> A Hero's Choice > by Gin_the_Fox > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Findings > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1: Findings Everything about my life, you could say is fucked up. My parents, Lucy and Mark Jenkins, are assholes. My mother is overprotective. She follows me, finds me, and i'm starting to think i have... "had" a tracker in me. She also hires people to watch me, like that helped, and don't even start on the babysitters. My father is always drunk, and always fights. Lets just say he doesn't like no. I have... "had" one friend. William Greenfield. He's nice, chatty, talented, strong. Everything a woman wants, except that i'm his friend. Most popular kid in school. Except... me. My name is Lan Hope Jenkins. Lan for short. I'm just a normal kid with some enemies and one friend. Now that I think about it that's kinda normal. Except I have a secret. The three words that turned me into the "hey look at that kid" to the "everyone point and laugh". Damn my mother. My Little Pony Its not the show I like, the fan made stuff is what is awesome. Songs to Pictures. You know. This is where it starts, so why don't i wake up. Like now would be a good tim... ~~~~~~~ (Word of author, that means a change of scenery for you newbies) "Honey wake up now." Said a familiar voice,"It's time to go to school. I got your clothes all set up with your new undies." "Yes mother, i'll get ready now." I said. Just leave me alone mother, for the love of holy mercy. ~~~~~~~ "Hey freak, want to watch some ponies DORK!" "Ah poor baby must of got his mommie to put on his clothes." "Hey want to go out, we could watch some pony porn. DWEEB!" School... ~~~~~~~ "Hey dude, lets hangout after school, we could go eat, me knowing that all you had for breakfast was some veggies." William said. "You know me to damn well, sure..." I said, in my normal depressed voice. "Wait isn't it all ready time to go?" William just smiles. ~~~~~~~ "All right mother, I will. Bye...... sorry bout that." As I close my phone, I smelt drunks and whores. "A bar?" "You got your fake I.D. on you." William said. "Yep, this baby gets me out of jail for free sometimes. Keeps me safe." I say waving it in front of him. I use the I.D. to get people away from me. Very useful for a guy like me. "Lets do this." William gave his signature smile. I hate my life. ~~~~~~~ "Darlings how have you been, haven't seen you in a while Lan." For the love of god not Sydney. She is dating my "babysitter" and also dating William. Although William and my "babysitter" don't know, she pays me 3 dollars a day to keep my mouth closed. Yes I had to bargain with her. Shes not that bright. "Hey babe!" William said. "Meh." I say while i sip my water. I rarely drink since my mother got a breath test machine. Please don't makeou... too late. I wonder whats for dinner, oh wait I know. Tap water with mac and cheese. Mother. "He ther bab, wana go to mah plac?" Said a very drunken man. "Are you talking to me?" Says Sydney, stoping from loving on William for heaven sakes yes. "Yo now it bab." "Hey there man, back off. Shes mine." William said, pissed off. "Yo wana go, fin lets -hic- go!" As then a light bulb explodes, so did the mans bottle of Gin crack on the table counter. He then thrusts a jab to William. Then drips. Blood. My blood, of the hand blocking the bottles path. Reaction, its normal. "Nobody hurts a friend. Do you comprehend my words, drunk." More blood, he had slashed and then stabbed my stomach. "NO!" William screamed. "Let's go." As I gave him 3 finger gabs into 3 different pressure points. For once, thanks dad. As the drunken man fell, so did I. It hurts to get stabbed but luckily I didn't fall on the fall, full of broken glass. William had caught me. "Thanks man, but don't ever do that again." William said. "Can't promise that, i'm good to stand." As i obviously stand. I turn to face William and Sydney. No need to watch the drunk, hes being let out by the other customers. "How about you take me to the hospital before I die." "Noew dat yo mendion die -hic-." I heard 5 shots, 3 in my chest, 2 in my head. It sucks knowing that the last thing you heard was a drunk hiccuping. ~~~~~~~ 'Wake up Lan. Its time to fulfill your destiny. I bring you to a new world, where you find happiness. But beware, corruption still follows. It is your time to go, I bid you luck, you will need it.' "WHAT THE HELL!" Ok think, you got shot but it will be ok, your safe in the hospital... full of trees, GREAT i'm in a forest. I get up, to find that I am indeed, in a freaking forest. Wait I feel different. Not a "pain bone crushing" feeling, like... my heads killing me... and my body is... WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BODY, IM ON ALL FOURS AND... "Oh for the love of god." This is the legacy of Lan Jenkins. The given hope to Equestria. And the only hope. ~~~~~~~ > Chapter 2: Directions and Falling > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2: Directions and Falling Lan had been flying to Ponyville for the last hour. He had obtained directions from a nice lady he had helped... what you want to know about that? No it's not impor... UUUGGGHHH fine... ~~~~~~~ 1 hour earlier "Hey look a village, this is perfect! Now I can see where i'm going." Lan said as he spotted a village off the horizon. Just then he saw a lady struggling with carrying water. "Hey there need any help?" "No i'm good, thank you anywa..." Just then she had fell over, lucky for her Lan caught the water jugs. "That was close, hey you ok?" "Yes, that did hurt but i'm ok. Hey i haven't seen you around here, whats your name, and what happened to your eyes?" Shit! Think fast, she can't know i'm human! Lan was a white alicorn, which was going to be hard to explain, with a purple and white mane and tail. White wings and purple eyes. His eyes were strange to the fact that they had no pupils. "It's a family condition, and to the fact that i'm a alicorn, family business. Names Lan." "I didn't question your alicorn traits!" Giggled the mare, "My name is Lily." Green mare, saw that coming. "So where are we going?" "Follow me!" ~~~~~~~ There, happy? Anyways, Lan knew he was getting close, flying does that to you, but then a felt something... "Why does it fell i'm being followed..." Thought Lan, then he turned around, "Wait... GRIFFIN!?" Lan took a quick dive, dodging the projectile griffin attack, then he shot up. Face to face to Lan's most hated character. "Well if it isn't a little alicorn. Haven't seen one of you in a while. Heading towards Ponyville? Not on my watch." Said Gilda. "WHATS YOUR PROBLEM, LEAVE ME ALONE!" Lan was now in his emotional state, which he did not like. "My problem is you." Smiled Gilda "Leave. Me. Alone. I will not be responsible for the blood that will be shed." "I knew it, just a little crybaby." Gilda had saw that Lan was starting to cry. "Need a tissue." "NO MORE!" Lan screamed as he took off, barley missing Gilda, and flew as fast as he could. "I'll be back little kid, i'll be back." Gilda plotted as she flew off. What she had planned could change life's. ~~~~~~~ "I think shes gone, I can rest now." Lan was getting tired, he hadn't done that before. Flying was difficult. It took skill to fly, which Lan had none to begin with. Lan had felt the pressure of his eyes. It was turning dark, and he needed a place to rest. Before he knew it, it felt like hell, cold hell, as he kept flying. He couldn't give up. Not now. Not ever. "If I can reach Ponyvilllllll........ NO! Not now, must stay awake. If i can get there, hopefully someone can give me a place to sleep." Hopefully. If as a light turned on, Lan had fallen asleep, mid-flight. He had no idea what trouble he had just caused, as he plummeted towards the ground. In his dream it felt like he was in Ponyville, in a nice comfy couch, guarded by his magic, protecting him from the outside world. It wasn't the same in the real world, as his magic took control. It shielded him form the possible fatal fall. Hitting the ground was like a explosion. And apples flew everywhere. > Chapter 3: Suffering > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3: Suffering "Ow,my head... did I fall asleep?" Lan had just woken up, for some reason in a crater. "Hey look apples... wait... APPLES?! I must be in Ponyville, I DID IT!" "And that's all I needed to hear." "Who's there?!" "First you come to mah farm 'n destroy mah land. Den you ask who I am? Scum." "What did I... OH NO! You got it all wrong, I wa..." "Enough" This voice sounded deeper, way deeper. "So Mac, whatcha plan'n." "This." An arm, belonging to the one and only Big Macintosh, came from the shadow and was directly heading towards Lan. Lan saw this and leaped to safety. He couldn't fly, to much pain. "What was that for?!" Applejack came from the shadow, ready to pounce. ~~~~~~~ Gilda had it all planned, from the core. She was planning to humiliate that alicorn. She didn't like people, including one that looked like he could harm... her. With all the materials set, it was time to control the pawn. ~~~~~~~ "YOU HAVE IT ALL WRONG, I SWEAR I DIDN'T MEAN TO DESTROY YOUR TREES!!! PLEASE STOP!!!" Lan was in full motion. His heart rate would turn a doctor into mush. "Nope." Mac's hoof almost struck Lan, but Lan took control, and got on Macs back. "I'm sorry, but you leave me no choice!" Lan hit Mac in the neck. Didn't work. "Well that's just flipping great." Lan continued his run. It felt like the time where his mother tried to put him in a gym, and made him run on the treadmill for 4 hours straight. Lan pondered that thought, wondering what the hell was wrong with her. Lan was now in Ponyville, he could tell. It's a lot bigger than he had expected. Wait he should be paying attention to Mac and OH SHIT LOOK OUT. "Wait... what?" Lan crashed into several gas containers, and when the metal containers collided, a shimmer of destruction appeared. Sparks. Both Mac and Applejack froze as they saw the fire start. If they didn't think fast, the whole town could be destroyed. Mac and Applejack teamed up, and while Mac found water, Applejack kicked dust into the fire. With the combined efforts, the fire shimmered down into nothing but black. They had saved the town, buckets and hay, alas, were not. "Why. Why would you do that..." Applejack whimpered. "I didn't mean too. I wasn't paying attention an..." "GET OUT!!!" Applejack was now screaming at Lan. "But I... I......... fine. I'm sorry I existed." Lan was now in full pain. He may have been made fun of, but never has he felt suck emotional pain like this. This was worse. The entire town was speechless. Neither one knew what to do. To scream at poor Lan, or to help. "I guess i'll just go... rot now. Nowhere to live anyways." Lan sunk. He wasn't trying to pull them. He had meant that. And it was true. "... TO THINK THIS WOULD WORK!!! IT ALWAYS TURNS HORRIBLY WRONG!!!" Lan was full on crying now. He's pretty damn good at hiding his emotions, but he couldn't hold it in. "... Wait. Let me he..." Applejack started. "NO, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!! LET ME DIE!!!" "But..." "NO!!!" Lan took off, flying as fast as he could. He didn't mind the pain. He just wanted to get away. "What have I done..." Applejack shed one tear. ~~~~~~~ "All i wanted to do was to start a new life, away from it all. NO, it'll will never work. I'm enemy number one. Maybe I can go live with that girl from before." Lan felt terrible, he had never made anyone so mad. 'Its ok, let out your feelings. It'll will be all over soon.' "Who's there?" 'A friend. Trust me, let go. Help has arrived.' "Wha..." "Hey there, you must be the little trouble maker Applejack said about. Well you don't look so bad. Would you come with me?" A sweet voice said, seemingly lovely. "Get away from me. I don't deserve anything." "It will be ok, my names Twilight Sparkle. I'm here to help." Lan was shell shocked, he hadn't expected that. Maybe this was the help that the voice described. Help. "Why, i'm just going to mess it all up." "Don't say that! You looked starved, let me get you something." "Please don't..." "No, I want to help. I know you didn't mean to destroy Applejack farm, and I know you didn't mean to set that fire. No one would do that." Finally. "... Your right. But I don't know. If I go back, everyone will yell at me." "No they won't." "Yes they will." "Fine, i'll just teleport us back to my house. No one will see you." "That sounds fine. Thank you for being so kind." She just smiled. "It's nice to see someone be kind to me." Lan thought, as he was just then magically in Twilight's house. ~~~~~~~ "Are you certain he is ready?" I'm more than certain, child. I have full faith in him. "But he did destroy a lot of things." Accidental. Out of all the people, I thought you would understand. "But, please. Send me. I can do the job! I've trained for this!" Don't yell at me, I told you all ready. Your job is to watch over Earth. I trained you to do that. "... Fine..." Thank you, you may now leave. "Thank you." ~~~~~~~ "I'm going after him. I will stop him. if my name isn't Malord. Ruler of darkness." "But sire, they must be another way. If you were you, I would send a scout. Find his weakness." "Hmm, maybe. Fine, send Nightwing." "... But I am Nightwing..." "OH... yes. Go and find his... what do you call it?" "Weakness?" "Yes I would like some tacos... bring me some." "... Yes sir?" ~~~~~~~ > Chapter 4: Surprises > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4: Surprises Lan wasn't stable. He was just teleported, which isn't pleasant, screamed at, and almost set the town on fire. He's body was vibrating to the point were he couldn't move. "Can you please calm down, it's ok." "S-s-sorry i'm j-j-just...." "Uuuggghhh, here have some water." Lan gulped it down in one swallow. "Thirsty?" "Y-y-yes." Just then, someone knocked on the door, which caused Lan to shake even more. "I'll get it!" Spike said. He had been there trying to comfort Lan. Owlowiscious was asleep. He was a owl, not much to care for. "Well hey there, bout time you got here." "Where is he?" Said Applejack, and with that voice Lan had shielded himself with his magic. "You must of scared him. Let me try to help." This voice belonging to Fluttershy. "Now come out of there, were not going to hurt you." "I would like to say that he isn't a animal, Fluttershy..." Rarity said. "If you need him to come out, treating like such will prove wrong." "I know but..." Fluttershy stopped. Not much to say now. "Come on! Get out of there!" Rainbow Dash started to hit the shell as if it was dough. "Hiding won't solve anything!" 'Rainbow Dash! Stop!" Applejack shouted, "That there ain't gonna solve nothing." "Maybe I should throw him a party." Who else? "Everyone likes parties." "Actually I don't really like parties, I find them uneasy to be in." The bubble spoke. Pinkie was speechless. "Well that solves that. Can you come out now." Twilight felt a little uneasy, this was going to be difficult. "... No." "UUUGGGHHH!!! He's so weird." "Look... i'm not mad at you. I was just shocked and... i'm sorry." Applejack was now shedding some tears. Just then, as the tear drops hit the ground, the bubble shell evaporated. "You mean that?" Lan said. "I do, with the bottom of my heart." "Thank you." ~~~~~~~ Gilda wasn't very good at plans. But this one had some impressive things. All she needed now was for no unexpected people to show up. The entire plan would be ruined. As she hoovered above Twilight's house, she had no idea what was about to happen. Let's start this thing. ~~~~~~~ Perfect, just as he had expected, the subject has come out of his shield. He was now vulnerable. Time to start this thing. ~~~~~~~ "My name is Lan Jen... Yes, Lan Gin." He couldn't use his real last name, it seemed to obvious. "My mother and father was... Gin makers. I had thought my life being a Gin maker was too bland, so I set off to the real world." Lan had tasted Gin before, what a weird taste it had. "So Lan, where are you staying?" "... Um, nowhere. I usually sleep outside." It was true, his father made him sleep outside, of course against his mothers will. "Well we can't have that now sugercube. How you come to the farm?" "That's nice but I can't sleep in farms. I get scared. Plus your brother is terrifying." She couldn't argue with that. Silence filled the room. "Why don't you stay with me?" Twilight said. Lan could detect faint blushing. "Sure, I mean, I like reading. Thanks, now what abo..." Lan stopped. The front door had been blown open. ~~~~~~~ "Ok, let's do this... wait... who's that guy and whats he doing?" Gilda pondered, then her expression grew from confusion to horror. ~~~~~~~ "GET BACK!!!" Lan shielded everyone from the debris. "So I finally found you, lets do this." Just then, Lan had been pulled from the house, and thrown in the streets. "Damn'it just what I need!" Lan thought, "Who are you?!" "My name is Nightwing. And i'm here to kill you." "What?!" Said Lan and the 6. "But, why? What did I d... LOOK I SAID I WAS SORRY!!! IT'S NOT LIKE I DID IT ON PURP..." Lan had felt something coming. Some force threw him in the air, and before Lan could realize what happened, a ball appeared in front of him. On cue, it had exploded. It threw Lan back, his blood now everywhere, and now he saw the seriousness of the situation. "NO!!!" Screamed Twilight. "Looks like i'm going to have fun with this." Nightwing smiled, "Time to die my little pony." Lan couldn't help