Chapter 1: I have to tell her

I sat next to a tree catching my breath.

"How did I live?" I asked myself "how am I still alive? Who brought me back? So many questions so little time" I sighed "I have to tell Redheart though there has to be some way to bring her to me" I sat on the ground pondering what to do "I got it. I can go to a store get a quill some ink and a piece of paper write her a note and send it to her. The only problem people think i'm dead. Hm I need some sort of disguise. Well i'm in a forest I just need something to hide my face and cutie mark.

"If its clothes you seek then I should be whom you speak" said a mysterious voice

"Who's there?"

"My name if you must, is Zecora and I am somepony to trust" she said

"Okay can give me something to hide myself under then"

"Indeed I can, I have something for you that's quiet tan" she handed me a cloak.

"O perfect I can hide myself in this"

"Indeed you should, I mean after all it is a hood" she walked into the forest out of sight.

"Wait she just left me with this....eh whatever ill return it when I can" I put on the cloak and walked into town. Ponies were looking at me but I tried not to care. I walked into a variety of stores getting the materials I need A quill, some ink, and a piece of paper. "Now" I said "Lets right this and give it to Redheart" I wrote down what I needed to tell her and slipped the note under her door and walked off into the forest again hoping she will get the note and follow.

============================================================

Redheart saw the note by her door and unfolded it.

Redheart I need you to come to the forest I need to explain something to you. I hope you come so we can talk.

Sincerely

Unknown

"No name huh" she said unsure of what to do "might as well go and hope its not a trap" she left her home and walked toward the forest.

============================================================

"Hello" said Redheart "anypony here?"

"I am here and i'm glad you came" I said

she turned around slowly "what do you want I've been through a lot lately"

"I have a surprise for you"

"What could you posi-" her sentence was cut off when I took off my hood "your......your......your alive Crezo"

"I can't fully explain it but yes i'm alive and here I am in the flesh"

"But you died on the bed"

"I know I just wanted to talk to you. I had a bad feeling I made you sad and I ju-" I got slapped "Um ow what was that for?"

"Scarring me half to death and this" she wrapped her hooves around me "is for coming back to me"

"Hey I try to make ponies happy like I keep saying i'm that kinda of pony"

We held each other for quite for quiet a while she was happy to see me which is the opposite of what I thought would of happened I thought she would of been scared.

"Um Redheart" I said

"What is it?" she asked

"This hug has been going on for about like ten minutes"

"O...my sorry" she stepped back "any idea how your alive?"

"Well i'm boiling it down to three people"

"Who are they?"

"My mother.....my father or even...........my brother"

"But your father and brother are dead"

"Or so somepony wants to make me think"

"Well do you want to come back to my house?"

"I would love to but everypony there thinks i'm dead"

"Just put your hood on I can take you to my house and then you can hide there so at least have a nice place to rest"

"Alright if you insist" we started walking back to her house then I got a flashback.

"Brother you can't die on me" I said

"You've already have your shot Crezo TAKE IT" my father said

"No dad I wont I don't want kill my brother"

"Well then I will" my dad shot a magic blast at my brother and killed him in front of my eyes

"What the hell is your problem dad?"

"Your next so you better start running"

My flashback ended right there and I mumbled to my self "My brother....winked at me after he got killed"

Chapter 2: A new beginning

We entered her house. "wow Redheart I gotta say if feels good to be in here again" I said

"I'm glad you feel like that" she said

"Now onto the more important thing, how am I alive?"

"I don't know maybe it was your mother"

"Maybe......o yeah thanks for the birthday note by the way"

"O you saw that" she said blushing.

"Yeah I did it was nice" I said smiling. "All right i'm gonna sleep and hopefully get in contact with my mother"

"Good night" she said walking to her room I was surprised she didn't ask me to sleep with her again, but she must still be shocked by the fact that i'm still alive. I laid down on the couch and closed my eyes. i woke up in a pitch black area however I could see my self.

"Mom?" I called out

"Yes dear?" she said

"Good so you are here"

"Yes I am what do you need?"

"How am I alive?"

"You died?"

"How do you not know that you knew everything else"

"I sensed your energy drop but I never knew you were dead"

"So you had a feeling?"

"Yes"

"Did you bring me back?"

"No"

"Do you know who?"

"No"

"Is my father..........alive?"

"No"

"Is my brother alive?"

"Yes"

"I had a feeling, are you going to tell me more about me now?"

