The Element of Disharmony; Mischiefby Red MareChaptersPrologueChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 6Chapter 7Chapter 8Chapter 9Chapter 10Chapter 11PrologueChapter 1 The Element of Mischief Chapter 1 Home By Red Mare "Hello Ponyville. I'm so glad to be home!" I shouted, in the middle of town. In front of me, ponies began to look at me differently and they were all so confused. Did I make a fool out of my self again for the thirteenth time just by shouting out loud to a crowd of by standards? Maybe. Okay yes I did, but with a very good reason. The reason is I'm currently back from my previous battle, which I got to say was easy as a apple pie being baked. Those timber wolves never knew what was coming to them. But that's not really important, what is really important is that, everypony just stared at me like they didn't know me at all. I wonder why. Usually everypony remembers me and they would like to chat with me. What was wrong with them? I asked myself as I looked at the crowd again. This time in the crowd, I saw a beautiful yellow pegasus, with a long pink mane and tail, and she had a cutie mark with three butterflies on her flank. Don't ask how I know how to notice a pony and their cutie mark from a far distance. I just simply can tell from afar. That and well I was kind of hovering at the stall next to her. I flew down towards the ground, and just as I was about to walk towards the pony with the three butterfly cutie mark. Some ponies backed away from me, like they were afraid that I might do something dangerous, while some other ones were brave enough to get in front of the pony, protecting and shielding my view of her. "What's going on?" I mumbled under my breath, not realizing that I said it out loud for everypony to hear. Nopony answered me, they all just gave me a strange confused glare. Everypony then began to walk away, and the pony with the three butterfly cutie mark had disappeared. I was walking down the market street trying to talk to ponies, but they keep avoiding and ignoring me. I think it might be the scars. Yup that must be the explanation. Either that or I stink really bad and need to get myself cleaned up. I sniffed myself and I din't smell to bad. Was it the cologne I spray myself with every morning didn't have a good smell for ponies but rather homeless cats. Note to self, never ever buy cologne again, unless if dating somepony, noted. As I kept walking down the streets, I noticed some pegasi flying in the sky. That's cool, wait are they coming towards me? And at a fast pace. Crap, I got to get out of here before they crash into me and cause an accident. I ran so fast, all that was left was a dust cloud shaped as me. I love doing shenanigans like that to foll other ponies. I mean it is what I do. But that will be explained later in due time. As of right now, I ran into an alley way, looking back out at the streets. I saw three pegasi were wearing something golden, and it was shining. So shining, I want something like in the future, the future, FUTURE! I walked out of the alley way and walked towards them. I hope I could get some answers and ask what is the gold thing they are wearing. As I approached them, they looked at my direction and one of them shouted, "There he is! Get him!" That was my cue to get out of there. I took to the skies, as I flew away from them. What is going on? I wondered to myself as I flew away from Ponyville and looked for someplace to hide. I got away or so I thought, I looked behind me and the pegasi wearing those golden plates on their bodies were chasing me through the sky. "Oh come on. Give me a break already." I said out loud. I flew downwards and entered a forest type area. I looked behind me again and I lost the three pegasi. Not focusing ahead of me, I hit a tree branch and fell downward, and I landed on something soft. My vision became blurry, so I couldn't describe what or who saved me, but I did see a pair of yellow hooves walking towards me. That is when I groaned and I finally lost consciousnesses. Why did everypony acted strange? What happened when I was gone? ======================================================= Canterlot Castle I am sitting on the throne of Canterlot, levitating a quill and signing off of some papers for important documents. Everything was going good today, that is until the doors to the throne room were opened and a pony clad in golden armor, came running in. What could one of my guards want at a time like this? As he approached the me, he bowed down before me, and I could tell he had something to tell me. "News from Ponyville. Your Highness." The royal guard asked, removing his helmet in front of the only alicorn in the room, which is me. "Yes." I said calmly, wondering what the news could be. My amethyst eyes shined in the sunlight, my white coat could brighten any dark room, my mane and tail consist of four colors, light cerulean, light turquoise, light cobalt blue, and pale heliotrope, my cutie mark, a sun, and my name is Celestia, Co-ruler of Equestria. I'm very curious about the news what my guard is going to tell me. I looked at his expression and I could tell this isn't going to be what I want to hear at all. "I'm simply to tell you that. He has returned and he is alive." The soldier said, looking at me directly in the eyes. I was shocked at the news, and I gasped. I realized that it is has begun to come true. I began looking at the soldiers protecting me from my sides. "Go. Find the pony and bring him here immediately." I ordered a guard near me. "Yes your highness." A guard said, running out of the throne room with three other guards. As they were out of my sight, I got up from the throne and walked towards a window. I sighed as I looked at it, it had a picture of a certain dark blue pegasus, flying above all the ponies, with an evil smile formed on it's face. "Why did you come back?" I asked, to no pony in particular, as I kept looking at the window, and then I looked down at the ground. Maybe I should write a letter to my faithful student. No, I don't want her involved with something this big. I got to put him away before this begins. Chapter 1Chapter 2 The Element of Mischief Chapter 2 Where am I? By Red Mare I awoke from my slumber, the sun shining directly in my face. Somepony please close the curtains so I can get back to sleep. I slowly opened my eyes and sat up . I began to check out my surroundings to see where I was. I was in some sort of cottage house thing with animals living in here. All the animals saw me get up from whatever I was sleeping on, and backed away from my presence. Great, even animals are afraid of me. I should just go and leave before I cause any more trouble than I should. Just as I begin to get up, I looked out a window and I saw a yellow pegasus outside feeding some birds. I bet she or he carried me to his or her home and took care of me. I better go thank him or her, and leave them be. I also need to figure out why ponies clad in gold armor want me. I walked down the stairs, and walked out the door. I hope this pony doesn't want me to hang around there home any longer. No pony should live with that kind of burden. That would just be ridiculous and not healthy. As I walked outside, I heard a beautiful humming coming from somewhere. So I walked around the cottage to find it, but just as I kept walking I fell down on the ground, and lost consciousnesses again. I think I should have rested a little more before I began to walk. ====================== Canterlot Castle I sat on the throne again, looking at the doors leading into the throne room. I waited for my guards to return to me with a report of or captured the pony. The pony that I want should be captured and brought before me, so Equestria is saved. I began to think if the pony wasn't captured, I don't know what could happen to all of Equestria. My four pegasi guards, clad in golden armor bowed down in front of me. I didn't even know they entered the throne room at all. I looked at them and I asked, "Where's the pony I told you to bring to me?" One of the pegasi stood up, removing his helmet, and he replied, "He's in Ponyville your highness. He simply got away from us." I became shocked at the news. The pony I wanted to be captured, just got away. I stood up from my throne, walked down to ground level, and I began to pace back and forth in front of my four pegasi guards. All four pegasi looked at my behavior curiously, then one of them asked, "Your highness, what's wrong with this one pony? Surely he cannot be a threat to Equestria." I stopped pacing, I looked at my guards, and I sighed and dropped my head. I replied, "The pony that you found earlier, is not a normal pony at all." "What do you mean your highness?" Another guard asked, confused. "There is much more you need to know about this pony before you go after him again." I replied, seriousness in my voice. All four guards were listening as I continued, "The pony you all are after, is an element...." "An Element! You're highness he's not a Element of Harmony is he?!" All four guards asked in unison, shocked at the discovery. Their eyes were widen to the size of three dinner plates, and their mouths were hanging wide open. "No. He isn't a Element of Harmony. Let's just say, Discord wasn't the only Element of Disharmony." I replied, my voice now icy cold. My guards looked very confused about what I said about Discord. I sighed loudly enough for my guards to hear. "Your Highness. What is an Element of Disharmony?" One of the guards asked, curious about the new information. "An Element of Disharmony doesn't want peace and harmony. This elements only want to cause only one thing, destruction, and chaos. I had to hide this information from all the ponies, you my guards, and my young sister Luna for a good reason. And that reason is why we have the Elements of Harmony till this day." "You mean everypony doesn't knows about this information besides you alone?" One of the guards asked, all four of them now know the truth. "Yes, well no, I wasn't the only one who knew. Star Swirl the Bearded did a foresight into the future and he told me about it coming into fruition. Back then I didn't believe him, but now I do, and that is why we must stop this. So are you in or are you all out?" I said, looking at my guards dead in the eye. With the piece of information said, my guards looked at me. The four of them huddled together, whispering words that I can't possibly hear. I hope they stay on my side, because of what I told them. But however they all maybe might leave me because I kept this hidden from them and everypony else. I never wanted to keep this information a secret from everypony bit it was for their safety that I did it for. The four guards turned back towards me and one of them asked, "What does this pegasus look like your highness?" I looked at them and I began to describe what this stallion looks like. I hope we can capture this pony quickly before things get out of hoof. Chapter 2Chapter 3 The Element of Mischief Chapter 3 Meeting By Red Mare ============= Back in Ponyville I awoke up in the same cottage again, but something was different. I looked around, and I was in the same room again, but there was somepony watching me from the creak of an open door. I chuckled slightly, slowly got up, and said, "You can come in." Just as I said that, I saw a yellow pegasus with a long pink mane and tail, walk in. I wonder why she was taking so long just to approach me. Do I really smell bad or something? I sniffed myself, and I totally reek of sweat, dirt, grass, and leaves. I began to laugh hysterically at myself, that is when then I felt a hoof touch my forehead. I looked at this pegasus eyes, they were a deep sea blue, I just couldn't look away from the beauty. Then I noticed something about the pegasus's flank, there were three pink butterflies. I then remembered at the market, I saw a yellow mare pegasi with the same exact cutie mark. Could it be that this pony is the same one I saw at the market? I asked, "What's your name?" The pegasi stopped and looked at me, a smile formed on her face as she replied, "M..m...my name is Fluttershy. Who are you?" At first I was shocked that the pegasi in front of me is actually a mare. Oh boy I'm in trouble now. I replied, "Haze. Caizo Haze. Haze for short if you like." "Nice to meet you, Caizo." She said, kindly. "Caizo works too. I thank you for your hospitality. I probably owe you one big time. But I should leave." I said, getting up off the bed, and landing on all fours, and I began to walk away from her. As I reached the door, I felt something tug at my tail. I turned slightly and Fluttershy was biting gently on my tail. If I had a bit for every time Fluttershy kept gently biting my tail, I'd be one of those rich snob ponies in Canterlot. I smiled a bit, and asked, "What exactly are you doing, Miss Fluttershy?" "Um... well you shouldn't go outside yet." Fluttershy told me, now I'm really confused. "Well why not?" I asked her, curiously. "Well what if you go unconscious again, fall over something, or worse." She replied, her eyes going wide thinking of something bad happening to me. She is so cute when she worries about others. I laughed a bit, trying not to scare her animals or her. Then I told her, "I been through worse than this Miss Fluttershy." Fluttershy then fell and fainted, as I caught her unconscious body in my hooves. Great, maybe I shouldn't have told her that. I probably should take care of her and her animals until she wakes up. I gently put her on the bed I was sleeping in and I put the blankets over her body. Covering most of her body, I put her hooves on top of the blankets as I looked at her animals. This is going to be hard and it's going to be a long day for me. "Let's do this, Leroy Jenkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. =================== Canterlot Castle I now just told my guards what the pegasi looked and what he was. The pegasi is indeed an Element, but much more dangerous than Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis, Discord, and Sombra. I just hope they will capture him soon or all of Equestria is doomed to fall. I looked at the window again, the same one with the pegasi with an evil smile, flying over the ponies. I dropped my head, knowing full well if this prophecy comes true. Just then I heard the doors open and my sister entered the room. She walked towards me, and she asked, "Why keep staring at this my dear sister?" I had no choice, but to reply to my sister, "This could be the end of everything we hold dear to us Luna. I'm so scared of what could happen to our little ponies." "Then why did thou put him in the royal guard unit when he could have been such a danger to society?" Luna asked me, concerned. "Because I thought he.. wouldn't be a danger or a threat to Equestria." I replied, knowing that I lied to myself and Luna. True, I put the same pegasus in our royal guard unit to see if he had skill, and he passed with flying colors. But now it