but mind giggle at that, but soon his giggles turned into fear when he levitated Twilight into the air, next to her a sword made of magic. Lan took time to see the situation. Nightwing was a pegasus, black with a red mane. Lan pondered the thought how my his name was Nightwing, and stowed it in his memory. It could come in handy. "Leave Twilight alone!" Dash had said, and both Rainbow Dash and Applejack rushed in, but to be only pushed back. "Please, like that will help." "MAYBE IT WILL!!!" Lan had struck Nightwing where it hurts, and elbowed him in the face, a centimeter from his eye. "SON OF A BITCH!!!" "BACK OFF!!!" Lan had force pushed him back with all his might, sending Nightwing far away from his new friends. "Are you ok Twilight?" "I should be asking you that." "I'm fine, I can take pain. Get to safety, all of yo..." Lan was interrupted by Nightwing hitting him in the face. "Fine, let it be that way." Nightwing enveloped himself in his magic, growing wings right in front of Lan. "Come and get some." "My pleasure." Lan backed up, "Come at me bro." Nightwing knew why the boss wanted him dead with that last sentence. Lan constructed many sharp thin needles with his magic, enveloping him, protecting him. Nightwing pounced on him, minding the needles as Lan threw each one, scouting their way back to the target. "SHIT!!!" One of the needles found a path threw the fast pony. "You will suffer for that." "I think I all ready have this covered, there will be no suffering from me today." Lan smiled. "Look up." Nightwing did, and saw the reason why he smiled. He hated Griffons. Gilda pounced on Nightwing, cutting him as they went down. "DAMN!!!" Nightwing had been attacked from above, he didn't see this coming. "Leave him alone, he's mine." Gilda smiled as she got off of him. "How you holding up?" "Good. WATCH OUT!" Lan sprung up, wrapping Nightwing with his magic. He was trapped. "Now time for payback." Lan was about to crush him, but royal guards showed up. "Let us take care of him." They dispersed Lan's magic and trapped Nightwing with theirs. Lan looked around, he just put everyone in danger. He turned around an started to leave. "Where are you going?" Said Applejack. "Lan looked at her, "I can't stay here. I'm a magnet for trouble." Lan didn't know what happened next, all he remembered is the amount of blood he lost. ~~~~~~~ "Told you, I knew he couldn't do it." Silence, he's not dead. "Well, doesn't matter." Oh but it does. Now if you will excuse me. I have someone very important to talk to. And looks like shes here. "Wait what?" "Why hello there, now lets talk about Lan. You said he was a what?" A human dear, not from Equestria at all. From earth. Let him know that you know about his past. "I will." And please watch over him. Give him guidance. "Don't worry, He is safe in my wings." Good, you may now leave, Princess Celestia. ~~~~~~~ > Chapter 5: Home > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5: Home "Ow, my entire body. What happened?" Lan had just woken up. "Well damn, that's right." "I see your up. How was your sleep?" Twilight had just came through the door. "Good, um where am I?" "My room, you had been out for a day. Well under 24 hours but you know." With that sentence, Lan realized that the battle had taken on near nightfall. Twilight either sleep with him, or in another room. "Want dinner?" "Sure?" Twilight smiled. "I almost forgot, Pinkie is going to throw you a party." "Oh, ok. I don't really like parties but i'll go." "That's the spirit! What do you want?" "Surprise me." Lan didn't know what ponies eat, the show only said they eat apples and such. This should be interesting. ~~~~~~~ "So Nightwing failed? I knew that would happen." "If you knew that would happen, why did you send him?" "... I have my reasons." "What next sire, do we send out a squad to take him out?" "Maybe a little mayonnaise on the side." "... What?" "No, we have to kept spying on him, find his tacos." "... What?" "Sorry my mind is on tacos right now. His weaknesses, they must be found. Send Nightwing to find them." "... What?" "What do you mean what? Send Lum to find them, what do you want to do it?" "... Wha... Nevermind... Yes my lord." "Also bring me som..." "Tacos. On it." ~~~~~~~ "That was amazing! What was that?" Lan was full, he had eaten way to much food than Twilight had expected. "Hay and flower sandwiches. You never had one?" "Most amazing food ever!" "I can tell, you emptied my supplies!" Twilight smiled. "Sorry, hadn't eaten in a while. So what now." Lan had said but then yawned. "I guess bedtime. Wheres my room?" "Oh, your room? Um, you see." Twilight blushed, Lan knew where this was going. "There is no spare room. Hehe." "Then where do I sleep... Oh, I can sleep on the couch. I lived like that." Lan had just avoided that. "... Ya, I just didn't know! Let me get you some blankets." "Sounds great!" Lan pondered, "When is the party?" "Next night." "Cool." "Twilight, you got a letter!" Spike came rushing in the living room. "Its from Princess Celestia!" Twilight instantly got the letter using her magic and stared at it. 6 words. 'I'll be taking Lan, don't worry.' When she looked back up, Lan was gone. ~~~~~~~ Lan was now in a crystal room, by himself. He hadn't expected this, so he braced for the worse. "Why hello there. You probably know who I am, as I know who you are, Lan Jenkins." "Ah, yes! Your princ..." Lan froze, she had just called him by his real last name. "How did you...?" "I had a little chat with someone. I might be asking you what your doing." "I'm sorry, if you want me to leave, I can understand." "Hehehe, why would I want you to leave?" "I thought...?" "You have a important job you know, a very important one indeed." Celestia was now smiling. "We'll stay in touch." "Wait whats this job?" "You'll find out soon enough," Celestia look like she had a idea. "Oh, and keep Twilight safe. You'll need her." "Wha..." Lan felt stretched, for he had been teleported. "You know you could have kept this place secured, it's way to easy to get in here." "Shut it, you know your part in this. Lets keep it that way." "Poor little Celestia, all I have to do is wait. Not that hard. But then again, what will be in it for me?" "Freedom." "And chaos." ~~~~~~~ Lan appeared above Twilight's bed, of course the coordinates had to be wrong. "Wait wha..." Lan crashed right next to Twilight, good thing she was still awake. "AAAHHH, LAN?!" "The one and only." Lan said while rubbing his head. "... So how was your talk with Celestia?" "Good," Lan remembered that she knew his real identity. "So um..." "Can I ask you a question?" "Shoot." "Why did your parents name you Lan? That just seems like a weird name." "It is." Lan thought fast, too fast. He is getting too good at it. "My real name is Lightouch." Weird, but Lan could deal. " Ligh-Touch? Hm, that's a interesting name. You want to go to bed?" "Please." Lan drifted off, he didn't care for the fact that he was sleeping with Twilight. With one final thought, the urges of sleep hit him. "Curse you, you damn fanfic writer. Made me like Twilight." Lan enjoyed fanfics more than food, just a little fun fact. ~~~~~~~ > Chapter 6: Appeal > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6: Appeal "Mmmfff. -Yawn-, that felt good." Lan had just woken up, he had never slept so well before. As he looked around the room, he couldn't see Twilight. He had a idea. Lan sneaked down stairs, quietly so not a sound could be heard. He heard Twilight in the kitchen. Perfect. Lan snuck up behind Twilight, and as known, was cooking something. It looked good, but that wasn't on Lan's mind. He always liked doing this. Lan got down, and went right under her. Lan then jumped in front of Twilight "Hello!" "GGGAAAHHH, WHAT WAS THAT FOR!!!" Lan didn't hear it, he was laughing to hard, and soon, so was Twilight. (P.S. you guys are perverts.) ~~~~~~~ Lum was not a very happy pony, being sent on recon, ew. Lum was a earth pony, brownish tan with a blue and tan mane. Lum, being a girl and all, is big on fashion, but bigger on killing. Oh how she loved to see her victims scream with pain. She loved the sight of blood, torture being her big thing. Armed with a whip, she can be deadly. Can? Sorry, I meant is. "Time to see what this kid ha... oh my god. Oh my god, OH MY G... nevermind." Lum swayed some sweat off of her head. "Thank god, don't need them having sex now, that would be just weird." She was right. Lum had a smile on her face. An evil smile. "Um, what are you doing?" Said a unlucky finder, "And what are you wearing?" She was wearing what looked like Rarity on a spy mission. "It's called fashion, and what i'm doing is none of your business. Now if I were you, I would run." She pulled out the whip. He ran. ~~~~~~~ "So Twilight, the party is today? "Yep, can't wait?" Twilight had a big smile on her face, which seemed to hypnotize Lan. "Can't ask a question?" Twilight laughed. "You have seemed to get used to living here. You changed a lot!" "I guess." "... What time?" "12:00, its 9:30 right now." "So what to do, hm. What's there to do till then?" Lan knew this was going to be a boring, yet exciting day today. "How about a walk?" Lan had a smirk on his face, "I'll be back." "Ok, don't get hurt." Twilight's smile turned down. "Ok, mom." ~~~~~~~ As Lan took his walk, he started to ponder on the things that were happening; He had no job. He was suppose to do a job but he didn't know what it was. Random people want me dead. There is a random lady in the bushes. "Hey, um what are you doing?" Lan noticed the weird woman, mostly the clothes. Looked like Lady Gaga. "GAH!!! Um, -fuck- hi?" She got scared a bit. "Hi? What are you doing in the bushes?" "Um, nothing...?" Lan was silent, this could turn weird very fast. "So it looks like i'll be going now. Bye." Lan hurried off. Thanks to this encounter, he had a idea. "OKBYENOW!!!" The weird lady was sweaty, and very nervous. that could explain the sweat... ~~~~~~~ "So this is the place, ugh. Looks worse than before. I can tell they tried to clean it up. Lets just add a bit of magic to it." Lan had went to the Apple farm where he had crashed. He wouldn't allow this mess to be uncleaned. "Fixin' the farm eh?" Said a voice from behind. "Looks like you aren't that bad." It was, of course Applejack. "Just, you know, cleaning it up." "Thanks, we were going to do it, but the apples need pickn'." Lan giggled with Applejack. "And there, that should do it." "Nice job there. You mind helpn' me with somethin' else?" "Not at all!" Lan was now worried. He had a right to be. "You see, the apples here, well, we have a lot. You mind helpn' me get some?" Not as bad as Lan had thought. "Um, sure? But I don't know which are good and which are bad." "I'll teach ya." ~~~~~~~ 2 hours later... "Great! Thanks for the help, now!" "No problem." Lan started to go back home. He was going to meet up with Twilight, then go to the party. "I hope Pinkie doesn't do anything that involves me getting upfront of a crowd." Lan thought. Lan pondered the idea of him and Twilight together, but was thrown out immediately. "Why would she want to go out with me? Who would want to go out with me? No one." He felt depressed. "Why me?" 'Don't hate yourself, my child.' "Who are you?" Lan felt prepared for this. "How did you know that help was on the way?" 'I know everything. I came to tell you something.' "Tell me who you are!" 'You are not the only "brony" here. Find the off place ones. Trust me, you will know which ones are which.' "WHO! ARE! YOU!" 'Not who you think I am.' "What does that mean?" Silence filled the air. "Shit. Fuck. Damn it. Does he want me to find these other bronies?" Lan thought all the way back home. ~~~~~~~ "Their you are! Come on, we have to go!" Twilight seemed more uptight. "Ok, ok! I'm coming!" Lets get this over with. ~~~~~~~ The party had been going on for a while now. Just dancing and songs. Simple party stuff. Lan, being in the back corner avoiding the talk, had noticed some figures. Carrot top, Lyra and Bon Bon, even Derpy made it. It was going swell, but then Lan noticed the weird woman from before. This was a time Lan had to know what she was doing. "Hey, my names Lan. You should all ready know that thanks to Pinkie shouting it out 9,000 times. Whatcha doing at the party?" "LAN!!! I FOUND YOU!!!" Lan had just noticed the whip before it was taken out of the strap. "Time to die!" > Chapter 7: Hell > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7: Hell Lum was hot on on Lan, but Lan knew that getting hit wasn't a option. Lan promptly took the fight outside, away from civilians. "Get back here!" Lum was getting pissed. "Your pissing me off!" I just said that. "Hmph." Lan jumped back, far away from the whip. Continuing this battle would have deadly consequences. "Lets finish this!" Lan galloped towards Lum, dodging each whip attack. Lum braced back and gave a attack that couldn't be dodged from Lan point at time. He did the only thing he could do. He took the whip by the mouth and made a attempt to pull it away. The sharp whip cut his mouth as Lum smiled. "Bad idea." Lum pressed a button, sending 10,000 watts of electricity into Lan's body. The cut on his tongue didn't help either, and with that cut sent more into his body than he could handle. Lan fell to the ground. "I knew that would work! Might as well take you to the boss now." Lum pulled out a needle and before she could prick it into Lan, a sword flashed, cutting the needle and the contents on the ground. The crowd gasped. "NO!!! What the shit!" "No more of this shall go on. Your life ends now." A mysterious colt appeared, with a pissed off attitude. "Ah Root! What are you doing here. You know I had this, but then you cut the needle." Lum smiled with her evil grin. "Shut the fuck up, i'm here to help Lan, not to be your little pet." Root growled. "What?! Why are you doing that?!" Root threw his uniform, that for some reason he wore but not the others, and it swayed in the wind. His body was tore up with scars and bruises. "Oh my god, who did that to you?" Lum said confused, but with her smile still on her face. Lan, that wasn't unconscious thanks to Root, leaped up and tackle Lum, pushing the whip away. "I don't know what the hell is happening, but I don't give a damn." Lan said "Root, if you are truly on my side, help me take down this bitch." "My pleasure." Root said. He had no mercy left in his heart. Root grabbed Lum, that was all ready on the ground, and slammed her into a wall. Blood came from both Root and Lum, as Root's wounds opened. "Lan, what I want you to do is take that sword and kill this bitch." Root barked. Lan looked at the sword. "Kill? Why don't we wait for the royal guards to get here?" "She doesn't deserve it." "..." Lan was silent. He didn't want to kill anyone. Maybe justice, but not to kill. He had never dreamed of killing someone. He swore to always protect and to not kill, even if they deserved it. "No." "DO IT!!! DO IT NOW!!! BEFORE IT'S TOO LA..." Root feel down to the ground, in pain. "Fucking piece of garbage, that's all you are." Lum spit on Root. "Thanks for not killing me." Lum was still smiling. "Now it's time to die!" Lum pushed another button on the whip, causing the whip to transform. Razors pushed out of the whip, pointed in a way if Lan got hit, they would tear off his skin. "Let's go, little boy!" "Be. Fucking. ORIGINAL!!!" Lan grabbed the sword and charged Lum with everything he had. He blocked a attack, just centimeters away from his flesh, but sooner than never, made contact with his skin. "Gotcha." The crowd gasped as Lan froze. He had to think fast. "Now I wont pull this here whip if you come with me! Sound like a plan." Lum said seductively. Lan thought. He had one shot to do this. He took the sword wrapped it around the whip, and before Lum could pull, Lan pulled the sword away from him. The resulting action caused the whip the exit his body in the least painful way, while still giving Lan his sword. "Lets go bitch." Lan charged Lum, he stuck out the sword and slid under her, pointing the sword up. As not fatal, Lum was majorly injured. As Lum fell to the ground, Lan stood above her. He whispered into her ear, "Pony's for ever and friendship is magic." And slammed the back of the sword into Lum, causing her to fall unconscious. Lan trotted to Root as the crowd of ponies looked around and cheered. "Hey man, you ok?" Root smiled, "I should be asking you that, partners?" Lan thought to himself. What he knows now that a organization is after him for whatever reason. If he was going to take them down, he needed help. "Partners." Lan smiled back at Root. "That was amazing! You were all like WHOOSH and she was all like WWWWHHHHHAAAATTTTT, and you were all like, oh no you didn't, girl!" Pinkie yelled while jumped up and down. "Hm, pretty impressive!" Rainbow Dash smiled. "That was... um... good." Fluttershy looked sad, yet happy at the same time. "You got 'yur self some skills there sugercube." Applejack nodded. "Why on earth would she wear that! I'm going to have to call the fashion police on her!" Rarity looked disgusted. "Or I could just call the regular old guards. That would work better." As she trotted away, Rainbow Dash flew past her, obviously going to do it herself. "Your a hero now Lan, you saved us all!" Twilight said. Lan didn't notice that Twilight had walked to his side. "It's amazing what a hero can do!" Lan thought to himself, "Hero, that sounds all right." Lan