> Dreams flow like ice > by USSOakland > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dreams flow like ice Black.Darkness.Nothing.The only thing Kasper Makarov saw was black that stretched on forever.It was something new for him he never sees darkness in the summer months.That's when he woke up.When opened his sad eyes and he could see clouds over him. He reached up and tried to touch them.To his surprise he's fingers found the cloud,but it wasn't a cloud it was cloth.He then realized that he was in his bed with the blankets over him.Kasper pushed the blanket off him and sat up on his cot immediately feeling the temperature change between the heat that accumulated in his blankets to the generally cold lab house he lives in.Shivering, he got up and grasped his thick insulated wind breaker vest and put it on.he walked over to his kitchen and made some toast,eggs and coffee.While he waited for his coffee to brew,he looked out his small 3" by 3" foot window and saw freshly fallen snow,there was always freshly fallen snow.The only geographic entity he saw was a small mountain range and a rocky shore with a sea crashing in to it.Out at sea he could make out flouting ice bergs and sea ice.The only living thing that was with him was a small impossible-to-kill-even-if-you-didn't-care-for-it potted plant laying on his kitchen table.He always had thought that the plant could die from Antarctica's harsh cold weather.So a few days ago he put it out side for a one day and then brought it in to see if it died,no luck.After that he felt bad for trying to kill his only friend,a potted plant, so he decided to never put it in harms way again and looked after the did-not-need-to-be-cared-for vegetation.He thought he was going insane when he first thought of the plant as a friend but when your out in a place were your closet neighbor is across the continent you'll be surprised with what you can make friends with.Heck,you could bring back a old child hood imaginary friend if you stayed here long enough. Kasper has been here for 4 years 27 days and 8 hours studying ice again and again and for a group that works with the United States of America and New Zealand.The group is called the S.A.P(Secrets of Antarctica Project).The group works to study what life was like before Antarctica became a frozen wasteland.There are some labs that the groups are station in but they are on Antarctica's less colder peninsula and those labs aren't even manned year round!The thought of a station not being manned year round made Kasper shudder not because of the cold but because of the idea of not wanting to be in such a beautiful place like Antarctica.Kasper guesses that him being here so long made him like the cold and lonesomeness.but it was not always like this,he usually did like a small cold crispness in the air when he lived in the mountains of New Zealand.but he did not like the bone chilling cold of Antarctica.when he first got here he was only 14 years old and hated this place with all his heart not because of the cold but because of the kids that he used to live with on the peninsula.They would make fun of him because he would like to study this Frozen hell's coldest places.They would call him names because he was just a little different from the rest of the group.Most of the kids where the children of the researchers that wanted to fallow in their parents footsteps which was ether studying the continent's Biological life or the sea life that lay underneath the ice flows.But what they really started to make fun of him is when 2 years ago when he became a brony.That's when the teasing became taunting and the taunting became threats. About 1 year ago his mother died.His last family.The last one that cared about him and welcomed his My little Pony love and his passion to study Antarctica's geology and ice.She died on an expedition to a mountain range where a bad storm hit their camp and froze everyone like ice-cubes.That's when the bullying became worse, but a opportunity opened to him.His work that he presented to the S.A.P interested the group leaders and he was given a small lab that was located in the middle of nowhere.When they said that he would be working with people and only stayed their seasonally he declined and asked to work alone year round and to change the location to a half mile from the mountain range where his mother died.The group leaders accepted and sent him to his station where he would stay for 12 years.Or in other words he would live there happily ever after the end!But this seemed to be what he imaged,to live here forever and ever.Antarctica is the place his mother perished,Antarctica is the place he will live,Antarctica is the place he will die.Antarctica is his destiny. After a quick breakfast Kasper went outside in his protective snow gear to clean off the snow bound that always comes with mornings.When he was done he went back inside,gave his plant a few drops of water from a small baster and then headed over to his computer to watch a new MLP episode.He was very grateful that the S.A.P had internet through satellites so he could be connected to the world