> A Drago of Dragons > by Connect-the-Pie > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The Ponies --Edited by BH > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm bored." I said, yawning. I got up from the chair I was at and heard this piece of music. "What?" It was the "Dragon's Life" main menu. What is it....I never opened that.....uhhhhh. I maneuvered my way over to the computer and sat down at the chair and clicked 'Play'. I selected 'Newborn', my preferred age. My dragon, mostly black with dark red highlights on the wings, horns, and spikes, also quadruped, was now standing on two legs! I was confused. "Wh-what? Is this something new?" What is the meaning of this? 'Next'. My element, 'Void' dark purple, perfect. "Ok ok. That's still good." ‘Next’ Name: Drago Description: Follows......... All seems good there, except for the bipedal dragon On the side of the screen! I saw the ‘Play’ button. Inwardly cringed at what would await me when I click it. -Press- —Loading— The world loaded in. Where I spawned in, was not the Adoption Area, it was a lush field. “They must have updated it. They must have!” Its all different! All of it! Even the quality of it is better! So much better! You can even see the detailing in the dirt! “Wow! I like this!”.........”who’s on?” ‘Esc’ “What I saw was weird names, Apple Lettering, Billie Jek, Shining Heart?! What the hell are these names?! I closed out of that and observed the land that I spawned in. “Wait a sec....” Why is nobody talking? ”Hello”? I typed. ...... No reply. There was a whole country’s worth of people on. Why is there no one talking at all?! Arrrgg! Dam it all! Whatever then. Must have accidentally stumbled onto a ‘No Talk Sever’ whatever that is. Might as wel,observe the rest of this beautiful land. Beginning to wonder, I heard something that sounded like a bird. “A bird? Did they also added animals into the game?” As if confirming this thought! I saw the birds flying over head. I wanted to see how good they look. Good,thing this body still has wings. I flew up there with the birds. I saw them, but they went into ‘flee’ formation. They looked pretty amazing! And their AI was perfect! “Wow” I said! “I love this update! Don’t really like the people here though.” But since I am up here, I gave the chance to observe the land, lush fields, a dark forest, and a little village. ........ Wait.....What?! “Hold on, a village? Cool! I love,this game even more now!” Next time I will try and go to,a sever with actual role play. But now, I,want to,check out that village. There's even a crystal castle there! I saw shapes moving in the place, are those the others? I shrug as I do not care much. A minute of flying later... Wow! This new world is so expansive. It took me a while minute to get here. I landed a strolled in. And those shapes, were ponies. “Wait a second, this is Ponyville! How did I get here?!” “Hi spike!” a voice said. Wait! What! That was an actual voice! How?! Turning to the voice, i saw Roseluck, a pony. “What brings you here?” Above her, was her name and a small description:sells small flowers and owns a small flower stand. Uhhhh uhhhh. Time to improvise! "Oh Twilight got me to uhhhh well, get some, roses for a new experiment!" “Oh well here you go Spike. On the,house!” "Thanks!" “Also, love what you did to your scales!” "Thanks again!" Ok that was scary, but I did it! I improvised! Phew. Hmm... it was strange that she did not question not actually speaking, but, whatever, that’s great for me! What should I do now? Other ponies were walking around. All saying ‘Hi!’ and ‘Like What you did to you scales!’ Blah blah. Ok. Let’s see. What should I do now anyway? “Well hello there Spike! like what ya did with ya scales!” Applejack. Oh no. "Hi Applejack!" “What brin’ ya here?” Let’s hope this will fool her. "Well, Twilight needed roses for an experimentation." ......... “Ohh well, that’s mighty ok Spike! I need to talk with Twi. So let's go." She then started walking toward the direction of.....the castle. Wow. That worked. I can’t believe that actually worked! “Come on Spike!” "Uhhh Coming!" it’s feels quite nice you know, to be able to fool the Element of Honesty. Feels good. ...Don’t know if that’s a good thing are not being so easily fooling her. After walking for a minute or so, we made it to the library. So clear, everything, so crisp and clean! I love it! *knock knock knock* *gulp* here we go..... “Hey Twilight!” “Just a minute AJ!!” Twilight yelled from beyond the door. Here we go... After the sound of walking, the door opened. “Yes AJ?” She noticed me, “........Sp-Spike?” *Gulp again* "uhhhh Yeah....?" “What was that?” Twilight asked as she looked like around at everything. “What was what Twi?” Twilight then stared directly at me. "Uhhhh....Yeah...?" She glared. “You are not Spike.” "Uhhh...What do you mean?" "You are not Spike." I was then tackled to the ground by Applejack. “Who, are, you!” She shouted. "ummm... ummmm..." “Not gonna talk ehh?” “Applejack, keep him there, I will send a message to the princesses, I’m sure they can, persuade him to talk.” Oh.....That’s dark. I like it! “Ummm Twilight?” That was Spike. “Not now Spike.” Twilight said, not even turning to look at him, “I am in the middle of something.” She then walked in with Spike and closed the door before Spike saw anything else. “Now ya little varmit! Mind tellin’ me who ya are?” "Uhhhhhh...." “Should hav known Twi! He’s still not talkin’!” “Oh do not fret AJ. The letter has been sent. Now all we need to do, is wait.” Nope! I closed out. “HAHAH! You thought! You can’t stop me!” *sigh* Well, that was indeed interesting. I actually hope I can somehow get back in. Well, I need to do something else for right now. I'll get back on tomorrow. > The Dragons > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I logged on. "Here's to hoping that I will still be able to get into that world." ................... ................... *Main Menu* "Ok ok." 'Play' ,'Newborn', yes, still biped, 'Next', 'Next' again. And 'Play' ---Loading--- The world loaded in. I spawned in a different place this time. Instead of a lush field,it was a volcanic land, full of volcanic rock, of course. I saw other dragons, some biped of others not. with the same weird names. Gragle, Hanres, Kylure? Ok Yes! Still here. "Hey hey guys look! A little baby dragon!" I turned over at the sound. It was a red dragon with orange spines and inner wings and a yellow belly, Garble. A dark purple dragon with lighter purple spines and wings, Crackle. And a light purple-pink dragon with yellow-ish spines, wings, and belly, Clump. They laugh. "Hey Garble! What should we do with the little one?" Crackle asked. "Hmmm... I don't remember you. What are you doing here?." Garble grumped, "this place is only meant for us betterdragons." "Then why are you here?" "Ooooh~~~" Crackle and Clump 'oohed'. Garbled was taken aback. "Ooh why you little..." I smirk. "Garble!" behind them was a much larger red dragon with the name Razor."Stop terrorizing the poor little dragon and help us set up!" "B-But!" Garble studdered. "Now!!" "Fine!" "And you!" Razor then glared at me, "Get back with the other little ones!" "Yes sir!" Heheh, I have no intention. I then ran off. "H-Hi!" I heard from beside me. Stopping in my tracks, I saw Spike. "Oh hi!" "Do you know where the others are?" *shrug* "I don't know, you might want to ask him." I point to Razor, who was arguing with the group of teens. "Ok thanks." he ran off to him while I kept walking in the same direction. After walking fora few minuets, I came across the Dragon Lord, Torch. Above his name was the Group/Pack thing, 'Dragon Lords'. I ignored him. But I did notice him looking at me though. Hmmmm.... I heard there was a competition, and I wanted to participate. When I got there, I saw Spike, the teens and some other random dragons. "Oh so its the little baby again." Garble said when I approached. "These games will be too much for a little baby dragon" "Then why am I here?" Spike asked. "Because I want you to little pony!" "Oh I will participate in these games, and there is nothing you can do to stop me!" Garbled growled. "FINE!! But we will make it even harder for you if you stay!" *shrug* "Do your worst." "Ok dragons and dragonesses," Torch declared from atop his mountain, "the games will involve 'four' challenges! The first, The Burping Contest! Eat as much as you can and make your loudest burp! Bonus points for those who burp fire at the same time!" He gestured towards a mountain of gems and jewels. "Eat as much, and burp!" I don't want to make them think I'm different, good thing I already changed my element to 'fire', dark red. "Ready," Dragons and dragonesses got into a runing/flying position, "set," wings flaping, "GO!" A mountain of dust and the sounds of claws hitting the ground and the sounds of flapping. I was the first to get there. Eat Eat. Everyone was eating. After a good while, the mountain of gems were gone. Spike was first, but instead of this huge sound, it was a small sound, a little fire, and also the letter from the princess. Garbled picked it up, "'Dear Twilight....' don't care." and threw it into the lava. He then burped, no fire. Then others started burping, some with fire, and others not. Then I burped, and a lot of fire came out. "Good job everyone!" Torch congratulated. "The next challenge is the Tail-Wrestling Competition!" He then gestured to a wrestling ring. "The object is to knock the other dragon off its feet. First off! YOU!" he pointed to Spike, "and YOU!" he pointed to me, "Spike and.....you.... what is your name little one?" "My name is Drago." "....and Drago! Get up there." We got in the ring. "Sorry Spike, but I intend not to lose." "Yeah yeah." "Ready....set....FIGHT!" Spike ran at me. He looks nervous. He swipped at me with his tail. It hit. didn't even feel it. I swipped with mine. Direct hit. He fell down. Dragons cheered. for me. I saw the disguised Twilight, Rainbow, and Rarity dragon staring at me. I can tell they are all glaring at me. "Ok. Now, Drago verses Garble!" Spike picked himself up and got out and Garble got in. "OK little dragon," he said, "I do admit, you are good, but you can not beat me!" "Heheheh" "What are you laughing about?!" "Well, you are about to lose confidence in yourself." "Ready. Set. GO!" Garble used his tail to stab me, dodged. He then swiped at me with it, miss. I stabbed, directly in the chest, he kneeled, I then swiped. He fell hard. Dragons cheered and laughed. Garble then slammed his fist into the ground of the wrestle ring. "Ok! Now onto Razor verse Clump!" We got off as Razor and Clump got on. "I must admit little one, even though I never saw you before until today, since you beat me, you are welcome into my little group." "Thanks." He held out his claw, we shook. "Congratulations little dude! Welcome!" All dragons were put up against each other. I purposely failed against the much larger dragons. "The third challenge is King of the Hoard!" We then went over to a giant hill of gems, which had a large dragon up top. "The goal is to hold the position of 'King' longer then your opponents. BUT! When you get knocked off, you are out!" Ooohh~ Extreme! "Ready, set, GO!" Nothing much. we all ran, the larger dragon got knocked off in no time, Garble held 'King' for a while. I kicked him off and held for longer. I purposely got knocked off after a while. I was the victor. Nothing much. "Last up!" Torch declared, "Make the biggest lava splash! My favorite!" We moved over to an exposed pool of lava. "not much to say, just make the biggest splash!" "Me first! Me first!" Garble declared. He went to the highest rock beside it and jumped off it performing a cannonball. His splash was pretty big, not to spectacular, but pretty big. After more dragons, it was Spike's turn. He was nervous, he finally jumped and landed in a belly flop. Everyone cringed. "Wow dude!" Garble said to him, "Can't believe you actually did that! You ok?" "Ye-yeah, I am." Spike replied. "Ok little dragon!" some dragon said to me, "Its your turn!" Everyone then stared at me. I jumped, and when I finally got to the lava, it didn't make a splash, I didn't even go through it, I was standing, on top of the lava. "......." Garble was swimming next to me and grabbed my leg to try and pull me down. He grunted from the pressure. "Hmmm....welp." Garble shrugged, giving up from trying. "Ok dragons! The competition is finished! Now go home!" "Dragons! Its time for an 'Egg Raid'!" Garble announced. "We need three teams, each for a different type of egg! Each are a group of five dragons. Group one will hunt Bufogren eggs. Group two will hunt Cockatrice eggs. And group three will hunt Phoenix eggs. I will be on group three a long with Spike, Drago, Runch, and Fergle. Everyone else, get into your teams!" We found the phoenix nest with two adults and six eggs. "Ok guys Spike, Drago, I want you two to distract the adults while us three recover the eggs." Garble ordered. "Yes sir" "Uhhh ok." "Good. Now go." We went up I roared while Spike threw rocks at the nest. It worked. They were mad. We ran. They chased us for a while but then they turned around. The eggs must have hatched. "Yowch, Ouch hey! Retreat!" Above the trees, I saw the phoenixes flying away. "Come on! Let's check the nest." I flew up to the nest and saw the unhatched phoenix egg. I left it there. "Arg! Stupid phoenixes!" The other dragons grumbled. "Hey! Did you get anything out of this?" "Nope sorry." I flew back down. "Dam it! Of course." Garble sighed. "Come on. Let's go back and tell them we didn't get anything." "ALRIGHT THAT"S IT!!" The dragon-pony disguise said. "Wha? Crackle's cousin? What are you doing here?" Garble questioned. They removed the disguise and the ponies surrounded me and the teens. "Wha- ponies?! Get them" They attacked the ponies. I slipped away to Spike. "I was wondering when it was going to happen." "Wait, you knew?" "Yep." "How?" "Don't question it dude. Also here." I flew back up to the nest, and picked up the egg and gave it to him. "Don't let the other three dragons see it." "Uhh ok." The dragons and Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow were still fighting. *BOOM* An explosion. "Come on guys. Let's get out of here!" Garble said, and they ran. "Good job Twi!" "Thanks Rainbow." "Hey guys!" "Oh my little Spikey-Wikey!" "O-oh hi Rarity." "And who is this little dragon you got?" she directed at me. "YOU....." "Oh yeah. Hi again Twi." "Wha- how do you know my name?" Twilight stumbled. "Twi? Do you know him?" Rainbow asked. "Yeah. He tried impersonating Spike!" "Wait what?" Spike question. "He did?' "Well, I didn't actually try....." "Who are you?! Tell me!" Twilight yelled in my face. "Sorry Twi. Don't want to. Bye" "What? NO! Don't you dare......" I logged off. Heheh I like this. I might come back to the dragon land for fun later. But I'm done for now. I'll get back on tomorrow. > A Hurricane > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Play', 'New.b', 'Next', Void, 'Next', 'Play'. I spawned in a field, not the same one from the first time, this one was right next to the Everfree forest. In the distance, was Fluttershy's cabin. Flying over, I heard Fluttershy inside. "Oh Angel, I want to, I really want to, but I can't! I just can't!" *KNOCK KNOCK* "*GASP* Who-who's there?" "Come on Fluttershy. Open up." "Oh uh.... ok. The door opened. "Umm... yes?." She looked and saw me. "AHHHHH! Dragon!." The door slammed close. *Sigh* "Come on Fluttershy...." "H-how do you know my name?" "Oh don't worry about that. Now.... can I come in?" "................sure." The door opened. Fluttershy was no where to be seen. "Come...come in...." I walked in and the door closed behind me. Inside, there were animals, all being.... animals. Heh. "S-s-so..... what is it?" She moved from behind the door to the sofa. "Why are you here, instead of with the others?" "Wh-what?" "Don't worry, I've been here for a while and know about the hurricane, Cloudsdale ,and Rainbow Dash. So... why are you here instead of with the other pegasi?" "I-I-I.....just can't." "Fluttershy, every pegasi has their job to do during this time. You were bullied at Flight School, because of your inability to fly like the others. Rainbow stood up for you. You can at least try and help them." "I-.....I know. She did stand up for me. I.... You're right." I nod. "I don't know you dragon, but, Rainbow is my friend and I will assist her." She then ran out the door, leaving me inside with all the animals. I heard a thumping sound from beside me. Looking over, I saw Angel Bunny. Above his name, was words, "You know, I don't really know you, but....I should thank you. If this works, Fluttershy will be more interested in flying and won't be scared to." "I know Angel. But the question is, will it work?" He sighed. "We will see." "Hi-hi Rainbow." Rainbow heard, "Fluttershy?!" Rainbow looked behind her and saw her friend. "Oh.... I didn't expect you to be here of your own volition." "I wouldn't either if a dragon didn't explain it to me." Both Rainbow and Twilight, who was near enough to hear, froze. "A dragon you say?" Twilight suggested. "W-why yes. He was very nice. Although a little.... scary. Why?" "Was ,he, mostly black with red highlights?" Twilight questioned. "Y-y-y-yes" Twilight furrowed her eyes. "Fluttershy..." Twilight said as she put a hoof on Fluttershy's shoulder, "as much as I want to thank him for helping you get here, I would want you to stay away from.... him." "Why?" Flutter was alarmed at this declaration. "A few days ago, he was caught trying to impersonate Spike. When he was pinned, he disappeared out of nowhere, and yesterday, we found him again in the dragon lands, we almost got him again, but he disappeared again." "Oh-oh my! He was just at my house!" "Rainbow, go get him." Twilight ordered Rainbow. "Yes ma'am!" And bursted off to Flutter's house. "He was not there." Rainbow announced to Twilight. "Darnit! Of course." "Well Twi, as much as I would love to help, the pegasi of Ponyville need my instructions!" "Yes yes. Go do that." "Hi Fluttershy! What are you doing here?" She looked up, and I saw that she was crying. "What happened?" "Oh....hi. Nothing just.... *crys* You should have seen the way the others were just laughing at me." She then buried her face back in the leaves on the ground. "She said she got a.... 0.5 on her flight test thing there or whatever". Angel said. Sigh "Of course, Animals, follow me, we need to talk about this." They all looked to me, then to Fluttershy, who nodded, we then went over to a place she wouldn't hear. "Ok dragon, what is it?" The badger asked with arms crossed. "Well, I know that we all can't stand to see Fluttershy so distraught." They all nodded. "We need to help her. " "Well, what do you suggest we do?" The two birds asked. "I have a plan. Help her get over her fears. Train her. Help her get better." "That's easier said than done, but it can be done. Come on! Training montage!" Angel yelled, who hopped back over to Fluttershy with the other animals. One Training Montage Later Fluttershy was ready. After hours of training, she was ready. "Thank you all. You too dragon. What shall I call you?" "Call me Ogard." "Ogard.... thank you for helping. I want you to come see me at the track, but Twilight is keeping an eye out for you." "Don't worry Fluttershy, I'll be in the thickets." "I'll see you there then." She then flew here way back to the track. "Come on." I said to the animals, "Let's go." We then raced to the track. When we all got there, the animals went ahead with Fluttershy while I stayed back in the trees. "Fluttershy!" Rainbow yelled. "Sorry sorry. I'm sorry Flutters." "Don't w-worry Rainbow, I-want to try again." "Clear the field! And do NOT laugh at her." The pegasi cleared the field for her. Fluttershy got set up at the start. Spike blew the whistle and Flutter shy flew off. The past the anemometer with a surprisingly low burst of speed. "2.3? 