smiled at that thought. Soon the whole crowd was cheering for Lan. Lan was the spotlight, even though he didn't want to be. It felt all right though, he can deal with this. ~~~~~~~ "That was smart of him sister, how he pulled the razor whip from his body with out causing too much damage to himself. You are right! He his a hero!" "Told you so, hehe, it's like... him... reborn." "Sister..." "I'm sorry Luna, I need some time to think. Would you please...?" "Yes, just call me if you need anything." "Thank you dear." Celestia thought to herself as Luna left her room. "He is like 'Him'. Maybe... maybe... NO... remember what he did. Remember what he did to your world." Celestia started crying. "Why..." ~~~~~~~ "I'm sorry sir, we lost both Root and Lum today. Root is a traitor, and Lum has fallen like Nightwing." "Well tie my up with rope and butt fuck me dry." "UM.... WHAT... UM SIR, I DON'T FEEL COM..." "Not like that... did you get anything from the video feed?" "I got everything sir, thanks to Lum, we now have some sort of intel on Lan." "Good... where are my tacos?" "There are no tacos on this planet sir..." "WHAT THE F***ING PIECE OF S*** PLANET DOESN'T HAVE MOTHERF***ING TACOS??? FUCK THIS CHAIR!!!" "Um sir, um..." CRASH. "Please don't throw furniture out the window, you could hit a old lady." "Oh... i'm sorry..." ~~~~~~~ > Chapter 8: Healing > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 8: Healing Author note: Humor will be done, shits and giggles. Lan woke up in Twilight's bed. He fairly enjoyed last night. It was the most fun he had in a while. He found a cup and a ball, but the ball is attached to the cup so it doesn't fall out! Dirty minds out tonight. "Now today is going to be boring... I know! I'll search for other bronies!" Lan thought. He knew this wasn't going to be easy. All he needs is some time and some patience and maybe a chair thrown here and there and... wait... nevermind that last part. Lan was about to set off, but he needed to take a shower first, and change his bandage. After the battle, Twilight took Lan to the hospital and got him healed up. The whip was apparently bathed in some weird concoction before the battle which made it impossible for magic to heal the wounds. With Lan's cut mouth, the electricity killed the chemicals there so the doctors healed that up fast. As Lan stepped in the shower, Twilight walked. "GAH!!!" Lan jumped behind the curtains. "WHY?!" "Oh... i'm sorry... i'll leave now..." Twilight sounded drepresed. "... Wait..." Twilight perked up. "Um... i'm sorry for screaming at you. Is there anything i can do to make it up?" "You can take a shower with me." ~~~~~~~ As Lan went outside, he had just gotten some supplies to start his journey... well sorta... "I can't believe I just did that..." Lan thought. "I had just taken a shower with..." Rainbow Factory Rainbow Factory Rainbow Factory Rainbow Factory "OH GOD MEMORIES... wait what was I thinking about?" Lan didn't know, he had one goal today... you just took a shower with Twilight. "FUCK YOU NARRATOR!!!" Mad? Lan took flight, he had almost forgotten that he was a alicorn. Lan loved to fly. As a kid, Lan had wanted to become a superhero, as in every kids dreams. As Lan scanned the town, he saw that there was no sign of anyone acting suspicious. There was no way he was going to find anyone like this. Lan hovered the ground, then almost hit someone, which caused him to go back up. "Well that went fast." Lan thought, then he spotted something weird. He was over the apple farms when he spotted Applejack being helped by someone other than Big Mac. "Jackpot." ~~~~~~~ "That. Felt. Amazing." Twilight had been blushing since the second she stepped in the bathroom, now about 30 minutes after the shower incident. She wrote in her diary, and when she was done, she took out another paper and started to write a letter to Celestia. Although she wouldn't tell her what directly what happened, she was going to need some advice. "Spike! I need you to send a letter for me!" ~~~~~~~ "Hey there Applejack and other person I have no idea who you are! How yall doin'!" Lan said with his most fake accent ever. "Well hey there sugercube! This is Zero. Also never do that again." Applejack stared at Lan, Lan stared at Zero, Zero stared at Applejack. This went on for about 2 minutes before both Applejack and Zero blinked. "I win!" Lan smiled. Zero was weird looking, with a vine green body and black and lime green tail, you could spot this guy out from a croud of hippies. He also had wings, like that matters. "So you did!" Applejack smiled back. "I'll let you two get to now each other." And with that she walked off. "Hey Zero, does this mean anything to you? Love and tolerance." Zero blinked. "Ok, how about '20% cooler'?" Zero blinked again. "Are you a fucking brony." Zero stared at Lan, which Lan was getting freaked out by. "OH MY GOD, YOUR A BR..." With that, Lan closed Zero's mouth shut. "Dude, don't scream it..." "Sorry, I wasn't expecting another brony to show up here." Zero giggled. "So, you used to be a human?" "One and only race..." "Cool... so, how is being a alicorn feel." It became a weird and silent moment. Lan could feel the nervousness twitching in his body. "So... trying to hook up with Applejack?" Lan broke the silence. "Yep, it's going to take a while, but it will be worth it." Zero started to drool. "I can't wait to tou..." "TOO FAR MAN!" "Sorry, got lost in trance." Both Lan and Zero laughed. "So how did you like... get here?" "I died." Lan stared at Zero. "Construction site. Fell off a building. I never did like heights." "Damn dude." "Yep..." "I'm back yall. Sorry, I felt that Granny needed something. Livin with her and you start to sense these things. So Zero, where are you staying at?" "Nowhere now, I mean, my family sorta. Disowned me." "Nice Zero. Reel her in with that and your sure to get her. Even thought that is cheap." Lan thought. "Oh, i'm sorry. Why don't you live here with me. You help me with the farm, and I feed ya!" "That sounds amazing, thank you!" "Ok then, i'll get you set up! You can talk too Lan till I call you, ok?" "Thank you so much!" Applejack smiled and trotted away. She seemed really happy. Lan knew they were going to get together. Hopefully Mac won't get all prissy. "Smart move there Zero, although a bit too overboard." "Cool, hey where are you staying?" "Twilight's house." "Sweet. You do anything sexy?" Zero smiled. "We took a shower together tod... REPRESSED MEMORIES!" "Haha nice." ~~~~~~~ Lan had left Zero to do his thing with Applejack. He could pull it off. But now Lan had nothing else to do. He felt weird just knowing that other people are here. "What if one tries to take Twilight away from me." Lan thought. What he was feeling felt wrong though. It wasn't that, or the fact that there will probably be a awkward silence at dinner time with Twilight. It felt like something was pulling him. He vanished from thin air. ~~~~~~~ "GAH!" Lan hit the floor hard. He had been teleported by Celestia. He knew it was her because it felt almost instant and more powerful. "Sorry, but I needed you now." "It's ok Princess...es?" Lan said while rubbing his head. Luna was standing next to Celestia, which was in her chair. "Hey." "Hi?" "So Luna, here he is. In person." "So you like... live in another world?" "Used. Now that i'm dead in that one, I can here." Lan was still rubbing his head. "Oh please let this end fast." Lan thought. Both Luna and Celestia looked at each other. "You can't leave this early?" Said Celestia "Shit can she read my mind?!" Lan thought. "No Lan, I can't..." She was waiting. "Good, because I thought you could." Lan stared at Luna, which was now face hoofing and sighing. "Please tell me this isn't the one tha..." "Luna." "Sorry." "It is. He's just a litt..." Celestia started. "WAIT YOU DID READ MY MIND!!!" Lan shouted. Both Luna and Celestia stared at Lan. "Sister, can I speak with Lan alone. You can speak with him some other time." "Ok." Luna dispersed in thin air. Magic. "Lan, I know you love Twilight. And it's quite obvious she loves you too..." Lan swallowed. "Lan, she wrote me a letter asking for advice to make you fall in love with her. When I first read it, I chuckled at it. It was quite silly. Lan, I want you to ask Twilight to be your marefriend." "What! I can't do that! I mean... she will say no." "Lan listen to me. She. Loves. You. And you love her too. I know this stuff. Magic and a little friendship tells you this. Do it Lan. Ask her." "..." Lan froze. He hasn't had a date in his life. He knows nothing about all that romance stuff. "You'll do fine." With that sentence, Celestia's horn glowed and sent Lan back to Twilight's house. ~~~~~~~ "OW!!!" Lan hit the floor again. "Why does she do that?" Lan looked at his bandage. All fine. "Well hey there Lan, just putting back some books. Have a talk with Celestia?" "Yep." Lan thought. She was preoccupied with her books so maybe he can ask her later. With that, Lan felt a stinging in his head. "Fine. Damnit all Celestia." "Hey Twilight?" "Yes Lan, that goes there, that goes..." "Will you be my marefriend?" Lan froze for the answer. "No." ~~~~~~~ (What a tweest!) > Chapter 9: Just Friends > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 9: Just Friends Feat. Blue Breeze Lan took the news hard. Before Twilight had reacted, Lan horn flashed. He wanted to get away. His magic obeyed. The teleportation was so strong, it caused a rift to appear in his track. Seconds later, the rift died, and so did the trail to Lan. ~~~~~~~ Blue Breeze was a golly good fellow. Had the time of his life. He had everything; money, women, power. No one could take this away from him. Blue Breeze was a blue pegasus with yellow mane and tail, and yes, a brony. He had come to this land seeking to meet Princess Celestia, but sadly his love has gone to waste. 12000 miles away from Equestria does that to somepony. "All in." Blue said while pushing in all his chips. He was decent at gambling. "Your insane! Out." "Me too." "Count me out." Blue smiled as he laid down his cards. He had one pair, 2 of hearts. He laughed and took his chips. "Dangit." Blue heard a scream from behind him, as did everyone else. The woman pointed in horror at Blue's back. As he touched his back, a strong force dragged him in, sending him and about 4 dollars worth of chips with him. ~~~~~~~ Lan had no idea where he was, and for that matter, didn't care. The only thing he could think of is how worthless he felt. No happy ending could solve this. It was just him now. Alone. By himself. He looked up from his damp hands, which he had been crying into, and saw his rift. He didn't notice it before and intrigued Lan. He had no idea what it was. He reached out his hand, and before he touched it, and blue pony flew through it, hitting Lan and knocking him back against the tree. "Ow -sniff-." Said Lan. "What happened." "Well I don't know? Wait... GAH!" The mysterious pony jumped up and braced what for what ever happened next. "Hello..." Said Lan. "Hi... what happened?" "I wish I knew. I think the rift that I created pulled you here." "..." The mysterious stallion froze. "You... YOU RUINED ME!!!" Lan yelped and sunk back into his knees. "I didn't mean to create it, I just..." Depression filled Lan. "... Shit, look i'm sorry... wait... where am I?" "I don't know. Probably not far from Ponyville." The colt jumped with excitement. "YESYESYESYES... um... I mean..." Awkwardness filled the air. "So whats your name ma... colt... stallion." The man shifted his eyes. "My names Lan... wait... you were about to say man weren't you?" The blue stallion froze. "Don't tell me." "Holy..." "...crap." "The name is Blue Breeze. Just call me Blue. Why are you out here man?" ~~~~~~~ Lan had told him everything, from a to z. Most of the words came out in shudders and shivers. "Damn dude, you ok?" Blue was now fully concerned. "Yep, thanks to you." Lan sniffed. Lan plopped down on the ground. "Now there is nowhere to live." Lan gave depressed shivers. "... Fuck no." Lan was shocked by this. "FUCK NO!!! We are going to Twilight, RIGHT NOW, and i'm going to tell off that BITCH!!! Just to do that to you? NO!!!" Lan could see Blue was over mad. (Like when I die with all my diamonds on me in minecraft.) Lan prepared for a teleportation spell. It didn't come out. "I can't. First I don't know where we are. Second she isn't not a bitch untill we figure out why. Third I suck at spells." "Let me fly around till I can see where we are." As Lan saw him fly up, he looked around, facehoofed and came back down. "Dumbass." Ponyville is right over there!" He pointed down the forest. "Come on! Let's go." "LAN!!! There you are!" A tired sound came from the direction Blue pointed. A purple mare. "Lan, i'm so sorry! I... hello?" Twilight had noticed Blue. "Can we get some privacy, please?" Twilight said. Blue mumbled and walked off. Lan had his arm stretched out, singling for him to stay, but it was too late. Twilight sat beside him. Lan wasn't prepared for this. He had hoped that Blue would be here to help. Twilight started to cry. "I'm so sorry, I just..." "Want to be friends? Don't worry, I understand. Just friends." "I do." "Wha..." Lan couldn't speak because he was experiencing something that only comes once. First kiss. Twilight had shut him up by giving Lan CPR. You know... kissing. When Twilight let go, as she stared at Lan to come back to life, she said. "What happened at the libary was a mistake. I was rearranging the books and I placed one wrong." "Well hey there Lan, just putting back some books. Have a talk with Celestia?" "Yes Lan, that goes there, that goes..." Lan looked at the ground. "FUCK!!! SHIT!!! SON OF A BITCH IM STUPID!!! HOW COULD I FORGET!!!???!!!???" Lan was screaming at himself, how could he not? Twilight tucked her head under Lan's. "I'm sorry for overreacting. I just..." "Ssshhh." It seemed like a romance novel, the guy gets the girl, they stay in the wilderness for 5 minutes untill RUDE ASS PEOPLE BUTT IN! "Hey, um, can we like, like... go home?" "Hey you don't have a place to stay? Twilight can Blue here stay at the library with us?" "Fine, but you three have to go get jobs sooner or later." With that sentence Lan wondered how Twilight has money. "Adventure?" Blue said. "Grab my tail." ~~~~~~~ (WHAT A TWEEST!) > Chapter 10: Truth > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 10: Truth Lan stared at the blank ceiling as he was resting in bed. He couldn't sleep. He looked down at Twilight, which had her head under Lan's. "She looks so peaceful," Lan thought, "I can't move her. Even if I need to go to the bathroom." Lan stroked Twilight's side. "Should I tell her the truth?" Lan's tried to wiggle out her grasp, but Twilight help tighter. "Fuck this." Lan pushed Twilight, sending her sliding to the other part of the bed, almost falling out of the bed. "That was too close." Lan said, but scared him because Twilight shifted with the sentence. Walk trotted to the bathroom, turned on the sink, and started to clean his face. When he got done he went to the bathroom, and noticed the time was 2:00 AM. "Shit tits." Lan sighed. As he walked back, he could see Blue Breeze sleeping on the couch. "What am I going to do with you... wait... Celestia! I could ask Celestia for help!" Lan jumped with glee, but hoovered down. As Lan went to bed, again, he slid Twilight back and cuddled with her. Maybe next time. ~~~~~~~ Next Morning "Come on guys? Please! I need to talk with Celestia!" Lan was at Canterlot begging for entrance. "IF. YOU. WANT. TO. SEE. THE. PRINCESS. FILL. OUT. THIS. FORM." One of the guards was getting prissy. "PPPUUUHHHHLLLLLLLEEEEESSSSSSS!" Lan gave the sad eyes. "Preety prese?" "...Ok... I made up my mind. Your NEVER COMING IN!!!" "Damn." "My what do we have here?" Celestia beamed over the guards and Lan. "If it isn't Lan. I'm guessing you want in? Please do." Celestia smiled. "Thank you princess!" While Lan entered, he turned his head around and stuck out his tongue. "What brings you here Lan?" "I need help. It's about... a home." "Lan, you live with Twilight now." "No it's not that. What about Root and Blue Breeze. Twilight doesn't have a spare room and there's only one couch." "I think I can solve that!" As both Celestia and Lan walked into the throne room, Celestia's horn glowed, and a transparent house appeared on the side of the room. "Will this sufice? It has rooms for Root and..." "Blue Breeze." "Ah yes, Blue Breeze, and even has more rooms for any other 'brony' you might find." "That would be amazing, but... what will this cost." "Nothing my dear. You keep doing what your doing and the house is free." "Awesome!" Lan hugged Celestia. "Thank you so much for this!" The door exploded. Well sorta, they just opened really fast but when I say exploded it adds a little more detail and where is this going, WHY DID YOU WRITE THIS DOWN FOR ME TO READ!!! "CELESTIA!!!" Luna came right through the door, and the house dispersed. "Ah, Lan. Perfect!" "What is it sister? Has something come up that Lan needs to do?" "Tell him everything!" By that, Lan froze. "Tell me everything? What is there to tell me?" Lan thought. "Luna, stop. This isn't how it's suppose to go." "Lan, there's more that you don't know, and I can't just keep it inside me." Luna looked down, Celestia was in total shock. "LUNA!!! ENOUGH OF THIS!!!" Celestia's voice boomed, causing Lan to fall over in fear. "What the hell is going on? Has Luna gone mad? Why