hyperactive pony of all the regions.
“Pinkie Pie, don’t do that!” yelled Rainbow Dash, trying to stop Pinkie Pie to doing Pinkiethings.
“Oh… too many franks for one Gas” those words were in the mind of Gas after sawing those girls. Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle… well, those were the youngest ones. After them came the captain Shining Amour and his wife, Cadance. And of course, the greatest of all, Celestia “Heck, this place is in…” he couldn’t end the sentence, after sawing the face of Scarlet, her eyes were killing them all, or at least that could happen if the look can kill somepony “Damn, I think I need to be full.”
An idea hit the scarlet mare “Dear Gas, can you please tell us how you manage to save me, and if you don’t mind, how was the field.” she said before he started to drinking.
The doctor was shocked after hearing the words of Scarlet “Oh, of course, pleace, Mr. Gas, can you tell us how you protect my little pony?” asked Sonne.
“Is he a doctor?” asked Cadance. Alexander got the indirect, and he wasn’t happy of hearing all the ponies talking about that, the other one was Shining Armor. Celestia didn’t say anything. Fluttershy was talking with Twilight, Pinkie Pie eating like a monster, Rarity and AJ were waiting the words of the stallion.
“I think my writer is trying to kill me, right now. I don’t even know how the hell he manage to write this things if he is so new in this language, fuck.” In this situation, the only think that he manage to do, was uncovering a little part of his mask, showing his white mouth, and start to drinking the vodka, in its bottle. Few seconds were necessarily for empty the bottle “This thing taste like water…” he sighed “Ok, I will talk.” He cover his mouth.
“… Sawing such a violence moment when I was in my house was one of the nicest moments of my life, it was like watching the movie of 300, just with more death soldiers in the “evil” side, if I can said that; but anyone in Evelestria can call evil Equestria and blame them, who knows how the hell did that war started, but dude, I was happy. Sawing how many soldiers were killed in so many different ways make my ten books of death a little piece of paper… well, the basics ones. But let me introduce the most pony side, and the humorist. I don’t know if you could manage to see, my good friend, Red-Red, but, did you know that a lot of your mates were raped?” he started to laugh “Dude, they tears were so fucking funny. And after they finished, they were executed. Probably you didn’t notice that, you were battling in another part, in my part, I was watching all the game”
Everypony stopped doing their things “But after no more than twenty minutes, the place was the heaven of vultures, I think if I were one vulture, I would probably be fat right now. But I haven’t started in the best part. The animals of Equestria didn’t hear few ponies giving up, wishing a second change. Those ones died with a damn hammer in their ribs. In the moment I thought: Equestria is really the cruel monarchy I heard about. Ten minutes after that, the battlefield was full of deads, Scarlet nearly was one, having her intestines out of the place, I even saw her lungs and heart, for her luck, they were fine. So, I just take her to my house and save her live. That’s all I have to say about that movie, well, the rapes could be better if they weren’t using the blood of their victims, really, is just stupid using that for lubricant, and that’s one of my favorites ideas, those copycats.”
The silence was ruling, nopony talk about that, everypony were shocked, even Celestia. They were stunned after hearing the words of the doctor. Even Scarlet, she didn’t know that part. Alexander look down after hearing what happen to his pals, and the doctor was having fun “Hey, waiter, give me another bottle, but I don’t want an alcohol that taste like water, give me the best shit that Evelestria can make, and you should bring more for those ones, they will need a hard sip.”
Dealing with the devil is something that not everypony should play around with, or at least in this kind of conversation, when you speak as if two goddess were in front of you and you are talking like a demon… Well, that would be something quite enjoyable to watch with some popcorn and soda.
Coming back to the last scene of the last chapter-if that wasn’t so obvious-the stallion who calls himself Gas was explaining about what happened in the last massacre in the battlefield. Nopony was happy with this kind of explanation. Gas looked happy talking about this, Celestia and Sonne were… well, they were in silence, but neither of them showed any kind emotions on their features; they didn’t look shocked in the slightest.
The main six didn’t say shit, but they did look shocked, in contrast to the pricnesses. Fluttershy was trembling with fear after hearing something that she didn’t need or want to hear. The Rarity’s gaze was full of confusion and disgust. RD and AJ were in a similar situation. Pinkie Pie wasn’t disgusted, but she indeed was confused. And of course, Twilight Sparkle, she was the only one of the six that was angry.
Alexander was… sad? Scarlet wasn’t happy after hearing what had happened whit her friend. The couples, Shining Armor and Cadance were shocked, too “Don’t fuck me with that shit!” yelled Scarlet, full of wrath “How that hell we… no, our fucking,” she looked at Celestia “country made a deal with this fuckers after they kill our fucking people!?” Gas laughed after hearing Scarlet being Scarlet “And why the fuck are you laughing at?” she asked nicely “Seriously, what that fuck is your problem? You talked as if you weren’t a pony at all! Do you even know how hard it is losing your fucking friends!?”
“Enough!” Shining Armor toke part of the conversation, trying to put some order “This is not a good place to talk about that!” he looked at Gas “You should take off that mask in front of our highness.”
“No.” Gas simple denied.
“What!?” he asked confused “You should show more respect, take off that mask!” his wife tried to calm him down.
“I’ll take off my mask the day that you have two horns in your head… but, now I am thinking about it,” he looked at Cadance “you don’t have more than two right now? Having a wife like her probably you aren’t enough stallion for her, hehe.”
“Bastard!”
“Shining, please, calm down!” his wife was trying to avoid a fight.
“Why is he angry? If he’s angry, probably I am telling the truth.”
“Silence!” said Twilight Sparkle.
“Weird, I thought Celestia would say that.” Gas murmured to Scarlet.
“How can you talk like that with something so delicate; have you thought that telling something like that could make a mess?” Twilight Sparkle asked “We are in peace, throwing this senseless-“
“Fuck that!” Scarlet yelled “Don’t talk about this kind of shit after hearing one fucking example. Alexander, tell me where the fuck are those soldiers, I will cut their dicks and make them fucking eat it!”
“Enough! Our soldiers aren’t monsters” Shining Amor didn’t hear bad things about his soldiers.
“Ghahahahahaha!” Gas started to laugh, again “How can you prove that?”
“They are soldiers with good friends, good past, we don’t make sick bastards like “those” you were talking about our soldiers.”
“How can you even believe your own shit?” Gas asked with irony “If that’s correct, I swear that I’ve never buried somepony after an error,” he looked at the waiter with some beers “thanks buddy.” He took all the beers, and started to drink them “But I’m telling the truth, I swear for the love of beers, and the unfortunate fact that I can’t get drunk.” He toke other beer.
“Prove it.” Shining Armor’s gaze was like a burning hell.
“Can somepony talk in vulture?” Gas asked.
“Oh, oh!” Pinkie jumped after hearing that question “Fluttershy can talk in vulture, and and, she can talk in any animal language!” Pinkie explained.
“Pinkie!” AJ yelled.
