A Tyrant Friend

Talk

Terry awakened from what seemed an eternity of sleeping and saw all of his friends standing in front of him. The were the Raptors Dart, Z, F and M, The T-Rex Cutter, Ty the Tylosaurus in his tank, two crested dinosaurs, the Carnotaurus Noah who was heavily bandaged, the Mane Six, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and the two princesses all sitting down and looking at him with worried faces.

"Good to see you're awake." Celestia said to the Rex.

"What..happened?" Terry asked as he got up in a groggy voice. When he rose up, he heard something jingling around his neck. He looked down and saw a wierd rope-like object coming off of something around his big neck.

"Alright, what is this thing on my neck?" Terry asked.

"It's a chain which Luna and I enhanced so not even you can break it." Celestia replied. Terry gave the chain a few tugs and saw Celestia was right.

"Why is this on me?" Terry asked his friends.

"It's so none of us get hurt from you." Fluttershy replied.

"Fluttershy, I'd never hurt any of you." Terry said.

"Really? Then tell that to my sis' and her friends along with Noah." Applejack said in an angry voice. He then saw the Crusaders standing with their heads lowered and Noah looking away from him.

"Listen, I'm sorry for the pain I caused the four of you. Can you give me another chance?" Terry said them.

"No." The Crusaders replied in unison.

"But...I-" Terry started to say.

"But nothin' Terry. You really hurt us when you roared in our faces." Applebloom said.

"I'm apologizing for that and the other things I did to you back in the field. Please accept it?" Terry begged. The Crusaders gave Terry a mean look but it changed to a sad one.. They then released a big sigh.

"Alright. We forgive ya'." Applebloom said.

"Thank you. And Noah, I'm sorry for fighting you, can you forgive a Rex?" Terry asked the Carnotaur.

"Yeah. Here's my way of accepting it." Noah said. And then using his tail, he smacked Terry in the face. Everybody gasped and Cutter and Dart went in front of him.

"Noah, what the hell!" Dart said angrily it.

"Dart...it's fine. I deserved that." Terry said. Dart's eyes widened when he said that. He then along with Cutter backed away from Noah and stood in front of Terry.

"Now then, care to tell us why you were running away from Canterlot?" Celestia asked.

"I..I can't. It's my own business." Terry replied.

"Terry...just tell the princess. It'll be easier and the chain can come off when you tell her." Dart said.

"I'm sorry Dart. But I can't." Terry said. And then Celestia's horn lit up and a beam struck Terry's head. After a minute, the beam went away from Terry's dome and the light on Celestia's horn vanished.

"I see. But it wasn't your fault she died Terry." Celestia said. Terry then began to growl.

"It was my fault Celestia. I wasn't able to reach her. If I was only closer-" Terry was saying.

"No. It was Scarfang's fault she died. Not yours." Celestia said back. Then Terry lunged at Celestia and snapped his jaws.

"CELESTIA! IT WAS MY FAULT. I WASN'T THERE TO STOP SCARFANG AND HE KILLED HER! YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT LOSING A LOVED ONE IS LIKE!" Terry roared at her. Everypony gasped when the heard him roar that. Celestia's horn glowed but instead of a beam, the chain had static electricity come out of it and it shocked Terry causing him to roar in pain.

"CELESTIA! STOP THIS!" Dart roared.

"I'm sorry Dart. But I have no choice." Celestia said back. Then Dart tackled Celestia causing the electricity to stop shocking Terry.

"Terry? Are you okay?" Dart asked as he walked towards him.

"I..I'm fine. Just..fine." Terry replied.

"Celestia, what in god's name gave you the right to shock him?!" Dart yelled as he walked over to the Alicorn.

"Self defense." Celestia replied.

"What do you mean self defense?! He didn't attack you! Sure he snapped his jaws and roared at you, but that doesn't give you the right to shock my friend with static electricity!" Dart roared at Celestia. He then walked over to the Rex and stood in front of him.

"You want to hurt my friend, you have to go through me." Dart said as he got into a defensive stance. The Cutter stood along with Dart and then Noah, Z, F and M, and then everyone in the room including Luna stood in front of Terry.

"Y..you're right. I'm sorry." Celestia said. Then using her magic, she released the chain from Terry's neck and healed his wounds. Terry then walked out of the building and went to check on his eggs.

"Hang on." Dart said as he caught up to the Rex. Then the two walked away and talked about their eggs.

"Sister, why did you strike Terry when thou didn't strike you?" Luna asked.

"Because, I know what it's like to lose a loved one." She replied. Then the rest of the day, Celestia told her story of the loved one she lost.
