Previous Chapter

Flint had gotten rumor of a pony in canterlot, but Pinkie's balloon he rides was being used by Trick. Which meant that he had a take the train, but didn't know where to go. He then saw Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo coming out from Sugarcube Corner. He then decided to ask if they knew where the train was.

"Hey, girls. I have a question to ask you." Flint said smiling friendly at them.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!! DEMON PONY!!!!!!" They all shouted in unison, then ran away in a yellow, orange, and white blur.

"That was weird. I suppose that it might be some kind of weird game." Flint said and then saw Vinyl.

"Sup Vinyl, can I ask you a question?" Flint asked.

"Sure bra!" Vinyl said, then whispered in his ear, "But you didn't hear it from me." Vinyl then spoke in a regular tone, "So whatcha wanna know?"

"Um... I was only going to ask where the train is." Flint said raising a eye brow.

"Oh! Never mind what I said. Go to town square, find Sugarcube corner, then stand in front and look to the left. You should see it, if you don't... If you don't then you need glasses bra." Vinyl replied.

"Thanks, Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and, Scootaloo were acting weird. Do you know anything about that?" Flint asked.

"I have no idea, they were whispering and gasping the whole time. So I heard from Trick that some bad dude is in town. If there is, I think he'll give in to Trick. Ficken pony's insane when he's fighting, especially if he uses that staff of his." Vinyl replied.

"A bad pony, huh? Might be Joshua. Keep me posted, okay?" Flint asked.

"Ok see ya later bra." Vinyl said. Flint headed for the train station. But when he got there he remembered something... He had no money. Flint then went to Sweet Apple Acres and saw Applebloom panicking in front of Applejack.

"Applebloom are you okay? Your starting to make me worry about you." Flint said. He originally wanted to ask for money for the train ride, but Applebloom looked like she saw a ghost. Applebloom turned around and her eyes went wide.

"D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d..." Applebloom stuttered in fright.

"well? Spit it out sis." Applejack said firmly.

"DEMONPONY!!!!!!" Applebloom shouted and She ran off in a dusty blur kicking up dirt everywhere.

"Uh, Flint, mind explainin why ma sis called ya a demonpony?" Applejack asked confused.

"I'm starting to think that she found out about my past." Flint said and sighed.

"Ah'd like to know yer past, and don't lie. I'm the element of Honesty, ah know a lie when ah see one." Applebloom said firmly, Flint sat down with his back to a tree. He figured he had to tell them sooner or later, he hoped that it would be later.

"Before I was born, a demon was sealed inside me. The demon was apart of me and I was shunned. I lost all my friends and was called demonboy. When I became a brawler, I met Benny. He was the first to except me even if I'm part demon. I was alone before I met him." Flint said and Applejack realized that he was telling the truth. Applejack hugged Flint afterwards.

"I'm sorry Flint. It must of been hard on you." Applejack said, After a few minutes she released the embrace, "Now what was the other thing you came for?"

"I heard Benny might be in canterlot, so I was going to ask for money for the train." Flint replied.

"Oh! Is that all?" Apple jack asked and handed him a bag of bits, "Half of that should get you to Canterlot, and there's some extra if somthin catches your eye." Applejack winks and goes back to bucking apple trees while Flint head for the station. Before he left, he looked back to say one more thing.

"Can you explain to Applebloom about my past?" Flint asked.

"Yes, Ah need to set that filly straight. She and her friends take things too seriously an jump to conclusions." Applejack said and bucked a tree, all the apples fell into the buckets below, "Now you'd best be goin, you don't want to miss that train of yers."


Flint made it to the train and then to Canterlot. He then looked for Octavia. He had planned on staying at her place, mainly because he didn't want to see Luna after she saw him burst into flames. He walked up to a mare.

"Excuse me miss, I'm looking for Octavia. Do you know where she lives?" Flint asked. The mare scoffed at Flint.

"Tourists." The mare said and walked away with her nosed in the air.

"Flint? Is that you?" Flint turned and saw Octavia, "Never talk to anypony in Canterlot. There all snobs. I'm a teensy bit snobbish sometimes but these ponies are 24/7 snobs."