was different, he could be a threat and danger to Equestria and I can do nothing to stop it. "Luna I think it's time I showed you something." I finally said, I began to walk away from the window. Luna walked right beside me. We made it to the Harmony Chamber, where the Elements of Harmony were there before I gave them to my faithful student and her friends in case something bad happens, like if Discord were to go evil again. "Sister why are we here?" Luna asked me. I dropped my head, knowing I should of told Luna sooner than hide the truth from her. So this time I told her, "There is an element worse than Discord, worse than Chrysalis, worse than Nightmare Moon, and worse than Sombra." "Another element of evil. Surely sister there's nothing that can be or even exist." Luna told me, a smile on her face. I want to believe her, I really do, but I kept going, "There is another element Luna. I just haven't told you." Luna's smile disappeared, as I told her. She was curious so I showed her an amulet. This is just like the Alicorn Amulet but it was different. It had a black neck line to attach to a ponies neck, a red orb was in the center. It shined brightly as the sun deflected off of it. My sister's eyes widen at it, she then asked, "What kind of Element are we talking about and thou are dealing with dear sister?" I replied, "We are talking about the Element of Mischief. And the pony we're dealing with is in Ponyville right now, at this very moment." My sister Luna just looked at me, like I had hid something from her for almost a thousand years. She screamed at the top of her lungs and I knew this could mean a lot of trouble. Chapter 3Chapter 4 The Element of Mischief Chapter 4 What Just Happened? By Red Mare "Another evil element! Sister how dangerous can he be right now?!" Luna asked me, pacing back and forth. I knew this question would come up sooner or later, there's no hiding anything from my sister at this very moment. So I replied, "He could probably take Equestria anytime, right under our hooves Luna. I just don't know when or how that will happen." Luna stopped pacing and looked at me dead in the eye as she said, "I want to find this pony before he does that my dear sister. I'll send my night guards to capture him, if necessary." I looked at my sister in the eye, she was determined to help save Equestria at any cost. So I nodded my head, and she began to smile. I watched my sister go, leaving me to gather my thoughts, and to have a plan ready to end this once and for all. ============= Back in Ponyville I can't believe how many animals Miss Fluttershy has. It took me a couple of hours to feed them, bathe them, read them a bed time story, and finally put them all to sleep. I'm actually surprised Miss Fluttershy didn't wake up to all of the chaos that just happened recently. Her cottage was a mess, so right now at the moment, I'm cleaning it up. It's late in the evening, so I stopped and I looked at the clean cottage as I sat down on a couch. I couldn't believe that I'm not sore in the wings or hooves, but that's beside the point. I heard my stomach grumble, I guess I should probably cook something up. I did work up an appetite. I walked towards the kitchen. That's when I noticed a yellow pegasi watching me from a distance. I chuckled a bit, couldn't help it if I was being spied on from a distance. I said, "You can come out now." I saw Miss Fluttershy walked slowly towards me. Do I really smell that bad? I sniffed myself and I do kind of reek from running, feeding, sweat, dirt, grass, leaves, and doing all the chores while Fluttershy was sleeping in the bed. Or was she sleeping? Did she fake being fainted so she could see me do all of her chores? I really don't know and I guess I'll never find out. Fluttershy then approached me, I waited patiently for her to speak. I could feel an awkward silence forming around us. I tried to speak first, but then I noticed something moving outside. I saw a shadow move, so I got in front of Fluttershy and she stood behind me. She didn't know what was going on, but I do so that's why I waited for whoever was coming. There was a knock on the door, I slowly walked towards it, knowing full well who it could be. I reached for the door handle, I opened the door slightly. I then saw two ponies dressed in black armor and they both had bat wings. Their eye pupils were dilated, as they looked down at me. Oh great, here we go again. One of them spoke, "Are you the pony we're looking for?" This was my chance to get away. So I lied to them, "No. I'm just a normal pegasi like any other, just crashing here for a little bit." "Well we'll be on our way then." The other spoke. They both began to walk away from the cottage, when a third one appeared from the night sky. Well at least I tried to lie and get away from them. So I closed the door to the cottage, locking it, and placing the couch near the door. Hoping it would by me sometime to get away and think of a plan. I then looked back at Fluttershy, and an idea formed in my head. I whispered to Fluttershy, "Take me in as one of your sex slaves, whores, or something of that nature you paid for this evening." Fluttershy whispered back to me, "Oh.... my. Um... are you sure?" I couldn't help but a chuckle a bit. Then I stopped and I replied, "Yes I'm sure. You found me and payed me to have sex with you. Just try to convince them that it's real." Fluttershy looked down at the ground, I hope she doesn't take too long to think because those three ponies were already banging hard against the door, trying to break it down. Fluttershy then looked up at me, trotted towards a closet. This is no time to disguise yourself or myself, just please go with my plan. Just then she returned with a black leather collar, attached to a long black leash. It's always the quiet, timid, and shy ones, that always have the weird stuff. I nodded my head, and she put the collar on my neck. She held the leash in her hoof as the three ponies busted the door down. I hope this plan of mine works because I really hate this plan already. The guards walked up towards us, looking at me fiercely. "We're to take you in." One of the pony bat things said, walking closer to me. I closed my eyes and waited for the guard to take me. But then I heard Fluttershy spoke up, "If you take him how will he get his bits from me?" I looked at her, she was smiling, not an evil smile just a little happy smile. Now I'm wondering where in the name of Tartus she came from because she kept going, "I found him in the alleyways of the market today and saw he was lonely and didn't have a home. So I took him in and well, he owes me big time for letting him stay here." The pony bat thing's jaw just dropped to the floor. My eyes widen as dinner plates thinking Miss Fluttershy would break under the pressure, but she didn't. She isn't sweating under any pressure. Even I could be convinced by her performance. I began to smile a bit when she walked over towards me and said, "Now you know the rule. I want you to get on the bed up stairs and lay there for me, or I'll get the crop again." Does it feel weird to have a mental wing boner at this very moment? I ask myself as I walked up the stairs but then something choked me. I looked back at Fluttershy and she held the leash in here hoof still. She looked up at me, with the same happy smile, then I put it together. Great Celestia, she is playing the Mistress card on me and the guards in the room, I'm giving her credit for the part she was playing. So I waited for her, then just like that, the guards left her house with crimson blushes on their faces. Fluttershy then walks towards me. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. I closed my eyes, hoping Fluttershy wasn't in the acting role. I waited for what was going to happen, then I heard a click. I looked down and the collar was off of me or my neck I should say. I looked at Fluttershy and she was still smiling at me. What just happened? Chapter 4Chapter 5 The Element of Mischief Chapter 5 Big Huge Surprise By Red Mare I looked at Fluttershy, as we both walked up the stairs, and we both made and entered her bedroom. I asked "What just happened?" She then walked back down the stairs, to the foyer of her cottage, and she put the collar away. I followed her because now I'm really, mentally, physically, and utterly confused what just happened recently. Sure we both did convinced those night guards as Fluttershy told me who they were. I did get a mental wing boner from her acting out her Mistress role. And she was kind of right when she said I had no home. I did too have a home somewhere in Ponyville right. Right? As I approached her, she was mumbling something under her breath. I couldn't quite hear what she said, but I'm sure it had something to make me leave. So that's what I did I began to walk towards the door of her cottage, when I felt a gentle nibble on my tail again. I knew who it was and I didn't need to turn around and face her. "Where are you going?" Fluttershy asked me, confused. I replied, "I thank you for your hospitality Miss Fluttershy but I can't be here anymore. So I'm leaving and I hope to see you around again when this is all over." I replied, smiling. I opened the door and then I heard her say, "But you owe me two things because... because... because you probably would say that." That's when I realized I did say that I owe her one for the hospitality, and she told during her acting that I owe her another one. Great Caizo just great, why did I have to say that to her so she could keep me around longer. "But I'm a wanted pony, a fugitive against the law. If you keep me here any longer than you have to. Then the guards will put you in a dungeon or something." "That doesn't matter to me. I'm an Element of Harmony so stay with me." Fluttershy told me. "Are you sure? I don't want to impose or intrude." I said, trying to convince her to not get in any trouble. "I'm fine with it really." She smiled at me. I couldn't help but smile back at her. She wanted me to stay here but I'm just a burden so why. Why keep me here, if I'm a wanted criminal? I'm trying to figure that part out. =============== Canterlot Castle I couldn't sleep tonight because of the nightmares I kept seeing and having. Sweat was pouring down my face in fear, every time I had a bad dream. Each nightmare was different than the last. Ponies were either suffering or getting killed by him. I kept seeing that wicked evil smile, those eyes full of darkness and hate for everything that happened. I looked outside my window and I sighed at my sister's bright moonlight. I wonder if her guards had captured him. I quickly walked out of my room, down the hallway, and I saw my sister, Luna walking in my direction. I hope it's good news. By the time reached me, I saw a look of disappointment in her eyes as she saw me. "Tia, I have bad news." Luna began, looking down at the ground. "What is it Lulu?" I asked her, putting my hoof under her chin. As we both looked into each others eyes, I could tell, this isn't what I was going to like and hear one bit. Luna tried to look away, but I kept her head in my hooves. I looked into her eyes again, and I asked again, "What's the bad news Lulu?" Knowing she couldn't escape me, she sighed in defeat and replied, "My guards found the pony you're looking for. He's currently in Ponyville but with the shy pegasus. The one who bears the Element of Kindness." "Fluttershy! He's with Fluttershy!" I nearly shouted at the top of my lungs. Oh, now he drew the line when he escaped my guards and my sister's guards. Taking an Element of Harmony as a hostage is really pushing my limits. I hope you're ready, cause now I will stop at nothing to get you captured and you are brought here. I could tell Luna was looking at me. She was worried I might go to far. She's right, so I took a couple deep breaths and calmed down a bit. I then got an idea. One that no pony or he wouldn't expect at all. I'm going to go to Ponyville, along with some guards, and I'm going to meet the pony. I will finally get to know the threat face to face. I should probably write a letter to my faithful student, telling her I'm coming to have fun and party. Which would be the truth, I would celebrate my victory. I left my sister to look at me, smiling happily as I can be. Actually, I think I might be victorious if my plan goes smoothly. I walked back towards my room, to get some sleep. As I was walking back, I couldn't help but smile all the way there. I'm going to be victorious and nothing will stop me from getting this threat. Nothing. ================ Fluttershy's Cottage I couldn't believe how exhausted I was. I just don't know what happened that made me and Fluttershy do that. I leaned on the couch, thinking how to make sure that went well enough. I then heard a knock at the door, I groaned in pain as I got up from the couch and walked towards the door. I was just getting comfy too, before I reached the door, I saw Fluttershy sleeping on the floor of her house, a smile escaped me. She just looked so adorable, sleeping on the floor, I walked up towards her, picked her up with my hooves and gently put her down on the couch. She kept snoring a bit, so I put a blanket on her, covering her up so she kept warm, and not catch a cold. I then lifted her head, and put a pillow under her. I then walked back towards the door and opened it. As I opened the door, I saw a purple unicorn, pacing back and forth. I wondered what was wrong so I asked, "Hello, can I help you with something?" That caught the unicorn's attention, she looked at me, and jumped at me. As I was tackled to the ground, I looked up at the purple unicorn, and she looked like she needed something to get off of her chest, big time. I was feeling uncomfortable with this unicorn being on top of me, so I finally asked, "Can you do me a favor Miss?" Realizing that she was on top of me, she slowly got off, a blush forming on her face told me more than I wanted to. I got up from the ground, dusting myself off, and asked, "Can I help you with something?" She looked at me, still blushing, and she replied, "I'm looking for my friend Fluttershy. I really need to tell her something important." "Okay first of all, could take this conversation outside?" I asked. "Sure I guess." The purple unicorn replied, as she walked backwards, eyeing me suspiciously. "Okay." I said, as I followed her outside of Fluttershy's cottage. When we both were outside, I closed the door gently making sure not to disturb a sleeping Fluttershy. I then turn myself around and looked at the purple unicorn again. She then asked me, "Who are you?" I probably should of introduced myself to her before the question came up. So I replied, "My name is Caizo Haze. Haze for short if you like to call me by that." "Okay Caizo. Could you get Fluttershy so I can talk to her about something important?" The purple unicorn asked me, looking at me. "I'm sorry who are you exactly?" I asked her, because she seemed familiar to me. "I'm Twilight