Crezo's New Life

I ran my way back to Ponyville non stop. I couldn’t leave Redheart sad any longer. I ended up on her porch and knocked on the door. No answer I knocked again.....still no answer. “Redheart?” I said. “Redheart.....Redheart......REDHEART!” It stayed silent no answer this wasn’t like her. I put my hoof on the doorknob and tried to to twist it. It opened easily. I walked inside and went to her room. I heard her talking.

“Get out of my house.” She said. “I told you to leave me alone.” I was confused but kept listening.

“Calm yourself Redheart.” A voice said. It sounded familiar but I couldn’t put my hoof on it.

“I don’t want to hear it I told you I never wanted to see you again.”

“Just listen for a second-.”

“No not after what you’ve done to me and...him.” Now I was really confused. Is she talking to somepony I know.

“You never give me a chance to talk.”

“I’m done with this conversation leave.”

“I’m not leaving until we talk Redheart.”

“Get out now.”

“Woah woah drop the vase.”

“Leave before a bunch of glass gets stuck in your head.”

“Damn Redheart where is this coming from.” I said to myself.

“Okay okay I’ll leave.” The mysterious voice said. “But not without you.” I heard something pop and then smoke coming from under the door.

“Where the hell are these ponies getting this technology?” I asked myself. “Eh whatever.” I charged in the room. “Redheart I’m here to h- suddenly sleepy.” I fell over on my side fast asleep.

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

I woke up rubbing my head. “O why do I feel like I just got wasted four times in a row?” I stood to my hooves looking around. “Redheart’s....gone.” I looked toward the window and saw it was open. “Whoever took Redheart...better not sleep tonight.” I jumped out of the window and walked in a straight line.

I stopped walking for a second. “What am I doing?” I asked myself. “I have no idea where they went its going to be pointless if I just keep walking like nothing matters in the world. Hm maybe....I got it. HEY RAINBOW WAKE UP.”

“Huh, what, where..oh hey.....CREZO!” She said with shock.

“Yes its me I need your...why are you diving in my direction? O SHIT WAIT!” She tackled me to the ground and put her hoofs on my shoulders.

“How the hell are you alive?”

“Better question is why are you on top of me?”

“That’s not important. Now answer my question!”

“If you must know I never did die although I should of but I didn’t. I live somewhere else now far from here.”

“Your a fake aren’t you.”

“For Luna’s sake Rainbow. Oh my mother is gonna kill me for that one."

“So you are a fake.”

“RAINBOW GET THE HELL OFF!” She stood up straight when I said that. “Would a fake say that, would I be losing my mind right now if I was a fake!? Would I have all the personalities of myself if I was a fake I mean jeez come on Rainbow! Well....answer!”

“Ummmm....yes.”

“Oh for the love of...no its not important. What’s important is that Redheart has been taken.....maybe.”

“Maybe thats all you got really.”

“Thanks Rainbow for being the most supportive friend ever.”

“Well what do you want from me jeez.”

“Ok I need your help I think the person that was with her took her that way.” I said pointing. “But I’m not sure so I was hoping you co-” She flew off in the direction I was pointing so fast I almost fell over. “Do that yeah great thanks.” I saw her come flying back but not in the direction she left in...oh no she was coming from behind me.

“They....didn’t....go...that...way.” She said huffing.

“Ok.” I said looking at her. “Did you really just fly around the whole planet just to find that out?”

“Yeah...pretty much.”

“How the hell did you do it?”

“Oh yeah Twilight gave me this potion she wanted me to test.”

“Oh really?”

“Yeah she said a bunch of egghead stuff and then said it would make me fly faster. Soooo I drank it.” She started to smile.

“Ok thats great thanks for the help. I’m not sure how I’m gonna find her now but hey I guess I better start walking.” I started to walk away, my head hanging low. As I looked down at the ground I saw hoof prints. “Well um guess I could've looked for those huh.”

“Great job Crezo you found hoof prints.”

“Go grab your friends I’m going to need backup for this one.”

“On it.” She said flying off to get her friends.

“Oh boy for some reason I feel I’m going to have to do A LOT of explaining.”

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

“So you’re alive.” Twilight said, giving me a cold stare.

“Yep that’s right.” I said, hoping to end this conversation.