“Oh, really?” the doctor couldn’t believe that “Good lady, that’s good to hear. Hey, Pink-maned one!” he yelled at Fluttershy “You can talk with my friends the vultures, they are nice birds, just don’t try to mess with them with somepony dead, or nearly dead,” he looked at Scarlet “They probably have in their stomach all the dead bodies… wait… no, we can ask them something like that, ’cause they already pooped that. Well, if you want, you can ask them and if you don’t believe them, ask them where they pooped, they always poop in one place… or at least the ones who lives near to my house. Thanks to my goddess that I wear a gas mask when that thing smells like the worse shit…. Until the ground and beetles do its job”
“Gas, isn’t it?” Celestia asked. Everypony was amused after hearing for first time her voice “I see you are an honest pony, but talking about that won’t help this country.”
“Bullshit!” Scarlet yelled.
“Enough, Scarlet. Show more respect, please.” Sonne’s ordered to her loyal soldier, and she didn’t shoot another word.
“Well, Gas, think about how the other ponies feel with this kind of conversation.”
“I don’t care about other ponies feel about this; I don’t even care about the feelings of your people. And I said your people because evelestrians don’t belong any more to Sonne.” Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle didn’t want to say anything for the respect of their goddess.
“They are our friends, our soldiers-“
“Our puppets full of shit.” she blinked after hearing that “Beginning the war is just another move for a tyrant.”
“Equestria did not begin the war.”
“I didn’t say that,” Celestia blinked again, but this time, the others ponies did that too “I said: Beginning the war is just another move for a tyrant. I didn’t say who the hell the one who started it was. But, looking at your reaction, who knows? I think I do, but, hey, don’t be mad at me… ” he burped; ten beers aren’t enough for this guy.
“Wait a freaking second, Gas!” Scarlet couldn’t understand the Gas’s words “What’s your point with all this shit, anyway?!”
“He means that anypony could have started this war, even our goddess.” Alexander, for the first time, said something.
“What!?” Scarlet yelled, Celestia was amazed at Gas’s words. What was he trying to do? “Are you trying to tell me that our goddess, Sonne, was the one who threw the first fucking rock!?”
“Neither.” Gas answered “I didn’t say anything like that.” he gasped “I didn’t say who was or anything like that. Have those words meaning not. You should believe in a doctor who loves dead not. Be in this place I should not. Yes, hmmm.”
“Fuck, Gas, I can’t understand shit.”
“Sorry, my writer was writing like Yoda right now. Well, using the Yodar converter-“ he laughed “Anyway, I’m out, I don’t want to deal with this mess.”
“Are you trying to escape, coward?” Shining Armor yelled.
“Nah, I don’t want to fight with somepony with three horns. Lady, I talk to you in the love hotel, later♥” if he wasn’t wearing that mask, Shining Armor would have watched a blink at Cadance the moment when he was trying to open the door with five beers.
“I can’t take this any longer!” Shining Armor started to run towards Gas. Everypony was shocked after watching this. Gas turned back to watch Shining nearly punching him.
“Sup buddy.” He burped. Nearly in the moment when Shiny tried to punched him, he smells the breath of Gas full of alcohol and other things that he couldn’t imagine, falling to the ground “Dude, are you okay?” he asked with a smile in his face “Anyway, when he wakes up, give him something nice to smell, don’t try the pussy of the pink alicorn, those cats are fucking gross, hehe.” after this, he just left the room. Twilight Sparkle and Cadance run to help Shining Armor, Scarlet was laughing, Alexander was kind of sad, Celestia and Sonne were confused after watching such a scene.
After the doctor’s show, everypony couldn’t eat after that and they went in their separate ways. Scarlet wasn’t satisfied after the Gas’s show, even she was confused. What was the meaning of Gas’s words? She gasped. 01:34 AM, everypony was sleeping, except of course, herself. She was trying to get asleep, but her wish to talk with her goddess was so strong that she started to walk around. The knights of Evelestria at least knew Scarlet, so they let her go. She was thinking about the words that she will use for the beginning of the conversation with Sonne “Miss Sonne… no. My dear goddess Sonne… crap, I need to be more fucking polite.” she murmured “Well… I need to do this… what is that…?” she didn’t believe what she saw through the door -thanks to be a little opened- Sonne and Celestia were talking to each other.
“How can you still wearing that smile, Celestia?” Sonne asked.
“That was not that bad, at least I laughed after that kind of show of that pony.”
“When we going to move to the others kingdoms?” Sonne asked.
Celestia giggled “Sometimes I forget that you are my other half, at least I have a better mouth and will.”
“You might be the “good” one, but at least I am not the bitch full of pride.”
“You are full of pride and very cruel.”
“I used to be part of you, I know who’s proud.”
“What will be our next target?”
“The Griffin Kingdom, they are too neutral.”
“And what will happen with the dragons?”
“They are nothing more than fools.”
“Celestia, you know better than me that they are cancer.”
“No, the cancer died after “that” happened.”
“The problem is that we don’t have a motive to start a war.”
“We can make it; it is far easier than you believe”
“You are a bastard… Well, now that I think about it… does it mean we are both bastards?”
“Indeed.”
Scarlet couldn’t understand what was happening, what were her eyes hearing and eyes watching. She started to run, she was trying to call Alexander for help, but something alarmed her. Some shining spark, was it a beam? She couldn’t see well and she didn’t want to know. She couldn’t fly, some tears were falling, was that her moment? Well, no. A portal opened in the ground, taking her to a place that she couldn’t understand. She was in a cave full of light, full of ponies, zebras and griffons.
“Fuck! That one was close.” a zebra with a spiky mane and sunglasses yelled “Isaac, why you didn’t that early?”
“Lady, I couldn’t go faster ’cause this shit needs preparations.” replied Isabelle, the unicorn.
“Lyra, Bon Bon, check it out, this mare is here.” the zebra yelled again, calling two equestrians, Lyra and Bon Bon.
“Wow, this is incredible, we have her now.” Lyra commented.
“Why didn’t we knock her out in the first place?” Bon Bon asked.
“Nah, that wouldn’t work. She was with that weird doc.”
“Indeed.”
“Wait a fucking minute!” Scarlet yelled in fear “What is this place… where the fuck am I?” she was scared, regardless she tried to sound intimidating.
“You are with friends, lady Scarlet.” a female griffon with pony factions appeared, her wings were silver and black “My name is Kalut, this is the rebellion army’s base. You are safe from the liars my dear.”
“What are you? You don’t look like a normal pony or griffon…!”
“Well, my parents were a pony and a griffon; I am a hybrid, dear. But let us not talk about that. This place is where the truth comes from. We are not liars like your goddess, or I should say the goddess of equestrians?”
“What do you fucking mean?”
“She does mean that this is all about Celestia, she is your goddess right now, or didn’t you see that at the castle?” the zebra asked.
“We are The Dawn of Moon Army, my dear. We are here to free the world, everypony, every griffon and even the dragons from the tyranny of Celestia.” Kalut explained, Scarlet couldn’t understand anything at all, she simply couldn’t.
She didn’t believe what her eyes were watching. Right now, she was thinking that all of this, all this mess and confusion was nothing more than a dream. “Ok, now I need to wake fucking up!” she said, trying to get out of her dream.
Everypony and everybird-or maybe everyponybird-were taking this kind of seriously. Well, few where laughing -with few I mean a lot- in the term that Scarlet was more than shocked by this situation “Why the fuck I can’t wake up in my bed!” she asked with fury, like always.