Sparkle." She said to me, with a big smile. I smiled back at her. "So could you get Fluttershy for me?" Twilight asked me. "I'm sorry, Twilight. She's asleep at the very moment. But I can give her your message." I said. "Really?" Twilight said, scaring off a few birds. "Yes. Now what is it?" I asked, my patience running very low. "Well the princess is coming to town." The purple unicorn said to me. My jaw dropped to the ground. My eyes widen as the size of dinner plates. Chapter 5Chapter 6 The Element of Mischief Chapter 6 The Nightmare By Red Mare As I got a new piece of information from Twilight Sparkle. I told her, "Thank you and have good night." As I slowly began closing the door. Princess Celestia, Raiser of the Sun was coming here in Ponyville. I couldn't believe what was happening, first the royal guards of the day and the night want to capture me for some reason. I wonder if the princess would know anything about that, I will have to ask her tomorrow or when she shows up in town. I had a hunch in my gut the answers that I seek will probably make me feel worse for what I really am. What am I really? Am I just a normal pegasus living in Equestria or is there something more about me that I don't know about. I won't never know until I see the princess face to face and ask her. This could be the worst mistake of my life, oh well I might as well get some sleep. No use trying to over think of the answer I might receive tomorrow or whenever the princess shows up. I laid down on the floor, closed my eyes, and drifted off to sleep. As I slept, I began to have a dream that turns into a nightmare. The dream went something like this before turning into the nightmare. It was nice beautiful day in Ponyville. I was in town, walking along the streets being greeted by everypony. Just a natural good day, but that is when it takes a turn for the worse. The sky goes completely dark, the town buildings are in ruins, and I 'm wearing some sort of necklace thing. I looked at the ponies and they were wearing shackles on their necks as they were bowing down to me. This is not real, this is not real, this is not real. Not real. Not real. "Not real you say. A voice said, echoing from somewhere. I began to look around to find the owner of the voice but I found no pony. That is when I saw a dark mist shape thing came in front of me. I wonder what that thing was as it began to take a form of it's true self. I lowered my head, sprouted my wings, and I was in a battle stance as I got ready to attack whatever black mist pony is. That is when it's form took shape of somepony familiar. I couldn't believe who I was staring at. The pony that I was staring and looking at was me in a black mist cloud shape though. Except it's scars were not red but white. "This makes no logic sense." I said, to my black mist self. "What doesn't make logic sense?" The black mist asked, looking at me dead in the eye. "Well how can you be me when I'm me?" I had to ask, confused. Looking down at myself. "It's quite simple really. I'm you and you are me. We both are destined to be rulers of Equestria." The dark shade said, an evil smirk forming on his face. "What?! There is no way I would ever do that." I said, my anger now building up in me. "Oh it will happen and you know you're going to love it. Including the queen you will pick." The black mist me said, disappearing before my eyes. "Wait." I said, trying to talk more to this dark side of me. No pony replied but I could hear an evil laughter echoing somewhere close by. I need to wake up. Wake up. Wake up. I woke up with a start, jumping as I sat up. Sweat formed on my brow and started to slide down my face very slowly. I check my surroundings just to make sure the dream wasn't real. I looked towards the couch, where Fluttershy was sleeping and I saw the couch was empty. Oh no. No, no, no, no no, no. Please tell me that dream wasn't real. I ran towards the couch just to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks on me or I was still half asleep. I looked at the couch and no yellow pegasus came into my vision. Fluttershy was really gone. Chapter 6Chapter 7 The Element of Mischief Chapter 7 Them Again By Red Mare This can't be happening! This can't be happening! This can't be happening! This can't be happening! This can't be happening! This can't be happening! I couldn't believe my eyes what I just saw in front of me. That dream or nightmare I should call it, was real. Fluttershy wasn't on the couch where I put her last night. The sun was just beginning to rise, as I kept looking all over the cottage for any sign of the yellow pegasus. I then notice something different about the place I'm staying in. It was getting colder than usual, as I began to shiver, my teeth were clattering, and goosebumps began to form on my entire body. I looked for something warm to cover me, so I won't get to cold. I used the blanket I gave Fluttershy last night and I began covering myself. Sweet cherry candy corn, why is it so cold in her cottage of all sudden? I probably should just go back to sleep, and hope for the best. No, I shouldn't go back to sleep. What kind of stallion would I be if I couldn't find my hostess? Maybe a selfish stallion bastard, who doesn't care. I have to find Fluttershy and fast before black mist ghost, who looks like me gets her first and uses her against me. Why am I so obsessed with this yellow pegasus? I know she can be kind, caring, and takes care of animals. Also, she is very beautiful even if she doesn't want to admit it. I'm not sure why, but I think there is something about Fluttershy that keeps me from going insane. I think I may know the reason. I know the real reason why I can't stop thinking about her. I think I'm starting to fall in love with her. No, I'm in love with her. I know that now, for a fact. Either that or I'm crazy, and I'm just assuming that I love Fluttershy. No, I can't be assuming that I love her, I know that I love her, and nothing is going to stop me from admitting it. I'm crazily in love with Fluttershy. She must and cannot know that I love her yet. I began to jump around and fly through the house with sheer joy. I was in love with somepony and I was happy for the first time in my life. That is when my body began to act differently. I started to descend from my over excitement and I landed on the ground. That is when it struck, something bad began to happen to me. My body froze in place, my legs felt like jelly as they wobbled out of control. I then fell over onto my side, hitting the hard wood floor below me with a loud thud. My eyes were shutting and closing very slowly as I saw Fluttershy's cottage blur into blackness in my vision. Here we go to unconscious land again. I hate myself right now. ================================================================================= I awoke several minutes or hours later, I couldn't tell, as I slowly got up. I opened my eyes clearly and I saw that I was on the couch on the first floor of Fluttershy's cottage. Who lifted me and put me on here, is the one and only question that is running in my head at the very moment. I then began to smell something being cooked, it came from the cottage's kitchen. I wonder who is cooking as I walked towards the next room, where the aroma of food got stronger. I opened the door to the next room slowly, and to my surprise I saw a variety of cooked foods on the biggest table that I have ever seen. Miss Fluttershy, what else do you own in this house that I or anypony else don't know of? I walked through the door completely, and walked towards the table. My stomach began to make grumblings noises. This is where I lose my mind and talk to my stomach for a bit. Grumble, Grumble My stomach told me it was hungry. "You said you could wait for a week." I said back to my stomach. Grumble, Grumble My stomach told me it couldn't wait any longer. "Are you hungry right now?" I asked my stomach. Grumble My stomach told me yes it was. "That is all I need to hear from you." I finally gave in to the hunger temptation, as I began to walk around the table to see what I could eat. Everything looked absolutely delicious, I don't even know where to start. There was fresh baked bread, pie, hot honey in a jar, daisies, stuff for salad, and last but not least, there were a bunch of carrots with some white whipped cream and fresh red cherries were on top. As I kept looking at the food, I notice that all the animals Miss Fluttershy takes care of are staring at me. Maybe I should let them eat first, before I consume the food on the table. "Alright you animals, dig in." I said, looking at all the animals. =============================================================================== A few minutes have past and there was some left over food for me to eat. I thank all of the animals living inside this cottage for leaving me something to eat. I grabbed a plate, and ran over to the table, and I picked up everything that was left over. I picked up two pieces of baked bread, two carrots with white whipped cream and fresh red cherries, a slice of pie, and some daisies. No I'm not girly, I'm just hungry. Maybe I shouldn't be rhyming, with my timing. Great now I can't stop rhyming, without trying. I'm really hating myself right now. Ha take that rhyme, I rule and you drool. Damn it, I did it again. Maybe I should just eat something before I lose my mind again. Before I could take a bite out of a sweet delicious carrot, I saw a little snow white bunny hopping towards me. His eyes looked at me then at the carrot in my hoof. I saw his ears flatten against his head as I realized none of the animals must have left one for this little guy. I then handed him the carrot I was about to eat, and he took it. Now back to the other delicious food on the plate. I took a piece of baked bread, and before I could eat it, the snow white bunny had hopped onto my lap. I looked down at him and he looked up back at me. "Okay mister snow bunny, here's the deal," I said to him, as he seemed to be paying attention to what I was saying. So I continued, "I'm trying to eat here, and you keep stopping me from doing so. So I'm going to give a chance to get off of my lap and let me eat or I shall not make those reservations I promised you earlier." The bunny seemed to be confused about what I said. I never even promised him reservations at all, so why did I bring that up anyway. I guess I'm really hungry. Just before I could continue my rant, I heard a familiar voice say, "Awwwwww Angel. Did you make a new friend?" I turned my head and I saw Fluttershy, smiling at me and Angel, as she entering her cottage. She's okay, so that means my nightmare didn't come true at all. But who in the name of blueberries is angel? I looked down at the whit bunny again, this time I figured it out. Angel huh, more like Devil should be his name. I looked at Fluttershy again and I noticed that she was wearing a pink scarf, pink striped socks, and yellow boots. Where was she exactly? I need to know to get some closure. "Fluttershy. Where were you?" I asked, looking at her. "Well, ummm I was at the market to get some food for my animal friends. And as I was walking back home, I accidentally bumped into two ponies." She told me, as she walked towards a coat hanger and she hunged her scarf around it. Two ponies huh, I wonder who she might've bumped into. So I asked, "What did these ponies look like?" "Well ummm. They were a married couple I know that. They both were pegasuses. One was a mare she looked very beautiful like a model, and another one was a big muscular stallion." Please tell me she isn't talking about who I think she is talking about. She continued, "They told me they both were looking for their son that ran away from home when he was six." Sweet merciful apple sauce, please tell me she isn't going to say she invited them over. She continued, "So after I apologized, I told them they could come to my cottage for some tea." Buck me in the flank. I think I know who Fluttershy was talking about. I know for a fact the reason they are looking for me. That is when I heard a knock on the door, I told Fluttershy, "I'll get it." I walked towards the door, and before I opened it I began to pray to myself. Please don't be them. Please don't be them. Please don't be them. Please don't be them. Please don't be them. Please don't be them. Please don't be them. I opened the door and I was greeted by two ponies, one a mare and the other a stallion like Fluttershy said. "Hello Caizo sweetie." The mare said to me, with a smile. "Hello kiddo. How have you been all this time?" The stallion said to me, with a smile. "Caizo is there something wrong?" Fluttershy asked me, concerned in her voice. Somehow I didn't hear her walking towards me at all. "No nothing is wrong. It's just...." I felt awkward about to say this next part. "What is it Caizo?" Fluttershy asked me, looking at me with worry. "Well I umm can't believe you just met my...." I tried to say, but was cut off. "Could we please come in Caizo sweetie?" The mare on the outside asked me, she began to shiver a little. "Yeah kiddo, could we come in before we catch a cold or something? The stallion asked me. "Caizo who are these ponies. And how do they know you?" Fluttershy asked me, this time wanting to know the truth. So I gave her the truth by saying, "Fluttershy these ponies that you met. They are my parents." Chapter 7Chapter 8 The Element of Mischief Chapter 8 Who's The Weak One Now! By Red Mare While Fluttershy was in her kitchen, making tea. I had to sit in the foyer and chat with my most hated enemy in all of Equestria, my parents. Every time they looked at me I would put up a fake smile, then when they turned away, I would glare at them with anger in my eyes. I remembered what they did to me when I was five years old and let's just say they didn't love me like a real family would love their own son and daughter. My parents were the exact opposite of a loving family. When I was five my dad would throw me against the wall of our old house. Well the house wasn't old, I just think it was. But besides that, my dad would then walked up towards me, and when I started to cry, he told me I was a weak stallion. Some father, but my mother was even worse than him. My mother would come into my bedroom at night, comfort me about the beating I got that day. I would loved her if she left my abusive dad, but she didn't. When I was relaxed by my mother's comforting, she would, this might sound weird. She would touch my penis and make it hard on purpose. I would tell her that my wee wee is hurting, and she would teasingly, lick it to make it worse than usual. By the age of six, I couldn't take living in the same house as them, so I gathered what I might needed the most. I packed six juice boxes, take some left overs from meal we had previously, a few coloring books and crayons, and my teddy bear. Shut up, every little colt and filly needed a childhood friend somewhere. Anyways, as soon I saw that no pony was home, I opened