is Celestia so protective over 'what needs to be said'?" Lan's thoughts spun out of control. He wasn't hoping for this. Lan had only one idea to what to do. "So about that house? Whe..." "Celestia... If you don't say it, I will. He has the right to know." Luna slammed her hoof, causing the ground to be ruptured. "..." Celestia thought for a moment. "Lan, the life you live here, it's a lie." ~~~~~~~ At the applefarm, both Zero and Mac were collecting apples. Applejack was helping Applebloom with something so this left Mac and Zero alone. Perfect time for Zero to have that talk with Mac. "Hey Big Mac..." Zero started. "Yes?" "You know, how I..." "You love Applejack, ya I noticed." "But how did you...?" "She's my sister, I can tell when she loves something, or something." Big Mac tapped a tree, causing every apple to fall, hard. Zero gulped. "So you don't like... mind?" "Not at all, as long as you don't..." Big Mac closed in on Zero. "... have your way with her." Zero couldn't breath. "NONONONONONONONO, I HAVEN'T TRIED ANYTHING LIKE THAT YET!!!" "..." Mac tapped another tree, causing all but one apple to fall. "Yet..." "I'm dead..." Zero thought. "Go on, tell me your plan." "There was no plan, I swear." Lied, he had a plan to the point were they died together. "Hmf." Mac gave a little more force with his kick. The apple was resistant. "... I'm sorry..." Big Mac turned away from the apple. "It's just that, I love her... I loved her since I saw her. Maybe... maybe... if you want me to leave, i'll pack." "..." Big Mac smiled. "I would only allow a man to take my sister, she's all yours." Zero perked up. "Really?" "Again, don't knock her up." "Wait, you kinda just gave me permission to have sex with her." Big Mac flinched and coincidentally kicked the tree so hard that it snapped off the ground. "Shit." Zero thought when he got hit in the face. ~~~~~~~ Blue Breeze woke up to the sweet smell of pancakes. As he walked in, he saw Twilight, head down. "Twilight? What's wrong?" "Oh!" With that she perked up a bit. "Oh nothing! I just... when I woke up, Lan was gone." "So you make pancakes?" "He left a note saying he had to talk with the princess." "So why are you sad, I mean, you know where he is? It's not like he's been kidnapped." "I had this all planned for him." She looked over at the table, all set nice and pretty for her and Lan. Blue never noticed that, it's weird that a person doesn't notice something big till someone announces its presence. "...! What about me?!" Twilight blushed, being broken from her thought. "I was... more or less... hoping you would still be asleep." Twilight laughed a bit. "Well those pancakes smell delicious." "You want some?" "Sure!" ~~~~~~~ "What do you mean? My life, being..." "Your life in Equestria dear." Luna was standing beside Celestia, quiet as a mouse. "I don't..." "You see, 'He' makes it all happen. He made Equestria, Earth, and everything else. When you died back at Earth, 'He' took you under his control. He saw that you could fulfill what was needed here. That is, taking out the Nameless. They pledge this planet with their evil ways, killing, looting, and rape. You were hand selected out of all of the people on earth, to come here." "What will happen next, after I destroy Nameless." "..." Celestia started to cry. "You go to Hell." "WHAT!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!!" "When you died, you were suppose to go to Hell. You broke many rules." "I don't care about that." This answer surprised Luna, as she gasped. "What about Twilight." "She will have to find another stallion." "..." Lan couldn't speak. This wasn't fair. Hey would save a planet just to go back to Hell. But why? Lan choose his next words carefully. "Fuck you." Both Celestia and Luna gasped, as they have never been said that. "Both of you, if your just GOING TO LET ME DO THIS AND BE SENT BACK!!! FUCK YOU ALL!!! FUCK THIS 'PLAN' YOUR MAKING ME GO THROUGH!!! IS THIS SOME TYPE OF GAME TO YOU!!!" Celestia couldn't speak. "I'M DONE!!! FUCK THIS, I'M NOT GOING TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR SHIT ASS PLAN!!!" "But you..." "Listen to me carefully, FUCK. GOD. HE CAN GO DIE IN A HOLE FOR ALL I CARE!!!" Lan turned back, only to be blocked off by Celestia's magic. "DO NOT ADDRESS HIM LIKE THAT!!!" Celestia calmed herself. ".Listen to me, your endangering thousands of lives. Think about what your doing." "WHAT'S THE POINT!!! THEY ALL HATE ME ANYWAY!!!" "... What about Twilight." Lan was speechless. "What I thought. I'll give you time to think about it." Lan thought as hard as he could, but for what. No reward, just pain. "Lan." Lan turned around to see Root, standing there. "Root?" "Lan. What they have planned is not good. Death for everyone who stands in their way. They are planning to take over the throne, wiping out millions of pony's. Lan, i'm a brony. Like you. Accept the job." "But... Twilight." "'He' made a mistake, some bronies were able to slip into this world, like other people, except me. Lan i'm in this plan too. I was the first for the plan till they corrupted me. Let's do this together. As partners." Root's hoof stuck out, but Lan didn't move. He couldn't. All this was too fast for him. He couldn't take it all in at once, so he had to reject all of it, but it just came back. "I... you want to hear my final answer." Celestia and Luna closed in to hear him. "I love Twilight. I do, and there is no mistaking for it. I would protect her with my life. If I have to leave this world... I don't want to leave without her. What i'm saying is... fuck it..." Lan smiled."I swore to protect the innocent. To what ever cause, or effect that came to me. I live by that oath, I mean, it's how I died. I want to be known as a person that cared for others, to be the good guy." Lan looked down at his hooves. He swore off the thoughts that rushed his mind. He started to recite a oath. Stick to your friends, help only your partners. Destroy all corrupt, blacken their hopes. Live by love, live by friends, live by good, live by hope. "That oath was by a friend of mine, one that knows I live by it. I accept your job." Luna jumped with joy, Celestia smiled. "Partners?" Root lifted his hoof. "Partners!" Lan punched his hoof with all his might, sending Root into backing up a bit. ~~~~~~~ That little rascle. Maybe... "Maybe what? Give him something for doing this job? What about Root?" Maybe... ~~~~~~~ Author's comment: Live by oath. > Chapter 11: Love > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 11: Love Lan was talking to Root what had happened since he 'disappeared'. Turns out he was in the hospital, treating the wounds the Nameless gave to him. "Lan, Root, are you ready to go home?" Luna said, horn glowing. "Not yet Luna, can you do something for me?" Lan had one more thing to do. "Can you teleport Blue Breeze here?" "Oh, sure." Blue Breeze appeared beside Lan. "That was delicious Twi..." Blue looked around, "Lan? Root? Luna? Princess Cele... PRINCESS CELESTIA?!" Blue froze, then jumped behind Lan and Root and started to fix himself up. When he got finished he jumped right in front of Lan and bowed. "Princess." Luna giggled, "Come on guys, let's go!" And with that, Lan, Root, and Luna disappeared, going to the new house. "Wait, what? SON OF A..." Blue turned to see that his friends were gone, leaving him and his love alone. "P-p-p-p-prin-princess." Blue was shaking. Celestia smiled, "Just call me Celestia. So blue, anything you want to tell me?" She peered into Blue's eyes, beckoning to tell his secrets. "ILOVEYOU!!!" Blue shut his mouth closed with his hoof, which kinda hurt. "But doesn't everypony love me?" Celestia smiled turned into a fake frown. "... I mean... everypony does... I just mean..." Blue turned blushing. He could here his brain screaming at him to do something. "I know Luke. I know you love me in that way." "...That's not fair, you us... um Luke? Who is this person?" Blue started to sweat. "I also know that Lan is a brony too, but of course I can read you like a book." Celestia trotted towards Blue, kissing him on the head. Blue hadn't seen this coming. He never imagined getting this far with his relationship with Celestia. "Luke, Blue, why don't we talk in my room." You could see the blood dripping from Blue's nose. ~~~~~~~ While Luna was on the floor laughing, Root had been pulling on Lan's tail, forcing him to stay inside as Lan struggled to get outside. "WHAT WAS SO DELICIOUS TWILIGHT?! LET GO OF ME!!!" Lan shouted at Root, which he just gave the same answer, no. "Look Lan, look who was here the whole time." Luna laughed, pointing at Twilight, which was giving the -_- face. "I didn't know you could get so jealous." Twilight blushed when she got over to Lan, "Don't worry, I had made pancakes." "... Wait... pancakes?" Lan, now not being pulled by Root, wondered. "Back at my place, nice house you got here!" "It was a gift from Celestia." Lan said, looking for Luna which had disappeared. "Fuck this, i'm going to my room." Root said, fucking going to his goddamn bitch ass room. "Let's go to my place." Lan giggled and before he could say anything witty, he had been teleported to Twilight's house. ~~~~~~~ Zero woke up in the room of Applejack. Wasn't on the bed because Mac just dumped him on the floor. "I guess Applejack is still helping Applebloom." He noticed the time, 7:37 P.M. "Might as well go see if AJ needs help." "Ah Zero, your awake! So you gave me a nickname, eh." Applejack giggled. She had been behind the whole time. "Uhhh, how long..." "Nevermind that, brother came in and just dumped you on the ground unconscious. He said that we can be together for some reason... why were you unconscious?" "Long story." Zero said, hugging Applejack. Applejack blushed, "Well, can I ask you something?" "Hit me." "Do you love me?" Applejack said while hitting Zero. "First, when I said hit me, I meant for to ask me a question. Second..." Zero blushed "Yes." Applejack smiled, "Well, then this next part might be a bit better for both you and me." She took off her hat and kissed Zero, guiding him towards the bed. ~~~~~~~ It turns out that Blue Breeze, or Luke, and Celestia had much more in common than Blue had thought. They both liked to gamble, adventure, and explore. This was like winning jackpot three times in a row, even though he had already done that. "So then I just go all in and they all back out!" Both Celestia and Blue started to laugh. "I never had seen this coming from you Blue. I had thought you were the same as everypony, but. Now I can see your a lot more than that!" Celestia started to blush, but with a little magic, pushed back the blood. "Who would have thought that the princess of Equestria would like to gamble." Blue shrugged. "All right with me. Wait. If you like to do this kinda stuff, why don't you do it." Celestia got off the bed, which Blue had also been on, and Celestia sighed. "Being the princess means a lot to me. It's who I am. There is just no time to do those things." Blue had a idea. "Why don't we do it when like... a holiday comes. Isn't it getting close to Halloween?" "Is that what you call it on Earth? It is isn't it!" "Why don't we just do the stuff you like all day on holidays, because your like free and all." "That's a great idea! I have no work other than to work with the sun. Let's do it!" Celestia got close to Blue, really close. "I love you." Blue smiled. ~~~~~~~ Lan had enjoyed his pancake dinner, as did Twilight, which had to make more because Blue ate them all. "Amazing!" Gulped down the last pancake. "I'm glad you liked it Lan, hey, where is spike?" "Rarity." "Did he tell you?" "Nope. Just obvious." Twilight giggled. "You know what this means right?" "What?" Lan was confused. "Cuddling?" Twilight had another idea. "Follow me!" She trotted up the stairs, which Lan just flew up. She leaded him into her room. "Twilight what are you..." Lan was intercepted by a kiss. "Lan, I think it's time." "For what." She climbed on the bed and called for him, as he did. "I want you." Lan gulped, he knew this day would come, well damn. Can't tell if good, or bad. ~~~~~~~ Authors note: Happy endings for everyone. > Chapter 12: Forces > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 12: Dreams Warning: Sexual content, like how a movie shows the girl naked, but you... you know. Lan and Twilight had been going at for about 2 hours. With Spike gone and the random owl always missing, no one stopped them. Twilight was laying on Lan, from their last... position. "You want to go again? Lan... LAN!" Twilight got a bit scared. "Duuhhh... what? Oh sorry, ya sure." Twilight laid on her back, Lan had thought she said something else involving food. Lan shrugged it off and laid on top of her, ready. Just then the front door slammed open and Zero pounced all the way to the top of stairs. "DUDE!!! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT, OH I SEE YOUR HAVING SEX WITH TWILIGHT OK!!!" "What the hell?" Lan said. He looked over to see Zero watching him... staring. Smiling. "WHAT THE FUCK?!" Lan fell off the bed, with Twilight, and the sheets. "GET OUT!!!" "K." Zero jumped down off the railing. "Sorry Twilight." "No problem." Twilight rubbed her head. Lan got up, his 'buddy' (Thats right, I aint saying it.) gone, and now it's time to make a certain buddy gone. Lan jumped over the railing, and hit the ground hard. He was dumbfounded to find Zero sipping on some tea. "Jolly good sir!" Lan slammed Zero against the door, letting the tea fall to the ground. Zero smiled. "Get. The. Fuck. Out." Lan was pissed. "But I have to tell you something." Zero frowned and gave the puppy face. "Pulease." "Fine." "I had sex with APPLEJACK!!!" Zero screamed at the top of his lungs. Lan could hear Twilight say "Wait... what?" "Ok, time to go bye bye." Lan said as he threw Zero out of the house. Lan floated up to Twilight, she was already in bed, sleeping. "Note to self, kill Zero." ~~~~~~~ Morning Lan woke up, seeing Twilight had just woken up too. They took a shower together, which meant more sex, which then they had to take another shower for, fucking dipshits. "No time for breakfast, I need to go see Root." "Ok, atleast be back for lunch and dinner." "Ok." Lan pushed open the semi-broken door and headed out. He didn't bother to mess with Zero. After last night he is going to pay big time. "Hey! Lan! Down here!" Lan looked down to see Blue Breeze waving towards him. Lan flew down to meet him. "What's up? Hey how did you and Celestia get off?" "We talked... and um... ya..." "Failure to cooperate will result in vaporization civilian." "Um, what... nevermind. It went well. Let's go back to the house. I need to ask Twilight a question." "I actually got a house now. You live there now." "OH COOL! Celestia must of got it for you, eh?" "Yep." "Cool. Where is it?" "Follow me." ~~~~~~~ "So many room's and food galore. Dude..." Blue had been jumping around the house for about 10 minutes saying the obvious. "Hey Blue, shut the hell up." Root was standing there watching this entire scene with great displeasure. "Ruin my fun? Hmph." "You've been doing that every since you got here." "Why does he live here with you again?" "Blue be quite." Lan chuckled. Lan felt a vibe in his body. "Got to go guys." Lan said as he was teleported. "Fatty." Blue smiled. "..." Root had no response. ~~~~~~~ As soon as the teleportation had been completed, Lan hoovered down to the floor. "What is it now Celestia." Lan had been getting used to the randomness of Celestia's teleportation's. Celestia shivered. "Lan... w-w-we have a p-p-prob-b-blem." "What's the matter?" Lan surveyed the room, nothing there but him and the princess. "A fo-o-o-orce... I don-n-n't know what i-t-t-t is... but... help m-m-m-me." Celestia said falling towards the ground. "PRINCESS!!!" Lan rushed to her side. "Are you ok?" She was unconscious. Lan made a clear understanding of this in his head. 1. Something is causing Celestia to shiver and collapse. 2. What ever it was, it was big and heading their way. 3. It was magical. 