"Hey, I was going to ask if I can stay at your place. I'm looking for someone here, but I don't have a place to stay." Flint said smiling cheerfully, he was happy to see Octavia again.

"Uhh sure, follow me." Octavia said, she let him to her house and the two stepped inside, "So, who else were your looking for?"

"One pony at this moment. He is a brawler like me and my first friend." Flint said.

"Oh! Well at the orchestra I heard some snobs talking about a crazy pegusus in the gardens. Tomorrow we should investigate. But for now we should get some sleep." Octavia said yawning.

"Thanks for letting me us your spare bedroom." Flint said and Octavia looked at Flint awkwardly.

"You don't have a spare bedroom, do you?" Flint asked, blushing awkwardly.

"Yes, I do... Unless yoooooou..." Octavia said hiding her blush.

"No, I'll stick with the spare bedroom." Flint said still blushing. Octavia let of a sigh of relief.

"Phe- I mean goodnight." Octavia said. Flint said goodnight and almost instantly fell asleep. He started to dream, the dream was when Flint first met Trick. When Flint woke up he was on the floor. How he got there, he had no idea. It was still night out and Octavia brushed in the room with a worried face. Apparently she heard Flint fall out of bed.

"Flint are you ok?" Octavia's mane was in a serious bed head.

"Fine, but you kinda look cute with a bedhead." Flint said staring.

"After sleeping at Vinyl house a couple of times you learn to fortify your side of the bed. So were you have a nightmare?" Octavia said leaning in.

"Don't remember. Sorry for worrying you." Flint said and Octavia hugged him.

"It's fine, just don't fall again.". Flint went back to bed and started to dream. He was in the crowd of one of the tournaments back in his dimension. Unfortunately he was a pony in a human crowd. Down on the floor was the human version of him. The announcer blared his mic. "Ladies and gentlemen!!!! In the ring we have... FLINT METIOLES!!!!" The crowd roared as Flint threw his hands in the air and his battle music played. "and his challenger. A newcomer in the Brawler tourneys, a man shrouded in mystery, he wouldn't tell us anything about him and the Government ain't got shit on him. He's... THE TRICKSTER!!!!" A cloud of smoke exploded from the other side of the ring. Flint shot a minor morning star at the smoke. It went in but came strait out hit in floor in front of him. A voice spoke through the smoke.

"You have potential in that attack. But you are to rash and rely too much on brute force." The smoke dispersed. In front of Flint was a man with a white tux and a red bow tie, he also had a white top hat and a staff. "Now, prepare yourself for battle!" Flint watched Trick and his human self fight. He saw Trick counter and block all the moves he threw at Trick.

"Like I said... you aren't thinking about what I'll do... your only thinking about your next attack. Not any of mine." Trick said. Flints whole body bursts into flames and jumps at Trick. Trick frowns and steps out of the way. After Flint regains his balance he jumps again. This time Trick telports on top of Flint and hits him with the staff.

"And you think you can outwit an Expert strategist? Ha! I may be new but I know how to fight!" Trick said. A human jumped in the ring and tackles Flint. It was Benny, Flint was dreaming of his past.

"Flint get a hold of yourself." Benny said and a burst of flames burnt him, "damn it." Benny punched Flint in the face and the flames despersed, knocking out Flint. A bright light woke up Flint and he confirmed that he was still a pony. He then looked to the side and saw Octavia.

"Come on wake up Flint. There's somepony here to see you"Octavia said. She didn't look happy at all, so it was easy to guess who it was.

"It's Trick, isn't it?" Flint asked. Octavia nods and they both walk into the living room.

"Ah! Hello Flint, I hope I wasn't late." Trick said smiling and pulled a carrot out of his hat, he then started to eat.

"Actaully your early. I haven't started to look yet." Flint replied. Trick snickered and pointed at Octavia.

"Yes I noticed." Trick said smirking. Octavia and Flint both blush.

"S-s-shut up Trick!" Octavia said hiding her blush.

"Octavia and I are just friends. I asked if I could use her spare bedroom." Flint said.

