Chapter 1: Event

Painter Brush was in his room asleep, he was awoken by a loud crash coming from his living room. Being a Slight paranoid pony He always had a small knife hidden under his bed to be safe, so he grabbed it and ran down stairs.

When he got down he saw his Dad lying dead on the ground, he then looked up and saw a colt with a 357 revolver in hoof blood splattered all over his Light blue coat. Painter whipped out his knife and threw it at the murderer, he hit his right shoulder. The colt took the knife out of his shoulder, dropped it, and ran out the door spilling some blood.

Instead of giving chase Painter ran to his dead father’s body with his mom sobbing over him. He hugged his mom both of them crying into each other’s shoulders.

8 days later a funeral was held for Painter’s Father. A colt dressed in what looked like a police uniform walked up to him and said: “I’m very sorry for your loss”. He leaned in closer and whispered: “if there is anything I can do for you let me know”.

And almost immediately Painter Responded by handing him his knife and said: “Could you trace the blood for Dna and for hoof prints”? Also if you find out who he is could you tell me? The man responded with a silent nod and walked off with the knife.

Painter hadn’t gotten out much since the Funeral he mainly just sat in his room only coming out to eat and go to the bathroom.  4 days after the Funeral there was a knock on the door. Knitara, Painter’s mom opened the door the see Police Chief Colt Phelps. Knitara said: “Hello Officer come in, may I ask what you are doing here”?

Colt Responded: “Your son asked a favor of me”.

Knitara then asked: “what was it that he wanted”?

“He wanted to know who the killer was. He gave me his knife which had the man’s Hoofprints and blood on it”. She responded with a nod and then she yelled for Painter to come down from his room.

When he got down the saw Police Chief Colt Phelps standing there with a folder that was labeled “Evidence”, Painter walked up to Colt and said: “is this it”? Colt silently nodded and handed Painter the folder. He opened it up and looked at it for a few seconds closed it and said: “so the Adopted son of Princess Luna huh”?

“Yes, Um Painter now that you know who it was that killed your father what do you plan to do”: Colt Asked.

“I plan to take this evidence to princess Celestia. I would take it to Luna but she might be a bit more hesitant do defend Morning than Celestia would”.

“Sorry Painter, but I can’t let you do that”: Colt said in a very stern voice.

“What do you mean I can’t”: said Painter Brush in a very annoyed tone.

“You know too much and I think it’s time I kill you”: colt said while bringing out his pistol.

“But you gave me this evidence, why would you do that then kill me”: Painter Protested.

I didn’t think you would go that far with it, I thought you just wanted to know who killed your father”: Colt Responded.

Then Painter Yelled: “I’M GOING TO AVENGE MY FATHER”. He then pulled out a knife. and Colt reacted by firing his gun. It missed and hit the light bulb in the room. It was night time so there was no other light emitting into the room.  Colt started panicking, breathing very heavily, and aiming his gun in every direction. Then a shiver ran down his back, Painter went around behind him and placed his knife at his throat.

Then he said: “nighty night Colt”. Then with a quick swipe Colt was laying on the floor, with blood spraying out of his neck.

Chaper 2: Preparations

(Author Note: This is a very short chapter compared to the other ones)

After Painter killed Colt he wasted no time, he went up to his room and started packing a few things into his backpack. Knitara came upstairs and into his room. She said with a worried look on her face: “why are you packing”?

Painter Responded: “I’m going to find the person who killed my father and avenge him”.

Knitara responded: “but it was the son of luna you… you can’t do this you might d-die”.

“And it’s a risk I’m willing to take. If I can stare into his eyes and see the monster that did this it’s worth it”. Knitara started to cry, knowing that she couldn’t convince him to stay. He finished packing but stayed the night. So he could rest up.

The next day, Painter woke up went down stairs and saw his mom had made him some pancakes for breakfast. He sat down and didn’t speak a word all he did was eat his breakfast went back upstairs and grabbed his things. When he came back down Knitara was standing in the middle of the room a few tears running down her face and she said: “take this”. She handed Painter a Sack full of food.

“Thanks mom”: Painter responded as he started walking out the door but was stopped by knitara’s voice, she said: “Please… be careful”. Painter gave a silent nod as he left.

Chapter 3: The Journey part 1 of 2

As he left the house painter took a deep breath, and began his journey to Canterlot Castle. He was at the edge of the city and a thought popped into his head (I can’t do this alone, I need some help) so he went to his old friend Sven’s house. Painter knocked on the door of his friend’s house, waiting for someone to answer the door.

The door opened very quickly a hoof grabbed him, pulled him in the house and closed the door just as fast. The next thing he knew he was tied to a metal chair. His vision was still blurry but he could make out what looked like a royal palace guard. Then the man started talking: you think you’re so brave huh? “You killed a police officer and attempted to assassinate Prince Morning Dawn, punishment is death by electric chair”. Painter started to look around franticly noticing that there were no wires or cords a confused look came upon Painter’s face. “But we consider that to be a far more vicious crime than that, so we decided for a slower death”. Then a very muscular colt walked up to him with what looked like brass horseshoes.