4. He was going to need help. "GUARDS!!!" Lan screamed at the top of his lungs. None came to his aid. "CELESTIA IS DEAD!!!" Just then 50 guards bust down the door, finding only but Lan and Celestia. "FREEZE, GET AWAY FROM THE PRINCESS!!!" One of the guards said, pointing his spear at Lan. "I'm not the enemy dope, and Celestia isn't dead. I just needed your attention. Something big is coming, prepare for a attack. Only defend the castle and civilians, round up all civilians and take them somewhere safe." "And why should we listen to you?" "You should because as Princess-s-s, I demand you listen to him." Luna had walked into the room, obviously not as bad as Celestia, but still can feel the power. "But..." "But noth-h-h-ing, do as he says. Lan, round up your friends, prepare for the worst." Luna prepared her magic. Lan nodded yes and was teleported. ~~~~~~~ "STOP IT I DO SAY!!!" Blue screamed. "SHUT UP OR I'LL KILL YOU!!!" Root had Blue pinned to the ground. Lan appeared in the air, landing safely on the ground. "Guys, something big is coming! I need you guys to help me! Blue, go fetch Zero, we could use him!" Blue nodded and when Root got off of him, we flew through the door. "Root come on!" "Fine." Root grabbed his sword and followed Lan as he flew up in the air. "So what are we looking for?" "No idea. This force that came knocked out Celestia." "Damn." "I know." "Hey guys!" It was Zero followed by Blue, it seems that Zero is faster than Blue. "Prepare yourself guys. What ever is coming knocked Celestia out." Root growled. "Guys-s-s-s... I th-h-h-ink i'm feel-l-l-ing it too!" Lan felt death. Just death. "But from where?" Blue wondered. "I do-o-o-n't know." "Um, guys... take a look at the castle." As all three looked, their mouths dropped as they had saw what was coming. "Please don't tell me that's a..." Root started. "D-d-d-dragons..." > Chapter 13: Powerless > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 13: Powerless Lan feared what he saw. Three dragons heading his way with, what he believed, a Nameless. The enemies stopped mid flight in front of Lan and his friends. The Nameless appeared on the middle dragon. "Well if it isn't Lan and his friends! Don't worry your little heads, i'm here for one thing." He was a unicorn, Lan knew he was the one with all the power. The Nameless pointed at Lan, his magic pulled Lan towards him. He then flicked his other arm and the other two dragons shielded them from the others. "LAN!!!" Zero and Blue yelled. Root was plotting. "So, Lan. As you know, you were put on this planet to stop us, and the boss can't have that. Look here, continuing your little..." He stopped for a second. "adventure... will result in death. If I were you, I would stop this little act and submit to our demands." "And why do you t-t-t-think i'll do that." Lan gave a fake smile. He knew how much danger he was in. "As you know, my power is great. Before I was even in sight I had knocked out Celestia, and by your shuddering, you either fear me or you feel it too. Now lets just say the boss didn't want you to have your magic when you and him fight. Well he wanted me to dispose of that. And let's also say he also didn't want you to fly either." He smiled. "Guess what." Lan knew what was coming. He started the attempt of freeing himself, but to no use. "Your joking. It's impossible!" He took a moment to recollect his thoughts. "Your right. But it doesn't mean I can't disable your powers..." The Nameless grabbed one of Lan's wings. He snapped Lan's wings and tore it off. Lan screamed at the top of his lungs. Blood sprayed out of Lan's wing. Lan had no other choice but to hope for mercy, for the magic started to gush out his body. "Or maybe I could just do a little..." With that sentence, the Nameless ripped off the other wing. He wasn't bothered by Lan's screaming, nor the fact that his magic were sealing up Lan's wounds, bounding him, shaping him from his flying abilities. Lan's magic persisted by pushing out the unwanted magic from Lan, but it had no use. Soon, Lan had lost both his magical and flying abilities. "It seems like your friends are trying to rescue you... one more thing." His magic tore off Lan's horn. The horn is actually bone which has little veins that connect to the brain, so its like salt to the wound. "Tell Celestia my exact words, 'prepare for unforeseen consequences'. With that, the Nameless signaled the dragons to part, and threw Lan out. Zero caught Lan in horror as Lan was drenched in blood and sweet. His wings and horn gone, but no holes or wounds. At first glance of Lan, Root lanced forward, preparing his sword, only to be thrown back by the pegasuses magic. "I'LL KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID!!!" Root shot forward and went past the Nameless and shot forward for a counter. "Poor little Root, tsk tsk. You have never felt pain yet. Come on my little pets, lets go home." He looked at the smallest one. "Except you. Stay here and obliterate everything you see." The dragon hesitated and flew towards Ponyville. The Nameless and his pets dispersed into thin air. Lan saw the dragon, stared into its eyes. He saw what happened, as the others did not. "Guys... the dragon. Don't... kill it... it's being controlled... fly me towards it... NOW!!!" "But..." Zero started. "Root... backup... Blue... backup... Zero... fly me..." Lan could hardly speak, he was saving his energy. All three flew towards the dragon. As they caught up to it, Lan started. "WAIT!!!" The dragon froze, he looked at Lan and his friends, this caught the dragon off guard and it shot flames at the allies. Root took control and with his sword, cut the flames in half, protecting Lan, Zero and Blue. "Listen to me... you don't want to do this. I can see your being controlled. Don't let him control you. You have your rights, and what that freak is doing is wrong... don't let this happen. FIGHT IT!!!" The last two words frightened the dragon a bit, but it knew. Sadly the dragon had to obey its master. It readied its flame and started to scorch several houses. "NOT ON MY WATCH!!!" A mare said in the Royal Canterlot Voice, RCV for short. "YOU WILL NOT DESTROY MY TOWN!!! BACK DOWN OR I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!" "Luna?! Wait, it's a friendly, being mind controlled!" Root shouted out. "... I know. LISTEN TO ME, LOOK AT ME, REMEMBER ME!" Luna said, calming her voice. "Lucy, don't do this." "LUCY?! THAT DRAGON WAS LUNA'S PET?!" Blue's mouth dropped open. "Don't call Lucy a pet. She isn't a pet." Luna said sadly. 'Lucy' was in shock, she didn't know what to do. Obey her master, or help her friend. Lucy shuddered, and with her wings, blew out the fire. Not only had Lucy destroyed the village, but she had saved it. Luna curled up with Lucy. "Thank you so much Lucy. Come on, let's get..." She saw Lan's state and shuddered. With her magic she teleported Lan and his friends to Celestia. Luna had to stay with Lucy. There was a lot to catch up on. ~~~~~~~ 2 hours later Root was guarding the door to Lan's hospital room. He allowed no one to go in, not even Twilight. Twilight was sobbing quietly while Blue, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and of course Pinkie, was comforting her. Zero was pacing and the rest of the people were mixed with Royal Guards and confused doctors who demanded to be let in. "Root, please! Let me in!" Twilight shot up, tears still falling towards the floor. Root stared at Twilight, the stare mixed with fear and regret. She knew from that stare that this was more serious than she thought. Inside the room was Celestia and Lan, which had been 'out' for the last 2 hours from the mass amount of pain. Celestia had tried using her magic to fix Lan, but with no result. "What did he do to you..." Celestia said quietly. Lan's purple mane and tail had been blood red since Celestia washed him, and his coat still had a little red in it. Celestia opened the door, and with that she saw Root back up, allowing her to leave. Everyone froze for her answer. Celestia started to cry, even though her magic tried to back it up, today was a sad day. "He's going to be all right..." With that Twilight perked up, but was shot back down from the next sentence. "But..." Celestia was quiet for about 5 seconds. "He will never fly or use magic again." The crowd was shell shocked, including Twilight which took the news hard. She held Spike harder than she did, choking the poor little purple dragon. She let go when Rainbow Dash pulled Spike away from her deadly grip. "I tried everything. He put a spell on him, that made it were I, nor anyone else, can get to him. I'm sorry. He shifted his bones and blocked out the part of Lan's brain, it's just... wrong." "So is anyone aloud to see him?" Root broke the silence. "I recommend only those Lan is close too." "What if any Nameless try to kill him?" Root continued, but with his sentence made Twilight shudder. "If that... thing wanted to kill, trust me, he would of." When Celestia said thing, it made everyone wonder how bad Lan was. Everyone was speechless. If the most magical... second most magical creature in Equestria couldn't help him, no one could. The doctors hurried off, remembering that there are more patients to be healed. All the Royal Guards left, ordered by Celestia. All that remained were the main six, Lan's friends, and Celestia. "I'm so sorry Twilight... I know you..." Celestia couldn't speak. "Can I go see him..." Before Celestia had a chance to say yes, Root butted in. "Be my guest." He stepped out of the doors way and Twilight rushed in. ~~~~~~~ "Oh Lan... what did he do to you..." Twilight was in total shock. She hadn't expected for him to actually lose his wings and horn. "Twilight..." Twilight popped up and started to rub against Lan. "Oh my god... Lan! Are you all right?" "Yes... Twilight... don't worry about me..." When Lan hugged Twilight back, he felt a rib crack, which then Twilight backed off. "LAN!!!" "That hurt... Twilight... I... I..." "Lan..." "I love you." Lan didn't hear Twilight cry. All he saw was a bright light. ~~~~~~~ > Chapter 14: Month > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 14: Month Authors note: This means the character was interrupted (-), this means that the character is thinking. Where am I... What happened to me. Lan woke up from his slumber. Thoughts collected in his mind. What happened... the fight... with... the Nameless... dragons...!!! Lan tried to move his non-existing wings, and as said, it didn't work. Damnit all... what the hell is on me right now... it's breathing... Twilight... Lan slowly opened his eyes and saw Twilight sleeping on him. Although Lan didn't want to move, he had to piss like a wanker. (Punslol) He slowly moved Twilight off him, allowing for her to continue her slumber. Lan stumbled out of his hospital bed, almost falling off. He slowly but surely made it to the restroom and... you know what... leave that your imagination. Once done, he moved to the mirror to wash his face. He splashed the water on his face. He looked at himself, noting his missing horn. The headaches were gone, but he wanted his 'damn' horn back. Lan sighed. He turned off the water and looked down at the mirror. He didn't see Lan Jenkins, he saw Lan Gin. Hero of Equestria. ...Fuck it. I'm going to save this world, no matter what. No one will stop me. I. Will. Be. Victorious. Lan heard water dropping, but it wasn't the sink. "L-l-lan..." Lan turned and saw Twilight, with a surprised look on her face. Like she saw a ghost. Like she is seeing a ghost. "LAN!!!" Twilight jumped on Lan, causing both of the pony's to land in the shower. Twilight started to rub on Lan, kissing him every so often. "...Lan..." Twilight said softly. "Yes Twilight." "I'm so happy that your awake..." Twilight started to cry. This time streams of tears. "The doctors said if you didn't wake up today, they were... going to..." "What Twili-" "THEY WERE GOING TO PULL THE PLUG!!!" Twilight sobbed on Lan. "Twilight..." "Lan..." Lan gave his signature smile. "My name is Lan Gin. You know i'm stronger than most!" Twilight smiled back. "I love you." "I love you too." The door opened, letting in two doctors. "Twilight! Twilight were ar- LAN!!! WHERES LAN!!!" "What?! Now wh... Twilight must of moved him! We told her not too. She gets way to emotional." Lan got up from the shower, and walked towards the doctors. "LAN?! By gorge your ok! I ca-" Lan took the doctor and slammed him into the wall, almost bursting through the wall. "Pull the plug on me now? I don't want that now!" Lan's smile turned into seriousness. "Now if you will excuse me, I have a date with the outside world." Lan let go of the doctor. "Nope, we have to run tests." "..." Lan looked at Twilight, which got out of the shower. "Fine." ~~~~~~~ After the tests, Lan and Twilight left together. It was a bright day. Lan knew what he had to do. "So Twilight... what happened?" "A lot of things... where to begin?" Twilight pondered in her mind. "A lot? How long was I out?" Lan was hoping not to hear those words. "One month. And about four weeks." "Damn... so where to begin?" "This one might surprise you, hold onto your hat!" Twilight started. Lan saw a awfully cheerful lady. "I'm not wearing a hat..." Twilight laughed. "Stop it! Your friend Blue Breeze-" "Ah Blue, how is he doing with Celestia?" "Their engaged." If Lan had anything in his mouth, he would of choked to death. "WHAT!!!???" "Root is trying to become a Royal Guard..." "WHAT!!!???" "Zero and Applejack are married now..." "WHAT!!!???" "It was a very exciting month and four weeks. If I were you, I would go see Blue and Root." Twilight smiled. "Where i'm going." Lan prepared for flight, but didn't take off. "Oh... that's right." He started to walk. Twilight shed a tear, and lit her horn. ~~~~~~~ Lan had appeared in the throne room. He say a meeting was going on. One that he wasn't invited to. "SON OF A-" Lan looked around. "Oh, am I interrupting something?" "Yes, now get out before I rip your throat out." One of the guards started. "LAN?!" He heard a very unexpected, yet expected duo say. "Is that you?" "The one and only." "Dismissed for now!" He had heard Blue say that, but why... As the crowd dispersed, Lan had saw what happened. Blue was crowned prince of Equestria. "Well, well, well, if it isn't little Blue. Watcha doin in the big boys chair?" Blue couldn't help but smile. "Well maybe if you don't stop getting hurt all the time, maybe you can see Twilight now a days." Lan chuckled at that. It was true. "Lan, you have no idea what happened while you were out, do you?" Celestia started. "I know, Blue is engaged to you, Zero is married, Root is going for Royal. Blabbity blah." "And the Nameless are about to strike." Celestia finished. "Hm." "Lan, i'm sorry, but as prince of Equestria... I can't join you for your final battle." "I know. I would of have told you to stay anyways. As with Zero." "Zero is ready for it. He's not the person you should be worrying about." Celestia finished off her letter and sent it with a puff of magic. "I give five seconds." Lan could hear four ticks in his mind. The front door burst open and what looked like a missile heading towards Lan. It hit Lan hard, yet soft to the touch. "You know Root, i'm not that fragile." "You just got out of the hospital and you go see stinky ass over here? I'm offended!" "As am I... ass." Blue retorted back. "Get off of me please..." Lan gasped for air as Root did what he said. "Thanks." "Lan, go see Zero and Applejack. You won't believe what happened." Celestia smiled, as did Root and Blue joined. "Teleport me." "As you wish, my lord." "Hey I should be saying that to yo-" Lan was gone. "You think hes ok?" Blue started. "Please, this is Lan were talking about. He's fine." Celestia responded. "I hope so... the time is about to come. Lan needs to be fully prepared." ~~~~~~~ Lan flashed in front of Zero. "WHAT THE FU... oh no..." Zero dropped he bucket of apples. "What, lost your green card?" Lan brushed himself off. (umad) "... LAN!!!" Zero tried to jump on Lan, but Lan dodged with ease. "Where's your wife damnit...?" "Behind you." Zero pointed behind Lan. (Naw dip, he pointed at the ground and said look a bird.) Lan turned around, and was shell shocked. "A-A-A-A-A-A-APPLEJACK?!" Lan couldn't help but gaze at her. She let her hair out, a lot. And she wasn't wearing her hat. Bonus points. "Well hey there Lan! Nice seeing you again!" As Applejack closed on Lan, he noticed something odd. "Hey Applejack, not to be rude, but you got fat." Lan help out his hooves in the air and acted honest. "Just being honest with you." Applejack giggled, Zero wanted to kill Lan. "I'm not fat, i'm pregnant." Lan held back... he couldn't resist much longer. If he did it, Zero would kill him. He let it out. "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????????" "I hate you Lan..." Zero said. "Don't worry baby, we can do make-up sex later." Lan straightened his invisible tie. "Well I have to go puke now because my brain gave me images. Bye!" "Bye Lan! See you later!" "Make-up sex?" "I don't know dear, I don't know." ~~~~~~~ "Are you ready sir?" "Yes I am more than ready! I got my armor, my weapons, my army, and someone finally made me TACOS!" "Um, yes sir..." "Yes, time for Operation: Conquest to being! No one will stop us! Not even La-" "Lan? He won't be a problem... and what are you doing in MY throne?" ~~~~~~~ P.S. The big battle is about to begin. Submit those character bios and we can start this dead puppy off... wait... what...? P.S.S Also the green card joke, don't take that seriously. That for for Zero. Worth anything. Ever. > Chapter 15: Disaster > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 15: Disaster Author notes: Depending what I think of, the winner will be announced tomorrow. Probably not, but then again. One Week After Lan woke up. He had peaceful night with Twilight, and of course that means what everyone is thinking. They cuddled and went to bed. Perverts. Anyways, Lan gazed at Twilight. He had felt this way before, but didn't know why. Even when you sleep your so elegant... "Hmm. Wha... Oh Lan..." Twilight seemed to have read Lan's thoughts. She came closer to Lan, holding Lan in her arms. "Wait... TODAY'S THE DAY!!!" This sudden outburst scared both Spike and Lan, sending both out of their beds. "Oh... that's right! I got to get ready!" Spike said joyfully. He went into his stuff and got a tux. Lan didn't want to know why he had a tux, but then Twilight beckoned him into the shower. After which said shower, Lan had dried off thanks to Twilight's magic, and he went to go get breakfast. "So Twi, whats this all about?" "Twi?" Twilight had called out in a confused manner. I don't think she has been called a nickname before... "Just get your best suit on!" Lan climbed the stairs, "I don't have a suit..." Just then a tux landed on Lan's face. "Ugh... fine..." Lan put on the