"Teeheehee! Oh I know!" Trick said and literally hops off the couch, "Now, the royal guards just arrested a crazy Pegasus flying into Celestia's bed chamber." He opens the door and Flint heard him yell outside.

"Come along Flint! ADVENTURE!!!!" Trick shouted.

"Sorry Octavia. I didn't plan on Trick showing up." Flint said sighing.

"It's ok. You find your friend, it sounds like he's in trouble. " Octavia said smiling, yet bummed to see Flint go.

"I got that, but the pony can be different. I only came because of the rumor. There is no positive that it is Benny, only a maybe." Flint said hoping that it was in fact Benny and not some opponent that they had to fight.

"I assure you it is indeed our friend Benny. Not even a phsyco Pegasus would fly into castle bedchamber." Trick said, turning around and looked Flint in the eyes, "And trust me, you don't want Celestia to get mad at you. She's worse than me or you." Trick turned and continued to walk.

"You'll have to go without me. The rumor you heard is different than mine. Plus I'm the last person, er, pony that Celestia wants to see. Don't ask." Flint said.

"I don't have too." Trick smirks at his latest mental smoke bomb. Trick head for the castle and advises Flint to watch out for anymore Brawlers. When Trick came to the castle doors the guards immediately blocked his way.

"Now now! Is that a way to treat a famous adventurer?" Trick asked and batted his eyes, but The guards never said a word, "Ugh! Do I have to do this every time I go through the front. I new I should've went at the back entrance. those guards know Equestrian.". Trick pulled a plush moon out from his hat and the Guards let him through. When he came to the under ground dungeon he found the Pegasus writing an escape plan. He was completely unaware of Tricks presence.

"Whatcha writing there pal!?" Trick asked smirking.

"The names Tana and I'm not telling you. I'm busy you asshole." The pony shot out. Trick realized that she wasn't Benny, but was still one of the Brawlers that they needed to find.

"Well I can already tell your not from this dimension." Trick said and Tana was about to ask when trick spoke first, "The term is Flankhole. And yes I have had that said to me before." Trick shrugged and started to laugh.

"Who are you?" Tana asked fiercely. Trick answered her in a deep bat pony voice, "I'm somepony, you should be afraid of. I may not look like much." Trick points at his whole body. He wasn't skinny, fat, or muscular, he was a mix of all three.

"But I can traumatize you faster than you can say help." Trick said smirking.

"Fuck me, Trickster? Is that you?" Tana said surprised. Trick flashed green and was wearing the white tux and white he always fought in. He did a slight bow with his hat, "The one and only deary!"

"I didn't think that I'll ever say this, but I'm so glad to see you." Tana said smiling. Trick snickered, he always adored that ponies didn't like to see him. He was always a... Tricky bastard.

"Yes, I know, I'm a handsome stallion. I see your in quite a pickle there." Trick said and tapped the cell bars, "I'm guess you were trying to fly with your newly a acquired wings hmm?"

"Yeah, but I'm no Pegasus." Tana said and stepped more into the light revealing a horn on her head. Tana was an alicorn and that surprised Trick.

"Plus don't flatter yourself, you not that handsome and you still not my type." Tana said chuckling.

"Pssh! Of course I am! But unfortunately for you, I'm married to the most beautiful princess in the land." Trick put his hat to his chest like some romantic stallion and looked of into the distance like some day dreamer, and just as quick as he had done this he snapped back into the conversation.

"So! I suppose you also can't use. Your magic yet... Hence you trying to write that escape plan with your hooves..." Trick said smirking again.

"Magic? I'm a brawler, I don't believe in magic. It's only cheap illusions. I'm still trying to find a way to use my Stardust again." Tana said pouting. Trick started to laugh at an uncomfterbly loud tone.

"Always with the jokes Tana. Of course magic is real! Why look here!" Trick said, then he reached inside his hat and pulled out his staff, "Remember this? You don't remember the fireballs or eletictric strikes. Do you no remember me teleporting? How else could I be everywhere! How else could you be an alicorn!? Explain that with science!".

"I'm still trying to figure it out. Plus, you being married to a princess? I got to see this." Tana said.