out side of his icy one.After one episode and a fanfic or two,he went back outside to chip the ice frost off his radiators so that they didn't freeze and he wont die from hypothermia while sleeping.When he was finished he looked in to the sky to see what time it is,only forgetting that in the summer months of Antarctica the sun never sets.So once remembering that he looked at his wristwatch to see the time."O crap"Kasper said while making his way to the station's door.He had almost forgot his weekly ice drill,inside he took off his snow gear,put on his lab coat and started heading to the Ice Drilling Dock(I.D.D.) to get the latest sample of the ancient ice.When he was there he turn on the drill and it came to life,the drill then lifted its self out of the ice-ground reveling the prehistoric ice that it drilled out.The machine then gently moved the ice poll out of the drill and the placed it on the Laboratory's examination table for research.Kasper then moved to the table and used a hack-saw to cut a thin slice of ice from the poll and putting the ice under a microscope.He saw different colors in the ice which reminded him of Rainbow Dash's mane,but he knew he could not be thinking of such things during work.All the colors in the ice where different gasses that existed durning the time the water froze into ice.There was a lot of oxygen in the air at the time also a lot of nitrogen in the small traces of dirt. That means that their was an abundant amount of vegetation growing in Antarctica,Kasper was very excited to carbon-date the dirt and pebbles in the ice but that would take a while so he would put that off until another time.When he finished his research for the day he took off his lab coat and walk to his bathroom to get ready for bed.He splashed water on his face and looked into the mirror to see him self.He was 18 years old and had light blue eyes,his hair was black but with a hint of red from his father.Kasper missed his father,he died in a shipwreck of the coast off New Zealand when Kasper was 10.From all those years of sorrow, barely no sun, and work he was pale and had a permanent look of sadness in his eyes. After he freshened up for bed he went to shut down his computer to save energy.Before shutting down his computer be saw his wallpaper of the mane six smiling and cheerful.The one of the only things that makes him smile is seeing others happy.but where he is now, he almost never smiles.As he got into bed the picture of the mane six still lingered in his mind,Kasper hoped that this image would visited his dreams to make his sorrow and worries melt away like ice. __________________________________Twilight's Library_____________________________________________ After a long night of studying Twilight Sparkle finished her last book.With a loud smack she closed the book and put it in the "out pile", she had just finished all the books in her "in pile" that used to be at the end of the room but now that pile is empty.*Sigh* "I think I should turn in for the night"said Twilight while she walked up to her room.When she reached her bed room she got in to her bed closed her eyes and fell asleep.That night she had a strange dream. Twilight was laying down on some thing cold and hard,when she opened her eyes she was no longer in her bed.She was atop a mountain over looking a snow covered land.To her right she saw large stormy ocean with ice floating on its surface and to her left she saw nothing but snow,ice and the mountain range she was standing on.In front about half a mile away of Twilight she could see a strange looking chrome ball.The ball look like it was made like a soccer ball but it was chrome.Then a strange figure came out of the ball. it was wearing some sort of protection gear and its face was covered.Over its eyes she could she a shiny orange glass protecting it like goggles.The creature was making its way to a small room about 40 feet from the chrome ball.The creature then fell and stayed their while the snow piled up on it. "He was the one to save you,but I will kill him"said a mysterious voice that seemed to come from every direction. "Discord"said Twilight defensively.She tried to ready an attack spell but she soon found she had no magic. "Oh dear your witle punny horwn wont work"Said Discord mockingly.Twilight was scared that if Discord was free she had failed in protecting Equestria.But some how Discord could read her thoughts. "No my dear you haven't failed.....yet." said Discord semi-reassuringly. "But whaaahh..." Said Twilight confusingly "I'm sure you have meany questions but I will only answer a few"said Discord's voice. "Number one,what you are seeing is an interpretation of the future to come. He will die and Equestria will die his same fate" "Number two,he his the only one that can save Equestria and bring peace forever bla bla bla.But he is the exact opposite of the soul of Equestria.While Equestria is happy,warm,and friendly he is sad,cold,and lonely.This entity will save it from the very thing that almost killed your land in the very beginning." "Number three,sadly,I did not escape from my stone imprisonment.But I did