Tux, with a little help from Twilight, and they went outside. "So Twilight... whats this all about?" "How do you not know? Its been spreading like fire!" Spike said. "Ya, how could you not know about it?" "DON"T BLAME ME! Wait... why are we just standing on the front porch?" Just then, a chariot being pulled by two pegasus came and landed in the front of the house. Both Twilight and Spike hopped on the cart, Lan stayed back. "No..." "Lan! Please get on, your not in trouble." "Well, I know but... look just tell me whats going on!" One of the stallions looked at Lan like he was crazy. "It's Celestia's wedding... how did you..." "..." Lan froze. What the hell, WHAT THE HELL, WHAT THE HELL!!! I'm not prepared for this! Shit, shit, shit, shit, think! THINK!!! Lan got on and sat near Twilight. ~~~~~~~ At the wedding, Lan felt weird for not knowing this. He knew that Celestia was engaged to Blue but... why?! Lan felt a stinging in his gut, telling him something was about to go wrong. He ignored it as soon as he saw how heavily guarded the room was. As he entered the wedding room, or what ever the fuck you call it, he saw that it was not just big, but HUGE. It was holding just about every living creature in Equestria. Lan looked around and saw that they were pretty damn late, considering that there was no room left. Twilight saw his expression. "Follow me!" Lan followed and noted to hide Spike's tux, he looked too damn adorable. It turns out that they had front row seats, exclusive to the main six and family and Lan's friends. Lan had noticed that Root was nowhere to be seen. Then he saw it. Root, as it turns out, was Blue's best man. Lucky bastard, well 'least I don't have to stand upfront of a crap load of people... After what seemed like ages of conversations and complaining, mostly from Rainbow Dash, the wedding started. Lan saw Blue's nervousness and Lan gave Root a stare that said it all. Root said something to Blue that calmed him. Lan wanted to know what he said. Just then Celestia came through the doors, all dressed out and everything. She looked stunning, absolutely marvelous. Lan could notice Blue holding in his blush. Lan's gut hit him hard, begging to stop the wedding. Lan felt it too, for what ever it was, it was going to make this day very bad. Either that or there will be fireworks. I like firewor- Lan noticed Luna, by Celestia's side, looking even better than Celestia. Twilight gave him a nudge. She had noticed Lan's staring. Please don't go bad on me day! Please! ~~~~~~~ The wedding was boring, a little different than human ways, usually they do the, 'speak no or forever hold your peace' bullshit where everyone just shuts the hell up at the start of the thing, but now he could see that they do it at the end. Lan hated weddings, but it was for a friend. A friend he didn't want to lose. Lan's gut hit him again, this time as hard as possible. Twilight had noticed it too and softly said, "Whats wrong?" "My gut says something bad is about to happen... why..." "And now, speak UP... or forever hold your peace." Sweat ran down Lan's head, his eyes closed, pacing in his mind. Silence. Maybe nothing was going to happen af- "I OBJECT!" The voice boomed from the back. Everyone gasped. Lan shot up, flipped and landing facing down the isle. He saw a cloaked unknown and a Nameless. Root stepped in, guarding both his friend and Celestia. It was his job as a Royal, well soon to be. Lan saw Zero stand up, but then he saw the anger in his eyes. He saw the Nameless. He stepped back down, figuring he might as well not die in the cross-fire and get killed by Lan. "What are you doing here!" Lan shouted, incredibly pissed off. "But I just wanted to let Princessssss..." His words strung out like a... a... creep. "Celestia know how I feel about this, for you see, I LOVE YOU!!!" "I'LL KILL YO-... what?" Lan got hit hard by this hit, and so did Blue. "Naw just kidding, hey man, do your thing." The cloaked unknown reached inside his cloak. Lan saw fingers. It can't be... He pulled out a shiny, silver object, and pointed it down the isle. "NO, GET DOWN!!!" "Wait..." The crowd pulsed with fear and confusion. "One thing, how dare you not have taco's in your world!" The man fired three shots. Lan dodged the bullets with ease. "It's going to take some aiming before you hit me!" The Nameless pointed behind him. Lan turned his head around in complete fear. Blood had been sprayed across the wall, and a white Princess on the ground, soaked in blood. ~~~~~~~ ... > Chapter 16: Murder > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 16: Murder Why now... why ever. The Princess, the beloved Princess Celestia, murdered at her own wedding. It isn't fair. The room was silent, dead silent. No one responded to it. It was like it didn't happen. Pony's stared as their Princess laid on the floor, dead. Lan turned to the killers, and was starstruck to see that they showed no remorse what so ever. "Why..." Lan started to cry with the rest of the crowd. "WHY!!!" "You see, if we get rid of Celestia, which we just did, it will be easier to take over this puny world!" The Nameless started to laugh. "You guys look so funny, here let me show you what you guys look like." He started to make faces, obviously not one person is making them. "..." Lan thought to himself. Anger and denial. He couldn't control it for much longer. "C-c-c-celestia... CELESTIA!!! NO!!!" Blue broke the silence. "WHY!!! WHY DID THEY DO THIS TO YOU!!!" Why... WHY... WHY!!! Lan started to feel tingly. He's body felt power running in the veins. He braced for battle, and shot forward towards the enemies. His body felt stronger and stronger as he pressed on through the long lanes. As he reached the Nameless, their eyes became fear, as Lan didn't know his body was surrounded by pure magic. Magic that wanted blood. His eyes had turned into a pure light purple hue, and his body was glowing with intense magic. "DIE!!!" Lan uppercutted the Nameless pony, and kicked the sweet spot on the human. The human hit the ground hard. Lan lifted the pony with his magic, and slung him through the door and out a window, falling off the castle. "You, human, tell me where your base is." Lan had said, but his voice was different. Almost robotic, but with the sweet sound of angels. "Never. I... I... won't... will... NEVER!!!" The human broke through Lan's magic. He grabbed Lan and jumped off the building, straight where the other one. Sadly he landed upright and is still alive. Lan's magic went berserk as Lan's emotions flared. It stabbed the human and pointed him under Lan. As they hit the ground, Lan's magic protected Lan as he hit the ground, allowing Lan to be face to face with the killer. "I'm not going to kill you." Lan said. "Well that's a relief, hey how about we go get some-" "I'm going to keep you in a basement and torture you." "... well that's violent." "It will be." The magic pulsed around the Nameless and put him in a cocoon of magic. With that, the magic died down and Lan was himself again. Lan looked at the blood stained balcony. He avoided the blood as he grabbed the Nameless and walked off. ~~~~~~~ Before Lan could enter the wedding room, he had to check in with the Royal Guards first. They evacuated everyone after Lan had jumped off the building. He was aloud entry due to the fact that he was the one that took out the bad guys. "Lan... what was that thing... that you called a... human?" Applejack had walked over to Lan Lan dropped the body. "You shouldn't be worring about that, worry about them." He pointed to the small crowd around Celestia, crying. "I'm sorry..." "Don't be. No one could stop was about to happen." "I know..." She started to cry again, Lan got close to her. "It's ok..." Lan shed a couple of tears before Applejack trotted back to the crowd. Lan sat in one of the nearby seats. He didn't know what to do. Princess Celestia, dead. Ok... Lan looked at the cocooned Nameless. "The shit i'm going to do to you." ~~~~~~~ Lan left the group for their grieving, for he could not stand the crying. He slowly went to his house, not Twilight's, and took a nap. He was tired and didn't feel like doing anything, except remember. His eyes slowly shut, and Lan was taken into dream land. 5 hours later. Lan woke up. He didn't have a dream, his mind just repeated the bloody scene over and over again. As he slowly got out of bed, he noticed his magic was still holding the Nameless hostage. Lan smiled at that and picked up the Nameless. "Come on now, were going to Twilight's." "Yay!" The sound was muffled but Lan could still make out the word. "Where I will beat the fuck out of you and let my friends beat you." "Aw." \Twilight's House/ As Lan stepped in the doorway, he saw Luna, spike, the main 6, and his friends around Twilight that was laying on the couch crying. Lan noted in his mind that Twilight must of taken the death the hardest, seeing as it looks like she cant even stand. Blue approached Lan. "Hey... um... let me guess, the Nameless." "The things i'm going to do to him." "Don't forget about me. I want my turn... turns." Blue felted depressed. The only thing that could cheer him up is seeing Celestia one last time, but then again. Lan opened the basement door, which was never mentioned in the show, and threw the Nameless in it. The Nameless rolled down the flight of stairs, bumping into each stair as he fell. Lan closed the door and walked through the crowd and layed next to Twilight. He did nothing but use his warmth as a protective for Twilight. "I know she meaned a lot to you, and i'm going to fix it." Twilight continued her crying. Lan felt the depression around. Murder was rare in Equestria. Everypony is taught to love and respect one another, not kill one another, and since the Princess of Equestria was the target, the streets will be full of crying and weeping. Stick to your friends, help only your partners. Destroy all corrupt, blacken their hopes. Live by love, live by friends, live by good, live by hope. Lan started to chant his oath. As the second one came, Root joined in. Then Blue and Zero, the Luna and the 6. "Guys, we can do this. We can stop this evil!" Zero started. "The Namless will fear us when we are done with them!They shall feel what we are capable of!" "Hm... lets do this." Root said calmly. "But... what about us?" Rainbow Dash said. Lan stood up on the couch. (Que epic music) "This is out battle. From the start, these guys knew what power I had. They knew that the only way to ensure their victory was by getting rid of me. They sent one after the other and here I stand. They may have taken my powers away, but they haven't taken my will for justice! This is it boys, the day we get information and stop the Nameless." Just then, Spike felt a message coming up. He burmped out a Royal letter and it fell into the magic of Twilight. "Its... a letter... FROM CELESTIA!!!" "WHAT!!!" Blue shot out, pushing people to see. "It's to Lan." Twilight handed (I ain't making some damn war over this.) over the letter to Lan. Lan jumped off the couch and started to read it. Dear Lan, I don't have much power in me, so please read this carefully. As you know, I am dead. Don't let this stop you from reaching your goal. Destroy the Nameless. Teach them what it means to be a Equestrian. Tell Blue I love him, and he is now King. Root is his personal bodyguard. He is now a Royal Guard. Before you go off to find the Nameless, read these words carefully. You should know that Discord is imprisoned in stone in Canterlot. Free him. Trust me, he knows what hes doing. There is also another pony you must seek. I don't know details but he is shy. Tell Luna and Twilight and everypony that I love them. You are a hero. Lan cried. Getting this letter meant everything to him, but its more important to everypony than him. Lan gave the letter to Blue, which read it out loud. ~~~~~~~ > Chapter 17: The Enemy of my Enemy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 17: The Enemy of my Enemy The room was in silence. Blue had read the letter out loud, crying. Everyone's minds were in lock down. They were processing the letter as if it was a will to a rich man. Blue is now King. Root is now a Royal and is now the bodyguard for Blue. There was another pony we must find, and with only a bit of information. And most importantly, the Discord part. "How can we be sure that Celestia wrote that?" Rainbow Dash shot at Blue. "It's Celestia. I know." Lan spoke for Blue. "Hm?" "What are we going to do?" Fluttershy spoke out. "What we are going to do is find that pony and free Discord. Girls, get your elements." "Wait..." Twilight spoke. "If your going, i'm going with you." "No your not." Lan had saw it coming. "Lan, I have-" "NO MEANS NO!!! YOU ARE NOT GOING AND THAT'S FINAL!!!" Everyone in the room could tell Lan's emotions sky rocketed when he said that. He didn't want her to go. "Look... i'm sorry but... its to dangerous." "No Lan. We are all going. If we don't go, who will be there to help you?" "Root will. Only me and Root are going." "No Lan. I'm going too." Blue spoke up from his tears. "Me too!" Zero looked ready for anything. "Zero, you have to stay with Applejack and Blur... your king..." "No, I don't care." "We are all in this together, whether you want us too or not." Rarity said. "No, I don't want anyone to die." "Um... Lan... look... I know we haven't said much to each other but... i'm your friend!" Fluttershy started. "People want to help you and your denying it because your scared to what would happen. Some want to fight for their land. Some want revenge for their loved ones. And some want to protect you. If anything, I would sacrifice my life for Equestria. You can't push me away, i'm going with you." "Fluttershy..." "Shes right! If your going, i'm going!" Pinkie jumped with joy. "Shes right. You could use a little beauty at your side!" Rarity swayed her hair. "I want payback for what those goons did!" Rainbow Dash punched her hoofs together. "Even though in my current state, i'm still going." Applejack went to Zero's side. "And magic makes it all complete!" Twilight lit her horn. All of a sudden, a bright flash appeared, as the elements of harmony clamped to each main 6. "Lets do this!" The girls jumped with glee. Luna clapped... somehow. The mini party was interrupted as the door burst open, allowing one pony to come through it. Lan jumped over the partiers and tackled the blue pegasus. "GET DOWN!!!" "OH... i'm sorry... I thought something bad happened here... -squeal-." The pegasus had a blue body and yellow mane and tail. Obvious he was shy and didn't like everyone staring at him. Lan could tell that he was neither a Nameless nor a regular pony. Lan got of of the mysterious pegasus. "Sorry, thought you were a Nameless." "..." The blue one blushed and left running. "Who was that gu... pony..." Lan was slipping. "Don't know... haven't seen him around." Pinkie said. "Well... lets get to Discords statue." Everyone nodded. ~~~~~~~ "It should be around here somewhere... AH!" Luna escorted the pony's through Canterlot and through the guards. "It's a good thing your around, we would have never got through those weird meany guards!" Pinkie was hopping the entire walk. Luna smiled and lit her horn. "Twilight... I might need some help." "But Princess, you know I can't do something that advanced!" "I just need you to register some magic to me. I'll handle the rest." Luna and Twilight pointed their horns at the statue and fired away, with no result. "Well it was worth a try. I knew I should have studied more..." Luna thought to herself. "Maybe we can use the elements..." Fluttershy said. "Nope. It wouldn't work." The group thought. "It seems you pony's need some help..." A familiar scared voice said. "Hey its you!" The mysterious one went up to Lan and whispered to him. "I know how to get past the barrier." "Well first whats your name?" The pony looked around. "My name is Arrell. I heard what you pony's were doing so... can I join you..." "Well..." "If you don't want me I understand... I just..." "Your in. Help us get to Discord." "No..." "Wha... WHY!?" Lan shot out. "Look... lets talk alone..." "Fine..." They moved to the side so that no one can hear them. "I'm scared..." "Why?" "What if he tries to come out and destroy the world like he did in the show?" "He isn't go-..." Lan realized what he said. "Brony?" "Oh my god..." "Don't worry..." Lan checked around. "Me, Root, Blue, and Zero are bronies." "Can I ask you a question?" "Go for it!" "Would you like to be my friend?" This outburst confused Lan. "Arrell... we are friends." Arrell smiled and walked towards the statue. Lan went with him. "There is a password to unlock it. I know the pass." "What is it?" Luna said. "Twilight." "Yes?" Twilight had been talking to Applejack about something. What ever it was, Lan would never know. "No the password is Twilight." "Well... that was simple..." "There's more. Celestia has to enter it." "..." The crowd fell silent. "Not to worry! Luna can enter it as well. But... there is another password to that as well." "Whats that one?" "Don't know! The guards I was spying on didn't know!" "Wha..." Luna was speechless. Lan thought. Think... Celestia knew that there was a password. She would have to tell us. The first is Twilight and the other is... DAMNIT. Ok think, remember the letter. Dear Lan, I don't have much power in me, so please read this carefully. As you know, I am dead. Don't let this stop you from reaching your goal. Destroy