“How in tarnation did you live?” Applejack asked.

“Well that’s the thing. I don’t know.”

“Well you could always like think of what happened. Like I did when I threw Twilight a party and I was like *long gasp* and then she was happy and al-.” Twilight put a hoof her in Pinkie’s mouth.

“Pinkie I swear I thought we were over that.” Twilight said.

“Well...are you okay?” Asked Fluttershy.

“Yeah I’m fine now can we move on with this I need all of your help.” I said.

“Wait just a secon why isn’t Rarity saying anything?” Asked Applejack.

“That’s true normally she would freak out.” Said Rainbow

“O cause I already knew.” She said calmly, All of her friends looked at her. “What he came in my shop earlier and I made him that fabulous cloak.”

“Ok ok lets stop gushing over me now.” I said. “Yes I’m alive, No I don’t know how, I live somewhere else, LETS GET OFF IT AND MOVE ON. Redheart is in trouble and I need your help.”

“Don’t worry we’ll help ya fake Crezo.” Said Rainbow.

“I swear Rainbow I’m going to tape your wings shut and throw you into a pit of fire.”

“Okay please explain everything we need to know.” Twilight said.

“Finally something reasonable to respond to. Okay so I went over to Redheart’s house earlier going to set things right.”

“Set things right?” Twilight said in question.

“Its complicated I’ll get to that later. Anyways when I showed up at her house she was talking with somepony that sounded familiar. Not entirely sure who it is but I have a feeling its somepony I’ve seen before.”

“Any leads?”

“None all I know is that this pony had a sleep gas thing not entirely sure what that was. I saw the window was open so I ran out here and now theres hoof prints.”

“And you need us because?” Asked Applejack.

“I need you cause...well I need a team.”

“Why would you need a team?” Asked Rainbow. “You must be a fake.”

“Rainbow I swear...no not gonna get into this again. Now just give me more than five seconds to explain.”

“I’ll start counting.”

“Rainbow I swear. Now Redheart was taken.....I think.”

“Ya think....that’s all we have to go on?” Applejack asked.

“Sadly yes, she was in her house then suddenly poof. Thats all I can remember so I was hoping we can all search together. You know in case we need to take different paths to different areas stuff like that.”

“Well sounds like a plan.” Said Twilight. “We can all follow the hoof prints and split when we need to.”

“Thanks for the recap Twilight. Lets go who knows what’s happening to her right now.”

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

We all reach the end of the hoof prints.

“They just stop?” I said in question.

“How is that even possible?” Rainbow asked.

“He might be a unicorn.” Said Twilight.

“Look hoofprints!” Said Pinkie.

“Umm Pinkie...those are yours.” I said

“Ooooooh I knew that.”

“I swear we're going to get nowhere.”

“Stop swearing its not right darling.” Rarity said.

“That’s not what I-...no no forget it. Well I guess we have to split up now.”

“Its the only thing we can do.” Twilight said. “Alright split up everypony.” They all split off into different directions. I stood still thinking of where they might of taken her.

“Perhaps they took her somewhere we are not thinking of.” I said to myself. “But where would that be? What if these hoof prints are a distraction.” I kept thinking to myself looking down at the ground. “Hey what’s this?” I saw the dirt cut off in a weird way.

I place my hoof down on the line I saw but I didn’t feel dirt I felt metal. “Huh interesting.” I said. “Hey Tw- oh yeah they're gone. This is obviously a latch and now I’m on my own doing this.” I opened the latch and saw a ladder going down. I started to climb down the ladder. When I reached the bottom it instantly got cold.

“Jeez ever hear of a heater?” I said. I walked deeper into what seemed to be a tunnel. I couldn’t see anypony down here but I definitely heard voices. I kept walking forward hoping not to be spotted. I arrived in some sort of lab.

“Holy crap this place is huge.” I said. “Hm those ponies are talking. I gotta get closer.” I hid behind a crate next to the two ponies that were talking.

“Sir preparations are complete.” One pony said.

“Excellent then I will be able to finish my experiment?” The other pony said.

“Yes you will and we brought the girl just as you asked.”

“Excellent I know he’ll come out for that. Back to your duty.”

“Yes lord Gonko.”

My eyes went wide. “Gonko.....alive.”