the door and walked out and I ran away. And now here I am all grown up and staring at my abusive parents again. I probably should tell Fluttershy about what they did before they came over. I bet they aren't here just to say 'hello and come back home to us son'. I know them all to well and soon Fluttershy will too. "Son are you okay?" My dad asked me, looking at me with concern. "I'm just fine Dick." I replied bluntly to my father. That is when I heard a gasp and I saw Fluttershy holding her tea tray. She then scolded me, "Caizo no need to use such language towards your dad like that." "Fluttershy, that's my dad's name." I said to her, being honest. "Really, his name is Dick." Fluttershy said, trying not to sound confused. "Yes it is Miss Fluttershy." My dad said, being a gentle stallion. Drop the act old man. "Quite honestly sweet Fluttershy. His name is Dick Storm." My mom said, smiling. "Yeah and my mom's name is Mist Fog Tank." I said, rolling my eyes saying my mom's name. "Oh okay. Please too meet you both." Fluttershy said, offering a smile of her own towards my parents. Great now even the friend that I have a crush on is liking my parents. Just wait till I tell her what they did to me when I was younger. I looked at my dad and he looked like he had a question on his mind. I hope the question he asks isn't too embarrassing. Fluttershy took her seat next to me, which made me feel kind of comfortable. I mean we aren't a couple but that is exactly what we were looking like. Just sitting there together, alone, my parents were watching us. I then heard my dad coughed for attention. Fluttershy and I looked at him, and this is where my life should end. "So are you two dating? My dad asked us both. I immediately wanted to fly away from this situation, go to the Everfree Forest, scream my heart out, and let the Timber Wolves eat me. Good plan Caizo, now to put it into action. Before I could get off the couch Fluttershy and I sat on, I felt her yellow hoof on mine, I looked at her, and she looked like she didn't want me to let her stay with my parents by herself. Well of course, no sane pony would want to be with my parents alone, my parents would unload their questions on the poor soul. So I stayed with her until my parents decide to leave. My father looked at the clock on Fluttershy's wall and said, "Well honey it's about time we head back to our house." "Already dear. I want to spend sometime with our son a little more." My mother said, trying to get my dad to stay a little longer. Please for the love of fresh baked pancakes, just leave already you two. I'm so glad that I didn't say that out loud, that would actually embarrass me in front of Fluttershy also it would be rude to say such a thing. My dad then leaned into my mom's ear and whispered something. Good thing he doesn't know I can read his lips and I got to say I didn't like what I saw. So I asked, "So how long have you two been working with Celestia?" Fluttershy, my mom, and my dad, all their eyes widen, and their mouths hung wide open in complete udder shock. "How did you know what I said son?" My dad asked sternly, there you are my real dad. "I can read lips now." I replied bluntly, come on daddy, bring the violence. "Oh can you now?" He asked, trying to be tough. "Yeah I can. What are you gonna do about it?" I said, beginning to smile. "Well honey maybe we should teach our son a lesson about butting into other ponies conversations." My father said to my mother. Both of them began to get evil smiles of their own as they looked at Fluttershy instead of me. I know what they're going to do and I got in front of Fluttershy to protect her. "Caizo?" Fluttershy said, looking at me. "I'm sorry Fluttershy." I said to her, not looking at her. "So son are you really going to protect her from us." My father said to me, glaring at me. "You both don't deserve to call me your 'son' anymore traitors." I said to them, darkly. "We are your parents and we will call you son or whatever we so please." My mom said, getting up from her chair. "Indeed. You're nothing but a weak son who won't lay a hoof on us." My father said, getting up from his chair. My smile turned into a wicked evil grin as I began to laugh evilly like a mad pony. "What's so funny son?" My parents asked in unison, confused why I'm laughing. "Die." Is all I said, as I quickly was in between the two of them. My parents looked shocked at what I just did, and their eyes had widen to the point where their eyeballs should have fallen out of their eye sockets. I grabbed my mom lifting her off the ground, then I lifted my dad off the ground next and I threw them out the front door of Fluttershy's cottage. The door broke on impact with the weight of my throw and both my parent's weight, which made it break with ease. I then walked slowly, enjoying this so much, and taking my sweet time. I should have done this when I got back from the Griffon war but this moment will have to do for now. As I slowly approached my parents who have been grounded, I looked at them and said," Who's the weak one now? I thought it was me but I guess it was you both." My father got up first, he glared at me with a intent glare to kill me. Good come get papa. My dad and I slowly got into a battle stance, our wings sprouted out wards, both of us crouched downward and we stared at each other. Both of us didn't dared move unless the other opponent moved first. Rain stared to pour down from the grey cloudy sky above, causing the dirt to become mud. Lightning flashed, and that is when my dad, Dick Storm flew off the ground and towards me. That is when I struck him, I crouched even further down, my muzzle touching the mud ground my dad's stomach right in position and I swung with all my weight, sending my body upward. I made contact and my dad coughed out a little blood from the huge impact I made. He then descended to the ground, clutching his stomach, as he hit the muddy ground. "S...Son." My dad said, before he passed out. "I'm not your son anymore." I said while looking down at him . "Dick!" My mother screamed as she rushed to his side. I looked at her with pity, and walked away from the both of them. I saw Fluttershy standing at her doorway and I realized I couldn't be here any longer, so without looking at her and without saying a good bye to my host. I took to the sky and flew away. I hope Fluttershy doesn't find me again for a long time. Chapter 8Chapter 9 The Element of Mischief Chapter 9 Honest Prisoner By Red Mare I flew into a unknown direction and didn't look back at all. I know I just showed my violent side to Fluttershy, and she probably doesn't want to see me ever again. Tears had started to leak from my eyes as I cried at the lost of losing my friend that I made. Why me? Why does it have to be me? I asked myself over and over again. Why does Celestia want me captured? Why go to such lengths just to provoke me? Just why? Why should I care about a stupid idea? I then spotted empty little shack near the edge of the Everfree Forest. So I descended downwards, as my wings were aching from flying away for who knows how long I've been flying? I landed softly onto the ground, my wings went back into my sides as I walked towards the little shack. As I looked at it, it looked as if no pony would want to live there. Windows were broken, the front door was hanging off it's hinges, the roof looked like it could use some good ol cleaning, there was a hole in the roof, and lastly, the whole shack was made out of wood from a red oak tree. I walked up towards the shack, opened the door, and entered it. Welcome home Caizo. As soon as I entered, I spotted a bed in the middle of place. The bed looked brand spanking new for a old shack like this. The blanket was a quilt, that could cover a family of eight ponies, the pillows were small, and the bed it's self was probably a queen size bed meant for two ponies. I jumped onto the bed, removed the top part of the quilt, crawled under, and I closed my eyes and drifted off towards sleep land. Good night Ponyville, hope you all have wonderful dreams. ============================================================================ I woke up to a bright sunny new day. I guess Celestia is coming to town today. I bet she wants to meet me and capture me, so I can't hurt anypony else. Well maybe I should just turn myself in and be done with the rest of my life behind dungeon bars. Hoping for the best, I crawled from under the quilt, and landed on the floor with all four of my hooves. I stretched myself, smacked my lips together, and walked out of the shack. I then notice that Ponyville wasn't to far from here, so I walked towards the town, hoping to get captured by any royal guards along the way. This day isn't what I thought it would be. As I entered town, all the ponies were cheering for me for what I did. But what did I do to get such gratitude? I then notice a wanted poster, on a street lamp post with my parents faces on it. They were wanted for what reason. My parents never did anything bad besides abusing me, trying to take and turn me in, and almost taking Fluttershy as a hostage. There is nothing else they could have done right? I should probably ask Princess Celestia what my parents are wanted for. I looked around town and I saw Fluttershy talking with Twilight across from where I am. I better avoid them, so I don't attract too much attention. I slowly walked backwards, that is until I bumped into somepony. I froze in fear, if I turned around and saw this pony. Could they actually kill me and end my life? I hope so, so I turned around fully and I came face to face with the Princess of the Sun herself. "Hello Caizo." She said, calmly. "Your highness." I said, bowing down to her. "Well it looks like we meet again." Celestia said to me, as I kept my head looking down at the ground. A few royal guards were by her side and surrounded the both of us in a heartbeat. this is my chance right here right now. So I said, "Take me in." "Wait what?" Celestia asked, confused what I just said to her. "I said just take me in." I said again, this time with more force in my voice. "Really just like that?" Celestia asked, in denial. "Yup just like that." I said to her. "But why turn yourself in already?" The Princess of the Sun asked, trying to make me spill every detail. So I honestly replied, "I just don't care anymore. My life is ruined the way it is. I know I'm a threat to Equestria, but I befriended Fluttershy along the way. We became good friends until my parents showed up at her cottage under your orders to capture me. I fought them, and ran away from Fluttershy and now here I am asking you to take me in without any need for restraints." My words sunk into Celestia's mind as I came out clean. I just really don't care anymore about me running away. I'm a strong stallion standing up to my own beliefs. And this is one of those beliefs right at this very moment. Celestia then lifted my head up so I can look into her eyes. She was confused about something, I could tell by the way she looked at me. She then said, "I never even told your parents anything Caizo." "Bull Bucking Shit." I said to her, as I slowly began looking at a royal guard who wanted to execute me in the day light hours. That could work too, please royal guard take your strong hooves and just strangle me to death. I then looked back at Celestia and she told me, "I haven't met your parents and told them anything about you." "More lies coming from you filthy mouth, Celestia." I said to her, as I know it was her who manipulated my parents to come after me. "But Caizo...." Celestia began. "No more ands, buts, ifs, and whats. Just take me in and be done with it already." I said, getting ready to break down. "Caizo...." The Princess said, as she just looked at me. "What do you want to say huh?!!! You want me to admit defeat!" I said, fresh new tears were escaping my eyes. "Caizo...." Celestia said again, she almost began to cry with me. "You won okay!!!!!! Are you bucking happy that I said it?!!!!!! Huh are ya?!!!!" I said, now crying my eyes out. The Princess of the Sun cried with me. Probably just tears of joy since she just won and beaten me. I landed on my stomach, and cried till my eyes were red and swollen. The guards all around us, had began crying with us as well. I don't what happened, but I know for a fact that I was still crying, tears were still running down my face, as the guards were guiding me to a black carriage meant for prisoners. All the citizens of Ponyville were watching me as I climbed up the little stairs, and entered the back of it. The door closed slowly and I got a glimpse of Twilight, Fluttershy, and some four other ponies watching me. When the door had finally closed, I sat down on a bench and waited to go to the Canterlot Dungeons. =========================================================== Night time approached very fast as I heard a party on the outside of the prisoner carriage. Why haven't I been taking to Canterlot yet? And what was taking Princess Celestia so long? Just then a shadow moved from the outside of the little window, so I got up and stood on my hind hooves to see who was outside the carriage. I looked to my left, then my right and I saw nothing. Must've been my imagination, might as well get some shut eye. I laid down on my stomach, so my back was facing the door and closed my eyes. "Hey Caizo right?" a voice asked from the other side of the door, making me open my eyes. "That's my name. Don't wear it out." I replied jokingly, even though I still tasted defeat in my mouth. "Um okay I won't. My name is Rainbow Dash, and I'm a friend of Fluttershy's." The voice known as Rainbow Dash said to me. "Great, nice too meet you." I said sarcastically. I really don't want to be bothered at the moment. "I'm trying to be a friend here and tell you something important." Rainbow said to me, I never even looked at her. "What are you here to do rub Celestia's victory in my face?" I asked bitterly, moving my head slowly towards the left, trying to get comfortable as I can. "Okay dude, seriously. What is your deal?!" Rainbow shouted at me. "My deal is that Celestia won this battle. So I'm giving up, so I don't have to ruin anypony's lives." I replied to her, trying not to sound depressed about it. "You know you could always thank me for bringing a guest over to see and visit you." Rainbow said to me. My ears never perked up though. So I continued to lay there on the cold wooden ground. "Dude are you seriously not wanting to see anypony?" Rainbow asked me, but I didn't reply to her question. All I did was let out a deep depressing sigh, letting her know that I was done talking. "Ugh fine go ahead. Ignore me, but just to let you know, I thank you for saving Fluttershy from your parents." Rainbow said to me, before I heard her hoof steps fade away into the distance. I began to cry again, I don't know why but I did. Maybe my dad was right about me. Maybe I am a weakling after all this time. Chapter 9Something has gone wrong.

