Demons from the Past

Aldric walked out of the forest a couple of days later, sleeping and hunting to stay alive. Stretching, he transformed into a dog and walked into Ponyville. After a few minutes walking around, he spotted Pinkie, so he ran after her. Pinkie turned around at Aldric and smiled.

"Hi Aldric! What you are doing? I'm going over to Rainbow to ask if she wanted to pull pranks with me! Have you ever done a prank before? They're so much fun! Hey, do you want to pull pranks too?" Aldric was amazed by this pony, not only can she see through his disguise, but she has almost infinite things to talk about.

"I don't know Pinkie, Rainbow doesn't really like me remember," he replied, not wanting to see that annoying pegasus again. She laughed, obviously the message went over her head.

"Oh don't be silly! In a little bit you two will be buddies in no time! Come on, let's go find her," she said, yanking his arm with her hooves, making him stumble forward and almost fall. He was even more amazed, he grabbed him, with her hooves. He was about to ask when he heard light snoring above him. He looked up to see a cloud with a little bit of rainbow fur off the edge. "Okay," Pinkie said in a whisper, "I want you to to that roar thing you did a couple of days ago, just not as loud. We don't want everypony in Ponyville to freak out, remember." He nodded and looked back up, the cloud had drifted a bit but that didn't matter. He inhaled and let out a roar, loud enough for anypony around a twenty-five feet of them.

"WHAT THE BUCK!" Rainbow yelled, covering her mouth. She fell off the cloud and landed on the ground. Pinkie fell over laughing while a dog stood next to her, cocking its head to the side. Then it spoke.

"Pinkie, I really don't see the point of this. All it did was make her angry.... well, angrier... at me." Rainbow snorted and pawed the ground, while Pinkie had gotten up and walked over to Rainbow.

"Aw Rainbow, don't be that way, it was just a prank." Pinkie put her hoof over Rainbow, who was still mad-no, she was furious at him. Over the past couple of days he embarrassed her, hurt her and her friends, and pretends like it wasn't his fault. Well, it wasn't exactly his fault, but she felt like she should be angry at him.

"Fine," she turned her head and whispered something to Pinkie, who smiled in response and nodded, then they both looked at him, "Time for a little revenge." Rainbow said to him, practically hissing. To her amazement, he just laughed. It was more of a bark than a laugh but it still was a laugh.

"You honestly think you can catch me? I would like to see you try." He taunted them, trying to make them attack him in some way. They looked at each other and whispered out some sort of plan. They nodded and turned back. Aldric transformed back and got ready, hand moving to his sword but he stopped himself, he forgot that he wasn't fighting an enemy. Rainbow flicked her tail at him, launching some dust, which he covered his eyes before the dust even got close. Rainbow flew up, grabbing two clouds and began to rub them together. Pinkie pulled out some kind of cannon from... somewhere. They fired at the same time, but when they did, Aldric had a flashback.

Aldric slashed at the goblin, part of a party of goblins who ambushed him on his way to his hut. The goblin's head was hacked clean off. Aldric looked up to see a boy pulling out a blade from a goblin. He saw a goblin fire blaster's, the equivalent to a cannon, fuse going down. It was aimed straight at the boy. "GET DOWN!" The boy heard the voice and turned his head, only to get hit by the goblin cannon. Lightning flashed above, revealing the boy's right arm was completely gone, spurting blood, and he dropped down, dead. Then Aldric, clenching his sword, rage filling up every bone in his body. This boy, was his student. "GAAAAAAAH!" Aldric screamed, charging at the goblin war party. He began to slash at the goblin who fired the shot, but the goblin get moving back. "Aldric stop it," the goblin yelled at him, but he didn't hear it. Another goblin tackled him to the ground and kicked him in the face.

Aldric was wrenched back into reality, and he realized he was pinned down by Applejack, who looked furious. He turned his head to see Rarity and Twilight to his left, Fluttershy, who was calming down Pinkie to his right, and Rainbow, flying above him. "What happened?" Rainbow's jaw dropped.

"What do you mean, 'what happened?', YOU NEARLY KILLED PINKIE PIE!" She yelled at his face, making all of the ponies look down after hearing the word kill. War rarely happened in Equestria, so hearing that word made everypony uneasy.

"I... did?" Aldric asked her, though he already knew what had happened. Rainbow got even more angry and slammed her hooves down on his face, breaking his nose.

"Rainbow! Stop that now! He obviously doesn't know what happened or why he attacked Pinkie!" Twilight yelled at Rainbow, making her stop and walk away. Fluttershy came back over, and so did Pinkie, though she kept her distance.

"Actually Twilight, I think I know what happened, I was having a flashback....and it wasn't one I like to remember." He told them, even loud enough so Rainbow could hear, if she was even listening anymore. "I could tell you about the flashback, if Applejack got off me. Also, can I tell you tomorrow? I'm kinda starved and it is almost nighttime." He was right, the sun was being lowered down and everypony was hungry. They all went back into town and went their separate ways, and he was heading back to the forest.

'Tomorrow is going to be a loooong day,' he thought to himself, 'well, it could be worse. I could've actually killed Pinkie.'
