The Rebel King

"Our parents?" Dewlap and Twilight said in unison.

"Yes! They're around here somewhere, can't remember." Shining Armor said. They roamed around in the forest.

"Son!" A voice whispered over to Dewlap.

"Dad?" He asked. He ran towards where the whisper came from. Four figures stood behind some bushes. Two were his mother and father. He ran towards them and gave them a bear hug.

"It's so nice to finally see you." His mother said. The two other poneis came to him, the stallion being blue with a rather navy blue mane and tail. The mare being a shade of pink and white mixed together, and she had a white and pinkish mane.

"Oh, right," Dewlap said. He sort of forgot that Twilight and Shining Armor where still around, searching. "Twilight! I found them." He heard a squeal of excitement and rustling getting closer. He saw a silouette of Twilight in the bushes. Everybody watched as the silouette got bigger.

"Son, both of us know something." Dewlap's father said as he gestured to himself and his mother.

"This isn't good, is it?" Dewlap asked. His father shook his head.

"Apparently, Chrysalis has team up with some armed ponies and are coming this way, not really a good situation." He said.

"Living in a barn and a world that turned to thunder, what's next? Alien race?" Dewlap said. Yes, their luck has been slipping from their hooves. It was completely terrible for them.

"Don't jinx us. Anyways, you need to be ready." His father said to him. His father was close to his face and stared at him for an entire eternity.

"You want a tic tac?" Dewlap finally said. "I'm a little nervous here, back up a tad." He said once more. His father backed up after three eternities, making Dewlap exhale.

"Get some sleep, boy. You'll need it." His father said. "Oh yes you, I'm Boron," Boron said to Twilight. "And my wife's name is Bari." Boron held his hoof out, and Twilight got the memo; they shook hooves.

"I'm Twilight Velvet." Twilight said in a soft voice.

"I'm Night Light." Night said in a voice a bit higher for a stallion his age; either that, or just out of pure fright, because Dewlap was a changeling king.

"Are you alright?" Dewlap said. Night cleared his throat.

"Sorry, it's hard to see a friendly changeling when many try to kill you." He said.

"I feel that pain as well." Dewlap said with the same emotion.

"Ok, now that everyone got to know one another," Boron said to make the group of seven quiet. "Are you ready to head to the enemy camp?" Everyone nodded in agreement. Boron smiled as he clapped his cheesy hooves together. "That's good, now which way is it?" Night Light face hoofed.

"Boron, you're an idiot." Night said.

"What? I forgot." Boron said. Night sighed.

"It's that way, towards the north star." He said to remind Boron.

"Thank you, to the north star!" Boron said with an adventerous tone. Dewlap went to Twilight.

"Which way is north star?" He whispered.

"You're stupidity kicked in again!" She hissed. Dewlap stood there in silence as the others went to an enemy camp.

"Wait up!" He said after a while.

They went deeper in the forest as they followed the north star. Dewlap tried his best not to fall asleep, because it was twelve o'clock at night. Shining Armor yawned a few times and almost fell asleep.

"Boron, it's time we sleep," Twilight Velvet said in a tired voice.

"I, uh…" Dewlap muttered.

Dewlap fell asleep infront of Boron's eyes.

"Fine, we'll sleep." Boron said.

"About fucking time," Night Light said.

"What was that?" Boron asked him.

"Nothing! I only coughed!" Night used as an unconvincing excuse.

"I should've heard a cough." Boron muttered. Twilight made a substitute cough like her father, making Boron a bit more convinced. They all went to sleep out in the woods as twilight dragged 'Sleeping Beauty' around. Boron kept an eye out for anybody around them. Twillight laid down next to Dewlap, wondering about how he uses his sleeping powers at a time like this. She shut her eyes and fell asleep.

Dewlap got up and looked around to see if Boron was still searching. Yes, he faked his tiredness. He ran off, but Twilight woke up and caught his hoof. He tripped and hit his head.

"Ow!" Dewlap hissed at Twilight.

"Where are you going?" Twilight asked. Dewlap rubbed his head in pain as he looked at Twilight and sighed.

"The real way." He said.

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.

"Into the cave where Chrysalis and Dave are hiding." Dewlap told her. She frowned and pulled Dewlap towards her.

"Don't keep a girlfriend worrying." She whispered into Dewlap's ear. Twilight kissed him as he listened. "I losted you about two times. I don't need you lost forever." She said.

"I'll be fine." Dewlap said to her. She let go of Dewlap's hoof and sent him off with a good-bye kiss. Dewlap walked off into the forest, where he was no longer visible, but he could be heard. She also supressed the urge to go after him; there was a rustle off in the distance.

"I'm OK!" She heard Dewlap said.

Dewlap nearly broke his leg when he fell down, that's why he made the biggest lie ever. He kept casting light spells to illuminate his way. With his little incedent, he started limping a bit, because his leg had a rate of four stars.

"You betrayed me!" Dewlap heard nearby. He saw a cave not so far away after the voice was heard. He walked down, giving supreme caution, until the entrance caved in.

"Fuck," Dewlap muttered. "And just when I got in." He walked further into the cave, results were seeing a flame in a hole below him. He jumped down, seeing Dave putting Chrysalis hostage for some apparent reason.

"You'll fail if you try to kill Ezylryb." Chrysalis said.

"He doesn't deserve to be mentioned," Dave said without noticing Dewlap. "Besides, I'm better than you." Ezylryb? Dewlap got a new question in his head, next to why Chrysalis is held hostage.

Splish! Dewlap accidently stepped into a pool of water. Dave lunged at him, pushing his head into the water and somehow breaking his left back leg.