“Ahmmmmm…” Kalut was trying to figure out how she could explain this kind of situation “Well, just like I have told you before, we are rebels, and-“
“Of course I already heard that shit, the main fucking problem is that this is the worst fucking nightmare in my entire life… well, year.” Kalut’s furrowed her eyebrows after hearing the good mouth of the mare. She sighed.
“Scarlet Nightmare, this is not a dream,” Kalut commented “I wish this hell was a nightmare, but right now; your whole life is a lie.” Kalut’s words were kind; she was trying to have some tact with Scarlet.
“How the hell do you know my name?” she asked “How the fucking hell are you trying to buy me your bullshit?” again, she asked, but this time, she wasn’t shocked.
Kalut sighed after hearing the Scarlet’s questions, but before the moment when she was trying to answer her, the zebra just took her part on the conversation “Hear me, you little fucker,” she took off her sunglasses “The last fucking thing that I wanna know after saving your ridiculous and precious life is simple; of course, if you didn’t remember what happened in the castle.”
She started to approach Scarlet, her gaze was like that of a wild animal, and the most interesting thing were her eyes “If we had wanted to, we’d have left you in that place, dying without any-freaking-pony knowing about what fucking happened. Of course, if they didn’t use your body like a soulless monster.” she spited “You MUST thanks us right now! You MUST fucking thanks Isaac to bring you here, the poor creature is right fucking now exhausted, do you know how hard it’s for her to make that kind of spell!?”
“THE FUCK ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME!?” her forehead was in contact with the zebra forehead.
“THE FUCKING THING THAT I AM TRYING TO TELL IS THAT YOU ARE A FUCKING MORRON THAT DOESN’T EVEN KNOW THAT YOUR QUEEN IS THE CRUELEST BASTARD OF ALL THIS ENTERY LIFE TIME!”
“I WON’T BUY THE FUCKING BULLSHIT!” Scarlet pushed her head.
“OF COURSE YOU WON’T FUCKING BUY IT, WE COULD LET YOU DIE THERE LIKE A FUCKING PIG IN A SACRIFE AFTER GIVING HIM A FREAKING BATH OF BURING OIL; YOUR QUEEN IS CELESTIA, GODDAMMIT!” the zebra pushed. Those words had some effect on the mare.
“What-!?” she couldn’t end her question, because the zebra didn’t end there.
“THIS FUCKING WAR IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FUCKING PLAN TO TAKE OVER THE CONTROL OF ALL THIS WORLD, THE FUCKING CELESTIA JUST DIVIDED HERSELF IN TWO PARTS WHEN OUR GRANDFATHERS FATHERS DIDN’T THINK ABOUT BEING BORN!” she took some air “Don’t make me kick your fucking ass if you are like that with us. I can be a good zebra if you try to hear for a minute,” her tone was changing “just a little moment of your time that we saved. Lyra, please,”
“Roger!” Scarlet was speechless. She couldn’t think about it. Her mind was in blank; but for her, this was only the beginning “Well, well. Sorry for that. Kel’s not like that, she is a good zebra, with a nice heart, but of course she has a hell of temperament.” she was using her magic to levitate a lyre.
“Well, her real name is Halbdukel.” Kalut’s added.
“Haldwhat?”
“Hehe, that is why we call her Kel.” Kalut answered.
“By the way, what the fuck is she doing?”
“She is casting a spell. Can you please moderate your mouth, please?” Scarlet blinked “The last thing we want is that our children hear that kind of language.”
“Wait a fuc-… second. You have kids here?”
“Well, I am not a mother for the moment, but yes, families live here with us.” In the moment when she said “for the moment” was like she was planning; right now, that’s not the problem “Well, I think you must take a deep breath.”
“For what?”
“For the truth” After this words, Lyra’s casted the spell as she sang some song that sounded very happy at the beginning. The lyrics of this song were like dancing -literally, they were dancing- and Scarlet was watching the lyrics dance around her head. The “truth” was like a movie. The “truth” was nothing more than the past. Something that wasn’t written in books; they were always full of lies.
This truthful movie began in the time when two sisters -Celestia and Luna- were ruling the world. The Mistress of The Moon was the best ruler of the two in many expectations. Her sister, Mistress of The Sun, was also a good ruler, but she was nothing more than a tyrant with an unstoppable hunger for power and domination. To obtain these things she used something her sister taught her: love. However, Celestia added her unique touch: a torrent of lies and brainwashing.
The war began in the most unexpected moment. Celestia and her Elements of Harmony sealed the Princess of the Night in the moon. After that, the sun was halved, for the necessity of two alicorns controlling this vast world of magical creatures.
The griffons didn’t know anything about his, but the dragons did, and because of this, they were nearly exterminated… well, the wiser ones. The dragons had always had a great greed that only could be fulfilled with something simple: knowledge, art, and of course, love. Having almost exterminated the wiser dragons, they decided to live the younger ones live. They had to do this; otherwise they would have gotten in serious trouble with a bigger power who resided far, far away.
The world and every single part of it was falling to the abyss of the sun, and now, the most horrendous war in terms of dominations was going to begin in just a year. Well, that was all, or at least all of what Scarlet saw and heard. She was crying; she couldn’t believe it. A part of her wanted to believe, the other part was too confused to try
“How… how do you know all this” she asked. She heard some wings flapping.
“Because I told them the truth, I was there.” Scarlet turned around and saw the owner of the feminine voice that she heard. Her eyes were dilated; this was the first time that she saw a dragon, a golden one. She was enormous, full of grace and beauty “Pardon me for my manners. My name is Garnet; I am just a mere dragon with 2325 years. Let me explain you everything in one simple way, but will take time. Girls, please give her something to sit and feed. She is our guest right now; we must treat her like one.”
At Valhalla
After that night, when the doctor ruined a good dinner, the greatest party in all the times was being celebrated in Valhalla. Everypony was there, equestrians and evelestrians were having fun, even Pinkie Pie was one of the heads of the show -yeah, this was going to be awesome… and a huge mess- and the rest of the main six were there having fun, too. But right now, three little ponies were lost. Well, not exactly lost. AJ and RD lost sight of them, but they can’t be lost because they have a map… I think.
“Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, do you think is a good idea?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“Of course this is a good idea, we’re the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and we must try to find our special talent in this party!” Apple Bloom replied.
“Yep, the problem is: what we should try first?” Scootaloo asked.
“Hey, kids!” somepony yelled, the girls attention were caught “You shouldn’t walk around this place without an adult.”
“Wow!” the girls were amused after watching the pony that had suddenly appeared “A Pony Ranger!” the three said at the same time.
“Hmmm, what?” he looked at himself “Oh, goddammit…” he murmured.
“You’re a Pony Ranger, like in the comics! You fight bad guys and make grass explode every single time you guys make a pose!” Apple Bloom said, her eyes were shining, like the others girls.
“I have a great idea!” Scootaloo added “We should try to be… The Cutie Mark Rangers! Our special talent will be Pony Rangers and we will protect the world with a super awesome suit like that one!” the other two were amused about this idea, the red Pony Ranger was muted, until finally couldn’t contain the laughter any longer.
“Oh, hahahah, this is good!”
