Cry of Fear: Depths of Insanityby WardenGageChaptersPrologue: The mind of darknessThe police wont help you, Simon...The Peak of Darkness and the Rise of LightArrivalPrologue: The mind of darknessThey were all around him, and he knew it. No way but to fight once more for the sleep he had been fighting to get for the past 6 days. Clutching the Glock 9mm, Simon drew the pistol and aimed at the nearest creature. He wasn't going down without a fight. "Come on fuckers!" Simon shouted in every direction of the black, light less void. "Why do you fight us, Simon?" the mysterious voice asked, as if it was toying with him. Light, light was all he wanted. A flashlight, or his cellphone. Anything to make the endless darkness writhe in. The first monster rushed at him, growling and waving the hammer like a toddler waves their new toy. Simon aimed down his sights and blasted it in the head one, two, three times before it went down. "Fuck," Simon thought, "They're getting tougher to kill." A different eerie voice came into the void and Simon caught glimpse of a horde of the same creatures rushing to kill him as the voice began to speak "Simon? Simon wake up. Wake up Simon!" The eyes of 19 year old Simon Henriksson shoot open as he shot up from the 6th consecutive nightmare. Sophie stood next to his bed with her hand on his shoulder. "Are you ok Simon?" She asked, almost motherly like. He pushed her hand away from his shoulder and replied "Im fine, Sophie. Just a nightmare." She stared back at him before saying "You were screaming and shouting for light in darkness. Simon, I'm worried about your health. Things haven't been the same since those cops surrounded that car. Whats wrong? You know you can talk to me if you need to." "I know..." _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sophie was worried about Simon. He'd been perfectly fine before he saw those police officers in the street surrounding that car... Maybe she should go to the police tomorrow with him to figure out about what was going on those six days ago. Now all she had to do was remember the license plate number. She shrugged, she'd ask Simon tomorrow. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Things were no better in his mind as he ran from the endless amounts of monsters streaming from an unknown source. He was running towards something he knew all too much about, complete darkness. But where ever he ran, a light like a ceiling light followed him, showing the demons and hell spawn where he was. It basically said: SIMON IS RIGHT HERE! COME AND GET HIM! He didn't want to waste his ammo, because that left him with his fists or if he was lucky, a switchblade for the rest of the night. "Fuck me!" This was the only thing he could fathom about the light. He tried to shoot it out with a gun, but there was no source, just a random light in a void that should have no light. It made no sense at all. As he crashed to the ground from exhaustion, he waited for the monsters to take him. Minutes passed and no monsters, this meant it was almost morning and that the sun would frighten off the monsters. Simon opened his eyes to the now bright room. Same drab, white room. He ran his hand over his face, feeling the sweat. As he got out of bed, he looked over to his digital clock, it read 10:42 AM he looked over to his blinds and remembered they were a darker fabric, allowing the monsters more leeway to meddle with his mind. He then climbed into the shower, turning the water on hot and then climbing in. When he finished the shower, he put on a t-shirt, his hoodie, a pair of blue jeans, and socks. He then left his room to see Sophie in his small kitchen. She turned and said "Hi Simon! How'd you sleep?" He went on to reply "Horrible." She frowned "Well, I've got a plan today," Simon raised an eyebrow "And it would be?" She turned away from the stove and said "Were going to the police station today to get some answers about those four officers and the car they surrounded." Simon's only response was "Well, let's hope well get some answers." "And Simon" "Yes?" "What was the Plate number on that car?" "It was..... XVG 965" "Alright, well want some eggs?" Simon shrugged as he went to get a plate from a cabinet. Unknown to him, another strange being had taken an interest in his mind. A being not of this world. A being of the night... Author's Note Whew! Wanted to get the prologue out before I write his daily routine and his subsequent discovery of light in the void. (Also, I have never played Cry of Fear, just reading about the characters again to freshen up my knowledge about Simon) Cry of Fear Belongs to TEAM PSYKSKALLAR My little pony Belongs to Hasbro The police wont help you, Simon...As Simon stepped through the automatic doors at the police station with Sophia next to him, he couldn't help but feel despair, despair about why