"Yes"

"Wait....what?

"Yes I am I need to tell you what happened the day you destroyed the town"

When she said that I had a flashback.

"Destruction sweet destruction" I said evilly.

"My son can't be controlled anymore" my father said.

"I will destroy everything nothing can stop me" I laughed like a psychopath

"Crezo stop" my brother said.

"YOU WONT STOP ME BROTHER NONE OF YOU WILL THIS TOWN WILL CRUMBLE"

"Sweetie gain control" my mother said.

"There's no controlling what I have mother now stop trying to stop me its time.............YOU ALL DIE" after I said that a giant explosion emitted from my body flattening the town my parents and my brother "LIKE I SAID I'M UNSTOPPABLE"

"brother" my brother said before he fainted.

My flashback ended I looked at myself wondering "I was that powerful?"

"Yes you were nearly killed your own family" said my mother.

"Why would I have done that?"

"The scientist injected you with something to lower your magic power but it instead raised it to unmatched power"

"A scientist made me this way?"

"Yes"

"Can I ever go back to normal"

".....No"

"Will I loose control again?"

"No"

I fell back in relief now that I knew ill never do that again "O thank Celstia ill be fine"

"Yes you will now wake up"

"Thanks mom"

"And you know better then to use your aunts name in vein"

"Wait what?"

I woke up before I could get an answer out of my mother I started to wonder who she was now, she always wore a cloak whenever we talked.

"Morning sleepy" said Redheart.

"Heh you haven't called me that in a while"

"I know how did you sleep?"

"Pretty good actually got some good news from my mother"

"O whats that?"

"Ill never loose control again" I said with a smile.

"O that's good, so your father was just being a dick and trying to kill you for no reason"

"Yeah pretty much" we both laughed.

"I got to work today so you do whatever you need to do" she said walking out the door. I looked at myself "I need to find my brother now"

Chapter 4: The truth comes to

"Somehow I got to get my brother alone" I said "but how am I going to do it hm" I pondered for a second on what to do "maybe I can pull him aside if I pretend i'm hurt......no that's stupid grrr what do i do" my thoughts today were scrambled I just couldn't think straight. "Forget it ill just ask to talk to him for a second" I started walking up to my brother then realized something "damn what if Redheart sees I gotta get her distracted somehow" I threw a rock toward a garbage can it got her attention and she went to it. "Huh that was easy. Hey doc can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure" he said as he walked toward me "what do you need sir"

"O nothing just" I pulled him to an alley way.

"Whoa man whats your problem"

"Brother its me"

"Brother, my brother is dead it can-" I took off my hood in front of him "So your alive"

"Yes I am I need to ask did you bring me back......Trezo"

He was shocked that I still remembered his name "Yes I did I couldn't let my brother die"

"That flashback I had where I said you were evil, that wasn't my eyes......those were yours you said I was evil correct"

"Yes"

"So do you still see me that way brother?"

"Yes" he kicked me into a wall and put his front two hooves on my neck "I revived you so I can kill you I want revenge for what you did to our......my town"

"Brother.......wait" I said gasping for air.

"There will be no more waiting you die here and now"

"Not on my watch" a female said kicking him in the gut.

"Hes your brother you should know better not to hurt him"

I fell to the ground and looked up, it was Redheart.

"How did you know he was my brother?" I asked

"I heard you when I walked over here"

"Great thanks for the help now lets.......stop him?" I said in question "where the hell did he go?"

"I don't know, you alright?"

"Yeah its gonna take more then chocking me a bit to stop me"

"Good to hear, now why does he want to kill you"

"He said he wanted revenge"

"O....my"

"Don't worry about it you get to work i'm going to the source of my answers"

"Where?"

"My mother" I started walking toward the castle. Redheart went back to what she was here for making sure the wonderbolts don't hurt themselves.

===========================================

I arrived at the castle as I made my way to the door two guards stopped me.

"State your business" said the guards in unison.

"I need to speak with Luna" I said.

"You may enter"

I walked into the castle as the doors closed behind me "that was to easy" I said to myself "but none the less i'm in now" I looked around for Luna but couldn't find her.

"Stop, who are you?" said a woman's voice.

"I am Crezo and who are you?"

"Crezo?"

"Yes Cre-" she hugged me "um who are you?"

"I'm Luna, your mother"

"Good I was looking for you" I pulled away from her "I need to ask you something"

"What is it?"

