> The Spider's game. > by TwoPie > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > To strike harmony with a changeling. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5/3/2031 A special day. hello again, for the 73rd time in these so far, 2 months ive been writing this. This is Two Pie. Today is my 16th birthday. yes, i made it to my sweet 16. or, what was supposed to be sweet. so far, there have been rumors of an uprising against the queen. yes, the queen of equestria, arachnid. i wouldn't mind an anarchy, the only thing i wish for right now is some sun. its been winter for long enough, about 3 straight months past February. every pony has tried to pull a winter wrap up, but it just wont happen. it all gets cleaned up for one and noe single night, then the next day "BOOM!" its a blizzard... i suspect that if i can just get to twilight's library one of these days i can find some back story to equestria- The door slammed open to Two Pie's room. it was his mother, and none other than the once sweet and caring, now hardened and brittle, yet still fun filled, pinkie pie. "Two Pie! Quick! you gotta get to the cellars! changeling guards are at the door wanting to search the house, and bakery for anypony who can be in the guard!" " I'm way ahead of you ma!" within two seconds, twopie ran out of his room, sprung down the stairs, and shut the cellar door behind him, where he hid behind the flag of New-Equestria... _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ it was atleast two hours before the changelings left, and Two Pie was lucky, he hadn't had breakfast yet and his stomach was about to roar like a dragon. then again, he'd never seen a dragon, but apparently dragons fly around, all free in the sky now a days. How Two Pie had wished so much to be able to go outside today, but he wouldn't be allowed by his ever loving and over protective mother, pinkie pie. Something then clicked in Two Pie's head. then he thought to himself: "what if i could go outside, without being seen! no. that'd be impossible, but...." Two Pie was searching now, after his older insane idea, he remembered, that if he could get to twilight's old library, she did have a few magical artifacts, and its a 1 minute trot to the library, and since he was a master and sneaking now, with years of experience, that would end up being put to the best use. It was something about two hours before Two Pie left, and it was getting dark. the moment he stepped hoof out of sugar cube corner, he sprinted to the nearest shrub, which he hid in while a group of changelings marched by, in the clunky Armour they wear now a days."that was close" Two Pie silently mimicked while he started to back up out of the shrub, when suddenly, he backed his blank flank, and yes, he hadn't ever gotten the chance to gain his cutie mark, which he thought would be a sneaking cutie mark. he had flinched a bit then froze, hoping a changeling guard wasn't about to shoot a paralysis spell on him, when he heard a peculiar and foreign sounding voice say: "dont fret, my dear blank flank, for i am none of the changeling rank." it sounded like a poorly written limerick, that was said by a VERY foreign voice. when Two Pie backed his head around to look at this living obstacle, he saw a white pony, with a golden nose ring, and what looked to be grey painted stripes all over him. "Hello?" Two Pie whispered with a surprised face to show, with a sudden reply: "Hello Blank Flank!" "oy, would'a stop calling me that! my name is Two Pie!" He hissed, at this garish looking zebra. "im zeru! the zon ov' zecora!" "aah!" Two Pie said in his head while Zeru stilled introduced himself, "hes a zebra!" "what are you doing out here T.P?" Zeru said with a peculiar look, and a crackly, yet low tone of voice. "Well... im going to twilight's house, to see if she has any invisibility spells, or cloaks..." "aah! you wish to see what dee purple pony has! i can lead you there lickidy split!" without any say in anything, Zeru touched his horn to Two Pies forehead, and with a flash of light, they were in the library. specifically, the library that was about 10 yards away from Two Pie, when they flashed up. suddenly, a shriek was heard, what sounded to be a tea pot was spilled, and then a relieved looking Alicorn stepped down the stairs.. it was none other than the mystical mare Twilight sparkle. "oh thank goodness! i thought you were changelings, and if you were, i would've been captured for some reason, then i would've...." she muttered on, as she predicted what would've happened if they were changelings, then she finished asking: "you're not changelings, are you?" "no!" Two Pie said, before: "ov' courze not mad'am!" Zeru said, like a gentle stallion. then, another pony came slowly walking down the stairs, past the princess, and down to the two stallions, which were both speechless, when they saw the light purple colored pony, with silky shiny hair. Her cutie mark was a flower. she most likely was a great tea brewing pony, that made the tea they heard get spilled all over the floor. "I'm Aurora!" her eyes said this, as she put the two colts in astonishment at what beauty lied ahead of them. Two Pie then coughed, to break the two or three second silence, and replied "I'm Two Pie. and this is Zeru. a-" "yes, a Zebra, i know. its not like Zecora hasn't visited the library ever. she used to talk about you so much Zeru... until she passed." Yes. Zecora passed away from a lethal dose of some drugs she made, to cure little fillies in ponyville. it was Changelings that forced it down her throat, and feed of her shocked emotions from knowing that she'd die. Zeru broke out into crying, due to never knowing how he never knew his mother.. apparently, he was 2 or 3 months old when Zecora was killed. "I'LL HAVE DAT BASTARD QUEEN'S EAD' ON A STICK!" With a sudden jerk in Two Pie's hoof, he cut off Zeru's sentence, with the infuriated zebra's spit on his hoof. "im sorry Zeru, but im afraid i might just get to that before you, if i could just find out the history of equestria on enslavement..." "oh, i can help you Two Pie!" Twilight said with an eager tone, finally being able to pull off a librarian job for the first time in 13 years. with a low simmering purple look, radiating off of her horn, about twenty or so books flew off the shelf's, from upstairs, and the level they were on, and with a sudden jerk, Two Pie was randomly looking at a corner of the room, saying that "this probably wasn't the first time Twilight ever did this..." silence was the key after that, like it was a professional sport, and they were playing for the gold then Two Pie realized that he inherited the powers of the Pie Family. the fact that he was trying to break the 4th wall, was making the other ponies sick to their stomachs, but in this case, of how dark it was,(the mood was dark, not the lighting) they all just looked at him in surprise, at his sudden ability to do that. Two Pie wasn't surprised that he was doing this, at 16. his mother inherited these powers, when she was about 14, making him 2 years off. A sudden knock on the door was heard, and Twilight hushed them off, into the secret cellar, under that little table in the middle of the room. It was dark and dusty down there, but they managed. it was about 2 hours, before they finally thought that they had to take a look, and when they spread their eyes around the room, it was tragic. the books were all torn, ripped, and burnt, while the windows were shattered, and the door was busted, along with what looked like hell in a library, was the quiet sense that Twilight had been taken. A note lied on the ground... a scroll, that was titled "Letter #2,856,723 To: Celestia" it went by: Dear Kids, The title was what it was, to mislead the changelings. they are quite low in the IQs. If/When you get this note, immediately got to rarity, in the Crystal empire. she shall be able to help from there, along with disguises, new characters to cosplay as while this reign of terror goes on, and hopefully, a hiding spot. Please do not, and i mean DO NOT come to Canterlot. this note is here, to lead you away from Canterlot. it is the most insecure area in all of equestria. Sincerely, the last letter from -Twilight Sparkle. There was a silence after Two Pie read it aloud, then a few tears from Aurora, and then a shriek of terror from Two Pie. a hilarious shriek that was of a mare's. "WHY IS EVERYTHING BLACK? I CANT SEE! AHHHH!" "Two Pie, you've been blind for your whole life" Aurora said with a comforting hoof-hug. "your mother wrote about it, when you were born." "No... its... i... i could see before though.. i..." Two Pie had put two and two together. he just got the thought, as if he took it from his future, which with his 4th wall breaking powers, he thought was totally possible, "i can see, as long as i dont acknowledge my sight, while if i do, like reading, or focusing on something with my eyes, then i go blind..." _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two Pie was visited by a pink and blue orb that sounded familiar in his dreams that night. it kept repeating the words "i love you," and "be safe." Two Pie woke up, sweaty all over, shaking, like he was having an anxiety attack, yet... it was a calm dream. something started circling in his head, "mom" and "pinke" and also "dead." He then went down stairs, to the bottom floor of sugar cube corner, where he found something that'd change his life. a golden necklace, with a shattered gem, that looked like it could fit an area on the necklace if it was all together. like a blue balloon. then he saw something reflect a bit of moon light bouncing in through the windows onto the floor. it was almost red, which Two Pie followed, and saw, a mutilated body. of what should have been... his own mother, Pinkie Pie. Two Pie then suddenly, and probably woke up every pony within ponyville, with a wild and sudden cry to heaven "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! i will have my hoofs covered in the blood of the changelings. i will have the queen's head on a stick, and hoofs as walking sticks... i will make sure that half spider, half pony bitch, will die. He ran, oh no, he SPRINTED towards the library, grinding his teeth, letting the wind wipe away his tears, trying to stay unheard, he reached the door of the library, kicked it down, even though it had been put up hours before. "Zeru! Aurora! were going to find the others, and reform the elements of harmony!" " Who?" asked aurora sleepily, wondering what had happened. "you know my mother. pinke pie." "mhm." Zeru replied, as he walked down the stairs, one eye open and the other closed." "shes dead..." Two Pie said, as they emotions being inhanced, and mixed by the sleepiness, Two Pie explained what he saw. the blood, the moonlit trail, and the body. "yes. we must go and get the other children of harmony" Aurora replied to Two Pie's final sentence of the story. "we shall hope to get them soon, before summer. if summer ever comes. > A spider, in a stone. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So... that Fool Two Pie, is gathering the children of harmony. that mutant shall find, that what children he finds, are dead bodies. Arocknock! sarumaln! go Kill the other children! and while your at it, try and kill the zebra too. the zebra will lead to an uprising if we don't get to it quick enough..." Then the queen, Aracna started making rapid clicking noises, with a few words every which way, and with in a sudden second, the two spiders next to the half spider, half pony tyrant were gone. they teleported with two dark red flashes. the color of the hour glasses on their backs... or butts. what ever they are called. Then, the two guards, were in sweet apple orchards, ready to go for the apple family. They were quick, with their crawling, from tree top to tree top, not being seen by the workers, that applejack had hired, for more efficiency around the barn. they reached the barn, with a few jumps, and they were now inside crawling around, startling the cows, and chickens around the new barn that had been built... One of the spiders, snuck up behind the target that they were assigned to kill, and a blood curdling scream, then the dropping of a yellow pony, with red hair. sadly, it was not applejack's son, lil' red, but it was a mistaken for, applebloom. "applebloom!" an old, applejack yelled, after running over, to see what happened. Tears were shed. Rapid clicking started to sound off, then a final cry for help, after the spiders made sure that no pony had seen what happened. it was over. the apple family, was dead. all except for big mac, who moved to manehatten, to become a packing pony, to help those who were moving in/out. granny smith died a long time ago, at the age 102, and lil' red was stuck, locked up in his room, after the first scream of help. "HEEEELP! SOMEONE! GET ME OUT OF HERE- yes! finally! whats your guys' names?" lil' red yelled, quite ironically, being a big, strong stallion. "Two Pie!" the enraged stallion yelled out, knowing that there wasn't a changeling for mile. " Im Aurora!" the alicorn yelled out, trying to pick the lock to lil red's room from where she was galloping at. " I be Zeru! who are you?" the Zebra called out, with a shocked face, finding out that there was a survivor from an attack. period. " im lil' red!" the door to red's room unlocked, then he ran out of the house, and galloped to the other 16 year old ponies. Red was in shock, after noticing Two Pie, not because he was blind but because of another reason. "y- your a- your a dra-" "yes, im blind, dont mention it!" Two Pie moaned, while fixing the collar of his denim jacket he had thrown on, to look cool just for the hell of it. "we need your help red!" Aurora said, braking a silence that was awkward indeed. "your mom is applejack, right? "yes. WAS applejack" he said, after looking at the bodies in the open barn "i know how you feel red" Two Pie said there, trying to comfort his cousin. "my mom was mutilated by changelings, but your mom... and aunt look... poisoned." the whole of the group was in shock, as the bodies quickly decayed, into a silvery black dust. Two Pie, and Zeru had to struggle, to stop the son of the strongest bucking pony in ponyville. a giggle was let out by... the so called queen of equestria, Aracna. "don'y they know that they cant beat me? 4 billion years, of being royalty. enslavement on the elements of harmony, and now, execution... lets see if those children of mine, can get back without being squashed under a hoof." Aracna was Beautiful all over. she might have been a giant spider from the waist down, but her hair was pitch black, she had pinkish-purple fur, on the pony part, and her spider-parts were sleek, black, and more than 1,000 times the size of the biggest spider you could find in ponyville. she wasn't massive though, her flank, er, abdomen and cephalothorax, or what you would call her stomach area, were about as big as two or three of the stalls in the market of ponyville. but in general, she was a beautiful creature in general. To those who saw her, they were saddened that she was so ugly on the insides, yet she was somewhat luring when it came to mind control. it was only when she absolutely didn't need or want you, that she would kill you on sight, so no one knew what she looked like, other than being a giant spider. The room she was in, was at first, the tower, that Luna and Celestia would stay watch at, during the night and day. it was converted to a room full of webs, and gems in the snow white strings hanging from ceiling, to floor, to wall. there was a pedestal in the middle of the room, made of three webs, all going down at an angle perfectly, to hold an orb, that was quite literally, full of spiders venom, but for other's pain. she used it, to see everything outside of the tower, so she could make sure that there wasn't an uprising. "i hope he knows that this is his last year ever... thank Myself, that His mother, lied about his age to him. that 12 year old and his 7th grade friends shall die at 12." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * It was only two days, since they meet Red, and they were planning on going for a visit to the chrystal empire. a place where there was no hiding from Aracna. "i just cant wait to meet Ruby Shine!" said Aurora excitedly, knowing that there might just be a bit of femininity, instead of constant testosterone... It was a day and a half ride to the crystal empire, dew to constant stops, by roaming goats. "shouldn't fluttershy be taking care of these goats?" Said Two Pie. Red then replied, with a sarcastic cough "idiot! all of our parents are gone! get it? fluttershy isn't around anymore!" "oh shut up, you big red sarcastic muscle pony!" Two Pie, came back with a statement that was just plain bullying. he hand't known that it was though. he hadn't ever felt friendship like this, and he had a lot to learn. saddly, Twilight's journal, was burnt in the library, along with the elements of harmony, melting away, into pools of gold. The ticket master of the train then stopped them before getting off asking "tickets?" Two Pie looked around himself, and into his bags on each side, then finding one in his left bag "here it is!" he said, while levitating it to the ticket master to snip something into it. "uh..." Red wasn't sure what to say. he didn't think he had his ticket with him. he had no bags on to hold them. "here red, i have your ticket in my other bag" said Two Pie, sarcastically at this stallion who wasn't smart enough to bring his own bags. Aurora and zeru were holding their tickets with their magic the whole time, but when zeru handed his ticket to the ticket master, "sorry kid, but this is a fake! looks like im going to have to confront you, and only you to the changelings. I hate doing this." Zeru was devastated, but wouldn't fight back. he was sold a fake, and that's what he would tell the changeling train-managers. it was of course, a mistake that Zeru would regret, going home, intending to get Fluttershy and Lily, the animal family of ponyville. for it would be his last... of his current body, until... the spiders would get to him, later that day. "ok, so its just two blocks forwards, one left, then one right, and that corner is apparently Diamond's house-" Two Pie put down the map, looking at where they were. a blizzard wasteland, miles away from the crystal empire. it was see-able, but it was hard to see at all in this... strangely grey-ish looking snow. they all started galloping in sync, knowing that they had the same goal to get to, before another two pesky vermin of equestria got to them first. it was two minutes later, the crystal empire gates were getting close, when they started getting sleepier, but, they woke up after a few seconds. "this snow must be fake snow! sleeping powder, put in the clouds by some pegasi, hopefully, for a sick joke, and not from the queen!" said Two Pie, forcing against the blizzard, seeing that Red and Aurora were having trouble. five minutes later, and they were at the gates of the crystal empire, all standing there, thinking of a way over. there were changelings, all across the walls, and at the floors. the only one with wings there, was Aurora, but she wasn't strong enough to carry them, and if they tried taking on the changelings, they would never get there, to Diamond's house in time! "theirs only one option... we gotta dig underground." said red, readying up his hoofs, behind a giant hill, out of sight of the changelings. "i can start the hole, but you guys gotta provide me light." Aurora, then nodded, silently, with her horn glowing a dim purple-ish green. Red then started digging, and digging wasn't just that, grunting whenever he ran into a problem, then just throwing it out of his way, he was working the hardest he had ever worked in his life. it was almost amazing, to Two Pie, how fast one pony could dig a 5 foot deep, by 3 feet long and wide, hole. it was a moment, that anypony would be awestruck! then, Two Pie acted as a gentle pony, and allowed Aurora to go first, giving the light for Red. it was 3 more minutes, Red was digging the whole, when he hit something.... a pipe. "we must be beyond the wall. no pony would put a pipe outside of their kingdom's land!" he said, being honest and truthful, just as his mother was once. he then, rapidly, started digging his hoofs, into the ground, in-front of him, making a ladder like wall up to the surface, just behind a trash can, next to the first house to the right of the doors, in the crystal empire. it was a pretty kingdom indeed, but it wasn't as.... "shiny" as the expected it to be. something that they were all confused about. "ok. like i said-" but Red was gone, following the instructions from earlier, and getting to the house, when before any pony could hear their own thoughts, a scream, high pitched, from a pony, that was very... feminine sounding. "damn it all! the spiders got to rarity!" yelled Red, still galloping, now being followed by Two Pie, and Aurora. they skid to the left, then to the right, and there was a group of changelings, carrying away the body of a dead mare. not a filly, a mare. a full grown, yet young looking mare. not with the hair of rarity, but it was sweetiebell they head scream. she was now dead. a sobbing was heard from the house, and when they all went in, there was a white filly, with pink- and violet hair, with mascara running down her face, just sitting there. crying. she was mumbling about something like "spiders" and "dead" and "why!" Red then tried to comfort her, by putting his massive hoof around her back, then saying "its ok. just, please, calm down." "how can i calm down, when my MOTHER, was KILLED, but a BUNCH of SPIDERS!" Diamond yelled, then putting a hoof over her mouth, after that outburst, "i am so sorry for yelling, that instance was none of what i am like, in the every day life!" she was a very formal sounding pony, a pony, that Aurora would be friends with, on the spot. "you two, are here for a reason?" Two Pie then got tried, and so did Red, then suddenly, they were sleepy, yet waking up. like they were sleep walking. Aurora was now gone, and Red was just looking at Two Pie in shock, and at the door way, where a once silent image of Aurora was standing at. "shes still in the field a sleep! that wasn't just sleeping dust, that was sleep walking dust, they must have gotten Aurora in the field! no wonder the plan was done so flawlessly, you'd expect that there might have been more problems!" like Aurora dissapearing... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * It was two days since they last saw Aurora, and they had now gotten Lily, who had followed them on the train secretly, knowing that she would be needed. "im so sorry, for spying on you guys. i just dont know-" "its ok Lily. we dont blame you. i'd sneak around and so some spy work, when it came to something as big as this." "thank you." she said, brushing her hair out of her eyes. " lets get back to the train, and get to cloudsdale, to get meenus and pucy now. the son and daughter of rainbowdash..." _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "those silly ponies are going to fail, you hear me, my princess?" said the queen, to an alicorn in a web of hers. "you'll never get away with this!" said a voice, not of Twilight's or Cadence's, but Aurora. Aracna then crawled up to her, her body almost peeling off slowly, showing the body of a pony, "you see. all i need, is to take the last element of harmony, Rainbowdash, then i will be my full form!" no. she wasn't peeling away, she was.... gaining onto her all ready massive size, feeding more and more, getting fatter and more powerful, for the moment. it was her pony side that was the same as normal, but her spider side, was as big as four or five ponyville market stalls! "i got rarity, a long time ago. in fact ,she was the first, and easiest. i think, you'll be the first one i test me. 