PrologueChapter 1 The Element of Mischief Chapter 1 Home By Red Mare "Hello Ponyville. I'm so glad to be home!" I shouted, in the middle of town. In front of me, ponies began to look at me differently and they were all so confused. Did I make a fool out of my self again for the thirteenth time just by shouting out loud to a crowd of by standards? Maybe. Okay yes I did, but with a very good reason. The reason is I'm currently back from my previous battle, which I got to say was easy as a apple pie being baked. Those timber wolves never knew what was coming to them. But that's not really important, what is really important is that, everypony just stared at me like they didn't know me at all. I wonder why. Usually everypony remembers me and they would like to chat with me. What was wrong with them? I asked myself as I looked at the crowd again. This time in the crowd, I saw a beautiful yellow pegasus, with a long pink mane and tail, and she had a cutie mark with three butterflies on her flank. Don't ask how I know how to notice a pony and their cutie mark from a far distance. I just simply can tell from afar. That and well I was kind of hovering at the stall next to her. I flew down towards the ground, and just as I was about to walk towards the pony with the three butterfly cutie mark. Some ponies backed away from me, like they were afraid that I might do something dangerous, while some other ones were brave enough to get in front of the pony, protecting and shielding my view of her. "What's going on?" I mumbled under my breath, not realizing that I said it out loud for everypony to hear. Nopony answered me, they all just gave me a strange confused glare. Everypony then began to walk away, and the pony with the three butterfly cutie mark had disappeared. I was walking down the market street trying to talk to ponies, but they keep avoiding and ignoring me. I think it might be the scars. Yup that must be the explanation. Either that or I stink really bad and need to get myself cleaned up. I sniffed myself and I din't smell to bad. Was it the cologne I spray myself with every morning didn't have a good smell for ponies but rather homeless cats. Note to self, never ever buy cologne again, unless if dating somepony, noted. As I kept walking down the streets, I noticed some pegasi flying in the sky. That's cool, wait are they coming towards me? And at a fast pace. Crap, I got to get out of here before they crash into me and cause an accident. I ran so fast, all that was left was a dust cloud shaped as me. I love doing shenanigans like that to foll other ponies. I mean it is what I do. But that will be explained later in due time. As of right now, I ran into an alley way, looking back out at the streets. I saw three pegasi were wearing something golden, and it was shining. So shining, I want something like in the future, the future, FUTURE! I walked out of the alley way and walked towards them. I hope I could get some answers and ask what is the gold thing they are wearing. As I approached them, they looked at my direction and one of them shouted, "There he is! Get him!" That was my cue to get out of there. I took to the skies, as I flew away from them. What is going on? I wondered to myself as I flew away from Ponyville and looked for someplace to hide. I got away or so I thought, I looked behind me and the pegasi wearing those golden plates on their bodies were chasing me through the sky. "Oh come on. Give me a break already." I said out loud. I flew downwards and entered a forest type area. I looked behind me again and I lost the three pegasi. Not focusing ahead of me, I hit a tree branch and fell downward, and I landed on something soft. My vision became blurry, so I couldn't describe what or who saved me, but I did see a pair of yellow hooves walking towards me. That is when I groaned and I finally lost consciousnesses. Why did everypony acted strange? What happened when I was gone? ======================================================= Canterlot Castle I am sitting on the throne of Canterlot, levitating a quill and signing off of some papers for important documents. Everything was going good today, that is until the doors to the throne room were opened and a pony clad in golden armor, came running in. What could one of my guards want at a time like this? As he approached the me, he bowed down before me, and I could tell he had something to tell me. "News from Ponyville. Your Highness." The royal guard asked, removing his helmet in front of the only alicorn in the room, which is me. "Yes." I said calmly, wondering what the news could be. My amethyst eyes shined in the sunlight, my white coat could brighten any dark room, my mane and tail consist of four colors, light cerulean, light turquoise, light cobalt blue, and pale heliotrope, my cutie mark, a sun, and my name is Celestia, Co-ruler of Equestria. I'm very curious about the news what my guard is going to tell me. I looked at his expression and I could tell this isn't going to be what I want to hear at all. "I'm simply to tell you that. He has returned and he is alive." The soldier said, looking at me directly in the eyes. I was shocked at the news, and I gasped. I realized that it is has begun to come true. I began looking at the soldiers protecting me from my sides. "Go. Find the pony and bring him here immediately." I ordered a guard near me. "Yes your highness." A guard said, running out of the throne room with three other guards. As they were out of my sight, I got up from the throne and walked towards a window. I sighed as I looked at it, it had a picture of a certain dark blue pegasus, flying above all the ponies, with an evil smile formed on it's face. "Why did you come back?" I asked, to no pony in particular, as I kept looking at the window, and then I looked down at the ground. Maybe I should write a letter to my faithful student. No, I don't want her involved with something this big. I got to put him away before this begins.
Chapter 1Chapter 2 The Element of Mischief Chapter 2 Where am I? By Red Mare I awoke from my slumber, the sun shining directly in my face. Somepony please close the curtains so I can get back to sleep. I slowly opened my eyes and sat up . I began to check out my surroundings to see where I was. I was in some sort of cottage house thing with animals living in here. All the animals saw me get up from whatever I was sleeping on, and backed away from my presence. Great, even animals are afraid of me. I should just go and leave before I cause any more trouble than I should. Just as I begin to get up, I looked out a window and I saw a yellow pegasus outside feeding some birds. I bet she or he carried me to his or her home and took care of me. I better go thank him or her, and leave them be. I also need to figure out why ponies clad in gold armor want me. I walked down the stairs, and walked out the door. I hope this pony doesn't want me to hang around there home any longer. No pony should live with that kind of burden. That would just be ridiculous and not healthy. As I walked outside, I heard a beautiful humming coming from somewhere. So I walked around the cottage to find it, but just as I kept walking I fell down on the ground, and lost consciousnesses again. I think I should have rested a little more before I began to walk. ====================== Canterlot Castle I sat on the throne again, looking at the doors leading into the throne room. I waited for my guards to return to me with a report of or captured the pony. The pony that I want should be captured and brought before me, so Equestria is saved. I began to think if the pony wasn't captured, I don't know what could happen to all of Equestria. My four pegasi guards, clad in golden armor bowed down in front of me. I didn't even know they entered the throne room at all. I looked at them and I asked, "Where's the pony I told you to bring to me?" One of the pegasi stood up, removing his helmet, and he replied, "He's in Ponyville your highness. He simply got away from us." I became shocked at the news. The pony I wanted to be captured, just got away. I stood up from my throne, walked down to ground level, and I began to pace back and forth in front of my four pegasi guards. All four pegasi looked at my behavior curiously, then one of them asked, "Your highness, what's wrong with this one pony? Surely he cannot be a threat to Equestria." I stopped pacing, I looked at my guards, and I sighed and dropped my head. I replied, "The pony that you found earlier, is not a normal pony at all." "What do you mean your highness?" Another guard asked, confused. "There is much more you need to know about this pony before you go after him again." I replied, seriousness in my voice. All four guards were listening as I continued, "The pony you all are after, is an element...." "An Element! You're highness he's not a Element of Harmony is he?!" All four guards asked in unison, shocked at the discovery. Their eyes were widen to the size of three dinner plates, and their mouths were hanging wide open. "No. He isn't a Element of Harmony. Let's just say, Discord wasn't the only Element of Disharmony." I replied, my voice now icy cold. My guards looked very confused about what I said about Discord. I sighed loudly enough for my guards to hear. "Your Highness. What is an Element of Disharmony?" One of the guards asked, curious about the new information. "An Element of Disharmony doesn't want peace and harmony. This elements only want to cause only one thing, destruction, and chaos. I had to hide this information from all the ponies, you my guards, and my young sister Luna for a good reason. And that reason is why we have the Elements of Harmony till this day." "You mean everypony doesn't knows about this information besides you alone?" One of the guards asked, all four of them now know the truth. "Yes, well no, I wasn't the only one who knew. Star Swirl the Bearded did a foresight into the future and he told me about it coming into fruition. Back then I didn't believe him, but now I do, and that is why we must stop this. So are you in or are you all out?" I said, looking at my guards dead in the eye. With the piece of information said, my guards looked at me. The four of them huddled together, whispering words that I can't possibly hear. I hope they stay on my side, because of what I told them. But however they all maybe might leave me because I kept this hidden from them and everypony else. I never wanted to keep this information a secret from everypony bit it was for their safety that I did it for. The four guards turned back towards me and one of them asked, "What does this pegasus look like your highness?" I looked at them and I began to describe what this stallion looks like. I hope we can capture this pony quickly before things get out of hoof.
Chapter 2Chapter 3 The Element of Mischief Chapter 3 Meeting By Red Mare ============= Back in Ponyville I awoke up in the same cottage again, but something was different. I looked around, and I was in the same room again, but there was somepony watching me from the creak of an open door. I chuckled slightly, slowly got up, and said, "You can come in." Just as I said that, I saw a yellow pegasus with a long pink mane and tail, walk in. I wonder why she was taking so long just to approach me. Do I really smell bad or something? I sniffed myself, and I totally reek of sweat, dirt, grass, and leaves. I began to laugh hysterically at myself, that is when then I felt a hoof touch my forehead. I looked at this pegasus eyes, they were a deep sea blue, I just couldn't look away from the beauty. Then I noticed something about the pegasus's flank, there were three pink butterflies. I then remembered at the market, I saw a yellow mare pegasi with the same exact cutie mark. Could it be that this pony is the same one I saw at the market? I asked, "What's your name?" The pegasi stopped and looked at me, a smile formed on her face as she replied, "M..m...my name is Fluttershy. Who are you?" At first I was shocked that the pegasi in front of me is actually a mare. Oh boy I'm in trouble now. I replied, "Haze. Caizo Haze. Haze for short if you like." "Nice to meet you, Caizo." She said, kindly. "Caizo works too. I thank you for your hospitality. I probably owe you one big time. But I should leave." I said, getting up off the bed, and landing on all fours, and I began to walk away from her. As I reached the door, I felt something tug at my tail. I turned slightly and Fluttershy was biting gently on my tail. If I had a bit for every time Fluttershy kept gently biting my tail, I'd be one of those rich snob ponies in Canterlot. I smiled a bit, and asked, "What exactly are you doing, Miss Fluttershy?" "Um... well you shouldn't go outside yet." Fluttershy told me, now I'm really confused. "Well why not?" I asked her, curiously. "Well what if you go unconscious again, fall over something, or worse." She replied, her eyes going wide thinking of something bad happening to me. She is so cute when she worries about others. I laughed a bit, trying not to scare her animals or her. Then I told her, "I been through worse than this Miss Fluttershy." Fluttershy then fell and fainted, as I caught her unconscious body in my hooves. Great, maybe I shouldn't have told her that. I probably should take care of her and her animals until she wakes up. I gently put her on the bed I was sleeping in and I put the blankets over her body. Covering most of her body, I put her hooves on top of the blankets as I looked at her animals. This is going to be hard and it's going to be a long day for me. "Let's do this, Leroy Jenkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. =================== Canterlot Castle I now just told my guards what the pegasi looked and what he was. The pegasi is indeed an Element, but much more dangerous than Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis, Discord, and Sombra. I just hope they will capture him soon or all of Equestria is doomed to fall. I looked at the window again, the same one with the pegasi with an evil smile, flying over the ponies. I dropped my head, knowing full well if this prophecy comes true. Just then I heard the doors open and my sister entered the room. She walked towards me, and she asked, "Why keep staring at this my dear sister?" I had no choice, but to reply to my sister, "This could be the end of everything we hold dear to us Luna. I'm so scared of what could happen to our little ponies." "Then why did thou put him in the royal guard unit when he could have been such a danger to society?" Luna asked me, concerned. "Because I thought he.. wouldn't be a danger or a threat to Equestria." I replied, knowing that I lied to myself and Luna. True, I put the same pegasus in our royal guard unit to see if he had skill, and he passed with flying colors. But now it was different, he could be a threat and danger to Equestria and I can do nothing to stop it. "Luna I think it's time I showed you something." I finally said, I began to walk away from the window. Luna walked right beside me. We made it to the Harmony Chamber, where the Elements of Harmony were there before I gave them to my faithful student and her friends in case something bad happens, like if Discord were to go evil again. "Sister why are we here?" Luna asked me. I dropped my head, knowing I should of told Luna sooner than hide the truth from her. So this time I told her, "There is an element worse than Discord, worse than Chrysalis, worse than Nightmare Moon, and worse than Sombra." "Another element of evil. Surely sister there's nothing that can be or even exist." Luna told me, a smile on her face. I want to believe her, I really do, but I kept going, "There is another element Luna. I just haven't told you." Luna's smile disappeared, as I told her. She was curious so I showed her an amulet. This is just like the Alicorn Amulet but it was different. It had a black neck line to attach to a ponies neck, a red orb was in the center. It shined brightly as the sun deflected off of it. My sister's eyes widen at it, she then asked, "What kind of Element are we talking about and thou are dealing with dear sister?" I replied, "We are talking about the Element of Mischief. And the pony we're dealing with is in Ponyville right now, at this very moment." My sister Luna just looked at me, like I had hid something from her for almost a thousand years. She screamed at the top of her lungs and I knew this could mean a lot of trouble.
