My Little Carmines

Chapter 1: Awaken in chains

Carmine's eyes fluttered open from inside is helmet. Everything was a blur, he struggled to make out the scenery placed in front of him; maybe Dom was right about the helmet obstructing his vision. Carmine rubbed one of his hands on the side of his helmet, rubbing the side of his head which was screaming that it had a headache.

Carmine tried to remember the recent event that had occurred in his ill mind. The headache screeched at his mind; like it wanted to destroy him completely as a person. The only memory that revealed itself to Carmine's mind was that he was falling down to a giant worm…and screaming.

Carmine suddenly hissed at the banging headache that drummed his head again.

"Ugh…Jesus Christ w- where the h-hell am I?" Carmine struggled to think clearly; whatever happened to him surely did succeed in wanting to engulf him with annoying, banging headaches. Carmine blinked a couple of times before his eyes could process the images displayed before him.

That's when it hit him!

He noticed firstly that he wasn't dead and was alive and healthy; other than his headache giving him grief. He leaped surprisingly against the rocky, black wall behind him. He realized that he wasn't inside the humongous, killing worm but in a small cage, surrounded by others that were blanketed in darkness. Luckily for Carmine, his helmet did help him see better beyond the darkness, despite protesting that they should be given flash lights for their gear. He appeared to be imprisoned behind a cage that constricted him with chains that nailed themselves to the other end of the cage, his cage was surrounded by other copies of his but theirs didn't poses a soul; he was the only proactive creature in the lonely chamber.

"What? What…WHAT!" Carmine screamed loudly, sparking his headache again. His voice echoed around the soulless prison; dying away slowly in the distance. He had never being so confused in his entire life. One question instantly sprung and bounced insanely around his mind like a bouncy ball. Where was he?

His train of thoughts froze when he heard a metallic twisting sound coming from the very far end of the hall, next in line was the sound of something creaking really loud; sudden light blanketing the dark shadows as the light shined brightly in front of Carmine. Next off was the sound of multiple metal pattering sounds that drew closer and closer to where Carmine sat, he flinched up when he heard the metal proceeding inches closer to him.

When they stopped, he looked up…mouth agape under his helmet.

There stood before him were two white unicorns, bedded in gold shining armour that started from the helmet and linked down to their tail; their hooves were fitted with matching golden footwear.

He watched the first one open the gate as the second began speaking towards him.

"By orders of Princess Celestia; you are to see her immediately!"

His voice was fierce and sharp and had a look that he wasn't to be messed with. Carmine only sat there, staring in awe; a quick stamp of the first guards hoof brought him back to reality.

"Move now!" he ordered harshly.

The guards' horns lit and the chains attached to the wall dislocated from their resting place, but the locks remained still around his wrists and feet. Carmine was forced up by the pulling chains, tugging him like he was a dog. He stood in-between the guards, he was twice there size but he wouldn't do anything stupid; the fact that he was speechless left his mouth empty.

Carmine was lead towards the open door where the sunlight beamed through, signing freedom and exit. Once through, there was a stairwell that spiralled up towards the main entrance hall of the castle; Carmine couldn't believe how big the place was.

Before they proceeded up the twisty steps; the first guard shot a menacing glare towards the two footed creature.

"And no funny business…what ever you are."

"What about this one?" Rarity asked; portraying her new dresses to Twilight. It was her job to decide which dresses would be suitable for her store and if others needed work.

"Its…OK but less sparkle" Twilight suggested; giving Rarity an innocent smile.

Rarity flung the dress into her closet; she used her magic to shut it and took her place opposite Twilight. She began.

"Thank you Twilight for your help but I need to figure something out quick if I'm going to put these new dresses up for the upcoming beauty show; all the girls will be squawking for new dresses…and when they see mine they are going to LOVE them."

"Don't worry Rarity; I'm sure you will think of something" Twilight said enthusiastically; sending a comforting smile towards her. She sent back her own 'thanks' smile.

Suddenly, Spike slammed through the door; with a scroll in his paw.

"Spike! Don't you know it's rude to burst unexpectedly into a lady's room?" Rarity questioned rudely, glaring at Spike.

"Oh uh…sorry R-Rarity" Spike stuttered, lost in his heart and crush for Rarity.

"Spike…Spike…SPIKE!" Twilight roared, waking the little dragon from his erotic day dream.