“What’s so funny?” Apple Bloom asked.
“It’s nothing. You remind me of somepony I just met some time ago.”
“Really?” Sweetie Belle asked “They were like the Cutie Mark Crusaders?”
“Cutie what?”
“Cutie Mark Crusaders, we are on a special quest to find our Cutie Marks!” Apple Bloom explained.
“Hahahaha! Yep, you were like them.”
“Really?! did they get their special talent after their great crusade!?” Scootaloo asked, her eyes were like fireflies “Can you helps us, Red Pony Ranger, to get our Cutie Marks!?”
“Yeah, please, we can fight evil!” Apple Bloom started to throw some punches. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were already imagining everything. They were side by side with the Red Pony Ranger. Scootaloo was the Black Ranger, Apple Bloom was the Blue one and finally Sweetie Belle was the Pink Ranger. They posed, and just like in the comic, the grass exploded. But let me remind you: this was just their imagination.
“Wait a second!” imaginary Scootaloo shouted “I want to be the blue one; right hand of the Red Ranger, the second leader!”
Sweetie Belle was shocked for a single reason “How can we argue in Apple Bloom’s imagination?” she asked.
“I don’t even know how the heck I got here.” The red stallion commented “Well, let’s go back to reality.”
Now, going back to reality “Now, let’s go and kick bad guys!” Scootaloo was excited about the idea to be a Pony Ranger.
The Red Ranger didn’t want to break the little filly’s hopes. He didn’t want to cancel his favorite show, or at least one of his favorites kids show “Sorry, but you can’t be rangers,” they looked at him with those puppy eyes, those beautiful puppy eyes foals usually pull with mastery “we don’t have more room for colors, and we don’t want more mixed colors, with the green one is enough.”
“But isn’t Pink a mixed color?” Sweetie asked.
“Pink is an exception, like black and white. Black is the union of all colors and white is the absence of colors, they are neutral in others words; pink is just a lighter shade of red, sorry girls.”
“Awwwwwww” they sighed. The red stallion was happy, because he didn’t broke their hearts… or that was what he thought “Let’s go, we need to find our special talent in another place.”
“Wait!” he stopped the girls “Why you don’t try to get your cutie marks playing all the games around this party? Nopony knows if you three could be game testers.” this could be a good idea, and at the same time could by a bad one; but thanks to the Pony Ranger Custom, the girls won’t follow the number one rule of adult: never talk with strangers. The party was fun for the four of them; they were playing games until evening arrived.
“It’s a shame that we...” Scootaloo bit her cotton candy “… couldn’t find our special talents.”
“But at least we had fun! Red Pony Ranger, thank you!” Sweetie said.
“By the way, you haven’t told us yer name yet.” AB said.
“A Pony Ranger must protect his secret identity!” Scootaloo commented.
“It’s ok, girls. You can call me like everypony does: Gas.”
The three girls gasped in unison after that surprise “No way!” the three said at the same time “Why?” AB asked.
“It’s ok, is not a big deal, you deserved it,” the girls were happy to hear that, a great hero telling them his name “By the way, aren’t your parents worried about you?” after this question, the three smiles fell down to shock “Did I said something wrong?”
“Oh dear Celestia! Rarity will be furious!”
“Ya really think yer the only one with trouble? Applejack’s gonna kill me! I’m done! I’m done!”
“No! Rainbow Dash will be upset and disappointed at me!”
“Must. Control. Laughter” he thought, but instead of laughter, a sigh came “Well, let’s just try to find them… Wait a second. Rarity and Rainbow Dash… I think I know them”
“Really, do you know Rainbow Dash?” Scootaloo asked.
“Nah, false alarm. Haven’t heard of them at all. Well, let’s go girls.” After those words, the game to find somepony who was trying to find that somepony to (just stop writing that) wasn’t easy to play. But at least one of them found them; she was flying around
“Hmmmmmmm…” Gas was deciding whether he should just run away like a criminal or just try to act normal “Nah, I will only hear the: ‘Who the hell are you’. In that case I probably won’t get smashed into the ground.” he thought.
The mare’s speed was incredibe, she was as fast as a jet! “Hey, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle!” she called the girls “You have no idea in the kind of trouble you have just gotten yourselves…” she looked at Gas “Who the heck is this weirdo?”
“At least she didn’t say ‘hell’” Gas murmured for himself.
“He’s cool pony, he tried to help us find our special talent, but we failed” Sweetie Belle replied.
“He is the great Red Pony Ranger, Gas!” Scootaloo shut her mouth after saying his name “Wait. I shouldn’t tell the name a Pony Ranger!”
“It’s ok, that doesn’t bother me.” Indeed, he wasn’t bothered about that, but something in the mind of Rainbow Dash hit her after hearing that name -a flashback in few words- remembering the guy who’s name was Gas.
“Oh Celestia!” she yelled “Girls, you were talking with this jerk!?”
“Yeah, he’s a nice guy. He plays with us all this time, and was fun.” Scootaloo was happy in the moment when he told everything that happened with Gas. Rainbow didn’t believe that; she thought that Gas was nothing more than a dumbass.
“Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom. Rares and AJ are worried; and they won’t be happy at all to hear that you were hanging around with this jerk.”
“But-“ Sweetie Belle couldn’t end the sentence.
“Sweetie, AB, Scootaloo, don’t worry about that, go and try to do that sad puppy face with your parents, probably they won’t punish you… that hard.”
“And who are you to tell them what to do?”
“I am just a friend.”
“No, you’re not their friend, you just a crazy pony!”
“Lady, I don’t know who that heck are you, but they can be the friends of your worst foe , so, I don’t want to bother you.”
“Bother me? You were a jerk last night, you made Shining’s be junk for a mouth!”
“That dude has a sensible nose? Hahahahahaha, that poor bastard.”
“See? You are a jerk… wait, you don’t who the heck I am?”
“Nope, I don’t know who the heck are you.”
“I am Rainbow Dash, I was in that dinner the last night, you don’t even remember this great pegasus?”
“Nope… wait… I think you were one of the Elements of Harmony… but, meh. My attention was in the bears, and no offense, but I have never known about a blue pony named Rainbow Dash.” If he telling the truth of is lying like always? Who knows? That conversation was kind of troublesome, but for now that’s not important.
“So… you mean that… I am one key to end the war and free Luna?” Scarlet was amused after all she heard, that conversation took hours, but for her were minutes. She was indeed amused at the funny flow of time.
“Indeed.” Garnet answered.
“Why me?”
“One of our ponies has a special talent to predict probabilities that could help in something; you are a 25% of probability to win the world, and we are only a 15%.”
“25 + 15… we got only 40%, them, we are still losing.”
“Indeed, but, there is somepony that would help us; he is an outstanding 40%.” Scarlet was shocked after hearing that “We don’t know what makes him that special.”
“And who is that pony?”
“The one who saved your life, that enigmatic pony that is always hiding his face without reason.” “No… no fucking way!” Kalut glared at Scarlet “Haha, sorry. And why that jerk?”
“We do not know, we are waiting for Isaac, that poor creature needs some rest until she is prepared to cast another spell.”
This was interesting. Why Gas has that 40%? He was only a crazy doctor that only wanted to be drunk or waste his time, or maybe not?