this happened and WAS happening. Was it some elaborate trick? Was he put on some psycho drug? Was he really insane? No, he couldn't be. He couldn't tell, and let his mind wander. it wandered so much he didn't hear the receptionist ask him what he needed. "Simon," Sophie put her hand on his shoulder. "Hmm? Oh!" He snapped from the trance he was in. "Hello sir, may I ask what you need?" "Yes, I need to speak with the four officers who apprehended a car with the license plate number XVG 965" "XVG 965... XVG 965... XVG, oh! You mean the car apprehended by four officers? Well, only one of the officers is in today." "Can we see him?" Sophie asked "I'll call and see if he's busy." The receptionist said. Sophia nodded before taking Simon over to a seat. About half an hour later, They were called into the office of Sargent Benovin Delov. "You must be Simon Henriksson. I am Sgt. Benovin Delov." He entended his hand. Simon shook his hand in return before sitting. "You said you're name is Delov?" "Yes. Why do you ask?" "That name does'nt seem Swedish." Delov chuckled. "Because it's not, im from Russia." "Ok then," Simon leaned forward. "Down to business. Why did you surround the car with the plate XVG 965?" "You see Simon, we got a tip that the driver was involved in gang activities." It was a lie and the Sargent knew it. It was to stop the creations of the book. A book that made the monsters of Simons head reality for who ever read it. "It's just... Since then, I've been having weird dreams. Dreams of monsters and things that are immpossible. Unfathomable, even! And I dont know what to do." Simon ran his hands through his brown hair. "Well I can recommend a few doctors if you think it will help." The officer wrote down a few names. One that gave Simon chills was a doctor Purnell. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the two left the station, Simon looked to Sophie. "You head home, Im gonna head to the bank." "Ok. Take care, Simon." As Sophie turned in the opposite direction, Simon began the walk to the bank. "No one can help you, Simon. Give up and give in. Why do you resist?" "Get the fuck out of my head. DID YOU HEAR ME?!?!? GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY MIND!!!!!" He turned down an alley and pulled out his phone. There were two new text messages. One was from the bank about a statement, the other from his mother. He opened the text from the bank, and it told him his current balance: 42,220.65. Which converted to 6,472 USD. Enough for 2 and a half month's rent. He needed a job. Bad. He then checked the text from his mother. it read; "Simon, how are you enjoying the apartment? im just texting to ask if things are going good for you and if the move was good. how are you settling? call me back!"-Mom He just wanted to text back;"Things are really shitty, I think im insane, monsters haunt my dreams, and im in an all around bad mood." But he didnt. Instead, he went to the park, which was down the road from the bank and also by his apartment. 10 minutes later... Simon sat down on a wooden bench and listened to the children yelling and running around. But something kept nagging at the back of his mind, a thought that something was watching him. But he couldnt put his finger on it. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Unkown to Simon, the same creature of the night was observing him outside of his mind. It frowned, acknowldging that he was safe during the day, or when light touched him, but in the dark... The dark had complete control. Author's Note RUSSIAN IMMIGRANT COP! Cry of Fear Belongs to TEAM PSYKSKALLAR MLP: FiM belongs to Hasbro The Peak of Darkness and the Rise of LightPrincess Luna had found the strange creature's dreams by the Strength of its will to fight off a blessed night. Upon further inspection of said creature's dreams, she found herself in a state of confusion. It fought creatures in its dreams that would not effect itself outside of the dream realm. But she didn't know that time itself was morphed and bent so that the creatures, that should exist in a horrid book, were not let out, and therefore became trapped in the mind of Simon. Because of the police officers traveling through the book and stopping the crippling accident that would create the book, it created itself in its own way. Simons mind, where it would fight to destroy his sanity, or worse, kill him. And he had no way to stop a creation of his mind and a creation of time itself. She shrugged and decided to watch the dreams at a closer level. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Simon opened the door to his apartment and fell onto the couch. Not even bothering to remove his shoes. It was almost night. Horrible, horrible night. Why? Why did this happen to him. WHY HIM? "You want me? Come and get me." Simon muttered to the ceiling. The clock read 8:30 PM. It was time to face his fears once again. As he drifted into sleep, he found himself in a different surrounding this time. A forest, where the trees looked like they had faces and were trying to scare him. In his bag was the same things he had the night before: A Glock 9mm, switchblade, and his cellphone, which offered no basic light in the void he was once in. Was this a way of punishing him? A way to toy with him further? Perhaps it was to distract him so the monsters could kill him. Then the sounds came. The sounds of approaching things made him pull out the pistol and aim it in the direction of the noises. Then the monster roared as it cleared the thorned bushes Followed by a new creature he'd never seen before Simon did the thing he knew best, shot them. two rounds for the new one and three for the other. A blood curling scream reached the ears of Simon, and he took off, not caring about tearing his clothing. As the screaming faded, he slowed down to a walk. But he dropped his guard enough for one to ambush him, hitting him in his right shoulder. "God dammit!" Simon shouted, dropping his pistol. The screams returned as he could hear the rustling of the creatures approaching. Then, he could hear groans of confusion. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Luna had seen the creatures desperation. It was about to die if she didn't help. so she put a force field around him and teleported the creature out of the radius so the other one could recover. It just looked around before grabbing the strange object from the ground. She didn't know what lay behind the next tree because she didn't create the forest, but bring the dream to a familiar place for her. Of course, the forest was a dream, so it had its confines. She didn't want her and her sisters little ponies to be harmed, after all. "What are you, strange being?" She asked herself. Such darkness in ones body and mind. A darkness that could have matched herself when she was once Nightmare Moon. But after the elements had purified her, she felt... normal. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Simon wasn't faring well in this strange forest. He couldn't tell if the trees were the monsters or if his mind made this place. Then it appeared, something of a godsend for him. A Flashlight. Something he always wanted for this Hellish Nightmare. As he picked up the light, a Monster ran at him. He brought the gun and flashlight to par with it and it reeled back whilst shrieking. Felling triumphant, he waves the light around the forest, catching something no one would ever expect. as he brought the flashlight back, his mouth formed a look of utter shock. It was a pony. A FUCKING PONY. On top of it being a pony, it had a horn, and as it turned to get away, revealed it had wings also. "What the Hell was that?" Simon thought. pushing the thought aside, he continued the trek further into the forest. Out of nowhere, he felt a vibration in his bag. Pulling out his cellphone to see a text. the only words were "Go right" Go right? Who sent the text into his mind? It didn't matter now, because it was there and he couldn't stop it. Unfortunately, he could have stopped the hammer swinging for his arm. Simon screamed as the hammer came down hard on the muscle in his left arm. Three rounds were delivered to the brain of the monster. "Maybe I should head right..." Simon thought, turning to the right and going along the route he thought would lead to whatever it was the text was talking about. What he found next gave him a hope he would have never thought existed. There in the middle of this god forsaken forest was a door. A door that was a solid white. Simon looked behind him, unsure if the pony was following him. It wasn't, but it was waking up to warn its sister about him and his power. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Luna's eyes opened and she shot up and out of her quarters to head to her sisters. "Maybe she'll know what to do." She thought. She burst into her sisters room, despite the guards advising against such an option. "Tia! Tia! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up sister!" She was pushing on her sisters slumped figure. "Hugh? Mmmmmph, five more minutes. They can wait for the sun." "Sister! this isn't about the sun! its about a dream I saw!" "Hurgh? Luna?" Celestia asked, laying herself up from her bed, letting the covers slide off as she rose. "Yes! Sister, it's me, but I saw a dream that was unlike any other I've seen. It was a creature that has never been seen in our lands before, and the scary part is that its powers were that of darkness, and they outmatched Nightmare Moon!" Celestia took in everything her sister was saying and nodded when she finished. "What do you propose, Luna?" She asked her younger sister. "Never in my time have I been concerned about what could threaten us WORSE than Nightmare Moon." Luna's voice was strewn with worry. "Shhhhshhshhshh." Celestia hushed her sister and pulled her close. "We'll figure out what to do tomorrow, after I have raised the sun." She told her sister. "And Tia?" "Yes, Luna? "What if we cant?" "well figure that out tomorrow as well. Get some sleep sister, please." "Alright. Good night, again." "Good night." With that, Luna trotted back to her room. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Simon was in awe. The room contained everything he wanted. Ammo, guns and medication. and the best part was, it was a lit room. "Fuck yes" Was the only thing that came from Simons mouth. After stocking up the following weapons: Famas, Gewehr 43, Ruger p345, and mags for the weapons. "Come and get me!" He shouted into the forest. As if on command, enemies began to appear out of the bushes and behind tree's. most fell with ease from the streams of Famas rounds. Pausing to reload, Simon glanced up to see one in a stripped green shirt take its chance. Too late. Simon pulled the slide back on the rifle and shot it down. seconds felt like minutes, minutes felt like hours, hours that would lead to the end of the night. as the last one fell to his Glock, his phone buzzed. A new text, from the same person? "What now?" Simon thought. The text read: "Simon, you fought the dark recesses of your mind with the weapons given to you by us. We are the light you strive for, but cannot find. We come to you with an offer to destroy the dark in a place you both will be at a disadvantage, but you will get the upper hand in one way it cannot, by learning in the light. You are stronger than you know, so consider the weapons as a gift to welcome you to the land of light and dark, of peace and conflict, of truths and lies, we welcome you to the world of ponies. A place where you will get friends, gain allies, make enemies, and ultimately learn to master your mind and fight to end the eternal dark void that you and I both hate. Who we are and what we do don't concern you, yet."- The Light "The light? what are they? some fucking cult? What ever, at least I can fight the monsters." Simon said before a blinding light woke him up. END OF PROLOGUE Author's Note Ponies+Simon=???? Began the final part of the prologue with Luna because it was lacking ponies(mod informed me when I tried to submit). And now ponies. ArrivalSimon opened his eyes to the sound of his phone ringing on his coffee table. "Uuuugh.... Who could it be?" He said, reaching for the mobile phone. He read the caller ID. It was Sophie. He pressed the green talk button and said "Hello?" "Hey, Simon. Just checking up on you. Want me to come over?" "Naw, but Sophie, I think I have a solution for the dreams." "Really? That's great!" "Yeah...." "Simon? You sound worried." "I am. If I go to stop the dreams, I'll be leaving Sweden." "What? Why?" "During the Nightmare, I got a text about stopping the monsters in another place, away from home, probably away from our planet!" "Simon... Are you sure you'r fine? Not running a fever?" "Yes, i'm sure!" "Simon... If you're going to through with this.. Tell you'r mother. Bye Simon." "See you later, Sophie." Simon ended the call and dialed the number he said he would call. His mother. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ The light beamed through the window into Luna's eyes. She grumbled as she turned away from the light. A guard opened the door and walked over to her bed. "Princess, your sister wishes to speak with you." "Uurgh, alright." Luna rolled out of her bed and fell in a mass of sheets. "I am alright!" Luna said, raising a hoof into the air. "Please leave me to become presentable." The guard bowed and exited. About 7 minutes later, Luna walked into the breakfast room to eat. A breakfast of daisy pancakes and milk. After eating, she went to the throne room to find her sister pacing nervously in front of the throne. "Sister, what is the matter?" Celestia turned to her sister, "I sent a message to Twilight requesting her and the other elements to come for an emergency meeting with the Military's Generals and important individuals. The meeting takes place in about three hours. Maybe I wasn't prepared for this..." "Tia, you've ruled this land for a long time, do not give up so easily." Celestia looked to Luna and said " Luna, I want you to describe the situation." "What?!?!?!? I cannot! I must not!" Luna shouted "Sister, you must. I know nothing of the creature or the monsters you spoke of, and if it IS stronger than Nightmare moon, then we may stand no chance." Luna shuffled, before saying "Fine, I will lead the meeting." "Good, because its actually in 30 minutes." "WHAT!?!?!?!" Luna shouted "I'm sorry, but that was the only way I make you speak." _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Simon