Chapter 1:The begining

View Online

It's a new day in Ponyvile and the rest of equestia, Celestia's beutiful sun rising frum the east. At this time, all ponies wake from their sleep. One unicorn foal, however, continued to rest.for no one he used to know was there to wake him. His mane and tail was of the same pattern as fire, his body grey as ash,and his eyes ,still closed, hid ruby red eyes.

He was at peace still under the lone tree that protected him frum the sun. About 30 minutes later is when this little one wakes up. He slowly opened his eyes, revealing his ruby red eyes to the beutiful morning.he got up to a sitting pose and was waiting for his freind, Hazy Gust. Hazy gust was a pegasus foal with a light blue body, light blue and dark blue mane and tail. Unlike most pegasi, he had larger wings. He was the one between the two who got his cutie mark, a light post in a dark fog.

The fire unicorn began to see a blue figure fly towards him like a lone rain drop.The young one waved at the pegasus, shouting,"Morning Hazy Gust!" the pegasus landed near the firy one replying with,

"Mornin' Rage. I got breakfast leftovers for ya." He pulled out three pancakes out from a plastic bag that was in his bag and gave them to the firy unicorn that is called Rage. In which Rage ate the pancakes with delight, the freshness of the baked goods still intact within."You know, if you have a problem with being by yourself, you're free to join my family. Mom and dad wouldn't mind another child." Hazy gust reminded Rage,

"Nah. I'm alright being alone. Thanks for the invitation though," Rage replied after finishing the last pancake.

They both got up and began to make their way to the shopping district."Well my father gave me a few bits to spend at the shoping district here. Only problem is, I don't know what to pick. This might help get your cutie mark," Hazy gust chuckled a bit, Rage looking at Hazy Gust with a grumpy look. Rage slugged Hazy to let him know that was not funny to him.

"Ow okay, I'll not do that anymore," Hazy Gust rubbing his right front hoof where Rage struck.

They made it to the first shop that sold clothing."Um... can't we just skip this one Gust?" Rage asked his freind.

"No... as much as you and me hate clothe shoping, I'd like to see if you got an eye for clothing," Hazy Gust replied with confidence. they entered the shop to see a filly with a kept purple mane and tail, a white as snow body, and purple eyes. Her cutie mark being three diamonds... Whatever that's suppost to represent...

"I'd make a comment right now, but I don't want to make more enamies than I already have," Rage wispered to his freind.Hazy Gust just chuckled.

"Welcome. Is there anything I can help you with?" The little filly ask the two,

"Nothing right now. I'll let you know if we do need anything," Hazy Gust replied to the filly. The two past by some dresses, suits, shirts, clothing trimmed with gems, cloth of many colers, ect. Rage found nothing that caught his eye.Hazy Gust didn't find anything either.

"Exuse me miss." Hazy Gust called to the filly.

"Rarity is my name," The filly called Rarity called back,

"Well than, Rarity, do you see anything that might catch our eye?" Hazy Gust asked,

"Well that's a good question. Let me see..." Rarity started thinking while looking at shelf after shelf of clothing and cloth. She found something and lifted it up with her magic, in which covered the item with a purple aura. When she placed it down, she calmly told the two foals,"This might be to your likeing dears."

"Dears? We were anything but dears" Rage said in his head.

The two looked down the box to see some king's clothing. one looking like it's on fire, the other one being relavent to the sea. The two looked for a little bit longer before one's neck started to feel unconfortable."Well? what do you two think?"Rarity asked the two. The two looked up and noded."Well than that would be 25 bits each," Rarity told them pulling out two bags. Hazy Gust pulls out 50 bits from his bag and placed them on the counter. She took the money, put it away, packed the clothing into the bags, and gave the bags to the two little customers.

"Thank you Rarity. Oh and by the way, my names Hazy Gust and this is my freind,Rage."Hazy Gust called out to Rarity as the left.

"Come back soon dears,"Rarity called out to the two as the door was closing.

When out, Rage finally spoke,"Why was she calling us dears?" Hazy Gust looked over to Rage and replied with,

"I don't know. Might be a thing for her." Rage rolled his eyes than chuckled a bit,"Shouldn't mary keep an eye on her little lamb?" Rage asked Hazy Gust. At first, he didn't get it, but after a second he got what he ment and chuckled.

