Chapter 6: Answers, Sadness, and the hell you mean by "Friends"?!

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Deidara flew as fast he could to the library, but in the distance, outside of Ponyvill, he could see Sasori walking back to the village. Deidara kicked it into overdrive and flew to his fellow Akatsuki member. Within seconds he landed in front of his teammate. He looked at Sasori, for some reason the puppeteer had a large gem in his mouth.

“We need to talk!” Deidara exclaimed.

Sasori cocked an eyebrow, he used his chakra threads to levitate the gem, “About what?”

“Twilight Sparkle is being trained by one of the Kage of this land!”

“WHAT!” Sasori’s eyes were wide, “Why didn’t she tell us?!”

“How the hell am I supposed to know?! I just found out about this, hm!” Deidara sneered.

“How did you find out?”

“I was talking to a Sensei of the academy here, she was the one who told me that Twilight is Princess Celestia’s protégée, hmm.”

“I see, well, we’re going to have to make Twilight tell us about her little lessons that her kage has taught her.”

“Um Sasori, hmm.”

“Yes?”

“What’s with the gem?”

“Oh, I went look for a new subject to turn into a puppet, and well apparently when I found the right subject, it’s species likes to use ponies as their little slaves and use them to dig out gems. So I figured if the gems are worth enough to get slaves, then they should be worth a very high price.”

“Oh.”

Twilight was walking peacefully toward her home, she opened the door to her library but was suddenly shoved in. She fell face forward and rolled a great distance to the near middle of the room. When she got up, she saw Sad Story and Day Dare-Ah glaring at her as they closed and locked the door.

“Why didn’t you tell us that you’re being trained by one of the Kage of this land?” Sad Story growled.

Twilight was now confused, “I didn’t think it was big deal. Why? Is it a bad thing?”

Day Dare-Ah hovered above her and began yell at her in anger, “Of course it’s a bad thing for us! It means that when ever something happens that could concern you or the Kage, you report it to them and when that happens they become involved! Which means we can’t stay here another second if you reported us to the Kage!!!”

“Just tell us, did you or did you not tell your Kage about us?” Story asked glaring at the fellow unicorn.

“Well sorta.” Twilight said nervously as she got up.

“What do mean by that, hmm?” Day asked, his anger growing.

Twilight walked over to her desk and got a brown book with cover that had a golden pony head, similar to the wooden one in the middle of the room, she opened the book to the page that showed Celestia using the Elements of Harmony against Nightmare Moon, she showed it to the colts, “You see, a long time ago, when I lived with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna was still Nightmare Moon and she was banished to the moon, nopony knew of her and she became nothing more than a myth. When I suspected Nightmare Moon’s return, Princess Celestia sent me here to make a some friends and check on the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. I checked on the preparations and met, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and FlutterShy. When Nightmare Moon retuned, I quickly came here looking for a way to find the only thing that could stop her, they were called: The Elements of Harmony. My friends helped find the Elements, we harnessed the power of the Elements and we became the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, Pinkie Pie: The Element of Laughter, FlutterShy: The Element of Kindness, Rarity: The Element of Generosity, AppleJack: The Element of Honesty, Rainbow Dash: The Element of Loyalty, and myself being The Element of Magic. We defeated Nightmare Moon and reverted her back to her original self, Princess Luna. She and Princess Celestia reunited and decided to rule Equestira together again. Princess Celestia then told me that I can stay here in Ponivill, and that my assignment is to study the Magic of friendship, and that I must report to her my findings.”

The two colts stared at her in confusion.

“Last night during the party the two of you taught me something about friendship, so I reported it to the Princesses.” Twilight sighed.

Sad Story and Day Dare-Ah, looked at each other then back at Twilight.

“Speaking of the Princesses, Princess Celestia, sent this to you last night, but I forgot about it because I was sleeping...Sorry Twi.”

They all looked at the speaker, it was Spike, he was holding a scroll in one claw while using the other to rub his eyes.

“SPIIIIIKE!” Twilight groaned as she took the scroll from the dragon, “I swear! You could sleep though the end of Equestria and forget that it was even happening!”

Spike rolled his eyes and walked away. Twilight unrolled the scroll, Sad Story and Day Dare-Ah looked over her shoulder, and read the scroll.

-

Dear Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student,

I’ve seen that you have learned a lot these past few years, and that you have certainly grown up. You learned an important lesson from Day Dare-Ah and Sad Story. My dear student, nothing is impossible, even in the most precarious situations, I’m sure they could even tell you that! To learn that friendship can exist in the hearts of two ponies that most likely have seen Tartarus itself is truly an amazing lesson! I’m sure after a month or so they will adjust to Equestria and find themselves a peaceful life.

I also wish them luck on finding a job!

~Sincerely, your princess of the sun: Princess Celestia


“See there is no need to fear the Princess.” Twilight smiled.

