the toy maker and the fashionista

Canterlot Dungeons 5:36 A.M.

Drip. Drip. Drip. Patchwork awoke to the feeling of water on his head. he rose his head up and looked around to see where he was, in a cell in the Canterlot Dungeons. After he realized where he was he sat down and waited, and waited, and waited. Then he heard hoof steps on the cobble floors of the dungeon he knew Somepony was coming, not one in fact but many he counted ten different sets of hoof steps, the ponies he saw surprised him there in front of him were the bearers of the Elements of Harmony each wearing their respective element, Shining Armor, Cadence, Luna, and Celestia. All of them wore an angry scowl but Rarity, her face showed signs of crying and she wore a frown.

Patchwork looked at Celestia and growled. "What do you want!?"

Shining Armor stepped forward. "You will treat the princess with respect scum!"

"I will treat her with respect when she deserves it! And she never will." Those words shocked all of the ponies there except for Rarity who knew why he did not respect her. "I steal to help poor ponies while she" he said pointing his hoof at Celestia. "Does nothing for poor ponies! NOTHING!!!" After he caught his breath he continued. "she does not deserve to be a princess! Luna, Cadence, and Twilight do but not her! In all honesty the non existent child of King Sombra and Nightmare Moon " At this point the elements, except Rarity, wanted to blast him, Luna was shocked and confused as to why she deserved to be a princess more than her sister and wanted to know why he thought the foal of such evil being would make a better ruler than her sister, Cadence was trying to keep from throwing up just because of the pure hatred for Celestia that was radiating from Patchwork, Shining Armor had walked over to the cell and opened it and started beating Patchwork up. All the while Celestia was wondering what she had done to deserve such hatred, she knew she wasn't the perfect ruler but was she worse than Sombra and Nightmare Moon?

A sickening crack was heard and Patchwork fell to the ground only half conscious. What had broken was his muzzle causing him to loose blood rapidly. Cadence grabbed her husband and yelled at him. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL HIM!?"

Armor sneered ."If you ask me he deserves to die! He is greedy, rude, and he insulted the princess!"

"Why? Why are you spiteful towards me? You are the thief here not me." Everypony was shocked that the princess was in tears at this point.

"Because you are oblivious to how the ponies of the lower society are raped, beaten, sold as slaves, and are hungry from birth, that they want to die to gain the mercy they don't find on this earth. That is why Celestia!" Everypony was shocked they had expected him to make another comment about her being a worse ruler than Sombra, not for him to talk about a world they thought could not possibly exist. At this point cadence threw up, she could handle the pure malice towards her aunt and the comments about how bad a ruler she was, but not the fact that the words of malice were coming from a dying pony whose head lay in a pool of his own blood. Another sick crack was heard and the ponies saw that patchworks muzzle was fixed, and that his blood was returning to his body. As Everypony stood their shocked, he spoke again. "You caught me and now you know why I hate you Celestia,  you know why I ruined the gala, you can put me to death but you wont because your like me and don't like to see others die!" He stopped for a second and then spoke again. "Also another reason you wont is because I'm about to escape."

Shining Armor was angered by his words. "The royal guard will not allow you to leave this dungeon. They have been told to consider you dangerous and kill you if you show signs of hostility! How would you escape anyway? The cell is magic proof so no teleporting out, we can catch any of the thieves you lead if they try and break you out, me, Celestia, and Luna have the only keys to this cell. Besides elements of harmony are here, I'm here, and the princesses are here there is no way you could get out!"

At that Patchwork began to laugh and he pointed to his gold bracelet designed to look like a winged snake with rubies for eyes. Then he spoke. "Serpente Alato I call upon your power in my hour of need. AWAK-" Celestia's eyes grew wide when she heard him call out that name and saw the bracelet her immediate reaction was to silence him with magic and so she did. She knew that name, it was the name of a creature known as a familiar, each pony has a familiar but most don't know it. if she saw any familiar she would usually just disregard it as a pony who had found their familiar, but the name of this one was familiar she had imprisoned him in a bracelet and hid it in the old castle because he was as powerful as the greed and anger of the one who summoned him, and seeing how angry patchwork was, he would be very strong.

Celestia walked over and unlocked the cell which shocked Everypony. "If I let you go will you stop stealing?"

Patchwork shook his head. "Only if you promise to help the poor and if you do. I will even tell you where the other thieves are."

Luna looked at him suspiciously "Why would you give up your comrades?"

"Before I took control they where pure evil and would kill for a single bit."

"I promise to help the poor I had no idea that some ponies suffered so, that ponies could be so ruthless. As for your sentence..." She looked at Rarity and smiled. "You are to go to Ponyville and start a new life for yourself, all you have done as a thief will be forgotten, do I make myself clear?"

For the first time in his life since his family died he smiled. His smile was real and not the façade he usually put on. "Crystal clear princess. your not as bad as I thought." with that he was free the first thing that happened was done not by Pinkie, not by Patchwork, but by Rarity who ran over, hugged and kissed him on the lips. Causing him to faint. Celestia laughed at this as did Luna and Cadence. Then their horns began to glow and the memories of all the ponies about patchwork being the king of thieves were erased.