"Realy dude?" Hazy Gust asked Rage after laughing,

"Eeyup." Rage replies with with a straight face. A few seconds they burst into laughter,

"Well where should we go next?" Rage asked,

"That was all the money I got. pass that at least we can be like kings with these on. Heh who knows, maybe you'll be a king Rage.Hint hint." Hazy Gust replied with.

"Oh please, like Celestia would find anything royal about me." Rage tells his freind. they continue their walk till they reach Hazy Gust's home.Hazy Gust takes his "Royal" clothing and aproches his door,

"Well I'll go put this in my room and grab some lunch. Don't worry, I'll bring you a sandwich." Rage just nods and walks bac to his tree where he'll relax till Hazy gust comes back out.

He was just laying down when his eyelids began to close and he began to sleep... and dream.

Chapter 1.5:The nightmare

Rage opens his eyes to see the tree he's resting under, and the bit of ground beneath him was in the air. He looked around and there was a few others things in the air like carts, houses, trees, signs, and items like treats. However the sky was pitch black. there was no stars, no moon, and no clouds. Rage was not realy creeped out by the setting he was in, just confused. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. a few seconds of confusion later, the ground beneath him crumbled. He grabed the tree as the ground disapeared, but the tree quickly died, so it lef him to fall to nothingness. Although he fell off the tree, he was floating somehow. Rage didn't want to question it, so he just went with it. He heard a voice and crying so he tried to pinpoint where it came from and fly to there.


When he did all of that, he say Rarity looking down at a giant dead spider thing.He listened to hear Rarity say under all that crying,which was makeing her makeup run,"Why mother? Why did you do this? Why did you make me do this?" Her "mother" was nowhere to be seen, but when he looked closer to the body, he saw resemblance to Rarity. His eyed widen at the sight of this and the blood covered knife close to the body.we was gonna try to calm Rarity down but was stopped by the sounds of bugs. Rage turned to the direction of the sound to see foal sized flea things with mosquito mouths hop towards him and Rarity but all bug like eyes where focused on Rarity and not him. She levitated the knife shakily saying,"No...no p-please get away from me..."stepping away moving the knife left and right. Rage was focusing his magic for a blast, but nothing came out. He felt to see his horn was sawed off somehow. He tried to buck them but he couldn't, they where to fast for him. They hoped away frum him and to Rarity. Rage heard her scream again and ran towards the flea things but he couldn't move. He was held back by some sorta force. Rarities's screaming was dying down and the flea things looked up and flew up with buzzing being heard. Rage can move now so he ran off to see Rarity... Her eyes where where shrivled up and her body was thin as bone. She was cold... He couldn't do anything for her now.

Rage looked down and cried a bit, shakeing. Than he looked up to see sugar cube corner... being attacked by ponies. but these ones wore hoods and had giant frount hooves like a...human he thought it was called with claws. every 4 seconds more and more came and devoured the place with their claws. Screams and laughter was heard, Rage thought it was the peaple inside that where screaming... but they where already slain by these...Things. the sugary shop became nothing but rubble, blood, limbs, cooking tools, and a few cupcakes with one rainbow one. Rage was shaking by this time as the beasts went off laughing and screaming like maniacs.

Rage looked down in disbilef thinking, no this is not real this is not-, he was cut off by the sounds of breathing and the looks of light. He knew he should not turn around, but did anyways. What he saw nearly made him fall over in fear... a pony sized angler fish thing. the monster was blue with no mane but... a dark blue and light blue tail. the cutie mark was gone like it was torn off and replaced with skin and fur. his head was larger to fit a head in it, decked with stained teeth, foggy white eyes,and the light thing coming from his head.(Rage did not know what those were called back than)his hooves were replaced with tentacles, and had a big fin on his back. Rage stepped away in fear.

Hazy Gust? It's me, Rage, your pal, Rage tried to say but words never came out of his mouth.The thing that is Hzy Gust just stood there in the air still flapping his wings. He opened his mouth and lunged towards Rage. Rage ducked and ran off in a hurry. after 10 minutes of fearful runing and dodges, he was far away frum what was left of his freind.
Rage tried to think of what just happend,but was cut off of the sound of a distant scream.He looked to see not another dying pony, but the Hazy Gust monstrosity flying at extream speed. Rage could tell he was mad. Rage started off on a quick dash but fell over. He thought he triped but actualy was grabed on to by a hand from the ground and was swooped up by his once freind. Just like that he woke up with a start. Panting looking at himself and around him. Not maimed, no darkness, none of those things, and no monstrous Hazy Gust. Phew that was all a dre-

"Hey Rage!" a voice called out.

Yipe!