2.3?! That has to be some kind of mistake! I worked so hard!" Fluttershy yelled. The animals all started chittering. "Fluttershy, that's a huge improvement!" Twilight said, doing her best to comfort her. "You did awesome, Fluttershy." Rainbow tried herself at encouragement. "No, I didn't. I thought I'd gotten over my nerves, but they still got the best of me! There's no way I'll fly with 10.0 wing power tomorrow!" Fluttershy yelled, distraught. "So you won't fly with 10.0 wing power. Every bit counts!" "How would you feel if everypony else was flying with 10.0 wing power and you were flying with 2.5? I trained with my animals and Ogard! They all helped me train! And I...let them down." "Ogard?" Rainbow asked, "Who is that?" "The dragon!" "So that's his name...." Twilight interjected. "Yes it is! Now tell me Rainbow, how would you feel?" "Oh... well.. I would feel..." She stuttered. "Exactly! Humiliated!" Fluttershy started crying again. "I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash, I just can't do it!" Fluttershy then turned and flew off. "It's okay, Rainbow Dash, you've still got plenty of wing power for your tornado. You'll be able to lift tons of water up to Cloudsdale!" Spike said, trying to cheer her up. Rainbow sighed, "If only there was a way to lift Fluttershy out of the dumps." I then took off in the direction that Fluttershy went in with the help of the other animals. But, we were not able to locate her for the duration of the day. The next day, I found Fluttershy by the hurricane being produced by the other pegasi. "Seven hundred! Seven hundred and fifty wing power!" Twilight yelled over the sound of the pegasus made hurricane. "They fell apart right after this!" Spike also yelled. "Seven ninety five! We are so close! Fluttershy, they need you up there!" Twilight yelled over to Fluttershy. "I won't make a difference!" "You can make a difference!" Twilight yelled confidence to Fluttershy. "My measly 2.3 wing power is still too little!" "It's sticking at seven ninety five! I don't know if they've got any more in 'em!" Twilight grabbed Fluttershy, "Do it for Equestria! Do it for Rainbow Dash! Do it for yourself!" Fluttershy looked over at the hurricane. "Come on Flutters." Fluttershy sighed. She put on her goggles and letted the hurricane pull her in. "It's moving! She's doing it! Seven ninety eight! She surpassed her best wing power number!" Afterwards, the hurricane started compressing, and suddenly, the water shot out the top and spured into Cloudsdale. Twilight started hopping with Spike. "She did it! She did it! They all did it!" Spike blew the horn and the hurricane disembarked. Fluttershy was still flying in circles. "Whoa, girl, take it easy!" Rainbow steadied Fluttershy. "Whuh, what? Did we do it?" She asked. "Yeah, we did it! You did it!" Rainbow said, proud. "Great job, Fluttershy, that was awesome!" "Yeah, we couldn't have done it without you." "Nice job, Rainbow Dash," Spitfire said, moving over to Rainbow. "You may not have set a new record, but you showed a lot of guts." "Thanks, but if you wanna talk guts, then you've gotta give it to my number one flyer, Fluttershy! Let's hear it for Fluttershy!" The other pegasi grabbed Fluttershy up and chanted, "Fluttershy! Fluttershy! Fluttershy can really fly!" Good job Fluttershy. I logged out. > A little bit of School life... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It has been a few days since I have logged in to my Roblox account, when I did, I saw that there was an update to 'Dragon's Life', and instead of it being called 'Dragon's Life', it was now called 'MLP Life'....... what? Well ok then. I clicked 'Play' and saw that not only there were dragons, but also ponies, griffins, hipogriffs, diamond dogs, etc. I clicked 'Pony', and saw the different types of ponies, Earth, Unicorn, Pegasus, Alicorn,...Umbrum? What the? I'll look on that later. Ok, which one to pick..... I closed my eyes and picked one. I opened my eyes to see, Regular. Bat Ponies. Must have clicked Pegasus. Huh..... which one to choose. I like the sound of Bat Ponies, but that will stand out among the others, and I think that most of the Bat Ponies are with Princess Luna. Huh.... fine. Regular. 'Age'. 'Baby', 'Foal', 'Teen', 'Adult'. 'Foal'. Hmmm.... my colors. I like the colors of my dragon, so..... I kept the same colors for my pony. 'Next'. 'Name', uhhhh.... let's go with, Black Harbringer. Sounds nice. 'Description', uhhhh, '???' good enough. 'Cutie mark?' Hmmmm.... nah. 'Male'. 'Play'. The world loaded in. I spawned in a building. It was bright and colorful, with streamers hung up on the ceiling and walls. Is this the school house? "Oh, hello there little one." I heard behind me. Behind me, was the magenta colored body of Miss Cheerilee. "I'm sorry but, school has not begun yet." "Oh. I'm sorry, I'm new and I didn't know." "Oh! You're new!" Cheerilee echoed. "Well welcome to Ponyville! I hope you'll enjoy your stay here! What is your name?" "The name's Black Harbringer." "Hi Black Harbringer! You'll be integrated into school when it starts. Stay inside, we will introduce you when school actually starts." "Ok." "Ok Students. As you can see, we have a new student! Please, introduce yourself" "Hello... my name is Black Harbringer.". "Hello!" most of the students replied. Diamond and Silver in the back looked like they were talking to each other, not paying attention. "Could you tell us about yourself?" Oh yeah.... my description. Uhhhh let's see... "Well... not much I could say. So....not much." "So nothing?" "Yep." "Fine. Ok Black, to an empty seat. We are beginning class. There was an empty seat next to Silver Spoon, who looked away when I got close and went back to talking with Diamond. "Ok class, we will be learning about......" [Later. Before Lunch.] *BRRRRINGRINGRING* "Ok class," Cheerilee stated, "Its time for lunch! Line up single-file." We all lined up in that file, Diamond and Silver at the front, obviously, the CMC five ponies behind Silver, and me right behind Silver, who looked back at me for a few seconds, before turning back to Diamond. We all walked to the cafeteria before grabbing our food. I had no need for the food as i didn't actual eat any. Anyway, by the time I sat down, the CMC were already clambering over me asking if I wanted to join the 'Cutie Mark Crusaders'. "Any reason why?" "Uhhh well, we three are on a 'crusade' to get our cutie marks! And you don't have one." Apple Bloom stated. "And we wanted to know if you would like to join us on these crusades?" Sweetie asked. "Yeah! So would you?" Scootaloo requested. Should I? Could be fun. "Ok sure. What could go wrong?" Shouldn't have said that. "Yes!" Apple Bloom cheered. "Ok so," Sweetie Belle began, "yesterday, Apple Bloom suggested we try getting our cutie marks with the The Foal Free Press." "Trying to get our cutie marks as journalists!" Scootaloo finished with a sigh. "Awe come on Scoots, it could be fun!" Apple Bloom said. "Yeah yeah." "Now come...." *BRRRRINGRINGRING* "Ok students!" Cheerilee called, "Time to continue our day!" Every student filed into the building to continue their day. [Before Break] [Another]*BRRRRINGRINGRING* "Ok. Now go out. Play! And don't do anything bad to the school please." Cheerilee mentioned. We all headed out with no order to it. The CMC at the front, Diamond Tiara also there, looking around, possibly for Silver, who is behind me. We all went out, but not without the bumping of ponies trying to get out. "Silver," Diamond said to Silver, "we need to make fun of the blank flanks." She then turned to my direction, "Should we start with this one?" "Oh uhh Diamond..." Silver stuttered at the mention. "Not advisable Diamond." "Not advise...... what are you talking about? Blank Blank? "Blank flank? The way you said it makes me think it was supposed to be an insult. But, I fail to see how. Diamond blinked. "Wha- what?" "I mean, its not as if I really care." "You.... don't actually mind being a blank flank?" "Nah. It's just.... " time for role-playing master "I had a bad past with ponies being too excited and being too quick with getting a cutie mark." "Really?" Silver asked concerned, "What happened?" "Here's what I'll say...'Ponies love to get cutie marks, they cherish them, they require them, fillies and colts are happy when they get them, but, things go wrong, ponies get hurt, they ask why this happen, and then...... ponies die....' *sigh* do you get it?" I hear gasps behind me, the sources of the gasp were the CMC, "What is this place?" Apple Bloom wondered. "Nice of you to join us. Well, my town was full of new ponies, not only ponies, but griffins and diamond dogs too, all living together with benefits of living with each other, but they get frustrated with the little ponies showing off their talents, and decide, to do something about it. They decided to get rid of all of these trouble makers, and to get rid of probable future trouble makers as well, most of the fillies and colts died there, it was called the 'Our Town Little Killing.'" "I heard of that...." I heard from a colt from behind me, It was Pipsqueak. Hmmm it has appeared I have grown a crowd. How wonderful. ”Not only did a lot of fillies and colts die, but also some of the older ponies trying to protect the little ones. The griffins and diamond dogs no longer live there.” “Wait a sec,” I heard from Cheerilee, “Is that why you just appeared in the classroom all by yourself?” ”Yes, yes it was.” I started ‘crying’ ”They died along with most of the others.They, tried.” > ....And A Little Bit Of Gossip > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Okay, class, see you tomorrow! Oh, for those of you who want to join the newspaper staff, stay here, because we're meeting right now!” Cheerilee said as the bell rung for the last time. “Cutie marks in journalism!” Apple Bloom said to that. “Such a good idea.” Scootaloo said waiting. Cheerilee waited until ponies stopped leaving to begin. “Ok welcome, everypony. Now, as you know, our editor-in-chief graduated last year–“ Sweetie Belle raised a hoof, “Oh, oh, oh, ohohohoh!” “Yes?” “What's an editor-in-chief?” she asked. “Good question, Sweetie Belle.” Cheerilee said, walking over to the door. “I like those reporter's instincts. The Foal Free Press is a student-run paper. I'm only involved as an adviser, so the editor-in-chief is the pony in charge, from choosing the stories to making sure it gets to press on time. Now, as I said, we have a new editor this year!” She opened the door. And in comes Diamond Tiara. “HER?!” the students questioned. “I'll leave you alone now to discuss everypony's assignments. Have fun!” Cheerilee walked out and closed the door. “Alright, listen up. The Foal Free Press is a joke.” Diamond stated. “What?” “Nopony at this school takes it seriously. Well I, the editor-in-chief in charge, am going to deliver us to newfound glory!” She paused. “Yay!” Truffle said hesitantly. “First things first. Where's the staff photographer?” A pony raised their hoof “Get out there and document everything. I'll decide what's important.” The pony ran out. “The rest of you, I want hard-hitting news and interesting think pieces. No more Namby-Pamby stories like last year's editor.” “But Namby-Pamby was a great editor.” Ruby Pinch started. “Well, there's a new regime now, and I want juicy stories. The juicier, the better! Now get out there and report!” “Let's get out of here, girls. Maybe we can try packing boxes again.” Scootaloo whispered. “But this could be our last chance to earn our cutie marks!” Sweetie whispered back “If we really are supposed to be journalists, isn't it worth a little grief?” Scootaloo sighed, “I guess you're right. We can take a little bit of Diamond Tiara for a lifetime of cutie marks” “C'mon! Let's go get these marks!” Everypony quickly went out to find a story. “C’mon Harbringer,” Apple Bloom grabbed me, “Let’s go!” While the others were embarrassing themselves trying to find ‘Stories’, I took the time to look around. “Harbringer!” I heard from a little apple filly. “C’mon! We need to give these stories to Diamond!” “I hope you've got something, because everything so far is unusable. "Baby Birds Born"? "Rarity's Hot New Hat"? "Ponyville: The Early Years"!? You didn’t even get one! Oh! I don't know what you call this, but it sure isn't news!” Diamond yelled out. “We just... thought...” Sweetie stuttered. “I don’t care about what you thought! Get something else on my desk by the end of the day, and it better be juicy! Now!” Apple, Sweetie, and Scootaloo quickly ran away through the door, leaving me there. “So Harbringer....” Diamond began, “why do you hang out with them?” ”Hmmmm.... why do I? Well.... for starts, they basically cornered me in the cafeteria, and made me join their little club. And I, kept going with them.” She sighed, “Well, fine. Now get out there and get me some juicy stories.” ”Yes ma’am” I ran out. “Oh! Get it off me, Snails!” ”What was that?” “I don’t know Harbringer,” Apple Bloom said, “let’s go see.” We turned around the corner of the building and saw Snips and Snails trapped together by bubblegum. “Eh, you get it off me, Snips?” Snails “Aah! Stop it! You are making it worse! Nah! Oh, great.” Snips “I'll get it.” Snails grunted. “Aah!” Snails “Get it off! Get it off!” Snips “Hey, Featherweight, c'mere!” Sweetie Belle said I between giggles, “Take a few pictures of this, then meet me during lunch. Girls, and Harbringer, I have our story.” “Your column is a sensation! I don't want you doing news anymore.” A stroke of pleasure “I want more columns like this. Columns about ponies and their private lives, the things they do when they think they're alone. You three are my new gossip columnists! And I love the way you signed it! ‘Gabby Gums’...” She sighed, “That was a stroke of genius!” ”I just said ok to it.” “We couldn't fit all of our names, so we decided to create one for all four of us.” “Yes well, I want more Gabby Gums! Nice work.” “We sure seem to have a gift for gossip.” Scootaloo stated. ”Yep.” “If we can write a few more of these Gabby Gums columns, we'll earn our cutie marks for sure!” “YAY!” we all screamed. We all separated. To find something, anything “Juicy”. Apple Bloom went to the cafeteria, Sweetie went towards the playground, Scootaloo went after the teachers, and I went after the other students. I don’t really know how to do this, I never really began the confrontation, I just stay in the sidelines and observe and whenever I find a good one, I jump on the opportunity. So this is out of my comfort. *sigh* whatever. Speaking of that, I wonder if I still can do that. Have to try sometime. Anyway, now, I need to observe. A ways away, I see the bickering of two ponies. From what I see, and hear, they were arguing about the fundamentals of the foundation of the school. As for beside them, was a blueprint of the school and some nails and hammers. “Want me to take the pictures?” Featherweight asked from beside me. ”Yes, and be sure to take some pictures of the blueprints as well.” “Got it.” ”Report back tomorrow so the others can get theirs in.” “Yes sir.” He began his photography thing. When he left , I flew away. Ok Harbringer, what else shall I do? It is almost midnight irl. Wait really? Hmmm... time sure does fly when you are in school again. Welp, might as well tune out now. I will be back before school here starts. > I discover something—small edit > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just discovered something when I logged into Black Harbringer, the respawning location has no rhyme or reason of where it puts you. This time, I was placed back in that luscious field from the first time. there was a pony infront of me, a pony with a coat of purple, and a main of even more purple. It was Twilight Sparkle. Crap. "Oh uhhh... hello there." "Sorry can't talk! Got to go!" I flew away. "Wha- Hey wait!" I didn't. And in no time, I lost her. I arrived in town and I almost ran into fencing, said fencing was surrounding a fairly big building for a small town. Must be one of the high classes. Never actually seen one before, according to the size, this one is either Diamond Tiara or Silver Spoon. I walked around it to the front. On the front, was a cutie mark of an open cash register with bits spilling out. This is Silver Spoon's. "Harbringer?" *gulp* I turned around. And behind me, was Silver Spoon herself. "What are you doing here?" she asked, "And where did you even come from?" "Oh well I ran into Twilight who was doing something I don't know, and apparently she decided to try and include me into it. I didn't want to know what it was, but after I ran, I heard a little 'Boom' from where it was." "Oh don't worry about her, she does that. But she usually has Spike with her." "Oh is he the little purple dragon she has?" "Yeah. He did change his scales a few days ago. But he changed them back." "Oh well that's cool." "Yeah..." We both stare at each other. Silence. "Do you want.... to come in?" She blushes. "Oh sorry, Diamond got me and the crusaders hunting 'juicy' stories, and in.... something minutes, I will unite with Featherweight and publish the story I got to Diamond." "Oh." Disappointment on her face, "well I'll see you at school then." "Yeah, later" We both went our ways. She went towards her home, and I went towards the rest of the town. As I approached the town, I saw the cmc galloping around Twilight's library. With them, was of course, Featherweight with his camera. *Sigh* Might as well. Walking over, I heard, "C'mon Scoots, we need to get this story published." "This is going to be our best one yet!" Going.... going... and~~ gone. There they go, off! Into the distance they go! "Heh... Must be nice being so enthusiast about something. Heheh... Whatever..." "What was that?!" A voice who is Twilight yelled behind me. I was astonished by it. Glancing, Twilight was fuming. *Gulp* "Oh uhhh.... hello again. You require some..." "Save it!" she snapped. I jumped a little. "Now, who are you!?" I shrink, as per. Black Harbringer." She glared. "Come with me. Now." I followed her all the way to the lirbrary. She ushered me in and closed the door behind us. "So, Black Harbringer...." "Uhhh... call me Harbringer." "...Harbringer, you have an affinity with dark magic." I blink. Dark Magic? "What are you talking about?" "You can't hide it from me. I can see the smoke pouring out from your eyes. Its hard to see if you don't focus, but its most defiantly there." She picked up a mirror and showed me. And of course, there it is. Purple and black smoke, burrowing from my eyes. and it is hard to see if you don't concentrate. Oh great.... so this is how it manifest huh? "Oh... I have no words for that." She slammed the mirror into the table, it didn't brake, but it made a very loud sound. "OF COURSE YOU DO! YOU SHOULD! THE EVIDENCE IS RIGHT THERE IN YOUR EYES! NOW TELL!" "Twi-light. Calm down" Spike said from the stairwell, rubbing his eyes. "Sorry Spike." Twilight said as she frowned. Spike walked back up. When he was out of sight, Twilight turned her attention back to me. "Now tell me, why are you using dark magic?! You are not even a unicorn. Yet you are touching dark magic." "What exactly is dark magic?" "Dark... magic, also sometimes called 'black magic' or 'shadow magic', is the magic that responds to the anger of a pony," she stated, going into 'lecture mode', "it causes a black and purple smoke like substance to arise from the eyes, and when magic is used, causes the magic to turn the same color. The more it is used, the more it corrupts. A famous example is Kind Sombra." "Ohhhh~~ that must have been what my parents were doing when they were alive." "............." She stopped her anger. ".....Wh-what?" "Yeah... when they were alive, they must have been using these magic. They're eyes were always had that smoke. No-creature asked about it." "No-creature?" "Yeah, not only did ponies live there, but also some diamond dogs and some dragons. anyway, when they had me, they noticed I had the same smoke coming off my eyes. My dad, who was a pegasus, cherished me. Like I was his actual son. My mom, who was an unicorn, didn't want anything to do with me. Her smoke