The Legend of the Sound Striders
Fry me to the Moon
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRed was shot... R-Red w-was shot?, you start to tear up, not knowing if you had a famliy before your life now. You needed to know, but that moment came and went. As soon as you turn around to face the Stallion who killed your half-brother, and kept you captive, you feel something, not anger, not rage, something more, something more... primal.
"You held me captive, tested on me, and killed the only sibling I actually have. I have lived alone for years, been tormented by other ponies and now you, you are a threat to my life, and my families life. You must be erased"
The Director just stood there, unmoving. until he said, "well I don't need you anymore, I already have your DNA, but... you are a danger to the public and so is your foal, so...SIGH we have to get rid of you" At that moment he pulled out a radio and ordered a squad of ponies to move in, where you don't know, but you have an idea.
"In a couple of minutes the world shall be rid of your kind, and they shall be none the wiser"
He was going to kill the rest of your family, the ponies you hold so close to your heart. No, you shall not stand for this.
Point of View: The Director
A moment passed after you had spoken, everything deathly quiet, until... everything started...humming? The subject started to float slowly into the air emitting a blinding light, the whole building was shaking now.
"What are you doing?" You shout trying to be heard over the rumbling.
Point of View: You
"What are you doing?" The Director asked.
And not a moment later you reply,
Point of View: The Director
The subject heard you, and at this he threw his head up and revealed to you his face.

And he said, "AND NOW YOU SHALL BREATHE YOUR LAST BREATH!"
And at this moment, the light intensified, filling the whole room.
Point of View: Luna
Luna was carrying Vinyl on her back when suddenly, a beam of light shot out from one of the buildings ahead of you, rocketing towards the sky, and when it reached the clouds.
Point of View: Nopony
And when the beam reached the clouds, everything stopped, time just... froze. There were ponies who had fast reactions to the blast, they were diving behind anything solid. But as soon as everything stopped, everything began to move very slowly.
Up in the sky the beam was hitting the cloud, condensing inside of it extremely slowly. Everything began to move faster now, almost getting back to normal speed. The ponies that had ducked behind something, began to poke their heads out and looked towards the sky. The beam still hitting the cloud began to get bigger and bigger before,
pop
The cloud just popped... that was it? Well that was anti-climacti-
CLAP
SCREECH
At that moment, a deafining sound came from the where the cloud was. The sound blasted all the windows in Canterlot and the surrounding areas into non-existant particles. The sound proceded to assault the ears of the ponies around the area, as the ponies were writhing on the ground holding their ears to their heads something began to rise out of the building the beam was coming from, it was a pony, light brown in color.
The pony was rising to where the cloud used to be and as soon as he got there he started to disappear and when that happened a voice from the sky called out, "PONIES OF CANTERLOT, LOOK UPON THIS ONE AND GIVE HIM MERCY, FOR WHERE HE IS GOING THERE SHALL BE NONE!"
When the voice went quiet, so did everything else. The pony was still up in the sky, but he was... somewhere else, he had the look of a ghost and the stare of a thousand miles.
Point of View: The Director
Was he dead? No, this was something else, something worse, much worse. For all he could see was,
He started walking towards the odd looking tree when a voice started talking to him, "Who are you? And why are you on my plane of existance? judging by what you are you must have angered someone extremley powerful... a god perhaps?, who was it that you have angered?"
"It was something called a Sound Strider, he went by the name of Night Music" The Director said shaking a bit.
"Aah, I know who you are speaking of, Night Music, he has been here before, although he was stubborn of talking to me, I have taken upon myself to watch and study him and his kind, but him mostly, since it is... difficult to track his kind"
"And who are you?"
"Now you, you can call me Ann Marie" The voice said as it began to laugh.
"It has been a while since I have played with a mere mortal, oh we are going to have some fun!" The Voice said laughing even harder now.
Sometime in your mind
"So that's what happened?" You ask skeptical that anything like that ever happened.
"Yup! all of that was your doing"
"So, who was that when I blacked out, you know during the cloning?"
"Oh, him? he's you, well almost you. He is just like you in almost every way, except your tendency to hate violence, him on the other hoof loves it."
"So, will he be a problem for my family?"
"Oh no, like I said, you two are exactly the same in many ways, your love for your family has been noticed"
"Where is he?"
"Have you really not noticed him before?"
"He has been in here?"
"Yes, ever since you were created, he has been in the back of your mind, trapped in a cage, but since there was a threat to your family, it's like giving the prisoner a key to their cage, and then controll over a missile."
You sit there with the other you, thinking on how to handle this situation. Okay, so there is a murderer in our head that's a downside, but he still loves our family so that's an upside.
"Can we go back?" You ask pointing towards the door.
"Yes, but all you have to do is wake up"
You bolt up right, looking around. You don't see your brother any where, all you see are dead gaurds ponies and... a whole in the ceiling going all the way towards outside.
"Ooooh, I am in deep sh-" You think out loud as you get cut off as a group of gaurds surround you, they are the ones that work under Celestia.
As soon as you see them, you see Celestia herself.
"Uhm... hey sis" You say trying to read her face, scared to think what she might do.
"Hello brother, even though Luna may hate me for this I have to do it"
"Night Music, you are here by arrested for destroying a government facility, and assaulting the public, and destroying public property"
The guards pick you up with their magic, before you can even teleport away, they cast a magic blocker on you suppressing every kind of magic you could conjure up. And as you get dragged away you slip into the outside world the door to the now destroyed facility closing behind you.
Author's Note
Hey everypony, Night Music here, I hope everyone likes this chapter, probably because it took maybe 3 days to right. Yeah yeah, i know, 3 days to write such a short chapter? Well it wasn't like I had all of this planned out and the fight scenes are really not my thing. Anyways, please tell me what you think, so that I may improve on writing this type of stuff.