The mare was indeed angry at Gas, she didn’t hear the voices of the little crusaders, and the only thing that her head was processing was: he’s a bad guy. And in a sense, she was right, Gas was a bad guy, doing what he done in the last reunion and how he reacted at the Twilight Sparkle’s brother. Now, he was with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, three troublesome kids with a tendency of always attracting problems, and Gas was the problem they had attracted this time… or maybe it was Rainbow Dash?
“Well, this must be my time to go to the…” he turned around, trying to walk away, but the mare speed in air was incredible “How can I help you, Rainbow… Day?”
“It’s Dash, Rainbow Dash!”
“Yeaaaaah, but, before you say anything; aren’t Rarity and Applejack worried about their children?” he asked, but the most comical thing was that, he believed that Rarity and Applejack were the crusader’s parents, or at least two of them.
“They aren’t their parents, they… what I am talking with you about that?” she asked herself “What were you doing with them?”
“We told you, Rainbow Dash. He was just playing with us and trying to help us finding our special talent.” Scootaloo tried to protect the masked stallion.
“Yeah!” Apple Bloom commented “He’s a good guy!”
“Girls, please, there is no problem.” Gas said “You are good girls, so please, don’t be worried about me, I have a terrible luck, and a terrible writ… I mean, fate, so, let me end this right now” he look at Rainbow Dash.
“What are you looking at, jerk?”
“I am just looking at a mare that should be right now with her friends, telling them that their children are safe and they were just playing around, if you want, you can tell them that you were playing with them at… I don’t know, the moment that you were trying to finding them?” he started to thinking “Meh, that would have worked if you had been searching for them earlier. Anyway, please, let me go in peace and I promise that you will never see my face around here.”
“I wish I could agree to that, but, Twilight told me that Princess Celestia is calling you.”
“Wait… what?”
Valhalla Castle The most surprised pony after this notice was Twilight Sparkle; she didn’t believe that her teacher, Princess Celestia, was calling that stallion named Gas. She wasn’t expecting that “How can I help you, Celestia?” he asked “Right now I should be at home… or trying to get drunk.”
“Gas, I don’t want to bother you, but, can you please try to use the princess when you are speaking with her.”
“No.” he answered without thinking twice “She might be a princess, but I call her like I want, so, please, don’t bother me.” He changes his vision to the two princesses “Please, my time is vodka.”
“Gas, do you know where Scarlet Nightmare is?” Celestia asked nicely, without getting upset for the treatment she received from the masked hero.
“My little Scarlet… I miss her so much, we don’t know where she is, and the only thing that we know is that you are her doctor, can you tell us anything that could help us?” Sonne asked with some preoccupation in her voice, indeed she was the one who always loved her little ponies.
“I don’t know anything that could help you. Last time I had a nice chat with her was before that particularly beautiful dinner. And our chat was so nice that she kicked me in the jaw.” he sighed “She was only trying to get here and talk to Sonne. Wether she managed or to accomplish what she wanted, well, I feel sorry, but It ain’t my problem.”
“Wasn’t she your patient?” Twilight Sparkle asked.
“Indeed, she was my patient, but she’s not my patient anymore, so, she is no my problem anymore either.” He looked at the two goddess “So, deal with you own problems, because I am nothing more than another unlucky bastard here.”
“I understand. But, before you go, do you want to play a little game with my precious student Twilight Sparkle?” she asked nicely, Twilight blinked after she heard what “It is just a simple chess game.”
“Okay, I don’t have a problem with that kind of game, I like chess, but I promise you,” he looked at Twilight Sparkle “this will end soon.” Twilight’s face showed her interest at having a great challenge, or maybe that’s why she thought that, she was a great champion of chess since she was a little girl, the only one who could smash her on the ground was Princess Celestia.
Gas played first with the white ones. In only two moves Twilight managed to win the game “Well, I gotta go home.”
“Wait!” Twilight Sparkle yelled “Why did you let me win the game?” she asked, everypony was surprised, except of course for the two princesses, they already knew what was happening “That was the Fool’s Mate, the quickest way to end a chess game.”
“What are you talking about; I lost because I am bad in chess.”
“You are lying. I demand another game.” Gas sighed after hearing those words “I can believe that a doctor lost a simple game of chess with the most popular way to win newbie players.”
“Okay, but under one condition.”
“And what is that condition?”
“You must answer some questions, history and magic, those questions are really simple-well, for me they were a hell-“
“I don’t have problems with questions like that, I would be glad to answer them”
“Good, well, white or black?”
“Black.”
Gas make his first move “In the Griffon Civil War some evidence was found which involves Equestria in some dealings, can you tell me which are them?”
“Supplies and medicine.” When she answered, she moved another piece. Gas didn’t care to tell if the question was right or not.
“Nice, in the first book of magic, who was its writer and the spell, them, tell me what was his first use of that spell.”
“Aztarof Sky, creator of the teleporting spell. He managed to deal with economic problems and made better options in terms of transportation of objects, but not anypony could use it.”
"You are a nice player, by the way. Who painted "Goodbye My Lady" and what is the meaning behind it?"
"Sir Puffly Tail painted it. He symbolized his farwel to her goddess, Princess Luna. The next day he was found dead, the causes are still unkown. Novels have been inspired from this painting and changed ever since. By the way, thank you."
"Why was Luna sealed in the moon?"
"Because her jealousy created an evil creature named herself Nightmare Moon who represented a threat to Equestria, claiming she wanted to submerge it into eternal darkness; in other words, she wanted to bring an eternal night"
“Well, this game is nearing its end.”
“Indeed, was quite interesting.”
“Well, before I move, let me ask you something, you are happy being Celestia’s student?”
“More than happy, without her, probably I would be another unicorn with a normal magic level” Gas sighed “Something wrong?”
The stallion didn’t answered, he only moved one piece “Checkmate.” the place was completely in silence, Twilight Sparkle couldn’t believe what she heard, she was watching any position, but, indeed, was a checkmate, Gas was the second pony to defeat Twilight Sparkle in a simple game of chess.
“How?” she asked, still amused.
“Hmm? I only won because I was lucky, nothing more than that… and the answers… well, I give you a 3 out of 10.”
“Why a 3 out of 10!? I gave you all the right answers!”
“Indeed, but those answers were incomplete and one of them was incorrect. Please, the next time that you answer something, do it completely.” He sighed, he turned around and started to walk towards the exit.
“Wait.” Celestia said “It’s the first time I’ve seen anypony wining against my faithful student in chess… are you interested in a match against me?” Gas stopped and looked at Celestia.
“Ok, Celestia, but only one more and no more problems, ok?”
“I promise you that, but, with only one condition.”
“And that is?”
“If you lose, you will show me your face.”
“Ok.”
The game started, Celestia was using the white ones and Gas the black ones, he was just there, sitting in his chair, watching Celestia’s first move while he was using that Pony Ranger costume. Few turns passed, and one of Gas’s moves surprised everypony, not for being incredible, but for being incredibly risky and “Moving your king is not always a good idea.”
