"Alright so let me get this straight..." Magic Fez was speaking to his creation as they walked towards the house of the one person who might just help them. "how could you not know your own name?" The shadow creature gave Magic Fez a shrug and a strange look as if he'd just said something in another language. "well that's your fault not mine! you could've programmed me or whatever to know my name!" He shot back at Magic Fez narrowing his eyes at him. "how could I come up with a name for a project that I thought wasn't even going to work?" The creature was at a loss for words. "sooooo...you didn't even think of a name for me?" Magic Fez didn't exactly want to answer that question, but if he didn't the shadow pony would nag on and on...but if he did the thing might just beat him or something. (being that he's already confused as is not to mention the insainity) "well uhm...I kinda di-" Magic Fez was interupted by the creature. "hey is that the place?" He pointed a hoof to a large tree with windows and turned on lights inside. "oh! ahem...uh yes, very perceptive my shadowy friend." Magic Fez went up and knocked on the door. "Twilight? you home?" The shadow pony sweapped in front of him and yelled. "HEY PERSON ANSWER THE FREAKING DOOR!" Magic Fez was at a loss for words at this point. "what the hell is wrong with you?!" He whispered to the creature, but before he could answer the door opened. "what?! what do you wa-" The purple unicorn was stunned at the sight of the shadowy creature. "boo." said the creature. "DEAR CELESTIA WHAT IS THAT THING?!" She shreiked. "Good question Twilight, If I'm not mistaken this Is a shadow pony my latest expariment." The three stood in silence for a few seconds before the unicorn spoke. "so...what's it's name?" Magic Fez was stuck with the question again. "well...besidess from not even being sure that the project would work I kinda...." he was interrupted by the shadow pony again. "come on spit it out!" Magic Fez put his head down and spoke. "I-I didn't really think of one..." END OF CHAPTER TWO //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: What is it? //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: What is it? "So ...you're telling me you never even thought of a name for me?" Said the silky black pony that now stood in the same Library as Magic Fez and Twilight. "Yes..." Uttered Magic Fez gilty for not doing so. "WELL THEN! I guess i'm gonna need one!" The creature spoke in a happy tone, but this confused Magic Fez. "WHAT?! I THOUGHT YOU'D FREAKING STRANGLE ME IF I TOLD YOU!" Magic Fez shouted. "Ok now you're just judging my insainity! Look Magic Fez I may be crazy but I'm not gonna go and strangle my creator!" He blurted back. "Well I just assumed tha-" he paused mid sentence. "d-did you just say my name?" He made a very questionable face. "Yes of course! your name is Magic Fez, you were cursed so you don't have a horn like you used to and you use that Fez as a substatute AND! you spent five months looking for the lost component to finish my biological structure!" Twilight looked up from the machine she was studying the creature with and Magic Fez was just plain dumbfounded. "How...How the...HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ALL THAT?!" He yelled scared for the answer "YOU'VE ONLY LIVED FOR TWO HOURS MUCH LESS EVEN READ A BOOK ABOUT SCIANCE, OR EVEN KNEW WHO I WAS!!" Magic Fez was about to say one more thing but the creature interupted him. "Well you see, thanks to a loss of my own mind I can read others! that's how I know about both of you already! all it takes is one look and I get FILLED with all kinds of information, does that answer your questions?" The pony acted innocent and gave Magic Fez a grin. "uhh...wha-...fuck it my brain hurts to much to even THINK." Magic Fez dropped to the ground holding his head. Twilight spoke up finally after this whole ordeal. "well there's some good news and some...strange...news...good news is that his vitals are perfectly normal and the...shadow blood...is pumping normaly." Magic Fez got up and blurted out. "what's the strange news?!" Twilight spoke in a rather un-nerving voice. "well...his brain...it's working...all of it...he's not using magic to read or thoughts and memories...he just..." she sighed. "he just can..." Twilight wasn't done speaking though. "not only did you create the first artifical pony...you created one that's a genious beyond belief!" Magic Fez had no words none at all, but the shadow pony did. "Hello!" He waved his hoof in front of Magic Fez snapping him back into reality. "I do belive you owe me a name?" He snapped. "ooo! what about a name with Marcher in it? I always wanted to be a Marcher!" Magic Fez thought he thought and thought until his head hurt. (which at