Bravery
On the run
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Damn it I set off the alarms now I"m gonna have to deal with all the guards surrounding the building. Why cant I just do one simple job for the Boss without screwing up the entire heist?" He thought to himself.
"Hey my name is-"
The doors slammed leading into the magical artifacts wing of the Museum, and in came a small group of Royal Guards with their horns ready to blast magic at anypony in sight.
"Crap! Alright introductions latter." As he frantically looked around for a place to hide he knew that there wasn't much time before he was spotted, he had to think fast to get out of this one. "Damn damn damn, where to go where to go?"
"Search the area the alarm came from in here and he couldn't have gone far." Said the one in front who must have been the Leader because he had the best fitted armor and was the only one with a sword on his belt.
"YES SIR!" Said the other two in unison. These two were clearly the grunts, their armor was banged up and their magic looked small and frail in comparison to the Captain who's magic covered his entire horn.
"Aw man if I don't think fast I'll totally be screwed." Just then he found his salvation at the top of one of the support columns scattered all over the room, making sure that he was careful with the precious artifact sitting in his saddle bag.
"SIR! We couldn't find anypony around the area. If the alarm was set off in this room, then must have been a malfunction." Said the first soldier nervously like his life was on the line.
"Fine lets search somewhere else. He couldn't have gotten very far." Ordered the Captain storming off with the other two stumbling behind him.
Just when he thought he was home free his saddle bag slipped off and began to fall. "Oh no gotta stop it before it falls." he thought while wrapping his hind legs around the column and letting go with his front legs to lean back and catch it with his mouth before it fell.
"What was that!" The Captain spun around in a flash and looked around.
"Whats wrong Captain?" asked the second soldier.
"I thought I heard something.... It must have been the wind or something carry on. Said the Captain turning around hesitatingly and continued his walk through the doors and shut them.
"Finally I thought those little fillies would never leave, now I can finally leave this stupid graveyard of history and give the last piece of ritual to him so he can get rid of these memories that haunt me." He said with relief thinking that he mat have lost his voice due to all the silence.
He then pulled out a remote detonator from his pocket and pushed the big red button at the top. Suddenly all the electricity. shut off and the entire building shook as the generator exploded in a violent ball of fire.
"That should take care of any annoying security lasers or alarms and it should be smooth sailing from here on out." With that he pulled out another gadget and turned it on and it began to spit out hot sparks. He then thrusted it into the wall and began to cut open a door slowly.

"So as I was saying my name is Stardust and for the past two weeks I've been stealing artifacts from different museums all over Equestria for some old geezer promising that if I do this then all my visions of my past will be gone. So that's why I stole from that museum, and so what if it was a bit greedy of me if you had the problems you would do the same. Now go down and press that arrow pointing to the right and read the next chapter I'm done talking see yah latter."
"Nah I'm just kidding we still have to continue the story some more, cant leave you guys on cliff hanger this big. So lets get back to the story alright.
It was around 12:00 PM and the fog was thick in the Everfree Forrest, twigs and leaves snapped under Stardust's hoofs as he casually strolled through one of the most dangerous places in all of Equestria, but he didn't mind. After all Stardust was born and raised in this Forrest, it was his home and he didn't fear it at all. After another hour or so of walking he finally reached the hut where the old man lived.
"Yo old geezer I got the last thing you needed, now preform your ritual and remove these horrible memories that aren't even mine!" Yelled Stardust walking up the stairs that lead to the old mans study/lab.
"Oh goody that's my boy always doing me proud without arguing." Relied the old man from inside the room closed by an odd door. It was a double door with one side showing pictures of a happy day with other ponies playing around enjoying the day, the other was a little odd. It showed the same place but things were different, ponies running madly while pink cotton candy clouds rained what looked like chocolate milk and rabbits taller than ponies with apples so big that the trees leaned over because of the weight.
