Derpy woke up a few hours later. She was lying on the ground near a cave. She looked around, The mane 6 were with her. The red mist must've reached them too. She also realized that the place they were didn't look very much like Equestria, not even the Everfree forest. She also saw that the cave had a door. Maybe ponies lived here, maybe they could help her get back to her home. She knocked on the door. This noise woke up Fluttershy.
She looked very confused. Then she saw her friends and Derpy and thought they must be in the Everfree forest.
The door opened. Derpy was faced with a two legged creature wearing a cloak with the same pattern as Celestia's vase. She couldn't see its face, so she flew up and forced her eyes to focus in front of her. The creature had short grey hair and was holding a three bladed scythe. He didn't look amused, in fact, he looked pretty mad. "U-um...hello?" Derpy said, almost too scared to say anything.
"What. Do. You. Want?" The creature asked in an extremely angry tone.
This angered Fluttershy. She flew up close to his face. "What was that mister?" She asked in the tone she used when she was mad with Angel.
"I said- Wait, you can talk?" He said, surprised. "Kakuzu, come out here, you owe me 50 bucks!"
That woke the other ponies. Derpy hovered over to them and started to explain what had happened.
Another creature walked out. It looked similar to the other one, they had the same outfit. But this one was a little out of shape and looked much older. he also had a mask over his mouth. "what do you...how did you predict this?" He asked, staring at the ponies.
"Tobi." The grey haired one said simply.
"It's always Tobi, huh?" The masked one asked.
The other nodded. "Gimme the money."
"No. I'd die before giving a cent to you, let alone 50 of my precious babies."
"U-um, excuse me, but, who are you? that is, if you don't mind." Fluttershy asked.
"I'm Hidan, yes, The Hidan. clap if you must." The grey haired one said.
"I'm Kakuzu, and he's an idiot." The other one said, rolling his eyes. "There are eight more of us inside, I'm sure at least one of them would like you."
"Are you inviting us in?" Twilight asked.
"Why not, I mean, it's not everyday colorful talking horses appear in front of your door." Hidan said casually.
"Thank you." Fluttershy told them.
Pinkie jumped up and hugged both of them before hopping into the cave.
Twilight nodded to them.
The rest of them walked in normally.
Hidan cut in front of them, tripping Fluttershy in the process, and lead them to the living room.
Kakuzu just sighed and followed, helping the yellow pony up with tentacles that came from his arm.
A blue haired female was blocking the entrance to the room. She had a flower in her hair and a piercing under her lip.
"Hey, what gives, Konan?" Hidan asked.
"Remember your fight with Deidara before you answered the door?" She asked.
"Just let me through before i cut your f-" Fluttershy interrupted him and flew up to Konan.
"Oh, please let us through. Even if he can't pass, you know we wouldn't do anything."
Konan smiled fondly at her. "sure, you can pass, just don't let Hidan through." With that, Konan stepped aside and let Kakuzu and the ponies through.
There were seven other people in the room. One ran up to Pinkie and hugged her. He had an orange mask covering his whole face. "It's so cute! I wanna hug it forever!" He screamed, with a high pitched, childish voice. "Deidara Senpai, can we keep them?"
A blonde haired man walked up to them. He had a ponytail covering half of his face. "Tobi, get them out. Now."
"B-but, Deidara Senpai, They're so cute."
"I DON'T CA-" Deidara started yelling at Tobi, then he saw Fluttershy. He slowly walked up to her, scared of frightening her. "Hey, you actually are kinda cute." He said. Then he facepalmed at how stupid he sounded. "I'm Deidara, What's your name?"
"I-I'm Fluttershy." She said quietly.
"I'm Pinkie Pie, and i think we should throw a party!" Pinkie introduced herself.
"I'm Rainbow dash, The Rainbow dash." Dash said, attempting to sound like Hidan, and failing.
"I'm Rarity."
"My name's Applejack."
"I'm Twilight Sparkle."
"What are you guys DOING?!" They heard someone shout. Deidara picked Fluttershy up and turned around. "Hey Leader, just talking to multicolored horses."
The man he spoke to looked completely dark grey, except for his outfit, and his eyes. They were purple with rings around the pupil. They also had no white part. "I see. Useless morons, Why couldn't i have hired smart people?"
"Hey, that's not very nice." Fluttershy said.
"Holy S***, He told the truth." The Leader said.
"Hidan walked in, holding Derpy. "Don't swear in my f***ing presence." He said.
"What's wrong with yours?" Deidara asked.
"What do you mean?" Hidan replied.
"Its eyes..." Deidara said.
Derpy growled softly at the mention of her eyes. She hated when that was the first thing noticed about her.
"Get to work if you guys are gonna be useless." The Leader said.
"Leader Sama, can the ponies join?" Tobi asked.
"no."
"But they'll be a lot more useful than us." Hidan pointed out.
"Fine."
Derpy was casually flying around, as she usually did. She was eating her morning blueberry muffin while thinking of what to do. She remembered that Discord lived at the castle now, so she decided to visit him. As she was flying there, she crashed a few times, but when did crashing ever stop her? When she got there, guards were the only ones outside. She went past them without a thought. She was roaming around the royal castle for a while before she found him. He was in the royal library for some reason. "Hey Discord." She greeted him.
"Why, hello Derpy." Discord greeted her back. "Never thought I'd see you here."
"The guards let me through, so i assumed it was fine."
"You've got guts, Celestia said she didn't really like you too much."
"Really?" Derpy asked.
Discord simply nodded, an evil smirk on his face. "We should get her back for saying that, maybe by breaking one of her things?"
Sure, but what, she has so many things." Derpy asked.
Discord knew exactly what he wanted to break. Celestia had this strange black vase with red clouds. He didn't think she deserved something so...interesting. "Follow me." he told Derpy, as he started walking towards the many hallways.
Derpy followed, thinking about why Celestia wouldn't like her. Was it something she broke? She also wondered, she breaks things on accident all the time, so would she be able to break something on purpose? Probably. But what would Celestia do to her if she found out? Maybe she wouldn't be too mad, since Derpy broke things all the time. Or maybe she would get so mad that she'd do something horrible. maybe even something as horrible as taking Dinky away, or banning her from eating muffins! At this thought, Derpy started to shake, she didn't want to get Celestia mad.
"We're here." Discord said, stopping in the middle of a hallway.
Derpy looked around, what could a pony break in a hallway? Then she saw. A shiny vase sitting on top of a very fancy looking shelf. Derpy knew if she broke this, there would be no escaping punishment. It was so nice and fancy looking that Celestia would surely punish her severely. She picked up the vase, still unsure of which decision to make. She looked inside, pitch blackness, almost blacker than when somepony closed their eyes. She gently set the vase down.
"What are you doing?" Discord asked.
"I can't break it, Celestia would punish me horribly." Derpy explained. She started flying away. She accidentally bumped the shelf, without realizing until she heard a crash. She looked back at the shattered vase and saw a strange red mist coming out of it. She was more scared than confused now. The mist surrounded her, she could only see red wherever she looked. At some point she heard hoofsteps in the hallway. That was the last thing she heard before her world went black.