some how worked my soul in to the Dream world.Every soul always visits the Dream world while sleeping.In the Dream world there is no connection to magic,Think of the Dream world as a river,strong,ever flowing and crystal clear.The current that the Dream world makes is so strong not magic can enter it making it impossible for Ponies and Humans alike to really understand it." "Then how could you enter it?"Said Twilight. "Like I said,I will only answer a few questions" said Discord "This will never work Discord"Said Twilight in a deep intimidating tone "O I'm very sure of that my dear"Said Discord sarcastically "I believe its time for you to wake up Miss Sparkle" A loud sound like if Twilight was standing under a waterfall was being heard.after that darkness,nothing then light. She opened her eyes to fined she was in bed with the sun light beaming on to her.Then she recalled the events of last night's dream and shivered like an ice cube was being slid down her spine. [I decided to wright these story chapters because I was feeling very alone and sad.hope you guys liked the first chapter of the story there will be more coming soon and PLEASE leave comments and rate need some constructive criticism] > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 In the unconscious mind of Kasper Makarov, all that could be seen was nothing and darkness. Not an unusual dream for Kasper nothing really happens at his lab station so his subconscious brain doesn't have much to work with while dreaming. But this night he had an actual dream. Out of darkness came light, from light came shapes, And from shapes came surroundings and an environment. He looked around his surroundings, he was on a large ice berg it was about 40 feet tall but with a flat top. Someone could easily mistaken the ice berg for an island, below he could see a storm accruing down on the ocean's surface but the ice berg he was on seamed to not be affected by the storm's wrath. On the ocean's surface he could see hundreds upon thousands of ice flows as far as the eye could see. "Hey kiddo" Said a kind but adventurous voice. Kasper spun around to see a woman sitting on one of the meany rocks that lay the ice berg's flat surface. Once Kasper saw the woman almost simultaneously thousands of happy memories started to flood back,but just for an instant. A once black void in his heart was filled with warmth and happiness, but just like the memories it vanished within an second. "Mom" Said Kasper while trying to suppress his tears. "Yup its me" Said Kasper's mother. Kasper ran up to his mom and hugged her. She smelled of fresh cold water and sea salt. Her hair was smooth and silky. Her skin was soft but rough at the same time, she was cold but warm. Every thing he had remembered of her was still there. "Mom...how did you ....I don't even?...." Stuttered Kasper. "Kasper how I got here is not important, the reason I am here is" Said Kasper's mother lovingly. Kasper pulled away and said, "Mom why are you here, not to be mean or anything but....shouldn't you be in a better place?" Kasper looked around and then turn to his mother, "Wheres dad?" Kasper's mom look up into the sky and said, "Your father is in a better place,he has no more duty's he must fulfill, unlike me." "But mom your life was a happy one, why would you not be at peace?" Kasper's mother looked back at him with ambitious eyes and said, "Kasper, I have one more duty I must fulfill." Kasper nit his eyebrows in confusion. He did not know why his mom wouldn't be in heaven or were ever spirits go to live forever. Was there something that she never did? Was it something she did do? Kasper then came up with a conclusion. "Mom was the reason you did not rest in peace was that you died on that mountain range with out seeing me again?" "No Kasper, I died doing what I loved and I was happy to see you to do what you loved no matter what" Said his mother "Oh" Kasper said thoughtfully. He had had ran out of ideas of why his mother was here,but apparently those reasons did not matter to what the news his mother had. "Kasper,son, I have news that will change your life forever, and it will put me at peace." Once hearing this, he then turn his attention from his feet to his mother and said, "What news, is it bad?, is it good?" "To you yes it is good. But what you chose to do while fulfilling your destiny will affect two worlds drastically." Said his mother in a warningly tone. "So what is it?" Said Kasper with eagerness in his voice. "Come, sit, and I will tell you" Said his mom while she patted a spot next to her on the rock she was sitting on. Kasper walked over to the rock and sat down on it. His mother then started to speak of the news that he needed to know. "Kasper, When you have dreams of Antarctica the dream means that in life no matter what it throws at you, you will over come it even if the odds are stacked against you. To dream of Antarctica, means you have and you will brave the harshest conditions the world has to offer." "Your journey will be tough and ruthless,but no matter what happens never give in, never give up, NEVER." "The fate of two worlds hang