Then the colt swung his hooves across his face leaving bruises and cuts. Blood was dripping out of his mouth, Painter had lost all hope. A quest that he had just begun was already over. But suddenly there was a loud bang and the door to the room swung open all painter could see was what looked like a light orange mare with a cowboy hat. Then she said in a country accent: “party’s over boys”. And from the severe beating or the relief of somepony could actually be saving him Painter fell unconscious.

He woke up a few hours later in what looked to be a bedroom. Although he recognized it, it was Sven’s. Then he heard a very familiar voice saying: “so you turned him back into stone, couldn’t he just get out again”?

And another voice that was very calm and soothing said: “everyone he’s awake”. And then what sounded like a stampede of buffalo, six ponies ran into the room five mares and one tall red colt.

The tan mare from before said: “Well I’ll be he’s already awake”.

Then a pink mare with a fluffy mane said: “HOORAY LETS HAVE A PARTY TO CELEBRATE”.

“Not right now sugarcube we got bigger things to take care of”: the tan mare said.

Still confused at what’s going on Painter said: “hey Sven who are all these ponies”?

Sven responded: “well this is applejack”, pointing to the tan pony, “this is Big Mac”.

The colt interrupted: “you know I don’t like being called that”.

“Sorry this is Big Macintosh”: Sven said in a sarcastic tone. He continued: “the one who brought you back to good health is Fluttershy”.

She hid behind her mane and said with a very quiet: “h…hello”. “The overjoyed one over here is Pinkie pie”: Sven continued.

She said: “Hi would you like a cupcake”?

“Anyway these two over here are Rainbow dash & Rarity”.

Painter with slight excitement in his voice said: “hey I know who y’all are, the elements of Harmony, the ones who stopped Nightmare moon & Discord”. “Wait a minute where’s Twilight”?

Sven sighed then said: “She’s missing and there has been an Incident, it involves your father”.

“Wha… what do you mean it involves my father”?

“Well he had found out some information about our ruler princess Celestia, Do you remember that my dad died a few months back, well him and your dad were investigating a conspiracy about Celestia, apparently Luna has been replaced with a doppleganger and I think Celestia plans to keep the throne long after her Retirement by killing the ones who are next in line to take her place”.

  “This is much bigger than I thought, all I thought it was, was a senseless murder”: Painter said.

“We can’t stay here long the palace royal guards are looking for us specifically for you”: Rarity said.

“Why me”: Painter exclaimed.

“Your father left something for you, that necklace that he gave you for your birthday, it contains the evidence against Celestia”: Sven said.

Painter pulled his necklace off and noticed a switch on the side he flipped it and saw a blood red gem on the inside of the necklace. “Wha… what is this”: Painter asked.

“It’s the seventh Element of Harmony, well... more like The Element of disharmony”: Rainbow Dash said.

“Yeah after we defeated that feller Discord, Celestia turned him into a gem so it would be harder for him to escape next time”: Applejack said.

  “But there was a problem, Discord cast a spell upon himself that gave him control over anypony that was near him, and Celestia made the gem into a necklace not knowing that he did so he took control over Celestia, but instead of escaping he morphed his body to her appearance and killed Celestia and is now the ruler of Equestria”: Sven explained.

“So do we have a plan”: Painter asked? “Erm… well we were hoping you had a plan, since you were running off to Canterlot and all”. Applejack said nervously.

“Ok um… let me think about this”: painter said while scratching his head.

“Well we can’t stay here, we got to move, everypony start grabbing your things, we leave in 15 minutes: Sven said!

15 minutes had passed and everypony started heading out the door but then Pinkie Pie said: “ooh wait” she flew out the door and came back 10 seconds later with a toothless alligator in her mane. Then Pinkie said: sorry but gummy loves adventures.

Then Rarity said: “but I thought you left him at Sugercube Corner”?

“I did”: Pinkie said.

“But how did you… you know what I’m not even going to ask”: Rarity said.

“Okie Dokie Lokie”: Pinkie responded

***

Painter was at the edge of the city once again but this time he had 7 companions with him, he felt far more confident than he did before. Painter’s Adventure had only just begun.

Chapter 4: The Journey part 2 of 2

The ponies had set up camp nearby the Everfree forest and Painter noticed that Fluttershy was shivering, but it was in the middle of summer so it was pretty warm out. He walked over to her and asked: Hey Fluttershy what’s wrong?

She responded with her shy voice: oh I’m just a little nervous about being camped so close to the Everfree forest, that’s all.

Painter said: “I wish we didn’t have to camp so close but it’s either this or go into griffon territory, and they’re not exactly a friendly bunch”.

Fluttershy then said: “yeah I guess you right”.

***

A few hours later everypony was asleep in their tents, but were awoken by a deafening scream, it was coming from rarity’s tent. Sven was the first one to get there and he saw a Manticore in the corner of the tent. He ran over to it started Hoofing (Pony equivalent to punching) it in the face. Everypony else got there and saw Sven Hoofing a Manticore, Fluttershy tackled Sven and said in a surprisingly stern tone: “Now hold on just a minute, let him explain himself before you start hurting him”. She then turned to the Manticore and said in her calm voice: “now go ahead and explain why you’re here”.