put on a fresh shirt, a Dark hoodie, Jeans, and his pack. He also got another back pack and put fresh cloths and a switchblade in the pack just in case. Then his phone buzzed. It was a text from the light. Simon read it out loud: "We have given you a way to the lands capital. All of our gifts are through the door. The rest will come to you so look up." Simon sighed "Great, another riddle? at least they've given me instructions now." He looked up and saw a door in the corner of his room. "What the Fuck?" came out of his mouth. In the corner of his room was a door. He stared at the door and saw it flicker like a picture in a tv. "You can never defeat us." "Fuck off." Simon replied to the dark before leaving his room. He opened the fridge and made a sandwich. food before the trip. After eating, he went through his cabinets and grabbed canned foodstuffs. leaving room for the guns, magazines, and morphine syringes. He put on his shoes and headed back into his room to open the door. He took a breath as he turned the handle and pushed the door open. To the right were the same guns and ammo, also the meds. he grabbed the weapons and other items from the table, but saw no mags for the famas. Feeling in his pack, he pulled out a magazine. Setting it on the table, he reached back and felt another magazine in the same place. unlimited magazines, that would come in handy. Another door appeared and Simon thought do or die, do he chose do. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Greetings elements, generals, and advisor's. I wish we could be here under better circumstances, but we cannot. I fear a power darker than nightmare moon is the cause of this meeting, which is why there's an increase of guards here now." She glanced around the room. Seeing looks of shock. "Stronger than Nightmare Moon? How?" Asked Twilight "We do not know, but it is dangerous." "Why don't we blast it with the Elements? Knock it down to size?" Rainbow Dash said "We cant jus' jump the the gun. now, princess, could you show us what were up against?" Luna nodded and said "Yes, I'll show you what it looks like." She concentrated her magic and pulled up an image of Young Simon with the pistol and phone out. "That's it? Ha!" Scoffed Rainbow "We can beat that easy!" "I'm afraid it wont be so easy. It is very determined." "Whats our course of action?" One of the generals asked. "We want to try negotiations with the creature." Celestia said. "Negotiate? Are you crazy!?" An Advisor shouted "If it turns down the offer, we use the elements on it." Celestia said. She looked to the six ponies"Can you do that?" "Yes princess. For the sake of Equestria." Twilight replied. Unknown to them, Simon was coming. Author's Note Boy, I've had some trouble writing. Reasons: Metro: Last Light, GMod, CSS, DkS(Dark Souls). I am going to probably start another story. it will be a dark souls one that is about Artorias the Abysswalker. Also a little sonic x reference that I completely overlooked when writing the chapter. Sorry about the cliff hanger. i will start chapter 5 soon.

It was about to die if she didn't help. so she put a force field around him and teleported the creature out of the radius so the other one could recover. It just looked around before grabbing the strange object from the ground. She didn't know what lay behind the next tree because she didn't create the forest, but bring the dream to a familiar place for her. Of course, the forest was a dream, so it had its confines. She didn't want her and her sisters little ponies to be harmed, after all. "What are you, strange being?" She asked herself. Such darkness in ones body and mind. A darkness that could have matched herself when she was once Nightmare Moon. But after the elements had purified her, she felt... normal. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Simon wasn't faring well in this strange forest. He couldn't tell if the trees were the monsters or if his mind made this place. Then it appeared, something of a godsend for him. A Flashlight. Something he always wanted for this Hellish Nightmare. As he picked up the light, a Monster ran at him. He brought the gun and flashlight to par with it and it reeled back whilst shrieking. Felling triumphant, he waves the light around the forest, catching something no one would ever expect. as he brought the flashlight back, his mouth formed a look of utter shock. It was a pony. A FUCKING PONY. On top of it being a pony, it had a horn, and as it turned to get away, revealed it had wings also. "What the Hell was that?" Simon thought. pushing the thought aside, he continued the trek further into the forest. Out of nowhere, he felt a vibration in his bag. Pulling out his cellphone to see a text. the only words were "Go right" Go right? Who sent the text into his mind? It didn't matter now, because it was there and he couldn't stop it. Unfortunately, he could have stopped the hammer swinging for his arm. Simon screamed as the hammer came down hard on the muscle in his left arm. Three rounds were delivered to the brain of the monster. "Maybe I should head right..." Simon thought, turning to the right and going along the route he thought would lead to whatever it was the text was talking about. What he found next gave him a hope he would have never thought existed. There in the middle of this god forsaken forest was a door. A door that was a solid white. Simon looked behind him, unsure if the pony was following him. It wasn't, but it was waking up to warn its sister about him and his power. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Luna's eyes opened and she shot up and out of her quarters to head to her sisters. "Maybe she'll know what to do." She thought. She burst into her sisters room, despite the guards advising against such an option. "Tia! Tia! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up sister!" She was pushing on her sisters slumped figure. "Hugh? Mmmmmph, five more minutes. They can wait for the sun." "Sister! this isn't about the sun! its about a dream I saw!" "Hurgh? Luna?" Celestia asked, laying herself up from her bed, letting the covers slide off as she rose. "Yes! Sister, it's me, but I saw a dream that was unlike any other I've seen. It was a creature that has never been seen in our lands before, and the scary part is that its powers were that of darkness, and they outmatched Nightmare Moon!" Celestia took in everything her sister was saying and nodded when she finished. "What do you propose, Luna?" She asked her younger sister. "Never in my time have I been concerned about what could threaten us WORSE than Nightmare Moon." Luna's voice was strewn with worry. "Shhhhshhshhshh." Celestia hushed her sister and pulled her close. "We'll figure out what to do tomorrow, after I have raised the sun." She told her sister. "And Tia?" "Yes, Luna? "What if we cant?" "well figure that out tomorrow as well. Get some sleep sister, please." "Alright. Good night, again." "Good night." With that, Luna trotted back to her room. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Simon was in awe. The room contained everything he wanted. Ammo, guns and medication. and the best part was, it was a lit room. "Fuck yes" Was the only thing that came from Simons mouth. After stocking up the following weapons: Famas, Gewehr 43, Ruger p345, and mags for the weapons. "Come and get me!" He shouted into the forest. As if on command, enemies began to appear out of the bushes and behind tree's. most fell with ease from the streams of Famas rounds. Pausing to reload, Simon glanced up to see one in a stripped green shirt take its chance. Too late. Simon pulled the slide back on the rifle and shot it down. seconds felt like minutes, minutes felt like hours, hours that would lead to the end of the night. as the last one fell to his Glock, his phone buzzed. A new text, from the same person? "What now?" Simon thought. The text read: "Simon, you fought the dark recesses of your mind with the weapons given to you by us. We are the light you strive for, but cannot find. We come to you with an offer to destroy the dark in a place you both will be at a disadvantage, but you will get the upper hand in one way it cannot, by learning in the light. You are stronger than you know, so consider the weapons as a gift to welcome you to the land of light and dark, of peace and conflict, of truths and lies, we welcome you to the world of ponies. A place where you will get friends, gain allies, make enemies, and ultimately learn to master your mind and fight to end the eternal dark void that you and I both hate. Who we are and what we do don't concern you, yet."- The Light "The light? what are they? some fucking cult? What ever, at least I can fight the monsters." Simon said before a blinding light woke him up. END OF PROLOGUE Author's Note Ponies+Simon=???? Began the final part of the prologue with Luna because it was lacking ponies(mod informed me when I tried to submit). And now ponies.