in the balance of your choices and actions,chose your path wisely." Kasper then spoke up and said, "What if I don't want to do the journey?" His mom looked him in the eye and said sternly, "You have no chose. You will take this journey its your destiny. Your the only one who can,the only one how is not evil or good. Your netrual you have no sides, no view points , you are the only person that can completely turn humanly good or evil." "After you are sent to your journey's start, your path is what ever you chose." Kasper was in shock. He never thought of himself as a someone. He always thought of himself as that internet meme "Forever Alone". His mother then touched his forehead and a sea-foam green color light encased his body and as quickly as it came it evaporated in to water particles. Kasper said in awe, "What the heck was that?" His mother smiled warmly and said, "I have gifted you. The gift will ad you on your journey but do not abuse your power." "Cool, what does it do?"Said Kasper. "You'll find out in time my son.You must wake for your journey now,You will find everything you will need for the journey in your station." Kasper then jumped up and protested, "Wait! Mom,will I see you again? Will we talk again? Please don't leave!!" "Once you fulfill your destiny I will be at peace,but remember I will always be with you in your heart."said his mother while she dissipated. "Mom,MOM NO!!" He screamed but then every thing dissolved in to dust. He heard a sound like water being poured 50 feet from a large bucket and hitting the ground. Then he woke up. He woke early in the morning but something was off, he did not see the sun through his windows. He looked at the clock on his nightstand, the clock showed that the time was 1:00 AM. He then heard a loud Thunk hit his station house,He now knew that his station was caught in a blizzard.He got dressed and walked into his kitchen then he saw something shiny and metallic on his table. He went over to his table to find a cobalt blue amour and helmet. But what really surprised him was a metal object that lay out of its sheath.It was a sword. Kasper put on the amour that lay on the table, attached his sheath to his belt but before he sheathed his sword he picked it up and got a good look at it. The sword was a Navel Cutlass that had a slight curve to it, the thought of the sword being curved made him chuckle because he remembered a Skyrim meme "See those Warriors from Hammerfell, they got curved swords.CURVED.SWORDS." he then snapped out of is thoughts and turned his attention to the amour he was wearing and the Cutlass. The sword was balanced perfectly in his hand it felt like nothing and its hilt was made out of what looked like a narwhal's tusk. His amour was well fitted to his body and his helmet fit perfectly like it was apart of his head. The helmet did not move when he did so he could see everything with out the helmet obscuring his vision. His attention then turned to the flickering lights and a sudden temperature change. He then realized what caused the lights to flickering and the heat to turn off,his generators were shutting down from the blizzard. "Crap"Said Kasper while turning to the door. He faced the door and put on his snowboarding goggles under his helmet and stared at out the door's small port-hole window. He knew what he had to do,Kasper had to go out in to the blizzard and thaw out the generators.Then Kasper opened the door and stepped out in to the snow and ice. [Hell ya made another chapter!!! :{D the next chapter is going to be an awesome monster-killing-mountain-climbing-kick-ass-time so ya its going to be fun to wright *P.S spring break is over FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU (\] > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2 The ice and snow felt like cold daggers ripping through Kasper's skin and turning the exposed flesh into frozen burning ice. But despite the the freezing cold he trudged through the snowbound and wind painfully but he needed to get to the generators. With every step it felt like trying to stand with ten trucks pushing on his right side from the wind. In addition to the wind,he could not see much in front of him, the only thing he could see was a faint glow of green and white from the generator's housing beacon. he was almost there only 7 meters (23 feet)left,he could see the flood lights light up from his motions has he staggered to the generator housing. Under him just a foot away, some ice accumulated and was hidden under the snow......he walk some more while thinking to him self, "Ok,the good thing is that the armor is insulated so my core body temp- THUNK "AHH" Kasper yelled while he fell "Aw crap" Said Kasper as he tried to get up, but his foot somehow got stuck under the piece of ice and it wouldn't budge when he moved. "hrmmmm......grrr......mother.....the hell is that?" While Kasper struggled to get his foot out from under the ice he heard a high pitched whistling and turned his head to see what made the noise,sadly he found out. When he turned his head he saw a roundish object come hurling out of the darkness straight