"My brother why.....why did he try to kill me, why is my family other then you trying to kill me off"

She was silent, thinking of what to say. Something tells me she hasn't seen me since the day I destroyed my town so she doesn't want to offend me. "I'm not sure Crezo" she said softly.

"You don't know?"

"No I don't"

"All right thanks for being such a help, i'm leaving"

"Wait"

"What do you want?"

"Your here to ask me that then your just gonna walk out why?"

"I have to stop my brother before he kills me"

"Okay......you be safe then"

"Will do"

"And remember what I said about Redheart"

"Moooom" I walked out back on to the streets of Canterlot. I went to Redheart to see if she was done with her work or not. "Hey Redheart" I said "you done with your work yet?"

"Yeah I was just about to head home wanna come with?"

"Of course, but um I don't have any bits" I said rubbing the back of my head nervously.

"Then how di- you know what I don't want to know ill just buy us both tickets"

"Alright if you insist" we walked up to the train and she handed in the tickets so we can get on the train. We made our way to our train car and sat down.

"Hey Crezo" she said to me

"Yeah" I said

"You don't have your hood on"

"I know I don't"

"Why not?"

"Cause when I find my brother, I want him to see my face as I stop him"

Chapter 5: Taking whats close to me

Morning came and we arrived back at Ponyville. Redheart and I both stepped off the train and started walking to her house. I noticed ponies giving us awkward stares cause I had my hood off. "Everypony is looking at us" said Redheart but I stood silent as we walked I wasn't talking for I had to much on my mind at the moment. We made it to her house luckily with no issues. "You okay Crezo?" she asked.

"Yeah" I said quietly "I just have a lot on the mind right now"

"Alright" she looked on the table and saw the note I left "Hey Crezo whats this?"

I levitated it to me and ripped it in half with my hooves "Its nothing don't worry about it"

"You sure your alright?"

"Yeah I just need some time to think that's all" I sat down on the couch.

"Okay then" she walked to her room and shut the door I really do hope I didn't make her mad. I closed my eyes to process my thoughts. It was quiet all I heard was running water which I assumed was just Redheart taking a shower. I drifted off to sleep but no dreams just silent sleeping. I feel like I suddenly got relief.

*CRASH* I sprung up off the couch after hearing that sound "Redheart you all right?" No response I started walking toward her room. "Redheart you okay?" I ask once more still no response I barge in the room. Redheart held by an arm around the neck. The person holding her.............my brother.

"Brother why are you here" I said with anger

"Simply to kill you" he said

"Well drop her she has nothing to do with this"

"O but she does she seems to be the one you want to protect and maybe I want to cause you some tragedy by taking her away"

"You leave her alone this is between you and me"

"Nah I like to make things interesting"

"I said drop her"

"Not gonna happen brother, now i'm going to leave and your going to like it"

"Your just gonna leave with me right here yeah right your not leaving until I kill you"

"O so pathetic brother I always have my escape plans"

"O and what pl-hng" the wall was blasted open and a machine like carriage was waiting for him.

"Too-da-loo my brother"

"You think i'm not just gonna chase you"

"O no I know your not gonna chase me, guards stop him"

On that order I was surrounded by guards. I started to laugh "Do you really think a few guards will stop me"

"Yes now ill make my leave" his carriage started to leave and the guards charged at me.

"You guys messed with the wrong unicorn" I set off a magic shock wave knocking back the guards. Everyone of them knocked out. "Your the same guards pitiful a small distraction brother but your not getting away" I started to chase my brother's carriage but damn was it fast. I just had to follow it hes not getting away. I saw Twilight in the distance. "Hm I could use some backup" I said to myself " TWILIGHT GATHER YOUR FRIENDS AND FOLLOW ME NOW" I said as I ran passed her I knew she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw me but she did as I said.

========================================================

I stopped by the carriage which was abandoned "great looks like he ran the rest of the way. I can sense where he went though maybe I should wait for Twilight I don't know whats ahead" I stood still and waited hoping Twilight will get to me fast. I was starting to get impatient already and only five minutes have passed. "Gr I can't wait anymore who knows what hes doing to Redheart" I started back on the trail of my brother I just couldn't wait any longer then I need to. "Hm if my brother was smart he would of left guards behind to stop me but why didn't he? Its just to quiet" I kept walking now prepared for anything.

========================================================

I arrived at some stone base. "Man my brother went all out" I said amazed.

"Finally we caught you" a voice said behind me. I turned around luckily it was Twilight and her friends.