this point ment his head was thumping) But then out of the blue...an Idea struck his mind. "Black Marcher...h-how about that?" The creature thought. "that...is...fucking...AWESOME!!" Yelled Black Marcher, the shadow stallion. END OF CHAPTER THREE //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5: The Loopy One //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5: The Loopy One "BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHH" Marcher moaned his face still scrubbing against the carpet for some reason or another. "Jeez you look like you're about to burst like a balloon and do something dumb" said Spike sitting on the couch and just staring at Marcher, still feeding the wooden floor his face. "I've got an idea!" Marcher's head shot up, like a bullet out of a gun. He ran in the kitchen, looking in cabinets and pulling things out one by one. "TEA! TEATEATEATEATEA! I NEED TEA WHERE'S THE FREAKING TEA?!" He yelled. "Maybe you should just calm down..." said Spike walking over to him. "DANG IT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?! I NEED TEA TO CALM DOWN! NOW HELP. ME. LOOK!" Marcher seemed to be in a frantic tone. "ugh...you're looking in the wrong place" Spike groaned. He went over and opened up a capinet. Smaller than the others in size but still identical to the apperance. He flung open the cabinet and inside it sat about 9 different types of tea. "SPIKE WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU HELP ME-" Marcher had just looked over to Spike, his arm folded and a drawer full of tea opened right next to him. "well then isn't that just conviniant that the drawer slid open?" Marcher smiled his maniac smile yet again. MEANWHILE "Ugh...I hate going over to Rarity's..." Groaned Magic Fez. "Magic come on..." said Twilight back. "it's not like her cat is going to scratch your eyes out or anything." she implied jokingly. "it's not the damned cat i'm worried about..." replied Magic Fez. "it's Rarity...she's been hitting on me since day one...it's just getting annoying...not to mention it's hard to be around her because when she gets so much as a SPECK of dirt in her mane she whines..." he lowered his head twitching his eye a bit. "and you know how much tolorance I have for things whining EXPECIALY when it's that loud..." Twilight stared over to him. "oh come on it's not THAT bad..." Twilight replied. Magic Fez starred back, one of his eyes narrowed, the other fully open giving her an "are you kiding me" kind of look. Twilight sighed. "okay...it is pretty bad..." They troughted on until Twilight had brought up a question. "what will she think of Marcher?" Magic Fez stoppped in his tracks and replied. "Let's...not worry about that just yet..." The rest of the walk was filled with an akward silence. BACK AT THE TREE HOUSE Spike was cleaning up the mess of things that Marcher had thrown onto the floor in the kitchen. Niether of them spoke until a knock at the door broke the silence. "I got it!!!" yelled Marcher. He ran to the door and hit his face on it, he then opened the door not caring if the pony was completly appaled by his apperance. "Oh! Hi there! how are you tonight Mr.Shadow Thingy?" The words came from a Pink pony smiling in the face of Marcher not seeming to care about his apperance. "I'm very fine ms....ms...ms.uhmmm" Marcher paused for a second as his pupils shot to opposite sides of his eyes, then returned to the pink mare standing before him. "I'm not sure we've met yet have we? I'm Black Marcher shadow pony it's a pleasure to met you ms...." he stopped again putting out his hoof, the pink pony shuck his hoof with two of hers. "Ms.Pie! Pinkie Pie to be exact!" She gave him a bright smile then a frown. "oh golly gee! now I have something else to do!" She started to dash away. "Bye Mr.Marcher!" she yelled over her shoulder. "WELL...I thought I was the Loopy One!" said Marcher aloud, his tea now cold. END OF CHAPTER 5 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: The Expariment //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: The Expariment Magic Fez stumbled around his lab. "were on earth are those shadow tubes?!" he was abviously not happy on the matter being that he'd been searching for the tubes for months. (five months to be exact) "URGH!!! I GIVE UP!!" he want over to his desk and threw the papers all over the place, exept for one. As he saw this paper just sit on the desk he walked over and sat down, they were the main blueprints for his expariment. "the one ingrediant that have but CAN'T FREAKING FI-" he stopped mid sentence as three test tubes filled with a black muck inside rolled down in front of the blueprints. "what..what?what?!WHAT?!WELL A WHOLE LOAD OF FUCK THAT IS!!" it was a good thing it was day time, otherwise he