was a lot stronger looking then my dads. She always acted mad all the time. That must be why." I started crying, "She would usually dump me at the nearby orphanage, but dad was always right behind her and grabbed me when she left. He was always there to counteract mom" "What are their names?" "Mom was Black Wind. And dad was Midnight Scroll. Why?" "SPIKE!" Twilight bellowed. And from around the stairwell, came the dragon, almost falling flat on his face. Heh. "What is it Twi?! Is something attacking?!" He did a little bit of kung-fu. "Calm down 'little warier'. Take a message. Dear Princess Celestia...." Oh no. No no no. I have to try. I looked at chat. '/Spike' To Spike: *Don't* He froze. "Spike..." Twilight stopped her letter, "Spike?" It works. "Spike? What's wrong?" She shook him. "Spike? Spike! Wake up! No nono! HOLD ON SPIKE! I WILL HELP YOU!" She galloped off with him in her magic, presumably off to the hospitable. As I watched her run off, I saw a little tiny pony with a camera hovering infront of the window. Featherweight..... "Featherwieght! Come here!” He ran off. I gave chase. > A little book > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After making Featherweight to not post that and dragging him to the hospital, he should be fine tomorrow. I made my way to the school. Hmmm.... I never knew that my eyes produced a very faint 'dark magic' smoke. I got to be careful with it. Anyway, the school grounds were a live with the fillies and colts of the town, minus Feather, of course. I noticed the crusaders over by the swings. Moving over, I heard, "Scoots, what did ya do to Featherweight?" "I didn't do anything with him, What did you do Sweetie Belle?" "What? No, nothing. You Apple Bloom?" "Nope, nothin'." "Arg! Where did he go?" "Looking for Featherweight?" "Yeah." Apple Bloom looked over, "ya know where he is?" "Oh he's just in the hospital, was in bad 'shape'" "Oh I hope he will be ok." Sweetie gasp. I then grabbed his camera out from nowhere, "I did git his camera." "Perfect!" Apple Bloom cheered. "You are now our new photographer!" "Oh yay...!" Right now, I am currently in the spa. Along with the Main 6 and Spike. "The new Gabby Gums just came out!" Rainbow busted in through another door. "'The Great and Powerful Trixie's Secrets Revealed!'" "Sorry Rainbow darling, we already read that one. Come on, relax, have a hooficure, it feels amazing." Rarity pulled up a chair next to her. "Did you forget who you're talking to? The day I get a hooficure is the day I turn in my daredevil license." Rainbow stated. "Besides, I haven't read this Gabby Gums yet." "Well, do it quietly, will ya?" Spike sighed, "Some of us are trying to unwind here!" "I like Gabby Gums too, but don't you think she can be a little mean?" Twilight pointed out. "Whatever do you mean Twilight?" " 'Celestia Just Like Us'? Gabby Gums doesn't value anypony's privacy." Twilight slammed the newspaper into the spa floor. "Oh, lighten up Twilight, it's nothing but harmless gossip!" "Yeah, Twilight, I mean listen to this one." Pinkie said as she splashed into the spa pool," 'Mayor Not Naturally Gray!' The Mayor in a mane dyeing scandal? Who wouldn't wanna read that?" "I just can't help feeling sorry for the ponies featured in her columns. It's gotta be a little embarrassing." "Are you kidding? Do you know how awesome it is to get your name in the paper?" "Rainbow, why don't you join me in one of these delicious hooficures?" Rarity patted the chair next to her. "It's that good, huh? Well, maybe just one little hoof." Rainbow gave in. She went over to the empty chair and rested. I take the picture. *Click* Perfect. Rainbow yelps. "Forget it," she launched up into the air. "I don't like ponies touching my hooves." She then settled back far away from the hoof touching ponies. "Man... I'd love it if Gabby Gums did a story on me." "She did one on me." Spike stated matter-of-factly. He was then promptly surrounded be the others. "What?!" I take another picture. *Click* Heheh. I then took my leave. "Hey Sweetie Belle? Do you know where Rarity keeps her diary?" She gave me a mischievous grin. "She usually keeps it on her bedside drawer along with her makeup. Here's a key for the front door." "Thank you." I stride over to Rarity's Boutique. Using the key to unlock the door, I walked my way up the stairs to Rarity's room. Inside was what you would expect, a bed with drapes, a mirror with every single makeup supply you can think of, and the mentioned bedside drawer. opening it up, there were extra makeup, under it, was the diary. "This will be perfect." "Hello?" I heard from downstairs. "Oh ****" I forgot to shut the door back. Closing the drawer i open the window and dived right out of it. At the bottom of the window, was freaking Twilight Sparkle. "Explain yourself Harbringer." I shrink. "Uhhhhh" "Now!" "Gabby Gums!" I cower. "You work for her?" She asked. "Well.... sorta, I am just the photographer as of now as the normal photographer is in the hospital." She glared. **DING** I heard a ding sound. I saw something appear on the bottom right side of my computer screen. Achievement unlocked. You gave Twilight a reason to dislike you. Oh how wonderful. "What else as you been doing that involves exposing us? What do you have right now? Who is this Gabby Gums?!" "Uhhhhhh..." I clear my throat, "Sorry Twilight, but that information is a 'school secret'." "And what's that supposed to mean?!" "It means I can't tell you." "A..." she opened her mouth as if to speak, but promptly closed it. "Fine sure, shouldn't have worded it like that." "No you shouldn't have. Now.... if you excuse me, I need to report back." I immediately flew off. "HEY! Come back here!" I think she tried to use her magic to stop me.... I think, I say that because I saw this purple coloring surround me, it brushed right off. She was now out of my sight. Later with Twilight and the others "'Applejack Asleep on the Job!' Can y'all believe this?!" Applejack yelled in defiance over the newspaper headline. "And this one: 'Big McIntosh – What's He Hiding?' Who the hay does this Gabby Gums think she is?!" "Yeah, and listen to this one, 'Twilight Sparkle: I Was a Canterlot Snob. A well-placed scaly source close to the prissy pony says Twilight Sparkle thinks Ponyville is nothing but muddy roads and low-class rubes.' Scaly? Spike!" Twilight ordered the scaly source. "How could you say such a thing?" "I-I-I well, I didn't! Gabby Gums made that up! I never said anything like that! They made it all up!" "Darlings please! She's just a harmless schoolpony engaged in a little harmless gossip." Rarity laid back in her chair. "You're really making too big a deal out of this." "But it's all lies! Gabby Gums prints whatever she wants! She doesn't care whose reputation she destroys! This one, 'Fluttershy Has Tail Extensions!'" Said pony shrunk under the counter. "Or this! 'Pinkie Pie is an Out-of-Control Party Animal!' which is not that surprising actually. Oh, look! According to this one, the Cakes are breaking up!" And fermentation ponies crashed through a door with their foals in hoof, "We are?!" There was another crash, from the front door. In came Rainbow Dash, carrying a literal stack of newspapers. "Well, my life is officially over." She placed the stack on the floor and grabbed one, "Gabby Gums has made it to Cloudsdale." "'Rainbow Dash: Speed Demon or Super Softie?'?!" Twilight read. " I grabbed as many copies as I could, but it was too late!" she started crying. "I'm a laughing stock!" "See, Rarity? Your so-called 'harmless gossip' can be very hurtful!" "Honestly, you ponies have no sense of humor. So she tweaks a few ponies every now and then, maybe they deser–" She never finished that statement as when she flipped the page, "I'll destroy her! 'The Drama-Queen Diaries' She's reprinted my diary! How could Gabby Gums possibly get access to my private diary?!" "I know how..." Twilight mentioned. "Who?!" Rarity asked with vengeance. "Well, remember that break in from earlier?" "Well yeah darling, its kinda hard to forget." "Well, I caught the pony who did it, and they were a temporary photographer for Gabby Gums..." "And you didn't bother to mention that to us?" Rainbow asked her. "Well... I guess I should have. Anyway, I believe he stole your diary." "I'll destroy him!" Rarity swore vengeance. "How did he know where to look? The only ponies who know about it are me and... *gasp* Sweetie Belle. "We've got to put a stop to this once and for all! Sweetie Belle's on the newspaper staff. Maybe she knows who Gabby Gums is." "My sister would never associate with anyone as beastly as Gabby Gums! I resent you even suggesting such a thing, Twilight! Why, she's the most innocent, most lovely–" that all changed when she looked in Sweetie's saddle bag, "–most evil pony in Equestria! How could my own sister steal my private diary? How could my own sister be... Gabby Gums?" Back with Harbringer When I made it back to the press, I noticed a bandaged up Featherweight by the door. I hoofed him back his camera and he nodded. "Harbringer," Diamond said at her desk up front. "Yeah?" "What ever did you do with Rarity's diary?" "Well, as I was caught last time, I gave it to Sweetie Belle." "Et tu, Gabby Gums?!" "You know?!" Sweetie Belle gasped, "How'd you find out?!" Rarity threw Sweetie's bag with the diary in it, "The gilded pages of your betrayal!" "Oh, yeah. B-but it wasn't my idea!" "Then whose was it?! This is my private diary!" "Harbringer." Sweetie gave away. "So he broke into my boutique, stole my diary," Rarity said, "and reprinted it!" "I gave him the key!" "Sweetie Belle!" Rarity yelled. "You're not supposed to give other ponies the key to our home!" "But why?" Sweetie question. "Oh uhh..." Rarity staled, "well, some ponies might come in, and Steal valuables and resell them for bits." "But, don't you have that spell from Twilight that notifies you when..... unauthorized ponies come in?" Sweetie realized that she sent Harbringer to his doom. "Yes I do." Rarity stated, "and that's how Twilight found the pony called Harbringer when he jumped out the window." "Oh." "How could you do this to me?! You stole my secret diary and published it for all the world to read! Gossip can be a very hurtful thing. It is an invasion of privacy, just like when I snooped through your saddlebag. You didn't like that much, did you?" "Well, no..." "What is important is that you understand how your column makes the ponies that you're writing about feel!" "I do understand, and we've all been feeling guilty. I don't know about Harbringer," Sweetie stopped, "but we just want our cutie marks so badly!" "Do you really think that writing nasty things and making everypony feel horrible is your destiny?" Rarity sighed. "Well, when you put it that way..." "I don't think so!" Sweetie hung her head. "Now, go back to the Press and quit! Bring your friends too." "Yes Rarity." She then walked out. When she closed the door, Rarity said, "Uhhg, I can't believe you did this Sweetie, hmmm," Rarity put a hoof to her chin, "the way she said, 'I don't know about Harbringer,' about feeling guilty makes me worried, a lot. I'm gonna have to ask Rainbow to keep an eye on him from now on. After I find out what he looks like. Might as well ask Twilight as she talked with him." She then walked out. "No!" Diamond yelled at the crusaders as I watched form beside Diamond, "I won't let you quit!" "But the gossip we've been printing is hurting everypony's feelings!" Sweetie stated. " Feelings?! I don't care about feelings!" Diamond said, "Gabby Gums is my bread and butter, and I'm not gonna let you goody-two-horseshoes take that away from me!" "We're sorry, Diamond Tiara, but we've made our decision." Sweetie stated as she, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom nodded. "Yeah, you can't force us to keep gossiping." Scootaloo laughed. Diamo nd smirked, "When you see these... you may not want to quit after all." From inside a bag, she pulled three photos, one with Sweetie Belle wearing an embarrassing outfit from Rarity with feathers, next was a photo of Scootaloo in the mud, and last was a photo of Apple Bloom's baby pictures. All three blushed. "I told Featherweight to document everything..." Diamond smirked, "...And that's exactly what he did." "Gimme those!" Scootaloo made a grab for them, put Diamond pulled away. "Sorry, girls, property of the Foal Free Press. And if Gabby Gums really does go into retirement, I'll need something to fill that empty column space. Now get out there and bring me more Gabby Gums!" "Harbringer," Sweetie said, "help." I shack my head, "Sorry. Not much I can do." "BRING ME MORE GABBY!" Diamond commanded. The Crusaders promptly ran out. She then turned to me, "Why didn't you even try to grab them?" "What do you think you are to them?" "Uggg, I'm their, and your superior!" She yelled in my face, "You four are Blank-Flanks! I have a cutie mark! You all are below me!" I nod, "Really? Just because you have a cutie mark, a special talent, you say you are better than those who haven't found their's? You don't know what they'll be good at, your cutie mark is about getting other ponies to do your bidding,you don't know what they will be, heck, they can even be good at something important." She huffed, "As if! I am the most important, and richest, pony here besides my family!" "Ahh yes, Filthy and Spoiled, what is it that you think about them?" "Wha- well, " Diamond stopped to think, "they are rich, they give me everything...." "Yes but, do you love them? And do they love you?" "Ahh---..................................." Diamond said nothing. "There we go, you are lonely, you say you got everything, you are rich, you can get almost anything, but the one thing you can't get, is actual love and true friendships." "But, Silver....." "Is your only friend. But she only is so she doesn't get bullied." "But she has a cutie mark!" "You haven't been looking at who you were bullying. You just do it.” “I....” ”No one even really likes you.” “Ponies like me!” ”Do they? Or do they just act like they do so you won’t get mad?” “Well....” she stopped, “hey you! Come here!” A pony arrived. “Do you like me?” “.....uhhhh... welll....” ”You see how she hesitates Diamond? They don’t actually like you. You can leave now.” The pony walked away with questions. ”So, what will it be Diamond~?” She said nothing. ”Hmmm.... I’ll let you think.” I left through the door. I made my way to Twilight. Around her tree, I saw this purple-ish thing surrounding it. Deciding not to worry about it, I walk through it to the door and knocked. “What the.... didn’t I put up a shield?” I heard from Twilight inside. Ah so that’s what is was. I heard her walking over to the door. “Ok you....four?....” she said as she opened the door, she was clearly wasn’t expecting me and only me to be there, or me getting past the barrier. But then she regained her composure, “Well, you got my attention by somehow passing through the barrier, so tell me, what do you want now?” ”Well, “Actually no,” how did you get past the shield?!” ”Heheh. I have my ways. Anyway, I’m just here to get a book.” “Fine. Take a look around.” I did what she said and look around. Inside was shelves filled with books about Equestrian history, magic, ponies, the sun and moon, and other things. But in the back, was a single book. ”Hey Twilight, what’s that?” Said pony came around the corner, and when she saw the book I was mentioning, she quickly tried pulling me away with her magic, with again failed. “What the...?” She then reserted using her hooves to relocate me. “Don’t go near that book! Never! It’s too dangerous!” ”Why?” “Well uhhh....” she thought of an answer. I currently look at her with a face of ‘yes~~~~’. “Fine, it’s about the ’VOID’ and it’s inhabitants. And they are dangerous and unpredictable and some are inappropriate for others.” She closed the door that led to it. “So stay away from it.” ”O-Ok” The void and its creatures? Hmmmm.... I need that. But how do I get it? After a few minutes, I decided to put my plan into action. My 'plan' just being me walking in and taking it. Which worked wonderfully, no lasers, alarms, or anything! C'mon Twilight, somepony could have stolen that! HAHA!! "Twilight! I couldn't find anything!" "Ok!" "So I'll be leaving!" "Bye!" I left through the door. holding the book in front of me, I noticed it was so dusty. I left for a bench I can use to read it. Locating one, I began to read. Chapter One The Void The Void is a place inaccessible to anything not from there. Our only way that we know its there is from the creatures that tell us about it. The Void is said to be a completely empty place, empty of everything, with creatures that are horrifying and some might bring the end of us if they so please. From testing, defense is not trivial, a good, but unreliable because of its users, are the Elements of Harmony, See "Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide". From the descriptions given, it would drive any non-inhabitant insane. Chapter Two Inhabitants Some inhabitants of this place are described as horrifying. Most are actually harmless, some attack anything that is not from the Void. The inhabitants range from small, to impossibly huge. Not much is actually known about the inhabitants, all that is really know is that they are dangerous. If one is sighted, report to the nearest princess or user of the Elements, do not engage. Well that was informative. I log off. When I went to bed, I dreamed of the world of Equestria. > A Wedding Huh? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wasn't online for a few day because of school, but as of right now, I am back, I logged in and to my surprise, found myself in what I can only imagine was the Canterlot Castle. Huh.... a lot of gold and obsidian looking stuff everywhere. Didn't expect that. "HALT!!" a very loud, commanding voice said from behind me. And the pony in question was a very masculine pony wearing gold armor coming right around the corner with a buck load of companions with spears the size of my entire body! "Who are you and how did you manage to get in here without being seen?!" "Oh, I'm sorry, but I heard that there was a wedding going on and I like weddings! They are fun!" Some of the guards chuckle, but the one up front shut them up real quick. They then circled up to chat. "What shall we do?" "I don't know." "Could he be one of the ones we are defending against?" They then began circling me. "Ok little one, we are going to perform a spell to check if you are a pony." "What? How could I not be a pony?" "Well..." the pony was slapped by another, "Don't tell him that! Just perform the spell!" They all then lit up their horns with what I suspect to be a changeling disguise remover spell. Nothing happened. "He's safe." "Ok little one, come with us." I followed them all the way to these giant golden doors, when they opened them, in the far back of the room were Princess motherfreaking Celestia herself!! I'm screwed. "My princess, we have spotted a pony wondering the halls of the castle. And he has passed the spell check." "I can see that." She spoke. "What do you wish we do with him?" She thought for a moment, looking me up and down, until she finally said, "Leave him with me." "Of course your highness." the guards left us. Celestia did a small motion with her hooves and the rest of the guards cleared the room. It was just me and Celestia. "So my little pony," she said, "what was it that you were doing roaming around these halls?" "Well, I heard that there was going to be a wedding! I like weddings! They're fun!" She raised and eyebrow. I didn't like it. But then she gave a small laugh. "Yes yes they are. What is your name?" "Uhhh Black Harbringer." "Black Harbringer huh?" "Yes your ,highness." "Please, drop the formalities, just call me Celestia." "Ok Celestia." "So Harbringer," she said, "how is it that you were able to get here in under a day without using the train? Its not exactly close by the Ponyville." "Oh uhh, I flew? I am a fast flyer." She gave me this look that said to me, 'I didn't buy a single word you said'. "Surely you saw the pink shield surrounding the city right? You couldn't have flown in here as the bubble would have stopped you." "Well I heard that they were using it to keep some things out, I wasn't one so I passed through." She nodded in understanding, "Ok true." At that moment a guard arrived, "Presenting, The Bearers of the Elements of Harmony!!" He announced. "Ahh, there they are." "Princess, we are-- Harbringer?" Twilight came in, what the hay are you doing here?" "There's a weddinng!" "Yes, but, how did you get here?" she asked, "We arrived by train, we didn't see you in there." "So you're the ruffian that took the pictures!" Rarity came up to the front of the group. "You should have known better. Even if Diamond told you too." "Calm Rarity." Celestia raised a hoof, "As I myself as been on the cover of one of those newspapers, I didn't really mind it. 