Chapter 3Chapter 4 The Element of Mischief Chapter 4 What Just Happened? By Red Mare "Another evil element! Sister how dangerous can he be right now?!" Luna asked me, pacing back and forth. I knew this question would come up sooner or later, there's no hiding anything from my sister at this very moment. So I replied, "He could probably take Equestria anytime, right under our hooves Luna. I just don't know when or how that will happen." Luna stopped pacing and looked at me dead in the eye as she said, "I want to find this pony before he does that my dear sister. I'll send my night guards to capture him, if necessary." I looked at my sister in the eye, she was determined to help save Equestria at any cost. So I nodded my head, and she began to smile. I watched my sister go, leaving me to gather my thoughts, and to have a plan ready to end this once and for all. ============= Back in Ponyville I can't believe how many animals Miss Fluttershy has. It took me a couple of hours to feed them, bathe them, read them a bed time story, and finally put them all to sleep. I'm actually surprised Miss Fluttershy didn't wake up to all of the chaos that just happened recently. Her cottage was a mess, so right now at the moment, I'm cleaning it up. It's late in the evening, so I stopped and I looked at the clean cottage as I sat down on a couch. I couldn't believe that I'm not sore in the wings or hooves, but that's beside the point. I heard my stomach grumble, I guess I should probably cook something up. I did work up an appetite. I walked towards the kitchen. That's when I noticed a yellow pegasi watching me from a distance. I chuckled a bit, couldn't help it if I was being spied on from a distance. I said, "You can come out now." I saw Miss Fluttershy walked slowly towards me. Do I really smell that bad? I sniffed myself and I do kind of reek from running, feeding, sweat, dirt, grass, leaves, and doing all the chores while Fluttershy was sleeping in the bed. Or was she sleeping? Did she fake being fainted so she could see me do all of her chores? I really don't know and I guess I'll never find out. Fluttershy then approached me, I waited patiently for her to speak. I could feel an awkward silence forming around us. I tried to speak first, but then I noticed something moving outside. I saw a shadow move, so I got in front of Fluttershy and she stood behind me. She didn't know what was going on, but I do so that's why I waited for whoever was coming. There was a knock on the door, I slowly walked towards it, knowing full well who it could be. I reached for the door handle, I opened the door slightly. I then saw two ponies dressed in black armor and they both had bat wings. Their eye pupils were dilated, as they looked down at me. Oh great, here we go again. One of them spoke, "Are you the pony we're looking for?" This was my chance to get away. So I lied to them, "No. I'm just a normal pegasi like any other, just crashing here for a little bit." "Well we'll be on our way then." The other spoke. They both began to walk away from the cottage, when a third one appeared from the night sky. Well at least I tried to lie and get away from them. So I closed the door to the cottage, locking it, and placing the couch near the door. Hoping it would by me sometime to get away and think of a plan. I then looked back at Fluttershy, and an idea formed in my head. I whispered to Fluttershy, "Take me in as one of your sex slaves, whores, or something of that nature you paid for this evening." Fluttershy whispered back to me, "Oh.... my. Um... are you sure?" I couldn't help but a chuckle a bit. Then I stopped and I replied, "Yes I'm sure. You found me and payed me to have sex with you. Just try to convince them that it's real." Fluttershy looked down at the ground, I hope she doesn't take too long to think because those three ponies were already banging hard against the door, trying to break it down. Fluttershy then looked up at me, trotted towards a closet. This is no time to disguise yourself or myself, just please go with my plan. Just then she returned with a black leather collar, attached to a long black leash. It's always the quiet, timid, and shy ones, that always have the weird stuff. I nodded my head, and she put the collar on my neck. She held the leash in her hoof as the three ponies busted the door down. I hope this plan of mine works because I really hate this plan already. The guards walked up towards us, looking at me fiercely. "We're to take you in." One of the pony bat things said, walking closer to me. I closed my eyes and waited for the guard to take me. But then I heard Fluttershy spoke up, "If you take him how will he get his bits from me?" I looked at her, she was smiling, not an evil smile just a little happy smile. Now I'm wondering where in the name of Tartus she came from because she kept going, "I found him in the alleyways of the market today and saw he was lonely and didn't have a home. So I took him in and well, he owes me big time for letting him stay here." The pony bat thing's jaw just dropped to the floor. My eyes widen as dinner plates thinking Miss Fluttershy would break under the pressure, but she didn't. She isn't sweating under any pressure. Even I could be convinced by her performance. I began to smile a bit when she walked over towards me and said, "Now you know the rule. I want you to get on the bed up stairs and lay there for me, or I'll get the crop again." Does it feel weird to have a mental wing boner at this very moment? I ask myself as I walked up the stairs but then something choked me. I looked back at Fluttershy and she held the leash in here hoof still. She looked up at me, with the same happy smile, then I put it together. Great Celestia, she is playing the Mistress card on me and the guards in the room, I'm giving her credit for the part she was playing. So I waited for her, then just like that, the guards left her house with crimson blushes on their faces. Fluttershy then walks towards me. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. Please tell me you're still not stuck in the role. I closed my eyes, hoping Fluttershy wasn't in the acting role. I waited for what was going to happen, then I heard a click. I looked down and the collar was off of me or my neck I should say. I looked at Fluttershy and she was still smiling at me. What just happened?
Chapter 4Chapter 5 The Element of Mischief Chapter 5 Big Huge Surprise By Red Mare I looked at Fluttershy, as we both walked up the stairs, and we both made and entered her bedroom. I asked "What just happened?" She then walked back down the stairs, to the foyer of her cottage, and she put the collar away. I followed her because now I'm really, mentally, physically, and utterly confused what just happened recently. Sure we both did convinced those night guards as Fluttershy told me who they were. I did get a mental wing boner from her acting out her Mistress role. And she was kind of right when she said I had no home. I did too have a home somewhere in Ponyville right. Right? As I approached her, she was mumbling something under her breath. I couldn't quite hear what she said, but I'm sure it had something to make me leave. So that's what I did I began to walk towards the door of her cottage, when I felt a gentle nibble on my tail again. I knew who it was and I didn't need to turn around and face her. "Where are you going?" Fluttershy asked me, confused. I replied, "I thank you for your hospitality Miss Fluttershy but I can't be here anymore. So I'm leaving and I hope to see you around again when this is all over." I replied, smiling. I opened the door and then I heard her say, "But you owe me two things because... because... because you probably would say that." That's when I realized I did say that I owe her one for the hospitality, and she told during her acting that I owe her another one. Great Caizo just great, why did I have to say that to her so she could keep me around longer. "But I'm a wanted pony, a fugitive against the law. If you keep me here any longer than you have to. Then the guards will put you in a dungeon or something." "That doesn't matter to me. I'm an Element of Harmony so stay with me." Fluttershy told me. "Are you sure? I don't want to impose or intrude." I said, trying to convince her to not get in any trouble. "I'm fine with it really." She smiled at me. I couldn't help but smile back at her. She wanted me to stay here but I'm just a burden so why. Why keep me here, if I'm a wanted criminal? I'm trying to figure that part out. =============== Canterlot Castle I couldn't sleep tonight because of the nightmares I kept seeing and having. Sweat was pouring down my face in fear, every time I had a bad dream. Each nightmare was different than the last. Ponies were either suffering or getting killed by him. I kept seeing that wicked evil smile, those eyes full of darkness and hate for everything that happened. I looked outside my window and I sighed at my sister's bright moonlight. I wonder if her guards had captured him. I quickly walked out of my room, down the hallway, and I saw my sister, Luna walking in my direction. I hope it's good news. By the time reached me, I saw a look of disappointment in her eyes as she saw me. "Tia, I have bad news." Luna began, looking down at the ground. "What is it Lulu?" I asked her, putting my hoof under her chin. As we both looked into each others eyes, I could tell, this isn't what I was going to like and hear one bit. Luna tried to look away, but I kept her head in my hooves. I looked into her eyes again, and I asked again, "What's the bad news Lulu?" Knowing she couldn't escape me, she sighed in defeat and replied, "My guards found the pony you're looking for. He's currently in Ponyville but with the shy pegasus. The one who bears the Element of Kindness." "Fluttershy! He's with Fluttershy!" I nearly shouted at the top of my lungs. Oh, now he drew the line when he escaped my guards and my sister's guards. Taking an Element of Harmony as a hostage is really pushing my limits. I hope you're ready, cause now I will stop at nothing to get you captured and you are brought here. I could tell Luna was looking at me. She was worried I might go to far. She's right, so I took a couple deep breaths and calmed down a bit. I then got an idea. One that no pony or he wouldn't expect at all. I'm going to go to Ponyville, along with some guards, and I'm going to meet the pony. I will finally get to know the threat face to face. I should probably write a letter to my faithful student, telling her I'm coming to have fun and party. Which would be the truth, I would celebrate my victory. I left my sister to look at me, smiling happily as I can be. Actually, I think I might be victorious if my plan goes smoothly. I walked back towards my room, to get some sleep. As I was walking back, I couldn't help but smile all the way there. I'm going to be victorious and nothing will stop me from getting this threat. Nothing. ================ Fluttershy's Cottage I couldn't believe how exhausted I was. I just don't know what happened that made me and Fluttershy do that. I leaned on the couch, thinking how to make sure that went well enough. I then heard a knock at the door, I groaned in pain as I got up from the couch and walked towards the door. I was just getting comfy too, before I reached the door, I saw Fluttershy sleeping on the floor of her house, a smile escaped me. She just looked so adorable, sleeping on the floor, I walked up towards her, picked her up with my hooves and gently put her down on the couch. She kept snoring a bit, so I put a blanket on her, covering her up so she kept warm, and not catch a cold. I then lifted her head, and put a pillow under her. I then walked back towards the door and opened it. As I opened the door, I saw a purple unicorn, pacing back and forth. I wondered what was wrong so I asked, "Hello, can I help you with something?" That caught the unicorn's attention, she looked at me, and jumped at me. As I was tackled to the ground, I looked up at the purple unicorn, and she looked like she needed something to get off of her chest, big time. I was feeling uncomfortable with this unicorn being on top of me, so I finally asked, "Can you do me a favor Miss?" Realizing that she was on top of me, she slowly got off, a blush forming on her face told me more than I wanted to. I got up from the ground, dusting myself off, and asked, "Can I help you with something?" She looked at me, still blushing, and she replied, "I'm looking for my friend Fluttershy. I really need to tell her something important." "Okay first of all, could take this conversation outside?" I asked. "Sure I guess." The purple unicorn replied, as she walked backwards, eyeing me suspiciously. "Okay." I said, as I followed her outside of Fluttershy's cottage. When we both were outside, I closed the door gently making sure not to disturb a sleeping Fluttershy. I then turn myself around and looked at the purple unicorn again. She then asked me, "Who are you?" I probably should of introduced myself to her before the question came up. So I replied, "My name is Caizo Haze. Haze for short if you like to call me by that." "Okay Caizo. Could you get Fluttershy so I can talk to her about something important?" The purple unicorn asked me, looking at me. "I'm sorry who are you exactly?" I asked her, because she seemed familiar to me. "I'm Twilight Sparkle." She said to me, with a big smile. I smiled back at her. "So could you get Fluttershy for me?" Twilight asked me. "I'm sorry, Twilight. She's asleep at the very moment. But I can give her your message." I said. "Really?" Twilight said, scaring off a few birds. "Yes. Now what is it?" I asked, my patience running very low. "Well the princess is coming to town." The purple unicorn said to me. My jaw dropped to the ground. My eyes widen as the size of dinner plates.
