Split personalities

"Sister! I have received a reply from the Griffon Kingdoms!" Celestia said as Luna walked in.

"I still cannot believe I said empire instead of kingdom! Anyways, what does the letter say?" Luna asked her sister eagerly, her and the elements had been waiting a day for this reply and were getting worried for Sargast.

"Well a lot of it is incomprehensible, but I was able to figure out that Sargast made it safely there a while ago, and ended up drinking in a local bar until he passed out." Celestia said.

Luna laughed a little "Good thing he never got drunk, but he should have a heck of a hangover."

"You had best get going sister." Celesta said, holding back a laugh.

I had never drank alcohol before, but then again I never died so what the hell I thought. Apparently the hell was me having to worst possible headache, of all time. Spending nearly three-hundred bits on whiskey and eventually ending up out-drinking all of the griffons at the bar, by about twenty shots. Though on the plus side I did feel a little more sane today, or maybe that was the painkillers but I don't care, whatever makes me feel a little less like a sack of crap and more like my old self is fine by me. Anyways I received word that some ponies were coming to pick me up and bring me back to Canterlot, so I ran away again cause I know what they mean by that, they mean a mental facility and that stupid straight jacket. I was so deep in thought that I flew right into a tree, making me lose my bearings and drop like a rock, I struggled against gravity and quickly assumed control of my flight. I shook my head to get rid of the bit of my mane that had fallen into my eyes, I was getting tired so I started looking for a place to rest. I eventually landed next to a small lake, the surface of the water was free from ripples and was perfectly clear. I looked into it and gasped as I saw my reflection, I looked like one of those ponies that were in depression, his mane was long and tangled, his coat was darker than normal, but the eyes were what betrayed the depressed look. My eyes were now a deep blue, but were darting around sizing everything up, they showed no emotions, no signs of happiness or sadness, they were just there, nothing more nothing less. "Well, I am officially crazy." I muttered to myself, not to my surprise I got a reply, from me. "Well looks like the rocket scientist has come up with another brilliant observation. What the heck is a rocket? A large booster thing that goes into space." I blinked a couple of times. "What is the point of going to space? Well for one to get rocks, other than that its freaking cool. We should totally bui-" I stopped as a branch broke off to my side, I looked over to see a familiar looking earth pony with an orange coat and a blond mane, her emerald eyes showed that she had not wanted to be seen so soon. "Who are you, what do you want? Well you used know her you moron, but now that we are bickering like little foals we are forgetting so much stuff I am surprised we even know our damn name."

"Sargast?" The orange mare said.

"Oh right, we know our name because nopony can stop saying it." I said to myself. Then the bushes erupted in a flurry of colors, and six other mares stood in front of me, two being alicorns, two were pegasi, there was also a unicorn and another earth pony.

"Sargast we got you now!" The cyan pegasus hollered.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that." I said with a smirk, my hooves started crackling with the dark lightning that was my necromagic, it was fun being a necromancer.

"Not this time Sargast." The dark blue alicorn said, then her horn lit up, holding me in place, the lavender alicorn followed suit and stopped my magic using a single spell. The rest of them cheered. Then a large vine also came out of the bush, and darted straight for the orange earth pony.

"WATCH THE BUCK OUT!" I yelled at them, they didn't get my meaning and thought it was just another scheme to let me escape.

"Not falling for it this time, Sargast." The farmer said, rolling her eyes. The vine wrapped around her back left leg, then started dragging her into the bushes. "AHHHH! SOMEPONY HELP ME!" She screamed. The other mares whipped around to see their friend get dragged into the forest, this freed me from their magic.

"Damn it! I told you to watch out!" I yelled, getting up after falling to the ground. "And you could have let me down a little easier." I started walking towards the brush. "Lets put our game of tag aside and kill that stupid plant." With that I jumped into the brush and gave chase to the vine.

It had taken only half a day to get the elements rounded up and make it to the Griffon Kingdom, (mostly due to Luna's magic) but even though they had been faster than anypony before them Sargast was already gone. Though they did however get a pretty good story about Sargast out-drinking all of the Griffons in the bar. They rushed off immediately and tried to figure out where Sargast had went. They were walking down the main road when they heard a familiar voice. "Hey dudes! Whazzup?" The group of mares looked over to see Gilda walking towards them. Pinkie frowned, which was really unusual.