'Celestia Just Like Us?!' Perfect! It even caught me eating cake!" "Pri-princess?" "Do not worry My Student, no harm was really done." "I actually only took two photos, and they were both right after the other." "Which one?" Celestia asked. "Oh just the 'Speed Demon' one." "What?!" I heard from the back of the group. And from the ashes, came a rainbow. A rainbow sprouted in front of my face. "You were the one who posted that one?!" "Yep." "Wait," Applejack stopped us, "ya said that ya took two photos, what was the other one?" "Heheh, oh just the one where you were all surrounding Spike with big smiles on your faces." I laughed when I saw there faces of utter shock. Rarity blushed, Fluttershy cowered, Applejack just stood there, Rainbow looked like she wanted to say something, Pinkie did nothing, and Twilight glared at me. Oh, and Spike just stood there looking at the others. "I left after that." "You little ruffian!" Hey, just be glad I didn't publish that." They all paled. "Ahh yes, I could have seen the title, 'What do they do when nopony's looking? The luckiest dragon in Ponyville?'" It would have been great. "I don't think that's inappropriate for a school newspaper." *Shrug* "I could have tried though." "Where did you even come of the knowledge little pony?" "My parents." "Really?" Celestia asked. "Yeah! As mom didn't really care about me, she didn't really care about what I saw." "And what you're saying is?~" "Yep. One day, she put on a porno, as I was in the same room. And after that, I read more about what I saw, and learned some things." "Twilight told me her name," Celestia stated, "her name was Black Fizzy Pop right?" "Yep." "Of course, Harbringer, can you leave the room for a sec?" Celestia asked' "Oh sure." I walked out, the guards closing the doors behind me. And from the room I was just in, I could hear them talking about how disgusting she was. Saying things like, "Ah can't believe a mare would put somethin' like that with her child in the same room!" and, "Oh how dreadful." and like, "I never had a foal, and most likely never will, but I will never, never put that on with them around!" And more. "Ummm hello?" I heard behind me. And behind me, was Princess Cadence. Well, actually Queen Chrysalis, but, who's keeping check? "Who are you and what are you doing trespassing in the castle?!" "Oh Cadence!" "That's Princess Mi Amore Cadenza you little....."she stopped herself, "why are you here?" "I heard that you were going to have a wedding! So I sneaked in to see it!" "Huh-uh... as much as I love as many ponies as possible gawking over me, you must leave. I shake my head, "Sorry but, Celestia told me to wait out here." To Chrysalis:"Of course, but you wouldn't know that now would you?" 'Cadence' then looked around for the source of that voice, "What are you looking for princess?" "Oh uh nothing," she then sighed, "fine, I will get Celestia another time." She walked back the way she came. To Chrysalis:"Bye Chrsy! See ya later." She shuddered as she turned the corner. "Ok Harbringer, you can come back in" Twilight said as she opened the door letting me in. "Ok Harbringer, both of ya parents are... not alive, anymore right?" Applejack asked. "Yeah, dad died first, when he died, mom immediately dropped me off at the orphanage. Good thing too, I didn't really want to live with her alone." Rarity's face was appalled. "Heh, she died shortly after in another attack. Karma is a real ***** huh?" Wait a sec, was that a censor? I think it was. "Was that a censor sound?" Rainbow asked at the sound. Huh... so I guess it also extends to them. Interesting. "I don't think anypony attended her funeral." "Sorry girls," Celestia said, breaking us up, "but we need to begin with the wedding now." "Oh oh oh! I saw Cadence!" "You did." Twilight said. "Yeah! She was sorta mean though. Saying I didn't belong here. I thought she was the Princess of Love." Twilight eyes lit up as if to say, 'we will be taking later'. They all said nothing as they left the room, leaving me with Celestia again. "So.... Harbringer," I don't like where this might go. "You say that Princess Cadence is acting a little weird?" "Yea- uhh yeah.... I never actually met her, but I heard she was super nice, but when i met her outside, she was actually pretty rude." "Hmmm yes, well, I can assure you that she meant no ill meaning behind it, just that she was surprised to see a foal outside the throne room." Oooh she's good. "Well, I guess but, she was even about to swear." Celestia raised a brow, "Explain." :Well, she said, 'That's Princess Mi Amore Cadenza you little.....' so yeah." "I will talk to her about it later. But for now, tell ne...." she never was able to finish that statement as the door to the throne room bursted open to the sight of a dark alicorn whose name is Luna. "Celestia!" she yelled, attempting to get her sister's attention, "We have felt it again!" "Felt what?" "A pony entering thee mind of a pony!" "Where?" Celestia asked with a hint of worry. "Right here in the castle!" Luna stated, well crap. "We fear that if a pony that can enter a mind by themself and being here in thou castle, we fear it might bring disastrous results!" "Hmmm.... I see." They looked right at me. "Tia, who is this little pony?" I gulp. "This, sister, is Black Harbringer, I'm sure I told you about him after Twilight's letter." "Oh yes, well, you have my condolences." "Oh well, thank you." Another glare, I'm fucked if they find out, and this one holds rule over the mind, so she definitely knows. "Well, yes," she said, still glaring, "now, go with Twilight, as you are a foal, they will look after you while you are here." "Ye-yea-yes ma'am" I scurried off out the door. After galloping to find Twilight, I finally found them in the dining hall of the castle. Twilight heard me when I opened the door leading to the hall. "Harbringer?" she asked, "What are you doing here?" "Oh well, Luna came in, and sent me away while she talked with Celestia. She said go with Twilight." She sighed, "Well fine, if Luna said so. Come on Harbringer, you can help us set up." "Ok fine." While the others went on to do their thing, I was tasked by Twilight to find 'Cadence'. Finding her was the easy part, getting her to come to the kitchen was the problem. "C'mon Cadence, Twilight needs you to make sure you are fine with everything." "Isn't that her job?" 'Cadence' asked. Heheh "True, but it is your wedding, you make the choices." "Fine! Whatever," she sighed relectely, "I'll go." "Thank you." After making it to the kitchen, 'Cadence' was then asked by Applejack if the apple-based food was up to her standards. 'Cadence' gagged, but in the end said, "Yeah, urp, they're great!" Applejack smiled, "That's great ta hear Princess! Ah'll be sure to pack extra. Here, Ah'll even pack you some for the road!" Applejack hoofed 'Cadence' an extra bag, and when Applejack's back was turned, 'Cadence' threw them in the trash nearby. 'Cadence' turned to me, "So uhhh..." "Midnight Pop." "Midnight Pop..., why are you following me?" I cleared my throat and regaled up, "As order of Princess Celestia, I will stay with you while you go on about your day." "....Uh-huh. Yes well, go away." "Nmmm hmmm. Sorry Cadence, can't." 'Cadence' grumbled. She smirked. "I guess you can help. Follow me." Hmmmm. I think I am about to be replaced by a changeling. We headed out into the empty hallway. And after five minutes of walking, "So Chrysalis, when is it gonna happen?"[/i Chrysalis stopped in her tracks to look at me while i kept walking. "How- how did you know?" "I foresaw it. But enough about how I know, its how you expect Twilight to be fooled." "Hmpf! I did not come here to be instructed how to do my job by a Foal!" "Oh ho! But that doesn't mean anything now does it? As a foal, I am trusted. I can help you get to be trusted." "I'm listening." "First, you not knowing about the 'Sunshine Dance,' Twilight suspects something is wrong." Chrysalis sighed, "Yes, the moment she did that, I knew it was something I was supposed to know." "Second, if you get a chance to get Twilight alone, don't put her in with Cadence, she is much stronger than you think." "I'll.....keep that in mind." "And third, putting me into a cocoon won't do you any good, I know you are thinking it." "And I plan to do it, your mind will be valuable to me." She smirked and lit her horn. And after a few seconds, nothing much happened. "You done?" She stopped. "Wha-what?!" Shock entered her face, "How are you able to be affected?!" "Hold it!" Twilight yelled getting our attention from behind us. To Chrysalis:"You Idiot" 'Cadence' glanced over at me. "Harbringer!" Twilight tried to use her magic to pull me away, but forgot she can't do that. She grumbled as she decided to put herself in between us instead. "Who are you really?" Twilight asked 'Cadence'. "Oh Twilight darling." 'Cadence' said sweetly. Twilight raised a brow. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to 'Sunshine' with you, as I haven't done it in a while and mostly forgot about it, I only remembered it later." "Ok but, what about this, 'how are you not able to be affected?' thing you were doing with Harbringer?!" Twilight questioned. "Oh Twilight, we were trying to fix something near the blinds, so she tried to levitate me up there, but couldn't." Twilight nods in understanding. "Yeah," Twilight glanced at the floor, "for some reason, some types of magic does not affect him. Still trying to figure that out." she looked up. "Fine! You win this round, but I'll be back." Twilight slipped around the corner out of sight. "C'mon Cadence, we need to get to Fluttershy and her birds." 'Cadence' was right, the bird was very off-key. Here I am turning down the volume so it wouldn't be so loud as well. Fluttershy gently told the bird to 'shut up'. Not in those words though. We quickly left to check on the dress and Rarity. "Ahh Cadence!" Rarity said when we came in. "Its so wonderful to see you! I am almost done with your dress as of now. Come! Take a look!" Rarity levitated the mareiquin out from behind the dressing thing whatever its called and placed it before 'Cadence'. "I hope you love it!" 'Cadence' gave one look at it and said, "No. I don't." "Whaaaaaat?" "Look at it! the drapes are too short, the color is awful, and the quality, feels way too rough!" 'Cadence' pointed out fake things. "I want it re-done with more yellow and less pink, I want the drapes longer and it to be softer." "Yes Princess." Rarity sighed, and levitated the mareiquin back behind the thing again. We exited through the open door behind us. "Harbringer." "Yes ma'am?" "Is there anything else that is required for us to do?" "Hmmm. No Princess. Nothing left until tomorrow." "Good." She said. "Finally. Good to be done." "Agreed, even though we didn't particularly did anything, just critique what others did." "Well yes but, I never did like to go out and look at stuff." She put a hoof to her chin. "Harbringer, do you plan to keep following me throughout the entire day?" "Oh don't worry. I'll 'look the other way.'" 'Cadence' groaned "Fine! But don't tell anything to anypony!" "Heheh don't worry about that Chrysalis." "And don't call me that!" So we went in circles because 'Cadence' thought if we went nowhere, I would bug off. She was wrong. She finally relented and we headed to her room, where Shining Armour was waiting. "So Shiny dear," 'Cadence' said, "What now?" "Well honey, I was thinking about, the...." Shining realized that there was another pony in the room with them. "Uhhh who is this?" "Oh him.... ahhh he was designated to me during the preparations earlier." 'Cadence' said, "He will be leaving soon." she glared. "Of course princess." I calmly walked out and closed the door after. "Who goes there?!" I heard off in the distance, "Stay inside Twilight Sparkle." And in the distance, I saw the mentioned pony racing her way over here. "Heh. Calm down Twilight, Cadence and Shining are both in there right now." "Get out of my way Harbringer." she ran past me. "Rude....." "Harbringer." a guard strided up to me, "Princess Celestia requires your presence in the throne room." "Fine. Show me the way." "This way," he said. We made our way to the castle, and as we approached, I saw the Canterlot Statue Gardens. And a ways in, saw the Statue of Discord. Hmmm.... he looks a little worn down. Might need to tell Celestia about that one. Inside the throne room, Celestia mentioned for the guards to leave the room. At least, I think that was what it meant for the guards left the room. "Harbringer," Celestia said when they all left, "glad to see that you came." "Well Princess, I was summoned, so I answered." "Summoned?" she asked, "not many ponies still use that when I call for their presence". "Oh well..." "But anyway, the reason I called you is, Luna has caught something intruding in on the realm of minds, which she roams in." "Ok~~~ What does that have to so with me being here?" "Luna says that 'something' is you." I Knew It!! She knew! I'm gonna die. Might as well sign my wavers and will now. "She says the way you talk is something commonly done while there." "WHO ARE YOU CREATURE OF THE MIND!!" There goes my ears. And in comes Luna. "YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!!" "Sister, please do quiet down a bit, my ears are ringing." Celestia deadpanned. Luna cleared her throat, "Sorry Tia." "Now, as my sister says oh so loudly," Celestia stated, "you are no regular pony, you belong back in the mind realm." "Sister, may I do it?" Luna asked with hope. "You may." Luna charged up her horn and fired a bolt of dark, completely black magic from her horn. It was too fast and too sudden for me to dodge. It hit, or more likely, went through me and bounced harmlessly off the floor before stopping on the wall, making a scorch mark on it. Luna's face showed this was not the result she was expecting at all. Celestia's on the other hoof, showed calmness on the outside, but on the inside, she was freaking out. "Wha--What kind of black magic is this?!!" Luna yelled with all her might. "Twilight told me that Harbringer's parents dabbled in black magic." Celestia said, "so yeah, a lot of it." "Die creature!!" Luna yelled blasting more bolts out of her horn. All going through. Now I was getting upset. To Luna: You might as well give up. "NEVER!!" Luna growled, and shot one final bolt of dark plasma out of her horn. It went through me, and blasted a hole in the wall leading to the hall. Luna collapsed. "Luna!" Celestia ran over to her sister, "Are you ok?! Talk to me!" "Oh calm down Celestia, she just collapsed from magic exhaustion" "Yes, meaning she is now asleep." *Yawn* "While I would enjoy to hear what you are going to say, I need to go to sleep. By Tia." I logged out and headed to bed. > I Should Have Known > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the dream, it appeared to be a few hours after I logged out. Me, as Harbringer, was planning the rest of the wedding. As that said, it was all going well, and everything went on time, Twilight showing up to decree that she was not going to stand by 'Cadence' and neither should Shining. 'Cadence' did her thing, although braking character at first, but quickly correcting it. I was hidden behind a pillar in the room nearest the farest corner away from everything else. Everypony left the room, only me, Twilight, and 'Cadence' were left inside. "I'm sorry!" Twilight said as 'Cadence' grew near. "You will be." 'Cadence' said as flames came from the ground and consumed Twilight, sending her to the Crystal Caverns. That idiot. I told her not to send her there with Cadence. I was about to wake up then, I could tell because everything went black. I waited for a while but, nothing, I was still there. "Well shit" I said, noticing the weirdness of my voice. I looked down, I saw hooves, black hooves. ...... I tried flicking, but hey, hooves! So I just tapped one against the other, and to nobody's surprise, I felt it. "Well... I guess this is happening now huh?" It was only a matter of time. Didn't actually knew what I was thinking, 'suddenly, my computer takes me from "Dragon's Life" and put is in Equestria.' Of course it would displace me here one day when I sleep! *Sigh* But, where is here? All around me was nothing but the darkness of what looked like a cave, Think Connect, think! What to do. A bight flash. I was blinded for a brief second. Then as quickly as it came, it was gone, leaving me flat out on my back in the Crystal Caverns with Twilight looking at me confused as hell. "Oh no. Harbringer!" she quickly got over her confusion, as you can tell. "She got you too!" I wasn't feeling anything. Nothing except the coldness of the cavern on my back. "Uhhg, where am I?" Huh? My voice is a nice tone of deep. "The caves beneath Canterlot, once home to greedy unicorns who wanted to claim the gems that could be found inside." A reflection of 'Cadence' said echoing around us. "And now, your prison." Twilight started panicking. I just laid there trying to get up. And easily doing that. It was much easier to do this than others make it out to seem. "It's no use. No one can hear you. And no one will ever think to look for you, either. Most ponies have forgotten that these caves even exist, which is why they are the ideal place to keep the ones who try to interfere with my plans." The reflection laughed. "Plans? What plans?" "The plans I have for your brother, of course." "Don't you dare do anything to my brother, you... you monster!" ""Only way to stop me is to catch me!" I just stood there, watching as Twilight time after time blast magic at the crystals. "Over here! Nope, over here!" After blowing that one up, it revealed Cadence all bruised up. "No! Wait! Ugh! Please! Don't hurt me!" She said. "Twilight, it's me! Please, you have to believe me. I've been imprisoned like you. The Cadance who brought you down here was an imposter." "Likely story!" Twilight glared, "now, clench your teeth." "Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves..." Cadence began the ritual of the ladybugs. "...and do a little shake." Twilight joined in, finishing the ritual. "You remember me!" "Of course I do. How could I forget the filly I love to sit for the most?" They hugged. But the meeting was cut short as the laugh of Chrysalis echoing. "We have to get out of here. We have to stop her!" Above us, was Celestia giving vows. "Oh, we're never going to save him." Cadence slumped. "We will. We just have to find..." Twilight looked around for something, anything to get out, "There!" she pointed at a opening producing light. When we got there, waiting for us were Minuette, Lyra Heartstrings, and Twinkleshine, who all said, "You're not going anywhere." with green glowing light behind their eyes. Might as well try now. I began to think how to talk inwardly. I just settled on thinking of their names. To Minuette, Lyra, and Twinkleshine: Go away. As soon as it was said, they began to spaz out before just falling to the ground. "Wha- what happened?" Cadence asked. "No time to ask!" Twilight yelled frantically. "Just go!" Up Above "Princess Cadance and Shining Armor, it is my great pleasure to pronounce you–" *BANG* The door at the other side of the hall slammed open to reveal Twilight and me. "Stop!" Twilight yelled. "Ugh! Why does she have to be so possessive of her brother?" 