"O thank goodness its you" I said

"Hey you asked for help and that's what we do, now to ask HOW THE HELL DID YOU LIVE" said twilight.

"My brother brought me back to life"

"But how?"

"You know i'm not to sure a revive spell maybe"

"I've never heard of a revive spell before"

"Neither have I but my magic is a mystery to me still so anything can happen"

"Okay so why are we here?" asked Rainbow.

"To stop my brother"

"O.....my" said Fluttershy

"No worries Fluttershy I just need you six to stop the guards"

"What in tar nation are you going to do?" asked Applejack

"I'm going to" I took in a deep breath "not kill my brother but to stop him"

Chapter 6: Brother vs brother

"So how are gonna get inside?" asked twilight "I mean we should be quiet for a smo-" her sentence was cut off by me blasting a hole in the wall.

"That's how were going in" I said. We walked through the hole and saw a lot of guards. "I think my brother was ready for me. Are you six sure you can handle them?"

"Hey were the elements of harmony" said Rainbow "we can handle it now go stop your brother we got em"

"Very well I trust you on this then" I started walking toward the guards. The six dove in clearing me a path to get to my brother. I saw soldiers flying over me from the right and the left seems like they really could handle it. I walked inside the main part of this base "no guards huh looks like they were all waiting for me outside"

"O so my brother finally makes it to the party" said Trezo

"Yes and its finally time I stop you from doing everything your trying to do"

"Stop me HA don't make me laugh now"

"You think I really wouldn't prepare for your guards"

"Actually I did think you would do that that's why I have something else in mind for you"

"So what is it then whats your big plan"

"O nothing just THIS" I saw some stone moving but it looked the shape of a hoof.

"What are you doing?"

"Summoning the stone creature which I made to destroy you" A giant stone pony busted out from the wall holding a giant axe.

"O beautiful" I said sarcastically "bring it you monstrosity" the giant tried to swing at me with its axe "O CRAP" I jumped to the left.

"O come on brother don't play hard to get" my brother said on top of the statue.

"What do I do how do I stop this thing I mean I could use my magic on it but I think hes prepared for it. Forget it, its all I can do" I charged a magic blast and shot straight at the monster breaking it to pieces "hows that brother?"

"Perfect do you realize what you've just done?"

"What I did was stop you"

"And hurt Redheart in the process" I looked over at the rubble and saw Redheart on the ground "I put her inside of this thing just so you could hurt her"

I ran over to Redheart and lifted her head in my hoof "Redheart....Redheart speak to me" she stayed silent "Redheart please speak to me please come on don't die on me" not a peep from her.

"O is she dead now and its all your fault" I sat silent "my brother got nothing to say to me now?" I still was silent "come on Crezo it was gonna happen one way or the other  so get used to it. You cause tragedy and that's all your good for"

"I'm done" I said.

"Done?"

"You've thrown everything you can at me now"

"I stil-" I slammed him to a wall with magic.

"You want me to cause tragedy i'm about to cause it on you making your blood splatter all over this wall like it was an art canvas"

"HA you think i'm scared you'll never do it"

"Wanna bet" I started slamming him into a wall repeatedly "YOU DIE HERE NOW, I should of let my father kill you when he had the chance but I stopped him from doing so. NOW I'M FINISHING HIS JOB" I kept slamming him into the wall nonstop.

"Crezo.........stop" said Redheart.

"Redheart this has nothing to do with you he dies now" I said growling

"But it does your doing this cause he made you hurt me"

I stopped slamming him into a wall, Trezo was covered in blood. "You don't care that he made me hurt you, you just want me to stop?"

"Yes I do"

I was angered but dropped him "Alright ill stop but first. Why brother?"

"Why...what?"

"Why do you want to kill me I obviously changed so why still try to kill me?"

"I don't want to kill you I just want you to have your old powers back so you destroy everything you know"

"Your on the verge of death now so good luck doing that"

"I don't think you understand Crezo I-"

"I'm leaving you here to die enjoy your life while you still have it you pathetic monster" I walked over to Redheart.

"Do you need help?" I asked

"Please" she said. I put one of her hooves over my neck and started to walk away.

"Trezo"

"Yeah brother"

"If we do meet again it wont be here"

"Agreed"

I walked out of the building seeing all the guards knocked out. "Wow nice job you girls"

"Told ya we can do it" said Rainbow

"Didn't doubt you for a second" I said as we all walked back to Ponyville. "Redheart"

"Yeah?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow"

Epilogue: The day I left

We were in front of Redhearts house a day later. "Well Redheart today is the day I leave" I said.