towards him, the object was a hail shard the size of a soft ball. But before his brain could register the hail shard and make him move out of the way, it hit him. Before it hit him he said one thing before slipping in to unconsciousness, "Aw Fuc-" WHACK! __________________Ponyville Beach_____________________________________________________________ Diamond Tiara was at Ponyville Beach on photographer duty to get some pictures for a story in ponyville's newspaper. She had been walking for two hours but nothing seemed to be juciey enough for a newspaper article. "UGHHH! I hate doing photography, its so boring!" she said out loud, luckily no one was around to hear her complain. She was running out of ideas for a beach story that was True but interesting. She wanted to be somewhere else for the story but it the newspaper had a summer issue so she had to have stories and pictures about the beach or something involving summer. She had stopped walking at a sea cliff about 12 feet high from a local surf spot. She was happy that she found a place where stuff actually happens, but those feelings quickly diminished when she found that there were not surfers. It was high noon and all the fishing boats were out at sea or coming in to the harbor to process their catch. While she was looking at a fishing boat pull up a catch, something caught her eyes. What she saw was air distortion, like if you were to see the air right over a fire. Diamond Tiara heard a noise like if a Pegasus flew close to the sound barrier, she looked into the sky, she witnessed steaming objects fall through the cloud layer and hit the ocean. Once the objects hit, they created a huge splash sending a large white column of water to shoot strait into the air. The largest object that created the huge splash came out of the of it and started hurtling towards the beachhead. "AHHHH" she said while ducking to avoid shrapnel form the incoming object. vrrrrrrrrrrVRRRRRRRR, BOOM!! The beachhead exploded with a large amount of sand tossed up and the object created a large crater on the sand dune. Diamond look up from her forelegs to catch sight of the object. It was steaming with a loud hissss!! and it made sounds like if a heat radiator would turn on and its metal would expand. Then the object started to move and eventually a strange creature came out of the object, wait it WAS the object! The creature stood on two legs and had long armor covered arms. The armor only came up to about its elbow, its head was covered in a helmet and it had sword at its side. To Diamond Tiara it looked like a large hairless monkey about 6 feet tall,That's a foot taller that Princess Celesta! she thought to her self. The creature grunted and started to walk out of the crater it made. If something could survive an impact like that it must be very powerful and dangerous. she thought. She then had an idea of what to to do, she snapped some pictures of the creature before fleeing. If she could get the word out about the creature through the newspaper it would be captured and nopony would be hurt. Diamond Tiara then started to gallop as fast as she could towards ponyville. ___________________________Earlier______________________________________________________ Kasper had quickly fell into unconsciousness after being hit in the face by the huge piece of hail. He didn't feel anything at first but then his feelings came back, the feeling of air rushing in his ears, the pit that formed at the bottom of his stomach while falling, wait falling? Kasper opened his eyes to see white and blue, he was falling over a harbor with a cloud layer blow him. Large pieces of ice falling alongside with him, they were steaming and made a loud whistling. He then turned his head his head to see the ocean about 300 feet below him, it looked like he was going to hit it any second. "AW YOU GOT TO BE KIDIN-" FOOOSHHH!!! A huge white column of water was propelled into the air where Kasper hit the water. Then with one big smack he was skipped across the harbor at lighting speeds and gained a small amount of altitude before crashing into a dune right below a sea cliff. Thank god that he didn't hit the cliff, if he did he would probably turned to scrap metal and Jello. He opened his eyes to find he was lying in crater about 23 feet across, he got up and grunted at the pain that shoot through his right shoulder and winced. Kasper then proceed to walk out of his crater, surprisingly the armor didn't have a scratch on it considering he almost broke the sound barrier and hit the beachhead at that speed. Damm....whats this stuff made of? freaking vibranium? (Marvel universe reference). He looked into the distance to see mountains that lead of to a castle hanging of the side of it. Kasper thought that the castle looked familiar but he couldn't remember plus the castle was far way. For some reason he couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching him.... "Well better start travailing to those mountains"he said under his breath. Kasper continued to walk towards the blue mountains in the distance. [Well I guess that there where no monster-ass-kicking-time in