“A leader must be in front of his people, if he tries to protect himself with his soldiers, he is nothing more than a coward.” Gas’s words were interesting, because Celestia’s king was well protected by her pieces. Was it an indirect or only what he thought? Anyway, the game was quite interesting, five minutes pasted and they didn’t lose one of their pieces… They seemed to be preparing for the real game. Gas moved one of his pieces, making a smile come from Celestia “Bad move.”
“Indeed, it was a bad move, but, meh.” nopony was talking about this, they were only watching the game, first time that a pony could survive 15 minutes with Princess Celestia before losing the field.
“You are quite interesting, Gas. Do you have a master?”
“Nope, my master is dead.”
“Sorry for making you remember something like that”
“Nah, I thank you instead, you reminded me something about him and his moves in chess.”
“He was good?”
“The best, that bastard was the best chess player. I couldn’t defeat him, and he was too damn good.”
“I wish I could have played with him, then…”
He didn’t respond about that, he was just thinking.
“Is there any problem, Gas?”
“…Hmmm? Sorry, I was thinking about one move…” if he wasn’t wearing that helmet, anypony could have seen a smile on his face “Well, let’s do this.” After those words, he moved one piece.
“Interesting move, but is too reckless.”
“Maybe, but, hey, this game is fun.” the stallion started to moves his legs, like he was using all the energy he has in those legs.
“Check.” After hearing that, Gas moved another piece “Gas, can you tell me how old you are?”
“I have more than 30… I think, I don’t remember my birthday… if I had one. The kids in the orphanage always create they own birthdays.”
“You’re adopted?”
“Kind off, if I had a father, he would be my bastard master.”
Half-hour had passed, the game was in his peak, this was the longest game Celestia had ever had in years, but it was clear that Celestia was winning once again “I think this is the end, Gas.”
“Indeed… Celestia, would you like a Tie or a Win?”
“Of course I would rather win! A tie is not always a good choice, much less if we are talking about chess” He sighed and moved another piece.
“Checkmate. Now, I will go home” Celestia was shocked, this was the first time in millenniums that she had lost a chess game, Twilight Sparkle believe believe what she was seeing.
“How… The Chinese Dragon Mate!?” first time she yelled “But…” she couldn’t believe what she was seeing, that was a Mate created by a Chinese Dragon, an old friend of Celestia, the first and only one that could defeat her in chess with a move that you couldn’t predict, unless you knew it in the right moment, but she wasn’t prepared for that move “Gas!” she yelled again, it was the first time that she broke her composure in a long time. Sonne was amused, for two specials reasons.
“If you want another game, no thanks, you promised that you wouldn’t bother me again, and I need to get home… Goddamit, I can’t believe that old bastard’s move works…” he murmured for himself.
“Wait…” she returned to be like she is always “Gas, please, can you tell me who taught you that move?”
“That is not important, the dude that taught me that trick is now buried in the ground, I buried him with my own hooves.” After those words, he left.
“Princess Celestia… how could he… and what is the Chinese Dragon Mate?” she looked at the chess table, but she couldn’t understand that kind of move, the only thing that she could see was something like… “Oh, this looks like astronomy, and its looks like a Chinese Dragon, I get it!” she was amused “Fist time that I see this move, I need to learn how something like this is possible.”
“Twilight Sparkle, my precious student and my little ponies, can you please call Gas again? I need to talk to him about some important matters” they were confused after hearing that. In a few minutes, the room was empty except for the two goddesses.
“How could that bastard have managed to defeat you?” Sonne asked.
“Remember, we lose against that exact same move and the only one who knew it millenniums ago. We saw his corpse.”
“But how could have that masked bastard known it?”
“I do not know, but we need to ask him.”
“If he doesn’t answer, we punish him... Or maybe he is just a genius.”
“No, a genius he is not, but he knows more than it seems. We must know who he is and how he knows this much. He could represent a serious threat to our plans…” After those words, five minutes passed, Twilight Sparkle entered to the room running.
“Princess Celestia, Princess Sonne, we can’t seem to find Gas anywhere!”
Dawn of The Moon Cavern
“I need a drink… I must… wait… what that hell!?” he yelled at the moment when he saw the ground, it wasn’t the ground of a castle… or even Valhalla “Where the hell I am!?”
“Hey you, asshole!”
“That voice… and that swearing… Red-Red?” that indeed was Scarlet Nightmare with the rebels and Garnet.
“Cool, a dragon.”
“Are not you surprised?” Garnet asked.
“Nah, I don’t fear dragons, they look more normal to me than ponies… anyway, can I ask you something? Where the heck I am?”
“Greetings, Mr. Gas,” Kalut’s waved “my name is Kalut and you are in the Dawn of The Moon base, we are rebels.”
“Oh my god, that is a freaking griffon or a freaking pony!?” he yelled with fear.
“You are not afraid of dragons, but you scream in horror when you see a half griffon?” she asked nicely.
“Nah, I’ve seen too many things in my life; I was kidding. By the way, why the hell I am here?”
“Before we answer that, who was your master? No one in millenniums has defeated Celestia in a chess game, you must be a genius.” Gas started to laugh.
“Dude, I am not a genius, I suck in math and I won’t talk about my grammar, I don’t know how the hell I finished my studies but I can tell you this, I won that game because Aaron taught me that move.” Garnet blinked at that name.
“Aaron… that is the name of a master… The greatest master of knowledge and arts. The Chinese Dragon, Aaron.“
“Weird name for a Chinese, though.”
“But, I thought he passed away.”
“Indeed, he passed away few years, like I said, I buried him after I… forget about that, and the thing is, why the heck I am in this place?”
“Incredible… Aaron was alive… and he taught you… I have so many questions for you and your knowledge,” Gas sighed deeply “Oh, sorry, you are here because you are a special pony for os. Arc, the pony with the special talent of probabilities says that you are a 40% for winning the war… and we have 40% right now, with you, we are 80% for freeing Princess Luna!” after hearing this explanation, Gas started to laugh, but this time, really hard.
“What is so funny, you freak?” Scarlet asked, but them, Kalut looked at her with a deadly gaze.
“I am only a 5%, my lady;” they took a deep breath after hearing this “the other 35% must be referring to the Endless Book, a book that has every existent and not existent spell. You must be looking for one if you want to free Luna.”
“Yes, that’s the one! Do you have it!?” Kel asked, she was so happy about hearing that they could free Luna with a spell.
“Nope, I left that book in my old house… or hell, Dragon’s End, the realm of dragons.”
“Dragon’s End… I have never heard about that place.” Garnet commented.
“Because you are alive, Dragon’s End is a place that only the dead know about… Oh, and few living, if can consider them living things, but that is not the point. The easiest way to go to that place is dying… and the other one is walking through hell itself.”
Two mares… well, I don’t know if you can count Kalut as a mare, she was indeed 60% pony and 40% griffon. Anyway, avoiding that writer decision problem; two mares were having a nice conversation, drinking some tea. I don’t know why, but this reminds me of 2 mares and 1 cup… I shouldn’t write that.
Before the interesting conversation, you must know one thing: after the arrival of Gas, the things didn’t change too much. He was talking with Garnet, unfortunately, this was a hell for the masked stallion to talk about studies and science… especially all the information about Dragon’s End and The Endless Book. He said something weird; they should wait at least one or two weeks before starting the adventure/quest to free Luna. Asides from all those things, he didn’t work as a doctor for them… he just preferred to play with children instead of working as a responsible stallion (am I using the word “responsible” with Gas?)