The two colts sighed in relief.

“Oh thank god! I though she was going to kill us, hmm.” Day sighed in relief.

“Well that’s a relief, for a moment there I thought that she was going to have you kill us.” Story sighed putting his hoof up to his chest.

“Why did you think that the princesses would want to kill you?” Twilight asked as she put the book away and the scroll on to her desk.

There was a dead silence for a moment.

“Should I tell her or...”

“I will.” Sad Story took a deep breath, “We went rogue.”

Twilight stared at the two, “What? What do you mean by that? Are you saying that you‘re dangerous?!”

“Well...kind of...” Day smirked.

“You see, back where we’re from, if a shinobi were to go rogue they will automatically be considered a missing-nin or a runnaway shinobi. Some rogue ninja are even automatically sentenced to death if they are caught. Others have a bounty on their heads! Deidara and I are no acceptation.” Story said, putting a hoof on Day‘s shoulder, “There are even rogue shinobi that kill their own fellow rogue ninja, just to get the bounty on their heads!”

“Wait! Are you saying that the two of you are criminals?!” Twilight said nearly screaming.

“Well...Yes and no!” Day scratched the back of his head, “You see, some ninja just don’t like working with others, some are considered reckless, while others are forced to go rogue....I was one of them, hmm.”

“Why would somepony do such a thing?” Twilight was now scared out of her mind, she couldn’t help but question herself. Can she still trust them? Are they evil criminals that deserve to be banished to the Tartarus, like FlutterShy thought? Are they innocent ponies that got a sentence that they didn’t deserve? Or are they ponies that went rogue to find a better home?

“Trust me Twilight there are some out there, I even know someone that was forced to do something so horrible that he was forced go rogue.”

“So you’re to tell her about Itachi, hmm? It is a sad tale.”

“Who’s Ita Chi?” Twilight asked.

Story sighed and looked at her, “Itachi was a ninja from Konohagakure. He was apart of the most elite organization of shinboi: The ANBU black-ops. The ANBU are special shinobi that are ha-...hoof picked by the kage. They only take orders from the kage and the ANBU leader. They have no name, age, rank, family, or friends, they just fallow orders, obediently, without hesitation, and without question. Itachi is a special case, he was able to keep his identity, but not what he held dear. He was forced to kill everyone in his clan, his clan was the Uchiha clan. The reason why he was forced to slaughter his clan was because there was a rumor that the Uchihas were planning on starting a war against the Konohagakure.”

“But why would they have him slaughter everypony in his clan?! Why not somepony else?!”

Day Dare-Ah snickered at the question, “Because the Uchihas have a special type of magic that is passed down in their clan. Its known as the Sharingan. It’s a visual magic. With the Sharingan you can mimic every move your opponent makes without a single flaw, read their next move without being wrong, and best of all, trap them in a genjutsu, hmm.”

“W-...What’s a genjutsu?”

“It’s like a dream, but you’re awake. The caster of the genjutsu can control what happens, but the sad thing about the jutsu, is the fact that the opponent still feels pain, even if the genjutsu is broken you still feel every last thing that the caster did to you in the dream, hmm!”

Twilight was hesitant to ask another question due to her fear of the answer.

Story walked up to her as she backed away from him, “So what’s better than using an elite from the very same clan that has been sentenced to extinction? They ordered Itachi to slaughter his own clan, and he did it without hesitation or question, but he didn’t fallow them correctly. He killed everyone, including his best friend and his own parents, but he left his little brother, Sasuke, alive. He told his little brother that he had killed everyone just to test his skill and for sport, and that he should kill him to get revenge. After that he left the village and Sasuke, now he patiently awaits for his little brother to become stronger, so he could die by his ha- hooves so Sasuke could believe that he’s a hero and that did the right thing.”

Twilight was already up against a wall and Sad Story was close to her, his caramel eyes staring into her violet eyes, “Listen to me Twilight, I was forced to go rogue because I was turning my enemies and criminals into puppets, heck before I went rogue because the Third Kazekage tried to kill me! And well......you’ve already seen what I have done to him....that is why I went rogue. Its because I don’t see the problem! why should they care if I turn criminals and enemies of Sunagakure into puppets? I mean, think about it. If Equestria was at war, and I was turning the enemy’s solders into puppets that will be under my permanent control, would you rather have me turn them into puppets or would you risk them surviving our attacks and running to their leader and telling them about our abilities and how he survived? Wouldn’t you rather have them on Equestria’s side, under our control?”

Twilight’s eyes were locked on his, she remembered the saying that the eyes were the gate way into the soul, but Story’s eyes were as cold as ice, “H-...He’s right. But its cruel! W- What would make him get interested in such a thing?! How is it even-...NO! I’m not even going to ask!...”

“Well? What’s your answer?”

“I-....I would rather have them on Equestira’s side...”