Chapter 5Chapter 6 The Element of Mischief Chapter 6 The Nightmare By Red Mare As I got a new piece of information from Twilight Sparkle. I told her, "Thank you and have good night." As I slowly began closing the door. Princess Celestia, Raiser of the Sun was coming here in Ponyville. I couldn't believe what was happening, first the royal guards of the day and the night want to capture me for some reason. I wonder if the princess would know anything about that, I will have to ask her tomorrow or when she shows up in town. I had a hunch in my gut the answers that I seek will probably make me feel worse for what I really am. What am I really? Am I just a normal pegasus living in Equestria or is there something more about me that I don't know about. I won't never know until I see the princess face to face and ask her. This could be the worst mistake of my life, oh well I might as well get some sleep. No use trying to over think of the answer I might receive tomorrow or whenever the princess shows up. I laid down on the floor, closed my eyes, and drifted off to sleep. As I slept, I began to have a dream that turns into a nightmare. The dream went something like this before turning into the nightmare. It was nice beautiful day in Ponyville. I was in town, walking along the streets being greeted by everypony. Just a natural good day, but that is when it takes a turn for the worse. The sky goes completely dark, the town buildings are in ruins, and I 'm wearing some sort of necklace thing. I looked at the ponies and they were wearing shackles on their necks as they were bowing down to me. This is not real, this is not real, this is not real. Not real. Not real. "Not real you say. A voice said, echoing from somewhere. I began to look around to find the owner of the voice but I found no pony. That is when I saw a dark mist shape thing came in front of me. I wonder what that thing was as it began to take a form of it's true self. I lowered my head, sprouted my wings, and I was in a battle stance as I got ready to attack whatever black mist pony is. That is when it's form took shape of somepony familiar. I couldn't believe who I was staring at. The pony that I was staring and looking at was me in a black mist cloud shape though. Except it's scars were not red but white. "This makes no logic sense." I said, to my black mist self. "What doesn't make logic sense?" The black mist asked, looking at me dead in the eye. "Well how can you be me when I'm me?" I had to ask, confused. Looking down at myself. "It's quite simple really. I'm you and you are me. We both are destined to be rulers of Equestria." The dark shade said, an evil smirk forming on his face. "What?! There is no way I would ever do that." I said, my anger now building up in me. "Oh it will happen and you know you're going to love it. Including the queen you will pick." The black mist me said, disappearing before my eyes. "Wait." I said, trying to talk more to this dark side of me. No pony replied but I could hear an evil laughter echoing somewhere close by. I need to wake up. Wake up. Wake up. I woke up with a start, jumping as I sat up. Sweat formed on my brow and started to slide down my face very slowly. I check my surroundings just to make sure the dream wasn't real. I looked towards the couch, where Fluttershy was sleeping and I saw the couch was empty. Oh no. No, no, no, no no, no. Please tell me that dream wasn't real. I ran towards the couch just to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks on me or I was still half asleep. I looked at the couch and no yellow pegasus came into my vision. Fluttershy was really gone.
Chapter 6Chapter 7 The Element of Mischief Chapter 7 Them Again By Red Mare This can't be happening! This can't be happening! This can't be happening! This can't be happening! This can't be happening! This can't be happening! I couldn't believe my eyes what I just saw in front of me. That dream or nightmare I should call it, was real. Fluttershy wasn't on the couch where I put her last night. The sun was just beginning to rise, as I kept looking all over the cottage for any sign of the yellow pegasus. I then notice something different about the place I'm staying in. It was getting colder than usual, as I began to shiver, my teeth were clattering, and goosebumps began to form on my entire body. I looked for something warm to cover me, so I won't get to cold. I used the blanket I gave Fluttershy last night and I began covering myself. Sweet cherry candy corn, why is it so cold in her cottage of all sudden? I probably should just go back to sleep, and hope for the best. No, I shouldn't go back to sleep. What kind of stallion would I be if I couldn't find my hostess? Maybe a selfish stallion bastard, who doesn't care. I have to find Fluttershy and fast before black mist ghost, who looks like me gets her first and uses her against me. Why am I so obsessed with this yellow pegasus? I know she can be kind, caring, and takes care of animals. Also, she is very beautiful even if she doesn't want to admit it. I'm not sure why, but I think there is something about Fluttershy that keeps me from going insane. I think I may know the reason. I know the real reason why I can't stop thinking about her. I think I'm starting to fall in love with her. No, I'm in love with her. I know that now, for a fact. Either that or I'm crazy, and I'm just assuming that I love Fluttershy. No, I can't be assuming that I love her, I know that I love her, and nothing is going to stop me from admitting it. I'm crazily in love with Fluttershy. She must and cannot know that I love her yet. I began to jump around and fly through the house with sheer joy. I was in love with somepony and I was happy for the first time in my life. That is when my body began to act differently. I started to descend from my over excitement and I landed on the ground. That is when it struck, something bad began to happen to me. My body froze in place, my legs felt like jelly as they wobbled out of control. I then fell over onto my side, hitting the hard wood floor below me with a loud thud. My eyes were shutting and closing very slowly as I saw Fluttershy's cottage blur into blackness in my vision. Here we go to unconscious land again. I hate myself right now. ================================================================================= I awoke several minutes or hours later, I couldn't tell, as I slowly got up. I opened my eyes clearly and I saw that I was on the couch on the first floor of Fluttershy's cottage. Who lifted me and put me on here, is the one and only question that is running in my head at the very moment. I then began to smell something being cooked, it came from the cottage's kitchen. I wonder who is cooking as I walked towards the next room, where the aroma of food got stronger. I opened the door to the next room slowly, and to my surprise I saw a variety of cooked foods on the biggest table that I have ever seen. Miss Fluttershy, what else do you own in this house that I or anypony else don't know of? I walked through the door completely, and walked towards the table. My stomach began to make grumblings noises. This is where I lose my mind and talk to my stomach for a bit. Grumble, Grumble My stomach told me it was hungry. "You said you could wait for a week." I said back to my stomach. Grumble, Grumble My stomach told me it couldn't wait any longer. "Are you hungry right now?" I asked my stomach. Grumble My stomach told me yes it was. "That is all I need to hear from you." I finally gave in to the hunger temptation, as I began to walk around the table to see what I could eat. Everything looked absolutely delicious, I don't even know where to start. There was fresh baked bread, pie, hot honey in a jar, daisies, stuff for salad, and last but not least, there were a bunch of carrots with some white whipped cream and fresh red cherries were on top. As I kept looking at the food, I notice that all the animals Miss Fluttershy takes care of are staring at me. Maybe I should let them eat first, before I consume the food on the table. "Alright you animals, dig in." I said, looking at all the animals. =============================================================================== A few minutes have past and there was some left over food for me to eat. I thank all of the animals living inside this cottage for leaving me something to eat. I grabbed a plate, and ran over to the table, and I picked up everything that was left over. I picked up two pieces of baked bread, two carrots with white whipped cream and fresh red cherries, a slice of pie, and some daisies. No I'm not girly, I'm just hungry. Maybe I shouldn't be rhyming, with my timing. Great now I can't stop rhyming, without trying. I'm really hating myself right now. Ha take that rhyme, I rule and you drool. Damn it, I did it again. Maybe I should just eat something before I lose my mind again. Before I could take a bite out of a sweet delicious carrot, I saw a little snow white bunny hopping towards me. His eyes looked at me then at the carrot in my hoof. I saw his ears flatten against his head as I realized none of the animals must have left one for this little guy. I then handed him the carrot I was about to eat, and he took it. Now back to the other delicious food on the plate. I took a piece of baked bread, and before I could eat it, the snow white bunny had hopped onto my lap. I looked down at him and he looked up back at me. "Okay mister snow bunny, here's the deal," I said to him, as he seemed to be paying attention to what I was saying. So I continued, "I'm trying to eat here, and you keep stopping me from doing so. So I'm going to give a chance to get off of my lap and let me eat or I shall not make those reservations I promised you earlier." The bunny seemed to be confused about what I said. I never even promised him reservations at all, so why did I bring that up anyway. I guess I'm really hungry. Just before I could continue my rant, I heard a familiar voice say, "Awwwwww Angel. Did you make a new friend?" I turned my head and I saw Fluttershy, smiling at me and Angel, as she entering her cottage. She's okay, so that means my nightmare didn't come true at all. But who in the name of blueberries is angel? I looked down at the whit bunny again, this time I figured it out. Angel huh, more like Devil should be his name. I looked at Fluttershy again and I noticed that she was wearing a pink scarf, pink striped socks, and yellow boots. Where was she exactly? I need to know to get some closure. "Fluttershy. Where were you?" I asked, looking at her. "Well, ummm I was at the market to get some food for my animal friends. And as I was walking back home, I accidentally bumped into two ponies." She told me, as she walked towards a coat hanger and she hunged her scarf around it. Two ponies huh, I wonder who she might've bumped into. So I asked, "What did these ponies look like?" "Well ummm. They were a married couple I know that. They both were pegasuses. One was a mare she looked very beautiful like a model, and another one was a big muscular stallion." Please tell me she isn't talking about who I think she is talking about. She continued, "They told me they both were looking for their son that ran away from home when he was six." Sweet merciful apple sauce, please tell me she isn't going to say she invited them over. She continued, "So after I apologized, I told them they could come to my cottage for some tea." Buck me in the flank. I think I know who Fluttershy was talking about. I know for a fact the reason they are looking for me. That is when I heard a knock on the door, I told Fluttershy, "I'll get it." I walked towards the door, and before I opened it I began to pray to myself. Please don't be them. Please don't be them. Please don't be them. Please don't be them. Please don't be them. Please don't be them. Please don't be them. I opened the door and I was greeted by two ponies, one a mare and the other a stallion like Fluttershy said. "Hello Caizo sweetie." The mare said to me, with a smile. "Hello kiddo. How have you been all this time?" The stallion said to me, with a smile. "Caizo is there something wrong?" Fluttershy asked me, concerned in her voice. Somehow I didn't hear her walking towards me at all. "No nothing is wrong. It's just...." I felt awkward about to say this next part. "What is it Caizo?" Fluttershy asked me, looking at me with worry. "Well I umm can't believe you just met my...." I tried to say, but was cut off. "Could we please come in Caizo sweetie?" The mare on the outside asked me, she began to shiver a little. "Yeah kiddo, could we come in before we catch a cold or something? The stallion asked me. "Caizo who are these ponies. And how do they know you?" Fluttershy asked me, this time wanting to know the truth. So I gave her the truth by saying, "Fluttershy these ponies that you met. They are my parents."