ArrivalSimon opened his eyes to the sound of his phone ringing on his coffee table. "Uuuugh.... Who could it be?" He said, reaching for the mobile phone. He read the caller ID. It was Sophie. He pressed the green talk button and said "Hello?" "Hey, Simon. Just checking up on you. Want me to come over?" "Naw, but Sophie, I think I have a solution for the dreams." "Really? That's great!" "Yeah...." "Simon? You sound worried." "I am. If I go to stop the dreams, I'll be leaving Sweden." "What? Why?" "During the Nightmare, I got a text about stopping the monsters in another place, away from home, probably away from our planet!" "Simon... Are you sure you'r fine? Not running a fever?" "Yes, i'm sure!" "Simon... If you're going to through with this.. Tell you'r mother. Bye Simon." "See you later, Sophie." Simon ended the call and dialed the number he said he would call. His mother. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ The light beamed through the window into Luna's eyes. She grumbled as she turned away from the light. A guard opened the door and walked over to her bed. "Princess, your sister wishes to speak with you." "Uurgh, alright." Luna rolled out of her bed and fell in a mass of sheets. "I am alright!" Luna said, raising a hoof into the air. "Please leave me to become presentable." The guard bowed and exited. About 7 minutes later, Luna walked into the breakfast room to eat. A breakfast of daisy pancakes and milk. After eating, she went to the throne room to find her sister pacing nervously in front of the throne. "Sister, what is the matter?" Celestia turned to her sister, "I sent a message to Twilight requesting her and the other elements to come for an emergency meeting with the Military's Generals and important individuals. The meeting takes place in about three hours. Maybe I wasn't prepared for this..." "Tia, you've ruled this land for a long time, do not give up so easily." Celestia looked to Luna and said " Luna, I want you to describe the situation." "What?!?!?!? I cannot! I must not!" Luna shouted "Sister, you must. I know nothing of the creature or the monsters you spoke of, and if it IS stronger than Nightmare moon, then we may stand no chance." Luna shuffled, before saying "Fine, I will lead the meeting." "Good, because its actually in 30 minutes." "WHAT!?!?!?!" Luna shouted "I'm sorry, but that was the only way I make you speak." _________________________________________________________________________________________________ Simon put on a fresh shirt, a Dark hoodie, Jeans, and his pack. He also got another back pack and put fresh cloths and a switchblade in the pack just in case. Then his phone buzzed. It was a text from the light. Simon read it out loud: "We have given you a way to the lands capital. All of our gifts are through the door. The rest will come to you so look up." Simon sighed "Great, another riddle? at least they've given me instructions now." He looked up and saw a door in the corner of his room. "What the Fuck?" came out of his mouth. In the corner of his room was a door. He stared at the door and saw it flicker like a picture in a tv. "You can never defeat us." "Fuck off." Simon replied to the dark before leaving his room. He opened the fridge and made a sandwich. food before the trip. After eating, he went through his cabinets and grabbed canned foodstuffs. leaving room for the guns, magazines, and morphine syringes. He put on his shoes and headed back into his room to open the door. He took a breath as he turned the handle and pushed the door open. To the right were the same guns and ammo, also the meds. he grabbed the weapons and other items from the table, but saw no mags for the famas. Feeling in his pack, he pulled out a magazine. Setting it on the table, he reached back and felt another magazine in the same place. unlimited magazines, that would come in handy. Another door appeared and Simon thought do or die, do he chose do. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Greetings elements, generals, and advisor's. I wish we could be here under better circumstances, but we cannot. I fear a power darker than nightmare moon is the cause of this meeting, which is why there's an increase of guards here now." She glanced around the room. Seeing looks of shock. "Stronger than Nightmare Moon? How?" Asked Twilight "We do not know, but it is dangerous." "Why don't we blast it with the Elements? Knock it down to size?" Rainbow Dash said "We cant jus' jump the the gun. now, princess, could you show us what were up against?" Luna nodded and said "Yes, I'll show you what it looks like." She concentrated her magic and pulled up an image of Young Simon with the pistol and phone out. "That's it? Ha!" Scoffed Rainbow "We can beat that easy!" "I'm afraid it wont be so easy. It is very determined." "Whats our course of action?" One of the generals asked. "We want to try negotiations with the creature." Celestia said. "Negotiate? Are you crazy!?" An Advisor shouted "If it turns down the offer, we use the elements on it." Celestia said. She looked to the six ponies"Can you do that?" "Yes princess. For the sake of Equestria." Twilight replied. Unknown to them, Simon was coming. Author's Note Boy, I've had some trouble writing. Reasons: Metro: Last Light, GMod, CSS, DkS(Dark Souls). I am going to probably start another story. it will be a dark souls one that is about Artorias the Abysswalker. Also a little sonic x reference that I completely overlooked when writing the chapter. Sorry about the cliff hanger. i will start chapter 5 soon.