the Nameless. Teach them what it means to be a Equestrian. Tell Blue I love him, and he is now King. Root is his personal bodyguard. He is now a Royal Guard. Before you go off to find the Nameless, read these words carefully. You should know that Discord is imprisoned in stone in Canterlot. Free him. Trust me, he knows what hes doing. There is also another pony you must seek. I don't know details but he is shy. Tell Luna and Twilight and everypony that I love them. You are a hero. She writes quickly. Too quickly. Find Twilight... Tell Luna and Twilight and everypony that I love them. Twilight was the first password. But how would we figure out if it was a password without... There is also another pony you must seek. I don't know details but he is shy. Arrell, she wanted us to find him. "Hey Arrell, when did you spy on those guards..." "While back. Before... well you know... Celestia." Did Celestia know that he was spying? Maybe... "Why hello there. You probably know who I am, as I know who you are, Lan Jenkins." She know even that! But then that means... if she knew that Arrell would know the pass, she would put them close together... Tell Luna and Twilight and everypony that I love them. Why did she add just Twilight and Luna... unless... "I KNOW THE PASSWORD!!!" "What!" Arrell shot out before anyone else could. "Try Luna." "Well that's not going to work..." Arrell said disappointingly. Luna worked her magic and she backed off without anything happening. Arrell taught here to do the password while Lan was thinking. "Nothing." Luna said. THINK LAN THINK!!! Why would she put Luna first... unless... "Try Luna and Twilight..." Luna tried and nothing happened. Think outside the box... outside the box... OUTSIDE THE BOX!!! "THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!!! THAT'S IT!!! We need to think outside the box! Blue wheres that letter!" "Right here." He pulled out the letter, which seemed to come out of nowhere. Dear Lan, I don't have much power in me, so please read this carefully. As you know, I am dead. Don't let this stop you from reaching your goal. Destroy the Nameless. Teach them what it means to be a Equestrian. Tell Blue I love him, and he is now King. Root is his personal bodyguard. He is now a Royal Guard. Before you go off to find the Nameless, read these words carefully. You should know that Discord is imprisoned in stone in Canterlot. Free him. Trust me, he knows what hes doing. There is also another pony you must seek. I don't know details but he is shy. Tell Luna and Twilight and everypony that I love them. You are a hero. You are a hero. "Try 'You are a hero'." Luna worked her magic, and everyone heard a click. The statue rumbled. "I'M FREE!!!" Discord broke out, spinning in the air. "Ah, Lan! How nice to finally see you! Celestia told wonders about you! I... am at your service." ~~~~~~~ > Chapter 18: Hate and Love > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 18: Hate and Love ." Everyone was staring at Discord. No one had gotten use to the fact that that Equestria's number one convict was helping the good guys. "Sooo, your on our side now?" Pinkie asked. "Because if you are, I don't think I can trust you." "You have your right to be my little pony." Discord said happily. "Where's Celestia?" "..." The group stopped. Repressed memories come back in a horrible fashion of pain and misery. "Guys..." Discord happiness turned into concern. "Please tell me..." "Shes gone." Blue spoke. "Shes gone forever. One of the Nameless killed her at her wedding." "... I suppose you have him captive..." "Yes!" Said Lan, pushing back his sadness. "He's in Twilight's basement." "Take me to him. NOW!!!" ~~~~~~~ The crowd dispersed back to their homes. Only Lan, Twilight, and Discord went back to Twilight's. The plan had been set. On the day after tomorrow, they head out, bringing only essentials and equipment with them. The team will be put into two groups. Team Alpha and Omega. Alpha consisting of; Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack, Luna, Blue, and Zero. Team Omega consists of; Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Fluttershy, Discord, Root, and of course Lan. The only plan they got right now is that Alpha is distraction. "Where is he." Discord busted down the door, which Twilight fixed with her magic. "I'll kill that bastard." "No killing. Interrogation. Find out his plans. Beat him to near death and take your time with him. I'll call you to come back up." "Fine." Discord went to the basement, locking the doors. "So what do we do Lan?" Twilight gazed at Lan's blank eyes, looking deep into repressed memories of tricks and pranks. "Twilight, if we don't make it, I want you to know that I love you..." "Lan, I know this. I love you too. We both love each other more than the world." "That's not all... I want to make you know that I love you." "Being let loose, eh?" Lan smiled at Twilight's eyes and headed up stairs. ~~~~~~~ 4 Hours Later "That felt amazing Lan..." Twilight gasped for air, as she had hit her climax point for the ninth time. Lan passed Twilight's guard and kissed her. "I love you." "I don't want to lose you Lan. It wouldn't be the same without the one I love." Twilight started to cry on Lan, which was then covered by Lan kissing her again, this time being long. "Well you two love birds seem to be done, I got some juicy intel one that guy." Discord came from the shadow. "Wha... WHAT!!!" Lan reacted to the voice and covered both him and Twilight's body with the wet blanket. "How long where you there?" "I'd say around the fourth climax for Twilight..." Discord chipped at his finger nails. "LEAVE!!! NOW!!!" It wasn't Lan, but Twilight who spoke from under Lan's body, which was also wet. "Fine then. I'll be waiting downstairs. Clean yourselves up, we are going to need to lower the date when we attack." With a snap of Discords fingers, he teleported downstairs. "Shower?" Lan said. "Please..." ~~~~~~~ 4 hours earlier Discord walked down the stairs, bracing for attack. There was none. What he saw caught him off guard, as the prisoner had made himself a home in the basement, complete with fireplace, table and chairs, and bed. "What the fuck?" Discord said. "Ah! Discord! I had been expecting you! Take a seat!" He pointed to a seat to perfectly fit Discord. he ignored it and went straight to the point. Discord lunged at the Nameless, grabbing him by the neck and slamming him into the wall. "Why did you fucking do it? Why did you kill Celestia?" "Because I had too silly! Who else would of do-" "SHUT THE HELL UP!!!" Discord threw the pony against the opposite wall. With a snap of Discords fingers, they teleported into what humans would call hell, but it wasn't. It was filled with fire and lava, blood and flesh. Flying sorts and odd objects that didn't belong. This was Discords mind. "I'll tell you everything you need to know." The Nameless shaking with anticipation, as he was dieing to do so. "I hate traitors." Discord watched as upside down trees held the Nameless, choking him. "Fine, I won't tell you." The trees backed off. "Ok, here it goes! You might want to take some notes. Ok, so the fight with me and Lan and that other guy was staged! It was too short for a actual fight, obviously. We had it planned that the human would die and I would get captured by you!" "But why." "Simple really! To tell you this..." The Nameless pulled out a razor. "We are sending a army of soldiers to over take the throne. No one is safe. We will grant immunity if you back down... back down from your plan. The Nameless are too strong. We have many men, willing to kill those we hate." The Nameless sliced his neck, causing blood to flow out and killing Malord. ~~~~~~~ "Staged... I knew they were faking it. Seemed too easy." Lan pondered to the thought of why he killed himself. "So what are we going to do?" Twilight asked. "Gather everyone and bring them back here. NOW!!!" ~~~~~~~ "Here's the plan. Team Alpha will enter first, causing damage silently to the lower parts. When the base is on full alert, we sneak in through the back, Team Omega of course, and engage the leader. We kill him and we destroy the base. Team Alpha will exit once they get a note from Twilight, which will be sent with Spike, and will regroup outside far enough from the explosion that Discord will cause." "Sounds easy enough. This is it, isn't it?" Zero said, keeping Applejack close to him. Lan knew that he had the same idea as he did. "It is. We have to go full contact with this plan. No fall backs." Lan said forcefully. "What happens if we get caught?" Luna said. "Magic. Use all the force you can do. Shape shift if you had too." Lan thought of everything. "What if we can't find the leader?" Blue shot out. "There will be a slacker. There is always one." Tomorrow will be the day that we fight. Not for us, but for Equestria. Even if I go to hell, I need to keep Twilight safe. They don't know that I will be the only casualty. > Chapter 19: INFILTRATION > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 19: INFILTRATION The plan was set. Discord had the make shift bomb that Zero made, which for some reason he was good at but no one questioned him, and Lan was getting mentally prepared. Lan was meditating on the couch with Twilight at his side. He told everyone not to disturb him or he would kill them in a very violent manner. Discord held back a giggle when he said that. It has been one hour since that and Lan is still unprepared for his journey, but as time goes by, Root gets fed up with it. "Ok. Lan, were going now. You can stay here and mope and pray but it isn't going to solve anything. If I were you, I would get my fat ass of the couch and go and do the plan we are all hoping to go by." Lan smiled and quietly said. "It's about time. Root, your my right hand pony. Lets go!" This sudden surprise shocked everyone, and annoyed others. "Ok, Luna would you do us the teleportation spell thingy now." "... Ugh what?! Oh, that's right!" Luna got distracted and was filing her hoof. "Um, remember. As I tried to do it earlier they had a magic shield around them, blocking off all others who try to get passed." "That's where I come in!" Discord said tauntingly. "Yes, lets go." Lan said eagerly. He wanted payback on the bastard who took his horn and wings. "Wait!" Twilight started, "I almost forgot something!" Twilight trotted upstairs and came back down with a necklace. "Take it Lan, its a good look charm." Twilight put it on Lan. "Hey what ever happened to Arrell?" Blue asked. "Said he had to do something important." Luna answered. "Lets go!" ~~~~~~~ Unknown Location At the front door of the infamous Nameless HQ, the hero's waited. They teleported to the outskirts of the HQ, and walked the rest. As Luna expected, near and inside the place, magic was aloud, but only authorized pony's were aloud too. Too bad for them because Luna overpowered it, allowing her to preform magic at will. "Alpha, create a distractions on the lower level. Create... chaos and when we give the signal, teleport to us." Lan started. "Lan, we went over this a dozen times. We got it." With that, Luna, Blue, Zero, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie, disappeared into a smoke. While they wait, Lan continued to prepare his mind for the sudden invasion. This was happening too quickly for Lan. Lan looked over and by his side, Twilight pushed herself to him. As they cuddled, Lan could feel Root nod in approval. To Lan, Root was just another brony, stuck in a pony's body. Root saved him multiple times, and Lan wasn't going to live it down. "So Root, chances are that we will meet the one that damned me. What will you do?" Lan questioned. Twilight perked up from her transfer of body heat and listened. "Protect and serve. When I meet him, i'll do the same he did to you." "The only thing I ask for is for me to talk to him, got it?" "Fine." "And what makes you think your going to have all the fun?" Rainbow dash started, "If it was up to me, i'm sure Celestia would of put this job to me!" "Um... Rainbow Dash... maybe we shouldn't be aggravating Lan like that. Remember when his magic cut us off when he came here?" Discord laughed. "Maybe if my little dashie wasn't so uptight, maybe you would be able to do that!" Discord continued his little chuckle. "WHY I SHOULD JU-" "Do what? Fly me to death?" "Um, guys?" Fluttershy tried to calm the two, but with no success as they couldn't hear her. "MAYBE I WILL!!!" "Come at thy." Discord put a target on his chest. "Can you please-" "THAT'S IT!!!" "QUIET!!!" The air went dead silent. "WE are a TEAM! Not a group of enemies! WE should be working together to accomplish our goal. Please stop fighting." Rainbow Dash folded her arms, as did Discord. "Thank you Fluttershy!" Lan said. Lan feared what was going to happen. If this would continue on the battlefield, he and his friends will die. Everyone heard a explosion. Lan went to the door and tried to pick-lock it. A handy skill if you have fingers. Root got bored and entered the password. -Click- "Did it! Lets go!" Lan trotted inside, unaware of the face-hoofing that was being done. ~~~~~~~ Luna thought to herself, how could I make a good distraction? She looked around her fellow comrades and noticed they had no idea what they were doing. Blue was protecting Luna, as then Zero was protecting Applejack. Pinkie was breaking the forth wall and Rarity was complaining. Luna decided to do what she liked to do on the moon. Countless days wasted doing nothing but her favorite things. "Ok everypony! We are doing this Luna style." They had decided to find the pipes for this job. Water to heating to strange substances, Luna was going to enjoy this. "What do you have in mind?" Said Blue. He was getting scared. "OOOHHH does it involve PARTIES!!!" Pinkie gasped with joy. "Hopefully a makeover." Rarity avoided a mysterious substance on the ground. "What do you think made the holes in the moon?" Luna smiled. ~~~~~~~ "Now pony's, even though I worked here, doesn't mean I know my way around. I was still kinda new to the place when I left." Team Omega was running down the halls. What ever that explosion did, it cleared everyone out. "Well as long as we find- PERFECT!" Lan grabbed a slacker that was asleep on the ground. Lan said while shacking the pony. "Hey wheres your boss?" "Wha... OH SHIT!!! UM... I'LL NEVER TELL YOU!!!" "Your loud as shit." Root said. "Hey Root! NEVER!!!" Root pulled out his sword. "DOWN THE HALL, TO YOUR RIGHT, SECOND LEFT. YOU CANT MISS IT!!!" "Lets go!" The team ran down the halls, dodging left and right through boxes and other pony's. As the pony said, they couldn't miss it. Before they went in, Lan stopped. "Root, signal the others. I'm going in." Lan said. Before Root could say anything, Lan rushed in. "God damnit." "What?" Rainbow Dash said. ~~~~~~~ The room, the throne room. It was like Celestia's throne room... but blacker. "Well if it isn't Lan! How are you doing?" The pony said on the throne. He sounded serious. There, next to him, was another. One with a horn. Lan's target. "So you noticed me, eh?" The pony came out. "My name is X." "Well X, i'm not here for you. Move aside." X moved in Lan's way. "That would be to easy now would it." The door was busted in, and the rest of the group came in. Root, Blue, and Zero hit Lan's side as fast as anyone could count. "Your friends... quite a... bother?" X smiled. "Time for a little magic!" As X's horn glowed, Lan and his friends were shielded by Luna's magic. It hit too quickly. ... What happened...! The fight!... I feel... different... why do I feel cloth on my chest... clothes... shit. Lan got up fast. He checked his body. He was human again. As awesome as this felt, now that the Nameless are all going to feel pain, but now he could see what his friends looked like. Zero was a Mexican with a short haircut. Age prediction, 17. Blue was a white, slightly buff guy. Age prediction, 20. With Root, Lan didn't know. He was still in his pony form. Lan didn't care though, for he and his friends were pulsed back by X's magic. Lan looked up and say Twilight and Luna gazing upon him. In human form. Naked. "GAH!!!" Lan jumped up, as did Blue and Zero. While others were testing their... body... Lan and Zero were more focused on their loved. Discord started to laugh. "You guys look weird! Oh Celestia I should get this on camera." Discord was also still in his normal state. Zero looked around. He saw Lan was preoccupied so he grabbed Applejack and started walking out of the throne. Lan saw it. Lan grabbed Zero's shoulder and talked to him alone. "What do you think your doing?" "Dude, look at her. I HAVE to do this." Lan's nose dropped a drop of blood. "No your not." Lan started to drag Zero back. As soon as he let go, Zero made his way to Applejack and went outside. "Hey get back he-" Lan followed Zero and decided to close the door. Images. "Anyways... why did you do this?" "I thought it would be fun!" Lan looked at everyone's state. Mostly just playing with their new boobs. Lan cast that away. "So, are we going to fight now?" Lan pulled out Roots sword. "What do you think?" Lan jolted for X, barely missing. "Too slow!" Lan pulled the sword and twisted for X. The sword scratched X and he let out a moan of pain. Seeing this, the others knew they had to do something. Root jumped up, and launched for X, but all he was able to do was be a distraction as he was pushed back by X's powerful magic. That's when Blue jumped