'final capabilities' on. for it might jsut be glorious. its been 4 billion years, and all i need to do, is get impregnated with a half dragon, half pony cross breed, and then ill start getting my full abilities. first, and army of hatch-lings, straight from the eggs i will lay, in this very nesting room, then soon, the changelings will be replace, by half-pony, half-spider mini-cross breeds... its sad, knowing that i cant resort to discord for a second time, after 4 billion years of this. he of course, with Celestia, and Luna, were sent to that good little universe, as fillies and a colt, its all just a part of everything. and you know what? your friend Two Pie, has yet to find out about his seventh sense, and i know hot to unlock that for him, only when he turns 18, then shall it be at full capability, and shall i be able to get this, into the works! six more years up here though, and six more years, i can have fun with you. i can starve you, or i can force feed you. your choice! one of the two, or i could find something else, resorting in death. it'll be sad though, because then ill have to kill the pony, that i get me 'final capabilities' from first! She then, turned to her crystal ball, in the three-web strand made-podium, watching the not knowing-12 year old Two Pie, and his seventh grade friends, as they get meenus and pucy, from a fallen cloudsdale. "Cloudsdale literally fell from the sky! it literally just fell!" said meenus, crawling from the rubble, trying to look for her brother, and mother. "PUCY!" she then yelled, seeing his back hoofs and tail under three walls of the house, with a small bit of blood splatter, on the rubble, next to him, a front and back hoof of rainbowdash, looking like she was going to protect him, by jumping over him, but failing at the last second. loyalty, failed at protecting her son, but without choice. and for a second time that day, Two Pie watched a filly, sit and cry, for her dead family, knowing that they would never see them again. "please, we must go to ponyville. its urgent. we-" then a sudden crash, and a taxi caravan that was being driven, had flown through the only standing wall, with the taxi-driver, pegasus asking "are you the ponies who know Zeru? the zebra?" Two Pie, and Red gave off a Yes, while the others just listened. "come on, then! you've got a zebra to talk to...." > The Drako's Box. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a cold year after that. no official spring, summer, or fall, and here they were, a whole year later, thinking that they were all 17, when they had just turned 13, thinking that they could easily take on the queen. they had been brought back to ponyville, but no Zeru was there. only an orphanage where the library stood("How dare they, take a great library, and turn it to crap!" said Diamond) "Two Pie, Red, i think its time for school!" said miss cheerilee, walking into the room, where it was just them, together, occupying one out of five bunk beds in the room, while the orphanage was going to have to fill the room with fillies, dew to a recent outbreak in disease, of young fillies that had not killed the fillies, but did kill the parents. "one second ms.Cheerilee!" said Red, acknowledging his age, now that he had found out that they were going to 8th grade. "i dont get it! im 17! i should be in my junior year of high school!" said Two Pie, angrily, as he got on his back pack, for this was going to be another one of "those" days, that was boring, no where helpful, to the once thriving cause of stopping Aracna. Two Pie, had drawn pictures, sent owls, and done everything to communicate to Aurora, but no reply ever. his owl always came back, with the note he sent, without a reply. it was almost heart breaking, to Lily, to see such an ambitious pony, sad, and calm, dew to his love, being taken away with no faulty reason of why. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two months later, it was February, and nothing changed, and it was just... bland. Two Pie, every night, tried everything to talk to Aurora. no replies every. at least 200 times, he has sent a note to her asking, to reply, and asking if shes ok. "Time for school Two Pie!" said Mr.Cheerilee, with her as usual, sweet, and nurturing look on her face, as red was all ready on his way. "just a minute." Two Pie said, being shoved out of the way, by seven other fillies in the room, that had just all waken up.from Two Pie's yelling. he then said in his head "Oh Aurora, why cant you just say something?" It was Noon, and lunch had just began. Two Pie, skipped the crappy food, and headed straight to the front lawn, for his lunch, and to his surprise, a box with his name is on the door step. a big box, with, when its opened, a smaller box, thats made out of ebony, carved with swirls, and an ancient dragon language. Two Pie, then tried reading it: "Wo Lost, Davrahk, tomwah jokwy lokwy davrahk. nonny lothzy crahk nu tal!" he said, reading the box fluently, then seeing an image, of Aurora! but, she was in a web, she looked different. fatter? thinner? maybe. it had been so long since he saw her, then the image changed "no! keep showing me it! maybe i can talk to her!" but it didn't work, and it started showing him something that he had to fulfill. he had to go to canterlot to comfront the spider queen, for one out of three times. it told him that, and then gave him a seventh sense. the dragon sense. (Note: the fourth wall breaking ability, is a sixth sense, and will be used to his advantage later in the story) "this is The Drako's Box. the box from my old books. it tells you everything you need to know" said Two Pie, as he galloped to Red, with the box in one hoof. "thats amazing!" "did you know, that we're only 13, Red?" "a long time ago, Pie." "really? thats a bit depressing, why didn't you tell me!" there was a silence, after that, with the both of them, in their bedroom. then Two Pie started tinkering with the box, opening it, finding new things every few seconds, that Red could note. after a while, he saw Aurora again, this time, she was looking straight at Two Pie. to Aurora, it was the orb in the middle of the room she was in. "Aurora!" Two Pie yelled, trying to talk to her. "can you hear me?" Silence. "Aurora. please!" Two Pie, was trying not to tear up, from seeing her like this.but it was just sad, and quite respectfully, anger inducing. He then thought in his head "Oh Aurora." "yes?" he heard, from Aurora's voice, and as he looked back, Aurora was looking around. "Two Pie?! where are you? "im looking at you. turn your head left. bit more. a little bit- there!" " the orb, is where you at?" "apparently! its good to talk to you Aurora. i've really missed you. where are you?" "im in some dark room, frequently visited, by the queen every few minutes, with platters of food." "your being fed? what?" "its acutally all really good! i wonder why shes evil though..." after that, Aurora then started explaining that Aracna wanted to get to Two Pie, to unlock her powers, of pure darkness. "what?! when im 18? thats in 5 years!" "exactly. but, thats... thats the point. either, im going to be fat as a pig, or skinny as a pencil. sometimes she comes in with food, sometimes she doesn't. its a random situation, but most the time, she starts doing what ever shes going to do, then its over, quickly. its... she forces me to look at her, and it paralyzes me... in a good way. shes a beautiful creature Two Pie, you must understand this.. its sad shes so evil... here, let me send you an image of her, from the last time she was in here." Aurora then sent a mental picture of to Two Pie, was a creature almost as Beautiful as Aurora. " how is she evil again?" "no clue Two Pie." "Red! look at this!" but by the time red put his head in the box, Aurora was gone, and it was just a picture of apple jack, and apple bloom. "why'd you show me this, you ass hole! you know it'll get to my feelings!" Then Two Pie looked in, and it was gone, being a picture of Aurora. it seemed to show what Two Pie wanted to see. then Two Pie started getting ideas. "i need to let go of her, in order to help us." _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was A month after that. March, and it was going well now. Two Pie had a drive, this summer, if he could just get the powers he needed, he could take on Aracna, and legend says, that all the famous stories of the Drako's Box, end with the Pony that found it, turning to a half breed of the animal they were, and the animal they are on the inside. Two Pie was almost sure, it was a set up, to allow him to defeat Aracna. a boost, for him to train. so he trained, he ran, and ran, and galloped and galloped, he got better at jumping, ducking. and wall running. he was becoming a free runner at the age of 13, and not a moment too soon indeed, through his eyes. It was only one thing. Two Pie, now had to worry about his Inner animal. his inner... "self". > The confrontation of two hybrids. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was time. it was The last day of may, and Two Pie was now officially 14. two years since the beginning of this journey, and it would end. today; in what Two Pie had not known to be. the death of one of his best friends. Aurora was still in the room, in the tower in canterlot. Aracna for some reason had the idea that making Aurora physically obese, was the best idea to make Two Pie back away. this was the worst idea ever. this was more drive. this made Two Pie think of doing something he's never thought of. killing the queen. Two Pie, was also trying to figure out his sixth sense, that dragon sense. he had read up on it, and supposedly, it was different for everyone like him, who encountered the Drako's Box. for some, an eagle vision, others had feline stamina, one even had mandrake mind. it was a queer aspect to it all, but most everypony who got it, had a special perk to it, other than something they were all ready good at. "i just dont know what it can be! its just a bit insane! ive read myths, legends, stories, and much MUCH MORE!" Two Pie was getting short tempered and angered more than usual lately. Two Pie had even made armour, from regular things around the bakery. he used Two sheet pans that he bent. as armour around his stomach, chest, and waist, along with a bit of exoskeleton armour, mainly springs, and air pumps, to allow him better agility, stamina, and speed to get a faster kill on the queen. maybe even some poisons, using some herbs and spices. Two Pie, was glad he had a baker for a mother. for she had everything needed for an assassin. not too mention, enough balloons, that he could walk on walls and cielings with, easily. a party cannon for distractions ETC. Lily on the other hand, wasn't liking this at all. she wanted a calmer way of doing this, she was going to maybe get a peace treaty going along with Equestria and aracna, but after fluttershy, enough was enough for lily. but where was Zeru? not to be found. not to be heard of. Two Years, gone. just sitting somewhere, alone. probably went into the everfree forest to commit suicide, in Two Pie's head, and there was no better reasoning than why Two Pie wanted to just die right now. because life was going to hell, and he would not have it. luckily, Diamond was a fashion oriented Mare, like her mother, rarity, so she designed an outfit for Two Pie. a perfect Navy Blue, to blend in with the dark, along with a jet black and some grey, a white, and that's about it. It was coming down to this. a day, to end it all. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The train ride to canterlot was a long, and hard journey to handle. the tension and hardship that had lead all up to this very day, 730 days and they get this. it was all or nothing. it was canterlot gold, or canterlot old. "we gotta do this guys. you understand? for Aurora, our parents, for canterlot, and equestria. i have yet to find out. what makes me special. but to you ponies, im just your friend. thank you." they all hugged him, knowing that he'd need it. but what Two Pie really wanted to know, was what his seventh sense was. Two Pie, hid along ally-ways, in dumpsters, and went roof top to roof top, not being seen. he finally got to the tower, without being seen. he made his way through pillars, up stairs, and finally saw the room. bigger on the inside then what it looked like outside, it's walls were pitch black, one window, and what Two Pie had seen. webs on every wall, abstractly spun out, to fit food, or those who are captured on there. he looked around the room, when he lied his eyes on Aurora, what he had last seen 2 days ago was there, in flesh and blood, was hanging there, sleeping. with a platter of food on the floor. Two Pie put a smile, ear to ear, and trotted over silently, all to start cutting her down with his pocket knife. he woke her up, and then she started smiling just like him. as he cut the last strand that she was hanging from, she immediately ran to him, and full blown started kissing him. Two Pie didn't care how she looked. she was ok! Two Pie felt like just plain sneaking out with her was an option, and coming back later, when more suited and prepped was a better idea. he explained his idea to her, then started towards the stairs, when something jumped up. it had a cloak on, with a weird helmet, metallic and abstract boots, neither of them the same. and a freaky weird pattern on its body. it had black stripes with white fur on its body- it was zeru! "Zeru? is that you body?" said Two Pie, holding the hoof of princess Aurora. A metallic, gritty voice came out of the once pure zebra's mouth: "yes. but no. i am. Z3R-U. A potion master. A magic pony. I know who i am. this is me. and i will kill you Two Pie. before you kill the queen." He then jump at Two Pie, threw him towards the window, and threw Aurora a side, making sure that she wasn't a problem at the moment. He then slowly trotted towards Two Pie, and smashed the window Two Pie was lying next to. glass shattered all over Two Pie, and ended up making his whole back, and side start bleeding. he yelled out in pain, as he started getting up, when once Zeru, Z3R-U kicked Two Pie, off the ledge, and down he fell. down, down down, he fell. his whole life, from isolation from the changelings, and everything else. all untill the age of 12. then it started getting slower. Two Pie, was getting life, every second per second. it was day by day, he lived, but... he... it was something Two Pie shed a tear over. Meenus, Lily, Diamond, and Red all watched from the roads, all screaming and yelling, trying to go help, when they all stopped. and... were flabbergasted. Two Pie... then started seeing his mother's past. her life, and everything every adventure after meeting Twilight sparkle. it was... beautiful. then, he started thinking... what was taking so long, for him to just die all ready? He opened his eyes, and a rusty red orb was glowing around him, yet there was no alicorn nor unicorn casting the magic. Two Pie, felt a wind brush up against his sides... and.. something else. he looked over. rusty-red and gold wings! he grew wings? but they weren't at all, his blue fur color, they were scaly. he then, looked at his hoofs. rusty red as well. he then, looked at himself, with a piece of glass, that he had taken out of his side. it was stuck in between two scales. a large piece at that, and when he saw himself. he wasn't at all himself. was this his animal? Two Pie was half pony, half dragon!he then, went right over, and with natural talent, flew upwards, hearing a shrieking noise, coming from Aurora, then he saw Z3R-U with a hoof out, and a blade coming out of it, ready to slash off the head of Aurora, then he lunged himself at what was once, his best friend, and started ripping off the technology, and Armour, revealing his true, older form. the zebra was back. then, the spider queen, showed herself, coming from up the stairs, and then dropping the platter of food, at the sight of Two Pie, there, flapping his wings, Two Pie wouldn't lunge himself, instead yell, the word "Yol," and a sudden burst of fire went our of his mouth. he then held a steady going yell, and the fire kept going after Aracna, when she finally, swung a web at Zeru, the non-cyborg pony Zeru, the original zeru, and flung him out of the window. "NO!" Two Pie was sitting there, waching as Zeru fell, a tear shined bright from Zeru's eye, as he hit the ground. SPLAT! Zeru, was now for the road worker ponies to clean up, for he was a pile of blood, limbs, and internal organs. it was the last straw. Two Pie then, Grabs Aurora, with his new Claws, at the end of his new, rusty-red hoofs, and creating a rusty-red and Cyan Blue sonic rainboom, he dropped Aurora off, and started flying away, knowing that after that. he wouldn't take for friendship anymore. he was going for one thing that could kill Aracna. The Crystal heart, locked away, dew to its powers able to kill her. he knew it was in the north. with an old dragon, who used to be a scribe in Twilight's library... > A Dragon Confidential > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Pie was flying, he flew for miles, north, following the train tracks below him. he could, or would never call himself Two Pie again. his Cutie Mark was gone, for Being a natural artist, it was covered in the rust-red scales. The snow was getting harder and harder, until it was a blizzard, and he didn't want to fly any closer to the train tracks because if he got hit by a train; that's it. game over for equestria as they would know it. It wasn't long until Two Pie had to fly lower, and when he did. nothing. he was lost. no sign of rails, no tracks, not a single hoof mark, just snow. white snow as far as the eye could see. this was one of those times Two Pie enjoyed being a dragon. the Fire Breath, but he wouldn't use it much. since it was a new use to him, and he didn't want to meet his limit quickly. Hours apon Hours, he drove himself longer, fire breath heating him every minute or two. he started seeing things. like his friends, aracna, or the crystal empire! one thing though, was that his eye lids were getting heavy, and his fire breath weak. he was ready to fall over, and have it over with, and go to sleep for the last time. It was getting dark, when Two Pie fell, to only his front two hoofs, or now known as claws, were pulling him forward... inch by inch. he took with caution, then he finally say a purple pony with a green belly, on its hind hoofs, walk towards Two Pie, then put out its hoof asking "are you ok fellow brother?" "Get it over with." "what? i want to help you. into good health, please, grab my claw, let us go to my cave, where i can get tea brewing." "Tea? sure.. wh- why- n... no..." Two Pie couldn't speak anymore. he was just tired as hell, and he couldn't get up. the strange figure, with a fedora on the top of his head picked Two Pie up, and carried him away, with every breath full of fire. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was a day or two, that Two Pie was out, and he finally woke up, to a cozy little log cabin, inside a cave, inside of a mountain. it was a beautiful house, and Two Pie had yet to learn about what was going on "im spikus artimus. you can call me spike for short!" "spike? weren't you once Princess Twilight's scribe? "why of course, and if you want, i can get you the dragon sense you absolutely want!" "i all ready have my dragon sense. its just that-" "you need to learn how to use it! yes, and you know what? i can teach you. im a dragon myself, but you can understand that." "uh.. spike? i... why is everything blurry?" "what? troubled sight? oh, that's... a part of the snow here, its shards of ice actually falling, it somewhat scratched up your eyes. i could easily see, i had my goggles on." "so im blind now? great! now how am i going to take on aracna?!" "with your dragon sense. you know, legends have foretold of a drako, that could do everything that the past drako's could. sight in darkness, teleportation, stamina, about everything. but one problem, one thing at a time can work. sudden impulses of past souls though, will help you, can sometimes also influence emotions to increase, or decrease, so you might never have control over your full body after i train you-" "i dont care, my friends are in hell right now, im partially blind, i have no idea where i am, im a bloody dragon now! and i gotta kill a mad queen who will go to no ends to kill me. well then. i will teach you... _______________________________________________SEVEN MONTHS LATER________________________________________ A new year to work on everything else, Two Pie had partial parts of it down, and sudden impulses of emotions are starting to get amplified now a days. its only, that Two Pie, hasn't learned everything on call. every Drako, has had a short full name, so he only needs to think of their names. the only ones he has down is swiften, the Drako of eagles, meaning flight, and Match stick, the Drako of fire. an arsonist at heart. hes working on ones like StarSwirl. yes, starswirl the bearded was a Drako, only hidden form it. he never had an animal, because he was the first Drako, he created a spell that would find its way to those that are the Drako. every 10 years, there is a new Drako though, and the old on looses their powers, unless they kill the Drako that takes their powers, or the Drako kills the past Drako, which in that case, gets the powers for their life, untill death, which would naturally come soon, dew to order keeping itself balanced. One he was close to mastering, was Twinkle Toes. a Drako, that had the animal of the mole. they were a blind mage, and never needed spells to see. it was a little boy, who died at 11, due to finding it's powers at the age of 1. "Master Spike, i think its time i start my training on the martial arts-" "no Two Pie. im afraid to say, that that is the last drako we will go over! and to tell you, this is 7 out of 24 months and you have barely learned two names! "spike, im sorry, but i feel like i will truely need these names when im in great danger. the only name ill need most of the time is Twinkle Toes." "fine. but we'll just see about that!" ________________________________________FIFTEEN MONTHS LATER______________________________________________ Record 6 Hello again. My name is Two Pie, and I am the Drako of Dragons. finally introducing myself, after 5 entries, i guess im a bit slow when it comes to things. ive at least worked my flank off (if i have one anymore) to learn the names of 17 different Drakos'. i am expecting an owl from Aurora, my old... crush as you can say. i wonder how she is doing. luckily, the storms have died down, so i expect that owl messaging is now an efficient item of messaging. I hope that my training comes to good hand as well. lately, the ice outside over the great equestrian lakes have been thawing, and turning to actual water and not this frozen slush we have right now. i plan on taking a boat back that- one second. Master Spike is calling for me. Yes. Two Pie, now known as BlazeWing, was now more respectful of Spike, and referred to him as Sir, or master Spike, never just Spike. "Yes Sir!" said Two Pie in a tone that you'd hear from a student. "i've just got an owl, a letter from ponyville i presume?" "probably" Two Pie had a sarcastic look, being that it could only be from there. Spike then handed Two Pie the note. Two Pie then opened it, with a sharp claw, and it was a clean cut! The note then was covered, in nothing, but poetic writing. telling Two Pie, that Aurora thought he was a beautiful creature. then it struck him, right in the knee. she didn't love him one bit! she only liked him for his dagon-like abilities! That meant one thing. He had to confront her and ask her, to come clean. she acted as though, they were just friends when they were in the library, on the train, and in it all... just plain together, before her being captured. she was a princess, and a user. Two Pie, was disgusted that she'd become princess of equestria if he took down Aracna. It was then, that Two Pie saw Spike, having troubles standing up. it was getting much MUCH warmer in the north this summer for some peculier reason, and Spike had never felt conditions like this for probabley 20 years. he looked like he was boiling on the inside, his scales were all the same, but his cheeks were going a pale-purple. "Spike!" it was the first time he was called spike in 10 months actually, and he looked over at Two Pie. "thank you. for everything you've done kid" Spike then, went outside, dug a deep hole, and piled himself in it, with snow to bury him in. he literally dug his own grave, and only to make sure Two Pie, didn't spend much time, morning over the body of spike. a little dim green light showed in the snow, that spike was berried in, and then nothing. no sound, no spike, nor fire. it was dead silent, then Two Pie understood. he must find out why Aracna did this to them all. ____________________________________________Two Months later..._________________________________________________ Two Pie was packing his bags, and without sleep for two months straight. only eating, and practicing the past Drako names, for combat. the one Two Pie practiced the most, was Delfino. the Dolphin Drako, only because of her extreme smarts, she could read the past minds and future actions of anypony she looked at. this would help, only when going against Aracna. he would need it in the end fight, and he would need everything he had. He was packing his bags, and had gotten a visit from the local dragons, giving him their charms, from teeth, to scales, to claws, all the way to strips of wing to repair his own with! (its weird how dragons are loyal to each other, with the weirdest ways) Good bye Drako BlazeWing. son of Laughter, bringer of peace. we shall prey to you, with the chants of our past, and our kin!" said the now, leader of the pack. he was a large, orange, scaly, bumpy-tailed, small-winged dragon, who had also short legs. he wasn't the battling type, but he was what you'd expect from a dragon leader. "thanks you Arachktans." (its old Phoenix, which every dragon spoke, and it meant dragons) "you all needn't worry. i've learned a lot from my past" Two Pie, now never considered the past Drakos as other ponies, but him, in different incarnations. He would only have these two years left, knowing that the only ship this last bit of the year up in the north, would go 100 miles of course, then another that got 25 miles on course, then another at 15, then one last one at 60 miles on course, all the way to equestria. Two Pie, would not fly there, because he was still blind, and would have to take life strongly, and make sure that not only his past was strengthened but his present was as well. "it'd be two years. ill be 18. and Aracna would only need to get me unconscious to get me in the right position for her dastardly plan. That means, that i must only have the chance to defeat her on the day she would know that i am there." Thus, leads to a Two year journey, that Two Pie would take, to get to his friends... this was, only hell, to know that for 4 out of his ten year period of being Drako, would be spent, gone, without helping others. "its all for the best..." > The sailors song. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Pie, was walking across the slushy snow, in the North of Equestria, being followed by the teen dragons, who would christen the ship as it left off. it was a walk, that was filled with comments, jokes, and suggestions, while sailing on the ship. A Breezy, and sunny walk indeed, without need of constant fire breath, but every three minutes. "hey, ill see you around kid!" "yeh, you stay safe" "i'll doubt that'll happen you two, but hope for the best!" said Two Pie, as he stepped into the boat, being given rags for clothing, to keep him warm on the high seas. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was a stormy day, and Two of the ponies, keeping the cannons on board, had fallen off, so there was a lack of responsibility, on deck. Title waves were coming in, like bees, to their hives, after pollinating the flowers. it was massive wave, after massive wave, and yet, the crew still held together, as one, singing shanties like "oh my sweet pony" and "down to las-pegasus." it was amazing, to see such friendship, in such danger. it brought a tear to Two Pie's eye, as he just sat at the swivel cannon, ready to use his hearing to shoot at any monsters. "Land Hooo!" shouted the watch pony in the birds nest. it was indeed land, and it was far from Two pie's target, but at the same time, a ship was ready to dock off, as he docked into port. it was a boring and long journey, but it did the job, and only one thing was left to do for Two Pie. he had to get on the last two boats. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two Pie had one month to go before he docked into the last port he'd have to transfer ships on, but something happened on this smaller ship. a giant sea serpent came out of no where, nearly knocking the whole ship sideways, several crew members were blown off, but Two Pie had focused the Swivel cannon instead of on the chest, but in the mouth, to choke the beast, took the shot, but just blew off a few teeth of the serpent. it roared as loud as possible at that, remarkable and cheered for hit, but then, it struck back, this time FULLY flipping the ship over, making everypony fall off. except Two Pie, who expected that hew would be needing a special Drako name. He then called out the name "fermare il tempo!" then, everypony stopped screaming, stopped drowning, the serpent stopping flipping its lid at a few teeth in its throat. It was the Name of the Drako of freeze time. Two Pie though, was able to swim from under the boat, and got to the surface. he would need his clear sight after this, and since he wasn't ready to take on a serpent at all, without killing everypony around him, he just left, swimming along, with blurry vision, all to call "Eliminare vista!" Clear sight, followed by steady flying, it was a month of flying ahead of Two Pie. or so he thought. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One full week later, he was getting tired. no sleep for 7 days, his wings were literally starting to get blood shot, along with his eyes, (when the wings get blood shot, you can basically just see the beating veins inside the wing) Two Pie couldn't see land for miles, but luckily he snagged a compass off of the ship, after the literally, flipping out serpent. Two Pie, was flying for his life though, because he was flying to find another ship. "HO THERE!" said a rusty, burly voice from below. "What be-yah' name!" Two Pie then looked down, all to see a tiny little ship that his eyes missed, from being so strained by the sea salts, and mist floating about over the great blue dessert he would have been stuck over for 1 full month untill he found the land he should have docked at. "The name's Drako BlazeWing!" said Two Pie, flying down, all to fall in a barrel of fish. He then took a fish out, used his fire breath to cook it, then he ate it, all in 3 bites. not clean bites, and there was a bit of blood and skin left over after, but it was one damn good fish for no food for a full week straight. "got a home son?" said the shaggy captain, looking at Two Pie peculiarity while he indulged himself with delicious fresh fish. "yes, its in Equestria. sad place now a days, its only got a few good ponies there any more, and i ran away two years and 8 months ago. sad place to go back to as well, my girl, Princess Aurora, is only wantin' me for my Dragon like- Drako abilities." Two Pie spoke, like was maybe from Spain, or Britain. He spoke, as a Pirate now, and only to fit in. this was a Spanish Gun Boat though, so he could rely on his ability to mimic accents and tones of voice. "i believe though, that you are on a course for Hoofnada. If so, may i hitch a ride for the journey? thats on my course." Two Pie, had read the mind of this captain; a little trick he had taught himself. "yes, we are on course there. not exactly out last stop, but the tiny island will do. we want to take upgrade, of the cannons and sails" "perfect! maybe i might just get this right, and defeat her after all..." "Who? is that the girl of yours you were talkin' 'bout?" "no. somepony else..." _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "i'll see you some day again captain rahkam! i garuntee it" "ay! you better have the best of luck at defeating that evil son of a bitch in equestria, yah hear me?" "loud and clear." And as Two Pie started off with his bags, he then ran into a familiar pony, in the harbor. He was in a cloak, and had the most nostalgic stripes anypony would know. "Zeru?" "Two Pie!" yelled the old, but apparently NOT dead zebra, as he threw his hoof around Two Pie's neck. "how have you been?" "b? wha? your.... YOU'RE DEAD!" he yelled, silencing the crowd around him. "you fell off! and, that whole robot suit thing..." "Two Pie, don't you know a changeling, in disguise when you see it? its stripes were CLEARLY not as dark as mine!" Two Pie, was shocked... no, the Dragon, was pissed off though. the dragon was lied to, and ran away for no reason. then again, if it wasn't for the fake, Two Pie would have never fulfilled the Drako's Box dragon generation. "Dude. without you, i wouldn't be here today, ready to take on Aracna." The rusty red pony named Two Pie, was in utter awe, as to what one decision can do. to fake death, is amazing, but leading to this. "wow" "im about to leave port on another boat, to get to equestria. the great Jackpony, as its called, its a galleon, and its going to equestria-" "equestria? they all ready know about me there, infact, i over threw aracna all ready! Aurora is now the princess of equestria!" "WOT! you mean to tell me, that i ran away for two years, nearly spent another two out here, and all just to find out that the pony i was going to get revenge on, has been over thrown? damn it zeru!" "yes, and i am sorry, but it worked! i was going on the same boat back to equestria, because i was just here to tell everyone that for the first time in 20 years, they're throwing a Grand Galloping Gala!" "really? now? i might just have a gander at that. i hope that she witch, Aurora won't be wanting me to dance with." "what?" "shes just now, suddenly gotten love struck over me, after i found out that im the Drako of dragons. the Drako, to heal equestria. they might as well call you the Drako instead, of deception! you bloody, made everyone think you died, over throw royalty, and then all in time to find your best friend, in the slums in the middle of the bloody ocean!" "Maybe, if you feel like it." It was then, a voyage on a slow galleon that would take a year to get 200 miles, from a small island, all the way to a grand land. a boring voyage most of the time, until it came back. "Sir! theres something lurking around the boat!" yelled one of the two scouts, "its huge, like a serpent!" suddenly, Two Pie's ears perked up, and with the flash of lightning, he was galloping to the edge of the boat, all to stop the same serpent from a year ago, destroy this ship with innocent life's on it, to spare. "no pony dies today. only a serpent." Two Pie lunged himself into the water, then started ruffling his wings strangely, to give him water swimming efficiency. he then, jet towards the Serpent, and slashed at its side, with his wing. blood squirt all, up to the surface, and then Two Pie, was in the stomach of the beast. he had gotten eaten. "not today" Two Pie said, as he slashed at the fabric of the stomach, getting blood on his coat, was the last thing on his mind now. he kept biting, and slashing, untill he finally reached skin, there he could just push through, and swim out of the now dead beast, to the surface. the ship had barely moved a few feet, and every poor pony on the galleon, who had been cursed to come on, started cheering. almost every one of them, had rags for boots, and cloth for a hood. Two Pie, then walked up to the youngest of them all, a sick looking, filly who hadn't even gotten her cutie mark yet. cutie marks never mattered to Two Pie though. he never acknowledged them, only because they tell you what that pony is good at. not what they are like on the inside. He then, handed his coat to her, to warm her, because it was getting close to the middle of winter. "merry early christmas" he said, as he handed it to the sick girl, who was starting to cry with joy. "thank you so much Mr!" Two Pie gave her the coat, knowing that she would need it, in order to survive this long and harsh looking winter on the high seas. The coat was blood stained, which then Two Pie asked "can i have it back just for one second?" The little filly then answered "give it back please!" Two Pie then, said the name "pollone sangue," his sharp teeth morphed to fangs, and he sucked the blood ff of his jacket. "wait" Two Pie said, as the spell was replaced with the clear sight spell, "i never studied them... in fact, i have only studied 22. yet i can name 220 off the top of my head. and there have only been 250, including me!" Two Pie then just kept sucking the blood off of his jacket, because he wasn't just going to give a bloody, muddy, dirty jacket that has been on fire, to a little sick filly! "here you are!" Two Pie said, throwing the jacket over the little filly "Thank you sir..." the filly said, as she drowsed of into a deep warm sleep. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was sooner, or later time to doc off at manehatten. a big city, that Two Pie wouldn't like. big cities, to a stallion who has only seen small villages and one posh, stuck up castle. this was barely what he was most afraid of though. the spiders were still around. Aracna might have been overthrown, or maybe even dead if Zeru was a bloody mad assassin zebra, but the spiders still roamed sewers, took lifes of ponies un-suspecting, and without some pony to lead them, they would most likely never stop poisoning ponies all across the streets. This was his worst nightmare. those damned spiders, had given him his worst of them all. not just the sea salt getting to his head, or constant nightmares of failing against aracna, back in the north. "i just hope that the grand galloping gala is some place i can go, without having the images of spiders race through my mind." yes, Two Pie had Arachnophobia. it was ironic, that he was about to go up against a big spider-pony. > The Grand Galloping Gala. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Pie, was on the train with Zeru. he had never been on a train, where changelings never constantly checked the train. they might have well just killed themselves, because they were hated, and useless. "this is quite peaceful. i just hope i dont see that damned princess, Aurora." "Two Pie, dont say that! you might have fun with her!" "she's using me Zeru, and i dont like that." Zeru didn't like Two Pie's tone, neither the topic. the next thing Two Pie saw, before a charm was casted on him, to love Aurora, was the glowing horn, of an angry zebra. The train ride was long, and finally ended at canterlot, where Two Pie would unpack his bags at the nearest inn, put on his night cap, and jump off to bed, to dream of the gala, which was luckily, the next day! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two Pie, woke up, and jumped out of bed, then saying "cambiare forma" the name of the drako, of changing form. he then, thought of a ravishing, silk, navy blue tux over himself, (only the waist up, since his tail would've ripped the pants) and thus appeared the tuxedo. "well. cant wait for a great night with Aurora!" said Two Pie, not knowing that he once hated that pony's own living guts. "well... thank you, my last changeling thief, for doing the job of making him forget about Aurora using him." said a no longer, huge, or even somewhat at all looking Aracna. she had over the years, been feeding off of her own changelings, and started slowly gaining their powers, for the better of her plan. she had gained the powes of her changelings, all to be able to morph herself, into an Aurora look alike. "time for the night i haven't had for 4 billion years, ever since discord started on me." She then, snickered and walked away, slowly, and devilishly. Two Pie, walked with Red, and Meenus, all going to the doughnut bar at canterlot, to spend two hours there, until the gala. "so, what do you expect to see at the gala? this year, i heard is themed comic style. might as well call it comic-con for equestria." said Two Pie, jokingly, after using his sixth sense, (the 4th wall breaking senses) for the first time in 3 years. Red, and Meenus cocked their heads over, confused at Two Pie. They didn't know what comic-con was, and they didn't know that it was only in the universe, this story is told in. (that's pointing to the reader right there. who said the narrator couldn't break the fourth wall as well?) "whats comic-con?" "oh, nothing Red." "well, it sounds stupid..." "well, its this place where a bunch of people get together, and cosplay as fictional characters!" "'People'? whats a 'People'?" Asked Meenus. "you.. wouldn't get it." "probably not, but im sure its stupid." As red said this, the chef came out, holding a tray of doughnuts, all fresh, and gooey. "thanks" Two Pie said, as he handed over 12 bits, 4 bits per doughnut. "yeah, just make sure to clean up after yourself this time" said the chef, looking over at a nervous, yet maliciously looking Red. The doughnuts were good. REALLY good. "these aren't as delicious as usuall, i wonder if they're doing this because the gala is happening tonight" said curious Red, looking over at the kitchen. "but no pony hasn't even gotten here yet!" said Two Pie, trying to start a conversation on this, for no reason. and it was an intense conversation, full of of their parents, the 20 year missed period of galas. a specially, Two Pie's story. Two Pie, whirled the whole conversation around, after 30 minutes, to his 6 year current endurance, all to realize that it had been taken away. They were a good audience, with Meenus letting out gasps at the right moment, and Red smacking his hood into the table every time there was something to be mad about. they were really interested, and wanted to hear more. so they asked what every captain looked like, how spike was, if he knows where that little girl is, and much much more, taking up the last 1 hour, and 30 minute period of time before the gala. The had gotten there, before the doors opened, and barely anypony was there! it was just the guard, princess Cadence, (who was now princess of equestria. she was still alive, yes) and a ravishingly looking Aurora, in a lovely gown, and her one big bun of hair, was gorgeous! she looked picture perfect, and Two Pie, would be her date. All though, Two Pie had once hated her, he loved her like no other ever did. "hello, my little Drago stallone" "Drago Stallone? thats dragon stallion... thats a perfect Drako name! thank you, luci principessa. thats dragon, for Princess lights, being that they dont have the name Aurora, in dragon, your name would be lights instead." "thats good! why dont you teach me more about the dragon language, as i give you a VIP tour of the gala" A VIP tour? wow, Two Pie was lucking in, and he was quite drunk from the amount of caffeine he had drunken, from the coffee in the bar, so he got the great idea that after 1 in the morning, he would surprise her in her room, at how good he could be while being slept with... "this, is the final part of the tour. the bedrooms, for all of the VIP guests, so if you want, you can stay here tonight... or, from your plan, in my bedroom, with me" Aurora, (you know what, lets call her, who she is.) Aracna, read his mind, and blushed, as hard as possible. she was accepting, to what would happen. this was her plan, and she would fulfill it no matter what. "how about a dance?" she finally asked the Drunken-sailor-dragon-warrior for a dance on the dance floor, and put out her hoof. "of course, anything for you!" said Two Pie, grabbing her hoof, then running to the dance floor. and yet, for his hyper active state, he was an excellent slow dancer, and gave her the kisses, whenever he would transition her from side to side. (listen, this next part of the chapter, will involve sex, but the smallest form of it. when it starts, i will just end the chapter there, and hope that you guys dont hate me for no rule 34. i will be revising the story after im done, and add a few things, so if you want rule 34, which im not that type of guy, to resort to rule 34 for good ratings, i might add it, if i get atleast 10 people saying "34 please" in the comments. just so you know.) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Quite the few hours later, it was finally past 1 in the morning, and Two Pie, then took the hoof of a tired looking "Aurora" really Aracna in disguise, and and walked slowly to her room, which was huge! it was as big as the tiny fishing ship, that Two Pie landed in the fish barrels, on. the bed, was gigantic, but two pillows were positioned in the correct order for this quaint hour or two of this. Two Pie wasn't going to be sure how long it was going to take, but wanted to know how it felt. so, he whipped of his clothing, saw the now bottom-bare Aurora, looking beautiful, in the bed. Two Pie, joined her, then penetrated her, once they were "in the right position" apparently to how Aurora said it. after that, it was a quick few minutes, then Aurora said "stop! thats... enough" she sounded fluttered "thats way better than i expected" then, They both went to sleep, with Two Pie, having his hoof over the side of Aurora, who now, was trying to contain her wing boners. (yes, that was a joke, i made a joke from rule 34. you might as well expect it every now and then in some stories.) Two Pie, then drowsed off into a sleep, that he would like for the rest of his life... > The dreamer of day, the creator of night. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Pie, woke up, at 9 or so in the morning. perfect night for him, and he was expecting that Aurora would tease him about it, as in inside joke from now on. he raised his hoofs, as he yawned, and stumble out of bed, falling on the floor, to see that the side Aurora was on, was empty. what was there, was a giant crushed side of the bed, as if... five vending carts from the ponyville market were all there, stacked together "what? where is she?" said Two Pie, still waking up, with one of his eyes closed. he threw on a grey jacket, and some red chucks, over his back hoofs, and walked out of the room. "what?!" he said, looking at the muffled ponies, stuck in the webs on the floor, walls, ceiling, and even hanging from the ceiling. they were all screaming, untill they saw Two Pie, who then fired up his no longer fire breath, but gas-like plasma breath. it was now blue, like his hair, and eyes. "damn it... that wasn't Aurora" Two Pie, was using his piecing abilities, to see the facts. the bed, the webs, and first off, he remembered that he hated Aurora! "that wasn't Zeru who changed my mind. no, Zeru is dead. that was a changeling. in its best. no wonder, his horn was no longer white and piano black! wait... that means." Two Pie, ran to the window, watching all hell rain loose. spiders everywhere, pony bodies, and... that little filly... she was outside the doors of the grand galloping gala. he then ran three floors down, through two giant gathering rooms, and to the doors, all to see the little filly he had given his coat to, dead. poisoned, and left to die for it all. "That poison is a lot more powerful than it was with the apple family." Two Pie, had grown to like the little filly, like a little sister he had never had. she was always nice on that boat, and had an imagination as big as equestria. she was holding a note in her mouth, and a frightened look in her eye. still no cutie mark either. Two Pie, then took the note, and read it. "Dear, Mr.Dragon Thank you for dat coat you gave me! it really helped me, through dat winter! She didn't even know how to write correctly, and yet. she wrote to him, thanking him all for a coat.. a gift, that would help her through a harsh winter. "damn it... i will have my revenge on that bitch. and i will make sure, that for our parents. for everypony who has died. for the little filly who i never got her name of. i will make sure that why she is evil. is shown. then i will kill her." That's when the guards showed up. they all had their spears out, and were pointing them all at Two Pie. "halt right there. you will die!" they all said at once. Two Pie, then unfolded his wings, and jumped over them. "AHH!" he yelled, putting a hoof over his left wing. one of the guards, had cut his wing STRAIGHT OFF. Damn it, don't you stallion's know that i'm on YOUR SIDE?" they only looked at him, and came speeding with their sharp spears coming forth, towards him. Two Pie, then ran straight forwards, panicking, he then shouted "fermare il tempo" stopping time, conveniently next to a shop, that sold fake working wings. he walked him, still holding his nubby old left stump, and took the wing that looked most like his. it wasn't hard finding it, but it was the only one of its type. he then fastened it on, and with a stabbing pain in his side, the wing connected to him, and started bringing his blood into it. fake veins, so that he could actually move it, and feel it. 