might have been thrown out of town. He sighed at how the event played out and started to ramble that it was impossible because he'd just checked there yesterday, but at this point he didn't care he'd just wanted to get his work finally finished. He hooked up the tubes to three circular slots in a grey and white machine hooked up to a glass chamber, as he put each tube in a light blipped on. "alright..." he flipped on a few switches. "time to get this done..." He started to push a lever forward and as he did the muck drained from the shadow tubes faster then he thought. "DAMN IT! SCHNELL SCHNELL!!!" He put as much preasure on the lever as he could and the lightning became more blinding than ever. The lever was at the top setting, but when Magic Fez peeked over at the dial it was all the way to the right....on red. "no...No...NO...NO!!!!" He dived to the ground and the chamber exploded a bolt shooting out at Magic Fez striking him in the head. "AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!" Magic Fez then blasted to the wall slamming back-first into it. The room went dark and Magic Fez was un-conncious. When he woke up he saw something in the dark of night. "It's some sort of sh-shadow...hang on a tick...A SHADOW?! WHO ARE YOU!!??" He tried to get up but his body was still in to much shock, but the shadow...the shadow sure wasn't a quiet one... "I DON'T KNOW! I JUST CAME OUT OF A GLASS CELL NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND ME AND YOU EXPECT ME TO KNOW MY NAME?!" It didn't seem mad yet it yelled like a freaking maniac. "BY THE WAY HELLO STRANGER WHAT MIGHT YOUR NAME BE ON THIS FINE DANDY NIGHT?!" at that moment...Magic Fez realized something. "oh...shit..." he blurted out, this thing wasn't yelling like a maniac...IT WAS A MANIAC. END OF CHAPTER ONE //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4: The long night //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4: The long night "Do you think you can stop him being so...so...wacky?" Magic Fez was speaking to Twilight about Black Marcher and his rather strange personallity. "come now Magic you can't change a pony's personallity, it's just not right." Twilight spoke back. Magic Fez peaked into the room were Marcher was. "he is rubbing his face...against the freaking floor..." He made a confused face looking back to Twilight. "look Twilight this is my first expariment gone right...well partly right...I don't want to be known for creating a monster pony-" Magic Fez was interrupted by Marcher. "HEY!! I HEARD THAT YOU DUMB BOOZLE!!" Magic Fez was yet again confused, but he faced Twilight his eyes narrowed. "See?" he said in an "I told you" kind of voice. "Aside from that what if somepony sees him? they'll think he's evil!" They both looked over two Marcher still scrubbing his face with the floor. "well..." Twilight spoke as she tilted her head to the side a bit. "that is...true...but I mean...how would we go about preventing that?" The two magic users thought but were completely stumped. "oh for Celestia's sake..." said Marcher walking over to them. "THINK!!" He he put one hoof on Magic Fez's head and one on Twilight's, then pushed the two heads against each other. "GAH MARCHER WHAT THE-" Magic Fez stopped and felt something in his head. "wait are you thinking what i'm thinking?" Magic Fez spoke. "y-yeah! how does he?" Blurted Twilight. Marcher bonked there heads again. "focus on the problem at hoof!! two brilliant minds put together makes one mind, stronger then any!" Marcher was somehow right. Both of the magic users heads were tingling with ideas but then there was a spark. "FABRIC!!" Magic Fez and Twilight yelled. "Yes!" Said Marcher using his shadow tail as spring and bouncing up and down. "With fabric I can use my powers to make secondary skin!" Magic Fez stared over at Marcher. "a few seconds ago you were using your head as a dirt plow on the carpet and now you're talking like a scientist...I can't...ow...my head hurts to much..." Magic Fez held his head with his hooves. "Magic focus! we need to get that fabric...SPIKE!!" Twilight yelled. There was the sound of things tipping over upstairs and after a few seconds Spike was down the stairs. "Yes Twilight?" He spoke egar to know what he was summoned for. "will you watch Black Marcher while Magic Fez and I are out?" Spike was confused until Twilight directed her hoof towards Marcher. "GAH!!! SHADOW PONY!!!!" Spike dashed up the stairs. "Pfffft...we'll be fiiiiiiiiiiine" Marcher spoke with an innosent voice. Spike walked back dMagic Fez a hoof in the air "have fun you two!" said Twilight on the way out. Now it was just them Spike and Marcher just sitting in the library. "This is going to be a Looooong night" said Spike fallowed by a grown. END OF CHAPTER 4