"Will you ever come back?" she asked.

"I'm not sure but when i'm gone I want you.....to forget about me"

"What!"

"I want you to forget me I don't want you remembering anything that happened with us"

"Why on Equestria would I do that?"

"Cause I want you to think this was all a dream and that none of this ever happened"

"I would never do that your a good friend of mine"

"I'm a monster Redheart and I know this now and I don't want you to remember me and that's final" I started to walk away.

"Wait"

"What is it"

"After all this time your just gonna leave"

"Yes I am I just can't be seen here anymore, my magic will one day return and destroy this place and that's the last thing I want to happen" I again started to walk away.

"WAIT"

"What is it n-" she kissed me I could believe why cause she doesn't want me to go but I have to. "Redheart that's not going to change anything i'm still leaving"

"I know its not"

"Then why did you do that?"

"Because i'm going to forget you"

"Yeah"

"But I don't want you to forget me"

I smiled and walked away of into the distance "come out Trezo" I said knowing he was there.

"So you knew I was here?" he said

"Yes and I told you not here somewhere else"

"And where would that be?"

"Whitetail city"

Prologue: He lives

The doctor outside my room was talking with Redheart.

"Are you gonna be alright Redheart?" The doctor asked.

"Yeah" she said softly "even though hes gone now I know ill be fine. He said he'll be with me all the time"

"Well good to here you'll be alright. Do you want to help with the body removal process?"

"No that would be to much for me right now"

"Okay then you go home and rest we'll take it from here"

Redheart left the hospital the doctor and a few employees helped him with removing my body.

"All right hes in here" the doctor said.

"Lets do this" one of the nurses said.

When they walked in the room the doctor was speechless "where did he go?"

"We'er missing a body now but I thought you said he was dead"

"He was"

In the room they saw the window was open and I was out of sight. I was running into a forest wondering to myself how was I still alive I died right on that bed, but for some reason I was alive and i'm going to find out how.

Chapter 3: Brother I come for you

I left Redhearts house on the search for my brother. I left her a note if i'm not back when she gets home. I went down a path and walked to a train station. "Maybe hes in this place called Canterlot" I said to myself "O man I don't have any bits hm I wonder" I think i'm about to do something illegal but its worth it trying to get to Canterlot. I used my magic and made myself invisible to anypony and got onto the train. "Well that was highly illegal" I said to myself. The train started to move. I made my self visible in a place no pony could see which was hard to find by the way. I moved from car to car trying to find an empty one. On my way to an empty car I saw someone familiar to me a certain purple unicorn and she wasn't alone all her friends were with her, all I knew is that they couldn't see me no matter what.

"Hey mister" said Pinkie

"Daww shit" "Ahem yes?" I said in a disguised voice.

"Have we met before you look familiar like I've seen you at a party like that one I threw for this guy named Crezo he hasn't been around much but that's not the point have we met?"

"No we haven't"

"Ok bye"

I felt really awkward for some strange reason I thought I was found out but no point to it now. I went to the next car and thank the lord it was empty. "Finally some place to rest" I said to myself. I closed my eyes in the seat I was in and waited to arrive at Canterlot.

==========================================================

A day later I was there "Long train ride" I said as I stepped off the train. No pony familiar so far so good. I started walking down the road looking for my brother I highly doubt I will find him this way but who knows worth a shot. I started looking around and I saw Redheart. "What she doing here?" I asked myself "she said she had to work but I didn't think on a trip" I walked up behind her and tapped her on her back. She turned and saw it was me and dragged me in an alley way.

"What are you doing here?" She asked quietly

"I was about to ask you the same thing" I said

"I'm here to make sure the wonderbolts don't get hurt there doing stunts today and if any of them get hurt I gotta fix it. Now why are you here?"

"I came here to find my brother"

"Why in Celst-"

I put a hoof by her mouth "don't say my aunts name please"

"Okay anyw.......YOUR AUNT IS CELSTIA"

"SHHHHHHHHH not so loud"

"Who the hell is your mother her sister?"

"She has a sister?"

"Yeah her name is Luna"

"Well maybe I don't know i'm here to find my brother okay that's all"

"Okay then you be safe ill be here if you need me" she walked back into the stage strange thing is I looked at the doctor beside her. "My brother......is the doctor"