"Don't talk to me like your my dad, I know my parents are dead and that I have no family left!" Screamed Stardust with a painful look on his face and knots in his stomach.
"My dear boy you of all ponies should know the phrase never say never, and besides I always thought of myself as your adopted farther." He said with a heartbroken look on his face as if he actually cares about Stardust. The old man himself was about as odd as his door. He had a deer antler on his head, a goat leg, a bat wing on his back, and a snakes tail.
"Just do the ritual and I'll be done here, and I'm starting to have my doubts about your talents so something good better come outta this. Or are you just wasting my time with your silly games?" Asked Stardust hoping to get either results or answers out of the old man.
"Oh your no fun, alright if you insist on rushing through a pleasant conversation then hand me the last artifact. I'll get it prepared, you just go and get the other artifacts off the shelves and place in the smaller circles that I will draw. Ordered the old man drawing a circle with a strange liquid.
Stardust did as he was told and gathered the artifacts and placed them in the smaller circles around the bigger one. "There now what?" He said agitated at the time he's having to waste here.
"Now I will place the final piece in the middle and you stand in front of me then I can begin the ritual." He replied with a sly smile going from one side of his face to the other.
"Why do you need to be in the circle to, this spell is for me only." Quizzed Stardust unsure of whats happening around him or what the old mans planning.
"Duh the spell works better at a closer range, and what could be more closer than inside the circle. Honestly what do they teach this generation in school? Oh well, here we go!"
The old man began to start chanting while the circle began to glow purple and the only thing that Stardust could make out was one phrase. "Bodies separate, minds are joined, split the soul of this boy, and allow the other to be my toy." Then a big white flash blinded Stardust.
The next thing he saw was himself. Was it a mirror? Then he got up, no not him he was still on the ground. "Who are you?" He asked himself or was it hi? This was all to confusing for him to understand.
Then he saw a familiar figure step into sight. "My dear boy, he is your other half the one who responsible for those memories that were not yours." The old man said still holding that sly grin on his face.
"How is this possible? How was he inside of me?" Stardust said struggling to keep consciousness with his vision blurred, and his head ringing.
"Do you know the story of your parents? I assure you its a good one." He said leaning down so close to Stardust face that he could smell his breath.
"Yeah they were murdered by some crazy pony. But what does that have to do with him?" He asked covering his nose from the attack coming from the old mans breath.
"Oh it has everything to do with him my boy, you see they were very talented magic users. Their power were known all across the land, eventually they settled down and had to babies. Their names were Commit rain and Stardust. But over the years Commit became jealous of his brother and resented hi parents for loving him more. Eventually the oldest found a book full of forgotten dark and evil spells and he practiced them in secret hoping to impress his parents. When he had practiced these spells to the point of mastery over them and he showed his parents his talent. But when they saw what he had become they said he was a monster. Those words threw the eldest son into a fit of rage and he lashed out. His parents fought him until they realized that they could not stop him, they made the ultimate sacrifice. With their dying breath they sealed the oldest into their youngest son and erased his memories of what happened with his parents and the oldest son." He finished his story and stood up looking down on Stardust like an ant.
"So hes my older brother?" Stardust asked still shocked at hearing the story.
"That's right my dear boy and now he is free to do my bidding now I've got chaos to rain all over Equestria, bye bye!" He said and then Slammed his leg into Stardust's face knocking him unconscious and then they walked away leaving him behind in the crater that was once a hut.
There Stardust lied for days, until he was found by a stranger in a brown cloak. "What do we have here? Somepony unconscious oh the poor dear." The stranger then picked up Stardust and took him somewhere warm where he was taken care of until he could get back on his feet.
Author's Note
Alright first yes he was sorta like a agent but I'm going to say this now. It was all powered by magic. Second I use Stardust as a way to talk to the reader, he acts like me that's how I made him. And finally third I'm not saying what type of pony Stardust is because that would be a spoiler to the book.
Hope you liked chapter two, and three will come soon. WUB YAH!