“Scarlet, can you talk to me about yourself a little more?” Kalut asked with some curiosity “Besides, everypony… everygriffon and zebra has a tale about their past.” she slurped some tea.
“Hmmmmm… where should I start?” she murmured to Kalut. Scarlet’s face was kind of funny when she started to thinking about her past.
“Hehe. Well, I should use the correct question to make you talk about yourself without thinking too much,” she slurped “Why you are a soldier? Well, you were one, but, you get it, right?”
“Oh, that’s easy!” she reacted after hearing the question “Well… where should I start?” Kalut sighed she even used a facepalm (not a facehoof. She doesn’t have hooves) “What?”
“Just tell me…” Kalut’s stopped, she started to thinking like a soldier… oh well, like Scarlet “You should tell me what is so awesome about being a soldier, give me some hints, come on, do not be a bad mare and show me what it is to be an Evelestrian soldier!” her face’s changed, like an excited pony.
Instead of reacting like Kalut thought, Scarlet was shocked, making an uncomfortable smile “Hehe… Well…”
The story is a living cliché. I am just a mare with a dream, being like my grandmother, that’s what I always wanted. The right hand of my princess, Sonne. Or may I say Celestia? Anyway, I just dreamed to be like my grandmother. Do heroes things, watch dreamers like me trying to be like me… I don’t know if that makes sense. By the way, I just tried so hard, but I always have being outclassed by the unicorns, I hate unicorns… well, I hated them. Fortunately, I meet a good friend. He was special… in too many ways. His name is Alexander, a unicorn; well, ex-unicorn. He doesn’t have a horn anymore, he lost it, thanks to me. In one mission, I made a great fail, losing so many friends, and to avoid the punishment, he protected me, and… well. He never told me how he lost his horn, but I do know now. His horn was cut by Sonne’s soldiers. He never blamed me about that… I don’t wanna know how I could’ve ended without his help… I can’t imagine myself without my wings, and he was always being kind with me.
After that, a few months later, the war started. I was excited, trying to defending my family and my mother country. We were killed like ants. I thought my end was near, but… that little bastard, Gas, he saved my life. I always thought that he was a bastard, but now I know that he is the freaking key to free Princess Luna… I know this crazy bastard is hiding something. I have a… who is called? Mare’s instinct? Feminine-whatever. We don’t know when we’re gonna move to that Dragon’s End. The only thing that I want is to kick some equestrian asses… and save Luna, of course!
“D’awwww, you have a nice tale, dear.” “What’s with that face?”
“What with what face?”
“Don’t be a silly goat, you are smiling; why?”
“Oh…” she took another sip of her tea “… you are an interesting pony, with an interesting tale and dream. I liked you story, dear.”
“And what about you?” she asked “I told you my past. It’s your turn. Talk me all about yourself”
Kalut’s spitted some of her tea after hearing that. She wasn’t prepared to answer that “Ehehehehe…”
“Kalut…”
“Ok, fine. But please, do not fall asleep”
“Why I would I fall asleep, Kalut?”
I born in Grifferion, a little village, but was quite popular. I was the youngest of my mother’s children, the twelfth. Female griffin, by tradition, are usually chosen to be the warrior… well, we are the ones with claws in the house. The male griffons always do house work, but we always have time for our children, quite interesting, is it not? We’ve always loved to be pregnant, carrying our children in our womb, it is just so beautiful… of course, I have never been pregnant in my life, and I think I will never be.
In one of our expeditions, we found Garnet in this place. That was so many years ago. She told me and my friends the truth. We talked with some ponies, we traveled to new places; we even found Kel in one of our journeys. She even saved us one time. After that, we traveled to Equestria. It was a nice place. We meet Bon Bon and Lyra. I was kind of jealous of them. I don’t believe how we managed to make them join our party… now that I think about it, there was something about marriage...
Kalut was really excited, telling her tale to Scarlet. Instead of sleeping, Scarlet was listening to every word Kalut spoke. Unfortunately, she wasn’t catching certain insinuations Kalut was making in her stories; this was just Scarlet being Scarlet. Anyway, avoiding Kalut’s insinuations, and the fact that she was hiding something, the two mares kept having fun, talking about their past and other things; like how to clean the blood on a spear.
“Hey, Scarlet.”
“Hmmm?”
“Alexander is your boyfriend?”
Scarlet was shocked after hearing that question. Few seconds later, she started to laugh “No fucking way, he is my best friend, and he will be my best friend forever. Either way, right now I am not into stallions.” she crossed her legs after thinking about her situation with stallions. Kalut released a sigh of relief after hearing that, like a heavy weight had been lifted off her shoulders.
“Why did you sigh?”
“I did not sigh.”
“Yes, you did.”
“No, I did not!”
“Ok, fine!”
Meanwhile, our dearest mare, the one who has the power to teleport other ponies, Isaac, was having an interesting conversation with our masked doctor and Kel.
“Good sir, can I ask you something?”
“What, Kel?”
“Why you don’t work with the other doctors?”
“Yeah, ya should help us, people get sick sometimes.”
“Please, writer. I beg you, please, change this freaking conversation, I beg you. Make them talk about something important, like Dragon’s End or my freaking mask, I don’t want to talk about job, not now.” he thought “Well, the answer is easy. I don’t like to work with other ponies, either way; I’m not a good doctor.”
“Yer not a good doctor?” Isaac asked surprised “Ya saved Scarly’s life. You beat Celestia in chess, yer smart!”
“She’s true, Shaman.” she took some wine “We indeed to have good shamans; ones that can save the life of somepony losing their blood and guts in the battlefield.”
“Goddamit, really, writer, I’ll kick your ass. Dude, save me, please, I don’t want to have a conversation like this one. Don’t you have a better idea?” he thought for few seconds “Oh no, wait! I prefer this conversation; I know what you’re thinking now. Don’t even try to let me talk with her; I don’t want another conversation with that dragon!”
“Doc?”
“Oh, sorry!” he laughed “I was just solving little problems in my head. Anyway. I don’t want to work because my hoofs are bad, I don’t even know how did I manage to heal her. I think it was just luck.”
Kel laughed “Shaman. I am a shaman too, and I know how critical it’s to save a life in that kind of situation,” she took another drink “and you, my friend, you are a professional.”
“Yep, but I don’t think that he should stop playing with our children either. This is the first time in months that mah little Ruby plays with someone.”
“Nah, the problem with your child is that he is too shy. The other problem in this place is that feminine population is bigger than male. He would like to play with girls, too. But, damn, he is too shy-don’t forget about the stress-. You need to talk with others mothers and fathers to make their children play with him… and, especially with Al’s parents.”
“Al? Alphonse? What happened with her?”
“Your child might have some attraction to those claws, if you know what I mean, hehehehehehe.” Gas’s imagination was a little twisted, but, he has some imagination. But this writer won’t talk about that.
“Shaman, you’re a father?”
“I wish.”
“Really, doc, you do really like children. You would be a good father.”
Gas sighed “Something wrong, Shaman?”