'wow. magic is sure getting advanced now a days. personification to every day objects? that's just bonkers!" he then, took two daggers off of a rack in there, put them on his belt (which he had on, holding nothing other then the daggers) He then hid in there, and just let time start flowing again. after the guards left outside, he went outside, and finally got to use his dragon senses. he looked around, seeing all life forms. he was using heat tracking vision, as his dragon sense. but he had much MUCH more he could do with it than this. he was just looking for a giant spider-pony. "there. in the main throne room." he then, stealthily trotted over, and for two minutes, felt like this was going to be hard. But there were no guards, just the doors, which he kicked open at the right time, all to see the eyes of Aracna, glowing green. she was that half-spider-pony Aracna. not Aurora, but herself. she was looking into the eyes of Aurora, ready to feed on her soul, with the powers of... every single Drako, even Two Pie. He then, jumped on her, at tried pulling her away. he succeeded, but was thrown back after. she then walked up to Two Pie, on his back, hoofs spread apart, she stabbed one of her spider-like legs into his stomach. Two Pie, didn't scream. he just started getting up, while she went back, but then. his scales, turned a bright red, his hair a glowing blue, and his once blue eyes, transitioned from grey, to white to gold. he then, ran up to her, using his claws, he jurked her face to his, making eye-to-eye contact. both of their eyes were glowing and a white light appeared above their foreheads, making a line to each of their minds. then, Two Pie, went out of his body, and into hers. not controlling anything or seeing anything, he went to her memories for some reason. 4 billion years ago, she was sitting under a tree. not the giant spider, she was a beautiful pony, and she was watching spiders spin webs. her Cutie mark, and for once, Two Pie noticed a Cutie Mark, it was... nothing. she had no cutie mark. like Two Pie, before he became Drako... not blazewing, not drago stallone. he decided. Drako Pie was a good name. Drako Pie, watched as... a brown pony, with the Cutie Mark of a paradox... it was Discord, before he became... well, discord! Discord, walked over, and looked at her. sitting down next to her, he then started lying down. Aracna, or... Two Pie felt that, that wasn't her name. he felt that amante ragno was a good name. Amante, then lied next to discord, and they... started kissing? "what?" Drako Pie said, then puting his claws in front of his mouth. yet it didn't matter. none of them, made any indication that Two Pie was there. they kept kissing, and soon... well, you know what happened that night at the gala for Two Pie? yeah... after 1:00 pm. that thing, at the gala. Two Pie, looked away, and then felt a rush of air go past him. he was then, where Discord became discord. The Pony, was shouting at Amante because he apparently hated her. he had no reason. She then, spat at him, and walked away. Discord would not take this, so he literally shot a beam of... something of a color that Two Pie had never seen before, that hit her, and she fell over. suddenly, she started morphing, her flank was gone, and replaced by a spider's body, and she got up. looking at discord, she pointed a hoof, and thousands of spiders then started biting him, poisoning him, which he then started morphing to something else. Finally, Discord, (the one we know and love) walked up to her, and then apologized. she forgave him, realizing that she... she... she was speaking in dragon, to this now dragon, mutated pony. "oh my sweet celestia's flank all might, shes a bloody drako!" he shouted, trying to get out of the memory. he couldn't move, and they started walking away. following without force, Two Pie saw them causing pure chaos. Then, a pony with four wings. one horn, and Two green eyes. Two Pie then knew her by heart. she was Eclipse. the combination of Celestia, and Luna. this is how it would come down. They secretly came behind Discord, and sent him to the universe that we know and love. how he must have come to this. The then, shot the same beam at Amante, then hitting two spiders that blocked it. Amante, ran at them, and threw them over, making them hit the ground, without a yell. they got up, shooting back at her, but this time, she was smart. she morphed into a spider, a tiny spider, and crawled away, and what was behind her? a mirror to deflect, and hit the unity of two princesses, and splitting them apart, while sending them to the universe we also know and love. "holy crap. if it wasn't for her, an entire universe wouldn't exist like it does now." he then used his sixth sense to see how perfect it was. every day was good, ETC. then they saw eclipse back, fighting discord, and so many other enemies. Finally, Two Pie then went up to Amante, and on the snap of his claw, appeared in front of Amante. "What? where did you come from? you look rare, what if i took you under my hoof and make you my apprentice?" she was obviously not as smart as she was in his time. "i am Drako Pie. the Drako of dragons. the unity of them all in one. i am the future of you, and everypony after and before you. and im here, to make sure, that you... never get to do this to my life." he then, shot blue plasma, as bright as the sun, at her, not killing her, but.. healing her. something poisoned her, with darkness as she transformed. the plasma, only knocked her out, so that he could go deeper in, making sure that he could stop the darkness as it entered her. he then used his sight of purity, and went to the point where she became a Drako. he saw the darkness crawl to her, about to enter her eyes, and breaking from being frozen, threw himself in front of the darkness, being seen by them both, and got contaminated. he didn't become evil himself. he just, started disappearing. he woke up, looking into the eyes of, not Aracna, but Amante, the Drako of spiders. full pony form, she was looking at him, glowing green eyes. the webs started slowly dissolving, and freeing Two Pie's friends. Two Pie looked away, eyes no longer glowing, and started smiling. "i did it. im still alive!" they started cheering for him, then Amante then wrapped her hoofs around him, falling to his hoofs. she was knocked out, and Two Pie decided, that in order to allow everyone to forgive her. he then did something risky. he let every pony in equestria see what he saw in her memories, and allowing them all to realize that she wasn't a bad pony. Everypony, started forgiving her, as Two Pie carried her body across canterlot. she wasn't dead, but she was out cold. he then, put her in the VIP guest room that he was given, the night before and trotted outside. Red, Meenus, Aurora, Lily, and Diamond stood there, all smiling for his great victory. "this isn't my victory. this is all of our victories. without you all, i wouldn't be here, saving equestria." they all threw themselfs around him, hugging, and crying for him. Red told them the story of Two Pie, as meenus, the other pony who heard at the bar, just sat there, trying to think what her brother, Pucy would say. (something like "yeah, you did nothing but help him get around!" jokingly, in her mind) Two Pie, was absolutely ready to do anything, all for a bit of relaxation. but he then felt... something... take over, and start to stop his heart. "g-g- guys... i... i-i- i cant... my heart." he couldn't speak at all. "someone! give him CPR!" meenus said. Lily, then pushed everypony away, preforming CPR. but what ever stopped Two Pie's heart, wasn't giving up. The last thing Two Pie said, before closing his eyes, and leaving his body was. "its the darkness." > The epoca Drago. (the dragon era) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Pie stepped through the portal, all to find himself behind the tree of harmony. now a days, it was decaying, and tiny, so the dragons would have no problem getting out of the cave. He felt a pain at his side, where his prosthetic wing was, and it was bulging off. he realized, that his wing was growing back, so with a pulse of pain and blood splatter, he ripped off the fake limb, and out grew a perfect scaly wing. He then, stopped feeling pain, but rather felt adrenaline. He started galloping out of the cave, and flew out of the valley, all to find himself only, less than a mile away from ponyville. he then equipped his purity sight, and saw darkness everywhere, he then got his regular sight there, on the spot but it stuck with the darkness. black smoke everywhere, yet he could see through it. he then started flying to canterlot. much faster than before, he was flying not at 30 miles per hour, not 35, not even 50, but he was flying at 175 miles per hour, speeding along the sky, he gained speed. he then heard thousands of roars of fire behind him, then joined along for one roar, only to make a massive fire ball. if this enemy was solid, and had a body, this was going to for sure intimidate it. he flew into his fire ball, and with his own fire, he was on the inside of a great dragon, made of blue fire, in the sky. "For eqestria, canterlot, ponyville, all of my friends, family, and everypony who has died to darkness. this is the epoca Drago." he then, made a sonic rainboom, not much of a rainboom, only rusty red, and royal blue, due to his main and fur color, He reached canterlot, and with a burst of flames, exploded the dragon he was controlling into a great fireball, and to his surprise, all of the dragons that were following him, were all fighting changelings... thousands per dragon, this was no enemy to be exaggerating power over, only because he might be right with his exaggeration. He then looked into a window, seeing the his flames had temporarily turned his scales golden. something to like about his fresh from death, body. "i see you." he heard, from behind. it sounded like three voices at once. "what?" he said. throwing his head backwards all to see nothing. he just turned back, and galloped to the main tower of canterlot, where the grand galloping gala took place under. "wait." he said, scratching the ground with his claws to stop. "i gotta go get my friends first!" he then put on his heat tracking eye-sight, and saw them all, in the direction he was going. he then kept galloping towards them, dodging, sometimes putting ablaze, or doing other unspeakable things to them while keeping the flow of his galloping. He then jumped onto some carts on the side, and slowly gained leveling with the roof tops, and as he galloped he gained even more speed, trying not to make a single flaw. he then jumped to nothing, and unfolded his wings, gliding then flapping more and more to rise higher and higher. Now, the elements of harmony were spinning around him, feeling the other spirits of harmony around. He then broth fire on the wall, to get through, and flew up to the room where Amante was aracna in, for 4 billion years. Two Pie, for the first time. felt no fear, no redemption, only regret for ever becoming the Drako of dragons. "this isn't for anyone now that i think about it. only yourself." he then broke through the floor, seeing something that he would never think to ever see. the darkness had a body, yes, and it was the body of somepony specifically powerful. "Hello Two Pie," Aurora said. no, she wasn't Aurora anymore, she was "luci scure" he said, looking at her, with his eyes practically on fire themselfs. "yes, i am luci scure. but guess what.... im also chrysalis, and sombra, and nightmare moon. i am all in one, the dark energy that it took to create them, that i decided that this body would be taken instead." her voices rode the shock waves of darkness flowing into Two Pie like a surfer on a wave. it literally started penetrating his soul, and started turning him to a creation of it's. this would not happen in his mind, as the elements of harmony started flowing around him. the darkness, in fact started dying inside of him, along with the darkness around him, that he created a plague for the darkness that spread quickly. "i am the friend, of the children of night." he said, as at least 50 of the orphans from his orphanage he stayed at when he was 14 came out, in proper assassin suits. "i am the pirate of three ships." as he said that, a whole fleet of pirate ships docked around the tower he was in. "i am the brother of dragons." then his dragon army started hovering around the main tower. Two Pie's mouth started glowing. a bright royal blue. "I'm Two Pie. and my story, is just beggining. as he said that, he tele-ported out of the way, so the assassin's could shoot deadly curse beams at the darkness. the Pirate's shot heavy shots and mortars at her constantly. and the dragons? they were circling, keeping the darkness in the ring of Two Pie's forces. Two Pie was watching, from the ground, seeing all hell that he had created break loose. but that hell could be