this chapter(sorry D:) and sorry for it being so short but I promise you in the next chapter there will be monster-ass-kicking-time and it will be long so stay tuned for more :{D] > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3 The Trek to the mountains was long but worth it. Kasper had to run through woods at the base of the mountain trying to avoid something that was following him. After he escaped the woods he had to rock climb up 300 feet of rock to get to a flat plateau that lay very high atop the mountain. Once there he could see the entire landscape around him, to his left a small town that lay outside rolling hills and a dark forest. To his right he could see where he came from, a large bay with a small sea town located on the bays right side. In front of him or more specifically blow him, was a large castle over looking a city that was built into the mountains. Kasper could have sworn that he saw that castle before but right in the middle of his remembering was a deep growl. Kasper turned around to see a large K-9-bear like animal staring him down. Kasper froze like the ice that accumulated on the animal's fur. "Holy....Crap" said Kasper still standing frozen on the spot. The Animal heard him and lunged, Kasper quickly jumped out of the dog-bear's claw. Kasper guessed that his voice triggered the attack, He was a good distance away from it so he looked for a way out, no way out, dammit. Kasper knew that with no escape, he had to fight it. Looking at his new sword he grasped its hilt and pulled out the navel cutlass preparing for battle, he really wanted to try this thing out since he first got it. The dog-bear turn back to him and beard its frozen teeth in intimidation, the animal charged Kasper head on. Kasper could see it coming his way and felt a cold felling run through his veins, his cutlass seamed to have reacted to his feeling and it started to emit a fog like dry ice but then the fog that the sword created got sucked back in like if it was a vacuum. He stared at it for a second before remembering the animal and again side stepped while slashing it. The dog-bear fell to its side and lay still not a sound it made,wait I think I missed, then how did I still hit it?. Kasper saw on the side of the beast was a slash mark that his sword made even though it didn't hit it, the slash mark didn't even look like one, it looked like if the fur fell off and the skin was shrunk and sucked in. A strange fog came out of the slash mark and made its way to his cutlass and got sucked into it. "Wow dude, that freaking crazy and awesome." Said Kasper out loud. He decided it was now a good time to make it down from the mountain before more dog-bear things come along. Before leaving the mountain he took one last look at the heights, "Wow, now I know why mom always worked on these things." Kasper looked down at his feet remembering his mother, then snapped out of it and started to head down the mountain. It was a long hike down mountain but not as long as it took to get up it. Once at its base he turned to a dark forest that he saw on the mountain. Kasper decided to go inside the forest to find some food, he was starving but for some reason when he killed that animal atop the plateau he felt like the fog its wound emitted satisfied him just a bit. In the forest he could see bogs and thick vegetation growing everywhere, Kasper just used his sword to cut through it easily. About a minute into his hacking and slashing he hit something soft but hard, his cutlass easily slashed it in half but when it fell it made a hissing noise. Kasper looked down to see a snake head the size of a basket ball fall to his feet and bear its fangs before dieing. What the hell?..... his thoughts where interrupted by a loud HISSsssss!!!.... wait it wasn't one hiss, it was way more than one like 10 more. he looked up to see 10 snake heads rise up to him at eye level and simultaneously bear their fangs at him. "RUNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!" he said out loud while sprinting past the hydra. Kasper sprinted for his life through the thick forest looking for any way out of it. He could hear the sound of heavy foot steps ring through the forest. He ran even faster when he heard it, then out of the corner of his eye he could see an opening with sun light.YES!!!! he thought and turned in its direction and sprinted out in to light. Still running he saw an opening of a town, wait, is that PONYVILLE?!?! he said while sprinting into town. just behind him was a large snake beast with 10 heads running after him. All the ponies in town stopped to see a strange bipedal creature sprinting for its life away from a hydra. Kasper stopped in town square and drew his cutlasswhy so meany MONSTERS! he thought. "if its a fight you want its a fight you'll get" he whispered to him self. Kasper Screamed and charged at the creature head on. (so that's my chapter for now to keep you guys at bay (sorry for the long wait) any way the story will get better while it goes on and it will play into the second fic aswell. hope you liked the chapter, bye for now