WAT - The Many Adventures of Team Crafted in Equestria

        Jason trotted through the maze, fear gripping him. He'd never liked mazes, and being in a magical pony land didn't help that. Looking around, he saw something a few feet away. "What the..." he muttered to himself. Walking up to it, he saw it was...his helmet? "What are you doing here?" he asked. The helmet started to roll away on its own. "Well, that's not weird at all," Jason said, and followed it.

        Jason rounded a corner and came upon a clearing. The helmet was gone. "Oh, hello, Jason." Jason blinked. "Discord?" he asked. Discord appeared in a flash of white light and hovered a little bit off the ground. "Yes, it's me," Discord said. "Why are you here?" Jason asked. Discord smirked. "The question is, Jason...why are you here?"

        Jason backed away a step. "W-what do you mean?" he asked. Discord shrugged, flying on his back through the air. "Well..." he began. "You left your planet--your people--to join Sky's pathetic little so-called 'army'. I just can't imagine why." Jason shook his head. "I left...Earth is my home now...Sky and Ty are my friends..." he said. "Oh, really, Jason, you don't actually think that they care about you, do you?" Discord said. "They do care about me!" Jason cried. Discord flew down and put his face right by Jason's. "No they don't. They only care about themselves, Jason, and you've known that the entire time. You don't need them...your home isn't Earth, it's up in space! And it's time you realized that," he said, and touched Jason's forehead with a finger.

        Sky ran through the maze, frantic to find Ty. He kept running into twists, turns, and dead ends. Finally, he stopped at a dead end and collapsed, panting. "Poor thing." Sky's eyes grew wide, and he bolted onto his hooves. "Ty?!" he cried. The dead end started to slide into the earth, revealing a path through the dead end. A silhouetted figure stood at the end where the hedge had been. "Ty...what a cute name," said the figure. "B...but...your name is Ty," Sky stammered, confused. "My name is not Ty. It is..." The figure trailed off, and suddenly, two dragon wings snapped out of his back. The figure darted into the air faster than anything Sky had ever seen, and landed in front of Sky just as fast.

        Sky stepped back. The figure...had to be Ty. He looked almost identical, but had spots of gray all over his coat. His horn was still there, but the figure also had gray, Enderdragon-like wings and a matching tail instead of a pony-like one. The figure was grinning evilly, revealing sharp fangs, and his eyes were purple and slitted. "Ty...what happened to you...?!" Sky gasped. "My name is not Ty," the figure snarled. "My name is ENDERLOX."

        "Wh...what?" Sky said. The figure--Enderlox--took a step back from Sky. Sky's eyes glistened, and he blinked. A tear rolled down his cheek. "Discord is very happy you are all here," Enderlox said nonchalantly. "He always loves guests, you know, and he feels he owes you all one for waking him up." "H...how would you know that? Ty, snap out of it!" Sky said. He slapped Enderlox, who just stared at him for a second. Sky thought he saw a flash of recognition in his purple eyes, but it was gone as fast as it had been there. Then Enderlox started to laugh. His horn started to glow purple, and a ball of light was building up at the tip. Enderlox looked down his muzzle at Sky--he was very tall, for a stallion. "But," he said after he was done laughing, "Discord feels you are getting in the way."

        Just before the light from his horn shot at Sky, Enderlox shook his head violently and the cruelty was gone from his face. "Sky, RUN!" he yelled, and Sky knew it was Ty. Enderlox's eyes flashed the same red they had been before, but then they were purple again. The hardness returned to his face, and Ty was gone. Sky felt more tears, and backed away, ears back. The ball of light shot at Sky, and Sky leaped out of the way in time. The light blasted into the ground, leaving a scorch mark. "OH MY GOD!" Sky shouted, and ran away quickly. Enderlox watched him go. "You're interfering with Discord's plans, Deadlox," he growled. Don't touch my friends! cried a voice in his head--Ty's voice. Enderlox chuckled darkly. "You can't control me," he said. "You'll be gone forever soon, as will your friends. And Discord will rule the world."

        Sky, in his blind state of fear, confusion, and sadness, eventually ran straight into something which knocked him on his haunches. Dazed, Sky blinked away his tears and looked up. Jason was standing there, scowling down at him. "Jason! Oh my God, you are NOT gonna believe what just happened to me--" Sky began. Jason snorted. "As if I'd care," he growled. Sky raised an eyebrow. "What--Jason, what's wrong with you? I found Ty!" he said. He realized that Jason looked slightly...grader than usual. His colors weren't as vivid as they normally were.  Jason rolled his eyes and looked ahead. "Nothing's wrong with me," he said sourly. "I just know where I belong, and I don't need you guys anymore." With another snort, Jason turned his head up and walked away. Sky just watched him go, disbelief on his face. What's happening to my friends? he wondered. Can I get them back?