in, letting out a battle cry as his arms grabbed X, and threw him towards Lan. Lan being so close to the scene hadn't prepared for it quick enough. All he could do was duck, allowing X to get near the girls. "Hey baby's, how are you enjoying the show?" X asked. Discord leaped on him, sawing that it was his time to shine, and started to claw into X. After a couple quick claw attacks, X had a time to speak. "You know, I find it funny that you got over Princess Celestia's death. It isn't quite easy getting over someone you love. Discord, I know all about it. The time you spent with her, the flowers, even the dates. Discord, she didn't love you." Bought back, Discord's face filled with mixed emotions. Thoughts spinning out of control as repressed memories flooded Discord's mind. "Sh- SHUT UP!!!" Discord started to choke him. He didn't even feel surge of power X was sending him. Discord was flown into the air, rescuing X. X got up and looked at the group of girls sitting down. He felt it was too easy to let them go, with their shield around them. He wondered why they haven't left. That's when he noticed power. Strong power. Sweat started to drop off his face. What was this powerful force? That's when the wall to the left of the king exploded, sending a fire ball the size of a house going straight for him. He tried to teleport out of the way, but wasn't fast enough. Luckily as stated before, the girls had a shield around them, holding back the fire doom in front of them. Lan who had jumped out of the way, stared in disbelief at the two friendlies who stood, no flew in front of him. "Miss me?" Arrell said, standing on top of Lucy, Luna's pet dragon. Lucy let out a cry of joy as she saw her lifelong friend there, but she looked different. "ARRELL!!!" Blue yelled, "Why don't you help us?" Arrell, responding to Blue's cry, leaped off of Lucy. As he fell, his body transformed into what looked like a 15 year old. He pulled out a small dagger and slid towards Lan. He grabbed Lan's shoulder, pushing Lan as he stabbed the air. Blood trickled down the dagger and on the floor. X appeared. "Why you little!" X took Arrell and uppercutted him, sending him flying, knocked out. "I'll teach you to mess with me." He pulled out a gun and shot Arrell in the chest. Lan looked at disbelief as his new friend was hurt. Lan pushed all his pain and blamed it on him. He felt guilty that he had to feel a bullet going through him, as Lan had been shot. "You see that Lan? That's what happens when you mess with the Nameless. People die. All because of you." "SHUT UP!!!" Lan reached for X but stopped. He felt something go threw him that nothing had done before, complete sadness. Arrell stopped breathing. This set off Lan, slashing towards X with Roots sword, not minding his friends what so ever. He was completely pissed. X decided to have fun with this. "You won't kill me Lan, you don't have what it takes to murder someone." Lan ignored him and continued his pointless slashing. "Who do you think will win if you actually do defeat us? Not you. You go straight to Hell after this." Twilight paused. "What do you mean?" Lan froze in his tracks, begging not tell tell more. "You see Twilight, once Lan defeats us, which won't happen, he will be sent to Hell. Why you ask? Because Lan lied to you. He's been doing it since the start." "SHUT UP X!!!" X ignored. "He was once a human, like he is now, and back in his human life, he committed several bad deeds. And guess what! When he died in that world, God, a more power being than I, planted him here, to destroy us! But sadly that's not going to happen." Twilight was confused with this current knowledge. She had mixed emotions on the story. "Is this true Lan?" "... Yes." Twilight started to cry. Lan twitched. He dropped the sword and got on his knees. "You feel that? That is agony. Its what you did to Blue! You know, killing his lover." Lan didn't respond. "And even Zero, killing, well soon to die, wife and baby." Lan started to twitch. "And even Root himself. He risked his life and push him back. Calling Celestia and Luna a bitch, cussing them out, insulting them. Very bad." Lan started to twitch even more. "And the worst of it all, your going to let down Twilight even though she is pregnant." His words went through the air, entering Twilight's ears. She held her stomach. "That's right! Your pregnant! I can sense these things you know." X walked passed Lan, and went to the shield. Lucy was about to go for a round 2, but X quickly dispatched her with a quick knockout spell. When he reached Twilight, he reached inside the shield, surprising everyone, and grabbed her. No one had time to react as everyone tried to pull her in. "You see Twilight, I can't let you live! Oh, the pain you will suffer as I do very things to you!" He lifted his arm to put it on her head. Twilight struggled to get out, but couldn't break the grip. Everyone stood there in place, filled with fear. "Time. To. Die!" That's when a arm reached out and broke X's arm. Clean. Off. "GAH!!!" Twilight fell to the floor as X twitched in pain. X turned around to see Lan standing there, with his arm. "IF YOU DON'T MIND I NE-" That's when Lan tilted his head up, showing that Lan had finally snapped. "You want to see pain? I'll give you pain! I'LL GIVE YOU THE TRUE MEANING OF PAIN!!!" Lan grabbed X by the neck and lifted him up. "You want to rip my limbs off?" Lan grabbed X's other arm. "Say good bye!" Lan started to laugh insanely, while he broke off X's other arm. Lan tossed him to the side, still on him. Lan leaned over and whispered in X's ear. "How do you like your legs?" No response. Lan tilted up and got more serious. "I asked you a question." Still no response. Lan started to laugh again. His laugh was mixed with pain and sorrow, yet happy and violent. "FINE THEN! LETS SEE WHAT COLOR YOUR BLOOD IS!!!" Lan took X's leg and grabbed his foot. Lan tilted his head. "This little piggy died." "That doesn't make sen- AAAAHHHH!!!" Lan had ripped off X's foot, throwing it to the side. Lan laughed again. X couldn't move. Fear had been thrown in him, and he can't get it out. Lan started to tear off the other leg, leaving X with only a stub of a leg. Lan pulled out a knife, Arrell's knife, and went to town on X. He started stabbing, then slashing. Blood spilled everywhere as Lan couldn't stop laughing and crying. Soon X had died, but Lan didn't care. Soon a hand, no hoof landed on Lan's shoulder, belonging to Root. "Lan, stop this." Lan turned his head slowly to Root, smiling. "Now why would I do that?" "This isn't you Lan, stop." "Make me." Lan got up and started to slash at Root. Root just started to dodge, as his eyes filled with fear. Blue jumped on him, holding him back. "STOP!!!" Blue said. Lan didn't respond. "Lan... I have to tell you something... I lied to you..." "I KNEW IT!!! THE FAIRY KING WILL ALWAYS BE RULER OF THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" "I'm not who I say I am... i'm not Root. I haven't told you my name Lan Jenkin's." "THE ONE THEY TOLD THE GODS-" Lan froze. "Lan my name is William Greenfield." ~~~~~~~ Part 2 coming up. Also what the hell does this mean? Also WHAT A TWEEST!

BOMB!" Zero stated. "You know when you dragged me out here 10 seconds ago, I thought you would be having sex with me." Applejack folded her arms and pouted. "WELL EXCUSE ME PRINCESS!" Zero copied Applejack's arms and pouted with her. "That's my line." A mysterious figure popped up. Zero jumped up and protected Applejack. He unfolded his arms and stood upfront of Applejack to block any hits. They never came, "Aren't you suppose to be in there fighting?" The pony closed in on Zero. "Or are you chicken?" This caught Zero's attention. "I'm not chicken!" "Prove it!" "How!" "I haven't fought anyone in a while..." The pony lifted his hoof to his chin. "Ya, lets do that!" Zero took off his shirt (IDK WHY) and said, "LETS GO!!!" Zero closed in and grabbed the pony by the neck. Upon examination, the pony was a pegasus with black everywhere. "Well that's not fair! Let's make this fair!" Magic swirled around Zero and Applejack and they were both turned back into pony form. The grip on the pony was lost and they settled on the ground. "There we go! Let's go!" The pony uppercutted Zero and he flew back over Applejack. "ZERO!!!" "That hurt... but i'm ok." Zero spat out some blood and charged the pony. A simple push lead Zero into crashing onto the wall. "This isn't fun for someone who can't fight." The pony spat on the ground. "If you think you can beat me by being a idiot, try again." "I WILL!!!" Zero charged the black pegasus again, stopped and spun around behind him. "TAKE THIS!!!" Zero bucked the black pony as hard as he could, which was pretty strong. Big Mac had been teaching him a little in an art. "Sneaky little bastard." The pony leaped up and took Zero's head and slammed it into the ground. Applejack winced. He took out some magic and focused it on his hoof. He placed it on Zero's back, and jolted him back up. It was to say the least, painful. Zero staggered backwards. His breathing was hard and his muscles were tensing. Then he remembered something. He looked back at Applejack and he couldn't believe his eyes. There, pinning down Applejack, stood the black pony. He smiled and in the air floated his bombs. "Looking for something?" Zero fell to the ground. The magic from the black pony was pushing on his brain, killing him from the inside out. "I like to... blow up my victims. Magic can do that you know?" Applejack started to cry as Zero fell to the ground. His body felt weird as unknown black magic stirred in him. He had no idea this pony was so powerful. That's when a whip wrapped around Zero and electrocuted him. Not painfully, but where his fur stood up. "I can control the electrical pulse it sends out you know?" Lum jumped from the shadows, pulling back on her whip. "Electricity can kill magic. That's why Alicorns aren't very known." "Who... are... you..." That's when Zero fainted. "A friend my dear... Lush, let her go." Lum flexed her whip. "Or else what?" Lush put more strain on Applejack's neck, causing her to choke. "Or this." A sword pierced through Lush's head, and was forever dead. "Good job baby." Lum trotted to Nightwing and kissed him on the cheek. "I'm so confused... whats going on? Why are you helping me and Zero? Why did you call him baby?" Lum looked sad. "First we are helping you, that means we are on your side. Second we made some decisions and decided that the Nameless are a bunch of jerk faces. Third... we feel in love." "Well if you put it that way, they are in there." Applejack pointed to the steel door. "Not yet dear, lets treat Zero's wounds first." Lum and Nightwing went to Zero, but was interrupted by Applejack jumping over them and landing above Zero, minding his body. "Oh no you don't! Last time you did something, both of you tried to kill Lan. I'm not letting one of you near him." Applejack layed down near Zero, shedding tears but trying to hold them back. "I know what we did was wrong, but please let us help. When they busted us out of jail and got back, we were a laughing stock of the century! All the missions we got was toilet cleaning and... i'm sorry... we realized that the Nameless uses pony's to get what they want. If anything, I know you have full right to do this." Lum and Nightwing bowed. Applejack thought for a moment. She shook her head and gave in. "Fine... just be gentle." Nightwing went to work. ~~~~~~~ 20 minutes later. "Done... he should be fine." They heard screaming in the battle room. "Applejack stay here with Zero, make sure he doesn't move. Lush was a devil on him." The screaming got quite. "Let's go Lum." They kicked down the door. ~~~~~~~ The magic turned everyone back into their original forms. Lan was still shocked. He's ally here was he's first and only friend at earth. His mind wondered left and right, up and down, trying to find a way to this. "You were in the hospital for three months... when the doctors told me that you didn't make it... I didn't know what to do... Lan... you should of seen the people in school... they LOVED you. They felt sorry for everything they did. Ryan even started a fundraiser for your parents." Lan couldn't believe what he was hearing. "But then... everything tore apart. I found out about Sydney, that she was cheating on me, I left her. I feel into depression and... that's when I found out my parents were dead. They got hit by a semi... I took my life Lan... to help you... I knew that you would come here when I meet him. I told him that I would serve you in your quest. He told me to become a Nameless and get as much info as I could. That's where this comes in." "... Root... Will..." Lan looked around, first to Arrell, which was in the care of Twilight and Luna being healed, and to the door which had been opened and two familiar pony's stood. "NIGHTWING!!! LUM!!!" Lan jolted to them, but was stopped by Applejack's voice. "Lan, they are on your side now. Trust them." Lan looked at the two ponies. "Sorry about almost killing you." Nightwing said. "Ditto." Lum replied. "Touche." Lan turned around. "Ok, this is how it goes. Girls, get out of here with Arrell and..." Lan saw Zero and Applejack. "And Zero. Me, Blue, Ro- Will, Lum, and Nightwing will fight this guy. It wont take long." With that, everyone that Lan told to go left. They knew that this was his game. In a flash of light, his friends, both healed and injured was gone. Now it was his turn to die. "So you want to kill me? Well that's too bad... can't die now! My name is Nish. You will address me as Lord Nish." "Bitch please fish, were doing this my way!" Lan boasted out. "FISH!? You will address me as LORD NISH!" "That's what I said, nerd fish." The rest of the people couldn't help but laugh. "THAT'S IT!!!" Nish flew towards Lan. Lan giggled and stopped him with one hoof. "Ow... WHA... HOW?!" Lan looked at Nish, "If you must know fish, i'm not here to play games." Lan let go of his grasp and punched Nish in the face, sending back on the throne. "Is he dead?" Root said. "I hope..." Blue worriedly said. "Nope... still alive." Nish got up, rubbing his head. He looked up to see Lan glowing in a white light. The light grew brighter as the seconds passed and suddenly a bright flash killed the room. Lan's broken body was repaired, and now Lan was back with his wings and horn. "Well that was random..." Root said. Nish saw his chance, he rushed forward, blade drawn, and went for Lan. That's when Lan opened his eyes. His eyes, bright as heaven with tears of blood running down his face. His purple mane glowed in a vagrant hue, and his body was ready. "Back off mortal!" Lan said with a angelic voice. "This world shall be cleanse without your presence! This will be the day that you die!" Lan's horn glowed, and with that a purple ball or energy and fired it at Nish. The energy beam lasted for about 5 seconds and dispersed, as did Nish. "Holy hell I do not want to fight you again!" That was the last thing Lan heard before he fell to the ground. ~~~~~~~ Lan woke up in a white castle. He prompted up and noticed he was in human form. He looked up and saw a ray of light coming from a throne. He knew where this was going. "Ah, so you already know what is going to happen, no?" Lan was confused. "I know some things were said here and there, but... I think I have a proposition for you." "What send me to hell and let me rot. That was the plan, no?" Lan said, now mocking God. "You can stay in Equestria." "WHAT?! I thought-" "I changed my mind." "... Sneaky little bastard..." "Hehe, anything new you would like to call me?" Both God and Lan laughed. "Well this is a good bye, have fun with your new child." "Gotcha!" Lan fell. ~~~~~~~ Lan woke up in a hospital bed. This was the same room as last time. By his side was Twilight. "Twilight..." "Oh Lan! Your awake!" Lan took one look at Twilight and saw that he had been out for a while. "For one month." "Wha..." "You had been out for one month. X was right... Lan i'm pregnant." Lan laid back. "Hows everyone." "Arrell's okay. He's up and about. Blue is now king, Root is his body guard. Anyone else?" "You." Twilight laughed. "Its good to have you back Lan. Lets go home." ~~~~~~~ "So, Lan killed Nash, eh?" "Yes sir." "Pay up bitch." "Fine, ill get you your money. The second I saw Lan recover, I knew I would lose." "Yes, but he won't stand a chance against me, if my name isn't Malord, Ruler of Evil!" ~~~~~~~ "I knew he could do it, hes a strong one. Right God?" "Yes, stronger than I had imagined..." "But why did he flash?" "I healed him and gave him some juice..." "... Something wrong?" "What about Equestria?" "What about it? Blue Breeze will do a good job." "What about-" "Look God, Blue will be okay!" "Ok, fine, I trust you. But he misses you Celestia." "... As do I." "Do you want to see him..." "More than anything, but not now. My ground body still needs healing." "As do I." ~~~~~~~ A Hero's Choice Credits Idea of story: Living the Dream / kickass222urmom Story ideas: kickass222urmom zeroman Ice Spell checker: Ice Thank you to all the people that stuck through this story.

Mad? > Epilogue UNRELEASED > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Epilogue Twilight grew closer to Lan as they sat on the edge of Hilltop mountain. She laid her head under Lan's as watched the sunset. Lan wrapped Twilight in his wings to give her warmth. Twilight then started to kiss Lan's cheek. "Lan this is amazing."