guys! :{D) > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4 What the hell am I doing? Kasper thought to him self while running straight at a ten headed hydra. He was a few meters from the large snake monster, Kasper had already drew his sword and ran screaming a battle cry. All the ponies where in shock as a large 6 foot bipedal creature with a sword ran after an even larger 20 foot hydra, everypony that was in town had a similar thought,Whats happening, and why the hay is that creature charging a hydra?!. Kasper drew closer to it,the hydra had seen this coming, Kasper is playing in to its trap. Kasper jumped at the hydra while having second thoughts, he tried to swing and cut the nearest head to him. The hydra had other plans, one head tried to bit him in half Kasper saw this coming and ducked while in mid air. When Kasper was close to it, he brought down his sword on to the hydra's belly he only had cut only a little bit of the hydra before getting swatted like a fly, and he didn't even see it coming, HELL YEAH TAKE THA- POW!! Kasper was flown across town, sailing through the air like a home run baseball. His sword was thrown from his grasp and skidded across the town's cobble stone street. seconds later he impacted Ponyville's library ripping through its wood walls like paper. After the dust cleared, a stunned Twilight Sparkle jumped up from watching the fight outside her window above her bed an froze at the sight of a creature laying in a pile of rubble and a large gaping hole in her upstairs wall. The creature groaned and got up slowly then something happened, it talked, Kasper grunted and said,"ow,That really HURT." He looked over to see the hydra roar in victory, "Yup, that fuckers gonna get." Kasper jumped out of the tree house through the hole he made and looked for his sword, "Where the hell is it?" he thought out loud.He saw that his sword was right behind the large snake beast,DAMMIT! He then had a crazy idea, "if I could some how get around it, I could win this." Kasper planted his foot in ready for his suicidal run for his sword, he started to make a mad sprint for his blade, "LETS DO THIS,LEEEEEEEEERROOOOOOOOOOY JEN- SHIT!!!" screamed Kasper before getting wrapped up by one of the hydra's necks. He was lifted up to all of the other heads while they all hissed at him. One head opened its mouth to reveal a tube like tongue, it then spit out of it a steaming green-yellow fluid at him. Kasper ducked and looked behind him to see the liquid hit the ground and slightly melt through it. Kasper turned around and said, "O great, you spit acid, my lucky day." The rest of the hydra's heads got ready to spit acid again, Kasper thought out his options in his head, Ok my sword is gone so I'm screwed,can't get out of its death hold, still screwed, so looks like I'm screwed all together. Wait, my powers, my GIFT!. Kasper then looked at his free hand and tried to find out how to activate his powers, he couldn't find a way to, nothing he even tried a Spider Man web slinging hand position but still nothing. Then the hydra hissed and, all of the heads spit acid at him. Lucky he saw some coming and dodged most but the unthinkable happened, one head had seen this coming and waited for him to be off guard and spit. After Kasper missed all of the corrosive saliva, the last head attacked, sending a wad of acid hurling towered his face. At impact Kasper felt half of his face start to be dissolved away from the spit. Kasper screamed in pain, his dreadful cries could be heard all through Ponyville. All the ponies who where watching the fight all ran or looked away from the terrible,graphic,death that the ape creature was experiencing. Kasper felt as if tiny little fire ants that where on fire was eating through his flesh and bone, then he did something on instinct, the pain that he experienced made him involuntarily put his hand on the hydra's neck that was holding him. The pain triggered his gift to come to life, his eyes started to emit a large amount of fog and his hands started to create frost that crawled up the hydra's neck and body, sucking away flesh,organs,and muscle from the hydra leaving only skin and bone that made it look like a bag of bones. A huge amount of fog started to come of the frost infected areas of the serpent and made their way too Kasper body and face, repairing his face wounds and strength. The hydra tried to let out scream, but only mist and silence came out of its multiple mouths. It then droped Kasper to the ground and collapsed in a heap with its mouths open screaming in silence, dead, it was dead. Kasper on the other hand was absorbing its life, with every bit of fog and mist he absorbed he could feel his senses sharpen, he could see as well and clear as a hawk, he could hear the sound of the frost consume the hydra, he had the smell of a bloodhound,and he could feel a thousand times better then before. Kasper was now fully healed and he could see the fog that he emit start to go away. Everypony that was watching fell to silence, Kasper then lifted his hands in front of his face, and said "So that's what I can do.Hun." (ok that's what his powers are, so