Story smiled at the answer and walked away from her, “There! Now you see my point: why care for the enemy’s life if they are only going to continue to oppose you?”

“As for me, Itachi forced me to go rogue. We made a deal, we would fight each other and if he won I would go rogue, if I won, he would leave me alone.......I lost, hmmm....” Day frowned, he looked at Sad Story, “Um....Sasori....Can I talk to you in privet, hmm?”

“Sure”

As they unlocked the door and went out side, Twilight felt herself fall to the floor in disbelief and relief, she was in utter shock.

“How can this be?! Ponies killing each other?! I’ve heard about it in history, but not now?! Does the Princesses know of such things? Do they have an ANBU Black-ops? Do they have them go and kill somepony?”

“The hell was that, hmm?” Deidara sneered.

“What are you talking about?” Sasori looked at his teammate in confusion.

That! Was it necessary to tell her the horrors of the Shinobi world?!”

“Deidara, don’t tell me that you’re getting soft.”

“NO! I’m not! Its just.....This world is completely different to ours! This world still has its innocence!”

“I know, but it’s a matter of time before it has its first war! If this Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are as innocent as the rest of this world, they will never survive a war! So telling her student was the best thing we could have done!”

“What the fuck you do you mean by that?!”

“If there will be a war here and the Princesses can’t make a decision such as whether or not they should maker sure that all of their enemy’s solders are dead, Twilight Sparkle will make that decision for them.” Sasori began to walk away from the library.

“Where are going?!”

“I’m going to look for FlutterShy. She seems to be like a medical-nin, so I’m going to have her help me get some ingredients for a new poison.”

“Just don’t kill her!”

“Of course I won’t, she’s not worthy of becoming a puppet.”

Sasori then left, leaving Deidara sitting outside of the library.

“You could have at least went a little easier on her, hmm.”

He walked back into the library, he saw that Twilight was on the floor, she looked as though she was going to burst into tears at any moment. He walked over to the unicorn and sat beside her.

“Hey, look, I’m...sorry that you had to hear all of that. Sasori can be heartless most of the time, but sometimes he slips up and shows that he isn’t as heartless as he’d like to be, hmm.”

She didn’t respond.

“He told me that the main reason why he told you those things, was because if there was a war, and the Princesses can’t make a decision, you could help out and make it for them.”

She looked up at him, “But...why? Why? Why would your rulers do such horrible things?”

“Hell if I know? Different perspectives I guess. Heck, even Leader-sama has this plan on making peace between the nations of our lands, but its convoluted and just plain insane!”

“What is it? And who is this leader that you always talk about?”

“He calls himself ‘Pain’. And well......His plan is: World Domination by destroying it.

Twilight’s eyes got big, she shot up, “I THOUGHT YOU WERE APART OF A GROUP OF MERCENARIES FOR HIGHER! NOT A TEAM THAT IS TRYING TO DOMINATE THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!”

“Why did you think I didn’t want to join the Akatsuki? And to tell you the truth, I really doubt that he will succeed. So don‘t worry about it, hmm.”

“That’s a relief I guess, but why doesn’t he try to make peace by love and friendship, like the way Princess Celestia did?”

Deidara held in his laughter, it sounded utterly ridiculous to him, but then he remembered the way he was treated when he first met Twilight and the citizens of Ponyvill. They treated him like he was an old friend. Suddenly words echoed in his head, he knew those words, they were the words that Pain had said several times, “Love breeds sacrifice, which in turn it breeds hatred. Its impossible to make peace with such a thing...”

He felt his laughter die in an instant, he then frowned at the unicorn before him, “Well...from what he’s told me....he said that love breed sacrifice and sacrifice breeds hatred.”

“That’s not true!”

“Well in a way it is.”

“What do you mean?” Twilight’s eyes were being filled with frustration.

“Well if your mother sacrificed her life to save you, would you hate her killer, hmm?”

She went silent for a minuet, “Of course, she’s my mother, I lov-...”

“See. But you don’t have to see it in Sir-Leader’s perspective. Equestira did something that my home could never do! I’m sure if Leader-sama saw this land, he would be in shock” Deidara began to crack up laughing, “I would love to see the look on his face when he sees Equestria!”

“Well, it sounds like your leader and your land just don’t understand that love and friendship can go along way.”

“I guess....Oh! I forgot to tell you.”

“Tell me what?”

“You wont get Sasori’s respect. Trust me, I’ve around the guy for many years now, and not once has he given me a single sign of it, hmm.”

“Really? At the party, the two of you were acting like best friends! How is it that he doesn’t respect you?”

“Its just the way he is. But anyways, I’m sure you can tell that he and I are from an extremely damned land,.... so guess we’re just paranoid hmm....”

“That’s understandable,...I guess.”