Chapter 7Chapter 8 The Element of Mischief Chapter 8 Who's The Weak One Now! By Red Mare While Fluttershy was in her kitchen, making tea. I had to sit in the foyer and chat with my most hated enemy in all of Equestria, my parents. Every time they looked at me I would put up a fake smile, then when they turned away, I would glare at them with anger in my eyes. I remembered what they did to me when I was five years old and let's just say they didn't love me like a real family would love their own son and daughter. My parents were the exact opposite of a loving family. When I was five my dad would throw me against the wall of our old house. Well the house wasn't old, I just think it was. But besides that, my dad would then walked up towards me, and when I started to cry, he told me I was a weak stallion. Some father, but my mother was even worse than him. My mother would come into my bedroom at night, comfort me about the beating I got that day. I would loved her if she left my abusive dad, but she didn't. When I was relaxed by my mother's comforting, she would, this might sound weird. She would touch my penis and make it hard on purpose. I would tell her that my wee wee is hurting, and she would teasingly, lick it to make it worse than usual. By the age of six, I couldn't take living in the same house as them, so I gathered what I might needed the most. I packed six juice boxes, take some left overs from meal we had previously, a few coloring books and crayons, and my teddy bear. Shut up, every little colt and filly needed a childhood friend somewhere. Anyways, as soon I saw that no pony was home, I opened the door and walked out and I ran away. And now here I am all grown up and staring at my abusive parents again. I probably should tell Fluttershy about what they did before they came over. I bet they aren't here just to say 'hello and come back home to us son'. I know them all to well and soon Fluttershy will too. "Son are you okay?" My dad asked me, looking at me with concern. "I'm just fine Dick." I replied bluntly to my father. That is when I heard a gasp and I saw Fluttershy holding her tea tray. She then scolded me, "Caizo no need to use such language towards your dad like that." "Fluttershy, that's my dad's name." I said to her, being honest. "Really, his name is Dick." Fluttershy said, trying not to sound confused. "Yes it is Miss Fluttershy." My dad said, being a gentle stallion. Drop the act old man. "Quite honestly sweet Fluttershy. His name is Dick Storm." My mom said, smiling. "Yeah and my mom's name is Mist Fog Tank." I said, rolling my eyes saying my mom's name. "Oh okay. Please too meet you both." Fluttershy said, offering a smile of her own towards my parents. Great now even the friend that I have a crush on is liking my parents. Just wait till I tell her what they did to me when I was younger. I looked at my dad and he looked like he had a question on his mind. I hope the question he asks isn't too embarrassing. Fluttershy took her seat next to me, which made me feel kind of comfortable. I mean we aren't a couple but that is exactly what we were looking like. Just sitting there together, alone, my parents were watching us. I then heard my dad coughed for attention. Fluttershy and I looked at him, and this is where my life should end. "So are you two dating? My dad asked us both. I immediately wanted to fly away from this situation, go to the Everfree Forest, scream my heart out, and let the Timber Wolves eat me. Good plan Caizo, now to put it into action. Before I could get off the couch Fluttershy and I sat on, I felt her yellow hoof on mine, I looked at her, and she looked like she didn't want me to let her stay with my parents by herself. Well of course, no sane pony would want to be with my parents alone, my parents would unload their questions on the poor soul. So I stayed with her until my parents decide to leave. My father looked at the clock on Fluttershy's wall and said, "Well honey it's about time we head back to our house." "Already dear. I want to spend sometime with our son a little more." My mother said, trying to get my dad to stay a little longer. Please for the love of fresh baked pancakes, just leave already you two. I'm so glad that I didn't say that out loud, that would actually embarrass me in front of Fluttershy also it would be rude to say such a thing. My dad then leaned into my mom's ear and whispered something. Good thing he doesn't know I can read his lips and I got to say I didn't like what I saw. So I asked, "So how long have you two been working with Celestia?" Fluttershy, my mom, and my dad, all their eyes widen, and their mouths hung wide open in complete udder shock. "How did you know what I said son?" My dad asked sternly, there you are my real dad. "I can read lips now." I replied bluntly, come on daddy, bring the violence. "Oh can you now?" He asked, trying to be tough. "Yeah I can. What are you gonna do about it?" I said, beginning to smile. "Well honey maybe we should teach our son a lesson about butting into other ponies conversations." My father said to my mother. Both of them began to get evil smiles of their own as they looked at Fluttershy instead of me. I know what they're going to do and I got in front of Fluttershy to protect her. "Caizo?" Fluttershy said, looking at me. "I'm sorry Fluttershy." I said to her, not looking at her. "So son are you really going to protect her from us." My father said to me, glaring at me. "You both don't deserve to call me your 'son' anymore traitors." I said to them, darkly. "We are your parents and we will call you son or whatever we so please." My mom said, getting up from her chair. "Indeed. You're nothing but a weak son who won't lay a hoof on us." My father said, getting up from his chair. My smile turned into a wicked evil grin as I began to laugh evilly like a mad pony. "What's so funny son?" My parents asked in unison, confused why I'm laughing. "Die." Is all I said, as I quickly was in between the two of them. My parents looked shocked at what I just did, and their eyes had widen to the point where their eyeballs should have fallen out of their eye sockets. I grabbed my mom lifting her off the ground, then I lifted my dad off the ground next and I threw them out the front door of Fluttershy's cottage. The door broke on impact with the weight of my throw and both my parent's weight, which made it break with ease. I then walked slowly, enjoying this so much, and taking my sweet time. I should have done this when I got back from the Griffon war but this moment will have to do for now. As I slowly approached my parents who have been grounded, I looked at them and said," Who's the weak one now? I thought it was me but I guess it was you both." My father got up first, he glared at me with a intent glare to kill me. Good come get papa. My dad and I slowly got into a battle stance, our wings sprouted out wards, both of us crouched downward and we stared at each other. Both of us didn't dared move unless the other opponent moved first. Rain stared to pour down from the grey cloudy sky above, causing the dirt to become mud. Lightning flashed, and that is when my dad, Dick Storm flew off the ground and towards me. That is when I struck him, I crouched even further down, my muzzle touching the mud ground my dad's stomach right in position and I swung with all my weight, sending my body upward. I made contact and my dad coughed out a little blood from the huge impact I made. He then descended to the ground, clutching his stomach, as he hit the muddy ground. "S...Son." My dad said, before he passed out. "I'm not your son anymore." I said while looking down at him . "Dick!" My mother screamed as she rushed to his side. I looked at her with pity, and walked away from the both of them. I saw Fluttershy standing at her doorway and I realized I couldn't be here any longer, so without looking at her and without saying a good bye to my host. I took to the sky and flew away. I hope Fluttershy doesn't find me again for a long time.
Chapter 8Chapter 9 The Element of Mischief Chapter 9 Honest Prisoner By Red Mare I flew into a unknown direction and didn't look back at all. I know I just showed my violent side to Fluttershy, and she probably doesn't want to see me ever again. Tears had started to leak from my eyes as I cried at the lost of losing my friend that I made. Why me? Why does it have to be me? I asked myself over and over again. Why does Celestia want me captured? Why go to such lengths just to provoke me? Just why? Why should I care about a stupid idea? I then spotted empty little shack near the edge of the Everfree Forest. So I descended downwards, as my wings were aching from flying away for who knows how long I've been flying? I landed softly onto the ground, my wings went back into my sides as I walked towards the little shack. As I looked at it, it looked as if no pony would want to live there. Windows were broken, the front door was hanging off it's hinges, the roof looked like it could use some good ol cleaning, there was a hole in the roof, and lastly, the whole shack was made out of wood from a red oak tree. I walked up towards the shack, opened the door, and entered it. Welcome home Caizo. As soon as I entered, I spotted a bed in the middle of place. The bed looked brand spanking new for a old shack like this. The blanket was a quilt, that could cover a family of eight ponies, the pillows were small, and the bed it's self was probably a queen size bed meant for two ponies. I jumped onto the bed, removed the top part of the quilt, crawled under, and I closed my eyes and drifted off towards sleep land. Good night Ponyville, hope you all have wonderful dreams. ============================================================================ I woke up to a bright sunny new day. I guess Celestia is coming to town today. I bet she wants to meet me and capture me, so I can't hurt anypony else. Well maybe I should just turn myself in and be done with the rest of my life behind dungeon bars. Hoping for the best, I crawled from under the quilt, and landed on the floor with all four of my hooves. I stretched myself, smacked my lips together, and walked out of the shack. I then notice that Ponyville wasn't to far from here, so I walked towards the town, hoping to get captured by any royal guards along the way. This day isn't what I thought it would be. As I entered town, all the ponies were cheering for me for what I did. But what did I do to get such gratitude? I then notice a wanted poster, on a street lamp post with my parents faces on it. They were wanted for what reason. My parents never did anything bad besides abusing me, trying to take and turn me in, and almost taking Fluttershy as a hostage. There is nothing else they could have done right? I should probably ask Princess Celestia what my parents are wanted for. I looked around town and I saw Fluttershy talking with Twilight across from where I am. I better avoid them, so I don't attract too much attention. I slowly walked backwards, that is until I bumped into somepony. I froze in fear, if I turned around and saw this pony. Could they actually kill me and end my life? I hope so, so I turned around fully and I came face to face with the Princess of the Sun herself. "Hello Caizo." She said, calmly. "Your highness." I said, bowing down to her. "Well it looks like we meet again." Celestia said to me, as I kept my head looking down at the ground. A few royal guards were by her side and surrounded the both of us in a heartbeat. this is my chance right here right now. So I said, "Take me in." "Wait what?" Celestia asked, confused what I just said to her. "I said just take me in." I said again, this time with more force in my voice. "Really just like that?" Celestia asked, in denial. "Yup just like that." I said to her. "But why turn yourself in already?" The Princess of the Sun asked, trying to make me spill every detail. So I honestly replied, "I just don't care anymore. My life is ruined the way it is. I know I'm a threat to Equestria, but I befriended Fluttershy along the way. We became good friends until my parents showed up at her cottage under your orders to capture me. I fought them, and ran away from Fluttershy and now here I am asking you to take me in without any need for restraints." My words sunk into Celestia's mind as I came out clean. I just really don't care anymore about me running away. I'm a strong stallion standing up to my own beliefs. And this is one of those beliefs right at this very moment. Celestia then lifted my head up so I can look into her eyes. She was confused about something, I could tell by the way she looked at me. She then said, "I never even told your parents anything Caizo." "Bull Bucking Shit." I said to her, as I slowly began looking at a royal guard who wanted to execute me in the day light hours. That could work too, please royal guard take your strong hooves and just strangle me to death. I then looked back at Celestia and she told me, "I haven't met your parents and told them anything about you." "More lies coming from you filthy mouth, Celestia." I said to her, as I know it was her who manipulated my parents to come after me. "But Caizo...." Celestia began. "No more ands, buts, ifs, and whats. Just take me in and be done with it already." I said, getting ready to break down. "Caizo...." The Princess said, as she just looked at me. "What do you want to say huh?!!! You want me to admit defeat!" I said, fresh new tears were escaping my eyes. "Caizo...." Celestia said again, she almost began to cry with me. "You won okay!!!!!! Are you bucking happy that I said it?!!!!!! Huh are ya?!!!!" I said, now crying my eyes out. The Princess of the Sun cried with me. Probably just tears of joy since she just won and beaten me. I landed on my stomach, and cried till my eyes were red and swollen. The guards all around us, had began crying with us as well. I don't what happened, but I know for a fact that I was still crying, tears were still running down my face, as the guards were guiding me to a black carriage meant for prisoners. All the citizens of Ponyville were watching me as I climbed up the little stairs, and entered the back of it. The door closed slowly and I got a glimpse of Twilight, Fluttershy, and some four other ponies watching me. When the door had finally closed, I sat down on a bench and waited to go to the Canterlot Dungeons. =========================================================== Night time approached very fast as I heard a party on the outside of the prisoner carriage. Why haven't I been taking to Canterlot yet? And what was taking Princess Celestia so long? Just then a shadow moved from the outside of the little window, so I got up and stood on my hind hooves to see who was outside the carriage. I looked to my left, then my right and I saw nothing. Must've been my imagination, might as well get some shut eye. I laid down on my stomach, so my back was facing the door and closed my eyes. "Hey Caizo right?" a voice asked from the other side of the door, making me open my eyes. "That's my name. Don't wear it out." I replied jokingly, even though I still tasted defeat in my mouth. "Um okay I won't. My name is Rainbow Dash, and I'm a friend of Fluttershy's." The voice known as Rainbow Dash said to me. "Great, nice too meet you." I said sarcastically. I really don't want to be bothered at the moment. "I'm trying to be a friend here and tell you something important." Rainbow said to me, I never even looked at her. "What are you here to do rub Celestia's victory in my face?" I asked bitterly, moving my head slowly towards the left, trying to get comfortable as I can. "Okay dude, seriously. What is your deal?!" Rainbow shouted at me. "My deal is that Celestia won this battle. So I'm giving up, so I don't have to ruin anypony's lives." I replied to her, trying not to sound depressed about it. "You know you could always thank me for bringing a guest over to see and visit you." Rainbow said to me. My ears never perked up though. So I continued to lay there on the cold wooden ground. "Dude are you seriously not wanting to see anypony?" Rainbow asked me, but I didn't reply to her question. All I did was let out a deep depressing sigh, letting her know that I was done talking. "Ugh fine go ahead. Ignore me, but just to let you know, I thank you for saving Fluttershy from your parents." Rainbow said to me, before I heard her hoof steps fade away into the distance. I began to cry again, I don't know why but I did. Maybe my dad was right about me. Maybe I am a weakling after all this time.