you guys can stop wondering and asking now lol. Any way my laptop is still getting fixed so I will probably have slow updates due to my old dinosaur computer, hope you guys liked it and also check out my other short 2 chapter story I have. It's scary for all you horror loving Bronys out there, bye guys :{D) > Chapter 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6 ...........................dammmm...................... That was the only thought Kasper had while he stared in awe at his extreme-frostbite-death-victim laying on the cobblestone street in front of him. He turned around and looked at everypony and had a strange feeling start in his stomach and work its way to his chest then a searing pain engulfed him. Kasper dropped to the ground on one knee and shut his forcefully, a split second later he opened his eyes wide and alert then only to droop with a scary look. he then had a horrific thought, I want their souls. he look at all the ponies in town with lustful for death eyes, with every pony he made eye contact they all froze up and then ran. At that point everypony was running or screaming for dear life, then something stopped his about-to-be killing spree, something at the back of his mind said No. He then snapped out of it and had one thought run. Kasper ran out of town and in to a nearby apple orchard. _______________25 minuets earlier: Twilight Sparkle's Tree house/library_________________________________ Twilight had just woken up and headed down stairs to break her fast. She was about sit down at the table for breakfast see saw a interesting news paper article. the front of the news paper said in big black bold letters,STRANGE CREATURE FALLS FROM THE SKY. Twilight looked at it in confusion and saw a picture of a strange bipedal animal standing in a crater. She turned to spike and said to loudly. "Spike did you see this!?" Spike was flipping some pancakes and said, "yeah I saw it, do you think its real or fake? I think its real." Twilight looked at him and then back at the picture, then her scientific part of her kicked in. "Of course its not real, no creature in Equestria is bipedal beside dragons, its defiantly a hoax its just a pony in a suit." Spike then turned from his work at breakfast and snapped back, "Its not a hoax! it looks WAY to real to be fake, I mean no pony can hold a position like that straight on two back hooves. Plus its arms are to long." "Ok Spike, maybe its a statue or a mannequin." "No way Twi, its too life like." He is not giving up is he? She thought. "Ok fine, its real even know it could be a elaborate hoax." Twilight sighed. "Yeessss!" said Spike. Twilight rolled her eyes and then heard something, it sounded like a roar. "Did you hear that?" said Spike "Yeah" said Twilight "I'm going to see what it was." Twilight got up from her set and went up stairs to investigate. When she got there she looked out the window to find a scary sight. A large bipedal creature 6 feet tall was charging a hydra. Twilight gasped and looked on in fear and amazement, the creature jumped with a sword at the hydra and prepared to stab but the hydra whipped its tail it at, sending the creature hurling towards her house. "AHH!" screamed Twilight as she ducked from the impact. BOOM,CRASH!!!! The sound of her upstairs room being torn apart was defining. She opened her eyes to see what damage was done, Twilight saw the creature rise up from the rubble and debris and look at her then to the gaping hole in the wall and then talk. it talked. The creature then jumped out of the hole and charged the hydra, Twilight watched as the creature charged again and try to run around it but the hydra grabbed the creature and lift it to the hydra's hissing heads. The hydra then began spiting acid at the creature, she then saw it doge all the acidic saliva but one. Twilight stared in horror as the creatures face began to melt off, she then turned away from the stomach churning sight. She waited for its screams and suffering to stop. Finally it did,but now there was a strange silence, she looked out her window to find a bag o bones hydra laying on the street with a strange misty fog coming out of it. To the Hydras left, she saw the creature stand in place for a second the drop to one knee, then Twilight felt a very strong,dreadful, magic pulse emit from the ape creature's body. Twilight stared in horror as the creature's eyes turned solid black, it then eyed every pony like a crazed murder. Then as quickly as the dreadful magic came, a strong felling of renewing and light washed over Twilight for a few seconds before disappearing with the now running creature towards Sweet Apple Acres. Kasper had been running for a good ten minuets now. he had no idea were he was going until he found a dirt road and started to run in its direction. Further down the road he came across an apple orchard, he slowed down and decided what to do. Kasper looked around to see the orchard was a fairly good size, he could hide and make camp in it until he figures out what to do. Kasper started to walk into Sweet Apple Acres, where he vanished under the cover of the setting sun.