Deidara looked at the glum unicorn. Twilight still looked stressed even though he tried to explain to her that Sasori was just trying make her stronger incase of a crisis! He sighed to himself and looked at her. An idea popped into his head.

“Hey. Isn’t there a place where someone can relax here? Like a hot springs or something?” he asked.

“There is a spa.” she sighed.

“Well how about you grab some of your friends, and hang out at the spa? I’ll take care of the library, for you. Doesn’t that sound good, hmm?” Deidara smiled. He new that it was going to be easy, but he just had a weird feeling, like he needed to do this. He just couldn’t place his fing-...hoof on it.

Twilight looked at Day Dare-Ah, she now knew that she had once again judged a book by its cover. The peach pegasus may have been scaring FlutterShy the other day, but he is actually a gentle-colt, unlike Sad Story, who acted like one but is actually a cruel pony. She looked up at him, then down at her hooves, then back at him.

“I-....I guess that a small break....wouldn’t hurt...”

Suddenly he grabbed her and flew her out the door, “Well get going! You don’t want to keep them waiting! Now go and enjoy yourself, and don’t worry I’ll take good care the library and Spike, hmm~!” he then slammed the door in her face.

“Well that was interesting. Why would he be the kind one, when he was constantly poking fun at FlutterShy?”

------------- Time skip… at the spa--------------------------

“Oh, dear! Its too bad that FlutterShy and Rainbow Dash weren’t here to hear that!” Rarity exclaimed.

“I know! Who knew that its possible to turn somepony into a puppet!” Pinkie Pie said.

“Where are they anyways?” AppleJack asked.

“I don‘t know where Dash is but last I saw, FlutterShy was with, .....Sad Story...” Rarity’s eyes went big.

“OH NO!” Twilight nearly shouted, “Who knows what he could have her doing!!!”

Sasori was with FlutterShy in the Everfree forest, he picked the last ingredient on his list, he smiled at the result.

“Um...Sad Story-”

“Yes, FlutterShy. I know that these are toxic!” he interrupted, the shy pegasus.

“No, that’s not what I was...going to ask...”

“Then what is it?”

The mare went quiet for a moment as she kicked the ground a little, “I was...wondering,...Why is it that Day Dare-Ah likes to scare me, and why he is so mean?”

He blinked at the question, “To tell you the truth, I don’t know why he is such a little brat, and I could care less. Why did you ask me such a thing?”

She stared at him in surprise, “Well...you’re his best friend,...right?”

Best friend?” Sasori started to laugh.

“W- Why are you-”

“Best friend? We are not even friends! What would give you such an idea?”

“Well, at the party...the two of you were talking and laughing like you were friends and that you knew each other for a long time!” she mumbled.

He looked at her, he sighed, “Well, he isn’t my friend, nor do I think that he and I will ever be. Thanks for the laugh though, and thanks for your help. I have to go now, see you later.”

He walked away, faintly hearing her saying, “but-...but-...oh!”, he rolled his eyes at her as he continued on his path to the cave that he left the dog in. Soon thoughts began to flood his mind. “Deidara and I, ‘best friends’? Its an insult! When she asked me such things, I took them all as insults! But why the hell was I holding my self back?! It wasn’t because of suspicion, nor the fact that Deidara told me not to......what the hell was it?!”

When he reached the cave entrance he could hear the diamond dog howling, he snickered at the cries for help. As he walked in to the cave he said “You know that it wont work right?”

The dog looked at him with fear filled eyes, “W-what are you gonna do to me?!”

Sasori placed the ingredients on a table that he made a while ago, he got his tools and began making his poison, “Oh nothing…well not yet. But…lets just say that your going to be a...test subject....”

Fido couldn’t help but stare at the unicorn in confusion, “Who are you anyways?”

Sasori chuckled, he has been asked that many times in this world, but no one seems to be able to pronounce his name correctly, he’s already gotten used to being called ‘Sad Story’, might as well. “No one in this world seems to be able pronounce my name correctly, so I’ll just tell you the name they gave me; Sad Story.”

The dog was stunned, “What do you mean when you said this world? A-..Are you saying-...”

“That I’m from a different world? Yes, I am.”

“How’s that possible?!”

“Lets just say that someone tried to kill me.”

Fido was speechless, he stared at him for a minuet, “Why.”

Sasori began to laugh like a maniac, “What do you think?! I’m a killer! I’ve turned so many people into puppets I lost count!”

The dog began to shake in fear, his eyes were a large as dinner plates.

“And soon you’re going to replace one of my favorite puppets.” Sasori watched as Fido tried to claw his way into the ground trying to dig a way out but suddenly black symbols appeared on the chain to his caller as it wrapped around him.

“What the-”

“Oh, sorry did I forget to tell you that the chain is cursed? Oh how thoughtless of me.” the unicorn said sarcastically. He then looked back to the poisonous plants and continued to make the poison.