"Hey Gilda." Rainbow said, failing at trying to sound like she didn't strongly dislike the griffon. (They never say hate, why should I?)

"Gilda, have you seen a green and brown pegasus anywhere?" Luna asked.

"Oh yeah! He was drinking it up last night! Last I saw him he was rushing off in that direction." She pointed a claw towards the woods nearby.

"Thank you." Luna said promptly before leaving quickly. The group followed the princess for hours as they made their way through the forest and the bushes.

"Can we take a break? My ho-"

"No Rarity, no breaks. Ever." Luna said to her.

"Why are you so uptight about finding Sargast?" Rainbow asked.

"He is a huge threat to society in his current state." Luna responded quickly.

"Really, i'm pretty sure the only threat he is to society is he may possibly kill a fly that is bugging him." Rainbow said back. Luna looked ready to start lecturing Rainbowdash on how society works when Applejack cut in.

"Here Rainbow, let me explain it in terms you will understand. We have a stallion who lost his mind, is drunk off of his damn ass, and just so happens to be a necromancer, and he is on the loose. Normally ponies would want to stop him before he does something like accidentally slaughter a town." Rainbow simply nodded. "Ya'll really don't care do ya?" Rainbow then nodded.

"Wait a minute, I think I heard something." Twilight whispered, making the group quiet down immediately.

"-other than its freaking cool."

"I'll go and try and talk reason into him." Applejack said, then quietly walked through the bushes before any of them could stop her. The group decided to keep listening in case something went wrong.

"We should totally bui-" There was a audible snap causing the mares to hold their breath, and Sargast to stop talking.

"Who are you? What do you want? Well you used to know her you moron, but now that we are bickering like foals we have been forgetting so much stuff I am surprised we even know our damn name." Sargast said.

"Sargast?" Applejack's voice could be heard clearly.

"Oh right, we know our name because nopony can stop saying it." Sargast said, sounding a little angry.

"Lets get him now, while he is distracted!" Rainbow said, and with that they all jumped through the bush.

I was chasing after the vine as fast as I could, the elements lagging behind. Only Luna was keeping up with me, my supercharged flight just surpassed all others. Although it came at a price, as long as I was using it my magic drained, very quickly, so I can't keep this speed for long. I had almost caught up with the vine when I heard some muffled screams behind me, I spun around to see the elements getting drug off of the main path. Well except for Rainbowdash who was fighting their assailants. "You keep chasing Applejack, I got the rest." I said to Luna who then nodded. I spun around. "Hey assholes! Come and get me!" I yelled at them. Two of them broke off from the group to confront me, they were a unicorn and a pegasus. They quickly attacked me in complete sync, which was a bad idea on their part for I just used a spin-kick to kick them both in the jaw. With a grunt the pegasus got up off the dirt and advanced on me slowly, more cautiously this time, so it was my turn to attack. I flew at him and got in close so he couldn't kick, and then I let off a volley of punches into his stomach. He fell to the ground and didn't get up. When I looked up the elements were gone.

"Sargast!" I heard Luna yell.

"You get Applejack?" I asked, she bowed her head.

"The vine was too fast for me."

"Well we both utterly failed this time, so lets track those buckers down, shall we?" I said, confidence growing.

"How are we gonna do that?" Luna asked.

"With a crap ton of hard work. Well, that and a can of whoop-ass." I said, punching my hoof into thin air. I was about to continue when I felt something strike me in the side of my head, I blacked out instantly.

"Sargast?" I opened my eyes and groaned a little.

"What happened?"

"Well mate, you just got your ass handed to you, on a silver platter. No worries though! You're still alive, are you not?" A unfamiliar voice said.

"Hey, how could he have foreseen that the pegasus would get up and throw a rock at him, striking him directly in the temple?" Another voice said, I looked around, there were two other pegasi on either side of me. One was red, with a flaming mane and blood red eyes. The other was blue with a matching blue mane, said mane was tangled beyond redemption. This one also had blue eyes. Luna was sitting down a few feet in front of me, deep in thought.

"Who are you two?" I asked the stallions.

"You." They both responded at the same time.

The End

Author's Note

Well this is the end of the shortest leg of Sargast's journey of life. Hope it wasn't too bad. Part three will be out soon, and yes, it will be MUCH better. Until then!