"I'll finally kill you!" Dave screeched at Dewlap as he pulled his head out of the water and started to cough. Dave pushed Dewlap's neck into the water, including his head. His lungs started to fill with water, replacin the air in it. He opened his mouth to make a garbled scream. Bubbles came out when his sight started to fill with black dots.

"Get away from him!" Chrysalis yelled. She tackled Dave with a vigourous amount of force. Dewlap forced himself out of the water as Chrysalis attacked Dave with the most force as possible. Dave teleported away from her grasp and reappeared infront of Dewlap.

"Surprise!" He yelled. He punched Dewlap upside the head, making him fall on his side and breaking his leg and hurting his head. He watched as Chrysalis and Dave attacked one another.

"Why can't this be all a dream?" Dewlap whispered to himself, right before he blacked out..

Dewlap's eyes started to force themselves open, revealing that he was in hell. Why, you ask? Because he was still in the cave and Chrysalis was watching him.

"Thank goodness, you're alive." Chrysalis said.

"Sweet Celestia, I must've been exceedingly horrible to puppies in the past two years." Dewlap said as he rubbed his eyes. Then, something surprising happed. Chrysalis hugged him with great job. "What was that line? 'The enemy is my friend' or something." Dewlap said.

"You need to stop him." Chrysalis said.

"Who?" Dewlap asked.

"Dave!" She said.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because he's trying to take the kingdoms over!" She yelled at him.

"Which ones?"

"Both!" She said. They spent about ten minutes of silence, then Dewlap remembered a question.

"Who's Ezylryb?" He asked.

"You," She said. Dewlap looked confused. "The kingdom gave you a fake name, well more like me. I went to the future and saw that no one knew who you were because I gave you that name, but I realized I haven't given your name yet, so I gave you it after you fled."

"It's quite confusing with time, isn't it?" Ezylryb said.

Chrysalis kissed him.

He felt confused once more. First, it was all hatred and rivalry. Now, it's romance, everyone knows everyone. Why couldn't the world be like this?

"Are you ready to leave?" She asked.

"Problem: my leg is broken." Ezylryb said. She ignored him as she flew through the hole Ezylryb entered with. He followed her as the rocks that caved in on him exploded into pebbles.

"Problem solved." Chrysalis muttered. They walked outside as Chrysalis hugged Ezylryb. Their vision bursted with bright light.

"Far now, you can stay

Right here, in the day

Until somehow you can find,

A slightly better state in mind

Right here, in my arms

Away from all harm

You'll be safe from all flares

O, I know you don't care

You can raise your head up to the sky

Take a deeper breath and give it time

You can walk the path along the line

With your shattered part of mind

You said you could always stay

Right here in the light of day

Until somehow you can find

A slightly better state of mind

When I said you will fall

You get nothing at all

Hide your tracks beneath the line

Of your shattered state of mind

Is that what you heard

Broken words in the dirt

Gettting out into the sun

Here we come, here we come

Here we come, here we come

Here we come, here we come

Here we come

You can raise your head up to the sky

Take a deeper breath and give it time

You can walk the path along the line

With your shattered part of mind

You said you could always stay

Right here in the light of day

Until somehow you can find

A slightly better state of mind

You can raise your head up to the sky

Take a deeper breath and give it time

You can walk the path along the line

With your shattered part of mind

You said you could always stay

Right here in the light of day

Until somehow you can find

A slightly better state of mind

then when day light comes through

When that day is anew

Then it will be time

For a new state of mind

When all eyes are on you

You will know what to do

Since you would've have found

Your new state of mind

When you raise your head up to the sky

Take a deeper breath and give it time

You can walk the path along the lines

You'll always know that you'll be safe

I'll be here through out your days

Come find me now in the day" Chrysalis sang.

They both smiled at each othher as they were safe. "You're developing pupils." Chrysalis said with a laugh.

"What?!" Ezylryb exclaimed. He morphed a mirror infront of his to see his eyes. "Oh my Celestia! I am!"

"Where is Ezylryb?!" Boron kept saying.

"Who's Ezylryb, Celstia damn it!" Twilight shouted at Boron for minutes.

"Where's Dewlap, anyways?" Shining Armor asked.

"He's been gone for six hours," Twilight said. "Where did he actually go?"

"Hi, guys!" Ezylryb said. Twilight looked around to see him. She saw him alright, but he was next to Chrysalis.

"Dewlap, get away from her!" She yelled. Ezylryb got infront of Chrysalis and formed a tranparent shield to cover the both of them, knowing that Twilight would've actually tried to kill Chrysalis. She casted a killing spell, but as usual, it backfired.

"Stop!" Ezylryb shouted. "She's a friendly now!"

"I can't make sure of that." Chrysalis said.

"Ok! What are you trying to say?! I'm not sure if I'm trying to kill you, or trying to help you!" Ezylryb shouted at her. They both backed down after his episode of rage.

"Assure me that I can trust her." Twilight said.

"She saved me," Ezylryb said. Twilight stared at him blankly. "What? Don't you think saving my life was elaborate enough?"

"Ezylryb, I think we should hurry. Dave and his alliance will be heading to the barn soon." Chrysalis said.

"Will someone tell me who Ezylryb is?" Twilight said. Ezylryb raised his hoof. "You're Ezylryb?"

"Yes." He said.

"Then why have we called you Dewlap for awhile?" Twilight asked.

"Fake name." He blankly said.

"Then let's hurry." Twiliht said. Chrysalis looked at Ezylryb.

"Complicated alicorn, isn't she?" She said.

"Yes, but she's my complicated alicorn." Ezylryb said. Chrysalis looked offended by that comment.