'Cadence' sobbed, "Why does she have to ruin my special day?" "Because it's not your special day!" Cadence run through us into the front, "It's mine!" "What? But how did you escape my bridesmaids?" Chrysalis shocked. "They just, dropped dead." "Wha-? You traitor!" " Ah- ah don't understand. How can there be two of 'em?" Applejack ponited. "She's a changeling. She takes the form of somepony you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them." Cadence explained And at that moment, green flames roared around Chrysalis, revealing her true form. She laughed, "Right you are, Princess. And as queen of the changelings, it is up to me to find food for my subjects. Equestria has more love than any place I've ever encountered. My fellow changelings will be able to devour so much of it that we will gain more power than we have ever dreamed of!" "They'll never get the chance! Shining Armor's protection spell will keep them from ever even reaching us!" "Oh, I doubt that. Isn't that right, dear?" Shining nodded absentmindedly. Cadence stepped forward, "Ah, ah, ah. Don't want to go back to the caves, now do you? Ever since I took your place, I've been feeding off Shining Armor's love for you. Every moment he grows weaker and so does his spell. Even now, my minions are chipping away at it." Chrysalis laughed maniacally, "He may not be my husband, but he is under my total control now." Beside me, Twilight and Cadence gasped. "And, I'm sorry to say, unable to perform his duties as captain of the Royal Guard." "Not my Shining Armor!" "Soon, my changeling army will break through. First, we take Canterlot. And then, all of Equestria!" "No. You won't." Oh look, the amazing Celestia doing something now, "You may have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his spell, but now that you have so foolishly revealed your true self, I can protect my subjects from you!" They shot death beams at each other, Chrysalis ultimately won. "Ah! Shining Armor's love for you is even stronger than I thought! Consuming it has made me even more powerful than Celestia!" "The Elements of Harmony." Celestia coughed. "You must get to them and use their power to defeat the queen." Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow, and Rarity all raced outside. "You can run, but you can't hide!" Outside, was the insanely loud sound of glass shattering. Everypony went into a panic. "Ahhh finally." Chrysalis said. "Go my children! Feed." Chrysalis noticed that I was still in the giant doorway. She glared. "Get him." Five changelings entered the room by two different methods, who then attacked me. As the first one got close, I instinctively jumped on him and begun giving him multiple punches onto his back, he went down instantly. The rest hissed. Two more came, I grabbed the hoof of one and threw it into the other. Another just went at me, I just flipped him into the floor. The last one, hissed, and retreated, but not before giving Cadence a sleep spell. "You impress me little colt." Chrysalis slow clapped. "From earlier, I can tell that no spell I try to cast on you will affect you, am I right?" I winked, "That's right." "Well," She walked over to Cadence, wrapping her up in green goo, "the only reason i am not immediately sending more of my offspring against you is because I actually do care for my children." "Wonderful." "Yes... quite." "Anyway, I will be over there waiting for something else to happen" "You won't get away with this! Twilight and her friends will–" Cadence shut up when the door opened to reveal Twilight and her friends. "You were saying?" Chrysalis smirked. "You do realize the reception's been cancelled, don't you? Go! Feed!" "It's funny, really. Twilight here was suspicious of my behavior all along. Too bad the rest of you were too caught up in your wedding planning to realize those suspicions were correct!" Chrysalis Laughed. "And Harbringer as been helping me all until now." "Harbringer!" Twilight yelled. Chrysalis did another musical number. While everyling was not focused on her, Twilight went up and freed Cadence from her prison. "Quick! Go to him while you still have the chance!" Cadence went over to Shining, after making this weird sound, the green glow from his eyes left. "Wha– where... huh? Is...is the wedding over?" he asked. "It's all over!" "Your spell! Perform your spell!" Shining visibly strained at trying. "No! My power is useless now. I don't have the strength to repel them." Cadence nuzzled him, "My love will give you strength." "What a lovely but absolutely ridiculous sentiment." Chrysalis turned back towards the window, missing the powerful, bright pink, purple and white whirlwind of magic that lifts the couple into the air and shakes the room. *BOOM* The magic spread outwards. Kicking Chrysalis out and giving me this weird feeling, as it passed harmlessly through me. Outside, all of the changelings that were there are now being tossed through the air of pink magic. After they all congratulated each other, they all turned on me. "Harbringer~" Twilight groaned. I know that magic don't affect me, but I'm sure that physical attacks can. I smiled sheepishly. "Yeah?" "We will talk about this later." There was a wedding. The true wedding, with the real Cadence. After the after-party, me, not actually knowing how to reset myself, just oped to ride on the train with Twilight. > A Scolding > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The train ride back to Ponyville was not that eventful. Twilight and the other five, minues Pinkie and Fluttershy were all glaring at me. It took most of the day to get there, and when we got there, "Girls," Twilight frowned, "go home, let me take care of Harbringer." "Ya heard her girls." Applejack said, "Move it." They all scattered leaving me and Twilight... Spike too. "So Harbringer," Twilight began with a frown. "Yes~~~~?" "It was said that you helped Chrysalis some back there. You want to explain why?" "Oh well, I guess because of the 'dark magic' permeating throughout my body from my parents." "Yes well," Twilight groaned, "you are lucky you are only a child, or else you would have been locked up for being an accomplish." Ah yes, that sounds good. "You knew that 'Cadence' was not Cadence! Why didn't you even bother to tell us?! ME?!" "I did, don't you remember? I told you along with Celestia that 'Cadence' was not acting right." "I know that!" She yelled, "I might have not been able to use the Elements on her, but I would like to try them on you. They might even cleanse you of the 'dark magic' that 'permeates' you~." I *Flinch* "Now now Twi, I don't think we need to get hasty here." "You should have thought about it before you help her!" I don't like the look of this. If this goes worse, I'm sure I will get an achievement about how screwed I will be. I can see it now, 'Rainbow death wave incoming!' It'll be great! "Give me one good reason that I shouldn't take you back up to Canterlot right now!" I cower, "I fought some of her Changelings." "What." "Ye-yeah, back after you left me there with her, she sent five changelings after me. Beat them all without issue." "And how does that stop me?" "I guess it doesn't." I shrugg. "You're in for it now," she was one angry pony, "Spike, get the others while I walk Harbringer to the library." "Yes ma'am," Spike ran off. "Now Harbringer, start moving." Welp, I'm dead either way, I start heading for the tree. I need a way out of this. *Probably turn back into drago? No, I don't know how to reset myself. Well ya better think about it fast! Because soon, you will be wiped off the face of the planet!* Think, think. We have arrived. And for some ungodly reason, the others were already there. "Twi, ya better have a reason for draggin' us back here." Applejack yawned. "I agree darling," Rarity also yawned, "I was about to sleep." "Your here because of him!" Twilight pointed to me. "This little pony while we were in Canterlot, was a little helper of Chrysalis!" "Twi... just because I told her what to do to keep you away from the real Cadence , doesn't mean that it was that bad." ".........YOU WHAT?!" That was a bad idea. "Girls," her horn lit up, and in the corner of the room, the case containing the Elements of Harmony lifted up and the Elements floated to their respected holders, "take these." "Uh Twi, you aren't seriously thinkin' about using the Elements on Harbringer? Are ya Sugarcube?" Applejack frowned. "Oh I don't know, it might be a swell punishment, besides locking him up in the Canterlot Dungeons. It might even 'cure' him of the dark magic that permeates his body." "Now Twilight, you don't even know what it might do. I was born with dark magic, we don't know what it will do." Too late, I heard a charging sound, looking over, My eyes widen in terror. A white aura surrounded the six, floating. I had to get out! But, I couldn't move, I couldn't even look around. My eyes were firmly planted on the six readying to fire their beam of death. *BOOM* The white aura turned into the rainbow of death. I was finally able to move. I found out. So I booked it out the door. The rainbow followed me. *DING* No time! Gotta run! Achievement unlocked. Chaotic Runner I ran for a good twenty seconds. I then felt this indescribable pain coarse through my body. The pain was so great that I Immediately blacked out form the unbearable pain. "Tw-Twilight?" Fluttershy asked, "Do you think it wa a g-good idea to fire the Harmony blast at Harbringer?" "Oh I'm sure he's fine." "Ah don't know Sugarcube," Applejack said, "Ah don't like the idea o' firin' a rainbow wave, capable o' destoryin' anythin' evil." That gave Twilight some thought. "Hmmm.... yes, maybe I was a little too quick." "Where is he?" Rainbow asked as they got out the door. "He should have been right here when we blasted him." "Twi, ah said that firin' a wave that destroys anythin' evil was an awful idea!" "Uhhh no need to worry anypony." Twilight said trying to stop the insuring panic that was going to happen. "We just need to look around. Now go look around!" 30 minutes of searching later "O-Ogard?! Twilight!" "What is it Fluttershy? Oh my him again." "I don't care what beef you have about him, help me get him to the hostpital. I wasn't dead, which is good. Though the pain is awful. First day actually in Equestria and I already got blasted almost to death by a wave of pure Harmony. I couldn't see anything. So by that logic, I could tell that my eyes were closed and couldn't open...or i didn't have eyes anymore. "Will he be ok doc?" I heard from beyond my lack of sight. And from the tone, it was Fluttershy. And 'doc'? I was in a hospital. "I can't tell for sure Miss Shy, as we have no training for dragons here." Wait. dragons? "And I don't know if it is the equipment we have here, but his skeleton does not match other dragon skeletons that were found." Did I change back into Drago? Reset Back to game. Ah so I basically had to die to access this screen. I clicked reset. And I saw the room I was in finally. I generic hospital room. My body fell apart. As it does when you reset. Fluttershy screamed. I was booted back to a 3D version of the character screen. I made a new character. > Robots in Disguise > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oh! H-hello?" "Hello... "Huh~~ Who are you?" "This Units name is 6rU1oS." "Unit?" "Correct. Unit 6rU1oS is a model 9 M.E.R.P.S." "And why are you here at the school?" "Unit is here to Ensconce itself." ".......what?" "Cache itself. Unit is not appropriate to regular pony speaking." "Hide?" "Correct, Miss Cheerilee." Miss Cheerilee, who in better terms, is confused. I bet she's thinking, 'Why in Equestria is there a robot standing right infront of me?' I was getting into the persona of a robot pretty well, though later on, I know I will start groaning. It will be tough. Anyway yeah, 6rU1oS, or for simpler english, Grutos, 'is' a 'robot'. "Unit has chosen here to hide. For the immediate time being." "Oh w-well, sure I-I-I guess." Cheerilee said. "Class is about to start soon, so please, have a seat." "Acknowledge. Miss Cheerilee." I went over to a random seat and sat down. And after minutes of staring off, the bell rang indicating that class has finally begun. The fillies and colts were all having a wonderful time talking to one another. All until they saw a colt, mostly looks like he's covered in dirt, and in the places he's not, three different colors are found, Orange, Black, and Brown. They all filled into their seats waiting for Cheerilee to explain why there is a colt that looks like they rolled in the dirt and was painted with bland colors. "Umm ok students, sit down, we have a new, 'student' today. Please, introduce yourself to the class." "Hello, the unit's serial name is 6rU1oS, model 9 system." Everypony looked at me in either fear, awe, or both. "6rU1oS is pleased to be here, though I already know most things already, 6rU1oS will stay." "Yes well," Cheerilee said, clearly not knowing how to react, "let's just get this over with." It was now recease. And the Crusaders came up to me, "Oh he-hello? Grutos? was is it?" I look around for anypony who might be listening, "Girls, it's me, Harbringer." "Harbringer!?" "Shhhh. Not so loud." "Harbinger?" Apple Bloom whispered, "Why are you pretending to be a robot?" "Well, the 'Main 6' blasted me with the Elements because of my involvement with the Changelings, and now, i'm hiding from them." "What did you do?" a pony, who is not Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, or Scootaloo asked. 'Oh by the love of...!' I swore inwardly. And of course, behind me, was a large group of fillies and colts standinding behind me, staring at me with their two large eyes. ”Why is it every time I try to say something to somepony discreetly, there is a large crowd behind me?” They continued to stare expectantly, *sigh* “Fine. Do you know the attack in Canterlot the other day?" “Who doesn’t?” Asked Cheerilee who was also in the crowd, “it was front page news.” ”Well, I tried helping Chrysalis, who was the attacker, because of the low amounts of ‘dark magic’ coursing through me, but anyway yeah, Chrysalis said I helped, though she did nothing I told her to do, and when me and the Elements got here, Twilight brought me to her tree house and got the others to use the elements on me.” “If you have ‘dark magic’ in you,” a pony in the crowd asked, “how are you still here?” I paled, ”Oh huh~~ the dark was a small enough amount?” *shrug* Only few ponies seemed to accept that. *Shrugs* Cheerilee facehoofed. "Just..... don't do anything that will require them to use them again?" "Acknowledge Miss Cheerilee." *Smirk* After the many hours of school, it was finally time to leave. "So uhhh... Harbringer....?" Apple Bloom asked, "ummm do you want us to keep calling you Harbringer or Grutos?" "6rU1oS. I am hiding as this, so call me that." "Oh ok." replied Sweetie Belle. "Do you, still want to come to the clubhouse with us?" "Hmmm... 'Chance Of Being Discovered By Applejack-High. She Might Ask If I Am Seen.' Sure." "Uhh, if ya don't want to come, we won't force ya." Apple Bloom said worryingly. "No no. It's good. Really." "Hmmm... ok, fine." Said Apple Bloom. We headed over to Apple Acres and in 4 minutes, we were at the entrance. “Heya Mac!” Apple said to the big pony himself. “Eeyup.” “Do ya know where AJ is?” “Eenope.” “Darn,” Apple Bloom said, “C’mon Grutos. This way!” ”Affirmative.” As we began to trudge along to the clubhouse, I noticed Big Mac standing there confusedly. Meh. not anything I care about. Anyway, when we arrived at the club house, Bloom pulled the string connected to the stairway and it lowered to the ground. We walked in the the building and the girls sat on the cushions in front of the potium at the back. “So, Harbringer?” Bloom asked, being the first one to sit, “Why do ya... look like tat?” The other two then sat down next to her. ”Well... tl;dr, Twilight shot me with a rainbow after we came home to try and rid me of my 'dark' magic, and instead of me turning to stone, being sent to the moon, or actually working, it basically destroyed my body." "Destroyed? How much dark magic was in you?" Scootaloo asked qualmly. I shrug. "I don't think it's a good thing to have." "Do not worry little Scoots, I am not a bad pony. Only a little mischievous thanks to dear old mom and dad." "That's comforting," one of them whispered. "Indeed it is. Anyway... why did you bring me here other then to get me to explain why I am now a robot?" "Well..." Bloom said, "If ya are really a robot now, can ya do robot things!?" "Heheh.... Unit can do many things. Model 9's are equip with many newer systems than the model 8's." "I think that's a given." Sweetie stated. "You say you are a model 9 in.... what was it again?" "Unit 6rU1oS is a model 9 M.E.R.P.S. System." "Yeah... that," Sweetie said hesitantly, "is that actually a thing? Or something you just made up?" "Unit positive it's a thing for this unit's not the only one." "There's more?!" they asked. "Indeed. As a model 9, this unit can scan for other M.E.R.P.S. systems in the immediate area." "Is, is there one near here? Besides you?" Sweetie asked, if somewhat nervous. "......... Indeed. " "What!?" They yelled. "Where?" "Other than Unit, there's an experimental unit 7 right here in this room with us." "That can't be." Bloom spoke, "If anyone of us was a robot, we would know. R-right?" "Negative. The experimental model 7s were made to fit in with ponies. Made to look, act, grow, use magic/fly with wings/tend to the planet, and even have foals. A few of its kind system." "But... who...?" Bloom questioned, looking at her friends. "Do you want Unit to tell you? The pony might not want to know." "Tell us. Please." *sigh* "Ok then." I lit my horn, it's glow swallowing Sweetie in its brownish black hue. In the matter of one nano second, the 'fur' on Sweetie's body shifted rapidly in a metal looking surface. "Wait what?! Why me!" said the newly undisguised robot. "Congratulations Miss. Belle. You are one of the only model 7s that were made." "Please, tell me this is some kind of joke." she desperately said. "Afraid not Miss. Belle. Unit did speak that the pony might not want to know." "But...but..." > Just Why? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was nighttime... and I had no where to sleep. Hmm... might has well sleep in the clubhouse with Scoots. If she's even there. Opening the door, I caught Scoots in the middle of setting up her little sleeping bag. "Oh uhh Grutos!" Scootaloo laughed nervously as she tried to kick her bag out of sight. "W-wh-what are you doing here?" "Do not fret young Scootaloo. Unit is just here to power down for the night. And Unit collected that this place will be suitable for long time resting." "W-wha...?" "Unit will be hunkered down by the wall for the foreseeable night. If Unit is required, wait until morning, for Unit will not be on till then." "Wait a se..." "Unit will talk with you again in the morning." "Bu-but..." I awakened to find the other crusaders crowded around the podium. "I don't think it's a good idea for him to have stayed here overnight." It sounds like they are talking about me. "Yeah. Mah family already knows that ya sleep here sometimes Scoots, but..." "Wait. They do?!" "Quite!" "Yeah well, Ah don't know what they'll think if some random, unknown colt is also sleepin' here standin' all creeply in tha dark." Hmm... oh yeah. why didn't I actually think of that? I felt my body shudder. That's strange. What was that all about? Looking out the window of the clubhouse, I saw what looks to be red and purple beams of magic. and the feeling of 'age spells'. Why 'age spells' specifically? The only time where those were used was when Tri... Ah yes~ looks like Trixie's back in town and is in possesion of the 'Alicorn Amulet'. Might as well go have a look. "Well girls, I quite enjoyed listening to you talk about me ,but, I got somewhere else to be at the moment." "Grutos? You were..." I disappeared from their view and appeared at Ponyville Square. "Trixie is the highest level unicorn! [laughs] And now it's time for you to leave Ponyville!" said the Great and Powerful Trixie, looking down on the defeated Twilight Sparkle, "FOREVER!" "That's enough, Trixie!" Applejack said, coming to the aid of her friend. "You proved your point, but you can't possibly expect Twilight to leave Ponyville!" Trixie laughs, "You fools! She's already gone!" and at the word 'gone', Twilight is immediantly banished from Ponyville. We all ran to the outskirts where we see Twilight standing there. "It's okay, guys. I'll figure something out. Just take care of each other. And keep an eye on Trixie. There's something strange about her." A large bowl then lowered onto the entirety of Ponyville, separating Twilight from the inside of Ponyville. “Twilight?” Spike whimpered. Trixie then poofed Twilight into the actual Everfree Forest. “Now come Trixie’s subjects,” Trixie laughs maniacally, “we have work to be done to get this place to Trixie’s liking!” Trixie conjured up a mobile sleigh “Snips! Snails! You’re service is required!” “Yes your most Great and most Powerfulest?” They bowed. “Trixie demands that you pull her sleigh until I get my throne.” At that, everypony decided to head back, with Snips and Snails pulling Trixie’s sleigh. I missed the actual duel. Well, since I’m trapped in here along with everypony else, I might as well go back as well. What I saw when I opened the door to the Ponyville town hall, was the sight of ponies running/flying from place to place, hanging up banners with Trixie’s face on them. “YOU!!” I jump a little. “Yes you! Get over here! Nopony gets to take a break!” Ahh~ so she’s talking to me. ”Yes Trixie?” “That’s the Greatest and Most Powerfulest Trixie to you! You lowlife!” ”You hold no power over Unit. For Unit does not care about anything you can do.” “You dare talk back to Trixie?!" Trixie got off her throne to walk over to me, her eyes and the amulet glowing red. "You. Should Bow! For Trixie~ has defeated the cheater Twilight Sparkle!" She laughs. "And you, you are just a little foal!" I shrug. "Well, Trixie may be right, I am a foal. But what does that got to do with anything?" "M-M-Miss Trixie?" "What is it!?" Trixie turned to Snips. He points over to Applejack who is dumping the 'hoof-pressed' apples out the window. "YOU! What are you doing with Trixie's applesauce facial?!" "I ain't doing nothin' 'til you let Twilight come home!" she said. Trixie just floated a feather and tickled her. Applejack laughs uncontrollably. “I’ll do it! Just make it stop!” Trixie then whipped her head over to Pinkie Pie. “I thought I told you to dance! And you!” She turned back to me, “you look good with a horn, Tr-I want you over there with that pile of sheets that these other worthless good for nothings don’t get! And hang them outside.” ”Would Trixie also a bag full of crumbled up pieces of paper asking one question, ‘Why?’” “GO!” ”Whatever you say.” The sheets were more ‘bannery’ than ‘sheety’, but whatever, sure. Moving outside with the ‘sheets’, I didn’t see any place to actually hang them, so I just laid them over the outcropping. ”Hey! Hey you!” a pony around the corner of the building wispered to me, ”come on, we could use your help.” If i was smart, i wouldn’t trust a random pony from the shady part of the building, but I don’t care much for plus i can see the pony’s rainbow mane. So The Rainbow Dash requires my help. So quickly walking back there, I saw Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. “Ah... so you actually came.” Rainbow said. ”Yeah, why wouldn’t 6rU1oS follow a shady looking pony behind a building.” “Ehhh... ok sure. But you did came!” ”Yeah ok.” “O-ok... tha-anks for coming, y-you’re the f-f-firs-st pony th-that came out of the t-town ha-all since T-Trixie arrived.” Fluttershy said in her small voice. ”Ah yes, 6rU1oS as much when I walked in, I never seen anyo-pony else leave, though 6rU1oS wasn’t there for long. I’m was tasked with hanging sheets outside to celebrate ThE GrEaT AnD PoWeRfUlL TrIxIe’s defeating the horrible Twilight Sparkle.” “Yes whatever.” Dash rolled her eyes, “we need you to gather the other three, I believe you know who they are.” ”TRIXIE REQUEST THAT YOU COME BACK INSIDE!” ”Ok well, look like I must return to Trixie, but I will inform the others to meet you at the Library.” “O-oh... I wan-n-nted them to come to my h-house, b-but ok. The library’ s good too.” "Just get back to Trixe... Grutos...weird name but ok, and don't forget to tell them." Rainbow said. "6rU1oS will remember that. Bye you two." So Trixie has fallen asleep on her makeshift sleigh. Everypony that was in are now quietly going outside. And Pinkie, Rarity, and Applejack heading there way over to the Library.The only ones still inside was me, Snips, Snails, and of course Trixie. Since we were the only ones still there, me and the duo had a little conversation. Just then, we heard a snort coming from the body of Trixie, and from that we could tell that The All Powerful has awoken. "Who?" Trixie awaken to see an empty Town Hall except for three. "Hmph at least I got three, loyal followers." "Of course Trixie!" Snips said. "Yeah! We would never leave you!" Snails said as well. Trixie snarled at the non-use of her title, the two quickly corrected themselves. "Now come with me, there's something going on at the magic force field and Trixie intends to punish them!" Trixie said, her dark red magic moving us and her wooden sleigh outside. Snips and Snails tied to the sleigh and I was on the seat next to her. "Now onwards you two we need to get there post haste!" At the dome, there was the three beavers whacking their tails against the dome with the log Fluttershy is in next to them. "Stop! You there!" Trixie said, the beavers turning to Trixie, "What are you doing?!" The beavers gestured to the log beside them then to the dome. "Fine." Trixie rolls her eyes and lifted the dome a little just enough for the beavers to drag the Fluttershy invested log outside. The dome landed back on the ground afterwards. The sleigh was now a golden bed. "Gah, why is she so mean to us?" Snails asked. "Yeah! I miss the days when she was just a fraud!" Snips said. They were both whiped for their transgression. Later we arrived back at the end of the dome with Twilight and Zecora on the other side. "I know about the Alicorn Amulet. I know you cheated." Twilight said, she was muffled due to the dome. "Cheated? Moi? No." Trixie denied. "Yes. And I thought you might wanna see what a real magical amulet looks like" the door stopper around her neck, "Zecora gave it to me. It's from beyond the Everfree Forest, and it's way more powerful than your measly little Alicorn Amulet!" Trixie scoffs at this claim. "Ha! Nothing's more powerful than the Alicorn Amulet! And nopony's more powerful than the Great and Powerful Trixie!" "Care to put your amulet where your mouth is?" Twilight proposes, "How about another duel?" "Why should I? I already beat you." Trixie laughs. "That's up to you~ But I guess you'll never see the totally awesome magic from beyond the Everfree Forest. Come on, Zecora." The two turned around and headed back in the direction of the forest. And so Trixie accepts and now we are back at the center of town. For the first spell, "Let's start with a simple age spell, shall we?" Trixie proposed. "Let's." Twilight agreed. Trixie nods, calling over Snips and Snails. The two colts were struck and in their place were baby versions of themselves. "An oldie, but a goodie," Trixie laughs, "Now, let's see what your little charm can do." "No problem." Twilight called Applejack and Rarity. They were zapped and a smoke cloud appeared over them, and when it cleared, Applejack was an old mare and Rarity was a foal. "Oh, ho-hum. So you can do an age spell, big deal." Then Applejack was a foal and Rarity was an old mare. "That's... That's impossible!" "That's nothing!" Twilight bosted. Twilight then duplicated Rainbow Dash. And gives Pinkie ten different instruments which she begins playing. "Ooh, one more. I can turn a mare into a stallion." She did, Applejack was now a stallion. Trixie was defeated. "Well, Trixie, looks like my amulet is more powerful than yours..." Twilight's necklace was no longer around her neck, "Hey! Give it back!" "With this amulet, I shall now rule all of Equestria!" Trixie laughs evilly. The Alicorn Amulet no longer around her neck, the door stopper on a chain now hooked to her neck. Just as The Alicorn Amulet was off her, it was then in the hooves of Rainbow. Trixie shot a blast of agony at her which only caused Rainbow to kneel-over in laughter. Twilight explained that her new amulet was only a doorstop from Zecora's hut. So now, Twilight saved the day and Trixie was shamed for this whole ordeal. Later, the magic show by Twilight has ended. Trixie apologized and all was good. Until... Walking to Twilight, I saw Celesta also with them. "But enough of that, Come Twilight," Celesta said, "we have much... oh." She turned around to immediately see me. "Hello there 'My Little Pony' I hoped you enjoyed this as much as I have." "Yes quite 6rU1oS enjoyed it very much." "Wait," Twilight said getting closer to me, "I don't think I've seen you her before, only untill I saw you with Trixie." "Yes, I arrived here yesterday." "Wasn’t that when Harbringer...” Twilight said, “Oh yes, Harbringer... Speaking oh him, where is he?” Celesta asked. Twilight flinched. “O-oh well, after me and the girls arrived back here, we discussed about his actions about the changlings and... well i think we told you about it?” “Yes, but you never told me what happened next.” “Well, we may have fired the Beam of Harmony at him and...” we could see the eyes of Celesta furrow, “we couldn’t find him but we did find a dragon named Ogard criticaly injured.” “And?” Celesta asked. “The dragon died in the hospital.” Celesta nodded. “So let me get this, you fired a beam of harmony at a colt born with black magic, you missed, and hit a bystander and he died because of you?” Twilight nodded. “Hmm... When you have time, i want you and the others to come to the castle, i will get Shining Armor and Cadence there as well so you can tell them what you did. Understand.” Celesta said all of this in a cold voice. “Yes, your highness.” > Wait a second... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- What was today again? Huuuuuhh... well... three days ago there was the camping trip the crusaders and their sisters had, and that was the ‘Sleepless in Ponyville’ episode. I wasn’t invited and that episode was boring to me so I didn’t go. ‘Wonderbolt Academy’ hasn’t happened yet, so it should, happen soon? I was having a walk through Ponyville when I saw Twilight and the others (Spike absent, again) underneath a cloud, so it was dark there. “DON'T FORGET TO WRITE!!!“... ouch... my ears. I can only imagine that was Pinkie Pie. I saw the rainbow wave coming from Rainbow trail all the way to the giant cloud in the distance which that I can only say it’s Cloudsdale. Let’s see what’s this is. I disappear. “Would you like explain yourself of what you’re even doing up here?” I was now in the office of Spitfire. And she did not look particularly happy. So apparently during the teleport, I messed up the local bit and ended up crashing down on Spitfire. ”Well...let’s say I messed up my teleport to Rainbow’s locker.” “Ahh... the new rookie. Apparently she has, many ponies that support her.” Spitfire said, “earlier, before Rainbow even showed up, I opened this drawer and the head of an overly pink pony popped out and started talking about Rainbow, calling her ‘Dashie’.” ”Yes, but please, ignore Pinkie and all she does.” “I will note it for further interactions.” There was a knock on the door. “You may enter.” Spitfire said. The door opened to reveal Soarin. “Ma’am!” He salutes, “the new recruits are all here and currently waiting for you at the field.” “Really?” Spitfire’s glasses slid down her face and revealed her eyes as she looked to the clock hung on the wall behind her, “That’s an Academy Record. They must be really eager. Thanks Soarin, you may go.” Soarin salutes again a quickly returned from where he came, closing the door behind him. “Now, I would like to continue this, but I must get to the rookies. You are free to go and do whatever as long as it’s not here or in my academy.” ”Fine. Whatever you say ma’am.” “Now leave, I have new recruits to train.” Spitfire said, “we have many newbies including the formentioned Rainbow Dash.” ”Of course.” So with that being that, I disappeared from her view. And no, I didn’t teleport, I simply became invisible. Magic is easy. I like magic... it’s fun. Spitfire didn’t know the difference for her being a pegasus, she left for her team, with me following behind. We were at the field and i’m beside the tarp covering the Dizzatron, Lightning Dust has just challenged Spitfire and here they are on their 500 laps. Nothing to report here. Moving on. “The Wonderbolts are the fastest, best precision flyers in the world. But spin-outs can still happen. And when they do, a Wonderbolt must be able to recover quickly. This...” Spitfire said, the pony beside her revealing the Dizzitron, “is the Dizzitron. It's gonna make you very – I repeat – very dizzy. Your task is to try and recover and fly straight again, as soon as possible. Once you have recovered you must come in for a smooth landing. Now, who's first?” She points to Meadow Flower “You. You're up.” “Me?” Meadow gulps. She looks overly uncomfortable with being strapped into it. “Now!” Meadow quickly strapped in. The Dizzitron came alive, Meadow was flung out after 12 seconds of spinning. A couple of dizzy barrel rolls later and she was on the ground wanting to vomit. Hmm... I wonder if I gone in as Black Harbringer to try... probably pretty bad since I only flew a few times and not doing stunts, just flying. Anyway, I was thinking so much everypony were walking/flying inside academy building. Oops. Inside, everypony are splitting off to go to their dorm areas, and for reasons that are obvious, Rainbow Dash And Lightning Dust are roommates here. The dorm was quite nice, better than my actual room in my past house, the Wonderbolts really spoil their team with living customs. “Ahhg, My wing,” Lighting said, stretching her wing, “I wasn’t even able to stretch my wings before.” “Yeah!" Rainbow said, "But it was nothing too awful. Ok, top bunk, or bottom bunk?" They then surprisingly played a game of checkers, never thought I see the day that Rainbow, or Lighting Dust play checkers. The two speed-demons then finally decided to go to bed. I'll head into the closet and hide so i can also sleep. It can't be that bad. So I was caught... should have known. Rainbow recognized me as the pony that helped them during the Trixie takeover four days ago, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. And since it was time for morning routine, they had no choice but to let me tag along. We got to the place Spitfire instructed them to be, which was strange... wasn't there supposed to be the whole lead pony\wing pony thing before this? And the capture the flag thing as well? We must be at the obstacle course hence the trumpet pony doing his thing. "Today we'll be doing our famous air obstacle course." Spitfire said, everypony besides me, getting to attention, her eyes lock onto me. "What in Celestia's name are you doing here again?! Didn't I tell you to get off this academy?" "Well surely you didn't think I was just gonna leave when there's something that can quell my bordness?" Spitfire and the rest all just stared before Spitfire just return to her speech, "The object of this exercise is to work on your precision flying under extreme circumstances. And don't worry about winning. It's not a race." Oh Rainbow and Lighting would beg to differ, "Now everypony, get on your marks!" She blew the whistle and the flyers all launched off and into the air. **********Nothing else to report.********** So I guess now is the time for the tornado. It was confirmed when I saw the duo stop moving longitudinally and instead rotating in circles. Which then formed the tornado. And then, the Friendship balloon appeared. Things played out how they supposed to and everything was fine in the end. ...... What was I doing again? ...... ...... Heh... strange. ... ... ... "This is not working for me..." Why have I... Hmmm... ehhh... Nahh must be my own self. I noticed that the texture of the clouds was no longer underneath me. I must be falling. Why am I so calm about it? Why am I just letting it happen? The ground came hard and fast. I laid there for what felt like hours, but it was only a couple of minutes, before I was found and taken to the hospital, well, what was left of me to the hospital, i am missing my two back legs, my horn has been split in two while still being connected to my head. I couldn’t be saved. They tried... oh they tried. > ...why...why am I so... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It may be apparent that i now have anger issues, if the Pinkie Pie that i have pinnied to the wall in my dark red aura has anything to say about it. Her eyes wide with tears running down her face, and her barrel a little bloody. ”Do you FINALLY understand?! You are not wanted! Nopony ‘actually’ likes you you are just a worthless pony!” As you can tell, there is clear malice in my voice. Pinkie frantically nodded and i let her fall to the ground as she went unconscious. I smile, but then I realized just what i have done. ”Wait no! Nonono. Pinkie!” “What about Pink... what the fuck happened here?!” From the door of the closed bakery, came the rainbow pegasus Rainbow Dash. She came over. “What h-happened here?” She looked over at me. ”I-I-I didn’t meen... I didn’t...” “Ok look, you can explain after we get her to the hospital.” She said, scooping the unconscious and bloody pink pony in her hooves. I nod. When the doctors and nurses saw who we had brought in, they immediately setted her on a stretcher. During that, I explained to Rainbow of what happened at that bakery. “How could you!” She yelled, “You almost killed her!” I frown. ”Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was normal for ponies to try a get me to be their friend by shootong a literal firecracker in my damnface!” “Ohhh~ now you’re getting snipy with me huh?!” We continue to stare at one another before Rainbow was called in. There was a mirror on the wall infront of me. No longer was I GrUToS, I was now ‘ReBliss Serenity‘ last name is totally ironic as seen before. I was unicorn again, my coat, mane, and tail was the deep shade crimson, with two streaks of sapphire running down along it. I was in the for of a young teenager, no more around 14. The other four of the Main 6 came in, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and bringing up the rear, Twilight Sparkle. “I got the message from the doctors!” Twilight said frantically, “where are they?” I point over to the door beside the mirror. They nod before galloping to the door before a nurse stopped them. “I’m sorry, only three ponies are permitted entry at this time.” he said. They argued, oh~ they argued. But he didn’t sway. Fluttershy and Rarity were lefted outside... with me. We sat there, unspeaking. Even Rarity was quite, the first pony to talk was actually Fluttershy. “S-s-so umm... what’s your n-name?” ”ReBliss... ReBliss Serenity...” “Ahh~ such a delightful name darling!” Rarity said. “And your coat as well~, when we get Pinkie you must come with me to the boutique! A mare for your sature must be fitted!” ”...Fine.” from the tone of my voice, Rarity could tell that i will not actually be going. “You know darling, you don’t have to lie and say you will if you aren’t actually going.” ”I...” “Hellooo~ Fluttershy!” I openly groan. The embodiment of Choas is here. “Sorry I’m late, i noticed a lack of ponies for my dinner party~.” “O-oh sorry Discord.” Fluttershy said, “Pinkie Pie is in c-c-critical c-care.” Oh... I need to try and hold myself next time. Discord then saw me. “Oh ho~! And here is this pony?