The Manticore began to speak: “I…I’m sorry I thought I smelled some food, and I was hungry and I…

he was cut off by Fluttershy: “it is ok we forgive you”. She turned to everypony else and said: “We forgive him Right”. She gave the scariest look at them, they nodded in agreement. She turned back to The Manticore and asked: “May I ask what your name is”?

“Erm… my name is Arbos”: said the Manticore. “Come with me Arbos and I’ll patch up your wounds that Sven left”: Fluttershy said while glaring at Sven.

Everypony had headed off back to their tents except for Sven who was calming down Rarity in her tent. Everypony was asleep now except for Painter who was a bit nervous about facing his father’s murderer. He heard what sounded like a quiet moaning, so he left his tent and tracked down the sound, it was coming from Rarity’s tent. He snuck in incase that was her doing a weird snore, then he saw something that would be burned into his mind forever, Sven’s fluffy a** plot plowing Rarity.

He instantly ran outside and saw Pinkie Pie hopping towards him and she said: “Heya Painter what were ya doing In…”

he shoved his hoof in her mouth to keep her from alerting Sven & Rarity.

“Be quiet Pinkie they’re um…”

pinkie pulled painter’s hoof out of her mouth and said: “oh are they screwing again, she giggled and said: oh those two.

Then painter asked: Wait how did you know?

“Well ever since they met nearly every night they’re doing it, and trust me when I say they’re not usually this quiet: Pinkie said with a slight nervous smile.

Painter smiled back and said: “Well I’m just going to go back to bed we got to head out soon”.

“Ok goodnight Painter” Pinkie said as she walked over to Rarity’s Tent, then she said poking her head in: Alright you two lovebirds, get some sleep.

***

Everypony had gotten up and packing up their tents and various Items. Painter was looking for Fluttershy so he could ask what she did with The Manticore. He saw her walking with The Manticore nearby the campfire, he went over to her & said: “Hey Fluttershy can I talk to you in Private”?

“um… sure”: Fluttershy said as they secluded themselves from the Manticore.

“So what do you plan to do with him”: Painter said while pointing at The Manticore.

“Well I was thinking of letting him stay with us, if um… that alright”: Fluttershy said while shrinking behind her mane.

“Can he fight, I mean I don’t want to sound rude but we can’t let every wild creature in our team just because they’re nice, like last night we saw him getting beat up by Sven”. Then Painter’s eyes widened as he remembered the Image of Sven in Rarity tent.

“Oh he explained that um… he wanted to show that he wasn't a threat to anypony that’s why he didn’t fight back”: Fluttershy explained.

Painter shook his head trying to get the image out of his head and said: “Oh okay”

They had been traveling for a few hours and a thought popped into Painter’s mind and he said: Wait everypony I just had an Idea. He immediately reached into his bag and started pulling out various weapons and said: I thought since I’m wanted that the royal guard will also be looking for you guys so we need to be able to protect ourselves.

He handed Sven a Katana and said: Here you go Sven I fixed up your old Katana, and pinkie for some reason I want to give you these.

He handed her twin Machetes and she said: “ooh I love it”. She instantly began swinging them around like she had years of experience and said in a dark voice but while giggling: “my name is no longer pinkie pie but now is Pinkie-pool” she then burst out laughing.

"Rainbow dash these belonged to my father they’re made specifically for a Pegasus such as yourself". Painter handed her what looked like sharp Pegasus wings, Painter continued while rainbow attached them to her wings: they mend to your wings and they're very flex able, go fly into that tree with your wings stretched out. She did as Painter said and flew straight into a very big tree and cut clean through it. “Hey fluttershy I have another pair if you want them”: Painter asked.

“No that’s ok um… do you have nunchuks by any chance”: Fluttershy said.

"Actually I do here you go": painter said while handing Fluttershy her nunchuks. She took them and put them in her satchel. He handed Big Mac a war hammer, Rarity took the bow and arrows, and Applejack took the knife.

“Well that leaves me with my short sword and throwing knives, alright let’s get moving”: said Painter as he zipped up his bag.

Pinkie Pie walked over to Painter and said: “thank you for the swords”, then she gave him a light kiss on the cheek which made him blush slightly. “You know what Painter, you’re kind of cute”: she said which made Painter blush even more. After talking to Pinkie for a while Painter walked over to Sven and said: "Hey Sven Pinkie Pie over there was flirting with me… I think, should I ask her to be my Marefriend?"

“Um… I don’t see why not, but um… why are you asking me”: Sven responded with a worried look on his face.

Painter said: “You're my oldest friend here”. He nodded in agreement while giving a relieved sigh. Painter started to walk away while saying: “also I caught you banging Rarity last night. Sven’s Eyes widened and his jaw dropped to the ground as painter looked back and gave off a Troll Face.

They crossed a horizon and saw a small town off in the distance. They got closer to the town and saw ponyville but nopony was excited to see it. There were royal guards running around the town killing innocent ponies and burning down buildings. What was once a nice small town became a battlefield of death and destruction.

Applejack Said with a Gasp: “oh no” as she ran off towards an apple farm.
