Corrupted Harmony

Garrett wandered around Ponyville, continually getting closer to the boundaries of the town. Finally he stood at where the Everfree Forest began. He was about to walk into the forest when a loud voice called to him,

"Hey, Garrett!" The voice yelled. Garrett turned to see Pinkie Pie hopping towards him. Garrett couldn't pin it down, but Pinkie Pie reminded Garrett of someone he knew. Her personality, her appearance, her love of parties...

"Hey Pinkie, whats up?" Garrett asked, still analyzing the forest.

"Oh, nothing much, I was a bit bored, then I saw you walking towards the forest, so I followed you here!" She said, now bouncing in place. "So what are you up too?" She asked.

"I don't know. When I need to think, I just wander," Garrett said. "It's so peaceful here..."

"Yeah. So are you gonna go into the forest or what?" She asked.

They wandered through the forest, Pinkie Pie leading a conversation, and Garrett mostly listening.

"I had a lot more stuff before I got here," Garrett said, when he got a chance to speak. "My things must have scattered..."

"Hey, did you have some kind of hose looking thing?" She asked. Garrett thought.

"I think so, why?" He asked.

"Because it's over there," Pinkie replied, pointing at a small bush. Garrett ran to the bush and pulled the item out. Garrett looked it over. It was very odd looking. It had a handle with a trigger on it. the base was tan colored, with a small chrome barrel on the bottom, and a long, large chrome nozzle. Garrett screamed with joy.

"What is it?!" Pinkie Pie asked, matching his excitement perfectly.

"This is amazing!" Garrett yelled, holding the machine above his head. "This could fix Equestria!" Garrett rooted around the area and came across hundreds of small bottles filled with green liquid. "Pinkie, help me get these bottles into my bag!" He yelled, scooping up the bottles and dumping them into his bag. "This is huge..." Garrett laughed. "This will change everything

"This, is the Clentaminator," Garrett announced proudly, holding out the strange device.

"The what?" Applejack asked, clearing her ears.

"Um, if you don't mind me asking, why are we here?" Fluttershy asked, looking frantically around at her surroundings. They were at a site where the Corruption had taken over. The landscape was ugly and dead. The grass was a light shade of purple, tall grass and flowers wilting and shriveled. The tree wood was slightly purple and rotting, the leaves wilted and dead. the sky was a dark haze, like smog had covered the area, the sun was a sickly color, like the sky itself was suffering. Fluttershy shivered.  "I hate this place, so, so much..." she said.

"Well, I can fix that," Garrett patted her on the head, grinning. "Check this out," With that he pointed the Clentaminator forward and pulled the trigger. A long beam of glowing green mist leaped out of the device. As soon as it hit the ground, the dead looking grass, quickly reverted back to a healthy green color, flowers stood up and seemed to be bursting with life. Tree bark begun to regrow and leaves became healthy again. The sky cleared, and the sun shone bright once more. Garrett carried the beam around and sprayed everything, until the area they were in looked as if nothing had touched it. The six ponies gasped and laughed in amazement. Soon the entire area glowed with light, the Corruption only a small purple speck in the distance. Soon the six mares were gathered around him, slapping him high-hoofs and asking him how that amazing machine had fixed everything.

"That was mighty impressive!" Applejack said, surveying the area to make sure the infection was gone.

"I didn't just purify the surface, either," Garrett said smugly, patting the device. "That beam traveled hundreds of feet underground," Garrett said. "Corruption can only travel so far, a couple feet, and it can only corrupt stone and grass, if there isn't any of that nearby, it just sits there!" he exclaimed, laughing.

"All the wildlife will come back too?" Fluttershy asked hopefully.

"Check it," Garrett said, pointing to the sky. Butterflies and birds were flying around. Squirrels and rabbits were also returning. Fluttershy smiled up at Garrett. Suddenly a sick squelch sounded, and a rabbit's decapitated head rolled towards the group. All of them screamed. Except for Fluttershy. She simply stared at the head, shaking subtly. A cold laugh rang through the forest they were in. Raze stepped out of the shadows and held up his blade, now bloody, and sneered.

"So, found your little windup toy?" he asked looking at Garrett's Clentaminator.

"My little 'windup toy' just destroyed your shitty little biome, fuck face," Garrett retorted, holding up his Excalibur.

"The corruption is not shitty!" Raze snarled. spitting at Garrett.

"Oh yeah?" Garrett asked, malice dripping from his voice. "Give me one shitty reason why your shitty biome isn't as shitty as it looks?" Garrett took a step forward.

"The corruption is a marvel of nature!" he continued "It spreads, on it's own!" Raze screamed. "I CONTROL IT, I CAN CONTROL WHERE IT GOES!" His voice was reaching a fever pitch. "IT IS MINE! ALL MINE!" He ran toward Garrett and swung the sword horizontally at his neck. Garrett blocked the blade with his own, and smacked Raze in the face with the flat side of his sword, breaking his nose, and sending him stumbling backwards.

"I've been practicing shit head!" Garrett roared. Fluttershy was shaking more violently now, and all of the girls were looking at her.

"Um, Fluttershy, you alright sugarcube?" Applejack put a hoof on her shoulder. Raze was looking at her too.

"What, are you crying?" Raze started laughing. Fluttershy looked at him. There were tears in her eyes... But they were tears of rage

"You. Killed and innocent, defenseless animal..." She said, dangerously calm.

"Yeah, I did, boo- fucking- hoo!" he yelled, sneering at her. Garrett looked into her eyes, and saw only rage.

"Um, Fluttershy?" Garrett asked. Fluttershy held a hoof up to silence him.

"I never thought somepony could be so sick, so cruel, so..." Fluttershy was looking for a word to describe him. Garrett leaned down and whispered a few choice words into her ear.

"Such a wimpy, stupid, ugly, shitty, fucked up, pitiful excuse for an even slightly functioning life form!" she screamed. Her five friends were taken aback, but Garrett just smiled. " I mean honestly, were you dropped on your head?!" She yelled "Did you lick a dirty window as a child, is that it?" she took a few steps toward him. "I'll tell you something mister, you had no right to come here, so you know what you should do?" She took a deep breath. "FUCK OFF!" She yelled. Garrett was impressed, and maybe even a little scared, of her righteous anger.

Raze simply doubled over laughing.

Bad mistake.

Fluttershy ran towards him, turned around and thrust her back legs at him with all of her might, sending him stumbling backwards. Garrett busted out laughing

"Dude, you just got your ass beat, by a fucking pony!" He laughed, clutching his stomach. Fluttershy gave him a look. "Woah... sorry..." He said. Raze tried again and again to get up, but to no avail. "Let me kill him, girls, Please?" Garrett begged, hefting his sword.

"No, we need to take him to the Princess for questioning," Twilight said.

"Aw man, your no fun!" Garrett complained. Garrett walked over to Raze, who was still trying to get up.

"Hold him up for me, i know a sleep charm that will work perfectly," Twilight said. Garrett hauled Raze to his knees and held his head still.

"Time for a nap, dick head," he said coldly. Twilight released a beam of lavender light that struck Raze in the head. He slumped and Garrett hefted his limp body over his shoulder. "You guys know this guy is the reason why the Corruption was spreading so quickly, right?" He asked. "Now that Raze is out of the picture, Corruption will be easier to deal with," He smiled at the ponies, and they smiled back.

"You know what this calls for right?" Pinkie Pie asked, all except Garrett knew the answer.

"What?" Garrett asked, confused at the grins on the mare's faces.

"A PARTY!"