~” “H-her name i-is ReBliss Serenity,” Fluttershy said, “and she...” “Ooh.” I felt an itching in my mane, He must’ve done something. “Its an honor to meet another ‘friend’.” I don’t like him. I am getting mad. And from his smirking face, he knows it. “My name is Discord, Lord of Chaos! And in the spirit of Friendship, I invite you to the dinner party that has been postponed.” I nod. The day continued. I actually went to Rarity’s. My ... dress... will be completed and ready for me to get tomorrow. Ugh... why did I become a mare this time. I even accepted Discord’s ‘party’ invitation. Discord opened the door before I knocked. He was wearing a suit. “So glad you can join us ReBliss! Please, come in.” I walked in and saw the six and Spike, Pinkie looked like she wanted to leave and Rainbow was comforting her. “Don’t let the door hit you on the way in.” The door swung closed, hitting me. “Oh dear.” he laughed, “anyway, you made it just in time!” “Just in time for what Discord?” “Oh! Just in time for the...” he snapped his talons and I was sitting in a chair. “...dessert!” The living utensils place chocolate cake, cotton candy, glasses of chocolate milk, and more. “Oh, look, everypony, dancing candles!” Discord laughed as the candles ‘danced’. The flames went out as Rainbow landed on the table, “I'm not falling for that! Discord's just trying to distract us from–” the candles retaliated and started poking her. “Hey! Knock it off! I suppose that's another ‘mistake’?” “No, I think you just made them mad.” Discord stifled a laugh. “There's something fishy going on.” Twilight said. The soup tureen spitted soup on her. Any other time, I would also be laughing, but i’m not. Things kept going wrong till Angel appeared from nowhere telling us that Sweet Apple Acres is flooding so we all went over to see that Indeed Sweet Apple Acres is flooding. Fluttershy talked to the beavers which sweared at her in beaver. Fluttershy asked Discord to fix it. “Oh, yes, very well, I will fix it. I only ask one thing in return.” Discord said. “I ask that you never use your Element of Harmony against me. As a sign of our friendship.” “I will never use my Element of Harmony against you.” Fluttershy took the Element of Kindness off her neck and threw it to Spike. The others disagreed with her actions but she stayed firm. I frown. “Oh~? Is somepony not happy?” Discord asked picking me up in his paw.. Don’t get angry. “Aww come on, don’t be sad. Look at this!” He showed me the icy scape of the apple orchard. “Its so wonderful!” Stay calm. “After all, you should love it.” Should? Should?! “Ahh~ the chaos happening, isn’t it wonde-“ he didn’t get to complete the sentence as I somehow grabbed him by his goatee with my hoof and dragged him to the ground. I don’t know what I said, but it got him laughing. That laugh... that stupid laugh. I hate it. He looked into my eyes, and stopped laughing. “Ohh~ aren’t you feisty. “Clam down we both know you can’t actually do anything. So let me go and I’ll fogot about this. We will all have a...” When I came to, i was standing over a battered and bloody draconequus. How was I able to hurt a creature of chaos? Discord was missing some parts. He was midsing some claws, his dragon wing was no longer connected, his deer antler was stabbed into his other wing. I’m sure he’s fine. I looked around to see Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Apple Bloom, Princess Celestia and Luna all standing there in shock. What did I do? > ...mad? Take 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some things... can happen that are out of hoof. So now I’m in the Canterlot dungeon, as per the “unjustified” violence against a being under the protection of the Elements of Harmony and the Princessess. I heard the Hooves on a pony walking down the grimy stairs. I mean, I know all whose down here are prisoners, but they could at least clean the entrance. I’m getting off topic. ”Prisoner Bliss! Step forward!”. Called the booming voice of the dark princess. The cell door opened by the force of her magic. The princess was in front of the stairs out of this place. “Good. Now come, we have much to do.” Something about the silence of everything seemed to calm me down. No talking, no loud sounds, and no laughing.. But the moment had to be ruined, the sound of talking, from the room in front of us. The door was a grand looking door, gold everywhere in its design, tall as well. Luna opened the door to the royal dining room, Princess Celestia on her throne talking to her advisers. I don’t know about what, and I don’t really care. Celestia caught sight of us and motioned her advisers away. “Ahh Luna and... ReBliss? Was it? Thank you for joining us.” “Agreed sister, and now that I have brought the prisoner with me, we can begin.” Luna said. “Now we all know why you’re here... so don’t try to play it off as if you don’t.” I would laugh at that but, I don’t like the sound of laughter. No wait... I can tolerate it. “Why would I play it off? I know what I did. I wiped that stupid smug look off his face! That stupid smile, that stupid laugh! If I must, I’d say I did you a favor showing Discord his place!” “ReBliss... If we were back in the ‘Pre-Nightmare Moon’ age, you would be praised,” Luna states, “but, we are not then.” “Speaking of then, I actually remember a Bliss Serene,” Celestia laughed, it made my blood boil, “wasn’t she a part of your guards Lulu?” “Hmm... now that thee mention it,” Luna frowned, “Yes. She always was quick to anger but was well respected.” Celestia nodded. Great, so ReBliss Serenity is already a pony, well, as I different name as Bliss Serene, they could be the same. “But the time for reminiscing is over!” Luna yelled, “we have the now to talk about!” Celesta nodded, “Indeed, we have much to talk about ReBliss. So Miss. ReBliss, you seem to be very aggressive, and you took it out on both Miss. Pie and Discord.” ”Well... what can I say? Pinkie got on my nerves, and Discord, I just hate him." "Ahh... I bet they wouldn't like that." ”Why should I care? Why do you care?! He had it coming! That stupid smile, that mocking laugh, All I wanted was a little piece and quiet!" "Ok ReBliss, calm down," Celestia said, she calmly pressing some sort of button on her throne. "We could talk about this like ponies..." "Fucking SHUT UP! That's why I hate ponies sometimes. They are too kind!" I growl. "Nnng... I'm not the only pony that was pissed off by your pacifistness! My only friend, Drago Harbringer! He died because you failed to stop to stop Discord quickly the first time! Instead of actually doing anything... you waited, you hesitated... you... you...No..." "ReBliss!" Luna yelled in the Royal Voice, "Calm thyself!" "Yes..."I gulp. "Calm. Heheh... Of course..." "ReBliss. We are going tp take a break and recollect ourselves." Celestia said, "Are you ok with that?" "Yes... Yes I Am" "Good. Guards, take her back to her cell." I can feel myself slip away. feels... good. I can feel the souls of others as I meditate. Feels calming surrounded by the auras of others, I sigh. I am in peace. Laughter sounds from the nearby cell beside me. I am furious, my meditation is ruined and so has my day. Just go back to it. Ignore them and whatever they find funny. Its so loud... Calm. I can deal with them later. “You four! Out!” A guard called to the cell next to me. Four other guards who looks to be lunar ones all walked out clutching their stomachs from laughing. The nerve. Just to get me mad. Of all the lowdown dirty... "Uhgg... Heh... well...This can only go, One Way... One Way..." Wow... I knew they were bad but I didn’t know it was like this. I need to leave. I can’t take it here. They are messing with me, I know it... I’m hearing laughing everywhere. The sound of a party in the distance as well. Why is there a party going on Now of all times? What’s this party about anyway?! There was a bang on the jail bars, must be to get my attention. “Hey! You done having an existential crisis? We are going to try again on your talk with the princesses. Break is over... ”Yes... fine...” “Come...” Not much I want to say about this. But every now and then, I do see a weird looking creature in the corner of my eyes. It looks like I should know it. It makes me feel weird. Must be the unicorns or Celesta and Luna fucking with me. It was more common that I saw it during the court of Discord. The ‘creature’ looked as if it was happy. It frightens me. "Welcome back ReBliss... I hope you are now rested and..." "Yes I am Celestia..." "Good good..." Celestia sighed, "By the way Bliss... I noticed that you looked troubled when you walked in... you ok?" "Yes... I'm fine..." "Good Miss Serenity... let us begin." I was sentenced to life in prison for Atempted Murder, not like I will be staying in for that long. Hmm... “Sister? Do you think its a good idea to keep somepony that dangerous in the castle?” Luna asked, a face of worry plastered on her face, “if she is able to damage Discord’s body... if she where to get loose...” “Don’t worry dear Sister. I’ve got this all under control.” “I sure hope you do. Last time something like this happened, the result was so bad we had to purge it from the records.” “I do know that.” Celesta said, her eyes becoming glossy, “I was the one who purged it. I know first hoof how bad it was. But that was the past, and we had more important things to worry about.” Luna nodded. “Yes, indeed...” I ran, dodged, hurt...killed, my way through the palace. Chrysalis was right, these idiots could use some training.... if they didn’t already die. Hmm... If only... no! What am I saying? I slowly slow down into a stride, me contemplating what is actually going on. So... yes... I felt a hand on my head, which is weird for humans are not a thing here. But nevertheless I stop and turn around to see a human. Male, not that tall, about 5”9 , red hair with blue eyes, just smiling, it was a comforting smile. But, a part of me was absolutely terrified. His smile was comforting, I was pretty pretty contempt with with just staying here, I liked it... but... I didn't. “N-n-nonono! Please! It w-wasn't m-m-my fault..." ReBliss said, she took a step back, “I can d-do better! You believe me right?” The question felt as if it was directed to me. “I— ...!!” The spear tasted of copper and gold. The spear as I could see was very long as it came from my mouth. The human simply disappeared, dematerilizing from my view. The spear retracted from my skull, leaving me no outside reinforcements to hold onto. I tried to hold on... but I couldn't. Being weak from bloodloss, I collapse, and here I am, stunned beyond anything, in my own blood on the ground. I just layed there. The princesses came to me including the newly crowned Twilight Sparkle, I let them, not that I could do anything. The princesses gave a spill of how this could have been avoided and so, not that I could hear much, as I was bleeding out. I think I could see my brain, or what remained of it, as well... cool. This was fun. > ...mad? Take 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So now I’m in the Canterlot dungeon, as per the “unjustified” violence against a being under the protection of the Elements of Harmony and the Princessess. Bleh. “Prisoner!” Called a voice. “You are being called before me, Princess Luna.” The jail door was surrounded in her dark aura which srung opened the gate. Three guards came up to me and grabbed the chains along my four-legs. Up the stairs I go and at the top of the stairs is the Princess of the Night, Luna. “Good. Now come, we have much to do.” Something about the silence of everything seemed to calm me down. No talking, no loud sounds, and no laughing.... I could never understand what’s so funny all the time. But the moment had to be ruined, the sound of talking, from the room in front of us. The door was a grand looking door, gold everywhere in its design, tall as well. Luna opened the door to the royal dining room, Princess Celestia on her throne talking to her advisers. I don’t know about what, and I don’t really care. Celestia caught sight of us and motioned her advisers away. “Ahh Luna and... ReBliss? Was it? Thank you for joining us.” “Agreed sister, and now that I have brought the prisoner with me, we can begin.” Luna said. “Now we all know why you’re here... so don’t try to play it off as if you don’t.” I would laugh at that but, I don’t like the sound of laughter. No wait... I can tolerate it. “Why would I play it off? I know what I did. I wiped that stupid smug look off his face! That stupid smile, that stupid laugh! I’m glad I almost killed him.” “Thou reminds me of a Bliss Serene from before my time as Nightmare Moon.” Luna said, her reminiscing, “She always was quick to anger but was well respected.” Yeah...” that reminds me,” Celesta said, our attention called, “I remember a Harbringer back then too... he was a strange one. He was sentenced to jail for life.” I frown. So my, ‘original characters’ were ponies that were already a thing. And my OG OC was a criminal. Well...so is ReBliss now as well. “But the time for reminiscing is over!” Luna yelled, “we have the now to talk about!” Celesta nodded, “Indeed, we have much to talk about ReBliss. Come.” So we walked throughout the castle, Celesta making small talk and Luna being grumpy. She must be tired. Hahah! Ohh so am I. “So ReBliss... now that we are at the royal chamber,” Celesta said, the door to the chamber, “do you have anything to say before we begin?” I had to think, say about what? Discord? That creature?! ”All I really want is that I don’t really care about Discord.” “Ahh... i bet he wouldn’t like that.” ”Why should I care? Why do you care?! He had it coming!” I growl. ”That stupid smile, that mocking laugh, All I wanted was a little piece and quiet! All of this, I love, Ohh~ how I love seeing the one’s who are above themselves get put in there place! heh. Heheh! Hahahah!” I’m going crazy. I might already be. Is that a bad thing? It can’t be... right? I am laughing like I’m crazy. I felt myself being tackled to the ground, it hurt... a lot. I am being dragged away. I’m being taken to where I don’t... nonono! Calm down! Calm, down. Don’t... it’ll be ok. I can feel myself slip away. feels... good. I can feel the souls of others as I meditate. Feels calming surrounded by the auras of others, I sigh. I am in peace. Laughter sounds from the nearby cell beside me. I am furious, my meditation is ruined and so has my day. Just go back to it. Ignore them and whatever they find funny. Its so loud... Calm. I can deal with them later. “You four! Out!” A guard called to the cell next to me. Four other guards who looks to be lunar ones all walked out clutching their stomachs from laughing. The nerve. Just to get me mad. Of all the lowdown dirty... Wow... I knew they uwere bad but I didn’t know it was like this. I need to leave. I can’t take it here. They are messing with me, I know it...

Male, not that tall, about 5”7 , red hair with blue eyes, just staring. A part of me was absolutely terrified. “N-n-nonono! Please! I-I-I didn’t mean to!” ReBliss said, she took a step back, “I can d-do better! You believe me right?” The question felt as if it was directed to me. “I— ARGGH!” The spear tasted of copper and gold. The spear as I could see was very long as it came from my mouth. The human simply disappeared, dematerilizing from my view.

This was fun. > Blue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Aww... c'mon Twilight..." The purple pony princess held firm. “Miss Breeze... you barged in on me while I’m sorting the books causing Spike to burn them.” Twilight said, writing a letter to Celestia to ask if she has any replacements, “and now I have to... get more, but I doubt she actually does and..." ”C’mon Twi! Get your head out of those dusty book~! Celestia gave you a reason to be her other then study.” “That’s Princess Celestia to you.” Twilight said, "And don't use her saying against me!" ”I call princess Sunbutt what I want. Twilight Flopple.” Twilight pouts at the names. “Flopple?” ”Indeed Twi!” This wolf pup, reminds me of Pinkie, I better keep these two away from each other, don’t want the universe to implode. She just keeps going on and on. “C’mon Twilight! Let’s do something!” Breeze said. “I got fun things planned!” “If I say yes would you stop annoying me?” I asked. “Of course!” She smiled. There’s something off, about that smile of hers. I... can’t really place it. It’s... just... I shiver. “O-Ok ok. Fine. Let’s go.” “Good,” she giggled, “I would have hated to do my job~” So I got her out without having to burn anything. ... I like fire... it... burns. Neh. Fire... ”C’mon Twilight! Pinkie Pie said she wanted our help!” I like Pinkie Pie, I like the kitchen as well, many things in there. Why am I fascinated by these things? “Thanks Breezie,” Pinkie said as soon as I opened the kitchen door, “So twilight, did she have to threaten your books to come here?” “Mmh.. not really. She did say that I avoided her doing something ‘drastic’.” “I’ll take that as a yes!” Pinkie was stirring something in the bowl in front of her. “Pinkie?” I asked, “who is this Blue Breeze?” Pinkie looked up from her bowl to Breeze who is now admiring the knives over in the corner. Uhhh... “Its pretty.” “I... don’t actually know.” Pinkie stated, “she just quite literally appeared in one of the bowls of chocolate I keep stored here. We hit it off and became quick friends! We have a fun party planned for later!” “Of course you did. She just... worries me.” “Why?” Pinkie asked. I looked back over to Breeze who were now comparing two knives “Too long... not sharp.” “Oh... I see your point...” I like knives as well... they come in all different forms. Different colors, long, small, sharp, dull. Wow. I’m not weird! You’re weird! Stop patronizing me! Wait, nono. Sorry ‘bout that. I have no idea what Twilight and Pinkie were talking about but it sounds like fun! ”Guys! What’cha talking about?” “Oh uhh nothing Breeze.” Twi stammered. “We were talking about baking ingredients!” ”Oh! Ok! I’ll leave it to ya!” “Thanks Breezie!” “She fun but,” Pinkie lout at the wolf who sat four-legged by the knives. “I have to admit, strange...” “Really?” I asked surprised. “You, out of all ponies say that?” “Just look at her.” Pinkie said. Breeze was just sitting, smiling, not condemning her life of misery. She’s just... admiring the shop. “What about her?” Just then, she stopped all movements, her face deadpans, turns sour, and scared, its weird, for the few minutes I knew her, I can tell its be weird for her not to smile. I just realized... throughout all this, I am the unwanted. Just sitting on the sidelines. No! It can’t be happening! Not again! ”You sure you don’t need anything? Please? Some chocolate some, some flour? Or a nice hoof rub? A-anything?” “N-no. Breeze.” Twilight said. ”Nothing?! “Sorry Breeze.” Twilight said again, apologetic. It can’t be. ”Pinkie?” She shook her head sadly, “Sorry Breeze.” ”Oh. Ok. Sure.” Please. Why is it always like this? I am always unwanted. Bliss was right. I was NEVER wanted. Not even the ponies who adopted me even wanted me. Turned me into... this. No. The were doing what they knew was right! Just, something went wrong. Harbringer... why did you convince them to continue even though it was going bad? “Breeze? You ok?” Twilight asked, getting closer. I smile. “Of course Twilight. I can tell I’m not needed or wanted here. So I’ll just leave.” I quickly left the building. Shutting the the door behind me. Leaning against the door I slid down it. My paws on my face. Tears trying to escape my clutches. No! Shut up! I quickly reached into my fur pocket, that I somehow have, I pulled out a little capsule of even smaller capsules. I never wanted to use them again but, we are at an impasse. I sighed. Lets just do this already. Applejack is walking through the farmer’s market hummimg ‘Appled to the core’ when she was interrupted by a small wolf askings things. ‘Poor girl.’ Applejack thought. She wanted desperately something to do. And Applejack wouldn’t be caught dead saying no to some creature who so desperately wanted to do something. “Ok Sugarcube, Ah might have somethin’ for ya to do.” That wasn’t the answer the little wolf was expecting. “You... do? Wow! The name’s Breeze. Blue Breeze! And I’m glad to help ma’am!” “Please, none o’ this ma’am stuff. Call me Applejack. Ah’m not old nuff to be a ma’am yet.” ”Ok Miss Applejack.” Breeze said. “Please? You must have something else?” “Nope. Ah’m sorry miss Breeze, but ya ‘ready done all of my task for me and Ah just don’t have anymore left.” I said. This poor wolf. I can only guess what goes on. “...Welp! Thats ok!” Breeze said, her attitude completely changed from sad, “I always got things to do around my home!” With that, she skipped away into the direction of the Everfree. I should follow her... but... I do have my own home to go to... “Fine. I’ll go.” How far as I gone in this consorn forest? It feels as if I’ve been moving for hours. “Yo Apple! What are you doing in this forest?” “Dang nabbit Rainbow! Ah’m tryin to be sneaky!” The rainbow offender looked confused. “Why?” She asked. “Aww~ are you two talking about me?” We both looked over to Breeze, the wolf smiling as wide as ever. “That’s great! I need someponies here for a surprise I’m getting ready for. Come on!” She ran ahead. The two although didn’t see Breeze enter, they were sure this old house did not belong to anypony. Rainbow knock. “Don’t come in yet!” Breeze called. “Rainbow? Care to tell me what were ya doin’ in the middle of this here forest?” “Well, the weather factory is running low on storm clouds and are also running low on ingredients for them as well,” Rainbow explains, “I was here getting the clouds when I saw you being ... ‘sneaky’” “Oh..” After that Rainbow stepped back to look at the tree that Blue Breeze calls her home. It was a weird looking tree. It was big, yes, just a little bigger then the old library that used to be in Ponyville, this tree, while The Golden Oaks was ‘pristine, this was bent in several directions. The limbs of the tree stretched far beyond the trunk. Dash couldn’t quite make it out but, it reminds her of a certain tree that caused a lot of...’problems’ for some certain of feelings. This tree had a past “Ahh... Miss Applejack and Rainbow,” Called a voice that used rhymes, “not that I judge you, but this is not a place to wander to n’ frow.” “Oh, howdy Zecora, yes well, we have a new ‘pony’ well she’s not a pony, she’s actually a wolf, but ta this is where she apparently lives.” “Here? Not a chance, this tree is filled with malice, with a heart of ice.” Zecora ryhmed. “What do you mean?” Dash asked “Surely you can smell what I’m speaking of? The blood of ponies past come through?” Suddenly, Rainbow realized the tree in front of here. The tree where ponies rom time of old were hanged for their crimes. There was what sounded to be a ruckus going on on the other side of the door the two ponies and zebra were in front of. “Ok that’s it! Ah’m going in!” Applejack yelled, getting ready to buck the door down. “But, AJ...” “Don’t ‘But AJ’ me. Ah’ goin in whether Ah am wanted tor not!” *Crunch* the door in now a pile of wood. AJ swore she would replace it for the little wolf later, but didn’t have to worry bout it for what see saw in the middle of the room. > A little force—Mini > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Yes it, comes down, to just one simple fact! They’ve crossed the line it’s time that we attack!” “I'm positively sorry Fluttershy, but I believe Applejack has made the better argument.” Rarity said “These vampire fruit bats sound downright dreadful” ”Oh hey little ponies! What kind of adventure are you going on today? And... why are ya’ll surrounding poor Fluttershy?” “Well darling, Applejack is having a little vermin problem.” ”Vem-in?” “Vermin darling.” Rarity said. “Fruit bats? Let’s get a movin’!” Applejack stamped a hoof. “Um, excuse me, but, um, what if instead of rounding them up, we... let them have part of the orchard?” Fluttershy whispers. “Have you lost your pest-lovin' mind?!” Applejack whinnied. “They are varmits! Lettin’ them stay will only cause more problems!” “B-but...” “No time! Come on!” “I'm sorry, Fluttershy, but I think Applejack is right. I just wish there was another way we could convince them not to eat them in the first place.” Then there was this look on Twilight ‘s face. “Maybe there is...!” “So, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that I found a spell that can get the vampire fruit bats to stop wanting to suck the juice from the apples.” Twilight levied a book, “But in order for the spell to work, I need the bats' full and complete attention.” “Oh n-no.” Fluttershy gasped. “I’m sorry Fluttershy,” Twilight sighed, “but I need you to do your Stare on the bats.” Ahh... the support of friends. Make you feel warm and fuzzy inside right? “Me too! Think of the cider! Won't somepony please think of the cider?!” What’s with the cider here? “But if we don't do this, there won't be any apples left for anypony here in Ponyville. Doesn't that feel wrong, too?” I love blackmail as well. Is this blackmail? I’m sure it is! Haha! All on poor Fluttershy as well~ Sniff. I feel so proud! All,we need now is the blood and guts of those vampire fruit bats. Their blood hyped up on those Sweet Apple Acre apples. Yum yum. It’s been like, a few minutes, but for the others, it was like an hour. “Hold it right there! We've gotta round up these beasts with wings first. Time's a-wastin'! Pinkie, Rarity, and Rai, you three are tasked with collecting the bats, Twilight, Flutters, you set up the bats that I bring out.” Applejack grabbed a basket of apples and tied it to Pinkie’s head, who bounced her way forward to the bats. Rarity outfitted her self with a hazmat suit. And Rainbow flew off. Applejack went to the barn with Twilight and Fluttershy in tow. Hmm... looking around, it looks like I’ve been forgotten. Oh well... I’ll follow Applejack. “I’m sorry Spike but, it wasn’t a request.” “Ok ok! I’ll send a letter to Celesta. Just please! D-don’t hurt me.” “Good. ███ ███████,, erase his memory afterwards and send him off.” “Sure sure. Heheh.” “Shut up Applejack just told me to ‘Scram’. The malicious with that one word was venomous. I smile through it. ”O-o-oh... O-k I’ll just head h-home.” I did something wrong. I don’t know what, but something I did was terrible. Nothing good comes my way, and when it does, it doesn’t stay long. I should stop. I knew Black Wind was right. She was... I loved this at first. But, now it just, pushes everypony out of the way. It only took a little force? Well if I can read, and I’m sure I can, that what it says. That’s about it. It’s strange. Welp! Enough of that! I got to get back home! My beautiful home. The Tree has a name you know? Can you guess? Neheh! Probably not! Who am I talking to? Must be the wind, whatever. My tree in is in sight. I need to replace the door soon as well. Inside was quite cozy for a tree. Everything a growing wolf needs. ‘ Gaýtadan hoş geldiňiz Breeze.’ “Oh hello bro!” I said. It wasn’t often that he appears. He is supposed be dead after all. “What brings you back here? I thought you went off to get your afterlife together?” ‘Bolýar, ýagdaýlaryňyzy barlamak üçin geldim.’ “Thanks! And well...” should I tell him? He probably already knows. But I could try. “It’s wonderful! Such nice ponies! Especially the six you told me to find!” ‘Hakykatdanam indi ~? Kelläňizdäki bu pikir başgaça aýdýar.’ “Aww~ I told you to stop using that like that!” ‘Hehe. Sen meni tanaýarsyň. Oňa seredip. Againene-de wagt gerek.’ “Wait please no! Not again! I’m begging...” *Warnings on multiple levels! *Flickering light...Drawing of Blood, bruises, and knives... Second-Person Self Hated...Mentions Of Suicide... *And Murder. *If you do not like that, then please, DON’T CLICK THE LINK!* https://youtu.be/a3iRoMPmsdg “That’s a new one.” ‘Size oňaýsyzlyk döredendigine begenýärin’ “Yeah! I feel absolutely terrible and worthless!” ‘Czy powinienem dostać nóż?’ “Yeah. You can.” I have no idea what’s wrong with the little pup. When she arrived, she took one good look at me with fear in her eyes as if I kicked her family member. I called after her but she didn’t even look back. Hmm... I will go get her later. There was a knock at the door. ”Who is it~” “It’s me... Applejack.” The voice called through the door. ‘dostuňy garaşma’ ”Hi Apples! Come in come in. Make yourself at home! “Thank ya kindly.” ”So Apples, What brings you here?” > A little harm > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Damn ponies. Burning down my tree. I never love ponies when they have a lack of care when we all have problems. ”You bitches! Come back here so I can kick your ass so hard your great grand parents will shiver!” They keep running. ”Pussies. They took my medicine as well.” I can already tell I’m gonna have a bad day. This day has went from horrible to worse. When I went to the locals, I saw a shop for medicine. But when I asked for the one I was looking for the look of shock was unpleasant. He did send me to Twilight for she might need able to ‘cook’ some up. Cook... Damn it. Now I’m hungry and “pony” sounds really good right now. “Breeze! Whatcha doing?” Pinkie called as I open the door. ”Please Pinkie, not now. Now, I would like a chocolate muffin topped with bits of bacon.” “Bacon muffin, coming up!” Pinkie disappeared to the kitchen. “Breeze? What are you doing here?” A voice from the entry door. Turning, the purple alicorn stood there. “I thought you didn’t come into town unless something was going on... is something going on that I don’t know of?” ”Nothing at all Miss Sparkle.” “‘Miss Sparkle’?” Twilight laughed, “Now I know something’s wrong. You never call me that. It’s always ‘Twilight Floppal.’” ”Fucking.... nah. Everything is fine.” “Awww c’mon Breeze~” Pinkie said with my muffin in hoof. “Don’t be sad. Turn that frown upside down!” Her hoof forcing its way into my mouth. I couldn’t remove it so, I bit down. But the pink pony removed her hoof before it touched. “Whoa there Breeze, you almost bit my hoof off!” ”That WAS the idea.”” “Breeze? You ok?” I nod. ”The medical pony said I need to go to you for my pickup. Do you got it?” “Of course I do. And, that’s what I’m here to talk to you about.” ”Then Let’s get going before I do something I regret.” "Ok dude, is this what you really want? Messing with our sister like this?" "Heh... Not at all. I didn't expect her to leave her pills just sitting there." ”Twilight... as much as I love the idea of talking to you. I simply need them to quell the urge.” “I know you mean well, but I don't need you watchin' over me! I can take care of things myself” Apple Bloom picked a rake in her mouth, it seeing the pillow on the end, “Look! Huh? Hey! Who put pillows on this rake?” AJ chuckles, “Oh, I don't know. Maybe someone who really loves her little sister and doesn't want her to get an owie?” A helmet was placed on Bloom’s head. She growls. “Oh, for the love of...!” Bloom sighs, “You've gone and baby-proofed everythin'!” “Heh, yup! Your big sister let you down once, but I promise it won't ever happen again.” “But really, I'm fine! I can take care of myself. I don't need you watchin' over me!” “Aw, that's sweet. I appreciate you tryin' to make me feel better, but don't worry. I'll always be here for you.” Another helmet was placed, “Always! ‘Oh Bloom... a little Bloom mistreated. Is that the correct word? Who cares? Not me, anyway, so Bloom, is this what you want? She says all these things but, well, who really knows.’ “We're gonna make my sister see I don't need her watchin' over me” “Stop! No time for a song!” Scootaloo covered Bloom’s mouth, “Applejack's coming!” “If you're gonna go, we've gotta get you out of here now!” “Cutie Mark Crusaders, let's do it!” Bloom jumped out the window with conveniently hay bales soften her fall. ‘This won’t work. I have another plan for you. Come here. 700 years ago. We will get along well. Chapter end.’ Without anymore words, a lime green mixed with navy blue portal which Apple Bloom hopped into without hesitation. Another Apple Bloom hopped out. > What have you done!? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I hope they can forgive me for this..." > Oh my... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ‘... Aura ubi eras?’’ ”Oh? Oh! Hi bro! What brin...” ‘Quid suus 'vestri necessitudinem cum Spike nunc?’ ”Brother~! You can’t say that! The viewers weren't supposed to know that yet~!” ‘......’ ”It’s...” I blush deeply. ”Going pretty well! But... why are you asking anyway? You of the four/five of us doesn’t care the most about anything.” ‘Cur non?’ ”Oh~ I’m so glad to hear! Neheh!” ‘Nondum habet speciem suam Tirek facere?’ ”I don’t actually know... How many days gone by since the Equestrian games again? ‘Sex diebus.’ Ahh... so by that, he should appear tomorrow.” Boom! It’s tomorrow! How’d ya feelin’? Don’t say. I can’t hear it. Anyway, I am with the Main 6, who are currently-- There was a pony in an alleyway, who for some reason levitating a bucket of oranges. The pony with a cutie mark that resembles emeralds, found a figure in a cloak. "Oh! Very sorry." the pony chuckled, "You came from out of nowhere, almost bumped into you." "'Is he friend or is he foe?' the pony wonders." the clocked figure gruffed, "I can assure you... I am no f-friend. I am Lord Tirek," the shadows' covering its face revealing Tirek. "and I will take back what should have been mine long ago." The magic from the pony flowed into Tirek. making him stronger while the pony lost his cutie mark. what sounded to be bones cracked as Tirek got bigger. "Babe~ tell me that you are doing your thing first before you actually do it. You know I don't like that sound." "O-oh... sorry honey. I'll tell you next time." Tirek said. "Ok." "But it appears that he has found a way to escape." Man that was a long story. "We believe it happened when Cerberus left his post at the gates." Luna said. "What? But that was a long time ago." "Quite. But his time in Tartarus left him very weak." Celestia said. "He has just now gained enough strength to use his dark powers. And the longer we let him roam, the stronger he becomes." "And I know just the princess who can stop him." Cadence smiled. "Yes!" Twilight's wings flared, "I will find him and--" "No. I'm afraid I must call in another." Celestia interrupts, "Discord." The others gasp. “So umm... thank you very much for coming Mrs. Wind and Mr. Scroll.” Cheerilee announced to the three ponies. The three, my mom, my dad, and me. Dad, pegasus, like me! Coat, crimson, mane midnight black, styled short. Cutie Mark of the moon with half covered in darkness. Mom, unicorn, coat, pink,(even though it doesn’t even look pink, it’s more of a dark blue, but trust me in this.) mane, light gray. Cutie Mark of what looks to be a spell book. “Why are we here?” Mom asked, “instead of being at home taking ‘care’ of Golden, we are here in this—“ “Honey, herself is Rebliss 'caring' of woman of, our take nothing to worried around.” Dad reassured Mom in his bad ponlish(english). “Prevent truth be ask, why are exactly am ‘both’ for us this place?” “Well, one of you must know..." Cheerilee seems to fidget in her seat, "ummm... Harbringer? If you may?" "Of course Cheerilee!" *CRACK* On the other side of the alley was Discord in unicorn form. "Tirek, I presume?" The pony's head shriveled to Tirek, who was disappointed in seeing the lord of chaos. "Discord. You're free?" "As a bird.~" Discord is now a bird. "I commend you on your escape." Tirek bows. Discord is no longer a bird, "I'm afraid the feeling isn't mutual." He snaps his griffin digits and there was the sound of chains coming from Tirek's hands. "Dis--cord- I'm sleeeeeepy." In a rare moment of Discord history, Discord, thou Lord of Chaos, confused. "....GrUToS?" " /watch ?" "Don't don't dearie..." Dad said, "don't this ..." "I have no idea what you're saying. And your suit sucks." "Let's dance!" " 'r'eally? 'S'o you 'd'ecided '2' gr'o'an '58' 'w'a'y's from 'I' '4' ?" "Song is well, prevent... yes." "Ahh... ok!" "You know Breeze... " "Bupupup! Come on ReBliss, you can't make this stuff up!" "Yes Breeze, I know. But that's not--" "Ohoh! I know~... How are the boys doing?" "Well... Harbringer is currently is Miss Cheerilee's office for doing... something, I don't really know what. And GrUToS is currently is with Tirek." "Co~ol." "Indeed. ... >:( ... Get this Fucking camera out of my face!" *SMACK* There is a distinct humming in the house made from a tree. "Oh! What do we have here?" "Harbringer." "Oh. heh. Hey ReBliss! Thought you were with Breeze?" "I was but two horizontal lines told me I wasn't anymore." "Oh~? So where is she now?" "Breeze is currently at home. Don't know what she's doing but..." "We get there when we get there!" "Fine fine." I log in. I can't even do anything... ever since Chrysalis made my character appear... wherever this place is, there been nothing I could do, I've been logging on everyday for a month to see if something... anything happened. I can't even play as my normal characters! Drago? Nope. Black Harbringer? Negative. GrUToS? Nay. ReBliss? Not by any means. I even made Blue Breeze and guess what? Absolutely not! I had to make a new character. A little pegasus. Coat of gold and mane/tail color of a banana skin. Her name... Golden Gild, the only one of the five to have a Cutie Mark. Hopefully I can get out soon... Hmm. sounds like Connect is almost back and almost out. Heh. But unfortunately for him, he doesn't have enough time to get back into the 'swing of things'. For this story is almost over. Next chapter? Maybe. Oh well. I hope ReBliss been treating him right. > Ǝnd oɟ ∀ɔʇ Onǝ > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So uhh... How do I begin? Heh. Well this is a little awkward. Well, I'll just start at my birth. "Congratulations Mrs. Drop and Mr. shadow, a beautiful little colt!" That little colt, is, of course, me! "What will this beauty's name be?" Giving my past-self to my mom, ahhh~ she was so much nicer back then~. I'm getting off track. "His name will be--" We are now en-route to 'a pony I don't know's’ village. The ‘M.A.P’ (Magic Apparatuscal Papyrus) didn’t send me but I stuck my middle hoof out to it in defiance and went anyway. Uhh... I don’t have my guide with me so I’ll give it back to you Harbringer. Thank you Breeze, I’ll take it for a while. “Mo~m! What’s taking so long~?” little Harbringer said, “Gild already left with dad, why can’t we go yet~?” This is true, Incase you future ponies are confused, today is the fateful day of the 'Our Town Little Killing. So you get to see all the little details I want to show you. Not the point. Mom looked at her watch, which was a painted on, “A few more seconds dear.” 10...9...8...7...6... “Ok lets go now. Enough time has gone by.” Dad and Gild wasn’t that far ahead. And... by weren’t far ahead, I mean they weren’t even ten hoofsteps out the side door. “Dad... Sis... are you kidding me?” “Not at all. Why?” Dad flexed his leg muscles. “We thought— I-I-I meant D-Dad thought it wo-would be fun to-to actually wait f-fo-for you two.” Gild stammered. “B-but I-I-I s-said...” "W-Well darling, w-we certainly didn't intend to cause any disruptions to your charming little—" "Good. Let's just make sure of that, shall we?" In the 'Cutie Mark Vault' with the cutie mark of multiple ponies, (Hey! I think I can see Harbringer's cutie mark!) [Not Important.] we are trapped. With Starlight with 'The Staff of Sameness' and the town residents to the rear. "It's a trap!" Well, not really, more of an ambush, but same context...I think. Well, either way, we wern't going anywhere, so with no choice, Twilight flew up but it gave Starlight the chance to 'un-cutie' her. Before doing the same to me and the others. I am not a pony...anymore... I do not have a cutie mark either way. So, if the mark can't be taken, it takes the closet thing to it. The life force. I think you can see the problem.