“Nah, is not really important. Anyway, I can’t be a father, but I wish I could be one.” he sadly commented “Now that I think about it, writer, thanks for changing the freaking conversation.” he thought again, thinking as if he was another chapter in a book or something like that “It’s a fic.”
Isaac has some curiosity after the sad comment “And why you can’t, doc?”
“Well, I’ll explain it to you: I was born without the ability to have children. No more than that. Please, don’t talk about adoption, I love adoption, giving a kid a good father or mother but, I think I wouldn’t be a good father. Maybe in my next life.”
Kel and Isaac felt bad after remembering the doctor something like “Shaman… what is Dragon’s End like?” she asked, trying to change the conversation subject.
“Yeah, tell us how it’s!”
“Dragon’s End… It’s a beautiful place. It has technology, knowledge… and peace. They do not kill each other, quite the opposite; they love each other. It’s a place to live forever,”
“And why did you leave that place, Shaman?”
“Well it IS a good place… until you realize you have to study with some smartasses. Ugh… trying not to stay behind in my studies… living like a hermit… Wait, I do like live like that, sometimes. And other things that I don’t wanna remember; I hate that place so much! And even more for a lazy stallion like me… I need exercise…” both girls started to laugh so hard after hearing Gas’s words “What’s so funny?”
“Come on, hahahahahaha! Keep talkin’ about Dragon’s End, hahahahaha!”
“It’s a place full of freaking dragons, that’s all what you need. Now, writer, change the point of fucking views.”
Meanwhile, Pinkie’s making Fluttershy read a good comic name Happy Three Friends.
Few days after that “Thanks, but was that part was necessary?”
“G, why you are talking with the sky?” Ruby asked.
“I am talking with my writer. Technically, he is your writer, too… anyway, forget about that. Do you like your birthday gift?”
“Yeah, I love Stallions in Black! And thanks for the eyeglasses, too. They make me look like a Stallion in Black!”
“I am happy to hear that. Anyway isn’t it today the party in Al’s house?”
“Yeah… but I don’t wanna go.”
“Dude, really, why wouldn’t you want to go?”
“There are too much people, and I don’t feel ready to be in that place. “ Gas grabbed Ruby “Hey, what are you doing!?”
“Taking you to the party.”
“Please, writer, make him stop!”
“Hey, I am the only one who is allowed to break the fourth wall!”
Kalut’s House
“Kalut, isn’t that Gas?” Scarlet asked.
“Yeah… and why is he grabbing Isaac’s son?”
“Where the buck is Isaac? She would laugh at this.”
“Let me go!” Ruby yelled and at the same time, kicking.
“Omph!“ Gas was kicked “Nope, I won-!” another kick to his mask “Damn, Ruby. You have nice legs, you kick better than Scarlet.”
“Really?”
“No, but at least you stoppe-“
“Ruby?” a little hybrid of pony and griffon called “You came! I thought you wouldn’t come to the party!”
“Damnit, G!” Ruby murmured to Gas.
“You should use a better language, kid.” he murmured, too.
“Sorry, but you taught me that!”
“What are you both talking about? Oh, and you look cool in that suit, Ruby.”
Like anypony with at least half of Fluttershy’s shyness, he was scared. He started to sweat “G, please, help me!”
“Fine!” he started to walk “This little devil is yours, play with him, and don’t let him go. He is to damn shy, but he really likes Al” he looked at Ruby “I am trying to protect you against the F-zone. Anyway,” speaking again with Al “Play with him, use a rope or anything to avoid his escape; really, just bind him.”
“Pfhahahahahhaha, you are so funny, Gasy. Like always,” she just couldn’t stop laughing at Gas and Ruby.
“This is soooooooo bad, G….”
“Yep, help me bind him.” OK, that was a great surprise; even Gas couldn’t predict something like that, even reading the mind of his writer-well, yelling at his writer, one must take his rights into account- “And happy birthday, Ruby!”
“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.” Gas was laughing so hard after this. Few minutes later, he was watching a happy hybrid with her pet… I don’t think that’s illegal “Oh, well. I must call Isaac, she’ll be happy after watching you both having fun. After that, I’ll try to get drunk while watching some cartoons… I mean… my hallucinations while I am watching the stars.”
“Gas, why don’t you have a nice time with us?” Scarlet asked “You’re always playing with those kids, but you always avoid us, why?”
“I am not a good person in parties, I don’t have any social skills.”
“Hey, that’s mah line, G!”
Gas sighed “You know… I must call Isaac, she will laugh at this.”
“Hey, wait!”
“Let him go, darling. He is just being himself.” Kalut commented.
“Writer, you must take us to the best part of this, nopony like this… I think. Anyway, can you use your writer powers to teleport me to… Oh, thanks.” He stopped at the house of Isaac “Hey, Isaac, your son is having fun with Al, I think they are doing bondage!” he emphasized the word bondage “I think its normal being at that age!”
“Hi, doc!” she greet “Where is mah Ruby?”
“You didn’t hear me, didn’t you?”
“Nope, I was makin’ some exercise. I thought mah little Ruby was with you. Where is he?”
He made a deep sigh “In the Al’s party…”
“Oh, I can believe it!”
“Of course you can’t, you know him better than me. By the way, Ruby has good kicks.”
“Yeah, he practices every day. He dreams to be a great hero.” she laughed happily “Anyway, you’ll stay at the party tonight?”
“Nah.”
“Why?”
“I am bad at parties. I always sit in a place with solitude and try to get drunk. By the way, where’s Derpy?”
“I thought she was at the party. Gas, you should stay with us and have some company.”
“Meh, really. I prefer to stay alone; the solitude is good for me. I don’t want to be a problem with you.
“Hmmmmmmm……”
“Well, I left you here, have fun with your friends and laugh with your boy. Now, if you excuse me, I need to get drunk.” Gas turned around and starts to walk straight to his edge.
“In that case…” Isaac took a rope and catch Gas binding his legs “… I have to make you come.” she started to walk to the house will carry on the stallion-damn, she’s strong-
“Why do I think this is too familiar?” he thought “Seriously, girl. Don’t do this to me, I’ll be bored.”
After that, the situation was kind of funny, even Ruby was laughing at Gas. Especially, talking about something called “Karma”.
One month after Gas and Scarlet arrived to the base.
Ponies, Changelings, Griffons and hybrids. What a great combination in a rebel team with more than 10,000 friends. But, fortunately, they will only need 300 “Why 300?” because is the Gas number of luck “It is not. That’s a good movie, but not a favorite number” anyway, he was wearing his Stallions in Black costume, with his rebels friends “Ok, everybody-I used the body because we are not only ponies-this will be a hell of journey to Dragon’s End. First, anybody that fears death and love their children…” he stopped “Get the fuck out of this. If you fear death, the best thing that you can do is helping others in this place, after we arrive -if we manage to do something like that- then, I will talk with you about the great finale.” he took a deep breath “Derpy, you come with us. I need to talk with you about something important.”
“Roger!”
“Anyway, if anybody afraid of death and blablabla?” nobody said anything “Kidding, I know you are afraid of death in the deepest part of your heart, but I promise you that IF we don’t fuck it, maybe we will survive. Now, them… TO THE PHANTOM FOREST MY FRIENDS!”