contained and killed. pirate ships fell, and the bodies of the assassins sometimes fell off as well. the dragons just glided to the ground, and became dust. and Two Pie, saw canterlot fall. he literally started watching changelings set things to fire, and the castle was... it was all going to hell. "one thing. can stop this." Two Pie, then using the powers of what he could get in the air, tele-ported his friends over to him, with the only thought that Twilight was doing this, not him. "Two Pie?" said Meenus. "is that you? why are you golden?" "its fire crusted." He then took the elements of harmony out, and gave them to his friends."take these. out parents gave them to me." they put them on, "but Two Pie, Aurora is dead." "yes, but Twilight will take that place." as he said that, Aurora's spirit appeared. she was all ready dead now. all together without questioning the whole part of their parents., and started focusing. they were all cringing with pain, from a first time use without being the real elements of harmony. Two Pie, out of them all felt the most pain. a Drako couldn't use the elements of harmony, because it would possibly kill him, by ripping him apart. but he still forced on. he opened his eyes, to see that he was starting to emit a rainbow... out of, his element of harmony, connecting the others, they all spun around Aurora's crown, and with a sudden burst of light. nothing. it didn't work. In fact, it did the opposite, because he looked around. "damn it, DAMN IT, DAMN IT ALL!" he said, yelling, getting to the ground, tears flowing down his scaly cheeks. where his friends were, were shattered gems, and piles of colorful dust. they were dead, only to Two Pie's head, that they were in the place where he was only a few hours ago. "This is it. that's the last straw, i am going to KILL YOU!" he yelled, as he pumped his back two hoofs, thrusting himself off of the ground, then spreading his still golden wings, he gained speed. no, he gained that all ready, he created a sonic rainboom the moment he lifted off of the ground. He was utterly pissed off, as he flew up, eyes glowing, seeing every Drako's life all at once, from birth to death, he saw what he could learn from them. "Alons-y!" he yelled, as he threw himself into Aurora's old body, it started to fall off ,then unfolding it's wings, and flying back up. "Fool! i am darkness, i am fire, i am death!" it said, with all three voices going on at once, it was as if it had multiple personalities. "i will kill you for trying to destroy me." it then, threw itself, growing claws like Two Pie had, into his chest. "AH!" he said, now falling to the ground. this time, he wasn't going to stop and become a drako. He couldn't move his wings, or anything other than his mouth. he watched this time, seeing the world fall towards him, spinning. he then murmured the name of a Drako that would fix everything. a Drako that had died, in his VIP bedroom from a changeling attack. "Amante Ragno" he then instead of morphing into anything, instead of becoming a corrupt spider pony or any of that. he fell onto a web, that broke his fall and made him land safely. It was made by hundreds of spiders at once when he said it. "thank you." he said, finally, waking up, and covering his wounds with his coat. "i know the darkness' past, and i wont watch it or ill just die again.. this time, im going to kill it on the spot." he then jumped off of the web, and walked away, to watch the tower fall. he watched canterlot fall, not from the mountains, but to the hands of darkness. "its time to shine light on this. i am Drako Pie. and i will not give up, YOU HEAR ME?" he was speaking to the darkness floating around him. it was stuck there. as if watching an interesting movie. "listen... first off, you, all of you! will die, what ever you'r name is, you'll die! second off, i made a promise all of those years ago, to kill the queen. Amante wasn't the queen, she was just there to be you'r body, i think i know who you are." he then started speaking old dragon-monk chants to find the true darkness. he kept speaking and speaking when he finally got it all in one body. it was... not sombra, not nightmare moon, or chrysalis, not anypony ever seen before. it was, the queen cambiando le tenebre. the queen, known as changing darkness. she let out a screech of pain, now in a body of her own, without creating it, or borrowing it. a body, of a princess's. a proper princess. like celestia. "you FOOL!" she had one voice this time. cambiando then jumped off and glided down quickly to decapitate Two Pie, but she was too late. she was caught in a web. Two Pie then said something that would change everything. "Drako Pie" he then, as if being like this, he turned into a Pony, that resembled princess celestia, yet he still had all the features of old Drako Pie, the little pony-Dragon. but now, he had a horn.... he was an Alicorn. He then, started charging his horn, wings ready to slice anything it meet object to object too, and his fire breath now charging as well. he then ejected forwards, wings sharper than stars, he sliced her in two, then stopped grabbing to the ground with his claws, shooting a beam of energy, making it wrap around his fire trail in the air, he started literally evaporating the enemy. she was dead, and there was no way of her coming back. "thats what you get, when you mess with my and my friends and family" he said, walking away slowly. > More than one came home. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was two months since the war, and Two Pie was elected Prince of equestria. he decided, that when the time was right, he would allow another election, when he wanted to join his friends after their deaths. "sir, would you like us to make sugar cube corner a land mark of great foods?" asked an architect pony. (if you want, and this is from an everything wrong with episode. you cant think of it as littleshyFIM) "yes, and the library that Princess Twilight lived in. she was always a great pony." He said, with a now deeper voice, and a beard! He wore a royal blue coat, with red linings, and golden couplets. he still wore his old chucks, but this time, they were somewhat the color of sand, not bright yellow sand, but white-yellow sand. he wore a crown that had only gems the color of the elements of harmony on them. his eyes, were slate blue now, and his hair was as blue as ever, along with his beard. his scales were no longer golden, but were that rusty-red look, with small hints of brown. he had his striking good looks, but now a days, he was just a bit nostalgic of his friends. "Two months... it is time." he said, confusing the work pony, that was holding the schematics for a new sugar cube corner. Prince Two Pie then got off of his throne, walked down the many steps to the ground, then walked outside to be greeted by hundreds of ponies all ready for a funeral. This funeral was the funeral of 12. His mom, his old friend's parents, his old friends and spike. The grave stones of the main six elements of harmony, had the elements of harmony on them, while spike's had Two Pie's old coat on it. His friends' grave stones had gems on them, that were their cutie marks. The funeral went on for hours, long and sad, everypony was crying except for Two Pie, which was puting them to peace, all until he remembered what was in his pocket. "wait. no, this isn't the end of their lives." he said, confusing the crowd. "in fact..." Cadence was at the funeral as well, she was with Shining Armor, and they were both morning the 12 losses. "Cadence... you must have the crystal heart with you, don't you?" The rusty-red prince asked. "y- yes... i do." she said, taking it out of her saddle bag. "can't ever be to prepared" "good, can i see it?' Two Pie asked, getting to the crowd. "yes, you can..." she replied, giving it to him, while looking confused. Two Pie, then touched his quite unusually patterned horn to the heart, and then started speaking about his friends, family, and mentor, spike. no pony could understand his whispering, then... it wasn't a sonic rainboom of rusty-red and royal blue. it was more or less an explosion from the heart, which shook the graves, and startled the crowd. "Alons-y!" he said, then charging his horn with something to take the dirt off of the graves. he then shot his beam, but instead of lightly taking the dirt off of the dirt, it flung the dirt off, and behind Two Pie. what was there, was 12 caskets, that were opening all at different times and being left empty when the pony inside got out. "Two Pie?" Pinkie said getting out, looking at The prince. "is that you?" she asked. "mom! guys! you all are ok!" he said, throwing hims hoofs around each one of them, at different times. "ah, i knew this story would come to a happy ending!" "Story?" asked Twilight. she was getting up, and dusting her wings off. "wait, you're an alicorn now?!" she said, looking at him. they were all in shock when they saw his new body, huge wings and horn, and his blue beard. the beard was just something he wanted though. "There is somepony missing though" he said, then looking down. For once, he felt a full stock of and remorse for somepony before. Yes, he had the feelings for Aurora before, but this was unbearable. this was just like a piece of him was missing. "i... i think its time i give the throne to a more rightful princess." He said, taking off his crown, and giving it to Twilight. "wait, dont you think i should? im the princess though! i should get the crown!" Aurora protested, as she watched Two Pie put the rightful crown on the mother of a spoiled brat. "Aurora, your mother has done everything for equestria that she can and could in her life. she has saved billions, while you? you have only save... none." he said, then looking into her eyes. "But I-" "Aurora. as not king of equestria, but a higher authority of equestria, i would ask you to stop your useless blabbering on about selfishness and actually give somepony else the spot light. Your mother has much better morals than you do as well, so shut your bloody pie hole up, and give somepony else a chance first." After Two Pie said this, everypony except Spike, was astonished at Two Pie's not rude, but... well, correct statement towards Aurora's selfishness. "thank you Two Pie" said Twilight. she then turned, and walked towards the throne room, which was only a 2 minute walk. "Two Pie, what would you say if you were made a king, instead of a prince?" she asked, looking at him with the glint of generosity in her eyes. "well, i would say no, but i think that equestria will have many enemies in the future that future Drakos will face against. and when they do, i MIGHT just need to be there to help, but i think they might get it." he said, looking straight forwards smiling as the guards opened the doors. "i might take you up on the offer. but i might just stay as my old self and let the leader ship to you, Princess." "ah, you're too kind Two Pie, but im serious. i want you to be king." "last time there was a king, stairs were the antagonist to you Twilight and you know that." he said jokingly, knowing it all ready after his fall from the canterlot tower, becoming Drako Pie. She let out a giggle, but then got a serious face on as if it were a mask. "you know? you must be using that sixth sense that you inherited on your 12th birthday." After that, Two Pie remembered somepony that he had forgotten from 4 years or so, of coming back home. "Zeru!" he said, then running back to the grave yard. he jumped over some little ponies, and slid under a fence which was still being built. He got to the grave yard with his horn charging, ready to bring back Zeru. luckily, the crystal heart was still there. he then touched his horn to the heart, and it shot a beam out uncovering a grave covered in vines and moss. "ello?" said the old and weakened zebra. "am I alive?!' he said, realizing that he had a body again. "Zeru!" it was the pony that didn't start it all, but influenced him to do things that would never be regretted. Two Pie, threw himself around zeru like a warm rusty-red blanket with white and royal blue features on it. "how are you buddy?" he said, getting off of the startled zebra. "fine, but why in the bloody hell are you an alicorn?" he was still speaking in an accent, yet spoke clearly. was it the alicorn ears that were doing it?