"Oh, uh…yeah?" Spike asked; forgetting about the scroll.

"The scroll…"

"Oh yeah, it's from the Princess; she says it's urgent!"

"What does it say?" Rarity asked; curiosity gaining the best of her.

Spike cleared his throat before addressing the words on the scroll to their ears.

"To my dearest and most faithful student Twilight Sparkle.

A matter has occurred here in Canterlot, a creature was found in the Everfree forest by two of my royal guards. I had sent five of my Pegasus guards to lift this creature to my castle; it appears to be immune to magic as my royal unicorns tried to raise it and having absolutely no success.

This brings great suspicion to me and my sister!

With out a doubt this creature is not known to Equestria and I do not know if this creature is a friend towards Ponies or a foe.

I do hope that this creature is a friend so that we may learn from it peacefully, but I do fear that there may be something dark about it.

I therefor require you at my side for when we meet this creature together. You must bring your friends in case we need the elements of harmony for what ever reason.

I have dispatched two of my Pegasus guards to escort you and your friends immediately. I hope to see you very soon!

Spike finished the letter and rolled it up and placing it on the table that possessed a flabbergasted Twilight and Rarity. Twilight was the first to break the silence.

"Oh my, a mysterious creature from the Everfree forest."

"What ever could it be?" Rarity asked; already knowing that the Pony and dragon wouldn't know the answer.

"Well it did come from the Everfree forest so it must be something completely weird or d-dangerous" Spike suggested; trying to gain a picture of the creature.

"But why? There are plenty of scary monsters in the Everfree forest; so what makes this one so urgent?" Twilight asked, gaining shrugs from the pair.

"C'mon guys, lets see what the others think about this" Spike suggested, pointing towards the exit.

The other two nodded in agreement, rising up from their sitting spots. Spike levitated himself onto Twilights back before they stormed off to visit their friends; hoping they could shed some light on the situation.

Above the small town of Ponyville, not far from it either stood the beautiful city of Canterlot. Canterlot was the main city of Equestria and the hometown to Twilight Sparkle. Canterlot held may special events like the grand galloping gala and the seasons were changed by the unicorns' magic, it also held a castle that rose to the sky; almost wanting feel the very sun itself.

Inside the glamorous castle sat two winged unicorns that were surrounded by royal guards, ready to strike at anything that might sign a threat to the Princesses.

The smaller winged Pony gave a nervous look towards the other…

"I hope you know what you are doing sis" The small winged unicorn asked, her teal eyes giving a very nervous look while her voice was a bit shook.

The small winged unicorn was two times smaller than her sister, her coat was a greyish purple that shined beautifully; especially in the night. Her cutie mark pictured of a moon which was surrounded by a dark blue background that located itself proudly on her chest and above her hind legs. Her mane shined a beautiful light blue colour. She was known as the co ruler of Equestria…Princess Luna.

"Do not fear Luna, this creature cannot harm us; I promise you" Her sister assured her; giving her a comforting smile.

Her sister was a much larger winged unicorn and was known as the ruler of Equestria who raised the sun to bring a new day while her sister did the opposite which was to raise the moon. Her name was Celestia, she appeared to have a mane that had a mixture of colours, and they consisted of cyan, turquoise, azure and purple. Her eyes had a beautiful magenta in them which any male Pony would lose their thoughts to and her coat was a perfect pink and white. Her cutie mark was a stylized sun.

There was a knock at the door…

"Who is it?" Celestia asked. The door opened and the first unicorn guard stepped in; he had a chain hovering above his head.

"Your highnesses, we have delivered the prisoner as you have requested" the guard huffed.

"Thank you guard; you may bring the creature in" Celestia thanked kindly. The guard bowed and nodded to the other guard behind him. The first proceeded forward, tugging along Carmine and the second guard closing the door behind him.

Luna stared mouth agape. Carmine reflected the action inside his helmet while his eyes sprang open.

Carmine stared at the two princesses before him, never had he seen such creatures in his entire life. Crazy thoughts raced through his mind, competing for the right explanation on what was happening to him.

"Do you understand me creature?" Celestia began; she had never seen such an outcast of a creature in her whole life. She had seen many miss made creatures from the Everfree but this one had to have been the most interesting to her. He was immune to physical magic that aimed directly at him; she needed to know what this creature is and what it is capable of.

Carmine was slow to reply…
