Elements of Insanity: Wake Up

by Trojan

Concealed in Concrete

Concrete, all I could see was concrete, I was tired at looking at concrete. For an unknown amount of time I just sat there scratching my hoof at the ground in a small claustrophobic room with 4 concrete walls, a concrete ceiling, and…….. you guessed it, a concrete floor. I was slipping into what I now know as madness….. Insanity. My eyes were bloodshot and twitching, my body was skinny and sagging. My mane and tail was a mess, and my right hoof was starting to bleed from excessive scratching. I was murmuring to myself; “somepony wake me up, somepony wake me up, somepony wake me up!” This was said repeatedly. I tried using celestia’s harmony spell to no prevail. I had lost too much of my sanity to perform even the simplest of spells. And to think that I thought that they had taught me everything. This coming from the unicorn that could travel to multiple dimensions, copy universes, and even wearing the infamous alicorn amulet without getting corrupted. And now look at me, I was the laughing stock, at least there was nopony around to laugh at me. The only part of me that still had life in it, was my cutie mark; three mint chocolate chip ice cream cones. I’d thought at it one last time, with my first encounter with the Elements of Insanity I got close enough to see that their cutie marks had changed. They looked weird from what I could remember, out of place, and they referred to each other using different names than what their files had said. And it was all because of that damn graveyard and those evil spirts that lurked there that turned 6 ponies into pony monsters. And I was about to become one of them. My stomach churned, I still wasn't used to this kind of war. Equestria was once bright and cheerful, but ever sense ponyville got completely taken over, all hell has broken lose. Before this war, nopony knew what swear words were, but now…. Let’s just say that…. That this monster shit has fucked up everything I’ve known and loved!  Suddenly a bright light flashed in the center of the room. I turned my head away and put out my two front hooves to block out the light. When the light died down, Princess Celestia was standing right in front of me in all her royal glory. Suddenly my sanity slowly started to return and I was filled with hope and joy, I was going to get out of here, I was going to survive! I was so happy it was a while before I could actually form a sentence. “C-c-celestia! You’ve come to save me! Normally I don’t like being rescued and preferred to do the rescuing, but at this point, I’ll take any opportunity to get as far away from this nightmare as possible. “I will always be there for my students, but before we go can you do one thing for me? “Yes celestia?” I asked waiting to receive orders. “I want you to take a gooooooooooood long look at this face because it’s the last time you’ll ever see it!” Another flash was emitted, it was quicker yet brighter than the first one. I was confused at what celestia had meant. Had she abandoned me? Was she dead? Was I hallucinating? She had a twisted smile when she said it, which was unnerving. I repeated my action of blocking out the light, when I noticed the light had died down, I lowered my hooves to find out what the hell was going on, I wish I had never looked. “Oh look it’s our favorite “student” said a high pitched demented voice. I recognized it, I wished it wasn't real, even though I whole heatedly knew it was. Right in front of me were the six pony monsters that had ruined mine and countless other ponies lives; the Elements of Insanity. “No! Somepony wake me up!” I screamed. They then started that god damn laughing of theirs, and I just continued screaming. “Somepony wake me up! Somepony wake me up! Somepony wake me up!”
